The subdivision was <br /> recorded by the Orange County Register of Deeds on February 14, 2011 (Attachment 3). <br /> Both documents called for the public dedication Lucas Farm Lane at the appropriate time. <br /> North Carolina General Statute §136-62 requires that road petitions for additions to the <br /> state system be made by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC).
