<p class="MsoNormal">I’m hoping for suggestions regarding a road maintenance agreement for a private road. There’s approximately 10-15 homes on a private, dead-end road. I need to determine how to allocate costs for maintenance and improvements of the road.
From where the city road connects to the private road, the first house you come to obviously uses a smaller portion of the private road as compared to the last house on the end of the private road. The plat map states that “All maintenance and/or construction
of private roads is the responsibility of the lot owners and shall be in direct relationship to usage of said road.”<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a common way of calculating the percentage or amount each homeowner should be responsible for based on use? Like where the house on the end of the private road would pay more than the first house on the private road? I’m just having
trouble determining what that calculation might look like. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or sample provisions. Thank you!<o:p></o:p></p>
