SANITARY SEWER
Finding: Section 4.3-105.A ofthe SDC requires that sanitary sewers shall be installed to serve
each new development and to connect developments to existirig mains. Additionally,
installation of sanitary sewers shall provide sufficient access fori maintenance activities.
Property currently has existing sanitary sewer service from an existing 8" waste water line
located at the west end of property thus satisfYing this requirement.
Fi~di.ng: The appl!cant has indicated there is an existing s~tary serer serving the existing
bUlldmg. The bUlldmg lateral connects to an eXlstmg 8" Ime located at the west end of
property located within an existing 14' sanitary sewer easement
Finding: The applicant has indicated the existing outdoor trash dumpster will be removed and
relocated to the interior of the building. Therefore, there will be no. rieed for a sanitary sewer
connection to an exterior enclosed trash enclosure. I

STORMWATERMANAGEMENT' I
Finding: Section 4.3-110.B of the SDC requires that the Approval Authority shall grant
development approval' only where adequate public and/or private Jtormwater management
systems provisions have been made as determined by the Public W&rks Director, consistent
,
with the Engineering Design Standards and Procedures Manual (EDSPM).
. I
Finding: Section 4.3-110.D of the SDC requires that run-off from la development shall be
directed to an approved stormwater management system with sufficient capacity to accept the
discharge.
~
Finding: To comply with Sections 4.3-11 O.D & E, stormwater runoff from the site will be
directed into a water quality bio-swale prior to discharging into the public system. The bio-
swale drains to a private 6" storm pipe that is connected to an existing 39th Street curb inlet.
I
The curb inlet discharges to a 10" pipe that drains to the main 15" public storm system in 39th
,
Street. Storm water pipe work in the public right-of-way will require a City encroachment

Finding: The applicant has proposed that existing impervious areas on site will drain to a 6"
trench drain with a sump pump and discharges to the bio-swale by a 2" pressure line.
Condition: Prior to commencing work in the public right-of-way or in a Public Utility
Easement (PUE), including connection to the existing curb inlet, the applicant shall obtain a
City encroachment permit.
WATER QUALITY
Finding: As required in Section 4.3-11 O.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 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: 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 50 percent of the non-building rooftop impervious area on a site shall be treated
for stormwater quality improvement using vegetative methods. The applicant has complied
with this requirement for all new impervious areas proposed:
Finding: To meet the requirements of the City's MS4 permit, the Springfield Development
Code, and the City's EDSPM, the applicant has proposed a private vegetative water quality
swale. The private vegetative swale will be located at the north end of site and complies with
this requirement; however, an "erosion control" seed mix will need to be provided.
Finding: 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.
Finding: Plans indicate there is an existing boat transfer well on site; however, detailed
information was not provided showing the operation of this well and the method of treating
and discharging the contaminated water.

Condition: To ensure a fully functioning water quality system ~d meet objectives of
Springfield's MS4 permit, the Springfield Development Code and thp EDSPM, the proposed
private vegetative water quality swale shall be fully vegetated with all vegetation species
established prior to approval of Final Site Plan. Alternatively, iftbis tondition cannot be met,
the applicant shall provide and maintain additional interim erosi6n controVwater quality
measures acceptable to the Public Works Department that will suffide until such time as the
swale vegetation becomes fully established.
PUBLIC STREETS, SIDEWALKS & IMPROVEMENT AGREEMENTS
Finding: The 39th Street frontage is already improved and applicant I proposes no new street
improvements; therefore, an improvement agreement -will not bel necessary. There are
modifications to the driveway being proposed that will need to be reviewed and permitted
through a City driveway permit application:
UTILITIES. EASEMENTS AND RIGHTS OF WAY
Finding: The applicant has indicated on plans an existing 7 ft. Public Utility Easement
adjacent to the 39th street right-of~way thus complying with SectionI4.3-140.A of the SOC.
There is also an existing 14' Sanitary Sewer easement located on the West end of property.
Finding: The applicant has indicated on plans that there are two shed itructures located within
the 14' Public Utility Easement (PUE). The shed structure encroacmhent is in violation with
Public Utility Easement requirements where no building or structurds or roof overhangs are
