ODOT Response

The site of this proposed land use action has access to OR 211. ODOT has permitting authority for this facility and an interest in ensuring that this proposed land use is compatible with its safe and efficient operation. Please direct the applicant to the District Contact indicated below to determine permit requirements and obtain application information.

COMMENTS/FINDINGS

The Site Design Review is for minor site improvements on tax lots 7700 and 7800 to accommodate Scandia, a national supplier of conveyor belting and related products. The site will continue to access Main St (OR211) through tax lot 9100 along the vacated Whittenburg Ave right of way. A State Highway Approach Road Permit from ODOT for access to the state highway or written determination (e-mail, fax or mail acceptable) from ODOT that the existing approach is legal for the proposed use is required. The approach will be required to be brought up to current ODOT standasrds.

It is our understanding that tax lots 7800, 7700, 7600, 9200, 9300 and 9100 are currently under single ownership and access easements have not been established for all tax lots to access OR 211 (Main Street) through tax lot 9100. Since ownership of the tax lots may change in the future, ODOT recommends that access easements be established to tax lot 9100 to provide a single shared access to OR 211.

All ODOT permits and approvals must reach 100% plans before the District Contact will sign-off on a local jurisdiction building permit, or other necessary requirement prior to construction.

ODOT RECOMMENDED LOCAL CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL

Access to the State Highway

[X]  A State Highway Approach Road Permit from ODOT for access to the state highway or written determination (e-mail, fax or mail acceptable) from ODOT that the existing approach(es) is/are legal for the proposed use is required. Truck turning templates shall be provided as needed to ensure vehicles can enter and exit the approach safely. Site access to the state highway is regulated by OAR 734.51. For application information go to http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/ACCESSMGT/Pages/Application-Forms.aspx.

 Note: It may take 2 to 3 months to process a State Highway Approach Road Permit.

Shared access will improve highway safety by reducing potential conflicts between vehicles and between vehicles and pedestrians and bicyclists at closely spaced driveways and will implement ODOT Access Management Program goals.
