<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Public Works <br />Engineering <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />City of Eugene <br />M <br />858 Pearl Street <br />EMORANDUM <br />Eugene, Oregon <br />97401 <br />(541) 682-5291 <br />(541) 682-5032 FAX <br /> <br /> <br /> Date: <br />January 24, 2006 <br /> <br /> To: <br />Mayor Piercy and City Council <br /> <br />From: <br />Mark Schoening, 682-5243 <br /> City Engineer, Public Works Engineering <br /> <br /> <br />Subject: COUNCIL ASSIGNMENT: REGULATION OF GATED COMMUNITIES TO <br />BETTER PROTECT THE PUBLIC’S INTERESTS <br /> <br /> <br />This memo is in response to the Council Assignment – “Provide information on how the City might <br />regulate gated communities to better protect the public’s interests.” The underlying issue is the burden <br />placed on private property owners who are served by private streets and are responsible for the long <br />term maintenance of private streets whether or not the private street is within a gated community. <br /> <br />There are approximately 34 miles of private streets within the City of Eugene. A relatively small number <br />of these private streets are located within gated communities. Private streets are typically separate tax <br />lots owned jointly by the property owners served by the street. The City does not maintain the street <br />surface, storm drainage system or street trees. The City has accepted jurisdiction of private streets that <br />have been upgraded to City standards with a new 20-year pavement structure and dedication of right of <br />way. This has been accomplished through the Privately Engineered Public Improvement (PEPI) process. <br /> This could also be accomplished through a local improvement district initiated by a petition poll of <br />adjacent or benefiting properties. <br /> <br />With the adoption of the Land Use Code Update (LUCU), the restrictions and requirements for creating <br />new private streets has increased. Private streets are only allowed where there is not a public need in <br />establishing street connectivity. In addition, private streets must be built to City standards. <br /> <br /> <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
