PROPERTIES, LLC Property Location: 431 35th Street, Springfield, OR 97477 Assessor's Map 17-02-31-24, Tax Lot 11900 Applicant: Ira Lucia Ninth St. Properties, LLC 17605 NW Autumn Ridge Drive, Beaverton, OR 97006 971.-226-8784 Owners: Laura Routine & Ronald Auxier 5 73 5 Mineral Way, Springfield, OR 97478 Applicant's Representative: SSW Engineers Inc, Jason Goshen, Project Manager 2350 Oakmont Way, Suite 105, Eugene, OR 97401 Phone: 541-485-8383 Email: jasong@sswengineers.com Surveyor: SSW Engineers Inc. Michael R. Dahrens, PLS 2350 Oakmont Way, Suite 105, Eugene, OR 97401 Phone: 541-485-8383 Email: miked@sswengineers.com Zoning: LDR - Low Density Residential Comprehensive Plan Designation: Low Density Residential Neighborhood Refinement Plan: Mid -Springfield Request: Minor Variance approval to adjust street frontage standard for residential lot on north -south street. Project Description The property involved in this request is a 0.93 acre parcel of land comprised of Tax Lot 11900 of Lane County Assessor's Map 17-02-31-24. The subject property is currently under residential use and developed with an existing single-family dwelling and detached garage to remain. The subject property is currently designated "Low Density Residential" per the Comprehensive Plan, and is currently zoned LDR Low Density Residential. Written Narrative Minor Variance Application for Ninth SL Properties, LLC SSW Job #20-7774 Page 1 of 3 The applicant has submitted a concurrent tentative subdivision application which proposes to subdivide the subject property into six lots, each of which is proposed to accommodate one single-family dwelling for a total of 6 dwelling units following subdivision approval. This results in a proposed net density of 6.45 dwelling units per acre, which complies with the permitted density range of 6 tol4 dwelling units per net acre within the LDR zoning district per Section 3.2-205 of the Springfield Development Code (SDC). Due to the size, shape and orientation of the subject properly, the proposed lot layout for the subdivision includes two standard lots along 35th Street and four panhandle lots towards the rear of the subject property in order to meet the minimum residential density requirements as described above. However, the subject property is situated on a north -south street and doesn't quite have enough existing street frontage to accommodate two standard lots with 60 feet of frontage each in addition to the required 26 feet of combined street frontage for the shared access / pole portions of the panhandle lots. The applicant is therefore requesting Minor Variance approval to adjust the street frontage standard for proposed Lot 1, which is the northerly of the two standard lots. This written narrative will describe how this request is consistent with applicable minor variance criteria contained in Section 5.21-125 of the Springfield Development Code (SDC). Applicable criteria are cited in bold italic text, followed by corresponding responses and findings shown in regular text. 5.21-125 Minor Variances - Criteria A. Minor Variances are limited to certain specie numeric standards in this Code. The Director may adjust the following numeric standards by up to 30 percent as a Minor Variance. 1. Building setbacks, 2. Lot/parcel dimensions that do not reduce the required loilparcel size below the minimum required in the applicable zoning district; 3. Building height, 4. Lollparcel coverage outside of the HD Overlay District as described in Section 3.3-5111; and 5. Parking standards on certain infill toWparcels. The numeric standard proposed to be adjusted involves lot dimensions pursuant to SDC 5.21-125(A)(2) above, more specifically a reduction to the 60 foot minimum street frontage for standard lots on north - south streets in the low density residential zone per SDC 3.2-215. Lot lot the proposed subdivision is proposed to have 54.19 feet of frontage on 35th Street as opposed to 60 feet, which constitutes a 9.68% adjustment to said numeric standard. Proposed Lot 1 will be 5,000 square feet in area, which complies with the applicable minimum lot size for standard lots on north -south streets in the low density residential zone per SDC 3.2-215. B. If the Minor Variance involves a setback, the plod plan shall be prepared by an Oregon registered surveyor. This minor variance request does not involve a setback, therefore this criterion is not applicable. Regardless, the Land Division Tentative Plan included with this application was prepared by an Oregon registered surveyor. C. The Director may consider additional categories oJMinor Variance, on a case by case basic, without the need for an Interpretation, as specified in Section 5.11-100. As addressed above, this minor variance request involves adjustment to the numeric standards for lot dimensions pursuant to SDC 5.21-125(A)(2), therefore this criterion is not applicable. Written Narrative Minor Variance Application for Ninth St. Properties, LLC SSW Job #20-7774 Page 2 of 3 D. The Director shall approve the Minor Variance if the applicant demonstrates compliance with all oir the applicable approval criteria: 1. Locational or dimensional problems have been identified that can be resolved by a Minor Variance; As described in the Project Description above and findings in response to the criteria at SRC 5.21- 125(A)(2), the identified dimensional problem involving street frontage can be resolved by a Minor Variance. 2. The request is the minimum necessary to alleviate lire identified dimensional or locational problem; The requested adjustment to street frontage standards is the minimum necessary to alleviate the identified dimensional problem. As discussed above in response to the criteria at SDC 5.21-125(A)(2), the applicable numeric standard is proposed to be reduced by a mere 9.68%. 3. Where applicable, the request shall result in the preservation of on-site trees 5 -inch dba and above; Existing trees 5 -inch dbh and larger on the subject property are contained within proposed Lot 6, therefore this Minor Variance request involving the street frontage of proposed Lot 1 will have no adverse effects with respect to Vee preservation. 4. The request shall not impede adequate emergency access to the site; The request will not impede adequate emergency vehicle access to the site. 5. The request shall not unreasonably adversely impact public or private easements, and The request will not adversely impact any public or private easements. 6.

In order to meet this criterion, the Director may require that the building or.structure be placed as close to the south properly line as possible; The request will not unreasonably limit solar access with respect to the abutting properly to the north. The resultant north -south dimension of proposed Lot 1 can still accommodate future placement of a dwelling in compliance with applicable solar setback standards. 7. In addition to the applicable approval criteria specified in Subsections 1. through 6., above, the. following approval criteria shall also apply to a request involving parking reductions on ittfrll lots/parcels in the Commercial and Industrial Districts when there is a change of use, addition or e-Vumsion that requires Site Plan Review Modification.
