Springfield, OR 97477 Menomonee, WI 53051 I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND DECISION Fresenius Medical Care Clinic of Springfield is a dialysis clinic proposed for a two-lot infill development site on Q Street, just east of 2'd Street. The existing lots are occupied by residences and outbuildings. Several trees are located on the site, requiring a tree-felling permit. A Tree-Felling Permit has been submitted and it shows that many smaller trees will be removed, but four large walnut and evergreen trees will be preserved. The proposed 10,349 square foot clinic will host 18 employees. The facility will provide outpatient care as opposed to overnight care. Based on its analysis, staff finds that the proposed clinic can be made to conform to the Site Plan Review approval criteria found in the Springfield Development Code (SDC) Section 5.17-125. The proposal is thereby approved with the following conditions: Condition of ADDrovo/ #1: Execute and record five feet of street right-of-way dedication along the Q Street site frontage. The existing paving width, the right of way.width, half widths and dedication shall be dimensioned on the final site plan. Condition of ADDrovo/ #2: To ensure continued functioning of the curb inlet the pressure line from the detention basin will need to first discharge into a manhole or other approved structure before gravity flowing into the public system at the curb inlet. Condition of ADDrovo/ #3: Prior to approval of the final site plan, the applicant shall provide an operations and maintenance plan to the City for review to ensure the long-term maintenance and operation of the proposed FLOGARD catch basin insert, consistent with maintenance . criteria required by the manufacturer. The plan should designate maintenance responsibility for operating and maintaining the system, and should be distributed to all property owners and tenants ofthe site. Condition of ADDroval #4: Prior to Final Plat approval, the applicant shall submit a proposed seed mix for the private vegetative water quality swales (bio-swales). The seed mix shall meet the requirements ofthe City's interim design standards as required in Section 3.02 of the EDSPM. The City of Portland stormwater management manual may be referenced for design. Condition of ADDrava/ #5: The proposed grassy swale at the northwest site corner appears to be graded to have only 3-4" of depth. To provide adequate function and avoid overtopping this swale should be 6-12" deep (per the "Grassy Swale" design in the Portland Stormwater Manual). Provide an amended graded plan providing this depth for the bio-swale. Condition of ADDroval #6: To ensure a fully functioning water quality system and meet objectives 'of Springfield's MS4 permit, the Springfield Development Code and the EDSPM, the proposed private vegetative water quality swale shall be shall be fully vegetated with all vegetation species established prior to approval of Final Plat. Alternatively, if this condition cannot be met, the applicant shall provide and maintain additional interim erosion . . 0'!t<t (01 DRC2009-000/4 Site Plan Review Tentative Fresenius Medical Care-Dialysis Clinic May 28, 2009 L^JL^J :J8UUeld :pa^!OO8t1 8Jea 2 . . control/water quality measures acceptable to the Public Works Department that will suffice until such time as the swale vegetation becomes fully established. Condition of Aooroval #7: The Water Protection Coordinator for the Springfield Utility Board submitted a letter to staff on May 6, 2009 outlining a series of actions and prohibitions that are required to protect groundwater resources during the construction of the proposed dialysis clinic and its operation. The May 6 letter was copied to the applicant and the applicant's architect. These requirements are shown below and are incorporated into this decision as Condition of Approval #7: CONSTRUcrlON 1. DNAPL Prohibition: The contractor and all subcontractors are required to provide the owner's engineer with copies of MSDSs for all chemicals proposed for use on-site prior to use or delivery to the property. Based on these MSDSs, the engineer will determine if the chemical is approved for use on this site (i.e., whether or not the product contains DNAPLs). The engineer may contact the SUB Water Quality Protection Coordinator (744:3745) with any questions about evaluating products for DNAPLs. A copy ofthe MSDS for all chemicals used onthe project will remain on the job site as required by law. 2. Chemicol handling, storage, and use: Contractors/developers shall be responsible for the safe handling and storage of chemicals, petroleum products, and fertilizers and the prevention of groundwater and storm water runoff contamination. Chemicals used during construction, including paint and cleaning materials/wastes, must not enter the soil or be washed into the storm water system (as stated in the general construction notes). All chemicals should be stored in adequate secondary containment. 3. Equipment maintenance and fueling: Precautions must be taken to prevent f1uid- containing equipment located outside from leaking, including providing a dedicatedarea for fueling and maintenance of equipment. This area should be prepared and maintained in a way that prevents spills or leaks from migrating to the soil or storm water drainage system. 4. No fill materials containing hazardous materials shall be used on this site. OPERA nONS 5. A Drinking Water Protection Overlay District permit application will be required. This permit will require, among other items, that all chemicals/hazardous materials used inside or outside be stored in appropriate secondary containment and that no DNAPLs are used on or brought to the site. Sealants used in containment areas should be compatible with chemicals stored within them. Please contact me (541.744.3745) with any questions about the DWP application process. 6. Secondary containment will be required for the generator fuel tank and all associated pipes and hoses. Generator cut sheets and a design for a curbed, sealed containment area should be submitted to the City and SUB for approval. The facility hazardous DRC2009-00014 Sile Pian Review Tenlative Fresenius Medical Care-Dialysis Clinic May 28, 2009 Date Received: Planner: MM slp-y (or 3 . . materials management plan should include provisions for protecting catch basin #1 in the event of a spill at the generator site. 7. Fluid-containing equipment located outside the building should be sealed and provided with secondary containment to prevent any fluids from migrating into the storm water drainage system in the event of a spill or leak. More information is needed about the kinds of chemicals to be used in the HVAC system and how they will be contained. 8. If applicable, chemicals stored outdoors (fertilizers, pesticides, etc.] should be covered and placed in secondary containment. 9. Because storm water recharges the aquifer, SUB requests that wellhead protection signs be placed at the site temporarily during construction and permanently at the trash enclosure/generator and southwest parking lot/building entrance to alert contractors, subcontractors, employees, and others to the importance of reporting and cleaning up any spills (sign standard attached). Please contact Amy Chinitz (541-744-3745) if you prefer to purchase signs directly from SUB at the cost of $15/sign. Condition of ADDrovDI #8. The proposed accessways serving the site shall be built to support an 80,000 lb. imposed load per 2007 Springfield Fire Code 503.2.3 and SFC Appendix 0102.1. Condition of ADDrovDI #9. A Fire Department Connection (FOe) shall be required on the above ground vault for supplementing the proposed fire sprinkler system. Immediate access to fire department connections shall be maintained at all times and without obstruction by fences, bushes, trees, walls or any other object for a minimum of 3 feet (2007 Springfield Fire Code 912.3). Condition of ADDroval #10. The site plan shows an emergency generator. Design specifications for the generator need to be provided: More specifically, the including the type of fuel used, size of the tank and whether it is a Levell Emergency Power Supply System per NFPA 110 needs to be clarified. . Condition of ADDrovol #11: The Final Site Plan shall specify that all exterior lighting fixtures including those which are wall-mounted shall have full cut-off optics and supporting . manufactures specifications shall be submitted to confirm the design of those fixtures. Condition of ADDrovol # 12: Free standing lighting fixtures shall be limited to a height of 12 feet wherever such lighting poles are located within 50 feet of an adjacent residentially zoned property. The Final Site Plan shall be adjusted to note exterior lighting poles of appropriate height. II.

Finding #6. The proposed site plan complies with each of the base industrial zone standards found in SDC Section 3.2-420. Conclusion: The proposal satisfies Site Plan Criterion A. "8. Capacity requirements of public and private facilities, including but not limited to, water and electricity; sanitary sewer and storm water management facilities; and streets and traffic safety controls shall not be exceeded and the public improvements shall be available to serve the site at the time of development, unless otherwise provided for by this Code and other applicable regulations. The Public Works Directar or a utility provider shall determine capacity issues." C. The proposed development shall comply with all applicable public and private design and construction standards contained in this Code and other applicable regulations. The staff analysis required to determine findings for Criterion Band C include significant overlap. 'For the purposes of this review, Criteria Band C are.considered together in this section of the staff report. The elements of the Springfield Development Code which apply to Crite'rion Band Criterion C include but are not limited to: . Infrastructure Standards for Transportation-SDC 4.2-100 . Infrastructure Standards for Utilities-SDC 4.3-100 . Landscaping, Screening and Fence Standards-SDC 4.4-100 . On Site Lighting Standards-SDC 4.5-100 . Specific Development Standards-SDC 4.7-100 INFRASTRUCTURE STANOARDS FOR TRANSPORTATION-SOC 4.Z-100 TransDortation System ImDacts SDC Section 4.2-100 through 4.2-160 details infrastructure standards for streets, sidewalks, driveways, accessways, pedestrian trails and related transportation facilities. Additional design standards for transportation facilities are found in the Engineering and Design Standards and Procedures Manual and the City of Springfield Construction Standard Specifications Section(s) 317,501, and 502, and Standard Drawings 5-1 to 5-25. These documents provide specific design standards for streets and accessways. Parking standards are found in SDC Section 4.6-100. Finding #7. The subject site consists of two parcels (Tax Lot 1500 & 1600 of Map 17-03-26- 24) encompassing a'total of 1.23 acres in area on the north side of Q Street (304 Q Street). There is one single story residential structure on each parcel, besides multiple accessory structures, all of which are proposed to be removed. The proposed site plan includes a 10,394 DRC2009-000 14 Site Plan Review Tentative Fresenius Medical Care-Dialysis Clinic May 28, 2009 Date Received: Planner: MM ~/t-v/-, r 9 ) , . . gross square foot medical office building shell to house a future outpatient dialysis clinic which will employ 15-18 employees. The site also includes a parking lot for 38 vehicles. Finding #8. Q Street is a 46-foot wide, two-lane street with a center turning lane within a 70-foot wide right of way. The street is improved with asphalt paving, curb/gutter, on-street bicycle lanes, sidewalks and metal halide street lighting. The street supports multi-modal travel. Traffic volume on Q Street is approximately 8,200 vehicles per' day. Finding #9. SDC 4.2-10S.G.2 requires that whenever a proposed land division or development will increase traffic on the City street system and that development has any unimproved street frontage abutting a fully improved street, that street frontage shall be fully improved to City specifications. Exception (i) notes that in cases of unimproved streets, an . Improvement Agreement shall be required as a condition of Development Approval postponing improvements until such time that a City street improvement project is initiated. Finding #10. . Based on ITE Land Use Code 610 the total trip generation from this development upon completion of the proposed development would be as follows: . Average Weekday = 7.75 trips/employee x 18 employees = 140 trips' . PM Peak Hour = 1.31 trips/employee x 18 employees = 24 trips In addition, the assumed development may generate pedestri~n and bicycle trips. According to the "Household" survey done by LCOG in 1994, 12.6 percent of household trips are made by bicycle or walking and 1.8 percent are by transit bus. These trips may have their origins or destinations at a variety of land uses, including this use. Pedestrian and bicycle trips create the need for sidewalks, pedestrian crossing signals, crosswalks, bicycle parking and bicycle lanes. Finding #11. SDC Table 4.2-1 states that minor arterials should have a minimum of 70 feet of right of way. Though not dimensioned, there are 30 feet of right of way shown on this site plan (by scale) between the centerline of Q Street and the southern property line. Condition of ADDraval #1: Execute and record five feet of street right-of-way dedication along the Q Street site frontage. The existing paving width, the right of way width, half widths and dedication shall be dimensioned on the final site plan. INFRASTRUCTURE STANDARDS FOR UTILlTIES-SOC 4.3-100 SDC Section 4.3-100 through 4.3-145 details infrastructure standards for sanitary sewers, stormwater systems, water quality protection, natural resource protection, water and electric utilities, and public easements. Additional design standards for these facilities are found in the Springfield Engineering and Design Standards and Procedures. Section 4.3-130.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 (SUB) coordinates the design of the water system within Springfield city limits. DRC2009-00014 Site Plan R<Niew Tentative Fresenius Medicai Care-Diaiysis Clinic May 28, 2009 Date Received: 6/q (.1 Planner: MM /0 . . Section 4.3-140.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 #12. The proposed development is curr~ntly served with two %" residential services; one for each of the two tax lots in this development. A larger capacity line needs to be constructed to serve the site as a commercial use and for fire service. A new service will require tapping the existing SUB main that is located in Q Street. The required pavement cutting and tap shall be at owner/developer expense. SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS - SDC 4.3-105 SDC Section 4.3-105.A requires that sanitary sewers shall be installed to serve e'ach new development and to connect developments to existing mains. Additionally, installation of sanitary sewers shall provide sufficient access for maintenance activities. SDC Section 4.3-105.C requires that proposed sewer systems shall include design consideration of additional development within the area as projected by the Metro Plan. Section 2.02.1 of the City's Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual (EDSPM) states that when land outside a new development will logically direct flow to sanitary sewers in the new development, the sewers shall be public sewers and shall normally extend to one or more of the property boundaries. 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. STORM WATER MANAGEMENT - SDC 4.3-110 . Section 4.3-110.B ofthe 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 Manuol (EDSPM). Section 4.3-110.D ofthe 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 4.3-110.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 #13. The existing public stormwater system, to which the applicant proposes . connection, has limited capacity. The applicant has turned in hydrologic stormwater calculations, consistent with the City's EDSPM, showing that the proposed detention pond will DRC2009-00014 Site Plan Review Tentative Date Received: ::J 12...<;! c( Fresenius Medical Care-Dialysis Clinic M May 28, 2009 Planner: M II . . limit the peak stormwater discharge rates to the pre-developed 2-year storm event for both the 2 and 2S-year post-developed storm event, thereby limiting the flow into the existing system. Finding #14. The applicant is proposing using a pump to fully drain the detention basin. The output of the pump will be directed directly into an existing curb inlet catch basin along Q St. Condition of Approval #2: To ensure continued functioning of the curb inlet the pressure line from the detention basin will need to first discharge into a manhole or other approved structure before gravity flowing into the public system at the curb inlet. WATER QUALllY PROTECTION - SOC 4.3-115 Under Federal regulation of the Clean Water Act (CWA). Endangered Species Act (ESA). and National Pollutant 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). . Federal and Oregon Department of EnvironmentalQuality (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. 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. Minimum Control Measure S 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). 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.'" Section 3.02 ofthe City's EDSPM states the Public Works Department will accept, as interim design standards for stormwater quality, water quality facilities designed pursuant to the policies and procedures of either the City of Portland (BESl, or the Clean Water Services (CWS). Section 3.03.3.B of the City's EDSPM states all public and private development and redevelopment projects shall employ a system of one or more post-developed BMPs that in combination are designed to achieve at least a 70 percent reduction in the total suspended solids in the runoff generated by that development. Section 3.03.4.E of the manual requires a minimum of SO percent of the non-building rooftop impervious area on a site shall be treated for stormwater quality improvement using vegetative methods. DRC2009-000 14 Site Plan Review Tentative Fresenius Medical Care-Dialysis Clinic May 28, 2009 Date Received: Planner: MM /2 r;(t-<i 1~1 .1 . . The vegetation proposed for use in the swales will serve as the primary pollutant removal mechanism for the stormwater runoff, and will remove suspended solids and pollutants through the processes of sedimentation and filtration. Satisfactory pollutant removal will occur only when the vegetation has been fully established. Condition of Aoorovol #3: Prior to approval of the final site plan, the applicant shall provide an operations and maintenance plan to the City for review to ensure the long-term maintenance and operation of the proposed FLOGARD catch basin insert, consistent with maintenance criteria required by the manufacturer. The plan should designate maintenance responsibility for operating and maintaining the system, and should be distributed to all property owners and tenants of the site. Condition of Aoorovol #4: Prior to Final Plat approval, the applicant shall submit a proposed seed mix for the private vegetative water quality swales (bio-swales). The seed mix shall meet the requirements of the City's interim design standards as required in Section 3.02 of the EDSPM. The City of Portland stormwater management manual may be referenced for design. Condition of Aoorovol #5: The proposed grassy swale at the northwest site corner appears to be graded to have only 3-4" of depth. To provide adequate function and avoid overtopping this swale should be 6-12" deep (per the "Grassy Swale" design in the Portland Stormwater Manual). Provide an amended graded plan providing this depth for the bio-swale. Condition of Aoorovol #6: To ensure a fully functioning water quality system and meet objectives of Springfield's MS4 permit, the Springfield Development Code and the EDSPM, the proposed private vegetative water quality swale shall be shall be fully vegetated with all vegetation species established prior to approval of Final Plat. Alternatively, ifthis condition cannot be met, the applicant shall provide and maintain additional interim erosion control/water quality measures acceptable to the Public Works Department that will suffice until such time as the swale vegetation becomes fully established. DRINKING WATER PROTECTION STANOARDS-SDC 3.3-235 The Drinking Water Protection (DWP) Overlay District is established to protect aquifers used as potable water supply sources by the City from contamination. This Section establishes procedures and standards for the physical use of hazardous materials harmful to groundwater within TOTZ by new and existing land uses requiring development approval. The applicant is required to demonstrate that the proposal will protect drinking water in accordance with SDC 3.3-200. Where the proposed use(s}, occupancy or tenancy of the subject property will affect use, storage, and/or production of hazardous materials that pose a risk to ground water or increase the quantity of hazardous materials that pose a risk to ground water, secondary containment must be provided in accordance with the applicable TOTZ standards. In some cases (e.g. retailers which store and sell products containing hazardous materials), industrial uses, medical facilities, etc.). building permit plans and/or site plans may need to in'corporate secondary containment and/or other protective measures (e.g. special flooring designs and drain shut-off valves to manage spills). 'DRC2009-00014 Site Plan Review Tentative Fresenius Medical Care-Dialysis Clinic May 28, 2009 Date Received: Planner: MM 5/~(of /3 . . Finding #15. According to the City's Wellhead Protection Maps, the subject site is within the boundaries of the Drinking Water Protection (DWP) Overlay District. This property overlies portions of the 5 -10 and 10 - 20 year time-of-travel (TOT) zones to the "Q" Street Well. DNAPL chemicals are prohibited at this site.
