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
construction.
n Complies as Shown on Plot Plan
I 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 450/o maximum parcel coverage.
Finding: The submitted plot plan shows that the new detached ADU meets all applicable base zone
development standards including setbacks, parcel coverage and building height.
Finding: The Base Solar Development Standards are not applicable as the new building will shade an existing
parking lot for the church to the north.
SANITARYSEWER
Finding: 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. There is an existing 8" sanitary sewer main along the eastern property
boundary with an existing lateral to serve this property.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Finding: SDC 4.3-110.B requires that the Approval Authority shall grant development approval only where
adequate public and/or private stormwater management systems provisions have been made as determined
by the Public Works Director, consistent with the Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual
(EDSPM).
Finding: The current site is a parking lot for the adjacent church and is effectively 100% impervious. The
runofffrom the existing parking appears to drain to a private system internal to the adiacent church and then
into the public system located in sth St. The existing drainage system for church does not have any apparent
stormwater treatment or management system.
Finding: The applicant has not shown any stormwater connection or collection system for the proposed
home or ADU on the application. No volume management for the proposed home or ADU is required due to
the existing site being effectively 1000/o impervious and connected to the public system in Sth St. through the
adjacent church site. The stormwater management must be shown on the building permit plot plan.
Condition of Approval: Prior to Building Permit approval, the applicant must show how stormwater is
to be directed from the roof to the public system in Stt Streeq or, supply evidence of an easement from
the adiacent church allowing stomwater discharge from the proposed home and ADU.
ADVISORY NOTE: There is an existing catch basin at the southwest corner of the lot, the downspouts from the
proposed home ond ADU can be directed to droin directly into this catch basin. This connection would require
and encroachment permit for the direct connection.
2811-21-000258-TYP1
ELECTRIC & WATER UTILITIES
Finding: SDC 4.3-130.A requires each development area to be provided with electrical and water systems
having sufficiently sized mains and lesser lines to furnish adequate supply to the development and sufficient
access for maintenance.
Finding: SDC 4.3-125 requires, whenever possible, all utility lines shall be placed underground.
Finding: The applicant provided sewer connection from the existing 8" sanitary main located along the
eastern boundary of the property. Per the City of Springfield, and ADU and Primary Dwelling may share the
same sanitary service line.
Finding: The applicant has indicated one new water and electric meter to serve the property. The Springfield
Utility Board (SUB) coordinates the design of the electric and water systems within Springfield city limits and
requires ADUs to have their own water and electric services including lines and meters. The applicant must
show the water and electric services, to be placed underground, for the ADU as well as the primary dwelling
unit.
Condition of Approval: Prior to Building Permit approval, the applicant must show the ADU's water
and electric service lines, to be placed underground, and meters on the plot plan. The applicant must
coordinate with the Springfield Utility Board for final placement
PUBLIC STREETS. SIDEWALKS & IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENTS
Finding: SDC 4.2-105.G.2 requires that whenever a proposed land division or development will increase
traffic on the City street system and that development has any unimproved street frontage abutting a fully
improved sffeet, that street frontage shall be fully improved to City specifications. The frontage of this lot
along 5th SL is partially improved with paving, sidewalk and curb and gutter.
Finding: The existing driveway to this site is not ADA compliant or match any current city standard
driveways. The cross slope on the existing driveway exceeds the2o/o maximum cross slope. The sidewalk
adjacent to tle driveway has numerous cracks and displacement in it that result in lip greater than %" in
height that present a trip hazard and obstruction to mobility devices. However, the construction of an ADU
and new primary dwelling do not require these elements to be addressed with the Land Use approval or
subsequent building permits.
Advisory note: Staff recommends reconstructing the driveway approach to meet current City and ADA standards
and to replace all deteriorated sidewalk panels.
B) The accessory dwelling unit shall contain a kitchen, bathroom, living and sleeping area that are
completely independent from the primary dwelling.
I Complies as Shown on Plot Plan
U Proposal Complies when the following Condition(s) is/are met:

12sIFX1-4).
Finding: In accordance with Oregon State Law, a third off-street parking space for the Accessory Dwelling
Unit is no longer required; therefore, Criterion F is no longer applicable.

Andy,
I reviewed all the application forms and the only remark I can add is that SUB would like to be in the loop when deciding
the new meter location for the ADU. Also I would like to know if the new service for the ADU will be overhead or
underground.
Finally SUB Electric will only be charging the customer Sf0O for the new meter for the ADU
Let me know if you have any questions/concerns.
