BY RAHN ADAMS
A updated draft of Brunswick
County’s land use plan calls for coun-
ty support and encouragement of
public t)cach access.
If approved, the policy would
reverse the county's past position
that beach access is the shared
responsibility of municipal and state
governments.
County planning officials introduc
ed a revised draft of the county’s
Coastal Area Management Act
ICAMA) plan to commissioners at a
special joint meeting last Wednesday
night in Bolivia.
The joint meeting immediately
followed a brief work session by
county planning board members.
Planning Director John Harvey
and Wilmington planning consultant
Barry Griffith of Edward D. Stone
Jr. and Associates explained the pro
posed plan to commi.ssioners and em
phasized the importance of the plan’s
policy section.
“These are the policies the county
would be saying they’re going to of
ficially adopt," Griffith .said.
Also, Griffith added that he feels
the ‘‘general’’ nature of cerUiin
policies in the plan, such as the one
on public access, is good in that it
allows flexibility of interpretation.
The proposed access policy states:
Commissioners Seek
Appointments Opinion
BY RAHN ADAMS
Bruaswick County commissioners
are awaiting word from the state that
could affect the makeup of local
boards.
At a meeting last Wednesday night
in Bolivia, Commissioner Chris
Chappell obtained the board’s per
mission to have County Attorney
David Clegg write the state attorney
general’s office for an opinion con
cerning the difference between
policy-making boards and advisory
boards.
.Slate law forbids persons from
holding more than two public offices.
•At issue is what constitutes a public
office.
Chappell told commissioners he
had received a call from a District 1
constituent who expressed concern
about an elected municipal official
who also serves on two county boards
by appointment of the board of com
missioners.
.-\lthough he did not identify the of
ficial, Chappell said the boards in
cluded the county’s planning board
and utilities operations board.
Sunset Beach Mayor Pro tern Ed
Gore ser\'es on the county planning
board and utilities operations board.
At least one other local elected of
ficial currently serves on more than
one appointed board. Navassa Mayor
Bobby Brown senses on the county
social services board and county
recreation advisory board.
The letter being sent to the at
torney general was written by Coun
ty Attorney David Clegg at
Chappell’s instruction. Chappell read
the letter to commissioners prior to
their approval.
Chappell said he wanted the at
torney general’s opinion to clarify
the difference between the two
boards in question, to clarify what
constitutes public office.
He pointed out that the planning
board is a governing body, with
authority to approve subdivisions;
however, the utilities operations
board serves only in an advi.sory
capacity to commissioners.
A check last week with the N.C. In
stitute of Government in Chapel Hill
indicated that state law apparently
rin^.^ look at the iwo types of boards
differently.
"The attorney general’s office in
the past has taken the position that
advisory positions are not public of
fices,” said David I.awrencc of the
Institute of Government.
But Institute officials added that
defLnitions of even advisory posts can
be confusing.

LENDER
"Bruaswick County .supports and en-
cour.'iges efforts to provide
rea.soiiablc public access to the
beaches and coa.sUil waterfronts."
Following the joint meeting, Board
of Coininissioners Chairman Grace
Beasle.v said that during her tenure
the county board has denied requests
to help fund beach accc.ss programs;
however, she said those rcfu.saLs
were for budgetary reasons.
Both Holden Beach and .Sunset
Beach had sought financial
a.ssisliince for beach acce.ss from the
county.
No comment from commi.ssioners
was made on the CA.MA plan’s pro
posed beach access pblicy at last
Wednesday’s meeting.
"I knew we were going to ha%'c
public input on it. " .Ms. Beasley said.
■'When it's their (the public’s) Uix
dollar.s you're spending, they have
the right to give their input and have
It heard."
Ms. Beasley said she feels county
involvement in future beach access
programs would be considered on an
individual basis, with cost as a deter
mining factor.
Commissioners scheduled a public
hearing on the proposed CA.MA plan
for Oct. 5 at 7:30 p.m. at the county
government complex in Bolivia.
In reference to another section of
the proposed plan. Commissioner
Jim Poole suggested addition of a
policy to encourage the eventual con
struction of underground utilities in
Brunswick County. Griffith .said a
policy to that effect could be added to
the draft before it is submitted to the
-State.
The state has set an Oct. 7 deadline
for adoption of the plan by county
commissioners.
.According to Planning Director
Haney. Haskell Hhett of the N.C.
Dept, of Natural Resources and Com
munity Development has agreed to
informally review the county’s new
draft prior to the Oct. 5 public hear
ing.
Last year, Rhett was highly
critical of an earlier draft submitted
by the county.
Harvey also said Brunswick
municipalities will be provided
copies of the draft as soon as possi
ble.
