INTRODUCTION The ocean and estuarine waters bordering the Town of Kill Devil Hills provide residents and visitors with a variety of recreational and commercial opportunities. These waters attract thousands of seasonal visitors and are certainly the community's greatest natural and economic resource. The provision of public access sites benefits diverse groups 1 of people. Access facilities for residents who do not live on the waterfront ensures them convenient access to the public waters, enhancing their enjoyment of the town's natural amenities as well as the value of their property. Abundant shoreline access facilities will also attract visitors to the beach. When ' the town can provide visitors with facilities such as parking, designated walkways, and litter receptacles, the visitors will have a more pleasant experience, and the town will minimize impacts of visitors on seaside and estuarine neighborhoods and ecosystems. ' Recognizing the importance of shoreline access to the community, the Town adopted its first shoreline access plan in 1979. This plan outlined development goals and objectives for a 1 number of the Town's access sites. In the past ten years, the Town has followed guidelines set by the 1979 plan and developed public access facilities on the ocean front. Since 1979, growth of both permanent and visitor population has increased the demand for shoreline access facilities. At the same time, continued development of private 2 shoreline properties has increased ocean visitor's reliance on public access areas. The Town has updated the Shoreline Access Plan in order to address the present concerns and anticipated future needs of a growing community. The new plan addresses issues which have become a greater priority in recent years. Sixteen public and rprivate access sites have been identified on the sound since 1979. Additional access points have been identified on the ocean as well. The new plan incorporates these new sites and changes in demand for facilities such as parking since 1979. This plan provides an inventory of shoreline access facilities in Kill Devil Hills and provides model standards for access development. Based on an assessment of current needs and ' future demands for public access, this plan outlines a set of objectives for the provision of shoreline access facilities, and suggests priorities for meeting these objectives. i 17, 3 I Ll I 11 II. SHORELINE ACCESS DEVELOPMENT IN KILL DEVIL HILLS A. The local shoreline environment. Planning for shoreline access in Kill Devil Hills must take into account that the Town has two distinct shoreline environments --the ocean shoreline to the east and the estuarine shoreline to the west. Each shoreline supports different activities and requires site specific consideration of particular environmental conditions. Ocean Beach Shoreline A sand beach and dune system characterize the ocean shoreline. The primary environmental consideration at the ocean shore is the protection of the dunes which defend landward development from damage in heavy surf. Vegetation stabilizes the dune, so it is essential that ocean accesses are designed in a way which minimizes the impact of pedestrian and vehicular traffic on the dune vegetation. Pedestrian walkways elevated above the dunes on pilings safeguard the dune and facilitate beach visitors' travel between their automobiles and the beach. People most often use the beach for recreational uses such as swimming, sunbathing, surfing, and fishing. These activities themselves require few facilities other than the beach itself. However, it is important to provide facilities for visitors' convenience such as parking areas, restrooms, showers, and litter barrels. Dune walkovers keep pedestrian traffic from wearing down the dune. While these facilities serve to protect the beach from the impact of visitors, another important consideration is 4 I protecting the visitors from potentially hazardous conditions. To this end, Kill Devil Hills provides lifeguard services at a number of access points, and considers emergency vehicle access in ocean access design. The Town of Kill Devil Hills is committed to providing Lifeguard Services in areas of high swimming activity, giving careful attention to Lifeguard stand placement and the presence of mobile lifeguards in an attempt to provide coverage from stand to stand. Estuarine Shoreline ' The estuarine shoreline consists of shallow water and marsh. The sound's mix of salt and fresh water supports a delicate ecosystem. Development at the sound shoreline must avoid excessive disturbance of the marsh. Recreation at the sound shoreline typically involves nature watching, boating, fishing, windsurfing and sailing. Facilities which support these ' activities include piers, benches, parking and small boat launches. Careful initial construction will minimize the impact ' of shoreline access facilities along the sound. The provision of walkways, litter receptacles and parking areas as needed will minimize the impact of visitors. 5 B. Categories of shoreline access. ' The North Carolina Department of Health, Environment and ' Natural Resources, Division of Coastal Management, which oversees beach access programs at the state level, divides improved shoreline access sites into three categories. For the sake of consistency, the Town utilizes these same categorizations. The three classifications for access points are Local, Neighborhood, and Regional. The model standards for each of these are described below, and Appendix A contains sample site plans and construction guidelines. 1 1. Local Access Local access sites provide a way to the ocean or sound for people who reside within walking distance of the water. Local access points are recommended as frequently as possible, but ideally no more than one quarter mile apart, unless regional and ' neighborhood facilities are available. At a minimum, local access points shall include: * a walkway or maintained path from the road to the shore * a CAMA identification sign and a sign stating applicable Town rules or restrictions. ' * a litter receptacle. 1 2. Neighborhood Access Designed for people who choose to drive to the shoreline, neighborhood access points are ideally located approximately I every one-half mile along the shoreline. Neighborhood access points include: * parking for at least ten vehicles * a wooden walkway or improved path from the parking area to ' the beach or shore * an observation deck where practical at the top of the primary dune or at the sound shoreline * a bicycle parking rack * a CAMA identification sign and a sign stating applicable Town rules and restrictions ' * a litter receptacle * if appropriate, an emergency vehicle access. 3. Regional Access ' Regional access points provide more facilities for visitors than local or neighborhood accesses. Regional access facilities ' should be accessible to the handicapped. Regional access sites have: * parking for a minimum of 24 vehicles ' * restroom and bathhouse facilities * wooden walkways from the parking area to the beach or ' sound shore * an observation deck at the top of the primary dune or end of pier * a bicycle parking rack ' * a CAMA identification sign and a sign stating applicable Town rules and restrictions. * litter receptacles * an emergency vehicle access where appropriate * light fixtures as appropriate 7 III. Legal Tools for Preserving, Perfecting, and Acquiring Beach Access. ' Source: Access to the Nation's Beaches David Brower Means of obtaining access can be classified into three general approaches: 1. Legislation 2. Perfection and protection of existing access 3. Acquisition of new accessways. The selection of tools will depend upon a variety of factors, including local circumstances and access needs, existing legal authority, and available resources. 1. Legislation The legislative approach to access acquisition involves the ' statutory establishment of public rights to beach utilization and access. The legislative approach to the acquisition of beach access is exemplified by the Texas Open Beaches Act. The statute is predicated upon the right of the public to free and unrestricted use and enjoyment of the beach. The act creates a presumption that the public enjoys a prescriptive easement to use ' the area between the mean low tide and the line of ocean front vegetation, or if there is none, the line 200' landward of the ' mean low tide. In North Carolina, public rights of use and access have been established only to the mean high tide line. 1 1 E 1 2. Perfection and Protection of Existing Title and Access Tools employed to preserve and protect access depends on particular titles. Perhaps the most useful protection and preservation tools are the erection of signs identifying public accessways and public maintenance of access ways. Such actions by the local government can both preserve/perfect public rights of access and inform the public as to the location of public accessways. Such actions can serve a variety of purposes. For example, the dedication of subdivision streets is contingent upon acceptance by the appropriate government agency. Although express acceptance is one method to ensure that a legal dedication has in fact occurred, withdrawal of the dedicated streets is still possible if the local government fails to use the dedicated property in some active manner. Maintenance has been held not only to constitute an acceptance of an offer to dedicate by implication, but is also sufficient to defeat any efforts to withdraw dedicated land. 3. Acquisition of Access Local government can use many techniques to acquire access for public use, including purchasing, donation, establishment via litigation, and application of land use control mechanisms. Access acquisition can be a slow, expensive process for local government. 0 Purchase by fee simple title is the most direct and most ' expensive means of acquiring access. Acquisition in fee by gift can be a form of acquisition by the simple fee, where land is donated for public purposes. Probably the main reason charitable donations of land is not more common is that local officials do not _ask. In cases where land ownership cannot be given away, a bargain sale is used in the purchase price. ' Acquisition by less than fee interest is another option. A property owner may donate a limited right or set of rights to a second party. The property owner continues to hold the title to ' the land and is free to use the land in any manner which is consistent with the rights conveyed to the acquiring party. The four ways of acquiring access by less than fee interest are: 1. Purchase of Easement 2. Prescriptive Easements 3. Conservation Easements 4. Leaseholds An easement is the right to use someone else s land in some specifically designated manner. Land owners may grant or sell such easements if their land can be revalued for tax purposes. North Carolina counties and municipalities are authorized to ' acquire easements in order to preserve open spaces in areas for public use and enjoyment. North Carolina also allows for 10 revaluation of property for taxation purposes by the land owner who grants an easement in his property. The prescription of easements, generally speaking, s eakin , refers to the ' process where one person obtains the right to use another persons land in some specified manner. While title remains with the original landowner, the law recognizes a second party's right to continue an established use. Prescriptive easements for access can also be established at the municipal level for beaches which ' residents have customarily used. In such areas, the public may be able to acquire, via prescription, the right to the dry sand area for recreational purposes. ' Conservation easements for access involve the conveyance of an ' easement by the landowner to a governmental entity or an authorized private organization. The most likely applications for conservation easements involve large tracts of undeveloped property. ' Leaseholds are a fourth means of acquisition by less than fee interest. Leaseholds, a lease agreement between two parties, can ' be applied to public access rights across someone's property. In North Carolina, local governments may obtain lease holds to provide access by North Carolina General Statute 160A. Immediate ' needs for access can be served by leasing access while long range plans are being developed. 11 Other Means of Acquisition 1. Eminent domain ' 2. Implied dedication 3. Implied reservation 4. Post flood damage acquisition. Eminent domain is the process where governmental entities can ' gain privately owned property even if the owner wishes not to tsell. While condemning entire properties to use for access is very expensive, using the powers of eminent domain to condemn ' more limited property easements is an option open to local government. Implied dedication of land traditionally used for ' access may be considered as such if the owner makes a move to stop. Implied reservation is when the state sells land to private interest but leaves land available to the public for ' access. Express dedication occurs when roads and rights of way are expressly dedicated to a town. Trade is when land is ' exchanged or rights are traded in exchange for maintenance or some other benefit. National Flood Insurance Program can be used ' as an access tool where loses have been incurred as a result of ' flooding. Under the National Flood Insurance Act, the Federal Government is authorized to purchase properties damaged ' substantially beyond repair or where there is greater than 50% damage incurred. For example, when a structure built in a washover is damaged beyond repair, the property can be acquired I and used for access. 12 1 Land Use Controls Certain land use control provisions can be made to facilitate public beach access. The techniques listed below can be used in North Carolina: 1. Required pedestrian access 2. Required dedication of roads to provide access 3. Water access lots in new subdivisions The easiest method of requiring pedestrian access is through a subdivision ordinance. An example of such zoning would be requiring a development with more than 600' of shoreline frontage to include a public accessway of at least 10, in width. Required dedication mandates the extension of roads or rights of way to the foreshore, and the dedication of these roads to the public. Application of this tool will normally involve three requirements: a. the extension of all roads and rights of way not parallel to the beach down to the foreshore. b. Public dedication of all such roads and rights of way not parallel to the beach. C. Required public dedication of all other roadways in beach front subdivisions. Although only the first two elements listed above are required in order to provide this type of access, in most situations practical considerations will mandate the third element of requiring dedication of all subdivision roads. 13 Dedication of water access lots in new subdivisions is another tool for providing public access. Water access lots refer to strips of property fronting a public street and having beach ' frontage as well. Platted as lots, these water accesses are not part of any roadway system. These accesses can be obtained jthroughout the subdivision ordinance by requiring that any shore ' front subdivision development containing interior lots provide water access lots for the benefit of the interior lot owners. The ordinance can require that such water access lots either be dedicated to the public or transferred in fee to the interior lot owners. 1 If dedication is made to the public and accepted by the local governmental authority, then the public has acquired the right of access across this lot to the beach. However, if the subdivision owner chooses to transfer title of the water access lot to the interior property, owners, the public at large has no right to ' use that lot unless access to the land is obtained through some other means. 14 IIV. Inventory of Kill Devil Hills Access Areas 1 Presently, the Town of Kill Devil Hills has forty three jpublic access sites, twelve on the sound and thirty one on the ocean. An additional ten private access sites, five on the sound ' and five on the ocean, designated for use by residents of fl specific subdivisions are located within the town. The following inventory describes the existing features of shoreline access sites. Sites are designated as either "Unimproved," "Semi -Improved," or "Improved." Unimproved sites are those left in a natural state or with an unimproved path or parking, but lacking items recommended in the model facility design guidelines. Semi -improved sites have some of the items needed to meet the standards, while improved sites incorporate all appropriate aspects of the model facility design guidelines. For each of the Town owned sites, the plan makes a recommendation for the development of the site. This recommendation is based on factors such as the size of the site, the environment, and surrounding land uses. The intent of this section is to focus on the potential of the sites. A later section incorporates site improvements in a long term development schedule. 15 A. Soundside Accesses (From North to South) 1. Cameron/St. Louis 2. West Arch Street. 3. Wallace/Arch 4.

West Chowan Street Access Status: Public, Unimproved Local This is an unmarked, undeveloped 60' x 200' soundside ' access at the end of West Chowan Street. Recommendation: Develop as a local access with an elevated pathway to a shoreline deck. 21 6. West Hayman Street Access Status: Public, Improved Local In 1988, the W. Hayman Street Access became the first soundfront access developed by the Town of Kill Devil Hills. The present facility includes a 200' pier with an observation platform at the end and unimproved parking for several cars. Recommendation: Provide some designated parking spaces near the pier or in the town right of way on Hayman Boulevard. Locate a picnic table near the water's edge. 22 West Eden Street and West Walker Street Accesses Status: Public, Unimproved Both of these are 60' undeveloped street ends along the Kitty Hawk Bay shoreline. Recommendation: These sites, in combination with other lots in their vicinity, would be appropriate as habitat areas or as local access points with a designated and maintained walkway to the shore and/or boardwalk. 23 9. Avalon Homeowners Sportsman Drive Access Status: Private, Unimproved ' The Sportsman Drive access is owned by the Avalon Homeowners Association. n 24 -71 ' 10. Dock Street Access Status: Neighborhood, Improved The Town's portion of this access is a 50' x 250' street end. The street end is north of a 50, x 250' lot owned by the North Carolina Wildlife Commission. The Town's lot is used primarily for boat trailer and vehicle parking, while the NC Wildlife lot has provided a gravel driveway, a parking area and a boat ramp. East of Bay Drive from the boat launch is a 100' x 150' lot signed for parking. Recommendation: With both the Town and the NC Wildlife lots combined, and the construction of restrooms and a picnic area, the site could become a regional access. Development should be coordinated with the N.C. Wildlife Commission. Short-term facility improvements include the provision of a litter receptacle. Long term improvements include a picnic area and restrooms. 25 l!.) , All � 11.

Careful cooperation with D.O.T. is essential for development of this site. A D.O.T. outfall runs beneath this site to the ocean. Some adjustment in the model may be necessary for development. Planning for the development of this site, taking into account that a D.O.T. outfall exists at this site, shall be coordinated through N.C.D.O.T. .1 k I . � ■�.« wr+�F �++1r '-���:-..- yam_ _ - _ 36. Eighth Street Status: Public (Jointly owned with Nags Head), Improved Local Presently, the site has unmarked parking spaces and an emergency vehicle path through the dune. Recommendation: The Town of Kill Devil Hills and the Town of Nags Head will need to work together to develop this site to neighborhood access standards. V. OBJECTIVES AND POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS Objectives for the Town's shoreline access program emerge from analysis of the existing -sites --and consideration of present and future shoreline access needs. Accordingly, the following seven points are objectives for the Town to meet in the next ten years. Specific recommendations accompany the descriptions of the objectives. A schedule for meeting these objectives is presented in Chapter VII. 1. Maintain existing sites Maintenance insures available sites potential for a high level of use. Well -maintained sites encourage greater use of access facilities, and deter vandalism and littering. It is recommended that the town continue to allocate general fund fees from occupancy tax revenues for the to the for maintenance of all sites appropriate standards their respective designation. It is also recommended that North Carolina Coastal Estuarine and Beach Access Program grant funds be sought for the upgrading and maintaining of accessways. General Fund maintenance allocations and grant contributions will be used for sign placement and replacement, litter control, building, accessway, parking and driveway area repairs as needed. In 1989, the Town spent approximately $10,000 for the maintenance of its beach access sites. Lighting costs, not ' included in that figure, for the Ocean Bay Boulevard Regional Access site, were approximately $360.00. 70 ' 2. Improve Soundside Access ' With the growth of soundside neighborhoods in recent years, the need for public soundside access facilities is increasing. In order to improve soundside access facilities, the Town will: ' a. Improve the 10' public easements at West Arch/Cameron and Helga/Wallace and Cameron and West Third Street to the standards for a local site. ' b. Improve Chowan Street access to the standards for a local access by constructing a walkway to the shoreline. c. Acquire any unbuildable lots on Kitty Hawk Bay west of Bay View Drive between Hayman and Bickett Streets in order to provide public access and natural areas along the shoreline. 3. Increase ocean access parking capacity in southern Kill Devil Hills. South of Atlantic Street, Kill Devil Hills has only two local and one private access point. At least one neighborhood facility is needed in this area. To meet this need, the Town will: a. Lease or purchase property on the west side of NC 12 near the Lake Drive access easement in order to create the space needed for a neighborhood access. ' b. Work with Nags Head to improve 8th St. Access. 71 4. Improve ocean access parking capacity in northern Kill Devil. Hills. Access sites north of the -:Avalon Pier are typically unimproved dune cut throughs with little, if any, parking. Diminishing distance between the ocean and NC 12 in this area hinders the possibility of parking area or walkway ' improvements. However, demand for access parking in this area remains high. To improve the capacity of beach access in this area, it is recommended that the Town: a. Purchase or lease property near northern beach accesses in order to provide convenient parking and access to ocean beach. ' b. Support private sector initiatives to provide parking in this area. c. Consider using the unimproved Eden Street right of way west of NC 12 for access. d. Consider using the hundred foot right of ways on Hayman and Raymond Streets for parking. Parking development proposals for this area have historically generated strong opposition from residents. In anticipation of this, the Town recommends that any access facility development proposed for the west side of NC 12 in any area developed for single family residential use only be considered if the Town notifies neighboring property owners, publicizes the plans, and provides opportunity for public comment. 1 72 G `• 5. Soundside Regional Access ' A soundside regional access would serve users from throughout the beach community::: A candidate location for such a facility is the Dock Street site, vacant Town land adjacent to an existing NC wildlife access, which has a boat launch and trailer parking. The development of additional ' facilities at this site will have to be coordinated with N.C. Wildlife Commission. ' An additional site is the Baum Tract shoreline area. This site is owned by the Town of Kill Devil Hills and has ' the advantage of being located in the Government and ' Institutional Zone, a good distance from the nearest residential neighborhood. 6. Construct a second ocean regional access The high level of use at the existing ocean regional ' facility demonstrates the need for additional regional facilities. Locating a second facility poses a challenge tbecause of the limited availability and high cost of oceanfront land, as well as concerns about the potential impact of a regional access on adjacent uses. Atlantic Street Ocean Access is a potential site. With the acquisition of the lot to the north of the existing neighborhood access, the property would be of adequate size to improve to Regional access standards. 73 7. upgrade existing Pg 9 semi -improved access P areas Some of the Town's accesses.have been partially improved, and therefore could be more readily improved to model standards than a completely unimproved site. These ' semi -improved sites are: Ocean: Sound• a. Asheville: Neighborhood a. West Third St: b. Oregon: Neighborhood Local C. Ferris: Neighborhood d. Pinehurst: Neighborhood e. Carlow: Neighborhood EMI 11 8. Develop 60' accesses presently at local standards to model neighborhood standards. These sites provide the most cost- effective parking for access areas. Accesses in this category include: a. Prospect Avenue Access b. Glenmere Avenue Access c. Raleigh Avenue Access d. Aviation Avenue Access Note in reference to 7 and 8: Ferris, Raleigh, Carlow, Sutton, Pinehurst, and Aviation Avenues are across from the RA-5 zone, which allows for motel and high density residential construction. Accesses in this area are prime candidates for developers to improve. 74 '- 9. Develop Access Corridors ' Development in Kill Devil Hills is now primarily oriented along two north south routes, Croatan Highway and Virginia Dare Trail. As the area between these two roads changes from residential use to more intense usage, routes connecting the two will take on new importance. Key routes between the two can become distinctive and attractive corridors for pedestrian and vehicular traffic between Croatan Highway and Virginia Dare Trail. Features of a corridor include sidewalks, decorative plantings, benches, and ornamental light fixtures. The corridor will have a ' beach access as a focal point. The larger right of ways are the most appropriate locations for such improvements. Corridor improvement projects could be instituted at the time these roads are repaved or major commercial projects take place in the vicinity. 10. Develop 90' and 100' right of ways for parking. Additional access parking can be made available in the centers of the 90, and 100, right of ways. Such parking should be located with consideration for its proximity to a developed beach access. Designs should incorporate such amenities as plentiful landscaping, benches, ornamental light fixtures, and protected pedestrian walkways. 90' and 100' right of ways include Carolina Boulevard, Hayman Avenue, and Raymond Avenue. 11. Provision of Restroom Facilities rCoordinate local policy with state policy on providing restroom facilities at accesses other than regional access sites. 75 VI. FUNDING _.. For the most part, funding for -:beach access improvements has ' come from state matching grants. Typically, the State will pay ' 75% and the Town 25%. Town money for the matching grants and for general maintenance has come from general fund revenues. This plan does not anticipate any substantial change in the means used to fund shoreline access programs. However, a few options ' discussed below should be considered. Funding policies: 1. The Town will continue to apply for North Carolina Coastal and Estuarine Access Program Grants and dedicate the necessary matching funds. ' 2. The Town will continue to allocate general fund revenue to operate, upgrade and maintain accesses. These funds will be allocated through the Public Works department and its divisions. 3. The Town will pursue grants and consider capital outlays for land acquisition. 4. The Town will pursue grants for upgrades and repairs. 5. Developments with impact on shoreline access use will contribute to the public beach access program in a manner which directly addresses the impact of the development ' 6. Facility Fee Financing will be used for shoreline access development when the Town adopts this type of program. 1 76 -= 7. Land donation for shoreline --access will be encoura ed. g (see Appendix B for documentation) 8. Investigate alternative sources of funding, including: A. Perform cost -benefit analyses for programs such as parking stickers and parking meters. ' B. Explore the use of Powell Bill funds for improvement and maintenance. (See Appendix D for the state guidelines) U 77 11 VII. SUMMARY AND SCHEDULE FOR ACCESS DEVELOPMENT ' The importance of shoreline access to the economy and quality of life in Kill Devil Hills warrants that the Town commit its resources to fulfilling the objectives of this plan. Cost estimates are in 1990 dollars. An inflation rate of 5-7% per year should be considered.
