"This brings us to the next things garbage. Residents nay need to be readnded thi^^
it Bustn't be left out overnight unless it*s in an aniioal proof container, not only beca^P
of dogs that sees to run free* but because there are also hungry raccoons sloilking in
readiness for every opportunity •'*
**Incidentally, if it's at all possible, garbage cans ought not be visible fron the
street, and it seeas there are garbage container structures on the Town right of nay in
front of soae houses. This is possibly just a aisunderstanding hy people who are earnestly
trying to iaprove the appearance of their property, and, if the law is explained to thea,
they aay willingly move the structures,**
The Comittee suggests that the Town further consider how to enforce the law pro
hibiting vehicles on the beach in Pine Knoll Shores. They keep mysteriously appearing,**
**The two drainage pipes, approxisately 18 inches in diaaeter, which protrude through
the recently installed bulkheads into the canal along Arborvitae, create an unsightly
appearance. They could be cut off and finished like the one at the Minosa Bridge,*'
**Most condoniaiua groups have their own property owners' associations, and we suggest
that these associations should be in closer touch with each other so that, together, they
could cooperate in aaking property appearance decisions that are sinilar and would bring
all of them closer in spirit, and would help them to know what they expect from themselves
and from the rest of the groups,"
"Wouldn't it be an improvement if the Town could encourage the Public Utilities to
place the lines underground? Meanwhile, we caution cable companies in laying undergroud
lines to be careful of the trees and shrubs ,**
**Two signs bothered us as we drove through the Towns
**The first was the sign at Ocean Bay Villas, just inside the Town limits, near IndH^^
Beach, There are too many lighted arrows, etc. If one is coming into Pine Knoll Shores,
this sign is the first thing he sees as he enters the Town,
**The other sign seen on that end is the crudely lettered "Family Center" sign on the
Episcopal property. Surely, however, this will chan^ when their plans have been approved
and work begins on that project,,,,,,"

The PKS Planning Board has assigned to Gil Millington the task of planning community
actions for an orderly recovery from the effects of a potential disaster that could devas*

DISASTER PLAN focused on the possibility of hurricandamage, Gil has been working on
— the plan with the cooperation of Police Commissioner Jack Thompson and
BBmG DRAFTED Chief BcL Crawford | Building Inspector Bill Ballantinei and the present
and former directors of civil preparedness, Andy McN^ly, Alan Mit
chell, and Bob KcAnaw, Mayor Ken Haller provided policy guidance.
Shortly after the work started, federal and state funds were made available to coastal
counties and towns for development of coordinated disaster plans that cover a broader scope
than the original Post-disaster Recovery Plan, The contract for preparation of basic plans
for Carteret County and its participating coastal towns was awarded to George Eichler and
Associates of Atlanta, Ga, Craig Root, Mr, Eichler's partner, has been performing research
and preparing draft plans during the past ten months. The plw should be completed in June,
The disaster plan will update earlier plans for evacuation of hurricane and flood
prone areas and assignment of storm shelters. New portions of the plan include long rano^
actions to mitigate, or lessen the effect of a hurricane on homes, buildings, and other
structures by controlling fut\ire construction. However, Pine Knoll Shores is better
prepared than most coastad towns in this respect, due to the enforcement of its land Use
