eoo,. 13 r-Au 584 to meet private road standards. Private road standards require a travel way width of 16' of stone and a 50' right-of-way, with appropriate ditches and slopes. Mrs. Southern would dedicate the 50' right-of-way to a property owners' association consisting of the Southerns and those individuals owning the property to the rear of the Southerns' property. Mrs. Southern's attorney will draft the property owners' association agreement which will resolve an issue for a road that could present problems later. Commissioner Wicker asked if the 50' right-of-way would feed into a 60' right-of-way. Mr. Barefoot stated that Gatewood Subdivision has a 60' right-of-way, however, the NC DOT accepts a 50' right-of-way. All secondary roads are accepted by the NC DOT with 50' rights-of-way. Since there are fees involved in the preparation of the property owners' association agreement and the map corrections, Mr. Barefoot requested that the Board of Commissioners acknowledge that they will approve the final plans of this variance request when the Planning Board officially presents the request to them at a later date. Chairman Stafford stated that Southern Road would end in a cul-de-sac and is not foreseen as an interconnecting road. Consideration of this request would benefit the current residences abutting to the property in question, enhancing their property, as well as the Southerns' property. Commissioner Paschal asked if the property owners of Gatewood Subdivision are in full agreement with this request. Mr. Barefoot stated that five of the property owners attended the meeting and indicated that there would be no problems with the request. Commissioner Wicker asked if the State will be requested to build the road. Mr. Barefoot stated that the Southerns agreed to dedicate the rights-of-way as a private road serving their property and the Gatewood Subdivision property owners. As a part of this agreement , a maintenance agreement will be required by all property owners. Commissioner Wicker asked if the State will be requested to build the road. Mr. Barefoot stated that the property owners will build and maintain the road. Commissioner Hall moved to adopt the recommendation of the Planning Board to grant a variance from the Subdivision Ordinance to allow one two-acre lot to be created, which is less than the three-acre requirement, and to accept the existing standards of Southern Road, which does not meet the Ordinance's requirements of private roads, with the anticipation of final approval at a later date. Commissioner Reives seconded the motion, and upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Cox, Hall, Matthews, Paschal, Reives, Stafford, and Wicker Nay: None The Chairman ruled the motion adopted unanimously. 7
