Uintah County commissioners voted Nov. 26 to accept roads within the Basin Acres subdivision as county Class B roads following staff review and certification.

Deanna Nyberg of Community Development told the commission that 2000 South and 1940 South were reviewed by the fire marshal and the roads department and that utilities were contacted; Ashley Valley Water and Sewer reported a potential water-main valve that might have been paved over and staff said the developer is addressing the matter. Nyberg asked the commission to accept the roads as Class B roads and a commissioner moved to do so. The motion passed by voice vote.

Why it matters: Acceptance of subdivision roads as county roads transfers maintenance and operational responsibility to the county and affects future maintenance budgeting and service delivery.

Details: Staff said the roads are complete “as per the diagram and plot maps” and that utilities have been contacted; work on the minor utility issue was underway with the developer.
