2. It ~pears appropriate that public and private access should be limited to the extensions of Cubit Street and Cleary Street on to Barger Avenue. Future development design of the special study area can use these two public rights-af-way without jeopardizing site design considerations. The only exception would be the small tax lots, 3500 and 3501, located at the extreme southeast corner of the development node. Barger Avenue is a minor arterial right-of-way providing a through- traffic carrier between Highway 99 North and development to the west. 3. Development of the special study area should use the two public streets recommended for extension through the subject area from the north. Restricting private driveway or street access directly onto Barger Avenue will minimize additional controls for Barger Avenue. 4. In an effort to minimize through traffic and reduce adverse speed conditions on these future rights-of-way, both Cubit Street and Cleary Street should be located so as not to provide a straight/direct route from their present terminus south to Barger Avenue. An .indirect street network would provide adequate and appropriate access for residential development. The purpose of such a street is to avoid adverse affects on existing and future residential living environment. 5. The Eugene Parks Department should continue its efforts to to acquire additional park land for the park site north of Barger Drive between Beltline Road and Highway 99 North. In keeping with the existing Bethel-Oanebo Refinement Plan, and in light of future medium- and high-density residential development, such public open space will be needed to accommodate future popula- tions in the immediate area. The nearest public open space is associ- ated with Wil1amette High School and the City-owned Echo Hollow swimming pool, both fronting Echo Hollow Road south of Barger Avenue. Presently, these facilities and future plans do not provide for the open space needs associated with the compact residential development scheduled north of Barger Avenue. It should also be noted that the Wil1amette High School/Echo Hollow Pool complex is south of Barger Avenue, a minor arterial which can be difficult to cross. 6. Since a portion of the site, approximately five acres, has been allocated for commercial uses, the five acres could be split into two areas; one on the immediate corner of Beltline Road and Barger Avenue and the other at the very extreme southeast corner of the develop~ent node, l~cated at Barger Avenue and Highway 99 North. These commercial areas would provide buffering between the major arterials bounding the site and residential development within the site. -9- 1-31
