BRADSHER, JR. - PARTIAL WIDTH RIGHT-OF-WAY DEPARTMENT: PLANNING PUBLIC HEARING Yes x No ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: Eddie Kirk Extension 348 Subdivision Plan Map of Property Tax Map TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Draft 2/19/90 Planning Board Hillsborough - 732-8181 Minutes Durham -- 688-7331 Mebane - 227-2031 Chapel Hill - 967-9251 PURPOSE: To consider a request by B.E. Bradsher, Jr. for a reduction in right-of-way from 50 feet to 25 feet. BACKGROUND: The proposed minor subdivision is located on the south side of Gibbs Lane (SR 1564) off Palmers Grove Road (SR 1562) . The applicant is requesting to divide a 4.41 acre lot. The lot frontage on Gibbs Lane is 353 feet and the property is zoned R-1 . A Class C private road about 400 ' in length is proposed along the western boundary of the property. Both lots would be served by wells and septic tanks. An existing house is located on the southern portion of the property. Reduction of the right-of-way from 50 feet to 25 feet is needed to exclude a line of existing trees from the private road right-of-way. An existing drive extends along the property line between Mr. Bradsher's property and the property to the west owned by Fred Albert. Mr. Albert has indicated that when he is ready to divide his property he will provide the additional 25 feet required to meet the 50 foot right- of-way requirement. This right-of-way would then extend to the southern property line of Mr. Bradsher's and Mr. Albert's property. The Planning Board recommended approval of the partial width right-of-way in their February 19, 1990 meeting. RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval as per the Planning Board recommendation.
