Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point CU Grant 2
Abstract
The Cape Fear Council of Governments (CFCOG), Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point (MOTSU), Brunswick County, New Hanover County, and the municipalities of Boiling Spring Lakes, Carolina Beach, Kure Beach, Leland, and Southport will carry out recommendations from the recently completed compatible use study. The municipalities of Belville, Caswell Beach, Navassa, Northwest, Oak Island, and St. James, who were not participants in the compatible use study, will also be invited to participate. The primary recommendation that will be carried out during the performance period is the establishment of an enduring organization, initially referred to as the MOTSU Intergovernmental Coordination Commission (MICC), modeled after Ft. Bragg’s Regional Land Use Advisory Commission (RLUAC) and which has proven to be an effective body to facilitate collaboration and coordination among the military and its neighboring communities. CFCOG personnel are proposed to provide staff support to the MICC to establish a single party responsible for maintaining the forward momentum generated during the compatible use planning process. CFCOG staff will also assist local governments in implementation of other compatible use recommendations and will track implementation progress. The project implementation area is a 5-mile buffer around the main installation, the Leland rail yard, and the Army-operated rail corridor, consistent with N.C.G.S. §160A-364 and §153-323 which requires municipalities and counties respectively to provide notice to the installation commander when certain land use changes are proposed within 5 miles of a military installation. The MICC is proposed to include representatives from all local government jurisdictions within the 5-mile area with ex-officio members from other stakeholders including MOTSU and State agencies. The efforts identified in this request are intended to ensure that MOTSU and its affected local governments work cooperatively toward compatible land uses, coordinated public safety, and safe and efficient transportation networks in an effort to ensure continued cooperation toward preserving the DoD’s munitions transshipment capacity (i.e. lethality) at its largest and most important munitions transshipment facility.
