(c) The proposed development shall include streets that extend to <br />undeveloped or partially developed land that is adjacent to the <br />development site or that is separated from the development site by a <br />drainage channel, transmission easement, survey gap, or similar <br />property condition. The streets shall be in locations that will enable <br />adjoining properties to connect to the proposed development's street <br />system. <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, which will connect the new <br />rowhouse lots to the street network planned in the East Highlands Subdivision and <br />previous phases of the East Ridge Village PUD. This standard is met. <br />(d) Secondary access for fire and emergency medical vehicles consistent <br />with EC 9.6870 is required. <br />Response: EC 9.6870 does not include objective standards for secondary access for fire and <br />emergency vehicles. OFC D107.1 requires secondary access in developments of more than <br />30 dwellings. The project does not involve more than 30 dwelling on a single access road. <br />Therefore, a secondary access is not required, Further, the Brackenfern Road frontage <br />provides fire access and the individual homes are planned to be sprinkled so that a <br />turnaround is not required at the end of the planned private street. This standard is met. <br />(e) Except for applications proposing needed housing, all applicants <br />shall show that the proposed street alignment shall minimize <br />excavation and embankment and avoid impacts to natural resources, <br />including water-related features. <br />Response: As previously discussed, the private street shown in the Preliminary Plans in Exhibit A is <br />substantially similar to the private driveway and parking area previously approved to <br />serve the condominium units approved under the East Ridge Village PUD (PDF 02-2) and <br />being modified by this application. Excavation and embankment are still necessary, as <br />they were under the existing alignment. However, the revised excavation and <br />embankment will be less than what was previously approved because the modified <br />alignment follows the slope contours to the north on Deerfern Road to minimize the <br />finished grade of the street. Also, the rowhouses will have reduced building footprints <br />when compared to the existing 14-unit condominium approval for the property, which <br />allows the rowhouses, private street and retaining wall to be shifted slightly north, <br />reducing the overall height of the retaining wall. The alignment avoids impacts to natural <br />resource areas with the modified configuration of the conservation areas and does not <br />impact any water-related features. This standard has been met. <br />(f) In cases where a required street connection would result in the <br />extension of an existing street that is not improved to city standards <br />and the street has an inadequate driving surface, the developer shall <br />construct a temporary barrier at the entrance to the unimproved <br />street section with provision for bicycle, pedestrian, and emergency <br />vehicle access. The barrier shall be removed by the city at the time <br />the existing street is improved to city standards or to an acceptable <br />standard adopted by the public works director. In making a <br />determination of an inadequate driving surface, the public works <br />director shall consider the street rating according to Eugene's Paving <br />Management System and the anticipated traffic volume. <br />,~/►L7 East Highlands Lot 46 - City of Eugene November 2021 <br />PUD Modification, Cluster Subdivision, Property Line Adjustment and Page 21 <br />Slope Easement Vacation <br />
