C "Ictus (Clete) A. Waldmillei says he is seeking elec
tion to the town council because resident and non-resi
dent taxpayers on the island need a voice on the Sunset
Beach Town Council.
Building density on the island is the top issue he leels
the council needs U? address. I"he island is between 75
percent ami 80 percent developed,
he estimates, ami he questions
whether developers might want to
build upward. Presently high-rise
construction is not allowed on the
island under the current /oiling ordi
nance.
Waldmillcr says the present couii
y cil is actively pursuing a sewer sys
tem lor the town, but he asks, "Who
says one is needed? What will hap

pen il one is not buili' Wh;ti will
hap|K*n it one is built?"
A pro|x>sed suite high-rise bridge to the island is also
a concent ol Waldmillcr. who has campaign against
such a bridge as president ol the Sunset Beach
Taxpayers Association, which recently won a legal de
cision that resulted in a new, more detailed enviromnen
tal study ol the bridge' potential impact. "It is ludicrous
to spend SI 2 million to build a bridge to this tiny is
land," he says.
Waldmillcr, who moved to Sunset Beach alter retir
ing Irom IBM w ith \1 years service, says he has attend
ed almost every town council meeting over the past
four years and have kept up to date on the issues and
has s|x>kcn tmt against several issues "when appropri

tremely interested in being a part of
thai process
( >ne ol the top issues Sanborn ex
ih.-v.Is to addiess in the conum! term
is the installation ol a sower system
in District I.
He said a sewer system would
improve the cnviroiinient, stabilize
the tax base ol the business commu
nity and allow for orderly growth in
that area.

Calabash, he said, will enable the
town to govern the area more effi
ciently and expand additional ser
vices to the residents.
"Solid waste ilis|>osal and the re
duclion ol the waste stream through
recycling will be iiii|>crativc, both
liom an etiviroiiHK'ntal as|>ect as
well as legislative mandates,'" he
said.
As the incumbent, Sanbom said
he's the most qualified candidate. "1
have demonstrated, clearly, that
hat the town does must be done in
a conservative, cost-effective man

life ol the residents."
