§ 10-98. Access roads.

Any new access to be constructed to connect to a County highway requires issuance of an encroachment permit prior to construction.

a.

No person owning land abutting a County highway shall be refused an encroachment permit for one (1) access road from a County highway to his abutting property at a point on the boundary line between the County right-of-way and his abutting property designated in the permit unless either: (1) there is no point along the boundary line at which an access road can be constructed to provide access with safety to persons traveling the County road; or (2) there is existing access control, such as a one (1) foot no access strip or relinquishment of abutters rights, at the proposed encroachment location, prohibiting access without specific approval by the Board of Supervisors. Any access road which does not meet the requirements of this section shall be deemed unsafe to persons using the access road and to persons traveling the County road.

b.

Every access road or driveway approach to a County highway authorized by an encroachment permit issued pursuant to this chapter shall comply with all applicable requirements of the "Improvement Standards" adopted by resolution or ordinance of the board of supervisors.
