4 CHAPTER 1: Setting the Stage OVERVIEW PART ONE Oriental, the Sailing Capital of North Carolina, is a friendly and welcoming waterfront community nestled among several creeks and the Neuse River in southeastern Pamlico County. From the beginning, the natural harbor attracted commercial interests and Oriental was incorporated as a town in In the early decades of the town, key industries were farming, fishing, logging and sawmills. Railroad and steamship services transported goods to markets. After the Second World War railroads to small towns virtually disappeared causing Oriental s economy and population to shrink in vitality and size. Commercial fishing and packing helped fill the void, providing employment for many. As the last sawmill was closing, boaters cruising the new Intracoastal Waterway along with recreational boaters from central North Carolina discovered Oriental. In 1960 only a few sailboats called Oriental home, now there are thousands in the area. Eventually recreational boating joined commercial fishing as an important aspect of economic opportunity. In the early 1980 s the farmland on Ragan Road, Link Lane and Lupton Drive was subdivided into single family lots as was the land along Whitaker and Pierce Creeks where marinas and boat yards already existed. Many cruising sailors stopping on their travels ultimately bought or built homes in those areas. Boating, water vistas and small-town charm continue to attract newcomers. By the end of the last century the local economy broadened beyond sailing and commercial fishing to include motor boating, kayaking, recreational fishing and related businesses. Restaurants, inns, shops and services developed to cater to residents and an increasing stream of visitors. Along with the enhancement of water-related activities, a growing interest in visual and performing arts and the pursuit of wellness activities helped stimulate Oriental s growing niche in tourism. U.S. census data indicate that there has been a continuous decline in population between 2000 and Oriental s population swells on holidays, weekends, and especially during Croaker Festival, Spirit of Christmas, and New Year s Eve Dragon Run. Since the late 1980 s and continuing to this day, the town s boundaries have grown through voluntary annexation of mostly residential areas off White Farm Road. Oriental s identity extends to a variety of surrounding neighborhoods whose residents consider Oriental to be their town, too. ORIENTAL S LONG RANGE VISION-background In 2007 the Town Commissioners appointed a Long Range Planning Committee (LRPC). After considerable work and research the LRPC proposed obtaining broad public input to define a community vision. The LRPC prepared a survey based upon comments and insights collected at a S.W.O.T. planning 4

5 workshop (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) held in September, Invitees were members of the town s staff, elected officials, and volunteers serving on the many town boards and committees because among them they deal with the daily operations and governing aspects of Oriental. The extensive information gathered at that meeting was refined into the thirty (30) questions included in a survey which produced public input organized into these areas of interest: 1. Community Identity, Waterfronts, Appearance and Lifestyle 2. Economic Opportunity, Development and Sustainability 3. Governance and General Operations 4. Growth and Expansion The survey was circulated via mail, online, as an insert in The Pamlico News and at some businesses around town. Respondents were predominantly fulltime residents of Oriental but also included part-time residents, friends of Oriental, and non-residents. In order to include the views of the local business community, the LRPC hosted a workshop of business owners and area non-profit board members. Though poorly attended, valuable information was obtained. Valuable information from their perspective was obtained. Upon comparing the information gathered at both workshops and studying the survey data, common hopes, concerns and themes emerged. Survey respondents and meeting participants painted a clear picture of being happy to be in Oriental and wanting the town to continue mostly as it is with changes in keeping with the current look and feel of the town. To complete the work of creating a vision, members of the LRPC reviewed previously established long range planning documents including the Oriental Planning Conference of 1988, the Waterfront Feasibility Study of 1996 and the 2007 CAMA Land Use Plan Update. The committee was mindful to respect Oriental s role as just one single municipality within the larger Pamlico County community. ORIENTAL S LONG RANGE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN-background [this section needs to be added to after the process has occurred.] At present a variety of threats loom over the economic sustainability of the town. Challenging the fishing industry are a variety of natural and economic pressures. Conversion of working waterfronts, marinas and boat yards into residential developments potentially jeopardizes important marine-based businesses and services. Finding volunteers to work on town committees, support area non-profits, and run Oriental s popular annual events is becoming difficult. At the March vision workshop business owners expressed the need for more cooperation and partnership with the town. The vitality and sustainability of Oriental s future rests on the town s ability to meet these threats. With a valid town VISION in place, the next step for the town was to develop a roadmap for development and governance by creating a long range 5

6 and comprehensive plan. In April 2010, the town s Board of Commissioners appointed a successor to the Long Range Planning Committee, the LRPC II, and assigned them with the task of creating a long range and comprehensive plan. This plan will put in place a means to allow the community to anticipate and respond to opportunities and threats. It will be used to direct the efforts of the town s staff, various boards, committees and volunteers. The recommendations and actions suggested in this document are subject to periodic changes. A mechanism has been incorporated into the plan to allow for annual reviewing and updating. The first step in creating the long range and comprehensive plan was to consult all of the Town s standing boards and committees, and the Town s staff for suggested recommendations and actions relevant to any or all of the four major elements of the VISION. A matrix was developed to record their suggestions. Over the course of a year, the matrix was added to and modified as information was given to LRPC II. The committee reviewed all of this information and developed recommendations and actions aligning with each of the goals listed in the VISION. Final action on the long range and comprehensive plan will involve several steps. First the Planning Board will review and refine the document before making a recommendation. Then it will be reviewed by the Town s Attorney. The Town Board will hold a public hearing and make final refinements and vote on its adoption. An ordinance to be incorporated into the Growth Management Ordinance is included in the long range and comprehensive plan. The adoption of this ordinance will be in accordance with provisions in Section XV of the GMO. The entire process of developing this long range and comprehensive plan including meeting minutes, data, working documents and other information has been documented and records are available at Town Hall and are posted on the town s website. CHAPTER 2: ORIENTAL S VISION: Community Identity, Waterfronts, Appearance and Lifestyle The town s appearance and charm come from its proximity to the Neuse River and the many creeks surrounding it. The harbor waterfront, original village and newer neighborhoods off White Farm Road echo the theme of a lifestyle that is safe, friendly and historically reliant on maritime activities. Oriental Waterfronts Harbor Maintain and expand the public s access to the water, water views, launching and docking facilities, and public waterways throughout the community. Encourage public and private expansions of maritime commercial and recreational activities and services along Oriental s traditional working waterfronts. 6

7 Village Encourage fishing, both commercial and recreational, as important elements of the local economy and traditional reflections of the town s heritage. Encourage preservation, rehabilitation and restoration of older, historic, and original buildings. Promote development and redevelopment that reflect the traditional front porch welcoming character of the village. Whitaker Creek, Pierce Creek, Dolphin Point and other areas. Encourage development that continues a feeling of small town togetherness. Economic Opportunity, Development and Sustainability Over the years, Oriental s economic capacity has expanded and contracted based on the success or failure of water-oriented businesses. A comprehensive business development strategy that creates an environment for opportunity, growth and support will help to overcome threats, both real and perceived, which face businesses and entrepreneurs. Waterfronts Encourage and facilitate the continuation and enhancement of working waterfronts such as fish houses, marinas and boat yards. Business and Commerce Engender an atmosphere of welcome and support for entrepreneurs and business owners. Participate in public/private partnerships to coordinate community resources, activities and services among the town, its businesses, and volunteers. Town Governance and General Operations Oriental s all-volunteer governing boards and committees are responsible for enacting and/or enforcing the town s procedures and ordinances. The paid staff tends to daily operations and enforcement (GS 160A-148). A long range vision will assist these individuals in anticipating the town s needs while honoring its heritage. Public Works, Public and Private Services Provide an environment that is safe and functional with appropriate and necessary services. Manage the town s facilities and assets to preserve and protect the local environment. Link together community and county assets, resources, activities and services. Transportation, Traffic Circulation and Parking Provide traffic patterns for vehicular and alternative transportation modes that are safe, fluid, and accessible. 7

8 Implement transportation routes and parking facilities that enhance Oriental s visual appeal. Open Areas, Trails and Pathways Develop pathways, trails and corridors that interconnect the town s recreational facilities, parks, commercial areas and residential neighborhoods. Expand Oriental s park space and recreational opportunities in established and future neighborhoods. Growth and Expansion Just as the town has evolved since its inception, changes will come to Oriental. In the long-range vision process the public has spoken clearly that in general they like Oriental the way it is now and hope, regardless of what changes may come, that Oriental will continue as a small waterfront town welcoming a variety of individuals, interests and pursuits. Establish the means to guide growth, expansion, redevelopment and development that adheres to the points brought forward by the public and contained in this longrange vision.
