Members also elected lour direc tors at their annual Labor Day week end meeting ;uul approved plans for a "Meet l"bo Candidates" Night to be held prior to the November inimki |kiI election. Discussion of the lighting ordi nance dominated the meeting, with members voting 38-30 in favor of a town board restudy of the rules that were approved in November 1089 and uxik effect a year later. Among oilier things, the contro versial ordinance prohibits yard lights that arc more than 10 feet off the ground. Proponents of the rule say it is necessary to keep yard and security lights from shining in neighbors* window's. Opponents say the rules prevent iheni from adequately light ing and protecting their property. Since the rule took effect last fall, the town has forced several home owners to lower lights affixed to utility polos. Holdcn Beach Hied a lawsuit in Jul> seeking a court order to have a security light on Brunsw ick Avenue lowered to 10 feet. Georgia Langley, who was serving as a town commissioner when the or dinance was passed, said Saturday that the people arc split on the out side lighung issue. "Half ci the islam! wants darkness, the other half doesn't," she said. Earl Willis, a Raleigh resident who owns a home on Sunshine Lane, made die motion calling for a rcstudy of the ordinance. He also wants HBFOA directors to notify members when the light ordinance is to be dis cussed at tow n n>cctings. Willis, who had an attempted break-in at his house recently, said most homeowners on the island aren't around to protect their proper ly. "Darkness breeds mischief and unlaw ful acts," he said. Greensboro Street resident Alice lew raised the issue of outside light ing at Saturday morning's meeting at town hall. Mrs. Tew said Mayor John Tandy had promised seven months ago thai the town would look into street lighting. "If he was saying that just to pacily us. ii hasn't." she said. wALL STAR ^ FLAGS 1-800-868-FLAG ?Flags 'Banners ?Flagpoles -Pennants A Variety Of Flags Desert Storm ?
