recommendation upon petitioner request or consent that the road be presented to the Board
of Supervisors for acceptance consideration.

road for any County maintenance, such as, right-of-way alignment, smoothing of surface,
or maintaining drainage historic paths to help preserve the roadway.

necessary, feasible, or in the overall County best interest, the Board of Supervisors may
remove the roadway from the Program. In the event that at a future date the roadway is
improved to a standard which meets the roadway design standards for regular maintenance,
the Board may accept the roadway into the Regular Roadway Maintenance Program.
