the point and not trucked in from Eden, GA.
Fire Chief Jimmy Brown asked if he should speak about his 2002 budget now or
wait until Council discuses it during open meeting. Parker told Brown to wait.

handicap persons. Cannon answered that 5th, 9th and 11th Streets are complete and that 18
more have been cuts but no completed and that this is a 2002 project.

hearings according to the law.
Arthur Handy of 605 15th Street, PIN 4- 10 -2 -9 requested a variance for
continuance of non - conforming use of his structure in order to enclose a porch on the
backside of his home. The wall will set 8 inches into the setback. O'Brien mentioned
that several public hearings tonight involve closing in of porches or decks and there is not
documentation on the storm water in the packet. Hughes answered that the petitioners
must comply with the ordinances. Pearce said that he believes that this type of request
could be handled administratively. Hughes said that Ms. Hodges is working on this
issue. Levy said the Planning Commission vote 7 in favor of granting and 1 abstained.

Community Director Hodges presented Council with a petition from Harry
Haslam, 19 8th Place, PIN 4 -6 -2 -6 for continue use of non - conforming structure in order
to enclose the 2nd story porch, Butler side, and to remodel the ground floor to make it
livable space. Hodges said this meets the 50% FEMA rule and elevation. Levy said
Planning Commission voted 8 to 0 in favor of the project.
Louis Off of 21 Teresa Lane, PIN 4 -22 -1 -344, petitioned Council for a variance
of the Shore Protection Act in order to construct a dune crossover. Off told Council that
because of some changes with DNR that he must have Council approval before applying
to the DNR. Levy said that the Planning Commission vote 8 to 0 in favor of variance.
Hughes said this is like a revocable license conditioned on area owned by Off.
Community Director Hodges presented a variance for side yard setback,
Diversified Construction Jeff Cramer, 12 9th Street, PIN 4- 6 -3 -16. Hodges said that the
home is currently under construction and this variance would allow access to the 2nd story
from the Butler side of the property. Hodges also stated that she and her staff see no
hardship. Levy said that Planning Commission voted 5 to 2 to deny the request with 1
abstaining.
Mike Ruth presented Council with a petition from Jack & Elizabeth Hall for a
variance to the Shore Protection Act in order to build a dune crossover at #1 10th Court,
PIN 4- 6- 16 -13. The crossover will serve 2 resident duplex. Parker asked what is behind
this duplex. Ruth answered other homes. Parker asked if this crossover will serve all
residents. Ruth answered no, private drive. Hughes asked Ruth how do they access the
beach now. Ruth answered a five -foot path through the dunes. Ruth said that the other
residents on 10 Court will not join in on the cost, the upkeep or the liability. Youmans
said that this sounds just like Myrick on 18th Place. Parker said that if Council approves
this still has to go before the DNR. Hughes said that is correct, they will not entertain
petition until the city acts on it first. Levy said that the Planning Commission voted 7 to
1 in favor, 1 abstained.
Mayor Parker opened the meeting for business legally presented.
Pearce moved to approve the following public hearing zoning petitions: Arthur
Handy, 603 15th Street, PIN 4- 10 -2 -9; Paul and Gail Greene, 501 D Miller Avenue, PIN

there is no problem. Monaghan moved to set a time limit of 60 days. O'Brien seconded.

that a policy statement is needed concerning the contingency fund. GMA recommends 1
to 3 % of a budget. Vote by Council was unanimous.

McLean presented the 2002 budget for its second reading. McLean said that cuts
requested by Council have been completed. Burke and Youmans said that to put off
adoption until new Council takes office in January. Fire Chief Jimmy Brown spoke to
Council on the way the cuts were made to his department and others without any input
from the department heads. Brown said that he would not have known anything about
these cuts unless the Clerk of Council had not called him this morning. O'Brien said we
had a good process but hat it did not occur this year. No total figures were presented to
Council only department heads request. First time Council saw total figures was a month
ago. O'Brien said she raised concern over the 1.8 million increase in General Fund. At
the last meeting 10 or so areas were identified and Council asked that they be gone over
with staff. Youmans said he does not deny that the budget is high and that cuts should be
done but if cuts are needed, at least talk with the department head before they are made.
Cannon said you need an 18 -inch ruler to go over the budget. Cannon said the person
who is to replace Jackie Brown, as Clerk of Council is a decision made by Council and
not Jackie. Cannon said that department heads did not review the cuts — if they got
copies of the revised budget at all. Cannon recommended that Council has several
options. Youmans questioned the clerk training for Claire Price and that Cannon
approved. Canon answered that he only approved the finance training not that of Clerk of
Council, 3 employees have met standard for the state of Georgia. Parker said that
Council should consider adopting budget that was presented November 15, 2001.
O'Brien disagreed and stated that the information is very poor. Burke said that the
adoption should be put off until new Council is in office. O'Brien asked if the fire chief
wanted the money cuts back in his budget? Brown answered that nobody came and
asked what could be cut form the budget, before you adopt this budget should go back to
the department heads for input. O'Brien said that $9,000. was cut from equipment;
1
1
$7,000. cut from salary and pension. Cannon recommended approval of the 5.8 million
budget and to shift $17,000. back into the fire department.

(Sessions, Monaghan, O'Brien and Pearce); 2 opposed (burke and Youmans).
Burke said to deferred action on the operational budget until the new Council and
we should carry over with the present budget. Youmans seconded. Sessions said that
part of this Council responsibility is to adopt a budget and if we do not we will not being
doing the job we were elected to so by the citizens. Sessions said that the budget
adjustments are a learning process for Council. Pearce asked Hughes if the Council was
not required by law to adopt the budget for the upcoming year? Hughes answered that
under the charter, but if not adopted then the present budget would carry over. Voting in
favor of the motion to defer action were Burke and Youmans. Opposing were Sessions,
Monaghan, O'Brien and Pearce.

how much have we paid Saxman to date. Cannon said $750. so far. Monaghan asked if
the questions and concerns been answered or can we do a stop work order? Community
Development Director Hodges said she is satisfied with the discussions and that she met
today with Hughes and the attorney for Clark. Monaghan said that a green space plan
was requested in July, and that if this type is continued to happen and the contractors
comes to the city and ask for forgiveness, across the street is a gated community, and this
is deplorable thing to have happened on Tybee. O'Brien questioned Phase I & II.
Hodges said that she can withhold C.O.'s on I & II if Phase III does not comply with
codes.

bridge on Highway 80: 2. Huc a Poo's live kick ass music is being advertised for this
weekend. Council needs to review the renewal of the license: 3. Citizens Survey — there

the ones that come back in the correct envelope. Cannon said that the deadline for the
surveys is January 1St and that this will be a guide for the following council. Monaghan
said that she would like an update on the speed limit coming on to the island. Parker said

under the budget by $24,808. In addition, we obtained lease financing in the amount of
$95,728 that was also not budgeted as a source of other revenues.
We are seeking approval by the city Council for the individual line item requests in the

Capital Expenditures Budget Request
The Capital spending budget for the year was $889,192 for all departments. Included in
this amount was $605,292 for the new gym. The actual expenditures for the year to date
are $259,091. The capital budget less the gym line item is $283,900
($889,192 - $605,292), accordingly the City is under the budget for the year by $24,808.
Several departments however, are over budget in certain line items that will require
Council approval. The City was able to obtain finance leasing from the Georgia
Municipal Authority (GMA) in the amount of $95,728 for the purchase of cars, trucks
and other equipment. This source of financing was not budget as a revenue line item.
Attached for your review and consideration is a schedule of the capital budget by
department, the actual expenditures for the year and the budget request. Of the $127,881
in the budget request, the police department has obtained $42,102 in GMA lease
financing, the building and inspection department $20,346 and the public works
department $33,280 for a total of $95,728.

REQUEST::.
. That the Mayor and Council approve the. implementation of the_ $450,000 grant from the
State of Georgia for North Beach Renourishment.
•
Tasks to be accomplished are:
•
1. Award a. consulting contract to Erik Olsen for the engineering, permitting an& .
project management for the $450,00 grant from the State of Georgia for North Beach
renourishment at a cost of $25,000.
2. Implement the construction phase of the project at a cost of $200,000
3. Determine how to use the reminder of the funds. For example, the funds could to
be used for the acquisition of a long term beach disposal permit to allow for the
disposal of beach compatible material by the Corps of Engineers — approximately
$200,000.
Staff Recommendation:
I recommend that the Mayor and Council approve: 1) the $25,000 contract for Era Olsen
for the permitting to move the sand; 2) the actual construction contract; and 3)
negotiating a contract with Erik's for the remainder of the funds to meet future permitting
needs. The Tybee Island Beach Task Force has also recommended that funds also be
• budgeted for monitoring the project. See attached memo from Erik for a detailed
description of the work to be accomplished. Please note that $25,000 has already been
spent for a survey of the area.

ORDINANCE NUMBER
AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, CITY OF TYBEE
ISLAND, GEORGIA.
An Ordinance to amend the Code of Ordinances, City of Tybee Island, Georgia, to
provide a new chapter entitled Growth Management Planning and Development, to be numbered
as Chapter Number , to provide for codification, to provide for severability; to
provide for hearings and variances; to repeal conflicting ordinances, to provide an adoption date;
to provide an effective date and for other purposes allowed by law.
WHEREAS, the duly elected governing authority for the City of Tybee Island, Georgia, is
authorized under Article 9, 82,
3 of the Constitution of the State of Georgia to adopt
reasonable ordinances to protect and improve the public health, safety, welfare and aesthetics of
the citizens of the City of Tybee Island, Georgia; and
WHEREAS, the duly elected governing authority of the City of Tybee Island is the Mayor
and Council thereof; and
WHEREAS, the governing authority desires to adopt ordinances and regulations under
their police and home rule powers to regulate development in the City consistently with the
infrastructure and improvements thereto and to effectively manage rapid growth that has recently
occurred on the island; and
WHEREAS, the City of Tybee Island has experienced rapid growth in multi family
development and other development which has placed increased demands on the infrastructure of
the City; and
WHEREAS, the City has taken steps to improve problems with infusion and infiltration
into the waste water treatment system; and
1
1
1
WHEREAS, the City has conducted public hearings relating to issues of development,
infrastructure, waste water treatment and fresh water limitations and usage and other matters
relevant hereto; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, be it and, it is hereby ordained by the Governing Authority of the
City of Tybee Island, that the Code of Ordinances is hereby amended by adding sections to be
identified and numbered in Title 8, Land Development Code, Chapter , Growth
Management Section 1, et. seq., which said section shall read as follows:
81. Findings and Statement of Purpose
The Mayor and Council make the following findings and statement of purpose:
Rapid development has occurred within the City over the past several years increasing
demands and causing excessive burdens upon the infrastructure of the City in connection with
waste water treatment, drainage, city services, water restrictions and there is a compelling _need
for the protection for the health, safety and welfare of the citizens such that appropriate measures
should be taken so as to avoid overtaxing the fresh water supply system available to the city,
overburdening the infrastructure and/or the financial burden associated with the expansions
thereof and in order to prevent a shortage of facilities and in the interest of public health, safety
and welfare, the Mayor and Council find that restrictions on development pursuant to a planned
schedule which will allow the infrastructure and resource availability limitations to be consistent
with development rather than being overburdened thereby and in order to conform to the master
plan previously adopted by the City, it is found as a matter of governmental interest and public
concern that a schedule of development restrictions is appropriate and necessary in order to more
fully plan and control the growth of the City in order to protect the facilities of the City and the
safety, health and welfare of its citizens. The controlled growth concept seeks to tie construction
1
1
on the island to the available land and takes into consideration the need to preserve the island's
environment, the need for City government to plan and pay for necessary maintenance of existing
structure and for their eventual expansion. Therefore, goals are appropriate by establishing a
long range plan for future build out of the island.
82. Controlled Growth.
As used herein, the term permits. shall refer to and mean the authorization to connect to
the city's waste water treatment facilities.
For purposes of this ordinance, a shook -ups means the connection of a structure or
portion thereof to the city's system and in the case of a structure which consists of or contains
separate, divided areas for independent habitation or occupancy, each such area and facility is a
separate hook -up.
There is hereby imposed a permit allocation system. The allocation system will allow
eighty (80) new water sewer hook -ups in each twelve (12) month period for the next ten (10)
years following the adoption hereof. An additional thirty (30) permits for water sewer hook -ups
will be retained for the City Council to withdraw for special projects; however, an applicant may
seek permission to obtain one or more of such hook -ups by petitioning the Mayor and Council;
however, for any such permit to be granted the votes of at least six (6) members of Council are
required.
The eighty (80) permitted hook -ups available on an annual basis will be available on a
first -come first- served basis, however 60% (48) of such hook -ups will be for single - family
residences only and the remaining permitted hook -ups (32) will be for all other uses. Any
permitted hookups not issued in a given year shall not roll over into the next year, but will be
assigned to the deposit bank of the City. Once a permit has been secured it is not transferable or
1
1
1
assignable.
In order to apply for a permit, an applicant must file proposed plans for the intended
construction which would result in the need for the permit(s). That is, preliminary building
plans, site plans and/or subdivision proposals depending upon the character of the intended
project shall accompany the application.
83. Renovations and reconstructions /improvements.
Any construction by way of rehabilitation, reconstruction, refurbishment or improvement
and/or involving the tearing down of an existing structure will not be under or subject to the
eighty (80) hook -up permit limitation provided that no additional hook -ups are required in the
new construction. Additional hook -ups will be subject to all provisions of this Ordinance
84. Time for Commencement.
An applicant or recipient of a hook -up permit has one (1) year to start construction after
being awarded the permit. If the applicant or permit holder does not begin construction within
one (1) year, then the hook -up permit shall expire and be returned to the City's depository bank.
Extensions of six (6) months may be granted by the Mayor and Council upon a finding of
justifiable circumstances as determined by the discretion of the Mayor and Council.
85. Additional Hook-ups
If a permit holder or applicant desires more hook -ups permits than was received in the
first -come, first - served basis, such permit holder or applicant can gain additional hook -up
permits by donating open parcels of green space to the City for green space preservation. The
equivalency of a donation of green space for a hook -up shall be determined on a case -by -case
basis by the Mayor and Council. The hook -up permits issued pursuant to this section would
come from the City's accumulated bank of hook -up permits and not from the annual eighty (80)
1
1
hook -up permits available.
86. Natural Disasters and Destruction.
In the case of the destruction of a structure as the result of a natural disaster, fire, or other
calamity, new hook -up permits may be issued without regard to the provisions of this ordinance
provided that no additional hook -ups are required in the replacement construction.
87. Variance
Where, by reason of unusual circumstances, the strict application of this ordinance would
result in exceptional practical difficulty or undue hardship upon any owner of specific property,
the Mayor and Council in passing upon an application for a variance shall have the power to vary
or modify strict adherence to the terms hereof so as to relieve such difficulty or hardship;
provided however, that such variance, modification or interpretation shall remain in harmony
with the general purpose and intent of this ordinance so that the goals hereof can be achieved and
substantial justice done. In granting any variance, the Mayor and Council may impose such
reasonable and additional stipulations and conditions as will in its judgment thus fulfill the
purposes of this ordinance.
88. Severability
The sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses and phrases of this ordinance are severable,
and if any phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, or section of this ordinance shall be declared
invalid by the valid judgment or decree of any court of competent jurisdiction, such illegalities
shall not effect any of the remaining phrases, clauses, sentences, paragraphs and sections of this
ordinance.
89 - Repealer

All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby expressly repealed.
810 - Adoption/Effective Date
