Subject:Site Plan Pre-application Conference Summary
Journal Number 92-02-22
Dear Mr. Besemann
The purpose of this letter is to summarize comments made at the Development Review
Committee meeting and Pre-application Conference on February 27,1991, regarding the
proposed expansion of the Twin Rivers Baptist Church facility, located at 1660 Mohawk
- Blvd. (also-described as Tax-Lot 5600 on Tax Assessor's Map 1.7-03:25-31).
PREVIOUS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
The church received Discretionary Use and Site Plan approval, subject to certain
conditions, for the construction of a parking lot on residentially zoned land across 17th
Street from the proposed building expansion. Those conditions must be met before final
approval of the proposed building expansion can be granted. As of February '19, the
parking lot landscaping was underway, but not completed. The landscaping, as installed,
varies significantly from what is shown on the approved site plan. Generally, a Site Plan
Modification requires a separate application and fee. ln this case however, the
modifications can be reviewed along with the proposed building expansion, under the same
Site Plan application. The Site Plan needs to include the revised landscape plan and other
required improvements for the parking lot, as listed below.
The Springfield Development Code (SDC) requires 4 shrubs for each 100 square
feet of parking lot planting area in order to provide a visual screen. Additional
shrubs will be required in the planting bed along 17th Street to meet this standard
Shrubs must be installed at minimum five foot spacing, except that they may be
held back a maximum of five feet from trees.
The interior parking lot islands, except for the two that contain utility poles, will
need two additional shrubs each.
3. The development agreement calls for a five-foot concrete walk across the planter

minimum ot J"nty feet in width.
The existing curb cut at the intersection of this driveway with 17th
Street needs to match the driveway width.
Both driveways must be one-way from Mohawk Blvd. to 17th Street
They will need directional arrows on the pavement at the Mohawk
Street entrances, and "do not enter" signs at the 17th Street exits.
ln some areas, particularly the driveways, the existing asphalt paving
is severely deteriorated. These areas must be repaired.
e. The Fire Department requires that both firelane/driveways remain
open. The existilg width of the south driveway will be adequate.
PUBLIC FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS2
a. Approved street trees will be required along 17th Street and Mohawk
Boulevard- The exi flowering cherry adjacent to 17th Street
must be shown on the Site Plan, and should be retained
3. LANDSCAPING
The Site Plan must include a landscape plan, including a plant list specifying
names, quantities and sizes of proposed plant materials. All required
setback areas must be landscaped in accordance with provisions in Article
31 of the SDC.
b
c
There must be a ten-foot landscaped setback from the property line along
17th Street.
There must be a five-foot landscaped setback along the north boundary,
between the "firelane" and the adjacent residential development (see also
item 5a below).
4. PARKING
Concrete wheel stops will be required for proposed parking stalls fronting on
sidewalks or planted areas.
ln order to be able to determine the required number of parking
spaces, the site plan must include a tabulation of the gross
floor area of primary assembly area and of the remainder of
the building. One space will be required for each 100 square
feet of primary assembly area, and one for each 200 square
feet of the remainder.

provided in the large parking lot across 17th Street, there will have to be a
wheelchair ramp in the curb on the east side of 17th Street.
5. SCREENING
b
A sight-obscuring screen is required along the north boundary, between the
church property and the adjacent residential use. The screen must be in the
form of a wooden fence (or the existing chain link fence can be slatted) and
a continuous evergreen hedge.
Any existing or proposed garbage receptacle must be enclosed within a
sight-obscuring structural screen (fence).
6. BUILDING CODE ISSUES
The project architect should work closely with Lorne Pleger, of the City's Building
Division, to address Building Code issues. Lorne can be reached at 726-3669.

The Public Works Department estimates that SDC's for this project will be
somewhere in the neighborhood of $8,000.
