Map of Jimmy Ed Road PURPOSE: To consider recommendations regarding the North Carolina Department of Transportation's (NCDOT) Proposed 2008-2009 Secondary Roads Construction Program for two roads, Ben Wilson Road and Jimmy Ed Road. BACKGROUND: The Orange County Board of Commissioners held a public hearing on January 22, 2009 to receive comments regarding paving options for two roads deferred from the May 20, 2008 public hearing on NCDOT's proposed 2008-2009 Secondary Road Construction Program. Property owners on Ben Wilson Road and Jimmy Ed Road stated at the May 20, 2008 public hearing that they did not want NCDOT to pave the roads. The Board voted unanimously to approve NCDOT's proposed Secondary Road Construction Program with the exception of Ben Wilson Road and Jimmy Ed Road, and deferred action on those roads until NCDOT could meet with the two communities and come to consensus about paving the roads. NCDOT has not yet acquired right-of-way for all parcels on both roads. However, both roads are eligible for condemnation. If NCDOT cannot acquire needed right-of-way, or if NCDOT chooses to deviate from the proposed paving program, NCDOT may put the roads or affected portions of the roads on the "Hold List" and those funds will be applied to the roads listed in priority order in the paving alternate list for Orange County. Ben Wilson Road NCDOT met with residents on Ben Wilson Road on June 24, 2008. At that forum, residents came to consensus to support paving the northern 1/3 of the road (from Bowman Road to the Squires property). The Board has four options to consider for its recommendation to the Board of Transportation: 1. Pave only the northern portion of Ben Wilson Road (all residents agreed to this); 2. Pave the northern portion of Ben Wilson Road and leave open the possibility of paving the remainder if support of property owners comes at a later time; 3. Pave the entire road subject to availability of right-of-way; or 4. Don't pave Ben Wilson Road.. 2 Jimmy Ed Road NCDOT met with residents along Jimmy Ed Road on June 23, 2008 and again on August 4, 2008. Residents were divided in their views regarding paving the road. At the last forum, residents supported paving Jimmy Ed Road along the frontage of Lattisville Grove Baptist Church, which is the major traffic generator on Jimmy Ed Road. The residents in favor of paving the entire road agreed to continue talks with their neighbors and come to some consensus regarding paving the remainder of the road. The Board has three options to consider for its recommendation to the Board of Transportation: 1. Pave Jimmy Ed Road from Walnut Grove Church Road to the driveway of Lattisville Grove Baptist Church (all residents support this); 2. Pave Jimmy Ed Road from Walnut Grove Church Road to the driveway of Lattisville Grove Baptist Church and leave open the possibility of paving the remainder if support of property owners comes at a later time; 3. Pave Jimmy Ed Road in its entirety, subject to availability of right-of-way; or 4. Don't pave Jimmy Ed Road. January 22, 2009, public hearing Ben Wilson Road. Three members of the public expressed their concerns; none objected to paving the northern portion of the road. • Dust and dirt cause additional maintenance to vehicles and homes and aggravate respiratory problems for the property owner on the east side of the road located along the middle 1/3 (approx.) of the road. The property owners would like the road paved across road frontage of their property. • Dust and gravel are problematic to property owners on northern end of the road and those property owners (3 parcels) would like that portion of the road paved. • Property owner on the southern portion of the road does not want the southern part of the road paved in order to maintain the rural character of that area and to discourage more intense development of other properties on the road. The property owner did not object to paving the road north of her property. Jimmy Ed Road. Three members of the public expressed different views for paving the entire road, but supported paving the portion from Walnut Grove Church Road to the driveway of Lattisville Grove Baptist Church. • Representatives of Lattisville Grove Baptist Church and Winstead Grove L.L.C. wanted the entire road paved. • Representatives from Lattisville Grove Baptist Church indicated that the right-of-way is eligible for condemnation (seventy-five percent (75%) of property owners adjacent to the project and the owners of the majority of the road frontage adjacent to the project have dedicated the necessary property for the right of way) and the church is willing to provide funds required by the Department of Transportation to cover the costs of condemning the remaining property. • A property owner on the northern side of the road expressed the concerns of other property owners on the road that did not want the road paved past the entrance to the church, which is the major traffic generator. The property owner pointed out that Jimmy Ed Road is a dead end road serving only eight (8) parcels. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact associated with this decision item. 3 RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board endorse the following for the 2008-2009 Secondary Road Construction Program for Orange County and forward that recommendation to NCDOT: 1. Pave Ben Wilson Road from Bowman Road to Hebron Church Road (approximately 1.10 miles), subject to availability of right-of-way, as proposed by NCDOT; and 2. Pave Jimmy Ed Road from Walnut Grove Church Road to the end (approximately 1.0 mile), subject to availability of right-of-way, as proposed by NCDOT.
