That is a drafting error as they are not private roads but multi-family drive aisles). <br />The applicant's proposal seeks to minimize right-of-way width, eliminate sidewalk setbacks in <br />some instances, and allow for sidewalks on one side only in some areas. Public Works staff <br />indicates that the City's adopted local street standards allow flexibility in regards to these <br />standards while insuring the street function in accordance with their respective classifications. <br />Street design and function are discussed in greater detail below at EC 9.8320(5). The <br />applicant's proposal regarding street classification, right of way width, and improvements <br />responds to the existing topography on the site and an attempt to minimize impacts. Required <br />minimum ROW widths reduces the probability that the applicant can reduce impacts further <br />therefore this proposal is consistent with the policy, <br />Policy 4: All future construction in the Valley or East Laurel Hill shall include adequate <br />off-street parking to accommodate not only permanent residents but a reasonable <br />number of visitors. Although on-street parking should be discouraged, in some areas <br />pull-out facilities for parking should be developed, particularly where congestions <br />exists. <br />Off-street parking is provided as required by code for the multi-family development, and <br />includes sufficient on-street spaces that would also accommodate a reasonable number of <br />visitors. A minimum of one space is also required for single family lots. Typically, new houses <br />contain garages and one space is often provided in front of the garage. This can be evaluated at <br />time of building permit submittal but for purposes of this review this policy has been met. <br />East Laurel Hill Area <br />Policy 6: Development and expansion of park facilities and bicycle paths is <br />encouraged. The South Hills ridgeline park plan shall be continued. . <br />The East Laurel Hill area includes. the east end of this development site. The PUD proposes to <br />dedicate a public connection from Moon Mountain Park to the Ribbon Trail, consistent with this <br />policy. <br />Transportation <br />Policy: The Glenwood collector shall be designed to avoid breaking up large and <br />existing properties, improve the intersection alignment of the Laurel Hill-Glenwood <br />over-pass and maintain safe site distance. It shall serve as the primary access to future <br />residential development south of the node, but terminate and diffuse into other roads <br />serving the area. No connection to 30th Avenue shall be made. <br />This policy discusses the limitation on extending the Glenwood collector from 1-5 south to 30th <br />Avenue. The street design of East Ridge Village PUD to the north of the subject property, and <br />the proposed street alignments in this development, will ensure there is no collector street <br />LaurelRidge Applicant Final Argument - Page 35 <br />Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) <br />118 <br />Page 873 <br />
