E-5 LATIMER STREET-- PETITION <br /> Ms. Susan Smith presented details of the residents' request to the Board of <br /> Commissioners (see the abstract attached to and part of these Minutes on page.#,0 1�3 6 <br /> of this book). Mr. Larry Carter, spokesman for the residents, told the Board <br /> that since none of the residents owned the property that fronted on the unpaved <br /> 2/10 mile of Latimer Street they felt they should not have to pay for its being <br /> paved under any of the NC DOT's paving programs (for example, Participatory <br /> Paving Program or Property Owner's Participation), Commissioner Whitted reminded <br /> Mr. Carter that, unlike the Town, the County does not have a road paving program. <br /> Mr. Carter added that the 2/10 mile unpaved portion of Latimer Street is in poor <br /> condition and not properly maintained by the State. He asked the Commissioners <br /> to petition the State to pave that portion of the road at no cost to the people <br /> who use the road; adding that the majority of residents are on disability or fixed <br /> incomes. <br /> Commissioner Willhoit moved, seconded by Commissioner Walker, to petition the <br /> State to pave the 2/10 mile section of Latimer Street (SR 1162). Vote: Ayes, 5; <br /> noes, 0. <br /> The Board added that the letter to DOT would include a request for regular <br /> 0 maintenance to Latimer Street.
