~~ ~~~~. 8 lots, reducing disturbance, and "fitting" lots better into their natural surroundings, the County Staff, Planning Board and Commissioners may permit the use of private roads. The County is concerned about the logical and safe extension of public roads throughout the County and also notes that private roads cannot be served by school buses and sometimes not. by rescue squads and fire trucks. Private roads are generally unpaved and property owners who use the road are solely responsible for maintenance of the road. Therefore, the County will only approve private reads where the "benefits" outweigh the negative aspects. Private roads will never be approved simply to save money. Private roads are a privilege, and not a right, and must be justified by the particular lot arrangement and benefits provided by each development. It is hoped that the following regulations and standards convey the sense that private roads can be used, but only where they clearly meet the spirit as well as the letter of the criteria contained herein.
