Heritage Hills residents press Spencer County to adopt subdivision roads
Summary
Three Heritage Hills residents told the Fiscal Court the subdivision’s roads are not being adopted, which they said has blocked bus service and limited county maintenance; court members said letters of credit remain and instructed the county attorney to research next steps.
Three residents of the Heritage Hills subdivision asked the Spencer County Fiscal Court on Feb. 19 to move the community’s roads onto the county system, saying the lack of adoption is disrupting services.
Matthew Holbrook, who told the court he has lived in Heritage Hills for ten years, said the condition of the roads prevents the school bus from stopping at his house and that Phase One of the subdivision is missing a topcoat. Eric Goodlett and Martin Humes described limited county maintenance on early sections of the subdivision and cited problems with snow removal and garbage pickup.
The exchanges came during the court’s public-comment period. County officials did not announce an immediate adoption of the Heritage Hills roads. Mrs. Sweazy told the court that two letters of credit remain tied to the subdivision; one was renewed Feb. 1 for $43,130 at Peoples Bank. The court asked the County Attorney to research the legal obligations tied to those bonds and the timing for completing and accepting roads into the county road system.
Court members noted that taking a road into the county system typically requires site and completion standards to be met or for the county to draw on developer securities. No formal motion to adopt Heritage Hills roads was made at the Feb. 19 meeting.
Next steps: court members directed research into the letters of credit and road-bond authority before any formal action; residents said they will return for updates.
