39 <br /> This could be a separate roadway or some form of internal connectivity for <br /> these adjacent parcels to the internal roadway network within the Project. <br /> This is to address potential loss of Southern Drive as an access for these <br /> parcels in the event of railroad expansion. <br /> D. Staff is concerned about the proposed drive access points along the <br /> Interstate exit ramp running parallel with the southern Property line. <br /> Specifically, staff is concerned about what appears to be 2-way traffic <br /> access onto the exit ramp from Development Area 1 (i.e. Buc-ee's Travel <br /> center). <br /> Staff will be recommending to the applicant and NC DOT the proposal be <br /> revised to allow for right-turn only for these driveways, specifically: <br /> • Entrance to the Project near the intersection of Mt. Willing Road; <br /> • Exit onto the allowing drivers to access Development Area 1 near <br /> the intersection of the UD Highway 70 connector. <br /> This presumes NC DOT allows for the development of driveway/access <br /> roads onto the exit ramp serving Development Area 1. <br /> E. Orange County Planning supports the proposed US Highway 70 <br /> connector improvements as detailed on the Master Concept Plan and <br /> referenced within the TIA. <br /> F. Mt. Willing Road is on the County's adopted 2019 Efland-Buckhorn- <br /> Mebane Access Management Plan (EBM AMP) as well as the Orange <br /> County CTP. Staff will be recommending the incorporation of the <br /> following: <br /> i. 4-Lane divided cross section (page 20 of the EBM AMP) <br /> ii. The current right-of-way for Mt. Willing Road is 60 ft. Staff is <br /> recommending a 25' reservation of additional right-of-way along <br /> the western boundary of the Property in support of future <br /> improvements along the roadway. <br /> iii. Staff will be requiring a 100 right-of-way (41F) or 110' right-of- <br /> way (4G) — NOTE: sample cross sections on next page; <br /> iv. County staff will recommend to the BOCC that Mt. Willing Road <br /> improvements be approved as a County priority in SPOT 7 and <br /> subsequent processes. <br /> 17 <br />
