SUBJECT: ZON2009-00025 St Vincent de Paul of Lane County on Laura Street
The Transportation Division has reviewed the subject application for the possible
development of the property at 2080 Laura Street. The developer proposes to create a
mixed of uses on the site consisting ofa 3500-400 square feet Veteran's Service kd
Community Center with 50-60 affordable housing for veterans-both individuals and
families. Rental housing would be a mixture of 1,2 and;3-bedroom units with an'
emphasis on family units, most likely in townhouse configuration with shared parking
courts.
The following comments and questions arein response to the applicant's questions.
1. Planning will respond to this question.
2. Planning will respond to this question.
3. Is the continuation for Lochaven Ave. as a pulbic street (and thus a ROW!
dedication) required to develop the parcel?
Answer: The street is not presently on the Conc~ptuallocal stJ'eet
, 'L
plan. It is presently the Transportation StaWs view that Lochaven
"
being extended straight through would add undo added traffici'to your
development as well as add a conflict point to Laura at an undesirable
location. The alignment is not as safe as it would be if it made :i. full
intersection with the private road. that opposes this prop~rty el1,st of
Laura Street. Ideally, we would like to see no access to Laura Street,
but this is without seeing a TIA or an estimate on how many trips the
site expects to generate.
4. Are.there any existing or additional ROW dedications or easements required
along Laura Street or through the site?
Answer: No.
5. Engineering will respond to this question.
Questions for
c
f,VDf
· How many trips so you expect the site to generate? .
· Do you want to connect with Laura Street? if so, speed bumps and drive alignment
,
should greatly discourage through traffic.
