DEPARTMENT OF SECONDARY ROADS, ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM 1984-85: Chairman
Troutman adjourned the meeting to a public hearing to discuss with the representa-
tives from the Department of Secondary Roads the road improvement program for 1984-
85.
Mr. T. G. Brooks, secondary roads representative, discussed the priorities
with the board. Mr. Campbell inquired if the department was staying within the
guidelines set forth by the county commissioners for paving participation percentages.
Mr. Brooks said he believed they were holding the paving participation to approxi-
mately 40% of total Iredell County funds as requested by the county commissioners.
He said they would keep this percentage or else contact the county commissioners.
Robert N. Randall, county attorney, inquired about work at the Ostwalt inter-
section on N. C. 115, South. Mr. Connelly said he believed that would be handled
under the regular maintenance program.
The signal at the intersection of Murdock Road and N. C. 115, South, was
addressed. The state officials said this would be taken care of in the relocation
of the intersection.
No one present spoke in behalf of the road program.
PROPOSED ROAD CLOSINGS: Chairman Troutman asked Mr. Watt Alexander if he had
any comments regarding the two proposed road closings that were listed on the agenda
(Oortion of Riveria Drive in Holiday Harboer Subdivisions and Old Spring Way in
Cedarwood Subdivision). Mr. Alexander said Old Spring Way was a non -system road and
has never been maintained by the state. He said they had no objection to the county
commissioners closing the cul-de-sac protion of Riveria Drive and making a T-type
turn -around in lieu of the cul-de-sac. Mr. Tennyson distributed a drawing of the
proposed change. Alice Fortner, Clerk to the Board, said she had advertised the
public hearing, sent registered notices of the hearing to the adjoining property
owners, and notice had been posted on the property. Mr. Messmer had also sent letters
to the property owners regarding his request.
Mrs. Willie Thompson was present and inquired about the proposed closing. She
owns two lots on Riveria Drive. After a discussion, she thought it would not affect
her property in any way.
No one else spoke regarding this proposal.
CHAIRMAN TROUTMAN ADJOURNED THE PUBLIC HEARING AND RE -OPENED THE REGULAR SESSION.
