Applicant’s Written Statement - Lincoln Commons Site Review 19 (f) In cases where a required street connection would result in the extension of an existing street that is not improved to city standards and the street has an inadequate driving surface, the developer shall construct a temporary barrier at the entrance to the unimproved street section with provision for bicycle, pedestrian, and emergency vehicle access. The barrier shall be removed by the city at the time the existing street is improved to city standards or to an acceptable standard adopted by the public works director. In making a determination of an inadequate driving surface, the public works director shall consider the street rating according to Eugene’s Paving Management System and the anticipated traffic volume. This standard does not apply because the development will not result in any street extensions to unimproved roadways. (g) Except for applications proposing housing to be reviewed with clear and objective approval criteria, in the context of a Type II or Type III land use decision, the city shall grant an exception to the standards in subsection (2)(b), (c) or (d) if the applicant demonstrates that any proposed exceptions are consistent with either subsection 1. or 2. below… This standard does not apply based on the applicant’s proposed Site Review under the using the City’s “Housing/Clear & Objective” approval criteria at EC 9.8445. Furthermore, the applicant is not requesting, nor should need any exceptions to street connectivity standards based on the fully improved street system in the area. (h) For applications proposing housing to be reviewed with clear and objective approval criteria, exceptions to street connectivity standards may be granted if one of the following conditions exists… This subsection provides an alternative means for requesting an exception based on clear and objective criteria. In this case, as well-demonstrated above, no street connectivity exception is needed. Unless the City finds or recommends otherwise, the applicant is not requesting and does not need any exceptions to street connectivity standards. As discussed above, no exceptions are needed, and the proposed development otherwise complies with applicable street connectivity standards at EC 9.6815(2). EC 9.6820 Cul-de-Sacs or Emergency Vehicle Turnarounds. No cul-de-sacs or new public streets are proposed or required in this instance, with secondary emergency access being available in multiple directions using the surrounding public street system. No emergency vehicle turnarounds otherwise appear to be required under these standards.
