Council accepts subdivision roads; members press staff on road-maintenance funding
Summary
Council accepted multiple subdivision roads into the county maintenance system. Council members asked whether road maintenance fees and impact fees will sustain future obligations; county staff said the road system is in good condition and funds are being reviewed, noting timing of projects creates carryforwards.
Horry County council moved to accept a package of subdivision roads and drainage systems into the county maintenance system, taking multiple phases across several developments in a single vote. The listed projects included Dove Crossing Phase 1, multiple Parks of Carolina Forest phases (9'16), Sand Ridge, Shadow Village, Shore Cove Village phases, Waterside Village Phase 2, and Windsor Farms Phase 2.
During the item council members raised funding questions. One member asked how maintenance will be paid given that many roads were constructed before meaningful impact fees were collected; county staff replied the road maintenance fee provides a recurring source and that timing of projects leads to funds carrying forward to subsequent years. A county staff speaker said the county road system is "in very good condition" and staff continue to review maintenance and resurfacing needs.
The acceptance was approved by voice vote with no recorded roll call.
