Nelson, REFERENCESI)lvalter E. Cox to Indian River Coon - <br />County Administrator Commission dated august 26, 1981 <br />2)Chester Clem toNeil Nelson P <br />Se t. <br />DESCRIPTION AMU CONDITIONS <br />Mr. Walter E. Cox, Realtor, is requesting that the County assume <br />maintenance of 104th Avenue between 89th Street and 92nd Street. This <br />road was dedicated to the County about 30 years ago, but it has not <br />been accepted for maintenance. The County Attorney has rendered the <br />opinion that the County is not obligated to maintain the approximate <br />70 miles of previously unmaintained road in Vero Lake Estates and <br />other similar areas of the County. Many of these roads are barely <br />passable and many have trees within the roadway area. To clear and <br />maintain these roads would cost a significant amount. <br />Mr. Cox, representing other owners in the area, has stated that <br />the affected owners will agree to improve the road to bring it up to <br />the conditions of surrounding County maintained unimproved roads. <br />The County Engineering Department has inspected the Road and a <br />numerical evaluation performed. (copy attached) <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Two alternatives are presented for consideration by the Board: <br />Alternative No.l <br />Deny this request based upon the following: <br />1) The numerical evaluation totaled 55 based on a 18S point <br />system. <br />2) Current County standards call for an Asphalt Surface <br />placed on a 6" limerock or Soil Cement Base. <br />The impact.denial of this request would have includes consideration <br />of denying building permits to owners of lots in areas of unma.intained, <br />dedicated roads. <br />Alternative No.2 <br />Approve acceptance only if the road is paved in accordance <br />with current County Standards. The impact this alternative would <br />have includes minimal construction and maintenance cost to the County. <br />RECOMMENDATIONS AND FUNDING <br />It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners accept <br />maintenance of 104th Avenue between 89th Street and 92nd Street only <br />if the road is paved/constructed to current County Standards. <br />o C T 211981 <br />41 80 OK 4 <br />.7 PAGE 81-4 <br />
