2 <br /> Founders Ridge Drive has a length of .24 mile, providing access for 24 lots, 10 of which are <br /> developed with 2 more lots under construction. The road has a right-of-way width of 45 feet, <br /> and a pavement width of 22 feet. There is a t-turn around, the stub-out to the adjoining <br /> undeveloped property. <br /> NCDOT has investigated this request and has submitted a petition to the Board of County <br /> Commissioners (BOCC) for its recommendation (Attachment 3). North Carolina General Statute <br /> §136-62 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 recommending <br /> acceptance of public roads into the State Maintained System for roads approved through the <br /> governing jurisdiction's subdivision process (NCDOT Subdivision Roads Minimum Construction <br /> 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 associated <br /> with this item: <br /> • GOAL: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY <br /> The reduction of risks from vehicle/traffic accidents, childhood and senior injuries, gang <br /> 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 aforementioned goal. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br /> 1. Forward the Petition for Addition to the State Maintained System to the NCDOT for Founders <br /> Ridge Drive in Chancellors View Subdivision; and <br /> 2. Recommend the Department of Transportation accept the road for maintenance as a State <br /> Secondary Road. <br />
