EugenePublic Works <br /> Maintenance <br /> September 18, 2018 <br /> Keith Tabor <br /> 2187 Essex Lane <br /> Eugene, OR 97405 <br /> Dear Mr. Tabor, <br /> Thank you for contacting Public Works and expressing interest in our Gravel Street and Alley <br /> Partnership opportunity. Your request, as identified on the TSP application is to pave an <br /> existing gravel surface. I have inspected the gravel portion of Essex Lane from Spring Blvd. <br /> northeast to approximately 160 feet connecting with the existing paved surface of Essex <br /> Lane. I offer the following observations, along with your options for proceeding in a <br /> partnership with Public Works for surfacing the gravel section of Essex Lane. <br /> The portion of Essex Ln. involved in this agreement is located northeast of the intersection of <br /> L Spring Blvd. This street segment adjoins, at least partially, approximately four residential <br /> properties, several of which use this street for primary access. Segment length on Essex Ln. <br /> included in this agreement is approximately 160 feet long and the dedicated street width <br /> varies between approximately 36-40 feet. The street alignment is fairly linear, running <br /> northeast. There is an approximate 10 percent grade rise heading northeast with the highest <br /> point near the northeast end of the project. The current surface is gravel. The average street <br /> width available for surfacing is approximately 12 feet maximum along this segment. <br /> Overall condition of the gravel surface is heavily worn with rutting and minimal base rock and <br /> some mud/dirt present at the surface. <br /> There were no driveway culverts noted, and culvert maintenance is the responsibility of <br /> adjacent property owners. Drainage appears to follow the natural slopes and sheet flows <br /> predominantly to the south and west. <br /> Residents of Essex Ln. have the following option available as a partnership with Public <br /> Works: <br /> The City will perform or contract the grading and paving of the identified street segment. Up <br /> to 8-tons of rock may be utilized to fill potholes or existing low spots prior to paving. Paving <br /> will be performed in two lifts with a total compacted thickness of approximately four inches <br /> (4") over gravel. Additional thickness may be provided as an option. Asphalt will be • <br /> Commercial C and is limited to 50 tons. Where existing driveways are asphalt, the new <br /> asphalt will be feathered into the existing surface. When paving is complete, a gravel <br /> City of Eugene • 1820 Roosevelt Blvd. • Eugene, OR 97402 • 541-682-4800 • 541-682-4882 Fax <br /> www.eugene-or.gov <br />
