City of Lake Oswego Streets and Sidewalks Code [LOC Chapter ]: LOC.0.0 LOC.0.00-.0.0 C. Prior Approvals AN 0-00 FINDINGS AND REASONS Vision Clearance at Intersections Streets and Sidewalks The City Council incorporates the Findings, Conclusions & Order of the Development Review Commission for LU1-000, as well as the staff report dated April, 0, the May and May, 0 Staff Memos, and the June, 0 Council Report, each with all exhibits, as support for its decision, supplemented by the following further findings and conclusions of the City Council. In the event of any inconsistency between the Council s supplemental findings Page FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & ORDER (LU 1-000) PO BOX / 0 A AVENUE LAKE OSWEGO, OREGON 0
1 1 1 1 1 0 1 and the incorporated matters, the Council s supplemental findings control. Following are the supplemental findings and conclusions of this Council: Tax Lot at 1 Atherton Drive was originally part of a larger parcel that also included what is now Tax lot 0 to the west. Tax Lot was created through a conveyance by deed from the owner of the larger parcel without applying for or receiving a minor development permit from the city for the partition as required by LOC 0.0.00..a.ii.(). A lot that was not lawfully established in compliance with the Code is an illegal lot (LOC 0.01.00.1.a.ii). The Code prohibits issuing a permit for the development of an illegal lot unless it is made legal under the applicable requirements for lot creation in effect at the time of an application, whether or not the applicant was responsible for creating the illegal lot (LOC 0.01.00..a). The applicant seeks to now legalize Tax Lot for development purposes by obtaining a minor development permit for a one-parcel partition. The Development Review Commission approved the partition permit with conditions that include a requirement to dedicate right-of-way for the future extension of Siena Drive (which currently stubs off at the north boundary of Tax Lot ) through the site to the southern boundary of the parcel, together with related easements for slopes, storm drainage and public utilities. The Commission also required a waiver of remonstrance agreement for any future Local Improvement District for street frontage improvements. Another condition requires the applicant to construct a public sanitary sewer main extension though the site from the north to the south boundaries. The applicant and the Bella Terra Homeowners Association filed appeals from the Development Review Commission s decision, each objecting to the required extension of the Siena Drive right-of-way through the site. The applicant also objects to the sanitary sewer extension requirement. (Exhibits A- and A-.) Because existing Siena Drive has been stubbed to the northern boundary of Tax Lot Page FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & ORDER (LU 1-000) PO BOX / 0 A AVENUE LAKE OSWEGO, OREGON 0
1 1 1 1 1 0 1, the Local Street Connectivity Standards of the Community Development Code apply to the proposed partition (LOC 0.0.00.a.ii.()). In the case of a partition that does not require construction of a street, LOC 0.0.00..d.i requires a future connectivity plan showing how the location of future streets will allow full development of the subject parcel and abutting parcels in order to meet the standards of LOC 0.0.00..c.ii through viii. The Council agrees with the findings in the April, 0 Staff Report that the required dedication of public rightof-way is the equivalent of a future connectivity plan because the dedication specifies the location of future streets. The right-of-way dedication also complies with LOC 0.0.00..d.ii. by necessarily requiring structures to be placed in a manner that allows for the future street and related setbacks. The approved site plan also shows that structures will be sited to meet the zone setbacks. Among the applicable standards that must be met by the future connectivity plan (in this case the dedication), LOC 0.0.00..c.ii mandates that street design must provide for full street connections between through streets with spacing of no more than 0 ft. measured between the center of the intersection of two through streets that provide for vehicle traffic movements in generally the same direction ( through street pairs ) with the cross street. The requirements of this subsection apply to all through street pairs that surround the site. As described in detail in the incorporated materials, because of the configuration and location of the existing streets on surrounding properties, these connectivity standards require showing a plan for a future north/south street through the subject site. Subsection c.iii requires that streets be designed to connect to all existing stub streets that that abut the development site (i.e. the stubbed Siena Drive to the north). Subsection c.iv prohibits cul-de-sacs and permanent closed-end streets except where the street spacing requirements are otherwise met. In opposing the street dedication, neither appellant has raised an issue relating to the applicability or analysis of the Code provisions discussed above, or at least not with sufficient Page FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & ORDER (LU 1-000) PO BOX / 0 A AVENUE LAKE OSWEGO, OREGON 0
1 1 1 1 1 0 1 specificity to allow the Development Review Commission and the parties to respond to the issue. Instead, other reasons for opposition have been asserted. Both the applicant and the Bella Terra Homeowners Association (HOA) cite safety issues as a reason for opposing the street dedication. Although difficult to find in the record, the Development Review Commission concluded in its findings that the HOA and Bella Terra residents cited the exception to street connectivity standards in LOC 0.0.00..c.vi() as support for the safety argument. In any event, no other Code provision was raised relating to that issue with sufficient specificity to allow the Commission and the parties to respond. LOC 0.0.00..c.vi() allows an exception to the connectivity standards where the modification is the minimum to address the constraint and the application of the standards is impractical due to the following: * * * [w]here requiring a particular location of a road would result in * * * a traffic safety issue that cannot be resolved. The Commission found that, because dedication of right-of-way is not the construction of a street the traffic safety exception in 0.0.00..c.vi() does not apply. However, the City Council notes that, while 0.0.00..c. by its terms applies to development that requires construction of a street, 0.0.00..d.(i) provides that, for development not requiring street construction, a future connectivity plan (or in this case the right-of-way dedication) must meet the standards of 0.0.00..c.vi()c. ii through viii. The Council finds, therefore, that the traffic safety exception in subsection c.vi.() is available in the case of future connectivity plans and, in this case, the equivalent right-of-way dedication. Evidence in the record relating to this issue consists solely of concerns about reduced safety (especially of children) that could result from through (or cut-through ) traffic between Atherton Drive and the area to the north of the Bella Terra subdivision. Some opponents highlighted the proximity of Lakeridge High School to the north, and expressed concern about inexperienced drivers, or vehicles exceeding the speed limit. The differences in speed and volume of through traffic, as opposed to traffic on dead- Page FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & ORDER (LU 1-000) PO BOX / 0 A AVENUE LAKE OSWEGO, OREGON 0
1 1 1 1 1 0 1 end streets or cul-de-sacs, that are assumed to inevitably result when connectivity is established, or that apply to all through streets cannot, without more, be the basis for an exception to the connectivity standard. The safety exception, in its context as an exception to connectivity requirements, requires a showing of additional, and more specific, traffic safety issues. The Council also finds that general observations about the habits or abilities of young drivers (whose driving is not limited to areas proximate to high schools) cannot, without more, warrant an exception to connectivity requirements. The testimony in the record did not establish traffic safety issues specific to the location of the proposed right-of-way beyond these general concerns. Furthermore, even if the general concerns could warrant an exception, the testimony did not establish that the concerns cannot be resolved through traffic-calming techniques, street design, traffic enforcement, or other measures, or that forgoing the otherwise-required connectivity would be the minimum [measure] to address the constraint. While the City Council understands and respects the Bella Terra residents preference for nonthrough streets, the Council nevertheless finds that the evidence in the record does not support an exception to the connectivity standards under LOC 0.0.00..c.vi(). LOC 0.0.00..c.vi() provides that an exception to the connectivity review standards may be allowed if the modification is the minimum necessary to address the constraint and the application of the standards is impracticable due to the following: * * * () The presence of Sensitive Lands as described in LOC 0.0.0 or LOC 0.0.0 * * * where regulations discourage construction of or prescribe different standards for street facilities, unless the nearest through street pairs * * * are more than one-quarter mile apart. The review authority may determine that connectivity is not required under this circumstance, if a benefit/cost analysis shows that the traffic impacts from development are low and do not provide reasonable justification for the estimated costs of a full street connection. In its appeal statement, the HOA cites this Code subsection and asserts that the proposed street is not practical from a cost/benefit perspective, due to its high costs, the Page FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & ORDER (LU 1-000) PO BOX / 0 A AVENUE LAKE OSWEGO, OREGON 0
1 1 1 1 sloped topography and the presence of sensitive lands. In the June, 0 Council Report, city staff questions whether this issue was raised before the Development Review Commission with sufficient specificity to enable the Commission and the parties to respond. Staff points out that the HOA did not inform the Commission of the exception criterion it now asserts on appeal to the Council. The minutes of the Commission proceedings do not reflect the Code exception being raised. Further, the Commission did not address that criterion in its findings. At the City Council appeal hearing, the HOA introduced excerpts of comments made during the Commission proceedings, including questions raised about how road construction would be financed, questions by Commissioners as to whether the road will ever be built, or whether it is practical, or whether it is affordable or too expensive, statements that the road doesn t make sense, and testimony that installing a swimming pool on adjacent property was cost prohibitive. Also presented were quotes of staff comments to commissioners about the cost/benefit exception being tied to alignment of the future street within Sensitive Lands, rather than, as the appellants assert, a cost/benefit analysis being applied as its own standalone exception to the connectivity standard. The Council finds that this evidence falls short of establishing that a party raised the issue of whether the proposal merits an exception under LOC 0.0.00..c.vi() with sufficient specificity to allow the Commission to address that issue. From the Commission s findings, it is apparent that the Commission did not understand that 1 0 1 The HOA letter to the DRC, received May 1, 0, did cite the Sensitive Lands Overlay District standards, LOC 0;0.00., but only in relation to sensitive lands located within the Bella Terra subdivision. The comment regarding the connectivity standard was a generalized desire for a construction cost recapture plan. Exhibit A-. The HOA appeal statement merely listed a number of code sections, including LOC 0.0.00. Local Street Connectivity. The HOA stated that [t]he HOA is still preparing a response listing specific details related to the Community Development Code and will provide this in sufficient time before the DRC hearing. (Exhibit A-). The DRC minutes do not reflect the HOA or any other person raising the sensitive lands exception of LOC 0.0.00..c.ii, to the connectivity standard. It was not until the HOA s Council statement of appeal that the HOA cited the sensitive lands exception, LOC 0.0.00..c.ii, noting the presence of sensitive lands on the site and stated that any future lots lie within a heavily sloped topography as well as having sensitive lands that forbids any design from being practical from a cost/benefit perspective. (Exhibit A-). Page FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & ORDER (LU 1-000) PO BOX / 0 A AVENUE LAKE OSWEGO, OREGON 0
1 1 1 1 1 0 1 issue to have been raised. Staff answering Commission questions about a Code provision does not equate to a party raising an issue about the application of that provision. In any event, even if the issue of the LOC 0.0.00..c.vi() exception had been raised with sufficient specificity, the City Council finds that raising questions about costs and practicality does not constitute an actual benefit/cost analysis showing there is no reasonable justification for the full street connection. Evidence of opinions that construction would be expensive or difficult, with no projection and analysis of expected costs, is not sufficient. Secondly, even if a sufficient benefit/cost analysis had been presented, there is no evidence in the record establishing that eliminating the future connectivity plan of a street through the site (met through the road dedication) would be the minimum [measure] necessary to address the constraint. During oral argument, the HOA suggested that it is difficult for neighbors to fund a formal cost/benefit analysis. The Council notes that cost of the analysis would typically be borne by the property owner/applicant in seeking the exception to the future connectivity plan, as the applicant has the burden of proof as to whether the exception criteria are met. Both appellants proposed eliminating the through-site road dedication and requiring only a dedication onto Tax Lot, as a method to comply with the Plat Note access restriction in Bella Terra subdivision plat. The extent of that dedication on the site would have no effect on the future connectivity plan or the placement of structures on the site from that future street. As stated previously, the street dedication was an equivalent method of showing a future connectivity plan on the site, per LOC 0.0.00..d.i. Structures on the site would still be required to be placed back from future streets per LOC 0.0.00..d.ii. The Council concurs with the Commission that the dedication requirement is reasonably related to alleviation of a need for public services or facilities created or contributed to by the proposed development, e.g., the street system, resulting by this one-lot partition (LOC 0.0.00..a.iii). The Council also notes that the application included the dedication. Page FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS & ORDER (LU 1-000) PO BOX / 0 A AVENUE LAKE OSWEGO, OREGON 0
1 1 1 On appeal to the City Council, the applicant challenged the requirement to extend the public sewer line to the south boundary of the property. The City Council incorporates the staff response to that issue in the June, 0, Council Report, including without limitation the staff finding that the issue was not raised with sufficient specificity before the Development Review Commission, and that in any event LOC 0.0.00..d. requires the extension to the upstream property line. The Council also incorporates the discussion of the sewer extension in the April, 0 staff report. The City Council received testimony that the required right-of-way dedication, together with the size, configuration and topography of the parcel, and the location of the sensitive lands, all combine to constrain the remaining buildable area to an extent that a home constructed on the parcel will be smaller and out of character with other residences in the area. The Council finds, however, that the Code does not provide a mechanism for undoing this unfortunate consequence of the illegal creation of Tax Lot. CONCLUSION Based upon the preceding Findings, the City Council concludes that LU 1-000, with the conditions imposed by the Development Review Commission, meets all of the applicable criteria and should be approved. 1 1 ORDER 0 1 IT IS ORDERED BY THE LAKE OSWEGO CITY COUNCIL that: 1.
