§ 13.56.150. Location.
A.
Installations should be located to minimize need for later adjustment to accommodate future Roadway improvements and to permit access to servicing such installations with minimum interference to Roadway Traffic. The County shall make available to Owners a copy of its six-year transportation improvement program (or capital facilities and transportation plan where required), in order to minimize Road user inconvenience should future Road improvements (on existing or new alignment) require adjustment or relocating of the Facilities. Installations shall also be located to minimize impacts to critical areas, as defined in the County's Critical Areas Title 24 TCC and the County's Agricultural Uses and Lands Critical Areas Chapter 17.15 TCC, as enacted or subsequently amended.
B.
If applicable, the Owner and/or Permittee shall be responsible to meet the minimum clear zone requirements for all Work. Clear zone shall be defined as the roadside area at the edge of the traveled lane that is available for safe use by errant vehicles. The available clear zone is the distance, measured in feet, perpendicular to the Roadway beginning at the edge of the traveled lane to the closest part of any fixed object or nontraversable obstacles as defined in the current Washington State Department of Transportation Design Manual (M 22-01) and the current AASHTO "A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets" (Green Book).
C.
Survey control monuments, including existing monuments, disturbed, destroyed or removed during construction, shall be placed or replaced by a registered surveyor, at the expense of the Permittee, in accordance with recognized good practice of land surveying, and in conformance with all Specifications and Applicable Law.
