722 Craig Benedict answered that the road would have to be paved to the nearest existing paved <br />723 section. <br />724 <br />725 Chair Gooding -Ray asked if it was possible for them not to have to pave the road in a major <br />726 subdivision. <br />727 <br />728 Craig Benedict responded - if there were less than 12 lots. <br />729 <br />730 Chair Gooding -Ray said that in this case they are required to pave the public road but then they <br />731 can have a dirt road. <br />732 <br />733 Craig Benedict responded yes, if they met the private road standards. Directed to Nicole, she <br />734 would like a provision to meet the private road standards and have a dirt road and still access a <br />735 dirt road. <br />736 <br />737 Chair Gooding -Ray answered yes. <br />738 <br />739 Craig Benedict confirmed that when you get 13 lots, the road has to be paved because that is the <br />740 code. If that is the recommendation of the Board, it will be brought forward. <br />741 <br />742 Renee Price asked if the developer paved the road who would maintain the road. <br />743 <br />744 Karen Lincoln answered that DOT maintains all public roads whether they are paved or not. <br />745 <br />746 Jay Bryan asked if there could be a paved private road. Craig Benedict answered yes. <br />747 <br />748 Karen Lincoln said if you have a major subdivision of 6 —12 lots and then you have other 6 —12 <br />749 lot major subdivisions accessing a public road, these add up so the public access road needs to be <br />750 to public road standards including being paved. <br />751 <br />752 Chair Gooding -Ray noted that all subdivisions with up to 12 lots can have private unpaved roads <br />753 and should be excluded from the proposed requirement. <br />754 <br />755 MOTION was made by Howard McAdams to accept these recommendations with the <br />756 stipulation that you meet the private unpaved standards that you do not have to pave the public <br />757 road. Barry Katz seconded this motion. <br />758 VOTE: All ayes except Jay Bryan, Craufurd Goodwin and Renee Price. <br />1042 <br />1043 Tina L. Owen, Minutes Preparer <br />
