Requests <br /> for rights-of-way less than 50' wide,but at least 256 wide,must be approved by <br /> the Board of Commissioners. Bends in the right-of-way must be at angles that will <br /> permit construction of curves with a 1256 minimum centerline radius. See <br /> "Minimum Curve Radius." <br /> Permanent vegetation <br /> All areas disturbed by the construction of the roads including the shoulders, <br /> ditch banks, cut and fill slopes and any borrow areas,, shall be seeded in permanent <br /> vegetation to stabilize the soil and prevent erosion. Seeding should be done <br /> immediately after grading is completed and before the final inspection by the <br /> Planning Department. <br /> The disturbed areas shall be smoothed and lightly harrowed to break up the <br /> soil and prepare a good seedbed. The following materials are recommended per <br /> 1000 square feet. Other types of permanent vegetation may be substituted as <br /> long as they provide adequate cover to prevent erosion,. <br /> 1.4 lbs. rescue grass seed <br /> 0.4 lbs. German or Browntop millet (to provide temporary cover until the <br /> grass becomes established) . <br /> 90 lbs. lime i <br /> 23 lbs. 10-10-10 -Fertilizer <br /> 2 40 lb.

The Road Maintenance Agreement between the lot owners is - <br /> required to insure that the cost is shared equally and a mechanism-for maintenance <br /> is set up. This responsibility for maintenance is the property owners and neither <br /> the State nor Orange County will maintain the road. <br /> a <br /> Regular attention shall be given to the following items in order to assure. <br /> that the road will remain in good condition: <br /> 1. Vegetation: The vegetation should be mowed, limed and fertilized as <br /> needed. Areas that erode or where seeding is <br /> unsuccessful should be reseeded. <br /> i <br /> 2. Drainage: Culverts shall be kept clear of trash and other obstruc- <br /> tions that could prevent or reduce the culverts function. <br /> If culverts are not kept-clear it will cause runoff to <br /> flow over the road and may cause flooding upstream. <br /> Ditch banks and bottoms shall be protected from erosion <br /> by maintaining good vegetation. <br /> 3. Travelway: The travelway shall be maintained by grading the surface i <br /> material to fill any potholes that develop and to evenly <br /> spread the surface material where the soil has be uncovered i <br /> because of erosion. j <br /> i <br /> 4. Road Name Sign: The sign shall be kept visible and legible so that <br /> visitors and emergency personnel can easily locate <br /> the road. <br /> • i <br /> 6 <br />
