8 straw road residents present
2 straw road residents missing
They stated that they will send out a survey to the residents of this
area to get a feel for what the residents want. If you receive a survey
and fill it out, PLEASE make sure you send a copy of it to
info@raglm.org so we may keep a record of it.
They stated that there were two areas of this road that were dedicated
to the county and not yet accepted. One of the areas however has not
yet been dedicated as it does take approximately .07 of an acre of this
resident’s property. They stated they would not compensate anyone
for the dedication of their property.
They stated they will send a letter from the county to each of the
residents that they will not just make the road go through in the
future.
When asked why Straw road has not been maintained, they did not
have an answer. Then they stated that they need to be notified if the
road needs improvement.
There is currently approximately $340,000 in the CSA fund according
to Mike Franklin.
We requested a legal description of a CSA, how it is created and
dissolved. Mike did provide this for us:
Policy A21
Policy A48
What is a CSA
We were informed that utility poles would need to be moved for this
paving of the road and it would come at the cost to the CSA not the
utility company.
Some residents also expressed the concern that their water mains
would be covered by the paving of this road. They were told that if
they wanted them moved, it would be at their own expense. If there
was a break in the water lines, it also would be at the expense of the
residents to fix these line breaks.
Juan did propose to pave almost to the end of the road and to stop
paving at the start of the last properties driveway. The county would
then vacate the offers of dedication on the non-developed part of the
road.
A ‘Not a Through Street’ sign was suggested by the residents to cut
down on large truck traffic getting stuck at the end of the road which
would then force them to turn around on private property. Juan said
that such a suggestion could be proposed.
“Generally, the CSA wants to pave to another paved road.”
“Your CSA Decisions are not Authority.” Mike Franklin
They stated that they were NOT going to notify all the paying
members of this CSA128 for this paving.
Any reimbursement of fencing would come from the County.
If approved, it would be paved sometime next spring.
It is an option for the CSA to contract out the paving and not have it
done by the County.
Mike stated that he found out about the requested CSA128 meeting 2
weeks ago.
