CONSIDERATION OF A PAVING PARTICIPATION PROJECT FOR A PORTION
OF STATE ROAD 1912 - SUMMERS FARM ROAD: The clerk to the board said the purpose
of the hearing was to determine if opposition existed to the paving of a portion of SR 1912 -
Summers Farm Road. She mentioned that on October 2, 1998, a petition from the property owners
had been submitted. On October 8, 1998, a faxed letter of approval from the Department of
Transportation was received. A preliminary resolution for the paving was approved by the board
of commissioners on October 20, 1998.
The paving involves eight properties and seven owners signed the petition (one signer owns
two affected lots). The non-petitioner/non-signer involves an estate and the heirs desire to be
assessed for their paving cost over the next five years.
The paving involves 600 linear feet and the State DOT office has given a cost of $4800
('$8.00 per foot or $4.00 each side of the road).
