§ 152.076  STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
   All proposed streets shall be graded to the full width of the right-of-way and improved with a pavement width and storm drainage section as required for the particular classification of street. All grading, pavement and curb and gutter (if provided) shall be designed and installed in accordance with town standards and the approved construction plan. (Note: The town has adopted NCDOT Construction Standards.) Where bridges are required, it shall be installed to fit the cross-section of the street classification. In addition, street paving and storm drainage, in accordance with the above conditions, shall be installed in the following situations.
   (A)   Any existing street segment that has not been accepted for maintenance by either the town or the state Department of Transportation, and that is to serve as the required frontage for one or more lots created pursuant to these regulations, shall be improved and dedicated to the public, as provided for above, in such a way that the street segment meets the standards of these regulations for the particular classification of street, including right-of-way width. The street segment shall be directly connected to the existing public street system by way of at least one public street accepted for maintenance by either the town or the State Department of Transportation. No subdivision shall be permitted on any street that is an island not connected directly to the public street system.
   (B)   Where a subdivision fronts on any existing street segment maintained by either the town or the State Department of Transportation and the street does not meet the minimum standards of these regulations for the classification of street, the subdivider shall improve the portion of street adjoining the subdivision to meet the minimum standards including construction and width. When the subdivision adjoins only one side of an existing street, one-half of the minimum right-of-way shall be provided, measured from the centerline of the street.
   (C)   The Board of Commissioners may require pavement and widening and storm drainage for turning lanes along any street that forms a significant entrance to a proposed development where in the opinion of the Board of Commissioners the improvements are necessary in order to provide for safe vehicular movement into and out of the proposed subdivision.
   (D)   Where a street is stubbed into adjoining property for future extension and the street serves as the frontage for one or more lots which are not corner lots, the Board of Commissioners may require the pavement of a temporary turn-around in a form similar to a cul-de-sac on the street where, in the Board of Commissioners’ opinion, the turn-around is necessary for the public convenience, safety and service.
   (E)   Private streets where permitted shall be constructed to State Department of Transportation standards for paved residential streets in a 50--foot right-of-way. Private streets where provided shall be subject to an owners’ association agreement that provides for assessment for maintenance.
