The easement <br />agreement shall be sufficient to allow for the development of a <br />private service road or driveway to channel access from Mount <br />Willing Road to each property. Figure 6.6.2.A.3 shows an <br />example of the shared access. <br /> (ii) Developments subject to this Section, fronting on Mount <br />Willing Road, and not contiguous to other similarly situated <br />development shall be required to designate stub outs to <br />adjoining properties on the site plan so that shared access can <br />be developed if and when the adjacent property is developed <br />in either a manner which subjects it to this Section or if <br />individual curb cut for a single-family detached residential land <br />use is deemed to be a traffic safety hazard by the County and <br />NCDOT. <br />Rewrite as follows: <br />Shared Driveways/Access <br />(a) In order to manage access minimize the number of <br />driveway curb cuts on Mount Willing Road, thereby <br />improving traffic flow and safety, developments subject <br />to this Section, fronting on Mount Willing Road, and <br />located contiguous to one another shall provide shared <br />driveways/access whenever feasible, as determined <br />during site plan review. <br />(i) Methods to achieve shared driveways/access <br />may include reciprocal easement agreements <br />among property owners, reservation of future <br />access easements on property being <br />developed, or other methods determined <br />during site plan review. <br />(ii) The location of shared driveways shall be <br />determined during site plan review. Shared <br />driveways do not necessarily need to be <br />located at the front of lots if rear or side access <br />is proposed and feasible. <br /> <br />12. 6.6.3 (A)(9) All driveway entrances must have an approved NCDOT <br />driveway permit and must be paved to NCDOT standards from <br />the edge of the existing roadway pavement to the existing <br />right-of-way limit on the interior of the property. <br />OK as is <br />Page 3 of 17 <br />January 26, 2015 <br />45
