@ @ITEM 2001 -03 -08 City Council Minutes
Mayor Walter W. Parker called the March 8th, 2001 City Council meting to order
at 7 PM 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 and City manager Tom Cannon were present.
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited after the invocation given by the Reverend
Lee Bennett. Mayor Parker welcomed all the smiling faces and said that there might be a
little confusion concerning the agenda. The Congressional transfer of the Lighthouse will
not be discussed nor is the Historic Districts on the agenda. Hughes stated that he is not
sure how word got out that it was on the agenda but that all the Council did at the
February 22nd special meeting was make a motion that certain issues be addressed, this
will all have to be re- advertised, with a public hearing and all. The property must be
identified and a motion was passed that this will be done by the Historic Preservation
Board. Burke said that names of property owners, Property Identification Numbers,
pictures of places and description of property were missing and as this was not done then
the vote by Council should be null and void. Brown will research the terms before then
next meeting. O'Brien asked that the agenda be amended by moving the action items to
just before the new business, also hear the issue of the Senior Games. Monaghan
seconded. Vote by Council was 4 in favor (Sessions, Monaghan, O'Brien and Pearce); 2
opposed (Burke and Youmans).
The first visitor to address Council was Jenny Orr. Ms. Orr said her concerns were
the parking issues that will affect the merchants in the South Beach area. Ms Orr stat4d
that revenues from 99 were around 975,000 dollars, not too many businesses in Chatham
County make that kind of money. Orr said that she would like to see the parking issue
get special attention like the skate park. Orr suggested that Council consider having a
special meeting. Parker told Ms. Orr that he appreciates where she is coming from and
for her to get her thought together and come to the City Manager. Parker also said that it
would be possible to call a special meeting.
Carl Looper said that Tybee has sponsored the Tybee Senior Games for the past
two years and would like Council to consider granting $500.00 to defray cost.
A lady resident told Council that Tybee has many pets and that Chatham Humane
Society was trying to get a dog park and this would be great for Tybee also. Youmans
said that it was a good idea. A man from the Humane Society said that he would be
happy to work with Tybee. Cannon will get in tough with him.
Mayor Parker opened the following public hearing, asked for comments and
closed each one according to law. Ms. Cathy Moore presented a petition for a Bed and
Breakfast at 21 Officer Row PIN 4- 2- 20 -14. Ms. Moore said the Planning Commission
has approved petition. Ms. Moore gave out information packages to the Council. Ms.
Moore told Council that this house has been used for the rental of 3 apartments and that
this will take it back to single family with 4 guestrooms. The buffer is in place; the
signage will be 3 X 4 with 1 flood light, parking has been done by engineers — proposed
is at the side of the property. O'Brien questioned the parking — photo shows 6 off street —
4 cars facing building, 2 cars on Officers Row. Ms Moore answered that was the old
plan. O'Brien said that there will be no parking on Officers Row at all. Ms. Moore said
that is correct. O'Brien said that there was no site plan in the packet and a different
1
1
parking survey. Ms. Moore stated that there is no change to the existing structure —
current zoning is R -1 but is grand fathered for the existing apartments. O'Brien asked if
all 3 units had kitchens? Ms. Moore answered that the change was done back in the 70's.
Sessions asked if the berm parking was the only option. Ms. Moore answered yes —
without going for a variance. Monaghan asked about the greenspace. Ms. Moore said
that the parking area will be coral rock, we have over an acre and parking is only about
15 %. Monaghan asked Murray McAfee if he had looked into this request. McAfee said
that yes and it is fine. Sessions said this petition states no variance. Hughes answered
correct. Sessions said that this will lower the impact of density. O'Brien said that
Council was just now getting the site plan for parking. Zoning Assistant Sikes said that it
was in the package given out to Council. O'Brien said no it was not. Ms. Moore said
that the plan has been with the Planning Commission for over a month. Don Harris of 40
Officers Row said he is thrilled about the B &B, the restoring of the house, but is
concerned about parking up on the berm. Harris would like to see them park on Officers
Row and go for the variance. Jim Kluttz spoke in favor of the petition, read section 3-
060 stating that there can be no variance, it is a mistake to make them park on the berm.
Ms. Moore said the parking spaces are 9 X 18 — off street. O'Brien questioned the
stormwater management ordinance. Ms. Moore stated that it is not required. Burke said
what they are planning will work. Planning Commission Henry Levy told Council that
this has been before them 3 times now and that the first two failed to get approved. The
vote on this petition was 4 in favor, 2 opposed, 2 abstained.
Jeff Cramer presented Council with a request for a minor subdivision for Barnard
Portman at # 10 9th Street. Cramer said that it is a comer lot with 9,258 square footage in
an R -2 zone. Cramer said that the Planning Commission approved. Pearce asked if this
was subdivision and a variance? Burke asked about the storm surge plan. A short
discussion was held on the lawsuit that was just won. Hughes said that this is not the
same. Youmans said that when a surge does hit Tybee that it would be the entire island.
Hughes told Council that they can take that into consideration. Cramer said that there
was an approved drainage plan. Hughes said this is on a public street the other was a
private drive. Monaghan said that on the application the subdivision and the variance
spaces are checked. Levy said that Cramer moved forward on the subdivision, but that
the Planning Commission did not approve the variance. Vote was unanimous with 1
abstaining. Levy said that it met all the requirements for a minor subdivision. Youmans
asked Cramer if he still wanted the subdivision? Cramer answered yes. O'Brien said that
is subdivision request addresses variance that Council must consider. O'Brien said that
proof of ownership is not here, and some spaces are not checked, final plat for
subdivision, nor the drainage plan. O'Brien asked Cramer if they did a final plat.
Cramer answered yes. Hughes asked if O'Brien meant a Mylar. O'Brien said survey,
site /drainage plan with engineer's stamp. Cramer said that a letter from the City engineer
approving the plan and that the plans have been in City Hall. O'Brien said that she did
not get the information. Levy said they saw the drainage plan. Sessions asked if Council
had the information that verifies what Cramer has done. Cramer again stated that he had
turned everything in to City Hall. Pearce told Cramer that he takes his word for it but it
would be good for the paperwork to get before Council. Sessions questioned the letter
submitted concerning the definition of 20/20 and this information should be placed in
ordinance where other setbacks are addressed. Hughes said that this is in the ordinance
1
1
under definition of yards, buried and staff has missed this several times. Burke said that a
precedent has already been set. Sessions asked that the information in the ordinance be
placed in the correct spot. Earl Shaffer of # 9 9th Street told Council that area has never
flooded and that he is in favor of the minor subdivision.
Paul Jackson presented Council with the petition from James Moye, 145 South
Campbell, PIN 4- 16 -1 -20 for a minor subdivision. Youmans asked if Moye has a storm
surge plan. Jackson answered no. Pearce stated that he has looked at the area and that
there is noting unusual and asked if Moye is aware of the soil and sedimentation from the
State. Jackson answered yes, and there is a letter from DNR in City Hall. Sessions said
she has not seen letter from DNR. Jackson said that H,G,B,& DeY sent the letter to the
City. O'Brien said that several items are blank; present zoning and other things,
drainage /survey, no final plat. Jackson answered that the Planning Commission
requested a drainage plan, which they had at the meeting. Diane Sikes said that the plan
might be in the older folder. O'Brien said that she is disappointed with the lack of
complete information. Lee Hayes told Council he owns end of Horsepen Hammock, use
to be a dirt road, interchange the water between the marshes, it is breaking up now, the
paving is not sufficient. There was only 1 house there up until 3 years ago. Levy said
that the vote by the Planning Commission was 7 in favor, 1 abstained. This request meets
all of the requirements.
Mayor Parker opened the meeting for business legally presented. Chief Jim Price
explained that Rascals and the Pizza King are two separate businesses, using two sets of
books. Under state law in order to be open on Sundays you must derive 50% of your
business from food sales. Price said that there is a door between the two businesses.
Parker asked if was legal as a bar. Price said that Pizza King was open and operating
under the former owners' license, he called Bargeron down there and closed the business
until further notice. Price said that the answer is that one or the other buys the others
business. Monaghan asked who owns the property. Price said Nick Alexander. Burke
asked what if he owned both businesses. Price answered as long as it conforms with the
State of Georgia. Pearce asked who owns what? Price said Hubbard owns Rascals and
Rocky owns the Pizza King now. Hughes sated the kitchen is in the Pizza King. Rocky
told Council he is willing to sell. Burke asked why couldn't the City Marshal and the
Police Chief work out. Youmans said Council could vote contingent upon the Chief and
City Marshal working this out and coming to a solution. O'Brien thanked the Chief for
bringing this to Council attention but also said the letter was dated February 2, 2001.
Sessions asked what is the procedure when something comes addressed to Mayor and
Council. Cannon answered anything he gets addressed to Mayor and Council he makes
copies and distributes. Canon Said this will not happen again. Youmans agrees with
Sessions.
Youmans moved to approve the B & B for Moore at 21 Officers Row. Burke
seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.

for the maintenance. O'Brien questioned Huk -a -poo's live entertainment license.
Cannon said it was issued on January 16th. O'Brien asked who issued. Cannon
answered the City. O'Brien asked Cannon wasn't he aware of the problems? Cannon
read Section 9 -2 -25 Grounds to revoke a license. Parker asked that the police department
monitor the establishment. Youmans said that we had the same problem on the Strand
and nothing was done. Mayor Parker called for a short break at 9:05 P.M. The meeting
was reconvened at 9 :15 P.M.

Cannon presented Council with copies of a Moratorium Briefing dated March 8,
2001. (Copy attached and becomes a part of these minutes). It was noted that we can
add 240 units before the City reaches the 80% mark in order to proceed with the upgrade
of the sewer plant. Burke said that the daily water consumption exceed ground water.
O'Brien said that she called Allan Hallen DNR and asked for his thoughts — did not feel
good about this method — take 5 years, we are in a 3 -year drought now, need to establish
wet water flow. Parker asked O'Brien if she explained our collection system and the
relining of the pipes. O'Brien answered yes, and that is o.k. We need to get data, go
through exercise and understand the blips. Youmans said that we can get rid of H,G,B &
DeY if O'Brien is going to do it we don't need them. Burke said that we should not
interfere and call EPD. Cannon said that he has talked with EPD and pointed out 1. The
effort in improving the aging sewer lines to improve the I & I conditions 2. Engineers
concerns about monitoring equipment and getting the correct data. Bill Lovett said that it
doesn't matter to EPD about projected flow, they want actual data. Sessions said that she
understood that Council could call EPD if they had concerns and then share the answers
with Cannon and Lovett. Youmans said that if Council needs to know about something
then they should call Cannon or the engineers. Cannon said that a chief of staff provides
the best information possible for you to make the best decision possible. Cannon will
prepare an Aid to Construction ordinance, plus review all fees. Cannon said that we will
have artist renderings for all construction. O'Brien asked even single family. Cannon
answered yes. Sessions asked if the artist rendering will be enforceable. Cannon said
that it will be in an ordinance. Parker asked Hughes for legal opinion. Hughes said you
can't do it. As long as it meets all codes, health and safety. McAfee said that we could
get the developers to look at the area in the neighborhood. Monaghan said that this is
good that the City will begin working with the developers.
Pearce moved to adopt Section 2 -3 -30 Personnel Advisory Board on its second
reading to delete the entire section. Youmans seconded. Vote by Council was
unanimous.
Cannon gave Council a written staff report. Cannon announced that the retreat
will be the evening of March 23 and all day March 24th at the Mighty 8th in Pooler.
Council will stay in a motel near by. Cannon said under Charter section 100 -2029 he
must make appointment of a person to act in his stead when he is out of town or can't be
reached. Cannon said that he will appoint 3 employees. First will be Chief Jimmy
Brown, second will be Chief Jim Price and third will be Murray McAfee. Cannon said he
has a proposal for Council to consider from Olsen for a study for the entire island in the
amount of $20,000. Parker said that it can be funded from the $450,000 grant for beach
renourishment. Youmans asked if we were going to have the 2 to 3 years worth of
monitoring? Parker said that is the Beach Management Plan. Sessions moved to
approve the proposal of $20,000 for the study. O'Brien seconded. Vote by Council
was 4 in favor (Sessions, Monaghan, O'Brien and Pearce; 2 opposed (Burke and
Youmans).
O'Brien asked about the Historic Districts first readings. Hughes said each
property must be identified in the ordinance, can not have first reading until ordinance is
in correct form. Because we know the ordinance included property not intended to be
covered, the best course would be for Council to re do the entire process that includes
1
1
advertisements, public hearings with correct form of ordinance, and comments from
citizens.
Pearce moved to go into executive sessions to discuss litigation and personnel.
O'Brien seconded.
The meeting was reconvened. By a unanimous vote Jackie Brown was given a 7-
1/2 % merit raise retroactive to the first pay period in January based on her current salary.
Pearce moved to approve Cannon choices for Jimmy Brown, Jim Price and
Murray McAfee to act in his place when he was not here. Monaghan seconded. Vote by
Council was unanimous.
Youmans moved to adjourn the meeting, as there was no further business to come
before Council

Moratorium Briefing
8 March 2001
1. Reasons for the Moratorium
• To ensure that current growth is not overloading the current or
future capacity of our sewer plant.
• To ensure that our $3,000,000 investment in upgrading our sewer
plant is not too little, too /ate
• To determine if predicted demands on our sewer system won't
exceed current capacity during the 18 months scheduled for the
system upgrade.
• To determine how much time we have before we will either have to
go for an increased daily permit beyond our requested seasonal
permit of 890,000 gallons in the off-season, and 1,115,000 gallons
in the high season.
Z. Sewage Plant Status (page 1)
• See DNR letter from Peter Maye which alerted council to this
problem.
• Mr. Lovett will cover his findings on how permits, sewer capacity,
and DNR expectations of Tybee interact.
• At rate of 10 permits a month, we ESTIMATE that the demand on
the sewage plant will reach the 80% level in both high and low
season in November /December 2002.
3. Aid to Construction Fees (page 2)
• One means by which Tybee will pay for the ADDITIONAL DEMAND
that new construction will create on our entire infrastructure, not
just sewer and water.
• See in your packets section 6 -1 -10 (Tapping /Stubbing
Fees /Meters /Aid to Construction Fees) from our municipal code.
4 Permit Fees; reviews and revisions (page 3)
• City returning to system ofnotificaton of business owners for Fire
Marshall approval at the time we send out Business License
renewals Well renew the license once the Fire Marshall passes
the building.

• Community Development staff is reviewing ALL building permits
and related fees that relate to work we coordinate, perform, or for
consultants we pay. Our fees currently are among the LOWEST in
the region, and pulling them up to a regional AVERAGE will defer
our increased costs in dealing with growth.
• Tnese fees require approval by Council and we are preparing them
for the April meeting.
5, Other accomplishments during current moratorium (pages 4 & 5)
• DPW has completed several in-house storm water drainage projects
on all sections of the island.
• Hussey, Gay, Bell, & DeYoung are now beginning the detailed
planning for the 612 and 7Y' Street outfa/I improvement project
approved by Council during budget meedngs last November.
• Community Development has begun bringing developers to the
table and emphasizing the need for quality development by
increasing the % of landscaping, 'softening "ofbui /ding
appearances, and creating a "sense "of place.
• Community Development, following a windshield survey of the
entire island, will be the central point of contact for env /ronmenta/
quality of life concerns on the island. (See page 4)
• Community Development, in an effort to ensure that all elected
officials are informed, will provide a written response to all elected
officials questions, with information copies to the other elected
officials
• Prepared proposed wording for Artist's Rendering of proposed
construction. (See page 5)
This moratorium provides an opportunity to fully assess the island's construction,
infrastructure, and environmental situation. This assessment provides the city
staff and elected officials with the legal and technical basis for developing policy.
This policy allows for the city to deal with its present circumstances and prepare
for future demands while staying within the city's financial means.

Moratorium Issues
PAGE -1-
Department of Community Development researched building permits issued
from 1991 to present to determine the specific permit uses, such as SF
Residential, Condos, Motels, Commercial, etc. These uses were determined
for each year and Sewage Capacities GPD (gallons per day) were quantified
by Billy Lovette, the City's engineering firm representative.
Mr. Lovette will now present to Council their findings regarding the
wastewater treatment plant monthly flow data, capacities, remaining
available capacity and GDNR discussion regarding seasonal flow and annual
flow along with agreed upon solutions.
Sewer plant upgrade will be more effective for processing equipment and
will be sufficient to carry the City for the next two or three years.
Attached you will find correspondence from GDNR to the City of Tybee
regarding wastewater treatment, sewer connections and development.

RE: Wastewater Treatment Facility
Tybee Island. Chatham County
Dear Mr. Cannon:
We understand that the plans to upgrade the City's wastewater treatment facility have been
delayed due to its desire to finance through the State Revolving Fun (SRF). Although we certainly
understand and support the city's application for SRF funding, we are concerned about the stress
being placed on the existing treatment facility.
During the month of July the average daily flow through the treatment facility was 0.915 mad
or over 91% of the facility's permitted capacity. Since the proposed upgrade will take over a year
to complete , you will be facing another summer season without the improvements in place. To
avoid possible permit violations next summer, it would be prudent for the City to manage future
sewer connections very carefully. With the densification that is taking place on Tybee, exceeding
it's available treatment capacity is a real possibility. This could result in permit violations. something
we all want to avoid.
We ask that you please take this into consideration when approving new development.
S incerely.
