3 <br /> RENAMING A PORTION OF A PUBLIC ROAD <br /> KNOWN AS APPLE MILL ROAD TO RIP'S NOOK ROAD <br /> WHERAS, North Carolina General Statute § 153A-239.1 grants a county the authority to rename any <br /> road within a county as provided by the statute and pursuant to a procedure established by Ordinance; <br /> and <br /> WHEREAS, the Orange County Board of Commissioners on December 13, 2011 adopted an Ordinance <br /> entitled "An Ordinance to Assign and Regulate Road Names, House and Building Numbers in Orange <br /> County' ("the Addressing Ordinance") establishing, among other things, a procedure for renaming roads <br /> in Orange County; and <br /> WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners in adopting the Addressing Ordinance delegated the <br /> overall responsibility for the addressing and naming of private roads to the County Manager or her <br /> designee; and <br /> WHEREAS, the County Manager has designated the Orange County Tax Administrator as the Address <br /> Administrator; and <br /> WHERAS,the Orange County Address Administrator has found the following: <br /> 1. That originally Apple Mill Road was intended to be one road but the Cane Creek Reservoir <br /> traverses across the Apple Mill Road causing duplicate named road segments and prevents free <br /> travel from one segment of the road to the other; <br /> 2. That the duplicate name road segments on Apple Mill Road interfere with the accurate dispatch <br /> of emergency vehicles and Orange County Emergency Services has requested that a portion of <br /> the road be renamed; and <br /> 3. That the North Carolina Department of Transportation did not name the road and therefore the <br /> County does not require the approval of the Department of Transportation to rename the state <br /> maintained road; and <br /> WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners has at least ten days prior to the public hearing being <br /> held on the renaming the road, has caused notice of the time, place and subject matter of the hearing to <br /> be prominently posted at the courthouse, in at least two public places in the township where the road is <br /> located, and published notice of such hearing in a newspaper of general circulation published in the <br /> County; and <br /> WHERAS,a public hearing was held on the matter. <br /> NOW THEREFORE the portion of APPLE MILL ROAD, known as NCDOT Secondary Road (SR) 1225, and <br /> further identified in attachment A which is hereby incorporated into this document by reference, is <br /> hereby renamed RIP'S NOOK ROAD effective 60 days from the date this document was approved; and <br />
