f. All individual stub-outs shall be privately owned and maintained by the
lot homeowner.
Erosion and Sediment Control Notes (also refer to Chapter 9 Surface Water
Drainage):
27. Approval of these Temporary Erosion and Sediment Control (TESC) plans does not
constitute an approval of permanent road or drainage design (e.g., size and
location of roads, pipes, restrictors, channels, retention facilities, utilities, etc.).
28. The implementation of these TESC plans and the construction,
maintenance, replacement, and upgrading of these TESC facilities is the
responsibility of the applicant/CESCL until all construction is approved.
29. The boundaries of the clearing limits shown on these plans shall be clearly flagged
by a continuous length of survey tape (or fencing, if required) prior to construction.
During the construction period, no disturbance beyond the clearing limits shall be
permitted. The clearing limits shall be maintained by the applicant/CESCL for the
duration of construction.
30. Stabilized construction entrances, in accordance with Standard Details shall be
installed at the beginning of construction and maintained for the duration of the
project. Additional measures, such as constructed wheel wash systems or wash
pads, may be required to ensure that all paved areas are kept clean and track-out to
street right-of- way does not occur for the duration of the project.
31. The TESC facilities shown on these plans must be constructed prior to all clearing
and grading to ensure that the transport of sediment to surface waters, drainage
systems, and adjacent properties is reduced to required levels.
32. The TESC facilities shown on these plans are the minimum requirements for
anticipated site conditions. During the construction period, these TESC facilities shall
be upgraded as needed for unexpected storm events and modified to account for
changing site conditions (e.g., additional cover measures, additional sump pumps,
relocation of ditches and silt fences, additional perimeter protection, etc.), as directed
by the City Engineer.
33. The TESC facilities shall be inspected daily by the applicant/CESCL and maintained to
ensure continued proper functioning. Written records shall be kept of weekly reviews
of the TESC facilities and of samples taken during the wet season (October 1 to April
30) and of monthly reviews during the dry season (May 1 to September 30).
34. Any areas of exposed soils, including roadway embankments, that will not be
disturbed for two days during the wet season or seven days during the dry season
shall be immediately stabilized with the approved TESC methods (e.g., seeding,
mulching, plastic covering, etc.).
35. Any area needing TESC measures not requiring immediate attention shall be
addressed within seven (7) days.
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 2 - Plan Preparation and Bonding
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
36. The TESC facilities on inactive sites shall be inspected and maintained a
minimum of once a month or within twenty-four (24) hours following a storm
event.
37. At no time shall more than one (1) foot of sediment be allowed to accumulate
within a catch basin. All catch basins and conveyance lines shall be cleaned prior to
final inspection. The cleaning operation shall not flush sediment-laden water into a
downstream system.
38. Any permanent flow control facility used as a temporary settling basin shall be
modified with the necessary erosion control measures and shall provide adequate
storage capacity. If the facility is to function ultimately as an infiltration system, the
temporary facility must be graded so that the bottom and sides are at least three (3)
feet above the final grade of the permanent facility.
39. Where straw mulch for temporary erosion control is required, it shall be applied
at a minimum thickness of 2 to 3 inches.
40. Prior to the beginning of the wet season (October 1), all disturbed areas shall be
reviewed to identify which areas can be seeded in preparation for the winter rains.
Disturbed areas shall be seeded within one week of the beginning of the wet season.
-A sketch map of those areas to be seeded and those areas to remain uncovered
shall be submitted to the City of Port Orchard City Engineer. The Inspector can
require seeding of additional areas in order to protect surface waters, adjacent
properties, or drainage facilities.
Structural Notes, (also refer to Chapter 8 Structures):
41. These plans are approved for construction of the standard road and drainage
improvements only. Plans for structures such as bridges, vaults, and retaining
walls require a separate review, approval and building permit by the City of Port
Orchard Department of Community Development prior to construction.
42. Rockeries are considered to be a method of bank stabilization and erosion control.
Rockeries shall not be constructed in fill conditions to serve as retaining walls. All
rockeries shall be constructed in accordance with the rock wall construction
guidelines published by the Associated Rockery Contractors.

best management practices removed, if appropriate.
1.2 BOND REQUIREMENTS
A. General Information
Port Orchard requires Performance and Maintenance Bonds to be posted for most
construction projects to ensure all required project improvements are completed prior to
final construction approval and subsequent certificate of occupancy. Additional
Landscaping bond requirements are found in the Port Orchard Municipal Code. Bond
forms are located in Appendix B of this document.
B. Types of Bonds
There are two types of “bonds” or financial guarantees that the City accepts for
both Performance and Maintenance bonding.
1. Bonding Company Bond. The developer or general contractor obtains a bond from a
bonding or insurance company for the total amount of all site improvements plus
appropriate contingency as approved by the City Engineer. Only a licensed and
bonded company can get a bond from a bonding company. The City has an
approved form that may be used by the bonding company (alternate formats will
require City approval). A contact person from the bonding company and a phone
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 2 - Plan Preparation and Bonding
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
number must be specified on page two of this form and the bond must be notarized.
Individuals cannot obtain a bonding company bond because they do not have the
public liability insurance that the bonding company requires.
2. Cash set-aside. This type of bonding allows a developer, owner or general contractor
to create a cash set-aside account (place money in a special account) at their bank
for the total amount of all site improvements plus appropriate contingency as
approved by the City Engineer. Like the bonding company form, this is an approved
form that must be notarized, and includes the account number, bank contact person
and phone number.
Note: Other types of financial guarantees may also be approved by the City Engineer.
C. Performance Bonds
The City may accept a Performance Bond from the developer, owner or general
contractor on a project. The maximum bonding period is five years. The City Engineer
determines what public and private improvements are required to be bonded for a
specific project and establishes the bond amount based on the approved civil plans and
the estimate submitted. Typically, these include, but are not limited to:
Storm System (conveyance, infiltration, dispersion, detention, treatment, etc.)
Paving & Striping
Grading, Temporary Erosion Control, Rockeries/Retaining Walls
Landscaping: See the landscaping provision in the POMC.
Right-of-Way Restoration
Buffer and Sensitive Area Mitigation, Enhancement, and/or Restoration
Water and Sewer installation
For single family residences and subdivisions (plats and short plats), a performance bond
must be posted for all site improvements, both private and public. A separate bond may
be obtained for buffer and Sensitive Area Mitigation, Enhancement, and/or Restoration.
D. One-Time Bond Reduction
A one-time bond reduction may be granted upon request of the applicant. Upon
request, the City Engineer will conduct an inspection to estimate the percent completion
of the project. Percent completion will be based on the approved plans and construction
cost estimate. No more than 85% of the original bond amount may be released prior to
final construction approval.
E. Maintenance Bonds
Maintenance Bonds are required to ensure the maintenance of the site improvements and
to guarantee against defects of workmanship and materials for a period of two years from
the date of final project approval. In the case of buffer or sensitive area mitigation,
enhancement, and restoration the Maintenance Bond is typically held for either a 3 or 5-
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 2 - Plan Preparation and Bonding
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
year period depending on the permit requirements. The Maintenance Bond must be in
place before the City will inspect and accept the work to release the Performance Bond or
Cash set-aside.
F. Determining Bond Amount
Performance bond amounts are determined by an engineer’s cost estimate or
contractor’s bid for the full cost (including labor, material, equipment, supervision,
overhead, profit, etc.)
of all required site and public improvements and landscape work, etc., as shown on
the approved civil plans. All estimates or bids shall be itemized and must include
material, quantities, units and total unit price. The engineer’s estimate or
contractor’s bid must include all site improvements, both public and private. For
commercial, multi-family projects, and subdivisions, the estimate or bid must
indicate the private and the public improvements separately.
The engineer’s estimate or contractor’s bid submitted by the developer or his/her
designee, will be reviewed and verified by the City Engineer. A contingency will be
established per the estimate, this additional amount is added to cover mobilization,
prevailing wages, oversight, and other such costs to represent the full cost to the City to
complete the construction/installation of the required improvement(s) should the
developer fail to do so.
Once the engineer’s estimate or contractor’s bid is verified and the bond amount
established and approved/accepted by the City Engineer, the bond amount will not be
subsequently adjusted for changes in scope of work, materials, methods, quantities,
increases or decreases, etc. that may be identified/favored by the developer.
G. Bond Release
1. Performance Bond - Bonding Company. This type of performance bond, whether for a
building permit or short plat/subdivision, cannot be released until all bonded site
improvements have been completed and approved. Once all the bonded
improvements have been approved by the City’s Inspector, the developer must
submit to the Public Works Office Manager, a written request to release the
performance bond. Before the performance bond can be released, a 2-year
maintenance bond must be secured. Once the maintenance bond has been
submitted and approved, the City will provide written authorization to the bonding
company to release the performance bond.
A one-time bond reduction is available upon request. The contractor shall revise the
cost estimate, noting the percent completion on each line item. The request shall be
sent to the City Engineer for verification. A maximum of 85% of the bond may be
released prior to project completion.
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 2 - Plan Preparation and Bonding
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
2. Performance Bond-Cash set-aside: This type of performance bond, whether for a
building permit or short plat/subdivision, cannot be released until all bonded site
improvements have been completed and approved. Once all the bonded
improvements have been approved by the City’s Inspector, the developer must
submit to the Public Works Office Manager, a written request to release the
performance bond. Before the performance bond can be released, a 2-year
maintenance bond must be secured. Once the maintenance bond has been
submitted and approved, the City will provide written authorization to the bonding
company to release the performance bond.
3. Maintenance Bond (Bonding Company Bond or Cash set-aside Account): Maintenance
bonds will only be released upon satisfactory completion of the designated
maintenance period. The holder of the bond shall send a written request for an
inspection at least 30 days prior to bond expiration. The bonded improvements shall
be inspected by the City’s representative and written notice will be provided to the
applicant that the improvements are either approved and the maintenance bond can
be released, or that additional work in necessary before the bond can be released.

2.1 Streets – FAQ’s
The City of Port Orchard review staff wants to work with you and your design consultant on the
access and street frontage features of your development application. Design Elements may
include site access design, curb design and location, landscape treatments, sidewalk location
and width, street lighting, and paving requirements. Staff will offer guidance on the parking lot
design to ensure it does not impede traffic on or to the property.
Developments such as short plats, have minimal impact on traffic volumes of the street system.
However, larger retail and office proposals may have considerable impacts. The City Engineer
and the Development Review staff review the traffic impacts of development proposals
according to City Codes and State Law. For projects which require a Traffic Impact Analysis, the
city has provided the parameters for such analysis in Appendix C of this document.
A. Street access and design?
Depending on the City’s design standards for your type of project, the access to your
development could be a commercial driveway, a private road, a joint-use driveway on an
easement, or some other variation.
Review of your access design includes distance from neighboring access points, sight
distance for drivers and pedestrians, width of the driveway, lane configurations such as turn
lanes and drop-off lanes, and construction elements such as design of the driveway apron
and grades.
B. Street use during construction?
Our staff will let you know early in the review process what you can expect as to right of way
use requirements. If work is to be done on SR 160 or SR 166, the City will coordinate with
WSDOT for concurrence of the proposed work. All roadway systems in Port Orchard have
functional classifications (FCC Class); this classification will determine the potential to cut
into the street fronting your site for utility work and the extent of subsequent restoration
requirements. In addition, you may be required to obtain a right of way use permit for
hauling during construction and for any requested street closures. The Public Works Staff
processes right of way use permit applications and will work with you to determine optimal
haul routes and potential lane closure details.
2.2 Street Classifications
A. Function
Function is the controlling element for classification and shall govern right-of-way, street
width and street geometries. Other given elements, such as access, spacing, ADT, etc. are
merely typical. City streets are functionally classified in the City of Port Orchard
Comprehensive Plan Transportation Element into the four categories listed below.
Development Standards are provided in Section 2.3.S, Standard Details.
1. Principal Arterial
2. Minor Arterial
www.cityofportorchard.us
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 2 – Street Types and Geometrics
publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
3. Collector
4. Local Access Streets
a. Local access streets include all streets that are not functionally classified as
arterials or collectors and may be further categorized as follows:
Commercial/Industrial – Commercial or industrial local access streets provide
circulation and loading sites, and abut retail stores, warehouse facilities,
manufacturing facilities, processing plants, dense multi-family dwellings, office and
professional buildings.
b. Residential – Residential access streets provide circulation through single-family
residential neighborhoods and access to individual lots.
c. Sub-Collector – Sub-collector streets provide circulation within neighborhoods and
connections to neighborhood collectors and arterials. They have the potential to
serve up to 100 single-family dwelling units.
d. Sub-Access – Sub-access streets provide connection to sub-collector streets, but do
not support through-traffic. They include short through streets, cul-de-sacs and
loops. Sub-access streets have the potential to serve up to 35 single-family dwelling
units.
e. Minor Access – Minor access streets include permanent cul-de-sacs and loops.
They have the potential to serve up to 16 single-family dwelling units.
5. Private Street – Private streets are privately owned and maintained, with vehicular access
routes serving three or more lots, parcels or tracts, which do not have frontage on a
public street right-of-way. The City of Port Orchard does not maintain private streets.
B. Terrain
Terrain is a basis for further classification of geometric requirements.
1. Flat terrain is that condition where roadway sight distances, as governed by both
horizontal and vertical restrictions, are generally long or could be made to be so without
construction difficulty or major expense. The slope of the existing terrain is from 0 to
5%.
2. Rolling terrain is that condition where the natural slopes consistently rise above and fall
below the roadway grade line. Occasional steep slopes restrict normal roadway
alignment some. The slope of the existing terrain is from 5 to 15%.
3. Mountainous terrain is that condition where longitudinal and traverse changes in ground
elevation, with respect to the roadway, are abrupt and where the roadbed is obtained by
frequent benching or side hill excavation. The slope of the existing terrain exceeds 15%.
Terrain classification pertains to the general character of the specific route corridor. Streets
in valleys or passes of mountainous areas that have all the characteristics of streets
traversing flat or rolling terrain should be classified as flat or rolling. In cases where terrain
classification is in question, the City Engineer shall make the final decision.

City of Port Orchard
Chapter 2 – Street Types and Geometrics
publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
2.3 Street Design Criteria
A. Public Streets
1. Standards for design and construction of new or reconstruction of existing arterial,
commercial and industrial streets in the City of Port Orchard shall follow the criteria
in AASHTO’s “A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets”.
2. The Developer's Engineer should consider certain factors when specifying the
classification of a new public street. These include, but are not limited to, the street
function, traffic volume, terrain, density of the proposed or existing development, the
surrounding developments, the proposed or existing zoning, the existing roads in the
immediate area, and other such factors deemed significant of the proposal being
reviewed in light of public health, safety and welfare. In cases where street classification,
street width and/or right-of-way width are in question, the City Engineer shall make the
final decision.
3. Additional or alternate standards may be required for design and construction of new or
reconstruction of existing streets within the downtown zones. Refer to the City of Port
Orchard Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan.
B. Private Streets
1. While community vehicular access requirements may be served by public streets, owned
and maintained by the City, private streets may be appropriate for some local access
streets. Usually these are minor access streets, either residential or commercial.
2. Private streets may be approved only when they are:
a. Permanently established by tract providing legal access to each affected lot,
dwelling unit, or business, and sufficient to accommodate required improvements,
to include provision for future use by adjacent property owners when applicable;
and
b. Built to City of Port Orchard Design and Construction Standards and Specifications
for local access, as set forth herein and
c. Properly signed and are accessible at all times for emergency and public service
vehicle use; and
d. Not obstructing, or part of, the present or future public neighborhood circulation
plan developed in processes such as the City of Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan,
applicable community plan, or Capital Improvement Program; and
e. Not going to result in land-locking of present or future parcels; and
f. Not needed as public streets to meet the minimum street spacing requirements of
these Standards; and
g. Designed to serve a minimum potential of two dwelling units when the entire length
of the private street system to the nearest public street is considered. The maximum
potential is the number of dwelling units that can possibly be served by the street
www.cityofportorchard.us
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 2 – Street Types and Geometrics
publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
when physical barriers, zoning or other legal constraints are considered; and
h. Maintained by a capable and legally responsible homeowners' association or other
legal entity made up of all benefited property owners with an escrow account and a
road maintenance agreement for all parties involved, under the provisions as
established by the City of Port Orchard; and
i. Clearly described on the face of the short plat, or other development authorization
and clearly signed at street location as a private street, for the maintenance of which
City of Port Orchard is not responsible; and
j. A road maintenance agreement shall be established for all parcels benefitting from
the access and shall be recorded prior to issuance of first Certificate of Occupancy for
a structure in the development.
3. The City of Port Orchard will not accept private streets for maintenance as public streets
until such streets are brought into conformance with current City of Port Orchard Design
and Construction Standards and Specifications and dedicated appropriately. This
requirement will include the design standards for the street classification placed upon the
private street.
4. The City of Port Orchard will not accept private streets within short plats when the streets
providing access to the plat are private and already have the potential to serve more
than the number of lots specified in Section 2.2.A.5 Private Streets. Short plats proposed
on properties to which the access is over private streets that do not meet the standards
in this section shall be denied.
C. Half Streets
1. A half street may be permitted as an interim facility only when:
a. Such street shall not serve as primary access to more than 16 dwelling units or tax
lots; and
b. Such alignment is consistent with or will establish a reasonable circulation pattern;
and
c. There is reasonable assurance of obtaining the prescribed additional right-of-way
from the adjoining property with topography suitable for completion of a full-section
street.
2. A half street shall meet the following requirements:
a. Right-of-way width of the half street shall equal at least 33 feet; and
b. Should be designed to accommodate ultimate section; and
c. Traveled way shall be surfaced the same as the designated street type to a width not
less than 20 feet. Curb, planter strip and sidewalk shall be constructed as required
for the designated street type; and
d. Interim edge of street shall be finished with shoulders, ditches, and/or side
slopes so as to assure proper drainage, bank stability, and traffic safety; and
www.cityofportorchard.us
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 2 – Street Types and Geometrics
publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
e. Gravel shoulders shall be provided to a width of 2 feet and adequate drainage
provided on the unimproved half of the street; and
f. Half streets shall not intersect other half streets unless so approved by the City
Engineer.
3. When a half street is eventually completed to a whole street, the completing builder shall
saw-cut the existing pavement along the center of right of way to establish the final
centerline and shall reconstruct the original half street as necessary to produce a proper
full-width street of designated section to include grinding and overlaying the original
street segment from intersection to intersection.
4. The obtaining of any right-of-way needed to accomplish the above shall be the
responsibility of the owning builder or developer.
D. Cul-de-sacs and Eyebrows
1. In general, permanent cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets are discouraged in the design of
street systems and should only be used when the presence of natural features;
topography and/or vehicular safety factors make a vehicular connection impractical.
Where cul-de-sacs or dead-end streets are unavoidable, site or subdivision plans shall
incorporate provisions for future vehicular connections to adjacent, undeveloped
properties, and to existing adjacent development where existing connections are poor.
2. Whenever a cul-de-sac dead end road extends more than 150 feet measured from the
centerline of intersecting road to the farthest extent of surfaced traveled way, a widened
"bulb" shall be constructed.
A minimum public right-of-way diameter across the bulb section shall be 100 feet. The
right-of-way may be reduced with approval of the City Engineer.
Minimum diameter across the bulb shall be per the currently adopted International Fire
Code.
Cul-de-sac turnarounds in areas identified as Commercial or Industrial in the adopted
City of Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan Map shall have a minimum roadway diameter
of 100 feet. When on-street parking is required an additional 16 feet of paving is
required.
3. Whenever a non-through (dead end) street serves more than two lots or extends more
than 150 feet from centerline of the accessing street to farthest extent of surfaced
traveled way a widened "bulb" (cul-de-sac) shall be constructed.
4. The cul-de-sac island is an optional feature for any cul-de-sac, subject to City of Port
Orchard approval. If provided, the cul-de-sac island shall have full-depth vertical curb.
Minimum radius shall be 10 feet (maximum 15 feet) and shall provide at least 30 feet of
paved traveled way width in a curb type section around the circumference. The island
shall be landscaped and shall have adequate topsoil to support the growth of
acceptable vegetation with a slope from the center of the island to the curb edge
adequate to allow water runoff. Artificial materials that mimic plants or grass are not
acceptable alternatives to living vegetation. The adjoining lot owners shall maintain the
www.cityofportorchard.us
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 2 – Street Types and Geometrics
publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
vegetation.
5. A permanent cul-de-sac shall not be longer than 450 feet measured from centerline of
intersecting street to the center of the bulb section along the centerline of the street.
Proposed exceptions to this rule will be considered by the City Engineer based on long-
term traffic planning factors such as topography and critical areas.
6. The City Engineer may require an off-street walkway and/or an emergency vehicle access
to connect the cul-de-sac at its terminus with other streets, parks, schools, bus stops, or
other pedestrian traffic generators, if current or future need exists.
7. If a street is temporarily terminated at a plat or phase boundary, and serves more than
three parcels or is longer than 150 feet, then a temporary cul-de-sac shall be constructed
at the boundary, in accordance with the Standard Details.
A barricade with a sign stating "Street to be Extended in Future" shall be installed at the
terminus of the temporary cul-de-sac. Appropriate easements shall be recorded if the
temporary cul-de-sac extends into the adjacent property.
Removal of the temporary cul-de-sac, restoration and extension of the sidewalk, landscape
strip, storm drainage systems, and street illumination shall be the responsibility of the
developer who extends the street. Plat development, as it relates to finished grade, shall
allow for the logical extension of said improvements without significantly influencing the
existing development and residents.
8. The maximum cross slope in a bulb shall not exceed six (6) percent in any direction.
9. Partial bulbs or eyebrows shall have a minimum paved radius and geometry of a cul-de-
sac design as described above. The island shall be offset ten (10) feet from edge of
traveled way.
E. Alleys and Private Access Tracts
1. An alley may be public or private.
a. Alleys may not create dead ends.
b. Alleys tracts and public ROW shall measure 20 feet in width. The minimum
pavement width for an alley shall be 16 feet.
c. Alley entry shall be provided by a driveway cut for residential use or
commercial use.
Modifications to existing alleys serving commercial or industrial properties, in
accordance with the above, will be determined on a case-by-case basis subject to
approval by the City.
2. Private residential access tracts shall conform to the following:
a. Serves a maximum of two remote parcels, where the two adjoining lots to the access
tract that abut a public way shall also gain access via the access tract.

www.cityofportorchard.us
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 2 – Street Types and Geometrics
publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
centerline of intersecting street to furthest extent of paved tract along the centerline
of the street.
b. Pavement width shall be a minimum of 16 feet.
c. Easements may be required for utilities and/or drainage.
F. Intersections
1. Intersection Geometry
a. All intersections shall be designed at right angles to the intersecting street, unless
approved by the City Engineer. The skew angle shall not vary by more than 15
degrees from a right angle, measured 20 feet beyond the intersecting right-of-way.
At four-legged intersections, opposite legs shall lie on a straight alignment.
b. Required curb radius
Streets Classified Collector or higher 30 Feet Local
Access Streets 20 Feet
c. Minimum right-of-way line radius at the back of sidewalk
Local Access 30 Feet
Commercial 35 Feet
Arterial 50 Feet
2. Spacing between adjacent intersecting streets, whether crossing or T-connecting, shall
be as follows:
When highest classification involved is: Minimum centerline offset shall be:
Arterial (Principal and Minor) 1,000 Feet
Collector Arterial 500 Feet
Local Access 150 Feet
Alley 100 Feet
3. On sloping approaches at an intersection, landings shall conform to AASHTO standards
(Intersection Landing).
G. Maximum Grade and Grade Transitions
1. Acceptable grade to assure proper emergency access, sight distance and
stormwater management is an important consideration for the design of a
roadway. Maximum grades can vary with road use. A steeper grade may be more
acceptable on an urban residential road than on a rural road serving heavy
trucks. Intersections on steep grades should be avoided whenever possible,
especially in areas with recurring snow and ice problems. Ease of access for an
emergency vehicle is also to be considered when establishing grades. For
projects, AASHTO’s "A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets"
includes tables of maximum grades related to design speed and terrain.
The maximum centerline grade on any new or reconstructed road shall not exceed 12
www.cityofportorchard.us
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 2 – Street Types and Geometrics
publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
percent.
The maximum grade across a cul-de-sac bulb shall not exceed 6 percent. With curbed
roadways, longitudinal grades should be provided to facilitate surface stormwater
management. An appropriate minimum grade is typically 0.5 percent. Particular
attention should be given to the design of stormwater inlets and their spacing to keep
the distance of water on the traveled way within tolerable limits.
2. Grade transitions shall be constructed as smooth vertical curves except in instances
where the difference in grade is one percent or less and upon approval of the City
Engineer. The minimum vertical curve length shall be determined by multiplying the
algebraic grade difference by the minimum K-value for the vertical curve type and
applicable street classification. Maximum K-values for sag vertical curves on residential
access streets are required for adequate street drainage.
H. Stopping Sight Distance (SSD)
Stopping sight distance (SSD) for streets please refer to ” AASHTO's "A Policy on Geometric
Design of Highways and Streets" for specific SSD values based on required design speed.
1. Height of eye is 3.5 feet and height of object is 0.5 feet.
2. Minimum SSD for any downgrade averaging three percent or steeper shall be increased
per AASHTO.
3. Sag vertical curves on local access streets with stopping sight distance less than that
called for in the table “Residential Access Street Design Elements” in Section 2.3.A may
be approved by the City Engineer under the following circumstances:
a. No practical design exists,
b. Acceptable street lighting is provided throughout the curve, and
c. Street lighting is maintained by a franchised utility.
4. Intersecting Stopping Sight Distance.
a. Stopping sight distances for the design speeds of proposed commercial access
streets, neighborhood collector streets and arterials must be met when intersecting
arterials.
b. The minimum stopping sight distance on proposed intersection approaches for all
other classifications of intersecting streets shall be reviewed with the City Engineer.
I. Entering Sight Distance (ESD)
Entering sight distance (ESD) applies on driveways and on streets approaching intersections.
Specific ESD values for required design speeds are listed in the table “Arterial and
Commercial/Industrial Street Design Elements” in Section 2.3.A of AASHTO.
1. Entering vehicle eye height is 3.5 feet, measured from 10feet from edge of
traveled way. Approaching vehicle height is 4.25 feet.
2. Requirements in the Standard Details apply to an intersection or driveway approach to a
www.cityofportorchard.us
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 2 – Street Types and Geometrics
publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
typical street under average conditions. In difficult topography, the City Engineer may
authorize a reduction in the ESD based on factors mitigating the hazard. Such factors
may include an anticipated posted or average running speed less than the design speed
or the provision of acceleration lanes and/or a median space allowing an intermediate
stop by an approaching vehicle making a left turn.
3. Where a significant number of trucks will be using the approach street, the City Engineer
may increase the entering sight distance requirements by up to 30 percent for single-
unit trucks and 70 percent for semi-trailer combinations.
J. Medians
1. Median width shall be 8 feet wide between travel lanes and three feet wide between a
travel and turning lane and be additional to, not part of, the specified width of traveled
way.
2. Edges shall be similar to outer street edges, formed with vertical Portland cement
concrete curb.
3. Twenty feet of drive surface (which includes traveled way, bike lanes, paved shoulders,
and mountable curbing) shall be provided on either side of the median, or as approved
by the City Engineer and Fire Marshal.
4. Medians shall be designed so as not to limit turning radii or sight distance at
intersections.
5. No portion of a side street median may extend into the right-of-way for an arterial street.
However, a bullnose shall be provided at intersections with pedestrian refuge at marked
crossings.
6. The City Engineer may require revisions to medians as necessary to maintain required
sight distance.
7. Street trees planted in median shall be from the approved list in the POMC unless
otherwise approved by the City Engineer.
K. One-Way Streets
Local access streets, including loops, may be designated one-way upon a finding by the City
Engineer and Fire Marshall that topography or other site features make two-way traffic
impractical or to improve pedestrian safety.
L. Bus Zones and Turn-Outs
During the design of arterials and neighborhood collectors, the designers shall contact
Kitsap Transit Service Planning, , and the local school district to determine bus zone (stop)
locations and other bus operation needs. The street project shall provide wheel chair
accessible landing pads at designated bus zones where required, shall include turn-outs and
shelter pads. Pedestrian and handicapped access improvements within the right-of-way to
and from the bus-loading zone or turnout from nearby businesses or residences shall also
be provided as part of the street improvement. Surfacing requirements may also be affected,
particularly on shoulders.

publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
M. Intersections with State or Federal Highways
If the City has jurisdiction on a development that requires the construction or improvement
of a residential/commercial/industrial driveway or any classification of street that intersects a
state or federal highway, minimum intersection spacing, entering sight distance and landing
requirements in accordance with these Standards shall be satisfied in addition to the
requirements of all other applicable permits. In the instance State or Federal standards
exceed these Standards, State or Federal standards shall govern.
N. Slope, Wall and Drainage Easements
Either the functional classification or particular design features of a street may necessitate
slope, sight distance, and wall or drainage easements beyond the right-of-way line. Such
easements may be required by the City Engineer in conjunction with dedication or
acquisition of right-of-way and required to be obtained by the Developer.
O. Roadway Network Connectivity
All proposed developments must have a connectivity index of 1.4 or greater. The connectivity
index shall be calculated by dividing the total number of links (streets including stub-out
streets) by the total number of nodes (intersections, cul-de-sac, no-outlets, dead-ends).
P. Ingress/Egress and Utility Easements
For access to a parcel(s) which must cross a property adjacent to City Right-of-Way, an
ingress/egress and utility easement shall be required. The easement shall be a minimum
width of 18 feet. The easement shall be recorded and a copy of the recorded document
submitted with the Final Plat Application.
Q. Design Variation Request
If the applicant/developer is unable to meet the standards as adopted in the Development
Guidelines, a Design Variation Request Application may be submitted to the City Engineer
for review. This application shall be submitted as part of the Land Disturbing Activity
Permit (LDAP) Application.

3.1 Overview
This material will provide for uniform design in the City of Port Orchard. This should be used in
conjunction with the Port Orchard Municipal Code and the current adopted Standard
Specifications for Public Works.
The attached Standard Plans have been comprehensively updated and supersede all previous
Standard Plans. In some cases, Standard Plans previously used have been modified or deleted.
In other instances, new Standard Plans have been added.
3.2 General Design Guidance – Driveways, Sidewalks, Curbs, and
Gutters
A. Sub-grade
Sub-grade compaction for driveways, sidewalks, curbs, and gutters shall meet a minimum 95
percent of maximum density.
B. Surfacing Material
Concrete for driveways, sidewalks, curbs, and gutters shall be Class 4000, furnished and
placed in accordance with Sections 5-05, 6-02, 8-04, 8-06 and 8-14 of the current WSDOT
Standard Specifications. Cold weather precautions as set forth in WSDOT Standard
Specification 5-05.3(14) and 6-02.3(6) A shall apply.
C. Curbs

4.1 Streets
A. Residential Streets, Pedestrian and Bikeways
1. The minimum paved section, with alternative combinations of materials, for residential
streets, shoulders, sidewalks and bikeways shall be as indicated in the Standard Details.
These sections are acceptable only on visually good, well-drained, stable compacted
sub-grade. Any proposed exception to these materials will be subject to soils strength
testing, traffic loading analysis and subject to review and approval by the City Engineer
as outlined below in Section 6.2.B Requirements for Residential Streets on Poor Sub-
grade. All expenses for determining revised materials shall be at the Developer’s own
expense.
2. When a walkway or bikeway is incorporated into a street shoulder, the required shoulder
section, if higher strength, shall govern. Sub-grade compaction for bikeways and paved
walkways shall meet a minimum of 95 percent maximum density.
B. Requirements for Residential Streets on Poor Sub-grade
The minimum material thicknesses as illustrated in the Standard Details are not acceptable if
there is any evidence of instability in the sub-grade. This includes free water, swamp
conditions, fine-grained or organic soil, slides or uneven settlement. If there are any of these
characteristics, the soil shall be sampled and tested sufficiently to establish a pavement
design that will support the proposed construction. Any deficiencies, including an R-value of
less than 55 or a California Bearing Ratio (CBR) of less than 20, shall be fully considered in
the design. Remedial measures may include, but are not limited to, a stronger paved
section, a strengthening of sub-grade by adding or substituting fractured aggregate, asphalt
treated base, installing a geotextile fabric, more extensive drainage or a combination of such
measures. Both the soils test report and the resulting pavement design will be subject to
review and approval by the City Engineer.
C. Arterials and Commercial Access Streets
Any pavement for arterials and commercial access streets shall be designed using currently
accepted methodology that considers the load bearing capacity of the soils and the traffic-
carrying requirements of the street. Plans shall be accompanied by a pavement thickness
design based on soil strength parameters reflecting actual field tests and traffic loading
analyses. The analysis shall include the traffic volume and axle loading, the type and
thickness of street materials and the recommended method of placement.
D. Additional Information
1. Please refer to Standard Details, Typical Street Sections 400-403.
2. For information on porous pavements, please refer to Section 4.8 Pervious Pavement in
the Development Guidelines.

4.2 Materials and Lay-Down Procedures
A. Requirements
Materials and lay-down procedures shall be in accordance with WSDOT Standard
Specifications and the following requirements:
1. Prior to placement of curbing or pavement section, a proof-role shall be performed and
observed by the Construction Inspector to confirm the sub-grade is firm and unyielding.
2. Crushed surfacing top and base courses may be substituted for a structurally equivalent
thickness of Asphalt Treated Base (ATB). The substitution ratio of crushed surfacing to
ATB shall be 1.6:1. Where base or top courses cannot be placed without possible
contamination, then these courses shall be substituted by ATB.
3. During surfacing activities, utility covers in streets shall be adjusted in accordance to
Finish Grade.
4. ATB may be used over isolated areas of unstable sub-grade, providing the final lift of
asphalt shall not be placed for a minimum of six months to allow time for the
observation and repair of failures in the sub-grade and ATB.
5. Asphalt pavers shall be self-contained, power-propelled units. Truck mounted type
pavers are not considered self-propelled. Truck mounted pavers shall only be used for
paving of irregularly shaped or minor areas as approved by the City Engineer, or as
follows:
a. Pavement widths less than eight feet; and
b. Pavement lengths less than 150 feet.
6. Hot mix asphalt (HMA) for the wearing course shall not be placed on any traveled way
between October 1 and April 1, without written approval from the City Engineer. Please
refer to WSDOT Construction Manual for further direction. Prior to placement of HMA, a
tack coat shall be thoroughly and uniformly applied to all existing paved surfaces in
accordance with Section 5-04.3(4) of the WSDOT Standard Specifications. Asphalt for
prime coat shall not be applied when the ground temperature is lower than fifty degrees
Fahrenheit, without written approval from the City Engineer.
When discharged from the mixing batch plant, the temperature of the HMA shall not
exceed the maximum temperature recommended by the asphalt binder manufacturer.
Documentation of recommended temperatures shall be submitted prior to placement.
A maximum water content of 2 percent in the mix, at discharge, will be allowed providing
the water causes no problems with handling, stripping or flushing. If the water in the
HMA causes any of these problems, the moisture content shall be reduced as directed by
the Construction Inspector. The asphalt shall have a temperature of not less than 260
degrees Fahrenheit. For surface temperature limitations, see Section 5-04.3(6) of the
WSDOT Standard Specifications. Each truckload shall be covered with a suitable
tarpaulin while in transit and while waiting to be unloaded to prevent unnecessary heat
loss.
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 6 – Pavement Surfacing
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
7. Unfavorable Weather: Asphalt shall not be applied to wet material. Asphalt shall not be
applied during rainfall or before any imminent storms that might damage the
construction. The Inspector will have the discretion as to whether the surface and
materials are dry enough to proceed with construction.
4.3 Pavement Markings, Markers, and Pavement Tapers
A. Types
Pavement markings, markers or striping shall be used to delineate channelization, lane
endings, crosswalks and longitudinal lines to control or guide traffic, as illustrated in the
Standard Details. Channelization plans or crosswalk locations shall be approved by the City
Engineer.
1. Channelization shall be required when:
a. Through traffic is diverted around a lane or obstacle.
b. Connecting full width streets with different cross sections.
c. Extending an existing street with a new cross section different from the existing one.
2. For speeds 45 miles per hour (mph) and greater the channelization shall provide tapers
equal in length to the posted speed limit times the distance in feet of diversion from the
street centerline or the original alignment of travel, or the offset distance, as applicable.
Channelization shall also be required to redirect traffic back to their original alignment.
For speeds 40 mph or less, taper length shall equal the total of the speed squared times
the width being moved divided by 60 (L = (width x speed2)/60).
3. Left turn channelization shall include a minimum of 150 feet of full width lane storage
plus a reverse curve 90 feet in length for posted speeds up to 45 mph. The reverse curve
shall be 120 feet in length for posted speeds greater than 45 mph. The reverse curve
may be included within the taper distance. A deceleration taper as shown in the WSDOT
Standard Plans may be used in place of a reverse curve. Standard left turn lanes shall be
12 feet wide. See Standard Detail, Two-Way Left Turn Lane Marking Details 423.
Additional storage may be required for long vehicles or anticipated left turn queues
longer than the minimum storage.
4. Pavement markings for channelization shall be reflectorized hot (Type “A”) applied
plastic with the exception of any markings within the bike lane, which shall consist of
paint. Extruded or sprayed markings shall be dressed with glass beads for initial
reflectance. All materials shall have beads throughout the material to maintain
reflectance while the material wears.
5. Where pavement widening less than 300 feet in length is abruptly ended and edge lines
do not direct traffic to through lanes, Type 2e lane markers shall be installed at 10-foot
centers near the end of the paved area at a 10:1 taper.
6. Crosswalks shall be installed at all intersections controlled by traffic signals and other
areas approved by the City Engineer in accordance with the Standard Details.
7. All pavement markings shall be laid out with spray paint and approved by the City
Engineer or designee before they are installed. Approval may require a three working
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 6 – Pavement Surfacing
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
day advance notice to have field layout approved by the City Engineer or to make
arrangements to meet the City Engineer on site during the installation.
8. Please refer to Standard Details for additional information.
4.4 Street Widening/Adding Traveled Way to Existing Streets
A. General Requirements
1. When an existing asphalt paved street is to be widened, the edge of pavement shall be
saw-cut to provide a clean, vertical edge for joining to the new asphalt. After placement
of the new asphalt section, the joint shall be sealed, and a pre-level course installed
followed by a minimum one and one half-inch (1-1/2") overlay, full width throughout the
widened area. All failures and cracking on road surfaces must be repaired prior to the
overlay. Please refer to WSDOT 5-04 for additional guidance and details.
2. When an existing asphalt paved street is to be widened and the requirement to grind
and overlay the existing portion is waived by the City Engineer, the widened portion shall
be designed to optimize the change in cross-slope between the existing and new asphalt
and to optimize the new curb grade.
3. When an existing shoulder is to become part of a proposed traveled way a pavement
evaluation shall be performed. This evaluation shall analyze the structural capacity and
determine any need for improvement. Designs based on these evaluations are subject
to review and approval by the City Engineer. The responsibility for any shoulder material
thickness improvement shall be considered part of the requirement for street widening.
The shoulder shall be replaced in width as specified in Chapter 4 (Street Types and
Geometrics).
4. Any widening of an existing street, either to add traveled way or paved shoulder shall
have the same surfacing material as the existing street.
5. If the required grind and overlay extends to an existing ADA ramp, the ADA ramp
shall be replaced to meet current standards.
4.5 Monumentation
A. Survey Monuments
1. Survey monuments shall be placed at all street intersections, boundary angle points,
points of curves in streets and at such intermediate points as may be required by the City
Engineer.
2. All existing survey monuments and appurtenances, which are disturbed, lost or
destroyed during surveying or construction, shall be replaced by a land surveyor
registered in the State of Washington at the expense of the responsible developer,
builder or utility, in general accordance with RCW 58.09.130 and 58.04.015.
3. Plat monumentation shall comply with these standards on developments such as
residential subdivisions, short plats, commercial site developments, binding site plans, or
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 6 – Pavement Surfacing
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
any other construction that establish new roadways or reconstruct existing roadways.
Monuments shall be set along the center of the right-of-way at the Point of Curvatures
(PC's) and Point of Tangency (PT'S) of curves. When the Point of Intersection (PI) of the
curve falls within the paved area of the road, a PI monument may be set in lieu of setting
monuments at the PC and PT. Monument shall be located at center of each cul-de-sac.
4. All lot and block corners shall be set with an iron pipe or steel reinforcing bar at least 24
inches in length prior to submittal of the Final Plat Application. All lot corners shall be
identified with the land surveyor's registration number.
5. Street monument cases, in conformance with the Standard Details, shall be installed
within 60 days after the final course of surfacing has been placed.
6. Monument pins with cases shall be installed at these locations in accordance with the
City's Standard Plan 460 (Monumentation A – Survey Control Monument).
4.6 Pervious Pavement
A. Permitted Applications
Permeable pavement is a range of sustainable materials and techniques which allows the
stormwater to move through the surface of permeable pavements, base and sub-base to
infiltrate into the ground. In addition to reducing runoff, this effectively traps suspended
solids and filters pollutants from the water. Examples include roads, paths, lots that are
subject to light vehicular traffic, such as car/parking lots, cycle-paths, service or emergency
access lanes, road and airport shoulders, and residential sidewalks and driveways.
Although some porous paving materials appear nearly indistinguishable from nonporous
materials, their environmental effects are qualitatively different. Whether pervious concrete,
porous asphalt, paving stones or concrete or plastic-based pavers, all these pervious
materials allow stormwater to percolate and infiltrate the surface areas, traditionally
impervious to the soil below. The goal is to control stormwater at the source, reduce runoff,
and improve water quality by filtering pollutants in the substrata layers.
B. Essential Components
1. Wearing Course: The wearing course is the surface layer of pervious pavement that
allows water to percolate into the underlying rock layer and/or into the native soil. The
wearing course may be pervious concrete, pervious asphalt, open-celled paving grids,
or pervious pavers.
2. Leveling Course: This layer of bedding material is used to protect drain pipes and
provides a uniform surface for paver systems. It must be included when required by the
designer or recommended by the manufacturer. It generally consists of fine gravel.
3. Underdrain (optional): The underdrain is a slotted drainpipe installed just above the
base of the facility. It conveys excess flows to the approved discharge point.
4. Reservoir course: This base layer is a layer of crushed rock that provides storage space
for stormwater as it gradually infiltrates into the soil below. See the currently adopted
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 6 – Pavement Surfacing
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
Low Impact Development Guidance Manual for additional information.
5. Native soil/Sub-grade: This is the native soil directly below the pervious pavement
facility. It receives the infiltrating stormwater and provides support for the permeable
pavement. The infiltration rate must be at least 0.3 inches per hour to use pervious
pavement systems.
6. Observation Port (optional): An observation port installed in the furthest down slope
area helps the owner see the water level and determine whether the water is soaking in
as intended. Refer to currently adopted Department of Ecology Stormwater
Management Manual for Western Washington for applicability.
7. Filter Fabric (optional): Filter fabric, also called nonwoven geotextile fabric, should be
installed if the native soil is loose and finer than coarse sand to prevent the migration of
fine soil particles from the native soil into the reservoir course, which can cause clogging.
If used, geotextile fabric must be placed between the reservoir course and the sub grade.
It must wrap underneath and along the sides of the reservoir course, and pass water at a
rate greater than the infiltration rate of the existing sub grade.
C. Options for the Wearing Course
You can select one of five main types of pervious pavement surface material, also known as
the wearing course:
1. Pervious asphalt: Pervious asphalt is an open-graded pavement with reduced fines and
stable air pockets encased within the asphalt. This design allows water to drain to the
base below. It is produced and mixed at an asphalt plant. Special care is needed to
avoid over-consolidation of the asphalt and must be installed by an experienced
pervious asphalt installer. Slopes must be less than 5% for pervious asphalt.
2. Pervious cement concrete: Pervious cement concrete is an open-graded pavement with
reduced fines and stable air pockets encased within the concrete. This design allows
water to drain to the base below. It has a rougher appearance than traditional cement
concrete. It must be produced AND mixed at a concrete plant. Special care is needed
for successful performance. Pervious cement concrete must be installed by a certified
pervious cement concrete installer. Slopes must be less than 6% for pervious concrete.
3. Pervious Paver Systems: Pervious paver systems typically consist of manufactured
interlocking pavers composed of concrete. Infiltration occurs through the gaps between
the pavers that allow stormwater to penetrate quickly into the subsurface soil. The gaps
are filled with a pervious material, usually small stone, unless the pavers themselves are
pervious. Pavers must be installed per the manufacturer’s specifications to qualify as a
pervious pavement facility. Manufacturers typically recommend these systems only in
low traffic volume areas. Slopes must be less than 10% for pervious paver systems.
4. Open-celled paving grid with vegetation: Open-celled paving grids consist of a rigid
grid made of concrete or a durable plastic that is filled with a mix of sand, gravel and
topsoil for planting vegetation. The cells can be planted with a variety of grasses or low-
growing groundcovers. The support base and the grid walls prevent soil compaction
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 6 – Pavement Surfacing
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
and reduce rutting and erosion by dispersing the weight of traffic. Vegetation in the grid
openings provides habitat for beneficial microbes, nutrient cycling, pollutant removal
through root uptake, and stormwater volume reduction though evaporation and
transpiration. These systems are only recommended for use in low traffic volume areas.
Slopes must be less than 10% for pervious paver systems.
5. Open-celled paving grid with gravel: This structure is similar to the open-celled grid with
vegetation, but the openings are filled with a gravel mix to provide greater load bearing
support for driveways or areas with longer parking durations. Clean gravel fill must meet
the manufacturer’s specifications. These systems are only recommended for use in low
traffic volume areas. Slopes must be less than 10% for pervious paver systems.

City of Port Orchard
Chapter 5 – Roadside Features
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
5.1 Overview
The City of Port Orchard places priority on the safety of our streets. We believe our streets
should be livable and a positive expression of our communities’ values. Beyond simply acting as
streets for cars, streets fill a community need as public spaces. Our streets are places where
people walk, shop, meet, and share life with social and recreational activities. In addition,
beyond even these quality of life benefits, pedestrian-friendly streets have been increasingly
linked to highly desirable social outcomes of economic growth improvements in air quality and
increased physical fitness and health. For these reasons, we encourage the design of “livable”
streets, or streets that seek to better integrate the needs of the community into the roadway’s
design. A real component of our streets is the fact that mobility is also a part of quality of life.
In our community only a small number of the streets – arterials, are intended for higher volumes
of traffic at higher speeds, while the great majority of the streets are for lower volumes and
speeds. This small percentage of arterial streets is essential for our people to rely on to get to
their jobs, schools, and shopping without unnecessary and dangerous delays. Safety problems
can occur associated with landscaping located in the right-of-way. Drivers pulling out of side
streets and driveways encounter landscaping that obstructs their view of oncoming bicyclists,
pedestrians and traffic as well as traffic control devices. Roadside features that impede travel on
these corridors can make travel more dangerous and can adversely affect the quality of life for
all people.
5.2 Side Slopes
A. General
1. Side slopes shall generally be constructed no steeper than 3:1 on both fill slopes and cut
slopes. Steeper slopes may be approved by the City Engineer upon showing that the
steeper slopes, based on soils analyses, will be stable.
2. Side slopes shall be stabilized with grass sod or seeding or by other planting or surfacing
materials acceptable to the City Engineer.
5.3 Street Signage
A. General
All traffic signs and installation shall conform to the latest edition of the Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), as amended by the Washington State Transportation
Commission per RCW 47.36.030. Street signs shall conform to Standard Detail 501 and all signs
shall be located as shown on Figure 2A-2 of the MUTCD. The developer is responsible for
purchase and initial installation of all traffic control devices including signage.
The MUTCD contains information on the intended use and placement of signs. It also contains
information on the size of standard regulatory and warning signs. All traffic control signs shall
be installed before a road is opened to vehicular use. The City Engineer shall approve all signs
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 5 – Roadside Features
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
for type, size, legend, reflective facing material, and mounting devices.
The city does not maintain private road name signs on private property.
5.4 Street Trees, Landscaping and Irrigation
B. Street Trees and Landscaping
Street trees and landscaping shall be incorporated into the design of street improvements
as directed by classifications of streets. Such landscaping in the right-of-way shall be
coordinated with off-street landscaping required on the developer's property under the
provisions of Port Orchard Municipal Code 20.128.
C. Planting Strips
Planting strips are required along all classifications of streets. The design of planting strips
must be approved by the City Engineer and must include a landscaping plan that addresses
plant maintenance, utilities and traffic safety requirements.
D. Street Tree Selection and Placement
Street tree height and spacing shall not conflict unduly with overhead utilities, or root
development with underground utilities.
New street trees shall conform to section 20.128 of Port Orchard Municipal Code.
5.5 Mailboxes
The responsibilities for location and installation of mailboxes in connection with the construction
or reconstruction of City streets are as follows:
A. City Engineer
The City Engineer will:
1. Require street improvement plans, whether for construction by the City or by a private
builder, to show clearly the designated location or relocation of mailboxes, whether
single or in clusters.
2. Require with this information any necessary widening or reconfiguration of sidewalks
with suitable knockouts or open strips for mailbox posts or pedestals.
3. Require these plans to bear a statement on the first sheet that "Mailbox Locations as
Shown on These Plans Have Been Coordinated with the Post Office in Port Orchard,
Washington." This will be a prerequisite to plan approval.
4. Require construction of mailbox locations in accordance with these plans, through usual
inspection and enforcement procedures.
5. Ensure the mail boxes are not installed within five feet of a storm drain catch basin.
6. Mailboxes shall not create an obstruction to the pedestrian through movement on
adjacent sidewalk.
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 5 – Roadside Features
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
B. Port Orchard Postmaster
Port Orchard Postmaster will:
1. Designate location and manner of grouping of mailboxes when so requested by the
design agency. Note on the plans the type of mailbox delivery: CBU (Collection Box Unit),
or Rural type box. NDCBU's, Neighborhood Delivery and Collection Box Units have been
designated as obsolete delivery equipment by the US Postal Service.

1. Where there are existing mailboxes and no plans to replace them with CBU's: When it
becomes necessary to remove or otherwise disturb existing mailboxes within the limits of
any project, install the boxes temporarily in such a position that their function will not be
impaired. After construction has been completed, reinstall boxes at original locations or
at new approved locations, as indicated on the plans or as directed by the City Engineer.
Use only existing posts or materials except that any damage caused by the builder or his
contractor is to be repaired at the expense of the builder.
2. Where there are existing NDCBU's or plans to install new CBU's: Call on the Port
Orchard Postmaster to install new CBU's and make the necessary installation.
E. Installation Methods
Installation methods are as follows:
1. Mailboxes in general, shall be set in accordance with the Standard Details. Boxes shall be
clustered together when practical and when reasonably convenient to the houses served.
2. Materials used shall be crash worthy or shall break-away upon impact.
3. CBU's will be installed by the United States Postal Service in general accordance to their
standard details.

6.1 Vaults
Subsurface vaults are specialized underground structures designed for utility functions as
places for meters and valves or as stormwater facilities.
Subsurface stormwater facilities shall conform to the pertinent City Building Code and criteria
set forth in the currently adopted stormwater manual. Note that where the top of a vault is
located within a fire lane, additional loading requirements to accommodate fire trucks will
apply.
Plans for structures, such as vaults, require a separate review, approval, and building permit
by the City of Port Orchard DCD prior to construction.
6.2 Walls
9 Terms
1. Rockery: “Rockery” means one or more courses of large rocks stacked near vertical in
front of an exposed soil face to protect the soil face from erosion and sloughing.
2. Retained Wall: Retaining Wall is as defined in the International Building Code.
3. Segmental Gravity Wall: Segmental Gravity Walls are typically constructed of
manufactured (Allen Block, Keystone, etc.) modular concrete or masonry units,
stacked in a running bond pattern without mortar or reinforcement.
A. General
Design and construction of retaining walls and Segmental Gravity Walls shall conform
to the currently adopted International Building Code. Rockeries shall be constructed in
accordance with the "Rock Wall Construction Guidelines," prepared by the Associated
Rockery Contractors. Segmental Gravity Walls shall be constructed of concrete
masonry units (CMU's), manufactured in general accordance with the Northwest
Concrete Masonry Association (NWCMA).
B.
1. If the rockery is 24-inches high or less, or stepped with no segment exceeding a
height of 24-inches, and there is at least 24-inches of separation between segments,
it may be located nearly anywhere on your property, subject to limitations
established by the Land Use Code. If a rockery or any segment of a stepped rockery
is over 24-inches, engineering is required. If the rockery Code, it must comply with
the city’s building code regulations permitting requirements, and the structural
setback requirements for the property.
2. Rockeries shall be 12-feet or less in total height.
3. Rockeries shall not be used to retain fill.
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 6 – Structures: Vaults and Walls
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
4. Rockeries may not be used for any protection of cut or fill embankments within the
public right of way or within the construction limits of said right of way. Engineered
retaining walls may be used within the public right-of-way upon approval of the City
Engineer and the proper permitting from both Building and Public Works has been
secured.
5. Rockeries shall be constructed of sound, angular ledge rock that is resistant to
weathering. The longest dimension of any individual rock should not exceed three
times its shortest dimension.
C. Segmental Gravity Walls
1. Segmental Gravity Walls shall be constructed of concrete masonry units (CMU's),
manufactured in general accordance with the Northwest Concrete Masonry
Association (NWCMA).
2. If the segmental gravity wall is 24-inches high or less, or stepped with no segment
exceeding a height of 24-inches, and there is at least 24-inches of separation
between segments, it may be located nearly anywhere on your property, subject to
limitations established by the Land Use Code. If a segmental gravity wall is over
24-inches, engineering is required. If the segmental gravity wall meets the
definition of a retaining wall in the International Building Code, it must
comply with the city’s building code regulations permitting requirements,
and the structural setback requirements for the property.
D. Requirements for Retaining Walls, Rockeries, and Segmental Gravity Walls
Located within a Public Right of Way
1. Keyway. A keyway shall be constructed for all retaining walls,rockeries, and segmental
gravity walls and shall be comprised of a shallow trench (12-inches minimum depth),
extending the full length of the wall and as wide as the wall units and the drain rock
layer. The competency of the keyway subgrade to support the rock wall shall be
verified by the site Geotechnical Engineer or City Inspector. Areas of "soft" subgrade
shall be over-excavated and replaced with compacted structural fill.
2. Underdrain. An underdrain shall be installed at the rear of the keyway, consisting of
a four-inch minimum diameter perforated or slotted, smooth-walled rigid plastic
drain pipe. It shall be bedded on and surrounded by free-draining, 2-inches to 4-
inches crushed rock with 5% fines. The underdrain pipe should be installed with
sufficient gradient to initiate flow to either one side, both sides or to a low point.
Outfall shall be connected by an un-perforated tightline to a positive and
permanent discharge.
3. First Course. The first course of rock or wall unit should be placed on firm, unyielding
soil or onto a layer of compacted crushed rock. There should be full contact between
the rock or wall unit and the soil or crushed rock surface. Due to the angular nature of
rock, proper placement may require shaping of the ground surface or slamming or

dropping the rocks into place. During construction of rock facings or rockeries, the
rocks should be placed so that there are no continuous joint planes in either the
vertical or lateral direction. Wherever possible, each rock should bear on at least two
rocks below.
4. Drainage. To provide some degree of drainage control behind the rock facing,
retaining wall or rockery, and as a means of helping to prevent the potential loss of
soil through the face of the wall, a drain rock filter shall be installed between the rear
face of the wall and the soil face being protected. This drain rock filter should be a
minimum of 12- inches thick and should be composed of two to four-inch sized
quarry spalls, or equivalent material.
5. Sidewalk. When a sidewalk is to be built over a rock facing, retaining wall or rockery,
the top of the facing shall be sealed and leveled with a cap constructed of Class 4000
cement concrete in accordance with Chapter 3 of these Standards, but with reduced
water content resulting in slump of not over two inches.
6. Pedestrian Protection. For pedestrian protection, a black vinyl coated chain link fence
or metal handrail shall be installed when the rock facing, retaining wall or rockery has
an exposed wall height of three feet or greater. Rock facings, retaining walls or
rockeries constructed adjacent to property lines shall include a minimum 48-
inch tall fence along the top of any portion of the wall with an exposed height
of three feet or greater. Where applicable, fences should be placed on the

7.9 Appendix A
Backwater Analysis Method
This method is used to analyze the capacity of both new and existing pipe systems to
convey the required design flow (i.e. 50-year peak flow). Pipe system structures must be
demonstrated to contain the headwater surface (hydraulic grade line) for the specified
peak flow rate. Structures may overtop for the 100-year peak flow as allowed by Section
9.2.C.1. When this occurs, the additional flow over the ground surface is analyzed using the
methods for open channels as described in this section.
This method is used to compute a simple backwater profile (hydraulic grade line) through
a proposed or existing pipe system for the purposes of verifying adequate capacity. It
incorporates a re-arranged form of Manning's equation expressed in terms of friction slope
(slope of the energy grade line in ft/ft). The friction slope is used to determine the head
loss in each pipe segment due to barrel friction, which can then be combined with other
head losses to obtain water surface elevations at all structures along the pipe system.
The backwater analysis begins at the downstream end of the pipe system and is computed
back through each pipe segment and structure upstream. The friction, entrance, and exit
head losses computed for each pipe segment are added to that segment's tailwater
elevation (the water surface elevation at the pipe's outlet) to obtain its outlet control
headwater elevation. This elevation is then compared with the inlet control headwater
elevation, computed assuming the pipe's inlet alone is controlling capacity using the
methods for inlet control presented in the WSDOT Hydraulics Manual Section 3-3.4.2. The
condition that creates the highest headwater elevation determines the pipe's capacity. The
approach velocity head is then subtracted from the controlling headwater elevation, and
the junction and bend head losses are added to compute the total headwater elevation,
which is then used as the tailwater elevation for the upstream pipe segment. The following
Backwater Calculation Sheet may be used to compile the head losses and headwater
elevations for each pipe segment. The numbered columns on this sheet are described on
the following page.

Column (1) - Design flow to be conveyed by pipe segment.
Column (2) - Length of pipe segment.
Column (3) - Pipe Size; indicate pipe diameter or span x rise.
Column (4) - Manning's "n" value.
Column (5) - Outlet Elevation of pipe segment.
Column (6) - Inlet Elevation of pipe segment.
Column (7) - Barrel Area; this is the full cross-sectional area of the pipe.
Column (8) - Barrel Velocity; this is the full velocity in the pipe as determined by:
V = Q/A or Col.(8) = Col.(1) / Col.(7)
Column (9) - Barrel Velocity Head = V2/2g or (Col.(8))2/2g, where g = 32.2 ft/sec2 (acceleration due to gravity)
Column (10) - Tailwater (TW) Elevation; this is the water surface elevation at the outlet of the pipe segment. If
the pipe's outlet is not submerged by the TW and the TW depth is less than (D+dc)/2, set TW
equal to (D+dc)/2 to keep the analysis simple and still obtain reasonable results (D = pipe
barrel height and dc = critical depth, both in feet. See Section 4-4 of the Hydraulics Manual for
determination of dc).
Column (11) - Friction Loss = Sf x L [or Sf x Col.(2)], where Sf is the friction slope or head loss per linear foot of
pipe as determined by Manning's equation expressed in the form: Sf = (nV)2/2.22R1.33
Column (12) - Hydraulic Grade Line (HGL) Elevation just inside the entrance of the pipe barrel; this is
determined by adding the friction loss to the TW elevation: Col.(12) = Col.(11) + Col.(10)
If this elevation falls below the pipe's inlet crown, it no longer represents the true HGL when
computed in this manner. The true HGL will fall somewhere between the pipe's crown and
either normal flow depth or critical flow depth, whichever is greater. To keep the analysis simple
and still obtain reasonable results (i.e., erring on the conservative side), set the HGL elevation
equal to the crown elevation.
Column (13) - Entrance Head Loss = Ke x V2/2g [or Ke x Col.(9)]
where Ke = Entrance Loss Coefficient (from Section 6-6.3 of the Hydraulics Manual). This is the
head lost due to flow contractions at the pipe entrance.
Column (14) - Exit Head Loss = 1.0 x V2/2g or 1.0 x Col.(9).
This is the velocity head lost or transferred downstream.
Column (15) - Outlet Control Elevation = Col.(12) + Col.(13) + Col.(14)
This is the maximum headwater elevation assuming the pipe's barrel and inlet/outlet
characteristics are controlling capacity. It does not include structure losses or approach velocity
considerations.
Column (16) - Inlet Control Elevation (see Section 3-3.4.2 of the Hydraulics Manual for computation of inlet
control on culverts); this is the maximum headwater elevation assuming the pipe's inlet is
controlling capacity. It does not include structure losses or approach velocity considerations.
Column (17) - Approach Velocity Head; this is the amount of head/energy being supplied by the discharge
from an upstream pipe or channel section, which serves to reduce the headwater elevation. If
the discharge is from a pipe, the approach velocity head is equal to the barrel velocity head
computed for the upstream pipe. If the upstream pipe outlet is significantly higher in elevation
(as in a drop manhole) or lower in elevation such that its discharge energy would be dissipated,
an approach velocity head of zero should be assumed.
Column (18) - Bend Head Loss = Kb x V2/2g [or Kb x Col.(17)]
where Kb = Bend Loss Coefficient (from Section 6-6.3 of the Hydraulics Manual). This is the loss
of head/energy required to change direction of flow in an access structure.
Column (19) - Junction Head Loss. This is the loss in head/energy that results from the turbulence created
when two or more streams are merged into one within the access structure. Section 6-6.4 of the
Hydraulics Manual may be used to determine this loss.
Column (20) - Headwater (HW) Elevation; this is determined by combining the energy heads in Columns 17,
18, and 19 with the highest control elevation in either Column 15 or 16, as follows:
Col.(20) = Col.(15 or 16) - Col.(17) + Col.(18) + Col.(19)
Column (21) - Rim elevation of upstream manhole or catch basin.
Column (22) - Check to see if the upstream structure is being surcharged [Col.(20)>Col.(21)]

City of Port Orchard
Chapter 8 – Design Standards for Water Extensions
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated: 02/2019
8.1 Design Standards
A. General
All extensions to the water system must conform to the design standards of the City and shall
meet the requirements of the latest Kitsap County Fire Protection Ordinances and International
Fire Codes. In addition, plans and specifications for system extensions must be approved in
accordance with the requirements of the State Department of Health.
The water system must provide adequate domestic and fire flow supply for the fire
protection requirements. If fire flow is required, the plan must be approved by the South
Kitsap Fire & Rescue Fire Marshall.
In all cases where public road right of way will be used for mains or other improvements, or
where water facilities are proposed to be installed in easements, the City Engineer must
approve the plan. All easements for water facilities must be on an approved form and the
City must be listed as the “Grantee.” The legal description and attached map showing the
location and size of the easement must be approved by the City Engineer prior to
recording.
In all cases where a County road right of way will be used for mains or other
improvements, the County Road Department must also approve the plan in addition to
the City.
The system must be capable of future expansion and must be constructed of
permanent materials.
Project Datum: The site survey shall use North American Vertical Datum 88 (NAVD 88). Design
submittals including water plan and profile and well pump station elevations shall be based
on NAVD 88.
B. Plans
1. General
The developer shall submit plans and specifications in accordance with individual permit
requirements. City standards are adequate to serve as the technical specifications for the
project, however the Applicant may propose deviations from the Standards. The City may
also require additional specifications if project conditions warrant. Plans and specifications
for all projects must be prepared and stamped by a professional engineer registered in the
state of Washington, with the exception of extensions for single family residences. After
the review, the developer shall submit copies of the final version of the plans in
accordance with permit requirements.
2. Criteria for Plans
The plans shall be prepared in accordance with criteria listed in Chapter 1 – Land
Development with the addition of the following:
a. Profiles: Water line profiles shall be provided when the water lines are to be installed
over un-graded terrain. In general, the City will not require profiles of water lines to
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 8 – Design Standards for Water Extensions
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated: 02/2019
be installed in streets or other graded terrain where specified depth of cover will be
adequate to determine the location of the line in the ground. Elevations shall be
shown on the plans which are adequate to determine the pressure differential in the
lines due to change in elevation and for placement of pressure reducing valves if
required. Clearances between sewer lines and water mains shall be shown at all
sewer line crossings.
3. Plan Revisions
4. The City shall be informed of all plan revisions which affect the design of the water
system prior to implementation. The City reserves the right to withdraw approval if
in the opinion of the City the changes will cause the design of the extension to be
below the City’s standards.Facility Placement
All water mains and other facilities, unless a private system, shall be installed in public
rights-of-way or in recorded utility easements dedicated to the City. The developer or
his engineer shall check with the City prior to beginning of design of the extension to
determine if there is a preferred main location.
5. Public Rights of Way
All locations of City facilities within the City right-of-way must be approved by the City
Engineer. Utilities located in the road right-of-way must comply with franchise
requirements outlined in ordinances passed by the City Council authorizing such use of
the road and right-of-way. Where no ordinance applies, water mains shall be installed to
be compatible with the existing water system, the terrain, geology, and the location of
other utilities.
Where the water line is installed in a public right of way, it shall not be located under
curbs or sidewalks. Deviations from approved locations must receive prior written
approval by the City Engineer, be documented, and be accompanied by accurate
record drawings.
6. Easements
Utility easements will be a minimum of 15 feet in width and piping will be installed
no closer than five feet from the easement’s edge. Water line constructed deeper
than 7.5-feet below finished ground surface shall require an easement width greater
than 15 feet to encompass a 1:1 slope from the bottom of the pipe.
7. Private Roads
If it is necessary to install a water main within a private road, the easement shall be the
width of the traveled surface plus one foot on either side.
8. Water and Sewer Line Separation Distances
Transmission and distribution water piping shall be separated at least ten feet
horizontally from waste disposal piping, drain fields, and/or sanitary sewer gravity or
force mains. The bottom of the water main shall be 18 inches above the top of the
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 8 – Design Standards for Water Extensions
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated: 02/2019
sewer component. All parallel and crossing installations of water and sewer lines shall be
in accordance with provisions of WAC 248-96 (septic systems) and the “Recommended
Standards for Water Works” - Ten State Standards. Where local conditions prevent such
horizontal and/or vertical separation, closer spacing is permissible where design and
construction meet the special requirements of the Department of Ecology criteria for
Sewage Works Design.
When a water line crosses a sanitary sewer or force main, it shall be specified that the
water main be installed a minimum of two feet above the sewer line with joints a minimum
of five feet from the sewer line on each side. Controlled density fill shall be placed over
the sewer line.
9. Main Layout and Sizing
The City shall be consulted as to the size of the water main.
In general, the minimum size water main which will be allowed to serve developments
is 8 inch inside diameter, unless otherwise approved by the City. Looped six-inch
diameter mains will be allowed within a development if no fire hydrants are connected
to the main. Where dead end mains are allowed in cul-de-sacs, they may be 4-inch
diameter from the last fire hydrant to the remaining residences, if approved by the City
Engineer.
In general, dead end water mains are not permitted. Wherever possible, all water line
extensions shall form a looped system. Mains must be extended to the far side of a
property to be served. For commercial and residential developments on corner lots, the
mains must be extended to the far side of both sides of property fronting roads.
Commercial developments which are required to upgrade city roads will be required
to upgrade the water main in the road to the size indicated in the City’s Water
System Plan.
It is the intent of these requirements to ensure that the water pipe sizing will supply the
required domestic and fire protection flows while maintaining adequate system pressure
under existing and future demand conditions. The City may, at its discretion, require the
developer to pay for the City or its Consultant to conduct an analysis and run the
hydraulic model developed specifically for the City’s water system. The purpose of this
analysis is to confirm the actual flow rate that is available and the size of needed system
improvements to provide water service.
10. Fire Hydrants
Water line extensions shall include fire hydrants if required by City Standards and
Specifications, or if not, be designed to permit placement of fire hydrants in accordance
with South Kitsap Fire and Rescue (SKF&R) standards, unless a modification is authorized
by the Fire Marshall. Fire hydrants shall be placed at street intersections wherever
possible, and located to minimize damage due to traffic. Fire hydrants installed in
residential areas shall have a maximum spacing of 600 feet measured along the street
frontage. Hydrants located at intersections shall be installed at the curb return. All others
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 8 – Design Standards for Water Extensions
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated: 02/2019
shall be located on property lines between lots. Fire hydrants in commercial, industrial
and multifamily areas shall have a maximum spacing of 300 feet and shall be placed not
more than 150 feet or less than 50 feet from a building. Variation from hydrant spacing
standards will be allowed when it can be demonstrated that alternate spacing will better
serve the site layout. The SKF&R may require additional hydrants.
11. Water Pressure Requirements
Water systems shall be designed to maintain a minimum residual pressure of 30 psi at
meter outlets under maximum demand flow conditions, excluding fire demand. Unless
specifically approved otherwise by the City, water systems shall be hydraulically designed
to provide a maximum pressure no greater than 100 psi, with a desired range of 40-90
psi. In
cases where a booster pump station will be required, a bladder tank will be installed. For
water systems requiring fire flow capability, the design shall be adequate to maintain,
under fire flow conditions, positive pressure throughout the system and a 20-psi residual
pressure in mains supplying fire hydrants in use as per WAC 246-290 requirements. The
City may require the engineer to submit a hydraulic analysis showing the required flows
and pressures can be met. The City may, at its discretion, require that the City’s hydraulic
model be used and run by the City or City’s Consultant. Developer shall pay for costs to
accomplish this analysis.
12. Pipe Cover
The depth of trenching, installation of pipes, and backfill shall be such as to give a
minimum cover of 36 inches over the top of the pipe. This standard applies to
transmission, distribution, and service piping. Backfill and compaction will be in
accordance with applicable construction standards identified below. Materials capable of
damaging the pipe or its coating shall be removed from the backfill material.
13. Isolation Valves
Valves shall be installed at all crosses and tees. The number of valves at each intersection
shall at a minimum equal the number of connecting pipes less one. Lengths of pipe
between valves should not exceed 500 feet in school, commercial, or multi-family areas,
and 800 feet in other residential service areas. Valves shall be located on tees and crosses
at street intersections, or at other locations as determined by the City. If it is necessary
to install valves between street intersections, they shall be located on property lines
between lots and on fire hydrant tees wherever possible.
14. Air and Air-vacuum Relief Valves
In order to minimize problems associated with air entrainment, air or combined air-
vacuum relief valves shall be installed at points of high elevation throughout each
system. To prevent freezing, the vault lid and vault cavity will be insulated as directed by
the City.
These valves shall be installed as per standard specifications and detail drawings.
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 8 – Design Standards for Water Extensions

15. Blow-off Valves
A blow-off valve assembly shall be installed on all permanent dead-end runs and at
designated points of low elevation within the distribution system. The blow-off valves
shall be installed on public rights-of-way except where a written access and construction
easement is provided to the City. In no case shall the location be such that there is a
possibility of back-siphoning into the distribution system.
16. Fire Protection Systems on Private Property
A double detector check valve installation shall be required on all fire protection systems
to private property. The detector check shall be approved for the type of use by
Washington
State Department of Health. An OS&Y valve shall be installed on the inlet side along with
a 1-inch by-pass. The by-pass shall include a water meter and double check valve
assembly.
The property owner is responsible for the fire line from the City main to the fire
suppression system.
17. Record Plans for the City
Any deviations from originally approved plans and specifications shall be in accordance
with Section 8.1.B.2 Plan Revisions. Upon completion of the project, the following will
be provided to the City:
a. Electronic Auto CADD files (2013 compatible version),
b. a digital format such as “pdf” of the record plans on CD (2 copies).
Record drawings must show all new water facilities and related appurtenances which, at a
minimum, shall include the locations of all mains, fire mains, valves, hydrants, back flow
assemblies, and fittings, giving sizes and types of each. Record drawings for new sewer
improvements shall include all mains, manholes, clean-outs and similar appurtenances. The
drawings shall show the exact location of water/sewer mains including distances of mains
from property lines. The applicant shall make every reasonable effort to assist the City in
acquiring all necessary information for record drawings.

system and at wet taps. The City will fine the Contractor for system tampering if
unauthorized personnel operate water system valves per Port Orchard Municipal
Code
13.04.170 Violation.
20. Water Main Inspection and Testing
Furnish all required personnel and equipment and make all tests required to
demonstrate the integrity of finished installation to approval of the City and all agencies
having jurisdiction.
a. Water Main Cleaning: Prior to testing, the inside of each completed pipeline shall
be thoroughly cleaned of all dirt, loose scale, sand and other foreign material.
Cleaning shall be accomplished by flushing with a minimum velocity of 2.5 feet per
second.
The Contractor shall install temporary strainers, temporarily disconnect equipment
and take other appropriate measures to protect equipment while cleaning. Cleaning
shall be completed after any repairs.
Flushing shall allow four complete exchanges of water at flushing velocity.
b. Water Main Disinfection and Flushing: After preliminary purging of the system,
chlorinate entire potable water system in accordance with AWWA C-651-92 and any
subsequent modifications thereof for flushing and disinfecting water mains, current
adopted WSDOT Standard Specifications Section 7-09.3(24), and in accordance with
all other pertinent rules and regulations. Upon completion of sterilizing, thoroughly
flush entire potable water system at a minimum velocity of 2.5 feet per second,
allowing four complete exchanges of contents. Discharge of disinfection water into a
storm drain, drainage ditch or natural channel is prohibited without thoroughly
neutralizing the
chlorine residual (0.1 parts per million or less) remaining in the water and
volumetrically and velocity controlled to prevent re-suspension of sediments in the
stormwater system.
After final flushing and before the water pipe is connected to or hydrostatically
tested, the Contractor shall request that the City arrange to have a sample or
samples collected for bacteriological testing. At least one sample will be collected
from each branch of the pipe. A City Inspector must be present when samples for
bacteriological testing are taken. The City will supply bottles and submit them for
testing to a Washington State certified laboratory. Copies of test results shall be
retained by the City. A copy of the test results will be delivered to the Contractor for
review. The water pipe will not be charged for hydrostatic testing prior to satisfactory
bacteriological testing results.
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 8 – Design Standards for Water Extensions
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated: 02/2019
If test results are not satisfactory, lines shall again be disinfected, flushed, and tested
until two consecutive, satisfactory series of samples are obtained. If the new water
pipes are exposed to contaminants or pressure drop after acceptance of a successful
bacteriological test the Contractor shall be required to repeat the disinfection
process at the City’s discretion and the Contractor’s expense.
c. Hydrostatic Pressure Testing: All water mains and appurtenances shall be tested
under a hydrostatic pressure equal to 250 psi for 1-hour. Water service lines will be
visually inspected for leakage. All pumps, gauges, plugs, saddles, corporation stops,
backflow prevention devices, miscellaneous hose and piping, and other equipment
shown on the construction plans and that are necessary for performing the test shall
be furnished and operated by the Contractor. The pipeline trench shall be backfilled
sufficiently to prevent movement of the pipe under pressure. All thrust blocks shall
be in place and sufficiently cured to reach design strength before testing. Where
permanent blocking is not required, the Contractor shall furnish and install
temporary blocking and remove it after testing.
The mains shall be filled with water and allowed to stand under pressure for a
minimum of 24 hours to allow the escape of air and/or allow the lining of the pipe
to absorb water. The City will furnish the water necessary to fill the pipelines for
testing purposes at a time of day when excess quantities of water are available for
normal system operation.
Gauges used in the test may be required to be certified for accuracy at a laboratory
chosen by the City.
Any visible leakage detected shall be corrected to the satisfaction of the City
regardless of the allowable leakage specified. Should the test section fail to meet the
pressure test successfully as specified in the Agreement, the Contractor shall, at his
own expense, locate and repair the defects and then retest the pipeline. After the
test has been completed, each valve shall be tested by closing each in turn and
relieving the pressure beyond. This test of the valves will be acceptable if there is no
immediate loss of pressure on the gauge when the pressure comes against the valve
being checked. The Contractor shall verify that the pressure differential across the
valve does not exceed the rated working pressure of the valve. All tests shall be
made with the hydrant auxiliary valve open and pressure against the hydrant valve.
Prior to calling out the City to witness the pressure test, the Contractor shall have
all equipment completely set up and ready for operation and shall have
successfully performed the test to assure that the pipe is in satisfactory
condition.
Before applying the specified test pressure, air shall be expelled completely from the
pipe, valves, and hydrants.
The test shall be accomplished by pumping the main up to the required pressure,
stopping the pump for fifteen minutes and then pumping the main up to the
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 8 – Design Standards for Water Extensions
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated: 02/2019
test pressure again. During the test, the section being tested shall be observed to
detect any visible leakage. A clean container shall be used for holding water for
pumping pressure on the main being tested. This makeup water shall be sterilized
by the addition of chlorine to a concentration of 50 mg/l.
Acceptability of the test will be determined in accordance with the current adopted
WSDOT Standard Specification Section 7-09.3(23). There shall not be an appreciable or
abrupt drop in pressure during the 1-hour test period.
21. Construction Acceptance
Construction Acceptance by the City will not occur until all new mains have been
satisfactorily inspected and tested, and all punch list items have been satisfactorily
corrected.
22. Generator
Water well, water pump stations, and other appurtenances which require power at all
times shall have a generator installed. The generator should have the quiet package
enclosure with either Cummins power or be Kohler with John Deere power. The City shall
approve the generator prior to installation.

12. Grouting
After jacking is completed, fill voids by pumping grout through grout holes in the casing
at any locations of ground loss and elsewhere where voids are suspected. Plug grout
holes after grouting. Take care to avoid over-pumping grout and disturbing the
improvements the casing was jacked under.
13. Carrier Pipe
a. All pipe installed in casing shall have restrained joints.
b. Protect pipe as necessary during installation to insure against damage. Install the
carrier pipe with the skids located not more than two feet from each end of the
pipe joints. The skids shall be adequate in number to hold the pipe to grade, and
not less than two skids shall be installed on each section of pipe. Provide skids
within 6 inches of each end of the casing.
c. After installation and testing of the carrier piping, carefully fill the remaining space in
the casing with pneumatically placed sand unless directed by the City Engineer to
leave the casing unfilled. Take care to avoid floating the carrier pipe.
d. Install casing end seals and secure in place with stainless steel bands. Make
seals watertight.

City of Port Orchard
Chapter 9 – Design Standards for Sanitary Sewer Extensions
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
9.1 Design Standards
A. General
All extensions to the sewer system must conform to the design standards of the City. In
addition, plans and specifications for system extensions must be approved in accordance
with the requirements of the State Department of Ecology.
In all cases where public road right of way will be used for mains or other improvements, or
where sewer facilities are proposed to be installed in easements, the City Engineer must
approve the plan. All easements for sewer facilities must be on an approved form and the City
must be listed as the “Grantee.” The legal description and attached map showing the location
and size of the easement must be approved by the City Engineer prior to recording.
In all cases where a County road right of way will be used for mains or other improvements, the
County Road Department must also approve the plan in addition to the City.
The system must be capable of future expansion and must be constructed of permanent
materials.
Project Datum: The site survey shall use North American Vertical Datum 88 (NAVD 88). Design
submittals including sewer plan and profile and pump station elevations shall be based on
NAVD 88.
B. Plans
1. General
The developer shall submit plans and specifications in accordance with individual permit
requirements. City standards are adequate to serve as the technical specifications for the
project, however the Applicant may propose deviations from the Standards. The City may
also require additional specifications if project conditions warrant. Plans and specifications
for all projects must be prepared and stamped by a professional engineer registered in
the state of Washington, with the exception of side sewer extensions for single-family
residences. After the review, the developer shall submit copies of the final version of the
plans in accordance with permit requirements.
2. Criteria for Plans
The plans shall be prepared in accordance with criteria listed in Chapter 2 – Land
Development with the addition of the following:
a. Profiles: Sewer line profiles shall be shown and indicate both length and slope of
pipe. Sanitary sewer line profiles shall be provided for all sanitary sewer lines.
Clearances between storm lines and sanitary sewer mains shall be shown at all
crossings.
3. Plan Revisions
The City shall be informed of all plan revisions, which affect the design of the sanitary sewer
and/or sewer system prior to installation in the field. The City reserves the right to withdraw
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 9 – Design Standards for Sanitary Sewer Extensions
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
approval if in the opinion of the City the changes will cause the design of the extension to
be below the City’s standards.
4. Facility Placement
All sewer mains and other facilities, unless a private system, shall be installed in public
rights-of-way or in recorded utility easements dedicated to the City. The developer or his
engineer shall check with the City prior to beginning the design of the extension to
determine if there is a preferred main location.
5. Public Rights of Way
All locations of City facilities within the City right-of-way must be approved by the City
Engineer. Utilities located in the road right-of-way must comply with franchise
requirements outlined in ordinances passed by the City Council authorizing such use of
the road and right-of-way. Where no ordinance applies, sewer mains shall be installed
to be compatible with the existing sanitary sewer system, the terrain, geology, and the
location of other utilities.
Where the sewer line is installed in a public right of way, it shall not be located under curbs
or sidewalks. Deviations from standard locations must be documented, receive prior
written approval by the City Engineer, and be accompanied by accurate record drawings.
6. Easements
Utility easements will be a minimum of 15 feet in width and piping will be installed no
closer than five feet from the easement’s edge. Sewer line constructed deeper than 7.5-
feet below finished ground surface shall require an easement width greater than 15 feet
to encompass a 1:1 slope from the bottom of the pipe.
7. Private Roads
If it is necessary to install a sewer main within a private road, the easement shall be the
width of the traveled surface plus one foot on either side.
8. Water and Sewer Line Separation Distances
Transmission and distribution water piping shall be separated at least ten feet
horizontally from waste disposal piping, drain fields, and/or sanitary sewer gravity or
force mains. The bottom of the water main shall be 18 inches above the top of the
sewer component. All parallel and crossing installations of sanitary sewer and water lines
shall be in accordance with provisions of WAC 248-96 (septic systems) and the
“Recommended Standards for Sanitary Sewer Works” - Ten State Standards. Where local
conditions prevent such horizontal and/or vertical separation, closer spacing is
permissible where design and construction meet the special requirements of the
Department of Ecology criteria for Sewage Works Design.
When a water line crosses a sanitary sewer or force main, it shall be specified that the
water main be installed a minimum of two feet above the sewer line with joints a
minimum of five feet from the sewer line on each side. Controlled density fill shall be
placed over the sewer line.

watered to an elevation below the base of the excavation. The system shall also be
sufficient to stabilize the soils in the excavation and the surrounding areas, and to
prevent flotation of partially completed structures.
The Contractor shall control groundwater and surface water to prevent the softening of
the bottom of excavations, or formation of quick conditions or boils during excavation.
Ground water shall be lowered to 3 feet below the base of the excavation at all times.
Determination of unsuitable soil conditions for supporting the improvements shall be
reviewed by the Contractor’s site engineer and approved or denied by the City Engineer.
When the dewatering system does not meet the specified requirements, and as a
consequence there is a loosening or disturbance of the foundation soils, instability for
the slopes, or damage to the foundation or structures occur, the Developer shall at its
own expense repair said disturbance. This shall include supplying all materials, labor, and
equipment, and performing all work required for the restoration of foundation soil,
slopes, or structure to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
It is solely the Developer’s and the Contractor’s responsibility to meet all regulatory

3. Bedding
a. Place and compact bedding in accordance with the specifications. Grade the pipe
bedding by hand to the line and grade to which the pipe is to be laid, with proper
allowance of the pipe thickness. Remove hard spots that would prevent a uniform
thickness of bedding. Before laying each section of the pipe, check the grade with a
straight edge and correct any irregularities found. The trench bottom shall form a
continuous and uniform bearing and support for the pipe at every point between bell
holes. Excavate bell holes at each joint to assure uniform support and permit proper
assembly of the joint.
b. Sand and other material that cannot be easily compacted shall not be used for
bedding.
4. Line and Grade
a. Allowable deviation from design line and grade shall be ½ inch for line and ¼ inch

b. Inspect all pipe and fittings prior to lowering into the trench to ensure no cracked,
broken, or otherwise defective materials are being used. PVC pipe with deep
scratches shall not be installed. Clean the ends of the pipe to be joined, the inside of
the joint, and the gasket immediately before joining the pipe. Assemble the joint in
accordance with the instructions and recommendations of the manufacturer of the
type of joint used.
c. After the joint has been made, check pipe for alignment and grade. The trench
bottom shall form a uniform and continuous bearing and support for the pipe at
every point between joints. Place enough pipe bedding material to secure the pipe
from movement before the next joint is installed.

prevent pipe joints from pulling apart when moving the shield ahead.
e. Take the necessary precautions to prevent excavated or other foreign material from
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 9 – Design Standards for Sanitary Sewer Extensions
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
getting into the pipe during the laying operation. When laying operations are not in
progress, at the close of the day’s work, or whenever workers are absent from the
job, close and block the open end of the last laid section of pipe to prevent entry of
foreign material, or creep of the gasket joints.
f. Take precautions necessary to prevent the “uplift” or floating of the line prior to
completion of the backfilling operation.
6. Cutting and Dressing Pipe
a. When cutting or machining of the pipe is necessary, use only tools and methods
recommended by the pipe manufacturer.
b. Ductile iron pipe shall be cut with milling type cutter, rolling cutter, or abrasive saw
cutter. Do not flame cut.
c. Cut all pipe without damaging the pipe or lining, and so as to leave a smooth end at

accordance with Section 7-17.3(2) A of the WSDOT Standard Specifications. The pipe
shall be cleaned and flushed by passing an inflatable rubber ball through the completed
section or using a flush truck. Any obstruction such as cemented grout or debris found
in the completed section shall be removed. Do not allow flushed water and debris into
the existing collection system.
c. Low-Pressure Air Test
All gravity sewers, including all connected side sewers, shall be tested in accordance
with the provisions of Section 7 17.3(2)F of the WSDOT Standard Specifications to verify
watertight connections. No other test procedures will be allowed except by written
approval of the City Engineer.
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 9 – Design Standards for Sanitary Sewer Extensions
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
d. Hydrostatic Testing
All gravity sewers, including all side sewers, shall be hydrostatically tested when low-
pressure air testing cannot be used and only with written approval of the City Engineer.
The Contractor shall furnish all equipment for testing. Seal off the downstream end of
the line and fill with water to a minimum head of 4 feet in a stand pipe at the high end.
A period of at least one hour will be allowed for absorption time before making the test.
A suitable meter or method of measuring the quantity of water used is necessary. The
allowable water loss for sanitary sewers shall not exceed 0.158 gallons per hour per 100
feet of pipe per inch of diameter of pipe under a minimum test head of 4 feet above the
top of the pipe at the upper end.
12. Pressure Testing HDPE Pipe Outside the Trench
If specified by the Engineer, pressure testing may be conducted prior to pipe installation.
After the pipe has been joined, fill it with water, carefully bleed off any trapped air. Subject
the pipe to a hydrostatic test pressure that is 1.5 times the system design pressure for a
maximum of 3 hours. During this time, add water periodically to maintain the test pressure;
this compensates for the initial stretching of the pipe. The line pressure tightness is
determined by visual observation; therefore, it is not necessary to measure the make-up
water. Examine every fused joint, any leakage must be repaired and then retested.
NOTE: It shall be the responsibility of the contractor to ensure that appropriate safety
precautions are observed during hydrostatic testing above ground.
13. Pressure-testing Sewer Pipe in the Trench (force main)
a. Fill the pipeline with water after it has been laid; bleed off any trapped air. Subject
the lowest element in the system to a test pressure that is 1.5 times the design
pressure, and check for any leakage. When, in the opinion of the Engineer, local
conditions require that the trenches be backfilled immediately after the pipe has
been laid, apply the pressure test after backfilling has been completed but not
sooner than a time which will allow sufficient curing of any concrete that may have
been used. Typical minimum concrete curing times are 36 hours for early strengths
and 7 days for normal strengths.
b. The test procedures consist of two steps; the initial expansion and the test phase.
When test pressure is applied to a water filled pipe, the pipe expands. During the
initial expansion of the pipe under test, sufficient make-up water must be added to
the system at hourly intervals for 3 hours to maintain the test pressure. After about 4
hours, initial expansion should be complete and the actual test can start.
c. When the test is to begin, the pipe is full of water and is subjected to a constant test
pressure of 1.5 times the system design pressure. The test phase should not exceed
3 hours, after which time any water deficiency must be replaced and measured. Add
and measure the amount of make-up water required to return to the test pressure
and compare this to the maximum allowance in the table below.
d. An alternate leakage test consists of maintaining the test pressure (described above)
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 9 – Design Standards for Sanitary Sewer Extensions
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
over a period of 4 hours and then dropping the pressure by 1.0 psi (0.69 MPa). If the
pressure then remains within 5% of the target value for 1 hour, this indicates there is
no leakage in the system.
NOTE: Under no circumstances shall the total time under test exceed 8 hours at 1.5
times the system pressure rating. If the test is not complete within this time limit (due
to leakage, equipment failure, etc.), the test section shall be permitted to “relax” for 8
hours prior to the next test sequence.
i. Air testing is not recommended. Additional safety precautions may be required.

The City does not use thrust blocks for fire hydrants. Each fire hydrant shall be secured with
mega lugs. For mains crossing other pipes, the City will require additional restraints.
D. Special Construction (Pipeline Casings)
1. General
This division covers the boring and jacking of pipeline casings and the installation of carrier
pipe.
2. Submittals
Submit the following for review:
a. Casing pipe drawings, details, and thickness calculations
b. Carrier pipe placement method and equipment
c. Utility crossing permits
3. Quality Assurance
The boring contractor shall have regularly engaged in work of this nature for at least five
years.
4. Other Utilities
No other utilities are allowed to be placed inside the casing without the prior express
written consent of the City Engineer and a satisfactory hold harmless Agreement.
5. Casing Pipe
a. Provide welded steel pipe of the minimum diameter and thickness approved by the
City Engineer. The casing ID shall be at least four inches larger than the carrier bell
OD. Provide pipe of sufficient wall thickness and axial strength to withstand the
forces encountered during the jacking operation, but in no case less than 3/8 inch.
The casing shall be designed to withstand all imposed loads plus a corrosion
allowance of 1/4 inch.
b. Fabricate the pipe in conformance with ASTM A 252, Grade 2 except the hydrostatic
test is waived. Provide tapped grout holes at the top of the casing at reasonable
intervals. Install plugs in the tapped holes.
6. Joints
Weld sections of casing pipe with a continuous circumferential weld. Provide stress transfer
across the joints capable of resisting the jacking forces involved.
7. Casing End Seals
Seals shall be 1/4-inch (minimum) thickness, pull on style end seals fabricated from EPDM
synthetic rubber with stainless steel bands and clamps. End seals shall be as manufactured
by PSI Industries or approved equal.
8. Carrier Pipe Skids
Provide custom engineered skids/isolators to isolate the carrier pipe from the casing. The
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 9 – Design Standards for Sanitary Sewer Extensions
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
insulator shall consist of a PVC insulating liner (90 mil minimum thickness), 12-inch wide,
12-gauge (minimum) steel bands with steel risers and glass reinforced plastic or ultra-high
molecular weight runners. The skids shall be designed to properly support the pipe filled
with sanitary sewer. The runners shall be designed so that the carrier pipe joints clear the
casing by two inches. The ferrous components of the insulator and steel bands shall be
shop coated with a minimum of 10 mils PVC heat fusion coating. All miscellaneous
hardware including stud bolts, washers, and nuts shall be 316 stainless steel. Skids shall
center the pipe in the casing. Provide skids as manufactured by PSI Industries, Cascade
Manufacturing Co., or approved equal.
The minimum number of required skids is 3 per pipe length for the entire length of the
casing.
9. Sand
Unless specifically required by the City Engineer, sand shall not be used in a casing for filling
between the casing and carrier pipe. In those instances where the City Engineer does
require sand, it shall be clean and 90-100 percent will pass the No. 4 sieve. Not more than
5 percent will pass the No. 200 sieve. Sand shall be free from clay and organic material.
10. Casing Excavation and Installation
Prior to installing the casing, thoroughly investigate the locations of existing utilities. The
Contractor shall pothole the casing location to verify that there are no interferences.
Equip the leading section of casing pipe with a jacking head securely anchored to prevent
any wobble or variation in alignment during jacking operation. Make every effort to avoid
loss of ground outside the jacking head. If excessive ground loss occurs, stop excavation
and fill void with grout.
The casing shall be installed in such a manner that it is not damaged or deflected to reduce
its true circular diameter.
11. Tolerances
A maximum horizontal and vertical tolerance of three inches per 100 linear feet of jacked
casing is permitted.
12. Grouting
After jacking is completed, fill voids by pumping grout through grout holes in the casing at
any locations of ground loss and elsewhere where voids are suspected. Plug grout holes
after grouting. Take care to avoid over-pumping grout and disturbing the improvements
the casing was jacked under.
13. Carrier Pipe
a. All pipe installed in casing shall have restrained joints.
b. Protect pipe as necessary during installation to insure against damage. Install the
carrier pipe with the skids located not more than two feet from each end of the pipe
joints. The skids shall be adequate in number to hold the pipe to grade, and not less
than two skids shall be installed on each section of pipe. Provide skids within 6
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 9 – Design Standards for Sanitary Sewer Extensions
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 02/2019
inches of each end of the casing.
c. After installation and testing of the carrier piping, carefully fill the remaining space in
the casing with pneumatically placed sand unless directed by the City Engineer to
leave the casing unfilled. Take care to avoid floating the carrier pipe.
d. Install casing end seals and secure in place with stainless steel bands. Make seals
watertight.

City of Port Orchard
Chapter 10 – Design Standards for Small Cell Wireless
Telecommunication Facilities
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 2/6/2019
12.1 Introduction
On September 26, 2018, the Federal Communications Commission issued a declaratory ruling
concerning small cell facilities (FFF 18-133). This chapter of the City’s Public Works and
Engineering Standard and Specifications is intended to regulate the aesthetics and design of
Small Cell Telecommunication Facilities consistent with this ruling.
12.2 Pole Mounted Small Cell Telecommunication Facilities
A. Pole Design.
An existing pole may be replaced or added onto to accommodate small cell
antennas and related equipment, subject to the following requirements:
1. Existing Poles. The height of any existing Pole shall not be altered, except when
minor deviations up to the minimum additional height are needed to allow
sufficient space for the required clearance from electrical utility wires when
required to accommodate antennae at the top of a Pole or a pole extender,
which shall be no greater than fifteen (15) feet tall and shall be the minimum
necessary to achieve required safety clearances and to satisfy pole owner
requirements. To accommodate concealed equipment and cabling, the City may
also approve minor deviations of up to fifty percent (50%) of the original Pole
width or thirty inches (30”), whichever is greater, when housing equipment within
the Pole base.
2. Replacement Poles. Replacement Poles shall match the height, width, color (to
the extent possible), and material of the original or adjacent Poles. The City may
approve minor deviations up to the minimum additional height needed to allow
sufficient space for the required clearance from electrical utility wires when
required to accommodate antennae at the top of a Pole or a pole extender,
which shall be no greater than fifteen (15) feet tall and shall be the minimum
required to achieve required safety clearances and to satisfy pole owner
requirements. To accommodate concealed equipment and cabling, the City may
also approve minor deviations of up to fifty percent (50%) of the original Pole
width or thirty inches (30”), whichever is greater, when housing equipment within
the Pole base. Replacement Poles shall be located as close as possible to the
existing Pole, and the replaced Pole shall be removed.
3. Internal Cabling. Where technically feasible, all equipment and cabling shall be
internal to the Pole.
City of Port Orchard
Chapter 10 – Design Standards for Small Cell Wireless
Telecommunication Facilities
www.cityofportorchard.us publicworks@cityofportorchard.us Updated 2/6/2019
4. Equipment Concealed. Where technically feasible, all antennas and equipment
shall be fully concealed within a Pole. If such concealment is not technically
feasible, antennas shall be configured to reduce the visual impact to the
greatest extent feasible. .Any equipment that cannot be concealed within a Pole
or undergrounded consistent with this chapter due to technical infeasibility shall
be camouflaged to appear to be an integrated component of a Pole. Any
equipment attached to a Pole pursuant to this subsection shall be contained
within the smallest possible enclosure and attached to the Pole in a manner
consistent with this Chapter. Section 12.5 of this chapter shows examples of
successfully concealed and unsuccessfully concealed small cell equipment.
5. Flush Mounting and Pole-Top Antennas. When permitted, a Small Cell Facility
shall, to the full extent permitted under the state electrical code, other applicable
safety codes, and the Pole owner’s requirements. Canisters containing an
antenna attached to the top of a Pole shall not exceed the diameter of the Pole.
If, due to technical feasibility, a canister must exceed the diameter of a Pole, the
canister shall not have a diameter that is more than fifty percent (50%) greater
than the diameter of the Pole.
6. Material and Color. Where internal cabling or equipment concealing is
demonstrated not to be technically feasible, a Small Cell Facility shall be made to
match the color of the Pole to the maximum extent possible and shall be non-
reflective.
7. Antenna Design. Where an enclosure, such as a canister, is proposed to house an
antenna, the antenna shall be located in an enclosure of no more than three (3)
cubic feet in volume, or in case of an antenna that has exposed elements, the
antenna and all of its exposed elements could fit within an enclosure of no more
than three (3) cubic feet.
8. No Illumination. Small Cell Facilities shall not be illuminated.
9. Generators and Backup Battery. Generators are not permitted for Small Cell
Facilities. A battery backup may be permitted provided it is concealed or
camouflaged, as applicable, in a manner consistent with this Chapter.

A. Location Requirements.
1. To allow full use of the Public Right-of-Way by pedestrians, bicycles and other
users, all ground-mounted equipment shall be consistent with Municipal Code,
including but not limited to Port Orchard Municipal Code Chapter 12.16,
concealed in the base of a Pole, or concealed in street furniture, and shall comply
with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), City construction standards, and
State and federal regulations in order to provide clear and safe passage within the
Public Right-of-Way.
12.4 Other Small Cell Telecommunication Facilities Standards and
Specifications
A. Additional Guidance. This section contains examples of acceptable and
unacceptable small cell facility applications and should be used to clarify the
intent of the written standards found in this chapter.

Appendix C – Traffic Impact Analysis
Appendix A
Scope of Transportation Impact Analysis
It is recommended that the applicant’s traffic engineer consult with the City DCD and PWD staff prior to preparing the study to establish the scope and basic assumptions of the study and any requested deviations from these Guidelines to avoid unnecessary delays or revisions. The appropriate level of traffic analysis is determined by the
specifics of a project, the prevailing roadway conditions servicing the project, and the forecasted traffic volumes.
The City will review each development application on a case-by-case basis and may make recommendations that differ from the guidelines. A preliminary scoping memorandum, including but not limited to, the following project-related information must be submitted to the City for review and comment:
Description of the proposed development and zoning
Type and size of development (number of residential units and/or square footage of building)
Project location (vicinity map and site plan)
Proposed access and relationship to adjacent properties/driveways and streets
Phasing and timing of development - If the proposed development/redevelopment is to be constructed
in phases, describe each phase and the proposed implementation timing
Trips generation per the latest edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation
manual and Trip Generation handbook, and assumptions used for trip generation
Project trip distribution percentages and assignment at project driveways and/or localized
nonconcurrency intersections
The City will review the scoping memo to determine whether or not further analyses are needed. If a TIA is
required, the following items will be provided to the applicant:
Available traffic count data
Accident data
Existing Synchro files
Programmed/funded motorized and non-motorized improvements in the study area
Pipeline projects and area wide growth assumptions (background traffic calculation methods)
Need for special analyses/studies
A TIA scoping meeting may need to be held after review of the preliminary information to clarify issues surrounding a project or some elements of the review process. The City reserves the right to establish the study area as may be deemed necessary. Correspondence with other affected jurisdictions impacted by the
development shall be discussed at the scoping meeting.
Appendix B
Transportation Impact Analysis
Format and Required Elements
The TIA should document the purpose, procedures, data sources, assumptions, findings, conclusions and
recommendations of the study. The report might be of interest to decision makers and other nontechnical
people. Hence, technical terms and jargon need to be explained, clarity should not be sacrificed, and it should be
concise and complete. Description of coordination efforts with other affected jurisdictions impacted by the
development shall be included in the report. The report format presented below provides a uniform framework
that will facilitate both the preparation and the review of the report. However, not all of the contents
described below may be required for each development. Rather the City will identify the sections required for each development TIA at the scoping meeting based on the Thresholds for
Probable Adverse Significant Impacts described on pages 2 through 4.
Report Cover
Include development name and location, applicant’s name, preparer’s name and organization, and report date.
Title Page
Include project name and address, application number, applicant’s name, address and telephone number, date
of original report and revision date, preparer’s name, title, organization, address and telephone number, name,
address, phone number and/or email address of licensed engineer, stamp and expiration date.
Table of Contents, List of Figures, Tables and Appendices
The report should contain a table of contents and a list of figures, tables and appendices.
Executive Summary
The Executive Summary of the report shall include the study purpose, a general description of the project scope,
site location, development description, study area, concise description of major findings, recommendations and
mitigation measures.
Description of Proposed Development
The TIA should provide a full description of the proposed development including but not limited to the
following:
A vicinity map shall be provided illustrating the site location, study area, and the surrounding
transportation network (major streets and key intersections). The limits of the study area will have been
determined at the scoping meeting with the City.
Location of approved or proposed developments in the vicinity of the project should be included in the
report. These can be obtained from the City. These developments should be included as base
assumptions where applicable in the analysis of the transportation impacts.
Location and type of existing and proposed improvements, buildings, building appurtenances, fuel
pumps, and drive through facilities.
Size of Development (total development area, total area of each building and locations, floor space
including a summary of each type of land use including number of residential units, etc.).
Existing land use and zoning.
Proposed land use and zoning – Intended use of the site, including the range of uses allowed without
additional land-use approvals. The land use with the greatest overall traffic impact shall be assumed in
the study (worst case scenario), unless the applicant specifies the uses for the site.
Existing and proposed parking (number of spaces, dimensions, circulation).
A detailed site plan including location and orientation of existing and proposed access points and type of
access (full access, right-in/right-out, turning movement restrictions, sight lines, etc.), driveway throat
lengths, other access points adjacent to or opposite the site, project internal roadway system, adjacent
streets, parking facilities, internal circulation patterns for vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians, fire lanes,
traffic control devices and tracking patterns of the design vehicles for the access, circulation, loading
docks and garbage receptacles. Distances from existing streets, driveways, and/or median openings to
development access should also be shown. The site plan shall be at an appropriate scale to allow proper
review by the City staff and should be included in the appendix of the report if possible or submitted as
an attachment to the traffic study. For situations where a site plan does not exist, a prototypical site
roadway and access system should be assumed for purposes of the study. Subsequent update will be
necessary when a site plan becomes available.
The TIA shall describe the proposed development schedule and staging/phasing, including the
anticipated opening date, the anticipated completion date for each major phase of development and
the anticipated full build out completion date.
Each TIA shall present an analysis of the traffic conditions without and with the proposed project at year
of completion, including all pipeline development at project driveways and local non-concurrency
intersections. The future year traffic volumes, including pipeline development, can be obtained from the
City’s travel demand model, or by other means approved by the City.
The critical time periods for traffic is directly associated to the scope of the TIA and with the peaking
characteristics of the background traffic and the proposed development traffic. In most cases, the
weekday evening (PM) peak hour of the street will be the only analysis period required for the traffic
study. For certain types of development (e.g., churches, schools, some retail uses, shopping centers,
etc.) other peak hours may be added (e.g., a.m., midday or weekend, holidays, project peak hours, etc.)
or eliminated from the analysis, if approved by the DSD or PWE Department.
Any other pertinent information
Existing Conditions
Study Area Roadway System
A thorough review of available data and description of the existing transportation system within the study area,
using a combination of maps and other documentation should identify relevant information, such as the
following:
All applicable roads on which a driveway is proposed and/or an impact to a non-concurrency
intersection has been identified. The road description should include the number of lanes, lane usage
(i.e., identify through lanes, two-way left-turn lanes, merge lanes, shoulders/curbing, parking/type, etc.),
pavement type, right-of-way width, shoulder and sidewalk widths, general topography, roadway
classification and posted speed limits.
Traffic control devices including signalizations, signing and pavement markings that might affect or be
affected by the project.
Distances from existing streets and driveways to development access points.
Alignment with existing streets and driveways to development access points.
If appropriate, on-street parking in the vicinity of the development site and those that affect the
operation of key intersections being analyzed.
Heavy vehicle prohibitions and restrictions
Marked pedestrian crosswalks in the vicinity of the development site.
School route plan (if relevant to the proposed development).
Existing and planned bicycle and pedestrian facilities including bike lanes, sidewalks, and multiuse paths
adjacent to the project site, utilized by the project, connected to by the project, or impacted by the
project should be identified and described in detail.
Any transit facilities including the service provider(s), route numbers, frequency, and location/amenities
of existing bus stops in the immediate vicinity of the project should be provided.
Minimum turning path of design vehicles, following the AASHTO guidelines of selecting the design
vehicle and measuring, recording and reporting existing and proposed turning radii.
Other pertinent information
Traffic Volumes
Daily and peak hour traffic counts should be collected for use in the study at impacted intersections where the
City does not already maintain an existing count. If counts are required, these counts shall typically be collected
between 4-6 PM on a typical Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday for all roadways and intersections in the study
area. However, the type of development or local conditions may require counts be also taken on weekends or
other time periods. Establishment of times for turning movement and daily counts will be made during the
scoping meeting.
The counts should be conducted during weeks which have no holidays and if possible during the school year. In
situations when traffic counts must be conducted while school is not in session, a seasonal adjustment shall be
applied to daily and peak hour volumes collected for use in the study. The seasonal adjustment should be
approved by the DSD or PWE staff. For projects which include improvements to schools or sites adjacent to
schools, it will be necessary to include peak hour counts from the school take-in and dismissal times. No counts
should be performed from the end of the school year through the week of Labor Day. In addition, traffic data
should not be collected during the following:
December 15 to the week which includes New Year’s Day
School holidays or late opening/early closing
Occasions influenced by an accident, road or lane closure, inclement weather, or other events
Typical traffic data should be collected in 15-minute increments. Intersection turning movement counts shall
include peak hour factor calculations, heavy vehicle percentages, pedestrian and bicycle counts, and HOV lane
counts. The exact locations, how, and when counts were taken should be included in the report. The existing
counts should be presented in a diagram format in the report.
Future Conditions
Programmed Roadway Improvements
Projects from the City’s Capital Improvement Program (roadways and intersections or any other transportation
circulation improvements) may be used in the future year analysis. The traffic study should include a discussion
of the scope and the status of the assumed improvements. The improvements of other jurisdictional agencies
within the study area should also be identified. DCD and PWD staff will determine what approved City traffic
improvements may be considered in the analysis. A map showing the committed and funded improvements
should be included in the report.
Projected Traffic Volumes
For estimating the traffic impacts of a proposed development, it is recommended to use the traffic volumes
from the City’s travel demand model for two cases: (a) without the proposed development, and (b) with the
proposed development. The incremental impacts are attributed to the site-generated traffic. The report should
include graphical presentations which illustrate peak hour and daily (including turning movements at the study
intersections) forecast volumes for the future year with and without the proposed project traffic.
Future/Background Traffic Volumes without Development
Background traffic should reflect any existing facilities plus planned future traffic. Planned future traffic is
included in the City’s travel demand model.
Proposed Project Traffic
The latest edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, Trip Generation
Handbook, or other industry publications such as the ITE Journal should be used to estimate project-generated
trips for the daily and study peak periods. Data limitations, data age, choice of peak hour or adjacent street
traffic, choice of independent variable and choice of average rate versus statistical significant modification shall
be presented and discussed.
In cases where published trip generation rates are based on very limited data or do not adequately represent
the proposed land use(s), a local trip generation study following procedures prescribed in the ITE Trip
Generation manual may be required to provide sufficient justification for the proposed generation rate.
Deviations from ITE rates must be justified, documented and approved by the City DCD or PW Department prior
to the submittal of the report.
Trip credits can be taken for land uses that will be discontinued once the development is complete, assuming
those uses were active within one year of the traffic study submittal. Trip generation adjustments may be
justified to account for internal and/or pass-by trips. Internal trip reductions can only be applied for mixed-use
types of developments and pass-by reductions for retail/commercial type developments (e.g., fast food
restaurants with drive-through windows, service stations). Pass-by trip reductions greater than 15% require
approval by the City, and should be discussed in the traffic study. Captured/internal trip reduction greater than
5% requires consultation and acceptance by City, and should be discussed in the traffic study. The justification
for internal or pass-by trip reductions will require analytical support based on verifiable actual similar
developments to demonstrate how the figures were derived and will require approval by DCD or PWD staff prior
to use.
All trips, including pass-by trips, must be included in the analysis of the project’s driveways. Trip generation
adjustments for transit and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) actions must also be justified with
analytical support to show how the figures were derived. Optimistic assumptions regarding transit use and TDM
actions will not be acceptable unless accompanied by specific implementation proposals that will become a
condition of approval. Such implementation proposals must have a reasonable expectation of realization within
a 2-year period after project initiation.
A table must be provided in the study report identifying the categories and quantities of land uses, with the
corresponding trips rates or equations and the resulting number of trips. This table also needs to identify all
adjustments to the trip generation, specifically pass-by trips, existing trips, internal trips, TDM and transit trips.
For large developments that will be constructed in phases, the table should identify each significant phase
separately.
Project Trip Distribution and Assignment
The City’s travel demand model or other City approved methods should be used to estimate site trip distribution
and assignment. Any adjustments to the model distribution shall be fully documented and subject to approval
by the DCD or PWD staff. As needed, the City’s travel demand model may need to be disaggregated in the
vicinity of the proposed project to provide sufficient detail to appropriately analyze study area
facilities/driveways. All model assumptions and modifications should be documented. No modifications other
than documented land use or roadway network assumptions should be made to the travel demand model
without approval of the DCD or PWD.
The distribution of site generated traffic at project driveways and/or local non-concurrency intersections should
be presented (including distribution/assignment of pass-by trips) in the report in a graphic format showing, by
direction, percentage and number of site generated trips. The presentations should include Average Daily Traffic
(ADT) and peak hour directional volumes as well as turning movements.
Future Traffic Volumes with Development
Total peak hours and daily traffic volumes shall be graphically shown combining project and background traffic
for the project horizon years.
Traffic Analysis and Impact
To determine the potential localized traffic impacts of a proposed development, the following scenarios shall be
analyzed for the study time periods when appropriate:
Existing Traffic Conditions without project traffic
Future/Background Traffic Conditions without Development
Future Traffic Conditions with Development
Conclusions regarding the adverse impacts caused by the project on the roadway system should be discussed in
this section. Depending on the development type, size, location, etc., all or some of the following technical
analyses may need to be included in the traffic study.
Operational/Capacity Analysis
Capacity analyses must be performed using the principles of the latest version of the Highway Capacity Manual
for all identified intersections/access points determined through the scoping meeting. Synchro/SimTraffic
version 8.0 software or other City approved software should be used for the capacity analysis. City may
recommend the use of other traffic analysis software where applicable.
The City’s traffic operations model will be provided with the available existing conditions Synchro files that
contain the existing signalized intersections channelization and signal timings, etc. These files may need to be
updated with the new traffic counts (e.g., volumes, peak hour factors, heavy vehicle %, pedestrian and bicycle
volumes, etc.) and other applicable project related information (e.g., new roadways or intersections, adding
unsignalized intersection or driveways, etc.). No changes to signal timing/phasing from those included in the
City’s Synchro model shall be made without the approval of the DCD or PWD staff. The City will determine
whether or not the existing timings should be used for the future condition analysis after review of the project
information and horizon year(s). Geometric data such as the number of lanes, lane widths, adjacent parking
lanes and grade may be available from the City (Synchro files). Where not available, the consultant will have to
obtain the missing data.
All assumptions and modifications used in the performance of analysis concerning lane configurations/use,
pedestrian activity, saturation flows, lane utilization factors and other relevant parameters should be noted and
justified in the text of the report. Modifications without justification can lead to delays in review as we wait for
clarification from the Consultant. Appendix C contains the City of Issaquah Synchro Modeling Guidelines which
provides a listing of the various assumptions, factors and methodologies to be used for Synchro analyses.
The performance of intersections should be reported as overall intersection LOS, delay and V/C ratio (for
signalized, roundabout, and all-way stop intersections); and individual intersection approach movements LOS,
delay, V/C ratio for all intersection control types. The analysis results, deficiencies and impacts should be
discussed in the report especially for the following conditions:
The overall V/C ratio of an intersection exceeds 0.85;
The V/C ratio of an individual thru movement or shared thru/turning movement exceeds 0.85;
The V/C ratio of an exclusive turning movement exceeds 1.0; or,
LOS and delay for the overall intersection or any individual movement exceeds the acceptable LOS
threshold.
Supplementary surveys or analyses may be needed to assess saturation flows and gap availability. In the case of
congested intersections, particularly where the existing volume/capacity ratio is greater than 1.0, it is advisable
to conduct further field observations of intersection operations, saturation flows, queues, and delays to confirm
and/or rationalize the results of the performance analysis. Where the traffic volumes through an intersection do
not appear to reflect actual demand, for example, where the intersection throughput is constrained by
downstream congestion, performance analyses may indicate low (good) volumes/capacity ratios which mask
actual problems. Field observations may be necessary in these situations to determine the necessary
adjustments to performance calculations so that actual conditions are fairly represented.
All software outputs should be clearly labeled indicating the time frame for analysis. The output sheets should
show all of the capacity analysis results that are listed in the tables included in the body of the report. Software
output must explicitly show all input and phase lengths used in analysis. All electronic data files for software
must be provided on a CD as a supplement to the report. Please ensure that staff can interrelate data tables in
your report, printouts in your appendices and all data files on the CD.
Traffic Control Needs
When needed, an analysis to determine whether traffic control warrants (traffic signals, stop signs, or yield
signs) are met with the development traffic may be required. The warrant analysis should be based on the
procedures in the latest edition of the Manual on Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The percentage of right-
turns-on-red must be justified on the signal warrant analysis.
In cases where a new signal is being proposed within a corridor of existing signals, a supplementary analysis of
traffic signal “system” operations may be required to assess effects on traffic signal coordination. In this
scenario, both concurrency and non-concurrency intersections may be included in the analysis. The acceptability
of the signal locations must be demonstrated through a signal progression analysis. Signal warrant analyses may
be conducted using projected traffic volumes to identify potential need for the installation of traffic signals.
However, traffic signals will not be installed until actual traffic counts at the intersection meet warrant
thresholds.
Gap Study
A gap study identifies the gaps in traffic to determine if the frequency and duration of the gaps is sufficient to
permit the safe crossing and merging of side-street traffic, and/or pedestrians. Particular attention should be
given to elderly pedestrians and children who have slower than average walking speeds. A gap analysis will need
to be performed on a driveway where a signal is requested.
Accident Analysis
Five years of the most current accident data shall be obtained for intersections and roadways within the study
area. Accidents involving pedestrian and bicyclists should also be included. This data shall be summarized within
the report in tabular form (accident type, number and severity for each location) along with a brief written
description at each location. A discussion of accident occurrence as it relates to sight distance or other roadway
geometric deficiencies, signing, and illumination should be included.
Average accident rates should be calculated and compared with statewide averages for similarly classified
roadways and/or the citywide averages provided by the City of Issaquah. Intersection rates are calculated
independently from mid-block segment accident rates. Intersection accident rates should be calculated as
accidents per million entering vehicles, whereas mid-block accident rates should be calculated as accidents per
million vehicle miles.
Site Access and Circulation
Access points should be evaluated in terms of capacity, safety and adequacy of queue storage. Access points
should be free of all encumbrances and provide appropriate sight triangles. The quality of access as it relates to
the internal site circulation will have a direct relationship on the quality of traffic flow in and around the site
development, as well as a direct impact on public safety. Proposed access points should be evaluated with
respect to possible mutual interference with other adjacent or opposed access points. Joint access and cross
access by two or more properties may be desirable depending upon use.
Site access and circulation analysis shall be conducted and recommendations shall be included in the traffic
study to address safe and acceptable traffic operations. The identification of access points between the site and
the external roadway system and subsequent recommendation concerning the design of those access points is
directly related to both the directional distribution of site traffic and the internal circulation of the facility.
Provisions for appropriate vehicular-exit queuing should be made at all access drives to a development. For
small developments, parking areas and access points should be designed so that exiting drivers can align their
vehicles perpendicular to the off-site roadway system. For large developments, queuing areas should be
sufficient so that vehicles stored at exits do not block internal circulation.
The traffic study should calculate anticipated queues and minimum required throat depth at the project access
points. The analysis should also evaluate the proposed site plan for sight distance and other unsafe traffic
conditions and provide recommendations to mitigate them. The need to restrict certain movements to avoid
conflicts should be assessed. Direct access to arterial roads should be justified in the context of available
alternative access opportunities.
Adverse effects of site access on road and transit operations should be identified and appropriate remedial
measures identified and evaluated. The requirements for left-turn and right-turn lanes at the driveway (exiting
the site) and on the public roadway at the project driveway (entering the site) should be evaluated. Where
appropriate, potential weaving problems should be assessed and evaluated, including the need for acceleration
or deceleration lanes, and conflicts with pedestrian and bicycle movements. Internal circulation should provide
access to all areas in a manner understood to drivers. Internal roadways should be marked and signed in
accordance with recommendations in the MUTCD. Delivery vehicle/courier loading/unloading facilities and the
tracking of design vehicle movements related to access points, circulation roads/aisles, loading docks, and
garbage receptacles should be evaluated with respect to location, size and design. Convenient access should be
provided to off-street loading facilities to minimize the possibility that pick-up/delivery operation will occur on
the public street. Evaluate the potential for access and circulation movements associated with on-site parking or
other activity (such as drive-through service windows) resulting in queues extending onto public streets, or
vehicles backing onto public streets. Describe and evaluate site access provisions for pedestrians and cyclists
with particular emphasis on convenient and safe access to transit services.
Sight Distance Evaluation
At each access point and at each intersection where a new road is proposed, the sight distance requirements
(intersection, stopping, entering, corner sight distance, etc.) should be determined based on appropriate
standards (City, WSDOT and AASHTO standards), and the availability of sight distance determined from actual
field measurements of existing streets or based on subdivision plans for large scale developments. Line of sight
triangles for determining sight distances and landscape and/or other restrictions shall be drawn on the site plan.
If a deficiency exists, recommendations to improve the deficiency need to be incorporated into the report.
Necessary line-of-sight-clearing to insure adequate sight distance should be clearly indicated.
Neighborhood Impacts
Neighborhood transportation impacts are primarily caused by site generated traffic using neighborhood streets
as short cuts. This “cut-through” traffic can impact pedestrian safety and community cohesion. Most
neighborhoods are sensitive to cut-through traffic and hence an analysis should be conducted (if applicable) to
evaluate the neighborhood impacts of the proposed development.
Evaluation of Transit, Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities
Impacts to non-motorized facilities (including park-and-ride) should be identified, particularly in cases where the
development is located in an area with incomplete non-motorized facilities, and/or the existing facilities will be
modified by the proposed development. Evaluate future pedestrian activity associated with the development
and related implications for signal warrant calculation and signal timing requirements to provide pedestrian
road-crossing opportunities. Of particular interest are pedestrian connections to transit services.
Other Special Analyses and Studies
Specific focused traffic analyses and studies may be requested by the City relevant to the proposed
development to address issues such as; truck estimates and pavement design, parking impacts (including on-
street and off-street and special events), safe school routes, spot speed studies, queue length studies,
emergency routes, etc.
Mitigation Identification and Recommendations
This section outlines the process of identification of operational and safety transportation improvements and
other measures required to ensure that acceptable and safe operation of the transportation system is
maintained. Project impacts (i.e., capacity, operational, safety, etc.) are measured by comparing “Future without
Project” to “Future with project” traffic conditions. For identified impacts, the traffic study must identify and
discuss mitigation measures that will be implemented by the proposed development. Mitigation measures
should be specific and feasible actions that will improve adverse transportation impacts to acceptable levels of
service or safety levels. An effective mitigation measure shall adequately avoid, minimize, rectify, or compensate
an impact. The capacity analysis results, summaries, and software output should be prepared as described in the
Operational/Capacity Analysis section of these guidelines. Potential mitigation measures include:
Locate access point(s) to optimize visibility/sight distance and reduce potential conflicts. Dedicate
visibility easement to assure adequate sight distance at intersections and driveways.
Addition of travel lanes (left, right, thru, acceleration and deceleration lanes). The report must identify
the impacts associated with such a change (right-of-way need and feasibility). All mitigations should be
reviewed in the field to make sure that they can be accommodated.
Increasing the length of turn lanes storage pockets/bays.
Traffic control modification.
Upgrade and/or modification of phasing at existing signals.
Signal timing modification. If signal timing modifications are proposed for an intersection within a
coordinated signal system, the entire signal system must be analyzed to ensure that any proposed
changes do not cause the entire system or part of the system to fail.
Provide channelized islands.
Restriction of project driveway(s) turning movements.
Installation of traffic signs
ITS improvements such as CCTV traffic cameras and fiber optic communication equipment
Transit facilities, such as bus turn-outs, park-and-ride lots, and/or bus stops.
Design on-site traffic circulation and parking facilities to allow free flow access and to avoid queuing
onto public streets. Provide adequate off-street parking in accordance with City Code and ITE Demand
statistics.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities - Provide for access to, from, and through development for bicyclists
and pedestrians. Recommend designing bicycle paths, lanes, and facilities; sidewalks, shared use routes,
other walkways.
Reduce or change proposed land use
Provide transportation demand management (TDM) measures, where feasible. TDM measures include
flexible work hours or adjusting shift schedules to avoid peak hours of the adjacent roadways,
promoting ridesharing or vanpools, and promoting alternate modes of travel to include bicycles,
pedestrians and public transportation. When TDM plans are proposed as mitigation measures, the
applicant may be required to submit a report to PWE Transportation to document the success of the
program two years after full occupancy of the development. Maps and graphics shall be included in the
report depicting all mitigation measures dealing with roadway, parking and access points. These maps
and graphics must be drawn to scale with existing and recommended roadway geometrics dimensioned
(e.g., road width, lane width, 95th percentile queue length, etc.). The intent of such graphics is to assist in
determining the feasibility of a proposed mitigation. Graphics must include adjacent structures/trees,
parking areas, bus stops, pedestrian crosswalks, driveways, etc. All recommended improvements shall
meet current City standards. It is important to structure recommendations for improvements within
appropriate time perspectives.
Recommendations should be sensitive to the following issues:
Timing of short- or long-range network improvements that are already planned and scheduled
Anticipated time schedule of adjacent developments
Size and timing of individual phases of the proposed developments
Logical sequencing of various improvements or segments
Availability and feasibility of additional right-of-way within the appropriate time frames
Local priorities for transportation improvements and funding
Cost-effectiveness of implementing improvements at a given stage of development
Necessary lead-time for additional design and construction.
All recommended improvements including construction schedule and financing plan should be identified on a
summary sheet in this section of the report. In cases where phased development of a project is proposed, a
schedule identifying the improvements needed to mitigate traffic impacts at each phase will be required.
Transportation system changes proposed in conjunction with the development or redevelopment proposal must
be compatible with other elements of the transportation system and must be warranted, safe, and contribute to
more effective and efficient movement of people and goods. Generally, the proponent of a development or
redevelopment proposal is financially responsible for transportation improvements reasonably required to
accommodate the proposal or to mitigate adverse impacts of the proposal. Normally such changes will be
included as conditions of development approval.
