NPO #3 SPECIAL MEETING
October 13, 1982
2. ROLL CALL: Present were Mortensen, Fyre, Bledsoe, Horowitz, Ramsdell,
and Porter. Absent were Watkins and Moonier. Watkins had
said at the last regular meeting she would be absent.
Moonier has a prior commitment to Wednesday classes this
fall term, and is excused by unanimous approval of
remaining members until January 1983. Garrett and Raetz
are erroneously listed by staff as current members, both
have stated they will not be able to continue
participation, and both have been absent since NPO #3 was
officially recognized by City Council.
3. The mintues of September 15, 1982 were approved with the following
corrections: Several times the word appearing as "charging" should
have been "changing". The sentence starting on the sixth line of item
7e should read: "In addition, members of the NPO were concerned about
the situation that a full public hearing is held at the Planning
Commission, but that public input is not allowed when an issue is
appealed or referred to City Council." On Item 8d, Lot 1400 is on map
#2S1 4, and Lots 400, 401 and 500 are on mapo #2S1 3cc. By unanimous
vote, NPO #3 requests that staff respond in writting whether their
reasons for making changes to the comprehensive plan for NPO #3 area
are indeed as we itemized in our mintues of September 15, 1982. If
our interpretation is incorrect, we request a complete statement of
their reasons.
4. Public Facxilities and Services Draft. At the beginning of the
meeting we were presented with a new draft for Public Facilities and
Services. We had studied the previously issued draft for discussion
at this meeting. The following recommendations reference the new
draft, numbered pages 42-54, unless the "old" version is specified.
Recommendations of NPO #3 regarding the Public Facilities and Services
draft:
As in the drafts for other elements, the findings lack substance, and
should be more specific.
Staff should eliminate, restrict, or else provide demonstrated basis
for the following findings:
7.1 "The City of Tigard and related service districts have the ability to
provide adequate services to meet the demand for all development within the
planning area during the planning period."
7.1.2.x. Should refer to "facilities and services" instead of
"services". The list should include schools, police, and fir protection.
7.1.2.a.2 Should read " SEWER or SEPTIC OR OTHER ALTERNATE METHODS THAT
DO NOT PRESENT HEALTH HAZARDS."
7.1.2.c Should be deleted since it is a restatement of 7.1.2.b.2.
7.1.2.d Should be deleted since it is a City standard that utilities be
placed underground, and therefore this also is redundant.
Implementation strategy 2b for 7.1 is confusing.
7.2.1.c Should be deleted, since it is a restatement of part of 7.2.1.b.
7.2.2.c Should be deleted as redundant.
7.2.2.e Should be incorporated into 7.2.2.a.
7.2.3 Should be deleted, because part "a" is redundant to 7.1.1.b, and
part "b" is a general requirement already. Also it was felt not to be a good
practice to reference another plan wihich can change independently of
Tigard's. Also the subject if wastewater manangement should be addressed
under sewer service, not stormwater control.
7.3.1 Should omit the last phrase, "and meet future demand at all
times." This is a needless job that is included in the previous phrase, " to
[provide or ensure] a high standard of water service" note: the proper verb
should be supplied.
5. Other Business:
Chairperson LouAne Mortensen showed us the NPO Report Form on
which we are requested to make comment for specific property
cases. Planner Liz Newton gave us new membership survey forms to
fill out ---this is the third such form; LouAne requested members
to give them to the secretary, who wil make a copy for the NPO and
forward them to the planning department.
