In accordance <br /> with North Carolina General Statute §136-62% the Board is required to make a <br /> recommendation regarding the petitions to the North Carolina Board of Transportation <br /> (NCBOT) before the NCDOT can consider the petitions. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact to the County associated with this <br /> item. NCDOT will incur additional maintenance responsibilities and costs. <br /> ` North Carolina General Statute§136-62 directs that"The citizens of the State shall have the right to <br /> present petitions to the board of county commissioners, and through the board to the Department of <br /> Transportation, concerning additions to the system and improvement of roads. The board of county <br /> commissioners shall receive such petitions, forwarding them on to the Board of Transportation with their <br /> recommendations." <br />
