I th '
Street and the western terminus of S. 58 Street (Map 18-02-.04-11, Tax Lot #5300), The parcel

Transportation System Impacts
Findine:: 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. . '
Findine:: Abutting the subject site to the east, S. 58th Street is a 36-foot wide ~sphalt 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. .
Findi[;g: Based on ITE Land Use Code 210 (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 1994, 12.6 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 ofland uses, including this site. Pedestrian and bicycle trips create the
need for sidewalks, pedestrian crossing signals, crosswalks, bicycle parking and bicycle lanes.
Findil1l!: The applicant proposes to dedicate 31 feet of right of way and construct a public street
,j (Jon's Lane) extending from S, 58th Street on the east to S. 57th Street on the west. The applicant
proposes a stated agreement from the property owner to the south (TL # I 00) to dedicate a
portion of right of way necessary to complete connection of the partial width hiadway to S. 58th
