OR Rev Stat § 374.308 (2021)
2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 10 - Highways, Military|Chapter 374 - Control of Access to Public Highways|Section 374.308 - Presumption of written permission.

(1)(a) An owner of real property abutting a state highway with an existing approach road is presumed to have the Department of Transportation’s written permission for the approach road based upon documentation for a highway project completed by the department that shows that the approach road was built or rebuilt as part of the project or that the department intended to issue an approach permit to the property owner for the approach road. (b) The department shall have the burden to establish that the factual basis for the presumption in paragraph (a) of this subsection does not exist. (2)(a) An owner of real property abutting a state highway with an approach road that was in existence before April 1, 2000, is also presumed to have the department’s written permission for the approach road based upon documentation in any form that shows: (A) That the approach road was in existence before July 16, 1949; (B) That the approach road was in existence before the department accepted jurisdiction of the highway from a city or county; or (C) That the approach road was built or rebuilt with the department’s knowledge or permission. (b) The department shall have the burden to establish that the factual basis for the presumption in paragraph (a) of this subsection does not exist. The department may rebut the presumption in paragraph (a) of this subsection by a showing that there is insufficient documentation to determine whether the approach road was built or rebuilt with the department’s knowledge or permission. (3) Subsections (1) and (2) of this section apply only where there is a right of access to the state highway. (4) For approach roads presumed to have written permission under this section, the determination of prior use for the purposes of ORS 374.312 (4) and (5) is the use of the property on January 1, 2014. (5) Except as provided in this section, an approach road built without the department’s written permission is subject to removal or reconstruction as provided in ORS 374.307. (6) For purposes of ORS 374.302 to 374.334, 374.335 and 374.345, the presumption of written permission of the department for an approach road is deemed to be an approach permit issued by the department under ORS 374.310. [2013 c.476 §2] Note: 374.308 and 374.317 were added to and made a part of 374.302 to 374.334 by legislative action but were not added to any smaller series therein.

2021 Oregon Revised Statutes|Volume : 10 - Highways, Military|Chapter 374 - Control of Access to Public Highways|Section 374.309 - County permits; rules.

(1) The county court or board of county commissioners shall adopt reasonable rules and regulations and may issue permits, not inconsistent with law, for the use of the rights of way of county roads for the purposes described in ORS 374.305. (2) Rules and regulations adopted and permits issued under subsection (1) of this section shall include provisions, terms and conditions that in the judgment of the granting authority are in the best interest of the public for the protection of the road and the traveling public and may include, but need not be limited to: (a) Provisions for construction of culverts under approaches, requirements as to depth of fills over culverts and requirements for drainage facilities, curbs, islands and other facilities for traffic channelization as may be deemed necessary. (b) With respect to private road crossings, additional provisions for the angle of intersection, crossing at grade or other than grade, sight distances, safety measures including flaggers, crossing signs and signals, reinforcement for protection of the road, maintenance of the crossing and for payment by the applicant of any of the costs of complying with the provisions. (c) With respect to private road crossings, the granting authority may also require the applicant to furnish: (A) Public liability and property damage insurance in a sum fixed by the granting authority that indemnifies the members, officers, employees and agents of the granting authority from any claim that might arise on account of the granting of the permit and the crossing of the road by vehicles operating under the permit; and (B) Indemnity insurance, an indemnity bond or an irrevocable letter of credit issued by an insured institution as defined in ORS 706.008 in a sum fixed by the granting authority, indemnifying the granting authority for any damage to the roads that may be caused by the use of the crossing. (3) The powers granted by this section and ORS 374.315 may not be exercised so as to deny any property abutting the road reasonable access. In determining what is reasonable access, the county court or board of county commissioners shall apply the following criteria: (a) The access must be sufficient to allow the authorized uses for the property identified in the acknowledged local comprehensive plan. (b) The type, number, size and location of approaches must be adequate to serve the volume and type of traffic reasonably anticipated to enter and exit the property, based on the planned uses for the property.

(1) If the Department of Transportation closes an approach road for which a permit was issued under ORS 374.308 or 374.310 or that was allowed by law prior to enactment of statutory permit requirements for approach roads, or if the department denies an application for an approach road permit submitted pursuant to a grant or reservation of access contained in a contract, condemnation judgment or recorded deed, and the closure or denial is not the result of conditions contained in a contract, condemnation judgment, recorded deed or permit, a person holding an interest in the real property benefited by the access or proposed access may file a claim for relief as a contested case under ORS 183.415 to 183.500. (2) Prior to issuing a final order in a contested case under subsection (1) of this section, the Director of Transportation may provide the opportunity for the parties to participate in mediation consistent with the applicable provisions of ORS 36.185 to 36.210. In any alternative dispute resolution proceeding, the director may authorize administrative remedies, including monetary damages or other relief, as determined by the department by rule, to address issues related to real property value, utility or use. (3) In any proceeding under this section, any party may cause an appraisal of the subject property to be conducted. If the difference in value between a property owner’s claim and an offer of monetary compensation by the department is less than $30,000, the director shall provide a simplified procedure for resolving the claim. The cost of conducting an appraisal may be shared by the parties when a mutually acceptable appraiser can be identified. [1999 c.972 §3; 2005 c.149 §1; 2013 c.476 §6] Note: 374.313 was added to and made a part of 374.302 to 374.334 by legislative action but was not added to any smaller series therein.
