The Right Wav on The Riaht-of-Wav
Pine Knoll Shores has an ordinance that forbids parking
on the right-of-way from midnight until 6:00 A.M. Many
do not understand precisely what this means. The right-
of-way defines the area between one property line and
the property line across the street, including the street.
Parking is prohibited therein during the stated 5 hours.
There are situations when this ordinance will cause
hardship and public safety is not compromised. One
situation can be cited when EMS vehicles are parked
while a patient is transported to the hospital. There may
also be a need for a resident to house more vehicles
overnight than can be parked within the confines of his
property. In this case the owner parks safely off the
pavement, phones the town police, describes the
problem, states where the vehicle is parked and when
it is to be removed. Your town is concerned about your
safety and the safety of others. Please help us to help
you by following this procedure. I would rather not
spend your tax dollars on "NO PARKING" signs. They are
expensive to purchase and install as well as being
unsightly.
Carl Heffelfinger, Commissioner
Streets & Public Property
Planning Board
Topics of discussion included:
1. A motion passed to recommend, to the Board of
Commissioners, that bulkheading of all canal
front lots be required. The Planning Board
requested that advice from the town attorney
be sought as to the best way to approach this
requirement.
2. A motion passed that no action be taken by the
Town regarding bulkheading of sound front lots
due to the advice from the town attorney.
3. The condo-tel issue has been dropped; no
action will be taken on this matter at this time.
4. A proposed Public Tree Ordinance will be
forwarded to the town attorney for review. The
ordinance is another step in the direction of the
Community Appearance Commission's attempt
to have the Town of Pine Knoll Shores
recognized as a Tree City USA.
Notice:
There is a vacant position for an alternate member
on the Planning Board. Applications can be

Planning Board meets at 3:00 p.m. the 4“^ Tuesday
of each month in the Town Hall meeting room.
PKS Community Appearance Commission
Sincere thanks from the Community Appearance Commission
for the tremendous interest and participation in our recent
seedling tree giveaway. (One of our northern transplants
was heard to say that the crowd reminded her of a sale at
Filene's Basement in Boston.)
