2 <br />Eno Ridge Subdivision is located in the western part of the county, south of Lebanon Road <br />(Attachment 1). The final plat for Eno Ridge Subdivision was recorded on February 6, 2004 <br />(Attachment 2). The seven roads in the above table are private roads in the interim, but <br />pursuant to the adopted subdivision, intended to be public roads when conditions meet <br />NCDOT maintenance responsibility and ownership criteria and therefore were constructed <br />to public road standards. <br />A total of 0.84 mile of roads in the subdivision, providing access for 31 lots, is being <br />petitioned for addition to the State Maintained Secondary Road System. Six of the roads <br />have a right -of -way width of 50 feet, and a pavement width ranging from 18 to 20 feet. One <br />road, the primary access road (New Salou Drive), has a right -of -way width of 60 feet and a <br />pavement width of 20 feet. The subdivision is zoned Rural Residential (R -1) and all of the <br />roads are located in Orange County's zoning and subdivision jurisdiction. The <br />developer /homeowners have built and maintained the roadway to a public road standard. <br />NCDOT has investigated this request and has submitted a petition to the Board of County <br />Commissioners (BOCC) for its recommendation (Attachment 3). <br />rnnrhminn <br />The above - referenced applications meet the criteria endorsed by the BOCC for <br />recommending acceptance of public roads into the State Maintained System for roads <br />approved through the governing jurisdiction's major subdivision process ( NCDOT <br />Subdivision Roads Minimum Construction Standards, January 2010). <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact to the County associated with this <br />item. NCDOT will incur additional maintenance responsibilities and costs. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: <br />1. Forward the Petition for Addition to the State Maintained System to the North <br />Carolina Department of Transportation for New Salou Drive, Trumpet Court, Vine <br />Court, Bee Balm Court, Onslow Court, High Ridge Drive and Climbing Aster <br />Court in Eno Ridge Subdivision; and <br />2. Recommend the North Carolina Department of Transportation accept the roads <br />for maintenance as State Secondary Roads. <br />
