Dear Aldie:
The following is in response to your letter of March 18, 1980, concerning
your proposal to amend the Tigard/Washington County Urban Planning Area
Agreement.
Specifically your propose to replace Special Policy D:
"The COUNTY will not approve a land use proposal in the Urban
Planning Area if the CITY presents evidence to show that the
proposal would not facilitate an urban level of development in
the future upon annexation to the CITY."
Your letter indicates you wish to replace Special Policy D with:
"The COUNTY will not approve a land use proposal within the Urban
Planning Area unless the proposal is in conformance with the Tigard
Comprehensive Plan."
The County can see several potential problems with your proposal
As th, UPAA clearly states, the county will consider adoption of the City
Comprehensive Plan designations for those areas under the county's jurisdiction
within the Urban Planning Area. Likewise the UPAA clearly states the City
of Tigard will have the opportunity to review certain specified proposed land
use actions prior to county action.
E
The county can anticipate that the only time your proposed amendment would be $
truly operative is during the time prior to county adoption of the City i
Comprehensive Plan designations. After adoption of the city plan. designations,
there should be no potential for provisions of land uses which may be in
conflict with the city plan designations.

Your proposal seems to attempt to put the onus of interpreting and implementing '
the city plan in areas where the county has no existing legal ability to
accomplish such a task. Your proposal seems to indicate you wish the county
to interpret and implement not only the City Plan designations, but also city
policy dictates. This clearly goes beyond the county's existing legislative
ability because the City's Plan and its land use designations currently have
no legal status for those areas outside of Tigard's existing city limits for
which the county has jurisdictions. Additional, I feel that it would be
inapporpriate for county staff to make judgments concerning city planning
polir.y as it may be contained in the City Comprehensive Plan. Likewise, i
feel that the UPAA as presently constituted, provides the City of Tigard an
excellent ability to comment on land use actions under the county's jurisdiction
prior to county action. This ability to comment allows the city an opportunity
to interpret existing city policy from the city's point of view and provide
comment prior to county action.
I understand the intent of your proposal. Unfortunately, I do not agree with
the proposed amendment for the reasons stated above.` The intent of your
proposal can be ecurin 'urisdiction of the subject property
t rou h annexation. Short of annexation, i believe the contents of the existing
AA optimize the City of Tigard's ability to participate in land use actions
which have jurisdiction as part of the unincorporated portion of Washington
County.
i
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on your proposal. in the future, we
would appreciate more time to comment on City of Tigard proposals such as the
subject proposal. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please
call Brent Curtis, Senior Planner.

Re: Ventura Court Subdivision, North Dakota Street, Tigard
(1S1 - 34DA, Lot 200)
Dear Mr. Frazier:
In the course of reviewing recent annexations along both sides of North Dakota
Street in Tigard, it has, come to our attention that the Washington County
Planning Department has approved a preliminary plat for Ventura Court Subdivision,
located on a 2 acre parcel which is now "islanded" by the City of Tigard. Since
this subdivision is within Tigard Is.Comprehensive Plan area-and could now be
annexed to the City administratively, we have a vested interest in its develop-
meat.
L.
Because this subdivision will be part of the City of Tigard sooner or later, we
wish to object strongly to the preliminary plat of Ventura Court as proposed for
the following reasons.
'r
1. Lotting Pattern
The lotting pattern attemps to squeeze 8 lots into as little space as
possible. The average lot size is 4902 sq. ft., which is sub-standard
according to the Tigard Zoning Code for single-family attached use
(5,000 sq. ft. per unit). Lots 3 and 6 are narrow and L-shaped, which
may be impractical for common driveways and attached housing.
2. Private Street
The proposed 24 ft. private street to serve 8 dwelling units is grossly
substandard for a local street. it is objectionable from a safety stand- t
point, since it is a deadend with no turnaround for emergency vehicles.
Parking on this street would further impair the access for residents or
emergency vehicles. {{
i
3. Use of the Flood Plain G
Substantial portions of lots 4, 5, and 6 are within the flood plain,
including areas that would appear to be needed for dwelling units. The
proposed use of TRACT B, the North k of the site, is "Storm Drain Purposes."

If this is common ownership open space, how will lots 1,2,7 and 8 have
access to it? The adjoining property to East (1S1-34DA, Lot 100) is
presently under review by the City for a 20 lot Planned Development for
single family attached. The property owner will dedicate the Flood
Plain portion of this tract to the City for greenway purposes. We feel
that Ventura Court's use of the Flood Plain is insensitive and not
Coordinated.with Tigard's Environmental Design and Open Space Plan or
Sensitive Lands Ordinance.
4. Leel Discrepancy in Lot Lines
The legal descriptions for lots (1S1-34DA) 200 (Ventura Court) and 100
to the East disagree on a 6.3 ft. strip on the East line of lot 200.
Ventura Court was platted at a 170 ft. width, but if it is legally only
163.7 £t. wide, this reduces the lot sizes even further and creates
legal problems foi future owners of those lots.
In summary, we hope you will.withhold any further approvals of the present plat
because it puts too many lots on too little buildable space, violates the
Flood Plain and good site design principles, creates an unsafe and inadequate
street access, and may be legally clouded.
We are concerned that this subdivision should not be allowed to develop as
proposed and we will soon be proposing an administrative annexation of this
site to the Tigard City Council. in the meantime, your cooperation in the review
of the subdivision, we can jointly assure that Washington County does not create
a future liability for the City of Tigard and the future residents of Ventura
Court.
Sincerely,
jq,l6Aa^J 77.
