9.1.1 Conformance with transportation plans. The location and design of streets shall be in conformance with any adopted transportation plan of the town. Where conditions warrant, right-of-way width and pavement width in excess of the minimum street standards may be required by the technical review committee. In any case where any part of a development lies within the corridor of a thoroughfare shown on an official Thoroughfare Map adopted pursuant to N.C.G.S. Chapter 136, Article 2E, no development approval shall be granted with respect to the property in the corridor.

9.1.2 Traffic impact analysis required. The requirement of a traffic impact analysis is intended to help mitigate the impacts of new development to existing and proposed roadways and intersections. This analysis provides a standard procedure to identify a development's expected traffic impacts on the road system and any potential issues with access to and from a site. As part of this analysis, recommendations will be made to improve development design to resolve these potential adverse traffic impacts and access issues.

A traffic impact analysis shall be submitted at the time of application for review of a preliminary subdivision plat, nonresidential or multifamily site plan, special use permit or a conditional rezoning.

All development that is expected to generate 1,000 or more vehicle trips to or from a site during a 24-hour period shall require a Traffic Impact Analysis. In addition, all development that is expected to generate 100 or more vehicle trips to or from the site during the peak traffic hour shall require a Traffic Impact Analysis.

The planning director may waive the requirement for a traffic impact analysis if the applicant shows that the proposed development's impact on adjacent roadways and intersections will be no more than those projected by a traffic impact analysis submitted within the past two years for the same site.

In addition to any roadway improvements that may be required by NCDOT, roadway improvements recommended by the Traffic Impact Analysis may be required for new development.

A.

Level of service standards.

1.

The traffic impact analysis must demonstrate that the proposed development will not cause peak-hour level of service on any adjacent roadway or at any intersection within the study area to fall below Level of Service (LOS) "D" as defined by the latest edition of the Transportation Research Board's Highway Capacity Manual, or where the level of service is LOS "E," that the proposed development would not cause the LOS to fall to a lower grade.

2.

If a road segment or intersection within the study area is LOS "F," the analysis must demonstrate that the proposed development, with any proposed improvements, would not cause build-out year peak-hour operation to decrease more than five percent of the total delay on any intersection approach.

3.

Proposed roadway access points within a development must be shown within the analysis to avoid unsafe conditions on adjacent roads and intersections.

4.

Failure to meet the standards of this section will require the developer to install any roadway or intersection improvements needed to correct the deficiencies identified in the analysis.

B.

Study area. A required traffic impact analysis must include the proposed development's traffic impact on the following:

1.

Roads and intersections within the development site.

2.

Road segments and intersections abutting the development site.

3.

Off-site road segments and intersections where traffic from the proposed development is expected to account for at least ten percent of the road's or intersection approach leg's average daily traffic.

C.

Qualifications. Any required traffic impact analysis shall be prepared by a licensed professional engineer.

D.

Study contents. A required traffic impact analysis must include charts, graphics and a written narrative to include at least the following information:

1.

A description of existing land uses and development densities, the location and characteristics (number of lanes, speed limit, signalization, etc.) of roads and intersections, and the existing traffic volumes and conditions (including level of service) of those roads and intersections within the study area.

2.

A description of the location and traffic-related characteristics (Land use, density, expected date of full build-out and occupancy, vehicular access points and characteristics, etc.) of the proposed development and other developments in the study area that are under construction, approved, or pending approval, as well as roadway and other transportation improvements in the study area that are under construction, programmed, or planned by NCDOT.

3.

Projections of future traffic at proposed and existing intersections and roadways which includes traffic forecasted to the development's build-out year levels as well as traffic generated by other development in the study area that is under construction, approved, or pending approval.

4.

Future site traffic projections must be made for the peak hours of the adjacent road segments and intersections for the development's expected full build-out, and must include trip generation, trip distribution and traffic assignment estimates;

5.

Analysis of the proposed development's impacts on road capacity during peak hours at all site access points and at road segments and intersections in the study area. This should include:

a.

Determining the level of service for those road segments and intersections as well as evaluating vehicle queuing and existing versus proposed vehicle storage.

b.

Determining the need for signalization of intersections in the study area.

c.

Evaluating existing or potential high accident areas and proposing improvement which may decrease the potential for accidents.

6.

An analysis of sight distances at proposed intersections.

7.

A description of the location, nature, and extent of site access and transportation improvements and other measures recommended to mitigate any failure to meet traffic operation standards due to the proposed development's traffic impacts, including the expected effectiveness of each mitigation measure in addressing deficiencies, the feasibility of implementing the measures, the measures' relationship to any other approved or planned transportation improvements, and a suggested time schedule for the implementation of the measures.

8.

Résumés of the preparers of the analysis, demonstrating specific education, training, and professional experience in traffic-related analyses and, if the analysis involves roadway or traffic signal design, traffic engineering.

9.

Identification of all assumptions and data sources used in its projections, analyses, and recommendations.

9.1.3 Blocks.

A.

The lengths, widths, and shapes of blocks shall be determined with due regard to: provision of adequate building sites suitable to the special needs of the type of use contemplated; zoning requirements; needs for vehicular and pedestrian circulation; control and safety of street traffic; limitations and opportunities of topography; and convenient access to water areas.

B.

Blocks shall not be less than 400 feet nor more than 1,200 feet in length. Where a longer block will reduce the number of railroad grade crossings, major stream crossings, or where longer blocks will result in less traffic through residential developments from adjoining business or industrial areas, the technical review committee may authorize block lengths in excess of 1,200 feet.

C.

Blocks shall have sufficient width to allow two tiers of lots of minimum depth except where single tier lots are required to separate residential development from through vehicular traffic or another type of use, in nonresidential developments, or where abutting a water area.

D.

Where deemed necessary by the administrator, a pedestrian crosswalk at least 15 feet in width may be required to provide convenient public access to a public area such as a park or school, to a water area, or to areas such as shopping centers, religious or transportation facilities.

9.1.4 Street design.

A.

In any new development, the street layout shall conform to the arrangement, width and location indicated by an official plan or map for the town. In areas for which such plans have not been completed, the streets shall be designed and located in proper relation to existing and proposed streets, to the topography, to such natural features as streams and tree growth, to public convenience and safety, and to the proposed use of land to be served by such streets as determined by the Administrator during preliminary plat or site plan review.

B.

Residential collector and local streets shall be laid out in a way that offers convenient access to existing and future neighboring developments. Streets shall be designed or walkways dedicated to assure convenient access to parks, playgrounds, schools, or other places of public assembly.

C.

Proposed streets should be adjusted to the contour of the land so as to produce usable lots.

9.1.5 Street construction standards. All new streets and street improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the latest edition of the Town of Angier Standard Specifications and Construction Details.

9.1.5.1 On-street parking. On-street parking shall be at least eight feet wide and 22 feet long and be marked on the pavement.

9.1.5.2 Sidewalks.

A.

Sidewalks shall be required along both sides of all streets to provide pedestrian linkages within and adjacent to nonresidential developments, multifamily developments, on collector streets, on major and minor thoroughfares, and in residential developments in the R-10 or R-6 zoning districts. Sidewalk shall be extended along the existing roadway on either side of the entrance to all new developments and should stub to the adjacent properties. Streets within the R-15 zoning district shall have sidewalks along one side. Developments located within the RA-30 zoning district and the Town of Angier's extraterritorial jurisdiction shall be exempt from sidewalk requirements unless one of the following conditions exists:

1.

The development is within ¼ mile of existing pedestrian system, or

2.

The development is within ¼ mile of city limits, or

3.

Sidewalks shall be required along the rights-of-way of a nonresidential development when the street is identified for future need by the Angier Pedestrian Plan. The sidewalk shall extend the entire length of the street frontage and stub out to each adjacent property.

D.

Sidewalks shall be constructed to a minimum width that meets American Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements.

E.

All sidewalks shall be placed in the right-of-way, and shall consist of a minimum of six inches of concrete at driveway crossings.

F.

Installation of all sidewalk at the entrance of subdivisions and along the adjacent road frontage, as well as sidewalk adjacent to all open space and other common areas within the subdivision shall be installed by the developer prior to plat recordation. Installation of sidewalk adjacent to individual lots within subdivisions may be bonded by the developer and completed by the builder as building permits are issued. In the event all of the required sidewalk within the subdivision is not completed within two years of the date of final plat approval, the developer shall be responsible for installing the remaining sidewalk. If the developer has not installed the remaining sidewalk within 90 days after the deadline above, the town may secure the bonded funds through any lawful method and facilitate the completion of remaining sidewalk.

9.1.5.3 Roadway improvements.

A.

Concrete curbs and gutters, that meet North Carolina Department of Transportation standards shall be constructed along both sides of all streets within all residential and nonresidential developments. Curbs and gutters should also be installed adjacent to the existing roadway along either side of the entrance to the development and should provide convenient access for future connection by adjacent development. Developments located within the RA-30 zoning district, specifically within the town's Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), shall be exempt from this requirement.

B.

Any new residential and nonresidential development located along the designated Highway 55 corridor, specifically from Lagenaria Drive to Old Buies Creek Road, shall comply with, and be constructed in accordance with the approved cross-sections located within the Town of Angier Standard Specifications and Construction Details, as applicable to the project's portion of adjacent right-of-way.

C.

For the purposes of these requirements, the "cross section" shall be an 80-foot right-of-way section, applicable along Highway 55 between Lagenaria Drive and Old Buies Creek Road. All proposed development adjacent to the Highway 55 corridor shall be responsible for dedicating the required portion of right-of-way in accordance with section 9.1.7.

D.

Roadway improvements, including, but not limited to, turning lanes, medians and planting strips may be required by the technical review committee (TRC). In addition to any roadway improvements that may be required by NCDOT, all roadway improvements recommended by the Traffic Impact Analysis shall be required for new development.

E.

It is the responsibility of the developer to take future roadway plans, of the town and NCDOT, into account when proposing a development. As a result of the driveway permit, additional improvements may be required by NCDOT.

9.1.5.4 Cul-de-sacs.

A.

As a feature of development design, cul-de-sacs should be discouraged and kept to a minimum.

B.

Culs-de-sac should not be used to avoid connection with an existing street or to avoid the extension of a proposed street to an adjacent property.

9.1.5.5 Alleys.

A.

Alleys shall be required to serve lots used for commercial and industrial purposes except that this requirement may be waived where other definite and assured provision is made for service access.

B.

The width of an alley shall be at least 20 feet.

C.

Dead-end alleys shall be avoided where possible, but if unavoidable, shall be provided with adequate turnaround facilities at the dead end as may be approved by the Technical Review Committee.

D.

Sharp changes in alignment and grade shall be avoided.

9.1.5.6 Sight distance. No planting, structure, sign, fence, wall, or obstruction greater than two feet in height shall be placed or maintained within the sight triangle. The following are the distances used to establish a sight triangle as measured from an intersecting right-of-way: ten feet by 70 feet

9.1.6 Access management, driveways, and connectivity.

9.1.6.1 Development access. At least two entry points shall be provided in proposed developments that contain 100 or more lots or dwelling units and to all lots within the development. The Technical Review Committee may allow other alternatives if the curb cuts for the two accesses cannot meet the minimum distance allowed according to NCDOT regulations at any location.

9.1.6.2 Restriction of access. Where a tract of land to be subdivided adjoins a principal arterial street, the developer may be required by the Technical Review Committee to provide a marginal access street parallel to the arterial street or reverse frontage on a minor street for the lots to be developed adjacent to the arterial. Where reverse frontage is established, private driveways shall be prevented from having direct access to the principal arterial.

9.1.6.3 Through traffic. Residential collector and local streets shall be laid out in such a way that they provide multiple connections to existing and future developments, disperse traffic, and maintain reduced speeds. Streets shall be designed or walkways dedicated to assure convenient access to parks, playgrounds, schools, or other places of public assembly.

9.1.6.4 Intersections.

A.

Where public and private streets intersect, the design standards of the NCDOT Division of Highways, Development Roads Minimum Construction Standards shall apply. An approved NCDOT Driveway permit is required for connection to any existing roadway within the state system. This permit is required prior to any construction on the street. The application is available at the office of the applicable district engineer of NCDOT.

B.

Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as possible at right angles, and no street shall intersect any other street at an angle less than 60 degrees.

C.

Offset intersections are to be avoided unless exception is granted by NCDOT. Intersections which cannot be aligned should be separated by a minimum length of 200 feet between survey center lines.

9.1.6.5 Connectivity.

A.

The proposed street layout shall be made according to good land planning practice for the type of development proposed and shall be coordinated with the street system of the surrounding areas. The arrangements of streets in new developments shall make provision for the continuation of the principal existing streets in adjoining developments or, when adjoining property is not developed, their proper projection insofar as they may allow for vehicular circulation in the future. The street and alley arrangement must be so designated as to cause no hardship to owners of adjoining property when they plat their own land and seek to provide for convenient access to it. When a new development adjoins undeveloped land, the new streets shall stub to the boundaries of the adjacent tract and a temporary turnaround provided, except where it is determined by the Technical Review Committee that certain streets may not be required to be so extended for one or more of the following reasons:

1.

Physical barriers or environmentally sensitive area be crossed (for example, railroad, watercourses, steep topography, wetlands or flood area).

2.

There is a large discrepancy in the size of the adjacent parcel (a smaller parcel being subdivided may not have to provide a stub to a much larger parcel, if other, more desirable, interconnections are available to the large parcel).

3.

The stub street would connect to property for which development rights have been sold for a public purpose and access to the property is not desirable for orderly development of the street network.

4.

The stub street would cause the existing roads to go over the design capacity on that portion of the street.

B.

Where a temporary turnaround is provided as required in subsection A., a sign shall be erected at the temporary turnaround that informs the public of the intended future connection of the street to future development.

9.1.7 Street names and signs.

A.

Proposed streets which are obviously in alignment with existing streets shall be given the same name. In assigning new names, duplication of existing names shall be avoided and in no case shall the proposed name be phonetically similar to existing names in the town or its planning area irrespective of the use of a suffix such as street, road, drive, place, court, etc.

B.

The town shall provide and erect street name signs at all intersections within the development. The town shall be reimbursed by the developer for the cost of the signs.

9.1.8 Right-of-way dedication.

A.

Proposed developments that adjoin existing streets maintained by either the town or NCDOT shall dedicate the additional street right-of-way necessary to meet the minimum width requirements for the type of classification of the adjoining street. The classification of proposed streets in new developments shall be approved by the Technical Review Committee, and right-of-way width shall be dedicated as shown in the town's current standards and specifications.

B.

When any part of the development is on both sides of an existing street, the entire minimum right-of-way shall be provided.

C.

When the development is located on only one side of an existing street, one-half of the minimum right-of-way, measured from the centerline of the existing street, shall be provided.

D.

The dedication requirements of this section shall not apply to residential subdivisions with five or fewer new lots and which front on existing streets that have already been accepted for maintenance by the town or NCDOT.

B.

Any property seeking connection to the Town of Angier public sewer system must first receive voluntary annexation approval. If the property is annexed, the property owner shall be responsible for installing any infrastructure necessary for connection to the sewer system, and all infrastructures shall be turned over to the town upon final acceptance from the town.

C.

Connection to Town of Angier public water and/or sewer systems is required when the closest portion of a proposed nonresidential structure or development is located within 1,000 feet of an existing town owned and operated system. The property owner shall be responsible for extending water or sewer to the proposed structure or development, and all extensions shall be turned over to the town upon final acceptance by the town.

D.

Connection to Town of Angier public water and/or sewer systems is required when a proposed residential structure or subdivision is located within that number of feet of an existing town owned and operated system which equals the product of the number of structures or lots within the subdivision (including lots to be developed in the future) multiplied by 100; provided however that the maximum distance required for connection shall be 5,000 feet. In such cases where the public water and/or sewer supply system is of insufficient capacity to permit the delivery of either water or sewer supply, the subject proposed structure or subdivision shall be relieved of the requirement to connect to such public system.

E.

Where public water and/or sewer systems are to be installed as part of the development improvements, such systems shall be constructed to provide tap-on stub-outs for each lot plotted in the development.

F.

Uses requiring an excess of 20,000 gallons per day of water or sewer usage shall be required to improve infrastructure capacity as determined by the town board of commissioners upon the recommendation of the town engineer.

G.

Where community water and/or sewer systems are to be installed as part of the development improvements, such systems shall be designed and installed in accordance with the standards and specifications of the county health department and/or the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources agency responsible for the approval of such systems.

H.

Prerequisite to final plat approval, all lots on the plat to be recorded must be certified in writing by the county health department to meet minimum standards for on-site water and/or sewer systems when either or both of such systems are proposed to be used.

For any required improvement that cannot be installed prior to final zoning inspection or final plat approval the following shall apply:

A.

In order to ensure compliance with this ordinance, in lieu of requiring the completion and installation of required improvements prior to occupancy or final plat recordation, the Town of Angier may enter into an agreement with the developer whereby the developer shall agree to complete all required improvements. To secure this agreement, the developer shall provide to the Town of Angier one of the following guarantees. The amount of such guarantee shall be equal to one and one-quarter times the cost of purchasing, installing, and completing all required improvements of this ordinance. All such guarantees shall be subject to the approval of the town and shall be made payable to the Town of Angier. The developer shall elect to provide either one or a combination of the following guarantees:

1.

Surety performance bond(s). The developer shall obtain a performance bond(s) from a surety company authorized to do business in North Carolina. The duration of the bond(s) shall be set one year from the date the bond is issued, unless the developer determines that the scope of work for the required improvements necessitates a longer duration.

2.

Cash or letter of credit. The developer shall deposit cash, an irrevocable letter of credit or other instrument readily convertible into cash at face value, either with the town or in escrow with a financial institution designated as an official depository of the Town of Angier. If cash or other instrument is deposited in escrow with a financial institution as herein provided, the developer shall then file with the Town of Angier an agreement between the financial institution and himself guaranteeing the following:

a.

That said escrow account shall be held in trust for one year, unless the developer determines that the scope of work for the required improvements necessitates a longer duration. The escrow account will be released by the town and may not be used or pledged by the developer in any matter during the term of the escrow; and

b.

That in the case of a failure on the part of the developer to complete said improvement, the financial institution shall, upon notification by the Town of Angier and submission by the Town of Angier to the financial institution of a landscape architect's estimate of the amount needed to complete the improvements, immediately either pay to the town the funds estimated to complete the improvements, up to the full balance of the escrow account, or deliver to the town any other instruments fully endorsed or otherwise made payable in full to the town.

B.

The developer shall demonstrate reasonable, good-faith progress toward completion of the required improvements that are secured by the performance guarantee or any extension. If the improvements are not completed to the specifications of the local government, and the current performance guarantee is likely to expire prior to completion of the required improvements, the performance guarantee shall be extended, or a new performance guarantee issued, for an additional period. An extension under this subdivision shall only be for a duration necessary to complete the required improvements. If a new performance guarantee is issued, the amount shall be determined by the procedure provided in Section A of this subsection and shall include the total cost of all incomplete improvements.

C.

Upon default, meaning failure on the part of the developer to complete the required improvements in a timely manner as spelled out in the performance bond, escrow agreement, or approved extension, then the surety, or the financial institution holding the escrow account, shall, if requested by the town, pay all or any portion of the bond or escrow fund to the Town of Angier up to the amount needed to complete the improvements based on a landscape architect's estimate. Upon payment, the town, in its discretion, may expend such portion of said funds as it deems necessary to complete all or any portion of the required improvements. The town shall return to the bonding firm any funds not spent in completing the improvements. Should the amount of funds needed to complete the installation of all required improvements exceed the amount in the bond or escrow account, the developer shall nonetheless be responsible for providing the funds to cover such costs. The developer shall at all times bear the financial burden for the installation of all required improvements. A lien shall be attached to the property if the developer fails to provide the full financial responsibility.

D.

The administrator shall authorize the release of a portion of any security posted as the improvements are completed and approved. Such funds shall then be released within ten days after the corresponding improvements have been so approved.
