the character of the Valley. Approval of apartment <br />complexes larger than 32 units will depend upon the <br />feasibility of providing adequate urban services, streets, <br />schools, and transportation. <br />3. Dispersal. Planned Unit Developments composed primarily <br />of multiple dwelling units shall be separated and dispersed <br />and not abutting. (Policy 1) <br />Response: As stated throughout this narrative, this tentative cluster subdivision is consistent with <br />the approved PUD (PDF 02-2) with the modification included in this application. The <br />density policies of the South Hills Study were reviewed under the original PUD approval <br />process. This project does not involve apartment complexes or multiple dwelling units. <br />This policy is satisfied. <br />(b) New land divisions shall be planned to respect the existing <br />topography and ensure solar potential to the extent possible. <br />Developer shall be encouraged to investigate techniques other than <br />grid-type division of land when planning for development. (Policy 5) <br />Response: As stated throughout this narrative, the tentative cluster subdivision is substantially <br />similar to the condominium units approved under PDF 02-2. The configuration shown in <br />the Preliminary Plans is Exhibit A was found to be consistent with this policy as part to the <br />East Ridge Village PUD approval process. This tentative cluster subdivision substantially <br />conforms to the approved configuration and ensures solar potential to the maximum <br />extent possible. This policy is satisfied. <br />(c) The Laurel Hill Plan supports the South Hills Study standards. In <br />general, alteration of land contours shall be minimized to retain views <br />of natural features and retain as much of the forested atmosphere as <br />possible. Aside from purely aesthetic considerations, these hillsides <br />demand care in development because the topsoil is thin and the water <br />runoff is rapid. Proposed developments shall respect the above <br />considerations. The Valley hillside policy applies to all land with an <br />average slope, from toe to crest, of 15 percent or greater. (A 15-percent <br />slope is one in which the land rises 15 feet per 100 horizontal feet.) <br />1. If, in the opinion of the responsible City official, an adverse <br />conservation or geological condition exists upon a parcel of <br />land proposed for a subdivision, or before any major hillside <br />clearing, excavation, filling or construction is contemplated, <br />the requirements of the Uniform Building Code, Chapter 70, <br />Excavation and Grading, and those sections of the code <br />relative to foundation design may be invoked. <br />2. Considerable latitude shall be allowed the developer in the <br />shaping, depth, and required street frontages of lots where it <br />is necessary to preserve the terrain. (Policy 6) <br />Response: As stated throughout this narrative, the tentative cluster subdivision is substantially <br />similar to the condominium homes approved under PDF 02-2. The configuration shown <br />in Exhibit A was found to be consistent with this policy as part to the East Ridge Village <br />PUD approval process. This tentative cluster subdivision modifies the approved PUD <br />layout that reduces the grading required and, therefore, conforms to the land contours <br />to a greater extent than the condominium layout. This policy is satisfied. <br />,~/►L7 East Highlands Lot 46 - City of Eugene November 2021 <br />PUD Modification, Cluster Subdivision, Property Line Adjustment and Page 41 <br />Slope Easement Vacation <br />
