NO ACTION ON PRIVATE ROADWAYS

The Currituck County Board of Commissioners has decided not to act on a proposed ordinance that would have required private roads to be brought up to minimum state standards.

The county had considered a requirement that private roads include at least a 6- to 8-inch gravel base in new subdivisions of two or more lots.

The regulation was proposed as a way to improve and maintain private roads.

Some residents, particularly in lower Currituck, were upset by the proposal, said Jack Simoneau, the county's planning and inspections director. by CNB
