<br /> 'j <br /> Collector streets in the area are Orchard Street and Walnut Street to the east <br /> and East 19th Avenue to the south. The other streets are unclassified and are <br /> therefore considered local streets. East 15th Avenue from Agate Street east . <br /> toward Franklin Boulevard east of Walnut Street is the major designated'bike <br /> route for the area. Attached is an existing arterial street and bike route <br /> map. Street widths in the area vary from 66 feet for East 15th Avenue, lOO <br /> feet for Villard Street, and 120 feet for Franklin Boulevard. All are paved <br /> with curbs and gutters. The alley one-half block east of Moss Street is 20 <br /> feet wide and is paved from Franklin Boulevard south approximately 400 feet, <br /> the area adjacent to the applicant's property. The remainder is a <br /> good-condition gravel surface. <br /> Staff has toured Moss Street a number of times since the subject request was <br /> initially submitted and finds its use is primarily oriented toward the <br /> Williams Bakery facility. Some trucks are being parked temporarily on Moss <br /> Street adjacent to the ba~ery. <br /> The Traffic Division of the Public Works Department has reviewed the subject <br /> request with specific consideration being traffic movement at the intersection <br /> of Moss Street, Franklin Boulevard and East 13th Avenue, the north-south alley <br /> one-half block east or Moss Street, and the proposed turnaround/cul-de-sac <br /> terminating Moss Street north of East l5th Avenue. Their findings are based <br /> on current traffic counts and those counts done at the time the <br /> Fairmount/University Special Area Study was in progress, and street <br /> configurations in the area. They conclude that the proposed vacation does not <br /> appear to conflict with applicable transportation plans' and will result in <br /> little disruption in safe traffic movements. . . <br /> Moss Street from the subject request south to East 13th Avenue will terminate e <br /> in a cul-de-sac at the southerly boundary of the requested vacation. A <br /> standard, paved turnaround will occur, ending in a cul-de-sac-type street less <br /> than 400 feet long. The bulb portion of the cul-de-sac/turnaround will be <br /> constructed with curb cuts providing pedestrian and bicycle access along the <br /> southerly boundary of the Williams Bakery development. Necessary sidewalk <br /> easements will be granted by the University, providing continuity to the <br /> existing sidewalks on the southerly portion of Moss Street north of 15th <br /> Avenue. <br /> The Metropolitan Area General Plan makes no specific reference to Moss Street <br /> between 13th Avenue and 15th Avenue. However, the subject request is within <br /> the boundaries of the Fairmount/University Special Area Study adopted by <br /> resolution in September 1982. The following are findings and policies <br /> regarding specific sections of the study. Again, no specific reference is <br /> made to Moss Street; however, the following information will provide <br /> background for this review. <br /> The highest volumes of traffic concentration are on Franklin Boulevard, Agate <br /> Street, 18th Avenue, and 19th Avenue, descending in that order. Policies <br /> regarding traffic circulation encourage and reinforce the idea of a hierarchy <br /> of streets in the area. This includes good traffic management for the use of <br /> designated arterials for high-traffic volume to local streets for the use by <br /> abutting property owners. East 15th Avenue is the major bike route in the <br /> e <br /> STAFF NOTES--Planning Commission/City eouncil October 28, 1985 Page 4 <br />
