Development Issues Meeting

Along with the description of the project herein, please read the accompanying Land Use
Analysis. Additional information leading up to the questions below can be found there.
Development Issues Meeting (DIM) — List of Questions
The Springfield Utility Board (SUB) is preparing to construct improvements to the existing water storage
and distribution infrastructure at their South Hills V Level Reservoir Site. These improvements are
anticipated to include construction of a second water storage reservoir and replacement of the existing
water storage reservoir. Associated infrastructure will include stormwater, water, and electric facilities.
The main focus of this Development Issues Meeting is on the existing water storage reservoir site where
a new water storage reservoir will be constructed near the northern edge of the subject tax lot (Lot 302 of
Map 18-02-03-00). The other focus is on the additional tax lots that surround the reservoir.
Land use approval for this new reservoir is anticipated to include Annexation, Major Replat, Site Plan
Review, Hillside Development Overlay District, and Tree Felling Permit. The purpose of this DIM is to
review the reservoir project. Given that, the applicant wishes to discuss the following topics at the
Development Issues Meeting:
1. Land Use.
a. Annexation. In 2015, Springfield Utility Board filed an application to annex Tax Lot 302. That
process was concluded but for the execution of an Annexation Agreement. The 2015 draft
Annexation Agreement was never executed and in 2019 the city drafted an updated Annexation
Agreement for SUB's consideration. (See Below.)
In 2019, Springfield Utility Board began moving forward with improvements to the V Level
Reservoir site with the construction of a pump station. As the physical scope of those efforts
included Tax Lot 302, the City of Springfield generated an updated draft Annexation Agreement
and submitted it to SUB for review. The Annexation Agreement included the following obligations
of the applicant:
1.1 Applicant shall bear the obligation to provide for and cooperate with future development
that may occur to the ease of Jessica Drive that may require emergency access and
connection to utilities.
• 1.1.1. Allow and cooperate with a future private developer to extend the public sanitary sewer
system through the Property frontage on Jessica Drive to the eastern property boundary of
Tax Lot 1802020000401 upon request of the City of Springfield.
• 1.1.2. Dedicate an easement for a future emergency access width of 20 feet, with a slope
easement of 25 feet wide (for an overall width of 70') as measured from the existing center
line of Jessica Drive. 10' of the easement with a 25' slope easement to be on Tax Lot 18-02-
03-00-00302, and 10' of the easement with a 25' slope easement on Tax Lot 18-02-03-10-
00100. For the benefit of Tax Lot 18-02-02-00-00402 and 18-02-02-00-00401. This easement
can be written to be extinguished when Tax Lot 18-02-02-00-00402 develops with sufficient
access that this isn't needed.
• 1.1.3. If needed, this emergency access and sewer will be constructed as part of a
PIP to paid for by and constructed by the future developer of tax lot
18020200 000402.
• 1.2 Provide and be financially responsible for the provision of any additional urban
facilities and services identified during the review and approval of the Site Plan as
necessary to serve the development of the Property, including the construction and
maintenance thereof.

Development Issues Meeting - List of Questions
December 10 2021
Question: In 2020, SUB applied for and received development approval to construct a 4th level
reservoir, uphill and to the south of the V)evel reservoir site. In the course of receiving approval,
the above referenced future emergency access and slope easements (see 1.1.2 above) were
placed in a different location than described in the 2019 draft agreement. Based on the recorded
Public Access Easement for the 4th Level Reservoir, should SUB assume that a new draft
Annexation Agreement will need to be generated?
Question: As the annexation of the SUB 3' Level Reservoir tax lot is complete but for the
execution of the Annexation Agreement the only task ramming is for the city and SUB to finalize,
sign and record the agreement. SUB could then then move on to the Major Rapist (should this be
desired or required) and the Site Plan Review applications. Is this correct?
b. Future Land division. The approved MountainGate Subdivision included all the tax lots west of the
311 Level Reservoir site. These are ghosted in on the enclosed site plan. It is anticipated that SUB
may want to consolidate these lots (Map 18-02-03-10, Lots 6000-6200 and 6400-6500) with the
314 Level Reservoir site.
Question: To help SUB in its consideration of this, does SUB need to consolidate the lots or can
the lots remain as is, now that they are under one ownership? If consolidation is required, would it
be a major or minor replat? Can staff share with us the replat process? Finally, now that the
property is owned by SUB and will be the location of a public utility facility, which components of
the subdivision decision apply?
2. Utilities and Other infrastructure.
a. Stormwater. There will be very little impervious area created with the construction of the new
water storage reservoir - essentially just the reservoir tank itself.
Question: Given that what will be required in the way of stormwater scoping, stormwater
management report and stormwater treatment facilities?
b. Reservoir Draining/Overflow.
Question: What will the city require regarding the way in which SUB will want to drain the
reservoir and/or handle any overflow, should either of these ever occur. Will SUB need to have a
piped connection to stormwater infrastructure for overflow?
3. Fire and Emergency Services.
Question: What can the Fire Marshal's Office share with us regarding their requirements for the
project?
4. Other Information.
Question: Given the above information and questions, as well as the attached Land Use Analysis, is
there anything else that staff would like to share with the applicant regarding this project?
This concludes the applicant's Development Issues Meeting questions. In advance the applicant wishes
to express their appreciation of staff time and effort in preparing responses to these questions.
Sincerely,

SPRINGFIELD UTILITY BOARD
SOUTH HILLS 3RD LEVEL RESERVOIR REPLACEMENT
Map 18-02-03-00, Lot 302 and Map 18-02-03-10, Lots 6000-6200 and 6400-6500
Land Use Analysis
The Springfield Utility Board (SUB) is preparing to construct improvements to the existing water storage
and distribution infrastructure at their South Hills 3ni Level Reservoir Site. This will include the design and
construction of one new tank (Tank 2), the demolition of the existing tank (Tank 1), followed by the
construction of a second new tank (Tank 3). The site also contains the newly constructed pump station
(Map 18-02-03-10, Lot 6100). The two new water storage reservoirs will be in approximately the same
location as the existing reservoir.
This analysis includes the existing reservoir site and the adjacent tax lots that surround the reservoir. The
analysis is based on available public data obtained from the property owner (Springfield Utility Board), the
local jurisdiction (City of Springfield), a regional land information database (Lane Council of
Governments), and occasionally other sources (title and escrow companies, Lane County, etc.).
BACKGROUND
A. Planning Context
Local long-range land use is govemed by the Eugene -
Springfield Metropolitan Area General Plan (Metro Plan),
often supplemented with a more specific refinement plan
and/or neighborhood plan, followed by site-specific zoning.
Further, zoning can sometimes be comprised of base and
overlay zoning.
For the reservoir site (Map 18-02-03-00, Lot 302), the Metro
Plan designation is Low density Residential, there is no
applicable neighborhood plan, base zoning is Low Density
Residential and overlay zoning is Urbanizable Fringe. The
five adjacent tax lots (Map 18-02-03-10, Lots 6000-6200
and 6400-6500) are inside the city limits of Springfield and
are included in the 1995 MountainGate Master Plan (which
has since expired and is no longer applicable). Lots 6000
through 6500 were created with the MountainGate Phase 3,
2nd Addition subdivision plat (the reservoir site is not within
the Master Plan). The Metro Plan and zoning designation of
the property is as shown in the following table.

B. Physical Setting
The existing reservoir property is comprised of one
tax lot (Map 18-02-03-00, Lot 00302). This location
is known as the South Hills 31d Level Reservoir Site.
The property is located in the Thurston
neighborhood of Springfield. The site contains one
existing reservoir, is partially forested and is
approximately 1.77 acres in size. Access is by way
of a graveled drive extending from South 6V Place
from the west.
The five adjacent tax lots (Map 18-02-03-10, Lots
6000-6200 and 6400-6500) are located at South
66' Place and Jessica Drive in the Thurston Hills of
Springfield. The site abuts Willamalane property to
the southeast, adjacent SUB property to the south
and undeveloped residential property to the west.
Bing Maps - Looking South
C. Development Objective
The development objective for the existing reservoir site is threefold. One, to continue serving as
a water storage reservoir site; two, the construction of a new, second water storage reservoir,
and three the demolition and replacement of the existing water storage reservoir. To consolidate
the adjacent tax lots that will not be developed with SUB infrastructure, a Major Replat of the
Mountairi Subdivision Phase 3, 2"d Addition will be required. Other land use applications
include Annexation, Site Plan Review, Hillside Development, and Tree Felling.

6. Previous Land Use Decisions Affecting the Subject Property
a. MountainGate Subdivision Phase 3, 2nd Addition.
In 2004, the City of Springfield approved the MountainGate Phase 3 subdivision which
included 109 residential lots with public streets and utilities. Phase 3 was subsequently
platted in 2 additions. The 1 st addition included 44 lots (subdivision lots 72 through 114)
and the 2nd addition included 65 lots (subdivision lots 115 through 178).
While the SUB South Hills Reservoir site is near the 2nd addition component of the
subdivision, the reservoir site itself was not part of the Master Plan nor part of the
subdivision, merely adjacent to it. Therefore, the subdivision's Conditions of Approval,
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs), Home Owner Association (HOA)
documents, Title Reports and Exceptions, and Special Assessments did not directly
affect the reservoir site. There was, however, one Condition of Approval, Condition 1,
which affected the reservoir site. This condition was then addressed in the 2n1 Addition's
final plat, which created utility access easements from the new public street system to the
existing reservoir.
Regarding the adjacent tax lots, they are part of MountainGate Phase 3, 2n6 Addition. The
subdivision, along with a hillside development and tree felling application included 36
Conditions of Approval. Some were associated with the previously approved Master Plan,
some were related to the subdivision, and some were regarding hillside development
and/or tree felling. In April 2019, the applicant scheduled a Development Issues Meeting
to discuss which components of the previous land use applications still applied. Staff
determined that the Master Plan had expired, but the Subdivision and the adopted
CC&Rs, HOAs, Easements and Dedications would still apply to the adjacent tax lots.
Should SUB wish to develop across not only the property lines but also the approved
easements and dedications, a replat of the MountainGate Phase 3, 2n6 Addition was
recommended.

iii. Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (CC&Rs).
The CC&R document addresses responsibilities and obligations of lot owners in the
MountainGate subdivision. It would pertain to the adjacent tax lots when and if
individual lots were to be developed including the design and location of structures
and driveways as well as tree preservation, fire protection, geotechnical requirements
and grading and drainage.
One adjacent tax lot is cited for restrictions. Lot 6000 (Plat Lot 172) includes a tree
conservation easement intended to preserve a viewshed for the benefit of lower
elevations. (See above.)
V. Home Owner Association (HOA).
The MountainGate Lot Owners Association (implemented in 2005) is organized as an
Oregon non-profit corporation. The adjacent tax lots purchased by SUB were
removed from the HOA as part of the purchase agreement. If SUB were to sell the
property and revert to residential development, the property would return to the HOA.
8. Development Standards.
The Springfield Development Code (SDC) governs all lands within Springfield's city limits and
its urban services area. All six chapters apply to the subject site, but three in particular,
detailed here and including Land Use Districts (Chapter 3), Development Standards (Chapter
4), and the Development Review Process and Applications (Chapter 5), are particularly
applicable. As land use applications are prepared, a detailed review of the Code will be
required. A brief overview of relevant sections follows.

9. Annexation.
a. Current regulations require annexation of property into a city before property can be
developed, including the provision of urban facilities and services.
• The Springfield Development Code addresses the purpose, applicability and process
by which property can be annexed to the city of Springfield.
• One of the Annexation criteria states: Fiscal impacts to the city, where applicable,
have been mitigated through an Annexation Agreement (SDC 5.7-125.B.13).
• Should an Annexation Agreement be needed, such a need is identified and
discussed at the Development Issues Meeting. The applicant works with the city to
generate the agreement prior to submittal of a complete annexation application
(generally by the re -submittal step). Annexation Agreements are defined as (SDC
5.7-113):
o A written agreement between the City and owners of land requesting annexation
that states the terms, conditions and obligations of the parties to mitigate fiscal
and service impacts to the City associated with the annexation and future
development of the property.
It. In 2015, Springfield Utility Board filed an application to annex Tax Lot 302. That process
was concluded but for the execution of an Annexation Agreement. The 2015 draft
Annexation Agreement was never executed and in 2019 the city drafted an updated
Annexation Agreement for SU B's consideration. (See Below.)
In 2019, Springfield Utility Board began moving forward with improvements to the V
Level Reservoir site with the construction of a pump station. As the physical scope of
those efforts included Tax Lot 302, the city of Springfield generated an updated draft
Annexation Agreement and submitted it to SUB for review. The Annexation Agreement
included the following obligations of the applicant:
• 1.1 Applicant shall bear the obligation to provide for and cooperate with future
development that may occur to the ease of Jessica Drive that may require
emergency access and connection to utilities.
• 1.1.1. Allow and cooperate with a future private developer to extend the public
sanitary sewer system through the Property frontage on Jessica Drive to the eastern
property boundary of Tax Lot 1802020000401 upon request of the City of Springfield.
1.1.2. Dedicate an easement for a future emergency access width of 20 feet, with a
slope easement of 25 feet wide (for an overall width of 70') as measured from the
existing center line of Jessica Drive. 10' of the easement with a 25' slope easement
to be on Tax Lot 18-02-03-00-00302, and 10' of the easement with a 25' slope
easement on Tax Lot 18-02-03-10-00100. For the benefit of Tax Lot 18-02-02-00-
00402 and 18-02-02-00-00401. This easement can be written to be extinguished
when Tax Lot 18-02-02-00-00402 develops with sufficient access that this isn't
needed.

Map 18-02-03-00, Lot 302; Map 18-02-03-10, Lots 6000 through 6200 and 6400 through 6500
• 1.1.3. If needed, this emergency access and sewer will be constructed as part of a
PIP to be paid for by and constructed by the future developer of tax lot
1002020000402.
• 1.2 Provide and be financially responsible for the provision of any additional urban
facilities and services identified during the review and approval of the Site Plan as
necessary to serve the development of the Property, including the construction and
maintenance thereof.
d. In 2020, SUB applied for and received development approval to construct a 4'^ level
reservoir, up hill and to the south of the 3rtl level reservoir site. In the course of receiving
approval, the above referenced future emergency access and slope easements (see
1.1.2 above) were placed in a different location than described in the 2019 draft
agreement. Therefore, a new draft Annexation Agreement will need to be generated.
e. As the annexation of the SUB V Level Reservoir tax lot is complete but for the execution
of the Annexation Agreement the only task remining is for the city and SUB to finalize,
sign and record the agreement. SUB could then then move on to the Major Replat
(should this be desired or required) and the Site Plan Review applications.
III. LAND USE APPLICATIONS
The proposed improvements to the South Hills Reservoir site will require the development, submittal
and processing of a number of land use applications.
A. Major Replat (SDC 5.12-100).
1. A Major Replat is a Type II land use application which addresses the elimination and/or
relocation of more than 2 exterior and/or interior property lines within a recorded Subdivision
or a decrease of 2 or more lots within a recorded Subdivision. It is a Planning Director
decision and includes public notice, but no public hearing.
B. Major Replat Plat (SDC 5.12-100).
1. The Plat submittal incorporates all approval conditions from the Major Replat decision. The
application is reviewed for completeness. The complete application is reviewed by staff and a
Type I (no public notice or hearing) decision is issued. Upon approval, the Planning Director
drafts a Development Agreement for signing by the City of Springfield and the developer.
C. Site Plan Review (SDC 5.17-100).
1. Site Plan Review is a Type II land use application that provides a process to regulate the
manner in which land is used and developed, ensuring compliance with various public
policies and objectives. In Springfield, Site Plan Review is required for most new
development, additions, or expansions. It is a Planning Director decision and includes public
notice, but no public hearing.
D. Final Site Plan Review (SDC 5.17-135).
1. The Final Site Plan submittal incorporates all approval conditions from the Site Plan Review
decision into a revised set of plans. Upon approval of Final Site Plan review, the city
executes a Development Agreement which is then signed by the applicant.
E. Hillside Development (SDC 3.3-500).
1. Hillside Development is a Type II application, submitted concurrently with Site Plan Review.
Therefore, processing runs concurrently, with the same steps and timeframe as Site Plan
Review.
F. Tree Felling (SDC 5.19.100).
