COMPREHENSIVE PLAN 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Special thanks to Dick Newbern, Grants Coordinator, Glynn County Community Development Department, who served as project supervisor and who helped guide the project to a successful conclusion. Mr. Newbern helped guide the survey and coordinated project tasks with Quatrefoil Consulting, providing tremendous assistance and moral support throughout the duration of the project We would also like to extend a special thanks to the Glynn County GIS Department, especially P. Hunter Key, who provided us with quality community base maps for the field survey. This survey was greatly enhanced through the generous cooperation of many individuals in Glynn County. They provided information about their residences and business establishments, shared their personal histories, recounted memories of their neighborhoods, and occasionally gave impromptu tours of the interior of their buildings.

The survey will identify all historically significant buildings, structures, and sites located within the unincorporated sections of Glynn County and will serve as an update to the c1996 Glynn County Historic Resources Survey (also conducted by Quatrefoil Consulting of Savannah, Georgia) through the inclusion of all relevant historic resources built on or before 1960. The survey, which will form the basis for all future preservation planning in the county, will also make up the historic resources component of the Glynn County Comprehensive Plan as well as the planning component for the Coastal Comprehensive Plan. The survey was funded through a grant from the Georgia DNR Coastal Zone Management Coastal Incentive Program and matched in part by the Glynn County Board of Commissioners. All phases of the survey were conducted by Robert A. Ciucevich of Quatrefoil Consulting in consultation with Dick Newbern, Grants Coordinator, Glynn County Community Development Department. Glynn County Historic Resources Survey Area 8 SECTION 2: METHODOLOGY Survey procedures outlined in the Georgia Historic Resources Survey Manual provided by the Historic Preservation Division were followed throughout the Glynn County Historic Resources Survey Update. The surveyor conducted a preliminary area analysis field survey of the survey area during which the different types of historic properties, locations of their major concentrations, and general periods and patterns of development of the historic resources were identified. Following this, an intensive field survey was performed in which all properties deemed to be 50 years or older were photographed, its location marked on a USGS Quadrangle map, and a Georgia Historic Resource Survey form completed. Those resources that suffered a significant loss of integrity were excluded from the survey. Following the field survey, all data and digital photos were input in NAHRGIS, the Natural, Archeological, and Historic Resources Geographic Information Systems online data base. All data and digital photos resulting from this survey can be viewed by logging onto the NAHRGIS website, www.itos.uga.edu/nahrgis. Historical information for the preparation of the developmental history, as well as the background information of the individual properties, was obtained through research at the Brunswick-Glynn County Regional Library, Georgia Historical Society, Glynn County Courthouse (plat maps and records), and the Live Oak Branch of the Chatham-Effingham County Regional Library System. The Glynn County Tax Assessor’s website was used extensively in assessing the date of construction of each resource. When available, Sanborn Fire Insurance Maps were also consulted in determining the date of construction, type of construction, as well as other relevant information. A number of local informant interviews were conducted as well. While it is possible that a historic property may have been inadvertently omitted from this survey, whether as a result of physical changes that have obscured its historic character or due to borderline age, the surveyor believes that the vast majority of historic resources located within the survey area have been documented by this project. 9 SECTION 3: SURVEY RESULTS A total of 1387 historic resources were surveyed during the Glynn County Historic Resources Survey Update. A survey index listing the survey field number, Georgia Historic Resources Survey Resource ID number, historic name (if applicable), address, academic style, academic type, construction date, and individual National Register eligibility can be found in the appendices. The survey is broken up into four main parts comprised of the three principal islands – Jekyll Island, St. Simons Island, and Sea Island – and the remainder of the unincorporated sections of the county, hereafter referred to as “the Mainland.” Two resources surveyed on Little St. Simons Island have been included as part of the St. Simons section of the survey. Survey Results - Overview The Mainland: 810 historic resources were surveyed in this section of the survey area. About 1/3 of the historic resources were found in outlying rural areas of the county. Most of these resources were spread out and isolated. However, quite a few of these resources were found in rural communities such as Sterling, Blythe Island, Brookman, and Everett. The remaining 2/3 of the historic resources were located on the outskirts of Brunswick. Many of these resources are situated in moderate to densely populated industrial, commercial and or suburban areas, and along major highways. Historic Resources Lost Since 1996 It appears that most of the historic resources surveyed during the 1996 historic resources survey remain extant and are represented in the new survey update. Unfortunately, one of the most significant and unique historic resources identified during the 1996 survey – the Atlantic Refining Company (ARCO) Workers Village – was demolished in 2008. Of the 85 historic resources included in the 1996 survey, only two original workers cottages remain in the “white” section of the company village. Other related resources that remain include the ARCO Methodist Church, the ARCO Primary School, and the ARCO Public School (“colored”). Although a dozen workers cottages in the “colored” section of the village remain intact (and are included as part of the survey update), these resources appear to be in danger as the county has targeted the area for redevelopment. New Historic Resources Added to Inventory Since the completion of the 1996 Glynn County Historic Resources Survey, which was limited to historic resources built on or before 1946, two major mid- 20th 10 century housing types – the American small house (or post WW II house) and the ranch house – have attained the 50 year age requirement for consideration of historical significance. The housing boom that occurred during this period appears to have had the most impact on the Mainland as 323 resources surveyed – or 39.8% - date from this period. Although many of these resources are scattered throughout the county, several hundred are concentrated in 1940s and 1950s era subdivisions that were built in close proximity to Brunswick’s industrial areas – such as Brunswick Villa (c1942) near ARCO and Highland Park (c1957), Glendale Gardens (late 1950s) and several other “mid-modern” subdivisions in Glyndale – as well as high concentrations of mid-modern subdivisions south of GLYNCO and adjacent the Brunswick Country Club – such as Country Club Park (c1950) and Beverly Shores (c1954). Because of the sheer numbers of American small house and ranch houses built during the 1940s and 1950s, respectively, a representative number of examples where surveyed within identifiable and distinct subdivision developments where it was deemed most appropriate. Several of these subdivisions appear to be eligible for listing in the National Register

  • Jekyll Island History
    Island History Enjoy The Unspoiled Natural Beauty Of Our Jekyll Island Resort And Club Our historic Jekyll Island resort and club is located off the Georgia coast, midway between Savannah, Georgia and Jacksonville, Florida. Situated between St. Simons Island and Cumberland Island, Jekyll is a short drive from the town of Brunswick and boasts of a salt marsh characteristic of the southeastern seaboard and a beach with the Atlantic Ocean lapping its shores. At 5,700 acres and a 33% limit on business development, Jekyll is the smallest of Georgia’s barrier islands, yet resplendent with moss draped live oaks, marshes and remote beaches with natural sand dunes and indigenous wildlife. Jekyll Island was purchased by the state of Georgia in 1947, and it became the Jekyll Island State Park. It was operated under the state park system until 1950, when it was transferred to the auspices of the Jekyll Island Authority (JIA), more able to operate as a business. The JIA board of directors is appointed by the governor of Georgia. Native American Settlement The mystique surrounding this Jekyll Island luxury resort is not limited to its reputation for being an opulent playground for the nation’s elite during the turn of the century. Jekyll Island itself is ripe with a diverse history all its own. As early as 2,500 B.C., Jekyll Island has been attracting visitors, beginning with small groups of hunter-gatherers seeking the island’s abundant natural resources. They were followed in 1540 A.D. by the Guale Indians, a tribe known for inhabiting a number of Georgia’s barrier islands.

  • Analysis of Shoreline Change for Jekyll and Sapelo Islands, Georgia
    ANALYSIS OF SHORELINE CHANGE FOR JEKYLL AND SAPELO ISLANDS, GEORGIA WITH GIS TECHNIQUES by BEI TU Under the Direction of E. Lynn Usery ABSTRACT The objective of this research is to use geographic information systems (GIS) to quantify shoreline position change during 1954 and 1999 for Sapelo Island and Jekyll Island in Georgia, USA. Shorelines from multiple years were manually traced from digital raster graphics, aerial photographs, digital orthophoto quad quadrangles and a lidar image using ArcView GIS software, Version 3.3. This study showed that the northern ends of Jekyll and Sapelo islands are eroding, whereas the southern ends are accreting. Mann-Whitney test (two-tailed) indicated that the mean accretion rates and annual change rates (regardless of direction) of the two islands differed statistically during 1954-1974,1974-1993 and 1954-1999. The mean recession rates were significantly different during 1954-1974 and 1974-1993, but not so for 1954-1999. Human activity exerted a heavy influence on the shoreline change. Quantifying shoreline change provides useful data on the effects of engineering structures on erosion and is important for coastal zone management and planning.

  • 2010 303(D) List Due to Standard Attainment, Identified Pollutant Or Listing Error
    The State of South Carolina’s 2010 Integrated Report Part I: Listing of Impaired Waters INTRODUCTION The South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (Department) developed this priority list of waterbodies pursuant to Section §303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act (CWA) and Federal Regulation 40 CFR 130.7 last revised in 1992. The listing identifies South Carolina waterbodies that do not currently meet State water quality standards after application of required controls for point and nonpoint source pollutants. Use attainment determinations were made using water quality data collected from 2004-2008. Pollution severity and the classified uses of waterbodies were considered in establishing priorities and targets. The list will be used to target waterbodies for further investigation, additional monitoring, and water quality improvement measures, including Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). Over the past three decades, impacts from point sources to waterbodies have been substantially reduced through point source controls achieved via National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits. Since 1990, steady progress in controlling nonpoint source impacts has also been made through implementation of South Carolina’s Nonpoint Source Management Program. In conjunction with TMDL development and implementation, the continued expansion and promotion of these and other state and local water quality improvement programs are expected to be effective in reducing the number of impaired waterbodies. In compliance with 40 CFR 25.4(c), the Department, beginning February 8, 2010, issued a public notice in statewide newspapers, to ensure broad notice of the Department's intent to update its list of impaired waterbodies. Public input was solicited.
