With construction of its $5 millionplus
sewer system underway, Ocean
Isle Beach commissioners started
discussing plans Tuesday to expand
its capacity to keep pace with accelerated
growth.
Commissioners met in special session
at 9 a.m., hiring the engineering
firm of Henry von Oesen &
Associates to begin preliminary work
on Phase II at a total cost of about
$14,000.
In addition to expanding the

An Ocean Isle Beach business got a
temporary break Tuesday morning
when the town's Zoning Board of Adjustments
tabled action on a request
for a variance.
CBN Associates had sought permission
from the town to keep a concrete,
36-foot-wide driveway at Sand
Dollar Realty, located on the
causeway to the island. i
In an apparent unintentional viola- i
tion of the town's zoning ordinance, i
the entire span had been poured ail j
the way to the street's curb and gut- I
ter. Driveways that serve businesses
are not supposed to be paved?to i
allow more surface for absorption for !
runoff, Street Commissioner Odell I
Williamson explained.
Both he and Debbie Fox, a town (
commissioner, agreed with CBN i
spokesman Nick Newton that the t
compromise he proposed Tuesday
morning would be an improvement t
over existing ordinances. They also I

overall capacity of the system. Phase
II will serve the extreme east end of
the beach, the least developed portion
of the town and the only area not
included in Phase I.
With potentially few sites near the
town suitable for wastewater
disposal, commissioners said they
want to study all alternatives?including
possible use of the
Ocean Isle Beach Golf Course for
spray irrigation.

Rather than regulate through granting
individual variances, though,
board members said they would
prefer to study the zoning ordinance
for possible revision.
Newton wants to leave the
driveway paved, but tear out aprons
on either side where a sidewalk will
eventually cross. In the meantime he
plans to plant shrubs and flowers
there.
"In C-2, where we do have curbs
and gutters," agreed Odell Williamson,
"we could allow them to pave
the driveway."

for variance, members said the

Phase II Ol
a regional sewer study completed
more than 10 years ago identified only
a few suitable sites that were not
prime development property, some
of which may no longer be available
or may be too far away to be costeffective.
Commissioners specified to
William (Bill) E. Burnett, an environmental
planner with the
engineering firm, that they want all
reasonable alternatives checked out
before the town invests in a detailed
hydrogeological study of one site.

"We don't need Ocean Isle Beach
paving parking areas right up to the
curb," said Odell Wiiliamson. "What
you're going to have if you allow that
is cars backing up and hanging over
(into the roadway). You can't provide
that amenity for visitors and not
expect them to use it."
In addition, he added that the
36-foot-wide driveway would serve as
a "canal," channeling stormwater
runoff into street manholes intended
to handle runoff from the road, not
adjoining lots. A 20-foot-wide
driveway would be better, he said,
questioning whether the state permitted
extra wide drives. Newton
said the realty company had gotten a
permit for it.
Both Commissioner Fox and the
mayor pointed out that in considering
the matter, the town needs to keep in
mind new stormwater rules being
developed by the state.
In other action, the zoning board of
adjustments changed its regular
meeting time from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30
a.m.

McGraw emphasized the goal of

the skills they need to live and work
as independently as possible.
The interagency program, serving
primarily the mentally retarded, is a
joint venture of Brunswick Technical
College, Brunswick County Public
Schools, Southeastern Mental Health
Center and Brunswick County Advocates
for Retarded Citizens. In
operation approximately one year,
the project anticipates growth as
more citizens learn of its availability
and growth.
1-ocated on the grounds of the
technical college in Supply, the program
welcomes visitors.

In a letter to the town, the firm had
proposed the golf course as an obvious
alternative, with the owners
agreeable to the idea.
But Mayor LaDane Bullington
stressed that 311 other alternatives
should be studied first.
"We don't want to buy any more
than we need," she cautioned, "but
we don't want a short-term fix
either."
Ideally the expansion will serve the
town at least 15 to 20 years, she said.
