Georgia by amending the following sections: Section 302 -
Development Plan - require multiple access points and
interconnectivity to unsubdivided lands. Section 400 - General
Standards for Streets - require multiple access points and
inconnectivity to unsubdivided lands and lengths of cul-de-
sacs. The question was raised concerning Home Owner
Associations (HOAs) being obligated to maintain secondary
access roads into subdivisions. This is a burden that an HOA
will have responsibility for based on the decision of the
developer when the developer is in control of the HOA. The
HOA folks get left holding the bag for maintaining a road
without having being part of the decision making process. If a
satisfactory resolution is not brought forward, the Commission
should amend or rescind Section 302. (Requested by
Commissioner Sias)

Planning & Development Update on SA-51
Department:Clerk of Commission
Presenter:
Caption:Provide an update from Planning & Development reference the
following: SA-51 - A request for concurrence with the Augusta
Georgia Planning Commission to approve a petition to amend the
Land Subdivision Regulations for Augusta, Georgia by amending
the following sections: Section 302 - Development Plan - require
multiple access points and interconnectivity to unsubdivided
lands. Section 400 - General Standards for Streets - require
multiple access points and inconnectivity to unsubdivided lands
and lengths of cul-de-sacs. The question was raised concerning
Home Owner Associations (HOAs) being obligated to maintain
secondary access roads into subdivisions. This is a burden that an
HOA will have responsibility for based on the decision of the
developer when the developer is in control of the HOA. The
HOA folks get left holding the bag for maintaining a road without
having being part of the decision making process. If a satisfactory
resolution is not brought forward, the Commission should amend
or rescind Section 302. (Requested by Commissioner Sias)

It is a extreme safety hazard!! What is our path forward?

SA-51- A request for concurrence with the Augusta Georgia Planning Commission to approve a petition to
amend the Land Subdivision Regulations for Augusta Georgia by amending the following sections: Section
302 - Development Plan - require multiple access points and interconnectivity to unsubdividedlands. Section 400 - General Standards for Streets - require multiple access points and interconnectivity to
unsubdivided lands and length of cul-de-sacs.
Attachment number 1 \nPage 1 of 2
Item # 9
The question was raised concerning Home Owner Associations (HOAs) being obligated to maintain secondary
access roads into subdivisions. This is a burden that an HOA will have responsibility for based on the decisionof the developer when the developer is in control of the HOA. The HOA folks get left hotding the bag formaintaining a road without having being part of the decision making process. If a satisfactory-resolution is notbrought forward, the commission should amend or rescind Section 302.
Thanking everyone in advance.
Sammie L. Sias
Commissioner,
Augusta Richmond County

Augusta Transit’s “Travel Training Program,” which is in the
early stages of development. This program will incorporate

from the Comprehensive Operational Analysis that is due to be
completed in Q2 of 2017.

which include: • Providing high quality public transit services •
Implementing image improvement solutions • Establishing a work
environment that instills unity, teamwork, achievement, and trust •
Maintaining budget and pursuing efficiencies • Pursuing the latest
transit technologies, including vehicles, and best practices.
Public/Private Partnerships are critical to improving Transit within

SIIBJECT: Support for a Community Awareness Campaign for Augusta Transit
CAPTION: A motion to receive Commission support for the Walton Foundation for lndependence to
develop and provide a Community Awareness Campaign for Augusta Transit.
BACKGROUND: The mission of the Walton Foundation for Independence is to inspire philanthropy to
support programs and services that create an inclusive lifestyle for people with disabilities in our
community to live, work, and play.
There are many individuals throughout Augusta that have limited ability to gain access to jobs, medical
appointments, shopping, and other leisure activities because of the disabilities that they face. Often their
only access to transportation is by using Augusta's Transit services. However, many are not aware of the
service and do not know how to use it.
The purpose of this Community Awareness Campaign for Augusta Transit is to improve mobility options
for those individuals with disabilities by removing barriers to transportation service and expanding their
transportation mobility options. Further, this campaign will increase awareness of the transportation
opportunities that Augusta Transit provides for the community. The program will seek to educate our
citizens on the benefits and use of transit through a variety of venues that can include news media, public
service announcements, social media, paid advertisements, and other opportunities.
Objectives: The objectives of this campaign include the following:
o Increase awareness of Augusta Transit's current transportation services and the new value-added' featureso Support and enhance Augusta Transit's "Travel Training Program," which is in the early stages
of development. This program will incorporate information on "how to use" the system including
