Commission weighs requiring developers to post bonds for county road repairs
Summary
County Attorney Clyde Richard presented a draft resolution that would require subdivision developers to post bonds covering potential damage to county highways when tying in, citing limited examples in other counties and recommending highway-department enforcement.
Robertson County's legal advisor described a draft planning-and-zoning resolution that would require developers to post a bond to cover potential damage to county highways caused by construction traffic.
"If you pass this resolution tonight, the highway department will require a bond on the front end for repair of the county road because of that," Richard said, noting the county studied other jurisdictions and met with Williamson County staff to shape the approach.
Richard acknowledged enforcement is a practical concern and said the highway superintendent and highway commission would be responsible for accepting and enforcing bonds at the conclusion of projects. Commissioners discussed the proposal's purpose — to protect the county from repeated road damage when heavy truck traffic uses narrow county roads during subdivision construction — and indicated the draft will move forward for further consideration by planning and zoning.
