Since my last report, we have issued four land development permits and three sign permits. We will have a few more voluntary annexations due to the development in the area and the desire to hook up to town water and sewer. We are also finishing the final steps of the special use application for Bright-Meyers 2001.
As you know the implementation phase of the STEP grant has begun. The market study and zip code survey is finishing with the recommendation to be presented at a meeting on August 4, 2010. The in-river activities group is scheduling a trip on the rivers to assess the amount of debris removal that may be required and will be coordinating the river clean-up. Our first draw of $40,000 has been received by the town.
The County Planning Board activities on the Safe Slope Ordinance and the comprehensive plan have been reported well in the paper and the efforts have been proceeding.
I did take some time off during July for vacation, but the meeting schedule has been pretty consistent. Several meetings were rescheduled due to lack of available membership due to other vacations; some were moved to another week or scheduled to next month.
I have been dealing with NCDENR regarding the status of the Palmer Street Texaco and will have additional information soon.
There have also been several other projects that have been reported elsewhere.
