the"ECM."
1.2 PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
The purpose of this ECM is to outline Eagle County's minimum acceptable standards for the design,
construction, location, improvement, and maintenance of all land development or any other
proposed construction in Eagle County. These regulations are intended to protect and promote the
public health, safety, and welfare of the residents and visitors of Eagle County and provide the
applicant with choices that will facilitate the development of infrastructure that is well suited to
County needs and is safe, efficient, and economical. These regulations are necessary to protect and
promote public health, safety, and welfare; ensure that public infrastructure meets commonly
accepted engineering standards; and maintain consistency and fairness in development review.
Failure to comply with these regulations may delay project approvals or result in the withholding or
withdrawal of project permits or approvals.
1.3 JURISDICTION
The requirements of this ECM shall apply to all subdividers, developers or other landowners, their
employees, agents or contractors designing and constructing public and/or private infrastructure or
other development within unincorporated areas of Eagle County (hereafter called County), except

CHAPTER 2 EXCAVATION AND GRADING STANDARDS
2.1 PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY
A. Purpose. The purpose of these requirements is to safeguard life, limb, property and the
public welfare by regulating grading on private property.
B. Applicability. No person shall do any grading without first having obtained a grading permit
or an exemption from a grading permit from the Eagle County Engineer.
2.2 EXCAVATION AND GRADING STANDARDS
A. Application. The excavation and grading standards shall be as contained in the current
edition of the International Building Code Appendix J. Grading.The current edition will be as
specified in 3.32, of the Eagle Count
Building Resolution.
B. Amendments. The standards shall also include amendments to the current edition of the

CHAPTER 3 EROSION CONTROL STANDARDS ;..::: C3:1,"C2;
3.1 PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY
A. Purpose. Siltation of rivers and other water bodies is a leading cause of water quality
impairment in rivers and lakes. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the water
quality impacts resulting from land development and other land disturbing activities.
B. Applicability. This section shall apply to any disturbance within one hundred (100)feet of a
stream, all residential development disturbing more than one-half(1/2) acre, all commercial
and industrial development, and all proposed subdivisions and PUD's.
3.2 EROSION CONTROL STANDARDS
The applicant shall minimize erosion of soils from a site that is being developed by complying with
the following standards.
A. Phase Construction. Construction activities, such as clearing, grading, road construction,
and utilities installation shall be phased to minimize soil exposure. Sediment trapping
practices and stream and other water body protection shall be installed and stabilized
before site grading or other construction is initiated.
B. Soil Stabilization. All disturbed areas and soil stockpiles shall be surface roughened,
mulched, or seeded and mulched, or otherwise protected from erosive forces if they will
remain exposed and inactive for periods longer than fourteen (14) days, or if soil will be
exposed during winter, so erosion will not occur during spring snow melt. Disturbed areas
shall be mulched, or seeded and mulched within seven (7) days after final grade is reached.
Grass or straw mulch shall be crimped in place. On slopes steeper than twenty(20) percent,
or within fifty (50) feet of any water body, exposed soils shall be hydromulched or covered
with nets or mats. (am. OS/01/07)
C. Permanent Revegetation. Any disturbed area that is not built upon for one (1) year or
longer shall be revegetated with a perennial, native grass mix. Within one growing season of
project completion, vegetative site coverage shall be equal to or greater than seventy (70)
percent of the disturbed areas.
D. Cut and Fill Slopes. Where cut and fill cannot be avoided, slopes shall be designed for long
term stability. Permanent vegetation should be used as the preferred approach to
stabilization of cut and fill areas where slopes are less than or equal to three to one (3:1). On
steeper cut and fill slopes, stabilization may be attained by utilizing retaining walls, rock
walls, up slope runoff diversions, slope drains or other measures appropriate for the specific
situation. Step retaining walls shall be positioned such that the width of the step is half the
height of the wall. Retaining walls over four (4) feet in height shall be designed by a
professional engineer. Revegetation of the steps is required. In no case shall the soil surface
of a cut and fill slope remain exposed without an approved method of soil stabilization.
E. Construction in or Adjacent to a Water Body. Construction in or directly adjacent to any
water body, such as culvert or bridge installation, shall require bed and bank stabilization.
This may include stream isolation through the use of coffer dams, complete containment of
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 3 Page 10
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121C8A27C4
the stream in the area of the disturbance, stream crossing structures, or limits on the dates
when in-stream work can be performed.
F. Channels and Ditches. New or re-routed irrigation ditches, receiving channels and streams
shall be protected so that flows from the site do not cause erosion and flooding.
G. Stormwater Runoff. Stormwater runoff flows shall be managed to minimize erosion and
sediment transport. Concentrated flows shall be diverted away from disturbed slopes. The
length and steepness of disturbed slopes shall be minimized, or slope drains shall be used.
H. Sediment and Mud Control. Sediment and mud shall be prevented from leaving the
construction site by immediate placement of street base or construction of mud pads in
access routes. Mud pads shall be at least fifty (50) feet in length and comprised of angular
rock and/or a wheel washing facility. Adjacent properties shall be protected by using
sediment fences, straw bales, and silt traps. Storm sewer inlets shall be protected from entry
of sediment-laden water.
I. Sediment Detention. When the contributing drainage area, including off-site area, is

CHAPTER 6 DRAINAGE STANDARDS
6.1 PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY
A. Purpose. Land development, particularly increased impervious surface area, has been
shown to degrade water quality and alter natural hydrology. The standards of this section
are intended to minimize the likelihood and extent of flooding and environmental damage
from uncontrolled urban runoff.
B. Applicability. These standards shall apply to any commercial or industrial development, any
proposed subdivision or PUD, proposed development within one hundred (100) feet of a
water body, and to any other development creating ten thousand (10,000) square feet or
more of impervious surface area.
6.2 STANDARDS
Stormwater runoff from all proposed development shall be managed so as to comply with the
following standards: (A+) No Direct Discharge; (Be) Minimize Directly-Connected Impervious Areas;
(C3) Detain and Treat Run-off; (D4) Conveyance of 100-year Storm Flow; and;(Es) Other Techniques.
T-�
A. No Direct Discharge. Stormwater discharge shall comply with one (1) of the following
management options:
1. Vegetated Surface. Sheetflow across at least one hundred (100) feet of stable,
vegetated surface prior to discharge to any natural water body, or flow in one hundred
(100)feet of non-erosive grass channels;
2. On Site Treatment. On-site treatment of stormwater by use of best management
practices designed to detain and infiltrate the runoff and approved as part of the
Stormwater Control Plan prior to discharge to any natural water body; or
3. Structure. Discharge to a stormwater conveyance structure, designed to accommodate
the projected additional flows from the proposed project, with treatment by a best
management practice prior to discharge into any natural water body.
B. Minimize Directly-Connected Impervious Areas. The extent of directly-connected
impervious areas shall be minimized by having runoff from fifty(50) percent of all developed
impervious surfaces (rooftops, parking lots, sidewalks, etc.) drain over grass buffer strips
before reaching stormwater conveyance systems. The fifty(50) percent requirement may be
reduced if the outflow from the grass filter strip is directed to other stormwater treatment
methods.
1. Examples. Examples of other potential techniques to be used in conjunction with grass
buffer strips are: infiltration devices; constructed wetlands; sand filters; replacing curb
and gutter systems with low velocity grass lined swales; and, over-sizing swales, ditches
and culvert crossing (such as driveway intersections) to provide additional detention
storage.
2. Slope. The maximum allowable slope for developed land surfaces that drain to grass
buffer strips is ten (10) percent. The slope of the vegetative buffer strip itself should be
no greater than five (5) percent and should be of a uniform gradient to insure evenly
distributed sheet flows. Terracing and retaining wall construction may be required if
necessary to maintain allowable slopes.
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 6 Page 16
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
3. Formula. The design width, or distance along the sheet flow direction, shall be the
greater of the following:
width = 8.0 feet
0.2 L
Where L equals the length of the flow path of the sheet flow over the upstream
impervious surface.
C. Detain and Treat Run-off. Permanent stormwater detention facilities shall be designed to:
(1 a) treat stormwater for pollutant removal; (2{I) reduce peak flows to historic levels and
minimize extreme flooding; and, (3e) prevent erosion of downstream channels. Detention
facilities shall be designed to comply with the following standards(e ):
1. Pollutant Removal. Removal of pollutants shall be accomplished by providing ninety
(90) percent trap efficiency for particles 0.005 mm in diameter or larger from the two(2)
year, twenty-four (24) hour storm. For drainage from parking lots, vehicle maintenance
facilities, or other areas with extensive vehicular use, this standard may require the use
of a sand and oil grease trap or similar practice (e.g., constructed wetland, extended
detention with no initial release, etc.).
2. Peak Flow Reduction. Peak flow reduction shall be accomplished by limiting detention
pond release rates to historic (undeveloped) peak flows for all storms up to and
including the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour design storm. In determining
runoff rates, the entire area contributing runoff must be considered, including any
off-site contribution. Off-site contributions shall be based on the fully developed
potential based upon proposed land uses. To minimize the threat of major property
damage or loss of life, all permanent stormwater detention facilities must provide for the
safe passage of the one hundred (100)year, twenty-four(24) hour storm event.
3. Downstream Channels. Channels downstream from the discharge of stormwater shall
be protected from increased channel scour, bank instability, and erosion and
sedimentation from the twenty-five (25) year design storm. The use of natural drainage
ways as receiving streams is required unless it can be shown that no alternatives to
changing natural drainage locations exist.
D. Conveyance of 100-year Storm Flow. All applications for any land development listed in
Section —4-65&,46.1.B,7 Applicability, shall include design provisions for the overland
conveyance of the post development 100-year, twenty-four (24) hour storm flows through
the site without damage to any public or private property.
E. Other Techniques. Other techniques, not specifically identified, may be considered for
implementation subject to the approval of the County Engineer. (orig. 01/04/OS)
6.3 STORMWATER CONTROL PLAN
An applicant for any development listed in Section 6.14-0 0 ,4.B7, Applicability, shall submit a
stormwater control plan prepared by a qualified professional engineer registered in the State of
Colorado. The plan shall contain the applicable information as listed in Section 3.31 Ca,- C., Erosion
and Sediment Control Plan, and the following additional information:
A. Calculations. Hydrologic, hydraulic and all other calculations used to size and design
drainage facilities and/or structural best management practices.

CHAPTER 8 ROADWAY STANDARDS
8.1 CONSISTENCY WITH OTHER STANDARDS
These Roadway Standards are generally consistent with the recommendations of the American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and those of the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE). These standards also reflect the guidelines and recommendations of
the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), Transportation Research Board (TRB), United
States Forest Service (USFS), National Park Service (NPS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM),
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and others. If there is a difference in the
standards set forth in this Chapterie+n and those referenced in any manual referenced in this
Chapterrisiert, then the standards set forth in this ChapterDivisiepr shall govern.
A. Conformance with Colorado Highway Commission Standards. C.R.S. §1 43-2-114 states
that the general standards for county primary roads shall be those adopted by the
Transportation Commission for the state highway system for the corresponding class of
county road in the state highway system. The Colorado Highway Commission adopted and
approved said standards by Resolution No. 2297-D on June 20, 1991. The 1991 Standard
Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction identified in that Resolution incorporates the
1990 Roadway Design Manual, published by CDOT, and also incorporates the geometric
design standards of AASHTO. The County road improvement standards that are contained
herein are intended to be in conformance with AASHTO.
1. All guardrail that is to be constructed within Eagle County rights of way must conform to
the current Colorado Department of Transportation Standards and Specifications for
Road and Bridge Design and the Standard Plans M&S Standards. '. 02);
2. U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration Metric Standard
Steel Backed Guardrail Type A and B, designated as M617-60 and M617-61, may be
installed on roads which are maintained by private entities orb*rs metro districts-
(orig 3/12/02)
B. Conformance With 1990 Road Design Manual. The County road improvement standards
presented herein are intended to apply to roadways having or projected to have traffic
volumes of three thousand (3,000)vehicles per day or less.
1. Roads Having Greater Volumes. The design of any roadway having, or projected to
have, a volume of traffic greater than three thousand (3,000)vehicles per day shall be in
compliance with the 1990 Roadway Design Manual, Sections 100 through 1000, inclusive.
The design for such roadways shall also consider such other pertinent factors as are
identified by the County Engineer, including, but not necessarily limited to, greater
setbacks for noise buffering; climbing lanes; paved shoulders for ease of maintenance,
safety and for non-motorized use for bicycles and pedestrians; acceleration/deceleration
turn lanes; greater access control to protect the roadway's carrying capacity; and curve
widening based on truck traffic.
2. Local Roads. Local roads are defined in the 1990 Roadway Design Manual as roads
primarily for access to a residence, business, or abutting property. Their design is
addressed in Section 1100 of the Design Manual. The County improvement standards
also accommodate lesser design criteria. The alternate standards for off system and low
volume roads are in conformance with the minimum criteria presented in AASHTO's
1994 A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets. The alternate standards are
envisioned to cover both construction and reconstruction of roads and to recognize the
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO

importance of sight distance as a safety requirement in the construction or
reconstruction of roads.
8.2 FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATIONS UNDER ISTEA
The functional classifications contained herein are meant to complement and supplement the
Highway Functional Classifications used by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Under the
Intermodal Surface and Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), enacted in 1991, all higher category
roads in the United States were classified. In Eagle County the classifications under ISTEA are as
follows:
A. Principal Arterials, Interstate. 1-70 is the only principal interstate arterial in
unincorporated Eagle County.
B. Principal Arterials, Other Freeways or Expressways. There are no freeways or
expressways in unincorporated Eagle County.
C. Other Principal Arterials. Highway 82 is the only other principal arterial in unincorporated
Eagle County.
D. Minor Arterials. Highway 24 and Highway 131 are the only minor arterials in
unincorporated Eagle County.
E. Major Collectors. The major collectors in unincorporated Eagle County are Highway 6,
Brush Creek Road, Cottonwood Pass Road including Gypsum Creek Road connecting to
Highway 6 in Gypsum, Fryingpan Road and Trough Road.
F. Minor Collectors. The minor collectors in unincorporated Eagle County are Colorado River
Road, Cooley Mesa Road, Deep Creek Road, El Jebel Road/Upper Cattle Creek Road, Gypsum
Creek Road, Homestake Road, and Sweetwater Road.
G. Local Roads.All other roads in unincorporated Eagle County are classified as local roads.
8.3 FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATIONS BY COUNTY
In addition to the road classifications under ISTEA, Eagle County classifies other roads in the county
as Major and Minor Collector Roads, both Rural and Urban, due to their functional characteristics as
defined by AASHTO. The user of these Improvement Standards may, therefore, find a dual
classification for some Eagle County roads. For administrative and design purposes, roads shall be
classified as shown in Classification of Roads in Eagle County. The current classification is attached
hereto as Appendix A, Road Classifications,E and will be replaced as the classification is amended
from time-to-time by the County Engineer. Roads within the jurisdiction of unincorporated Eagle
County are classified as follows:-Fe109-94499)
A. Rural Major Collectors. Rural major collectors serve as inter-county and intra-county routes
in Resource zone districts that handle traffic volumes of up to three thousand (3,000)
vehicles per day and more as they pass through urban and suburban areas. The lengths of
such roads are generally significant in extent. Surfaces can be either gravel or pavement, as
dictated by traffic volumes. Design and posted speeds range from thirty (30) to sixty (60)
mph. On-street parking on such roads is prohibited and off-street parking must be
specifically provided for.Access is regulated and intersection spacing is at least one-half(0.5)
mile.Traffic noise from such roads on adjacent uses may be mitigated.
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 27
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121C8A27C4
B. Rural Minor Collectors. Rural minor collectors serve as intra-county roads of moderate
length connecting residential areas to commercial and industrial areas, and to major
collectors in Resource zone districts that handle traffic volumes up to four hundred (400)
vehicles per day. They may also traverse considerable distance. Design and posted speeds
range from twenty (20) to forty (40) mph, depending upon terrain. Surfaces are treated
gravel or pavement, depending on traffic volumes. Access to adjacent properties is limited
and may require turn lanes, depending on traffic volumes. Intersection spacing ranges from
six hundred (600) feet when design speeds are at or above thirty-five (35) mph, to three
hundred (300) feet at design speeds below thirty-five (35) mph. On-street parking on such
roads is prohibited and off-street parking must be specifically provided for.
C. Rural Access Roads. Rural access roads are country in nature, access ranch areas or public
lands in Resource zone districts that handle a very low volume of traffic (less than fifty [50]
vehicles per day) on gravel or dirt surface roads. Design and posted speeds range from
fifteen (15) to twenty-five (25) mph, depending upon terrain. Though tangent sections are
narrow, curves are widened generously to accommodate recreational vehicles, particularly if
they are towing another vehicle, or to accommodate logging trucks. Turnouts are provided
as terrain permits, however, the maximum spacing on turnouts should not exceed one-half
(0.5) mile.
D. Rural Residential Roads. Rural residential roads generally serve development that has not
been clustered in the Resource Limited (RL),Agricultural Residential (AR), Agricultural Limited
(AL), and Rural Residential (RR)zone districts. Rural residential roads include rural residential
collector roads and internal rural residential roads.
1. Rural Residential Collector Roads. Rural residential collector roads are generally
moderate in length (less than four [4] miles) and handle traffic volumes of less than
3,000 vehicles per day. These roads serve as a transition between higher classification
roads and the associated residential area. Direct lot access is generally discouraged, and
requires specific approval by the County Engineer. Design and posted speeds are
generally terrain dependent and relatively low, in the range of twenty-five (25) to
thirty-five (35) mph.
2. Internal Rural Residential Roads. Internal rural residential roads generally have lot
frontages of greater than two hundred (200) feet and handle traffic volume of less than
two hundred-fifty (250) vehicles per day. Paved roads with side ditches and culverts
generally serve well for these roads. Paths or sidewalks are not generally provided and
on street parking is prohibited. Design speeds range from twenty(20)to thirty(30) mph.
E. Suburban Residential Roads. Suburban residential roads serve development that has not
been clustered in the Residential Suburban Low Density (RSL) and Residential Suburban
Medium Density (RSM) zone districts. Suburban residential roads include suburban
residential collector roads and internal suburban residential roads.
1. Suburban Residential Collectors. Suburban residential collectors are generally short in
length (less than one (1) mile) and handle traffic volumes of less than three thousand
(3,000) vehicles per day. Design speeds vary from twenty (20) to thirty (30) mph,
dependent upon terrain, and direct residential lot access is prohibited. Extensive
berming and planting are generally necessary along these roads to provide a buffer
between traffic and residents. Suburban residential collectors shall have detached paths
and transit facilities may be required as part of the street system. Attached paths are
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 28
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
permitted where terrain mandates such designs. On street parking shall be prohibited.
Internal
2. Suburban Residential Roads. Internal suburban residential roads are shorts roads, with
lengths of less than one-half (0.5) mile road whose segments are encouraged to be
discontinuous so the internal roads do not function as collectors. They have design and
posted speeds between twenty (20) and thirty (30) mph. Lot frontages are generally
between seventy-five (75) feet and one hundred-twenty-five(125)feet. Paved roads with
curb and gutter and sidewalks or an extensive paved path system are required.
Intersection spacing may range down to three hundred (300)feet.
F. Urban Residential Roads. Urban residential roads are generally associated with residential
developments and those portions of Planned Unit Development (PUD) zone districts having
an urban density.-(ewe
1. Urban Residential Collectors. Urban residential collectors are generally very short in
length (less than one half [0.5] mile) and handle traffic volumes of less than three
thousand (3,000) vehicles per day. They serve to feed traffic into the heart of the
associated residential area and serve as a section of road for turn lanes and vehicle
stacking when exiting the area. Direct access onto such roads is prohibited. Design and
posted speeds vary from twenty (20) to thirty (30) mph. Berming and planting with
detached sidewalks and curb and gutter shall be required.
2. Internal Urban Residential Roads. Internal urban residential roads are very short in
length (less than one half [0.5] mile) and handle traffic volumes of less than seven
hundred-fifty (750) vehicles per day. The segments of these roads are encouraged to be
discontinuous so they do not function as collectors. These roads are paved with curb and
gutter and detached sidewalks are required (paths are not an acceptable substitute).
Off-street parking shall be provided and on-street parking shall be prohibited. Transit
facilities are required as part of the street system.
G. Commercial Roads. Commercial roads serve Commercial Limited (CL) and Commercial
General (CG) zoning. Curb and gutter and attached or detached sidewalks are required.
Design speed would be twenty-five (25) mph. Off-street parking is typically required,
however, on-street parking may instead be appropriate where there are lower traffic
volumes. Transit facilities are required as part of the street system, as are street lighting and
design features that accommodate pedestrians. The design of commercial roads shall
consider intersection sight distance, separation of driveways from intersections, the need for
intersection turn lanes, the special needs of single and multi-unit delivery trucks and general
traffic movement efficiencies.
H. Industrial Roads. Industrial roads serve Industrial (I) zoning. Curb and gutter and attached
or detached sidewalks are required, as is off-street parking. Design speed is twenty-five (25)
mph. The design of industrial roads shall also consider the special needs of single and
multi-unit truck operations and provide intersection and driveway sight distances that are
large to allow for the greater time it takes these trucks to enter a roadway.
I. Urban Cul-de-sacs. Urban cul-de-sacs are short, dead-endciccid end roads
intended to serve residential or commercial developments in areas serviced by centralized
domestic water delivery systems managed by a municipal or special operating district. For
the purpose of these regulations, and pursuant to Section 8.9.A.81 C20.1.1.h., Dual Access,
properties located on an urban cul-de-sac do not require dual or secondary emergency
access.
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY,COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 29
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
1. Maximum Length or Maximum Number of Residential Units. In general, the
maximum length of an urban cul-de-sac shall be 1,000 feet. In larger lot suburban
settings the maximum length rule may be interchanged with a provision that allows no
more than twelve (12) units on each side of the street for a total of twenty five (25)
contiguous residential units per road. The Local Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction shall
provide a recommendation regarding the design of urban cul-de-sacs for any new
development or redevelopmentifieelitt proposal. Based on the number of units
to be served, the wildfire hazard, the placement of fire hydrants and the capacity and
pressure of the local water system, it may be determined by the Local Fire Authority
Having Jurisdiction that the 1000 foot length or the maximum of 25 dwelling units is
excessive.
2. Road Design Standards. The physical characteristics of any urban cul-de-sac road shall
be based on applicable provisions of Section 8.31 C20.D., Roadway Standards, Functional
Classification By County, unless otherwise determined appropriate by the County
Engineer.
3. Turnarounds at Road End. All urban cul-de-sacs shall terminate in a circular, "T" or "L"
type turnaround constructed in accordance with Section 8.3.K1 C20.D.11., Vehicle
• Turnarounds.
4. Non-motorized Pedestrian Links. When urban cul-de-sacs are incorporated in a
residential or commercial development, applicants are encouraged to provide
non-motorized links between cul-de-sacs, which may be credited towards any applicable
requirements for open space or trails for the development.
J. Rural Cul-de-sacs. Rural cul-de-sacs are dead end roads longer than 1000 feet
in length that serve residential or commercial uses in areas where dual or secondary
emergency access is not possible, and/or where centralized domestic water delivery is not
available. As a matter of public safety, all reasonable effort shall be made to avoid the use of
rural cul-de-sacs.
1. Driveways Exempt. Driveways that serve three (3)or fewer residential units shall not be
considered rural cul-de-sacs, but shall be required to conform to Section 8.9.11 C20.1.9,
Access Approaches and Driveways.
2. Year-round Access Required. Rural cul-de-sacs will only be considered in those cases
where year-round access can be assured by virtue of minimum grades and flatter
curvature.
3. Road Design Standards. The physical characteristics of any rural cul-de-sac road shall
be based on applicable provisions of Section 8.31 C20.D., Roadway Standard3, Functional
Classification By County, unless otherwise determined appropriate by the County
Engineer.
4. Emergency Vehicle Turnaround Areas. Emergency vehicle turnaround areas shall be
required on rural cul-de-sacs at the initial 1000 foot mark and at 1000 foot intervals for
the remaining length of the road. The Local Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction may
recommend an alternative spacing plan for turnaround areas. The turnaround shall be
constructed in accordance with Section 8.3.K1 C20.D.11,Vehicle Turnarounds.

Chapter 8 Page 30
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
5. Turnarounds at Road End. All rural cul-de-sac roads shall terminate in a circular, "T"or
"L" type turnaround constructed in accordance with Section 8.3.K1 C20.D.11., Vehicle
Turnarounds.
6. Water Service. Proposals for residential or commercial development accessed by rural
cul-de-sacs shall provide at least one of the following:
i. An on-site fire fighting water supply source acceptable to the Local Fire Authority
Having Jurisdiction; or
ii. Monitored sprinkler systems in all residential and commercial buildings as
determined appropriate by the Local Building Official and the Local Fire Authority
Having Jurisdiction; or
iii. A combination of items (1) and (2) as determined appropriate by the Local Building
Official and the Local Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction.
7. Variance Required Any proposal for development that requires access by a Rural
Cul-de-sac shall be required to obtain a variance from Section 8.9.A.84 C20.1.1.h., Dual
Access as provided herein. The Board of County Commissioners may, at their discretion,
grant a variance subject to the provisions of Section 8.9.A.84 C20.1.1.h., Dual Access and
ECLUR Section 5-260.G-, Variance from Improvement Standards or, in the event that a
Planned Unit Development is proposed, subject to the provisions of ECLUR Section
5-240.F.3.e.(8), Improvements.
K. Vehicle Turnarounds.
1. Preferred Design. Circular offset turnarounds are preferred, as illustrated in Exhibit 5-8
of A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS AND STREETS, 2001, published by
AASHTO. Cul-de-sacs may also terminate in a "T" or"L" shaped turnaround as illustrated
in the above-referenced Exhibit 5-8.
2. Minimum Standards for Radii. Cul-de-sacs serving less than ten (10) residential units
shall have a minimum thirty (30) foot radius bulb at the end. Cul-de-sacs serving ten (10)
or more residential units shall have a minimum forty (40) foot radius bulb at the end.
These minimum bulb radii presume the cul-de-sac is bordered by mountable curb or a
four foot aggregate base course shoulder. In the event that the cul-de-sac is bordered by
a barrier curb, then five (5)feet shall be added to the previously stated minimum radii.
3. Snow Storage. Easements or open space areas of appropriate size to provide adequate
snow storage, as determined by the Eagle County Engineer, shall be located immediately
adjacent to vehicle turnarounds.
4. Temporary Cul-De-Sacs and Turnarounds. Temporary cul-de-sacs or turnarounds may
serve any classification of road, as determined by the County Engineer, to accommodate
continuation of the road to adjoining properties when they are developed. These
temporary cul-de-sacs or turnarounds must accommodate WB-12 design vehicles, and
must be clearly identified as dead end streets through proper signage, in accordance
with the MUTCD. The Local Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction shall provide a
recommendation regarding the use of temporary cul-de-sacs or turnaround.

8.4 TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY
Proposed developments that are expected to generate more than four hundred (400) vehicle trips
per day shall conduct a traffic impact analysis to determine the need for additional improvements
on roadways affected by the proposed development.
A. Trip Generation Rates. The basis for projected volumes of traffic shall be the trip
generation rates for various land use categories found in the latest edition of TRIP
GENERATION, published by ITE.
B. Background Traffic Data Not Available. If site specific information on background traffic
for the study area is not available, considering existing zoning, then the Twenty (20) Year
Factor for the closest segment of State Highway published by CDOT, Division of
Transportation Development, Information Management Branch, shall be used to predict
background traffic to be factored into the traffic analysis. In certain instances it may be
necessary to use a combination of existing zoning and CDOT's Twenty(20)Year Factor.
C. Preparation of Analysis. The traffic analysis shall be prepared using industry accepted
standards and practices. It shall be prepared by a Professional Engineer competent in the
field of transportation engineering, and shall include such information as current and
projected background traffic volumes, projected development traffic volumes, calculated
capacity and level of service of existing and proposed roadways and intersections affected
by the development, including warrants for turn lanes, channelization and signalization.
8.5 DESIGN TRAFFIC VOLUME AND DESIGN PERIOD
Key factors in the classification and design of any roadway are the amount (and type) of traffic that
the roadway is expected to carry and the time period for forecasting traffic volumes on the roadway.
A. Design Traffic Volume. Design traffic volume shall be measured as annual average daily
traffic (AADT), except for traffic volumes in excess of four hundred (400) AADT, which shall
use the peak hour design hourly volume(DHV)as the basis for the design period.
B. Design Period. The design period for the design of new and upgraded roadways shall be
twenty(20)years from the forecasted date of completion of the project.
8.6 LEVEL OF SERVICE
Roadways in unincorporated Eagle County shall function at Level of Service "C" or better.
Intersections, both signalized and unsignalized_:nr4tgnDli_c', in unincorporated Eagle County shall
function at Level of Service "D" or better. For purposes of this evaluation, these Levels of Service
shall be as defined in the latest edition of the HIGHWAY CAPACITY MANUAL, published by the
Transportation Research Board. The methodology for computing the Level of Service shall be as
specified in the latest edition of the HIGHWAY CAPACITY MANUAL.
8.7 RIGHT-OF-WAY WIDTH
Minimum right-of-way widths for all classifications of roadways in Eagle County are shown in
Appendix BTabl ;-reL2-I-, Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards. Sufficient
right-of-way shall be provided to contain: travel lanes or driving surfaces; curb and gutter, when
required; shoulders, drainage side ditches and other structures, when curb and gutter is not
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 32
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
required; provisions for snow storage, particularly at higher elevations; utilities; facilities for bicycles
and pedestrians, when required; cut and fill slopes and/or retaining walls; and, as applicable, future
improvements of the roadway.
A. Additional Right-of-Way for Rolling and Mountainous Terrain. The right-of-way widths
set forth in Appendix Bye-4-6ida-+, Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And Design
Standards; are the minimum necessary to accommodate roadway construction on level
terrain. Additional right-of-way shall be provided to accommodate cuts and fills in rolling and
mountainous terrain, considering that the roadway and associated slopes are a structure
and should be structurally independent of development on adjacent property. The
additional right-of-way for cuts and fills and their buffers may be in the form of a dedicated
roadway maintenance easement.
8.8 SIGHT DISTANCE
A. Setbacks. Setbacks for structures, as established in these Land Use Regulations, shall be
measured from the outside edge of the roadway maintenance easement.
B. Compliance With AASHTO Manual. In the design and construction or reconstruction of
roadways in unincorporated Eagle County, sight distance shall be provided that complies
with the latest edition of A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS AND STREETS, Chapter
III, published by AASHTO. Roadways that operate at functional classifications higher than
residential or other low speed urban streets shall also provide sufficient sight distance to
allow drivers to occupy the opposing traffic lane while passing slower vehicles without
hazard to themselves or others.
C. Design Considerations. The greatest impact of providing sufficient sight distance will likely
be on the vertical alignment of the roadway. However, horizontal alignment may also be
affected by requiring flatter curves, in order to avoid sight obstructions due to terrain,
vegetation, or man made features. Roadway design shall take into account the following
design considerations:
1. Sight Distance Restrictions. Where an object off the roadway and within the
right-of-way such as a guardrail, cut slope, or natural growth restricts sight distance, the
minimum radius of horizontal curvature shall be determined by the stopping sight
distance.
2. No Sight Distance Restrictions. Where there is no sight distance restriction within the
right-of-way, the right-of-way line shall be considered to be the restriction.The necessary
stopping sight distance on such horizontal curves may be determined with the aid of
Appendix D , Stopping Sight Distance On Horizontal Curves. When the
design speed and clear distance (M) are known, this figure also provides the minimum
centerline radius that satisfies these conditions.
3. Sight Distance Restrictions At End of Downgrades. Where sight distance restrictions
occur at the end of downgrades, an increase shall be made in the stopping sight distance
in accordance with the values listed in the latest edition of A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC •
DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS AND STREETS, Chapter III, Table 111-2, published by AASHTO.
4. Sight Distance For Passing. Sight distance adequate for passing should be encountered
frequently, at regular intervals. On roadways with high volumes, frequent and long
passing sections are essential. On roadways with intermediate to low volumes, the need
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY,COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 33
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
is not as great, but passing sections are still an important element for efficiency and
safety. Passing sight distance for upgrades shall be greater than the derived minimum.
5. Meeting Sight Distance. Meeting sight distance is the sum of the opposing stopping
sight distances, or two (2) times the values listed for the various design speeds. Meeting
sight distance is encouraged on narrow, low volume roads.
8.9 GEOMETRIC STANDARDS
All roads within unincorporated Eagle County, whether publicly or privately maintained, shall
conform to the design standards and requirements shown in Appendix B , Summary of
Environmental, Geometric and Design Standards.
A. Horizontal Alignment. The following special considerations for horizontal alignment shall
apply to the design and construction or reconstruction of roadways in Eagle County:
1. Compound Curves. The use of compound curves in proposed alignments is strongly
discouraged, due to the potential deception they offer motorists, particularly when
traveling from the larger to the smaller radii.
i. Standards When Compound Curves Are Necessary. If compound curves must be
used to allow the roadway to better fit the existing terrain, then the ratio of the
flatter radius to the sharper radius shall not exceed 1.5:1. Where feasible, a smaller
difference in radii should be used; a desirable maximum ratio is 1.75:1. At
intersections where motorists accept more rapid changes in design and speed, the
radius of the sharper arc can be as high as a ratio of 2:1.
ii. Length. Curves that are compounded should not be too short or their effect in
enabling change from tangent or flat-curve to sharp-curve will be lost.
2. Reversal of Alignment. Any abrupt reversal in alignment should be avoided. Such a
change makes it difficult for a driver to keep within his own lane. It is difficult to
superelevate both curves adequately, and hazardous and erratic operation of the vehicle
may result.
i. Suitable Design. A reversal in alignment can be designed suitably by including a
sufficient length of tangent between the two (2) curves for superelevation runoff, or
preferably, an equivalent length with spiral curves. The distance between reverse
curves should be the sum of the superelevation runoff lengths and the tangent
runout lengths.
ii. Sufficient Distance Not Available. If sufficient distance is not available to permit
the tangent runout lengths to return to normal crown section, there is a long length
where the edges of pavement and centerline are at the same elevation and poor
transverse drainage can be expected. In this case, the tangent runouts may be
eliminated and the superelevation runoffs joined, thus providing one (1)
instantaneous level section.
iii. Tangent Separation Lengths. Desirable and acceptable tangent separation lengths
are shown in Appendix B, , Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And
Design Standards. A minimum tangent of fifty(50)feet shall be provided between all
horizontal curves to facilitate steering and control.
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY,COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 34
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
3. Curves. The "broken-back" or "flat-back" arrangement of curves (having a short tangent
between two curves in the same direction) should be avoided because most drivers do
not expect succeeding curves to be in the same direction and because in some cases the
"broken-back" alignment will not be pleasing in appearance. Curves will typically not be
considered to be in a "broken-back" arrangement when the connecting tangent is of
considerable length.
4. Simple and Spiral Curves. Appendix E,F'ou _ " E2^_ 1t2, Simple Curve, Appendix F,ri ure-
1 C20 #3, Spiraled Curve, and Appendix G, 4, Relationship, Simple vs Spiral
Curve found in the Appendices hereafter, illustrate simple and spiral curves, their
derivation and function.
5. Travel Lane Widening. To compensate for off-tracking as a vehicle follows a curve (rear
wheels tracking inside the front wheels), travel lane widening shall be provided on
certain classifications of roadway.
i. Standards. Travel lane widening shall occur on the inside edge of the curve only,
with the inside shoulder "kicked" out until a minimum of three (3)feet of shoulder is
left. The amount of travel lane widening to be provided is shown in Appendix C,-
Lane Widening On Curves.
ii. Example. For example, if the required width of shoulder is six(6)feet, up to three(3)
of the six (6) feet may be used for inside edge widening. In this example, if four (4)
feet of widening is required the total shoulder width would be seven (7) feet. The
gravel shoulder available for "cutting the curve" becomes less and encourages traffic
to stay on the pavement, and the transition extends over the same length as the
superelevation runoff.
6. Switchbacks. Switchbacks are generally not considered a good roadway design solution,
but may be the only alternative for gaining elevation in mountainous terrain.
i. Minimum Tangent Separation. When switchbacks must be used, each switchback
shall have a tangent separation of not less than two (2)times the minimum stopping
sight distance from the last or next switchback, adjusted for grade in accordance
with the latest edition of AASSHTO's A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS
AND STREETS, Chapter III, Table III-2., Effect of grade on stopping sight distance - wet
conditions. This is especially important on hillsides, on slopes steeper than twenty
(20) percent, and where visually, switchbacks will create a major impact.
ii. Direct Lot Access. Direct lot access is not permitted on the tangent sections
between switchbacks that are separated by the minimum distance outlined above.
To gain lot access on the tangent section separating the switchbacks there must be
the required minimum sight distance from intersecting streets and driveways from
both switchbacks, as shown in Appendix B, Summary Of
Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards.
iii. Lane Widening. Lane widening for switchback curves shall reflect AASHTO Design
and Traffic Condition III-C. The minimum allowable centerline radius for switchback
curves is shown in Appendix B, ., Summary Of Environmental,
Geometric And Design Standards. The eighty (80) foot minimum radius is based on
the recommendations of the Model Regulations For Protecting People and Homes From
Wildfire in Subdivisions and Developments promulgated by the Colorado State Forest
Service. A review of multiple-unit vehicle turning radii and pavement width
occupation shows that an eighty (80) foot radius is the minimum radius a large

vehicle can make and yet not occupy more than its own lane, even with travel lane
widening on the inside of curves.
7. Street Pattern.The street pattern in the proposed development shall generally conform
to any adopted County master plan for future development of the adjoining areas.
Proposed streets or roadways within three (3) miles of any incorporated municipality
shall conform to the street system and standards or official street plan of said
incorporated municipality.
i. Continuity of Alignment. Where appropriate to the design, the streets shall be
continuous and in alignment with the existing platted streets with which they are to
connect.
ii. Extend to Boundary Lines. Proposed streets shall be extended to the boundary
lines of adjacent land, if the applicable adopted County Master Plan indicates the
adjacent land will be suitable for development, unless the extension is prevented by
topography or other physical conditions.
8. Dual Access. With the exception of properties proposed to be served from the public
roadway system by driveways or by urban cul-de-sacs, two (2) points of ingress/egress to
the public roadway system shall be provided, such that in the event a road within the
subdivision becomes impassable, all properties will continue to have access to a public
roadway system. Both points of access should be open and available for daily use. In the
event that this is not possible, and at a minimum, there shall be provided a secondary
emergency point of ingress/egress equipped with emergency breakaway barriers
capable of accommodating emergency response vehicles commonly operated by the
Local Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction for all new development or redevelopment.
Secondary emergency access points must be kept free of obstruction, and must be
maintained to assure year round use. Depending upon the length of the road, the
wildfire hazard rating, the number of units proposed, the topography and the
recommendation of the Local Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction, the Board of County
Commissioners may, at their discretion, grant a variance from this required
improvement standard.-Fs, BC)
B. Vertical Alignment. The following special considerations for vertical alignment shall apply
to the design and construction or reconstruction of roadways in Eagle County:
1. Terrain Classification.Terrain in Eagle County can be characterized within one (1) of the
following three(3) categories:
i. Level Terrain. Level terrain is that condition where roadway sight distances, as
governed by both horizontal and vertical restrictions, are generally long or could be
made so without construction difficulty or major expense. The average natural cross
slopes on level terrain are less than eight(8) percent.
ii. Rolling Terrain. Rolling terrain is that condition where the natural slopes
consistently rise above and fall below the roadway grade and where occasional steep
slopes offer some restriction to normal horizontal and vertical roadway alignment.
The average natural cross slopes on rolling terrain are between eight(8) percent and
fifteen (15) percent.
iii. Mountainous Terrain. Mountainous terrain is that condition where longitudinal and
transverse changes in the elevation with respect to the roadway are abrupt and
where benching and side hill excavation are frequently required to obtain acceptable
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 36
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
horizontal and vertical alignment. The average natural cross slopes on mountainous
terrain are greater than fifteen (15) percent.
iv. Combination of Terrain Types. A parcel may contain all or any combination of
these terrain types. Terrain that has varying characteristics shall be classified within
the above categories, and shall provide a transition in design speed between each
category in five (5) mph increments, spaced seven hundred-fifty(750)feet apart.Ten
(10) mph increments may be considered for approval by the County Engineer upon
the applicant's demonstration that circumstances warrant. Part of this determination
shall be based on the review of cross sections and cost estimates for both cases
prepared by the applicant's engineer.
2. Maximum Grade. The maximum grade for each classification of roadway in Eagle
County is illustrated in Appendix B, Summary Of Environmental,
Geometric And Design Standards.
i. Ability to Negotiate Grade. A maximum grade of eight (8) percent is generally
negotiable under year-round conditions by two (2) wheel drive vehicles with mud
and snow tires where stopping and starting are not required. Steeper grades may
require four (4) wheel drive and/or studded mud and snow tires under winter snow •
and ice conditions.
ii. Maximum Grade in Suburban and Urban Areas. A maximum grade of six (6)
percent is more appropriate for suburban and urban areas, where the frequency of
stopping and starting is increased.
iii. Special Design Considerations. Special design considerations regarding grades are
required for intersections and driveway approaches and on switchback curves (see
subsectionsjub 3cctio►n 2. j 8.9,4,D-, Intersections,_4 020 j 8.9.14,, Access
Approaches and Driveways, and-4-6E1,9i 8.9.A.6, Switchbacks).
iv. Low Volume Roadways. On low volume roadways (AADT of four hundred [400]
vehicles or less) grades may be increased to one hundred-fifty (150) percent of the
stated desirable values in Appendix B ., Summary Of Environmental,
Geometric And Design Standards, for a tangent distance not to exceed five hundred
(500) feet on southern facing slopes only, subject to the approval of the County
Engineer. There shall be no access approaches in the segment with the increased
grade.
3. Vertical Curves. Vertical curves shall conform to the criteria set forth in the latest
edition of A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS AND STREETS, Chapter III,
published by AASHTO.
i. Grade Breaks. The use of grade breaks, in lieu of vertical curves, is not encouraged.
However, if a grade break is necessary and the algebraic difference in grade does not
exceed four-tenths (0.4) percent when curb and gutter is used, the grade break will
be permitted, except at intersections, where algebraic differences in grade of
eight-tenths (0.8) percent will be permitted to facilitate the warping of the side street
to meet the through street.
ii. Rural Roads. On rural roads not bordered by curb and gutter,vertical curves are not
required when the algebraic difference in grade is one(1) percent or less.
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 37
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
iii. Sag Vertical Curves. The minimum grade within a sag (sump) vertical curve is
one-half (0.5) percent. This will require manual calculations and labeling at the low
point of the sag vertical curve.
4. Cross Slope.
i. Roadways Shall Be Level. Except at intersections, or where superelevation is
required, roadways shall be level, as measured perpendicularly, from top of finished
edge of pavement to top of finished edge of pavement, or from top of curb to top of
curb when curb and gutter is required and shall have a two (2) percent crown as
measured from centerline to finished edge of pavement, or lip of gutter when curb
and gutter is required, or lip of median curb to lip of outside curb on roadways with
raised center islands. Parabolic or curved crowns are not allowed.
ii. Warped Intersections. Maximum pavement cross slope allowed is four (4) percent
at warped intersections, as measured above. In no case shall the pavement cross
slope at warped intersections exceed the grade of the through street. The rate of
change in pavement cross slope, when warping side streets at intersections, shall not
exceed one (1) percent every twenty-five (25) feet horizontally on low volume
residential roads and streets, one (1) percent every thirty-seven and one-half(37.5)
feet horizontally on suburban and urban residential streets, or one(1) percent every
fifty-six and one-half(56.5)feet horizontally on collector roads and streets.
C. Superelevation. Horizontal curve radius and superelevation shall be in accordance with the
recommendations of the latest edition of AASHTO's A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF
HIGHWAYS AND STREETS, Chapter III. The following procedure is an outline for the correct
application of superelevation. Further information on this method is available in AASHTO's A_
POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS AND STREETS, Chapter III, 1994. Super
Diagrams and Plot Exaggerated Profiles are not mandatory, but may be required by the
County Engineer to evaluate proposed roadways.
1. Horizontal Centerline Radius, Degree of Curvature and Centerline Design Grade.
Establish horizontal centerline radius, degree of curvature and centerline design grade.
Centerline design grade shall be the actual centerline of roadways without raised
medians, or median top of curb, or flowline or lip of median gutter (which shall be level
across the median except at turn lanes) on roadways with raised medians. The method
of attaining superelevations shall be rotation about the centerline on roadways without
raised medians or rotation about the median top of curb on roadways with raised
medians.
2. Rate and Length of Superelevation Runoff. Appendix B, Summary Of
Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards, shall be used to determine the rate of
Superelevation and length of superelevation runoff required for the degree of curvature.
Superelevation runoff is that length of roadway needed to accomplish the change in
cross slope from a section with the adverse crown removed (flat) to the fully
superelevated section, or vice versa.
3. Super Diagram. Use the information obtained from Appendix B, ,
Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards, to construct a "super
diagram". The "super diagram" is a design aid used to establish the length of tangent
runout required, and pavement cross-slopes generated through the transition from the
normal cross section to full superelevation, or vice versa. Intervals at which pavement
cross slopes are read shall not exceed twenty-five (25) feet and should be read at even
twenty-five foot (25) stations along centerline (7+25, 7+50, not 7+28.79, 7+53.79).
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 38
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
Tangent runout is that length of roadway needed to accomplish the change in cross
slope from a normal (two [2] percent) crown section to a section with the adverse crown
removed (flat), or vice versa.
Note: The superelevation runoff is located about the horizontal P.C. or P.T. of the curve
at a two-thirds/one-third (2/3:1/3) ratio, with approximately two-thirds (2/3) of the total
length required for the superelevated runoff being achieved prior to the P.C. or after the
P.T. of the curve. The point at which the superelevation runoff begins or ends should be
at the nearest five (5)foot station.
4. Plot Exaggerated Profile. Plot an exaggerated profile of the centerline or median top of
curb using the grade originally established. Next plot both of the outer tops of curb or
flowlines or lips of gutter, setting elevations radial to centerline by using the pavement
cross slopes derived from the super diagram. Smooth the resultant grade of the outer
tops of curb by the use of spline or french curves, if necessary. Read new elevations on
these adjusted grades. Scale for this exaggerated profile shall be one (1) inch equals
twenty-five (25)feet or larger horizontally and one (1) inch equals one (1)foot vertically.
5. Transfer to Normal Scale. Transfer all of the information on the exaggerated profile to
the profile of the construction plan at normal scale.
6. Add Labels and Submit. Label, at each transition point in the plan view of the
construction plan, the name, station, elevation, and rate of superelevation. Also, label
each point by station and elevation where the pavement cross slope is one (1) percent,
either direction, for the purpose of locating inlets to intercept cross pavement drainage
flows if curb and gutter are required. Submit the super diagram(s) and exaggerated
profiles for concurrent review with the public improvement plans.
D. Intersections.The following standards shall apply at intersections:
1. Through Street Takes Precedence. The grade of the "through" street shall take
precedence at all intersections. At intersections of roadways with the same classification,
the more important roadway, as determined by volume of traffic, shall have this
precedence. Warp side streets to match through streets with as an effective and short
transition as possible.
2. Design Factors. Factors that shall determine the elevation of the point of curb or edge
of pavement return on the side street and the amount of warp needed on a side street
transitioning to a through street are:
i. Permissible Grade. Permissible grade in the stop/start lane, as described in
Sub Section 8.9.E1 G20 ►.S., Intersection Grade.
ii. Pavement Cross Slope. Pavement cross slope at the Point of Curb Return or
Beginning/End of Curve on the side street and permissible warp in pavement cross
slope, as described in 91,1 -9Section 8.9.B.4-44-24+441, Cross Slope.
iii. Vertical Curve Criteria. Normal vertical curve criteria.
iv. Curb Returns. Vertical controls within the curb return itself, as described in
Section 8.9.FR C20 I.G., Curb Returns.
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 39
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
3. Elevation. The elevation at the P.C.R. of the curb return or B.C. on the through street
shall be set by the grade of the through street in conjunction with normal pavement
cross slope (two f(2)}percent) or the rate of superelevation.
4. Crown of the Side Street. Carrying the crown of the side street into the through street
is not permitted.
5. Dipping the Flowline. Dipping the flowline to the extent that the lip of gutter is dipped
is not permitted, except as required for a CDOT Type R Curb Inlet, Standard M-604-12.
Tipping an inlet for the benefit of drainage is also not permitted.
6. Major Intersections. At a major collector-major collector intersection, a more detailed
review of the entire intersection's driveability will be required. Few major intersections
will have a uniform two(2) percent cross slope, the majority of them having one or more
sides warped. See Section 8.9.B.44-C20 l- eN, Cross Slope, for information
concerning warping of pavement at intersections.
7. Curb and Gutter. When curb and gutter is required, separate flowline profiles, and
pavement cross slopes in the plan view may also be required by the County Engineer.
Spot elevations in the intersection shall also be shown, on the plan view, on a fifteen (15)
foot grid. This information shall be shown on separate plan and profile sheets at a scale
of one (1) inch equals twenty (20) feet horizontally and one (1) inch equals two (2) feet
vertically.
E. Intersection Grade. The first twenty (20) feet beyond the edge of the traveled way of the
through street, including any necessary speed change lanes, shall slope down and away
from the through street at a grade of two (2) percent. The transition back to the side street
grade shall be accomplished in a minimum fifty(50)foot vertical curve. The maximum grade
at intersections, including private driveway approaches to public roadways, shall be three (3)
percent at flowline or edge of pavement and centerline(stop/start lane shall be as shaded in
Table 8.11igurc 4 C20 *5, Transition Distances for Permissible Intersection Grades, for the
distances shown in Table 8.1 below At intersecting
major collectors the maximum permissible grade will be two (2) percent for two hundred
(200)feet either side of the intersection on both sides of the roadway.

F. Curb Returns. When curb and gutter is required, minimum fall around curb returns when
turning water shall be six-tenths (0.6) of a foot for a thirty(30)foot return radius and one(1)
foot for a fifty (50) return radius. For other curb return radii, a grade of one and
twenty-seven hundredths (1.27) percent shall be used within the return to establish
minimum fall when turning water.
G. Curb Return Profiles. When curb and gutter is called for in Appendix B, T-.4.l_ C20. '
Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards, curb return profiles shall be
required at every curb return in the public way within the proposed development, except on
medians, in accordance with the following design procedure. These profiles are to be used
for construction staking of the curb return. The following information is provided on curb
return profiles:
1. Elevation. Determine the elevation at each P.C.R. of the curb return according to
sub-section 8.9.D4-C20 I, Intersections.
2. Arc Length. Calculate the arc length of the return at its flowline.
3. Flowline Grade. Show the corresponding flowline (or top of curb)grade for the roadway
beyond the return at each P.C.R.
4. Extend Grades Until They Intersect Within the Return. The above corresponding
grades shall be extended until they intersect, somewhere within the return (Appendix
I, , Curb Return/Edge of Pavement Profile "A"). The grades may intersect
near or outside either P.C.R., so long as the vertical difference in grades does not exceed
two-tenths (0.2) of a foot at either P.C.R. (Appendix I, Curb Return/Edge
of Pavement Profile "B"). In this case, a line is drawn inside the return and two (2)
percent vertical curves are used at the intersections. It may be necessary to revise the
grade of the intersecting side street to obtain an acceptable curb return profile
(Appendix K, Curb Return/Edge of Pavement Profile "C"), however, the
"through" street is never warped to facilitate this. See Section 8.9.D1 C20 1.4.,
Intersections.
5. Vertical Curves and Elevations. Vertical curves within the return may be drawn in with
french or railroad curves. Elevations of at least two points between each P.C.R., at
spacing not to exceed fifteen (15) feet shall then be shown in the profile. These points
shall be evenly spaced between the P.C.R.'s so as to divide the arc length of the curb
return at flowline into equal segments. The elevation and location of the high or low
point within the return, if applicable, is to be called out in the profile and on the plan
view.
6. Scale. Scale for the curb return profile shall be one (1) inch equals ten (10) feet
horizontally and one(1) inch equals one (1)foot vertically.
Note: Separate flowline or edge of pavement profiles are required as the basis for
design at bubbles, cul-de-sacs or horizontal curves when the vertical grade is less than
one (1) percent and other departures from normal roadway cross sections, i.e., the
pavement cross slope is not two(2) percent, and for at least two hundred (200)feet from
all intersections.
H. Clear Vision Areas. A clear vision area shall be maintained on the corners of all properties
at all roadway intersections, including railroad crossings, so that intersection sight distances
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 41
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121C8A27C4
as specified in Appendix B -I., Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And
Design Standards, are provided.
1. Prohibited Structures. A clear vision area shall contain no planting, fence, wall, sign,
utility appurtenance, structure or other obstruction, temporary or permanent, exceeding
thirty (30) inches in height, as measured from the top of the curb, or in the absence of
curb and gutter, from the finished grade of the centerline of the street. Traffic control
devices required by, and installed in accordance with, the MUTCD, or Colorado
Supplement thereto, are exempt from this provision.
2. Applicant is Responsible. It shall be the applicant's responsibility, through the
applicant'seiri.3 engineer, to ensure that the necessary clear vision area is provided in the
layout and design of the development and is carried through during construction.
I. Access Approaches and Driveways.
1. Findings. Control of access to public streets and roads is an area of increasing concern,
since roads are rarely being built or upgraded fast enough to accommodate increases in
traffic.The proliferation of access points and driveways along major local roads and state
highways impairs the ability of such roads to efficiently carry traffic. Effective control of
access can enhance the carrying capacity and safety of most roadways by reducing the
opportunity for turning movements both to and from a major roadway. In addition,
elimination of turning movements can decrease the need for acceleration and
deceleration lanes.
2. State Design Standards. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 43-2-147-(1)(a), access approaches to
roadways under the jurisdiction of Eagle County must meet the Design Standards found
in Sections Three and Four of the Colorado State Highway Access Code, 2 CCR 601-1 (the
Code). In addition, those parcels directly accessing highways under the jurisdiction of the
Colorado Department of Transportation shall be required to obtain a State Highway
Access Permit pursuant to the above-referenced Code. Eagle County is the Issuing
Authority for such permits and should be contacted initially for the application and
further information in obtaining State Highway Access Permits.
3. Additional County Standards. In addition to the foregoing, public and private access
approaches and driveways shall be subject to the following standards:
i. Access By Emergency and Service Vehicle. All dwellings and other structures shall
be accessible by emergency and service vehicles. A maximum grade of eight (8)
percent and a minimum centerline radius of forty-five (45) feet is recommended for
driveways on north-facing slopes. On south-facing slopes, a maximum grade of ten
(10) percent and a minimum centerline radius of forty-five (45)feet is recommended.
Curves should be widened generously in both circumstances.-Fa,
Unless otherwise approved by the Local Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction, public and
private access approaches and driveways in excess of 150 feet in length shall be
provided with adequate area for emergency vehicle turnaround in close proximity to
the residence or structure served.Access approaches and driveways in excess of 300
feet in length shall provide an area adequate for emergency vehicle turnarounds in
close proximity to the residence or structure served, and shall also provide vehicle
turnouts where the driveway is expanded to be at least 18 feet wide at 150 foot
intervals. Alternatively, the private access or driveway may be designed to
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 42
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
accommodate two-way traffic. Turnarounds shall be constructed in accordance with
Section 4-620.D8.3.K, Vehicle Turnarounds.{eM 96)
ii. Driveways in Mountainous Terrain. Proposed developments on lots with
mountainous terrain may require the preliminary layout and design of the individual
driveways at the preliminary plan stage, and the precise design of the driveway at
the final plan stage, to assure that access can be provided to each dwelling unit
served by the driveway in compliance with the standards of this Chaptersivilient.
iii. Driveways Requiring Significant Cuts and/or Fills Discouraged. Driveways that
require significant cuts and/or fills are discouraged. Applicants are encouraged to
relocate development to areas within the proposed development where such cuts
and fills are not required. Where significant grading and/or retaining walls or other
structures may be necessary, the applicant may be required to identify a precise
building envelope and construct the driveway that will serve that envelope, at the
discretion of the Board of County Commissioners, considering the advice of the
County Engineer. In extraordinary cases, driveways may be considered public
improvements and thus collateralized, constructed and subject to the terms and
conditions of the other public improvements in the development.
iv. Driveways Shall Not Serve More than Three Units. Driveways shall not serve more
than three (3) dwelling units, unless specified otherwise in these Regulations. Any
residence having an accessory dwelling unit shall be counted as one (1) unit.
v. Clearance From Intersections. Driveways shall be restricted for a sufficient
distance from any intersection with road approaches to preserve normal and safe
movement of traffic. Driveways shall provide the following intersection clearances,
exclusive of driveway and intersection return radii or flares. In rural and suburban
areas, a minimum intersection clearance of fifty (50) feet shall be provided for
residential driveways and a minimum intersection clearance of one hundred (100)
shall be provided for commercial driveways. In urban areas, a minimum intersection
clearance of twenty (20) feet shall be provided for residential and commercial
driveways, due to the expectation that dedicated turn lanes for the driveways will be
present. In the event there are no dedicated turn lanes, then the minimum twenty
(20) foot intersection clearance may be extended, at the direction of the County
Engineer.
vi. Maximum Number of Entryways. Generally, no more than one (1) entryway shall
be allowed for any parcel of property where the frontage is less than one hundred
(100) feet. Additional entrances or exits for parcels of property having a frontage in
excess of one hundred (100) feet shall be permitted only when the applicant
demonstrates they are required for actual convenience and necessity, and that
safety to the traveling public will not be compromised.
vii. Not Encroach. All driveways shall be located so that the flared portion adjacent to
the traveled way shall not encroach upon adjoining property.
viii. Intersection With Other Roadways. Road approaches shall intersect other
roadways at ninety (90) degrees for a tangent distance of one hundred (100) feet
from the centerline intersections. At intersections with major collectors this distance
shall be increased to two hundred (200) feet. Driveways shall intersect the edge of
the traveled way at ninety (90) degrees. This alignment shall be maintained within
the public way. Beyond the right-of-way line onto the adjacent property, permissible
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY,COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 43
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
axis angles of driveways in relationship to the right-of-way line shall be between
ninety(90)and sixty(60) degrees.
ix. Maximum Width. Commercial driveways shall not exceed thirty-five (35) feet in
width, as measured at right angles to the centerline of the driveway, except as
increased by return radii at the edge of the traveled way. Residential driveways shall
not exceed twenty-four(24)feet in width, measured in the same manner.
x. Radii. Permissible radii on driveway returns shall be governed by such factors as the
width of drive and angular placement. Where the flared edge of an approach
controls the turning radius of a vehicle entering the property by a right turn from the
adjacent outside traffic lane of the roadway, the radius of that edge shall not be less
than twenty (20) feet for passenger vehicles and not less than fifty (50) feet where
single unit or larger trucks may be expected to use the entrance and the traffic
volume on the adjacent road exceeds four hundred (400)AADT.
J. Connections With Existing Roadways. Connections with existing roadways shall be smooth
transitions, conforming to normal vertical curve or grade break criteria. When a vertical
curve is used to make this transition, it shall be fully accomplished prior to the connection
with the existing roadway.
1. Existing Grades. Existing grades shall be shown for at least three hundred (300) feet,
with field verified as-built showing stations and elevations at fifty (50) foot intervals in
level terrain and twenty-five (25) foot intervals in rolling and mountainous terrain. For a
connection with an existing intersection, these as-builts shall be shown within a three
hundred (300) foot radius of the intersection. This information shall be included in the
plan and profile of the proposed roadway.
2. Plan View. Limits and characteristics of the existing improvements shall be shown in the
plan view. Such characteristics include horizontal alignment, off-site intersections, limits
of the improvements, and similar factors.
3. Previously Approved Designs. Previously approved designs for the existing
improvement are not an acceptable means of establishing existing grades, however, they
shall be referenced, on the construction plans, where they occur.
4. Basis of As-Built Elevations. The basis of the as-built elevations shall be the same as
the design elevations(both flowline and top of curb or edge of pavement).
K. Off-Site Design. The design grade, and existing ground at that design grade, of all roadways
that dead end due to project phasing, subdivision boundaries or similar factors shall be
continued, as necessary, in the same plan and profile as the proposed design, for at least
three hundred (300) feet or to the intersection with a major collector roadway. This
requirement shall be waived when there is no possibility of the roadway being extended in
the future in accordance with sub-section 1 G20 18.9.A.7+.g Street Pattern.
1. Applicant Is Responsible For Transition. If the off-site roadway, adjacent to the
proposed development is not fully improved, the applicant shall be responsible for the
design and construction of a transition for the safe conveyance of traffic from his
improved section to the existing roadway.
2. Road Shall Be Extended. The improved section of road shall be extended to the
boundary of the proposed development, as outlined in sub-section 0 18.9.A.7,
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 44

Street Pattern, with the transition being constructed "beyond" the proposed
development onto the existing road. The following formula shall be applied to the taper
or lane change necessary for this transition:
L = WS2/60
where:
L = Length of transition in feet
W=Width of offset in feet
S= Speed limit or 85th percentile speed.
8.10 STRUCTURES
The developer shall be responsible to have all bridges, culverts, retaining walls, borings,
tunnels or other structures within the proposed development designed by a Professional
Engineer, licensed in the State of Colorado, and shall be responsible to have said structures
constructed, reconstructed or repaired through the two year warranty period in the
Subdivision Improvements Agreement as defined in ECLUR Section 5-280.6.5.e. The engineer
shall provide certification, upon completion of any such structures, that it meets the
minimum requirements for the intended use, traffic loading and soils conditions prior to
acceptance of the public improvements by Eagle County. All such structures shall meet the
following minimum standards: 149E1}
A. Strength. Structures shall be of sufficient strength to accommodate an AASHTO
HS20 loading.
B. Pedestrian Facilities. Facilities for pedestrians, bicyclists or equestrians shall be
provided if the structure traverses a roadway. The facilities shall have a width equal
to the traveled way, plus four(4)feet and shall include walkways and handrails.
C. Hydraulic Capacity of Drainage Structures. Drainage structures include, but are
not limited to, bridges, pipe culverts, box culverts, channels, ditches, gutters,
spillways, inlets, drains, orifices, gates, chutes, dams, levees, dikes, sills, ponds,

CHAPTER 1 GENERAL PROVISIONS
1.1 TITLE
This manual is called the Eagle County Engineering Criteria Manual and shall be referred to herein as
the"ECM."
1.2 PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
The purpose of this ECM is to outline Eagle County's minimum acceptable standards for the design,
construction, location, improvement, and maintenance of all land development or any other
proposed construction in Eagle County. These regulations are intended to protect and promote the
public health, safety, and welfare of the residents and visitors of Eagle County and provide the
applicant with choices that will facilitate the development of infrastructure that is well suited to
County needs and is safe, efficient, and economical. These regulations are necessary to protect and
promote public health, safety, and welfare; ensure that public infrastructure meets commonly
accepted engineering standards; and maintain consistency and fairness in development review.
Failure to comply with these regulations may delay project approvals or result in the withholding or
withdrawal of project permits or approvals.
1.3 JURISDICTION
The requirements of this ECM shall apply to all subdividers, developers or other landowners, their
employees, agents or contractors designing and constructing public and/or private infrastructure or
other development within unincorporated areas of Eagle County (hereafter called County), except
where superseded by State and/or the Federal regulations. The foregoing design and construction of
are subject to review and approval by the County pursuant to any County regulation or requirement.
1.4 AMENDMENTS TO THE ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL
This ECM may be amended from time to time as set forth herein as new materials, equipment,
technologies, methods, and professional practices change, as a result of changes in state law, due to
changes in community need or vision, or other reason. The County Engineer shall monitor the
performance and effectiveness of this ECM and will recommend changes, updates, amendments,
and revisions to the Board of County Commissioners("Board")as necessary.
1 1.4.1 MINOR AMENDMENT
Minor Amendments are non-substantive changes that do not affect interpretation, purpose, or
applicability of standards set forth in this ECM. Minor amendments include, but are not limited to,
typos, formatting, updating editions of published reference manuals, or changing required permit
application materials. Text changes that are intended to provide clarity or correct conflicts shall also
be considered Minor Amendments. Minor Amendments shall be processed and approved under the
authority of the County Engineer. Any Minor Amendments to this ECM shall be immediately effective
after a fifteen (15)day public notice period.
11.4.2 MAJOR AMENDMENT
Major Amendments are substantive changes that alter the interpretation, purpose, or applicability of
standards. Changes to fees shall be considered a Major Amendment. Major Amendments shall be
initiated by the County Engineer and approved by the Board. These standards may be altered or
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 1 Page 6
Uocusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
amended by a Major Amendment by the Board at a public hearing which has been advertised no
less than fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the hearing in a newspaper of general circulation within
the County.

CHAPTER 2 EXCAVATION AND GRADING STANDARDS
2.1 PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY
A. Purpose. The purpose of these requirements is to safeguard life, limb, property and the
public welfare by regulating grading on private property.
B. Applicability. No person shall do any grading without first having obtained a grading permit
or an exemption from a grading permit from the Eagle County Engineer.
2.2 EXCAVATION AND GRADING STANDARDS
A. Application. The excavation and grading standards shall be as contained in the current
edition of the International Building Code Appendix J. Grading.The current edition will be as
specified in the Eagle County Building Resolution.
B. Amendments. The standards shall also include amendments to the current edition of the

CHAPTER 3 EROSION CONTROL STANDARDS
3.1 PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY
A. Purpose. Siltation of rivers and other water bodies is a leading cause of water quality
impairment in rivers and lakes. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the water
quality impacts resulting from land development and other land disturbing activities.
B. Applicability. This section shall apply to any disturbance within one hundred (100)feet of a
stream, all residential development disturbing more than one-half(1/2) acre, all commercial
and industrial development, and all proposed subdivisions and PUD's.
3.2 EROSION CONTROL STANDARDS
The applicant shall minimize erosion of soils from a site that is being developed by complying with
the following standards.
A. Phase Construction. Construction activities, such as clearing, grading, road construction,
and utilities installation shall be phased to minimize soil exposure. Sediment trapping
practices and stream and other water body protection shall be installed and stabilized
before site grading or other construction is initiated.
B. Soil Stabilization. All disturbed areas and soil stockpiles shall be surface roughened,
mulched, or seeded and mulched, or otherwise protected from erosive forces if they will
remain exposed and inactive for periods longer than fourteen (14) days, or if soil will be
exposed during winter, so erosion will not occur during spring snow melt. Disturbed areas
shall be mulched, or seeded and mulched within seven (7) days after final grade is reached.
Grass or straw mulch shall be crimped in place. On slopes steeper than twenty(20) percent,
or within fifty (50) feet of any water body, exposed soils shall be hydromulched or covered
with nets or mats.
C. Permanent Revegetation. Any disturbed area that is not built upon for one (1) year or
longer shall be revegetated with a perennial, native grass mix.Within one growing season of
project completion, vegetative site coverage shall be equal to or greater than seventy (70)
percent of the disturbed areas.
D. Cut and Fill Slopes. Where cut and fill cannot be avoided, slopes shall be designed for long
term stability. Permanent vegetation should be used as the preferred approach to
stabilization of cut and fill areas where slopes are less than or equal to three to one (3:1). On
steeper cut and fill slopes, stabilization may be attained by utilizing retaining walls, rock
walls, up slope runoff diversions, slope drains or other measures appropriate for the specific
situation. Step retaining walls shall be positioned such that the width of the step is half the
height of the wall. Retaining walls over four (4) feet in height shall be designed by a
professional engineer. Revegetation of the steps is required. In no case shall the soil surface
of a cut and fill slope remain exposed without an approved method of soil stabilization.
E. Construction in or Adjacent to a Water Body. Construction in or directly adjacent to any
water body, such as culvert or bridge installation, shall require bed and bank stabilization.
This may include stream isolation through the use of coffer dams, complete containment of
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 3 Page 10
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
the stream in the area of the disturbance, stream crossing structures, or limits on the dates
when in-stream work can be performed.
F. Channels and Ditches. New or re-routed irrigation ditches, receiving channels and streams
shall be protected so that flows from the site do not cause erosion and flooding.
G. Stormwater Runoff. Stormwater runoff flows shall be managed to minimize erosion and
sediment transport. Concentrated flows shall be diverted away from disturbed slopes. The
length and steepness of disturbed slopes shall be minimized, or slope drains shall be used.
H. Sediment and Mud Control. Sediment and mud shall be prevented from leaving the
construction site by immediate placement of street base or construction of mud pads in
access routes. Mud pads shall be at least fifty (50) feet in length and comprised of angular
rock and/or a wheel washing facility. Adjacent properties shall be protected by using
sediment fences, straw bales, and silt traps. Storm sewer inlets shall be protected from entry
of sediment-laden water.
I. Sediment Detention. When the contributing drainage area, including off-site area, is
greater than five (5) acres, sediment detention ponds, infiltration devices, and other
management practices which store or detain runoff shall be used to treat
sediment-containing runoff prior to discharge from the construction site. These practices
shall be designed to treat the runoff from the two (2) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm.
Sediment detention ponds, when included, shall be designed to achieve ninety (90) percent
trap efficiency for all sediments of .005 mm or larger diameter. If the discharge from the
pond is passed through a filtration (i.e. a constructed wetland) or infiltration device, the trap
efficiency requirements may be reduced. Where the contributing drainage area is less than
five (5) acres, a specific engineered design for these sediment trapping facilities shall not be
required. Silt traps may be used to detain and treat runoff if the contributing drainage area
is less than five (5)acres.
J. Temporary Sediment Ponds. Temporary sediment ponds that will be removed after
successful revegetation of the site shall be designed to safely detain and release all storms
up to and including the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm at its historic,
pre-development rate of release. Ponds that will be left as permanent facilities shall have a
capacity to safely pass the one hundred (100) year flood and meet any dam and diversion
requirements of the State Engineer.
K. Construction De-Watering. All construction de-watering activities shall conform with the
State's construction de-watering permit requirements, which include daily monitoring of
total suspended solids with a thirty (30) day average concentration of no more than thirty
(30) mg/I and a seven (7) day average of no more than forty-five (45) mg/I. Discharges from
construction de-watering operations shall be accomplished in a manner that does not cause
erosion.
L. Inspection and Maintenance. The applicant shall inspect all erosion and sediment control
devices after any precipitation event during construction, and make any necessary repairs
immediately thereafter. At a minimum, erosion and sediment control devices shall be
inspected monthly. An inspection log shall be kept on-site for review by County officials until
the project is complete. A copy of the inspection log sheets shall be delivered to the County
at the end of each month during construction.

If there are surface water rights appurtenant to lands proposed to be developed, utilizing an
irrigation system, the applicant shall provide evidence of compliance with the requirements of
applicable Colorado Law.
5.2 IRRIGATION WATER
If irrigation water is to be made available in a development, it shall be the responsibility of the
applicant to install an acceptable delivery system. The applicant and irrigation ditch owner shall
collaborate on any necessary improvements to the ditch or attendant structures prior to final
approval of the development. Such improvements shall be considered public improvements and
shall be collateralized, constructed and subject to the terms and conditions of the other public
improvements in the development.
A. System Standards. The irrigation delivery system shall meet minimum delivery
requirements for the development and shall encompass the control of wastewater, drainage
water, and surface water resulting from irrigation, and shall protect and deliver the water
rights of others using the same water source.
B. Review. The irrigation delivery system shall be reviewed and approved by the County
Environmental Health Manager, considering how it affects the operation of On-Site
Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS) on lots within and adjacent to the development.The
irrigation delivery system may also be subject to review and approval by the State Engineer.
5.3 RESTRICTION OF IRRIGATION METHODS
Eagle County may restrict the methods of irrigation to be employed in a development in order to
prevent an artificial and detrimental rise of the groundwater table under the subdivided land or
adjacent lands.
5.4 IRRIGATION DITCH EASEMENTS
Irrigation ditch easements shall be provided for all irrigation ditches crossing the proposed
development, unless the applicant can prove conclusively that they have been legally abandoned.
Irrigation ditch easements shall be of a width equal to the average ditch width plus twenty(20)feet,
or as otherwise recommended by the ditch owner and as approved by the Board of County
Commissioners.
5.5 IRRIGATION DITCH MAINTENANCE
Irrigation ditch owners shall be responsible for the maintenance of the ditch and any attendant
structures unless other written agreements are entered into between the applicant and ditch owner.
Such agreement(s) shall be filed as part of the final approval documents. Maintenance within the

CHAPTER 6 DRAINAGE STANDARDS
6.1 PURPOSE AND APPLICABILITY
A. Purpose. Land development, particularly increased impervious surface area, has been
shown to degrade water quality and alter natural hydrology. The standards of this section
are intended to minimize the likelihood and extent of flooding and environmental damage
from uncontrolled urban runoff.
B. Applicability. These standards shall apply to any commercial or industrial development, any
proposed subdivision or PUD, proposed development within one hundred (100) feet of a
water body, and to any other development creating ten thousand (10,000) square feet or
more of impervious surface area.
6.2 STANDARDS
Stormwater runoff from all proposed development shall be managed so as to comply with the
following standards: (A) No Direct Discharge; (B) Minimize Directly-Connected Impervious Areas; (C)
Detain and Treat Run-off; (D) Conveyance of 100-year Storm Flow; and (E) Other Techniques.
A. No Direct Discharge. Stormwater discharge shall comply with one (1) of the following
management options:
1. Vegetated Surface. Sheetflow across at least one hundred (100) feet of stable,
vegetated surface prior to discharge to any natural water body, or flow in one hundred
(100)feet of non-erosive grass channels;
2. On Site Treatment. On-site treatment of stormwater by use of best management
practices designed to detain and infiltrate the runoff and approved as part of the
Stormwater Control Plan prior to discharge to any natural water body; or
3. Structure. Discharge to a stormwater conveyance structure, designed to accommodate
the projected additional flows from the proposed project, with treatment by a best
management practice prior to discharge into any natural water body.
B. Minimize Directly-Connected Impervious Areas. The extent of directly-connected
impervious areas shall be minimized by having runoff from fifty(50) percent of all developed
impervious surfaces (rooftops, parking lots, sidewalks, etc.) drain over grass buffer strips
before reaching stormwater conveyance systems. The fifty(50) percent requirement may be
reduced if the outflow from the grass filter strip is directed to other stormwater treatment
methods.
1. Examples. Examples of other potential techniques to be used in conjunction with grass
buffer strips are: infiltration devices; constructed wetlands; sand filters; replacing curb
and gutter systems with low velocity grass lined swales; and, over-sizing swales, ditches
and culvert crossing (such as driveway intersections) to provide additional detention
storage.
2. Slope. The maximum allowable slope for developed land surfaces that drain to grass
buffer strips is ten (10) percent. The slope of the vegetative buffer strip itself should be
no greater than five (5) percent and should be of a uniform gradient to insure evenly
distributed sheet flows. Terracing and retaining wall construction may be required if
necessary to maintain allowable slopes.

Chapter 6 Page 16
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
3. Formula. The design width, or distance along the sheet flow direction, shall be the
greater of the following:
width = 8.0 feet
0.2 L
Where L equals the length of the flow path of the sheet flow over the upstream
impervious surface.
C. Detain and Treat Run-off. Permanent stormwater detention facilities shall be designed to:
(1) treat stormwater for pollutant removal; (2) reduce peak flows to historic levels and
minimize extreme flooding; and, (3) prevent erosion of downstream channels. Detention
facilities shall be designed to comply with the following standards:
1. Pollutant Removal. Removal of pollutants shall be accomplished by providing ninety
(90) percent trap efficiency for particles 0.005 mm in diameter or larger from the two(2)
year, twenty-four (24) hour storm. For drainage from parking lots, vehicle maintenance
facilities, or other areas with extensive vehicular use, this standard may require the use
of a sand and oil grease trap or similar practice (e.g., constructed wetland, extended
detention with no initial release, etc.).
2. Peak Flow Reduction. Peak flow reduction shall be accomplished by limiting detention
pond release rates to historic (undeveloped) peak flows for all storms up to and
including the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour design storm. In determining
runoff rates, the entire area contributing runoff must be considered, including any
off-site contribution. Off-site contributions shall be based on the fully developed
potential based upon proposed land uses. To minimize the threat of major property
damage or loss of life, all permanent stormwater detention facilities must provide for the
safe passage of the one hundred (100)year, twenty-four(24) hour storm event.
3. Downstream Channels. Channels downstream from the discharge of stormwater shall
be protected from increased channel scour, bank instability, and erosion and
sedimentation from the twenty-five (25) year design storm. The use of natural drainage
ways as receiving streams is required unless it can be shown that no alternatives to
changing natural drainage locations exist.
D. Conveyance of 100-year Storm Flow. All applications for any land development listed in
Section 6.1.B, Applicability, shall include design provisions for the overland conveyance of
the post development 100-year, twenty-four (24) hour storm flows through the site without
damage to any public or private property.
E. Other Techniques. Other techniques, not specifically identified, may be considered for
implementation subject to the approval of the County Engineer.
6.3 STORMWATER CONTROL PLAN
An applicant for any development listed in Section 6.1.B, Applicability, shall submit a stormwater
control plan prepared by a qualified professional engineer registered in the State of Colorado. The
plan shall contain the applicable information as listed in Section 3.3, Erosion and Sediment Control
Plan, and the following additional information:
A. Calculations. Hydrologic, hydraulic and all other calculations used to size and design
drainage facilities and/or structural best management practices.

7.6 UNOBSTRUCTED ACCESS
Each required parking space shall have unobstructed access from a road or alley, or from an aisle or
drive connecting with a road or alley, except for approved residential tandem parking.
7.7 TANDEM PARKING
Tandem parking (a vehicle parking directly behind another) shall be permitted to count towards
meeting the off-street parking standards of this Chapter when the tandem spaces are assigned to
the same dwelling unit. In such instances, a parking space for a dwelling unit located behind a
garage or behind another space may be counted towards the total parking requirement for the
dwelling unit, provided use of the space does not impede the movement of other vehicles on the
site. Tandem parking may also be permitted for lodge or commercial uses, when the applicant
agrees, as a condition of the approval, to provide valet parking for the tandem spaces at all times
when the use is in operation.
A. Credit Limited to One (1) Space. Tandem parking provisions may only be used to
obtain credit for one(1) required parking space.
B. Tandem Parking Prohibited in Parking Structure. Tandem parking shall not be
allowed when required parking is located within a parking structure or within a
garage that serves multiple dwelling units.
7.8 BACKING ONTO ROADS PROHIBITED
All parking areas shall be located and designed in conjunction with a driveway, such that vehicles
exiting from a parking space shall not be required to back onto the right-of-way of a public street.
Provided, however, that vehicles exiting from a parking space for a single-family or duplex dwelling
unit may back onto a residential street. Vehicles exiting from a parking space for any use may also
back onto the right-of-way of an alley adjacent to the property.
7.9 ACCESS DRIVEWAYS
Access driveways into required off-street parking areas shall be designed and constructed to
facilitate the flow of traffic, provide maximum safety of traffic access and egress and the maximum
safety of pedestrian and vehicular traffic on the site.
A. Minimum Width. The minimum width of the access driveway shall be twelve (12)feet for a
one (1) way drive and twenty-four (24) feet for a two (2) way drive for commercial and
industrial access and ten (10)and twenty(20)feet, respectively, for residential access.
B. Clear Vision Area. Access driveways shall have a minimum clear vision area formed by the
intersection of the driveway centerline, the street right-of-way line, and a straight line joining
said lines through points twenty(20)feet from their intersection.
7.10 PARKING AREA LANDSCAPING
Parking and loading areas for non-residential uses located adjacent to residential uses or residential
zone districts shall be designed to minimize disturbance to residents, including, but not limited to,
installation of perimeter landscaping, control of illumination and proper screening of loading areas

with opaque materials. Landscaping, screening and illumination of all parking areas shall comply
with the standards of ECLUR Article 4, Division 2, Landscaping and Illumination Standards.
7.11 SNOW STORAGE
Adequate space shall be provided for storage of snow removed from pedestrian and vehicular ways,
and parking and loading spaces on any property that contains commercial or industrial uses,
multi-family units, or a common outdoor parking area.
A. Minimum Area. A designated area, sufficient to store snow from the entire parking area,
shall be provided. As a general guideline, and considering the varying elevations and
snowfall amounts throughout the County, it is anticipated that a minimum area equivalent
to two and one-half (2.5) percent of the total area of the required off-street parking and
loading area, inclusive of access drives, shall be designated to serve as a snow storage area.
Provided, however, the applicant may submit information to the County to demonstrate that
the elevation of the property and its typical snowfall amounts can be adequately
accommodated in a smaller area and the County may reduce the size of the required snow
storage area accordingly.
B. Storage in Parking Spaces Prohibited. Snow shall not be stored within required parking
spaces, except on an emergency basis for a period not to exceed forty-eight(48) hours.
C. Storage in Yards and Open Space Permitted. Snow may be stored in required yards and
open space, including landscaped areas properly designed for snow storage. Snow stored in
a required yard or open space shall not be located to restrict access or circulation, or to
obstruct views of motorists.
D. Drainage. Adequate drainage shall be provided for the snow storage area to accommodate
snow melt and to ensure it does not drain onto adjacent property.
7.12 PEDESTRIAN CIRCULATION
Safe and efficient pedestrian circulation paths shall be provided between required parking areas and
the entry to the building(s) on the site. As applicable, pedestrian circulation paths on the site shall
also be connected to transit facilities and trails or paths on adjacent sites.

CHAPTER 8 ROADWAY STANDARDS
8.1 CONSISTENCY WITH OTHER STANDARDS
These Roadway Standards are generally consistent with the recommendations of the American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and those of the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE). These standards also reflect the guidelines and recommendations of
the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), Transportation Research Board (TRB), United
States Forest Service (USFS), National Park Service (NPS), Bureau of Land Management (BLM),
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and others. If there is a difference in the
standards set forth in this Chapter and those referenced in any manual referenced in this Chapter,
then the standards set forth in this Chapter shall govern.
A. Conformance with Colorado Highway Commission Standards. C.R.S. § 43-2-114 states
that the general standards for county primary roads shall be those adopted by the
Transportation Commission for the state highway system for the corresponding class of
county road in the state highway system. The Colorado Highway Commission adopted and
approved said standards by Resolution No. 2297-D on June 20, 1991. The 1991 Standard
Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction identified in that Resolution incorporates the
1990 Roadway Design Manual, published by CDOT, and also incorporates the geometric
design standards of AASHTO. The County road improvement standards that are contained
herein are intended to be in conformance with AASHTO.
1. All guardrail that is to be constructed within Eagle County rights of way must conform to
the current Colorado Department of Transportation Standards and Specifications for
Road and Bridge Design and the Standard Plans M&S Standards. ;
2. U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration Metric Standard
Steel Backed Guardrail Type A and B, designated as M617-60 and M617-61, may be
installed on roads which are maintained by private entities or metro districts.
B. Conformance With 1990 Road Design Manual. The County road improvement standards
presented herein are intended to apply to roadways having or projected to have traffic
volumes of three thousand (3,000)vehicles per day or less.
1. Roads Having Greater Volumes. The design of any roadway having, or projected to
have, a volume of traffic greater than three thousand (3,000)vehicles per day shall be in
compliance with the 1990 Roadway Design Manual, Sections 100 through 1000, inclusive.
The design for such roadways shall also consider such other pertinent factors as are
identified by the County Engineer, including, but not necessarily limited to, greater
setbacks for noise buffering; climbing lanes; paved shoulders for ease of maintenance,
safety and for non-motorized use for bicycles and pedestrians; acceleration/deceleration
turn lanes; greater access control to protect the roadway's carrying capacity; and curve
widening based on truck traffic.
2. Local Roads. Local roads are defined in the 1990 Roadway Design Manual as roads
primarily for access to a residence, business, or abutting property. Their design is
addressed in Section 1100 of the Design Manual. The County improvement standards
also accommodate lesser design criteria. The alternate standards for off system and low
volume roads are in conformance with the minimum criteria presented in AASHTO's
1994 A Policy on Geometric Design of Highways and Streets. The alternate standards are
envisioned to cover both construction and reconstruction of roads and to recognize the
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 26
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
importance of sight distance as a safety requirement in the construction or
reconstruction of roads.
8.2 FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATIONS UNDER ISTEA
The functional classifications contained herein are meant to complement and supplement the
Highway Functional Classifications used by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Under the
Intermodal Surface and Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA), enacted in 1991, all higher category
roads in the United States were classified. In Eagle County the classifications under ISTEA are as
follows:
A. Principal Arterials, Interstate. 1-70 is the only principal interstate arterial in
unincorporated Eagle County.
B. Principal Arterials, Other Freeways or Expressways. There are no freeways or
expressways in unincorporated Eagle County.
C. Other Principal Arterials. Highway 82 is the only other principal arterial in unincorporated
Eagle County.
D. Minor Arterials. Highway 24 and Highway 131 are the only minor arterials in
unincorporated Eagle County.
E. Major Collectors. The major collectors in unincorporated Eagle County are Highway 6,
Brush Creek Road, Cottonwood Pass Road including Gypsum Creek Road connecting to
Highway 6 in Gypsum, Fryingpan Road and Trough Road.
F. Minor Collectors. The minor collectors in unincorporated Eagle County are Colorado River
Road, Cooley Mesa Road, Deep Creek Road, El Jebel Road/Upper Cattle Creek Road, Gypsum
Creek Road, Homestake Road, and Sweetwater Road.
G. Local Roads.All other roads in unincorporated Eagle County are classified as local roads.
8.3 FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATIONS BY COUNTY
In addition to the road classifications under ISTEA, Eagle County classifies other roads in the county
as Major and Minor Collector Roads, both Rural and Urban, due to their functional characteristics as
defined by AASHTO. The user of these Improvement Standards may, therefore, find a dual
classification for some Eagle County roads. For administrative and design purposes, roads shall be
classified as shown in Classification of Roads in Eagle County. The current classification is attached
hereto as Appendix A, Road Classifications, and will be replaced as the classification is amended
from time-to-time by the County Engineer. Roads within the jurisdiction of unincorporated Eagle
County are classified as follows:
A. Rural Major Collectors. Rural major collectors serve as inter-county and intra-county routes
in Resource zone districts that handle traffic volumes of up to three thousand (3,000)
vehicles per day and more as they pass through urban and suburban areas. The lengths of
such roads are generally significant in extent. Surfaces can be either gravel or pavement, as
dictated by traffic volumes. Design and posted speeds range from thirty (30) to sixty (60)
mph. On-street parking on such roads is prohibited and off-street parking must be
specifically provided for. Access is regulated and intersection spacing is at least one-half(0.5)
mile.Traffic noise from such roads on adjacent uses may be mitigated.
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 27
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
B. Rural Minor Collectors. Rural minor collectors serve as intra-county roads of moderate
length connecting residential areas to commercial and industrial areas, and to major
collectors in Resource zone districts that handle traffic volumes up to four hundred (400)
vehicles per day. They may also traverse considerable distance. Design and posted speeds
range from twenty (20) to forty (40) mph, depending upon terrain. Surfaces are treated
gravel or pavement, depending on traffic volumes. Access to adjacent properties is limited
and may require turn lanes, depending on traffic volumes. Intersection spacing ranges from
six hundred (600) feet when design speeds are at or above thirty-five (35) mph, to three
hundred (300) feet at design speeds below thirty-five (35) mph. On-street parking on such
roads is prohibited and off-street parking must be specifically provided for.
C. Rural Access Roads. Rural access roads are country in nature, access ranch areas or public
lands in Resource zone districts that handle a very low volume of traffic (less than fifty [50]
vehicles per day) on gravel or dirt surface roads. Design and posted speeds range from
fifteen (15) to twenty-five (25) mph, depending upon terrain. Though tangent sections are
narrow, curves are widened generously to accommodate recreational vehicles, particularly if
they are towing another vehicle, or to accommodate logging trucks. Turnouts are provided
as terrain permits, however, the maximum spacing on turnouts should not exceed one-half
(0.5) mile.
D. Rural Residential Roads. Rural residential roads generally serve development that has not
been clustered in the Resource Limited (RL),Agricultural Residential(AR), Agricultural Limited
(AL), and Rural Residential (RR)zone districts. Rural residential roads include rural residential
collector roads and internal rural residential roads.
1. Rural Residential Collector Roads. Rural residential collector roads are generally
moderate in length (less than four [4] miles) and handle traffic volumes of less than
3,000 vehicles per day. These roads serve as a transition between higher classification
roads and the associated residential area. Direct lot access is generally discouraged, and
requires specific approval by the County Engineer. Design and posted speeds are
generally terrain dependent and relatively low, in the range of twenty-five (25) to
thirty-five (35) mph.
2. Internal Rural Residential Roads. Internal rural residential roads generally have lot
frontages of greater than two hundred (200) feet and handle traffic volume of less than
two hundred-fifty (250) vehicles per day. Paved roads with side ditches and culverts
generally serve well for these roads. Paths or sidewalks are not generally provided and
on street parking is prohibited. Design speeds range from twenty(20)to thirty(30) mph.
E. Suburban Residential Roads. Suburban residential roads serve development that has not
been clustered in the Residential Suburban Low Density (RSL) and Residential Suburban
Medium Density (RSM) zone districts. Suburban residential roads include suburban
residential collector roads and internal suburban residential roads.
1. Suburban Residential Collectors. Suburban residential collectors are generally short in
length (less than one (1) mile) and handle traffic volumes of less than three thousand
(3,000) vehicles per day. Design speeds vary from twenty (20) to thirty (30) mph,
dependent upon terrain, and direct residential lot access is prohibited. Extensive
berming and planting are generally necessary along these roads to provide a buffer
between traffic and residents. Suburban residential collectors shall have detached paths
and transit facilities may be required as part of the street system. Attached paths are
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 28
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121C8A27C4
permitted where terrain mandates such designs. On street parking shall be prohibited.
Internal
2. Suburban Residential Roads. Internal suburban residential roads are shorts roads,with
lengths of less than one-half (0.5) mile road whose segments are encouraged to be
discontinuous so the internal roads do not function as collectors. They have design and
posted speeds between twenty (20) and thirty (30) mph. Lot frontages are generally
between seventy-five (75) feet and one hundred twenty-five(125)feet. Paved roads with
curb and gutter and sidewalks or an extensive paved path system are required.
Intersection spacing may range down to three hundred (300)feet.
F. Urban Residential Roads. Urban residential roads are generally associated with residential
developments and those portions of Planned Unit Development (PUD) zone districts having
an urban density.
1. Urban Residential Collectors. Urban residential collectors are generally very short in
length (less than one half [0.5] mile) and handle traffic volumes of less than three
thousand (3,000) vehicles per day. They serve to feed traffic into the heart of the
associated residential area and serve as a section of road for turn lanes and vehicle
stacking when exiting the area. Direct access onto such roads is prohibited. Design and
posted speeds vary from twenty (20) to thirty (30) mph. Berming and planting with
detached sidewalks and curb and gutter shall be required.
2. Internal Urban Residential Roads. Internal urban residential roads are very short in
length (less than one half [0.5] mile) and handle traffic volumes of less than seven
hundred-fifty (750) vehicles per day. The segments of these roads are encouraged to be
discontinuous so they do not function as collectors. These roads are paved with curb and
gutter and detached sidewalks are required (paths are not an acceptable substitute).
Off-street parking shall be provided and on-street parking shall be prohibited. Transit
facilities are required as part of the street system.
G. Commercial Roads. Commercial roads serve Commercial Limited (CL) and Commercial
General (CG) zoning. Curb and gutter and attached or detached sidewalks are required.
Design speed would be twenty-five (25) mph. Off-street parking is typically required,
however, on-street parking may instead be appropriate where there are lower traffic
volumes. Transit facilities are required as part of the street system,as are street lighting and
design features that accommodate pedestrians. The design of commercial roads shall
consider intersection sight distance, separation of driveways from intersections, the need for
intersection turn lanes, the special needs of single and multi-unit delivery trucks and general
traffic movement efficiencies.
H. Industrial Roads. Industrial roads serve Industrial (I) zoning. Curb and gutter and attached
or detached sidewalks are required, as is off-street parking. Design speed is twenty-five (25)
mph. The design of industrial roads shall also consider the special needs of single and
multi-unit truck operations and provide intersection and driveway sight distances that are
large to allow for the greater time it takes these trucks to enter a roadway.
I. Urban Cul-de-sacs. Urban cul-de-sacs are short, dead-end roads intended to serve
residential or commercial developments in areas serviced by centralized domestic water
delivery systems managed by a municipal or special operating district. For the purpose of
these regulations, and pursuant to Section 8.9.A.8, Dual Access, properties located on an
urban cul-de-sac do not require dual or secondary emergency access.
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 29
Docusign Envelope ID:890074F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121C8A27C4
1. Maximum Length or Maximum Number of Residential Units. In general, the
maximum length of an urban cul-de-sac shall be 1,000 feet. In larger lot suburban
settings the maximum length rule may be interchanged with a provision that allows no
more than twelve (12) units on each side of the street for a total of twenty five (25)
contiguous residential units per road. The Local Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction shall
provide a recommendation regarding the design of urban cul-de-sacs for any new
development or redevelopment proposal. Based on the number of units to be served,
the wildfire hazard, the placement of fire hydrants and the capacity and pressure of the
local water system, it may be determined by the Local Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction
that the 1000 foot length or the maximum of 25 dwelling units is excessive.
2. Road Design Standards. The physical characteristics of any urban cul-de-sac road shall
be based on applicable provisions of Section 8.3 Functional Classification By County,
unless otherwise determined appropriate by the County Engineer.
3. Turnarounds at Road End. All urban cul-de-sacs shall terminate in a circular, "T" or "L"
type turnaround constructed in accordance with Section 8.3.K, Vehicle Turnarounds.
4. Non-motorized Pedestrian Links. When urban cul-de-sacs are incorporated in a
residential or commercial development, applicants are encouraged to provide
non-motorized links between cul-de-sacs, which may be credited towards any applicable
requirements for open space or trails for the development.
J. Rural Cul-de-sacs. Rural cul-de-sacs are dead end roads longer than 1000 feet in length that
serve residential or commercial uses in areas where dual or secondary emergency access is
not possible, and/or where centralized domestic water delivery is not available. As a matter
of public safety, all reasonable effort shall be made to avoid the use of rural cul-de-sacs.
1. Driveways Exempt. Driveways that serve three (3) or fewer residential units shall not be
considered rural cul-de-sacs, but shall be required to conform to Section 8.9.1, Access
Approaches and Driveways.
2. Year-round Access Required. Rural cul-de-sacs will only be considered in those cases
where year-round access can be assured by virtue of minimum grades and flatter
curvature.
3. Road Design Standards. The physical characteristics of any rural cul-de-sac road shall
be based on applicable provisions of Section 8.3 Functional Classification By County,
unless otherwise determined appropriate by the County Engineer.
4. Emergency Vehicle Turnaround Areas. Emergency vehicle turnaround areas shall be
required on rural cul-de-sacs at the initial 1000 foot mark and at 1000 foot intervals for
the remaining length of the road. The Local Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction may
recommend an alternative spacing plan for turnaround areas. The turnaround shall be
constructed in accordance with Section 8.3.K, Vehicle Turnarounds.
5. Turnarounds at Road End. All rural cul-de-sac roads shall terminate in a circular, "T"or
"L"type turnaround constructed in accordance with Section 8.3.K, Vehicle Turnarounds.
6. Water Service. Proposals for residential or commercial development accessed by rural
cul-de-sacs shall provide at least one of the following:
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 30
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121C8A27C4
i. An on-site fire fighting water supply source acceptable to the Local Fire Authority
Having Jurisdiction; or
ii. Monitored sprinkler systems in all residential and commercial buildings as
determined appropriate by the Local Building Official and the Local Fire Authority
Having Jurisdiction; or
iii. A combination of items (1) and (2) as determined appropriate by the Local Building
Official and the Local Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction.
7. Variance Required Any proposal for development that requires access by a Rural
Cul-de-sac shall be required to obtain a variance from Section 8.9.A.8, Dual Access as
provided herein. The Board of County Commissioners may, at their discretion, grant a
variance subject to the provisions of Section 8.9.A.8, Dual Access and ECLUR Section
5-260.G, Variance from Improvement Standards or, in the event that a Planned Unit
Development is proposed, subject to the provisions of ECLUR Section 5-240.F.3.e.(8),
Improvements.
K. Vehicle Turnarounds.
1. Preferred Design. Circular offset turnarounds are preferred, as illustrated in Exhibit 5-8
of A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS AND STREETS, 2001, published by
AASHTO. Cul-de-sacs may also terminate in a "T" or"L" shaped turnaround as illustrated
in the above-referenced Exhibit 5-8.
2. Minimum Standards for Radii. Cul-de-sacs serving less than ten (10) residential units
shall have a minimum thirty (30) foot radius bulb at the end. Cul-de-sacs serving ten (10)
or more residential units shall have a minimum forty (40) foot radius bulb at the end.
These minimum bulb radii presume the cul-de-sac is bordered by mountable curb or a
four foot aggregate base course shoulder. In the event that the cul-de-sac is bordered by
a barrier curb,then five (5)feet shall be added to the previously stated minimum radii.
3. Snow Storage. Easements or open space areas of appropriate size to provide adequate
snow storage, as determined by the Eagle County Engineer, shall be located immediately
adjacent to vehicle turnarounds.
4. Temporary Cul-De-Sacs and Turnarounds. Temporary cul-de-sacs or turnarounds may
serve any classification of road, as determined by the County Engineer,to accommodate
continuation of the road to adjoining properties when they are developed. These
temporary cul-de-sacs or turnarounds must accommodate WB-12 design vehicles, and
must be clearly identified as dead end streets through proper signage, in accordance
with the MUTCD. The Local Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction shall provide a
recommendation regarding the use of temporary cul-de-sacs or turnaround.
8.4 TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY
Proposed developments that are expected to generate more than four hundred (400) vehicle trips
per day shall conduct a traffic impact analysis to determine the need for additional improvements
on roadways affected by the proposed development.
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY,COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 31
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121C8A27C4
A. Trip Generation Rates. The basis for projected volumes of traffic shall be the trip
generation rates for various land use categories found in the latest edition of TRIP
GENERATION, published by ITE.
B. Background Traffic Data Not Available. If site specific information on background traffic
for the study area is not available, considering existing zoning, then the Twenty (20) Year
Factor for the closest segment of State Highway published by CDOT, Division of
Transportation Development, Information Management Branch, shall be used to predict
background traffic to be factored into the traffic analysis. In certain instances it may be
necessary to use a combination of existing zoning and CDOT's Twenty(20)Year Factor.
C. Preparation of Analysis. The traffic analysis shall be prepared using industry accepted
standards and practices. It shall be prepared by a Professional Engineer competent in the
field of transportation engineering, and shall include such information as current and
projected background traffic volumes, projected development traffic volumes, calculated
capacity and level of service of existing and proposed roadways and intersections affected
by the development, including warrants for turn lanes, channelization and signalization.
8.5 DESIGN TRAFFIC VOLUME AND DESIGN PERIOD
Key factors in the classification and design of any roadway are the amount (and type)of traffic that
the roadway is expected to carry and the time period for forecasting traffic volumes on the roadway.
A. Design Traffic Volume. Design traffic volume shall be measured as annual average daily
traffic (AADT), except for traffic volumes in excess of four hundred (400) AADT, which shall
use the peak hour design hourly volume(DHV)as the basis for the design period.
B. Design Period. The design period for the design of new and upgraded roadways shall be
twenty(20)years from the forecasted date of completion of the project.
8.6 LEVEL OF SERVICE
Roadways in unincorporated Eagle County shall function at Level of Service "C" or better.
Intersections, both signalized and unsignalized, in unincorporated Eagle County shall function at
Level of Service "D" or better. For purposes of this evaluation, these Levels of Service shall be as
defined in the latest edition of the HIGHWAY CAPACITY MANUAL, published by the Transportation
Research Board. The methodology for computing the Level of Service shall be as specified in the
latest edition of the HIGHWAY CAPACITY MANUAL.
8.7 RIGHT-OF-WAY WIDTH
Minimum right-of-way widths for all classifications of roadways in Eagle County are shown in
Appendix B, Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards. Sufficient right-of-way
shall be provided to contain: travel lanes or driving surfaces; curb and gutter, when required;
shoulders, drainage side ditches and other structures, when curb and gutter is not required;
provisions for snow storage, particularly at higher elevations; utilities; facilities for bicycles and
pedestrians, when required; cut and fill slopes and/or retaining walls; and, as applicable, future
improvements of the roadway.
A. Additional Right-of-Way for Rolling and Mountainous Terrain. The right-of-way widths
set forth in Appendix B, Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards are
the minimum necessary to accommodate roadway construction on level terrain. Additional
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY,COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 32
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
right-of-way shall be provided to accommodate cuts and fills in rolling and mountainous
terrain, considering that the roadway and associated slopes are a structure and should be
structurally independent of development on adjacent property. The additional right-of-way
for cuts and fills and their buffers may be in the form of a dedicated roadway maintenance
easement.
8.8 SIGHT DISTANCE
A. Setbacks. Setbacks for structures, as established in these Land Use Regulations, shall be
measured from the outside edge of the roadway maintenance easement.
B. Compliance With AASHTO Manual. In the design and construction or reconstruction of
roadways in unincorporated Eagle County, sight distance shall be provided that complies
with the latest edition of A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS AND STREETS, Chapter
III, published by AASHTO. Roadways that operate at functional classifications higher than
residential or other low speed urban streets shall also provide sufficient sight distance to
allow drivers to occupy the opposing traffic lane while passing slower vehicles without
hazard to themselves or others.
C. Design Considerations. The greatest impact of providing sufficient sight distance will likely
be on the vertical alignment of the roadway. However, horizontal alignment may also be
affected by requiring flatter curves, in order to avoid sight obstructions due to terrain,
vegetation, or man made features. Roadway design shall take into account the following
design considerations:
1. Sight Distance Restrictions. Where an object off the roadway and within the
right-of-way such as a guardrail, cut slope, or natural growth restricts sight distance, the
minimum radius of horizontal curvature shall be determined by the stopping sight
distance.
2. No Sight Distance Restrictions. Where there is no sight distance restriction within the
right-of-way, the right-of-way line shall be considered to be the restriction. The necessary
stopping sight distance on such horizontal curves may be determined with the aid of
Appendix D, Stopping Sight Distance On Horizontal Curves. When the design speed and
clear distance (M) are known, this figure also provides the minimum centerline radius
that satisfies these conditions.
3. Sight Distance Restrictions At End of Downgrades. Where sight distance restrictions
occur at the end of downgrades, an increase shall be made in the stopping sight distance
in accordance with the values listed in the latest edition of A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC
DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS AND STREETS, Chapter III, Table III-2, published by AASHTO.
4. Sight Distance For Passing. Sight distance adequate for passing should be encountered
frequently, at regular intervals. On roadways with high volumes, frequent and long
passing sections are essential. On roadways with intermediate to low volumes, the need
is not as great, but passing sections are still an important element for efficiency and
safety. Passing sight distance for upgrades shall be greater than the derived minimum.
5. Meeting Sight Distance. Meeting sight distance is the sum of the opposing stopping
sight distances, or two (2) times the values listed for the various design speeds. Meeting
sight distance is encouraged on narrow, low volume roads.

Chapter 8 Page 33

8.9 GEOMETRIC STANDARDS
All roads within unincorporated Eagle County, whether publicly or privately maintained, shall
conform to the design standards and requirements shown in Appendix B, Summary of
Environmental, Geometric and Design Standards.
A. Horizontal Alignment. The following special considerations for horizontal alignment shall
apply to the design and construction or reconstruction of roadways in Eagle County:
1. Compound Curves. The use of compound curves in proposed alignments is strongly
discouraged, due to the potential deception they offer motorists, particularly when
traveling from the larger to the smaller radii.
i. Standards When Compound Curves Are Necessary. If compound curves must be
used to allow the roadway to better fit the existing terrain, then the ratio of the
flatter radius to the sharper radius shall not exceed 1.5:1. Where feasible, a smaller
difference in radii should be used; a desirable maximum ratio is 1.75:1. At
intersections where motorists accept more rapid changes in design and speed, the
radius of the sharper arc can be as high as a ratio of 2:1.
ii. Length. Curves that are compounded should not be too short or their effect in
enabling change from tangent or flat-curve to sharp-curve will be lost.
2. Reversal of Alignment. Any abrupt reversal in alignment should be avoided. Such a
change makes it difficult for a driver to keep within his own lane. It is difficult to
superelevate both curves adequately, and hazardous and erratic operation of the vehicle
may result.
i. Suitable Design. A reversal in alignment can be designed suitably by including a
sufficient length of tangent between the two (2) curves for superelevation runoff, or
preferably, an equivalent length with spiral curves. The distance between reverse
curves should be the sum of the superelevation runoff lengths and the tangent
runout lengths.
ii. Sufficient Distance Not Available. If sufficient distance is not available to permit
the tangent runout lengths to return to normal crown section, there is a long length
where the edges of pavement and centerline are at the same elevation and poor
transverse drainage can be expected. In this case, the tangent runouts may be
eliminated and the superelevation runoffs joined, thus providing one (1)
instantaneous level section.
iii. Tangent Separation Lengths. Desirable and acceptable tangent separation lengths
are shown in Appendix B, Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And Design
Standards. A minimum tangent of fifty (50) feet shall be provided between all
horizontal curves to facilitate steering and control.
3. Curves. The "broken-back" or "flat-back" arrangement of curves (having a short tangent
between two curves in the same direction) should be avoided because most drivers do
not expect succeeding curves to be in the same direction and because in some cases the
"broken-back" alignment will not be pleasing in appearance. Curves will typically not be
considered to be in a "broken-back" arrangement when the connecting tangent is of
considerable length.
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 34
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121C8A27C4
4. Simple and Spiral Curves. Appendix E, Simple Curve, Appendix F, Spiraled Curve, and
Appendix G, Relationship, Simple vs Spiral Curve found in the Appendices hereafter,
illustrate simple and spiral curves,their derivation and function.
5. Travel Lane Widening. To compensate for off-tracking as a vehicle follows a curve (rear
wheels tracking inside the front wheels), travel lane widening shall be provided on
certain classifications of roadway.
i. Standards. Travel lane widening shall occur on the inside edge of the curve only,
with the inside shoulder "kicked" out until a minimum of three (3)feet of shoulder is
left. The amount of travel lane widening to be provided is shown in Appendix C, Lane
Widening On Curves.
ii. Example. For example, if the required width of shoulder is six(6)feet, up to three(3)
of the six (6) feet may be used for inside edge widening. In this example, if four (4)
feet of widening is required the total shoulder width would be seven (7) feet. The
gravel shoulder available for "cutting the curve" becomes less and encourages traffic
to stay on the pavement, and the transition extends over the same length as the
superelevation runoff.
6. Switchbacks. Switchbacks are generally not considered a good roadway design solution,
but may be the only alternative for gaining elevation in mountainous terrain.
i. Minimum Tangent Separation. When switchbacks must be used, each switchback
shall have a tangent separation of not less than two (2)times the minimum stopping
sight distance from the last or next switchback, adjusted for grade in accordance
with the latest edition of AASHTO's A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS
AND STREETS, Chapter Ill, Table III-2., Effect of grade on stopping sight distance - wet
conditions. This is especially important on hillsides, on slopes steeper than twenty
(20) percent, and where visually, switchbacks will create a major impact.
ii. Direct Lot Access. Direct lot access is not permitted on the tangent sections
between switchbacks that are separated by the minimum distance outlined above.
To gain lot access on the tangent section separating the switchbacks there must be
the required minimum sight distance from intersecting streets and driveways from
both switchbacks, as shown in Appendix B, Summary Of Environmental, Geometric
And Design Standards.
iii. Lane Widening. Lane widening for switchback curves shall reflect AASHTO Design
and Traffic Condition III-C. The minimum allowable centerline radius for switchback
curves is shown in Appendix B, Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And Design
Standards. The eighty(80)foot minimum radius is based on the recommendations of
the Model Regulations For Protecting People and Homes From Wildfire in Subdivisions
and Developments promulgated by the Colorado State Forest Service. A review of
multiple-unit vehicle turning radii and pavement width occupation shows that an
eighty (80) foot radius is the minimum radius a large vehicle can make and yet not
occupy more than its own lane, even with travel lane widening on the inside of
curves.
7. Street Pattern.The street pattern in the proposed development shall generally conform
to any adopted County master plan for future development of the adjoining areas.
Proposed streets or roadways within three (3) miles of any incorporated municipality
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 35
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-0O3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
shall conform to the street system and standards or official street plan of said
incorporated municipality.
i. Continuity of Alignment. Where appropriate to the design, the streets shall be
continuous and in alignment with the existing platted streets with which they are to
connect.
ii. Extend to Boundary Lines. Proposed streets shall be extended to the boundary
lines of adjacent land, if the applicable adopted County Master Plan indicates the
adjacent land will be suitable for development, unless the extension is prevented by
topography or other physical conditions.
8. Dual Access. With the exception of properties proposed to be served from the public
roadway system by driveways or by urban cul-de-sacs, two (2) points of ingress/egress to
the public roadway system shall be provided, such that in the event a road within the
subdivision becomes impassable, all properties will continue to have access to a public
roadway system. Both points of access should be open and available for daily use. In the
event that this is not possible, and at a minimum, there shall be provided a secondary
emergency point of ingress/egress equipped with emergency breakaway barriers
capable of accommodating emergency response vehicles commonly operated by the
Local Fire Authority Having Jurisdiction for all new development or redevelopment.
Secondary emergency access points must be kept free of obstruction, and must be
maintained to assure year round use. Depending upon the length of the road, the
wildfire hazard rating, the number of units proposed, the topography and the
recommendation of the Local Fire Authority Having jurisdiction, the Board of County
Commissioners may, at their discretion, grant a variance from this required
improvement standard.
B. Vertical Alignment. The following special considerations for vertical alignment shall apply
to the design and construction or reconstruction of roadways in Eagle County:
1. Terrain Classification.Terrain in Eagle County can be characterized within one(1) of the
following three (3) categories:
i. Level Terrain. Level terrain is that condition where roadway sight distances, as
governed by both horizontal and vertical restrictions, are generally long or could be
made so without construction difficulty or major expense.The average natural cross
slopes on level terrain are less than eight(8) percent.
ii. Rolling Terrain. Rolling terrain is that condition where the natural slopes
consistently rise above and fall below the roadway grade and where occasional steep
slopes offer some restriction to normal horizontal and vertical roadway alignment.
The average natural cross slopes on rolling terrain are between eight(8) percent and
fifteen (15) percent.
iii. Mountainous Terrain. Mountainous terrain is that condition where longitudinal and
transverse changes in the elevation with respect to the roadway are abrupt and
where benching and side hill excavation are frequently required to obtain acceptable
horizontal and vertical alignment. The average natural cross slopes on mountainous
terrain are greater than fifteen (15) percent.
iv. Combination of Terrain Types. A parcel may contain all or any combination of
these terrain types. Terrain that has varying characteristics shall be classified within
the above categories, and shall provide a transition in design speed between each
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 36
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
category in five (5) mph increments, spaced seven hundred-fifty(750)feet apart. Ten
(10) mph increments may be considered for approval by the County Engineer upon
the applicant's demonstration that circumstances warrant. Part of this determination
shall be based on the review of cross sections and cost estimates for both cases
prepared by the applicant's engineer.
2. Maximum Grade. The maximum grade for each classification of roadway in Eagle
County is illustrated in Appendix B, Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And Design
Standards.
i. Ability to Negotiate Grade. A maximum grade of eight (8) percent is generally
negotiable under year-round conditions by two (2) wheel drive vehicles with mud
and snow tires where stopping and starting are not required. Steeper grades may
require four (4) wheel drive and/or studded mud and snow tires under winter snow
and ice conditions.
ii. Maximum Grade in Suburban and Urban Areas. A maximum grade of six (6)
percent is more appropriate for suburban and urban areas, where the frequency of
stopping and starting is increased.
iii. Special Design Considerations. Special design considerations regarding grades are
required for intersections and driveway approaches and on switchback curves (see
subsections 8.9.4.D, Intersections, 8.9.1, Access Approaches and Driveways, and
8.9.A.6, Switchbacks).
iv. Low Volume Roadways. On low volume roadways (AADT of four hundred [400]
vehicles or less) grades may be increased to one hundred-fifty (150) percent of the
stated desirable values in Appendix B, Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And
Design Standards, for a tangent distance not to exceed five hundred (500) feet on
southern facing slopes only, subject to the approval of the County Engineer. There
shall be no access approaches in the segment with the increased grade.
3. Vertical Curves. Vertical curves shall conform to the criteria set forth in the latest
edition of A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS AND STREETS, Chapter III,
published by AASHTO.
i. Grade Breaks. The use of grade breaks, in lieu of vertical curves, is not encouraged.
However, if a grade break is necessary and the algebraic difference in grade does not
exceed four-tenths (0.4) percent when curb and gutter is used, the grade break will
be permitted, except at intersections, where algebraic differences in grade of
eight-tenths (0.8) percent will be permitted to facilitate the warping of the side street
to meet the through street.
ii. Rural Roads. On rural roads not bordered by curb and gutter,vertical curves are not
required when the algebraic difference in grade is one (1) percent or less.
iii. Sag Vertical Curves. The minimum grade within a sag (sump) vertical curve is
one-half (0.5) percent. This will require manual calculations and labeling at the low
point of the sag vertical curve.
4. Cross Slope.
i. Roadways Shall Be Level. Except at intersections, or where superelevation is
required, roadways shall be level, as measured perpendicularly,from top of finished
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY,COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 37
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
edge of pavement to top of finished edge of pavement, or from top of curb to top of
curb when curb and gutter is required and shall have a two (2) percent crown as
measured from centerline to finished edge of pavement, or lip of gutter when curb
and gutter is required, or lip of median curb to lip of outside curb on roadways with
raised center islands. Parabolic or curved crowns are not allowed.
ii. Warped Intersections. Maximum pavement cross slope allowed is four (4) percent
at warped intersections, as measured above. In no case shall the pavement cross
slope at warped intersections exceed the grade of the through street. The rate of
change in pavement cross slope, when warping side streets at intersections, shall not
exceed one (1) percent every twenty-five (25) feet horizontally on low volume
residential roads and streets, one (1) percent every thirty-seven and one-half(37.5)
feet horizontally on suburban and urban residential streets, or one(1) percent every
fifty-six and one-half(56.5)feet horizontally on collector roads and streets.
C. Superelevation. Horizontal curve radius and superelevation shall be in accordance with the
recommendations of the latest edition of AASHTO's A POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF
HIGHWAYS AND STREETS, Chapter III. The following procedure is an outline for the correct
application of superelevation. Further information on this method is available in AASHTO's A_
POLICY ON GEOMETRIC DESIGN OF HIGHWAYS AND STREETS, Chapter III, 1994. Super
Diagrams and Plot Exaggerated Profiles are not mandatory, but may be required by the
County Engineer to evaluate proposed roadways.
1. Horizontal Centerline Radius, Degree of Curvature and Centerline Design Grade.
Establish horizontal centerline radius, degree of curvature and centerline design grade.
Centerline design grade shall be the actual centerline of roadways without raised
medians, or median top of curb, or flowline or lip of median gutter (which shall be level
across the median except at turn lanes) on roadways with raised medians. The method
of attaining superelevations shall be rotation about the centerline on roadways without
raised medians or rotation about the median top of curb on roadways with raised
medians.
2. Rate and Length of Superelevation Runoff. Appendix B, Summary Of Environmental,
Geometric And Design Standards, shall be used to determine the rate of superelevation
and length of superelevation runoff required for the degree of curvature. Superelevation
runoff is that length of roadway needed to accomplish the change in cross slope from a
section with the adverse crown removed (flat) to the fully superelevated section, or vice
versa.
3. Super Diagram. Use the information obtained from Appendix B, Summary Of
Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards, to construct a "super diagram". The
"super diagram" is a design aid used to establish the length of tangent runout required,
and pavement cross-slopes generated through the transition from the normal cross
section to full superelevation, or vice versa. Intervals at which pavement cross slopes are
read shall not exceed twenty-five (25) feet and should be read at even twenty-five foot
(25) stations along centerline (7+25, 7+50, not 7+28.79, 7+53.79). Tangent runout is that
length of roadway needed to accomplish the change in cross slope from a normal (two
[2] percent) crown section to a section with the adverse crown removed (flat), or vice
versa.
Note: The superelevation runoff is located about the horizontal P.C. or P.T. of the curve
at a two-thirds/one-third (2/3:1/3) ratio, with approximately two-thirds (2/3) of the total
length required for the superelevated runoff being achieved prior to the P.C. or after the
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY,COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 38
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-0O3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
P.T. of the curve. The point at which the superelevation runoff begins or ends should be
at the nearest five (5)foot station.
4. Plot Exaggerated Profile. Plot an exaggerated profile of the centerline or median top of
curb using the grade originally established. Next plot both of the outer tops of curb or
flowlines or lips of gutter, setting elevations radial to centerline by using the pavement
cross slopes derived from the super diagram. Smooth the resultant grade of the outer
tops of curb by the use of spline or french curves, if necessary. Read new elevations on
these adjusted grades. Scale for this exaggerated profile shall be one (1) inch equals
twenty-five (25)feet or larger horizontally and one (1) inch equals one (1)foot vertically.
5. Transfer to Normal Scale. Transfer all of the information on the exaggerated profile to
the profile of the construction plan at normal scale.
6. Add Labels and Submit. Label, at each transition point in the plan view of the
construction plan, the name, station, elevation, and rate of superelevation. Also, label
each point by station and elevation where the pavement cross slope is one (1) percent,
either direction, for the purpose of locating inlets to intercept cross pavement drainage
flows if curb and gutter are required. Submit the super diagram(s) and exaggerated
profiles for concurrent review with the public improvement plans.
D. Intersections.The following standards shall apply at intersections:
1. Through Street Takes Precedence. The grade of the "through" street shall take
precedence at all intersections.At intersections of roadways with the same classification,
the more important roadway, as determined by volume of traffic, shall have this
precedence. Warp side streets to match through streets with as an effective and short
transition as possible.
2. Design Factors. Factors that shall determine the elevation of the point of curb or edge
of pavement return on the side street and the amount of warp needed on a side street
transitioning to a through street are:
i. Permissible Grade. Permissible grade in the stop/start lane, as described in Section
8.9.E, Intersection Grade.
ii. Pavement Cross Slope. Pavement cross slope at the Point of Curb Return or
Beginning/End of Curve on the side street and permissible warp in pavement cross
slope, as described in Section 8.9,B.4, Cross Slope.
iii. Vertical Curve Criteria. Normal vertical curve criteria.
iv. Curb Returns. Vertical controls within the curb return itself, as described in Section
8.9.F, Curb Returns.
3. Elevation. The elevation at the P.C.R. of the curb return or B.C. on the through street
shall be set by the grade of the through street in conjunction with normal pavement
cross slope (two(2) percent) or the rate of superelevation.
4. Crown of the Side Street. Carrying the crown of the side street into the through street
is not permitted.

5. Dipping the Flowline. Dipping the flowline to the extent that the lip of gutter is dipped
is not permitted, except as required for a CDOT Type R Curb Inlet, Standard M-604-12.
Tipping an inlet for the benefit of drainage is also not permitted.
6. Major Intersections. At a major collector-major collector intersection, a more detailed
review of the entire intersection's driveability will be required. Few major intersections
will have a uniform two (2) percent cross slope,the majority of them having one or more
sides warped. See Section 8.9.6.4, Cross Slope, for information concerning warping of
pavement at intersections.
7. Curb and Gutter. When curb and gutter is required, separate flowline profiles, and
pavement cross slopes in the plan view may also be required by the County Engineer.
Spot elevations in the intersection shall also be shown, on the plan view, on a fifteen (15)
te plan
foot grid. This information

E. Intersection Grade. The first twenty (20) feet beyond the edge of the traveled way of the
through street, including any necessary speed change lanes, shall slope down and away
from the through street at a grade of two (2) percent. The transition back to the side street
grade shall be accomplished in a minimum fifty(50)foot vertical curve.The maximum grade
at intersections, including private driveway approaches to public roadways, shall be three (3)
percent at flowline or edge of pavement and centerline(stop/start lane shall be as shaded in
Table 8.1, Transition Distances for Permissible Intersection Grades, for the distances shown
in Table 8.1 below. At intersecting major collectors the maximum permissible grade will be

G. Curb Return Profiles. When curb and gutter is called for in Appendix B, Summary Of
Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards, curb return profiles shall be required at
every_curb return in the public way within the proposed development, except on medians, in
accordance with the following design procedure. These profiles are to be used for
construction staking of the curb return. The following information is provided on curb return
profiles:
1. Elevation. Determine the elevation at each P.C.R. of the curb return according to
sub-section 8.9.D, Intersections.
2. Arc Length. Calculate the arc length of the return at its flowline.
3. Flowline Grade. Show the corresponding flowline (or top of curb)grade for the roadway
beyond the return at each P.C.R.
4. Extend Grades Until They Intersect Within the Return. The above corresponding
grades shall be extended until they intersect, somewhere within the return (Appendix I,
Curb Return/Edge of Pavement Profile "A"). The grades may intersect near or outside
either P.C.R., so long as the vertical difference in grades does not exceed two-tenths(0.2)
of a foot at either P.C.R. (Appendix I, Curb Return/Edge of Pavement Profile "B"). In this
case, a line is drawn inside the return and two(2) percent vertical curves are used at the
intersections. It may be necessary to revise the grade of the intersecting side street to
obtain an acceptable curb return profile (Appendix K, Curb Return/Edge of Pavement
Profile "C"), however, the "through" street is never warped to facilitate this. See Section
8.9.D, Intersections.
5. Vertical Curves and Elevations. Vertical curves within the return may be drawn in with
french or railroad curves. Elevations of at least two points between each P.C.R., at
spacing not to exceed fifteen (15) feet shall then be shown in the profile. These points
shall be evenly spaced between the P.C.R.'s so as to divide the arc length of the curb
return at flowline into equal segments. The elevation and location of the high or low
point within the return, if applicable, is to be called out in the profile and on the plan
view.
6. Scale. Scale for the curb return profile shall be one (1) inch equals ten (10) feet
horizontally and one(1) inch equals one (1)foot vertically.
Note: Separate flowline or edge of pavement profiles are required as the basis for
design at bubbles, cul-de-sacs or horizontal curves when the vertical grade is less than
one (1) percent and other departures from normal roadway cross sections, i.e., the
pavement cross slope is not two (2) percent, and for at least two hundred (200)feet from
all intersections.
H. Clear Vision Areas. A clear vision area shall be maintained on the corners of all properties
at all roadway intersections, including railroad crossings, so that intersection sight distances
as specified in Appendix B, Summary Of Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards,
are provided.
1. Prohibited Structures. A clear vision area shall contain no planting, fence, wall, sign,
utility appurtenance, structure or other obstruction, temporary or permanent, exceeding
thirty (30) inches in height, as measured from the top of the curb, or in the absence of
curb and gutter, from the finished grade of the centerline of the street. Traffic control

devices required by, and installed in accordance with, the MUTCD, or Colorado
Supplement thereto, are exempt from this provision.
2. Applicant is Responsible. It shall be the applicant's responsibility, through the
applicant's engineer, to ensure that the necessary clear vision area is provided in the
layout and design of the development and is carried through during construction.
I. Access Approaches and Driveways.
1. Findings. Control of access to public streets and roads is an area of increasing concern,
since roads are rarely being built or upgraded fast enough to accommodate increases in
traffic.The proliferation of access points and driveways along major local roads and state
highways impairs the ability of such roads to efficiently carry traffic. Effective control of
access can enhance the carrying capacity and safety of most roadways by reducing the
opportunity for turning movements both to and from a major roadway. In addition,
elimination of turning movements can decrease the need for acceleration and
deceleration lanes.
2. State Design Standards. Pursuant to C.R.S. § 43-2-147(1)(a), access approaches to
roadways under the jurisdiction of Eagle County must meet the Design Standards found
in Sections Three and Four of the Colorado State Highway Access Code, 2 CCR 601-1 (the
Code). In addition, those parcels directly accessing highways under the jurisdiction of the
Colorado Department of Transportation shall be required to obtain a State Highway
Access Permit pursuant to the above-referenced Code. Eagle County is the Issuing
Authority for such permits and should be contacted initially for the application and
further information in obtaining State Highway Access Permits.
3. Additional County Standards. In addition to the foregoing, public and private access
approaches and driveways shall be subject to the following standards:
i. Access By Emergency and Service Vehicle. All dwellings and other structures shall
be accessible by emergency and service vehicles. A maximum grade of eight (8)
percent and a minimum centerline radius of forty-five (45) feet is recommended for
driveways on north-facing slopes. On south-facing slopes, a maximum grade of ten
(10) percent and a minimum centerline radius of forty-five(45)feet is recommended.
Curves should be widened generously in both circumstances.
Unless otherwise approved by the Local Fire Authority Having jurisdiction, public and
private access approaches and driveways in excess of 150 feet in length shall be
provided with adequate area for emergency vehicle turnaround in close proximity to
the residence or structure served.Access approaches and driveways in excess of 300
feet in length shall provide an area adequate for emergency vehicle turnarounds in
close proximity to the residence or structure served, and shall also provide vehicle
turnouts where the driveway is expanded to be at least 18 feet wide at 150 foot
intervals. Alternatively, the private access or driveway may be designed to
accommodate two-way traffic. Turnarounds shall be constructed in accordance with
Section 8.3.K,Vehicle Turnarounds.
ii. Driveways in Mountainous Terrain. Proposed developments on lots with
mountainous terrain may require the preliminary layout and design of the individual
driveways at the preliminary plan stage, and the precise design of the driveway at
the final plan stage, to assure that access can be provided to each dwelling unit
served by the driveway in compliance with the standards of this Chapter.
ENGINEERING CRITERIA MANUAL EAGLE COUNTY, COLORADO
Chapter 8 Page 42
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121C8A27C4
iii. Driveways Requiring Significant Cuts and/or Fills Discouraged. Driveways that
require significant cuts and/or fills are discouraged. Applicants are encouraged to
relocate development to areas within the proposed development where such cuts
and fills are not required. Where significant grading and/or retaining walls or other
structures may be necessary, the applicant may be required to identify a precise
building envelope and construct the driveway that will serve that envelope, at the
discretion of the Board of County Commissioners, considering the advice of the
County Engineer. In extraordinary cases, driveways may be considered public
improvements and thus collateralized, constructed and subject to the terms and
conditions of the other public improvements in the development.
iv. Driveways Shall Not Serve More than Three Units. Driveways shall not serve more
than three (3) dwelling units, unless specified otherwise in these Regulations. Any
residence having an accessory dwelling unit shall be counted as one(1)unit.
v. Clearance From Intersections. Driveways shall be restricted for a sufficient
distance from any intersection with road approaches to preserve normal and safe
movement of traffic. Driveways shall provide the following intersection clearances,
exclusive of driveway and intersection return radii or flares. In rural and suburban
areas, a minimum intersection clearance of fifty (50) feet shall be provided for
residential driveways and a minimum intersection clearance of one hundred (100)
shall be provided for commercial driveways. In urban areas, a minimum intersection
clearance of twenty (20) feet shall be provided for residential and commercial
driveways, due to the expectation that dedicated turn lanes for the driveways will be
present. In the event there are no dedicated turn lanes, then the minimum twenty
(20) foot intersection clearance may be extended, at the direction of the County
Engineer.
vi. Maximum Number of Entryways. Generally, no more than one (1) entryway shall
be allowed for any parcel of property where the frontage is less than one hundred
(100) feet. Additional entrances or exits for parcels of property having a frontage in
excess of one hundred (100) feet shall be permitted only when the applicant
demonstrates they are required for actual convenience and necessity, and that
safety to the traveling public will not be compromised.
vii. Not Encroach. All driveways shall be located so that the flared portion adjacent to
the traveled way shall not encroach upon adjoining property.
viii. Intersection With Other Roadways. Road approaches shall intersect other
roadways at ninety (90) degrees for a tangent distance of one hundred (100) feet
from the centerline intersections. At intersections with major collectors this distance
shall be increased to two hundred (200) feet. Driveways shall intersect the edge of
the traveled way at ninety (90) degrees. This alignment shall be maintained within
the public way. Beyond the right-of-way line onto the adjacent property, permissible
axis angles of driveways in relationship to the right-of-way line shall be between
ninety(90) and sixty(60)degrees.
ix. Maximum Width. Commercial driveways shall not exceed thirty-five (35) feet in
width, as measured at right angles to the centerline of the driveway, except as
increased by return radii at the edge of the traveled way. Residential driveways shall
not exceed twenty-four(24)feet in width, measured in the same manner.

Chapter 8 Page 43
Ili
Docusign Envelope ID:890D74F8-CO3F-4C96-A6F3-37121 C8A27C4
x. Radii. Permissible radii on driveway returns shall be governed by such factors as the
width of drive and angular placement. Where the flared edge of an approach
controls the turning radius of a vehicle entering the property by a right turn from the
adjacent outside traffic lane of the roadway, the radius of that edge shall not be less
than twenty (20) feet for passenger vehicles and not less than fifty (50) feet where
single unit or larger trucks may be expected to use the entrance and the traffic
volume on the adjacent road exceeds four hundred (400)AADT.
J. Connections With Existing Roadways. Connections with existing roadways shall be smooth
transitions, conforming to normal vertical curve or grade break criteria. When a vertical
curve is used to make this transition, it shall be fully accomplished prior to the connection
with the existing roadway.
1. Existing Grades. Existing grades shall be shown for at least three hundred (300) feet,
with field verified as-built showing stations and elevations at fifty (50) foot intervals in
level terrain and twenty-five (25) foot intervals in rolling and mountainous terrain. For a
connection with an existing intersection, these as-builts shall be shown within a three
hundred (300) foot radius of the intersection. This information shall be included in the
plan and profile of the proposed roadway.
2. Plan View. Limits and characteristics of the existing improvements shall be shown in the
plan view. Such characteristics include horizontal alignment, off-site intersections, limits
of the improvements, and similar factors.
3. Previously Approved Designs. Previously approved designs for the existing
improvement are not an acceptable means of establishing existing grades, however, they
shall be referenced, on the construction plans,where they occur.
4. Basis of As-Built Elevations. The basis of the as-built elevations shall be the same as
the design elevations(both flowline and top of curb or edge of pavement).
K. Off-Site Design. The design grade, and existing ground at that design grade, of all roadways
that dead end due to project phasing, subdivision boundaries or similar factors shall be
continued, as necessary, in the same plan and profile as the proposed design, for at least
three hundred (300) feet or to the intersection with a major collector roadway. This
requirement shall be waived when there is no possibility of the roadway being extended in
the future in accordance with sub-section 8.9.A.7,.g Street Pattern.
1. Applicant Is Responsible For Transition. If the off-site roadway, adjacent to the
proposed development is not fully improved, the applicant shall be responsible for the
design and construction of a transition for the safe conveyance of traffic from his
improved section to the existing roadway.
2. Road Shall Be Extended. The improved section of road shall be extended to the
boundary of the proposed development, as outlined in sub-section 8.9.A.7, Street
Pattern, with the transition being constructed "beyond"the proposed development onto
the existing road. The following formula shall be applied to the taper or lane change
necessary for this transition:
L=WS2/60
where:
L = Length of transition in feet
W=Width of offset in feet

C. Grades. 1% to 2% maximum grade recommended. Sections over 5% grade and
under 500 feet long may be acceptable if wider trail width is provided. 10% is the
maximum allowed in very short distances of trail.
D. Drainage. Sloping in one direction at an optimum of 2%, or up to 5% on curves, is
preferred over crowning to provide drainage. Hillside trails shall incorporate
drainage swales on the uphill side to intercept downhill drainage. Catch basis and
culverts may be necessary. Drainage structures such as grates and covers shall be
located off of the trail.
E. Trail Easement. All trails which will become part of the County regional trail system
as determined through the development process, or which maintain, replace or
create trail connections to public land shall be platted as public easements, unless
located and approved in the public road right-of-way. Easements shall be to the
County for use by the public.
F. Public Improvements. Said trails or paths shall be considered public improvements
and shall be collateralized, constructed and subject to terms and conditions of the
other public improvements in the development.
G. Public Lands Access. As part of any development proposal that is adjacent to public

development process.
H. Private Trails. Trails which are contained within a subdivision and are for the
exclusive use of its residents shall be designed in accordance with these criteria,with
the exception that width of path may be reduced if it is determined that with a
combination of trails and attached sidewalks, adequate pedestrian facilities will be
provided.
9.2 SIDEWALK STANDARDS
A. Minimum Width. When sidewalks are called for in Appendix B, Summary Of
Environmental, Geometric And Design Standards, the minimum width shall be four

of the land that will contain or convert to more dwelling units, additional uses, or floor space than
the most intensive legal use of the land within the twelve (12) months prior to the Commencement
of Traffic-Generating Development in a manner that increases the generation of vehicular traffic.
Traffic-Generating Development, Commencement of, occurs upon the issuance of a Building
Permit or other applicable approval process, on a lot or other parcel of land for which transportation
impact fees have not previously been determined and paid.
Trail Impact Fee means new growth's proportionate share of funding for growth-related
transportation capital facilities to facilitate the movement of people along linear paths that are

10.2 TIME OF FEE OBLIGATION AND PAYMENT
A. After May 15, 2001, upon the Commencement of Traffic-Generating Development within
unincorporated areas of Eagle County, a Transportation Impact Fee shall be imposed on
each Lot (or other portion) of the development. The amount of the fee shall be determined
and paid to the Impact Fee Administrator at the time of issuance of a Building Permit for the
development, or other associated actions of Eagle County having the effect of permitting the
development of land. The obligation to pay the impact fee shall run with the land, and,
therefore, the unpaid obligation to pay fees passes with title for purposes of these
regulations. -No Building Permit will be issued or other land use activity requiring Eagle
County approval will commence until all fees due hereunder with respect to the Lot or parcel
of land which is the subject of the Building Permit application or, other applicable approval
process have been paid in full. If any credits are due pursuant to this Section 10.6, Credits,
they shall also be determined at the time of issuance of a Building Permit for the
development, or other associated actions of Eagle County having the effect of permitting the
development of land. The Transportation Impact Fee shall be computed separately for the
amount of construction activity covered by the Building Permit, if the Building Permit is for
less than the entire development. If the Transportation Impact Fee is imposed for a
Traffic-Generating Development that increases traffic impact because of a change in use,the
Transportation Impact Fee shall be determined by computing the difference in the fee
schedule between the new Traffic-Generating Development and the Existing
Traffic-Generating Development. The obligation to pay the Transportation Impact Fee shall
run with the land.
