Resident urges repairs to Sunrise Mountain Road after potholes and erosion worsen
Summary
A Fannin County resident told commissioners that a pothole spanning the full roadway and ongoing erosion on Sunrise Mountain Road are causing hazards and requested county attention to repairs.
At the meeting's public comment period, resident Richard Belmont urged the Fannin County commissioners to address a severe pothole and erosion on Sunrise Mountain Road, saying the damage extends across the roadway and creates a hazard.
Belmont, who said he lives at 1828 Sunrise Mountain Road and has lived there since 2017, said the pothole in question extends across the entire road and cannot be driven around; he described areas of the road where only a tire-width remains and said heavy trucks and recent rainfall have worsened erosion. Belmont said some ad-hoc patching had been attempted by homeowners but that the problem persisted.
The chairman responded that he would reach out to county staff about the issue. The transcript records the resident's request and the chairman's commitment to follow up; no formal motion, timeline or budgetary commitment appears in the record.
