ACRES OF NEW HOPE - DIVYSION OF LOTS 2 & 3 OF SECTION 5 OF THE PRELIMINARY PLAN Planner Susan Smith presented for consideration of approval the Acres of New Hope Subdivision which is actually the division of previously created lots for a subdivision. The applicant is requesting the creation of one additional lot of 2.410 acres out of 8.67 acres. The property is zoned Residential-1. The applicant proposes that the property be served by Cheyenne Drive. The Planning Staff recommended approval with two conditions: (1) the name of the owner be indicated on the plat, and (2) that there be documentation to establish the public status of Cheyenne Drive. The Planning Board recommended approval with two conditions: (1) the name of the owner be indicated an the plat, and (2) the Board of Commissioners determine in fact by action that Cheyenne Drive is a pre-existing "public" road. Attorney Geoffrey Gledhill concurred with the Planning Board recommendation. He further stated that Cheyenne Road was plated in the mid 50's and at that time the statute which designates a road public or private did not exist and the Orange County Subdivision regulations did not exist. Therefore, there were no road construction standards in place at that time. There are a number of other roads which have been publicly dedicated that exist in the County that have never been accepted by a public agency. Therefore the public dedication remains in place but they are not public roads because they have not been accepted by some public authority. NCDOT accepts roads for maintenance after certain density requirements are met. ,~~~, There are many roads in Orange County in this same category. The Board needs to answer a policy question on whether or not the property owners should;,::„ bring the road up to standard for acceptance by NCDOT. Also, if the Board decides to accept these roads, they should be accepted without any maintenance responsibilities. Motion was made by Commissioner Lloyd, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve the Preliminary Plan with the stipulation that the name of the owner be indicated on the plat. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 9.
