A year after adopting a town noise and nuisance ordinance, she said she sees a need to insert a paragraph that would limit outdoor construction activity to Mondays through Saturdays?a paragraph board members didn't at first think the town would need.

Asked about enforcement. Mayor Stevens said, "We hope to someday have a police department." In the interim, she added, the town would have to take out a complaint against any violator. They will review a draft of the proposed addition at their next meeting, along with a proposed revision in the sanitation ordinance. Presently the sanitation ordinance specifies what can and cannot be left in a trash can; board members want ed nent answer questions about the proposals, thus creating a "subliminal policy," said Planning Director John Harvey. Under the new policy, applicants, or their designated representative, will not be required to appear before the board if questions about their plats are answered before the meetings. Harvey and the planning department staff will meet with applicants five days prior to the board meetings to determine if plats meet the provisions of the county subdivision ordinance. The planning director will then rule if "conformity problems" exist with a proposal and whether or not to require an applicant to appear before the board. Applicants who must attend the board meetings to explain their proposals will be notified by first class mail at least four days prior to the meeting, the policy states. If a representative of the applicant is sent to the meeting instead, they must "have the authority to make binding statements and decisions relating to all matters of subdivision amendment and definition," it reads. If the agent fall? I" nttend the meetings, the application will be automatically deferred until the applicant Ls present. "No further notification by the planning director shall be necessary and it shall be the sole responsibility of the applicant to request consideration before the Brunswick County Planning Board." it states. The new policy took effect when signed by planning board Chairman Ed Gore last week. 1 rice!

When sanitation worker Leroy Hill began dumping the material the limbs caused a bade up in which, said Mayor Stevens, Hill could have been injured. Council members also met briefly quest by Hill to go to a weekly salary rather than hourly- wages. Clerk Janet Thomas said the board took no action, wanting to make clear to Hill first that if he works on salary, substitute pay if he takes a day off would come from that salary. The sanitation job doesn't require a full 4i>-hour week during the winter, but requires more than 40 per week in summer. Following a public hearing at which no one spoke, the council voted to annex the Ragpatch Row area at their April 22 meeting, allowing time for preparation of maps to be filed with the Register of Deeds office. Tom Jones had petitioned the town requesting the noncontiguous annexation. He also stopped by Monday's meeting to ask about the possibility of the town providing police protection. Council members decided to check on whether private security guards could be used until it made other arrangements.

Ms. Thomas got the hoard's approval to order some books on zoning and planning, including information on how to deal with nonconforming property. While the zoning ordinance calls for a minimum lot size of 15,000 feet, many existing lots in town, such as those In River View Acres, are smaller.
