The following members of Council were present: Ed Merves, Jack Youmans, Anne Monaghan, Donald E. Anderson, Jr., Michael A. Hosti and Mallory Pearce. City Manager Bill Farmer and City Attorney Edward Hughes were present. The Reverend Lee Bennett gave the invocation. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited. Mayor Parker announced that Rep. Jack Kingston will hold a Town Meeting on Thursday, February 18th at the Old School at 5 P.M. Carl Looper requested that Council help sponsor the Golden Olympics to be held in April with a donation of $250.00. Looper said that the Savannah Bank had told them they would donate $500.00 but when the check came in the mail it was only for $250.00. Looper stated that there would be 14 events for the seniors to compete with each other. Merves asked to explain about the Olympics. Looper said that this is for people 50 years old and older and that there are entry blanks on the back table if anyone is interested. Pearce asked who are the sponsors? Looper answered the YIPPIES. Bernie Goode told Council that he has a simple request. Please ask the Police to patrol Jones and to enforce the speed limit and the no passing ordinance. Parker said that he knows that they patrol Jones heavily from 6 A.M. until 7:30 A.M. when the children are leaving for school. Pam O'Brien addressed Council on the illegal cutting of trees off Highway 80 and asked if a fine has been set. City Attorney Hughes said that Council does not set the fine but that the Judge of the Municipal Court would do the fine if necessary. Hughes stated that he is in contact with Tom Mahoney, Mr. Konculs' attorney, discussing the trees and the drainage and that no decision has been made. Mayor Parker read a Proclamation making March Red Cross Month. Council agreed unanimously. Parker announced that a Blood Drive will be held at City Hall on Thursday, February 18 from 2 until 7. Mayor Parker opened, asked for comments and closed the following public hearings according to law. Mr. Shell Solomon presented his petition for site plan approval for 30 Apartments at 209 and 211 Butler Avenue. Solomon stated that all codes have been met, parking will be under the building and there will be a buffer of green space. Solomon said that there would be a pool and an exercise room for the residents of the complex. Youmans said that Planning Commission voted to table their decision because the site plan did not show a 25 foot buffer on the corner as required under the code section for obstruction of vision at the street intersection. Solomon answered that this does not apply in the C -1 zone. Hughes said that there was no vision requirements in the old ordinance but now the revised 95 ordinances apply to all zones. Hughes said that no fences could be built to obstruct the vision but it does not apply to walls. Pearce said that he has looked at the plans and there is lots of green space. Pearce asked Byers the date of this application. Byers said that the 9th of January is on the site plan. Planning Commission Chair Henry Levy stated that there were 15 instances that lacked information or were in violation of the ordinances. Levy stated that he understands that the plan has been amended, but has not seen it yet. Levy read parts of the zoning ordinances on obstructions. Levy said that 1 1 1 he is not satisfied and would like Council to send this issue back to the Planning Commission. Youmans said that this site plan was tabled not disapproved. Pearce asked if there was a pointed copy of the 14 items. Merves suggested that when there are discrepancies they should be listed on the recommendation information that Council receives from the Commission. Levy said that they will try to do this in the future. Pearce asked Solomon if he was willing to comply with removing 1 tree for the 25 -foot buffer. Solomon answered yes. Merves questioned if Solomon has been informed of the 14 items. Planning Commission member Pam O'Brien handed a list of the items to Merves. Merves read the list. Youmans questioned if all these items pertained to site plan review? Byers explained the original site plan. Levy said that all that information was supplied after the Planning Commission meeting. Byers stated you had this information because it is on the original site plan request. Youmans stated that the Planning Commission is only here to do the legwork for Council. Rick Hogan presented his petition for a minor subdivision of a duplex at 7/9 Captain View PIN 4- 21 -16 -28 stating that all codes are met and the firewall is in place. Levy said the Planning Commission voted to approve. Dale Williams presented Council with his petition for a variance to the moratorium in order to move a single family home to a C -2 zone in order to open a business. William stated that this will be a community friendly business. Williams said that his timing is bad but that he did not know if this move was a sure thing. Williams said that this is not new construction and was under the impression that the moratorium only applied to new construction. Williams stated that in the moratorium ordinance that there is a clause for variances which he read to Council. Williams said that he also has a 211d part request for a site plan review. Williams said that this is a very old Tybee cottage that he would be saving. Anderson asked Cullen Chambers what is the age of a historic building? Chamber answered 50 years or older and that this home was probably built in the 20's or early 30's. Sally Keller stated that she was in favor of the variance in one aspect because it would save a historic building but that she is requesting that Council deny the variance. Cullen Chambers addressed Council in favor of the variance. Alice Martin requested that Council deny this variance because this is a commercial development. Steve Braden the landscape architect for the project stated that he is in favor of the variance. Shelly Ainsworth and Charlie Reeves also spoke in favor of the variance. Levy said that the moratorium was approved because of the overload on the sewer system. Levy said that this house will be on the existing septic tank. Planning Commission approved the request for the variance to the moratorium but that he would like Council to return the site plan back to the Planning Commission for review. Williams said that Levy has a fair complaint, but that this was a confusing process. Williams said that the site plan was deferred not denied. Williams said that he has improved the material, no variance is requested, he will have to remove 2 pine trees. This will be a low environmental impact and that he received information at the Planning Commission. Hosti asked when the deadline is for moving the house. Williams answered April 1, 1999. Hughes said that Williams applied for whatever he needed but was not advertised as a site plan review request, but it does not matter if it is 1 or 2 requests and that Council can act on it at this meeting. Byers read a letter from Hussey, Gay, Bell and DeYoung concerning engineering approval. (Copy attached and becomes part of these minutes) Byers also stated that she met with Tom Miller of DNR concerning the buffer from the 1 1 1 marsh and he has no problems. Frank Drudi spoke in favor of the variance and the site plan review. Zoning Administrator Byers explained to Council the petition from Terry Carriker to raise his home 2 feet in order to stop the flooding. Byers said that she has a letter from FEMA stating that this is a Tybee variance, not FEMA. (Copy of letter is attached and becomes part of these minutes) Janice Mitchell from FEMA said that the 50% rule would apply and that Carriker would need a variance form the City. Byers said that Carriker would also need a non - conforming use variance because he does not meet the setback requirements. Carriker stated that this house is concrete block house on a concrete slab. Carriker said that in the past 4 years he has been flooded twice. Carriker said that the house movers said it would cost $19,820. Merves said is he correct in understanding that FEMA said that this is not their call. Byers said we have it in writing, which is unusual. Levy said that the Planning Commission was in sympathy with Carriker problem, but that they did not have this information, but they recommended approval if it did not hurt Tybees' FEMA standing. Mayor Parker opened the meeting for business legally presented. Anderson moved to approve the request from Carl Looper for $250.00 towards the Golden Olympic. Hosti seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous. Youmans said that the money needs to come out of the recreation department budget. There is a line item for senior citizens in the recreation budget. Anderson moved to approve the site plan review petition from Shell Solomon. Hosti seconded. Pearce stated that Solomon agreed to correct the obstruction to vision at the intersection. Monaghan questioned the entrances on Lovell and the north side. Solomon answered that the entrances were from Third Street and Butler Avenue. Merves said that it is nice to see the billboards removed. Vote by Council was unanimous. Hosti moved to approve the minor subdivision of a duplex from Rick Hogan. Pearce seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous. Hosti moved to approve the variance to the moratorium and the site plan review for Dale Williams. Anderson seconded. Merves stated that this request clearly meets the intent of the moratorium. Pearce said that Council needs to be careful about granting variances to the moratorium. Hughes said that the ordinance does contain a provision for granting a variance but that it is different from the zoning variance. Hughes said that the concern is that if you grant one you must grant all. Hughes stated that each request must be looked at individually. Pearce said that the plan shows preservation of green space and that this structure is historic. Hosti stated that this request fits the variance requirements and he resents anyone accusing Council of partiality. Vote by Council was unanimous. Pearce moved to grant variance in order to raise the house 2 feet and a non- conforming use variance for setbacks for Terry Carriker. Monaghan seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous. Youmans moved to approve the minutes of January 28th. Hosti seconded. Hughes said a correction is needed concerning the drainage problems at Lullwater and Lighthouse Lane. Vote by Council was unanimous. Mrs. Dot Mangieri addressed Council concerning the material on the corner of Van Horn and Taylor stating that she has called the City Manager to complain but that 1 1 1 nothing has been done. Mayor Parker said that Billy Pye has been instructed to move the material or erect a fence around the area. Mayor Parker called a 5- minute recess. Letters from residents of 12th Street concerning the dune crossover were discussed. Assistant City Manager Fripp said that the sand can only be moved by hand. Farmer said that the City can find the money for the extension of the crossovers and we will do it. Youmans said a rubber mat was placed over the sand for people in wheelchairs down by the parking department. Farmer said that there are wheelchairs that are made to go on the beaches. Merves asked if we were going to do the work sooner or later. Parker answered sooner. Mayor Parker commended Henry Levy for all the volunteer work he does on Tybees' behalf. Levy read the duties of the Planning Commission from the code. Levy said that they need knowledge from all departments and that the Planning Commission passed a motion to this effect. Pearce moved to approve a budget adjustment in the amount of $17,000.00 in order to hire a full time person in the Inspection Department. Monaghan seconded. Youmans said that he can understand the next agenda item if Council approves the hiring of another person in City Hall. Anderson asked what this person's duties will be in the Inspections office. Farmer answered that the person would assist Byers in all that she does now and anything she does in the future. Anderson asked what the cost would be for the year 2000. Farmer said about $22,000.00. Hosti said that the salary would come out of the inspection budget. Farmer answered the $17,000.00 would come out of the contingency line item. Parker said that the Inspections Department would generate the money. Youmans asked what happened to the $17,000.00 that we saved by contracting with Chatham for collecting the City taxes? Vote by Council was 4 in favor (Monaghan, Anderson, Hosti, and Pearce); 2 opposed (Merves, Youmans). Hosti said he expect to see great improvement in the Inspections Department. Farmer explained the request for approval of the concept to add on to the north side of City Hall with 2,400 square feet of office space. Farmer said that we are running out of room and that some storage is in the auditorium and on the stage. Youmans moved to deny approval of the concept. Anderson seconded. Youmans said that there is no shortage of storage space that the City purchased the school for $300,000.00 and that there is plenty of room over there. Monaghan answered that the school is just about filled up. Merves said that he would like to see the $288,000.00 go towards a gym with added space for offices. Hosti said that the City Hall is a historic building and that adding on would destroy its value. Voting to deny approval were Merves, Youmans, Anderson and Hosti. Voting against denial were Monaghan and Pearce. Hosti moved to adopt the Resolution for the Chatham County Board of Election to handle the municipal election in November. Pearce seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous. Youmans move to adopt the Resolution on House Bill 350. Pearce seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous. Parker said to send copies to the Chatham delegation. Merves moved to adopt the Resolution on Non Game Wildlife. Pearce seconded. Youmans asked who will be in control of the money? Pearce said the committee will look at all City owned land and that this grant is up to $5,000.00 and it could be used to develop trails and signage. Pearce said that he and Rachel Perkins 1 1 1 would write the draft and then Rowena Fripp would take over the application process. Pearce said that the U S Fish and Wildlife also have grants that the City can apply for. Parker asked if the resolution being discussed was just a grant or does it require matching funds. Fripp answered that it was just a grant. Vote by Council was 5 in favor (Merves, Monaghan, Anderson, Hosti, and Pearce); 1 opposed (Youmans). Youmans moved to adopt the Resolution for the land swap with Barney Paderewski (Marlin Development Company). Merves seconded. Hughes explained that this is necessary in order to advertise in the paper. Vote by Council was unanimous. As there was no further business to come before Council Mayor Parker adjourned the meeting at 9:43 P.M. Clerk of Council Mayor Walter W. Parker 1 1 Item 9.1.7 RED CROSS MONTH -MARCH PROCLAMATION RED CROSS MONTH -MARCH The Red Cross, as a symbol and an ideal, has meant help to many of the citizens in our community, let alone people around the world. The mission of the Red Cross as a humanitarian organization led by volunteers has been fulfilled for over 80 years in our area. They provide relief for victims of disaster, as well as help people prevent, prepare for and respond to emergencies in a manner that is consistent with its congressional charter and the fundamental principles of the International Red Cross Movement. Where as: Individuals who were victims in over 150 single family fires were assisted in Bryan, Chatham, Effingham and Screven Counties through the helping hands of the Red Cross; and Where as: Over 1,800 services were provided to military personnel and their families through the Savannah Chapter and Hunter Army (Airfield; and Where as: One of the greatest volunteer movements in history is illustrated daily in our area through the work of the people who believe that a successful life must include serving others; and Where as: Thousands of persons needing blood received it due to the recruitment, collection and distribution of whole blood donated through Red Cross; and Where as: Over 37,000 people benefited from the community programs offered by the Red Cross, with more than 17,000 certificates issued in CPR, Standard First Aid, HIV /Aids Education and Water Safety Instruction during 1998. Therefore, I, Walter W. Parker, and the Tybee Island City Council do hereby proclaim the month of March as American Red Cross Month. I urge all citizens in our community to continue your generous support and assistance to work with this humanitarian organization. Adopted this 11th day of February, 1999 Mayor Walter W.

CONSULTING ENGINEERS February 11, 1999 Mr. Bill Farmer City of Tybee Island P.O. Box 2749 Tybee Island, Georgia 31328 -2749 RE: SEA KAYAK GEORGIA SITE PLAN REVIEW Dear Mr. Farmer: ESTABLISHED 1958 I have received a site plan for SEA KAYAK Georgia from Dale Williams, the owner. The site is located at 1102 Highway 80 East. The property is zoned C -2. There is an existing mobile home on the property which will be removed. An existing residential structure will be moved to the lot and utilized as an office for the business. Aggregate parking area will be developed for staff and customers. There is an existing water service to the property which will be utilized. The property has an existing septic tank which will remain in service to handle sanitary sewage. There is an existing storm drain which runs from a catch basin in the front to the marsh in the rear. The front of the developed property will be graded to the inlet; the rear will go directly to the marsh. As a result of the above, there should be no increased impacts on the City's facilities. In accordance with Bill Lovett's instructions on the process to be followed in reviewing projects for Tybee Island I have attempted to contact Angela Byers to set up a joint site visit, but have been unable to reach her. Mr. Williams has indicated that he would like to be on the Council agenda for tonight's meeting. Having examined the drawing and site, in my opinion this development, if completed in accordance with the plan presented, would meet the requirements of the City of Tybee Island and should be approved providing it meets all other administrative and legal standards. If you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance, please call. Sincerely, ;214e 404-14.,^ BILL NICHOLSON BN/nal cc: Bill Lovett 329 COMMERCIAL DRIVE (314061 • P.O.

O. Box 2740 Tybec Island, GA 31328 February 11, 1999 Dear Mr. Farmer. This is in response to our telephone conversation of February 11, 1999, regarding Mr. Carricker's structure. Your question was, "If this is not a substantial improvement, would it be acceptable for the City to permit the structure to be elevated just the requested 2 feet instead of requiring the structure's elevation to the base flood elevation ?" If review of the technical data (appraisal showing market value before the improvement and a complete cost estimate of the proposed improvement from a qualified contractor) proves that this does not meet the 50 percent requirement for substantial improvement, it would be the City's decision to allow the improvement at the requested elevation or requiring it to be elevated. If it is not a substantial improvement, it would be allowable without endangering your standing with FEMA. Please note that the floodplain regulations adopted in your ordinance in order to participate in the NFIP are FEMA's minimum flood hazard requirements. lithe State andfor local building codes are more stringent, they would take precedent over FEMA's minimum standards. We would encourage that the structure be elevated to or above the base flood elevation. The expense of placing the additional foundation, compared to the initial cost of placing steel I -beams under the concrete slab and elevating 2 feet would be negligible. • If the improvement is allowed, the City will need to advise the property owner in writing that the structure is still below the base flood elevation and at risk of flooding during future events. He should also be advised that any flood insurance policy could be rerated as the structure has been improved and is still non - compliant. Insurance premiums may be applied for POST -FIRM actuarial rates instead of PRE-FIRM subsidized rates. The property owner should also be advised that elevating the structure to or above the base flood elevation would improve the re -sale value of the property and structure. Future buyers may encounter problems obtaining a mortgage on the property and they would have to carry flood insurance if the structure is mortgaged. Feb 11 99 04:58P FEMA 1 -2- 111-111-0111 p.3 We would suggest that the City amend its mvementms or r Pace over a include a "of tim able will substantial improvement definition. p it difficult to invoke the 50% -Rule for increase the market value of the structure making substantial improvement.

The market value of the building should be (1) the appraised value of the building prior to the start of the initial repair or improvement, or (2) in the case of dame, the value of the building prior to the damage occurring. This term includes structures which have incurred "substantial damage ", regardless of the actual repair work performed. For the purposes of this definition, "substantial improvement" is considered to occur when the first alteration of any wall, ceiling, floor, or other structural part of the building commences, whether or not that alteration affects the external dimensions of the building. The term does not, however, include any project for improvement of a building required to comply with existing health, sanitary, or safety code specifications which have been identified by the Code Enforcement Official and which are solely necessary to assure safe Iiving conditions. 1 WHEREAS, WHEREAS, R E S O L U T I O N The City of Tybee Island is scheduled to hold a municipal election on Tuesday, November 2' 1999;and For the past eighteen years the City has contracted with the Board of Elections of Chatham County to superintend all municipal elections held within this City; and WHEREAS, It is the opinion of the elected officials of the City of Tybee Island that the Chatham County Election Board has preformed these duties in a superior manner, giving excellent, impartial service to the citizens of Tybee Island: NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, AND IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF TYBEE ISLAND IN OPEN MEETING ASSEMBLED THAT THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS OF CHATHAM COUNTY BE INVITED TO SUPERINTEND THE CITY'S UPCOMING ELECTION AND THAT THE BOARD ALSO SUPERVISE THE PREPARATIONS FOR SAID ELECTION TO BE HELD ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1999.
