Road
and Bridge Department
Entrance Requirements |
| Miami
County Road & Bridge requires that a property owner have permission
from the Department before any entrance is established or reconstructed.
The landowner has the option of obtaining a permit and installing
or reconstructing an entrance or paying the Department to perform
the work. |
Application/Installation
Procedure
- Obtain and
properly fill out an application Permit.
- Pay $50 processing
fee
- Mark center
location of entrance with the “County Provided Flag”.
(Please keep in mind
several factors when marking your location)
- Have
at least 350’ of sight distance in both directions.
- Make
sure brush is not within the sight line.
- The
larger the drainage area upstream, the larger the diameter
of pipe will be needed, therefore increasing your cost
- Driveways
(including circle) must have a minimum of 185’ of
space between entrances and depending on the road classification
may require 300’ to 350’ spacing.
- The
entrance needs to be 200’ to 300’ from the intersection
depending on the roadway classification.
- The County
will determine the final location of the entrance and the cost
for the county installation of the entrance.
- The applicant
can either pay the county to install the entrance or obtain a
permit to install the entrance themselves. If the landowner elects
to install the entrance, they must post a minimim $500 cash bond
and follow all the rules of the Utility Accommodation Policy.
- Once the
entrance is constructed the landowner is responsible for it until
the County issues the occupancy permit. If the culvert is damaged
during construction the County reserves the right to deny the
occupancy permit. Please be advised that construction equipment
such as concrete trucks, lumber trucks, etc. are primarily responsible
for the majority of culvert damage (i.e., crushed ends)
- Asphalt
or Concrete driveways are to stop at the Right-of-Way line unless
the street is Curb and Gutter or the Petitioner has written approval
from the Highway Department.
- After the
culvert has final approval, the County is responsible for replacement
of the culvert should it be necessary.
