10 <br /> STAFF EVALUATION OF PRIVATE ROAD JUSTIFICATION <br /> SUBDIVISION: Spring Farm, Section Three - Preliminary Plan <br /> DATE: January 17, 1996 <br /> The standards contained in the Subdivision Regulations pertaining to public and private roads <br /> are listed below. The Planning Staff comment regarding each is provided in italics. <br /> IV-B-3-d 1. Roads - Public roads are generally required in all subdivisions and will be <br /> required where it is found that: <br /> 1. The subdivision roads would be accepted by the State for maintenance if: <br /> a) They are built in a manner which satisfies the minimum State <br /> design and construction criteria for subdivision roads; and <br /> (If the road were built according to State construction standards, <br /> it could be accepted by the State when the at least four homes are <br /> built and occupied.) <br /> b) They would satisfy other requirements for addition to the State <br /> maintenance system, including, but not limited to, the general <br /> density standard of at least two occupied residences for each <br /> one-tenth of a mile of subdivision road. <br /> (According to the Department of Transportation, a cul de sac less <br /> than 0.2 mile in length must provide ingress and egress for at <br /> least 4 occupied permanent residences and have a minimum <br /> density of two houses per tenth of a mile. This road will serve a <br /> total of 6 residences when the subdivision is fully developed. <br /> NCDOT would consider this positively when reviewing any <br /> request for State maintenance.) <br /> 2. The subdivision roads extend existing roads which are public; or <br /> (The subdivision road does not extend an existing public road.) <br />
