Land Development Ordinance - Amended 4-2-2024

a. Location & Extension

A stub street shall be located in such a manner to allow reasonable connection with adjacent property and the elimination or minimization of environmental constraints and topographic conditions. The inclusion of a stub street without regard for environmental constraints, topographic conditions, or does not demonstrate a reasonable connection shall be prohibited.

b. Railroad Right-of-Way

Stub streets to adjacent railroad right-of-way are prohibited unless required by the Town and approved by the railroad having jurisdiction over the railroad right-of-way.

c. Temporary Turnarounds

A temporary turnaround shall be provided and improved to allow emergency and service vehicles the ability to turn around at the end of a stub street greater than 150 feet in length and shall be constructed in accordance with the Town’s Standard Specifications & Construction Details.

(1) Applicability. A temporary turnaround shall be required whether the stub street is located at the boundary of or internal to a development.

(2) Temporary Easement. A temporary easement shall be provided for all improved areas related to a required temporary turnaround. Such easement shall be recorded with the Wake County Register of Deeds and shall remain in place until such time that a public right-of- way connection to the stub street is made and accepted by the Town. (3) Conflict with Buffer. Where the stub street necessitates location of a temporary turnaround in a buffer, required by Article O Landscaping & Tree Protection, no buffer installation shall be required where the temporary turnaround is located. (4) Maintenance. The developer shall be responsible for maintenance of the temporary turnaround; however, the developer may delegate responsibility of maintenance to a properly established homeowners’ association where documentation of such is provided to the Town prior to delegation of maintenance.
