Costal Resources Com mission meeting in Manteo last week. The island’s location, and its access to transportation and deep water make it the best site in the extensively developed harbor area for new port facilities, ac cording to the Radio Island area development plan submitted to the com mission by a task force representing state and local government. “This plan thoroughly examines choices for the Morehead City harbor,” said Dr. J. Parker Chesson, Jr., chairman of the com- mission. “We will forward it to Carteret County officials for their use in selecting the best way to expand the port without harming fisheries and tourism. The Board of Commissioners is to be commended for using their land use planning process to guide the growth of the county,” he added. In other action, the CRC agreed to continue until its next meeting a public hearing on proposed post - disaster planning guidelines.

Kitty Hawk and Mayor Don Bryan of Nags Head reminded the commission of their experiences with the' total chaos which follows a coastal disaster and the need for advanced planning to reduce the inevitable confusion. Mayor Gene Floyd of Wrightsville Beach and Mayor Neir Farr of Carolina Beach expressed support for the planning concept and asked that local govern ments be given a major role. Chairman Chesson noted that, if the guidelines are Thursday, July 8, 1982 enacted, each local government would develop its own plans with general directives from the com mission. A commission task force examined ways to allow development which might normally be denied when the projects have overriding public benefits. Procedures to require applicants to improve, replace or restore natural resources in these cases are being studied for possible use in North Carolina. Continued On Pago 7-B
