OAR 734-051-2010
Rights of Access — General Provisions

(1)

Right of Access Required for Private Approach. In order for the department to approve an application requesting a private approach, the property for which application is made must have a right of access to the state highway as defined in OAR 734-051-1070 (Definitions). A right of access or a recorded easement establishing a right of access does not guarantee approval of an approach permit. Where no right of access exists, an application for a grant of access must be submitted before an application for state highway approach will be deemed complete. The department will not approve a grant of access where an application for approach permit cannot be approved.

(2)

Right of Access Required for Public Approach. Where no right of access exists, a local jurisdiction must submit an application for a grant of access with its application to construct a public approach. The department will not approve a grant of access where an application to construct a public approach cannot be approved.

(3)

Request to Verify Right of Access. Upon request, the department shall verify whether a property abutting the state highway has a right of access and identify any restrictions or limitations of the right.

(4)

Removal of Farm Use Restrictions. Removing a farm crossing or farm use restriction from a reservation of access requires a grant of access from the department.
