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 insfulled to
serye each new development and to connect developments to existing mains.
, .
Additionally, installation of sanitary sewers shall provide sufficient acces~ for
maintenance activities.
Finding: Pursuant to Chapter 3.03.4.A of the City's Engineering Design Standards and
Procedures Manual and Section 4.4 of Portland's Stormwater Management Manual, solid
waste storage areas shall be covered and hydraulically isolated from potential stormwater
runoff, and directed to the sanitary sewer system.
Condition: The applicant shall provide a sanitary sewer line to the trash enclosure and
ensure that the trash enclosure is hydraulically isolated .
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
Finding: Section 4.3-11O.B of the SDC requires that the Approval Authority shall grant
development approval only where adequate public and/or private stormw~ter
management systems provisions have been made as determined by the Public Works
Director, consistent with the Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual
(EDSPM).
Finding: Section 4.3-1 10.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,
Condition: The applicant shall install permeable pavers on the proposed'patio to
minimize runoff from this area and maintain existing drainage patterns.
WATEROlJALITY
Finding: Under Federal regulation of the Clean Water Act (CW A), Endal1gered Species

urban stormwater to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP).
Finding: Federal and Oregon Department of Enviro"!IIental Quality (ODEQ) rules
require the City's MS4 plan address six "Minimum Control Measures." Minimum
Control Measure 5, "Post-Construction Stormwater Management for New Development
and Redevelopment," applies to the proposed development.
Finding: Minimum Control Measure 5 requires the City of Springfield to develop,
implement and enforce a program to ensure the reduction of pollutants instormwater
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 5 requires the City of Springfield 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 Springfield Development Code (SDC), the City's
Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual (EDSPM) and the future
Stormwater Facilities Master Plan (SFMP),
Finding: As required in Section 4.3-11 O.E ofthe SDC, "a development shall be required
to employ drainage management practices approved by the Public Works Director and
consistent with Metro Plan policies and the Engineering Design Standards and
Procedures Manual."
Finding: Section 3.02 of the City's EDSPM states the Public Works Department will
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).
. j
Finding: Section 3.03.3.B of the City's EDSPM states all public ,and private development
and redevelopment projects shall employ a system of one or more post-developed BMPs
that in combination are designed to achieve at least a 70 percent reduction in the total
suspended solids in the runoff generated by that development. Section J.03.4,E ofthe
manual requires a minimum of 50 percent of the non-building rooftop impervious area on
a site shall be treated for stormwater quality improvement using vegetative methods,
Condition: The existing catch basins in the parking lot will need to be retrofitted with a
city approved stormwater filter insert and a maintenance agreement put in place to
provide for the ongoing maintenance needs of the filters.
pTHER
Finding: There is a potential traffic circulation problem in the current design of the
Dutch Bros kiosk. Ifa car were to pull directly off Gateway and approach the western
serving window without changing directions in the parking lot there would be t~ I ~ ~/

potential for a queue to form that could interfere with traffic in Gateway Street.
Condition: To prevent any traffic conflicts a combination of signing and striping should
be used to ensure customers approach the serving windows from the south..
