Site Vicinity Map <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Karen Lincoln, ext. 2594 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-$1$1 <br />Chapel Hill 9fi$-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane 33fi-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To consider a petition by North Carolina Department of Corrections (NCDOC) and North <br />Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) for abandonment of Clarence Walters Road in <br />Hillsborough Township from the State-maintained Secondary Raad System. <br />BACKGROUND: NCDOC and NCDOT have submitted a petition to remove a 0.23 mile segment of <br />Clarence Walters Road, SR 1724, from the State Maintenance Program. Clarence Walters Road is <br />located off the east side of Churton Street (Old NC 86/SR 1009) south of Interstate-85. Clarence <br />Walters Road serves as a driveway for NC Department of Correction and NC Department of <br />Transportation facilities and is partially fenced. <br />The North Carolina Department of Transportation owns all property that uses Clarence Walters Road for <br />access. The 0.23-mile segment will continue to be maintained by NCDOT for agency use. A 0.03-mile <br />segment of the road will remain in the State Maintenance Program to provide public access to the <br />parking facilities for the North Carolina Department of Corrections Orange Prison Unit and North <br />Carolina Department of Transportation Maintenance. <br />NCDOT has investigated this request (see attached Secondary Road Abandonment Report) and has <br />submitted the petition to the Board of Commissioners for its review and approval. The board must take <br />an administrative action to approve the request to remove the right-of-way from the State Maintenance <br />Program in order for NCDOT to abandon maintenance of the 0.23-mile segment of Clarence Walters <br />Road. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact associated with this decision item. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Administration recommends that the Board approve the request to <br />abandon the above referenced portion of Clarence Walters Road from the State Secondary Road <br />Maintenance Program. <br />
