BACKGROUND: On July 14, 1989, Planning Staff approved a Minor Subdivision Concept Plan for Tripp's Trailer Court property. The subdivision is located on the west side of Orange Grove Road, between Teer Road and NC 54 . The total lot size is 4 . 33 acres . A Class C private road about 450 feet in length is proposed along the northern boundary of the property. An existing well, which will serve both lots, is located about 25 feet from the property line within Lot 2 . A mobile home is located on Lot 2 . Reduction of the right-of-way from 50 feet to 25 feet is needed to exclude the well from the private road right-of-way. Staff can identify no reasonable alternative to the proposed location of the road. - Orange Grove Mobile Home Court is located to the south, and there are no options for access. - Shifting a portion of the right-of-way onto the adjacent property to the north would conflict with the 30-foot powerline easement located there. - The only areas suitable for septic disposal are located along the southern portion of the property, eliminating the option of locating the right-of-way on the southern boundary.
