A miniature golf course could be coming to Washington.

The Washington Planning Board’s tentative agenda for its meeting tonight includes the proposed miniature golf facility — Animal Adventure Miniature Golf — under its “informational items” category. Harold and Linda Curtis are preparing land behind Pelican’s SnoBalls on Carolina Avenue for an 18-hole course, said John Rodman, the city’s director of community and cultural resources.

The Curtises, who live in Winterville, operate Pelican’s SnoBalls. When they opened Pelican’s SnoBalls last summer, they talked about opening a miniature golf course on about 1.76 acres, according to a Daily News article published last summer.

Miniature golf courses are permitted in the city’s B-2 (business) districts, Rodman said. The Planning Board’s responsibility is to review the site plan for the miniature golf course — possibly suggesting changes related to parking and locations of entrances and exits at the facility, he noted.

Attempts to contact the Curtises were unsuccessful.

“He’s got 18 holes laid out. … It’s back behind the snow cone place behind the chicken place there, Zaxby’s. That was one of our issues to begin with, that the ingress and egress because you’re coming through one business to get to the other,” Rodman said. “We had some issues with that. The first site plan they put in, we had to redo some things because of parking. … They got that all straight.”

Although he has not visited the site recently, Rodman said, “They’re really doing a nice job of landscaping.”

Glen Moore, a city planner, said the city’s technical review committee — which includes representatives from the city’s planning, fire and building inspections departments — has signed off on the latest site plan and given a green light to the project.

Asked if there’s any thing unique about the proposed project, Moore said, “It’s our first (miniature golf course) that I’m aware of in the seven years I’ve been here.”

Also, the board is scheduled to conduct a public hearing on a request by East Carolina Farms to rezone 11.23 acres on U.S. Highway 17 at its intersection with New Hope Road from office and institutional to B-2 (general business). The board will make a recommendation on the request to the City Council. The city’s planning staff suggests the board ask the council to approve the rezoning request.

Currently, the land is in agricultural use. The B-2 district is primarily designed to provide roadside uses that will best accommodate the needs of the motoring public and of businesses demanding high-volume traffic.
