<br /> <br />Response: It has not been done to this extent before, however examples of CSS in Eugene <br />rdth <br />include River Avenue, 3/4 Connector, and to some extent Broadway. In many ways, CSS is <br />the latest buzzword for good planning practices. <br /> <br />Lisa also presented a visual diagram of the CDCT process. It is include on page 7. Following <br />discussion on CSS and the CDCT process, Mark Schoening presented exiting local and federal <br />design guidelines and standards. Handouts describing these standards and guidelines are included <br />on pages 8-10. He discussed the difference between standards and guidelines as: <br /> <br />? <br /> Standards <br />: The minimum considerations when designing a street. <br />? <br /> Guidelines <br />: Should consider, however they are not absolute. <br /> <br />Question: Can we revisit the question raised earlier- What are the resources being used for this <br />project? <br />Response: This is a prioritized project by the City Council. City Staff requested funding of <br />$240,000 for the entire CDCT process. That does not include road repairs. <br />Question: Will the CDCT see the budget request? <br />Response: Probably not the details because it was submitted over 6 months ago. <br />Question: Is there any flexibility in the budget? <br />Response: Yes, some. <br />Question: Will any of the $240,000 be assessed to the property owners? <br />Response: Money from the general fund will cover some of this cost; however some may be <br />assessed to property owners. <br /> <br />City Staff’s presentation and CDCT follow-up questions were stopped at 9:00pm, the end of the <br />scheduled meeting. Committee members were instructed to record any additional comments so <br />they could be recorded in the notes. These questions and comments follow: <br />? <br /> <br />How about input from outside professionals involved in Context Sensitive Design? <br />? <br /> <br />We would like a breakdown of the $240,000. Is there a management fee and others fees? <br />? <br /> <br />Is it true that if my driveway faces a sidewalk, we will not be assessed for a new <br />roadway? <br />? <br /> <br />What does a “collaborative interdisciplinary project development approach” mean? <br />? <br /> <br />If the slope of a street is too severe to be safe for a person in a wheelchair, are the same <br />standards stuck to anyway? <br />? <br /> <br />Add CDCA to the stakeholder list on the visual diagram of the CDCT process. <br />Page 22 of 27 <br />
