2 <br /> Oak Crest Subdivision was recorded on May 3, 1989 (Book 52/Pages 153/154) (Attachment 2). <br /> Oak Crest Drive, Booth Road Extension, Ridge View Lane, and Cedar Run Lane were designed <br /> to public road standards but have been private roads in the interim, intended to become public <br /> roads when conditions met NCDOT maintenance responsibility and ownership criteria. <br /> Oak Crest Drive has a length of 0.70 mile, providing access for 14 fully developed lots. The <br /> road has a right-of-way width of 50 feet, and a pavement width of 18 feet. The road intersects <br /> with Booth Road in two locations. <br /> Booth Road Extension has a length of 0.50 mile, providing access for 11 fully developed lots. <br /> The road has a right-of-way width of 50 feet, and a pavement width of 20 feet. The road is the <br /> extension of existing Booth Road to the southeast at the County line. <br /> Ridge View Lane has a length of 0.10 mile, providing access to 5 fully developed lots. The road <br /> has a right-of-way width of 50 feet, and a pavement width of 18 feet. The road terminates in a <br /> cul-de-sac. <br /> Cedar Run Lane has a length of 0.07 mile, providing access to 5 fully developed lots. The road <br /> has a right-of-way width of 50 feet, and a pavement width of 18 feet. The road terminates in a <br /> cul-de-sac. <br /> NCDOT has investigated this request and has submitted a petition to the Board of County <br /> Commissioners (BOCC) for its recommendation (Attachment 3). North Carolina General Statute <br /> §136-62 requires that road petitions for additions to the state system be made by the Board of <br /> County Commissioners (BOCC). <br /> Conclusion <br /> The above-referenced application meets the criteria endorsed by the BOCC for recommending <br /> acceptance of public roads into the State Maintained System for roads approved through the <br /> governing jurisdiction's subdivision process (NCDOT Subdivision Roads Minimum Construction <br /> Standards, January 2010, revised May 2016). <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact to the County associated with this <br /> item. NCDOT will incur additional maintenance responsibilities and costs. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to <br /> this item: <br /> GOAL: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY <br /> The reduction of risks from vehicle/traffic accidents, childhood and senior injuries, gang <br /> activity, substance abuse and domestic violence. <br /> The addition of County private residential streets to the State Maintained Secondary Road <br /> System results in positive outcomes related to the aforementioned goal. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br /> 1. Forward the Petition for Addition to the State Maintained System to the NCDOT for Oak <br /> Crest Drive, Booth Road Extension, Ridge View Lane, and Cedar Run Lane in Oak Crest <br /> Subdivision; and <br /> 2. Recommend the Department of Transportation accept the roads for maintenance as a State <br /> Secondary Road. <br />
