Holden Owners Waiting For Decision On Dunes BY doug ruttkr Holdcn Bcach officials still haven't dccidcd if the town will co ordinate or help pay for the rebuild ing of occanfront dunes damaged in a winter storni 2 1/2 months ago. Seven weeks after asking the town board to take responsibility for the work, some Holdcn Bcach Pro perty Owners Association (HBPOA) members arc getting tired of waiting for the decision. Dune repairs needed as a result of the severe winter storm March 13 was one of the main issues discussed at Saturday morning's meeting of the HBPOA. For now, it's up to the homeowners to rebuild their own dunes. However, Commissioner Gay At kins said Saturday that the town board is still considering taking a more active roll in dune repair. "It's not a dead issue. It's being worked on all the time." Dunes at approximately 90 occan front lots sustained serious damage during the March storm, which packcd hurricanc-force winds and caused an estimated S8 million in damage at Holdcn. Since the storm, Atkins said the town has spent a lot of time and money cleaning up debris on the strand. Officials also arc waiting for some homes to be moved off the occanfront before deciding what to do about the dunes. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials have esti mated that as many as 90 homes could be in "imminent danger" of collapse due to bcach erosion, Atkins said. POA Director Andy Watson said the town needs a plan so it can react quickly following storms. "We need to do something other than sitting around waiting on FEMA." HBPOA President Bob Linc bcrgcr said members arc waiting for the board's decision. "I'm of the opinion that a lot of the property owners arc waiting. Should I do something or wail for the town to do something?"
