throughfare plans. New development must also provide <br /> building setbacks as required in section 3.1,Architectural <br /> Design,from the proposed (new)right-of-way. <br /> A case study example illustrating the application of these <br /> criteria is provided on the preceding page. If the case study <br /> had indicated that the projected traffic from the development <br /> would,when combined with the existing volume, exceed the <br /> capacity of the road,additional improvements such as widening <br /> the road through the property frontage (one-half of the <br /> cross-section)would have been required unless the <br /> improvements were scheduled to be made as part of the N.C. <br /> Department of Transportation's (N C D OT)Transportation <br /> Improvement Program. <br /> New Streets: Identified in section 2.t, Development Areas, <br /> were proposed access points and collector road systems to <br /> serve the proposed Economic Development Districts.These <br /> locations are identified,not as definite alignments,but as <br /> statements of intent. Comprehensive site development plans, <br /> including proposed subdivision plats,must incorporate these <br /> alignments and access points wherever possible. However, <br /> road locations,including local residential or commercial streets, <br /> must avoid difficult topography,respect the land form by <br /> paralleling contour lines,be sited so they do not interfere with <br /> natural drainage,and stubbed-out to property lines to assure <br /> connection with future development on adjoining lots. <br /> New collector and local streets,serving residential or <br /> commercial development,must meet the specifications and <br /> standards contained in the Subdivision Regulations andbr <br /> NCDOT Construction Standards for streets with curb and <br /> gutter section.The ultimate cross-section will be dependent, <br /> however,upon the review and recommendation of N C D OT. <br /> On-street parking is not permitted on collector streets which <br /> will intersect with existing thoroughfares proposed as bicycle <br /> routes in the Regional Bicycle Plan. In lieu of on-street parking, <br /> four-foot bike lanes must be delineated on each side (curb)of <br /> the street. <br /> Ecaaankc DeveAop=nt Dirft:ts Desert Manual Pape 3.3.f4 <br />
