"There are some ambiguities,"
Mayor LaDane Bullington said in
reference to the language. "We need
to reword it so that no matter who
reads it they can interpret and
understand it."
Town commissiorrers serve as the
adjustment board, with Betty
Williamson as chairman. Mayor
LaDane Bullington serves as clerk to
the board.
On a motion by Connor Cox, the
board voted unanimously to grant

they would no longer meet the N.C.
Building Code.
In the second appeal heard, the
board, on a motion by Debbie Fox,
unanimously granted Mr. and Mrs.
James Hesser a variance in the
sundeck requirement. The Hessers
will be allowed to rebuild a cantilevei
eu sundeck on the front of their
just-completed home at 44 Union
Street.
Builders had beeun tearing down
the deck after learning it extended
two feet farther than allowed into the
front setback area, Hesser said. The
flooring has been removed, with only
joists remaining.
Ms. Fox said the Hesser's sundeck
is "in harmony" with the intent of the
sundeck ordinance and that the violation
was apparently unintentional.
"Our intent was to Drohihit the
blocking of parking as well as blocking
the neighbors' view," she said.
"In this case it certainly does not."
Audience member Robert Ball
questioned whether cantilevered
sundecks along the street side of a
home interfered with parking, a
neighbor's view or control of run-off.
He said the front area before most
homes is typically covered with
gravel or paved for parking, not
grassed.

THE BRUNSWICK BEACON. Thi
Inspections A
County Fire I
BY TERRY POPE
An effort to extend county fire
districts and improve insurance
ratings tor homeowners has
undergone a first round of testing by
the N.C. Insurance Service Office,
said Brunswick County Emergency
Management Coordinator Cecil
Logan.
lx>gan said an agent with the ISO.
Charles Rhodes, inspected fire
departments in southern Brunswick
County last week and was scheduled
io begin testing Souihpori and
Yaupon Beach Volunteer Fire
Departments Tuesday morning.
The inspections of county fire
departments and their state-required
equipment is part of a plan to extend
all fire districts to five-mile
distances, and to hopefully provide
homeowners with lower insurance
ratings in the future, Logan said.
"I requested it through his office,"
Logan said of the Inspections, "since
we have existing (countv) water
lines in some areas now, and a move
to install more lines is underway."
Hhodcs' office will continue to in
spect the departments on a routine
basis, after this round of testing is
complete, Ixigan said. Extending the
fire districts will make it passible in
the future for "all departments to
join each other" at some point
throughout the county, he added.
The departments' response timing
and types of equipment available are
some of the things Rhodes' office
checks during the inspections. Insurance
rates may vary for
homeowners, depending on whether
or not the fire departments servicing

Districts
the districts have access to fire
hydrants, Logan said.
That makes the installation of
county water lines an important
asset for homeowners who would like
to see their insurance rates lowered.
"It looks real good," Logan said
Monday morning. "There have been
no problems with what he's inspected
so far."
One area of the county that would
like to increase their fire protection
and department response time is the
Northwest community near Iceland.
Ixigan said. Residents there have
been discussing the possibility of obtaining
their own fire department.
"This is something that lias been in
the nuiking since a year ago," Itigan
said. "They contacted me about it.
and I told them wliat they needed to
do to get their own department."
The Northwest community is
located outside both Iceland and
Acme-Dclco Volunteer Fire Department
districts, an equal distance
from each station.
"It's about 20 or 25 minutes,
whether Acmc-Dclco or '.eland
answers," Logan said.
There is no other community in the
county that is as far uway from a
department as the Northwest and
Maco communities, I-ogan said.
The best way to provide fire
department services to these communities
is one subject county commissioners
ore now discussing,
Logan said. It is not known if fire
department substations or new
departments would help with both
service and county funding problems.
