The first concern with this project is that there are no handrails along the crossover, which is a safety issue that needs to be addressed immediately. It is my understanding that this is a private crossover but that does not exempt it from building regulations of the City of Tybee Island. In addition,the constructed grade on this crossover appears to be abnormally steep and at such an angle that would endanger the safety of those who use the crossover.There are two options that could abate this concern: reconstruct this crossover in such a way as to significantly reduce the slope or submit a letter from the Tybee Straits Homeowner's Association that releases the City of Tybee Island from any liability with this project if it is the will of the association to maintain the crossover in its current condition. If you have questions, I can be reached at 912-786-4573 ext. 107 or via email at ilvnn @citvoftvbee.org.

This project must comply with all other Federal, State, and local statutes, ordinances and regulations." The applicant must go through your office and meet your requirements. I discussed the ramp and steepness. I told them they could get a better slope if the lengthened the ramp down the existing sidewalk, but they did not want to. I told him our law does not speak to ADA compliance but the City of Tybee may have requirements. I told him that many times local laws are more strict than state. If you require the removal or redesign of the ramp I will need to work with him to get a new authorization from the state. Keep me in the loop. Ann >>> Dianne Otto <Dotto @cityoftybee.org> 8/11/2010 12:38 PM >>> Ann, Attached is the letter of permission for the crosswalk at Tybee Straits. The work has been completed. From the City's view, the ramp on the landward side is extremely steep and the handrails do not meet code because they are too wide for someone to grip.The LOP says the crosswalk could be used by motorized wheelchairs for handicapped persons but coming down that incline would be very dangerous.The reason for my email is to ask if DNR-approved projects are exempt from building codes? We are in a tough position because the City permits the work but it is not built to code so it can't pass inspection. Is there a disclaimer that the DNR could provide to the City that would exempt DNR-approved projects from the building codes that the City of Tybee Island has adopted and enforces?

The Georgia Environmental Protection Division administers the rules. In most cases, the rules require both the owner and the involved contractors to assure the portion of the building involved in the project is thoroughly inspected by an Accredited Asbestos Inspector for materials that contain asbestos; and the removal of the asbestos before renovation, wrecking, or demolition begins almost without exemption. Georgia EPD requires a completed demolition notification from be submitted 10 workings days in advance even if no asbestos is present in the building. Further guidance for regulatory compliance and contact telephone numbers are provided by the brochures entitled Asbestos & Renovation and Asbestos and Demolition. Other environmental issues such as asbestos removal techniques, lead abatement, ground contamination, or unusual site conditions may have EPD regulations that could affect the project.

"SPUD"WOODWARD COMMISSIONER DIRECTOR January 8, 2010 Steve Crum PO Box 1561 Tybee Island, Georgia 31328 RE: Letter of Permission (LOP), Shore Protection Act Permit#162,Extension of existing Community Crosswalk, Tybee Straits, 11th Place, Tybee Island, Chatham County, Georgia Dear Mr. Crum: This Letter of Permission (LOP) is in response to your recent request to extend the crosswalk at 11th Place, Tybee Island, Chatham County, Georgia. Shore Protection Committee Permit#162 authorized the construction and maintenance of the crosswalk currently existing at Tybee Straits. The proposed work includes the extension of the crosswalk with some alteration needed at the seaward landing of the crosswalk to extend the crosswalk beyond the dune field and onto the dry sand beach just seaward of the toe of the most seaward dune. The plan includes a very slight angling northward of the seaward landing to avoid a larger vegetated dune. The City's trash can and pole currently in the dunes will be relocated to the seaward toe of the dune. The crosswalk will be elevated at a minimum of three feet above the existing sand dunes. The proposed work will be done from the crosswalk using hand tools only and no stock piling of materials is proposed in the dunes. No motorized vehicles are proposed on the crosswalk structure, except for motorized wheelchairs for handicapped persons. Staff has conducted an onsite inspection of the crosswalk. The dunes have increased in height over time and the crosswalk, although serviceable, is no longer elevated above the dunes or dune vegetation. The crosswalk will provide access for the residents of Tybee Straits to enjoy the public trust resources of the state while protecting the dynamic dune field. The Department authorizes the proposed maintenance and extension of the crosswalk located at Tybee Straits as depicted by the attached drawings and description. The Department authorizes the elevation and extension and considers this construction necessary for normal maintenance in full compliance with Shore Protection Committee Permit#162.

Any incidental impacts to the dunes or vegetation must be restored to pre-project vegetated and topographic conditions, any backfilling must be beach quality and obtained from an upland source and not from the beach. The elevation of the crosswalk must be three feet above the dune vegetation to allow for sand movement. The crosswalk must be extended beyond the most seaward dune and end landward of the ordinary high water mark. All construction must comply with Department of Natural Resources Sea Turtle Guidelines. Please contact staff to meet you on site and determine the exact landing of the crosswalk on the seaward side of the dune immediately prior to construction. This Letter of Permission is not meant to exempt the above referenced activity from future environmental laws. This project must comply with all other Federal, State, and local statutes, ordinances and regulations. If you have any questions or concerns about this project feel free to contact Ann Thran at 912- 617-6310 or by e-mail at ann_thran @dnr.state.ga.us. Sincerely, Brad Gane Assistant Director Ecological Services Section CC: Jonathan Lynn, Planning and Zoning Manager November 11,2009 Karl Burgess Georgia Department of Natural Resources Coastal Resources Division One Conservation Way Brunswick, Georgia 31520 Dear Mr. Burgess, I represent Tybee Straits Homeowners Association in asking for this permit to modify an already existing sand dune cross over that is need of repair. There are 20 homes in the Tybee Straits community. Tybee Straits is located in Chatham County, 11th Place, Tybee Island, Georgia. Tybee Straits has a private community walk-over to the beach. A portion of the existing walk-over is in need in repair and/or is covered in sand. Two years ago the largest portion of the walk-over was resurfaced and this will be the final leg of the project. The current project will include building a new walk way over the existing one. The new walk way will be above the dune and extend to the outer most sand dune towards the beach. The original foot print of the walk way will not change. The walk way will be approximately five foot wide with a railing on each side. On the west side, the construction will be attached to the existing walk way. On the eastern side the walk way will ramp down to the dune where numerous posts are located that City of Tybee Island has garbage cans attached to. This is considerably above the high tide mark and would be commensurate with other walk ways nearby. Enclosed you will find a drawing showing a section of new walk way that is approximately 106 feet long,that as stated will be above an existing walk way that is nearly totally covered with sand. The existing walk way will not be removed and the dunes will not be disturbed. As depicted in the drawing, an additional 45 feet of ramp will then lead down to the edge of the beach. I have enclosed a check for$100.00 application fee and would request that if any questions arise I can be contacted at 912-232-3716 my office or cell number 912-213- 2058. Thank you for your attention in this matter. x. y, `�•'ti"�`'�rum(Tybee Straits Homeowners Association ReCEIVED NOV 2 3 2,049 GA DAR ! HMR zt zee- 2.for OF Got- 351 c-.
