ISSUE
STATEMENT:
ANNEXATION OF TERRITORY TO THE CITY OF SPRINGFIELD
(57th St Prop LLC - Case Number C SP 2008 - LRP2008-00001)
Conduct a public hearing and adopt/not adopt the following ordinance: AN ORDINANCE
MODIFYING AND APPROVING THE ANNEXATION OF CERTAIN TERRITORY TO THE .
CITY OF SPRINGFIELD, LANE COUNTY METROPOLITAN WASTEWATER SERVICE
DISTRICT, AND WILLAMALANE PARK AND RECREATION DISTRICT; AND
WITHDRA WING THE SAME TERRITORY FROM THE WILLAKENZIE RURAL FIRE
PROTECTION DISTRICT AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
The property owner has requested annexation of a 1.51 acre parcel located at 725 South 57th Street
(Map 18-02-04-11, Tax Lot 4600). As submitted by the owner, the annexation area comprises a single
tax lot and contains a single-family dwelling. The purpose of the annexation is to allow connection of
the existing house to City sewer and water, and to facilitate future development although no specific
development plans have been submitted at this time. The attached Staff Report (Attachment 1)
includes an analysis of the annexation request and recommended Council actions. Maps of the
annexation area, as subm~tted, are included with the Staff Report (Attachment 2).
The annexation area can be served with the minimum level of key urban facilities and services as
required in the Eugene-Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan. Services are immediately
available at the property frontage, and for this reason it is the determination of staff that an
Annexation Agreement is not required. The west property line of the annexation area is separated
from the City limits by an unincorporated, 10-foot wide segment of South 57th Street. To the north
and south of the property, the entire street right-of-way for South 57th Street is inside the City limits.
It is recommended that this segment of South 57th Street be included in the annexation to eliminate the
potential for a remnant portion of unincorporated street right-of-way surrounded by the City limits.
The Director's recommendation to the City Council is to (a) modify the annexation area to include the
10-foot wide strip of South 57th Street adjacent to the subject property, (b) approve the annexation of
territory, as modified, to the City of Springfield, Lane County Metropolitan Wastewater Service
District, and Willamalane Park 'and Recreation District; and ( c ) withdraw the same modified
annexation area from the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District.
A TT ACHMENTS: Attachment 1: Staff Report and Recommendation
Attachment 2: Area, Vicinity and Site Maps
Attachment 3: Ordinance with Exhibits
Exhibit A: Map and Legal Description
Exhibit B: Owner Consents and Application
Exhibit C: Staff Report
The City Council is authorized by ORS Chapter 222 and SDC Article 5.7 to accept, process, and act
on annexation requests from property owners (Attachment 3, Exhibit B). Without an Emergency
Clause, the annexation will become effective the day following the next election cycle (November 5,
2008), consistent with SDC 5.7-155 and ORS 222.040, 222.180, and 222.465. Based on this method
of initiation, an election on the.question of annexation is not allowed.
DISCUSSIONI
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
A 10-foot wide portion of existing South 57th Street right-of-way is recommended to be included in
the annexation area. The annexation area, as modified, includes one residential unit and is located
inside the urban growth boundary (UGB). The current City limits run along three sides of the -site.
Annexation is being requested in order to facilitate future development. Lane County Assessor's
records attribute a 2007 assessment value of $305,945 to the property. As new development occurs,
the assessed value will increase and additional revenue will be added to the City's tax base.

Type IV procedures, without Planning Commission consideration.
Development Issues Meeting (SDC 5.7-120): A Development Issues Meeting (DIM) IS
required of all annexation applications.
Finding: A Development Issues Meeting (DIM) was held on January 24, 2008 (Case ZON2007-
00054) to explain the new process for annexation effective January 1, 2008, following adoption
of the City's Annexation Ordinance now codified in Article 5.7 of the Springfield Development
Code (SDC).
Conclusion: The requirement in SDC 5.7-120 is met.
Annexation Ini~ation and Application Submittal (SDC 5.7-125): The City of Springfield
received written consents from the property owners (Donald McCabe, Cheryl McCabe and
Chanlin McCown on behalf of 57th St Prop LLC) initiating the annexation consistent with SDC
5.7 -125. As initiated, the annexation area includes one tax lot; staff are recommending inclusion
of a portion of South 57th Street right-of-way (Attachment 1). .
Finding: The method of initiation meets the requirements <;>f SDC 5.7-125.B.2.b.i and ORS
222.170(1), which requires written consents from more than half of the owners of land in the
territory to be annexed, who also own more than half of the land in the contiguous territory and
of the real property therein representing more than h~f of the assessed value of all real property
in the contiguous territory.
Finding: The applicant submitted the necessary annexation application forms. as required in SDC
5.7-125.5 -15 and the application was determined to be a complete filing on April 8, 2008.
Conclusion: The application requirements in SDC 5.7-125 have been met.
Site Information: The annexation area, as submitted, includes one tax lot with. an estimated
total area of 1.51 acres, and is contiguous with the Springfield City limits on three sides. The
west boundary of the subject site is separated from the City limits by a 10-foot wide strip of
South 57th Street right-of-way. Staff are recommending inclusion of the 10-footwide strip of
right-of-way to ensure that all of this fully improved street is within the City limits.
Finding: The owner is not proposing to develop the site at this time. The area requested for
annexation is developed with one single-family residence and a barn, and services are provided
as follows: police (Oregon State Police, Lane County Sheriff), schools (Springfield School
District 19), roads (City of Springfield), and Fire (Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District
contracting with the City of Springfield). There is no established water district within the area,

Due to this change, the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD)

Conclusion: Notice of the public hearing was provided consistent with SDC 5.7-130.
Recommendation to City Council (SDC 5.7-135): The Director shall . forward a written
recommendation on the annexation application to the City Council based on the approval criteria
specified in Section 5.7-140, which are provided as follows with the SDC requirements, fmdings,
and conclusions. The Director's recommendation follows SDC 5.7-140, Criteria.
Criteria (SDC 5.7-140): The application may be approved only if the City Council fmds that the
proposal conforms to the following criteria:
A. The affected territory proposed to be annexed is within the City's urban growth
boundary; and is
1. Contiguous to the city limits; or
2. Separated from the City only by a public right of way or a stream, lake or other
body of water.
Finding: The subject annexation area is located within the acknowledged urban growth boundary
(UGB) of the Eugene-Springfield M~tropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan). The UGB is
C SP 2008 - LRP2008-0000 1 (57th St Prop. LLC)
ATTA~HMENT 1 - 3
Page 3 of8
located approximately 2,500 feet southwest of the annexation area. The annexation area is
contiguous to the Springfield city limits along the northern, eastern and southern sides. The
western boundary is separated from the Springfield City limits by a 10-foot strip of South .57th
Street right-of-way, which is part of the modified annexation area.
Conclusion: The proposal meets this criterion.
B. The proposed annexation is consistent with applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in
any applicable refinement plans or Plan Districts;
. Finding: The Metro Plan was acknowledged by the Land Conservation and. Development
Commission (LCD C) in August, 1982 and has been subsequently amended. The annexation area
is located within the acknowledged UGB of the Metro Plan. Territory within the UGB ultimately
will be within the City of Springfield.
Finding: The Metro Plan recognizes that ultimately, all territory within the UGB will be annexed
to an existing city (Policy #10, page ll-C-4; Policy #16, page ll-C-5; and Policy #21, page ll-C-
6). Springfield is the unit of government identified in the Metro Plan to provide urban services to
annexed territory.
Finding: The Metro Plan recognizes that as annexations to the City occur, existing special
service districts within the UGB will be dissolved (policy #18, page ll-C-6). The continued
annexation of properties to the City of Springfield is consistent with the Metro Plan, which will
result in the elimination of several special districts within the urbanizable area.
Finding: The annexation area is within the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District (RFPD).
The fire district contracts with the City of Springfield for fIre services within its boundaries.
After the public hea.ritlg and if determined by the City Council that withdrawal is in the best
interest of the City, the annexation area will be withdrawn from the RFPD consistent with ORS
222.510, 222.520, and 222.525 and the City will provide fIre services directly to the annexed
property .
Finding: After the public hearing and if determined by the City Council that annexation is in the
best interest of the City, the annexation area will be annexed into the Lane County Metropolitan
Wastewater Service District as authorized by an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between
the City of Springfield and Lane County. This special district was formed to provide the
fmancing for the regional wastewater treatment plant serving wastewater users within the City of
Springfield.
Finding: After the public hearing and if determined by the City Council that annexation is in the
best interest of the City, the annexation area ~ll be annexed into the Willamalane Park and
Recreation District as authorized by an intergovernmental agreement between the City of
Springfield and Lane County. The park district provides park and recreation facilities and
services to territory within the City of Springfield.
Conclusion: The proposal meets this criterion.

c. The proposed annexation will result in a bou~dary in which the minimum level of key
urban facilities and services as dermed in the Metro Plan can be provided in an orderly
efficient and timely manner, and
Finding: The Metro Plan recognizes annexation as the highest priority for extending the
minimum level of key urban facilities and services to urbanizable areas (policies #8 and #10,
page II-C-4).
Finding: The annexation area will take advantage of urban service delivery systems that are
already in place to serve this area. Because the required urban utilities are immediately available
to the site in the public street frontage along South 57th Street, the City's Public Works
Department determined that. an Annexation Agreement was not required. In addition to urban
utilities, the following facilities and services are either available or can be extended to this
annexation area:
. Water -SUB Water provides water service to developed properties in this area of south
Springfield. There is an existing6-inch water line located in South 57th Street. Upon annexation,
water service to the existing house and new development within the subject area can be provided
by this water line consistent with SUB standards.
Electricity - SUB Electric provides service to developed properties in this area of Springfield.
Upon annexation, electrical service to the existing house and new development within the subject
area can be extended from the existing electrical system.
Police Services - Springfield Police Department currently provides service to other properties in
this general area already inside the City. After annexation, this area will receive police services
on an equal basis with properties inside the City. Infill annexations and development in this area
will increase the efficiency of service delivery to this area.
Fire and Emergency Services - Fire protection is currently provided to the annexation area by the
Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District. This special district contracts with the City of
Springfield for fire services to territory wlthin the district's boundaries. Springfield fITe stations
are located near Pheasant Avenue and Hayden Bridge Way, South 47th Street and Main Street,
and South 68th Street and Main Street.
Concurrent with annexation to the City of Springfield, the annexation area will be withdrawn
from the rural fire district in accordance with ORS 222, if the City Council determines that
withdrawal is in the best interest of the City.
Emergency medical transport (ambulance) services are provided on a regional basis by Eugene,
Springfield, and Lane Rural Fire/Rescue to central Lane County. The annexation area will
continue to receive this service consistent with the adopted ambulance service area (ASA) plan.
Mutual aid agreements have been adopted by the three regional ASA providers to provide backup
coverage for each other's jurisdictions.

Parks and Recreation - Park and recreation services are provided to the City of Springfield by the
Willamalane Park and Recreation District. Indoor recreation facilities, such as theWillamalane
Park Swim Center, Lively Park Swim Center, Memorial Building Community Center, and
Willamalane Adult Activity Center will be available to residents as new development occurs.
The park district offers various after-school and other programs for children at 'schools and parks
throughout the community. Also available are pathways and several categories of parks,
including community parks, sports parks, special use parks, and natural area parks. Bluebelle
Park, a 2.5S-acre neighborhood park located at South 50th Place and Bluebelle Way, and
Volunteer Park, a 4.4-acre neighborhood park on Holly Street at South 43rd Street, are located in
the vicinity. A new neighborhood park also 'has been developed in the Jasper Meadows
subdivision on South 57th Street near Mt. Vernon Road.
Concurrent with annexation to the City of Springfield, the subject area will be annexed to the
Willamalane Park and Recreation District consistent with City policy, if the City Council
determines that annexation to the special district is in the best interest of the City.
Schools - Springfield Sc~ool District 19 serves this area. Existing schools-Mt. Vernon
elementary, Agnes Stewart middle, and Thurston high-serve this neighborhood and. can
accommodate students resulting from new development occurring within the annexation area.
Sanitary Sewer - The western portion of the subject property can be served by an existing S-inch
public sanitary sewer line in South 57th Street. If further development of the property is proposed
in the future, it will be the responsibility of the property owner/developer to review the site for.
specific sewer design requirements and verify capacity in the public system.
Concurrent with annexation to the City of Springfield, the annexation area will be annexed to the
Lane County Metropolitan Wastewater Service District, if the City Council determines that
annexation to the special district is in the best interest of the City.
Stormwater ~ An existing stormwater management system in located within South 57th Street,
and consists of a 12-inch diameter pipe which is adequate to serve the property. Any further.
development or redevelopment in the annexation area will require appropriate stormwater
management techniques in accordance with City standards.
Streets - The subject property fronts South 57th Street on the west and Bob Straub Parkway on
the east. There is no provision for direct access from the property onto Bob Straub Parkway.
Along the property frontage, South 57th Street is not developed to full urban standards and lacks
curb, gutter, sidewalk, street trees and a defmed bike lane. Full street improvements will be
required with future development or redevelopment of the property, and will need .to be
constructed or bonded prior to approval of a Final Plat or Final Site Plan. Additionally, with
future development or redevelopment or the annexation area, a 7- foot wide Public Utility
Easement (PUB) will be required along the property frontage to accommodate extension of
public utilities to serve the subject area and adjacent properties.
As submitted, the annexation a,rea only includes Tax Lot 4600. Staff review of the annexation
has determined that a 10-foot wide strip of South 57th Street along the frontage of the subject
C SP 200S - LRP200S-00001 (57th St Prop. LLC)
ATTACHMENT 1 - 6
Page 60fS
property is not within the City limits. Staff propose a modification of the annexation area to
include the small segment of public street right-of-way (totaling approximately 0.05 acres) to
ensure that all of South 57th Street along the property frontage is within the City limits. ,lbis will
also eliminate the potential creation of an unincorporated "island" area for the 10- foot wide by
235-foot long segment of South 57th Street. The City's Public Works Department supports the
modified annexation despite not having a fully-improved public street along the property
frontage.
Solid Waste Management - The City and Sanipac have an exclusive franchise arrangement for
garbage service inside the City limits. Upon. annexation, Sanipac will serve this property.
Communication Facilities - Various providers offer both wired and wireless communication
services in the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area. Existing providers and those entering the
market have the capability to provide service to future development in this area.
Land Use Controls - The annexation area is within Springfield's portion of the urban growth
boundary. Through an intergovernmental agreement between Lane County and the City of
Springfield, the City already has planning. and building jurisdiction for this property. The City
will continue to administer land use controls after annexation.
Finding: The minimum level of key urban facilities and services, as defmed on page. V - 3 of the
Metro Plan, are either immediately available or can be provided within a reasonable future time
frame as needed.
Conclusion: The proposal meets this criterion.
D. Where applicable fiscal impacts to the City have been mitigated through an Annexation
Agreement or other mechanism approved by the City Council.
Finding: Staff have determined that existing utility infrastructure and necessary services are
readily available to the annexation area, and therefore no Annexation Agreement was required.
An Improvement Agreement for future street improvements will be required and, upon
development or redevelopment of the site, the public street frontage must meet the applicable
standards of the Springfield Development Code and the City's Engineering Design Standards and
Procedures Manual.
Conclusion: The proposal meets this criterion.
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: Modify the annexation area to include a 10-foot
wide section of South 57th Street right-of-way along the frontage of Tax Lot 4600; approve
the modified annexation of territory to the City of Springfield, Lane County Metropolitan
Wastewater Service District, and Willamalane Park and Recreation District, and withdraw
the m~dified annexation area from the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District.
City Council Decision (SDC 5.7-145): City Council approval of the annexation application
shall be by Ordinance.

Review Process (SDC 5.7-115): The subject annexation application is being reviewed under
rype IV procedures, without Planning Commission consideration.
Development Issues Meeting (SDC 5.7-120): A Development Issues Meeting (DIM) IS
required of all annexation applications.
Finding: A Development Issues Meeting (DIM) was held on January 24,2008 (Case ZON2007-
00054) to explain the new process for annexation effective January 1, 2008, following adoption
of the City's Annexation Ordinance now codified in Article 5.7 of the Springfield Development
Code (SDC).
Conclusion: The requirement in SDC 5.7-120 is met.
Annexation Ini~ation and Application Submittal (~DC 5.7-125): The City of Springfield
received written consents from the property owners (Donald McCabe, Cheryl McCabe and
Chanlin McCoWn on behalf of 57th St Prop LLC) initiating the annexation consistent with SDC
5.7-125. As initiated, the annexation area includes one tax lot; staff are recommending inclusion
of a portion of South 57th Street right-of-way (Attachment 1). .
Finding: The method of initiation meets the requirements of SDC 5.7-125.B.2.b.i and ORS
222.170(1), which requires written consents from more than half of the owners of land in the
territory to be annexed, who also own more than half of the land in the contiguous territory and
of the real property therein representing more than half of the assessed value of all real property
in the contiguous territory.
Finding: The applicant submitted the necessary annexation application forms as required in SDC
5.7-125.5 -15 and the appIication was determined to be a complete filing on April 8, 2008.
Conclusion: The appIication requirements in SDC 5.7.;.125 have been met.
Site Information: The annexation area, as submitted, includes one tax lot with an estimated
total area of 1.51 acres, and is contiguous with the Springfield City limits on three sides. The
west boundary of the subject site is separated from the City limits by a 10-foot wide strip of
South 57th Street right-of-way. Staff are recommending inclusion of the 10-foot wide strip of
right-of-way to ensure that all of this fully improved street is within the City limits.
. .
Finding: The owner is not proposing to develop the site at this time. The area requested for
annexation is developed with one single-family residence and a barn, and services are provided
as follows: police (Oregon State PoIice, Lane County Sheriff), schools (Springfield School
District 19), roads (City of Springfield), and Fire (Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District
contracting with the City of Springfield). There is no estabIished water district within the area,
and the property is served by a private well system. Upon annexation, the property owner can
request connection to the Springfield Utility Board (SUB) water system~

Notice Requirements (SDC 5.7-130): Consistent with SDC 5.7-130, notice was provided as
follows:
Mailed Notice. Notice of the annexation appIication was mailed June 20,2008, which is
at least 14 days prior to the .pubIic hearing date, to the affected property owner(s) (the
annexation areas are pubIic facilities and not in private ownership); owners . and occupants
of properties located within 300 feet of the perimeter of.the affected territory; affected
neighborhood groups or community organizations officially recognized by the city that
includes the affected territory; (including, but not limited to, Southwest Thurston
Association, Washburne Neighborhood Association, East Alton Baker Association, 'and
the Game Farm Neighbors Association); affected special 4istricts and all other public
utility providers; and the Lane County Land Management Division, Lane County
Elections, and the Lane County Board of Commissioners.
Newspaper Notice. Notice of the July 7, 2008 public hearing was pubIished in The
Register-Guard on June 18, and June 25, 2008.
Posted Notice. Notice of the July 7,2008 public hearing was posted in four pubIic places
in the City [in two locations in the area of the annexation; at the Springfield City Hall
Development Services Division; and on the City of Springtield web site] on June 23,
2008, for two successive weeks prior to the hearing date.
Finding: Upon annexation of the subject property to the City the site will retain its Low Density
Residential zoning, but the Urbanizable Fringe Overlay District (UF-I0) will no longer apply.
Due to this change, the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD)
was notified in writing of the annexation proceedings more than 45 days prior to the public
hearing.
Conclusion: Notice of the public hearing was provided consistent with SDC 5.7-130.
Recommendation to City Council (SDC' 5.7-135):' The Director shall forward a written
recommendation on the. annexation application to the City Council based on the approval criteria
specified in Section 5.7-140, which are provided -as follows with the SDC requirements, findings,
and conclusions. The Director's recommendation follows SDC 5.7-140, Criteria
Criteria (SDC 5.7-140): The application may be approved only if the City Council finds' that the
proposal conforms to the following criteria:
A. The affected territory proposed to be annexed is within the City's urban' growth
boundary; and is
1. Contiguous to the city limits; or
2. Separated from the City only by a public right of way or a stream, lake or other
body of water.
Finding: The subject annexation area is located within the acknowledged urban growth boundary
(UGB) of the Eugene-Springfield MetropoIitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan). The UGB is
C SP 2008 - LRP2008-0000 1 (57th St Prop. LLC)

EXHIBIT C - P4
located approximately 2,500 feet southwest. of the annexation area. The annexation area is
contiguous to the Springfield city limits along the northern, eastern and southern sides. The
western boundary is separated from the Springfield City limits by a 10- foot strip of South 57th
Street right-of-way, which is part of the modified annexation area.
Conclusion: The proposal meets this criterion.
B. The proposed annexation is consistent with applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in
any applicable refmement plans or Plan Districts;
Finding: The Metro Plan was acknowledged by the Land Conservation and. Development
Commission (LCDC) in August, 1982 and has been subsequently- amended. The annexation area
is located within the acknowledged UGB of the Metro Plan. Territory within the UGB ultimately
will be within the City of Springfield.
Finding: The Metro Plan recognizes that ultimately, all territory within the UGB will be annexed
to an existing city (poIicy #10, page ll-C-4; PoIicy #16, page ll-C-5; and Policy #21, page ll-C-
6). Springfield is the unit of government identified in the Metro Plan to provide urban services to
annexed territory.
Finding: The Metro Plan recognizes that as annexations to the City occur, existing special
service districts within the UGB will be dissolved (poIicy #18, page ll-C-6). The continued
annexation of properties to the City of Springfield is consistent with the Metro Plan, which will
result in the elimination of several special districts within the urbanizable area.
Finding: The annexation area is within the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District (RFPD).
The fire district contracts with the City of Springfield for fire services within its boundaries.
After the public heariJ:lg and if determined by the City Council that withdrawal is in the best
interest of the City, the annexation area will be withdrawn from the RFPD consistent with ORS
222.510, 222.520, and 222.525 and the City will provide fire services directly to the annexed
property .
Finding: After the public hearing and if detenDined by the City Council that annexation is hi the
best interest of the City, the annexation area will be annexed into the Lane County Metropolitan
Wastewater Service District as authorized by an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between
the City of Springfield and'Lane County. This special district was formed to provide the
financing for the regional wastew~ter treatment plant serving wastewater users within the City of
Springfield.
. Finding: After the public hearing and if determined by the City Council that annexation is in the
best interest of the City, the annexation area will be annexed into the Willamalane Park and
Recreation District as' authorized by. an' intergovernmental agreement between the . City of
Springfield and Lane Cqunty. The park district provides park and recreation facilities and
services to territory within the City of Springfield. .
Conclusion: The proposal meets this criterion.

c. The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key
urban facilities and services as dermed in the Metro Plan can be provided in an orderly
efficient and timely manner, and
Finding: The Metro Plan recognizes' annexation as the highest priority for extending the
minimum level of key urban faciIities and services to urbanizable areas (poIicies #8 and #10,

Finding: The annexation area will take advantage of urban service delivery systems that are
already in place to serve this area. Because the required urban utilities are immediately available
to the site in the public street frontage along South 57th Street, the City's PubIic Works
Department determined that an Annexation Agreement was not required. In addition to urban
utilities, the following faciIitles and services are either available or can be extended to this
annexation ar~a:
Water -SUB Water provides water service to developed properties in this area of south
Springfield. There is an existing 6-inch water line located in South 57th Street. Upon annexation,
water service to the existing house and new development within the subj ect area can be provided
by this water line consistent with SUB standards.
Electricity - SUB Electric provides service to developed properties in this area of Springfield.
Upon annexation, electrical service to the existing house and new development within the subject
area can be extended from the existing electrical system.
Police Services - Springfield Police Department currently provides service to other properties in
this general area already inside the City. After annexation, this area will receive poIice services
on an equal basis with properties inside the City.. Infill annexations and development in this area
will increase the efficiency of service delivery to this area.
Fire and Emergency Services - Fire protection is currently provided to the annexation area by the
WilIakenzie Rural Fire Protection District. This special district contracts with the City of
. Springfield for fire services to territory within the district's boundaries. Springfield fire stations
are located near Pheasant Avenue and Hayden Bridge Way, South 47th Street and Main Street,
'th
and South 68 Street and Main Street.
Concurrent with annexation to the City of Springfield, the annexation area will be withdrawn
from the 'rural fire district in accordance with ORS 222, if the City' Council determines that
. withdrawal is in the best interest of the City.
Emergency medical transport (ambulance) services are provided on a regional basis by Eugene,
Springfield, and Lane Rural Fire!Rescue to central Lane County. The annexation area will
continue to receive this service consistent with the adopted ambulance service area (ASA) plan.

Parks and Recreation - Park and recreation services are provided to the City of Springfield by the
Willamalane Park and Recreation District. Indoor recreation faciIities, such as the Willamalane
Park Swim Center, Lively Park Swim Center, Memorial Building Community Center, and
Willamalane Adult Activity Center will be available to residents as new development occurs.
The park district offers various after-school and other programs for children at schools and parks
throughout the community. Also available are pathways and several categories of parks,
including community. parks, sports parks, special use parks, and natural area parks. Bluebelle
Park, a 2.58-acre neighborhood park located at South 50th Place and Bluebelle Way, and
Volunteer Park, a 4.4-acre neighborhood park on Holly Street at South 43rd Street, are located in
the vicinity. A new neighborhood park also has been developed in the Jasper Meadows
subdivision on South 57th Street near Mt. Vernon Road.
Concurrent with annexation to the City of Springfield, the subject area will be annexed to the
Willamalane Park and Recreation District consistent with City poIicy, if the City Council
determines that annexation to the special district is in the best interest of the City.
Schools - Springfield School District 19 serves this area. Existing schools-Mt. Vernon
elementary, Agnes Stewart middle, and Thurston high-serve this neighborhood and can
accommodate students resulting from new development occurring within the annexation area.
Sanitary Sewer - The western portion of the subject property can be served by an existing 8-inch
.public sanitary sewer line in South 57th Street. If further development of the property is proposed
in the future, it will be the responsibiIity of the property owner/developer to review the site for
specific sewer design requirements and verify capacity in the pubIic system.
Concurrent with annexation to the City of Springfield, the annexation area will be annexed to the
Lane County Metropolitan Wastewater Service District, if the City Council determines that
annexation to the special district is in the best interest of the City.
Stormwater - An existing stormwater management system in located within South 57th Street,
and consists of a 12-inch diameter pipe which is adequate to serve the property. Any further
development or redevelopment in the annexation area will require appropriate stormwater
management techniques in accordance with City standards.
Streets -The subject property fronts South 57th Street on the west and Bob Straub Parkway on
the east. There is no provision for direct access from the property onto Bob Straub Parkway.
Along the property frontage, South 57th Street is not developed to full urban standards and lacks
curb, gutter, sidewalk, street trees and a defined bike lane. Full street improvements will be
required with future development or redevelopment of the property, and will need to be
constructed or bonded prior to approval of a Final Plat or Final Site Plan. Additionally, with
future development or redevelopment or the annexation area, a 7 -foot wide PubIic UtiIity
Easement (PUB) will be required along the property frontage to accommodate extension of
public utilities to serve the subject area and adjacent properties.
As submitted, the annexation area only includes rax Lot 4600. Staff review of the annexation
has determined that a 10-foot wide strip of South 57th Street along the frontage of the subject'

property is not within the City lim.i~. Staff propose a modification of the annexation area to
include the small segment of pubIic street right-of-way (totaling approximately 0.05 acres) to
ensure that all of South 57th Street along the property frontage is within the City limits. This will
also eliminate the potential creation of an unincorporated "island" area for the 10- foot wide by
235-foot long segment of South 57th Street. The City's PubIic 'Works Department supports the
modified annexation despite not having a fully-improved public street along the property
frontage.
Solid Waste Management - The City and Sanipac have an exclusive franchise arrangement for
garbage service inside the City limits. Upon. annexation, Sanipac will serve this property.
Communication FaciIities - Various providers offer both wired and wireless communication
services in the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area. Existing providers and those entering the
market have the capability to provide service to future development in this area.
Land Use Controls - The annexation area is within Springfield's portion of the urban growth
boundary. Through an intergovernmental agreement between Lane County and the City of
Springfield, the City already has planning and building jurisdiction for this property. The City
will continue to administer land use controls after annexation.
Finding: The minimum level of key urban facilities and services, as defined on page V - 3 of the
Metro Plan, are either immediately available or can be provided within a reasonable future time
frame as needed.
Conclusion: The proposal meets this criterion.
D. Where applicable fiscal impacts to the City have been mitigated through an Annexation
Agreement or other mechanism approved by the City Council.
Finding: Stirlf have determined that existing utility infrastructure and necessary services are
readily available to the annexation .area, and therefore no Annexation Agreement was required.
An Improvement Agreement for future street improvements will be required and, upon
development or redevelopment of the site, the public street frontage must meet the applicable
standards of the Springfield Development Code and the City's Engineering Design Standards and
Procedures Manual. '
Conclusion: The proposal meets this criterion.
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: Modify the annexation area to include a 10-foot
wide section of South 57th Street right-of-way along the frontage of Tax Lot 4600; approve
the modified annexation of territory to the City of Springfield, Lane County Metropolitan
