I. Introduction
"Let's go to the beach!" This is a suggestion, request, or, demand hep-d
�- throughout North Carolina and indeed throughout many states as spring and summer
approach. For those living at or near the coast it may mean a walk to the strand
or a one day visit to a local beach.. For those living further away, it may.mean
t
a.weekend trip or a week long vacation to the coast and for some it means moving
into the summer cottage for a stay of from one to three months. To the perman-
ent residents of Sunset Beach the "seas'on" means many different things--economi:
benefits for the commercial interests, increased recreational activities, an in-
flux of tourists -some old friends and some new friends, increased levels of pub-
lic service needed to provide for a safe, clean and enjoyable beach. To some
the "season" is a time of good business. To others it is a time to relax and en-
joy the good weather, good food, and a stay at the beach. And to still others it
is a time when the quiet and solitude of "this' beach" is .broken by the mass of
people who stay up late,'get up early, tramp across the sand dunes, leave trash
and litter everywhere and, in general, spoil the beauty of the area.
In 1974, the North Carolina General Assembly recognizing the view points
expressed above passed the Coastal Area Management Act of 1974. In passing the Act
(LAMA) the General Assembly declared, ". that among North Carolina's most
valuable resources are its coastal land and waters. The coastal area, -and in
particular the estuaries, -are among the most biologically productive regions of this
State and of the nation. Coastal and estuarine waters and marshlands provide almost
90 percent (90%) of the most productive sport fisheries on the east coast of the
United States."
"In recent years the coastal area has been subjected to increasing press-
ures which are the result of the often conflicting need of a society expanding in
industrial development, in population, and in the recreational aspirations of its
citizens. Unless these pressures are controlled by coordinated management, the .
very features of the coast which make it economically, esthetically, and ecologi-
cally rich will be destroyed."
The Coastal Area Management Act calls for ". a comprehensive plan for
the protection, preservation, orderly development, and management of the coastal
area of North Carolina."
"In the implementation of the coastal area management plan, the public's
�l opportunity to enjoy the physical, esthetic, cultural, and recreational qualities
J of the natural shorelines of the State shall be preserved to the greatest extent
feasible, water resources shall be managed in order to prse:ve and enhznce water

quality and to.provide Optimum utilization of water resources; land resources
shall be managed iq;,order to guide;growth and development and to minimize damage
.4 to the natural environment. and private property rights shall be preserved in
accord with the Constitution of this State and of the United States."
The Act is in four parts, each dealing with one aspect of a comprehensive
management program. The four parts are: Organization and Goals , Planning
Processes, Areas of Environment Concern, and Permit Letting and Enforcement.
Part one, Organization and Goals, establishes_ the fifteen member Coastal
Resources Commission with an advisory council composed of members with special
technical backgrounds from Loth State and lo:al government. The Coastal Resources
Commission members are all residents of the twenty county coastal area and are
appointed by the Governor,froma list of nominees from the local governments in-
volved in the coastal area. The goals stated in the Act are:
(1) to provide a management system capable of preserving and
managing the natural ecological conditions of the estua-
rives, the dunes and the beaches;
(2) to insure that.the development or preservation of the land
and water resources is consistent with the land and
water capabilities;
(3) to insure the orderly and balanced use and preservation
1 of our coastal resources on behalf of the people of North
! Carolina and the.nation; and
(4) to establish policies, guidelines, and standards for the
use, protection, and development of our coastallands and
waters
Part two, Planning Processes, establishes the -authority of the CRC to pre-
pare guidelines for local land use plans and delegate to local government the re-
sponsibility to prepare its -own land use. plan consistent with the guidelines.
Part three, Areas of Environmental Concern, gives the 'Coastal Resources
Commission the authority to adopt and designate Areas of Environmental Concern.
Once these AEC's are established the local land use plans will be used as guides
in the issuance of permits for development in the designated AEC's.
Part four, Permit Letting and Enforcement, establishes the criteria for
enforcement of the land use plans within Areas of Environmental Concern. Any
development within an Area of Environmental Concern must have a permit. The Act does
not require permits for development outside Areas of Environmental Concern. The Act
requires the following projects. in areas on environmental concern to obtain a permit

from the Coastal Resources Commission: those projects currently needing state
permits; those of greater than 20 acres in size; those that involve drilling or
excavating natural resources on land or under water;. those which involve construction
of one or more structures having an area in excess of 60,000 square feet will require
a permit from the Coastal Resources Commission. Local governments will establish
regulations for what types of developments in Areas of Environmental Concern will
-
need permits from them.
Development plans must be consistent with the land use plans in order to
`
receive a permit under part four. Under this section local governments may be al-
lowed to issue permits for minor developments but major development permits will be
issued by the Commission.
Prior to enactment of the Coastal Area Management Act in 1974, the town
of Sunset Beach had already begun to develop a land use plan. This initial plan,
prepared by the Sunset Beach Planning Board with assistance from a professional
-A�
planner was drawn up -in ant�cionpat off` the CAMA-and addressed some, but not all,
-
of the requirements of the Guidelines that were adopted by the CRC. -The initial
`}
plan has been revised, updated consistent with the requirements of the CRC and will
be available at Town Nall for review and study. +

II. DESCRIPTION OF PRESENT CONDITIONS
A. Population and Economy
r :.P
Population_
The 1970 U.S. Census indicates that the permanent population of Sunset
Beach was 108. Past population figures are not available because the Town was
not incorporated until 1963. Age and Sex distribution characteristics shown
below are based'on Fifth Count, information provided by the Bureau of -Census
and also shows a)total of 122 persons.

From the Age,
Sex Distribution
table above
it can be seen that the median
age in Sunset Beach is
around 37 years
compared
to 26.5 years
for the State.
This median age (the point
at which half the population
is
older and half are
younger) seems to indicate
that the Sunset Beach
area tends
to attract an older
population.
It is known that several families living in Sunset Beach commute to em-
ployment in the Grand Strand Area of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Spillover
from the highly urbanized development to the southwest should result in an in-

i •0
crease in population from those families seeking a quiet, residential -oriented
community close to an employment center.
Economy
By far the most dominant "industry" in Sunset Beach is tourism. The summer
season sees an influx of absentee property owners and rental guests. According
to a,survey of local realtors, conducted by the Brunswick County Planning Depart-
nent, there are 126 houses containing 136 rental units being handled by agencies
in Sunset Beach. In addition, there are 42 motel units. The full occupancy ca-
pacity of the rental units and the motel unit is 1442 or approximately 9 persons
per rental and 5 per motel unit. Figures are not available to indicate the dumber
of owner -handled rental houses that are utilized
The three tables below indicate the occupation characteristics, family income
distribution, and personal income characteristics for Sunset Beach in comparison
with the county and State. A comparison of occupations indicates. residents,of
Sunset Beach are above the county in: construction; transportation; communication,
etc.; wholesale and retail; and finance insurance and business repair. They rank
below the county in: manufacturing; health, education etc.;*public administration;
and other industries. Income distribution in Sunset Beach is centered around the
$4,000-$9,999 range (77%) and in the $25,000-49,999 bracket (23%). The median
family income (half above/half below), the mean (total divided by number of fami-
lies) -and the per capita (total income divided by total population) are all consid-
erably higher than the county while the median family income compares with the
N.C. figure. The poverty level figures (based upon the U.S. Census) indicate no
families or individuals in town are below the level established for Brunswick County.

Existing land use in the extraterritorial area consists of two small
areas of developed land at the east and west ends of town. On the west, at the .
Junction of Secondary Road 1164 and Shore Line Drive is a*small motel, a com-
bination gas -grocery store, four (4) homes and a boat sales shop. The area is
known as Bonaparte Landing. North on SR 1164 is the newly incorporated commu-
nity of Shady Forest and a mobile home subdivision which currently has only
four units within the planning jurisdiction. Development on the east end con-
sists of four mobile homes, four houses and a seafood store located on SR 1162
at Gause Landing. The vast majority of land in the extraterritorial area is

in forestry.
Residential Land Use
The 64 acres of residential land use contain 237 dwellings. According to
the 1970 U.S. Census, there were 173 housing units in Sunset Beach indicating
an increase of 64 units since 1970.. Most of these homes are seasonally
occupied (81 percent) while 19 percent are occupied year-round.
Undeveloped Land Available for Residential Uses
This includes vacant subdivided land and unsubdivided land scheduled for
residential development. This land (347 acres) represents the available growth
potential within the present Town limits.
Commercial
This category includes restaurants, fishing piers, motels and apartments,
grocery/gas stations, beauty shops, and real estate offices. These uses are
concentrated on two areas - at the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Shore
Line Drive and at the intersection of Main Street and Sunset Boulevard.
Transportation, Communication, and Utilities
Small lots located on parallel streets have created a 13 mile network of
streets and roads. Street maintenance is a problem here as in other beach towns..
Routine maintenance is complicated by blowing sand and eroding roadbeds. The
Fire Station, Town Maintenance Building and water tank site account for the remain-
der of land in this category.
Governmental and Institutional t
Governmental land uses include the Town Hall.
Cultural, Entertainment and Recreation
There are currently no land uses in this category that are separable from
other classifications, The beach area is included in a separate category below
as are the marshes and waterways. Access ways to the strand exist at the head
of each street and at various other places along the ocean front. These are in-
cluded within the street right-of-ways. Some recreation area is provided at the
fire station site but this is secondary to the primary use of the land.

Beach, Marsh, and Waterways
This is by far the largest category of land in Sunset Beach with some
1,414 acres. This includes the beach and dune area c0ch is more than two (2)
miles long and 400 to 800 feet wide (approximately 160 acres) and the tidal
marsh and waterways.
Compatability Problems
No significant Compatability problems exist between the man-made land
uses in Sunset Beach. The Town began as a development project by a single de-
veloper. Lots were laid out and designated as commercial or residential. Deed
restrictions were enacted to cover all lots specifying the allowable land use.
Problems due to minimum lot size do exist at this time because of the
lack of public water and sewer systems. These problems stem from a lack of
knowledge about environmental problems when the development was begun. Conflict
between man and the environment exists with relation to the use of shallow,
individual wells and individual septic tanks, not so much at the present, but
certainly_, as more development takes place and as the population increases. Other
problems involve development near Tubbs Inlet to the east and !lad Inlet to the
west.
C. Current Plans, Policies, and Regulations
Sunset Beach has had an active planning program since 1973. Prior to that
time certain planning and land use related ordinances had been adopted, these
include: Zoning Ordinance, N.C. State Building Code, and Flood Insurance regu-
lations. The following documents and plans have been prepared by the Town:
Document Date
Zoning Ordinance 1972
N.C. Building Code N.A.
Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Ordinance Jan: 1974

The chief enforcement officer for the Town -enforced regulations is the Build-
ing Inspector. He is responsible for the building code, zoning ordinance, and

10
the Flood Insurance Ordinance. The County Health Department enforces septic
tank and well site regulations. The County Dune Protection Officer covers the
Sani1 Dune Ordinance and the N.C. Department of Natural and Economic Resources
enforces the -tate Sedimentation Control Act and local dredge and fill permitting.

III. Public Participation Activities
Public participation in the local land use plan is mandated by. the Coastal
Resources Commission. For any plan to be effecti.ye it must reflect the needs and
desires of the local citizens. To this end the initial plan was based upon a Land
Development Survey which was sent to permanent residents and Absentee property
owners, to determine their views as to the course of development they preferred
for Sunset Beach and to establish certain goals for the future of the town. The
survey resulted in a return of some 70 percent of those sent out. The goals and
objectives thus developed were presented and discussed at several public meetings
with good attendance. Included in these meetings were discussions of probable Areas
of Environmental Concern and proposed land uses which will be presented further be-
low.
It should be pointed out that with the small population (140) of the town,
any meeting attended by both the Planning Board and the Town Council represents a
fair percentage of the 53-families on the beach.
A.- Major Land Use Issues - Sunset Beach is a quiet community with summer.
vacation homes for those who like to be "away from it all". There is no hustle and
rush to life here even in the summer.
Results from the survey and the public meetings indicate that the major
land use issues are over future development.
Lack of a public"water system.is of most importance. Present development
must rely on individual wells and septic tanks. Given the small lot size (5,000
sq. ft.) on the island part of town a community water system is necessary. The
town is scheduled to participate in Phase II of the Brunswick County Water Program
but there is no firm date'for delivery of water. The plans call for Sunset Beach
to install distribution lines and purchase water from the county.
Commercial development or family type beach is a major land use issue with
both permanent residents and absentee property owners. Family type beach is wanted
in both cases but by only slightly more than half the permanent residents while the
absentee owners favor the family beach concept overwhelmingly. This ij-�,an indica-
tion of differing viewpoints with residents seeing the beach as a. year-round living,
work and playing environment, while the absentee owner sees the beach a.'a vacation
environment. Other land use issues include zoning enforcement, street maintenance,

12
«r. and lack of adequate parking. Nora -land use issues but important nevertheless
include the need for better ppl.ice and fire protecMn. There does not appear
to be any severe impact within the planning period that can be attributed ad in-
crease in the permanent population which has increased from 108 in 19:0 to 140 in
1914--an average of eight persons per year. The seasonal population, now esti-
mated at about 1,800 is expected to increase to 2,500-3,000 people by 1985.
Housing in Sunset Beach is.generally constructed by contract --that is
each home is contracted by the prospective purchaser. Little or no.speculative
housing construction has taken place and given the nature of the community none
is likely to occur in the near future.
Conservation and protection of the waters and marshland which occupy
over 1400 acres in Sunset Beach is an issue of major importance and one which
,
affects every. citizen and property owner in the community. The value of the marsh-
land and waters both economically and ecologically is extremely high. The CAMA
requires that development be "consistent with the capability of the land'and water
for development" . . . based on ecological considerations. Simply stated, develop-
ment cannot exceed the ability of the land and waters to accommodate it without
,] destroying the natural environment. What this means for Sunset Beach is that if
full development of the area for residential land use is desired some type of ceri-
tral sewage treatment system will be required. Initial planning for the needs of
the area will soon be underway but it will be some time before sufficient informa-
tion or expected needs and probable costs are available. Current trends'in funding
of sewerage systems indicate that the major portion of the system's cost will have
�j to be paid by the town.
J B. Alternatives for Development - As indicated in the issues section,
several alternatives were posed. --development as a family type beach with sufficient
commercial uses to serve the community; development as a "resort-commercial"beach;
high density development; or no increase.in the current rate of development.
Each of these alternatives have certain costs associated with them --eco-
nomic, ecologic, and social costs. But there are also benefits to be gained from
each. Some examples of each are given below:
Alternative Cost Benefit
I. Low density $ per unit of quiet, uncrowded,
family beach services is highest natural environment
(water, sewer, etc.) ,;protected better

13
Alternative Cost Benefit
2. Resort -Commercial higher level of $ per unit of
.Beach Services needed sooner Services is lower
environmental qual.ity
of Beach degraded
3. High density higher level of per unit of
Services needed sooner
Residential Services is lower
4. Current Develop-
ment $ per unit of Time span for needed
Rate Services is higher Services is longer
There are, of course, other costs and benefits to be derived from the
alternatives listed, and under normal, circumstances, should be considered
when determining, which alternative to pursue. As was mentioned -in
the section on Current Plans; Policies, and Regulation, most of the land
in Sunset Beach is subject torestrictive-covenants with.regards to type
and amount of development. For this reason the only alternative avail-
able at this time is to continue the current development rate.

,. C. land Use Goals: Objectives, and Standards - The goals and objectives
'j formulated as a result of the surveys and public meetings are guides to the future
of Sunset Beach. They should be reviewed annually and progress noted. If con-
j ditions and attitudes change, then these goals and objectives may need to be modi-
! fied or charged to meet community needs and priorities.
Goal
To create desirable living areas which will harmonize with the natural
surroundings.
Objectives
(1) Continue to maintain adequate beach access areas -for all future
' residential development.
(2) Prevent destruction of the existing sand dunes and vegetation by
strict enforcement of the County Dune Protection Ordinance.
• (3) Establish a water and sewer system as soon as possible.
(4) Maintain eligibility in Federal Flood Insurance_Program by
adopt-ing and enforcing the necessary codes and ordinances.
(5) Qualify as a local permit letting agency under the Coastal Area
Management Act.
Goal
Promote sufficient commercial activity to strengthen the tax base and in-
sure orderly growth.
Objectives
(1) Encourage convenience type stores to locate in Sunset Beach.
(2) Group commercial activities in existing areas of commercial uses
by proper zoning.
(3) Insure adequate vehicular ingress and egress and sufficient parking
at such commercial uses.
-� Goal
Supply adequate community facilities for all future development.

15
r•,
Objectives
(1) Complete planned water system as soon as possible and begin planning
for sewer system.
(2) Expand and upgrade all Town services -as needed for future development.
(3) Actively seek and apply for any and all Federal and State grants
to assist in providing needed services to the citizens of Sunset Beach.
Development Standards
Residential areas should:
-- Have public water and sewer service within corporate limits
For new development, have minimum lot sizes where community/public water
and sewer service is unavailable-20,000 square feet; feet, if either
water and sewer facilities are available, but not both - 15,000 square
feet.
Be bound but not crossed by major streets.
-- Construct utilities including electric and telephone lines
underground, where the groundwater table prohibits under-
ground electric wires, utility poles should follow rear
property lines.
-- Not locate in -flood prone areas or in the case of beach
communities should be above minimum building elevation and
flood proofed as determined by HUD -Federal Insurance Admini-
stration.
Commercial areas should:
-- Locate near intersections of major streets to better serve
trade areas.
-- Not be permitted to develop in strips, but rather in compact,
grouped, functional units..
-- Provide adequate off-street parking with designated entrances
and exits.
-- Have adequate space; neighborhood shopping centers should range
from 3 to 6.acres in size while for community shopping centers
from 10 to 30 acres in size.
-- Have compatible signs which do not obstruct sight.
Recreation areas should:
-- Be located so as to be available to a wide range of people.
-- Provide a variety of activities to interest more than one
segment of the population.
-- Be compatible with surrounding land uses. s

D. Process Used to Determine Goals and Objectives
The following is an excerpt from the Land_ Development Plan prepared for
Sunset Beach prior to the.passage of the Coastal Area Management tact:
"A Land Development Survey was sent to permanent residential
and absentee property owners to determine their views as
to the course of development they prefer for Sunset Beach,
and to establish certain goals for the Town to pursue.
The survey resulted in some definite goals for Sunset
Beach with a return of 70 percent of those sent out. The
in -town residents favor remaining a family beach by a
51 percent majority and oppose commercial development by
the same ratio, however, most were in favor of -more con
venience stores for local residents. The out-of-town
response was overwhelming in support of remaining a fami-
ly type :*beach.
Seven questions were asked concerning a water system, the
fire department, public works, police, life guard service,
full-time operation of the Town. Hall, and being taxed to
improve these services. Support varied among all questions.
However, a clear majority of those responding were in favor
of the services and indicated support of the cost of provid-
ing such services."
The survey was sent to every resident of the beach and to approximately
100 families who comprise the Sunset Beach Property Owners Association. Reali-
zing the survey, although highly successful, did not fully comply with the
requirement for public participation under the CAMA Guidelines for Local Planning,
the Sunset Beach Planning Board and Town Council began to hold regular scheduled
monthly public meetings with telephone notice to the citizens of the beach.
Prior to submission of a draft synopsis to the Coastal Resources Commission in
March 1976, a public meeting to discuss approval of the Land Use Goals, Object-
ives, and Standards was held.
E. Methods Employed in Public Participation
Public participation has been broken into two subsections: Education (the
Process of informing the public) and Involvement (the process of absorbing the
people into the planning program).' The Coastal Resources Commission has published
a booklet entitled, Handbook on Public Participation, which contains recommendations
concerning the most effective methods to employ when seeking widespread participa-.
tion of the public in the planning program. In addition, each locality's public
participation program is monitored periodically by the staff of the Coastal Resources
Commission to insure that certain standards are being net.

17
The goal of the public participation program is to generate some
some commentary concerning the future of the town from each citizen and public
r^P
a9ency and to transform these comments into a statement of local land use issues,
objectives, policies and standards. The education phase of the program has
utilized posters, pamphlets, newspaper articles about CAMA, and public meetings.
The involvement phase has included the Town Council, Planning Board, administra-
tive officials, and private citizens.
J The survey mailed out served as a starting point in developing a draft
statement of goals and objectives for discussion at meetings held monthly at the
Town Hall. Attendance at th:!se meetings, held on the second Wednesday, ranged
from five to as many as 45 and usually represented the majority of families
living in town. Additionally, the planner met with local citizens on several
occasions to discuss progress in developing a final draft of this report.

IV, Constraints
c'o
A. land Suitability
The following is an analysis of the general suitability of
the undeveloped lands within the Sunset Beach Planning Area for
development. Consideration has been given to the following factors:
1) Physical Limitations
2) Fragile Areas
3) Areas with Resource Potential
Several areas which are discussed in this section may be designated
as areas of Environmental Concern. In the event this occurs, those
lands will be subject to the requirements specified by the Coastal
Resources Commission for AEC's.
�) Physical Limitations for Development
a) Hazard Areas
(1) Man-made Areas - There are no man-made Hazard
areas on'Sunset Beach.
(2) Natural Areas - Natural hazard areas include
coastal flood areas, which are subject,to flooding
from hurricanes and high tides, -and -coastal
inlet lands which are subject to erosion and,
movement. The ocean shoreline at Sunset Beach
isaccreting at about 7 feet per year rather
than eroding. The Flood Hazard Boundary Map
'shows the extent to which Sunset Beach is subject.
to flood hazards.
Sunset Beach has two inlets- Mad, to the
west and Tubbs to the east. The following material
is extracted from A Historical Review of Some of
North Carolina's Coastal Inlets, by Jay Langfelder,
Tom French, Richard McDonald and Richard Ledbetter,
of the N.C. State University Center for Marine
and Coastal Studies:
J

MAD INLET
Descri tp iun
Mad Inlet is the southernmost inlet in North Carolina and is also one
of the smallest inlets on the North Carolina coast. Its average width is
approximately 40VIto 800 feet. It is bounded on the south by Bird Island
and on the north by Sunset Beath. Bird Island to the south of the inlet
consists of a low sandy area which is subjected to periodic flooding during
periods of high tide. It generally lacks vegetative cover and appears to
be easily erodible. Sunset Beach to the east generally consists of some-
what higher ground.
Mad Inlet presently has an "S" shaped configuration and is extremely
long compared to its width. The major flow through Mad Inlet comes from
the marshes directly behind the inlet and from two drainage channels, Blane
Creek and Salt Boiler Creek, which drain the inlet and also connect with
the Intercoastal Waterway to the north.
Migration Trends
The general trend of Mad Inlet has been to migrate from the east to
the west. As the length of the Inlet becomes excessive, and probably
Jassociated with a storm condition, a breakthrough can occur to the east.
_1 This produced the sand island that can be seen in the 1956 photography.
Since the general littoral drift in this area is to the west, this sand
island eventually:merges.into the high ground to the west. The maximum
gorge movement that occured during any successive increments between photo-
graphy is about 2813 feet .to the east or 444 feet per year between 1949-
1956. This movement was,caused by a breaching of the Inlet to the north.
- ] The net movement of the Inlet from 1938`to 1972 has been 610 feet to the
east. It can be noted from the figure that the configuration of the Inlet
in 1972 is essentially the same as the configuration in 1949.
Future Trends
It appears that Mad .Inlet will continue to migrate to the west and
retain the "S" shape -characteristic because of the reversalsin' littoral
drift. Based on the similarity of the position in 1949 and 1972,-it
appears certain that this Inlet will breech the island to the east and
form a tiew one as was observed in the 1956 photography.

TUBBS INLET
Descri tp ion
c=�O
Tubbs Inlet is located just east •)f Mad Inlet in Brunswick County
and is approximately 1450 feet in width. Sunset Beach is located to
the west, and Ocean Isle Beach is located to the east. The Ocean Isle
Beach is a long, low, narrow sand spit built from the east -west littoral
flow. On the Sunset Beach side of the Inlet a low unvegetated sand spit
presently exists.
1ration Trends
From 1938 to 1966, the Inlet showed a steady westernly migration
of over 1800 feet west. During this period, the gorge of Tubbs Inlet
was generally decreasing in width,' from. about 1750 feet in 1938. to 719
feet in 1966. In 1969, the Inlet was dredged closed and later reopened
at approximately the same location as the 1938 position or about one
half mile to the east. Since the Inlet was reopened in 1969 it appears
to be widening.
Future Trends
It is difficult to determine if littoral drift will again cause mi-
grations similar to the previous ones, but it is likely. When migrations
occur, they probably will be similar, if not faster, due to lack of .
vegetation on the west boundary. Therefore, it can be anticipated that
the Inlet will migrate to a location similar to its location in 1966.

. J To relate this soil data to the Land Development Plan, the Coastal
JBeach soil is found on ibe-island; the Tidal Marsh, includes all the area
designated Wetland Water on Figure 1; the Norfolk Find Sand covers most
of the mainland area with. the exception of a small;aiea north of the town limits
along Secondary Road 1172, which consists of Saint Lucie Fine Sand. An examina-
tion of the Soil Intrepretation Table indicates that all of the soils have
J limitations for various uses. On -site soil analysis is reccomended for in-
dividual land use applications before any major development decisions are made.
Such assistance is available from the Brunswick County Soi.l Conservation Office.

It should be pointed out the soils data presented here is from
very old studies. The U. S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation
Service is preparing a more detailed soil survey for the Outer Banks and
barrier islands of North Carolina. As this new information becomes
available it should be incorporated into the Land Use Plan.

CA
c) Water Sup2ly Area
Located within the Lumber River Basin, all residents in the City of
Sunset Beach use groundwater to supply water needs. As no surface supplies
are used, Sunset Beach is not in any designated public water supply watershed.
Very little is known about the hydrogeology of Sunset Beach. Three
aquifers.or aquifer systems are known to exist; the Post -Miocene Aquifer,
the Tertiary System Aquifer, and the Cretaceous System Aquifer. The Post -Miocene
Aquifer occurs from land surface to an estimated 40 feet.BLQ-, is composed of
sand mostly, and stores groundwater under water.table and/or semi -artesian
conditions. Underlying the Post -Miocene from 40 feet BLS to 751 BLS is a
Tertiary System Aquifer composed of Limestone which stores water under
artesian conditions. From 75 feet BLS to 1340 feet BLS is the Cretaceous
System Aquifer, an artesian and flowing artesian aquifer which contains
brackish GW in unconsolidated sands. Basement is encountered at 1340 feet
BLS.
Nothing is known about the water quality or.quantity native to the
Post -Miocene and Tertiary System Aquifer.
Natural rainfall does, of course, recharge the Post -Miocene Aquifer;
under special conditions the Tertiary System Aquifer is recharged by the
Post -Miocene.
Sunset Beach currently has no public water supply. Each individual
home has a private well drawing water from a depth of 10'-201.
d) Steep Slopes
There are no areas within the Sunset Beach Planning Area where
the predominant slope exceeds twelve (12%) percent.

26
2. Fragile Areas - Areas within Sunset 3each which could be destroy-
e.•.Pda►r,aged by inappropriate development include: ,
Coastal Wetlands
Sand Dunes
Ocean Beaches and Shorelines
Estuarine Waters
Public Trust Waters
Each of these areas are described in the Areas of Environmental Concern
section below.
B. Ca acit of Community Facilities - Sunset Beach provides police pro-
tection, garbage pickup, and some administrative services at Town Hall. A volunteer
fire department provides fire protection. There are no water and sewer services
provided, however, implementation of the Phase II portion of the Brunswick County
Water System is expected to be begun within the next eighteen months. Sunset Beach
should be atle to provide public water within one year after the project is begun.
Brunswick County operates a county -wide school system and provides.transportation
for the children living in.Sunset Beach.

27
V. ESTI14ATED DEM-AIND
A. Population and Economy
The Guidelines for Local Planning require that a population esti-.
mate for the next ten years be made and utilized as the basis for de-
termining lard and facilities demand and for classifying land areas.
Major identifiable economic trends or factors in the economy which
might have impact on future land use.are required to be examined.
Three additional factors to be considered in msking population esti-
mates are-(1) Seasonal population (2) Local objectives concerning
growth, and (3) Foreseeable social and economic change. It should be
pointed out that future population estimates are just that -- estimates,
especially in small towns. Lack of detailed data on births, deaths, or
migration (in or out of the area) renders the most accurate projection
method, cohort -survival, unusable.
Using past building permit records, N. C. Department of Administration
annual population estimates, and Brunswick County Planning Department pro-
jections, the population estimates for Sunset Beach are as follows:
POPULATION PROJECTIONS
1970 1975 1980 1985 1990 2000 2025
Brunswick County 24,223 35,621 409382 509754 59,000 NA NA•
Shallotte Twp. 4,877 5,592 6,339 .7,967 9,262 NA NA
Sunset Beach 108 140 173 206 240' 306 471
(Sunset Beach population projections by arithmetic method)
The southwest Brunswick beaches have recently been identified as being
within a population and economic growth corridor extending up the coast from
the Greater Myrtle Beach area to the Southport -Wilmington area. This pattern
may be seen in the already.increasing population of Calabash, N. C. and the
recent upward trend in permanent residents of Sunset Beach. There is not
expected to be any major economic impact caused by.this growth other than an
increased base.
tax Major commercial and industrial areas will remain focused
at the ends of the corridor, but it may be expected that the permanent pop-
ulation and certainly the seasnoal population will continue to increase.
Using the factor of approximately 9 persons per rental unit available
(established in Section II. A.), and assuming that all the land currently

available for residential development (346 acres) is used at the minimum
residential density required by the Sunset Beach Zoning Ordinance, an
additional 11,421 people.coulc be housed in Sunset Beach at peak capacity.
This figure represents full development and based upon the present trend
of about 16 new homes per year, this would occur in approximately 80
years.
' The existing water and sewer situation cannout continue to support
V an increasing number of homes, especially on the island. During a recent
dry spell of about a month and a half, several homes were experiencing
reduced water supplies from their wells. The water system mentioned
earlier will allievate some of this problem, but within the ten year
.planning period, a public sewer will become a necessity. Also, as more
and more land area is consumed by development and covered with paved
streets, houses, and accessory structures that prevent infiltration of
rainfall, drainage of storm water becomes a serious threat to nearby
marshland. Even with public sewer, urban development can be fatal to
the environmentally sensitive wetlands surrounding Sunset Beach.

B. Future Land Needs
The following table indicates future land/use acreage allocations
for the year 1985 based upon the "projected" permanent population of the
planning area ( 206 ) and upon certain other factors such as expressed
desires for increased residential activity, the availability of public
services, and additional recreational areas.

local citizens.
C. Community Facilities Demand
In July of 1973 the Town received plans and cost estimates for the
construction of a water distribution system. The cost estimate was
$360,000 including administrative costs. A recent check with the engineers
indicated that these costs are still in line at this time and should
hold if the project can be implemented this year. Unfortunately, Bruns-
wick County, which is to supply the water, cannot get a commitment from
the Farmers Home Administration for funds to begin Phase II of their
water project until at least April, 1977.
The County has recently engaged an engineering firm to undertake
the studies and develop the plans for the sewerage disposal needs of
Sunset Beach, Ocean Isle, Holden Beach, and Calabash area. No date

W,
has been set for completion of the study which is required in order to
receive State and Federal fu►.-ds for sewerage collection and treatment.
The Town should be able to absorb the projected ten year growth without
a sewerage system, but the plans and specifications should be prepared
and the cost estimates kept current, in order that the citizens be aware
of the costs of future development.

VI. Plan Description
1 A. Land Classification System - The North Carolina Land Classification
System contains five classes of land:
a. Developed --Lands where existing population density is moderate
to high and where there are a variety of land uses which have
�. the necessary public services.
b. Transition --Lands where local government plans to accommodate
moderate to high density development during the following ten
year period and where necessary public services will be pro-
vided to accommodate that growth.
c. Community --Lands where low density development is grouped in
] existing settlements.or will occur in such settlements during
the following ten year period and which will not require exten-
sive public services now or in the future.
1 d. Rural --Lands whose highest use is for agriculture, forestry,
mining, water supply, etc., based on their natural resources
potential. Also, lands for future needs not currently recognized.
e. Conservation --Fragile, hazard and other lanes necessary to
maintain a healthy natural environment necessary to provide for
public health, safety, or welfare.
J I .
These five classes provide a framework to be used by the town to identify the
general use of all lands within the corporate limits. Such a system presents an
opportunity for Sunset Beach to provide for its needs .as well as to consider those
of the whole state. Also, it is a statement of policy on where and to what density
we want growth to occur, .and where we want to conserve the beach's natural resources
by guiding growth.
a
Applying this classification system to Sunset Beach as shown on the
accompanying map, land falls into four categories: transition, community, rural,
Jand conservation. All lands identified as potential Areas of Environmental Concern
j are shown as conservation. Transition lands are those where the town intends to
J provide necessary public services to serve existing and projected development.

A n _^ tal Concern The Coastal Area Management
Act of 1974 requires that local land use plans gi�` special attention to the pro-
tection and appropriate development of Areas of Environmental Concern (AEC's).
1All local governments may suggest these areas and the Coastal Resources Commission
(CRC) will have the final responsibility to identify Areas of Environmental Concern
acting upon local suggestions and following the state tury guidelines. The iden-
tification of AEC's by local governments will serve to assist the Coastal Resources
Commission in the ultimate designation of Areas of Environmental Concern and will
also provide for use in the local land use plans. The CRC will use the identifica-
tion applied by local governments for the purpose of analyzing the territorial
extent of the various AEC categories.
The identification of AEC's by local governments will*not be utilized
for purposes of land tse control or permit. letting. Only final AEC's adopted
by the Coastal Resources Commission will be.used in the permit letting program.
The determination of whether a particular site is within an AEC category will
be based upon adopted written descriptions of AEC's and detailed AEC maps: Any
development requiring land area over twenty (20) acres or with a building
of 60,000 square feet of floor space will require a.permit from the CRC if the
3 proposed development is within an Area of Environmental Concern. All smaller
P p
3 developments may be regulated by local governments.
The following AEC's have been identified in Sunset'Beach:
1. Coastal Wetlands:
a. Low Tidal Marshland
Description: Low tidal marshland exists primarily below the mean
J high water line and is subject to inundation by the normal rise and
fall of lunar tides. It can be readily identified.by one plant species,
salt marsh cordgress (S_partina alterniflora) which grows as the dominant
vegetative species.

33
Appropriate Land Uses:
1) Utility easements and facilities where restoration of low marsh
conditions will occur upon completion of the project;
2) Elevated walkways and piers to navigational channels;
3) Access routes for marina facilities;
b. High Coastal Marshland
Description: High coastal marshland is all other marshland which
is not low tidal marshland and exists between the upper limits of
Spartina alterniflora and those land areas reached'by the occasional
flooding of the tides.- This salt marshland or other marsh zone shall
be.those areas upon which grow some, but not necessarily all, of the
following salt marsh and marsh plant species:
Black Needle Rush Juncus roemerianus
Glasswort
Salt Grass.
Bulrush
Sea Lavender
Saw Grass
Cat -Tail
Salt -Meadow Grass
Salt'Reed Grass
Salicornia spp.
Distichlis s ip'cata
Scirpus spp.
Limonium spp.
Cladium jamaicense
Typha §.pp.
Spartina patens_
Spartina cynosuroides
Appropriate Land Uses:
1) Elevated walkway and piers to navigational channels;
2) Access for marina facilities where such facilities are
developed landward of the high marsh boundary;
3) Public utility easements and facilities where natural high
marsh conditions will be restored upon completion of the projects;
4) Ports, docks, marine facilities and channels when such are
located and constructed specifically for the public's use,

34
2. Estuarine Waters:
M;,eri tion: Estuarine waters are brackish waters which are
contained within the boundary of Sunset Beach either in sounds, bays,
rivers or tributaries.
Appropriate Uses:
1) Elevated pier and boat docks except in maintained navigable
channels;
2) Public utility easements and facilities where the natural
conditions will be restored upon completion of the project;
3) The dredging and maintenance of access channels except
in productive shellfish beds.
1
3. Public Trust Areas:
'
Description: Public trust areas are waterways and lands under or
flowed by tidal waters or navigable waters, to which the public may
have rights of access or public trust rights and areas which the State
of North Carolina may be authorized to preserve, conserve, or protect
1
under.Article.XIV, Section 5 of the N.C. Constituition.
i
All waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the lands thereunder from the mean
high water mark to the seaward limit of State jurisdiction; all natural
bodies of water subject to measurable lunar tides and lands thereunder
to the mean high water mark; all navigable natural bodies of water and
lands thereunder to the mean or ordinary high water mark as the case-
rray be, except privately owned lakes having no public access; all waters
in artificially created bodies of water in which exists significant
-j
public fishing resources or other public resources, which are accessible
•.!
to the public by navigation from bodies o,f water in which the public has
rights of navigation; all waters in artificially created bodies of water
in which the public has acquired rights by,prescription, custom, usage,
'ecrication or any other means.

35
Appropriate Land Uses:
1) Fishing piers in both ocean and estuarine waters;
'
2) Access for marina facilities,
3) Public utility easement;
4) Dredging and maintenance of navigation channels;
5) Bulkheads, groins and jetties.
4. Excessive Erosion Areas, Coastal Inlet Lands:
Description: Coastal inlet lands are zones of natural migration
.or those areas adjacent to those water channels across the outer banks
which connect the ocean with the estuarine waters. This natural zone
of migration covers all areas that.are expected to be eroded by future
inlets and inlet movement based on existing data and studies.
Appropriate Land -Uses:
1 Conservation activities; -
2 Boat landings;
3 Small temporary structure for education and recreation purposes;
4 Docks and public access easement
• 5 Continuation of present Land Uses under existing subdivision with-
in this area.
5. Coastal Flood Plains;
Description:. Coastal flood plains are defined as the land areas
adjacent to coastal sounds, estuaries or the ocean which are prone to
flooding from storms with an annual probability of one percent or greater
(100 years flood). These areas are analogous to the 100 yearstatistical
'
flood level on a,river. These areas are delineated and identified by
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in conjunction with flood insurance
studies prepared,for the Federal Insurance Administration.
Appropriate Land Uses:
';
All acceptable land uses and developments must meet stringent

1 36
engineering standards which will maintain the structures, integrity,
stability and safety during a 100 year storm. All forms of development
can be undertaken as long as it conforms with the standards set forth
in the Federal Insurance Administration CodE'of Federal Regulations.
Title 24, Chapter 10, Subchapter B. The Code puts forth specific
requirements which must be met to maintain safety during the flood
surge of a 100 year storm. All developments which do not meet these
I� specific Federal requirements will not be acceptable: land uses.
6. Ocean Beaches:
Description:- Ocean beaches and shorelands are defined as land
areas without vegetative covering, consisting of unconsolidated soil
material that extends landward.from the mean low tide.to a point where
any one or combination of the following occur: (1) vegetation or
(2) a distinct change in predominant soil particle size or (3) a'
change in slope or elevation which alters the.physiographic land
form. '
Appropriate Land Uses:
1) Fishing piers which are elevated enough to allow lateral
access along the beach front;
2) Utility maintenance;
3) Conservation measures when such measures are in the public
interest.
7. Coastal Dune Lanes:
Description: Coastal dune lands are defined as ridges or mounds
of loose wind blown material, usually sand, which begin at the landward
margin of the frontal dune and extends inland as one or more series
of.sand mounds and *.rough areas until it reaches either a line of
estuarine water encroachment or inland soil types. They can be barren,
partially or compl-jEly vegetated with grasses or woody vegetation.

I
37
l
1
Appropriate Land Uses:
Acceptable land uses must be those developments that can be safely
undertaken utilizing recognized engineering practices such as the use
of pilings to decrease destruction of dunes and thus limit the chance
of flood damage. Also sound site preparation and site maintenance
techniques must be used to minimize unnecessary damage of the dunes
from wind and waters should the development be.allowed.
Appropriate land uses are limited to the following:
1) Residential 3)(.c.Governmental
2) Commercial 4) Recreational
All allowable.land uses should be designed so as to limit as
much as possible the removal of the natural vegetation.
a. Man -Made Dune Lands
Description: The subcategory man-made dune lands are artificial
extensions of natural coastal dune lands which are usually made to
increase the landward.margin of the barrier island as a result from
reclamation and deposition of dredge spoil and bar materials.
Appropriate Land Use:
j 1) Single and multi -family residential;
2) Commercial;
3) Governmental;
j 4) Recreational.
J b. Frontal Dunes
Description: The subcategory frontal dunes are primary sand dune
ridges which align themselves parallel to the -ocean beaches. They
begin on the ocean side at the mean high tide line of the ocean beach
and extend over the first dune ridge to the lowest elevation in the
depression behind it commonly called the dune trough. This is the
I
foredune and does not include any slopes of the adjacent landward dune.

r
36
However, in areas where the frontal dune has experienced erosion and
is less than 15 feet in height (from mean sea level to crest of dune)
a 120 foot set back area should be so delineated starting from xhe
ocean mean high water line extending towards the mainland.
J .(The 120 foot buffer zone allows adequate space for the establish-
ment of an artificial frontal dune if such a decision is made in the
future. The 15 foot minimum safe height of a dune is mentioned
in the."Sand Dune Protection Ordinance of Brunswick County The
r :.•
120 foot set back is derived from acceptable engineering data from
the Army Corps of Engineers which utilizes a 1:5'slope.on the wind-
ward side of a dune and 1.3 slope on the leeward side, thus establishing
the minimum base area necessary to artificially, build a frontal dune
15 feet high).
Appropriate Land Uses:
The frontal dunes should be considered unsuitable for.all develop-
ment which would alter their natural functions. Appropriate land uses
shall be limited to the following:
j 1) Elevated fishing pier;
_ 2) Elevated pedestrian walkways for public access;-
J
3) Conservation activities.
1 All of these allowable land uses should not damage or destory the
existing vegetation on the frontal dune.
Development Standards Applicable to all AEC's
1. No development should be allowed in any Areas of Environmental
Concern which would result in a violation of any rules, regulations,
or laws of the State of North Carolina, :the Federal government or
any county or town government r. which the development takes place.

1
39
2. No development should be allowed in any AEC which would have .
1 a substantial likelihood of causing pollution of the waters of the
State to the extent that such waters would be closed to the taking
of shellfish under standards set by the Commission for Health
Services pursuant to G. S. 130-169.01.
C. Implementation - Major public actions needed to implement the Land
Development Plan are listed below. Through the years, as goals and objectives are
met or as changes are needed, these actions should be modified and new actions
begun to meet the needs of the community.
Immediate Priorities
(1) Complete the water system.
(2) Enforce building code, zoning ordinance and other codes and
ordinances to insure proper and -safe development.-
(3) Encourage public participation in government decisions through
the use of.informal meetings, newsletters, etc.
(4) Study existing tax structure and rate to determine the ability
to finance.needed services, i.e., policies, public works, water
and sewer systems, fire protection.
(5) Institute a capital budgeting process, seeking advisory technical
help from available sources, to plan and budget for equipment and
facility expansion to meet the public need.
Near Term Priorities (1976-1979)
(1) Continuecode enforcement and qualify for permit letting under
C.A.M.A.
(2) Establish a. Recreation Commission and.plan for a community center
for local residents.

V I I . SUMMARY r
The Synopsis prepared in conjunction with this Plan provides a useful .
suauary of the most important points covered previously. A discussion of the
data assembly, analysis, and conclusions reached is useful at this point. The
expertise of various local, county, state and federal agencies and people has
been utilized in the preparation of this document with the planner acting as
gatherer and technical writer, Population and economic data was provided by the
U.S. Bureau of the .Census, the Brunswick County Planning Department,
the N.C. Department of Administration. Existing land use data was gathered from a
windshield survey by DNER planning staff, with some data from N. C. State
University studies. Aerial photographs used were flown by the the U.S. Department
of Agriculture and the N.C. Department of Transportation. Soil limitation data
was provided by the U.S. Soil Conversation Service. .-Water supply data was prepared
i by the DNER Regional Hydrologist. Data for community facilities was provided by
Peirson-Whitman, Incorporated, DNER reports, Town Officials and other State
agencies. Analysis of the data gathered was the responsibility of the Planning
Board with the planner assisting with the non -technical definition of technical data.
The major conclusions reached with the analysis of the technical data and the
public participation process resulted in the Objectives, Policies and Standards
Section and the Implementation Section.

VIII. TOWN -COUNTY RELATIONSHIP
�Portions of the cooperative spirit between the planning staffs for
P P P 9
the Town and the County may be found throughout this report. Population.
data, AEC information, and Land Classification data have been a few of
the exchanges of information. Additional aspects of coordination include
the exchange and participation in review of the Land Use Goals, Objectives,
And Standards for conformity with the corresponding sections of the Town
and County reports. Joint staff meetings in addition to the public meetings
held throughout the County by the County Planning Department have resulted
in a good working relationship at the staff level.
At the policy level, contact between the elected officials is on a
more formal basis. Generally,.the Mayor attends specific County Commission
meetings at either the Town's or County's request. Additionally, a Sunset
Beach Council member serves as the chairman of the County Planning Board.
