T.a.STPACT r,41:zaKG DATE January 24, 1983 _ Subject: Latimer Street SR 1162 CepertTrent: Planning Public HeAring: yes x Attachmmt(s) : Iniormatica Cont_ct: Susan Smith Petition Phone 732-8181 EXT. 359 PURPOSE: To consider the concerns of residents of Latimer Street and Kingsboro Estates regarding the paving of two-tenths of a mile of Latimer Street. The unpaved portion of Latimer Street connects two paved sections of Latimer Street. The unpaved portion is fairly steep and in poor condition for travel. NEED: Latimer Street extends from inside the corporate limits of Hillsborough to Kingsboro Estates subdivision within the extra-territorial limits of Hillsborough. The developer of Kingsboro Estates subdivision paved the streets within the subdivision, including a portion of Latimer Street which serves the subdivision. The Town of Hillsborough contracted with DDT to pave the one-tenth portion of Latimer Street which extends to the corporate limits after many requests from residents served by the road. The Town encumbered funds from Powell Bill monies to pay for this work. However, the General Statutes restrict the use of these funds outside of municipal corporate limits. Therefore, the Town could not use the funds to pave the remaining length of road within the Town's extra territorial area extending to the paved portion within Kingsboro Estates subdivision. The residents of Latimer Street and Kingsboro Estates presented the attached petition to the Town of Hillsborough at the Town Board's December 13, 1982 meeting requesting the Town to pave the unpaved portion of Latimer Street. The Town considered the item But referred the residents to the County for action. The Town also sent a letter to DOT endorsing the request for paving. DOT indicated in a letter dated December 21, 1982 that the road was eligible for paving through either the Participatory Paving Program (PRP) or Property Owners Participation Program (I'LlR). DOT maintains the entire length of Latimer Street including the unpaved two-tenths of a mile outside the Town's corporate limits. DOT has indicated that Latimer Street is considered to be a residential and subdivision street and, therefore, the unpaved section is only eligible for paving under either the Participatory Paving Program (t'.P.R) or the Property Owners Participatory Program (Bap). DOT estimates the cost to grade, drain and pave one mile of road is $120,000. The approximate cost to pave the two-tenths of a mile section of Latimer Street would be $24,000, Under either the PPP..or Rap. program, the local share would be $4.00 per linear foot or $4,224,00, The local share may be paid by the residents of Latimer Street adjacent to the unpaved portion of road; by the residents of Kingsboro Estates; or by the County. Payment by the residents adjacent to the unpaved portion of road could be made under either the P22. or ROP. programs, Payment by the residents of Kingsboro Estates or the County could be made only under the • P.O.?. program. Mr. Larry Carter, spokesperson for the community served by Latimer Street, has indicated that the majority of the residents served by the unpaved portion of Latimer Street are unwilling to participate in either program.
