Co-housing Development <br />Eugene Qregen 97441 <br />Phone & Fax <br />541-485.3215 <br />am writing this letter in support. of the proposed Oakleigh. Meadows o-housing <br />1 <br />infrr..'~ccF; ong.corri <br />. <br />development. at the east end of Oakleigh Lane. This planned unit development <br />will contain 28 dwelling units in seven buildings with a common house in the <br />center of the development. The ]plinth Edition of the Institute of Transportation <br />Engineers Trip Generation Manual classifies this type of development as a <br />``residential condorninlum/townhouse" development. <br />The City took a conservative approach and used a trip generation rate for single- <br />family detached housing of one PM peak hour trip per unit and assumed 29 units. <br />Since this development will actually be townhouses, the weighted average trip <br />rate from the Trip Generation Manual would be 0.52 trips per unit or 15 PM peak <br />hour trips. So whether one uses 15 or 29 peak hour taps, or some number in <br />between, all are well below the City's threshold of 10O peak hour trips that would <br />trigger a traffic impact malysis. 1 concur with the swaflf :,ndings that this <br />development will not regl.lre hirther traffic impact analysis or reduce safety or <br />Transportation Enginccringi <br />service levels. in the area. <br />Traffic D.Sign <br />Yours very truly, <br />Trip Generation <br />- <br />Access Managern.0 <br />~ <br />~ <br />Traffic Counts <br />y rp~ji <br />~ <br />1~0 <br />Sircet Liyhfiug <br />. <br />OREGON <br />F 1 tit <br />RENEWS 6130114 <br />Michael Weishar, P <br />Access Engineering LLC <br />
