public access roads
-Continued from PAGE ONE
West Glen roads to a better
standard and the property
owners maintain them for
the long run, that seems to
be the most fiscally respon-
sible way to assist,” he told
commissioners.
Mabbott said the
way these older subdivi-
sions were put in, should
not have been allowed, and
today would not be built
this way. “New subdivi-
sions are required to meet
a minimum road standard
and they also provide a
homeowners agreement
or a maintenance agree-
ment,” she explained. But,
she added that the county
doesn’t have a way to actu-
ally enforce the agreements
in the future. “There is a
new subdivision outside
Boardman and before they
start to build, they have to
put up an asphalt road and
then there is an agreement
(maintenance). “But what
if 10 years from now peo-
ple don’t want to maintain
those roads?” she asked
rhetorically, even though
the agreements are record-
ed at the courthouse.
After a long dis-
cussion Commissioner
Jim Doherty moved that
the county proceed with
the repairs, with no stip-
ulation for either code en-
forcement or any required
maintenance agreements
with the property owners.
“The county road dept rec-
ommends the expenditure.
The public use of the road
justifies the expenditure.
Emergency folks want this
done. And I don’t want this
done quid pro quo - we will
only do this if you do that.
You are either recommend-
ing it or not. The emergen-
cy stipulation justifies it,”
Doherty explained of his
motion to just proceed with
repairs. He pointed out the
county doing and paying
for the repairs would fol-
low Oregon Law for public
roads.
The motion to just
proceed was eventually
amended by Commissioner
Melissa Lindsay when she
said she wanted mainte-
nance agreements worked
out with the landowners if
the current work is done.
“Any chance we get to a
future maintenance agree-
ment? I don’t think this is
right we do it every two to
three years,” she said. “I
can do this if I know this
is a one-time agreement
and there is something for
future maintenance.” She
agreed with Imes that the
first step would be to do a
mailing to all the residents
explaining the situation and
need for the maintenance
agreement. “I want a com-
mitment of some kind for
future maintenance,” she
emphasized.
Russell agreed
there must be a mainte-
nance agreement attached
to the repairs. “I would
like to help them to bring
it up, but there has to be
some path going forward to
maintain their own road,”
Russell said. He added
that the county needed to be
consistent on what it does
with all roads in similar
circumstances in Morrow
County. “We can’t just keep
going in and doing mainte-
nance on that road and we
don’t do it on other roads.
We need to be consistent.
I’m probably in favor of one
time.” But he didn’t want to
see them come back again
in two to three years with
the same request. “What’s
the plan after we do it one
time? That’s what I want to
see,” Russell stated.
Doherty said he
didn’t want the current road
work tied to any mainte-
nance agreement or code
enforcement, and refused
to vote in favor of the mo-
tion. “There is an illegal
spud cellar out off of tower
road and I bring it up ev-
ery time code comes up
because we beat the hell
out of these people and we
don’t go after those peo-
ple,” he said of the seed
potato facility he claims
is a zoning violation. “We
want to appreciate that we
have 30 families out there
working their tails off with
those trucking businesses,”
he said. “Don’t reach out
to those people with trucks
until the illegal seed potato
processing facility is shut
down,” Doherty said before
voting against the amended
amendment which passed
2-1.
“It is important for me
to see it through,” Imes
said about the road repairs.
Mabbott said she would
work with Imes to change
things at West Glen. “This
can be a pilot project in one
neighborhood,” she said.
