1 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: October 5 , 1994 Action Agenda Item # \brir-lo SUBJECT: KENNETH D. SOUTHARD & FAYE M. SOUTHARD - PARTIAL WIDTH RIGHT-OF-WAY ACTION BY: DEPARTMENT: PLANNING PUBLIC HEARING Yes x No ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: Partial Width Right-of-Way Jane Garrett Checklist Extension 2581 Subdivision Proposal Tax Map TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Request for Partial Width Hillsborough - 732-8181 Right-of-Way Durham - 688-7331 Documentation from Adjoining Mebane - 227-2031 Property Owner Chapel Hill - 967-9251 9/19/94 Draft Planning Board Minutes PURPOSE: To consider a request by Kenneth D. Southard and Faye M. Southard for a reduction in right-of-way width from 50 feet to 30 feet. BACKGROUND: The Southards wish to create a 1. 382 acre lot out of a 13 . 08 acre tract. The property is located north of U. S. Highway 70. An existing private road approximately 490 feet in length (200 feet with a 30 foot right-of-way and 290 with a 50 foot right-of-way) will provide access to the property. The required road classification is Class C because the access will serve a total of three lots. A partial width right-of-way was approved (for this private road) by the Board of Commissioners on November 1, 1988 . The private road provided access to Lot 2 (recorded at PB 51 Pg 86) and the remaining acreage (Lot 1 and the newly proposed Lot 3) . The circumstances which warranted a partial width right-of-way for the initial proposal continue to exist. The Doby lot (referenced as Will Book 87-E-200) is nonconforming in size for the zoning district and the existing dwelling on the Doby lot does not allow for the additional 20 feet required for the right-of-way without interfering with the required minimum building setback. In addition, the property owner (James A. Wynn) west of Glisson Drive is unwilling to grant or sell the needed area for the full required right- of-way width.
