EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 17 ' I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As the word update implies, the planning effort represented by this ' document was geared toward providing a "snapshot" of the County of Camden, North Carolina in 1993 as compared to 1986. Generally, the picture shows a county that is an appealing place to live and to visit ' and a county that is looking for better ways to serve the public and meet the demands of the future. CHAPTER II This Update is formatted along the planning guidelines ' INTRODUCTION of Subchapter 7B of the North Carolina Administrative Code, October 1989. Every effort has been made to ' adhere to state guidelines while developing a document to meet the needs of Camden County. The INTRODUCTION briefly discusses the planning process and the Coastal Area Management Act of 1974 (CAMA) and describes ' Camden County. CHAPTER III Current plans and documents were relied upon to DATA COLLECTION provide the base data for this Update. The 1990 ' AND ANALYSIS Census of Population and Housing. Summary of Population and Housing Characteristics of North Carolina, the County generated "State of Camden County, 1992" report, and the (unpublished) "Soil Survey of Camden County, North Carolina" are examples. The results of a citizen survey, conducted in 1990-91, were also evaluated throughout the process, ' particularly in policy development and implementation planning. Analysis of policies contained in the 1986 ' Plan served to explain where the County had been successful and where more work was needed. Analysis of the policies adopted by neighboring jurisdictions served to show commonalities while highlighting areas ' requiring further evaluation and discussion. CHAPTER IV The land use issues, policies, and implementation LAND USE ISSUES, strategies contained in this Update were formulated BACKGROUND, considering the citizen survey, present policies and POLICIES, AND implementation strategies, and public input generated IMPLEMENTATION at regularly scheduled meetings of the Planning Board ' STRAGEGIES and three public information meetings. While there is general satisfaction with the County and its service provision and a desire by many to maintain the status ' quo, a vigorous examination of issues, policies, and implementation strategies was undertaken. This Update focuses primarily on issues facing the County and in some cases its neighbors, during the next five years. In fact, many of the issues considered in the Update extend beyond the five year ' planning period. This Update recognizes the need for Camden County to build its tax base while protecting - 1 - its environment and maintaining its rural character. In large measure, the policies and implementation strategies developed during the preparation of this Update emphasize the County's intention to rely on existing federal, state, and local regulations and agencies with land use related jurisdiction. During the planning period, the County must continue to develop its water distribution system. It must also face the likelihood of ever increasing controversies over land use and zoning guidelines as sometimes conflicting uses vie for space and prominence. The County is committed to the implementation of the policies stated herein in a timely manner. It should charge itself with an implementation review and status report mid -way through the planning period. CHAPTER V The land classification system provides a framework to LAND be used by the County to identify the future use of CLASSIFICATION all lands. As such, the land classification system is SYSTEM a tool to help implement policies. The designation of land classes allows the County to illustrate its policy statements as to where and to what density it wants growth to occur and where it wants to conserve natural and cultural resources by guiding growth. 1. Limited Transition The purpose of the limited transition class is to provide for future development on lands that will be provided with some services, but are suitable for lower densities than those normally associated with developed or urban transition classifications. Areas meeting the intent of this classification are presently being developed or will be developed during the planning period. These areas are in, or will be in, a "transition" state of development going from lower intensity uses to higher intensity uses and as such will eventually require infrastructure, facilities, and urban services. Camden County is designating the causeway area just across the Pasquotank River from the City of Elizabeth City as a limited transition area. During the previous planning period, the City of Elizabeth City annexed this portion of Camden 1WM L fl F, 2. 3. County including a condominium complex, the Pelican Marina, and the Marina Restaurant along US 158. The Bloodfield Road area in South Mills is also designated a limited transition area. Community The purpose of the community class is to provide for clustered, mixed land uses at low densities to help meet housing, shopping, employment, and other needs. Areas meeting the intent of the community class are presently developed at low densities which are suitable for private septic tank use. These areas are clustered residential and/or commercial land uses which provide both low intensity shopping and housing opportunities and provide a local social sense of "community." Municipal type services such as fire protection and community water may be available, but municipal type sewer systems are not provided. The major characteristic which distinguishes community with limited services from the limited transition class is that services are not provided to stimulate intense development, but rather to neutralize or avert health problems. Lands in this classification provide for a mix of low density housing, shopping, and employment needs and are not serviced by off -site wastewater treatment plants. Single family residential lots dominate this land class in the County. Although developed past the rural stage, this land class is limited in its ability to sustain urban growth by the absence of wastewater treatment. In Camden County, the areas designated as community are all existing crossroads communities that exhibit clustering and all residential subdivisions with 25 or more platted lots. Permitted uses are regulated by the Camden County Zoning Ordinance. Rural This class allows the County to designate areas of agriculture, forestry, mineral extraction, and other uses traditionally associated with agrarian pursuits. Other uses such as industrial uses, airports, sewage treatment - 3 - 4. facilities, and storage tanks are appropriate for this class given proper siting to mitigate potential negative impacts to adjacent uses or the natural environment. Very low density residential uses on large lots with private on -site water and sewer are consistent with the intent of this class and development should be as compatible with resource production as possible. Private septic tanks and wells are the primary on -site services available to support residential development; but fire, rescue, and law enforcement may also be available. Population densities will be very low. The majority of the land in the County falls into the rural class. The rural class includes all areas not included in any other class. Rural With Services The rural with services class is found in most areas of the County. County areas meeting the intent of this class are appropriate for low intensity residential use where lot sizes are large and where service provision will not disrupt the primary rural character of the areas. Private wells and septic tanks exist although public water may become a reality in most of these areas during the planning period. The County is working with and through adjacent local governments and quasi -public agencies such as the South Mills Water Association, Incorporated, to make water available to all areas of the County. The rural with services classification is designed with the recognition that limited residential development may occur and not threaten the agricultural environment with suburban expansion. This class is intended to provide for very low density land uses including residential uses. Other uses such as industrial uses, airports, sewage treatment facilities, and storage tanks are appropriate for this class given proper siting to mitigate potential negative impacts to adjacent uses or the natural environment. Land development in this class should be controlled to insure the maintenance of the County's rural character. - 4 - J 5. Other services such as solid waste/recycling centers, law enforcement, and volunteer fire and rescue are available. The rural with service class is to be applied where the County has provided or intends to provide limited water services. Areas in this class are found along 200 feet on each side of all state maintained roads that are not currently included in another land classification. Conservation The purpose of the conservation class is to provide for effective long-term management and protection of significant, limited, or irreplaceable areas. Management is needed due to the natural, cultural, recreational, scenic, and productive values of these areas, both locally and regionally. The conservation class is designed to illustrate the natural, productive, scenic, cultural, and recreational features of Camden County which make it a desirable place in which to live, work, and visit. As such, the conservation class should be applied to areas that because of their unique, productive, limited, cultural, or natural features, should either not be developed at all (preserved), or if developed, done so in an extremely limited and cautious fashion. Lands in this classification have been identified as retaining significant or irreplaceable natural resources, scenic vistas, recreational sites, or cultural values to such a degree that careful management practices are necessary to insure the long-term viability of those resources. Only carefully planned and managed development is recommended on lands in this class. Urban services, whether public or private, should not be provided in areas in the conservation class so as not to stimulate intense development. Conservation areas include all areas of environmental concern designated by CAMA, all U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' "404 wetlands," all Storm Hazard Areas identified on the Composite Hazard Map, and all areas below the 100-year flood elevation. All land uses that 5&1W 7 can be permitted under the existing regulations of the various state, federal, and local governmental agencies with jurisdiction are , allowed in the conservation district. 7 L rl L 1 II. INTRODUCTION 11 INTRODUCTION The Coastal Area Management Act of program of coastal area management state. Land use planning lies at involvement. Subchapter 7B - Land Carolina Administrative Code, Octo purpose of assisting localities wi and sets forth general standards f 1974 (CAMA) establishes a cooperative between local governments and the the center of local government's Use Planning Guidelines of the North ber 1989, were promulgated for the th the preparation of land use plans or their review. This land use plan, when approved by the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC), will become part of the North Carolina Coastal Management Plan for the protection, preservation, orderly development, and management of the coastal area of North Carolina -- which is the primary objective of CAMA. SOURCE: North Carolina Administrative Code, October 1989. Camden County, North Carolina covers some 240.7 square miles of land and ' is located in northeastern North Carolina about fifteen minutes from the City of Elizabeth City and about fifty minutes from the metropolitan area of Virginia's Hampton Roads. It is bounded by Chesapeake, Virginia ' to North, Gates County, Pasquotank County, and the City of Elizabeth City, North Carolina to the West and South, and by Currituck County, North Carolina on the East and South. Major water bodies surrounding Camden County include the Pasquotank River, the North River, and the ' Albermarle Sound. A large portion of the Great Dismal Swamp occurs in the northern portion of the County. 1 mm � III. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS III. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS A. Establishment of Information Base 1. Introduction This document was prepared utilizing existing local plans and studies as well as information provided by federal, state, regional, local, and private agencies. Policy development and the analysis of anticipated future conditions relied heavily on a review of current land use issues and citizen input. Citizen input was generated through of a citizen survey in 1990-91 and through public forums. 2. 1990-91 Camden Survey Prepared by the Elizabeth City State University Center for Rural and Coastal Living, APPENDIX 1 summarizes the responses generated from the "Camden Survey" conducted in 1990-91. A copy of the survey form is also included. The policies discussed in Chapter IV of this Update are reflective of the responses received from the survey. Similarly, survey results are included in much of the background information prefacing the policies and implementation strategies that Camden County will follow in the planning period 1993-1998. 3. Review of 1986 Camden Land Use Plan Update a. Introduction Rule .0202(a)(3) - Data Collection and Analysis, Subchapter 7B, of the North Carolina Administrative Code, October 1989, requires a locality to ". . analyze how effectively it has implemented its policies as contained in its current plan of record." Further, this evaluation should occur at the beginning of the planning process and "should include statements as to what improvements the local government intends to make in this plan update." SOURCE: North Carolina Administrative Code, October 1989. b. Policies Selected and Implementation Analysis ' In 1988, Camden County adopted several specific policies contained in the 1986 Camden Land Use Plan Update to guide it in land use related matters. Similarly, the County set forth implementation ' strategies by which the adopted policies could be achieved, maintained, and promoted. Specific policies were grouped under several headings. These were: ' -9- C. Areas of Environmental Concern; Continuing Public Participation in Planning Matters; Resource Protection; Resource Production; Economic and Community Development;. and, Storm Hazard Mitigation. The County Planning Board and staff analyzed the County's implementation efforts through 1992. Their findings, summarized in APPENDIX 2, provide the foundation upon which policies driving the 1993 Camden Land Use Plan Update are developed. Comparison of Camden County Land Use Policies to Policies of Neighboring Localities During the policy discussion process, the County compared its 1988 land use policies to those of Pasquotank County, Currituck County, and the City of Elizabeth City as found in their land use plans of record. See APPENDIX 3. Generally, the localities adopted land use policies and goals that were consistent. 11 d. Improvements Anticipated in 1993 Camden County Land 1 Use Plan Update The County has made significant strides in directing its growth and maintaining the quality of service delivery systems. To promote and guide continued orderly development, improvements to the 1993 Camden County Land Use Plan Update include: • USER FRIENDLY FORMATTING; • ESTABLISHMENT OF ACTION DEADLINES WHERE APPLICABLE; • PROMOTION OF SUBSTANTIAL AND MEANINGFUL INTERACTION IN THE CAMDEN COUNTY PLANNING PROCESS BY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES WITH PROGRAMS, REGULATIONS, AND RULES THAT IMPACT THE COUNTY THROUGH INTERAGENCY REVIEW OF THIS UPDATE; AND, • ENCOURAGEMENT OF OPEN REVIEW AND DEBATE OF ISSUES, POLICIES, AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES THROUGH THE USE OF A ROUND TABLE MEETING FORMAT AT PLANNING BOARD MEETINGS DURING PLAN UPDATE. - 10 - 7 I I B. Present Conditions 1. Introduction Using published information and field reviews, the following sections describe Camden County at present and during the recent past. 2. Population During the three decades commencing in 1930, the population of Camden County was somewhat erratic. From 1930 to 1950, the County's population declined, then increased in 1960, only to decline again by the 1970 decennial Census. However, steady, if limited population increases have been recorded commencing with the 1980 count. The population of the County in 1980 was 5,829, a 6.9% increase above the 1970 total of 5,453. The 1990 population grew to 5,904, a 1.3% increase since 1980. The 1990 population of Camden County was comprised of 2,960 males (50.1%) and 2,944 females (49.9%), nearly a 1:1 ratio. The median age was 35.8 years. In 1970 and 1980, those in the population aged 65 years and over totalled 586 and 693 respectively. In 1990, those persons in this age group totalled 829. The age group continues to be one of the fastest growing segment of the County's population, accounting for 14% of the 1990 total. By contrast, persons of 5 to 20 years totalled 1,284 in 1990, while a similar cross-section (5 to 19 years) totalled 1,529 in 1980. TABLE 1 provides a breakdown of the County's 1990 population by age group. AGE GROUP NUMBER Under 5 years - 382 5 to 17 years - 1,053 18 to 20 years - 231 21 to 24 years - 277 25 to 44 years - 1,795 45 to 54 years - 707 55 to 59 years - 329 60 to 64 years - 301 65 to 74 years - 517 75 to 84 years - 256 85 years and over - 56 Total - All Persons - 5,904 SOURCE: U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census.1 The non -white population in the County continues to decline both in numbers and in proportion to total inhabitants. Out -migration is viewed as the cause of this decline and is projected to continue.

The County's population is fairly evenly distributed among its three townships. The South -Mills Township, the top third of the County, has remained consistent both in growth rate and in that it is the home of over one-third of the County's population. The Courthouse Township occupies the middle third of the County and has seen the consistent growth since 1920 -- both in population and in its proportional share of the County's population. The Shiloh Township occupies the southern third of the County and has shown a consistent decline in both population and in its proportional share of the total County population. The South Mills Township is served by public water and U.S. Highway 17. The Courthouse Township is home to the County's government offices and is bisected by U.S. 158/NC 34, a main artery connecting the City of Elizabeth City to points east. Growth in the Shiloh Township is somewhat more limited by soil suitability, the lack of infrastructure, and inferior highway access.

By the year 2020, a population increase of 1.1% above the 2010 population is projected to be 6,251. 3. Economy The economy in Camden County is limited. The largest County tax payer, F.P. Woods and Son, is a locally owned farming operation. In 1987, there were 311 persons employed by 71 ' establishments with a total annual payroll of $3,187,000. While in 1988, 366 persons worked for 82 business ' - 13 - establishments in the County, with a total annual payroll of $3,587,000. According to County Business Patterns 1990 - North Carolina, there were 384 persons employed by 79 business establishments as of March 12, 1990, generating annual payrolls totalling $4,009,000. This figure is up from the 368 persons employed at 85 business establishments through March of 1989, generating payrolls of some $3,793,000. TABLE 5, taken from County Business Patterns 1990 - North Carolina, page 53, provides a detailed account of the types and number of business establishments in the County as well as payroll and employee data.

Individual farming operations carry a Standard Industrial Classification (SIC code) of either 0100 or 0200, while only those industries with a SIC code of 0700 or greater are included in County Business Patterns 1990 - North Carolina. Also, self- employed persons, many of whom work in agricultural pursuits in Camden County, are not included in the publication. SOURCE: Mr. Neal Cotton, County Business Patterns, staff member, interviewed on September 21, 1993. The impact of agriculture in Camden County can be better gauged by figures provided by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture. The Department's Agricultural Statistics Division reports that there were 102 farms in the County as of the 1987 Census of Agriculture conducted by the Department of Commerce. The average farm size was 487 acres in 1987 with about 50,000 acres of land in farms. In 1987, there were 17 cattle farms, 13 beef cow farms, 32 hog farms, and 3 poultry farms while there were 79 corn farms, 45 wheat farms, 85 soybean farms, and 3 hay farms. In 1991, the total farm cash receipts were $14,568,000. SOURCE: North Carolina Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Statistics Division. For its size, Camden County has a significant potential labor force. The potential labor force, those 16 years of age and older, totalled 4,655 in 1990 -- up from 3,628 in 1970 and 4,338 in 1980. Those actually in the labor force in 1990 totalled 2,880 (61.9%) -- again up from 2,201 (60.6%) in 1970 and 2,237 (52.1%) in 1980. Males in the total potential labor force numbered 2,270 (48.8%) in 1990 while 1,683 (74.1%) actually participated in the labor force -- working or seeking employment. Females in the total potential labor force numbered 2,386 (51.2%). While 1,197 (50.2%) were actually working or seeking employment. The labor force must commute to work as opportunities are limited within the County as previously stated. Those actually employed in the civilian labor force in 1990 totalled 2,655, with 192 unemployed and 33 in the armed forces. Persons totalling 1,775 were not in the labor force. Of the actual civilians labor force in 1990, some 2,178 commuted out of the County to work, the majority (1,180) travelling to Pasquotank County. Most County workers (73.2%) travel alone to their place of employment, while nearly a quarter of those employed used carpools. - 15 - TABLE 6 provides a breakdown of occupation.

SOURCES: U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census and County of Camden, North Carolina. "State of the County, 1992." The percentage of persons living below the poverty level in the County in 1989, according to the 1990 Census, was 16.1%. The County supports and administers its services and programs primarily from levies on real estate, given the lack of industrial and economic development. The County has historically collected nearly all taxes levied, averaging a 98% collection rate since 1986. Currently, the County's tax rate is $0.90 of assessed value for real estate and personal property, plus an additional $0.05 fire district tax. Residents of Joyce Creek, a water district in the South Mills Township, pay an additional $0.01 per year. Of the total revenue generated for county operations, real estate taxes and personal property taxes normally account for about 58% and sales taxes for about 29%. In 1993-94, Camden County is expected to receive $1,719,634 from real estate and personal property levies, $225,543 in transfer payments from state and federal sources, $60,000 from the land transfer fund, $500,000 from sales tax collections (part of which is earmarked for the school capitol reserve fund), and $439,370 from other sources. As in the past, the County maintains an unappropriated fund balance of at least eight percent of its general fund expenditures. Historically, the County has expended its revenues in three major areas. On average during the previous planning period, about 31% of the County's general fund budget went for education, about 10% for social services, and about 10% for solid waste. - 17 - 4. Existing Land Use Land use patterns in Camden County reflect the rural nature of the locality. The land area of Camden County is some 240.7 square miles. The water area is some 78 square miles. Approximately half of the County's total area lies in the 100-year flood plain area as designated by FEMA. Over 90% of the land area remains in forest or agricultural land. The County has no incorporated towns or cities. It is sparsely populated, with only 24.5 persons per square mile. Development activity that has taken place in Camden County has been generally concentrated at or near communities such as South Mills, Shiloh, Belcross, and Old Trap, and along U.S. 158 from the City of Elizabeth City to the Camden community. In addition, some clusters of residential development resulted with the creation of subdivisions such as Whitehall Shores, Elizabeth City (Texaco) Beach, Taylors Beach, Treasure Point, and Camden Point Shores during the 1960 to 1980 period. All these subdivisions have some waterfront lots. Whitehall Shores contains approximately 100 homes, while Camden Point Shores has between 75-100 homes. Generally, between 50-75 homes are found in the other three developments. More recently, subdivisions such as Maranatha Island, Piney Acres, and Pine Ridge have been developed. Maranatha Island has some waterfront lots while Pine Ridge and PIney Acres have none. Based on figures taken from the "State of Camden County - 1992" and year end reports for fiscal years 1991-92 and 1992-93 prepared by County staff, some 296 permits for new single family houses were issued from 1987 until June 1993 while 9 permits for commercial/assembly facilities were issued for the same period. During the period, permits for mobile or modular homes totalled some 167. In June 1991, the staff of the North Carolina Department of Economic and Community Development, Division of Community Assistance, prepared an existing land use map based on aerial photographs, field research, and existing maps. The effort identified and located eight land uses which include: • Residential (and Residential Residential -Mobile Home; • Residential -Home Occupation; • Commercial/Office; • Institutional/Governmental; • Farm Business/Grain Bins; Industrial/Mining; and, • Recreational. Under Construction); There are some 1,822 residential and residential under construction units (single family houses) identified on the June 1991 existing land use map. In addition, 63 permits for new units were issued in fiscal year 1991-92 and another F� L �I !J F 1 58 permits were issued in fiscal year 1992-93, making the total residential units counted (existing or under construction) 1,943. Generally, residential land use is found along state maintained roads, and in the developments and areas discussed above. There are some 487 residential mobile or modular home units identified on the June 1991 existing land use map. In addition, in fiscal years 1991-92 and 1992-93, respectively, 38 and 24 permits were issued for mobile or modular home units. Mobile or modular homes are located throughout the County. There are some 13 residential -home occupation units in the County and as many as 115 commercial/office units. Institutional/governmental units total 54 while farm business/grain bins, industrial/mining, and recreational facilities numbered 17, 7, and 4, respectively. MAP 1 represents generally the land uses identified on the June 1991 existing land use map prepared by the Division of Community Assistance, on file in the County Manager's Office. Problems resulting from unplanned growth have historically involved the platting and development of subdivisions on unsuitable soils, construction in the flood plain, and the lack of publicly controlled water accesses in the County. The County has taken steps to stop unplanned growth; most notably the adoption and enforcement of zoning and subdivision regulations and by cooperating with local, state, regional, and federal regulatory agencies. The County also has a professional staff and participates in the regular phase of the Federal Flood Insurance Program. The County realizes the need for public water accesses as discussed later in this Update. Future development is expected to continue to occur in and around existing crossroad communities, in subdivision developments along the Pasquotank River shore, and along the U.S. 158/NC 34 causeway leading out of the City of Elizabeth City. Development at the crossroad communities and in the waterfront subdivisions is expected to be primarily single- family residential. Existing development along the causeway is primarily commercial, and until recently, was limited because of severe soil limitations regarding septic tank usage. Such limitations restricted the size of developments and also restricted usage to commercial units with a limited water usage. The City of Elizabeth City's extension of public sewer and water service across the Pasquotank River now serves establishments on the causeway. The availability of these services may permit development to occur at much greater densities than now exist. - 19 - 5. Rp 7. Community Facilities Adequate community facilities exist to meet the current ' needs of Camden County. However, significant proposed development, such as heavy industrial, would potentially ' overtax some County and private systems or be discouraged by the lack of extra capacity. Key community facilities are discussed in greater detail in this Chapter at Section B, number 10, pages 22 through 25 and in Section C, pages 27 ' through 28. Transportation The current transportation system needs of Camden County are being met or have been planned for by the North Carolina ' Department of Transportation. Currently, there are a total of 201.57 miles of state maintained streets and roads in Camden County. Of this ' total, 157.24 miles (78%) were paved as of January 1, 1992 - - with only 44.33 miles (22%) remaining unpaved. There are 46.44 miles of primary roads in the County, comprising US ' 158, US 17, NC 343, and NC 34. The County and Department of Transportation officials meet annually to develop a secondary roads improvement program. ' The projects included in the secondary program generally consist of grading, drainage work, base development, and paving. Normally, twenty secondary road projects -- ten in the subdivision category and ten in the rural category -- I are locked in for improvements as rights -of -way and funding become available. ' Primary projects effecting the County are currently included in the Department of Transportation's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). These include the widening of US ' 158/NC 34 from the City of Elizabeth City to the Belcross area and the widening of US 158 from a point west of SR 1204 to NC 168. Both of these are intrastate projects. The US 17 Bypass project is pending an environmental impact ' statement. Housing and Accommodations ' There are approximately 1,943 single family houses in the County. This figure is down from the 2,147 single family houses reported in 1980. It is also down from the 2,022 ' surveyed in 1985. There are 549 mobile or modular home residences in Camden County according to the recent land use analysis. This figure marks an increase from the 303 units ' reported in 1980. It is also an increase from the 304 surveyed in 1985. Generally, the private sector adequately meets the present housing and accommodations needs of the I citizens of Camden County. � 20 91 11 Ll The 1990 Census of Population and Housing. Summary Population and Housing Characteristics - North Carolina by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Economics and Statistics Administration, Bureau of the Census, provides various characteristics of the 2,466 housing units listed for Camden County as of 1990. Of this figure, 286 units were vacant. Of the 2,466 units, listed in 1990, 1,171 (48%) had been built since 1970, 688 (28%) since 1950, and 607 (24%) since 1939 or before. Of the total units, 1,280 (52%), had three bedrooms while 383 (15%) had 4 or more bedrooms. Only 156 (6%) units lacked complete plumbing facilities while only 94 (4%) lacked complete kitchen facilities. Some 1,606 units (65%) relied on individual drilled wells for water, 587 (24%) relied on a public system or private company, and 273 (11%) relied on dug wells or other means. Some 170 units (7%) relied on public sewers or other means for sewage disposal, while 2,296 (93%) relied on septic tanks or cesspools. Land Use Regulations and Documents a. Introduction Camden County uses the police power vested in the Board of Commissioners to enforce a number of land use regulations. The County also maintains a professional staff to administer these and relies on various advisory groups to develop plans and to make recommendations to the Board of Commissioners concerning land use and growth management. b. National Flood Insurance - Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance - Regular Phase Camden County is participating in the regular phase of the National Flood Insurance Program and enforces the regulations required by this program. The County uses the Flood Insurance Rate Maps provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and imposes specific construction standards in flood hazard areas. The ground floor of all dwellings must be higher than the 100-year flood elevation. SOURCE: 1986 Camden Land Use Plan Update. C. Camden County Housing Code The County adopted the Camden County Housing Code on May 15, 1989. These regulations are intended to protect the health, safety, and welfare of County residents through the establishment of minimum standards. Fitness standards are set for the initial and continued occupancy of all habitable dwellings and for the continued existence of abandoned structures as expressly authorized by North Carolina General Statutes 160A-444. 11 - 21 - d. e. f. ' Camden County Subdivision Regulations The County adopted its current subdivision regulations in 1990. The regulations guide the subdivision of land in the County and are designed to coordinate the development of planned public facilities with existing public facilities and thereby facilitate the.adequate ' provision of water, sewage, parks, schools, and playgrounds to serve the citizens of Camden County. The ordinance also addresses resubdivision. In part, ' the ordinance re-enacts portions of the Camden County Subdivision Regulations, 1972. Camden County Zoning Ordinance ' In 1972, the County adopted its initial zoning ordinance. Land use zones were established in general ' conformance with the Sketch Development Plan: Camden County, also adopted in 1972. Since then, the ordinance has been amended on several occasions. Currently, the ordinance divides the County into six ' zoning districts. These are: • Agricultural Open Space (A-0); ' • Residential -Agricultural (RA-20); s Residential-Agricultural/Manufactured Homes (RA-20/MH); ' • Highway Commercial (HC); • Industrial (I); and, • Residential-Agricultural/Home Based , Fishing (RA-20/HBF). The zoning ordinance is currently being reviewed and rewritten by the Planning Board with assistance from ' the North Carolina Department of Economic and Community Development, Division of Community Assistance. The Planning Board will complete its work ' in 1993 and make recommendations to the Board of Commissioners. North Carolina Building Code , In July 1982, the County began to enforce all elements of the North Carolina Building Code. The Code , regulates all new construction, and the installation of electrical, plumbing, and mechanical services. It also regulates mobile home installations. ' Construction and mobile home installation standards for areas in the 100 mile per hour wind velocity zone, as specified by the Code, are enforced throughout the County. , SOURCE: 1986 Camden Land Use Plan Update. ' 9• Septic tic Tank Regulations ' The District Health Department enforces regulations (Title 10 of the North Carolina Administrative Code) which control development density in Camden County. The regulations establish minimum lot sizes and ' permissable soil conditions for the-insta4ation of on -site sewage disposal systems of less than 3,000 ' gallons. The minimum lot size for septic tank approval in the County is 15,000 square feet for lots served by public water and 20,000 square feet for those using on -site water supplies. These standards are county -wide minimums and are contingent on certain soil conditions and the drainage characteristics of the building site. SOURCE: 1986 Camden Land Use Plan Update. h. 1986 Camden Land Use Plan Update ' The 1986 Update, approved by the Coastal Resources Commission on July 29, 1988, has served as the County's chief planning document -- identifying land ' use and development issues, establishing policies concerning these issues, and setting forth ' implementation strategies. i. Soil Survey of Camden County North Carolina, (Unpublished) ' In 1985-86, the United States Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service, in cooperation ' with the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service, North Carolina Agricultural Extension Service, North Carolina Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, and the Camden County Board of ' Commissioners, conducted a county -wide soil survey. The report, as yet unpublished by the Department of Agriculture, has been a useful tool in the County. The soils and their locations and a discussion of the suitability, limitations, and management of the soils for specified uses is provided in the report. The ' report is on file in the Camden County Manager's Office. Part 9, b, (2), which follows, discusses the soils in the County in more detail. A table of soil types and selected characteristics is included as ' TABLE 9. 9. Constraints, Land Suitability ' a. Introduction Field reviews, technical documents, maps, and ' inventories aided in the analysis of the general suitability of undeveloped lands in Camden County. This analysis considers man-made and natural hazard ' areas, soil limitations, water supply, slope ' -23- b. ' characteristics, areas of environmental concern (AEC), and areas with resource potential. Physical Limitations for Development ' (1) Man -Made and Natural Hazard Areas In Camden County, the most prevalent man-made vehicular and pedestrian movement hazards are those associated within the county -wide ' transportation system. As with most agrarian communities, the County's man-made hazards also include depots for fuel, chemicals, fertilizers, and grains. ' Flooding is the most common natural hazard faced by the County given that approximately 50% of ' the County is within the 100-year flood plain. (2) Areas with Soil Limitations ' The "Camden County North Carolina Soil Survey" (unpublished) was prepared in 1985-86 by the United States Department of Agriculture, Soil ' Conservation Service. The report and detailed maps are on file in the County Manager's Office. The report lists twenty-six kinds of soils found in Camden County. TABLE 9, found on pages 19 , and 20 of this Update, lists the soil types in the County and some characteristics relative to their suitability for building construction ' purposes. The general locations of the soil types are mapped in the "Survey." However, the soils in all areas of the County have ' limitations and site by site analysis is necessary for development proposals. The major limiting factor of the soils in the ' County is their depth to water table. Generally, the depth to the seasonally high water table ranges from 0 to 60 inches but is in most cases, ' less than 30 inches. In most of the County, it reaches to or within 1.0 and 1.5 inches of the surface. This characteristic limits the soils' ' absorptive capacity for septic tank drainfield usage, its load bearing capacity, and agricultural productivity due to moisture saturation in the root layers of the soil. ' The Great Dismal Swamp, a prime example of a flat pocosin, is located in the northern end of , the County. There are wooded swamp areas lying in the floodplains of the Pasquotank and North Rivers and their major tributaries. 1 - 24 - rQ L71 7dCharats,Soil yNOrt'fi Carolina# _: ..... : ...._ SOILS' BUILDING SITE DEVELOPMENT' SANITARY FACILITIES' SOIL AND WATER FEATURES' Soil name Dwellings Dwellings Small Local roads Septic tank absorption Sewage Trench sanitary Area sanitary water Flooding and map symbol Shallow excavations without basements with basements commercial buildings and streets fields lagoon areas landfill landfill table ble depth a Months Frequency 2a.............

I (3) (4) Water Supply Sources; Estimated Quality and Quantity Water is the most noticeable and abundant natural resource in Northeastern North Carolina. While massively abundant and economically important, these resources for the most part are salty and hence unusable for consumption. Except in a few cases, the water used by area residents comes from ground supplies. Generally, the ground water supplies are as extensive as the surface waters. Three stratified aquifers underlie much of the region and contain massive quantities of water. These groundwater resources, while ample, suffer in usability because of their direct interface with the saltwater in the area and its frequent intrusion into these groundwater supplies. The intrusion of saltwater into these underground aquifers is a major concern in Camden County. SOURCE: 1986 Camden Land Use Plan Update. The Northeast Albemarle Water Availability Study, currently being conducted by the North Carolina Division of Water Resources, will analyze available quantities of groundwater and surface water supplies and make projections of the future growth that can be accomodated by existing supplies. See also the discussion of existing water and sewer service areas later in this chapter and see also Chapter IV, B., 4, page 36 for discussion of water supply issues. Areas Where Predominant Slope Exceeds Twelve Percent The topography of Camden County can be described as low and flat. Slopes in the County are generally less than 5% and seldom exceed 12% except for the banks of drainage ditches. Elevations in the County are generally less than 15 feet above mean sea level. The highest elevation, 17 feet above sea level, occurs in the north central portion of the County. Generally, the County slopes from north to south and from its center out to the Pasquotank and North Rivers. The Pasquotank River, along the western edge of the County and the North River, along the eastern edge, provide drainage for the County -- except in cases where a few, short streams empty directly into the Albemarle Sound. - 27 - C. Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) and Fragile Areas I d. For the twenty coastal counties included in the CAMA, four categories of environmental concerns have been designated by the CRC. These include: • the Ocean Hazard System; • the Estuarine System; • Public Water Supplies; and, • Natural and Cultural Resources Areas. Of these, the Estuarine System applies to Camden County. This category consists of four components, all of which are present in Camden County. These components, designated as areas of environmental concern (AEC), include coastal wetlands, estuarine waters, estuarine shorelines, and public trust waters. Coastal wetlands, estuarine waters, estuarine shorelines, and public trust waters are discussed in Chapter IV, Section B, 2, page 31. Cultural and historic resources, including scenic sites such as the Great Dismal Swamp, are discussed in Chapter IV, Section B, 3, b., page 34. Areas of important wildlife habitat are also discussed in Chapter IV, Section C, 3, page 43. Areas With Resource Potential See Chapter IV, Section C, Resource Production and Management Issues, for discussion of areas with resource potential in Camden County. 10. Constraints, Carrying Capacity Analysis a. R1 Introduction The rural, agrarian heritage of Camden County has not fostered the development of extensive community facilities and services. To anticipate future demand and to identify existing deficiencies, existing facilities and services are examined. These include water and sewer service areas, solid waste, schools, law enforcement, fire and rescue, transportation, electric power, telecommunications, and recreational facilities. Existing Water and Sewer Service Areas The South Mills Water Association, Incorporated, serves approximately 1,330 customers, of which some 675 are in Camden County -- the balance in Pasquotank County. The system serves about 80% of the land area in the South Mills Township and roughly 85% of its population. Areas around the system's service area that are not served include fourteen residences near the North Carolina/Virginia border, eight residences 7 - 28 - in the South Mills Shores development, and about twenty residences along isolated, unimproved roads. The Association's system is owned by its members who are themselves the homeowners served. Membership gives voting rights toward the election of Association leadership. The customers of the Association pay $15.00 per month for the first two thousand gallons of water used and $3.00 for each one thousand gallons thereafter. Currently, the water system is served by thirteen wells with two additional wells completed and awaiting state approval. Also, on -going improvements will rectify a tri-halo methane (THM) problem at the plant by the end of 1993. Machelhe Island is a part of the City of Elizabeth City and the City is obligated to provide water and sewer service. The South Camden Water and Sewer District's water 1 system will serve all of the Shiloh Township and a portion of the Courthouse Township. This system will be served with water purchased from the City of Elizabeth City. A signed contract, dated July 1, ' 1991, guarantees the County the right to purchase 4.5 million gallons per month -- more than enough for the 850 customers that have signed up to be a part of the ' system. Initial estimates indicate that a total of 1,053 users could be served eventually. ' After completion of the South Camden Water and Sewer District's water system project, discussions will likely focus on securing funding for the wells, plant, and distribution facilities that will be necessary to ' serve the entire Courthouse Township. The South Mills Water Association, Incorporated will be contracted to perform administrative and ' maintenance functions for the South Camden Water System. ' A vast majority of County residents rely on private septic tank systems for sewage disposal. Existing package treatment plants in the County are few in number and serve primarily restaurants and mobile home ' parks. Currently, bids are being received to construct a package treatment plant to serve an area ' along Bloodfield Road. C. Design Capacity of Community Facilities; Utilization and Remaining Capacity tAt present, most community facilities or planned improvements thereto, generally appear to be adequate ' to meet existing demands. ' -29- Throughout the planning period, the solid waste needs of Camden County will be met by existing systems and agreements. The County will continue to operate three waste recycling/waste collection convenience centers located on publicly controlled land in the South Mills Township, the Shiloh Township, and at the Courthouse complex. Currently, the County collects -waste from these centers for disposal in the Pasquotank County landfill. During the previous planning period, the County made great strides in consolidating and economizing its solid waste system. The County converted from a county -wide door to door collection system to a system revolving around three recycling/convenience centers. The centers, located in the Shiloh Township, the South Mills Township, and at the Courthouse, cost a total of $52,000 to develop. Their impact has been largely responsible for reducing the County's solid waste budget in fiscal year 1990-1991, some $269,800, to $190,672 in fiscal year 1992-1993. Public education programs have contributed to the fact that an average, 28% of those persons using the recycling/convenience centers recycle at least some of their waste. In turn, this and other factors have helped to reduce the amount of waste taken to the Pasquotank County landfill; in 1992, by over one-half million pounds. The Pasquotank County landfill is slated to close in either October 1993 or April 1994, depending upon the ruling of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency. Camden County has contracted with Pasquotank County to receive solid waste at a transfer station commencing October 1, 1993. The waste will then be hauled to a new landfill site in Bertie County that is to be operated by Addington Industries, Incorporated. The cost to Camden County will be $47.25 per ton. The County continues to lease containers from Waste Industries, Incorporated in which it collects glassware and newspapers for recycling. The County delivers plastic and cardboard wastes to Waste Industries while aluminum and batteries are taken to The Hen House in South Mills. The County hauls waste tires to the Southeastern Public Service Authority's Suffolk, Virginia facility. The Camden County School System operates three separate schools. All three are located in the Courthouse Township approximately in the center of the County and near the US 158 and NC 343 intersection. All facilities are approximately 30 to 35 years old and in average condition. Total system enrollment in 1992-93 was 1,088 with 318 students at Camden High School, 438 students at Camden Middle School, and 332 students at Grandy Primary School. According to the Camden County Board of - 30 - ' Education, the design capacity of the three facilities totals 1,463 and breaks down as follows: ' • Camden County High School - 508 Total (16 classrooms x 25 students; ' 2 business classrooms x 22 students; 1 agriculture classroom x 24 students; and, 2 home economics classrooms x 20 students) • Camden Middle School - 585 Total (23 classrooms x 25 students + 10 TMH students) • Grandy Primary School - 375 Total t (15 classrooms x 25 students) ' Enrollment is not likely to increase dramatically during the planning period. Law enforcement in Camden County is provided by the Camden County Sheriff's Department which consists of ' the sheriff and four certified deputies. One of the deputies works primarily in the office and in the community conducting drug and crime awareness ' programs. Law enforcement calls are dispatched through a central communications center located in Pasquotank County. Law enforcement personnel in the ' County is accessed by dialing 9-1-1. Emergency response to fire emergencies is provided by the South Mills Volunteer Fire Department, ' Incorporated and the South Camden Fire Department, Incorporated. Both are staffed by volunteers and can be accessed by dialing 9-1-1 through the central communication center in Pasquotank County. Rescue response is provided by the Pasquotank/Camden ' Rescue Squad which is staffed by paid personnel during the daytime and volunteers during evenings. Dialing 9-1-1 accesses rescue response in Camden County. ' The North Carolina Department of Transportation maintains the roads and streets in Camden County and, as previously noted, routinely develops plans for ' system maintenance, improvements, and expansion. The Albermarle Electric Membership Corporation provides electric service to the northern portion of ' the County. Electric service to the balance of the County is provided by North Carolina Power. ' Telecommunications are provided to the County by Carolina Telephone Company. ' Public recreational facilities in the County are limited. School grounds are used for some organized league play. Recreational fishing is widespread ' although public water access is extremely limited. - 31 - C. Estimated Demand 1. Introduction 2. 3. 4. It is anticipated that future demands during the planning period will be adequately met by the County or through state and federal programs administered by their respective agencies. The County intends to re -double efforts to promote itself, so as to attract businesses and environmentally compatible, light industry. But it must be cognizant of the fact that any growth that may occur --' whether residential, commercial, or industrial -- must occur within the limitations discussed in this Update. Population By the year 2000, the County's population is expected to reach 6,070 persons -- a 2.8% increase from the 5,904 persons recorded in the 1990 Census. This increase could be affected somewhat if the County is successful in attracting business and environmentally compatible, light industry during the planning period. However, it is likely that the increase expected during the planning period will not be dramatic as the County must first gear itself toward economic and industrial recruitment and retention. Projections place the 2010 population at 6,180 persons while the projected 2020 population will be 6,251 persons. Local Objectives Concerning Growth A limited or slow growth rate is still preferred and anticipated in the County. However, significant support for the promotion of local commercial businesses, clean, taxpaying industries, and the encouragement of more homeowners were viewed favorably in the 1990-91 "Camden Survey." While not reflective of a total change in the growth objectives predominant in the County in past decades, the attitudes revealed in these survey results may provide the initiative necessary to focus more on the recruitment and retention of commercial and industrial concerns. Economy; Anticipated Social and Economic Changes During the planning period, it is anticipated that more emphasis and energy will be devoted toward analyzing and addressing the County's needs with respect to the recruitment and retention of commercial and industrial development. In the short term at least, and perhaps throughout the planning period, the County will continue to rely on agriculture related pursuits and government employment as the predominant in -county sources of livelihood and will continue to export workers to neighboring localities and states. L�I - 32 - ' 5. Future Land Need ' The predominant land use in the County will continue to be agriculture related. There is sufficient vacant land to meet the demands anticipated for the planning period. However, the suitability of soils for septic tank use could ' constrain the amount and location of future gro►JLh. 6. Community Facilities Demand ' As explained earlier in this Chapter, water facilities improvements are on -going. Currently, there are no plans to construct a community or public sewer system in Camden ' County. ' With respect to the estimated demand on the County's solid waste system, the contractual agreement described previously will adequately meet the anticipated needs of the planning period and beyond. ' On November 24, 1992, the County adopted a study entitled "Educational Growth Plan for Camden County Educational System" by Hager Smith Design, PA. The study is on file in the Offices of the Camden County School Superintendent. The study envisions a $35 million educational village in Camden County. The "community school" concept would allow the ' school system and general public to benefit from shared facilities -- utilized year round. The study envisions one story learning pavilions, elder care, day care, vocational training, and recreational facilities in a campus layout. ' While population growth in the County is expected to remain slight or be incremental rather than sudden and dramatic, ' the campus plan envisioned should accommodate or could be made to accommodate virtually any scenario and could attract economic and industrial development interest. Demands that may be placed on law enforcement, fire and rescue, electric power, and telecommunications are not anticipated to outweigh existing capacities. ' 7. Transportation The demands placed on the transportation system during the planning period may become more problematic if the County is successful in promoting business and light industrial development. In any case, continued cooperation between the County and the North Carolina Department of Transportation will be necessary. Planned system improvements, both at the local and interjurisdictional level, must be accelerated -- particularly the hard surfacing of secondary roads. In this regard, greater emphasis must be placed on efforts to acquire right-of-way for secondary road system projects so that delayed projects can be completed and others started. ' Attention must be paid to questions of routing and alignment for interjurisdictional road system projects -- particularly as impediments to or accelerators of, economic and industrial growth. Recently, the County is on record ' opposing the proposed U.S. 17 Bypass of the City of ' -33- Elizabeth City. Conversely, it supports the widening of ' U.S. 158/34 from the City of Elizabeth City to the Belcross area and the widening of U.S. 158 beyond SR 1204 to NC 168. ' 8. Housing and Accommodations The demand for housing and accommodations antic gated for , the planning period will be met by existing stock and private initiative based upon market demands and the ability to install and maintain septic systems. ' F -34- IV. LAND USE ISSUES, BACKGROUND, POLICIES, AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES IIV. LAND USE ISSUES, BACKGROUND, POLICIES, AND IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES ' A. Introduction Statements of local policy on land use issues which will affect ' Camden County during the next five years follow. The issues have been grouped under five general headings. These are:___.. • Resource Protection Issues; ' • Resource Production and Management Issues; • Economic and Community Development Issues; • Continuing Public Participation; and, • Natural Hazards Planning. Following generally the guidelines set forth in part .0203 Policy Statements, as found in Section .0200 - Land Use Plan, of ' Subchapter 7B-Land Use Planning Guidelines of the North Carolina Administrative Code, October 1989, the County considered various policy alternatives and implementation strategies before ' selecting the several policies that follow. The County considers some issues, normally associated with resource protection, not applicable or relevant at this time. ' Such issues, not addressed in this Update, include: • Outstanding Resource Waters; ' • Maritime Forest; • Shellfising Waters; and, • Development of Sound and Estuarine System Islands. ' It is noted that only one island, Goat Island, which is bisected by Pasquotank and Camden Counties, has development potential. The County considers some issues, normally associated with resource production and management, not applicable or relevant at ' this time. Such issues, not addressed in this Update, include: • Off Road Vehicles, and, • Peat or Phospate Mining's Impact on Any Resource. ' "Residential Further, issues related to and Commercial Land Development" and "Development Impacts on Any Resources" are discussed as a part of the issue "Types of Growth Patterns ' Desired," found in this chapter, Section D, page 47. ' Three economic and community development issues are not considered applicable or relevant at this time. The issues, not addressed in this Update, include: ' • Dredging; • Port and Military Facilities; and, • Channel Maintenance and Beach Nourishment. The issue of "Community Attitudes Concerning Residential, Commercial, Industrial, and Institutional Development" is ' discussed in this chapter, Section D, page 47 as a part of the issue "Types of Growth Patterns Desired." Similarly, the -35- "Consideration of a Cost -Benefit Analysis of Redevelopment of Older Areas, New Subdivision, or Industrial Parks" was discussed by the Planning Board and reflected in this chapter, Section D, page 46. B. Resource Protection Issues 1. Constraints to Development -- Soil Suitability and Septic Tank Use BACKGROUND The County, through its Code Enforcement Officer/Building Inspector, enforced the provisions of the North Carolina Building Code concerning construction on soils with limitations. Also, the County has coordinated its subdivision permitting process with local representatives of the United States Soil Conservation Service (SCS) and sought assistance for proper soils management. State erosion control standards, for construction projects that cleared, altered, or excavated land in excess of one acre, have been supported. From a development standpoint, the lack of community water and wastewater facilities and farm run-off continue to be concerns since most soils in the County have been determined to be unsuitable for septic tank systems. All the major soil associations in Camden County have limitations to development; the principal limitations being either shallow depth to water table or frequent flooding. During the previous planning period, permits were required for all septic systems installed. Through the District Health Department, a management entity for subdivision development was created to promote the use of more environmentally sound waste disposal methods. In this way, monies are applied to a fund yearly on a lot by lot basis. Funds are used to defray the costs of monitoring and testing systems by the District Health Department and to ensure that systems remain in an acceptable state of repair. The County has obtained a Community Development Block Grant; of which, $324,000 is earmarked for sewer related improvements. Bids will be received and a contract awarded to construct a package treatment plant to serve an area along Bloodfield Road in 1994. The plant will serve several dwellings that have previously relied on pit privies or failing septic tank systems. Currently, the County is compiling data to submit with a grant application for funds for wastewater facilities in the South Mills Township. Some investigation of the possibility of providing wastewater treatment facilities in Camden Point Shores occurred during the previous planning period. The District Health Department continues to investigate alternative waste disposal methods for Camden Point Shores. L�� -36- l� POLICY ' The County supports the installation and use of properly permitted septic tank systems and the enforcement of ' District Health Department regulations and local development regulations regarding lot sizes and waste.disposal.system placement. ' IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will enforce its development regulations and rely on the District Health Department with respect to the proper installation and use of septic tank systems. The County will also encourage the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources to investigate ' the feasibility of using alternative waste processing systems such as flushless toilets, incineration, and artificial wetlands in areas with severe soil limitations. ' 2. Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) -- Coastal Wetlands, Estuarine Waters, Estuarine Shorelines, and Public Trust ' Waters BACKGROUND ' Under the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA), North Carolina's Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) has designated a number of areas of environmental concern (AEC) in order to ' protect the state's valuable natural resources. Four types of AEC's are found in Camden County. Coastal Wetlands The coastal wetland AEC includes any salt marsh or other marsh subject to regular or occasional flooding by tides, whether or not the tidal waters reach the wetlands through natural or articifical watercourses. Coastal wetlands are important because they prodcue nutrients which serve as the primary food source for ' various species of fish and shellfish. The dense vegetation and root networks of the coastal wetlands also help retard shoreline erosion and trap sediments ' before they reach the estuarine waters. In Camden County, coastal wetlands normally occur near the mouths of tributaries emptying into the estuarine ' waters of the Pasquotank River, the Albemarle Sound, and the North River. Potential threats to coastal ' wetlands are primarily due to surface run-off associated with agriculture, forestry, and residential uses. P, - 37 - • The County supported the efforts of the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Coastal Management and the Coastal Resources Commission and relied on the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) permitting process to regulate development in coastal wetlands.. — Estuarine Waters The estuarine waters AEC includes all waters of the State's bays, sounds, and streams seaward of the dividing line between coastal and inland fishing waters. The County recognizes the extreme vulnerability of estuarine waters. In Camden County, the Pasquotank River is declared estuarine from the Norfolk Southern Railroad bridge near the City of Elizabeth City to the Albemarle Sound. The North River is estuarine throughout the County. Surface run-off, septic tank leakage, and liquid waste discharges pose the greatest threats to the estuarine waters. Of these, agricultural run-off poses the greatest threat due to the scope of these activities in Camden County. The County supported the efforts of the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Coastal Management and the Coastal Resources Commission and relied on the CAMA permitting process to regulate development in these areas. • Estuarine Shorelines I The estuarine shorelines AEC covers non -ocean shorelines, which are typically subject to erosion, flooding, and other adverse effects of wind and water. Although estuarine shorelines are typically dry land, their proximity to estuarine waters cause them to be considered as connected to the estuary. Development along the estuarine shorelines can have a strong effect on the quality of estuarine waters, coastal wetlands, and their ability to sustain their economic and biological productivity. As defined by the CRC, the estuarine shorelines AEC extends from the mean high water level (or normal water level) along the estuarine waters AEC to a line 75 feet landward. In Camden County, the estuarine shorelines extend continuously from the Norfolk Southern Railroad bridge near the City of Elizabeth City, south around Camden Point and north along the entire length of the North River. The greatest threats to the natural estuarine shorelines in Camden County are improper bulkheading activities. - 38 - The County supported the efforts of the Division of ' Coastal Management and Coastal Resources Commission and relied on the CAMA permitting process to regulate development in this area. ' • Public Trust Waters The public trust waters AEC are all waters and submerged lands in the twenty county coastal region where the public has rights of use, including rights of navigation and recreation. Specifically, these ' waters include: • all waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the lands thereunder from the mean high water mark to the seaward limit of state jurisdiction; • all natural bodies of water subject to measurable lunar tides, and all lands thereunder to the mean high water mark; • all navigable natural bodies of water, and all lands thereunder, except privately owned lakes to which the public has no right of access; • all water in artificially created bodies of water containing significant public fishing resources or other public resources which are accessible to the public by navigation from bodies of water in which the public has navigation rights; and, all waters in artificially created bodies of ' water in which the public has acquired rights by prescription, custom, usage, dedication, or any ' other means. POLICY The County supports the guidelines of the Coastal Area Management Act and the efforts and programs of the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Coastal Management and the Coastal Resources Commission to protect the coastal wetlands, estuarine waters, estuarine shorelines, and public trust waters of Camden County. ' It also supports the use of best management practices recommendations of the United States Soil Conservation Service. STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION The County will rely on the North Carolina Department ' of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Coastal Management, to regulate development in coastal wetlands and along estuarine ' shorelines and to protect estuarine waters through the CAMA permitting process. Also, it will rely on the regulations of other state and federal agencies with -39- regulatory authority, as well as on existing local development regulations to mitigate threats to AEC's. 3. Hazardous or Fragile Areas a. Freshwater Swamps, Marshes, and 404 Wetlan s.. BACKGROUND In Camden County, swamp and marsh cover 40% of the land area. These areas are covered under existing CAMA or U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulations. The primary federal regulation concerning these areas is Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Wooded swamps were designated as Conservation Areas on the Land Classification Map in the 1986 Camden Land Use Plan Update and their uses restricted to those of Coastal Wetlands. In an effort to protect and preserve the integrity of the swamp ecological function, the County has acquired two parcels along the Camden Causeway containing wetlands and is working to acquire additional parcels. The Board of Commissioners appointed an Environmental Advisory Committee to address issues of concern related to environmentally sensitive areas and to make recommendations to the Commissioners. In addition, the United States Army Corps of Engineers, North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, and District Health Department were among the agencies that assisted the County throughout the planning period. POLICY The County supports the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulations and the applicable guidelines of the Coastal Area Management Act and the use of local land use ordinances to regulate development in these areas. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will monitor development proposals for compliance with Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and will continue to enforce local land use ordinances. b. Cultural and Historic Resources BACKGROUND Six sites in Camden County are presently listed on the National Register of Historic Places. These include: Caleb Grundy House; Camden County Courthouse; Milford; MII= I William Riley Abbott House; ' Lamb-Ferebee House; and, Camden County Jail. ' More than a dozen additional sites are potential candidates for nomination. However, during -the previous planning period, no additional sites were listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The County did not seek a grant for a complete inventory of historically significant structures and sites and did not encourage a county -wide survey of historical sites by the local Historical Society. The County has been unsuccessful in receiving grant monies to renovate the Camden County Courthouse. The Great Dismal Swamp is a unique portion of the County's landscape that is of historic and national significance. The Dismal Swamp Canal Visitor/Welcome ' Center, opened in 1989. The Center, which is in the swamp, is a means to use the unique character of the swamp as a promotional tool for economic development ' and tourism in Camden County. See Section D, policy 7, page 50. 1 POLICY The County supports local, state, and federal efforts to protect historic properties within its borders and to perpetuate its cultural heritage. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will guide development so as to protect historic and potentially historic properties in Camden County and to perpetuate the County's cultural heritage. It will also encourage a county -wide survey of historical sites by local volunteers or state and federal agencies and will seek grant monies within the next two years for the complete inventory of historically significant structures and sites. C. Man -Made Hazards BACKGROUND The most prevalent man-made hazards in the County are those associated with vehicularand pedestrian movement within the county -wide transportation system. Man-made hazards also include depots for fuel, chemicals, fertilizers, and grains. - 41 - POLICY 4. The County supports local, state, and federal efforts to minimize the adverse impact of man-made hazards within its borders. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will utilize its developmen Protection of Potable Water Supply BACKGROUND t Protection of potable water supplies is of critical concern in Camden County. Fresh water supplies occupy a very narrow stratum of the water table aquifer. Strict control and management of water resources is essential. Leakage from improperly placed or poorly constructed septic systems in less than minimum sized lots creates a serious threat to water resources. A number of older neighborhoods, built before there were minimum lot sizes requirements, are served by septic systems with inadequate drain field area. The County now requires minimum lot sizes ranging from 20,000 to 40,000 square feet depending upon soil characteristics, as determined by the District Health Department. Also, the County is currently investigating a wastewater treatment plant to serve the South Mills Village vicinity. Like other North Carolina localities, Camden County is required by the Water Supply/Watershed Protection Act to complete and submit for State approval, a Water Supply/Watershed Protection Ordinance, related mapping, and - a management plan in the next several months. The Northeast Albemarle Water Availability Study, discussed on page 21, will provide the County with helpful data concerning its water resources. The County adopted the Ordinance for Inspection Fees Pertaining to Flammable and Combustible Storage Containers. (Fuel Tank Inspection Ordinance), on December 2, 1991 to mitigate potential problems associated with the installation and removal of fuel tanks. Enforcement of these regulations could be enhanced with additional personnel. The County adopted the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance on November 18, 1991. - 42 - l� POLICY The County supports the protection of its potable water supply and the strict enforcement of lot size requirements ' and septic tank regulations. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will strictly enforce lot size requirements and rely on the District Health Department to oversee and regulate septic tank installation and operation. The County will consider seeking financial assistance from state and federal agencies to construct sewage facilities to correct critical sewage disposal problems. The County will prepare ' and adopt an ordinance and management plan as required by the Water Supply/Watershed Protection Act in 1993-94. 5. Package Treatment Plants BACKGROUND County ordinances permit development using package treatment ' plants. At present, there are only a few plants operating in the County -- mainly serving restaurant operations and mobile home parks. The maintenance and operation of these ' plants are monitored by the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management. There are a number of high density, low-income residential neighborhoods with severe septic tank problems ' that could benefit from a community package treatment plant. ' The County is currently rewriting its zoning regulations. Planned Unit Developments (PUD) and similar, higher density developments, may be considered at a later date -- which would make the use of package treatment systems more ' appealing. POLICY ' The County supports the use of properly permitted and maintained package sewage treatment plants within its borders. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY ' The County will rely on the Division of Environmental Management to oversee the operation and management of all package treatment plants in the County. ' The County will support investigations by the District Health Department and North Carolina State University concerning the use of package treatment plants as a method ' of solving some of the severe sewage disposal problems in several of its communities. - 43 - 6. Stormwater Runoff a. Residential Development BACKGROUND Residential development in Camden County is typical of most rural areas in that most homes are located on large lots. Development densities are generally one residential unit per acre. Minimum lot sizes are 20,000 square feet, but seldom is a unit permitted at the minimum lot size. Most are built on lots of 40,000 square feet or more. Generally, residential runoff does not pose a significant threat to the fragile lands or the surface waters in the County. However, increased development along the Camden Causeway could pose a threat to surface water quality. At present, development along the causeway is somewhat limited. Elizabeth City has extended sewer and water service into the causeway area. The causeway area contains all of the AEC land categories present in Camden County -- coastal wetlands, estuarine waters, and estuarine shorelines. POLICY The County supports the use of land regulate the amount and percentage coverage on any developable lot. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY L F use controls to of building ' The County will rely on existing land use controls to regulate the amount and percentage of building coverage on any developable lot. It may also consider additional regulations to control the amount of impervious surfaces that may be permitted on a building lot and may choose to require drainage plans prior to the approval of major subdivision developments. Agricultural Areas BACKGROUND Although the potential exists, nutrient loading of the surface waters of the North and Pasquotank Rivers through stormwater runoff from agriculture lands has generally not been a significant problem in the County. No studies that describe the scope and extent of this problem are available. In general, the farmers in the County recognize the potential dangers to the surface waters in the area from the rapid loading of fertilizer enriched stormwater into the drainage basins of the County and to a great extent, -44- J have initiated best management recommendations of the ' U.S. Soil Conservation Service. POLICY ' The County supports the use of the best management practices recommendations of the United States Soil Conservation Service. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will encourage local farm organizations to maintain on -going educational programs and demonstrations that will keep farmers informed of best management practices and available assistance. 7. Marinas, Dry Stack Storage Facilities, and Floating Homes BACKGROUND During the previous planning period, two marinas increased their number of rental boat slips. Currently, additional ' boat facilities are under construction along U.S. 158/SR34 (Camden Causeway). No dry stack storage facilities exist in the County. Floating homes are not common in the County's ' waters. POLICY The County supports the development of private marinas and dry stack storage facilities that are constructed in addition thereto. It also supports the allowance of floating homes in its waters if proper sewage disposal is provided and applicable Coastal Area Management Act guidelines are followed. ' STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION The County will rely on local, state, and federal agencies ' with regulatory authority to regulate marinas, dry stack storage facilities, and floating homes within its borders. 8. Restriction of Development within Areas Up to Five Feet Above Mean High Water Susceptible to Sea Level Rise and Wetland Loss ' BACKGROUND Existing local, state, and federal regulations are deemed ' adequate. - 45 - POLICY The County supports the enforcement of local controls and the efforts of state and federal agencies with regulatory authority to restrict development within areas up to five feet above mean high water susceptible to.sea level rise and wetland loss. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will continue to enforce the Flood Plain Ordinance and participate in the Regular Phase of the National Flood Insurance Program. It will rely on the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and National Resources, Division of Coastal Management to monitor and regulate development in areas up to five feet above mean high water susceptible to sea level rise and wetland loss. 9. Upland Excavation for Marina Basins BACKGROUND There has not been a great deal of interest or activity in Camden County regarding this issue. However, if open water marinas become a concern, the County may encourage developers to excavate for marina basins. Pollutant buildup following such activities could occur unless proper engineering principles are followed. POLICY L� The County supports the efforts and programs of state and federal agencies with jurisdiction to regulate the upland excavation of land for marina basins. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will rely on state and federal agencies with jurisdiction to regulate upland excavation for marina basins. It will encourage such activities in cases where intrusion of marina facilities into a waterway would interfere with the use of the waterway by the general public. 10. Bulkhead Installation BACKGROUND Bulkheading activities, if properly engineered and permitted, are considered an asset to the County. POLICY The County supports the installation of properly engineered and permitted bulkheads. - 46 - r-, I� IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY ' The County will rely on the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Division of Coastal Management ' to monitor and regulate bulkheading activities. 11. Flood Plain Management ' BACKGROUND Flooding is a potential problem in approximately 50% of the ' County according to the Flood Plain Boundary maps prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Flood plain areas essentially ring the County along the shores of the North and Pasquotank Rivers, the Albemarle Sound, and the extensive swamp areas in the northern and southern sections of the County. The greatest flood threat in the County is storm surge and wind tides, particularly in the Camden Point ' area. The County participated in the regular phase of the Federal Flood Insurance Program. On November 18, 1991, the County adopted the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance. POLICY ' The County supports the enforcement of local, state, and federal regulations and programs that minimize the threat to life and property from flooding. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will continue to participate in the regular phase of the Federal Flood Insurance Program and to enforce the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance. Subdivision regulations will be enforced -- requiring elevation monuments to be set so that flood plain elevations can be more easily determined. C. Resource Production and Management Issues 1. Productive Agricultural Lands ' BACKGROUND ' It is estimated that of Camden County's approximately 154,048 land acres, some 53,000 acres (34%) are harvested cropland. Most of the County is suitable for agricultural ' production. The best agricultural areas, according to the soil associations, occur as borders between the low marsh areas and the inland plain area. The percentage of the County's total acreage considered to be prime farmland is about 53.8%, according to the Northeast North Carolina Area Office (Area 4) of the Soil Conservation Service in Edenton, North Carolina. The least suitable areas are those in the ' swamps and flood plains. -47- 2. The County is currently rewriting its zoning regulations with the goal of placing areas for commercial and industrial uses in clusters. The idea of requiring buffers between such developments and agricultural lands has been discussed. The County does not encourage the conversation of -prime farmland to residential use, but routinely allows such conversions to occur. POLICY The County supports the recruitment and siting of environmentally compatible light industrial and commercial establishments within its borders in areas that are already similarly developed or in public or private industrial parks to minimize the sacrifice of prime agricultural land for such development. The County does not encourage the conversion of prime farmland to residential use. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will complete the rewrite of its zoning regulations and adopt same in 1993 and will enforce these and other land use regulations to minimize the sacrifice of prime agricultural lands for other uses. Existing and Potential Mineral Production Areas BACKGROUND In some cases, sand mining activities have caused complaints from adjoining property owners. Sand mining is a concern to some, given that up 6 to 7 feet of topsoil clay may be removed in some cases to obtain sand. Improper sand mining activities are not uncommon. The State issues mining permits, if not in conflict with local zoning regulations. In the past, enforcement of permit guidelines has been a problem and the need for better state -local communication regarding the permitting of sand mining has been identified by County staff. POLICY The County supports properly permitted mining activities within its borders. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will enforce its zoning regulations and rely on state permitting agencies to regulate mining activities. The County will take a more active stance regarding the State permitting authorities and their oversight of mining activities by communicating grievances to the appropriate State agencies and officials. P I I I 3. Commercial and Recreational Fisheries; Nursery and Habitat ' Areas BACKGROUND ' Crabbing activity has become prominent in the southern part of the County. In February 1993, zoning regulations were amended to create a Home Based Fishing (RA-20 HBF) district in an effort to deal with some of the complaints and problems associated with crabbing activities. Attempts to acquire access areas for recreational fishing continue, with little success thus far. The Great Dismal Swamp and the Dismal Swamp Canal Visitor/Welcome Center are assets to the County and are ' promoted as tourist destinations. See also Section D, page 50 for a discussion of "Tourism, Recreation, and Waterfront Access." POLICY The County supports commercial and recreational fishing in ' its waters and will cooperate with other local governments and state and federal agencies to control pollution of these waters to improve conditions so that commercial and ' recreational fishing will increase. It also supports the preservation of nursery and habitat areas, particularly the Great Dismal Swamp. ' IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY ' The County will enforce its zoning regulations and seek assistance from the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources to develop additional public accesses and boat ramps. It will rely on state and federal agencies to ' promote and protect the Great Dismal Swamp, as well as other nursery and habitat areas. ' 4. Commercial Forest Lands BACKGROUND About 64% of Camden County is forest land while only about 20% is actually suited for conventional forest production. Conversion of forested lands to agriculture production and the lack of reforestation has reduced the total acreage of wooded lands in the County. However, most of the County still remains in forest. Commercial forest lands numbered 107,000 acres in 1978. By 1993, the estimated acres of ' commercial forest lands had diminished to 99,048 acres. In Camden County, much of the best forest land is also the best farm land. 1 - 49 - POLICY The County supports the reforestation of clear cut timber lands and the use of best forestry management practices. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will continue the encourage the use of best forest management practices. D. Economic and Community Development Issues 1. Types and Locations of Industries Desired ' BACKGROUND During the previous planning period, the Board of Commissioners appointed a ten member Industrial Development Committee to promote the County as an appealing location for new industry. The Committee's work thus far has contributed to the progress of the proposed water system improvements. Several small industries made informal inquiries about the possibility of locating in Camden County during the past five years. However, the lack of necessary infrastructure and the presence of environmentally fragile areas have served to discourage any additional significant action by industrial concerns. The Camden County School System continues to be the largest employer in the County. Further, County estimates place the percentage of citizens working outside of Camden County at nearly eighty percent. During public informational meetings in March 1993, and through 1990-91 survey results, a strong sense of support for the recruitment of environmentally safe, light industry in the County was evident. Survey results indicate, that of respondents asked to rate twenty-one issue areas, 63% rated "Recruiting Industry" as "very important" while 59% rated "Lack of Jobs" as "very important." These issues ranked as fifth and ninth respectively in the list of twenty-one. See "Workshops and Meetings" section and APPENDIX 1. The County is currently reviewing and rewriting its zoning regulations -- including analysis and discussion of commercial and industrial land requirements and land use compatibility issues. In large part, this effort focuses on potential industrial areas and their relationship to water service. Currently, the only industrial zones are associated with C & L Concrete Works Incorporated, Albemarle Asphalt, and various mining sites. The proposed South Camden Water System will serve the entire South Camden Water and Sewer District and may extend to the Belcross area and serve the existing industrially zoned sites. - 50 - I I POLICY The County supports the recruitment and siting of environmentally compatible light industrial and commercial establishments within its borders in areas that are already similarly developed or in public or private industrial parks to minimize the sacrifice prime agricultural lands for such development. The County also supports the Northeastern North Carolina Economic Development Commission in its efforts to promote economic development in the County. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will continue to maintain the Industrial Development Committee and seek grant monies to encourage and promote economic and industrial development through advertising, land acquisition, and infrastructure improvements. It will encourage the creation of investment ' clubs by the private sector to make start-up monies available to new businesses. It will support the recruitment and siting of commercial and industrial ' establishments in areas already similarly developed and in public or private industrial parks that may develop. It will also encourage the preparation and distribution of ' materials such as the pamphlet "Camden County, North Carolina -- A Great Alternative" which serve to highlight the County's location, transportation system, and proximity ' to institutions of higher learning. 2. Local Commitment to Service Provision to Development BACKGROUND The County has obtained the necessary approvals to construct ' a $3.2 million water system in the southern end of the County. In November 1992, a referendum for a portion of the County resulted in citizen approval of the issuance of $1.6 million in general obligation bonds to be applied with an ' approximate $2.0 million grant for the project known as the south Camden water system. The County also negotiated a water contract with the City of Elizabeth City. In ' addition, the County conducted discussions with the South Mills Water Association regarding a three -phased plan to include: ' completion of the south Camden water system; • interconnection of the south Camden water system and that of the South Mills Water Association; and, ' the construction of a water treatment facility to serve the entire County. ' The County initiated preliminary discussions with environmental agencies and the Economic Development Administration pertaining to wastewater treatment facilities ' in the Camden Point Shores area in conjunction with a - 51 - development project estimated to cost approximately $1.0 million. Also, the County discussed the possibilities of a ' wastewater treatment system for the village of South Mills in conjunction with a Community Development Block Grant project presently underway in the Bloodfield Road area of ' the County. During the previous planning period, the County made great strides in consolidating and economizing its solid waste ' system. The County converted from a county -wide door to door collection system to a system revolving around three recycling/convenience centers. The centers, located in the Shiloh Township, the South Mills Township and at the Courthouse, cost a total of $52,000 to develop. Their impact has been largely responsible for reducing the County's solid waste budget in fiscal year 1990-1991, some ' $269,800, to $190,672 in fiscal year 1992 1993. Public education programs have contributed to the fact that an average, 28% of those persons using the recycling/ ' convenience centers recycle at least some of their waste. In turn, this and other factors have helped to reduce the amount of waste taken to the Pasquotank County landfill; in 1992, by over one-half million pounds. ' The County adopted the Camden County Solid Waste Management Ordinance on July 20, 1992 to regulate the storage, ' collection, and disposal of solid waste in Camden County. On June 2, 1993, the County contracted with Pasquotank County to dispose of its waste in Bertie County in a , facility to be operated by Addington Industries, described on page 23 of this Update. During the March 1993 public informational meetings, ' speakers voiced concerns over school facilities needs. Similarly, over 80% of respondents of the 1990-91 Camden Survey felt "Improving Education" was "very important" -- , ranking this issue first among twenty-one identified issues. See APPENDIX 1, "Workshops and Meetings" section, and APPENDIX 6. , POLICY The County supports the extension of water services from , existing systems and encourages the use of central systems for new developments -- whether residential, commercial, or industrial in nature. It also supports the continued public , provision of solid waste disposal, law enforcement, and educational services to all citizens of the County. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY ' The County will complete the south Camden water system project and encourage the private development of compatible ' central water systems for new developments through the development review policy. The County will rely on its existing land use and development ordinances to regulate ' - 52 - these developments and may amend or modify regulations to ' encourage or require the provision of central water service to lots or parcels proposed in new developments. The County will investigate, with the Institute of Government, the use of impact fees as a way of making new development pay for the services demanded. The County will continue -to provide solid waste disposal, law enforcement, and educational services to all developments in the County at current ' service levels. The County will seek educational grants to subsidize continuing education at nearby colleges and universities and support community education programs. 3. Types of Growth Patterns Desired r] BACKGROUND The County continues to enforce current land use and development ordinances to regulate the location and density of development within its borders. Most lands not presently included in existing urban clusters are zoned for agricultural uses. Currently, any proposed development of more than five lots must be presented to the Code Enforcement Officer/Building Inspector who reviews and forwards same to the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners for action. Development proposals involving less than five lots can be approved by the Code Enforcement Officer/Building Inspector without Planning Board or Board of Commissioner involvement at the option of the Officer, if no variances are requested and if the proposed development is in compliance with the procedures for abbreviated subdivisions. Community attitudes toward residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional development can be gauged by the results of the 1990-91 Camden Survey and by input at three public informational meetings held in March 1993. In fact, of 635 responses received (of 736 distributed) during the 1990-91 Camden Survey, 92% of those responding favored promoting local commercial businesses and 78% favored promoting clean, tax paying industries. Further, of twenty- one identified issues in the 1990-91 Camden Survey, "Recruiting Industry" ranked fifth. See APPENDIX 1. The effort put forth during the on -going review and rewrite of the zoning ordinance is indicative of the County's efforts to determine the type of growth patterns desired. The desire to keep Camden County rural and agricultural in nature often conflicts with the desire the attract industry and commercial development. There is support for directing commercial and industrial development in areas already similarly developed or in public or private industrial parks that may develop, while maintaining agricultural areas. The County must balance the two through the application of zoning regulations. There is support for zoning, as evidenced by the fact that 70% of 633 respondents (of 736 distributed) felt zoning regulations were needed in Camden - 53 - 4. County. The support is primarily due to the acknowledgement of the impacts that development, whether residential, commercial, or industrial, can have on natural resources, the capabilities of community services and resources, and the quality of life. See APPENDIX 1. POLICY The County supports the maintenance of its rural atmosphere, the preservation of the natural environment, and the location and concentration of commercial and environmentally compatible light industrial development in areas that are already similarly developed or in public or private industrial parks. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will complete the review and rewrite of its zoning regulations in 1993. It will enforce zoning regulations and maintain a qualified professional staff and may employ a planner to administer and enforce the regulations necessary for orderly growth and development. It will also maintain the Industrial Development Committee and seek grant monies to encourage and promote economic and industrial development. Redevelopment of Developed Areas BACKGROUND The County obtained a Community Development Block Grant for housing renovations and wastewater system improvements in the Bloodfield section of South Mills. The County also adopted the Camden County Housing Code on May 15, 1989 and has since condemned some structures. Community leadership has been promoted by the creation of the Long Range Planning Committee and the Environmental Committee. POLICY The County supports repair and reconstruction of privately owned dwelling units through private funds and/or grants. It supports the enforcement of existing regulations of the District Health Department regarding sanitary conditions. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will seek state and federal financial and technical assistance for community improvements. The County may apply for a Community Development Block grant for the rehabilitation of areas of substandard housing after identifying same. The County will continue to enforce the Camden County Housing Code and support the regulatory efforts of the District Health Department. - 54 - 11 11 E 0 i 1 5. Commitment to State and Federal Programs BACKGROUND The County continues to support state and federal programs which are deemed necessary, cost-effective, and --within the administrative and fiscal capabilities of Camden County. These include: • Community Development Block Grant Program; • Area Agency on Aging; • Emergency Medical Services; • JTPA Work Program; • Farmer's Home House Preservation Program; • Coastal Area Management Act; • Small Business Association; • Economic Development Administration - Revolving Loan Program; • Farmer's Home Administration - Federal Grant Program; • Federal Emergency Management Program; • Aid to Families with Dependent Children; • MEDICAID; • Day Care; and, • Crisis Intervention. The Board of Commissioners, of itself and through its boards, commissions, and committees, monitors state and federal programs and regulations -- voicing support or disagreement as deemed necessary. The County supports the CAMA and its regulatory mechanisms. The County is on record opposing the proposed U.S. 17 Bypass of the City of Elizabeth City. POLICY The County will selectively support state and federal programs related to Camden County. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County, through its boards, commissions, and committees, will monitor state and federal programs and regulations. It will use opportunities as they are presented to voice support for or to disagree with programs and regulations that are proposed by state and federal agencies. 6. Energy Facility Siting and Development ' BACKGROUND Traditionally, this has not been an issue in Camden County as the County considers the possibility of the siting of an energy production facility within its borders to be remote. However, the County could find itself as the host for 1 -55- I `A staging and support activities and facilities for energy related industries. POLICY The County supports the location of staging areas -and support facilities for energy related activities -- particularly exploration. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will continue to maintain the Industrial Development Committee and seek grant monies to encourage and promote economic and industrial development. Tourism, Recreation, and Waterfront Access BACKGROUND Some support was shown at the March 1993 public informational meetings to better promote the County as a tourist attraction and encourage its potential as a location for attractions such as golf courses and retirement communities, or developments such as the Albemarle Plantation in nearby Perquimans County. During the previous planning period, the number of visitors to the Great Dismal Swamp Canal Visitor/Welcome Center and usage of the causeway by pleasure boaters both increased. In the last nine months of 1989, the Center hosted 269,496 visitors. Calendar years 1990, 1991, and 1992 saw visit totals steadily climb from 414,410 to 427,539 to 455,304 respectively. During the same period, the number of boats transiting the canal rose from 1,754 in 1989 to 1,971 in 1992. The six sites presently listed on the National Register of Historic Places, discussed on page 34 of this Update, could be promoted as tourist destinations, alone, or perhaps in conjunction with the appeal of the Great Dismal Swamp. To date, two privately funded accesses have been developed. These are located at the end of Milltown Road (SR 1113) and One Mill Road (SR 1101). At present, the County owns no public access to the waterfront. Several state maintained roads end in the vicinity of the waterfront and are used in some cases by residents and others as access. The County has not purchased land along the waterfront for public access. One notable water related development, "Lamb's of Camden," combines a retail establishment with a marina and has heightened interest in waterway usage by the general public. -56- C 1 POLICY ' The County supports the Great Dismal Swamp Visitor/Welcome Center and tourism and recreational related developments that protect and preserve the natural environment while promoting the County as a tourist destination. _U supports the private and public development of waterfront access through private funds and grant monies. It also supports the ' work of the Northeastern North Carolina Economic Development Commission. ' IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County may investigate strategies such as providing self -guided tour materials or promoting and cooperating with ' the functions and committees of area chambers of commerce to increase tourist activity at its historic sites. It will continue to support the Great Dismal Swamp Visitor/Welcome ' Center. The County will work with the Tourism Division of the Northeastern North Carolina Economic Development Commission ' as it studies how the County can be a productive part of the "Partnership for the Sounds" being marketed by the Tourism ' Division. The County will investigate amendments to existing development regulations to require developers to donate funds or land for the provision of public waterfront access ' in the next two years -- beginning with the Subdivision Ordinance. Should suitable sites for accesses become available, the County will apply for grant monies to ' construct same. It will lobby state legislators to support amendments to funded access programs to also include inland waters. 1 8. Types, Densities, Locations, Units Per Acre of Anticipated Residential Development, and Support Services Necessary ' BACKGROUND ' The County enforces its zoning and subdivision regulations. Severe soil limitations in the County preclude development densities of more than one dwelling unit per acre in most portions of the County. In addition, regulations require ' that wells must be at least 100 feet from septic systems. The on -going review and rewrite of the County's zoning ordinance may lead to the allowance of greater densities ' within a "community core district" that is being discussed. the on -going discussions regarding zoning in the County point toward the continuance of a minimum twenty thousand ' square feet requirement for residential uses -- realizing that the allowance of greater densities may evolve if and when public or community sewer service is available. The -57- 1 prevailing sentiment is to maintain low densities in areas apart from community cores, also called centroids. POLICY The County supports the use of zoning and subdi*4-sion regulations as primary development controls and supports amendments to each as necessary to continue to: promote the health and general welfare of its citizens; provide adequate light and air; prevent the overcrowding of land; avoid undue population concentrations; and, facilitate the adequate provision of transportation, water, sewer, educational and public facilities, recreation, and other public requirements. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY The County will complete the review and rewrite of its zoning ordinance and adopt a revised ordinance in 1993. It will enforce its zoning, subdivision, and other land use regulations, relying on state and federal agencies and personnel when and where applicable. It also will maintain a qualified professional staff and may employ a planner to administer and enforce the ordinances necessary for orderly residential growth and development. J E. Continuing Public Participation I BACKGROUND Rule .0207-Public Participation, Subchapter 7B, of the North Carolina Administrative Code, October 1989, requires localities to: ...employ a variety of education efforts and participation techniques to assure that all segments of the community have a full and adequate opportunity to be informed and to effectively participate in planning decision -making. Throughout the previous planning period, the members of the Board of Commissioners attended retreats, seminars, and conferences as opportunities were presented. In 1989, the County employed its first county manager. Periodic staff meetings were held for all elected and appointed officials to discuss various issues and to promote the exchange of ideas. The County advertised public meetings through local news media and the posting of meeting notices at various public facilities. The County also prepared and distributed a newsletter called the "Camden County News" periodically throughout the planning period. The County used direct mailings to residents on occasion concerning specific issues such as water and sewer facilities. Similarly, it periodically distributed pamphlets and public - 58 - announcements at the three recycling centers regarding issues ' such as meetings on public recreational facilities planning. The County also distributed a county -wide survey to every home in the County to obtain residents' input on a variety of issues. Following this exercise, the Board of Commissioners appointed a Long Range Planning Committee. The Committee's charge_ -.was to prepare recommendations and to summarize the issues facing Camden County. Their work, the "State of Camden County - 1992", has treceived a great deal of attention both in and out of the County. Over 200 persons serve the County in various capacities on its ' numerous boards, commissions, and committees within the County or as representatives of the County at state and regional meetings. ' Forms have been prepared and are routinely provided to citizens who may have complaints or questions. POLICY The County encourages public participation in all land use decisions and procedure development processes and encourages ' citizen input via its boards, commissions, and agencies. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY ' A Public Education and Citizen Participation Plan was approved by the Camden County Board of Commissioners on March 1, 1993. See APPENDIX 4. It was designed to give citizens and interested parties opportunities to voice their views on land use policy issues throughout the 1993 Camden County Land Use Plan Update. ' Three public informational meetings were held on March 22, 23, and 24, 1993 by (or for) the Camden County Planning Board to receive some initial input from citizens and interested parties regarding issues and areas of concern. The issues and areas of concern discussed at these and subsequent meetings were considered by the Planning Board and the Board of Commissioners as policies and implementation strategies were developed for the ' 1993 Update. See "Workshops and Meetings" section. F. Natural Hazards Planning ' 1. Introduction With limited editing and some reorganization, the following sections appear as they are found in the 1986 Camden Land ' Use Plan Update. ' The purpose of this section is to assist the County in managing development in those areas most likely to suffer damages from a severe storm or hurricane and to reduce the risk to life and property from same. High winds, flooding, ' intense wave action, and coastline erosion are the four physical forces of a severe storm or hurricane that create threats to life and property. Flooding claims the most ' lives during severe storms or hurricanes while high winds - 59 - cause the most property damage. Only by identifying those areas most likely to suffer damage from any of these forces or combinations thereof, can the County develop a meaningful storm mitigation plan. MAP 2, Storm Hazard Composite Map, indicates those.areas in Camden County most likely to sustain damage from flooding and other water related hazards, such as wave action and shore erosion. The map is a composite of the flood hazard areas indicated on Slosh Maps prepared by the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management and of identified Areas of Environmental Concern located in the County. All of the County is assumed to be susceptible to wind damage, so this area is not mapped. Vulnerability of an area is measured by both the severity and magnitude of risk. The severity ranking is based on the number of physical forces likely to affect a particular identified storm hazard area. Severity is ranked on a scale of 1 to 4; with 1 being the most severe. That is, areas likely to receive damage from all four physical forces of a hurricane are ranked as 1; those receiving only wind damage are ranked as 4. TABLE 10, Risk Table For Hazard Areas, taken from the 1986 Update, ranks the severity or risk associated with the identified storm hazard areas in the County and the physical forces affecting the different areas.

As TABLE 10 shows, severe storms and hurricanes most seriously affect the estuarine shoreline. All four physical storm forces inflict damage to this narrow, 75 foot ribbon of land. Storm experience in Camden County, however, indicates that wind damage causes the greatest damage. -60- 0 Storm experience with Hurricanes Charlie and Gloria seem to ' bear out this observation. Neither of these storms can be classed as Category III Storms. Earlier storm experience with more severe storms (Hazel, Connie, and Ione) inflicted ' heavier water damage, particularly wave action along the Albermarle Sound at Camden Point. The largest platted subdivision in the County is located at ' Camden Point. Most structures are built on extensive fill material to elevate the structures from the water table, which is often above ground in this area. Health regulations and those of the FEMA have severely curtailed ' this practice. ' Land uses along the estuarine shoreline are generally water related and improvements include private piers, boat docks, and bulkheads. The shoreline in Camden County is frequently at or only slightly above the mean high water mark. Wave 1 damage, flooding, and shoreline erosion cause the greatest damage to the shoreline. Flooding, wave action, and erosion all affect coastal ' wetlands. These areas are not mapped, but in Camden County they most frequently occur along the shores of the Pasquotank and North Rivers and along the short streams that drain into these bodies of water. There is no development directly in these areas and most improvements consist of piers, decks, and walkways. ' The risk and magnitude of flood damage is greatest along the sound at the southern tip of the County. This area is generally swamp, and well below the 100-year flood hazard ' elevation. Since the County entered the regular phase of the National Flood Insurance Program in 1985, all structures located in flood prone areas must comply with FEMA ' regulations governing construction in the flood plain. High winds cause most of the property damage in Camden County, simply because they affect all properties. Structures can sustain direct damage from high winds. Similarly, high winds can have an indirect effect on ' structures as trees are downed, debris is carried into structures, and utility services are interrupted. 2. Storm Hazard Mitigation BACKGROUND ' Various storm hazards affect various areas of the County. The greatest collective damage is from wind damage because the whole County is affected. The most seriously affected developed areas are those with property improvements in ' flood plain areas. The greatest risk potentials are found in the Flood Hazard Areas. - 61 - 3. Flooding affects the 100-year flood hazard area, public trust waters, coastal wetlands, and estuarine shorelines. Similarly, erosion and wave action affect the estuarine shorelines and coastal wetlands. POLICY The County supports the enforcement of all controls and regulations, specifically design standards, tie -down requirements, construction and installation standards, elevation requirements, flood -proofing, CAMA regulations, and FEMA regulations, deemed necessary by the Board of Commissioners to mitigate the risks to lives and property caused by severe storms and hurricanes. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY With respect to the threat of high winds, Camden County will follow and enforce the North Carolina State Building Code and requirements regarding design for high velocity winds. The County will enforce tie -down requirements for mobile homes. It will also enforce construction and mobile home installation standards for 100-mph winds. With respect to flooding, the County will support the hazard mitigation elements of the National Flood Insurance Program. Camden County will enforce regulations regarding elevation and flood -proofing of buildings and utilities. The County will support the CAMA and 404 Wetland Development permit processes. Regarding the effects of wave action and shoreline erosion, the County will continue to support the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Coastal Management and CAMA permitting procedures. It also supports FEMA's regulations concerning elevation and setbacks. Post -Disaster and Recovery Plan The Post -Disaster and Recovery Plan, included as APPENDIX 5, was taken from the 1986 Camden County Land Use Plan Update. It is intended to serve as at general procedural outline -- a guide and timetable that the County can follow in the event of a major disaster. It describes staffing assignments and personnel requirements. 4. Hurricane Evacuation Camden County participates in a joint Evacuation Plan along with Pasquotank County and the City of Elizabeth City. Several shelter areas are designated and staffing is arranged. Most of the shelters that would be used are located in Pasquotank County. Depending upon the severity of the storm, Northeastern High School, Sheep Harney Elementary School, Northside School, and Elizabeth City - 62 - Junior High School could be used. The primary shelter in Camden County would be the Camden High School, while the other two County schools would only be used in a worst case scenario. The County's most critical severe storm need will be effective evacuation of the Camden Point area. This area is peculiarly vulnerable, and roads leading to higher ground are often only slightly above the mean high water mark -- even in dry weather. The evacuation plan anticipates the problems with this area by making it the first in order of evacuation. - 63 - I V. LAND CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM E r-J V. LAND CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM A. Introduction As provided for in Rule .0204 of Subchapter 7B of the North Carolina Administrative Code, October 1989, a land classification system has been developed to assist the County in the implementation of the land use policies adopted herein. Delineation of land classes on a land classification map allows the County to specify areas where certain policies apply. The land classification system provides a framework to identify the present and future use of all lands. The land classification system is intended to be supported and complemented by zoning, subdivision, and other local growth management tools. The designation of land classes allows the County to show where and to what density it wants growth to occur and where it wants to conserve natural and cultural resources by guiding growth. However, the land classification system makes no restrictions on land use. Any development is permitted on any site if such development complies with existing local regulations and with the various permit requirements of the state and federal agencies with jurisdictions. SOURCE: North Carolina Administrative Code, October 1989. B. Land Classifications The land classification system can include seven basic classes and various subclasses. The basic classes include developed, urban transition, limited transition, community, rural, rural with services, and conservation. The County has identified and mapped five classes of land uses. See MAP 3. The classes are described as follows: 1. Limited Transition The purpose of the limited transition class is to provide for future development on lands that will be provided with some services, but are suitable for lower densities than those normally associated with developed or urban transition classifications. Areas meeting the intent of this classification are presently being developed or will be developed during the planning period. These areas are in, or will be in a "transition" state of development going from lower intensity uses to higher intensity uses and as such will eventually require infrastructure, facilities, and urban services. Areas classified limited transition will provide lands for predominantly residential development with modest densities. - 65 - Generally, areas that are predominantly residential meet the intent of this class if: • they are approaching three dwelling units per acre; or, • occur in developments wherein the majority of lots are 15,000 square feet or greater. Limited transition areas may possess physical limitations. Similarly, the class may be applied to areas of the County that are environmentally sensitive. This class is intended to provide for moderate development densities, realizing the benefits of both urban services and sound environmental protection practices. In this class, cluster development or Planned Unit Development may be appropriate. Camden County is designating the causeway area just across the Pasquotank River from the City of Elizabeth City as a limited transition area. During the previous planning period, the City of Elizabeth City annexed this portion of Camden County including a condominium complex, the Pelican Marina, and the Marina Restaurant along US 158. The Bloodfield Road area in South Mills is also designated a limited transition area. C 1 2.. Community I The purpose of the community class.is to provide for clustered, mixed land uses at low densities to help meet housing, shopping, employment, and other needs. Areas meeting the intent of the community class are presently developed at low densities which are suitable for private septic tank use. These areas are clustered residential and/or commercial land uses which provide both low intensity shopping and housing opportunities and provide a local social sense of "community." Municipal type services such as fire protection and community water may be available, but municipal type sewer systems are not provided. The major characteristic which distinguishes community with limited services from the limited transition class is that services are not provided to stimulate intense development, but rather to neutralize or avert health problems. Lands in this classification provide for a mix of low density housing, shopping, and employment needs and are not serviced by off -site wastewater treatment plants. Single family residential lots dominate this land class in the County. Although developed past the rural stage, this land class is limited in its ability to sustain urban growth by the absence of wastewater treatment. -66- 1 L KP 4. 71 U In Camden County, the areas designated as community are all existing crossroads communities that exhibit clustering and all residential subdivisions with 25 or more platted lots. Permitted uses are regulated by the Camden County Zoning Ordinance. Rural This class allows the County to designate areas of agriculture, forestry, mineral extraction, and other uses traditionally associated with agrarian pursuits. Other uses such as industrial uses, airports, sewage treatment facilities, and storage tanks are appropriate for this class given proper siting to mitigate potential negative impacts to adjacent uses or the natural environment. Very low density residential uses on large lots with private on -site water and sewer are consistent with the intent of this class and development should be as compatible with resource production as possible. Private septic tanks and wells are the primary on -site services available to support residential development; but fire, rescue, and law enforcement may also be available. Population densities will be very low. Rural With Services The rural with services class is found in most areas of the County. County areas meeting the intent of this class are appropriate for low intensity residential use where lot sizes are large and where service provision will not disrupt the primary rural character of the areas. Private wells and septic tanks exist although public water may become a reality in most of these areas during the planning period. The County is working with and through adjacent local governments and quasi -public agencies such as the South Mills Water Association, Incorporated, to make water available to all areas of the County. The rural with services classification is designed with the recognition that limited residential development may occur and not threaten the agricultural environment with suburban expansion. This class is intended to provide for very low density land uses including residential uses. Other uses such as industrial uses, airports, sewage treatment facilities, and storage tanks are appropriate for this class given proper siting to mitigate potential negative impacts to adjacent uses or the natural environment. Land development in this class should be controlled to insure the maintenance of the County's rural character. - 67 - 5. Other services such as solid waste/recycling centers, law enforcement and volunteer fire and rescue are available. The rural with service class is to be applied where the ' County has provided or intends to provide limited water services. ' Areas in this class are found along 200 feet on each side of all state maintained roads that are not currently included in another land classification. ' Conservation The purpose of the conservation class is to provide for ' effective long-term management and protection of significant, limited, or irreplaceable areas. Management is needed due to the natural, cultural, recreational, scenic, ' and productive values of these areas, both locally and regionally. Areas meeting the intent of this classification include: ' • AEC's, including but not limited to public trust water or estuarine waters; and, ' • other similar lands, environmentally significant because of their natural role in the integrity of the coastal region, including but not limited to bottom ' land hardwoods, pocosins, swamp forest, areas that are or have high probability of providing wildlife habitat, forest lands that are essentially undeveloped, and lands which otherwise contain , significant productive, natural, scenic, cultural, or recreational resources. ' The conservation class is designed to illustrate the natural, productive, scenic, cultural, and recreational features of Camden County which make it a desirable place in which to live, work, and visit. As such, the conservation ' class should be applied to areas that because of their unique, productive, limited, cultural, or natural features, should either not be developed at all (preserved), or if ' developed, done so in an extremely limited and cautious fashion. ' Lands in this classification have been identified as retaining significant or irreplaceable natural resources, scenic vistas, recreational sites, or cultural values to such a degree that careful management practices are ' necessary to insure the long-term viability of those resources. Only carefully planned and managed development is recommended on lands in this class. Urban services, ' whether public or private, should not be provided in areas in the conservation class so as not to stimulate intense development. , � 68 Conservation areas include all areas of environmental concern designated by CAMA, all U.S. Army Corps of ' Engineers' 11404 wetlands," all Storm Hazard Areas identified on the Composite Hazard Map, and all areas below the 100- year flood elevation. All land uses that can be permitted ' under the existing regulations of the various state, federal, and local governmental agencies with jurisdiction are allowed in the conservation district. ' to both the MAP 3 serves as a guide public and private sector and a tie to the policies in this Update and regulations in force in Camden County that effect ' development. In large measure, the policies and implementation strategies developed during the preparation of this Update emphasize the County's intention to rely on ' existing federal, state, and local regulations and agencies with land use related jurisdiction. The land classifications delineated on MAP 3 are approximate ' and general. That is, minor intrusions shall not be viewed as necessitating map amendments. n 7 7 Ll I WORKSHOPS AND MEETINGS COUNTY OF CAMDEN, NORTH CAROLINA 1993 CAMD N COUNTY LAND USE PLAN / / / GGJN i / `l 1 INN V, aron ly r �o G��1 \ / � �. �� � a� v, v, /� � y � y y v- � � � � n � / � � ode � `�Ofl'IAf • ® / C� n jGP/ �� O DISMAL SWAMP STATE PARK \ IR a �� /. �� 1 . � Y �� y Ji �L L y � l i ✓ � •L .IJY �V JL � t. � - n . . . . . . . . . . . 7 : pow V . . . . . . . . . ,go car o,�►ra sip 4 s 21 Honwohoo COUIV p-# 17, CgM4 fN � :�cp� \' COVNTY� _—,00 \ // - 7— pay�tank i AREA SHOWN IS GOVERNED BY THE CITY OF ELIZABETH CITY) NORTH CAROLINA TAYLOW BEACH SCALE: 1" = 4000' THE PREPARATION OF THIS MAP WAS FINANCED IN PART THROUGH A GRANT PROVIDED BY THE NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM, THROUGH FUNDS PROVIDED BY THE COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT ACT OF 1972, AS AMENDED, WHICH IS ADMINISTERED BY THE OFFICE OF OCEAN AND COASTAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, NATIONAL OCEANIC AND ATMOSPHERIC ADMINISTRATION.

On March 1, 1993, the Board of Commissioners adopted the Public Education and Citizen Participation Plan. As described in the Plan (See ' APPENDIX 4), discussions were held during regularly scheduled Planning Board meetings each month beginning January 25, 1993. Minutes of these meetings, ' public notices, and media accounts relating to the development and adoption of the 1993 Update are on file in the County Manager's Office. ' An example of a public meeting notice used by the County to encourage attendance and input at three public informational meetings held in March, 1993 follows as APPENDIX 6.

JON L. WIGGS, DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH ECSU CENTER for RURAL and COASTAL LIVING RE: UN -ANALYZED PERCENTAGED TALLIES OF ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS FROM QUESTIONNAIRE USED IN RECENT SURVEY. These data are percentages of those responding to each question. The number of persons responding to a particular question is given thus: (N=711). This shows that 711 of the 736 questionnaires which were returned had answers marked for a particular question. The missing data are coded thus: (3.4% missing). This shows that 25 of the questionnaires which were returned did not give answers this question. In some instances, as in What is your present age in years?, the results have been recoded so that groupings of results make more intuitive sense. This also should have been done with How many years have you resided in Camden County?, so this question's results are not displayed in this report. These preliminary data will help us to ask relevant questions in such a manner as to be more accurate in our understanding. For instance, 76% of the respondents were Caucasian, yet they comprise about two-thirds of the county's Population. For instance, 58% of the respondents were male, yet they comprise slightly over one-half of the county's population. For instance, 19% of the respondents did not vote in the last election. For instance, 63% of those responding own their own home. For instance, 37% did not answer when asked Where do you work? Due to the recent publicity regarding the possibility of Camden County deciding on a landfill proposal, a special mention needs to be made of the percentaged tally with regard to this one issue. It is important to note that unlike the priority ranking of 21 issues which were at the end of the questionnaire, the question about the landfill was very specific. That is, if certain assurances were made, and if certain monitoring procedures were in place, and if specific dollar amounts were forthcoming, then 60% of the respondents would agree with the alternative to continuing the present disposal. Thirty-three percent selected the option to continue the present procedure. The final report will be prepared as soon as possible following the next meeting of the Long -Range Planning Committee. 1-4 JIMMY R. JENKINS.

Wiggs, Director of Research ECSU Center for Rural and Coastal Living RE: Crosstabulations of selected issues from the data base collected by a mailed survey questionnaire (see report to the county commissioners dated 2/4/91). - Although ECSU/CRCL's direct assistance to your data collection was concluded in February, we can continue to be of service to you in your strategic planning efforts. ' When we serve as facilitators for planning, we talk "action". about moving from "vision" to The scientific measurement of public opinion in your county was guided by a broad -based identification of issues. This included several months of work by this committee, and a public hearing in December attended by over 60 people. ' The attached analysis, then, is a much more accurate starting point than most efforts at strategic planning since many such undertakings "get the cart before the horse". You ' have done your homework. You do not have to guess where the citizens stand on these issues. These results may not be as precisely measured as is possible (we used the mailed survey rather than taking a random sample by telephone because it ' gave every household an opportunity to respond). And they may not quite be the same results if an election were held today. But they are far more correct than any "informed" guess by an individual, no matter how sensitive that person might be to the attitudes of the general public or how powerful that person might be politically. local The question no longer need be raised as to where people stand on these local issues. The question before this committee is to decide what to do about it. Your next step ' is to design and implement Action Plans to address those key issues which the county officials deem important. Those ' which do not fall within these guidelines this year may be address by other government agencies, civic organizations, or area businesses. 1 � 9 JIMMY R.

Overman Associates, P.C. 380 Cleveland Place Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462 The preparation of this document was financed in part through a grant provided by the North Carolina Coastal Management Program, through funds provided by the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended, which is administered by the Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource Management, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. 2-1 (1) Areas of Environmental Concern (a) Protection of the Estuarine System AEC's: Coastal Wetlands ' (b) Protection of the Estuarine System AEC's: Estuarine Waters (c) Protection of the Estuarine System AEC's: Estuarine Shorelines (2) Continuing Public Participation in Planning Matters (3) Resource Protection (a) Soil Limitations (b) Protection of Potable Water Supply (c) Industrial Impact on Fragile Areas (d) Stormwater Run-off: Residential Development (e) Stormwater Run-off: Agricultural (f) Manmade Hazards (g) Cultural or Historical Resources (h) Fresh Water, Swamps, and Marshes (i) Septic Tank Limitations (j) Flood Plains (4) Resource Production and Management (a) Productive Agricultural Lands (b) Commercial Forest Land (c) Commercial and Recreational Fishing (d) Residential and Commercial Land Development Impact on Any Resource (e) Industrial Development Impact on Any Resource (f) Peat or Phosphate Mining Impact on Any Resource (g) Off Road Vehicles (h) Marina and Floating Home Development (5) Economic and Community Development (a) Types and Location of Industry (b) Local Commitment to Providing Services for Development (c) Types of Urban Growth Patterns Desired (d) Redevelopment of Developed Areas (e) Tourism and Waterfront Access (f) Type of Densities, Locations, Units Per Acre, Etc. of Anticipated Residential Development and Services Necessary to Support Such Development (g) Commitment to State and Federal Programs in the Area (h) Energy Facility Siting and Development (i) Package Treatment Plants (6)' Storm Hazard Mitigation 2-2 ' (1) Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC) ' (a) Protection of the Estuarine System AEC's: Coastal Wetlands Policy Adopted in 1988: The County recognizes the fragile nature of the coastal wetlands and its value in retarding run-off, reducing erosion, and supporting aquatic life. It shall be the policy of Camden County ' to support the efforts of the Coastal Resources Commission in protecting this valuable resource and to rely on the Division of Coastal Management to control development in these areas through ' its present permitting system. Implementation through 1992: ' In Camden County, coastal wetlands normally occur near the mouths of tributaries emptying into the estuarine waters of the Pasquotank River, the Albemarle Sound, and the North River. ' Potential threats to coastal wetlands are primarily due to surface run-off associated with agriculture, forestry, and residential uses. ' The County supported the efforts of the Coastal Resources Commission and relied on the Coastal Area Management Act (C.A.M.A.) permitting process to regulate development in coastal 1 wetlands. (b) Protection of the Estuarine System AEC's: Estuarine Waters ' Policies Adopted in 1988: ' It shall be the policy of Camden County to rely on the C.A.M.A. permitting process and the regulations of other State and Federal agencies with development jurisdiction, as well as on existing local development regulations, to mitigate threats to the ' County's estuarine waters. Camden County recognizes the extreme vulnerability of the ' estuarine shoreline and supports the C.A.M.A. permitting process to regulate development in this area. Implementation through 1992: ' In Camden County, the Pasquotank River is declared estuarine from the Norfolk Southern Railroad bridge near Elizabeth City to the ' Albemarle Sound. The North River is estuarine throughout the County. Surface run-off, septic tank leakage, and liquid waste discharges pose the greatest threats to the estuarine waters. Of ' these, -agricultural run-off poses the greatest threat due to the scope of the activities in Camden County. ' 2-3 r r The County supported the efforts of the Coastal Resources ' Commission and relied on the C.A.M.A. permitting process to regulate development in this area. ' (c) Protection of the Estuarine System AEC's: Estuarine Shorelines Policy Adopted in 1988: ' Camden County recognizes the extreme vulnerability of the estuarine shoreline and supports the C.A.M.A. permitting process ' to regulate development in this area. Implementation through 1992: , In Camden County, the estuarine shorelines extend continuously from the Norfolk Southern Railroad bridge near Elizabeth City, south around Camden Point and north along the entire length of ' the North River. The greatest threats to the estuarine shorelines in Camden County are bulkheading activities. The County supported the efforts of the Coastal Resources ' Commission and relied on the C.A.M.A. permitting process to regulate development in this area. ' (2) Continuing Public Participation in Planning Matters Policy Statements in 1988: ' It is the County's policy to encourage attendance by the public at all meetings of its various boards and committees. The County encourages coverage of all issues by various media representatives and invites ' active public participation in all issues. The county will rely on public discussion and media coverage to present ' the various facets, impacts, and costs associated with the various policy issues. Expert assistance will be sought to educate and to give guidance both to the general public and to the Board of Commissioners on ' issues whenever the Board feels such assistance is required. Implementation through 1992: Throughout the planning period, the members of the Board of , Commissioners attended retreats, seminars, and conferences as opportunities presented themselves. In 1989, the County employed its , first county manager. Periodic staff meetings were held for all elected and appointed officials to discuss various issues and to promote the exchange of ideas. ' The County advertised public meetings through local news media and the posting of meeting notices at various public facilities. The County also prepared and distributed a newsletter called the "Camden County News" periodically throughout the planning period. The County used 2-4 1 r direct mailings to residents on occasion concerning specific issues such as water and sewer facilities. Similarly, it periodically distributed pamphlets and public announcements at the three recycling centers regarding, for example, issues such as meetings on public recreational facilities planning. The County also distributed a county -wide survey to every home in the County to obtain residents' input on a variety of issues. Following this exercise, the Board of Commissioners appointed a Long Range Planning Committee. The Committee's charge was to prepare recommendations and to summarize the issues facing Camden County. Their work, the "State of Camden County - 1992", has received a great deal of attention both in and out of the County. Over 200 persons serve the County in various capacities on its numerous boards, commissions, and committees within the County or as representatives of the County at state and regional meetings. Forms have been prepared and are routinely provided to citizens who may have complaints or questions. (3) Resource Protection (a) Soil Limitations Policy Adopted in 1988: Development will be allowed if it complies with County Health Department septic tank permitting requirements and with local development controls. Implementation through 1992: The County implemented this policy as its building inspector enforced the provisions of the North Carolina Building Code concerning construction on soils with limitations. Also, the County has coordinated its subdivision permitting process with local representatives of the U.S. Soil Conservation Service and sought assistance for proper soils management. State erosion control standards for construction projects that cleared, altered, or excavated land in excess of one acre have been supported. From a development standpoint the lack of community water and wastewater facilities and farm run-off continue to be concerns since most soils in the County have been determined to be unsuitable for septic tank systems. All the major soil associations in Camden County have limitations to development; the principal limitations being either shallow depth to water table or frequent flooding. (b) Protection of Potable Water Supply 2-5 (c) (d) ' Policy Adopted in 1988: It is the policy of Camden County to protect the County's fresh water supply by strictly enforcing the lot size requ4-rements of ' the State Department of Health on all developments in the county. Implementation through 1992: The County required minimum lot sizes ranging from 20,000 to 40,000 square feet depending upon soil characteristics as ' determined by the County Health Officer. Also, the County is currently investigating a wastewater treatment plant to serve the South Mills Village vicinity. , The County adopted the Ordinance for Inspection Fees Pertaining to Flammable and Combustible Storage Containers. (Fuel Tank Inspection Ordinance), on December 2, 1991 to mitigate potential ' contamination of soil and water by fuel through proper installation and removal of fuel tanks. The County adopted the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance on ' November 18, 1991. Industrial Impact on Fragile Areas ' Policy Adopted in 1988: The County industry to develop in , will encourage the land use zones presently identified and so designated on the County Zoning Map. ' Implementation through 1992: No industrial development occurred during the planning period. The County is currently updating its Zoning Ordinance wherein permitted industrial land uses will be addressed. Stormwater Run-off: Residential Development ' Policy Adopted in 1988: ' It is the policy of Camden County to regulate the amount and percentage of building coverage on any developable lot. The county will study the possibility of extending prohibitions to , include all impervious surfaces on buildable lots. Implementation through 1992: ' The County did not adopt development regulations to control the amount of impervious surfaces that may be permitted on a building ' lot. State laws address stormwater runoff and the prevention of same - effecting even small scale commercial developments with 2-6 1 (e) (f) parking lots. State regulations, by which the County must comply, also come into play in large acreage developments. Camden County is a participant in a state-wide permit process which deals with Environmental Protection Agency (EP +-and North Carolina Division of Environmental Management rules pertaining to stormwater runoff. The Camden County Subdivision Ordinance, adopted on June 4, 1990, addresses drainage and sedimentation control in Section 406. Stormwater Run-off: Agricultural Policy Adopted in 1988: It has always been the Policy of Commissioners to encourage use o recommendations of the U.S. Soil Implementation through 1992: f the Camden County Board of the best management practices Conservation Service. The County relied on the North Carolina Co -Operative Extension Service and Department of Agriculture to maintain on -going educational programs and demonstrations to assist and advise farmers. Agricultural run-off continues to be a concern. It has been addressed through the North Carolina Agricultural Cost Share Program as related to water quality. In addition, critical area seeding has taken place to protect water quality in drainage ditches adjacent to agricultural fields. Approximately $300,000 of Clean Water Act monies have been spent in Camden County to address drainage and stormwater runoff problems during the planning period. Manmade Hazards Policy Adopted in 1988: The County will use its present development controls to minimize the adverse effects of manmade hazards. Implementation through 1992: Through the adherence to applicable regulations and guidelines including those of the North Carolina Department of Insurance, North Carolina Division of Solid Waste, and the General Statutes, and the enforcement of the Camden County Zoning Ordinance, the County required buffer zones between conflicting uses. Similarly, the County has cooperated with the North Carolina Department of Transportation with respect to entrance permit requirements. 2-7 (g) (h) Cultural or Historical Resources Policy Adopted in 1988: The County will guide development so that it protects the historic and potentially historic properties in Camden County and perpetuates the county's cultural heritage. Implementation through 1992: The County has been unsuccessful in receiving grant monies to renovate the Camden County Courthouse. The County did not seek a grant for a complete inventory of historically significant structures and sites and did not encourage a county -wide survey of historical sites by the local Historical Society. During the planning period, no additional sites were listed on the National. Register of Historic Places. Fresh Water, Swamps, and Marshes Policy Adopted in 1988: Camden County will rely on existing local state and federal agencies with permitting regulate development in these areas. Implementation through 1992: r land use ordinances and I jurisdiction to In Camden County, swamp and marsh cover 40% of the land area. Wooded swamps were designated as Conservation Areas on the Land Classification Map in the 1986 Camden Land Use Plan Update and their uses restricted to those of Coastal Wetlands. In efforts to protect and preserve the integrity of the swamp ecological function, the County has acquired two parcels along the Camden Causeway containing wetlands and is working to acquire additional parcels. Coastal wetlands in Camden County are discussed in (1),(a). The Board of Commissioners appointed an Environmental Advisory Committee to address issues of concern related to these and other environmentally sensitive areas and to make recommendations to the Commissioners. In addition, the United States Army Corps of Engineers, North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, and District Health Department were among the agencies that assisted the County throughout the planning period. 2-8 1 1 (i) Septic Tank Limitations Policy Adopted in 1988: The County shall require subdivisions proposals be first reviewed by the County Health Officer and the Soil Conservation Service and comments received from those two agencies before any consideration of approval. Implementation through 1992: All general soil associations in Camden County are subject to either severe or very severe limitations to septic tank use due to depth to water table or flooding. During the planning period, permits were required for all septic systems installed. Through the District Health Department, a management entity was created for subdivisions to promote more environmentally sound waste disposal. (j) Flood Plains Policy Adopted in 1988: The County shall enforce its flood plain development ordinance to minimize the threat to life and property from flooding. Implementation through 1992: The County participated in the regular phase of the Federal Flood Insurance Program. On November 18, 1991, the County adopted the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance. This ordinance requires a two foot elevation above the floodplain for new construction. (4) Resource Production and Management (a) Productive Agricultural Lands Policy Adopted in 1988: The County will use what means it has to encourage productive to remain productive agricultural lands. Implementation through 1992: The County, with assistance from the North Carolina Department of Commerce, Division of Community Assistance, is currently reviewing its Zoning Ordinance and is examining proposed language to require excessive lot sizes for single family development on prime agricultural lands. 2-9 Fj (b) (c) (d) Commercial Forest Land I Policy Adopted in 1988: ' Camden County will encourage reforestation of clear cut timber lands as a sound forest management practice. ' Implementation through 1992: About 70% of Camden County is forest land while only about 20% is ' actually suited for conventional forest production. The County encouraged the use of best forestry management practices by supporting the North Carolina Forest Service. Commercial and Recreational Fishing Policy Adopted in 1988: The county encourages commercial and recreational fishing in its , waters and will cooperate with other local governments, federal and state agencies to control pollution of these waters to conditions that commercial and recreational fishing will increase. Implementation through 1992: Crabbing activity has become prominent in the southern part of the County. In February 1993, the Zoning Ordinance was amended to create a Home Based Fishing (RA-20 HBF) district. Attempts to acquire access areas for recreational fishing continue with little success thus far. Residential and Commercial Land Development Impact on Any I Resource Policy Adopted in 1988: ' Agricultural land, as well as forest land, are very important resources to Camden County. The county should encourage development away from prime agricultural and forest land to areas less suitable for these two types of land use. Implementation through 1992: ' Residential and commercial development has not been significant in the County. Over the past five years, 222 building permits , have been issued in Camden County. With the exception of WaterMark, a commercial use structure, all were issued for residential use structures. 2 - 10 L I The County is currently reviewing its Zoning Ordinance, paying particular attention to lot size requirements as a land use guidance mechanism. Subdivision regulations do not regulate the division of acreage tracts into parcels of greater th-an ten acres. (e) Industrial Development Impact on Any Resource Policy Adopted in 1988: This is not an issue. Implementation through 1992: Attempts have been made to obtain monies with which to acquire land and provide necessary improvements for a County -owned industrial park. (f) Peat or Phosphate Mining on Any Resource Policy Adopted in 1988: This is not an issue. Implementation through 1992: None. (g) Off Road Vehicles Policy Adopted in 1988: This is not an issue. Implementation through 1992: None. (h) Marina and Floating Home Development Policy Adopted in 1988: None. This is not an issue at this time. Implementation through 1992: Two marinas have increased the number of boat slips available for rent during the planning period. Currently, additional boat facilities are under construction along U.S. 158/SR34. 2 - 11 k (5) Economic and Community Development (a) Types and Location of Industry ' Policy Adopted in 1988: Camden County is not interested in becoming a major manufacturing ' center, nor a haven for low paying sweat shops. The residents in Camden County enjoy the rural atmosphere of the county and will strive to maintain this way of life through very selective , recruitment of industrial establishments and through very active discouragement of unwanted development. Camden County realizes that employment gains are most likely to occur in the retail and service industry sectors and that such establishments will seek locations that provide high visibility, heavy traffic flow, and proximity to greater market ' concentrations. The county will rely on its existing land use and development ordinances to regulate these developments and will amend or modify existing regulations to impose greater ' control as the need arises. Implementation through 1992: During the planning period, the Board of Commissioners appointed ' an Industrial Development Committee to promote the County as an appealing location for new industry. The Committee's work thus far has contributed to the progress of the proposed water system improvements. The County is currently reviewing its Zoning Ordinance -- including analysis and discussion of commercial and ' industrial land requirements and options. Several small industries made informal inquiries about the possibility of locating in Camden County during the planning period. However, the lack of necessary infrastructure and the presence of environmentally fragile areas have served to discourage any additional significant action by industrial concerns. The Camden County School System continues to be the largest employer in the County. Further, County estimates place the percentage of citizens working outside of Camden County at between sixty and seventy percent. (b) Local Commitment to Providing Services for Development ' 2 - 12 1 Policy Adopted in 1988: Population densities in Camden County do not justify the enormous debt obligation required to provide public water and —sewer services on a county -wide basis. It shall be the county's policy to pursue water service for new and existing development by encouraging the extension of water services from existing nearby water systems. 1 Camden County shall continue to provide solid waste collection and disposal services to all developments in the county. Implementation through 1992: The County has obtained the necessary approvals to construct a $3.2 million water system in the southern end of the County. In November 1992, a referendum for a portion of the County resulted in citizen approval of the issuance of $1.6 million in general obligation bonds to be applied with an approximate $2.0 million grant for the project known as the south camden water system. Also, the County negotiated a water contract with the City of Elizabeth City. In addition, the County conducted discussions with the South Mills Water Association regarding a three -phased plan to include: • completion of the south camden water system; • interconnection of the south camden water system and that of the South Mills Water Association; and, • the construction of a water treatment facility to serve the entire County. The County initiated preliminary discussions with environmental agencies and the Economic Development Administration pertaining to wastewater treatment facilities in the Camden Point Shores area in conjunction with a development project estimated to cost approximately $1.0 million. Also, the County discussed the possibilities of a wastewater treatment system for the village of South Mills in conjunction with a Community Development Block Grant project presently underway in the Bloodfield area of the County. The County adopted the Camden County Solid Waste Management Ordinance on July 20, 1992 to regulate the storage, collection, and disposal of solid waste in Camden County. During the planning period, th consolidating and economizing converted from a county -wide d system revolving around three centers, located in the Shiloh 2 - 13 e County made great strides in its solid waste system. The County oor to door collection system to a recycling/convenience centers. The Township, the South Mills Township (c) (d) ' and at the Courthouse, cost a total of $52,000 to develop. Their impact has been largely responsible for reducing the County's solid waste budget in fiscal year 1990-1991, some $269,800, to $190,672 in fiscal year 1992-1993. Public education —programs have contributed to fact that on average, 28% of those persons using the recycling/convenience centers recycle at least some of their waste. In turn, this and other factors have helped to -� reduce the amount of waste taken to the Pasquotank County landfill; in 1992, by over one-half million pounds. Types of Urban Growth Patterns Desired t Policy Adopted in 1988: It shall be the policy of the Camden County Commission that to the maximum extent possible it will maintain the integrity of the existing Zoning Districts. , Implementation through 1992: The County continued to enforce current land use and development ' ordinances to regulate the location and density of development within its borders. Most lands not presently included in existing urban clusters are zoned for agricultural uses. ' Currently, any development of more than five lots must be presented to the Zoning Administrator for approval processing. Throughout the planning period, the County studied and discussed , ways to retain its rural atmosphere. Currently, the County is reviewing its Zoning Ordinance. Redevelopment of Developed Areas Policy Adopted in 1988: ' It shall be the policy of Camden County to seek financial assistance from all agencies providing assistance for the repair or reconstruction of privately owned dwelling units. The County ' will seek Community Development Block Grant assistance of the identified areas of substandard housing. The County will cooperate fully with Health Department officials to ensure that all future development occurs on lots of sufficient size to provide adequate sewage treatment, and will ' seek financial assistance from various State and Federal Agencies to correct existing hazards. 2 - 14 1 Implementation through 1992: The County obtained a Community Development Block Grant for housing renovations and wastewater system improvementr-in the Bloodfield section of South Mills. The County also adopted the Camden County Housing Code on May 15, 1989 and has since condemned some structures. Community leadership has been promoted by the creation of the Long Range Planning Committee and the Environmental Committee. (e) Tourism and Waterfront Access Policy Adopted in 1988: The County encourages the development of private or public access at the following sites: Old Shipyard Road, Neck Road, and at the end of Hwy 343. Implementation through 1992: To date, two privately funded accesses have been developed. These are located at the end of Milltown Road (SR 1113) and One Mill Road (SR 1101). The County's Subdivision Ordinance requires developers to set aside open space representing five percent of the water frontage of a subdivision if any portion of a subdivision fronts on the Albemarle Sound, the Pasquotank River, the North River, or any tributaries of the aforementioned. (f) Type of Densities, Location, Units Per Acre, Etc. of Anticipated Residential Development and Services Necessary to Support Such Development Policy Adopted in 1988: Present Camden County zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations do not permit residential development at densities greater than one unit per twenty thousand square feet. This shall continue to be the policy in Camden County. Implementation through 1992: Severe soil limitations in the County preclude development densities of more than one dwelling unit per acre in most portions of the County. The County enforced its Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance. In addition, regulations required that wells must be at least 100 feet from septic systems. 2 - 15 1 (g) Commitment to State and Federal Programs in the Area Policy Adopted in 1988: The County will selectively support state and federal programs related to Camden County. Implementation through 1992: The County cooperated with and supported various programs of state and federal agencies throughout the planning period; however, it opposed some programs that were mandated but were not funded by the state or federal government. (h) Energy Facility Siting and Development Policy Adopted in 1988: None. Implementation through 1992: None. (i) Package Treatment Plants Policy Adopted in 1988: The County will rely on the Division of Environmental Management to oversee the operation and management of all package treatment plants in the county. The County will investigate the possibility of using package treatment plants as a method of solving some of the severe sewage disposal problems in several of its communities. Implementation through 1992: The County has obtained a Community Development Block Grant of which $324,000 is earmarked for sewer related improvements. Currently, the County is compiling data to submit with a grant application for funds for wastewater facilities in the South Mills Township as well as investigating the possibility of providing wastewater treatment facilities in Camden Point Shores. (6) Storm Hazard Mitigation Policy Adopted in 1988: It will be the policy of Camden County to enforce all controls and regulations it deems necessary to mitigate the risk of severe storms and hurricanes to life and property. 2 - 16 Implementation through 1992: The County has has supported County adopted ' The County has process. enforced the State of North Carolina Building Code and the National Flood Insurance Program. in add+ti-on, the a Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance on November 18, 1991. supported C.A.M.A. and the 404 Wetland Development Permit In conjunction with Pasquotank County, the County has an Emergency Management Coordinator. Fire and rescue responses are dispatched along with those in Pasquotank County by the City of Elizabeth City. The members of the Local Emergency Planning Committee have been appointed and their responsibilities set forth. This committee is made up of individuals who reside in Camden County and Pasquotank County and will work with the North Carolina Department of Emergency Management.to formulate plans and procedures to mitigate the effects of emergency and natural disaster situations. 2 - 17 L ~ COUNTY OF CAMDEN 1993 Camden County Land Use Plan Update APPENDIX 3 COMPARISON OF 1986 CAMDEN LAND USE PLAN UPDATE POLICIES TO POLICIES OF NEIGHBORING LOCALITIES Prepared By: William C.

I 3. PUBLIC EDUCATION AND CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PLAN INTRODUCTION Rule .0207-Public Participation, Subchapter 7B, of the North Carolina Administrative Code, October 1989, requires localities to: ...employ a variety of education efforts and participation techniques to assure that all segments of the community have a full and adequate opportunity to be informed and to effectively participate in planning decision -making. The public education and citizen participation plan is designed to give the public an opportunity to voice its views on all required policy items throughout the 1993 Camden County Land Use Plan Update. As described herein, several public education and citizen participation strategies will be used by the County of Camden (County) to accomplish this objective and thus fulfill legal requirements. POLICY STATEMENT The County encourages public participation in all land use decisions and procedure development processes and encourages citizen input via its boards, commissions, and agencies. DESIGNATION OF PRINCIPAL LOCAL BOARD The County Planning Board is hereby designated as the principal local board responsible for supervision of the 1993 Camden County Land Use Plan Update. I 4. PUBLIC EDUCATION AND CITIZEN PARTICIPATION STRATEGIES; SCHEDULE I Citizen participation in the planning process promotes public education regarding land use issues, policy development, and regulatory procedures. The County will proceed from this premise, thereby furthering public education on planning issues while obtaining citizen input in developing land use plan policy statements and allowing for continued public participation in the planning process. To ensure that all economic, social, ethnic, and cultural view points are properly considered in the updating process, the County will utilize a variety of public education and citizen participation strategies including: a. Camden Survey - The results of a public opinion survey mailed to residents of the County in 1990 will be considered in the review and development of policies to be included in the 1993 Camden County Land Use Plan Update. 4-2 11 ' b. Direct Citizen Participation - At each regularly scheduled Planning Board Meeting throughout the update process, citizen participation will be encouraged and time will be allocated as appropriate for discussions concerning the land use 1)+an update involving citizens, the planning board, and staff. ' It is anticipated that these meetings will be held on: •January 25, 1993 •February 22, 1993 ' •March, 1993 •April 26, 1993 •May 24, 1993 •June 28, 1993 •July 26, 1993 .August 23, 1993 •September 27, 1993 ' •October 25, 1993 ' At the second of these meetings, scheduled for February 22, 1993, the Planning Board will discuss the land use plan update process, analyze the land use polices adopted in 1988, and assess ' implementation efforts as of 1992. At meetings in March, public input will be solicited from residents of the County's three townships: South Mills, ' Courthouse, and Shiloh. At these meetings, the Planning Board and citizens will begin to establish priorities with respect to ' land use issues to be addressed in the 1993 Camden County Land Use Plan Update. Public notice of the March meetings will be advertised at least one week in advance of meeting date. (Public notice flyers were also distributed to interested parties at the three refuse disposal sites in the County. See APPENDIX 6, pages ' 6-2 and 6-3.) C. Interest Group Participation - A number of groups, clubs, and organizations will be identified and invited to participate at the regularly scheduled planning board meetings. These include, but are not limited to the following: (1) South Mills Ruritan Club (2) Camden Lions Club (3) Camden County Industrial Development Committee (4) Camden County Long Range Study Committee (5) South Camden Ruritan Club Planning board members and staff will avail themselves of opportunities to meet and interact with these and others as invitations occur and schedules permit. 4-3 11 5. d.

Meeting notices will also be posted on bulletin boards and information desks where appropriate. Efforts will be made to attend civic club meetings and the like to further expose the planning process to the public. it 6. , DOCUMENTATION 1 Reference to this plan, a listing of meetings held during the land use plan update process, survey results, and an assessment as to the effectiveness and adequacy of the public education and citizen participation effort will be included as a part of the 1993 Camden County Land Use Plan Update. iJ 4-4 -- COUNTY OF CAMDEN -- 1993 Camden County Land Use Plan Update — ' APPENDIX 5 POST DISASTER AND RECOVERY PLAN SOURCE: 1986 Camden Land Use Plan Update, pages 80-82 ' 5-1 POST DISASTER AND RECOVERY PLAN I Camden County proposes the following Disaster Recovery Plan —as, a general ' outline of the procedures the County will follow in the event of a major disaster. The plan includes a timetable for carrying out recovery activities and a list of personnel who will be responsible for each component of the , plan. PURPOSE: This plan has been developed to provide for an orderly and coordinated recovery and reconstruction of areas of Camden County suffering the effects of a major disaster. The underlying goals of this plan are to ' minimize the hardships to affected residents, to restore and initiate reconstruction in a timely manner, and to reduce or eliminate any bottlenecks in securing Federal or State Disaster Assistance. ORGANIZATION: The Board of County Commissioners will function as the Camden County ' Recovery Task Force. The mission of the task force is to direct and control recovery activities and to formulate recovery polices as needed. SUPPORT TEAM: The County Commissioners will designate the following Recovery Support Team to assist in the implementation of this plan. The mission of the support team is to provide personnel and resources for the implementation of recovery activities as directed by the Recovery Task Force. ' SUPPORT TEAM COMPOSITION AND RESPONSIBILITIES Camden County Emergency Management Coordinator: To manage, control, and coordinate the efforts of the support team. Sheriff: To provide additional surveillance in the disaster area; to locate obstructions to traffic; and, to advise the County Manager of the location of downed transmission lines, ruptured waterlines, etc. ' Tax Supervisor: To provide and direct personnel in carrying out damage assessment; to prepare damage assessment reports for the Recovery Task Force; and, to revise property records. Building Inspector: To assemble personnel and to conduct a survey of ' structural conditions in the disaster area; to coordinate actions with the Tax Supervisor, and, to prepare structural damage reports and classifications of damages. 5 - 2 1 Social Services Director: To provide personnel to assist in finding shelter for persons who are homeless and to assist applicants in ' requesting aid from various state and federal agencies providing disaster relief. County Health Officer: To conduct damage assessment of on -site water supplies and sewage disposal systems; to prepare damage reports; and, to make recommendations concerning restoration and reuse of on -site systems. SCHEDULE OF ACTIVITIES Recovery activities will consist of preplanned activities that can begin immediately or as soon as is reasonably possible after the storm has passed and long-term, permanent reconstruction activities that will be begun once the extent of the damage is known. IMMEDIATE ACTION: revent. I 1. Declare a moratorium on all non -emergency repairs and development 2. Begin clean-up and debris removal 3. Coordinate the restoration and repair of electrical service to affected areas 4. Begin emergency repairs of essential public facilities 5. Maintain additional surveillance and extra security measures in affected areas 6. Deploy assessment teams 7. Prepare assessment reports These immediate actions should be completed within ten days of the storm LONG TERM RECONSTRUCTION ACTIONS: 8. Evaluate, classify, and map damages 9. Review of moratorium decision 10. Establish priorities for public facilities repair 11. Submit damage report to State and Federal agencies 12. Notify affected property owners of damage classifications and required repairs 13. Lift moratorium on repairs not requiring permits 14. Lift moratorium on siting of replacement mobile homes 15. Lift moratorium on conforming structures requiring major repairs 16. Assist affected property owners with damage registration and filing request for disaster relief 17. Negotiate with property owners needing improvements to on -site water and sewage systems 18. Lift moratorium on repairs and new development 19. On a case by case basis, the County will consider the acquisition of land that has been severely impacted by a storm and is deemed too hazardous to rebuild on. 5-3 The duration of the reconstruction and recovery period will depend on the nature and extent of the storm damage. Repairs of minor structural damages should be able to commence within two weeks of the storm event. DAMAGE ASSESSMENT As soon as possible after the storm, the assessment teams will be deployed to measure the extent and nature of the damages and to classify structural damages to individual structures. The inspection teams will consist of the County Building Inspector, the County Health Officer, and the Director of the County Water System. The assessment will not be detailed, but will provide an initial overview of the scope of storm damages, an inventory of affected properties, and preliminary assessments of the extent of damages to individual structures. Detailed inspections are being sacrificed in an effort to save time in beginning restoration activities and in securing disaster relief from various State and Federal Agencies offering financial assistance. DAMAGE CLASSIFICATIONS Structural damages will be classified in the following manner: Destroyed if estimated repair costs exceed 75% of assessed value Major Repairs if estimated repair costs exceed 30% of assessed value Minor Repair if estimated repair costs are less than 30% of assessed value RECONSTRUCTION DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS In general, all units requiring major repairs and all new construction shall comply with all development regulations in force at the time repair or new construction is initiated. This shall include compliance with all provisions of the building code governing construction in 100 mph wind velocity zones, all regulations concerning development in designated Special Flood Hazard Areas, and all Health Department Regulations regarding on -site septic systems. The lone exception to this general rule concerns the application of development restrictions on affected residential lots smaller than one acre (the minimum lot size required by the County Health Department). Where structures on these substandard sized lots have been classified as either "destroyed" or requiring "Major Repair" as a result of the storm drainage, the County shall make a determination concerning reconstruction and reuse with or without improvements to the on -site disposal system on a case basis. 5-4 1-1 L ,L L i ' DEVELOPMENT MORATORIA The immediate development moratoria will remain in effect until the assessment reports are completed and the scope and nature of the storm damage has been fully reviewed by the County Commission. The County Commission at that time may rescind or extend the duration of the moratoria based on their assessment of the situation. Such decisions of the Commission may affect all or any portion of the County. The purpose of the immediate moratoria is basically to relieve the work burden of the support team during the initial phase of the recovery period.
