New Development

Responsibilities


The Engineering Department provides the following typical services for new development:

Driveway Permits and Encroachment Agreements


  • For Driveway Permits on Town-Maintained Roads
    • Complete the TOFV Application for Building Permit (PDF) (Complete applicable information only)
    • Two copies of the plot plan. The plot plan must be drawn to scale and show the proposed driveway and existing utilities.
    • Application and plot plans shall be submitted to the Inspections Department for processing. Issuance of a building permit signifies that the driveway has been permitted for construction and inspections. 
    • Note: For driveways associated with new development (Site Plans and Subdivision Plans), driveways are permitted through development review and building permit issuance.  
  • For Utility Encroachments on Town-Maintained Roads
  • For Driveway Permits and Encroachment Agreements on NCDOT-Maintained Roads:
    • Complete NCDOT required forms. For NCDOT questions, please contact NCDOT, Division 5, District 1
    • For Site Plans and Subdivision Plans for New Development, submit forms with development review package to the Planning Department
    • For encroachments not associated with development review, such as for dry utilities and residential driveways, please submit NCDOT forms and a plan for proposed encroachments to Hannah Shaw at hshaw@fuquay-varina.org.
    • Once driveway permits and encroachments are signed by the Town Engineering Director, they may be submitted to NCDOT.
