ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: May 7, 2013 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. 5 -i <br />SUBJECT: Requests for Road Additions to the State Maintained Secondary Road System <br />DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections PUBLIC HEARING: (Y /N) <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />1 — Map of Willowbend Lane Abigaile Pittman, 245 -2567 <br />2 — Willowbend Subdivision Final Plat Tom Altieri, 245 -2575 <br />3 -- Willowbend Lane NCDOT Documentation Craig Benedict, 245 -2585 <br />PURPOSE: To make a recommendation to the North Carolina Department of <br />Transportation ( NCDOT) concerning a petition to add a subdivision road in Willowbend <br />Subdivision (Willowbend Lane) to the State Maintained Secondary Road System. <br />BACKGROUND: This request includes one (1) petition for road additions to the State <br />Maintained Secondary Road System. The road is as follows: <br />Willowbend Subdivision (Willowbend Lane) <br />The requested road addition is about 0.14 mile long. Five (5) houses currently have <br />entrances to the road submitted for addition, and an additional eleven (11) undeveloped <br />lots have frontage on the road. Willowbend Lane is located approximately .28 mile south of <br />the intersection of NC 57 and NC 86 North (Attachment 1). <br />Willowbend Subdivision is located within the Town of Hillsborough's Extraterritorial Zoning <br />Jurisdiction (ETJ) and was recorded with the Orange County Register of Deeds on April 9, <br />2007 (Attachment 2). Although this property is within the Town's ETJ, North Carolina <br />General Statute §136 -62* requires that road petitions for additions to the state system be <br />made by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC). NCDOT has investigated this <br />request and has submitted a petition to the BOCC for its recommendation (Attachment 3). <br />Conclusion <br />The above - referenced application meets the criteria endorsed by the BOCC for <br />recommending acceptance of a public road into the State Maintained System for roads <br />approved through the governing jurisdiction's major subdivision process ( NCDOT <br />Subdivision roads Minimum Construction Standards, January 2010). <br />
