If, upon completion of the report, viewing and public hearing, the Court adopts, by ordinance, the roadway, the road shall be established as follows.
(A) Right-of-way. A minimum right-of-way of 30 feet (15 feet from centerline) shall be conveyed by the adjoining property owners to the county, unless the Fiscal Court finds that due to topography or otherwise, the 30-foot minimum cannot be met. Said right-of-way may be cleared, graded and sloped to provide an adequate width for the roadway, adequate drainage and sight distance, with the approval of the County Road Superintendent.
(B) Roadbed condition. The County Road Department shall prepare the roadbed by providing an eight-inch stone base dense grade aggregate, a minimum width of 14 feet and a double chip seal standard. The adjoining property owners shall pay in advance for all materials and the county will furnish all labor and equipment to bring said roadbed to this standard.
(C) Conditions. Anything beyond the normal scope of work (i.e., grading, ditching and the like) shall be added to the cost of the adjoining land owners, according to the Road Superintendent’s recommendation.
(D) Limits of liability for pre-existing objects in right-of-way. The county will not be responsible for replacement or cost of fences, trees or any other object that is in said right-of-way. The County Fiscal Court, at its discretion, may or may not accept roads that meet these requirements.
