NOTE: Starting from the 1/1/2022 this department will require finished and accepted access for signing the Project Routing (First routing sheet)
After you Apply for Road Access Permit
It is required to give us notice regarding your access construction start date.
You can do that trough OpenGov Access Construction Start Notice Link.
After you give us Access Construction Start Notice, final inspection will be scheduled in two weeks.
If you finish construction before two week timeline, you can request final inspection by submitting Access Construction Certification(need to be submitted before final inspection), after completion of construction.
If you are not able to finish the work in the two weeks, it is required to apply for the Access Construction Time Extension thought OpenGov portal.
If you have valid reason to request time extension, we will accommodate your request.
Are they Road access and Driveway the same ?
No.
Our interest is only Road access.
Driveway is located between road access and garages (example).
Road access is much shorter and is located from the edge of the road towards to the property.
The most common road access for residential area is 5 feet.
The role of the road accesses is to stabilize and preserve roads in order to provide public with the highest possible level of service on Pueblo County road network .
Existing access
In the case of an existing access when official records about the project do not exist, access inspections will be performed.
If you are applying for the registration of Existing Access Permit for access onto a Pueblo County maintained road you will need to apply and submit A PLOT PLAN (drawn to scale) showing all existing accesses, distances of road accesses from edge of property, width of the accesses, the property boundary, road name, all existing and proposed buildings/improvements, and road right-of-way location.
Provide Routing number if applicable ( Routing# 21-XXXXX).
- NOTE: At the time of application, the address must be clearly marked on site.
There are three possible outcomes:
- Access is built according to Pueblo county standards.
- After you send required documents (application and plot plan) and inspection is done, official data regarding your access will be created and your Project Routing / CO will be signed.
- Access is not built according to Pueblo county standards (Minor deviations from the standard or Stormwater flow is not compromised)
- After you send required documents (application and plot plan) and inspection is done, you will receive the note from instructions and a specification of the work required to bring the access up to Pueblo County standards.
- Official data regarding your access will be created.
- As stormwater flow is not compromised or Minor deviations from the standard occur on site, your Project Routing / CO will be signed and provided letter from this office becomes mandatory condition for any future development or project on site.
- Access is not built according to Pueblo county standards (Major deviations from the standard or Stormwater flow is compromised)
- After you send required documents (application and plot plan) and inspection is done, you will receive a letter with instructions and a specification of the work required to bring the access up to Pueblo County standards.
- Official data regarding your access will be created.
- As stormwater flow is compromised or Major deviations from the standard occur on site, your Project Routing /CO will not be signed until the access is brought up to Pueblo County standards according to observations from this office.
New access
If you are applying for an New Access Permit for access onto a Pueblo County maintained road you will need to apply and submit A PLOT PLAN (drawn to scale) showing all existing and planned accesses, distances of road accesses from edge of property, width of the accesses, the property boundary, road name, all existing and proposed buildings/improvements, and road right-of-way location.
Provide Routing number if applicable ( Routing# 21-XXXXX).
- NOTE: At the time of application, the address must be clearly marked on site.
- NOTE: Indicate the permit number for which you are applying for on the check (You can send the check by mail or bring it in person to our office)
Time for approval of new accesses
- Gravel access: Immediately after construction (compaction test can be required).
- Concrete access: Seven days after construction, possibly three days after construction with enclosed concrete brake test with confirmed 90% of required strength ( concrete brake test can be required).
- Asphalt access: Immediately after construction (asphalt test can be required).
