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 350 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 officially open a segment of platted W. Foster St. right-of-way(subject ROW)
to provide access to the Applicant's parcels #994200023.
The access to this segment of W. Foster St. will come off the end of the County maintained
segment of W. Foster St. at mile post 0.40 from the centerline and run westerly for
approximately 350 feet to provide access to Applicant's parcel #994200023. The platted right-
of-way continues westerly beyond the boundary of applicants property for approximately 450
feet with the potential to access 10 to 12 additional lots. This segment of W. Foster St. right-of-
way has been improved without permits to a 9 foot wide drivable area. This privately
maintained segment of W. Foster St. will connect to the end of the County maintained road
which was constructed with two eleven foot lanes of bituminous surface treatment and gravel
shoulders.
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.
PugeIol7
Based on proposed use, the topography and critical areas, it is possible that this right-of-way
will connect to other platted rights-of-ways within Seventh Avenue Acre Tracts. The minimum
typical section required for this segment of platted W. Foster St. will be for a "Local Access
Road" (see Exhibit C). 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 60 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.
SIGHT DISTANCE
Adequate sight distance 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.
Page 2of7

• Vertical curve data; and
• Drainage facilities.
MINIMUM STRUCTURAL SECTION
Privately-maintained roads: The typical cross-section consists of 2 inches of compacted crushed
surfacing top course,over a minimum of 4 inches compacted depth crushed surfacing base course
over 6 inches compacted depth gravel base. (See Exhibit C). 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.

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 Access Roads shall either be crowned at 2%on centerline, or, 2%across the full width of
the road.
ROAD GRADE
Privately-maintained roads:
• Road grades shall not exceed 12%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 never exceed 15%.
EMERGENCY TURNAROUNDS
A turnaround area is required and shall conform to the Public Works Department's adopted
design standards. See Exhibit C.

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.
Per County Resolution 05-23, residential streets, particularly dead end streets/cul-de-sacs, do
not meet the required public necessity/general public benefit criteria required for
establishment of a County Road and therefore will not be accepted into the County Road
system. Such roads, even though within a public right-of-way, shall be privately maintained.
Due to the projected average daily traffic (ADT) of the proposed road segment, the applicant
will be permitted to construct a privately maintained road on public right-of-way to a standard
less than that of a County Road.
The County Engineer recommends approval to open a segment of public right-of-way to
construct a privately maintained road based upon the criteria in this report.
The Applicant must sign a Road and Stormwater Maintenance and No Protest Agreement in
order to (a) accept responsibility for all road and associated stormwater maintenance, and (b)
enter into an agreement with the County not to protest the formation of a future Road
Improvement District (RID) or other pro rata cost sharing mechanism to improve the roadway
should improvements become necessary whether proposed by petition or by resolution of the
Board of CountyCommissioners, orbothpetitionand resolution. S e Exhibit F for this
by e
Agreement.
ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION,CERTIFICATION, AND MONUMENTATION
Construction Documentation
The applicant shall provide the Public Works Department with complete road plans in electronic
format that can be printed to scale on 11x17 inch paper. Since this will be a privately
maintained gravel road, although the road centerline must be established by a licensed
Page 5 of 7
surveyor prior to construction, centerline monumentation is not required. 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.
Following completion of roadway construction the proponent shall submit to Public Works a
letter, affixed with the professional stamp of the Engineer of Record, certifying that the
roadway and stormwater management facilities have been constructed in accordance with the
design plans and specifications and all applicable federal, state and local agency requirements.
PERMIT
This report is not a Permit.
After the review and approval of all documents, plans, and/or reports required by this report,
and within three (3) years from the date of Board of County Commissioners approval of this
report, and prior to initiating construction, the applicant shall be issued a permit by the Public
Works Department. This Permit specifically outlines the arrangement between the applicant
and the County for work on public right-of-way by the applicant. The Permit will specify
insurance and bonding requirements, general provisions, and other requirements that are
applicable for work to be performed in County right-of-way. The Permit, once issued, will be
valid for one year from the date it is issued. The road right-of-way will not be considered to be
opened until all conditions of the permit are met and the permit is finalized. A sample copy of a
Permit is attached as Exhibit G.
OTHER PERMITS
Other permits and/or environmental review may be required for this project per Jefferson
County Unified Development Code (UDC). Any questions concerning the necessity of other
permits and/or environmental review and the processes should be directed to the Jefferson
County Department of Community Development, 612 Sheridan Street, Port Townsend, WA
98368, Phone (360) 379-4450.
RECOMMENDATION:
Public Works recommends that this request to open County right-of-way to the standards and
requirements listed above be approved. This recommendation will be forwarded to the
Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners for approval by way of Resolution (Draft
Exhibit H). Once completed, inspected and all permit conditions met, the permit will be put in a
Page 6 of 7
'Final' status and this road will be considered to be opened but will be privately maintained and not
become part of the County road system. The right-of-way, however, is public and shall remain open to
the public.

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
