Va ma mtown Permit For Bo To Seek at Ramp HY DOUG RUTTER Varnamtown officials arc one step closcr to rebuilding the community's boat ramp on Lockwood Folly Riv er, voting Monday to apply for a state permit needed to do the work. Despite previous opposition from a handful of residents who live near the waterfront, aldermen voted un animously to submit a CAMA per mit application. Board member Ton ya Robbins was absent. Earlier plans to build a boat ramp 44 feet wide have been scaled down by the town's planning board. It has recommended a ramp 16 feet wide on land owned by Nicky Varnam, Junior Thompson and Blondell Rob inson. In January, a dozen residents who live near the ramp turned out at a town meeting to oppose the planned improvements. They said fixing the ramp would draw more boaters to Varnamtown and make existing parking problems worse. At the board's February meeting. Mayor Judy Galloway announced that she had received a petition con taining 87 signatures of people sup porting town plans to rebuild the fa cility. Alderman Ada McDonald also re ported at that time that the town had come up with a solution to the prob lem of parked vehicles that block driveways near the ramp. In addition to leasing property for the ramp, she said Varnam had agreed to provide land along Var namtown Road for boat ramp park ing. Town officials want to fix the ramp because people damage their boats when they use it. Trash Pickup Coming? Vamamtown's finance committee has started working on the 1993-94 budget and plans to meet again Tuesday, April 27. At Monday's meeting, aldermen kicked mound the idea of including money for trash pickup in next year's budget. Several board mem bers said residents have asked for pickup. Town officials agreed that if a company is hired to pick up garbage, the residents and business owners would have to foot most the bill. "I can't see having trash pickup and the users not pay," McDonald said. Mayor Pro Tem Ennis Swain, chairman of the finance committee, said estimated prices for trash pick up two years ago were about S8 per house per month. He said the cost is probably higher now. Mayor Galloway said the town would have to poll residents to see how many would sign up for trash pickup and be willing to pay for it. "1 don't know how much more we can get in the budget this year," PT ? ???? >- '*7 ^ : STAfF PHOTO BY DOUG IUTT?

Town officials said they don't want bulk containers in town be cause people from outside the com munity would use them. No Rim Hangers, Please To serve the community's youth, Varnamtown officials plan to put up two basketball goals in the town hall parking lot. There's a catch. If the goals are de stroyed by people hanging on the rim they'll only be replaced one time. Resident Tcrrencc Galloway had suggested the town install basketball goals at last month's meeting, but town officials wanted to first check with their insurance company. Town Clerk Lucllcn Norris report ed Monday thai the town couldn't be held liable if someone was injured playing ball unless it could be proven the town was negligent.

Such pollution as we may have is caused primarily by storm water run-off. *Sewer systems traditionally result in over-development, which in turn adds to storm water run-off, as pointed out in the 1984 environmental impact study done by the EPA. *Above is exemplified by the New Hanover sewer system which has added up to four or five times the original dollar amount and has not prevented the waters around Wilming ton from continuing to be closed to shellfishing. *A sewer system on Holden Beach will benefit only the special interest groups and we will lose our family beach atmosphere.
