Item No.
SUBJECT: Recommendation to NCDOT Concerning the Addition of Antler Point Road to
the State Maintained Road System
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No
ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT:
Map of Richardson Subdivision Karen Lincoln, 245-2594
Letter from C.N. Edwards, NCDOT Craig Benedict, 245-2592
Letter from Carrboro Zoning Department
PURPOSE: To make a recommendation to the North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) concerning a petition to add Antler Point Road to the State Maintained Secondary
Road System.
BACKGROUND: Richardson Subdivision was approved by the Carrboro Board of Adjustment
through the Special Use Permit process on December 2, 1987. Antler Point Road was
originally platted and approved as a public road. Please refer to the attached letter from
Carrboro staff. The plat designates Antler Point Road as a "Public R/W", and includes a stub
out from the end of the cul-de-sac that is designated as a "future public right-of-way". The
NCDOT District Engineer at that time signed a certificate on the plat stating that the road met
NCDOT construction standards. Property owners within the subdivision (5 homes) have
petitioned the NCDOT to accept maintenance responsibilities for Antler Point Road.
Richardson Subdivision is located off the west side of Smith Level Road, Chapel Hill Township,
in the Town of Carrboro's Extraterritorial Planning Jurisdiction, outside the municipal limits of
the Town.
This application meets the intent of criteria endorsed by the Board of County Commissioners
for recommending acceptance of a public road into the State Maintained System for roads
approved through the governing jurisdiction's major subdivision process. Those criteria are:
1. Right-of-way extended to allow connectivity;
2. Irons have been set at the edge of right-of-way to mark the corners of the lots;
3. Plat includes appropriate certificates of dedication of the right-of-way and acceptance of the
public right-of-way signed by the appropriate entities.
However, the subdivision was not subject to Orange County subdivision regulations, as the
subdivision is Iodated in Carrboro's planning jurisdiction. The plat lacks the acceptance of the
public right-of-way certificates signed by a governing body. The plat, approved in 1987, would
not have contained that certificate if Orange County had reviewed it because that requirement
was not included in Orange County's Subdivision Regulations until a 1990 amendment.

R8pOFf\' and has submitted the petition to the Board Df Commissioners for its review and

Re: Richardson Subdivision, Antler Point Road offer of dedication.
Dear Ms. Lincoln,
The Town of Carrboro Zoning Division has received your request to review the permit history of the
Richardson Subdivision as it pertains to Antler Point Road. A Special Use Permit for the Richardson
Subdivision (which is also referred to as Antler Point subdivision) was issued on December 2"d, 1987.
The Special Use Permit archives (as well as our GIS records) show that Antler Point Road was intended for
public dedication to NCDOT for state maintenance and ownership. The Special Use Permit does not show a
private road.
Instead but a public road within a 60' right of way is dedicated to NCDOT. In order for Antler Point to
become a private road the Special Use Permit would need to be formally modified with the approval of the
permit issuing authority and the Richardson Subdivision Homeowner's Association.
If you need additional information please let me know, I can be reached at 918 -7332.
Sincerely,
Jeff Kleaveland
