\. . Development of the subject property n1ay occur only after site review pursuant to Springfield Development Code, SDC Article 31, \\'hich requires that the design of the proposed development, as conditioned, "mitigates identified negative impacts and resolves identified land use conflicts, If including those identified here. 31.060(3). Each site plan review application must include a written description of the developlnent proposal and a site inventory map showing slopes, natural features, and existing public facilities. The de\'elopment plan nlust show how natural features will be modified by construction activity, showing building footprints and . elevations as w~!l as l?ar~ing and circulation, public ilnprovenlents, drainage, and landscaping. Site review approval of "a specific development proposal on this site will require that the applicable resource protection policies of the I\1etro Plan be addressed, and that appropriate protection be afforded. Accordingly, the site can only be developed after implementation of the plan's acknowledged program to achieve the purposes of Goal 5. In addition, all wetlands falling under the jurisdiction of the Division of State Lands and/or the Corps of Engineers will be protected as required by applicable state and federal laws and regulations. The forested \vetland, drainage ditch, and \vet meadow area identified in the EDA Study as "the most significant wetland resource area" on the site has been identified on the applicant's conceptual plan (copy attached) as "Enhanced Wetland" and shall be fully protected under any development plan that is approved. Goal 6 - Air, 'Vater and Land Resources Quality. This goal requires that local comprehensive plans and implementing measures be consistent with state and federal regulations .governing air, water, and land resources quality. An LRAP A analysis of emissions from. the nearby industrial area confirms that those industries are operating within existing safety standards and that exposures on the site are \\'ell below those standards. .In addition, the application, as modified, calls for an industrial buffer area east of the only existing heavy industrial facility near the site, the Neste ~esin plant. This area \vill be designated for Light-Medium Industrial use, excluding all residential uses and permitting only light manufacturing, assembly, and warehouse type uses, providing both a buffer and a logical transition. Based upon the models which LRAP A has developed, the proposed buffer \vill provide far lTIOre protection to the residents of Springwood than is required by any applicable statute or regulation. It will provide many times t~e p.rotection afforded to plant workers under federal law. And it will provide substantially more separation from Springwood than is currently enjoyed by residents of the trailer park just north of the plant. The matrices and printouts that LRAP A has provided project potential concentrations of formaldehyde in the air at various distances to the east of the plant when the wind is blowing from the west. The 111atrix specifies 14 wind speeds and 6 air stability levels. At any specific distance and direction, the projected concentration would exist only when the wind was blowing in that direction at the specified speed under the specified air stability conditions. 3
