Proposed zoning ordinance changes that would increase
setback requirements and limit the size and
number ot bedrooms aiiowed in new homes built on
Holden Beach met with mixed reactions from residents
I and developers at a public hearing last Tuesday night.
If approved, the changes inat are designed to cut
down on septic tank ground pollution and greater density
on the beach may become the "most stringent" standards
placed on builders along Brunswick County's
coast Holden Beach Planning Board Chairman Alan
Holden, a developer, acknowledged the requirements
would exceed the building limitations of both Long and
Ocean Isle beaches.
Following the public hearing last week, the planning
uottili uciayeu action on ihv proposed ChcUlgCU Until
its February meeting. If accepted by the planning
board, the zoning amendments would then go before the
town council for a public hearing and final approval.
Under the new amendments, the minimum side
yard setbacks for all homes would be increased from
the present five feet to seven feet. A roof overhang
cvuiu cmciiu up iu iwo ieei, or one ioot on eacn side, into
the yard setback area.

Ing Regulations C
Several restrictions would also be added to a section
of the ordinance labeled, "Building Limitations,"
including 2 form'ilo for limiting ths total number of
bedrooms allowed on a lot. The total number allowed
would not exceed the bedroom limit established by the
Brunswick Cnnntv WonHH nonar4??nnt
v uxjnti UMU?<
Bedrooms would bo limited to the tnta! dry lot area
(area lying above the mean high water line) divided by
1,500 square feet. For example, on a 50x100 square foot
lot, or 5,000 square feet divided by 1,500, three bedrooms
would be allowed.
The new ordinance would also limit the heated area
of a home to 30 percent of the dry lot area, while
bedrooms could not exceed 40 percent of the heated
area of a home. A heated area is defined in the ordinance
as "that area within any building which is
eiiuwcU aim capable of being heated either by means
of a central system or by use of a permanent or temporary
room heater."
A bedroom would be defined as any room having an
area of 70 square feet or more, other than "living, dining,
kitchen, bathroom, utility, closet or storage areas.
According to Town Manager Bob Buck, the
bedroom limitations were added to the proposed on
dinance to help control septic tank ground pollution

"which Is directly related to the number of people housed
in a defined dwelling."
"We nave found very quickly that a three-bedroom
house can easily become a four-beuioum house," Euek
said.
According to planning board Vice-Chairman Jim
Fournier. the proposed ordinance changes "reflect as
closely as we could make it the inrait of the henio m
commissioners." The planning board has been drafting
the ordinance since April 1984.
Without a town sewer system, it is important that
the town act now to control ground pollution. Founder
said. He defended the bedroom limitations that would
produce smaller homes by adding, "You can put 25 people
in s bus, but not In a Yolkswagon."
Several developers and builders in the audience of
nhout 20 sDoke out against the bedroom limitations, but
many agreed with the seven-foot side yard setback requirement.
Developer Virgil Roberts suggested the board
recommend the seven-foot setback to the town council
and "then build all the house you want. The health
department regulates bedrooms."
According to Hoiden, l,ong Beach maintains an

back is five feet. Neither town has established bedroom
limitations, he added. When llolden took a poll of those
present, 13 residents raised their hands against the ordir.sr.C0
ch2H?SS whil? three favored the restrictions
"We want bigger homes on these expensive lots.
Are we going to be penalized?" asked developer
Michael Hobbs. "They've got their home in heaven and
they don't want anyone eise to come."
"The bottom line of what you're talking is dollars,"
Founder replied. "We didn't take that approach. This is
the best thing for Holden Beach."
Builder Don Clemninns said he was against cutting
down the size of homes on the island now when "sooner
or later there's going to have to be a sewer system put
in."
In speaking for the tougher restrictions, resident
Sid Swarts said that sooner or later the increasing
number ot sepuc lanxs would pollute iiie cuimis. in
regard to density levels, he noted that without the setbacks,
a fire could wipe out a whole row of houses in the
future.
Founder believes the town will be told it can no
longer build houses on the beach if the health department
discovers pollution in the town's canals, which are
routinely sampled.
