PROJECT DESCRIPTION Plat name: Irondale Acre Tracts Road/ Street Name: Platted Garfield St. Adjacent to: Assessor Parcel #962700035 Distance: Approximately 75 feet Sections 12, Township 29 North, Range 1 W The road is not proposed to be a County Road (Exhibit B = Site Plan). EXISTING CONDITONS This Permit would officially open a segment of platted Garfield St. right-of-way (subject ROW) to provide access to the Applicant's parcel #962700035. The access to th is segment of Garfield St. is northerly of the intersection of Jacobsen Dr. and Goldenview Dr. The subject ROW extends to a trail segment which meets Washington Ln., approximately 30 feet beyond the area to be opened, and, as such, the subject ROW is unlikely to be a through road due to the presence of a wetland area. The proposed driveway is located so it is outside of a wetland area but within the buffer and identified as the preferred location in the wetland report attached as Exhibit I. This segment of right-of-way is adjacent to a parcel presently being developed with access off Jacobsen Dr. at mile post 0.318 right. 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.
