Public Works Staff Report as "Information Needed". He asked what did
(IN) 4 entail. Public Works Director, Larry R. Blanchard answered that
lot lines must be adjusted to make certain that each lot has at least a 60'

plans are drawn, that they will show that the structures will be placed
on the lots in such a manner as to meet the a 20' setback and the 60'

(Nadine Way). Mr. Farber said that the developers can only improve on
property that they own and that in many court cases, it has been ruled
that the Developer does not have to make improvements off site.
Larry Blanchard referred to the Off-Site improvements Ordinance, which
states that the right turn pocket would be required because W. Pine is
a secondary arterial. Mr. Rubaloff informed the Commission that this D
Ordinance, CPMC 16.10.090 gives the City specific authority to require (ZJ
off-site improvements in cases where a development poses negative C7
impacts to the public. �J

Mr. Branch stated that he felt that it was not fair to expect the developer A
to pay for the box culvert improvement, and that the City should treat
all developers the same. He mentioned that the City had helped other
developers with box culverts, etc. in the past.
Bob Bauman 1055 N. 5th Street Jacksonville, asked to be recognized in
support of the application for Tentative Plan. Mr. Bauman felt that since
this was a small 17 unit development, that the City should not require

No one else came forward in support of or in opposition to the proposed
Tentative Plan. Chairman Ellard closed the Public Meeting.
The Commission asked staff if the improvements on W. Pine were
needed because wear and tear due to the added traffic flow in and out
of the proposed subdivision.
Blanchard replied that the Public Works Department follows the
requirements in the ODOT manual for traffic criteria concerning
acceleration and deceleration transition. These requirements are safety
related, because of the ingress, egress into the proposed subdivision.
These proposed ingress/egress's off of W. Pine carry the potential of
causing traffic accidents.
The Commission wanted to know if they could amend the Conditions in
Exhibit "A" which was incorporated into the Resolution. City
Administrator, Kucera, stated that the Planning Commission can
recommend only through a resolution to the City Council, but that the
City Council is the body that has the authority to approve this land use
' application.
B. Resolution No. 241 - A Resolution for a Tentative Plan for Griffin Creek
Estates Subdivision.
Commissioner Piland moved that the Commission recommend Resolution #241
for Tentative Plan for Griffin Creek Estates Subdivision, amending the
incorporated Exhibit "A" by deleting the word "both" in the second line and
deleting the entire last sentence of Condition #2. Commissioner Hugo-Johnson
seconded the Motion. Roll call Vote: Bettenburg, yes; Hugo-Johnson, yes;
Graves, yes; and Piland, yes; and the Motion carried unanimously. This
amendment of "Exhibit A" essentially removed all off-site improvements
(deceleration and acceleration lanes) at the west opening of the Subdivision.
After the Resolution was passed, George Rubaloff stated that Section 2
needed to be amended to accurately reflect that off-site improvements were
related to traffic safety not traffic volume. Commissioner Piland moved that the
language in the Resolution Section 2 phrase ..."will add substantial traffic"...
be changed to read... "will pose a safety problem..." and that further
refinements be made to the language and approved by the Commission
Chairman prior to signing. Commissioner Hugo-Johnson seconded the Motion.
Roll Call Vote: Bettenburg, yes; Graves, yes; Hugo-Johnson, yes; Piland, yes;
