Citizen’s Petition to begin the process to designate Stageline Road and Singletree Lane as primitive roads.
Background Information
Gila County Public Works received a Citizens' Petition to establish Stageline Road and Singletree Lane as primitive roads. These roads are located south of Payson in the Round Valley area.
Evaluation
The petition and the roads meet the requirements of Public Works Policy No. ENG03-03 “Guidelines to Primitive Roads” which was approved by the Board of Supervisors on October 3, 2003, and revised on December 1, 2004.
Conclusion
Easements from property owners will need to be granted to Gila County. Once the easements are accepted by the County, providing maintenance as described in the Primitive Road Policy will consist of grading the roads a few times a year. Providing maintenance on these roads will not reduce the level of service to other roads in the Gila County Maintained Roadway System.
Recommendation
The Public Works Division Director recommends that the Board accept the Citizens' Petition to begin the process to establish Stageline Road and Singletree Lane as primitive roads.
Suggested Motion
Information/Discussion/Action to accept the Citizens' Petition to begin the process to establish Stageline Road and Singletree Lane as primitive roads. (Steve Sanders)
