2017 Remand - Public Comment (2)

Oakleigh Lane. Eugene, Oregon April 3, 2017 Page: 2 of 14 parked within the paved area and right-of-way (See photos in Exhibit D.1 and Exhibit E.1). Parking is allowed on both sides of the street, including within the right-of-way for up to 72 hours (See photo in the August 26, 2015 City of Eugene parking staff e-mail in Exhibit E.2). During the project site visit, the lack of parking enforcement was apparent. As shown on the attached photos, the north side of the public right-of-way is used as a storage area for an abandoned vehicle and fire wood. In addition, the site visit revealed that the south side is covered with vegetation up to the edge of pavement. Approximately 75' of the roadway segment on the south side has a 6' wide unpaved area on private property that can be used as parking or other uses by the owners. (See field notes in Exhibit F.1). There are approximately 7 single-family houses that abut or are past (east of) the 250-foot segment of Oakleigh Lane. There are also 2 undeveloped parcels abutting the 250-foot segment of Oakleigh Lane. The 2 undeveloped parcels are on the south side of the street. Assuming each single-family house generates 9.52 trips per day, the total traffic volume currently served by the 250-foot segment is approximately 67 vehicles per day. This assumption is based on the average daily trip rate for single-family detached housing (Code 210) obtained from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9 Edition. FUTURE CONDITIONS At the east end of Oakleigh Lane, a planned unit development (PUD) of 29 new condominium units is proposed. Assuming each condominium unit generates 5.81 trips per day, the 250-foot long Oakleigh Lane segment will serve approximately 168 additional vehicle trips per day. This assumption is based on the average daily trip rate for condominium/town houses in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9 Edition (Code 230). The projected total daily traffic volume generated by the existing dwellings plus the 29 PUD dwellings is 235 vehicles. Oakleigh Lane provides the only access into and out of the proposed PUD. The entrance to the proposed PUD is approximately 870 feet from Oakleigh Lane's intersection with River Road. As one of the conditions of approval, the applicant for PUD is required to improve Oakleigh Lane to a minimum of 14 feet of paving width, in areas where the paving width is currently less than 14 feet within the dedicated right-of-way. This information is obtained from page 7 of the Eugene Planning Commission's (EPC) Revised Final Order on remand from Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA). (See Exhibit G.1). Review of the Oakleigh Lane right-of-way for remand shows that an additional 22.5 feet of right- of-way is required to be dedicated (for a total right-of-way of 42.5) along 50 feet of the development where the proposed vehicle access to the PUD will be located. This wider right-of-way, is beyond (to the east of) the 250-foot segment that must be traversed to reach the entrance to the PUD, and does not affect the conclusion in this analysis. The Oakleigh Lane right-of-way remand is included in the appendix. (See Exhibit H.1). Nemariam Engineers & Associates, LLC. Portland, Oregon
