August 16, 2010 Andy Limbird Planning Department City of Springfield 225 Fifth Street Springfield, Oregon 97477 RE: Site Plan Review Modification Gateway Mall: Cabela's Andy: Attached are the responses to the application for Site Plan Review Modification: The requirements are in plain text and our responses are in italics for clarity. Narrative . The existing building at the Gateway Mall is currently occupied by Ashley's Furniture, a retail furniture store. Ashley's will be vacating the store and Cabela's retail Sporting goods will be occupying the space. No expansion of the existing building is proposed. The client is proposing improvements to the existing parking lot that will serve Cabela's Retail store as well as other retail stores of the Gateway Mall. The proposal calls for the shifting of Gateway Loop to the east and the restriping of the parking lot in areas which will be affected by the new location of Gateway Loop. Cabela's is also proposing to construct a new loading dock on the north side of the building and remove the existing loading area currently located on the south side of the building. The site is fiat with no physical features present or any susceptibility to fiooding and currently consists of asphalt with painted striping for parking and parking lot islands that have a mixture of lawn, shrubs and trees. The project site is zoned for Community Commercial. Parking is an allowed use in these areas. The proposed development will comply with all applicable public and private design and construction design standards. The new layout of Gateway Loop will shift approximately 1 B' to the east in order to allow parking along the west boundary of the site. The existing curb at the west boundary will remain in place and there will be no affect to the WLOW area which is located adjacent to the site between the west boundary and Interstate 5. Parking lot striping is proposed to be revised in order to provide better circulation and additional parking spaces with improved pedestrian access to Gateway Mall. The new configuration of Gateway Loop and the restriping of the parking lot will add approximately 31 additional parking spaces. Planting islands being impacted by the relocation of the Gateway Loop will be replaced and updated with new planting and irrigation to meet current code requirements. Other improvements to the parking area will include new signage along Gateway Loop to direct visitors and new bike parking near the entry to Cabela's.

The site is not tocated within a watercourse, but there is a watercourse located adjacent to the site along the western boundary of the property. The water quality limited watercourse is not affected by the proposed development. The 1 DO-year fioodplain and flood way boundaries on the site, as specified in the latest adopted FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps or FEMA approved Letter of Map Amendment or Letter of Map Revision. The site is not located within a 1 DO-year floodplain according to FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map 41039C1133 F. A FEMA Letter of Map Revision is attached to this document. Soil types and water table information as mapped and specified in the Soils Survey of Lane County. A Geotechnical report prepared by and Engineer must be submitted concurrently if the Soils Survey indicates the proposed development area has unstable soils andlor a high water table. According to the Soil Survey of Lane County, the site is composed of Salem Gravelly Silt Loam. The depth to the water table is listed at more then 80 inches with the Frequency of Flooding and Frequency of Ponding listed as none. Available Water Capacity is listed as low. The Time of Travel Zones See Site Assessment Plan for this note. Physical features including but not limited to trees 5" in diameter or greater when measures 4 Y, feet above the ground, significant clusters of trees and shrubs, riparian areas, wetlands and rock outcroppings. See Site Assessment Plan. Physical features are predominantly the existing trees. Some of the existing trees will remain and sorne will be removed. There are no rock outcroppings, riparian areas or wetlands on site. Soils types and water table information as mapped and specified in the Soils Survey of Lane County. See Site Assessment Plan for note. b. Site Plan Prepared by an Oregon licensed Architect, Landscape Architect, or Engineer. Site Plan was prepared by an Oregon licensed Landscape Architect. Proposed buildings. There are no buildings proposed for this project. Location and height of existing or proposed fences, walls, outdoor equipment, storage, trash receptacles, and signs. See Site Plan for these elements. Location, dimensions and number of typical, compact and disabled parking spaces; including aisles, wheel bumpers, directional signs and striping. See Site Plan. The aisles have been dimensioned and parking spaces counted. Since much of the proposed recanfiguration of parking is designed to meet up with the layout of existing parking, most of the drive aisle widths remained. They meet minimum standards for 60 degree parking and the required aisle width. They are not equal'n (faced however.

The total count of each type of parking is noted on the Site Plan The parking count was derived from that area tocated within the projecllimit line As discussed at the pre-developmenl meeting, the parking for the entire sile of the Gateway Mall was reviewed and approved through a prior Site Plan Review application. Revisiting the parking count for the entire site was deemed unnecessary, and the reconfiguring of the parking area resulted in a net gain of 76 parking spaces. Wheel stops (bumpers) have been added to all parking spaces where cars would encroach on the required landscape area. Disabled parking was based on the square footage of the current Ashley's furniture site as well as the potential for Cabela's to expand in the future. This expansion, coupled with the existing building woutd total 80,000 sf. We calculated the parking requirements at 1 parking space pe(300 sf. This resulted in a need for 266 parking spaces which would include 7 ADA spaces, according to the ADA requirements. Additionally, the ADA spaces that were removed in front of Cinemark as a result of the parking lot reconfiguration have been included in the new plan. There was no loss of ADA spaces in front of Cinemark. Dimensions of the development area, as well as area and percentage of the site proposed for buildings, structures, parking and vehicular areas, sidewalks, patios, and other impervious surfaces. See Site Plan for these elements. This is an unusual project in that it doesn't fit neatly into the Site Plan Review Minor Modification criteria. It did not seem relevant or necessarY to dimension the entire development area since it is existing and no new buildings are proposed. The area and percentage of the development site proposed for buildings and structures will not be different than that approved by prior land use applications so no calculations were made regarding these elements as well. Parking, vehicular areas, outdoor sidewalks and pedestrian circulation has changed. Without calculating the square footage of everyone fa those elements it is perhaps more relevant to note that of the approximate 9 acres involved in the parking lot reconfiguration,. which is comprised entirely of planting areas and impervious surfaces (not including the existing building) that there is a net gain of 10,000 sf of pervious surface (planting).

None necessary as there are no unstable soils or any high water table present Where the development area is within an overlay district, address the additional standards of the overlay district The site is not located within an overlay district No additional standards are necessary. If five or more trees are proposed to be removed, a Tree Felling Permit as specified in SDC 5.19- 100. Discussions with City of Springfield Planning Department have indicated that Tree Felling Permits will not be necessary for the project as long as the number of trees being removed are replaced with an equivalent or greater number of trees. The development plan proposes to remove 70 trees and install 101 trees. Plan proposes a greater number of trees to replace the existing trees being removed thus no Tree Felling Permit will be necessary.
