CHAPTER 5 Right-of-Way 5.1 Right-of-Way Requirements This section sets forth right-of-way requirements, including minimum widths and restoration. 5.1,1 General The right-of-way widths for County Highways shall generally be 200 feet, unless the county engineer determines a lesser amount is appropriate. If the property abutting a County Highway is to be subdivided or a permanent access facility is being requested, the owner shall dedicate, at no cost to the County, sufficient land to satisfy this right-of-way requirement. 5.1,2 Restoration of Right-of-Way Upon completion of any construction work within the right-of-way, the right-of-way shall be restored in accordance with the permitted plans acceptable to the County Engineer. COMMENTARY: The additional right-of-way required in this section is needed to accommodate future highway improvements that are needed because of the cumulative traffic generation of developments and to accommodate access facilities. The right-of-way widths are also needed to accommodate roadway drainage, snow storage, and utilities and facilities, and to provide for traffic and pedestrian safety, 13 .,;:';
