Shady Forest was 1 once a municipality, nut was later p unincorporated by the General a Assembly. It has been under county S jurisdiction since 1985. d Harvey explained that this area would be included in the extrater- l ritorial jurisdiction of the towns and t would eliminate "a small pocket con- v Two County One-Stop S BY RAHN ADAMS t Brunswick County officials are I working on a plan that would save t homebuilders a few steps when they apply for permits at the county i government complex in Bolivia. i According to County Health Direc- i tor Michael Barrett-Rhodes, the health department and building in- f spections department are studying a < proposal that would enable in- \ dividuals to obtain septic tank permits and building permits at the same office. "It's all just in the thinking stages right now," Barrett-Rhodes said last week, "but we do hope to do something like that in the near future." "Hopefully we're looking at being able to provide a better service to some of our citizens and streamline ' our operation," he added. Barrett-Rhodes said the plan has 1 been discussed for the past several c months. Environmental Health 1 Supervisor John Crowder and Chief v Building Inspector Billy Ingram were to meet about the proposal Tuesday. Ingram said last week that he was unfamiliar with the details of the proposal but would favor it "if it will benefit the public." k Besides being more convenient for ^ hnrt^nKnlMnri' V\/> nrnnnnnrl /iVinnffnn iuiiiwuuuuvio, tin. pi wpv/oiu niaugio would make the permitting process P easier for the county, mainly by cutting down on the paperwork involved in refunding Cct tain tees, said county Manager John T.

The proposed ordinance also includes minor adjustments which will dlow the ETA border to fall on lot ines which had not been established vhen the original border was ulopted. Under the original ordinance, nany lots are bisected by the bi rder ind property owners have experiene d problems detennining which town las jurisdiction. Lots included in the extrateritorial jurisdiction area of Sunset leach are subject to that town's zonng regulations, while properties inluded in the Calabash ETA are not egulated because the town doesn't lave zoning ordinances for its ETA. Following the discussion and igreement by Calabash Council, larvey complimented both towns on heir cooperation in the change, saytig, "I think it will clear up a lot of nisunderstanding."

Under the proposal agreed to by Calabash, the ETA border would stick basically to the line 500 feet west of N.C. 179, including the Shady Forest subdivision. The other areas included in the Sunset Beach proposal are Heritage Haven, Bonaparte's Retreat II and an undeveloped tract bordering the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. The inclusion of these tracts would not conflict with the proposed border adjustment with Calabash. Sunset Beach Council will hold a public hearing on these extraterritorial additions at 7:30 p.m. on March 7, prior tu the board's regular monthly meeting. Methods Revised In other business Mondav. Calabash council members approved a new system of payment for the town's building inspector which is expected to prevent future salary problems in that department. Under the revised system, the building inspector will be paid at the end of each month for any work completed during that month. This includes issuance of building permits poking At Permits "The problem with bureaucracy is we're drowning in paperwork," Smith commented. "That would be the only way we could get by without giving refunds." Smith said the proposal would have to be approved by Brunswick County Commissioners and the Board of Health before it could be implemented.

Effective March 29, the town board will meet the second and fourth Tuesday of each month at 5:30 p.m. The change comes as a result of the conflicting work schedules of some town council members. and actual inspections completed. Previously, the building inspector was paid in full for any permits issued during a given month, regardless c? how manv inspections were completed. The new system was developed by Building Inspector Frank Adams, who said former inspector Bill Dunker was paid in full for the 74 permits he issued in the final months of his service, despite the fact that he completed very few inspections. Since Dunker left with full payment for all the permits he had issued through December, Adams will have to complete many of the inspections and be reimbursed by the town. Adams said he has about 500 inspections to complete for which Dunker has already been paid. He said a fee of about $7 per inspection, about half of the normal rate, would be fair to him. Under this proposal, the town would have to pay him approximately $3,500 to complete the inspections for which uuiiKcr nas aireaay Deen paid. Mayor Doug Simmons and Councilman Keith Hardee both said Dunker should be forced to return some of the money he didn't earn but no steps were discussed to recover the funds.

However, Adams and Town Clerk Janet Thomas said Monday that Dunker had agreed to give up that pay. He left the town Jan. 16 after his two-year probationary certification had expired. Construction Approaches Also Monday, Alan I>ewis, consulting engineer with the town water system, said construction of Phase I should begin shortly. He said the pre-construction conference had been scheduled for Wednesday morning and that W&S Underground could start laying the pipe anytime after that. However, an easement needed by the town to extend water service to several waterfront businesses has still not been acquired. The easement is needed between the properties of i/ciuiun Nance and Husscll Price. "We're fast approaching construction so we do need to solve the easement situation." said I,i>wis Mayor Simmons added, "We'll do our best.

Lewis also said he had been assured that state approval of plans for the Riverview Drive loop would be received shortly. The N.C. Division of Health Services will have to approve the plans before any work can begin in that area. Personnel Discussed Following a 25-minute executive session called to discuss personnel matters, the town agreed to continue paying Mrs. Thomas' salary through the next town meeting. The town clerk will have to take some time off to care for her husband, who is sick, and will use her vacation time "sparingly" over the next thrt? weeks. In the meantime, Vickey Phelps will work as a temporary town hall secretary. She is currently employed at Lewellyn Realty in Calabash. * 1 * m lie null iv lib nuupivu In other business, council adopted an amendment to the town's flood damage prevention ordinance as requested by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. e55or i deserve )ritv j !." ?
