Hoiden Beach Approves Plan To Stabilize Dune BY DOUG Rl ITER Thirtv rolls of sar.J fence sprigs of beach grass and 1,600 pounds of grass seed. That's what llolden Beach offi cials plan to use to stabilize the new oceanfront sand dune constructed last week along Hillside Drive. The Federal Emergency Manage ment Agency will pay for the man made dune, which cost about S55.(HK1 Town commissioners voted Monday to spend up to $10.000 to keep the dune in place and help it grow. Wayne's Backhoc Service of Shallotte completed construction of the dune on the south side of ero sion-threatened Hillside Drive last Friday. Town Manager Gus Ulrich said 11.420 cubic yards of sand were used to build the dune. Town offi cials and property owners hope it will prevent the ocean from washing away the street. To stabilize the compacted sand, the town will use 2.200 feet of sand fence, 30.0(H) beach grass sprigs and 1 ,600 pounds of grass seed. A pipe with 32 sprinklers will be used to ir rigate the seed. Commissioners decided to spread two types of grass seed on the dune in addition to the traditional beach grass plantings because this is a marginal time of year to plant beach grass. "I say let's go that way. We put too much into the dune not to do it." Commissioner David Sandifer said u .1 ? . Ul l*l\MIVIU} 11 IL, Ml .> I'\IUIU IIIV. V. Illli;.

The town board authorized the club to spend up to $1.340 to erect a decorative board on the east side of the garage featuring a pelican, net and sea shells.

Holden POA Suggests Town Consider Land Purchase BY DOUG RUTTER Crawford Hart looks at the prop erty next to Holden Beach's water tower and sees a nice place for a community building where bridge clubs or scout groups could meet. Hart, president of the Holden Beach Property Owners Association (HBPOA). found plenty of support for his proposal Saturday when the organization gathered for its annual Easter weekend meeting. All 75 people who packed town hall's meeting room voted in favor of recommending that town com missioners consider purchasing property along the west side of Rothschild Street north of town hall. The land, owned by the Holden family, is zoned residential. The own ers recently asked for the land to be re-zoned commercial, but commis sioners denied the request. Hart said the landowners are find ing it difficult to develop or sell the property because nobody wants to live next to the water tank. The HBPOA voted unanimously in favor of Bob Buck's motion to recommend the town board deter mine the usefulness of the property in meeting future anticipated needs of the town. Holden Beach does not own any vacant property near the town hail complex to expand. "This town needs more property," HBPOA di rector Mel Amos said. An HBPOA committee studying ways to control growth and density held its first meeting Saturday and plans to meet again following the as sociation's May 21 meeting. "We are active. We are working," committee member Bob Lineberger said. "We are investigating all the possibilities to help us maintain the type of beach we have now." Lineberger, a former president of the association, said he wants to pre serve Holden Beach's environment and family atmosphere. "We think that's the will and de sire of the property owner member ship and that's what we're working for," he said. "We want to maintain what we have now." In other business Saturday, the or ganization voted to donate SI,(KM) to Coastline Volunteer Rescue Squad, which requested the money for the purchase of equipment. Executive Secretary l-arry Vogt reported that the I'OA has S5,742 in the bank and 590 paid members. Vogt said 249 property owners who were members last year had not paid 1994 dues as of March 31 Hart suggested that members ask their neighbors to join the organiza tion. which costs $10 per year. He said it would be good to know if some homeowners have legitimate reasons for not joining. During his address to llBPOA members, Town Manager (Jus Ul rich discussed recent progress with the underground utilities project, sidewalk construction and dune re nourishment on Hillside Drive. HBPOA's board of directors de cided Saturday to hold a meeting three weeks before each regular membership meeting to set an agen da. The board will get together Satur day, May 7, at 10 a.m. in town hall to prepare for the Memorial Day weekend meeting on May 21.
