The 56-lot subdivision is located in Eno Township at the north-.east carnet of St. Mary's Road and Lipscomb Grove Church Raad. The Preliminary Plat was approved with the condition that a left turn lane on St. Mary's Road would be constructed after final plat approval of Phase I but before the final plat for Phase II is submitted. Communication with DOT an several occasions has resulted in the decision that a left turn lane is desirable and will increase the sight distance and safety at this location. The applicant still has reservations about the original requirement to construct a left turn lane. Mr. Gordon Johnson expressed concern about the sight distance. He feels the number of vehicles and the number of homes in the subdivision do not meet the criteria for a turn lane. If reducing the number of homes from 55 to 50 will relieve the applicant of this requirement, he would be willing to do so. The Administration recommends approval of the turn lane per the Planning Board recommendation. The Board discussed the traffic on St. Mary's Raad and the traffic pattern in that area. Gommissioner Hartwell stated he feels the turn lane is not needed. Motion was made by Commissioner Marshall, seconded by Chairman Caxey to approve the Turn lane as proposed by Dwight Kelly of DOT.
