Street Connectivity Study, Oakleigh Meadows PUD Page 2 <br />In the context of a Type II or Type III land use decision, the city shall grant an exception to the <br />standards in subsections (2)(b), (c) or (d) if the applicant demonstrates that any proposed <br />exceptions are consistent with either subsection 1. or 2. belotiv: <br />1. The applicant has provided to the city, at his or her expense, a local street connection study <br />that demonstrates: <br />a. That the proposed street system meets the intent of street connectivity provisions of this <br />land use code as expressed in EC 9.6815(1); and <br />b. How undeveloped or partially developed properties within a quarter mile can be <br />adequately sewed by alternative street layouts. <br />9.6815 Connectivity for Streets. <br />(1) Purpose and Intent. The street connectivity standards of EC 9.6815(2) Street <br />Connectivity Standards are established to ensure that all of the following are met: <br />(a) Streets are designed to efficiently and safely accommodate emergency fire and <br />medical set-vice vehicles. <br />Tax lot 200 can accommodate an emergency turnaround in the southwest corner of a future <br />development with an additional right-of-way dedication from Oakleigh Meadows. <br />(b) The layout of a street system does not create excessive travel lengths. <br />The existing developments east of River Road and the Willamette River preclude any other street <br />connections except to Oakleigh Lane which has a direct connection to River Road, an arterial <br />street. <br />(c) The f action of a local street is readily apparent to the user through its appearance <br />and design in order to reduce non-local traffic on local residential streets. <br />The local function of the street is apparent from its oil-mat surface -20-feet in width and the <br />dead-end sign on the street name sign. <br />(d) Streets are interconnected to reduce travel distance, promote the use of alternative <br />modes, provide for efficient provision of utility and emergency services, and provide <br />for more even dispersal of traffic. <br />Because the area between Oakleigh Meadows and River Road is fully developed, the only <br />available location for a future street connection is at the east end of both Oakleigh Lane and that <br />would not change the travel distances or usage of either street. <br />Access Engineering LLC <br />August 6, 2013 <br />1440 <br />
