Larry Blanchard highlighted the Public Works Department Staff Report of
October 6, 1993. On Condition #2, he requested that the Developer submit a
traffic analysis regarding the adequacy of storage for a left turn. Condition #7
requires the developer plans to show the 50' right of way, street width of 36'
from curb to curb, curbs/gutters, sidewalks, storm drainage, street lights and
utility crossings. Blanchard also stated that connecting to the regional
interceptor would save $200 per month BCVSA surcharge. The developer
N would need to build a sanitary sewer system to connect to the 12" sanitary
sewer in Columbine Way and provide an 8" sewer extension at the southerly
U end of the property.
m
Q Mark Servatius stated that staff and applicant met and discussed fire and safety
issues that weren't shown on the Site Plan. Mark Servatius stated the project
would conform to applicable Fire and Safety rules if the applicant could meet
the requirements in the staff report.
George Rubaloff corrected the Planning Department Staff Review, Item 4, so
that it states that Hopkins Road is a collector street.
Mike Lanier, 2720 Stonebrook, Medford, agent for the applicant came forward
in support of the proposed Site Plan Application. Mr. Lanier stated that his
client would be able to meet the conditions outlined in the Staff Report
including covered bike parking which could be handled with the covered
automobile parking structure. He stated that the corrections to the parking
isles would be shown on the Site Plan and that the on-site parking will be
paved. The Plan will also indicate light poles, lighting, parking, loading, fire
hydrants, maneuvering, required landscaping and ADA required "disabled"
parking spaces.
Charles Hobein, 745 Hopkins, whose property lies just west of the proposed
development came forward with a question concerning the fence line and
drainage. He also stated that it was dangerous driving East on Hopkins, and
felt that it would be even more dangerous with the additional traffic flow.
Larry Blanchard stated that future plans for Hopkins will depend on some
development in that area, and the design will try to eliminate the horizontal
curve. There will be three access, one on Hopkins, the second will be a new
street entering the development and a third access will be off Beall Lane. He
stated that traffic control of an intersection depends directly on the accident
record, and that any signing, etc. today may not be adequate in 10 years. He
informed the Commission that the City is in the process of developing a Master
Transportation Plan.

including Agreement for Consent to Inclusion in Local Improvement District for
Waiver of LID Assessment.

m
Q George Rubaloff referred to the November 10, 1993 Memorandum and stated
that at the last Planning Commission meeting, the Commission authorized the
adoption of Resolution 266, and since the Resolution had not been prepared at
that time, the present review is to clarify the Planning Commission's
determination in writing.
Larry Blanchard stated that the City does not have a standard for a pavement
transition, however, according to State Standards, transitions are determined
by the designated speed for each street. The State of Oregon and Jackson
County use a minimum 10 to 1 transition formula. West Pine is 32 feet wide,
the future width will be 60 feet wide. 32 feet widened to 60 feet is an
additional 28 feet of pavement or 14 feet of pavement on each side of the
street. To calculate the transition, multiply 14 feet by the 10 foot transition
factor, which equals a 140' transition.
Larry Blanchard illustrated on the blackboard how the transition is calculated.
Commissioner Fish moved that Resolution 266 be approved with the
requirements that the street transition lanes should be 50' transition in each
direction (Triangular) from the beginning of the curb radius and end of the curb
both for both Emmalee and Nadine Courts to the existing pavement on West
Pine Street, and that the written amount of $4815.62 be inserted in the
Irrevocable Consent Agreement under #2. "Payment to City".
Commissioner Johnson seconded the Motion. Roll Call Vote: Fish, yes; Graves,
yes; and Johnson, yes, and the Motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Piland stated that this decision will be communicated to the City
Council at their November 18, 1993 meeting.
Commissioner Farber returned to his seat on the Commission.
