Local Street Plan due to the unforseen effects that Measure 47 is expected to have on our <br />community. <br />Fording: 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 />Fin ' :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 />in in :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 staffto 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 local or collector street. A lot with 50-60 feet of street <br />frontage could require two trees costng'$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 />Fin 'n :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.
