Highway 211: Questions and Answers Here are the City’s responses to Pre-App questions presented by Stafford Land Company: Transportation
Subdivision
Stafford Land Company’s prior Subdivision application – P45-2016 – provides excellent background information for this pre-app. Here is an excerpt from the prior approved Appeal conditions for this site, as approved by Molalla City Council in February 2017:
13(A)(2). Highway 211is an arterial street under Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) jurisdiction. Current right-of-way width is 60 feet and approximate pavement width is 30 feet. Arterial streets (w/travel lanes, w/median, w/bike lanes, w/sidewalks, w/o parking) require 64 feet of right-of-way and 50 feet of pavement for areas with 6’ wide curb tight sidewalk. Applicant will be required to dedicate 2.5 feet of right-of-way and construct road improvements to State standards for 25 feet of pavement (CL to face of curb), curb and gutter, and 6 foot curb tight sidewalk. If required during design review by ODOT, additional striping and pavement tapers may be necessary to allow for pavement transitions and striping. Specific frontage design requirements to be determined during construction design phase.
2. Please discuss any frontage improvements our proposed subdivision will trigger. What frontage
improvements will our proposed subdivision trigger on OR-211?
Please see ODOT response above.
3. Please confirm the planned access point from the existing Right-of-Way on Coho St is acceptable
to the City.
??? GERALD
4. Please confirm the proposed hammerhead intersection is compatible with emergency vehicle
access needs.
??? MIKE PENUNURI AND GERALD
5. Please confirm the proposed private access and utility easements on Lot 1 and Lot 9 conform to
City standards.
The easements must meet this and any other standards Gerald and Mike Penunuri identify:
6. Please discuss any other known transportation issues that may affect our proposed subdivision.
On Stafford Land Company’s prior subdivision application (P45-2016), this transportation condition was applied to the subdivision. The pre-app subdivision plat shows a 10 foot wide access easement. Please expand this easement to 15 feet, as required below in 2016: (GERALD, DO YOU KNOW WHY WE REQUIRED 15 FEET, WHEN THE STANDARDS REQUIRE ONLY 6 FEET IN WIDTH??)
Services & Utilities
7. Please confirm Lot 6 of the Molalla River Estates subdivision is used for a storm water detention
facility.
GERALD?
8. Please provide any as-builts for the storm water detention facility used by the Molalla River
Estates subdivision including current capacity.
GERALD? Gerald, DZ downloaded these as-builts. You can find them at this link:
9. Please confirm the existence and location of a storm water sewer pipe in the Molalla River
Estate subdivision on Coho Street.
GERALD?
10. Please let us know the nearest point of connectivity for utilities.
GERALD?
Land Use
11. Please confirm that Lot 9 meets the requirements of MMC 17-4.3.050 for a 20 %, 12’, lot width
adjustment.
Please show how the proposal can meet these standards, as outlined in MMC 17-4.3.050 (A):
A. Lot Size Averaging. To allow flexibility in subdivision design and to address physical constraints, such as topography, existing development, significant trees, and other natural and built features, the approval body may grant a 20 percent modification to the lot area and/or lot dimension (width/depth) standards in Chapter 17-2.2, provided that the overall density of the subdivision does not exceed the allowable density of the district and the approval body finds that all of the following are met:
1. Granting the modification is necessary to achieve planned housing densities, as allowed by the underlying zone, or to improve development compatibility with natural features or adjacent land uses;
2. The Planning Official may require screening, buffering, or other transitions in site design where substandard lots are proposed to abut standard- or larger-sized lots.
12. Please confirm there are no wetlands to the east of our property which will impact our proposed
subdivision.
The City’s 2001 Wetland Inventory does not show wetland in the right-of-way to the east of this property. However, the document is 18 years old. Stafford Land Company should complete this research independently.
