I have not seen any plan for a new traffic control plan for this intersection which is very <br />concerning. A formula in a regulation states that no study is required but if you were to observe <br />the conditions during peak hours, common sense would tell you differently. <br />Parking <br />The majority of current homes on Oakleigh Lane do not have garages and limited on- <br />property parking resulting in the need to utilize street parking. With the addition of 29 homes <br />with only 47 planned parking spaces the probability of overflow parking onto the Lane is high. <br />Note that on the OMC website it is suggested that the handful of garages can be used as storage <br />units for those who are willing to purchase them. This would further reduce the available <br />parking on the development site. <br />Emergency traffic <br />With the on-street parking situation as it stands today, Oakleigh Lane is essentially a <br />one-lane road in several areas where cars are parked directly across the lane from each other. <br />With even one vehicle parked on the lane, neighbors yield to allow oncoming traffic right of way. <br />In this multi-parked car scenario, there is barely room for passenger vehicles to pass, but could <br />potentially prevent emergency vehicle access. <br />Pedestrian traffic <br />There are no sidewalks on the Lane. All foot and bicycle traffic use the street. With <br />vehicles parked on the street this results in pedestrian traffic using the middle of the lane. The <br />significant increase of housing and resulting vehicle traffic would create a significant hazard to <br />this pedestrian and bicycle traffic. <br />The likelihood of full development of the lane to meet city standards is highly probable <br />with this increased traffic. If this were to be mandated it could literally force people from their <br />homes as the cost to each home owner is beyond most neighbors budgets. Paying for street <br />upgrades that the majority of homeowners do not want to accommodate a development that is <br />simply too large for the location would create an even more divisive neighborhood. <br />Property cost <br />As stated on the OMC website, the proposed cost for each new condo is $200,000- <br />$400.000. This is inconsistent in that it is more than double the current value of the homes on <br />Oakleigh Lane as well as it diverging from the original plan of an affordable cohousing <br />community. It is obvious that these units are not for the average Eugenian. <br />Utility access plan <br />EWEB staff have indicated that there are no utilities to the site and the entire <br />neighborhood infrastructure on Oakleigh Ln and McClure Ln will need to be upgraded. This will <br /> <br />
