Easement and Maintenance Agreement (JAM), or similar document). As the Staff Report <br />summarizes, the JAM will include a description defining the area of the private street and will <br />also identify permitted improvements, construction expectations, rights of usage and <br />maintenance responsibilities for the facilities in the private street, as well as responsibilities for <br />the public sidewalk adjacent to the private street. The JAM will be recorded concurrent with and <br />cross-referenced on the final plat. At the time of the subdivision review, provisions ensuring <br />emergency access over the private street must also be addressed. These may be included in the <br />JAM or alternatively may be dedicated as a Public Emergency Access Easement on a standard <br />City form. <br />The access connection to the private street must be constructed as a standard driveway apron. <br />The structural design and construction inspection for the private street shall remain the <br />developer's responsibility. Certification by a licensed engineer that a structural design meeting <br />the applicable public standards has been completed, will be required at the time of the site <br />development permit for the private street. <br />Based on these findings and future permit requirements, the proposed development complies <br />with the EC 9.6800 through EC 9.6875 standards for streets, alleys and other public ways. <br />EC 9.8320(5): The PUD provides safe and adequate transportation systems <br />through compliance with the following: <br />(b) Pedestrian, bicycle and transit circulation, including related facilities, as <br />needed among buildings and related uses on the development site, as well as <br />to adjacent and nearby residential areas, transit stops, neighborhood activity <br />centers, office parks, and industrial parks, provided the city makes findings <br />to demonstrate consistency with constitutional requirements. "Nearby" <br />means uses within 1/4 mile that can reasonably be expected to be used by <br />pedestrians, and uses within 2 miles that can reasonably be expected to be <br />used by bicyclists. <br />Finding: This criterion relates directly to the proposed PUD itself, requiring that proposed <br />onsite transportation system is safe and adequate as it relates both internally and to `nearby' <br />uses. <br />As explained in the Staff Report, the proposed PUD includes major street improvements to <br />Capital Drive adjacent to Lot 20 and northward to Lot 2. These improvements include widening <br />of the road to meet City standards, curb and gutter, and sidewalk along the east side of the road. <br />Cupola Drive, a proposed private road, will connect to Capital Drive at the southern and <br />northern portions of the development allowing an access loop through the development. Cupola <br />Drive will also include curb and gutter and sidewalk on the west side of the road. The <br />improvements to Capital Drive, and the addition of Cupola Drive, will facilitate the safe and <br />adequate vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle transit circulation within the development, and will <br />allow drivers to navigate through the development in a continuous manner without negotiating a <br />three-point turnaround or the use of a private driveway, which is currently the only way to enter <br />and then exit that portion of Capital Drive north of the intersection with Cresta De Ruta Street. <br />Hearings Official Decision (PDT 17-1) 46 <br />
