The Homeowners Association of Portside Village and its members have been recently informed that an offer has been made on the property on the north side of Bertram Drive. As proposed, the property will be developed as a strip/office facility with a small storage facility in the back. One development option presented would have an entrance directly on Bertram Drive, our only entrance and exit from the neighborhood..
As homeowners and renters in this quiet, tucked-away community, we are extremely concerned that the proposed access from Bertram Drive will diminish the integrity of our neighborhood, expose it and it's streets to through traffic, and endanger homeowners as they walk and/or bike with their children and animals.
We urge the Town of Carolina Beach and its stewards to deny any such plans to provide a drive into the property just north of Betram Drive.
Signed,
Portside Village Homeowners and Residents

Access to a public facility via Bertram avenue is an accident waiting to happen. This is where kids walk to and wait for their school bus. This is the only access for homeowners to leave/enter the neighborhood with their kids/animals and often on bicycles. Please consider the safety of the neighborhood residents as top priority.
If a commercial property needs additional access, wouldn't it be a more logical plan to tap into an adjacent commercial property vs. residential. Adjoining commercial property with residential does not seem like a good plan at all. This is very concerning, and for the safety of the children and pedestrians within the neighborhood who walk too and from the bus stop, this is an extremely unwise/unsafe proposition.
not for it at all.
There are to many walkers, bike riders, children and pets that use Bertram Drive each and everyday as well as a school bus stop for many off our children. We all drive respectfully in our neighborhood so everyone can enjoy their homes. Please do not allow an entrance to the new development off Bertram Drive.
It would be too dangerous and there would be unnecessary traffic. It doesn't make any sense to pit the entrance there.
Any entrance to this property off Bertram would certainly be very detrimental to the safety to walkers and bikers of Portside Village as well as be a detriment to the property values and access to each respective property owners property.
Developer should bare the cost of a dedicated curb cut from state highway or negotiate entrance from parking lot directly North of his property.

I have lived on Jarrett Bay Dr. For over 13 years. The most important things in our community are our kids who play freely with the limited traffic pattern. My 13 yr old son is Autistic and we feel safe with our neighbors who understand and keep watch. There is plenty of access and traffic pattern that can be more utilize on lake park and existing parking lots that can be extended with a traffic light as central access. This would ultimately devalue our closed neighborhood and make it dangerous for our families.
