TOWN OF KELFORD
Land Use Plan Update
1994
L BACKGROUND
Kelford is located in northwestern Bertie County at the headwaters of the Cashie
River approximately three (3) miles from the Northampton County line. The Town is small
both in geographic size (about .3 Square miles with no extraterritorial jurisdiction) and
population (204 persons 1990 census). The Town is situated between the river valleys of
the Cashie and Roanoke Rivers. Kelford is about two miles south of the Town of Roxobel
and about four miles east of the Roanoke River.
Farming has always been important in the Kelford area. Land in the northwestern
portion of Bertie County was being cultivated before 1722 when the County was
incorporated. In the early years of agricultural cultivation small farms were separated by
many miles of forrest lands. Goods and products were transported along navigable
waterways. Therefore the settlements in the eastern part of North Carolina occurred in
areas along navigable waters. Windsor, the county seat of Bertie County, was incorporated
in 1768. It began as a small port community on the Cashie River. Winton, on the banks
of the Chowan River in Hertford County to the north, was incorporated in 1787.
Washington, on the Pamlico River in Beaufort County to the south, was incorporated in
1776. Kelford is a young community in contrast: the Town was incorporated in 1893.
The railroad brought people and prosperity to Kelford. In the late 1890s, there were
two major railroad companies with established tracks and depots inside the Town limits.
At the turn of the century, the railroad functioned as the economic and geographic center
of the Town. The corporate limits of the community were defined by the railroad, the
Town at that time being "one thousand yards square, with the boundary being equal on the
north, east, south and west, the crossing of the Norfolk and Carolina Railroad and the
Roanoke and Tar River Railroad being the center or starting point and running five
hundred yards each way from said railroad crossing."
The establishment of the automobile as America's major mode of transportation
changed the character of Kelford. As the railroad declined so too did many local
businesses. The Town has fewer residents and fewer businesses now than it did in the
heydays of the railroad.

A. Population
Kelford is one of eight incorporated communities in Bertie County. The
County itself occupies about 700 square miles of northeastern Coastal North
Carolina (Map #1). It is one of the State's largest rural counties. Farm land
account for 38.4% of all land in the County. The 309,100 acres of forest land make
up approximately 70% of total land acreage in County, while urban and built-up
areas account for 3% of the County's land area.
Bertie County is part of a five -county planning region comprised of Beaufort,
Bertie, Hertford, Martin, and Pitt Counties. Bertie is the smallest of the five
counties in terms of total population (Table 1). In 1990, Bertie County's population
was 20,388 persons, less than half the population of Beaufort County and about one -
fifth the population of urbanized Pitt County. Although Hertford and Martin
Counties are only slightly larger in total population, population density in these
counties is much greater, because of their relative small geographical size when
compared to Bertie County.

Bertie County has grown over the last two decades but growth has been very
slow. Between 1970 and 1980, the County grew by just 2.4%, the population
however decreased by 3.02% between 1980 and 1990. Between 1980 and 1990 both
Hertford and Martin Counties have experienced a similar population decreases
(Figure 1). In contrast, the more urbanized counties of Beaufort and Pitt grew
between 1980 and 1990. Between 1980 and 1990, Beaufort County grew by 4.7% and
' Pitt County by 29% .

In 1990 Kelford had 204 residents according to the Census of Population and
Housing. Kelford is the second lowest population of all towns in Bertie County.
Only Askewville is estimated to have a smaller population. Between 1970 and 1980
the Town lost about 14% of its population. The loss in population continued in the
' 1980's, with the Town losing about 19% of its population during that decade.(Table

OF POPULATION
' The Town has a fairly elderly population (Table 3). In 1980, one of every
four persons in the Town was 65 years of age or older (27%). The 1990 Census
revealed that 19.6% of Kelford population was 65 years or older. The percentage
of Bertie County population 65 and older in 1990 was 14.6%. (Table 4)

The Town is not subject to seasonal changes in population. Tourists visiting
the area are generally day or overnight visitors.
B. Housing
The 204 residents reported to be living in Kelford in 1990 were housed in
about 103 units. About 2.5 persons reside in every household, a slightly lower figure
'
than the average for the County as a whole, which had 2.7 persons per household.
The County began tracking building permits in July 1985. The County
'
Inspections Department however does not record the number of building permits by
town. According to local officials since 1988 there has been one single family
dwelling constructed in Kelford and five mobile homes located in the Town limits.
Single -person households account for 35% of all households in the Town.
Typically these households are elderly females (65 or older) living alone. Over 60%
'
of all persons living alone are over the age of 65. Most of the units in Town are
single-family units (over 99%), which indicates the lack of multi -family housing and
is consistent with the 85% and 78% in the County and region -wide, respectively.
'
With an aging population, there could be an increasing need for multi -family living
situations. Less than ten percent (10%) of the units are without plumbing. Less than
twenty percent (20%) of all units in Town are renter occupied, slightly lower than
the twenty-two 22% for the County, and dramatically lower than the thirty-one
percent (31%) found region -wide.

C. Economy and Income
' About thirty-eight percent (38%) of employees in the County are employed
in manufacturing operations, compared to 27% State wide (Table 7). Wholesale and
retail trade enterprises employ 16% of all County employees. Although farming and
forestry is the dominate land use in the area, only 11% of the labor force in 1990
listed employment in farming, forestry, fisheries, or mining operations. The
remaining 35% are employed in other fields, such as education, construction, health
services, etc.
There are several large manufacturing operations in the Kelford area.
Perdue, Incorporated employs over 3,000 persons and is the County's largest
' employer. The plant, which processes chickens, is located halfway between Kelford
and Lewiston -Woodville. Gregory Manufacturing has a steel fabrication operation
in Lewiston -Woodville. Employment varies between 100 and 250 persons.
' Louisiana-Pacific Corporation operates a sawmill outside Lewiston -Woodville. The
plant typically employs between 50 and 100 area residents.

The Coca-Cola Bottling Company was the oldest and largest business in
' Kelford. The Company was established in Kelford in 1914 and served as a
distribution center rather than a bottling plant. The Bottling Company has burned
down since the last Land Use Plan and has not been rebuilt. There are two small
1 businesses located in Kelford, an auto repair shop and a combination convenient-
store/game room.
In 1990 the County labor force consisted of 8,903 persons, down from the
' 9,240 persons in 1980. The unemployment rate in 1990 was 7%, only Martin County
at 7.2% had a higher unemployment rate in the five -county region (Table 8).
Although the unemployment rate has dropped since 1980, per capita income in the
' County continues to lag behind the regional and statewide averages (Table 9)

Kelford is an inland community not situated on a water body, but it is located in the
coastal region. As such, the town does not have to address many of the issues coastal
communities must address, such as the following: encroachment into maritime forests, off -
road vehicle use, encroachment into coastal dune fields, channel maintenance and beach
' nourishment, and marinas and floating homes. However due to the presence of cultural
features as well as limited public services the Town realizes the importance of land use
planning. The Town advocates growth and at the same time wishes to preserve some of the
environmental and social characteristics that make Kelford special. This Land Use Plan
Update will attempt to accomplish the following:
' 1. to further define and refine local policies and issues;
2. to examine and refine the land classification map;
3. to assess the effectiveness of the existing land use plan and it's implementation;
' 4. to further explore implementation procedures; and
S. to promote a better understanding of the land use planning process.
' H. LAND USE
' A. Existing Conditions
Bertie County has a total area of 741.22 square miles, of which 699.24 square
' miles is land area and 41.98 square miles is water. Kelford's town limits encompass
an area of approximately .3 square miles. The Town has not adopted a local zoning
ordinance and therefore does not have an extraterritorial planning jurisdiction,
although the maps show this area for planning purposes. The Town is relatively
elliptical in shape. North Carolina highway 308 bisects the community into eastern
and western halves and the Seaboard Coast rail line divides the community in a
' north -south direction. The Map of Existing Land Use, reveals that the majority of
the land within the Town limits has been developed. A overwhelming majority of
the land is used for residential purposes. Single family housing units that are owner
occupied make up the majority of residential housing units. Mobile homes are
considered single family units and account for nineteen percent (20 units) of the total
housing units.
' The are no industrial uses in the Town. However there are two small
commercial establishments, both of which are located on highway 308.
Institutional uses include the Town Hall and Fire Station, the Post Office, the
' community park located across from the Town Hall, and several churches. Areas
outside of Town have remained fairly undeveloped. Much of the area has been
cleared for agriculture, leaving pockets of woodland between open agricultural land.
' Residential uses are found scattered along existing roadways, especially along N.C.
308 between Kelford and Lewiston -Woodville.
' B. Land Use Concerns
' The Land Use Planning Committee identified six major concerns facing
Kelford. First, off street parking for businesses located on Highway 308. Customers

to downtown businesses must park on Highway 308, which poses a threat to the
'
safety of customers as well as motorist. Trucks going to the Perdue plant also use
Highway 308 which adds to the danger of on -street parking.
Town is also concerned with vandalism of the municipal park. The park is
'
located across from the Town Hall off of Front Street. It contains two basketball
goals, sliding board, swings, picnics table and gazebo. The basketball goals and
gazebo have been vandalized and some people consume alcoholic beverages on the
'
park grounds. Most of the respondents to the citizens survey rank recreational
services in Kelford as poor.
Kelford currently has only two businesses in Town. The small number of
'
businesses and the lack of industries make it almost impossible for the Town to
provide employment opportunities for residents.
A third land use concern noted by committee members is the possible
presence of underground storage tanks. Some committee members felt that there
are abandoned storage tanks that could cause future problems if leakage occurs.
Another land use concern is the presence of vacant un-maintained lots and
dilapidated buildings throughout the Town. Of special concern are lots along N.C.
308, residents feel that vacant lots and dilapidated buildings along the highway create
a negative community image. The Town would like to see vacant lots developed with
residential structures and dilapidated buildings demolished and replaced with good
quality residential dwellings.
Finally, although not directly related to land use, the Town is concerned with
the status of it's volunteer fire and rescue departments. Each year more and more
training is being required for volunteers. The Town would like to pursue the
possibility of obtaining grants to offset some of the cost.
C. Current Plans, Policies and Regulations
' 1. Re ug_latory Controls
' The Town has few local controls in place to control land development.
Because there are undeveloped parcels in Town local officials are considering
adopting some type of land use controls such as zoning or subdivision
regulations. The Town has not been mapped by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency and as a result, no floodplain regulations are in effect.
The Bertie County Building Inspector enforces the N.C. State Building
' Code. The Town has adopted a housing code to facilitate improvement or
demolition of deteriorated structures. The Bertie County Health Department
enforces State regulations for the setting up and installation of septic tanks.
The Town has no historic district or historic district regulations.
Additional State and Federal regulations that control land use and
development are listed in Appendix A.
i
1 10

2. Other Local Plans
' The Town adopted a Water Supply Plan in March of 1994. The
Kelford Water Supply Plan was prepared by the Mid -East Commission to
' satisfy a State mandate. The plan has no regulatory authority but is simply
a document to show that the Town has given thought to it's future water
needs.
The town has not adopted an official Capital Improvement Plan. The
Town does not have any plans of making major capital improvements however
the Town plans to apply for Community Development Block Grant funding
for housing improvements. The Town currently does not have an official
transportation plan or recreation plan.
Kelford adopted its "Initial Land Use Plan" in 1988. The 1988 plan
enumerated policy statements and implementation strategies on Resource
Protection, Resource Production and Management, Economic and
Community Development, Storm Hazards and Public Participation. An
' abbreviated version of these policy statements, including an evaluation of
effectiveness begins on page 16.
' D. Development Constraints
Development constraints can be classified into one of two categories, Land
Suitability and Carrying Capacity. Constraints associated with land suitability are
subdivided into three categories: physical limitations, fragile areas, and areas of
' resource potential. Kelford is fortunate in that there are few factors associated with
land suitability constraining the development of land in and around the Town.
' Physical Limitations for Development.
A variety of physical factors determine the suitability of land for
development. These include soil and subsoil conditions, topography, potential
for flooding, and existing land uses in the surrounding area.
Soil conditions determine the suitability of land for building
construction and for in -ground sewage disposal systems. The major soils in
the Kelford area are listed in Table 9. As shown on Map 3A, the Kelford
Soils Map and in Table 9, the Kelford area contains seven soil types. Soil
' types NoA, NoB, and GoA are the common soils found within the Town
limits. These soils are also found extensively outside of Town in conjunction
with soil type Ra. Since the Town does not have a public sewage treatment
' system, any new development in the area is likely to use private in -ground
treatment for sanitary waste disposal. As noted in Table 9, four of the area's
seven soil types have severe limitations for the installation of septic systems.
' Soils unsuitable for traditional in -ground treatment systems are likely to be
the greatest physical factor limiting development in the Kelford area.

fl
Steep slopes can often limit development, however topography in the
Kelford area like much of the land in Eastern North Carolina is fairly level.
The land reaches a high point at 93 feet in elevation on the west side of N.C.
308 and slopes gently away to the east to reach a low elevation of 75 feet (see
Map of Kelford Topography). Flood -prone areas can also limit development.
Kelford has not been mapped for floodplain areas by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency so it appears that there are no flood -prone areas within
-the community. Manmade hazards do not appear to be a significant
development constraint.
Aside from several underground storage tanks in the Town, there are
no manmade development hazards in the Kelford area.
A long-term constraint to development may be posed by the availability
of water resources. The Town obtains its municipal water supply from
groundwater sources. Kelford receives its water out of the Upper Cape Fear
aquifer. The Town on average uses .018 million gallons of water daily. The
maximum safe yield pumping capacity of both wells are .043 mgd. The wells
are operating only at 42% of capacity. On the average each person in
Kelford uses approximately 76.37 gallons of water per day. Although the
Town does not supply the Perdue Plant with water, Town officials are still
concerned about the long-term effects of large water withdrawals by the
Perdue Plant on the Upper Cape Fear aquifer. The impact of long-term
withdrawals from other large users have already been documented.
Researchers have noted that large withdrawals from the Cretaceous aquifer
near Franklin, Virginia, have lowered the surface of the Lower Cape Fear
aquifer near the Kelford area over the past 20 years. The 1988 land use plan
does not refer to the Upper Cape Fear Aquifer. The State Division of Water
Resources at the time of the previous plan had not subdivided the large
Cretaceous Aquifer into smaller more well defined sub -aquifers, with minor
ridges separating the smaller aquifers. The Upper Cape Fear is one of the
small sub -aquifers of the previous large Cretaceous Aquifer.
(NOTE: the information on groundwater supply was taken from the document, "The Town of Kelford Water Supply Plan 1994")
Fragile Areas. The Kelford area has no Areas of Environmental Concern
(AECs) as defined by the State Coastal Area Management Act. According to the
State Division of Parks and Recreation (Natural Heritage Program) there is no
record of any rare or endangered species, rare natural communities or geologic
features within a one -mile radius of the Town. The Town does however have other
natural and cultural features which are important to the area including
a narrow strip of wetlands that wrap around the northern and eastern sides of the
Town (see Map 3B).
Wetland areas are likely to pose a slight limitation to development in the
area. As more is learned about the functions of wetlands, the vital role they play in
the protection of water quality and the survival of certain animal and plant species
become increasingly apparent. Inland wetlands furnish vital life -cycle habitat and

Potential "404" Wetland Areas
•

food for fish and wildlife. Wetlands have been proven to remove pollutants from
' degraded waters. At the same time, wetlands absorb flood -volumes so that flood
waters and surges are moderated and property in downstream areas is protected.
Within the wetlands, it has been found that undisturbed nverine vegetation can help
filter pollutants (including pesticides and soils) that are often swept off adjacent
lands by stormwater runoff. Finally, wetlands serve to recharge vital groundwater
supplies. In 1977, Congress amended the Clean Water Act to regulate the alteration
' of wetland areas under section 404(b) of the Act; a permit is now required from the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers before certain inland wetland areas are filled.
According to the State Division of Archives and History, there are no known
' archeological sites or structures listed in the National Register of Historical Places
in the Kelford area. Bertie County however has several sites that are listed among
North Carolina National Register of Historic Places, a list of which is included in
Appendix C. The closest of these sites is located in the Roxobel area and include
the following; Woodbourne house, Pineview (Browne House) and Oaklana.
Although the Town technically does not have any historical structures there are two
' structures believed to be architecturally significant: The Kelford Depot and the
former Kelford School (see Map 2). According to State preservation officials, the
Kelford School "is one of the finest rural schools in the eastern part of the State.
' The school was most recently used as a residence, however today it stands vacant.
The owner of the old school now resides out of the State while maintenance of the
structure is neglected.
Areas of Resource Potential. Areas having the following characteristics are
considered as "areas of resource potential': mineral sites, publicly owned forests, fish
and gamelands, privately owned wildlife sanctuaries. No such areas have been
' identified in the Kelford region. However the Town does have a public park and
contains areas with prime farmland. These two areas are also considered areas of
' resource potential. Unfortunately due to the Town's inability to pay insurance on
the park, the Town Board voted to close the park.
' As stated earlier in this plan three of the area's seven soils types are considered prime
farmland soils by the Soil Conservation Service. As noted on Map 3A, about 25% of all
land within one-half mile of Kelford is considered prime farmland soil. In the Kelford area,
' soil types GoA, NoA and NoB are described as prune farmland soils. The following
characteristics are associated with prime farmland soils:
prime farmland is one of several kinds of important farmland defined by the
U.S.D.A.
it is of major importance in providing the nation's short and long range needs
for food and fiber.
* the acreage for high -quality farmland is limited; the U.S.D.A. recognizes that
government at local, state and federal levels, as well as individuals, must
13

11
encourage and facilitate the wise use of our nation's prune farmland.
' * prune farmland soils are those soils that are best suited to produce food, feed,
forage and fiber; prune farmland soils have properties that are favorable for
the economic production of sustained high yields of crops.
* prime farmland soils produce the highest yields with minimal inputs of energy
' and economic resources, and farming these soils result in the least damage to
the environment.
Nationally there has been a trend to develop prime farmland for urban purposes. The loss
of such land pushes agricultural uses on marginal lands, which generally require more
investments to cultivate.
P,
Carrying Capacity
The carrying capacity of a town may be determined by an examination of water and
sewer systems, schools, landfill, police and fire protection, public administration and
transportation system. The potential limitations public services may place on future growth
must be examined in light of current service capacity and growth projections.
As illustrated in the statistical section of this plan the population of Kelford declined
by 19.68% between 1980 and 1990. The Town's population is likely to continue to decline
in the future. Bertie County experienced a 3.02% decline in its population between 1980
and 1990. The County's population is projected to continue to decrease well into the next
decade. If current trends hold true with Kelford's population continuing to decrease the
Town should have little difficulty providing services for it's future population. The capacity
of the Town to provide local public services is summarized below. Projected population
growth should not exceed the ability of local government to provide for additional demand.
Current water supply and police, fire, and refuse services all should be adequate to meet
the demand expected over the next five years.
Water Service. Almost all properties within the corporate limits are serviced with
public water. The Town has two wells which pump approximately 7,500 gallons per hour.
The Town's elevated storage tank has a capacity of 75,000 gallons. Unless a major industry
which uses a large amount of water locates and connects to Kelford's system, the Town's
water system should adequately serve demand over the next five years. The "Town of
Kelford Water Plan 1994" indicate that the two wells are operating only at 42% of their
capacity. The water plan gives a projected water demand for the Town to the year 2020.
Figure 1 of the water plan show that the Town's two wells are adequate to meet future peak
demands. If population projections are correct the year 2000 will mark the highest demand
on the Town's water system.
Sewer Service. The Town does not operate a municipal wastewater treatment
system; all lots are served by private on -site disposal systems. There are no plans to
14

construct a waste water treatment facility in the near future.
Public Schools. Kelford students in grades kindergarten through five attend the West
Bertie School Elementary. Students in grades six through eight attend Southwestern Middle
' School. Board of Education officials report that all schools have enrollment at or above
capacity. Student enrollment the three schools are as follows: West Bertie Elementary -
525 students; Southwestern Middle School - 661 students; Bertie High School - 1,131
' students.
Due to the fact that Bertie County's population is aging, the population pressures
that now exist on the school system should decline in the future. An analysis of Table 4
shows that school age children (5-18) will account for a lower percentage of the County's
total population in the future. The school -age population is projected to decline from 23%
of the population in 1990 to 20% of the population in 2005.
Roads. Lack of service by a major interstate highway is often cited as one of the
maJ
major factors that has restricted growth in northeastern North Carolina. It is unlikely that
' this situation will change in the foreseeable future given the limited federal funding
available for highway construction. No major highway projects are scheduled for the
' Kelford area according to the State's Transportation Improvement Program. Although most
of the roads in Town are paved, none of the existing roads have curb and gutter. North
Carolina Department of Transportation paved Black Jack Rd. which runs parallel to the
railroad tracks in 1991. The paving of Black Jack road was the only road improvement in
' Kelford since the initial plan.
Protective Services. Police protection is provided by the Bertie County Sheriff's
' Department. Six officers provide police protection for the County. Local residents feel
additional protection is needed in the Kelford area, especially for traffic enforcement
' along N.C. 308.
The Kelford Volunteer Fire Department provides fire and rescue service. The
Department has one truck and one rescue vehicle. Local residents report the department
' is in need of additional members. Because of the increased number of required
certifications and class course work the size of the Volunteer Fire Department risk
becoming smaller.
' Solid Waste. Refuse is collected weekly by the Town utilizing an old flatbed truck
that may soon need replacing. The Bertie County landfill is no longer in service, refuse is
' now transported to the regional landfill operated by East Carolina Environmental. The
landfill serves twelve counties in northeastern North Carolina. The regional landfill was
designed to operate for twenty years.
' Public Administration. Kelford has two P
a employees: o em taid art -tune
P P Y
maintenance/sanitarian and a part-time clerk. The Town is governed by a five -member
council which also functions as the planning board. Each member of the Board is paid
$10.00 monthly for their service.

20

III. 1994 POLICY O$IEGT M AND IMPLEMENTATION
This Plan represents an update of the Town's initial plan adopted in 1988.
The Coastal Area Management Act regulations specify that all land use plans shall contain
policy statements of local policy on land use issues including, but not limited to, the
following policy areas: resource protection, resource production and management,
economic and community development, storm hazard mitigation, and continued public
participation. Because little has changed in Kelford in the last five years many of the stated
policies of 1988 are still relevant today.
A. Resource Protection
Because Kelford is a inland community many coastal land use concerns are
not issues for Kelford. Coastal land use issues that do not apply to Kelford include
the following; marina and floating home development, development of sound and
estuarine system island, and bulkhead installations.
Farmland, woodland, and possible areas of freshwater wetlands are the major
natural resources in the Kelford area. These resources must be properly utilized and
managed to be protected. Although there are no major creeks or rivers per se near
Kelford, a marshy area just east of Town functions as the headwaters of the Cashie
River. There are no Areas of Environmental Concern in Kelford, no floodplains,
and no rare natural or geologic features. No threatened or endangered species are
known to inhabit the region. Nonetheless, the Town appreciates the natural
resources, natural areas, the plants and wildlife that do characterize the area. The
Town will not support development that will have negative impacts on its valued
natural resource base.
Cultural resources are also important to Kelford residents. There are no
structures in the area listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The former
Kelford School is beginning to show signs of deterioration due to neglect. The Town
also has a number of attractive older homes which, while not considered significant
historically, are a valued community amenity and make up the character of the Town.
Groundwater supplies Kelford residents with potable water. The Town has
two wells that are capable of pumping .086 mgd. Approximately .018 mgd of water
is consumed by local water customers. Residential water use accounts for seventy-
five percent (75%) of the total water discharge. Kelford has a finished water storage
capacity of 75,000 gallons, in the form of an above ground storage tank. In 1993 the
State began requiring local water selling entities to develop a Water Supply Plan.
These water supply plans are to be compiled and serve as building blocks for a State -
Wide Water Supply Plan. Because only water associations that sell water are
required to submit plans many large water users that have private water supplies
and do not sell water such as Perdue are not required to develop a plan. The
Perdue operation, just two miles south of Kelford on N.C. 308, withdraws about
three million gallons of water a day from the region's aquifer. Because Kelford
21

residents recognize the importance of Perdue to the local economy, many are
' concerned that adequate supply be available for continued use by Perdue. The Town
is concerned that adequate supply be available to serve both the Town's public wells
and the many private wells in the surrounding area.
' The Town is also concerned over the threat posed by leaking underground
storage tanks. Local officials believe there could be as many as five abandoned
underground tanks within the Town limits. The Town opposes activities locally or
in other areas, which threaten groundwater quality or quantity.
Kelford does not operate a public sewage treatment system. Residents rely
on septic tanks to dispose of their sewage. Soil limitations for septic tanks in the
Kelford area range from moderate to severe. Failure of septic systems could pose
health and safety hazards as well as environmental concerns.
The following is a listing of policy objectives the Town has adopted to protect
' its sensitive natural resources. Also included is a list of actions the Town will
attempt to take over the next five years in an effort to achieve these policy goals.
1. Constraints to Development:
(a) Soils
Applicability: The limitations of the area soils associated with the
construction of buildings range from severe to slight, however four of
the seven soil types in Kelford have severe soil limitations for septic
tanks. The remaining three soil types have moderate limitations for
' septic tanks..
Alternatives: Adopt no regulations at this time; support development
in areas that are suitable for development.
Policy: Discourage building in areas where land is not physically
suitable for septic systems.
' Strategy: Support strict enforcement of the State Environmental
Health Code regarding the installation, operation, and maintenance of
septic tanks.
(b) Floodprone Areas
Applicability: Kelford has not been mapped for floodplain areas by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency so there are no official
flood zones. However the areas to the East and North just outside of
Town and adjacent to the headwaters of the Cashie River are believed
to be prone to flooding. It is believed that these areas are also
wetlands. If these areas prove to be wetlands no alterations to the
lands can occur without a permit from the Army Corps of Engineers.
22

Alternatives: Do nothing and let the Army Corps of Engineers handle
' these matters; adopt a local zoning ordinance restricting development
around the Cashie River.
' Policy: Discourage development in areas that may be in danger of
flooding.
' Strategy #1: Areas adjacent to the headwaters of the Cashie River
should be classified as conservation areas on the Land Classification
Map.
' Strategy #2: Support the efforts of the Army Corps of Engineers to
control the alteration of freshwater wetlands through the 404 wetlands
permitting program.
2. Local Resource Development Issues Relative to AECs
Kelford does not have any areas designated as AECs by CAMA.
Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
3. 404 Wetlands
Applicability: The Army Corps of Engineers regulates the
development or alteration of 404 wetlands. There has. been much
' debate concerning what is considered wetlands. The most likely site
for wetlands is located in the northeastern section of the Town along
the headwaters of the Cashie River.
Alternatives: Adopt regulations as restrictive as state and federal
regulations concerning development in these areas; do not adopt any
local regulations concerning this issue.
Policy: Support the Army Corps of Engineers efforts to regulate these
areas.
Strategy: Report development activities on any land believed to be
wetlands to the Army Corps of Engineers.
4. ORW's THIS ISSUE DOES NOT APPLY
5. Shellfish Waters THIS ISSUE DOES NOT APPLY
1 23

6. Cultural and Historical Resources
Applicability: As mentioned earlier there are no structures listed in
the National Register of Historic Places. The Town however does
share a sense of identity with the old structures scattered throughout
' the Town.
' Alternatives: Pursue methods of encouraging owners of older
properties to preserve them; do nothing and allow older structures to
continue to deteriorate.
' Policy: Preserve - and promote the Town's historic and cultural
resources.
' Strategy: Continue to work with property owners of older structures
in Town to ensure structures are properly maintained.
' 7. Maritime Forest
' Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
8. Pocosin
' Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
9. Hurricane and Flood Evacuation Plans
Applicability: This topic is discussed in great detail in the following
section. Kelford operates under the adopted Bertie County Disaster
Relief and Assistance Plan. The County's Emergency Management
Coordinator is responsible for developing and conducting exercises to
test the effectiveness of the plan.
Alternatives: Follow the guidelines of the Bertie County Emergency
' Operation Plan.
' Policy: Support all the efforts and actions spelled out in the Bertie
County Disaster Relief and Assistance Plan.
1 Strategy: Work with the County's Emergency Management
Coordinator to test evacuation procedures.

L
10. Means of Protecting Potable Water Supply.
Applicability: Kelford receives all its potable water from two
underground wells. If underground water in the area becomes
contaminated it could threaten the health of local residents.
Alternatives: Let appropriate State agencies handle all water quality
issues;cooperate with state agencies to enforce water quality standards.
Policy: Cooperate with State agencies to enforce water quality
standards.
Strategy #1: Report the location of underground storage tanks to the
appropriate State agency.
Strategy #2: Update the "Town of Kelford Water Supply Plan" every
five years as required by G.S. 143-355(1).
11. Use of Package Treatment Plants
Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
12. Stormwater runoff
Applicability: Stormwater runoff associated with agricultural practices
' and residential development could have a detrimental effect on plant
and animal life in the Kelford area. Pesticides and herbicides used in
many agricultural practices could be washed into creeks and ponds
during rainy periods. There are no phosphate or peat mining
operations in Kelford.
' Alternatives: Adopt land use regulations that would limit development
densities, thereby limiting runoff; work with soil conservation officials
' to encourage farmers to use Best Management Practices (BMPs).
Policy: Reduce the amount of pollutants being washed into creeks and
' ponds.
Strategy #1: Encourage new home builders to leave undisturbed as
much of the natural vegetation as possible.
Strategy #2: Encourage the use of Best Management Practices
' (BMPs) by farmers to reduce the amounts of chemicals used in
agricultural production.
25

13. Marina and Floating Homes
Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
14. Industrial Impacts on Fragile Areas
Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
15. Development of Sound and Estuarine System Islands
Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
16. Restriction of development within areas up to five feet above mean
high water that might be susceptible to sea level rise and wetland loss.
Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
17. Upland Excavation For Marina Basins
Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
18. Damaging of Existing Marshes by Bulkhead Installation.
Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
IB. RESOURCE PRODUCTION AND MANAGEMENT
Although few residents in Kelford work in the agriculture, mining or fishing
industries, agricultural land use is the dominate land use surrounding the Town. The Bertie
' County Soil Survey shows that much of the land surrounding the Town is considered prime
farmland by the U.S. Soil Conservation Service.
The few industries located in the Kelford area such as sawmills and poultry plants
are dependent on the area's natural resources. Bertie County's fertile agricultural land is
considered the area's most valuable natural resource. The Town encourages the use of land
outside the Town limits for farming and agricultural related businesses. The Town wishes
' to limit the possibility of negative effects agricultural uses could have on residential uses and
the surrounding environment.
Kelford does not have much in terms of recreational resources. The only park in
' town will soon have to close because of the high cost of insurance. Most of the recreational
activities that residents participate in such as walking and hunting are not organized events.
Approximately seventy percent (70%) of the land area in Bertie County is forest.
' There are commercial forestry operations in the County, many feel that these operations
will grow in the future. Although there are no commercial forestry operations in the
26

j
Kelford area many private landowners sell timber off their lands to supplement their
income. The Town will support commercial forestry operations that will not have a
negative impacts on the environment.
There are no water bodies in the Kelford area capable of supporting a commercial
fishing operation. There are no mining or mineral production activity taking place in the
Kelford area.
The following is a listing of policy goals the Town has adopted concerning resource
production and management. Included are strategies that the Town will pursue to
implement these policies.
1. Productive Agricultural Lands
Applicability: Much of the vacant land in the Kelford area is considered
prime farmland and in most cases should be used as such. "Best Management
Practices" should be use in agricultural productions to reduce the
environmental impact of producing crops.
Alternatives: Disregard possible negative effects agricultural production can
have on the environment; support the use of BMPs
Policy: The Town will support the use of BMPs in agricultural production.
Strategy: Refer local farmers to the Cooperative Extension agency and Soil
Conservation Service for possible BMPs that can be utilized in their farming
operation.
2. Commercial Forest Lands
Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
3. Existing and Potential Mineral Production Areas
Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
4. Commercial and Recreational Fisheries; Including Nursery and Habitat Areas.
ORW's and Trawling Activities in Estuarine Waters.
Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
5. Off Road Vehicles
Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
27

6. Residential Commercial and industrial land development impacts on any
P P
'
resources
Applicability: The Town in recent years has been losing population, therefore
local officials do not expect much in terms of growth in the next five to ten
'
years. If however growth does occur in Kelford it could have an effect on the
resources in the area. Any kind of development could increase the amount
'
of run-off which would increase the rate of erosion.
Alternative: The Town could adopt subdivision or zoning regulations to
restrict development so that the negative effect of development on resources
'
would be reduced; work with State agencies to monitor the impact
development has on environmental resources.
'
Policy: Support State in requiring erosion control plans for developments
effecting more than one acre.
'
Strategy: Contact the Land Quality Section, Division of Land Resources
when any development disturbs more than one acre of land.
'
7. Peat or Phosphate mining's impacts on any resource
Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
'
C. ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Kelford is a very small community and like much of Bertie County is losing
' population. The Town desires to grow and is willing to do what it can to facilitate that
growth. The Town does not have a diversified tax base therefore most of the taxes that are
' generated come from residential properties in Town. Kelford today is predominately a
bedroom community with the majority of its residents working out of town. There are
several vacant buildings near the center of town. Local officials would like to see these
' buildings rehabilitated and occupied by businesses.
The Town does not have a public sewage treatment system. New developments
would have to install private sewage treatment facilities. The lack of a public sewage
treatment facility is a major factor in prohibiting large scale development in Kelford.
The Town would support commercial development along Hwy 308 if adequate off
street parking could be provided. SR 1135 runs parallel to the Seaboard Rail Road and
' would be suitable for industrial uses. The Town is committed to improving the quality of
life of all its residents. The Town will pursue state and federal grants to aid it in improving
housing conditions, roads, and recreational facilities.
' The following is a listing of policy objectives the Town has adopted to provide for
community growth and economic development.
28

1. Types and Locations of Industries Desired
Applicability: The expansion of existing industries and recruitment of new
industries and commercial enterprises are of major importance to local
officials. Industrial development would not only provide local jobs but also
increase the tax base. All of the respondents of the Citizen Survey reported
that they would like to see the Town grow to some degree. About fifty
percent (50%) of respondents would like to see a little growth while the
other fifty percent would like to see a lot of growth. Heavy industrial
development should be located away from the center of Town so as not to
adversely effect surrounding land uses.
Alternatives: Adopt a local zoning. ordinance, zoning areas along the major
transportation corridors for industrial purposes; allow any industry to locate
in any area.
Policy: The policy shall be to encourage the location of industries based on
the needs of the industries and possible environmental impact.
Strategy #1: Adopt a local zoning ordinance that identifies suitable areas for
industries.
Strategy #2: Also allow certain environmentally friendly industries to locate
in sparsely populated residential areas if developed under strict standards.
Strategy #3: Work with existing State and Federal agencies regulating
industrial pollution control standards.
2. Local Commitment to Providing Services to Development
Applicability: The Town currently provides water to all areas in the Town
limits. Because the water system is operating at forty-two percent (42%) of
its capacity, the Town can easily provide water to future developments. The
Town does not have a wastewater treatment facility.
Alternatives: Alternatives include extending water services out of Town on a
case by case bases.
Policy: The Town will provide water services to structures outside the Town
limits on a case by case bases.
Strategies: The Town will pursue grant funds to offset the cost of extending
' and upgrading water lines. Out of Town water users will be charged double
the rate of in Town users.

Redevelopment of Developed Areas
Applicability: Improving the quality of life and living conditions of residents
in Kelford is a major concern of local officials. Kelford is in the process of
completing a CDBG application.
Alternatives: To continue to pursue grants to rehabilitate depressed areas;
demolish dilapidated structures in town;
Policy: The Town policy shall be to rehabilitate substandard housing and
upgrade local streets.
Strategies: The Town shall continue to pursue grant funding in the form of
CDBG to address the housing needs of the community.
Commitment to State and Federal Programs
Applicability: The Town of Kelford is supportive of State and Federal
Programs which improve the quality of life for its residents. Town officials
are concerned about the implementation of required programs that are not
funded by the State or Federal government. Un-funded mandates put a
hardship on small towns the size of Kelford.
Alternatives: The alternatives are to encourage State and Federal officials to
give financial support for mandates; totally disregard all un-funded programs.
Policy: Kelford will support all State and Federal Programs, especially those
that improve the quality of life for its citizens.
Strategies: Contact State officials to request funding for mandated programs.
Assistance to channel maintenance and beach nourishment projects.
Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
Energy Facility Siting and Development
Applicability: The location of energy facilities are regulated by state agencies.
Because Kelford is a inland community offshore exploration is not a local
concern. If oil become in short supply alternative sources of energy may
become more important.
Alternatives: Alternatives may include developing zoning ordinances that do
not allow generating plants at all; or developing land use regulations
30

'
restricting the location of generatingPlants.
'
Policy: The Town will encourage the location of generating plants in certain
areas.
'
Strategy: Support efforts to locate generating plants in rural areas outside of
Town.
'
7. Tourism
Applicability: Kelford itself is not a destination point for out of state tourists.
However some tourists may pass through the Town to view the regionwide
Historic Albemarle Tour program which encompasses eighteen counties in
' northeastern North Carolina.
Alternatives: The Town could take a more active role in promoting tourism
in the area or could simply support efforts of the Historic Albemarle Tour
program.
Policy: The policy shall be to continue present level of support for the
Historic Albemarle Tour program.
Strategy: Implementation shall occur by making available at Town Hall
literature on the Historic Albemarle Tour.
i8.
Coastal and Estuarine Water Beach Access
'
Applicability: DOES NOT APPLY
9. Types Densities, Location, Units per Acre of Anticipated Residential
'
Development and Services to Support Development
Applicability: Because of the lack of a public sewage treatment facility
development densities will be determined by the septic tank permitting
'
process. High density developments are unlikely without public sewer. The
town supports the concept of a variety of development.
'
The location of a landfill in the planning area of Kelford will not be
an issue in the next five to ten years. The Town's waste is now deposited in
the regional landfill located in Bertie County.
Alternatives: Allow densities to be determined by the amount of land
required to receive a septic tank permit.
Policy: The policy of the Town will be to allow the issuing of septic tank
'
31

1 D.
permits determine development density.
Strategies: Implementation shall occur by supporting the septic tank permit
program of the Bertie County Environmental Health Department.
CONTINUING PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
At the beginning of this update the Land Use Planning Committee adopted a
"Citizen Participation Plan". This "Citizen Participation Plan" included the following
elements:
a. Review and approval of the land use plan by the Town Board of
Commissioners who are elected by the citizens.
b. Conduct an opinion survey to solicit public opinion.
C. Give news interviews of the Land Use Planning Committee activities.
d. All meetings are open to the general public
e. Hold public hearing once draft is completed
f. Hold public hearing prior to the adoption of the Kelford Land Use Plan.
The results of the survey follow on page 32a.
It is possible that the Town may pursue establishing a local zoning ordinance to control land
use development. If a local zoning ordinance is developed a planning board could be
appointed the Town Board of Commissioners. This planning board could be another
source of public participation because it would be composed of local residents.
In order for the public to fully participate in the planning process, the citizens of the
Town must be educated. Public education can be accomplished by holding a round table
discussion on planning issues. Planning Board members may also attend a one week course
at the Institute of Government.
The general public will be kept up to date with current planning decisions by
reporting all important issues and decisions to the Bertie Ledger.
E. Storm Hazards
The Storm Hazard Mitigation, Post -Disaster Recovery and Evacuation Plan, for the
1988 plan was submitted to the Bertie County Emergency Management Coordinator for
review. All recommended changes have been incorporated in this update. North Carolina
is well known for the hurricanes and tropical storms that batter its coastline and the
tornados that ravage inland areas. Typically, the bulk of hurricane storm damage occurs
in coastal areas. Hurricanes and tropical storms have however, caused severe damage in
inland areas in the past. Thus, even inland counties and their local municipalities must
effectively plan for storm hazards. This section summarizes the actions Bertie County and
the Town of Kelford have undertaken to protect residents and resources from the damaging
effects of hurricanes and other major storm events.
32

CITIZEN SURVEY RESULTS

Hazard Areas
The Kelford area has no major creeks or rivers, or floodplain areas as
identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that will pose
a threat during a major storm event. Kelford has no Areas of Environmental
Concern. High winds pose the greatest storm threat in the Kelford area. Falling
trees and blowing debris could severely damage property and threaten human safety.
Heavy rains also pose risks. Although there are no official FEMA-mapped
floodplain areas within the community, drainage swells have been dug throughout
most of the Town and there are several low-lying areas where water collects during
normal rains. A small wetland area adjoins the Town on its
eastern edge. The heavy rain encountered with a major storm event will quickly fill
drainage channels, low spots and wetlands, and localized areas of flooding are likely
to occur.
Evacuation and Reconstruction
Bertie County adopted an Emergency Operation plan in 1994. Kelford is
under the jurisdiction of this plan. The Bertie County Plan is fairly broad in scope,
covering man-made, as well as natural disasters.
The County's Emergency Management Coordinator has the responsibility of
developing and conducting exercises to test the evacuation plan and will coordinate
the action of local emergency services and operations during a storm event. The
County has five designated emergency shelters. Kelford residents would be directed
to the West Bertie School in the event of an emergency.
When damages are experienced, reentry will be based upon damage assess-
ments and any response operations in progress. The County Tax Supervisor is to
serve as County Damage Assessment Officer and carry out the County's Damage
Assessment Plan. Should damage from a storm be especially severe, the County has
the authority to impose a temporary moratorium on all development in the area.
Such a measure would be used only if damage to a particular area is very serious and
if redevelopment of the area in the same manner would pose residents with similar
health and safety problems in the future. Recovery operations will be in accordance
with Section Q of the Bertie County Emergency Operation Plan. After emergency
operations to restore public health and safety and initial damage assessment are
completed, the Kelford Town Council will assume responsibility for ensuring orderly
repair and rebuilding in the Town. The Town advocates the following schedule for
staging and permitting repairs and construction in Kelford: first priority --replacement
of essential services such as power, water, sewer (if available), telephone, and road-
ways; second priority --major repairs; third priority --minor repairs; fourth
priority --new development. All repairs and new development will be in conformance
with applicable State and local development controls. Development outside of Town
in floodprone areas must comply with the County floodplain ordinance.

mitigation and hurricane preparedness activities are listed in Appendix B.
Policy Statements
' The Town acknowledges that the Kelford area is subject to storms that
threaten the health, safety, and welfare of its residents and the integrity of its natural
and cultural resources. In an effort to plan for such natural storm disasters and to
safeguard local residents, resources, and property, the Town has adopted the
following storm hazard policy objectives.
11
1. Reduce the potential for loss of property and human lives through regulatory
controls.
a. Enforce the State building code in all new construction.
2. Increase public awareness of the need for hurricane preparation.
a. Support the "preparedness" program the County Office of Emergency
Management conducts in local schools.
b. Participate in practice and drillexercises sponsored by the Office of
Emergency Management.

LAND CLASSIFICATION
Purpose
Kelford has adopted a system of land classification and an official Land
Classification Map to assist local officials in attaining policy objectives in the areas
of resource protection, resource production, and economic and community
development. Four basic categories of land classification have been developed and
are delineated on the Town's Map of Land Classification.
The Map sets out a proposed development pattern for the Kelford area.
Based on this classification scheme, the Town has designated areas it believes are
appropriate to accommodate additional growth and development, and areas it
believes should be left in a rural condition. The classifications reflect existing and
proposed future land uses and attempt to link land use, policy objectives, and
implementation actions.
Note that although the Town currently does not practice extraterritorial
jurisdiction, local officials have discussed the possibility of developing a zoning
ordinance with an ETJ of up to one-half mile outside of Town. This area is
therefore included on the map according to the classification scheme described
below.
B. Classification Scheme
The Town's land classification scheme is based on the guidelines for land
classification outlined in the Coastal Area Management Act's Land Use Planning
Guidelines. The general characteristics of each class are outlined in Exhibit 2. Of
the seven possible classification choices, only four were deemed appropriate for
Kelford.
1. Developed
The Developed classification encompasses about one-half of the land within
the corporate limits of the Town. This classification reflects existing
development within the Town. Almost all properties within the Developed
area are currently served with public water. Garbage collection, police and
fire protection, and all local public administrative services are also provided
in the Developed area.
2. Urban Transition
Transition areas delineate areas the Town believes are most suitable to
accommodate new development. These areas are currently undeveloped or
developed for very low intensity uses. The Town would prefer that new
development locate in Town rather than in rural outlying areas. By applying
35

the Transition classification to almost all areas within Town, local officials are
attempting to facilitate this pattern of development. New development
occurring in the Transition areas as currently delineated can easily connect
to public water. Garbage collection and Town administrative services would
also be available to new development occurring in Transition areas inside the
Town limits. In addition, Transition areas have access to either the Seaboard
Rail Line, N.C. 308, or both, increasing the likelihood that these areas may
one day be developed. As shown on the Map of Land Classification,
Transition areas adjoin virtually all land within the Town limits not classified
Developed. Transition areas also extend outside of Town north and south
along N.C. 308, and water lines have already been extended north along N.C.
308 about 150 yards.
I3. Rural
The Rural class encompasses most of the land outside of Town. These are
' areas of scattered residential development, farmland, and woodland. The
Town supports the continued use of these areas for agricultural and low
density residential uses.
' 4. Conservation
' The Conservation class denotes areas which, due to their environmentally
sensitive nature or the hazards they pose to development, should be kept
undeveloped. There are few places in the Kelford area where natural hazards
occur. However, according to U.S. Geological Survey topographic maps, a
small area of wetland occurs just east of the corporate limits. This
wetland/swamp joins with two other small streams about two miles south of
Kelford to form the Cashie River. This wetland is shown as Conservation on
the Land Classification Map. This is a low-lying area, about 30 feet lower in
elevation than the Town Hall in the center of Town. This area is wet most
of the year and would be subject to flooding in times of heavy rain. Since
development in this wetland area poses hazards to the developer and could
' have negative impacts on water quality downstream, the area has been
designated Conservation on the Town's Map of Land Classification.
I
C. Intergovernmental Coordination
This Plan was prepared while keeping in mind State and Federal issues that
effect land use, such as historic preservation, environmental impact, hazardous waste
and erosion control. It is not the intent of this plan to undermined any policies
adopted by any governmental agency.
1 The Town's Land Classification Map has been designed to guide the actions
of private developers and public agencies at all levels of government, in activities
36

' affectingland development in the Kelford area. Man of the planning objectives set
P Y
forth in the Town's Land Use Plan will enhance the land use goals of neighboring
communities, the County, and the coastal region as a whole. The Town will work
with the various public groups noted in this report to ensure that the planning
' objectives and policy actions adopted as part of this plan will be implemented as the
Town develops over the next five years.
