Council tables food truck rules after mayor objects

Food trucks have become “a nuisance” in some parts of Elizabeth City because of a lack of regulation, according to Development Director Carl Best. “It has become a circus atmosphere in certain areas,” Best told the Elizabeth City Council at its Nov. 9 regular meeting. “Some of the trucks and some of the vendors have become a nuisance to the city. They’re dropping grease down our drains, they’re not obtaining their health licenses, they’re setting up without permits, they’re setting up in places where they shouldn’t be, running extension cords from other buildings, littering. ... We are not anti-food truck, though.” Elizabeth City currently regulates food trucks through its code of ordinances, not its Unified Development Ordinance, the city’s main zoning and development rulebook. Best said the UDO lacks a food truck section, which prompted the planning department to draft several pages of amendments that council considered Nov. 9. Despite Best’s concerns about bad actors among local food truck operators, council unanimously voted to table the proposed regulations at the request of Mayor Kirk Rivers. “There are a lot of things in here where if you’re a food truck operator it gives you heartburn,” Rivers said. “I would ask the

Surplus sale kicks off Perquimans band’s $85K goal to march in DC

The Perquimans High marching band needs $85,000 to march in Washington’s Fourth of July parade, and its fundraising kicks off Saturday with a sale of surplus from the former middle school. “We’re estimating it will cost about $85,000 to send the kids to the National Independence Day Parade in Washington," said Band Director Evan Copeland. "That is an awesome parade and a great opportunity to represent the state in this way.” At a Perquimans High home football game in early October, school officials announced the band had been selected to march in the parade. The trip will be a four-day, three-night stay in the nation's capital. “The students will go out and explore all the most cherished landmarks,” Copeland said. “The itinerary is chock-full of places to visit, such as the Smithsonian, and participating in the parade that goes along Constitution Avenue.” To help raise money, a liquidation sale will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 14 at the former Perquimans County Middle School, at 312 W. Main Street, Winfall. The proceeds from the surplus sale will benefit the band and items will include restaurant-style seating, TVs, large-scale kitchen equipment, office furniture and tables.

Packed meeting precedes vote on 133-lot Briarwood subdivision

It was standing room only at the Perquimans County Planning Board’s regular meeting Oct. 10. The board heard nearly two hours of comments from a full house of residents before approving a zoning map amendment for Briarwood Estates, a proposed 133-lot subdivision on 214 acres off Woodville Road in Hertford. The board includes five members, but member Thelma Finch-Copeland was not present and did not vote. Some residents called on the board to stop the subdivision at the outset, arguing that even a preliminary rezoning recommendation would create a “spiderweb” effect, opening the door to more high-density development, disrupting Perquimans’ rural peace and further straining utilities and school capacity. Others asked the board to table the vote in the name of “responsible growth.” Several endorsed the subdivision on the reputation of its applicant alone. The board ultimately found the proposed subdivision consistent with surrounding land uses and recommended rezoning the property, in the 300 to 400 block of Woodville Road, from Rural Agriculture District (RA) to Residential & Agricultural District (RA-32). RA-32 zoning allows major subdivisions; RA does not. Board members emphasized that their vote is a preliminary step in a long process that rezoning goes through before it appears
