Two Brunswick County Hospital Authority members. I,eo Fulford and George "Buddy" Evans, have signed notarized statements asserting that 1) that Sons and Authority Chairman Robert Sellers asked the authority to give Beverly approval to use the en trance to me nospiiai anu iu nuon up on the hospital water and sewer systems 'and they wouid pay their fair share." Further the two assert in the docu* ment that "we were not informed of the fact thai there were other rest homes proposing to come to this area and at no time did we endorse Beverly Enterprises Corp. over any other company." Beacon coverage of that meeting indicated unanimous endorsement of the Beverly proper.::! by resolution of the members of the authority. Blueprints of the Beverly project were displayed at the meeting. However, last week the Town of Shallotte was denied access to the public record, the minutes of that authority meeting. Town Clerk Cynthia I xmg told the Beacon she was told the minutes hud not been approved, but that she was offered an explanation of any business transacted. The Authority only meets twice a > I'UI.

Also speaking for Autumn was f Warren "Bud" Knapp of the Sunset 1 Beach Taxpayers Association and ^ Aiinda Meares of the North Carolina Shores Property Owners Association. ' Speaking on belialf of Beverly, in I addition to corporation representatives were Kev. Ned Eaddy of ' Brunswick Christian Center and ' John F. Holden of Holden Beach. Eaddy and Holden showed on a map the broad-based support given a ' nursing home location near or at the 1 Supply hospital, listing more than 40 church congregations, the Brunswick County Citizens Association, Brunswick County Christian Businessmen's Association, several towns, fire departments and rescue squads. "We are trying to assure that every ritlvon who gets nursing home care gets every right to life possible," said Jvaddy. Triad Tries Again Jim Hayes of Triad Medical Services, which owns and operates Ocean Trail Convalescent Center, told Cardinal members he hoped the decision had not been narrowed already to "? two-man rare" between Autumn or Beverly because the Southport area needs skilled nursing beds. Ocean Trail lias intermediate and home for the aged beds and can convert un to 10 hods nor ;r for | skilled care. However, he said he was told Dosher Hospital cannot convert any ol lis Dcds to skilled nursing as cardinal suggested it could earlier this month. Letters from the Southport medical community submitted to Cardinal us part of an information packet from Aiitunui Corp. generally suggested the 100 available skilled und intermediate nursing home beds be divided between Sballotte and Southport, generally at 25 to 40 beds for Ocean Trail and 60 to 75 for Autumn v- Orp. rufer System !r share of such costs the same us all ti other customers. o It argues that the raw surface v water taken from the Cape Fear a lUvcr tor treatment is intended io fi supply the entire wnter system, not a specific portion of the county as a alleged by Pfizer. p The county also contends that It ti never has sought to have ITizer u underwrite the economic viability of ii the water system, but "only to pay Its r appropriate share of the casts of the I system. s lite county says Its position since q 1973 is that it will furnish 1'filer its I water requirements "within the water system's capability," not from t a specific phase or pimses. ?

Council members held a final public hearing on the requests last Wednesday night Detore a packed town hall. Four parcels of land would be affected by the zoning changes?three areas along N.C. 179 between I 5c""p2rie's Landing and (hp I Calabash River, and another eight- | acre parcel in Seaside abutting the | Intracoastal Waterway. Owners of 13.2 acres where the old Magnolia Motel once stood and across the road at Bonaparte's landing are requesting a zoning change from MR-2 (mainland residential) to M8-1 (mainland business). That area would cuutain both multi-family housing and shops if approved, said P Mason Anderson, spokesman for Sea h Trail Corp., Island Development a Corp. and Oceanside Corp., ail companies holding an interest in the land. c Another request the board will con- b sider involves land that borders N.C. b 179 adjacent to the Calabash River. a ?tj ?.? rv?u m nppin.am L/a t iu uMiiwiuina inut %, p quested the land be rezoned from ^ MR-2 to MB I.

All four requests will go to the ouncil Monday with the planning oard's prior approval. However, oard member George Meier voted gainst the zoning changes and esialeu lib* ?***p?Sluuii to the rcuests Wednesday night. "My feeling is that if the council ecideo they are going to change this lio a business area," Meier said, then they should determine how luch is to be business and how much > to be multi-family." A request introduced by Anderson hat would change the 13.2 acres at lonaparte's landing from resideniai to business would also allow nulti-family units in the same listrict. Meier spoke against the nuve, saying that mixing business vith homes could create fire hazards ind traffic problems. "Our intentions is to try to clean up hat corner of town." Anderson eplied. "What I can tell the group is, hat's very valuable property up here. Anything that will be done nerc win oc carcimiy puuuicu aim *ill be dene in good taste." Opposition to Iho rnning rlwnjM was also voiced by John McCarthy, president of the Sunset Beach Taxpayers Association.

Anderson said he did not realize the sign was still standing, but added it would be removed. William Taylor, of T & T Development Inc., presented a petition to the council Wednesday containing signatures of property owners surrounding the Brooks Estate in Seaside who are opposed to the requested zoning change. If the signatures arc verified end the petition is considered legitimate, it may take a 4-1 vote of the council to approve the zoning change, Town Manager Martin said. Taylor said he was not opposed to changing the area from MH-1 to MB-1 where a fish house and restaurant are now standing on the Hmopvpr Tnvlnr ctatpH ho wttttt.. ? ? was opposeo to rezoiung any area next to the site where mobile homes are now parked. Taylor holds an option on a parcel of land that lies in the middle of the eight-acre area requested for rezoning. At the planning board hearing, Taylor requested Wat his parcel and all those around his remain zoned for mobile homes. Anderson, a Shailotte attorney and resident of Sunset Beach, advised that signatures of persons living outside the town limits by law cannot be considered on petitions. "Those persons were not asked about zoning in the first place," Anderson said. According to the application, plaits include multi-family units, a restaurant, marina and docking facilities for the site. Mike Brazeal, owner of the landing I subdivision, said it nis rezoning request is approved then multifamily units will be built Brazeal said he would tike for the area to "be a source of pride" and 'add io iiie community."
