Agenda Item Text:

Adopt Resolution 12-09, to authorize the addition of 0.25 miles of Frontage Road in Sunsites to the Cochise County Maintained Road System.

Background:

Recommendation: The department recommends adding 0.25 miles of Frontage Road, from Geneva Street to Ironwood Road to the County Road Maintenance System in accordance with the Road Drop/Add Policy.

Background (Brief): The Road Drop/Add Policy was approved in 2007 (Resolution) and since that time a total of 9.65 miles were dropped and 7.6 miles have been added in Supervisory District 3, leaving a balance of 2.05 miles. At this time Supervisor Searle is requesting that 0.25 miles of Frontage Road be added in the Sunsites area. (Please see attached map.) This segment of road is adjacent to Highway 191 and serves as access to self storage facilities, a former feed store, and a machine shop.

Per the Road Drop/Add Policy staff reviewed the road as follows:
• Yes, the road was open and in use prior to June 13, 1975 as evidenced by a dedication date of 1962 and a 1976 aerial.
• Yes, there is a width of 50 feet of public right-of-way per Map and Plat book 4 page 79.
• Yes, there is a minimum average width of 18 feet of travelway.
• Yes, the road is contiguous to County Maintained Roads (Geneva Street and Ironwood Road).
• Yes, the road is located within the same district as a dropped road.
• Yes, the road has a minimum ADT of about 50. Actual count was 52 on 3/2012.
• Yes, the road has a safe driving speed of about 35 mph under most weather conditions.
• Yes, the road is free of hazardous encroachments.
• Yes, drainage issues are minimal and do not require additional right-of-way.
• Yes, only routine environmental permits will be required.
• Yes, there are no utility conflicts.
• Yes, maintenance will be in accordance with ARS 28-6705 regarding Primitive Roads.

Fiscal Impact & Funding Sources: The road segment will be brought into the maintenance system as a Primitive Road. Annual routine maintenance activities are estimated at $200.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

If approved, the road segment will be scheduled for maintenance and sign installations.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

Should the item not be approved the road segment will not be brought into the Road Maintenance System.
