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.

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." ir�✓{\> rr.

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.

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.
