Chapter 17.48. DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS
Table A MINIMUM DESIGN STANDARDS
Notes:
(1) Design shall be in accordance with Oregon Department of Transportation Design Standards.
(2) Design shall be in accordance with AASHTO standards.
(3) Pavement widths are variable,depending on such factors as anticipated traffic volumes,and whether the road section
involves turn lanes,bike lanes,and whether frontage roads border an arterial or collector,etc.
(4) The required base depth may be increased when a C.B.R.,or R-valve is required by the Road Department.
(5) Cul-de-sac bulb to be constructed with a 45-foot minimum radius.
(6) Increase in grade of 2 percent may be allowed in unusually steep areas.
(7) No curb for rural frontage roads.
(8) 20'allowed for cul-de-sac's and roads with low anticipated traffic volumes as long as separate multiple use paths are
provided. 28'width required(including the required 4'striped shoulder bikeway in each direction)for circulator and primary
subdivision access roads and other roads when separate multiple use paths are not provided.
(9) The larger of the two widths is necessary if a shoulder bikeway is required(4'for collector and 5'for arterial).
(10) 20'allowed for cul-de-sac's and roads with low anticipated traffic volumes. 24'width required for circulator and primary
subdivision access roads.
(11) Sidewalks required for new subdivisions and partitions,within Unincorporated Communities,that result in an average lot
size of 11,000 square feet or less.
(12) Widths are variable,but in no case shall a swale be less than 6 feet in width. Swales shall conform as much as practicable
to DBQ best management practices for non-underground injection control(U IC) systems such as grassy or vegetated
bioswales designed(sized)to mitigate anticipated storm water runoff.
(13) Where drainage swales are not required,the standards for drainage in Title 17,Chapter 17.48 shall still apply.
(14) 6-foot sidewalks required on both sides of Highway 97 between South 11th Avenue and Central Avenue intersections.
Includes pedestrian crossing improvement at B Avenue and C Avenue intersection (see Terrebonne Comprehensive Plan
Ma p D-3).
(15) 5-foot curbless sidewalks with a drainage swale required on both sides of the road.
(16) 5-foot curbless sidewalks with drainage swales required in Terrebonne from West 19th Street to 15th Street on the south
side of C Avenue(see Terrebonne Comprehensive Plan Map D-3),or those roads in Tumalo designated for sidewalks(see
Tumalo Comprehensive Plan Map D2).
(17) 5-foot curbless sidewalks with drainage swales required along school frontage on B Avenue and 5th Street(see Terrebonne
Comprehensive Plan Map D-3).
(18) Where allowed,parking must be off pavement.
(19) 40 feet immediately adjacent to arterial road,or 60 feet when frontage road is separated from arterial by private land.
(20) In the Neighborhood Commercial,Community Facility,Community Facility Limited a Districts,where a
paved-multi use path is not required in Figure 16(Non Motorized Plan)of Title 23,sidewalks at least five feet wide shall be
installed at the time of development. The sidewalks shall be property line tight and meet ADA accessibility requirements.
The sidewalks shall be connected to the required �h pate sididentifi ^n Figure 16,the Non Motorized Plan-
(21) 10-foot sidewalks required on both sides of US Highway 97 between First/Reed and 6th Street intersections.
(22) Rather than a continuous paved parking shoulder,parking in designated pullout areas can be provided along the collectors
for access to open space,parks and residential lots.
(23) The minimum width is 8 ft. However,8 ft.wide multiuse paths are not recommended in most situations because they may
become over-crowded. They should only be constructed as short connectors,or where long term usage is expected to be
low,and with proper horizontal and vertical alignment to assure good sight distances. 10 ft is the standard width for a two-
way multi-use path but they should be 12 ft wide in areas with high mixed-use. Optimum width should be based on the
relative use by cyclists and pedestrians. High use by skaters may also require greater width.
