JUN 19 1990 BOOK X46 dedicated roads states, "However, nothing in here shall be con- structed as creating an obligation upon any -governing body -to perform any act of construction or maintenance within such ded- icated areas except when the obligation is voluntarily assumed by the governing body". The key words here are "voluntarily assumed". Does that mean when you have accepted the plat or when you have issued the building permit? Attorney O'Brien was concerned about a situation that might arise if someone were to drive on.one of these ungraded roads at night thinking it was a regularly maintained road and all of a sudden hit a large pothole. He had discussed this with Jim Davis, but, as you say, there are hundreds of miles of unpaved roads in the county. Commissioner Bird felt'this is the first of many requests that we will be receiving to either pave or maintain these roads now building is increasing and affordable, small building lots are becoming scarce in the county. Chairman Eggert stated that she gets extra concerned when we are in a family subdivision that is close to a school. Commissioner Bird agreed with the Motion to go ahead with Alternate #1, but felt we need to restudy our policy on these roads. Administrator Chandler advised that he would go back and take another look at it. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION, which is to deny the request to add 12th Court S.W. to the grading route, and recommend to the property owner that the residents of the area petition the County to pave the road under the County's petition paving program. The Motion was voted on and carried unanimously (4-0, Chairman Scurlock being absent.) 20
