Nick,
Please add me to the list of "Interested Parties" to receive public notices for PDT 17-1 (Capital
Hill).
Also would you please document the revised deadlines for:
a) Public Hearing Notice
b) Staff report
c) Public Hearing
d) HO Decision
Schirmer did not actually request a specific "longer time period" after the application was deemed
complete to schedule the public hearing, per EC 9.7310.
H Nick:
Please postpone the sche;ulpd January 10 he2dng plus a tirne out from the 120 day cluck With a 70 day time out.
We anticipate the next hearing date would he PA arch 711, 018.
Instead, she seemed to agree to an additional extension to the deadline for the "Final Action" per
ORS 227.178(1) and (5). Those are not the same deadlines, and EC 9.7310 requires a written
agreement by the applicant for a longer time period for the hearing.
If Schirmer agrees to a "longer time period" that is 60 days plus the sum of her requested
extensions (170 days), then, by my calculation, she would be agreeing to a hearing as late as April
16, 2017. However, the record is not clear on this.
In any case, staff needs to make sure timeline adjustments are clear and conform to EC 9.7310 et
seq and ORS 227.178(1) and (5) and ORS requirements for notices.
Thanks,
Paul

Code Compliance Complaint # 14-00246
Hi Nick,
I received a call back from Mark Tritt in Code Compliance yesterday, regarding the enforcement order 914-
00246 for Tom Dreyer's property at 2855 Capital Drive.
He could not give me any information, said that the person that might be able to help me is the Supervisor,
Rachelle Nicholas, who is out of the office until the first of January.
He suggested that I fill out the Record Search Application, submit it and call her January 2nd or 3rd.
Phillip Hubbard, also in Code Compliance, had been quite helpful a few weeks ago, and told me to call back
about this time to find out how the case has been resolved. He told me that a couple of the codes used to
determine the outcome are EC 9.1230 and 9.1245.
I plan to submit the Record Search Application in the next day or so.
I'm wondering whether you have information that you could share with us regarding the enforcement order.
Was there a fine involved or just a warning ? Can you possibly send us any of the written reports regarding the
meetings, phone calls, inspection and the order to correct that was mailed on 12/13/17 ?
I don't exactly know what the protocol is, but I guess that I should ask that this question be entered into the
record.
Thank you for your help and patience with us !

Hi Nathaniel,
The code requires us to send notice to everyone within 500 feet of the property boundary. The area you
describe is beyond 500 feet. Anyone can request to added to the list as an interested party. In the past few
days, I just went through the testimony and other emails and started adding people like yourself who are
beyond the 500 foot mark but did not actually request to be on the Interested Parties list, so that you and

Subject: Inadequate Mailing of Hearing Notice to Spring Blvd.
Hi Nick - I've been out of the country and without internet access from 6-17 Dec. Upon return and
looking at the mailing list posted for the Hearing Notice, I do not find any addresses in the 2200 to
2500 blocks of Spring Boulevard. As you know this is the only and crucial main route to the CHPUD.
Thus, it seems to me Notice would be as appropriate to these residences as to any other locations on
Spring Boulevard.
I hope that this omission would be corrected. Thanks very much.

Hi Nick. Sorry Ii didn't get to this earlier. Sorry to be such a pest here but in the middle of the first
page of the December list is "Curtis-Underriner Family Living Trust" at 2362 Malabar. (John Curtis &
Janne Underriner are on our Response Committee.) Their house is approx. two blocks north (2
blocks further away from) of Cathy Johnson's house and my house. (I doubt that John Curtis or
Janne Underriner specifically requested to be on the list, but maybe.) It just doesn't seem
consistent. And why was Schirmer's list much more inclusive when the notice requirements for
Neighborhood/Applicant Meeting and Notice of Hearing seem so similar?.
Given the controversy surrounding this proposed project, it just seems that the City should go out of
its way to notify every one potentially impacted by this proposed project.
Thanks as always for your help.
PS. Kathleen Masterson is on Spring Blvd. a few houses north of Nate Teich (i.e., further away from
the project).

Hi Nick. I saw the City's official mailing list for notices posted on the planning website for the project and was surprised to
find that I am not on it. Neither is Cathy Johnson, my neighbors on Spring or down Woodlawn, or Nate Teich or Kathleen
Masterson-
A quick counts shows the City mailed to about 140 people, with some duplicates. The Schirmer mailing list (for the
Neighborhood/Applicant Meeting) from February of this year (Exhibit to the 3/3/17 Application) has 346 names, although
the last 100 or so are "Current Occupant" and many are duplicates. It appears that the notice requirements for the
Neighborhood/Applicant meeting and for notice of the January 10, 2018 Public Hearing are pretty much the same. The
February Schirmer list was extracted from the Lane County Dept. of Assessment and Taxation. I closed escrow on my
house about Dec. 7, 2016. 1 didn't get the February notice but the previous owner at this address was on the February
list. My neighbors on Spring have lived there for many years, as have Cathy and Dave Johnson, who are across the
street with a Malabar St. address.
I don't think it's a distance "thing because other members of our Response Committee are further from the subject
property than Cathy Johnson & 1, yet are on the December 2017 mailing list. (But I doubt that they requested to be on it.)

Hi Nick. i know I'm a little late with this but thought I'd get the ball rolling today if possible.
The Response Committee had a meeting last night and discussed if it would be possible for some of us to have access to
Tom Dreyer's property.
Those interested include me, Cathy Johnson & Sheryl Kelly and possibly Jason Brown (as a group) to respond to issues
raised in the Application. Tom Bruno also thought that our forester, James Mehrwein, would likely want access and he
would be accompanied by one or two members of our group. These two small groups (and perhaps one more after we
poll our entire committee) would probably visit the site at different times ...could be sometime next week?? We would not
inconvenience Mr. or Mrs. Dreyer and, of course, would not alter anything on the property. How can we make this
happen?? Thanks as always for your assistance.
PS: Your providing the colored version of the site plan was very helpful. We used it as a handout in the Fairmount

Subject: FW: REVISED CHPUD - Possible Building Height
Hi Susan,
Nick asked if I could respond to your questions on building height since I review building permits and address
this standard on a regular basis at the permit center. You and the Committee have really done your
homework. You provide good analysis and well-informed questions below. The basic answer is, Yes, you
analysis is correct.
A way to summarize the definition: which attempts to provide some relief for steep lets is, you always measure
building height from the lowest point of the perimeter of the building at a distance S' from the wall. If the
difference is 10' or greater from that lowest point on the perimeter to the highest point you get 40' instead of
30'. If a house design shows only a 9' difference from lowest point to highest, it is more challenging for the
designer since you still measure from the lowest point but only get 30'.
Glad you identified the extra 7' allowed for 6 in 12 roof pitches or greater. Council viewed steeper roof pitches
as being more aesthetic and create less bulk or mass for a house. I would say most houses have at least this
standard so most houses get 37' or 47' on a steep slope for the maximum height.
Just let me know if you have any follow up questions. Thanks for asking.

Subject: REVISED CHPUD - Possible Building Height
Hi Nick. Guess I need some more coffee!! Please disregard the email sent a few minutes ago at
10:03 AM and use this one instead. Thanks.

Hi Nick. The Response Committee is trying to determine the possible height of buildings that could
be built on the proposed project, especially at the back of the lots on the east side of the property
where the land slopes drastically down to the Ribbon Trail. If you recall (seems like years ago!% we
touched on this briefly when I met with you in your office last spring. I also stopped by the "building
permit area" and briefly spoke to a lady who pointed me to some areas in the EC.
What is more than a little confusing is the definition of "Building Height" EC 9.0500 (page 9.0 -
9). There is also a schematic Building Height Calculation sheet Figure 9.0500 and the Table at
9.2750 Residential Zone Development Standards. The standards table indicates a max height for a
"main building" in R-1 as 30 ft. Got it. That max. 30 ft. height pertains to all of the lots in the proposed
CHPUD.
Below is the area we are having some difficulty with. Can you please confirm that we have this
right?
The schematic at EC 9.0500 interprets the two scenarios for building height calculations (discussed at
Building Height definition).
One is for a relatively minor slope situation. A measurement is taken 5 feet horizontally from the
higher side of the proposed house and the lower side of the proposed house. Measure the vertical
distance between those 2 grade levels. If it is 10 feet or less, use the point (grade level) at the lower
side of the house as the point of reference from which to measure 30 feet up for your max. building
height. Say that difference is 8 feet. Then 8 plus 22 gets you to 30. Max height under this scenario
is 30 feet all in. Right??
Steep slope situation. Again, a measurement is taken of grade level 5 feet horizontally from the
higher side of the proposed house and the lower side of the proposed house. If the vertical distance
between these 2 grade levels is greater than 10 feet ...say 15 feet ...the point of reference from which
to measure the allowable 30 foot building height is from a point 10 feet higher than the lowest grade
at the back of the house. Looking at a "cross section," you'd have 10 feet vertical at the bottom, plus
5 feet vertical to get even with the grade level at the front of house plus 25 feet vertical from there for
a max of 40 feet when viewed from the back of the house. Right??
Additionally, EC 9.6720 provides for an additional 7 feet in height for some architectural features and
roof structures provided the roof slope is 6:12 or greater.
Clear as mud?? Wow. Whoever wrote the definition for "Building Height" and all of its permutations
must have been in a really, really bad mood that day!! Can you please confirm that I have correctly
stated the two possible scenarios??
Thanks as always for your assistance.

Subject: RE: CHPUD Re-Routing of Cupola Drive due to Landslide Potential
Hi Susan,
The "change" in the site plan you mention below must have occurred prior to first submittal. The first submitted site
plan showed Cupola in the current proposed location. My guess is they investigated the road configuration in Figure 1
and then decided (probably for good reason) to eliminate the section that cut across the southeast lots where it is very
steep and no previous vehicular pathway existed. This is addressed in the same Geothecnicai Report as follows (page 3,
February 6, 2017):
Preliminary layouts provided to 6El in March 2016 included thirty-six individual lots and an additional access
road
traversing the steep southeastern slopes on the property (see Figure-1) which has since been removed following
site reconnaissance and meetings with the project design team.
So, to answer your question, it was NOT a City driven decision. Also, since all the site plans and revision we have
received showed Cupola Drive virtually in the same configuration as shown in Figure 2 of the Geotech, there is no other
documentation that I can provide. Since the site plan shown in the Geotech Figure 1 was never submitted as an actual
site plan, I would have to say it was included in the Geotech Report only for informational purposes and not a, "change
to the site plan" as you stated.
Thanks,
Nick

Subject: CHPUD Re-Routing of Cupola Drive due to Landslide Potential
Hi Nick. The Geotech Report prepared by Branch Engineering dated 2/6/17 (and the three page
letter update dated May 30, 2017) discuss landslide potential in the southeast area of the proposed
project. The site plan labeled Figure 1 in the report shows an original routing for the private drive
(Cupola Drive) as traversing the steep lots #15 through 20 (old site plan) and terminating at Capital
at the most southerly end of the PUD. Figure 2 in the report shows a revised site plan eliminating this
routing for Cupola and leaving a singular loop road connecting to Capital. This revised Cupola route is
to the north of the existing house and 3 unit apartment. The Figure 2 site plan also shows an
rectangular open space between Lots 18 & 19 where none existed on Figure 1. (Note that Figure 2 is
also somewhat dated and has incorrect lot numbers compared to the current site plan in the 8/22/17
application.) The 5/30/17 three page supplement to the Geotech Report indicates at the bottom of
page one "one location in the southeast portion of the site was mapped as the upper section of a
landslide area; subsequent site design omitted development in this area."
Was the site plan change "city driven"? Does your department and/or the city have any
documentation that you could provide to our committee regarding this change to the site plan??
Another member of our committee may have some more specific questions for you in this regard over
the coming days. Thanks as always for your assistance.
Sorry that this question is a little past the 9 AM guideline. Took me awhile to "pen it."

Subject: CHPUD -Possible Access to the Subject Property
Hi Nick. I know I'm a little late with this but thought I'd get the ball rolling today if possible.
The Response Committee had a meeting last night and discussed if it would be possible for some of
us to have access to Tom Dreyer's property.
Those interested include me, Cathy Johnson & Sheryl Kelly and possibly Jason Brown (as a group) to
respond to issues raised in the Application. Tom Bruno also thought that our forester, James
Niehrwein, would likely want access and he would be accompanied by one or two members of our
1
group. These two small groups (and perhaps one more after we poll our entire committee) would
probably visit the site at different times ...could be sometime next week?? We would not
inconvenience Mr. or Mrs. Dreyer and, of course, would not alter anything on the property. Now can
we make this happen?? Thanks as always for your assistance.
PS: Your providing the colored version of the site plan was very helpful. We used it as a handout in
the Fairmount Neighbors Assn. meeting Weds. evening, which was attended by about 100 people,
including the Applicant.

Hi Nick. Sorry to be the "night owl" but several members of our committee have volunteered to go to
Kinkos tomorrow to get large wall size copies of the new site plan if they can be posted in color. We
have already obtained a wall size copy of the black & white version dated 11/27/17 that is on the

Neighbors tomorrow in their meeting. We anticipate that the Applicant will be there (they usually are)
plus other community leaders and perhaps the press. We want to eliminate any opportunity for
confusion. Please place this request "on the record." Thanks as always for your assistance.
If the Applicant has not yet provided color copies of the revised site plan, please let us know. Thanks
again.
You can always contact me by phone at 541-654-5458.

Hi Susan,
Please forward this response to Mr Lorschieder. It is the same response to the previous question about class
5 counts dated sent to Nick Gioello on 11/20.
The City followed its design standards and the structure of Capital Drive is thick enough to accommodate twice
the expected traffic in the area over its design life. Heavy vehicles included. The City has no evidence that the
structure of the roadway network is incapable of accommodating the expected traffic from Capital Hill
PUD. The roadway network is structurally capable of accommodating the development.
Public Works staff has spent a significant amount of time answering a number of very detailed technical
questions regarding the design of Capital Drive outside the proposed Capital Drive development. I have
attached the pavement calculations for your reference. Our responses have been followed up with
appreciation but also with an increasing number of more detailed questions. It is clear that my responses are
not satisfactorily addressing your concerns. We have answered numerous questions and re-assured neighbors
that standards are met. I am not convinced that any level of Public Works Engineering response will satisfy
your concerns. I would recommend your group consult with a civil or geotechnical engineer to review the
report and help your group develop conclusions in response to the proposed development.
Thank you,

Susan,
The deadline got postponed along with the time extensions. 1 anticipate Public Works comments coming in around
December V. I do not know What the Fire Department will do yet, but they have committed to providing additional
comments soon. I have received comment from 4J School District, which will be posted later today.
I'll be out two different single days in December for personal issues. I'll be away for Christmas and off the 22 a through
26t". That's it for me. I do not know other's schedules.
I will put into the record the emails from neighbors that talked directly about the project and their opinion about it.
There were only a few of those emails so far. I would encourage everyone with any concern to send emails that express
their concerns or issues with the project and whether they are supportive or opposed to the project. It is important to
have individuals as well as the Neighborhood Association weigh in with testimony. The emails where you and others
have asked questions or clarification on issues are not typical testimony. A number of those items discussed will be
assessed in the staff report. However, if there are any emails that for whatever reason you or others think should be
included, just forward those back to me with a note to please enter it into the record. You could also compile or collate
the pertinent information. I don't think questions about timelines and the process, or for example the three question
you have asked below, add anything to the discussion as far as the Hearings Official making a decision.
Thanks,
Nick

Subject: CHPUD - A Couple of Questions that Came Up in our Nov 16th Meeting
Hi again Nick. Here are a couple of questions that came up last night in our meeting
1) Do you have a specific deadline for your receipt of referral comments from other
departments? We are trying to coordinate our calendars for the January 10, 2018 hearing, especially
with the holiday season coming up. Thus far we have only seen the EWEB referral comments on the
project's planning website. We know that the Planning Department's staff report should be available
1
to the public at least due 7 days ahead of January 10th, which puts us at about Jan 3rd. How far
ahead of that Jan 3rd date do you anticipate receiving other department's referral comments and
posting them on the website??
2) Are you or any of the other important people we are dealing with on the city's staff scheduled to be
out of the office between now and the January 10th hearing date?
In a matter unrelated to "timing":
3) Can you expand a little more on your response to Brent yesterday about what correspondence
goes into "the record" and what does not? A few of our team members thought that ALL
correspondence goes into the record, but perhaps that is not the case. We just want to be aware so
that the Hearing Official has the benefit of access to all of the results of our research.
Thank you once again. Have a great weekend.
PS Speaking of vacations, guess we'll all need one once this is over!!

RE: Question for Nick of Stormwater
Hi Nick,
Please see my responses below.
1. EC 9.6791(3)(B)(2) Allows it. EC 9.6793 requires it. EC 9.6792(1) supports it. The City's current
NPDES MS4 permit supports it through establishing a green BMP hierarchy that is implemented though
EC 9.6792 requiring prioritization of on-site infiltration and the mimicking pre-development hydrology. It
is also consistent with state drainage law (civil law doctrine of drainage).
2. The 80% is not a goal. Capturing and treating the 80% of average annual rainfall is a requirement of
our current NPDES MS4 permit. This is implemented through EC 9.6792 and the stormwater
management manual. Flood Control (9.6791), Water Quality (9.6792) and Flow Control (9.6793) do not
supersede each other. They are all applicable to this application. However, one criteria or design
standard can be used to support another one. For example, a water quality facility can be built larger
enough to infiltrate the flood control design event therefore complying with the flood control design
criteria. The stormwater standards are designed to intentionally accompany and complement each
other and provide flexibility in solutions.
3. No, 9.6790 does not require anything. It authorizes the Stormwater Management Manual and the
implementation of it according to the criteria in 9.6791 through 9.6797. EC 9.6791, EC 9.6792 and EC
9.6793 apply to new and replaced impervious surfaces.

The Application Stormwater Plan and Drainage Study (SW Plan) states "The primary goal for stromwater management on Capital
Drive is to match existing drainage patterns and peak discharge rates through the design storm. (pg3). The SW Plan makes several
more references about matching pre-developed levels.
1. What code sections support this goal of matching post development drainage patterns and flow levels with pre development
drainage patterns and flow levels?
2. Does the goal of capturing and treating approximately 80% of the average annual rainfall (EC 9.6790) supercede the goal
statement of matching pre and post development flows?
3. Does EC 9.6790 apply to existing impervious and pervious surfaces that become incorporated into a new development, land
application or PUD? If EC 9.6790 does not apply then what code section would apply?

The site plan on this project has evolved. It is not uncommon for a supplemental technical report to have
figures from previous iterations. It strikes me as a question of what is current and less about technical
merits. I would ask the applicant to address this. They should update the figures and recommendations in the
geotech report if they do not reflect the current site plan. That way we all know what the current and proposed

I'm not sure what to do with these questions. Perhaps we say at this point the analysis of the Geotech report will be
addressed in the staff report. I'm guessing they have someone who can read a Geotech Like Gunnar coming up with
these questions, it just doesn't seem like something the average citizen would be looking at. Perhaps your referral

Subject: CHPUD Re-Routing of Cupola Drive due to Landslide Potential
Hi Nick. The Geotech Report prepared by Branch Engineering dated 2/6/17 (and the three page
letter update dated May 30, 2017) discuss landslide potential in the southeast area of the proposed
project. The site plan labeled Figure 1 in the report shows an original routing for the private drive
(Cupola Drive) as traversing the steep lots #15 through #20 (old site plan) and terminating at Capital
at the most southerly end of the PUD. Figure 2 in the report shows a revised site plan eliminating this
routing for Cupola and leaving a singular loop road connecting to Capital. This revised Cupola route is
to the north of the existing house and 3 unit apartment. The Figure 2 site plan also shows an
rectangular open space between Lots 18 & 19 where none existed on Figure 1. (Note that Figure 2 is
also somewhat dated and has incorrect lot numbers compared to the current site plan in the 8/22/17
application.) The 5/30/17 three page supplement to the Geotech Report indicates at the bottom of
page one "one location in the southeast portion of the site was mapped as the upper section of a
landslide area; subsequent site design omitted development in this area."
Was the site plan change "city driven"? Does your department and/or the city have any
documentation that you could provide to our committee regarding this change to the site plan??
Another member of our committee may have some more specific questions for you in this regard over
the coming days. Thanks as always for your assistance.
Sorry that this question is a little past the 9 Aft guideline. Took me awhile to "pen it."

Hi Nick. Here is the first email using our "new" procedure.
Request for more information on Carol Schirmer's professional status. We know she is a registered
landscape architect (according to her seal on the landscape plans), but is she an arborist certified by
the International Society of Arboriculture as required by Form F-213? If so, is all of her continuing
education up-to-date? The link below in Tom's email takes you to Form F-213. Thanks.
Please be sure to include all of those copied on this email (and me) in your response.

RE: A Couple of Quick Questions CHPUD
Susan,
Question 1: It appears to me based on using a scale that the proposed unimproved portion of Capital Drive is
approximately 125 feet long.
Question 2: That is actually our Code language and it refers to Supreme Court cases that affects municipalities when
they require a "taking' or "exaction" of property. In this case the requirement of an easement is a "taking" of the
applicant's property, so the City has to demonstrate and justify the need for the taking. Nollan and Dolan were two
famous Supreme Court cases that established the rules that municipalities need to follow. Just google "Nollan Dolan
findings and land use law". It's far too complicated for me to try and explain any further.
Thanks,
Nick

Subject: A Couple of Quick Questions CHPUD
Hi Nick. Again, sorry this is coming to you on a Sunday afternoon, but I won't be home tomorrow AM
so thought it would OK to send it now rather than wait until Tuesday AM.
I know we traded emails in early October about the gravel end of Capital Drive. I referenced that is
was to be 40 ft. long. Can't remember where I got that number, but looking at my site plan yesterday
it has to be over 100 ft. It goes the full length of the western edge of Lot 1 (which is 97.1 feet) and
about half way along the western edge of Lot 2. My estimation is that it will be about 118 ft. in
length. Can you please confirm that (or correct it) for me from the full size set of plans in your
office?? Thanks.

2nd Question. On page 51 of 67 of the 8/22/17 application, first paragraph addressing 9.8320 (10)
(h) in a discussion of 9.6500 Easements (1) end of third line down there is a reference to
"constitutional requirements." ®o you know what that reference means?? Thanks again.

CHPUD Re-Routing of Cupola Drive due to Landslide Potential
Hi Nick. The Geotech Report prepared by Branch Engineering dated 216/17 (and the three page
letter update dated May 30, 2017) discuss landslide potential in the southeast area of the proposed
project. The site plan labeled Figure 1 in the report shows an original routing for the private drive
(Cupola Drive) as traversing the steep lots x#15 through ##20 (old site plan) and terminating at Capital
at the most southerly end of the PUD. Figure 2 in the report shows a revised site plan eliminating this
routing for Cupola and leaving a singular loop road connecting to Capital. This revised Cupola route is
to the north of the existing house and 3 unit apartment. The Figure 2 site plan also shows an
rectangular open space between Lots 18 & 19 where none existed on Figure 1. (Note that Figure 2 is
also somewhat dated and has incorrect lot numbers compared to the current site plan in the 8/22/17
application.) The 5/30/17 three page supplement to the Geotech Report indicates at the bottom of
page one "one location in the southeast portion of the site was mapped as the upper section of a
landslide area; subsequent site design omitted development in this area."
Was the site plan change "city driven"? Does your department and/or the city have any
documentation that you could provide to our committee regarding this change to the site plan??
Another member of our committee may have some more specific questions for you in this regard over
the coming days. Thanks as always for your assistance.
Sorry that this question is a little past the 9 AM guideline. Took me awhile to "pen it."

hi susan
would you please forward the follow-up questions to nick?
hi nick
thank you so much for your help. it's much appreciated. we have some followup questions.
1. who all in public works is consulting on the issues surrounding emergency access? we would like
to have a conversation with someone in public works who has been part of the emergency access
conversation. would that be scott gillespie? as i mentioned to you on the phone, a conversation
allows for some give and take so both public works and we can understand at one time the issues
that concern us. sometimes email questions get lost or string out needlessly over a long time.
2. about emails, the assistant fire marshall told me a month or so ago that you told the fire department
not to talk to us and that all questions about chpud should go through you. i do understand how
important it is that you know what all the departments are telling us. then you told us that the fire
department told you they wanted questions only through email. that system has not worked. we sent
mark dahl a few questions weeks ago and have not heard back. it's starting to feel like we are
pestering city departments, rather than asking for an information exchange. we understand as you
pointed out, that you cannot order anyone to talk with us, but since you have told us you are the hub
now of all communications, do you have any suggestions about how to improve the situation? right
now, i don't understand how i can talk to different people without causing a problem. we are hoping
that routing all planning questions through susan is one step to help lessen the confusion of
information for everyone. would a short meeting with the most knowledgeable person in public works,
you, cw murchison, and me, and also the same thing for mark dahl be a solution? that puts a burden
on you but i don't see another option.
best,
saris

Answers to your questions:
Q1 - The Fire Department indicated there is a current issue with access along Capital Drive leading up to this
site. That is the essence of the discussion between the Fire Department and Public Works. Separately, as part
of the review for the Capital Hill PUD, Public Works will assess the potential traffic generated from the
proposed project.
Q2 - To my knowledge at this point in time Capital Drive is the only road being reviewed. The Fire Department
has indicated that the other route that accesses the site via Cresta De Ruta is not a route they would normally
take, unless Capital Drive was temporarily inaccessible for some reason.
Q3 - To my knowledge at this point in time, Public Works is reviewing the access issue raised in the 3-27-17
letter from the Fire Marshal's Office. No changes have been proposed at this time.
Q4 - Public Works will submit referral comments prior to the hearing that will provide details on the various
criteria used to assess the proposal. The criteria in Eugene Code 9.8320 will apply and this code section also
lists other sections of the code that will be used to assess the proposal.
Q5 - There are a number of Public Works team members assisting in review of this project. The point of
contact for all communications is through the Planning Department (me).

Good Afternoon,
I'm writing concerning a few questions that we, the CHPUD Response Team, have about the current and possible future
emergency access routes to the CHPUD site. If this message could be forwarded to Eric Favreau in Public Works, that
would be very much appreciated.
Nick, in your earlier emails with Faris, you indicated that the Fire Department and Public Works were discussing the safety
problems of the emergency access routes to the top of Capital Hill, as noted in Mark Dahl's 3/27/17 letter in response to
the CHPUD application_
Q1. Are the current discussions between the Fire Department and Public works only concerning current safety problems,
or are they also discussing how those safety problems would be exacerbated by additional traffic created by the addition
of over 30 homes at the top of Capital Hill? (Simply is there more to the discussions than just current safety issues that
have been identified in the 3-27-17 letter?)
Q2. What roads have been included in these discussions surrounding safety issues for emergency access to Capital Hill?
(The 3-27-17 letter discussed multiple routes, and roads, and safety issues with each of them. The entire route and
alternates from the fire station to the top of Capital Hill could present many safety issues.)
Q3. Are the discussions including possible changes to the current (or future) road access to address the safety issues
raised in the 3-27-17 letter? and if so, what changes?
Q4. What criteria are being used to determine if the emergency access routes to the top of capital hill are safe now and in
the future with any possible changes to improve or through increased traffic of 30+ houses?
Q5. Who in Public Works is working on this or involved in the discussions?

Kind of funny - the link in.the email is to our Tree Removal Permit, which is totally not applicable to the PUD application.
As an FYI, which I will also point out to the neigbors - EC 9.8310(2) allows the Director to waive the requirement for an

Subject: System to Monitor Inquiries to Nick Gioello about Capital Hill PUD
Hi Nick. The citizen's Response Committee for the Capital Hill PUD has established a method to
monitor our inquiries to you. We are hoping to assist you (and ourselves) so that you are only dealing
with one person at approximately the same time each day, rather than receiving emails throughout
the day from various folks. We are proposing that I send to you daily by around 9 AM any inquiries
about the project from our various Response Committee members. Hopefully, this will provide some
structure to our inquiries and facilitate your responses to pending issues.
1
Beginning tomorrow, November 6th, any new questions being directed toward you (or others
at the city such as Eric in Public Works) will bee ails to e by the inquiring Response
Committee ern era INQUIRIES SHOULD T T DIRECTLY T YOU.
I will get all new Response Committee inquiries to you every work day by 9 AM, and will "cc" the
committee member(s) making the inquiry so that they know their question is "at the city."
if you could direct your reply back to me (at anytime during the day) with a "cc" to the inquiring
Response Committee member(s) that would be very much appreciated. This way, your reply to the
committee member(s) will not be held up by me but I'll know that the inquiry has been handled. I'll
also see to it that anyone else on our committee that could use-the data in your reply is "in the loop."
We are currently putting together a list of outstanding questions/issues that remain pending your
response. When we finish that compilation (within a few days), we'll send it along to you for your
follow up. Hope this helps all of us over the next several busy weeks. If you have any
comments/questions please let me know at shortqamesue@vahoo.com or call at 541-654-
5,458. Thanks as always for your assistance.

Hi,
I was referred to you by Nick Gioello.
Does the City have asbuilt drawings, survey results or any other information that would show, or could be used to calculate, any or all
of the actual roadway width (curb face to curb face) for the following reaches:
1. Spring Blvd from intersection of Spring and Fairmount to Spring and Capital.
2. Capital Drive from intersection of Spring and Capital to Capital and Cresta da Ruta.
Pls feel free to call me if it will help.
Thank you,

RE: Question on stormwater plan for a Chpud
Brent, see below for response to #2 & 3 from Scott Gillespie:
The applicant is proposing flow control for all lots and roads within the subdivision and to maintain
existing drainage patterns. This means that post development flows will be equal to or less than pre-
development flows. Calculation of post development flow from lots is not necessary or relevant at the
subdivision stage since all lots will have to implement flow control at the time of building permit. This
means that post development flow rates will never exceed the pre-development flow rates regardless
of the amount of impervious area on each lot. The report calculates the pre-development flows (which
also equal or exceed post development flows) and that is used for design purposes to satisfy Flood
Control criteria in EC 9.6791.
Thanks,

Regarding question #1, it is not my role to agree with answers from the other staff or the applicant, my role is
to provide professional analysis as a Planner regarding compliance with the approval criteria, gathering input
from other professionals/experts/agencies (such as Public Works, Fire Department, EWEB, etc.) and making
recommendations to the Hearings Official. This project is still in the review stage, a full analysis will be
available as a staff report one week before the scheduled hearing date.

Nick,
1. Does the Planning Development Department, as the lead enforcement agency for this subject, agree with this answer?
2. The consultant answer refererences section 3.1.3, paragraph 2 for the civil engineers specific language, which states the bound
lots will discharge onto the new roadways.
2A. Please direct me to the portion of the stormwater analysis that accounts for the runoff/flow from these lots onto the new
roadway... Specifically:
the maps, diagrams, illustrations, assumed impervious surface areas, modelling and calculations that account for the
runoff?
2B - Does Table 2 (pg 6) included the future impervious and pervious areas of the bound lots? I ask this question
because the Basin Summary appears to omit some, or all, of the bound lots impervious and pervious areas.
Thx, Brent

Subject: Re: Question on stormwater plan for a Chpud
hi Nick,
1 How are the implied future restrictions (meeting flow control and water quality requirements for lots 21 thru 32)
memorialized and enforced by the City?
[ces] The stormwater requirements are memorialized in the final PUD documents. It is a documents that is signed and
notarized by both the city and the client. The document is then recorded with Lane County. Those documents (plans and
recorded conditions of approval) are then use as part of the building permit review.
2
The proposed stormwater solution for that individual lot will have to adhere to the conditions of approval and the approved
stormwater management plan for the PUD. It will also have to adhere to the stormwater requirements for individual lots.
Public works staff reviews and approves (or doesn't approve) solutions proposed during the building permit phase.
2 Can you direct me to the portion of the stormwater analysis that accounts for the runoff/flow from these lots?
[ces] dater is accounted for this run off. The lots will need to retain the runoff to exist pre-development flaws.
The storage container under the road is designed to handle a particular peak rate.
The lots in questions all flow to those roads and then to those containers.
The containers are only required to accommodate a 10 year storm.
Once a larger storm event happens the overflow is directed to either the level spreader whose destinations is the forest to
the east and then to the park property to the east.
Or to the ditch along the gravel road to the north in Hendricks Park.
All of this is designed so that the stormwater flowing down Capital Drive is no greater than it currently is.
Peak rates are designed to match existing.
You can also say there is less water is flowing along the road than before this designed solution.
See section 3.1.3, paragraph 2 for the civil engineers specific language.
3 Does said analysis of runoff from lots 21 - 32 apply EC 9.6793 (3) (b) as a minimum standard, since the application has
not demonstrated otherwise?
[ces] We are in a headwaters area by definition but we do not draining directly into a headwaters stream.
We are however; meeting flow control requirements therefore we meet this standard.
4. Does EC9.6794 apply since the CHPUD will result in over 100 or more offstreet parking spaces in the form of
driveways and designated parking?
[ces] No it doesn't apply. We potentially have 31 additional units as a result of the development. At 1 car per unit required
parking we are parking less than 100 cars. Parked cars are determined by unit count per the parking requirements in the
land use code. They are not determined by how large a driveway is and how many cars can fit on those driveways.

Subject: RE: Question on stormwater plan for a Chpud
Brent I got this from the applicant:
Those are the lots at the top of the hill between the two roadways. Lots 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28,
29, 30, 31, & 32. Those lots, upon meeting flow control and water quality requirements, will not be able
to release into their own level spreader because they are cut off from those open spaces and park areas
by the roadway improvements. Therefore they will have to release into the public and private roadways
(via weep hole or some other method). The existing runoff from those lots was accounted for in the
storm analysis.
Hope that answers your question,
Nick
