@ @ITEM 1999 -09 -09 City Council Minutes
Mayor Walter Parker called the September 9, 1999 Council meeting to order with
the following members of Council present: Ed Merves, Jack Youmans, Anne Monaghan,
Donald E. Anderson, Jr., Michael A. Hosti, and Mallory Pearce. City Manager Bill
Farmer and City Attorney Hughes were also present.
The Reverend Lee Bennett gave the invocation. The Pledge of Allegiance was
recited.
Ms. Lori Anderson was the first visitor to address Council. Anderson said she has
lived on Tybee for the past 37 years and that for 35 years she has been trying to get the
City to build a pool for the citizens. Anderson said that maybe the users could pay
towards the maintenance of the facility. Ms. Jane Merves told Council of all the
advantages of having a gym pool complex. Our children would not have to be bused to
the YMCA on Wilmington for swimming lessons and swim meets. You can have classes
for aerobics, stroke therapy, parties. Parents would feel safe and secure and this would be
a positive impact on the community. Former Mayor Pat Locklear and two of his
grandchildren presented Council with money earned from a lemonade stand to go
towards the skatepark. Locklear said that there is a need for the pool, stating that when
he grew up on Tybee you could only swim in June, July and August. Council could
consider a 2 level facility in order to preserve green space. The city could charge the
citizens to use the pool. Councilmember Merves said that Recreation Director Tiffany
Dennis told him that 30 kids have raised over $300.00 by having a car wash with the
proceeds going towards the skatepark. John Jarvis said that the same amount to be spent
on the pool should be given to the skatepark. Phil O'Dell said that he is concerned about
the City budget. O'Dell said that he was told that about 200 people joined the YMCA at
Tybee because it is cheaper and then they can use all the facilities in Chatham County.
There were audible denials from YMCA leaders in the audience.
Mr. Jeff Schroeder presented Council with a petition signed by all but one of the
residents on 17th Street asking that the storage trailer be removed because it is a safety
hazard and also an eyesore. Schroeder said that in May he was under the impression that
it would only be there for 10 days to 2 weeks. Schroeder read code section 10 -1 -24
Designation of Individual Parking Spaces. Schroeder said that developers raise the
elevation of property without putting in proper drainage. Schroeder stated that he has
spoken with DNR and if City does not enforce the ordinances then FEMA will put a
$50.00 surcharge on property owners.
James Carter, III used visual aids in addressing Council on the importance of
preserving the soul of Tybee. Carter said that Tybee is slowly dying lot by lot, block by
block, generation by generation. Carter said that we are spending too much time on the
noise ordinance. Carter stated a vacation without celebr ttion is no vacation at all.
Bernie Goode told Council that he would not address the issue of stop signs on
Jones Avenue tonight if they would promise to read his E -mail concerning Jones Avenue.
Angel Schroeder said that DNR is going to investigate the many complaints from
property owners about the noncompliance of developers bringing in fill dirt and causing
flooding. Mayor Parker referred to Ms. Angela Byers fc r an answer. Ms. Byers stated
that the city is 140 points away from another 5% reduction on flood insurance.

Mr. Gordon Marrow told council that the gym pool complex is going to come
whether they vote for it or not. It will be good for the community and will bring it
together. Councilmember Hosti thanked all the citizens who spoke in favor of the
complex and that he is all for it. Hosti said that the city would have to borrow the money
to construct and if the City gets in trouble please don't blame council.
Mr. Jim McCusker spoke in favor of the complex stating that Hilton Head has a
water park, a pool and the beaches for people to enjoy. McCusker asked Council to look
5, 10 or 15 years down the road.
Councilmember Youmans also thanked all who :poke but said that the City has
borrowed 1 million dollars against the SPLOST funds from the County, 2 million for
Water Sewer, and several other loans, plus a 2 million water sewer bond issue. Youmans
said that taxes are going to go sky high pretty soon.
Councilmember Merves said that when he came into office that the millage rate
was 9.9 and that it has been reduced 3 times. Merves said that the City receives revenue
towards the gym from the communication leases, and will continue to do so. Merves said
that some funds would come from SPLOST.
Attorney Lance Smith was not present to address Council.
Mayor Parker opened, asked for comments and closed the following public
hearings according to the law.
Mr. Earl Pauley presented Council with his petition for a setback variance at 1116
2nd Ave. Pauley handed out pictures to Council stating that the footprint was moved in
order to save an old oak tree. Pauley said that the contractor Ron Jacobs did not do any
thing against code deliberately. Pearce said that he does not like it when the proper
procedures are not followed. Jacobs answered that he has no excuse. Merves
commended Pauley for saving the large old oak tree. Ycumans said that he has no doubt
that if this had come before Council that they would have voted in favor of the variance.
Hosti said that he would like to see Council go forward with removing the stairs on any
construction as part of the setbacks. Planning Commission Chair Henry Levy said that
they voted 5 in favor, none opposed to the variance. Mr. Stephen Elliott spoke against
the variance stating that somewhere during construction the problem should have been
taken care of.
A minor subdivision for Damarjian & Jamieson was next. Mr. Edward Damarjian
explained the request for two single - family lots at #1 18th Place, PIN # 4- 9 -6 -19. Henry
Levy spoke for the Planning Commission, saying that they voted unanimously in favor
contingent upon the removal of some existing concrete on the lot. Angela Byers noted, in
answer to a question concerning density, that one lot would be single family (6,625
square feet) and the other (8,000 square feet) could meet the requirements for a duplex.
She said the 20' drive has been closed.
A public hearing on a zoning text amendment 8 - 1 -030 Planning Commission
was heard, requiring that planning commission members running for municipal offices
take a leave of absence after qualifying until after the election. Chairman Henry Levy
said he believes the Planning Commission has as much integrity as the elected officials
do, and the members voted 4 — 2 against change. Mallory Pearce questioned where the
ordinance originated. Angela Byers answered that it was written about 2 -1/2 years ago
but she was given a directive on August 13t to work on the planning commission rules of
procedure and this particular ordinance was among those that had not yet been considered
1

by the City Council. Code Section 8 -11 -060 Removal of Members is already in the code
and Planning Commission voted to approve. Code Section 8 -11 -110 Duties changes the
words "Chatham County Engineers" to "city engineers ", reflecting current practices.
John O'Neill spoke for Jennifer Barks, requesting a minor subdivision of 3 lots in
R -1 to be called Riverview Estates. He said the lots vary from 12,000 to 13,750 square
feet. Anne Monaghan questioned why the request is accompanied by a drawing showing
three houses at angles on the lots. John replied that nothing is being built, this is only
subdivision into 3 buildable lots. The lots will be for sale. The illustration was done for
the planning commission. Mallory Pearce asked if there had been a tree survey, and John
answered that Whitley Reynolds did it. Mr. Hughes stated that there is no minimum lot
width requirement of 60 feet. Henry Levy said that John O'Neill needs a 5' variance, but
he didn't ask for it. He said that the ordinance requires a "60' building line ". He added
that the project is very nice and planning commission voted to allow the subdivision,
contingent upon the tree survey and a 20' access easement. Jim Stoeffler gave the
Council a handout and spoke against the subdivision, saying that on 11 -12 -98 the
property was subdivided, and is now up to 5 lots which is clearly an intent to circumvent
the major subdivision regulations. He said a major subdivision would require a drainage
plan, which minor subdivisions don't. He said the property wouldn't drain as it is and
requests that the petition be denied and re- submitted as a major subdivision. John
O'Neill remarked that Mr. Stoeffler hasn't been entirely honest with the Council, since he
has been trying to buy the parcel himself. Mr. Hughes said the City Council can ask for a
drainage plan, but it isn't required. Jack Youmans said he couldn't see that it is needed
now, but at the site plan stage, yes. He added that the city has already put drainage in on
the east side of the property. It was noted that no site plan is required for single family
construction. Jim Stoeffler said that Mr. Smigel has put in drainage next door, but it isn't
adequate for all. Mr. Hughes said that the "building line" is not defined in the ordinance.
The property owner on the west side asked if there are more stringent requirements for
storm drainage for major subdivisions than for minor ones. Mayor Parker answered yes.
Angel Schroeder said the lot width used to be 50' but what does it matter if the city isn't
going to enforce the code?
The meeting was opened for business legally presented.
Michael Hosti moved to grant Earl Pauley's petition for 1116 Second Avenue and
Jack Youmans seconded. The vote was 4— 2, with Anne Monaghan and Mallory Pearce
opposed.
The minor subdivision for #1 18th Place was approved by unanimous vote.
Michael Hosti made the motion and Dee Anderson seconded. Mallory Pearce questioned
whether the concrete has been removed and was answered that the work is underway.
The zoning text amendment 8 -11 -110 Planning Commission Duties was approved
unanimously on motion made by Anne Monaghan and seconded by Mallory Pearce.
The zoning text amendment 8 -11 -100 Meetings, which changes the interval
between planning commission and city council meetings from 10 to 9 days, was approved
unanimously on motion by Anne Monaghan, seconded by Mallory Pearce.
The zoning text amendment 8 -11 -030 Membership will remain "residents ", rather
than the proposed "residents and property owners ". Michael Hosti made the motion to
reject, and Mallory Pearce seconded. The motion was accepted unanimously. The clause
regarding "leave of absence for candidates" was also rejected. The motion was made by
1

Mallory Pearce and seconded by Michael Hosti. The vote was unanimous in favor of the
motion.
The zoning text amendment 8 -11 -060 was accepted by a vote of 5 — 1, with Jack
Youmans opposing. The motion was made by Anne Monaghan and seconded by Mallory
Pearce. It was noted during discussion that most people resign from planning
commission if they are elected to the city council, but the clause is currently found in the
rules of procedure, not in the planning commission ordinance.
Michael Hosti moved to approve the minor subdivision for Riverview Estates, and
Jack Youmans seconded. Ed Merves amended the motion to add a request for a drainage
plan, and Mallory Pearce seconded. The vote on the amendment was 5 — 1, with Jack
Youmans opposing. Jack Youmans said the time for the drainage plan is at the site plan
stage and Michael Hosti agreed, adding that it is the City Manager's job to enforce the
ordinances and he needs to be held to that. Bill Farmer said that single family
construction does not require a site plan. Mayor Parker said the drainage should be
addressed by ordinance. Ed Merves said a single - family lot does not come before
Council for approval. Angela Byers added that it does not come before the engineers,
either, but only Public Works. Vote on the motion to approve, as amended, was 6 — 0.
Mayor Parker read a response from Billy Hair, Chairman of the Chatham County
Commission regarding emergency medical service on the island. Mayor Parker said the
island needs 24 -hour EMS year - round, and his request to the Chatham County
Commission elicited the note from the Chairman.
The parking of a storage trailer on 17th Street was lengthily discussed. Bill
Farmer said that the city has charged Penn Myrick for parking decals, but the trailer is
wider than the space, and he is not sure what City Council wants to do. Mayor Parker
said he was told the trailer was to be used for storage of cabinets during the construction,
which is complete. Penn Myrick said he is still using the trailer, but people keep pulling
the parking decals off. Mayor Parker remarked that the trailer is unsightly. Anne
Monaghan asked if it could be moved to the big parking lot near the new construction
site. Jeff Schroeder said the trailer hasn't been driven in 3 or 4 months, it's not a moving
vehicle, and it extends over the yellow line about 3 -1/2 feet into the street. It is illegally
parked. Angel Schroeder presented a petition signed by neighbors requesting removal.
The street sweeper hasn't been able to sweep the street all summer. Penn Myrick agreed
to re- locate the trailer and Mayor Parker stated that Bill Farmer will see that it's done.
Bills for July 1999 were approved without dissent.
Minutes of July 8th and July 22nd were approved as written.
An alcoholic beverage license for Brian Malins, 403 First Street, was
unanimously granted on motion of Dee Anderson, seconded by Michael Hosti.
Subdivision on Bay Street for Hogan/Rusher was considered. A letter from 10
nearby property owners was read into the record and becomes a part of these minutes.
Michael Hosti moved to grant approval and the motion was seconded by Dee Anderson.
The motion passed by a vote of 3 (Youmans, Hosti, Anderson) to 2 (Merves, Monaghan).
Mallory Pearce abstained.
The City Manager presented a DOT contract in the amount of $13,918.21,
representing 40% of the cost of paving in 3 locations. A map is attached to, and becomes
a part of, these minutes. The cost to the city will be just under $20,000. Angela Byers
said that she and William Pye of DPW think that paving Oceanview Court without
1
adding drainage will aggravate flooding in the area. Michael Hosti moved to approve the
DOT contract, Jack Youmans seconded and the vote was unanimous in favor. Anne
Monaghan moved to allocate up to $5,000 to improve the drainage on Oceanview Court
and Mallory Pearce seconded. The vote was 3 (Youmans, Anderson, Hosti) to 3
( Merves, Monaghan, Pearce). Mayor Parker broke the tie by voting in favor of the
motion and it passed 4 to 3.
Bill Farmer advised delaying action on a proposal from Olsen Associates, Inc.
while waiting on a recommendation from the Beach Task Force.
Bill Farmer presented a request for the addition of 2, a total of 4 signatures for
wire transfers to and from the Investment Pool. He proposed that he and Tanya Pye,
recently promoted to Finance Director, be added. The other 2 signers are Rowena Fripp
and Patricia Pagan. Anne Monaghan moved to approve, with second by Mallory Pearce.
The vote was 5 to 1 with Jack Youmans casting the dissenting vote.
Code Section 2- 4- 13(a)(5) was discussed and Bill Farmer said the department
heads have recommended one change, "vacation or sick leave ". Jack Youmans moved to
accept as it is written, Ed Merves seconded, and the vote was unanimous in favor. A
copy of the ordinance is attached to, and becomes a part of, these minutes.
An Intergovernmental Agreement regarding the Pier/Pavilion was read. Jack
Youmans moved to deny, with second by Michael Hosti, but Mayor Parker did not accept
the motion as he had already recognized Anne Monaghan who moved in favor, with a
second by Mallory Pearce. After debate, the vote was 3 (Monaghan, Pearce, Merves) to
3 (Youmans, Anderson, Hosti). Mayor Parker broke the tie by voting for the motion and
the Intergovernmental Agreement with Chatham County was approved, with Bubba to
change the liability provisions with the county.
Mayor Parker said he had asked for more input regarding the gym/pool plans,
possibly even a straw poll at the municipal election. Michael Hosti moved that the first
design be accepted as a concept and proceed from there, and Dee Anderson seconded.
Mallory Pearce said he had withdrawn from discussion due to his brother's proposal last
year. Mr. Hughes said he sees no problem in his participation now. Jack Youmans said
Chris Solomon got this gym fund started 12 years ago, and he is for the project, but
concerned about debt. Anne questioned whether a committee is in place to work with
Bill on this, and Bill gave the names of those serving: 3 from the YMCA, Chuck
Bargeron, Jim Stoeffler, saying the committee can be utilized if the Council wishes. He
recommended a cap on price while working on details prior to actual architectural work
being done. Michael Hosti agreed. The vote was 4 to 2 with Jack Youmans and Anne
Monaghan casting the dissenting votes. Bill Farmer suggested allocating a small amount,
say $3,000, applicable toward final design. Bubba Hughes said this is a precaution so as
not to obligate the city further. Anne Monaghan asked that Loree Anderson be added to
the committee. Jack Youmans said the committee should be kept small. Mallory Pearce
moved to authorize Bill Farmer and Bubba Hughes to spend up to $3,000 to begin the
committee's work with the design team, and Anne Monaghan seconded. The vote was 5
to 1 (Youmans).
Bobby Phillips spoke about the noise ordinance, saying he doesn't believe the city
is obligated to wait due to the lawsuit, otherwise the city would be a party to the suit, and
it isn't. Jack Youmans moved to accept the noise ordinance, decibel level of 75, on First
1
1
1
Reading. Second was by Mallory Pearce, and the vote was 5 to 1 with Michael Hosti
casting the negative vote.
Code Section 5 -4 -9 was approved on First Reading after a lengthy discussion.
The motion was made by Mallory Pearce and seconded by Michael Hosti. Angela Byers
said that she and William Pye agree that the ordinance needs standards. Bubba Hughes
concurred, saying that they are hard- pressed to deny a building permit without standards.
He recommended that the city contract with RDC or someone like Dave Rutherford to
help write the ordinance. He also noted that there is a permit for land disturbance
required in the current code. The vote was 4 (Pearce, Monaghan, Merves, Anderson) to 2
(Youmans, Hosti).
After another long discussion consensus was reached that there will be another
public hearing on the C -2 setbacks, to be advertised for the October meeting.
On motion of Jack Youmans, seconded by Ed Merves, Paul Mazo's bid for the
microphones for the Council table was approved without dissent.
The meeting was adjourned.

demographic change, such as areas west of the Mississippi River doubling in
population size as rapidly as Africa, the world's fastest growing region;

industry and markets, providing the economic and cultural diversity and vitality
that often define the very nation or region in which they are located;

countries, where grinding poverty and lack of resources compound their impact, but
industrialized countries, with their consumptive lifestyles, are also extremely
vulnerable to their consequences;

billion additional people in the final quarter of the 20th century and another two
billion in the first quarter of the 215t century;

to live in urban areas early in the next century, and by the year 2020 urban
population is projected to exceed five billion, or 61 percent of the world total;
