(2) Buildings or other existing development on adjacent lands, including <br />previously subdivided but vacant lots or parcels, physically preclude a block <br />length 600 feet or less, considering the potential for redevelopment. <br />(3) An existing public street or streets terminating at the boundary of the <br />development site have a block length exceeding 600 feet, or are situated such <br />that the extension of the street(s) into the development site would create a <br />block length exceeding 600 feet. In such cases, the block length shall be as <br />close to 600 feet as practicable. <br />(4) As part of a Type II or Type III process, the developer demonstrates that a <br />strict application of the 600-foot requirement would result in a street network <br />that is no more beneficial to vehicular, pedestrian or bicycle traffic than the <br />proposed street network and that the proposed street network will <br />accommodate necessary emergency access. <br />Response: This application does not create new blocks. The configuration of the public streets <br />serving the site (including the block lengths) were approved under the original East Ridge <br />Village PUD (PDF 02-2). This application does not involve changes to the approved <br />configuration. This standard has been met. <br />9.6815 Connectivity for Streets. <br />(2) Street Connectivity Standards. <br />(a) All streets and alleys shall be public unless the developer <br />demonstrates that a public street or alley is not necessary for <br />compliance with this land use code or the street connectivity <br />standards of subparagraphs (b) through (f) of this subsection. <br />Response: The private street shown in the tentative plans in Exhibit A will function as a private <br />driveway to serve the new rowhouse lots. The street is substantially similar to the private <br />driveway and parking area previously approved to serve the condominium units approved <br />for this lot under the East Ridge Village PUD PDF 02-2, which are being modified by this <br />application. The modification only involves minor changes to the approved alignment due <br />to the topographical constraints on the property. Given that this general alignment of the <br />facility has already been approved, and that the modified alignment provides the same <br />degree of connectivity as the previously approved alignment, the private street is not <br />necessary to meet any additional connectivity standards of subparagraphs (b) through (f) <br />of this subsection. This standard is met. <br />(b) The proposed development shall include street connections in the <br />direction of all existing or planned streets within 1/4 mile of the <br />development site. The proposed development shall also include <br />street connections to any streets that abut, are adjacent to, or <br />terminate at the development site. <br />Response: As shown in the Preliminary Plans in Exhibit A, the private street will provide access from, <br />and connect to, the future extension of Deerfern Road to the north, which will be <br />constructed with the East Highlands subdivision. The subject property abuts existing or <br />planned public right-of-way, and existing or planned open space and conservation <br />easements. There are no streets which abut or terminate at the development site, or are <br />planned to be extended through the development site in the future. This standard is met. <br />,~/►L7 East Highlands Lot 46 - City of Eugene November 2021 <br />PUD Modification, Cluster Subdivision, Property Line Adjustment and Page 20 <br />Slope Easement Vacation <br />
