2-105 : Street acceptance procedure.

  1. Roads previously accepted by the city council are designated public roads and are maintained by the City of Baneberry. Roadways not accepted by the city council are designated private roads and are not maintained by the City of Baneberry.
  2. To be accepted as a public road, newly constructed roads must meet the minimum construction standards illustrated in Appendix B or as otherwise specified in the construction standards specified in the Baneberry ordinance adopted to levy a special assessment to construct or improve a specific road or group of roads.
  3. The city may accept newly constructed roads two (2) years after completion, following an acceptance inspection and recommendations by the city road commission, providing no unresolved construction or repair problems remain, including unrepaired damages to access roads caused by construction equipment used to construct the new road.

    1. Construction or repair problems must be resolved by the responsible road builder, prime contractor and/or subdivision developer prior to acceptance of the road by the City of Baneberry.
    2. The road commission may recommend that an acceptance inspection be conducted by a qualified road construction professional/ authority.
    3. Failing such responsible repairs, the road shall remain a private road and the repairs or completion requirements remain an issue to be resolved between the adjacent and affected lot owners and the responsible developer/builder; or, in the case of damage to previously dedicated city roads, between the city and the responsible developer/builder.
  4. Upon acceptance approval by the road commission, the city manager and the city council may, at an open meeting, dedicate and accept the public road by city resolution and amend Appendix A of this chapter (which is located at the end of the chapter).
  5. A register of public roads shall be maintained by the city manager enumerating:

    1. An approved street name as authorized by the Jefferson County Emergency Communication District (911 system).
    2. GPS or survey coordinates of the termini of the new public road. This may be the point where the new road intersects or abuts a previously accepted public road; the centroid of a cul-de-sac or similar turning terminus; or the current terminus after which the roadway continues as a private road.
    3. Date of dedication and acceptance.
  6. Nothing in this section shall prevent the city council from accepting any road or any right-of-way pursuant to law or Tennessee statutes. (Ord. #215-12, Dec. 2015)
