Canyon Drive The applicant proposes to extend Canyon Drive, where the existing right-of-way terminates at the south property boundary, for a connection with West Amazon Drive. Canyon Drive complies with the slope restrictions in EC 9.8325(5); and the applicant's alternative site plan shows a hammerhead turnaround as required by EC 9.6820 Cul-de-Sacs or Emergency Vehicle Turnaround, and the applicant shows a proposed future street connection pursuant to EC 9.6815(2)(b) Street Connectivity Standards. The applicant notes that Canyon Drive would be a low volume residential street, which is required by EC 9.6870 Street Width to have between 20 and 28 feet of pavement width between 45 and 55 feet of right-of-way width. Sheet L8 of the applicant's plans show the Canyon Drive design as having a 21-foot paved travel lane, with setback sidewalks on one side of the street, within 25 feet of right-of-way. Consistent with the recommendation for Senger Lane below, the applicant should reduce the paved travel Lane to 20 feet to minimize cut and fill slope and impacts to the adjacent waterway. The proposed intersection of Canyon Drive and West Amazon Drive occurs over the middle stream, which is a Goal 5 protected water resource that requires Standards Review approval for public improvement crossings. The following condition of approval in addition to the ones about would address these issues: The final PUD site plans shall show Canyon Drive as: having 20 feet of pavement width with curbside sidewalks, within 45 feet of right-of-way. The public improvements shall be constructed as part of the Privately-Engineered Public Improvement (PEPI) permit process. Senger Lane The applicant proposes to extend Senger Lane, from West Amazon Drive to the southwest property corner. The applicant has aligned Senger Lane to overlap the existing public utility easement that runs through the property and contains underground public wastewater infrastructure; however, as noted above, this location will need to change to comply with EC 9.8325(5). Senger Lane is also located outside the /WR protected resource area. The street improvements stop short of the property boundary, so as to not interrupt the perimeter buffer area required by EC 9.8325(3). Senger Lane, in the configuration currently shown, can be extended to adjacent lands consistent with the Street Connectivity Standards at EC 9.6815(2). The terminus of Senger Lane shows a 30-foot wide reserve strip within the buffer area as provided by EC 9.6840 Reserve Strip. When adjacent lands need the street connection to further develop and dedicate their portion of Senger Lane, the reserve strip area would no longer be required to buffer adjacent properties. As a street that terminates, but is expected to be extended in the future, the applicant proposes a temporary turnaround, consistent with EC 9.6820 Cul-de-Sacs or Emergency Vehicle Turnarounds. Senger Lane is ultimately expected to function as a Low-Volume Residential street, which is required by EC 9.6870 Street Width to have between 20 and 28 feet of pavement width within 45 to 55 feet of right-of-way. Sheet L8 of the applicant's plans show the Senger Lane design as Hearing Official Decision (PDT 10-2, CU 11-1) 17
