The road length and width are as follows: <br /> Road Name Length in Miles Number of Frontage Pavement/Right-of- <br /> Lots with Houses way Widths in Feet <br /> Bennett Orchard Trail 0.40 9 20/50 <br /> Total 0.40 9 20/50 <br /> The Orchard Subdivision is located in a Rural Buffer (RB) zone, north of Jones Ferry Road and <br /> southwest of the Jones Ferry Road/Old Greensboro Road intersection (Attachment 1). The <br /> single-family residential subdivision is located within Orange County's planning jurisdiction and <br /> was developed and approved subject to the County's zoning and subdivision regulations. There <br /> is no known subdivision violation associated with The Orchard Subdivision. <br /> The Orchard Subdivision was recorded on February 21, 2008 (Book 103/Pages 86-89) <br /> (Attachment 2). Bennett Orchard Trail was designed to public road standards but has been a <br /> private road in the interim; it was intended to become a public road when conditions met NCDOT <br /> maintenance responsibility and ownership criteria. <br /> Bennett Orchard Trail has a length of 0.40 miles and provides access for nine fully developed lots. <br /> The road has a right-of-way width of 50 feet, and a pavement width of 20 feet. The road serves <br /> as the singular access road for vehicular ingress/egress at its intersection with Jones Ferry Road <br /> (State Road 1942), and terminates at the northeast end of the subdivision with a cul-de-sac. <br />
