Tentative Partition Plan for Mike Hagen – W. 25th Ave & Portland Alley <br />Page | 4 <br /> <br />(b) The proposed development shall include street connections in the direction of all existing or planned streets <br />within 1/4 mile of the development site. The proposed development shall also include street connections to any <br />streets that abut, are adjacent to, or terminate at the development site. <br /> <br />Response: The subject property is located on W 25th and Portland Alley. Connectivity routes for all streets within ¼ mile of the <br />proposed partition are accounted for – dedicated or developed. No streets terminate at the property. No new street connections are <br />proposed. The proposed partition complies with subsection (b), above. <br /> <br /> (c) The proposed development shall include streets that extend to undeveloped or partially developed land that is <br />adjacent to the development site or that is separated from the development site by a drainage channel, transmission <br />easement, survey gap, or similar property condition. The streets shall be in locations that will enable adjoining <br />properties to connect to the proposed development’s street system. <br /> <br />Response: No streets are proposed with this tentative partition plan. No land is separated from the subject property by a drainage <br />channel, transmission easement, survey gap, or similar property condition. The proposal complies with subsection (c), above. <br /> <br /> (d) Secondary access for fire and emergency medical vehicles consistent with EC 9.6870 is required. <br /> <br />Response: The existing right-of-way width for W 25th Ave is 50 feet, providing 35 feet of paving, in compliance with fire and emergency <br />vehicle access requirements. <br /> <br /> (e) Except for applications proposing housing to be reviewed with clear and objective approval criteria, all <br /> applicants shall show that the proposed street alignment shall minimize excavation and embankment and avoid <br /> impacts to natural resources, including water-related features. <br /> <br />Response: No housing or streets are proposed with this Tentative Partition plan. This criterion is not applicable. <br /> <br /> (f) In cases where a required street connection would result in the extension of an existing street that is not <br /> improved to city standards and the street has an inadequate driving surface, the developer shall construct a <br /> temporary barrier at the entrance to the unimproved street section with provision for bicycle, pedestrian, and <br /> emergency vehicle access. The barrier shall be removed by the city at the time the existing street is improved to city <br /> standards or to an acceptable standard adopted by the public works director. In making a determination of an <br /> inadequate driving surface, the public works director shall consider the street rating according to Eugene’s Paving <br /> Management System and the anticipated traffic volume. <br /> <br />Response: There are no required street connections with this proposal, unimproved or otherwise. <br /> <br /> (g) Except for applications proposing housing to be reviewed with clear and objective approval criteria, in the <br /> context of a Type II or Type III land use decision, the city shall grant an exception to the standards in subsection <br /> (2)(b), (c) or (d) if the applicant demonstrates that any proposed exceptions are consistent with either subsection 1. <br /> or 2. below: <br /> 1. The applicant has provided to the city, at his or her expense, a local street connection study that <br /> demonstrates: <br /> a. That the proposed street system meets the intent of street connectivity provisions of this land <br /> use code as expressed in EC 9.6815(1); and <br /> b. How undeveloped or partially developed properties within a quarter mile can be adequately <br /> served by alternative street layouts. <br /> 2. The applicant demonstrates that a connection cannot be made because of the existence of one or more of <br /> the following conditions: <br /> a. Physical conditions preclude development of the connecting street. Such conditions may <br /> include, but are not limited to, topography or likely impact to natural resource areas such as <br /> wetlands, ponds, streams, channels, rivers, lakes or upland wildlife habitat area, or a resource on <br /> the National Wetland Inventory or under protection by state or federal law. <br /> b. Buildings or other existing development on adjacent lands, including previously subdivided but <br /> vacant lots or parcels, physically preclude a connection now or in the future, considering the
