Subject: Minimum Development Standards requirements for proposed expansion at 3760 Main Street
which will add a pick.up window to Giant Burger and expand the building footprint with a 12' x 22'
addition.
Dear Mr. Welt:
The Springfield Development Code (SDC) 31.010 requires any business that has changed use or expanded
by no more than fifty percent or 10,000 square feet to be reviewed for Minimum Development Standards
(MDS). These standards help establishments comply with new development standards without the cost and
time required for a full site plan review. Your proposal to expand your current business to approximately
1,288 square feet requires an MDS review, The following conditions must be met at 3760 Main Street to
successfully complete the MDS process:
V Street Trees: The two trees planted along Main Street meet minimum code requirements. The
applicant must consider the following code requirements to determine if additional street tree placement
along 38th Street is required. SDC 32,050(2) requires that 2 inch caliper trees, selected from the City's
street tree list shall be spaced at 30 foot intervals along street property line. The applicant's plan does not
show the distance from the third driveway to the northern property line. Street trees shall not be planted
closer than 35 feet from the perpendicular curb line of intersections of streets and 10 feet from driveways.
/' Sidewalks: The existing sidewalks on Main Street meet minimum code requirements. The
sidewalk on 38th Street is existing non-confonning use. There is no sidewalk between the restaurant
building and the street. Staff recommends that the applicant plant the non-confonning strip along the east
side of the restaurant building, as well as extend the decorative wrought iron or masonry fencing which the
applicant has proposed to use along the 38th Street frontage.
/' Required landscaping: The landscape strip along the frontage of Main Street must be a minimum
of 5 feet in width and planted with plant materials which will cover at least 65% of the required planting
area within 5 years of the date of installation. Except where planted with drought resistant materials, all
planted area must be irrigated.
SDC 3 1.0 I 0(2)(c) states: "Where there is no room for a landscaped strip due to existing
structures, paved parking. . .decorative fencing (e.g., wrought iron or masonry) subject to the height
and vision clearance setbacks of Section 18.100 (2 1/2 foot vision clearance) may be located directly
behind the property line. . . in lieu of the landscape strip. . ." Staff recommends that the applicant
place a decorative fence along the entire length ofthe eastern property line beginning at Main Street and
running north along the 38th Street frontage; or, provide a five-foot.wide landscaped planter strip with
approved irrigation or approved drought resistant plants between the sidewalk (property line) and the
parking areas or structures.
V' Parking lot paving: All customer parking areas must be paved with a durable dust free surface
which includes asphalt concrete or Portland cement. If the value of the paving exceeds $10,000 the project
may be completed within a 3- year time period providing a bond or security deposit is provided for the
value of the paving. The 1,024 square-foot restaurant requires 13 paved parking spaces. The residential
dwelling (existing, non-confonning use) requires an additional 2 parking spaces, for a total of 15 spaces.
