CITY OF BAINBRIDGE ISLAND DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS
SECTION 6
SITE ACCESS
6 -01 GENERAL
Access to State Highways is regulated by the Washington State Department of Transportation ('WSDOT).
The property owner desiring access to a state highway is responsible to coordinate with WOOT for
satisfactory completion of any requirements.
Access to public and private roads is regulated by the City of Bainbridge Island through the Road Approach
Permit process. No construction of access points or related improvements will be allowed without a valid
Road Approach Permit, Permits will be evaluated and issued rased on the ability of the proposed access or
use to meet these standards.
If a proposed property access point cannot meet these standards, the city engineer may designate one or
more access points based on traffic safety, operational needs, and conformance to as many of the
requirements of these standards as possible.
Access points for parking or leading areas shall be designed so that backing maneuvers from or onto a
Public street right- of=way will not occur. This does not apply to single family or duplex residential uses on
non - arterial roads..
Where necessary for the safe and efficient movement of txaffic, the city engineer may require investigation
by the applicant to determine whether access points should be designed too limit turning movements. The
city engineer may also require joint access and circulation agreements between neighboring properties to
further provide safe and efficient movement of traffic.
Temporary access may be granted to undeveloped property prior to completion of a final development plan
if access is needed for construction of preliminary. site access. Temporary access points are subject to
removal, relocation, or redesign after final development plan approval.
Secondary access for emergency vehicles may be required for certain high volume or public safety sensitive
developments. They shall be designed to the satisfaction of tite city engineer based on review by the
Bainbridge Island Fire Marshal.
No relocation, alteration or reconstruction of existing access points is permitted without prior written
approval from the city engineer.
i Revised July 2001
Section 6 -
'CITY OF BAINBRIDGE ISLAND DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS
SITE ACCESS
-02 CONSTRUCTION OF ACCESS POINTS
The construction of all access points involving removal of existing vertical curb or vertical curb and gutter
shall conform to this section.
When cutting through or crossing vertical curbs, gutters and sidewalks, access approaches must extend from
the curb to back of sidewalk and be of Portland Cement Concrete.
When an opening for an access or for any other purpose is to be constructed through an existing Portland
Cement Concrete vertical curb, the existing curb, or curb and gutter, shall be saw cut at the limits of work
or removed to the nearest construction joint and the opening replaced with standard curb and driveway,
Existing street trees, street lights, traffic signal facilities, utility poles, and fire hydrants must be shown on
any plan for access point construction in an area of existing vertical curb.
Prior to commencing any necessary removal or relocation of any public utilities, due to construction of an
access point, the applicant/developer must secure approval from the agency having ownership or control of
such facilities or features.
6-03 LOCATION OF ACCESS POINTS
lee Standard Drawing 6 -010.
Where a property has frontage on more than one roadway, access will generally be limited to the lowest
volume roadway where the impacts of a new access will be minimized. Access onto other higher volume
roads may be denied in the interest of traffic safety or in order to lessen congestion on the higher volume
road.
Access points for commercial or industrial property uses should be placed directly opposite each other
wherever possible. If this is not possible, a separation between the nearest edges of such opposite access
points shall be as close to the spacing as shown on Standard Drawing 6 -010 as possible. When such spacing
cannot be attained, the city engineer may require investigation to substantiate whether or not left turns
should be prohibited into or out of the access point.
Access to commercial or industrial use corner lots shall be located on the lower volume roadway and as
close as practicable to the property line most distant from the intersection.
No portion of an access will be permitted within a radius - return.
The nearest edge of any access radius must be at least 3 feet from the nearest point of a fire hydrant no
parking zone, utility pole, traffic signal installation or light standard, mailbox cluster or other similar
appurtenance.
Revised 7uly 2001 Section 6 - Page 2
CITY OF BAINBRIDGE ISLAND DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS
SITE ACCESS
6-04 CORNER CLEARANCE FROM INTERSECTIONS
See Standard Drawing 6 -020.
Standard Drawing 6 -020, Comer Clearances, shall be used to determine comer clearances from access
points for residential, commercial or industrial property uses fronting arterial and non - arterial streets
operating; at various speeds under signalized or stop sign traffic control. The following conditions also
apply:
For rural and other high -speed (45 mph or greater) roads, corner clearances on the order of two times as
great as those shown on Standard Drawing 6 -020 are desirable.
In cases where comer clearances are not attainable because property frontages are narrow, a minimum
corner clearance of 50 feet or as close to 50 feet as possible shall be maintained. When minimum comer
clearances cannot be attained, the city engineer may require investigation to substantiate whether or not left
turns should be prohibited into or out of the access point.
For access points near stop or signalized intersections the city engineer may require studies to determine
whether stopping queues will block the access point.
6-05 ACCESS POINT SEPARATION OR SPACING
) See Standard Drawing 6 -010.
Where two or more access points serve adjacent residential property uses, the minimum distance between
nearest edges of access points (not including flares or radii) must be at least 10 feet.
Where two or more access points serve the same or adjacent commercial or industrial property uses, the
minimum distance shall be as shown on Standard Drawing 6 -010, Commercial/Industrial Access Point
Spacing. Desirable access point spacing for arterials is 200 feet or more.
In cases where the minimum access point spacing as shown on Standard Drawing 6 -010 are not obtainable
due to narrow existing property frontages, the access point spacing shall be as close to the required spacing
as possible. In these cases, the city engineer may require investigation to substantiate whether or not left
turns should be prohibited into or out of the access point.
Provisions for joint access may be required -for two adjacent developments where a proposed new access
will not meet the spacing requirements of this chapter or to limit the number of access points on collectors
or arterials. In 'the event the adjacent property is not ready for development, the first property ready for
development may use an interim access.
Revised July 2001 Section 6 - Page 3
CITY OF BAINBRIDGE ISLAND DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS
SITE ACCESS
6-06 NUMBER OF ACCESS POINTS
The standard number of access points for a development are:
1. Residential property uses - one two -way access point.
2. Commercial or Industrial property uses - one two -way access point or two one -way access
points per 500 feet of total property frontage.
Additional access points, for residential property uses, may be considered by the city engineer provided a
plan is submitted to the city engineer indicating that more than one access point is required to adequately
handle specific sit conditions, and will not be detrimental to traffic flow on adjacent roads.
Additional access points, for commercial or industrial property uses, may be considered by the city engineer
provided a development or circulation plan is submitted to the city engineer indicating that more than the
maximum number of access points permitted are required to adequately handle access point volumes, and
will not be detrimental to traffic flow on adjacent roads.
Commercial or industrial developments located adjacent to two or more roadways may be allowed more
than one access point per 500 feet if comer clearances as required in Standard Drawing 6 -020 are met.
For large developments, it is often desirable to consolidate access traffic at a single point which can be
ignalized. Proposed signalization must meet appropriate warrants in the MUTCD. Access point signals
should be coordinated with adjacent traffic signals and located to provide satisfactory signal progression for
through traffic.
When property frontages are narrow, such that minimum access point spacing criteria cannot be met, it may
be necessary to require joint access locations at property lines.
The requirements of this section are not intended to override the need for a secondary access for emergency
vehicles if such access has been determined by the Fire Marshal to be necessary under the provisions of
Section 10.207 of the Uniform Fire Code,
6-07 ACCESS POINT TYPES, RADII AND WIDTHS
See Standard Drawings 6 -030, 8 -120, 8 -130, 8 -140 through 8 -170
A. DRIVEWAYS
Revised July 2001 _ Section 6 - Page 4
CITY OF BAINBRIDGE ISLAND DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS
SITE ACCESS
1 In areas requiring cement concrete curb and gutter, new private property access points will require
1 the installation of Drop Curb Driveways as shown on Standard Drawings 8 -120, 8 -130, and 8 -140.
B. RADIUS- RETURNS
Radius - retums will be required for access points when specified in Standard Drawing 6 -030, Access
Point Types, Radii and Widths, and whenever islands are constructed in the access point to control
turning movements.
C. ASPHALT OR CEMENT CONCRETE APPROACHES
In areas where curbing is not a requirement, asphalt or cement concrete approaches shall be used as
shown in Standard Drawings 8 -150 through 8 -180.
D. NOTES - STANDARD DRAWING 6 -030
For access points with an anticipated usage of less than 2000 VPD (Vehicles Per Day), drop
curb driveways (Standard Drawings 8 -120, 8 -130 or 8 -140) for curbed areas or asphalt or
concrete approaches (Standard Drawings 8 -150 through 8 -180) for shouldered areas must be
used.
2. Street intersections must utilize radius - returns if the daily traffic volume is 2000 VPD or
greater.
Larger access point radii (typically between 40 and 50 feet but possibly as much as 70 feet)
may be required for access points when multi -unit vehicles or single unit vehicles exceeding
30 feet in length comprise 10% or greater of the traffic expected to use the access point.
In designing these larger vehicle access points, methodology as contained in the WSDOT
Design Manual, Chapter 920, Road Approaches, particularly Figure 920 -2b, entitled
Commercial Approach - Single Approach Type D will be used as a guide, keeping in mind
the following:
a. If a commercial or industrial access point is going to have significant number of both
trucks and passenger cars, then consideration shall be given to separating trucks from
passenger cars. This would entail separating both access points and site circulation.
b. Vehicles should be able to utilize radius -return access points without encroaching on
adjacent lanes of traffic.
Revised July 2001 Section 6 - Page 5
CITY OF BAINBRIDGE ISLAND DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS
SITE ACCESS
E. WIDTHS
The maximum two -way access point width shall be 30 feet for residential property uses
(single family or duplex) and 40 feet for commercial property uses, except, the maximum
two-way access point width for industrial property uses may be 50 feet. Wider commercial
or industrial widths may be approved by the city engineer where a substantial percentage of
oversized vehicles traffic exists. In this case, the access should be sized to accommodate the
largest design vehicle likely to use the access with considerable frequency.
2. Residential access points shall have a minimum width of 10 feet. Commercial or Industrial
access points shall have a minimum width of 25 feet fronting a non - arterial, and 30 feet
fronting an arterial.
3. One -way access point widths for commercial or industrial access points may range from 20
to 22 feet.
6-08 HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT OF ACCESS POINTS
All access points shall be angled a minimum of 75 degrees to the street, 90 degrees preferred, unless
designated right turn only in which case the angle must be at least 45 degrees and then only with the city
igineer's approval. EXCEPTION: Access points designed for large vehicles shall be angled a minimum
of 85 degrees to the street.
6-09 VERTICAL ALIGNMENT OF ACCESS POINTS
See Standard Drawing 6 -040.
Back edges of access points shall be at the same elevation as the back of the sidewalk adjacent to the access
point approach. EXCEPTION: The city engineer may allow a deviation from this requirement for a reverse
slope driveway situation if the applicant/developer can demonstrate such a deviation will allow a safe sight
distance to be maintained.
Approach grades and configuration shall accommodate future street widening to prevent major access point
reconstruction.
For maximum access grades, see Standard Drawing 6 -040, Access Point Grades.

CITY OF BAINBRIDGE ISLAND DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS
SITE ACCESS
6-10 LEFT TURN, ACCELERATION, DECELERATION LANES
The need for left turn, acceleration and deceleration lanes in conjunction with development proposals will
be determined by the city engineer on a case -by -case basis. Evaluation by the city engineer may require
submittal of traffic data by the applicant/developer,
6-11 MEDIANS
The necessity for median treatment in conjunction with development proposals will be determined by the
city engineer on a case -by -case basis.
6-12 TRANSIT STOPS
See Standard Drawing 6 -050.
Generally, bus pullouts will be specified if (1) traffic and passenger boarding and debarking conditions
warrant; (2) traffic flow would be greatly hindered due to in lane stopping;' or (3) the posted speed limit is
in excess of 35 mph.
A. LOCATIONS FOR BUS PULLOUTS
Placement of Bus Pullouts on the far side of signalized intersections immediately following
the intersection is preferred. When no signalized intersection exists, the pullout should be
placed on the far side of the intersection. Sight distance shall be determined by consulting
Table 7.1 for'all roads. Distance between pullouts should not be greater than 1000 feet.
2. If far side pullouts are not possible, near side pullouts will be evaluated. Mid -block pullouts
are generally discouraged.
Bus pullouts should be constructed on both sides of a two -way street in a complementary
pair if possible.
4, Maintaining adequate separation between access point/intersections and bus pullouts can
increase the safety and efficiency of both the roadway and the transit service.
Revisod July 2001 Section 6 - Page 7
CITY OF BAIMRIDGE ISLAND DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS AND SPECIFICATIONS
SITE ACCESS
5. When locating a bus pullout in reference to existing access points or an access point in
reference to an existing bus pullout, the following guidelines need to be taken into
consideration;
a. A minimum distance of 105 feet, 125. feet preferred, should be maintained between
the pullout and the access point on arterial roadways and a minimum of 55 feet, 75
feet preferred, on non - arterial roads. This distance is measured from the edge of the
access point to the front or back of the transit vehicle, whichever end is closer.
b. Driveways within the limits of a bus pullout are discouraged. Any exception to this
requirement will require approval by the city engineer.
B. DESIGN OF BUS PULLOUTS
Bus pullouts should be designed as depicted in Standard Drawing 6-050. All pullout designs must
follow applicable guidelines for facilities used by the handicapped (Americans With Disabilities
Act). The Community Transit Systems Planning Office should be contacted for specific design
questions.
