| |
TO: |
Honorable Board of Supervisors |
FROM: |
Neil R. Cullen, Director of Public Works |
SUBJECT: |
Inclusion of a Portion of Coronado Avenue into the County Maintained Road System - Miramar Area of the MidCoast |
| |
Recommendation |
Adopt a resolution accepting Coronado Avenue from Highway One to its northeasterly terminus into the County maintained road system. |
| |
Previous Board Action |
Adopted Ordinance No. 03656 which specifies the conditions that need to be met in order to bring a road in the MidCoast with less than standard improvements into the County maintained road system. |
| |
Key Facts |
Property owners on Coronado Avenue have met the five conditions specified in the Ordinance that must be met before a road can be considered for inclusion into the County maintained system. |
| |
Discussion |
The five conditions that have been met are: |
| |
| |
A. |
Petition for inclusion: property owners representing over 50 percent (50%) of the road frontage have submitted a petition requesting inclusion of the road into the maintained system. |
| |
| |
B. |
Road must be one or more entire blocks: The length of Coronado Avenue proposed for inclusion is two (2) blocks (see map attached). |
| |
| |
C. |
Fifty percent (50%) of frontage must be developed: At least fifty percent (50%) of the road frontage to be included is developed with main buildings supporting the principal permitted use of the parcels. |
| |
| |
D. |
Road is a minimum 16-feet-wide gravel and oil or asphalt paved travel way, with shoulders and drainage swales or channels: The homeowners retained a contractor to improve the road to meet the minimum requirements. The Roads Division has confirmed that the improvements meet or exceed the minimum requirements. |
| |
| |
E. |
Road is contiguous with an existing County maintained road or State highway: Coronado Avenue is contiguous to Highway One, a State highway. |
| |
Vision Alignment |
We believe our recommendation is consistent with the Shared Commitment of a "responsive, effective and collaborative government" as the property owners have met the conditions for acceptance of a road into the maintained system as previously determined by your Board. |
| |
Fiscal Impact |
The maintenance of this section of Coronado Avenue, a length of approximately 0.26 miles (1,350 feet), will become the responsibility of the County if it is brought into the County maintained system. The average cost to maintain a 1,350-foot length of road is $3,600 per year, which is proposed to be paid for with Road Funds. There is no impact to the General Fund. |

A form of resolution has been approved by County Counsel. |
