(m) Replacement of docks and other facilities without significantly increasing the capacity of those facilities; (n) Expansions or alterations of public use airports that do not permit service to a larger class of airplanes; and (0) Transportation facilities, services and improvements other than those listed in this rule that serve local travel needs. The travel capacity and level of serv- ice of facilities and improvements serving local travel needs shall be limited to that necessary to support rural land uses identified in the acknowledged comprehensive plan or to provide adequate emergency access. Certain projects set out in the revised TransPlan project list and described below extend onto rural land, or constitute an expansion of a road that is coterminous with the UGB and may encroach upon rural lands. While projects within the UGB that serve as the boundary to the UGB may not need to be independently evaluated under this rule, all of these projects comply with the provisions of this rule. Project 454, the expansion of Greenhill Road, project 533, the improvements to a small portion of Irvington Drive, project 625, the improvements to Coburg Road, projects 654 and 606, the portion dealing with improvements to Game Farm Road between 1-5 and Crescent Avenue, project 98, the improvements to Thurston Road, and project 66, the improvements to Jasper Road all constitute transportation improvements allowed by ORS 215.213 and OAR 660-012- .0065(3)(b). The functional classifications of these roads refer to the size, capacity and design of the road, not to its location in an urban or rural setting. Other roadway improvement projects extend beyond the UGB to some degree and are permitted by OAR 660-0 12-0065(3)(b), (d) or (g). Project 66 (Jasper Road Extension) is a new road within the Springfield UGB that requires a short realignment of Jasper Road outside the UGB. Project 297 (Bloomberg Connector) is a realignment of a portion of McVay Highway north of the 30th Avenue interchange. Project 485 (Greenhill Road, Barger Drive to Airport Road) upgrades a substandard portion of Greenhill Road to meet the requirements of OAR 660-012-0020(2)(b):-"Project 486 (Greenhill Road, north of air- port boundary to Airport Road) is a realignment of another segment of Greenhill Road necessitated by safety improvements to the Eugene Airport. Project 554 (Wilkes Drive) improves a short segment of Wilkes Drive east of the UGB. Project 625 (Coburg Road) upgrades the segment of Coburg Road leading to Armitage State Park from the south to meet the requirements of OAR 660-012-0020(2)(b). Most of these projects are permitted by OAR 660-012-0065(3)(b). Project 486, the realignment of Greenhill Road near the Eugene Airport, project 297, the realignment of the McVay Highway, and project 66, the realignment of a portion of Jasper Road to form a new intersection with Jasper Road Ex- tension, meet the definition of "realignment" specified by OAR 660-012-0065(2)(f), and are therefore allowed by OAR 660-0 12-0065(3)(d). In each of these instances, the proposed work is not only permitted by the Transportation Planning Rule; it is consistent with the intent of the rule to upgrade roads to agency stan- dards. In addition, nearly all of the projects in table 1 a of chapter 3 have been previously Exhibit C Findings in Support of the Adoption of TransPlan 41
