Kirk responded seven other lots. Jacobs con- <br />tinued that if the adjoining lots in question did have <br />access, the road would have to be upgraded to a public <br />road. <br />Kirk informed the Board that the lots were originally <br />platted at over ten acre lots; thus, the road would not <br />meet the density requirement of NCDOT for a state <br />maintained road. Jacobs responded that the County <br />Attorney had indicated that the County could accept a <br />road as public without accepting maintenance obliga- <br />tions. <br />Collins reminded the Board that criteria is in place <br />for private roads and clarification is needed in order <br />for Staff to accurately inform the public. <br />Tom Fisler, developer of the subdivision, indicated <br />that the two adjoining lots do not have access to the <br />private road according to the Road Maintenance Agree- <br />ment. <br />Eddleman noted that the private road criteria should be <br />addressed in the documentation for the subdivision. <br />
