• SHORE LINE Published by The Town of Pine Knoll Shores In The Interests Of Its Citizens Office Box 757, Atlantic Beach, N. C. 28512 VoluM V - Humber k April, 198^^ Koel Yancey - Bdlitor A foxaer town coudssloner protested at a public hearing the evening of April 11 a proposal to lighten a restriction he said the town adopted 11 years ago in the hope it would prevent construction of any additional motels in Fine Knoll Shores, JBROMl PROTESTS **It seens to ae that to change the rules at this late date would be a ZOKHiG CHAliGB little unfair,* said larty Jeroae who served six years on the PKS ■ Planning Board and later three years on the Board of Coudssioners fro« which he stepped down last Deceaber. He said the soning provision that limited hotels and motels to 10 bedrooms per acre - later lowered to 8 - was adopted in 1973 “after careful consideration** with the full realisation it would not be economically feauBible under it to build new hotels or motels in the town. Jerome was the only person at a hearing before the Board of Commissioners, to voice it opposition to the recommendations hy the PKS Planning Board that would retain an ^unit-per«acre restriction on condominiums but raise the restriction on hotels and motels from 8 to 20 bedrooms per acre. The changes, which grew out of a study by Art Browne and Bob Armstrong, also would confine new hotels and motels to the area between the Coral Bay Mest condominiums and the town's eastsm boundary, and would prevent the Ramada Inn or the Iron Steamer Inn from being rebuilt if they are ever more than half destroyed* Spoicesmen for the John Yancey Motor Hotel iriiich is pressing a lawsuit against the town in an effort to get the courts to set aiside the reduction in permitted density from 10 to 8 bedrooms per acre, indicated they considered the change from 8 to 20 units a big step in the right direction. However, they carefully refrained from saying whether it would be enouj^ to satisfy them. Warren Davis, attorney for John Yancey, said he thought a *more realistic density** would be 40 to 45 units per acre. However, Andy Heatwole, a John Yancey vice president for real estate, said that 20 or 25 units **is certainly a heck of a lot better than eight.** Earlier Davis had said the John Yancey is prepared **to totally renovate** the motel which was built 18 years ago and would hope to operate it under a Quality Inn franchise.
