VIRGINIA: At the business meeting of the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors held in
the General District Courtroom of the Edwin R. Shields Courthouse Addition in Chatham,
Virginia on Tuesday, July 16, 2019, the following resolution was presented and adopted:
WHEREAS, Section 33.2-332 of the Code of Virginia, permits the hard surfacing of
certain unpaved roads deemed to qualify for designation as a Rural Rustic Road; and
WHEREAS, any such road must be located in a low-density development area and have
no more than 1,500 vehicles per day; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors of Pittsylvania County, Virginia("Board") desires
to consider whether the following Routes should be designated a Rural Rustic Road: Route 912
(Buck Horne Road), from: Route 360 to Route 660; Route 660 (Alderson Road), from Route
710 to the Halifax County Line; Route 713 (Lester Road), from Route 662 to 1.6 miles north of
Route 662; Route 927 (Hickey Road), from Route 40 to Route 685; and Route 1070 (Rodgers
Road), from Route 659 to the end of state maintenance; and
WHEREAS, the Board is unaware of pending development that will significantly affect
the existing traffic on these roads; and
WHEREAS, the Board believes that these roads should be so designated due to their
qualifying characteristics; and
WHEREAS, these roads are in the Board's six-year plan for improvements to the
secondary system of state highways.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Board requests that these roads be hard
surfaced and, to the fullest extent prudent, be improved within the existing right-of-way and
ditch-lines to preserve as much as possible the adjacent trees, vegetation, side slopes, and rural
rustic character along the roads in their current state.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a certified copy of this resolution be forwarded to
the Virginia Department of Transportation Residency Administrator.
