Key Largo resident asks county for help clarifying ownership, funding options to pave Casa Court Drive
Summary
A Key Largo resident asked the commission for guidance on how to get Casa Court Drive paved, saying ownership is unclear and only a handful of homeowners have volunteered contributions; he requested direction on next steps, special assessments or county pathways to acceptance.
At the meeting’s sounding‑board session, Key Largo resident Tom Scaturro appealed to commissioners for help getting Casa Court Drive paved and for clarity about who owns the road. Scaturro said he canvassed roughly 27 property owners and raised only modest donations and that confusion about legal ownership has stalled efforts. "I'm not asking for funds today. I was only hoping for guidance," he told the board.
Scaturro urged the county to work with the neighborhood to develop a pathway for the county to accept the road into the public system, or to identify reasonable special‑assessment options that would not impose an unfair upfront cost on low‑income duplex owners in the community. Commissioners acknowledged the longstanding problem of private or unaccepted roads, noted county programs that can sometimes address paving, and directed staff to provide process guidance and potential financing pathways to the resident and neighborhood advocates.
