40 <br /> Draft 11-19-2013 <br /> Implementation <br /> Coordination <br /> The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) lacks authority over the <br /> land development process, and Orange County lacks authority over access permitting <br /> decisions on state highways. Together, these factors make coordination essential and <br /> to create consistent standards and procedures in the Study Area. Coordination between <br /> NCDOT and the County must consider the effects of its decisions on the entire Eno <br /> EDD Study Area if the partnership is to work efficiently. Because each agency has <br /> authority over a different part of the process, they can achieve far more through mutual <br /> cooperation than either agency can achieve alone. Coordination is also beneficial to the <br /> public and the developer or property owner whose financial investment is at stake. <br /> Role/Responsibility of the NCDOT <br /> The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is responsible for regulating <br /> the location, design, construction, and maintenance of street and driveway connections <br /> on the State Highway system. The NCDOT recognizes landowners have certain <br /> reasonable rights of access consistent with their needs. However, access connections <br /> are a major contributor to traffic congestion and poor roadway facility operations that <br /> can result in decreased highway capacity, and increased safety hazards. <br /> Early NCDOT review of development proposals help ensure conformance with access <br /> management requirements and provides NCDOT an opportunity to suggest changes <br /> prior to local plat approval, which may occur well in advance of a request for a driveway <br /> permit. The NCDOT Access Management Group (of the Congestion Management <br /> Section of the Traffic Engineering and Safety Systems Branch) examines the potential <br /> safety and capacity impacts that new or expanding traffic generations may have on the <br /> state roadway system and provides recommendations based on the analysis. This <br /> process typically requires the completion of a Traffic Impact Study by the Developer/ <br /> Property Owner/Applicant. Other recommendations may range from denying access, to <br /> requiring the developer to construct additional travel or turn lanes, access restrictions, <br /> internal traffic pattern operations or installing new traffic signals to minimize the traffic <br /> im pact. <br /> Role/Responsibility of Orange County <br /> Several sections of the Orange County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) <br /> (adopted 2011) will assist with implementation of the Eno EDD Access Management <br /> Plan. The UDO requires site plans to comply with County adopted access management, <br /> transportation and/or connectivity plans and denote the location of future roadways(s) <br /> and access easements, whether public or private, and to ensure and encourage future <br /> connectivity. The UDO also provides additional requirements for Economic <br /> Development Districts as well as the Major Transportation Corridor Overlay District <br /> (MTC), to ensure that a development proposal complies with EDD and MTC policies, <br /> procedures and regulations. <br /> 28 I Page <br />
