The referenced <br />approval proposed to construct two (2) internal subdivision roadways (Secretariat Court and Gallant Fox <br />Crossing) to provide access to the individual residential lots. Each of these roadways is required to be <br />located within a minimum 50-foot wide right-of-way and both were proposed to be constructed with a 20- <br />foot paved width. <br />On behalf of the Owner/Applicant, Pennoni Associates is requesting a Minor Administrative Change to this <br />approval to reduce the paved widths of these roadways from 20 feet to 18 feet. The reduction request is <br />being made based on the following: <br />• The requested 18-foot pavement width would be consistant with the (18') pavement width of <br />previous phase of this development. At present, VVhidavvay Lane has o pavement width ofl8feet. <br />• The reduction in pavement width will reduce the proposed impervious area within the right-of-way. <br />^ � <br />• The reduction in pavement width will reduce initial road construction costs as well as long-term <br />maintenance and replacement costs for the entity that will take responsibility for these roadways. <br />It should also be noted that thg pavement width (using a shoulder section) within n5O-foot <br />Right-of-Way meets the minimum design criteria for local subdivision roads in the NCDOT <br />Subdivision Roadway Design Manual. During your review of the above, should you have further <br />questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact noeatthe office. <br />
