Commission forwards renumbered Roads Ordinance to Council after written concern about absolute cul-de-sac ban

Chairman Wayne Taylor and Attorney Brad Christopherson explained the Roads Regulations were incorporated into the Town Code during codification and renumbered to Title 15, Chapter 152, and Mayor Hollie McKinney noted the draft language incorporates APWA standards. A written public comment was read into the record warning that "In the proposed road ordinance, cul-de-sacs are prohibited" and asking for an exception process to avoid creating undevelopable parcels where connectivity is infeasible.

Commissioners and staff discussed the concern. Chairman Taylor and Commissioner David Riet said the proposed Site-Specific Development (SSD) process could allow a cul-de-sac in extenuating circumstances; Planner Jim Spung noted many communities permit cul-de-sacs only under hardship. The Commission voted unanimously to forward the renumbered Roads Regulations to the Town Council with a positive recommendation.
