1996 Land Use Plan
ADDENDUM, 1998
U
QEXPLANATION OF THE 1998 LAND USE PLAN ADDENDUM
The City of Havelock last updated its Land Use Plan in 1996. That plan was adopted by the City
of Havelock, and received certification by the Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) July 26,
1996. The "Land Use Planning Guidelines" outlined in Subchapter 7B of the North Carolina
Administrative Code (NCAC) requires that the Land Use Plan be updated by the local planning
jj unit and submitted for reapproval to the CRC within five years of adoption. The Coastal
j Resources Commission has requested the City of Havelock to update their Land Use Plan. This
request is due to recent changes in NCAC 7B (September 28, 1995) and the need to coordinate
Land Use Plan updates on a county -by -county basis, requiring all municipalities within a given
county, as well as the county, to update their plans at the same time. The primary reason for this
change is to create the opportunity for neighboring municipalities and the county in which they
are located to work together in the formulation of their plans.
This document will serve as an addendum to the 1996 Land Use Plan and will satisfy CAMA
planning requirements for- the next five years. This addendum addresses only the additional
requirements included in the revised NCAC 7B and provides more recent data where applicable.
This addendum does not address all of the topics covered in the 1996 Land Use Plan. However,
this addendum, in conjunction with the 1996 Land Use Plan Update, addresses all requirements
of the revised 7B planning guidelines.
The following additional requirements will need to be addressed in the policy statements of this
addendum:
-- A general vision policy statement describing the type of community
that the local government would like to become within the next ten
years.
a — A basic statement as to the community attitude toward resource
protection.
n -- A policy addressing the protection of wetlands identified as being
ll of the highest functional significance on maps supplied by the
Division of Coastal Management, where applicable.
A policy addressing moorings and mooring fields.
0 Explanation of 1998 Land Use Plan Addendum 1 1
111
A policy addressing water quality problems and management
measures designed to reduce or eliminate local sources of surface
water quality problems.
A statement as to the community attitude toward resource
production and management.
-- A statement as to the community attitude toward economic and
community development.
-- A policy addressing commitment to state and federal programs,
including housing rehabilitation, community development block
grants, housing for low and moderate income level citizens, water
and sewer installation, and rural water systems.
-- A policy addressing assistance to interstate waterways.
Since this document is intended to be used in conjunction with the 1996 Land Use Plan, page
numbers and subject headings correspond with the 1996 plan where changes to that plan text were
made. In some instances, new tables and pages have been added; these are noted as new tables
or pages. In addition, map numbers in the addendum do not always match with those in the 1996
plan because new maps with additional information are included in the addendum.

A. ESTABLISHMENT OF INFORMATION BASE
This 1998 Land Use Plan Addendum for the City of Havelock has been prepared in accordance
Q with requirements of the North Carolina Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA). Specifically,
this document complies with Subchapter 7B, "Land Use Planning Guidelines," of the North
Carolina Administrative Code, as amended, September 28, 1995.

u 1. REGIONAL AND COUNTY POPULATION (NEW SECTION)
QFifteen of the twenty Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA) regulated counties experienced a
net permanent population growth from 1990 to 1995. As Table 1 indicates, the five counties with
a negative population growth were Hertford, Hyde, Onslow, Tyrrell, and Washington.* During
the five-year period, Craven County ranked tenth in rate of population growth.

2. GEOGRAPHIC DISTRIBUTION OF CRAVEN COUNTY'S POPULATION-1970-1995
(NEW SECTION)
The most significant demographic trend in Craven County since 1970 has been an increase in
"urban" population. The U.S. Census classifies "urban" population as that portion of the
population living in incorporated municipalities or Census Designated Places (CDPs) with a
population of 2,500 or more. In 1995, Craven County's "urban" populace was located in
Havelock, New Bern, River Bend, and Trent Woods. These four areas had a combined population
of 49,554, or 57.7% of the total 1995 county population of 85,816. The 1990 Census year was
the first year that Craven County's designated urban population exceeded the rural population.
Table 2 depicts the geographic distribution of Craven County's population by municipality and
unincorporated areas in 1970, 1980, 1990 and 1995. During the twenty-five year.period, the
county's municipal population increased by 151.3 %, while the population located in
unincorporated areas decreased by 19.4 % . The major reason for the dramatic growth in municipal
population from 1970-1995 was the 1979 annexation of Cherry Point MCAS by the City of
Havelock, and the incorporation of River Bend. Havelock, River Bend, and Trent Woods have
displayed rapid municipal growth over the twenty-five year period.
Of the county's four "rural" municipalities, only Cove City and Vanceboro enjoyed population
growth from 1970-1995. While Bridgeton had a very slight population decrease from 1970-1995
(-0.7 %), Dover's population dropped by 21.7 % over the twenty-five year period.

The population growth of Havelock has been largely due to the military presence of the Marine
Corps Air Station at Cherry Point. Cherry Point was established in 1941 and was annexed by the
City of Havelock on December 28, 1979. Table 4 provides detailed population data for Havelock
and Cherry Point.

— significant land and water use compatibility problems;
— major problems that have resulted from unplanned development, and that have
implications for future land and water use;
-- an identification of areas experiencing or likely to experience changes in
predominant land uses including agricultural and forestry land being converted to
other uses.
This section of the Land Use Plan responds to this requirement. In addition, the city's current
land use -related ordinances are reviewed and the effectiveness of the 1993 Land Use Plan policies
is assessed. (NOTE: Sufficient time has not passed to allow assessment of the 1996 policy
statements.
There are 16,999 total acres within the City of Havelock and an additional 14,453 acres included
within the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction. The city's acreage total includes the Cherry Point
Marine Corps Air Station. The land use acreages are summarized in Table 7, and depicted on the
Existing Land Use Map, Map 1.

In terms of acreage, the dominant land use within the City of Havelock is the Cherry Point Marine
Corps Air Station. Residential land use constitutes the largest non-military land use. Within the
ETJ, the largest land use is the Croatan National Forest. Within the city's planning jurisdiction,
the composition and distribution of land uses have been strongly influenced by the Cherry Point
Marine Corps Air Station. Since the 1995 Base Realignment and Closure Commission decision,
the Department of the Navy has been charged with developing an Environmental Impact Statement
determining the feasibility of five separate F/A-18 squadron relocation scenarios. Two of the
scenarios evaluate the feasibility of locating squadrons to Marine Corps Air Station -Cherry Point.
Recent City of Havelock capital project and programming initiatives have resulted in providing
the necessary infrastructure and service levels to accommodate future expansion at Marine Corps
Air Station -Cherry Point. Further, these efforts have prepared the community to meet or exceed
the demands of expansion beyond those anticipated as a result of the implementation of either
Alterative Realignment Scenario Three or Alternative Realignment Scenario Five of the
Department of the Navy's Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) and Draft Clean Air Act
(CAA) Conformity Determination evaluating the realignment of F/A-18 aircraft and operational
functions from Naval Air Station (NAS) Cecil Field, Florida, to other Navy and Marine Corps
Air Stations on the east coast of the United States. Therefore, discussions concerning the F/A-18
Hornet jets in terms of land use issues, population projections, and infrastructure demands remain
relevant as a high growth scenario and have been left in this edition of the Land Use Plan.
RESIDENTIAL
In 1990, there were 6,072 dwelling units located within the City of Havelock. These included:
4,362 single-family site built structures, 479 mobile homes, and 1,231 multi -family dwelling
units. From 1990 to 1997, a total of 320 single-family building permits and 325 multi -family
building permits were issued. Thus, by - 1997 the dwelling unit total had reached approximately
6,717, a seven-year increase of 10.6%.
From 1987 to 1993, the majority of the city's residential construction has occurred in its eastern
areas along McCotter and Hollywood Boulevards and in the South Forest and Foxcroft
subdivisions. Since 1993, the residential construction has increased west of Havelock, including
Tucker Creek Estates. These areas are generally located on the existing land use map.
Since 1990, a total of 425 lots included in four major subdivisions have been approved for
development. These included the following:
1991 Mar-Stal Apartment Section III - 26 lots
1992 Village Park II - 22 lots
1995 Hills of Foxcroft Section III - 40 lots
1995 Christopher Downs Phase I - 16 lots
1995 Tyler Place - 60 lots
1995 Mar Beth - 50 lots
1995 Stone Bridge Landing - 19 lots
Section I: Analysis of Existing Conditions I-9 1
1995 Church Road - 16 lots
1996/7 Coley Wallace Subdivision - 2 lots
Hills of Foxcroft, Section 3, Phase 2 - 20 lots
Christopher Downs, Phase 2 - 33 lots
Tucker Creek Estates, Section 1 - 52 lots
Bonnie Boyd Subdivision - 3 lots
1998 Tucker Creek Estates, Section 2A - 31 lots
Tucker Creek Estates, Section 2B - 35 lots
Because of the uncertainty surrounding the expansion of the Marine Corps Air Station, residential
construction activity had slowed during the mid-1990's. However, from 1995 to 1997,
construction was accelerated.
Mobile homes comprise a large portion of the city's housing inventory and acreage. In 1997,
there were approximately 479 mobile homes located on 97 acres. Many of these units provide
lower cost housing for military personnel and are expected to continue. to comprise a large
percentage of the housing inventory.
The City of Havelock received a 1995 Community Development Block Grant of $250,000 to assist
in the construction of Tyler Place, which is intended to provide housing for tenant households with
less than 60 % median county income. The total cost for the project was approximately $3.2
million. Tyler Place is located on a 6.7 acre site located just south of Highway 70 on the west
side of SSR 1756 (Lake Road). A total of seven individual buildings are included. This project
will be a significant help in meeting the housing needs of Havelock's low to moderate income
population.
Because of the location of the Croatan National Forest south and southwest of the city, it is
expected -that residential development will increasingly spread to the north and northwest along
the U.S. 70 corridor. This will stimulate a demand for the extension of city utilities. In addition,
this may stimulate annexation and expansion of the city's ETJ. If Cherry Point Marine Corps Air
Station is expanded to accommodate the 140 F/A-18 Hornet jets from Cecil Field, the impact on
residential development and the associated demand for standard affordable housing will be
substantial.
I-22.
2. COMMERCIAL AND SERVICES
The commercial and services land use category within the city includes 390 acres of land. From
1987 to 1993, this land use category only increased 18 acres. Since 1993, approximately 34 acres
have been added.
The city's commercial and service land uses are primarily stretched out along U.S. 70 through
most of Havelock. There is not a traditional compact central business district. This configuration
encourages vehicular traffic and adds to congestion along U.S. 70. A secondary area of
Section I: Analysis of Existing Conditions I-10 ,
commercial land use has developed at the N.C. 101/McCotter Boulevard intersection and is
spreading along portions of McCotter Boulevard.
a In past Land Use Plans, concern has been expressed over revitalization of the ci 's commercial
P P t1'
areas. As the age of the commercial structures increases and buildings deteriorate, redevelopment
will continue to be an issue. There is very little vacant land located along the U.S. 70 corridor.
Thus, new businesses desiring to locate in Havelock will be encouraged to acquire developed
properties and either renovate existing structures or replace them with new structures.
Within the citys northwest ETJ, there has been very little commercial development. It is
expected to change as growth continues. Commercial development of the U.S. 70 corridor north
of the city will be encouraged by the lack of vacant property within the city suitable for
commercial development.
I-22.
3. INDUSTRIAL
Within the City of Havelock, there are only 26 acres of industrial land use. The privately
developed Havelock Industrial Park is located east of Havelock adjacent to N.C. 101. The 80 acre
a park has two developed parcels, leaving approximately 72 acres available for development. In.
the early 1990's, there were water pressure problems in the park. The city corrected these
problems by securing a community development economic development grant in 1994 which
funded the construction of a 400,000 gallon elevated water tank off N.C. 101 to serve the park.
Within the ETJ, there are approximately 40 acres of industrial property. This property is located
Qon one site west of Havelock and adjacent to S.R. 1756.
The Craven County Economic Development Commission and Havelock Regional Development
Corporation are actively and aggressively recruiting new industry. It is expected that this effort
will yield results. Care should be taken to protect the park from conflicting land uses. Expansion
of the city's industrial base is important to decreasing economic dependency on the Cherry Point
QMarine Corps Air Station.
I-23.
4. GOVERNMENT AND INSTITUTIONAL
The government and institutional category includes 185 acres. This category primarily includes
the City of Havelock property, Havelock Parks and Recreation office, and the Craven County
Board of Education property which includes seven school sites. (The Marine Corps Air Station
a property is categorized separately.) In April, 1998, the U.S. Postal Service announced the
construction of a new post office on the U.S. 70 West service road at the intersection with Timber
Drive. At the time of plan preparation, the City of Havelock was considering relocation of
planning and public works departments. Other than the need for replacement/renovation, there
were no significant problems associated with the government and institutional land use category.

I-23.
7. TRANSPORTATION. COMMUNICATIONS. AND UTILITIES
This category includes street and utility rights -of -way necessary to the provision of
infrastructure and the interstate waterway which is an important economic asset for Craven County
and its municipalities. Within the city, there are approximately 685 acres included in this
category. The right-of-way acreage within the ETJ has not been defined. The major issues in this
category are:
— Implementation of the City of Havelock thoroughfare plan.
-- Construction of bridges over Slocum Creek on both the east and west access roads
along Highway 70. (1)
-- Cunningham Boulevard extension. (2)
-- Extension of Greenfield Heights Boulevard. (3)
-- Construction of a U.S. 70 City of Havelock bypass. (4)
-- Maintenance of the interstate waterway.
The locations of issues 1-4, identified in parenthesis above, are indicated on Map 2.

10. BASINWIDE WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT (NEW SECTION)
The North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) has initiated a basinwide approach to
state water quality management. The overall goal of basinwide management is to develop
consistent and effective long range water quality management strategies that protect the quality
and intended uses of North Carolina's surface waters while accommodating population increases
and economic growth.
The State of North Carolina has been divided into seventeen major river basins. Eight of North
Carolina's major river basins cross the coastal area: Lumber, Cape Fear, White Oak, Neuse, Tar -
Pamlico, Roanoke, Chowan, and Pasquotank. The Division of Water Quality has further
subdivided these basins into smaller "sub -basins," which are currently used as the foundation for
their basinwide water quality plans. Even smaller watersheds were recently delineated for the
entire state by the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. These watersheds are referred
to as "14-digit hydrologic units" (because of the unique 14-digit code assigned to each watershed)
or simply "small watersheds." . These small watersheds generally range in size from 5,000 to
50,000 acres. For each river basin, water quality problems are identified and appropriate
management strategies developed. The plan features basinwide permitting of pollution discharges,
integration of existing point and non -point source control programs, and preparation of a
basinwide management plan report.

The purpose of the basinwide management plan is to communicate to policy makers; the regulated
community, and the general public, the state's rationale, approaches, and long-term strategies for
each basin. Preparation of a basinwide management plan is a five year process. In general, this
process involves the following five major phases of development:
-- Collecting pertinent water quality and related information,
-- Analyzing the information and targeting problem areas,
-- Developing management strategies,
-- Circulating a draft plan for public review and comment, and
-- Finalizing the plan.
Craven County is located in the Neuse, Tar -Pamlico, and White Oak river basins. All of the
Havelock planning jurisdiction is located in the Neuse River Basin. The majority of the county
is located in the Neuse River basin as well. The Tar -Pamlico and White Oak Basinwide
Management Plans received NCDWQ approval in 1994 and January, 1997, respectively. The
Neuse plan was approved in March, 1993, but the plan was undergoing revision in 1997.
North Carolina has adopted a "basinwide" approach to water quality management. Basinwide
management plans are created for each of the major river basins within the state; these plans are
updated every five years. Each river basin plan summarizes information from a wide variety of
sources -surface water quality measurements, fish samples, and point source discharge records -to
assess the quality of fresh and estuarine surface waters of the state. Through the basinwide
planning process, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) identifies water quality problems, and
where possible, the degradation or pollution source.
Few local governments have the resources to conduct significant water quality monitoring and
analysis programs. Basinwide plans can be a useful source of information for use in county and
local land use planning. They provide descriptions of the water quality problems that are found
within the basin, along with a comprehensive list of state and federal programs which can assist
in resolving those problems. Because basinwide plans comprehensively assess water quality issues
by river basin, they provide local governments a context for local water quality problems. The
relative contribution of pollution sources -point versus non -point sources, local versus upstream -is
more easily understood within the context of the entire river basin. For instance, although point
sources are a visible pollution source, non -point sources such as sedimentation and nutrients in
surface runoff are typically a greater water quality problem in coastal North Carolina. A better.
understanding of this mix of sources within the local watershed allows a more efficient use of local
efforts and funds in addressing water quality concerns. Since the basinwide plans are the basis
for DWQ's decisions, they provide local governments with an indication of future Division of
Water Quality actions on local issues, such as the expansion of a municipal waste water treatment
plant.

10. EXISTING ORDINANCES AND LAND USE CONTROLS
The City of Havelock has maintained a "conservative" approach to Land Use Planning and
regulations. The city supports planning through a full-time planning staff and active planning
board. The patterns of past and future development are greatly influenced by the Marine Corps
Air Station. Decisions regarding the expansion of the base have caused the residential market to
strengthen due to the influx of Marine personnel. These impacts are caused by the federal
government. The City of Havelock has no say in the development and/or growth of the base.
However, it should be noted that the city fully and wholeheartedly supports the expansion of the
facility.
The following provides a summary of the city's land use -related codes and ordinances.
(NEW SECTION)
City of Havelock Zoning Ordinance
The City of Havelock has a comprehensive zoning ordinance which regulates land use within the
city and its extraterritorial jurisdiction. It is enforced by the city's Director of Inspections or a
designated administrative officer. The ordinance includes seven residential zoning districts, two
commercial districts, two industrial districts, and an agricultural zoning district. The ordinance
was undergoing a complete rewrite during 1997-98.

7. MANMADE HAZARDS
Within Havelock, the primary manmade hazards are the Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station
and the Atlantic and East Carolina Railroad which serves the county. This railroad often provides
a the transport of toxic and hazardous materials, such as jet fuel, through Havelock to the North
Carolina State Port at Morehead City.

Title III of the Federal Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA Title III) included
requirements for emergency planning, emergency notification, and chemical reporting.
Specifically, this 1986 legislation was entitled the Emergency Planning and Community Right -to -
Know Act (also referred to as EPCRA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has
developed regulations corresponding to the EPCRA Congressional legislation. The regulations
include six distinct reporting or notification requirements that may impact facilities.
One section of the EPA regulations requires that facilities report certain chemical substances
located on site. Specifically, under this regulatory requirement, facilities with chemicals on the
EPA's list of Extremely Hazardous Substances present in a quantity equal to or in excess of their
established Threshold Planning Quantity or a 500-pound threshold (whichever number is less), as
well as any hazardous chemical present on site in a quantity equal or greater to 10,000 pounds
must be included on an annual report called the Tier II. This report must be submitted by March
1 of each year to the North Carolina Emergency Response Commission, the local Emergency

L Natural Resource Fragile Areas
Natural resource fragile areas are generally recognized to be of educational, scientific, or
cultural value because of the natural features of the particular site. Features in these areas serve
to distinguish them from the vast majority of the landscape.
These areas include complex natural areas, areas that sustain remnant species, pocosins,
wooded swamps, prime wildlife habitats, or registered natural landmarks. Havelock's planning
jurisdiction includes both regional and state natural heritage priority areas. Havelock's natural
heritage priority areas are located in the Croatan National Forest and in the hardwood swamps of
Slocum and Hancock Creeks.
The North Carolina Natural Heritage Program of the Division of Parks and Recreation
works to identify and facilitate protection of the most ecologically significant natural areas
remaining in the state. Natural areas may be identified because they provide important habitats
for rare species or because they contain outstanding examples of the rich natural diversity of this
state.
Natural area inventories are often conducted county by county. Permission from
landowners is obtained before field work is undertaken. The information collected is important
for Land Use Planning, especially planning for natural area conservation and greenways. High
quality natural areas are valuable resources that make North Carolina and its counties attractive
to live in and to visit. In addition to their educational and cultural uses, natural areas are
ri important reservoirs of native plants and animals and are key resources for recreation.
Among coastal counties, preliminary natural area inventories were completed for ten
counties during 1980-82. These inventories were conducted for Brunswick, Carteret, Craven,
Dare, Gates, Hyde, Pamlico, Pender, Tyrrell, and Washington counties under the Coastal Energy
Impact Program of Coastal Management. More thorough inventories were conducted for the
northeastern coastal counties as part of the Albemarle -Pamlico Estuarine Study during 1989-1993.
In 1995, a much more in-depth survey was conducted for Brunswick County; a similar inventory
is currently underway for Onslow County.
These inventories are funded with grants from the Natural Heritage Trust Fund which are
used to match local funding. The inventories generally take 18-24 months to complete and cost
approximately $30,000. CAMA planning grants may be considered for part of the local match.

g. Marine Resources
Slocum Creek is an inland primary nursery area. In addition, the upper reaches of Slocum
Creek and some of the creek's tributaries are anadromous fish spawning areas. An anadromous
fish is defined as one which migrates upriver from the sea to breed in freshwater.
- The North Carolina Division of Water Quality assigns quality classifications to all waters
of the State of North Carolina. The schedule of classifications for Havelock is provided by 15
NCAA 2B. The classifications are based upon existing or contemplated best usage of the various
streams and segments of streams within a basin, as determined through studies, evaluations, and
comments received at public hearings. The state classifies tidal salt waters as follows:
Class SA: shell fishing for market purposes and any other usage specified by
the "SB" and "SC" classification;
Class SB: primary recreation and any other usage specified by the "SC"
classification;
Class SC: aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, and
secondary recreation;
Swamp Waters: (Sw) Waters which have low velocities and other natural
characteristics which are different from adjacent streams;
Within Havelock's jurisdiction the waters of the Neuse River are classified as SB. The
waters of Hancock Creek and its tributaries are classified as SC. Two areas in the extreme upper
end of Slocum Creek are classified C. The remaining waters of Slocum Creek and its tributaries
are classified SC. Map 4 provides a general delineation of the water classifications. The written
descriptions provided by 15 NCAC 2B must be relied upon for specific locations.
Surface waters (streams, lakes or estuaries) are related as either supporting (S), support -
threatened (ST), partially supporting (PS), or non -supporting (NS). These terms refer to whether
the classified uses of the water (such as water supply, aquatic life protection, and swimming) are
being fully supported, partially supported, or are not supported. If the waters were impacted to
the points that even swimming were disallowed, the waters would be rated as non -supporting.
Streams rated as either partially supporting or non -supporting are considered impaired. The
support -threatened category for freshwater rivers and streams refers to those waters classified as
good -fair based on water quality data, in contrast to excellent or good which are considered fully
supporting. An overall fully supporting rating, however, does include both fully supporting and
support threatened waters. Streams which had no data to determine their use support are listed
as non -evaluated (NE). Except for some tributaries, all waters of the Neuse River and Slocum
and Hancock Creeks are support -threatened and nutrient sensitive waters.

In addition, the state has supplemental classifications to the primary classifications. The
supplemental classifications include: outstanding resource waters, trout waters, nutrient sensitive
waters (NSW), swamp waters, and future water supply. All waters within Havelock's planning
jurisdiction are classified as nutrient sensitive waters. These are waters which need additional
nutrient management due to their being subject to excessive growth of microscopic and
macroscopic vegetation. Within these waters, no increase of nutrients over, background levels
shall be permitted. However, domestic and industrial wastewater discharges are allowed.

G. DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINTS: PUBLIC FACILITIES
4. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL
The City of Havelock only handles yard trimmings, used furniture, and used appliances. A
contract was established with the Craven County landfill and a private hauler (ARS) to take care
of all other solid waste. The city deposits the furniture and appliances at a transfer station
between Havelock and New Bem, and deposits the yard trimmings at a composting site in New
Bern.
Craven County is responsible for its own solid waste disposal. The county contracts with a private
firm for once per week curbside collection for the unincorporated and small incorporated areas.
Although the county's landfill at Tuscarora is not scheduled to reach its physical capacity for
several years, the landfill was officially closed in October, 1993. This was a Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) imposed deadline after which there would be substantial
liability for solid waste dumped at that site. The interim regional landfill, which is physically
adjacent to the Tuscarora location, will be utilized by Pamlico and Carteret counties as well as
Craven County, and will have a 4 to 5 year life expectancy. During the planning period, the
Coastal Regional Solid Waste Management Authority will expand the landfill, while continuing
to explore available options.
In FY93-94, the Coastal Regional Solid Waste Management Authority received no additional
monies in revenue bonds for operating costs. The $27 million received in FY92-93 was utilized
to help cover the cost of expanding the interim landfill. The Solid Waste Management Authority
is operating solely through collection fees.
From fiscal year 1991/1992 to fiscal year 1995/1996 the county's annual volume of waste
decreased from 86,549.01 to 60,277.04, a 41.75% decrease. This is probably attributable to
fluctuations in military personnel. Table 9 provides a summary of the data.

5. TRANSPORTATION
a. Roads
Map 5 provides average daily traffic (ADT) counts compiled by the North Carolina
Department of Transportation for 1996 in Havelock. The map indicates that ADT volume on
U.S. 70 immediately north of the U.S. 70 and N.C. 101 intersection is the highest in Havelock's
planning area. An average of 34,900 cars traveled that section of the highway. This is higher
than the 1994 count of 33,400 for the same location. Other particularly high volume areas are
U.S. 70 south of the U.S. 70 and Cunningham Drive intersection (34,900), and U.S. 70 just south
of the U.S. 70 and Church Road intersection (26,700). The 1994 counts for these areas were
33,600 and 25,500 respectively. U.S. 70 is not only the main route between Havelock and New
Bern, but is also part of a major transportation corridor from the Atlantic Coast to Raleigh.

9. HEALTH SERVICES
All hospital needs are treated at Craven Regional Medical Center in New Bem, approximately 15
miles away. This is an acute -care facility that provides adequate major health care services to
(� Craven County residents. The 314-bed facility is staffed with approximately 1,400 full and part-
time employees. An expansion of the hospital to include the addition of an endoscopy facility,
an administration facility, and a floor for nursing care was completed in 1996. These additions
will not increase staff or bed capacity; however, they will allow for sections to be moved and
renovated.
{� Naval Hospital Cherry Point is also a significant major medical provider for the Havelock area.
U On October 1, 1994, a new three-story, 201,000 square foot structure was dedicated as the new
Naval Hospital Cherry Point. This facility is equipped with several outpatient clinics, 23 beds for
inpatients, a state-of-the-art emergency room, and a family practice clinic. It employs 452
persons, 110 of whom are civilians, 75 of whom are military officers, and contracts several
important services to private consultants. In addition to its modem medical equipment and
facilities, the hospital generates its own steam and contains emergency generators and food stores.
In the event of a disaster, this enables the hospital to be self-sufficient for up to two weeks.
(1 In addition, there are private medical clinics and physicians operating within the city. These
j facilities include East Carolina Internal Medicine, Coastal Children's Clinic, and Pinnacle Health
Care. The nursing home facility, operated by Britthaven, has recently been awarded fifty
additional beds.

�j 1. DEMOGRAPHIC TRENDS
n The City of Havelock 1993 CAMA Land Use Plan Update indicated a population increase to
u 23,820 by the year 2000. In 1995, North Carolina Office of State Planning population estimates
indicated an increase in population from 20,300 in 1990 to 21,042 in 1995. However, the state's
forecast, with no base loading, indicated a decrease to 19,783 by 2000 and 19,520 by 2005.
Concurrent with the preparation of the 1993 Land Use Plan, the 1993 Base Closure and
Realignment Commission (BRAC) recommended that approximately 168 Navy F/A 18 Hornet jets
be relocated from Cecil Field, Florida, to Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station. Subsequently,
in the spring of 1995, this number was reduced to approximately 140 jets. In July, 1995, the Base
Realignment and Closure Commission announced that the F/A 18 Hornet jets from Cecil Field,
Florida, would not be relocated to Cherry Point. However, local government supports future
expansion of the base and anticipates that during the planning period other additional personnel
will be coming to Cherry Point. Therefore, discussions concerning the F/A 18 Hornet jets in
terms of land use issues, population projections, and infrastructure demands remain relevant as
a high growth scenario and have been left in this edition of the Land Use Plan.
In addition, the Naval Aviation Depot (NADEP) was expected to increase its personnel as the
result of the realignment of workload from the Alameda, California; Pensacola, Florida; and
Norfolk, Virginia, NADEP's. The 1993 Land Use Plan recognized this potential growth in
military/civilian personnel, but did not include it in the population forecasts or the demand
capacity analysis.
This Land Use Plan update has been undertaken to reflect the impact of any personnel/operations
activity increase at the Air Station. However, because the level of growth was uncertain at the
time of plan preparation, three population forecast scenarios were developed. These included:
(1) no additional Cherry Point Marine Corp Air Station personnel, (2) a low growth scenario
resulting from the addition of 2,400 NADEP-related civilian personnel and dependents, and (3)
a high growth scenario resulting from the addition of 12,000 military personnel and dependents
associated with the relocation of F/A 18 Hornet jets to Cherry Point. The three population
forecasts for Craven County, each township, and each municipality are included in Tables 12
through 14. Based on the current distribution of Cherry Point military and civilian personnel, it
was estimated that 75 % of all military personnel and dependents and 50 % of all civilian and
secondary job population would reside in Craven County. Based on current living patterns, the
personnel/dependents were distributed within the county as follows: Township 6 - 50 %, Township
#8 - 20 %, Township #7 - 15 %, Township #5 - 10 %, and Township #2 - 5 %.

7. EDUCATION
LJ It is expected that the Craven County School Board will construct a new Havelock middle school
during the planning period. In 1997-1998, one of the five elementary schools was over capacity.
(� Thus, the need for the additional elementary school is immediate.
The following analysis of impact on the Craven County School System from the high military
(� growth scenario is included in the 1995 Craven County Land Use Plan.
"Based on the anticipated NADEP expansion and the Cecil Field realignment of
168 F-18 Hornet jets, and accompanying personnel, the military prepared estimates
u of school -age children to be added to impacted school systems. In 1995, the
anticipated number of F-18's has been reduced to 140. As a "crude" indicator of
school system impact, the military's original forecast has been proportionately
reduced to reflect 140 F-18's (a 17 % reduction). The following provides a
summary of the incoming Craven County school -age children based on 140 F-18's:
DElementary School 964
Middle School 298
High School 209
n Total 1,471
,u! In 1997-1998, twelve of the county's schools were over capacity. Two of the
elementary schools were over capacity. However, five new schools and
renovations/additions at all existing schools will -reduce the existing capacity
deficiencies. The increase in school -age children resulting from Cherry Point
expansion would result in a 9.95 % increase in school enrollment. Most of this
increase should be expected to occur in the elementary schools, where 964 students
would be added. "
This increase in school enrollment may be expected to place a heavy burden on the schools located
within Havelock's planning jurisdiction.
II-9.
8. SEWER SYSTEM
During the planning period, the city's wastewater treatment plant must be improved and expanded
because of more stringent requirements established by the current NPDES permit and increased
populating resulting from Cherry Point growth. The plant previously had a design capacity of 1.5
million gallons per day (mgd) and a peak flow capacity of 2.25 mgd. An expansion of the plant
was completed in February, 1998. The design and peak flow capacity increased to 1.9 and 2.4
,mgd, respectively. Wastewater effluent from the plant is currently land applied to farmland
Section II: Projected Land Development Analysis II-5
located in Jones County. However, this disposal site is in the process of closing. The new site
will be located in Jones County near the Town of Pollocksville.
Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point operates and maintains its own wastewater collection and
treatment systems. With recent upgrades to the treatment plant, the WWTP has a design capacity
of 3.5 mgd and a peak hydraulic flow capacity of 7.5 mgd. Wastewater effluent is discharged to
the Neuse River under NPDES permit no. NC0003816. A collection system infiltration and,
inflow elimination program provides for the identification and elimination of stormwater flows.
to the wastewater system, and a biological nutrient reduction program is in place to improve
nitrogen removal efficiencies at the plant. A project to upgrade the the biosolids treatment system
is currently under design. This project will reduce the time for biosolids treatment as well as
improve sludge handling operations. Biosolids produced at the plant are land applied at permitted
land application sights aboard the Air Station. Recently a Golf Course irrigation system has been
installed utilizing treated effluent for watering the course. Approximately 100,000 GPD is
diverted from the Neuse River discharge for this purpose.
Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point operates and maintains a separate industrial wastewater
pretreatment system. Upgrades have recently been completed to bring the design capacity to 0.63
mgd and the peak flow capacity to 0.91 mgd. Plant sludge is dewatered and disposed of by
contract at an approved- hazardous waste treatment facility located in South Carolina.
H-10.
9. WATER SYSTEM
The existing City of Havelock water system has a 1.2 million gallon surplus capacity. If the high
military growth scenario occurs, approximately 100,000 additional gallons of water per day may
be needed. Thus, it appears that the City of Havelock has adequate water capacity to
accommodate the high growth scenario.
Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point maintains and operates a 6.0 mgd water treatment plant
which receives groundwater from 26 active wells located within the Air Station. Completed in
December 1995, the WTP processes include precipitive softening, ozonation, granular media
filtration, and chlorine disinfection. Water storage consists of six elevated steel tanks which
provide an aggregate storage volume of 2.0 million gallons. A project to construct a raw water
aeration system is currently under construction. This process unit will reduce iron, manganese
and hardness, and reduce the oxidant demand of the water.
Although it has been determined that both the City of Havelock and MCAS Cherry Point will have
an adequate water capacity to meet demand during the planning period, close monitoring of well
yields is needed to prevent salt water intrusion. This is especially true during the peak summer
months when wells often pump at significantly higher than average rates. If salt water intrusion
occurs in a particular well, it essentially cannot be removed and may potentially contaminate other
wells due to their proximity. When salt water intrusion occurs in a well, it must either be
abandoned and a new well drilled, or a desalinization plant constructed. Both alternatives are very
expensive and should be avoided.
Section II: Projected Land Development Analysis 11-6 1
II-10.
10. STORM DRAINAGE
With or without expansion of the Cherry Point Marine Corps Air Station, management of
stormwater runoff will remain an important issue in the City of Havelock. Improvement of water
quality in the Trent and Neuse Rivers and adjoining tributaries is important to both the tourist and
fishing industries. Urban development, industrial, and agricultural runoff are all contributors to
water pollution. There is no single culprit. If the high military growth scenario occurs, the
primary impact on stormwater runoff will result from residential and industrial construction and
(j on -base military construction.
As urban development continues in Havelock's planning jurisdiction, so will the construction of
impervious and semi -permeable surfaces, and the potential for surficial water contamination will
increase. Given that fact, it is recommended that the city strongly support existing Division of
Water Quality regulations (15 NCAC 2H.1000) during the planning period. The city should also
participate in and contribute to studies of storm drainage undertaken by public and private
agencies, support United States Department of Agriculture Best Management Practices for
(? croplands, and work closely with the Division of Marine Fisheries to protect primary and
j J secondary nursery areas. The city's primary nursery areas are located in Slocum Creek. Caution
should be taken to protect these areas from surficial water contamination.
II-11.
12. POLICE. FIRE, AND RESCUE SERVICES
The City of Havelock has 32 sworn public safety officers. This represents a ratio of one police
officer per each 900 in population. This is slightly below the state municipal average of 1.5
officers per 1,000 persons. Based on the state average and the no base loading public population
forecast, a total of 29 public safety officers should be provided in 2005. In the high growth
scenario, a total of 39 public safety officers should be provided in 2005.
The fire and rescue facilities are currently considered adequate to serve the city's needs during the
planning period. However, during the planning period, the volunteer EMT's may have to be
replaced with paid EMT's. If approved in the 1998-1999 budget, a full-time paid fire chief will
be added.
Section II: Projected Land Development Analysis II-7 1

E. CONTINUING PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
As the initial step in the preparation of this addendum, the City of Havelock prepared and adopted
a "Citizen Participation Plan. " The plan outlined the methodology for citizen involvement
(Appendix II). Public involvement was generated through public information meetings and
development of the plan by the Havelock Planning Board.
A public information meeting was conducted at the outset of the project on November 24, 1997,
at 7:15 p.m., in the City Hall Auditorium. Subsequently, meetings of the Planning Board were
held on January 6, 1998; February 3, 1998; and May 5, 1998. All meetings were advertised and
open to the public.
