Page 2-A?THE BRUNSWICK BEAC Suns* BY BILL Mc<iOWAN Acting upon advice from its attorney, Sunset Beach Town Council agreed Monday night to redraft its controversial streets abandonment resolution and to "go through the whole process again." Town Manager Wallace Martin told council that Attorney Michael R. Isenberg said a valid argument to the abandonment may arise because a specific plat was not in existence at the time council passed its resolution of intent to close several streets and portioas of streets. The town proposes to permanently close or narrow portioas of North Shore Drive, Canal Avenue, Hickory Avenue, Mf.ry's Drive and Cobia, Sailfish, Dolphin, Marlin, Main and Churc J Continued Prom Pa Poston, Rev.

It would retain utility easements and the town would probably extend the setback for those properties the same distance as the difference between the new and old boundaries for the lots. On North Shore Drive, lots abutting the marsh would get an added 20 feet. On the canal lots, however, where houses on both sides are along the water, each would get ar. added 10 feet. The lots must be 100 feet deep to qualify for septic tank permits. Martin had presented Isenberg with several questions citizeas raised at a March 4 public hearing on the issue. In his answer, Isenberg told Martin the town must have a specific plat at the time the resolution cf inhes Herald I -e ' of light", that sigr Dr. Brian D. Weger. Christ.

The resolution the town adopted at its February meeting only refers to streets "as shown on maps prepared by a local surveyor," Isenberg said. "There is no reference to a specific plat which shows the exact sections of the roads to be closed," he said. "There may be a valid argument that if there was in fact no specific plat on the dale the resolution of intent was adopted, then the commissioners could not have possibly been in agreement and known exactly which portions of the road they were proposing to close. "There must be a valid description from which persons can ascertain the exact portions to be closed," team of local personnel. That freed them to respond to any other fires that develop. Camp was set up Waccamaw Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department, situated several miles above the fire scene. Kitchen facilities, a planning van and a service trailer were among the equipment requested from the Region 1 office at Kinston. Waccamaw and Shallotte volunteer firefighters also helped on the scene Monday, guarding houses and private piuperiy imtiaiiy At one point, firefighters thought they had lost a Federal Paperboard Co. plow that bogged in a bay in front of rapidly-advancing flames. Crewmen abandoned the plow because of tl?e threat to their safety, but about hours later retrieved the burned-over plow and returned to action. "We were lucky." said Davison. Curcio said clean-up couid take several days or even seven months, with the time depending primarily on the weather. "Wit It thiu tunn nf drv ui>nth.>r we're going to foe here until we get a foreak in the weather," he predicted. "It could foe out with a foig rain if Mother Nature gives its a foreak or it could fourn for months. Or it could hum to the water table.

Isenberg also addressed other questions in his letter to Martin. His opinions are as follow: -If an order is adopted by council closing any street, the property owners will not have to obtain a deed of correction to reflect this. The statute, Isenberg said, requires that a ccriuieu cupy ui uit luuiii.ii s ui uci be recorded in the Register of Deeds office. That is sufficient to vest title of the closed road in the adjoining landowners.

Shallotte Point meteorologist Jackson Canady said that along with continuing slightly above normal temperatures, the area will receive no more than a half-inch of rain. That's normal for this time of year, but unfortunately, he said, offers no relief of the dry conditions that have fueled recent forest fires in the coun, ty. He added, "There's no general relief in sight at the present time, I'm t calls for ess, it calls er casuals. ? casually, remember Dexter styles.

He said, "Of course, Mr. Gore should disqualify himself from voting if the closing of any road would vest any property whatsoever in him or one of his cor porations." "Concerning newspaper publication of advertisements for the public hearing, Isenberg said tliat if some streets were omitted in some of the publications, then there would not be legal notice of the council's intent to close those streets. Isenberg added that the statute dc*s require that a copy of the resolution be sent to ail property owners ad! i .Lu.

Concerning married coupies, oniy the spouse whose name appears on the record books must receive a copy of the resolution; As to whether or not the street closings are in the public interest, Isertberg said the statute requires only that council determine that the closing "is not contrary to the public interest" and that no individual owning property would be deprived of reasonable means of ingress and egress to his property. Following a brief discussion on the matter, council agreed to redraft its resolution. In addition, Martin will am Isenberg to attend the next public hearing when it is scheduled.
