The 1992 Legislature passed legislation which froze the top
ten roads in each category of rural roads and residential roads.
The effect of that legislation left the DOT without any choice in
priorities on work that was incomplete this past winter. In the
spirit of the law, DOT was asked to keep the one through ten carry-
overs from the 1989 Program, which was the last time roads were
evaluated in Iredell County. These ten were to be kept and held in
their priority order and then proceed on from that point, Mr. Rand
said.
All unpaved roads in the county were inventoried last winter.
He read the program as outlined by the DOT for 1993-94.
Following this, Chairman Haire inquired if anyone wished to speak
regarding the road program.
Commissioner Boone inquired about Whispering Pine, Road #1671,
off Monticello Drive, and would this all be paved? Mr. Rand said
he did not have the map before him, but he would contact Mr. Boone
with the information.
Juanita Sloan - Inquired about SRT 1622 Ernest Road. There
are six houses and a mobile home. Two school buses are on it twice
daily, and the road is less than a mile long. When would it be
paved?
Jim Rand - Said this is priority 093.
Lonnie Deal - Orville and Wright Lane - 01441 and #1442.
There are more school buses and bad curves. He fears a school bus
accident. Would like to get it paved. He asked what the problem
is that they have not been able to get it paved.
He thinks there are streets already paved that has less
traffic than his road does.
Jim Rand - Said this is priority 140. A school bus route
carries 10 points. Age of a road is not taken into account.
Frank Ostwalt - Franklin Woods Lane 02547 - Less than 1/2 mile
not paved that gives access to a road that has 31 homes with 63
licensed drivers, 74 licensed vehicles, two school buses, 2
businesses.
Jim Rand - Franklin Woods Lane is #21 on the list. If the
Board of Transportation continues this program for the second
year, there is a possibility that they will get to priority #21
next year.
Clyde Holton - Zion Liberty Road, SR 1817, Holland Farm Road.
The road is .6 mile with four homes and two businesses. Holland
Farm Road has seven houses and a business. Dust is a problem.
Jim Rand - Zion Liberty SR 1817, Top 10 frozen rural roads.
There is a possibility that the DOT can get to it next year.
Chairman Haire inquired about Patterned Oak, off Blum Road.
Jim Rand - Patterned Oak Road is priority #28 on the
residential list.
Gannet Road, SR 2908, off Isle of Pine Road, in Davidson
Township.
Jim Rand - Priority #72, 1/2 mile, 7 full time, 4 part-time.
Commissioner Madison inquired if the State still had a
property owner paving participation program. Mr. Rand said they
did, and the cost is $8 a foot, $4 for either side of the road. If
the property owners submit the funds, the State will match it and
pave it out of order. The $8 a foot covers about 40% of the total
