Shoreline Building Okayed (Continued from page 1) of a chance for failure for this reason, Horveth explained. Only one person from the public citizenry present at the hearing spoke in favor of the project. Ann Hawfield, a Littleton resident and real estate professional, reported that she believes Woods Landing will maintain very strict and very high standards and will promote the use of area gas stations and restaurants. "We can be assured that there will be substan tial families and good taxpaying property owners in the site." She noted that property values will increase for the surrounding residents of the site. Much opposition was raised by members of the Eaton's Ferry Homeowner's Association in reference to the restrictions in the Eaton's Ferry covenants. Rusty Banner, president of the association, said that these restrictions state that all the property in Eaton's Ferry be used for single-family dwellings and that the leaching field (drain field) in this project to be placed on part of the Eaton's Ferry Estates' land would be in violation of this restriction. Other members of the Eaton's Ferry Estates association reiterated Banner's views and urged board members to not attempt to over ride the restrictions in their covenant. Jim Brooks stated, "There is no development, past, preset or f"*'Jre, that wnnlH hp safe violating the restrictions that were set II years ago and have been on record in the county courthouse.'' Joseph O'Brien, a member of the Lake Gas ton Taxpayers Association, gave a number of reasons why the association was not in favor of this proposal. He said that there is a lack of fire protection, police protection, medical facilities and trash collection on the lake already and that a new development would not help these situations. He added that the secondary roads around the site are in poor condition and that approval of the project would only promote growth on Lake Gaston, something that many residents fear. "All re-zoning should be stopped tem porarily so that we can find out what our lake car endure." O'Brien mentioned the creation of a regional planning zone which would consider all future projects on the lake. The board would consist of 10 members, two from each of the following counties: Halifax, Northampton, Warren and Mecklenburg, along with Brunswick County, Va. Final approval for projects would remain within the affected county, O'Brien said. "We need somebody to look at the big picture of the development around the lake," he said. "Do not allow growth just for growth's sake." Rapid development without an overall plan is like "killing the goose that laid the golden egg."

Helping Hand Proves Costly The gesture of lending $5 to a "friend in need" has proved to be more costly than anticipated for a Liberia-area man.
