Town Of Sunset Beach Special Meeting
The special meeting addressed ongoing projects, specifically focusing on the Catchment 7 base storm water pipe project on Main Street from Sixth to Fourth Street. Discussion centered on the necessity to move four existing water lines (a 6-inch AC line, a 2-inch PVC line, a fire hydrant leg, and another 2-inch PVC line) due to conflicts with the new stormwater pipe installation. It was explained that the old system was inadequate, and the new system upsizes capacity, requiring relocation from private property to public right-of-ways due to lack of easements. Concerns were raised about construction delays, the timeline for completion (estimated to be post-holidays, possibly March, due to county 72-hour notice requirements for utility work which would affect the east end of the island by causing a water outage), and the requirement for the contractor to restore road surfaces (including asphalt on Sixth Street) and areas with seeding and straw. Additionally, there was discussion regarding securing the Majestic Oaks entrance point due to safety concerns related to exposed materials and unsecure access.
