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

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

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.

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).
