Calabo:
BY DOUG RUTTER
Calabash Coisncil this week
discussed the circumstances surrounding
a lawsuit which may be filed
against the town in connection
with its building inspections department.
During a 20-minute executive session
Tuesday, board members talked
about the incident with Building Inspector
Frank Adams.
Although no details of the potential
lawsuit were discussed openly.
Adams said prior to going into closed
session that the lawsuit was "just a
potential thing."
He said he was concerned for the
town and himself and that he wanted
to talk to council members before
i proceeding any further with his perP
sonal "investigation."
Mayor Doug Simmons said no ac\
tion was taken during the closed sesj
sion. He cnuid not provide further information.
The matter was discussed in the
absence of the town attorney as well
as council members Sonia Stevens
and Ronnie Pittman.
Variance Discussed
In other business this week, council
again discussed but took no action on
a longstanding request for a variance
of the town height restriction.
The variance would allow for construction
of a three-story, 43-foot high
Comfort Inn within the town limits.
The proposed structure would be
located along N.C. 179 between
Marsh Harbor Yatch Club and the
nearby convenience store.
Town code prohibits the construction
of buildings more than two
_ stories and higher than 35 feet,
i Council authorized the town plannj
ing and zoning board to work with
t Aaams ana caretully consiaer the
variance before making a recommendation
to the town board.
Comfort Inn representative Bill
a Cockayne said the structure would
1 include 90 units, with adequate parking
spaces below the second floor,
and a swimming pool.
He added that developers have

town council members voiced concerns
about fire protection for the
structure.
Cockayne said the building would
be constructed of concrete or some
other fire-resistant material and
would meet all state and local fire
protection codes. He said it would
probably include a sprinkler system.
Town Clerk Janet Thomas added,
"The town cannot prevent a building
from going up based on fire protection."
Bob Hirsch, project coordinator for
the neighboring Marsh Harbour
Yacht Club, said variances cannot be
granted unless there is a quality
peculiar to a specific tract of land
which makes development of that
property impossible without a
variance.
Town council does not have the
authority to grant a variance simply
because someone wants to develop
the land in a manner which violates

Town Seal Needed
Also Tuesday, council members
supported a plan to establish a town
seal.
Following the request of Building
inspector Adams, tne ooara aulhorized
him to work with Mrs. Thomas in
setting up a contest to select an official
emblem for the town.
"It's gotta be a fish," said High.
"We're the seafood capitol of the
world."
Mayor Simmons remarked that
other local towns have their own
seals and that it would be nice for
Calabash to have one which symbolizes
its ties to the seafood industry.
