Local Street Plan due to the unforseen effects that Measure 47 is expected to have on our <br /> community. <br /> Wig: The provisions relating to trees in the Local Street Plan and the City's <br /> Street Tree Program are funded through the Road Fund which is not dependent on <br /> property tax revenues which are expected to be impacted by Measure 47. Staffing for this <br /> program is intended to be funded through fees the program generates. <br /> Comment 14: The rules are vague in several areas that leave too much room for <br /> interpretation, thus resulting in added delays in processing time for building .permits. <br /> Finding: Section 7.280(3) of the Eugene Code, 1971 requires a developer to 'obtain <br /> approval of a Street Tree Plan prior to receiving approval of a final plat. Since approval <br /> of the final .plat occurs prior to submission of applications for building permits, it is not <br /> anticipated that this requirement will impact building permit.processing time. Since no <br /> specific examples of "vagueness" are cited, no response can be made to that portion of the <br /> comment, nor modification or clarification of the rules. <br /> Comment 15: The added costs associated with the Local Street Plan amount to <br /> $1,099 per subdivision lot. <br /> Finding: The cost analysis cited was prepared using the option in which the <br /> developer, plants and establishes the street trees. While not debating the costs cited, a <br /> number of the items listed represented subcontractor or supplier costs to be incurred by <br /> the developer, and not practicable for city staff to verify. <br /> However, when comparing these costs to those using the option in which the City <br /> plants and establishes the street trees we arrive at similar figures. For example, a lot with <br /> 90 -100 feet of street frontage could require three trees costing $900 $1200 depending on <br /> whether it was classified as a 1oea1 or collector street. A lot with 50-60 feet of street <br /> frontage could require two trees costing $600- $800. <br /> Therefore, depending on the average size of the subdivision lots, these costs are <br /> accurate and generally within the range of cost anticipated. Therefore, there, is no need <br /> to adjust the rule <br /> Comment 16: Every lot is subject to a set of CC&Rs that require the approval of <br /> a Landscape Plan that includes Street Trees. In those CC&Rs the homeowner is required <br /> to maintain the trees. If they do not then the Architectural Control Committee or the City <br /> of Eugene has the right to enforce the CC &Rs. <br /> Finding: Section 7.280(3) of the Eugene Code, 1971 requires a developer to obtain <br /> approval of a Street Tree Plan prior to receiving approval of the final plat.
