RESPONSE: The application is proposing needed housing, therefore this section does not apply. (f) In cases where a required street connection would result in the extension of an existing street that is not improved to city standards and the street has an inadequate driving surface, the de veloper shall construct a temporary barrier at the entrance to the unimproved street section with provision for bicycle, pedestrian, and emergency vehicle access. The barrier shall be removed by the city at the time the existing street is improved to city standards or to an acceptable standard adopted by the public works director. In making a determination of an inadequate driving surface, the public works director shall consider the street rating according to Eugene's Pa ving Management System and the anticipated traffic volume. RESPONSE: All streets are proposed to be constructed to city standards. Therefore, this section does not apply. (g) 2. The applicant demonstrates that a connection cannot be made because of the existence of one or more of the following conditions: a. Physical conditions preclude development of the connecting street. Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, topography or likely impact to natural resource areas such as wetlands, ponds, streams, channels, rivers, lakes or upland wildlife habitat area, or a resource on the National Wetland Inventory or under protection by state or federal law. b. Buildings or other existing de velopment on adjacent lands, including previously subdivided but vacant lots or parcels, physically preclude a connection now or in the future, considering the potential for redevelopment. RESPONSE: There are no streets that terminate at the site. Therefore, this criteria is satisfied. EC 9.6820 Cul-de-Sacs - There are no proposed cul-de-sacs. EC 9.6830 Intersections for Streets and Alleys RESPONSE: 1 Angles - The proposed intersections are designed at 90 degrees to each other.

All surrounding street systems adjacent to and abutting the development property are under Lane County jurisdiction. Scenic Dr. is classified as a neighborhood collector. Dublin Ave. ise classified as a local streets by both Lane County and the City of Eugene. Since the streets are in the urban growth boundary of Eugene, Lane Code 15.137 (6) (a) states that "Within urban growth boundaries, block length and connectivity policies and standards specified in city transportation system plans and city development codes shall apply." Eugene Code 9.6830 (2) requires the minimum intersection offset shall be 100 feet on a local streets and 200 feet on a collector street. An Adjustment Review will be requested for the intersection spacing. EC 9.6835 Public Accessways - There are no existing or potential accessways on adjacent properties that would dictate the dedication or construction of a public accessway onto the adjacent properties. EC 9.6840 Reserve Strips- No reserve strips are required. EC 9.6855 Street Names - The proposed street Name of Sorric Ave. will be submitted for approval. EC 9.6870 Street Width - The proposed section of Sorric Ave. has a proposed right-of-way width of 40 feet with a paving width of 21 feet. An additional 10 feet of right-of-way dedication will occur on Scenic Dr. Also up to 20.87 feet of additional right-of-way will be dedicated on Dublin Ave. The proposed right-of-way dedication is consistent with the current right-of-way width that is abutting the site.
