street. Capital Drive is characterized as a low-volume street. Under EC Table 9.6870, low volume local streets are required to have between 20 and 28 feet of paving width along with 45 to 55 feet of right-of-way width. The existing 50-foot right-of-way exceeds the minimum required right-of-way width of 45 feet for local streets and is also sufficient to construct the required improvements in Capital Drive, which includes a 21-foot wide paved street with curbs and gutters on both sides and a 5-foot wide curbside sidewalk on the east side of the street. The proposed paving and right-of-way widths comply with the widths identified in Table 9.6870. The proposed street design will be more precisely reviewed for compliance with applicable standards during the subsequent Privately-Engineered Public Improvement (PEPI) permit process. Public Works referral comments page 5-6) confirm that no additional dedication or special setbacks for street right-of-way are required. EC 9.6873 Slope Easements Slope easements may be required to facilitate the construction of public streets and alleys and to protect the structural integrity of the roadway. The applicant acknowledges that slope easements may be required because of the site's topography and the site plan depicts proposed slope easements on Sheet L2.0. Because the extent of slope easements will not be known for certain until the PEPI permitting process, the exact requirement for slope easements will be determined at the time of the subsequent subdivision application and required to be shown on the final plat. EC 9.6875 Private Street Design Standards The applicant proposes a private street (Cupola Drive) to serve the proposed development. As explained in the Staff Report, EC 9.6815(2)(a) requires private streets to be designed and constructed in accordance with applicable requirements contained in the adopted Design Standards and Guidelines for Eugene Streets, Sidewalks, Bikeways and Accessways, which are more specifically identified in Section M. Private Streets and Alleys (on page 39 of Exhibit A of City Council Resolution No. 4608) in the ACSP. Under 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 referral comments (page 6-7) confirm that the proposed private street conceptually complies with the applicable standards. Under the private street typical section on the applicant's site plans (Sheet C4 Private Roadway Plan & Profile) Cupola Drive 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, and prior to final plat approval, the private street must be formally created by a separate document (i.e., Private Joint Use Access and Utility Hearings Official Decision (PDT 17-1) 45
