Holden Board Ready To Pass Bulkhead Rules BY DOUG RUTTER Time is running out for people who plan to build a home along one of Holden Beach's finger canals without bulkheading the lot in ad vance. To control erosion along the canals, town officials say they're ready to pass an ordinance that will require bulkheads on all canal lots before they can be developed. Holden Beach Commissioners conductcd a public hearing and dis cussed the proposal last Wednesday. They arc expected to pass the regu lation at their meeting Monday night. The town currently requires bulk heading prior to construction only if the lot is less than 1(X) feet deep. The new rule would require bulk heads on all lots, although lots less than 75 feci deep arc considered un buildable. "1 think this is a very important action that needs to be taken," Commissioner David Sandifcr said at last week's meeting. Other town board members agreed. But Commissioner Jim Fournicr said the ordinance also should in clude some provision that would help property owners who arc af fcctcd by neighbors who don't bulk head their lots. In some cases, people with bulk headed lots arc losing land because their neighbors haven't constructed bulkheads. The erosion of unbulk headed lots often creeps across m STAf F PHOTO BY DOUG ftUTTtR HOLDEN REACH OFFICIALS are ready to pass an ordinance thai hill require canal lots like this one to be hulkheaded before house construction begins. property lines. "Somehow wc need to give peo ple who arc being physically and fi nancially damaged some relief," Fournicr said, adding that people shouldn't have to go to court to pro tect their property from erosion. However, the N.C. Institute of Government had earlier advised the town nol to get involved in such dis putes between neighbors, according to Town Attorney Ken Campbell. "What wc need is less legal ad vicc and more concern for our in habitants," Foumicr said. Three residents spoke during last week's public hearing on the pro posed ordinance, all favoring the plan but urging the town board to come up with a bulkhead mainte nance provision. "This requires you to build but says nothing about maintenance," said Harold Steorts, who lives along one of lite canals. "There arc a num ber of these (bulkheads) falling down." Ted Rivcnbark and Andy Watson agreed with Steorts about mainte nance. They said the proposed ordi nance is a good beginning. "If we have half the fish in the barrel, lei's noi throw out everything else just because we don't have the rest of the fish," Watson said. Commissioners agreed the town needs a policy on maintaining bulk heads. However, they plan to pass the ordinance as proposed and add the maintenance requirements later. "This thing's been held up for I don't know how many years," Mayor Pro Tcm Gil Bass said of the new regulation. Town officials arc eager to get it passed. As further protection against ero sion, town board members said last week they want another rule that would prohibit landowners from placing nil dirt on canal lots without bu'khcading the lot first. Other Business In other business last week, com missioners: ? Met in executive session for 30 minutes to discuss a personnel mat ter. In open session, the board in structed Town Manager Gary Parker to follow up on the matter. ? Formally approved a policy for the town to relocate fire hydrants at no cost to property owners when the hydrants interfere with development plans. Parker said it costs the town about S5(X) to move a hydrant. He said it has only been done twice in the last 18 months.
