2 <br /> As this project was approved in 1974 and predates subdivision regulations, with multiple <br /> right-of-way dedications and phases with the County, it does not fall within current <br /> regulatory processes with respect to the BOCC needing to approve the roadway for <br /> eventual dedication. NCDOT has investigated this request and has submitted a petition to <br /> the BOCC for its recommendation (Attachment 3). North Carolina General Statute §136-62 <br /> requires that road petitions for additions to the state system be made by the Board of <br /> County Commissioners (BOCC). <br /> Conclusion <br /> The above-referenced application meets 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 subdivision process (NCDOT Subdivision <br /> 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 /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is <br /> associated with this item: <br /> • GOAL: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY <br /> The reduction of risks from vehicle/traffic accidents, childhood and senior <br /> injuries, gang activity, substance abuse and domestic violence. <br /> The addition of county private residential streets to the State Maintained Secondary Road <br /> System results in positive outcomes related to the above goal. <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 Crabapple Lane in Birchwood Lake <br /> Subdivision; and <br /> 2. Recommend the Department of Transportation accept the road for maintenance as a <br /> State Secondary Road. <br />
