The clerk has proposed appropriating $13,977 of the town's turnl balance to Utc coming year's budget. The board hasn't discussed whether to reinstate trash pickup fees previously charged to restaurantrs and residences, and that space remains blank in the budget. Told that llie building inspector earned only about $3,200 last year, based on receiving 80 percent of the town's flat $30 fee, the board decided to ask him if 80 percent of a $50 fee would be acceptable. The flat fee covers up to five or six inspections of each structure and the town does not pay a mileage fee.

It proposes to enirce its subdivision, sign and appearance ordinances, hile asking the county to continue the building code enircement it will begin in the area on July 1. On that same date, the town will begin enforcing all ilumes of the state building code within its limits. The proposed zone runs from the waterway out to and :ross N.C. 179, roughly extending along the road from ale Swamp (Blueberry Farm) Road to near N.C. 9<M id the west side of Tarheeland Acres. In regulating the area, she said the town would attempt > conform with existing deed restrictions and to allow roperty owners the. fullest options for use of their proerty, while assuring development "will be nice." For inLancc, she suggested zoning non-subdivided acreage as le equivalent of the in-town C-2. That would allow commercial or single-family developlent.

Under state and town law possessing or setting off reworks of any kind is against the law. So much so that ttorney Elva Jess said that if the town held its own reworks displays, it probably would violate its own orinance as it is now worded. Meantime, realty offices will be asked to remind guests ver the Fourth that fireworks are prohibited, ighlighting that town ordinance on a sheet of regulations outinely distributed to visitors and new residents, who tight otherwise be unaware of tlie laws.

Ocean Isle commissioners: Agreed to Gurganus' recommendation, adopting a resolution asking the N.C. Department of Transportation to consider turn lanes on N.C. 179 at the entrance to the beach. The lanes are not included in construction plans relating to the new bridge. "It looks to ine like they have nlentv of room to do it without bovine additional ripht-of way," said Gurganus. Heard from Building Inspector T.D. Koberson that 52 buildings are under construction in town. During May he issued 20 building permits and collected $14,425 in fees for construction valued at $829,500. "You can't look at any place in town where there isn't construction," he added Voted to donate $1,000 each to the Shallotte Volunteer Rescue Squad and to the South Brunswick Islands Chamber of Commerce from the 1984-85 contingent;, fund. Mayor Bullington acknowledged this will be the town's first donation to the chamber of commerce, which is involved primarily with promoting tourism and commerce in its five-community service area. Directed attorney Elva Jess to check on the legality of a cliain erected across the end of Driftwood Drive, blocking access to an area traditionally used for boat launching. Agreed to coordinate sidewalk construction with the work of sewer contractors next year. The town will incorporate sidewalk planning in the scope of a $10,000 land use planning grant, using technical assistance from Natural Resources and Community Development consultant Melba I-ane. -I 1 ?U~ , " * ... - -umiiicu null uic iuwii, a pan-ume customer, Had been on county water for two weeks until Monday, when water was cut off by the county.
