Attachments: image002.png; When making intersection improvements, including widening for the left turn lane, I would argue that sidewalks are included. Look at the property adjacent to Bi-Mart and the property adjacent to the Urgent Care clinic. The sidewalks bikeways and roadway improvements are a part of the access for future growth. In order to make improvements to have an access the following must happen to meet full standards. · Widening for the left turn lane with required storage (this most likely will reach bear creek) · Storm drainage which may trigger stormwater storage for the impervious run off · Curbing for storm water I do caution that the longer Stafford waits to make improvements, the more costly it will be. In three years, once the City transitions into Major NPDES permit, not only will they be required to provide storage for the water, treatment for all new impervious surfaces will be required as well.

The second paragraph, though: Based on my recollection of our meeting on October 30th, the City seemed in support of conditioning frontage improvements with this application. Since our meeting, does the City feel that there is not a nexus, and/or that it not proportional to the development, to require the frontage improvements? I Just want to be on the same page. I think that Morgan has an argument about the frontage improvements as there is no development proposed, technically, along that frontage. We agree that the access will require improvements anyway, but not to the same extent that ODOT is requesting with this application: Curb, sidewalk, bikeways and road widening shall be constructed as necessary to be consistent with the local Transportation System Plan and ODOT/ADA standards. (From their recommended conditions of approval, attached) So in light of this discrepancy, what are your thoughts on the following verbiage for conditions of approval? The applicant shall abide by the recommended conditions of approval from the Highway 211/W, Main St. road authority, the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), listed in Exhibit 6, pursuant to the following specifications:

Subject: [QUAR] RE: Amended Staff Report
Nicolas,
Thank you for the revised staff report. I want to make sure that I understand the revised conditions. In Condition (k)(i), it states that “improvements related to the proposed access on W Main Street shall be required to be performed when the access is requested by the applicant, and before development of Phase II begins. This includes, but is not limited, to land dedication, road widening, and road improvements.” Based on the narrative and concept plan, the applicant is proposing the connection to W Main Street (OR-211) at Phase I, since ODOT’s recommendation to realign the proposed public street connection with S Ona Way was communicated with the developer, is the Phasing Plan changing? Furthermore, the language would infer that Phase I could apply for building permits, and potentially occupancy, prior to completing the necessary improvements related to the proposed street connection with OR-211. Is that so? It’s slightly confusing especially when compared to the new Condition (n)(i), which implies that the associated improvements would need to be permitted via ODOT’s processes (i.e. donation and miscellaneous permits associated with improvements) prior to building permits—which is the usual progression for improvements and permitting. If you are thinking a different strategy to timing improvements and permits, I want to make sure I have a complete understanding.
Condition (k)(ii) stipulates, that “any ODOT improvements requested by ODOT not related to the function of the access point shall be required to be performed when the development occurs on the frontage parcel, currently Tax Lot 3202.” I want to be clear hear, that the City of Molalla is not requiring frontage improvements along Tax Lot 3202 until a development is proposed. Based on my recollection of our meeting on October 30th, the City seemed in support of conditioning frontage improvements with this application. Since our meeting, does the City feel that there is not a nexus, and/or that it not proportional to the development, to require the frontage improvements? If the City does not believe that there is nexus or it’s not proportional to the development, it’s the City’s call based on your local code requirements. I would like to note, and what I believe you are also inferring in Condition (k)(i), to accommodate the public street connection, there will be a portion along Tax Lot 3202 that will require ROW donation and improvements, correct?
I am in Hood River this morning until about 1p, I will try to give you a ring this afternoon before I leave for the Planning Commission hearing tonight.

Joshua,
I bolded the amended conditions on the last page, let me know your thoughts. It just adds more specificity to how your (ODOT) conditions relate to the PUD and phasing.
Thanks,
