Tax Lot 3600 currently does not have access to Hillsboro-Silverton Highway. A Grant of Access is required to allow Tax Lot 3600 to use the existing private approach at the subject location. ODOT reserves the right to grant access to a state highway for a private approach when all the conditions of Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) [PHONE REDACTED](3) are met. A key condition is whether the Grant of Access will benefit the state highway system. ODOT has determined that the Grant of Access can benefit the state highway system if traffic movements for the private approach are restricted to only allow right turns off Hillsboro-Silverton Highway, prohibiting right turns onto the highway. Based on the above finding, a Grant of Access can be approved provided you agree to the following conditions: 1. Traffic movements for the private approach at the subject location shall only allow right turns off Hillsboro- Silverton Highway. All other traffic movements shall be restricted. 2. Traffic from Tax Lot 3700 shall be allowed to cross Tax Lot 3600 to access Oregon Way. 3. Decisions regarding the character or type of traffic control devices to be used on the subject highway are subject to the delegated authorities of the State Traffic Engineer according to OAR [PHONE REDACTED]. When a Grant of Access is conditionally approved, it is necessary for the applicant to purchase the appraised value of the Grant of Access in accordance with OAR [PHONE REDACTED](12). To complete the process and move ahead with the Grant of Access, please contact Casey Knecht at [PHONE REDACTED] to confirm acceptance of the grant conditions. The ODOT region and/or district office will work with ODOT’s Property Management Unit to convey the Grant of Access. If you have any questions on the process, please contact Casey Knecht at [PHONE REDACTED]. Sincerely, Michael Kimlinger, P.E.
