15th and High Street 6-plex Page 10 of 10 <br />Adjustment Review Application: Written Statement <br />January 14, 2026 <br /> <br />Schirmer Consulting, LLC · PO Box 10424, Eugene, OR 97440 · (541) 234-5108 <br />Landscape Architecture + Land Use Planning <br />development site, will not negatively impact the efficiency of the public right-of-way, and will not <br />result in a hazard to the bicycle, pedestrian or vehicular traffic using the right-of-way. <br /> <br />High Street is one lane of travel to the north. There is a two way bike lane on the development side <br />of High Street (west). The bike lane is clearly marked with striping, directional arrows and reflective <br />bollards. <br /> <br />The driveway is perpendicular to High Street. There are no line of sight obstructions between the <br />site access and the turning movements at the intersection of East 15th Avenue and High Street. <br />Vehicles leaving the site can readily see both cyclists in the bike lane and vehicles in High Street. <br />See illustration at the end of this written statement. <br /> <br />The speed limit on High Street is 25 MPH for vehicles. Cyclists and pedestrians will be moving at <br />slower speeds. There is ample unobstructed view for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists leaving the <br />site and passing by the site to see and avoid conflict. <br /> <br />A vehicle entering the site can readily see pedestrians on the sidewalk, and cyclists in the bike lane <br /> <br />There are no opposing driveways on the east side of High Street. <br /> <br />The proposed development is expected to generate approximately three peak-hour vehicle trips. <br />This represents a negligible traffic volume on High Street, a low-speed local residential street, and <br />will not materially increase the potential for conflicts with pedestrians or bicyclists. <br /> <br />In Conclusion <br />The proposed site design enhances the pedestrian environment along both East 15th Avenue and High Street by <br />consolidating access into a single shared driveway, thereby reducing curb cuts and limiting potential vehicle– <br />pedestrian conflict points. The development places residential entries, porches, and windows along the street <br />frontage, reinforcing a walkable neighborhood character and pedestrian friendly environment. <br /> <br />Applicant has shown that the proposed adjustments to the standards will provide safe ingress and egress to the <br />development site while preserving the ability to add housing. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Schirmer Consulting, LLC <br /> <br />Carol Schirmer <br />Principal <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
