Oakleigh Lane. Eugene, Oregon CONTE - EXHIBIT A2 <br />April 18, 2017 Page: 1 of 5 <br />Date: April 18, 2017 <br />To: Mr. Paul Conte <br />From: Massoud Saberian, PE, PTOE <br />Principal Transportation Engineer <br />SABA Consulting & Engineering Services <br />RE: Oakleigh Lane 250-foot Segment Assessment <br />Dear Mr. Conte, <br />You have requested that I review and provide my expert opinion on the comments in three documents: <br />• April 10, 2017 memo from Scott Gillespie of the Eugene Public Works Department (Exhibit A) <br />• April 12, 2017 comments from Mark H. Dahl of the Eugene Springfield Fire Marshal's Office <br />(Exhibit B) <br />• April 5, 2017 Report prepared by Nemariam Engineering Associates, LLC (Exhibit C Nemariam <br />Report) <br />In review of these three documents, I have summarized my findings in no particular order as follow: <br />The Nemariam Report provided a traffic assessment regarding a 250-foot segment of Oakleigh Lane in <br />Eugene, Oregon. Nemariam Report, page 1. <br />The Nemariam Report presented substantial evidence, including from the traffic engineer's visit to the <br />site, and concluded that "the 250-foot segment of Oakleigh Lane, as approved in the City's 'Final Order,' <br />cannot reasonably be relied upon as a'queuing street'that would provide unimpeded emergency <br />response to the proposed PUD." Nemariam Report, page 14. <br />Memo from Scott Gillespie <br />In the first paragraph of Mr. Gillespie's memo, he provides some basic description of the dedication, <br />history and configuration of Oakleigh Lane. The statements that are relevant to the Nemariam Report's <br />assessment, include: <br />• "The Roadway was improved to an approximate continuous width of 20 feet. <br />• "The road] is constructed to Lane County LAR standards." <br />• "The roadway has no curbs." <br />• "Photographic evidence and testimony shows intermittent parking on gravel shoulders." <br />The first statement is inaccurate, and could inadvertently be misunderstood by others as a 20 feet wide <br />roadway. The roadway is improved to only 14 feet (average), more-or-less within the 20-foot right-of- <br />way of the 250-foot segment that the Nemariam Report's assessment covered. Nemariam Report, pages <br />2, 4, 11 (Table I) and Exhibits C & G.1. This narrow paving was a critical factor in the Nemariam Report's <br />conclusions. <br />The second statement does not provide any data on which segment(s) of the road are City street and <br />which are County road. The statement doesn't describe the "Lane County LAR standards" or the right-of- <br />SABA, C.E.S. - Beaverton, OR 503-888-7553 sabaces100@gmail.com <br />
