RIGHT-OF-WAY USER PERMITS

Instructions

PLEASE READ:

A valid permit to use or occupy the highway right-of-way must be obtained before any construction takes place

within the right of way. No work will be initiated on or off State right-of-way at any commercial site until the site

plans have been approved by the Department of Transportation.

Application for permits can be made in person or sent by mail to the local Department of Transportation District

office in care of the District Deputy Director (ATTN: Permit Department). Signatures by contractor are not

acceptable and will be returned.

Applications for public roads, commercial accesses, or residential driveway approaches shall only bear the

signature of the property owner, the company owner, or the corporate official responsible for construction and

maintenance of the installation placed in the highway right-of-way.

Permits cannot be issued to developers, contractors, property owners, etc. for any utility service installation, ie;

sewer taps, water taps service drops, etc. Applications for these installations must be submitted by the local

governing utility company that services the requested area.

Commercial developments are required to submit the following as a minimum: 4 copies of detailed plans

showing all proposed construction, possible effect of traffic movement and trip generation in and out of the

proposed site, and drainage calculation based on a 10-year retention. Additionally a separate site plan showing all

accesses on both sides of the highway within 1000 feet of the proposed access is required.

The following information should also be included with your application.

A) Location of the proposed work should be indicated in feet at a distance north, south, east, west, from the

nearest intersection indicating which side of the road you will occupy. A plat map must be attached to the

application.

B) Staking is required for all residential property, showing the exact location of the proposed access, as

well as the property lines.

C) Total width of through pavements, and if a divided highway, the width of median and location of existing

median crossovers.

D) Record the width of the pavement and from the edge of a pavement and to the edge of the right-of-way line,

keeping in mind the edge of the right-of-way is usually the utility line. If there is no utility line present, the

rule of thumb for the edge of right-of-way is for the most part 31' from the center line of the road.

E) The proposed width of the new access including the width and radii of any existing access. The

distance between the proposed access and any other access points in either direction. If you do not

have 495' of space between any existing drives and the proposed drive you must do a variance

request. This can be done by letter attached to the permit application. The request should give

justification for why we should permit the variance from our standards.

G) The location and dimensions of proposed buildings and parking area.

H) The location and description of any existing and all proposed drainage structures within the highway right-of-

way.
