The. developer now would like to make this road which. connects to Capstone. a gravel road. also, and has plans to retain ownership of the road and make known to the .residents on the road he has the option to..upgrade it at a later date,. but',would like to build the road to County standards at this time and the variance request would only be to the surfacing. He added that residents living on this road would fiave to drive orr gravel roads to get to this road, so it doesn't seem to make ,good sense to require this road to be hard surface when all others are gravel corning to this road.
