Jul 16 Se 05:06P PCDInc 030 (9191981 -6579 P.3 2. There is evidence of a °right- of -wray° around Lori Drive but no evidence that it has ever been dedicated to NCDOT. In fact, NCDOT professes no know- ledge of the road whatever from an ownership or maintenance standpoint. Further, it is not clear to' us from any documents discovered so far who the owner of the right -of way is. In the absence of such.a dedication, we befeve that we have no legal right to enter onto this property to make improvements should the county require us to do so. 3. It appears that for an extended period of time, Lori Drive has functioned as a private driveway for a limited number of lots. We have no evidence nor indication that the property owners along Lori Drive would be supportive of this type of connection .whether existing Lori Drive is improved or not We further feel that this is not a matter that we should be required to determine, more properly a matter between the county and these residents. We conclude that the matter of the connection to Lori Drive is one that is legitimately beyond the. scope of the Lawrence Park project We, therefore, request that our requirement related to Lori Drive be limited to extending a road to our property line which could be connected to existing Lori Drive, but that the connection not be made until such time as the residents, the county and the NCDOT have resolved .issues relative to ownership and maintenance of existing Lori Drive. We further request that once those determinations are made, the county request improvement of the existing section of Lori Drive be made by NCDOT in whatever fashion is satisfactory to NCDOT and the current residents of Lori Drive. If you would tike to discuss this situation further, we would be pleased to talk with you at any time. Best regards, G . ge ichbaum, Jr. Pre ident cc: Roger Perry Scott Murray Jim Wiley
