DECISION: Tentative, Approval, with conditions, as of the date of this letter. The standards of the
Springfield Development Code (SDC) applicable to each criterion of Partition Approval are listed herein and,
are satisfied by the submitted plans and notes unless specifically noted with findings and conditions
necessary for compliance. PUBLIC AND PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS, AS WELL AS 'THE FINAL
PLAT, MUST CONFORM TO THE SUBMITTED PLANS AS CONDITIONED HEREIN. This is a limited
land use decision made according to City code and state statutes. Unless appealed, the decision is final.
Please read this document carefully.
.
(See Attachment A and Page 15 for a summary of the conditions of approval.)
OTHER USES AUTHORIZED BY THE DECISION: None. Future development will be in accordance with
the provisions of the SDC, filed easements and agreements, and all applicable local, state and federal regulations.
REVIEW PROCESS: This application is reviewed under Type II procedures listed in SDC 5.1-130 and the
partition criteria of approval, SDC 5.12-100. This application was accepted as complete on Jariuary8, 2009. This
decision is issued on the 50th day of the 120 days mandated by the state.
SITE INFORMATION: The subject site is a rectangular-shaped lot comprising approximately 12,825 if (0.29
acres). The 'propertY is a corner lot with frontage on G Street to the south and 26th Street to the west. The subject
propertY contains an existing d)"elling and accessory building in the northern haif of the prop~rtY. Th~ site is zoned
and designated Low Density Residential (LDR) in accordance with the Metro Plan. The Assessor's description for
the siJbject propertY IS Map 17-03-36-11, Tax Lot 9100.. Approval of the proposed partition would create two LDR
parcels: one containing the existing' house with frontage on 26th Street, and an L-shaped vacant'parcel with corner
frontage on G and 26th Streets. ' .
WRITTEN COMMENTS:
Procedural Finding: Applications for Limited Land Use Decisions require the notification of propertY
owners/occupants within 300 feetofthe subject propertY allowing for a 14-day comment period on the application
(SDC 5.1-130 and 5.2-115). The applicant and parties submitting written comments during the noti~e period have
appeal rights and are mailed a copy of this decision for consideration.
Procedural Finding: In accordance with SDC 5.1-130 and 5.2-115, notice was sent to propertY owners/occupants
within 300 feet of the subject site on January 12,2009. Three written comrrients were received.
Comment #1 from Joel & Jill Daniken, 821 26th Street, Springfield'97477: .
"Concerning 300-foot Public Noticefor Minor Variance Application at the location of 2660 'G' Street which we
received on January 13th, 2009 from applicant Geoff and Elizabeth Cossen. Our first concern is in regarding the -
five foot private waste water ~asement 'serving Parcel 2 and 821 26'h Street. Before the proposed new driveway is
poured for Parcel 2, the 26th Street side, our sewer pipe connection is on the south side of our home: under the
laurel hedge traveling under current gravel driveway of Parcel 2 and continues toward 'G " Street approximately
7'-10' outfrom the existing home'(ParceI2} on the west side of26'h Street. This sewer pipe serves both our home
821 26'h Street and 2660 'G'Street, already existing home: Therefore, our sewer pipe would need to be replaced
with new up to code sewer pipe bejore any driveway is poured.' We would like to know if the above applicants,
Geoff and Elizabeth Cossen will be paying the entire cost involving the new up to code sewer pipe? Our second
concern is regarding the C. private jive foot waste water easement serving 82 r 26'h Street. Where is this located?
Can bark a mulch be used there or grass? Where is it located? Concerning no. 15, duplex to be served by existing
unused sewer lateral, 30 [feet] west ofSE corner. Where is. that located?
Staff Response:
Staff met with the Danikens at the City's Development Services office to explain the proposed alignment of the
private sanitaiy sewer lateral, the location of the proposed utility easement, that installation of the sewer pipe from
the connection point to the existing house on Parcel 2 would be the obligation of the applicant, and that any
arrangement for replacement of existing sewer pipe that currently serves 821 26th Street would have to be worked,
Datt:l f'<dCeived: 2-/17/J1Jo'f 2
Plt:lnner: AL '
out between the applicant and the benefiting. propertY' owners. This staff report and decision contains a
recommendation 'that the entire sewer line is replaced, but the applicant is not obligated to replace existing, private
utility infrastructure that serves off-site dwellings with this decision. Unless' provisions of the easement document
specifically prohibit improvements, groundcover plants, bark mulch or paved surfaces could be installed atop the
private easement and private sanitary sewer line at the propertY owner's risk and expense. In the event the sewer
line requires replacement in the future, the surface improvement would need to be removed or replaced following
'.excavation.
Staff advise that the sanitary sewer connection proposed to serve Parcel 1 is noted with lineworkon the applicant's
tentative plan. The existing .connection is shown extending northward from a 10" public sanitary sewer line
runn.ing east-west within G Street. .
Comment #2 from Jan Peterson, 2575 G Street, Springfield 97477:
"PLEASE, check with the police department. You'll find the MANY records generated by inhabitants of
DUPLEXES in the neighborhood. WE DO NOT NEED MORE CRIME and 'UNDESIRABLES' IN THIS
NEIGHBORHOOD. Home owners property values will be 'lowered by another highly visible low-end shacky
rental. The ancient house on the property now is somewhat of an eyesore..., and the new unit will no doubt be just
as bad......in keeping with the established 'style' or lack thereof Will theroofridgeline line be continous [sic).....as
I was told is required by the City io be considered a duplex? Your tentitive [sic] partition'does not show an
at/ached roojline. Without tearing down the existing house will a duplex be possible? Are the sizes of the newly
partitioned lots large enough to each be considered a legal lot?, ....one that meets' current code? Ifj;ou approve
this Application, it WILL set a precedent. Other owners and rental owners without civic pride (AND no aesthetic
sense of beauty), will put a low end shack on their property too. PLEASE do not approve this. (If you approve it,
please require the owners to bring both units into the 21st century with AlTRACTIVE exterior touches....like stone
work, quality siding and roofing and profes~ional quality landscaping)."
Staff Response:
Staff advise that concerns about possible criminal activity and social problems associated with neighborhood
residents cannot be addressed in this land use decision. These issues should be addressed directly with the
Springfield Police Department,
For a dwelling to be considered a duplex under the City's Development Code, it must be "designed or used
exclusively for the, occupancy of two families living independently of each other, sharing a common roof, wall or
foundation at the garages, carports and/or living areas" (Springfield Development Code, ,Section 6.1-110).
Therefore', the roofline mayor may not be continuous depending upon the' style of the dwelling ,units. Some
designs (often referred to as "tandem" units) may have a common wall between the garages, and.also may have,
varied rooflines and living areas that are oriented to different streets. It is notable that the applicant could replace or
reconfigure the existing single-family dwelling as a duplex dwelling because the parcel already meets the
Development Code requirements ,for a duplex lot. Building permits would be required for this change, but no other
land use actions would be required. '
The applicant's submittal shows a conceptual building footprint with a rectangular dwelling orie~ted east-west and
two side-by-side single garages at the east side of the building. Staff advise that the applicant is not required to
demonstrate that a duplex will fit on the parcel with this application, only that the parcel meets or exceeds the
minimum dimensional'requirements of the Springfield Development Code. In this case, the proposed parcel has
corner exposure, is at least 6,000 square feet, and has at least 45 feet of frontage on an east-west street (G Street).
The applicant has requested a variance for the north-south street frontage (45 feet is proposed, where 60 feet is
required) pursuant to Planning Case DRC2009-00002. If the variance and partition approval are granted, the
applicant will be required to submit buiJdii1g plans that meet current Building Code requirements. Although it is an
important consideration for neighborhood compatibility, the applicant is not required by this land use decision to
upgrade the existing house or provide extra architectural detailing for the proposed dwelling on Parcel I. The
applicant has advised they are engaging'the services of a professional architect for the proposed duplex, and that
they intend to construct an attractive dwelling that will fit with the,neighborhood.

Comment #3 from Joe Suminski, 888 26th Street, Springfield 97477:
"1 oppose a variance for 2660 'G' Street. There are two reasons for my opposition.
J. According to the map he's asking for a variance on N.: 26th street. This street is already clogged with
cars parked on both sides of the street due to houses being built so close that there's no place to put
cars, boats, trailers, etc.. We don't want, a precedent to make structures even closer.
2. J 5 yards is not enough distance from the roadfor safety or curb appeal. Please reject this petition.
Staff Response:
Staff included the comment from Mr. Suminski regarding the proposed variance to ensure the respondent receives a
copy of both staff reports and decisions when they are issued., A response to Mr. Suminski's concerns is provided
in the variance request staff report and decision (DRC2009-00002). '
CRITERIA OF PARTITION TENTATIVE APPROVAL:
SDC 5.12-125 states that the Director shall approve orapprov~ with conditions a Partition Tentative Plan application
upon determining that criteria A through J of this Section have been satisfied. If conditions cannot be attached to
satisfY the criteria, the Director shall deny the application.
A. The request conforms to'the provisions of this Code pertaining to lot/parcel size and dimensions.
Finding I: Pursuant to SDC 3.2-215, parcels on north-south streets shall have a minimum parcel size of 5,000
square feet with 60 feet of street frontage.
Finding 2: In accordance with SDC 3.2-215, proposed Parcel 2 exceeds the minimum requirements for parcel
size and street frontage.
Finding 3: Pursuant to SDC 3.2-215, corner parcels shall contain at least 6,000 square feet with at least 45
feet of frontage on an east-west street,. and at least,60 feet of frontage on a north-south street.
Finding 4: In accordance with SDC 3.2-215, proposed Parcel 2 exceeds the minimum requirements for corner
parcel size and street frontage on an east-west street.
Finding 5: The applicant is requesting a variance to the north-south street frontage requirement for proposed
Parcel I because the existing house on Parcel 2 precludes establishing at least 60 fcet of frontage on 26th
Street. For Parcel I, the applicant is.requesting a 45-fooffrontage on 26th Street where 60 feet is required, a
'variance of 15 feet (25%).
Finding 6: In accordance with SDC 5.21-120, an adjustment of a dimensional standard of up to 30% is
considered a minor variance. A minor variance may be granted to a parcel dimension that does not reduce the
parcel size below the minimum required in the LDR district. Proposed Parcel I meets the minimum 6,000 ft'
requirement ofSDC 3.2-215.
Finding 7: The applicant's tentative plan proposes a reverse L-shaped Parcell with an irregular north-south
boundary between Parcels I and 2. The Springfield Development Code does not limit the number of angle
points that can be used to create a common property line between two low density residential (LDR) parcels.
Condition of Approval:
1. Prior to approval of the Final Plat, the applicant shall obtain a variance for the Parcel I north-south
street frontage pursuant to Planning Action DRC2009-00002. The variance must establish' a 45-foot
frontage for Parcel I on 26th Street, where 60 feet is required.
Conclusion: As conditioned herein, ,this proposal satisfies Criterion A. "

o Water Service and Fire Protection (SDC 4.3-130)
o Public and Private Easements (SDC 4.3-140)
Public and Private Streets
Finding 13: Section 4.2-105.G.2 of the Springfield Development Code requires that whenever a proposed
land division or development wiiJ 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 in cases of unimproved streets, an Improvement Agreement
shall ,be required as a condition of Development Approval postponing ,improvements until such time as a
City street improvement project is initiated.
Finding 14: In accordance with SDC 4.2-105.G.2.a, when fully improved street right-of-way abuts the
property line of the subjectproperty, street improvements shall be constructed across the entire property
frontage.
Finding 15: The subject prop~rty has frontage on 26th Street al~ng the west boundary. Abutting the subject
site to the west, 26th Street is developed as a 27-foot wide paved local street within a 3'0-foot wide right-of-

,
way. The street is unproved with a paved surface, curb and ~gutter, and low pressure sodium (LPS) street
lighting. An LPS street light is located on the west side of 26th Street across from the subject site, but this
type of lighting does not meet current City standards.
Finding 16: There is no sidewalk or planter strip along 26th Street north of G Street, and there is
insufficient width to develop a 5-foot wide curbside sidewalk entirely within the public' right-of-way. The
applicant is proposing to dedicate a 5-foot wide sidewalk easement and Public Utility Ease;"ent (PUB)
along the west boundary of Parcels I and 2. The sidewalk easement would facilitate a future sidewalk
connection between G Street and properties to the north along 26th Street. An improvement agreement for
future sidewalk and street lighting improvements on 26th Street is warranted w!th the proposed partition.
Finding 17: The applicant is proposing to plant three street trees along !lie 26th Street frOlitage of Parcels I
and 2. The proposed street trees are a listed variety in the City's EDSPM, Chapter 6.
Finding 18: Abutting the subject site to the south, G Street is a 32-foot wide collector street within a 40-
foot'wide right-of-way. The street is improved with a paved surface, curb 'and gutter, and LPS street
lighting. Starting at the southwest corner of the subject propertY and running westward, there is a 5-foot
wide curbside sidewalk along the north side of G Street. However, there is no sidewalk along the G Street
frontage of the subject propertY.
Finding 19: In accordance with SDC 4.3-140, new street trees are required where development abuts
public .street rights-of-way. Where street trees cannot be planted in the right-of-way, existing trees in the'
front yard setback can be substituted for street trees in accordance with SDC 4.2-140.B. Maintenance of
street trees on private propertY is the responsibility of the landowner.
Finding 20: There are no street trees planted or proposed along the subject propertY frontage on G Street.
The applicant has indicated that street trees are not desired along the G Street fro!)tage of the propertY
because of. the future development plans for the site. However, staff contend there is sufficient room
between the edge of curb/sidewalk on G Street and the future building envelope area to accommodate street
trees. Street trees can be included on an improvement agreement and planted prior to occupancy of a
dwelling on Parcel I.
Finding 21: The applicant is proposing to dedicate the southern five (5) feet of Parcel I as publicright-of-
way to facilitate future G Street improvements and an extension of the public sidewal\" Provision of a
public sidewalk along the G Street frontag~ of Parcel 1 is warranted with the proposed partition.
Finding 22: An improvement agreement for future street lighting improvements on G Street is, warranted
with the proposed partition.
Conditions of Approval:
2. Prior to or'concurrent with approval of the Final Plat, the applicant shall execute and record a public
sidewalk easement for the western;five feet of Parcels I and2.
3. Prior to or concurrent with approval of the Final Plat, the applicant shall execute and record a public
right-of-way dedication for the southern five feet of Parcel I as generally depicted on the tentative plan.
4. Prior to issuance of occupancy for a dwelling on Parcel I, a 5"foot wide curbside sidewalk shall be
constructed along the entire G Street frontage of Parcel L The sidewalk shall be constructed to City
Standards and connect with the existing sidewalk at the intersection of 26th and G Streets.
5. Prior to approval of the Final Plat, at least three street trees shall be installed along the 26th Street
frontage of Parcels I and 2 as g;enerally depicted on the tentative plan.

8. Prior to approval of the Final Plat, the applicant shall execute and record an Improvement Agreement
for G Street for street trees and street lighting improvements.
Conclusion: As conditioned herein, existing transportation facilities would be adequate to accommodate the
'additional volume of traffic generated by the proposed development in a safe and efficient manner.
Sanitary Sewer Improvements
Finding 23: Section 4.3-105Aofthe SDC requires that sanitary sewers shall be installed to serve each new
development arid to connect developments to existing mains. Additionally, installation of sanitary sewers
shall provide sufficient access for maintenance activities.
Finding 24: The applicant's utility plan was not stamped and signed bya professional engineer. Ordinarily, a
professional engineer will prepare the utility plans in accordance with SDC 5.l2-120.A.1. Because there are
no public improvements associated with this application, an engineer's stamp is not specifically required.
mstallation of private utilities required to serve the development site and adjacent property (Tax Lot 9200)
will be completed and inspected through the building permitting process. '
Finding 25: The applicant's tentati,:e plan indicates a: sanitary sewer lateral stubbed into the G Street frontage
of the 1'<V1'~'~i approximately 30 feet west of the southeast property corner. The existing sewer lateral will
provide service for a future dwelling on Parcell.
Finding 2~: The existing dwelling is served by a private sanitary sewer line running north-south inside the,
west property line. The private sanitary sewer line serves the existing dwelling and a dwelling no.rth of the
subject property (Tax Lot 9200). The sanitary sewer line connects to a lO-inch public sanitaiy sewer pipe in
G Street near the southwest corner of the subject property. Current Building Code regulations require a
separate, dedicated sanitary sewer line for each dwelling.
Finding 27: The applicant is proposing to replace the private sewer line that serves the existing dwelling on
Parcel 2. As depicted on the tentative plan, the aPl'licantis proposing to install two parallel sanitary sewer
lines to serve the existing dwelling and the adjacent property. (Tax Lot 9200). . It is not clear from the
applicant's tentative plan whether the entire sewer, line serving Tax Lot 9200 is proposed to be replaced. The
owners of Tax Lot 9200 have expressed their interest in replacing the northern segment of private sewer line
that runs beneath the'driveway on Parcel 2 (see Written Comment # I). Staff agree that replacement of the
entire 'sewer line serVing Tax Lot 9200 would be appropriate with this proposal. However, it is the
responsibility of the' applicant and the benefiting landowners to coordinate sewer line installation and possible
cost-sharing arrangements.
Finding 28: The applicant is proposing to dedicate a 5-foot wide private sewer easement along the western
edge of Parcels I and 2. As depicted on the applicant's tentative plan, the easement is set back 5 feet from the
edge of the 26th Street right-of-way, and behind the proposed 5-foot wide sidewalk easement and PUB. The
private sewer easement will benefit Parcel 2 and the adjacent property to the north (Tax Lot 9200).
Conditions of App'roval:
9. Prior .to approval of the Final Plat, the applicant shall obtain necessary permits and install private
sanitary sewer lines to serve Parcel 2 and the dwelling on Tax Lot 9200 as generally depicted on the
tentative plan. . '

Stormwater Management
Oualitv
Finding 29: Under Federal regulation of the Clean Water Act (CWA), Endangered Species Act (ESA), and
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), the City of Springfield is required to obtain,
and has applied for, a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. A provision of this permit
requires the City to demonstrate efforts to reduce the pollution in urban stormwater to the Maximum Extent
Practicable (MEP).
Finding 30: Federal and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) rules require.the City's
MS4 plan to address six "Minimum Control Measures". Minimum Control Measure 5, "PostcConstruction
Stormwater Management for New Development and Redevelopment", applies to the proposed
development.
Finding 31: Minimum Control Measure 5 requires the City of Springfield to develop, implement and
enforce a program to ensure the reduction of pollutants in stormwater runoff to the MEP. .The City also
must develop and implement strategies that include a combination of structural or non-structural Best
Management Practices (BMPs) appropriate for the community.
. .
Finding 32: Minimum Control Measure 5 requires the City of Springfield to use an ordinance or other
regulatory mechanism to address post-construction runoff from new and re-development projects to the
extent allowable under State law. Regulatory mechanisms used by the City include the SDC, the City's
Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual and the future Stormwater Facilities Master Plan
(SFMP). .
Finding 33: As required in SDC 4.3-11O.E, "a development shall be required to employ drainage
management practices approved by the Public Works Director and consistent [with] 't.'le Engineering
Design Standards and Procedures Manual".
Finding 34: Section 3.02 of the City's EDSPM. states the Public Works Department1will accept, as interim
design standards for stormwater quality, water quality facilities designed pursuant to the policies and
procedures of either the'City of Portland (BES), or the Clean Water Services (CWS).
Finding 35: The applicant is proposing to direct runoff from the paved driveway on Parcel 2 to a grassy swale
on the north edge of the driveway. From there, the runoff will drain to a, weep hoIe'in the curbline on 26th
Street. The applicant has not provided details on the grassy swale, including proposed gradient, seed mixture
and application rate. However, while they are considered a "best practices" measure, water quality swales are
not specifically required for singlecfamily residential properties.
OuantitY .
Finding 36: Section 4.3-1.l0.B of the SDC requires that the Approval Authority shall grant development
approval only where adequate public and/or private stormwater management system provisions have been
made as determined by the Public Works Director, consistent with the EDSPM.
Finding 37: Section 4.3-110.D of the SDC requires that runoff from a development shall be directed to an
approved stormwater managemep,t system with sufficient capacity to accept the discharge.

Finding 38: Section 4.3-110.E of the SDC requires new developments to employ drainage management
practices that minimize the amount and rate of surface runoff into receiving streams, and that promote water
quality.
Finding 39: The gutter downspouts from the existing house on Parcel 2 are connected to curb line weep hole
drains in 26th Street. As stated above, the applicant is proposing to direct driveway runoff from Parcel 2 to a
grassy swale prior to discharge to curb line weep hole drains. The applicant haS indicated that the new
dwelling on proposed Parcel I will connect to weep hole drains in the curb on G Street thereby satisfYing
SDC Sections 4.3-110.0 & E.
Utilities
Finding 40: Section 4.3-120.B ofthe SDC requires each developer to make arrangements with the utility
provider to 'provide utility lines and facilities to serve the development area. Springfield Utility Board
(SUB) Electric is the provider for electrical service to the subject propertY.
Finding 41: The applicant is responsible for the cost' of design and installation of utility lines and facilities.
In accordance with SDC 4.3-125, all utility lines shall be placed underground. The applicant's project
narrative indicates that the existing overhead electrical, telephone and cable TV lines are. proposed to be
relocated underground. '
Finding 42: The applicant is proposing to extend electrical and telecommunication service lines from an
existing power pole outside the northeast co~er of the development site. The applicant is proposing a 7-
foot wide private utility easement across the northern "panhandle" extension of Parcel I to accommodate
the underground utilities for Parcel 2. SUB Electric advises that the proposed 'private. utility easement is
not ideally located because it would require installing longer service lines in order to bypass the. north and
west sides of the existing shop structure. . Additionally, the applicant's proposed easement would not
facilitate efficient service connections for the future dwelling on Parcel I. SUB Electric recommends
extending the utility lines for Parcel 2 southward approximately 50 feet from the existing power pole. A 5-
foot wide utility easement running east-west across the "panhandle" extension of Parcel I would be
required at or near the midpoint of the Parcell east propertY line. SUB Electric advises that ajunction box
would need to be placed on or near the propertY line between Parcels I and 2; the service connections for
both dwellings would be taken from this point.
Finding 43: The applicant is proposing a 5-foot wide PUB along the.east propertY line of Parcel I to
facilitate utility line extensions. Electrical and telecommunications service lines can be placed within'this
PUB.
Finding 44: SUB Electric advises that the existing power pole in the southwest corner of Tax Lot 10105 is
not contained within a public utility easement. Because underground services will need to connect to this
pole, trenching across the propertY line will be required.. A utility easement for the power pole will be
required from the propertY owner of Tax Lot 10105 :,(addressed as 2681 Garson Lane). SUB Electric
advises that the applicant will be partly responsible for the cost of obtaining and recording a new easement
for ,the power pole.
Finding 45: SUB Electric advises that the overhead conductor between the pole in Tax Lot 10105 and a
nearby pole will need to be upgraded to meet the electrical power needs of the development site.
Additionally, SUB Electric advises the existing conductor on the nearby pole also will require upgrading
because it is running over 100% capacity during winter months. In accordance with SDC 4.3-120.B, the
applicant is responsible for utility system design and construction costs for the proposed development.
Finding 46:, The telephone lines for Parcel 2 are proposed to be relocated underground along the east
propertY line of Parcel I. The utility easement required for the SUB Electric lines:,< described above) also
could accommodate relocated telephone and cable TV lines.

Water Service and Fire Protection
Finding 47: Section 4.3-J30.A ofthe SDC: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. SUB Water coordinates the design of the water system within
Springfield city limits. All new water system facilities and modifications required, to serve the proposed
partition area must ):>e placed in the public right-of-way and constructed in accordance with SUB Water
standards.
Finding 48: The applicant's submittal indicates the existing water service connection for Parcel 2 is located
on 26th Street near the southwest p~operty corner. The applicant is proposing to install a new water service
connection near the northwest corner of Parcel I. A.street cut on 26th Street will be required to install the
new water service connection. SUB Water requires that individual water meters are placed inside the
public right-of-way.
Finding 49: There is an existing fire hydrant located on the south side of G Street, approximately 310 feet
west of the southwest corner of Parcel I:
Condition of Approval:
14. Prior to approval of the Final Plat, the .applicant shall obtain ,necessary permits and install the water
service for Parcell as generally depicted on the tentative plan.
Public,and Private Easements
Finding 50: Section 4.3-140.A of the SDC requires applicants proposing developments to make
arrangements with the City and each utility provider for the dedication of utility easements necessary to
fully service the development or land beyond the development area. The. minimum width for PUBs
adjacent to street rights-of-way shall be 7 feet. The minimum width for all other public utility ,easements
shall be 7 feet unless the Public Works Director requires a larger easement to allow for adequate
maintenance.
Finding 51: The applicant is proposing a 5-foot wide sidewalk easement and PUB along the west side of
Parcels I.and 2. A 5-foot wide PUB also is proposed along the south and east sides of Parcell. The
existing dwelling on Parcel 2 is located such that it constrains the provision of parallel 7-foot wide
easements for public and private utilities: Public Works staff have reviewed the proposal and acceptthe
provisioh ofa 5-foot wide PUB along the west side of Parcels I ,and 2, and along the south side of Parcel 1.

Finding. 65: Development Review staff have reviewed the application in regard to the Drinking Water
Protection Overlay District and Refmemerit Plan requirements. The subject site is within the mapped 5-10
year Time of Travel Zone for the nearest drinking water well (Maia wellhead). Because the proposal is a
low-density residential development, there are no specific policies of the DWP Overlay District or the
Metro Plan that apply to the partition.
~~'~~'~~0~Lea:*I~' r~
,Finding 66: As stated previously, the developer or future landowner will be required to abide by the solar

Conclusion: This proposal satisfies ,<::riterion E.
. F. Parking areas and ingress-egress points have been designed to: facilitate vehicular traffic; bicycle and
pedestrian safety to avoid congestion; provide connectivity within the development area and to
adjacent residential areas, 'transit stops, neighborhood activity centers; and commercial, industrial and
public areas; minimize driveways on arterial and collector ,streets as specified in this Code or other
applicable regulations and comply with the ODOT access management standards for State highways.
Finding 70: The Development Review Committee reviewed the proposed 2-lot partition at- a meeting on
January 27, 2009. The, existing and proposed driveways are sufficient to serve the proposed parcels. As
previously conditioned, off-street parking will be required for a dwelling on Parcel I prior to occupancy
(Condition 16).
Transportation System Impacts,
Finding 71: Abutting the subject site to the west, 26th Street is a 27-foot wide asphalt-paved roadway
within a 30-foot wide right-of-way. ,Abutting the subject site tQ the south, G Street is a 32-foot wide
asphalt-paved collector roadway within a 40-foot right-of-way. Both streets are improved with paving,
curb and gutter and LPS street lighting. Along the property frontages, average daily traffic on 26th Street is
estimated to be fewer than 200 vehicle trips per day and average'daily traffic on G Streetisestimated to be
,approximately 1000 v,ehicle trips per day.
Finding 72: Parcell has the potential to be developed with one or two dwelling units (single family home
or duplex). Based on ITE Land Use Code 210 (Single-Family Detached Housing) full development of
Parcell with a residential use would generate 10-20 additional vehicle trips per day and 1-2 PM peak-hour
, vehicle trips onto the surrounding street system.
Finding 73: Assumed development also may generate pedestrian and bicycle trips. According to the
~'Household" survey done by LCOG in 1994,' 12.6 percent of household trips are made by bicycle or
walking ~d 1.8 percent are by transit bus. These trips may have their origins or destinations at a variety of .

land uses, including this site.' Pedestrian and bicycle trips create the need for sidewalks, pedestrian crossing
signals, crosswalks, bicycle parking and bicycle lanes.
Finding 74: The nearest regular transit bus service is provided by LID Route #13 (Centennial) operating
along 21" Street and Centennial Boulevard.
Finding 75: Existing transportation facilities would be adequate to accommodate the additional volume of
traffic generated by the proposed development. Therefore, the proposed partition should have no
significant traffic impacts to the surrounding street system.
Site Acc,ess and Circulation
Finding 76: Installation of driveways ,on a street increases the number of traffic conflict points. A greater
number of conflict points increases the probability of traffic crashes. SDC 4.2-120.A.1 stipulates that each
parcel is entitled to ".. ,have an approved access provided, .." (emphasis added).
Finding 77: In accordance with SDC Table 4.2-2, residential driveways serving single family homes must
have a paved' surface 12 to 16 feet wide and at least 18 feet long as measured from the edge of property
line. A maximum of one driveway will be permitted.to serve each of Parcels I and 2.
Finding 78: The applic~nt is proposing to modify the existing oversize driveway off 26th Street that serves
the house on Parcel 2. The'driveway is proposed to be reduced in width to an 18'x20' paved driveway with
a curb cut and approach that meets City standards. The existing oversize curb cut will need to be scaled
back and unused portions replaced with vertical face curb and gutter. In accordance with SDC 4.2-2(3), the
driveway is proposed to be paved at least 18 feet into the property.
Finding 79: There is an existing curb cut and driveway approach from G Street near the midpoint of the
Parcel I south boundary. The applicant is proposing'to relocate the driveway serving Parcel I to the
southeast edge 'of the parceL. Note # 13 on the applicant's tentative plan indicates that unused curb cuts will
be replaced with vertical face curb and gutter.
Finding 80: Upon partitioning of the property, the existing house on Parcel 2 will not have frontage on G
Street. Instead, the dwelling will be re-addressed from 26th Street; the City's Building Division is
'responsible, for assigning street addressing numbers. In.accordancewith the Springfield Municipal Code,
Chapter 3.246(5), street numbers are to be posted in a visible location on the dwelling. The applicant's
tentative plan indicates that a hard surface walkway will be constructed from the front door of the dwelling
, to the curb line on 26th Street.
Finding 81: As proposed and conditioned herein, 'the existing facilities are adequate to meet the site access,
driveway, and vision.clearance requirements ofSDC 4.2-120 and 4.2-130.
Conditions of Approval:
17. Prior to approval of the Final 'Plat, the applicant shall obtain necessary permits and install a paved
residential driveway off 26th Street to serve Parcel 2 as generally depicted on the tentative plan.
Unused portions of the oversize curb cut shall be replaced with vertical face curb and gutter in
accordance with City standards.
18. Prior to approval of the Final Plat, the applicant shall obtain necessary permits and replace the curb cut
and driveway approach located near the midpoint of the south property line of Parcel I with vertical
