COMMISSIONERS MEETING: At their March 1 meeting in the Marine Resources
Center the Commissioners voted to request Carteret County to allow Pine
Knoll Shores to issue all landscape permits within its town limits rather
than have permits issued at the Beaufort Courthouse, The Commissioners
were interested in providing close supervision and communication at the
local level concerning grading and clearing of lots prior to any construction*
Interested citizens should report any violations of the building ordinances
immediately to the to^^m office in order to stop unnecessary clearing*
Mayor Haller commended the Police Department for the report given by Chief
Overman, including a letter from Cartoret Tech thanking the tov/n for police
training given by the department* The mayor again urged citizens to support
our police by agreeing to show up as witnesses or by sii/earing out a warrant.
Meeting of March l6 - Mail should continue to be addressed to Pine Knoll
Shores, Route 1, Morehead City, 28557* not to a post office address of Pine
Knoll Shores according to a letter received from the Post Office. There is
no feeling on the part of the Post Office Department that a separate post
office is needed here. After all, Atlantic Beach is very close when we need
to mail packages'*
Tax status: All taxes are in except 15 listings, representing 2*73% which
is V-.RY GOOD.
The Commissioners voted to sponsor residents taking the training course for
rescue and first aid work to be given at Carteret Tech beginning March 31*
The town will again take part in the employment lorogram for summer work for
beautifying and landscaping, along v/ith neighboring tovms on the island.
Pine ICnoll Shores will hire two persons as their share of the program which
is federally funded.
BIG NEVJS: The plans for the proposed building for PKS municipal area are on
display in the meeting room in our present Town Hall. The plans are very
exciting, contemporary style, with work areas of office wing, fire depart
ment area, and police department. Take a bit of time to go and study these
plans. You will like what you see. The layout is easily read and invites
