Attachment G The Services for New Development project category provides an opportunity to add capacity to serve new development at the time of development. In this scenario the City funds the improvement from the funds set aside under Services for New Development and then assesses the developer for the assessable portion of the improvement. The developer does not receive any SDC credit and pays the full SDC to the City. While the projects may not represent the priorities established in the CIP, the projects leverage private funds, implement the arterial and collector street improvements identified in Transplan and the Regional Transportation Plan, are less contentious than assessment projects, and are constructed in developing areas with less impact to the residents and businesses that eventually reside in the areas once developed. th 18. Bettman Page 191 has 8, High to Lincoln 2 way conversion. It states it will PW only go forward with Whole foods locating. It includes $200k road fund which is counter to transportation funding policy unless that is for M or P of the existing road bed. Either way this should be deleted from the plan. Do we need a motion to do so? The project description states – “This project is dependent on executing a development agreement with Whole Foods and $200,000 for vacation of alley right-of-way.” With the decision by Whole Foods not to execute a development agreement staff is recommending that this project be deleted from the draft CIP. 19. Bettman Page 205 Is this project outside the UGB? Why has the cost increased PW more than 200K? Is it legal to spend SDC money outside the city limits when the money is collected for capacity in the city, and Lane Co. has no SDC? This project is located entirely within the Urban Growth Boundary. The project is included in both the Regional Transportation Plan and Transplan. The use of transportation SDCs to fund a portion of this project is legal and consistent with past practices of funding improvements of arterial and collector streets to urban standards. The project cost has increased due to the rapidly increasing cost of construction in the metropolitan area. 20. Bettman Is this the first official categorization of Friendly, Crest, and Storey PW projects as “Capacity Enhancing” (page 220 – 222?) It seems to me staff have consistently referred to those projects as “upgrades” for safety. Enhancing capacity for the purpose of a transportation project means more lanes, additional ROW. Is this a change and what are the implications? The three projects, Crest Drive, Friendly Street, and Storey Boulevard are included in the “Placeholder Projects” section of the Transportation Chapter of the draft 2008 – 2013 Capital Improvement Program (CIP)under the subcategory “Upgrades and Capacity Enhancement”. This project subcategory was created with the 1998 – 2003 CIP when the “Upgrade to City Standards” subcategory was combined with the “Capacity Enhancement” subcategory. The three projects are best characterized as “Upgrades” as described in their project descriptions
