Page 7 of 8 Woodland Ridge— Phases 5-8 Utility Narrative Wastewater The City of Springfield has an existing wastewater trunk line that runs through the property on the South side in a public utility easement. This existing system will provide service stubs to the project at various locations with new mainlines installed in rights of way to serve the individual house development. This development is within the service basin for this existing trunk line, therefore this criterion is met. Stormwater The development will include the construction of multiple stormwater management facilities to serve the project. The facilities will include a collection system (catch basins and mainlines) which will routed to a series of detention and treatment ponds within the project area. The stormwater run-off will be treated per requirements in the City of Eugene Stormwater Management Manual that was adopted in the last Springfield code amendments as the standard. Treated stormwater will then be detained within the ponds and metered out through outfall structures to keep post-construction peak flow rates at or below the existing condition. The run-off will then be routed to historic drainage path offsite. Therefore,this criterion is met. Water Springfield Utility Board has provided a master water service plan for the development of all phases of Woodland Ridge. The routing plan is prescriptive and will provide connection points at : Holly Street(West End) - This has been constructed as part of Woodland Ridge phase 3. South 51" Place (North) - This has been constructed as part of Woodland Ridge phase 3 Holly Street(East End) - Future connection to the existing facilities in Pinehurst Subdivision. Pinehurst Street(East End)—Future connection to existing facilities in Pinehurst Subdivision There is adequate water supply available to serve the proposed development, including the high level service in phase 7. Therefore, this criterion is met. Ordinance No. 6474 Exhibit B Page 8 of 8 Franchise Utilities Sub Electric- There are existing electric utility connections at Holly Street(West& East), South 51" Place (North) and Pinehurst Street (East)to serve the proposed development. SUB electric has indicated there is adequate capacity to serve this development. Comcast Cable- There are existing cable utility connections at Holly Street (West& East), South 51' Place (North) and Pinehurst Street (East)to serve the proposed development. Comcast has indicated there is adequate capacity to serve this development. NW Natural Gas -There are existing natural gas connections at Holly Street (West& East),South 511 Place(North) and Pinehurst Street (East)to serve the proposed development. NW Natural Gas has indicated there is adequate capacity to serve this development. Therefore,these criterion are met. Ordinance No. 6474 Exhibit C Page 1 of 8 ANNEXATION AGREEMENT This Annexation Agreement("Agreement") is made between the City of Springfield, an Oregon municipal corporation ("City") and SSR Investments LLC ("APPLICANT"). RECITALS A. APPLICANT owns the parcel of land legally described in Exhibit A, the Property. The property is proximate to the jurisdictional limits of the City and is subject to annexation by the City of Springfield. B. APPLICANT has submitted to the City a request for Annexation, dated December 14, 2023 for Assessor's Map No. 18-02-04-00, Tax Lot 03500 and portions of Tax Lots 03600 and 03800,which are not currently municipally addressed and are more particularly described in Exhibit A. C. APPLICANT wishes to annex the Property to the City and seeks support from the City for the annexation. D. The Property is inside the recognized Urban Growth Boundary of the City of Springfield. The Property is within the Urbanizable Fringe Overlay District(UF-10) according to the Springfield Zoning Map, and the underlying zoning is Low Density Residential (LDR). E. Annexation of the Property requires a showing under SDC 5.7.140(C)that the Property can be provided with the minimum level of key urban facilities and services as defined in Policy 31 of the Springfield Comprehensive Plan Urbanization Element, and such showing is supported by the substantial evidence in the record of the proceeding on this annexation. City staff has determined the minimum level of key urban services is currently available to the Property. F. The purpose of this Agreement is to memorialize APPLICANT's and City's commitment and agreement to the allocation of financial responsibility for public facilities and services for the Property and other users of the facilities, sufficient to meet the City's requirements for the provision of key urban services, including long term public sanitary sewer, storm-water management systems, interconnected transportation systems, and Fire and Life Safety services necessary for an affirmative City recommendation for the annexation request. After Recording,Return to: Place Bar Code Sticker Here: City of Springfield Attn: Current Development Division Development& Public Works Department 225 Fifth Street Springfield, OR 97477 ANNEXATION AGREEMENT—Page I of 8 Ordinance No. 6474 Exhibit C Page 2 of 8 G. A public sanitary sewer system with sufficient capacity to serve the Property and other existing and proposed land uses in the vicinity of the Property is necessary to support a finding that this key urban service is available to serve the Property. • The Jasper trunk sewer line is available along the southern boundary of this property. Applicant is showing a proposed residential subdivision to be constructed on the subject parcel that is a continuation of the existing Woodland Ridge residential subdivision. This existing sanitary sewer trunk line was designed for the full urban buildout of this area and has sufficient capacity for the proposed subdivision. The applicant will be required to construct the local sewer main network as part of the subdivision development. H. A public stormwater management system with sufficient capacity to serve the Property and other existing and proposed land uses in the vicinity of the Property is also necessary to support a finding that this key urban service is available to serve the Property. • An existing public system of culverts and open channels exist that drain overland to the south under the existing Southern Pacific Railroad line and Jasper Road that is sufficient for the existing(predevelopment) conditions. The applicant will be required to provide a stormwater drainage report and tentative design for collecting and managing the increased runoff from the proposed subdivision showing no increase in peak runoff from the existing conditions. The applicant will be required to construct the local stormwater drainage system that provides quality treatment and flow mitigation as outlined in the drainage report as part of the subdivision development. L An interconnected transportation system with the existing and proposed land uses in the vicinity of the Property is also required in order to provide access and a transportation system for the provision of Fire and Life Safety services to and from the annexed property. • The Property has legal and physical access to Holly Street to the west that was constructed as part of the Phase 3 development of Woodland Ridge. • The future subdivision plan as provided by the applicant for this area shows roads to be extended to the site boundaries on the east with connections to existing streets in the Pinehurst subdivision as future phases of the Woodland Ridge subdivision develop. These connections will be across an existing panhandle driveway for 5353 Ivy Street(TL 18-02-04-00-00307). The right to build these road connections and related and necessary utility connections will need to be obtained prior to any construction of Phases 5-8. The Holly Street connection is also required for the City's Transportation System Plan (TSP)Project R-42 for any adjacent developments to be completed in this area. • The Traffic Impact Analysis submitted for the subdivision shows the development will increase traffic at the intersection of Bob Straub Parkway and Daisy Street that will require installation of a traffic signal at that location. Lane County, City of Springfield and the developer have all participated in planning and estimating the cost of the needed signal and determined a proportional share of the cost that this development is responsible for. J. In order to facilitate orderly development of the Property and ensure the full provision of key urban services that are satisfactory to the City and meet the City's conditions for an ANNEXATION AGREEMENT—Page 2 of 8 Ordinance No. 6474 Exhibit C Page 3 of 8 affirmative recommendation for annexation to the Common Council, and in exchange for the obligations of the City set forth below, APPLICANT shall comply with all requirements imposed on APPLICANT in this Agreement. Now, therefore based upon the foregoing Recitals,which are specifically made a part of this Agreement, the parties agree as follows: AGREEMENT 1. Obligations of APPLICANT. Consistent with the above Recitals, APPLICANT agrees to perform the obligations set forth in this section. 1.1.1. APPLICANT or future property owner shall construct all internal roads, Holly Street and any other streets (names have not been selected yet) shown on the approved subdivision plans using the City's Public Improvement Project(PIP) process for any approved subdivision that includes any part of the annexed area. 1.1.2. APPLICANT or future property owner will not commence any home construction until the project has reached substantial completion, as defined by House Bill 2306. 1.1.3. APPLICANT or future property owner will construct the local sewer network within the annexed area using the City's Public Improvement Project(PIP)process for any approved subdivision that includes any part of the annexed area. 1.1.4. APPLICANT or future property owner will construct the local stormwater drainage system within the annexed area using the City's PIP process for any approved subdivision that includes any part of the annexed area in a way that does not increase downstream runoff peak flow to the receiving facilities under the railroad and Jasper Road. 1.1.5. APPLICANT or future property owner will obtain the right to make the required utility and road connections to Pinehurst and Holly Streets from the current owners at 5353 Mt Vernon Road. 1.1.6. APPLICANT or future property owner will improve the frontage along Mt Vernon Road in the same construction phase that the road connection on Holly Street and Pinehurst Street are made to the existing Pinehurst subdivision. These improvements will be to current City of Springfield standards for a collector street including but not limited to paving width, curb and gutter, sidewalks, street lighting and street trees. 1.1.7. APPLICANT or future property owner will pay to the City their share of the improvement for the future traffic control device needed at the intersection of Bob Straub Parkway and Daisy Street. This amount is determined at$135,000 and will be due at the same phase the connection to Holly Street and Pinehurst Street are made. The methodology used is summarized as follows and is based on an updated vehicle trip analysis provided by Sandow Engineering on February 12, 2024: • In determining the applicant's fiscal "fair share"of a signal improvement, the first step is to determine the minimum traffic volume an intersection receives to justify or warrant signal installation. The minimum traffic volumes that warrant a traffic signal are from the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). The MUTCD has multiple different conditions and variables associated with different traffic volumes which determine when signal ANNEXATION AGREEMENT—Page 3 of 8 Ordinance No. 6474 Exhibit C Page 4 of 8 installations are warranted. For this application, the minimum volume that warrants a signal is associated with the Eight-hour Vehicular Volume for a 2 lane major roadway (Bob Straub Parkway) and one lane minor roadway (Daisy Street). Because the major roadway has a posted speed of 40 mph or higher, the traffic volumes from the 70%column of condition A from Table 4C-1 associated with the Eight-hour Vehicular Volume warrant of the MUTCD was used. The major roadway volume (420 vehicles) and minor roadway volumes (105 vehicles)from Table 4C-1 were combined to get the minimum traffic volume (525 vehicles)to warrant a signal. This annexation is for property contained within Phases 5 through 8, which contribute 49 trips distributed to this intersection,which is 9% of the 525 trips that warrant a signal. In consultation with the applicant, a future construction cost associated with a standard signal installation at this location was estimated at$1,500,000. The associated"Fair Share"contribution associated with the annexation associated with Woodland Ridge Phases 5 through 8 is 9% of the overall cost, which equates to $135,000. 1.1.8. APPLICANT or future property owner will extend the drinking water supply in each construction phase from the current 8-inch and 12-inch water mains stubbed out at Holly Street and Pinehurst Street in the Pinehurst Subdivision. Extension of the water lines will allow for connection to the Level 2 pressure zone that is required to serve Phases 5-8 and will facilitate water system looping to meet SUB Water engineering standards. 1.2.

Development Initiation Meeting(SDC 5.7.120): A Development Initiation Meeting(DIM)is required of all public agency and private landowner-initiated annexation applications,unless waived by the Director. Finding: In response to the applicant's submittal,the City held a Development Initiation Meeting on October 24, 2023. Subsequently, a completeness check meeting for the annexation request was held on December 5,2023 (File 811-23-000253-PRE). Conclusion: The requirement in SDC 5.7.120 is met. Annexation Initiation and Application Submittal (SDC 5.7.125): In accordance with SDC 5.7.125(13)(2)(b)(i) and ORS 222.170(1), an annexation application may be initiated by "more than half the owners of land in the territory,who also own more than half the land in the contiguous territory and of real property therein representing more than half the assessed value of all real property in the contiguous territory consent in writing to the annexation Ordinance No.6474 Exhibit D Page 2 of 8 of their land." Finding: The property owner who owns all of the land and real property, and full assessed value of real property in the contiguous territory, has filed an application and petition requesting annexation to the City of Springfield (Attachment 2,Exhibit B). Conclusion: The application requirements in SDC 5.7.125 have been met. Site Information: The subject annexation area consists of an irregular-shaped property comprising approximately 36.1 acres. The property is bounded on the west and north by the Phase 3 and 4 subdivision areas of Woodland Ridge, on the south by the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks and Jasper Road, and on the east by a linear panhandle extension of an adjoining property (5353 Ivy Street). The property is vacant and was formerly used for livestock grazing. Physical access to the site is provided via a stub of Holly Street where it terminates to the east of South 5 Ist Place. The applicant has also installed a temporary construction access onto Mt Vernon Road at the southeast corner of the property;however,this construction driveway will be removed when the property is developed with residential dwellings. The subject property is inside the Springfield Urban Growth Boundary(UGB) and it is contiguous to the City limits along the western,northern and northeastern boundaries. The purpose for annexing the property is to facilitate phased subdivision of residential lots that comprise Phases 5 through 8 of the Woodland Ridge neighborhood. Current zoning for the property is R-I Residential District(R-1)with an Urbanizable Fringe Overlay District(UF- 10) applied. After annexation,the OF-10 overlay will be removed and the subject property will remain within the R-1 Residential District. Existing public services are provided to the annexation area as follows: police (Lane County Sheriff), schools (Springfield School District),roads(Lane County and City of Springfield),and Fire(Eugene-Springfield Fire under contract with the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District). Springfield Utility Board (SUB) provides electrical and water service to incorporated areas of the Woodland Ridge neighborhood. There is no rural water district providing service to this unincorporated area of Springfield. SUB Water has existing water lines within the Phase 3 and 4 subdivision areas along the western and northwestern boundary of the annexation area. SUB Water also has facilities stubbed into Holly Street and Pinehurst Street within the Pinehurst neighborhood that lies just outside the eastern boundary of the annexation area. In accordance with provisions of the Annexation Agreement,the developer must provide for extension of public streets and utilities from the adjoining Pinehurst neighborhood to serve the annexation area—specifically,the Woodland Ridge Phases 5 to 8 subdivision areas. Upon annexation,the City of Springfield will be responsible for all urban services,including sanitary sewer,water and electricity(through SUB), transportation and police/fire response to the subject area. Notice Requirements (SDC 5.7.130): Consistent with SDC 5.7.130,notice was provided as follows: Mailed Notice. Notice of the annexation application was mailed January 26,2024,which is more than 14 days prior to the public hearing date to owners and occupants of properties located within 300 feet of the perimeter of the proposed annexation territory; affected special districts and all other public utility providers; and the Lane County Land Management Division, Lane County Elections, and the Lane County Board of Commissioners. The list of recipients of the mailed notice is included with the Affidavit of Mailing for this annexation application and is retained as part of the public record for Planning Case 811-23-000281-TYP4. Newspaper Notice. Notice of the February 20, 2024 public hearing was published in the print version of The Chronicle on February 8 and 15, 2024. The notification meets the requirements of SDC 5.7.130(B) for two consecutive notices in the two-week period before the hearing. Posted Notice. Notice of the February 20, 2024 public hearing was posted in four physical places in the City: on the western edge of the annexation territory at the eastern terminus of Holly Street just past the intersection with South 51"Place; on the southeastern edge of the annexation territory at the construction driveway onto Mt Vernon Road; on the eastern edge of the annexation territory at the western terminus of Holly Street just past the intersection with South 541h Street; and on the Public Notices bulletin board in the lobby of City Hall. The public hearing notice Ordinance No.6474 Exhibit D Page 3 of 8 was also digitally posted on the electronic display in the foyer of the Development&Public Works office and on the City of Springfield website. Conclusion: Notice of the public hearing was provided consistent with SDC 5.7.130. Public Testimony Received. No telephone calls or written comments were received during the public notification period that started with issuance of mailed notices on January 26, 2024 and extended through the period of February 19, 2024 when the City Council packet was published. At the public hearing meeting on February 20, 2024, one person testified with concerns about rural fire district coverage due to potential shortages of staff and resources. Staff confirmed at the public hearing meeting that the subject property would be within the Eugene-Springfield Fire response area upon annexation to the City. Recommendation to City Council (SDC 5.7.135): The Director shall forward a written recommendation on the annexation application to the City Council based on the approval criteria specified in SDC 5.7.140, which are provided as follows with the SDC requirements,findings,and conclusions. The Director's recommendation follows SDC 5.7.140,Criteria. Criteria(SDC 5.7.140): The application may be approved only if the City Council finds that the proposal conforms to the following criteria: A. The affected territory proposed to be annexed is within the City's urban growth boundary; and is 1. Contiguous to the city limits; or 2. Separated from the City only by a public right of way or a stream, lake or other body of water. Finding: The subject annexation territory is located within the acknowledged urban growth boundary(UGB)of the City of Springfield (see additional discussion in Subsection B below). The property requested for annexation is contiguous with the City limits along portions of the western, northern and northeastern boundary. The proposal meets the requirements of SDC 5.7.140(A)(1) for contiguity to the current City limits. Therefore, this annexation application meets the statutory definition of contiguity as found in ORS 222.111(1). Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with Criterion(A)(1)of SDC 5.7.140. B. The proposed annexation is consistent with applicable policies in the Metro Plan and in any applicable refinement plans or Plan Districts; Finding: The Metro Plan was acknowledged by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC)in August 1982 and has been subsequently amended. The original Metro Plan UGB encompassed both Eugene and Springfield,with I-5 being the acknowledged boundary between Eugene and Springfield. With the passage of House Bill 3337 in 2007 and adoption of Ordinance 6268 in 2011,a separate and distinct UGB was created for Springfield using a tax lot by tax lot delineation. Springfield's UGB as delineated by Ordinance 6268 was subsequently revised and expanded upon adoption of Ordinance 6361 in 2016. The revised and expanded UGB is delineated on an individual tax lot basis and has been acknowledged by LCDC. Territory within the acknowledged UGB ultimately will be within the City of Springfield. Finding: In December 2016, Springfield adopted the Springfield Comprehensive Plan- Urbanization Element as a component of Springfield's comprehensive plan in compliance with Statewide Planning Goal 14,Urbanization. The Urbanization Element explicitly retains the Metro Plan's long-standing urbanization policy criteria for approving annexations. The Urbanization Element has been acknowledged by LCDC. Finding: The territory requested for annexation is within an area that is zoned R-1 which is consistent with the comprehensive plan designation. The adopted elements of the Springfield Comprehensive Plan apply to areas within the Springfield UGB,particularly the Urbanization Element adopted by Ordinance 6361. The Urbanizable Fringe (UF-10) overlay will be effectively removed upon annexation. Following annexation, the applicant may initiate phased subdivision of the property to facilitate construction of residential dwellings. Ordinance No. 6474 Exhibit D Page 4 of 8 Finding: The continued annexation of properties to the City of Springfield is consistent with Policy 29 of the Springfield Comprehensive Plan Urbanization Element which specifies annexation as the preferred mechanism for provision of urban services to properties within the UGB,which will result in the elimination of special districts within the urbanizable area. Finding: More detailed discussion of Public Facilities and Services in the Metro Plan(Section III-G)and the Eugene- Springfield Public Facilities and Services Plan(PFSP)—a refinement plan of the Metro Plan—contemplates eventual elimination of special service districts within each city's UGB as annexation occurs incrementally. Policy G.9 of the Eugene-Springfield PFSP states that Eugene and Springfield and their respective utility branches,Eugene Water &Electric Board(EWEB)and Springfield Utility Board(SUB),shall ultimately be the water service providers within their respective urban growth boundary. The requested annexation is consistent with this adopted policy. Finding: The territory requested for annexation is currently within the service area of the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District. The rural Fire District has a contractual service arrangement with Eugene-Springfield Fire Department for provision of fire response to unincorporated areas of southeast Springfield. After the public hearing and Council adoption of the annexation Ordinance, the annexation area will be withdrawn from the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District consistent with ORS 222.520 and 222.524 and the City of Springfield will provide fire and life safety services to the annexation area via the consolidated Eugene-Springfield Fire department. Approval Standard: In accordance with Policy 33 of the Springfield Comprehensive Plan Urbanization Element, SUB is the exclusive water service provider within the Springfield city limits. Finding: There is no rural water service district in this area of southeast Springfield. Therefore,upon annexation, the City by and through the Springfield Utility Board will provide water service to the annexation area. Further,to facilitate continued development of the Woodland Ridge neighborhood,the applicant and SUB must extend water system facilities into the subject property from the adjoining Pinehurst neighborhood following annexation to Springfield. Finding: In accordance with Policy 34 of the Springfield Comprehensive Plan Urbanization Element, when unincorporated territory within the UGB is provided with any new urban service, that service shall be provided by one of the following methods in this priority order: a)Annexation to City;or b) Contractual annexation agreements with City. Finding: In accordance with Policy 35 of the Springfield Comprehensive Plan Urbanization Element, the City shall not extend water or wastewater service outside City limits to serve a residence or business without first obtaining a valid annexation petition,a consent to annex agreement,or when a health hazard abatement annexation is required. Finding: The requested annexation is to facilitate future subdivision of buildable lots and construction of residential dwellings in the Phases 5 through 8 areas of Woodland Ridge. The site will require sanitary sewer service for planned residential development and the Jasper Trunk sewer line runs along the southern boundary of the annexation area. Because of the existing public sanitary sewer trunk line, this key service will be immediately available upon annexation to the City-which is consistent with Policy 34. There is no proposal to extend sewer or water to a non- annexed area. Further discussion about the water system is found in Section C below. Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with Criterion B of SDC 5.7.140. C. The proposed annexation will result in a boundary in which the minimum level of key urban facilities and services as defined in the Metro Plan can be provided in an orderly efficient and timely manner; and Approval Standard: In accordance with Policy 29 of the Springfield Comprehensive Plan Urbanization Element, annexation shall continue to be a prerequisite for urban development and the delivery of City services in accordance with the Springfield Comprehensive Plan and Springfield Development Code. Approval Standard: In accordance with Policy 31 of the Springfield Comprehensive Plan Urbanization Element, key urban facilities and services are defined as wastewater service; stormwater service; transportation; solid waste Ordinance No.6474 Exhibit D Page 5 of 8 management; water service; fire and emergency medical services; police protection; citywide park and recreation programs; electric service; land use controls; communication facilities; and public schools on a districtwide basis. Approval Standard: In accordance with Policy 32 of the Sprineld Comprehensive Plan Urbanization Element, urban services provided by the City upon annexation to Springfield include storm and sanitary sewer, water; transportation systems; police and fire protection; planning, building, code enforcement and library services; and public infrastructure maintenance of City owned or operated facilities. Finding: The territory requested for annexation is contiguous with the City limits line along the western,northern and northeastern boundary. The proposal meets the contiguity requirements for the purpose of advancing this annexation request. Urban utilities including water and electricity have been extended along the adjacent Holly Street rights-of-way (to the east and west of the subject annexation area), the Pinehurst Street right-of-way (to the east of the subject annexation area),and a sanitary sewer trunk line is already installed within the annexation area to serve future residential subdivision phases. Therefore,the urban service delivery systems are already available and in place or can be logically extended from points on the periphery to serve the subject property. The following urban utilities,facilities and services are either available or can be extended to this annexation area: Water — The Springfield Utility Board operates the public water utility system within incorporated areas of the Westwind,Woodland Ridge,Pinehurst and other adjacent neighborhoods in southeast Springfield. As noted above, SUB is the exclusive water service provider for properties within the City limits. Upon annexation, the subject property will be eligible to receive SUB Water service. The annexation territory straddles the Level 1 and Level 2 pressure zones for the SUB Water system. To the west, l2-inch water lines have been installed within the Woodland Ridge Phase 3 and 4 subdivision phases and the water lines are currently stubbed out to the edge of the annexation area. The 12-inch water lines will be extended along Cedar View Drive and Holly Street as development proceeds eastward. To the east, 8-inch and 12-inch water lines have been stubbed out at Holly Street where it terminates just west of South 54'1i Street. Similarly, 8-inch and 12-inch water lines have also been stubbed out at Pinehurst Street where it terminates just west of South 54t1i Street. Because of the transition to a new water system pressure zone, extension of water lines from the adjacent Pmehurst neighborhood to the east will be required to facilitate further residential development within the subject annexation area. Additionally,the extension of water lines from Pinehurst will require the developer to obtain participation and/or concurrence from the owner of an intervening 20-foot wide panhandle driveway that lies between the Pinehurst neighborhood and the annexation area. Provision for extension of public utilities from the adjacent Pinehurst neighborhood is outlined in the Annexation Agreement for the subject property. Electricity — SUB owns and operates underground electrical transmission lines that have been stubbed out on the eastern and western edges of the annexation area at Holly Street, Cedar View Drive and Pinehurst Street. Upon annexation of the subject territory, electrical system facilities can be extended to serve future residential subdivision phases of Woodland Ridge. Existing electrical system infrastructure within the public rights-of-way and easements will continue to be maintained by the affected utility provider. Police Services—Springfield Police Department currently provides service to areas of southeast Springfield that are already inside the City limits. The annexation territory is currently within the jurisdiction of the Lane County Sheriffs Department. Upon annexation, this area will receive Springfield Police services on an equal basis with other properties inside the City. Fire and Emergency Services—Fire protection is currently provided to the annexation area by Eugene-Springfield Fire Department under contract with the Willakenzie Rural Fire Protection District. Upon annexation,the property will be withdrawn from the rural fire district and the Eugene-Springfield Fire Department will directly provide fire and emergency services to the subject territory. Emergency medical transport(ambulance) services are provided on a metro-wide basis by the Eugene-Springfield Fire Department. The annexation area will continue to receive this service consistent with the adopted ambulance service area (ASA) plan. Mutual aid agreements have been adopted by the three regional ASA providers to provide backup coverage for each other's jurisdictions. Ordinance No. 6474 Exhibit D Page 6 of 8 Parks and Recreation—Park and recreation services are provided within the City of Springfield by the Willamalane Park& Recreation District. The park district operates several indoor recreation facilities, such as the Willamalane Park Swim Center,Lively Park Swim Center,Bob Keefer Center for Sports and Recreation,and Willamalane Adult Activity Center. The park district offers various after-school and other programs for children at schools and parks throughout the community. Also available are pathways and several categories of parks,including community parks, sports parks, special use parks,and natural area parks. The initial phases of the Woodland Ridge neighborhood abut the former Weyerhaeuser haul road which has been converted to a linear park and multi-use pathway system. The subject property is identified as a potential location for a new neighborhood park serving the Woodland Ridge subdivision area(Project S17, Willamalane Comprehensive Plan). Annexation of the subject territory would be the initial step in developing the site with urban uses including streets and utilities,residential dwellings, and park and recreation facilities. Concurrent with annexation to the City of Springfield,the subject property will be annexed to the Willamalane Park &Recreation District consistent with City policy, an intergovernmental agreement between the City of Springfield and Lane County,and the adopted Willamalane Comprehensive Plan. Library Services —Upon annexation to the City of Springfield, the subject area will be served by the Springfield Public Library. Schools — The Springfield School District serves this area of southeast Springfield. The Springfield School District has capacity to serve the annexation area in its current configuration and as the Woodland Ridge neighborhood continues to develop in the future. Approximately 135 residential lots would be created upon subdivision of the annexation territory and it is expected that this will generate additional school-age population in the neighborhood. The site is close to the future Jasper Natron school site off Bob Straub Parkway and Quartz Avenue. As residential development continues to progress in southeast Springfield it will generate the need for additional and upgraded school facilities. Sanitary Sewer — The annexation territory contains a section of the existing Jasper Trunk sewer line. The trunk sewer line is designed and sized to serve full buildout of residential, commercial and industrial-zoned properties within the City's southeastern UGB. Currently, only a fraction of the sewer catchment area is annexed and developed with urban uses that contribute flows to the sewer system. As such, the existing trunk sewer line has sufficient capacity to accommodate domestic sewage flows from the entire Woodland Ridge Phases 3-8 area. The draft Annexation Agreement prepared for the property includes provisions for connecting to the Jasper Trunk sewer line (Attachment 2,Exhibit C). Stormwater — The subject annexation territory is not currently served by a public Stormwater management system although there are piped facilities that have been extended to the perimeter within Woodland Ridge Phases 3 and 4 and Pinehurst. There is currently nearly 100%pervious surface on the subject property because it is a grassy field. With future residential development on the property the applicant will be required to manage Stormwater on the site to the greatest extent possible,including provision for treatment and infiltration of runoff. Overflow to the public Stormwater system may be allowable depending on the final on-site Stormwater system design prepared by the applicant and as permitted under the City's Stormwater development regulations in effect on the date of submittal. Review and approval of the proposed Stormwater system will be done in conjunction with future Public Improvement Project(PIP)processes for construction of public streets and utilities necessary to serve the residential subdivision phases. Streets—The western boundary of the subject annexation area abuts a stub of Holly Street, which is classified as an urban collector street. The eastern boundary of the annexation area is proximate to another stub of Holly Street within the Pinehurst subdivision. A stub of Pmehurst Street is also extended to a point near the southeastern boundary of the annexation area. Subdivision and residential development of the subject annexation area is predicated on extending public streets from points on or near the perimeter to provide interconnectivity of the street system, secondary emergency access, and traffic balancing onto the City's street network. Extension of Holly Street and Pinehurst Street westward from their current termination points near South 54th Street will require concurrence and/or participation of the property owner of an intervening 20-foot wide panhandle driveway between Pinehurst and the subject annexation area. Provision for extension of public streets necessary to serve the Ordinance No. 6474 Exhibit D Page 7 of 8 annexation area is detailed in the Annexation Agreement for the property. In addition to physical extension of existing public streets into the annexation area,the applicant will be responsible for a proportional contribution to certain off-site transportation improvements. For the Woodland Ridge neighborhood,traffic from the subdivision phases disperses onto the local transportation network including Daisy Street and Bob Straub Parkway. The intersection of Daisy Street and Bob Straub Parkway has been identified as requiring future improvements to accommodate increasing volumes of traffic, including vehicles from the Woodland Ridge neighborhood. The intersection improvements could include reconfiguration into a roundabout intersection,installation of traffic signals or other measures. Because Bob Straub Parkway is a Lane County facility and Daisy Street is within Springfield's jurisdiction, these future intersection improvements will be jointly coordinated between the two governments. The Annexation Agreement for the subject property,which constitutes the Phases 5-8 area of Woodland Ridge, includes a formula for determining the developer's proportional share of future off-site intersection improvements at the Daisy Street and Bob Straub Parkway intersection (Attachment 2, Exhibit Q. The formula is based on the projected share of traffic from the Woodland Ridge neighborhood when compared with total traffic volumes in the area. The proportional share used in the formula is based on traffic volume calculations from the applicant's Traffic Impact Study for Woodland Ridge. Currently,there is no planned or approved project for intersection improvements at Daisy Street and Bob Straub Parkway so the developer will be satisfying their obligation through a monetary contribution to this future transportation project. Solid Waste Mang ement—The City and Sa ipac have an exclusive franchise arrangement for garbage service inside the City limits. Upon annexation,solid waste disposal service would be provided by Sampac. Communication Facilities—Various providers offer both wired and wireless communication services in the Eugene- Springfield metropolitan area. Existing providers and those entering the market have the capability to provide service to this area. Land Use Controls — The annexation area is within Springfield's urban growth boundary. Through an intergovernmental agreement between Lane County and the City of Springfield,the City already has planning and building jurisdiction for unincorporated areas of Springfield. The City will continue to administer land use controls after annexation. Finding: The minimum level of key urban facilities and services, as outlined in the Springfield Comprehensive Plan Urbanization Element are available to the site, or there is sufficient capacity that will exist at the time of development. Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with Criterion C of SDC 5.7.140. D. Where applicable, fiscal impacts to the City have been mitigated through an Annexation Agreement or other mechanism approved by the City Council. Finding: The area proposed for annexation is a vacant property currently zoned for R-1 residential use. The subject annexation area represents a"bridge"between the developed portions of Westwind and Woodland Ridge to the west and the existing Pinehurst neighborhood to the east. Future subdivision and construction of the Phases 5-8 area of Woodland Ridge will eventually provide a continuous extension of Holly Street from South 48t1i Street through to South 55" Street. As discussed in Subsection C (above), because there will be anticipated off-site transportation impacts the developer is responsible for a proportional share of future intersection improvements at Daisy Street and Bob Straub Parkway. The amount of this contribution has been determined through a formula detailed in the Annexation Agreement, which is an amount proportional to the development impacts of the proposed annexation. Other provisions of the Annexation Agreement state the City and property owner's responsibilities for public improvements,triggering actions,and requirements for provision of urban services to the site. The City and property owner have not yet executed the Agreement and it is attached hereto for reference (Attachment 2,Exhibit Q. Conclusion: Upon execution of the Annexation Agreement,the proposal will meet and comply with Criterion D of SDC 5.7.140. Ordinance No. 6474 Exhibit D Page 8 of 8 City Council Decision (SDC 5.7.145): City Council approval of the annexation application shall be by Ordinance. Finding: The City Council gave first reading of the Annexation Ordinance and held a Public Hearing on February 20, 2024 for the subject annexation request. Based on the staff analysis and recommendations, and on testimony provided at the Public Hearing, the City Council may now take action to approve, modify, or deny the Annexation Ordinance at the regular meeting on March 4,2024. Zoning (SDC 5.7.150): The area requested for annexation is zoned and designated R-1 Residential District in accordance with the Springfield Zoning Map and the adopted Springfield Comprehensive Plan diagram. Properties that are outside the City limits have the Urbanizable Fringe Overlay District(UF-10) applied to the zoning. Upon the effective date of the annexation, the OF-10 overlay will be automatically removed and the property will retain the R-1 zoning. Effective Date and Notice of Approved Annexation (SDC 5.7.155): The subject annexation request was presented to the City Council for consideration at a public hearing on February 20,2024. Second reading and potential adoption of the annexation Ordinance is scheduled for March 4,2024. The anticipated date of Council adoption is within 90 days of the upcoming May election. Therefore,the annexation and special district withdrawal will become effective on the day following the upcoming general election (May 22, 2024), or upon acknowledgement of filing with the Secretary of State—whichever date is later. Withdrawal from Special Service Districts (SDC 5.7.160): Withdrawal from special districts may occur concurrently with the approved annexation Ordinance or after the effective date of the annexation of territory to the City. The Director shall recommend to the City Council for consideration of the withdrawal of the annexed territory from special districts as specified in ORS 222. In determining whether to withdraw the territory, the City Council shall determine whether the withdrawal is in the best interest of the City.
