Mayor Walter W. Parker called the April 13, 2000 Council meeting to order at 7
P.M. with the following members of Council present: James G. Burke, Jr., Jack
Youmans, Shirley Sessions, Anne Monaghan, Pamela O'Brien and Mallory Pearce. City
Attorney Edward Hughes was also present.
Mayor Parker asked Susan Dulany to give the invocation. The Pledge of
Allegiance was recited.
Mayor Parker presented Police Officer William Moseley with a plaque
commending him for his outstanding academic achievement at Level I Arson Course held
at the Public Safety Academy. Chief Price was present for the presentation. William
received at 96% on his exam.
Ms. Joan Williams of the Garden Club introduced Mr. Dan Sydner who gave a
slide show presentation on the Community House. The slides showed that the eaves were
rotten because there is not a gutter to protect the wood; code violations on electrical and
handicapped access; also the concrete steps in the front are in violation of the codes.
Sydner showed the metal ceiling and said that there were lots of unknowns in the
building. O'Brien said that she does not see the costs for the repairs and renovations.
Sydner said that it is on the last page. Monaghan asked where the funds would come
from? The City, the Historical Society, and/or grants? Pearce stated that there are grants
that can be applied for through the DCA. Cullen Chambers said that he has volunteered
his services to write grants to help pay Sydner. Pearce said that $250,000 is a fair chunk
of money and are you asking for seed money or the entire amount. O'Brien asked if there
was a cost attached to bringing the building up to code. Sydner said that once you start
with the electrical that the entire building should be done. Ms. Williams said that Mr.
Sydner did all this work at no charge to the Garden Club.
Mr. Todd Lanier requested a revocable license in order to build a dune crossover
at the end of 18th Place. Sessions asked Lanier if he understood the process? Lanier
answered yes. Revocable license from City, then the DNR permit and then building
permit from the City.
Jean McDowell, Chairman of the Greenspace and Ecotourism Committee,
requested that Council approve the committee as a Council committee, to adopt the work -
plan (copy attached) and allocate $5,000. to hire a consultant to get Tybee on the GIS
map and for the City Attorney to work on two ordinances. Bob Braddo said that the City
needs to identify sources. Braddo said that there is a statewide movement of a master
plan titled Tourism 2010. The Savannah River trail and the March to the Sea from
Atlanta to Tybee are being looked at in the Masterplan. Youmans said that Council did
not appoint this committee. Pearce said that Bill Farmer did the appointments. Pearce
said that Jean is asking that Council make this a Council appointed committee. Parker
said that they have done an excellent job.
Tiffany Dennis, Tybee Island Director of the YMCA gave an update on all the
events that have been going on and of those that are starting up now or in the near future.
Dennis said that the skate park was turned in last year as a multi use park. Dennis said
that the teen center is going great and that on Saturday nights they show movies and eat
pizza that is donated by Pizza on Wheels. Swimming lesson will be held in the pool at
the Ocean Plaza starting in May. Water aerobics are held Monday, Wednesday and
1
1
1
Fridays at the Savannah Beach and Racquet Club pool. There will be a summer daily
camp for the children on the island plus there will be participation with the Marine
Science Center in there summer program. Dennis said that through fund raising that the
Y now has $13,000 and the children have raise over $1,000 towards the skate park.
Dennis stated that she is in the process of taking bids on the repair of the tennis courts
behind City Hall. So far the bids are between $63,000 to $5,000. Monaghan
congratulated Dennis on a fine job. Dennis said that the skate park will accommodate
skateboards, roller blades and anything else on skates. There will be removable ramp so
that a lot of functions can have use of the park. Session asked how many children are
signed up. Dennis said no numbers so far.
Mr. Robert Wells petitioned Council for use of a couple of classrooms and the
cafeteria at the old school for starting the National Maritime Law Enforcement Academy.
Wells said that he is willing to work with the YMCA on space sharing. Wells said that
this academy would be held in the off season months and bring about 200 people to the
beach. Wells introduced Major Dennis King, Legal Advisor for the Chatham County
Sheriffs Department, John Right of the Sheriffs Reserves Unit and Harry Spirides who
served in the Coast Guard with him. Parker said that there is one classroom that will be
available when the dredging people move out. Monaghan stated that the cafeteria is used
for many functions and activities.
Ms. Libby Bacon read a letter (copy attached and becomes a part of these
minutes) from her husband concerning the off street parking on Venetian and Chatham.
Parker said that the City Manager, the City Marshall and the Chief of Police will look
into this issue and come up with a solution. Ken Wade made a response to the parking
issue stating that the no parking signs are from the City of Tybee Island and that an
illegal business is being run out of Bacon's home.
Parker announced that April is proclaimed as National Fair Housing Month.
Tom Nash stated that the adjacent lots on 18th Place and 18th Terrace have been
filled in 3 foot higher, this causes the flooding to property. Nash said that the City needs
to investigate, enforce the 99 storm water ordinance, and take appropriate action. Pearce
asked Hughes if he would follow through on this issue. Hughes said that there are
enforcement problems with the storm water ordinance, but he will look into the matter.
Kathryn Williams announced that Beach Sweep was this weekend at 10 a.m. at
the Pier. Williams said that a multi -use skatepark is not feasible, we need a quality park
at this time and then in the future have a hockey rink. Williams said that the time line of
this project was approved and funded last year. Williams stated that Tim Malins has
volunteered to oversee the project. Pearce asked if this was for skates only. Williams
answered skateboards and in line skates. Youmans said that Council approved the idea of
a skate park but not the funding.
Mayor Parker opened the following public hearings, asked for comments, and
then closed each hearing according to the rules and laws of the State of Georgia and
Tybee Municipal Codes.
Attorney Thomas Mahoney, Jr. presented Council with a petition from Penn
Myrick for a minor subdivision on 18t Place PIN 4 -9 -6 -031. Mahoney said that the only
thing before Council tonight is the request for the minor subdivision. Mahoney stated
that the standards have been met and the ordinances have been followed. Mahoney said
that there is not a new street, the lots meet and exceed the square footage requirements.

Mahoney said that Hussey, Gay, Bell and DeYoung needed more time to study the
drainage plan. Mahoney stated that a drainage plan was submitted even though it was not
required. Mahoney asked Council to treat this petition the same way they have done
others in the past. Mahoney also stated that any building will and shall meet DNR
requirements. Mahoney said that failure to approve subdivision would destroy the
property value and violate rights. Pearce asked about the jurisdiction line for the dunes.
Mahoney answered that issue is not before Council tonight. Sessions asked about the
drainage plan. Mahoney answered that it was not a requirement but that they had
anticipated that issue would come up so they had one done. Sessions asked if the drainage
plan was complete. Mahoney answered yes it is, but it is not back to Byers from H.G.B.
& DeY. O'Brien said that according to Section 5-4 -8 Storm Water Management the
City Council does not have to request a drainage plan it is a requirement. O'Brien also
noted that it was the City's obligation to minimize flood damage per section 5 -150.
Hughes said that the ordinance Section 5-4 -8 Storm Water Management does require a
drainage plan. Mahoney said that the City must have violated their ordinance because
drainage plans were not submitted on other projects. Chris Kline said that Myrick knew
where the property line and the DNR line was before he purchase the land. Kline said
that a plat from 1996 shows the dune line. Kline stated that this property was subdivided
into 3 lots and now Myrick has petitioned to divide one of those lots into 2 lots. Kline
said that Myrick is getting exactly what he bought. Dr. Stuart Stevens, Director of DNR,
said that there is some confusion concerning the jurisdiction law, it does not mean a no
build zone but does required that the building be built to certain standards. Parker asked
if the building was in the dunes. Stevens replied no, not in dunes. Sam Adams said that
the Shore Protection Act clearly states that DNR should be the law. The dunes protect
everything on Tybee and this will create an opportunity for disaster. Adams said that a
breach anywhere effects all on the south end of the island Adams said that he opposes
this request and that Council must choose between the safety of lives and property or the
demands of a developer. Edward Damarjian, Susan Dulany, Todd Lanier, Josephine
Doyle, Curtis Lewis, Sandra Luxenburg all spoke in opposition of the subdivision. Henry
Levy, Chair of the Planning Commission, said the vote was 5 to 1 in favor of approval
contingent upon no construction seaward of the dune juridiction line. Levy said that a
mound of sand 5 to 7 feet high has been bulled dozed. Youmans said that Levy should
state only the recommendations from Planning Commission. Mahoney said that Levy is
going beyond his duties as Chair of the Planning Commission and the Council should
look at the fact, the minor subdivision is the only request before you tonight. Pearce
questioned the building plans submitted to the DNR that shows the structure over 35 feet
in height. Mahoney said that he did not submit those plans and any variances would have
to come back before Council. Parker thanked Dwayne Harris and Dr. Stuart Stevens for
being present tonight in order to answer any questions.
Attorney Thomas Mahoney presented Council with a Petition from Magnolia
Investments for a minor subdivision at 117 Lewis Avenue PIN 4- 3 -5 -5. Mahoney said
that the zoning is R -2 and that there are no variances being requested, no trees to be
removed and the 20 foot easement is in place in order to get to Lot 28B. Mahoney said
all requirements have been met. Levy said that Planning Commission voted 3 to 2 in
favor of denial with one member abstaining because she is not comfortable with Section
5- 140(F).

Mark Curry presented Council with the petition for a site plan review for Ronnie
Navon for the Waves at 705 First Street PIN 4- 3 -5 -13. Levy said that the Planning
Commission voted 5 to 1 in favor of tabling because of no provisions for space on 2 °d
floor storage/office.
Hughes stated that Youmans has a conflict of interest in the rezoning of Lewis
Avenue and would like Youmans remove himself from the room. Youmans said that he
would not leave the room during the discussion and knows he can not vote on the issue
when it comes before Council for a vote. Levy said the Planning Commission voted 5 to
1 in favor of rezoning from R -2 to R -1 -B beginning with house numbers 107 through
175. A petition was handed in with about 30 names opposing the rezoning. A lady from
the audience stated that a lot of people on the first petition turned in at the March meeting
did not understand what they were signing so their names are on this petition also.
Kenn Wade presented Council with a petition for the rezoning of his family
property located at 106 and 108 on the northeast side of Lewis Avenue from R -2 to C -2
Bergman PIN 4 -3 -6 -2 & 2B. Pearce asked what was planned for the lots. Wade said
there are no plans to do anything. Wade asked that Council look at this as one parcel of
land. Youmans said that if the entire requested is granted then you will have about 300
feet of Commercial —2 zoning on Lewis Avenue. Parker asked if C -2 cuts through one
lot. Wade answered yes. Wade said that there is an existing structure on 106. Levy said
the Planning Commission voted 4 to 2 for approval of rezoning. Levy said that zoning
should follow the lot line.
Keith Gay presented Council with a request for site plan review, a variance, and
rezoning for Coral Investment Group at 1213 Highway 80 PIN 4- 26 -2 -7. Gay said that
the variance is for 10 feet on front in order to place 2 Kiosks. The hardship is that trees
would have to be removed otherwise in order to place all 7 kiosks. Gay stated that the
property is now '/2 C -2 and'h R -1 -B, there are 3 buildings on the land. O'Brien
questioned parking. Gay answered that the parking issue has been addressed. Levy said
that the Planning Commission voted 8 to 0 in favor of the site plan approval because this
would upgrade Tybee. Burke asked about the drainage plan. Byers said yes but no
decision from H. G. B. & DeY. Byers said that Gay is working on drainage with
Crawford. Hughes gave the history of the Hosti/Crawford drainage plan being worked on
at this time. Levy said that the Planning Commission voted 8 to 0 in favor of the
rezoning to C -2; and 4 to 3 in favor of the variance request.
Ron Jacobs requested a minor subdivision at 203 Butler Avenue PIN 4- 4 -8 -2.
O'Brien questioned the drainage plan. Jacobs answered that it will be addressed. Burke
asked about the house already being torn down. Jacobs said that he got a demolition
permit. Burke said that the house was over 50 years old, what about the Historic Review
Board. Bargeron said that the house did not have anything of value left in it, it was
falling down. Sessions asked if Cullen Chambers was notified. Bargeron answered no,
but when we do know it will be of interest to him we do notify him. Richard Kautzman
said he is favor but is concerned about the drainage. Levy said that Planning
Commission voted 6 to 0 in favor of the minor subdivision. Denny McNeely asked about
drainage and storm water. O'Brien said that Jacobs might not have been aware of the
regulation since the ordinance was not checked off on the permit application.
Mahoney presented Council with a petition for a minor subdivision for Frank
Koncul at 102 Butler Avenue PIN 4- 4 -3 -1. Mahoney said that all requirements have
1
1
been met. The land is zoned R -T with elevation of 16 to 18 feet. Pearce asked about the
drainage plan. Mahoney answered that he does not see where one was required or
requested — natural drainage. Byers said that the drainage plan was approved with the
site plan review. Planning Commission voted 6 to 0 in favor of the request.
Byers presented the zoning text amendment for Section 8 -2 -010 Definitions —
Peopleport stating that the Planning commission recommended to table for further study
and discussion. Parker said that Council can not act on it since the Planning Commission
recommended to table. Youmans stated yes we can. Byers said that the same
recommendation was made for Section 8 -3 -300 Decks, Patios & Carports.

METRO PLANNING COMMISSION 912 651 1480 P.03.06
Recommendations to City Council
from the City of Tybee Island Greenspace and Ecotourism Committee
1. Recommend approval of the Workplan as the beginnings of a planning document
to be used as a guide for further planning and implementation of that planning related to
greenspace preservation and ecotourism coordination and development.
2. Recommend that the City fund a portion of the tasks included in the Workplan in
the amount of $5,000. This amount would be used to transfer the Areas of Critical
Concern Report completed for the City by Rachael Perkins in 1995, to one or two GIS
coverages. Update the coverage using the services of a consultant and the MPC graphics
department. This will enable the coverage to be overlaid with other coverages including
Chatham County Parcel data, NWI wetlands coverage, and stormwater drainage areas.
Using GIS as a tool the City will be able to easily analyze its present inventory of
permanently protected greenspace and identify the specific areas that the City want to
protect. These two tasks, identifying present greenspace and identifying future
greenspace, are the fist substantial steps towards developing a greenspace progam. A
Tybee Island Greenspace Program in cooperation with Chatham County could allow
some of the funds from the Georgia Greenspace Program recently established to be used
for the City of Tybee Island.
3. Recommend Rachael Perkin's involvement in the first tasks as stated above.
Because of her familiarity and expertise with the natural areas of Tybee, and her already
complete report on Areas of Cntical Concern, it would be most efficient and least costly
to hire Rachael to conduct the update and identification of future greenspace needs on
Tybee. If not alone, Rachael's knowledge and skills should be utilized in cooperation
with another consultant in completing the Tybee Island Greenspace and Ecotourism Plan
and implementation.
4. Recommend that City Council request the City Attorney to develop an ordinance
that protects the sand dunes of Tybee Island.
5. Recommend that City Council request the City Attorney to develop an ordinance
that will protect an undisturbed 25 -foot vegetative buffer which protects our wetlands,
other water resources, and our scenic views responsible for the existing ecotourism on
Tybee.

Section 1. Section 5 -060. is hereby amended to read as follows
5 -060 PUBLIC HEARING REQUIREMENTS
Whenever a zoning action or subdivision procedures take place, a hearing must be held
before the public. When an applicant requires more than one zoning action or subdivision
procedure for a development project, a separate public hearing must be held for each
procedure or action. In Tybee Island there are two public hearings held for each zoning
action or subdivision procedure. One before the Planning Commission and the other before
the Mayor and Council. The Public Hearing before the Mayor and Council is by record the
official public hearing. The purpose of each public hearing is to discuss information
pertinent to the particular action or procedure. During the hearing the following rules and
actions shall be followed:
(A) General Rules of Conduct
Whenever a public hearing is required by this ordinance or by state law prior to
consideration of a zoning action, such public hearing, whether conducted by the Mayor
and Council or the Planning Commission, shall be conducted in accordance with the
following procedures:
(1) The public hearing shall be called to order by the presiding officer.
(2) The presiding officer shall explain the procedures to be followed in the conduct of
the public hearing.
(3) If the subject of the hearing is initiated by an applicant other than the Mayor and
Council, the petitioner requesting such zoning decision, or the applicant' s agent,
shall be recognized first and shall be permitted to present and explain the request
for the zoning decision. Thereafter, all individuals who so desire shall be
permitted to speak regarding the zoning decision.
(4) If the request is initiated by the Mayor and Council, all members of the Council shall
be allowed to speak as they are recognized by the Mayor or presiding officer.
Thereafter, all individuals who so desire shall be permitted to speak regarding
the zoning decision.
(5) When any person wishes to speak at a public hearing, he shall raise his hand and,
after being recognized by the presiding officer, shall stand and give his name,
address, and make any comment appropriate to the proposed zoning decision. If
within two (2) years immediately preceding the filing of the applicant's
application for a zoning action, the speaker has made campaign contributions
aggregating to more than $250 to any member of the Mayor and Council or any
member of the City Planning Commission, it shall be the duty of the speaker to
disclose the following information five (5) days prior to the official public
hearing:
a. The name of the local government official to whom the campaign contribution or gift

the application for the map amendment and the date of each contribution; and
c. an enumeration and description of each gift having a value of $250 or more made by
the applicant to the local government official during the two (2) years
immediately preceding the filing of the application for the zoning action.
d. In the event that no such gift or contribution was made, the application shall
affirmatively so state.
Campaign Disclosure Forms are available at the Tybee City Hall during normal hours of
operation. Also, Campaign Disclosure Forms shall be made available to the
public at the Planning Commission Public Hearing for use at the official public
hearing before the Mayor and Council.
(6) The applicant shall have an opportunity, after all comments in opposition have been
made, to make summary remarks concerning the proposed zoning decision.
(7) Thereafter, the presiding officer shall announce that the public hearing for the
requested zoning decision is closed, and the Mayor and Council or the Planning
Commission, as the case may be, shall immediately and openly discuss the
proposed zoning decision and vote on action which they are authorized to take.
The above rules of conduct for public hearing shall be the policies and procedures of the
City governing the calling and conduct of hearings under the Land Development Code.
Copies of these rules of conduct and policies and procedures shall be available for
distribution to the general public. In any action on a zoning decision and for each
zoning decision there shall be a minimum of 10- minutes time at the hearing for
presentation of data, evidence and opinion by proponents of the zoning decision and an
equal amount of time for presentation by opponents.
It is the intention of the governing body and it is hereby ordained that the provisions of
this Ordinance shall become and be made a part of the code of Ordinance, City of Tybee
Island, Georgia, and the sections of this Ordinance may be renumbered to accomplish
such intention.(Ord. 1999-06; 4/22/99)
(B) Actions Specific to the Planning Commission during a Public Rearing
In all zoning actions in the City of Tybee Island, the Planning Commission is a
recommending body and all final decisions must be made by the Mayor and Council.
However, the Planning Commission has an important role in the public hearing process.
This role is as follows:
(1) All proposed zoning actions shall be reviewed by the Planning Commission in a
public hearing in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 6 (A).
(2) The Planning Commission shall review and consider a recommendation to the Mayor
and Council with respect to the application for a zoning action. The Planning
Commission may decide to make no recommendation or it may make any of the
following recommendations with respect to an application for a zoning action:
approval, denial, deferral, withdrawal without prejudice, reduction of the land
area for which the application is made, change of the zoning district requested,
or imposition of zoning conditions; and,
(3) The Planning Commission shall submit its recommendation on a zoning action
application to the Mayor and Council prior to the scheduled public hearing in
which the Mayor and Council will consider the application for a zoning decision.
If the Planning Commission fails to submit a recommendation prior to the public
hearing, the Planning Commission's recommendation shall be deemed one of
approval.

(1) Before taking action on a proposed amendment and after receipt of the Planning
Commission recommendations and reports thereon, the Mayor and Council shall
hold a public hearing on the proposed amendment at their next scheduled
meeting.
(2) So that the purpose of this zoning ordinance will be served and so that health, public
safety and general welfare will be secured, the Mayor and Council may in its
legislative discretion:
a. Approve or deny the proposed zoning action as submitted,
b. Reduce the land area for which the application is made,
c. Change the zoning district to one other than that requested; or,
d. Add or delete zoning conditions as the Mayor and Council deems
appropriate.
(3) An action to defer a decision on the proposed amendment shall include a specific
meeting date to which the proposed amendment is deferred. The Mayor and
Council may also approve a withdrawal of an application, and if so stipulated by
the Mayor and Council in its decision to approve withdrawal, the twelve (12)
month limitation on re-filing of the application for the same property shall not
apply.
(D) Public Hearings Records Standards
The City Clerk or an agent of the City Clerk shall mechanically record the proceedings
of all zoning public hearings. If requested by any party, verbatim transcripts of the public
hearing can be prepared, but only if requested and purchased in advance by the
requesting party, who must arrange at his expense for a certified court reporter to record
and transcribe the hearing and furnish the original of the transcript to the Mayor and
Council for its records. The record of the public hearing and all evidence (e.g., maps,
drawings, traffic studies, etc.) submitted at the public hearing shall be noted as such and
shall become a permanent part of the particular zoning action's file.

We are pleased to confirm our understanding of the services we are to provide for the City of Tybee Island,
Georgia.
We will examine management's assertion regarding the effectiveness of the internal control over financial
reporting. Our examination will be conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and, accordingly, will include obtaining an
understanding of the internal control, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of the
internal control, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary to enable us to express an
opinion about whether the entity has maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over
financial reporting based on the control criteria. If our opinion is other than unqualified, we will discuss
the reasons with you in advance. It for any reason, we are unable to complete the examination, we will not
issue a report as a result of this engagement.
Because of inherent limitations in any internal control, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and
not be detected. Also, projections of any evaluation of the internal control to future periods are subject to
the risk that the internal control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the
degree of compliance with the controls may deteriorate. However, during the examination, if we become
aware of reportable conditions, which are significant deficiencies in the design or operation of the internal
control, we will communicate them to you in a separate letter.
We understand that you will present your assertion about the effectiveness of the internal control in a
representation letter rather. In addition, at the conclusion of our examination, we will request certain other
written representations from you about the effectiveness of the internal control and related matters. You
are responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control, as well as evaluating the
effectiveness of those controls. We may advise you about appropriate criteria or assist in the development
of the assertion, but the responsibility for the assertion remains with you.
We understand that you will provide us with the basic information required for our examination and that
you are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of that information.
We estimate that our fees for these services will be $5,500 and is based on anticipated cooperation from
your personnel and the assumption that unexpected circumstances will not be encountered during the
examination. If significant additional time is necessary, we will discuss it with you and arrive at a new fee
estimate before we incur the additional costs. Our invoices for these fees will be rendered each month as
work progresses and are payable on presentation.
We appreciate the opportunity to be of service to you and believe this letter accurately summarizes the
significant terms of our engagement. If you have any questions, please let us know. If you agree with the
terms of our engagement as described in this letter, please sign the enclosed copy and return it to us.
