tea„ ( a - �� Block Lengths and Other Street Standards Street block lengths are not all within the 600 foot block length restriction. However, the applicant has adequately demonstrated that this block length is not always possible due to factors such as steep slopes, significant trees, wetlands, and other worthwhile natural features. The applicant has established that modifications to the otherwise required 600 foot block length restriction is warranted for each of those blocks in the proposed PUD that exceed 600 feet. Subject to the approved modifications and conditions of approval, the proposed PUD satisfies the requirements of EC 9.512(6)(c)(5). Section 9.512(6)(d): Public services and facilities are available to the site. If the public services and facilities are not presently available, an affirmative finding may be made if evidence indicates that they will be available prior to need by reason of: 1. Prior commitment of public funds or planning by the appropriate public agencies, or 2. A commitment by the applicant to provide private services and facilities acceptable to the appropriate public agencies, or 3. Commitment by the applicant to provide for offsetting all added public costs or early commitment of public funds made necessary by the development. Findings: All public services are, or can be made available to the site prior to need, as follows: � Water Service Water service will be provided by the Eugene Water and Electric Board (EWEB), and is available to serve the site, or will be available prior to development of each of the phases. Testimony was provided at the public hearing that EWEB could not provide water to the Regan Heights portion of the development. That testimony was based, in part, on comments from EWEB that "At this time, EWEB is not able to serve lots above 750 feet (Regan Heights) in Phase 7 due to lack of a high pressure system in this area. A future 975 pump station and reservoir are master planned for this area, the timing and installation of this facility is dependent on land acquisition, funding and system demand. The development may have the option of constructing a temporary pump station to serve Regan Heights at the developer's cost, if EWEB and the Fire Marshall approve of the installation and adequate provisions for maintenance are provided." In response to public testimony that water service was not available to serve Regan Heights, an EWEB representative testified at the public hearing to clarify that, in fact, water service is available. Following the public hearing, the EWEB representative provided additional clarifying written testimony, as follows: "In light of the written testimony received by the hearings official, the EWEB Water Division would like to clarify in writing some misconceptions about the water supply. The first is the confusion of reservoir emergency storage and fire flow capabilities with water supply. EWEB Decision of Hearings Official — September 20, 1999 (PD 99 -4; ZC 99 -12) Page 40 of 51
