State 'road rule' taking effect July 1 could force permits for long driveways and outlying development

The full story
Julie Ireland and board members reviewed the impending state 'road rule' that will take effect July 1 and could significantly change development patterns. Ireland explained, “And the road rule for tier 2 says, if you're in a build on there and your driveway is gonna be more than 800 feet, or if you make a road with driveways off of it that equals more than 2,000 feet, so if you're doing a development like Jane did, then you gotta go through and get a permit from the state.”
