Renovation Plans Requested By Beulaville Board By Emily Killette A set of plans for the renovation of the old town hall was requested by the Beulaville Board of Com missioners during the May 2 meeting. Members of the citizen renovation committee were advised to present plans and written estimates at the June meeting of the town board. "A set of plans will be needed before a building permit can be issued," Beulaville town commis sioner Elvis Sumner said. "I don't think you can renovate that building (old town hall) for $12,500. 1 think you can tear it down and construct a better building, cheaper." The citizen committee for renovation of the old Beula ville town hall, appointed by the town board, reported a $12,500 estimate to restore the structure at the April meeting ?f the commis sioners. Commissioners S.A. Blizzard and Elvis Sumner had reported a $23,640 esti mate to restore the old town hall and recommended the construction of a new build ing to replace the old struc ture if need existed for additional space, during the February meeting of the town board. Beulaville citizen Sarah Bolin appeared with repre sentation by attorneys Hubert and David Phillips of Kenansville requesting sewer service to property on West Stanford St. Bolin's property includes one dwelling which the Duplin County health department has proposed to condemn unless connected to proper sewage facilities. The home is serviced by a septic tank which was covered when an addition was built onto the house. Attorney David Phillips requested the board service the Bolin property' using Clean Water grant funds earmarked Tor sewer l:JL expansion in the Stanford Street section of Beulaville. Phillips pointed out the Board's lack of action on the sewer project since the $19,655 grant was approved in May of 1982. I have had the opportunity to sell two lots on Stanford St.." Bolin said. ' But. the Farmers Home Administra tion won't approve them without sewer service. And. if the funds are available for the sewer lines, why not use them?" Bolin's real estate on Stanford St. is classified farm property. According to Woody Brin son of McDavid and Asso ciates in Kcnansville. engi neers for the proposed project in the northwest sec tion of Beulaville. the Board of Commissioners held up the job due to the town's lack of matching funds. The total, project was estimated to cost $78,621. Brinson said. The funds obligated to Beulaville under the North Carolina Clean Water grant cover about 25 percent of the project. Included are approximately 3,000 feet of sewer lines and a lift station. The funds are under a three year obligation to the town. Action on Bolin's request was scheduled for the June meeting of the Beulaville' town board. The town commissioners requested Mayor Wilbur Hussey talk with businesses along the intersections of Lee and Smith Streets with Highway 24 about making the areas open to one way traffic only. According to recommendations from the Department of Transporta tion, approximately 10 parking spaces would be eliminated at each intersec tion if two-way traffic con- > tinued to flow through Smith and Lee Streets. Opening the streets to one-way traffic would reduce the number of parking spaces eliminated, Hussey pointed out. 1 RAT CHIKSI *1.89.
