Tigard Planning Staff: re: Cowles Court. '
D. 1. Only a standard change from County to CitY Zoning. nand is E'
in the city.
2. Everything around it is residential. This is merely a change
from County to City Zoning.
3. The sewer and water is in front. Everything around it is
residential. I built houses on either side of this property
3.3 nearsv. Only reason it wasn't built on is it
by an older man who wanted the land to not be used.
4. No changes in environmental, etc. All services are available
in front of the property. The owner of the property died and
his estate sold it to Domreis.
5® No locations in City have any other benefits than this property.
6. A 37 home subdivision is across the street. so 6 more houes
will merely complete all the development of this area. It
will make it a complete neighborhood, and add to the overall
value of the neighborhood.
7. The six additional homes to be built on this site are a drop
in the bucket, and this merely rounds out the neighborhood,
instead of, leaving an overgrown blank area.
Dere lopes~s.

Staff: Howard, Selby
14INUTES of. the May 15th meeting were considered and corrected as follows:
Page 3, the last full paragraph, the duplication of the words "they are owned,
as Mr. Vail inferred, by developers; at the present time', is deleted. on
page a, first line, the name is "Krause" instead of "DrauseD1. On ,page 7, fifth
line should read in part: "that the applicant is properly Tualatin Development
Company..." Upon motion made and seconded, the minutes as corrected were approv-
ed unanimously.
Staff reported that COMMUNICATIONS will be considered later in the meeting.
The President asked if there has been any response to the request of. the City
Attorney in connection with whether other public agencies are subject to Tigard's
greenway ordinances. froward reported there has been none to 'date. The President
suggested this be followed up in writing with a request for a response by a cer-
tain date.
The President OPENED the public hearing by reading the usual notice referr-
ing to the ordinance giving authority for the procedure to be followed.
5.1 ZONE CHANGE ZC 12-79 (The Robert Randall Company) NPO #6
A request by the Robert Randall Company for a zone man amendment from
Wash. Co. RU-4 to City of Tigard R-7 "Single Family Residential" on a
3.89 acre parcel, located at 15230 S.W. 100th (:Dash. Co. Tax Map 2S1

Howard read the STAFF REPORT and RECOMMENDATION. Dave .Amato of Robert
Randall Company, the applicant, made the APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION. He stated
the application, sketches and related material covered the essential points. .
He asked a couple of questions relating to his future subdivision request, re-
sponded to by Staff.
There was no PUBLIC TESTIMONY.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION AND ACTION: Speaker raised questions about the apparent
discrepancy between the Findings of Fact No. 6 and Recommended Condition No. 1. .
Selby explained the sewer presently is owned by Tualatin Development Company and
eventually will be taken over by USP.. Should development occur before this happens,
the applicant would have to arrange with TDC for the sewer hookup. Speaker also

inquired when Sattler Street might be improved (as development occurs--there are
no plans for total improvement),- where the city limits are (this property is in,
property across the street is still County) , and whether 100th Avenue will con-
nect with the adjoining Summerfield street system (it will) .
Wood thereupon MOVETI approval of Zone Change ZC 12-79 based on Staff Find-
ings and r1ocommendations> The motion was seconded by Kolleas and passed unanim-
ously.
5.2 ZONE- CHANGE ZC 4-78 (Harley Adams) NPO #2
A request by City of Tigard for review of the Harley Adams zone change
Planned Development for a M-4 "Industrial Park" (approved on April 13,
1978) to determine its present status. The subject property is located
at the intersection of S.W. Katherine and 'Tigard Streets (Wash. Co. Tax
Map 2S1 2BB, Tax Lot 100).
Howard read the STAFF REPORT and REC0Mt4FNDATION and asked that the standard
"no changes" provision be added as a Recommendation.
There was no APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION nor PUBLIC TESTIMONY.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION; President Tepedino stated there was nothing in the
application which he felt justified a recommendation to the City Council that the
Planned Development designation for this property be continued. Therefore he
moved for denial, which failed for lack of a second. Smith inquired what contact
Staff had had with the applicant recently. Selby stated the applicant had come j
in prior to the expiration of April 13, 1978 action, and stated he had not been I
able to secure financing. He thereupon filed a letter requesting an extension of
the PA designation for another year. Selby explained an on-site review did not
indicate any adverse impact on the neighborhood if this PD designation were con-
tinued for another year.
Noodi MOVED for approval of continuation of zone Change ZC 4-78 for one year
from the expiration dates, basedon Staff Findings and Recommendations (including
the standard "no changes" provision). He explained in view of the Staff's repre-
sentations it is unlikely the Commission would rule differently on a new applica-
tion for the same project should this application be denied and a hearing held
on a new application. The motion was seconded by Bonn. In discussion Smith
favored a six-month extension. Tepedino reaffirmed opposition to any extension
on the basis of fairness to all other similar applicants. .wood asserted there is
no evidence conditions affecting the original application have changed to make the . .
Commission's action of April, 1978, inappropriate at this time. After some fur-
ther discussion the motion passed, with Tepedino voting no.

COMMISSION DISCUSSION AND ACTION: Speaker raised the question of avail--
ability of mower in the light of Condition No. 3 and the assertion in Findings of
Fact No. 6 that sewer service is available off S.W. Ash Street. Selby explained
that because of delays sometimes amounting 'to several months in sewer hookups,
Recommendation 3 was included to insure that adequate sewer capacity was indeed
available when the property was actually developed. Smith inquired as to the
ultimate configuration of the site development. Selby replied a subdivision k
application on the basis of a cul-de-sac is pending. i

kecommendations. Herron seconded, and the motion passed unwUmously.
5.4 ZONE CHANGE ZC 21--79 (Cambridge International Corp.) NPO #6
A request by Cambridge International Corp. for a zone map amendment and
preliminary plan and program. from R-7 "Single Family Residential" zone
to A-2 "Multifamily" (Condominium style) planned development on a 3.75
acre parcel at 11900 S. T. 98th Avenue (Wash. Co. Tax Map ISl 35CD, Tax
Lots 2200, 2300)
Howard read the STAFF FINDINGS and .RECOMM-NDATIONS, asking the addition of
Condition 6 the standard "no changes" provision.
The APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION was made b, Dale Rohl of Cambridge Interna-
tional Corp. of Milwaukle. He outlined the zoning, the individually-owned,
homeowner-association-maintained character of the development; the nature of
the neighborhood for which this would provide effective buffering; the accom-
panying improvement to the adjoining streets. He then displayed a preliminary
architectural rendering of the proposed development.
PUBLIC TESTIMONY in opposition was presented by the following:
Mabel Desdimoni questioned the lot reference, the future plans for Com-
mercial Street, and the nature of buffers, all responded to by Selby.
Mr. Doles, a resident of 98th Avenue, voiced concern about the traffic to
be generated on 98th, the legality of the lot size (which is in accordance. with' '
the Code for the area) , and the waning of "condominium-style" (responded to
later). Howard,explained that roads in this community are put in by developers,
ICENUTES

and therefore until surrounding property is developed, 98th would provide the
access to this development.
Less Riggins asked why the street cannot be improved prior to development, .
Tigard . „.f
explained again by Howard, who enlarged on the funding sources for streets t
and problems connected therewith. In response to a question, Staff explained
plans for the extension of Commercial Street as the property is developed. f
The President asked Mr. Rohl to explain the phrase i1condom1niuin;-sty1d". the
phrase, he thought, might be a misnomer. In discussion with and among the i
Commissioners it was brought out that what is conteraplated is 40 townhouses in
buildings containing from three to seven or eight units each, with common areas
owned and maintained by a townhouse association. in the sense that each house-
holder will own a lot only slightly larger than the ground on which his common-
wall unit is situated, it would be more accurate to call them simply townhouses. {
Mr. Rohl in REBUTTAL then responded to the various points voiced in opposi-
tion public testimony.
s
John Havery of Tigard inquired in general whether the developer of a, Plann-
ed Development approved for a density less than permitted by zoning could later
develop to the ma-zlmum density allowed by the zone. After some discussion the 1
answer was that he could do so only after another hearing before the Planning
Commission. it was observed by commissioner Smith this would most likely be a
very unprofitable move for the developer.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION: Smith raised the question of the distinction between
what is approved in the preliminary plan and program review, and the subsequent
general development plan and program. Selby stated the preliminary plan review
is concerned with (a) concept, and (b) density. The general plan is very specific
and includes such items as landscaping, drainage plans, building heights and
locations, exterior finish--all within the concept and density approved in the
preliminary plan.
Speaker objected to the mathematics as stated in' the Findings of Fact N0.4,
and raised the question of wilat open space was contemplated to be dedicated which
would justify all or part of the 20 percent density increase permitted for
dedication of open space. brood felt the intent of the ordinance in awarding of
up to a 20 percent density increase for dedication of open space did not apply here.
Smith MOVED for approval of Zone Change ZC 21-79 PD based on Staff Findings
and Recommendations, with the portion of Findings of Fact No. 4 beginning with the
words "Additional .20 may be permitted...."deleted, and with the inclusion as
Reco.:umended Condition 6 the standard "no changes" provision. Rolleas seconded, fl

service station in a M-3 "Light Industrial Zone" on .15 acre parcel at
16650 S.W. 72nd Avenue (Wash. Co. Tax Map 2S1 13A, Tax Lot 100) .

In the APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION, Paul Farrell of Salem simply requested I
approval of the conditional use permit, j
Under PUBLIC TESTIMONY, Paul :aiilita, representing Pacific Realty Trust,
owner of the property, e:Vlained only one of the 62 tenants in the industrial
park had their own fuel. supply; that many of the tenants were interested in the !
keylock fuel pump concept, which works well in other industrial parks.
John Havery of NPO #5 had questions about whether self-service fuel stations
are legal, and expressed the concern of NPO #5 over the safety of a self-service
gas station in the surroundings of the industrial complex. Wood questioned
whether NPO #5 had taken a formal stand on this matter. Mr. Havery stated no
meeting had been held, but that concern over the safety aspects of a self--service
station was expressed in conversations with NPO #5 members.
COMMISSION DISCUSSION AND ACTION: Questions by Commissioner Y-.olleas
developed these facts on. the facility: that the approval of the Fire Protection )
District people had been secured before application was made to the City; that
there are four-hour fire walls protecting nearby buildings, and fire protection ( ;
equipuent on site and sumps for spillage; there will be a .12,000 gallon steel
underground tank for diesel fuel; that included will be the new vapor recovery
systems for the hose-to-truck connection.
Smith asked if the facility would be used also by employees. It was point-
ed out that regular and unleasded gasoline, and diesel fuel would be available
to whoever had one of the 90 keys. -

they
who stated he had picked up the Staff Report on Monday k o . r.

pear before the Commission at a later date when they would be prepared. The Pre-
sident ascertained from Staff that the schedule would per�u t another appearance on }
July 17.
There was no PUBLIC TESTIMONY.
COMMIS DISCUSSION AND ACTION: There followed a wide-pranging discussion
of various aspects of the request. Smith received confirmation that the present
fill is illegal, and stated he felt there was wholly inadequate informat n sub-
mitted with this application to arrive at an intelligent decision. He s
ifical
ly mentioned detailed topographic maps for the project. Bonn wanted more inform-
tion on topography and water levels. Speaker expressed concern for imoedence of
the flow because of the present fill, which applicant`s engineer has stated would.

Tepedi.no severely cri+.icized the applicant for filling the floodplain
of the import of the city ordinances to the con-
illegally, even after knowledge

of the effect of this case as a precedent in future floodplain cases; and felt
the City should, through the City Attorney, require the applicant to remove all

Wood asked for a response from the applicant as to what filling was done with
what knowledge of the City ordinances- Mr. Smith stated the area was a fill area
used over the last 20 years, even by the City. 07en his firm was retained he cal-
led attention to the owner he was in violation of the floodplain ordinance., and
accordingly filling was halted. Ilood felt three periods of fill had occur and
