Highway 86 to Old Chapel Hill Drive. The portion of highway affected by such a change extends from Interstate 85 to New Hope Church Road /Arthur Minnis Road. BACKGROUND: On May 29, 1990, a public hearing was held on the assignment of house and building numbers for Rural Route 7- Hillsborough. Mr. Bob Haas, a resident of the Old N.C. Highway 86 area, spoke in opposition to the road name, indicating that the road was called Old Chapel Hill Road when he moved to the area years ago. The Board of Commissioners agreed to delay action on the assignment of house numbers, pending receipt of a petition from area residents to re --name the road. Subsequent to the hearing, Mr. Haas presented petitions from 42 of 66 property owners (66 %) requesting that Old N.C. Highway 86 be re -named to Old Chapel Hill Way or Drive from I -85 to the New Hope Church Road /Arthur Minnis Road intersection. G.S. 153A -240 permits a county to re -name any public road not in a city provided: 1. The N.C. Board of Transportation agrees with the proposed name change; 2. The proposed name change does not affect the number assigned to the road by the N.C. Board of Transportation; or 3. The proposed name is not deceptively similar to the name of any other public road in the vicinity.
