@ @ITEM 2002 -05 -09 City Council Minutes
Mayor Pro Tem Walter Crawford called the meeting to order at about 7:10 P.M.
The following members of Council were present: James Burke, Jack Youmans, Whitley
Reynolds, Jason Buelterman and Richard Barrow. Crawford read a letter to all from
Mayor Parker stating that he was meeting with key personnel in Washington, D.C. on the
beach renourishment issues. Interim City Manager Jimmy Brown and City Attorney
Edward Hughes were also present.
Deacon Eddie Akins gave the invocation, which was followed by the Pledge of
Allegiance. Bob Thomson the new City Manager was introduced. Crawford said that the
Mayor and the Council selected Bob Thomson.
Walter Crawford asked that he be allowed to address the public on a personal
matter. Crawford said that the Savannah Morning News quoted directly as I spoke to
them and he publicly apologizes to all the citizens of Tybee Island. Crawford told the
audience that his mother told him that if he ever did it again that she would wash his
mouth out with soap and he does not doubt that she would.
Carolyn Jones addressed Council on the Jaycee Park Playground asking that
Council set aside $50,000 by Resolution in case the funds are needed. Jones said that the
entire cost would be $75,000 but that she plans on getting funds donated and a lot of
volunteers to help bring this together. Barrow asked if you plan to raise the funds you
still would want Tybee to set aside the money. Jones answered yes. Jones explained that
Savannah has a lot of industry and that she plans on getting donations from them and that
if she get enough money from donors then she would not need the Tybee funds. Jones
said Jaycee Park is a perfect place for this type of playground equipment.
Mary Ingalls could not appear tonight and Council directed Interim City Manager
Brown to talk with Ingalls about the legal aspects.
Soozie Moore gave Council a summary of all the programs being offered by the
YMCA.
George and Mary Chandler spoke to Council on the float stand and surf boarding
issues. Chandler said that in January he gave the City a check for $900.00 for the three
spaces that he rents his floats from every year. He said that the check cleared the bank.
Chandler told Council that one of his location is not printed out in the ordinance, 18th
Street. Chandler showed Council the body board that he rents out from his stands; he
also stated that surfboards have never been allowed to be rented off the beach. At 18th
Street there are jetties and also no lifeguard on duty. Crawford told Chandler that he was
good for 2002. Hughes said Chandler had already paid for his float stand locations
before Council froze issuing any more during their January meeting. And he will not be
affected by the ordinance this year. Youmans asked Hughes if the 18th Street location
could be added to the ordinance tonight when it comes before Council for a vote.
Attorney Tom Devaney spoke for Dr Owen about the application for renting
surfboards on the beach at 17 Street. Chandler said that it would interfere with his
business. Devaney said that he believes that surfboards are part of the ordinance on
beach rental equipment, this is something new for Tybee and the boards would be rented
by the day or by the hour. Owens said he plans to have instructors on duty. Buelterman
asked if there was an age limit. Owens answered that if not old enough then the Dad
1
1
would be with them. Buelterman asked if 17a' Street area was open. Chandler said he
has a license for that spot. Devaney told Council that the ordinance does not state one
license per location. Hughes explained the old one does not but the new one does not,
and the ordinance does not deal with surfboards. Devaney said the ordinance does not
exclude either. Crawford said this issue will be taken up in open session.
Jim Stoeffler requested Council to consider the request from the Beach Task
Force, review the proposal and send a letter to the BTF with a decision from Council
concerning the delineation line. Crawford said this would come back to Council with the
costs involved before accepting. Youmans said it now goes house by house. Stoeffler
said really tree -to -tree or house before 1970. We need to establish line today and get the
control back to the City — mark it permanently. Barrow asked if Olsen was available to do
this for the City. Stoeffler answered he or someone else. Buelterman asked if this would
wrap around the north beach. Stoeffler said all beaches will be included.
Alice Martin addressed Council on many issues. The first is that the flag needs to be
repaired. She congratulated Richard Barrow on being named "Businessman of the Year ".
Martin told Council she read the paper where Tybee is paying consultants, but she has
never seen any advertisements for this contract work. Martin asked how are people
selected. Martin said that it sounds like Tybee is going to get a one -half million - dollar
grant for the senior citizens complex. Martin said she writes grants for the City of
Savannah and it is very difficult to qualify. D.C.A. does have some small grants
available. Martin informed Council that R.D.C. has a planner who works for us and they
will help find grants and will also write them for you. Martin volunteered to help out.
Martin told Council that the City gives space to the Arts Association for their meetings,
but when they start to collect fees then the City should charge them. Martin said the
playground concept is a great idea but there are a lot of regulations that must be met.
Crawford explained the concept of the Green space Resolution; it is the City's
intent to sell off at fair market value small pieces and strips of property that the City
owns. Each piece must come before Council. No buildable lots. There must be a
certified appraisal at the cost to the person applying and the money from the sale will go
into a specific line item — green space fund — used only to acquire larger pieces of land
for green space or eco- tourism. No strips of land that provide access to view scapes will
be considered for sale. No city officer, Mayor and Council, can apply under this
program. John Hunter submitted a letter of proposal to purchase the unopened area
known as Lovell behind the Hunter House. Roy Johnson said he thought you said that
people could not build on purchased land. None are stand alone building lots. Rachel
Perkins said the City needs to identify the areas of concern — there is a 97 report. In
reference to Hunter the green space is already owned by the City, the citizens value the
property more than an appraiser. Please do not rush this project. Crawford said Hunter's
request is for 30' by 120'. June Johnson says it states 60'. Crawford said only 30' to
adjacent property owners. Jim Kluttz asked if the city sells right -a -way what is the status
of the individual if they sell, will the property be listed on deed. Hughes said not
necessarily, maps deals with right -of -ways, not like a subdivision. Hughes explained that
there are provisions that deal with unopened rights -of -ways to adjacent property owners
and each will have to be looked at individually. Public Works and the Water sewer
departments will need to look into the infrastructure. Hughes said all that can be done
tonight is to agree to look at or either deny. Kluttz asked what is the process? Crawford
1
1
said that the City makes it public knowledge, keeps everything in the open — people
expressing interest in purchasing property. Hughes said that surveys during the years
have caused some of the narrow parcels of land in some area. Buelterman stated that the
intent is good and should be carried out correctly. Hughes said only the abutting owners
can purchase the property, all the City can do is quit claim deeds. The following citizens
showed interest in purchasing property adjacent to their property: Brooks Haymens —
unopened portion of Laurel Avenue — 30 feet; Lawanna & D Tsoulos — portion of Estill
Avenue — 30 by 50 feet; Jim & Mary McCusker — unopened portion of Rosewood —
would help create a lot 150 by 45 feet; E. Carter — unopened portion of Estill Avenue.
Crawford announced that the Beach Bum Parade is on May 24th and that the City
will have a holiday on May 27th for Memorial Day.
Rick Hurst said that he has pride in Tybee Island. Hurst told Council that an
official inquiry should be undertaken to look into all contracts in the last 10 years —
contracts in reference to City officials and employees. Hurst said immediate steps should
be taken to have new language in the code of ethics ordinance strictly prohibited the
Mayor and Council and any city employee to do work for the City. Lou Hurst expressed
the same concerns. Crawford said for the record that it was a combination of jobs that he
was paid $541, not one single job. Crawford also stated these types of little jobs would
not have been put out for bids. Youmans told the citizens he has been doing sign work
for the City for over 20 years and he had been paid $1,300 in 2001, this work would have
cost at least $4,000 to $5,000. Youmans said there is a letter on file stating that he will
continue to work for the City. Hughes said this does not mean any crime has been
committed. A small community like Tybee Island uses resources available to them.
Hurst asked why Youmans would discourage bids. Youmans answered that he will
accept any body to bid against him for the sign work. Lou Hurst said that a policy needs
to be enacted. Buelterman said no ill intent by Crawford, he knew it happened and yes
we do need a policy. Barrow said unfortunately we are politicians and we are having a
bad rap and this issue should be addressed. Crawford asked that this be placed on the
June Agenda.
Mayor Pro Tem Crawford opened, asked for comments and closed the following
public hearings according to law. Dick Smith, Chairman of the Planning Commission
presented the petitions to Council.
Site plan approval for Barrett Oil Co. for addition to existing structure located at
1315 Butler Avenue — PIN 4 -716 -1. Smith said the Planning Commission voted
unanimously to approve.
A side yard setback variance request Mrs. Volk for a storage shed at 708 2°d
Avenue — PIN 4- 5- 18 -19. Planning Commission vote was 7 in favor to approve and 1 to
deny.
A variance request for continued use of a non - conforming structure for addition
of a deck and also repairing the existing deck from Mr. Crowe at 11 T.S.Chu Terrace
— PIN 4- 9 -4 -5. Vote by the Planning commission was unanimous.
A zoning text amendment to section 8 -3 -070 (A) Addition Structure allowing
more than one building on a commercial lot was presented. Smith said the Planning
Commission voted 6 in favor and 2 opposed. Rachel Perkins said she is a little confused.
The petitioner usually presents their request to the Council for consideration. Hughes
answered that traditionally the petitioners usually does present but this is alright as long
1
1
as everyone has a chance to address the request. Smith told Perkins that this is the 3rd
Council meeting conducted this way. Perkins said this is her first Council meeting this
year. Crawford said this way there is less said.
Smith presented the Site Plan from Tommy Clark for 36 condominium units at
404 Butler Avenue - PIN 4- 4 -20 -1. The Planning commission voted 5 in favor to
approve and 3 against. Smith said that this request came with a height variance also, but
Clark withdrew that request. Smith told Council that the engineers have reviewed and
approved the plan. Tom Olsen said that there will be only 33 condo units and they will
stay within the height limit, these condos will be replacing the existing Econo Lodge.
Pam O'Brien spoke of her concerns and asked Council to table any consideration at this
time. O'Brien gave the history of Phase I and Phase II. Attorney Mahoney said for the
better part of 2 years there has been weekly meetings and that the City has received
documents that the former Council and the former City Manager requested from Mr.
Clark. All issues have been addressed and approved. Buelterman asked if all the issues
have been addressed, green space, paring shortfall, etc. Barrow asked if the staff had
looked over the problems? Smith answered everything that O'Brien addressed was
discussed, there is a multi -page document in the zoning office, the parking short fall will
be during construction only. Buelterman asked about the top of the roof and what was
proposed for that area. Clark told Council he withdrew that portion of the plan.
After a short break Mayor Pro Tem Crawford opened the meeting for business
legally presented.
Reynolds moved to approve the consent agenda. Minutes of the April 11th
Council Meeting; Alcohol Beverage renewals — American Legion, - Kendrick;
Dolphin Watch Ship Shore - Wolff & Davis; George's Restaurant — Jackson;
Captain Chris's — Simon; Sugar Shack — Gross. Buelterman seconded. Youmans
moved to amend the beach equipment ordinance with the addition of the 18th Street
location. Reynolds accepted the amendment. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Buelterman moved to accept the $6,500 bid from Smith Heating and Air for
the Teen Center on Cedarwood. Youmans seconded. Reynolds questioned where the
funds would be taken from to pay. Youmans moved to amend the motion with the
addition of taking the funds from the contingencies fund. Youmans said an electrician
should check out the wiring to make sure it is up to code and asked what the estimate
would be to correct any violations. Crawford answered a good figure would be between
$1,000 to $1,500. Youmans moved to amend by adding up to $1,500 for electrical work.
Buelterman accepted this as an amendment to the main motion. Funds to come from
contingencies. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Barrow moved to table the resolution for the Jaycee Park playground
equipment until the new City Manager is on board. Youmans seconded. Interim City
Manger Jimmy Brown said to make sure that everything is in writing before any decision
by Council. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Buelterman moved to adopt Section 6 -1 -10 Tapping/stubbing fees, meters, Aid
to Construction on its first reading relating to the tap and stub fees only. Burke
suggested we not go ahead with the elimination of 2 bedroom cap for aid -to- construction
and instead proceed with the $100 per square foot suggestion. Buelterman agreed and
stated that a second water sewer committee meeting be held to come up with a specific
1
1
proposal to prepare an ordinance change, which would then be ready for a first reading at
the June 13th meeting. Burke seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Youmans moved to approve an agreement in reference to MRS so that they can
progress with the building. Burke seconded. Vote by council was unanimous.
Burke moved to approve the site plan for Barrett Oil. Buelterman seconded.
Vote by Council was unanimous.
Burke moved to approve the side yard setback for a storage shed for Volk.
Youmans seconded. Vote by Council was 5 voting in favor (Burke, Youmans,
Crawford, Buelterman and Barrow); 1 abstained (Reynolds).
Burke moved to approve a setback variance for Crowe for the addition of a new
deck and repairing an existing deck. Youmans seconded. Vote by Council was 5 voting
in favor (Burke, Youmans, Crawford, Buelterman and Barrow); 1 abstained (Reynolds).
Youmans moved to adopt the zoning text amendment on Section 8- 3- 070(A)
Additional Structure in C -1 District in the Land Development Code on its first
reading. Burke seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Youmans moved to approve the site plan for a 33 unit condo at 404 Butler
Avenue for Clark. Burke seconded. Barrow asked Hughes if everything was legal.
Hughes answered that it is his understanding. Buelterman said that staff will monitor
the construction. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Burke moved to accept John Hunter's proposal for the purchase of a portion of
Lovell Avenue behind the Hunter House. Youmans seconded. Hughes said the City can
offer unopened right -of -ways to the abutting property owners and that the Council must
decided if they are interested in doing so. Hughes said the Public Work Department and
the Water Sewer Department need to check for any infrastructure on the property.
Youmans asked who does what if approved? Hughes said the petitioner — some request
might have to be handled differently. Youmans motions that the City is interested.
Crawford stated that a property owner make a petition to Council, then Council decides if
they are interested or not, then the petition would work with City Attorney and then it
would come back before Council. Reynolds said a lot of details need to be worked out.
Buelterman said this would be a vote only to show interest. Hughes said no vote on
commitment. Buelterman moved that the City Council show interest in selling certain
property under the green space resolution. Youmans seconded. Vote by Council was
unanimous. Crawford said that it could possibly come back to Council the following
month. Jim McCusker told Council that is not soon enough and he is lodging a complaint
— it needs to move smoother. Crawford agrees but now we have apple to oranges on the
table and that the square footage requirement for R -1 are being considered. Barrow said
we are looking for ways to speed up process. Buelterman asked if Hughes does all the
work for the petitioner who pays Hughes fee. Crawford said any and all cost would be
paid by the petitioner. Hughes advises that petitioner get their own legal counsel because
it would not be good for me to bill the citizens.
Buelterman moved to table any decision on request for surfboard rentals from
Dr. Owens. Reynolds seconded. Tom Devaney told Council to enforce the section about
certified lifeguard on Mr. Chandler and revoke his license. Vote by Council was 5 in
favor (Youmans, Reynolds, Crawford, Buelterman and Barrow); Burke abstained.
A letter will be written and sent to Paul Burns requesting that he appear at the
June 13th Council meeting to discuss the alcohol beverage license for Bubba Gumbo's.

Brown told Council that the estimated cost for Orange Crush is between $15,000
to $20,000 dollars so far. Youmans questioned the arrests that were made by the Police.
Brown answered that information is in your boxes from the Chief.
Brown gave Council information on contract with Freda Rutherford stating it was
signed and dated August 15, 2001 and runs through June 30, 2002. Burke moved to
terminate the contract with Freda Rutherford immediately. Youmans seconded.
Crawford said he was appointed to replace Bill Farmer at the Stakeholders meetings on
Harbor Deepening and the Council rep to the Beach task Force. Crawford said he
understood that it was volunteer work and was not aware of a contract. Youmans asked
if it was in the budget. Hughes explained that Rutherford has been securing
documentation for the north beach enhancement project. Crawford said 2 citizens are
holding out. June Johnson informed Council that all had signed and it was faxed today.
She said Rutherford spent 200 hours getting it ready. Barrow asked if anybody from the
Task Force could handle? Johnson said there are 16 different projects in the matrix and
Rutherford is the point person, she works closely with Burke Day. Barrow said that since
the contract runs out the end of June just let it go on until then.. Vote on the main motion
was 2 in favor (Burke and Youmans); 4 opposed (Reynolds, Crawford, Buelterman and
Barrow). Barrow moved to let the contract run out with written notice to Rutherford.
Buelterman seconded. Vote by Council was 5 in favor (Youmans, Reynolds, Crawford,
Buelterman and Barrow); 1 opposed (Burke).
Youmans moved to approve Section 9 -1 -20 Sales on Streets, Strand, Beach or
Park Prohibited on its first reading. Buelterman seconded. Vote by council was
unanimous.
Brown said the 2001 audit is in a mess and nowhere near complete. About 18th
months ago the controls were removed. Brown presented a proposal from our auditors to
hire them to straighten it out. The cost would be $95.00 an hour and probably take at
least 6 hours per month back to February of 2001 up to the present. Youmans said it
must be done, but he wants the persons name in the paper who removed the controls.
Brown said that the auditors do not suspect anything missing, just in the wrong places.
Barrow moved to accept the proposal. Youmans seconded. Vote by council was
unanimous.
Brown explained the request for a full time police officer position. A Corporal
has requested part time work and wrote a letter stating that if she decides to come back
full time she is aware that the City might not have that position open.
1
Buelterman moved to approve the contract for the rental of the Lifeguard
station in the amount of $505.00 per month. Barrow seconded. Vote by Council was
unanimous.
Brown said that the Park of the Seven Flags stated out with just a water font that
was donated being erected and the City would allot $5,000. towards this project A
meeting was held with representatives from GA DOT, GA Power, U.S. Cable and City
personnel. There is no cost breakdown anywhere and the project is now up to $300,000.
No donated funds have been collected and we have no idea of how much it would costs
the City. Pye said the area was 25 by 25 and that it has tripled. Barrow said that this is a
total shock; he was told everything was fine at last meeting. Brown said $170,000 from
the State — projected cost is $300,000 — where is $130,000 coming from? Brown told
Council that nothing has been signed to commit the City, and that there is another
meeting in 30 days. Youmans told Council to keep their eyes wide open as Parker has
signed many contracts with out Council approval.
Barrow asked who is in charge of the project. Youmans answered Charlie Waggoner.
Buelterman answered Henry Levy. Youmans said it was a joint venture. Billy Remeta
said that this started slowly and grew and grew, do we really need it — we will be losing
parking spaces — there is no shade — and will it help the business people?
Buelterman asked about the baby pool out in the park beside the basketball
court that was discussed last meeting. Brown said Tiffany Dennis and Billy Pye are
working on it. Brown said he would get a note to Pye to get with Buelterman.
Youmans moved that since Jimmy Brown has done such an outstanding job for
the City that he would like to recommend a 40 hour paid vacation. Buelterman
seconded. Vote by Council was unanimous.
Burke moved to go into executive session to discuss personnel and litigation.
Youmans seconded. Vote was unanimous.
Reynolds moved to reconvene the regular session. Youmans seconded.
As there was no further business to come before Council the meeting was
adjourned

Future Shore Front Development Limits
In order to identify the parameters for future building, on the beach front, I am suggesting that
the following steps be taken by the Beach Task Force with subsequent recommendations to
Tybee City Council for funding and implementation .
1. A complete survey of all beach front base lines. This will establish the patterns for all future
beach re- nourishment.
A. This base line will establish, on a permanent basis, the landward and seaward limits
for future re- nourishment and further establish a reference point to be used in establishing the
DNR limits of jurisdiction. This should be coordinated with the DNR and the Corp. of
Engineers utilizing any information currently completed.
2. Upon completion of item # 1 a joint conference with the DNR to negotiate their jurisdictional
lines. It is recommer}ded that this conference be held between the City of Tybee and the
DNR. We would recbmrnend that Erick Olsen, as a representative of the City of Tybee,
rather than individuals establish these lines on a permanent basis. It is suggested that when
these lines are identified that they be permanently marked.
A. This would allow the city to control the building of structures and take the arbitrary
establishment of building lines out of the picture.
B. As part of the negotiations the. City of Tybee would agree to pass ordinances which
would preclude the construction of any buildings seaward of the DNR lines in perpetuity.
This should remove the question of building do accreted land seaward of the base line.
Further it is suggested that the DNR accept the lines which are established as permanent and
should a storm erode the beach landward of the DNR lines then the City of Tybee or its
representatives would have the right to re- nourish that portion of the beach thereby protecting
the land owners from the loss of their property.
3. In order to begin the implementation of this recommendation I am requesting that the BTF
discuss this proposal and reach a consensus so that a proposal can be submitted to the City
Council to establish if they will support our recommendations before any further work is
done.
