This recommendation is based on the existing adverse situation created by the private egress and ingress curb cut} for Echo Hollow Plaza development 1 ocated south of Barger Drive and west on Echo Hallow Road . Terminating a1 ong the northerly boundary of the development node are four streets, Cubit Street, Wagner Street, Mangan Street, and North Clarey Street. It i s assumed that these streets will extend into the development node site. Cubit street is likely to extend south to the present intersection of Barger Drive and Echo Hollow Road and North Clarey Street i s 1 i kely to extend south through the area creating an intersection with Barger Drive at Taney Street. The location/type of intersection can best be resolved based on knowledge of future development of the development node, Twa other streets, Mangan and Wagner, wi 11 1 i kely connect into Cubi t Street and North Clarey Street before intersecting with Barger Drive. 2. It appears appropriate that public and private access for the development node should be limited to the extensions of Cubit Street and North Clarey Street. Future development design of the area can use these two public rights -of -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 Wade, Barger Drive is a minor arterial right-of-way providing athrough-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 ar street access directly onto Barger Drive will minimize additional controls for Barger Drive. 4. In an effort to minimize through traffic and reduce adverse speed conditions on these two future rights-of -way, both Cubit Street and North Clarey Street should be located so as not to provi de a strai ght/direct route from their present terminus south to Barger Drive. an indirect street network would provide adequate and appropriate access for residential development. The purpose of such a street i s to avoid adverse effects on existing and future residential living environment. 5 ; The City of ,Eugene should continue efforts to deve1 op the existing f ~ ve-acre park s~ to north of the sub3ect area, west of Mangan Street, and south of Wagner Street. In keeping with the existing Bethel -Danebo Refinement Plan, and i n 1 i ght of future medium- and high-density residential development, such public open ,space will be needed to accommodate future population in the ~ mmed~ ate area. The nearest public open space i s associated with Willamette High School and the City-owned Echo Hollow swimming pool, bath fronting Echo Hollow Road south of Barger Drive. Presently, these fac~l~t~es and future plans do not provide for the open space needs associated with the compact residential development scheduled north of Barger Drive. It should also be noted that the Willamette High School/Echo Hollow Pool camel ex i s south of Barger Dri ve, a mi nor arteri a1 which can be difficult to cross.
