Has it been almost 300 years already?
The City and Chatham County are inviting you to an important planning process meeting concerning Savannah's Tricentennial Plan, on Tuesday, at 6 p.m. on February 22, 2011, at the Coastal Georgia Center.
In 2002, the Savannah Mayor and Aldermen and Chatham County Commissioners launched an ambitious project, the Tricentennial Plan, which includes a long-range Comprehensive Plan and an updated zoning ordinance for the City of Savannah and Unincorporated Chatham County. The Compressive Plan was adopted in 2006 and identifies our community’s goals through 2033 – the 300th anniversary of Savannah.
At the five-year mark, it’s time to report on our progress, review our goals, and identify new goals. A challenging economy, an aging population, an obesity epidemic, finite energy resources, climate change ….all of these this things need to be addressed in this reevaluation process.
You are invited to join our effort to help shape future policies on land use, economic development, historic and cultural resources, transportation, and other critical community issues such as the relationship between urban planning and community health.
This flyer from the city has all the timely details. (click to enlarge)

Refuse Savannah's Garbage Fines!
The City has begun cracking down on ne'er-do-well taxpayers who leave their trash cans out
past the stated time. Forget, or leave them out too long, and you will receive a $15.00 fine that will be attached to your water bill.
City regulations state that "carts should be placed at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on the morning of scheduled collection, but no earlier than 5:00 p.m. the day before collection and removed by 7:00 p.m. the day of collection with the exception of holidays." This applies to both garbage and recycling carts.
Here is a copy of the ticket you will receive, courtesy of one of your neighbors who has already been fined,
and a copy of the 2011 garbage and recycling pick-up schedule.
The ticket can be enlarged to see the extensive list of violations you could possibly commit, as well as the necessary contact info for the Savannah Sanitation Bureau.

Love them? Then leash them!
Neighbors continue to report unleashed dogs running around in Fairway Oaks. This presents a safety hazard for the animals, potential legal consequences for the owners, and is a violation of Savannah city ordinances.
Who's awesome? The responsible pet owner, that's who.
If you do see a dog running free, inform the owner immediately (if it's known to you - we are a community after all) or call Animal Control at 351-6750 or the City at 311.
Remember, every good dog has a great master.
The Savannah leash laws read:
Sec. 9-5022. Restrictions on dogs running at large.
It shall be unlawful for any dog to be on the streets, lanes, highways, roads or squares of the city, or loose on vacant lots or unenclosed lots, so that he may freely have access to the streets, lanes, highways, roads or squares of the city, unless such dog is held firmly on a leash held by a person. It shall be the duty of any owner or possessor or any person who harbors or keeps any dog to confine securely the same within the limits of his own premises and not to permit such dog to run or have access to run the streets, lanes, highways, roads or squares or parks of the city except as above set forth or for hunting, field trials and the working of said dogs.
It shall be unlawful for any dog owner to keep or have within the city a dog which habitually or repeatedly chases, snaps at, or attacks pedestrians, bike riders or conducts itself so as to be a public nuisance. To effect the impounding of such a dog, if necessary, the animal control officer shall have the right to muzzle or employ such other methods as may be reasonably necessary to impound such animal.
(Code 1977, § 9-5022)
Sec. 9-5023. Notification regarding tag requirement.
Where any dog is found within the city, without having a license tag as hereby required, it shall be the duty of the humane officer to issue a citation and subpoena for violation of this article.
(Code 1977, § 9-5023)
Sec. 9-5024. Impoundment of dogs--Authorized.
Any dog found upon the streets, lanes, highways, roads or squares of the city, without the corporate limits of any municipality therein, in violation of this article, shall be caught by the humane officer or his assistant and impounded. The humane officer or his assistant shall have the specific right to enter upon any unenclosed private property to secure capture of any dog in violation of this article.
(Code 1977, § 9-5024)
Sec. 9-5025. Same--Duty of humane officer.
Upon the failure of a person to comply with the notice given him as provided under this article within 24 hours after receiving same or should the person in charge of the premises upon which an unlicensed dog is found disclaim ownership of such dog, by himself or any member of his household when so notified, it shall thereupon become the duty of the humane officer to go upon the premises and take charge of and impound the dog.
(Code 1977, § 9-5025)
Sec. 9-5026. Same--Dogs kept three days.
Any dog impounded under the provisions of this article shall be kept for three days in some convenient place, to be known as the dog pound or humane shelter.

If El Paso gets its way, there will be an additional fifty-eight loaded LNG trucks going out and fifty-eight empty LNG trucks coming into Savannah on DeRenne every day. That makes 116 tanker trucks per day on roads that are already crowded.
