,nclude a 1000-1500 seat grandstand, paved fire/emergency access lane with turn-around and
hydrant, and mod,ficatlons to a fence The proposed use was previously reviewed and approved
as a Discretionary Use under Planning Journal Number 2002-09-0290 The prevIous decls,on
was conditioned to reqUire Site Plan approval for each phase of development The proposed
mod,ficat,ons Will allow construction of Improvements which were shown In the eXisting site
plan
SITE INFORMATION The property IS zoned and deSignated PLO according to the City
ZOning Map and Metro Plan The s,te abuts 58" Street along Its western boundary and A Street
along ItS southern boundary Land to the north, east and west of the sublect property IS zoned
Low DenSity Residential (LDR), and land to the south 's zoned Community Commercial (CC),
General Office (GO), Medium DenSity Residential (MDR) and Low DenSity Resldent,al (LDR)
The subject property IS currently developed with Thurston High School and assoCiated athletic
fields
WRITTEN COMMENTS Applications for Limited Land Use DecIsions reqUire the
not,ficatlon of property owners/occupants within 300 feet of the subject property allOWing for a
14 day comment period on the application (SDC Sections 3 080 and 14030) The applicant and
parties submitting written comments dUring the notice period have appeal rights and are mailed
a copy of thiS deCISion for conSideration (see Appeals at the end of th,s dec,slon )
In accordance with SDC 3 OBO and 14030, notice was sent to owner/occupants w,thln 300 feet
of the sublect site on May 22, 2007 The follOWing comments were received In response to the
Notice
Mr Ken Clough, mailing address 5729 MaIO Street, Sprmgfield 97478 resides at 204
60" Place next to the eXisting pedestrian access to the school property at the end of 60"
Place Mr Clough stated that he supports the high school activIties but was concerned
about the lack of controlled access to the site from 60'" Place He stated that the fence was
old and ,n disrepair and that he has observed motorcycles and b,cycles accessing the school
property through the opening In the fence
Staff Response Planning and T ranspoCtatlon staff VISited the site to ascertain whether fence
repair, closure and/or Installat,on of a bollard would be appropriate In thiS location The fence
appeared to be In satisfactory condition and does limit access to a narrow pedestrian scale
opening Staff found that the eXisting access across the field allows students to get to school
without uSing Main Street and thus closure of thiS access would comprom,se the public safety of
young people, teachers and employees walking to school Illegal activities such as off-road
motorcycle use can be reported to the Police Department
Mr George Moms, mailing address 6112 MaIO Street, #4, Sprmgfield 97478 reSides
across the fence from the south end of the school fields He stated that he IS In favor of the
proposed grandstand (bleachers) but does not want A Street extended He noted that
nOIsy activity has occurred after 1230 am that brought the police and that the lights had
been left on all n,ght He stated that the public should not be responsible for nOise control
that late at night and for the expense of lighting left on all night
Staff Response The Springfield Planning CommiSSion reViewed the proposed Discretionary
Use at a public hearing held January 7, 2003 Staff reViewed the meeting minutes, wh,ch Include
a summary of the d,scusslon of nOise and lighting ,ssues Approval of the use was cond,tloned to
limit light levels near reSidential property lines and the cessation of field lighting one hour after
Site Plan Mod/ficatJOn

the game or event In their deliberations, Comm,ssloners noted that hours of events vaned to
the extent that specific lighting "curfews" would not be practical and could comprom,se public
safety
The proposed development does not Include extension of A Street, nor does th,s dec,slon
reqUire It A future extenSion of A Street from the northern terminus of 60'" Place proceeding
eastward IS shown on the City of Spnngfield Conceptual Street Plan At this time, the City has
no programmed project or Immediate plan to extend the street
BUild-out of the applicant's proposal will Increase levels of act,v,ty at the site as more games and
events are held on-SIte Increased act,vlty may deter unauthonzed actiVIties at the s,te
However, staff finds that given the nature of a high school as an Important meeting place for
community youth, It can be expected that from time to time excesses will occur that require
the type of police act,on Identified by Mr MOrris

Frndrng The proposed use was previously approved as a Discretionary Use In ac<:ordance
With the Spnngfield Development Code and Discretionary Use Site Plan (Planning Journal
Number 2002,09-0290) as allowed under SDC 23 020 (2)(m) Sports Complexes and Stad,ums
Unless otherwise noted, the Site Plan Modification 's consistent With the previously approved

Frndrng, Sheet A3 of the subject application depiCts the applicant's proposal to Install nOise
control panels at the south end of the grandstand The appl,cat,on also Included an appl,cat,on
narrative written by Mr Steve Barrett, Deputy Supenntendent for Spnngfield Public Schools
On page 2 Mr Barrett states
'The bleachers/grandstand deSign contained Within the Site Plan application Includes a descrrptlon
of nOise contral panels to be mounted to the south end of the bleachers However, the District
Wishes to not Incur the conSiderable expense af installing these panels If not reqUired by the City
Note that the nOise level at the south property line (adjOining reSidential propenres) would be 5dBA
In excess of the OAR 340-35-035 standard as calculated by Alben G Dubie, P E, the acoustical
consultant retained as pan of the applICant's deSign team ..
Mr Barrett c,tes the exemption for crowd nOise under OAR 340.35-035 (see below)
Frndrng. The applicant's plans and submittal narrative are inconsistent On June 11,2007, staff
rece,ved a telephone call from the applicant's representative Randy Nishimura, Robertson
Sherwood Architects, which speCifically requested that staff review the school district's proposal
Without the nOise control panels Mr N,sh,muralthe school d,stnct based thiS request on the
fact that OAR 340-35-035 Section I C 5(1), page 16 speCifically exempts crowd nOise at sporting

"stad,ums, sWimming pools and other maJor nOise generators" ,n the Public Land and Open
Space ZOning D,strlct The local ordinance reqUires nOise to be screened by an "attenuating

under SDC 23 100 (2) The prevIous decIsion by the Planning Commission to allow the
discretionary use Uournal Number 2002-09-0290) recognIZed thiS fact and condlt,oned the
Discretionary Use approval With Condition 5 Condition 5 speCifically reqUired adherence to a

allowable statistical nOise levels The Planning Commission acknowledged that Table 9 prov,des
a reasonable standard With which to measure and evaluate nOise levels from the proposed land
