2 <br /> Known as Teer Road to Flatrock Road with Attachment A"). Originally Teer Road was a single <br /> road, but the Cane Creek Reservoir now intersects Teer Road. This has caused duplicate <br /> named road segments and prevents free travel from one segment of the road to the other. The <br /> duplicate name road segments on Teer Road interfere with the accurate dispatch of emergency <br /> vehicles. Orange County Emergency Services has requested that a portion of Teer Road <br /> (Secondary Road 1100) be renamed to avoid the inaccurate dispatch of emergency vehicles. <br /> The Address Administrator has corresponded with all of the land owners that would be affected <br /> by the renaming of the road and the land owners agree with the renaming of the road (see <br /> attached "Responses from Affected Owners Teer to Flatrock") and with the new name of the <br /> road. <br /> In addition, the Address Administrator contacted the North Carolina Department of <br /> Transportation to ensure that the State Board of Transportation approval was not required to <br /> rename this portion of the road in accordance with NCGS §153A-239.1 (see attached <br /> "Response from North Carolina Department of Transportation" highlighted sections). <br /> As required by North Carolina law, a Notice of this Public Hearing was published in the News of <br /> Orange on Wednesday, May 15, 2019, The Herald Sun on Sunday, May 19, 2019, and posted <br /> at the following locations: <br /> • Orange County Courthouse <br /> • Piedmont Feed & Garden Center on Highway 54 <br /> • Intersection of Teer Road and Bradshaw Quarry Road <br /> NCGS §153A-239.1 requires that after renaming a road, the County shall notify the local <br /> postmaster with jurisdiction over the road, the Board of Transportation, and any city within five <br /> miles of the road. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: The expected financial impact for this item is the cost of a replacement <br /> road name sign to be installed on the newly named Flatrock Road. Estimate for the cost of the <br /> sign is $300 and will be paid from Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and <br /> Recreation's budget. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There is no Orange County Social Justice Goal impact associated <br /> with this item. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br /> 1. Receive comments from the public; and <br /> 2. Close the public hearing <br />
