-~~ c.3 U ! ~~ 2. There is evidence of aright-af-way' around Lori Drive but no evidence that it has ever been dedicated to NCDOT. !n fact, NCDOT professes no know- ledge of the toed 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-af-way is. In the absence of such a dedication, we believe 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 e~asting Lori Drive is improved or not We further feel that this is not a matter that vae should be required to determine, more property 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 NCOOT and the current residents of Lori Drive. ff you would like to discuss this situation further, we would be pleased to tack with you at any time.
