Comment received from that quarter, he continued, "doesn't address the Issues and facts of what we're trying to address here." The hearing was conducted under rules earlier established by the board, with each speaker allowed two to 2h minutes. Monday, at McCarthy's proposal, the board agreed It would also be proper to allow one speaker to cede his or her time to another. "So long us the issue at hand is being addressed and this meeting is not being used to grandstand on unrelated issues," qualified Gore.

The survey is being taken in conJunction with revision of the town's land use plan as required by the Coastal Area Management Act. Council members Kathy Hill and Mary Kathcrine Griffith and several members of the public questioned the small number of persons sampled, saying money used in preparing the ianii use pian in-licuse should be used to extend the survey. "If we're going to serve the public, we need to know what they want," said Ms. Griffith. While acknowledging it iniKht be discriminatory, Ms. Hilt suggested thase who live in the town year-round should havi' greater Input since "they deal with the problems day in and day out." Carolina Beach, noied Ms. tirinsui, mailed nine-page questionnaires io several thousand property owners. Martin noted that the 100 names were randomly generated from a list of town taxpayer's numbers, about 1,000. A 10 percent sample, he added, constitutes a statistically sound survey thai meets the approval of Haskell Khett, the N.C.
