Thanks, David. The petition process described in that Road Establishment Handout is not applicable to this situation, but the Code provision cited in the Handout is helpful. However,
I still have not seen anything describing the process to be undertaken by Public Works in making its determination in this case, so if you are aware of anything describing that process
please let me know.
Regarding the issue of whether PLA can be required, as a condition of plat approval, to require its contractors to use the construction access road rather than Mount Constance Way, the
answer is of course it can. There is no law or legal principle preventing PLA from including such a provision in its contracts, and that provision could be enforced by PLA just as
any other contract provision could be. Nor am I aware of any law or legal principle preventing the county from exercising its police powers (meaning its governmental authority to promote
public health, safety or welfare) to impose a requirement on PLA, as a condition of plat approval, to require PLA to include such a term in its construction contracts, so long as the
requirement is reasonable and is rationally related to and consistent with other land use policies. Indeed, that is why it is a common practice to include notes about construction
truck route restrictions in subdivision plats — exactly as already contemplated by the reference to truck route restrictions in Note 13 on Sheet 1 of Exhibit 17 to your staff report.
If you are aware of some law or legal principle to the contrary, please let me know.
As always, thanks for your help. And thanks especially for your candor in telling the Commissioners that DCD recommends that the two new roadways be dedicated and accepted as public
roads, despite the contrary prior recommendation of Public Works.
Best regards,
Dave
