THE ROANOKE BEACON
BOARD TO DECIDE FATE OF PEA RIDGE SUBDIVISION
PLAN
Residents will have a chance to ask questions or speak for or
against a proposed development at Pea Ridge next week.
Developers of
Waterside at The Point-----planned to include 84 condominiums units, 21 town
homes and 74 single family lots---are seeking variances from the zoning
ordinance and subdivision regulations.
If all goes well, they will break
ground next month.
Robert Farris told the planning board that Waterside
at The Point would be a retirement community., developed "to take advantage of
the beautiful views over the sound."
Constructed in phases with
condominiums completed first, Farris said they hope to "create a community where
people can retire in the country without worrying about
maintenance."
Plans include walking trails, a clubhouse, pool, tennis
courts, and a commercial area. They hope to lure a small pharmacy, doctor's
office, convenience store and beauty shop to the business section "to provide
basic services to make it: : a comfortable place to be."
The
development will be a high end residential community on 50 acres of land that
crosses State Route 32 in the Pea Ridge Community. The various phases are
expected to take four to five years.
Planning board members voted during
their meeting Thursday, March 15, to set the matter up for public hearing, a
requirement before approving or denying the request. Developers are seeking
variances in the lot size and setback regulations.
Planning board chair
Pat White indicated that he still has concerns about how close the houses are to
each other.
As planned, the condominiums will be constructed with steel
and concrete and will be about as hurricane proof as they can
be.
Discussed: the problems some developers are encountering getting
septic approval. One potential developer was told it would that it would take
about a year to get an inspector to the site for complete necessary soil
analysis. "{It} could be a year just to get them to go out there and say no, "
Collins commented. |

| Washington County
History
Founded
in 1799, Washington County is named after
the father of our country, General George
Washington. Located in the northeast
corner of North Carolina, the county make
up a portion of the southern shore of
Albemarle Sound. Plymouth, the county
seat, was the site of the last major
Confederate victory of the Civil War. The
victory was especially historically
notable in that it was largely due to the
Confederate 'ironclad' ship, the Ram
Albemarle.
The
Port O’ Plymouth Museum, established
in 1988 by the Washington County
Historical Society, is located in the old
Seaboard Coastline depot on the Roanoke
River in Downtown Plymouth. The structure
is near the site of the sinking of the Ram
Albemarle, the
Confederate ironclad. Exhibits are
rotated frequently to help portray an
excellent perspective of early life in
the region.
Somerset
Place, a partially restored antebellum
plantation, was once the third largest
plantation in North Carolina. It is the
site of the Historic
Homecoming of
descendants of slaves.
Pettigrew
State Park has the largest collection of
Indian dug-out canoes in America, the
oldest dating back some 4400 years.
