3 WILLIAM HENRY JOHNSON PARTIAL WIDTH RIGHT-OF-WAY (Adopted from the Orange County Subdivision Regulations Section IV-B-3-c-2) (a) In the judgement of the Planning Board and with the approval of the Board of County Commissioners, it is found that the nature and location of the subdivision, including such considerations as topography, the surrounding area, the present and future road plans, and access by public safety vehicles, are such that a partial width right-of-way is justified; and, The topography is fairly flat land. The surrounding area is single family residences and agriculture. The present road is an existing gravel road of approximately 2700 feet in length. 2125 feet of the road is 12 feet in width extending from Harmony Church Road (SR 1339) . The remaining length (575 ft.) is 8-10 feet in width. The future road plan is to upgrade the 575 ft. section of the road to 12 feet wide to satisfy Orange County's Class B private road standards in providing access to the proposed lots. This width is adequate for access by public safety vehicles. (b) The access serving the subdivision is classified as either a Class B or Class C road according to the Orange County Private Road Standards; and, The existing private road is classified as a Class B road. There are a total of seven lots which currently access Bigelow Lane, eight with the proposed subdivision of Lot 6. Tax Map Lots 2A, 2B and 3 could potentially access Bigelow Lane, however, they have access from an alternate easement granted by the adjoining property owner. (c) The right-of-way width provided is adequate to allow for the construction of a travelway, ditches, shoulders and turn- around required for the class of road serving the subdivision; and, The required improvements for a Class B road is 12 foot travelway plus approximately 4 foot shoulders and/or ditches. A 30 foot right-of-way will accommodate the requirements.
