I have reviewed the materials provided with the subject application. The recommended
findings and conditions outlined below are provided for your use in preparing the
land-use decision.
SANITARY SEWER
Finding: Section 4.3-105.A of the SDC requires that sanitary sewers shall be installed to
/ serve each new development and to connect developments to existing mains. '
Additionally, installation of sanitary sewers shall provide sufficient access for
maintenance activities.
finding: It appears that the proposed lot split and future duplex construction has .
vprovisions for satisfactory sewer service and maintenance access to all existing and
proposed dwellings, including offsite connections to the north. The easement along 26th
St needs to benefit TLl70336119200.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
/ Finding: Section 4.3 -II O.B ofthe SDC requires that the A. pproval Auth()rity shall grant
development approval only where adequate public and/or private stormwater
. management systems provisions have been made as determined by the Public Works
Director, consistent with the Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual
~~~. .
,) Finding: Section 4.3-11O.D of the SDC requires that run-off from a development shall be
directed to an approyed stormwater management system with sufficient capacity to
accept the discharge.
I'Finding: Section 4.3-110.E of the SDC requires new developments to employ drainage
management practices, which minimize the amount and rate of surface water run-off into
receiving streams, and which promote water quality.
/
jFinding: The proposed development includes adequate measures for drainage of the
existing and proposed dwellings to existing storm water facilities. A substantial increase
in runoff is not anticipated from this proposed development.

Springfield has obtained a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. A
/ provision of this permit requires the City demonstrate efforts to reduce the pollution in
urban stormwater to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP).
j Finding: Federal and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) rules
require the City's MS4 plan address six "Minimum Control Measures." Minimum
Control Measure S, "Post-Construction Stormwater Management for New Development
and Redevelopment," applies to the proposed development.
,Finding: Minimum Control Measure S requires the City of Springfield to develop,
j implement and enforce a program to ensure the reduction of pollutants in stormwater
runoff to the MEP. The City must also develop and implement strategies that include a
combination of structural or non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs)
appropriated for the community.
Finding.' Minimum Control Measure S requires the City of Springfield use an ordinance
or other regulatory mechanism to address post construction runoff from new and re-
I development projects to the extent allowable under State law. Regulatory mechanisms
used by the City include the Springfield Development Code (SDC), the City's
Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual (EDSPM) and the future,
Storm water Facilities Master Plan (SFMP).

, ImpervIOus area and no vegetative treatment of runoff IS reqUired, or any other storm
water quality measure.
PUBLIC STREETS. SIDEWALKS & IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENTS
Finding: Section 4.2-IOS.G.2 ofthe Springfield Development Code requires that
whenever a proposed land division or development will increase traffic on the City street
system and that development has any unimproved street frontage abutting a fully
improved street, that street frontage shall be fully improved to City specifications.
Exception (i) notes that incases of unimproved streets; an Improvement Agreement shall
j be required as a condition of Development Approval postponing improvements until such
time that a City street improvement project is initiated.
j Finding: The proposed development does not appear to increase traffic on 26th street and
as such no improvements are necessary.
, Finding: The applicant has stated that the full improvements along G St are not practical
due to the proximity ofthe proposed duplex to the new ROW line for G street. This is in
conflict with the above fmding from Section 4.2, I OSg.
Condition: Prior to approval of the Final Plat, the applicant shall provide additional
ROW to ensure adequate room for all street related improvements, including street trees
and sidewalk for G Street for the entire frontage.

Finding: Section 4.3-130.A of the Springfield Development Code requires each
development area to be provided with a water system having sufficiently sized mains and
lesser lines to furnish adequate supply to the development and sufficient access for
maintenance. Springfield Utility Board coordinates the design of the water system witllln
Springfield city limits. The current plan proposal does not show locations or sizes of .
proposed water lines.
Finding: Section 4.3-140.A of the SDC requires applicants proposing developments
make arrangements with the City and each utility pJ:ovider for the dedication of utility
easements necessary to funy service the development or land beyond the development
area. The minimum width for public utility easements adjacent to street rights of ways
shall be 7 feet. The minimum width for all other public utility easements shan be 7 feet.
The Public Works Directormay require a larger easement to allow for adequate
maintenance.

proposed developments and preserve existing services to adjoining parcels to the North
