Finding: Section 4.3-l'05.A"ofthe SDC requires that sanitary sewers shall be instal1eg,to
serve each new development and tq connect developments to existing mains. J.
Additionally, installation of sanitaiysewers shall provide sufficient access for
maintenance activities.
, Finding.~ The applicant has propos\;d to maintain the current connection io:the existing 8J
sanitary sewer line located in 44th Street, as shown on plan sheet Cl. .
. Finding: Pursuant to Chapter 3.03.4.A of the City's Engineering Design Standards and ./
Procedures Manual and Section 4.4 of Port Ian d's. Storm water Management Manual, solia ../
waste storage areas shall be covered and hydraulically isolated from potential stormwater
runoff, and directed to the sanitaryi'sewer system. The applicant has complied with this
, section of the code by isolating the'trash/recycie area as shown on plan sheet Cl.
STORMW A TER MANAGEMENT
Finding: Section 4.3-11 O.B of the SDC requires that the Approval Authori~ shall grantJ
" development approval only where adequate public and/or private stormwater
management systems provisions have been made as determined by the PuBlic Works
Director, consistent with the Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual
~~~. .
Finding: Section 4.3-11 O.D of the SDC requires that run-off from a development shall be/
' directed to an approved stormwater management system with sufficient capacity to .
accept the discharge. Section 4.3-11 O.E of the SDC requires new developments to
, employ drainage management praCtices, which minimize' the amount and rate of swface
. water run-off into receiving streams, and which promote water quality.
Finding: To comply with Sections 4.3-l10.D & E, stormwater runoff from the site will
be directed into a vegetative swa1e :prior to discharge into the public system. The
connection to the public system will be at the eastern edge of the site as shown on sheet

WATER DUALITY
Finding: Under Federal regulation of the Clean Water Act (CW A), Endangered Specifs
Act (ESA), and National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES),~e City f
Springfield has obtained a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit.
provision ofthis permit requires the City demonstrate'efforts to reduce the p IOn in
urban stormwater to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP).
Finding: Federal and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) rules
require the City's MS4 plan address six "Minimum Control Measures." Minimum
J
Control Measure 5, "Post-Construction Stormwater Management for New ~e10pment
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 in stormwater
1UI)0ffto the MEP. The City must also develop and implement strategies that iriclud~ a
combination of structural or non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) J
al'l-"Vl':;ated'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 mech~s
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-llO.E of the 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 J.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).
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.
. Finding: To meet the requirements.ofthe City's MS4 permit, the Springfield. /"
Development Code, and the City's EDSPM, the applicant has proposed a vegetative .../.
swale. The planting plan is inconsistent with the requirements of the City of Portland's
Stormwater Management Manual.

Condition: Prior to f'mal site plan approval, provide a landscape and planting plan ..-/
prepared by a licensed Landscape Architect;
Finding: The vegetation proposed for use in the vegetative swale wi1Lseive as the
,I primary pollutant removal mechanism for the stonnwater runoff, and will remove J
.. suspended solids .and pollutants tIu:ough the processes of sedimentation and filtration. .
Satisfactory pollutant removal will:occur only when the vegetation has becin fully
. . established:
Condition: To ensure a fully functioning water quality . system and me~t objectives of
Springfield's MS4 permit, the Springfield D~velopment Code and the EDSPM, the .
proposed vegetative swales,.shaIl' be fully veget. ated with all vegetation species /
. established 'prior to issuance of tl;te tentative occupancy building pel'lll;it. ...../
, Alternatively, is this condition cannot be met, the applicant shall provide and
. I ,. , .'
. maintain ildditionalinterim erosion control/water quality measures acceptable to
the Public Works Department that will suffice until such time as the swale
