RE:517 Ferndale Road N(Variance#17-3890) <br /> Date: - Wednesday,January 11,2017 11:56:40 AM <br /> Melanie, <br /> I do not believe our ROW ordinances apply in this case as the structures are outside of the ROW. <br /> However the same principles should be considered: Best practice is to keep ROWs clear of <br /> immovable objects for safety and maintenance efforts. When objects are necessary with in the <br /> ROW we try and keep them 10 ft from the travel way. For local roads and streets, a minimum clear <br /> zone of 7 to 10 feet is considered desirable on sections without curb (AASHTO A Policy on <br /> Geometric Design of Highways and Streets). When 10 feet is not possible due to topography or <br /> some other practical difficulty we try to get at least 5 feet of clear zone from the edge of pavement. <br /> That said this is a low volume, low speed private road with numerous objects(trees, utility poles) <br /> less than 10 feet from the edge of pavement so these obstruction do not seem to be out of the norm <br /> for this roadway. <br /> (1007.5) <br /> (1006.9) <br /> (1006.8) o <br /> •4,j <br /> 06.2) L = <br /> in , P4.----.1. --AR Pint CO <br /> (1006.3) (1006.
