RE: Claim # 7356865, ReplacementRights for Accessory Strucfure at 159 "c" Street,
Springfield, Oregon
The accessory building (barn) which was recently destroyed by fire may be replaced on
this lot. The new structure would have to maintain setbacks thatare established in the
Springfield Development Code (SDC). SDC Section 16.050( 4) states that accessory
structures shall be setback at least 3 feet from interior side and rear lot lines.
One of my duties for Springfield Planning is to review residential building pennits for
compliance with SDC standards such as setbacks and coverage. There is no reason why
this structure could not be replaced as long as it has at least 3-foot side and rear setbacks.
I do not agree with the statement in Additional Subject Features (Addendum #2) which
reads "According to the county, the barn structure could not be rebuilt if destroyed
because it does not confonn to the city's setback requirements." Lane County has no
jurisdiction in detennining the non-confonning status of a parcel or building inside
Springfield's city limits. As stated above, the accessory structure could be rebuilt as long
as it met our setback requirements; The lot is large enough to fit the replacement
structure with conforming setbacks.
If you have any other questions, please call me at (541) 736-1003.
Sincerely,
