After survey and preliminary design, staff will develop design details for needed easements or dedications. These details and are then provided to County Right-of-Way staff, who will reach out to impacted property owners.
For a project with adequate existing right-of-way or few ground topography issues, project easements may be minimal. However, other projects may have more needs. Often during construction, temporary access on a small section of the project may be required during construction (such as tying in a driveway thru a sidewalk to the roadway, filling a ditch line, installing storm pipe, removing a tree, etc.).
Property owners are offered just compensation through the Right-of-Way staff acquisition process for easements (permanent or temporary).
