CABARRUS -COUNTY V~_~!' '" ':'/ CONCORD, NORTH CAROLINA 28025 ~MO~ND~: TO: Charles D. McGinnis/County Manage~ FROM: W.S. Chandler, Jr./Director of Planning SUBJECT: Fairway Drive; Foxlaire Subdivision DATE: November 5, 1979 At the time Mr. Morris came into the office we had several in- depth discussions on his proposed subdivision, Foxlaire, prior to the submission of a preliminary plat. The preliminary plat of Foxlaire subdivision; sections 1-4 was approved on March 8, 1979 at the Planning Board meeting but as the final improvements, eg; street paving, etc., still had to be completed, the final plat was not approved until September 12, 1979. The plat was recorded in the Register of Deeds office on September 14, 1979 with the name of Belshire Drive, approved by the Planning Department, being the principal street running through the subdivision. During pre-planning disucssions of the preliminary plat, ~. Morris expressed the desire to name the street in question, Fairway Drive. After being informed that the name of Fairway was deceptively similar to other roads in the County, eg; Fairveiw Street, Fairbluff Road, and that these older established roads would take precedence over any new road name he selected the name, Belshire. (Department of Transportation District Engineer, b~. T. L. Patterson, indicated that these roads were on the system since July 1, 1931 at the time the state took over maintenance of roads in the County). As the 1973 General Statutes #153A-240, specifically dis-allows deceptively similar street names, the name Fairway was determined to be similar to other official names in the County and therefore was required to be ineligible for assignment for a new street. As Mr. Morris had never filed a recorded plat, nor referred to the street in any deed as Fairway Dive, the name Fairway Drive can only be ass~ned to be a name arbitrarily chosen with no official sanction.
