All necessary fill will be provided and installed in <br />accordance with the recommended material specifications and compaction requirements <br />as per the Geotechnical Investigation by-Foundation Engineering, Inc., (FEI) completed <br />February 12th, 2013. All fill will be contained on site, and will not encroach onto City <br />Park Land. The approximate anticipated fill depth is 3 feet. FEI, in their investigative. <br />report, has stated that all footings excavation, foundation sub grade, compaction <br />verification, back-filling, sub-grade pumping, density tests, and all other necessary <br />geotechnical work on site will be evaluated and verified by FEI representatives. <br />Second, pertaining to concerns about traffic on Oakleigh, our transportation engineer <br />(Access Engineering LLC) has verified-that their September 27~h, 2013 letter on record <br />concurs with staff findings that the proposed OMC development will not require further <br />Traffic Impact Analysis or reduce safety or service levels in the area. Also, the City of <br />Eugene's code mandates the use of the ITE manual, the same manual that Access <br />Engineering uses. <br />Third, in consultation with our civil engineer (SSW Engineers), stormwater has been <br />fully analyzed and infiltration facilities with flow control parameters have been chosen. <br />61.2 <br />
