Turnover
of subdivision road
to LGU sought
Homeowners
of West Garden Subdivision in the capital town
have asked the Sangguniang Bayan to take an
active hand in the supposed turnover of open
spaces and access roads in their subdivision to
the local government unit.
In
his letter to Vice Mayor Hector A. Sorrera, CSC
Pag-IBIG Homeowners Association president
Bernardino C. Abundo, Jr. informed that the
barangay council of Bigaa, through Resolution
No. 37, series of 2000, had earlier sought the
assistance and immediate intervention of the SB
in the turnover and eventual concreting of the
access road leading to West Garden.
For
more than a year now, residents in the village
have complained about the access road which is
now pockmarked with potholes. They say that the
developer should have completed the concreting
of the road but work on the remaining 100 meters
have yet to be commenced.
Abundo
told the Sanggunian that Batas Pambansa Blg. 220
states that the turnover of open spaces,
including roads and plazas, to the local
government unit where the subdivision is located
is to be done a year after the completion of the
subdivision project.
“It
has been more than five years now but said
access road and even the roads and open spaces
within our subdivision have not been turned over
to the LGU of Virac,” Abundo stressed. He said
the association tried to seek financial
assistance for the concreting of the road but
their attempts were rendered futile because the
road lot remains the property of the developer.
