I Pace 12-A—THE BRL^’SWICK HEAa>N, Thursday, Jaauar>' 22,1987 Redwine: County Should Address Roads Problem ^11 BY SUSAN USHER Special road legislation sought by Brunswick County comniissiotiers might be difficult to obtain. State Rep. E. David Redwine advised the board Monday night. He said most counties updated their subdivision ordinances to pre vent the situation Brunswick County wants the state to handle. Commissioners had sent Redwine a resolotion asking the General Assembly to amend Department of Traosportation policies regarding subdivision roads, so that the state could take over such roads regardless of when they were built or whether they meet DOT standards. Currently, roads built since around 1975 must meet minimum construc tion and right-of-way requirements before DOT will accept them. According to Planning Oirectoi' John Han’cy, 90 percent of the coun t’s roads are private and unpaved. The county doesn't require privotely- maintaini^ roads to meet state stan dards. Said Redwine. "It's a tough issue for me to ccmvtnce legislators across the state that Bmnswick County is in a special situation.” Since the DOT regulations changed in 1975. he said, most counties have amended their subdivision or dinances. “They won't let subdivi sions be recorded or platted unless their roads—public or private—arc built to state standard." he explain ed. Then, if pix^rty owners later decide they no longer want to main tain their own streets, the roads can be taken over by DOT readily. kindly on ttwt because they’ve all already bit the bullet." While saying ho would work on the matter. Redwine said it was a matter better handled locally. “It's something you need to ad dress, how you want subdivisions to do it. Otherwise, the problem is going to continue." he stressed. In related discussion, iixlividual conuiussioncrs had legislative con cerns of their own. Commissioner Frankie Kabon askeii for continued support of the artificial reef pro gram. while Chairman Grace Beasley said mure funds are needed for roads, with recognition given to the Brunswick's status as the second- fastest growing county in the state. Commissioner Jim Poole w.mled the state to not require counties tu take on new projects after their budgets are alrt’Hcly .set; Redwine said during the .session legislators would at least consider sending along money to cover first-year expenses for such programs.

According to Red wine several versions have been drafted, including one that specifies Eyeglass Drive Underway Remaining Oyster Waters Re-Ooened rva ava mtv |/sUili» lie vwf* tinued, “I don't think they’ll look strucUon. A media poll suggests the issue won't get a majority's support, he said. “It will come up and I hope it will get a fair hearing." Also. Redwine told local NAACP members he plans to vote for a bill to make Martin Luther King Jr.’.s birth day a paid state holiday.
