CitY of Soringfield
DATE: June 25, 2009
TO: Andy Limbird, Urban Planner
FROM: Richard Perry, Engineer-in- Training
SUBJECT: ZON2009-00017 Musgrove Subdivision DIM
Transportation Comments
The subjectapplication involves tax lots 3702, 3704, 3705, and 3706 located at 7390 McKenzie
Hwy. The applicant submitted plans to discuss creating a 30 lot subdivision rrom 4 existing lots.
Applicant's Questions:
1. Are there any access issues on this portion ofthe Highway? Would widening and/or
traffic control devices be a requirement? Will a traffic study be re,quired?
Access to Hwy 126 is governed by ODOr. There is a current trend to minimize access
points along this highway wherever possible, to accommodate safe ingress and egress.
The nature of the access and the proposed development would require a TlA (Traffic
Impact Analysis). Scoping of the TIA would include analysis and reco~mendations for
widening along Main St. (Hwy 126), traffic control devices, street network connectivity
and circulation issues. This study would be reviewed by the City Staff qnd ODOT to
determine what decision would be made with respect to any application. The applicant
can also use this study to propose their own design at this intersection, ie. Roundabout,
traffic signal, stop control, etc.
2. Are there connecting street designs to the east and south that would dictate our
development layout?
Yes. The conceptual street plan shows streets to the east and south. This should be taken
"
into consideration when contemplating the street layout of this property. To the south
lies an open ditch and an analysis should be completed to determine if viable connection
could be made to the extension of Daisy St. In addition, the reserve areas for street
connections to the east should be evaluated for practical connection ai.zd proportional lot
size on adjacent property.
3. Are there any utility extension issues or unforeseen opportunities from the west or
southwest that could be available to our development? What special permits, if any,
are needed to extend these utilities within an ODOT right-of-way? What are the
costs, hurdles, and timeframe for this kind of public improvement?
PW Engineering will answer this question.

4. To what extent will stormwater need to be treated before entering into the City
system? Could you provide an indication ofthe type and scope of the required .
system? Are there other options for stormwater' management?
PW Engineering will answer this question.
5. Are there any hillside development issues that need to be specifically addressed or
that would preclude this development? . .
No. There are no standards with respect to hillside development that "I1!ould preclude this
development. Chapter 7 of the City of Springfield Public Works Engineering Design
Standards and Procedures Manual (EDSPM) refers to hillside develop}nent. All
applicable.code within this chapter must be applied to the development and any best
practices that apply to hillsides not in the manual should be considered.
