The asshat that subdivided my neighborhood has one going down the hill.
Twp supervisors cut a deal to pave and take over our road if it was prepared to
state specs for the paving. So the residents did, and it's paved.
New supervisors, no more tasking over any road not currently paved and up to specs.
This jerk develops 20+ acres.
First he promises to pave after he sells a few lots.
Then, he claims that if enough get sold, the Twp will take over, like they did for us.
Now that it's pretty much full, he just ain't saying anything.
And these folk have built $400k homes on dirt roads.
They don't speak real well about him!
All told, I'm guessing a mile of road. 20' wide. Excavated, compacted stone,
base and top coat to spec, a bunch of money. No HOA to decide on the split and to force anyone to pay up. It aint never gonna happen.
A few will split the cost and get crushed stone hauled in. Of course the ones that don't pay drive over it like it's Daytona. Two weeks and it's blown into the grass.
I'd be nuts if I was them.
A dirt road is ok for me. A price for being remote.
But on an acre, with neighbors in my yard?
