Site Vicinity Map TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane 336-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To consider a petition by the Orange County Board of Education for abandonment <br />of SR 1222 in Hillsborough Township from the State-maintained Secondary Road System. <br />BACKGROUND: North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has submitted a <br />petition from the Orange County Board of Education to remove State Secondary Road 1222 <br />from the State Maintenance Program. SR 1222, unnamed, is approximately 0.11 mile long, and <br />is located off the north side of New Grady Brown School Road (SR 1721) west of Orange Grove <br />Road (SR 1006). A new high school is proposed for that site. SR 1222 will become the <br />entrance to and part of a parking lot for the school (according to the preliminary site plan for the <br />high school). <br />NCDOT has investigated this request (see attached Secondary Road Abandonment Report) <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 request to remove the right-of-way from <br />the State Maintenance Program in order for NCDOT to abandon maintenance of SR 1222. <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 <br />to abandon SR 1222 from the State Secondary Road Maintenance Program.
