Petition & SR Addition Investigation Reports for Edburton Court and Berwick Place INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Lincoln; 245-2594 PURPOSE: To consider a recommendation regarding a request for addition to the State Maintained Secondary Road System for Edburton Court and Berwick Place. BACKGROUND: The property owners on Edburton Court (14 homes) have petitioned the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) to accept maintenance responsibilities for Edburton Court and a 0.05-mile portion of Berwick Place. Edburton Court and the 0.05-mile section of Berwick Place are located in Hardscrabble Phase III Section I in Eno Township. Berwick Place crosses the Orange/Durham County line, extending from Hardscrabble Drive in Durham County to provide access to Edburton Court. Hardscrabble Phases I and II are located in Durham County off the north side of St. Mary's Road (SR 1002). The Board of County Commissioners,approved the preliminary plat for Hardscrabble Phase III Section I in November 1994 directing that "Berwick Place and Edburton Court shall be irrevocably dedicated to the general public and be constructed to the standards of the North Carolina Department of Transportation." The approved resolution directed the County Manager to accept "for Orange County and on behalf of the public generally" Berwick Place and Edburton Court without maintenance responsibility, and specified that the "roads shall be maintained by the owner/applicant until such time as they are accepted for maintenance by the NCDOT or some other governmental body."
