12. Consideration of a Policy for Acceptance of Roads into the Town's System of <br /> Public Roadways <br /> City Engineer Richard Chiu addressed Council. Council had before them in their packet <br /> a proposed policy regarding the acceptance of roads into the Town's system of Public <br /> Roadways. <br /> Chiu reviewed the pertinent section of the Town's General Plan Circulation Element that <br /> identified the Town's goal to maintain quiet residential roads and to assume responsibility <br /> for private roads only when they have met the Town standards and where all necessary <br /> dedications had been offered by adjacent property owners. <br /> The intent of the proposed policy before Council was to formalize the current unwritten <br /> policy for the process of accepting an existing road into the Town's Road System. <br /> Council discussion ensued. Council concurred that the proposed policy was appropriate <br /> and followed the direction of the General Plan. The policy stated: <br /> 1. Roads shall meet current Town and Fire Department Standards prior to being <br /> eligible for acceptance into the Town's Road System. <br /> 2. A plan shall be prepared by a registered civil engineer showing the existing <br /> conditions of the road, Right-Of-Way, and all necessary proposed improvements <br /> to meet current Town and Fire Department Standards. <br /> ® 3. Roads that have future pathways indicated on the Town's Pathway Master Plan <br /> shall have the pathway constructed as part of the improvements necessary to bring <br /> the road up to current Town Standards. <br /> 4. Bridges on the road shall also comply with the current Town and Fire Department <br /> standards. <br /> 5. The cost for all necessary improvements and fees to bring the road up to current <br /> standards shall be paid by the residents who own the road in a manner that is <br /> determined by the residents involved. <br /> 6. Improvement work shall be inspected by the Town and approved by the City <br /> Engineer. <br /> 7. Roads will be added to the Town's Road System following acceptance by the City <br /> Council and recordation of necessary documents with the County Recorders <br /> Office. <br /> MOTION SECONDED AND CARRIED: Moved by Mordo, seconded by Kerr and <br /> passed unanimously to adopt the policy for the "Acceptance of Roads into the Town's <br /> System of Public Roadways" as provided in the Council packet. <br /> 9 Regular City Meeting Minutes <br /> April 10,2008 <br />
