Attachment to Road Standards Variance Application <br />Owner Name: David Warren and Ruth Musgrave (Warren) <br />1. Property Tax Parcel Number: 723236 (1802 Teanaway West Fork Rd) <br />2. Narrative Project Description: <br />Road Easement Descri tp ion <br />Subject property is one of two 20 acre parcels owned by Warren located entirelywithin <br />the DNR owned Teanaway Community Forest (along with two other privately owned <br />properties). Access to the property (the driveway) is across both a DNR easement <br />through a portion of the Teanaway Community Forest and through property owned by <br />private landowner Peter Caron into (and through) the Warren parcel #713236. The <br />easement across DNR land predates DNR ownership, was granted by a private timber <br />company and is routed along the original logging roads. It is approximately 3/4 of a mile <br />Long driveway from Dingbat Road (as of May 20th, 2025 —see below) <br />While the inheld parcels were accessed for decades along a narrow dirt/gravel road <br />along the West Fork Teanaway River, first by previous timber company owners, then by <br />previous and current inholding landowners, the legal easement across now DNR owned <br />land is off Dingbat Road (a publicly available, gravel extension of West Fork Teanaway <br />Rd). In building improvements Last year to the Community Forest, DNR built a gated <br />gravel road from Dingbat Rd along the Long unused, but legal easement. That easement <br />was and is opened to the three landowners only, and literally immediately after <br />Rebecca Cruse was exiting the property from her inspection for the access permit. <br />Consequently she did not inspect that portion of the "new" driveway that runs from <br />Dingbat Rd across DNR property to the bridge (see below). In all likelihood, that road <br />also exceeds the maximum 10% slope requirement where it exits Dingbat Road, and <br />which all 3 Landowners now are required to use for access. <br />The easement then continues through DNR land to a bridge across the West Fork <br />Teanaway River. The bridge is 110" wide (subject to check, but it was built to the legal <br />standard for vehicle traffic — I can measure next time I am up there) and is rated as HS- <br />20, (engineered to hold 130,OOOLbs, per letter dated August 16, 1996 from Kegel and <br />Associates Engineers to Boise Cascade Timber Company).
