Storm Se~4fer: Figure fi.3F in tl~e EDA Study shows the existing storm drainage system in and around the site. The c~lrrent s}stem incudes both closed and open drainage ways. Pipe sizes range from lo" to bb" in diameter. The ditch through the center of the Burkland site carries water from alo~~g I~~ain 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 fib" pipe through the middle of~Mthe Burkland site and utilization of the existing system ~~rithin 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 sur acing." Modif cations 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. foal 12 ~ Transport.atxon. This goal requires the provision of a safe, convenient, and economic transportation system to move people and goods between geographic and jurisdictional areas. The site plan proposes anorth-south through street that runs from Main Street on the south along the west side of the centerline drainage ditch and will exit from the north-east corner of the property, just south of the wetlandlwoodland preserve, onto an access leading ~0 32nd Street. This will provide two points of access to Main Street both for residents of the new developments and for residents of the existing residential area to the east, who have expressed a desire for improved circulation and access. The roadway will also provide bus access to all parts of the development. A bus stop and shelter facility will be designed in cooperation with the Lane Transit District to allow residents access to mass transit without having to cross Main Street. Current traffic volumes on Main Street near the site are at acceptable levels, varying between Level of Service B and Level of Service C. These levels of service reflect urban traffic volumes but also ~ reflect smooth and unobstructed flows of traff c at urban speeds. The City of _. S rin f eld's Trans ortation De artment has advised the ro'ect en ineers that the De artment P g P P P J g P does not foresee problems with the traffic volumes associated with the proposed project. If an impact study reveals a need for a traffic signal, refuge lane, or other improvements, such improvements shall be provided for at tl~e time of site review. to
