SPRINGER:Thank you, Mr. Director. Commissioners, are there any questions for the testifier? Commissioner Alameda? ALAMEDA:Probably, just my own unawareness of road maintenance and all, but if you dont have gulches or potholes or, you know, things that are caused from basic parking on the side, then what do you maintain? MCKENNEY:We have a 40-foot right-of-way, we have about a 14-foot wide chip- sealed road with very poor shoulder. There are no trenches in it now. All it would take is one truck parking there, and we would have big trenches that would continue to grow. ALAMEDA:So, cause I was thinking road maintenance, your job is to maintain theroadsthatusersuse? MCKENNEY:Yes.Forthepeopleofthesubdivision,yes,itstheirprivateroads. ALAMEDA:Oh,okay.Igotcha. MCKENNEY:Sowereresponsibleformaintaining,andwevegottotakecareof them if they get busted up. ALAMEDA:Right. And your concern is if more cars come on that road, then youd have to maintain more? MCKENNEY:Yeah, its going to be more work for us, its going to wear down the roads. Theyre only chip-sealed, theyre 20-30 years old, theyre just, they cant stand up to regular routine traffic, entry and exit, you know. Either that, its primarily access and also just parking, you know, over-flow parking. ALAMEDA:Okay. I gotcha. Thanks. SPRINGER:Thank you. Commissioner Siracusa, then Graham? SIRACUSA:I just wanted to clarify here. Are you talking about Wright Road or Road A? MCKENNEY:Im talking about Road A. Right now theres nothing to stop, theres no fence or anything to stop anybody from driving in off of Road A, or is there a provision that says that they cant enter via Road -? SIRACUSA:Well, would putting signage on that part of Road A saying no parking on shoulder be part of the responsibility that the Road Maintenance Committee has taken on? I realize that for Wright Road if that situation, you know, people would have to ask the Traffic Division of the Public Works. 9
