<br />Response: Kourt Dr. is designated as a local street which requires a right-of-width of 40’ – 55’ <br />and a paving width of 20’ – 44’. At the subject property, Kourt Dr. provides approximately 50’ <br />of right-of-way mask and 24’ of paving width. The proposal complies with fire and emergency <br />vehicles access requirements delineated in EC 9.6870. <br /> <br />(e) Except for applications proposing housing to be reviewed with clear and objective approval <br />criteria, all applicants shall show that the proposed street alignment shall minimize excavation and <br />embankment and avoid impacts to natural resources, including water-related features. <br /> <br />Response: No housing or streets are proposed with this Tentative Partition plan. This <br />criterion is not applicable. <br /> <br />(f) In cases where a required street connection would result in the extension of an existing street <br />that is not improved to city standards and the street has an inadequate driving surface, the <br />developer shall construct a temporary barrier at the entrance to the unimproved street section with <br />provision for bicycle, pedestrian, and emergency vehicle access. The barrier shall be removed by <br />the city at the time the existing street is improved to city standards or to an acceptable standard <br />adopted by the public works director. In making a determination of an inadequate driving surface, the <br />public works director shall consider the street rating according to Eugene’s Paving Management <br />System and the anticipated traffic volume. <br /> <br />Response: There are no required street connections with this proposal, unimproved or <br />otherwise. This criterion is not applicable. <br /> <br />(g) Except for applications proposing housing to be reviewed with clear and objective approval <br />criteria, in the context of a Type II or Type III land use decision, the city shall grant an exception to <br />the standards in subsection 2)(b), (c) or (d) if the applicant demonstrates that any proposed <br />exceptions are consistent with either subsection 1. or 2. below:… <br />2.

The <br />proposal complies with these criteria. <br /> <br />9.6820 – Cul-de-sacs or Emergency Vehicle Turnarounds. <br /> <br />Response: There are no existing street terminations that require a cul-de-sac to be developed <br />or future extensions adjacent to the subject property that require a temporary easement for <br />an emergency vehicle turnaround; this criterion is not applicable. <br /> <br />9.6830 – Intersections of Street and Alleys. <br /> <br />Response: Kourt Dr. is existing.
