|Comproi
BY SUSAN USHER
Two Brunswick County beach
towns will work closely with the N.C.
Department of Transportation to
solve some of their parking problems
through compromise.
The governing boards of both
towns met separately Thursday mor;
ning with DOT representatives, but
discussed similar concerns: how to
1 balance the rights of beachfront property
owners with those ol visitors to
the state-owned beaches as they
! relate to parking.
At Sunset Beach, a new committee
will be formed to develop short- and
long-range parking recommendations,
wlule at Holden Beach, the
town will work with a DOT engineer
to see where parking can safely be
allowed along Ocean Boulevard and
! where no parking signs or speed
zones are needed
Holden Beach and Sunset Beach
are unique among the state's coastal
communities: This year both prohibited
parking along state road
rights-of-way on the islands.
A new Sunset Beach council lifted
the ban there on Dec. 2. but Mayor
Pro tem Kd Gore, who opposed the
rescission, said that doesn't mean the
town's parking problem is solved
Sunset first allowed property
owners to bar parking on their property
by erecting signs at their own
expense, then a short while later
enacted the no parking ordinance

said Town Administrator Wallace
Martin Excluded are those on townowned
streets, such as the east end
extension, and for safety reasons, the

Holden Beach banned right-of-way
parking, but hasn't enforced the ordinance
during the fall fishing season
or erected many signs

the town had not planned adequati

problem needed to be addressed i
mediately, especially since mu
heavier traffic is expected next yc

"It's going to take all of us,"
continued. "This is a reasons'
bunch of people here at this tabl?
think we can come up with a cc
promise, something right down

Stanley said complaints ab
parking appear to be a spin-off of
controversy over the closing of i
privately owned west end extens
of Ocean Boulevard to the public.
Visitors to both beaches have co
plained to the N.C. Department
Transportation that the parking h;
restrict access to all but a small p
lion of the beachfront because

"A prohibition of parking at acc<

"But we also feel that putting
total ban on parking is going a lit

Coastal towns are in a unique pc
tion because they are the acei

Most people who buy property in tl
area, for instance, said llardesty,
it with the expectation of having i
cess to the beach "forever."
