Transportation.
a. Metro Area TransPlan.
The metro area's adopted transportation plan, The Eugene — Springfield Transportation
System Plan (TransPlan), adopted in 2001 and amended in 2002, does not include
projects abutting the subject property but does include a few nearby. These are new
Collector Street projects in the vicinity of the nearby PeaceHealth Riverbend medical
campus (Projects 715, 721 and 756) and an Urban Standards project improving an
existing nearby street (Project 724). These improvements are included in the City of
Springfield 2035 Transportation System Plan.

The street classification carries with it a
standard right-of-way (ROW). The standards for
Deadmond Ferry Road are as follows:
Public Transit.
The metro area's public transit system, Lane
Transit District (LTD), provides service near
the development via the EMX Springfield
route and stations (International Center
Station is half a mile north of the project and
Pavilion Station is a quarter mile to the
south). No other bus route intersects the
area.
e. Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities.
There are bikes lanes, sidewalks, and a
center turn lane on Deadmond Ferry Rd.
.w.r
3. utilities.
a. Stormwater and Wastewater.
The subject site is located in the North Gateway Stormwater Drainage Basin. The
Springfield Stormwater Facilities Master Plan identifies one capital improvement project,
"Low Priority CIP 43;" to address current issues around water quality from the nearby
campus industrial area. (The stormwater system north of the area flooded in 1996. The
piped system in Deadmond Ferry to the west was fine. The piped system in Deadmond
Ferry to the east flooded but stayed in the pipe.)

III. MINOR VARIANCE –APPROVAL CRITERIA AND RESPONSES
This section is presented in the same order of applicable requirements found in Section 5.21-125,
Minor Variances – Criteria of the Springfield Development Code. Applicable sections of the Code are
in bold italics, followed by the applicant's response in normal text.
Minor Variances—Criteria
A. Minor Variances are limited to certain specific 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 lotlparcel size below the
minimum required in the applicable zoning district;
3. Building height,
4. Lot/parcel coverage outside of the HD Overlay District;
5. Parking standards on certain ingll lots/parcels.
Response: This Minor Variance request is for an adjustment to the lot/parcel dimensions for Lot
1. Per SDC 3.2-215, a standard lot fronting on Deadmond Ferry Road (an east -west street)
requires a minimum lot size of 4,500 square feet and a minimum street frontage of 45 feet. A
single panhandle lot requires a minimum area of 4,500 square feet and a minimum street
frontage of 20 feet. The lot is 62.60 feel wide. The applicant is proposing the following for the site
layout:
1. The existing house on Lot 1 is retained.
a. Lot 1 is proposed as 5,456 square feet with a minimum street frontage of 40 feet, which
constitutes a 12% adjustment to the lot frontage standard above. Per SDC 3.2-215(15),
lot area and dimensions may be reduced through the subdivision application process as
long as density and open space standards can be met. Partitioning is a form of
subdivision. The Site Plan demonstrates that the density and open space standards are
met. Regardless, a Minor Variance is required to adjust the parcel dimensions.
2. Lot 2 is proposed as 29,426 square feet with a minimum street frontage of 22.6 feet which
complies with the panhandle standards in SDC 3.2-215 and SDC 3.2-220.
The proposal does not include adjustments to building setbacks, building height, lot parcel
coverage, or parking standards.
B. If the Minor Variance involves a setback, the plot plan shall be prepared by an Oregon
registered surveyor.
Response: The Minor Variance does not involve a setback; therefore, this criterion is not
applicable.
C. The Director may consider additional categories of the Minor Variance, on a case by case
basis, without the need for an Interpretation, as specified in Section 5.11-100.
Response: As addressed above, this Minor Variance request is for an adjustment to the lot/parcel
dimensions for the proposed lots. Therefore, this criterion is not applicable.
D. The Director shall approve the Minor Variance if the applicant demonstrates compliance
with all of the applicable approval criteria;
1. Locational or dimensional problems have been identified that can be resolved by a
Minor Variance;

Minor Variance
Page 7 of 7
Response: As noted above, the dimensional problem involving minimum lot/parcel size can
be resolved with this Minor Variance.
2. The request is the minimum necessary to alleviate the identified dimensional or
locational problem;
Response: The proposed adjustment to the minimum lot/parcel size is the minimum
necessary to alleviate the dimensional problem. As noted above, the variance constitutes an
adjustment of 12% of the numeric standard for lot frontage.
3. Where applicable, the request shall result in the preservation of on-site trees 5 -inch
dbh and above;
Response: The applicant received approval of a Tree Felling Permit for 9 trees on the subject
site in June 2021 (Case Number 811-21-000099-TYP2). The trees proposed for removal are
predominately located near the property edges, with 6 trees to be removed along the western
boundary and 3 trees near the center of the subject site. Therefore, this criterion does not
apply.
4. The request shall not impede adequate emergency access to the site;
Response: The proposal includes a fire vehicle turn around at the south end of the site.
Therefore, this request does not impede emergency access to the site.
5. The request shall not unreasonably adversely impact public or private easements; and
Response: The request will not adversely impact any public or private easements.
6. The request shall not unreasonably limit solar access standards for abutting
properties. In order to meet this criterion, the Director may require that the building or
structure be placed as close to the south property time as, possible;
Response: The existing single-family dwelling will remain, and the multi -family dwellings will
be placed on a new lot to the south and 25 feet from the abutting low-density residential
property to the west. Therefore, the proposal will not unreasonably limit solar access for the
abutting properties.
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 infill lots/parcels in the Commercial and Industrial Districts when there
is a change of use, addition or expansion that requires a Site Plan Review
Modification....
Response: The proposal does not include a parking reduction request.
IV. CONCLUSION
The applicant requests that the City of Springfield approve the proposal. If you have any questions
about the above application, please do not hesitate to contact Rick Satre at The Satre Group, 541-
