Information

Request/Subject

Accept or reject a Citizen’s Petition to begin the process to designate Forest Service Road 54A (lower Cherry Creek) as a Primitive Road.

Background Information

Gila County Public Works received a citizen’s petition to establish Forest Service Road 54A (lower Cherry Creek) as a Primitive Road. The road is located in the community of Young.

Evaluation

The petition and the road meet the requirements of Public Works Policy #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 road a few times a year. Providing maintenance on this road 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 Citizen’s Petition to begin the process to establish Forest Service Road 54A (lower Cherry Creek) as a Primitive Road.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to accept or reject a Citizen’s Petition to begin the process to establish Forest Service Road 54A (lower Cherry Creek) as a Primitive Road. (Steve Sanders)
