Comments from L~ne County !ransportation Planning (TP) The subject property is located insjde the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) of the Springfield City Limits. The property abuts on cul-de-sac section of 20th S1. While 20th St cul-de-sac is functionally classified as a Local Access Road, the road 'connecting to it, Le., 20th St is functionally classified as an Urban Local Road in the Lane County Transportation System Plan. The cul-de-sac is unimproved but 20th St is 32 foot wide, paved road with curbs on both sides. 20th St is also provided with stormwater facilities. The subject property is proposed for partition into 2 parcels. Both lots take access from the cul-de- sac. The new lot has about 33 ft frontage on the cul-de~sac. As defined in LC 15.010(35)(e)(vii), a public road is not maintained by the County but County may regulate its use. Since land use deCision making of incorporated and unincorporated lands within the UGB lies with the respective Metro cities, it would be more effective that the City regulate public roads within its jurisdiction. In this particular situation of mixed road status, the County recommends that the City annex the public road along with the property into the City Limits and apply City's road standards. It is reasonable that the City require the applicant to improve the cul-de-sac to provide pedestrian and vehicular connectivity between the unimproved cul-de-sac and the improved 20th S1. The improvement standards should match with the existing improvements on 20th S1.
