County Road D/Irvington Hill and Lambs Creek projects advance; right-of-way offers sent for County Road D/G work
Summary
Engineering staff reported storm sewer installation on Irvington Hill, progress toward paving, and right-of-way offer decisions for the County Road D and G project. Staff changed one parcel to a permanent limited easement and said the landowner may request an appraisal, which could delay the project.
An engineering staff member said contractors are installing storm sewer on the Irvington Hill portion of County Road D and that the contract was a 70‑day job; staff expect to pave the section in June.
Why it matters: The Irvington Hill work and the County Road D/G project affect local access and the schedule for summer construction; landowner decisions on easements will determine whether the D/G project proceeds this season.
Staff reported they completed appraisals and sent offers Monday for two parcels needed for the County Road D and G project (near Jake's and Pioneer). One parcel's status changed from easement to outright purchase after appraisal; the other was changed to a permanent limited easement to reduce cost and preserve landowner access while granting the county long-term maintenance access.
Staff warned the committee the landowner may request a separate appraisal, which by ordinance/process can take up to 60 days and could effectively pause or delay the project for the year. The project team has already ordered storm‑sewer structures and culverts and said they will proceed quickly if the landowner accepts the offers.
On Lambs Creek Bridal (widening and sidewalk removal), staff said materials are scheduled for July and the project is “full steam ahead,” though they noted design and erosion constraints for alternate storm sewer outlets and that multiple design options were evaluated.
Ending: Staff urged patience while the right‑of‑way process runs its course and said the county will proceed if parcels are accepted; if not, the project may be delayed.
