TYPE I TENTATIVE MINIMUM
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS,
STAFF REPORT & DECISION
Project Name: Castle Rock Used Auto Sales
Nature of Application: Change of use from an excavation company to used car sales which includes
paving a gravel parking area of9,300 square feet. This application is being reviewed concurrently with
Minimum Development Standards application DRC20 I 0-0021 for a structure added to the site (which
shares the parking lot and bioswale on the same parcel).
Case Nnmber: DRC2010-00020
Project Location: 1415 Mississippi Ave., Eugene, OR, Map and Tax Lot 1703344309300
Current Site Conditions: This site is located in Glenwood, at the south east comer of Franklin Boulevard
and Mississippi Avenue. The area is located in the City of Springfield's Urban Growth Boundary. The site
contains three buildings and a paved section on the north portion of the lot. The north portion ofthe site
(addressed as 4055 Franklin) contains an existing building and used car lot which has been in existence
prior to the City of Springfield taking jurisdiction of Glenwood in 1998. The majority of the existing used
car lot is paved and separated by fencing from the remainder of the parcel. The existing building on the
south portion of the lot (previously occupied by the excavation company) is 960 square feet in size. The
tentative plan shows this building built over the rear property line and encompassing a portion of tax lot
9200. An adjacent building is 504 square feet in size with a 200 square foot shed attached which also was
'constructed over the rear lot line and encroaches onto tax lot 9200. Both of these lots are currently under
the same ownership. Four access points existQn this parcel. One access point is. on Franklin and three are
on Mississippi. Franklin is improved with curb, gutter and sidewalk while Mississippi is unimproved with
an asphalt mat in this area.
Baekground: The City of Springfield is required to sign Department of Motor Vehicle Certificates
approving the location of car lots in areas under the City's jurisdiction. When the City of Springfield took
jurisdiction of Glenwood in 1998 the City agreed to continue DMV Location Approvals for car lots already
in existence in their current condition and size. Numerous DMV certificates have been approved for the
4055 Franklin A venue address which has historically been used as a car lot. The last site visit for sign off
on a DMV certificate at 4055 Franklin showed a car lot operating from 1415 Mississippi. A letter was sent
informing the owner of the property and the applicant of the need for land use approvals at the new address
and that a Minimum Development Standards (MDS) review was required. Subsequent to this letter, aerials
showing that a third building was added to the site sometime between 2004 and 2008 without permits and
an auto repair business was operating from this building. A separate MDS was submitted for the building.
After meetings with the applicant, Public Works Engineering staff and Planning staff, the applicant has
decided to proceed with the project with the exception that they would like to use the additional building
for storage only (see DRC201O-0021).

Purpose: Minimum Development Standards (MDS) are intended to support economic development by
,minimizing City review for minor additions, expansions or changes in use, MDS shall ensure compliance
with specific appearance; transportation safety and efficiency; and storm water management standards
specified in the Springfield Development Code (SDC) and otherwise protect public health, safety and
welfare,
Criteria of Approval: In order to grant MDS approval, the Director shall determine compliance willi all
applicable standards specified below:
Special Use Standards:
Finding: The property is in City of Springfield's Urban Growth Boundary, The right of way,
including Mississippi Avenue, is part of Lane County's roadway system until annexed to the City
of Springfield, '
Finding: Aerials on the City's MapSpring program show property lines depicted inside the
existing front fence line of the property, Property survey pins found by Keating Engineering
show the existing fence, proposed landscaping and proposed drainage swale to be within the
property line, The stamped plan also shows the existing and new building intersected by the rear
property line between tax lots 17033443 9300 and 9200, Both lots are owned by Norman Louis
Frank Revocable Trust.
Finding: The Urbanizable Fringe Overlay District section of the Springfield Development Code
(SDC) states the following, "Uses requiring Discretionary Use review, uses requiring specific
development standards, new permitted uses and expansion of permitted uses in commercial and
industrial districts shall demonstrate that the use will not generate singly or in the aggregate
additional need for key urban services,"
Finding: This proposal involves both a new permitted use and the expansion of a permitted use
in the Urbanizable Fringe Overlay, The two existing buildings on site are already connected to
septic on site and the new building is storage only with no proposal or need for water of sewer,
The Lane County Sanitarian was also sent a notice of this proposal for comment. All drainage
from the new parking lot is being required to be contained on site as conditioned below in the
stormwater management portion of this review, The use will not generate the need for key urban
services.
Finding: The Springfield Fire and Life Safety Department is able to service this development
with a relatively new fire hydrant (H-1426) fed off a 16 inch water line located at the
southwestern corner of 14th Avenue and Mississippi. However, the Fire and Life Safety Division
will need to have access in the gated property to the proposed and existing building,
Condition 1: A Public Works lock must be obtained at Heyman's Safe, Lock and Security (131
14th Street in Springfield - (541)726-1545) for the manual swinging gate fronting Mississippi
Avenue so that the Fire and Life Safety Department has access to the buildings,
Finding: SDC 4,7-115 Special Use Standards for Auto Sales, Service and Rentals, states the
following, " Auto and truck dealers shall occupy an officel saies building (new construction) or
any existing structUIe of at least 1,000 square feet, with non-metallic siding and roofing, and
located where possible on the front portion of the loti parcel."
Finding: The existing building is short of the requirement by 40 feet, however the 504 square
foot building added to the parcel is directly adjacent to this building and is only separated by 2',

Due to the distance and no firewall rated walls between the two builillngs, the BuiIillng Division
would classify boili buiIillngs within the same classification as the existing builillng. In addition
there is a 105 square foot lean to attached to the 960 square foot builillng.
Conclusion: As conditioned, the Special Development Standards criterion have been satisfied.
A) A five-foot wide landscaped planter strip, including street trees, with approved
irrigation or approved drought resistant plants as specified in SDC Sections 4.4-100
and 4.2-140 shall be installed between the sidewalk and parking areas or builillngs.
EXCEPTIONS:
1. Where there is an unimproved street, a four foot wide landscaped planter
strip shall be required to be set back one foot from the property line.
2. Where there is insufficient space for the landscaped strip required in .
Subsection A., above due to existing buildings, street width, paved parking,
changes of elevation or location of utilities including catch basins, the
Director may approve:
a. Decorative fencing located immediately behind the property line.
The fencing may be wrought iron or masonry and shall be subject to
the fence height standards of the applicable zoning district and the
vision clearance setbacks of Section 4.2-130; and/or

EXCEPTION: In cases where the number of vehicular parking spaces cannot be met due to lot
size or physical constraint, the Director, in consultation with the Transportation Planning
Engineer, may reduce the standard without a Minor Variance if a finding is made that the
reduction will not have an adverse impact on public safety.
o Complies as Shown on Plot Plan
X Proposal Complies when the following Condition(s) is/ are met
Condition 5: Show the minimum 4 required parking places with wheel stops on the
Final Plot Plan. One of the 4 parking spaces is required to be ADA compliant and van
accessible which is a 9' x 18' space with an 8' side access aisle.
Condition 6: SDC 4.5-115 requires 24' of aisle width for 90 degree parking angle. 24'
must remain clear between the required parking and parked cars for sale on the parcel.
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 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 4.3-110.0 of the SDC requires thi't run-off from a development shall be
directed to an approved stormwater management system with sufficient capacity to
accept the discharge.
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 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 marlUaI 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.
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.
Findin,;: The plans submitted indicate a drainage bio-swale area; however plans have
not been submitted with engineer's analysis, and do not meet suitable criteria for an
infiItration basin. .

STREET TREE PLANTING INFORMATION
NEW STREET TREES
New street trees shall be selected from the approved tree species list. Select healthy trees free of cankers,
scars, and dead or broken branches. Street trees shall be two inch minimum caliper. Caliper is the stem
diameter of the tree measured six inches above the root collar, which is the flare of tree bark at the base of
the tree where the tree meets the dirt.
STREET TREE LOCATION
Street trees are not rec:ommended in planter strips less than four feet wide. .When trees are planted in planter
strips smaller than that, significant sidewalk damage occurs. When planter strips are less than four feet wide,
trees shall be planted behind the sidewalks in adjacent yards. Where curbside sidewalks exist or are
proposed, street trees shall be planted at least five feet back of sidewalk but not more than ten feet. When
planting trees in large planting strips, plant in the back half of the planter strip closest to the sidewalk.
Street trees shall be planted at 30-foot intervals except where the planting interferes with traffic vision, street
lighting, signs, or public utilities. Tree locations shall be:
. 35 feet from the perpendicular curb line of street intersections
. Five feet from alley intersection, driveway, water meter or other utility fixture
. 20 feet from a street light
. Ten feet from any utility pole.
TREE PLANTING PROCEDURES
Street trees shall be properly planted and watered to establish healthy trees. The following methods shall
~~ .
. A planting pit shall be excavated large enough to accommodate the tree root retainers which
shall be used whenever the tree(s) are planted within eight feet of a concrete surface. The
retainer shall be placed against the concrete to prevent root evasion. Typically a retainer is
placed on two sides of the tree. One retainer shall be set againstthe curb, the other against
the sidewalk. The root retainer shall typically bel2 to 18 inches deep and two to four feet in
length along the concrete structure.
. The root barriers shall be of a design similar to Tree Root Barriers by DeepRoot or
equivalent. Never encircle the root ball with a root barrier. .
.. Remove tree from burlap or container and place on solidly packed soil so that the root collar
is slightly above the surrounding or anticipated grade. .
. Insert an aeration tube on two sides of the tree. The tubes shall extend from the ground
surfal~e to the base of the root ball. This will allow evaporation of excess moisture and
provide for efficient summer watering. The tube shall be filled with pea graveL The
minimum aeration tube specification is a three-inch perforated ADS drainpipe or equivalent.
. The tree shall be supported with two stakes on either side of the tree.

. On a typical four foot planter strip, plant trees at least I II, feet from the sidewalk and 2 II, feet
from the curb. On larger planter strips, locate the trees in the back half of the planter strip
closest the sidewalk.'
. Place loose friable native backfill around the tree. If the excavation material is heavy clay,
planter mix shall be used as backfill.
. Spread a two- to three-inch layer of mulch around the tree but keep mulch six inches from
the trunk.
. Black plastic shall not be used as a weed barrier around trees as it promotes surface roots.
. Water the trees with 10 to 20 gallons per week during the summer months of the first and
second years. Use a hose at low trickle for several hours to provide deep root watering. This
will encourage roots to grow deep rather than on the surface.
. Fertilizers shall not be used the frrstyear of planting. A BI vitamin shall be used to promote
root growth.

STORMW ATER CATCH BASIN INFORMATION
WHAT IS STORMWATER CATCH BASIN FILTRATION?
Catch basin fiitration is the placement of a catch basin insert device containing filtering medium just under
the grates of a stormwater system's catch basins. Water runoff flows into the inlet, through the filter, where
pollutants and contaminants are removed, and then into the drainage system. .
WHY ARE THE INSERTS REQUIRED? .
The devices effectively filter the first flush of stormwater from a rain event
and provide an overflow capability sufficient to prevent stormwater
conveyance systems from becoming clogged. The insert is capable of
removing and containing sediment, debris, trash and petroleum hydrocarbons
. (oil and grease) from the runoff. Plus, it removes heavy metals that have
become attached to silt and sediment through Incidental Capture. .
HOW ARE THESE INSERTS INSTALLED?
Installation of filtration devices do not require extensive modification of the
existing catch basin and shall be performed by a manufacturer-approved
iristallation contractor. Filtration devices installed into grated, or combination
grate with curb opening inlets shall be either supported by resting the support
brackets on the grate bearing ledge (installed without the use bolts or other anchoring devices) or mounted to
the catch basin wall with easily removable separate wall mount brackets to allow for quick access to the
piping system in the event of an emergency.
WHO INSTALLS THEM LOCALLY?
Gibson Steel Basins, 247 Washington Street, Eugene, OR 97401, (541) 687-8672
HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN THE FILTRATION SYSTEM?
Regular sweeping and removing of debris
.
Vehicle parking lots, outdoor storage yards, and so forth should be swept on a regular basis. Sediment and
debris (litter, leaves, papers and cans, etc.) within the area, especially around the drainage inlet, should be
collected and removed. The frequency of sweeping should be based on the amount of sediment and debris
generated. .
Regular inspections by a nwnufacturer approved contractor
The filtration insert should be inspected on a regular basis. The frequency of inspection should be based
on pollutant loading, amount of debris, leaves, etc., and amount of runoff. Manufacturer reco=endations
include no less than three inspections per year. Manufacturer guidelines for timing of inspection in
Springfield are prior to and during the rainy season. 011"'\ 1 \ ;1\
