and to guarantee that the proposed development and adjacent properties are accessible via <br />Oakleigh Lane. <br />There is a nexus between the requirement to dedicate 22.5 feet of right-of-way through the drive <br />aisle and to dedicate 13 feet of right-of-way east of the drive aisle to the end of the proposed. <br />turnaround and the public interest at issue. The 22.5 feet of right-of-way will result in one-half of <br />the 45 feet of right-of-way which is necessary to construct Oakleigh Lane to the,City's minimum <br />street design standards which have been established for a low-volume street. The 13 feet of right- <br />of-way will provide sufficient right-of-way on the south side of the centerline to construct an <br />emergency vehicle turnaround with adjacent sidewalks to City standards. Improving Oakleigh Lane <br />to these standards will allow for two-way vehicular and bicycle traffic, will provide separation <br />between vehicular traffic and pedestrians and will also provide for emergency response and access <br />to adjacent lots. Because 45 feet of right-of-way is the minimum amount of right-of-way necessary <br />to construct Oakleigh Lane in this-manner as a low-volume street, and because 33 feet of right-of- <br />way is the minimum amount of right-of-way necessary to construct the turnaround at this <br />location, the public interest in safe vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle travel and emergency <br />response and access will be at risk if the 22.5 foot 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 proposed <br />development through the primary drive aisle and 13 feet from the drive aisle to a line that is 117 <br />feet east of the existing terminus of the right-of-way is roughly proportional to the impact that the <br />proposed development will have on the City's transportation facilities. The proposed development <br />will result in a 29 new residential units. These residential units will be accessible only from <br />Oakleigh Lane. Currently, 25 lots, consisting of a mix of residential, general office and commercial <br />zoning have structures that take access onto Oakleigh Lane; thus, the additional 29 residential <br />units will increase the number of structures that access this Oakleigh Lane by over 100'percent. <br />The construction of the new structures will result in an increase of vehicular traffic onto Oakleigh <br />Lane by approximately 168 new vehicular trips per day. See Trip Generation Manual from the <br />Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) for Residential 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 168 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 -wayfor street construction. <br />PDT 13-01 Oakleigh Cohousing Page 3 of 22 <br />1257 <br />
