@ @ITEM 2002 -02 -14 City Council Minutes
Mayor Walter Parker called the Special Council meeting to order at 6:30 PM.
with the following members of Council present: James Burke, Jack Youmans, Whitley
Reynolds, Walter Crawford, Jason Buelterman and Richard Barrow. City Attorney
Edward Hughes and City Manager Tom Cannon were present.
Mayor Parker announced that the reason for this meeting is to hold a public
hearing on the Community Block Grant that the city is applying for with Department of
Community Affairs. The city would have to adopt the resolution presented tonight in
order to go forward with the application. The Reverend David Laughner gave the
invocation, which was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
Charlie Waggoner explained that this grant would allow the city to construct a
multi- purpose complex: Senior Citizens /Convention Center /Gym Complex. Waggoner
said that the public hearing notice was in the Savannah Morning News on February 7,
2002 as per the rules of applying for the grant. Waggoner said that funds are needed in
order to do a cost analysis — engineering and architecture — the grants are in the $500,000.
range — most cities in Georgia have received one — low to moderate income. Waggoner
said that we have a good chance. The Federal government says that senior citizens are
classified as low to moderate income. There is a $10,000.00 matching cash requirement.
Youmans asked if this $10,000. will come out of the reserve gym fund account.
Waggoner said he has shown what the preliminary study would be. Youmans said that
there is over $700,000. in the reserve gym account and that the $10,000 could be paid out
of that account and not general fund. Waggoner stated Bazemore said the gym part
would cost the most, not to exceed $3,500, he would bill by the hour and hopefully less
for the study of the gym. Youmans asked then no money out of gym fund? Waggoner
said the city could use that for maintenance. Waggoner told Council that the more money
that Tybee was willing to put up it will mean more leverage. Reynolds asked what else
other than the gym would the grant be used for. Waggoner answered saying Carl
Thompson did the drawing and you can see that all the buildings will be combined; this is
a neat project as you can use a gym for so many different things.
Don Johnson asked if the operation costs would be at the taxpayers expense or
would the city have user fees. Parker said it would be a combination with the antenna
leases revenue paying for the maintenance. Cannon mentioned that it would take about
$133,000 a year in maintenance. Rachel Perkins told Council this would be a tremendous
boost for Tybee. Crawford said he did not think the land and buildings could be used as
equity. Barrow said this is a leg up. Cannon told Council that it is good that the city has
clear title to the property.
Mayor Parker closed the special meeting and opened the regular meeting for
business legally presented.
Rachel Perkins addressed Council on the issue of the resolution for green space
requesting that Council use caution if the city ever decides to sell city land or right of
ways, don't throw out the baby with the bath water.
Sallie Keller addressed Council on two issues: the proposed fence ordinance from
the January meeting and the Historic Districts. Keller explained the historic district by
telling Council the history of how it came about. Keller said proper notice was not given
1

to the resident property owners or to City Hall. Cullen Chambers answered some of
Keller's comments stating that it was all done legally.
John Jarvis asked Cannon about the cable saying his bill went up $3.05 a month
and at the bottom of the bill it says see Cannon. Cannon told Council that Don Johnson
would be delivering the survey report tonight.
Parker asked Don Johnson to give his report. Johnson thanked his committee that
helped him compile the results. Over several years there are a lot of complaints. Johnson
said 2,861 surveys were sent, 665 returned for 23 %, 84% of them were signed. 70% of
the viewers are 41 years or older — more mature viewing audience. Most were concerned
with the costs and the channel selections. Since April 97 the cable has gone up 54 1/2 %.
There are 13 cities in Georgia that run their own cable, 12 of these also provide
electricity. Johnson said the cost for Tybee to start up a cable system would be
prohibited — 6 million dollars at least. Johnson told Council to look at Section 13 of the
original franchise — updated list of complaints and how they were handled.
Recommendation is to look at competitors when the U.S. Cable franchise is expired.
Barrow thanked Mr. Johnson and his committee for all the hard work. Barrow told
Council he purchased a new T.V. and the quality of the cable is not good. Thought
something was wrong with the new set, called the store and was asked where I lived,
answered Tybee, the salesman told me I needed to purchase a satellite.
Mary Ann Parker and the wives of the Council member presented them with a
boutonniere and a barbershop quartet sang a few songs to them. One of the songs was I
Love You Truly.
Larry Wilson was not present to request a name change for his street. Cannon
said that he has spoken with staff and that the Fire Chief said to think long and hard.
Youmans told Council he has painted a sign for North Fifth less than two weeks ago.
Mayor Parker opened, asked for comments and closed the following public
hearings according to the laws and regulations.
Community Developer Director Elizabeth Hodges told Council that the variance
request from Hand/Archer, 1318 Chatham, PIN 4- 11 -3 -6A, got on the January agenda
by mistake and that they would like to have it heard in March. Hughes told Hodges that
it must be re- advertised.
Hodges said Mr. Ratner's petition was heard in December and should not have
been. Ratner said he faxed a letter for postponement. Ratner stated the home is built to
code, but it has no outside stairs. This is a corner lot with the setbacks of 20 — 20. A
large tree will hide the stairs. Hughes said applicant asked for stairs last year by Cramer.
Hodges answered yes, spring of 2001 asked for 10 -foot setback variance on Butler, 6
months later requested variance for stairs. Planning Commission has already denied
petition. And Council denied in December 2001. Hughes said Ratner was not here in
December. Hughes asked Hodges if this was advertised for tonight. Hodges answered no
and she does not know how it got on the agenda for tonight. Ratner said he requested in
October and the Planning Commission denied. Hughes said this must be re- advertised
same as Hand/Archer.
Robert Crowe petitioned Council for a variance for continued use of a non-
conforming structure, 11 T.S. Chu Terrace, PIN 4- 9 -4 -5. Crowe said there is no
encroachment, he applied for a permit for the repair of the roof and the work grew into
renovations. Hodges said staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval.

Tony Ward petitioned Council for a variance for continued use of a non-
conforming structure, 504 13th Street, PIN 4- 7 -3 -6A, explaining that he would like to
add a deck to the front of his home and have the stairs on the side. Parker said he is
confused with the request. Mrs. Ward said so is she, the original plan that was approved
9 years ago had the deck, but they ran out of money. Crawford asked if the original plans
were approved. Ward answered yes, in 92, then we ran out of money. Crawford asked if
there was a time limit once you begin construction. Hughes answered Tybee has no time
limit, but SBCCI does which Tybee incorporates. Crawford asked when Tybee adopted
SBCCI. Hodges said that there is a provision in our codes that state a building permit
time limit is 6 months, if you continue work and request inspections, you can keep going
on the permit. Cannon said Planning commission recommended approval. Hodges said
there is no recommendation from her staff.
Brian Hunter petitioned Council for a variance for continued use of a non-
conforming structure, 714 2nd Avenue, PIN 4- 5- 18 -12, in order to add a closet on the
front of his home, which will not encroach any further into the property setbacks.
Hodges said the Planning Commission and the staff recommend approval.
Brad Baugh petitioned Council for a variance for continued use of a non-
conforming structure, 1702 Chatham Avenue, PIN 4- 8 -15 -1, in order to raise the house
5 feet, which will put him in compliance with FEMA. Hodges stated the Planning
Commission and her staff recommends approval. Sallie Keller spoke in favor of this
request.

Reynolds, Crawford, Buelterman and Barrow); 1 opposed (Youmans).

Amendment was accepted. Vote by Council was unanimous. Parker said that Farmer
has done an outstanding job for Tybee.
Burke move to sell Daniel Street to Tsoulos, with the provision for easement.
Crawford seconded. Youmans asked about the assessed price. Attorney Mahoney said
the land is assessed $1.00 per square foot, so the purchase price would be somewhere
around $10,800. Kathryn Williams said she is not comfortable with amount of money
being offered for the property, Tybee land is a lot more valuable. Mahoney said this is
not a building lot, you cannot put a house on it, there are water oaks growing on the land.

asked if the sign was back to back instead of "v" shaped would that work? Hodges
answered yes he could do that; the rule is not intended for billboards, would need to
reduce the size of the sign. Crawford asked when the permit was issued. Hodges
answered Ma y of 2001, with construction starting in September of 2001. Crawford
asked when was the complaint made to the City. Hodges answered in October, there was
3 poles with cross bars erected but the face was not up yet. Crawford wanted to know
why the stop order was issued. Hodges said it was an invalid permit. Murray McAfee
issued the permit, the request was for a 2 -sided sign but that was not on the plan.
Buelterman asked if there was confusion because of the way the ordinance is written.
Hodges answered no. Crawford moved to let the permit issued be valid. Burke
seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous. Crawford moved to issue a 90 -day
moratorium on the section of the code that concerns this issue and refer it to the
Planning Commission and the Community Development Department for review and
research. Reynolds seconded with an amendment for free standing signs on vacant
lots only. Vote by Council was unanimous.

Strategic Plan for
Long Range Beach Management
Tybee Island, Georgia
February 14, 2002
WHEREAS the Mayor and City Council commissioned a study known as
The Tybee Island, Georgia, Long Range Beach Management
Plan (LRBMP) for-purposes of protecting and preserving the
beaches of Tybee Island, and
WHEREAS the duly appointed Tybee Island Beach Task Force has
reviewed the study, concurs with its findings, and has formulated a
Strategic Plan Suitable for implementation of the LRBMP, now therefore,
The Mayor and City Council do hereby adopt the following implementation
activities for Tybee Island which address beach management issues at the
Federal, State, County and Local levels:
1. Federal Level — The City shall:
• Plan for a seven (7) year maintenance cycle for the federally authorized
Shore Protection Project for Tybee Island, Georgia, by beginning to
prepare for the 2006 renourishment project.
• Continue to work with Congressman Jack Kingston or other appropriate
Congressional representatives to introduce a modification of the Shore
Protection Act by the Water and Energy House Appropriations
Subcommittee necessary to extend the limits of the Federal Shore
Protections Project to include all of the Tybee Island Coastline.
1
• Request concurrent assistance from the Subcommittee sufficient to allow
for Section 206 authorization. This would give the City (or State) authority
to construct future nourishment projects independently of the U. S. Army
Corps of Engineers and to receive reimbursement for the federal cost
share.
• Insist that the Savannah District, USACOE, formally retract the existing
Draft Section 111 Study and seek guidance as to how to proceed with a
technically based, rational and equitable reconnaissance level Section 111
investigation.
2. State Level — The City shall support the efforts of State Representative Burke
Day and the Georgia Shoreline Preservation Coalition to:
• Work to establish a non - lapsing source of funding intended solely for
statewide beach management
• Pass an amendment to Title 52 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated
relating to waters of the state, ports, and watercraft. Such legislation
should mandate the placement of beach quality sand, from the
construction and maintenance of navigation channels of the state, on
adjacent coastal beaches at no cost to local units of government.
• Seek engineering recommendations and funding necessary to clear the
near shore channel directly abutting the North Beach shoreline of Tybee
Island. Shoaling and accretion in the vicinity of the Polk Street point
hinders navigation to Lazaretto Creek, thus harming the shrimping
industry.
3. County Level — The City shall pursue the following agreements with Chatham
County:
• Agree to open negotiations with the City of Tybee Island to establish a
Joint Beach Enterprise Fund (JBEF) in the county's annual budget for
shore and beach protection, renourishment, and other beach - related
management activities to include, but not limited to police and lifeguard
patrol and the cleanup of the beach.
• Agree to allocate the interest on the money belonging to the City of Tybee
Island under the 1998 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST)
for shore and beach nourishment.
