MEMO TO: The Honorable Pete Kremen, County Executive, and
Honorable Members of the Whatcom County Council
FROM: Bruce Mills, County Road Engineer
DATE: October 12, 2000
SUBJECT: REPORT OF THE COUNTY ROAD ENGINEER ON JUDY WAY
In accordance with RCW 36.81, we have reviewed the portion of Judy Way, from Deer Creek
Drive to West Axton Road, for inclusion into the County Road System as a public mad. Our
findings am as follows:
1. Public Necessity. We find this portion of Judy Way, a private road, to be significantly
impacted by public vehicular traffic, due to it being directly connected on each end to Deer
Creek Drive and West Axton Road, which are both public roads. The adjacent property owners
cannot afford to properly maintain the roadway, given the heavy volume of public traffic on it.
Closing the roadway is not a recommended option, due to negative impacts to regular and
emergency vehicle access, and the expense of constructing proper dead-end turnarounds.
2. Right -of -Way. We find that the current 16 -foot wide right -of -way needs to be widened. The
adjacent property owners abutting Judy Way on the east side are willing to donate an additional
14 feet of frontage to achieve a 30 -foot wide right -of -way. Deeds were prepared by our office
and have been signed, and will be accepted by the County, subject to favorable consideration
by the County Council of acceptance of said road.
3. Road Width. We find that the existing 15 -foot wide paved mad needs to be widened.
Whatcom County widen the paved road to 22 feet wide, identical to adjoining Deer
Creek Drive, and take over the maintenance of the road.
The Whatcom County Public Works Department accordingly recommends acceptance and
establishment of a portion of Judy Way, from Deer Creek Drive to West Axton Road, for inclusion
into the County Road System as a public road.
