Limerock Road Conversion Program & Grading Cycle

Limerock Road Conversion Program and Tentative Grading Cycle

Historically to Present Day

Beginning in FY 06-07, the Road Maintenance Division initiated the Limerock Road Conversion Program. This program is designed to convert all remaining Limerock roads in Golden Gate Estates, to asphalt.

Under the original program with the allocated funding, approximately three (3) miles of roads were converted each year.

Originally, when one mile of road (5,280 ft) had a total number of 10 homes, or at lEast one home per 528 feet, that road would be placed on the conversion schedule. For a number of years, this program was adequate for the needs of the County. The 'Ten Homes per Roadway Mile' rule of thumb has been replaced with the 'Cost Benefit' rule, per administrative direction.

The 'Cost Benefit' rule determines the largest number of homes per roadway mile (similar to the original program) but now prioritizes roads that would immediately benefit and places them into the schedule accordingly.

At the May 14, 2013, Board of County Commissioners (BCC) Meeting the Board unanimously approved the re-initialization of the Limerock Road Conversion Program. The first five Limerock roads to be converted were prioritized based on the criteria described above, and approved by the Board at the July 9, 2013, BCC Meeting. The first five converted Limerock road were completed as of September 30, 2013.

---

As of 2020, all Limerock roadways with homes were converted and special funding was eliminated.

Roadways are evaluated on a yearly basis at the end of the fiscal year in preparation of the next fiscal year. When a roadway has a completed home, whose primary driveway is on that roadway, it will qualify for conversion. These roads are then placed in the departments asphalt overlay program.

In the event there is a large number of Limerock roads that qualify for conversion, Road Maintenance staff will evaluate how these roads fit into the asphalt overlay program using the cost benefit rule and the percentage of funding that can be utilized for conversion.
