The development site does not <br />contain any significant Upland Wildlife or Wetland Sites as identified in the City's <br />Goal5 Inventory, such as rare plants, habitat for rare animals, prominent <br />topographic features, streams, etc. The site is, however, classified as a Significant <br />Riparian Corridor and located near a Category A Riparian zone with a designated <br />100-ft setback from the Willamette River. <br />The established limits of the Floodway are outside the development property <br />boundaries. The East property line, at its farthest point, is approximately 121 feet <br />away from the Approximate Floodway Boundary and, at its closest point, is. <br />approximately 115 feet away. The closest proposed building to the Floodway <br />Boundary is approximately 132 feet away. Additionally, the Ordinary High Water <br />(OHW) line is outside of the development site to the East approximately 200 feet at <br />the North end and approx. 243 feet at the South end. The development site is <br />geographically positioned within both Zones 'AE' and 'X' Special Flood Hazard Areas <br />(SFHA) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has established a <br />Base Flood Elevation (BFE) of 401.8 feet above sea level for the entire development <br />property. Such boundaries, including elevation markers, are clearly indicated on <br />the proposed Stormwater Plan for reference, Please also refer to the Topography <br />Survey for dimensions and details. <br />Construction and operation of the proposed residential development will not <br />impact the River nor create an increase of stormwater runoff that would impact the <br />surrounding River area. Please refer to the concurrent Planned Unit Development <br />(PUD), Tentative Plan permit submittal (file # PDT 13-0001) for additional relative <br />criterion analysis. <br />(2) To the greatest possible degree, necessary and adequate public access will be <br />provided along the Willamette River by appropriate legal means. <br />Findings: Currently, the concrete and paved public paths of the Greenway path <br />system do not extend through the development site but, however, "desire lines" <br />have been worn into the landscape adjacent to the East, North, and South property <br />lines that connect the public paths along the River to the River Road neighborhood. <br />The development proposes to retain these desired paths by enhancing and <br />maintaining the connections. The main desired path is along the entire East <br />property line that connects to Greenway path system to McClure Lane. <br />The existing path at the North property line shall connect with the proposed street <br />improvements that abut the development, which will provide residents along <br />Oakleigh Lane with access to the Willamette River. The existing path at the South <br />property line shall be used to connect to the on-site paved ADA-compliant <br />pedestrian and bicycle circulation system. These connections shall be maintained <br />Willamette Greenway- June 14, 2013 Page 5 of 20 Oakleigh Cohousing WG 13-0001 <br />1340 <br />
