Public Testimony – Open Record Applicant’s Representative Testimony - July 31, 2024

Eugene Hearing Official July 31, 2024 Page 9 explains that EWEB requires a looped water distribution system if there are more than 30 services on a dead end line, which would occur if Middle Housing builds out fully in this project. The amended site plan submitted with this memo proposed two easements intended for looping the water lines if that is needed to serve future Middle Housing development. (b) Sewer: (discussed at Staff Report page 18): The relevant standard is in EC 9.6505(2): “(2) Sewage. All developments shall be served by the wastewater sewage system of the city, complying with provisions in Chapter 6 of this code.” The Staff Report at pages 18-19 summarizes this standard and confirms that the plans show the 8” sanitary line in Randy Lane will be extended through the project; proposed Condition 12 requires an updated site plan showing service to proposed Lot 38. As is typical for Staff Reports addressing the details of the sanitary system, it finds that the proposal can comply with city specifications (“[T]he applicant’s proposed wastewater system conceptually complies with applicable sewage specifications, subject to a more detailed review during the subsequent PEPI permit process and building permit process.”) and requires detailed review in the PEPI process. That evidence demonstrates compliance with the current standards stated in the code. Furthermore, the KPFF memo submitted here documents that the proposed 8” sanitary line can handle any amount of Middle Housing development. (c) Stormwater: (discussed at Staff Report pages 21-22); EC 9.6790-9.6797. These code provisions refer to the Stormwater Management Manual, which itself is an acknowledged land use regulation. The Staff Reports finds, based on the applicant’s engineering report and the Public Works comments, that the standards can be complied with proposed conditions and future permitting requirements. That should resolve the matter. In addition, the KPFF memo includes further analysis premised on full Middle Housing buildout, which would increase the impervious surface on the site. About 4 times more detention volume would be required. KPFF concludes: “To detain this higher volume, more pipes would be added to the detention system. This approach is modular and easily scalable.” There was testimony suggesting collecting the increment of storm runoff from the lots and treating it for quality centrally, rather than doing it on the lots, as required by the City. As explained in the KPFF memo, this can be accomplished if that is determined to be desirable by
