Board OKs 47-day full closure for Grand Vista roadwork, approves daily penalty for overruns
Summary
The board approved a 47-calendar-day full closure for roadway improvements on Griffith Road for the Grand Vista Section 2 development, with a proposed $500 daily penalty for delays beyond the approved period unless excused by the board.
The Public Works and Safety Board approved a request on May 19 to fully close Griffith Road for up to 47 calendar days to allow roadway improvements associated with Grand Vista Section 2.
Staff said the closure would allow the developer to perform frontage improvements across the property from Billingsley Road to Forestville Road and that the closure would be similar to prior work on Pushville Road. The proposed period was described in the meeting as a 47-calendar-day closure; staff provided start and end dates verbally but the transcript contained garbled date text and no final written date was entered into the public record during the discussion.
The board also discussed and approved an incentive/penalty clause that would charge the petitioner $500 per day for days beyond the approved 47-day period unless the petitioner returned to the board and showed just cause. “Anything above the 47 days, we charge a $500 penalty unless petitioner comes before the board, right, and has just cause,” a board member said. Staff and the developer also said they would notify schools and affected parties and provide detour routing.
The board voted to approve the closure request with the penalty provision and directed staff to coordinate notification and detour planning with the developer.
