PURPOSE: To make a recommendation to the North Carolina Department of Transportation
(NCDOT) and the North Carolina Board of Transportation (NC BOT) concerning a petition to add
Sehon Circle and Lucia Lane to the State Maintained Secondary Road system and remove a
portion of Tinnin Road (SR 1313) from that same State system. These roads are located with the
Tinnin Woods Subdivision in Orange County’s jurisdiction.
BACKGROUND: This request includes an NCDOT petition for two (2) road additions to the State
Maintained Secondary Road System. The road lengths and widths are as follows:
Road Name Length in
Miles
Number of Frontage
Lots with Houses
Pavement and Right-of-Way
Widths in Feet
Sehon Circle 0.05 9 22-ft pavement, 50-ft Right-of-Way
Lucia Lane 0.05 7 22-ft pavement, 50-ft Right-of Way
Total 16
The petition also includes a NCDOT petition for one (1) partial deletion from the State Maintained
Secondary Road System. The road length and width are as follows:
Road Name Length in
Miles
Number of Frontage
Lots with Houses
Pavement and Right-of-Way

removed)

The Tinnin Woods Subdivision is located in Orange County along School House Road (SR 1314),
Fuller Road (SR 1315) and Tinnin Road (SR1313), and located north of US Highway 70 West
(Attachments 1 and 2). This single-family residential subdivision is within Orange County’s
Planning Jurisdiction. Per North Carolina General Statutes §136-62, the Board of County
Commissioners (BOCC) is the appropriate governing body to approve the road addition and
deletion requests associated with the subdivision. There are no known violations associated with
the subdivision.
The Tinnin Woods Subdivision was recorded on September 22, 2014 (Plat Book 113 Pages 100-
101) (Attachment 3). Sehon Circle and Lucia Lane were intended, designed, and constructed to
become public roads. The required conditions have now been met for NCDOT maintenance
responsibility and ownership criteria, as reflected on the recorded plat. A portion at the end of
Tinnin Road does not meet those criteria and has been deemed unnecessary for retention in the
State maintenance system (Attachment 5).
NCDOT has investigated this request and has submitted a petition to the BOCC for its
recommendation (Attachments 4 and 5). North Carolina General Statutes §136-62 and §136-
102.6 require that road petitions for additions and deletions to the state system be made by the
governing body (i.e. Orange County).
Conclusion: The above-referenced 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 subdivision process (NCDOT Subdivision Roads Minimum
Construction Standards, January 2010, revised July 2020).
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no direct financial impact to the County associated with this item.
NCDOT will incur additional maintenance responsibilities and costs.
ALIGNMENT WITH STRATEGIC PLAN: This item supports:
GUIDING PRINCIPLE – STEWARDSHIP AND ADVOCACY
We make proactive data supported decisions and advocate to local, state, and Federal
governments in response to our community’s needs in a way that best utilizes our
resources.
GUIDING PRINCIPLE – PARTNERSHIP AND COLLABORATION
We build meaningful relationships and connections that allow us to create holistic and
integrated systems of support for all.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board:
1. Forward the petition for addition to the State Maintained System to the NCDOT for Sehon
Circle and Lucia Lane;
2. Forward the petition for deletion from the State Maintained System to NCDOT for a portion of
Tinnin Road; and
3. Recommend the Department of Transportation accept the road additions and deletion for
maintenance as State Secondary Roads.
