12 <br />NCDOT REVIEW NOTES FOR DHR <br />Bricewood Subdivision on SR 13S1 (Governor Scott Road)) <br />16 September 1999 <br />COMN ENTS & REQUIREMENTS: <br />1. Prior to construction of any new access or alteration of any existing access within the right of way, the <br />developer /owner is required to secure a permit with this office. It is the responsibility of the <br />owner /developer to obtain a permit. , . <br />2. The owner /developer should dedicate 10' x 70' Sight Triangles at each proposed intersection. Please <br />refer to the attached figure regarding the minimum design. Please note that the subject site has a <br />limited 400' to 420' of sight distance. Normally, the minimal sight distance for 55 -mph speed zone is <br />550'; therefore, we recommend the developer provide additional safety improvements and/or the <br />posted speed limit is lowered to 45 -mph. <br />3. We are concerned with the existing lake and how the owner is proposing to develop the roadway and <br />the lot. No part of the lake or dam is permitted within the right of way. <br />4. The proposed 50' right of way is an acceptable design; however, it has been our experience that the <br />owner /developer will have trouble maintaining the typical ditch section in the small right of ways. In <br />addition, we have received complaints from the local utility companies about the limited workspace. <br />Therefore, we recommend the owner /developer provide a 60' right of way or some type of an <br />additional easement along the roadway. <br />5. Prior to any construction, the owner.'developer will need to submit their final plans for review. The. <br />final plans should include the horizontal and vertical alignment information, a typical section, drainage <br />facilities, vicinity map, and the number of lots with the proposed driveway location. <br />6. The owner /developer should be aware of General Statute 136 - 102.2, in which new roads are not <br />eligible for the State Maintenance system unless certain requirements are met. An explanation of these <br />requirements can be found on pages 13,14 and 15 of the current (January 1999) NCDOT <br />Subdivision Roads Manual Particular attention should be placed on items 2 (petition for addition), 5 <br />and 7 (occupied housing requirement), 11, 12, and 13. <br />
