We have <br />developments with private roads. In some cases we have taken over the <br />maintenance of the road and in others we have not. We continue to allow <br />private roads in developments. <br />In order for the City to take over the maintenance, we require the roads to <br />be built or rebuilt up to normal City standards and reviewed by the City <br />Engineer. In townhomes the legality of the rights -of -way has become an <br />issue. Usually these are common interest communities that own the <br />rights -of -way and therefore all the owners must sign off on the transfer or <br />the right -of -way. Along with that they must assume the costs of any <br />construction or reconstruction to get the road to City standards. When they <br />are notified of that usually the interest wanes. <br />Craig Wainio <br />City Administrator <br />City of Mountain Iron <br />—Original Message — <br />From: joel .hanson @ ci.little - canada.mn.us <br />(mailto:joei .hanson @ ci.little- canada.mn. us] <br />Sent: Friday, July 06, 2001 11:41 AM <br />To: Clerk Administrators <br />Subject: (clerk-adminsf Assumption of Private Roads in Townhome <br />Developments <br />Our City Council is wondering if any other cities have dealt with requests <br />for the City to assume on -going maintenance of private roads within a <br />townhome development. Could you answer the following questions for me? <br />1. Do you have developments with private roads? <br />2. Have you been asked to take over on -going maintenance of these roads? <br />2a. If so, what was the outcome of the request? <br />3. Do you continue to allow private roads for townhome developments? <br />3a. Why or why not? <br />Thanks for your help. <br />Joel Hanson <br />You are currently subscribed to clerk- admins as: cityadmn @mtniron.com <br />To unsubscribe send a blank email to <br />leave-clerk-admins-1569U@IistservImnc.org <br />You are currently subscribed to clerk - admins as: joei.hanson @ci.little - canada.mn.us <br />To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave - clerk- admins- 1569U @Iistserv.lmnc.org <br />PAGE 2 <br />
