WRITTEN STATEMENT
CHAMOTEE TRAILS, PUD
TENTATIVE PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION
Branch Engineering Inc. Project No. 06-224
This application proposes an 11 lot (10 buildable, 1 open space) residential planned unit
development on vacant property between Fox Hollow Road and West Amazon Drive, across from
Foxboro Lane (Tax Map 18-03-20-23, Tax Lot 1100).
The site is zoned R-1. OC2 12-1 removed the /WR overlay zoning. The Planned Unit
Development (PUD) process is applicable because the site falls within the South Hills Study and
is above 701 feet in elevation (EC 9.8305(1)(b)). A tentative subdivision application is submitted
concurrent with this PUD application.
9.8310 Tentative Planned Unit Development General Application Requirements.
(1) Ownership. The area included in a proposed PUD shall either be under single
ownership or common development control. The application shall include all
contiguous property under the same ownership or development control, shall be
signed by the owner of the property, and include such related information as
prescribed by the planning director. Otherwise contiguous parcels that are
separated by only a public right-of-way, shall be included in the PUD application
unless the public right-of-way is designated an arterial or collector on the street
classification map. If otherwise contiguous parcels are separated by an arterial or
parcels in the PUD application.
The land subject to this application is under one ownership and all contiguous
portions of that ownership are included.
(2) Project Coordinator and Professional Design Team. The tentative PUD
application shall identify the PUD project coordinator and the professional design
team and certify compliance with the following:

of the professional design team stating that the portion of the project in which
he or she was involved complies with the following:
1. Meets the standards of his or her profession.
2. Complies with the tentative PUD criteria.
The cover sheet includes signatures from all the design team members
stating that the plans prepared under their control meet the standards of
their profession and their interpretation of the PUD criteria.
(3) Phasing. The tentative PUD application shall include a phasing plan that
indicates any proposed phases for development, including the boundaries and
sequencing of each phase. Phasing shall progress in a sequence that promotes
street connectivity between the various phases of the development and
accommodates other required public improvements.
The PUD will not be phased.
(4) Density. Dwelling unit densities for PUDs shall be consistent with Table 9.2750
Residential Zone Development Standards. The calculation of the number of
dwelling units allowed shall be determined based on the following:
(a) Easement Calculations. If it is demonstrated that easements will benefit
residents of the proposed PUD, residential density calculations may include
areas in easements, with the exception of private streets or ingress/egress
easements.
(b) Dedications. If it is demonstrated that lands dedicated to the city will benefit
residents of the proposed PUD, residential density calculations may include
areas dedicated to the public for recreation or open space.
(c) Cumulative Density. When final plans are to be approved in phases, at no
time shall the cumulative residential density exceed the overall density per
acre established at the time of tentative plan approval.
Table 9.2750 establishes no minimum density and a maximum density of 14
units/acre. Based on subsection a above, the access drive shared by Lots 4-10 is
not included in the density calculations. By commonly accepted planning
principles, the private easement over the Open Space benefits the residents of the
PUD so is included in the density calculations. No land is proposed for dedication
to the public. The PUD will not be phased. Based on this, the PUD is 10 units on
4.25 acres (185,229 square feet) for a density of 2.4 units/acre.
(5) Needed Housing. If the proposal includes needed housing, as defined by State
statutes, the written statement submitted with the PUD application shall clearly
state whether the applicant is electing to use the general approval criteria in EC
9.8320 Tentative Planned Unit Development Approval Criteria General instead
Branch Engineering, Inc.

of the approval criteria found in EC 9.8325 Tentative Planned Unit Development
Approval Criteria Needed Housing.
This application includes needed housing. The needed housing approval criteria
apply as follows:
9.8325 Tentative Planned Unit Development Approval Criteria Needed Housing.
The hearings official shall approve, conditionally approve, or deny the PUD application
with findings and conclusions. Unless the applicant elects to use the general criteria
contained in EC 9.8320 Tentative Planned Unit Development Approval Criteria
General, where the applicant proposes needed housing, as defined by the State statutes,
the hearings official shall approve or approve with conditions a PUD based on
compliance with the following criteria:
(1) The applicant has demonstrated that the proposed housing is needed housing as
defined by State statutes.
ORS 197.303(1)(a)-(d) provides a definition of needed housing which is locally
implemented by the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Residential Lands
and Housing Study Draft Supply and Demand Technical Analysis (1999) and the
Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Residential Lands and Housing Study
Draft Site Inventory Document (1997). The site is included in Subarea 6
Southeast Eugene in the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area Residential
Lands and Housing Study Draft Site Inventory Document (1997), but is not given
a specific site number since it is less than 10 acres of low density. Although the
Envision Eugene process is creating updated studies and documentation, those
studies and documentation are not yet adopted and therefore are not applicable
to this application. The local documents identify a need for single-family housing
which is an allowed needed housing type under the state definition. This
definition and a category with identified need.
(2) The proposed land uses and densities within the PUD are consistent with the land
use designation(s) shown on the Metro Plan Land Use Diagram, as refined in any
applicable refinement plan.
The Metro Plan Land Use Diagram designates the site as Low Density
Residential. Metro Plan Policy A.9 describes Low Density Residential as having
a density of 10 units/gross acre or 14.28 units/net acre. EC 9.9630(2)(b)
establishes the maximum South Hills Study density east of Friendly Street as 5
units/gross acre. The discussion under EC 9.8310(4) is net density so not
applicable to this discussion. Based on the gross density definition at EC 9.0500,
the Open Space and half the adjoining street rights-of-way are included in the
density calculations. Based on this, the PUD is 10 units on 5.19 gross acres
(226,280 gross square feet) for a density of 1.9 units/gross acre.

(3) The PUD provides a buffer area between the proposed development and
surrounding properties by providing at least a 30 foot wide landscape area along
the perimeter of the PUD according to EC 9.6210(7).
EC 9.6210(7) contains the mass landscape standards. Per Code Interpretation CI
04-4, this applies to the portions of the PUD boundary that abut non-right-of-
way land. Fox Hollow Road is not legally fronting the PUD. However, since the
intervening land is too narrow to be developable and is owned by the city it is
adjacent for the purposes of this code section. EC 9.6210(7)(a)2-4 are only
applicable along arterial and collector rights-of-way so are not applicable to this
PUD.
For the reasons outlined above, this code section requires living plant materials
to cover 70% of a 30 foot buffer along the southerly and westerly PUD
boundaries. The 30 foot buffer area along the southerly boundary falls entirely
within the Open Space where the existing vegetation meets the criteria. The 30
foot buffer area along the westerly boundary falls within Lot 1 and the Open
Space. Where the 30 foot buffer is within the Open Space the existing vegetation
meets the criteria. For the remainder of the 30 foot buffer, the criteria will be met
at the time of home construction Lot 1.
(4)
preserves existing natural resources by compliance with all of the following:
OC2 12-1 removed the /WR overlay zoning through a determination that no Goal
5 water resources exist on the site. However, Figure H-2 of the Scenic Sites
Working Paper shows the site as included within a Goal 5 area. The Scenic Sites
Working Paper was cited in the DLCD Acknowledgement Report for the Metro
Plan (Aug 14, 1981). Since the site is within a Goal 5 area, these criteria are not
applicable.
(5) There shall be no proposed grading on portions of the development site that meet
or exceed 20% slope.
The site area with slopes of 20% or greater is shown with crosshatching on the
plans submitted with this application. The limits of this area were determined
using a computer generated terrain model. The final plat and/or associated
documents will identify the hatched area as not having grading allowed.

(6) The PUD provides safe and adequate transportation systems through compliance
with all of the following:
(a) EC 9.6800 through EC 9.6875 Standards for Streets, Alleys and Other Public
Ways (not subject to modifications set forth in subsection (11) below).
9.6810 Block Length
Without an exception, the maximum block length is 600 feet. A block length
of approximately 900 feet exists along West Amazon Drive between Fox
Hollow Road and Vivian Drive. The PUD qualifies for an exception under
EC 9.6810(1). To dedicate a street through the site shortening the block
length would require disturbance to the steep slopes protected in the Open
Space.
9.6815 Connectivity for Streets
Disturbance to the steep slopes protected in the Open Space qualifies the
PUD for an exception to the connectivity standards per EC 9.6815(2)(g)2a.
9.6820 Cul-de-Sacs
No cul-de-sacs are proposed.
9.6830 Intersections of Streets and Alleys
No intersections are prosed.
9.6850 Street Classification Map
The Street Classification Map shows West Amazon Drive and Vivian Drive
as local designations.
9.6855 Street Names
No streets are proposed.
9.6860 Street Right-of-Way Map
The Street Right-of-Way map does not show widths for either West Amazon
Drive or Vivian Drive. The right-of-way and paving widths are discussed
further under 9.6870 Street Width below.
Branch Engineering, Inc.

Written Statement
Chamotee Trails PUD
February 3, 2015
9.6865 Transit Facilities
LTD Routes 24 and 73 serve the site via the Donald Street/Fox Hollow Road
intersection. A pedestrian path from the PUD to the intersection is
approximately 0.44 miles at a maximum (measured from the
hammerhead).
9.6870 Street Width
West Amazon Drive and Vivian Drive have right-of-way widths of 60 feet.
West Amazon Drive has a pavement width of 20 feet and Vivian Drive is not
constructed. Table 9.6870 Right-of-Way and Paving Widths states that low
volume residential streets are to have a right-of-way width of 45-55 feet and
paved width of 20-28 feet. A code conflict exists regarding the required
width within these ranges. EC 9.6860 states that the widths are to be the
maximum of the range; however EC 9.6870 states that the widths are to be
the minimum of the range.
9.6875 Private Street Design Standards
No private streets are proposed.
(b) Provision of pedestrian, bicycle and transit circulation among buildings
located within the development site, as well as to adjacent and nearby
residential areas, transit stops, neighborhood activity centers, office parks,
and industrial parks, provided the city makes findings to demonstrate
¼ mile that can reasonably be expected to be used by pedestrians, and uses
within 2 miles that can reasonably be expected to be used by bicyclists.
Several city park properties ar

would walk from the PUD lots. Regardless of how the ¼ mile is measured,
it is not reasonable to expect pedestrians to walk from the PUD to any
surrounding uses because Fox Hollow Road is a major collector with no
pedestrian improvements, not even a shoulder.
City parks, extensive residential areas, some commercial and a few
icycle buffer. An
attempt was not made to measure an actual path between the site and these
uses since it would unnecessarily complicate the discussion. The Fox Hollow
Road bike lane comes no closer to the site than Donald Street. The segment
of Fox Hollow Road between the PUD and Donald Street is a major collector
with no shoulder, steep grades and limited sight distance. It is not
reasonable to expect or encourage bicycle traffic in this area.

owns land in the
area, in the form of unimproved rights-of-way and standard tax lots, which
could be improved with a multi-use path providing access to Spencer Butte
and Amazon Headwaters Parks. It is our understanding that Tax Lot 4500,
adjacent to the south side of the PUD, was granted to the city for this exact
purpose.
(c) The street layout of the proposed PUD shall disperse motor vehicle traffic
onto more than one public local street when the PUD exceeds 19 lots or when
the sum of the proposed PUD lots and the existing lots utilizing a local street
as the single means of ingress and egress exceeds 19.
Under EC 9.0500, street includes both improved and unimproved right-of-
way. The dedicated West Amazon Drive right-of-way connects from Fox
Hollow Road to Martin Street.
(7) The PUD complies with all of the following:
(a) EC 9.2000 through 9.3915 regarding lot dimensions and density
requirements for the subject zone. Within the /WR Water Resources
Conservation Overlay Zone or /WQ Water Quality Overlay Zone, no new lot
may be created if more than 33% of the lot, as created, would be occupied by
either:
The site is zoned R-1 Low Density Residential and does not have the /WR or
/WQ overlays; therefore, only the Residential Zone standards are
applicable.
Table 9.2750 Residential Zone Development Standards requires a
maximum net density of 14 units per acre. The PUD is 10 units on 4.45 acres
(193,868 square feet) for a density of 2.2 units/acre. The remainder of the
criteria set forth in this table are discussed under EC 9.8325(11).
Table 9.2760 Residential Zone Lot Standards is also applicable. Standard
lots must be a minimum of 4500 square feet and flag lots must be a
minimum of 6000 square feet in the flag. A maximum of 13,500 square feet
applies to standard and flag lots. All lots, except 3 and 6, are within the
range. Both Lots 3 and 6 exceed 13,500 square feet in total lot area.
However, their developable lot area (area with less than 20% slope) is less
than 13,500 square feet. There is a frontage requirement of 50 feet for
interior and corner lots and 25 feet total for multiple flag lots. All lots meet
or exceed the minimum. Standard lots and flag lots must have a minimum
width of 50 feet. All lots meet or exceed the minimum. The Open Space is a
non-buildable lot so the above standards are not applicable to it.
Branch Engineering, Inc.

(b) EC 9.6500 through EC 9.6505 Public Improvement Standards.
9.6500 Easements
West Amazon Drive. No other easements are
needed.
9.6505 Improvements Specifications
Water is proposed to be supplied by EWEB. A fire hydrant is at the West
Amazon Drive/Foxboro Lane intersection. The furthest corners of all
buildable areas are within 600 feet of this hydrant so no new hydrants are
proposed. Sanitary sewer service will be provided to all the lots by a new
main and laterals connecting into the sanitary sewer system running east
from Foxboro Ln. The new main will be a gravity public line and extend
from an existing manhole in Foxboro Ln to a new manhole near the
northeast corner of Lot 1. Each lot will have a separate lateral that connects
to the new manhole via the Joint Utility Trench. The laterals will be
individual pressure lines since the system in Foxboro Ln is not deep enough
to allow a gravity connection. The requirement to pave streets adjacent to
the application references EC 9.6870 which requires paving to the
minimum set forth in Table 9.6870. West Amazon Drive is already paved
to the minimum. Based on feedback from the Neighborhood-Applicant
Meeting, this application requests authorization to add gravel to the
shoulder for on-street parking. Vivian Drive qualifies for an adjustment
under EC 9.803(19)(b) since none of the lots will be taking access from the
right-of-way. No sidewalks or bicycle paths and accessways are proposed.
(c) EC 9.6706 Development in Flood Plains through EC 9.6709 Special Flood
Hazard Areas Standards.
The site is shown on FIRM map 41039C1627F, bearing an effective date of
o be Outside 500-Year
Floodplain.
(d) EC 9.6710 Geological and Geotechnical Analysis.
As discussed earlier in this Written Statement, under EC 9.8325(4) the PUD
falls within a Goal 5 designation. Therefore based on a combination of EC
9.6710(6) and EC 9.6710(3)(f) the PUD is exempt from a Geotechnical
Analysis.
(e) EC 9.6730 Pedestrian Circulation On-Site.
This application does not include any institutional, office, commercial,
industrial or multi-family aspects; therefore this criterion is not applicable.
Branch Engineering, Inc.
Page 9 of 13
Written Statement
Chamotee Trails PUD
February 3, 2015
(f) EC 9.6735 Public Access Required.
All lots have frontage on a public street right-of-way.
(g) EC 9.6750 Special Setback Standards.
As discussed under EC 9.8325(6)(a) the rights-of-way and street
improvements meet the applicable width criteria; therefore no special
setbacks are needed.
(h) EC 9.6775 Underground Utilities.
All new utilities will be placed underground.
(i) EC 9.6780 Vision Clearance Area.
The vision clearance criteria apply to street intersections. Since there are
no street improvements within the Vivian Drive right-of-way, there are no
street intersections to which this criteria is applicable.
(j) EC 9.6791 through 9.6797 regarding stormwater destination, pollution
reduction, flow control for headwaters area, oil control, source control,
easements, and operation and maintenance.
EC 9.6791 Stormwater Flood Control
The stormwater created by the PUD will be discharged via a spreader on
the Vivian Drive right-of-way near the south line of Lot 10. The spreader is
designed to maintain the existing flow patterns. Refer to the Stormwater
Management Plan and Drainage Study and the Stormwater Operation and
Maintenance Plan for design information.
EC 9.6792 Stormwater Quality
The stormwater created by the shared driveway will be directed to a
vegetated swale for filtration prior to discharge. Each individual lot will be
responsible for stormwater treatment at the time of construction. Refer to
the Stormwater Management Plan and Drainage Study and the
Stormwater Operation and Maintenance Plan for design information.
EC 9.6793 Stormwater Flow Control (Headwaters)
The Headwaters Streams Map indicates a headwaters stream may exist on
the property; however given the scale and detail of the map it is hard to be
certain if it is on or near the property. A comparison of the Headwaters
Streams Map with Goal 5 Water Resources Conservation Plan, Section IV,
Map 9 before approval of OC2 12-1 shows that the headwaters stream is the
Branch Engineering, Inc.
Page 10 of 13
Written Statement
Chamotee Trails PUD
February 3, 2015
same as the Goal 5 stream. Since OC2 12-1 determined that the Goal 5
stream begins on the east side of Vivian Drive, the Headwaters stream also
begins on the east side of Vivian Drive and is not on the PUD.
The spreader location is close enough to the headwaters stream to be
considered
headwaters criteria applicable per EC 9.6793(a)(4). The swale and
spreader have been designed and located per the Stormwater Management
Manual. The Stormwater Management Plan and Drainage Study details
the impervious areas and how the design will restrict post-development
flows to pre-development rates.
EC 9.6794 Stormwater Oil Control
The PUD is not commercial or industrial and will create less than the
required trips and off-street parking spaces.
EC 9.6795 Stormwater Source Controls
The PUD will not include any of the improvements listed under EC
9.6795(2).
EC 9.6796 Dedication of Stormwater Easements
The PUD does not have any publically maintained stormwater facilities.
EC 9.6797 Stormwater Operation and Maintenance
No public waters are to be treated by the vegetated swale. Private
maintenance obligations of the swale will be included in the final plat. Refer
to the Stormwater Management Plan and Drainage Study and the
Stormwater Operation and Maintenance Plan for additional information.
(8) The applicant has demonstrated that wastewater service, transportation service,
stormwater service, water service, and electrical service will be provided to the site
prior to the need for those facilities and services. Where the facility or service is
not already serving the site, this demonstration requires evidence of at least one of
the following:
The public wastewater main from the Foxboro Lane manhole to the site will be
privately designed and constructed through the PEPI process. Transportation,
water and electric are available in West Amazon Drive. As established in the
Stormwater Management Plan and Drainage Study and the Stormwater
Operation and Maintenance Plan a connection to a public stormwater system is
not required.

(9) All proposed dwellings within the PUD are within ¼ mile radius (measured from
any point along the perimeter of the development site) of an accessible recreation
area or open space that is at least 1 acre in size and will be available to the residents.
The Open Space is open to all residents of the PUD.
(10) Lots proposed for development with one-family detached dwellings shall comply
with EC 9.2790 Solar Lot Standards (these standards may be modified as set forth
in subsection (11) below).
The Open Space slopes at greater than 20% towards the north so is exempt from
the solar lot criteria per EC 9.2790(4)(a). Lots 1-3 have a north south dimension
equal to or greater than 75 feet and a front lot line orientation within 30°of east-
west. The alignments of West Amazon Drive and Vivian Drive prevent the
remaining lots from having their front lot line orientation within 30° of east-
west, qualifying Lots 4-10 for an exception per EC 9.2790(3)(b)2.
(11) The PUD complies with all applicable development standards explicitly addressed
in the application except where the applicant has shown that a modification is
consistent with the purposes as set out in EC 9.8300 Purpose of Planned Unit
Development.
Table 9.2750 Residential Zone Development Standards sets forth development
standards beyond those discussed above. However because no structures exist
on the site, the standards not discussed are not applicable.
Except for the driveway shared by Lots 4-10, the PUD does not establish access
points to the public right-of-way. The joint-use driveway complies with the
access spacing standards criterion of EC 7.420 applicable to local street access
connections and nothing in the PUD prevents Lots 1-3 from complying at the time
of lot development.
Because two flag lots (Lots 5 and 6) are proposed, the criteria at EC 9.2775 are
applicable. A portion of these criteria are duplicated in Table 9.2760 and were
already discussed under EC 9.8325(7) and a portion are not applicable until the
time of lot development; the following are comments regarding the remaining
criteria. The pole is a part of the overall lot, therefore the pole and flag areas are
under one ownership. Access is via the poles with an access easement that is over
and slightly wider than the combined poles. The paving width is 28 feet to allow
for fire access and parking on both sides.

(12) For any PUD located within or partially within the boundaries of the South Hills
Study, the following additional approval criteria apply:
(a) No development shall occur on land above an elevation of 900 feet except
that one dwelling may be built on any lot in existence as of August 1, 2001.
The highest elevation in the PUD is 842.
(b) Development shall be setback at least 300 feet from the ridgeline unless there
is a determination by the city manager that the area is not needed as a
the ridgeline trail shall be considered as the line indicated as being the urban
growth boundary within the South Hills Study plan area.
The ridgeline is more than 300 feet to the south and east of the PUD.
(c) Development shall cluster buildings in an arrangement that results in at least
40% of the development site being retained in 3 or fewer contiguous common
open space areas. For purposes of this section, the term contiguous open
space means open space that is uninterrupted by buildings, structures,
streets or other improvements.
The Open Space is 49% (94,895 square feet of 193,868 square feet) of the
PUD.
(d) Residential density is limited as follows:
As discussed under EC 9.8325(2), the PUD is 10 units on 5.19 gross acres
(226,280 gross square feet) for a density of 1.9 units/gross acre which is less
than the 5 units/gross acre allowed east of Friendly Street.
