Vicinity Maps of Ashwick Drive, Glenwick Lane, Norwich Court, Farnswick Place, Chadwick Lane, and Benwich Lane in Ashwick Subdivision 2. Ashwick Subdivision Final Plats for Phases 1, 2, 3 and 4 3. Ashwick Subdivision Petition Information INFORMATION CONTACT: Abigaile Pittman, 245 -2567 Tom Altieri, 245 -2575 Michael Harvey, 245 -2597 Craig Benedict, 245 -2585 PURPOSE: To make a recommendation to the North Carolina Department of Transportation ( NCDOT), and the North Carolina Board of Transportation ( NCBOT) on a petition to add six (6) subdivision roads in Ashwick Subdivision to the State Maintained Secondary Road System. BACKGROUND: In accordance with North Carolina General Statute §136 -62, the BOCC is required to make a recommendation regarding petitions for addition of roads to the North Carolina Board of Transportation ( NCBOT) before NCDOT can consider the petition. This request includes a petition for six (6) road additions to the State Maintained Secondary Road System. The roads and their respective lengths and widths are as follows: Road Name Length in Miles No. of Lots with Frontage Pavement/Right-of- way Widths in Feet Ashwick Drive 0.31 7 20/50 Glenwick Lane 0.10 8 18/50 Norwich Court 0.07 5 18/50 Farnswick Place 0.04 6 18/50 Chadwick Lane 0.09 11 18/80 Benwich Lane 0.19 7 18/50 TOTALS 0.80 44 N/A 2 Ashwick Subdivision is located in the Efland- Mebane corridor, north of US 70, west of Efland -Cedar Grove Road and east of Richmond Road (Attachment 1). There are two final plats recorded for the subdivision. The final plat for Phases 1 & 2 was recorded on December 27, 2002; and the final plat for Phases 3 & 4 was recorded on July 3, 2006 (Attachment 2). The roads in Ashwick are private roads in the interim, but pursuant to the adopted subdivision, intended to be public roads when conditions meet NCDOT maintenance responsibility and ownership criteria and therefore were constructed to public road standards. A total of 0.80 mile of roads in the subdivision, providing access for 44 lots, is being petitioned for addition to the State Maintained Secondary Road System. All roads have a right -of -way width of 50 feet, and a pavement width ranging from 18 to 20 feet. All of the roads are located in Orange County's zoning and subdivision jurisdiction. The developer /homeowners have built and maintained the roadway to a public road standard. NCDOT has investigated this request and has submitted a petition to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) for its recommendation (Attachment 3). Straywick Court There is one cul -de -sac in Ashwick Subdivision that has not been included for addition to the State Maintained Secondary Road System — Straywick Court. The homeowners association proposed the cul -de -sac for public road dedication, but it was denied. NCDOT states that Straywick Court does not meet the following requirement that must be satisfied for addition of subdivision streets to the State system: • There must be at least two occupied residences for each one tenth of a mile. A minimum of four occupied homes is required for the addition of roads less than two tenths of a mile in length. If four occupied homes are not served, it will be considered a private drive. An exception may be made if a cul -de -sac less than two tenths of a mile in length serves at least four platted lots, and has four occupied homes that abut the road. A minimum of two homes must have primary access to the cul -de -sac. Per Chuck Edwards, NCDOT District Engineer, the following is a summary of NCDOT's actions relative to Straywick Court: In December 2001, the NCDOT District 7 office reviewed and approved the Ashwick Subdivision street construction plans. As part of this review, staff is required to confirm that sufficient buildable lots are present to meet the above requirements. The approved plan in 2001 indicated that Straywick Court served four (4) lots, thus satisfying the requirement. In June of 2006, the developer presented a plat to the District 7 office for review and certification of minimum NCDOT standards. Upon review, staff noted that the number of residential lots shown abutting Straywick Court had been reduced to three (3). District staff notified the developer that this configuration did not meet the above requirements 3 and, as such, would not be eligible for addition. District staff encouraged the developer to reconfigure the lots such that it would be eligible. The developer indicated that the change was necessary to meet open space requirements and that it was not feasible to add a fourth lot and he advised NCDOT that he wished to proceed with recording the plat as submitted. A note indicating that Straywick Court was not eligible for State maintenance in the current configuration was added to the plat under the District Engineer Certification and the plat was subsequently recorded (Book 100, Page 36). In September 2013, the NCDOT received a petition for road addition from the homeowners association (HOA). Staff performed an investigation of the streets and provided correspondence identifying all administrative items and necessary repairs that were required to be completed by the petitioner prior to addition of the streets. The HOA was again notified that Straywick Road was not eligible for addition. The HOA acknowledged this and proceeded with the necessary items for addition of the remaining streets. The HOA has gone to significant effort and expense to meet the requirements for addition. Upon satisfactory completion of these items, NCDOT staff prepared the road addition package and forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) for consideration prior to sending to the State Board of Transportation (BOT) for approval, which is pending at this time. Conclusion The application meets the criteria endorsed by the BOCC for recommending acceptance of public roads into the State Maintained System for roads approved through the governing jurisdiction's major subdivision process ( NCDOT Subdivision Roads Minimum Construction Standards, January 2010). FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact to the County associated with this item. NCDOT will incur additional maintenance responsibilities and costs. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: 1. Forward the Petition for Addition to the State Maintained System to the North Carolina Department of Transportation for Ashwick Drive, Glenwick Lane, Norwich Court, Farnswick Place, Chadwick Lane, and Benwich Lane in Ashwick Subdivision; and 2. Recommend the North Carolina Department of Transportation accept the roads for maintenance as State Secondary Roads.
