" Scheckla. i j > Staff Present: City Manager Bill Monahan; Asst. to the City Manager Liz Newton; Public Works Director Ed Wegner; and City Recorder Catherine Wheatley. > Executive Session: Cancelled Y, > Balloon Festival Costs Councilor Hunt expressed concern at the cost of the Balloon Festival as reported in the staff memo. He asked for a Council discussion of the issue prior to meeting the Balloon Festival organizers. He said that he did not see in the budget the authorization for an additional $41,000 ! for the Festival. Mr. Monahan said that this cost was the cost of the City staff work and services. Since they did not go over the budget for the year, they did not need a special appropriations. He said that he was equally concerned at the dollar amount involved. Councilor Hunt said that he would like to see an accounting of how much money the Festival took in, and where it went. Mayor Nicoli concurred. Mr. Monahan suggested holding the discussion soon, in late July or early August. Mr. Monahan recommended discussing the philosophy behind the Balloon Festival and other community events. He noted that the Balloon Festival organizers wanted to make contributions { to the park from their profits. Councilor Hunt asked if these events should hire people to do the work rather than using City staff. Mayor Nicoli pointed out that the City subsidized other community events such as - Country Daze. However the Balloon Festival pulled in 70,000 people over three days. Councilor Rohlf suggested doing an analysis of the economic benefit of the Festival to the local merchants. Councilor Hunt concurred, arguing that if Washington Square benefited from the I Festival, perhaps they should pay money in instead of the City using taxpayer dollars. Councilor Scheckla mentioned the burden that this three day event put on the City staff. He disagreed with the City picking up the extra $41,000 by itself, although he considered the event 47 to be great public relations for Tigard. Mayor Nicoli said that he did not disagree with others helping with this extra cost but he advised caution in dealing with a volunteer organizatior that put in hours of unpaid labor to organize this event. Councilor Moore pointed out that sponsoring community events was part of what a city did as a method of showcasing the city. The level of City funding given to an event was a benchmark of how important that event was to the city. t CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JULY 8, 1997 - PAGE I J :F7 00) Mr. Monahan mentioned that staff has done a better job of tracking the dollars and thus had a more accurate accounting of the costs involved with the Festival. He said that staff would inform Bruce of the Council's concerns and ask him for input on how to offset the cost. Ed Wegner, Public Works Director, reported that the staff worked in shifts 20 hours a day for those three days. He noted the tremendous growth of the Festival since it began. He said that 1 staff wanted to work this community event. He mentioned that they did get paid overtime but in addition the Festival people took care of them, providing food, etc. ~ i• Mr. Monahan mentioned that one of the goals for community character in the visioning process 1 was what should be the City's role in community events. Liz Newton, Assistant to the City Manager, commented that the Task Force wanted the Action Committee to look at events that could eventually become self-supporting. Mr. Monahan reiterated that this was a question of Council philosophy for which staff needed t. . clear direction on in order to deal properly with requests for community events. Mayor Nicoli commented that in his experience as a volunteer for community activities he found that raising the funds needed to put on the activity was the downside. He said that he was not aware of any event in this community that ever supported itself. Mayor Nicoli said that he would not accept the visioning committee's recommendation unless they had people on the committee who had experience in putting on a community event. He said that community events and volunteerism were part of what made the city a good place to live in. Councilor Rohlf spoke for discussion on what the Council wanted to do to promote the City, to make an investment in the City. He said that the Balloon Festival was an investment in the City. _ He commented that while the costs did surprise him, they did not "floor" him because he was aware of how hard the staff was working to make this the excellent event that it was. Mr. Wegner mentioned that staff was proud of their work on the Balloon Festival. 1 Councilor Hunt suggested more publicity for the Fourth of July as that was also an excellent community event with many citizens in attendance. > Agenda Review j' > Mayor Nicoli recessed the study session at 7:35 p.m. 1.

VISITOR'S AGENDA Jack Polaris, 16000 SW Queen Victoria Place, King City, commented on the need for a Corporate Commission in Oregon to hear citizen complaints about corporations. 3. CONSENT AGENDA j Councilor Scheckla asked what would happen if ODOT decided not to vacate its right of way (Item No. 3.2). Mr. Monahan said that staff was initiating the vacation process in the hopes that ODOT would initiate their process concurrently. Staff could add a condition that the vacation decision was pending on ODOT's similar decision. Staff noted that the reference to Exhibit B in Section 1 should be corrected to Exhibit A.

REVIEW OPTIONS FOR TRAFFIC MITIGATION - SW NORTH DAKOTA (carried over from 6/17/97 Council Meeting) Gus Duenas, City Engineer, reviewed the findings of the staff report presented on June 17. He j presented the background on the street connections in this area that resulted in the situation that exists today. He said that the NPO 7 community plan (1970s) clearly showed SW North Dakota a connecting to Springwood Drive but the Comprehensive Plan (1983) showed SW North Dakota connecting to Scholls Ferry. He said that citizens did have ample opportunity for public input during the year and a half Comprehensive Plan process. He presented aerial photographs from 1986 showing a connection to Scholls Ferry prior to development of the area. He concluded that S those moving into the area knew that there was a connection to Scholls Ferry Road. Mr. Duenas mentioned the island improvements placed in 1989 and 1991 to address the traffic volume and speeding issues. He reviewed the five options from the JRH Transportation .1 Engineering study conducted in between the two phases. In addition to the traffic islands, the CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JULY 8, 1997 - PAGE 3 1 j options either completely closed SW North Dakota or partially closed it. The problem was that any kind of closure on SW North Dakota rerouted the traffic to neighborhood streets not I designed to carry the traffic. Mr. Duenas recommended creating a 10 person task force to review these and any other options s. in depth for a recommendation back to Council. The task force should include neighbors from Springwood Court as well as North Dakota, businesses impacted by traffic changes in the area, City staff, and a Councilor. He suggested that Council provide direction on what alternatives were not acceptable, such as closure of SW North Dakota. Mr. Duenas pointed out that North Dakota was a minor collector in the Comprehensive Plan, and any substantial changes to it required an amendment. He said that this was not a unique situation, other minor collectors in the City intersected with arterials. He commented that the discussion on this situation would possibly have ramifications elsewhere in the City. i S ? Mayor Nicoli suggested using the same process that the City used for the tree issue and 130`h. 3 The City created a task force chaired by a Councilor and gave them free rein to find a solution that everyone could live with. He commented that a staff member or Councilor knew that a , street closure was not an acceptable solution to the problem. He recommended Councilor Rohlf 1 as the chair of this Task Force. Councilor Rohlf requested Liz Newton as a staff facilitator. i Councilor Rohlf spoke to the engineering report. He stated that the North Dakota neighborhood did not intend to divert traffic to another neighborhood. At the time the study was done, the options given were viable. He commented that the aerial photograph could not be from March j 1986 because he moved into his residence in October 1986 and North Dakota was not yet - 1 connected to Scholls Ferry. He said that he was willing to serve on the task force. The Council agreed by consensus to direct staff to create a task force with Councilor Rohlf as the chair. 1 > Jack Polans reiterated his suggestion from last week that the City take aerial film of the traffic flow along that road. Mayor Nicoli reiterated his answer that the City could not afford to do that. He mentioned that aerial film of traffic flows was not a method used for traffic analysis. t Traffic engineers have found better methods for gathering data to resolve problems. Councilor 1 Moore suggested that Mr. Polaris meet with Mr. Duenas on the City's current traffic analysis equipment. > Jackie Glen, 12500 SW North Dakota, explained that she was given the vacant lot next to her house. She asked if the City would plant trees on it for the benefit of those driving by. ! > Rob Hansen said that he would like to learn the terminology used in discussing traffic, such as how much traffic volume was a minor collector designed to carry. Mayor Nicoli suggested that Mr. Hansen attend the task force meetings, as they would be open to the public. Staff would present appropriate background information at the meetings. > Joe Afrangi, 12470 SW North Dakota, spoke for a speedy process. He said that he did not want this to drag on because the lives of families were at stake. He invited the Council to back out of his driveway at 7:30 a.m. in order to gain an appreciation of what really went on. f f CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JULY 8, 1997 - PAGE 4 € E: t i Francisco E. Lopez, 12560 SW Summererest Drive, volunteered for the Task Force as a i f resident in the area. 5. VISION TASK FORCE UPDATE 1 i Ms. Newton reported that at the last Vision Task Force meeting, they met with the leaders of the t Action Committees to present the individual target areas and goals. They have finished the year ` under budget and on schedule. Loreen Mills, Administrative Risk Analyst, explained that the Action Committees were composed of City staff, technical people from ODOT, school resource people, parks & recreation people, and others to represent the variety of viewpoints. Each committee had between 12 to 15 members. She reviewed the Action Committee process to develop an action plan to achieve the direction set by the Task Force. She mentioned the first public report in January 1998. Ms. Newton pointed out that each Committee would be structured differently to accommodate the particular issue under discussion. j Ms. Newton projected that the Committees would finish up in September. Councilor Rohlf t expressed concern about timeliness, citing the grant process. Ms. Newton explained that the Committees were developing strategies, not necessarily taking action. Ms. Mills pointed out that some actions could take three to four years to implement, others a couple of months. 1 a Councilor Scheckla asked for clarification on the process. Ms. Newton said that staff served as resource people only with the Committee members themselves generating ideas and strategies. She said that staff would inform the Committees if a suggested strategy had legal obstacles but pointed out that the Committee might decide to change the law. Staff's intent was to provide f enough information to allow the Committee to make a good decision. o d a 6. NON AGENDA ITEMS l: 7.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION 1 It is recommended that Council initiate vacation proceedings by adopting the attached resolution. INFORMATION SUMMARY i In the City vacation process of streets, easements, and other public dedicated areas, the City Council may begin the ~Yocess by passing a resolution to schedule a public hearing to consider such requests. Michael Magnus, representing Pacific Corp., is requesting that the City Council initiate vacation proceedings for approximately 4,172 square feet of public right-of-way adjacent to SW Pacific Highway, south of SW Park Street and adjacent to Tigard Marketplace. In 1986, a street vacation (Ordinance 86-19) was approved to vacate a portion of a frontage road along SW Pacific Highway, to facilitate a commercial development planned for the area. ' In 1987, a Site Development Review (SDR 87-15) was approved to allow the construction of a 153,180 square foot retail center, commonly known as Tigard Marketplace. Since the 1986 street vacation only vacated a portion of the frontage road right-of-way, a portion of the right-of-way remained. Within that right-of-way is a landscaped area that is adjacent to the access road leading into the Tigard Marketplace center. The landscape area supplements the t landscaping of the center and is maintained by the center. The petitioner is requesting that the City of Tigard a initiate vacation proceedings to vacate a portion of the remaining frontage road right-of-way. This portion of the right-of-way contains the landscape island. The landscape island contains approximately 8,617 square feet. j Approximately 4,172 square feet is owned by the City of Tigard and approximately 4,445 square feet is owned by y the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The petitioner has contacted ODOT to begin the ODOT 4 vacation procedure. The City will be contacting and coordinating with ODOT through the City's request for I a comments process. There is a potential issue if ODOT does not vacate their portion of the right-of-way. The City will need to evaluate the vacation decision based upon the outcome of the ODOT vacation process. 7 1 Appropriate agencies shall be contacted for comments, prior to developing a report for Council consideration. .1 i \city%vidcVum\vacigmktsum ! 7 t, S'.

CITY OF TIGARD'~' C NOTICE OF DECISION SDR 87-15 PORTLAND FIXTURE APPLICATION: A request by Portland Fixture Limited Partnership for approval of a 153,180 square foot retail center and related facilities on property zoned C-G (Commercial General) and located on the southeast side of Pacific Highway 700 feet S south of SW Garrett Street (WCTM 2S1 2CC tax lot 100, 200, 500, 800, 801, 900 and 901). DECISION: Notice is hereby given that the Planning Director for the City of Tigard has APPROVED the above application subject to certain conditions. The findings and conclusions on which the Director based his decision are as noted below. 1 A. FINDING OF FACT j =4 1. Background r i In 1982 the Tigard City Council approved a revision (Resolution q82-132) to the NPO pl Comprehensive Plan and a Zone Change for these properties from Commercial Professional/General Commercial to General Commercial (CPR 4-82/ZC 18-82). This change was approved subject to several conditions. Three Sensitive Lands permits have been granted by the Hearings Officer from this property. M 3-02 and SL 6-85 approvals were valid for one year but each expired before land alteration was done. The decision for the third approval, SL 87-08, was granted recently and will expire June 23, 1988 if not acted upon. l { i A Site Development Review (SDR 8-06) was submitted in March, 1986 for { approval of a 157,000 square foot retail center and related facilities. Approval with conditions was granted in April, 1986 but expired after one year. 2. Vicinity Information The property is adjacent to Pacific Highway along the northwestern frontage j and properties zoned C-G lie on the opposite side of the street. Other parcels zoned C-G are situated immediately to the northeast and southwest along Pacific Highway. The area to the east and south is committed to E ! single family and multiple family residences. The homes to the east and southeast are zoned R-4.5 (Single Family Residential, 4.5 units per acre) q and R-3.5 (Single Family Residential, 3.5 units per acre) respectively and the apartlurfls along the remainder of the southern boundary are 71 non-conforming units which are zoned C-G. 3. Site Information and Proposal Description The subject properties are presently undeveloped except for one 4,644 square foot retail building. A drainageway slopes downhill toward the s southern end of the parcel. The applicants are proposing to develop the properties with a 153,180 square foot shopping center called Tigard East. It is intended that the j center will contain a grocery store, drug store, restaurant and assorted shops. i NOTICE OF DECISION - SDR 87-15 - PORTLAND FIXTURE - PAGE 1 k MEOW 7771 I The site plans submitted for this project are similar to SDR 8-86 regarding building placement and site design. There has been a reduction in the total building floor area and adjustments have been made in placing fewer Z loading and trash areas in the rear of the pick-up property near a residential areas. _a 4. Agency and NPO Comments The State Highway Division has reviewed this proposal and state that they :y are familiar with this development since they have reviewed it several times. The present proposal appears fine to them. The Tualatin Rural Fire Protection District has considered the proposal and has responded that any new traffic signal to be installed must be equipped with opticom controls. They are somewhat concerned that this size of development could cause the 3000 gpm fire flow requirement to be exceeded. It is required that an automatic sprinkler protection system be incorporated into all buildings in this development. 3 NPO ql considered the proposal and has offered the following recommendations: 1. Fencing should be solid wood (with no gaps) or made of concrete or brick and 8 feet high. 2. There should be adequate sound deflection of heat/air conditioning systems. _ oil% 3. Truck traffic in rear of buildings should be limited in their time of operation. The Engineering Division has provided the following findings: _ 1. Notice of Final Order SL 87-08 became final on July 6, 1987. j 4 2. Site Development Review SDR 08-86 expired on April 21, 1987. 3. The proposed development fronts State of Oregon right-of-way, namely - i SW Pacific Highway; a frontage road exists therealong. 4. An existing City 8" sanitary sewerage main-line facility and storm C drainageway traverses applicant's site, both draining generally northeasterly. f - a 5. The applicant proposes to develop a retail shopping center with two primary (signalized) access points and one right in - right out minor ! access point. The applicant further proposes to realign the existing public sanitary sewerage line and install a closed conduit storm sewer line, traversing the site, to enhance public operation and maintenance thereof while facilitating site structure layout. 6. Further, the applicant has acknowledged awareness of the need for (and is already participating in) action to vacate a portion of public roadway running "through" the property, to improve the portion of roadway running from the property to SW Park Street intersection a 33 3 ;i NOTICE OF DECISION - SDR 87-15 - PORTLAND FIXTURE - PAGE 2 L~ L.~ (providing access to adjacent tracts), to acquire fronting surplus property from the State, to landscape the frontage, to modify an existing traffic signal and add a new traffic signal, in an endeavor to 3 develop the site. j The Building Division, Portland General Electric and the Tigard Water ! District all reviewed this proposal and have no objections to it. No other comments were received concerning this proposal.. 1 i B. ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSION The proposed project is consistent with Community Development Code provisions pertaining to vehicular access, building setbacks, lot coverage, visual clearance and parking. The following topics warrant further discussion regarding conformance with Code requirements. 1. Landscaping and Buffering The minimum landscaping requirement for developed properties in the C-G zone is 15%. According to the- Site Plan and Planting Plan provided by the applicants, this minimum requirement will be met. These plans indicate that a 15 foot wide buffer strip wi'il be provided along all properties that are residentially zoned. j As noted in the staff report SDR 8-86 concern remains whether the ii proposed fence will adequately deal with the potential for adverse I, A noise impacts. The Site Plan indicates three loading and/or trash collection areas which are to be located behind the proposed buildings - and along the rear property lines. Although this number has been 3 reduced from six such locations proposed in SDR 8-86, the potential for adverse noise impacts have not necessarily been reduced. NPO ql /j suggested in SDR 8-86 that the fence should include wooden slats and 1f that no loading or trash pick-up should occur prior to 7 AM. I As proposed, the screening, buffering and fencing will have minimal r- effect relating to sound deflection or absorption. To better serve the intent of the Code to minimize commercial impacts spilling into residential areas and consistent with a condition of approval stated in a SDR 8-86, it is recommended that a 8 foot high fence or masonry wall be situated along all residentially zoned ! parcels. In addition, a loading and delivery curfew between the hours of 10 PM and 6 AM should be observed. 2. Noise 'j a A second noise issue unrelated to the mitigation of loading and trash 1 collection impacts concerns the heating, ventilation, air and cooling (HVAC) units to be used in heating and cooling the buildings. The Site Plan has identified the proposed siting of various structures on the property but details are lacking with regard to HVAC unit placements on Y the buildings. Since HVAC units are sources of potentially constant and incessant noise, sound mitigation controls (such as enclosures) should be located around these units to diminish impacts on nearby residents. NOTICE OF DECISION - SDR 87-15 - PORTLAND FIXTURE - PAGE 3 L~ 3. Trees SDR 8-86 had proposed 592 parking spaces while the current proposal provides 589. Based upon the number of parking spaces in a development, one tree for every seven spaces must be planted in or near + the parking area. Because the original landscaping plan showed approximately 60 trees when 85 trees were required, once again staff would like to review this aspect of the plan since the present landscaping plan is almost identical to the original. 4. Signage i a No plans for signage were submitted with this application although SDR 8-86 addressed allowable signage previously. The shopping center 1 complex is entitled to one multi-faced, free-standing sign. j Contact with the applicant revealed the desire to be considered for an increase in sign area of 50% as permitted in the Community Development Code when such a request is made during the Site Development Review i." process. This amount of increase allows sufficient sign area to advertise the various tenants in a new development. An increase in height of 25% may also be gained when the " . sign's visual appeal and overall design quality would be served..." It is expected that the shopping center will have at least six tenants { and perhaps as many as ten or twelve. Therefore, staff supports justification for an increase in sign size. Since no sign designs and plans were submitted and since the applicant provides no reasons for an increase in sign height, staff finds no justification for permitting an - increase in height. 1 C. DECISION f The Planning Director approves SDR 87-15 subject to the following conditions: ' 1. UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, ALL CONDITIONS SHALL BE MET PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF ! BUILDING PERMITS. 2. The design and configuration of improvements impacting SW Pacific Highway including accessways and signalization, shall be reviewed and approved by the City of Tigard and Oregon Department of Transportation.

Agenda item No-- Meetin _ .7~ MEMORANDUM CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON i TO: City Council City Manager FRONt: Gus Duenas%-'J City Engineer .:t DATE: July 2, 1997 i t SUBJECT: SW North Dakota Street Progress Report f I~ I presented the findings of the speed study performed in February 1997 during the City Council Study Session on June 17, 1997. The study focused on SW North Dakota between 121st Avenue j and Springwood Drive. The results of the study indicated that 85th percentile speeds on that street had remained relatively constant at approximately 4 miles per hour over the posted speed limit during the past few years. Based on the study, the traffic islands installed on SW North 1 Dakota are effective at reducing traffic speeds. The initial 85th percentile speed of 35 mph in 9 1990 was reduced to 29 mph after installation of the islands. This is a reduction in speed of 6 _ mph, which is typically achieved by speed humps. l Despite the results of the study, we realize that there are still serious problems with speeding and volume of traffic on that street. Many of the residents are not happy with the traffic islands and stated during the study session that the islands introduced more problems than they solved. The existing islands were not all installed at the same time. The rectangular islands were placed in 1 1989. Because of continuing complaints, numerous options to resolve the problems were examined after the installation of the islands in 1989. As a result, the circular islands were added to the street in 1991. Council members expressed a strong interest in reviewing the options proposed at that time with the intention of further discussing what actions need to be taken to resolve the problems on that street. The input of the residents during study session on June 17th is that the street is serving as a hyrycc for rPainnal tryffc. The trwiffc volumes are slightly higher than that expected for a - minor collector. The curvature of the street as it proceeds from 121st Avenue to Scholls Ferry Road is such that at least one resident on the inside part of the curve cannot safely back out into the street from the driveway. In addition, there was a contention that a previous master plan had not shown North Dakota connecting to Scholls Ferry Road, but that a change to allow that connection was made later without due notice. j Council scheduled further discussion on SW North Dakota to continue on July 8, 1997 and a i directed that residents of SW North Dakota, to include the residents along Anton Drive, be given `3 I i • L~ l+ 1 notice.of the scheduled discussion. Attached as Appendix A is a copy of the notice prepared and a list of the residents of the area, including Anton Drive, that were seat these notices. The notices were mailed out on July 1, 1997. The following sequence of events that led to the development of SW North Dakota as it is today is presented as background information, together with the options that were considered in 1990 for resolving the problems on that street: Background I Prior to the development of the Comprehensive Transportation Plan, Tigard used the Neighborhood Planning Organization system. That segment of SW North Dakota Street was in :j the NPO #7 Community Plan. The major problem with the NPO system was that the various i NPO areas developed independent plans that were not coordinated citywide. NPO #7 clearly 1 intended SW North Dakota to connect to Springwood Drive, which was to connect to 121st " I Avenue. The City's Comprehensive Plan superseded the NPO #7 Plan in 1983. Development of the adopted plan took at least a year and a half and there was ample opportunity for residents to comment on the plan at that time. The Comprehensive Plan recognized that the lack of developed areas west of 121 st Street required development of a number of collector street connections. One j of the collector streets clearly identified for connection to Scholls Ferry is the extension of North Dakota Street west of 121st Avenue to Scholls Ferry Road. The detailed information regarding NPO #7 and the City's 1983 Comprehensive Plan is attached as Appendix B. An aerial photograph of that area in September 1984 showed an orchard west of 121st. Another I " aerial photograph in March 1986 showed SW North Dakota already constructed with a few houses in the three cul-de-sacs north of that street. The apartment complex was just newly j constructed eliminating any future extension of Springwood Drive through that lot to 121st . Avenue. In short, the construction of SW North Dakota from 121st Avenue through to Scholls Ferry Road preceded the construction of the homes along that street. Anyone who bought homes i in that area moved in with full knowledge that the street connected to Scholls Ferry Road. The two aerial photographs with corresponding dates are attached as Appendix C. I The installation of the traffic islands began in 1989; however, there were still complaints after installation of the islands. In 1990, a consultant firm (JRH Transportation Engineering) was contracted to review the traffic concerns on the street and develop potential solutions to the problem. At that time, the installation of traffic circles and closure of the street north of Springwood Drive were two options suggested by the neighborhood. The study by the consultant resulted in the development of a variety of options that were considered prior to implementation j of additional measures on that road. The option that was eventually selected and implemented I was installation of a traffic circle at the intersection of SW North Dakota Street with each side street. excepting only SW Tony Court and Summercrest Drive. The City Council at that time was opposed to closure of the connection to Scholls Ferry Road and fully expected that the selected solution would resolve the matter once and for all. The selected option was accepted by the residents of the area at that time. Concerns about the safety hazards introduced by the circular SW North Dakota Street Progress Report d Page 2 I ' J fi j ',island at the intersection of Springwood Drive and SW North Dakota resulted in the subsequent removal of that island a few months after installation. Alternatives Except for the alternative to install traffic islands to slow traffic speeds, the various alternatives resulting from the study proposed either partial or total closure of SW North Dakota to through traffic. One of the options closed North Dakota and routed traffic through Anton Drive. Another option routed the North Dakota traffic through Springwood Drive and closed the connection to l Scholls Ferry Road. On the surface, none of the alternatives proposed appear readily acceptable. Closure of the connection to Scholls Ferry was strongly opposed at the time by some of the residents of the area and by one of the businesses. The alternatives considered and the pros and cons for some of the alternatives are attached as Appendix D. F 3 Recommendations l ~t • I recommend that a task force be established by Council to review in-depth the j options proposed by the previous study and to develop any other options that may be deemed feasible to resolve the problems on this street. This task force should include representatives from City Staff, City Council, residents of the area, and the businesses - that are located at the north end of the street. The task force should be given a reasonable period to examine the potential solutions and report back to Council on the findings and recommended solution. 3 o I further request that Council provide direction on what solutions would be acceptable from the task force. If closure of the street and hence the connection to Scholls Ferry 4 Road is not an acceptable option, that should be made clear to the task force at the onset of the effort. Closure of the street would require an amendment to the Transportation Plan, and would also run counter to the City's efforts at establishing connectivity wherever feasible for better distribution of traffic flow. l It is clear that there is a continuing problem at SW North Dakota. It is time to take a closer look ' j at the possible remedies and reach a solution that would be acceptable to both the City and the I various parties that are affected by the traffic volumes and speeds through the area. The City Staff stands ready to participate in the process and actively seek feasible solutions to the problems on this sueet. 1 Attachments (Appendices A-D) clcmrwnoEswMooars.ooc j SW North Dakota Street Progress Report Page 3 L~ ® July 1,' 1997 NOTICE . 4 City Council Business Meeting Tuesday, July 8, 1997 7:30 P.M.

TRAFFIC AND TRANSPORTATION POLICIES in the plan regarding North Dakota read as follows: h • "POLICY 19. It is intended that the collector that extends NW from 121st and the extension of N. Dakota Street that joins with the extension of Spring-wood Drive, should not be a major bypass that would carry cross community traffic across from Scholls to the Tigard Community, to the area of Greenburg Road. This should be implemented by stop-signs and the maintenance of existing off-set intersections. • POLICY 20. Access onto Scholls Ferry Road shall be limited to the major collectors indicated on the approved NPO #7 Plan map and the approved access for the commercial development to be located at 121st and Scholls 'j Ferry Road." The 1983 Comprehensive Plan In 1983, the NPO #7 Community Plan was superseded with the adoption of the city's Comprehensive Plan. In the transportation section of volume 1 of the plan, the need for new collector streets was addressed as follows: NPO #7: Due to the lack of developed areas west of 121st Strect, there are a number of collector street connections needed in the NPO #7 area. All of the collector connections would be minor collectors. These would include: 11 1. The extension of Springwood Drive west of 121st Street to 130th; 2. The extension of North Dakota Street west of 121st to Scholls Ferry Road; E•r~ 3. The extension of 130th from Scholls Ferry Road to 128th and to Falcon Rise j Drive; and APPENDIX B Page 1 j i s I i 4. The extension of Murray Boulevard to 135th as provided in the NPO #3 section. i The transportation plan map that reflects North Dakota Street west of 121st as a collector was adopted by City Council May 9, 1983. No one testified in support or opposition at the city council meeting. However. Yvonne Larson, a former NPO #7 member did testify in opposition of the extension of North Dakota to Scholls Ferry at the Planning Commission meeting on January 18, 1983. The site development review decision for the Meadow Creek Apartments refers to the Comprehensive Plan calling for a minor collector street between Scholls Ferry and North Dakota. Condition #2: of the Site Design Review approval reads as follows: C. DECISION The Planning Director approves DSR 22-84 subject to the following conditions: 1. UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED. ALL CONDITIONS SHALL BE MET i PRIOR TO ISSUANCE OF BUILDING PERMITS. j 2. Standard full and half-street improvements to minor collector standards { including sidewalks, curbs, street lights, and driveway aprons shall be provided along the frontaee of the Sorrento Road-North Dakota Street extension. A cul-de-sac meeting- City standards shall be provided at the end of the Springwood Drive. The local street coming from Summerlake shall connect with the collector street and shall be constructed to the City standards for a local street. All the improvements noted above shall be completed prior to occupancy. 1^.crrYW0eN0APB.D0C " i I I i i APPENDIX B Page 2 i - I i 1 : j .f E tit. ~ ; r ~ ' ~.r ~ 1 _ •v,+ W n :'t J r .

Monahan, City Manager DATE: July 2, 1997 ! SUBJECT: Metro Initiative Attached is a copy of the draft "An Act to Prohibit Regional Governments." Mike Burton distributed this to the Washington County Managers last week. It was re-filed on June 24, 1997. The new draft contains various changes to the original. Among the changes noted by Mike are: (2.)(c)(i) - Calls for transferring responsibility for "park, open space or zoo owned or j{{ operated" by the regional government. Thus, Metro's owned facilities would be given ;J to cities or counties to own and operate. This could result in the City of Portland receiving the zoo to operate, along with the ability to tax regularly for capital and other expenses. Another issue is the reference to "any bonded indebtedness." Mike feels this means counties would be able to impose a property tax outside the limit to pay debts. Cn thr countyy resp risible for the Convention Center (Multnomah) would be able to a() _ outside the metro area and charge property owners in other parts of the county who 1 now do not pay for this metropolitan area center. j ;i (2)(c)(ii) - The MERC would continue to operate until the Legislature creates a new 'i commission to handle facilities. Thus, MERC operates while the Legislature decides what to do. The Legislature is directed to merely create another entity. j. IOWA i Memo. to Council r.. July 2, 1997 Page Two Mike suggests that if this process is adopted, at least four new districts will need to be created; i, solid waste, transportation, zoo, region-wide park district. Each would have a group of elected officials. He also feels the initiative would effectively eliminate the UGB, leaving decisions on UGB amendments to either the state or individual cities.

In May 1996, the city began collecting a park SDC for non-residential development of $49 per employee. Until now, this charge has been collected when the building owner applies for a certificate of occupancy for the tenants or when the building owner applies for a building permit for tenant modifications. Under the new procedure, effective July 28, 1997, the fee will be collected at the time of the issuance of the permit for the building shell. The fee will be a one-time charge based on the applicant's estimate of the number of building employees. Subsequent park SDC fees will not be collected. The reason for this change is to make the park SDC easier to administer. Existing tenants often shift to make room for new tenants. This has made it difficult to track which employees already have been accounted for. The new procedure will bring the application of the multi-tenant SDCs into line with the procedure established for other types of I commercial/industrial development and help reduce the potential for under- or over- charging that can result from inaccurate or incomplete tracking information. It will increase efficiency and improve turn -around-time. k The decision to change the point of collection will not change the basis for determining f the fee. Self-reporting will continue to be used as the method of determining the ( . number of employees. Likewise, the amount of the charge will remain unchanged at S49 per employee. If you have any questions or comments regarding the new procedure, please call Duane Roberts at 639-4171. UlryNdds&.pto 'P . j t MEMORANDUM CITY OF TIGARD TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: William A. Monahan, City Manager DATE: July 2, 1997 I' 1 I SUBJECT: Balloon Festival Costs During the recent Festival of Balloons, the City incurred costs in Engineering, Public Works, Police, and Administration. Staff has calculated the costs associated with the City contribution _ a to the event. In addition to City contributions, volunteer help from local corrnunity law enforcement agencies was employed. The breakdown of expenses and functions is as follows: f. Enoineerino Staff was involved in surveying and laying out parking on adjacent land ' - and school property. A total of 41 hours of staff time was contributed to the event. Four employees spent time on the event, at a total cost of $696.03. Public Works Staff worked with the event organizer before and throughout the event to make sure the City facility was ready to accommodate the huge daily crowds. Fields were mowed, the stage was set up, sisgns made and set up, barricades placed, and facilities repaired. The major exper.,,e and time commitment was clean-up during and after the event. In total, 818.75 hours were contributed to the event, at a labor cost of $18,963.00. Of the 818.75 hours, 340 were devoted to Festival clean- up and restroom cleaning. Material costs were $2,810.67, electrician costs $1,143.35, and soccer field restoration work $5,687.50. A total of $9,641.42 of out-of-pocket expenses were contributed by the City. Total Public Works expense for the event was $28,604.42. Memo to Council July 2, 1997 Page Two Police Police contributed 432.75 hours to the event, at a total cost of $11,995.83. Of the amount, $6,673.59 was overtime pay. We also received 708 hours of volunteer time from our Reserve Officers, two troopers from the Oregon State Police, and Reserves from Beaverton, King City, Sherwood, Tualatin, and West Linn. Volunteers from Pacific Northwest Search and Rescue also contributed. I A mini ~ Cathy Wheatley devoted hours throughout the months leading up to the Festival to coordinate the City staff involvement. She and other Administration employees staffed the City of Tigard tent on the Festival e grounds throughout the activities. A total of 16 hours of staff time was devoted to staffing the tent, at a cost of $265.14. ;j - Total oct The total estimated cost of City services to the Balloon Festival are as follows: Engineering $ 696.03 Public Works $28,604.42 Police $11,995.83 j Administration $ 265.14 Total $41,561,42 I The above information is presented to show the actual cost of the City's participation in the event. The figures do not, however, reflect the time devoted by staff from several departments throughout the year doing the planning and coordination of the event. In j addition, the volunteer hours given by employees are not shown. City employees, led by Kathy Davis, volunteered many hours to the event souvenir sales. Now that cost figures are in, I suggest that we have an informal discussion with event f coordinator Bruce Ellis to review options to reduce City costs. Bruce has already stated that i the event would like to contribute inward the cost of some repai.*s and improvements to the park which are required because of the event. Staff also has some preliminary ideas of ways to affect costs. f 7 We will contact Bruce Ellis to determine his availability to attend either the July 22 or August 12 or August 19 Council meeting.

Martin, Jr. I 12265 SW 72nd Avenue J Tigard, OR 97223 Subject: Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Issues; h Tigard Triangle pear Gordon: This letter summarizes and elaborates on the Metro staff comments made at our meeting of June 2 regarding issues associated with implementation of the Urban Growth Management Functional Plan (UGMFP) in the Tigard Triangle area. In the meeting and in this letter, we are attempting to assist the parties in implementing the UGMFP. Our ] comments explain our approach to administering the UGMFP provisions. Resolutions of a any disputes or application of specific provisions must be addressed by MPAC and the ! - - Metro Council. 'r General Comments As noted at the meeting, the authority for land use and transportation implementation j actions within this area resides with the City of Tigard and with the Oregon Department 1 of Transportation (ODOT). The City has ultimate land use approval authority and i both the City and ODOT have responsibility for the area's street and highway system. We will be contacting them both to update them on our conclusions and clarifications, identify any additional issues, and determine if additional action is necessary. We also noted at the meeting that the UGMFP was intended as a set of interim measures l to help begin implementing the Region 2040 Growth Concept. The UGMFP implements the regional adoption of the 2040 Growth Concept by requiring local adoption of ! specific revisions to Comprehensive Plans and zoning and development codes. Further, local elected officials, through MPAC, requested that Metro adopt the UGMFP 1 re^ nts. To that extent, the UG,v rP is not strictly a Metro document. It was developed through consensus of all jurisdictions and the public. The UGMFP represents a set of measures that are minimum standards. However, Metro staff would generally support instances where local jurisdictions exceed the minimums where a public process has determined it appropriate. Finally, we also recognize that many of these requirements are new and do not have a history of implementation techniques. We therefore expect a certain amount of flexibility in meeting the letter of these requirements, while also expecting that the intent of these requirements will be maintained. i l - o rw.F i 1 Cordon Martin, Jr. June 23, 1997 Page 2 Specific Comments Following are our responses to specific comments and questions raised at the meeting. 1. Comment: The group asked for clarification as to the general intent, purpose, and benefits of the Design Standards for Street Connectivity as required in Title 6, Section 3 of the UGNfFP. Response: The UGNIFP notes that the effectiveness of the regional transportation system is impacted when local travel is restricted by a lack of connecting routes. Local traffic is then forced onto the regional network. In addition, the preliminary results of Metro's Street Design Study (currently underway) show that street connectivity reduces vehicle miles of travel by providing direct routes to the collector and arterial system; and that additional j connections are conducive to increased use of alternative modes (more direct access to transit, walking and biking is less circuitous, etc.). i 2. Comment: Public street rights-of-way and other development requirements j { (landscaping, sidewalks) will render the properties in the area undevelopable. [ Response: Metro staff noted at the meeting that we have supported the 1 concept of "skinny" streets in the past as one way to help maximize densities j within developments and to avoid over-building streets where traditional rights-of- way seem excessive. For example, the City of Portland allows rights-of-way as f narrow as 46 feet in some areas. This is significantly less than normal minimum t j M right-of-way requirements of 60 feet for local streets. We would support exploring r Vy the option of skinny streets with the City of Tigard for streets internal to commercial and/or mixed use developments within the Triangle. s We also noted that pedestrian connections (primarily sidewalks) are required from { streets to building entryways under the Transportation Planning Rule. Those connections should already be included in the developable land calculations. Similarly, landscape requirements are generally the rule, not the exception within most local codes, and have been for a number of years. Landscape requirements j should also already be included in any developable land calculations and should not be a surprise to most developers. 3. Comment Can "T" intersections be included as part of the 8 to 20 street ` [ connections per mile calculation (street connections at intervals no less than every 660 j feet)? Response: We noted that the UG.:LIrP doe., not spc^fically address Uds question. However, our preference is for full intersections in order to maximize I traffic operations and safety. We also understand that circumstances may result in a few partial connections' onnections in certain areas. Whether the intersections are full or i partial, we would expect the 8 to 20 standard to be met on both sides of a street j where conditions allow. Title 6, Section 3.A.11-L and Section 3.B. describe the situations where closed street systems may be necessary. These situations may result due to topography, pre-existing development, barriers such as railroads or freeways, or environmental constraints such as major streams or riven. l 1 I Gordon Martin, Jr. June :3, 1997 Page 3 i 4. Comment: Can private streets be included as part of the 8 to 20 street connections per mile calculation? Response: Public streets are the preference. However, private streets may be allowed but should generally have the appearance of a public right of way and be adequately constructed to accommodate the size and weight of vehicles common to the street function and underlying zoning. By the term "appearance," the street should include curb and sidewalk, appropriate lane markings, and should connect with other private or public streets. To be counted, private streets must allow free 1 public access and circulation. S• Comment What was intended by the term "local origin" under the Performance l ' Option of Title 6, Section 3.B.2? l Response: As a set of minimum standards, Section 3.B2 was written for residential areas or mixed use areas that include residential. It was understood t that in those areas, buildings are set either at the street or at a short, insignificant ° distance back from the property line consistent with State Transportation Planning i Rule requirements. There was no need to differentiate whether local origin was the i property line or the front door. When drafted, this section was not written for large commercial only land uses. As I stated at the meeting, if Metro staff were 1 i asked to re-draft the language for large commercial developments, we would likely 1 recommend that the front door be the point of local origin. With the front door being the point of local origin, it would ensure a shortest path for pedestrians to a designated collector or arterial street Any re-draft of the UGMFP would require MPAC and Metro Council action I hope this letter helps you and the meeting participants better understand our Functional Plan and will help facilitate the process for development in the Tigard Triangle. As we agreed, I would appreciate you circulating this letter to the other non- 1 y staff meeting participants. If you have questions or if I may be of further help, please call me at 797-1743.

Monahan, City Manager I - DATE: July 2, 1997 SUBJECT: Arbor Heights Update The Arbor Heights Apartment complex is progressing well. Area residents are continuing to raise questions of when construction will be complete, units occupied, 109th open at the top of the hill, and other conditions met. I expect that once the units are occupied and traffic is generated to and from the apartments, calls and questions will be a daily occurrence. Staff will provide regular updates of the status. At this time, we know: > According to the Planning Division, two-thirds of the site appears to have at least two months of work (at a minimum) to complete before occupying. > The other one-third is close to ready for occupying, but no Certificate of Occupancy has been issued. > Street improvements and utilities are nearly complete. , A copy of Mark Roberts' summary memo is attached, as well as a letter responding to issues raised by Marge Davenport, a neighbor who has consistently expressed concern about this project for years. An issue of stop signs has also been raised. A copy of Walter Cosgrave's letter is attached. Engineering is reviewing the issue now.

There are portions of the meet that are at 12% grade, but the majority of the roadway is between 8% and 100/6. The relatively steep grades in this 3 street are not unusual for developments that are situated along a hillside. The major curve in the ' section where Old 109th Avenue transitions into the new Royalty Parkway has a centerline radius of 185 feet, which exceeds the minimum standard. The roadway does have a posted speed Ij limit of 25 MPH. i s'. Connectivity throughout the City for better distribution of traffic is becoming increasingly important. Tigard's Comprehensive Plan Transportation Map indicates that Royalty Parkway is to be extended as designed to tie into SW 109th Avenue. The Arbor Heights plan accomplishes i our Comprehensive Plan requirements. Our traffic calming efforts are now primarily focused on the installation of speed humps *.o reduce traffic speeds through residential neighborhoods. Properly designed and constructed speed humps do reduce speeds through a neighborhood We typically would install these humps in local residential streets and minor collectors. While 109th Avenue through Arbor Heights is a minor collector and has a posted speed limit of 25 MPH, it does not qualify for speed hump installation. Speed humps installed on sharp curves or on grades greater than 8% would create safety hazards that outweigh any benefits derived from the humps. As I mentioned earlier, the grades on the roadway range between 8% to 12%. Enclosed for your information is the extensive criteria we now follow for rating the streets that need speed humps. This criteria has evolved over 13125 SW Hcll Blvd., Tigcrd, OR 97223 (503) 639-4171 TDD (503) 684-2772 J the past few years as the demand for speed humps has drastically increased. With residents of over 50 segments of streets in Tigard expressing strong interest in the program, there is now terrific competition among the neighborhoods for inclusion in the City-funded portion of the program. I have discussed your concerns with the Chief of Police, Ron Goodpaster. He has not received any complaints from this area, speeding or otherwise. If you observe any such problems occurring in that area, please give him a call. He is willing to initiate speed limit enforcement in that area if it can be shown that there is a problem along that stretch of road. rj In summary, the roadway design of SW Royalty Parkway meets our minimum design standards ! and the connection of that street to SW 109th Avenue was accomplished to satisfy the provisions of our Transportation Plan Map. Speed hump installation is not a viable option along that steep i stretch of road. Speed limit enforcement may be one method to curb speeding in that area. ! 1 If you have any questions on the road design or on the speed hump program, please call me. Sincerely, USTIN P.

This could be another example of my complaint about the lack of concern of these staffs for citizens. Another concern about 109th: The kids have already discovered the joy of racing down the hill and seeing how fast they can snake the new and dangerous corner as the street goes into Arbor Heights develop- l ' r ment. In conversation with Arbor Heil-hts Devlopment manager Nlike, he has expressed concern about the potential danger opening this street will create. Manv cars will be leaving the apartment corn- ` ? plea onto 109th, and entering with many left turns (both ways) and no I center rum lanes. In addition to the hazard of the sharp turn (if they miss they will shoot off into space, if they don 7t crash into a car coming up the hill,) the potential for interserion accidents at the apartment entrances (and also for me) is great. The Ciry Council, in all its wisdom, would be pru- dent to lease 109th closed at the top to avoid killing people! j If staff can convince them this is not a viable solution-then speed ' i buntos should be authorized. and speed posted at 20 or (of course - this can't be enforced.) As an on-site observer, I kttow• that 109th has always been a challenge to motorcycle riders, beefed up pick-up drivers and others who are them an even grater testing something.

City "$a_gineer City o igard, Oregon 13125 SW all Blvd. Tigard, O 97223 . Dear Sir: This will confirm my comments to Mr. Rager several weeks ago, at which time I requested that consideration be given to installing stop signs on S.W. Royalty Parkway where it intersects with S.W. Naeve St. in order to minimize the danger of serious - injury at that location. As you know, stop signs have been installed on Naeve at that intersection. Mr. Rager suggested "that I direct my request to you. Because of the restricted angles of the northeast and ! southwest corners, because of the slope of Royalty from north to tf south and, because of the curve of Royalty to both the north and 1 the south, this intersection presents a hazardous situation for t those crossing or entering Royalty from Naeve St. It is realized that Royalty was designed to carry the expected flow of traffic from the high-density apartment area to the north. However, Naeve St. is an important route for Summerfield area residents, t many of whom are older citizens with restricted peripheral vision, and for many other motorists. Traffic at this intersection will become much heavier, too heavy to be safely a managed by stop signs only on Naeve. It is also realized that we j. cannot have stop signs on every corner, but this is a unlcrae _ situation of which you would not have been aware at the time the plans were developed. A The writer has no qualifications as a traffic engineer; but, based upon rather extensive experience in the handling of litigation involving injuries and deaths arising from intersection accidents and, based upon my own daily use of 69447_1-- a~ Mr. Agustin P. Duenas, P.E. June 27, 1997 Page 2 Naeve St., it appears to me that, until stop signs are placed on Royalty, a real danger exists at this intersection. Fast-moving southbound vehicles on the rather steep down slope of Royalty are already a hazard. Other respected Summerfield residents have indicated that they share this concern. The adding of stop signs on Royalty Parkway (at little cost and with minimal inconvenience for drivers using Royalty) would, I think, also protect the city from claims that it did not correct this hazard. Although a public body is generally immune from liability based upon discretionary acts (such as the design and signalizing of intersections), it is my understanding of the { 5 law that a public body and its officials may be held liable for failure to correct a situation which is shown to be dangerous. j See Little v Wiamier, at al, 303 OR 580, 739 )2 564 (1987) in which the Oregon Supreme Court held that the state could be found liable for failing to correct an intersection danger by additional proper signs or controls. I would be happy to discuss this matter with you if you should desire. I take this opportunity to commend all of those responsible for the administration of the affairs of the City of Tigard for What I consider to be a truly admirable job. Very truly yours, r, Walter J.

Few committees are meeting; long lists of bills face each House for floor sessions and people are actually discussing what they intend to do after session. As usual, though, significant issues for city officials remain to be decided. Legislators must still complete final action on bills to implement Ballot Measure 50, the $1 billion transportation package, and more tax breaks for business. House and Senate leaders have been meeting as a'super-committee' trying to agree on final budget numbers, while a smaller *supergroup' considers the transportation package. In both cases, the differences don't appear to have changed significantly. The House and Senate remain several million dollars apart on the K-12 education budget and the Oregon Health Plan, with the House seeking the higher figures. The flexible funding in the transportation package continues to be the sticking point in an agreement between the House, Senate, and Governor John Krtzhaber. If this issue is not resolved in some manner over the next few days, it is likely that legislators will either adopt a 'maintenance only- - proposal or simply walk away from the issue completely. In neither case will they have done their job. Wen legislators do finally adjourn, city officials wanting to know the fate of a particular issue will have a difficult time finding League lobby staff for a few days. It is our intent to come back to the office within a few days of adjournment to send out a final Bulletin. We will, as usual, be producing our "Summary of the 1997 Legislative Session' and touring the state in the Fall to discuss the changes you will face in operating your city. To all of you who walked out of meetings to take our phone calls, who got home late because you were at the office gathering data for us, or who got out of bed at ridiculous hours to drive to Salem to testify, Thank You!

North Dakota St. traffic, so I thought I would send this note.. I have lived on North Dakota St. for 29 years, and have experienced the increase in traffic. It is difficult to get out of my driveway, and without sidewalks the street is j. dangerous. I support your efforts to use speed bumps or other means to at least keep the heavy traffic at a safe speed. The part of North Dakota St. east of 121st 1 street, along with many other streets in Tigard all have increased traffic and deserve your attention. ' I do not understand why the group of people on the west side of 121st have received so much publicity. They already have sidewalks and islands which makes their street safer than many others. And besides, the islands were put their to slow traffic not be gardens. It seems the time and attention that these folks have demanded from the council is extensive. Any idea of closing the street, or rerouting traffic seems to be very selfish to other residents who would receive the traffic. These same people who complain must remember they drive down streets other I y people live on. Should we all say no traffic on our street? E Sincerely, Gary & Judy Gentemann 1 935 S.
