requirement, the applicant has proposed to construct an additional Hunsaker Lane westbound approach lane and to construct an additional Green Lane westbound approach lane, As shown on Table 8 of the TIA (page 33), at the time of development (build year 2(08) the River Road at Hunsaker/Irving intersection is projected to further degrade to perform at ,98 vie, As a result of the proposed mitigation, the vie would remain at ,98 at the time of development (2008) therefore the proposed amendments would avoid further degradation of the facility, as required by subsection (3)(c). The TIA indicates that a tratlic signal \vas considered at the Green Lane intersection, but that due to the proximity to adjacent signalized intersections, it was determined that a signal at Green Lane would likely degrade the capacity of River Road north-south movements, However, the TIA demonstrates that the proposed mitigation is sutJicient to avoid further degradation, consistent with OAR 660-012-0060(3)(c). In order to ensure that the development resulting from the proposed amendments will not cause further degradation of the intersection, any future development of the site will be conditioned on the construction of these two approach lanes. OAR 660-012-0060(3)(d) The amendment does not involve property located in an interchange area as defined in paragraph (4)(d)(C),' and Consistent with this subsection. the amendment does not involve property located in an interchange area, as defined in OAR 660-012-0060(4)(d)(C). OAR 660-012-0060(3)(e) For affected state highways, ODOT provides a written statement that the proposedfunding and timingfor the identified mitigation improvements or measu.res are, at a minimum, sufficient to avoidjurther degradation to theperformance of the affected state highway. Hm.vever, if a local government provides the appropriate ODOT regional office with lvritten notice of a proposed amendment in a manner that provides ODOT reasonable opportunity to submit a written statement into the record of the local government proceeding, and GDOT does not provide a written statement, then the local government may proceed with applying subsections (a) through (d) of this section. Consistent with this subsection, as indicated in the TIA, the amendment does not atTect a state highway. ODOT indicated no concerns with this revised TIA. dated August 28, 2007. Conclusion Based on the available evidence, the proposal complies with Statewide Plmming Goal 12 as implemented through OAR 660-012-0060, with the imposition of the following conditions of approval to ensure that the necessary transportation improvements are in place prior to operation of the commercial and residential uses: The applicant shall record in the Office of the Lane County Clerk restrictive covenants on the real property that is the subject of the proposed amendments, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, stipulating that any future development approval for the site shall require, by the time of development, full and complete construction of an additional westbound approach lane on Hunsaker Lane and an additional westbound approach lane on Green Lane. The restrictive covenants shall be binding 011 any successive owner( s) of the property, are enforceable by the City of Eugene any may be amended only with the express written Staff Findings -- October 8,2007 Page 12
