Sea Trail community to get new entrance sign

SUNSET BEACH—The town planning board has approved a new entrance sign for the Eastwood Landing community at Sea Trail Plantation.

The proposal is for a free-standing 5-foot-tall by 10-foot-long sign valued at $6,000 in the mainland multi-family residential (MR-3) district at 11 Clubhouse Road.

Robert Duffy, representing the Eastwood Homeowners Association, said the sign would be surrounded by assorted landscaping, including viburnum, weeping yaupon holly, yeddo hawthorn and plum delight. Duffy said extra landscaping would be placed at the sign’s matching columns.

Duffy said construction of 19 homes was completed there two years. The original design was to have security gates and columns, but the HOA compromised with the sign, he said.

The sign, to be in front of the community near Sea Trail’s north gate, will be painted green and made with old brick.
