SERVICEABILITY AND ESTIMATED COSTS TO PROVIDE URBAN LEVELS
OF CITY SERVICES TO FIVE POTENTIAL UGB EXPANSION AREAS (METRO PLAN AMENDMENT FILE NO. LRP 2009-00014)
ACTION
REQUESTED:
The Council requested more detailed infrastructure and City services cost estimates to
consider as they review and discuss the Springfield 2030 Plan, potential UGB expansion areas and options for growth.
ISSUE STATEMENT: Staff prepared a Serviceability Analysis and Cost Estimates for five UGB study areas (ATT1). The analysis: 1) examines the serviceability of potentially suitable lands by
identifying transportation and infrastructure projects needed to provide urban services
to each area; 2) examines whether services can likely be provided in the 2030 planning period, and 3) provides planning level cost estimates to provide services to five
geographic areas. The City Council’s 2030 Plan UGB proposal and the final UGB
may include land within these five study areas or other lands identified through the 2030 Plan process, consistent with the prioritization requirements of ORS 197.298 and
the Oregon Land Use Goal 14 Administrative Rule.

DISCUSSION/ FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
This is the first of a series of Council Work Sessions to discuss potential UGB
expansion areas and options for growth.
• This Session - UGB Study Areas Serviceability and Cost Analysis
• May 5, 2014 - Session 2 Council Discussion and Public
Involvement/Stakeholder Input 2008-2014
• May 12, 2014 - Session 3 Council Discussion
At the March 18, 2013 Work Session, the Council received high level comparative
cost estimates to serve five UGB study areas. At Council’s request, Springfield engineering, transportation and finance staff prepared more detailed cost of infrastructure estimates, including itemized project lists. These estimates are in 2014
dollars and are likely to be exceeded at the actual time of project and/or land development. The cost estimates to extend services to each area are high so it is likely that most types of development in any new area will require a mix of public and
private investment to build the necessary infrastructure.
The serviceability and cost analysis are provided to assist the Council as they evaluate
pros, cons and potential financial impacts of growth.

BRIEFING
MEMORANDUM
To: Gino Grimaldi, City Manager
From: Len Goodwin, DPW Director
Subject: Information for the 2030 UGB Expansion
ISSUE: Staff prepared a Serviceability Analysis and Cost Estimates for five UGB study areas
(ATT1). The analysis: 1) examines the ability to serve the study areas by identifying transportation and infrastructure projects needed to provide urban services to each area; 2) examines whether services can likely be provided in the 2030 planning period; and 3) provides
planning-level cost estimates to provide services to the five study areas. The City Council’s 2030 Plan UGB proposal and the final UGB may include land within these five study areas or other lands identified through the 2030 Plan process. The expansion of the UGB will be
consistent with the prioritization requirements of ORS 197.298 and Oregon’s Statewide Planning Goals.
COUNCIL GOALS/
MANDATE:
Provide Financially Responsible and Innovative Government Services
BACKGROUND: This work session provides Council with the requested information to inform
their discussion of a potential expansion of the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). This UGB expansion will consist of commercial and industrial land to address the needs identified in the
Commercial Industrial Buildable Lands (CIBL) Study.
At this point, three work sessions are planned. More sessions may be added. The first work
session will discuss the city services that will likely be required to serve the study areas. During
the second work session, Council will have an opportunity to review the public input received thus far. At the third session, the Council will review the data previously provided by staff and
discuss the merits of the study areas. The study areas will then be analyzed by staff, consistent
with the prioritization requirements of ORS 197.298.
History
In previous work sessions, staff presented data analyzing all of the land around the current UGB and identified 10 possible areas where expansion might occur. Through an extensive process
conducted between 2009—2013, those 10 study areas were reduced to the five that continue to be under consideration. In 2011, the City and County co-adopted parcel specific UGB and adopted the residential element of the 2030 Plan.
In July 2013, Council reviewed these five areas for employment expansion. Council directed staff to prepare more detailed information on the ability to serve each of the five areas, the
approximate costs of those services, positive and negative characteristics of expansion of the UGB into each of the areas, and the public input received during the course of staff’s public
outreach efforts.
Analysis of Services
As described above, the first work session will address the infrastructure required to provide city
services to each of the five study areas.

Included in this packet is a memorandum from the City Engineer outlining issues with respect to the provision of transportation, stormwater, and wastewater services. Staff concludes that each
of the five areas is serviceable within the meaning of the Statewide planning goals. The City
Engineer’s memorandum is supplemented by costs analyses. It is important to keep in mind that these analyses are not budget-level cost estimations but rather estimates whose principal value is
to permit comparison of relative levels of cost.
This packet also includes memoranda from each of the Chief of the Police Department and the
Chief of the Eugene-Springfield Fire Department (with comments from the City’s Finance
Director included) presenting a rough analysis of providing police, fire and life safety services in the study areas. These, too, are principally directed at establishing a basis of comparison among
the areas, and are not budgetary level estimates.
Other agencies provide parks and recreation, electricity, and water services. SUB provides an
assessment of the impact of servicing these areas in staff comments summarized in Exhibit B2. It is important to note that in the case of the Seavey Loop study area and the Mahogany-Jasper Road area, that electric power would be provided by the Emerald People’s Utility District, by
virtue of their designation of exclusive territory by the Oregon Public Utilities Commission. The same Exhibit also reflects comments received from staff of the Willamalane Parks and
Recreation District
RECOMMENDED ACTION: No action is required at this time. However, Council may choose to give staff direction about other, different or additional information it receives in
preparation for its discussion and selection of areas of potential expansion,

SUBJECT: Serviceability Review for Potential Urban Growth Boundary Expansion Areas
The City’s Engineering staff has completed a review of the City’s ability to provide wastewater,
transportation, and stormwater services to each of the five potential Urban Growth Boundary
Expansion Areas. The results of this review are summarized by Expansion Area and attached to
this memorandum for your use.
The methodology for conducting these reviews is limited to conceptual-level analysis only.
First, staff relied upon their knowledge and City records of existing wastewater, transportation,
and stormwater systems to identify potential upgrades. Second, staff reviewed maps of the
Expansion Areas and identified additional system components that may be needed to provide services external and internal to each Expansion Area. Narrative descriptions of these system
improvements were prepared and the serviceability of each Expansion Area was summarized for
each system. In addition, staff provided discussion of the potential regulatory constraints that the
City and community will likely face with regard to developing in the regulatory flood plain that
is present in each Expansion Area.
In addition to the narrative descriptions for each Expansion Area, staff prepared conceptual-level
cost estimates for providing wastewater, transportation, and stormwater services to and within
each Expansion Area. These cost estimates are also attached for your use. Please note that these
cost estimates are not intended to be used for budgeting purposes. Rather, they are intended to provide a means of comparing the relative cost to provide services for each Expansion Area.
The actual costs to provide services will certainly be different than these conceptual-level
estimates.

North Gateway
Serviceability Review – April 2014
Following is a conceptual-level discussion of the wastewater, transportation, and stormwater
improvements that would likely be needed to provide these public services to the North Gateway
Expansion Area. This discussion is not based upon detailed analysis and is therefore subject to change.
Offsite Improvements
Wastewater: Four offsite upgrades/extensions are needed to provide service to this area:
1. Pump station upgrades will be required for the existing pump station at International Way and
International Court.
2. Pump station upgrades will likely be needed for the existing pump station at Deadmond Ferry
Road and Game Farm Road to accommodate the additional flows from the Corporate Way line.
3. A pressure main will need to be extended from the end of the existing 8-inch main on the south
side of the Royal Caribbean site around this building and north to the existing UGB boundary.
4. A pressure main will need to be extended from the existing 8-inch main in Corporate Way
northerly to the existing UGB line.
Transportation: Nine offsite road extensions/improvements are needed to provide service to the area:
1. Extension of Maple Island Slough Road northerly towards the Maple Island Slough then
extending westerly to the connection with Sports Way.
2. Extension of Sports Way northerly to the existing UGB line.
3. Sprague Road overcrossing over I-5 will likely need to be improved or reconstructed to
accommodate traffic load and meet current design standards. Associated with this
improvement, are improvements to Sprague Road westerly to Armitage Road.
4. Armitage Road will likely need to be widened from Sprague Road to North Game Farm Road.
5. Intersection improvements will likely be needed at Armitage Road and North Game Farm Road,
which will likely include the addition of a left turn lane and signal modifications.
6. A bridge connection from the extended Maple Island Slough Road to the Wicklund Living trust
Property (Tax Lot 1703154000400) in order to reduce impacts to natural resource areas and to
the flood plain carrying capacity.
7. Current studies for the Gateway/Beltline intersection and the Beltline/I-5 interchange show that
current and planned development within the current UGB may not be able to be accommodated
within the planning horizon, and potential mitigation projects have been identified. The
additional vehicle trips from the North Gateway Area will require additional lane and
intersection capacity that is not available in the planned mitigation projects, so that additional
capacity will need to be provided.

Attachment 1, Page 4 of 37
Page 2 of 13
8. Extension of Maple Island Slough Road Southerly from Game Farm Road to a connection point
with Beltline Road.
9. The addition of capacity improvements will likely be needed for the interchange operations at
Beltline Road and Interstate 5.
Internal Study Area Improvements
Anticipated Improvements: In addition to Internal Roads, Wastewater and Stormwater improvements,
four major improvements are anticipated to be needed to provide internal service to the area:
1. A new medium sized wastewater pump station located at the intersection of Sports Way
extension and the existing UGB.
2. A new small sized wastewater pump station located in the vicinity of the Sprague Road
overcrossing will likely be needed to the serve areas north of this location.
3. A new small sized wastewater pump station located at the existing UGB to connect to the
pressure main extension from Corporate Way.
4. Bridge connection from Wicklund Living Trust Property (Tax Lot 17031540004000) over the
Maple island Slough to the Puzzle Parts Property (Tax Lot 1703100002500) to provide internal
circulation and reduce impacts to natural resource areas and to the flood plain carrying capacity.
Stormwater: Physical connections to the McKenzie River or Maple Island Slough can be made with little
or no impact on existing systems, although Maple Island Slough is currently blocked from flowing into
the McKenzie River and a flow path would need to be restored if a significant amount of runoff is
directed to the Slough. Restoring a flow path from the Slough to the River will involve several other
regulatory agencies because the work would affect threatened and endangered species habitat, a
designated Riparian Resource area, excavation in the waters of the state and waters of the United
States, and potential wetlands. New stormwater outfalls to the McKenzie River will also involve several
other regulatory agencies for the same reasons as outfalls to Maple Island Slough. Stormwater
management through the use of on-site retention and/or infiltration may not be allowable in the
southerly half of this area due to its proximity to Springfield Utility Board’s I-5 well field.
Potential Flood Plain Development Constraints:
As currently mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), all of the North Gateway
Area is within the McKenzie River’s 100-year flood plain. In 2010, FEMA entered into a settlement
agreement resulting from a lawsuit concerning Endangered Species Act requirements for threatened
and endangered salmonids in Oregon. The McKenzie River is federally classified as critical salmonid
habitat and Maple Island Slough may become federally classified as critical salmonid habitat if it is
reconnected to the River. FEMA has prepared draft National Flood Insurance Program changes that
include prohibitions against development within 170 feet of the top of bank of a mapped habitat
waterway, restrictions on amount and/or extent of fill in a flood plain, and restrictions on development
within a channel migration zone. Channel migration zones are not currently mapped for the McKenzie
River, though the National Flood Insurance Program changes may require that this mapping be done
whenever a flood plain map is updated. The draft National Flood Insurance Program changes are
Exhibit A2, Page 2 of 13
Attachment 1, Page 5 of 37
Page 3 of 13
currently under federal review and may be finalized in 2014. While we do not know what will be
included in the final changes, we do know that federal requirements for flood plain development will be
significantly more restrictive than in the past. Note, too, that the Endangered Species Act “take”
prohibition is in effect today for all lands subject to the National Flood Insurance Program.
Summary
• Wastewater: Service to this area is feasible.
• Transportation: Service to this area may be feasible, however considering that two bridges are
needed to provide service to the area, another bridge is required to provide internal circulation,
and substantial off-site traffic mitigation improvements will be required at Gateway/Beltline and
Beltline/I-5, service will be subject to significant challenges for development within the planning
horizon.
• Stormwater: Considering the multiple overlapping regulatory jurisdictions for constructing new
stormwater outfalls into the McKenzie River and/or the Maple Island Slough, and the limitations
regarding on-site stormwater management, stormwater service for this area may present
significant challenges and require atypical restrictions and limits.
• Flood Plain Development Potential: Considering that essentially all of the land in this area is in
the flood plain, development in this area is very likely subject to significant challenges and
restrictions.

N. Springfield Highway 126
Serviceability Review – April 2014
Following is a conceptual-level discussion of the wastewater, transportation, and stormwater
improvements that would likely be needed to provide these public services to the North Springfield
Highway 126 Expansion Area. This discussion is not based upon detailed analysis and is therefore
subject to change.
Offsite Improvements
Wastewater: One offsite upgrade will be needed to provide service to this area:
1. A new large wastewater pump station is required to get flow from this area into the existing 15-
inch main in High Banks Road. The location for the new large pump station is assumed to be in
the vicinity of High Banks Road and 52nd Street. The existing main should have adequate
capacity.
Transportation: Four offsite road extensions/improvements are needed to provide service to the area:
1. A new at grade intersection or interchange will be need at the intersection of Highway 126 and
52nd Street.
2. Intersection improvements for increased capacity will be needed at the intersection of Main
Street and Highway 126.
3. A new at grade intersection improvement will be needed for the intersection of 52nd Street and
High Banks Road.
4. A new at grade intersection improvement will be needed for the intersection of 58th Street and
High Banks Road.
Internal Study Area Improvements
Anticipated Improvements: In addition to Internal Roads, Wastewater and Stormwater improvements,
three major improvements are anticipated to be needed to provide internal service to the area:
1. A new small sized wastewater pump station located in the vicinity of the EWEB property (Tax Lot
1702280000304).
2. A new small sized wastewater pump station located in the vicinity of the Northwest portion of
the Geraldine property (Tax Lot 1702280000103).
3. The potential for two bridge connections over existing ditches and creeks to access the northern
portion of the study area.
Stormwater: Physical connections to Cedar Creek or the McKenzie River can be made with little or no
impact on existing stormwater systems. However, Oregon’s Three Basin Rule (OAR 340-041-0350)
restricts new stormwater outfalls and other discharges to the McKenzie River upstream of Hayden
Bridge. It is unclear whether these restrictions apply to tributaries to the River such as Cedar Creek.
Exhibit A2, Page 4 of 13
Attachment 1, Page 7 of 37
Page 5 of 13
New stormwater outfalls to Cedar Creek or to the McKenzie River will involve several other regulatory
agencies because the work would affect threatened and endangered species habitat, excavation in the
waters of the state and waters of the United States, and potential wetlands. Stormwater management
through the use of on-site retention and/or infiltration may be allowable in this area as it is outside of
the zone of contribution for Springfield Utility Board’s wells.
Potential Flood Plain Development Constraints:
As currently mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), almost all of the North
Springfield Highway 126 Area is within the McKenzie River’s 100-year flood plain. In 2010, FEMA
entered into a settlement agreement resulting from a lawsuit concerning Endangered Species Act
requirements for threatened and endangered salmonids in Oregon. The McKenzie River and Cedar
Creek are federally classified as critical salmonid habitat. FEMA has prepared draft National Flood
Insurance Program changes that include prohibitions against development within 170 feet of the top of
bank of a mapped habitat waterway, restrictions on amount and/or extent of fill in a flood plain, and
restrictions on development within a channel migration zone. Channel migration zones are not
currently mapped for the McKenzie River or Cedar Creek, though the National Flood Insurance Program
changes may require that this mapping be done whenever a flood plain map is updated. The draft
National Flood Insurance Program changes are currently under federal review and may be finalized in
2014. While we do not know what will be included in the final changes, we do know that federal
requirements for flood plain development will be significantly more restrictive than in the past. Note,
too, that the Endangered Species Act “take” prohibition is in effect today for all lands subject to the
National Flood Insurance Program.
Summary
• Wastewater: Service to this area is feasible.
• Transportation: Service to this area may be feasible, however significant improvements will be
required to the intersection at Highway 126 and 52nd Street (possible new interchange) as well
as the potential for several bridges in order to provide circulation internal to the site.
• Stormwater: Considering the multiple overlapping regulatory jurisdictions for constructing new
stormwater outfalls into the McKenzie River and/or Cedar Creek, stormwater service for this
area may be feasible if on-site stormwater management techniques that maximize stormwater
retention and infiltration are required.
• Flood Plain Development Potential: Considering that essentially all of the land in this area is in
the flood plain, development in this area is very likely subject to significant challenges and
restrictions.

South Mill Race
Serviceability Review – April 2014
Following is a conceptual-level discussion of the wastewater, transportation, and stormwater
improvements that would likely be needed to provide these public services to the South Mill Race
Expansion Area. This discussion is not based upon detailed analysis and is therefore subject to change.
Offsite Improvements
Wastewater: Two offsite upgrades/extensions will be needed to provide service to this area:
1. A new small sized wastewater pump station located near the south side of the South 28th Street
Bridge over the Mill Race.
2. A main line extension in south 28th Street from the South F Street interceptor to the new pump
station will be needed.
Transportation: Five offsite road extensions/improvements are needed to provide service to the area:
1. South 28th Street will need to be improved from Main Street southerly to the existing UGB near
the Mill Race.
2. Crossing improvements for the intersection of South 28th Street and the Union Pacific Railroad
will be needed.
3. Upgrades to the existing South 28th Street bridge at the Mill Race will be required due to weight
limit restrictions.
4. Intersection improvements will be needed at the intersection of Main Street and South 28th
Street.
5. A secondary access will be needed, however the feasibility is in question due to the Agnes Stuart
Middle School complex possibly resulting in the need to bridge over the Mill Race and Jasper
Slough to a connection point near the intersection of Jasper Road and South 32nd Street.
Internal Study Area Improvements
Anticipated Improvements: There are no major improvements anticipated to meet the internal
transportation, storm or wastewater needs to serve this area.
Stormwater: Physical connections to the Springfield Mill Race, Gory Creek or Quarry Creek can be made
with little or no impact on existing systems, although the flow capacity of the two creeks would likely
need to be increased before additional runoff could be directed to them. New stormwater outfalls to
any of these three receiving waters will involve several other regulatory agencies because the work
would affect threatened and endangered species habitat, a designated Riparian Resource area,
excavation in the waters of the state and waters of the United States, and potential wetlands. New
stormwater outfalls to the Springfield Mill Race are also regulated by an intergovernmental agreement
with the US Army Corps of Engineers as part of the Mill Race enhancement project. Stormwater
management through the use of on-site retention and/or infiltration would likely not be allowed in this
area due to its proximity to Springfield Utility Board’s Willamette well field.

Potential Flood Plain Development Constraints:
As currently mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), much of the South Mill
Race Area is outside of the Middle Fork Willamette River’s 100-year flood plain, although new flood
plain study is currently underway by FEMA and the US Army Corps of Engineers and may be finalized in
2014 or 2015. In 2010, FEMA entered into a settlement agreement resulting from a lawsuit concerning
Endangered Species Act requirements for threatened and endangered salmonids in Oregon. The Middle
Fork Willamette River is federally classified as critical salmonid habitat and the Springfield Mill Race
enhancement project was performed to provide additional salmonid habitat. FEMA has prepared draft
National Flood Insurance Program changes that include prohibitions against development within 170
feet of the top of bank of a mapped habitat waterway, restrictions on amount and/or extent of fill in a
flood plain, and restrictions on development within a channel migration zone. Channel migration zones
are not currently mapped for the Middle Fork Willamette River or Springfield Mill Race, though the
National Flood Insurance Program changes may require that this mapping be done whenever a flood
plain map is updated. The draft National Flood Insurance Program changes are currently under federal
review and may be finalized in 2014. While we do not know what will be included in the final changes,
we do know that federal requirements for flood plain development will be significantly more restrictive
than in the past. Note, too, that the Endangered Species Act “take” prohibition is in effect today for all
lands subject to the National Flood Insurance Program.
Summary
• Wastewater: Service to this area is feasible.
• Transportation: Service to this area may be feasible; however providing service will have
significant challenges due to the need for secondary access. This access would likely require
constructing a bridge over Mill Race and Jasper Slough to a connection point near the
intersection of Jasper Road and South 32nd Street.
• Stormwater: Although the extent of the flood plain is limited, service to this area may require
atypical restrictions and present significant challenges considering the multiple overlapping
regulatory jurisdictions for constructing new stormwater outfalls into the Springfield Mill Race,
Gory Creek or Quarry Creek, and the limitations regarding on-site stormwater management.
• Flood Plain Development Potential: Considering that FEMA is preparing new flood plain
mapping for the Middle Fork Willamette River, development in this area may present significant
challenges.

Seavey Loop
Serviceability Review – April 2014
Following is a conceptual-level discussion of the wastewater, transportation, and stormwater
improvements that would likely be needed to provide these public services to the Seavey Loop
Expansion Area. This discussion is not based upon detailed analysis and is therefore subject to change.
Offsite Improvements
Wastewater: Three offsite upgrades/extensions will be needed to provide service to this area:
1. Upgrades to the existing MWMC Glenwood pump station will be needed.
2. A new large sized wastewater pump station located near the intersection of Seavey Loop and
Franklin Boulevard will be needed.
3. A pressure main extension will be needed from the new pump station at Seavey Loop and
Franklin Boulevard to Franklin/McVay Trunk Sewer project (completed 2015).
Transportation: Three offsite road extensions/improvements are needed to provide service to the area:
1. An Extension of 30th Avenue as a grade separated to the intersection with Franklin Boulevard
and Seavey loop near the southeast corner of the EPUD property (Tax Lot 1803113003803). This
excludes I-5 interchange improvements or upgrades.
2. Intersection improvements will be needed at Seavey Loop and Highway 58.
3. The north end of Seavey Loop will need to be reconfigured to terminate South of Franklin
Boulevard (North of EPUD).
Internal Study Area Improvements
Anticipated Improvements: In addition to Internal Roads, Wastewater and Stormwater improvements,
five major improvements are anticipated to be needed to provide internal service to the area:
1. A new small sized wastewater pump station located near the intersection of 30th Avenue and
College View Road.
2. A new wastewater gravity/pressure main extension will be needed from the new pump station
at 30th Avenue and College View Road to the new pump station at the intersection of Seavey
Loop and Franklin Boulevard, also including a gravity main extension along College View Road
southerly ending near the intersection with Franklin Boulevard in order to serve existing
properties.
3. A new small sized wastewater pump station located near the intersection of Franklin Boulevard
and Twin Buttes Road.
4. A new small sized wastewater pump station located in the vicinity south of Seavey Loop Road
near the West property line of the Strother property (Tax Lot 1803141000305).
5. A new small sized wastewater pump station located near the center of the Straub Family Trust
property (Tax Lot 1803141000300).

Stormwater: Physical connections to Oxley Slough and/or the Coast Fork Willamette River can be made
with little or no impact on existing stormwater systems, although the connection locations may need to
be outside of the proposed expansion area. New stormwater outfalls to these receiving waters will
involve several other regulatory agencies because the work would affect riparian areas, excavation in
the waters of the state and waters of the United States, and potential wetlands. Stormwater
management through the use of on-site retention and/or infiltration may be allowable in this area as it
is outside of the zone of contribution for Springfield Utility Board’s wells and no other wellhead
protection zones have been identified to our knowledge.
Potential Flood Plain Development Constraints:
As currently mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the westerly and
southerly portions of the Seavey Loop Area are outside of the Coast Fork Willamette River’s 100-year
flood plain, although a new flood plain study is currently underway by FEMA and the US Army Corps of
Engineers and may be finalized in 2014 or 2015. In 2010, FEMA entered into a settlement agreement
resulting from a lawsuit concerning Endangered Species Act requirements for threatened and
endangered salmonids in Oregon. While the Coast Fork Willamette River is not federally classified as
critical salmonid habitat, the State has designated the Coast Fork Willamette River as essential salmonid
habitat. FEMA has prepared draft National Flood Insurance Program changes that include prohibitions
against development within 170 feet of the top of bank of a mapped habitat waterway, restrictions on
amount and/or extent of fill in a flood plain, and restrictions on development within a channel
migration zone. Channel migration zones are not currently mapped for the Coast Fork Willamette River
or Oxley Slough, though the National Flood Insurance Program changes may require that this mapping
be done whenever a flood plain map is updated. The draft National Flood Insurance Program changes
are currently under federal review and may be finalized in 2014. While we do not know what will be
included in the final changes, we do know that federal requirements for flood plain development will be
significantly more restrictive than in the past. Note, too, that the Endangered Species Act “take”
prohibition is in effect today for all lands subject to the National Flood Insurance Program. It is not
known at this time if the State will apply the final National Flood Insurance Program changes to
waterways that it has designated as “essential” salmonid habitat when the federal government did not
designate that waterway as “critical” salmonid habitat, as is the case with the Coast Fork Willamette
River.
Summary
• Wastewater: Wastewater Service to this area may be feasible, however given its removed
location from the rest of Springfield, and the number of new pump stations that will likely be
needed to provide service, there will be long-term operational costs associated with providing
this service.
• Transportation: Service to this area may be feasible, however there are expected to be some
challenges surrounding the 30th Avenue extension and potential for interchange improvements
at Interstate 5.
• Stormwater: Considering the multiple overlapping regulatory jurisdictions for constructing new
stormwater outfalls into the Coast Fork Willamette River and/or Oxley Slough, stormwater
Exhibit A2, Page 9 of 13
Attachment 1, Page 12 of 37
Page 10 of 13
service for this area may be feasible if on-site stormwater management techniques that
maximize stormwater retention and infiltration are required.
• Flood Plain Development Potential: Considering that the Coast Fork Willamette River is not
federally designated as critical salmonid habitat, flood plain development in this area is likely
feasible.

Mahogany Lane
Serviceability Review – April 2014
Following is a conceptual-level discussion of the wastewater, transportation, and stormwater
improvements that would likely be needed to provide these public services to the Mahogany Lane
Expansion Area. This discussion is not based upon detailed analysis and is therefore subject to change.
Offsite Improvements
Wastewater: One offsite upgrade will be needed to provide service to this area:
1. A large wastewater pump station will be need at the intersection of Mt. Vernon Road and Jasper
Road on the north side of the Union Pacific Railroad mainline to get flows from Mahogany Lane
area into the Jasper Trunk Sewer. Capacity in this Trunk Sewer is not expected to be a concern
because flow timing and rates can be managed via the pump station.
Transportation: Eight offsite road extensions/improvements are needed to provide service to the area:
1. Intersection improvements will be needed at Jasper Road and Mt. Vernon Road, which will
include improvements to the Union Pacific Railroad crossing and a new traffic signal.
2. Improvements to Mt. Vernon Road from Jasper Road to South 57th Street will be required for
additional capacity.
3. Intersection improvements will be needed at Bob Straub Parkway and Mt. Vernon Road, which
will include a new traffic signal.
4. Intersection improvements will be needed at Bob Straub Parkway and Jasper Road, which will
include a new traffic signal.
5. A new road connection from Bob Straub Parkway to Jasper Road will be needed in the vicinity of
the Webb property (Tax Lot 1802090000103), which will include a new grade separated crossing

6. Improvement of the entire length of Jasper Road to urban standards and upgrade to 4 lanes to
Main Street via South 42nd Street, including Union Pacific mainline crossing upgrades on South
42nd Street and intersection upgrades along the length of the entire corridor.
7. Improvements to Bob Straub Parkway from Jasper Road to Daisy Street, upgrading to 4 lanes.
8. Intersection improvements will be needed at Bob Straub Parkway and Daisy Street.
Internal Study Area Improvements
Anticipated Improvements: In addition to Internal Roads, Wastewater and Stormwater improvements,
five major improvements are anticipated to be needed to provide internal service to the area:
1. A new small sized wastewater pump station will likely be needed located near the southerly end
of the Ireta Whiteaker property (Tax Lot 1802090000600).
2. A new small sized wastewater pump station will likely be needed located near the easterly side
of the McDougal Bros Investments Property (Tax Lot 1802090000200)
3. It is anticipated one or two additional small pump stations may be needed to serve some
portions of the area depending upon future development configuration and topography.
Exhibit A2, Page 11 of 13
Attachment 1, Page 14 of 37
Page 12 of 13
4. Improvements to the existing Mahogany Lane will be needed for additional capacity.
5. The potential for two bridge connections over flood plain designated sloughs to facilitate
internal circulation.
Stormwater: Physical connections to the Middle Fork Willamette River and Jasper Slough system can be
made with little or no impact on existing stormwater systems, although the flow capacity of portions of
Jasper Slough system would likely need to be increased before additional runoff could be directed to it.
In addition, few if any of the intermittent flow channels of the Jasper Slough system are maintained as
drainage ways. Development of the area will require public acquisition and improvement of at least
some of these channels to ensure that stormwater runoff can be safely conveyed to the River. New
stormwater outfalls will involve several other regulatory agencies because the work would affect
threatened and endangered species habitat, excavation in the waters of the state and waters of the
United States, and potential wetlands. Stormwater management through the use of on-site retention
and/or infiltration would likely not be allowed in the northerly portion of this area due to its proximity to
Springfield Utility Board’s Willamette well field.
Potential Flood Plain Development Constraints:
As currently mapped by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), much of the Mahogany
Lane Area is outside of the Middle Fork Willamette River’s 100-year flood plain, although new a flood
plain study is currently underway by FEMA and the US Army Corps of Engineers and may be finalized in
2014 or 2015. In 2010, FEMA entered into a settlement agreement resulting from a lawsuit concerning
Endangered Species Act requirements for threatened and endangered salmonids in Oregon. The Middle
Fork Willamette River and Jasper Slough system are federally classified as critical salmonid habitat.
FEMA has prepared draft National Flood Insurance Program changes that include prohibitions against
development within 170 feet of the top of bank of a mapped habitat waterway, restrictions on amount
and/or extent of fill in a flood plain, and restrictions on development within a channel migration zone.
Channel migration zones are not currently mapped for the Middle Fork Willamette River or the Jasper
Slough system, though the National Flood Insurance Program changes may require that this mapping be
done whenever a flood plain map is updated. The draft National Flood Insurance Program changes are
currently under federal review and may be finalized in 2014. While we do not know what will be
included in the final changes, we do know that federal requirements for flood plain development will be
significantly more restrictive than in the past. Note, too, that the Endangered Species Act “take”
prohibition is in effect today for all lands subject to the National Flood Insurance Program.
Summary
• Wastewater: Wastewater service is probably feasible.
• Transportation: Service to this area may be feasible, however depending on the initial
development pattern the required improvements up front to provide service to the area will
present significant challenges not only in the length of improvements, but also the multiple at
grade railroad crossings that will likely be needed along Jasper Road. In addition, Jasper Road
will likely need to be upgraded to provide capacity for employment development.
Exhibit A2, Page 12 of 13
Attachment 1, Page 15 of 37
Page 13 of 13
• Stormwater: Considering the multiple overlapping regulatory jurisdictions for constructing new
stormwater outfalls into the Middle Fork Willamette River and/or Jasper Slough system,
stormwater service for this area may be feasible if the primary intermittent flow channels are
brought under public control.
• Flood Plain Development Potential: Considering that much of this Area is outside of the Middle
Fork Willamette River flood plain, development of the Area is likely feasible if development in
the flood plain itself is significantly restricted.

North Gateway Study Area
ODOT Transportation
“ODOT’s primary comment for this study area relates to protecting the recent
investment at the I-5/Beltline Interchange, which is undergoing significant
improvements to address safety and operations. Future 2035 analysis, within the
existing UGB and completed as part of the ongoing Eugene and Springfield TSP
Update, illustrates that operations at the interchange will begin to experience
congestion along mainline I-5 and at several ramp locations. To manage the
interchange area, we will continue to look at strategies identified in the adopted
Interchange Area Management Plan and Environmental Assessment. These
documents developed the framework to address capacity and safety at the
interchange and continue to apply today. If the City chooses this study area for
expansion, we would work with the City to update the Interchange Area
Management Plan to address future management and operation of the interchange,
this includes, but is not limited to:
· Updating operational analysis (traffic analysis – safety and operation)
· Policies and strategies to protect the longevity of the interchange (traffic demand management, traffic system management)
· Management strategies for traffic growth (trip budgets, land use strategies)”
LTD Transit
Currently, EmX service is available on International Way.
“Large employer could trigger transit extension depending on % of overall
ridership, may need to add vehicles.”
“If only south segment of this study area were to be considered, it would make
the need for a more southerly connection from Eugene even more essential
for effective transit service provision. Easier to serve with better connections
from Eugene side of I-5*.
Public safety
“Difficult to respond out at Gateway due to traffic, but lots of staff already in the
area.” (Lewis, 8-19-13)
Exhibit B1, Page 1 of 9
Attachment 1, Page 22 of 37
Fire and Life Safety
Area can be served if street connectivity is well-designed – if a direct road network
connecting from International, Maple Island or Sportsway is built. Actual travel time study will be necessary to verify modeling of response times. If access is only provided
via N. Game Farm/Armitage/Sprague Rds then response time requirements will not be met resulting in the need for a new fire station to meet response times at the urban
service level.
Water
Served by Rainbow Water District. Relies solely upon groundwater to meet customers’
needs. Majority of wells are near the McKenzie River at the north edge of the UGB.
Serves County customers, utilizing water from 10 wells (3 co-owned by SUB) to serve
2,400 homes between Springfield UGB and City Limits. Sells water to SUB to indirectly
serve around the same # of customers. SUB would bring service up from International
Way, Gateway. SUB negotiating with EWEB re wells. Ex 12” line up Sportsway to Royal
Caribbean; ex. 24” line to end of Corporate Way.
NOTE for all SUB areas: SUB 20 year Master Plan for its service area will provide 3500

North Springfield Highway 126/N. 52nd Street Study Area
ODOT Transportation
Area is primarily accessed by the OR126/52nd intersection and is currently signalized.
Over the past decade, ODOT and the City have worked on various elements of an Expressway Management Plan to identify improvements along the OR126 Expressway.
While not adopted, previous analysis indicates this intersection as exceeding capacity through 2031.Improvements at this location could be identified through a TSP update
and/or through a facility plan (i.e. Expressway Management Plan). Potential improvements, identified in past analyses, could include:
· At-grade intersection improvements – Signalized intersection with upgraded
and expanded infrastructure. Previous operational analysis indicate that an
expanded intersection would just meet ODOT’s mobility target, under existing
land use scenarios.
· Interchange – Grade separated interchange and improvements to High Banks
road. Previous analysis indicate that an interchange may be needed in the
future and would have excess capacity.
· This analysis did not include the potential UGB expansion area, so further
analysis would be necessary to identify full improvement need with traffic
growth.
Development would have to help fund IAMP w public/private partrnership; lots of
capacity within existing UGB so not a priority to build interchange.

Public safety
Worst access of 5 areas for Police Dept. Secluded, no routine patrols, would be a big
burden on personnel resources due to remoteness, response times.
Fire and Life Safety
“Area cannot be served at the urban level. Area is outside both initial and secondary
current response capability of the fire department. In order to serve this area a fire
station would need to be constructed and staffed. Even with an additional station the
delayed response for secondary units necessary to establish an effective fire fighting
force would not allow this area to receive the fire department level of service. In order
to meet the urban level of service a creative solution would be necessary with Goshen
Fire District (the current Fire Protection Provider for the area).”

Mahogany-South Jasper Study Area
ODOT Transportation
Served by several local roadways; impacts to the OR126/Main Street intersection
should be considered. Over the past decade, ODOT and the City have worked on an Expressway Management Plan to identify improvements along the OR126 Expressway,
which includes the OR126/Main Street intersection. While not adopted, previous analysis indicate that the OR126/Main Street (OR126B), Main Street/54th Street, and
Main Street/58th Street all exceed capacity by 2031.
Improvements at this location could be identified through a TSP update and/or
through a facility plan (i.e. Expressway Management Plan). Potential improvements, identified in past analyses, could include:
· OR126/Main Street at-grade intersection improvements – Signalized intersection with upgraded and expanded infrastructure. While this could be a short term
improvement, operational analysis has shown that even with significant at-grade improvements, this intersection will still exceed capacity.
· Interchange – Grade separated interchange and improvements to 54th and
58th Street. Operational analysis shows the need for a separated interchange
at this location. With various forms of interchange designs, operations either just
meet, or exceed, ODOT mobility targets, indicating heavy future traffic volumes.
Under either scenario, the Main Street/58 intersection continues to exceed
capacity and will experience significant delays. This analysis did not include the
potential UGB expansion area, so further analysis would be necessary to identify
full improvement need with traffic growth.
LTD Transit
A Frequent Transit Network (FTN) route is envisioned in LTD’s future plans if the
Jasper/Natron site is sufficiently developed and becomes a vibrant node. In that case,
this area becomes even more attractive, especially the eastern portion.
Public safety
Access via 42nd or Straub Parkway, wide open, easy response time. (Lewis 8-19-13) Fire and Life Safety
Area can be served at the urban level of service: response time can be partially met

from Station 14 and 16 – if area is limited and street network is well-designed for
response time requirements from existing stations. Response time is dependent on street network but may require a 6th station – actual travel time study will be necessary
to verify modeling of response times.
Water
Drinking Water Source Area; includes 1-5 yr TOTZ; located just upstream of SUB’s intake;
travel time of any contamination that reaches the river , wither through stormwater discharge or spills directly to river, has a travel time of less than one hour to SUB’s
intake. 24” water line to be constructed in 2013 to SW corner of school district property; will extend 24” line south; the 16” line from Westwind Estates/Linda Lane is a looped
system. It is feasible to bore under railroad and Jasper Road to serve south side of Jasper Road.
NOTE for all SUB areas: SUB 20 year Master Plan for its service area will provide 3500
gpm fire flows throughout the system when planned system is built out, most of this is in
the 10-year plan.
Electricity/Fiber Network
Served by EPUD. EPUD is planning a substation in the area; has capacity and strong,
hardened infrastructure; user rates support growth. BPA transmission lines cross the
area; potential capacity to serve high elec. user industry.
SUB provides electricity north of Mt. Vernon (Mt. Vernon Substation); Excellent fiber
network in vicinity.
Willamalane Parks & Recreation
Jasper Meadows Park accessible from Straub Parkway; Far from Park Services Center,
Community Recreation Center, and existing parks; Poor access.

SUBJECT: Serviceability Review for Potential Urban Growth Boundary Expansion Areas
Last summer, Fire Marshal Al Gerard invited DPW staff Pauly (along with Eugene staff Hansen)
to present information to the battalion chiefs about Springfield’s 2030 Plan and Urban Growth
Boundary Study and Envision Eugene. Staff requested information from the Department to compare the five study areas being considered by the Springfield City Council for potential
expansion of the Springfield UGB. The Department’s comments were forwarded to staff Pauly.
Results of the Department’s review are summarized by Expansion Area and attached to this
memorandum for your use.
In addition to the comments for each Expansion Area, staff prepared a conceptual-level cost
estimate to constructing and staff a new fire station. This information will assist the Council as
they consider potential costs of serving new areas included in the UGB. Please note that these
cost estimates are not intended to be used for budgeting purposes. Rather, they are intended to
provide a means of comparing the relative cost to provide services for each Expansion Area. The actual costs to provide services will certainly be different than these conceptual-level
estimates.
If the City expands its urban growth boundary and eventually brings one or more of these
additional study areas inside the City boundaries there will anticipated impacts upon the service delivery capabilities of the Fire and Life Safety department. The degree of impact that any of
these expansions and eventual annexations may have on the City will be unique to each of the 5
different study areas. One significant factor that is common to all the study areas in considering
service impacts is that as a product of the Commercial Industrial Buildable Lands Study the
absence of any residential zoning for these areas will greatly reduce the volume of expected service calls within the study areas.
With the exception of 1 of the 5 study areas, each is located on the edges of the existing areas to
be served by the police and fire departments. In addition to just the increase in area size, the
additional travel or response times to reach each of the study areas is noted and is a major contributing factor in looking at the service impacts.
In some cases when the City adds additional land to be included within its city limits, the Fire &
Life Safety Department (F&LS) already serves these areas through existing service contracts
Exhibit B2, Page 1 of 3
Attachment 1, Page 31 of 37
with 3 special service districts. In these cases, by expanding the UGB, these areas are all
primarily outside the existing areas of service and capacity adding changes may be necessary to
serve these areas. Examples would be:
• May be able to provide service to a particular area without the addition of another fire
station or crew while being able to maintain current response times (e.g. South Mill Race)
• May require the relocation of a current station to a more central location for serving the newly added area. Cost would be the purchase of land and construction of a new station
but existing personnel could be used for the station staffing ( e.g Mahogany Lane).
• May require the construction of an additional station for the City and the hiring of additional personnel for staffing the new station. In this case, the existing 5 stations
would most likely not be able to address the needs to the new area while maintaining
appropriate response times in other parts of the community (e.g. Seavey Loop).
• It should be noted that any significant changes in station location or a particular area’s volume of calls could require a full staffing study for the entire community as far as the
number of appropriate engine companies and medic units that are placed in each of the
stations to meet response time requirements in all parts of the City.
Additional Costs for Fire Services Scenarios
Construction of a new Fire Station $3.5M (not including land, today’s costs)
Debt Service- Annual Amortization Cost $450K)
Staffing 1 Additional Engine Crew $1.37M (annual cost for 11 FTE)
Staffing 1 Additional Engine Crew
And 1 Medic Unit $2.2M (annual cost for 18 FTE)
Additional Equipment, Training & OT $218K annually (18 FTE)
1 Pumper Truck for Additional Station $500K (5 to 8 years life)
1 Medic Unit for Additional Station $200K (5 to 8 years life)
Additional Fuel, Station Maintenance TBD
In addition to the potential UGB expansion, as Springfield continues to experience densification
within its existing boundaries, the need for a dedicated ladder truck company also exists. Currently, Springfield provides its truck company service with a single crew and apparatus that
serves as both a ladder truck and first response fire suppression company. As densification
continues and larger and taller structures are built, the need for a dedicated ladder truck
increases. In comparison, Eugene staffs two truck companies which are each co-located with a
Exhibit B2, Page 2 of 3

fire engine company. Firefighters assigned to truck companies perform very different work than
firefighters assigned to an engine company.

SUBJECT: Serviceability Review for Potential Urban Growth Boundary Expansion Areas
On August 19, 2013, Captain Rick Lewis met with DPW staff Pauly to review information about
Springfield’s 2030 Plan and Urban Growth Boundary Study. Staff requested information from
the Department to compare the five study areas being considered by the Springfield City Council for potential expansion of the Springfield UGB. Captain Lewis’ comments on serving each area
are summarized in the UGB Serviceability Analysis (ATT2).
In addition to the comments for each Expansion Area, the Department was also asked to provide
a conceptual-level cost estimate to estimate the probable cost of providing policing to new areas. This information will assist the Council as they consider potential costs of serving new areas
included in the UGB. Please note that these cost estimates are not intended to be used for
budgeting purposes. Rather, they are intended to provide a means of comparing the relative cost
to provide services for each Expansion Area. The actual costs to provide services will certainly
be different than these conceptual-level estimates.
If the City expands its urban growth boundary and eventually brings one or more of these
additional study areas inside the City boundaries there will anticipated impacts upon the service
delivery capabilities of the City’s Police department. The degree of impact that any of these
expansions and eventual annexations may have on the City will be unique to each of the 5 different study areas. One significant factor that is common to all the study areas in considering
service impacts is that as a product of the Commercial Industrial Buildable Lands Study the
absence of any residential zoning for these areas will greatly reduce the volume of expected
service calls within the study areas.
With the exception of 1 of the 5 study areas, each is located on the edges of the existing areas to
be served by the police and fire departments. In addition to just the increase in area size, the
additional travel or response times to reach each of the study areas is noted and is a major
contributing factor in looking at the service impacts.
Police would most likely serve the additional study areas by increasing the number of officers
that would be available to respond to calls at any given time. With these outer edge expansion
areas the effort to respond to calls in these areas without increasing the patrol numbers would
decrease response times throughout the City. The addition of a sub-station could be considered
Exhibit B4, Page 1 of 2
Attachment 1, Page 36 of 37
but the assumption at this time would be that all officers would be working out the main
headquarters. It is also assumed that as industrial/light industrial job centers these expansion
areas would not be high volume call areas and not require the addition of support staff within the
department.
Additional Costs for Police Services Scenarios
1 Additional Police Officer per Shift $750K (1 Additional Officer per Shift 24 X 7 requires 6 FTE)
Additional Equipment, Training & OT $72K annually (6 FTE)
Police Car $28K (3 to 5 year life)
