BUDGET HEARING Corinne Geer, budget officer, stated that the budget as presented has been altered by the increase of approximately $2000 in expenditures for professional services in the Non-departmental section making total expenditures total $614,709. The only question on the budget concerned the proposed expenditure for mosquito con trol . Some residents felt that not enough was being done and more money should be budgeted. Mayor Hanan responded that the problem was not funds but the lack of a certified applicator. We are not allowed to spray unless such a qualified person is in charge. In order to comply, he and Commissioner Shedd are taking the exam tomorrow. --------- oOo --------- COMMISSIONERS MEET Following the public hearings the commissioners held their regular meeting. At this meeting the budget was adopted. An amendment to the personnel ordinance allowing the commissioners to grant merit raises to those at the top of their grade and introducing the rank of corporal on the police force was passed. Proposed ordinances requiring permeable materials for driveways and parking lots was referred to the Town Attorney for drafting as was the proposed ordinance prohibiting over night parking. The commissioners agreed to omit the section concerning driveways of single family dwellings until the Planning Board has given the matter more study. Marl used by contractors during construction may render the driveway impermeable if packed down. Some sort of solution for this problem must be found. Concerning the prohibition of glass bottles or containers on the beach, the com missioners decided to try out an encouragement program. If this is effective an ordinance will not be needed. The Rescue Squad nominated John McCormick Chairman and Garrett Smith, Vice-Chairman for the coming year. The commissioners approved the nominations. The Police Department has acquired two new patrol cars, one white and one blue which are already petroling the town. The old ones will be sold as surplus property. The condominium development to be called Coral Ridge was presented for commissioners' approval. It had formerly been approved as Center Ridge. Changes in grading necessitated its re-submission although in an instance of this kind it is not necessary to refer it to Planning Board or Community Appearance. Approval was withheld by a vote of 3 to 2. Mayor Hanan announced that the Marine Resources Center is changing its name to North Carolina Aquarium. The Open House was to be held that evening. There are several new exhibits on display. Special note was made of the attractive plantings at Mimosa Boulevard and Oakleaf Drive which the Garden Club has created. Thanks from all of us goes out to them. --------- oOo --------- PINE KNOLL SHORES LAND USE PLAN—1986 UPDATE PUBLIC REVIEW SESSION - MAY 15. 1986 The most important part of any Land Use Plan prepared under the State's Coastal Area Management Act is the formulation of specific policies regarding growth, development and management objectives. The plan must strike a delicate balance between the desires and objectives of the citizens, the local government of Pine Knoll Shores, and the CAMA program overseen by the Coastal Resources Commission. Local, State and Federal regula tions and programs must be coordinated in a manner consistent with good management practices, preservation of the natural environment, and a high quality of life for resident^^ of Pine Knoll Shores. Our over-riding objective is to create and maintain a quiet resi- dential community in the natural setting of the existing maritime forest of the barrier island.
