Page 4 of 7 Fellsmere Road Maintenance Workshop For June 27, 2016 Option 2: Grading of certain unpaved roads not currently maintained by the County. Grade certain unpaved roads located in the unincorporated area of Fellsmere that meet an established percentage of developed lots without additional funding for maintenance regardless of approval/consent of all adjacent property owners where stormwater runoff is directed to the adjacent properties and where the unpaved road is located outside of the FWCD drainage right-of-way. Staff recommends a percentage of 66 2/3% in keeping with the current percentage established for other programs for road paving and petition millings programs. There will be an additional cost for material to bring the roadway up to minimum standards and the cost for obtaining those portions of the roadway located outside 6f the right-of-way. Depending upon the number of roads that meet this criteria, this option could be implemented without the immediate need to add a grader route. At some point, as more roads are added to the grading schedule, the additional grader route would need to be established. The timing of this change would depend upon the pace of development of the general area. To ensure public safety, the application of the FDOT Manual of Uniform Minimum Standards for Design, Construction, and Maintenance for Streets and Highways (Green Book Standards) to all roadways that are currently not maintained by the County will be necessary. Option 3: Create a Municipal Services Taxing Unit (MSTU) or Municipal Services Benefit Unit (MSBU) for all properties on unpaved roads within the Fellsmere area: • Create MSTU boundary area and establish the number of participating properties. • Public Works staff shall evaluate all unpaved roads to compile an estimated cost to improve the unpaved roads to acceptable public safety and maintenance levels per Florida Green Book Standards. This includes analysis and permitting to direct stormwater runoff into the FWCD ditch system rather than onto private property for the roadways that are not currently maintained by the County. • Perform survey on all unpaved roads to establish the actual location of the existing unpaved roads with respect to the available FWCD drainage right-of-way. • Obtain right-of-way from each property owner for all sections of existing unpaved roadways that are outside of the FWCD right-of-way and that are not currently maintained by the County. • File maintenance maps for all sections of existing unpaved roadways that are outside of the FWCD right-of-way that are currently maintained by the County for the minimum statutory period. • Obtain authority from each property owner to direct stormwater runoff from the unpaved roadway onto private property. • This option will require the addition of another grader, equipment operator, material, and equipment operating costs which are approximately $165,626.00 for the first year plus the cost of material to improve the unpaved roadways to Florida Green Book Standards and the cost of obtaining any necessary right-of-way. The cost for additional material on roadways that are not currently maintained by the County will depend on the Fellsmere Water Control Districts policy for directing the stormwater runoff into the FWCD ditches rather than onto private property. • To ensure public safety, the application of the FDOT Manual of Uniform Minimum Standards for Design, Construction, and Maintenance for Streets and Highways (Green Book Standards) to all roadways that are currently not maintained by the County will be necessary.
