Chairman Scurlock opened the public hearing and asked if <br />anyone wished to be heard regarding the paving of the three <br />streets listed above. <br />Albert Gilda, 266 21st Avenue, asked when 21st Avenue will be <br />paved, and Public Works Director Jim Davis explained that a <br />developer who is developing some lots between 21st Avenue and 22nd <br />Avenue may want to move ahead faster than our crews can schedule <br />it and may have a contract do it; however, the contract would be <br />with the County. Director Davis anticipated that the roads will <br />be completed sometime this summer. <br />Mr. Gilda complained about a lot of dirt and rubbish in there <br />which they feel is a hazard, and Director Davis advised that staff <br />will look into the matter and if it is creating a hazard, the <br />County will be glad to remove it. However, if the piles are on <br />private lots, staff will contact Mr. Mitchell, the contractor, and <br />see if we can get that cleaned up. <br />Robert Horton, 310 21st. Street, pointed out that there are <br />piles and piles of debris waiting to be hauled away, plus loads <br />and loads of fill to be brought in to develop these lots. He <br />asked if the paving was to be timed so that the majority of that <br />work would be done before it is paved, or would the streets be <br />paved first and subject to.all the heavy construction traffic. <br />Director Davis explained that we have a situation where one <br />side of both 21st Avenue and 22nd Avenue is being platted into <br />single family lots, and if those roads are paved this summer, the <br />chances are that most of the homes will be built- after that time. <br />There will be a lot of heavy equipment on the roads once they are <br />paved, but if the the paving is delayed until all those lots are <br />built upon, that may take a couple of years. <br />Commissioner Bird pointed out that in most cases, the roads <br />are paved before a subdivision is built out. The developer paves <br />the roads, and then the houses go up. <br />Mr. Horton asked who is responsible for long time maintenance <br />of the roads, and Director Davis said that the County would be <br />�►Y 1� <br />16 <br />��Q� P F � jr �A <br />
