From: Monte Reinders, Public Works Director
Agenda Date: May 5, 2025
Subject: Authorization for Opening of Right-of-Way— Foster Street from SR19
(Rhody Drive)
Statement of Issue:
The Board is asked to approve a resolution granting permission for the applicant to open a
portion of platted Foster Street right-of-way, extending approximately 250 feet easterly from its
intersection with SR19, also known as Rhody Drive. This action is necessary in order for
property owner, Bernetta Ferguson, to gain 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 prepared 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.
