The Applicants propose Whispering Trees Subdi~crisioxt as a 21 lot residential subdivision. Although it is the Applicants' intezit to develop the subdivision for single-family detached. use, the R-2 dish~ct also allows duplexes. The subdivision is proposed to be developed in tiuo {2) phases as illustrated on the tentative plan irLap, Figure 1. Proposed Tract A (yellow highlighted in Figure 1) is designed to contain the subsurface master water meter facilities to serve the City's proposed water storage facility south of tlae project site.

Density per net acre: The Whispering Trees Subdivision is in an R-2, Residential Two-Family zoning district, The R-2 zone has a minimum density of 6 units with a maximum of 12 units per net acre. The R-2 zoning district allows for either single-family detached or duplexes as a permitted use, At full development potential the 21 lots could accommodate either 21 single- family detached (21 units total for a density of 6.2 units/acre) or 21 duplexes (42 units total for a density of 12.3 units/acre). Considering the potential residential use mix the project complies with the minimum and maximum allowable densities for the R-2 disttictz. Lot Size: The 21 lots comply with the minimum lot area (6,000 sq. fr./7,000 sq. ft.}and width (60flJ70ft) requirements of Section 17.24.050 of the CPMC. Access: Each lot is designed to have access via Singing Grass Drive, Wind Song Lane, or one of the two (2) private access drives. Singing Grass Drive and Wind Song Lane are to be dedicated public right-of-ways, as shown on the tentative plan map, Figure 1. Watercourse: A Rogue River Valley Irrigation District canal. located on the project site will be relocated underground within those areas as illustrated on the tentative plan (Attachment A) and labeled as 15-foot wide irrigation easements by their respective instrument numbers. Road Right-of--way and improvements: West Vilas Road frontage improvements adjacent to the project will be developed to collector standards with the exception of the landscape strip. The frontage improvements shall correspond with the existing sidewalk parallel to West Vilas Road as identified in the Public Works Staff Report dated February 4, 2011. Approximately 100 feet of additional right-of--way has been dedicated for aright-in deceleration lane to the subdivision entrance. Said frontage improvements are the responsibility of the Applicants. The existing driveway accesses fi'am West Vilas Road ~~11 be eliminated upon completion of the frontage improvements. Singing Grass Drive is designed as a Standard Local Street with a T-intersection connecting Whispering Trees Subdivision to West Vilas Road. This street also provides the primary access to the City's property and proposed water reservoir adjacent to this project. As such, the street's south end has been designed as an off-set cul-de-sac to provide vehicular maneuvering at the entrance to the community garden and walking trail parking area. Dedication of Singing Grass Drive shall occur during construction of Phase I of the proposed subdivision. Wind Song Lane is designed to Residential Lane standards4. That portion intersecting Singing Grass Drive (approximately 90 feet) is to be constructed and dedicated during Phase I. The remaining street will be improved with an all-weather surface to provide an interim emergency ' CPMC 17.24.055 `' All density calculations have been rounded using the round half to even method s Unifom~ Standards for Public Works Construction; Standard Local Street.

Final construction and dedication of this section will be completed during Phase II. ISSUES: l . The jtu isdiction of this section of West Vilas Road is in dispute as noted in the Public Works Staff Report. It is expected that determination is forth coming with the City accepting road responsibility. As such, Jackson County Roads comments are included as information, see Attachment F. 2. By definition Singing Grass Drive and Wind Song Lane are classified as a cul-de-sac. Section Ib.20.080 limits the length of a cul-de-sac to 400 ft. The combined length of Singing Grass Drive and Wind Song Lane is 580 ft. The primary purpose of the length limitation is for life/safety, having a secondary means of ingresslegress for emergency purposes. However, because of the location of the proposed reservoir and Don Janes Park, the only means of developing the property is through use of a cul-de-sac. To address the lifelsafety issue, an emergency access has been provided connecting Wind Song Lane and Don Jones Park. This access connectivity is to be located at the terminus of Wind Sang Lane along the westerly boundary of the subject property. The emergency vehicle access has been designed with concrete walking paths that can acconunodate the additional weight loads of an emergency vehicle. Fully-retractable and removable bollards will be installed at the shared boundary. The sidewalk is designed to connect with the existing eastern park sidewallc as illustrated on the tentative plan Attachment A. Until such dine as Wind Song Lane is completed, it is required that a minimum twenty (20) foot wide interim emergency access road be constructed. The interim emergency access will be replaced at such time as Wind Song Lane is constructed. This issue has been addressed in Conditions Nas.l and 2. 3_ Should the existing dwelling located on proposed Lot 2i remain during Phase i construction, the West Vilas Road driveway approach will be eliminated and as such a temporary driveway access shall be provided. Permanent access for Lats 20 and 21 is via a private drive that will be constructed durin~ Phase II. The Phase I engineering plans shall include the temporary access driveway . This issue has been addressed in Condition No. 2. FINDINGS See attached Attachment "K" CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL: 1.

Finding: The primary infrastructure of Singing Grass Dive will be constructed by the City to provide public access to the water reservoir site located adjacent and to the south of the project. The Applicants shall complete Singing Grass Drive public improvements together with the entirety of Wind Song Lane and the private access drives. Finding; Wind Song Lane shall be designed and constructed to Residential Lane standards with a 35-foot right-of--way with sidewalks, ST-11 serving three (3) Lots. Wind Song Lane is designed to be constructed in two phases. The first phase will include the intersection of Wind Song Lane and Singing Grass Drive and is designed to be constructed in Phase I of the project and will provide the interim emergency access as required. The remaining portion of Wind Sang Lane will be constructed and dedicated as part of Phase iI to include the private drive access far Lots 20 and 21. Finding: The Applicants propose that existing structures are to be removed prior to final plat. Should the existing dwelling located on propose Lot 21 remain during Phase I construction the West Vilas Road driveway approach will be eliminated and as such a temporary driveway access shall be provided, Permanent access for Lots 20 and 2l is via a private drive that will be constructed during Phase II as illustrated on the tentative plan, Applicants' Exhibit B, Attachment A. The Phase I engineering plans shall include the temporary access driveway as provided by CPMC Section 16.10.490 and is a Condition of any approval. Conclusion: The tentative plan can comply. CPMC 16.20.020 Streets-Generally. The location, width, and grade of stf-eets shall be considered in their relation. to existing a.nd planned streets, to topographical conditions as they relate to drainage and the operation of the K~ater, sewer systems, to p~sblic convenience and safety and their appropriate relation to the proposed use of the land to be served by such Page 2 of 7 streets. Wlaete location is not shown. in a development plan, the arrangement of streets in. a subdivision. shall either: A_ Pi°ovide for the contin~satian or appropriate projection of existing streets in surrounding areas; or B. Conform. to the plan,fot the neighborhood approved or adopted by the city to meet a particular situation where topographical or other conditions make continuance or confarrnance to existing streets impractical. Finding: Singing Grass Urine is designed with a T intersection connecting Whispering Trees Subdivision to West Vilas Road, a collector, Along West Vilas Road approximately 100 feet of additional right-of--way has been dedicated for aright- in deceleration lane to the subdivision entrance. Finding: The jurisdiction (City or Jackson County) of the section of West Vilas Road adjacent to the project will be determined prior to final plat approval. The City Public Works Department has requested that Jackson County Roads provide a formal jurisdictional determination as evidenced by the Public Works staff report dated February 4, 201 I . It is expected that determination is forth coming with the City accepting road responsibility Finding: A public pedestrian and emergency vehicle access shall be constructed onto the adjoining Don Jones Park. This access connectivity is to be located at the terminus of Wind Song Lane along the westerly boundary of the subject property. The emergency vehicle access has been designed with concrete walking paths that can accommodate the additional weight loads of aza emergency vehicle. Fully-retractable and removable bollards will be installed at the shared boundary. The sidewalk is designed to connect with the existing park sidewalk as illustrated on the tentative plan Applicants' Exhibit B, Attachment A.

Section 16.20.080 limits the length of a cul-de-sac to 400 ft. Singing Grass Drive to the intersection of Wind Song Lane is 2$3 feet and 340 feet to the intersection of West Vilas Road far the combined length of 580 feet. The primary purpose of the length limitation is far life/safety, having a secondary means of ingress/egress for emergency purposes. However, because of the location of the proposed reservoir and Don Jones Park the only means of developing the property is through use of a cul-de-sac. Finding: As noted in the above findings, Singing Grass Drive provides the primary access to the City's water reservoir adjacent to this project. As such, the street's south end has been designed as an off-set cul-de-sac to provide vehicular maneuvering at the entrance to the community garden and walking trail parking area. Page 3 of 7 Finding: To address the life/safety issue, an emergency access has been provided connecting Wind Song Lane and Dori Janes Park. This access connectivity is to be located at the terminus of Wind Sang Lane along the westerly boundary of the subject property. Finding: Until such time as Wind Song Lane is completed with Phase Il of the project, it is required that a minimum twenty (20) foot wide interim emergency access road be constructed. The interim emergency access will be replaced at such time as Wind Song Lane is constructed and is a Condition of any approval. Conclusion: The tentative plan can comply. 16.24.030 Blocks-Easements.
