Canal Dredging Planned This Winter At Holden Beach BY DOUG RUTTER The five finger canals and two connectors in the Harbor Acres sub division on Holden Beach will most likely he dredged this winter if the town can find a contractor to do the work. Despite advertising the project ar.^ mailing bid specifications to six dredging contractors. Town Man ager Gus Ulrich said last week only one c ompany submitted a bid. The tcwn was required to adver tise a second time, and Ulrich said he planned to open bids Thursday afternoon. Even if the town receives one bid this time around, it can legally award a contract. Holden Beach Commissioners could hire a contractor as early as their Nov. 7 meeting. Ulrich report ed at last Wednesday's meeting it would probably take between sue weeks and 90 days to do the work. The town plans to coordinate the project on behalf of property owners in the neighborhood who requested the dredging, which is needed to keep the canals navigable. Lot owners will be assessed for the full cost of the dredging plus the town's cost for administering the project. Each person's assessment will be based on how much property they own along the canals. Until a contract is awarded, Ulrich said he will not have an esti mated cost per lot. Ulrich said channels in the five finger canals will de dredged to a width of 30 feet and a depth of 5 feet below mean low water. The connector canal that runs par allel to the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and the entrance canal that provides access to the waterway will be dredged 40 feet wide and six feet deep. Ulrich said Holden Beach Enter prises has given permission for the dredge material to be placed on its property, and the Army Corps of Engineers will allow water to be placed in one of its spoil sites. The bid specifications ? the same ones used for the recent dredging in Holden Beach Harbor ? say the contractor is not responsible for damage to boats, floating docks or piers in the canals. "I'm sure they will be as careful as they can," said Ulrich. But he al so advised that property owners should remove boats and swing floating docks out of the way when the dredging starts. Commissioner David jatiuiici said five or six property owners re ported damage to piers and floating docks when Heritage Harbor was aiedged a couple years ago. During last week's public hearing on the project, several homeowners said the main reason the canals need dredging is the erosion of lots that are not bulkheaded. Town commissioners recently considered passing an ordinance that would have required bulkheads on all lots after a two-year grace period, but it was voted down. Commissioner Jim Fournier said last week the ordinance will come up for consideration again. Cul-De-Sac Coining? Town board members want Ulrich to ask the N.C. Department of Transportation to "stake off" a cul de-sac at the end of Ocean Boule vard West. Commissioners said last week they want to see what a cul-de-sac at the end of the public road would look like before deciding whether to ask the state to build it. People who own homes near the end of OBW have complained about vehicles turning around on their property when they reach the guard house at the entrance of the private Holden Beach West subdivision. Property owners in Holden Beach West also have complained about vehicles causing damage to their pri vate road when they drive past the guard house and turn around. Rezoning Proposed Commissioners held public hear ings last week on the proposed re zoning of two tracts along Ocean Boulevard West. There were no comments from the audience, but one letter writer objected to a planning board recom mendation to rezone the ocean front area formerly known as Mace's Trailer Park. The tract includes oceanfront lots starting at 633 and ending at 655 OBW. Planners have suggested the zoning of the lots be changed from C-l (commercial) to R-l (residen tial). In a letter to the town, property owner Ron D. Crowder opposed the proposed change. He wrote that the property was William Temple Allen, CPA, P.A.

Crowder added that it's not fair for the town to rczcr.e property without the owner's permission if it will lower value or restrict its use. Commissioner Sid Swarts pointed out that there's only one lot in the area under consideration that does not have a single-family house on it There is a home on the Crowder lot. There were no public comments on another planning board recom mendation to change the zoning in the Davis Heniford subdivision, for merly Campground By The Sea, from R-2 to R-l. Commissioners did not vote on either of the rezoning proposals. Deed Accepted In other business last week, com missioners accepted the deed for a beach access way between 118 and 120 Ocean Boulevard East. Leo and Rose Cole donated the property. RE-ELECT JERRY W.
