Request for County Maintenance of Vista Hi Drive
(1) Thomas C. Volkmann, P.C. letter of July 17, 1997
W'
Enclosure (1) request that Eagle County accept Vista Hi Drive for maintenance. Vista Hi Drive is
a road in Mountain Meadows Ranch, Filing No. 2. The Final Plat for Mountain Meadows Ranch
was accepted by the County Commissioners of Eagle County on July 25, 1979. The Final Plat
indicates that the Board of County Commissioners is not obligated to maintain the streets dedicated
to the public until the improvements are completed to the satisfaction of the Board of County
Commissioners.
Vista Hi Drive was constructed to county standards as verified by a joint field inspection on
September 9. 1997 by Brad Higgins, Assistant Road & Bridge Director, and George Roussos,
County Engineer. The Board of County Commissioners, at a meeting on June 16, 1997 approved
the release of collateral associated with Vista Hi Drive under a Subdivision Improvements
Agreement for Mountain Meadows Ranch, Filing No. 2.
The lots surrounding Vista Hi Drive are currently unimproved and have an assessed valuation of
$24,840. The current mill levy for the Road & Bridge Department, when applied to the
aforementioned assessed valuation, generates $62.10 for road maintenance purposes. Brad Higgins
indicated that the road can be maintained with minimal impact on current operations in the Missouri
Heights area. The annual cost for maintenance is estimated at $3,000.
It is our joint recommendation that Vista Hi Drive be accepted for maintenance by Eagle County.
