Floral Hill Terrace Subdivision Tentative Subdivision – Written Statement 9 May 15, 2026 Schirmer Consulting, LLC · PO Box 10424, Eugene, OR 97440 · (541) 234-5108 Landscape Architecture + Land Use Planning EC 9.6815 Connectivity for Streets (2) Street Connectivity Standards (a) All streets and alleys shall be public unless the developer demonstrates that a public street or alley is not necessary for compliance with this land use code or the street connectivity standards of subparagraphs (b) through (f) of this subsection. Three streets are being proposed: Street A, Street B and Street C. Street A is proposed as a private street, Street B is proposed as a public street, and Street C is proposed as a private street. In multiple meetings with City of Eugene Public Works staff, this street design and designation was approved. (b) The proposed development shall include street connections in the direction of all existing or planned streets within ¼ mile of the development site. The proposed development shall also include street connections to any streets that abut, are adjacent to, or terminate at the development site. The project connects directly to Floral Hill Drive. There are no other existing or planned streets within ¼ mile of the development site that can be accessed or that abut, are adjacent to or terminate at the development site. (c) The proposed development shall include streets that extend to undeveloped or partially developed land that is adjacent to the development site or that is separated from the development site by a drainage channel, transmission easement, survey gap, or similar property condition. The streets shall be in locations that will enable adjoining properties to connect to the proposed development’s street system. Proposed Streets A, B and C extend to undeveloped or partially developed properties. To the north is an unannexed, approximately 3 acre property with a single unit dwelling. This is a likely property for future development. Streets A and B extend to this property. Street C extends to an undeveloped approximately .77 acres property to the south. To the east are undeveloped properties that are too steep for street connectivity. Adjoining properties will have access to connect to the proposed streets as shown. See Site Plan. (d) Secondary access for fire and emergency medical vehicles consistent with EC 9.6870 is required. The secondary access standards at EC 9.6815(2)(d) are satisfied by the proposed intersection of Street B and Floral Hill Drive, which will allow for access to the existing street system and the construction of emergency vehicle turn arounds within the development site. While the access to the vast majority of the proposed lots would rely on a single access point from the intersection of Floral Hill Drive and proposed Street B, the express language of EC 9.6815(2)(d) requires only that the property itself have a secondary access; it does not require secondary access to each, or even to a majority, of the lots.

(f) In cases where a required street connection would result in the extension of an existing street that is not improved. .
