MEMORANDUM

Katie Moore, Civil Engineer I
FROM: Cam McNair, City Engineer WA
DATE: August 12, 2002
RE: Eagle Cliffs — Requests' for Variances
I am willing to approve the three variance requests recently submitted by Mike Oberlander of
North Star Design:
(1) The driveway separation requirement is not necessary for public safety in this case, and I
strongly support the use of vertical curb -and -gutter in residential situations such as this.
(2) The reduced tangent Iengths will also be acceptable in the proposed design, considering
the short streets with eyebrow curves.
(3) The elimination of the centerline profiles in the plan set for the local street designs is
approved, following conversations with the design engineer. His assurance that his
design begins from the centerline, plus the fact that this information is not necessary for
construction staking, persuades me that this variance request can be supported for this
particular designer on this particular project.
As on all variances approved by the Engineering Department, these three for Eagle Cliffs do not
necessarily constitute a precedent for similar situations on other projects.
