RCW 36.86.010
Standard width of right-of-way prescribed.
From and after April 1, 1937, the width of thirty feet on each side of the center
line of county roads, exclusive of such additional width as may be required for cuts and
fills, is the necessary and proper right-of-way width for county roads, unless the board of
county commissioners, shall, in any instance, adopt and designate a different width.
This shall not be construed to require the acquisition of increased right-of-way for any
county road already established and the right-of-way for which has been secured.
RCW 36.86.020
Minimum standards of construction.
In the case of roads, the minimum width between shoulders shall be fourteen feet
with eight feet of surfacing, and in the case of bridges, which includes all decked
structures, the minimum standard shall be for H-10 loading in accordance with the
standards of the state department of transportation. When the standards have been
prepared by the county road engineer, they shall be submitted to the county legislative
authority for approval, and when approved shall be used for all road and bridge
construction and improvement in the county.
RCW 36.86.030
Amendment of standards —Filing.
Road and bridge standards may be amended from time to time by resolution of
the county legislative authority, but no standard may be approved by the legislative
authority with any minimum requirement less than that specified in this chapter. Two
copies of the approved standards shall be filed with the department of transportation for
its use in examinations of county road work.
RCW 36.86.040
Uniform standard for signs, signals, guideposts —Railroad grade
crossings.
The county legislative authority shall erect and maintain upon the county roads
such suitable and proper signs, signals, signboards, and guideposts and appropriate
stop, caution, warning, restrictive, and directional signs and markings as it deems
necessary or as may be required by law. All such markings shall be in accordance with
the uniform state standard of color, design, erection, and location adopted and designed
by the Washington state department of transportation. In respect to existing and future
railroad grade crossings over county roads the legislative authority shall install and
maintain standard, nonmechanical railroad approach warning signs on both sides of the
railroad upon the approaches of the county road. All such signs shall be located a
sufficient distance from the crossing to give adequate warning to persons traveling on
county roads.
RCW 36.86.050
Monuments at government survey corners.
The board and the road engineer, at the time of establishing, constructing,
improving, or paving any county road, shall fix permanent monuments at the original
positions of all United States government monuments at township corners, section
corners, quarter section corners, meander corners, and witness markers, as originally
established by the United States government survey, whenever any such original
monuments or markers fall within the right-of-way of any county road, and shall aid in
the reestablishment of any such corners, monuments, or markers destroyed or
obliterated by the construction of any county road heretofore established, by permitting
inspection of the records in the office of the board and the county engineering office.
RCW 36.86.060
Restrictions on use of oil at intersections or entrances to county roads.
No oil or other material shall be used in the treatment of any county road or
private road or driveway, of such consistency, viscosity or nature or in such quantities
and in such proximity to the entrance to or intersection with any state highway or county
road, the roadway of which is surfaced with cement concrete or asphaltic concrete, that
such oil or other material is or will be tracked by vehicles thereby causing a coating or
discoloration of such cement concrete or asphaltic concrete roadway. Any person
violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
RCW 36.86.070
Classification of roads in accordance with designations under federal
functional classification system.
From time to time the legislative authority of each county shall classify and
designate as the county primary road system such county roads as are designated rural
minor collector, rural major collector, rural minor arterial, rural principal arterial, urban
collector, urban minor arterial, and urban principal arterial in the federal functional
classification system.
RCW 36.86.080
Application of design standards to construction and reconstruction.
Upon the adoption of uniform design standards the legislative authority of each
county shall apply the same to all new construction within, and as far as practicable and
feasible to reconstruction of old roads comprising, the county primary road system. No
deviation from such design standards as to such primary system may be made without
the approval of the state aid engineer for the department of transportation.
RCW 36.86.090
Logs dumped on right -of -way —Removal —Confiscation.
Logs dumped on any county road right-of-way or in any county road drainage
ditch due to hauling equipment failure, or for any other reason, shall be removed within
ten days. Logs remaining within any county road right-of-way for a period of thirty days
shall be confiscated and removed or disposed of as directed by the boards of county
commissioners in the respective counties. Confiscated logs may be sold by the county
commissioners and the proceeds thereof shall be deposited in the county road fund.
RCW 36.86.100
Railroad grade crossings —Obstructions.
Each railroad company shall keep its right-of-way clear of all brush and timber in
the vicinity of a railroad grade crossing with a county road for a distance of one hundred
feet from the crossing in such a manner as to permit a person upon the road to obtain
an unobstructed view in both directions of an approaching train or other on -track
equipment. The county legislative authority shall cause brush and timber to be cleared
from the right-of-way of county roads in the proximity of a railroad grade crossing for a
distance of one hundred feet from the crossing in such a manner as to permit a person
traveling upon the road to obtain an unobstructed view in both directions of an
approaching train or other on -track equipment. It is unlawful to erect or maintain a sign,
signboard, or billboard within a distance of one hundred feet from the point of
intersection of the road and railroad grade crossing located outside the corporate limits
of any city or town unless, after thirty days notice to the Washington utilities and
transportation commission and the railroad operating the crossing, the county legislative
authority determines that it does not obscure the sight distance of a person operating a
vehicle or train approaching the grade crossing.
When a person who has erected or who maintains such a sign, signboard, or
billboard or when a railroad company permits such brush or timber in the vicinity of a
railroad grade crossing with a county road or permits the surface of a grade crossing to
become inconvenient or dangerous for passage and who has the duty to maintain it,
fails, neglects, or refuses to remove or cause to be removed such brush, timber, sign,
signboard, or billboard, or maintain the surface of the crossing, the utilities and
transportation commission upon complaint of the county legislative authority or upon
complaint of any party interested, or upon its own motion, shall enter upon a hearing in
the manner now provided for hearings with respect to railroad -highway grade crossings,
and make and enforce proper orders for the removal of the brush, timber, sign,
signboard or billboard, or maintenance of the crossing. Nothing in this section prevents
the posting or maintaining thereon of highway or road signs or traffic devices giving
directions or distances for the information of the public when the signs conform to the
"Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices" issued by the state department of
transportation. The county legislative authority shall inspect highway grade crossings
and make complaint of the violation of any provisions of this section.

(iii) Roadway monumentation shall be approved by the department of public works.
(iv) Road access permits are required for access to county roads. Applications will be
reviewed by the administrator for the requirements of the environmentally sensitive areas
overlay district (see Article VI-D of Chapter 18.15 JCC) and of the State Environmental
Policy Act (Article X of Chapter 18.40 JCC) prior to being approved by the county
engineer. Such permits shall be limited as follows:
(A) The number of access points along roads shall be limited to one per parcel,
except:
• For agricultural access;
• When the parcel topography makes a single access point impractical for the
entire parcel;
• When access is being provided for commercial uses with 20 or more parking
spaces; or
• When additional access points are required or approved by the county engineer.
(B) New access points to arterial roads shall not be allowed if reasonable access
from any other road is available.
(C) Road access points shall have a clear and unobstructed sight distance in both
directions adequate to ensure public safety. Appropriate site distances shall be
determined by the county engineer, based on speed limit, roadway surface, and
other pertinent factors.
(D) Storm drainage and culvert sizing shall be based upon engineering analysis and
the standards of JCC 18.30.060(2) and 18.30.070. Maximum length of surface
drainage for roadside ditches before discharging onto adjacent property or into
natural drainageway shall be 1,000 feet.
(E) The permits shall be conditioned to address impacts to environmentally sensitive
areas or as indicated by SEPA analysis, if applicable.
(F) The county engineer shall have the authority to approve or deny all road access
permits, which decision is final and not subject to administrative appeal.
(b) Road and Right -of -Way Dedication.
(i) Where any public road right-of-way abutting a property proposed for a development is
subject to a conditional use permit or to Chapter 18.35 JCC, Land Divisions, and has
insufficient width to conform to the county's adopted road standards for the class of road
involved, the county engineer may:
(A) Require the dedication of sufficient additional right-of-way to bring the abutting
half of the right-of-way (measured from the existing county road centerline) into
conformance with the adopted standards; and
(B) Obtain additional easements to cut and fill on the subject property adjacent to
the county road, and to provide for drainage of surface and stormwater runoff by
directing the runoff along or into natural drainageways on lots adjacent to the county
road. Such drainage should be designed and mitigated to avoid or minimize impacts
to the environment and to the affected properties.
(ii) The county may accept the dedication of new county roads and rights -of -way subject
to the following standards:
(A) Only if all of the following criteria are met:
• The road right-of-way is at least 60 feet in width and is dedicated to Jefferson
County in fee simple;
• The road meets all other county standards; and
• An evaluation by the county engineer deems the road to be of general public
benefit.
(B) When roads are proposed to be dedicated to Jefferson County, the county
engineer shall make a report to the board of county commissioners regarding the
practicality and necessity of accepting the dedication, the effect of the dedication on
traffic circulation, and any other matters deemed to be material by the county
engineer.
(C) All road rights -of -way dedications shall be processed in accordance with final
plat procedures contained in Chapter 18.35 JCC, Land Divisions.
(c) Road Vacations. All applications to the board of county commissioners seeking vacation of
a county road right-of-way or any portion of one shall be subject to the requirements of
Chapter 12.10 JCC, Road Vacations. [Ord. 14-18 § 4 (Exh. B); Ord. 8-06 § 1]

Agenda Request
To: Board of Commissioners
Mark McCauley, County Administrator
From: Monte Reinders, P.E., Public Works Director/County Engine%.
Agenda Date: November 21, 2022
Subject: A Resolution Related to Jefferson County Road Standards
Statement of Issue: Adoption of a Resolution related to Jefferson County's road design and
construction standards.
Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's Et Con's: Due to recent changes to 136-50 WAC, Standards of
Good Practice - County Road Department Administration, the County Road Administration
Board (CRAB) is placing renewed emphasis on ensuring that counties have adopted road
standards. Counties are required by 36.86 RCW and 136-50 WAC to adopt county road
construction standards.
Jefferson County complies with the above requirement since its road standards have been
codified in JCC 18.30.080 for many years. JCC 18.30.080 adopts standards including but not
limited to the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Local Agency
Guidelines (LAG) including Chapter 42 "City and County Design Standards", American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) A Policy on the
Geometric Design of Highways and Streets; Federal Highway Administration Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD); and the WSDOT Standard Specifications for Road,
Bridge, and Municipal Construction. Road construction standards imposed through JCC
18.30.080 apply to short plats, long plats, and public county roads, but do not apply to
logging roads, agricultural roads, or driveways.
To graphically depict their road standards, many Washington counties adopt typical roadway
exhibits which are primarily related to roadway and shoulder width. These exhibits also
usually include requirements such as minimum surfacing depth and type, embankment slope
angle, turn -around area, etc. Public Works has used typical roadway exhibits for years and
has taken this opportunity to update these drawings. They are included with this Resolution
as Attachment A so that they can be formally adopted.
Existing Jefferson County road standards also include requirements and standards for building
an approach to a county road (JCC 12.05 Et 18.30.080). RCW 36.75.130 requires parties to
obtain permission from the county before building an approach to a county road and allows
the county to adopt "reasonable rules" for building said approaches. JCC12.05.030 adopts
AASHTO and WSDOT standards while also leaving much discretion to the County Engineer or
Department of Public Works

their designee. Jefferson County, like most counties, uses an exhibit to graphically depict a
typical road approach to convey standards to applicants. Public Works has taken this
opportunity to update this road approach exhibit as well.
Many Washington counties require all or some road approaches to be paved for a certain
distance when connecting to a paved county road. Paved road approaches protect the edge of
the paved county road which otherwise is often damaged by road approaches. Paving also
reduces gravel tracking onto county roads which is detrimental to bicycle travel and which
can present hazards to motorcycles or other vehicles. Paving also helps limit stormwater
sedimentation by reducing sediment transport onto the county road system. Although not an
entirely new requirement, Jefferson County has never formally adopted a policy regarding
paving requirements for road approaches, and has left this matter up to the discretion of the
County Engineer. An updated road approach exhibit included in Attachment A, proposed to
be formally adopted by the Board via this Resolution, will require the first fifteen (15) feet of
any new road approach to be paved when the road will serve multiple parcels including all
short and long plats, a commercial or industrial site that with 30 or more trips per day (15 in
and 15 out), or for any approach which intersects a county road with an ADT of 1,000 vehicles
per day or more. The following table shows how some other counties address this issue:

Lastly, the requirements and standards for installing utilities in the county road right of way
are contained in JCC 13.56. Utility work in the right of way requires permits issued through
the Public Works office. There are no utility standard changes proposed in this Resolution.
Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis: With the exception of new requirements to pave some
private road approaches, adoption of this Resolution does not significantly alter the road
standards which have been in place in Jefferson County Code for many years. Updates to the
road approach standard to require paving in some cases will come at the expense of the
property developer. This paving standard is now common with many counties for the
aforementioned reasons.
