PURPOSE: To hold a public hearing for, receive public comment on and discuss the North
Carolina Department of Transportation's Proposed 2011 -2012 Secondary Roads Construction
Program for Orange County.
BACKGROUND: Chapter 136 -44.8 of the General Statutes of North Carolina (NCGS) require
that the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) meet with the Board of County
Commissioners at a public meeting to present to and discuss with the Board and residents the
proposed secondary road paving projects (Secondary Roads Construction Program). NCDOT,
in compliance with NCGS 136 -44.8, posted a County map at the courthouse and at the
Southern Human Services Center on June 4th showing the tentative secondary road paving
projects, and has published notice of the public hearing in the News of Orange County, The
Chapel Hill News, and the Mebane Enterprise.
The 2011 -2012 allocation for Orange County secondary (Attachment 1) roads totals
$1,053,833. The allocation includes:
Est. Cost
I. Rural Paving Priority (2 road segments — 0.65 miles) $ 211,250
II. General Secondary Road Improvements $ 760,000
IV. Surveying, right -of -way acquisition, additions, contingencies,
overdrafts, etc. $ 82,583
Total $ 1,053,833
The last time funding was available for this program was in FY 2008 -2009. The FY 2011 -2012
allocation represents a 5% decrease in funding from the $1,102,737 allocation for the 2008-
2009 Construction Program.
The roads included in the Program are Charlie's Dead End Road from SR 1343 (Mill Creek Rd)
to the end of maintenance, Buckhorn Road from end of pavement to begin pavement and
Whitfield Road from NC 86 to SR 1734 (Erwin Road). These projects can be seen on the
project map (Attachment 2).

The Program is subject to the availability of funds, rights of way, and environmental and
historical review. If right -of -way is not available on the specified unpaved roads or if additional
funds are allocated, other roads will be programmed in order of priority.
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute §136 -44.8, "the board of county
commissioners may (i) concur in the construction program as proposed, or (ii) take no action, or
(iii) make recommendations for deviations in the proposed construction program, except as to
paving projects and the priority of paving projects for which the board in order to make
recommendations for deviations, must vote to consider the matter at a later public meeting ..."
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact associated with this item.
RECOMMENDATIONS: The Manager recommends that the Board hold the public hearing to
discuss and receive comments regarding the 2011 -2012 Secondary Roads Construction
Program for Orange County, and concur with the proposed Program.
