CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
There are no conditions of approval associated with this decision.
THIS APPROVAL SHALL BE VALID FOR 18 MONTHS
FROM THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS DECISION.
SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Site History:
The subject site is lot 8 of 'the Whistler's Walk Subdivision. No other land-use cases are
associated with this parcel.
Site Information and Proposal Description:
The applicant has requested an adjustment to the front yard setback to reduce the setback
from 20 feet to 15 feet to accommodate construction.
SECTION IV. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
DEVELOPMENT ADJUSTMENTS:
Section 18.370.020.B.1.a provides that up to a 25% reduction of the dimensional
standards for the front yard setbacks required in the base zone may be approved as a
Type I Development Adjustment. Section 18.370.020:8.2, Approval Criteria, provides that
a development adjustment shall be granted if there is a demonstration of compliance
with all of the applicable standards:
A demonstration that the adjustment requested is the least required to achieve the
desired effect;
According to the applicant, the earnest money agreement regarding the sale of the home was
entered into by the applicant and homebuyer on the presumption that the front yard setback
to the house was the same 15 feet as in other subdivisions. Pushing the home back in order
to meet the required 20-foot setback will decrease the size of the backyards and may cause
homebuyers not to proceed with the purchase of the home.. The only portion of the proposed
home that will be at the 15-foot setback will be the front porch. The habitable portion of the
main residence will meet the underlying setback requirement.. Allowing the reduction for the
front porch to be closer to the front lot line achieves pedestrian friendly development, which is
an important aspect of neighborhood livability.
The adjustment will result in the preservation of trees, if trees are present in the
development area;
Granting the adjustment will remove the house footprint from a cut bank that contains a tree
preservation area. Therefore, this criterion has been met.
NOTICE OF TYPE I DECISION VAR2003-00082= WHISTLERS FRONT YARD SETBACK ADJUSTMENT #26 PAGE 2 OF 3
The adjustment will not impede adequate emergency access to the site.
The request is for a front yard setback adjustment. Access to the home will remain
unchanged. Therefore, emergency access to the site will not be impeded.
There is not a reasonable alternative to the adjustment, which achieves the desired
effect.
An alternative to granting the adjustment to the front yard setback would be constructing the
home further back on the lot. However, the combination of preserving trees and the signing
of earnest money agreements by future home owners, the adjustment is the most reasonable
solution. Without the adjustment, the applicant may have to void the earnest money
agreements which may cause the loss of current sales. Therefore, this standard has been
satisfied.
FINDING: Based on the analysis above, Staff finds that the development adjustment
criteria are satisfied.
SECTION V. PROCEDURE AND APPEAL INFORMATION
A front yard setback Adjustment is a Type I procedure. As such, the Director's decision is
final on the date it is mailed or otherwise provided to the applicant, whichever occurs first.
The Director's decision may not be appealed locally and is the final decision of the City.
THIS DECISION IS FINAL ON AUGUST 6, 2003,
AND BECOMES EFFECTIVE ON AUGUST 7, 2003.
Questions:
If you have any questions, please call the City of Tigard Planning Division, Tigard City Hall,

Type 1 Adjustment Application
RE:
The following includes the Applicant's statement:
According to section 18.370.020 B. Development adjustments 1. Sub point a. the Front
yard setbacks can be reduced up to 25%.
2. The Approval criteria shall be granted if there is a demonstration of compliance with
all of the applicable standards:
a. A demonstration that the adjustment requested is the least required to achieve the
desired effect.
Comments: The Earnest Money Agreement was entered into by the Applicant and
Homebuyer on the presumption that the Front Yard Setback to the house was the same 15
feet as in our other subdivisions in Tigard. Pushing these homes back will decrease the
size of the backyards and may cause homebuyers not to proceed with the purchase of the
home. We are only looking for an adjustment on the lots that we have sold the homes
with the presumption of a 15' setback, and on two lots that are not deep enough for our
standard home to fit
b. The adjustment will result in the preservation of trees, if trees are present in the
development area:
Comments: Granting the variance will remove the house footprint from a "cut bank" that
contains a tree preservation zone.
c. The adjustment will not impede adequate emergency access to the site.
Comments: This can only help the access to the site by allowing the home to be 5' closer
to the street.
d. There is not a reasonable alternative to the adjustment which achieves the desired
effect.
Comments: Applicant met with staff, who consulted with the Director of Planning and it
was agreed that the Type 1 Adjustment was the best course of action. Without approval
of the Adjustment, we may have to void the Earnest Money Agreement which will
certainly cause the loss of a number of current home sales.
