The City would not have to address who would provide the pipe, just that it was feasible in <br />some.xnanner. <br />While transportation systems are different than wastewater systems, facilities for both <br />must be adequate and safe, and the proper interpretation of the City's code in EC 9.8320(5) <br />serves exactly that purpose for transportation systems. While constitutional limitations <br />constrain how much of the burden an applicant can be required to assume, they.do not in any <br />way negate or diminish the standards that must be met to ensure the,public safety. <br />In this case, the City-has unequivocally determined that Oakleigh Lane must have a <br />45-foot right-of-way adjacent to the, PUD to be sufficient for safe and adequate use that would <br />arise from the increased traffic generated by the PUD. The City cannot neglect to ensure that <br />happens. <br />If this.point isn't clear by now, let me emphasize again that the following justification, <br />whether repeated in this remand proceeding, or as found in the Planning Commissions prior <br />appeal decision, doesn't provide an analysis at all of the" actual issue: <br />"The constitutional findings in the Public Works referral comments are limited to <br />justification for a proportional right-of-way exaction along the frontage of the subject <br />property that would accommodate future public street improvements." Planning <br />Commission Final Order dated December 13, 2013 at 4. <br />Whether or not the only way that Public Works used their own analysis of Oakleigh Lane was <br />to justify the exaction of a 22.5-foot right-of-way, their findings regarding the,public's safety <br />were unambiguous Oakleigh Lane must have a 45-foot right-of-way to ensure the public will <br />O <br />be assured of safe access. Here it is again in black-and-white: <br />"Without the additional right-of-way, Oakleigh Lane cannot be improved to the City's <br />minimum street design standards 13 and the 168 new vehicle trips per day generated by <br />the proposed development, along with the additional pedestrian and bicycle traffic <br />generated by the proposed development; will not be assured of safe access via Oakleigh <br />Lane." PH-30 at 3. <br />Note that nowhere at all in the Hearings Official's decision (or in the Planning Commission s <br />prior decision or the City's LUBA brief) is there any claim that Dolan actually prevents the City <br />from requiring that Oakleigh Lane have a minimum 45-foot right-of-way along the <br />development frontage. Instead, the valid claim that Dolan limits the right-of-way exaction has <br />simply been repeated in findings regarding the required Oakleigh Lane right=of-way, as if Dolan <br />applied. But, as LUBA made clear in Stockwell v. Benton County, Dolan does not apply to a <br />requirement that Oakleigh Lane have an adequate right-of-way because that requirement <br />would not be a "taking." <br />The applicant's attorney also claimed that the City Public Works staff [has] answered" <br />"the question of how the City intends to get to a 45-foot right-of-way from the applicant's <br />22.5-foot street dedication, and the 20-foot existing right-of-way for Oakleigh Lane." OMC <br />13 The City's minimum street standards require at least a 45-foot right-of-way. <br />Trautman Appeal Testimony PDT 13-1 Page 15 July 27, 2015 <br />668 <br />
