I. Introduction — Reason for Studv
The Town of Atlantic Beach received a planning grant during fiscal year 1998-99 to
prepare a public access plan and to conduct a preliminary assessment of other recreation
needs. The NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) through its
Division of Coastal Management (DCM) administers the grant award.
DCM has assisted coastal local governments in preparing access plans since the 1980's.
Over the years many local governments have prepared access plans to better help them deal
with increasing numbers of visitors and year round residents alike. By definition, DCM's
access priorities have been primarily pedestian access to the ocean beaches, and secondly
access to the public trust and inland waters of the region. In addition to providing funds for
access plans, DCM also administers another grant program that helps local governments
both acquire property and provide physical improvements for access purposes. This latter
program gives weight to communities that have prepared access plans.
This document will be typical in that it will focus on pedestrians access. But it will also
explore other non -pedestrian access needs. This document is not typical in that it will
address needs that most ocean front communities in North Carolina ignore, that of
recreation and leisure time activities and facilities. By their very nature, "beach"
communities historically are a destination for the purpose of going to the beach for a
vacation, but population and land use changes of late now may redirect that sole purpose.
In preparing this document, the Town has also taken a novel approach of asking a
random number of property owners their perception of access and recreation issues. The
Town chose a mail out survey, augmented by interviews with Town leaders, business people
and other interested parties to solicit this involvement. Very few North Carolina beach
communities have gone to these efforts.
This document should provide guidance on future access and recreation needs for
Atlantic Beach. In achieving that goal the document includes:
• an evaluation of population, housing and land use changes
• an examination of Town policies and other guidance for access/recreation
• an evaluation of existing access facilities, public as well as private
9 an evaluation of select property owners opinions on access and recreation needs

• an examination of existing facilities to those of other coastal communities and to state
standards
• potential sites for access
• typical site design -cost estimates
• potential sources for funding access/recreation facilities
A. Changes
1. Population -Atlantic Beach's May 1997 CRC certified Land Use Plan Addendum
includes an excellent review of population changes in the Town and county. These
changes occur for many reasons; national population shifts to the south and near the
ocean, increased retirement in the region, increased military and industrial growth in the
area etc. These changes are important to Atlantic Beach in that they show past
patterns and forecast numbers into the future --- increasing numbers for which the
Town will have to provide services, including access, parking, and possibly recreation.
The 1997 Addendum includes the following population summary of importance
for access/recreation purposes:1
• Carteret County was the 24th fastest growing county in North Carolina between 1980-
94; it was the 6th fastest of the 20 county CAMA area.
• The county's population grew from 41,092 to 56,624 between 1980-94.
• Between 1970-94 Atlantic Beach's year round population increased 655%, well ahead
of the average of 9 1 % for all municipalities in Carteret County.
• Most of this growth in Town slowed (relatively speaking) during the 1980's. In the
1970's the rate of growth was 213%; during the 1980's, 106%. The decline of year
round growth is in part due to fewer new/additional housing available for year round
occupancy.
• The Town's permanent population increased 681% between 1970-95; from 300 to
2,344.
• The Town's permanent population in 1980 was 941; in 1990 the number was 1,958
yielding a 108% increase.
• Between 1990 and 1995 the permanent population increased over 19% from 1,958
persons to 2,344.
• Atlantic Beach also has a significant seasonal population.
2

• From 1970-1995 the seasonal poulation increased 391% from 5,475 to 26,924.
• Between 1980-1990 the seasonal increase was 59% from 13,017 persons to 20,755.
• Between 1990-1995 seasonal increases from 20,755 to 26,924 persons yielded a 29%
increase.
• Day visitors significantly increase the Town's population during the summer season.
The Town estimated a total population of 60,000 people on July 4, 1995. Based on the
estimated overnight population on that date, approximately 30,700 people visited the
Beach for the day.
• Fort Macon State Park, east of Town,, had 1,462,062 visitors in 1994. This has a
significant impact on the Town.
• Population increases between 1994 and 2005 are expected to remain the same as those
experienced between 1990-94 for Atlantic Beach. This means in 2005 the Town will
have 3,252 persons, a 43% increase from 2,267 people. This rate is the second highest
municipal rate of increase in the County. The Town's 2005 population percent of total
County population will increase from 4% in 1994 to 5% in 2005. This permanent
population will increase at a rate 1.9 times the County rate of increase.
• Seasonal populations will also grow. In 1995 the Town estimated 30,700 overnight
persons. That number should increase to 68,500 in the year 2000; and to 79,300 in
2005. This does not include day visitors but is based on the assumption of 100%
occupancy of seasonal units with four persons per motel unit and five persons per
private seasonal unit.
2. Housin changes in number and type of housing units also have impacts on access and
recreation. Again the Town's 1997 Land Use Plan Addendum includes housing figures
as follows:
• housing construction in Atlantic Beach in the 1980's was dominated by multi-
family units, but that pattern is now changing.
• in 1983, permits were issued for 136 multi -family units; between 1990-95, that
number was 50. During this five year period 218 total residential permits were
issued; 23% or 50 units were multi -family, 72 or 33% were for mobile homes, and
the remaining 44% or 96 were for single family units.
3

• 1990 census figures show 4,599 total residential units in Town; with another 218
units added since then, the 1995 number is 4,817.
e housing forecasts are based on trends from the last five years in which an average
of 36 residential permits were issued each year. By 2010 an additional 521 new
dwelling units are expected based on current densities. These units would occupy
the remaining 50 acres of available land for residential purposes and build out
would occur.
3. Land Use according to the Town's 1997 Land Use Plan Addendum, little
public/institutional lands are available within the Town and no change occurred
between 1992 and 1996. That document noted 10 acres available in this category in
both years. A review of the location of parcels in this land use category show they are
distributed throughout the Town and include access sites on the ocean and Town
property on Smith Street. Some opportunities may exist for more access/recreation on
several of those sites.
During FY 1996-97 the NCDOT made improvements that will enhance
recreation and leisure time activities. A bike path, sidewalks and landscaping were
installed along Atlantic Beach Causeway from Fort Macon Road to the bridge. During
1999 the Town is constructing sidewalks on the south side of east Fort Macon linking
up the bike parth. A bike path was constructed from the western Town Limits to Fort
Macon Road and other sidewalks and crosswalks at various locations throughout
Town. These facilities have proved to be popular and used quite a bit.

B. Land Use Plan Policies Related to Access -Recreation
Atlantic Beach's 1993 Land Use Plan Update was certified by the Coastal Resources
Commission (CRC) on May 27, 1994. Local adoption had occurred on May 16th.
Subsequent to these actions, the Town prepared and adopted an Addendum to that Plan in
May 19, 1997 which was CRC certified on May 30, 1997.
The Addendum was prepared in order for the Town to comply with the Coastal Area
Management Act (CAMA's) requirements that Land Use Plans be updated every five years
in accordance with the CRC updating their planning guidelines every five years. The
CRC's most recent guideline update became effective in 1996 and included several new
issues and items not included in the Town's 1994 certified Plan. While technically the
Town's 1994 Plan needed updating only by 1999 to comply with the five year update
requirement, the Town was asked to update their Plan ahead of schedule. According to
dialogue in the plan Addendum "This request is due to recent changes in NCAC 7B and the
need to coordinate Land Use Plan Updates on a county -by -county basis, requiring all
municipalities within a given county to update their plans at the same time. The primary
reason for this change is to create the opportunity for neighboring municipalities to work
together in the formation of their plans."
According to dialogue in the Addendum, "It should be noted that the purpose of this
Addendum is to address only the additional requirements included in the revised NCAC 7B
i
and to provide more recent data where applicable. This Addendum does not address all of
the topics covered in the 1993 land use plan. However, this Addendum, in conjunction
with the 1993 Land Use Plan Update, addresses all requirements of the revised 7B planning
guidelines."
1. Policies in the Addendum
As the 1997 Addendum deals only with new issues not previously
addressed, few new policies related to access -recreation were noted. However
those which are included in the Addendum are quiteworthy of note.
• page IV-2 VISION STATEMENT
"...Atlantic Beach would like the "Circle" to become the focal point of
Town, providing public beach access and a variety of commercial uses suitable
for family vacationers."
• page IV-3

C. MISCELLANEOUS RESOURCE PROTECTION
(g) Atlantic Beach opposes non -water dependent uses on ocean front
beaches except for recreational and playground equipment, and beach access.
2. Policies and Other Guidance in the Plan Update
As the 1994 Plan Update dealt with many more issues than those in the
Addendum, significant guidance is provided on access and recreation matters.
Dialogue is included in the data collection and analysis section of the Plan
which provides the reader with a "view" of the Town, and later specific policies
give direction and meaning to Town goals.
• The existing Land Use Map (page I-27) and subsequent dialogue notes
some opportunity for access of land presently in public/institutional use.
Those uses are listed on pages 1-33, noting the regional access site on
Atlantic Boulevard West and a small park on South Street.
• Pages 1-38 includes dialogue noting the Town's 1988 Plan contain policies
that meet or exceed the state's minimum use standards. Significant among
them are: Beach and shoreline regulations.
These regulations are included in Chapter 5 of the Municipal Code.
Usage of beach and shoreline areas is regulated; including prohibition of
glass containers, surfing cannot occur within 200' of the piers, vehicular
traffic, and issuance of permits for beach traffic.
• Pages 1-42 includes a section on the Town's marina ordinance:
In 1978, the Town adopted a marina ordinance. The ordinance defines
marinas as establishments providing storage for more than six boats, wet or
dry facility. A site plan is required which meets the ordinance requirements
for minimum lot size, width, depth, side yard and rear yard. The site plan
must be prepared by a registered engineer, and include parking and storage
areas, driveways, signs, lighting, pollution control, and dock construction.
• Pages 1-65 etc. include dialogue on Estuarine Shorelines, Public Trust
Areas and Ocean Hazard Areas. Dialogue notes the importance of these
areas for access and recreation, and for the most part acknowledges and
accepts that the state regulates these areas.
• Pages 1-72 notes Public Parks and reiterates the small facility on Moonlight
Drive.
The PROTECTED PUBLIC FACILITIES NEEDS/AVAILABILITY
section of the plan (page 11-9) notes the need to maintain shoreline access
facilities.
The Policy Statements section of the Town's Plan Update provides
insight into the Town's position and possible course of action available to
address certain issues confronting the Town. This section of CAMA plans
is considered by many to be the "heart" of the Plan. As such significant
value is placed on policies. Those related to public access and recreation
follow:
• Page IV-5 Marina and Floating Home Development dialogue here defines
marinas, docks and piers and notes the Town supports marina development,
consistent with state and local regulations, prohibits floating homes, and
0

encourages such permitted development to have minimal negative impacts
on natural resources.
• Page IV-9 notes the Town's strong desire to minimize development damage
to Public Trust Areas, sand dunes, wetlands, etc. (This applies to all
development but could have implications for access -recreation facilities.)
• Page IV-13 notes Estuarine Access is regulated by the state in 15ANCAC
7M and the Town supports those regulations. The Town will also conform
to CAMA, other state and federal regulations concerning development of
estuarine access areas.
• Page IV-13 notes the Town's policy on Commitment to State and Federal
programs incudes the Town will continue to support fully such programs,
especially "...the North Carolina shoreline access program ..." and
"...federal and state projects which provide efficient and safe boating access
for commercial and sport fishing."
• Page IV-13 etc. notes Town policy on Tourism. Policies related to
access/recreation are included as follows:
(a) Atlantic Beach will support NCDOT projects to improve access to and
within Carteret County and Atlantic Beach.
(b) Atlantic Beach will support projects that will increase public access to
shoreline areas.
(c) Atlantic Beach will continue to support the activities of NC Division of
Travel and Tourism; specifically the monitoring of tourism -related industry,
efforts to separate tourism -related commercial activity and efforts to
enhance and provide shoreline resources.
(d) The Town's development priorities and goals of environmental and
resource protection clearly state its strong desire to encourage and promote
tourism. This policy is implemented through the network of other policies
contained in this Plan.
Summary — Clearly there is a common theme included in the Town's 1997 Land Use
Plan Amendment and the 1994 Plan Update in access -recreation issues. The Town
certainly supports and desires access, both ocean and estuarine, but not limited to
traditional pedestrian use. Boat access and marinas are deemed important to the Town.
Other limited non -shoreline recreation facilities were also noted. The Town strongly
supports continued tourism as a desirable activity. The Town, while supporting access -
recreation activities, demands they be done in such a way as. to minimize natural
resource destruction.

3. Agencies Use of Land Use Plan Policies in Access -Recreation Programs
One of the goals of the Coastal Area Management Act (CAMA)
of 1974 was to create a partnership between state and local
governments. The state was reponsible for developing guidelines for
land use planning and natural resource protection and the local
government had primary responsibility for developing local land use
plans to guide local growth. CAMA envisioned state agencies using
locally and CRC approved plans (including policies) in their decision
making as how their various programs would affect the local
government. CAMA and the CRC's subsequent planning guidelines
gave local governments wide latitude in developing local policies, as
long as they did not violate other natural resource development
principles.
l Unfortunately, in the 25 years since CAMA's ratification, state
and federal agency use of local plans in decision making leaves much to
be desired. Many agencies simply are ignorant of CAMA objectives,
others simply ignore local plans. Nonetheless local land use plans have
played an important role for local governments to periodically review
thew situation, develop policies to deal with new issues and make those
goals known. This institutionalization of a local planning process has
helped many local governments deal with land use issues in a
comprehensive way.
One agency, the Division of Coastal Management (DCM), does
use local plans and policies routinely in their decision making. CAMA
development permits needed for projects within Areas of Environmental
Concern (AEC) must consider policy before they can be issued. For
example, if a local government policy for marina development stated
"we don't want any more commercial marinas", a CAMA development
permit for that activity could not be issued even if it met state resource
- protection goals. Local policies, thus, have great affect on CAMA
development permits.
8

Likewise, the DCM administers an annual grant program for
public access projects. Local governments are invited each year to
apply for funds to assist in their access needs. If a local government can
demonstrate they have policies promoting pedestrian access, DCM will
consider those policies in deciding whether to fund that proposal or not.
Similarly, if a local government has developed a separate public access
plan, and uses that plan as a justification for the application, typically
that application receives more consideration than an application from a
local government that does not have an access plan.
In a similar way, the state administers the NC Parks and
Recreation Trust Fund program. This program considers numerous
recreation proposals from many local governments throughout the state
and local recreation plans are given consideration in the decision to fund
a project.
Surfice it to say that while all state (and federal) agencies may
not use local plans and policies as the sole criteria for grant fund
allocation, enough do use them in the decision making process to justify
a local government developing policies and plans. Potential funding
sources and the agencies administering them are included in more detail
later in other sections of this document.

II. Atlantic Beach Access/Inventory and Evaluation
A. Ocean Access
Previous planning documents for the Town (1993 Land Use Plan, 1988 Land
Use Plan) have referenced 50 access sites in Town. It is unclear what these numbers
represent, but is thought to include those sponsored by the Town as well as those
located within various private planned unit developments and subdivisions. It may
- also include various street stub outs that are assumed to be dedicated for public use.
For this project, Town officials have identified sites that are publicly sponsored.
A list of those and facilities follow. They are also shown on the Public Property Public
Access Map. While total numbers of sites in private developments are not available,
access facilities were noted in Sands Villa Resort, Island Quay, Southwinds,
Peppertree Resorts, Dunescape Villas, Ocean Sands, Snugglers Cove, etc.
A large multi -regional facility within Fort Macon State Park east of Town is
also available to the public. Ocean access facilities are also available to the public for
a fee at the Triple S Pier, Oceana Pier, Sportsman Pier, etc.
It is interesting to note that the majority of ocean public access ways are located
within several blocks of the Circle, at the Circle, or in Club Colony. West of these
areas the only facilities are at the Sheraton Hotel. It is also clear the Town has a well
established ocean access program.
B. Sound Access
Public access to Bogue Sound is quite limited in Atlantic Beach. The Town
owns and operates a boat launch facility on Moonlight Drive. While the launch facility
I _ is adequate, no parking exists for cars and trailers. A sign on this site limits parking to
30 minutes. A small unoccupied Town owned site on nearby Smith Street may provide
an opportunity for parking. In November of 1998, numerous boats or trailers were
noted on this site, and it is believed residents in the vicinity may be storing their
; property there.
Another small Town owned site on Bogue Sound Boulevard fronts on West
Canal. The canal is heavily bulkheaded and no parking signs are on the site. The site
now has a ramp and access is possible.
10

During the Focus Group discussion group session held November 19, 1998,
participants noted the possibility of one or so public sites located in the Forest Hill
Drive area that front on Bogue Sound.
Numerous private marinas and boat storage and launch facilities exist along the
causeway and Fort Macon Road. These facilities generally offer a range of services for
boat access. Fuel, ice, bait and other sundries as well as parking and boat storage are
— available for the boating public at these facilities.
The Coastal Federation, an environmental group, recently received a grant from
the State Clean Water Management Trust Fund to purchase 30 acres of land on both
!, sides of the headwaters at Hoop Pole Creek. While not Town property, it offers much
potential for sound side access. This property is to remain in its present natural
condition to aid in filtering water runoff. There is a partially paved trail through the
area and it is open for public use. Water access for pedestrians is available but the
water depth is not suitable for swimming. The site is difficult to locate as it does not
front on Salter Path Road and is not signed.
The following maps and tables show existing and future access sites.

D. Comparison of State Access Standards and Other Local Government Facilities
Webster's Seventh Collegiate Dictionary defines the word compare as "... to examine
the character or qualities of, especially to discover resemblances or differences." It is
important to note this definition does not include value judgement nor imply better or
worse, it simply notes the examination as a "finding of fact."
In order for Atlantic Beach officials to examine the characteristics of state and other
coastal local governments access ways, data concerning these matters was collected and is
presented here. It can give a sense of where Atlantic Beach "fits" in relationship with other
communities.
1. State Access Standards — As stated elsewhere in this report, the Division of Coastal
Management has helped provide financial aid for numerous access facilities since the
1980's. The Division has several categories for access facilities as follows:
(a) Multi -Regional Sites — These are large facilities with generally only one per coastal
county. Parking should be based on seasonal population estimates. These sites are
larger than a regional facility, but smaller than a state park. These facilties provide
parking for 80 to 200 vehicles, have rest rooms, indoor showers and they may have
concession facilities. These facilities can be sponsored by several local
governments and state agencies. The facility in Fort Macon State park is a multi -
regional facility.
(b) Regional Sites — These facilities are of a size and scale that they serve the public
from throughout the island or community. Day visitors are also served. General
parking is provided for 50-80 vehicles. These facilities have rest rooms, foot
showers, litter receptacles and dune crossovers. Signs are also provided. The
facility at New Bern Street and at the Circle are regional sites. Although no
restrooms are available at the Sheraton, it is also considered a regional facility.
(c) Neighborhood Sites — These facilities serve primarily the.public within the
immediate area or subdivision. Parking for 5-25 vehicles is generally provided as
are dune crossovers, trash receptacles and occasionally rest room facilites are also
16

provided. Signs identify these facilities. Several sites within a few blocks of the
Circle are neighborhood sites, although parking is limited.
(d) Local Sites — These small scale facilities may be located every block. Typically they
are for pedestrian use, provide little or no vehicle parking, may have a bicycle rack
and trash receptacles. Dune crossovers and signs are sometimes provided. They
serve a very limited population in the immediate vicinity. Local sites are noted
throughout Atlantic Beach.
The reader should note these descriptions are not "standards" in the traditional
sense of the word, but rather offer guidance to local governments trying to provide
for access needs.
2. Access Sites
The following Tables 1 through 8 show access sites and facilities from several
coastal communities and towns that have been funded in part by the Division of Coastal
Management. These communities were selected in order to show the variety of types
and locations of sites and the whole range of amenities available. This information was
generated through data supplied by the Division. It is clear from this information some
local governments have had very active particiaption, while others have had little.
Tables 9 through 16 show the Division of Coastal Management access grants
for several counties and towns. Again the intent is to show the wide range of
particiation, and the wide range of funding amounts. Again it is clear some
communities have had very active particiapiton, others little. This data was also
supplied from Division of Coastal Management records for the access program and also
describe only those facilities funded in part by Division of Coastal Management.
Throughout the coastal area there are many projects that have been locally funded over
the years and they are not reflected in this data.
It is hoped these tables will prove useful to Atlantic Beach on access matters.

E. State Recreation Guidelines
The North Carolina Division of Parks and Recreation has developed standards and
guidelines to aid local governments in providing recreation facilities and programs. While
"standards" can be measured, it is important to understand that recreation is highly variable
in different local governments as communities have different and changing needs. For
example, Community A may have a large number of school aged children between the ages
of 9-11. That community will have different recreation needs than Community B which
has few school aged children, but a large older adult population.
While too lengthy to include here, the Division and federal standards and guidelines
included in the Appendix can be a useful guide. However, recreation experts caution that
careful thought concerning a particular local governments needs is imperative in
establishing both demand and facilities. These experts note that communities having large
seasonal populations, as Atlantic Beach does, should view the traditional standards with
great caution.
Experts advise that questionnaires such as the one used by Atlantic Beach can often
provide insight into a particular local government's needs.
F. Recreation Facilities and Budgets
1. Atlantic Beach
As stated earlier the Town has no formal recreation program. At one time a
recreation director position was created, but before any activity could be implemented
the position was abolished. Lifeguard services are available in the Boardwalk area and
New Bern site during summer months.
A number of businesses along the Causeway, Fort Macon Road, the Circle and
Salter Path Road cater to recreators. Surfboard, fishing tackle, kites and other sundry
items are offered to the vacationer. All these activities have a great economic impact
on the Town and aid in supplying visitors with needed items for water activities.
38

The Town owns several parcels of land in the Circle area that have potential for
recreation. During the Spring of 1999, playground equipment is being installed on the
east end of the pavilion property for public use. The location of these parcels and land
values in this area are both assets and liabilities. Parcel location make these available
for high volume activity. Land values may result in the Town deciding to lease or rent
these for private business purposes as a revenue generator, thus limiting potential
recreation use.
The Town also has a small unoccupied site on both Smith Street and two off
Bogue Sound Boulevard. They are sited in such a way and are of such small size that
organized recreation opportunities may be very limited. The Smith Street and Bogue
Sound Boulevard west site are presently used for what appears to be unauthorized
parking of boat trailers, etc.
Several private planned developments offer swimming pools, tennis courts, etc.
for residents and guests. This does fill some recreation needs that otherwise might go
wanting.
2. Town of Emerald Isle Recreation/Access Facilities

and the Town of Emerald Isle.
5. Ocean Oaks Park
The Ocean Oaks Neighborhood Park is located in the Ocean Oaks
Subdivision just off Coast Guard Road. The development of this Park was
40

made possible through coordination between the Town of Emerald Isle and the
Bogue Banks Water Company. The water corporation permitted the Town to
install playground equipment, a grill, picnic table, bike rack, and one
handicapped parking space on a portion of a parcel it was using to operate a
pumping station. Although the pumping station is no longer in use, it is still
located on site, The town maintains the recreational facilities at the park while

outdoor showers, crossover, picnic shelters, tables, grills, and bicycle racks.

III. Survey and Focus Group Results
A. INTRODUCTION
In June 1998, John Crew, Coastal Consortium, Consulting Planners, Inc., met with
the Director and Assistant Director of the ECU Survey Research laboratory. As the result
of his discussion with Ed Sealover, the Town wanted to start the process of designing
scientific research to assess the opinions of the Atlantic Beach taxpayers concerning ocean
and sound access and recreation in Atlantic Beach. It was also clear that a process to
incorporate the opinions of business leaders and community leaders needed to be
incorporated into the research design.
The SRL worked with John Crew and Ed Sealover to develop a design for a mail
survey that kept the costs as low as possible without sacrificing scientific validity by
allowing Atlantic Beach personnel to do as much of the work as possible following
directions developed by the SRL. The SRL advised Atlantic Beach concerning the
questionnaire design, the rationale for selecting a sampling frame, designing the scientific
sampling procedure, protocol for a mail survey, data input, and data analysis. The final
design was approved by the Town prior to mail out.
In addition, SRL, John Crew and the Town of Atlantic Beach joined together to
conduct a focus group of business and community leaders. The Town obtained the facilities
for the group meeting, recruited the participants, and provided dinner. John Crew designed
the questions and briefed the participants on the background of the issues. SRL facilitated
the group and analyzed the results.
B. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
j In the fall of 1998, the Town of Atlantic Beach worked with John Crew, Coastal
Consortium, Consulting Planners, Inc. and the ECU Survey Research Laboratory to design
and conduct cost-efficient, scientifically valid research to assess the opinions of Atlantic
Beach property owners concerning ocean and sound access and recreational activities. This
Research followed the standards and practices suggested by the American Association of
Public Opinion Researchers and the American Statistical Association. In addition, a focus
group was developed to provide the views of community and business leaders.
While a few people dreamed of large projects for Atlantic Beach, most people
seemed satisfied with the Town. Any large project requiring a tax increase would run into
- significant opposition from both the general population of property owners and from the
community leaders. The community leaders identified some low-cost, focused projects that
could improve ocean and sound access in Atlantic Beach. These included clearly marking
and improving the existing ocean and sound access points. Improving pedestrian highway
crossing in the West -end of town is another example. While property owners were
satisfied with existing recreational opportunities and opposed any new recreational
55

programs that raised taxes, they were also able to identify recreational facilities that they
would like to have available. In a similar vein, the community leaders focused on the need
for a recreation director who could develop low-cost programs targeted to meet
community needs. The director would be expected to raise funds from user fees or grants
to pay for these programs. There was strong agreement that Carteret County should pay
part of the cost of recreation programs and the director would be expected to advocate for
the town's "fair share."
C. QUESTIONNAIRE, INTRODUCTION, RESEARCH DESIGN, SURVEY AND
FOCUS GROUP DESIGN, RESULTS
In the past, businesses have tended to measure their success by the bottom line of a
profit/loss statement. Government organization used election results to measure their
success. While these are important, they are not the only measures of success. During the
last decade people working at all levels of government and in all types of businesses have
become aware of the need to systematically assess their clients needs and opinions.
i_
People from many different perspectives (e.g., Total Quality Management and
Reinventing Government) have recognized that customer satisfaction with both the product
and services provide the important foundation underlying future success. Since judgments
of customer satisfaction are often based on informal feedback, it can be very biased and
inaccurate. Many people working in private enterprises and in government (national, state
and local) have turned to scientific surveys of their customers.
56

SURVEY RESEARCH DESIGN
The research was designed and executed according to the scientific standards for mail
j _ surveys developed by Don Dillman at the Washington State University. The Dillman Total
Design Method specifies rules for questionnaire development, length and format, packet
contents, mailing procedures and follow-ups. This research design calls for three questionnaire
mailings and a postcard reminder.
In October, the questionnaire, a cover letter explaining the purpose of the survey and a
stamped return envelope was mailed to the random sample of 800 Atlantic Beach property
owners
In November, a second questionnaire, cover letter and return envelope was mailed to
everyone who had not responded.
In all 494 property owners completed and returned the survey. The response rate for
the survey was 61.8 percent (if no one was eliminated) [IF THERE WERE A HUNDRED
BAD ADDRESSES, THE RESPONSE RATE WOULD EXCEED 70%]. This response rate
exceeds the minimum response rate for scientific standards for mail surveys. The data allow
accurate and valid estimations of the views of the Atlantic Beach property owners.

RESULTS OF THE SURVEY OF
ATLANTIC BEACH PROPERTY OWNERS
1. Over three -fourths of the respondents thought that the Town's large ocean beach accesses
are adequate for the current needs of the Town. Full-time residents were slightly less likely
to be "uncertain."
2. Over three -fourths of the respondents thought that the Town currently has an adequate mix
of regional, neighborhood, and local ocean -access. Full-time residents were slightly less

D. FOCUS GROUP DESIGN
A focus group was held on November 19, 1998 in the Atlantic Beach Town Hall
Annex. It began at 6:30 and lasted until almost 9:00 p.m.In order to keep the costs to the
Town as low as possible, the Town of Atlantic Beach assisted the SRL and John Crew in
conducting the focus group of business and community leaders. The Town reserved a room
in the Town Hall Annex for the group meeting, recruited the community and business
leaders to participate in the group, participants, and provided dinner. John Crew designed
_ the questions and briefed the participants on the background of the issues. The SRL
facilitated the group, recorded the participants' comments and analyzed the results.

- MAJOR FOCUS GROUP FINDINGS
1. Public access for residents (seasonal and year-round) is a problem. The first step is to
clearly mark and improve the access the town already has. There was support for using tax
dollars for low-cost improvement targeted at the needs of residents (i.e., taxpayers). More
costly projects should not be considered until this is done.
2. Making public access point handicapped accessible would benefit many segments of the
population (e.g., elderly residents, families with young children, etc.) and may be financed
largely through grants.
3. Public access for non-resident tourists was not a widespread concern for the focus group.
There was agreement that projects designed to serve the needs of tourists should be paid
for by the businesses that benefit and the people who use them (user fees).
4. The only real recreational need that can be addressed is the need for a recreation director.
Everything else depends on this position and it is central to developing a recreation
program that truly reflects the needs of the residents, both year-round and seasonal. The
director's salary should be paid from Town revenues but programs should be financed
largely from other sources (e.g., grants, user fees or county funds).
61

DETAILED RESULTS OF FOCUS GROUP
Important challenges facing Atlantic Beach
• The limits to economic development were one major focus of this discussion. The lack of a
sewage system was a widely recognized to be the primary limiting factor. Revitalizing the
- circle was also recognized as an important challenge facing Atlantic Beach. Lack of central
sewage system made any plans to revitalize the circle more difficult.
• Recreation was a second theme of this discussion. There was substantial support for more
recreational opportunities for people of different ages and physical abilities. The need for
more sound and beach access including boat ramps and wheelchair access was noted. Some
stressed the need for family -oriented recreation while others stressed the need for places
catering to young people.
• A third theme was the problems with the high volume of summer traffic on Fort Macon
highway.
• Finally, there was a consensus that Atlantic Beach did not get its fair share of support from
Carteret County. It was noted that while Atlantic Beach attracts tourists to the area but
many tourists spend their money on the mainland.
62

FOCUS GROUP QUESTIONS AND RESULTS
_ Public Access to Public Waters
Does the town have enough access sites or do they need more?
There was general agreement that more access sites were needed and that these sites should be
designed to serve the needs of residents (both seasonal and year-round). The needs of tourists
were considered a completely separate issue.
Several problems with existing facilities were noted and discussed. These include:
j The access problem is seasonal. There is no access problem for the year-round residents in
the winter. There is an access problem during the 7 months of the year when the seasonal
residents are here. There are so many tourists in the summer that it makes it difficult for the
residents (both year-round and seasonal) to use the beach and sound access. Public access
needs to be designed to insure that residents get to use the facilities they financed. Some
noted that businesses depend on the tourists and that the town board has often experienced
conflicts between residents and business owners.
• There is a disparity at different ends of town. Ocean access points in the West End are
! sadly lacking. The Sheraton is not a true public access since it is hard to cross the highway;
there is no boat ramp and no public parking facilities. There was a general agreement on
the need for pedestrian controlled lights in this area but no agreement on the number or
location. It was generally agreed that there was a need for resident parking at this location
but it was not clear how it could be reserved for residents. Sound access in this area is
available but unmarked so that people do not realize that it is a public access. There is no
parking at this access point.
• There is a need to clearly mark all public access. Property owners close off public accesses
so no one knows it's public. The public accesses are not clearly defined so the residents
don't know what the town already has.
,_ _ • There is a need to improve the access that exists to make it easier to get on and off the
beach and to make it handicapped accessible. Wheelchair accessible boardwalks would also
help the elderly and all people who are carrying things like chairs and coolers to the beach.
Attractive, visible, easily accessible public access speaks well of the town.
63

Who should pay for increased access?
First, there was general agreement that many of these ideas were not large budget ideas (e.g.,
clearly making and improving existing accesses). People seemed to think that residents (both
year-round and seasonal) would be willing to pay for projects that realistically addressed their
needs. Absentee property owners should also help pay for these projects since they will make
their property more valuable. Where grants are available, they should be used. The people
present generally agreed that "people would dig in their pockets and do the right thing" if they
believed that a project would make a nice place to live even better.
Generally, the participants seemed to think that private businesses should be an important
source of funds for projects that would provide better access for tourists User fees should also
be charged for this type of project. Some grant money may be available and county funds
would be welcomed. There was not much support for spending tax money on this type of
project.
If there was one thing you could do to improve access, what would that be?
• More sound access is needed. ocean access is fine.
• Visibility signage for accesses points - make the signs bigger and more visible.
• Clearly define what accesses we already have (width and location).
• Tell people how to get to the access from Fort Macon Road.
Businesses should do something to help the area
• Identify public accesses on ocean and initiate grant money to improve it.
• Identify accesses and look for grant money.
• Agree with the others
• Build walkways to beach for handicapped and non -handicapped especially at end of streets.
Majority of the public would use this type of access.
• Clear identification of public access is critical, and so is improving handicapped access
• Need to identify accesses
• Residents know where accesses are. The town needs to fix them and clearly mark them.
• Parking is the main issue.
911

-- Other comments on the need for more parking
• I don't support it because it encourages more day-trippers.
• It would be okay if a user -fee was charged.
• A parking deck at the circle is a good idea
• The parking problem is equal to the sewer problem
Recreation in Atlantic Beach
Atlantic Beach needs to remember that its biggest recreation draw is the ocean and the sound.
There would not be any parking and access problems if we didn't have those. Any recreation
programs should build around these assets.
The focus of the group discussion was on recreation for young people. Morehead City has a
very strong recreational program for children. Some think that the number of children living in
Atlantic Beach year round is to small to justify something like that but other think that the
children are being overlooked. People point to successful (e.g., Kidfest) and unsuccessful (e.g.,
church teen clubs) recreation programs.
Many children, like their parents, are seasonal residents of Atlantic Beach. In the summer,
some businesses are packed with local kids and young tourists. The ocean will attract
teenagers and providing recreational opportunities is the best way to keep kids out of trouble.
Some thought that private business rather than the Town should provide this type of recreation
-- while other suggested the need for cooperation between the Town and local businesses.
The recreation issue is political. The town board is divided on it. It is the sorest subject
because Atlantic Beach property owners pay a lot of money to Carteret County but get almost
nothing in return. The county services are not adequate for Atlantic Beach.
Sometime in the past, the Town board was enthused about recreation and hired a director. The
next board was a split on recreation so the position of recreation director was eliminated. At
that time the town bought property to use as a community center but it has never been
developed.
There was a consensus in the group that this was a major mistake and that Atlantic Beach
needed a recreation director. Because of the seasonal changes in this community, the director
needs to develop flexible programs that fulfill the needs of the various seasonal populations.
This is a more complex task than in a town with a stable year-round population. The survey is
a good first step but the Town needs someone who can combine survey -data with informal
' feedback from the residents and then develop creative responses within the constraints of a
t'
65

very limited budget. On the other hand, the director would have the special assets of the ocean
and sound with which to work.
The Director will also have to represent the Town to county officials. The Director will need
to show county officials that their facilities are not adequate because they are too far away.
The Director will need to figure out what residents will support and develop a practical plan
for how that can be achieved. He will need to develop community support for the program and
may need to go door to door talking with people. He will need to convince county officials to
support these projects or develop alternative funding for these projects.
Concern was expressed for the type of recreational opportunities that seems to be developing.
The circle used to be safe but it no longer feels safe to many residents. The type of
entertainment determines the crowd it attracts. Develop a clean, family -oriented environment
and bad people stay away. The recreation director should help Atlantic Beach reverse this
trend.
The group expressed the feeling that the only real recreational need that can be address at this
time is the need for a director. Everything else depends on this position. It is central to
developing a recreation program that truly reflects the needs of the residents, both year-round
-- and seasonal. It is necessary if Atlantic Beach is going to provide for its residents. The group
firmly stated that people should petition the Town board to hire a director.
As long as the Recreation Director pursued the course outlined in the group, the group was
willing to have the director's salary be paid from Town Revenues.
Other comments on Recreation
The county has a beautiful senior citizens facility in Morehead City. They charge a user fee.
Many people don't use it because it is so far away.
The Town needs a community center where residents can hold social functions.
Year round fishing should be developed to extend the tourist season. Piers and a catwalk on
the high-rise bridge could be used for sound fishing. User fees could be charged to pay for
these projects.

F. EVIPLICATIONS FOR TOWN LEADERS
During the recent presidential impeachment debate, the American Association of
Public Opinion Research (AAPOR) released a document instructing the media on the
proper use of polls. In it, Philip Meyer (UNC-CH) presented a set of"do's and don'ts of
reporting on polls." He asked editors to "use polls to enhance your leadership, not
substitute for it." The same advice applies to community leaders. The Town of Atlantic
Beach has conducted a valid scientific study of community opinion; the Town's challenge is
to use it to shape the future.
There is little popular support among property owners for a project that requires a
tax increase. If government leaders believe that there is a need for such a project, they will
have to help the property owners understand why it is important to the future of Atlantic
Beach. There is substantial support for cost-effective, targeted projects that improve the
quality of life in Atlantic Beach. Improved road crossings and beach walkways are two
examples of these types of projects. Another example would be the mini -marinas approved
- at the February meeting of the Town Board. This should encourage private development
! that will improve the overall quality of boat access.
The two areas where most respondents would appreciate cost-effective actions
would be development of a community center/multi-purpose building and walking/jogging
trails. The focus group of business and community leaders clearly identified the need for a
recreation director who would be responsible for developing programs that could be
funded through grants or user fees and also for getting the county to invest more funds in
programs for Atlantic Beach. By hiring a person whose primary responsibility would be
the development of cost-effective, self-supporting programs, the Town should save money
in the long run.

B. Typical FacilLty Cost
It is essential to remember that cost for accessways are a function of a specific
site and project design and actual cost vary considerably from site to site. For
example, a 4' wide wooden broadwalk that requires no elevation or not crossing a
sand dune would be considerably less than one 6' wide with hand rails that crossed a
7' high sand dune thus requiring pilings driven into the dune to support it.
Similarly using 4"x4" salt treated pilings vs. 6" round pilings would generally
cost less. If the walkway was gradually elevated on the landward side of the dune, but
at dune crest a 7' walkway down to the beach were required, it too would cost more.
Piling depths are generally required to penetrate 8', and mechanized equipment
cannot be used on dunes. This too affects cost. Cost also varies with walkway
decking material; 2x6" lumber cost more than 2x4's. Similarly if picnic tables, charco
al grills, bicycle racks, trash receptacles, etc. are installed, costs also increase.
Contractor costs vary thus adding another unknown. There are so many
variables that it is not possible to predict exact costs until a specific site is known, and
a specific design is available for that site. A landscape architect or engineer may
design features for one site that woud be unnecessary for a different site.
However, several area contractors familiar with accessways and with current
access project work were contacted and "ball park" ranges were obtained. These cost
ranges are current as of February, 1999.
The following list of cost ranges and recent projects were available as noted.
These costs are for installation only and do not include land purchase. Hopefully they
will provide same insight into access installation. Also note these facilities costs are
for neighborhood or local facilities. Regional facilities with bathroom and showers,
observation decks, etc. obviously would cost considerably more. Cost figures in
Tables 9-16 show actual costs for a variety of facilities. Also note the two
neighorbood facilities under construction in Spring of 1999 (one at Wilson Avenue,
the other at 400 Club Colony Drive) included a total grant of $21,400 . Bids
79

for the Wilson Avenue project were from $16,296 to $36,000. This facility is a
6'x138' walkway. Bids for the Club Colony project were from $20,410 to $42,000.
This facility is a 6'x157' walkway.
1. L.A. Downing & Son 252-223-3171— Mr. Pat Joyce advised that sloped salt treated,
wooden crossings with hand rails are generally $15-20 per sq. ft.
2. T.D. Eure Construction Comoanv 252-728-4191 — Mr. Chuck Bisette advised ranges
would be $18-28 per sq. ft. installed. One recently completed at Fort Macon was in
the $28 sq. ft. range.
3. Foley and Foley Contractors Inc 252-636-2515 Mr. Dan Foley advised facilities such
as a neighorhood accessway would runaround $3 8.00 per linear foot. A recent
estimate on a project on Lawson's Creek in New Bern reflected this amount.
4. Taylor Brothers Marine Construction 252-728-2525 Mr. Julius Taylor advises for a 6'
wide 4"x4" piling supported wooden broadwalk with handrails, going over ocean
dunes would be between $50-75 per linear foot. Observation platforms and other
amenities would of course cost more.
5. Outer Banks Marine Construction 252-240-2525 Mr. Tim Grimes advises that a typical
4' wide dune crossover with 4"x4" support pilings, having a handicapped access
incline with handrails would be in the $20 sq. ft. range. Additional platforms or
overlooks or switch backs on the ocean side would of course cost more.
6. Lee General Contractors 252-240-1138 Mr. Robert Lee advised $8.50 - $12 per sq. ft.
is common. Such a facility was recently completed at the Dunes Club in this price
range.
As one can see, costs vary considerly from contractor to contractor, but again,
cost are a function of site consideration and project design. If Atlantic Beach wants to
pursue a particular project on a particular site, then estimates would be more specific
on that site at that time.
C. Sources of Potential Funding Assistance
It is well understood by coastal local governments and state and federal
officials that as tourism and year round populations increase, the demands for
water access and recreation also increases. It is also well understood that
demands for financial assistance are great, and most funding sources receive
many more requests than they are able to fund.
_ There are any number of state and federal funding sources available for
assistance. Typically federal funds are funneled through a state agency for
administration, so local government direct contact with federal officials is
reduced.
,All cost figures were obtained in February, 1999 through telephone interviews
by Coastal Consortium.
M.

The agencies and programs listed here are those that have historically
provided local governments in coastal North Carolina with financial assistance
for access and recreation purposes. Additionally, other programs exist with
priorities other than recreation however recreation and access may be considered
as part of a project. With creative grant requests, these funds may be levered to
-- the local level for those purposes.
The intent here is to provide information to Atlantic Beach that may be
useful in its search for aid. The Town should also note that most programs
require some form of local share and operation and maintenance at the local level
for the useful life of a project.
I. The North Carolina Public and Coastal Waterfront Access Program
This program has been providing grant funds since the 1980's and has
provided much help over the years for access ways. Only local governments
within the 20 county coastal area are eligible to apply. Eligible activities
include the purchase of land, the improvements on site, or both. Projects can
be "phased" over a period of years, but there are no guarantees for
subsequent funding beyond one particular year. Pedestrian access to the
public beaches is typically the highest priority, but projects on the estuarine
or inland waterways can be considered. Likewise projects that have modest
non -pedestrian facilities may be considered. For example a canoe launch
may also be considered as long as the preponderance of the facility is for the
pedestrian public. A joint application from more than one local government
can also be considered. The Division of Coastal Management in the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources administers the program.
Projects can be regional, neighborhood or local in scale and the agency
defines each of those facilities by size, service area and other amenities.
Funds are both state and federal in origin. Projects typically are funded
beginning July 1 or October 1 of any year and terminate one year later.
Solicitation notice is usually let in March for pre -applications and those local
governments with the most competitive projects are invited to submit a final
application. Local governments must generally pay 25% of the total project
cost and in -kind service, materials, etc. are permitted. Local governments
have operation and maintenance obligations for the useful life of the project.
Projects on leased lands may occur under certain conditions. Grant awards
vary, but projects in the $40,000 range have been common recently. The
Town has received several grants through this program in past years. The
local contact persons is:

2. The North Carolina Parks and Recreation Trust Funds
This program is available to assist towns and counties in providing a
wide range of recreation facilities including land acquisition, development,
renovation of facilities, etc. It is state funded and revenues are generated
from a percentage of land transfer tax statewide. In North Carolina this
program basically has replaced the federal Land and Water Conservation
Program as Congress has not allocated money recently. The Division of
Parks and Recreation previously administered Land and Water funds. Any
local government in North Carolina can apply. Each town and county in the
state receives notice of fund availability in September and the local
government must request an application. Applications are due January 31".
Notice of fund allocation occurs in May and June. Each dollar requested
must be matched by equal local dollars, no in -kind services are permitted.
While there is no minimum grant request amount, the maximum is $250,000,
Recently grants have ranged between $30,000480,000. Local governments
receive points in their application if they have a recreation plan, if the project
is included in a Capital Improvements Plan or if the community has a long-
range plan. The program is administered through the North Carolina Division
of Parks and Recreation. The agency also administers the Adopt -A -Trail
program and the National Trails program. The contact person is:

3. North Carolina Marine Fishing Access Program
This program, administered by the North Carolina Division of Marine
Fisheries, assists local governments in providing land based sport -fishing
opportunities. Funds are federal from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service and
fluctuate greatly from year to year. In the recent past, grant awards ranged
from $10,000 to $40,000, with smaller, less costly projects receiving good
consideration. Activities that are eligible include improving existing sites
and/or acquisition of property and development. Projects proposing long
term leases (20-25 years) are also eligible. Local share of total cost is 25%
and in -kind services, materials, etc. can be claimed. Operation and
maintenance agreements with the local government are required and are
negotiable. Eligible projects include small fishing piers, dune crossovers that
provide sport fishermen with access to the beach, capping jetties, catwalks on
bridges, etc. Only local governments having a marine fishery resource are
eligible to apply and the program does not include inland fisheries. Due to the
uncertainty of annual funds, no particular grant application cycle is available,
m

local government simply by letter notify of their intent to apply. The local
contact persons is:
Mr. Maury Wolf, Division of Marine Fisheries, Dept. of Environment and
Natural Resources, PO Box 769, Morehead City, NC 28557, 1-800-682-
2632
4. North Carolina Boat Ramp Program
This program has been in existence approximately 30 years and is
administered by the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission. The program
provides boat ramp access throughout the state. It is not a typical grant
-- program in that there are no application cycles etc. Rather, an interested party,
including a local government, can bring a particular site to the attention of the
Executive Director, Mr. Charles Fullwood. Sites can be on public property or
private property with a 20-year lease and option to renew. Funds come from
boat registration fees, a percentage of gasoline tax and federal funds from the
sport fishing restoration account. Special appropriations also are made by the
legislature. All facilities must be open 24 hours a day and open to the public
with no charge. Operation and management agreements are negotiable. Site
location, size, water depth, direction of currents and proximity to other sites is
included in site selection criteria. Another contact person is:
Mr. Don Tobaben, Wildlife Resources Commission, Division of Engineering
Services, Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources, 512 N Salisbury
Street, Raleigh, NC 27604-1188, 919/715-3155 ext. 277
5. N. G Water Resources Development Grant program
This program makes grant funds available annually to local governments
for a variety of projects. Eligible activities include navigation (including
recreational), flood control, drainage, stream restoration, beach protection, and
aquatic weed control. Local governments throughout the state may apply.
There are two cycles for applications; one due in January, the other in July.
The Division of Water Resources in the DENR administers the program. The
agency has different cost share requirements for local governments depending
on the project purpose. For example, land acquisition and facility development
for water based recreation sites operated by the local government — 50%,
while stream restoration projects are at 66 2/3% and recreational navigation
projects are at 25%. Each application must include an official resolution, a
project narrative, a project plan and location map and a projected budget.

6. NCDept of Transportation Enhancement Program
This program administered by DOT, is through the Intermodal Surface
Transportation Efficient Act (ISTEA) authorized by Congress through 1997.
It provides for federal aid for highways and public transit facilities.
Transportation "enhancement" activities have historically been funded.
Enhancements have included a wide range of activities that may promote
recreation and are listed below. With the recent passage of the Transportation
Equity Act for the 21" Century (TEA-21), the NC DOT is currently reviewing
its guidelines for the Transportation Enhancement Program. As of this writing
it is not know how long this process will take, but DOT will seek public input.
Once the process is complete, DOT will issue a call for projects and review
applications for funding. Enhancement activities that are eligible for
consideration have been:
• Pedestrian and bicycle facilities
• Acquisition of scenic easements and scenic or historic sites
• Scenic or historic highway programs
• Landscaping and other scenic beautification
• Historic preservation
• Rehab and operation of historic transportation buildings, structures or
facilities (including railroad buildings and canals)
• Preserving abandoned railway corridors (including conversions and use
as pedestrian and bicycle trails)
• Controlling and removing outdoor advertising
• Archaeological planning and research
• Mitigating water pollution due to highway runoff
The contact person is:
Ms. Laurie P. Smith, Enhancement Coordinator, Program Development
Branch, NC Dept. of Transportation, Transportation Building, PO Box 25201,

7. Local Revenue Sources.
In addition to those agencies offering aid listed above, local funds can
also be utilized for both access and recreation use. Typically facilities can be
financed through general revenue funds, general bond obligations and
recreation line item budgets. Other sources that have been successfully used in
North Carolina include occupancy taxes, parking fees and impact fees. Local
governments, through their subdivision ordinance regulations, may also require
a dedication of land for recreation use and/or fees in lieu of dedication. Local
donations and volunteerism, while often inconsistent, have also been used
successfully. Finally, while technically not a local source, foundation grants
often make significant contribution to local efforts.

V. Observations and Conclusions
Many Planning documents produced by local governments on a particular issue
include a list of "should" directives. These "shoulds" are translated into specific actions
- necessary to achieve a given objective. These directives are developed when the
shareholders (community leaders, elected officials, professional staff and citizens) have
reached a consensus on the issue. The "shoulds" are less easy to identify when no
consensus is reached.
In Atlantic Beach the results of the questionnaire and focus group session did
identify some common opinions, yet there were also many significant differences. An
analysis of existing Town policy and other documents completed earlier for the Town
offered general opinions on access and recreation matters.
These divergent views in Atlantic Beach on these issues will necessitate Town
leadership to make difficult decisions. In this situation the "shoulds" finally selected will
require careful thought, negotiation, budget considerations and compromise until
consensus can be reached.
The questionnaire and focus group results section earlier offered many findings and
implications for the Town and thus will not be repeated here. It is hoped the following
observations and conclusions will offer guidance to Town leaders as they make difficult
._ decisions about the Town's future in access and recreation. While listed, there is no
particular priority.
Public Access
• Increasing population, year round, seasonal and day visitors, will
for access in the future. create more demands
• The Town has had and still has an active, successful ocean access program.
• Public ocean access west of the Circle area is very limited. (Access provided by
planned developments do provide for those developments and can be said to take some
pressure off public facilities.) Additional public facilities in this western area may
relieve more congested areas elsewhere in Town and offer those living in this area more
Opportunities.
• Parking for access in Atlantic Beach is at a premium except during the colder months
and will likely worsen in the future. Traffic planning specialist may offer some
solutions to this chronic problem before it becomes more acute. Traffic flow, volume
and parking are one of the greatest challenges facing Atlantic Beach's access program.
• Additional opportunities for ocean access exist at numerous street stub -outs. More
utilization beyond those shown in the Town's current Capital Facility Plan are
warranted.
m

• Signage for access is inconsistent or non-existent due to sign theft. Efforts toward
consistency can be beneficial to users.
Except at regional facilities, access for the handicapped is noticeably absent.
Retrofitting some select existing facilities and including in future facilities would help
- mitigate this problems. All access projects funded by Coastal Management require
handicapped access features.
• Consistent design, signage and facilities at neighborhood and local sites (within site
Potential) would provide better access. (Some sites have simple sand trails, others are
r- partially paved, etc.)
• The regional facility at the Circle experiences tremendous use during warmer months
Yet parking is limited. Additional parking in the vicinity (even off site or remote
Parking) would accommodate many would-be users. The Town could explore vendor
supply and management of those type facilities.
• Potential short term use of Town property in the vicinity of the Circle could be for
parking. Admittedly, this is a fairly low intensity use of valuable property, yet easily
changed to a high intensity use if need arises.
• Ocean access for citizen residing north of Fort Macon Road is difficult at best,
dangerous at worse. Traffic control devices and/or designated cross
improve this situation. walks could
• Little interest has been shown for access to Bogue Sound except for crabbing and
fishing docks and few opportunities have been noted for the future.
• Boat access to the Sound is apparently being provided by the private sector at
acceptable levels. There is little public support for the Town to become involved in this
matter.
• Indestructible signage (and enforcement) of the illegal use of Town property on Smith
cinit.
Street and West Canal can potentially offer limited water access in the viy
• Town efforts asking the Coastal Federation to place signs for their Hoop Pole Creek
acility that has great potential. It may also
facility may redirect access users to this f
lessen congestion at other public access sites.
Recreation
• Except for seasonal lifeguard service, the Town in the past has provided no recreation
Programs.
• While no public recreation facility exists in Town, some commercial facilities (miniature
golf, etc.) do provide for seasonal recreators.
• Recreation facilities and programs offered by the county provide opportunities for
Atlantic Beach citizens.
• Yet, a perception exists the county is indifferent to the recreation needs of Atlantic
Beach. Bringing this to the county's attention may result in a more visible presence of
programs available to Town citizens. Outreach efforts by the county could also help
change this perception.
87

• Recreation programs and facilities in neighboring communities, including the county,
are directed by a paid recreation professional. If the Town chooses to pursue providing
recreation services, a professional director is critical to program success. He/she has a
wealth of information provided by the survey to begin with.
• Age of the Town's population are changing thus creating new recreation and leisure
time demands not typical of an ocean front community a decade ago. Much support
exists for a multi -purpose facility to meet these new demands.
• Little support has been shown for additional taxes to finance recreation
facilities/programs, yet these activities could be supported through existing revenues,
user fees and grants.
• Vender supplied recreation activities/facilities (surf board rentals, beach furniture
rentals, etc.) have proven helpful in other areas of the country, thus removing local
governments from direct involvement. The Town would be well advised to pursue this
further.
• Public recreation programs, facilities, staffing, operation and maintenance, etc. are
costly for a local government (note neighboring community budget presented earlier)
initially and reoccur annually. These matters must be weighed carefully to maintain
fiscal integrity before entering into recreation endeavors.
