vised that preliminary plans have been retnrned and plans.should be completed

Mr. Wheeler also asked about Route 650. The County Executive advised that
he had conferred with representatives from American Telephone and Telegraph Com-
pany and the Country Attorney and bill had been rendered to said company for the
amount necessary to cover right-of~way.
Mr. 'Wheeler stated that he wished to go. on record that developers of sub-
divisions must guarantee that roads will .be developed to~ state specifications.
Mr. Bathhelor stated that he ~had contacted Nfs. Burton and advised her that if
roads are not completed to specifications, no further building permits would be
issued. Nr. Wood stated that he felt regulations were sufficient to cover the
matter but these regulations must be enforced.
Mr. Yancey stated that the road by the railroad track· at' New Town is ex-
tremely rough. Mr. Warner advised that. his office is working up estimates on
improvements to this road so that the cost can be charged to the Interstate 65
project.
Nr. Yancey also again called Mr. Warner's attention to the numerous and
constant complaints he receives with regard to Route 684. He stated that:it
would help to some extent if the State would widen its p~rtion of the road just
off Route ~0 West. Nr. "~arner made note of Nr. Yancey's request but made no
further commi ttment at this meeting.
Mr. Wood stated that at the last meeting Rickey Road was discussed at which
time the Board asked for a report from the County Engineer and County Attorney
at this meeting. Mr. Bailey reported that after an inspection of Ricky Road,
it had been determined that approximately $2,000 would be needed to restore the
surface of about 0.2 mile, He stated that the road in question was originally
built substantially in accordance with standards; however, drainage problems have
compounded the situation and corrective measures here (off-site drainage) would
cost approximately $~,000. He estimated the total cost of the pro~ect to be
between $7,000 and $7~00. He advised that his department could not recommend
acceptance into the State System until the situation is remedied. He further
stated that his views coincide with the Resident Highway Engineer' on what needs
to be done. The County Attorney advised that as long as this road is not in the
road system, he does not see how this Board can do anything other than exert
pressure on parties involved to correct the situation. -He stated, that this is
26'0
now a private way dedicated to public use. He advised that the original cor-
poration which developed., the~ subdivision was now bankrupt. Nr. Robert Evans,
who lives on 'Wayne Avenue but over whose property the drainage occurs,. Stated
that he feels the pipe is.large enough but it .needs a wing on_.ei.ther side;
debris washe,~ through f~om 'Queen CharlOt~te SuhiivisiGn and clogs the pipes.
Nr. Tom Guthrie, who lives on RiCkey Road where the pot holes exist, stated
that drivers put two wheels .on the sidewalk to drive through, causing constant
danger to children living and playing in the area. Dr. Charles Hurt explained
how this street has held.~up acceptance, of streets in the section which he
developed and which he has received Planning Commission approval on. Mr.
Marshall Butler of Chesapeake Capital Corporation advised that his company, in
conjunction with Virginia Laad Company, had contributed funds for the improvement
of this situation. Mr. Randy Wade advised that he om~es, twelve-duplexes in the
area and he is very concerned with the issue and its effect on so many people.
Mr. Woody Watson (Rickey Drive in City Limit.s) recommended if the County can't
recommend acceptance that the City be requested to close their portion of the
road. Mr. Grant Woodford (Rickey Road) stated that it was his understanding
that S Square Compmny applied for acceptance of ~ckey Road in 1966 and the road
was not inspected at that time because of Nr. Evans' complaint. The Chairman
stated that it seems this cannot be resolved in a public meeting and suggested
that the interested parties meet with Mr. 'Warner, Mr. Bailey and Mr. Narshall.
Mr. Gibson stated that the problem existing in one remote section of the sub-
division should not hold up acceptance of other streets. On motion by Mr.
