Helicopter operations in Pine Knoll Shores. Many of you are aware of the current
issue regarding helicopters operating in residential areas of town. I have received many
questions asking why we would allow it. As of August 10, the Pine Knoll Shores Board
of Commissioners has adopted a moratorium prohibiting such activity. Prior to the
August board meeting this was not the case. Our Zoning Chapters chart of permitted
uses does not specifically allow for aircraft landing areas in a residential area. On the
other hand, nowhere in our Code of Ordinances does it specifically say that one cannot
land a helicopter in a residential area. So we went to the North Carolina School of
Government at UNC—Chapel Hill and asked if it is forbidden to land an aircraft in
a residential zone because this is not a permitted use as listed in.our Code or is this
permitted because it is not explicitly forbidden in our Code? The answer, surprisingly, is
the latter, as determined by the courts. As of this writing the August 10 moratorium is
in effect, and will be for two months. You can expect board discussion on this topic at
the September 14 and October 12 board meetings.
New flood maps released. The preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM)
are now available for review at fris.nc.gov/fris. An instructional video is available on
YouTube.com (search for “NC Flood Insurance Rate Maps 2016”). The tutorial features
Dare County, but the basic concepts are based generally on the FRIS website. We are
also trying to schedule a couple of sessions to do a tutorial on using the system at
town hall in a few weeks, and we will keep you informed as to when those sessions will
occur. An informative article ran in the July issue of The Shoreline, which is available at
townofpks.com (click on The Shoreline/Past Issues). If you have questions on use of the
tvebsite, please call Town Planner Scott Sherrill at 427-4353, ext. 11.

be able to fish from their boat, kayak, from the surf or a pier. The weigh-in and all the
hoopla will be at the McNeill Inlet Park beginning at 4 p.m., where everyone is invited
to enjoy refreshments and watch the big fish from Pine Knoll Shores being weighed—
and hear about the one that got away. We want everybody in town who fishes or wants
to fish, and that includes all ages, to sign up, join the fun and fish on October 15. Entry
fee will be just $10 and will benefit the Crystal Coast Hospice House. Instructions
