utility easements shall be a minimum of 14 feet wide. Approved final PUD drawings shall clearly identify which facilities are private and public facilities. The applicant also indicates that they intend to incorporate "green" storm systems in their design proposal. Although these measures are not required, Public Works staff encourages "green" stormwater quality designs. The applicant shall use the City of Eugene's adopted Stormwater Quality BMP Manual or Portland's Stormwater Manual to design and construct any "green" stormwater facilities. "Green" infrastructure are primarily private facilities and should not be located in the public right of way, however, if during the review process the use of the right-of-way is approved as the best location, a revocable permit will be required. Maintenance responsibilities shall be included in the revocable permit and identified in the CC&R's. The proposed storm drainage swales for street runoff are considered a "green" stormwater feature that may be a public improvement. The designated location conflicts with the planter strip area and the applicant shall be responsible for providing a design that is compatible with street tree requirements. Incorporating swales that carry storm drainage from the streets can impact the life and stability of most of the approved tree species. The Urban Forester shall review and approve alternative tree species before the privately engineered public improvement plans are approved. Another conflict that needs to be resolved is the design of the drainage openings in the curbs. The City's standard street maintenance policy allows for the street sweepers to clean the gutter bar, but not the drainage openings. Properties adjacent to the rights of way are responsible for maintenance of the sidewalks and planter strips. A storm drainage maintenance agreement shall be reviewed and approved before privately engineered public improvements are approved. Private storm drainage connections to the public system shall be designed and constructed perpendicular to the street. Connections similar to the two private basin connections along Crescent Avenue shown on sheet C 1.6 of the plans will not be permitted. Based on the above findings and conclusions, staff recommends the Hearings Official find that the proposal complies with this criterion. c) EC 9.6706 Development in Flood Plains through EC 9.6709 Special Flood Hazard Areas - Standards. The subject property is located in Zone X, outside the 500-year flood plain per Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) for this area (41039C1 129F, 41039C1133F and 41039C1 135F effective date June 2, 1999). As such, FEMA regulations not apply to the proposed development. d) EC 9.6710 Geological and Geotechnical Analysis. The applicant submitted a Level One Geological and Geotechnical Analysis as required for a PUD development site having slopes less than 5% that include dedication and construction of public improvements. Public Works staff referral comments confirm the analysis complies with this criterion and that a higher level of investigation is not required at this time. This criterion is satisfied. e) EC 9.6730 Pedestrian Circulation On-Site. As proposed, the development generally complies with this criterion as it relates to office and commercial development. Pedestrian paths are shown between all building entrances and streets adjacent to the Staff Report for Crescent Village PUD (PDT 04-1) April 19, 2004 Page 29 of 54
