Zoning may be what one county commissioner described as a "dirty word," but as he predicted, it popped up at almost every workshop in one form or another. "If we don't do something while we still have open space," said farmwoman Mary Earp of Winnabow at the Towncreek Township meeting, "if lt/i 11 (u> lihn !?- -J ? ? ? I >v " ?? uv nrvw (. iiviiii^ UIC UUI II uoor after the horse is out. It will be too Ernest Chuck" Shelton of Town Creek offered another perspective. "The county's being so laissez-faire, no fair to everybody," he said, "it's actually being unfair." In addition to zonipg and subdivision regulations, he also suggested I the county hold a public hearing on any major development that would deviate substantially from the land use plan as approved. As an example, he cited the shift in location of the county water line from along the river frotn la-land to Southport to along U.S. 17?a change he happened to favor. Friday night, at the last of the | meetings, two local chamber of comf inerce representatives said a sewer system and better roads are needed, echoing two major needs expressed H at earlier meetings Anne Marie Schettiru, corrector of the South Brunswick Islands gg&l Chamber of Commerce, also suprf rv/-?rfiw4 I ho rvxwvrl n w Ig f?v?. vv.vj uk. ik>-vl iui <1 acnci DJ.HCIII, ; speeding up of construction of a coun| ty water system and the U.S 17 fourlaning from Shallotte to the South Carolina line, a welcome center at the Shallotte bypass, more boat accesses, artificial reefs and general support for sports fishing, and a county campaign against litter. Zoning was the major need expressed by Hon Shannon, presidentelect of the Southport-Oak Island j Chamber of Commerce. "We think countywide zoning is necessary to control the growth and to make sure it is the type of growth H we want.' he said addint? that a Bcountywide sewer system is needed to support that growth. __ When he asked County Commissioners James Poole. Grace Beasley and Krankle Rabon their views on a sewer system. Poole replied. "We've got our plates lull with the water system." He said the county is encouraging municipalities to develop sewer MILLIGAN HOUflMOVIBS, tot.

Shannon also proposed widening of " Beach Koad. a second bridge to Oak " Island, traffic signals at local " schools, expansion of the SouthportFort Fisher ferry operation and ex- a pansion of the Brunswick County Air- 11 port to include more commuter ser- 01 vices. Michael deSherbinin, county n resources development director, sent the Resources Development Com- . mission's recommendations in L writing. He urged planning officials to include sufficient future areas in i the land use plan for "anticipated Be! manufacturing growth" and said Bri waste treatment facilities will be 4 needed to support that growth. gol Groups often on opposite ends of the pole on growth-related Issues shared something in common during /" the meetings, both supporting county ^ zoning. f They cited It as a means ot prescrv- V ing property'values, protecting sensitive environmental areas and C regulating density. Speakers at several meetings urged better enforcement of the land use fjr plan, including adoption of a stronger lin subdivision ordinance. Co A need for parks was mentioned at several hearings. At the Shallottc dii Township meeting, for instance, Miller Pope urged an aggressive nil campaign to make sure the state or | federal government acquires Bird pr Island near Sunset Beach as a park tai Some townships had problems uni- <ia que to their area. At Waccainaw, Kc former Commissioner Pearly ho Vereen, a farmer in Exum, said Cn farmers are over-regulated and need | the same exclusions to the Coastal grl Area Management Act allowed paper Ar, companies. He called for a more ag- Kr gresslve industry and job recruiting [yj and keeping a closer eye on the Cai school board. Sy.

Commissioner Frankie Rabon explained at a meeting In Town Creek Township Thursday attended by seven citizens The Coastal Area Management Act requires the county to update its p!ar. every five years, taking a look at its natural, human and economic resources, its problems and constraints on growth, and how it wants \ to develop in the future In the plan, the county classifies land by broad usage categories, describes bow various areas should be developed and how it intends to implement the plans?such as through ordinances, regulations and I policies I ASS OPS STORE FRONTS REP AJRS-PLASTIC r?
