Hermon Church Road (State Road 1713) (Attachment 1). The single-family <br /> residential subdivision is located within Orange County's planning jurisdiction and was developed <br /> and approved subject to the County's zoning and subdivision regulations. There is no known <br /> subdivision violation associated with the subdivision. <br /> The Weldon Ridge Subdivision was originally recorded on January 31, 2006 (Book 99/Page 58) <br /> (Attachment 2). Folsom Court and Weldon Ridge Drive were designed to public road standards, <br /> but have been private roads in the interim. The roads were intended to become public roads <br /> when conditions met NCDOT maintenance responsibility and ownership criteria. <br /> Folsom Court has a length of 0.06 miles and provides access for two fully-developed lots. The <br /> road has a right-of-way width of 50 feet and a pavement width of 20 feet. The road serves as the <br /> point of ingress/egress between the remainder of the subdivision along Weldon Ridge Drive and <br /> Old NC 10. <br />
