Councilmembers asked whether the roads met city standards; city staff and the city engineer reported inspections had been completed.

A city staff member told the council that “Public works and our engineer both went out and checked it. I said it is up to our standards.” Councilmembers asked about resurfacing and minimum thickness requirements. The engineer explained the roadway had been built with a base and stone and that “at the time of installation, it was an inch and a half of surface course over that.” He said the road had “held up really well” for about 10 years and that only a single asphalt patch had been required.

Staff described the city’s proof-roll test process used to check pavement strength: load the truck (a 60,000‑pound dump truck), run it over the pavement, observe for weak spots, and require replacement or additional stone where deficiencies appear. The engineer said the contractor had made minor curb repairs where cracks were observed and that the structure was sound.

Council members questioned the long-term cost implications of taking private subdivision streets into the city inventory. One participant asked, “What advantage is it for the city to take these streets over? I mean, this just seems like it's gonna cost the taxpayers more in the long run.” City staff responded that if a roadway is private and not built to city standards, the city cannot take it into inventory; when a developer builds to city standards and dedicates the road, it becomes part of the municipal system and city maintenance responsibility.

The transcript does not record a formal vote to adopt Resolution 2025-05 during the March 10 work session. The council’s discussion focused on inspection results, pavement thickness and testing, a small amount of curb repair, and the procedural basis for accepting dedicated streets into the city system.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Work Session 3/10/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Easley City Council reviewed Resolution 2025-05 on March 10, 2025, a proposal to accept roads from Deacon Development LLC into the city road network; city staff and the engineer reported inspections found the pavement met city standards.","taxTitle","Easly City, Pickens, South Carolina","taxId",57021,"location","South Carolina","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6643755,"Easley City holds first reading on rezoning 738 East Main Street from R0.75 to Neighborhood Commercial",51,95510,146900,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2531841-1582175b1b3e51d468e547af840d0618&start=95&end=146","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2531841-1582175b1b3e51d468e547af840d0618/thumbnail_95510.jpg","/articles/6643755/South-Carolina/Easley-City-holds-first-reading-on-rezoning-738-East-Main-Street-from-R075-to-Neighborhood-Commercial","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6643755-1464018871da39829aefbf75922ba71f/orig.mp4?Expires=1775932698&Signature=hXBe1gu6dF9KdUadcMHFwKYDbNe1colczkwn4ordHHIQELpRN2hBrsr85BUPff9tuWugHVVmDcTzjxTihNGGEi4TH59DzJXNHoQy8KAs~WyUdSm0pCtBgnyBfH1EWFfkb50ul27M41JBYXxxjmT0GgYSTFWaSy2~hJSG7szgIvpseDMrFeFdfbIGHmKT-6lEkBAo6XOKcuQZpUjq7~pXoDymL3PCPQQKmLVEKgdPwNuImoGflnSPV9IzY3E6kCZr7q0MYz5NJ~biYg21FyeTt1br-gcmPks-BwnV5A-7lXk9xLT7I6n4RDEZ4e6HI5TMxa98BPXhxt2jCEwVOWllUg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Easley City Council held a first reading on Ordinance 2025-02 on March 10, 2025, proposing to rezone approximately 0.815 acres of property at 738 East Main Street (at the intersection with South D Street) from Residential R0.75 to Neighborhood Commercial (NC).

Council members and staff noted that the rezoning had been discussed previously and asked whether there were any additional questions or concerns. A councilmember summarized the parcel as “approximately 0.815 acres located at 738 East Main Street and the intersect with South D Street and East Main Street from residential, which is R, 0.75, to neighborhood Commercial NC.” Another participant identified the address as “Merckx Automotive” on the county map and cited the property number 301.

The transcript records that the council considered the item but does not show a vote or final action on the rezoning during the March 10 work session. Councilmembers stated that the matter had been discussed thoroughly in earlier meetings; no new conditions, staff reports, or public comment are recorded in the work session excerpt.

Because the session recorded only the first reading and questions about the parcel’s mapping, any subsequent readings, required notices, or final votes are not captured in the March 10 transcript.","At its March 10 work session, Easley City Council conducted the first reading of Ordinance 2025-02 to rezone about 0.815 acres at 738 East Main Street from residential R0.75 to neighborhood commercial (NC); the council did not record a vote at the work session.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6643760,"Easley City discusses numbering error during second reading of ordinance to amend code section 99.01",48,28775,76805,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2531841-1582175b1b3e51d468e547af840d0618&start=28&end=76","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2531841-1582175b1b3e51d468e547af840d0618/thumbnail_28775.jpg","/articles/6643760/South-Carolina/Easley-City-discusses-numbering-error-during-second-reading-of-ordinance-to-amend-code-section-9901","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6643760-e522d4693d9eaa6381c9debfd9ed4ed5/orig.mp4?Expires=1775932698&Signature=E2LYqSWiFENXc0ueboFZmDogBjg15tcqo2s9cLJ5Tr~wdfNEY8QKFFKeQ5Os0~OnnYX81RUSZ20dGvm9T3Wmga8Bj03bobuaQTvmjFAXDRxr~G9duxjEoNWnnpqSWV74icTUtS0Xg7rEMYZICeVwIz6RJFiZ4PT3m~AYIFf1UhRqUmvXdBAjHFNvCRhNR6xY8pCBn03IV9AsR3E3aEWIqZ1nIJeKP6L3siZoqjD49c8N1YgCs8Ckz0IE8rxhSQQFnyo-ecIMyu1aPdnio91D5KP9IfyTkMy2dMsNH9w~hG1yPwBdyZ6CW8YewZRwlg5b8zNE5Mm8UnZh5jvdmipWGw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Easley City Council held the second reading of Ordinance 2025-01 on March 10, 2025, a measure to amend section 99.01 of chapter 99 of title 9 of the Easley City Code. Councilmembers reviewed the ordinance text and identified a numbering error in the draft.

Councilmembers said the ordinance had been discussed and voted on previously, and the second reading focused on a formatting issue. One councilmember noted what they described as “a numerical error on page 5,” saying, “You fixed the 1, but it created a second 1. Yeah. Because 5 is disappearing, so 6 will then be 5.” That comment prompted brief confirmation from other members that the numbering needed correction before final adoption.

No formal vote on final adoption of Ordinance 2025-01 is recorded in the work session transcript. The council’s discussion was limited to the text correction and confirmation that the substantive policy had been considered at the prior meeting.

The ordinance is identified in meeting materials as Ordinance 2025-01 and references section 99.01 of chapter 99, title 9 of the Easley City Code. The transcript shows the matter was on its second reading and councilmembers reviewed the draft for clerical and numbering accuracy.

Public works staff reported that drainage projects at Lehigh Lane and Morningside Drive are complete. Longview Terrace work is about 95% complete; staff said the contractor will return to address stabilization items. On Inverness Way, crews have reopened the road and installed pipe across the roadway toward the Rogers property; staff said the contractor expected to finish pipe laying if weather permitted, noting progress was at about 70 percent for certain pipe-laying tasks.

The staff update described field observations that some of the soil encountered in the drainage easement was poor quality and required stabilization and that the contractor had sent a superintendent from Pennsylvania to oversee the work. Staff said a stormwater box and easement access had been used to route pipe from the rear of one property across the street.

Separately, a staff member reported the roof at the Law Enforcement Center is nearly complete and that the contractor performed necessary repairs after discovering missing drip edge that had led to damaged fascia and soffit. Staff said most replacement work was finished and final payment was expected to be processed the following week, subject to closing out a couple of small items.

The transcript records these as informational project updates; no formal council actions or votes are recorded in the March 10 work session excerpt.","Easley City staff updated the council on drainage projects including completed work on Lehigh Lane and Morningside Drive, near-completion of Longview Terrace stabilization and pipe work on Inverness Way, and reported the law enforcement center roof is nearly finished with minor repairs outstanding.","actionData","errors"]
