Dear Steve:
This letter is in response to your request for Minor Modification (MMD2002- 00030) approval to
place a 300 SF shelter and two play structures in Woodard Park. All work is to be located outside
of the 100 year flood plain. The base flood elevation is between 156 and 157 feet in elevation.
The park is identified as the following parcel: WCTM 2S102BB, Tax Lot 00600
The Tigard Community Development Code, Site Development Review Section, states; "if the
requested modification meets any of the major modification criteria, that the request shall be
reviewed as a new Site Development Review application."
Section 18.360.050(B) states that the Director shall determine that a major modification(s) has
resulted if one (1) or more of the changes listed below have been proposed:
1. An increase in dwelling unit density or lot coverage for residential development.
The proposal does not involve residential property. Therefore, this standard does not
apply.
2. A change in the ratio or number of different types of dwelling units. This criterion is
not applicable, as this request does not involve a residential development.
3. A change that requires additional on -site parking in accordance with Chapter
18.765. There are no specific parking requirements identified for open space and parks.
These structures were identified in the Woodard' Park Master Plan that has been
approved by the Tigard City Council, and the parking established in that plan considered
these structures.
4. A change in the type of commercial or industrial structures as defined by the
Uniform Building Code. No change in the structural occupancy type of any building is
proposed. Therefore, this criterion is not applicable.
5. An increase in the height of the building(s) by more than 20 percent. The structures
are new, and will be required to meet the height requirements of the. district. This
criterion is not applicable at this time.
6. A change in the type and location of accessways and parking areas where off -site
traffic would be affected. This request will not require a change in accessways or
parking areas where off -site traffic would be affected. Therefore, this criterion does not
apply.

7. An increase - -in vehicular traffic to and— from— the - -site and the - increase. can - -be-
expected to exceed 100 vehicles per day. This modification will not generate more
than 100 vehicular trips per day. Therefore, this criterion does not apply.
8. An increase in the floor areas proposed for a non - residential use by more than ten
percent excluding expansions under 5,000 square feet. The proposal calls for the
addition of a 300 square foot shelter and two playground areas. The addition is less than
5,000 square feet. Therefore, this standard is met.
9. A reduction in the area reserved for common open space and /or usable open
space that reduces the open space area below the minimum required by the code
or reduces the open space areas by more than ten percent. The modification will not
affect landscaping or open space.
10. A reduction of project amenities (recreational facilities, screening; and /or,
landscaping provisions) below the minimum established by the code or by more
than ten percent where specified in the site plan. The addition will increase the
number of project amenities available at Woodard Park. This Criterion is satisfied.
11. A modification to the conditions imposed at the time of Site Development Review
approval that is not the subject of criteria (B). 1 through 10 above. The modification
will not impact any of the conditions of approval. There were no conditions imposed
when the Tigard City Council adopted the master plan for this site. This criterion is not
applicable.
THIS REQUEST HAS BEEN APPROVED. PLEASE SUBMIT A COPY OF THIS LETTER WITH
YOUR PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT.
This request is determined to be a minor modification to an existing site. The Director's designee
has determined that the proposed minor modification of this existing site will continue to promote
the general welfare of the City and will not be significantly detrimental, nor injurious to surrounding
properties provided that, development which occurs after this decision complies with all applicable
local, state, and federal laws.
If you need additional information or have any questions, please feel free to call me at
