Subdivision Ordinance Review Resumes June 5 BY TERRY POPE Thn Prnnctuirl' Pauniv Plnnnino *"v M,,u " ?*"* ? o Board will meet again Wednesday, June 5, to continue its review of public comments on the county's new subdivision ordinance. The meeting will be in the public assembly building at the govern ment complex in Bolivia at 7 p.m. The board met for more than two hours with local developers last Wednesday to revise sections of the ordinance in preparing a final draft for county commissioners. Wednesday's will be the third such meeting to review the contro Wetland Conversion Could Risk Farmer Eligibility Fanners who fail to get approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Soil Conservation Service (SCS) before converting wetlands risk losing all of their US DA benefits. The wetland "trigger" was chang ed under the 1990 Farm Bill, mean ing farmers must be more cautious and follow the new provisions of lose eligibility for USDA benefits, said Harold D. Jones, district con servationist for the Brunswick County SCS office in Bolivia. The "trigger" is any action a farmer takes that will put him in vi olation of the Farm Bill's provi sions, Jones said. Under the 1985 Farm Bill, farmers did not violate the swampbuslcr pro vision until they had actually planted a crop on wetlands convened after Dec. 23, 1985. The "trigger" was the act of planting the crop, said Jones. Under the 1990 Farm Bill, farm ers are in violation the moment they begin convening a wetland by clearing, filling or draining it. Fanners who convert wetlands for non-agricultural uses do not vio late the Farm Bill if plans arc first approved by the local SCS office, Jones said. Conversion of wetlands for roads, building construction and lagoons arc considered non-agricultural us es. Agricultural uses include the planting of any crop, hay, pasture, agricultural commodity or crop. "The changes in what is consid ered agricultural production are as significant as the change in what triggers a violation," said Jones. Persons who plan to drain an ex isting hayland or pasture composed of hydric soils will also need prior approval under the new bill. Farmers who swampbust lose their eligibility for most USDA ben efits, including participation in the price support program, grain stor age, Farmers Home Administration loans and crop insurance. The status remains with the origi nal violator even if the land changes ownership. SCS approval only pro tects the farmer under the provi sions of the 1990 Farm Bill. Other wetland regulations required by slate and federal agencies must still be approved by those agencies.

The present ordinance was adopt ed in June 1980 and doesn't contain current standards for water systems or N.C. Department of Transporta tion standards for roads. The new ordinance may take ef fect in January 1992. Developers who file preliminary plats prior to that date will have 12 months be yond January 1992 to submit final plans for their subdivisions under the old ordinance. Dean Walters of Sea Trails Corp. said he agrees with such a grandfa ther clause but felt it should be ex tended to at least 24 months. Two weeks ago, Walters said, the planning board gave preliminary approval to most of the more than 1 ,400 lots before it at one month's meeting. More will surely follow, he said. The rush to have plats approved will flood Brunswick County's real estate market, a move developers have until now avoided, Walters said. "The public's looking at a lot of places other than Brunswick County," Walters said. "We need to be very careful about letting some of these lots go through." Johnny Garrison told the board the ordinance is more restrictive than N.C. General Statutes. Planning Director John Harvey said he would have County Attor ney David Clegg review sections to ensure the ordinance is adhering to the statutes. "This county should follow the same statutes as any other county," said board member Michael Schaub. Board member Alfonza Roach said he doesn't like restrictions on reserve strips but agrees that the board should protect against land locking property. A reserve strip would separate adjacent subdivi sions or parcels of land with a strip of property used to deny traffic, utility or other connections. However, Roach said to prohibit strips would allow a developer an unfair use of a road that has already been built and maintained by an ad jacent developer. "It's like me building a bathroom and then building this whole build ing for everyone else to use," said Roach. Other items discussed last week included definition changes for po litical subdivisions, reserve strips, structures within set-back lines and community sewer systems. Also, wording for an inheritance clause to allow parents to deed lots to their children was revised.
