Proposed rezoning for Apartment Complex adjacent to CVS Pharmacy
On Wednesday, March 20, a town meeting was held for residents to voice their concerns about the proposed apartment complex. Over 100 residents from the town of Carolina Shores was present with only about 65 allowed inside the meeting room.
On March 26, the Town of Carolina Shores website states the developer has withdrawn the application for the conditional use permit ending the controversy, copy attached. The town meeting attendees made a difference!
Pavilion
This project began as an idea based on a need, spanning several years in planning and development and will be completed by April 1. This venue, an addition to the recreation area, was completely paid for with money from the reserve account thus relieving residents from an assessment.
Reserve Account
The Reserve Account was created in about 2009 as a component of a long-term plan to repair, update, build, and replace our facilities as deemed necessary. This action was a bold move, having the foresight to predict future needs and the necessary funds for completion. Annually, a portion of our dues is allocated to the reserve account. Routine maintenance for our common areas, such as POA buildings, parking lots and recreation facilities, are estimated in the reserve study. For example, when the clubhouse roof wears out, the money is in “reserve” for its replacement.
Over the last ten (10) years the reserve has paid for remodeling of the clubhouse, clubhouse roof, pool deck, pool landscaping, pool house remodeling, tennis court resurfacing, and many other repairs and improvements. Although our neighborhood is aging, these amenities are improved and probably better than when they were originally built. In essence, the creation of the reserve has added value to our neighborhood and makes our homes more desirable. We have much to be proud of in our community!

ACC Corner – Joe Martere, ACC Chairperson
This month’s article is on the DoR requirement for A/C heat pump, generator and propane tank screens. There are guidelines in place, approved by the CSPOA Board, on what constitutes an accepted screening of these units. You can find these guidelines online at our website www.carolinashorespoa.org under “Forms & Procedures”. Basically, the screen is required for ANY unit that can be seen from ANY street or the CSPOA recreation pool and tennis areas. The golf course does not count as a recreation area. If in question of what you need to do, please contact the POA office and someone will give you the information you need.
If you receive a letter from the ACC, it doesn’t mean one of your neighbors “ratted you out”. It very well could have been observed by ACC members as they go out into the community doing their required response to a homeowner’s request. If you receive a letter from the ACC, PLEASE do as instructed and call or-mail your response to us within seven (7) days of the date of the letter or the time stated in the letter. Going on various talk sites does not help in resolving the issue. The ACC will work with you to resolve the issue.
Remember as always, if you are in doubt, it is better to call the office for clarification.

Although
our March meeting had only a few members present, illness sidelined quite a
few, those of us there had a very pleasant time just chatting and getting
caught up with each other as well as discussing local issues and events that
are coming up.
The group meets the second Tuesday of each month at the POA Club House at 5:00 p.m. Any single person who would like to join us is always welcome. Please call me at 575-2339 if you need transportation. We would be glad to see you there at the April 9 meeting. We each bring a dish to share and our own beverage.
Knit ‘n Natter – Diana Mardall
Did you know Carolina
Shores has an evening knitting/crocheting/needlework group? We meet every other
Monday at 6.30 p.m. in the POA Library. If you knit, crochet or do other
needlework, stop by and join us. We’d love to see new faces.
The group meets and shares patterns and expertise. We work on a variety of projects including sweaters, cardigans, afghans, shawls, cross stitch, arm knitting (that was a blast!), etc. Usually we even have dessert!
Our meetings in April will be on the 1st, 15th and 29th at 6.30 p.m.
If you have any questions, email me at limeylady70@gmail.com or call me at 910-575-7804.
Book Discussion Group – Susie Riggs
Two tales of family drama and conflict, one a memoir
and the other historical fiction, were the reading selections discussed at our
March meeting. Educated, by Tara Westover recounts the author’s life
growing up amidst violence and dysfunction as the youngest child of an extreme
survivalist family in Idaho. Salt Houses, by Hala Alyan, is a novel
about eight members of a Palestinian family who experience displacement due to
war and other circumstances. While both stories are heartbreaking and at times
painful to read, the authors are able to convey a feeling of hope as the
protagonists manage to overcome their difficult circumstances.
Our April meeting will be held on Friday, April 19 at 10:00 AM in the POA Library. We will be discussing The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See. Any Carolina Shores residents who enjoy reading and discussing books are invited to attend.
Renegades – Deb Courtemanche
Our hosts for April are Dolores Sanborn and
Sharon Clark; our Tee Time is 9:00 a.m.
Renegades held their Shamrock Shuffle on March 14 to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. We had twenty (20) people play with a Blind Lone Ranger format. Winners were: 1st place - Debbie Creamer, Sue Keck, Debbie O’Dell, Pat Farrell with a 69; 2nd place - Mary Lee Miltier, Jim Keck, Deb Courtemanche, Linda Mullins with a 70; 3rd place - Dolores Sanborn, Jim Courtemanche, Cindy Baker, Don Rose also with a 70; and 4th place - Kay Craig, Joe Clark, Donna Watkins, and Tom Miltier with a 72. We had a beautiful day and then dinner and cocktails at the Carolina Shores Club House. Thanks to Philip and Jennifer for a lovely evening!
The Renegades play every Thursday morning at Carolina Shores Golf & Country Club. If you have just moved to the area or if you have lived here for years and would like to play in an 18-hole ladies golf league, contact Debbie O’Dell at 910-579-4429 or Phillip Bureau at the golf course for more details. We always welcome new members.
Carolina Shores Scramble Group – Elaine Southard
The Carolina Shores Sunday Scramble
group plays golf the second Sunday of each month. On April 14 we are playing
at Meadowlands and our host is Gloria Schroppe. The cost is $36 per person. The
tee times are 10:57, 11:05, 11:13, and 11:21 and show time is 10:25 a.m.
The signup sheet is in the POA clubhouse on the bulletin board, located behind the door to the library.
Tennis News – Bob Anthony
The "Yellow Plague" should be over and tennis and pickle ball have resumed in earnest. Open tennis still occurs every Monday, Wednesday & Friday at 9:00 a.m. at our tennis courts. All POA members in good standing and their guests are welcome to play. Just show up with your racquet and court shoes and you will get to play. All levels of skill are welcome. Hope to see you out there.
If you are new to the area and would like to play with a foursome, should it be ladies, men's or mixed, just give me a call and I will try to make it happen.
Low Impact Chair Aerobics – Mary Timothy
LOW IMPACT CHAIR AEROBICS is at 9:15 a.m. - 10:15 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Fridays. This exercise class is excellent for those that have difficulty with a regular aerobics class. This class will include weight lifting and core strengthening while sitting. Leg lifts will be done while holding on to a chair and then will be followed up with low impact movement without a chair. Weights will be needed. I suggest starting with one-pound weights. Without investing in weights, bottles of water, cans and such can be used if they fit comfortably in your hands. Ankle weights are optional. Come to get in shape and have fun. Contact Mary Timothy for more information at mtmothy@atmc.net.
Care Team – Beverly Rowse
The Care Team now has twenty-three (23)
people available to help neighbors in need when a request comes to me. If you
want to be a part of this team or if you no longer want to be on the list,
please let me know. When a call for help comes to me, I reach out to the
members on NextDoor. I don't get very many calls for help, but people are so
very grateful for the assistance they get! It really doesn't take much to
volunteer. An occasional ride, help with a small chore at home, a temporary
need for dog walking, etc. is usually what is needed.
So, neighbors, continue to let me know if you need help and I'll do my best to find someone. You don't have to be on NextDoor to request help. You can call me at 919-271-3005
