Randall ARBOR SOUTH ARCHITECTURE, PC 380 Lincoln Street Eugene, Oregon 97401 541-517-2223 OWNER/DEVELOPER Daniel M. Hill 380 Lincoln Street Eugene, Oregon 97401 541-913-0016 The proposed use of this development is to construct fourteen Cottage Units and one Community Building for the housing of special needs (Autistic/Down’s) young adults. A single family residence and garden buildings were previously removed. The parcel is zoned R-2, Medium Density Residential. Low Density Residential (R-1) is immediately north and Medium Density Residential (R-2) abuts at the south and west. The parcel fronts on 5th Street at the east. Across 5th Street is a mix of R-2 and R-3 (High Density Residential). The lot is approximately 0.52 acres with 14 dwelling units, for a density of 27 du per acre. Each Unit is 356 sq ft with a 960 sq ft Community Building. We would also request, at the meeting, a summary of SDC charges based on this layout, any additional fees associated with cottage clusters, and any credits or tax incentives available for this needed housing type. DIM QUESTIONS 1.In trying to determine the best nomenclature for the project, these units best ﬁt SRO (Single Room Occupancy), but fall short of the density requirements in SDC Table 3.2.215. The only other two options appear to be Cottage Cluster and Multiple Unit Housing. Upon our review, Cottage Cluster seems to be the best option. Per SDC 3.2.245, we assume this review is a Type I concurrent with building permit. In reviewing the deﬁnition of “dwelling unit” and the need for a “kitchen”, we believe the sink, dishwasher and microwave qualify for the three needed to be deﬁned as a “kitchen” since a dictionary deﬁnition of microwave also uses the term “oven” interchangeably. Question: do you agree with our assessment? 2.Because of the extreme unique shape and size of this parcel (73 feet wide and over 300 feet deep), we will be asking for relief of some of the Cottage Cluster standards under SDC 3.2.260. Some of those criteria are not as clear as we would prefer and want to verify that the following aspects are able to be modiﬁed under the Code: • The parking lot, while greatly reduced in size (residents will be clients that do not drive), must be located between the cottages and the street. The lot is simply too narrow otherwise. We assume this is adjustable under the Code. SDC 3.2.260(N)(1)(a)(ii) • We assume the 5ft cottage setback at the north prevails over the generalized 10ft setback at the north for R-2 abutting R-1. SDC 3.2.260 (F)(2) and SDC 3.2.250(B). • The Community Building is 960 sq ft. We assume the 900 sq ft limit of size does not apply because the Community Building is not a dwelling unit. A covenant can be recorded stating the structure is not a legal dwelling unit. SDC 3.2.260(K)(2) • We assume because there will be no cottages within 20ft of the street property line, the window requirements of SDC 3.2.260(M) do not apply. Question: are the above assumptions correct? 3.With the layout of the units, the driveway and parking as well as vehicular access, we are not proposing a ﬁre truck turn-around. We are assuming the units beyond the hose reach will need to be ﬁre-sprinkled, however. Question: Will the units’ (beyond the hose reach) ﬁre sprinkling be able to be 13R with a single tap, no riser room and not monitored? 4.We are showing several Treatment Pond planters for stormwater management. Question: Do you see any issues with our stormwater proposal at this stage? 5.Each individual Cottage is not ADA accessible and we assume they do not need to be. The Community Building, parking area and common courtyard will be ADA accessible. Question: are the above assumptions correct? If there are any other concerns that are obvious to you that we missed, we would appreciate knowing about those. Thank you!
