Next Monday’s Planning Board meeting, during which the Board was expected to consider a SAGA investor group’s application for a Special Use Permit for the Town’s first-ever mixed-use development, has been canceled because not enough Board members can attend to constitute a quorum, according to a Town notice released today.
Ginguite LLC’s plans for a proposed development comprised of luxury condominiums, retail shops, and a restaurant, at 6195 N. Croatan Hwy. (U.S. 158) will be considered at the Planning Board’s Sept. 18 meeting, along with any other Aug. 21 agenda items, the Town release said.
In an Aug. 3 post, The Beacon expressed some surprise that this meeting, along with three other substantive meetings, had been scheduled in August, which is traditionally a vacation month for local Outer Bankers. The cancellation of the Planning Board meeting is proof of that.
Still on the Town’s calendar this month is a town hall on Tuesday, Aug. 29, at 5 p.m., in the Pitts Center, to give residents and property owners an opportunity to comment upon the desirability and location of continued construction in Southern Shores of “multi-use pathways.” (See The Beacon, 8/3/23.)
We will preview the sidewalk town hall/forum a few days before it is held. Until then, we will be on vacation, too.
