INTRODUCTION r" memo t 1 PURPOSE OF THE PLAN. The Tigard Park Plan was authorized by the City Council in August 1986 and was administered by the Tigard Planning Department and Tigard Park Board. When adopted by the City Council, the Park Plan will be an additional component of the City's comprehensive plan. The City of Tigard is projected to accommodate a population of approximately 40,000 residents by the year 2000, representing an increase of 100 percent of the existing population in 1987 (see Figure 1-1). To meet the recreational demands generated by these new residents, a full range of facilities, parks, and programs will have to be provided. The main purpose of the Park Plan is to serve as a guide and provide recommendations that the City of Tigard can use in providing parks and recreational facilities for the next 10 years or until the year 2000. The plan includes: 1) ar, analysis of existing and projected park and facility demands; 2) lists of goals, objectives, and project proposals for individual parks; 3) a description of potential system-wide opportunities and actions; and 4) strategies for development. Because it is a long—range planning document, the Park Plan is designed to provide a firm basis for the City's decisions and plans while allowing flexibility in its applications. The goals and objectives outlined in the plan address specific issues but are broad enough to allow a range of project proposals. At the same time, the Park Plan should be reviewed and revised periodically to reflect changing conditions and circumstances. Objectives may be revised or updated and amendments may occur to ensure its usefulness as a planning guide. Supporting information, such as use statistics, should also be updated often to ensure that the public's recreational needs are accurately defined. 40.000 / i 030.000-- ,P a 20.000 1986 1983 Q 10.000 -� 1980 1970 198p0 1990 2000 YEAR Actual and Projected Po elation Growth, City of Tigard 1960-2000 -1- GENERAL GOALS The basic functio-i and purpose of the Tigard Parks System is based on three goals and provides the foundation for a comprehensive paries system. The goals provide the basis for future decisirns by the City concerning park and recreational opportunities and to satisfy the recreational needs of the citizens of Tigard. The goals are: o To provide a balanced range of park lands and facilities to meet the public's needs for passive and active recreation, and serve the aesthetic needs of all City residents. o To preserve, protect and enhance plant, wildlife and fish areas and habitats; water areas; wetlands; and other unique and natural areas for the recreational enjoyment of the general public. U To provide safe and convenient access throughout the community, connecting parks, schools, neighborhoods, and other public areas. i crvm-viw OF TETE CITY DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY AREA The study area for the plan is generally defined by the urban growth boundary for the City of Tigard (see Figure 2-1). This boundary was, however, modified to reflect future growth areas. Major geographic features within this area include the Tualatin River, Fanno and Summer Creeks, Bull Mountain, Little Bull Mountain, the I-5 Freeway, Highway 217 and Highway 99W. The city is located within the juridiction of Washington County. 'WO T a awe o`• 'I-I ME. N4C UNT N °n i ROCIR 3 rimer 9 - FA NO.

Parks, greenways, open space, schools, recreational facilities, natural areas and historical/cultural resources all work together to provide a collection of varied opportunities for the City's residents. The following section identifies the major recreational resources in the City and briefly discusses their contribution to recreation in Tigard. PARKS Parks offer developed areas such as ball fields, pathways and large open areas, in which people can participate in a variety of active and passive activities. The emphasis of parks is generally on development of a range of areas and facilities to accommodate public activities. The level of development and planned uses depend on the park type, its size, population served, proximity to other parks, natural features and topography. Within the study area there are over 200 acres of public land for recreational use. Of this total, 56% or 116.07 acres are designated as parks. The nine parks in this system are divided into four types, depending on their location, features, and number of people they serve. The four park types which currently serve the City of Tigard are described in the following section along with brief descriptions of existing parks within each category. Mini Parks are designed to serve a specialized area or purpose with a limited range of facilities. They also provide landscaped areas in the commercial core of the City. The size of mini parks can vary, though it is generally at the lower end, from a residential lot or smaller up to 2 acres. As a result, facilities most likely focus on a specific purpose depending on the site conditions and the recreational needs of the surrounding residents. Three mini-parks are located in the City of Tigard: Ye old Windmill, Main and Liberty. Ye Old Windmill serves more as a historic site than a park and contains the restored Wood-Christensen farm windmill. Main and Liberty Parks are located in the downtown area and serve as passive recreation areas and landscaped sites, providing an entrance into downtown. Neighborhood Parks are intended to provide a focus for social and rec9-eational activities in residential areas, and should be easily accessible by foot or bicycle. Within these parks are areas and facilities that allow a variety of informal recreational activities that are consistent with the character and needs of the neighborhood. The emphasis is on providing the day-today recreation opportunities such as pleasure walking, recrewtional bicycling, using play equipment, and informal ball games. Tigard has three neighborhood parks, all located in the northern section of the city. Woodard Park is the smallest of these parks and contains some play equipment, picnic facilities and paths. Jack Park is completely developed with a large open area, paths, some play equipment, and a basketball court. Englewood Park is the largest park of this type and is actually divided into two parks at this time. It also is developed and contains several play areas, large open areas, and pathway;- -5- Community Parks serve a larger populatiun than do neighborhood parks and, consequently, provide a greater variety of facilities and recreational opportunities such as tennis courts, community centers and large natural areas. Because of their relatively larger acreages, community parks can accommodate these facilities and activities but require extensive buffering to reduce noise and visual impacts. Two community parks are located in the City of Tigard. Summer Lake Park is partially developed with play equipment, paths and picnic areas surrounding a large lake filled with ducks and geese. Once additional land is acquired, proposed plans include a ballfield, a sport court, tennis courts, a community center, and various other facilities. Fanno Creek Park is located adjacent to downtown Tigard and at present is only partially developed with paths and picnic areas. Much of the park will remain in its natural state and will provide neighborhood residents, and visitors to the downtown area, Civic Center and Senior Center with a pleasurable passive recreation experience. Large Urban Parks are intended to provide a focus for the City's recreational needs and activities. Because of such large amounts of land available, diverse passive and active recreational activities are possible. Within these parks it is possible to provide the space and facilities needed for tournament play, as well as for large company picnics. A large portion, of these parks can also be retained in their natural state, and contain nature trails. Cook Park is the only park of this type within the City. It offers the most facilities of any park in the City and, based on a community survey, receives the highest use among the City's recreational attractions. It includes natural and developed areas, ball fields, play equipment, river front facilities, a basketball court., soccer fields, picnic areas, covered shelters, horseshoe pits and large open areas Detailed descriptions of the four park types, including design and location criteria, are found in Appendix A. GREENWAYS Greenways occur within the City as linear recreational corridors which are riparian areas of the Tualatin River, certain creeks and natural drainage swales (these corridors are presently identified in the Tigard Comprehensive Plan). They include both developed greenways with paved pathways, and undeveloped natural areas in which pathways will be constructed in the future. Of the City's total recreational land, 91.69 acres or 44 percent are classified as greenway areas. Approximately 25 percent of the greenway total is developed and occurs in the Copper Creek/Picks Landing Greenway, Black Bull/Windsor Place Greenway, and Genesis/Exodus Greenway. Once the remaining land in the proposed Greenway Park System is acquired through dedications or easements, the greenways will total several hundred acres and will link parks, schools, neighborhoods, and other public areas. SCHOOLS Elementary, junior high and high schools are recreational resources because many have fields that can be used %y the public. Schools also have a great potential to be used as recreational centers for evening and weekend classes and activities. Presently, joint operating agreements between the Tigard School District and local sports organizations offer another opportunity for the use of public facilities. FACILITIES _ Physical facilities help to meet much of the denand for specific and specialized recreational activities. They range from aikeways to balifields, and can either focus on a single use as in tennis courts or emphasize multiple uses such as a sport court and practice wall combined, a multi—use sports field, or the many uses of a community center. Detailed inventories of all facilities can be found in Appendix B. Public Most of the City's outdoor recreational facilities are now concentrated in Cook Park. The park includes balifields, shelters, soccer fields, basketball court, river front facilities, and play equipment. Play equipment is also available at Englewood, Jack, Woodard and Summer Lake parks. As expected, all elementary schools provide play equipment also. Sports fields are provided almost exclusively by the schools, with cook Park as the only City owned land with two ballfields. Approximately 18 public ball fields or general purpose sports fields are located throughout the City. The school district also provides the five baseball fields located in the City. Only two of the City's 13 soccer fields are located in City parks. Basketball courts are provided at two parks and all schools. Cook and Jack parks each have one outdoor full court. Every school, except Fowler Junior High, has outdoor basketball hoops, many with half court, some with full court. All schools have indoor full courts in a gymnasium, many with two full courts. if Tennis courts are found only at Twality and Fowler Junior High Schools and Tigard High School. There are no tennis courts in the parks at this time. Shelters, cooking facilities, and restrooms are provided at Cook Park, and picnic tables are provided at Cook, Fanno Creek, Summer Lake, and Woodard parks. Other assorted facilities such as horseshoe pits, volleyball courts are provided in the parks and schools. Also the only swimming pool Tigard is located at Tigard High School. Quasi—Public Many quasi-public facilities are provided primarily through Tigard area churches. These facilities include ball fields, play equipment, open spaces, basketball and gymnasiums. Other recreational resources include Tigard Lanes bowling alley, Orian's Gym and Health Habit health clubs, Summerfield golf course, and several gymnastic/fitness clubs. Private There are essentially no private recreation or park resources it the City of Tigard. Within a five mile radius of Tigard there are numerous private facilities ranging from golf country clubs and tennis clubs, to health clubs. 4' F.

HISTORIC SITES HisSites can be considered recreational resources because of their potential to expand thQ cultural opportunities for citizens. These sites can serve as individual attractions in themselves or they can serve as a special ch as Windmill Park. The eight structures as facility within a park. su identified in the City's comprehensive plan are Durham Elementry School, the John F. Tigard House, the Wood/Christensen Windmill (Windmill Park), rd Grange, the Tigard Upshaw House/Seven Gables, the Toy Theater, the Tiga Street Farmhouse and Windmill, and the Tigard Feed and Seed Store. Durham owned by the Tigard School District and the Wood/Christensen School is School ill by the City, while the remaining sites are privately owned. The sently owned by the Tigard Area Historical and John F. Tigard House is pre Preservation Association and is in the process of restoration.

PARK STANDARDS The standards for the City of Tigard were developed from information, as well as technical guidance, obtained from the Tigard Comprehensive Plan (1903), National Recreation and Parks Association standards and guidelines (1983), the Oregon Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP)(1983), demographic data, and information from resource inventories, needs assessment, etc. Park standards are primarily a guideline for determining land requi rQments and minimum acceptable facilities for various kinds of park and recreation areas. In this respect, standards are then more often used as a tool to determine park deficiencies rather than park adequacy. Park standards can be used as a means to justify the need for parks and open space within the overall land-use pattern of a community. They can also serve as a basis on which decisions regarding park projects can be made. It should be emphasized that these represent guidelines only and should be considered along with other relevant factors. The overall desirable level set by these standards is 10 acres per 1000 people, which is approximately the present level provided within the City. In combination, these standards constitute an ideal park system. Detailed descriptions of the City of Tigard°s park standards including design and location criteria, are found in Appendix A. A detailed description of the National Recreation and Park Association standards for recreation areas and activities which includes minimum to optimum guidelines is also helpful for future planning of recreational areas from a national viewpoint. Comparing facility guidelines with the present population of the City and to the projected population rate can help identify facility deficiencies and plan future park projects accordingly. The park acreage standards are set for lands available to the general public, and owned or otherwise controlled by the City or a cooperating public agency. They do not include: 1. Public School property (not available for active recreation). 2. Special areas (pathways, cemeteries, and golf courses). 3. Private or voluntary agency lands and facilities. 4. Vacant undeveloped land not under ownership or control of the City. The City of Tigard is primarily concerned with neighborhood, community and large urban parks and following the standards for these parks to meet the future needs of the projected population. Mini parks have the lowest development priority mainly due to the lack of space available to accommodate recreational facilities an area may need and the high cost of maintaining these parks. Highest priority is given to large- parks, such as community parks, which benefit a greater number of local residents. t POPULATION GROWTH AND CHARACTERISTICS Like other cities in the region, Tigard began as a farming community and is now developing into an urban center. Although the City has been settled for over a century, most of its population growth has occurred in the past twenty—five years. The first signs of growth began to appear in the early 1960's. The population of Tigard more than quadrupled between the time Tigard was incorporated in 1961 and 1970. (1961: 1,084 and 1970: 5,302). During the time period from 1970 to 1980, Tigard experienced even greater growth, as the population raised to 14,286. As of December 1986, Tigard's official population count was 20,765, and has grown by over 212% since 1970. Projections for the City of Tigard point to a year 2000 population of approximately 40,000 residents, which includes the Metzger area. Areas which may experience the greatest population growth appear to be Bull Mountain and its northern foothills, South Tigard in the Durham Road/Pacific Highway area, and Southeast Tigard in the area west of Fanno Creek to the area surrounding Hall Boulevard. Aside from growth in the number of residents, is the increase in the number of persons aged 65 and older in the South Tigard area. This shift has been occurring since the early 1970'x, coinciding with the development of Summerfield Retirement Village and influenced by neighboring King City. The Tigard School District expects a growth of 2% per year, with the greatest growth potential in the Bull Mountain and Scholls Ferry Road areas.

Three different groups were chosen for distribution of the survey, to ensure a variety of responses from a wide range of City residents. Seven special iiterest groups were chosen for their community involvement: Tigard Kiwanis, American Legion Post 158, Tigard Jaycees, Tigard Basketball Association, City Basketball League, Girl Scout Leaders, and Boy Scout Troup 799 leaders ind parents. Fowler and Twality Junior High Schools and Tigard High school Jere contacted for response from youth in seventh to twelfth grade. The survcy was also mailed to all Tigard households in the City newsletter "All About Town." The park profile that follows is based on the results of the survey. For a detailed tabulation of the park survey, see Appendix C. The main findings generated by the survey are: o Cook Park is the most popular park location. o Picnics, sports, use of the play equipment, and leisure activities, such as relaxing and enjoying nature, are the most popular activities at Cook Park. o Lack of awareness of other parks or locations is a common re=ason for not using the parks. o Maintenance of parks is very important to park users. Characteristics of Park Use or Non—Use Survey results indicate a relatively high use of park use by Tigard residents. Over 80 percent of those who responded to the survey indicated using Tigard City Parks, Of the possible reasons for not using City parks, most respondents (18%) cited lack of time for not going to the park. It should be noted that 77 percent of those uho stated this response were students. The second most frequent response (15%) stated they didn't know where the parks were located or that there were any parks. Another response (13%) cited problems such as harassment, drug dealing, too many kids in cars, fear, etc., for staying away from the City parks. Other reasons included not using the parks yet (11%), lack of facilities or "nothing to do" (10% and all student respondents), new to area (7%), or too far from home (7%). Other explanations were noted by approximately 20 percent of respondents, most stating the lack of certain facilities as the main factor for not visiting the parks. No Time 1B E4 Lack o!

Over 70 percent of survey respondents indicated using the park. The second most frequent response concerned parks outside of the City of Tigard as used most often (11%). All of these responses were made by youth who listed Tualatin Community Park, most likely due tc the fact they resided in the City of Tualatin. (The Tigard School District includes residents of Tualatin.) None of the mini parks were noted as preferred 'locations possible because only one is located in a neighborhood but does not contain any facilities. Cook Park was used most often because of the numerous facilities offered to many different types of people. Activities range from organized sports to en.oying nature. Other parks in the City have limited facilities and is mostly likely the reason why most residents would choose to use Cook Park or other parks outside the City, rather than the park closest to their home.

The most frequently cited improvement involved play equipment, either more facilities or improving and/or upgrading the present equipment. Better maintenance involving the park grounds and facilities (i.e. restrooms and lawn areas) is stated as a desired addition to the park, as well as the most common complaint of Cook Park. Trails and paths throughout the park and along the river are requested by many respondents. Numerous sports facilities are desired by many —ty residents (i.e. tennis courts, ballfields), including a swimming pool, preferably an outdoor pool. This is a common response even though a public pool is located approximately a half—mile away at Tigard High School. Additional facilities or improvements to the other parks included various sports facilities, particularly basketball courts. Many respondents would like to see picnic facilities in their park as well as more or improved play equipment. The addition or improvement of paths is a coi;;mon response concerning many of the parks. 4 ISSUES x 1 CITY-WIDE ISSUES There are major issues that affect parks in Tigard. These issues were identified through an analysis of the existing park system, the characteristics of the existing population, and the future requirements for parks based on population growth. Solutions and plans to address these issues are provided in the next chapter. Although the parks system of Tigard is a combination of land, facilities, and people, the problems and opportunities of the system can be grouped into five general issues identified below: 1. LandAcquisition The Population of the study area is growing and Development: steacily, and as a result there will be a deficiency of parkland and facilities to meet the needs of the future population. The distribution of parks and facilities is uneven, providing no parks in some neighborhoods. Access for park use becomes even more important as growth occurs. 2. Financial: There is a lack of adequate funding to acquire and develop needed parkland, and for further development of existing parkland. A new financial program has to be developed if the City is to meet the park needs of the community. ? 3. Public Awareness There is a need for greater public awareness and Involvement: of the parks and facilities in Tigard. There should be more opportunities for citizen involvement in the park planning process, development, and maintenance. q. Maintenance: There is a need for an extended program for maintenance and improvements of parkland pknd facilities. 5. Joint Use gareements: Improved coordination between public agencies and the City on the use of public lands would increase the opportunities for the public to gain new park land or make better use of existing public land and facilities. 3 Park Distribution and Access The distribution of the City's parks and recreational facilities is uneven. Most of the City's parks ana facilities are presently concentrated in the northern and northwestern neighborhoods of Tigard with the exception of Cook Park in South Tigard. Other than a small variety of facilities in the northern areas and at the schools, most public recreational facilities are found at Cook Park. The newer residential areas of Central, East and West Tigard, and the older areas of South Tigard are deficient in neighborhr..od parks. Residents in these areas cannot walk to a local park. With an uneven distribution, the need for adequate access between parks and neighborhoods is especially important. Residents in areas without adequate recreational facilities should be able to depend on a system of pedestrian/bicycle paths to connect their neighborhoods with schools and other public areas; and eventually with parks in their own areas as distribution is equalized. In some parts of the City, access to recreational areas is often disjointed or restricted. For instance, access to the developed portion of Summer Lake Park is presently limited to paths from the Summer Lake subdivision and a path from Tony Court off of SW North Dakota Street. Until further development is completed, access is difficult for residents to the west and south of the park. The same is true for residents to the southwest of Fanno Creek Park in the downtown area, where easy access is not available except to - small neighborhood adjacent to the park. Because both of these parks are classified as community parks, easy access must be made available to the larger population they serve. Until more of the Greenway pedestrian/bicycle paths are complete, access throughout the City in a convenient, enjoyable and safe manner cannot be made. Major obstacles to this system involve construction of the pathways through ;harsh areas and major road crossings. 2. FINANCIAL New opportunities for future park funding must be found. Unless these new funding sources are found, the amount of parkland and the extent . of recreational facilities will not keep pace with population growth. Funds for Tigard Parks System operations currently are derived from the General Fund. Because 38 percent of General Fund monies are generated through taxes, the financial health of the fund is sensitive to local economic conditions. Revenue from the Parks System Development Fees, assessed on all new residential developments in the City, is used for park acquisition, expansion and development. The development fee, at its current rate, cannot provide the funds necessary to acquire or develop adequate park acreage for Tigard's future population. Federal programs to fund recreation are very limited due to current Federal policies seeking to reduce Federal funds provided to state and local government. The Land and Water Conservation Fund, which has previously been used by cities to acquire and develop parkland, has been drastically reduced. { Other grant programs have been either severely curtailed or eliminated. E —lr- Finding other potential funding sources of achieving the park needs of the community is very important at this time. Some methods for fulfilling these i needs are: joint use agreements, developer dedications and density transfers, private contributions, facility revenue, a parks acquisition and development bond, and other available funding services. Joint use ag ements: Agreements between public agencies and the City on the joint use of facilities and surplus lands to supplement recreational needs. Developer dedications and density transfers: Conditions of development, requiring a portion of all developments to be dedicated as parks and open space by transferring density from one part of a project to another. means for citizens or organizations to Private contributions: Provide a donate land, facilities, or money, such as through a parks foundation or trust fund, gift catalog, etc. Neighborhood volunteer programs may be used to help maintain and build park facilities. Facility revenues: Develop additional opportunities of increasing revenue, such as a rental center for canoes anL.!or boats on the Tualatin River or a sports complex. Parks acquisition and development bond issue or serial levy: A bond or levy would allow, land to be acquired immediately in anticipation of population growth while the land prices are relatively low, and complete devalopment of existing parks to benefit the public now. other funding sources: Explore available grants such as the State Historic Preservation Grant, State Grant—In—Rid program, National Endowment for the Arts Grants, and other private grant sources, 3, PUBLIC AWARENESS AND INVOLVEMENT There is a need for greater public awareness of Tigard parks and facilities. Many people are not aware of the numkter of parks available in Tigard or the facilities provided. This may be due, in part, to the poor visibility of some City parks and to an insufficient amount of information about park facilities and opportunities. Some of the parks are either difficult or impossible to see or get to from main roads. Such as Jack Park which by its location is isolated from many of the surrounding neighborhoods. Park signs at each site and directional signs from major roads would attract more attention to the various parks. This lack of awareness can be corrected by providing the public with information about park locations and what each park has to offer. information could be distributed through schools, newsletters, newspapers, public television, and public agencies. Public celebrations could also be held whenever a park was built to publicize the addition to the City park system. Once a recreation program is developed in Tigard, a recreation guide should be published quarterly and mailed to ail Tigard households. This guide would serve as an excellent medium for informing the community of the various ies and recreation opportunities, as well as publicize the various facilit d their location. -20- To ensure that recreational developments are tailored to the needs of the community, a program for citizen involvement in the process of park location and design should be established. Such a program would encourage more involvement from neighborhood groups and would ensure that neighborhood needs are accurately defined and addressed, would build citizen support for parks projects, and help to promote communication between the public and the City. Park designs and locations should be reviewed by the Park and Recreation Board, neighborhood groups and any other citizen bodies before plans are implemented. Also encouraging citizens who will be using the facility to actively participate in the construction and maintenance of park facilities, will promote pride and "ownership" of their parks. 4. MAINTENANCE Maintenance and improvements of Tigard parks and recreational facilities is an issue of significant importance to the public. The aesthetic appearance and overall attractiveness of the City parks is an important characteristic for park use and frequent return of park visitors. Providing a recreational area which is attractive, clean, safe, and meets the needs of the public is an inviting aspect to those who will visit the park. Maintenance and modifications of recreational facilities, such as playground equipment and pedestrian/bicycle paths, is essential to public safety, in providing extended use, and in meeting the needs of the park users. Through the use of a preventive maintenance system, maintenance costs would also be reduced as well as unplanned reactive maintenance. To ensure that parks and recreational facilities are maintained at a standard which promotes active use, pride and enjoyment by the public, stable reliable maintenance funding would need to be found. This funding is essential to assure a continuing program of park maintenance and can be established as a new program of finance is developed for the entire park system. 5. JOINT USE AGREEMENTS The potential for expanding the recreational opportunities in the Tigard planning area is based in pare on the cooperation of all public agencies. Additional development or more intense use of some public facilities could help to increase recreational opportunities. The ownership of public land in the City is now divided among several agencies: The City of Tigard, Tigard School District, Tigard Water District, Bonneville Power Administration, and Unified Sewerage Agency. A joint use agreement or public land policy could promote the multiple use of public lands and facilities for recreation purposes. Although many of the public lands are actively used, there are parcels and facilities that are underutilized or vacant, and which could be used cooperatively for short and long term recreational use. All of the school sues in the City are important recreational resources because they have open spaces and recreational facilities that can be used by the public. Often, the recreational resources of these sites are underused, such as when schools are closed for the summer and are frequently idle and empty. With agreements which define how schools may be used for public —21— recreational purposes, the use of these facilities can increase. Also the potential for schools to be used as recreation centers or community schools may increase as the need for recreation grows. A joint use agreement or public land policy would encourage all public agencies in the planning area to view themselves as potential contributors to the City's recreation system and to support cooperative agreements which would determine how to use the land most efficiently. Many opportunities for future recreational facilities can be combined with public agency uses of the same site. An example would be the joint use of utility lines and pedestrian/bicycle paths. i e g. 3- b. RECOMMENDED PLAN TIGARD PARKS SYSTEM CITY-WIDE GOALS: o To provide a balanced range of park lands and facilities to meet the public's needs for passive and active recreation, and serve the aesthetic needs of all City residents. o To preserve, protect and enhance plant, wildlife and fish areas and habitats; water areas; wetlands; and other unique and natural areas fcr the recreational enjoyment of the general public. o To provide safe and convenient access throughout the community, connecting parks, schools, neighborhoods, and other public areas. LAND ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT Objectives: o Acquire open space and park land in anticipation of population growth and l..anr development, and in advance of need so that they can be reserved for community use before the cost becomes prohibitive. Take advantage of all opportunities to acquire park land as they arise. o Acquire and develop Parks and facilities in underserved neighborhoods. o Develop facilities first where population is concentrated rather than in outlying areas. o Provide parks and facilities in areas isolated by natural and man-made barriers. o Wherever possible, locate neighborhood parks adjacent to school sites. o Develop and locate parks and other recreational facilities to allow safe and convenient access from residential areas. Neighborhood parks, in particular, should be centrally located in residential neighborhoods to encourage access by foot and bicycle. o Develop policy concerning conditions of development, requiring a portion of all new developments to be dedicated as parks and open space through density transfers. Recommended Actions: Land Acquisition — 1. Mini-Parks - Many small parcels of City land could be classified as mini-parks. Many of the cul-de-sac circles located throughout the City have the potential of serving as mini-parks, along with other small lots located within neighborhoods. Most of these areas should be developed s through neighborhood associations or by developers as construction of subdivisions occur. Park standards indicate the need for approximately 18 acres by the year 2000. -23- 2. Neighborhood Parks — Approximately 56 acres needed. Park acreage to be acquired by area: E Area A — 3 acres (Jack Park expansion) Area B — 6 acres (Englewood Park expansion) Area C — 9 acres (3.8 acres available at school site) Area D — 2-3 acres Area E — 3-5 acres Area F — 5 acres Area G — O (contains Fanno Creek Park) Area H — O (contains Woodard Park) Area J — 5 acres (8.1 acres available at school site) Area J — 5-8 acres Area K — 5 acres (5 acres available on public land) Area L — 3-5 acres (22.8 acres available at school sites) Area M — 3-5 acres i kA i E ad �— 3.

The original 36 acres of the park were donated to the City of Tigard by Melville and Jessie Eastham on July 24, 1962. An eight year development plan was initiated that year for picnic areas, play equipment, baa lfields, waterfront facilities, restrooms, and roads. With the volunteer efforts of the United States Marine Corps Reserve, 92nd Avenue from Durham Road to the park was graded and graveled, providing better access to the site in 1966. This also pleased the neighbors along 92nd Avenue and adjacent to the park who had been complaining about the condition of the road due to increased park use. By 1967, approximately half of the site was cleared of brush and trees by the City and a Tigard resident, Ben Larson, to provid a open space for ballf ields, picnicking and play areas. Restrooms were constructed and grass was planted. Water rights to the Tualatin River were obtained to provide irrigation to the park. Riverfront facilities, including a boat ramp and dock, were completed by 1969 providing citizens with a safe and convenient access to the Tualatin River. Through the early 197O's more development took place. Fences were built, walks added, a caretaker's home placed in the park, roads and parking areas completed, an irrigation system installed, ballfields finished, and more picnicking facilities and play equipment provided. The park was expanded with the acquisition of 14.47 acres to the north of the original site. By the late 197O's and into the 1980's, development on the new site was ms progressing with the addition of socce r fields, a small covet shelter with restrooth, and a parking facility. Throughout the park other changes took place with the rebuilding of the restroom facility and addition of facilities for the ball fields (operated by the Tigard little League). Through the efforts of a citizen's group, a basketball court was built in 1985. The park is characterized by reiative ly flat terrain throughout the site, although the banks of the Tualatin River are rather steep. The entire site is in the floodplain of the Tualatin River. Of the 51.06 acres, 14.5 acres are undeveloped and remain in a natural state. The southeast portion of the park and all along the riverf-ront is heavily wooded, with scattered trees throughout the picnic and play areas. The Marry located at the small parking area in the eastern portion Woodard Memorial Maple Grove is of the park. Access to the park by car, can still. only be made by the way of 92nd Avenue. Eventually, g reenway pedestrian/bicycle paths will connect with park pathways and provide access from many neighborhoods and areas of the city- Presently the boating facilities provide access to the river but future improvements to this area will greatly enhance the riverfront for boaters and visitors. z i S 4 C S -36- Goals: o To preserve open space and passive recreational land which will retain and improve livability of the neighborhood and serve the leisure and aesthetic needs of City residents. o To provide safe and convenient access for City residerits and park visitors, and improvement of access for water activities. o To provide large areas for diverse activities encompassing passive and active recreational uses. o To preserve, protect and enhance natural areas for the recreational enjoyment of the general public.

The 15.08 acre site was dedicated to the City of Tigard in three segments between 1974 and 1976 during the construction of the subdivision. During the summer of 1983, work parties were set up in the neighborhood for residents and City maintenance workers to work together to improve the appearance of the park. Growth was cleared from the creek area and the creek was widened to allow better water flow, play areas were cleaned up, grass trimmed, and paths repaired. A strong sense of community appreciation exists in the neighborhood for this park, with many residents acting a^ Block Captains to organize their plans. The park consists of two large parcels of land, presently separated by approximately six acres of privately owned land c.r'_aining a large wooded area and 1.6 acre pond. The area in the eastern portion of the park lies adjacent to Fanno Creek and is bordered on the west by homes. The entire site is flat, contains a few trees and has been planted in grass. The western portion of the park contains 9.02 acres and is bisected by Springwood Drive. Pedestrian/bicycle pathways run the length of the park over relatively flat, grassy terrain. The southern part of the area of the park is quite wooded. The park can be entered by numerous pathways off of the surrounding streets and cul-de-sac, along Springwood Drive as it crosses the park, and by the greenway paths from the south. Besides large open areas for park visitors and families in the neighborhood to enjoy, play equipment is provided in several areas of the park. Each area contains a wooden play structure for creative play and adventure, as well as assorted other more traditional play equipment. Goals: o To preserve open space, which will retain and improve livability of the neighborhood and serve the leisure and aesthetic needs of all residents. o To serve as the neighborhood center for active and passive recreation. o To provide safe and convenient access for neighborhood residents and park visitors. o To preserve, protect and enhance plant, wildlife and fish areas and habitats; water areas; and wetlands. --40- Objectives: o Acquire land, south of the Englewood subdivision to link the east and west portions of the park.

The site lies within the 100-year floodplain and will eventually contain approximately 35 acres. At present, the park consists of approximately 20 acres of dedicated land located primarily in the eastern portion of the park. The park is bordered by commercial and industrial property to the northeast and west. To the southwest and south are primarily residential areas, both single and multi-family housing and some vacant land. The Civic Center (City Nall, Police and Library) is located in the eastern corner of the park along Hall Boulevard with the Senior Center >ituated across Fanno Creek. The park also serves as a natural buffer between the two .area. Because of its location, the park offers recreation and open spaco opportunities not normally found in a downtown setting and becomes a valuable asset to the revitalization of the downtown area. The first parcel of land within the floodplain was dedicated to the City in 19:9. With Fanno Creek running through the site, the area is subject to some flooding every year. The park is relatively flat and smooth. There are presently small ponds located at each end of the park. Most of the park remains in its natural state and is covered by Reed Canary grass with a scattering of brush and trees along Fanno Creek, and around the Civic Center. The brush consists primarily of Oregon Grape, Witchhazel and blackberry bushes, with Douglas fir and some cedar, pine and varied deciduous trees. Access to the site can be made at various points throughout the park. The principle locations are found at the end of Ash Street, at Hall Boulevard, from the Civic Center and Senior Center, and from the residential areas south of the park. Pathways and bridges through the developed area of the park provide safe and convenient access between the Senior Center, the Civic Center, residents from the Chelsea subdivision, and other visitors to the park. As more pathways and bridges are completed, neighborhood residents and park visitors will have better access to the park and the downtown commercial area. As the greenway pedestrian/bicycle pathways are completed, Fanno Creek Park will serve as an important connection and provide access to the downtown area for residents both north and south along Fanno Creek. At present the only other facilities in the park consist of picnic tables and a covered shelter. Goals: o To establish an attractive link between Fanno Creek Park and the downtown area, and provide a significant feature in the downtown revitalization. o To preserve open space and recreational land which will retain and improve livability of the neighborhood, and serve the leisure and aesthetic needs of all residents. o To provide safe and convenient access for neighborhood residents and Senior Center participants to the Civic Center and downtown commercial area. o To establish an aesthetic transition between Fanno Creek Park and the Civic Center. o To preserve, protect and enhance plant, wildlife and fish areas and habitats; water c areas; and wetlands. —43- Objectives: a Acquire remaining land in the 100—year floodplain for park land. o Develop a distinctive entrance ("village green") to the park from Main Street. o Develop a distinctive entrance to the park from Hall Blvd., of a lesser degree than the Main Street entrance. o Provide open space near the downtown area of the park for passive recreation. o Develop an outdoor theater for community use near the downtown area of the park. o Provide play equipment/structure for neighborhood and visitor use, near entrance to park. o Keep paths open throughout the year between Senior Center and neighborhoods, and Civic Center. o Preserve natural area of parks in undeveloped state. o Construct Ash Street in such a way as to not impede pedestrian movement or visua continuity of the entire park. l o Construct pedestrian/bicycle paths to connect Main Street and existing path, g reenway paths, on—street bicycle paths, and neighborhood access. o Provide picnicking facilities — tables, barbecues, trash receptacles, and drinking t fountains. o Provide landscaping where needed to compliment and enhance park.

The site was dedicated to the City in 1970 during the construction of the Bellwood subdivision. Until. !973 the park consisted mostly of grass areas with a grove of fir trees along the creek. By 1976 construction was completed which added trails, fences, an irrigation system, a restroom facility, play equipment, landscaping, a drinking fountain, and picnic tables. Park lighting was provided in 1977. The park became a definite asset to the neighborhood. In 1981 additional picnic tables, barbecues, and trash receptacles were provided. But by 1984 these additional facilities were removed due to vandalism, theft or lack of use. The restroom facility received extensive vandalism and a 11 structures within the building were removed. In the last few years, a volunteer citizen group attempted to organize the neighborhood to be responsible for upkeep of the park, etc. The park for the most part slopes to the east towards the creek which meanders through the park along the eastern boundaries of the site. The eastern and western sides of the park are bordered by homes, the northern edge by condominiums, and the southern end by the creek and an open field. Three paved pathways allow access to the park from the neighborhoods, and wander through the park. Lighting is provided along the pathways throughout the site. Other recreational facilities presently in the park include swings, a full sport court and poles for volleyball. Goals: o To preserve open space which will retain and improve liveability of the neighborhood and serve the leisure and aesthetic needs of all residents. o To serve as the neighborhood center for active and passive recreation. o To restore park to acceptable standards of physical condition. o To provide safe and convenient access for neighborhood residents and park visitors. —50— )bjectives: y equipment/structure for neighborhood use- 0 Provide additional pla o Construct multi-purpose sport court. o Eliminate present restroom facility- 0 Develop covered shelter on present concrete slab- 0 Provide picnicking facilities — tables, barbecues, trash receptacles, drinking fountains. ths to connect with greenway Paths- bicycle Pa 0 Furttreet construction Paths f andde riatn!ood access. bicyc o Preserve existing spaces and natural areas for passive recreation. o Acquire land south of park. o Provide access into park from Walnut Street for the purpose of surveillance. o Restore irrigation system to working condition. o Provide landscaping that will compliment and enhance the surrounding neighborhood.

The park was created by the realignment of Main Street to accommodate a 90o alignment to Pacific Highway at Greenburg Road. The site serves as an attractive entrance into the downtown area and enhances the revitalization of this area. The park is essentially a landscaped area with a walkway through the center of the site with benches. Construction of the park began in 1976 with donations from area citizens and businesses, and development grants. Landscaping and the addition of benches and paths were completed soon thereafter. Landscaping services and maintenance of the park has been donated by a local grounds maintenance service on a year—long basis and possibly could continue with the donated services of other businesses. This service has proved to be an asset to the park's upkeep and appearance, and a viable means of community involvement. I Main Park is another mini—park located at the south end of Main street at the intersection of Pacific Highway in the downtown area. This site was also created by the realignment of Main Street to Pacific Highway at Johnson Street. At present, the area on the south side of the intersection provides a pathway running the length of the park. The site is flat and has been planted in grass, but at present does not contain any landscaping, signs or distinctive objects. The northern portion of the park is semi—landscaped. This park also serves as an entrance into '^ downtown area and will be developed to reflect that. [ Goals: o To establish a link between both parks and the downtown area, and provide a sense of community identity. o To serve as aesthetic areas for scenic enjoyment, and attractive entrances into the downtown area. o To serve as passive recreational areas for visitors to the downtown areA.

The park presently consists of 18.81 acres, a portion of which includes a large lake for storm drainage retention and flood control. Approximately 15 acres were dedicated to the City of Tigard in 1978 by the Art Lutz Development Company as a condition of development of the Summer Lake subdivision. In 1986. 3.06 additional acres in the southwest area of the park were dedicated to the City with the Ari Green subdivision. Acquisition of the remaining acreage in the proposed boundaries and the possible addition of acreage to the south of the park would bring the total park acreage to 30+ acres. Sy 1980, work on the preparation of the lake had been achieved by the developer, which included dredging, grading and reshaping the lake and building a dam at the east end. The City then took responsibility for the building of the bridge connecting the north and south banks of the lake. In 1986, major improvements were completed with the addition of picnic tables, barbecues, trash receptacles, a children's play structure, and the installation of the irrigation/sprinkler system. Many additional recreational facilities are planned for the park. The park has been designed with the community in mind, utilizing the natural amenities and existing lake as the focal point for the parks setting. The site is characterized by open, gently rolling land, sloping south from the Summer Lake subdivision and sloping north into the lake from the southern boundary line. Approximately 75% of the ^horeline has been planted in grass. The southwest edge of the lake remains in its natural state, and includes a grove of Douglas fir and deciduous trees opening into a relatively flat, cleared area to the west of the forested area. The lake, surrounding shortline and drainageways are excellent habitats for various forms of wildlife, and are especially attractive to waterfoul that can be seen at all times of the year. Beavers reside at the Spring Creek inlet to the lake at the west end, causing problems in water level control. This specific area has been suggested by specialists for preservation because of its unique vegetation and wildlife values. Goals: o To preserve open space and passive recreational land which will retain and improve liveability of the surrounding neighborhood and serve the leisure and aesthetic needs of community residents. o To provide safe and convenient access for neighborhood residents and park visitors. o To create a leisurely environment and active recreational spaces to serve the surrounding community and provide facilities which generally cannot be provided at the neighborhood level. o To preserve, protect and enhance plant, wildlife and fish areas and habitats; water areas; and wetlands. o To protect the surrounding neighborhoods from potential negative impacts due to increase in pedestrian and vehicular traffic generated by the park. a —57— e■® Objectives: o Acquire land to the west aid south of park. o Preserve open spaces and natural areas for passive recreation. o Provide picnicking facilities --- tables, cooking facilities, trash receptacles and drinking fountains. o Provide, play equipment/structure for community use. o Provide general lighting throughout park. o Construct pedestrian/bicycle paths between park and Mary Woodward school. o Construct pedestrian/bicycle paths to connect with existing paths, greenway paths, on—street bicycle paths and neighborhood access. o Construct pedestrian/bicycle bridge over dam, sturdy enough to accommodate service vehicles. o Construct 130th Street for direct access to park from major transportation thoroughfare. o Construct direct access to park from areas south of park. o Develop multi—purpose balifield (softball and soccer) primarily for use other than tournament play. o Construct tennis courts with possible addition of lighting and cover. o Construct multi—purpose hard courts with possible addition of lighting and cover. a Construct volleyball facility. o Develop and maintain present houses as multi—purpose community center and in conjunction with future recreation program, with areas for: Restrooms Multi—purpose rooms for classes, public meetings, or drop—in activities.

The .15 acre site is located on the southwest corner o: SW 121st Avenue and SW Katherine Street. The windmill was built in approximately 190o to supply well water for two residents on the Wood-Christensen farm. Today the windmill is all that remains of the once active farm complex. All of the original one hundred and sixty acres have been sub-divided for residential homes. The property was bought by Century 21 Realty in 1978 from a grand-daughter-in-law, with the stipulation that the windmill was to be donated to the City of Tigard for a historical park. Attempts were made to restore the structure at this time but were not dcne correctly. Together with storm damage to the roof and nesting owls, the windmill was in desperate need of repair. By 1983 neighbors and concerned citizens, lead by Mary Payne, joined together and formed the "Friends of the Windmill" committee to restore the windmill. Support from citizen participation and fund raising through several barbecues by Howard Williams' store brought about the needed repairs. The windmill now stands, in good condition, on its original site as a visible testimonial to the land's original use, and to the families who lived and farmed here. Goals: o To preserve as a local historical site for enjoyment and education of present and sr t�uture generations. o To serve as a mini-park and provide an area in which residents can socialize and recreate informally. Objectives: o Provide passive recreation area with benches, trash receptacles and drink fountain. o Provide landscaping that will enhance the park as a special landmark. o Construct irrigation system. a Provide information/interpretative signs, and/or plaque to relate the -historical significance of the park. o Improve the park design to minimize maintenance. i —fi3— WINDMILL PARK.

LYNN ST. �i Q _ cn - C YE-®LDE WINDMILL PARK February, 1987 + � 1 =5O° �yl PARK BOUNDARY WOODARD PARK Joodard Park is a neighborhood park located on Fanno Creek in the Brookside subdivision, near the intersection of SW Johnson Street and SW Brookside Avenue. The 3.26 acre site was purchased by the City from James Willock on April 4, 1967, and plans began immediately for development. Initially, plans to channelize and straighten Panno Creek, eliminating the curve in the creek, then filling in the old channel for a parking lot, were explored. The idea was rejected for financial, legal, and engineering reasons. The park is bordered on the south side by Fanno Creek which gives that portion of the park a horseshoe shape and provides a natural physical boundary between the residential area and the park. The site is relatively flat, with the northern area being slightly higher than the southern. Because the park is in the floodplain, it is subject to flooding during the rainy season. The entire site is heavily wcoded with deciduous trees but cleared of underbrush and has been planted in grass. The park can be entered from the north by a path off of SW Karol Court and from SW Johnson Street on the south. A bridge over Fanno Creek provides entry into the park from the south and along paved pathways running throughout the park. Lighting along the paths provide for a pleasant evening atmosphere and helps reduce the incidence of vandalism. At present the only facilities in the park consist of playground equipment — a slide and some animal swings. Goals: F o To preserve open space which will retain and improve livability of the neighborhood and serve the leisure and aesthetic needs of all residents. C, To serve as the neighborhood center for active and passive recreation. o To provide safe and convenient access for neighborhood residents and park visitors. o To preserve, protect and enhance plant, wildlife and fish areas and habitats; water areas; and wr>tlands. Objectives: o Provide additional play equipment/structure for neighborhood use. e Reduce visual impact of man—holes. o Consider multi—purpose sport court. o Provide picnicking facilities — tables, barbecues, trash receptacles, drinking fountains. C3 Preserve existing spaces and natural areas for passive recreation. o Provide landscaping that will compliment and enhance the surrounding neighborhood. o Construct pedestrian/bicycle paths to connect with existing paths, greenway paths, on—street bicycle paths and neighborhood access. o Maintain bridge. —64— WOODARD PARK PROJECT PROPOSALS PROPOSAL PRIORITY NO.

Locational Criteria o Within the sub-neighborhood* area to be served- Located as central to the area as possible and requiring no crossing of unsignalized arterial streets. o Neighborhoods where the absence of vacant land, land costs or other factors preclude acquisition of larger parcels of land. o Neighborhoods where development densities severely limit private recreational space. o Within small cultural or natural areas with recreational potential. o Adjacent to schools when possible. i' o Within downtown area. Size 0 2500 square feet to 2 acres Service Area and Population o Sub-neighborhood area*. 0 1/8-1/4 mile radius (two to four city blocks). o .5 acres per 1000 people. * "Neighborhood or "sub-neighborhood" refers to an informally defined residential area made up of residents who share common social characteristics and recreational needs. f_ i -67- a Facilities and Features o play areas for young children (e.g., tot lots, playgrounds.) i o Picnic seating and gathering facilities for small groups or individuals. Small shelters or covered areas for a portion of this space are preferred. o Hard surface, multi—purpose playing courts for half—court basketball or tennis practice (preferably covered). 0 open lawn area for lounging and informal play. o pathways, lighting and landscaping for public safety and buffering of neighboring propcirties. o Benches, tables, and trash receptacles. Representative Sites o Hain (.15 acres, Downtown Tigard) o Liberty (.54 acres, Downtown Tigard) o Ye Old Windmill (.15 acres, Morthwest Tigard) o Scheckla (1.4 acres, South Tigard) Comments - The high maintenance cost/square foot and the limited recreation potentials of these sites requires that they be provided where other park types are not feasible. —68— NEIGHBORHOOD PARKS i PURPOSE social, recreational and fitness o To provide a focus for neighborhood activities. o To provide areas for informal and organized recreational activities. Locational Criteria o Centrally located within the neighborhood area to be served. And away from major thoroughfares. o Proximity to residential areas, easy visibility, and within easy and safe access to neighborhoods. o Adjacent to an elementary school or natural feature. Size , 2 to 15 acres o The configuration of t'he smaller sites must allow them to Provide a wide range of recreational opportunities for a neighborhood. C) The upper limit is flexible, but indicates the approximate size at which a neighborhood might lose its identity with the park. Service Area and Population o Neighborhood areas as delineated by natural or cultural boundaries. a 1/4 to 1/2 mile radius (four to seven city blocks) o 2 acres per 1000 people. Facilities and Features o Playgrounds be a sports •Fields (without lighting) — the smallest provideethetes potentialtfor adequate for such features and lawn areas may p informal sports play. the larger sites may allow for full size fields with spectator areas. oRestrooms and storage areas — Larger sites. a Wading pool. o Hard surfac-a court areas in small site multi-purpose courts should be used. The larger sites afford opportunities for more specific facilities to be developed. _ba b_ o Open lawn areas for informal play and lounging. o Picnic, seating, gathering areas and covered shelter for use by neighborhood groups and individuals. o Lighting, landscaping, water features (e.g., ponds or natural streams), and walkways for public safety, site enhancement and buffering of neighboring properties. o Fencing, irrigation, and ease of maintenance. o Natural areas. o Parking areas — this would be limited to the larger sites and provided only when on—street parking is too limited. Representative Sites o Englewood (15.08 acres, North Tigard) o Sack (5.52 acres, Morthwest. Tigard) o Woodard (3.26 acres, North Tigard) Comments Site selection should emphasize safe and convenient access for neighborhood residents. The major methods of travel to these sites will be by pedestrians and bicyclists. Site location will generally be in the interior of residential areas. The specific location, site boundaries, types of facilities and program offered at such sites should minimize conflicts with surrounding residents. A community or park with safe and convenient access from residential areas may provide an adequate substitute for a neighborhood park. —70- i COMMUNITY PARKS Purpoge o To serve as a focus for the community's recreational and social needs and activities. o To provide a large area for facilities and -activities that require lots of ' land, attract a high number of participants and need extensive buffering.

However, the community park facilities should have a separate identity from the school's and have a full range of recreational facilities. Size o 20 to 100 acres o The smaller size r20-30 acres) will not allow for the provision of a complete range of community park facilities or a community center. Smaller size may also preclude the development of a lighted sports field area due to insufficient space for buffering. Service Area and Population o A community area as delineated by natural or cultural boundaries. o One half to two mile radius. Radius may be extended to three miles if safe and convenient bicycle access is provided, auto access is convenient and/or bus service is convenient. 0 2.5 acres per 1000 people. o A population of 25,000 persons and up generally justifies the development Of a community park with the full range of facilities and features.

The Park Plan pedestrian/bicycle paths will be comprised essentially of Class I Independent bikeways. The three route types are: Class I A Class I bikeway is a separate right-of-way designed for the Independent exclusive use of bicycles, except at crossings. It is usually two-way and pedestrian use is permitted unless a separate walkway is provided. These are generally located in parks or greenways and used for recreational trips. Class II A Class II bikeway is a restricted right-of-way that may be Striped located adjacent to a pedestrian path or traffic lane. In Lanes most cases, Class II bikeways are located on the street with sidewalks used only under special conditions and when there are no other alternatives. Through travel by vehicles of pedestrians is not allowed except for access to driveways and parking facilities. Class III A Class III bikeway shares the roadway with vehicles. Routes Signed are designated mainly by signs. These bikeways should be used Route only where low to moderate bicycle demand is expected, vehicles volume (especially trucks) is low, average speed in the outside lane is low, and traffic lane is sufficiently wide to accommodate bicycles. E� General design standards for these three bikeway types are described in Appendix D. BIKEWAY CONSTRUCTION AND DESIGN The State of Oregon now uses and recommends the use of the Guide for Development of New Bicycles Facilities 1981 as the basic design manual for bikeway construction. The guide discusses the general engineering issues in bikeway development and identifies design standards for bikeways, signage , lighting, pavement marking, and roadway utilities. PROJECT PRIORITIES !f In contrast to the 1984 revised Tigard Area Comprehensive Pedestrian/Bicycle Pathway Plan, the Bikeway Alan does not propose phases for construction of bikepath projects, but rather is viewed as a long-range project divided into priorities (high, medium or low) which reflect their relative order of recommended development. Nigh priority routes are designed to provide the basic framework of the greenway park system. In general, these routes were selected because of their potential to meet immediate demands and to connect major residential areas with the parks, schools, and the downtown area. Medium priority routes are designed to extend some of the high priority routes, provide more flexibility in route selection by bicyclists and serve newly developed residential areas. Low priority routes establish connections with adjacent cities and provide the final con,-iections needed to complete the system. -103- IMPLEMENTATION Independent bicycle paths are often constructed as development occurs on adjacent lands. Thus, land use changes generally dictate the implementation schedule for most independent paths. Independent paths in parks or other publicly owned land are often constructed in connection with the City's Capital Improvement Program which dictates the development schedule. Where independent paths are planned through what is presently private, undeveloped land, a proposal to change land use or zoning is an event which can trigger path construction or provide for the dedication of an easement for a future pathUnder City subdivision ordinances or other land development processes, a developer may be required to plan and construct bicycle paths just as he is required to provide streets and other public facilities. The provision of these public facilities is a condition that may be required when a land owner develops the property or requests a change in land use. TRAIL DESIGN STANDARDS Design standards should provide general guidelines for construction of a trail. However, the use of standards should not restrict imagination or unique solutions to design problems. Trail width and vertical clearance are a matter of judgement, with horse '. trails requiring more space than hiking trails. As a general guideline the trail should be sufficiently clear that the route is obvious and safety hazards are removed while retaining as much scenic quality as is possible in trailside vegetation. Sustained grades of more than 20% should be avoided in hiking and horse trails. Surfaces should be of natural materials wherever possible with water bars, ditches and culverts where required to accommodate drainage. —104— I APPENDIX E i i i s METHODS OF FINANCING PARK ACQUISITIONS, DEVELOPMENT AND IMPROVEMENTS: A.

The SDC's need to increase in total over five years from $300,000 to $500,000 to cover growth-related impacts (or from $150 to $250 on a single family building permit). The community-wide needs yet to be detailed as priorities from the larger list in the Park Plan need $1.1 -- 1.2 million for improvements (or- a 15,t per thousand rate for five years). Attached is my follow-up memo from the workshop outlining our Parks Plan schedule. Staff recommends approval of the Park Plan, with subsets to be later incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan as needed. The Parks SDC should be increased as soon as possible. The Parks CTP levy should be readied by the Park Board for presentation to the community within the next year. Attachment ca/1855D d.
