Any Stipulations?
Access to arterial roadways shall be spaced at intervals of 500 feet, collectors 300feet, and local roads 130 feet from nearby public or private intersection. A driveway serving two or more dwellings is considered a road. (See Arterial/Collector Roadways Map.) A paved apron must be constructed for two or more parcels accessing an arterial or collector. (TCRS, Section 7.04 & Appendix 7-A)

Where do you get the permit?
Permits may be obtained from Development Review in The County Courthouse, Building 1, 2^nd Floor, at the Permit Assistance Center.

Is there a fee?
See permit fee schedule.  The property owner is responsible for the installation and costs. There may be other review fees associated with the permit.  

What does the inspector look for on the first inspections?
Inspectors look for drainage issues (i.e. culvert size), and available site distance.

What is the next step?
A letter will be mailed to the property owner informing the owner if the culvert is or is not required, the culvert installation expiration date, and if there will be any further stipulations required.

Final Step:
The property owner will need to call Thurston County Development Review Section at 357-2493 to request a final inspection when completed.
