A. INTRODUCTION
In fiscal year 1997-98, the City of Washington received a planning and management grant
from the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Division
of Coastal Management. The state grant was for $6,700 which was matched by $3,300 in City
of Washington funds. Thus, the total project cost was $10,000. The purpose of the grant is to
assist the City of Washington in the preparation of a comprehensive waterfront planning and
management study. It is intended that this study primarily focus on improving shoreline access.
B. PROJECT OBJECTIVES
1. Develop a shoreline access plan which is consistent with the city's FY97-98
CAMA Land Use Plan.
2. Develop a shoreline access plan which supports 15A NCAC 7M.0300.
3. Identify sites which provide for public access and adequate parking so as to
achieve maximum public use.
4. The primary objective of Washington's public access program is to provide
pedestrian access. If, however, the preponderance of a proposal is pedestrian
oriented, boating and fishing facilities may be included, provided pedestrian
access is the primary objective.
5. The city will consider the following guidance in determining public access. The
recommended frequency is as follows:
(a) Local Access Sites -- one per block. Local access sites are defined to
include those public access points which offer minimal or no facilities.
They are primarily used by pedestrians who reside within a few hundred
yards of the site. Generally, these accessways are a minimum of ten feet
in width and provide only a dune crossover or pier, if needed, litter
receptacles, and public access signs. Vehicle parking is generally not
available at these access sites. However, bicycle racks may be provided.
(b) Neighborhood Access Sites -- one per 50 dwelling units. Neighborhood
access sites are defined as those public access areas offering parking,
usually for five to 25 vehicles, a dune crossover or pier, litter receptacles,
and public access signs. Such accessways are typically 40 to 60 feet in
width and are primarily used by individuals within the immediate
subdivision or vicinity of the site. Restroom facilities may be installed.
(c) Regional Access Sites -- one per local government jurisdiction. Regional
access sites are of such size and offer such facilities that they serve the
public from throughout an island or community including day visitors.
These sites normally provide parking for 25 to 80 vehicles, restrooms, a
dune crossover, pier, foot showers, litter receptacles, and public access
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 1 -

signs. Where possible, one-half acre of open space in addition to all
required setback areas should be provided for buffering, day use, nature
study, or similar purposes.
(d) Multi -Regional Access Sites -- one per coastal county. Parking facilities
for these projects shall be based on seasonal population estimates. Multi -
regional access sites are generally larger than regional accessways but
smaller than state parks. Such facilities may be undertaken and
constructed with the involvement and support of state and local
government agencies. Multi -regional accessways provide parking for a
minimum of 80 and a maximum of 200 cars, restrooms with indoor
showers and changing rooms, and concession stands. Where possible, two
acres of open space in addition to all required setback areas should be
provided for buffering, day use, nature study, or similar purposes.
C. CITY OF WASHINGTON SHORELINE ASSETS
The City of Washington is blessed with extensive shoreline assets. These include both
natural and manmade features and are summarized as follows:
H Pamlico/Tar River.
H The hardwood swamps on the south side of the Pamlico/Tar River and the Tar
River National Heritage Priority Area.
H US 17 bridge and causeway.
H Stewart Parkway and recreation area.
H John Haven Moss Mill.
H Washington Civic Center.
H North Carolina Estuarium.
H Pamlico River Islands (Castle Island).
H Havens Gardens.
H City of Washington Historic District.
H Tranters Creek N.C. wildlife boat ramp.
H Washington Central Business District.
H City of Washington Greenway System.
H Carolina Winds Yacht Club.
H City of Washington Stewart Parkway Bulkhead Boat Dock.
These assets deserve further description. Map 1 provides the locations of the facilities.
Pamlico/Tar River - The Pamlico/Tar River provides a beautiful natural backdrop for the
development of Washington's shoreline. The river comprises a significant part of North
Carolina's estuarine system. All waters of the Tar/Pamlico River above the north/south
railroad bridge at the City of Washington are inland waters and all waters below the
bridge are coastal waters. The waters of the Tar River (above the US 17 bridge) are
classified C (secondary recreation and other uses except primary recreation and water
supply/food related uses), and the waters of the Pamlico River (below the US 17 bridge)
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 2 -

are classified SC (fish/wildlife propagation, secondary recreation, and other uses
requiring lower quality water). All waters within the Pamlico River are rated as partially
supporting waters. This means that the river is only partially supporting for uses such
as water supply, swimming, and aquatic life protection. Thus, the river's water quality
has been compromised.
Hardwood Swamps -- The hardwood swamps located along the Tar/Pamlico River are
a significant natural resource. They provide valuable animal habitat access as well as a
scenic addition to the city's riverfront area. Portions of these hardwood swamps have
been designated by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program of the North Carolina
Division of Parks and Recreation as a priority natural area (see Map 1). These natural
resource priority areas have been identified because they provide important habitats for
rare species or because they contain outstanding examples of the rich natural diversity
of North Carolina.
US 17 Bridge and Causeway -- The US 17 bridge and causeway are part of a major
coastal highway and funnel traffic through the city's riverfront area. They afford scenic
views of the city's riverfront area. For years the bridge and causeway have provided
access to the river for local fishermen.
Stewart Parkway and Recreation Area -- Stewart Parkway is one of the most important
streets in Washington. It provides the city's Central Business District focal point along
the river and views of the city's shoreline and historic downtown. The parkway area
includes a pedestrian promenade which extends along the bulkhead located on the river's
north shore.
John Haven Moss Mill -- The John Haven Moss Mill is a local landmark located on the
north shoreline between the US 17 bridge and the western end of Stewart Parkway. The
building has a commanding location on the waterfront. While not listed on the National
Register of Historic Sites, the building is located within the Washington historic district
and is included on the state's list of sites under consideration for inclusion on the
National Register of Historic Places.
Washington Civic Center -- In 1986, the City of Washington converted the 1906 Atlantic
Coastline Railroad Station to the Washington Civic Center Complex. The old depot
portion of the facility was renovated in 1993 to house the Beaufort County Arts Council.
The Civic Center Complex contains 10,980 square feet. Approximately 4,000 square
feet are located in the adjacent Senior Resource Center. The Civic Center Complex
accommodates a variety of cultural activities.
North Carolina Estuarium -- In 1997-98, the North Carolina Estuarium was constructed
along the Pamlico River waterfront adjacent to the east side of the City of Washington
Central Business District. The 15,000 square foot building is a visitor's center and
estuary educational facility. There are associated walkways and a bulkhead along the
river. This eco-tourism center provides a "gateway" for regional nature based tourism.

Pamlico River Islands -- Two islands are located immediately off the Washington
shoreline. These islands are locally known as Castle Island (large island) and Grandpaps
Island (small island). 'Castle Island has been cut into and there are now actually two
islands most of the time depending upon water level. While the islands have at times
been occupied by structures, they are currently in a natural state. They provide good
examples of riverine system estuarine islands. The islands contain both dry ground and
wetland areas.
Havens Gardens -- Havens Gardens is a 6.5 acre facility located on the eastern shoreline
of the City of Washington adjacent to Park Avenue and Main Street. The facility is
bisected by Park Avenue into the northern and southern sections. The northern section
includes a boat ramp, unpaved parking, one picnic shelter, a 100 foot long pier, and a
50 foot long pier.
The southern portion of Havens Gardens includes playground equipment, 100 foot long
fishing pier, two picnic shelters, a 56 space paved and marked parking lot, and a 1,300
foot concrete bulkhead along the Pamlico River shoreline. The park connects to a
portion of the city's proposed greenway system.
Havens Gardens provides the eastern "anchor" for the city's shoreline assets.
City of Washington Historic District -- Washington's historic district is listed on the
National Register of Historic Places and is one of the largest commercial and residential
historic districts in North Carolina. It is a source of pride for the community, and the
City of Washington is committed to preserving the historic character of this area.
Designation as a Historic District provides limited protection from potentially adverse
effects of federally funded, licensed or assisted projects. Another benefit is that the
owners of income -producing property listed in the National Register are eligible for
federal grants for rehabilitation or restoration and for certain federal income tax
advantages. The historic district is delineated on Map 1. This district serves to protect
the architectural integrity of much of the city's shoreline areas.
Tranters Creek N. C. Wildlife Boat Ramp -- The Tranters Creek North Carolina wildlife
boat ramp serves as the western "anchor" of Washington's shoreline assets. The facility
is operated under a 25-year lease. Facilities include two paved boat ramps, three piers,
and a soil parking lot with 34 regular and two handicapped parking spaces. Access to
the boat ramp is provided via Clark's Neck Road (S.R. 1403).
Washington Central Business District -- The Washington central business district
comprises a significant portion of the Washington historic district. This commercial area
is experiencing a rebirth of commercial activity and consumer interest. The area
provides an attraction for both the local and traveling public. In addition, a number of
bed and breakfast facilities have developed in or near the central business district.
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 5 -

Proposed City of Washington Greenway System -- The City of Washington Parks and
Recreation Master Plan (April, 1992) proposes the establishment of a greenway system.
The following provides a description of the proposed system:
-- The existing system between Seventh Street and Haven Gardens should be
improved by adding a strollway/bicycle path.
-- East of the city, a trail system should be established from the high school
to Havens Gardens, utilizing floodprone lands along Runyons Creek,
Herring Run, Brick Kiln Branch, and an unnamed stream north of Eastern
Elementary School.
-- Land for these systems should be acquired or controlled through a variety
of means, including fee acquisition, the dedication of development rights
and easements. Sewer outfalls and power line rights -of -way present
additional opportunities to expand the system.
Carolina Winds Yacht Club -- The Carolina Winds Yacht Club, a private facility, is
located on the waterfront between Mel's Restaurant and the John Havens Moss Mill.
The club provides docking facilities with 16 boat slips. The club is a picturesque
addition to the Washington waterfront.
City of Washington Stewart Parkway Bulkhead Boat Dock -- Phase I of boat docks for
visiting boaters are to be constructed in FY1998/1999. At the current time, the least
expensive, and most attractive, alternative for the docks is a floating system. The length
that such docks can extend into the river is now limited by the location of the Federal
navigation channel approximately 60' off the bulkhead. In the future, however, it is
possible that permission could be obtained to make the channel narrower or move it
farther away from the bulkhead, allowing additional slips to be added. For the first
phase of this work, and because demand for these facilities has to be created over time,
three finger piers with four slips each will be constructed near the western end of the
bulkhead. This number will be increased when the demand is established and growing.
The project will be funded with City of Washington local revenues.
The City of Washington has an impressive inventory of shoreline assets. These facilities
currently attract people to the city's shoreline for a variety of reasons. While these assets
are individually impressive, they have not been integrated into a comprehensive network
of facilities.
D. ASSOCIATED PLANNING PROJECTS
The City of Washington has undertaken several planning projects which are supportive
of comprehensive shoreline development. These associated efforts should be recognized and
integrated into planning for shoreline access facilities.
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 6 -

In fiscal year 1996/1997, the City of Washington prepared an update of its CAMA Land
Use Plan. That plan includes the following policies which are supportive of shoreline access
facilities development:
-- The City of Washington will support projects that will increase public access to
shoreline areas.
-- The City of Washington will continue to support the activities of the North
Carolina Division of Travel and Tourism; specifically, the monitoring of tourism -
related industry, efforts to promote tourism -related commercial activity, and
efforts to enhance and provide shoreline resources.
-- The City of Washington will enhance its historic district.
-- The City of Washington will continue to preserve the Tar/Pamlico River as a
valuable asset which aids in the development of tourism.
-- The City of Washington supports the state's shoreline access policies as set forth
in NCAC Chapter 15A, Subchapter 7M. The City of Washington will conform
to CAMA and other state and federal environmental regulations affecting the
development of estuarine access areas. The City of Washington will support
development of a detailed shoreline access plan during the five-year planning
period.
Also, in fiscal year 1996/1997, the City of Washington prepared a redevelopment plan
for the central business district, including the Stewart Parkway--Estuarium Area. The proposed
improvements are delineated on Drawing 1.
The purpose of this study is to:
-- identify, design, and implement needed improvements in time for them to support
the opening of the Estuarium;
-- ensure that improvements not only support the opening of the Center, but also
create a synergy that will help to revitalize the entire downtown;
-- develop an overall revitalization strategy for downtown Washington and
recommend additional projects for the mid- and long-term which will ensure
Washington's continued economic growth and historic integrity.

The following paragraphs have been extracted from the text for the redevelopment plan
and provide an overview of the proposed Phase I (0 to 5 years) improvements:
Bridge Street between the south side of the river and Fifth Street is the gateway
into the historic downtown. At the present time, it is not an appropriate gateway
for the downtown, and it gives no hint that there is a very distinguished historic
district on either side of it. There are two reasons why it is important to improve
this area:
1) It is the visitor's first impression of the historic downtown; and
2) when the by-pass is constructed by the turn of the century, many of the
commercial, auto -oriented uses now in place will no longer be
appropriate, creating opportunities for new uses more appropriate to a
historic district. An improved setting will help to attract these new uses.
Improvements are meant to provide a consistent, attractive edge to the street,
screen parking, consolidate driveways, and, from the opposite side of the river
and from the bridge, frame views of the downtown. Recommendations include
30-36"-high screen walls, street trees, buried overhead wires, new street lights,
and continuous sidewalks. Phase One improvements will be designed so that
when the by-pass is completed, the street can be easily narrowed to provide an
additional tree -planting strip without major changes to the first phase of
improvements or major additional costs.
Changes to the zoning code are recommended which grandfather existing uses but
prohibits future development of service stations, drive -through, convenience, fast
food, and other vehicular -oriented commercial business along Bridge Street, in
the historic district, and along Second (see Implementation section of this
section). Tax incentives or loans to assist business owners in updating and
improving their signage, landscaping, and building facades are also
recommended.
In some cases and in other locations within the downtown, screening for parking
can be accomplished with the use of hedges rather than walls. Walls are more
appropriate for this section of Bridge Street, however, because of the limited
space, and because the high level of traffic, and especially diesel -fueled vehicles,
will make survival of hedges difficult. Shrubs also tend to collect trash more
readily, and maintenance of landscaping in this type of setting is more difficult.
The most appropriate materials for these walls would be brick, to harmonize with
the predominant material used in the downtown. A cap stone or brick cap, with
wider columns at driveways, is also recommended.
The trees recommended for Bridge Street are those which are resistant to
pollution and will eventually achieve considerable height and breadth with high
enough branching to allow views to businesses behind the trees. Small dense
trees that will block views (such as Bradford Pears or Lindens) are not
recommended, nor are trees with invasive roots such as Maples. A more suitable
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 9 -

choice would be native trees such as Red, Live, or Willow Oaks, Green Ash, or
non -natives well adapted to this climate, including Zelkovas and Chinese Elms.
In the short term, many of the Bridge Street businesses now there will remain.
When the by-pass is completed, some or all of the existing businesses which are
mostly auto -oriented, will probably relocate on their own. Examples of new
types of businesses and recommended site development patterns are shown on the
plan. These generalized buildings represent businesses such as professional
offices, restaurants, or banks. Restaurants should only be located in areas where
they are not adjacent to residential properties, and in general appropriate uses
should be determined by evaluating their impact on nearby residential and/or
historic properties.
Parking should be located at the rear or the side of the building, screened where
it is visible from the street, and prohibited from the area between the building and
the street. Buildings should be set back no further than 20' from the back of the
sidewalk. The area between the building and the street should be landscaped, and
screen walls or hedges at the sidewalk are not required or appropriate in this
zone. Wherever possible, buildings should be located near the comers at
intersections (i.e. as opposed to being set back on the lot or placing parking on
the comer with the building in from the comer) to provide a sense of continuity
and character along the street. Architectural guidelines for new buildings should
be prepared, and should encourage buildings with architecture complimentary to
the historic district.
Because the city plans on burying overhead utilities, new street lights will be
needed. A "shoebox" type fixture painted in a standard City color (yet to be
selected) will be less visible than the existing cobra -head fixtures while still
providing required street lighting levels. Other street furniture is not needed at
this time along Bridge Street, since there is such a low level of pedestrian traffic,
but this might be reevaluated in the future, especially after the by-pass is in place.
Improved lighting, painting, and perhaps signaling of pedestrian crossings should
also be a short-term priority, especially at Main and Second Streets.
On the south side of the bridge, it is recommended that any new development be
set back from the road in such a way that views to the downtown are not blocked.
Public access to the water's edge on this side of the river is also recommended.
A triangular area of land is shown on either side of the bridge as it is approached
from the south, to allow a "gateway" treatment with landscaping and signage.
Other "gateways" are indicated at the intersection of Bridge and Main Streets, and
at Bridge and 5th Streets. This treatment might consist of landscaping with
annuals to provide a colorful accent, signage to direct people to the historic
district and to destinations within it, and perhaps a wall or hedge with flowering
trees behind it to create a sense of entry and to block the parking which is around
most of these intersections.
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 10 -

On the bridge itself, it is recommended that the existing cobra -head lights
eventually be replaced with lower -scale decorative lights placed in pair about 125'
apart. This will create a much more distinctive and historic character for the
bridge, and when viewed from either side, especially at night. Ideally, it would
be desirable to replace the existing railing with a more decorative railing, and to
create a barrier along at least one sidewalk on the bridge to make walking across
the bridge a more enjoyable and safe experience. All these proposed changes to
the bridge will require approval of the State DOT, and although approval for new
lights on the bridge will probably be easier to achieve, approval for a new railing
and sidewalk barrier may be more difficult.
Improvements to the Streetscapes on Main and Second Streets between Bridge
Gladden Streets -- As part of the improvements to Bridge Street, the City wished
to include this area in the Bridge Street improvements because they are the first
areas to be seen by visitors on entering the downtown, or the last when leaving.
In particular, the north side of Second between Bridge and Van Norden, and
south side of Main from Bridge to Gladden, are in need of improvements. These
improvements need not be elaborate, but should include screening of undesirable
uses an parking; installation of continuous sidewalks, and planting of trees where
space permits.
Improvements to the Bulkhead and Promenade -- The first phase of work
involves improvements to the bulkhead, including a new cap, improved utilities,
a new railing and tie -backs, and replacement of the existing promenade. These
improvements may be funded in part by an FY1998/1999 CAMA Shoreline
Access Grant. The city requested $250,000 in CAMA funds to be matched by
$100,000 in local City of Washington funds. The improvements are necessary
because of structural problems with the existing bulkhead which is causing failure
of the promenade paving behind it. 'Because of the failure of the existing walk,
and because the existing walk, cap, railing, and brick seat wall will have to be
removed to complete these improvements, the design and installation of a new
promenade is recommended as part of the first phase of improvements in order
to save the expense of short-term repairs and long-term improvements. It is
recommended that the new promenade be slightly wider to accommodate benches,
lights, and trash receptacles along the inside edge of the walk, and that more
attractive paving be used, either exposed aggregate or unit pavers. The seat wall
could be replaced by benches, and the slope behind it would be grading down
level with the promenade and planted with grass and trees, encouraging more
people to sit on the grass and creating a more open park -like area along the
water. When these improvements are combined with the wider planting strip that
will be created by the narrowing of Stewart Parkway, this will become a much
larger, less rigidly linear and more attractive green space.
Future Waterfront Improvements -- Although only the first phase of
improvements to the waterfront will be implemented in the near future, it is
important to understand how these initial improvements fit within the concept for
the entire waterfront. The overall intent of the plan is to tie the waterfront back
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 11 -

into the downtown, and to enhance the waterfront so that it will be more active,
green, and attractive for residents and visitors.
Initially, the impetus for changes to the waterfront was the Estuarium, and the
hope that this new attraction would have positive spin-off benefits for the
downtown. However, the location of the Estuarium is somewhat remote from the
downtown, and there are presently no nearby attractions or businesses which will
draw pedestrians back into the downtown. The strategic plan addresses these
problems, both in the short-term with additional improvements recommended to
be in place for or soon after the opening of the Estuarium, and in the longer term
with improvements that will make the waterfront more attractive and more useful
and entertaining for residents and visitors.
Continuous Promenade along the River -- In the future, it should be a goal for
the City to create a continuous public promenade along the river from Bridge
Street to Havens Gardens. After the completion of the section between the
western end of the bulkhead along Stewart Parkway east to the Chamber of
Commerce building, the section between the Chamber of Commerce and the
Estuarium, and the section between Stewart Parkway and bridge should be
completed. A continuation of the public promenade should also be included
through the Litchfield property when that is developed. A link from the eastern
edge of that property to Havens Gardens should eventually be planned as the final
phase of improvements to the promenade. Priority: 1) Chamber to Estuarium:
high; 2) Stewart Parkway to Bridge: moderate; 3) Litchfield property: low to
moderate, depending on development interest in the property; 4) Litchfield
property to Havens Gardens: low.
Stewart Parkway Improvements and Expansion of Park Space along the River --
Stewart Parkway is currently 53 feet wide; much wider than is needed or even
used. One of the easiest and yet dramatic improvements that can be made to the
waterfront is to narrow Stewart Parkway on the river side from 53 feet to 33 feet
(two moving lanes of 12' each, and a parking lane on the river side of 9'),
providing an additional 10' of open space along the river. This expanded area
will provide space for a slightly wider promenade and wider planting area for
trees and informal pathways. The promenade, the sidewalk next to the curb, and
the paths between them will give pedestrians a variety of ways to experience the
waterfront, and the expanded green area will give the waterfront a much more
park -like character. When Stewart Parkway is narrowed, improvements to the
sidewalks and edges on both sides of the Parkway should be completed at the
same time (this will necessitate changes to the parking lots behind the sidewalks
on the City -side of the street at the same time). Priority: moderate to high.
Rerouting of Stewart Parkway -- Along with the narrowing of Stewart Parkway,
there is an opportunity to reroute the Parkway up to Water Street prior to the
Chamber of Commerce building so that it becomes part of Water Street prior to
the intersection of Market and Main Streets. This will accomplish several
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 12 -

important goals, including creating development opportunities near the water;
creating anchor attractions near the Estuarium and an activities link between the
Estuarium and the downtown; adding activities, entertainment, and more
attractive and appropriate buildings near the waterfront; and increasing the
amount of public open space along the waterfront over what exists now (this is
in addition to the increase accomplished by narrowing Stewart Parkway between
Main Street and the Chamber of Commerce building). Priority: moderate to
high, depending on the timing of new development on the properties between the
Estuarium and the Chamber of Commerce.
Improved Plaza between the Civic Center, the Arts Council, and the Building --
We understand there is already a plan for improvements to this space, and this
plan or another should be implemented when funds allow. Our recommendations
for this space include varying levels which would make it possible to have direct
access from the entrances of all the buildings out onto a level area. The different
levels would provided interest, and could be useful for outdoor concerts or
gatherings. The space should ramp down to the parking lot behind the buildings,
and step and/or ramp down to the adjoining sidewalks on Main and Gladden
Streets. If steps are used, ramps should also be provided to ensure that the space
in handicapped accessible. Priority: moderate.
Improved and Enlarged Park South of the Civic Center -- At the present time
this space is underutilized. When the promenade is extended along the bulkhead
between Stewart Parkway and the Bridge Street bridge, this area can be improved
to create a small natural amphitheater and park. At the present time, there is a
building foundation next to the water which blocks views and access to the water,
and which will prevent the promenade to continue through this space. If this
structure is removed and the metal shed attached to the building is altered or
removed, the promenade can be continuous along the waterfront from the bridge
to the Litchfield property. Priority: moderate.
Additional Docks and Harbormaster's Building -- A possible location for
additional docks is shown on the plan (further to the east of the Phase One
docks), as is a possible location (on the western end of the bulkhead) for a
harbormaster's buildings. The harbormaster's building would include bathrooms,
showers, supplies and other facilities needed by boaters, and could also include
separate bathroom facilities for the public. Such a building could also be in
several other locations within easy walking distance of the docks, and in the
short-term might be located in the back of one of the buildings along the southern
edge of Main Street. This location is recommended in the long-term, however,
because it is close to the proposed docks and also one of the few locations along
the water with sufficient space to accommodate such a structure and yet not block
views of the water from buildings along Main Street. Priority: depends on
demand for new dock space.
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 13 -

Parking and New Sidewalk Next to the Backs of Buildings Along Main Street. -
- The parking between the backs of the buildings along Main Street and the river
will remain, although it will be reduced slightly by the rerouting of Stewart
.Parkway. The edge along Stewart Parkway will be improved significantly with
the addition of a grass strip with trees, a wall to screen parking, and a wider
sidewalk. In addition, a sidewalk and another planting strip next to the buildings
along the south side of Main Street should be provided. Most of the building
owners are renovating, or planning to renovate the backs of their buildings to
become "addresses on the river." The addition of this sidewalk will help to
create an environment that will encourage further renovation. To make -this
concept work, property owners will need to contribute to the process by
consolidating and screening trash receptacles, air handling equipment, and
transformers, and improving the appearance of the facades so they welcome
shoppers and visitors. Priority: moderate, depends on willingness of abutting
property owners to improve their rear facades and to screen, move, and/or
consolidate equipment and trash containers.
New Parking off Main between Bridge Street and Stewart Parkway -- When the
buildings along the waterfront between Stewart Parkway and the bridge are
redeveloped, it is recommended that the parking for these uses be reorganized so
it will work more efficiently. This would require the removal (or, in the case of
the historically significant residence, moving to another site) of several buildings
on the south side of Main Street. By introducing shared parking, the spaces will
be more efficiently used, and entry and exit can also be accommodated more
efficiently given the slope in this area. If a recreational boating center is built in
this area (see next section), this configuration of parking and access will allow the
long trailers used for sculls to be unloaded in front of the building. Priority:
moderate, depends on timing of development in this area.
The city developed and recommended improvements for the initial first year
improvements. These improvements are referred to as the Stewart Parkway Recreation Area
improvements. Funding for the improvements was being sought in FY1997/1998. The
following describes the improvements and summarizes the estimated cost.
The project will renovate and upgrade the facilities along Stewart Parkway located beside
the Pamlico River in Downtown Washington, N.C. The project is a vital part of the larger
Riverfront Renaissance Project. The Riverfront Renaissance Project is a $4.7 million -dollar
renovation and upgrade of the Downtown Washington area. This project is a major step in
drawing additional people to visit the downtown area.
The Stewart Parkway Recreation Area will be enhanced by the natural beauty of the
Pamlico River. The project will open the riverfront to more and better use. It will allow the
public to use this great natural resource of our area better and more safely. The project is
located along the Pamlico River from the end of Gladden Street to just southeast of Bonner
Street, a distance of 2,000 feet beside the river. The Pamlico River is a major natural resource
of Eastern Carolina.
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 14 -

On the east end of the project site, the Partnership for the Sounds is building the North
Carolina Estuarine Center which is funded in part by Beaufort County, the City of Washington,
the State of North Carolina, and many private donors. This facility will be used as a teaching
center on our estuarine systems. The project will be a natural "lead in" to the visitors of the
center. On the northwest end of the project is the John Haven Moss Mill, a local landmark and
a possible project for historic development in the later stages of the Renaissance. North of the
site is downtown Washington. Across Main Street is the Washington Civic Center developed
from the old Atlantic Seaboard Railroad Depot and the Peterson Building, home of the
Washington Senior Resources Center and Recreation Department offices.
The project will include recreation area site preparation, installation of a multipurpose
trail along the Pamlico River; landscaping the recreation area and engineering fee. The site
preparation will include stabilization of the bulkhead, collar cap for the bulkhead, backfill,
addition of stiffeners, and related work. The multipurpose trail will include gates, railings and
lighting, pile cape, pavers, exposed aggregate walkway, fishing stations, benches, picnic site,
and related items. The landscaping will include trees, grasses, and planting areas.
The site preparation is necessary to make the recreation area safe, stable and usable. It
will eliminate the outward rotation of the bulkhead. The multipurpose trail will be developed
so it may be used by many different users. It will be designed, where possible to separate active
uses such as bikers, skaters and like users from walkers, tourists, nature lovers, rowers, water
skiers, strollers, fishermen, boaters, senior citizen users and those enjoying the serenity of the
Pamlico River. (The present walkway is a part of the Historic Walking Tour of Washington,
the multipurpose trail will enhance this role and usefulness of the tour which will include the
new Estuarine Center). The landscaping will include a sloped grassy area leading down to the
multipurpose trail, trees all along the Recreation Area and planters for annuals to beautify the
trail. The promenade will attract more users to the Stewart Parkway and greatly improve the
visual quality of the total waterfront. This project is just the first stage of development of the
Stewart Parkway. Other phases will add boat docks to the area; expand the open space by
reducing the width of the road on Stewart Parkway, rerouting the Parkway so it enters Waters
Street near Market Street (enlarging the amount of open space along the riverwalk); possible
development of a hotel complex along Waters Street; and upgrade the parking areas behind the
Downtown area so they conform better with the riverwalk and fit in better with the scheme of
Stewart Parkway.
The Stewart Parkway Recreation Area will meet many critical needs of the citizens of
Washington and Beaufort County. The major need for the renovation is the safety of the users
of the Riverwalk section of the Parkway. The bulkhead was built in 1968 using Redevelopment
Funds. During its years of use, storms, geodynamic forces, numerous hurricanes, wave and
water action, and constant docking of many large vessels have caused the bulkhead to weaken
and causing outward rotation of the southwest corner of the recreation area. This movement,
in addition to settlement of the fill material, is causing the sidewalk area to drop and crack.
This produces a very uneven area which the public uses for skateboarding, walking, running,
rollerblading, strolling, enjoying the scenic overlook of the beautiful Pamlico River, mooring
vessels of all types, fishing, rowing, and kayaking. The uneven area has caused several major
accidents to citizens in addition to many minor accidents. This renovation will eliminate the
safety problems of the area. The renovation will greatly enhance the public use and access to
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 15 -

the recreation area of Stewart Parkway. It will allow for more open space, landscaped benches
and direct accesses to the river's edge and the many opportunities this affords all of our citizens.
The Riverfront Renaissance Project, when completed as planned, will allow access to the
public along the Pamlico River from the US 17 Bridge to the Washington Park city limits. It
will include an amphitheater, picnic areas, and an enlarged park area. The project will be a
cornerstone of future development of Historic Washington and its Downtown Washington.
The City of Washington and its Downtown Development Commission have spent many
hours and countless meetings developing the Riverfront Renaissance. Several public meetings
were held to solicit input from the public. The Project has received much public support and
is being pushed by the Downtown Development commission, Downtown Merchants Association,
the Recreation Advisory Committee, the City Council, and large segments of the general public.
The project will meet all ADA and CAMA requirements as well as all state and local
building codes. The project meets the goals of the Recreation Master Plan adopted by the City
of Washington. It also fits into the City of Washington's Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The
Project will serve the citizens of Washington, Beaufort County and Eastern North Carolina for
many years. The following provides a cost summary:
Item Total cost
Recreation Area Site Preparation; includes stabilization of
bulkhead, collar cap, stiffeners, backfill, etc. $149,580.00
Waterfront Recreation Area Development; includes pile cap,
gates, railings, lighting, pavers, benches, picnic sites,
exposed aggregate walks, etc. $279,539.00
Landscaping Recreation Area; includes trees, grass, etc. $ 20, 625.00
Engineering Fees $ 44,974.00
Contingency $ 5,282.00

Old Moss Planing Mill Property -- The Old Moss Planing Mill Property is a 20 acre
tract located on the Pamlico River shoreline adjacent to the east side of the North
Carolina Estuarium. The City of Washington acquired 13 acres adjacent to the
Estuarium in 1997. The appraised value of the property was $2,900,000. The property
is identified on Map 3.
The property provides a valuable addition to the city's shoreline assets. It is intended
that the property will be disposed of for private development. Depending upon the
development proposal, a portion of the property could be retained for the city for joint
venture public/private development. Following acquisition, a detailed site specific
redevelopment plan will be prepared. Therefore, a detailed site plan for development is
not provided in this document.
Development of this property will accomplish the following:
1. Support economic development.
2. Provide a large acreage site.
3. Support 15A NCAC 7M.0300.
4. Support development of Washington's comprehensive recreation system.
5. Support continued central business district waterfront development.
6. Provide local and regional transportation accessibility.
7. Provide multiple shoreline access opportunities.

Causeway Property, US 17 South -- The entrance to the City of Washington via US 17
South has long been a subject of discussion. The area presently contains several vacant
deteriorating commercial structures. The most visible of these is the old Cream Castle
property located on the west side of US 17 adjacent to the US 17 bridge and adjacent
parcel which fronts on US 17 for a distance of approximately 970 feet. These properties
contain approximately 4.49 acres and have a total assessed tax value of $103,500.
Private development is proposed for the east side of US 17 South and adjacent to the
bridge.
Acquisition of this site will enable the city to greatly improve the attractiveness of the
city's southern entrance. In addition, the site should be developed to provide small boat
access, shoreline pedestrian access, fishing access, picnic facilities, and parking.
For years fisherman have utilized the US 17 bridge for water access. This has created
a potentially hazardous conflict between pedestrian, fishermen, and vehicular traffic.
Development of a fishing pier will provide a viable alternative to the bridge.
The proposed site improvements are depicted on Map 4. These improvements include:
-- Paved parking area
-- Wooden bulkhead
-- Shoreline walkway
-- Boat access ramp
-- Restrooms
-- Gazebo
-- Fishing Pier
-- Lighting
-- Picnic tables/benches
-- Trash receptacles
Note: Portions of the property may contain coastal and/or 404 wetlands. Some of
the proposed development, especially on the southern end, may have to be eliminated
or "scaled back".
In addition to the on -site improvements, the city's Central Business District
Redevelopment development plan identified the need for streetscape improvements
extends 1,500 feet south of the end of the US 17 bridge. These improvements include:
-- Curb and gutter at the current curb alignment, approximately 8 feet from the edge
of the travel lane.
-- An 8 foot wide planting strip with trees at approximately 40 foot spacing and
grassed landscaping.
-- A 4 foot wide sidewalk along the improved section.

Acquisition of the US 17 South sites would support the following:
-- Site one acre in size or larger
-- Support 15A NCAC 7M.0300
-- Support development of the city's comprehensive recreation system
-- Support continued central business district waterfront development
-- Provide local and regional transportation accessibility
-- Provide multiple shoreline access opportunities.
John Haven Moss Mill -- The John Haven Moss Mill property is an important riverfront
historic asset. It appears to be in good condition, with its machinery still in working
condition. The 1997 accessed tax value was $322,797. Because of its strategic
waterfront location, it should be developed for a visitor related use. Possibilities include:
mixed use retail and restaurant, offices, and/or a bed and breakfast style facility. The
buildings location near the waterfront, the central business district and route 17 make it
a good draw for local people, visitors, boaters, and transient traffic.
Acquisition of the facility would support the following:
-- Support economic development
-- Support 15A NCAC 7M.0300
-- Support development of the city's comprehensive recreation system
-- Support continued central business district waterfront development
-- Provide local and regional transportation accessibility
-- Provide multiple shoreline access opportunities
Castle Island -- There are three islands located in the Pamlico River opposite the City
of Washington shoreline. These islands were originally one island and constituted Castle
Island. Erosion separated the island into three islands which are now separated by
shallow water. The two western sections of Castle Island are privately owned.
Combined the islands include 2.84 acres and have an assessed tax value of $1,500,000.
The easternmost island is owned by the City of Washington and also contains 2.84 acres.
The westernmost islands are located approximately 400 feet off shore opposite the
Estuarium site.
The City of Washington should acquire the privately owned islands. All three islands
should remain primarily undeveloped. Access to the islands should be provided via boats
from the North Carolina Estuarium site. Access should be to the western and eastern
most islands. The center island is very low and regularly floods. Development should
be limited to small piers on the western and eastern most islands to accommodate small
boat access. In future years the western most and eastern islands may have wooden
walkways constructed into the interior of the islands. All islands are excellent examples
of a estuarine island environment and should be preserved.
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 23 -

Acquisition of the islands would accomplish the following:
-- Support 15A NCAC 7M.0300
-- Support development of the city's comprehensive recreation system
-- Support continued central business district waterfront development
-- Provide multiple shoreline access opportunities
-- Provide a site two acres in size or larger
Greenway System Properties -- As opportunities occur for the acquisition of rights -of -way
power lines, sewer outfalls, downtown, etc., the city should develop its greenway
system. Expenditures for acquisition of property is not recommended. Priority should
be placed on developing the system between Seventh Street and Havens Gardens. This
area should be improved with a hiking/bicycle trail. The seasonal priority should be the
development of the trail system from Washington High School to Havens Gardens. This
portion of the system should utilize flood -prone land along Runyon Creek, Herring Run,
Brick Kiln Branch, and an unnamed stream north of Eastern Elementary School. This
portion of the system should be improved with a hiking/bicycle trail.
Establishment of the greenway system would accomplish the following:
-- Acquisition of site(s) which may be available through voluntary/negotiated
acquisition.
-- Selection of site(s) which support 15A NCAC 7M.0300.
-- Support development of the city's comprehensive recreation system.
-- Provide multiple shoreline access opportunities.
-- Provide local transportation accessibility.
Establish a State Recognized Canoe Trail -- The North Carolina Division of Parks and
Recreation recognizes established hiking, bicycle, and canoe trails. To be recognized,
the trails have to be marked, ten mile or less in length, and a brochure has to be
prepared by the local government to map and publicize the trail. A canoe trail would
provide an additional regional attraction for the City of Washington.
The trail should begin west of Washington on Tranters Creek at the wildlife boat ramp
located on S.R. 1403. It should proceed along Tranters Creek and the north shore of the
Tar/Pamlico River to Runyons Creek. The trail would continue north on Runyons Creek
to its intersection with US 264 east of Washington. Utilization of Runyons Creek will
require some snagging and clearing of the creek. On its western end, the trail could
eventually extend upstream to Cherry Creek from the western point of entry. An access
point would need to be acquired adjacent to US 264 East to provide limited parking and
a soil beach access point. The only access point improvements should be a stabilized
unmarked crushed stone parking lot and signage. The canoe trail is delineated on Map
5 with the points of entry identified. The eastern access point on Runyon Creek would
include a 1/2 acre site with minimal improvements to provide parking.

H. URBAN WATERFRONT REDEVELOPMENT, HOUSE BILL 1059
In 1997, the North Carolina General Assembly adopted House Bill 1059, which addresses
urban waterfront redevelopment. The following provides the text of the bill.
Permits for Urban Waterfront Redevelopment in Historically Urban Areas
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any person may apply to the
Commission for a permit for major development granting permission to
use the person's land for a non -water dependent use that is otherwise
prohibited by rules, standards, or limitations prescribed by the
Commission, or orders issued by the Commission, pursuant to this
Article. The procedure to apply for the permit shall be as provided by
G.S. 113A-119.
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 2 -

(b) Notwithstanding G.S. 113A-120(a), the Commission shall grant a permit
for nonwater dependent development in public trust areas designated
pursuant to G.S. 113A-113(b)(5) if the following criteria are met:
(1) The land is waterfront property located in a municipality.
(2) The land has a history of urban -level development as evidenced by any of
the following:
a. The land is a historic place that is listed, or has been
approved for listing by the North Carolina Historical
Commission in the National Register of Historic Places
pursuant to the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.
b. The land is historical, archaeological, and other site owned,
managed, or assisted by the State of North Carolina
pursuant to Chapter 121 of the General Statutes.
C. The land has . a central business district zoning
classification, or any other classification that may be
designated as acceptable by the Commission.
(3) The proposed development is sponsored in part or in whole by the local
jurisdiction in which the development would be located for the purpose of
significantly increasing public access consistent with the Coastal Area
Management guidelines.
(4) The municipality in which the activity would occur has determined that the
development will not have a significant adverse impact on the
environment.
(5) The development as requested is consistent with a local urban waterfront
development plan, local development regulations, public access plans, and
other applicable local authority.
(c) Except as otherwise provided by this section, all other provisions of this
Article apply to a permit applied for under this section, including the
provisions of G.S. 113A-120 (bl) and (b2).
Section 2 G.S. 113A-120(bl) reads as rewritten:
(bl) In addition to those factors set out in subsection (a) of this section, and not
withstanding the provisions of subsection (b) of this section or of G.S. 113A-120.2, the
responsible official or body may deny an application for a permit upon finding that an
applicant, or any parent or subsidiary corporation if the applicant is a corporation:

(3) Has been convicted of a misdemeanor pursuant to G.S. 113A-126, G.S.
113-229(k), or any criminal provision of a local ordinance adopted
pursuant to this Article; or
(4) Has failed to substantially comply with State rules or local ordinances and
regulations adopted pursuant to this Article or with other federal and state
laws, regulations, and rules for the protection of the environment.
It is emphasized to the reader that as of November 1997, the North Carolina Division
of Coastal Management was still resolving issues concerning the implementation of House
Bill 1059. Thus, the information which follows is subject to change.
In order to implement House Bill 1059, a. CAMA Major Permit is required. In addition
to the usual items required for a permit, the following must be submitted with a permit
application for urban waterfront redevelopment.
1. A. Certification of Incorporation as a municipality; and
B. Provide in the form of historic maps, photographs, or text the existence
of the site as an historic urban waterfront development.
C. Listing or approval as shown in the National Register of Historic Places
OR
Copy of agreement/acknowledgement that site is historical, archaeological
or other site owned, managed or assisted by the State of NC (Chapter 121
of the General Statues).
OR
Copy of Zoning designation as a central business district or related
classification. A "central business district" designation usually indicates
a high -intensity commercial, office, service and residential area meeting
needs of the city and surrounding areas. It is the mix of uses which
compose an urban area. Therefore, in lieu of a "CBD" zoning
designation, an historic urban area might be zoned for a variety of uses
(office, commercial, service, residential) within its core, even though the
"core" may be limited in size. The key element in "urban" is the
combination of uses in close proximity to one another.
2. A. A description of the nature of the relationship between the local
government and the project should be included. Is there financial support?
Is it in the form of a joint venture? A bond? etc. Support by way of
concurrence by the local governing body should be presented as a
referendum indicating that a public hearing was conducted which met the
requirements for hearings within the local jurisdiction, and that following
the public hearing a vote was taken.
B. A description and map of existing public waterfront access, including
auxiliary public (no -fee, free access) facilities such as restrooms, picnic
areas, fishing piers, boat ramps and docking facilities, and parking for the
designated urban waterfront area should be provided. In addition,
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 30 -

described how the proposed project will increase public trust access in the
area. If the access requires patronage or a fee, please indicate.
3. Local Consistency
See definitions above.
4. Plans
Urban water from development and public access plans are required. These plans
should include the following:
Urban Waterfront Development Plan:
-- Statement of vision, goals and policy for use of public trust waters,
estuarine shoreline and adjacent urban land areas.
-- Brief history of the local urban waterfront.
-- Inventory of existing conditions including land, water dependent and non -
water dependent structures along the estuarine shoreline and in public trust
waters.
-- Inventory of existing public access, both "sanctioned" and habitual.
-- Inventory of existing infrastructure serving the urban waterfront.
-- Growth projections and expected demands for the urban waterfront area.
-- Proposed types of water dependent and types of non -water dependent
development in public trust waters.
-- Proposed types of development adjacent to public trust waters.
-- Proposed types and areas of public waterfront access.
-- Implementation recommendations, including capital cost commitments,
project phasing and an initial action agenda.
Public Access Plan: This is a plan for provision of access to the urban
waterfront for the purpose of such things as strolling, sightseeing, fishing and
boarding a boat. It recognizes that the adjacent water body is an important aspect
of the urban waterfront, and that viewing the water from a distance may be as
important to some citizens as walking the waterfront edge.
The public access plan should contain the following information, consistent with
the guidance found in NCAC 7M.0304(a)(2).
A public access plan should:
-- identify needs and opportunities,
-- determine access and facility requirements,
-- establish local standards, and
-- develop specific project design plans or guidelines by appropriate site.
A public access plan should consider:
-- both financial resource availability (such as grants, impact fees or
hotel/motel tax revenues), and
-- construction timing.
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 31 -

A public access plan should establish local priorities and devise a system for
annual evaluation of the plan.
Based upon the information available during the preparation of this plan, the City
of Washington does not support the implementation of House Bill 1059 within its
planning jurisdiction.
I. FUNDING SOURCES
Funding for shoreline development projects, including shoreline access beautification and
restroom facilities, is increasingly difficult to secure. Government resources have steadily
dwindled during the '90s. Federal funding of extensive municipal projects no longer exists.
Development efforts are forced to increasingly look at local government and private resources
as the primary sources of funding. This section will discuss the funding resources available to
Washington for comprehensive shoreline development. In order to implement a comprehensive
shoreline development plan, the city should pursue both shoreline access and non -shoreline
access funding. Potential sources of these funds are discussed separately.
1. Potential State and Federal Shoreline Access Funds
The number of state and federal agencies funding public access projects changes from
year to year, and so to a certain extend city officials will need to keep abreast of these changes
through regular contact with these agencies. In general, however, it is a well -recognized fact
among state and federal elected officials and employees that the demand for access to our coastal
shorelines continues to increase and that local governments are looking to other agencies to assist
in bearing the cost of providing suitable facilities.
Those agencies that provide assistance in the construction and/or acquisition of public
access projects include the Coastal and Estuarine Water Beach Access Program, Land and Water
Conservation Fund, Civil Works Program, Marine Resources Commission Fishing Access
Program, Wildlife Resources Commission Boat Ramp Program, and Department of
Transportation Secondary Road Program.
a. Coastal and Estuarine Water Beach Access Program
The Coastal and Estuarine Water Beach Access Program is administered by the Division
of Coastal Management in the Department of Environment, Health and Natural
Resources. The program makes funds available to local governments on a matching basis
for land acquisition and public access facility development. Some examples include the
construction of parking areas, restroom facilities, and handicapped accessible accessways.
Grant packages are normally available in March of each year. In recent years, grants
have averaged from approximately $38,000 to $48,000. The local government
contribution must be at least 25 % of the total cost.

b. Land and Water Conservation Fund (Parks & Recreation Trust Fund)
The Land and Water Conservation Fund is administered for the U.S. Department of
Interior through the N.C. Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources,
Division of Parks and Recreation. This program makes funds available to local
governments on a matching basis for land acquisition and recreation facility
improvements. This program has provided numerous grants over the past years, but the
amount of funds available is limited and thus grant applications are very competitive.
Grants have normally ranged from $35,000 to $75,000.

C. Water Resources Development Grant Program
This program is administered by the Division of Water Resources in the Department of
Environment, Health and Natural Resources. The program makes funds available to
local governments on a matching basis for general and recreational navigation, flood
control, drainage, stream restoration, beach protection, recreation and aquatic weed
control. There are two funding cycles each year, with applications generally due by
January 1 and July 1. State funds are available for the non-federal share of the project
at the following participation level: navigation (80 %), recreational navigation (25 %),
water management (66-2/3 %), stream restoration (66-2/3 %), beach protection (75 %),
water based recreation (50%), and control (50%). Grants have averaged approximately
$32,000.

d. Fishing Access Program
The Marine Resources Commission has a Fishing Access Program for the purpose of
increasing land -based fishing opportunities. The program makes funds available to local
governments on a 25 % local/75 % reimbursed matching basis for facilities such as fishing
piers, bulkheads with cantilevers, capping jetties and catwalks on bridges. Funds are
available for projects on coastal waters under the jurisdiction of the Division of Marine
Fisheries, but not for inland waters. Initial inquiry is made by means of a letter of
notification of intent to apply to the Division of Marine Fisheries. Grants have normally
ranged from $10, 000 to $40, 000.

e. Boat Ramp Program
The Wildlife Resources Commission has a Boat Ramp Program and makes technical
assistance available to local governments for the purposes of constructing boat ramps on
either public property or on private property with at least a 20-year lease to the
Commission. The Wildlife Resources Commission will construct and maintain the ramp;
however, they have limited funds for constructing new ramps and are focusing efforts
on maintaining the launching areas they have previously constructed.. In addition,
priority projects are scheduled in advance for a two-year period. Sites for possible
consideration should be brought to the attention of Charles R. Fullwood, Director of the
Wildlife Resources Commission.

f. Secondary Roads Program
The Department of Transportation's Secondary Road Program can be used for the
construction of public roads that would be added to the state's secondary road network.
One example of this type of project is the construction of a short access road to an
estuarine access site on the Newport River in Carteret County.

g. Other Programs
Other state programs for land acquisition include the Division of Coastal Management's
Estuarine Sanctuary Program and Natural Areas Acquisition Program. These programs
are generally funded, and projects must meet state and federal criteria and requirements.
Usually, Division of Coastal Management staff establish acquisition priorities; however,
local efforts can bring potential projects to the attention of the state. Examples of this
include both the Masonboro Island and the Permuda Island acquisition projects. In both
instances, local citizens' efforts helped to make state officials aware of the value of
protecting the properties in their natural state through public acquisition.
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 34 -

2. Potential Local Funding Sources
The local government has perhaps the heaviest financial burden with respect to providing
public access. Not only must the local government pay for land acquisition and/or construction
(with or without grant assistance), but then it must also pay for the daily maintenance of the
accessways and the long-term maintenance of the access facilities. Development of a youth
sailing center would most likely have to be funded with local and/or private funds.
Some of the potential funding sources available to the city include general fund revenues,
general obligation bond revenues, impact fees, occupancy tax revenues, subdivision regulation
dedication requirements, parking fees, and volunteer efforts.
3. Potential Sources of Non -Shoreline Access Funding
a. North Carolina Department of Transportation
Beautification projects are also funded by the DOT. The Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991, which reauthorized federal aid for highways and
public transit for fiscal years 1992 through 1997, provided funding for "transportation
enhancements. " Enhancements include the following activities:
Scenic easements, scenic sites, scenic highway programs, landscaping and other
scenic beautification.
Preservation of abandoned railway corridors (including conversion and use for
pedestrian or bicycle trails).
Historic preservation; historic sites; historic highways program; rehabilitation and
operations of historic transportation buildings, structures or facilities (including
historic railroad facilities and canals).
Pedestrian and bicycle facilities.
Control and removal of outdoor advertising.
Archaeological planning and research.
Mitigation of water pollution due to highway runoff.
Enhancements in North Carolina are handled through the state's TIP process. The city
should contact the DOT and/or its DOT board member to discuss specific projects.

b. Division of Archives and History
The Division of Archives and History provides both planning assistance and specific
project funding. Grants are available on a 50150 matching basis to assist in the
delineation of historic districts. In addition, state grants of up to $100,000 are available
for the development and adaptive reuse of historically significant properties. Restoration
of the Depot (if held in public ownership) may be a candidate for these funds. The funds
are competitively awarded and do not require a match.

C. Rural Tourism Development Grants
Rural Tourism Development grants are available through the North Carolina Department
of Commerce. Funding varies from year to year depending upon the state budget
allocation. In addition, specific program guidelines are subject to change annually. The
following provides a summary of the fiscal year 1994-95 program:
1) Description of the Program
The Rural Tourism Development Grant Program was created by the
North Carolina General Assembly to enhance economic growth through
tourism development in the rural areas of the state. The program for
fiscal year 1994-95 consisted of a $400,000 fund intended "... to
encourage the development of new tourism projects and activities in rural
areas of the state." For the purpose of this program, the Travel and
Tourism Division has adopted the definition of 'Rural" established by
North Carolina's Rural Economic Development Center, specifically those
counties having population densities of less than 200 persons per square
mile. This includes 85 North Carolina counties, but specifically does not
include Cumberland, Gaston, Davidson, New Hanover, Guilford,
Buncombe, Alamance, Rowan, Cabarrus, Catawba, Forsyth,
Mecklenburg, Durham, Orange and Wake. Additional consideration is
given to more economically distressed rural counties. Proposed projects
should be of a durable and lasting nature, visible in the community to
inspire others to succeed, and capable of generating measurable,
verifiable, long-term economic growth through increased tourism.
2) Purpose
The Rural Tourism Development Grant Program is designed to:
-- Encourage the initiation and implementation of creative new tourism -
related projects and activities having the capacity to enhance long-term
economic growth in North Carolina's rural areas through increased travel
activity;
-- Encourage the implementation of cooperative regional tourism
development projects and activities, not exclusive of efforts within
individual communities or among communities within a given rural
county;
-- Provide funds through grants to destination marketing and non-profit
organizations for the development and recruitment of tourism businesses
and attractions;
-- Foster the development and growth of regional tourism marketing and
development organizations in rural areas of the state;
-- Leverage funds from non -state sources for tourism development
projects and activities.
City of Washington Shoreline Access Plan - 3 -

3) Eligibility
Any statutorily empowered tourism marketing/development agency, or
legally chartered non-profit North Carolina organization in a designated
rural county that includes tourism marketing and/or development among
its major activities, may apply for funds under this program.
Documentation of legal status, tax exemption, and federal identification
number is required with application.
4) Maximum Grant Amount
No recipient or new tourism project received a total of more than
$25,000 of these grant funds for the 1994-95 fiscal year.
5) Matching Formulae
The matching formulae favors economic growth in the less affluent areas
of our state. Ranked on the basis of lowest per capita income, slowest
population growth, and highest unemployment, organizations in counties
1 through 20 will be required to provide one non -state dollar for every
four state dollars awarded. Those in counties 21-50 must provide one
non -state dollar for every three state dollars, and in counties 51-85, one
non -state dollar will be required for each dollar received from the state.
In fiscal year 1994-95, Pamlico County ranked 58.
6) . _ .Appropriate Uses of Grant Funds
Appropriate projects for which grant funds might be used include:
-- Research - marketing and other types of necessary research or studies
upon which to base a long-range, tourism -based economic development
plan;
-- Planning - needs assessment and implementation of a long-range,
tourism -based economic development plan;
-- Capital Projects - equipment purchase, renovation or construction of
facilities. Capital uses are only permitted in support of program
development, and expenditures for office equipment may not exceed 25 %
of the total grant awarded.
-- Training - development and presentation of hospitality, management,
marketing and/or other types of tourism training programs to enhance
long-term economic growth by improving a community's competitive
position;
-- Technical Assistance/Contractual Services - services provided by
outside vendors under contract that will result in enhanced long-term
economic growth and the creation of new jobs
