5. Where and what size are the nearest water, storm and sanitary service,adjac~nt to the
property'!
A City sewer map will be brought to the Development ISsues Meeting. This map indicates all
storm and sanitary services within the vicinity of the proposed development. I:
"
"
Sanitary Sewer Service: It is recommended to connect to the existing 10" concrete pipe located
,
east of property in Laura St. as there are two existing laterals already stubbed out to serve this
property. Just north of property located in an adjacent easement, there is an existi&g 48" trunk
line but it is not recommended to connect tothis trunk line due to size and qepth of pipe. If
grades are sufficient; another option for sanitary sewer service is connecting to th~' existing 8"
PVC sanitary line that terminates at the west side of the property located in'Lochayen Ave.
Storm Water Management: The site is relatively flat and there are limited existing storm water
systems available to serve the proposed development. Because of the deptn of existing adjacent
storm water pipe, there may be challenges with grade but as part of any new comriiercial site
developments, a storm water analysis will be required to demonstrate code confonhance with
the City of Springfield Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual. St~eet
improvements will be required along Laura Street fronting the subject property that will include
new street pavement, curb and gutter, sidewalks, street lights, and street trees. If g~ades are
sufficient, it is recommended that site drain to this new curb and gutter system am\' discharge to
the an existing 12" concrete pipe system in Laura Street just south of the property.:, The new site
will be required to meet the storm water quality requirements that include treating ,pO% of the
parking lot area by vegetative means such as a water quality bio-swale. II
