Ocean Isle Beach Commissioners
voted Monday to recommend that a
nursing home proposed for
Brunswick County be built
"southwest of Supply."
They also heard good news from
Mayor (.aDane Bullington regarding
a $1,000 federal demoasiraiion giant
that is needed to qualify the town to
receive more than $400,000 in stale
clean water bonds for construction of
the town's sewer system.
Two state officials have written the
Atlanta regional office of the
Economic Development Administration
saying they arc in favor of the
town receiving the $1,000 demonstration
grant from the federal government.

of Policy and Planning.
Questions were raised late last
year on the town's eligibility for
federal grants of this type because of
federal policies that discourage use
of federal money in the development
of barrier islands.
The federal grant is necessary for
the to-.vr. to obtain the ,Tlnre ?;i7Pnlile
state grant, which could have a
significant impact on the cost of the
sewer system.

county have sought the town's endorsement
of their plans, Ms. Fox
said before making her motion.
While not wanting to endorse a particular
company, she said she would
like to see the facility located in the
Supply-Shallotte area, "somewhere
south of the Supply hospital." She
said that location would be helful for
doctors to visit, since most have offices
between the hospital and
Shallottc.
Mayor I-aDane Bullington added
that the southwest location would put
patients closer to family members
and other visitors.
Four projects propose to locate
south of the hospital if they are the
one approved. Three would locate in
or near Shallottc, the fourth on a
tract adjoining the hospital.
After a 15-minute closed door session,
the board voted to move to permanent
full-time status probationary
employees Kutliy Tucker, a clerical
worker, and T.D. Roberson, building
inspector. They also voted to follow
the town's personnel policy and stop
providing full-time benefits such as
insurance for employees who have
gone from full-time to^ part-time
status.
They also amended the town
budget to allow revenues of $12,S00 in
local matching funds needed for a
match of the same size the town
hopes to obtain from the state. Town
Cierk Aiberia Taturn saiu the town
wasn't sure yet what the source of the

Pier, for instance, would have had to

Iyosses due to flooding are not
covered under a standard
homeowners policy.
When flooded during a hurricane or
a winter storm, residents of unincorporated
areas of Brunswick County,
for example, presently can protect
their home and its contents through
the "emergency" phase of the National
Flood Insurance Program.
Under the "emergency" phase,
singie-famiiy homes can be insured
up to $35,000 on the building and up to
$10,000 on the contents. These
amounts would increase to $185,000
on building and $tHi,uuu on contents
under the program's "regular"
phase, which Brunswick County
could soon enter.
Flood iasurance is required by law
in order to get federally secured
financing to buy, build or improve
structures in flood hazard areas of a
participating community. This in

loans, as well as most conventional
mortgage loans.
County Coverage
Presently 3,612 federallysubsidized
flood insurance policies
are in effect in Bruaswick County,
with coverage of more than $232
million.
The breakdown is as follows: unincorporated
areas of Bruaswick County,
233 policies, $9 million coverage:
Caswell Beach, 51 policies, $2
million; "olden Beach, S75 policies,
$57 million; Long Beach, B26 policies.
$51 million; Yaupon Beach, 81
policies, $5.6 million; Suaset Beach,
554 policies, $39 million; Ocean Isle
Beach, 960 policies, $67 million;
Shallottc, 8 policies. $235,000; and
Southport, 24 policies, $1.4 million.
To continue in the flood insurance
program, Brunswick County must
enact more stringent measures to
protect life and property from future
flooding. Insurance rates are then
based on the actual flood risk as identified
by the flood insurance study.
The changes will affect both the
building code and Die subdivision ordinance
and would prohibit development
in specific areas where any
development would increase the
ttiKxt luizitrtl.
Specifically, county conimissioners
must adopt and enforce
floodplain management ordinances
that meet at least the minimum standards
for flood hazard reduction set
forth by EEMA. The ordinances must
comply with regular flood insurance
program requirements ttiat are basfM?
on Hontl h;?7;?nis
and which apply to new and substantially
improved structures.
The ordinances must reserve the
channel of rivers and streams and
the adjacent floodplain so that they
can handle the discharge of a base
flood, or a 100-year flood.

They must designate part of the P
floodplain as a "regulatory IV
floodway." FEMA divides the area of C
the 100-year flood into a "floodway" C
and "floodway fringe." S
The floodway is the channel of a T
strpam nln?c that nnrtinn r?f thp
floodplain that must be kept free of
development or en- d:
croachments?such as artificial ol
fill-in order for the channel to carry 01
the 100-year flood without a substan- ft
tial increase in the flood height, b
FEMA sets a minimum standard for fl
this of one foot provided that "hazar- (I
dous'' channel speeds are not proauc- it
ed. p
As an example, fioodways iden- ^
tified for Calabash Creek range from
50 feet to 416 feet wide at various &
points along the channel. ?
The "fringe" is that area between ^
the floodway and the boundary of the ^
100-year flood. It includes that part of ^
the floodplain that can be completely
obstructed without increasing the
water-surface elevation of the
100->ear flood more than a foot at any
point. [J
Tiie study examines the extent and s
severity of flood hazards in the coun- n

A detailed study of storm surge

FEMA maps use the flooding bounaries
of the 100-year flood (the type
t flood expected to occur at least
ace in 100 years) as the base flood
>r management purposes. These
oundaries identify areas of "special
ood iiazard" that would be iiunated
by a 100-year storm and are
ieuuiicu on insurance maps by the
refix "V" or "A".
"V" is the descriptive for "coastal
igh hazard zones." areas subject to
ave actions such as those near the
ceanfront. Structures in this zone
rust be built on piles or piers and inurance
rates are higher than those
i "A" zones with otherwise identical
ood hazard factors.
Changes In Building
In these two flood-prone zones, eurent
program regulations require
lat all new construction be elevated
o that the first floor, includipv haselent,
