(Refer to Attachment B for a depiction of the required dedication areas.) <br />Constitutional Findings for Exaction: <br />It is in the public's interest to have Oakleigh Lane consist of 45 feet of right-of way through the <br />development site's entry drive aisle and to consist of 33 feet beyond the drive aisle to the <br />terminus of the street in order to ensure: safety for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists traveling <br />on Oakleigh Lane (a low-volume street); the efficient provision of emergency services; and that the <br />proposed development and adjacent properties are accessible via Oakleigh Lane. <br />There is a nexus between the requirement to dedicate 22.5 feet of right-of-way west of the drive <br />aisle and 13 feet east of the drive aisle and the public interest at issue. The 22.5 feet-of right-of- <br />way will result in one-half of the 45 feet of right-of-way which is necessary to construct Oakleigh <br />Lane to the City's minimum street design standards which have been established for a low-volume <br />street. The 13 feet of right-of-way will provide sufficient right-of-way on the south side of the <br />centerline to construct emergency vehicle turnaround with adjacent sidewalks to City standards. <br />Improving Oakleigh Lane to these standards will: allow for two-way vehicular and bicycle traffic; <br />provide separation between vehicular traffic and pedestrians; and provide for emergency <br />response and access to adjacent lots. Because 45 feet of right-of-way is the minimum amount of . <br />right-of-way necessary to construct Oakleigh Lane in this manner as a low-volume street, and <br />because 33 feet of right-of-way is the minimum amount of right-of-way necessary to construct the <br />turnaround at this location, the public interest in safe vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle travel and <br />emergency response and access will be at risk if the 22.5 and 13 foot strips of right-of-way are not <br />dedicated. <br />The requirement to dedicate 22.5 feet of right-of-way from the westerly boundary of the <br />proposed development primary drive aisle and 13 feet from the drive aisle to a line that is 117 feet <br />in length, as measured from east of the existing terminus of the right-of-way is roughly <br />proportional to the impact that the proposed development will have on the City's transportation <br />facilities. The proposed development will result in a 29 new residential units. These residential <br />units will be accessible only from Oakleigh Lane. Currently, 25 lots, consisting of a mix of <br />residential, general office and commercial zoning have structures that take access onto Oakleigh <br />Lane; thus, the additional 29 residential units will increase the number of structures that access <br />this Oakleigh Lane by over 100 percent. The construction of the new (structures will result in an <br />increase of vehicular traffic onto Oakleigh Lane by approximately 164 new vehicular trips per day. <br />See Trip Generation Manual from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) for Residential <br />Condo / Townhouses (Category 230). <br />Without the additional right-of-way, Oakleigh Lane cannot be improved to the City's minimum <br />street design standards and the 164 new vehicle trips per day generated by the proposed <br />development, along with the additional pedestrian and bicycle traffic generated by the proposed <br />development, will not be assured of safe access via Oakleigh Lane. This is the last opportunity that <br />the City will have to require the dedication of the right-of-way prior to the City needing the right- <br />of-way for street construction. <br />Staff Report: Oakleigh Meadows Cohousing September 2013 Page 15 <br />1002 MO Agenda - Page 22 <br />
