CRC Delays Land Use Change
The Coastal Resources
Commission has deferred a
request to change the land
use plan classification of
Radio Island in Carteret
County until a study in
progress is completed of the
environmental and socio
economic impacts of coal
shipping facilities on the
coast. This change would
have allowed a coal hand
ling facility on Radio
Island.
The decision came during
the Coastal Resources
Commission’s regular
meeting held at the Duke
University Marine Lab in
Beaufort. The Department
of Natural Resources and
Community Development
has proposed the study. In
deferring its decision, the
CRC requested that it be
done as expeditiously as
possible.
“There are implications
for this proposed
reclassification,” said Art
Cooper, chairman of the
commission’s planning and
special issues committee,

“such as deepening of the
channel, water pollution
from spills and run-off,
increased volume of ship
ping and train traffic, coal
dust problems and track
vibration. Faced with these
effects, the commission felt
it needed to have these
implications analyzed and
put before the public.”
The reclassification was
requested by Gulf Interstate
Company which is planning
a coal-handling facility on 77
acres it owns on the island.'
Radio Island is located near
the Morehead City port.
“The Coastal Resources
Commission is acting in an
unusual role,” said J.
Parker Chesson, com
mission chairman. “Nor
mally our commission
reviews the land use plan
amendments approved and
submitted to us by the local
government. Carteret
County did not formally
adopt the land use (dan its
staff prepared several years
ago, so the CRC adopted it
as required under state law.
Therefore, the entire
process of amending the
plan comes before us.” A
The commission held a
public hearing on July 22 in
Morehead City on the
proposed change. The 30
individuals who spoke from
among the 250 people
present described the
island’s importance for
recreation, fishing, boating,
residential and commercial
uses. Twenty-six people
spoke in opposition to the
change expressing concerns
for the impact of a coal
handling facility on the
nearby Newport River
estuary, decline in tourism
and retirement appeal and
real estate development.
Morehead City Mayor Bud
Dixon said town officials
supported industrial
development on Radio
Island provided that there
be no transportation of the
coal through Morehead City.
May Sue Noe, chairman of
the Carteret County com
missioners, supported the
reclassification.
“I think the commission
feels that the current
classification of Radio
Island does not take into
account the varied uses of
the island,” said Chesson.
“We want this study to help
us plan for the best use of
the island and adjacent
resources which reflect the
economic and en
vironmental interests of the
residents.”
Land use plans are
documents which coastal
governments use to direct
the development of their
resources. Such coastal
development permits as the
Coastal Area Management
ACt (CAMA) permit, the
state Dredge and Fill permit
and tue Corps of Engineers
permits must be consistent
with the land classifications
included in the plans.
