15th and High Street 6-plex Page 11 of 11 <br />Adjustment Review Application: Written Statement <br />January 14, 2026, revised: March 4, 2026 <br /> <br />Schirmer Consulting, LLC · PO Box 10424, Eugene, OR 97440 · (541) 234-5108 <br />Landscape Architecture + Land Use Planning <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. Garages are located internal to the site and do not front either street, which reduces both <br />the visual impact of garage doors and the associated safety impacts along the public frontage. All vehicles will enter <br />and exit the site from a single, clearly visible access point. No backing movements will occur from the access drive <br />onto the public street, and all forward and backward vehicle movements associated with the garages will occur <br />entirely within the site. This design eliminates the potential for vehicles to back directly into the path of pedestrians, <br />bicyclists, or passing vehicles. <br />The development places residential entries, porches, and windows along the street frontage, reinforcing natural <br />surveillance, supporting a walkable neighborhood character, and creating a more pedestrian-friendly environment. <br /> <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 />
