AT HICKMAN'S CROSSROADS Brunswick Plantation Project Gets Go-Ahead From Planners BY TERRY POPE A 596-acre development under conslruction at Hickman's Cross roads south of Shallotte will feature a series of lakes, an 18-holc golf course and approximately 664 homes when completed. The Brunswick County Planning Board last Wednesday approved plat proposals for two sections of Brunswick Plantation subdivision and golf course, a project planned by developers Mason Anderson, Jimmy McLamb, WJ. McLamb and George A. Sloan III, operating un der the name Caw Caw Land Corp. Last fall the development group reserved the subdivision's name and obtained the planning board's ap proval to begin laying out roads and drainage lines. Plats approved last week allow the development of the first phase, which consists of two residential sections and an 18-hole golf course. The 99 Sots in section one will have a minimum lot size of 75 feet by 140 feet Section two will consist of 61 patio home sites averaging 60 feet by 110 feet each. Company agent Rick Tompkins, a registered land surveyor, told the board that the patio home sites will border No. 5 School House Road N.W. (RPR 1305). The other home sites and 18-hole golf course will stretch from west of U.S. 17 to School House Road. Tompkins said his clients are ne gotiating with N.C. Department of Transportation officials to build a turn lime on U.S. 17 at the entrance to the development. The golf course will be designed by Willard J. Byrd and Associates. Two smaller sites by a club house will be reserved for multi-family development. Walter Marley, Bruns wick County soil scientist, told the board that a central sewer system must be used on a vast majority of the lots in Phase One. The company proposal indicated the site will be served by a water and sewer system. The planning board last week al so gave approval to a subdivision consisting of 21 lots along Kirby Brunswick Business Service Road S.W. near Holden Beach. A plat for Ridge Forest Subdivi sion was originally approved in No vember 1983, but only one phase of the project was ever officially filed by the owner, Tom Hcwett. A plat was filed for Phase One, which consists of nine lots, said the applicant's agent, Thomas Moiban. He presented the proposed plat for Phase Two, which consists of 12 lots, each 60 feet by 150 to 188 feet in depth. The development will connect with Four Winds subdivision and border Turkey Trap Swamp.
