Notes from Sept. 1, 2017 Meeting at Eugene City Planning Department <br />Between CHPUD Response Team Members <br />& Nick Gioello, Associate Planner, and Eric Favreau, Civil Engineer I <br />Capital Hill PUD Response Team members present: Faris Cassell, C.W. Murchison, Susan <br />Hoffman, Nate Teich, and Cathy Johnson. Also attending: Paul Conte and (by speaker phone) <br />Massoud Saberian – Traffic Engineer for CHPUD Response Team. <br />(Note: Minutes and seconds in parentheses indicate time that topic was discussed in recording. <br />Blue text indicates follow-up items.) <br />Massoud asked about the status of the Fire Department’s review of the project. <br />Nick responded that on 8/31/17, he sent a request for final comments (“referral comments”) to <br />various city departments such as Public Works Department, Fire Department, Parks Department, <br />LTD, the 4J School District and others. He will get information back from them in 3 weeks or so – <br />approximately 9/21/17. <br />Response Team to request of Nick that he immediately provide a copy of each response (“referral <br />comments”) as he receives same. <br />The meeting then went on to address the questions in Faris’ 8/31/17 email to Nick. <br />1.What is the road rating of Capital Drive, Spring Blvd and Fairmount Ave? Are theroads <br />rated at 25 tons? 35, 50 or 80 tons? <br />(6:03) Eric- We don’t use road ratings. The rehabilitation of roads is constructed to have a 20- <br />year life and new roads are constructed to have a 30-year life as per AASHTO Pavement Design <br />Guide. <br />Paul - Are all of the roads under consideration under city maintenance? <br />Eric - Yes. <br />Nick - All are public roads. <br />Paul - That’s not the same thing. Saying that roads are public doesn’t necessarily mean that <br />they’re under city maintenance. City has to take certain steps, I believe it’s called “acceptance.” <br />Eric - All of the roads are under city jurisdiction. Maintenance is a vague term; all are classified <br />as “local streets.” They don’t receive much in terms of rehabilitationconsideration for road <br />improvements. Of course there are exceptions, but it would be a high cost for a small number of <br />users benefits. <br />Paul - I know you have capital improvement and budget priorities, but I want to clarify, there is a <br />legal distinction whether a road is under city maintenance or not. <br />Eric - That would be a question for our Maintenance Department. <br />Nick - We’ll get back to you. <br />2. Has the city calculated the number of truckloads needed to remove the trees being cut <br />down? <br />Eric - It’s not required. The city doesn’t do that type of analysis; there are no local regulations to <br />govern that. The city views construction (traffic) activity as a “temporary condition” and, as such, <br />doesn’t make those types of calculations. <br />3. Has the city calculated the size, weight, and length of the trucks, trailers, bulldozers, and <br />cranes needed to cut the trees in the PUD area? <br />Eric: No. See response to #2 above. <br /> <br />
