r 2 Previous Subdivision on Yates Road -Luther I. Yates Jr. In 1991 a relative of Ms. Pope (Luther I. Yates,Jr.) submitted a proposal to create three lots at the end of Yates Road(Eno Township,Tax Map 20 Lots 25D, 25H and 25J). Initially,this proposal was denied based on Section IV-B-3-d-1 (2)of the Orange County Subdivision Regulations,which states that . . . "Public roads are generally required in all subdivisions and will be required where it is found that . . . the subdivision roads extend existing roads which are public". The Yates subdivision required a 150' extension of Yates Road in order to intersect with a new private road which would serve the three lots being created. Because the extended portion of Yates Road was only 150 feet in length,that portion was approved as a private rather than public road on the condition that any future development on Yates Road Extension would require public dedication and construction. Mr. Yates was notified to inform Bertha Yates Clark and Maxine Yates Dean(now Pope)that any development of their property using Yates Road Extension would require public dedication and construction to state standards(see attached letter). Appeal of Decision on Maxine Yates Pope Subdivision On July 2, 1996,the Planning Staff reviewed a proposal submitted by Ms. Pope to create two lots from an existing lot to the east of Yates Road Extension. The Planning Staff required public dedication and construction to state standards from the end of state maintenance to the intersection with the proposed Peterpan Lane. This requirement is pursuant to Section IV-B-3-d-1 (2)of the Subdivision Regulations as well as a condition of approval for the Luther Yates Minor Subdivision. The adjoining parcel to which the public dedication connects contains about 1850 acres. Ms. Pope appealed the Staff's decision regarding the road classification to the Planning Board. At its August 7, 1996 meeting,the Planning Board recommended public dedication of Yates Road from the existing end of State Maintenance to the eastern boundary of the property, with construction to Class B private road standards from the end of State mainenance to Peterpan Lane. The Planning Board also recommended public road construction as a condition of approval for any future subdivision which would have access to the portion of Yates Road Extension beyond the end of State maintenance. The vote was unanimous. RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the Preliminary Plan for Maxine Yates Pope as recommended by the Planning Board,per the attached Resolution of Approval. The Administration also recommends that Yates Road Extension be constructed to public road standards as a condition of approval for any future subdivision which would have access to the portion of the road beyond the end of State maintenance.
