M. Private Streets and Alleys (on page 39 of Exhibit A of City Council Resolution No. 4608) in the ACSP. Per Section M of the adopted standards (Arterial and Collector Street Plan), private streets are required to comply with the standards for public streets with respect to intersection configuration, minimum centerline radius length, grade, sight distance, width, curb requirements, sidewalks and street alignments relative to natural resource sites and water- related features. Public Works staff confirms the proposed private street conceptually complies with applicable standards. Per the private street typical section on the applSheet C4 Private Roadway Plan & Profile) the private street will consist of 21-foot paving, curbs on both sides of the street, and a 3.5 foot wide sidewalk on the westerly side of the street in a 25 foot wide right-of-way (i.e., joint access easement). At the time of the subsequent subdivision review, the private street will need to be formally created by a separate document (i.e., Private Joint Use Access and Utility Easement and Maintenance Agreement (JAM), or similar document). The JAM will include a description defining the area of the private street and will also identify permitted improvements, construction expectations, rights of usage and maintenance responsibilities for the facilities in the private street, as well as responsibilities for the public sidewalk adjacent to the private street. The JAM will be recorded concurrent with and cross-referenced on the final plat. At the time of the subdivision review, provisions ensuring emergency access over the private street will also need to be addressed. These may be included in the JAM or alternatively may be dedicated as a Public Emergency Access Easement on a standard City form. It is noted that the access connection to the private street will need to be constructed as a standard driveway apron. Also, the structural design and construction inspection for the that a structural design meeting the applicable public standards has been completed, will be required at the time of the site development permit for the private street. Based on these findings and future permit requirements, the proposed development complies with these standards. EC 9.8320(5): The PUD provides safe and adequate transportation systems through compliance with the following: (b) Pedestrian, bicycle and transit circulation, including related facilities, as needed among buildings and related uses on the development site, as well as to adjacent and nearby residential areas, transit stops, neighborhood activity centers, office parks, and industrial parks, provided the city makes findings to uses within ¼ mile that can reasonably be expected to be used by pedestrians, and uses within 2 miles that can reasonably be expected to be used by bicyclists. The proposal includes major street improvements to Capital Drive adjacent to Lot 20 and northward to Lot 2. These improvements include widening of the road, curb and gutter, and Capital Hill PUD (PDT 17-1) February 2018 30 Page 30
