The recommended findings and conditions outlined below are provided for your use in preparing the land-use decision. SANITARY SEWER Finding: Section 4.3-105.A of the SDC requires that sanitary sewers shall be installed to serve each new development and to connect developments to existing mains. Additionally, installation of sanitary sewers shall provide sufficient access for maintenance activities. Finding: The applicant has proposed to connect to the existing sanitary sewer line located in the alley along the south side of the parcel, as shown on plan sheet C4. Finding: Pursuant to Chapter 3.03.4.A of the City's Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual and Section 4.4 of Portland's Stormwater Management Manual, solid waste storage areas shall be covered and hydraulically isolated from potential stormwater runoff, and directed to the sanitary sewer system. The applicant has complied with this section of-the code as shown on plan sheet C4: STORMW A TER MANAGEMENT Finding: Section 4.3- I IO.B of the SDC requires that the Approval Authority shall grant development approval only where adequate public and/or private stormwater management systems provisions have been made as determined by the Public Works Director, consistent with the Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual (EDSPM). Finding: Section 4.3-11 O.D of the SDC requires that run-off from a development shall be directed to an approved stormwater management system with sufficient capacity to accept the discharge. Section 4.3- I I O.E of the SDC requires new developments to employ drainage management practices, which minimize the amount and rate of surface water run-off into receiving streams, and which promote water quality. Finding: To comply with Sections 4.3-1 IO.D & E, stormwater runoff from the rooftop will be directed into the public system. The applicant proposes to connect to the public system as shown on sheet C4. . e. .J~ WATEROUALITY Finfling: Under Federal regulation of the Clean Water Act (CW A), Endangered Species Act (ESA); and'NationalPollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), the City of Springfield has obtained a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. A provision of this permit requires the City demonstrate efforts to reduce the pollution in urban stormwater to the Maximum Extent Practicable (MEP). Finding: Federal and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) rules require the City's MS4 plan address six "Minimum Control Measures." Minimum Control Measure 5, "Post-Construction Stormwater Management for New Development and Redevelopment," applies to the proposed development. Finding: Minimum Control Measure 5 requires the City of Springfield to develop, implement and enforce a program to ensure the reduction of pollutants in stormwater runoff to the MEP. The City must also develop and implement strategies that include a combination of structural or non-structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) appropriated for the community. Finding: Minimum Control Measure 5 requires the City of Springfield use an ordinance or other regulatory mechanism to address post construction runoff from new and re- development projects to the extent allowable under State law. Regulatory mechanisms used by the City include the Springfield Development Code (SDC), the City's Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual (EDSPM) and the future Stormwater Facilities Master Plan (SFMP). Finding: As required in Section 4.3-110.E of the SDC, "a development shall be required to employ drainage management practices approved by the Public Works Director and consistent with Metro Plan policies and the Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual." Finding: Section 3.02 of the City's EDSPM states the Public Works Department will accept, as interim design standards for storm water quality, water quality facilities designed pursuant to the policies and procedures of either the City of Portland (BES), or the Clean Water Services (CWS). PUBLIC STREETS. SIDEWALKS & IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENTS UTILITIES. EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS OF WAY Finding: Section 4.3-l30.A of the Springfield Development Code requires each development area to be provided with a water system having sufficiently sized mains and lesser lines to furnish adequate supply to the development and sufficient access for maintenance. Springfield Utility Board coordinates the design of the water system within Springfield city limits. Finding: Section 4.3-l40.A of the SDC requires applicants proposing developments make arrangements with the City and each utility provider for the dedication of utility .; . .- . easements necessary to fully service the development or land beyond the development area. The minimum width for public utility easements adjacent to street rights of ways shall be 7 feet. The minimum width for all other public utility easements shall be 7 feet. The Public Works Director may require a larger easement to allow for adequate maintenance. Finding: There are no existing easements shown sheet Cl.O, Cl.I, or Cl.2. No additional easements are proposed at this time.
