Chapter 1006-2. ROAD DEDICATION AND IMPROVEMENT |
§ 1006-2.202. Findings—General.
In enacting this chapter the board of supervisors finds that the county has experienced explosive increases in population and motor vehicle operation, and extensive changes from the former predominantly agricultural uses to land development for high-activity purposes other than agricultural with attendant building construction, which factors directly result in rapidly rendering the present internal road system inadequate in width and development to provide minimum acceptable service capacity to the lands being developed, which inadequacy is growing at an increasing rate. The indirect result of these factors of change and growth is to increasingly tend to deny to the public the use of roads of minimum standards for safe and convenient vehicular and pedestrian access and travel between many points inside and outside the county.
