Members present were Mayor pro tem Shirley Sessions, Wanda Doyle, Bill Garbett, Frank Schuman, Sr., Kathryn Williams and Paul Wolff. Also present were City Attorney Bubba Hughes, City
Manager Diane Schleicher, Zoning Director Jonathan Lynn and Clerk of Council Vivian Woods. Mayor Buelterman listed the following items on the Consent Agenda: Beach Task Force reappointments

deepening and the CORP proposal for near shore disposal. Memorial Park Meeting on February 17th at City Hall at 6:00pm Windstream Agreement-Subject to contractual provisions being resolved
Rejection of Ante Litem Notice-Tim Sullivan Rejection of Ante Litem Notice-Timothy Sessions Planning Commission appointments were discussed. Mr. Wolff asked if everyone had received
the e-mail from the vice-chair of the Planning CC Packet 20110213Page 4 of 225
Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 2 of 22 Commission requesting council to hold off on the appointments and extend the deadline to February 4th because only two people had applied and there
were three openings posted. Mayor Buelterman asked if this would be fair to the two applicants that got their applications in on time. Wanda Doyle said she didn’t think that was fair.
Shirley Sessions asked if there would be enough people at the next Planning Commission meeting to have a quorum. Jonathan Lynn said the commission terms do not expire until January 31st,
so there are enough commissioners for the next meeting whether new people are appointed tonight or not. Sessions said if we wait the appointees will have limited time to get on board
with the commission. Lynn said yes the council meeting is on the 10th of February with the Planning Commission meeting on the 15th. Sessions asked if there was an orientation. Lynn said
yes they usually do the orientation towards the end of February. Sessions said she wished there were a lot of applicants but it concerns her that people that do get their applications
in on time would be dismissed. Doyle agreed and said she didn’t have a problem opening it back up but these people got their applications in on time and to her that is two positions
right there. Mayor Buelterman said vote on the two and extend the application for the additional two year term to February 4th. Bill Garbett added or until filled. Kathryn Williams asked
what the problem was initially with the advertisement only being put up a week before the deadline and then council extended it and that may have put some people off as well as the holidays.
She said we need to make sure we advertise for that third position regardless of what action is taken tonight. Mayor Buelterman asked if it was the will of council to appoint the two
people that have applied and extend the application until filled. Doyle said that is her desire. Buelterman asked Hughes if the appointments should be done as in the past. Hughes said
if it is a unanimous vote, the appointments could be done during the consent agenda with the minutes reflecting who voted how. Mayor Buelterman said on the consent agenda there is a
unanimous vote for Henry Levy and John Major and extending the deadline for the third position. Mardi gras event discussion included Kathryn Williams asking what happens in the event
of a cost overrun. Diane Schleicher responded the staff works diligently to come up with a realistic cost estimate and she feels very confident that this one is close. Williams asked
if the event coordinator would be called at the time and notified if the cost should exceed the estimated amount. Schleicher responded yes. Curbside Acceleration Recycling Program discussion
included Paul Wolff explaining that a meeting was held between Waste pro, Schleicher, Wilson, Morton and Wolff in order to discuss writing a grant allowing CC Packet 20110213Page 5 of

Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 3 of 22 us to go from eighteen gallon to ninety six gallon carts for recycling that would have a computer chip imbedded in them in order to know exactly what
address they came from. The truck can weigh them in order for us to know exactly how much is being recycled compared to how much is being thrown away. What we are asking Waste Pro to
do is help us with funding roughly fifty percent of the match. We are looking at around three thousand carts at fifty bucks a cart. He said we are looking at seventy five thousand dollars
from the grant and waste pro would match that with seventy five thousand dollars invested in the carts and we would add an addendum to the contract saying this would be funded or refunded
to them by going from once a week to once every other week for pick up of recycling. He said this will solve a lot of problems such as the wind blowing stuff around. Mayor Buelterman
asked, the cost of pickup would not increase. Wolff answered no. He said we want to include some incentive programs since we will be weighing the carts such as say every pick up day,
whoever has the most recycling by weight will receive a fifty dollar savings bond, just to give people a little extra boost as an incentive. Wolff said we’ve been working to amend our
contract to say if we increase our recycling island wide to thresholds of twenty five, fifty, or one hundred tons a month; we then get that percentage of what they get for the recyclables.
That could be a significant revenue stream for the city that we could use to improve the service or delegate back to the customers. Wanda Doyle said she would have liked to have known
about that meeting but her emaai has been a little crazy lately and maybe it was sent and she didn’t receive it. She said there are people other than Paul that are interested in trash
and recycling. She said she doesn’t know how other council members feel but in the future she would like to know about meetings where something that important is going on. She said we
all need to know meetings are being held. Sessions said everyone does agree and their actions show everyone is concerned with this and whoever puts together these meetings needs to insure
everyone is copied on it. Wolff said we didn’t have a lot of lead time on this, he received the notice from Coca Cola on Friday and they wanted to know something by Tuesday or Thursday.
Mayor Buelterman said in the future just let everyone know. Wolff said we will have to advertise for a quorum. Mayor Buelterman discussed Savannah Chatham Day in Atlanta and said it
falls on the 27th which is the day of the council meeting. He said he is looking at scheduling a meeting on the twentieth in order to discuss the harbor deepening project and provide
Tybee’s response to the C.O.R.E., due by the twenty fifth. He said we would be canceling the meeting on the twenty seventh and advertising for a meeting on the CC Packet 20110213Page
6 of 225
Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 4 of 22 twentieth. He said if there are other pressing items needing to be dealt with before February, they could consider them on the twentieth. Wolff said
what the CORE is offering could amount to a free beach renourishment but there could be consequences that everyone on Tybee needs to be aware of and allow the citizens to give input
to council in order to formulate the response by the twenty fifth. That’s why they are scheduling the meeting on the twentieth. Kathryn Williams said before the holidays they had a meeting
to review and discuss the Memorial Park Master Plan. She said they watched the portion of the council meeting when the committee presented their recommendations. She said basically the
plans have been sitting there and what they want to do is pull the plans out and see what things they might like to implement although there are some things that are not relevant at
this point. She said they want the public to be aware and involved before we start advertising. The meeting on February 17th at City Hall will start at 6:00. Mayor Buelterman adjourned
the Consent Agenda. Mayor Buelterman called the regular meeting of the City Council to order at 7:00pm. Those at the Consent Agenda attended the regular meeting. John Major gave the
invocation and everyone recited the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag. A moment of silence was observed for the victims and families of the Arizona tragedy in which Congresswoman Gifford
was shot. Mayor Buelterman announced the meeting next Thursday, January 20, 2011 at 7:00pm in which they will discuss the plans that the Army Corps of Engineers has developed to take
the dredge spoil from the planned harbor deepening. Rusty Fleetwood announced the Tybee Water Fair to be held on Saturday, January 29th 10am to 4pm at the Tybee Gym. Judy Miller recognized
committee members: Libby Bacon, Frank and Karen Kelly, and Sandy Major. She said the purpose of the fair is to educate the public on the importance of water conservation. Mayor Buelterman
thanked the entire committee for putting together the water fair. Recognitions and Proclamations Mayor Buelterman recognized the employees of the Fourth Quarter 2010 Matthew Moses-DPW

Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 5 of 22 Jonathan Hagan introduced Chris Humes of the LNG Company. Mr. Humes presented Mayor Buelterman and the City of Tybee with a grant check for ten thousand
dollars to be used for purchasing a boat to insure safety and security on our waterways. Bill Farmer gave a presentation as a member of the stakeholders committee on the harbor deepening.
Chantel Morton presented the revised by laws for the better hometown board of directors. She said one of the reasons was to expand the board from seven to nine members. Perb Fortner
introduced himself and the other members of the Steering Committee of Leadership Tybee, Kathy Sutlive, Michael Bodine, and Diane Schleicher. He explained the curriculum of the program
developed for twelve members and said they determined the classes would be just for Tybee Island. He said they started it in February of 2010 and it took almost a year to get it underway.
The participants have completed thirty two classroom hours. He said January 31st will be their final class and Graduation where they will be recognized for their projects. Burke Day
described his first day as a former state representative when the ice and snow was in Atlanta and he was home in his bed on Tybee for the first time in sixteen years. Mr. Day presented
a dare of sorts to council with the premise that we all stand naked before the king and there are twenty people on Tybee that have something you don’t. He said it is unique and interesting
and it’s called CERT, meaning the Community Emergency Response Team. He said he is one of the more recent graduates. He said in twenty hours of training he was taught how to respond
as a citizen when there is a natural or man made disaster. He said Tybee was well represented in the classes. After they went through the simulators he said you know leaders need to
know what to do when the stuff hits the fan and he volunteered to come forth with a friendly challenge to each council member and the Mayor to take this course either together or separately.
He said it is our personal responsibility to know what to do when things go bad. Mayor pro tem Sessions said she completed CERT training five years ago in order to understand what she
was recruiting volunteers for as a representative of the United Way. She said it is rewarding and a fulfillment and she would be glad to take up the challenge and go for a renewal with
her fellow council members. Alfie Waite requested a waiver of the liquor license of the Tybee Lite Shrine Club. He said the Shrine club organization has helped hundreds CC Packet 20110213Page

Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 6 of 22 of thousands of children and the Tybee Lite Shrine Club is a part of this tremendous philanthropy. He announced the Georgia Chip Program (child identification
program) will be held the weekend before St. Patrick’s Day. He said they will send out ads to notify the public they will be available that weekend. Freda Rutherford thanked council
for their efforts to fix the Eagles Nest surprise that occurred on December 17th. She requested for council to help eagles nest retain their community character as outlined in the master
plan. She requested for council to align our values with our actions. She asked if it seemed odd that a property subdivided under C-2 is now proposed for R-2 residential use. Bonnie
Gaster described her experience and background in real estate and contracting houses. She said her background helps her understand they do have a current problem in Eagles Nest with
the zoning errors of the past. She said the major issue being the improper subdivision of lot 1-1-B. she said the eagles nest property owners are greatly concerned and that’s why they
are here tonight in order to let their concerns be known to council. She said in 1996 Paul and Terry Jackson acquired the C-2 area of Eagles Nest adjacent to Hwy 80 and was approved
for a major subdivision for residential use. She said if a C-2 lot is used for residential it reverts to R-2 zoning and this is where the first bobo occurred. The lots on Eagles Nest
Lane should have been changed on the zoning map to R-2 as a planned subdivision. She said Chatham County was not notified either. She said they are now trying to correct this and hope
council will help them. They requested the zoning map be amended to reflect the correct zoning and the subdivided lot at 105 Eagles Nest is recombined. Keith Gay expressed gratitude
from the Friends of the Tybee Theater for the city’s foresight to take on a commitment of matching funds so that we can proceed with the development of the theater. He introduced the
Tybee Players: Susan Susan Kelleher, Renee Deroset, Jenny Orr, Belinda Flanagan, Jen and Keith Drazek and Tina Gann. We are hoping come Saturday night to hear a figure that is right
on target with the amount the city has committed for us or more. The party is Saturday Night, 7 to 11 for $25 a ticket and believe me we can find you a ticket. He said in addition to
music, dancing and Tybee spirits we are inviting everyone to come in 1940’s USO uniforms. Frank Kelly introduced Tye from SCAD that was part of the design group who put together this
proposal about two years ago as a way to reinvent our restroom and shower area starting on the North Beach. This plan will take us into the future allowing us to utilize CC Packet 20110213Page
9 of 225
Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 7 of 22 rainwater for the bathrooms which is what this plan is about. Tye explained that SCAD designed this system and they realize this is not potable water
and cannot be used in the showers but they propose using it in the toilets along with grey water in order to use less of the city’s water if we can, resulting in being able to bring
back the showers. Rusty Fleetwood said what this will do is sell North Beach and like it or not we are in the beach business. He said a lot of volunteer hours have been utilized and
moving ahead with this plan could insure future involvement of the SCAD design team which would be very beneficial for Tybee. Wanda Doyle said I think it’s a wonderful idea but my problem
is the lack of communication with me as a council person. If I would have had something in my packet containing answers to the questions we are asking, I would feel a lot better. When
I pick up a paper and see the words “Tybee Island Beach Showers Moving Forward” I think, oh my gosh, I’ve missed a council meeting. I think the work that the community resource committee
is doing is great and it takes a lot of the burden off of council to have people working on this and bringing the information back to council. I don’t know what the protocol is about
the communication so that I am more prepared than I was tonight when I came in here. I appreciate the information shared tonight, it was very informative. Fleetwood said both this and
the water fair rolled really quickly and it’s my fault. We were unprepared for the short deadline given for the coastal incentive grant. Bill Garbett said this system is way overkill
for the toilets and yet I think the value of this system would be in generating enough water to replace the showers. I just frankly admire the effort and creativity that has gone into
this project but I would hope that you would at least modify that grant so that other alternatives would be considered before you commit to this particular plan. If you get the grant
you may need an environmental engineer to look this over before you go ahead with it. I want some assurance that you will make those options available in the grant before I can approve
it. Fleetwood said this grant if approved tonight will go to DNR tomorrow. My concern if its not approved is losing the momentum and I believe the flexibility will be built into the
grant meaning Diane and Joe will not allow something to be built that is not going to work and I don’t think SCAD will do it either. Mayor Builterman said we’ve got Joe, what’s the risk.
We are putting in money for DPW and we are working on a bathroom that isn’t the taj ma-hal. Diane Schleicher said I’ve checked into what kind of water can be used for showers because
of the health risk and the EPD just recently allowed for flushing toilets with grey water and that’s just been a recent development. In order to get the most bang for our buck we might
want to consider using the grey water for hand washing in the bathrooms as well as the toilets. We would then put signs over the sinks saying the water is not potable CC Packet 20110213Page
10 of 225
Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 8 of 22 and please don’t drink it. Frank Schuman said in the Bahamas they use cisterns of rainwater for everything but they don’t have the EPD. Imagine if
you had a gutter around the pier pavilion how much rain water you would catch during a summer storm and how nice it would be if we had a retaining tank down front for the showers. Mayor
Buelterman said we may have to secede from the United States to make that happen. Leuveda Garner said I have a simple request to have the minutes for the November 18th council meeting
be corrected to reflect what was actually said. In September, 2010 we paid $550 for a special review to appear before the planning commission and city council to request approval of
a caretaker’s cottage. Now the city wants to take away our care takers cottage approval by changing the language to guest cottage. There are significant differences in the code between
caretaker’s cottage and a guest cottage and we intentionally requested a caretaker’s cottage. Our application for special review was submitted and approved as follows. We request permission
to elevate an existing building with improvements to conform to the caretaker’s cottage provision which is allowed in zone R-2 and to comply with the City and FEMA’s height regulations.
Stacye Jarrell said Oceanfront Cottage is proud to be here on behalf of the World Organization of China Painters. Most people don’t realize Tybee host’s the most popular porcelain school
in the world. This year we will have one hundred and sixty students attending multiple sessions. This year we plan to add a watercolor class and oil class to allow locals to attend these
classes as well as the porcelain classes. My request today is for you to reduce the cost of the old school cafeteria by 50% so that meals will be served in the cafeteria for the ladies
and gentlemen who attend and teach these classes.
I think these classes are a local boon to the economy on Tybee. Wanda Doyle asked Hughes should I participate or step out during the Eagles Nest discussion. Hughes said if the discussion
leads towards rezoning the property you own, you should not participate. 1 Sec. 5-010 B-Amend to require relocation permits for ALL structures 2 C-2 Zoning-Change C-2 to include only
properties facing Hwy 80 3 Sec. 5-040 H-require ALL lot subdivisions to come before council CC Packet 20110213Page 11 of 225
Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 9 of 22 Kathryn Williams said I wanted to introduce these items in order to get council’s approval to send it to the Planning Commission since they will constitute
changes to the Land Development Code it should go through the whole vetting process. Wanda Doyle said number 2 will definitely affect my property. Bubba Hughes said to Wanda Doyle you
should not participate. Kathryn Williams said these items directly affect the Eagles Nest situation but can apply to other properties around the island. I want to amend Section 5-010
B to require relocation permits for all structures. It is my opinion that we need permits whether a structure is being relocated on island or being brought from off island or taken away.
I want to send this to the Planning Commission for their review just to make sure it is extremely clear and that there is no doubt that those permits are needed. Kathryn Williams moved
to send Section 5-010 B to the Planning Commission for their review in regards to requiring relocation permits for all structures. Bill Garbett seconded. Bill Garbett said there is already
a provision in Section 3-130 Buildings to be moved and it already clearly states what you’re suggesting. Any building or structure which has been wholly or partially erected on any premises
located within the city shall not be moved to any other premise within the city until a permit is secured from the building and zoning department. Any such building or structure shall
conform to all the provisions in the Land Development Code in the same manner as a new building or structure. No building or structure shall be moved into the city from outside the city
until such compliance has been shown… We need to make sure these are both synchronized and consistent. Mayor asked Vivian Woods to make sure and pass along that comment to the Planning
Commission about the specific provision that Bill read from Article 3. Bubba Hughes said you’ve done that. You know article 3 is the one you’ve been struggling with and this one section
was addressed by you a couple of months ago. The vote was unanimous. Kathryn Williams said the second item concerns the C-2 zoning. Right now we are dealing with an issue in Eagles Nest
but there have been other issues as well. There has also been a lot of confusion with the map and I’m sure we will be talking about how to rectify that. In talking with our City Attorney
he is of the opinion that using GIS to establish the zoning map is probably something the city should pursue. Several people have contacted me with questions and I do want to say very
clearly that when we send something to the planning commission CC Packet 20110213Page 12 of 225
Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 10 of 22 they hold public hearings so that everyone has an opportunity to voice their opinion. When it comes before council you again have another opportunity
to voice your opinion. My concern is protecting residential uses in that area and as it’s designed now the C-2 zone is two hundred feet. If you read the code and you read the intent
of C-2, it is to encourage vehicular service business along the main artery coming onto the island and the zoning does list those appropriate businesses. I think that the only properties
zoned C-2 are the ones that face Highway 80 or First Street because it doesn’t need to intrude back into residential neighborhoods. I would like this explored by the planning commission
as well as getting public input. Changing zoning is a big deal and we have a whole audience to attest to what happens when it is not done right, but I do feel that there are many people
that feel the desire to have residential zoning are caught in that C-2 zoning at this time. Kathryn Williams moved to send to the planning commission for their consideration and examination
the current C-2 zoning with the request that we get their recommendations for how to improve the zoning to eliminate the ambiguities and encourage public input at the hearings. Paul
Wolff seconded. Bubba Hughes said please include the TBR zoning in this process. The planning commission will trigger the notices once they have a proposal. There is nothing that prohibits
council from working on it at the same time. As long as the open meetings law is complied with you can meet with the planning commission, which might be a way to get to the end of this
quicker. Mayor Buelterman asked Hughes is it your recommendation that Williams motion should include that. Hughes said yes. Kathryn Williams amended her motion to include TBR. Paul Wolff
seconded. Paul Wolff said I would like to suggest that when this goes to planning commission that they be very careful about how they construe these definitions because right now I think
it is two hundred feet from the center line of Highway 80. If we say it’s just the lots facing Highway 80, they could be a thousand feet deep. We need to be very specific because we
are dealing with property rights issues because people who own property in C-2 for a business use are not going to want their rights curtailed. Be very careful that we grandfather appropriate
areas; set limits on how deep these lots can be as well as that they face Highway 80 or not. These are things that we need to have the planning commission consider in order for them
to come back and we can make an informed decision as to how, if we are CC Packet 20110213Page 13 of 225
Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 11 of 22 going to rezone C-2 and TBR, make it logical and workable and fair to everyone involved. Kathryn Williams clarified it is my understanding that if
a zoning change is made then the existing businesses would be grandfathered in respect to they wouldn’t have to increase a buffer for example. Is that correct? Bubba Hughes said yes.
The vote was unanimous with Wanda Doyle recusing. Kathryn Williams moved to send Section 5-040H to Planning Commission with the recommendation that we delete this section and require
all lot subdivisions to come before the planning commission and council. Paul Wolff seconded. Jonathan Lynn said so what you would suggest to planning commission is to just strike section
H. Williams said yes. Paul Wolff said I think it is important to do that if only to give the public the opportunity to know that these things are happening. Even if it seems really simple,
it is going to affect the neighbors and we need to give them an opportunity to come to a public hearing and voice their concerns. Bubba Hughes said the way you stated it was just that
subsection. You don’t want to get back into reviewing subdivision plats on completed duplex units. Kathryn Williams said no, I just don’t want subdivisions done at the staff level. Hughes
said except for subdivision plats on completed duplex units. There is a separate section that deals with subdividing duplexes that are already constructed, that they don’t come to you
either. That is a form of a minor subdivision but it’s a different subsection than the one you are referring to. The vote was unanimous with Wanda Doyle recused. Mayor Buelterman asked
Mr. Hughes to provide an update on the status of the Eagles Nest situation. Hughes said I think everyone knows there has been a citation issued on the violations of the building code
and the hearing is set for February 1st. Beyond that I would rather not comment. Kathryn Williams said would it be appropriate to ask staff to get an estimate on utilizing GIS for the
zoning maps. Jonathan Lynn said I am meeting with our GIS rep on Tuesday at noon. That is one of the issues already covered is to get a price on it. CC Packet 20110213Page 14 of 225
Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 12 of 22 Wanda Doyle said I recused myself but when will I have the opportunity to express my opinion on these zoning matters. Bubba Hughes said I don’t know
what your decision is and it might impact how you have to act. As you know any of you can act in a private capacity and petition to rezone your own property but you have to recuse yourself
from participating and if that is what you are choosing to do you would be able to participate as a property owner but not in your capacity as a council person. Gordon asked could you
give a statement of the facts about eagles nest as they currently exist. Bubba Hughes said there is a hearing based on the position that there has been a violation of the ordinance by
the placement of those structures where they are without a permit. He was given notice in advance of the citation that they needed to be moved and they were not moved. The hearing is
scheduled for February 1st at 4:00pm. Consideration of the approval of the minutes of the regular regular meetings of the Tybee Island City Council. 20101209 City Council Minutes A Motion

club be notified of next budget cycle and the grant process in order for them to submit their request at the appropriate time was seconded by Frank Schuman. The vote was 5 in favor with
Kathryn Williams abstaining. Diane Schleicher said the request for waiver of fees by the Community Resource Committee for use of the gym has been withdrawn because they don’t need a
waiver because they are a city committee. Don Ernst and Frank Kelly, request to apply for DNR grant plus city match to rework North Beach restrooms and shower. Kathryn Williams abstained
because her son was in that class and is active with that committee. A Motion by Paul Wolff to approve was seconded by Frank Schuman. Paul Wolff said since this grant won’t be awarded
until July 31st, I have sat on the committee that awards these grants and I still sit on the committee that funds them. There is always flexibility if the original intent is followed.
I encourage that group to continue researching bio filters and try to come up with something cost effective and hopefully they can make themselves that will deliver potable water from
rainwater. They still have time for a resubmission for next cycle. There is flexibility and we are not specifically limiting them to what they did with their class project. Bill Garbett
said I have obviously raised some concerns about this but I think the goal of the project is excellent and I am placing my trust in the chair of the conservation committee to make sure
we are not embarrassed by this. Wanda Doyle said I would ask Rusty Fleetwood and that committee to keep us posted and updated on how everything is going so that we don’t get any surprises
or headlines when this is all said and done. The vote was unanimous with Williams abstained. Leuveda and Ron Garner requesting November 18, 2010 minutes be correct and factual regarding
council’s approval of caretaker’s cottage status. CC Packet 20110213Page 16 of 225
Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 14 of 22 Bubba Hughes said there is obviously a history with this structure and they disagree with me that it doesn’t make any difference to me if you call
it a guest cottage or a caretaker’s cottage apparently. They applied for a caretaker’s cottage which is permissible in R-2, so is a guest cottage. Neither of them in his opinion can
be rented out to other people. A caretaker’s cottage is what it means it’s for the care of the residents and the main structure. I recollect that at the time we heard this Paul Wolff
specifically stated “you understand that you can’t rent it” or words to that affect but he doesn’t see that in the minutes. They say they don’t intend to rent it and all we can do is
record what the minutes were and if the minutes have been approved then they are deemed approved. The status of it could be reflected as a caretaker’s cottage but the ultimate use of
the structure shouldn’t change even if it is. Mayor Buelterman said in other words you’re arguing that we could go ahead and change it as they are requesting their claim that the caretaker’s
cottage is what they applied for but ultimately it doesn’t make any difference. Bubba Hughes said in his opinion it doesn’t make any difference. Shirley Sessions said the minutes before
us that are highlighted are verbatim. Is that correct? Vivian Woods said yes. Sessions said I think it is important that the minutes reflect what was actually said in the meeting but
are they asking us to change that. Bubba Hughes said he thinks what they are asking to get approved for what they asked for, a caretaker’s cottage and apparently the motion interchanges
caretaker’s cottage with guest cottage. Sessions said she doesn’t have a problem making that change if that is what they asked for then I am certainly in favor of doing that. I believe
the intent was that we voted to that intent. Hughes said he doesn’t think she is wrong and he understood it from the context it was taken that it was clear it wasn’t going to be rented
whichever it was. Sessions said I understood that too. Hughes said this was a special review which is different from a site plan and you can impose conditions. I am troubled because
of the way we got here and I don’t want to mislead the Garner’s or anybody else. Sessions said clearly they have been mis-lead in 2001 when they said they were given permission to build
this. Hughes said no. Wanda Doyle said they were given permission for a storage building that looked like it. Jonathan Lynn said it was permitted in 2001 as an accessory/storage building.
Sessions said she keeps referring to a letter from the City Marshal referring to FEMA standards. Hughes said that letter contained a stop work order because they were building beyond
what was permitted in 2001. it specifically says that the uses are limited to a storage structure and that if electricity is put in it’s got to be above base flood level, that hydro
vents need to be installed and that the CC Packet 20110213Page 17 of 225
Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 15 of 22 building not to be used as livable or habitable space but storage. Sessions said that just reiterates the whole point of how they got here and if
we approved the guest or caretaker’s cottage; my second point is I understand the issue of not renting out short term rental or whatever. I guess that is what we are talking about, guest
cottage, caretaker’s cottage but once again when you look at the code and it clearly states that residential areas are to be residential areas for single families that stay long term.
We’ve violated that code for years and continue to do so. So I don’t have a problem personally with a caretaker’s guest cottage in that concept. What’s the difference in renting a house
to twenty five people and you are not supposed to rent it in a residential section. Doyle said she pulled their paperwork and they applied for a caretaker’s cottage and she is in favor
of changing the minutes to reflect that. Hughes said the minutes are verbatim and he is not in favor of changing verbatim minutes. What you’re doing is making a motion to correct an
error that was done in the meeting as reflected in the minutes to truly correct what your intention was if it was to grant a caretaker’s cottage. Paul Wolff said I heard her at one point
say she wanted verbatim minutes and we have them now so would there be a problem with just replacing the minutes pertaining to this petition with verbatim minutes because they say everything
very clearly including the fact that Jonathan said they can’t rent it out but they can have family stay there but it cannot be a rental property period. It clears up all the grey areas
that everyone seems to be fuzzy on. They can call it whatever they want but that’s in the minutes. Hughes said that is in the discussion but not in the motion and if it is called a caretaker’s
cottage as the Garner’s interpret the code, it can be rented Wanda Doyle moved to approve what was placed on the original application, which is a caretaker’s cottage. Bill Garbett seconded.
Bill Garbett said their request included having the minutes most accurately reflect their discussion. I think that would be beneficial if we included them also. Mayor Buelterman asked
Vivian Woods if what was given to us tonight were verbatim. Vivian Woods said yes. Bill Garbett said and that is what we are substituting in the minute’s right? Mayor Buelterman said
we are not substituting anything in the minutes but we are changing what was originally approved to state it’s what the applicants originally requested. Which was a caretaker’s cottage?
Kathryn Williams said she voted for that motion under the impression it would not be rented and so if we change it to say this is what we really meant to vote on, that’s not what I voted
on. I think it’s going to open up a can of worms if the city attorney is saying that you can’t rent either one and they are under the opinion CC Packet 20110213Page 18 of 225
Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 16 of 22 that you can, that’s going to create a situation and I don’t know how it will be resolved. Shirley Sessions said if the motion states that we acknowledge
their application was for a caretaker’s cottage and we stand by the minutes as written verbatim and we understand as part of that there is no rental of the caretaker’s cottage or guest
cottage as stated in the minutes. Mayor Buelterman asked Wanda Doyle to withdraw her motion if she wants to. Doyle said the only part I guess you’re adding is about the renting of it
which is a part of our code anyway, which I think Bubba has explained to them anyway. They may not agree but we don’t agree with a lot of things. If it’s against the law and they get
caught breaking it… Mayor Buelterman said I think that Shirley is suggesting by voting that we publicly acknowledge that they asked for a caretaker’s cottage and leave it at that. Mayor
Buelteman asked Wanda Doyle will you withdraw your motion. Wanda Doyle said yes. Bubba Hughes said if you clarify that the application was for a caretaker’s cottage and in the minutes
of November the 18th it was referred to as a guest cottage but in order to correct the record. Don’t change the earlier minutes. The motion should have been its approved as a caretaker’s
cottage under special review and if you want to impose a condition that reminds them that it is not available for rent, that should be recited in there as well. Mayor Buelterman said
Wanda if you will withdraw your motion. Wand Doyle said I withdraw my motion. Mayor Buelterman said Shirley will you Withdraw your second. Shirley said I withdraw my second. Bubba Hughes
said what we are doing is correcting the record for the meeting of November 18’ 2010. The motion was to approve and what had been applied for was a caretaker’s cottage but in the discussion
immediately leading up to the motion there was a reference to a guest cottage. What was approved was a caretaker’s cottage however there had been discussion as well that the structure
could not be rented as a caretaker’s cottage and that needs to be a part of the record. Paul Wolff said so moved and Shirley Sessions seconded. The vote was unanimous. Stacye Jarrell,
Oceanfront Cottage Rentals, LLC, requesting rate reduction for Old School Cafeteria from 2/18/11 to 3/6/11 for the World Organization of China Painters to conduct annual classes on Tybee
for 17 days. Asking for rate reduction of 50% from $5,100 to $2,550. Bill Garbett moved to approve. Frank Schuman seconded. The vote was unanimous. CC Packet 20110213Page 19 of 225
Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 17 of 22 Kathryn Williams said so the city has waived half of the fees for three years. Diane Schleicher said yes. Williams said I would think in our current
economic situation that we would give them a reduction but maybe not a full 50%. Shirley Sessions said maybe we should explain to Stacye if they come again next year we really need to
rethink the 50%. I would like for the staff to step up and advise us. Do you think that this is something that there are stipulations that we should not do. We don’t really hear enough
from ya’ll about these types of things and ya’ll do know the financial consequences. Diane Schleicher said they do clean up after themselves but they give us a deposit and it is during
a time when we really don’t rent it very often. If you think about it the room would be open during that time so we are recovering money that we wouldn’t have had otherwise. The vote
was unanimous. Consideration of Bids, Contracts, Agreements and Expenditures Change Order-#5 GEFA ECBG: Credit of $1,398 to line item 100-6210-54-1450. A Motion to approve by Paul Wolff
was seconded by Frank Schuman. Wanda Doyle said there was a credit for $2893 but what was the original cost and why is it being changed from exterior to interior. Paul Wolff said a lot
of it was logistics. They had originally projected that the airlock on the Gym was going to project out into the porch and when they got to look at it more closely it was going to be
not very workable in terms of ADA accessibility and if someone came up the ramp on a wheelchair it was going to be a tough turn. It made a lot more sense to go into the lobby and the
main cost savings to that was that we didn’t have to use impact glass because it wasn’t going to be exposed to the elements. All we had to do was move the impact doors to the front and
use the regular doors on the back and we have an airlock in the lobby that is a much more efficient use of the space and it is much easier to use. Wanda Doyle said I’ve been over there
as the liaison for the Y and I think this is going to be a hardship for the people in the gym and how they have their setup. For one thing they have been freezing to death over there
since we have had this cold weather and now they have to put up with this. Where their check in counter is on the right hand side and from what I understand I don’t see how anybody in
a wheelchair can get around there. The only other area for them to set up a check in is where they have all their skates. I think it is going to put an undo hardship on them to have
this done. We took it out of city hall to do something else and now we CC Packet 20110213Page 20 of 225
Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 18 of 22 are going to put it over there. I know you say there is a cost savings on paper but I disagree with it. Paul Wolff said we met with the contractors
and Gina and had a tape measure and went through the whole thing with Gina there and asking her every step of the way if she thought this was going to work. The whole purpose of this
is to make it more comfortable for the people working there because every time someone comes in they get a blast of cold or hot air depending on what season it is. This is going to eliminate
that problem. We talked to the girl at the desk and she said she was all for it. This is not just to save money it is to make the gym more pleasant for the people who are spending the
whole day there and for the people who are in there playing games and exercising. Wanda Doyle said I don’t know who you talked to Paul because I talked to several people and that is
not what they told me. Shirley Sessions said so you say you worked with the director of the Y. Paul Wolff said yes. Sessions said maybe we could get something in writing from her and
in the future as a general idea not only for these types of things but for anything that is going to impact another group of people, we can get someone with authority representing that
group of people to sort of sign off on a letter or write a letter of agreement saying yes I support this and this is why. We could have that with the packet and with the record and we
wont be saying I thought that’s what he said or that’s what she said. Paul Wolff said sure but she spent a whole hour over there with us saying what I just said the whole way. Sessions
said I don’t think for a minute that you misunderstood. Wanda Doyle asked are you saying I misunderstood. Sessions said no I’m saying to Paul we don’t think it but we are not there and
we didn’t hear what she said. Wolff said well there were five or six of us there and I can get all of them to verify. Sessions said I don’t want to argue about this I just feel there
should be something in writing. Mayor Buelterman asked Wolff to have Catamount come to a future meeting and share what they’ve done. Sessions said Diane was at that meeting do you agree
that having something in writing like a recommendation helps. Diane Schleicher said well I’m just really surprised because I was there and we went there and Gina was involved in the
process and I’m surprised. This was about a month ago and she hasn’t come back and said that she had a problem with it at all. This is the first I’ve heard about it Wanda. I apologize
she has had every opportunity to say. The problem with going out because we’ve even thought about going half in and half out is not so much about the ADA but if you think about it being
out on the porch is when you have someone coming up on the stairs to come in and the doors come open that someone may fall backwards on the stairs. We were thinking about safety because
of how much would be left as far as the approach and how they might fall backwards on the stairs. So we are thinking about the safety and the kids because the kids have a CC Packet 20110213Page
21 of 225
Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 19 of 22 tendency to horse around on the stairs. The thought was if we brought the airlock inside we would get away from all those safety issues because we
observed how the kids behaved and how people behaved on the porch. That’s what kind of drove that whole issue. It turned out to be a cost savings and I actually thought it would cost
more because we have to move some mechanicals in order for it to happen. The HVAC has to be moved and the sprinklers have to be moved and some lights have to be moved and I didn’t even
think we would get a savings to be honest. I thought it would be awash if anything and all. What was driving the issue was the safety and the approach and worried about walking up the
stairs and there being enough room with the airlock. That’s what really drove it. We measured to make sure that when you came around you would have enough room to meet the ADA requirements
for a wheelchair when you came around as far as the width in front of that desk and we did the width that it made the width requirements for ADA accessibility. A clear glass airlock
it will be totally visible and I have talked with one of the ladies that work there. She is outspoken and concerned that people will be able to see it and they will physically come around
but the tradeoff is that she gets the cold blast of air and she said people just have to change. You know people don’t like change you know you have an airlock and people just coming
into a wide open atrium or entry way. She said if she doesn’t have to have this freezing cold and she is the one that has been calling. About the cold blast of air and she is really
looking forward to it but she is a little concerned about it and is sort of wait and see. Like I said we measured it to make sure there was enough clearance coming around and its going
to be glass. People are worried that it is going to be closed off too much but its going to be like a glass enclosure and all and you will be able to see through it. Like I said Gina
was there when we looked because it was a big decision to make and had her input and her thought and said can you live with this, is this something you can do, you know what we can do.
She was involved there so we brought her immediately to the meeting. Wanda Doyle said Diane
you can sit there and talk all night okay. You are City Manager, if you walk into a room and you are talking to a person and she answers to you or the city and a council person comes
in. I know what we talked about and the motions been made and seconded and it’s over and done with just like everything has been done with this project from the beginning. Jason call

Prepared 01/19/2011vw Page 20 of 22 Kathryn Williams moved to approve the consent agenda. Paul Wolff seconded. The vote was unanimous. Public Hearings 1. Request for setback variance,
205A Miller Ave (4-0004-12-007), LDC Section 3-090, Applicant/Owner: Mr. Tyler Randolph Mayor Buelterman opened the public hearing. Jonathan Lynn said the applicant is requesting a set
back variance at 205A Miller Ave. This was previously before council on December 9, 2010 however the applicant was unable to attend. Mayor and Council recommended continuing it until
such time as the applicant can be here. The property is zoned R-2 and the community character is the inland cottage neighborhood. He is seeking a side yard variance to build a screened
in glassed in porch on the side of the unit. Currently there is a 21.1 foot setback. The proposed porch addition is to be 12.2 feet in width that would reduce the setback to 8.10 feet
from the property line on the southern portion of the property. The current property at 205 Miller Ave. is a duplex and Mr. Randolph owns the Southern side of that duplex. The required
setback for this area would be ten feet. The staff finding states the request does not violate the intent of the zoning for this location as specified also in the master plan however
staff does not make any interpretations on the case on the hardship for the applicant. Shirley Sessions said I’m sorry I didn’t understand what the hardship was. Lynn said Mr. Randolph
is basing his request on the size of the porch he wishes to build will not fit within the property setback. Sessions said did you show him the code section about hardship. Lynn said
yes. Mr. Randolph said we are requesting a fourteen inch variance into the 10 foot setback. We are citing factors that create a hardship as follows, the lot condition. As a duplex unit
we are automatically precluded from adding to the right because of the other unit. The lot is narrower than normal and is not the typical unit house site lot. Third, if we were to seek
the square footage we are trying to accommodate here by expanding backwards, we would have to take out at least two old established trees that we would like to preserve including a live
oak and a palm tree. We would tear down the wood fence and we believe the porch would create more curb appeal and be more esthetically pleasing than the wood fence. Frank Schuman moved
to approve as requested. Wanda Doyle seconded. The vote was Schuman, Doyle and Sessions in favor and Garbett, CC Packet 20110213Page 23 of 225

City of Tybee Island Bike Plan 2011 1 | P a g e 1. INTRODUCTION PURPOSE The purpose of the Bike Plan for the City of Tybee Island is to improve and encourage bicycle transportation within
the City Limits. It is being constructed to develop and promote and comprehensive system of bikeways and facilities. This is Tybee Island’s first adopted Bicycle Plan and will serve
as an important tool in providing current and future policies and proposals that will mold and conform bicycle facilities and guide bicycle planning activities within the City. The City
of Tybee Island was fortunate to receive an Honorable Mention from the League of American Cyclists in 2010. During 2011, the City of Tybee Island will continue to strive for higher designations
through further implementation of Bike Plan and other areas of improvements. BICYCLING AND TYBEE ISLAND With rising concerns regarding fuel prices and sedentary lifestyles, bicycling
offers a clean, economic, and healthy transportation mode. Tybee Island with a mild climate, strong sense of community lifestyle, compact location, and smooth terrain is an ideal location
for the enhancement of bicycling. Through the implementation of this plan, Tybee Island residents and visitors will have access to a safe and well maintained network of bikeways, which
link to important destinations on the Island. THE PLANNING PROCESS This plan has been developed by the Bicycle Committee for the City of Tybee Island, which includes representatives
from city personnel, public safety, community groups, and citizens. The process for development of this plan involved identifying problems and proposing a vision, goals, objectives,
and policies. There have been three key elements that have been identified to address within the initial Bike Plan for the City of Tybee Island. Throughout this planning document these
areas will be: • The Tybee Island Bicycle Network • Bicycle Parking on Tybee Island • Bicycle Safety, Education, and Outreach. POLICY FRAMEWORK AND PRIORITIZATION The policy framework
provides the basis for planning bicycle facilities and to encourage and promote the safe usage of bicycles throughout Tybee Island. The policies will address network improvements, parking,
facilities, promotion, and education for biking through the city. The CC Packet 20110213Page 170 of 225
City of Tybee Island Bike Plan 2011 2 | P a g e goals that can be found throughout this plan reflect the City of Tybee Island’s ongoing commitment to making Tybee Island a bicycle friendly
city and increasing the transportation options for the visitors and residents of Tybee Island. The Plan provides the model for the city to furnish the facilities and promotion needed
to advance bicycling as a truly viable transportation alternative. With the creation of this Plan and coordination with the Tybee Island Master Plan, efforts towards a multi-use transportation
network throughout Tybee Island will be furthered. The prioritization of projects and facility improvements will provide City staff with a defined set of goals to be completed as financing
becomes available. It is intended for these goals to be reviewed, evaluated, and amended on an annual basis, along with any other areas of this plan as deemed necessary by City Council
and/or City staff. SETTING The City of Tybee Island is located along the eastern portion of Chatham County with the eastern boundary of the City being the Atlantic Ocean. Tybee Island’s
natural surroundings attract thousands of people for recreation and relaxation on a monthly basis throughout the year. The largest increase of visitors to Tybee Island occurs between
the months of May and September each year, which is generally the heavy tourist season throughout the region. Tybee Island is a municipality located within a 2.56 square mile area and
has a residential population of 3,732, according to the 2006 U.S. Census update. With the favorable climate, flat terrain, family-oriented lifestyle, compact location, and the convenient
proximity to a larger urban area, Tybee Island is an ideal location for bicycling. Land Use Tybee Island has as much of a rural and small town feel as can be found in a beach community.
However, the city has done a tremendous job in fostering and managing growth for the area to such an extent as still not reaching the carrying capacity for the area. However, as time
has gone on, the needs for the island and the carrying capacity are becoming closer and closer. The city has taken measures, through its Land Development Code, to encourage mixed-use
developments, encourage conservation easements for the preservation of the natural areas of the island, undertaken measures to improve drainage concerns for the island, and funded studies
to find solutions for alleviating several concerns on the island: parking, littering, healthiness of the beach, and streetscape improvements. In 2009, Tybee Island was named “America’s
Healthiest Beach” by Health magazine. Demographics Commuting patterns and the City’s transportation options are not in line with each other at the present time. There is no public modal
transportation option that enters or exits Tybee Island for CC Packet 20110213Page 171 of 225
City of Tybee Island Bike Plan 2011 3 | P a g e those that live on the island and work off or vice versa. Just to be specific modal transportation refers to walking, bicycling, driving,
or taking public transportation. Essentially, it refers to available and common transportation options. While commuting to the Island is not a feasible alternative to some, the promotion
of cycling throughout Tybee Island certainly is. According the 2000 US Census, as seen in Table 1, only 3.3% of the population of the United States walked or biked to work in 2000 with
an additional 16.9% either using public transportation or carpooling. In comparison, the State of Georgia figures for cycling were less as a percentage than the national average. Even
with such a small population, Tybee Island residents (1.3%) are cycling at a rate three times the national average (0.4%). This demonstrates the importance of a bicycle network and safety
measures to ensure that cyclists are receiving as much attention as fellow motorists. Table 1-2000 Modal Split in the United States, State of Georgia, and City of Tybee Island Mode U.S.

City of Tybee Island Bike Plan 2011 4 | P a g e 2. THE TYBEE ISLAND BICYCLE NETWORK GOAL Expansion of a well connected and comprehensive bicycle network. OBJECTIVES Provide safe spaces
for bicycling through a comprehensive network of bikeways and routes that are appropriately signed and marked for both cyclists and motorists. The facilities should include on-street
routes, marked bicycle lanes where possible, and multi-use trails through unimproved areas of the Tybee Island network of roads. POLICIES Keys to Implementation 1) Additional bikeways
will be established while incorporating future and current routes within an overall network. 2) The Department of Public Works will continue to maintain a weekly sweeping schedule and
provide any maintenance required for the bikeways. 3) Bicycle projects will be incorporated into the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP). 4) They City will provide adequate access to all
schools, recreation facilities, and potential transit stops in the future event of the location of public transportation to Tybee Island. 5) Integrate residential and commercial areas
of the island in the plan. 6) Interconnecting existing resources will be a top priority for all future improvements in the bike network. 7) The plan will continue to encourage bicycle
networks to be located on minor streets while intersecting major and collector streets only at necessary junctures. Estimated Cost: $65,000 The expansion of the bicycle network can be
done for less than $15,000 as the requirements for such will fall on city staff for the designation and information. The costs for this will lie within the creation and implementation
of additional signage for designations of future areas of the bicycle network and the printing of educational materials for the public detailing the bike routes and their respective
locations. A majority of the remaining costs of $50,000 would be incurred with the improvements made to the existing trail through Memorial Park on Tybee Island. The existing designated
bicycle routes are currently shown in the Tybee Island Bicycling Guide, which is included as “Appendix A” in this plan. This guide is available at City Hall and can be found on the City’s
website at http://www.cityoftybee.org/Assets/Files/BikeBrochure.pdf. CC Packet 20110213Page 173 of 225

adequate and aesthetically pleasing short and long-term end of trip bicycling parking throughout the island. ACCOMODATING BICYCLISTS In order to properly accommodate and encourage the
use of bicycling, secure and convenient bicycle parking facilities must be available at all convenient locations throughout Tybee Island. There are two types of bicycle parking that
will need to be addressed: • Short-term parking – This is the manner of bicycle parking meant to accommodate visitors, retail patrons, messengers, bicycle delivery users, and others
that will typically only remain their locations for a maximum of two hours. This requires the strategic placement of standard bike racks. • Long-term parking – Bicycle parking meant
to accommodate employees, students, residents, potential commuters, and others that are expected to park for longer than two hours as that will be the ideal threshold for short-term
parking. Currently, the there are no long-term parking options for cyclists provided by the City of Tybee Island in a public capacity. There may be some businesses that provide this
type of service for their employees but it is not open to the public. The City of Tybee Island does provide public bike racks throughout the city and are they are located strategically
in such areas as shopping hubs, heavily trafficked beach entry locations, City Hall, and at the YMCA recreation center to name a few. While it is acknowledged that there are currently
not enough of these racks, future acquisitions are being budgeted. POLICIES Keys to Implementation 1) For short term parking, the city shall encourage the continued use of the inverted

violation of this clause will be subject to the same enforcement as all other regulations of this Land Development Code. (Ord. Correction to dates, amended 4-14-2005) Sec. 3-120. Access
to public street required. No structure shall be constructed or erected upon a lot, or parcel of land, which does not abut upon an open public street or permanent easement of access
to an open public street. Such easement shall have a minimum width of 20 feet unless an easement of lesser width was of record prior to the adoption of the ordinance from which this
section is derived. (Ord. Correction to dates, amended 4-14-2005) Sec. 3-150. Prohibited uses in residential districts. Under no circumstances shall the following be permitted in any
residential zoning district: (A) In open areas, the parking or storing of unoccupied house trailers or converted buses in excess of 24 feet shall not be permitted. (Sec. 3-150(A), I
recommend we define “open areas.” I also recommend we disallow the parking of either unoccupied house trailers or converted buses; otherwise people could park a 23 foot house trailer
in an open lot in perpetuity as long as they had the owner’s permission. I don’t believe we want that.) (B) Commercial tractor trailers or rigs shall not be parked or stored on residentially
zoned property at any time with the exception of trailers used for supply and equipment storage of a properly permitted construction site. (Sec. 3-150(B), I recommend we limit the size
of construction equipment storage trailers and insist they be promptly removed upon completion of construction.) (C) It shall be a prohibited use in all residentially zoned districts
to park or store power driven construction equipment, used lumber or metal, or any other miscellaneous scrap or salvageable material in quantity. (Ord. Correction to dates, amended 4-14-2005)
Sec. 3-160. Protective screening of adjacent residential property. In order to provide adequate protective screening for residential districts near or abutting nonresidential areas,
the following regulations shall apply to all new commercial development: (A) Where a commercial district use abuts directly upon a residentially zoned district use, a vegetative landscaped
greenbelt not less in width than the required setback for the property and with a well maintained ornamental masonry wall or privacy fence no less than six feet in height above grade
shall be provided and properly maintained along its entire length by the users of the commercial property. Such greenbelt shall be planted with CC Packet 20110213Page 193 of 225
12 deciduous trees, evergreens, flowering trees, ornamental trees, or any combination of the same not set further than ten feet apart at any given point along the greenbelt. The greenbelt
shall be measured from the property line of the commercial property. In no instance will a street, sidewalk or other like improvement be permissible as a buffer. In no instance will
a dumpster be permitted in a buffer. (B) The area beneath and between the planted trees shall be well-kept lawn free of foreign debris and unmanaged undergrowth. All landscaping shall
be maintained in a healthy growing condition, neat and orderly in appearance. (C) All planting plans shall be first submitted to the planning commission during the commercial site plan
review process for approval of the planting materials and arrangement thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Land Development Code. (D) Where there is not adequate space to

above grade set back ten feet from the property line. (Ord. No. 1999-24, 8-12-1999; Ord. No. 2000-09, 2-11-2000; Ord. Correction to dates, amended 4-14-2005; Ord. No. 2000-09, amended
5-24-2000; Ord. No. 1999-24, amended 10-7-1999) Sec. 3-165. Greenspace. Findings and purpose: the preservation of greenspace is important to the health and welfare of the city’s citizens
and aids in the reduction of drainage problems associated with development; and the preservation of greenspace and permeable surfaces will preserve aesthetic features of the landscape
and provide for the free flow of air, light, etc. Therefore, in the interest of the public health, safety and welfare, the mayor and council find that the imposition of a permeable surface
requirement into the setback spaces of lots is appropriate. In all zoning districts, 65 percent of the designated setback area of a lot shall remain consist of permanent permeable surface
to permit the absorption of water and shall not be paved, built upon, or covered in such a way as to interfere with the permeability of the surface in a vegetative state. (page 15, Section
3-165, Greenspace Is it the intent is to require 65% of the actual designated setback area to be left in its natural vegetative state, or an area of the lot equivalent to 65% of the
designated setback area? Is the language clear?) (Ord. No. 1999-24, 8-12-1999; Ord. No. 2000-10, 2-11-2000; Ord. Correction to dates, amended 4-14-2005; Ord. No. 2000-10, add 5-24-2000)
Sec. 3-170. Home occupations and home business offices. Profit-making activities conducted in homes fall into two classes: home occupations and home business offices. (A) Home occupation.
If permitted in a land use district, it must comply with the following requirements. It shall be allowed, provided that it: (1) Is carried on by a member(s) of the family residing in
the dwelling unit only. One employee who is not part of the family is permitted; (2) Is conducted entirely within the principle structure; (3) Utilizes not more than 25 percent of the
total floor area of the principle structure; (4) Produces no alteration or change in the character or exterior or change in the principle structure from that of a dwelling; CC Packet

13 (5) Involves no sale or offering for sale of any article not produced or assembled by members of the family, or any service not entirely performed by members of the family, residing
on the premises; (6) Creates no disturbing or offensive noise, vibration, smoke, dust, odor, heat, glare, traffic hazard, unhealthy or unsightly condition; (7) There shall be no sign
or external indication of the business. (B) Home business office. If permitted in a land use district, it must comply with the following requirements: (1) There shall be no sign or external
indication of the business office. (2) No more than one vehicle used in the conduction of the business may be parked at the home location. Signage on this vehicle is limited to the area
of the driver and passenger front doors of said vehicle. (3) The office may occupy no more than 25 percent of the floor area of the principle structure. (4) The office must be located
in the principle structure. (5) Only residents of the dwelling may engage in work at the office. (Ord. Correction to dates, amended 4-14-2005) Sec. 3-180. Satellite receiving dish antenna.
A satellite dish shall be allowed in all zones; however, in all residential zones the following requirements shall apply: (A) Dish shall not extend more than three feet above the highest
point of the roof nor be greater than 18 inches in diameter. Satellite receiving antennas placed upon the ground shall not exceed 18 inches in diameter. (B) Location of the antenna must
be approved by the building official prior to installation. (C) A property owner who has in place a nonconforming antenna at the effective date of the ordinance from which this section
is derived may continue to maintain the antenna. In all zoning districts, antenna will be placed so as not to create a hazard to traffic or public utilities. (Ord. Correction to dates,
amended 4-14-2005) (Ord. Correction to dates, amended 4-14-2005) Sec. 3-210. Child day care facilities. Child day care facilities, when located in a district as a permitted use shall
have a minimum of 100 square feet of outdoor play area [and] shall be provided for each child. Such outdoor play area shall be enclosed by a fence not less than four feet in height.
(Ord. Correction to dates, amended 4-14-2005) Sec. 3-220. Amusement parks. CC Packet 20110213Page 195 of 225
14 The sale of alcoholic beverages is not permitted on the property of any amusement park. Also as required by article V, chapter 58 of the City Code, eEating and drinking establishments
must be housed in a fixed structure and certified by the Chatham County Health Department. (Ord. Correction to dates, amended 4-14-2005) Sec. 3-230. Turtle nesting protection. The beaches
of Tybee Island serve as a prime nesting site for sea turtles, an endangered species. Coastal development threatens the survival of sea turtles because artificial lighting discourages
nesting females and causes disorientation of hatchlings during the nesting season, which runs from May 1 through October 31 each year. It is the intention of the city to offer protection
to these endangered sea turtles by providing standards for lighting in the shore protection area adjacent to the city's beaches. For the purposes of this section, the protected nesting
area shall be the sand beaches of Tybee Island. (A) Exceptions. The following point sources sources of artificial light are exempt from the provisions of this section: (1) All lights
necessary for the safe navigation of vessels utilizing the waters surrounding the city; (2) All lights necessary to mark obstructions to the safe use of airspace over, above and around
the city; (3) All lights necessary for regulating the safe passage and movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic within the city; (4) Any light that has been specifically designated
by the fire and/or police commissioner(s) as necessary for the security and safety of the human inhabitants of the city. (B) New development. Building and electrical plans for new construction
including parking lots, dune crossovers, and all other outdoor lighting that can be seen from the beach shall comply as follows: (1) Floodlights shall be shielded and mounted so that
no light illuminates the beach and the point source of light is not visible from the beach. (2) Pole lighting shall be shielded and mounted so that light is directed away from the seaward
side of the pole and the point source of light is not visible from the beach. (3) Low profile luminaries shall be positioned so that no light shines directly onto the beach. (4) Dune
crossovers shall utilize low profile shielded lighting so that no light illuminates the beach and the point source of the light is not visible from the beach. (5) Lights illuminating
structures and grounds shall be shielded or screened so that they do not illuminate the beach and the point source of light is not visible from the beach, or they shall be turned off
from sunset to sunrise during the period of May 1 through October 31 of each year. (6) Temporary security lights at construction sites shall not be mounted higher than 15 feet above
ground and shall be positioned not to illuminate the beach. (C) Existing development. All lighting shall come into compliance with the following standards: (1) Lights illuminating structures
and grounds shall be shielded or screened so that they do not illuminate the beach and the point source of light is not visible from the beach, or they shall be turned off from sunset
to sunrise during the period of May 1 through October 31 of each year. CC Packet 20110213Page 196 of 225
15 (2) Lights illuminating crossovers shall be shielded or screened so that they do not illuminate the beach and the point source of light is not visible from the beach, or they shall
be turned off during the period of May 1 through October 31 of each year. (3) Security lighting shall be shielded or screened so that the beach is not illuminated and the point source
of light is not visible from the beach, or low profile luminaries may be used. (D) Publicly owned lighting. Streetlights and lighting of publicly owned beach access areas must be in
compliance with the following: (1) Wherever possible, streetlights shall be located, shielded or shaded so that they will not directly illuminate the beach and the point source of light
is not visible from the beach. (Sec. 3-230(D)(1), recommend we delete the words “Wherever possible” at the beginning of the sentence.) (2) Lights at parks or other public beach access
points shall be shielded or shaded so that they will not directly illuminate the beach and the point source of light is not visible from the beach or, if not necessary for security or
public safety, utilization may be discontinued during the nesting season. (Ord. Correction to dates, amended 4-14-2005) Sec. 3-240. Wetlands protection. (page 19, Section 3-240What is
the definition of “wetland protection district,” and where do we find that definition. (Section 5-10 (K)?, Article 15?) U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determination shall be required prior
to the issuance of a permit for any regulated activity within the wetland protection district. If the corps determines that wetlands are present and that a Section 404 permit or letter
of permission is required, no permit for the regulated activity will be issued until the corps has issued the Section 404 permit or letter of permission. If the corps determines that
there are no wetlands present on the proposed development site, Tybee Island may proceed with its normal permitting procedures. (Ord. No. 2000-11, 2-11-2000; Ord. No. Correction to dates,

Friends of the Tybee Theater Regular Board Meeting December 16, 2010 PRESENT: Jane Bridges, John Herdina, Mike Hosti, Sarah Jones, Pam Lappin, Gordon Matthews, Camille Searcy, Dick Smith,
Terry Spatz, Hank Weisman. ABSENT: Jay Burke, Carrie Efird, Keith Gay, Mike Hosti, Cyndi Kinkel, Jim Kluttz GUESTS: Richard Adams, Neil Dawson Gordon Matthews called the meeting to order
at 4:00 pm. Minutes of November 18 approved. Gordon Matthews recognized Neil Dawson, architect, who presented drawings for two options for the tiers and stage. The consensus was the
version with a ramp on the side. This plan would accommodate approximately 224 seats and would be ADA compliant. The stage will be curved and will be slightly wider than the original.
Discussion ensued over maximizing the bathroom space and providing for ADA compliance in a historic building. We can create a wall past the edge of the mezzanine into the theater to
accommodate this; acoustics would be improved and approximately 14 seats would be lost. Dick Smith moved to ask for bids on this plan, Sarah Jones second, unanimous. Neil Dawson will
provide plans for the bathrooms as discussed by the next Board meeting. Pam Lappin reported that the nominating committee is ready to prepare a list of potential new Board members. Gordon
Matthews announced that the Haviland Stillwell event will be December 23. Tickets will only be sold in advance. Pam Lappin reported on membership renewals. About 260 letters will go
out next week to former donors who have not renewed this year. Richard Adams reported that the Casting for Stars events have given the Theater a lot of coverage as well as raising funds.
Casting for Stars final event has extended to January 15. Terry Spatz reported that the Weddings for Warriors event went wonderfully. Gordon Matthews suggested that the military is a
great source for volunteers. Hank Weisman reported that he has negotiated a deal with Montana Skies for an April 29 concert. Jane Bridges asked for consideration on changing the Thursday
