A street which is not accepted as a public street shall have the status of "private
street." Private streets may be approved for development only when they are eligible
for categorization as a local street. Said street shall be designed so as to prohibit
through traffic. To allow for installation of utilities, there will be a 60-foot easement
indicated on the plat. Any private street shall be developed to present county standards.
For subdivisions having five or fewer tracts or lots, a private street shall be exempted
from the paving requirements except as provided in section 6.2.10. Prior to the issuance
of building permits for lots within the development, the developer shall file with
the county manager a release of maintenance agreement, releasing the county from any
present or future maintenance of said streets. A sign indicating the existence of
a private street will be erected at the intersection of each public street and private
street. A disclosure statement shall be present on all plats of the subdivision and/or
individual lots and included in all sales contracts. The statement shall set forth
the ownership of the streets, the rights of purchasers and others to use the streets,
provisions and responsibilities for maintenance and liability, and the rights of purchasers
to enforce said provisions. Further, the statement shall advise purchasers that the
county board of commissioners is not responsible for the maintenance of private streets.
Each lot owner shall have title to the centerline of the private street adjacent to
his lot subject to the 60-foot easement described herein. An alternative is the establishment
of a responsible association with the authority to maintain the private streets.
