Wastewater Service The applicant proposes connecting a portion of the development to the public wastewater system located within a Public Utility Easement that crosses the southwest portion of the site. Staff notes that the connection to the public wastewater system at this location would appear to involve a crossing of North Braewood Creek. Under current regulations, that stream corridor is protected by the (Goal S) WR overlay standards and it is not clear whether the proposed connection would even be allowed subject to those rules, if applicable. Public wastewater service is not currently available in Willamette Street adjacent to the site. The applicant proposes an extension of the public wastewater system from public manhole #321 located in 40"' Avenue just east of Willamette Street. Staff also notes that the majority of the dwelling units to be served by this extension are not located within the existing wastewater basin. Public Works staff notes that prior to development, a PEP[ permit would be required for the construction of any public wastewater improvements. The applicant may also need to demonstrate capacity in the receiving system as part of the PEPI process. Streets & Sidewalks The proposed development is adjacent to Willamette Street to the east and West 40th Avenue to the west. Willamette Street is classified as a minor arterial street, improved with variable width paving and gutters only, within the 80-foot-wide right-of-way prescribed on the Street Right-of-Way Map (figure 61). Sidewalks have not been constructed on this segment of Willamette Street. The street was resurfaced with new asphalt in 2011. West 40th Avenue adjacent to the site appears to be an unimproved dirt surface. In regards to the existing public streets, in order to make an affirmative finding that streets and sidewalks are available, Public Works staff notes that West 401 Avenue (an existing, unimproved public right-of-way segment that extends from the subject site to the intersection with Braeburn Drive) will need to be improved to allow access to the site. Staff is not aware of any information or details in the application with respect to improvement of this street segment for access to the site. Options for improvement would include a Privately Engineered Public Improvement (PEPI) or Temporary Surfacing Permit (TSP). Prior to or at the time of development, a permit to construct sidewalks on Willamette Street along the full frontage of the subject property would be also be required. The applicant proposes to construct a private street, "Cathedral Way" through the development, connecting to Willamette Street and to West 40th Avenue. The applicant's written statement indicates the private street is the same configuration as shown on Rest Haven (CU 95-2), and that it will meet local street standards. In response to completeness review comments, the applicant also states that the site plan proposes no changes to current access and ingress to the cemetery, although there is not currently an improved access from Willamette Street. Supplemental site plans with 2008 aerial photo now show the proposed private street in a different configuration than originally proposed, and in a steeper alignment CU 02-04 Cathedral Park Page 2 of 5
