Calabash Adopts
Fee For Repeat
Building Inspections
BY ERIC C ARLSON
Building contractors working in
Calabash will no longer get an un
limited number of free return visits
from the building inspector since the
board of commissioners voted Tues
day to approve a re-inspection fee of
S30.
B"il<ling inspector John Fazekas
told the board that he sometimes
gets called back to the same job site
seven or eight times to re-inspect
portions of a building project. He re
quested that the new fee be adopted
to encourage builders have their
work properly completed before
calling for an inspection.
Commissioner Ed Schaack, the
town's former building inspector,
said some contractors abuse the sys
tem by making the town perform the
function of construction foreman by
repeatedly telling workers how to
the job is to be done.
"When I told one contractor what
we had in mind, he actually asked
me, 'You mean we're going to get
charged for an extra inspection even
though we don't know what we're
doing?'" Schaack said.
Commissioner Keith Hardee, who
is also a builder, said most contrac
tors consider Calabash's building in
spection policies to be some of the
best in the area. Most town's charge
higher fees and many require 24
hours advanced notice before a
building inspector will visit a job
site.
"No other town gives that kind of
service. You call him up and he
comes. You don't need to wait 24
hours." Hardee said. "Most builders
I know appreciate that. They won't
mind $30 tor n rc*inspcc!lon
if they can get it done that fast."
Commissioner Bob Noe ques
tioned whether the town was being
too harsh in requiring a re-inspec
tion fee for every return visit. He
noted that the inspector frequently
asks for a minor correction and then
has to return to make sure the
change has been made. Me suggest
ed that the reinspection fee be
charged only if a second re-inspec
tion is requested.
Th?* hoard eventually voted 5-to
1. with Alvin l.eisev dissenting, to
require the $30 re-inspection fee "at
the discretion of the building inspec
tor."
In other business:
5 The board voted 4-to-2. with
Noe and Teddy Altreuter dissenting,
in favor of five resolutions to facili
tate their approval last week of
$150.000 in sewage system engi
neering fees. Altreuter said she had
some "very serious worries" about
the town's ongoing plans for a joint
sewer system with Sunset Beach.
Noe said the town should have a ref
erendum before going into debt to
fund the project.
? Agreed to donate $500 to the
Friends of West Brunswick Library
to help keep the Shallotte library
branch operating at a temporary lo
cation during a six-month renova
tion scheduled to begin in March.
Phyllis Manning told the board that
the group hopes to raise $10.000 to
pay rent and other expenses for a
temporary library.
? Scheduled a Feb. 17 public
hearing on the town's 201 Facilities
plan for the proposed sewer system.
