� ® r <br />ROAD PAVING <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 10/24/85: <br />TO: The Honorable Members DATE: October 24, 1985 FILE: <br />of the Board of <br />County Commissioners and <br />Planning'& Zoning Commission <br />SUBJECT: <br />ROAD PAVING <br />Robert M. Keating, AICP� <br />Director <br />Planning & Development Division <br />FROM:James W. Davis REFERENCES: <br />Director /� <br />It is requested that the following information be given formal <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners and the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission at their 'special joint workshop <br />meeting of October 31, 1985. <br />ISSUE <br />One major issue facing Indian River County at this time <br />involves road paving. As the County continues to urbanize, <br />the decision as to whether proposed developments are required <br />to provide paved access to their sites is more important than <br />ever. It is necessary for the Board of County Commissioners <br />to set a standard policy applicable to all proposed develop- <br />ments, both site plans and subdivisions, regarding the re- <br />quirements for paving roads which are located off-site. <br />BACKGROUND <br />Indian River County has approximately 600 miles of road. Of <br />those, 200 miles are paved. That leaves more than 400 miles <br />of road currently unpaved. Some of these are existing dirt, <br />shell, or marl roads; others are trails or grassed paths; many <br />are nothing more than lines on maps. Throughout the County, <br />the ownership of both paved and unpaved roads vary. In some <br />cases the County has clear undisputed title to road <br />rights-of-way. In many cases, however, the amount of <br />right-of-way may be inadequate or may not exist at all. Where <br />the County is and has been maintaining roads for which it has <br />no clear title for the right-of-way, the County may have the <br />ability to acquire the right-of-way by filing a maintenance <br />map. <br />A number of the unpaved roads `in the unincorporated area are <br />currently maintained by the County Public Works Department. <br />Primarily, this maintenance involves grading the roads on a <br />regular basis. This is an activity which is affected by <br />rainfall and the utilization of a road. Basically, the more <br />trips over an unpaved road, the more demand for regular <br />maintenance and the more cost to the County. <br />Not all unpaved roads are located in the less developed, <br />western part of the County. Such roads exist in all zoning <br />district classifications and all land use designations. While <br />many serve local traffic to rural residences, others service <br />commercial and industrial uses within designated nodes, <br />commercial corridors, and MXD areas. These roads, in particu- <br />lar, often either currently experience or have the potential <br />to experience a high volume of traffic. <br />W <br />BOOK 62", 6 1 <br />A <br />
