" , ., 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. Thurston Elementary School Page 3 Type II Site Plan Approval Application Narrative Mahlum Architects Robertson/Sherwood/Architects pc , .. 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.
