The Transportation Division has reviewed the materials provided with the subject application.
The recommended findings and conditions outlined below are provided for your use in preparing
the land-use decision.
General
Finding: The subject property is a lAO-acre LOR-zoned parcel located on the east side of S. 57th
Street and the western terminus ofS. 58th Street (Map 18-02-04-]], Tax Lot #5300). The parcel
currently holds one single-family residential unit. Approval of this proposal would partition the
property to create nine parcels; the existing residence would be removed.
Transportation System Impacts
Findin!!: Abutting the subject site to the west, S. 57th Street is a 36-foot wide asphalt mat
roadway within a 59.06-foot wide right of way. The street is improved with curb/gutter and
sidewalk. Average daily traffic on the street is estimated to be 6,500 vehicle trips per day. S.
57th Street is a Lane County Road.
Note: Public Works Engineering and Transportation staff need to discuss Lane County's
comments contained in Shashi Bajracharya's 5/25 email regarding jurisdictional transfer ofS.
57th Street and related T1A requirements,
Findin!!: Abutting the subject site to the east, S. 58th Street is a 36-foot wide asphalt mat roadway
within a 60-foot wide right of way. The street is improved with curb/gutter, sidewalk, and LPS
street lighting. Average daily traffic on the street is estimated to be less than 200 vehicle trips
per day.
Findin!!: Based on ITE Land Use Code 2]0 (Single-Family Detached Housing) full development
of the eight additional parcels with single-family residential use would generate 80 additional
vehicle trips per day and 8 PM peak-hour vehicle trip onto the surrounding street system. In
addition, assumed development may generate pedestrian and bicycle trips. According to the
"Household" survey done by LCOG in ] 994, ] 2.6 percent of household trips are made by
bicycle or walking and 1.8 percent are by transit bus. These trips may have their origins or
destinations at a variety of land uses, including this site. Pedestrian and bicycle trips create the
need for sidewalks, pedestrian crossing signals, crosswalks, bicycle parking and bicycle lanes.
