PDF Page 75 width based on proposed "noncompliance" under EC 9.8320(11)k). However, the street standards at EC 9.8320(5)(a) are not subject to non-compliance modifications. Public Works staff does indicate that based on the City's adopted local street design standards (Design Standards for Eugene Streets, Sidewalks, Bikeways and Accessways), that "curbside sidewalks and sidewalks on one side of the street [may be permitted] in special circumstances, such as to reduce excessive impacts to topography, wetlands, drainageways, and other natural features" (see Section F- Sidewalks) and that "depending on the projected traffic volumes and any circumstances unique to the location, pavement widths for local residential streets range from 20' to 34' with right-of-way widths ranging from 40' to 60'." The proposal meets the criterion regarding street classification, right of way width and improvements with summary comments provided below: Frontage Road - Medium-Volume Residential Street connecting Spring Boulevard at 30th to A Street, which includes 24 feet of paving, a 12-foot multi-purpose path on the north side with planter strips on both sides within 50 feet of right of way. Meets right of way minimum and allowance to provide setback sidewalk.on one side only, as the 12 foot sidewalk will function as a multi-use path and additional sidewalk would require additional impact to natural resources. Since the Frontage Road, which will be located at the base of the existing 30th Avenue embankment, is currently contained within the 30th Avenue right-of-way under Lane County'jurisdiction, several steps would be necessary before the Frontage Road right-of- way could be dedicated to the City of Eugene. This would include satisfaction of Lane County concerns regarding the stability of the 30th Avenue embankment and associated drainage, subsequent transfer of ownership from Lane County to the developers, and annexation of the future right-of-way to the City of Eugene. A Street - Medium-Volume Residential Street connecting the Frontage Road to Brackenfern Road, Rockrose Lane and B Street. Proposed 24-foot paved width and six- foot curbside sidewalks on one side along western portion and both sides on eastern portion within 50 feet of right of way. Meets right of way minimum of 50 feet for medium-volume residential street and exceeds.paving width minimum of 20 feet. Allowance to provide curbside sidewalks instead of setback sidewalks is acceptable, as meeting standard would require additional cut and fill. Segment east of Rockrose Lane should be revised to match B Street. B Street- Low-Volume Residential Street, connecting from-A Street to eastern portion of site. Proposed 21-foot paved width with sidewalk on one side, within 45-foot right of way. Meets right of way minimum of 45 feet and exceeds paving width minimum of 20- feet. Allowance to provide curbside sidewalks instead of setback sidewalks is acceptable as meeting standard would require additional cut and fill. Segment east of Rockrose Lane should be revised to match B Street. LaurelRidge Applicant Final Argument - Page 41 124 Laurel Ridge Record (Z 15-5) Page 879
