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 /> Bridgeton Place 0.10 4 20/60 <br /> Forest Creek Road 0.06 4 20/60 <br /> Total 0.16 8 20/60 <br /> The Creek Wood Subdivision is located in a Rural Buffer (RB) zone, north of Whitfield Road (State <br /> Road 1731) and west of Turkey Farm Road (State Road 1730) (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 Creek Wood Subdivision was originally recorded on September 24, 1999 (Book 84/Page 64) <br /> (Attachment 2). Bridgeton Place and Forest Creek Road were designed to public road standards <br /> but have been private roads in the interim. The streets were intended to become public roads <br /> when conditions met NCDOT maintenance responsibility and ownership criteria. <br /> Bridgeton Place has a length of 0.10 miles and provides access for four fully-developed lots. The <br /> road has a right-of-way width of 60 feet and a pavement width of 20 feet. The road serves as the <br /> connection between these lots and the main thoroughfare, Creek Wood Drive, which connects on <br /> the north end of the subdivision to Turkey Farm Road and on the south end of the subdivision to <br /> Whitfield Road. <br />
