From the CAC...
With the arrival of the year 2002, (and the
concurrent arrival of seed catalogs) our
thoughts turn to the coming of spring. This
March, the CAC will offer its third collection of
free seedling trees. If arrival is as expected,
we plan to have the following available:
Redbuds
Laurel Oaks
Red Cedars
Crape Myrtles
2-year - Live Oaks
More complete information will follow in
upcoming Shorelines.
Bob Curry, Chair
Planning Board
The Planning Board approved site plans and storm water
management plans for Pine Knoll Shores condominiums
at the site between the Sheraton and the Windjammer
Inn. Plans formerly approved for a hotel on the site are
no longer being considered.
Notice
Addressing the Pine Knoll Shores
Tree Inventory Project
The Town of Pine Knoll Shores is going to
undertake an inventory of all trees located on
town property. This inventory will allow for more
comprehensive maintenance of our urban
landscape. We have contracted this work to
Holland Consulting Planners, Inc. (HCP), a
consulting firm based out of Wilmington,NC. The
HCP staff will be locating every tree located on
town property using a hand held Global
Positioning System (GPS) receiver. The location
of each tree will then be tied to information
detailing the specific type of tree and related
maintenance demands. Following completion of
this work the tree locations and attribute data
will be mapped and tied into the Town's
Geographic Information System, (GIS).
Throughout this project, January to June 2002,
the HCP staff will be in the field locating all trees
along street right of ways, and town owned open
space areas. If you have any questions or
concerns regarding the project please contact
Chris Jones, at 247-4353 ext. 18.
Home Safety Survey Program
Mr. & Mrs. Thompson never thought after 45 years
of marriage and 5 children that they would ever be
standing in their driveway watching the fire
department going in and out of their home. A
home they had dreamed of ever since before the
last child had left for college. A home filled with
years of memories and irreplaceable items, their
two Yorkie terriers sitting puzzled beside them, as
another puff of black smoke comes from the rear
of the home.
All of this may have been avoided, all the pain of
seeing your belongings damaged and most of all
the possibility of injury or worst death, all from a
fire. The Pine Knoll Shores Fire Department would
like to offer their expertise in helping prevent a
catastrophic occurrence such as a fire in your
home.
Fire personnel trained in fire inspection and
safety would like to conduct a fire safety
survey of your home. The purpose of thi^^
survey is to identify any potential fire hazarc^P
that could cause a problem. There is no fee
for this service and most inspections would
take less than 15 minutes, also the inspector
will have information that will help you
design your own fire safety plan for your
home.
Call: Pine Knoll Shores Emergency Services to
schedule your appointment; all appointments will
be conducted privately and at your convenience.
Contact Chief Donald Melby or Lieutenant Mike
Efferson at 247-4353 ext. 27 or ext. 26, to
schedule your home fire survey.
The Town of Pine Knoll Shores wants your holiday
seasons and New Year to be joyous and fire safe.
Sincerely,
Donald Melby
Emergency Services Director
