having a 21-foot paved travel lane, with setback sidewalks on one side of the street, within 45 feet of right-of-way. Staff recommended the minimum paving (20 feet); right-of-way (45 feet) width; and curbside sidewalks on only one side of the street (the east side of the street, adjacent to the residential lots and away from the westerly waterway), in order to minimize cut and fill slope and impacts to the adjacent waterway. The following condition of approval in addition to the ones about would address these issues: ® The final PUD site plans shall show Senger Lane as: having 20 feet of pavement width with curbside sidewalks on the east side of the street only, within 45 feet of right-of- way; and terminating in a hammerhead turnaround, as proposed, within a temporary public easement. The public improvements shall be constructed as part of the Privately- Engineered Public Improvement (PEPI) permit process. St. Clair Lane The applicant's plans show a "planned connection" of St. Clair Lane between West Amazon Drive and the northwest property corner. The adjacent landowner, Ms. St. Clair, has made several inquiries to staff, to ensure that this street connection is provided to her property. The applicant does not explicitly propose right-of-way dedication or street improvements. It is also noted that the street extension cannot be provided through the 30-foot perimeter vegetated buffer, required by EC 9.8325(3) at this point. When St. Clair Lane is extended in the future, it is anticipated 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. To ensure that St. Clair Lane can be extended to adjacent lands consistent with the Street Connectivity Standards at EC 9.6815(2), the following would be needed: a 45 feet of right-of- way between West Amazon Drive and the 30-foot perimeter buffer; and a 30- by 45-foot reserve strip within the buffer area at the terminus of St. Clair Lane. As provided by EC 9.6840 Reserve Strip, dedication of a reserve strip would enable the City to control access to a street until it is necessary to provide access to adjacent lands. When adjacent lands need the street connection to further develop and dedicate their portion of St. Clair Lane, the reserve strip area would no longer be required to buffer adjacent properties. The applicant's alternative site plan shows St. Clair Lane in compliance with these requirements. Daylight Drive, West Morning Drive, and East Morning Drive These are private streets proposed within the development that terminate in hammerhead turnarounds. Based on the previous findings and recommended conditions at EC 9.8325(5), regarding the approval criterion the locations of these streets will need to be adjusted to comply with the 20 percent restriction. Assuming they can be adjusted in compliance with EC 9.8325(5), then EC 9.6875 Private Street Design Standards requires that when private streets are permitted under EC 9.6815(2), they shall be designed and constructed in accordance with applicable requirements contained in the adopted "Design Standards and Guidelines for Eugene Streets, Sidewalks, Bikeways and Accessways."
