Carbon County has provided information regarding the Class 1 Road Enrolment Application process for projects affecting or altering the shoulder of existing county roadways. This application is required for the connection of residential driveways, parking areas, culverts, or other similar structures.
The application requires a $50.00 fee, though this fee is not required if the project is connected to an active New Home Building Permit. Applicants must provide specific location data, including either a physical address or exact GPS coordinates, as the application cannot be processed without one of these identifiers.
Required details for the application include the description of the proposed encroachment, its dimensions, and the type of backfill material to be used. Additionally, applicants must provide a start date and an end date for the project.
The process involves several layers of documentation and oversight. Applicants may need to provide a copy of a bond and liability insurance information if applicable. By signing the application, the applicant guarantees that any proposed improvements or construction will be completed according to the specifications in the application.
Upon acceptance by the road supervisor, the applicant agrees that if the work is not completed to satisfaction, the County or another competent contractor may complete the work and charge the costs to the applicant.
The review process involves the Supervisor conferring with Planning and Zoning and other affected agencies during the preliminary phases. The Supervisor is expected to either grant or deny the application within five to ten working days. If an application is denied, the applicant will receive written reasons for the decision and may submit an amended application at any time.
