, NARRATIVE
. FOR THE
TABOR-GRIFFIN CLUSTER SUBDIVISION
This ~pplication isa proposal to create an I I lot cluster subdivision at 2095 5th Street
(Tax Map 17-03-26-24, Tax Lot 4300). Currently, the site is developed with a'single-family
house, garage and two sheds; these buildings are to be removed, The existing well will remain
for irrigation. In conformance with the Low Density Residential classification of the site, all
parcels will eventually be developed with single family homes and town-homes.
Since 5th Street is fully improved, no off-site improvements are necessary now or in the
future. In order to meet the minimum right-of-way width of 35'for a minor arterial, a future
right-of-way dedication of 5' is proposed from the current right-of-way line for 5th Street. A
proposed Joint Utility Trench along the north property line will connect cable,'
telecommunications and power to all lots, A proposed Irrevocable Joint Use Access driveway
will be 24' wide at the entrance onto 5th Street and 21' wide within the development and will
meet fue code as noted on the tentative plan. An emergency vehicle turnaround is proposed .
within the driveway. "No ParkingIFire Lane" signs shall be installed adjacent to the drive on
both sides of the driveway. The driveway fue access shall be unobstructed per Springfield Fire
Code. The existing fire hydrant located at the southwest corner of 5th Street and "T" Street will
serve all lots.
The proposed fencing for the individual lots have not been determined at this time, but
it's anticipated each lot will have a 4'-5' fence (i.e. see through, white picket), which will clearly
delineate the outdoor area that is separate from the common area. At least 3 street lights, 12' in
height or less, will be installed along the internal driveway. '
The proposed stormwater management system will be a private system and will consist of
a grassy swale and dual chambered catch basin for pretreatment and piped to an existing
manhole. At least fifty percent of the driveway and parking area runoff will drain to a grassy
treatment swale in the southern open area, and routed to an existing storm manhole at the north
edge of the property, The remaining runoff will drain into a two chamber catch basin and then
routed to the same existing storm manhole. The Stormwater Management Plan and Drainage
Study is included with this submittal package. A stormwater maintenance plan for the proposed
treatment system will be provided in the CCR's submitted at the time of Final Plat.
We are proposing the Tabor-Griffin Cluster Subdivision as a phased project. The
tentative schedule for completing phases of the subdivision is as follows:
Phase Tear
I 2009
2 2010
3 2011
These phases will proceed as market conditions dictate, which could affect adjustment in the
tentative phasing plan. An extension may be required in a slow market. The design goal for the
Tabor-Griffin Cluster Subdivision is to construct dwelling units on Lots 1-4, a portion of the
driveway and utilities to serve Phase I. Phase 2 will include development of Lots 5-7 and
extension of the driveway, sidewalk and utilities. Development on the remaining Lots 8-11 and
the extension of the driveway, sidewalk, utilities and construction of the treatment swale will be
completed with Phase 3, Phase] will also include a temporary swale to be constructed from the
proposed catch basin to the existing manhole for stormwater treatment of the project site. The
treatment system will be completed during Phase 3. This phasing strategy 'd~fJI'ffe~~~ty
r . .
, JUN 1 7 2008
. Original Submittal
for the applicant to project attainable development while maintaining a budget for construction
costs. The applicant understands for a phase to be approved for tentative subdivision, on-site
public and private improvements must be sufficient to accommodate each phase, and capacity of
all public facilities must be adequate to serve each phase. .
The proposed subdivision layout was designed to preserve as many significant trees as
possible, especially the cluster within Phase 2: We anticipate removal of 5 trees will occUr
during building construction of the driveway and future town-home construction in Phases 1 and
2.
The City of Springfield Code requires 2 parking spaces per dwelling unit. The applicant
proposes 2 spaces per dwelling unit for the five single-family detached units. For the attached
townhouse units, applicant proposes a total of 6 parking spaces for' the four townhouse units
fronting 5th Street and 4 parking spaces for 'the two townhouse units fronting the joint access
driveway. This would be a reduction of 2 spaces. Based on ITE's Parking Generation (3'd
Edition), the average peak period parking demand is 1.46 vehicles parked per dwelling unit for
townhouses (Land Use Group: 230). .
The Lane County Soil Survey shows the site as having Saiem-Urban Land Comp]ex
(119). The Soil Survey indicates that Salem-Urban Land Complex has a high water table greater
than 6 feet. This unit is used mainly as homesites and for urban development. It is also used for
yards and open areas between buildings.
This project does'not require any additional planning applications. Applicable approval
criteria are addressed as follows:
3.2-230 Cluster Subdivision
E. Adjustments to Dimensional Standards. Cluster Subdivisions allow reduced lot
sizes and setback standards for individual lots, as specified in Subsection A.
EXCEPTIONS:
1. The perimeter of the development shall meet the LDR setback specified in
Section 3.25-215.
The proposed development meets LDR setback standards.
2. . No increase in building height is 'permitted.
The maximum building height for the LDR zoning district is 30 '. This will be met
at the time of final building design.
3. Solar protection for abutting LDR' properties north of the proposed
development is required.
Lot 1 and 11 apply to this criterion; both lots meet the solar setback standards.
Lot 1: The solar setback is 12.5', based on an assumption of a 30' building
height. The roof ridgeline for the proposed duplex is undetermined; however,
Date Received:

!1':'
f
JUN 1 7 2008
Original Svpmittal
when calculating the solar setback at either the south l[it line or at the center of
the dwelling unit, each dimension places the shade area inside Lot 1.
Lot 11: The solar setback is 26.25', based on an assumption of a 30' building
. height. This would place the shade area inside Lot 11. .
4. The maximum lot coverage of the net development area shall meet the lot
coverage standards of Section 3.2-215. .
The maximum lot/parcel coverage for the LDR zoning district is 45 percent. The
proposed buildings do not exceed the lot/parcel coverage standard.
5. Where zero lot line construction is 'used, spacing between buildings or
clusters of buildings shall be at least 10 feet.
There are four proposed buildings with zero lot lines. All proposed buildings
meet the spacing standards of 10 feet.
F. Neighborhood Compatibility. New single-family detached, attached, and duplexes
constructed with a Cluster Subdivision shall be generally compatible with existing
homes. The goal is, to reduce the impact of new development on established
neighborhoods' by incorporating elements of nearby, quality buildings, for example,
buildiD.g details, massing, proportio.ns, and materials. To foster compatible
residential development at the higher densities sought by this Section. The following
standards shall be followed.
1. Front yard Setl!.acks for Buildings in Established Residential Areas.
As shown on the Development Plan, the front yard setbacks for proposed Lots 1
through 4 are within 3' of the existing front yard setback of the existing house to
the north.
2. Building Height Transition.
The existing house to the' north of the site is a single-story dwelling. The
neighborhood consists of existing single-story and two-story single-family
residences and duplexes. The intent is to meet this code criterion, but it will be
specifically addressed in more detail at the time of final building design.
G. Specific Development Standards for Single-Family Dwellings. The following design
standards apply to single-family detached, single-family attached (less than three
attached units) and duplexes:
1. Building Orientation and Connectivity to the Fronting Street.
Date Received:
JUN 1 7 2008
Original Submittal
. ,
As shown on the Development Plan, the proposed buildings located on Lots 1
through 4 are fronting 5th Street and have a 'concrete walkway connecting th~
street sidewalk to the front door.
2. Dwelling units shall have a door opening directly to the fronting street. A
minimum 3-foot wide walkway shall connect the door to the street. The
walkway shall be constructed of a permanent hard surface (not gravel) and
located directly between th'e street sidewalk and the front door. This
walkway shall not be part of the driveway area.
As mentioned, the proposed buildings located on Lots 1 through 4 have a door
opening directly to the fronting street. The proposed concrete walkway
connecting the front door to the street will be 5-feet wide.
3. Garage Doors. Garage door placement and design shall meet the following
conditions: .
a. Garage door openings facing a fronting street shall not exceed 40
percent of the width of the house fa~ade.
No garages are proposedfor the"Tabor-GrifJin Cluster Subdivision.
b. The garage fa~ade shall be set back a minimum of four feet from th.e
house facade. The minimum setback of the garage fa~ade is reduced
to 0 feet if the house fa~ade has a porch, 50 square feet or more in size,
encroaching into the setback. ;
As mentioned, no garages are proposed, therefore, this criterion does not
apply.
4. Windows. A minimum area 15 percent windows and/or dwelling doors on
facades facing streets, sidewalks, and multi-use paths (including garage
facades). Gabled areas do not need to be included m the base wall
calculation when determining the minimum 15 percent calculation for
. windows/doors.
A minimum area of 15 percent windows 'and/or dwelling doors will be installed on .
facades facing streets, sidewalks, and multi-use paths.
5. Design Variety. Each home shall incorporate a minimum of. three of the
following five building design features. Applicants shall indicate which
options they are proposing on' plans submitted for building permits. While
not all of the design features are expressly required, the inclusion of as many

H. Open Space. . At . least 20 percent of the development site shall be designated
common open space. Common open space can be wetlands, steep slopes, natural
waterways or wooded areas. Also, common open space can be created by placing on
the land amenities for community activities for residents, for example, playgrounds,
picnic areas, gardens or sports features. Setbacks and buffer areas do not count
towards common open space. The use of restrictive covenants, dedication and
homeowners' association maintenance shall be assured through a homeowners'
association.
The subdivision is approximately 54,265 sq ft and the proposed designated common open
space is 13,973 sqft, which is over 25 percent of the development site.
I. Landscaping. Landscaping and/or natural vegetation shall occupy a minimum of 50
percent of required common open space. On-site natural resources and historic
features that are accessible to residents (including, but not'limited to: by trails,
boardwalks, etc.) may be used to satisfy this requirement. For example, if 25 percent
of the site includes a natural resource or historic feature then 25 percent of the
landscaping requirement is satisfied. . .
A minimum of 50 percent of common open space will be' designated for landscaping. At
least 25 percent of the open space is the proposed grassy swale and existing trees
. between lots 8 and 9.
J. Conditions of Approval. Over and above any other 'condition of approval, when
mitigating conflicts with adjacent properties raised during the review of a Cluster
Subdivision, the Director may require landscaping in the perimeter setbacks
specified in Subsection E. 1., above, in order to provide a buffer area to adjacent
properties. In this case, the setbacks shall be landscaped according to the screening
standards listed in Section 4.4-110 or Section 3.2-240.
If needed, this criteria will be addressed during Final Plat.
