Client: Metro Homes NW LLC
Service: 2025 SE Harold Street Justification for Design Exception Report.
Project Description: The proposed new construction includes a three-story, six-unit apartment building with two 119 square feet storage sheds and three parking spaces in the rear; and, garbage and bike parking in front of the building. Access to the proposed parking in the rear of the building is to be provided through a 10 feet wide alley.
Results: In evaluating the justification to approve the proposed two-way traffic alley width design exception, we considered the following factors: traffic volumes, City of Portland Codes/Design Standards, availability of right-of-way and safety.
The proposed 10 feet wide alley width can easily and safely accommodate two-way traffic for the proposed parking spaces. Based on the justification noted above, it is recommended that the design exception be approved.
