MEMORANDUM
City of Springfield
DATE: March 9, 2010
TO: Andy Limbird, Urban Planner
FROM: Eric Walter, Civil Engineer
SUBJECT: ZON2010-00002 Dukes and Dukes Partition DIM
Public Works Engineering Comments
The subject application involves tax lot 11300. The applicant submitted plans to discuss partitioning
one lot into two parcels. This lot is currently under construction with (4) duplexes. Public Works
Engineering responses to the applicant's questions are as follows:
Applicant's Questions:
1. We have designed the partition to have equal parcels after recording. This will keep the
current density at 14.6 units/acre (non-conforming use) on each parcel, but will not
increase the non-conformity to the density standard. Will thc City of Springfield accept
this logic and allow the partition to be approved in regards to density standards?
Planning Department will respond to this question.
r
2. The existing lot is only 70 feet in width. Therefore, a minor variance would be required to
adjust the minimum lot width requirement in the code. The code requirement is 60 feet,
and to keep this as a minor variance, the maximum adjustment could be an 18 foot
reduction (30%). We are proposing to reduce the width ofthe frontage 5 feet to a lot
width of 55 feet. Would the City of Springfield support this variance for this proposal?
Planning Department will respond to this question.
3. Since the lot is now LDR, the code only requires a panhandle with of14 feet. Therefore,
we do not believe a variance would be required for the panhandle width. We still will
construct a 20 wide driveway in the easement that was sbown on the site review to
maintain safe ingress/egress and for fire safety. Does the City of Springfield agree that a
variance is not needed for the panhandle as proposed?
Planning Department and Transportation Section will respond to this question.
4. We did not see any other variances that would be needed to meet code criteria for a
partition. Does the City of Springfield see any other issues with this proposed partition
that would prevent approval?
The subdivision lots, to the south, are served by the existing 8" sanitary sewer main running
east-west along the northerly property boundary of the subject property. The partition plan
will need to include all existing and proposed, private and public easements on subject
property. Each sanitary sewer lateral (from southerly lots) that is crossing subject property
will need to be located in a private easement and detailed on the partition plans. The existing
(or proposed) public sanitary sewer easement shall be included on plans for the existing 8"
sanitary sewer main running east-west.

The original site plan approvedfor this development includes a storm water facility that
indicates a water quality bio-swale on the South-west end of property. The approval of
proposed partition will require that storm water facilities be constructed as approved on final
site plan and all necessary storm water easements be provided as property will now be divided.
Please also review the water quality bioswale for possible conflict with the proposed water line
running east-west along the south side of property.
Additional Staff Comments:
The tentative partition plan will need to include a 7' PUE along the street frontage for all
public utilities including the existing SUB electric power lines.
The tentative partition plan will need to include a PUE, with a width acceptable by SUB
electric for containing the existing SUB power lines running along the south side of property.
