NORTH CAROLINA CONSERVATION AND HISTORIC PRESERVATION EASEMENTS BOOKLET
PROMOTED STATEWIDE AND NATIONALLY
In 1994 the HPO provided grant and advisory assistance for the preparation of the booklet
Conservation and Historic Preservation Easements, written and published by the Conservation
Trust for North Carolina. This thirty -eight -page guidebook explains conservation and
preservation easements and their advantages for private landowners who want to protect the
natural, rural, scenic, or historic character of their property. During the past year, the HPO
promoted this publication at statewide meetings and regional workshops. North Carolina's
CLG coordinator, Melinda Coleman, introduced the booklet in a presentation on innovative
grant projects at the August 1996 Certified Local Government Forum in Berkeley, California.

INVESTIGATIONS ON TOPSAIL ISLAND ADD TO UNDERSTANDING OF COASTAL
PREHISTORY
In late 1996 archaeological investigations were completed at a prehistoric campsite located on
Topsail Island in Onslow County. The work was conducted by Garrow and Associates, Inc.
(now TRC Garrow), an archaeological consulting firm hired by the Island Development
Group, Inc. (IDG), based in Ringgold, Virginia. IDG consists of several investors whose plans
include the development of a sixty -one -lot subdivision on a twenty -five -acre tract, which
contains varying amounts of undisturbed archaeological remains. The archaeological
investigations were undertaken in accordance with conditions included in the Coastal Area
Management Act (CAMA) permit issued to the developers by the North Carolina Division of
Coastal Management.
Under the provisions of the law, any undertaking requiring a joint permit from the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers and the Division of Coastal Management is reviewed by the HPO for
potential affects on archaeological and historic properties. If, in the opinion of the HPO, the
undertaking may adversely affect a significant historic property, some form of mitigation may
be recommended and made a condition of the permit. Responsibility for carrying out a permit
condition rests with the permitee. In the case of the IDG project, called the C
subdivision, the HPO review noted the presence of site 31ON190, which had been recorded on
the property in 1985. Based on information from comparable sites and situations, the HPO
determined that the archaeological site had the potential to contain substantial undisturbed
cultural deposits and that a program of testing and data recovery was warranted. The CAMA
rA
11a
Page 27
permit included a condition requiring the archaeological investigations prior to initiation of any
ground -disturbing activities in the project area.
As is often the case, however, issuance of the conditioned permit was only the beginning of
long, complex, and often stressful negotiations between the HPO and the developers, who
questioned the need for archaeological investigations conducted at their expense. Once
resolved, there was another protracted discussion regarding the amount and types of
investigations to be undertaken. The results were a compromise acceptable to both sides.
Approximately 4,800 sq. meters (4.7 percent) of the site were stripped to expose undisturbed
cultural features such as hearths, storage and cooking pits, and structural postmolds. Thirty-
one features were identified, along with more than 1,500 postmolds, including a circular house
pattern that may date to.the Middle Woodland period (ca. 200 BC -AD 800). Most of the
features appear to date to the Late Woodland period (ca. AD 800-1500), with lesser amounts
of earlier materials. One feature, a small basin -shaped pit containing a distinctive type of
pottery known as Hamps Landing, was radiocarbon dated to 1945 BC. Analyses of botanical
and faunal remains recovered from the site indicate that the prehistoric inhabitants took
advantage of the full range of natural resources available along the shallow waters of the
sound, not the least of which were fish and shellfish. One very interesting item identified in
the remains was wild rice; there is little prior record of rice in the prehistoric Indian's diet,
although it would seem natural, given the extensive wetlands in the region.

Was the project successful? Was an adequate sample of the significant cultural information
recovered? We certainly added to our knowledge of North Carolina's past: the circular house
pattern is only the second one identified on the coast, the wild rice is an unusual find, and the
early date for Hamps Landing pottery is very important. Whether an "adequate sample" was
recovered is debatable. Each site is unique and provides a unique glimpse into the past. The
objective, however, is not to excavate all of every site but to recover an adequate sample of
the information each site offers to paint a reasonable picture of prehistoric "history."
Unfortunately, with the rapid development of North Carolina's coast comes the equally rapid
destruction of the archaeological record --a record about which little is known. While the 4.5
percent sample at Cape Island might not be considered "adequate," it was a sample defined in
large measure by finance, polity, diplomacy, bureaucracy, and practicality, and which worked
to the mutual benefit of the future and the past. --Mark Mathis
CHEFS SPECIAL: THE EDENHOUSE SITE BRIDGES HISTORIC KNOWLEDGE GAP
Mix together one suspected early colonial house site with plans for a major highway bridge
replacement project. Allow to rise quickly under normal atmospheric pressures of regulatory
deadlines, project funding limits, and construction schedules. Toast lightly under the broiler of
Sections 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act and 4(f)-of the U.S. Department of
Transportation Act. Yield: one large but unavoidable loss of a significant archaeological site to
the wheels of progress.
The location of the western terminus of the U.S. Highway 17 bridge over the Chowan River
(dividing Bertie and Chowan Counties) is indicated on maps as "Edenhouse." This modem
riverside community is named for Charles Eden, governor of North Carolina from 1714 to
1722, who owned an eighteenth -century plantation on the west bank of the Chowan.
Archaeological remains of the governor's plantation house, his former grave site, and that of
his wife, are recorded in the Office of State Archaeology's (OSA) site inventory as 31BR52.
Historians, archaeologists, artifact collectors, and the owners of the land on which the site is
located have long recognized the existence and importance of the site, although, until recently,
there had been no concerted effort to study it.
In 1995 comments by the HPO's OSA concerning the North Carolina Department of
Transportation's (NCDOT) plans to replace the major Chowan River highway bridge set off a
chain of events that quickly led to documentation of one of the earliest (1660s) English
colonial sites in the state. While the larger Edenhouse site was well recognized, collaboration
among OSA and NCDOT archaeologists for a preliminary archaeological survey of land on a
high bank of the Chowan and south of the existing roadway turned up exciting evidence of an
unknown plantation component. Ken Robinson, NCDOT archaeologist, interviewed members
of the Bell family, which owns the property, and collected artifacts and documentary evidence
of eighteenth -century and earlier occupation of the tract. The HPO's concurrence with
NCDOT's findings have resulted in a major, carefully planned excavation to reveal, record,
and interpret the site prior to its eventual destruction by construction of the new bridge.

We have completed our review of the report prepared by Garrow and Associates,
Inc. (GAI) for the Cape Island project and offer the following comments.
During the investigations, approximately 4,800 m2 were stripped of disturbed
overburden, revealing what were subsequently identified as 31 cultural features anc
over 1,000 probable postmolds, including portions of two prehistoric structures.
Analysis of cultural materials recovered from the site indicate primary occupations
during the Late Woodland period (ca. A.D. 800 - A.D. 1400), with occupations of
lesser intensity during the Early and Middle Woodland periods (ca. 2000 B.C. - A.D.
800).
The GAI investigations resulted in the recovery of significant archaeological data
which contributes to our understanding of coastal North Carolina prehistory. Since
the work effort has fulfilled the project scope of work, GAI proposes no further
archaeological investigations in connection with the CAMA permitting process.
In accordance with the scope of work for the project, and based on the types and
distributions of cultural remains identified, GAI assessed the potential for additional
significant remains elsewhere in the project area for purposes of possible restrictive
covenants. These covenants would be designed to protect and preserve significant
portions of the site for future research. GAI concluded that while substantial
undisturbed remains can be expected throughout the project area, there is
insufficient archaeological basis to define specific areas for covenants. GAI,
therefore, proposed no covenants within the Cape Island project area.
We concur with the GAI findings and recommendations. We must, however, stress
our concern that significant cultural resources remain undisturbed at the site and

may be uncovered during future construction activities. The remains may include
human burials. In the event human burials or human skeletal remains are
discovered, the permittee must cease all activities in the area of discovery and
undertake the appropriate actions in accordance with GS 70, Article 3, the
Unmarked Human Burial and Human Skeletal Remains Protection Act.
The report meets our office's guidelines and those of the Secretary of the Interior.
Specific concerns and/or corrections which need to be addressed in the preparation
of a final report are attached for the author's use.

p. 8, para. 2: Although subsistence -related remains are virtually unknown from
Early Woodland sites, the distribution of sites containing characteristic ceramics
(e.g., Deep Creek, New River) indicates a dispersed, multi -resource -based
system, probably not too dissimilar to the preceding Archaic. [see also below]
p. 8, para. 3,4: While there is an intensification of estuarine resource
exploitation during the Middle Woodland, Early Woodland ceramics also are
present in varying quantities at most shoreline sites (e.g., shell middens).
Further, Middle Woodland sites are distributed inland in a pattern all but identical
to the Early Woodland. This suggests a general continuation of the earlier
dispersed, seasonal settlement pattern, albeit with greater numbers of people
and an increasing orientation towards fish and shellfish. Based on more recent
studies, there is no noticeable decrease the number of inland sites until the Late
Woodland. [see also p. 9, para. 51
• p. 9, para. 3: There is evidence to suggest that the "sand burial mounds" are
nothing more than natural sand ridges into which burials were excavated. In
addition, the single radiocarbon date of A.D. 980 +/- 110 from the McLean
"sand mound" suggests a likely Late Woodland association; the A.D. 1000 +/-
80 date from the Cold Morning site is also Late Woodland.
• p. 9, para. 6: The possible Middle Woodland association of the oval/round
structures at Broad reach is based on concentrations of Hanover ceramics and
potential Middle Woodland features, not radiocarbon dates. The site has a very
strong Middle Woodland component, but the absolute association of the
structures is not yet documented. [see also p. 11 , para. 11
• p. 11, para.8: There were actually two (2) shell -tempered vessels in the
ossuary.

overlapping with Thoms Creek and
p. 63, Feature 31 : It would perhaps be more prudent to suggest a "possible"
Early Woodland association for Feature 31, given the single Hamps Landing
sherd present in the fill and the presense of several Late Woodland features in
the immediate vicinity. With the exception of Middle Woodland burials, pit -type
features appear to be extremely rare for either Early or Middle Woodland period
occupations along the coast.
• p. 76, Feature 8: See comment above for Feature 31. See also p. 92, para. 6.
• p. 73: There is no discussion of Area F. While there were apparently no
features identified in the area, a brief discussion of the materials (albeit limited)
collected should be included.
• p. 79, para. 2: Although it may be that the postmold pattern in Area G
represents a "longhouse", the rectangular (non-longhouse) structure at Broad
Reach suggests another possibility.
• p. 99, para. 2, third sentence: Is "This does necessarily imply..." correct?
Should it read "This does not necessarily imply..."
• p. 99, para. 2: A summary of the seasonality data (faunal, shellfish,
ethnobotanical) should be included here. The data suggest, at least for the Late
Woodland, a near -year round occupational pattern. Can this issue be
addressed?
• p. 101, para. 2: True, to a point. However, differences in surface treatment
cannot be overlooked. Hanover consists of only cordmarked, fabric and plain
varieties; Hamps Landing, like the Early Woodland Deep Creek and New River
series, includes cordmarked, fabric -impressed, net -impressed, simple -stamped,
and plain varieties. On this basis, the technological trajectory appears closer to
the Early Woodland than Middle Woodland series.

COASTAL MANAGEMENT
John, in March the District Office received a request from Parker & Associates to modify the Cape
Island Subdivision Major Permit. The modification request involves the addition of a clubhouse with
parking lotto the plans.
Upon receiving the request we told them to send copies of the stormwater approval (revised) and a copy
of the sewer tap. To get a sewer tap they had to exchange a tap for a residential lot to get one for the
clubhouse. At the time this Subdivision was permitted, sewer capacity was not available for all of the
proposed lots. Attached is a copy of the stormwater approval and a copy of the sewer tap. Also, in
March we received a copy of a letter from David Brook, Preservation Officer, to Gary Joyner stating
that until Historic Preservation receives a complete report on the archeological investigation, they do
not want any land -disturbance occurring outside of the proposed roadbed. Attached is a copy of that
letter. A CAMA Minor Modification should not be issued for the clubhouse until DCM has
confirmation that a complete report has been submitted to Preservation for review.
If Historic Preservation is satisfied, after review of the complete report, then we could recommend that
the permit modification request be honored.
We recommend that the following conditions be added or amended to the Permit:
1. Inasmuch as North Topsail Water and Sewer was authorized by the Division of Water Quality on
May 1, 1997 to provide domestic wastewater service for 23 three -bedroom homes and a clubhouse in
Cape Island Subdivision. This CAMA permit authorizes residential development on 23 of the proposed
lots and a 22' x 36' clubhouse until such time that further allocation of sewer connections is
d by DWQ.

2. This CAMA permit must be amended to reflect further sewer connection beyond the 23 homes and
the clubhouse. Contact the Division of Coastal Management at 910 395-3900.
3. CAMA Minor Permits are required from the Town for each of the 23 residential units and the
clubhouse and parking lot. Additional issuance of Minor Permits must be in strict compliance with
items 1 and 2 of this condition.
Stormwater Management
G
3 4. The Division of Water Quality issuedLowDensity Subdivision Stormwater Permit NoSW8 960319
Modification on March 31, 1997 for this project. Any violation of the SWMP will be considered a
violation of this CAMA Permit.
5. Stormwater rules allow 5,124 square feet of built upon area per lot. CAMA Estuarine Shoreline
ORW rules allow 25 % of the high ground lot to be impervious or built upon. The most restrictive of
these rules shall apply.
M 6. A revised Sedimentation/Erosion Control Plan may be required. Verification should be obtained
from the Land Quality Section.
Beach Access Parking
7. The proposed beach access parking lot must comply with CAMA rules at the time of construction.
Specifically, all portions of the parking lot and associated land -disturbance must be landward of the first
line of natural, stable vegetation or measurement line, where applicable. This line is to be staked by
a Coastal Management Representative immediately prior to commencement of construction.
8. The surface treatment for the parking lot will be clay, packed sand or gravel. No concrete or
asphalt is hereby authorized.
All other conditions should remain the same, unless I've missed something. I talked with Renee
Gledhill -Earley today. They have not vet received a complete report on the archeological work. I don't
know what condition(s) may need to go under Archaeological Resource Protection for the modification.

Thank you for your letter of February 27, 1997. We have reviewed the documents
accompanying your letter, including the letters from Garrow and Associates, and offer the
following comments.
Based on the Management Summary for site 31 ON190, we concur with the Garrow &
Associates concluslon that sufficient archaeological investigations have boon conducted to
mitigate the impacts of the proposed subdivision road construt<tlon. Therefore, we
recommend no further arehaen109ka1 investigations within the roadway footprint and
concur that construction of the road may proceeaas planned.
Pending receipt of the complete report on the investigations, however, we are unable to
concur with their recommendations regarding restrictive convenants elsewhere on the Cape
island property. Upon receipt and review of the report, including appropriate maps and
justifications, we will complete our evaluation of the Garrow and Associates
recommendations. Until then, no ground disturbing activities should occur on the property
other then the road cons ruction_ _
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for
Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CPR Part 800,

FAX and Mail problems) between the Raleigh and Wilmington offices
of DWQ. Please call Rick at (919) 733-5083 if you need
confirmation or additional information.
The owner is very anxious to begin work on this simple, small

Dear Mr. Joyner:
Division of Archives and History
Jeffrey J. Crow, Director
Thank you for your letter of February 27, 1997. We have reviewed the documents
accompanying your letter, including the letters from Garrow and Associates, and offer the
following comments.
Based on the Management Summary for site 31 ON190, we concur with the Garrow &
Associates conclusion that sufficient archaeological investigations have been conducted to
mitigate the impacts of the proposed subdivision road construction. Therefore, we
recommend no further arch to ical investi ations within the roadway footprint and
concur that construction of the road may proceed as panned.
Pending receipt of the complete report on the investigations, however, we are unable to
concur with their recommendations regarding restrictive convenants elsewhere on the Cape
Island property. Upon receipt and review of the report, including appropriate maps and
justifications, we will complete our evaluation of the Garrow and Associates
recommendations. Until then, no ground disturbing activities should occur on the property
other than the road construction.
The above comments are made pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's Regulations for
Compliance with Section 106 codified at 36 CFR Part 800.
Thank you for your cooperation and consideration. If you have questions concerning the
above comment, please contact Renee Gledhill -Earley, environmental review coordinator, at
919/733-4763.

within the Property, hereby covenants, and each Owner of any Lot, by acceptance of a deed
therefor, whether or not it shall be so expressed in such deed, is deemed to covenant and
agree to pay his pro rata share, as hereinafter set forth, of any special assessments for capital
improvements, maintenance, reconstruction, repair and the like, and for improvements which
serve the entire..community, such assessments to be fixed, established and collected as
hereinafter provided. The special assessments together with interest, costs and reasonable
attorney's fees, shall be a charge on the Lot and shall be a continuing lien upon the Property
against which each such assessment is made. Each such assessment, together with interest,
costs and reasonable attorney's fees, shall also be the personal obligation of the person who
was the Owner of such Property at the time when the assessment fell due or was declared in
accordance with the provisions hereof. The personal obligation for delinquent assessments
shall pass to his successors in title and each shall be jointly and severally liable for
delinquent assessments and related costs as above provided. In no event, however, shall a
mortgagee who acquires title through foreclosure or proceeding in lieu of foreclosure, be
subject to delinquent assessments. Once a Lot Owner sells or conveys his Lot, he shall not
be responsible for any assessments made after the recording date of transfer.
The assessments provided for herein and all installments thereof may be adjusted from
time to time by the Declarant or Committee, if applicable, to reflect the changes in the
number of and status of Contributing Lots by virtue of foreclosure or proceeding in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise. Accordingly, it is recognized and agreed by each Lot Owner, for
himself and his heirs, executors, successors and assigns, that in the event an individual Lot
Owner fails or refuses to pay his assessment or any portion thereof, then, upon the discretion
of the Declarant or Committee, the other Lot Owners may be responsible for increased
assessments due to the nonpayment by a Lot Owner, and such increased assessments can and
may be enforced as herein provided. This shall in no way relieve the nonpaying Lot Owner
from his obligation under this Declaration. Any monetary recovery from the nonpaying Lot
Owner shall be paid on a pro rata basis to the Lot Owners who were subject to and paid the
increased assessment.
Section 2. Purpose of Assessments. The assessments levied by the Declarant or
Committee shall be used exclusively for the maintenance and upkeep of the Common Areas
of the Property, and for services and facilities devoted to this purpose, including, but not
limited to, the repair, replacement, and additions to the entrance areas, the club house, the
boat ramp and for the cost of labor, equipment, materials, management and supervision
thereof, and for improvements which serve the entire Cape Island community.
Section 3. Special Assessments. The Declarant or Committee may levy in any year a
special assessment (which must be fixed at one uniform rate for each affected Lot as a
separate entity equivalent to every other affected Lot), for the purpose of defraying, in whole
or in part, the cost of any construction, maintenance, reconstruction, repair or replacement of
3
a capital improvement; provided, however, that after control has been transferred to the
Committee by Declarant, any such assessment shall have the assent of two-thirds (2/3) of the
votes of each class of members who are voting in person or by proxy at a meeting duly
called for this purpose, written notice of which shall be sent to the affected Lot Owners, not
less than thirty (30) days, nor more than sixty (60) days, in advance of the meeting setting
forth the date, place and purpose of the meeting. Notice shall be sent to the Lot Owners
address as listed in the Onslow County Tax Office. The Declarant shall not be required to
obtain Owner approval to levy any assessment prior to the Turnover Date as hereinabove
defined.
Section 4. Quorum for any Action Authorized Under Section 3. The Quorum
required for any action authorized by Section 3 of this Article shall be as follows: At the
first meeting called, the presence of members or of proxies entitled to cast forty percent
(40%) of all the votes entitled to be cast shall constitute a quorum. If the required quorum is
not present, another meeting may be called subject to the same notice requirement and the
required quorum at the subsequent meeting shall be one-half (1/2) of the required quorum at
the preceding meeting. No such subsequent meeting shall be held more than sixty (60) days
following the preceding meeting.
Owner. the Lien. Remedies. If any assessment is not paid on the date when due, as
specified herein, then such assessment shall be deemed delinquent and shall, together with
such interest thereon and cost of collection therefore as are hereinafter provided, continue as
a lien on the Lot which shall bind such Lot in the hands of the then Owner, his heirs,
devisees, personal representatives, successors and assigns. In addition to such lien rights, the
personal obligation of the then Owner to pay such assessment, however, shall remain his
personal obligation and shall also pass to his successors in title as a joint and several liability.
If the assessment is not paid within thirty (30) days after the delinquency date, the
assessment shall bear interest from the date of delinquency at the rate of twelve percent
(12%) per annum and the Declarant or Committee may bring legal action against the Owner
personally obligated to pay the same or may enforce or foreclose the lien against the
property; and in the event a judgment is obtained, such judgment shall include interest on the
assessment above provided and a reasonable attorney's fee to be fixed by the court together
with the costs of the action. No Owner of a Lot may waive or otherwise escape liability for
the assessments provided for herein by non-use of the easement areas, or abandonment of his
Lot.
Section 6. Establishment of Liens. Any and all assessments made by the Declarant
or the. Committee, if applicable, in accordance with the provisions of this Declaration with
interest thereon and costs of collection, including, but not limited to, legal fees, are hereby
declared to be a charge and continuing lien upon each Contributing Lot against which each
such assessment is made. Each assessment against a Contributing Lot, together with interest
thereon, including, but not limited to, legal fees, shall be the personal obligation of the
Owner of the Contributing Lot. Said lien shall be effective only from and after the time of
the recordation amongst the public records of the county of a written, acknowledged
statement by the Declarant or Committee setting forth the amount due as of the date the
statement is signed. Upon full payment of all sums secured by that lien, the party making
payment shall be entitled to a satisfaction of the statement of lien in recordable form.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, where an Institutional Mortgagee
of record obtains title to a Contributing Lot as a result of foreclosure, its successors or
assigns, shall not be liable for the share of assessments pertaining to such Contributing Lot
or chargeable to the former Owner thereof which became due prior to the acquisition of title
as a result of the foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, unless the assessment against the
Contributing Lot in question is secured by a claim of lien for assessments that is recorded
prior to the recordation of the mortgage which was foreclosed or with respect to which a
deed in lieu of foreclosure was given.
Section 7. Affected Lot. All Lots are considered to be equally benefitted by the
Capital/Common Improvements, and easements, and shall therefore equally share in the costs
to maintain, repair and/or operate such facilities.
n
Section 8. Exempt property. All properties within the boundaries of the plat of Cape
Island dedicated to and accepted by a governmental body, agency, authority, or utility and
devoted to public use shall be exempted from the special assessments, charges and liens
created pursuant to. this Declaration.
ARTICLE V
