THE SITE AND EXISTING CONDITIONS
A. Development Site
The To Level Reservoir site is located at South 661, Place and Jessica Drive in the Thurston Hills
of Springfield. The reservoir site is partially forested and is approximately 1.77 acres in size.
Access is by way of a graveled drive (part of an existing variable width access and utility
easement) extending from South 66th Place. Abutting the site to the north, south and east is
unimproved land which is planned and zoned for low density residential development. The 3'^
Level Reservoir is outside Springfield city limits (annexation agreement is underway in a separate
process).
B. Planning Context
1. Planning and Zoning
Local long-range land use is governed by the t �.•� 2 4
Eugene -Springfield Metropolitan Area General
Plan (Metro Plan), often supplemented with a 2
more specific refinement plan and/or i !�
neighborhood plan, followed by site-specific
zoning. Further, zoning can sometimes be
comprised of base and overlay zoning.
For the reservoir site, the Metro Plan
designation is Low Density Residential, there is
no applicable neighborhood plan, and the base
zoning is Low Density Residential. C__,
SpringFleld zoning Map
September2018
2. Transportation
a. TransPlan.
The metro area adopted transportation plan, The Eugene -Springfield Transportation
System Plan (TransPlan), adopted in 2001 and amended in 2002, includes one project in
the vicinity of the subject property — Project 36, a future collector connecting Straub
Parkway to the west to the general vicinity of the south side of MountainGate Master Plan
area.
b. Springfield 2035 Transportation System Plan.
The City of Springfield's Local Street Network f J
diagram shows proposed future streets within
Springfield's jurisdiction. The plan is illustrative only Ij
and is not parcel specific. Future local streets, their
locations and connection points can be adjusted at ✓i time of specific development proposals. None of the —
future streets affect the subject property.

4. Natural Resources
a. Springfield Natural Resources Study.
The Springfield Natural Resource Study Report does not identify any resources on or
near the site that would be impacted by the proposed development.
b. Springfield Wetland Inventory I Water Quality Limited Watercourses (WQLW).
Neither the National Wetlands Inventory nor the Local Wetlands Inventory document the
presence of jurisdictional wetlands on or adjacent to the subject property. Springfield's
Water Quality Limited Watercourses inventory also documents that there are no WQLW
features on or adjacent to the subject property.
c. Geotechnical Stability.
Two Geotechnical Reconnaissance reports were generated for the existing SUB
Reservoir Site in 2013. The second report, Supplemental Geotechnical Investigation,
dated November 18, 2013, States that three exploratory boreholes were drilled at the site
and includes the following conclusion on page 7.
"SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS. The slope stability analyses indicate the reservoir
site is relatively stable for both static and seismic conditions based on the estimated soil
strength parameters. Therefore, we believe the risk of slope instability is low.
Certain factors could still affect the
stability of the site, including future
development of the surrounding area
and other factors that influence
groundwater conditions. In addition
as with any development within
landslide terrain, some risk of
instability, though minor, still
remains."

at front, interior side and rear yards for parking, driveway and outdoor storage. These
setback areas are already landscaped (i.e., at the recently constructed pump station) or
are landscaped with existing hillside vegetation. (See Plan Set.)
Interior to the 3' Level Reservoir site, there will be some disturbed areas as the proposed
reservoir and utility infrastructure is constructed. These areas will be landscaped with
meadow grass that is drought resistant and does not need irrigation. A minimum of 65
of required planting areas will be covered with living plant material within 5 years of
installation.
There will be some areas of tree removal. See Tree Felling Plan (Sheet TF1.0). These
will be interior to the site, where the reservoir will be constructed. Existing trees along
street frontage to the south and west and along the adjacent property to the north and
east will remain.
12. SDC 4.4.110 Screening; and
SDC 4.4-115 Fencing
A. Screening shall be required 1. Where commercial and industrial districts abut
residential districts and no approved screening exists; 2. For outdoor mechanical
devices and minor and major public facilities; 3. For outdoor storage areas
abutting residential districts; 4. For trash receptacles.

April 7 2022
Response: The development is in a residential district. There are no proposed outdoor
mechanical devices. There are no outdoor storage yards or areas. There are no trash
receptacles. The recently constructed pump station was screened to meet this standard.
Improvements associated with this application are either underground or are screened
with existing vegetation.
B. Screening shall be vegetative, earthen and/or structural and be designed to
minimize visual and audible incompatible uses from adjacent properties...
1. Structural screening shall be a fence or masonry wall constructed to provide a
uniform sight -obscuring screen.
Response: A 6' tall chain link fence with 3 strands of barbed wire surrounds the
perimeter of the 30 level reservoir site; the chain-link fence is black powder -coated chain
link. Existing trees, shrubs, and landscaping provide screening along the Jessica Drive
right-of-way and the north property line of the pump station site, between the subject
property and the adjacent residential property. Existing hillside vegetation between the
proposed improvements and the residential property will remain and continue to serve as
screening.
13. SDC 4.5.100 On -Site Lighting Standards; and
SOC 4.5-110 Illumination and Height
A. On-site lighting shall be the minimum illumination necessary for a given
application including parking areas and vehicle sales areas. All exterior light
fixtures shall be shielded or recessed so that direct glare and reflection are
contained within the boundaries of the property, and directed downward and away
from abutting properties; public rights-of-way; and riparian, wetlands and other
protected areas identified in this Code on the same property.
B. Height.
1. The height of a freestanding exterior light fixture shall not exceed 25 feet or
the height of the principal permitted structure, whichever is less. In this case,
height is measured as the vertical distance between the paved surface and the
bottom of the light fixture.
Response: On-site lighting will be limited to wall mounted light fixtures attached to the
reservoir(s). (See Plan Set.)
14. SDC 4.6-100 Vehicle Parking, Loading and Bicycle Standards.
Response: The proposal will meet the standards of Section 4.6-105 through 4.6-125 Vehicle
Parking, Section 4.6-130 through 4.6-135 Loading Areas and Section 4.6-140 through 4.6-
156 Bicycle Parking.
• Section 4.6-105 through 4.6-125 Vehicle Parking — This is a major public utility facility. It
is not open to the public. There are no customers or visitors. The only vehicles that will
be accessing the site will be maintenance and repair vehicles from the utility facility
owner. There is no parking needed. Thus, this standard does not apply.
• Section 4.6-130 through 4.6-135 Loading Areas — The need is not so much for loading
areas as it is for staging areas for on-site work activity. In this regard, a gravel surface
area is provided from South 66 Place to the reservoir site. These areas meet or exceed
the minimum width of 10 feet, minimum length of 25 feet and minimum clear vertical
height of 14 feet. In this regard, this standard is met.
• Section 4.6-140 through 4.6-155 Bicycle Parking — This facility is not open to the public.
Individuals accessing the site will be utility employees in maintenance and repair
vehicles. Thus, this standard does not apply.

D. Parking areas and ingress -egress points have been designed to: facilitate vehicular traffic,
bicycle and pedestrian safety to avoid congestion; provide connectivity within the
development area and to adjacent residential areas, transit stops, neighborhood activity
centers, and commercial, industrial and public areas; minimize driveways on arterial and
collector streets as specified in this Code or other applicable regulations and comply with
the ODOT access management standards for State highways.
Response: The facility does not front on or take access from an COOT facility or a collector or
arterial street (South 66th Place and Jessica Drive are local streets). The existing driveway meets
intersection standards. Bicycle and transit facilities do not exist in the immediate neighborhood
and no demand for such will be generated by this development.
