1st Open Record Period: Applicant Comments submitted 3-21-18

Technical Memo to Hearings Official - Capital Hill PUD (PDT 17-1) March 21, 2018 time. One might assume this is a moonlighting condition, but that is an extremely unlikely and unrealistic commute for that to be the case. Attached for information is a print from the City of Santa Rosa webpage. Mr. Saberian did not submit any engineering calculations and was unable to demonstrate that the relevant criteria. As the supervising engineer for the City of Santa Rosa, it is questionable that he is familiar with the local approval criteria in the first place. The applicant has worked diligently to meet their burden of proof, including providing a traffic study when one was not required. The analysis to ensure the application conformed to approval criteria. Their unbiased review finds the ia. It should be noted that in the second paragraph of Existing C e standard was met, there were a number of erroneous claims that the roadway width is somehow responsible for cars parked on sidewalks, delivery trucks and service vehicles making the roadway width feel narrow, neighbors piling landscaping equipment on the sidewalk, a car turning around at a garage sale, snow collecting on a high-elevation roadway, and neighbors that constructed steep driveways. I am unsure about the conditions or standards in Santa Rosa, California, but these conditions are not unusual in Eugene, Oregon and they are certainly not an example of a criterion not being met. The off-site roadway exceeds the City standard for clear lane width of 14-feet on a local street or access lane, provided the one area identified in my traffic safety study and recommended for a safety improvement is followed. This is the area where approximately four cars park on the downhill side of the street at approximately 2625 Capital Drive. This was recommended with or without the subject development application. As you witnessed in the hearing, the neighbors agree that the on-street parking is not an ideal condition. While there is still no recent known accident history on this off-site roadway, the traffic study recommends a safety improvement for that area. As stated above, Capital Drive is not a unique condition. There are narrow streets with no sidewalks all over Hendricks Park Hill, Laurel Valley, and the Fairmont neighborhood. It is the character of the neighborhood. One of the most recent reconstruction projects of a roadway in Eugene was Crest Drive. It was built to 18-feet in width. The C involvement because the neighbors wanted to slow traffic on their street. It worked. confirmed that width, and the based on the approval criteria and the standards.
