07 -41 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date JUNE 3, 1985 <br /> Action 4enda <br /> Item # Li <br /> SUBJECT: 0. T. FARRINGTON FAMILY LANDS - MINOR <br /> • <br /> DEPARTMENT: PLANNING PUBLIC HEARING Yes X No <br /> Attachment(s) Information Contact: SUSAN SMITH <br /> VICINITY MAP JANET VAN HANDEL <br /> SKETCH PLAN <br /> Telephone Numbers <br /> Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Durham - 688-7331 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Chapel Hill - 968-4501 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider approval of a Minor Subdivision with a Class A <br /> Private Road for the properties of Curtis Farrington, Tax Map <br /> 29 Lot 25 and 28 in Bingham Township. The properties front on <br /> Excel Lane. <br /> To receive the May 20, 1985 Planning Board recommendation. <br /> NEED: The properties in question are located in Bingham Township of <br /> NC 54 and are referenced on Tax Map 29. Several lot owners <br /> along this road desire to subdivide their property. All of <br /> Lots #21-31A are property of the 0. T. Farrington Family. Each <br /> 7 acre and the 16.5 acre tract were created before Subdivision <br /> Regulations went into effect. Therefore, each of these lots <br /> can request a minor subdivision. At this time a 50 foot <br /> easement across all lots can be obtained. The property owners <br /> would pursue approval of minor subdivisions if the road would <br /> be considered a Class A gravel road. If the road is required <br /> to be paved, the cost of paving would prohibit any new lots <br /> from being created. It is anticipated that all new lots would <br /> be sold or given to family members. <br /> The Department of Transportation requires that there be at <br /> least 2 occupied houses per tenth of a mile (average along the <br /> length of the road) for a subdivision road to be eligible for <br /> state maintenance, if the road is brought up to state <br /> standards. The length of this road (including its proposed <br /> extension) is .366 miles. There are 8 existing homes served by <br /> Excel Lane or approximately 2 homes per 1/10 of a mile. <br />
