COMMUNITY CHARACTER : Ft: Screven Historic District
PLICATION: Appeal of actions Sec. 7-100 regarding mitigation of trees removed without a permit.
PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting that the tree mitigation requirement be waived due to the number of
remaining trees on the lot.
ANALYSIS: The applicant removed ten trees without a permit. Six of these trees were on the significant tree list
and two of them were located in the marsh. Since no permit was applied for or issued the City arborist had no
opportunity to observe the trees before they were removed. The pine trees would most likely have been approved
for removal as they are not significant trees. If indeed the one palm was dead it also would have been approved for
removal. The oak that was allegedly causing damage to the 14VAC stand may also have been approved for removal
depending on the extent of the damage and/or prediction of continuing damage. Under no circumstances would
healthy red cedars in the marsh or other significant trees have been approved for removal.
The Comprehensive Plan describes the Ft. Screven HistoricDistrict as follows:
The Fort Screven Historic District includes Officers Row and all of Ft. Screven, which represents
significant historic, cultural and natural resources. Varied uses include new, larger scale development,
traditional cottages, townhoes/condominiums, public uses/parks, historic sites, narrow streets, street
trees, public parking. Zoning includes ®1, R-2, -T R-1/NEC P -C, and PUD.

Planning commission tr i iga i appeal -- submitted t George a
Name- Jay schmetz
Subject- Appeal of tree mitigation
Issue -10 trees were removed from my property. Now the Court is wanting a tree mitigation done.
Explanation.
-3 dead trees removed. The trees had no bark or leaves and looked like driftwood sticking out of the
ground.
-1 dead palm tree sticking 25 ft out of the ground with no top on it was removed. I assumed this was a
dead tree as the top was completely off. We did not cut it off. It was off and that's why it was removed.
-3 pines were removed tall pines present a risk.
-There was a large tree leaning on my air conditioning platform that was removed
-I had hired a company to remove three of these trees. (The dead palm, one of the pines, and the tree
leaning on the hvac platform). But the company cut down 5 trees. two of them were not approved by
me yet I am being held accountable for someone else's actions.
-1 removed two cedars as the area was like a forest and my son had come in close contact with a snake
which prompted me to want to thin out the area. and the whole back yard was like an untamed forest. I
considered most of these trees to present a danger to either my property or to any persons of whom
they could possibly fall on.
Appeal. I Do not feel like I should have to replace any of the trees. Currently my property has well over
30 trees and more than meets the ordinance for the size of my property as to how many trees I a
supposed to have on the property. I have more trees on my property then the other three houses on my
side of the block combined.

See 5-080. - Site plan approval.
The site plan approval process is intended to provide the general public, planning commission, and mayor and
council with information pertinent to how a new development will affect the surrounding area and the city as a
whole and to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations and considerations as hereinafter stated, Where
a variance, special review, or any other land development activity is involved in connection with a site plan, the
standards applicable to the variance, special review, and/or land development activity applied for shall apply.
(A) Process. Upon submittal of the site plan, the designated city official will review the site plan or noticeable
discrepancies and determine if there is a need to apply for other zoning actions. The site plan is then
forwarded to the city's consulting engineer. Once the engineer has submitted comments to the designated
city official, a public hearing before the planning commission shall be scheduled. The public hearing shall
be held regardless of whether the site plan meets the requirements of this Land Development Code. Until
the applicant addresses all of the engineer's comments and the site plan is satisfactory, the mayor and
council will not consider the plan. In addition to all other requirements, any applicant for a site plan must
identify all prior site plan applications made by the applicant, any affiliates/relatives, corporate or business
entities in which the applicant has had an interest for the property which is the subject matter of the current
application. The applicant must identify any parking meters proposed to be eliminated from city rights-of-
way by the proposed site plan implementation. The applicant must demonstrate compliance with all other
applicable ordinances including but not limited to stormwater, flood damage prevention, and buffering. In
considering a site plan, the mayor and council may consider whether the proposed development will be
unreasonably detrimental to adjacent or nearby uses and whether the proposed development will adversely
pact existing conditions in the overall neighborhood, including but not limited to:
(1) The impact or lack thereof on available resources and utilities.
(2) Whether the proposed development is of a scale and mass so as to be compatible with the character of the
neighborhood.
(3) Whether the proposed development is consistent with the character area under the master plan.
(4) Density considerations for the neighborhood including demands on infrastructure, traffic, and other relevant
factors. In considering a site plan, the mayor and council may approve or deny the application as submitted,
or add or delete conditions appropriate to protecting the interest of the applicant as well as those of nearby
properties. Buffering requirements beyond those expressly identified may also be imposed. If conditions are
added or deleted the applicant must subsequently submit a revised plan of the proposed development to the
designated city official and all such conditions that had been added or deleted must be accepted by the city's
consulting engineer. If all of the foregoing requirements have been satisfied and further if the mayor and
council find that the benefits of and need for the proposed use and project are greater than any possible
depreciating effects and damages to the neighboring properties, the application may be granted.
(B) Other zoning actions. Because special review, variances and map amendments require site plans, site plan
review may be the first step in the permitting process, however, the site plan should identify any other
zoning actions necessary in order for the intended development to be constructed so that a public hearing
can be held on all such zoning actions simultaneously with the public hearing on the site plan. Site plan
approval should encompass approval of all other zoning actions necessary to accomplish the development,
however, if the intended development is to be altered from an approved site plan, additional public hearing
and review is necessary if an additional special review, variance or map amendment is necessitated by the
proposed alteration.
(C) Site plan longevity. After a site plan has been approved by the mayor and council it shall be valid for a
period of 18 months from the date of approval. If a building permit has not been obtained and work has not
begun, the site plan approval shall be void and a new application must be submitted for site plan approval.

Sec. - - Variances.
(A) Standards. After an application has been submitted to the designated city official, reviewed by the planning
commission, and a public hearing has been held by the mayor and council, the mayor and council may grant a
variance from the strict application of the provisions in this Land Development Code only if a physical
circumstance, condition, or consideration exists as described in subsection (1).
(1) There are unique physical circumstances or conditions or considerations beyond that of surrounding
properties, including a substandard lot of record that existed prior to March 24, 1971 (see section 3-040);
irregularity; narrowness; or shallowness of the lot shape; or exceptional topographical or other physical
circumstances, conditions, or considerations related to the environment, or to safety, or to historical
significance, that is peculiar to the particular property; and;
(2) Because of such physical circumstances or conditions or considerations, the property cannot be developed
in strict conformity with the provisions of this Land Development Code, without undue hardship to the
property.
(3) A nonconforming use or structure does not constitute a unique physical circumstance, condition, or
consideration.
() Height. No part of any structure shall project beyond 35 -feet above the average adjacent grade of a property
except:
(1) Chimneys, flues, stacks, heating units, ventilation ducts, air conditioning units, gas holders, elevators, solar
panels and similar appurtenances needed to operate and maintain the building on which they are located.
(2) The following items that were existing on the date of the adoption of this ordinance® flag poles, television
aerials, water towers and tanks, steeples and bell towers, broadcasting and relay towers, transmission
line towers, and electric substation structures.
(C) Variance longevity® After a variance has been granted by the mayor and council it shall be valid for a
period of 12 months from date of approval. Such approval is based on information provided in the
application. Building permits may only be granted for plans consistent with the approved application, Any
deviation from the information submitted will require separate approval by the mayor and council.
Reviewing variance applications. The designated city official, planning commission, and governing body,
shall consider the factors stated herein in reviewing variance applications in taking action on a particular
variance. In exercising the powers to grant variances, the mayor and council may attach any conditions to its
approval which it finds necessary to accomplish the reasonable application of the requirements of these
regulations,
(E) Application approval. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Code of Ordinances, the designated
city official may approve applications for variances without the need of public hearings and without the
need of review by the planning commission or the mayor and council as follows:
(1) When either of the following circumstances exists;
a. The proposed improvement or alteration will not result in an expansion of the existing footprint of the
existing structure; or
b. No additional encroachment into any setback shall be created by the proposed improvement, construction
or addition.
(2) When each of the following circumstances also exists:
a. No encroachment or construction of habitable space or other prohibited improvements will exist below
one foot above the base flood elevation; and
b. The requested improvements or construction will not violate existing zoning provisions.
This subsection shall have specific application to existing nonconforming structures as referred to in section
3-020.
(Compliance with ordinances. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code of Ordinances, no
application for a variance may be accepted nor may any variance be granted with respect to any property
that is then not in compliance with the requirements of ordinances for the condition on which the variance is
sought, unless the applicant files with the application a detailed written explanation of how, when, and by
whom the need for a variance was created. In such a case, the planning commission shall make a
recommendation to the mayor and council as to whether the variance should be approved or rejected or
modified and the mayor and council, following a public hearing, may approve, reject or modify the
variance request. In the event property is constructed in violation of the ordinances, the violation status
remains until such time as the condition is rectified and placed in conformity with the ordinances. Violations
of the ordinances may be subject to the enforcement provisions of this Code and all penalties permissible by
law. A variance that is granted under this section does not excuse prior violations including those that have
resulted or may result in enforcement action by the city.

Drainage Plan for Proposed Modular Building 41'Street Right of Way
The City of Tybee Island is proposing to install two modular buildings in the Right of Way of 4th
Street between Lovell Avenue and 2nd Avenue. ,One building is 2,800 square feet and the other
building is 1,026 square feet. This proposed building, decking, and parking area will create
approximately 10,000 square feet of additional impervious surface, with about 1/3 of the total
covering the terrace area of the street.
Since these buildings will be elevated, the pervious surface will remain under the footprint of the
building. The additional surface drainage created by the modular buildings will drain in a
westerly direction and remain within the city owned right of way of 4th Street.
Since the additional drainage will be contained on the City owned right of way there will be no
adverse effects to neighboring property owners, therefore an official drainage plan should not be
required for this project.
I have attached a site plan showing the proposed first floor elevation and the proposed drainage
created by the proposed building.
