Hearings Official Decision - Laserfiche WebLink

with respect to EC 9.6870, West Amazon Drive, adjacent to the proposed development, is not fully improved to City standards including paving, curbs and gutters, storm drainage, sidewalks, street lights, and street trees. The applicant's site plan, and Stormwater Management Plan and Drainage Study, reference additional paving and a setback sidewalk proposed in West Amazon Drive. Public Works staff notes that the construction of curb, sidewalk and storm system would be evaluated and constructed under the Privately Engineered Public Improvement (PEPI) process. Construction of additional paving to meet the 20-foot-width minimum under the Temporary Surface Permit process, in addition to an Irrevocable Petition for future improvements to West Amazon Drive, is also an acceptable option. At the time of the subsequent subdivision review, the applicant would be responsible for completing improvements in West Amazon Drive along the frontage of the subject property, by either: 1) completing half-street improvements through the PEPI process; or 2) by indicating that additional paving which will result in a minimum 20-foot surface will be constructed through a Temporary Surfacing Permit, in which case an Irrevocable Petition for future improvements will be required. The applicant has also requested an adjustment to EC 9.6505(3)(b), for the paving requirement of Vivian Drive, citing that Lots 7-10 will not take access to Vivian Drive, and therefore Vivian Drive will not be impacted by the development. In the event the Hearings Official approves the request, and to ensure compliance with the Adjustment Review approval criteria at EC 9.8030(19)(b), the following condition is warranted: • The Final PUD plans shall note that access connections from Vivian Drive are not permitted. With this condition of approval, and future permitting requirements as noted above, the applicable standards would be met. 5) Bicycle Paths and Accessways No bicycle paths or public access ways are required per the previous findings at EC 9.6835, which are incorporated by reference. (c) EC 9.6706 Development in Flood Plains through EC 9.6709 Special Flood Hazard Areas - Standards. This standard does not apply as the site is not located within a Special Flood Hazard Area per Flood Insurance Rate Map 41039C-1627-F. (d) EC 9.6710(6) Geological and Geotechnical Analysis. The applicant has stated this standard does not apply due to the exemption listed in EC 9.6710(3)(f). As confirmed above, the property is included on the City's acknowledged Goal 5 inventory and therefore qualifies for the exception. While not required with the PUD application, Public Works staff notes that a geotechnical analysis will be required as part of the Privately Engineered Public Improvement (PEPI) process for public wastewater improvements. (e) EC 9.6730 Pedestrian Circulation On-Site. Hearings Official Decision (PDT 15-1/ ARA 15-13) 18
