Please note that Washington County's "Facilit Permit" differs from an "Access Permit". An Access Permit is tar less comprehensive in nature than the Facility el' r it and its associated submittal, review, and monitoring processes. Access Permits apply to non-complex land use cases in which the County requires limited or no improvements of the developer. (Access permits are commonly issued in cases requiring improvements as minimal as a single driveway cut to an existing house). This ro ect is not current) eligible for an Access Permit. The Facility Permit allows construction work within County rights-of-way and permits site access only after the developer first submits plans and obtains Washington County Engineering approval, obtains required grading and erosion control permits, and satisfies various other requirements of Washington County's Assurances Department including but not limited to execution of financial and contractual agreements. This process ensures that the developer accepts responsibility for construction of public improvements, and that improvements are closely monitored, inspected, and built to standard in a timely manner.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION Site History Staff-conducted a search of City records and found no other land-use cases associated with the subject parcel. Site Information and Proposal Description: The applicant is requesting u ivision approval for an 8-lot subdivision on a 1.34-acre parcel. The parcel is located north of Beef Bend Road, west of SW 146th Avenue at the stub of SW Trevor Lane. Vicinit Information: e subject site is located on the north side of SW Beef Bend Road adjacent to the Fox Glove #2 subdivision. The zoning of the subject site and surrounding parcels is R-7 Medium Density Residential. SECTION IV. COMMENTS FROM PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 500 FEET The City sent notice to property owners within 500 feet of the subject proposal. The concerns of the neighbors are as follows: My property abuts the subject site to the north. We have very large trees and shrubs that divide our property line with the subdivision. I want some guarantees that the grading and construction of this subdivision will not harm these plants. There needs to be a tree protection plan in place authorized by a certified arborist. If they are harmed in any way, I want a guarantee that the developers will correct and return it to its original state, no matter the cost. Staff Response: The applicant has been conditioned in this decision to submit a final tree protection plan to the City Forester which must include protection of trees in close proximity to the subject site. If any tree is damaged due to construction activity, the developer is subject to a civi penalty of up to $500 and is required to remedy any damage caused by the violation. Tree Code violations incude: 1. Replacement of removed or damaged trees; 2. Payment of additional civil penalties representing the estimated value of any unlawfully removed or damaged tree, as determined using the most current International Society of Arboriculture's Guide for Plant Appraisal. In addition, damage to other property may be subject to a civil lawsuit. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 9 OF 35 SUB2004-00022 -TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION SECTION V. SUMMARY OF APPLICABLE CRITERIA A summary of the applicable criteria in this case in the Chapter order in which they are addressed in this decision are as follows: A. Subdivision 18.430 B.

Bull Mountain Communit Plan The proposal contains no elements related to the provisions of the following Specific Development Standard Code Chapters: 18.710 (Accessory Residential Units), 18.740 (Historic Overlay), 18.742 Home Occupations), 18.750 Manufactured/Mobil Home Regulations), 18.755 Mixed Solid Waste & Recyclable Storage) 18.760 (Nonconforming situations),18.785 (Temporary Uses), and 18.798 (Wireless Communication Facilities). These chapters are, therefore, found to be inapplicable as approval standards. SECTION VI. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA AND FINDINGS A. SUBDIVISION GENERAL PROVISIONS (18.430): Future Re-Division. When subdividing tracts into large lots, the Approval Authority shall require that the lots be of such size and shape as to facilitate future re-division in accordance with the requirements of the zoning district and this title. No large lots are created with the proposed subdivision. Lot seven is the largest lot in the subdivision at 7:510 square feet and is not large enough to be subdivided under the 5,000 square foot minimum lot size for the zone. Therefore, this standard is met. Lot Averaging. Section 18.430.020.D states Lot size may be averaged to allow lots less than the minimum lot size allowed in the underlying zoning district as long as the average lot area for all lots is not less than allowed by the underlying zoning district. No lot created under this provision shall be less than 80% of the minimum lot size allowed in the underlying zoning district. The applicant has proposed to use the lot averaging option. The average of all lots is 5,677 square feet without including Tract A (water quality pond): The smallest lot is 4,730 square feet, which exceeds 80% of the 5,000 square foot minimum lot size. This standard is met. Temporary sales office. Temporary sales offices in conjunction with any subdivision may be granted as set forth in Chapter 18.785, Temporary Uses. The applicant has not proposed a sales office; however, if one is later requested, it will be reviewed through a separate temporary use permit process. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 10 OF 35 SUB2004-00022 -TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION Minimize flood damage. All subdivision proposals shall be consistent with the need to minimize flood damage. Due to the topography of the site, storm water is anticipated to leave the site and not cause flooding. Storm drainage facilities will be reviewed by Clean Water Services and also by the City for conformance with design and construction standards and is addressed later in this report under engineering's analysis. Floodplain dedications. Where land filling and/or development is allowed within and adjacent to the 100-year floodplain outside the zero-foot rise floodway, the City shall require consideration of the dedication of sufficient open land area for a greenway adjoining and within the floodplain. This area shall include portions at a suitable elevation for the construction of a pedestrian/bicycle pathway within the floodplain in accordance with the adopted pedestrian bicycle pathway plan. The site is not within nor adjacent to the 100-year floodplain. This standard is not applicable. Need for adequate utilities. All subdivision proposals shall have public utilities and facilities such as sewer, gas, electrical, and water systems located and constructed to minimize flood damage. The subject site has a north/south slope with a water quality tract at the southern most portion of the parent parcel. Utilities will be provided through easements branching from the proposed extension of SW Trevor Lane to the north. As mentioned above, the site is not near any 100-year floodplain. Therefore, this standard has been satisfied. Need for adequate drainage. All subdivision proposals shall have adequate drainage provided to reduce exposure to flood damage. The proposed development application includes a preliminary utilities plan and drainage report. According to Kim McMillan, engineer with the City of Tigard, these documents provide for adequate drainage through a storm water collection system to reduce exposure to flood damage. Determination of base flood elevation. Where base flood elevation has not been provided or is not available from another authoritative source, it shall be generated for subdivision proposals and other proposed developments which contain at least 50 lots or five acres (whichever is less). Base flood elevation data was not provided for the proposed subdivision. The proposed site is approximately 1.34 acres. According to the standard, developments under five acres are exempt from this criterion. Therefore, this standard does not apply and floodplain maps indicate clearly that the subdivision is not near the floodplain. A roval Criteria - Preliminar Plat: The propose preliminary plat complies with the applicable zoning ordinance and other applicable ordinances and regulations. Compliance with the zoning ordinance and other applicable ordinance and regulations will be assured through review and imposition of conditions of approval as necessary, as outlined in this decision. The it of Tigard signed an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with Washington County when it agreed to take over planning jurisdiction in the urban services area. The urban services area is the area outside of the current Tigard City Limits, but within Tigard's Urban Growth Boundary. It is the area in which Tigard is anticipated to grow. Fundamental to the agreement between Tigard and Washington County is the understanding that areas in the urban services area will, over time, be incorporated into the City of Tigard as they are more intensively developed and as they require urban services. The proposed development will intensify the need for urban services in this area. Consequently, the development site should be annexed into the City. To satisfy this concern, the applicant will be required to sign a consent to annex form which will be kept on file with the City for future annexation as Tigard's boundary abuts the development. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 11 OF 35 SUB2004-00022-TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION The proposed plat name must not be duplicative and must otherwise satisfy the provisions of ORS Chapter 92. The applicant has provided documentation that the proposed plat name is not a duplicative. Therefore, this standard has been satisfied. The Streets and roads are laid out so as to conform to the plats of subdivisions and maps of major partitions or subdivisions already approved for adjoining property as to width; general direction and in all other respects unless the City determines it is in the public interest to modify the street or road pattern. SW Trevor Lane is currently unimproved along the length of the proposed subdivision. The continuation of SW Trevor Lane, which serves all eight of the proposed lots, will be constructed to City of Tigard minimum local street standards including a 46-foot right-of-way and a 28-foot paved section as conditioned by the City Engineer in this Decision. In order to mitigate for the impact from this development, the applicant should construct half-street improvements providing a minimum of 28 feet of paved surface area, a six inch curb, and a five foot side walk and six foot planter on either side of SW Trevor Lane. See Preliminary Plat Sheet 1 for details. The applicant has shown SW Trevor Lane to extend to the west end of the property for the future development of the adjoining parcel, which will be reviewed at time of application. Therefore, this standard has been satisfied. An explanation has been provided for all common improvements. The applicant's narrative provides the necessary explanation for all common improvements. Therefore, this standard has been satisfied. Section 18.430.060A. authorizes the granting of adjustments for subdivisions in accordance with 18.430.050, provided that the application shall be made with a preliminary plat application with the criteria for granting such adjustments are contained in Section 18.370.020 C1. The applicant has not requested any adjustments. Therefore, this standard does not apply. FINDING: Based on the analysis above, the subdivision standards have not been satisfied. If the applicant complies with the conditions listed below, the standard will be met. CONDITIONS: Prior to final plat approval, applicant will be required to sign a consent to annex form which will be kept on file with the City for future annexation as Tigard's boundary abuts the development. B. APPLICABLE TIGARD DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTIONS Residential Zoning Districts (18.510) Lists the description e residential Zoning District. Uses The site is located in the R-7: Medium-Density residential zoning district. The proposed household living is a permitted use in the R-7 zone. Minimum and Maximum Densities Density is addressed later in this decision under 18.715 (Density Computation). NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 12 OF 35 SUB2004-00022-TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION The R-7 zoning district has the following dimensional re uirements: STANDARD R-7 Minimum Lot Size Detached unit 5,000 sq. ft. Duplexes 10,000 s .ft. Average Minimum Lot Width Detached unit lots 50 ft. Duplex lots 50 ft. Maximum Lot Coverage 80% Minimum Setbacks Front yard 15 ft. Side facing street on corner & through lots 10 ft. Side yard 5 ft. Rear yard 15 ft. Side or rear yard abutting more restrictive zoning district 30 ft. Distance between property line and front of garage 20 ft. Maximum Height 35 ft. Minimum Landscape Requirement 120% [1] Single-family attached residential units permitted at one dwelling per lot with no more that five attached units in one grouping. The proposed lots range in size from 4,730 square feet to 7,510 square feet. However, the average lot size for the overall subdivision is 5,677 square feet (lot size averaging allows lots to drop to a minimum of 4,000 square feet). All lots meet the minimum lot width requirements, based on the dimensions provided on the plan. The applicant will be required to comply with the setbacks, height and lot coverage/landscape requirements during the building permit review process for the homes on individual lots. All lots within this subdivision are for single-family units. This is not a planned development; therefore, the setbacks are as prescribed by the base zone. FINDING: Based on the analysis above, the residential zoning district dimensional standards are satisfied. Access. E~cc iress and Circulation (18.705) ~iapter 18.705 establishes standards and regulations for safe and efficient vehicle access and egress on a site and for general circulation within the site. Table 18.705.1 states that the minimum vehicular access and egress for single-family dwelling units on individual lots shall be one, 10-foot paved driveway within a 15-foot-wide accessway. The minimum access width for 3-6 dwelling units is 20 feet with 20 feet of pavement. Access and egress to each lot created by the proposed subdivision would be directly onto SW Trevor Lane. The Preliminary Plat shows that Proposed Lot seven and eight are flag lots with a 25-foot frontage on SW Beef Bend Road containing a 20-foot (at its greatest width) access easement to SW Trevor Lane. Therefore, the access and egress standard has been met. Access plan requirements. No building or other permit shall be issued until scaled plans are presented and approved as provided by this chapter that show how access, egress and circulation requirements are to be fulfilled. The applicant shall submit a site plan. The Director shall provide the applicant with detailed information about this submission requirement. Scaled site plans have been submitted that indicate how the requirements of access, egress, and circulation are met. Joint access. Owners of two or more uses, structures, or parcels of land may agree to utilize jointly the same access and egress when the combined access and egress of both uses, structures, or parcels of land satisfies the combined requirements as designated in this title, provided: Satisfactory legal evidence shall be presented in the form of deeds, easements, eases or contracts to establish the joint use; and Copies of the deeds, easements, leases or contracts are placed on permanent file with the City. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 13 OF 35 SUB2004-00022 - TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION Joint access has been proposed for lots #7 and #8 through a 15-foot access (20 at its greatest width) with ten feet of pavement. The applicant has indicated that a maintenance agreement for the upkeep of the driveway will be prepared and turned into the City. Therefore, this standard has been satisfied. Public street access. All vehicular access and egress as required in Sections 18.705.030H and 18.705.0301 shall connect direct)y with a public or private street approved by the City for public use and shall be maintained at the required standards on a continuous basis. All lots will directly access SW Trevor Lane which is a public street. Therefore, this standard has been satisfied. Curb cuts shall be in accordance with Section 18.810.030N. Curb cuts will be addressed under Chapter 18.810 Street and Utility Improvements Standards later in this decision. Required walkway location. On-site pedestrian walkways shall comply with the following s an ar s: Walkways shall extend from the ground floor entrances or from the ground floor landing of stairs, ramps, or elevators of all commercial, institutional, and industrial uses, to the streets which provide the required access and a ress. Walkways shall provide convenient connections between buildings in multi-buildng commercial, institutional, and industrial complexes. Unless impractical, walkways shall be constructed between new and existing developments and neighboring developments; Within all attached housing except two-family dwellings) and multi-family developments, each residential dwelling shall" be connected by walkway to the vehicular parking area, and common open space and recreation facilities; Wherever required walkways cross vehicle access driveways or parking lots, such crossing shall be designed and located for pedestrian safety. Required walkways shall be physically separated from motor vehicle traffic and pparking by either a minimum 6-inch vertical separation (curbed) or a minimum 3-foot horizontal separation except that pedestrian crossings of traffic aisles are permitted for distances no greater t6n 36 feet if appropriate landscap)ng, pavement markings, or contrasting, pavement materials are used. Walkways shall be a minimum of four feet in width, exclusive oT vehicle overhangs and obstructions such as mailboxes, benches, bicycle racks, and sign posts, and shall be in compliance with ADA standards; Required walkways shall be paved with hard surfaced materials such as concrete asphalt, stone, brick etc. Walkways may be required to be lighted and/or signed as needed for safety purposes: Soft-surfaced public use pathways may-be provided only if such pathways are provided in addition to required pathways. This proposal is for a detached single-family development, this standard does not apply. Inadequate or hazardous access. Apjplications for building permits shall be referred to the Commission for review when, in the opinion of the Director, the access proposed would cause or increase existing hazardous traffic conditions; or would provide inadequate access for emergency vehicles; or would in any other way cause hazardous conditions to exist which would constitute a clear and present danger to the public health, safety and general welfare. The lots within this subdivision will be providing direct access to a public street. Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue and Tigard Police have been notified of the proposed subdivision and have not indicated a hazard. The proposed extension of SW Trevor Lane will be required to meet City design standards. The Director has not determined that Planning Commission review is necessary for buildin permits. With regard to streets and street intersections, these issues are addressed under TDC Chapter 18.810 and through the AASHTO, Washington County and City's road design standards. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 14 OF 35 SUB2004-00022-TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION Direct individual access to arterial or collector streets from single-family dwellings and duplex lots shall be discouraged. Direct access to major collector or arterial streets shall be considered only if there is no practical alternative way to access the site. The proposed single-family lots will have access via a proposed public street (SW Trevor Lane) which will connect to SW Beef Bend Road which is an arterial. Therefore, no single-family lot will have direct access to a major collector or arterial. In no case shall the design of the service drive or drives require or facilitate the backward movement or other maneuvering of a vehicle within a street, other than an alley. Single-family and duplex dwellings are exempt from this requirement. This criterion does not apply to the proposed single-family dwellings. Access Management Section 18.705.030.H) ection sates that an access report shall be submitted with all new development proposals which verifies design of driveways and streets are safe by meeting adequate stacking needs, sight distance and deceleration standards as set by ODOI-, Washington County, the City and AASHTO. The applicant's engineer has submitted an Access Report, dated 02-02-05, for this development. The engineer states that the proposed design of streets and driveways are safe. Washington County's Transportation Review has no additional requirements for access management as it pertains to this standard. Section 18.705.030.H.2 states that driveways shall not be permitted to be placed in the influence area of collector or arterial street intersections. Influence area of intersections is that area where queues of traffic commonly form on approach to an intersection. The minimum driveway setback from a collector or arterial street intersection shall be150 feet, measured from the right-of-way line of the intersecting street to the throat of the proposed driveway. The setback may be greater depending upon the influence area, as determined from City Engineer review of a traffic impact report submitted by the applicant's traffic engineer. In a case where a project has less than 150 feet of street frontage, the applicant must explore any option for shared access with the adjacent parcel. If shared access is not possible or practical, the driveway shall be placed as far from the intersection as possible. No driveways are located within the influence area of collector or arterial street intersections. This criterion is met. Section 18.705.030.H.3 and 4 states that the minimum spacing of driveways and streets along a collector shall be 200 feet. The minimum spacing of driveways and streets along an arterial shall be 600 feet. The minimum spacing of local streets along a local street shall be 125 feet. This development does not propose streets or driveways along Beef Bend Road, an Arterial. This criterion is met by providing all lots access internally to Trevor Lane. Minimum access requirements for residential use. Vehicular access and egress for single-family, duplex or attached single-family dwelling units on individual lots and multi-family residential uses shall not be less than as provided in Table 18.705.1 and Table 18.705.2; The access and egress into the site itself is discussed later in this decision under the Street and Utility Improvements Standards section of this decision. Access to individual lots will be reviewed for compliance during the building permit phase. Vehicular access to multi-family structures shall be brought to within 50 feet of the ground floor entrance or the ground floor landing of a stairway, ramp, or elevator leading to the dwelling units; No multi-family structures are proposed with this application. Therefore, this standard does not apply. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 15 OF 35 SUB2004-00022-TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION Private residential access drives shall be provided and maintained in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform fire Code; There are no residential drives that will be subject to Uniform Fire Code requirements. Section 18.705.030.H.4 states that Access drives in excess of 150 feet in length shall be provided with approved provisions for the turning around of fire apparatus by one of the following: a circular, paved surface having a minimum turn radius measured from center point to outside edge of 35 feet or a hammerhead-configured, paved surface with each leg of the hammerhead having a minimum depth of 40 feet and a minimum width of 20 feet. The maximum cross slope of a required turnaround is 5%. No access is greater than 150 feet in length. The proposed joint access to lots #7 and #8 is approximately 8 feet in length. Therefore, this standard does not apply. FINDING: Based on the analysis above, the Access, Egress and Circulation standards have been met. Densit Com utations and Limitations: aper 18.715 implements the omprehensive Plan by establishing the criteria for determining the number of dwelling units permitted. The number of allowable dwelling units is based on the net development area. The net area is the remaining parcel area after exclusion of sensitive lands and land dedicated for public roads or parks: The net area is then divided by the minimum lot size permitted by the zoning district to determine the number of dwelling units that may be developed on a site. Based on the formulas in Chapter 18:715 of the City of Tigard Community Development Code, the maximum and minimum number of units permitted on the site are based on the net developable area, subtracting sensitive land areas, land dedicated to public parks, land dedicated for public right-of-way, and land for private streets from the total site area. Of the total site area (58,440 square feet), 11,674 square feet will be dedicated to public and private street right-of-ways. This results in a net developable area of 46,766 square feet. Therefore, the maximum number of lots permitted on this site based on 5,000 square foot lots is nine, and the minimum number of lots is seven. The applicant's proposal to build eight lots for single-family detached homes meets the minimum density requirements of the R-7 zone. The applicant will be required to remove the existing home prior to the recording of the final plat. FINDING: Based on the analysis above, the Density Standards have not been satisfied. If the applicant complies with the condition below, the standard will be met. CONDITION: Remove all existing structures prior to recording the final plat. Environmental performance standards (18.725): These standards require that federal and state environmental laws, rules and regulations be applied to development within the City of Tigard. Section 18.725.030 (Performance Standards) regulates: Noise, visible emissions, vibration and odors. Noise. For the purposes of noise regulation, the provisions of Sections 7.41.130 through 7.40.210 oT-tfi-eTigard municipal Code shall apply. Visible Emissions. Within the commercial zoning districts and the industrial park (IP) zoning ~stric , ere sfi-a-11 be no use, operation or activity which results in a stack or other point- source emission, other than an emission from space heating, or the emission of pure uncombined water (steam) which is visible from a property line. Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) rules for visible emissions (340-21-015 and 340-28-070) apply. Vibration. No vibration other than that caused by highway vehicles, trains and aircraft is perms to in any given zoning district which is discernible without instruments at the property line of the use concerned. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 16 OF 35 SUB2004-00022 -TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION Odors. The emissions of odorous gases or other matter in such quantities as to be readily e-Fe-c able at any point beyond the property line of the use creating the odors is prohibited. DEQ rules for odors (340-028-090) apply. Glare and heat. No direct or sky reflected glare, whether from floodlights or from high temperature processes such as combustion or welding, which is visible at the lot line shall be permitted, and; 1) there shall be no emission or transmission of heat or heated air which is discernible at the lot line of the source; and 2) these regulations shall not apply to signs or floodlights in parking areas or construction equipment at the time of construction or excavation work otherwise permitted by this title. Insects and rodents. All materials including wastes shall be stored and all grounds shall be maintains in a manner which will not attract or aid the propagation of insects or rodents or create a health hazard. This is a detached single-family project, which is permitted within the R-7 zone. There is nothing to indicate that these standards will not be met. However, ongoing maintenance to meet these standards shall be maintained and any violation of these standards will be addressed by the City of Tigard's' Code Enforcement Officer. FINDING: The Environmental Performance standards are met. Landscaping and Screening (18.745: ec ion saes a existing vegetation on a site shall be protected as much as possible. The developer shall provide methods for the protection of existing vegetation to remain during the construction process; and the plants to be saved shall be noted on the landscape plans (e.g. areas not to be disturbed can be fenced, as in snow fencing which can be placed around individual trees). The applicant has proposed to extend SW Trevor Lane, a public street approximately 173 feet. According to the standard, any street or driveway more than 100 feet in length must provide street trees according to Section 18.745.040.C. The applicant has provided a tree plan that shows Zelkova Serrata (Green Vase) as street trees. According to the City's Street Tree list, Zelkova Serrata are considered larae sized trees. Therefore, the proposed trees cannot be spaced any greater than 40 feet apart. The submitted plans show the proposed street trees to be planted 30 feet apart, which meets the spacing requirements of Section 18.745.040.C.2.b of the Tigard Development Code. Section 18.745.040.C requires that street trees be planted in conjunction with all development that fronts a street or driveway more than 100 feet long. A proposed planting list must be submitted for review by the Director since certain trees can damage utilities, streets and sidewalks or cause personal injury. This section also contains specific standards for spacing of street trees as follows: Small or narrow stature trees (under 25 feet tall and less than 16 feet wide branching) shall be spaced no greater than 20 feet apart; Medium sized trees (25 feet to 40 feet tall, 16 feet to 35 feet wide branching) shall be spaced no greater than 30 feet apart; and Large trees (over 40 feet tall and more than 35 feet wide branching) shall be spaced no greater than 40 feet apart; As mentioned above, the applicant has proposed planting Zelkova Serrata (Green Vase) as street trees which are medium sized trees planted 30 feet apart. Therefore, this standard has been satisfied. Section 18.745.050 contains the provisions and requirements for buffering and screening. The Buffering and Screening Matrix (Section 18.745.1) does not require buffering or screening when a single-family detached residential use is proposed adjacent to existing detached single-family dwellings. Therefore, this section does not apply. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 17 OF 35 SUB2004-00022-TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION Section 18.745.060 contains the provisions for re-vegetation where natural vegetation has been removed through grading. Such areas are to be replanted as set forth in this section to prevent erosion after construction activities are completed. The applicant has not indicated how removal of natural vegetation will be minimized. Therefore, the applicant is required to submit a grading plan that includes a schedule for revegetation after areas have been cleared. The required plan shall also include information regarding the techniques to be used to ensure slope stabilization andpminimal surface water runoff. FINDING: Based on the analysis above, the landscaping and screening standards have not been met. If the Applicant complies with the condition below, the standards will be met. CONDITION: Submit a grading plan that includes a schedule for revegetation after areas have been cleared. The required plan shall also include information regarding the techniques to be used to ensure slope stabilization and minimal surface water runoff. Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements (18.765): trap er .765, Table 18.765.requires a single-family residences be provided with one (1) off-street parking space for each dwelling unit. Compliance with this standard will be enforced during the building permit review process. Since the Code requires 20 feet from the property line to the face of a garage, this will insure that at least one car can park off of the street, outside of any garage. FINDING: Because each individual home will be reviewed for compliance with this standard during the building permit phase and it is feasible that this standard will be met by providing driveways and garages, the Off-Street Parking and Loading requirements have been satisfied. Signs 1 Chapter 15.786 regulates the placement, number and design criteria for signage. No signs are proposed in conjunction with this development. Any future signage will be subject to the sign permit requirements in conjunction 18.780. There has been a proliferation of sign violations from new subdivisions. In accordance with a new policy adopted by the Director's Designee, all new subdivisions must enter into a sign compliance agreement to facilitate a more expeditious court process for citations. FINDING: To ensure compliance and enforcement of sign violations, a sign compliance agreement will be required. CONDITION: Prior to the issuance of building permits, the developer shall sign a copy of the City's sign compliance agreement. Tree Removal (18.790): Tree plan required. A tree plan for the planting, removal and protection of trees prepared by a certified arborist shall be provided for any lot, parcel or combination of lots or parcels for which a development application for a subdivision, Partition, site development review, planned development or conditional use is filed. Protection is preferred over removal wherever possible. Plan requirements. The tree plan shall include the following: 1. Identification of the location, size and species of all existing trees including trees designated as significant by the city; 2. Identification of a program to save existing trees or mitigate tree removal over 12 inches in caliper. Mitigation must follow the replacement guidelines of Section 18.790.060D, in accordance with the following standards and shall be exclusive of trees required by other development code provisions for landscaping, streets and parking lots: NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 18 OF 35 SUB2004-00022 - TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION a. Retention of less than 25% of existing trees over 12 inches in caliper requires a mitigation program in accordance with Section 18.790.060D of no net loss of trees; b. Retention of from 25% to 50% of existing trees over 12 inches in caliper requires that two-thirds of the trees to be removed be mitigated in accordance with Section 18.790.060D; C. Retention of from 50% to 75% of existing trees over 12 inches in caliper requires that 50 percent of the trees to be removed be mitigated in accordance with Section 18.790.060D; d. Retention of 75% or greater of existing trees over 12 inches in caliper requires no mitigation. 3. Identification of all trees which are proposed to be removed; 4. A protection program defining standards and methods that will be used by the applicant to protect trees during and after construction. As required, the applicant submitted a tree plan that was prepared by a certified arborist. The plan contains all four of the required components of a tree plan, and, is therefore, acceptable. The applicant has submitted a tree inventory prepared by the arborist. The tree inventory indicates that there are 27 trees on site 6" in diameter or greater. Of these 27, nine trees are greater than 12 inches in diameter. According to the arborist, two of the trees greater than 12-inches are hazardous and are not counted in the mitigation calculation. The applicant states in the narrative that two additional trees greater than 12-inches are not counted in the mitigation calculation because they are right-of-way trees in the dedication area of Beef Bend Road. The dedication of right-of-way is considered part of development. Therefore, the applicant must provide a mitigation plan for a total of 170-inches. FINDING: Based on the analysis above, the Tree Removal standards can be met, provided the applicant complies with the conditions listed below: CONDITIONS: Provide a mitigation plan for a total of 170-inches. • Prior to commencing site work, a combination utility/tree protection plan shall be incorporated as a supplement to the PFI permit plans to ensure minimization of utility lines and street improvements within the specified tree protection zone (TPZ). Prior to commencing on-site improvements, the applicant shall submit a final Tree Protection Plan to the City Forester for review and approval that shows exactly how far the tree protection fencing will be from the face of each protected tree that will be impacted by construction activities within its dripline. The applicant, through their Project Arborist, shall justify the close proximity of the construction activities to the trees, and certify that the activities will not adversely impact the overall and long-term health and stability of each tree. Once approved, tree protection measures must be installed for all trees to be retained. Once installed, the City Forester must inspect the tree protection measures. The applicant shall acknowledge in writing that the development code provides for the following penalties if the trees on-site are damaged or removed without approval: Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, any party found to be in violation of this chapter pursuant to Chapter 1.16 of the Tigard Municipal Code shall be subject to a civil penalty of up to $500 and shall be required to remedy any damage caused by the violation. Such remediation shall include, but not be limited to, the following: NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 19 OF 35 SUB2004-00022 -TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION A. Replacement of unlawfully removed or damaged trees in accordance with Section 18.790.060 (D) of the Tigard Development Code; and B. Payment of an additional civil penalty representing the estimated value of any unlawfully removed or damaged tree, as determined using the most current International Society of Arboriculture's Guide for Plant Appraisal. Prior to issuance of building permits the Project Arborist shall submit to the City Forester a final certification indicating the elements of the Tree Protection Plan were followed and that all remaining trees on the site are healthy, stable and viable in their modified growing environment. The property owner/applicant and their assigns are responsible for complying with the following requirement: The Project Arborist shall inspect the site at a minimum of every two weeks, and at any time when intrusions into the TPZ are required. The project arborist shall submit written reports to the City Forester a minimum of once every two weeks, as he monitors the construction activities and progress. These reports shall include any changes that may have occurred to the TPZ as well as indicate the condition and location of the tree protection fencing. If the amount of TPZ was reduced, then the Project Arborist shall justify why the fencing was moved, and shall certify that the construction activities to the trees did not adversely impact the overall and ong-term health and stability of the tree(s). If the reports are not submitted or received by the City Forester at the scheduled intervals, and if it appears the TPZ's or the Tree Protection Plan is not being followed by the contractor, the City can stop work on the project until an inspection can be done by the City Forester and the Project Arborist and appropriate remedies can be imposed, if necessary. This inspection will be to evaluate the tree protection fencing, determine if the fencing was moved at any point during construction, and determine if any part of the Tree Protection Plan has been violated. Record deed restrictions for all trees to remain located on the proposed parcels. Vision Clearance: Chapter M applies to all development and requires that clear vision area shall be maintained on the corners of all property adjacent to intersecting right-of-ways and at the intersection of a public street and a private driveway. A visual clearance area shall contain no vehicle, hedge, plantin , fence, wall structure, signs, or temporary or permanent obstruction exceeding three feet in height. The applicant has indicated the vision clearance areas on the street layout plan (sheet #1) and has not proposed any structures (including retaining walls) or vegetation in the vision clearance areas over three feet. FINDING: Because no structures are currently proposed in the vision clearance area and all future buildings will be reviewed for compliance during the building permit phase, this standard has been satisfied. The applicant has additionally been conditioned to provide a post construction sight distance certification previously in this decision. C - STREET AND UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS STANDARDS (SECTION 18.810): Street And Utilitv Improvements Standards (Section 18.810L. Chapter provides construction sn ar s or We -implementation of public and private facilities and utilities such as streets, sewers, and drainage. The applicable standards are addressed below: Streets: Improvements: Section 18.810.030.A.1 states that streets within a development and streets adjacent shall be improved in accordance with the TDC standards. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 20 OF 35 SUB2004-00022 - TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION Section 18.810.030.A.2 states that any new street or additional street width planned as a portion of an existing street shall be dedicated and improved in accordance with the TDC. Minimum Rights-of-Way and Street Widths: Section 18.810.030.E requires an Arterial street to have a 90 foot right-of-way width and 50-foot paved section. Other improvements required may include on-street parking, sidewalks and bikeways, underground utilities, street lighting, storm drainage, and street trees. This site lies adjacent to SW Beef Bend Road, which is classified as an Arterial by Washington County and on the City of Tigard Transportation Plan Map. At present, there is approximately 30 feet of ROW from centerline, according to the most recent tax assessor's map The applicant should dedicate the additional ROW to provide for 45 feet from centerline. The applicant shall also provide a non-access reservation along the SW Beef Bend Road frontage on the plat. SW Beef Bend Road is currently partially improved. In order to mitigate the impact from this development, the applicant should construct half-street improvements according to Washin ton County standards. These improvements shall include 25 feet of pavement from centerline, curb, 4 foot planter strip and 5 foot sidewalk. The applicant shall apply for and obtain a Washington County Facility Permit for all work within the ROW of Beef Bend Road. Minimum Rights-of-Way and Street Widths: Section 18.810.030.E requires a Local street to have a 54 foot right-of-way width and 32-foot paved section. Other improvements required may include on-street parking, sidewalks and bikeways, underground utilities, street lighting, storm drainage, and street trees. The applicant has proposed to provide a "Skinny" street option for the extension of Trevor Lane. The right-of-way dedication proposed is 46 feet. The existing ROW for Trevor Lane to the east is 40 feet wide. The applicant has indicated in the narrative that with future development the expected trips will be 120 VPD. The proposed development plans to the west however would indicate that the trips on Trevor Lane would be on the order of 430 VPD. The existing portion of Trevor Lane is 28 feet wide. The proposed Skinny street would only provide 24 feet of paving from curb to curb. Staff does not support reducing the pavement width as the road is extended to serve this site and development to the west. Staff is requiring the applicant to revise the plans to provide a 50 foot ROW and 28 foot paved section. This is still a reduction to the standard street and ROW widths, which provides for up to 500 VPD, having a minimal impact on the proposed development. Future Street Plan and Extension of Streets: Section 18.810.0301 states that a future street plan shall be filed which shows the pattern of existing and proposed future streets from the boundaries of the proposed land division. This section also states that where it is necessary to give access or permit a satisfactory future division of adjoining land, streets shall be extended to fhe boundarrv lines of the tract to be developed and a barricade shall be constructed at the end of the street. These street stubs to adjoining properties are not considered to be cul-de-sacs since they are intended to continue as through streets at such time as the adjoining property is developed. A barricade shall be constructed at the end of the street by the roperty owners which shall not be removed until authorized by the City Engineer, the cost o which shall be included in the street construction cost. Temporary hammerhead turnouts or temporary cul-de- sac bulbs shall be constructed for stub streets in excess of 150 feet in length. The applicant has provided a future street plan that shows how streets might be extended through properties to the west and north. Staff agrees that this is a reasonable horizontal alignment, but the applicant must submit a profile of the proposed future street system shown in the application. The profiles must be submitted for review with the PFI application. The proposed improvements to Trevor Lane will terminate at the west property line and a barricade will be constructed at this location. Street Alignment and Connections: Section 18.810.030.H.1 states that full street connections with spacing of no more than 530 feet between connections is required except where prevented by barriers such as topography, railroads, freeways, pre-existing developments lease provisions, easements, covenants or other restrictions existing prior to, May 1, 1995 which preclude street connections. A full street connection may also be exempted due to a regulated water feature if regulations would not permit construction. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 21 OF 35 SUB2004-00022 - TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION Section 18.810.030.H.2 states that all local, neighborhood routes and collector streets which abut a development site shall be extended within the site to provide through circulation when not precluded by environmental or topographical constraints, existing development patterns or strict adherence to other standards in this code. A street connection or extension is precluded when it is not possible to redesign, or reconfigure the street pattern to provide required extensions. Land is considered topographically constrained if the slope is greater than 15% for a distance of 250 feet or more. In the case of environmental or topographical constraints, the mere presence of a constraint is not sufficient to show that a street connection is not possible. The applicant must show why the constraint precludes some reasonable street connection. The extension of Trevor Lane through this site can easily be extended to serve future development to the west. Grades and Curves: Section 18.810.030.N states that grades shall not exceed ten percent on arterials, 12% on collector streets, or 12% on any other street (except that local or residential access streets may have segments with grades up to 15% for distances of no greater than 250 feet). Centerline radii of curves shall be as determined by the City Engineer. The proposed grades of Trevor Lane do not exceed 12%, according to the applicant's plans, thereby meeting this criterion. Access to Arterials and Major Collectors: Section 18.810.030.Q states that where a development abuts or is traversed by an existing or proposed arterial or major collector street, the development design shall provide adequate protection for residential properties and shall separate residential access and through traffic, or if separation is not feasible, the design shall minimize the traffic conflicts. The design shall include any of the following: ♦ A parallel access street along the arterial or major collector; Lots of suitable depth abutting the arterial or mayor collector to provide adequate buffering with frontage along another street; Screen planting at the rear or side property line to be contained in a non-access reservation along the arterial or major collector; or ♦ Other treatment suitable to meet the objectives of this subsection; ♦ If a lot has access to two streets with different classifications, primary access should be from the lower classification street. This development abuts Beef Bend Road, which is classified as an Arterial. No lots shall have direct access to Beef Bend Road. All access will be to Trevor Lane, which is parallel to Beef Bend Road. Block Designs - Section 18.810.040.A states that the length, width and shape of blocks shall be designed with due regard to providing adequate building sites for the use contemplated, consideration of needs for convenient access, circulation, control and safety of street traffic and recognition of limitations and opportunities of topography. Block Sizes: Section 18.810.040.B.1 states that the perimeter of blocks formed by streets shall not exceed 1,800 feet measured along the right-of-way line except: ♦ Where street location is precluded by natural topography, wetlands or other bodies of water or, pre-existing development or; ♦ For blocks adjacent to arterial streets, limited access highways, major collectors or railroads. For non-residential blocks in which internal public circulation provides equivalent access. No blocks are created with this application. If and when the adjoining parcel to the west develops, and SW Trevor Lane was extended to re-intersect with SW Beef Bend Road, the perimeter of the block would be approximately 975 feet in length. Therefore, this standard does not apply. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 22 OF 35 SUB2004-00022 -TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION Section 18.810.040.13.2 also states that bicycle and pedestrian connections on public easements or right-of-ways shall be provided when full street connection is not possible. Spacing between connections shall be no more than 330 feet, except where precluded by environmental or topographical constraints, existing development patterns, or strict adherence to other standards in the code. Based on the analysis above, this standard does not apply. Lots - Size and Shape: Section 18.810.060(A) prohibits lot depth from being more than 2.5 times the average lot width, unless the parcel is less than 1.5 times the minimum lot size of the applicable zoning district. The largest of the proposed parcels is 7,510 square feet, which is 1.502 times the average lot size. The parcel is 85 feet in width and 85 feet in length. Therefore, none of the proposed lots are more than 2.5 times the average lot width. This standard has been satisfied. Lot Frontage: Section 18.810.060(B) requires that lots have at least 25 feet of frontage on public or private streets, other than an alley. In the case of a land partition, 18.420.050.A.4.c applies, which requires a parcel to either have a minimum 15-foot frontage or a minimum 15-foot wide recorded access easement. In cases where the lot is for an attached single-family dwelling unit, the frontage shall be at least 15 feet. Proposed parcel #8 has the least amount of frontage onto a public street (25.07 feet on Beef Bend Road). Therefore, this standard has been satisfied. Sidewalks: Section 18.810.070.A requires that sidewalks be constructed to meet City design standards and be located on both sides of arterial, collector and local residential streets. Private streets and industrial streets shall have sidewalks on at least one side. The applicant's plans indicate they will construct sidewalks and planter strip along the Beef Bend Road frontage in accordance with Washington County standards. The plans also indicate sidewalks and planter strips will be constructed along both sides of the Trevor Lane extension, thereby meeting this criterion. Sanitary Sewers: Sewers Required: Section 18.810.090.A requires that sanitary sewer be installed to serve each new development and to connect developments to existing mains in accordance with the provisions set forth in Design and Construction Standards for Sanitary and Surface Water Management (as adopted by Clean Water Services in 1996 and including any future revisions or amendments) and the adopted policies of the comprehensive plan. Over-sizing: Section 18.810.090.0 states that proposed sewer systems shall include consideration of additional development within the area as projected by the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant's plans indicate they will construct a public sewer to serve this site. The sewer will connect to the existing sewer in Beef Bend Road. This development is within the Clean Water Services (CWS) area. The applicant shall submit plans for review and approval to CWS. Storm Drainage: General Provisions: Section 18.810.100.A requires developers to make adequate provisions for storm water and flood water runoff. Accommodation of Upstream Drainage: Section 18.810.100.C states that a culvert or other drainage facility shall be large enough to accommodate potential runoff from its entire upstream drainage area, whether inside or outside the development. The City Engineer shall approve the necessary size of the facility, based on the provisions of Design and Construction Standards for Sanitary and Surface Water Management (as adopted by Clean Water Services in 2000 and including any future revisions or amendments). NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 23 OF 35 SUB2004-00022 -TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION The applicant must submit stormwater plans to CWS for review and approval prior to beginning construction. Effect on Downstream Drainage: Section 18.810.100.13 states that where it is anticipated by the City Engineer that the additional runoff resulting from the development will overload an existing drainage facility, the Director and Engineer shall withhold approval of the development until provisions have been made for improvement of the potential condition or until provisions have been made for storage of additional runoff caused by the development in accordance with the Design and Construction Standards for Sanitary and Surface Water Management (as adopted by Clean Water Services in 2000 and including any future revisions or amendments). In 1997, Clean Water Services (CWS) completed a basin study of Fanno Creek and adopted the Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan. Section V of that plan includes a recommendation that local governments institute a stormwater detention/effective impervious area reduction program resulting in no net increase in storm peak flows up to the 25-year event. The City will require that all new developments resulting in an increase of impervious surfaces provide onsite detention facilities, unless the development is located adjacent to Fanno Creek. For those developments adjacent to Fanno Creek, the storm water runoff will be permitted to discharge without detention. Detention may be required. The applicant shall submit plans to CWS for review and approval prior to beginning construction. Bikeways and Pedestrian Pathways: Bikeway Extension: Section 18.810.110.A states that developments adjoining proposed bikeways identified on the City's adopted pedestrian/bikeway plan shall include provisions for the future extension of such bikeways through the dedication of easements or right-of-way. Beef Bend Road is a bicycle facility. Washington County has indicated that the applicant shall provide a 6 foot bicycle lane. Utilities: Section 18.810.120 states that all utility lines, but not limited to those required for electric, communication, lighting and cable television services and related facilities shall be placed underground, except for surface mounted transformers, surface mounted connection boxes and meter cabinets which may be placed above ground, temporary utility service facilities during construction, high capacity electric lines operating at 50,000 volts or above, and: The developer shall make all necessary arrangements with the serving utility to provide the underground services; The City reserves the right to approve location of all surface mounted facilities; All underground utilities, including sanitary sewers and storm drains installed in streets by the developer, shall be constructed prior to the surfacing of the streets; and Stubs for service connections shall be long enough to avoid disturbing the street improvements when service connections are made. Exception to Under-Grounding Requirement: Section 18.810.120.C states that a developer shall pay a fee in-lieu of under-grounding costs when the development is proposed to take place on a street where existing utilities which are not underground will serve the development and the approval authority determines that the cost and technical difficulty of under-grounding the utilities outweighs the benefit of under-grounding in conjunction with the development. The determination shall be on a case-by-case basis. The most common, but not the only, such situation is a short frontage development for which under-grounding would result in the placement of additional poles, rather than the removal of above-ground utilities facilities. An applicant for a development which is served by utilities which are not underground and which are located across a public right-of-way from the applicant's property shall pay a fee in-lieu of under-grounding. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 24 OF 35 SUB2004-00022 - TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION There are existing overhead utility lines along the frontage of SW Beef Bend Road. If the fee in-lieu is proposed, it is equal to $35.00 per lineal foot of street frontage that contains the overhead lines. The frontage along this site is 177 lineal feet; therefore the fee would be $6,195.00. ADDITIONAL CITY AND/OR AGENCY CONCERNS WITH STREET AND UTILITY IMPROVEMENT STANDARDS: Traffic Std Findin s: The applicant's engineer provided additional information regarding the Skinny Street option proposed for Trevor Lane. The engineer indicates that the number of trips expected to use Trevor Lane is 120 pper day. The basis of this assumption is their proposed future streets plan. A proposed development to the west shows a much different street layout which would direct approximately 350 vehicle trips per day to Trevor Lane. This is due to the County not allowing an access to Beef Bend Road from the adjacent development because of access spacing standards. While the development to the west has not submitted their formal application, its is expected that the County will not allow another street connection to Beef Bend Road between 146" and 150 Avenues. Public Water SS /stem: The applicant s' plans indicate they will serve this development from the existing line in Trevor Lane. The applicant has also shown a 16" line to be constructed in Beef Bend Road. The City of Tigard WaterDepartment is requiring this 16" line to be extend to the west end of this develo ent. The cost of this 16" line will be shared by the developer and the City's Water Department. The applicant shall work with the Water Department on an approved design and include this work in the PFI application. Storm Water Qualit : The Ciit as agree to enforce Surface Water Management (SWM) regulations established by Clean Water Services (CWS) Design and Construction Standards (adopted by Resolution and Order No. 00-7) which require the construction of on-site water quality facilities. The facilities shall be designed to remove 65 _percent of the phosphorus contained in 100 percent of the storm water runoff generated om newly created impervious surfaces. In addition, a maintenance plan shall be submitted indicating the frequency and method to be used in keeping the facility maintained through the year. Prior to construction, the applicant shall submit plans and calculations for a water quality facility that will meet the intent of the CWS Design Standards. The applicant shall revise the calculations to meet the current CWS Design Standards, which do no allow a credit for existing impervious surface area. In addition, the applicant shall submit a maintenance plan for the facility that must be reviewed and approved by CWS prior to construction. Gradin and Erosion Control: UWS Design an ons ruc ion Standards also regulate erosion control to reduce the amount of sediment and other pollutants reaching the public storm and surface water system resulting from development, construction, grading, excavating, clearing, and any other activity which accelerates erosion. Per CWS regulations, the.applicant is required to submit an erosion control plan for City review and approval prior to issuance of City permits. The Federal Clean Water Act requires that a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES erosion control permit be issued for any development that will disturb one or more acre of land. Since this site is over five acres, the developer will be required to obtain an NPDES permit from the City prior to construction. This permit will be issued along with the site and/or building permit. A final grading plan shall be submitted showing the existing and proposed contours. The plan shall detail the provisions for surface drainage of all lots, and show that they will be graded to insure that surface drainage is directed to the street or a public storm drainage system approved by the Engineering Department. For situations where the back portions of lots drain away from a street and toward adjacent lots, appropriate private storm drainage lines shall be provided to sufficiently contain and convey runoff from each lot. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 25 OF 35 SUB2004-00022-TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION The applicant will also be required to provide a geotechnical report, per Appendix Chapter 33 of the UBC, for the proposed grading slope construction. The recommendations of the report will need to be incorporated into the final grading plan and a final construction supervision report must be filed with the Engineering Department prior to issuance of building permits. The design engineer shall also indicate, on the grading plan, which lots will have natural slopes between 10% and 20%, as well as lots that will have natural slopes in excess of 20%. This information will be necessary in determining if special grading inspections and/or permits will be necessary when the lots develop. Address Assi nments: The City o' Igar is responsible for assigning addresses for parcels within the City of Tigard and within the Urban Service Boundary (USB). An addressing fee in the amount of $50.00 per address shall be assessed. This fee shall be paid to the City prior to final plat approval. The developer will also be required to provide signage at the entrance of each shared flag lot driveway or private street that lists the addresses that are served by the given driveway or street. This will assist emergency services personnel to more easily find a particular home. Survev Reauiremenis TFie applicant's final plat shall contain State Plane Coordinates [NAD 83 (911 on two monuments with a tie to the City's global positioning system (GPS) geodetic control network (GC 22). These monuments shall be on the same line and shall be of the same precision as required for the subdivision plat boundary. Along with the coordinates, the plat shall contain the scale factor to convert ground measurements to grid measurements and the angle from north to grid north. These coordinates can be established by: GPS tie networked to the City's GPS survey. By random traverse using conventional surveying methods. In addition, the applicant's as-built drawings shall be tied to the GPS network. The applicant's engineer shall provide the City with an electronic file with points for each structure (manholes, catch basins, water valves, hydrants and other water system features) in the development, and their respective X and Y State Plane Coordinates, referenced to NAD 83 (91). D. - IMPACT STUDY Section 18.390.040 sates that the applicant shall provide an impact study to quantify the effect of development on public facilities and services. The study shall address, at a minimum, the transportation system including bikeways, the drainage system, the parks system, the water system, the sewer system, and the noise impacts of the development. For each public facility system and type of impact, the study shall propose improvements necessary to meet City standards, and to minimize the impact of the development on the public at large, public facilities systems, and affected private property users. In situations where the Community Development Code requires the dedication of real property interests, the applicant shall either specifically concur with a requirement for public right-of-way dedication, or provide evidence that supports the conclusion that the real property dedication requirement is not roughly proportional to the projected impacts of the development. Section 18.390.040 states that when a condition of approval requires the transfer to the public of an interest in real property, the approval authority shall adopt findings which support the conclusion that the interest in real property to be transferred is roughly proportional to the impact the proposed development will have on the public. Any required street improvements to certain collector or higher volume streets and the Washington County Traffic Impact Fee (TIF) are mitigation measures that are required at the time of development. Based on a transportation impact study prepared by Mr. David Larson for the A-Boy Expansion/Dolan II/Resolution 95-61, TIF's are expected to recapture 32 percent of the traffic impact of new development on the Collector and Arterial Street system. Presently, the TIF for a detached, single-family dwelling is $2,690. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 26 OF 35 SUB2004-00022 - TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION The internal streets within the subdivision are needed to allow the subdivision to develop and the need for these streets is created by the subdivision. Because the need for the internal streets is created by the development, the impact of the development is direct) proportional to the cost of dedication and construction of the internal streets. Upon completion of this development, the future builders of the residences will be required to pay TIF's totaling approximately $21,520 ($2,690 x 8 dwelling units). Based on the estimate that total TIF fees cover 32 percent of the impact on major street improvements citywide, a fee that would cover 100 percent of this projects traffic impact is $67,250 ($21,520 divided by .32). The difference between the TIF paid and the full impact, is considered as unmitigated impact. Since the TIF paid is $21,520, the unmitigated impact can be valued at $45,730. Given that the estimated cost of the dedication and half-street improvements along SW Beef Bend Road is $43,121, the value of these improvements is less than the value of the unmitigated impacts, the exactions are proportionate. E. - WASHINGTON COUNTY SW BULL MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY PLAN Summit an Slopes - esim emen : 1. The residential character of this subarea is to be protected. Improvement of roadways should be done in a manner which does not encourage excessive traffic. All roads planned for improvement or connection to SW Bull Mountain Road within the Planning area should be constructed as minor collectors or local streets following the topography generally and not directly aligned with other major roadways. The proposed development is a residential subdivision. Improvement of streets will be done to meet traffic safety requirements and meet development code standards. No major roadways are proposed with this application. The public street serving the Trevor Ridge Subdivision will be an extension of SW Trevor Lane. Trevor Lane is considered a local street. The proposed extension will abut the adjoining parcel to the west for future development. Southwest Trevor Lane is approximately 196 feet north of SW Beef Bend Road. Therefore, Trevor Lane does not directly align with any other major roadway. This standard has been satisfied. 2. Hillside building techniques and foundation designs such as stilts, stepped foundations, etc. shall be used to minimize the alteration of existing slopes over 20 percent. Detailed site plans, elevations and sections shall be required showing all structures, foundations, and techniques proposed for hillside construction. These, as well as other site plan requirements for building on steep slopes, as defined in the Community Development Code, are intended to ensure that development activities do not increase the potential for earth movements such as landslides or land failures in the steeply sloped subarea. Detailed site plans will be generated at the building permit stage for home construction. There are no slopes on the site that are greater than 20 percent. Therefore, tFiis standard has been satisfied. 3. No grading, filling, clearing or excavation of any kind shall be initiated on steep slopes until a grading plan, as defined in the Community Development Code, is approved. Borrowing to obtain fill material shall be prohibited unless the material is obtained from a cut permitted under an approved grading plan, or imported from outside the hillside area. The final grading plan will show all proposed grading. Grading is discussed in greater detail under the Street and Utility Improvement Standards section of this decision. 4. Removal of natural vegetation shall be minimized; existing vegetation protected and destroyed vegetation replaced. This is required in order to conserve important natural areas, decrease the potential for erosion, decrease the amount of surface water runoff and help prevent earth movement in hazardous areas. A slope stabilization and revegetation plan, which includes a schedule for revegetation after areas have been cleared, shall be included with the required grading plan. Revegetation shall be completed before October 15 of the year of construction, or a temporary treatment shall be required sufficient to prevent erosion prior to the rainy season NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 27 OF 35 SUB2004-00022-TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION The applicant has been conditioned under 18.745 (Landscaping and Screening) to submit a grading plan that includes a schedule for revegetation after areas have been cleared. The required plan shall has been conditioned to include information regarding the techniques to be used to ensure slope stabilization and minimal surface water runoff. Therefore, this standard has been satisfied. 5. Because trees are such an important natural and scenic resource on SW Bull Mountain, development in areas of standing trees shall be designed to minimize the number of trees to be cut. At the time of development, no more than fifty percent of the mature standing trees (six inch diameter or greater) shall be removed from any parcel. Development design and clearing for structures shall provide for maximum retention of old growth trees. Prior to development, the harvesting of forest tree species for their commercial value shall be in accord with the Oregon Forest Practices Act. The slope stabilization and revegetation plan shall indicate the mature tree planned for removal and describe the replacement programs. Replacement trees must be of at least 1%-inch diameter. With reference to the "year built" information from Washington County Assessor records, the subject parcel was developed for residential use prior to the adoption of the Bull Mountain Community P an, which occurred in 1983. The above standard refers to properties in areas of "standing trees . The construction date of the existing home (1949) makes it clear that at the time the Bull Mountain Community Plan was being considered, the subject parcel could not have correctly been considered to be an "area of standing trees." Therefore, this standard does not apply. 6. Streams, seasonal waterways and immediately adjacent riparian zones, as defined in the Community Development Code, shall be preserved in their natural condition including topography and vegetation. Where roads are required, bridges shall be preferred means of crossing streams and waterways rather than infill and piping or channelization of water flow. There are no streams or seasonal waterways within the subject property or adjacent to the subject property. Therefore, this standard does not apply. 7. Use of power line easements for farm operations, open space, and wildlife habitat shall be encouraged as appropriate in this subarea. There are no power line easements within the sub1'ect proposal area. The Bonneville Power Easement is approximately 2,000 feet to the east of this site. This element is not applicable. 8. This Design element refers to Area of Special Concern 1, which is not within the project area. Therefore, this element does not apply. 9. This Design element refers to Area of Special Concern 2, which is not within the project area. Therefore, this element does not apply. 10. This Design element refers to Area of Special Concern 3, which is not within the project area. Therefore, this element does not apply. FINDING: Based on the analysis above, the standards of the Bull Mountain Community Plan have been satisfied. SECTION VII. OTHER STAFF COMMENTS City of Tigard Forester has reviewed the proposal and has offered the following comments. LANDSCAPING AND SCREENING 18.745.030.C, Installation Requirements The installation of all landscaping shall be as follows: NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 28 OF 35 SUB2004-00022 -TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION All landscaping shall be installed according to accepted planting procedures.

No more than 20% of any one genus be planted onsite. No more than 10% of any one species be planted onsite. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 29 OF 35 SUB2004-00022-TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION 2. TREE REMOVAL 18.790.030, Tree Plan Requirement A. Tree plan required. A tree plan for the planting, removal and protection of trees prepare by a cer tr ie ar orist shall be provided for any lot, parcel or combination of lots or parcels for which a development application for a subdivision, partition, site development review, planned development or conditional use is filed. Protection is preferred over removal wherever possible. B. Plan requirements. The tree plan shall include the following: 1. Identification f the location, size and species of all existing trees including trees designated as significant by the city; 2. Identification of a program to save existing trees or mitigate tree removal over 12 inches in caliper. Mitigation must follow the replacement guidelines of Section 18.790.060D, in accordance with the following standards and shall be exclusive of trees required by other development code provisions for landscaping, streets and parking lots: a. Retention of less than 25% of existing trees over 12 inches in caliper requires a mitigation program in accordance with Section 18.790.060D of no net loss of trees; b. Retention of from 25% to 50% of existing trees over 12 inches in caliper requires that two-thirds of the trees to be removed be mitigated in accordance with Section 18.790.060D; C. Retention of from 50% to 75% of existing trees over 12 inches in caliper requires that 50 percent of the trees to be removed be mitigated in accordance with Section 18.790.060D; d. Retention of 75% or greater of existing trees over 12 inches in caliper requires no mitigation. 3. Identification of all trees which are proposed to be removed; 4. A protection program defining standards and methods that will be used by the applicant to protect trees during and after construction. As required, the applicant submitted a tree plan that was conducted by Walt Knapp. The plan contains all four of the required components of a tree plan, and, is therefore, acceptable. I recommend the developer look into ways to preserve trees 172 and 191. If you have any questions please call me anytime. Thank you for requesting my comments on this project. City of Tigard Residential Plans Examiner has reviewed the proposal and has no objection to it. City of Tigard Police Department has reviewed the proposal and has offered the following comment. 1. ecommend a monument sign at foot of "Trevor Lane" to identify house umbers for lot six, seven, and eight. SECTION VIII.

Considerations for placing fire hydrants may be as follows: Existing hydrants in the area may be use to meet a required number of hydrants as approved. Hydrants that are up to 600 feet away from the nearest point of a subject building that is protected with fire sprinklers may contribute to the required number of hydrants. Hydrants that are separated from the subject building by railroad tracks shall not contribute to the required number of hydrants unless approved by the fire code official. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 31 OF 35 SUB2004-00022 -TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION Hydrants that are separated from the subject building by divided highways or freeways shall not contribute to the required number of hydrants. Heavily traveled collector streets only as approved by the fire code official. Hydrants that are accessible only by a bridge shall be acceptable to contribute to the required number of hydrants only if approved by the fire code official. FIRE HYDRANT DISTANCE FROM AN ACCESS ROAD: Fire hydrants shall be located not more an 15 ee rom an approve tire appara us access roadway. REFLECTIVE HYDRANT MARKERS: Fire hydrant locations shall be identified by the installation of reflective markers. The markers s a e blue. They shall be located adjacent and to the side of the centerline of the access road way that the fire hydrant is located on. In case that there is no center line, then assume a centerline, and place the reflectors accordingly ACCESS AND FIRE FIGHTING WATER SUPPLY DURING CONSTRUCTION: Approved fire apparatus access roadways an fire fighting water supplies shall be installed an operational prior to any combustible construction or storage of combustible materials on the site. Washington County Department of Land Use and Transportation has reviewed the proposal and offered the following comments: 1. The minimum access spacing standard for SW Beef Bend Road is 600 feet, measured between access points on each side of the road as required by Resolution and Order 86-95 and Section 501-8.5.13 of the Community Development Code. Access to SW Beef Bend Road must therefore be restricted to meet this spacing standard. 2. According to the applicant's submittal, no access is proposed to SW Beef Bend Road. 3. Consistent with statewide pedestrian circulation/linkage goals of the Transportation Planning Rule and the County's R&O 86-95 (road safety requirements), the County normally requires sidewalk installation as a minimum road safety improvement along site frontage of all County- maintained roads. Sidewalks further establish future street profiles, demarcate County or City right-of-way, and addressed drainage issues. Sidewalk requirements are not generally waived, even when sidewalk is not currently present on neighboring properties. Rather, even non-contiguous sidewalk is considered to provide some measure of pedestrian refuge and ideally, makes possible eventual connection of sidewalks (as surrounding development takes place and is likewise conditioned to provide sidewalk). 4. Section 501-8.1.C. (of "Critical Services") of the Washington County Community Development Code requires provision of adequate drainage. 5. The statewide Transportation Planning Rule requires provision for adequate transportation facilities in order for development to occur. Accordingly, the County has classified roads and road segments within the County system based upon their function. The current Transportation Plan (regularly updated) contains adequate right-of-way, road width and lane provision standards based upon each roadway's classification. Subject right of way is considered deficient if half-width of the existing right-of-way does not meet that determined necessary within the County's current transportation plan. 6. Section 418-2.2 and 501-8.4 of the Washington County Community Development Code require dedication of additional right-of-way along site frontage of a County road when existing right-of- way is deficient. IMPORTANT: Road improvements required along site frontage shall apply to frontage of all land within the subject site that abuts the County roadway. The subject site s hall be considere-6to include: any lot or parcel to be partitioned or otherwise subdivided (regardless of whether it contains existing structures or not); and any contiguous lots or parcels that constitute phases of the currently proposed development. NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 32 OF 35 SUB2004-00022 -TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION If the applicant proposes to develop the project in phases, all County-required frontage improvements must be constructed with the first phase. In addition, off-site improvements warranted by the first phase must also be completed with the first phase. 1. PRIOR TO FINAL APPROVAL OF THE SUBDIVISION PLAT BY THE CITY OF TIGARD: A. Submit to Washington County Land Development Services (Public Assurance Staff, Tracy Stone/ Joy Chang, 846-3843): 1. Completed "Design Option" form. 2. $3,000.00 Administration Deposit. NOTE: Any portion of the Administration Deposit not used by Washington County for plan approval, field inspections, and contract administration WIT be returned to the applicant. If at any time during the project, the County's costs are higher than the amount deposited, Washington County will bill the applicant the amount needed to cover its costs. 3. A copy of the City's Land Use Approval with Conditions, signed and dated. 4. Two (2) sets of complete engineering plans for construction of the following public improvements: a. Half-street improvement to an A-8 County standard along all SW Beef Bend Road frontage. b. Closure of all existing driveways to SW Beef Bend Road. B. Obtain a Washington County Facility Permit upon completion of the following: 1. Obtain Engineering Division approval and provide a financial assurance for the construction of the public improvements listed in conditions NOTE: The Public Assurance staff (Tracy Stone/Jo Chan /Kimberly Hoyt 503- 846-3843) of Land Development Services wii send the required forms to the applicant's representative after submittal and approval of items listed under I.A., above. Please note that Washington County's "Facilit Permit" differs from an "Access Permit". An Access Hermit is tar less comprehensive in nature an the aci i y Permit and its associated submittal, review, and monitoring processes. Access Permits apply to non-complex land use cases in which the County requires limited or no improvements of the developer. (Access permits are commonly issued in cases requiring improvements as minimal as a single driveway cut to an existing house). This project is not currently eligible for an Access Permit. The Facility Permit allows construction work within County rights-of-way and permits site access only after the developer first submits plans and obtains Washington County Engineering approval, obtains required grading and erosion control permits, and satisfies various other requirements of Washington County's Assurances Department including but not limited to execution of financial and contractual agreements. This process ensures that the developer accepts responsibility for construction of public improvements, and that improvements are closely monitored, inspected, and built to standard in a timely manner C. The following shall be represented on the plat and recorded with Washington County (Contact Jamil Kamawal, Survey Division: 846-7932): NOTICE OF DECISION PAGE 33 OF 35 SUB2004-00022 -TREVOR RIDGE SUBDIVISION 1. Dedication of additional right-of-way to provide 45 feet from centerline of SW Beef Bend Road. 2. Provision of a non-access reservation along SW Beef Bend Road frontage. 11. PRIOR TO OCCUPANCY: A. The road improvements required in condition above shall be completed and accepted by Washington County. Requirements identified within this letter are considered by the County to be minimum warranted improvements (and/or analyses) that are necessitated by the proposed development, therefore it is requested that they be conveyed to the applicant within the City's Approval document.
