Access Engineering LLC <br />September 27, 2013 <br />Hearings Official <br />c/o Steve Ochs; Planner <br />99 W. 10th Avenue <br />Eugene, OR 97401 <br />a ao~ 9740 _ RE. Oakleigh Meadows P.U,D. Co-housing Development <br />kon4 & Fax <br />ta3z~~ I am writing this letter in-support of the proposed Oakleigh Meadotivs Co housinj <br />QtegB~nQ °m- development at the cast end ofOakleigh Lane. This planned unit development <br />will contain 28 dwelling units in seven buildings ,vith a common house in the <br />center of the development The Ninth Edition of the I1isYitute of Transportation <br />Engineers Trip Generation Manual classifies this type of development as a <br />"residential eondominiumItownhouse" development. <br />The City took a conservative. approach and used a trip generation rate for single- <br />family detached housing of one PM peak hour trip per unit and assumeci29 units. <br />Since this development wilt actually be townhouses, the weighted average trip <br />rate from the Trip Generation Manual would be 0.52 trips per unit or 15 PM peak <br />hour trips. So whether one uses 15 or 29 peak hour trips, or some number in <br />between; all ale well below the City's threshold of 100 peak hour trips that would <br />trigger a-traffic impact.analysis. I,-concurvviththestafffindiugs that this <br />development will not require. fiuther traffic impact analysi or reduce safety or <br />tet .rn E, nytnaering" service levels in the area. <br />Yours very.truly, - - <br />Michael Weishar, PE <br />Access Engineering LLC <br />956 <br />RENEWS 618014 <br />
