Public comment on two proposed zoning ordinance amendments will be heard at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 9. The changes deal with setback regulations for commercial and residential properties and the establishment of a time limit for action on proposed zoning ordinance amendments.

The commission postponed action on the matter at its July meeting to allow Planning and Zoning Board members an opportunity to offer further comment. Commissioners in July expressed concern as to whether applications for rezoning in Block 'A', in which the property is located, should be treated individually or the block treated as a whole. Bruns\ BY TERRY POPE For ten Brunswick County juveniles last year, help came in the form of a friend through the Brunswick Buddies One-On-One volunteer program.

They met in a former administration building conference room that now doubles as the county manager's office. Chairman Krankie Ration said the agency was "closer" than before to hiring a director. "We hope to have a director in three weeks or a month, but I really don't know." Cooler Temps Likely To Stay Temperatures are likely to remain u little below normal this week in Brunswick County, according to Shiillottc Point meteorologist Jackson Canady. Temperatures will range from 60 at night to near 80 in the daytime with about three quarters of an inch of rainfall expected.

"l>et's do it all or let's not do any of it," Commissioner Hal Stanley advocated in offering a second to Commissioner Graham King's motion to deny the rezoning request. King said that because 107 Ocean Boulevard, West lies in Block A, which he said is totally residential, he felt the request should be denied. There is no commercial property "adjoining, abutting, or contiguous" to the tract in question, he said. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Jim Griffin was absent from the meeting. isezoning races uojecuons Just prior to the opening of Monday night's meeting, commissioners conducted a public hearing on the rezoning of property at 110 Ocean Boulevard, East from R-l to C-l. Commissioners were told by town Administrator Bob Buck he had received some six letters in opposition to the rezoning and one letter in favor from the individual requesting the change. One of two letters presented to commissioners at the meeting came /vick Buddie that match volunteers to work with troubled youths recommended for counseling through the juvenile justice system. Bruaswick County's program Is actually able to accommodate 25 to 30 juveniles, which is the number Ms. Miller would like to see matched with adult volunteers. During the first three years of the program, the state has provided $922,386 in Social Services Block Grant funds for the 34 programs while local communities and governments have provided $369,057 to support the project. Still No W< Board members discussed the lirector's post and other personnel Items at length with Ted Bowen, Greenville region personnel officer with the N.C. Department of Human RnraurtM. "We discussed Mr. Orrock along with the other applicants today," Habon noted. The board also discussed, but took no action on the assignment of a proposed assistant finance officer. The position could be assigned initially to either the social services department?a preference expressed by that agency?or to the county finance office?a preference of the county commissioners and county administration, at least for the first year.

Rankin, who wrote he feels his property will be "adversely affected," said honoring the request would amount to spot zoning. "Spot zoning only opens the door to further abuse," Rankin wrote, "and that is exactly what I feel would take place if this change were to be approved. I did not take exception to the recent rezoning of the major commercial tract. "What bothers me is that after one zoning decision was made another rezoning request follows on its heels," he wrote. "Do not start making zoning exceptions here and there, for there is never an end before the real damage is done." I Another east-end property owner, I Nancy N. Wright of Raleigh, wrote, !

The project also raised $9,134 in donations in Brunswick County, a state report issued on June 30 stated. Volunteers for the program, three males and seven females that are now active, come from a variety of backgrounds, Ms. Miller said. They include a professional photographer, a driver's education instructor, retirees and school teachers. 3rd On Dire they are ready to hire a director, fill- I ing a vacancy tliat lias existed since ' the Nov. 30, 1983, tiring of Jamie Or- ! rock.

"It's consistent with the plan as being commercial," Buck tola him. The lot is located in Block A between Quinton and Rothchild streets. Council agreed to act on the request at its next meeting, as Commissioner Gloria Barrett requested time to read through all of the letters received. Hearing Set On Amendments At its July meeting, the commission requested that the Planning and Zoning Board consider two amendments to the zoning ordinance. One amendment deals with whether or not setback restrictions should be the same in commercial tones as in residential zones. The planning board has recommended that the setback restrictions be the same. Should the amendment be approved by council, commercial zones would carry the following setback I coil IVIIUIIO.

"We're pretty pleased with that lumber." Volunteers must complete a trading session and spend at least 16 lours a month with their matched gouth, "doing anything they'd like to io," she added.

For one member, Tuesday's marathon session was an introduction to the board. Malcolm Grissett was appointed last month by fellow board members; Tuesday's was his first meeting.

Also to be considered at the September 9 public hearing is the question of whether a time limit should be established for a decision to be made on any proposed amend mciii iu uic /.uuiug uiunuiuui: iutiuwing a public hearing held on the proposed change. The time limit question recently surfaced when commissioners approved a controversial rezoning matter some two years after a public hearing on the matter had been conducted. The town's Planning and Zoning Board has recommended that comeniles Wilmington will be held at the Brunswick County Courthouse for youths and volunteers, followed by a small awards ceremony for the previous six months of service. "So we do a lot of things tliat are group activities," Ms. Miller added. "Wp trv in t?pi t/wpthnr at laact ovnrv J ? O o ? -..-?...V.J other month." Ms. Miller said she expects the program to grow along with community support. With more exposure, residents will realize that the program is not "some fly by night deal," she said. "We're getting good community support for the small amount of time that we've been around," she said. Of the youths involved in the program, close to 90 percent are recommended through the juvenile justice system, courts or law enforcement agencies, Ms. Miller said. Another 10 percent come from school counselors, other organizations or parents that request help in dealing with a child. Ages range from 8 to 16, but usually it is "very rare for us to take a 16-year-old," she said. There is a 16-year-old youth in the program now that has been placed on probation by the courts. Since the governor's project was organized in 1982, across the state 704 children have benefited from one-ononc relationships, the state report shows.

In addition, Stanley saw his request approved to conduct a separate public hearing on each of the two items. I USED CAR ! CLOSEOUTll -? ?- sa w Must sell all these vehicles by Sept.
