I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND DECISION
'The applicant, Jerry's Home Improvement Center proposes to expand its Springfield store at 2525
Olympic Street. The expansion involves the construction of a new drive-through"sales area
(lumb"r yard), the conversion of existing lumber yard for,retail sales'and the renovation and use
of a large portion of the nearby Wilco building for warehouse space. The application is being
treated as a major modification to the site plan approved for the WalMartlJerry's site in 2000,
./
The new drive-through sales area will be built in an area that is now used for par~ing. To meet
minimum parking requirements, Jerry's will be required to record ajoint use parking agreement
with the owners of the Wilco site. There is sufficient parking for both uses under the shred
parking ,agreement:
The criteria for approving a Major Site Plan Modification are the same as those for Site Plan
Review, Since the new development does little to change the impacts of the original
development, relatively few new conditions of approval were necessary to make this proposal
compliant with applicable development policies and standards. Based on its analysis, staff finds
that the proposed expansion can be made to conform to the Site Plan Review approval criteria for
approval found in SDC 5.17-] 25. The proposaJ.is thereby approved with the following
conditions:
Condition # 1. A stop sign (R]-] as described in the MUTCD) shall be added to, the driveway at
the northwest comer of the property where the frontage road connects to 2]" Street. The sign
shall be located to the north of the driveway within the right of way of 2] " Street:
Condition #2. Each stonnwater catch basin serving the proposed drive-through sales shall be
designed to provide required pretreatment of all collected runoff.
,
Condition #3. The applicant shall provide a Knox keyed gate for the sliding electric gate and a
public works locks for manual swing out gates on the new drive-through sales area,
Condition #4. The applicant shall prepare Joint Use Parking Agreement that is consistent with
the provisions ofSDC Section 4,6-] ] 0 E ]-3 and record that agreement at Lane County Deeds
and Records at the applicant's expense,
'Condition #5. The loading dock drainage system shall be designed with emerge~cy valving to
prevent the accidental discharge of hazardous materials. If the loading dock is not equipped with
emergency valving, the drain will need to be covered with a mat during all loading and unloading
of hazardous, materials.
Condition #6. Wellhead protection signs shall be placed temporarily on the site during
construction and permanently at the loading dock and entrance to the new drive-thru sales area to
alert contractors, subcontractors, employees, and others to the importance of reporting and
cleaning up any spills. Please contact Amy Chinitz (54]-744-3745) to purchase signs from SUB
at the cost of$15/sign .
In addition to the conditions of site plan approval listed above, the following recommendation is
made below to facilitate increased public safety and improve fire access:

Recommendation #1. Remove the two speed bumps installed along the frontag~ road on the
north side of the property. These may be replaced with a "tabletop type" of speed bump that
reduces traffic speed while maintaining safe emergency access to the site,
