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 Route 656 (Wiles Road), a distance of approximately .370 of
a mile, should be designated a Rural Rustic Road; and
WHEREAS, the Board is unaware of pending development that will significantly
affect the existing traffic on this road; and
WHEREAS, the Board believes that this road should be so designated due to its
qualifying characteristics; and
WHEREAS, this road is in the Board's six-year plan for improvements to the
secondary system of state highways.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Board hereby designates this
road a Rural Rustic Road, and requests that the Residency Administrator for the Virginia
Department of Transportation concur this designation.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Board requests that this road 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 road 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.
