In implementation, this policy shall set the minimum design standards that the county will follow in the construction or reconstruction of roads and bridges. These criteria shall be based on accepted engineering practices and standards established by the state’s Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration. The County Engineer shall assure the minimum design standards established herein are adhered to in a uniform manner unless, in his or her professional judgment, a deviation from standards is warranted. Minimum design standards are not subject to discretionary enforcement. Any deviations must be documented as unreasonable and or impossible to implement by the County Engineer and/or the County Board of Supervisors.
