Teer <br /> Road is located in Bingham Township between Bradshaw Quarry Road (SR 1115) and Orange <br /> Grove Road (SR 1006). Cane Creek Reservoir divides the road into two segments. The 0.20- <br /> mile segment of right-of-way to be abandoned is located on the western section of Tear Road <br /> (off Bradshaw Quarry Road) and runs from Apple Mill Road to the reservoir. No homes or other <br /> uses access the 0.20-mile segment. Public access to the Cane Creek Reservoir lands is off <br /> Stanford Road on the east side of the reservoir. The 0.80 mile segment of Teer Road from <br /> Bradshaw Quarry Road to Apple Mill Road will remain in the State Secondary Road <br /> Maintenance Program. <br /> NCDOT has investigated this request (please refer to attached Secondary Road Abandonment <br /> Report) and has submitted the petition to the Board of Commissioners for its review and <br /> approval. The board must take an administrative action to approve the request to remove the <br /> right-of-way from the State Maintenance Program in order for NCDOT to abandon maintenance <br /> of the 0.20 mile segment of Tear Road. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with this agenda item. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Administration recommends that the Board approve the request <br /> to abandon the above referenced portion of Teer Road from the State Secondary Road <br /> Maintenance Program. <br />
