Information

Request/Subject

Accept or reject a Citizens' Petition to begin the process to designate W. Turner Hill Road from the intersection of SR 288 to the west boundary or parcel 305-26-002D as a primitive road.

Background Information

On June 25, 2019, Gila County Public Works received a Citizens' Petition to establish W. Turner Hill Road from the intersection of SR 288 to the west boundary of parcel 305-26-002D as a primitive road. The road is in the community of Young.

Evaluation

The petition and the road meet the requirements of Public Works Policy No. PWS-001 “Guidelines to Primitive Roads” which was approved by the Board of Supervisors on Oct.3, 2003, revised on December 1, 2004, and revised again on February 19, 2019.

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 Department Director recommends that the Board accept the Citizens' Petition to begin the process to establish W. Turner Hill Road from the intersection of SR 288 to the west boundary of parcel 305-26-002D as a primitive road.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to accept or reject a Citizens' Petition to begin the process to establish W. Turner Hill Road from the intersection of SR 288 to the west boundary of parcel 305-26-002D as a primitive road. (Steve Sanders)
