4 <br />the entire road. If the road is paved in two phases (with Phase I being the portion from <br />Rocky Ridge Road westward for approximately 0.2 mile), two or three more property <br />owners must dedicate right-of-way in order for the provisions of G.S. 136-44.7(c) to <br />apply in attaining the remaining right-of-way. <br />The following chart demonstrates that, at this time, not enough property owners along <br />Arthur Minnis Road have dedicated right-of-way in order for the State to initiate <br />condemnation proceedings to attain right-of-way needed to pave the 1.6-mile segment <br />of Arthur Minnis Road. <br />G.S. 136-44.7(c) provisions for % Property Owners with Signed % Road Frontage with Signed <br />initiating condemnation: ROW: 75% ROW: >50% <br />Arthur Minnis Road <br />Total Number Property % Property Total Road Road Frontage % Road <br />Property Owners with Owners with Frontage (feet) with Signed Frontage with <br />Owners Signed ROW Signed ROW ROW Signed ROW <br />Whole Road: <br />20 14 70% 15,991 10,582 66% <br />Phase II: <br />15 9 60% 14,001 8,592 61% <br />17* 11 * 65%* <61 % <br />* These figures take into consideration that two properties are included in both Phase I <br />and Phase II and those two property owners have dedicated right-of-way. Phase I <br />paving will not include the entire road frontage along the properties. <br />Although more property owners along Arthur Minnis Road must dedicate right-of-way in <br />order for the State to be able to initiate condemnation proceedings to attain right-of-way <br />needed to pave the road, there are several property owners who may be willing to <br />dedicate right-of-way. Placing Arthur Minnis Road in the Secondary Road Improvement <br />Program for Orange County will allow NCDOT to start new negotiations to obtain right- <br />of-way in order to pave this segment of an important link in Orange County's rural <br />collector road system.
