Washington County Board authorizes start of Stone Ridge Estates 140th Street improvement process
Summary
The Washington County Board of Supervisors authorized County Engineer Jacob Thorius to begin the agreement and bidding process for improvements to 140th Street requested by the Stone Ridge Estates HOA; the HOA says it has budgeted $95,000 and would share maintenance costs 50/50 with the county for eight years.
The Washington County Board of Supervisors on May 26 authorized County Engineer Jacob Thorius to begin the agreement and bidding process for planned improvements to 140th Street between Vine Avenue and the entrance to Stone Ridge Estates subdivision.
County Engineer Jacob Thorius presented a letter and draft Subdivision Road Improvements and Road Maintenance Agreements from the Stone Ridge Estates Homeowners Association outlining the proposal. The draft calls for the HOA to pay for initial surface preparation and the first coat of a double-coat Otta Seal; subsequent maintenance — described as patching and crack sealing — would be split 50/50 between the HOA and Washington County for eight years.
David Visin, identified in the meeting as president of the Stone Ridge Estates HOA, told the Board the HOA has budgeted $95,000 for the project. "We have budgeted $95,000.00 for the project," Visin said, and he added that if costs substantially exceed that amount the HOA would need to vote again on participation or additional funding.
Chairperson Jack Seward moved to authorize the engineer to proceed; the motion, seconded by Supervisor Marcus Fedler, passed unanimously. County staff said the work could be completed by the end of the year, but completion depends on finalizing the agreement, the HOA completing financing and bonding, and the outcome of the bid process.
The Board’s action authorizes staff to start negotiation, final paperwork, and solicitation of bids; any final agreement and construction contract would return to the Board for approval if required by statute or county policy.
Next procedural steps identified by the Board include finalizing the HOA’s financing and bond, completing the Road Improvements and Maintenance Agreements, and receiving competitive bids before scheduling construction.
