January 18, 2024 Andy Limbird, Senior Planner City of Springfield, 225 Fifth Street, Springfield, OR 97477 Re: 811-23-000286-PRE, Helfrich Annexation (17-03-24-42-05202) Listed below are our comments for the above referenced proposal: 1. Rainbow Water District (Rainbow) is the current water service provider for this parcel, and contracts with Eugene Springfield Fire to provide fire protection and emergency services. 2. Rainbow understands applicant desires to develop the property and a septic system is not authorized by Lane County due to the proximity of public sewer, so applicant has requested annexation into the City of Springfield to enable connection to the city wastewater system. 3. Upon annexation into the City of Springfield, Rainbow Water District will initiate a process to transfer the customer to the Springfield Utility Board, the City’s chartered water provider, within 3-15 months. Water provider transfers are performed in accordance with ORS 222.465. For an annexation ordinance enacted between April 1, 2024 and April 1, 2025, Rainbow will continue to serve the customer until a transfer to the Springfield Utility Board is completed on July 1, 2025. 4. Springfield Utility Board requirements will be imposed as a development condition even as Rainbow Water District continues to provide water service during the provider transition. 5. The nearest water supply is a 6-inch Rainbow main on the south side of Hayden Bridge Stub that ends in a flush point at the northeast corner of the referenced parcel. Rainbow understands the intention is to construct a single family residence at this time, although the size of the parcel and the availability of public sewer could facilitate a higher density development in the future. 6. A water main extension of approximately 333 feet is not desirable at this time as the large dead-end line would create water quality problems. A possible outcome is that a single new water service and meter could be extended by Rainbow from the location of the flush point at the northeast corner of the property for now, provided applicant agrees to SUB conditions to support a future water main extension to allow connection with 17-03-24-31-02000 and development of either large parcel. 7. Please contact Rainbow Water District at 541-746-1676 if you have any questions.

The following are the responses to the Completeness Review items. The City items are in regular typeface and my responses are in italics. Planning Notes 1. Lane County Tax Records assign a total assessed value of $175,152 to the property. This assessed value has been added to the Ownership Worksheet. 2. A redline Tax Assessor’s map showing the annexation boundary starting at a true point of beginning and proceeding in a series of numbered courses (including bearings and distances) will be required with the application submittal. Chris Morehead, City of Springfield, volunteered to produce this document which will also include Hayden Bridge Road right of way north of the property. 3. Because there are public improvements required to serve the subject property an Annexation Agreement will be required for this annexation request. The written statement has been revised to reflect this requirement. The client has been given the Annexation Agreement document and will mail the original signed and notarized copy to the city. Additional Comments not related to the completeness of the application: · As of March 1, 2024 the applicable comprehensive plan is the Springfield Comprehensive Plan. Metro Plan is no longer applicable. The written statement has been revised to reflect this change. · On the supplemental information sheet staff recommends indicating that Yes, there are development plans associated with the proposed annexation. The ‘Yes’ box has been checked. The client plans to build a duplex on the property. · Staff recommends citing the adopted Springfield Comprehensive Plan – Urbanization Element and Residential Land and Housing Element in the narrative. The written statement has been revised to include revisions that cite these sections of the Springfield Comprehensive Plan.
