Sunset Beach Moves To Extend Limits
BY DOR I C()S(JROVK
gur(;anus
Sunset Bcach council members
agreed Monday night to another ex
tension of the town's boundaries.
The town council voted 4-1 to
annex lots six through 10 of Long
Bay Development at Seaside.
Al Odom, the only member to
vote against annexation, said that he
has never been in favor of this sort
of action.
"In all my four years on the coun
cil, 1 can't remember ever voting for
annexation," he said, "I always vote
against annexation. I don't think we
need to fix a problem that isn't bro
ken."
The area being annexed, which is
adjacent to the new post office be
ing constructed on N.C. 9()4, is the
first of three small annexations
planned along N.C. 9(M.
Once an adjoining piece of land
is annexed by a town, it arc free to
annex the next adjoining section in
to the town boundaries, explained
Linda Flucgcl, town administrator.
Council members agreed to pro
ceed with the involuntary annexa
tion of the land on which the post
office sits at their December meet
ing. Once this annexation is com
plete, the town can consider a re
quest for voluntary annexation from
several property owners of lots be
yond the post office tract.
The council also agreed to dis
cuss the planning board's recom
mendation on extension of the ETA
(extra-territorial area) at their next
meeting.
Planning Board Chairman
Richard Good, said the board rec
ommends the town extend its ETA
from Seaside along N.C. 904 to Old
Georgetown Road, along the en
trance to Sand Piper Golf Plantation
and The Pearl Golf Links.
Good told council members that
the proposal is in keeping with reg
ulations that allow a town to extend
its ETA up to one mile beyond the
present boundary'.
"This is an area that is underde
veloped, and if it is going to be de
veloped, we want to sec to it that
it's done properly," said Good.
Mrs. Flucgcl and Mike Isenberg,
attorney for Sunset Beach, agreed to
draw up the necessary description to
be approved by. the council at the
December meeting.
The council members also ap
proved the withdrawal of approxi
mately 550 feet from 19th Street,
which frees it up for the property
owners to bulkhead.
Ronald Spangler, who owns the
west side of the road, would retain
his portion of the eroded land, while
the east side would be divided
among the other property owners,
Fluegel said.
Other Business
In other business, council mem
bers:
?Approved a plat of Oyster Point II
subdivision as recommended by the
planning board.
?Agreed to allow David Kanoy to
continue to use the town water tow
er for his communications business
at a fee of S50 per month. The
council changed the town's contract
with Kanoy, however, to state that
his boxes must now be placed on
the outside of the water tank. In the
past employees had trouble reach
ing a valve used during winteriza
tion of the lank because the instru
menus were located inside the lank.
The county water department has
been pitying the electric bill for
heaters used to keep the communi
cation boxes warm in cold weather,
Mrs. Fluegel said.
?Heard a request I'rom Sunset
Beach Police Chief J.B. Buell for a
work session with the police depart
ment to discuss the need to expand
police protection as the town grows.
? Heard from Mrs. Fluegel that a
proposed new sewer contract be
tween the town and Powell and
Associates of North Myrtle Beach
had not been received in the mail as
of Monday. Changes were made to
the contract at the October meeting,
and council members are waiting
for a response from the contractor.
?Voted to change the wording ol
the contract between the town and
the volunteer lire department pro
vide that it "must" rather than
"may" be renewed annually.
Council members saiil this would
ensure that they consider the con
tract each year. They also voted to
approve the ammended contract for
another year once the VFD agrees
to the new wording.
?Agreed to replace a tree, which is
now a stump, in Blanc Court with a
new, sizeable tree using town funds,
as requested by Walter Holi on be
half of residents of the street.
?Heard Council member Bud
Scrantom report that he hail "a com
mittment" for recycling service in
Sunset Beach through the end of
November.
?Agreed to change the lime of town
council meetings to 7 p.m. during
winter months, as opposed to the
previous lime of 7:30 p.m.
