adequate drainage syste*s, require that in future road construction or naintenance shallow ditches or swales be dug adjacent to road shoulders to carry runoff water to drainage channels, require the filling of low-lying lots to insirre that ground floor elevations of building are high enough to avoid temporary flooding after heavy rains, and that roadside drainage ditches be installed northward on Oakleaf Drive from Salter Path Road to the low point on the road between Holes 15 and l6 of the golf course so that runoff could be routed to golf course ponds on either side of the road, "This action should specifically relieve at least part of the drainage problem associated with the fairway flooding on Hole 15t** the report said. Meeting on August 22nd, the Planning Board spent considerable time considering a "sketch plan" of a proposed Episcopal Camp & Conference Center to be located on the Church property (some 52 acres in all) in the newly annexed western end of PKS. The Church property extends for about I5OO feet along Salter Path Road on both the North and South sides. However, the sketch plan contemplates building only on the North, or Sound side of the Road. Should the sketch plan become a reality, the Church EPISCOPAL CAlg would build a large number of buildings on the property including an and administrative area, dormitories, recreation rooms, a chapel, a dining hall Capable of seating 200 persons, an infirmary, a caretaker's resi- CONFEREWCE CE^gR dence - these and more are possibilities. All structures would be one story in height, screened from the road by vegetation, with private roads providing access to them. The Center would have only two entrances from the public thoroughfare. A tunnel under Salter Path Road woiad permit pedestrians to cross safelj^^ the South side of the Church's property and thus reach the ocean beach. The Planning Board felt that as yet it could not express an opinion as to the acceptability of the sketch plan, there being many factual points remaining unanswered. However, the Board decided to meet with a representative of the Church presumably the architect, at a special meeting called for 9 a.m. at the Town Hall on Tuesday, August 30. The Board also considered a proposed zoning ordinance for the same area but took no final action. In the absence of Chairman Luke Hargroves, George Falkenberg presided at the meeting. The meeting with the architect took place as scheduled. He responded to many ques tions about the project which will certainly be a major one. However, since all plans are still in the formative stage, there could be no specificity and, consequently, no possible approval as yet by the Planning Board. The Chairman, Luke Hargroves, did,however, express the Board's acceptance in general of the kind of development proposed. The Board also decided to consider at its September meeting zoning requirements for the newly annexed area and to endeavor to submit to the Commissioners promptly thereafter proposals for a Boning ordinance. Such zoning regulations are, of course, a prerequisite to any approval of a development plan. A scale model of the proposals for the Church property is on display at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Morehead City, The PKS Food Co-op will hold its next order meeting at 2 p,m, October 5 in the Twrn Hall. Food will be available for pickup Friday evening October 21 or early Saturday noon, October 22. Since the subsequent meeting will be November 30 with a pickup date or December I6 or 1?, those who bake Christmas goodies early may prefer to order those supplies at the October 5 meeting, oOo ------
