EC 9.8680 Aaaroval Criteria <br />The planning director shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny an application for <br />Traffic Impact Analysis Review following a Type II process, or as part of a Type III process <br />when in conjunction with a CUP or PUD. Approval or conditional approval shall be based <br />on compliance with the following criteria: <br />(1) Traffic control devices and public or private improvements as necessary to <br />achieve the purposes listed in this section will be implemented. These improvements <br />may include, but are not limited to, street and intersection improvements, sidewalks, <br />bike lanes, traffic control signs and signals, parking regulation, driveway location, and <br />street lighting. <br />The applicant is proposing to develop the site with an online auto auction and vehicle storage <br />facility. Daily operations include the delivery of car carriers with vehicles for sale, the storage of <br />vehicles on site, and the delivery of vehicles from the site to owners. Adjacent uses include a <br />mix of commercial and agricultural uses. The site is bounded to the north by Airport Road, <br />classified as a minor arterial, and to the south by Clear Lake Road, classified as a major <br />collector. The proposed access to the site is from Clear Lake Road; no access from Airport Road <br />is proposed. Clear Lake Road is a two-lane rural road under the jurisdiction of Lane County with <br />no curb, gutter, or sidewalks. <br />The applicant's engineer (Sandow Engineering) provided analysis in accordance with the <br />standards for a TIA. Street network, intersection crash evaluation, trip generation, background <br />traffic volumes, intersection counts and analysis, performance measures, queuing analysis, <br />truck turn movements, and intersection improvements were all performed in accordance with <br />project scoping, Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) standards and industry standards. <br />The submitted revised TIA evaluated the intersections of Clear Lake Road at Highway 99N and <br />Clear Lake Road at the site access connection. It is noted that Highway 99N is under the <br />jurisdiction of Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). <br />The TIA included capacity, operational and safety analyses for the proposed intersections. No <br />operational or safety issues were identified. Build out level of service and volume to capacity <br />ratios were below acceptable thresholds. Lane County Transportation and Eugene Public Works <br />Engineering staff did note a conflict with larger trucks exiting the site via right turn movements. <br />The applicant supplied supplemental information stating they will restrict right turn for trucks <br />over 50 feet in length and widen the driveway apron to 35 feet wide at the right of way line <br />tapering to 30 feet wide for the driveway to the site. <br />The TIA analyzed the two intersections within the study area. All intersections are expected to <br />operate within acceptable AM and PM adjacent street peak hour levels of service during the <br />opening year of the site's operation. The TIA concludes that the volume to capacity level of <br />service (v/c LOS) is expected to exceed acceptable levels in the 5 -year planning horizon at the <br />intersection of Highway 99N and Clear Lake Road.
