'Spot-Zonin
Request D<
Pianning B
BY TERRY POPE
Two vacant oceanfront lots at
Holden Beach will remain residential
rather than commercial, if town
commissioners follow the advice of
tl Tt.lj r> *- tm "
uie nuiuen rseacn Planning ana zoning
Board.
Planning board members voted
unanimously Monday night to recommend
that the town not rezone the
two lots just west of Rothschild Street
where the town hall is located. To
change the lots from residential to
commercial would create "spotzoning"
along the beach strand.
Town Administator Bob Buck said,
since the lots are not already contiguous
to a commercial zone.
The rezoning request was made at
litot TuCsciuV'c meeting of ths plsnning
board in the form of a letter from
Hazel L. and Jimmie T. Monroe. The
two lots lie in the R.H. Holden Subdivision
near 137 Ocean Blvd. West.
"I have been contacted by
numerous people on the beach," said
board member Harry Yoder. "Even
though the lots are very ciose to a
commercial area, it might as well be
four miles down the beach as far as
what we would open up."
What the board would "open up"
by approving the rezoning request
was a "Pandora's box," Yoder said,
inviting others along the beach
strand to ask for "spot-zoning."
Town commissioners will have the
final vote on the request since the
planning and zoning board only votes
on recommendations to ttie town
council.
"What bothers me is I am so close
to where traffic will be coming off of

the new bridge," Ms. Monroe told the
board Monday night. "Eighty percent
of the commercial area will be
east of the bridge. Since there is
nothing on the lot now, 1 think it
would be practical for commercial
use." .
Ms. Monroe said too many deci- }
sions are being made by the town
based on the old traffic patterns on j
(hp island and the 1980 land use plan.
However, Planning Board ViceChairman
Jim Buffaloe stated the )
1980 land use plan was prepared five I
years ago under the assumption that '
Holden Beach would be getting a new
bridge.
In the 1980 plan, the two lots under
discussion were listed for residential .
use, Buffaloe said.
In their letter to the l>oard. the I
Monroes suueu inai oy cnanging me
area to commercial, a "very unique |
village could develop that would
benefit all property owners of ilolden
Beach. In this way, spot-zoning could
be eliminated."
"Before we start increasing the
size of the commercial zone," added
board member Don Pringle, "I'd like
to see better use of what we've
already got."
To grant the exception in this case
would open the door to other requests,
Pringle added.
"I for one am in sympathy with
you," added member Bill Lovelace.
"I don't feel we should come off the
bridge and have to turn back to get to
our commercial district."
However, Lovelace also stated he
did not want to see spot-zoning
started on the beach, and voted
against the rezoning request.

334 Can Vote C
There's been no rush by would-be
voters to register in advance of a
May 14 beer and wine referendum In
Shallotte, reports the Brunswick
County Board of Elections.
Registration books for the election
closed April 15 with 334 voters eligible
to vote, she said Monday.
Ms. Britt said there had been no
noticeable increase in registrations
and no related activity that could be
attributed to interest in the forthcoming
referendum. A final review of
registrations will be made during the
week before the election.
In the election called by the town
board of aldermen Shallotte voters
will decide whether to allow diners to
have a glass of wine or beer with
their meal.
Specifically, they will determine
three issues:
Whether to allow the sale of beer
or other malt beverages for consumption
on the premises of Class A
restaurants, hotels and motels;
Whether to allow the sale of unfortified
wines for on-premises consumption
in eating places; and
Whether to allow the sale of unfortified
wines by licensed retail stores
for off-premises consumption.
Unfortified wines had been sold at
the Shallotte ABC Store, a practice
that ended last year by state order.
Fortified wines and wines produced
in North Carolina arc available at the
ABC store.
Typically, turnout for the town's

)n Beer, Wine
ABC votes has been much lower than
for muncipal elections.
In the town's last alcoholic
beverage control election, on Jan. 6,
1976, 68 of the town's 300-plus voters
cast ballots, defeating beer and wine
issues 2 to 1. Twenty-nine voted for
the on-premises and off-premises
sale of wine, while 46 voted against.
Twenty-one voted for on-premises
and off-premises sale of beer and 47
against. However, off-premises sales
of beer and malt beverages continued
because they had been approved
in an earlier election.
In contrast to the ABC referendum
turnout, 243 Shallotte voters cast
ballots in the 1983 municipal election
and 287 in the 1981 election.
