(drink) license at 112 W. Broughton Street, which is located between Barnard
Street and Whitaker Street in District 1. (Existing business/owner)
Recommend approval.
10. Jitendrakumar G. Patel for G Dada-1, Inc., requesting to transfer a beer and
wine (package) license at 8408 White Bluff Road from Pravin Patel, which
has a 2013 beer and wine (package) license and is located between

ownership/management) Recommend approval.

Maddie’s Pizza Joint, requesting a beer and wine (drink) license with Sunday
sales at 7805 Abercorn Street, which is located between White Bluff Road

ZONING HEARINGS
13. Metropolitan Planning Commission (12-000277-ZA), recommending to add a
“Street Classification Map for Announcement Signs” and to amend Sections
8-3112(c)(5)c, 8-3112(d)(3) and 8-3112(q) of the Savannah Zoning Ordinance
to allow announcement signs in specified zoning districts, subject to
limitations. Provided that certain limitations and conditions are part of the
Ordinance requirements, manual changeable copy and electronically
controlled announcement signs can be an effective means of communication
for the travelling public and the community as well. The proposed
amendment has such limitations and allows for a new type of signage within
additional zoning districts consistent with other commercial districts as well as
for certain nonresidential uses in other zoning districts. (Continued from April
18, 2013 for a workshop on May 2, 2013.) Recommend approval.
-3-
14. Aurash Kheradmandi, Agent for Abraxas Development LLC, Owner (12-
001981), requesting to rezone 300 Drayton Street from RIP-A (Residential-
Medium Density) to RIP-C (Residential-Medium Density). The Metropolitan
Planning Commission (MPC) recommends approval. The property contains
an existing commercial building which houses office uses on the second and
third levels. All the adjacent properties within the same block house either
office or retail uses. The existing R-I-P-A zoning classification and the
proposed R-I-P-C classification allow a mix of residential and nonresidential
uses as is typical in a downtown area. The RIP-C zoning district allows for
restaurants, hotels and bars. The R-I-P-C zoning classification exists
immediately west and south of the subject property and uses similar to the
applicant's proposed use currently operate within those districts. (Continued
from May 2, 2013.) Recommend approval.
15. Ryan Thompson, Agent for W.H. Gross Construction Company (13-001337-
ZA), requesting to rezone 1108 E. Anderson Street from R-4 (Four-Family
Residential) to R-I-P-B (Planned Residential-Medium Density). MPC
recommends approval. The proposed zoning is consistent with the Tri-
Centennial Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map. However, the desire
to rehabilitate the existing school buildings on the subject site for uses other
than a school is hampered by the development standards contained within
the existing R-4 zoning district. One alternative use that would be appropriate
for the subject buildings and site is multi-family residential. However, a more
urban zoning classification would be required to allow multi-family to be
developed at a greater density than that permitted within an R-4 zoning
district. (The petitioner has requested First and Second Reading of the
rezoning ordinance in the attached letter.) Recommend approval.
16. Harold B. Yellin, Agent for the Kessler Collection (13-001281-ZA), requesting
to rezone 400 and 500 W. River Street from I-L (Light-Industrial) and B-B
(Bayfront-Business) to B-B. MPC recommends approval. The proposed
rezoning is consistent with the Tri-Centennial Comprehensive Plan Future
Land Use Map. The proposed B-B classification would create an opportunity
to redevelop a significant property along the Savannah waterfront in a manner
consistent with the character of the surrounding area. The Downtown future
land use designation is defined as areas which are within the traditional
Central Business District and include such uses as retail, commercial, office
and entertainment. The proposed zoning is consistent with this designation.
The B-B zoning classification would allow the type of development that is
desirous for this area of the city and help to provide a compatible anchor for
the west end of River Street. Recommend approval.
-4-
17. William and Mathilda Hartley, Owners/Agents for Hartley Rental Properties
(13-001162-ZA), requesting to rezone the commercial portion of 3107 Waters
Avenue from R-6 (Single-Family Residential) to BN-1 (Neighborhood
Business-Limited). MPC recommends approval. The proposed rezoning is
consistent with the Tri-Centernnial Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
Map. The requested rezoning will conform to the existing use and will allow
separation of the existing residential use from the non-conforming commercial
use on the same parcel. Recommend approval.
18. Jeff Halliburton, Agent for Lewis Commercial Properties, LLC,
Petitioner/Owner (13-001209-ZA), requesting an amendment to the Future
Land Use Map to change a portion of 1426 Chatham Parkway from a
Commercial-Suburban classification to a Residential-General classification
and to rezone the property from PUD-B-R (Planned Unit Development-
Regional Business) to PUD-M-18 (Planned Unit Development-Multifamily, 18
units per net acre). MPC recommends approval. The proposed rezoning is
not consistent with the Tri-Centennial Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
Map. An Amendment to the Future Land Use Map is recommended for
approval. The requested rezoning will establish a zoning district that has a
use and density compatible with the existing and planned used in the
immediate vicinity. Recommend approval.

an underground sewer main. The proposed fence will be constructed within
the easement and will consist of brick piers with faux iron panels.

be followed, all installations must meet all federal, state and local codes, and
the property owner will assume all responsibility for injuries or damages to

Park and E. Waldburg Streets. The petitioner plans to install two (2) awnings
each 63” wide by 30” in height with projections of 36”. The awnings will
provide approximately 7’-0” vertical clearance. Typically 8’-0” vertical
clearance is required, however for this particular awning, specifically due to
the building height, staff recommends approval as submitted.

Development Services. None of the City departments have objections to the
request, however the following conditions must be agreed to: the property
owner assumes all responsibility for injuries or damages to third parties as a

22. Christopher Page – Petition 120446, requesting the City declare surplus the
vacant lot located at 0 E. 36th Street, PIN 2-0064 -19-014. The subject
property is approximately 30’ x 92’, located on the north side of 36th Street
between Reynolds and Atlantic Streets, legally described as Lot 13 Blk E
Glatigny Wd, and adjacent to Mr. Page’s residence at 650 E. 36th Street.
Mr. Page is interested in acquiring the vacant lot in order to increase his side
yard. He notes there is a lot of “foot” traffic passing through the subject
property as pedestrians cut between two vacant houses on 35th Street and
use the vacant lot as a collection area for trash. The City originally acquired
this property in 1944 via quitclaim deed. The City will offer the property via
Request for Proposal (RFP).
Public Works and Water Resources, Development Services, Park and Tree,
Housing, Leisure Services, Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police
Department, and Savannah Fire and Emergency Services have reviewed the
petition and there are no objections to the petitioner’s request.

map and photo are attached.) Recommend approval.

when its premises at 225 E. River Street flooded on February 18, 2013. The
flooding was caused by a leak in a City water line. Water Resources has

RESOLUTIONS

to authorize the execution of an easement to Georgia Power Company on
and across City-owned property located at 102 Jim Benton Court, PIN 2-
1016-02-069, for installation and continued maintenance of a new overhead
transmission line. Georgia Power Company (GPC) is requesting an
easement across City property for the installation of a new overhead
transmission line. The subject property is a 3.3 acre lot located at 102 Jim
Benton Court, more specifically, on the west side of Benton Boulevard just
south of Jimmy Deloach Parkway. The parcel was originally purchased by
the City for a future fire station.
Georgia Power is installing the overhead transmission line to supply the new
Crossroads Business Park Substation. The line and associated two (2) poles
are planned to be located within an existing 40’ utility corridor which runs
along the eastern property line and as recorded in the original subdivision
plat. The request involves .35 acres of the City property. Although there is
legal standing that the easement has been dedicated by plat, GPC would
prefer to get an executed easement and compensate the City at a fair market
value for the easement acreage and the standard easement language. GPC
has agreed to compensate the City $50,000.00. (An aerial photo is attached.)
Recommend approval.
26. Resolution of Support for Romana Riley School Senior Housing Low Income
Housing Tax Credit Application. W.H. Gross, a developer, is seeking a
Resolution of Support from the Mayor and Aldermen for his 2013 low income
housing tax credit application to the Georgia Department of Community
Affairs (DCA). If awarded the tax credits, W.H. Gross will acquire, renovate,
and develop the former Romana Riley School property into 57 affordable
apartments for low income senior citizens. Of the new apartments, 25 will be
-8-
located in the Romana Riley School and annex building as part of an adaptive
reuse while the other 32 will be in a newly constructed building that will face
Henry Street and Waters Avenue just north of the school buildings. W.H.
Gross’ tax credit application does not seek financing from the City of
Savannah or CHSA, Inc. The proposed development of this site is consistent
with the 2013-2017 Consolidated Housing and Community Development Plan
and with the Comprehensive Plan adopted by the City. The renovation of the
historic school structures, which are listed on the National Register of Historic
Places, would help preserve a valuable neighborhood landmark and could be
an asset to both the neighborhood and the Waters Avenue corridor. On April
18, 2013, the Mayor and Aldermen showed their support for the proposed
development on the Romana Riley School property by authorizing the sale of
four vacant City owned lots on the SW corner of Waters Avenue and
Anderson Street to W.H. Gross should his application for 2013 low income
housing tax credits be successful. Recommend approval.

being supported by the bars and could cause window failure if removed and
repairs not completed immediately. Because of this issue and the immediate
need for the window replacement, staff recommends combining the roof
project with the window repairs project. Kern-Coleman will be asked to

project would cause a delay in its completion.
