Council accepts public roads for Legacy Park development
Summary
Mechanicsburg approved Ordinance 1193 to accept deeds of dedication for roads in Legacy Park (phases 1, 3 & 4), including Larkin, Madison and a realigned Allendale; council discussed how dedication transfers maintenance responsibility from the developer to the borough.
Mechanicsburg Borough Council voted to adopt Ordinance 1193 on March 3, accepting deeds of dedication that convey certain public roads constructed as part of the Legacy Park final subdivision and land development—specifically portions of Larkin, Madison and the realigned Allendale.
Councilwoman Mina moved to approve the ordinance and Councilwoman Agerton seconded; the motion passed by roll call vote, 4–0. Engineer Rogalski explained that a deed of dedication designates land to become part of the borough and that, after the streets are built to required standards, the borough will accept them from the developer.
Council referenced a memorandum of understanding accepted by Landmark regarding ware-course paving on Norway Street in connection with the development. The meeting record does not specify a timetable for final inspections or the date the streets will be formally conveyed.
The ordinance transfers responsibility for maintenance, snow removal and long-term care of the accepted street segments to the borough once acceptance conditions are met.
