City Manager
City of Tybee Island
P.O. Box 2749
Tybee Island, Georgia 31328
Re: Tybee Island Tourism Analysis
Dear Dr. Gillen,
The City of Tybee Island have requested an update to the Tybee Island Tourism Study
conducted by Armstrong State University in 2015. This study focused on the people visiting
Tybee Island over a one-year timeframe beginning in October 2013 and ending in September
2014. The data from this survey was used to create a visitor profile and assess the economic
impact of visitors to Tybee Island. Since the report was released, it has been used by both the
City of Tybee Island to promote the positive benefits of tourism and to better manage visitor
impacts on community resources.
The updated report will include a similar visitor profile and economic impact analysis. The
visitor profile will consist of standard information for this type of report, including the total
number of visitors, with a breakdown of the number of overnight and day-trips, travelers’
point-of-origin, method of transportation to the area, travel party size, booked
accommodations, number of room nights, length of stay on the island, and length of stay for
the trip. In addition, visitor spending habits will be examined in order to estimate the amount of
spending linked to day-trippers and overnight visitors. Each group of visitors will be asked to
provide their local expenditure during their visit to Tybee Island. This spending data will cover
categories including, but not limited to, lodging, entertainment, shopping/gifts, local transport,
and other expenses.
The final spending data will serve as the starting point for the economic impact analysis that
will cover both the general economic impact of daytime visitors to Tybee Island and a more
focused impact on unique visitors that spend the majority of their visit on Tybee Island. In
addition, the team will seek additional information on extended stay visitors who are visiting
for a longer period of time. Many of these visitors could be benefiting from mobile work
policies implemented by companies and other organizations in response to the COVID-19
pandemic. Together these factors will be used as inputs to show the economic impact of
visitors to Tybee Island. Finally businesses that support the tourism market will be interviewed
- Page 70 -Item #7.
to develop a more holistic picture of the issues facing visitors and the tourism industry on
Tybee Island.
The goal of this research is to estimate the annual economic impact of visitors to Tybee Island.
The Center for Business Analytics and Economic Research (CBAER), a member of the Business
Innovation Group at Georgia Southern University, will work to meet this objective by
completing the steps outlined in the next section.
STATEMENT OF SERVICE TO BE PERFORMED:
Data Collection
• Update the survey instrument created during the Spring of 2020 and develop a data
collection plan.
• Develop a single survey instrument that will be used for both online and face-to-face
travelers.
• Conduct an online survey for four quarters beginning in the third quarter of 2021 and
ending the third quarter of 2022.
• Schedule a minimum of eight data collection weekend events between the Summer of
2021 and the Summer of 2022. Ensure that when the sample is finished, it covers all
four seasons.
• Develop a complete data request for the City of Tybee Island.
• Develop interview questions to be used to discuss visitor impacts with Tybee Island
businesses.
Data Analysis and Economic Impact
• Enter collected surveys into a database and test each round of data collection to ensure
consistency.
• After the initial analysis is complete and all survey data is in a database, estimates will
be generated for the mode of travel, party size, purpose of the trip, length of trip,
spending on the trip, and additional basic demographics.
• Using survey data and the data provided by the City of Tybee Island, an estimate of the
total number of visitors will be generated. This will include a breakdown of both
overnight and daytrips to Tybee Island.
• The information for these estimates will form the basis for the input into the economic
model, IMPLAN.
• Using IMPLAN, estimates will be generated for output, value added, labor income, and
employment. Also included is information on how dollars being spent are moving
- Page 71 -Item #7.
through the economy. Both indirect (business-to-business) and induced (consumer-to-
business) transactions will be included.
Fiscal Impact Analysis
• Work with the City of Tybee Island, the City of Savannah, and Chatham County to
estimate the local tax revenues, property tax collections, public services, and general
fund impacts linked to visitors.
• Compare the City of Tybee Island to other communities in Georgia without a large
tourism industry. Several factors will be used, including but not limited to population,
median household income, unemployment, population density, person per household,
etc.
• Using the selected Georgia communities, compare government expenditures for
services including but not limited to water/sewer, solid waste, police, fire, etc.
• Perform a revenue comparison, focusing on areas included but not limited to parking,
property taxes, LOST, Hotel/Motel, Alcohol, and other revenue sources.
This report will conclude with a final written report that discusses the findings of this analysis. It
will also highlight the value of having a beach, including both economic and non-economic
impacts. Finally, additional research will demonstrate how the beach on Tybee impacts
Chatham County and the State of Georgia.
DELIVERABLES AND TIMEFRAME
The work outlined in this plan will begin when the client reviews and approves this scope of
work document. Once the approval is received in writing, the Georgia Southern University
Research and Service Foundation will create a separate document that will serve as the official
contract governing the research project.
The following timeline will begin after the client reviews and approves this scope of work
document. Exact dates will be set based on the delivery needs the City of Tybee Island, and the
CBAER research calendar.
Phase 1: Data Collection - Online data collection will take place on a quarterly basis beginning in
the third quarter of 2021 and concluding in the third quarter of 2022. Face to Face data

15. Shawn Gillen: DNR Permit for Beach Crossover Benches
- Page 133 -Item #15.
July 1, 2021
Mr. Shawn Gillen
City Manager
PO Box 2749
Tybee Island, GA 31328
Dear Shawn,
Per your request, attached are the following materials for use at the City Council meeting
July 8, 2021:
• Summary of crossover status as of May 31, 2021, though I believe this status is the
same today,
• Georgia Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Standard Permit Conditions for
Dune Crosswalks,
• Instructions for Completing a Georgia Shore Protection Act Permit Application.
The crossovers were built and extended under SPA Permit 460 granted April 11, 2018, SPA
Permit 473 granted December 4, 2019, and Letter of Permission granted November 6,
2021. According to DNR guidelines, no structures other than approved crossovers are
allowed within DNR jurisdiction.
The City’s crossover benches, swings, and pavilions are not permitted nor authorized by
the DNR. They are allowed to remain until such time as they are rebuilt or need major
modification for maintenance. Accordingly, and at the direction of the DNR, new
crossovers were built at 18th Street, Center Street, and 2nd Street without benches. In the
case of seven existing crossovers: 13th, 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th, 7th, and 6th Streets, the seaward
end of the crossover had to be removed in order to raise and extend them over the dunes.
In these instances, the benches were removed in accordance with DNR requirements.
The City may seek a SPA Permit to obtain authorization to maintain the existing
unauthorized structures: benches, swings, and pavilions and replace those recently
removed. However, the DNR guidelines for dune crossovers, meant exclusively for ingress
and egress for the beach, is a long-standing policy applied across all DNR jurisdictions in
the State, meant to protect turtle nesting habitat and limit potential damage during storms.
According to the DNR instructions, a survey and engineering drawings of all existing and
proposed structures would need to be submitted.

I will attend the Council meeting on July 8th and would be pleased to assist in any way.
Best regards,

Planning Commission Meeting
MINUTES
June 21, 2021
Chair Bishop called the June 21, 2021 Tybee Island Planning Commission meeting to order. Commissioners
present were Marie Gooding, Susan Hill, Elaine T. McGruder, David McNaughton and J. Whitley Reynolds.
Vice Chair Ron Bossick was absent.
Consideration of Minutes:
Chair Demery Bishop asked for consideration of the May 17, 2021 meeting minutes. J. Whitley Reynolds made
a motion to approve. Elaine T. McGruder seconded. The vote to approve was unanimous.
Disclosures/Recusals:
Chair Bishop asked if there were any Disclosures or Recusals. There were none.
Old Business:
VARIANCE: build second set of stairs in setback after addition and reduce greenspace – 1209 Butler Ave.–
40007 07008–Zone R-2–Jeff Cramer.
George Shaw stated the applicant would like to add a second floor to the one story home. In doing so they would
like to put the stairs from that second floor in the setback. There is room within the confines of the setback to add a
second set of stairs. As this is an addition to an existing home, staff sees no hardship and cannot recommend
approval. Jeff Cramer who lives at 11 Jones Avenue, Tybee Island and is the architect for the applicant
approached the Planning Commission and stated the applicant is asking to put the second set of stairs in the
setback to allow more room. Based on the Tybee code the zoning administrator can approve the second set of stair
for an existing or future elevated home. And theirs will be elevated. The home no longer fits the applicant’s needs
and they are going to make it their permanent residence and have their mother in law living with them. David
McNaughton asked if they considered putting the stairs in the area of the garage instead of the setback. Jeff
Cramer stated they looked at some options and it took up too much area of porch, storage and parking. Susan Hill
asked Jeff Cramer if he thinks elevated means lifted up on piers. Jeff Cramer stated this house is above flood so
the bottom is legal. Elaine McGruder stated just because you are adding a second story doesn’t mean that the
house itself is being elevated. Jeff Cramer stated he won’t be lifting the home itself but he thinks that means the
same thing. Mike Wilson the owner of 1209 Butler approached the Planning Commission and stated they are
wanting to have enough room to retire and I will be him his wife and mother in law, and they wanted storage space
and parking. We are also scared that putting the stairs in the porch would be a falling hazard. David McNaughton
made a motion to deny. Elaine T. McGruder seconded. Voting in favor were Marie Gooding, Elaine T. McGruder,
David McNaughton and Susan Hill. Voting against was J. Whitley Reynolds. Motion passed 4-1.
- Page 147 -Item #17.
SITE PLAN APPROVAL: Add walk in cooler & renovate deck-106 S. Campbell Ave.–40003 04006–Zone
C-2-Ricardo A. Ochoa.
George Shaw stated the applicant would like to add a walk in cooler and redo their deck and a small back deck for
employees. They have also updated their sight plan with what was asked for from last month’s Planning
Commission meeting. This is a significant improvement to the site. Kevin Rose, who lives at 311 Maupas,
Savannah approached the Planning Commission and stated he is the Architect for the applicant and this is needed
for the restaurant to store more food. And the small deck in the back is a safety deck for the employees to go back
and forth to the cooler. J. Whitley Reynolds made a motion to approve. Marie Gooding seconded. The vote to
approve was unanimous.
Discussions: STVR software and registration report from Staff
George Shaw stated he was asked by David McNaughton to bring a report on STVR software and registration.
He stated code enforcement will be going through the noncompliant properties that the software system (Host)
identified. We had some problems with the software at the start and now we have it working well. Demery Bishop
asked where City Council is on the recommendations from the STVR working group task force. George Shaw
stated they are still working on some of the recommendations. David McNaughton stated is the investment worth
the return. George Shaw stated that is not for him to decide. Demery Bishop stated City Council should revisit
the working group’s recommendation for annual safety inspections for all STVR properties to protect the visitors.
Adjournment: 8:00pm
