The County is allocated an amount of money based on the <br /> number of unpaved roads as compared with the total number of unpaved roads in <br /> the State. The general statute requires that a priority system be established <br /> and followed for the paving of unpaved roads. The amount allocated to Orange <br /> County for 1985-86 is $573,272. <br /> Watkins noted that Old NC 86 will continually need to be upgraded <br /> since it is the only north-south road that is legal to carry heaxy loads. He <br /> listed those roads which are proposed for the 1985-86 road improvEnent program <br /> and pointed out that SR 1538, New Sharon Church Road, from SR 100:', to NC 57 is <br /> partially funded this year and will be completed next year. <br /> Chair Willhoit received from the Secondary Road Committee, which was <br /> appointed last year, a resolution which questioned why Saddle Drive, which did <br /> not ever appear on the list, is now scheduled to be paved. Watkins indicated <br /> that this road begins in Durham County and extends into Orange County. <br /> Watkins explained that Participatory Owner type Progrzums (POP) are <br /> projects classified as subdivisions or roads where there is a high density of <br /> houses. The POP list is compiled on a first come first serve basis and is <br /> generated by a petition signed by 75% of the property owners comprising 75% of <br /> the front footage. <br /> Ida Fuller asked that more consideration be given to those who live <br /> in the Northern part of the County and to those roads that need to be paved. <br />
