The Springfield Utility Board (SUB) serves this area. Contact Ken Cerotsky (746-8451) if there are any questions.
There is water service to the existing building. On the plan submitted, there is a backflow prevention device located
on the east side of the building outside of the 15 foot-wide vision triangle standard for driveways specified in SDC
32.070. Please refer to the original letter prepared by Mr. Cerotsky dated September 25, 1997.
Finding:
Because water service can be provided to serve the proposed building, this application, as conditioned, complies
with this portion of criterion (2).
Condition:
Compliance with all items listed in the letter prepared by Mr. Cerotsky dated September 25, 1997. Please respond in
writing.
Electricitv
SDC 32.120(2) states: "Whenever possible, all utility lines shall be placed underground...."
This area is served by SUB. Contact Ed Head (746-8451) for additional information. Electricity is available to serve
the proposed building from a pole 110 feet east of the southwest comer of the property.
Finding:
Because electric service can be provided to serve the proposed new building, this application complies with this
portion of criterion (2).
S.nit.rv Sewer
SDC 32.100(1) states: "...s.nitary sewers sh.1I be installed to serve e.ch new development .nd to connect
developments to new m.ins. Install.tion of sanitary sewers sh.1I comply with the provisions of this code, the
Stand.rd Construction Specifications, Ch.pter 2 of the City Code, .nd Dep.rtment of Environmental
Qu.lity (DEQ) regul.tions...."
Sanitary sewer service for the site is shown as . connection to the existing 8" public sanitary sewer .Iong the north
property line. The applicant's statement includes a comment that an oiVwater separator will be installed on the
sanitary sewer line in case of fluid spills in the proposed building. More specific inform.tion is required as to the
location of this oiVwater separator. The location of this device must be shown on the Fin.I.Site Plan. Contact Ken
Vogeney of the City's Engineering Division (726-3688) and Lome Pleger of the Building Division (726-3669).
Finding:
Because the existing public sanitary sewer can be provided to serve this property, as conditioned, this application
complies with this portion of criterion (2).
Condition:

Storm Drainap~
SDC 32.100(1) states: "The Approval Authority shall grant development approval only where adequate
provisions for storm and flood water run-off to the City's storm drainage system have been made as
determined by the City Engineer. The storm water system shall be separated from any sanitary sewer
system...."
Drainage management of the site is inadequate as shown on the plan submitted. There are insufficient surface
grades and details to analyze the flow of surface water through the site. It appears that all of the drainage from this
site is intended to flow through the Grocery Cart site. The applicant must provide a drainage area plan and
calculations to demonstrate that the existing private drainage system can handle the increased flow. Show drainage
details - pipe size, location, catch -basins, etc.
No storm water quality measures are shown on the plan submitted. Since the new building and paving will add
more than 5,000 square feet of impervious area, and considering the type of use, storm water quality measures must
be established. These measures must include an oil-absorbent filtering system at each on-site catch basin that
receives surface flow from the proposed use. Contact Ken Vogeney of the City's Engineering Division (726-3688).
Finding:
Because the existing public storm sewer can be provided to serve this property, as conditioned, this application
complies with this portion of criterion (2).
Conditions:
Show the following information on the Final Site Plan:
A drainage area plan and calculations to show:
I. Submit a written statement explaining how the existing private drainage system will handle the increased flow
caused by the proposed use.
2. Drainage details - elevations, pipe size, connections, catch basins to include a detail of the existing multi-
chamber type.
3. Include the joint storm drainage in the joint use access/maintenance agreements as required elsewhere in this
report.
4. OiVwater separator catch basins and other drainage systems must be checked and cleaned to remove pollutants
as needed (at least once a year, usually in September). All waste material must be disposed of in a lawful
manner. The owner/developer must document the maintenance activities at the site for the City to inspect and
review.
Public Utilitv Easements
SDC 32.120(5) states: "An applicant proposing a development shall make arrangements with the City and
each utility provider for the dedication of utility easements necessary to fully service the development. The
standard width for public utility easements adjacent to street rights-of-way shall be 7 feet. The minimum
width for all other public utility easements shall be 10 feet unless otherwise specified by the utility provider of
the City Engineer...."
SDC 34.070(2) gives staff authority to require public utility easements as a condition of approval of this request.
.,
.
.
Page 5
97-02-048
No additional public utility easements are required since there are existing 7 foot-wide perimeter public utility
easements on Tax Lot 2703. The plan submitted shows a trash enclosure within the easement. The only above
ground structure that is permitted within an easement is a fence. Therefore, the proposed trash enclosure area
building must either be moved behind the easement or, if the easement is not being utilized by any utility, the
applicant may apply for the vacation of the easement. The fee for the easement vacation is $415.00, plus $100.00
for notice. The vacation application processing time is at least 90 days.
In addition, upon review of the Grocery Cart Site Plan file (Jo. No. 93-06-97), staff required an irrevocable joint use
ingress-egress/maintenance agreement as a condition of approval of that application for the shared driveway for Tax
Lots 2702 and 2703 along the frontage of Game Farm Road South. Upon review of that file, the document was not
found. In addition, vehicles will be using the Harlow Road driveway for both businesses. An irrevocable joint use
ingress-egress/maintenance agreement is also required for this driveway.
Finding:
Because there is a need to serve both parcels with right of entry/exit and various utilities, easements, both public and
private are required. This application, as conditioned, complies with this portion of criterion (2).
Conditions:
Show the following information on the Final Site plan:
I. All existing easements. public and private.
2. Either move the trash enclosure area behind the 7 foot-wide utility easement or vacate the easement, if there are
no utilities within the easement.

Dear Gary:
SUBJECT:
SITE PLAN REVIEW TYPE II, #97-02-048, McCABE INVESTMENTS, 17-03-22-00
TL 2703, NW CORNER OF HARLOW ROAD AND GAME FARM ROAD
Listed below are our comments for the above referenced development proposal:
1. The proposed development is within the Springfield city limits and will receive water service
from the Springfield Utility Board.
2. Please ask the developer to contact the SUB Water Department for detailed information on the
materials and construction standards, detailed costs for installing SUB water facilities, and a
schedule of construction. Construction expenses may be reduced with good planning of required
water facilities, good timing offacilities installation, and joint trench opportunities. Water
development charges are $1,757.00 for a I n service. Pavement and sidewalk repair costs will be
in addition to development charges. We suggest the developer use the existing crossing on Game
Farm, saving several thousand dollars on repair costs.
3. All water meters will be placed in public right-of-way at a location identified by the developer.
Each lot or parcel must have its own water service.
4. Water service facilities will be installed upon collection of development charges. Development
policies and charges identified in this letter are subject to change. Actual chsrgeswill be those in
effect at the time water service is requested.
5. Springfield has several wellhead protection areas. One hundred percent of Springfield's drinking
water comes from wells. In every instance, care shall be taken to prevent groundwater
contamination. Contractors/developers/owners shall be responsible for the safe handling and
storage of chemicals, petroleum products, fertilizers and the prevention of groundwater and storm
water runoff contamination.
Special requirements may be necessary for groundwater protection at this development. Contact
Chuck Davis at Springfield Utility Board Water Engineering Department for details at 746-8451,
