unless otherwise provided for by this Code and other applicable regulations. The Public Works
Director or a utility provider shall determine capacity issues.
General Finding 4: For all public improvements, the applicant shall retain a private professional civil
engineer to design the partition improvements in conformance with City codes, this decision, and the current
Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual (EDSPM). The private civil engineer also shall be
required to provide construction inspection services.
General Finding 5: City Building Permits are required for installation of private utilities. Developers are
advised to obtain necessary City permits prior to initiation of construction activity.
General Finding 6: The Public Works Director's representatives have reviewed the proposed partition. City
staffs review comments have been incorporated in fmdings and conditions contained herein. Staff advises
that most of the applicable Code standards have been addressed through Site Plan Review approval
DRC2005-00072.
General Finding 7: Criterion C contains sub-elements and applicable code standards. The partition
application as submitted complies with the code standards listed under each sub-element unless otherwise
noted with specific findings and conclusions. The sub-elements and code standards of Criterion C include but
are not limited to:
Public improvements in accordance with SDC 4.2-100 and 4.3-100
o Public and Private Streets (SDC 4.2-105 - 4.2-145)
o Sanitary Sewer Improvements (SDC 4.3-105)
o Stormwater Management (SDC 4.3-110 - 4.3-115)
o Utilities (SDC 4.3-120 - 4.3-130)
o Water Service and Fire Protection (SDC 4.3-130)
o Public and Private Easements (SDC 4.3-140)
Public and Private Streets
Finding 8: Section 4.2-105.G.2 of the Springfield Development Code 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 as a
City street improvement project is initiated.
Finding 9: In accordance with SDC 4.2-105.G.2.a, when fully improved street right-of-way abuts the
property line of the subject property, street improvements shall be constructed across the entire property
frontage.
3
.
.
Finding 10: The subject property has frontage on 28th Street along the east boundary. Along the site
frontage, 28th Street is developed as a 36-foot wide paved minor arterial street within a 50-foot wide right-
of-way. Average daily traffic on this street is estimated to be 7,000 vehicle trips per day. The street
provides one travel lane in each direction and a bi-directional center turning lane. The street is fully
improved to urban standards with a. paved surface, curb and gutter, curbside sidewalks, and metal halide
street lighting.
Finding 11: In accordance with SDC 4.3-140, new street trees are required where development abuts
public street rights-of-way. Where street trees cannot be planted in the right-of-way, existing trees in the
front yard setback can be substituted for street trees in accordance with SDC 4.2-140.B. Maintenance of
street trees on private property is the responsibility of the landowner.
Finding 12: The applicant is required to plant street trees along the 28th Street frontage of Parcel 2 in
accordance with the approved Final Site Plan (DRC2005-00072). Installation of street trees and other site
landscaping is required prior to issuance of final occupancy for the duplex dwellings.
Conclusion: As proposed, existing transportation facilities would be adequate to accommodate the additional
volume of traffic generated by the proposed development in a safe and efficient manner.
Sanitary Sewer Improvements
Finding 13: Section 4.3-105.A of the SDC requires that sanitary sewers shall be installed to serve each new
development and to cormect developments to existing mains. Additionally, installation of sanitary sewers
shall provide sufficient access for maintenance activities.
Finding 14: The applicant obtained site plan approval and installed sanitary sewer cormections to serve the
development site in accordance with City building permit requirements. All associated public and private
sanitary sewer easements have been provided already or are shown on the proposed partition plan. Therefore,
sanitary sewer service requirements have been met.
Finding 15: Staff observes that two "existing" sanitary sewer laterals are depicted as originating off-site from
Tax Lot 11500 and cormecting with the 8-inch sanitary sewer line that runs east-west. along the northern
boundary of the site. One lateral crosses near the midpoint of proposed Parcell, and the second passes to the
south and west of the westernmost duplex dwelling. City staff was unable to confirm the presence of the
"existing" sewer line passing along the south and west side of the duplex dwelling on proposed Parcel 1. For
this reason, it is possible this second sewer lateral is shown in error. The applicant should verify the location
of the correct "existing" sanitary sewer lateral serving Tax Lot 11500.
Stormwater Management
Oualitv
Finding 16: Under Federal regulation of the Clean Water Act (CWA), Endangered Species Act (ESA), and
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), the City of Springfield is required to obtain,
and has applied for, a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4) permit. A provision of this permit
requires the City to demonstrate efforts to reduce the pollution in urban stormwater to the Maximum Extent
Practicable (MEP).
Finding 17: Federal and Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) rules require the City's
MS4 plan to address six "Minimum Control Measures". Minimum Control Measure 5, "Post-Construction
Stormwater Management for New Development and Redevelopment", applies to the proposed
development.
4
.
.
. Finding 18: 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 also
must develop and implement strategies that include a combination of structural or non-structural Best
Management Practices (BMPs) appropriate for the community.
Finding 19: Minimum Control Measure 5 requires the City of Springfield to 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 SDC, the City's
Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual and the future Stormwater Facilities Master Plan
(SFMP).
Finding 20: As required in SDC 4.3-IIO.E, "a development shall be required to employ drainage
management practices approved by the Public Works Director and consistent [with] the Engineering
Design Standards and Procedures Manuaf'.
Finding 21: Section 3.02 of the 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 (BES), or the Clean Water Services (CWS).
Finding 22: In accordance with the approved Final Site Plan for the site, the applicant is directing runoff from
the paved driveway serving Parcels I and 2 to a valley gutter and filtering catch basin located in the driveway
at the northwest corner of Parcel 2. Runoff from Parcels I and 2 will be directed to a grassy swale located at
the southeast edge of the site. Both the stormwater filtering catch basin and the grassy swale tie in to a 10-
inch stormwater line that connects to the public stormwater system in 28th Street.
Finding 23: The on-site system that manages stormwater for proposed Parcels I and 2 will require a private
joint-use access, maintenance and stormwater drainage easement to ensure it is adequately maintained and
continues to serve its intended function. A maintenance agreement will be required for the grassy swale on
Parcel 2 that manages stormwater originating from both parcels.
Ouantitv
Finding 24: Section 4.3-IIO.B of the SDC requires that the Approval Authority shall grant development
approval only where adequate public and/or private stormwater management system provisions have been
made as determined by the Public Works Director, consistent with the EDSPM.
Finding 25: Section 4.3-110.0 of the SDC requires that runoff from a development shall be directed to an
approved stormwater management system with sufficient capacity to accept the discharge.
Finding 26: Section 4.3-11 O.E of the SDC requires new developments to employ drainage management
practices that minimize the amount and rate of surface runoff into receiving streams, and that promote water
quality.
Finding 27: As noted above, the stormwater management systems have been approved under previous land
use applications and permits; therefore, subject to the conditions noted herein, stormwater requirements have
been met.
Conditions of Approval:
1. Prior to' or concurrent with recording of the Final Plat, the applicant shall execute and record a
storm water drainage easement across Parcel 2 for the benefit of Parcel I.
5
.
.
2. Prior to approval of the Final Plat, the applicant shall prepare and submit a JOInt access and
maintenance agreement for the stormwater management swale that is satisfactory to the City's Public
Works Department.
3. Prior to or concurrent with recording of the Final Plat, the applicant shall record the joint access and
maintenance agreement for the storm water management swale.
Utilities
Finding 28: Section 4.3-120.B of the SDC requires each developer to make arrangements with the utility
provider to provide utility lines and facilities to serve the development area. Springfield Utility Board
(SUB) Electric is the provider for electrical service to the subject property.
Finding 29: The applicant is responsible for the cost of design and installation of utility lines and facilities.
In accordance with SDC 4.3-125, all utility lines installed to serve the development area shall be placed
underground. Utilities required to serve the duplex dwellings are to be installed in accordance with the
approved Final Site Plan for the site (DRC2005-00072).
Finding 30: There are existing overhead power lines that run along the entire southern and western
boundary, and along a portion of the northern boundary of the site. The applicant is proposing to record a
5-foot wide utility easement to accommodate the power line and appurtenances.
Water Service and Fire Protection
Finding 31: Section 4.3-130.A of the SDC 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. SUB Water coordinates the design of the water system within
Springfield city limits. All new water system facilities and modifications required to serve the proposed
partition area must be placed in the public right-of-way and constructed in accordance with SUB Water
standards.
Finding 32: The water services required to ,serve the development area have been installed in accordance
with the approved Final Site Plan (DRC2005-00072). The proposed utility easement described above also
will accommodate SUB water service to the dwellings on Parcels I and 2.
Finding 33: There is an existing fire hydrant located on the southwest corner of G Street at 28th Street,
approximately 100 feet north of the subject site.
Public and Private Easements
Finding 34: Section 4.3-140.A of the SDC requires applicants proposing developments to 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 PUEs
adjacent to street rights-of-way shall be 7 feet. The minimum width for all other public utility easements
shall be 7 feet unless the Public Works Director requires a larger easement to allow for adequate
maintenance.
Finding 35: The applicant is proposing to record a 7-foot wide PUE along the 28th Street frontage of the
site.
Finding 36: There is an existing variable-width public sanitary sewer easement that runs along the west
252 feet of the northern site boundary. The applicant is proposing to extend the easement area along the
remaining portion of the northern site boundary - a distance of approximately 90 feet - to the eastern
boundary of Parcel 2.
6
.
.
Finding 37: Three existing 10-foot wide L-shaped utility easements and a linear 10-foot wide utility
easement run north-south within Parcels I and 2 and connect with the existing variable-width public sewer
easement. The four north-south oriented utility easements accommodate offsite sanitary sewer connections
from properties to the south of the subject area.
Finding 38: As stated previously, the applicant is proposing to record a 5-foot wide utility easement along
portions of the south, west and north boundary of the site to accommodate the existing overhead power
lines and SUB water service to Parcels I and 2.
Finding 39: The applicant is proposing to record a 10xl0-foot private utility easement near the midpoint of
the south boundary of Parcel I to accommodate an existing sanitary sewer lateral originating in Tax Lot
11500.
. Finding 40: The applicant is proposing to record a variable-width irrevocable access easement across the
driveway and turnaround hammerhead that serves Parcels I and 2.
Finding 41: Because stormwater originating in Parcel I is conveyed and managed on Parcel 2, a joint
maintenance and stormwater management easement will be required across Parcel 2 for the benefit of
Parcel I (Condition I).
Finding 42: The existing and proposed easements, and the stormwater drainage easement described in
Condition I (above), should be adequate to serve the development area.
Conclusion: As conditioned herein, this proposal satisfies Criterion C.
D. The proposed development shall comply with all applicable public and private design and
construction standards contained in this Code and other applicahle regulations.
General Finding 43: Criterion D contains two elements with sub-elements and applicable Code standards.
The partition application as submitted complies with the code standards listed under each sub-element unless
otherwise noted with specific fmdings and conclusions. The elements, sub-elements and Code standards of
Criterion D include but are not limited to:
D.I Conformance with standards of SDC 3.2-200 (Residential Zoning), SDC 4.4-100 (Landscaping,
Screening and Fence Standards), SDC 4.6-100 (Vehicle Parking, Loading and Bicycle Parking
Standards), and SDC 5.17-100 (Site Plan Review)
o Parcel Coverage and Setbacks (SDC 3.2-215)
o Height Standards (SDC 3.2-215)
o Landscaping Standards (SDC 4.4-105)
o Screening (SDC 4.4-110)
o Fence Standards (SDC 4.4-115)
o On-Site Lighting Standards (SDC 4.5-100)
o Vehicle Parking Standards (SDC 4.6-100)
D.2 Overlay Districts and Applicable Refinement Plan Requirements
o The site is within the 5-10 year Time of Travel Zone for the Maia drinking water well.
o The site is not within an adopted Refmement Plan area.
D.1 Conformance with standards of SDC 3.2-200 (Residential Zoning), SDC 4.4-100 (Landscaping,
Screening and Fence Standards), SDC 4.6-100 (Vehicle Parking, Loading and Bicycle Parking
Standards), and SDC 5.17-100 (Site Plan Review)
7
.
.
Parcel Coverage and Setbacks
Finding 44: The applicant is proposing to retain the existing dwellings on Parcels I and 2. As proposed,
the dwellings on both parcels meet the required building setbacks of the LDR District for interior lots.
Height Standards
Finding 45: In accordance with SDC 3.2-225, the maximum building height in the LDR District is 30 feet,
except where modified by solar access standards. Building height was addressed through Site Plan Review
for the duplex dwellings (Case DRC2005-00072).
Landscaping Standards
Finding 46: In accordance with SDC 3.2-215, footnote (5), all building setbacks shall be landscaped unless
the setback is for a garage or carport. A site landscaping plan was approved with the Final Site Plan (Case
DRC2005-00072).
Screening
Finding 47: There is no requirement to install screening between comparable LDR parcels.
Fence Standards
Finding 48: The Development Code regulates the height and style of fencing in residential districts.
However, there is no requirement for fencing between comparable LDR parcels. The applicant is not
proposing to change the existing fences that run along the north and east property lines. Adjustment to the
fence at the northeast corner of the sitc may be necessary to meet vision clearance triangle requirements.
On-Site Lighting Standards
Finding 49: It is not expected that outdoor residential lighting for the existing dwellings will cause light
trespass onto adjacent properties.
Vehicle Parking Standards
Finding 50: In accordance with SDC 4.6-100, a minimum of two off-street parking spaces are required for
each dwelling unit. The off-street parking requirement for Parcels I and 2 are met by the single garages
and designated surface parking spaces. The parking layout for the development area is depicted on the
approved Final Site Plan (DRC2005-00072).
Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion D.I.
D.2 Overlay Districts and Applicable Refinement Plan Requirements
Finding 51: Development Review staff has reviewed the application in regard to the Drinking Water
Protection Overlay District and Refinement Plan requirements. The subject site is within the mapped 5-10
year Time of Travel Zone for the nearest drinking water well (Maia wellhead). Because the proposal is a
low-density residential development, there are no specific policies of the DWP Overlay District or the
Metro Plan that apply to the partition.
Finding 52: The developer and future landowner(s) is required to abide by the solar setback requirements
of SDC 3.2-225 through the building permits issued for dwellings on Parcels I and 2.
Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion D.2.

E. Physical features, including, but not limited to: steep slopes with unstable soil or geologic conditions;
areas with susceptibility to flooding; significant clusters of trees and shrubs; watercourses shown on the
Water Quality Limited Watercourse Map and their associated riparian areas; wetlands; rock
.outcroppings; open spaces; and areas of historic and/or archaeological significance, as may be specified
in Section 3.3-900 or ORS 97.740-760, 358.905-955 and 390.235-240, shall be rpotectedeatures have
been evaluated and protected .as specified in this Code or other applicable regulations.
Finding 53: The site does not contain steep slopes or unstable soils.
Finding 54: The site is not within an identified wetland area and does not contain significant trees or
shrubs.
Finding 55: The Metro Area General Plan, Water Quality Limited Watercourse Map, State Designated
Wetlands Map, Hydric Soils Map, Wellhead Protection Zone Map, FEMA Map and the list of Historic
Landmark sites have been consulted and there are no features needing to be protected or preserved on this
site. If any artifacts are found during construction, there are state laws that could apply; ORS 97.740, ORS
358.905, ORS 390.235. If human remains are discovered during construction, it is a Class "c" felony to
proceed under ORS 97.740.
Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion E.
F. Parking areas and ingress-egress points have been designed to: facilitate vehicular traffic, bicycle and
pedestrian safety to avoid congestion; provide connectivity within the development area and to
adjacent residential areas, transit stops, neighborhood activity centers, and commercial, industrial and
public areas; minimize driveways on arterial and collector streets as specified in this Code or other
applicable regulations and comply with the ODOT access management standards for State highways.
Finding 56: The Development Review Committee reviewed the proposed 2-lot partition at a meeting on
July 6, 2010. The existing driveway is sufficient to serve the proposed parcels.
Transportation System Impacts
Finding 57: Abutting the subject site to the east, 28th Street is a 36cfoot wide minor arterial street within a
50-foot wide right-of-way. The street is fully improved to urban standards with paving, curb and gutter, bi-
directional center turning lane, and metal halide street lighting.
Finding 58: Assumed development also may generate pedestrian 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 site. Pedestrian and bicycle trips create the need for sidewalks, pedestrian crossing
signals, crosswalks, bicycle parking and bicycle lanes.
Finding 59: The nearest regular transit bus service is provided by LTD Route #11 (Thurston / Springfield
Station) operating along Main Street.
Finding 60: Existing transportation facilities would be adequate to accommodate the additional volume of
traffic generated by the proposed development. Therefore, the proposed partition should have no
significant traffic impacts to the surrounding street system.
Site Access and Circulation
Finding 61: Installation of driveways on a street increases the number of traffic conflict points. A greater
number of conflict points increases the probability of traffic crashes. SDC 4.2-l20.A.1 stipulates that each
parcel is entitled to "...have an approved access provided..."
9
.
.
Finding 62: The access to the subject site will be provided by a 26-foot wide curb cut and driveway onto
28th Street. All four duplex dwellings within the development area will derive access from this driveway.
Site access was reviewed at the time of Site Plan Review pursuant to Case DRC2005-000n.
Finding 63: In accordance with SDC 4.2-130, vision clearance triangles with 10-foot triangular "legs" (as
depicted in SDC Table 4.2-A) must be maintained at the comers of all site driveways. All obstacles
between 2.5 and 8 feet above the established curb height must be kept out of the vision clearance area.
Finding 64: Transportation staff conducted a site visit on June 11,2010 and observed a chain link fence
with screening slats along the north property line. The fence encroaches within the vision clearance
triangle for the site driveway. Reducing the height of the fence or removing the screening slats could
address the vision clearance concerns.
Finding 65: As proposed and conditioned herein, the existing facilities are adequate to meet the site access,
driveway, and vision clearance ,requirementsofSDC 4.2-120 and 4.2-130.
Condition of Approval:
4. The applicant shall provide and maintain adequate vision clearance triangles at the comers of the site
driveway in accordance with SDC 4.2-130, including but not limited to proper placement of fences,
street trees and other features to ensure vision clearance areas are unobstructed.
Conclusion: As conditioned herein, this proposal satisfies Criterion F.
G. Development of any remainder of the property under the same ownership can he accomplished as
specified in this Code.
Finding 66: There is no other property under the same ownership that can be further developed.
Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion G.
H. Adjacent land can be developed or is provided access that will allow its development as specified in this
Code. .
Finding 67: Adjacent land is currently developed with residential dwellings and has access to public streets.
Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion H.
L Where the Partition of property that is outside of the city limits but within the City's urbanizable area
and no concurrent annexation application is submitted, the standards specified below shaD also apply.
Finding 68: The property involved in this proposal is inside' the City limits. Therefore, this condition does
not apply.
Conclusion: This proposal satisfies Criterion 1.
CONCLUSION: The tentative partition, as submitted and conditioned, complies with Criteria A-I of SDC
5.12-125. Portions of the proposal approved as submitted cannot be substantively changed during platting
without an approved modification application in accordance with SDC 5.12-145.
What needs to be done: The applicant will have up to one vear from the date of this letter to meet the applicable
conditions of approval or Development-Code standards and to submit a Final Partition Plat. Please refer to SDC
5.12-135 & 5.12-140 for more information. THE PUBLIC AND PRIVATE IMPROVEMENTS AND THE
