Attachment C - Application Materials In response to these comments from Lane County, Eugene planning staff responds that the city does not yet have a development proposal that can be used as the basis of a traffic impact analysis. The appropriate level of development, mitigation measures, and needed transportation improvements will be determined through the development review process. Other needed actions —such as the Metro Plan amendment, refinement plan amendment, and conditional use permit —will require a traffic impact analysis. It makes sense that the traffic impact analysis is integrated into the development review decision process. Eugene public works staff indicates that N Delta Highway, located south of Ayres Road, is classified as a major collector street within the City of Eugene. It is jurisdictionally the responsibility of Eugene and is maintained by the city. It is not designated on the city's adopted Street Right of Way Map; however, the existing right -of -way width appears to range from 80 feet to 120 feet, exceeding the maximum width of 75 feet prescribed by Eugene Code. North of Ayres Road, N Delta Highway is classified as an unimproved local street and includes a westerly roadside ditch. Street improvements and/or right -of -way dedications may be required when new development occurs. If the section of N Delta Highway north of Ayres Road is annexed to Eugene, the jurisdictional responsibility for this local street will transfer automatically to the city and it will be maintained by the city. Ayres Road, east of N Delta Highway, is inside the city limits and is classified as a major collector street under the city's jurisdiction. This right -of -way was recently improved and meets the prescribed width of 75 feet for collector streets. The portion of Ayres Road (County Road No. 302), west of N Delta Highway, is an unimproved local street that bisects tax lot 306. If annexed to the city, the jurisdictional responsibility of this section of Ayres Road will transfer automatically to the City of Eugene. It will remain unimproved and not maintained by the city until development plans are submitted and it is determined that road improvements, including the dedication of additional right -of -way, is needed. The urban growth boundary is coterminous with the outside edge (southerly edge) of this segment of Ayres Road. A private road easement exists in the general location of this segment of Ayres Road, which provides access to the portions of tax lot 306 to the north and south and to other properties located at the westerly terminus of the county road. The private easement is located in the vicinity of the county road and tax lot 306 and is included in the annexation area. Access to the properties served by this private road easement will not be impacted by this annexation. Eugene public works staff requests and supports the inclusion of the northerly 20 feet of Ayres Road right -of -way, east of its intersection with N Delta Road about 600 feet, be included in the annexation area (approximately 0.33 acres). The remainder of Ayres Road east of N Delta Road is already in the city. Public works staff also requests and supports the inclusion of the westerly 10 feet of N Delta Road, south of Ayres Road approximately 260 feet, in the annexation area (approximately 0.06 acres). The remainder of N Delta Road at this intersection is already in the city. The urban growth boundary is coterminous with the outside edge of N Delta Road and it is appropriate for the entire right -of -way to be in the city. Inclusion of N Delta Highway and Ayres Road will assist in fulfilling the growth management policies of the Metro Plan of annexing out the urban growth boundary and are an appropriate and logical segment of the existing urban transportation system serving this area to be in the city.
