comprised of representatives from the County and cities within the
County. Presently, it appears as if the vote for
approval/disapproval is split on the plan. The Committee is urging
City and County elected officials to attend the public hearing to

2. SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS
a. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF US CONGRESSIONAL AWARD - SILVER
MEDALIST RECIPIENT SHANNON KASTEN
Mayor made a presentation of an engraved leather notebook
to Silver Medalist Recipient Shannon Kasten and
acknowledged her hard work to attain this goal. Ms.
Kasten was a Bronze award winner last year and is hopeful
that she will earn the Gold Award next year.
b. PROCLAMATION
Mayor Edwards proclaimed June 29, 1991, as Tualatin River
Discovery Day. This proclamation calls attention to the
Tualatin River, its valley and tributaries, for the
recreational, historical, economic and environmental
importance to the community through a canoe trip and
environmental fair. This event is to serve the community
by educating the public and public participation is
necessary for the improvement and balanced development of
the Tualatin River.
3. VISITOR'S AGENDA
• Mr. Ray Davis, 2339 S.E. Grand, Portland, OR reported
that one of his truck drivers received a ticket for
traveling in his truck on Durham Road. Mr. Davis advised
he disputed the ticket because of the way the sign reads.
The sign indicates that no trucks over 20,000 G.V.W. can
travel on the Road. The truck driver was cited although
he was not carrying 20,000 G.V.W. on that day. If the
intent and enforcement for the Road is to prevent trucks
(allowing delivery trucks) from traveling Durham Road, he
advised that the sign should be changed to say "No
Trucks" or some other clarifying verbiage.
Mayor Edwards inquired if the truck driver had had his
Court appearance. Mr. Davis responded they had not gone
to Court yet. Mayor advised that the best course of
action would be for Mr. Davis to appear in Court and
present his case. If there is a problem with the way the
sign is worded, this information would come back to the
council through the City Attorney's office.
• Mr. Herman Porter, Chairman of NPO 3, asked that Item 4.6
(Murray Road Memorandum of Understanding) be removed from
the Consent Agenda for discussion. Mayor advised that
Mr. Porter would be given an opportunity to address this
C
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 11, 1991 - PAGE 2
~a
item during the Consent Agenda portion of the meetings
proceedings.
• April Olbrich, 17960 S.W. Kinnaman #8, Aloha, OR 97007,
reported on the Tualatin River Discovery Day (see
proclamation reported above). This is an opportunity for j
the public to become acquainted with the Tualatin River
and its basin by participating in a non-motorized river
from the Schamberg Bridge to the Tualatin Community Park.
Following the take-out at Tualatin Community Park, there
will be an environmental fair at the park featuring
community environmental groups. The fair will be from
the hours of 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 29.
4. CONSENT AGENDA:
Motion by Councilor Johnson, seconded by Mayor Edwards, to

Item 4.6 - Murray Boulevard Memorandum of Understandings
a. Background information from staff report: The subject of
the Memorandum of Understanding concerns the extension of
Murray Boulevard. The existing Urban Planning Area
Agreement provides for the extension of Murray Boulevard
southward and eastward from Old Scholls Ferry Road to
r
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 11, 1991 - PAGE 3
i
connect Walnut Street near 135th Avenue. The extension
is intended to be part of a general transportation system
for the area. The proposed system includes other roadway
improvements intended to carry through traf f is west of
Bull Mountain. The Council previously discussed with the
Beaverton Council the importance of the scheduling of the
various planned roadway improvements. Past planning has
indicated that the roadway improvement west of Bull
Mountain should be completed before the Murray Extension
is open to through traffic in order to discourage use of
the Murray extension as a route for through traffic. In
order to assure that completion of the roadway system
occurs in its intended sequence, a Memorandum of
Understanding has been drafted.
b. Council heard testimony from the following individuals:
• Herm Porter, Chairperson of NPO 3, 11875 S.W.
Gaarde Street, Tigard, OR 97224, noted concerns
with the limitation as contained in the Memorandum
of Understanding noting there is a five-year time
limit: "Engineering has further identified that
the opening of the roadway to travel between Old
Scholls Ferry Road and the area south of New
Scholls Ferry Road can be deferred until the
completion of the Beef Bend Road Extension or for
at least five years from the date of this
t agreement."
• Nancy Smith, 12630 S.W. Walnut Street stated she
reiterated her earlier requests (at previous public
meetings) to not connect Murray Boulevard until
another route west of Beaverton has been completed.
This would avoid the Murray extension from becoming
a "mini Western Bypass" option for traffic. She
agreed with Mr. Porter's testimony and was not in
favor of the five-year time limit as presented in
the Memorandum of Understanding.
• Cal Woolery, Chairperson of NPO 7, 12356 S.W. 132nd
Court, Tigard, OR 97223 agreed with Mr. Porter's
and Ms. Smith's testimony with regard to the five-
year limitation.
C. Councilor Johnson commented on the review process before
building roads or opening up the Murray Road extension.
She advised she believed the City has negotiated the
t maximum protection possible at this time and noted the
cooperation by the City of Beaverton and Washington
County.
C CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 11, 1991 - PAGE 4
( d. RESOLUTION 91-36 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE SIGNING OF
A MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING REGARDING THE EXTENSION OF
MURRAY BOULEVARD AND WALNUT STREET.
e. Motion by Councilor Johnson, seconded by Councilor
Kasten, to adopt Resolution No. 91-36.
The motion was approved by a unanimous vote of Council
present.
5. CONSIDERATION OF SOLID WASTE PASS-THROUGH RATE INCREASE
a. Staff report was summarized by Finance Director Lowry.
Metro will increase dump-site fees on July 1, 1991, by
$13.00 per ton. In order to pass the dump fee increase
on to rate payers in accordance with the Tigard Municipal
Code, Council must adopt a resolution to reflect the
increase in solid waste rates. Historically, the City
has used the Metro Pound/Can assumptions and applied the
increase as required by the Solid Waste Ordinance. Based
on this method, the current increase translates to a $1
per month per can increase in the residential (about 9%
over the current rate).
b. The Solid Waste Advisory Committee (SWAG) (formerly
Utility & Franchise Committee) recommends a change in the
method of passing through the rate. They advise they
would prefer to see the rate increase be passed through
only to residential customers. Chair McReynolds was
present and explained that the commercial rate payers are
paying an ever-increasing greater percentage for solid
waste collection services. It was noted that if the
Council wishes to consider the SWAC's recommendation, a
public hearing for the change in rates would be
necessary.
C. Staff recommended that because a financial review or
audit has not been conducted tb substantiate the extent
of the inequity in the rate structure (residential versus
commercial), the Metro pass-through increase should be
distributed consistent with the method used in previous
years. The downside to this is that any rate structure
inequities would continue and be increased. Staff would
continue to develop a Scope of Work for financial review
of each franchisee's business within the City as
suggested by the SWAG and requested by Council.
d. After discussion, Council approved Resolution No. 91-40
which approved the staff's recommendation to incorporate
the dump fee increase into the solid waste rate schedule
consistent with the method used over the last few years
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 11, 1991 - PAGE 5
with the understanding that a financial review will be
~conducted on each franchisee's business.
e. RESOLUTION NO. 91-40 A RESOLUTION OF THE TIGARD CITY
COUNCIL INCREASING GARBAGE RATES DUE TO DISPOSAL SITE FEE
INCREASES.
f. Motion by Councilor Johnson, seconded by Councilor
Kasten, to adopt Resolution No. 91-40.
The motion was approved by a unanimous vote of Council
present.
6. PUBLIC HEARING - COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENTS
a. The public hearing was opened.
b. There were no declarations or challenges.
C. Community Development Director Murphy gave an
overview synopsis of items 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3,noting
how they were connected. Senior Planner Bunch
reviewed each of the components as they were
presented in the staff report submitted in the
Council packets.
6.1 Comprehensive Plan Transportation map and associated
Policies
A revised Comprehensive Plan Transportation Map was
prepared as part of the Public Facility Plan and Tigard's
Comprehensive Plan Periodic Review. In addition to the
map revisions, there are four transportation
comprehensive Plan Policies proposed for adoption. The
new Plan policies were developed to support
implementation of a new Transportation Map. The Map
reflects all of the changes in the area's road network
including completed projects and legislative changes made
by the City Council since the Map was first adopted in
1983. Also, the map refines the previous "Nodes" and
associated "Notes" into more specific study areas.
Public Testimony:
• Jim Tyson, Rt. 3, Box 464, Hillsboro, OR 97123
advised that he owns property at 11639 S.W. Pacific
Highway in Tigard. He cited concern] that the
value of his property would be damaged if the State
Highway (ODOT) should decided to widen Highway 99W.
C_ CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 11, 1991 - PAGE 6
Mayor advised that the Highway 99 widening project
was not in the Comprehensive Plan. He advised that
the Council would be appointing a Task Force to
study the Highway 99 widening project and there
would be opportunities for public input.
• Mr. Cal Woolery, Chairperson NPO 7, 12356 S.W.
132nd Court, advised of NPO 7's concerns with the
Transportation Plan in the Bull Mountain area. He
said there was a need to assist the internal
traffic circulation in the area by strengthening
and creating a better infrastructure.
Community Development Director, during his
concluding remarks, agreed that this was a study
area that would need to be resolved in the near
future.
• Larry Bissett, 2004 N.W. Irving, Portland, OR
advised he was representing a 75-member committee
known as the Committee for Transportation
Alternatives (CTA). He outlined the concerns of
CTA with ODOT's proposal to widen Highway 99W. He
said the committee had been meeting for about 3-1/2
months and have other transportation proposals they
want the State to consider.
i
Mr. Bissett presented a June 11, 1991, letter from
Robert E. Freeman, General Partner of Western
Investment Properties. Mr. Freeman, in this
letter, expressed support for the studies proposed
by CTA which would include an overcrossing and
potentially a freeway interface with Highway 217,
connecting Dartmouth to Hunsiker Road and Hall
Boulevard.
Mr. Bissett advised that ODOT requires input from
the City before they will look at CTA's proposals.
He also referred to the State's work on 217 and I-5
noting that CTA's proposal may be foreclosed if
there is much of a delay.
• Written testimony received by Council prior to the
public hearing included the following:
- June 11, 1991 letter from Jon Fessler to the
Tigard City Council concerning "ODOT's Plan to
Widen Highway 99."
- June 11, 1991 letter from Judy Fessler
concerning the widening of Pacific Highway as
"proposed in the Public Facilities Plan."
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JUNE 11, 1991 - PAGE 7
i
(Note: Pacific Highway widening was not contained in the
Public Facilities Plan see Mayor's remarks above.)
Staff and Legal Counsel Recommended: That Note #9 be
deleted from the Transportation map. This Note calls for
a study of a Highway 217 overpass in the vicinity in the
Tigard Triangle. The recommendation to delete was made
based on the ongoing litigation involving road
improvements serving the Tigard Triangle area. Legal
Counsel did not believe that it was prudent to make any
changes with respect to the transportation element of the
Comprehensive Plan as long as issues are being litigated.
Staff recommended that the public hearing on this section
of the Transportation Map be continued to August 27,
1991.
The public hearing on this section was closed.
Deletion of Note 9: Motion by Councilor Kasten, seconded
by Councilor Eadon, to remove Note 9, from the
Transportation Map and continue the hearing on this item
to August 27, 1991.
The motion was approved by a unanimous vote of Council
present.
ORDINANCE NO. 91-13 - AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING A REVISED
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TRANSPORTATION MAP AND ASSOCIATED
POLICIES; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
Motion by Councilor Kasten, seconded by Councilor Eadon,
to approve Ordinance No. 91-13 with the deletion of "Note
9.11
The motion was approved by a unanimous vote of Council
present.
6.2 Public Facility Plan Required as Part of the City of
Tigard Comprehensive Plan Periodic Review (Oregon
Administrative Rules 660-110-000)

to assure that urban development is guided and supported

POLICY ISSUE
INFORMATION SUMMARY
Council established the Utility & Franchise Committee in 1985. The tasks of that Committee
were to develop a curb-side solid waste recycling program, review solid waste franchise
ordinance and rates, to conduct performance audit of the wastewater utility program, and
review utility franchise ordinances and rates.
There have been many changes in the tasks since 1985; namely, wastewater utility issues have
been taken over by USA with the SWIM Program, the other utility franchise ordinances (i.e.
gas, phone, electric) have been reviewed, and the Solid Waste industry has changed to the
point that the committee needs to focus their efforts on solid waste issues only to keep up
with the issues presented on a monthly basis.
On April 16,1991, Council requested staff develop a new scope of work that better defined the
functions of the Committee based on the above changes. The new scope of work focus
specifically on the Solid Waste industry. The following items have been added to previous
C duties: balancing the needs of the franchised haulers with the needs of the community when
developing plans and requirements for service delivery; serving as a moderator for solid
waste complaints that are not able to be resolved between the haulers and customers; and
enhancing an active and visible educational program for solid waste management and recycling.
The Utility & Franchise Committee reviewed the attached listing of functions and recommended
approval on 5/20/91.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
1. Approve Resolution establishing a Solid Waste Advisory Committee

a general transportation system for the area. The proposed system includes
other roadway improvements intended to carry through traffic west of Bull
Mountain.
The Council has previously discussed with the Beaverton Council the
importance of the scheduling of the various planned roadway improvements.
Past planning has indicated that the roadway improvements west of Bull
Mountain should be completed before the Murray extension is opened to through
:raff ic, in order to discourage use of the Murray extension as a route for
°through traffic.
In order to assure that completion of the roadway system occurs in the
intended sequence, a Memorandum of Understanding has been drafted.
The Planning Commission, NPO #3, and NPO #7 have received copies of the
proposed Memorandum. No written comments have been received.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD
TO: Planning Commission May 15, 1991
NPO #3
NPO #7
FROM: Randy Wooley, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Murray Boulevard Extension
We have reached agreement with Beaverton staff on a memorandum of
understanding regarding the Murray Boulevard extension. The
memorandum provides that the proposed extension will not be opened
to through traffic between Old Scholls Ferry Road and Tigard until
road improvements have been completed on the west side of Bull
Mountain, as provided in the County Transportation Plan.
We expect to present this memorandum of understanding to the Tigard
City Council on the agenda of the meeting of June 11, 1991. We
will be recommending that.the Council approve the memorandum. We
expect that the memorandum will also be presented to. the Beaverton
Council and the Board of County CoIgmissioners in the near future.
Attached is a copy of the memorandum. Some of the language has
been modified since the draft presented in April. The-changes were .
made at the request of Beaverton. However, the intent of the
memorandum remains unchanged.
Any written comments received by June 11th will be shared with the
City Council when they consider approval of the memorandum.
t
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
REGARDING THE EXTENSION OF
MURRAY BOULEVARD AND WALNUT STREET
This memorandum of understanding between Washington County,: the
City of-Beaverton, and the City of Tigard is.intended to document
the mutual understanding regarding the schedule for implementation
of a portion of the existing Urban Planning Area Agreements. between
-the County and'the two cities, in order to assure an orderly and
coordinated development of the transportation system in accordance
with adopted planning documents.
RECITALS:
1. In December of 1988 an Urban Planning Area Agreement was
executed between Washington County and the City of Beaverton.
In the same month; a similar Urban-Planning Area Agreement was
executed between Wash-i.ngton County -and.the City of Tigard.
Both Agreements provide for the extensions of Murray Boulevard
and Walnut Street to form a. collector street connection
between the two cities. No -schedule is specified for
completion of the street connection.
2. The Washington County Transportation Plan, adopted -in-October
of 1988, calls-for the extension of Beef Bend Road as•a minor
arterial to connect between Scholls Ferry Road and Sherwood.
This road extension is also recommended in the Southwest.
Corridor Study Report adopted by. the Metropolitan- Service
District Council on May 28, 1987.
3. The Southwest Corridor Study Report recommends that the Murray
Boulevard extension not be completed until the Beef Bend Road
extension is completed. Completion of the Beef Bend Road
extension is considered necessary in order to discourage the
use of the Murray Boulevard extension as a through route
=between Scholls Ferry Road and Highway 99W. The Southwest
Corridor Study Report suggests that the portion of the Murray
Boulevard extension to be delayed is the portion between
Walnut Street and Gaarde Street. The parties to this
agreement have previously supported the recommendations of the
Report.
4. The Southwest Corridor Study Report, while very specific in
some aspects, is considered by the parties to be a generalized
public facilities planning document. As the parties have
undertaken further planning for the affected area and observed
development patterns in the area, it has become apparent that
the Southwest Corridor Study Report objective of.discouraging

s
DRAFT
i
DRAFT ~
the use of the Murray Boulevard extension as a through route
pending -the completion of the Beef Bend Road extension can
best be implemented through a modified approach to the one
( described in the Corridor Study.
5. In discussions between the Cities of Beaverton and Tigard, it
has been determined that all portions of the Murray Boulevard li
extension need to be completed in conjunction with development
of the adjoining-properties-in order to (1) comply with the
intentions of the Urban Planning Area Agreement and (2)
provide adequate traffic circulation in the developing areas. ;I
Engineering review has further identified that the opening of y
the roadway to through travel between Old Scholls Ferry Road
and the area south of New Scholls Ferry Road can be defc.rred
until the completion of the Beef Bend Road extension or for at
least five years from the date of this agreement.
AGREEMENT :
1. The portion of the Murray Boulevard extension between Scholls
Ferry Road and Old Scholls Ferry Road shall not be opened to
through traffic prior to the completion of the Beef Bend Road M
extension to-Sherwood. 'Physical construction of.the roadway
will be permitted, - but the actual connection for through
traffic will be impeded -by the use of barriers or other- j
effective devices approved by all-parties to this agreement.
2. Washington County shall actively pursue funding for
construction of the-Beef Bend Road extension.. The Cities of
t Beaverton and- Tigard shall support -the-.County in this endeavor
3. This memorandum of understanding shall remain. in effect until
amended by-mutual agreement of all parties.

NPO #7 is before Council tonight to petition Tigard City Council to
review and amend its Urban Planning Area Agreement with Washington
County, as adopted by Tigard Resolution NO. 88-114.
NPO #7 petitions Council to delete the UPAA Murray Extension and
Connection to 121st and 6aarde, under Subsection III. C. 4.,
in Its entirety, pursuant to the UPAA amendment procedures, under
Subsections- IV. A. and IV. C.
NPO #3 and CPO #4 are long standing opponents to the Murray Extension
and Connection to 121st and Saarde. NPO #7 stands with NPO #3 and
CPO #4 in their opposition to the Murray Connection.
NPO #7 directs Council`s attention to the Washington County
Transportation Director's letter to the Tigard City Manager,
dated March 26, 1990.
The letter first recites the history of the Murray Connection and the
UPAA:
The Aloha-Reedville-Cooper Mtn. and Hull Mtn Community Plans and
Washington County adopt the Murray Connection in 1983.
Tigard adopts a UPAR with Washington County in 1983 which states the
N:7-7d-and the LOCATION of the Murray Connection is unresolved.
Washington County adopts a UPAA with Tigard in 1986 which includes the
Murray Connection.
Washington County adopts a UPAR with Tigard in 1988 which includes the
Murray Connection.
The letter then states that:
The Murray Connection is envisioned to provide improvements to the
local Tigard circulation system and is not intended to serve any
broader transportation needs.
Beef Send Road, Scholls Ferry Road and Highways 217 and 99W are
intended to serve as the needed arterial connections and access in the
area.
The Beef Band Road Extension and Highway 217 Widening SHOULD BE
completed BEFORE the completion of the Murray Connection.
The Murray Connection is a neir road an a new alignment, and thus
preserves lower traffic volumes on existing streets and protects
livability in Tigard neighborhoods.
The Murray Connection's section from Old Scholls Ferry Road to
135th Ave. is considered a committed project in Metro's Regional
s
Transportation Plan.
The Murray Connection's section from 13Sth Ave. to Gaarde is a
project recommended to be completed over the next ten years in
Metro's Regional Transportation Plan.
WO #7 asserts that the Murray Connection will not improve local Tigard
traffic circulation, but instead attract and channel Aloha and Beaverton
traffic from Murray Road and Scholls Ferry Road onto Tigard streets
which now serve Tigard traffic needs.
The WO asserts that the Murray Connection will not preserve lower
traffic volumes on existing Tigard streets and protect livability in
Tigard neighborhoods, but instead:
Attract through traffic onto Tigard streets and subject Tigard
neighborhoods to more traffic hazard and traffic noise.
Result in widened streets and subject Tigard neighborhoods to physical
and visual segmentation.
WO #1< asserts that the Murray Connection will serve as an ATTRACTIVE
transportation ALTERNATIVE to Beef Bend Road. Scholls Ferry Road and
Highways 217 and SSW despite its intended use, its intended
designation and its intended design standards.
The WO ass-arts that significant segments of the Murray Connection
will be built BEFORE the Beef Band Road Extension and Highway 217
Widening are completed because any Tigard development adjacent to the
Murray Connection IS FORCED to construct the connection as a condition
of development approval.
NPO #7 asserts that the Murray Connection will destroy significant
urban wetlands and wildlife reserves within the Summercraek wetlands and
watercourse in Beaverton adjacent to Tigard's city limits.
NPO #7 directs Council's attention to Matra's Regional Urban Growth
Goals and Objectives, August, 1990 Review Draft.
The draft recites Metro's transportation policies:
Transportation, Objective 3., states that a regional transportation
system shall be developed which provides ADEQUATE levels of mobility
consistent with local comprehensive plans, recognizes financial
constraints, and MINIMIZES the environmental impacts of system
development, operations and maintenance.
Mobility. Pa13cy 3.2, states that adequate mobility will be provided
by actively working to meet mobility needs in ways that do not require
new transportation system construction and as a LAST RESORT, expanding
1 the capacity of existing systems or developing new transportation
system infrastructure.
Environmental Considerations. Policy 3.5, states- that the regional
transportation system shall be planned to remove through traffic from
neighborhood streets which results from congestion on adjacent
facilities and MINIMIZE negative impacts on parks. public open space. I
wetlands, and negative effects on communities and neighborhoods
arising from noise, visual impacts- and physical segmentation.
NPO #7 asserts that the Murray Connection fails to meet Metro's
transportation goals and policies, despite Metro's- previous adoption of
the Connection.
x•
Therefore, Neighborhood Planning Organization #7 petitions Tigard City
Council to: A
Review CITY OF TIGAR12 RESOLUTION NO. 88-114.
Amend the UPRA to delete Subsection III. C. 4.,
Murray Extension and Connection to 121st and Gaarde.

Subject: Murray Boulevard Connection
As we discussed last week, I have developed some additional back-
ground information for you and the City Council on the establishment
of the Murray Boulevard Connection. Following is a chronology of
events as they relate to the county's Plans and the Urban Planning
Area Agreements (UPAAs) between the County and the City:
June 28. 1983 - Washington County Transportation Plan adopted,
stating that the Murray Blvd. Connection from Old Scholls
Perry Road to-Gaarde Street should be a minor arterial or
major collector. Aloha-Reedville-Cooper Mountain and Bull
Mountain Community Plans also adopted, showing the proposed
alignment for the Murray Boulevard Connection.
June-28. _1983 - Washington County-Tigard UPAA adopted, includ-
ing language stating that the need and location of the Murray
Blvd. Connection was an unresolved issue, but that until the
issue was resolved, the City and County agreea to take no
actions which would preclude alternative solutions.-'
January 2, 1284 - Washington County-Tigard UPAA expired.
March, 1984 Tigard reviewed Park Place Planned Development.
The proposed development contains a street design violating
County major collector standards. County appeals approval of
Park Place to City Council.
April 23. 1984 - After lengthy discussions between the City of
Tigard, and the County, the Tigard City council adopted
revisions to the Park Place project design which addressed the
County's concerns and preserved the integrity of a major
collector Murray Blvd. Connection through the project.
April 24.1984 - Board of County Commissioners (BCC) adopts R&O
84-73 reactivating.the UPAA which had expired. The R&O con-
tained a process for resolving transportation issues and adopt-
ed interim design guidelines for the Murray Bl.rd. Connection.
1 June 30„_1985 - UPAA expires again.

ing to the Murray Blvd. Connection, and adopts the general
alignment for the road from Old Scholls Ferry Road to 135th
Avenue:
...C. Special Policies... '
4. The City of Tigard, City of Beaverton and Washing-
ton County have agreed to the following stipula-
tions regarding the connection of Murray Boulevard
from old Scholls Ferry Road to the intersection of
SW 121st Avenue and Gaarde Street:

occur coincident with the connection of Murray
Boulevard from Walnut/135th Avenue to Gaarde
street.
e. The City of Tigard and Washington County, with
involvement by affected property owners, shall
jointly develop an alignment for the connection
of Murray Boulevard between the 135th Avenue/
Walnut Street and 121st Avenue/Gaarde Street
intersections in 2986....
October 25,_1988 BCC enacts Ordinances 332 & 333 adopting
UPAA with-Tigard including the same policies and design stan-
dards as the 1986 UPAA. These Ordinances also adopted an
updated Washington county Transportation Plan including the
proposed Murray Blvd. Connection, the generalized alignment,
and collector classification.
The UPAAs note that Tigard, Beaverton and Washington County support
the improvements in Metro's Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The
RTP includes the Murray Blvd. Connection in the category of projects
intended to improve local circulation and arterial operations. The
section from old Scholls Ferry Road to 135th Ave. is considered a
committed project in the RTP and in the region's Transportation

Model, because of the on-going development activity dedicating por-
tions of the necessary Right-of-Way and constructing portions of this
segment as needed to access their developing properties.
The section from 135th Ave. to Gaarde street is listed as a project
recommended to be completed over the next 10 years, with the RTP
further noting that the extension of Beef Bend Road from Scholls
Ferry Road to Hwy. 99W in Sherwood, and widening and other
improvements to Hwy. 217 should both be completed k f~ ore the
completion of the Murray Blvd. Connection. Beef Bend Road, Scholls
Ferry Road, and Highways 217 and 99W are-intended to serve as the
needed arterial connections and access•in'the area.. The Murray Blvd.
Connection is envisioned to provide improvements to the local Tigard
circulation system and is not intended to serve any broader
transportation needs.
The connection of Beef Bend Road to Elsner Road and Highway 99W is a
project that the County is considering for project development. if
the cities in southeast Washington county, including Tigard were to
offer their support for this facility, Preliminary Engineering could
be started for this project.
The Northeast Bull Mountain Transportation study completed by City of
Tigard staff, with assistance from Washington County and Metro staff,
indicates that the majority of the traffic projected to use the Mur-
ray Blvd. Connection is generated locally from the Bull Mountain/
Tigard area. A very small proportion of the traffic is expected to
be through traffic to/from points north of Old Scholls Ferry Road or
to/from-the area south and east of Highway 99W.
More importantly, the Murray Blvd. Connection is predominantly a new
road on a new alignment, and thus preserves the lower traffic volumes
on existing streets and protects the neighborhood livability in the
135th Ave., Walnut St., and 121st Ave. areas. For example, only
about 2$ of the traffic on Walnut Street is projected to be through
traffic as defined above.
The city's NE Bull Mountain Transportation Study noted that the
buildout of the Bull. Mountain area will result in nearly 13,000
dwelling units housing over 29,000 residents within the study area.
The recommendations developed by your staff reflect the need to
accommodate that planned growth, to support that development with a
system of collector streets, and to minimize impacts on existing
neighborhoods. Your staff's conclusions beginning on page 29 of the
-Report and Recommendation note that elimination of the Murray Blvd.
connection would not reduce traffic volumes on Walnut or Gaarde
Streets. Traffic would double on•135th Avenue, which would serve as
the alternate route to the Murray Blvd. Connection. In addition,
traffic would be projected to increase substantially on 121st, North
Dakota, Davies, Greenburg, and Scholls Ferry.

in light of the foregoing discussion of the history and intent of the
Murray Blvd. Connection, and the recent analysis by City, County, and
Metro staff which support the retention of the Murray Blvd.
connection, S i4ould urge you to recommend to your City Council that
the Murray Blvd. Connection from Old Scholls Ferry to 135th be
retained as adopted, and that the staff recommendations for the other
minor collectors in the Bull Mountain study area and the alignment
for the connection from Walnut to Gaarde be adopted.
Again, I want to emphasize that the County agrees with the city and
the Regional Transportation Plan, that the Murray Boulevard
connection to Gaarde street should not be completed before necessary.
projects are in place to improve the capacity of Highway 217, and to
provide the connection of Beef Bend/Elsner Roads from Scholls Ferry
to Highway 99W The County is willing to begin project development
and Preliminary Engineering for Reef Bend/Elsner if Tigard and other
cities in the area would support that project. Please don*t hesitate
to call me if you need any further information,on the Murray Blvd.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
AGENDA OF: June 11, 1991 DATE SUBMITTED: May 31, 1991
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE: Solid Waste PREVIOUS ACTION: Annual Metro
Rate Increase - Metro Pass Throu Pass Through in-June, 1990
PREPARED BY: Wayne LowrvilM Loreen Edin
DEPT HEAD OK CITY ADMIN OK REQUESTED BY. Navne Lowr Loreen Edin
POLICY ISSUE
CURRENT POLICY states (TMC Section 11.04.090(c)) that increases in charges to the solid waste
franchisees for disposal site fees imposed by a governmental agency may be included in
consumer rates established by resolution provided they are evenly distributed among rates.
This is the method used in prior years.
POLICY QUESTION: Should a rate structure change be accomplished now by distributing to only
the residential customers the disposal site fees pass through?
INFORMATION SUMMARY
The Metropolitan Service District (Metro) will increase dump site fees on July 1, 1991 by
$13.00 per ton. The last such increase was effective on July 1, 1990 and was an increase of
$10.25 per ton. In order to pass the dump fee increase on to rate payers in accordance with
the TMC, Council must adopt a resolution to reflect the increase in solid waste rates.
Historically, the City has used Metro's pounds/can assumptions and applied the increase, as
required by the solid waste ordinance, "evenly distributed among the rates". Based on the
C this method, the current increase translates into a $1.00 per month per can increase in the
residential rate or an increase of about 9% over the current residential rates.
UTILITY & FRANCHISE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: While the Utility & Franchise Committee
recognizes that the City may be required to pass through the increase based on the same
method as has been used over the last four years, the Committee has identified concerns
regarding rate structure inequities between service types. For this reason, the Committee .
recommends passing through the Metro increase to only the residential customers. This would
translate into a $1.95 per month per can increase or an average increase of 17% over the
current residential rates.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Because a financial review or audit has not been conducted to
substantiate the extent of the inequity in the rate structure, staff would recommend
distributing the Metro pass through increase consistent with the method used in previous
years. This would result in an increase of $1.00 per residential can per month & spread
throughout the rate structure this year. The downside to this is that any rate structure
inequities will continue and could be increased.
With this recommendation, staff would continue to develop a scope of work for a financial
review of each franchisee's business within the City as suggested by the U&F Committee and
requested by the Council.
PROCESS: If the Council wishes to consider the U&F Committee recommendation prior to a
financial review, a public hearing will need to be scheduled before Council action on this
pass through. Should Council wish to approve staff's recommendation, action can be taken at
this time without further public notice.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED

1. Continue the meeting to advertise a public hearing to consider an alternative method of
pass through calculations ($1.95 per residential can per month).
2. Approve the incorporation of the dump fee increase into the solid waste rate schedule
consistent with method used over the last few years ($1.00 per residential can per month and
distributed throughout the rate structure) with the understanding that a financial review
will be conducted on each franchisee's business.
3. Do not approve pass through.

commercial vs Residential rate disparity will increase with
the $1.00 across the board rate increase. Disparity is caused by
the cost of recycling which is paid for by the rate payers.
The committee favors an increase of $1.95 per can for resi-

The ordinance provides for an automatic pass-thru of Metro
imposed disposal fees to be spread equally among the rates. The
automatic pass-thru would be $1.00 per can. However, Pride would
receive approximately $7,600 per month windfall with the $1.00
proposal. The $1.95 residential only increase would result in
approximately $1,000 per month decrease in net profits which would
put them more in line with the City profit guidelines. See Pride's
letter attached.
The complete rate structure needs an overhaul. The proposed
review or audit would test the reporting methodology and perhaps
suggest ways to make changes. However, it will take some time to
do the audit, digest it and propose any changes depending upon.,
information sampling that may be needed. Perhaps it may take a
year or more to finally implement a completely new rate structure.

Subject: Proposed Rate Increase
After reviewing the two proposed rate tables, I found that the impact
to Pride Disposal varies greatly.
With Metro's planned increase of $13.00 per ton, Pride Disposal will
see an increase in disposal fees related to Tigard customers of
approximately $9,450.00 per month.
Under proposal #1, where the residential customer sees a $1.95 (17X)
increase, the revenue received by Pride Disposal.will increase by
$8,400.00 per month. This will bring Pride Disposal's income more in
line with the profit percentages set by the City.
However, with proposal #2, where the traditional pass-thru formula
is used, the revenue received by Pride Disposal will be $16,000.00
per month. This will push Pride Disposal farther away from the parameters
set by the City.
If you have any questions, please call.

POLI ISSUE
Should the City Council adopt a revised Comprehensive Plan Transportation Map
and implementing policies.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
The revised Comprehensive Plan Transportation Map (Exhibit "A") was prepared
as part of the Public Facility Plan of Tigard's Comprehensive Plan Periodic
Review. In addition, to the map revisions, there are four Transportation
Comprehensive Plan Policies proposed for adoption (Exhibit "B"). The new
plan policies were developed to support implementation of the new
Transportation Map.
The Transportation Committee and all the NPO's have reviewed the map. The
Planning Commission in a public hearing on April 8, 1991, recommended to the
7ity Council that the map be adopted.
The Planning Commission and NPO's have reviewed one of the four proposed
implementing policies. Discussions with the City Attorney and the Oregon
Department of Transportation after the Planning Commission Hearing resulted
in three additional policies being proposed. The new policies are intended
to address the procedural aspects of how the Transportation Map is used and
amended.
The map reflect's all the changes in the area's road network, including
completed projects and legislative changes made by the City Council since the
map first was adopted in 1983. Also, the map refines the previous "nodes"
and associated notes into more specific study areas.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
1) Not to adopt the map and the associated policies.
2) Adopt the map and policies.
3) Revise the map and associated policies.
FISCAL IMPACT
None foreseen.

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Pat Reilly, City Administrator
FROM: Ed Murphy, Community Development Director
DATE: May 31, 1991
SUBJECT: Revised Comprehensive Plan Transportation Map
A revised Comprehensive Plan Transportation Map and implementing
policies have been prepared as part of the Public Facility Plan
element of Tigard's Comprehensive Plan Periodic Review.
The map reflects all the changes in the area's road network,
including completed projects and legislative changes made by the
City Council since the map was first adopted in 1983. Also, the
map refines the previous "nodes" and associated notes into more
specific study areas. This was done to be consistent with the
Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), the plans of adjoining
jurisdictions, and the Oregon Department of Transportation, and
with current conditions. The study areas do not propose specific
new routes. They merely indicate that at some time in the future,
studies will be developed to address identified transportation
needs. For the most part, the proposed study areas are consistent
with the intent and direction of the "nodes" that are on the 1983
Transportation Plan Map. In addition, the Tigard Transportation
Map shows that portion of the Washington County Transportation Map
which lies within the City's urban planning area.
There is, however, a study area that was not on the 1983
Transportation Plan Map. At one of the three meetings at which
they worked on this plan, the Tigard Transportation Advisory
Committee proposed that a study area be designated to "consider an
additional crossing of Highway 217 to relieve traffic volumes on
Pacific Highway and other routes." This was added to the plan as
Study Area #9. With this addition, the Transportation Advisory
Committee has recommended that the new Transportation Plan Map be
adopted.
All of the NPO's have reviewed the map. Comments from the NPO's to
date have consisted of Bill Gross, NPO #7 stating that, "NPO's #3
and #7 want to go on record as being adamantly opposed to the
Murray Boulevard alignment." He went on to stress that the
alignment of the road should, at the minimum, be designated as a
"Study Area" from Scholls, Ferry Road to 121st Avenue. A written
r comment was also submitted by Mr. Gross stating that, "The Davies
Road extension and Scholls Ferry cul-de-sac would be better
illustrated on the Tigard Transportation Map as it is illustrated
in the NE Bull Mountain Transportation Study." This letter and
associated maps are attached. Larry Bisset of the Committee for
Tigard's Transportation Alternatives has also indicated that the
they will request that the Transportation Plan include a Hwy. 99W
by-pass route which would interconnect Hall Boulevard with the
proposed Dartmouth extension and provide new access to Interstate
5 at the Haines Street Exit.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Transportation Plan
Map at a public hearing on April 8, 1991. They also heard the
above argument that the Murray Boulevard alignment should at least
be designated as a study area. They unanimously voted to forward
to the City Council a recommendation that the map be adopted as
presented with the Murray Boulevard alignment shown.
The Planning Commission did not have an opportunity to consider Mr.
Gross's comment regarding the Davies Road extension, or the
Committee for Tigard's Transportation Alternatives request that a
Highway 99W bypass be designated on the Transportation Plan Map.
Also, the Commission did not review the Transportation Advisory
Committee's recommendation that Study Area #9 be added to the map.
These recommendations and comments were made after the Planning
Commission hearing.
The Planning Commission also recommended that two new
Transportation policies be adopted to support the new Comprehensive
Plan Transportation Map. This new policy language was recommended
by Jim Coleman, City Attorney to:
Be specific as to how the City will deal with those situations
where transportation improvements are, or will be needed at
some time in the future, but where the specific routes are
unknown, and;
Formalize the City's practice of reviewing development plans
to minimize conflict with possible future road alignments
within the study areas.
The language of these two policies were proposed as follows:
New Policy (1):
When the actual routes of future transportation improvements have
not been determined, the City shall designate study areas on the
Comprehensive Plan Transportation Map and provide general project
descriptions to:
1) Identify the approximate areas within which these
projects will occur, and;
2) To explain the type and extent of these future
improvements.
r.
New Policy (2):
Land use applications within Comprehensive Plan Map study
areas shall be reviewed to ensure compatibility with future
transportation improvements.
However, following the Planning Commission hearing the City
Attorney spent additional time reviewing Policy (2). He
recommended that the policy be changed to the following:
Revised Policy (2)
When reviewing development applications within Comprehensive
Transportation Plan Map study areas, the City shall work with
applicants to avoid conflict with the location of future
transportation improvements.
The reason for the change is that unless a specific alignment is in
place, the City has no authority to apply conditions to development
to ensure compatibility with street alignments which are not
defined. Mr. Coleman emphasized the importance of the City
defining these alignments as soon as feasible in order to have a
basis to require right-of-way dedication concurrent with
development.
Mr. Coleman also recommended that the City adopt an additional
policy that specifically states how the City will undertake to
amend the Comprehensive Plan Transportation Map when alignments
are determined within the study areas and when the classification
of streets are proposed to be changed. This policy is proposed as
follows:
New Policy (3)
A change in roadway classification, or location shall require an
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Transportation Map, and; when
the location of all or a portion of a roadway within a
Transportation Map Study Area has been determined, the Map will be
amended by:
1) Designating the location of the roadway.
2) Designating its classification, and;
3) Deleting the appropriate portion of the study area
involved.
The Oregon Department of Transportation desires the City to adopt
a policy which supports its efforts to realign connections between
Highway 217, Kruse Way, I-5 and the Tigard Triangle. A
Transportation Plan Map amendment will be needed when the actual
alignment is determined, but a policy statement supporting the
purpose of the project would ensure a sound basis for future
planning. It should be noted that this policy specifically
( maintains the city's right to, "review, comment, an concur with the
actual alignments of the project." The policy is proposed to read
as follows.
New Policy (4)
The City shall support the goals and objectives of the Oregon
Department of Transportation to improve traffic flow and
capacity at the interchange of I-5 and Highway 217/Kruse Way.
However, the City retains the prerogative to review, comment
and concur with the actual alignments of the project.
The NPO's, Planning Commission, and Transportation Advisory
Committee have not had an opportunity to review the revised policy
(2), or new policies (3) and (4). Because these policies are
intended to implement the Comprehensive Plan Transportation clap,
which has been reviewed and approved by these bodies, staff
recommends that they be adopted concurrently with the Map.

RE: Transportation Plan: Note 9
The transportation plan includes a provision identified as Note 9
which calls for study of a Highway 217 overpass in the vicinity in
the Tigard Triangle.
It is any strong recommendation that this provision be deleted from
the plan at this time. I make this recommendation based upon the
ongoing litigation involving road improvements serving the Tigard
Triangle area. I do not believe that it is prudent to make any
changes with, respect to the transportation element of the
comprehensive plan as long as these issues are being litigated.

Tigard, OR 97223
Dear Mayor Edwards, Council President Johnson,
and Councilors Eaden, Kasten And Schwartz:
This letter is to request that the updating of Tigard's
Comprehensive Transportation Plan include the local by-pass
route originally proposed by the Oregon Department of
Transportation (ODOT) in 1988. This route has been discussed
and recommended by the relevant NPOs and the Transportation
Advisory Committee.
I am writing on behalf of a citizens group (The Committee for
Tigard's Transportation Alternatives) which strongly supports
a transportation process for the Pacific Highway corridor and
the Tigard area, and which also recognizes the strong
interdependence between local, state, and regional
transportation systems.
Although we are concerned about some of ODOT's recent
proposals focusing on a segment of Pacific Highway, we
believe there is at least one viable and technically feasible
alternative which supports the community's planning
objectives and which can be very beneficial to the City, to
the local residents and businesses and also to the State and
regional transportation systems. We are heartened by your
recent announcement of the formation of a task force, soon to
be appointed, for the purpose of exploring such alternatives.
Our review of the subject, reveals that one such alternative
consists of a local by-pass route first proposed by ODOT in
their study entitled "TIGARD TRIANGLE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION
ANALYSIS" prepared by the Region One Transportation Analysis
Unit of ODOT in July, 1988. This proposed route would
interconnect Hall Blvd. with the proposed Dartmouth Extension
and provide new access to I-5 at the Haines Street exit.
The Tigard City Council
May 30, 1991
This would provide an additional arterial, to parallel and
thus relieve much of the congestion on Pacific Highway. As
T described in that study:
"This scenario would construct a crossing over or
under Highway 217 from Dartmouth in the vicinity
of 78th Avenue, to an intersection with Hunzicker
Street and finally connect with Mall boulevard (see
Figure 8 and 8A). The scenario also assumes a full
interchange of 72nd with Highway 217 at the
existing location. SW 72nd would be four lanes
south of Dartmouth with left and right turn lanes
at major intersections. The purpose of this scenario
would be to serve forecast travel demand in the Triangle
and provide relief to 99W and 72nd Avenue." (p.9)
Figures 8 and 9A, from the 1988 study, are attached.
Although focused on the Tigard Triangle, and the
transportation demands that its development would
necessarily entail, the 1988 study nonetheless makes the
point that the development of the Dartmouth Extension from
the Haines Street exit on I-5, together with a simple
overcrossing connecting Dartmouth with Hunzicker and
ultimately lull Blvd., would provide significant relief to
the congestion on Pacific Highway 9914:
"With the new connection there would (be) a
209 reduction in traffic volumes on 99Id east
of Highway 217 during (the) 2015 forecast year.
Similar reductions are found.on Dartmouth
Street and on 78th Avenue leading to 99W." (p.1L)
In addition, in order to satisfy future transportation
demands, ODOT's 1988 traffic study for the Tigard Triangle
concluded that:
"By the year 2010, or when development reaches
approximately 60 percent of the development
potential, a new access, either over or under
Highway 217, connecting Hunzicker and Hall
Boulevard, must be constructed." (p.17; emphasis
added)
It has occurred to us that this plan could be implemented
without substantial additional expenditure for a new
structure across Hwy. 217. This can be done by obtaining
ODOT's consent to relocate the proposed new structure that is
now being planned to connect Hunzicker Road with Hampton
Street, as part of the rebuilding of the I-5/Hwy.217/S.W.72nd
interchange. (There is nothing critical about connecting
Hunzicker and Hampton Streets in fact, it seems ill-
advised given the increased traffic that this would piit right
next to the Phil Lewis School.) By relocating this structure
-2-
The Tigard City Council
May 30, 1991
to the Dartmouth Extension al.ignrient, the necessary
connection to the south as called for in ODOT's 1988 Triangle
Study could be made now, as a modification of the rebuilding
of the I-5/Hwy.217/S.W.72nd interchange, without imposing
substantial additional cost. However, this opportunity must
be acted upon promptly since ODOT is now in the process of
formulating its planned revisions to the design for the
interchange at S.W. 72nd.
Inasmuch as the necessity of an overcrossing of Hwy. 217
connecting Dartmouth with Hunzicker and Ball Blvd., together
with its adjacent beneficial effects on 99W traffic has
already been established, it seems apparent that this route
should be added to the Tigard Comprehensive Transportation
Plan. This is also an essential step in the process of
obtaining ODOT's approval for an overcrosing of Highway 217.
If this were done sooner rather than later, there would be an
excellent opportunity to implement a major component of this
route (the section connecting Dartmouth with Hunzicker) as
part of the rebuilding of the I-5/Hwy.217/5.W.72nd
interchange. This would be a major step forward in helping to
relieve the traffic and congestion on Pacific Highway.

DRAFT MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Pat Reilly, City Administrator
FROM: Ed Murphy, Community Development Director
DATE: June 11, 1991
SUBJECT: Transportation Map, Note.#9
OVERVIEW:
Summary:
Staff is now recommending that Note #9 be deleted from the
Transportation Map, and further, that the public hearing on
the Transportation Map be left open until the Council meeting
of August 27th, at which time Note #9 will again be
considered.
In the meantime, staff will work with the property owners
within the Triangle area on an agreement between those owners
and the city which would, if accomplished, result in an end to
litigation regarding Dartmouth, a potential change to the
design of Dartmouth, and an outline of what the study called
for in Note #9 would entail.
Policy Implications:
The issue is whether or not the Transportation Map should
commit the City to conduct a study of a possible crossing over
Highway #217, connecting Dartmouth to Hunziker. Although the
Transportation Committee has recommended that the City Council
designate this potential crossing area as a "study area" (Note
#9), the City Council has also been advised by the City
Attorney's office not to add Note #9 to the map as long as
there is potential litigation over the construction of
Dartmouth Street.
Financial Implications:
! If a study area is designated on the map at this time, it
could create pressure on the City to begin to allocate
resources to the study--although no specific scope of work or
time line has been indicated. Not placing the study on the
map does not preclude the City from committing resources, but
the City would not be under any obligation to do so.
-1-
Recommendation:
Adopt the Transportation Map, with Note #9 deleted. Continue
the public hearing regarding a connection between Hunziker and
Dartmouth to August 27, 1991.
ANALYSIS:
Background:
For several years the City has been involved in litigation
with Gordon Martin regarding the Dartmouth Local Improvement
District. One of the issues Mr. Martin has consistently
raised was that of a connection to Highway #217 from
Dartmouth.
Over the last few months, several interconnected issues have
surfaced.
1) Mr. Martin has retained the services of Wayne Kittleson
and Larry Bisset to review the 11217 interface"
feasibility in more detail. Specifically, they are
reviewing the feasibility of a connection between
Dartmouth Street and Hall Boulevard, with a series of
collector/distributor roads "interfacing" with Highway
t 217.
2) At the same time, the City and some of the property
owners along highway 99W have asked the ODOT to review
some potential options to widening 99W. In fact, a
review of other options has been written into the charge
to the 99W Task Force.
3) Also at the same time, ODOT is completing their final
environmental impact statement and preliminary design
work on the I-5/217 interchange, which includes the
overcrossing at 72nd Avenue.
4) Meanwhile, the City is updating and amending the
Transportation Map. The Transportation Committee, upon
the request by Mr. Bisset and others, has recommended
that a study area be designated on the Transportation Map
which would call for a review of the feasibility of a
Dartmouth extension that would cross over Highway 217 and
connect to Hunziker.
5) And finally, at least two major developers are seriously
considering developing property along Dartmouth Avenue.
They are interested in improving access to their
property; amending the Dartmouth LID project now to allow
for additional widening; and protecting themselves
-2-
i
t
against any potential litigation from Mr. Martin as they
proceed with their development plans.
There may be a general alignment of interests at this point.
• ODOT and the City would like to know if there really are
alternatives to widening 99W, or at least projects that would
enhance the 99W widening project and extend the life of that
project's effectiveness.
• The property owners would like a better connection between
Dartmouth and 217, and between Dartmouth and Hall and
Hunziker, if such connections are possible. Further, neither
they, nor the City or ODOT want to prematurely foreclose
options that may include these connections.
The property owners want some certainty with regards to the
future street network, as well as to their ability to develop
within the parameters of the Comprehensive Plan and
Development Code.
Towards that end, a group of representatives of the property
owners and the City met on Friday June 7th to discuss the
situation. The resulting agreement is as follows:
1. The City staff and City Attorney's office would recommend
to the City Council that they delete Note #9 from the
proposed Transportation Map Amendments.
2. Likewise, staff would recommend that the public hearing
on Note #9 be continued to the August 27th meeting;
3. During the remainder of June and July, the City staff,
working with the City Attorney's office and
representatives of the major property owners in the area,
would work in good faith to come to a written agreement
that would involve:
a. The dismissal of any further litigation
b. The outline of the study to which Note #9 is
referring
C. The potential change to the design of Dartmouth
Avenue
Such an agreement, if it could be reached, would be targeted
for City Council review at its August 13th meeting if not
before. Then on August 27th, the Council could consider the
matter of whether or not to add Note #9.
-3-
e~
CONCLUSION:
There may be an opportunity available to settle some of the past
differences property owners have between themselves and between
themselves and the City. Further, there may be some transportation
options not yet reviewed that could affect other projects in the
area. There does not seem to be any harm in deleting Note #9 at
this time, and considering it at a later date. On the other hand,
adding Note #9 at this time, without a corresponding agreement to '
dismiss any further litigation, could possibly be used by Mr.
Martin or others to continue the legal debate over whether
Dartmouth should or should not be built.

- -
POLICY ISSUE
Should the City Council adopt the attached City of Tigard Public Facility
Plan (PFP) as per OAR 660-11-000.
-
INFORMATION SUMMARY
A Public Facility Plan is required by OAR 660-11-000 to be developed and
adopted by at the time of Periodic Review of the Comprehensive Plan. The
purpose of the plan, as per the Public Facilities Planning Rule, is to, "Help
assure that urban development is guided and supported'by types and levels of
urban facilities and services for the needs and requirements of the urban
areas to be serviced, and that those facilities and services are provided in
a timely, orderly, and efficient arrangement as required by Goal 11 (Public
Facilities)."
However, the PFP also has policy implications. The Public Facility Planning
Rule also requires the following to be adopted as part of the Comprehensive
)lan:
1. The list of public facility project titles.
2. A map or written description of the public facility projects locations
or service areas.
3. The policies or urban growth management agreement designating the
provider of each public facility system.
Adoption of the PFP does not prohibit projects not included in the public

TO: Pat Reilly, City Administrator

FROM: Ed Murphy, Community Development Director 17/V-V
DATE: May 31, 1991
SUBJECT: City of Tigard Public Facility Plan
A Public Facility Plan (PFP) is required to be adopted by each
jurisdiction at the time of Periodic Review. The PFP is intended
to serve as a support document to the Tigard Comprehensive Plan and
provide background information pertaining to public facilities that
serve the City.
Information pertaining to Tigard's water, sanitary sewer, storm
drainage and transportation systems is provided in the attached
report and support documents. These are the key physical
facilities necessary to support urban development and are those for
which specific documentation is required by the Public Facilities
Plan Rule (OAR 660-11-000).
There are limited land use policy implications associated with this
document, especially since most of Tigard's public facilities are
provided by other agencies. The portions of the PFP that have land
use implications and, as such, are to be adopted as part of the
Comprehensive Plan with Periodic Review include:
1) The list of public facility project titles. If the City
desires, the list can exclude descriptions or specifications
of projects.
The list of project descriptions proposed to be adopted as
part of the Comprehensive Plan include the following:
a) Water: It is proposed to adopt the project titles from
the 1991 5-year capital improvement program for the
Tigard Water District, and the short range projects
identified in the PFP for the portion of the Tigard urban
area served by the Metzger Water District. The Water
Districts have not identified long range capital
projects.
Tigard and Metzger Water Districts purchase water from
Lake Oswego and Portland, and there are at least three
options for expanding capacity. Because of this
uncertainty, treatment facilities are not included as
part of the PFP.
It should be noted that the Tigard Water District 5-Year
CIP includes alternatives to increase system capacity.
b) Sanitary Sewer: Short and long term sanitary sewer
projects are identified in the Sanitary Sewer Facility
Plan. These projects are keyed to the Sanitary Sewer
Facility Plan Map. It should be noted that USA has no
future plans to construct new major transmission lines in
Tigard. Because the Durham Sanitary Sewage Treatment
Plant is currently undergoing substantial expansion
adequate to 'serve future population growth, treatment
.capacity is not addressed as a future project in the PFP
C) Storm Drainage: Long range projects derived from the
CH2M-Hill 1981 City-Wide Master Drainage Plan are
proposed. Short term drainage projects consist primarily
of replacing three bridges which were built too low over
local drainage ways.
d) Transportation: A list of short and long term City and
state transportation projects is proposed for adoption.
Also included for adoption is a list of short term
bicycle and pedestrian path projects proposed to be done
through park levy funds.
2) General maps or written descriptions of the public facility
projects, locations or service areas.
Written descriptions of the public facility projects'
locations are provided if appropriate. The following list of
maps are proposed to be adopted as part of the Comprehensive
Plan.
a) Tigard and Metzger Water District Map to include only
that portion which serves the Tigard Urban Planning Area.
b) Tigard Water District: Proposed Bull Mountain Area
Facilities to include only that portion within the Tigard
Planning Area.
C) USA Storm Drainage Maintenance Areas.
d) City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan Transportation Map.
e) City of Tigard Sanitary Sewer Facility Plan Map.
3) The policy(ies) or urban growth management agreements
designating the provider of each public facility system.
There are existing policies within the Tigard Comprehensive
Plan which designate the providers of water and sanitary sewer
service. Also, the Comprehensive Plan has a policy which
identifies Tri-Met the provider of transit services. In
addition the City has adopted agreements with the Unified
Sewerage Agency to "coordinate and unify sanitary sewer
treatment facilities and surface water management;"
f
M
It is possible to add projects to the above lists. It is not the
intent of Public Facility Planning Rule to prohibit or prevent
projects which are not on the list. Project timing and financing
provisions are not considered land use decisions by the PFP Rule.
Therefore, the timing and the methods of how projects are financed
can be easily changed.
Copies of the Public Facility Plan have been sent to METRO, Tri-
Met, the water service providers, Unified Sewerage Agency, and ODOT
for review and comment. These agencies have been given until June
10, 1991 to respond. Any responses will be reported at the June 11,
1991 City Council meeting.

DATE: May 31, 1991
SUBJECT: Tigard Comprehensive Plan Periodic Review Order
f
Attached is the Final Tigard Comprehensive Plan Periodic Review
Order. To date, we have received comment from two parties that
they wish to raise issues at the hearing at which the City Council
is requested to adopt the Final Order.
The Committee for Tigard's Transportation Alternatives will raise
the issue of adding another route to by-pass Highway 99W to the
proposed Tigard Comprehensive Plan Transportation Map. This issue
is dealt with in detail in the council packet material which
addresses adoption of the revised Comprehensive Plan Transportation
Map.
Doug Smithey of 11396 SW Ironwood Loop, Tigard, OR has requested
that the City designate an area of wetlands located on land known ,
as the Hart Property (1S-34-DB TL 2400), and as shown on the
attached map, as a "Significant Wetland." Designation of this area
as a significant wetland would specifically require more stringent
development standards be applied when adjacent properties are
developed. Mr. Smithey's letter and a map of the area are
attached.
Staff proposes to not to address Mr. Smithey's comments through the
Periodic Review Process. Rather, within the next several months,
we will work with Mr. Smithey, the Department of Land Conservation
and Development, and other agencies to determine the wetlands
significance of the property and whether it warrants designation as
a "significant wetland."

Dear Ron:
I have some comments related to the periodic review and Goal 5 protection
for the Hart property. On February 12, 1991, I presented the attached
letter to the City Council. It recommends a minimum of 100-foot buffer
around the Hart Lake or B-2 wetlands be protected, and incorporated into
the Tigard comprehensive plan. It recommends that this area is deserving
of designation as a highly significant Goal 5 Resource.with the most
intensive levels of protection.
I want to re-iteriate those recommendations, and state that the area should
be managed as it traditionally has as a shallow lake wetland. The Fans of
Fanno Creek and Portland Audubon Society have written to Tigard with
similar recommendations about Hart Lake, Goal 5 and periodic review.
In a separate but related action on March 25, 1991, the Tigard Planning
Commission issued Final Order No. 91-07 PC. This relates to subdivision
of the Hart property (and other property). This is file no. SUB 91-0001.
This order requires a 100 foot deep setback for developement on the south
side of Hart Lake wetlands and complete protection of the north side of
the wetland area. The Commission recognized this area as a valuable area
for wildlife and undeveloped open space.
This order is entirely consistent with the letters requesting additional
Goal 5 protection for Hart Lake. The order amounts to a policy statement
that a high level of protection is needed for Hart Lake wetlands and
the surrounding area.
Again, I urge the City to manage the lake and wetlands, and establish at
least 100-foot protective zone around the wetland. The area should be
designated a highly significant Goal 5 Resource with the most intensive
levels of protection.
Thank you.

City Council
City of Tigard
Tigard, Oregon 97223
Dear Council Members:
I wish to have input into the current land-use planning periodic review.
I have comments pertinent to your Goal 5 and development review processes.
The specific area of concern I have is the lake/pond wetland and adjacent
upland area identified as B-1 and B-2 on your inventory (map attached). This
area is generally described as the creek which flows through Englewood Park to
its confluence with Fanno Creek, and adjacent lands. The B-2 wetland complex
is in T1S R1W Sec. 34 NE 1/4.
I am a professional wildlife biologist with an M.S. degree in wildlife
management and many years of work experience in the field. I live in this
neighborhood. My property is on SW Ironwood Loop adjacent to Englewood Park
and very near the B-1 and B-2 areas.
This area is a highly significant Goal 5 Resource deserving the most
intensive levels of protection. I recommend that a minimum of 100 feet area
around the B-1 and B-2 wetlands be protected. This will buffer the wetlands.
But, more importantly, the natural resource actually is the irregular mosaic
of water, wetland, uplands and forested habitat. All these components work
together to create what, in an urban setting, is a very rare and rich natural
system. A diversity of wildlife such as this in an urban setting is unique
and extremely valuable. The ecosystem should be protected in its entirety.
It is worth noting that the Refections on Summer Creek development just
off SW Scholls Ferry Road has incorporated a 200-foot corridor associated with,
Summer Creek for open space. This development has occurred profitably while
protecting natural resources. It suggests to me that this type of site design
approach could serve as a model or example for any development of private
lands in the vicinity of the B-2 area.
The B-2 area is unusual in that it has forested lands completely
surrounding the lake and wetlands. On the south side of the lake there are
many broken topped trees, particularly cedars. These candelabra shaped trees
are very attractive as roosting sites for the great blue herons which occupy
this area year round. Current human access to chat area is very limited which
contributes to the security of the herons using that grove. Great blue herons
are sensitive to human disturbance especially where they nest or roost.
Great numbers of waterfowl use this area. They tend to concentrate
along the shores and coves where human disturbance is more limited. Within
the last week, I have seen Canada geese, mallard ducks, buffleheads, and teal
COMMISSION

using this area. I have seen red-tailed hawks soaring over the grasslands and
great-horned owls sitting on snags and using hollow trees in the vicinity.
Furbearers and other medium-sized mammals make extensive use of the
entire area. I have personally seen beaver, nutria and muskrats in both the
lake (B-2) and the small pond '(B-1). Racoons and opossum are common.
One morning, I even saw black-tailed deer tracks in the mud. My
neighbors who have lived in the area longer than I say they have observed
otter and bobcat there.
This tributary of Fanno Creek is an important component in the efforts
to clean up the Tualatin River system. Wetlands and the mosaic of habitat
around them filter and purify water and provide storm water storage. The more
intact or whole and healthy these systems are, the better job they can do in
purifying and storing water. Having the whole mosaic of habitats (wetlands,
forested uplands, grassy uplands) maintains the value of the wetlands.
In summary, this area provides great opportunities for wildlife habitat,
urban wildlife and open space use (such as bird watching) and benefits to
water quality and flood abatement. It may continue to provide these benefits,
but only if it is given a high level of protection and any development of
private lands is most carefully planned. I would appreciate being kept
informed on your Goal 5 update and any development plans or design review for
this area.
Sincerely,
r Douglas A. Smithey

Council meeting
PREPARED BY: John Acker '
DEPT HEAD OK CITY ADMIN OK REQUESTED BY:

POLICY ISSUE
No policy issu associated with the bi award.

INFORMATION SUMMARY
In February, the City Council authorized staff to go to bid for construction of a new
restroom at Cook Park. The Park Board, with assistance from staff and the architect,
established the restroom design. The project was advertised and bids were open on April 16,
1991. The bids received at that time were considered too high so the project scope was
revised and re-advertised. Major revisions to the project included using colored split face
block with brick accents, substituting porcelain for stainless steel fixtures, changes in
plumbing, and demolition of the existing restroom by the City, which was presented and
approved by the Parks Board at their April meeting.
On May 6, 1991, the city received seven bids for construction of the revised Cook Park
restroom project as follows:
First Cascade Corp. $ 90,967.00
Kohring Construction $ 96,000.00
Pacific Coast Construction $ 99,277.00
Russell Construction $101,588.00
Hermanson Construction $104,658.00
Michael J. Watt Company $109,600.00
Bill Bowers Construction $116,525.00
The low bid is $90,967.00 submitted by First Cascade Corporation. This amount is
pproximately $ 11,000 over the architect's estimate for this project.
Council members in attendance at the May 21, 1991 meeting decided to forego a decision on
this matter until June 11.
- -
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
1. Accept the bid and award the contract to First Cascade Corporation.
2. Reject all bids, re-design the project, and go to bid again.
3. Reject all bids and do nothing further.
4. Renovate the existing restroom building at an estimated cost of $ 65,000.
-
FISCAL IMPACT
The contract amount of $90,967.00 will come from the Parks Levy. Although the bid is higher
than the architect's estimate, other improvements in Cook park, such as the Riverfront
improvements, the irrigation system and the pedestrian improvements on 2nd avenue, were
substantially less than what was originally budgeted. These savings, along with grants
received, are off-setting other costs that are higher than anticipated, such as the purchase
of the Summerlake property. If ultimately there is a shortage of levy funds to complete all
the projects the way they were originally envisioned, then it is anticipated that either
other lower priority projects will be delayed, downscoped or deleted, or other funds such as
system development fees will be used to complete those projects.
-
SUGGESTED ACTION
The Parks Board and city staff consider this to be an appropriate bid for the project. Staff
also feels that the project cannot be further altered without sacrificing goals of low
maintenance, vandal resistance, and having an attractive, useable facility.
i
't is recommended that the City Council award a contract for construction of a restroom
facility at Cook Park to First Cascade Corporation in the amount of $ 90,967 and authorize
the City Administrator to sign the contract.

MEMORANDUM
C CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
TO: Pat Reilly, City Administrator May 3 , 1991
FROM: Ed Murphy, Director of Community Developmen
SUBJECT: New Cook Park Restroom Contract Award
At the May 21 Council meeting there was a question concerning how
the decision was reached to build a restroom with six unisex units
at Cook Park. This memo is intended to address the issue of sizing
of the facility, and also to review the chronology of the restroom
issue.
Fall 1990 The Parks Board voted to recommend to the City _
Council that a new restroom facility of unisex
design be constructed in Cook Park.
Fall 1990 The City Council accepted the recommendation of the
Parks Board to build a new facility and that the
facility be designed in the unisex style.
Winter 1991 The Parks board, with the help of the architect,
decided on a design and materials for the new
facility. The design, based on a comparison with
another regional park, included six unisex units
which should be adequate to meet Cook Park needs
now and in the foreseeable future. Factors that
were considered in the decision on size include:
A comparison was made with Blue Lake Park
between people per day/fixture for both average day
and peak day usage. Blue Lake Park has 50-65
people per day/fixture on the average day and 150-
165 people per day/fixture on peak days.
It was estimated that on a typical week-end
day in Cook Park in the summer, about 600 persons
could be using the park. Using the same ratio that
Blue Lake park has for an average day, it was
decided that there should be ten fixtures in the
park to accommodate those 600 people. With the
four fixtures that are in the west Cook Park
restroom and the addition of six fixtures in the
new facility, Cook Park would have ten fixtures,
which should accommodate average summertime weekend
usage. In addition, of course, park usage will
likely increase with a growing population and the
addition of other park improvements, such as the
playground and the riverfront improvements.
The restrooms will not accommodate "peak"
usage, such as soccer or baseball tournaments.
These peak days will often necessitate the use of
portable restrooms, which will be required of the
major event sponsor, as they are presently.
Spring 1991 City Council gave staff the go-ahead to go out to
bid.
April 16 Bids were open - all bids were considered too high
and were rejected.
The project was downscoped where possible without
compromising the integrity of the building.
April The Parks Board reviewed the downscoped project and
recommended that the City proceed.
May 6 Bids were opened. City received seven bids, all
from qualified bidders.
Parks Board members recommended that the City accept
the low bid for this downscoped restroom project and
proceed with construction as soon as possible.
May 21 City Council postponed action of the bid award, and
asked the staff to review the sizing of the
restroom to determine whether or not the restroom
was being built to accommodate peak or average day
usage.
The low bidder subsequently extended his bid by a
couple of weeks, as per the Council's request.
Staff has re-reviewed the proposed structure and has concluded that
the structure is the correct size for average weekend use during
the summer, not counting special events.
Staff did not prepare a cost estimate for a smaller structure, say
a four unit structure, but would assume that the savings may be
around 15-20%, rather than a directly proportional 33%, because of
the base costs such as the "move-in" costs.
Given that the bidding climate is reasonably good, and the city
received seven bids on the project, there does not seem to be any
reason to delay the award of the bid at time.
