Goal 11 • Public Facilities and Services. This goal requires the provision of a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services. All urban services needed for the proposed development are available in this fully-developed and well•served central urban area, including dire and police protection, parks, sanitary and storm sewers, mass transit, schools, and urban arterial streets. Sanitary Sewer; The site is served by a system of gravity pipes ranging in size from 8" to 42" in diameter. See Figure 6.3F in the EDA Study, The existing 4~" pipe carrying flows west from the northern end of the site has ample capacity to handle the proposed pro j ect, and the applicant proposes to tie all development on the site into that pipe. There are capacity problems with the sewer along Main Street upstream easterly} from the south end of ~ the property. The City's 1989 Sanrtary Sewer Master Plan calls for replacing the Z7" pipe reach along Main from 32nd Street east with 3b"pipe. The project's use of the 42" main at the north end of the property would have no effect upon this problem or the proposed solution. Storm Sewer; Figure G.3F in the EDA Study shows the existing storm drainage system in and around the site. The current system incudes both closed and open drainage ways. Pipe sizes range from 1~" to bb~ in diameter. The ditch through the center of the Burkland site carries water from along Main Street to the Q-Street ditch, which flows west to east past the northern border of the site. Surface runoff from the residential area to the east is directed into ditches that flow west onto swales on the Burkland site. The EDA study states that the Burkland site could be served for industrial development by replacing the open ditch with "a ~6" pipe through the middle of the Burkland site and utilization of the existing system within the McKenzie Highway," As the applicant's engineers have determined, the same solution would fully serve the proposed mixture of residential and commercial uses embodied in the applicant's proposal for the site. As they say, '"The proposed development would cause less impact on the storm sewer system than was originally anticipated for heavy and light industrial development. Residential developments have a smaller percentage of impermeable surface areas than industrial sites that typically have requirements for large structures and paved surfacing." Modifications to the existing drainage system shall be approved upon site review and shall be such as will, on balance, protect and enhance its amenity and resource values, maintain or slow runoff rates, and preserve or enhance its carrying capacity, consistent with applicable plan policies and wetlands regulations. Goal 12 - transportation. This goal requires the provision of, a safe, convenient, and economic transportation system to move people and goods between geographic and jurisdictional areas.
