County Engineer's Report
Open Right-of-Way Portion of Platted W. Foster St., Seventh Avenue Acre Tracts
This Report is in response to an Open Right-of-Way Permit application (Exhibit A) submitted by
Heather Graham. The intent of the County Engineer's Report is to evaluate and provide
preliminary design parameters/criteria to facilitate the appropriate design of the project. After
agency approval of all documents required by this report the applicant shall be issued a permit
by the Public Works Department.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Plat name: Seventh Avenue Acre Tracts
Road / Street Name: Platted W. Foster St.
Adjacent to: Assessor Parcels #994200023, Lot 126
Distance: Approximately 100 feet
Sections 3, Township 29 North, Range 1 W
The road is not proposed to be a County Road (Exhibit B = Site Plan).
EXISTING CONDITIONS
This permit would authorize the opening of a portion of the platted W. Foster St. right-of-way
(subject ROW), extending from milepost 0.07 to milepost 0.08, to provide access to the
applicant's parcel (No. 994200023).
The applicant originally applied in 2024 to open a longer segment of W. Foster St., extending
from the end of the county-maintained roadway at milepost 0.04 west to their parcel. An
engineer's report for that proposal was approved on August 19, 2024, under Resolution No. 46-
0819-24R. However, the applicant has not proceeded with submitting engineering plans or
advancing construction for that segment.
In the interim, a separate property owner has applied for and is actively pursuing an Open
Right-of-Way Permit (RAP2026-00005) to open a portion of W. Foster St. that overlaps with the
segment previously approved for the applicant. This newer permit (RAP2026-00005) would
extend the roadway from milepost 0.04 west approximately 150 feet to milepost 0.07,
providing access to parcel No. 994200040.
As a result, the current proposal has been revised to focus only on the segment necessary to
access the applicant's parcel. The proposed work under this permit would begin at
approximately milepost 0.07—at the end of the privately maintained portion of W. Foster St.—
and extend west approximately 100 feet to milepost 0.08.
Page 1 of 7
Beyond the applicant's parcel, the platted right-of-way continues west for approximately 450
feet and has the potential to provide access to a total of seven parcels, including the
applicant's.
DESIGN STANDARDS
Roads shall be constructed to the County's adopted County Road design standards:
• American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Policy on
Geometric Design of Highways and Streets (most current version),
• Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Design Manual and Standard
Specifications for Road, Bridge and Municipal Construction,
• Jefferson County Unified Development Code JCC 18.30.060 Grading, JCC 18.30.070
Stormwater, and JCC 18.30.080 Roads.
Based on proposed use, potentially serving less than 10 parcels, the typical section required will
be for a "Local Service Road" with a minimum 14 foot wide traveled way with 3 foot shoulders
and 20 foot unobstructed width. The request to open this proposed segment of road is not for a
county-maintained roadway, therefore, it is not required to be paved and the applicant will be
responsible for the maintenance of this section of roadway.
RIGHT-OF-WAY
Platted right-of-way width: Sixty feet is the AASHTO recommended ROW width in rural county
areas. The current ROW width as platted is 50 feet. This width appears adequate in this case.
Right-of-way centerline location
Roadways shall be constructed on the right-of-way centerline unless this is not feasible due to
topography, environmental conditions (e.g., wetlands, water bodies, unstable slopes), or
transitions to existing roads.
Prior to construction, the right-of-way centerline shall be staked by a licensed professional land
surveyor or located in the field based on existing monuments or property corners set by a
licensed professional land surveyor.
DESIGN SPEED
Speed limit may be less than 25
This is a privately maintained dead-end road on public right-of-way, and no posted speed limit
is required.
DESIGN TRAFFIC VOLUME
The projected Average Daily Traffic (ADT) per residence is between 6-10 trips per day. This
segment of right-of-way, when opened, will provide access to two parcels, with the potential to
serve up to 7 more in the future.
Page 2 of 7
SIGHT DISTANCE
Adequate sight distance for the road approach to the newly opened segment of W. Foster St.
must be met based on the criteria within the WSDOT design manual, Chapter 1340 and/or the
AASHTO design manual.
ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION PLANS
The proponent shall construct the roadway to the minimum standards depicted on the Typical
Section shown in Exhibit C.
The proponent shall submit road construction plans prepared and stamped by a licensed civil
engineer to the Public Works Department for review prior to commencing construction.
Road Construction Plan general requirements
Road plans shall meet the following general requirements:
• Be prepared by a licensed Washington state civil engineer;
• Include a plan view and a profile view;
• A scale of 1 inch = 50 feet or less;
• Depict the typical section;
• Depict project limits;
• Depict right-of-way centerline;
• The design shall accommodate both existing and future lot access and utility service.
Plan View
As applicable, the plan view shall at a minimum depict:
• Horizontal alignment of the proposed centerline at 50 feet stations;
• Horizontal curve data;
• Cut and/or fill slopes;
• Intersection design;
• Drainage facilities: Existing and proposed, including culvert size, length, and material;
centerline station and elevation; slope, and skew angle;
• Stormwater management facilities;
• Utilities: Existing and proposed, both above and below ground; and
• Any existing or proposed features that would be affected by the proposed road
construction, whether in or outside of the right-of-way.
Profile View
As applicable, the profile view shall at a minimum depict:
• Existing elevations and proposed finished grades at 50 feet stations;
• Vertical curve data; and
• Drainage facilities.
Page 3 of 7
MINIMUM STRUCTURAL SECTION
Privately-maintained roads: The typical minimum cross-section consists of 4 inches compacted
gravel base, 4 inches crushed surfacing base, and 2 inches compacted crushed surfacing. A thicker
structural section may be required by Public Works based on roadway function or site soils. An
alternative structural section may be proposed based on analysis by a licensed civil engineer.
All materials used in the construction of the structural section shall meet the requirements of
the WSDOT Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge and Municipal Construction.
SURFACING
Privately-maintained roads: An improved roadway surface (asphalt or bituminous surface
treatment) is not required.
MATERIALS TESTING
Privately-maintained roads: The applicant shall be responsible for ensuring that materials and
construction methods conform to WSDOT Standard Specifications. At its discretion,the Public
Works Department may direct replacement of materials that do not meet specifications or require
testing of materials that appear not to meet specifications.
CROSS SLOPES
Local Service Roads and Rural Access Roads shall either be crowned at the centerline with -2%
cross slopes or have a continuous -2% cross slope from shoulder to shoulder. Stormwater
design must be taken into consideration when determining appropriate cross slope.
ROAD GRADE
Privately-maintained roads:
• Road grades shall not exceed 12% or require review without prior approval by the
appropriate Fire District.
• Roads grades exceeding 12% may require an improved roadway surface, either hot mix asphalt
(HMA) or bituminous surface treatment (BST).
• Road grades shall not exceed 15%.
EMERGENCY TURNAROUNDS
A turnaround area is required and shall conform to the Public Works Department's adopted
design standards. See Exhibit D.
HORIZONTAL CLEARANCE TO OBSTRUCTIONS
For roads with a posted speed limit of 25 MPH or less, a 10 feet wide clear zone shall be
maintained between the edge of traveled way and any obstructions.
UTILITIES
Utility installations shall meet the requirements of the Jefferson County Code, Chapter 13.56
Utilities. Any utilities installed within the right-of-way require review and approval for
Page 4of7
installation and location within the right-of-way as determined through the Department of
Public Works utility permit process.
STREET LIGHTING
No street lighting is required. If the Applicant desires to install a street light, all costs associated
with the installation and maintenance are the responsibility of the Applicant and shall be
coordinated with the Jefferson County PUD#1.
ROAD APPROACHES
Road plans shall depict proposed road approaches (Exhibit E) to the private residences to be
served. Approaches shall be an integral part of the roadway and constructed at locations
acceptable to the parcel owner(s).
GATES
This road will not be maintained at public expense. The Applicant will be required to maintain
the roadway. Installation of gates, barriers, or signs that block the public's use of this right-of-
way after the road is constructed are NOT allowed.
DRAINAGE, EROSION CONTROL, AND STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
The Jefferson County Unified Development Code, Section 18.30.070 Stormwater Management
Standards adopts the standards of the Washington Department of Ecology Storm water
Management Manual for Western Washington (most current version).
A Stormwater Management Permit is required for projects that exceed 2,000 square feet of
impervious surface or 7,000 square feet of land-disturbing activity. See Exhibit F for comments
from the Department of Community Development. The proponent shall contact the Jefferson
County Department of Community Development to discuss permit requirements and application
procedures:
Jefferson County Department of Community Development

Port Townsend, WA 98368
(360) 379-4450
ROAD AND STORMWATER MAINTENANCE AND NO PROTEST AGREEMENT
A Road and Stormwater Maintenance and No Protest Agreement is required for this facility to
be located on public right-of-way.
Any privately maintained road and stormwater facility on public right-of-way shall be
maintained at the owners' expense and as outlined in the Road & Stormwater Facility
Maintenance and No Protest Agreement. A No Protest Agreement is required for any privately
maintained road on public right-of-way. The applicant has applied for a permit to construct a
privately-maintained gravel roadway on public right-of-way. The County Engineer has
recommended that this request be approved. It is recognized that this private road does not
meet current County road standards for a public roadway which would require a wider roadway
Page 5 of 7
with an asphalt paved or bituminous surface. In consideration of the County agreeing to waive
the requirements to construct to full public road standards, the Grantor must also enter into an
agreement with the County not to protest the formation of a Road Improvement District (RID)
or other pro rata cost sharing mechanism to improve the roadway in the future should
improvements become necessary whether proposed by petition or by resolution of the Board
of County Commissioners or by both petition and resolution. The Grantor(s) further agree to
join in any proposed petition for such road improvements. See Exhibit G for this Agreement.
ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION, CERTIFICATION, AND MONUMENTATION
Construction Documentation
The applicant shall provide the Public Works Department with complete road plans in electronic
format to scale on 11x17 inch paper. Following completion of roadway construction, the
proponent shall submit to Public Works complete "As-Built" or "As Constructed" record
drawings. The drawings shall reflect any changes made to the original design. The proponent
or designee shall keep detailed records of the as constructed locations of all surface and
subsurface facilities to be included on the record As-Built or As-Constructed drawings.
Construction Certification
Certain items will need to be inspected during construction of these roadways. These
requirements will be identified once complete plans have been submitted to Public Works for
review.

Subject: RE: Open Right-of-Way Application
Hi Terry, this open right-of-way would result in less than 7,000 sq.ft of new land disturbing activity(excluding existing
driveways) and does not contain any critical areas.
DCD Planning would not require a stormwater permit provided that the disturbed area would be stabilized with gravel
or seeded with grass.
Based on the above DCD would not have any permits or requirements for this open right-of-way permit.
Thanks

Attached is a letter forwarded to your department requesting comments with regard to the request to open a portion of

To: Board of Commissioners
Josh Peters, County Administrator
From: Eric Kuzma, Public Works Director
Agenda Date: June 22, 2026
Subject: Authorization for Opening of Right-of-Way—W. Foster Street
Statement of Issue:
The Board is asked to approve a resolution granting permission for the applicant to open a
portion of platted W. Foster Street right-of-way, extending approximately 100 feet westerly
from the end of the privately-maintained segment of W. Foster St. This action is necessary in
order for property owner, Heather Graham, to establish legal access to her parcel. A resolution
authorizing the right-of-way opening is attached for the Board's consideration.
Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's & Con's:
The proposed area of right-of-way is located within the Plat of Seventh Avenue Acre Tracts. This
road is not proposed to be a County road; therefore, the County will not be responsible for
maintenance should this request be approved.
Per RCW 36.80.030, the supervision of the right-of-way, including the development of road
standards is under the review of the County Engineer, acting under the supervision and
authority of the Board of County Commissioners. The County Engineer has overseen the
preparation of standards for opening County right-of-way at this location as outlined in the
attached Engineer's Report.
No known drawbacks are associated with this request, assuming all conditions and construction
requirements are met.
Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis:
There are no anticipated costs to the County. All permitting and inspection fees are the
responsibility of the applicant. There will be no cost to the County for maintenance or
construction should this right-of-way be opened.
Recommendation:
Jefferson County Public Works recommends approval of this application to open a portion of
platted W. Foster St. for approximately 100 feet as outlined in the attached Engineer's Report.
The Board is asked to sign the Resolution and return to Public Works.
