Lot areas in excess of minimum standards may be required for
reasons of sanitation , steep slopes, slide hazards , poor drainage,
flood hazards or other unique conditions or features which may
warrant protection of the public interest.
16 .38.022 Roads.
(a ) Roads shall be designed with appropriate consideration for
existing and projected roads , anticipated traffic patterns,
topographic and surface water drainage conditions, public
convenience and safety , and the proposed uses of the land served .

maintenance then it will need to be designed to County subdivision
standards. When the County is petitioned to take over the road it
must be constructed to these standards.
(c ) All lots shall be serviced with an internal roadway system
when located adjacent to arterial and collector roads.
(d ) Road approach permit(s) for roads that access onto a
County or state right-of-way shall be secured prior to approval of

constructed to restore the original drainage as nearly as possible.
( f ) When there is a reasonable potential for future
development within a large lot subdivision , or an easement through
the property within the large lot subdivision accessing other

Planning Department may, on a case by case basis, recommend to the
Administrator that higher road classification standards be required
as delineated in the requirements for subdivisions . The
Administrator shall have final approval of such increased
standards . Conversely, the Pubic Works Director and/or Planning
Department may recommend lower road standards when such action
would better serve the general public interest. The Administrator

Planning Department, and appropriate recommendations shall be given
to the Administrator . The Administrator shall have final approval
of all developer proposed roadway design standards.

Department and/or Public Works Department and approval of the
Administrator.
( k ) The Administrator , upon recommendation of the public Works
Director and/or Planning Department, may on a case by case basis

steep slopes 17%+ , unstable slopes, frequently flooded areas ,
wetlands, etc . ) .

community property, recreation area, or other similar open space
or may be included as a part of a lot except any lot containing
such unsuitable land must also contain sufficient land of suitable
characteristics to meet County standards for construction of a
dwelling . The Administrator may, on a case by case basis, require

complete construction of the roadway system, required drainage
facilities , or other required improvements the subdivider may elect
to post a performance security for these improvements. This
posting would allow the divider to receive final approval and
recording prior to installing required improvements. This posting
is not required if the developer , as a condition of approval ,
agrees to complete all required improvements [16.38.016 ( f ) ] . Said
security shall guarantee completion of the work within a stated
period of time not to exceed two (2 ) years. Said security

as density subdivisions are encouraged , and shall be considered on
a case by case basis as variances.
16.38.056 Variances . Where the Administrator or applicant
finds that extraordinary hardship may result from the strict

so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest
secured . Provided that such variation will not have the effect of
nullifying the intent and purpose of the Comprehensive Plan , Title
