Page -3- PLANNING BOARD At the April 24th meeting, the Planning Board heard a plan proposed by Ed Olson and presented by Cliff Mitchell for honoring deceased town citizens by planting a tree on Pine Knoll Blvd. This would not only be a memorial but would also be a means of beautifying the town. Ed Olson presented this to the commissioners at their May meeting. It was decided that he would get together with Lee Blanchard and work up a proposal for such a program. COMMUNITY APPEARANCE COMMISSION The Commission wishes to remind all homeowners that it is spring clean-up time. Do not forget lawns, backyards, and the ever problematic mail boxes. With regard to mail boxes, painting and alignment would certainly improve the esthetic appearance of the community. Relative to esthetic appearance, the Commission extends its compliments to the homeowners on Arborvitae Drive who have done so much to enhance the beautification of their entrance and roadside areas with new grass, bushes, and decorative fencing - excellent job - thank you all. Dick Ehrhardt ZIP CHANGE REMINDER Postmaster Barbara Yeomans would like to remind Pine Knoll Shores residents to be sure and make their zip code changes to Pine Knoll Shores, 28512 before October 20. At that time, the post office will no longer be able to forward mail that has 28557 zip code. PLASTIC RECYCLING On the first Saturday of each month, you can take your crushed soft drink bottles and other plastic containers, coded 1 & 2 on the bottom, to the National Guard Armory in Morehead City. Plastic bottles that have contained clorox or other cleaning products are not acceptable. OUR NEW NEIGHBORS If you thought building your retirement home had problems, you don't know what trouble really is! It took Horace(Pat) and Evie Adams almost two years to move into their most interesting home at 170 Arborvitae Drive. A daughter, who is a licensed architect, drew up the plans and a building contractor was hired; he proceeded to go bankrupt and left town. After many other setbacks, another builder was able to finish the job, and the Adams finally moved in last December 21. In the meantime, they had lived in five different rental places, after leaving their home in Springfield, Virginia. When Pat had received his PhD in Chemistry at the University of North Carolina, he moved his young family to Asheville, North Carolina, where thay lived for the next 26 years, while he was in the research department
