Submitted by The Town of Friday Harbor.

The public is invited to learn about and comment on the updated Public Works Engineering & Design Standards. The Town Council meeting will be held on Thursday, April 7, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. in the Town Council Chambers located at 60 Second Street.

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 (“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.

The Public Works Engineering & Design Standards are available on the Town’s website.

The public is encouraged to give feedback. Comments and concerns regarding the Standards can also be forwarded to the Town by contacting Amy Taylor, Town Clerk at 378-2810 or emailing amyt@fridayharbor.org.
