SUBJECT: Request for Addition to the State Highway System: Jacob Mott Drive, Glenn Ellen Road,
Garret Lea Parke, King David Court, and Gilboa Court located within the Village at Motts
Landing Subdivision in New Hanover County (1320-N).
Dear Mr. Tripp:
This office has investigated your request to add the petitioned roads to the State System for
maintenance and based upon our investigation we have concluded that a denial is warranted at this
time.
Although the subdivision has preliminary plan approval, a certified recorded plat, and corresponding
built to standards letters, it was determined that there were some deficiencies as stated in the attached
deficiency letter, dated February 24, 2025. The 90-day period for deficiency corrections has expired.
Generally, the Department does not complete a re-inspection until such time as we are notified that all
the deficiencies have been corrected. As this office has not been informed that these items have been
corrected, we must deny your petition at this time. If in the future these deficiencies are corrected, the
Department will be glad to reconsider a new petition submittal.
We regret that our response to your request is not more favorable. Should you have any questions, or if
we can be of further assistance to you, please contact our office.
Sincerely,
Nick K. Drees, Engineering Specialist
