But on Ocracoke, where fierce independence and individualism runs as deep as the distrust for govern- ment, residents opposed a 1981 zoning referendum 424 to 238. Some say the referendum didn't pass because it was too compHcated and wasn't explained clearly. Others say natives were afraid the ordinance would backfire on them, that they wouldn't be allowed to do what they wanted with their land, that they couldn't keep boats and crab pots in their yards. Irvin Scott Garrish, Ballance's uncle, was a county com- missioner at the time the zoning ordinance came up for a vote. He was in favor of the law, but he accepts the fact that residents defeated it. Now, another new motel blocks his view of Silver Lake. "I'm selfish. I didn't want that in front of me, " he says as he points to the motel. "But I couldn't help it. People were afraid they would lose some of the freedom they have on the island. The freedom to do what they wanted to with their land." Ballance and Garrish believe problems of overdevelop- ment are just beginning. Already, the water and electrical utilities feel the added burden. In the summer, it's not un- usual to be without water for two to three hours, and brownouts and blackouts are common, says Garrish.

Cottrell says he voted in favor of the zoning ordinance. "I believe orderly, controlled growth is preferable to random growth, " he says. But there is a double standard at work on the island, says Cottrell. "The feeling of the natives is, 'Don't do this with your p
