3.A.a
I. NARRATIVE OF REQUEST:
1. The applicant is requesting a use permit for an outdoor shooting range. The applicant is
currently operating an outdoor shooting range and needs the use permit to bring the site
into compliance with the UDO.
2. The applicant states that this will be a private shooting range open to club members only.
3. According to the applicant, the range is located in the bottom of an inactive sand pit
(Spruill Mine), bordered on all sides with a back stop berm of a minimum height of 25’.
4. According to the applicant, the Currituck Shooting Club has adopted an EPA plan to
assure an environmentally safe facility. They will reclaim lead shot and projectiles every
six months.
II. USE PERMIT REVIEW STANDARDS:
Use Permit Criteria and Staff Findings:
Use permits (UP) are intended to allow the Board of Commissioners flexibility in the
administration of the UDO. Through the UP procedure, property uses which would otherwise
be considered undesirable in certain districts can be developed subject to conditions of
approval to minimize any negative effects they might have on surrounding properties.
In order to approve a UP, certain criteria must be satisfied. The criteria and staff findings are
outlined as follows:
1. The use will not endanger the public health or safety.
Based on the suggested findings provided by the applicant, staff has determined it is
probably false that the use will not endanger the public health or safety.
Staff Findings:
a. The UDO requires that a registered engineer must certify that the design,
specifications, and plans for range construction are in compliance with the UDO. Part
of what the engineer is certifying is that the range facilities are designed as specified
by the most current edition of the National Rifle Association of America (NRA) Range
Source Book and the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) most current edition of
Best Management Practices for Lead at Outdoor Shooting Ranges. The applicant has
not provided the registered engineer’s certification.
b. The UDO requires that the parking area be of a hard surfaced material (gravel,
concrete, asphalt) that is safe for customer use. The applicant states that he plans to
make no improvements to the parking area. The UDO allows the county engineer
flexibility to approve alternate surface material; however, the engineer must inspect
the site and consider the proposed use.
2. The use will not injure the value of adjoining or abutting lands and will be in harmony with
the area in which it is located.
Based on the suggested findings provided by the applicant, staff has determined it is
probably true that the use will not injure the value of adjoining or abutting lands and will
be in harmony with the area in which it is located.

Attachment: Currituck Shooting Club UP Case Analysis (BOC 2.2.15) (1029 : PB 14-24 the Currituck Shooting Club)
3.A.a
Staff Findings:
a. With Mr. Moser’s assistance, the UDO was recently amended to allow outdoor
shooting ranges if specific requirements were met.
b. That text amendment included language that ‘no part of a shooting range shall be
located within 200’ of any property line and less than one-half mile from an existing
residential dwelling, school, waterfowl impoundment (flooded area), or Currituck
Game Commission sanctioned waterfowl rest area.’ This location meets those
requirements.
c. It is a subsurface shooting range.
3. The use will be in conformity with the Land Use Plan or other officially adopted plan.
Based on the suggested findings, staff has determined it is true that the use will be in
conformity with the Land Use Plan or other officially adopted plans.
Staff Findings:
The 2006 Land Use Plan classifies this site as Full Service within the Moyock subarea.
With respects to nonresidential uses, it is essential that the existing community character be
preserved in the Full Services area. The proposed use is in keeping with the policies of the
plan, which include:
POLICY ED1: NEW AND EXPLANDING INDUSTRIES AND BUSINESSES should be
encouraged that: 1) diversify the local economy, 2) train and utilize a more highly
skilled labor force, and 3) are compatible with the environmental quality and natural
amenity-based economy of Currituck County.
POLICY ED4: In addition to the recruitment and expansion of major new industries, the
considerable value of SMALL BUSINESS START-UPS, EXPANSIONS AND SPIN-OFFS
shall also be recognized.
Staff Findings:
The 2014 Moyock Small Area Plan classifies this site as Limited Service within the Moyock
subarea. The proposed use is in keeping with the policies of the plan, which include:
POLICY TO1: Encourage the continued development of Moyock as a destination to
Hampton Roads and the Albemarle Region by developing additional recreational
opportunities and promoting historic and cultural sites.
POLICY R 1: Expand and develop recreational opportunities for all ages and users
including access to the water and natural environment, walking trails, multi-purpose
fields, multi-purpose community building, and other non-traditional types of
recreational opportunities that are consistent with the Currituck County Parks and
Recreation Master Plan.
4. The use will not exceed the county's ability to provide adequate public facilities, including,
but not limited to, schools, fire and rescue, law enforcement, and other county facilities.
Applicable state standards and guidelines shall be followed for determining when public
facilities are adequate. Such facilities must be in place or programmed to be in place
within two years after the initial approval of the plan (sketch plan in the case of major
subdivisions).

Staff Findings:
a. The proposed use will not produce additional burdens on schools, fire and rescue, or
other public facilities.
III. TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Pursuant to the Unified Development Ordinance, the Technical Review Committee recommends
denial subject to the following:
1. Based on the suggested findings provided by the applicant, staff has determined it is
probably false that the use will not endanger the public health or safety.
2. Outstanding TRC comments were not addressed including:
a. A registered engineer must certify that the design, specifications, and plans for range
construction are in compliance with the UDO. (UDO Section 4.2.4.F.5)
b. The parking lot must be surfaced with gravel, concrete, or asphalt and must contain
wheel stops for each space. The site plan does not indicate surface material. Also,
the entrance road must be graveled (UDO Section 5.1.4.A.5); The county engineer
may inspect and approve existing parking area and entrance road to determine if
existing/alternative materials are acceptable. (UDO Section 5.1.6.F)
Items Addressed After Planning Board Meeting, Updated 1/22/15
c. Shading is required for the parking area that is compliant with the Unified
Development Ordinance (UDO). (UDO Section 5.2.5.D) A landscaping plan has not
been provided.
d. Handicap accessibility required from parking lot to shooting station. At least one
shooting station must be accessible. If it is technically infeasible to make shooting
range accessible, an engineer must verify infeasibility. If technically infeasible, an
accessible path must be installed to reach a viewing area. Written
exceptions/alternative arrangements as approved by the Department of Insurance
are required. A revised site plan is necessary demonstrating compliance with the
State Building Code.
e. NCDENR staff advises that the applicant cannot have an active shooting range within
the permitted boundaries of the mine. If a shooting range is something that is still
being considered, then that area of the active mine must be released from the
requirements of the Mining Act.
f. Once the mine reclamation has been accepted as being in compliance with the
requirements of the mining permit and the site released from the mine permit
requirements, any further dewatering would have to comply with whatever rules may
apply to the pumping activity, possibly through the Div. of Water Resources.

3.A.a
Ms. Newbern moved to deny PB 14-24 due to applicant not having all the necessary
recommendations completed that were recommended by the Technical Review Committee.
Mr. Clark amended the motion by adding based on the suggested findings provided by the
applicant, staff has determined it is probably false that the use will not endanger the public
health or safety. Ms. Newbern accepted the amendment to her motion.
Mr. Bell seconded the motion. Ayes: Mr. Clark, Ms. Bell, Ms. Newbern and Mr. Bell. Nays:
Mr. Cooper and Mr. Craddock.

IV: PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
3.A.a
Ms. Glave said once the mine reclamation has been accepted as being in compliance with the
requirements of the mining permit and the site released from the mine permit requirements, any
further dewatering would have to comply with whatever rules may apply to the pumping activity,
possibly through the Division of Water Resources.
Ms. Bell said at the last Planning Board meeting the board talked about Mr. Spruill’s use permit,
and it was stated that until Mr. Spruill could get his use permit that shooting at the range was to
cease. Could staff provide an update?
Ms. Glave stated she was aware of one subsequent violation from the Code Enforcement Officer.
Ms. Bell said the shooting has continued even though it was supposed to cease.
Ms. Glave said yes according to the Code Enforcement Officer.
Mr. Cooper asked the status of the engineer certification.
Ms. Glave said Mr. Moser said he has hired Hyman & Robey to do the report, but staff has not
received it.
Mr. Moser said he would like to table this request until the next Planning Board meeting. He is
working with Hyman & Robey and Mr. Spruill is waiting for final approval from the state. Mr.
Moser said the Currituck Shooting Club has been in operation for over two years and the first
year without any complaints. Mr. Moser said they are aware of staff recommendations and have
been working diligently to complete them and have been giving planning staff updates.
Mr. Woody said under the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) the applicant can ask for one
deferral and the request for a second deferral will result in the withdrawal of the application.
Ms. Bell said citizens were here last month to hear the case and Mr. Moser asked for it to be
tabled to the next meeting, and now they are here again and Mr. Moser is asking for it to be
tabled again. Ms. Bell said this is not fair to the public.
Mr. Moser said he is representing 200 current active members of the shooting club. Mr. Moser
said he is not aware of any violations done by any of his members on this property. Mr. Moser
said the violations that have been submitted are allegations, which they are appealing. Mr. Moser
said they are doing what the county commissioners have told them to do, which is to keep on
operating.
Ms. Bell asked Mr. Moser if there has been shooting on the range since November 4th.
Mr. Moser said no and he has the NRA records which he has to have for insurance purposes.
The board discussed since the registered engineer report had not been submitted to county staff,
Mr. Moser should have asked for this request to be tabled before the meeting instead of waiting
at the meeting, since citizens came to the meeting.

PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSION (12/9/14)
Mr. Craddock asked how the existing mine’s reclamation affects the area adjacent to it.
3.A.a
Mr. Woody said the planning board could not grant another continuance; because of the county’s
ordinance. If the applicant requests a second deferral, it will result in the withdrawal of the
application.
Mr. Moser said he will go ahead and present his case. Mr. Moser said he is the president of The
Currituck Shooting Club which has been operating over two years. The club is incorporated and
recognized under the state corporation as a member only club. The club operates on private
property and has not had a violation during the first year. Mr. Moser said this is a business and it
serves a very important public service here. The club is not a money maker it is more a public
service. Members pay to be part of the club, but they do not have to pay to use the shooting
range. Mr. Moser said the club is not here to cause any animosity or not here to hurt property
values. Mr. Moser said the club wants to work with the county, be good stewards, safer, quieter,
and grow. The opposition the club has seen has not been detrimental; it has actually brought
further awareness to what needs to be done to be good neighbors.
Mr. Frank Flora said he opposes the shooting range as it will devalue his property because he has
property close to the range.
Ms. Flora said she was a member of the Moyock Small Area Plan and this request is not
compatible with the surrounding area. She is concerned that there is a school nearby and the
noise from the range.
Mr. Elliott said he was here tonight on behalf of Haywood Ward who owns property in the
Currituck Reserve subdivision. Mr. Elliott said 88 acres are within ½ mile radius of the shooting
range and this property will be developed in the future. The property is zoned single family
residential. Mr. Elliott said Mr. Haywood is concerned with the danger of the shooting range.
Mr. Cooper asked staff with the ½ mile separation requirement to an existing structure, how does
this apply to homes that may be built later.
Ms. Glave said the separation is for existing homes not for homes that may be built in the future.
Ms. Brumsey said she has a farm next to John Flora and asked everyone who doesn’t want the
shooting range to please stand up. Approximately eighteen people stood.
Mr. Harcum said he owns property north of the sand mine. Mr. Harcum said he and his sons plan
on building a house on the property in the future and he is concerned with safety and land rights.
Mr. Mullen, attorney representing Mr. Flora, asked Mr. Tate to give his credentials. Mr. Tate is a
certified real estate appraisal in the State of North Carolina. Mr. Tate said any factor which
would strongly affects property values would have to be considered in the appraisal and a
shooting range would fall into the category of not another home. A landfill is another example
that would have to be considered because it is not the same conforming use.

Mr. Moser said he was not aware there was an ordinance in place as Mr. Woody had stated. It
was not intended of wasting anyone’s time since they are actively moving forward to meet all the
obligations that the county has requested. Mr. Moser asked for a continuance of the case so he
will be able to meet his obligations for the request.
Mr. Mullen asked Mr. Howard to come before the board. Mr. Howard said he has been a real
estate broker in Currituck County for 38 years, has a background in real estate development,
real estate appraiser, and general contractor. Mr. Mullen asked Mr. Howard how the shooting
range would affect surrounding property values. Mr. Howard said property values are
determined by several different factors: location, availability and desirability. Mr. Howard said it
is his professional opinion that the shooting range would make adjacent properties less desirable.
Mr. Mullen said a shooting range would reduce the value of adjoining property and he is
concerned with the noise from gunfire.
Mr. Gaither said he is concerned that the shooting range would negatively impact property
values and the noise from gunfire.
Ms. Clements said she is concerned that the shooting range will decreased property values. She is
concerned why this use would be approved right in the middle of Moyock.
Mr. John Flora said he is building a house on the same road as Moyock Middle School. Mr. Flora
said he began hearing the noise of gunfire in early spring or summer coming from the direction of
the sandpit. Mr. Flora said he talked with county staff and Mr. Moser did not apply for a use
permit until August 28, 2014. Two weeks earlier, August 13th, county staff sighted Mr. Spruill, The
Shooting Club, and Mr. Moser for a violation. No findings were found at this time. Mr. Flora has
continued to complain to the county staff and the sheriff’s department. Mr. Moser was sighted
again on September 13th and October 30th by county staff. Mr. Flora said either on November
29th or 30th he could hear shooting again. He called the sheriff’s department to have them come
out, but the sheriff’s department couldn’t get in because the gates were locked. In the report it
states the deputy could hear the shooting, but couldn’t see exactly where it was coming from
because the gates were locked. Mr. Flora is asking that this request be denied.
Mr. Moser said The Currituck Shooting Club is not Blackwater because the volume cannot be
compared to Blackwater. The safety requirements for an outdoor shooting in the county’s UDO
have many requirements which will be met. Mr. Moser said Blackwater has not stopped residential
growth or lowered property values. Mr. Moser is respectively asking the board to table this
request so they can meet the requirements of the Planning Board.
Mr. Clark said one of the use permit criteria is that the use will not endanger the public health or
safety.
Mr. Craddock as Mr. Mullen if he hired Mr. Tate to perform an analysis about external
obsolescence that may occur with the shooting range?
Mr. Mullen said he did not employ him.
Mr. Cooper said the current standards which were reviewed and passed concerns him with what
he is hearing tonight. The county has a text amendment which states no part of a shooting range
shall be within 200 feet of a property line and not less than ½ mile from an existing residential
dwelling. The board is also hearing professional testimony, that even meeting these standards, it
could injure the value of adjoining properties. Mr. Cooper said the board does not have the
registered engineer certification to determine if the use will endanger the public health or safety.

Mr. Woody said the sheriff’s department doesn’t measure just one sound. The machine is run for a
specified time frame and it will give you an adjusted decimal level.
Ms. Bell said she is concerned that surrounding properties have been approved to be developed
without knowledge that a shooting range may come.
Ms. Newbern asked if the Planning Board denies this request would it go to the Board of
Commissioners; and if it is tabled would it come back to the Planning Board.
Mr. Woody said that is correct.
Mr. Mullen said if the Planning Board were to table this request, when it comes back, it will have
two new board members who will not be familiar with what has taken place tonight.
Mr. Cooper asked staff where the rules are not being met. Is it the registered engineer
certificate, handicap accessibility, and other parking requirements as far as the UDO is written?
Ms. Glave stated yes.
Ms. Bell is concerned that Mr. Moser has been operating even though he is in violation.
Mr. Craddock asked Mr. Spruill who is in charge of locking the three gates.
Mr. Spruill said he is and Mr. Moser.
Mr. John Flora said there is a case which is pending in Harnett County regarding a similar
situation and tax value decreasing. A letter was sent to Mr. Paul O’Neal from Joe Miriello
regarding the case.
Mr. Craddock said the Planning Board did receive a copy of the letter. The person who wrote
the letter is not a certified real estate appraiser in the State in North Carolina. He is a tax
appraiser, and these are two entities that are governed by two different bodies. The real estate
appraisers are governed by the NC Appraiser Board and tax appraisers are governed by the
Department of Revenue.
Mr. Clark closed the public hearing.
ACTION
Ms. Newbern moved to deny PB 14-24 due to applicant not having all the necessary
recommendations completed that were recommended by the Technical Review Committee.
Mr. Clark amended the motion by adding based on the suggested findings provided by the
applicant, staff has determined it is probably false that the use will not endanger the public
health or safety. Ms. Newbern accepted the amendment to her motion.

Re:
Use Permit – Outdoor Shooting Range - TRC Comments
The following comments have been received for the September 17, 2014 Technical Review
Committee meeting. This case was tentatively scheduled for the October 13, 2014 Planning
Board meeting; however, staff has been directed to hold this application to allow it to run
concurrently with the use permit application for the mining operation on the same property. The
mine use permit is scheduled to be heard by the Planning Board on November 4, 2014. All
outstanding items and plan corrections must be received by October 20, 2014 to be placed on
the November 4th Planning Board agenda. TRC comments are valid for six months from the date
of the TRC meeting.

I. NARRATIVE OF REQUEST:
1. The applicant is requesting preliminary plat/use permit approval of 36 residential lots
within Corolla Bay, Section II
2. The amended sketch plan and special use permit was approved by the Board of
Commissioners February 20, 2006.
3. Due to environmental constraints the 2006 plan was reconfigured as shown on the
proposed preliminary plat.
4. The proposed development is located at a proposed terminus of the Mid-Currituck Bridge
(STIP R-2576 preferred alternative MCB4). Right of way acquisition has not occurred.
II. USE PERMIT REVIEW STANDARDS:
Use Permit Criteria and Preliminary Staff Findings:
Use permits (UP) are intended to allow the Board of Commissioners flexibility in the
administration of the UDO. Through the UP procedure, property uses which would otherwise
be considered undesirable in certain districts can be developed subject to conditions of
approval to minimize any negative effects they might have on surrounding properties.
In order to approve a UP, certain criteria must be satisfied. The criteria and preliminary staff
findings of fact are outlined as follows:
1. The use will not endanger the public health or safety.
Preliminary Staff Findings:
a. Community water and sanitary sewer will be provided to the proposed development.
b. The roadway shall be built to NCDOT construction standards.
c. Stormwater will be collected and managed by means acceptable to the state and
county.
The evidence in the record, prepared in absence of testimony presented at a public
hearing, supports the finding that the use will not endanger the public health or safety.
2. The use will not injure the value of adjoining or abutting lands and will be in harmony with the
area in which it is located.
Preliminary Staff Findings:
a. The proposed phase II of this development is consistent with the phase I portion of the
development completed in 2007 in that the lot sizes and density are similar and would
be in harmony with the adjoining properties.
b. No evidence has been submitted that this proposed project will decrease the property
values of adjoining or abutting lands.

PUD ALLOCATION:
3.B.a
3. The use will be in conformity with the Land Use Plan or other officially adopted plans.
Preliminary Staff Findings:
The 2006 Land Use Plan classifies this site as Full Service within the Corolla subarea.
The Full Service area identifies a residential base development density to be 2 units per
acre, but could be increased to 3-4 units per acre through overlay zoning depending upon
services available and potential impacts on the surrounding area.
The policy emphasis for the Corolla subarea is to allow for predominately medium density
residential development (2 to 3 units per acre) with minimal commercial development
arranged in clusters. An overall density of no more than 3 units per acre should apply to
PUDs with a mandated 30% permanent open space requirement.
The proposed use is in keeping with the policies of the plan, some of which are:
POLICY HN1: Currituck County shall encourage development to occur at densities
appropriate for the location. LOCATION AND DENSITY FACTORS shall include whether
the development is within an environmentally suitable area, the type and capacity of
sewage treatment available to the site, the adequacy of transportation facilities providing
access to the site, and the proximity of the site to existing and planned urban services. For
example, projects falling within the Full Services areas of the Future Land Use Map would
be permitted a higher density because of the availability of infrastructure as well as
similarity to the existing development pattern. Such projects could be developed at a
density of two (2) or more dwelling units per acre. Projects within areas designated as
Limited Service would be permitted a density of one (1) to one and one half (1.5) units
per acre depending upon the surrounding development pattern and availability of
resources. Projects within areas designated as Rural or Conservation by the Future Land
Use Plan would be permitted a much lower density of 1 dwelling unit per 3 acres because
of the lack of infrastructure in the area, the existing low density development pattern, and
presence of environmentally sensitive natural areas.
POLICY HN3: Currituck County shall especially encourage two forms of residential
development, each with the objective of avoiding traditional suburban sprawl:
1. OPEN SPACE DEVELOPMENTS that cluster homes on less land, preserving permanently
dedicated open space and often employ on-site or community sewage treatment. These
types of developments are likely to occur primarily in the Conservation, Rural, and to a
certain extent the Limited Service areas identified on the Future Land Use Map.
2. COMPACT, MIXED USE DEVELOPMENTS or DEVELOPMENTS NEAR A MIXTURE OF USES
that promote a return to balanced, self-supporting community centers generally served by
centralized water and sewer. The types of development are contemplated for the Full
Service Areas identified on the Future Land Use Map.

The evidence in the record, prepared in absence of testimony presented at a public
hearing, supports the finding that the use will not injure the value of adjoining or abutting
lands and will be in harmony with the area in which it is located.
3.B.a
4. The use will not exceed the county's ability to provide adequate public facilities, including,
but not limited to, schools, fire and rescue, law enforcement, and other county facilities.
Applicable state standards and guidelines shall be followed for determining when public
facilities are adequate. Such facilities must be in place or programmed to be in place
within two years after the initial approval of the plan (sketch plan in the case of major
subdivisions).
Preliminary Staff Findings:
a. The student generation rates are not applied to residential subdivisions located on the
outer banks.
b. SOBWS will provide water service for the proposed lots within this development. The
sanitary sewer services provider, Carolina Water Service, Inc. of North Carolina, will
provide sewer needs for the proposed lots within this development for a combined
maximum capacity of 38,880 gallons per day.
The evidence in the record, prepared in absence of testimony presented at a public
hearing, supports the finding the use will not exceed the county’s ability to provide
adequate public facilities.
III. TECHNICAL REVIEW COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Pursuant to the Unified Development Ordinance, the Technical Review Committee recommends
approval subject to the following plan corrections:
1. All stormwater and utility infrastructure located on individual lots shall be located within a
utility/stormwater/drainage easement.
2. The NCDENR stormwater permit shall be updated or modified to provide the actual lot
sizes and coverage allocations for each lot prior to recording the final plat.
IV. PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
Mr. Craddock moved to approve PB 87-56 with the Technical Review Committee and staff
recommendations included in the case analysis. Mr. Cartwright seconded the motion and
motion carried unanimously.

3.B.a
Ms. Voliva said the wetlands and areas to be filled shown on the plan were surveyed and
identified by the Army Corps. A permit has been obtained from the Corps and the wetlands
mitigation credits have been paid by the current property owner.
Mr. Craddock asked staff if they have found any other issues with drainage that would not be
mitigated with this being filled with the stormwater pemit being updated.
Ms. Voliva said no.
Mr. Cooper asked staff since the Army Corps got the plat have there been any revisions to it.
Ms. Voliva said no related to wetlands.
Mr. Cooper asked staff since this is an alternative bridge landing site for the Mid-Currituck Bridge,
the state has no rights to the property at this time.
Ms. Voliva said at this time the state does not.
Ms. Overstreet asked if lots 60, 61, and 62 have wetlands on the back and will it remain wetlands
or be filled.
Ms. Voliva stated it will remain wetlands.
Mr. Halloran said he would be glad to answer any questions the board may have.
Mr. Gomez said the Army Corps looked at the plat very closely and the permit is in place.
Ms. Overstreet asked if the piers have been permitted by the Army Corps of Engineering.
Ms. Voliva said the individual piers would be permitted individually with their lot construction; and
the community pier does have a major CAMA permit. The individual piers would have to be
permitted through CAMA as well.
Mr. Cooper closed the public hearing.

ordinance we are reviewing this development under. In the end, I don’t think it really
matters because the most restrictive, and current ordinance is actually being met (10yr
post cannot exceed 2yr pre, wooded). This was taken out of the narrative (the 10yr post
is listed as 20.95cfs in the calculations, but that doesn’t make a difference):

Ordinance Amending Article II, Chapter 8 of the Currituck County Code of
Ordinances Regulating Licensure of Sexually Oriented Businesses
This memorandum is provided in support of the above-referenced ordinance
amendment appearing on the Board’s meeting agenda for February 2, 1015. The purpose for
the ordinance amendment is to clarify a definition, remove erroneous language from the
section related to criminal penalty for violation of the ordinance, add an appropriate reference
to the provision for civil remedy of violations and to add a section regarding location of sexually
oriented businesses to protect sensitive uses from secondary impacts and provide consistency
between county ordinances. Each amendment is discussed below.
Amendment to Section 8-33. Definitions
The ordinance will amend the definition of “Adult Live Entertainer” to provide that any
person providing adult live entertainment is required to be licensed under the county ordinance
whether that person is an employee of the sexually oriented business or independent
contractor and whether they do or do not receive a fee for performing. As currently defined an
adult live entertainer might argue that a license is required only if they are an employee of the
sexually oriented business.
Amendment to Section 8-50. Criminal Penalty
The ordinance will strike the word “following” from the first line of this section so that
clearly any person who violates provisions of the ordinance are guilty of a misdemeanor. It
appears that when the ordinance was originally codified the first sentence was not modified to
reflect location of the section in the ordinance. In recent years the word “following” with no
Attachment: Memorandum Secondary Impacts on Sexually Oriented Businesses (1033 : Sexually Oriented Businesses Amendment)
4.A.a
1
Packet Pg. 106
regulation thereafter was used in argument by a defendant that they were not subject to
criminal penalty because there was no regulation or prohibition “following” the section.
Amendment to Section 8-51. Civil Injunctions
The ordinance will strike “G.S. 160A-175” as a reference for civil remedies to enforce the
ordinance and add “section 1-8” which is the reference to civil remedies for enforcement of the
Currituck County Code of Ordinances.
Amendment adding Section 8-52. Location.
As currently written, the ordinance regulating the licensing of sexually oriented
businesses does not provide a requirement for location of such businesses. The lack of a
location requirement is inconsistent with the Currituck County Unified Development Ordinance
which limits the overconcentration of sexually oriented businesses in one area and recognizes
secondary impacts of sexually oriented businesses on sensitive uses by requiring a minimum
distance between sexually oriented businesses and sensitive uses such as residential dwellings,
religious complexes, schools, day care centers, public parks and other public facilities. As
proposed, the ordinance will not allow location of a sexually oriented business within 1,500 feet
of another sexually oriented business or within 1,500 feet of a building used as a residential
dwelling, residential zoning district, religious institution, school, state licensed day care center,
public library, public playground, public swimming pool or public park. Such language is
consistent with Currituck County Unified Development Ordinance requirements.
Under North Carolina law and by decisions of state and federal courts, a county is
authorized to regulate sexually oriented businesses. When the Board of Commissioners
originally adopted the county’s ordinance regulating and requiring the licensing of sexually
oriented businesses on July 7, 2003 the board properly considered studies regarding the
secondary impact of sexually oriented businesses and ordinances from other jurisdictions. With
the modification of the county’s ordinance it is appropriate that the Board study potential
adverse secondary impacts to be prevented. This can include a review of studies conducted in
other localities that the Board reasonably believes to be reliable and relevant.
The following studies are relevant to findings of adverse secondary impacts of sexually
oriented businesses on property value and sensitive uses and the need to adopt location
requirements for sexually oriented businesses:
Survey of Texas Appraisers; Secondary Effects of Sexually Oriented Businesses on Market
Values, June 2008
This study was commissioned by the Texas City Attorneys Association to determine the
opinions of real estate appraisers of the effects certain land uses had on residential and
commercial land values. An internet assisted survey was sent to 764 Texas appraisers who

Packet Pg. 107
were Members of the Appraisal Institute and Senior Residential Appraisers. Of those sent
surveys, 195 responded with a response rate of 25.5 percent. The study concluded, among
other things, the following:
 More than 91 percent of responding appraisers believe that gentleman’s
clubs/strip club, adult media/video stores, video peep booth businesses and
lingerie and adult novelties stores have a negative impact on the market value of
single-family homes located within 500 feet of such use;
 More than 71 percent of responding appraisers believe that the negative effect
on the market value of a single-family home due to the proximity of a sexually
oriented business do not disappear until at least a half-mile or more (2,640 +
feet);
 More than 80 percent of responding appraisers believe that the concentration of
two or more sexually oriented businesses increases the negative effect on
market value of a single-family home;
 64 percent of responding appraisers believe that gentleman’s clubs/strip club,
adult media/video stores, video peep booth businesses and lingerie and adult
novelties stores have a negative impact on the market value of a community
shopping center located within 500 feet of such use;
 More than 63 percent of responding appraisers believe that the negative effect
on the market value of a community shopping center due to the proximity of a
sexually oriented business do not disappear until at least a quarter of a mile or
more (1,320 + feet);
 Nearly 73 percent of responding appraisers believe that the concentration or
two or more gentleman’s clubs/strip clubs, adult media and video store or video
peep booth businesses increases the negative effect on the market value of a
community shopping center;
 More than 89 percent of responding appraisers believe that having a retail
business that is open after 11:00 p.m. may have a negative effect on the market
value of a single-family home located within 500 feet.
A Report on the Secondary Impacts of Adult Businesses in the City of Denver, January 1998
In this study the study team reviewed impact studies conducted in 21 other cities and
counties across the United States. The study team also reviewed the impact of sexually
oriented businesses throughout Denver, Colorado, the secondary impact of such uses on
neighborhoods, the incidences of crime and the impact on property values. The study team
concluded that:

Studies from the 21 other jurisdictions found that sexually oriented
businesses caused negative secondary impacts to nearby properties and
neighborhoods, including criminal activity, litter, noise, traffic problems and
depreciation of property values;

People who live or own businesses near adult use businesses, particularly
bookstores and theaters, feel the presence in the neighborhood lowers
property values, generates crime and contributes to an overall decrease in
the quality of life;
 Of Denver residents surveyed, 69 percent felt that adult businesses had a
negative overall impact on their neighborhood impacting neighborhood
appearance, litter, traffic and decreased property values;
 Activities observed by those living near adult use businesses included littering,
trespassing and drinking alcohol in public.
Litter generated by such
businesses included printed material containing pornography, used condoms,
sex paraphernalia and used syringes;
 75 percent of residents and 67 percent of business owners felt that adult
bookstores with live amusement had a negative overall impact on the
neighborhood with the observation of drug dealing, trash, prostitution and
illicit sexual activity occurring in parking lots’
 80 percent or residents and 41 percent of business owners felt that adult
theaters had a negative overall impact on the neighborhood with the
observation of prostitution, drug dealing, litter and trespassing;
 78 percent of residents and 47 percent of business owners felt that adult
cabarets and shops had a negative overall impact on the neighborhood with
the observation of litter and trash containing pornographic material;
 Analysis of police data showed that the incidence of disturbing the peace,
public indecency, prostitution, drug-related violations, loitering, robbery,
larceny, theft from motor vehicle and drinking and urinating in public was
significantly higher at many of the individual adult business locations than in
the city as a whole and that prowler and disturbance complaints, public
drunkenness, drug related crimes and public indecency was higher in areas
surrounding adult theaters and bookstores than in areas surrounding other
types of adult businesses;
 Assessed value of commercial properties within adult business blocks and
residential properties abutting adult business blocks increased to a lesser degree
than other properties in the same location;
 The impact on residential values is greater for properties that abut adult use
businesses than on commercial properties that abut such businesses.
Adult Business Study, Town and Village of Ellicottville/Cattaraugus County, New York,
January, 1998
This study was conducted by the Town and Village of Ellicottville, New York prior to the
location of sexually oriented businesses within the town. At the time of the study Ellicottville
was a small tourist destination community in rural western New York. With a year round
population of 1,600 there was a large and growing second home population. Ski areas in the
winter and summer outdoor recreational activities were important to the community’s partial

dependence upon the tourism industry with the atmosphere and aesthetic features of the
community an important economic value. The Ellicottville study included review of studies
from other jurisdictions including New York City, New York; Islip, New York; Hyde Park, New
York; State of Minnesota; Phoenix, Arizona; Austin, Texas; Whittier, California; and Indianapolis,
Indiana. The Ellicottville study concluded that:
 The review of the various special studies on adult entertainment uses by other
communities leads to the conclusion that the location of adult entertainment
businesses can cause negative effects on the immediate
neighborhood. Those
negative effects can include increased crime, decreased
market values, public
resentment, a general blighting of the commercial
district and a negative
influence upon community character;
 Location of adult businesses within the historic business district could counter
the town’s efforts to create a family-oriented four season resort community;
 Establishment of adult uses near residential areas could have a disruptive
effect on the aesthetic qualities and residential values of established
neighborhoods and make a neighborhood less desirable for current residents
and potential home purchasers;
 There are certain land uses that are more susceptible to the impacts of an
adult entertainment neighbor including residential neighborhoods, schools,
churches, public facilities, parks, playgrounds and historic resources;
 Separation distances or buffers can be utilized to mitigate impacts to those
most sensitive land uses.
National Law Center for Children and Families, NLC Summaries of “SOB Land Use” Studies,
Crime Impact Studies by Municipal and State Governments on Harmful Secondary Effects of
Sexually-Oriented Businesses, 1996
This study, including the review of studies from 43 jurisdictions, assesses the impact of
sexually oriented businesses upon nearby residential and commercial areas. The study
particularly notes the effect of sexually oriented businesses on smaller municipalities. The
study finds that sexually oriented businesses support detrimental activities within the vicinity
that are incompatible with activities occurring within residential areas. Sexually oriented
businesses also have a negative impact on local businesses and that when sexually oriented
businesses are located near each other or near businesses that serve alcohol the harmful
impact increases. The study further concluded:
 There is a significant increase in property and personal crimes that occur within
1,000 feet of a sexually oriented business when it is located near an establishment
that sells alcohol;
 Sexually oriented businesses help create conditions that draw outsiders to the
area and provides venues for opportunistic crimes;





Public and semi-private spaces such as parking lots, spaces between buildings
and parks, located near sexually oriented businesses become used for illicit
purposes that drive away legitimate users and residents;
The presence of sexually oriented businesses effects perceived reductions in
the value of residential and commercial property;
Sexually oriented businesses are regional facilities that attract persons from
outside the community which makes sexually oriented business owners less
responsive to neighborhood problems, decreases the informal social control
of behavior and increases the potential for opportunistic crime;
The negative impacts of a sexually oriented business in a small town will likely
be more magnified than in a bigger city.
Adult Use Study, Newport News, Virginia Department of Planning and Development, March,
1996
This study included the review of sexually oriented business impact on public safety
from studies conducted in Indianapolis, Indiana; Los Angeles, California; Austin, Texas; Amarillo,
Texas; Beaumont, Texas; Los Angeles County, California; and Phoenix, Arizona. The study also
reviewed the impact of sexually oriented business impact nearby properties as set forth in
studies from the same communities as well as St. Paul, Minnesota. In addition, Newport News
studied the effect of sexually oriented businesses on public safety and nearby properties in its
city. The study concluded that:





The location of adult uses near other uses leads to increased crime and declining
property values. In Newport News police calls for service indicated adult uses
experience more crime problems that impact nearby neighborhoods and
businesses than other land uses;
Comparing adult uses with restaurants serving alcohol but not adult uses
indicated that adult uses have more calls for police service;
Comparison of control areas to areas with adult uses suggest that police calls for
service and crimes are higher in areas with concentration of adult uses;
A survey of Newport News realtors indicates 90 percent of realtors believe that
adult uses will lessen nearby residential property values and may lessen nearby
commercial property values depending on the type of adult use and the amount
of concentration;
From the studies of other jurisdictions, Newport News determined that:
Indianapolis, Indiana
The Indianapolis study concluded that residential properties in study areas
appreciated in value at one-half the rate of control areas. Appraisers felt that
there is a negative impact on residential and commercial property within one
block of an adult bookstore. The negative impact decreased with distance

from the bookstore. The negative impact was greater for residential
properties than commercial properties.
Los Angeles, California
The Los Angeles report surveyed 400 real estate professionals with 20 percent
responding. 88% felt that the concentration of adult businesses would
decrease the market value of business property located in the vicinity.
felt the concentration would decrease the rental value of business property.
59% felt the concentration would decrease the ability to rent or sale
business property nearby. 73% felt the concentration would decrease the
annual income of businesses located in the vicinity. 90% felt the
concentration of adult uses would decrease the market value of private
residences within 1,000 feet, 86% felt the concentration would decrease the
rental value of residential property, and 90% felt the concentration
would decrease the ability to rent or sale residential property within 1,000
feet.
St. Paul, Minnesota
The study Effects on Surrounding Area of Adult Entertainment Businesses
indicated there was a correlation between deteriorating housing values,
crime rates and the location of adult businesses. It also concluded that there
was a stronger correlation with neighborhood deterioration after the
establishment of an adult business than before.
Austin, Texas
A survey of real estate appraisers and lenders in Austin, Texas found that 88%
of the respondents believed an adult bookstore would decrease residential
property values within one block. They noted adult businesses nearby made
homes less attractive to families, which reduces demand and property values.
Dana M. Tucker, Preventing the Secondary Effects of Adult Entertainment Establishments; Is
Zoning the Solution, Journal of Land Use and Environmental Law, Vol. 12:2, Spring, 1997
This law review article considers how sexually oriented businesses impact a community,
what are the secondary effects, and what needs to be in place for an ordinance to be sufficient
to protect the local community. Adverse secondary effects on a community are shown to cause
deterioration of properties, increased crime, and the attraction of undesirable, transient
people. The secondary effect studies on property value nearby sexually oriented businesses
ranged from surveys of realtors, appraisers, lenders and property owners who opined that they
would not buy property in an area where an existing sexually oriented business was located and
if established in a residential or commercial area it would lower property values from a
“moderate to substantial amount.” Another approach was used in Los Angeles and Indianapolis
that reviewed property values in an area with a sexually oriented business and in a similar area

without one. The effect on property values depends upon the type of adult business, how it is
operated and how it is marketed.
In addition to these studies, consideration has been given to publications from the
University of North Carolina School of Government, notably David W. Owens, “Regulating
Sexually Oriented Businesses”, Special Series No. 15, January, 1997; and David W. Owens,
“Recent Developments Regarding Local Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses”, Planning
and Zoning No. 10, August, 1998. Also considered is the ordinances of the Town of Nags Head,
North Carolina and Dare County, North Carolina regulating sexually oriented businesses whose
findings were based on the review of studies from throughout the United States. Lastly,
reliance has been placed on studies cited and addressed by the courts in City of Renton v.
Playtime Theaters, Inc., 475 U.S. 41 (1986), Young v. American Mini Theaters, Inc., 427 U.S. 50
(1976), and Barnes v. Glenn Theater, Inc., 501 U.S. 560 (1991).
The studies cited in this memorandum, as well as the additional information cited in the
previous paragraph, are compiled and available for your further review. The information is
contained in a notebook entitled “Studies on Secondary Impacts of Sexually Oriented
Businesses” and filed with the Clerk to the Board of Commissioners. Staff recommends
approval of the ordinance as presented.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING ARTICLE II, CHAPTER 8 OF THE CURRITUCK
COUNTY CODE OF ORDINANCES TO PREVENT HARMFUL SECONDARY
IMPACTS ON SENSITIVE USES OF PROPERTY AND TO PROVIDE FOR
LICENSURE CONSISTENCY WITH OTHER COUNTY ORDINANCES
WHEREAS, pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. §153A-121 a county may by ordinance define,
regulate, prohibit, or abate acts, omissions, or conditions detrimental to the health, safety, or
welfare of its citizens; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. §§153A-134 and 160A-181.1 a county may
regulate and license businesses, forms of amusement and entertainment and regulate sexually
oriented businesses through zoning regulations, licensing requirements or other appropriate local
ordinances; and
WHEREAS, on July 7, 2003 a Currituck County ordinance was enacted regulating
sexually oriented businesses and on June 21, 2010 the ordinance was amended to ensure that the
licensure of sexually oriented businesses and adult live entertainers is consistent with other
county ordinances; and
WHEREAS, it is the purpose of this ordinance to regulate sexually oriented businesses in
order to protect the public health, safety and welfare of citizens and visitors and to establish
reasonable an uniform regulations to prevent the deleterious location of sexually oriented
businesses within the county; and
WHEREAS, this ordinance is designed to minimize the potential secondary impacts of
sexually oriented businesses on sensitive uses such as residential districts, schools, churches, day
care centers and the like and to provide an area where First Amendment rights may be exercised
without infringing on the rights of others and to provide consistency with other county
ordinances on the location of sexually oriented businesses; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners for the County of Currituck further finds that
tourism is a major component of the county’s economy and that sexually oriented businesses will
have negative effect on tourism and the county as a family vacation destination; and
WHEREAS, with the enactment of N.C. Gen. Stat. §160A-181.1 the North Carolina
General Assembly has found and determined that:
sexually oriented businesses can and do cause adverse secondary
impacts on neighboring properties. Numerous studies that are
relevant to North Carolina have found increases in crime rates and
decreases in neighboring property values as a result of the location
of sexually oriented businesses in inappropriate locations or from
the operation of such businesses in an inappropriate manner.
Reasonable local government regulations of sexually oriented
businesses in order to prevent or ameliorate adverse secondary

impacts is consistent with the federal constitutional protection
afforded to nonobscene but sexually explicit speech.
;and
WHEREAS, based on the North Carolina General Assembly’s findings and
determination and evidence concerning the adverse secondary effects of sexually oriented
business on the community and findings incorporated in the cases City of Renton v. Playtime
Theaters, Inc., 475 U.S. 41 (1986), Young v. American Mini Theaters, Inc., 427 U.S. 50 (1976),
and Barnes v. Glenn Theater, Inc., 501 U.S. 560 (1991), and on studies in other communities
including, but not limited to, Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas; Denver Colorado; Ellicottville, New
York; Newport News, Virginia; Indianapolis, Indiana; Los Angeles, California; and St. Paul,
Minnesota; Austin, Texas; the findings in Article IV, Chapter 12 of the Town of Nags Head,
North Carolina Code of Ordinances; the findings in Chapter 112 of the Dare County, North
Carolina Code of Ordinances; David W. Owens, “Regulating Sexually Oriented Businesses”,
Special Series No. 15, January, 1997; and David W. Owens, “Recent Developments Regarding
Local Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses”, Planning and Zoning No. 10, August, 1998,
the Board of Commissioners for the County of Currituck further finds that:
(1)
Sexually oriented businesses lend themselves to ancillary unlawful and unhealthy
activities that are uncontrolled by the operators of the establishments and that
without reasonable regulation there is no mechanism to make owners of such
establishments responsible for activities that occur on their premises.
(2)
Employees of certain sexually oriented businesses engage in higher incidences of
certain types of illicit sexual behavior than employees of other commercial
establishments.
(3)
At least 50 communicable diseases may be spread by activities occurring in
sexually oriented businesses including, but not limited to, syphilis, gonorrhea,
human immunodeficiency infection, genital herpes, hepatitis B, Non A, Non B
amebiasis, salmonella infections and shigella infections.
(4)
Sanitary conditions in some sexually oriented businesses are unhealthy, in part,
because the activities conducted there are unhealthy and, in part, because of the
unregulated nature of the activities and the failure of owners and operators of the
facilities to self-regulate those activities and maintain those facilities.
(5)
Numerous studies and reports have demonstrated that the consumption of alcohol
or alcoholic beverages at a sexually oriented business increases the potential for
illicit sexual activity, violence, acts characterized as disturbing the peace, and
other indentified nuisances to occur.
(6)
Studies have demonstrated that sexually oriented businesses are regional
businesses and as such have a regional draw.

(7)
Small towns, and by extension rural areas, do not have sufficient target
populations to support sexually oriented businesses as has been demonstrated in
numerous trade area studies.
(8)
Studies have demonstrated that a sexually oriented business in a small town, and
by extension rural areas, will draw in a regional population consisting largely of
adult males in their twenties whose interests and activities are different from those
of the older adults or families in the community.
(9)
Studies have demonstrated that where sexually oriented businesses are located,
other activities that are illegal or unhealthy tend to accompany them, concentrate
around them, and be aggravated by them. Such other activities include but are not
limited to prostitution; solicitation for prostitution; lewd and lascivious behavior;
possession, distribution, and transportation of obscene materials; sale or
possession of controlled substances; and violent crimes against persons and
property.
(10)
Sexually oriented businesses tend to blight neighborhoods, adversely affect
neighboring businesses, lower property values, foster an atmosphere that
promotes crime, and ultimately lead other residents and commercial
establishments to relocate.
22
23
24
25
(11)
By establishing location criteria to keep sexually oriented businesses away from
sensitive uses, such as residential districts, schools, day care centers, religious
facilities, playgrounds and parks the potential for the indentified secondary harms
to be felt by the sensitive uses is lessened.
26

(12)
Those individuals who desire to purchase, lease, or sell those items or services

provided by sexually oriented businesses have additional reasonable alternative
avenues available to do so including but not limited to:

Access to sexually oriented items and services within the county
which are permitted to sell and distribute sexually oriented items and
services;

WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners for Currituck County, North Carolina, after
consideration of the issues raised in studies of secondary impacts of sexually oriented businesses
finds that the location of sexually oriented businesses in areas where they would be incompatible
with surrounding uses could impair the health, safety, welfare and financial well-being of the
county’s citizens and visitors

A. Crawford Volunteer Fire Department Presentation - ISO Rating
Crawford Fire Chief Chris Dailey reported the findings of the recent ISO Rating. He provided a power point
presentation showing the breakdown of how the credits were awarded in the areas of Communication, Water
Supply, Fire Department, Divergence and Community Risk Reduction. Chief Dailey thanked the Board for their
support. He recognized Moyock, Lower Currituck, and Camden Volunteer Fire Departments and thanked
them for their support and assistance because they were a huge part of the team it took to get through the
process. He noted there were still things to be done and they would continue to work together with the other
departments to get the same class of rating.
Chief Dailey also asked the Board to consider reviewing the hand out Taking Action Against Cancer in the Fire
Service. He said they have a number of their own in the Fire Department that are in remission or getting
treatment for cancer. They thought this could be one thing that could be offered as an incentive to assist the
Fire Departments in getting folks to join. This insurance is $90.00 per person, per year. It can cover police,
911 responders and others for very little money. He said they would be working with the Fire and EMS Board
and be coming back to the Board once they get additional information about the policy.
The Board congratulated the Fire Departments and thanked them for their service.
B. Wild Horse Management Agreement
County Manager Daniel Scanlon reviewed the proposed Wild Horse Management Agreement by first
explaining that back in the early 1990’s when the Wild Horses were allowed to roam free throughout all of the
outer banks we started to see with development and growth, a lot more interaction with people with vehicles
and unfortunately some of those interactions resulted in the death of the horses. There was an initiative to
relocate the horses to north of Corolla and that required the construction of a fence from the sound to the
ocean at the north beach ramp. The fence was not permitted by CAMA which required the county to go
through a variance process. One of the requirements of that permit was that a plan be developed to address
the long term management of the horses and to continue to justify and support the need of having the fence.
A Management Plan was prepared and as part of the agreement, it is required to be periodically updated. The
agreement involves four main agencies consisting of major property owners in the four wheel drive area of
Corolla, Corolla Wild Horse Fun, County of Currituck, the State, and Fish and Wildlife. The group has been
meeting over the last two years and unanimously support the agreement with only one issue of contention
which is the herd size. There is a six member advisory board that oversees the Management Agreement. The
group meets quarterly and has prepared this update to the Agreement before the Board of Commissioners
tonight. The advisory board sets goals, each goal has an action plan and those are set out in the Agreement.
To get through the issue of contention on the size of the herd, each agency has an opportunity to put a factual
piece together that supports their opinion on what they feel is a proper sized herd. Herd sizes are counted
annually as required by the terms in the Agreement. Appendices attached set out additional historical

information, land use information, adopted Legislation and Ordinances, information on the various agencies
and their missions, protocols, and other general information.
Mr. Scanlon noted the other agencies have executed the Agreement and it is on the agenda tonight for the
Board’s consideration with his recommendation to approve this plan.
Commissioner Hall asked that a change be made on Page 39 of the Agreement to change the name of the
header under the stakeholders from Corolla Citizens to add Carova citizens or Currituck Outer Banks Citizens.

NEW BUSINESS
A) Consent Agenda
County Manager Dan Scanlon stated that he was asked by a commissioner to provide additional information
on Item 4 of the Consent Agenda dealing with the service contract with McClees Consulting, Inc. Mr. Scanlon
stated that the county contracted with McClees Consulting, a lobbying firm, last year and they helped us with
several key pieces of legislation that were being proposed in the General Assembly, the most important of
those was to place a toll on the Knotts Island Ferry Route. They were instrumental in helping the county to
defeat that effort. They are presently assisting the county on the new transportation initiatives to help us
understand the new law and how we can best position ourselves. They have proven themselves to be very

B) Commissioner's Report
Commissioner Beaumont reported he attended the Parks and Recreation Board meeting, Phase II of the sports
complex is moving forward and they will be coming forward in the budget sessions for a budgetary number to
procure those facilities. Commissioner Beaumont also noted it was that time of year again that the Girl Scouts
are about to engage in the annual sales of cookies. This year they will be raising money to take care of the
veterans.
Commissioner Hall reported that he and Commissioner Beaumont were invited to the Carova Fire Department
for their annual training to watch them train. Commissioner Hall extended his thanks to Chief Vann and the
volunteers, and invited other community organizations to invite the Board to participate or view what they are
doing.
Commissioner Aydlett reported that he had an opportunity to talk with Mr. Brumsey, Attorney for the Game
Board to see if they would like to partner with us in sending a letter or resolution to Fish and Wildlife
addressing the concerns folks have expressed over the flyovers. Mr. Brumsey informed Commissioner Aydlett
that he felt his Board would be in agreement to partner and would get back with him tomorrow to confirm.
Commissioner Aydlett stated if the Board of Commissioners were in agreement, he would ask that Mr. Scanlon
draft a letter to Fish and Wildlife stating that we understand they have a job to do but to ask if they could reevaluate the timing of their surveys as not to affect the migratory birds. The letter would need to be sent to
the southeast region in Georgia and also the northern division since we fall under the Backbay area.
Commissioner Aydlett stated he had also contacted Ducks Unlimited but they did not want to get involved at
this time. Commissioner Griggs added that the letter should provide some mechanism that we could look
forward to a response.
