Zoning:
The site is within the City of Springfield's Urban Growth boundary and is zoned PlO, Schools are a
permitted "special use" category. The adjacent lots are privately owned residential properties atthe south
and southwest portion of the site. Properties to the north, east and northwest are currently in agricultural
use. '
Student Population:
There are currently about 47:5 students enrolled at Thurston Elementary School.' It is anticipated that this
number will not change significantly with the construction of the replacement school. The new school is
designed to accommodate up to about 500 students. '
Site Access /,Transportation:
Primary vehicular access will be off of Thurston Road with the bus drop off lane separated from the public
access drive, There will be pedestrian access to the site from Thurston Road and from a pedestrian alley
off of the residential area at the southwest corner of the site. Students arrive either by bus, walking or am
dropped off by their parents., The number 6f students typically dropped off versus walking are described in
the Traffic Impact Study. An assessment of school zone signage and crossings along with the number and
type of busses anticipated at the site is also included in the Traffic Impact Study.

Bicycle Parking': ' i , . . J '"
., ....
Covered long and short term bicycle parking will be provided adjacent to the bus drop off just north of the
main entry side. Additional uncovered bicycle parking will be provided south of the main entry. All bicycle
parking spaces will conform to the standards listed in SDC 4.6-140. Single loop bike racks will be
provided similar to the staple rack indicated in Figure 4.6-B. Each paired bike space at the rack is a
minimum of 4' x 6' and at the long term area will have a covering with a minimum 7' clear head room.
Areas of covered bike shelter are indicated on the drawings. The District has applied for a grant to add
additional covered bike shelter. If approved the area of bike shelter would be enlarged from what is'
currently indicated on the attached plans. "

.,
Bicycle Parking
Code Required: 500 students'require 63 spaces with 16 of them long term:'and 47 short term.
Total bicycle parking spaces provided: 64 spaces
16 covered
48 uncovered
Loading Areas:
The school function of the project does not require significant amounts of loading or unloading to occur
since products are not manufactured or sold at the site and the site does not appear to fall under the
loading requirements of Development Code 4.6-130 since it is not a commercial or industrial development.
None-the-Iess the site will receive deliveries. These will mostly be limited to office and educational -
supplies and food products. For this purpose there is a loading area at the screened service court.
Occasional and small front office deliveries can also be made at the front area drop off zone.
Utility Infrastructure:
The project site is served by adequate public utilities, The project proposes to extend these utilities on the
project site, to provide adequate fire protection and utility services for ttie proposed school building. All
new utilities will be placed underground. Refer to the drawings included with this application for
description and location of the proposed utility extensions.'
Stormwater Management:
The site is designed so that all non rooftop impervious surfaces stormwater runoff will be pretreated
through drainage swales prior to being piped into the publicstormwater system. Building rooftop run-off
will be captured by external downspouts that connect to the stormwater system. The site is served by an
existing stormwater line running along Thurston Street.
Floodplain:
The property is not in area of flood plain.
Wetlands:
The property has identified wetlands on the site. The Department of State lands (DSl) has received the
wetland delineation report that Mason, Bruce & Girard, Inc. prepared on behalf of Springfield School
District 19. The DSl file number is WD'2007-0524. It has been assigned to Anna Buckley at (503) 986-
5321. Based upon DSl's work and priority system, the report has been assigned to a Tier 2 review
(greater than 120+ days). DSl Staff will review the report but they are not able to provide an estimated
time line for the review. DSl has advised the District that their review could take several months and has
apologized that they are unable to provide prompt review of all delineation reports. With this in mind, the
District has proposed a development that avoids triggering 'the need for a wetland fill permit and we see no
reason to anticipate that DSl will question our consultant's delineation report.
Drinking Water Overlay District:
The site is located in the unregulated Zone of Concentration. The proposed building is for educational
use. The project does not propose to store, handle or use materiais which are listed as hazardous
materials except for those conditions exempt from regulation per SDC Section 3.3-200. The building is
being planned to include rooftop mounted HVAC units. These-units will be provided with spill pans that will
be piped to the sanitary sewer system. landscape maintenance is handled by the School District. No
landscape maintenance materials, including fertilizers, are stored on site.

..
The proposed emergency generator will be located in the service court and be designed with double wall
type fuel tank. If a leak occurs in the main fuel tank, a secondary tank with an audible and visual alarm
contains any leakage.
Fire Protection:
The school will be fully sprinklered. location of the fire hydrants and fire department connection (FDC)
has been coordinated with the, Fire Marshal. Fire truck access to the buildings is accomplished by a
partial length 20 foot wide access route originating at the south end of the bus drop zone and heading
along the north end of the building and south along the east side of the building. The route terminates
before the beginning of the wetlands and a hammerhead tumaround in along this route. A partial 20 foot
, wide, lane along the west side of the building travels up the to the hard play area where a hammer head
turn will be provided. The route will be marked and designed to support 80,000 pound wheel loads. Per
meetings with the Fire Marshall Aerial Fire Apparatus Access Roads will not be required since the eaves
of the school will be less than 30 feet in height. For Fire Department convenience a loop size for a large
fire truck turn around will be provided at the end of the bus drop for non-fire emergency visits.
Trees:
There are several existing trees on the site. A few will be removed" refer to attached Tree Felling
Application., Numerous additional trees will be added per the attached landscape plans.
Irrigation: .
The landscape will be a combination of irrigated shrub and lawn areas, and drought tolerant shrub and
seeded areas which will not be irrigated. The irrigated areas will have a fully automatic irrigation system
which conforms to the Springfield Public Schools irrigation standards. The non-irrigated areas are
designed to require no supplemental water once established. During the establishment period th~ schools'
maintenance staff will hand-water as needed. To aid watering, city-standard perforated pipe root watering
systems will be provided at non-irrigated trees, and additional mainlines and quick-couplers will be
provided as needed to hand-water shrubs and trees. Hydro-seeding will occur at the start of the wet
season to ensure germination and establishment.
Fencing:
The perimeter of the site will have a 6 feet tall chain link fence. A detail of the fence is included in the
landscape drawings. '
Building Height:
In the PlO zone, 'Special Use Standards for Elementary Schools" restrict the school to a height not to '
exceed 35 feet at mid height of the roof. The maXimum mid-roof height of the buildings are under 35 feet.
Screening:
The trash and recycling areas are located within the screened service courts. Rooftop mechanical units
will be screened from view.
