COMMENTS: 5. Information listed below may be a narrative summary of comments received from various agencies. Complete written comments are available in the file. Marion County Department of Public Works Land Development Engineering and Permits (LDEP) requested the following conditions, lettered A through E, be included in the decision. LDEP also commented on requirements that are not part of the land use decision and available for review in the planning file. Condition A - The proposed development would generate a significant amount of traffic that would impact the transportation system in the area. This trip generation is in the range for which a Transportation Impact Analysis (TIA) may be required. However, Marion County staff has reviewed the area and the transportation impacts, and has identified mitigation measures necessary for this development. If the developer provides the mitigation measures included in the following Conditions, Marion County Public Works will not require preparation of a TIA. Condition B— Pursuant to Chapter 16.39.060(B)(10) of the Marion County Urban Zone Code, the applicant will be required to dedicate sufficient right-of-way along the 45th Avenue NE subject property frontage to provide the public dedicated right-of-way half -width necessary to accommodate public improvements. Dedication shall be a 36 foot half -width as specified for a City of Salem Minor Arterial street standard to accommodate a minimum 12 foot wide center/left turn lane. Any dedications should be to the public, not Marion County. Condition C — Improve the 45th Avenue NE subject property frontage in accordance with appropriate standards as directed by Public Works, to include such elements as a 23 foot paved half -width to accommodate a travel lane, bike lane, and one-half center turn lane, curb and gutter, property line sidewalk, closed -system drainage work, and landscaping over the entire frontage. The developer will also need to provide a full left center turn lane at the site access that will necessitate widening the east side of 45th Avenue pavement to maintain the existing lane and shoulder widths. Condition D — Provide the ability for vehicular connectivity from the subject property to tax lot 072W07DC00700, addressed as Wellesley Park Apartments. Condition E — Provide a sidewalk or other pedestrian connection from the proposed development south to the existing sidewalk at the corner of 45th Avenue NE at Silverton Road NE, a distance of approximately 350 feet.
