172 to` beisold: iTo-additionilrrasidences can be built:- 'Although one lot will contain 3 residences, the remaining four will be located on individual lots, each with its own area for wastewater disposal/ . Previous problems with wastewater disposal were corrected during the course of the subdivision approval. The result was an improved situation. However, upgrading the existing gravel road to State standards, as currently required, is not feasible in the view of the owner. Thus the subdivision has not been recorded, and the residences are not available for purchase by the tenants. EXISTING AND PROPOSED ORDINANCE PROVISIONS: IV-B-3-d-1. Roads - Public roads are generally required in all subdivisions and will be required where it is found that: 1. The subdivision roads would be accepted by the State 'tor maintenance if: a. They are built in a manner which satisfies the minimum State design and construction criteria for subdivision roads; and b. They would satisfy other requirements for addition to the State maintenance system, including, but not limited to, the general density standard of at least two occupied residences for each one-tenth of a mile of subdivision road. If, upon review of a subdivision plat, it is determined that the general density standard is met, but a design standard is not, a re-design will be required where possible. For example, if the number of lots proposed along a subdivision road would clearly satisfy the density standard, but the road design was such that the centerline radius did not meet the minimum standard of 230 feet for level land, a new road design would be required. Another example is a situation where a landscaped island or entrance median prevents acceptance of the road for maintenance. The above criteria and standards are identified in a publication, Subdivision Roads-Minimum Construction Standards, prepared by and available from the N. C. Department of Transportation; or
