Home My WebLink AboutRE_ NCC2025-0232 to respondent 10-14-2025 From: Ken Ross Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2025 6:49 PM To: 'Tim Ditch'; Planner on Duty Cc: Dorothy Cottingham; Schuyler Warren; Megan Cohen Subject: RE: NCC2025-0232 Attachments: RE: Further questions re: Code Compliance Record NCC2025-0232 (11305 SW BULL MOUNTAIN RD TIGARD, OR 97224) Good Evening Tim, Thank you for your follow-up email. I previously spoke with Pastor Dorothy regarding the reported concerns involving your property. During our conversation, Pastor Dorothy refuted the concerns regarding the nuisance code violations and indicated that your property is being utilized for commercial use involving the Harvest Hosts program. At that point, I accepted Pastor Dorothy's statements as being made in good faith and indicated that if she obtains land use approval from the City's Planning Division for the commercial use of your property under the Harvest Hosts program, I would close the associated code compliance case. Subsequent to that discussion, Planning contacted Pastor Dorothy and explained the land use approval process and what is required to continue engaging in the commercial use of your property for the Harvest Hosts program (see attached email). As per our typical protocol, once we receive confirmation that a party has entered into the land use approval process with Planning,we typically suspend enforcement during that process. Please follow Planning's guidance regarding the necessary land use approval steps. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at 503-718-2581. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation.

Learn why this is important Thank you for returning my call. I have just one other question I forgot to ask. Will someone from the City come and assess with their own eyes that the allegations leveled against us are inaccurate before imposing any fines? First of all, there is no transient camp,there is no 'stored junk', no garbage or waste outside of proper collection bins, there is no debris around the property...we pick it up at least once a week. We have worked with the officers regularly when there is a 'real'transient' on the property. We cannot and will not post No Trespassing signs on a church property. I just want to be perfectly clear about the mission of a church. We don't operate our ministry the same way that commercial businesses operate. Thank you again for your call. Please let me know when you will be coming to assess the alleged violations.

Please contact Tigard Police Officer's Brian Orth at 503-430-9057 or Jason Tillotson at 971-253-9779 to coordinate removal of unwanted subjects from your property.
