at SW Watkins.
Keith Liden, senior planner City of Tigard, brought the city code require-
ments revised 2/27/89 on definitions of mobile home and manufactured home.
"Mobile home refers to a structure transportable in one or more sections ,
each built on a permanent chassis and which is designed to be used for
permanent occupancy as a residential dwelling. " (Inspection and approval
given with a HUD seal of approval. ) Manufactured home "refers to a factory
fabricated transportable building which meetsthe Uniform Building Code
which is incorporated with similar structures or units at a building site
and used as a dwelling unit. "
Keith stated the house on Sty Cook Lane meets code with regard to 2x6 studs,
wood siding and peaked roof. The City has received petitions from neighbors
and the City attorney is reviewing the entire issue to see if the permit
was issued in error. A decision will be made by August 8, 1989. If the
permit was issued incorrectly the structure may have to be modified or
moved. If the permit was issued appropriately the structure could stay.
There was a discussion with the audience , the NPU members and Keith Liden
about the differences in mobile versus modular homes. Mobile homes are
put on axels and transported; modular homes are brought in in pieces and
lifted off in pieces, it is not transported on an axel already assembled.
A member of the audience stated that the home on Cook Lane had a HUD seal
of approval, which is only put on the mobile home not modular home.
A question was asked about the foundation of the home about whether or not
itmet the Uniform Building Code standards. This was not answered. Another
question of how this type of building fits in an already established
neighborhood was raised. Keith stated the Code addresses design standards
to be met by manufactured homes. The his tory of manufactured homes
in Tigard is that in 1982-1983 manufactured homes were not allowed by
zoning in single family zoned areas. This was changed in 1984 after the
comprehensive plan revision in 1983 . Currently only manufactured homes
are allowed in single family residential areas. Mobile homes are not allowed.
Mr. John Moore of WTM Development and Mr. Gregg Weston of Kampe & Assoc.
Engineers, showed the preliminary site plan for the proposed commercial
development at SW Watkins St. & Henry. 99 (formerly Hudson gasoline property) .
The plan calls for 2 buildings of 22,275 ' total. Building A nearest to
Hwy. 99 will be all retail businesses. Bldg. B on western portion of the
property will be automotive associated businesses only. The buildings
will be 20' in height. The western portion abuts residential property and
a 10 ' setback is required. The developer proposedto the City a 5'
setback, but the building actually will be no closer than 20' from the
property line. There will be a 6-8' cyclone fence and a block wall with
plantings toward the outside (probably 10' arborvitae) .

There will be an onsite detention system which meters the flow of water
into existing storm water system north on Watkins at a constant rate. The
detention pond will be a rocked depression in the northeast corner to catch
slater to be metered out. There will be grading on the site so the runoff
will not inundate downstream properties.
There are two entrances proposed, one on Hwy. 99 and one on STAT Watkins.
Half street improvements paid for by the developer will be done on Watkins.
Trees on the development on north side of Watkins will be removed and replaced
with low bushes or grass to help visability. The half street improvements
will be 17' from center line to curb and the intersection will be 34' wide.
New storm drain pipe will be installed at the intersection.
The sewer hookup will be connected with the development across Watkins.
Questions from the audience were addressed. Hours willbe 9-6, closed Sunday.
Garbage collection located on back of building, residents concerned about
pickup times. The whole question of transportation circulation is a very
big concern to residents in the neighborhood. Traffic turning left from
Watkins onto Pacific Highway travelling north. This is a bad intersection
for this traffic pattern. Concern from the residents that traffic will
increase substantially because customers will exit on Watkins and travel
north on Watkins to SW Park or Walnut where intersection entrances are more
favorable. The developer proposed a 12 month period of time to see if the
traffic pattern works and then re-evaluate. A concern fromthe the neighborhood
that traffic will increase through Walnut, Watkins, Park, 110th, Fairhaven
to go to the shopping center. The developer is not opposed tolooking at
alternatives. There was concern about noise, airconditioning units, etc. ,
there will be none. Air compressors will be inside of the building. There
will be security lights on until 1:00 a.m.
A committee of 3 people from the neighborhood together with the developer
and engineer will meet to discuss the plans. The developer plans to submit
plans to City of Tigard on August 10, 1989. The community can send letters
to the City with comments about the plan. The City will make their
recommendation in about 4-6 weeks and the decision can be appealed to the
City Council.
The Taira-Klaus/Daniel proposal for annwxation was discussed. It was noted
that Mr. Daniel was no longer involved in the operation. This 40 acres
of land located at the southern terminus of SFS 135th off 11alnut is going
before the Boundary Commission for annexation to the City of Tigard on
August 24, 1989. The plan is very preliminary and will be submitted to
the City of Tigard in September. The owners were represented by Mr. Dale
Addington and his wife who stated the attorney is Mr. Marvin Bowen.
Some NPO suggestions were the extension of SW 111;th should have a more
westerly location in relation to the Bull Mountain Transportation Plan.
It was suggested not so many cuts and fills as on Benchview EGtates.
It was suggested that the transportation system be designed to slow the
traffic down not as a major throughway. It was suggested that there be
open spaces dedicated to the public. Density is an issue of great concern.
There is large lot development adjacent to this property. Storage of boats
and motor vehicles should be prohibited. Mr. Addington said there would
be restrictions covering this. Would 135th be full street improvements
from Walnut south?
M-89-13 Mueller there was no objection to this request to adjust two parcels
in Benchview Estates, lots 17 and 18.
Agenda item next meeting will be Hudson property. Meeting adjourned.
