UPONNORTHSHOREDWYE
Dear Mr. Hedrick.
This office represents a number of lot owners out the opposite side of North Shore Drive
where the town intends to make improvements for beach access.
The map recorded at Map Book 9 Page 71 Onslow Registry, Section 4 Old Sefflers Beach
shows what is now denominated as North ShoriDrive.
There has been no resolution adopted pursuant to NCt i•S 16OA-299 by the Town Council
to dose North Shore Drive, nor has any statutory notice been given to the abutting lot owners.
In the absence ofthis withdrawal, the lot owners, and the general public, have the right to
use the right of way from lot lice to lot line, the entire width of the right of way. The proposed
improveruents of restrooms and storage in the right of Way will deprive these lot owners, and the
general public, of full use of the lntcnded purpose of tho road.
ifthe Town withdraws and closes tbk portion of North Shore Drive, lot owners abusing
the right of way shall be couolusively presumed to be vested &r• the width of the abutting lot to
the centerline ofthe' read. Thus, tha owners of late 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 will have no access to their
lots- Where the owners ofland have dc&cated the land fur a street, a municipality can But
appropriate itto other uses orpmposes. Land dedicated for street can not be used as a paw or
publie square. And in this case, can not be used to construat permanent imgM cmems such as
reshooms and storage. Further, we believe that any improvements made upon the Town lots on
the opposite .side of the street must comply with applicable setbacks for the Zoning dislaot
Please advise, if the Town iaf=ds to pumas its viens as discussed with tagj& ris roadas

RECEIVgp
FEB 1 R 1999
Robert W. Kilray, P.C,
In response to your letter of February 5,1999, concerning proposed improvements to Town
Property located in the 2100 block of North Shore Drive, I offer the following comments:
The Town of Surf City has applied for and received a state grant to develop property that it owns
into a neighborhood beach access. A public hearing was held last summer with no opposition
present
Upon award of the grant, the Town of Surf City applied for a minor permit from the Coastal
Resources Commission to develop the oceans Font property. Notice requirements were sent to
adjacent properties.. Last Month, I had a meeting, at the site, `with most of the property owners and
state officials. This past week, the Town of Surf City was granted the minor permit.
It is the opinion of the Town of Surf City that North Shore Drive ends, as a public street, at the
Surf City/North Topsail Beach town limits. From research that I have conducted, the State of
North Carolina abandoned this street. Throughout its city limits, the Town of Surf City has
accepted responsibility for the maintenance of North Shore Drive. North Shore Drive is listed as a
Town sneer on Powell Bill maps that are submitted eabh year to the State of North Carolina. In
recent years, the leown,of Sux£Citylias expended a large amount vipleney in, cleaning, clearing,.
and' xe conatraating portions ofiToxtH Shore Drive in'that azea. In Nort)x Topsail �eacb, the Town
does not claim North Shore Drive to be'a public strcct. ' The State of North Carolina abandoned the
road prior to the incorporation o£the Town o£North Topsail Beach. My research indicates that
the property owners that surrounded this dedicated street closed it for public use many years ago.
First, Mr. Williamson closed access on this street from the north. Since about 1992, the "
Proprietors 0£the Scotch $onnett Fis}iing Pier pieced a cable across this stree¢.tp;preents°fie:

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone] Feb 26 '99 11:29 P.11
The intention of Town sleff is to close only 20 feet of North Shore Drive from the North Topsail
Beach town limits (where the mad currently dead ends) going south. It is the Town of Surf City's
opinion that the closing of thus• small portion o£thc public street will dedicate half of the current
right-of-way to the Town of Surf City (as a contiguous property owner) and the other half of the
right-of-way will dedicate to Mr. Williamson (the other contiguous property owner). This small
closing is necessitated by CAMA setback requirements for a small public bathr00rr All other
proposed structural improvements are on property that is owned by the Town of Surf City.
The Town Of Surf City will obviously Comply with all laws regarding closure of public streets.
This Process has been delayed by waiting for the issuance of the minor CAM&permit, p,nsuent
to discussions with Town allDMey Crary Trawick, I suspect the beginning ofthe notice
requirements for closure of this small portion of North Shore Drive to occur shortly.
The owners of properties 2, 3, 4, S, and 6 as described in your letter will not lose access to their
properties because only the final 20 feet of this dead end street is proposed to be closed. The
property owner of #6 actually gains the potential of additional parking for his apartment complex.
In my meeting whhproperty owners at the site, I tried to alleviate concerns about increased tra8ic
by pointing out that the proposed Town improvements will allow motorists to be able to tom_
around at the proposed beach access (currently, most vehicles have to turn around in Mr.
Williamson's.parking area for his spattments.: A, curfew wooden crossover at the end of 91 i street
and North Shore Dries currently creates situations where insensitive motorists park on the street
right-of-way from 9 street down to Mr. 'Williamson's apartments. I shared my thoughts with
property owners that a developed area for parking (and beach access through a handicap ramp
system ) at the end Of North Shore Drive may encourage more orderly parking. Additionally, I
Offered property owners 1-5 that I would meet with them to establish reasonable driveway
accesses to their prgpertj. from North Shore Drive. I offered to post sigm9a on each, side of the
agreed upon accesses that prohibited parking in those driveway accesses with police enforcement.
T bravo tried to -be sensitive to their cencems of increased traffic -and park mg.problem& I feel
strongly that the proposed improvements will help establish more orderly use of the beach and
street rigbtaof-way in drat area,
If the effort to'close the last 20 feet of North Shore Drive is true
Will still proceed with the other co is ofthe m'ect (parking thhan the Town of Surf City
However. instead of providing man' p hl; eV ramp access, etc.).
i? ding permanent restxoom facilities, the Town of Surf City will be forced
to provide temporary facilities (which can be placed within the current CAMA setback) such as
Porta-Jons. I hope, for appearance sake, that temporary restroom facilities are not necessary.

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone]
Feb 26 '99 11:30 P.12
Through its Land -Use plan and other strategic planning efforts, the Town of Surf City is
encouraged to provide access to the beach for citizens and visitors. I respect everyone's right to say that
they do not wad these things 6� my fmatyard n The challenge for any government entity is to respect
the rights of those who oppose public improvements while not denying the rvices that public
demands Or desires. The beach access will be one of only two accesses that are accessible to the
handicapped, Public laws and ethical considerations demand that this access be given. The Town of Surf
City is forumete to have had theft oceaufront lots donated for public use. The Town of Surf City has
gone through and Will continue to 90 through every legal effort to com
ply with laws and repWdotis.
Your letter indicated that your office now tepresegds a number of the lot owners. Given this
situation, I Seel compelled to have any further toward Town Attonicy c}aiy Trawick. correspondence or discussions on this subject directed
I will make myself available for any meetings or discussions that
Mr_ Trawick advises me to attend. I hope this correspondence bag shed some light on the situation for
you, and hopefully, it has corrected any »UgConception that the intent of the Town of Surf City was to
close North Shore Drive from 9'ti Street north to the North Topsail Beach Town limits (whieh would
effectively cause access ptnblems for some or all of your clients). Thank you for your consideration in
this matter.
Sincerely,
Andy Hedrick
Town Manager

Dear Andy:
PIIBLIC BEACH AND
COASTAL
WATERFRONT
ACCESS PROGRAM
Thanks for meeting with me today and giving an update on the Ninth Street access project. I think the
following addresses the two access questions we raised, and one other besides.
The appeal period after the issuance of a CAMA permit is 20 days from the date of issuance. To the best
of my knowledge, this permit has not yet been issued.
The contract expires on September 30, 1999. All invoices for the project (labor and materials) must be
dated prior to September 30. The final inspection and close-out package submittal occur before the end
of October, 1999. Request for a contract extension should be submitted to me by mid -August for
consideration.
The contract between DENR and Surf City includes the following project description:
Construction of restrooms and crossover to the beach, and gravel parking for 20-25 cars on
unimproved oceanfront property belonging to the Town; constructed in accordance with ADA, NC
Building Code and CAMA requirements.
These specifications were taken from the project description in the final grant application. Unless I am
mistaken, the actual number of parking spaces may now be reduced. Since the project is a neighborhood
access, it will not be compromised by offering less parking. Let me know if we need to amend the
contract to reflect less than 20 parking spaces. Of course, we encourage the town to meet the contract
condition if at all possible, thereby making an amendment unnecessary.
Please call if you have any additional questions.

This letter is written in reference to your objections about the proposed project described
above. The proposed development planned by the Town of Surf City meets the conditions
for development set forth in the CAMA regulations. Therefore the Division of Coastal
Management will likely issue a Minor CAMA Development Permit for the proposed activity.
Enclosed is a copy of a revised plan for the development. Please review this revised plan
as soon as possible and fax additional comments to me at 910 350-2004. If you do not
have fax capability, please forward comments by mail immediately.
If you should wish to appeal the permit decision, you have that right. The necessary forms
are enclosed and I will notify you when the permit is issued. The appeal must be filed with
the Attorney General's Office within 20 days of notification of permit issuance.
I will be glad to discuss the specifics of your objections to this project should you wish to
call me at 910 395-3900. Mondays and Fridays are good days to reach me in the office.

DIVISIor,i OF
COASTAL MA14AGEMENT
I strongly object to the Town of Surf City proposal to construct a public bathroom on the property
adjacent to mine as presented in your letter of October 9, 1998.
I own the vacant lot at 2022 North Shore Drive which is located next to the proposed bathroom. The
home that previously occupied that lot was destroyed by Hurricane Fran in September 1996. I have been
verbally advised on numerous occasions that the Town of Surf City will not issue a permit to rebuild
because the lot is not deep enough to meet established set back requirements. For all practical purposes, I
am denied the use of my property.
From the diagram attached to the letter, it appears that you intend to condemn North Shore Drive 7'6"
from city limits to enable the public bathroom to meet set back requirements. It also appears that you
intend to construct a retaining structure in attempt to limit further beach erosion in front of the property. I
note the it terminates at the edge of my property. As we know, a retaining structure of this nature has the
tendency to invite erosion to adjoining properties. Therefore, it can only be assumed that my property will
be further eroded as a result.
I believe that the same standards that apply to citizens desiring to rebuild should apply to the City of Surf
City. I believe that equal variances should also be granted to citizens of Surf City when requested. The
proposed development shows a total lack of concern for those who have lost their homes where the
remaining property no longer meets set back requirements. It is logical for me to assume that if your
property is developed, my lot will be further deteriorated by those trespassing on mine as yours becomes
full of bathers. My lot does not need its very fragile condition to be further degraded by your proposed
actions.
I request that a copy of this letter be attached to your request for a CAMA Permit when forwarded. I also
request copies of all your correspondence on this [natter.
If need be, I will take whatever actions to prevent your proposed development.

T. W. Kaugher,

Dear Andy & Steve:

NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF
ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
Your application for the proposed public beach access, bathroom and parking at the above
-referenced address is currently being processed. The Division has received two written
letters of concern and one telephone call expressing objection to the project. The majority
of the objections seem to involve lack of adequate parking. The proposed plans are vague
where parking is concerned. It would be beneficial to know the size and number and
orientation of the proposed parking spaces. Also, we need to be sure that individuals can
pull into, out of, and turn around without trespassing onto private properties surrounding
the beach access area.
I am therefore placing your application on hold until a revised plan is submitted giving
more detail about the proposed parking. Steve and I have discussed this over the
telephone on this date. Please feel free to call me should you have questions.

P.O. Box 2475

Dear Mr. Padgett,
I strongly object to the Town of Surf City proposal to construct a public bathroom on the property
adjacent to mine as presented in your letter of October 9, 1998.
I do own the vacant lot at 2022 North Shore Drive which is located next to the proposed bathroom. The
home that previously occupied that lot was destroyed by Hurricane Fran in September 1996. I have been
verbally advised on numerous occasions that the Town Of Surf City will not issue me a permit to rebuild
because the lot is not deep enough to meet established set back requirements. For all practical purposed, I
am denied the use of my property.
From your diagram attached to the letter of October 9, it appears that you intend to condemn North Shore
Drive 7'6" from city limits to enable the public bathroom to meet set back requirements. It also appears
that you intend to construct a retaining structure in attempt to limit further beach erosion in front of the
property to be developed. I note the it terminates at the edge of my property. As we know, a retaining
structure of this nature has the tendency to invite erosion to adjoining properties. Therefore, it can only be
assumed that my property will be further eroded as a result.
I believe that the same standards that apply to citizens desiring to rebuild should apply to the City Of Surf
City. I believe that equal variance should also be granted the Citizens of Surf City when requested. The
proposed development shows a total lack of concern for those who have lost their homes where the
remaining property no longer meets set back requirements required. It is highly logical for me to assume
that if your property is developed, my lot will be further deteriorated by those trespassing on mine as yours
becomes full of bathers. My lot does not need its very fragile condition to be further degraded by your
proposed actions.
I request that a copy of this letter be attached to your request for a CAMA Permit when forwarded. I also
request copies of all your correspondence on this matter.
If need be, I will take whatever legal action to preclude your proposed development.
Sincerely,
T. W. Kau Jr.

Dear Sir:

Di jib: i V OF
COASTAL MAIgAGEMENT
I have received a letter notifying Scotch Bonnet Property Owners of your intentions to build a beach
access and comfort station on property adjacent to the Scotch Bonnet property.
The facility is badly needed, and I commend you for your efforts.
However, I have reservations about the limited amount of parking space that has been designated in the
sketch that was enclosed in your letter. Since the Scotch Bonnet has been cleared, after Fran, there has
been a problem with unauthorized use of the property for parking, dune crossover, and other uses. As
you probably know, we have blocked entrances, posted the area, and taken other steps to secure the
property. These measures have had limited success.
Our concerns are that a beach facility next to our property will open our property again to all the
problems mentioned above. The fact that we are just inside the jurisdiction of North Topsail Beach
makes it more difficult to deal with these problems when they arise, and I foresee a political problem
when we seek redress.
The problems I have mentioned must be addressed before we can sign off on the beach access. While
total separation of Scotch Bonnet property from the beach access is impossible, we think some crowd
control could be done with fencing in areas along the property line and appropriate signs limiting access
in these areas.

AEC HAZARD NOTICE
Project Is In An: x Ocean Erodible Area _ High Hazard Flood Area Inlet Hazard Area
Date Lot Was Platted:
This notice is intended to make you, the applicant, aware
of the special risks and conditions associated with
development in this area, which is subject to natural
hazards such as storms, erosion and currents. The rules of
the Coastal Resources Commission require that you
receive an AEC Hazard Notice and acknowledge that
notice in writing before a permit for development can be
issued.
The Commission's rules onbuildingstandards, oceanfront
setbacks and dune alteration are designed to minimize,but
not eliminate, property loss from hazards. By granting
permits, the Coastal Resources Commission does not
guarantee the safety of the development and assumes no
liability for future damage to the development.
The best available information, as accepted by the Coastal
Resources Commission, indicates that the annual ocean
erosion rate for the area where your property is located is
2 feet per year.
The rate was established by careful analysis of aerial
photographs of the coastline taken over the past 50 years.
Studies also indicate that the shoreline could move as
much as 255 feet landward in a major storm.
The flood waters in a major storm are predicted to be about
1!ket deep in this area.
Preferred oceanfront protection measures are beach
nourishment and relocation of threatened structures.
Hard erosion control structures such as bulkheads,
seawalls, revetments, groins, jetties and breakwaters are
prohibited. Temporary devices, including sand bags, may
be allowed under certain conditions.
This structure shall be relocated or dismantled within two
years of becoming imminently threatened.
The applicant must acknowledge this information and
requirements by signing this notice in the below space.
Without the proper signature, the application will not be
complete.

SPECIAL NOTE: This hazard notice is required for
development in areas subject to sudden and massive
storms and erosion. Permits issued for development in this
area expire on December 31 of the third year following the
year in which the permit was issued. Shortly before work
begins on the project site, the Local Permit Officer will
determine the vegetation line and setback distance at your
site. If the property has seen little change and theproposed
development can still meet the setback requirement, the
LPO will inform you that you may begin work. It is impor-
tant that you check with the LPO before the permit expires
for official approval to continue the work after the permit
has expired. Generally, if foundation pilings have been
placed and substantial progress is continuing, permit
renewal may not be necessary. If substantial progress has
not been made, the permit must be renewed and a new
setback line established. It is unlawful to continue work
after permit expiration without this approval.

BEFORE YOU'BUILD
Setting Back for Safety: A Guide to Wise Development Along the Oceanfront
When you build along the oceanfront you take a calculated
risk. Natural forces of water and wind collide with tons of
force, even on calm days.
Man-made structures cannot be guaranteed to survive the
force of a hurricane. Long-term erosion (or barrier island
migration) may take from two to ten feet of the beach each
year and, sooner or later, will threaten oceanfront struc-
tures. These are the facts of life for oceanfront property
owners.
The Coastal Resources Commission (CRC) has adopted
rules for building along the oceanfront. The rules are in-
tended to avoid an unreasonable risk to life and property
and to limit public and private losses from storms and
long-term erosion. These rules lessen but do not eliminate
the element of risk in oceanfront development.
As you consider building along the oceanfront, the CRC
Ere
you to understand the rules and the risks. With this
knowledge you can make a more informed decision about
where and how to build in the coastal area.
The Rules
When you build along the oceanfront, coastal manage-
ment rules require that the structure be sited to fit safely
into the beach environment.
Structures along the oceanfront must be behind the frontal
dune, landward of the crest of the primary dune and set
back from the first line of natural stable vegetation a dis-
tance equal to 30 times the annual erosion rate (a minimum
of 60 feet). Large structures (multi -family residential struc-
tures greater than 5,000 square feet and non-residential
structures greater than 5,000 square feet) must be set back
from the first line of natural stable vegetation a distance
equal to 60 times the annual erosion rate or 120 feet,

whichever is greater. If the erosion rate is greater than 3.5
feet/year, the setback is 30 times the erosion rate plus 105
feet.
The Reasons
The beachfront is an ever -changing landform. The beach
and the dunes are natural "shock absorbers", taking the
beatings of the winds and waves and protecting the inland
areas. By setting back 30 or 60 times the annual long-term
erosion rate; you have a good chance of enjoying the full
life of the structure. At first, it seems very inviting to build
your dream house as close to the beach as possible, but in
five years you could find the dream has become a
nightmare as high tides and storm tides threaten your
investment.
The Exception
The Coastal Resources Commission recognized that these
rules, initially passed in June of 1979, might prove a
hardship for some property owners. Therefore, they estab-
lished an exception for lots which cannot meet the setback
requirement. The exception allows buildings in front of the
setback line if the following conditions apply:
(1) the lot must have been platted as of June 1, 1979, and
not capable of being enlarged by combining with adjoining
land under the same ownership, (2) development must be
as far back on the property as possible and in no case less
than 60 feet landward of the vegetation line, (3) no
development can take place on the frontal dune (4) special
construction standards on piling depth and squarefootage
must be met and (5) all other CAMA, state and local
regulations must be met.
The exception is not available in the Inlet Hazard Area.
To determine eligibility for the exception, the Local Permit
Officer will make these measurements and observations:
required setback from vegetation line
exception setback (maximum feasible)
rear property line setback
max. allowable square footage on lowest floor
lot area as calculated from vegetation line
piling length needed to extend 4 feet below MSL
PRE -PERMIT STRUCTURE; INADEQUATE SETBACK
PRE -STORM BEACH PROFILE
_� POST -STORM BEACH PROFILE
ONE YEAR AFTER STORM/BEACH REBUILDING
After the storm, the house on the dune will be gone. The other house has a much better chance of survival.

n oQ APPLICATION FOR
CAMA
;D MINOR
Tyr v r LOPMENT
PERMIT
In 1974, the North Carolina General Assembly passed
the Coastal Area Management Act and set the stage for
guiding development in the fragile and productive areas
which border the state's sounds and oceanfront. Along
with requiring special care by those who build and
develop, the General Assembly directed the Coastal
Resources Commission (CRC) to implement clear regula-
tions which minimize the burden on the applicant.
This application for a minor development permit under
CAMA is part of the Commission's effort to meet the
spirit and intent of the General Assembly. It has been
designed to be straightforward and require no more
time or effort necessary from the applicant. Please go
over this folder with the Local Permit Officer (LPO) for
the locality in which you plan to build to be certain that
you understand what information he or she needs.
Under CAMA regulations, the minor permit is to be
issued within 25 days once a complete application is in
hand. Often less time is needed if the project is simple.
The process generally takes about 18 days. You can
speed the approval process by making certain that your
application is complete and signed, that your drawing
meets the specifications given inside and that your
application fee is attached.
Other permits are sometimes required for development
in the coastal area. While these are not CAMA-related,
we urge you to check with the Local Permit Officer to
determine which of these you may need. A listing is
included on page 2 of this folder.
We appreciate your cooperation with the North
Carolina Coastal Management Program and your
willingness to build in a way which protects the
resources of our beautiful and productive coast.

10. Beach and Estuarine Water Access
Policy
The Town's policy was developed in the 1990 Public Shoreline Access
Plan and is reflected below.
a. It is the general policy of the Town of Surf City to: provide,
ensure, protect, and maintain optimum public access to its
ocean and estuarine shorelines, consistent with the right of
access to public trust lands and waters, the need to protect and
preserve the island's natural resources, and the protected rights
of private property owners.
b. To protect, preserve, and enhance for future generations the
quality and integrity of the island; its ocean, dunes, and
beaches, the maritime forests, and the estuarine waters and
marshes, and all fisheries and wildlife habitats of the
ecosystem.
C. To develop, improve, and maintain its system of public
shoreline accessways, using this plan as a guide to accessway
location, present status, and community need information.
d. To regularly assess the needs of public access facilities, seeking
public input to insure that the community's needs and desires
are known and to plan for meeting those needs. It is the policy
of the Town of Surf City to: seek the opinions and comments of
the community in the continuing public access program, and to
inform them of the status of the existing facilities, improvement
plans, and policy implementation on a regular basis.
58

e. To justify to the community the development or improvement,
location, design, and continuing maintenance of accessways as
described in the North Carolina Coastal Area Management Act
and reflected in the location, site, use standards, and
recommendations adopted through this shoreline access plan.
f. To assure that all residents and property owners who will be
affected by a proposed development or improvement of
shoreline access be notified of the proposed action in advance,
thereby allowing time for public comment.

F. Other Local Policy Documents
Included for review are two documents that reflect the work of a strategic planning
subcommittee that was established to study beach access issues (in addition to other
things). The first document is a recommendation (approved by the Town Council) to
approve the construction of a beach access that is requested in this project. The second
document is the entire subcommittee recommendation on all subjects, which includes
beach access. At a Town Council retreat in late March, the Town Council accepted all of
the recommendations concerning beach access for inclusion in a Strategic Planning
Document. This document has not been prepared for publication by the deadline of this
application.
Whereas the Land Use plan makes general statements in support of acquiring and
developing additional beach accesses, the work of this strategic planning subcommittee
was the impetus for the development of this specific project.

Recommendation
January 30, 1998
To: Surf City Town Council
From: Beaches and Tourism Strategic Planning Committee
One of the tasks of the Beaches and Tourism Strategic Planning Committee is to assess the
Town's current beach access capabilities and make recommendations for possible improvements. A
full report on the committee's findings will be forwarded to the Town Council for their consideration at
the March retreat. However, given potential outside funding sources and the need to apply for that
funding be certain dates, the committee forwards this recommendation for the Town Council's
consideration at this time.
issue
Oceanfront lots have been donated to the Town of Surf City that are located on North Shore
Drive from 91h Street to the North Topsail Beach town limits. As a piece of the overall beach access
plan, the committee has determined that a "neighborhood" type access area that includes bathroom
facilities, a cross -over, and adjacent parking would be the best use of that donated property. The
preliminary cost estimates to develop such a "neighborhood" access range from $50,000 to $55,000.
The State of North Carolina sponsors a beach access financial assistance program through the
Coastal Resources Commission. Their program provides up to 75% funding by the state with the local
share potentially consisting of a combination of cash and in -kind labor. The preliminary applications are
due in April with final applications due by July. Grant awards are made in September.
Recommendation
Given the amount of time and work that will be necessary for the Town Council to absorb all of
the different committee recommendations, the Beaches and Tourism Strategic Planning Committee did
not want to chance the idea that the entire recommended beach access plan may not be approved and
incorporated into a Strategic Plan by the April preliminary application deadline. The Town's ability to
implement a neighborhood beach access into this area of town will be greatly enhanced by receiving
state grant funds for its development.
Additionally, the work on this access area could be phased, so that some benefit of these donated
lots can be gained this tourist season. Components such as parking spaces could be constructed for use
this summer, with the labor and expense being shown as the Town's local share in the grant application.
Development of major capital facilities such as the bathrooms could be implemented this fall with the
grant funds.

The committee unanimously recommends that the Town Council commit to the development of a
neighborhood beach access on these donated lots and authorizes the Town Manager to seek available
outside funding within the timelines mandated by those outside funding sources.

March 10,1998
The Beaches, Recreation, and Tourism Subcommittee of the Town of Surf City's
Strategic Planning Initiative studied various topics in order to present recommendations
to the Town Council. The topics included, but were not limited to, the following:
Beach Access Planning
Dune and Beach Restoration
Parking Regulations
Tourism Promotion
Non -Beach Recreation Facilities
Thoroughfare Planning which includes a definition of the "downtown" area
with the coordination of vehicular traffic, bicycle traffic (bikeways), and
pedestrian traffic (sidewalks).
am,
ViNORM
The subcommittee considered several elements in the formation of
recommendations related to beach access. Traffic flow (reduction of congestion and
increase in efficiency) was a major consideration for the public beach access areas
located on Shore Drive between Highway 50 (the S-curve) and Dolphin Street. The
number of available off-street parking spaces was another consideration. A third
consideration was the location of off-street parking areas. The challenge was to blend
these factors into a cohesive plan which considered the interests of permanent residents,
weekly or daily visitors which rent accommodations in Surf City, and individuals who
visit for several hours and return home outside of Surf City (day-trippers).
Currently, the only beach access areas which offer public parking are located on
Shore Drive between Charlotte Avenue and just north of Wilmington Avenue.
Additionally, a large amount of commercial development in the form of motels,
restaurants, retail stores, public pier fishing, real estate sales offices, and a bank exist in

this area. Seasonal traffic which tries to access the public parking for beach access
competes with traffic trying to access these commercial establishments. It appears that
the intersection of Roland Avenue and Shore Drive becomes a hub of traffic with traffic
traveling in four directions to enter the commercial area, find beach access parking, and
exiting from these areas when the visiting is over. Directing the flow of traffic away
from this busy intersection should lead to less congestion, should improve safety, and
should make better use of available public parking.
A 1995 report to the Town of Surf City from North Carolina Department of
Transportation recommended that Roland Avenue, east of Topsail Drive, be changed to
one-way traffic. The subcommittee recommends an extension of one-way designation to
Shore Drive. South Shore Drive would have one-way traffic in a southerly direction
while North Shore Drive would have one-way traffic in a northerly direction. The
subcommittee recommends that the designation of one-way traffic on Shore Drive be
phased in order to test the effects of the change. Phase One of implementation would be
for Roland Avenue to be designated as one-way in a easterly direction from Topsail
Drive to Shore Drive. Northern and southern implementation of one-way traffic on
Shore Drive would begin at Roland Avenue and extend to Wilmington Avenue and
Charlotte Avenue respectively. Future extension of one-way status on Shore Drive to
Dolphin Street and the Highway 50 (S-curve) would occur if the pilot area is successful.
A side benefit of this designation of one-way traffic would be the opportunity to create a
bike/walking lane on the present pavement of Shore Drive. In the proposed Phase One
area, many residents and visitors staying at local motels would have the opportunity to
access a bike/walking lane to visit "downtown" area businesses and beach crossovers
(as previously recommended by the Recreation Commission and.Town Councils).
The subcommittee identified the need for additional public parking spaces. A
review of the current situation determined that 100 +/- parking spaces currently exist.
The subcommittee recommends that a goal of no less than 200 parking spaces be set and
obtained by Januaryl, 2000, or as soon as possible. Some avenues that the Town should
explore include soliciting the donation of property for parking, entering into lease
agreements for adjacent parking on off -beach lots, and maximizing the use of existing
Town right-of-way for parking.
An additional factor in beach access planning was the location of beachfront off-
street parking. The subcommittee recommends that beachfront parking south of the S-
curve on Highway 50 not be developed. The subcommittee recommends the
development of beachfront off-street parking in other areas besides the Shore Drive area
between Dolphin Street and Highway 50 (the S-curve). Utilizing two of the three

recommended methods above, the subcommittee identified two additional areas for
beachfront off-street parking. One location was in the vicinity of Broadway Avenue and
North Shore Drive. A 100 foot right-of-way exists on Broadway Avenue between
Highway 210 and Shore Drive. A 25 car parking area can be created in this area with
easy access to the crossover located at Broadway Avenue and Shore Drive. Additional
possibilities exist to lease/purchase an adjacent lot on North Shore Drive for more
parking or future amenities.
A second recommendation for additional off-street beachfront parking is the
utilization of oceanfront lots located on North Shore Drive, north of 9th Street, for a
neighborhood beach access. This recommendation was forwarded to the Town Council
for consideration in February. State funds will be requested to develop a cross -over,
restroom facilities, and parking (all handicapped accessible). At a minimum, additional
parking spaces should be available for the summer in 1998.
Implementation of these recommendations for off-street beachfront parking should
accomplish two goals. One accomplishment would be the addition of about 50 parking
spaces. The other accomplishment would be to offer visitors the opportunity for beach
access parking away from the congested "downtown" area.
Town staff should continue to develop dune crossovers when donated access is
given to the Town. Town staff should budget for the construction of a dune crossover on
property given to the Town by developers of the Windward Kay subdivision in fiscal
1998-1999. Town staff should explore the possibility of development of a dune
crossover in the North Shore Drive and Dolphin Street area.
The arrival of Hurricanes Bertha and Fran in 1996 put the Town of Surf City in a
business that it had heretofore shied away from. That business was dune restoration.
Previously, it was the duty of oceanfront property owners to protect their properties
(and others') by contracting for beachbulldozing and planting vegetation. With the
hurricanes destroying many oceanfront homes, leveling the dunes in many places, and
threatening to make Highway 50 a part of the Atlantic Ocean, it became necessary for
the Town of Surf City, under emergency conditions, to accept the role of coordinator and
implementor in trying to restore a protective sand structure on the oceanfront. In
addition to storm recovery activities, the Town has undertaken an active role in 1997 and
1998 to pay for or secure funding for a city limit to city limit beachbulldozing effort and
vegetation and sandfence project. Costs for these activities will exceed $115,000. To put

that monetary figure into perspective, the entire budgeted revenue for accommodation
tax receipts is $90,000 (FY 97-98).
For strategic planning purposes, the question is "should the Town of Surf City
plan to do dune restoration projects of this magnitude on a regular basis T' The
subcommittee feels positively that efforts of this nature provide a public benefit to all
citizens of Surf City by providing protection from minor storm activity. However, it is
unlikely that state/federal funding will be available on a regular basis to assist with these
efforts. The subcommittee makes the following recommendations on the issue of dune
restoration:
Maintain CAMA permit to perform beachbulldozing activities on an "active" basis
Restrict fund balance in the General Fund to provide funding to perform
"emergency" dune restoration activities in the event of storm damage
Appoint a task force of citizens to study on -going dune restoration activities.
Public hearings should be conducted on the subject with discussion of
funding. Exploration of a beach renourishment project should be studied.
The current status of beach renourishment projects is hazy, at best. Only one new
beach renourishment project is recommended in the Federal FY99 federal budget. Even
with the current formulas of 65% Federal participation and a maximum of 25% State
participation, the local share for Surf City to perform a significant beach renourishment
project along 6.2 miles of coastline would exceed 1.5 million dollars. The subcommittee
recommends that the task force on dune restoration gather additional information on
beach renourishment and report back to the Town Council.
For the majority of the year, parking on Town and State rights -of -way does not
present appreciable problems. Seasonal activities that bring visitors to the beach and/or
the local fishing pier create congestion. Excessive litter is created when visitors either
transport food to the beach or eat out of their cars on breaks from fishing. As the number
of visitors to the beach increase, coupled with the reduction in fishing piers in the area,
parking on rights -of -way is having undesirable side effects on traffic safety, pedestrian
traffic, and appearance. The subcommittee recommends that measures be taken to
restrict parking on Shore Drive during certain times of the year.

From the period of time from May 15th to November 30th, no parking should be
permitted on the right-of-way of Shore Drive from Charlotte Avenue to Wilmington
Avenue. The no parking restriction should be created by local ordinance with a
graduated fine structure. If ticketed for parking on the right-of-way, the fine would be
$20 if paid within 72 hours. If paid between 72 hours and 10 days, the fine would be
$30. If not paid within 10 days, the fine would be $50. The subcommittee recommends
that no parking be posted and enforced year-round on Highway 50, south of the S-curve
to the Topsail Beach town limit line.
In order to enforce responsible use of the two most popular beachfront parking
areas (Central beach access at Roland Avenue and the vehicular beach access at Kinston
Avenue), the subcommittee recommends that those beach access areas be regulated with
paid parking requirements. The subcommittee envisions a system used at Carolina
Beach where patrons pay for parking by inserting money into a secured box that is
assigned to their parking space. Enforcement is easily handled by checking the secured
box. No money in the box means you get a ticket, similar to the fine described above.
Details about the parking amount and length of time would be decided by Town Council.
Paid parking at these two accesses would encourage use of other accesses in Town and
lessen congestion in this area.
,_ ' .... .
The subcommittee received a presentation from Jeanne Nociti, Director of the
Greater Topsail Area Chamber of Commerce and Tourism. The subcommittee voted to
go on record as acknowledging the work of the Chamber as a positive force in the
promotion of Topsail Island and advocating continued support for its efforts from the
Town of Surf City. The subcommittee discussed, at length, the need for promotional
efforts that focused on Surf City, rather than just Topsail Island. While Ms. Nociti
offered the Chamber as a vehicle for this emphasis, discussion centered on a separate
group which might not be in conflict with the Chamber's mission of promotion of the
entire Topsail Island area (which includes Snead's Ferry & Holly Ridge). After much
discussion, over two separate meetings, the subcommittee voted unanimously (with one
abstention) to recommend that the Town Council appoint a committee to develop
recommendations on the promotion of Surf City to potential visitors and guests and
report their findings to the Town Council. In addition, the subcommittee recommends
that the Town Council appoint a member of this strategic planning subcommittee to that
effort in order to be able to share the many ideas that were thoroughly discussed.

Non -Beach Recreation Facilities
The development of non -beach recreation facilities such as parks, tennis courts,
walking areas, picnicking areas, ballfields, water -based facilities which may include boat
ramps, and playgrounds enhances the quality of life for permanent residents, part-time
residents, and visitors. Given the tremendous expense of developing and maintaining
public non -beach recreation facilities, proper planning and public support are two
essential ingredients. The development of a Town of Surf City Master Plan for
Recreation Facilities provides the planning effort to explore all possibilities and solicit
public input into the development process. Master plans are becoming a necessary pre-
requisite for any state/federal funding. The subcommittee recommends that the Town
Council appoint a Recreation Advisory Committee and charge this group with the
development of a Master Plan by January 1, 1999. The State of North Carolina has
employees that can assist the Town Manager and the Recreation Advisory Committee in
the development of this plan. Any opportunities for recreation development that may
appear in the planning process can still be acted upon quickly if the need arises.
Thoroughfare Planning
Coupled with the effort to develop recreation facilities for residents and visitors,
a study of how vehicles and people get from one place to another is critical to the
location of public and private areas where people gather. In many communities, the area
where many people gather or are destined to gather is the "downtown" area. Defining
the downtown area helps planning efforts for the location of parking and pedestrian
means of travel (walkways). The subcommittee recommends that the downtown area of
Surf City be defined as the area on the island designated as C-1, in addition to a small
area of C-2 designation that extends south on Highway 50 from High Point Avenue to
Durham Avenue. With this area defined, planning efforts can begin to establish
desirable traffic flows for vehicles and pedestrians.
The subcommittee recommends that the Town Council authorize the Town
Manager to work with the North Carolina Department of Transportation to develop a
thoroughfare plan for Surf City. This study would use the downtown area as a hub and
recommend parking, biking, and pedestrian walkways that will enhance the safe flow of
vehicles and people throughout Surf City. The subcommittee recommends that the study
take into account the desire to establish some soundfront public gathering areas and
development of the best method for visitors to access them. Once bikeways and
walkways are determined for the downtown area, a distribution network throughout
other areas of town can be developed. The target date for completion of this study
should by January 1, 1999.

H. Local Governing Board
The Town Council of Surf City approved the recommendation of a public
strategic planning committee to apply for CAMA grant funds for this neighborhood
access project at a regular public meeting of the Town Council on February 3, 1998
(minutes attached). However, to comply with the spirit of the CAMA final grant
application, the Town Council has agreed to have an official public hearing on the
development of the project at its regularly scheduled meeting on July 7, 1998.
Neighbors and area businesses have expressed private support for the project.
It is anticipated that strong public support for this project will be forthcoming at the
public hearing.

Regular Council Meeting
February 3, 1998

Beach & Tourism Strategic Planning Committee Recommendation
The Beach and Tourism subcommittee have been working on a total beach access project for the town. Manager
Hedrick requested Council approval for town staff to apply for CAMA grant funds for the six lots north of the 9th Street
beach access. Proposed improvements include rest rooms, parking spaces (a neighborhood access with 15 to 20
spaces), and a crossover close to the rest rooms. One third of the property cannot be used for any of the proposed uses.
A rough cost estimate is $50,000; CAMA allows applications up to $75,000. Motion by Council Member Albury,
seconded by Council Member Medlin to apply for grant funds. Council Member Thomas expressed concern over cutting
away some of the dune to provide for the facilities. Manager Hedrick related that the committee proposed a three to four
feet high bulkhead on the street side of the dune to create an area for a bathhouse and parking. Council Member Albury
suggested closing N. Shore Drive from 9th Street to the end of Surf City's town limits; this would not be possible since
closing the street would deny property owners access to their lots. Council Member Thomas favored parallel parking,
but not rest rooms or parking other than parallel. The motion carried by a 3 to 1 vote with Council Members Albury,
The -nee Medlin and Blizzard voting aye, Council Member Thomas, no.
FY 1997-98 Budget Amendment & Solicitation of Bids -Sand Fence & Vegetation Project
Surf City qualified for $56,560 state assistance for sand fence and vegetation. No money was allocated for labor; prison
labor will be used to accomplish the project. Motion by Council Member Thomas, seconded by Council Member Medlin,
and unanimously carried to adopt the budget amendment attached to these minutes and incorporated herein by
reference and to solicit sealed bids for sand fence and beach grass.
Large Item Pick -Up
Manager Hedrick recommended a large item pick-up like in previous years to exclude yard waste and building materials.
He suggested that the event be scheduled for the week immediately following Easter. Motion by Council Member Medlin,
seconded by Council Member Albury, and unanimously carried to schedule a large item trash pick-up as recommended
by the town manager. Notice of the pick-up will be placed on utility bills.
Planning Retreat
Motion by Council Member Albury, seconded by Council Member Blizzard, and unanimously carried to hold the March
planning retreat for Tuesday and Wednesday, March 24 and 25, 1998.
Fender County Municipal Association Chairman & Representative
Motion by Council Member Albury to appoint Mayor Kee to chair the Fender County Municipal Association during the
current year. The motion was seconded by Council Member Blizzard and unanimously carried. Council Member Albury
volunteered to serve as Surf City's representative; motion by Council Member Medlin, seconded by Council Member
Blizzard, and unanimously carried to appoint Council Member Albury as Surf City's representative to the Pander County
Municipal Association during the current year. The annual meeting of the Association will be held 2/27/98, 7 pm, at St.
Helena Town Hall.
Central Beach Access Rest Rooms
Motion by Council Member Medlin, seconded by Council Member Thomas to get a cost on building rest rooms at the
central beach access, and to schedule a special meeting on February 12 at 5 pm to discuss the rest rooms and award
contracts for sand fence and vegetation. The motion unanimously carried.
Treasure Coast Landing Site Plan
At Council Member Medlin's request, he was excused from discussion and voting on this agenda item by motion of
Council Member Thomas, seconded by Council Member Blizzard, and unanimously carried; Council Member Medlin has
no monetary interest, but he prefers to be excluded from participation in any action concerning topic. Charles Riggs and
James Lewis with Chades Riggs and Associates. Inc. were present to answer questions concerning Dan Medlin's site
plan. The lift station designed to handle sewer for the seven units proposed is a single pump with an alarm; if the event
of future development of the site, a duplex system will be required. Maintenance of the lift station will always be with the
owner. Allotted parking spaces are for retail units only. Council agreed last May to provide water and sewer service to
the site, at the property owner's expense. Motion by Council Member Thomas that this sheet two (2) of the submitted
site plan (attached to these minutes and incorporated herein by reference) be approved with water and sewer service.
The motion was seconded by Council Member Blizzard and unanimously carried.
Manager's Report
Manager Hedrick presented the second quarter financial report for Council. No update has yet been received on the
status of Surf City's mitigation grant applications. Inez Bradt requested financial assistance from Surf City for Big Sweep
