2 <br /> Minimum Construction Standards, January 2010, revised May 2016, can be found at this <br /> link: <br /> https://connect.ncdot.gov/resources/Asset- <br /> Management/StateMaintOpsDocs/Subdivision%20Manual%20Jan%202010 Revised%20 <br /> May%202016.pdf <br /> NCDOT Division 7 staff investigated the streets within Perry Hills Subdivision that are not <br /> currently State maintained for eligibility for addition to the State system. Their findings are <br /> provided in the Summary of Investigation Results (Attachment 2). The complete response <br /> letter from NCDOT regarding maintenance concerns and the road addition inquiry for Perry <br /> Hills is also provided (Attachment 3). The subdivision roads were constructed in <br /> accordance with the standards and regulations in place in 1965. None of the four roads or <br /> road portions meets current day standards for addition to the State Maintained system. <br /> Extensive, costly corrective actions would be required for them to be eligible for addition. <br /> NCDOT maintenance staff has recently performed pavement repairs and the State <br /> maintained streets in the subdivision are programmed for resurfacing in 2018. <br /> This item was also discussed at the March 29, 2017 Orange County & NCDOT luncheon <br /> meeting. Discussions at the meeting recommended the following next steps: 1) As there is <br /> not sufficient state funding to resolve all of the road issues for the subdivision residents, <br /> Paylor Street should be the most immediate focus since it would have the greatest impact <br /> for the least funds; 2) NCDOT will investigate a possible drainage issue on Paylor Street; 3) <br /> Support from the adjoining property owners would be required and outreach to them should <br /> be made; and 4) The process would be to first aim to get the road graveled as a two-lane <br /> road under the unpaved road program, without acceptance into the State System at this <br /> time. There was agreement that Paylor Street should be the primary focus, and a <br /> suggestion that a section of Alpha Drive be a secondary focus is funding became available. <br /> NCDOT representatives replied that there would not likely be funding to address Alpha <br /> Street. <br />
