Lee N. Brennan, Public Works Director
Provide information to the Planning Commission and Applicant (hereinafter referred to as "Developer")
regarding City Public Works Department (PWD} standards, requirements, and conditions to be
included in the design and development of the proposed commerciaUprafessional office facility. Gather
information from the Developer/Engineer regarding the proposed development.
Special Requirements
1. Existing Infrastructure: The Developer shall demonstrate that all connections to existing
infrastructure (i.e. streets; water, sanitary sewer, storm drain systems; natural drainage
systems; etc.,} will not interfere with or provide for the degradation of the existing effective level
of service or operation of the infrastructure facilities, and that the existing infrastructure facilities
have either adequate capacities to accommodate the flows and/or demands imposed on the
existing infrastructure as the result of the connection of the proposed development's
infrastructure, or will be improved by and at the expense of the Developer to accommodate the
additional flows and/or demands; while maintaining or improving the existing level of service of
the affected facility, as approved by (as applicable), the regale#ory agency, utility owner, andlor
property owner involved.
2. Front Sfreef lmpravements:
Riaht-of-WavlEasemen# Dedication: The right of way width from the centerline of Front Street to
the.subject property is 60 feet. Currently the wid#h of right-of-way located behind the curb of
Front Street is approximately 6 feet. To facilitate implementation of a meandering sidewalk and
landscaping, in accordance with the street section crass-section for a major arterial road width,
an additional 8-foot of right-way dedication will be needed to facilitate implementation of these
types of improvements. In lieu of right-of-way dedication, the Developer may choose at his
Ciran,~~c' C'u-L)p. 1'husr° 1 crxd 1l
P{i'U Stq/1~11c>por-t
Pcrs;c~
option to dedicate to the City a perpetual easement for pedestrian ingress and easement that is
approximately 8-feet wide and is along the Development's frontage with Front Street. This
additional easement dedication and the development of the noted improvements can be
of#orded based on the proposed plan if the distance between parking space lanes is reduced
from the 26 feet shown to 2~4 feet. This reduction has been discussed with and approved by the
Planning Director-
Improvements: As discussed with the Developer, the City is making an effort to place
landscape buffers with meandering sidewalks where possible next to collector and arterial
streets. As being developed by the City PWD, this involves placing a six foot meandering
sidewalk within a t4-foot wide strip located behind the curb, with the meandering sidewalk
being placed no closer than 3 feet to the back of the curb or to the back of the right-of-
wayleasement. Grass (as a minimum) and trees are placed in the landscape strip, with the
trees being placed on bath sides of the sidewalk (at 20-foot centers) in the wider areas of the
meander. It is recommended that this development be conditioned to include installation of the
landscape buffer and meandering sidewalk along the Development's frontage with Front Street.
Since the improvements in this area are within the State's right-of-way, the Development will be
responsible for the maintenance of the sidewalk and landscape improvements. ADA ramps,
complying with ODOT and City standards will need to be installed at the intersection of Front
Street with Alder and Ash Streets. The driveway apron shall be reconstructed to comply with
current CityIODOT standards. All other unused driveway aprons shall be removed.
3. ImArovemenfs fo Alder, Firsf, and Ash Sfreets: Te Developer shall be responsible for the
installation of 5-foot sidewalks, ADA ramps, and street lights (at 200-foot maximum spacing)
along the subject property's frontage with Alder, First, and Ash Streets. The Developer shall
also remove and replace (with suitable curb and gutter) all existing driveway aprons that will not
be used, or to facilitate construction of driveway aprons that meet current City standards, as
applicable.
~. DrivewaLr Apron of Norfhwesf Corner of Ash and First Streefs: The existing driveway apron
shall be removed and replaced wi#h a driveway apron with a maximum 8-foot throat meeting
current City PWD standards, with the sou#hern edge of the throat being placed a minimum of
17 feet from the southern property line extension along Ash Street. This driveway apron access
will be only for forklift access only to the roll-up door on the southeast corner of the Phase I I
building; no vehicular (i.e truck, automobile, motorcycle, etc.) access will be allowed through
this driveway apron, due to its close proximity to the intersection.
5. Sife Drainage/Sform Drain Plan: It is recommended tha# the developer design and implement
a site drainage/storm drain plan that corrects and enhances existing site drainage for the entire
areas noted on the site plan. This will require site drainage improvements to all the tax lots
involved- The current sheet flow surface drainage from the properties onto the public rights-af-
way ar onto neighboring properties is unacceptable. The on-going surface drainage from the
new "Outside Display" area creates a nuisance and hazard. The storm drainage infrastructure
on the tax Pots would be privately operated and maintained. A suitable system will need to be
designed for a minimum 10-year storm event. The discharge point and potential retention of
storm water run-off shall be coordinated with aspects of the proposed development to provide
an aesthetically pleasing, elficient, and low maintenance facility. The storm water retention
facilities shall be designed to mitigate erosion and sediment and hydrocarbon deposition, and to
mitigate the "attractive nuisance" hazards associated with these facilities. The developer shall
also secure written permission to connectldischarge into adjoining City/ODOT storm water
Grange Co-Op, Phase I and II

conveyance facilities. Catch basins, curb inlets, orifice boxes and area drains shall be
designed for sediment and pe#roleum hydrocarbon retention. The PWD will require a copy of
the engineers hydrology and hydraulic computations.
It is further recommended that these drainage improvements be completed for each Phase
prior to final inspection by the building Department for occupancy of the improved areas. It is
also recommended that the necessary improvements to mitigate the unacceptable surface
drainage from the outdoor display area and the parking areas that border Alder and First
Streets, shall be constructed and in operation prior to occupancy of the improvements
associated with Phase ![ or within 6-months of Planning Commission approval of this tentative
plan; whichever occurs first.
Roof drains shaft not discharge across the public rights-of-way.
6. Driveways, Access Roads, and Parking Areas; The Developer shat! evaluate the strength of
the native soils and determine the access road, parking, and driveway section designs to
handle the expected loads {including fire equipmen#) to be traveled on these private driveways,
access roads, and parking areas. Need to provide section for review. The driveways, access
roads, and truck parking and turning areas on the proposed development must be designed
and positioned in a manner that will accommodate the turning movements and access of the
anticipated trucks (i.e WB-67 truck, single unit trucks, etc.), Rogue Disposal and Fire District
No. 3, without crossing into an opposing lane or addi#ional travel lane of traffic and with
complete access in and around the proposed improvements. All driveways, access roads, and
parking areas should either have asphalt or cement concrete surfaces.
7. Utility Easements: A 10-foot wide public utility easement {PUt;) will be required along the
subject property's frontages with Front street (located behind the additional 8 feet of right-of-
way or easement dedicated), and as feasible along Alder, First and Ash Streets.
8. Existing Sign on Front Stre~~ The existing stare sign on Front Stree# (and any other signs}
shall be modified to bring the sign(s) into conformance with the City`s sign ordinance.
9. Refuse and Rec cle Containers and Other E ui ment and Materials Placement/Stora e
within City Right-of WaY Past practice by the Developer on the subject properties has been
to place refuse and recycle con#ainers within the City's rights-of-way. Other materials and
equipment are also often times placed within the rights-of-way. It is the City PWD
recommendation that the Developer shat[ not be allowed to place these items within the City's
rights-of-way, and that suitable facilities are included with the proposed development for their
placement, storage, and use.
14. Cit Wafer Se-vice Revision/U rode and Backflow Prevention Assemhl Installation:
The Developer shall work with the City PWD on revisinglupgrading the site's water service
connec#ions to comply with current City ordinances regarding water service and backflow
prevention assembly installation. Approved backflow prevention assembly installation (at the
Developer's expense) shall be required directly behind all the City water service meters that
service the proposed developments. Any new connections to the City's water system to
facilitate the proposed development shat[ be performed by the City at the Developer's expense.
11. Utilify Relocafion: Any utilities located in the former alley or in easements across tax lot 4600,
and potentially on tax fats 7104 anti 7440, which will underlie or be within 5 feet of the
Grange Co-Op, Phase 1 and II

proposed footprints or roof-lines of the building improvements, will be relocated at the
Developer's expense. City PWD will do all removal, abandonments, or other associated work
and all "hotn connections to active water lines, including water service lateral connections, at
Developer's expense. Suitable easement dedications meeting current City standards for.any
relocated utility will need to be provided, as applicable.
