54 TO BE INSTALLED ON ISLAND Sunset Beach Plan Calls For 83 Street Lights In Five Years BY SUSAN USHER A stepped-up street lighting plan adopted by Sunset Beach Town Council Monday would add 83 lights to town streets over a five-year peri od, 54 of them on the island. During the first three years the bulk of the lights would be placed on the island, while a majority of lights would be installed on the mainland the last two years. This year's 20-light first phase will put 17 lights in the middle of blocks on the island that arc unlight at this time, as recommended by the police department for safety reasons. Three lights will be added on the mainland. Phase two, 20 more lights, would include areas such as Canal Drive and intersections that are not well lighted, while phase three, with 17 lights, would include streets that need additional lighting because of population, vehicular traffic and foot traffic. Questioning the number of new lights proposed for the island. Clete Waldmiller said at the close of the meeting, "The place is going to be lit up like Times Square." He asked the town to consider us ing recessed or shadow box fixtures on the island instead of cobra-arm fixtures. The plan was adopted with the understanding that adjustments might be needed in location and number of the lights as the work progresses. If the plan is followed as ap proved the town's annual street light costs will increase from $16,528 last year to S24.227 in 1997-98 at cur rent rates. Another 78 lights would be added later. Delay In Sewer Project Consulting engineer Joe Tombro of Piedmont Olsen Hensley reported that the environmental section of the 201 facilities plan for the South Brunswick Water & Sewer Auth ority has not been approved. Tombro had expected approval by the end of September He now anticipates is suance of a FONSI (finding of no significant environmental impact) for the project by the end of October, followed by a month-long public comment period. On Friday his office will submit more informa tion requested by liie N.C. Division of Environmental Management. Financing for the project can't be completed until the approval is re ceived. A scries of changes made in the plans in responding to the state's en vironmental concerns are expected to have a "minor" effect on user fees, Tombro said last month, but a new proposed schedule hasn't been presented to the authority.

Owned by Odell Williamson, the tract gener ally between Angel Trace and N.C. 904 is currently zoned MB-1, but a written description had included it in a MR-3 (which allows multi-family residential) zone by error.

Joint Workshop Set When the council and the town planning board hold a joint work shop Thursday, Oct. 13, at 10 a.m. at town hall the sand dune alteration ordinance is one of several items on the agenda. They also plan to dis cuss reduction of the overall amount of land set aside for business/com mercial use, including a proposed amendment to the town land use plan update, and possible rezoning of a mainland business tract owned by Odell Williamson. The boards will also consider pro posed amendments to the beach business (BB-1) district zoning that would more clearly specify the types of sales, equipment rentals and of fices/public buildings allowed. It would also require a special use per mit for any type of entertainment es tablishment. Other Business In other business council: ? agreed to proceed to contract with Mobilnet for a 10-year lease at $6,000 per year.

Trailers and mobile homes are not considered ac cessory structures and are not al lowed as such on a lot with a princi pal building. ? approved a letter asking the General Assembly for the authority to regulate littering and debris in the Atlantic Ocean and in all other navi gable waters in or adjacent to the town. Such an ordinance would be used mainly to enforce clean-up of debris when a boat breaks up near shore.
