General <br />New roads may be added to the county road system by resolution passed by the BOCC. Sources of <br />new roads are additions, realignments, relinquished State Highways and Forest Service roads, <br />subdivision and other development. Before a new road becomes a part of the county road system, it <br />passes through seven steps: planning, design, right-of-way acquisition or dedication, construction, <br />inspection, acceptance through resolution, and warranty period. <br />The initial approval of subdivision road construction by the County Engineer is for purposes of <br />releasing the developer's development collateral and not for purposes of acceptance by the County <br />for maintenance. The developer shall construct all roads proposed in any development to the <br />required standard with no liability or obligation for such construction or maintenance by the County. <br />The County may bring a road onto the county road maintenance system if the new road has a <br />potential ADT greater than 400, is a through road or the road is identified in the Long -Range <br />Transportation Plan as a future corridor. <br />For roads serving proposed developments, the County shall determine which roads, if any, are <br />intended to be added onto the county road system at the planning stage of a proposed <br />development. Any roads not intended to be added onto the County road system shall be privately <br />developed and maintained in accordance with Kittitas county Road Standards for private roads <br />Preliminary and Final Acceptance <br />For unconstructed roads or roads needing improvements to meet public road standards that are not <br />part of a preliminary plat or project requiring a public hearing, the developer shall petition the BOCC <br />by submitting an on system county road establishment application prior to construction. If approved, <br />the road will be accepted onto the county road system upon an approved final inspection as defined <br />in KCC 12.09.020(K). <br />Roads which are required to be constructed to public road standards and dedicated to the public as <br />a condition final plat or project approval shall be added to the county road system and shall be <br />maintained by the County upon an approved final inspection as defined in KCC 12.09,020(K) and final <br />plat or project approval.
