Manson, P.E. - Director Bruce G. Mills, P.E. - Assistant Director 5280 Northwest Drive, Suite C Bellingham, WA 98226 MEMO TO: The Honorable Pete Kremen, County Executive, and Honorable Members of the Whatcom County Council FROM: Bruce Mills, County Road Engineer o i DATE: January 30, 2001 '" SUBJECT: Proposed Acceptance of a Portion of Zander Drive as a County Road Background: Whatcom County accepted the first V2 mile of Zander Drive, south of East Smith Road, as a county toad by Ordinance No. 97 -070. At that time, a portion of the second phase of Zander Drive was also petitioned to become a county road, but it was not completed for acceptance at the time that the first V2 mile was accepted. Since that time, more sections of Zander Drive have been completed, to county road standards, and the owners are desirous to have this additional 0.6 miles accepted as a county road. Recommendation: We recommend that the County Council declare its intention to establish a portion of Zander Drive as a public road, from V2 mile south of East Smith Road for approximately an additional 0.6 miles, and direct the County road engineer to report upon such proposed project. Adjacent property owners along the new proposed section of Zander Drive have donated a 60 -foot wide right -of -way, subject to approval as a county road. The roadway has already been brought up to current county road standards. Requested Action: We request that the Council declare, by resolution, its intention to establish a portion of Zander Drive as a County road, and direct the county road engineer to prepare a report and ordinance for Council and public consideration. Should you have questions, please contact Bruce Mills at x 50627. Thank you.
