Split-zoning discovery prompts request for old Wilmington property

Owners of a two-story building at 2705 Market St. are seeking to rezone the property to accommodate a new tenant after discovering the structure straddles two zoning districts. The proposal is under review by the city and pending before the Wilmington Planning Commission. The building was constructed in 1922 and was occupied by Office Furniture Salvage for more than 50 years. According to a project narrative, the property has been split-zoned for “a very long time.” In a letter to nearby property owners, the owners of 2705 Market St., Carlton Fisher and Steve Wallace of Wallace Bros. II, LLC, stated a new tenant planning to establish retail and office uses discovered the office and institutional zoning district extends through the first 25 feet of the building while the remainder is zoned R-10 residential. The application, submitted Oct. 6, seeks to rezone the entire parcel to a community business conditional district with limited uses. According to the project narrative, the building will not be enlarged. Rear vehicular access to Lyndon Avenue would be gated to restrict access to emergency vehicles only. Landscaping and a fence would be installed along the rear property line. Pervious parking would be installed to limit additional

Stein awards Order of the Long Leaf Pine to boat builder

Gov. Josh Stein visited the area on Tuesday to honor a local entrepreneur who has been recognized for both his business acumen and his philanthropy. Eddie Smith, the owner of Grady-White Boats, was recognized during a ceremony at the company’s Greenville plant, where he received the Order of the Long Leaf Pine. “One of the benefits of being governor is that I get to recognize some of the very best people in North Carolina,” Stein said before a crowd of about 125 employees and guests. “Eddie Smith was responsible for taking a struggling business and turning it into what we see here today. Grady-White is part of what has made North Carolina the best state in the Southeast for manufacturing.” But Stein added that it isn’t just Smith’s commercial savvy that earned him the award. “What’s remarkable about Eddie is not just how he built this company, but how he decided to leave it,” Stein said. In July, Smith announced plans to place the company into a perpetual purpose trust, which protects it from takeover by outside buyers and supports the interests of the company’s 336 employees. Smith was understated in his remarks. He credited employees with doing the hard
