1 O R A N G E C O U N T Y BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: August 8. 1994 Action Agenda Item #TX-E SUBJECT: DANNY SETTLEMYRE - PARTIAL WIDTH RIGHT-OF-WAY DEPARTMENT: PLANNING PUBLIC HEARING Yes x No ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: Jane Garrett Partial Width Right-Of-Way Extension: 2581 Checklist Subdivision Proposal Tax Map TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Request for Partial Width Hillsborough - 732-8181 Right-of-Way Durham - 688-7331 6/20/94 Planning Board Mebane - 227-2031 Minutes Chapel Hill - 967-9251 PURPOSE: To consider a request by Danny Settlemyre for a reduction in right-of-way width from 50 feet to 30 feet. BACKGROUND: Danny Settlemyre wishes to create a 1. 16 acre lot out of a 95.08 acre tract. The property is located east of Dimmocks Mill Road (SR 1134) . A proposed private road (30 foot right-of-way) approximately 325 feet in length will provide access to the property. The required road classification is Class C because the access is intended to serve only two lots (Lots A and B) . A portion of the right-of-way is being provided via an existing lot (Lot A) . Reduction of the right-of-way from the required 50 feet to the proposed 30 feet is needed in part due to the location of the existing septic drain line located on Lot A (existing lot) as well as the limited area for a proposed septic system for Lot B (the newly created lot) . The proposed new Lot B also does not have direct frontage on Dimmocks Mill Road. Efforts to acquire a strip of land between the proposed new lot and Dimmocks Mill Road proved unsuccessful due to the sale prices of the intervening strip. Access through the remaining portion of the 95.0 8 acre tract could be provided but the expense of existing a road from New Grady Brown School Road or around two lots fronting on Dimmocks Mill Road proved to be prohibitive.
