Re:
City of Newberg File No. DCA17-0004; Legislative Text Amendments to Allow Planned Unit Development Apptications to Propose Private Streets
Dear Chair Dale and Members of the Newberg Planning Commission:
This office represents J.T. Smith Companies (the "Applicant "). The Applicant has reviewed the staff report to the Planning Commission for the October 12, 2017 public hearing regarding the text amendments. As you know, the text amendments were initiated by the Newberg City Council. If approved, the amendments will authorize private streets under certain conditions in planned unit developments of at least 19 lots or more. The Applicant agrees with the staff report analysis and recommendation that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the amendments to the Newberg City Council text amendment. The amendments do not require that private streets be approved in planned unit developments but simply allow applicants an opportunity to submit planned unit developments with private streets. The Applicant has reviewed the comments provided to the Planning Commission thus far and will address those at the Planning Commission hearing. The comments address how a private street will function in a planned unit development. While the questions can be answered, they are more appropriately addressed at the time an applicant requests a planned unit development with private streets. Moreover, the Applicant has extensive experience developing residential and mixed use developments in Oregon, many of which contain private streets. The key to successful planned unit developments with private streets is a strong management company implementing the conditions, covenants, and restrictions, which include the management of private streets.
