RE: Case number SUB2007-00027
Andy,
With the improvements for 42nd Street this property did receive weep 'holes. The weep holes
are not active and are stubbed beyond the curb. Your assumption is correct.
Let me know if you need a~ything else.
Thanks,
Billy

I can address the issue of site drainage for the adjacent property. However, I need some
input for the comment about the drain pipes under the sidewalk. I think this person is
referring to drainpipes were probably installed with the recent street upgrades and are
weepholes to the curb along South 42nd Street. They are intended to have water drain out
to the street, not the other way around. If anything, they should help the drainage.issue
on this property.
The property being referred to is at 276 South 42nd Street. Please let me know if you
have any comments that- I can forward to Ms. Tong. Thanks
Andy

I looked over the papers se~t to me at my 'parents address today and thought of another
question/concern.
Back a few years the person who lived ,on that 'lot had many dump trucks of dirt brought in
.and dump~d on t~e back of the property. This changed the water table and caused flooding
in the winter time of my parents property. Will this development do anything t~ rectify
that condition?
I'm not sure if you are the person to address this next questio~ to or not, but after
visiting the prQperty today I saw that drain pipes have been placed under the sidewalk in
. front of my parents property that will empty on to their front yard. Since the incident I
p~eviously mentioned happened, drainage and flooding have been a serious concern. Other
drain pipes in, that area along South 42nd do not drain onto property.
I appreciated your previous'" response and look' forward to hearing from you again.
Thank you in aQvance,
Janet Tong

Some of your concerns can be addressed through Planning approval
conditions and Development Code requirements, but some are 'related to
the activities of property owners (or
tenants/visitors) and would.be
considered enforcement issues. If you have specific'concerns about
trespass onto your property or illegal activity_ in your neighborhood,
I would encourage you to contact the City's Code Enforcement division
(eg. '
improper use .of private property, derelict vehicles, neglected
properties, dumping of trash, etc.) or Springfield Police
(crime-related issues) .
The City will recommend' to the developer that a unifor~ screening
fence is installed along the south property line to address the"
concerns about broken and missing fencing between ~he two properties.
Typically, fencing is a civil issue that is handled by adjoining
property owners.
The City has" regulations for the height and style of' fencing, but
construction and maintenance of fences are the responsibility of the'
benefiting property owners - in this case both the proposed
development site ,and your property. There will be a requirement for
joint maintenance agreements for the private driveways and utilities
serving the subdivision area,' and fencing could be inc"luded in this
agreement if the dev~loper chooses this,option.
Regarding South 42nd Street, the City is curre~tly undertaking a
Capital Improvement Project to widen the street and add curb, gutter,
sidewalks, street lighting and othe'r improvements to handle the
increased traffic. '
Because this street is designated as a" minor arterial-road in the
City's street hierarchy system, it is expected that most 'traffic from
the adjacent neighborhood (including the proposed subdivision area)
will be directed to this road and out to Main Street/I-5 or south to
Jasper Road.
I qope this addresses your questions and there will be a formal
response to your comments in the staff report that is prepared for
this application. If"you have any further questions please contact
by email or at'726-3784 direct.
me'
Sincerely,
Andy Limbird
City of Springfield

My parents
on the deed
live at 276'S, 42nd
to this property.
and my brother .and I are also listed
My main concern about this development is that it not become a run
down dump that the development on Bluebell has become where drug"
"dealers, and pets are a large problem~ The properties on Bluebell
"have not been kept up and are in very poor condition. The fence
separating those properties and.where my parents live has been falling
down for years. Kids and pets trespass through the borken fence
leaving messes and sometimes damages. My par~nts are elderly and n~t
able to do everything for themselves.
Will there be a fence separating. this new development from my parents
property and will there be some ordinances for maintenance ?
'r think it is a real mistake to add more traffic to the already busy
south 42nd St.
Sincerely,
Janet Tong
