Proposal: Expansion of existing warehouse, equipment storage areas, parking expansion, and site
landscaping
Comments from Lane County Transportation Planning
The subject property is inside the Urban Growth Boundary of the City of Springfield. The property
abuts E 19th Ave, a county road. It is functionally classified as an Urban Local road in the Lane
County Transportation System Plan. It is a 22-foot wide road without curb, gutter, or sidewalk.
Southern pacific Rail Road Crosses E 19th Ave at about 200 feet from the existing eastern-most
driveway. .
The applicant proposes to expand the existing warehouse; relocate one of the driveways and provide
with gates; and add parking area for loading area for long vehicles on the east side of the property.
Pursuant to LC15.070 (1), a lot or parcel of land adjoining a road designated as a County Road shall
have a building setback line which conforms to the applicable zoning district. Setbacks shall be
measured at right angles to the centerline of a straight-line or as radials on a curved road to the
nearest point of the front wall of the building. Pursuant to LC 15.070 (1) (c)(i) (bb), the minimum right-
of-way width for development setback purposes based on functional class of the road shall be 60
feet. .'
The driveway relocation proposal does not meet the spacing standards of 100 feet. Within the Urban
Growth boundary, the driveway spacing standard for county roads classified as Local roads shall be
100 feet for this type of development, pursuant to LC 15.138 (2).
The rail road crossing is at grade with E 19th Ave. Lane county may receive requests from the Rail
Road company to improve this intersection. Usually the improvement requests involve grade
correction at the crown of the intersection. The developer should be made aware of the possibility
that such improvement projects may extend up to 200 feet of the crossing. The county cannot
guarantee that the eastern-most driveway uses are not affected.
No facility permits for the existing driveways exist on record. Pursuant to LC 15.205 (3), a facility
permit is required for any work within a County Road right-of-way including road improvements,
sidewalks, new or reconstructed driveway or road approach intersections, st~_ . i~~'1i 'f11I1l:1'!, -::II
