Proposal: Create a 30-lot residential subdivision
Comments from Lane County Transportation Planning
The subject property is inside the City limits of the City of Springfield The property is proposed for
development Into a 30-lot subdivision The subdivision abuts 19th Street. 19th Street at thiS location
IS a Public Road not maintained by Lane County, also known as a Local Access Road. The
subdivision plans to connect 19th Street and Hayden Bridge Road With an extension of Hayden
Bridge Rd. The unconstructed section of Hayden Bridge Road is Inside the Urban Growth boundary
but not annexed Into the City limits. The constructed section of Hayden Bridge Road is a County
road, functionally classified as an Urban Local Road In the Lane County Transportation System Plan.
It IS a 36 foot wide curbed road at the westerly end which narrows t<;> a half road width 15 feet wide.
The Assessors map shows a right-of-way width of 70 feet for the road. The unconstructed section
also has a right-of-way of 70 feet
LC 15,225 Unopened Established County Right-of-Way ,
Rights-of-way legally established for County road purposes over which roads have not been
constructed shall not be opened for purposes of private access or land development at public
expense. Construction of roads in these circumstances shall be as specified by faCIlity permit and
through the land development process, If applicable, at the expense of the applicant.
Lane County will not open nor maintain the Hayden Bridge Road right-of-way unless It IS constructed
at private expense (under an approved Lane County Facility Permit) to urban standards for Local
Streets in LC 15.704, including a paved roadway, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks
There are one foot reserve stripS at each end of this section that have not been released to provide
legal access to adjacent properties.
Local Access Roads
North 19th Street is a public road, also called a Local Access Road (LAR) , that runs along the east
margin of the subject property. The applicant proposes to dedicate and improve west half road width
fronting the property. Transportation Planning recommends the annexation of 19th Street in ItS
entirety in order to facilitate an orderly transition to urbanization of the area. Because of its status as
an LAR, It would automatically become a City street and the City of Springfield would have full

In the absence of annexation of the entire width of North 19th St, County Transportation Planning will
request that the road be vacated as the County can not enforce County Codes on LAR roads inside a
UGB
