Ben Wilson Road — SR 1140 NCDOT Petition Information for Abandonment (Partial) 5. Resolution Requesting Abandonment of Ben Wilson Road — SR 1140 (Partial) INFORMATION CONTACT: Abigaile Pittman, 245 -2567 Tom Altieri, 245 -2575 Craig Benedict, 245 -2585 PURPOSE: To make a recommendation to the North Carolina Department of Transportation ( NCDOT) and the North Carolina Board of Transportation (NC BOT) on a petition to add Ben Wilson Road Extension — SR 1140 (partial); and approve a resolution requesting the abandonment of Ben Wilson Road — SR 1140 (partial). BACKGROUND: Under NCDOT Project 44160, Wilson service road was constructed in 2014 to provide access to the Morinaga Candy Factory facility, and Ben Wilson Road was reconfigured to create a t- intersection with the service road. Wilson service road was approved by the BOCC at its January 22, 2015 meeting, and the NCDOT is now petitioning to add the extension of Ben Wilson Road — SR 1140 to the State Maintained Secondary Road System, and to abandon the original curved portion of Ben Wilson Road — SR 1140. The roads constructed as part of the NCDOT project will ultimately be a component of the larger access network serving economic development efforts in this area. Ben Wilson Road is located south of Wilson Road and Interstate 40/85 east of the Alamance County line (Attachment 1). The right -of -way for the extended portion of Ben Wilson Road to be added to the State System was dedicated by Plat 112 Page 174 in May, 2014 (Attachment 2). The road has been built to a public road standard. The driveway permits for the reconfiguration of the intersection of Ben Wilson Road and Wilson Road, and for access to the Morinaga facility from Wilson Road, were handled by NCDOT and the City of Mebane. P� The right -of -way for the portion of Ben Wilson Road to be abandoned and removed from the State System is also depicted on Plat 112 Page 174 (Attachment 2). The related right - of -way was acquired at a number of different times and by various methods starting with acquisition for the original interstate construction project. Request for Ben Wilson Road Extension (Partial) Addition NCDOT initiated the request for addition and has submitted a petition to the BOCC for its recommendation (Attachment 3). 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. The petitioned portion of Ben Wilson Road and its respective length and width is as follows: Road Name Length in Miles No. of Lots with Pavement/Right -of- Frontage way Widths in Feet Ben Wilson Road 0.03 0 24/60 The road was located in Orange County's zoning and subdivision jurisdiction when it was constructed, and was subsequently annexed by the City of Mebane. The road was built to a public road standard. Request for Ben Wilson Road (Partial) Abandonment NCDOT initiated the request for abandonment and has submitted a petition to the BOCC for its recommendation (Attachment 4). In accordance with North Carolina General Statute §136 -63, the BOCC is required to make a recommendation regarding petitions for abandonment of roads to the North Carolina Board of Transportation ( NCBOT) before NCDOT can consider the petition. The petitioned portion of Ben Wilson Road and its respective length and width is as follows: Road Name Length in Miles No. of Lots with Pavement/Right -of- Frontage way Widths in Feet Ben Wilson Road 0.09 0 24/60 In requesting the NCBOT to abandon this portion of Ben Wilson Road, the BOCC must find that it would be in the public interest. The pavement has already been removed by NCDOT. FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact to the County associated with this item other than staff time. NCDOT will incur additional maintenance and removal responsibilities and costs. 3 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 Ben Wilson Road Extension — SR 1140 (partial); 2. Recommend the NCDOT accept the roads for maintenance as State Secondary Roads; and 3. Adopt the Resolution requesting that the NCDOT execute abandonment of SR1140 — Ben Wilson Road (Partial) (Attachment 5).
