Thurston Rd Utility Narrative
WASTEWATER:
Per Springfield's GIS map, there is an existing 15"wastewater trunk line that runs
within the Thurston Road right of way to the eastern property line of T.L. 2600.This
existing system can be extended to the eastern edge of T.L. 3200 and provide service
stubs to the properties fronting-Thurston Road..
Preliminary engineering shows this wastewater line is deep enough to provide
service to tax lots 3200 and 33603 which are proposed for annexation. There is
also an existing wastewater line at the North end of 74th Street that can also be
extended to serve a portion of tax lot 3603.
In discussion with Springfield Public Works staff, the existing wastewater systems
discussed above have sufficient capacity to serve the development of the subject
property, therefore this criterion is met.
STORMWATER:
There are multiple open drainage stormwater systems in the area of the property to
be annexed that provide destination for treated stormwater.
75'Street Creek is an existing open ditch that flows to the North through the
property, eventually routing water through culverts under Thurston Road to South
Cedar Creek on the North side of Thurston Road.
Gray Creek is an existing open ditch on the South end of the property that flows
West to another existing ditch system West of Thurston Elementary School. This
ditch then flows North to a culvert under Thurston Road that routes to South Cedar
Creek.
Since both the open ditches are designated as either a WQLQ stream or a water of
the State, water quality treatment will be incorporated into the onsite stormwater
management systems to meet DEQ requirements prior to discharge offsite.
In addition, detention will be incorporated into the design of the onsite stormwater
management facilities to keep post-construction peak flows below the existing
condition.
Existing stormwater systems available to the site can be utilized with appropriate
onsite design, therefore this criterion is met.
Ordinance No. 6481
Exhibit B
Page 15 of 17
WATER:
Based on preliminary survey data from AKS Engineering and EGR &Associates,
there are existing water lines at the Northwest corner of T.L. 2700 in the Thurston
Road right of way. There is also an existing water line that is located at the North
end of 70 Street in the right of way.-The water lines can be extended from the
existing locations to serve the entire development for domestic use and fire
protection. The water system can be looped"from Thurston Road to 74th Street to
provide a reliable system.
There is adequate water facilities to serve the development, therefore this criterion
is met.
FRANCHISE UTILITIES:
SUB Electric—There are existing electric facilities at both the North and South end of
the subject site. An overhead electric line is located on the North side of Thurston
Road along the full frontage of tax lot 3200. There is also an underground electric
system at the North end of 74th Street. There is adequate service adjacent to the
property to serve future development.
Comcast Cable—There are existing cable/internet facilities at both the North and
South end of the subject site. An overhead line is located on the North side of
Thurston Road along the full frontage of tax lot 3200. There is also an underground
system at the North end of 74th Street. There is adequate service adjacent to the
property to serve future development.
Lumen—There are existing phone/internet facilities at both the North and South end
of the subject site. An overhead line is located on the North side of Thurston Road
along the full frontage of tax lot 3200. There is also an underground system at the
North end of 74th Street. There is adequate service adjacent to the property to
serve future development.
Northwest Natural Gas—Based on NW Natural service maps, there is existing
natural gas service to Thurston Elementary School in Thurston Road west of the
property. There is also natural gas service in the existing subdivision to the South,
but does not extend to the North end of 74th Street. Natural gas is available to the
property, but would require offsite extension of facilities.
Therefore, this criterion is met.

Development& Public Works Department
ANNEXATION AGREEMENT
This Annexation Agreement("Agreement") is made between the City of Springfield, an
Oregon municipal corporation(the"CITY") and Jim and Carlie Straub Family Trust("STRAUB").
RECITALS
A. STRAUB owns the parcel of land legally described in Exhibit A,the Property (also
identified as Assessor's Map No. 17-02-35-00, Tax Lots 3603 and 3200). The Property is
contiguous with the Springfield city limits and is subject to annexation by the CITY of
Springfield.
B. STRAUB filed an annexation petition for the Property to the CITY and seeks support from
the CITY for the annexation.
C. STRAUB does not intend to develop the Property itself and has entered into a real estate
contract with a developer, who intends to construct approximately 390 residential units (both
single- and multi-unit)on the Property (the "Project"). A conceptual design of the Project is
attached as Appendix A. STRAUB's obligations in this agreement shall extend to the
developer of the planned residential project.
D. The Property is inside the Urban Growth Boundary of the CITY. The Property is within the
Urbanizable Fringe Overlay District(UF-10) according to the Springfield Zoning Map, and
the underlying zoning is R-1 Residential District.
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 STRAUB 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, stormwater
(00033568:1) ANNEXATION AGREEMENT—Page 1 of 7
Ordinance No. 6481
Exhibit C
Page 2 of 7
management systems, interconnected transportation systems, and Fire and Life Safety
services necessary for an affirmative CITY recommendation for the annexation request.
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.
• An existing public sanitary sewer system is located in Thurston Road but not yet
extended to the Property's frontage along Thurston Road. This line is the designated
trunk line for this area and has sufficient capacity for development of the Property
under existing R-1 zoning.
• The Project intends to connect to this trunk line at the intersection of Thurston Road
and an extension of 74th Street.
• An existing sanitary sewer connection may be available to the Property at the end of
74th Street on the southwest corner of the site.
• A sewer line is extended to the east adjacent to the site in tax lot 17-02-35-41-01100,
which is currently owned by Berian Assembly of God and is addressed as 147 75th
Street. Direct access is not currently available to the site but this line could also be
used for sewer connection if sufficient property rights are obtained.
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.
• A public storm drain line extends to this site from the south at the end of 741h Street
at the Property's southwest corner. This line can be extended as far to the north as
topography allows for drainage of the southern half of tax lot 3603.
The Property drains into Gray Creek along its southern boundary and 751h Street
Creek on the east side of the Property that constitute the storm drain system for this
area in Thurston.
1. An interconnected transportation system capable of serving the existing and proposed land
uses in the vicinity of the Property is also required in order to provide access and fire and
life safety services to and from the Property.
• Tax lot 3200 has legal and physical access to Thurston Road along the northern
boundary. Thurston Road consists of an asphalt mat paving with striping and is
otherwise unimproved. Thurston Road is under the jurisdiction of Lane County in
this area.
• Thurston Road is classified as a Minor Arterial roadway and is not improved to
current CITY standards. A portion of Thurston Road will be annexed concurrently
with the tax lot 3200.
• The end of 74th Street abuts the Property's south boundary. Tax lot 17-02-35-00-
2700 (currently addressed as 7399 Thurston Road) has an approved subdivision plan
(Thurston Estates) which contemplates extension of the 74th Street alignment from
Thurston Road to the south line of tax lot 2700.
J. A public water system with sufficient capacity to serve the Property is necessary to support a
finding that this key urban service is available to serve the Property. Water services are
provided by the Springfield Utility Board (SUB), a municipal utility,and SUB has stated
there is capacity to serve future development on the Property. STRAUB will work with
(00033568:11 ANNEXATION AGREEMENT—Page 2 of 7
Ordinance No. 6481
Exhibit C
Page 3 of 7
SUB to determine the requirements for water infrastructure to serve the Property. Any
system development charge(SDC) credits or other reimbursements for providing excess
water system capacity, if required by SUB, will be subject to SUB policies and state law.
K. 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 in exchange for the obligations of
the CITY set forth below, STRAUB shall comply with all requirements imposed on
STRAUB 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. STRAUB's Obligations. STRAUB agrees to perform the obligations set forth in this section.
1.1. Upon recordation of a final plat, STRAUB shall dedicate public rights-of-way to terminate
at the Property boundary, in the following locations:
I.I.I. To Thurston Road at tax lot 17-02-35-03200;
1.1.2. To the southern extension of the future planned road on tax lot 17-02-35-00-02700;
and
1.1.3. To the Property's southern boundary to align with the northern terminus of 70
Street. STRAUB shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain connectivity
between the Property and 741h Street to the south. If such a connection cannot be made
within a reasonable time (not to exceed two years after completion of development of
the Property), STRAUB and the CITY shall cooperate to obtain access from the
Property to 74th Street.
1.1.4. In consultation with the Springfield School District, STRAUB shall provide at least
one stub-street connection to the eastern lot currently owned by the Springfield School
District(tax lot 17-02-36-20-00403).
1.2. STRAUB shall improve the full frontage of Thurston Road along the frontage of tax lot
3200 with full urban improvements to include paving width sufficient for CITY Standard
minor arterial typical section, curb and gutter, street trees, setback sidewalk and any
required street lighting.
1.3. STRAUB shall extend the Thurston trunk line sewer to the eastern edge of tax lot 3200 and
install sewer mains as needed to tax lot 3603. An alternative route of the trunk line shall be
allowed through the Property via the extension of 74th Street, if an upstream study shows
the depth of the line is adequate to serve future development to the East. The CITY may
require the 8-inch sewer lines to be up-sized to accommodate future development of other
properties. As an alternative to a 15-inch extension of the trunk line, whether in Thurston
Road or through the Property, STRAUB may utilize a smaller line for this extension if it
(00033568:1) ANNEXATION AGREEMENT—Page 3 of 7
Ordinance No. 6481
Exhibit C
Page 4 of 7
provides an analysis, according to Chapter 2 of the Springfield Engineering Design
Standards &Procedures Manual,that shows there is adequate reserve capacity.
1.4. STRAUB shall be responsible for the costs of installation of any 8-inch sewer line
necessary to serve development on the Property, subject to Sections 2.2 and 2.3, below.
1.5. In determining STRAUB's share of costs for the improvements described in this
Agreement, the full cost for the provision of the improvements at the time of construction
shall be used. For the purposes of this Agreement,the full cost shall include design,
construction, acquisition of land and/or easements, studies, permits from all agencies
having jurisdiction, attorney's fees, and all other costs reasonably associated with the
implementation of the needed improvements.
2. Obligations of the CITY. Consistent with the above Recitals, the CITY agrees to:
2.1 Process the annexation request and support annexation of the Property to the CITY before
the Common Council, and support STRAUB's defense of any appeal of a decision to the
CITY. However,the CITY will not assume any financial responsibility to provide legal
counsel on appeal.
2.2 The CITY shall reimburse to STRAUB all additional costs of up-sizing the sewer line
referenced above in Section 1.4 beyond an 8-inch diameter line, or shall grant STRAUB an
equivalent value of SDC credits,which credits shall be applicable to residential building
permits for construction on the Property. Upon a properly made request by STRAUB, the
CITY shall allow a reimbursement district to be established that will transfer to STRAUB
sewer connection fees received by the City for the development of other properties that
connect to the new sewer main[s] and extended trunk line. Provided, however, nothing in
this section supersedes any requirements of the Springfield Municipal Code Chapter 3
related to SDC credits or formation of a reimbursement district.
2.3 Subject to the procedural requirements in ORS 223.309, CITY shall add the Thurston
Trunk line sewer as a capital project on its Capital Improvement Plan ("CIP") if it is not
already listed on the CIP, in order to ensure that its extension is eligible for wastewater
SDC credits. The CITY shall award to STRAUB wastewater SDC credits for the extension
of the Thurston Trunk line sewer beyond the length necessary to connect to the sewer
mains that will be proposed within the Property(i.e. beyond the anticipated connection
point near the intersection of Thurston Road and 74th Street). If the SDC credits do not
fully offset the costs of the extension of such trunk line beyond this connection point, the
CITY shall reimburse the costs of such additional extension, as those costs are determined
by section 1.5, above.
2.4 The CITY shall award transportation, local wastewater, and stormwater SDC credits for
any qualified public improvements, including those contemplated in this Agreement. Such
SDC credits shall be transferrable between STRAUB, the developer of the property, and
any related business entities of the same. Otherwise, SDC credits shall be transferrable as
described in SMC 3.417.

Ordinance No. 6481
Exhibit C
Page 5 of 7
3. Covenants Running with the Land. It is the intention of the parties that the obligations and
benefits pertaining to STRAUB shall pertain to any future developer of the Property. The
obligations herein shall run with the Property and shall be binding upon the heirs, executors,
assigns, administrators, and successors of the parties hereto, and shall be construed to be a
benefit to and burden upon the Property. This Agreement shall be recorded, at STRAUB's
expense, upon its execution in the Lane County Deeds and Records. This Agreement may be
assigned by STRAUB and shall benefit any assigns or successors in interest to STRAUB.
Execution of this Agreement is a precondition to annexation of the Property. The CITY retains
all rights for enforcement of this Agreement.
4. Limitations on the Development. No portion of the Property shall be further developed prior to
building permit approval, partition, subdivision, or other applicable development permit, for the
proposed development.
5. Mutual Cooperation. CITY and STRAUB shall endeavor to mutually cooperate with each other
in implementing the various matters contained herein.
6. Waiver of Right of Remonstrance. Provided the CITY approves land use applications for a
project or projects requiring the public improvements identified in this Agreement, STRAUB
agrees to sign any and all waivers, petitions, consents, and all other documents necessary to
obtain the public facilities and services specifically described herein, under any Improvement
Act or proceeding of the State of Oregon, Lane County, or the CITY, and to waive all rights to
remonstrate against these improvements. The above notwithstanding, STRAUB specifically
reserves any and all rights it would ordinarily have concerning the adequacy of system
development charge credits or cash reimbursements from the CITY, the adequacy of a local
improvement district or reimbursement district(whether initiated by the Applicant, CITY or
other person or entity), or any other mechanism intended to equitably offset the costs of public
improvements constructed by STRAUB. STRAUB also specifically reserves its rights to
participate in any approval process, appeal, or litigation related to the same.
7. Modification of Agreement. This Agreement may only be modified in writing signed by both
parties. Any modifications to this Agreement shall require the approval of the Springfield
Common Council. The City shall cooperate reasonably with Straub on appropriate amendments
to this Agreement should the Project prove infeasible or require redesign.
8. Land Use. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as waiving any requirements of the
Springfield Development Code or Springfield Municipal Code which may be applicable to the
use and development of this Property. Nothing herein shall be construed as CITY providing or
agreeing to provide approval of any building, land use, or other development application or
Land and Drainage Alteration Program (LDAP)permit application submitted by STRAUB.
STRAUB is responsible for obtaining, at STRAUB's expense, all State and/or Federal permits
and any other approvals as may be required.
9. Dolan. STRAUB knows and understands any rights it may have under the 5`h Amendment of
the US Constitution for just compensation for public exactions or improvements, as interpreted
in Dolan v. CITYof Tigard, 512 US 374(1994) and subsequent cases interpreting the legal
effect of Dolan. STRAUB hereby waives any requirement that the CITY demonstrate the
public improvements specifically described herein are roughly proportional to the burden and
(00033568:1) ANNEXATION AGREEMENT—Page 5 of 7
Ordinance No. 6481
Exhibit C
Page 6 of 7
demands placed upon the urban facilities and services by the development and to the impacts of
the development of the Property. STRAUB reserves any 51h Amendment rights it would
ordinarily have under Dolan and its progeny with respect to public improvements, improvement
costs, reimbursements, SDC credits, or any other obligation or offsetting benefit not specifically
described herein. For these purposes, "specifically described" means a description of an
improvement, fee, or other exaction, or reimbursement, SDC credit, or offsetting benefit that is
stated with enough information to reasonably enable a developer to estimate its cost or value

Review Process (SDC 5.7.115): The subject annexation request is being reviewed under Type 4 Annexation
procedures,without Planning Commission consideration.
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 multiple applicant submittals,the City held a Development Initiation Meeting on May 31,
2022 (File 811-22-000103-PRE) and another Development Initiation Meeting on June 13, 2023 (File 811-23-
000103-PRE). Subsequently, a completeness check meeting for the annexation request was held on March 1, 2024
(File 811-24-000052-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
Ordinance No.6481
Exhibit D
Page 2 of 8
more than half the assessed value of all real property in the contiguous territory consent in writing to the annexation
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 two separate
tax lots with an aggregate area of approximately 29.9 acres. The property is bounded on the north by a segment of
Thurston Road;on the west by the Thurston Elementary School site;on the south by private properties off 74'Street,
B Street and 75' Street; and on the east by Bob Artz Park. The property is vacant and has been used previously for
agriculture. There is no developed access to the property although it is proximate to public rights-of-way at 74'
Street and Thurston Road. The subject property is inside the Springfield Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) and it
is contiguous to the City limits along the southern, western and eastern boundaries. The purpose for annexing
the property is to facilitate the extension of public streets and utilities for future land division and development
of residential dwellings on the property.
Concurrent with annexation of the subject property, staff is recommending annexation of a 60-foot wide by
approximately 1,175-foot long segment of Thurston Road. The purpose of this recommended annexation is to
facilitate extension of urban utilities along this corridor to serve the subject property. Annexation of the public
right-of-way is also a necessary step toward future jurisdictional transfer of the street from Lane County to the
City.
Current zoning for the property is R-1 Residential District 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(City of Springfield and Lane County), and Fire (Eugene-Springfield Fire under
contract with the McKenzie Fire and Rescue District). Springfield Utility Board(SUB)provides electrical and water
service to incorporated areas of Thurston. SUB Water has an existing waterline within 74'Street near the southwest
corner of the annexation territory. The City has an existing sanitary sewer line stubbed out on Thurston Road near
the northeast corner of the Thurston Elementary School site, and another sanitary sewer line stubbed out on 74t1'
Street north of B Street. Upon annexation,the City of Springfield will be responsible for all urban services for the
property including water and electricity (through SUB), sanitary sewer, stormwater, 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 May 9,2024,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 811-24-000087-TYP4.
Newspaper Notice. Notice of the June 3,2024 public hearing was published in the print version of The Chronicle
on May 23 and 30,2024. 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 June 3, 2024 public hearing was posted in five places in the City: at the northwest
corner of the annexation area near the driveway entrance for 7399 Thurston Road; along the northeast property
frontage on Thurston Road near the driveway entrance for 7655 Thurston Road; at the north end of 74'Street where
Ordinance No.6481
Exhibit D
Page 3 of 8
it terminates north of B Street; on the Public Notices bulletin board in the lobby of City Hall; and on the City's
website. The public hearing notice was also digitally posted on the electronic display in the foyer of the
Development & Public Works office in Springfield City Hall.
Conclusion: Notice of the public hearing was provided consistent with SDC 5.7.130.
Public Testimony Received. Staff responded to one telephone inquiry regarding the annexation request. However,
no written comments were received during the public notification period that started with issuance of mailed notices
on May 9, 2024 and extended through the period of May 30, 2024 when the City Council packet was finalized for
publication.
At the public hearing meeting on June 3,2024,two persons testified about the public notification process used for the
annexation. The respondents expressed concerns that they had not received direct notification of the proposed
annexation and that the proposed housing form for the annexation area could cause traffic and congestion in the
neighborhood. After the conclusion of the meeting,staff met in person with the respondents and provided an overview
of the mailed,posted and digital notification used for the annexation. Staff explained that because the respondents
live more than '/2 mile away from the annexation territory they would not have received direct notification by mail;
that type of mailed notice is for property owners and residents within 300 feet of the site. Staff also clarified that there
are no specific development plans submitted for the property,although there is a prospective residential developer for
the project. Until the property is annexed,no development plans can be considered by the City or made available for
public review. The respondents expressed appreciation for the staff explanation and mentioned that they would
continue following the progress of the property as it moves forward from annexation to future residential development.
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 southern,western, and eastern boundary. Increased contiguity
will be achieved with concurrent annexation of the Thurston Road right-of-way between 7399 and 7655 Thurston
Road. 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.
Ordinance No. 6481
Exhibit D
Page 4 of 8
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 Residential District 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 can apply for extension of public streets and with City services and initiate further development or
redevelopment of the property in accordance with provisions of the City's Development Code.
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-
Springl'ield 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 McKenzie Fire and
Rescue District. The rural fire service district has a contractual service arrangement with Eugene-Springfield Fire
Department for provision of fire response. After the public hearing and Council adoption of the annexation
Ordinance, the annexation area will be withdrawn from the McKenzie Fire and Rescue District consistent with
ORS 222.520 and 222.524 and the City of Springfield by and through the Eugene-Springfield Fire Department will
provide fire and life safety services to the annexation area.
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 to unincorporated areas of Thurston,including the subject property. Upon
annexation,the City by and through the Springfield Utility Board will provide potable water service to the annexation
area.
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 allow for future extension of public streets and utilities from points on the
periphery, and to facilitate phased land division and construction of residential dwellings on the property. There is
no proposal to extend public sewer or water to a non-annexed area. Further discussion about the sanitary sewer and
water system is found in Section C below.
Conclusion: The proposal meets and complies with Criterion B of SDC 5.7.140.
Ordinance No. 6481
Exhibit D
Page 5 of 8
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
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 Springfield 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 southern,western,
and eastern boundary. The proposal meets the contiguity requirements for the purpose of advancing this annexation
request. Urban utilities including water and sanitary sewer are located in Thurston Road near the eastern boundary
of Thurston Elementary School, and on 74'Street north of B Street.
Finding: Recent annexation and approval of a tentative subdivision for property at 7399 Thurston Road will bring
urban utilities closer to the subject property when this project is completed. The prior annexation included a segment
of Thurston Road right-of-way and the developer of this project will be required to extend public utilities and street
improvements to the northeast corner of the site.
Finding: Based on the foregoing, 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 in a timely, orderly, and efficient
manner. 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 Thurston.
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. There is an existing 8-inch water line that is
stubbed out on 74' Street north of B Street near the southwest corner of the annexation territory. A second 8-inch
water line runs along Thurston Road near the northwest edge of the annexation territory. Because of the size of the
annexation territory(nearly 30 acres)and the planned extension of public streets necessary to serve the property,the
applicant will be responsible for providing water line looping within the development area consistent with SUB
Water requirements,which SUB states is feasible to provide at the time of development.
Electricity — SUB owns and operates underground and overhead electrical transmission lines along Main Street,
Thurston Road, 74' Street and 75' Street. The subject property will need to provide for future extension of SUB
electrical lines from points on the periphery and internal to the future development area. The applicant has already
undertaken initial discussions with SUB staff regarding this issue. 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 Thurston 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 McKenzie Fire and Rescue District. Upon annexation,the property will be
withdrawn from the rural fire district and the Eugene-Springfield Fire Department will directly provide fire and
Ordinance No. 6481
Exhibit D
Page 6 of 8
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.
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 subject property abuts Bob Artz Park along the eastern boundary. Conceptual development plans prepared by
the applicant contemplates potential pedestrian connections from the annexation territory to Bob Artz Park and the
Thurston Elementary School. Additionally, the adopted Willamalane Comprehensive Plan identifies future
playground and play field upgrades for Bob Artz Park (Projects S15 and M5). However, the Willamalane
Comprehensive Plan does not identify future or potential park or open space areas within the subject annexation
territory.
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 Thurston. The School District has capacity to serve the
annexation area in its current configuration because there is a public elementary school on the western boundary of the
annexation territory. As future development proceeds,the annexation territory may generate a school-age population.
State law requires Springfield School District to allow enrollment of students within its boundaries. Springfield School
District policy provides for defined attendance areas to reduce building overcrowding and directs the superintendent to
monitor changes to student populations at each school district building to make adjustments to attendance areas as
needed. There is no indication from Springfield School District that public school services will not be immediately
available at the time of development.At the time of future development or redevelopment,the School District will be
referred any land use plans including proposals for land division and residential development that could generate a new
student population on this site.
Sanitary Sewer — The annexation territory is proximate to two sanitary sewer connections: a terminal manhole at
the northern end of 74t1i Street north of B Street,and a terminal manhole in Thurston Road near the northeast corner
of the Thurston Elementary School. Extension of both sanitary sewer lines will be required for full development
of the subject property and this is detailed in the Annexation Agreement prepared for this annexation request. As
stated previously, a prior annexation and approved subdivision plan for 7399 Thurston Road will advance the
sanitary sewer line eastward along Thurston Road. Should this project be delayed or cancelled the applicant will
be required to extend the sanitary sewer line along Thurston Road to the northeast corner of the site near the
boundary with 7655 Thurston Road. The applicant is proposing to phase the residential development which allows
for incremental extension of sanitary sewer lines with the capacity to serve the subject property. The Annexation
Agreement prepared for the property will include provisions for extending the sanitary sewer lines.
Stormwater — The subject annexation territory is not currently served by a public Stormwater management system
although there are piped and open channel facilities outside the southern and western boundary of the property. An
existing watercourse runs generally east to west along the southern edge of the annexation territory. With future
development or redevelopment on the property the applicant will be required to delineate existing wetlands and manage
Stormwater on the site per requirements of the Springfield Development Code, including provision for treatment and
Ordinance No.6481
Exhibit D
Page 7 of 8
infiltration of runoff. Overflow to the public stormwater system on the periphery may be allowable depending on the final
on-site stormwater system design and as permitted under the City's stormwater development regulations in effect on the
date of submittal. Review and approval of any proposed stormwater system(s)will be done in conjunction with future
land use actions for development of the property.
Streets—The northern boundary of the subject annexation area fronts onto Thurston Road,which is classified as
an urban collector street. West of the subject property frontage (near the driveway entrance for Thurston
Elementary School),Thurston Road is developed with curb,gutter,setback sidewalk(on the south side of the street
only), paving, street lighting, discontinuous street trees, striped bicycle lanes and centerline striping for the two-
lane road profile. In accordance with provisions of the Annexation Agreement,the developer must provide for future
Thurston Road frontage improvements including, but not limited to: curb, gutter, sidewalk, street trees, street
lighting,bicycle lanes and piped stormwater facilities. The Annexation Agreement provides for trigger actions that
will necessitate the installation of Thurston Road improvements.
In addition to Thurston Road frontage improvements there will be a requirement for the extension of new public
streets to and through the subject annexation territory. The extension of public streets is required to meet block
length and connectivity standards outlined in the City's Development Code. Extension of public streets also
facilitates the future development or redevelopment of adjoining, non-participating acreage parcels that can be
subdivided into multiple residential lots. To achieve urban residential density for the subject property and adjoining
properties that could develop in the future,an interconnected network of public streets is necessary. Over time,the
provision of local street intersections along Thurston Road will also reduce the number of individual residential
driveway connections on this collector street. For this reason, the Annexation Agreement also discusses internal
public street improvements and potential intersection improvements where these future streets connect to Thurston
Road.
Solid Waste Mang ement—The City and Sampac 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 (UGB). Through an
intergovernmental agreement between Lane County and the City of Springfield,the City already has planning and
building jurisdiction for all portions of Thurston that are inside the UGB,including the unincorporated areas. 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 vacant and not improved with public streets, utilities or any type of
structures. The subject annexation area was previously used as agricultural land for livestock feed crops. All key
public utilities, including sanitary and storm sewer, water, electricity and telecommunications are available on the
nearby public street frontages or in the immediate vicinity of the annexation territory. Future land division and/or
development of the property will trigger provisions of the Annexation Agreement including the property owner's
responsibilities for Thurston Road frontage improvements.
City staff and the applicant met on May 22 to negotiate specific language for the annexation agreement regarding
requirements for dedication of future stormwater facilities, access from 74th Street,and other terms and conditions.
Ordinance No.6481
Exhibit D
Page 8 of 8
Following the May 22 meeting, staff and the City Attorney's office have worked with the applicant and their legal
counsel to prepare a final annexation agreement that is now ready for final execution by the City Manager. The
applicant has signed the agreement and it is included as Attachment C to the annexation ordinance.
Conclusion: Pending final execution of the annexation agreement, it is expected that the proposal will meet and
comply with Criterion D of SDC 5.7.140.
City Council Decision (SDC 5.7.145): City Council approval of the annexation application shall be by
Ordinance.
Finding: The City Council conducted first reading of the Annexation Ordinance and opened the Public Hearing
on June 3, 2024. The City Council continued the public hearing for the subject annexation request to the June 17,
2024 meeting for consideration of the negotiated Annexation Agreement. Based on the staff analysis and
recommendations, and on testimony provided at the Public Hearing, the City Council may now take action to
conclude the public hearing and close the record,and to approve, modify, or deny the Annexation Ordinance at the
June 17,2024 meeting.
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. 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-I Residential zoning.
Effective Date and Notice of Approved Annexation (SDC 5.7.155): The subject annexation request is being
presented to the City Council for consideration at a public hearing on June 3,2024. Second reading and potential adoption
of the annexation Ordinance is scheduled for June 17, 2024. Therefore,the annexation and special district withdrawal
will become effective 30 days after the Ordinance is signed by the Mayor,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. Notice of the withdrawal shall be provided
in the same manner as the annexation notice in SDC 5.7.130.
Finding: The annexation area is within the delineated service territory of McKenzie Fire and Rescue District
(contracted fire response). The Cities of Eugene/Springfield will directly provide fire and emergency services
after annexation. Consistent with SDC 5.7.160, notice was provided for the public hearing on June 3, 2024.
Withdrawal from the McKenzie Fire and Rescue District concurrently with annexation of the territory to the City
of Springfield is in the best interest of the City. The withdrawal from the McKenzie Fire and Rescue District is
necessary to implement Policies 31 and 32 of the Springfield Comprehensive Plan Urbanization Element whereby
annexation is prioritized for the City of Springfield to provide urban services to its incorporated territory,and existing
special service districts within the City's UGB are to be dissolved over time.
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: Based on the provisions of the final Annexation Agreement,
it is expected that this proposal will comply with the annexation criteria of approval listed in SDC 5.7.140.
The Council is requested to conclude the public hearing and close the record at the June 17,2024 meeting.
The Council may then consider adopting the ordinance annexing the subject territory to the City of
Springfield and Willamalane Park and Recreation District and withdrawing the subject territory from the
McKenzie Fire and Rescue District.
Ordinance No. 6481
