means uses within 1/4 mile that can reasonably be expected to be used by <br />pedestrians, and uses within 2 miles that can reasonably be expected to be <br />used by bicyclists. <br />• EC 9.8320(6): The PUD will not be a significant risk to public health and safety, <br />including but not limited to soil erosion, slope failure, stormwater or flood <br />hazard, or an impediment to emergency response. <br />• EC 9.8320(11): The PUD complies with all of the following: <br />(b) EC 9.6500 through EC 9.6505 Public Improvement Standards. <br />EC 9.6500 Easements <br />EC 9.6505 Improvements-Specifications <br />EC 9.6505(3) Streets and Alleys and (4) Sidewalks <br />EC 9.6505(5) Bicycle Paths and Accessways. <br />EC 9.8320(12): The proposed development shall have minimal off-site impacts, <br />including impacts such as traffic, noise, stormwater runoff and environmental <br />quality. <br />• EC 9.8320(13): The proposed development shall be reasonably compatible and <br />harmonious with adjacent and nearby land uses. <br />OVERVIEW <br />Oakleigh Lane is an unimproved, unmaintained, substandard, dead-end "Access Lane" <br />that cannot safely or efficiently handle the increased vehicular traffic that would occur if <br />the proposed 29-unit PUD were approved. <br />According to Eugene Public Works Department's ("PWD") analysis of the proposal, <br />"safe vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle travel and emergency response and access will <br />be at risk without improving Oakleigh Lane to City standards for a "Low Volume <br />Residential Street," which includes widening the right-of-way to 45'. Widening of the <br />right-of-way is infeasible given the existing residential development that borders both <br />sides of Oakleigh Lane. <br />As the testimony below further demonstrates, the development will create substantial <br />additional vehicle traffic on Oakleigh Lane, which will: <br />a) exceed the capacity of this unimproved, unmaintained, substandard access lane, <br />b) have significant negative off-site traffic impacts on current residents, <br />c) increase risk to drivers, pedestrians, bicyclists and emergency vehicles, and <br />d) potentially place an inequitable financial burden on current home owners for <br />future easements and street improvements. <br />October 9, 2013 Conte testimony re PUD 13-1 2 1 P a g e <br />
