Town of Friday Harbor seeks public input on revised design standards

The Town of Friday Harbor shares the following update on their revised Public Works Engineering & Design Standards.

The public is invited to learn about and comment on the updated Public Works Engineering & Design Standards at the Town Council meeting on Thursday, April 7 at 12 p.m.

The Town has updated the Street & Storm Drainage Standards and the Water System & Sewer System Extension Requirements for development in Friday Harbor. These documents are now incorporated into one document, the Public Works Engineering Design Standards. Creating one document with permitting requirements, variance requirements and development standards will help facilitate the review and permitting process.

The objectives for updating the Standards are:

• Provide a user-friendly document.
• Provide a clear administrative process for permitting and project closeout.
• Update design criteria and typical details to reflect current code, land use plans and Town preferences.
• Add design criteria and details for new topics (i.e., bike ways, low impact development and illuminations).
• Provide guidance on locally produced materials.

Comments and concerns regarding the Standards can also be forwarded to the Town by contacting Amy Taylor, Town Clerk at 360-378-2810 or [email protected].
