redesign should be required and will be required where possible. A citizen reading this provision will probably not know what a State "design standard" is. It would help if some examples were provided, such as the curve radius of a road, an entrance or cul-de-sac median, inadequate right -of -way width, etc. Alternate wording may be as follows :: IV- B -3 -d -1 1. The subdivision roads would be accepted for State maintenance if: _ a. They are to be built in a manner which satisifies the minimum State design and construction criteria for subdivision roads; and b. They would satisfy other requirements for addition to the State maintenance system, including, but not limited to, the general density standard of at least two occupied residences for each one -tenth of a mile of subdivision road. If, upon review of a subdivision plat, it is determined that the general density standard,is met, but a design standard is not, a re- design will be required where possible. For example, if the number of lots proposed along a subdivision road would clearly satisfy the density standard, but the road design was such that the centerline radius did not meet the minimum standard of 230 feet for level land, a new road design would be required. Another example is the situation where a landscaped island or- entrance median prevents acceptance of the road for maintenance. The above criteria and standards are identified in a publication, Subdivision Roads - Minimum Construction Standards, prepared by and available from the N.C. Department of Transportation.
