New Streets within Developments Outside of Sanford

All internal new streets constructed for new residential subdivisions within Lee County must be constructed to the technical standards of either NCDOT (North Carolina Dept. of Transportation) or the appropriate municipal jurisdiction's internal standards for new streets.  Typical street cross-sections and other technical specifications for new public streets can be obtained by contacting the appropriate field office for NCDOT (Division 8, District 2) by phone at 910-944-7621.  Additional contact information is available online at the district office's webpage.

Project managers or development representatives are required to submit a Street Name Request Form with the top three choices for a name for each new street associated with their approved development.  An overall site plan/street layout map with easily identified streets (labeled as "Street A", "Street B," etc.) should also be included with a street name request.

Street names must be reviewed and approved by Lee County GIS/Strategic Services before being assigned to a proposed new street, and that GIS-approved street name must be included on any recorded final plat associated with a new development.

Please submit a completed Street Name Request Form and correlating street network map to Angela Wood with Lee County GIS via email at: awood@leecountync.gov.  

Once street signs are approved, project representatives must submit a street marker request and payment for the signs to the appropriate jurisdiction for processing.  A copy of the receipt for payment must then be submitted to the Dept. of Community Development (zoning@sanfordnc.net) before the final plat can be recorded.
