It is the intent of this title to provide for orderly development that ensures the public has adequate access for emergency equipment and other public services. Therefore, residential or commercial buildings erected or moved onto any lot, tract, or parcel of land in any zone that does not abut a maintained road that is accepted by Bingham County or the State of Idaho must have access to a private road or easement and the following regulations shall apply:
A. Outside of a platted subdivision, or within a platted subdivision with four (4) or less buildable lots, the use of a private road or recorded easement for access to a residential or commercial building may be allowed. For residential purposes, use is limited to four (4) single-family dwellings.
B. The construction used for private roads and easements for residential or commercial access shall be adequate for safety vehicles as per the Fire Code.
C. The easement or private road shall have a minimum right-of- way width of fifty feet (50') and shall be recorded on the property deed and shall be located on property meeting the requirements of section 10-6-7 of this chapter. If the easement or private road serves only two (2) dwellings or less, the width may be reduced to twenty feet (20') with written approval of all landowners served or crossed and the appropriate fire district.
D. Property owners using said easement or private road for access to their property shall acknowledge that County road maintenance or services are not provided and that the County shall not be held liable for any reason concerning said easement or private road.
