In 1983, the Orange County Board of Commissicners approved a petition to add Foxboro <br />Drive and Edwards Drive, both gravel roads, to the State Secondary Road System and NCDOT <br />maintenance program, That petition included the portion of Edwards Drive from Old Greensboro <br />Road to Foxboro Drive, This petition proposes to extend NCDOT maintenance 0.04-mile to include <br />maintenance of the road to the driveways of the two houses located on Edwards Drive beyond the <br />intersection of Foxboro Drive. <br />NCDOT has investigated this request (please refer to attached Secondary Road Addition Reports) <br />and has submitted the petition to the Board of Commissioners for its review and approval. The <br />Board must take an administrative action to approve the petition to NCDOT in order for NCDOT to <br />add Edwards Drive extension to the State Secondary Road System, and accept maintenance <br />responsibilities for that portion of the road. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact associated with this item. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the request to add <br />an extension of Edwards Drive to the State Secondary Road System.. <br />
