Call it the Law of Unintended Consequences.For years, residents of Poquito Valley, north of the Viewpoint subdivision, dealt with the inconvenience of a dirt road. When it rained, the muddy road became nearly impassable.When it was dry, people complained about how poorly it was maintained.Finally, Yavapai County agreed to pave Poquito Valley Road as part of an improvement district, at a cost of $2,600 per two-acre parcel assessed to property owners.
