Sunset Cou Public hearings, a proposed beachwear ordinance and a Ux>k at plans tor lite area formerly known as "Lol 1 A" arc among items on the agenda for the Sunset Beach Coun cil meeting Monday. The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. at town hall with live public hear ings. Chief of these arc plans for un derground utilities and the proposed annexation of a portion of Sea Trail Golf Course, a business district along N.C. 179 and a portion of Long Bay Development thai in cludes the Food Lion groccry store. Sunset Beach intends to place all electric power lines and cable tele vision lines underground within the town ' limits, assessing property owners to recover the entire cost of the project. Assessments would be based on front footage and would be payable 30 days after notice that the assess ment roll has been confirmed or on an annual installment basis with the first payment due, with interest, 60 days after the assessment roll is confirmed. The estimated cost per foot for electric and cable lines is S2.40 per linear foot. Owners of some houses would also have to pay to have the service to their homes taken under ground and for installation of new meters. The area proposed for annexation extends from the town limits along the south side of N.C. 179 to N.C. ncil Faces Cr 9<)4, forming a 36-acrc strip now zoned commcrcial that fronts the Seaside Station subdivision. On the north side of N.C. 179 the new town limit would skirl around the Sugar Sands I patio home sites and Sugar Sands II development area. While excluding the home sites, the tract would take in nine holes of the Dan Maples golf course then extend across N.C. 179 to take in primarily the Food Lion shopping complex. The planned location lor a new NCNB branch at the intersec tion of N.C. 179 and N.C. 904 would also be included. At the Saturday meeting of the Sunset Beach Taxpayers Associa tion, President Clelus Waldmiller said he has several questions regard ing the annexation he hopes will be answered at the Dec. 3 hearing. "They could be asking the town to buy a pig in a poke," he said. Waldmiller said he doesn't under stand why the petitioners are seek ing annexation by the town. A pre vious annexation effort was linked to efforts by the grocery store to ob tain the right to sell beer and wine, which was resolved when county voters approved an ABC referen dum last November. The town is anticipating annual revenues of at least S77,(XX) from the annexed area, for a projected ex penditure of S12,<XX) to S15,(KK), he said. "If they're willing to pay 5>77,tXK) a year you can figure they want owded Agen S77,(KX) in services," he speculated. Both Waldmillcr anil Jack Thom as, a member of the board of direc tors of the Sunset Beach Volunteer Fire Department, raised concerns about the adequacy of the town's water supply. Waldmillcr questioned whether the town has adequate water to ser vice additional areas. While not taking a position on the annexation, Thomas said the fire de partment already has concerns about the water supply. II there were a fire at Ocean Isle Beach or Shallotte, he said, pressure on the trunk line run ning to Sunset Beach would not be sufficient for fircfighting there. Also, it was noted, the town must maintain an adequate reserve in iLs tanks for firefighting purposes, a re serve that is difficult to maintain dur ing the peak-usage summer months. Town officials have appealed to county officials to move ahead with proposed improvements in the wa ter system in southwestern Bruns wick County, w ith no commitments to date. Oilier hearings are scheduled on a minor amendment of zoning district lines in one section of Sea Trail Plantation, a routine update of the town's Hood damage prevention in surance study anil supporting maps; and an ordinance aimed at protect ing the frontal dunes from human disturbance. The council is also expected to be da Monday gin discussion of plans lor "Lot I A." a 100-foot-wide strip ol occanlroni property also known as Sunset Boulevard from Main Street to the Occan. Alter accepting the strip lor public use as a street, members ask ed the planning board to propose a suitable plan for its use. Waldmiller said at Saturday's SB TA meeting that lie had been "un successful" in proposing ideas to the town for use of the proj>eriy, in cluding development of a drop off point lor unloading beachgoers and their gear before returning to anoth er parking area, parking and/or an access and seating area for the el derly and physically handicapped to enjoy a view of the ocean. Also on the agenda are the audit report for 1989-90, an employees' Christmas bonus, a proposed ordi nance to regulate bcachwcar. in cluding prohibition of "G-string" or "thong" type bathing suits on the public beach and a community fa cilities plan. The plan outlines anticipated cap ital needs for town departments and the fire department. Town Admini strator Linda Fluegcl would like to sec council members begin budget ing money in a special fund each year to help finance needs identified in the plan. These range from re modeling of the existing town ad ministrative offices to matching a state grant for development of a sewer system.
