ODOT effectiveness and cost-effectiveness criteria in two locations and are recommended as mitigation (see supplemental information, Figures 7-9). The final wall locations will be determined after public input is completed as part of the NEP A process. Additionally, as stated on page 13 of the written statement, the applicant proposes the following general measures: · Continue public involvement through design and construction . limit work hours . limit noise Comments were received from the affected neighborhood association, the Harlow Neighborhood Association, regarding the noise level in the residential area to the east of the bridge (the area of the Willakenzie Area Plan) and that the Environmental Assessment does not fully address this issue specifically about the noise level and the possibility of mitigation by the use of sound walls. As discussed above, the applicant has identified potential sound wall locations, although it is notable that according to Figures 7 and 8, no sound walls are identified in the formal Willakenzie Area Plan or in the Harlow Neighborhood Association area (the closest is proposed on the east side of 1-5). The sound walls, although not technically in the W AP at this time, in addition to the measures outlined above demonstrate consistency with this policy. Therefore, in the context of a plan amendment, these policies are satisfied with the findings above. Furthermore, the specific details of the development regarding sound walls and other noise mitigation measures will be more aptly addressed during the NEP A Environmental Assessment process and in the context of a more specific site plan required as part of a subsequent permit process, rather than at the plan amendment level. Based on the information provided, and as reviewed in detail for compliance with federal noise requirements under other federal processes, the proposal is consistent with these policies. Neighborhood Design Element Willamette Greenway Use Management Standard 1. Provision that all new structures, expansion of existing structures, drives, parking areas, or storage areas shall not be permitted within the first 35 feet backfrom the top of the riverbank, unless the location of the floodway boundary requires a greater separation. There are [three) four exceptions to this standard: A. Structures designed solely for recreational use (i.g., a deck or steps leading to the river) and driveways for boat landings and water-related or water-dependent uses are permitted within the 35-foot setback. B. Public improvements, including pedestrian and bicycle trails, public plazas, and similar amenities, but excluding roads and parking areas, are exempt from the setback requirements specified above. C. Structures existing as of the date of adoption of this plan shall be allowed to rebuilt at the same distance from the river that they were before destruction by fire, flood, or other disaster.
