Limestone County approves road‑use agreement with Lavender Solar LLC, requires repairs and permits
Summary
The commissioners voted to proceed with a road‑use agreement with Lavender Solar LLC, requiring the company to repair damaged roads, address drainage issues and obtain permits for new culverts and entryways; the court emphasized road maintenance obligations tied to the project.
The Limestone County Commissioners Court voted to proceed with a road‑use agreement with Lavender Solar LLC, with commissioners stressing that the developer must repair and maintain affected county roads and obtain required permits for culverts and entryways before heavy construction begins.
During discussion, a speaker noted that the roads already have “bad spots” and that heavy construction traffic will worsen those areas; the court discussed multiple county roads that will be affected and said the company will be expected to perform necessary repairs and obtain permits for any bridge or culvert work. Commissioners asked for a meeting with the construction representative to review the roads and the planned traffic impacts prior to or early in construction.
The court voted to proceed with the road‑use agreement with the understanding that the county and the developer will agree on the road improvements required to support the projected traffic; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
The transcript does not include the text of the road‑use contract, dollar amounts for road repairs, or the developer’s representative name; the court recorded that four county roads (various route numbers referenced during the discussion) would be affected and that permits will be required for culvert/entryway work.
The court’s action directs staff to work with the developer and to confirm permit requirements and repair plans before construction progresses.
