Criteria of Approval: In order to grant ADU approval, the Director must determine compliance with all applicable standards specifi ed below: Section 5.5-125 ADU Development Standards A) The accessory dwelling unit shall meet all applicable standards in this Code including but not limited to; setbacks, height lot/parcel coverage, solar access and building codes in effect at the time of consfuction. ! Complies as Shown on Plot Plan r Proposal Complies when the following Condition(s) is/are met: BASE ZONE DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS Springfield Development Code (SDC) 3.2-215 Base Zone Development Standards for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) sets minimum setbacks, which are 10' front, street side, and rear yards and 5' interior side yards; and all covered structures cannot exceed 45% maximum parcel coverage. Finding: The submitted plot plan shows that the new detached ADU meets all applicable base zone development standards. However, there is 10'wide Public Utility Easement (PUE) centered along the northern and eastern property boundaries ofthe subject property; no encroachments are permitted in a PUE. Finding: The submitted plans shows that the ADU foundation is placed right at the minimum 5'interior side yard setback which is located outside the PUE, however, the plans show 24" eaves encroaching into the PUE area. It is required as a condition of approval that the applicant must locate the ADU so that no part of the structure, including overhanging eves, encroaches into the Public Utility Easement along the easter property boundary. Condition of Approval: Prior to Building Permit submittal, the applicant must locate the ADU so that no part of the structure, including overhanging eves, encroaches into the Public Utility Easement along the eastern property boundary. BASE SOLAR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS SDC 3.2-225 states that all buildings in the LDR and MDR Districts shall protect the solar access of neighboring residential lots/parcels unless specified elsewhere in this code. The solar setback ofthe shade point shall be greater than or equal to the setback specified in Table 3.2-1 or as computed using the following formula: 553 = (2.5 x SPH) + (N/2) -75, where, SSB = The solar setback (the horizontal distance between the shade point and the Northern lot/parcel line in fee! (See Figure 3.2-A); SPH = The height ofthe shade point in feet (See Figures 3.2-D and E); and N = The north-south dimension in feet, provided that a north-south dimension more than 90 feet shall use a value of 90 feet for this calculation. Provided, the solar setback ofthe shade point may be decreased 2.5 feet above the amount calculated using the formula or Table 3.2-A for each foot that the average grade at the rear property line exceeds the average grade at the front property line. Finding: The proposed height of the ADU is 12' 9" at its highest point which requires a minimum solar setback of 0' using the formula provided above. The ADU is setback 10' from the north property line which exceeds the solar setback requirement. 2811-21-000221-TYP1 SANITARYSEWER SDC 4.3-105.A requires that sanitary sewers shall be installed to serve each new development and to connect developments to existing mains. Additionally, installation of sanitary sewers shall provide sufficient access for maintenance activities.

SDC 4.3-110.D requires that run-off from a development shall be directed to an approved stormwater management system with sufficient capacity to accept the discharge. SDC 4.3-110.E requires new developments to employ drainage management practices, which minimize the amount and rate of surface water run-off into receiving streams, and which promote water quality. Finding: The existing public stormwater system in this area is undersized and is at capacity and cannot support additional stormwater discharge.
