U Transportation) BOARD VOTES 3-2 Shallotte Officials Kill Acreage Fee In Hopes Of Lurina More Industries BY DOUG R UTTER In a move aimed at bringing new jobs to town. Shallotte officials last week did away with all acreage fees charged to industry. Aldermen voted 3-2 July 5 to eliminate the $2.500- per-acre fees that the town had been charging in dustries that requested water and coit/or fmm jK? tO'ATl "We're trying to get some more people to build industry down here. Whether it's going to work we don't know." Alderman Bill Allen said. "We have a lot of young people down here and they're going to move out. We want to keep them here and give them a chance," said Allen, who had been pushing for months for a reduction in the indus trial acreage fee. Aldermen Carson Durham and Morris Hall also voted in favor of the change, which was opposed by town board members Roncv Cheers and David Gause. Town officials did not make any changes in non-industrial acreage fees, which are $1,000 per acie for residential and conservation proper ty and $2,000 per acre for commer cial. Acreage fees are kept in a special reserve fund and are used to help pay for expansion of the water and sewer systems. Allen said the change only applies to industrial plants that actually pro duce something. Industrial ware houses and distribution centers still must pay the fees. Allen said more industrial jobs are needed in the Shallotte area. Most of the industry in Brunswick County is concentrated in the Leland and Southporl areas, he said. "This end of Brunswick County has the highest unemployment. Thai's whii scares us," Alien said. Both Clause and Cheers said they were in favor of keeping the indus trial acreagc fee. They said industry should help pay for future expansion of the water and sewer systems. "I don't think we arc large enough to use taxpayers' money to entice in dustry to come into the city limits. If anybody wants to come into the town, I think they should pay their share." Cause said. "I don't think that the people wh<? stay inside the city limits now should pay for people tc comc in. We haven't got the kind of tax base to generate the revenue to entice people (o come into town. I think they should pay their own way," he said. "When we came out with acreage fees years ago I thought it was fair and I still do," Gause added. "My feeling was that they should stay as they are." Cheers said. "It's alright to have something for the people to do down this way rather than tourism. But I can't foresee that there's all that much effort by indus try to come this way. Maybe I'm wrong. We'll just have to wait and see." Other Business In other business last week, alder men: ? Rejected a proposal to pay $1,000 to have a drop ceiling in stalled in the Shallotte Volunteer Fire Department office. Town offi cials also turned down a request to pay S318 for 20 vehicle license tags for firefighters. ? Voted to advertise tor a town hall secretary/receptionist to start work Aug. 15. Receptionist Phebie McLean will start work as a full time secretary in the police depart ment at that time. ? Appointed a committee to work on an ordinance regulating junk cars. Board members Durham. Allen ami Hall are working with public works director Albert Hughes. A separate committee comprised of Hall and planning board member Shirley Waggoner-Eisenman is wor king on a street vendors ordinance. ? The board of adjustment voted 6-1 in favor of granting a variance that will allow Hardee's to erect an over-sized sign on N.C. 130 near the U.S. 17 bypass. The restaurant's sign will be 50 feet tall and approxi mately 113 square feet. Town code prohibits signs taller than 40 feet or larger than 50 square feet. Wag goner-Eisenman cast the only vote against the variance. c^ackie 's Custom Window Treatments ?
