NCDOT:
It is the Applicant’s responsibility to coordinate directly with NCDOT to determine if any driveway permits/ revisions/ review processes are required. Contact NCDOT at 910. 251.2655. Please note additional comments may be forthcoming once coordination occurs.
TECHNICAL STANDARDS – ACCESS (driveway, sidewalk, and sight distance):
1. The Signing and Marking Detail shows one Stop Sign at the intersection of Stone Crop Drive and Chippenham Drive.
