change, according ^ Bill Ballentine, Building Inspector of the Town. To do so. how- removal of all internal dunes and existing vegetation, except vegetation which will be left natural, thereby more than satisfying the 3^ natural vegetation requirement of the zoning ordinance, recent rezoning does not violate the principles which have been incorpor- +h^ ® according to those who formulated tte plan. An accurate and readable history of this property as relates to the land use has been prepared by Art Browne, one of the formulators of the plan, and is must for th^e interested in some depth on the subject. As it is a little long to prtnt in the Shore Line, we suggest that residents read the copy available at the Town 5. The December 198^ rezoning of the rear 10 acres was first proposed by the Town, and approved by the Planning Board, about three years ago, before any shopping center developer was interested in the property. ^ not Kirkman, Town Attorney, that the recent rezoning does not comtitute Contract Zoning, and Kirkman believes the rezoning to be legal, valid and enforceable. * w. 4 7* -.T?? ^ ^ written, legal opinion from the North Carolina League of Municipalities stating unequivocally that land use decision may not be decided by public referendum, 8. the rear 10 acre tract been left zoned for condominiums, the Town, without p^hasi^ t^ property, could not have legally prevented development of condos on the tract. Accord^g te Roosevelt representatives, it is unlikely that the property would support expensive development, with the most likely use being apartments or relatively inexpensive condos. Ocean Front property for a park area could have been made avaU- able to these condos. m K* construction cost of the Center will be well in excess of 3 million dollars ^1 who have financial stakes in the project believe in ite economic viability. This includes M experienced developer, a construction lender, and major tenants, willine to execute 20 year leases. * w We love this town. We have always trusted the people we have chosen to govern it and we haw b^n ^o^ to live here these past twelve years, during which there has been no real discord, while all around us, in the other small communities, arms have been waving occasionally over one crisis or another. Now that residents have the truth before them, we hope this strange and quite de pressing controversy will be over, and that we can once more look to our competent leaders to m^e the right decisions. There is no place for suspicion in our midst, and ^ ^ small group of ill informed worriers got themselves so worked up as to ^te that anonym^ letter. We hope they, too, will come round and be a part of the whole again so that Pine Knoll Shores can go on from here in unity.
