widths shall be in -conformance with standards and
specifications set forth in Appendix A of this
ordinance. If land division is located within an
urban growth boundary, compliance with applicable
city street improvement standards and specifications
may be required.
(6) Reserve Strips. Reserve strips controlling access
to streets shall be required when deemed necessary
by the Committee for the protection of public safety
and welfare. The strips shall be dedicated to the
public for future street pruposes.
(3) Future Extensions of Streets. When necessary to give
access to or permit a satisfactory future division of
adjoining land, streets shall be extended to the boundary
of the subdivision or partition and the resulting dead-
end streets may be approved without a permanent turn-
around. Reserve strips shall be required to preserve
the objective of street extensions.
(8) Half Street. Half streets, while generally not
acceptable, may be approved where essential to the
reasonable development of the subdivision or partition
if in conformity with other requirements of these 48
regulations and if the Committee finds it will be
practical to require the dedication of the other
part when the adjoining property is divided. Reserve
strips may be required to preserve the objectives of
half streets.
(9) Cul -De -Sacs. A cul-de-sac shall conform to the conditions
contained in Appendix A of this ordiance.
(10) Street Names. Except for extensions of existing streets,
no street name shall be used which will duplicate or be
confused with the name of an existing street in a
nearby city or in the county. Street names and numbers
shall conform to the established pattern in the city and
shall be subject to the approval of the City Planning
Commission if located within an urban growth boundary
jointly adopted by a city and the County. Street names
shall comply with the provisions of Appendix A unless
superseded by a controlling local government.
(11) Streets Adjacent to Railroad 'Right -of -Way. If the
proposed land division contains or is adjacent to a
railroad right-of-way, provision may be required for
a street approximately parallel to and on each side
of such right-of-way at a distance suitable for use
of the land between the streets and the railroad. The
distance shall be determined by considering the
minimum distance required for approach grades to
a future grade separation and to provide sufficient
depth to allow screen planting along the railroad
right-of-way. In the case of a railroad right-of-way
a land strip of not less than twenty-five feet in
width shall be provided along such right-of-way for
screen planting between the railroad and residential
lots. When such parallel streets are less than eighty
(80) feetfroma freeway or parkway the intervening
property shall be held or developed for park or
thoroughfare purpose only. Streets parallel to
streets which intersect a railroad shall be located
at a distance from such railroad sufficient to make
provisions for any possible grade separations on the
cross streets.
(12) Marginal Access Streets (Frontage Roads). If a land
division abuts or contains an existing or proposed
collector or arterial steet, the Committee may require
marginal access streets, reverse frontage lots with
suitable depth, screen planting contained in a non -
access reservation along the rear or side property
line, or other treatment necessary for adequate
protection of residential properties and to afford
separation of through and local traffic. Provision
may be made for emergency access. All marginal access
streets shall comply with appropriate local road
standards.
(13) Alleys. Alleys should be provided:incommercial and
industrial districts unless other permanent provisions
for access to off-street parking and loading facilities
are approved by the Committee. The minimum width of
an alley in a residential block when platted shall be
sixteen (16) feet. Alleys in commercial and industrial
districts shall not be less than twenty (20) feet.
The corners of all alleys at their intersection with
streets and other alleys shall be curved with a radius
of not less than ten (10) feet.
(14) Access Generally. Each lot shall be provided with a
road having unrestricted access to an existing public
street.
(15) Access Crossing Public Lands. If provision of public
"requires the crossing of public lands, approval of the
subdivision shall be obtained from the agency having
jurisdication over siad public lAnds crossed over prior
to Hearings Officer approval of the tentative plan.
(16) Access to State Highway. Where a subdivision requires
an access approach to a State Highway, approval shall
be obtained from the State Highway Dept. prior to
Hearings Officer approval of the tentative plan.

Section 7.030. BLOCKS.
(1) General. The length, width and shape of blocks shall
accommodate the need for adeqixate building site size
and street width and shall be compatible with the
limitations of the topography.
(2) Size. No block shall be more than 1,000 feet in
length in lots of five acres or less and 2,640 feet
in lots of less than five acres between street corner
lines unless adjacent to the arterial street or
unless the topography or location of adjoining streets
justifies an exception. The recommendation minimum
block length along an arterial street is 1,800 feet.
A block shall have sufficient width to allow for two
building sites unless topography of the location of
and adjoining street justifies an exception.
(3) Easements
(A) Utility Easements. Easements shall be provided
along property lines when necessary for the
placement of overhead or underground utilities
and to provide the subdivision with electric
power, communication facilities, street lighting,
sewerlines, waterlines, gaslines,or drainage.
Such easements shall be labeled "Public Utility
Easement" on the tentative and final plat;
they shall be at least 12 feet in width and
centered on lot lines where possible, except
utility pole ggylines easements along the rear
of lots adjacent to unsubdivided land may be
reduced to 10 feet in width.
(B) Drainage. If a tract is traversed by a water
course such as a drainage way, channel or
stream, there shall be provided a stormwater
easement or drainage right-of-way conforming
substantially with the lines of the water course
or in such further width as will be adequate for
the purpose. Streets or parkways parallel to
major water courses or drainage ways may be
required.
(C) Pedestrian and Bicycle Ways. When desirable
for public convenience, a pedestrian or bicycle
way in conformance with the comprehensive plan
may be required to connect to a cul-de-sac or
to pass through an unusually long or oddly shaped
block or otherwise provide appropriate circulation.
Section 7.040. BUILDING SITES.
(1) Size and Shape. The size, width, shape and orientation
of building sites shall be appropriate for the location
of the land division and for the type of development and
50
use contemplated, and shall be consistent with the
lot size provisions of the zoning ordinance,
with the following exceptions: I
(A) In areas not to be served by a public sewer,
minimum lot and parcel sizes shall permit
compliance with the requirements of the Depart-
ment of Environmental Quality and County Sanitarian,
and shall be sufficient to permit adequate sewage
disposal. Any problems posed by soil structure
and water table as related to sewage disposal by
septic tank shall be addressed and resolved in the
applicants initial plan.
(B) Where property is zoned and planned for business
or industrial use, other widths and areas may be
permitted by the Hearings Officer. Depth and width
of properties reserved or laid out for commercial

for the off-street service and parking facilities
required by the type of use and development contem-
plated.
(2) Access. Each lot and parcel shall abut a street other
than an alley for a distance of at least 50 feet.
(3) Through Lots and Parcels. Through lots and parcels
shall be avoided, except where they are essential
to provide separation of residential development
from major traffic arterials or adjacent non-
residential activities, or to overcome specific
disadvantages of topography and orientation. A planting
screen easement at least ten (10) feet wide, across
which there shall be no right'of access, shall be
required along the line of building sites abutting such
a traffic arterial or other incompatible uses, except
that if the lot or parcel abuts on any side an area to
which access is likely to be required for emergency
vehicles, the planting screen shall be sufficiently
short to allow such access.
(4) Lot and Parcel Side Lines. The lines of lots and
parcels, as far as is practicable, shall run at right
angles to the street upon which they face, except that
on curved streets they shall be radial to the curve.
(5) Division by Rights-of-way, Drainage Ways. No lot
established after the effective date of this ordinance
shall be divided by the boundary line of the County,
city or other taxing or service district, or by the
right-of-way of a street, utility line or drainage
way, or by easement for utilities or other services,
or by major irrigation delivery canals.
- 51 -
(6) Solar Access. The lines of lots and parcels, as far
as is practicable shall be oriented to allow structures
constructed on the lots or parcels to utilize solar
energy by establishing the long axis in the east-,
west direction permitting sunlight access three
hours before and after solar noon. Easements
necessary to assure solar access may also be required
for subdivision approval.
Section 7.050. ' GRADING OF BUILDING SITES. Grading of
building sites shall conform to the following standards
unless physical conditions demonstrate the propriety of
other standards.
(1) Cut slope ratios shall not exceed one foot vertically
to one and one-half feet horizontally.
(2) Fill slope ratios shall not exceed one foot vertically
to two feet horizontally.
(3) The composition of soil for fill and the characteristics
of lots and parcels made useable by fill shall be
suitable for the purpose intended.
Section 7.060. SPECIAL SETBACKS If special building
setbacks lines are to be established in a subdivisicn,
they shall be shown on the tentative plan and final plat
and included in the deed restrictions.
Section 7.070. LARGE BUILDING SITES In dividing tracts
into large lots or parcels which exceed the minimum lot
size permitted by either the zoning map or the comprehensive
plan map, the Subdivision Review Committee may require that
the blocks be of a size and shape which will facilitate
future redivision. Such conditions shall allow for future
street extensions and openings .
Section 7.080. LAND FOR PUBLIC PURPOSES
(1) If the County has an interest as expressed in its
capital improvements program in acquiring a portion of
a proposed subdivision for a public purpose, or if the
County has been advised of such interest by A school district
or other public agency, and there is reasonable assurance
that steps will be taken to acquire the land, the
Hearings Officer may require that those portions of the
subdivision be reserved for public acquisition, for a
period not to exceed one year, although such area may
be platted and approved as part of the subdivision.
(2) All subdivisions Ohall be required
of land for recreational purposes

Inside urban growth boundaries, the park dedication
standard shall be that established by mutual agreement
between Deschutes County and the appropriate city and
park district authorities. The Hearings Officer shall
determine whether a fee in lieu of land dedication is
appropriate. The land to be dedicated for park purposes
must actually be functional park land. The amount of
the in -lieu fee shall be determined by multiplying the amount
of land to be dedicated times the per acre most recently
assessed value as shown on county tax rolls of the subdivsion
lots to be sold in the subdivision.
Example.
10 acre lots require .0075 acres of land for park purposes
for each acre of subdivision. A 100 acre subdivision would
require .075 acres of land for park purposes. Assuming
the lots are assessed at $3,500/acre ($3,500 x .075) the
in -lieu fee would be $262.50.
(4) The in lieu fees paid in accordance with this section
shall be set aside in a fund whose assets are
limited to the acquisition, improvement, or maintenance
of park land.
Section 7.090. FLOOD HAZARDS. Areas subject to ponding
of surface waters or flooding caused by surface waters or
a high water table, shall not be subdivided until necessary
measures have been taken to eliminate the hazard involved.
The existence of such hazard may be just cause for disapproval
of the proposal.
Section 7.100. WATER SUPPLY. An adequate water supply
10 shall be required for all subdivisions and partitions, and
shall be one of the following:
- 53 -
(1) Individual wells: In any development where individual
wells are proposed, the applicant shall furnish evidence

SPECIFICATIONS
FOR ROAD
DESIGN
AND
CONSTRUCTION
I •i/ 1
These specifications are intended to protect the best interests of the public of
Deschutes County while not forcing an inordinate burden onto the potential developers
40that
will need to meet the requirements detailed on these pages. It is our intent
that the composition of this pa►nphlet will allow the engineering, surveying,
developing, contracting, and planning communities and the general public in Deschutes
County to easily determine what will be necessary to successfully accomplish road
construction in this County.
Because Deschutes County is only one of several public agencies concerned with
development of adequate transportation facilities, and because "overlaps" in areas
of responsibility exist, when a more stringent or more appropriate requiremenA is
requested by another authority, Deschutes County will normally allow the other
agency to control.
These specifications are intended to complete and compliment the Deschutes County
Planning Ordinances. Terms not defined within these pages shall be assumed to be
as defined in the Planning Ordinances. In case of conflict between the requirements
of these specifications and other documents relating to the construction of County
Roads, Public Ways, and Private Roads falling under these provisions, the order of
precedence shall be as follows (the first listed sources shall control over the
latter listed sources):

AASHTO Policy on Geometric Design of Rural Highways (1965)
Unless otherwise detailed herein, all roads shall be designed and constructed in
accordance with the 1965 Edition of A Policy on Geometric Design of Rural Hi hwa s
by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials AASHTO .
The "Tables, Appendices, and Standard Drawings" that form a part of these Specifica-
tions may be amended by Order of the Board of County Commissioners. The text and
"Tables, Appendices, and Standard Drawings" shall be maintained by the County Clerk,
and any amendment subsequent to the adoption of these Specifications shall be filed
in the Journal of the Board of Commissioners and shall become effective upon the
date signed by the Board of Commissioners. The County Engineer shall maintain a
true copy of the "Tables, Appendices, and Standard Drawings" and add thereto, any
amendments made by the Board. Failure to amend the drawings shall not affect the
validity of any amendments made by the Board to the Specifications or "Tables,
Appendices, or Standard Drawings." The Board may, from time to time, direct the
County Engineer, by Order, to replace the "Tables, Appendices, and Standard Draw-
ings" or portions thereof, on file with the County Clerk, with a revision thereof,

Area Classification: Three areas are classified per zoning ordinances (Urban, Sub-
urban, and Rural)— 4
Contiguous to a Public Way_: Touching except on a point when the property touching
the public way on a point has no access to the public way. Property which is con-
tiguous to a public way at a point and has any access at all to the same public
way shall be considered contiguous to that public way.
COLngy Eatneer: As used in these specifications, the County Engineer shall be
the Deschutes County Engineer, the Deschutes County Roadmaster, or their Authorized
Representative.
Development: Includes subdivisions, all partitions, and all other land use permits
requiring site plan or design review.
Functional Classification: All roads are generally functionally classified as
Arterial, Collector, or Local. These classifications are based on the present or
planned usage of the roads.
Main Road: The road intersected by a side road. The road planned to be the most
important of intersecting roads.
Major Driveway: An access creating potential traffic impact, impact which is
judged by the County Engineer, to be major.
Major Site Plan: A site plan providing for a use that reasonably may be anticipated ,
to generate a substantial increase in traffic to and from the site, or if the site
fronts on a congested street. A substantial increase in traffic is defined as that
which in the opinion of the County Engineer will create an unsafe condition on the
road or street, in view of existing traffic counts, types,oftraffic usage, and the
width of.the existing pavement. Substantial increases include those that make the
traffic counts exceed the capacity recommended for the existing road in traffic
engineering references.
* Any terms not defined above or in the text of these Standards, shall be as
defined by the County Ordinances for Planning, the General Specifications, or
common engineering usage. a

1. ROAD DESIGN
A. Data Table Contents: The radius of curvatures, grades, vertical curves
and intersection radii of streets shall meet or exceed the standards
prescribed in Tables I & 2 herein.
B Cross Road Intersections: Where "side" roads (and/or major driveways)
intersect with a "main" road, the "side" roads shall be 'directly opposite
of each other, across the "main" road, or shall be separated by at least
two hundred fifty feet (250') along the "main" road. (The extended
centerlines of the side roads shall intersect each other at the centerline
of the main road, or shall be separated by, at least, 250'.)
C. Intersection Angles: Road intersections should be at right angles. If
topography requires a lesser angle exceptions may be granted, but in no case
shall the acute angle be less than 60 degrees.
D. Location of Centerline: The centerline of the road and the centerline of the
right-of-way shall coincide.
E. Stubbed Roads: Roads that are planned to be continued onto presently un-
developed lands shall be terminated at the boundary of the present develop-
ment with a temporary, unpaved, cul-de-sac. When the contiguous land is
developed, the roads shall be extended into this development and the temporary
cul-de-sac shall be removed by the developer of the contiguous land. The
easement dedication for the area required for construction of the temporary
cul-de-sac bulb which lies outside the normal right-of-way of the stubbed
road, shall be dedicated to the public in the final plat (as indicated on
the Standard Drawing herein). The dedication of an easement for the
construction and use of a temporary cul-de-sac bulb exclusive of the end
of a stubbed road shall be substantially as follows: "a construction and
transportation easement to the public across that portion of the eighty
foot (80') diameter circle lying outside the right-of-way of the stubbed
road and within the development, the center of which is located on the
centerline of said stubbed road and thirty six feet (36') from the boundary
of the development at which the road is stubbed is hereby dedicated to the
public. This easement shall terminate when an extension of said stubbed
road is constructed and accepted pursuant to ORS 368.546."
F. Partial Width Roads: These roads shall be discouraged and are to be used *
only when a viable alternative cannot be found. Cross sections and standards
shall comply with those of the appropriate area and functional classifications
of the eventually planned "full" road if practicable. (See the standard
drawings herein.)
G. Cul-de-sacs: Cul-de-sacs shall have a length of less than six hundred feet
(600') -and more than one hundred feet (100') from the center of the bulb to
the center of the main road.
H. Blocken h: Block length shall generally be more than one thousand feet
(1000 but less than one half mile.

I. Access Restrictions: Access to Arterials is restricted and access•to
Collectors is limited. Access permits are required except when access
is granted by the Board of County Commissioners through the subdivision
process.
J. Road Names: Except for continuations of existing roads, no road name
shall duplicate or be confused with the existing names within Deschutes
County and surrounding areas. (See Appendix A.)
K. Private Roads: The following minimum road standards shall generally
apply for private roads to be reviewed by the Road Department in con-
nection with the planning process:
1. Minimum roadway width = 20 feet
2. Minimum radius of curvature = 50 feet
3. Maximum Grade = 12%
4. At least one road name sign will be provided at each intersection
for each road.
L. Improvements of Public Rights -of -Ways: The developer of a subdivision,
partition, or site plan, on both sides of or contiguous to, a public
right-of-way, shall be responsible for the donation of additional right-
of-way and the improvements thereof, as follows:
1. If the public way is contained within the development, the cost of
improving the road to standard conditions shall be, wholly, the
responsibility of the developer.
2. If the development is contiguous to a public way, the costs
assigned thereto shall be as follows:
a. For a development creating a condition which would be
unsafe if the public way were not improved, the total cost
of improving the way as is 1.) above.
b. For the first improvement required of a contiguous developer
of a portion of the public way, the developer shall bear the
cost of constructing the curbs on one side and all the earth-
work and aggregate base.
c. For the next improvement by a contiguous developer to a public
way, that has previously been improved as in b.) above, the
developer shall bear the cost of all additional improvements
required.
3. The responsibility of cost for the developer can be met by:
a. construction of the improvement or
b. formation of a special road fund, with the County Treasurer,
of an amount approved by the County Engineer, which shall be
the current approximated cost of the improvement plus ten
percent (10%), which shall be reserved for construction of
Is

the improvement only, which shall totally absolve the developer
of any additional costs at the time of construction, and the
excess of which, if any, above the actual construction cost,
shall be returned to the developer after the construction has
been completed.
M. Partitions: Roadway improvements to, and within, a partition shall be
made when it is partitioned, depending on the minimum parcel size, as
follows:
1. For a parcel size of forty acres or more - a graded road, at least
twenty feet (20') wide, within the right-of-way, capable of being
traveled by emergency vehicles.
2. For a parcel size of ten (10) acres or more, (but less than 40
acres) a graded road at least twenty four feet (24') wide, the
centerline of which coincides with the centerline of the right-of-
way, which is cleared at least thirty two feet (32') wide (16'
each side of centerline).
3. For a parcel size less than ten acres - a road, the centerline of which
agrees with the center of the right-of-way, to either stage one or
stage two standards as indicated in the Standard Drawings and Table
One, as follows:
a. Stage One - road for the first partitioning of the original
parcel, and
b. Stage Two - roads for all additional partitioning of the original
parcel (including improvements made to previous stage one con -

c. An exception to the standards may be granted if the following
conditions are met:
i. There is no need to continue the road through the partition,
now, or in the forseeable future, and a turn -around is pro-
vided; and
ii. The ultimate use of the road will be for not more than three
parcels.
d. The minimal accepted roadway standard, if the above variance is
granted, shall be a cinder surface with a compacted depth of five
inches and all other specifications listed in "K. Private Roads."
N. Primary Access Roads: All new subdivisions shall have a road improved to
primary access standards from a paved County, City, or State maintained
road to and through the subdivision. An exception to the primary access
road requirement may be made by the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners
if the following conditions exist:
1. The subdivision has eight or less lots;
2. Primary access road goes through an existing subdivision; and
3. If average lot area is five (5) acres or greater.
1bIf the above exception is to be granted it must be applied for through the
Road Department on their standard form (See Appendix C), and the following
road standards shall apply:

surfacing, prime coats and paving will be done in accordance with the
1974 edition of Oregon State Highway Division's "Standard Specifications
for Highway Construction", hereinafter referred to as the General Speci-
fications. Whenever these specifications refer to the State, consider
that to mean the County of Deschutes, the appropriate County Department,
or appropriate County address, and likewise, references to the Commission
or the Engineer shall be taken to mean the Board of County Commissioners
or the County Engineer.
B. Testing: All testing, except as herein noted, shall conform to methods
described in "A.A.S.H.T.O." Materials, Part II, Tests", 11th Edition,
1974, or the Oregon State Highway Division "Laboratory Manual of Test
Procedures."
C. Inspect, The County Road Department shall be notified two (2) working
days in advance of the time for subgrade inspection, two (2) working days
in advance of the time for base inspection and two (2) working days in
advance of the time for paving inspection. Previous stages of construction
are to be inspected and approved before placing the pavement. The final
inspection shall require seven (7) days notice.
If proper notification for inspection is not received, or if all stages of.
construction have not been approved by the County Engineer in writing,
the Deschutes County Road Department will not grant approval of the road
for a period of time set by the County Engineer.
D. Clearing: The right-of-way shall be cleared of all fixed objects. However,
in developments where traffic safety would not be involved, and a lesser re-
quirement would not create a hazard, the right-of-way shall be cleared a
minimum of forty feet (40'), or four feet (4') beyond the edge of the
shoulder or curb line of the finished road; also in the case of individual
trees which are considered exceptional or stately, an allowance may be
made by the County Engineer in writing, to leave the trees within the above
mentioned area.

be mounted onto four inch (4") by four inch (41 by twelve foot (12') pressure
treated wooden posts of Standard lumber grade or better. Every sign shall be
mounted at approximately a right angle to the direction of, and facing, the
traffic it is intended to serve, unless mirror reflection reduces legibility,
in which case the sign shall be turned slightly away from the road. Sign
posts shall be located not less than six feet (6') nor more than twelve feet
(12') from the edge of the road. The top of the post shall be nominally eight
feet (8') above the elevation of the near edge of the road. The posts shall
be painted white. All reflective material shall be "M Engineer Grade" or
approved equal.
Signing for subdivisions shall be procured and erected at the expense of the
developer. The County will not manufacture, sell, or install any signs, until
roads are accepted into the County Maintained System.
