Board approves naming of private roads for 9‑1‑1 addressing: Roman Road and Colvin Extension
Summary
The board approved two resolutions to name private roads (Roman Road and Colvin Extension) so new homes can receive 9‑1‑1 addresses; members clarified the board is assigning names only and Warren County handles technical approvals and including fire access verification.
The Johnsburg Town Board approved two resolutions to assign names to private roads so properties can receive 9‑1‑1 addresses. The chair said the measures are necessary because new homes lack addresses tied to emergency services; a member clarified, "All we are doing is approving the name so they can get, get a 9‑1‑1."
During discussion members asked whether fire companies needed to approve the roads; staff responded the naming and addressing process goes through Warren County and does not make the town responsible for road‑code compliance or passability. The board moved, seconded and approved both naming resolutions by voice vote. The action allows the county to issue addresses for emergency response but does not obligate the town to upgrade the private road surfaces.
Board members noted Calvin Road is the nearby connector for Roman Road and that naming will help first responders locate the new homes.
