Subdivision and residential roads are <br /> roads specifically constructed to serve the residences along the road. <br /> Rural roads are roads which servee primarily as traffic corridors and <br /> secondarily provide access to residences:Aue policy requires that rural <br /> roads be subject to all cost for paving above ."x8.00 percenterline foot <br /> as opposed to a maximum $14.00 per centerline foot for subdivision and re- <br /> sidential roads. <br /> under this policy two Orange County P.P.P. projects are new classified <br /> by DOT as' rural roads: Libscorrb Grove Church Road (SR 1574) and Wi.l.let <br /> Road (SR 15G8). These roads are priorities =5 and A6 in the Orange <br /> County Program. Paving of these roads under the County priority system <br /> will require t-,te enmrioerance of a large proportion of the total avail- <br /> able P.P.P. funds in given year. It has not yet been determined <br /> whether affected residents will be willing to pay the larger cots for <br /> paving the roads. <br /> The remaining projects are eligible for funding on the regular basis of <br /> $4.00 per linear foot, and will be paved according to priority. Range- <br /> wood subdivision ((rl) cannot be paved, hazever, until construction of <br /> water and sewer Lines is ompleted in July 1983. Mace Road (V) , under <br /> current County policy, cannot be paved until 15 and rG (rural roads) are <br /> either paved, becone ineligible or withdrat-r from the Program. <br /> The County may wish to either reaffirm or revise the policy for prior- <br /> itizing P.P.P. projects. The fbIlcwi.ng policy options are available for <br /> the Board's consideration: <br /> 1. Feaffirn current policy which prioritizes projects on a "first <br /> come,e, first serve"^basis regardless of type of road. <br /> 2. Revise the prioritization policy for all new requests to <br /> distinguish between subdivision/residential and rural roads <br /> and prioritize subdivision/residential roads above rural. roads. <br /> Rural roads would be paved either as funds permit or cn the <br /> basis of a conbined funding and waiting period formula i.e <br /> as finds permit and within five years of the data of request. <br /> 3. Same as 142 except the revised policy would be immediately <br /> applicable to projects 05 and T6. Project ;r7 would then be <br /> prioritized before projects 1#5 and OG. <br /> d. Fevise the policy so that for new requests all rural roads would 3e. <br /> ineligible for the County paving progran. <br /> 5. Samoa as #rd except the revised policy would be iv ediately <br /> applicable to projects 1,15 and 11,16. <br />
