2 the way in which the road was established. The OUTBoard recommends the same treatment, as follows, for all petitions for addition of a subdivision road to the State Maintained System. PUBLIC ROAD ACCEPTANCE PROCESS Roads approved as public roads through the subdivision process (standard process) The BOCC should recommend that the North Carolina Board of Transportation approve Petitions for Addition of roads to the State Maintained System that the BOCC has approved as public roads through the major subdivision process. The BOCC, reviewed the subdivision's street system as part of the major subdivision approval, and intended for those roads to become North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) maintained roads. All other cases The BOCC should refer Petitions for Addition of subdivision roads that the County has not approved as public roads through the subdivision process to the OUTBoard for review. Examples of such roads are subdivision roads platted/created in one of the following ways: • Developments in which all lots are greater than 10 acres that are exempt from local subdivision regulation per N.C. State Statute §153A-335; • Major subdivisions approved with private roads; • Minor subdivisions; • Subdivisions platted prior to October 1, 1975. The NCDOT refers Petitions for Addition that meet NCDOT road standards to the County for the Commissioners' approval. Such Petitions for Addition would be presented at the first OUTBoard meeting following staff receipt of the petitions. The OUTBoard would consider whether the subject subdivision is in a location where the County desires future connectivity between developments or existing public roads, or where there is potential to provide connectivity between existing developments. If the OUTBoard determines that the County desires road connectivity, the OUTBoard would recommend that the BOCC endorse the petition(s) for approval by the North Carolina Board of Transportation (NCBOT) if the petitioners submit a plat for recordation showing: 1. Right-of--way extended to allow connectivity; 2. Irons have been set at the edge of right-of-way to mark the "new" corners of the lots and new lot size; 3. Appropriate certificates of dedication of the right-of--way and acceptance of the public right-of- way signed by the appropriate entities. For all other circumstances, the OUTBoard would recommend that the BOCC not endorse the petition(s) for addition of subdivision roads for approval by the NCBOT. The Petitions for Addition would then be forwarded for the agenda for the first BOCC meeting the following month. (The OUTBoard meets the third Wednesday of the month.) In addition, the OUTBoard further recommends that: • The BOCC incorporates the policy in the Orange County Subdivision Regulations; and • The County develops a transportation plan that maps proposed connectivity between public roads.
