2018 ROAD STANDARDS REVIEW COMMITTEE Introduction The existing Kittitas County Road Standards are a result of a minimal revision effort conducted in 2015. The primary result of the revision was to cap the number of private lots on a dead end road to 30 — consistent with adopted fire code. For the past two years, Public Works staff has compiled desired revisions reaching well beyond the minor effort of 2015. Recently, KPG (an on-call civil engineering consultant with PW) delivered a draft 2018 Road Standards package. This effort represents a wholesale revision to existing county road standards. PW desires having a group of County stakeholders review the KPG effort, offer revisions and assist PW through the code adoption process. To that end, PW is requesting the Board of County Commissioners consider forming a review committee supporting implementation of the new proposed standards.
