Comments Received: Charles Hobbs, Jr., 6870 Main St, Spririgfield OR 97478, received on June 9, 2008. "The people at this residence will agree with anything regarding a new replacement of Springfield fire station #16." . SDC 5.17-125 Site Plan Review Criteria of Approval, The Director shall approve or approve with conditions: a Type IT Site Plan Review application upon determining that approval criteria A. through E.! below have been satisfied. If conditions . cannot be attached to satisfy the approval criteria, the Director shall deny the application. A. The zoning is consistent with the Metro Plan diagram, and/or the applicable Refinement Plan diagram, Plan District map, and Conceptual Development Plan. , . Finding: The site is zoned LDR (Low Density Residential). This area is designated Low Density Residential by the Metro Plan. There is no applicable refinement plan. Finding: In accordance with SDC 4.7-160, High Impact facilities are allowed in the LDR . zone with a Type ill Discretionary Use review, unless the facility is designated on the Metro Plan's Public Facilities and Services Plan. Fire and Police Services are not listed in that Plan. However, Fire Station 16 is shown on the Department of Fire and Life Safety "Standards of Cover and Deployment Study". Based on a memo dated May 30, 2007, Jim Donovan, the Planning Supervisor, has determined this study meets the requirement for designation on a public facilities plan. Therefore, the proposed facility does not require Discretionary Use Review. Conclusion: The proposal complies with SDC 5.17-125(A). B. Capacity requirements of public and private facilities, including but not limited to, water and electricity; sanitary sewer and stormwater management facilities; and streets Thurston Fife Station /6 Case No. DRClOOB-00036 3 and traffic safety controls shall not be exceeded and the public improvements shall be available to serve the site at the time of development, unless otherwise provided for by this Code and other applicable regulations.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT Finding: To comply with Sections 4.3-110(D) & (E) of the Springfield Development Code, stormwater runoff from the site will be directed into a series of swales and basins. The north swale will be primarily used for reducing storm water runoff to the public system and the south infiltration bio swale will be used primarily for storm water quality. Finding: As of June 17, 2008, the drainage plan has been changed from what was submitted on May 28. A new drainiJ.ge study and corresponding revisions to the civil drawings are required prior to approval of the final site plan. 2. Condition of Aooroval: Submit a revised drainal!'e studv and civil drawinl!'s that accuratelv reflect the drainap'e olan. This ulan must be aoTjroved urior to approval of the final site plan.

Due to this capacity constraint, the site will be required to limit post-developed runoff to existing peak flow rates: 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 Oean Water Services (CWS). . 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 3.03.4.E of the 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. Thu"ton Fire Station 16 Cose No. DRQOOB.{)0036 4 , 3. Condition of Aooroval: Submit an ooerations and maintenance olan for the - - swales. The olan should desilmate maintenance responsibility for operatinl! and maintaininl! the svstem.

Satisfactory pollutant removal will occur only when the vegetation has been fully established. 4. Condition of Apvroval: The private vel!etative water Qualitv infiltration swale and basin shall be fullv vel!etated with all vegcetation species established orior to approval of Final Occupancv.
