Master Plan. identifies a future connector from the east end of McClure Lane to the riverfront path, <br />farther to the south of the subject property. The development proposes an internal sidewalk system <br />that terminates at the southeast property corner, which would enable a future connection through <br />the abutting City parkland to the McClure system to the south. (Refer to Attachment C.) <br />The segment of the internal sidewalk system that is located between the most easterly building (a bike <br />barn) and the east property line is shown as having a graveled, rather than a paved, surface. This <br />unimproved surface is appropriate because there are no plans or funding for construction of a public <br />path on the City property at this location. Residents of the development will naturally want to walk <br />across the City parkland toward the river. Parks staff state no objections or concerns. This proposed <br />path at least delineates a more confined direction of travel, rather than random wandering through <br />the City's resource area. This portion of the City property has been cultivated as a filbert orchard, <br />which has been maintained by the former owner of.the subject property, as discussed in the <br />applicant's written statement. There appears to be an informal path between the orchard and the <br />subject property that would direct travelersto the southerly McClure Lane right-of-way. Public Works <br />staff confirms that the planned bicycle and pedestrian connection through the City's parkland is from <br />McClure Lane toward the easterly West Bank Bike Path, which is a regional facility that borders the <br />west bank of the Willamette River. <br />The applicant's plans also show an informal path, along the north property line, from the existing end <br />of Oakleigh Lane to the riverfront path system. On page 31 of the written statement, the applicant <br />indicates that the path "will be improved and maintained by Oakleigh Meadow, LLC." The applicant <br />does not propose to improve the path with pavement,. but rather to keep its current conditions open <br />to the public. The right-of-way dedication being required for Oakleigh Lane covers most of this <br />informal path. Between this right-of-way and the east property line (24 lineal feet), a 13-foot wide <br />public access way is necessary to provide for a future bike path connection from the approved <br />turnaround and sidewalk in the direction of the West Bank Bike Path. <br />In order to ensure-compliance with the standards of EC 9.6835 Public Accessways, EC 9.6820 Cul-de- <br />Sacs and Turnarounds,-and to implement the applicant's alternative street study, as required for an <br />exception to EC 9.6815 Street Connectivity, the following conditions of approval are necessary: <br />Prior to final PUD approval, the applicant shall revise the final site plan to show the dedication <br />of 22.5 feet of right-of-way along the northerly boundary of the development, between the <br />westerly boundary of the proposed development and a line that is 50 feet east of the westerly <br />boundary, and also to show the dedication of 13 feet of right-of-way extending from the <br />aforementioned. line (the east end of the required 22.5 feet of right-of-way dedication) to a <br />line that is 117 feet beyond (east of) the existing the existing right-of-way (for a total length of <br />199 feet). Additionally, the revised site plan shall show the dedication of a 13-foot wide Public <br />Accessway along the northerly boundary, which extends from the east end of the <br />aforementioned right-of-way to the easterly property boundary (for a total distance of 24 <br />lineal feet). <br />Prior to final PUD approval, the applicant shall submit for review and approval by City staff <br />and recording at Lane County Deeds and Records, a street deed which reflects the right-of- <br />way as shown on the final site plan. <br />Staff Report: Oakleigh Meadows Cohousing September 2013 Page 14 <br />HO Agenda - Page 21 1001 <br />
