Fr - <br />MAR <br />61985 <br />BOOK <br />6 0 <br />PA,E 87 <br />was popular <br />for local roads, we saw the possibility of <br />using <br />this <br />program for collector road paving on the same basis. We did, <br />however, recognize that collector roads are used more by the <br />general public,.and, therefore, the County's share should be <br />greater than for local roads. Accordingly, the County's share <br />was raised from the 25% contributed for local roads, to 50% for <br />collector roads. Director Davis felt this is an equitable way to <br />• get some of these unpaved roads off the maintenance system, and <br />it eventually will result in a savings to the community. <br />Commissioner Bird asked if we have done any paving of <br />collector roads other than the petition type. <br />Director Davis stated that previously the County staff <br />looked at the total system and, based on traffic county analysis <br />and engineering studies, prioritized areas under a five year work <br />program, which was sent to the Board for approval. The only road <br />similar to this - R. D. Carter Road - was paved 3 to 4 years ago, <br />prior to this program, and it was much easier to pave due to <br />wider rights-of-way and no oak trees. <br />Commissioner Scurlock believed the key is that in the last 3 <br />to 4 years, we have formed the Transportation Planning Committee <br />and have developed specific criteria as to how to develop the <br />roads and assess a fair impact fee. He believed the decision the <br />Commission makes today will be quite far reaching. <br />Commissioner Bird concurred that what this is all about is <br />fairness, but determining how much is used by the public and <br />local residents can vary. He did believe, in this particular <br />case, Meuller Center may draw more public traffic, and asked if <br />we have any data to draw from to determine this. <br />Director Davis stated that at this point we are talking <br />about 25-30 homes which each generate 8 - 10 trips a day. As the <br />total 150 acres develops, then the demand from the benefited area <br />would be more substantial. Right now, there are about 1,000 - <br />1,500 vehicles a day using this road. <br />46 <br />_I <br />
