Harvey, Planner III, (919) 245-2597 <br />Craig Benedict, Director, (919) 245-2575 <br /> <br />PURPOSE: To continue review and take final action on a request to modify a previously approved <br />Major Subdivision Preliminary Plat application. <br /> <br />STAFF COMMENT: At its April 3, 2018 regular meeting, the BOCC voted 3 to 3 on a motion <br />to approve the requested modification. As a result of the tie vote, the request was technically <br />denied. The BOCC then voted unanimously to bring the item back to the April 17, 2018 <br />regular meeting so the full BOCC could re-review and take action on the request. <br /> <br />Agenda materials from the April 3, 2018 BOCC meeting can be access via the following link: <br />http://server3.co.orange.nc.us:8088/weblink8/0/doc/52008/Page1.aspx <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: The request seeks to modify conditions associated with roadway construction <br />within the Triple Crown Farms subdivision. Specifically, the applicant is seeking a modification to the <br />County’s original approval, which required internal roadways to be constructed to NC Department of <br />Transportation (NCDOT) public road standards. <br /> <br />STAFF COMMENT: As detailed during the April 3, 2018 BOCC regular meeting, the Triple <br />Crown Farms Major Subdivision was originally approved by the BOCC on June 17, 2014 as a <br />20 lot single-family residential subdivision. At that time the applicant proposed, and the <br />BOCC approved, internal roadways to be constructed to applicable NCDOT public road <br />standards. <br /> <br />The developer is requesting that the roads be constructed to Class A private road standards as <br />detailed in Section 7.8.5 of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The roads could still meet <br />NCDOT road standards except for elements of the drainage culvert/bridge construction (i.e. the wing <br />walls, side slopes, and bottom flow material) and other similar items. <br />1
