native 3 be amended to include the following:
n The best of
the existing cabins, such as 1, 3A, 10A, and 10B, should not be torn down.
n The new camp
at Great Island should extend to the limits of the present water system. The cabins in the
camp shouldn't be clustered together, as they are on Portsmouth Island. Such an
arrangement destroys the privacy and sense of seclusion that are among the assets of the
current camp.
n To
maintain the rustic quality of the camp, electricity and gas lines should not be provided
to the new cabins from central sources.
n The Park
Service should not require cabins that are so elaborate as to price them out of the range
of most users. People now paying $11 a night for a cabin might be willing to pay $18 or
$19 a night but would in all likelihood reduce their length of stay.
n Park planners
should encourage an eclectic design for the new cabins instead of the cookie-cutter
duplexes that were built on Portsmouth Island.
The DIFF Club also recommends that the Park Service include in its revised Alternative 3
the construction of some rustic shelters that are now included in Alternative 4. Such a
mixture of accommodations would appeal to a broad range of visitors.
The club expects the Park Service to conduct an Environmental Assessment on its preferred
alternative. If the assessment finds that the preferred alternative poses a significant
threat to the environment, then the club expects that a Environmental Impact Statement
will be performed. We suggest that the scoping meetings for the EIS be held throughout the
state because most overnight visitors don't live on the coast.
As we noted in our previous letter, the next few years are likely to be ones of great
change for Cape Lookout National Seashore. Members of the DIFF Club, who have thousands of
years of collective experience on Davis Island, want to help the Park Service manage
those changes.
