2050 State Standards, would not be accepted by the State for maintenance due to density or some other State requirements that the subdivision cannot meet. EVALUATION In applying these conditions to Ram ' s Woods, the Planning Department notes the following : 1 . The proposed subdivision is located adjacent to the right of way of SR 1131 which is unpaved. However, NCDOT has commented that the road should not be considered as an extension of the State road. 2. a) The subdivision consists of less than ten ( 10 ) lots. b ) The subdivision preserves a natural area through a system of common open space as a feature of the cluster design . c) The subdivision does not include or abut any part of a thoroughfare or street shown on the Orange County thoroughfare plan or on the thoroughfare plan of an Orange County munici- pality. It does not lie within a designated transition area determined by the County. d ) The subdivision does not extend an existing subdivision where the road is private or unpaved. However, access to Ram ' s Woods is via an unpaved State road. The proposed road is not an extension of SR 1131 . e) If constructed to State standards, the road would be accepted for maintenance by NCDOT. RECOMMENDATION The evaluation of the proposed road in this subdivision indicates that a public road should be required. The subdivision satisfies three of the six conditions for the designation of a private road. The nature and location of the subdivision does not in itself Justify private road status. The subdivision does not meet condition d, extension of an existing subdivision, and condition e, NCDOT acceptance. NCDOT density requirements for acceptance call for at least four (4) developed parcels on a cul -de-sac. When fully developed, this subdivision will have seven (7 ) developed parcels. The Planning Staff recommends that Ram ' s Way be dedi- cated public and constructed to State standards.
