MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 12, 1997
• STUDY SESSION
i
> Meeting was called to order at 6:31 p.m. by Mayor Jim Nicoli
> Council Present: Mayor Jim Nicoli, Councilors Paul Hunt, Brian Moore, Bob Rohlf, and Ken
Scheckla.
> Staff Present: City Manager Bill Monahan; Legal Counsel Pam Beery; Planning Manager
Dick Bewersdorff; Associate Planner Will D'Andrea; Community
Development Director Jim Hendryx; Finance Director Wayne Lowry; Asst.
to the City Manager Liz Newton; Building Official David Scott; Public
Works Director Ed Wegner; and City Recorder Catherine Wheatley.
> Monopole decision -
Mayor Nicoli spoke to the call up of the monopole decision. He asked that the planning and
j legal staff look at the Council's concerns with respect to what the City Code said they could or
could not do.
Jim Hendryx, Community Development Director, noted the public hearing later on this
meeting's agenda regarding the wireless communication ordinance.
Bill Monahan, City Manager, reviewed his understanding of the Mayor's proposal to call up
the monopole decision on a future agenda, and to open the public hearing on the wireless
communication ordinance, and continue it until after the public hearing on the monopole. If
other issues were raised during the monopole hearing, they could be factored into the
standards.
Mayor Nicoli said that he had no problem with adopting the ordinance tonight if applications
coming in under the old standards were a concern. Mr. Hendryx said that at the public hearing
tonight staff would explain how the two recent controversial monopole decisions would have
been handled under the proposed standards. E
Mr. Hendryx reported that staff has looked into the issue of compliance with the Code and fk
development standards raised by the citizens requesting Council call up. He said that staff
could not ascertain that there was any violation. Pam Beery, Legal Counsel, referenced the
petition distributed by Cathy Wheatley, City Recorder, requesting a Council call up of the
decision. She advised the Council to reserve discussion of the merits of the application for the
Hearings Officer.
Mayor Nicoli asked if staff could communicate with the neighbors on what issues the Council
saw in tiliS matter prior to the hearing. Ms. Beery said iilai Stai iaiking wlin dic imighbuls
was not an ex parte contact. She advised that if the Council did call this up, that they not enter
into dialogue with the public about it. However if citizens wanted to testify on the ordinance
tonight, the Mayor should direct them to not make comments directed towards a particular
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 12, 1997 - PAGE 1
o
s
j
j I
site. They should make the meeting minutes part of the record of for the hearing so everyone
would have the opportunity to rebut any comments.
Councilor Scheckla expressed concern about the number of poles required and the spacing
between them. Ms. Beery said that the new ordinance addressed the concern quite well. Staff
recommended asking the franchise representatives those questions. Ms. Beery reviewed the
collocation protocol mandated in the ordinance. She pointed out the additional incentive for
the companies in that collocation was cheaper than a new pole. Mr. Hendryx noted the
aesthetic concern with more facilities collocated on a pole more visual clutter would be
created..
> Request to call up a minor land partition
Mayor Nicoli raised the request to call up the minor land partition. Mr. Hendryx said that the
neighbors could appeal that land use decision. He commented that with both the monopole
and the minor land partition they had entire neighborhoods turning out in opposition to the
decisions. He said that the neighborhood issue was tree removal which was not a reason for
1 staff to deny a minor land partition.
# Mr. Hendryx explained that staff has determined that, based on the current code, the trees were
i not protected. They have also researched the issue of an error in the original 1984 zoning of
1 that area and determined that the Code was applied correctly. While the property owners of
a the area could submit a petition to the City requesting a rezoning of the area, it would not
affect this application. y
t Mayor Nicoli asked if staff knew in what direction the neighborhood was headed. Mr.
Hendryx said that these neighbors were sophisticated and have done their homework. Mr.
Monahan mentioned that the applicant would probably be at tonight's meeting. Liz Newton,
Assistant to the City Manager, explained that Mr. Downing told her he would ask the
Council not to call it up and to allow it to go through the approval process. In her
conversations with neighbors in the area, she learned that their argument would be that -
dividing the lot into three partitions meant less opportunity to save trees. Mr. Monahan
mentioned that tonight was the Council's last chance to call this up.
Ms. Beery reported that her firm has represented AT&T in the past, though not in Tigard or on
this issue. She asked if the Council was comfortable with her representing the City on this - =
matter. Mayor Nicoli said it was fine. Mr. Monahan mentioned that he had represented
AT&T under their former name of Cellular One.
> Erickson property
Mr. Monahan mentioned CIT discussions on the Erickson property, a heavily wooded timber j
lot proposed for harvesting. While there was no land-use application at this time, there was a f
mobilization of neighborhood concerns about tree removal, erosion control, drainage, etc. Ms.
Newton reported that between 70 to 80 people attended the CIT meeting on this issue. Mr.
Hendryx said that staff was reviewing the apprenriatP rngndatinnc anrd rnntarting the Forest
Service about removal of trees on a wood lot. He commented that the neighbors have been
told that there would be no action on this matter until staff has thoroughly reviewed the
standards. as this was a new issue in Tigard.
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 12, 1997 - PAGE 2

Mr. Monahan asked if Council concurred with the staff work to create an environment of
communication with those citizens who had concerns while not issuing a permit until they
were sure of compliance with all regulations. fie said that staff was trying not to make
promises that they could save something that they could not save.
Councilor Scleckla asked several questions on mitigation in this situation. Mr. Hendryx said
that the Code gave specific exemption to removal of trees in a forest tree deferral wood lot.
Dick Bewersdorff, Planning Manager, explained that the Tree Ordinance Task Force had
specifically excluded tax deferred woodlots because of testimony from people who had set
them aside to harvest for funds to send their children to college. The owners of this lot
1 intended to harvest the timber before selling the lot to developers. A developer going through
the subdivision process would have to mitigate for those trees.
c

Mr. Monahan said that tonight staff expected neighbors at the meeting to report to the Council
on the CIT discussion. He reported that neighbors have requested staff to make a commitment
to do whatever they could to make sure that neighborhoods were protected from erosion. Staff
wanted this situation to have the least impact possible but with the understanding that the trees
1 would be cut down.
Councilor Hunt mentioned the erosion problems that resulted from the steep slope of the hill
j of the Renaissance Summit development. Councilor Scheckla asked if they would have a
problem with mudslides on Bull Mountain. Mr. Monahan said that they hoped to avoid that.
i~ > City Events: Policy Discussion on City Participation and Contributions
Mr. Monahan referenced the memo on the costs to the City for the Balloon Festival, broken
down by department detailing costs that would have been incurred anyway and special costs.
It also included the Fourth of July costs which were very limited. He pointed out that the
Balloon Festival was growing so fast that it was a new event every year.
Mr. Monahan suggested requiring special events and social agencies to give the City more f
advance notice of what their proposals would be prior to the budget process and assigning a
staff person as the contact person for the event or agency. This staff person would identify all
the potential costs so that staff could include a real cost by department into the budget process.
If Council wanted to, they could set an amount for the event, and staff would know that they
had to limit expenses to that amount. With sufficient notice, the special event or agencies ,
could make decisions on their programs or try to find alternative funding. !
Ed Wegner, Public Works Director, reviewed the staff work at the Festival, agreeing that it
did impact his department most of all. He pointed out the positive attitude of staff towards the
Festival, despite the extensive -,.ertime required. He mentioned that the soccer fields were
scheduled to be shut down after the Festival regardless. He said that staff worked Sunday and
Monday to finish cleaning up. He noted the help provided by the carnival and food vendors in
making it easy for them to pick up trash. Bruce Ellis, Event Coordinator, had arranged for the
contractors to retrieve all the rented equipment.
Councilor Scheckla asked if there were items that the City could have the Festival pay for,
such as extra trash pickups. Mr. Monahan said that was an item for discussion. He explained
that last year the Festival did not have any surplus revenue; however, this year it appears that
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 12, 1997 - PAGE 3
j

. i
1 there was profit. He advised that Mr. Ellis had indicated willingness in the past to help
finance any needed post-event field repair.
Mr. Wegner commented that eventually the Festival would "top out" where the City would
have to limit the number of balloons.
Mayor Nicoli asked about using volunteers to assist City staff. Mr. Wegner said they would
have more success asking volunteers (such as the Boy Scouts) to help with the set up than with
the clean up. He pointed out that school was still in session during the week prior to the
Festival.
Councilor Rohlf asked if they would see an adjustment to the budget. Mr. Monahan said no,
i because all the costs were within last year's budget.
1
1 Councilor Hunt expressed concern with the extra money being spent without the Council u
knowing it was being expended. Mr. Monahan said that it had been a surprise to staff who had
not realized the crowd the Festival would draw until they "saw the cars coming." He said that
the year before had not reflected these dollar amounts but possibly staff was now doing a
i better job of reporting the costs.
Mr. Monahan said that the information this year would help staff in their discussions with the
Balloon Festival organizers. He said that there was not an expectation on the Festival's part
that the City would support the event to the point where the Festival retained all profits
i without assisting the City with some of the expenses incurred.
Councilor Hunt asked if there was a way to measure the economic value the Festival brought
110
to the business community of Tigard. Mayor Nicoli said that the nonprofits could tell the City
how much money they made (which he thought was roughly around $30,000). He said that he
was certain that with 10,000 to 15,000 people coming into the town for a three day event, there
was money going into the business community.
Councilor Hunt asked who authorized the nonprofits that operated at the Festival. Mr.
Monahan said that the Festival did. He reported that Mr. Ellis told him that he tried to restrict
it to Tigard based non-profits only. The City's only input has been questions about traffic,
insurance and neighborhood impact. He said that if the Council felt it was important to know
how much money the non-profits made, he thought that Mr. Ellis would be willing to share i}
j that information with them.
Mayor Nicoli pointed out that the non-profits reinvested the money into the community. The
Festival fed the social service structure of the City in one way or another.
Mr. Monahan reported that lie informed Mr. Ellis that the report in the Oregonian regarding
the Council discussion on the Festival did not accurately reflect the tone of the Council. The j
Council was simply curious, not critical.
Councilor Moore asked that a discussion on a special events policy include what the intent of
the City -was in sponsoring cvcnis. Was it to showcase the laity or to provide an opportunity
for non-profits to raise money? Councilor Rohlf suggested a workshop on those issues.
I J Councilor Moore asked for information on what other communities spent on their big events.

He expressed concern that the Festival might move elsewhere due to lack of space at Cook I
Park.
The Council discussed when to schedule the discussion. They agreed on the October
workshop. Staff would invite Mr. Ellis to the study session prior to the workshop.

2. PRESENTATION: APPRECIATION ACKNOWLEDGMENT FOR KATHY DAVIS,
LIBRARY DIRECTOR AND CITY EMPLOYEE FOR OVER 21 YEARS
On behalf of the Council, Mayor Nicoli thanked Kathy Davis for her excellent work as Library
Director and presented her with an Award of Appreciation plaque. Ms. Davis presented the j
Council with ajar of honey from her business, Mountain Home Apiary, which was moving to
LaGrande.
2A. DISCUSSION: CALL-UP CONSIDERATION - AT&T CUP 97-0004
Mr. Monahan mentioned that the appeal deadline date for this land use application was
August 18. Mr. Hendryx noted the receipt of a petition today requesting the Council to call up
this application. Mayor Nicoli opened up the meeiing io public cu micut.
• j Spencer Vail, AT&T Wireless Services, asked that the Council not call this up application.
E' -t He argued that the appeal process already in place should be used, rather than the Council
w•~ initiating appeals on behalf of the people, losing the appeal fee and establishing a precedent.

He commented that the Council should call up applications if they felt that the Hearings
Officer had not interpreted the City's policy correctly or if there was some larger public policy
matter needing discussion. He mentioned that regardless of the outcome of the wireless
communication ordinance on the agenda tonight, this application would be based on the rules
in force at the time of the application. He reiterated his request to allow the regular appeal
process to run its natural course.
Mayor Nicoli said that he did think that there were some policy issues that the Hearings
Officer may not have considered. He has learned of some facts regarding the existing land use
and possible non-compliance that he believed merited Council discussion. Mr. Vail said that
the City tools to enforce non-compliance with zoning regulations were the conditions of
1 approval for that application. These should be handled independently of this application.
Mayor Nicoli reiterated that he saw several issues which the Council should look at.
Motion by Mayor Nicoli, seconded by Councilor Scheckla, to call up CUP 97-0004.
Motion was approved by unanimous voice vote of Council present. (Mayor Nicoli,
1 Councilors Hunt, Moore, Rohlf and Scheckla voted "yes.")
i Mr. Hendryx announced that staff would schedule a hearing with notice within the next few
days.
3. VISITOR'S AGENDA s
> Tom Strong, East CIT, requested the Council to review the decision of the Director on MLP
97-0100, a subdivision of a vacant lot on SW 9f off Greenburg Road. He reviewed the =
reasons for requesting the Council review. These included incorrect processing of the
application, failure to prove that the partitioning conformed to the City's Comprehensive Plan
and Development Code, an error in the Comprehensive Plan regarding the designated zoning
for the Dogwood Ridge neighborhood, and an insufficient requirement for dedication of right
of way for SW 92"d
Avenue.
Mr. Strong reviewed the specifics of their reasons for asking for review. They felt that the
application met the definition of "subdivision" under both the City Code and the state statutes,
as it would contain roads and streets. Therefore, it should be processed under the planned
development process. He contended that the application did not conform with Section
f 18.162.040 of the Comprehensive Plan, development commensurate with the physical
characteristics of the land, protecting natural and other resources, and requiring a review of
those resources that might have a detrimental impact on the community.
i
Mr. Strong said that the zoning of Dogwood Ridge should be R-3.5, not R-4.5. The right of
way width for 92'd Avenue should be 50 feet; a narrower street would pose a safety hazard if
additional homes were built. He noted the provision in the Plan to allow citizens to request
Council review of the Director's decisions. He said that they thought that there were some
j serious policy flaws in the Tigard City Code, noting a loophole that allowed approval of a
minor land partition without review of the existing timber or requirement of mitigation. He
cited the Plan policy that the City shall insure that the character of large or unique stands of
timber would not be substantially altered.

i ^ > Miles Downing, applicant, spoke to allowing the process to flow naturally as recommended
by staff. He mentioned the careful examination of all issues by the Planning staff. He asked
that the Council not call this up for review.
> Gordon Martin, 12265 SW 72"d, spoke to the tree planting program. He asked for discussion
on creating mitigation sites in the City where lie could mitigate the non-inventoried trees on
his property. He said that the 2-3 inches Christmas trees could be transplanted as part of the
tree planting program.
Mr. Martin entered into the record two letters that he received from Metro regarding the
Triangle street standards. He noted in particular the July 28 letter from Mike Hoaglund
concerning the definition of "point of local origin" recommended by Metro.
Mr. Martin said that he inadvertently contacted one of the potential participants in a
Dartmouth LID. The individual was upset and did not want to do anything about it. Mr.
Martin commented that a study session with the participants might not accomplish anything.
> Mayor Nicoli asked for discussion of the request to call up MLP 97-0010. Mr. Monahan III
4
noted the letter from the East CIT that laid out all the issues. Mayor Nicoli expressed concern E
that if the Council did call this up, they might not be able to do anything anyway because of
1 the legal restrictions. Mr. Hendryx confirmed to the Mayor that there would be no further land
1 use process on this application, as the partitioning process was the land use process.
Councilor Rohlf welcomed the citizens speaking to the Council but concurred with the
Mayor's concerns that calling this up might be an exercise in frustration for the citizens if the -
Council could not do anything about the situation. He said that there might be some policy
issues in the Code to address in the future.
Councilor Moore said that while he understood the neighbors' concerns for the tree grove, the
Council had no control over the tree permit process which covered those concerns. He r
commented that a change would have to occur prior to land use applications. He said that he 2,7
wasn't sure what they could do either.
Councilor Scheckla noted the awkwardness of this situation. He mentioned the staff
information that there was no error in the Comprehensive Plan. He suggested a compromise j
from the developer to save some of the trees.
Mayor Nicoli said that he did not have a problem with calling it up but reiterated his concern
that the City Attorney might inform the Council that they could not respond to the neighbors
as they might want to. He said that he did not want to mislead the neighborhood on what the
Council could or could not do.
Ms. Beery said that she was very hesitant to allow any detailed discussion of the issues if the
Council intended to call it up. It was important to keep the Council as an impartial body. She
said that if the Council was concerned that there were policy issues, they could call it up, and
have a full discussion of the issues at the hearing.
Mr. Hendrvx reviewed the st aff,_ork rn the yuesiiun ofan error in the Comprehensive Pian.
° s He said that he could not substantiate that such an error had occurred with the land use
designation currently in place.

f Mayor Nicoli asked what the ground rules for discussion would be at the hearing. Ms. Beery
i said that the Council could not limit the discussion but they could identify their areas of
concern so that the parties could address those specifically.
i
Motion by Councilor Rohlf, seconded by Councilor Scheckla, to call up MLP 97-0010.
Motion was approved by a majority voice vote of Council present. (Mayor Nicoli, Councilors
Rohlf and Scheckla voted "yes"; Councilor Moore voted "no"; Councilor Hunt abstained)
4. CONSENT AGENDA
Councilor Scheckla asked for more information on Item 4.5. Mr. Monahan explained that two
months ago a local business owner raised the issue of whether or not all business owners paid
their business license fee. The business owner pointed out that those who paid the fee were at
a competitive disadvantage to those who did not pay the fee. He presented a proposal to the f
Finance Director on identifying businesses not paying the tax. Staff asked to handle this issue
i themselves, rather than hiring a consultant. The budget adjustment of $6000 was to fund
temporary help to identify businesses not currently paying the business tax, validate the
information against the records, and send out notices for payment. He said that this was an
3 education issue, not an enforcement issue.
Motion by Councilor Hunt, seconded by Councilor Rohlf, to adopt the Consent agenda.
Mayor Nicoli asked exactly what "canopies" were covered under Item 4.7. David Scott,
Building Official, explained that the Building Code divided the jurisdiction for membrane
structures based on size. He said that he knew that Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue did not
regulate the Farmers' Market canopies. He said that this was not a change in the Uniform Fire
Code.
Motion was approved by unanimous voice vote of Council present. (Mayor Nicoli,
Councilors Hunt, Moore, Rohlf and Scheckla voted "yes.")

5. PUBLIC COMMENT: GREENSPACES PROGRAM - PROPOSALS FOR CHANGES
TO THE CITY'S OFFICIAL LIST OF GREENSPACE PROJECTS AND TO THE
PROCESS USED TO IMPLEMENT THESE PROJECTS
a. Staff Report
j Duane Roberts, Associate Planner, reviewed the provisions of the May 1995 Metro
Greenspaces bond. These included commitment to a willing seller approach and a local share
j provision that passed through funds to the local jurisdictions. Tigard received $750,000. He
j reviewed the City's mandated public involvement program that resulted in a list of potential
' greenspace acquisitions. He reported on the acquisitions completed and not completed in the
last 14 months since adoption of that list.
The City has purchased land on the northern slope of Bull Mountain but the other two
properties under negotiation were abandoned when the owner wanted a higher price than the
Council had budgeted for. In addition, a partnership deal with the County for forestland
property fell through when the owner backed out and sold the property for development.
Metro has purchased one property to the north of Woodward Park in cooperation with the City
and was negotiating on three other properties. Another partnership opportunity with the
County was purchase of the forested land adjacent to the water district property, a deal that
j was reached this afternoon. -
Mayor Nicoli asked how much money the City had left, and what could they spend it on. Mr.
Roberts said that they had $663,000 left. It could be used for land acquisition and capital
improvements, such as trailway construction, parking areas leading into natural areas, or
interpretative centers. He mentioned that the CITs indicated strong interest in acquiring land
in preference to building trails. LI
Mr. Roberts said that they needed to identify replacement projects for the three projects
dropped from the formal list. This required a public involvement process. The deadline for
completing acquisitions was September 1998 with six month extensions possible. On the map
he pointed out the properties recommended by staff: two Tualatin River properties (already
negotiated on), greenway acquisitions, and a property adjacent to power lines.
Mr. Roberts suggested hiring a contractor to assist staff with the negotiations with owners to
i move the process forward as quickly as possible. Alternatives recommendations in the staff
report included revisiting sites dropped from the list, one near Cook Park and the Bond and
82nd Avenue parcel. He noted the letter from the City of Tualatin suggesting that Tigard
allocate $50,000 of greenspace funds for the design of the Tualatin River pedestrian bridge.
He said that trailway construction was the staff's lowest priority recommendation.
b. Public Comment
> Sterling Marsh. South rIT f-_090 S,V Cvir., prcacnicu iuc CiT's request to '
revisit the Gage property (F-5), the property north of Cook Park (P-2), and the Hall/Fanno
Creek greenway east of Hall Blvd. (17-1). There was also discussion of the Bull Mountain
parcel (F-3). He said that the CIT did emphasize purchase of land over trail construction.

They asked that one parcel not consume the majority of the available Metro Greenspaces
money.
Mayor Nicoli mentioned that the owner of the properties on Hall was not interested in selling
which stopped the City from further action.
> Beverly Froude, West/Central CIT, reported the CIT proposal to delay the decision on the
Greenspaces proposal in order to coordinate the purchases with the parks master plan. The
concern was for placement of greenspaces and parks in all areas of Tigard. They supported
hiring someone to coordinate the preparation of the parks master plan as soon as possible.
Though overall the CIT supported purchasing land, there was a group that felt that
i Washington County should share in the cost of parcels outside the city limits, while another
group felt that such parcels should be purchased by Tigard when they became available, on the
1 grounds that those areas would come into the City in the future anyhow.
C
> Rick Wcejo, 8110 SW Bond Street, requested purchase of the Gage property with the funds
j provided by the Metro Greenspaces bond measure. He pointed out that the land was now
worth $500,000 but the Gage family was willing to sell it for $200,000 less than its fair market
i value because of their commitment to keeping the property as greenspace. He said that the
neighborhood has grown impatient and discouraged with all the delays. He recommended
! acting now to acquire the property.
i
' > Tom Murphy, 8152 SW Ashford Street, asked for purchase of the Gage property for E
preservation as open space. He pointed out the quality of the forested greenspace and its
i availability, one of the few forested parcels left available within the city limits. He
{ r, commented that the other properties under consideration were unknowns. He disagreed with
the staff recommendation to spend Greenspaces money to hire someone to help purchase land.
Mr. Murphy mentioned the $28,000 raised by the neighborhood to assist in the purchase of the
property with $3000 spent for an option that has now expired. He reported that the Wetlands
Conservancy (who held the remaining $25,000 in trust) recently sent a letter to the
contributors, indicating its belief that the Gage property would not be purchased and asking
what they wanted done with the money. He contended that timing was critical in retaining this
money for purchase of the Gage property. He reiterated that the Gage sisters were offering the
property at 60% of fair market value. He pointed out the extensive citizen support for the
purchase of the Gage property.
> Brian Pautz said that he had two properties outside the city limits available for sale which he
was more interested in seeing remain as open space than in selling for a lot of money. He
noted the existing trail running through his Bull Mountain property which was used on a daily
basis by bikers and hikers. He mentioned the development plans to build high density
duplexes right in front of his property. He said that he thought this area would annex into
Tigard soon. He mentioned the benefit Tigard received from the County's purchase of the
Cache property and other properties. He spoke to maintaining greenspace in the area in light
of the high density going in, and a greenspace's potential to alleviate the social problems
associated with high density. He said that areas on the site were well spited for i^.t=• Ctat:vc
centers. I
i
> Jim Soiier, 14890 SW Sunrise Lane, spoke in support of purchase of the large Bull
Mountain property as an opportunity to acquire a piece of property almost the size of Cook

i
Park. He spoke to acquiring it prior to annexation before development occurred close to it. He
i pointed out the year round stream, wildlife habitat, and second growth forest. He commented
f that with the increasing population base along Scholls Ferry Road and the lack of greenspaces,
there was no place for the children to play. The children have found this property and used it
daily. He noted the existing trail system and an area ideal for an interpretive center.
Mr. Solier said that if something was not done, this area would look like Telegraph Hill in Saz
Francisco. He referenced a 1995 consultant report that documented that 59% of the forested
area that the consultants had studied on Bull Mountain disappeared within two years. He
commented that a lot of the owners of this land lived on the street right up from it, and would
almost be willing to donate the land if they knew it would be maintained as greenspace. He
spoke in support of a negotiator. He stated that lie canvassed the neighborhood and found
{ momentum to get this property.
Mr. Pautz mentioned that two years ago Washington County placed this property as 45 on
their list but ran out of money. The interest was still there to purchase this land.
> Beverly Fronde, speaking as a private citizen, supported Mr. Solier's and Mr. Pautz's
comments. She said that it would be a wise move to purchase this land now.
I > Diane Jelderks, 10045 SW Garrett, South CIT member, concurred that CITs wanted land
first and trails second, as connectivity was very important to them. She spoke to making a
connection between the residential neighborhood and the pathway currently under
construction between Ash and Main Streets. She said that this section was originally in the
CIP but was removed when they went through the Metro process. It has fallen through the
cracks but was an important connection for the city. She said that the neighborhood strongly
supported this connection. She asked that it be added to the scope of the project on Ash
Avenue.
> Eric Johanes, 8102 SW Ashford Street, spoke for his and his neighbor's support of purchase
of the Gage property. He said that many in their neighborhood also supported it.
> Evelyn Beach, ?530 SW 72"d, read a letter from Dayle Beach nominating a strip along both
sides of Red Rock Creek from SW 68`x' to SW 72nd Streets for the Greenspaces program. She
said that Red Rock Creek went through a steep ravine at this point on property owned by the
Oregon Education Association. It was a beautiful greenspace and unsuitable for development.
She mentioned that there were no greenspace plans for the Triangle.
Mr. Roberts said that he knew what area Ms. Beach was referring to but did not remember
why it had not been considered. He said that it had not come up during the public process. He
said that while he believed that the property was for sale, it was not currently on the market.
> Nancy Younger, Sunrise Lane, spoke in support of developing a park or greenspace on the
Bull Mountain land, especially in light of the high density development allowed by the County
without accompanying parks. She said that her children grew up playing nn that !and, and that
people used to ride horses through there. She noted the native wildlife and flora on the land.
She encouraged the Council to take advantage of this opportunity before the land was
developed. She said that the Renaissance Homes developer has said that he would not build
i J down to that greenspace; the City could probably expect donation of some land for
greenspace.
1 TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 12, 1997 - PAGE 11
i
Ms. Younger spoke to revisiting City development policy and requiring apartment or housing
developments to include a neighborhood park for x number of many houses. She said that
without neighborhood parks, the children would have no place to play.
> Chris Counts, 9600 Rivenvood Lane, South CIT member, spoke to the planning process for
parks as a fragmented process that did not build public confidence. He suggested creating an
overlay map that clearly showed the location of existing parks and where greenspaces could fit
into that distribution. He spoke to parks as "green infrastructure" and noted the values citizens
mentioned tonight associated with parks: places to play, wildlife habitat, watershed values.
i He contended that the fragmentation in planning led to a lack of using professional tools to
move forward in a scientific manner in planning greenspaces, parks and ballfields. He spoke
to using professional tools to restore public confidence. These tools might include objective
ranking criteria.
i Mr. Counts said that he favored the F-2 site, next to Cook Park, even though he understood
that the owner did not want to sell. He supported the recommendations Mr. Marsh presented
from the South CIT. He urged the Council to use the scientific tools available for parks and
greenspace planning. He mentioned the issue of whether or not to wait for the parks master
plan. He held that all they got out of the 1987 parks master plan was the controversial Cook
Park expansion. He said that if they were going to wait for the master plan, then the City
move forward in a positive and constructive manner once that information was received. If
they were not going to wait for the master plan, then the City should apply these tools now. -
> Susan Vossler, 9500 SW Rivenvood Lane, supported reconsideration of opening
negotiations with the property owner of the land next to Cook Park. It was a natural extension
of Cook Park with wetlands, trees and access for high school student biology field studies.
> Tom Strong, 10465 SW 92"d, pointed out that many greenspaces currently available for parks
had no access for a lot of people. He cited the Fanno Creek parkway that ran from SW North
Dakota across Scholls Ferry to the Greenway Park in Beaverton. He said that he lived half a i "
mile from that pathway but neither he nor his children could not get to it. There were no
sidewalks, North Dakota was too dangerous to ride bikes on, and there was no adjacent
parking. He spoke for consideration that access to the greenspaces was important. At some
point, the City would have to spend money for capital improvements.
Mr. Hendryx summarized a letter received today from Oscar & Dolores Clark requesting
consideration of the forest site on Fonner Street currently under development review. }
-J _
c. Council Questions/Comments
Mayor Nicoli said that he did not think that Council would put together a formal list tonight.
He asked staff to return with a report showing the estimated cost for the properties and a map
showing the exact location of each property. Councilor Hunt asked that only properties
actually for sale be noted on the map.
Mayor Nicoli asked what the status was of the parks master plan. Mr. Hendryx said that staff
sent out RFPs with a submission deadline at the end of August.

r,
S r
Mayor Nicoli suggested that the parks master plan consultant make some early
t recommendations on appropriate park locations. Mr. Roberts explained that staff
j recommended target areas rather than specific properties. Identification of specific properties
meant that they had to amend the greenspaces agreement, and often led to more difficulty in
purchasing said property.
Councilor Scheckla asked how the Tualatin pedestrian bridge fit into the Greenspaces
program. Mr. Roberts said that it was an eligible project recommended by the City of Tualatin
who has requested matching funds from Tigard towards design of the bridge. This would
provide a connection within the Tualatin River trail system.
Councilor Rohlf spoke to the importance of moving quickly. The longer the City waited, the
more these properties increased in value, and the less the City could purchase for its dollars.
Mr. Monahan asked if valuation was of concern to the Council. He mentioned that in the past
{ prices have changed once the City indicated interest. He noted that Mr. Pautz' letter did not
indicate prices. Mr. Roberts said that staff did have a letter from Mr. Pautz with prices but it
was not part of the public record. Mr. Pautz stated that he was willing to negotiate his stated
price.
Ms. Jelderks asked about the path she had mentioned. Mayor Nicoli said that staff would
include everything mentioned tonight on the list for Council consideration in more depth.
Mayor Nicoli recessed the meeting at 9:11 p.m. for a break
Mayor Nicoli reconvened the meeting at 9:22 p.m.
6. UPDATE: TREE PLANTING PROGRAM
Ed Wegner, Public Works Director, presented a proposal to meet the Council goal of
planting 2000 trees in Tigard by the year 2000. It was a three phase project. The first phase
was planting trees in parks, greenways, and wetlands between now and November, including
using volunteers on October 25, "Make a Difference Day." Staff would hire a landscape
architect to help design and layout where trees were needed, and to work with the parks master
plan to coordinate with the tree planting program.
Mr. Wegner reviewed the second phase to begin in September or October. Staff would meet
with public agencies, such as schools, to develop a tree planting program in conjunction with
Arbor Day and Earth Day festivities in April. The third phase was developing a complete
street tree program, looking at standards and maintenance responsibilities. He mentioned that
while the current ordinance placed the maintenance responsibility for street trees on the
homeowner, it was not necessarily economically feasible for the homeowner to do so. He
cited a recent case of a homeowner who hired an arborist to look at a street tree with a $500+
r
bill to take care of the tree.
Mr. Wegner noted Mr. Martin's suggestion to create a mitigation site. He said that staff was
willing to do that within this process. He said that they had money in the tree mitigation fund
for use. In addition the Cook Park CIP projects included trees and landscaping. He reported
i that staff discovered a need for wetlands mitigation on the Menlor site which would be done at

Cook Park. He mentioned the offer of a businessman to possibly donate trees. He said that
the goal was to plant the last tree on December 31, 1999.
The Council agreed by consensus to go with the staff recommendation on this proposal.
7. PUBLIC HEARING (LEGISLATIVE) - PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT CODE (TITLE 18) BY ESTABLISHING STANDARDS FOR
WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITIES BY ADOPTING A NEW CHAPTER:
TMC 18.152
a. Mayor Nicoli opened the public hearing
b. Declarations or Challenges: None
c. Staff Report: Community Development Department
Will D'Andrea, Associate Planner, explained that the selling of new communication licenses
} by the FCC as a result of the federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 led to an increase in the
39 number of requests for cellular towers and to increased concern by local communities about
the need to regulate the proliferation of these towers. He said that wireless communication
facilities were considered utilities under the existing Code standards. However the Code
currently had no specific language directed towards wireless communication facilities. He t
said that the attached proposed ordinance was modeled on the Oregon City ordinance with
input from wireless providers.
C Mr. D'Andrea reported that the proposed ordinance included minor revisions requested by the
Planning Commission who recommende(t approval of the ordinance on July 21. He
mentioned the notice given to the CITs of the Planning Commission and Council hearings on
the ordinance.
Mr. D'Andrea reviewed the purposes of the regulations, including ensuring that wireless
communication facilities were regulated in a manner that minimized the visual impact and
encouraged collocation. Using overhead graphics, he reviewed the provisions of the proposed
ordinance and the constraints of the Telecommunications Act.
Mr. D'Andrea said that while the Act preserved the local government's authority to regulate
these facilities, it prohibited regulations that would effectively prohibit provision of service or
discriminate among providers. The environmental effects of emissions were regulated through
the FCC, not the local jurisdictions. Approvals had to be granted in a timely fashion and in r
writing.
Mr. D'Andrea reviewed the three tiers of the proposed system. The first tier dealt with uses
permitted outright, including collocation in commercial, industrial, and residential zones
within certain height criteria. The second tier was the director's decision or staff level review
with notice, allowing new towers in commercial and industrial zones and in public open space,
- i :uiu cuilucaiwu uuuvc ii,c iicibui Cri iCrid. a,a, iiviCu uwoc sot back ..p.._...b - - -
i
requirements.
j 4 Mr. D'Andrea said that the third tier was the conditional use process requiring a public hearing
for towers in residential zones (except for public open spaces). He mentioned the intent to
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 12, 1997 - PAGE 14 I j
i
{

f
protect points of visual interest or views, and the requirement to demonstrate that no other {
alternative was available. He reviewed the setback and spacing requirements for conditional
use, and mentioned the requirement to submit three to five photos of the proposed facility and
affected residential properties.
Mr. D'Andrea reviewed the coefficient protocol that required applicants to make a good faith
effort to find a collocation site before proposing a new tower. He listed the criteria and
documentation for collocation.
Mr. D'Andrea recommended approval of the ordinance. I

I d. Public Testimony
> Kevin Martin, Sprint PCS, Land Use Coordinator, said that he had only two issues with
this ordinance following the Planning Commission hearing. The ordinance structure was j
similar to that used by other communities in the region. He asked if the noise standards were
more restrictive for this use than for other uses. If so, he disagreed, contending that they
should be the same. He expressed concern at the extreme difficulty of meeting the variance
criteria for a hardship in dealing with setbacks and tower spacing (Section 18.02.24). He
advocated using adjustment standards rather than variances to allow greater flexibility in the
placement of the towers. He cited the example of siting a tower within a grove of trees inside
I the setback area as opposed to placing it out in the open in accordance with the setback
standards.
Mayor Nicoli asked what noise was generated by these facilities. Mr. Martin said that the
noise level of the PCS facilities (the size of a traffic control box) was very low because they
did not use air conditioners. The larger structures did use air conditioning but the noise level
was no different than cooling equipment on top of a building.
> Spencer Vail, AT&T Wireless, concurred with Mr. Martin's comments. He said that his
primary concern was the variance section of the Code and the need to prove hardship. He 1
cited an example of an application before the Hearings Officer in which the applicant, the
neighbors, and the staff all agreed that the facility should be located in the corner of the
property but the setback standards did not allow it and he could not prove hardship. He
contended that the public would be better served with greater flexibility for innovative design
j and placement. He suggested developing criteria similar to the criteria developed for the
1 protection of visual points. He supported the ordinance as written with this one change. He
concurred that the air conditioning of his facilities were no louder than residential air
conditioning.
Councilor Scheckla asked what Mr. Vail considered a visual impact. Mr. Vail said that he did
not know. He spoke to putting specific language in the Code to govern how that was decided.
> Tony Cargill spoke to the issue of the aesthetic impact of the machinery. He said that these
towers had the aesthetic appeal of a crowbar and asked that the City encourage the providers

t l
Councilor Moore asked if landscaping was required for these facilities. Mr. D'Andrea said
there were requirements for landscape screening of the accessory structures.
Councilor Scheckla commented that a pole suddenly appearing in a neighborhood certainly
did have a visual impact. He asked how that was addressed and who determined the visual
impact. Mr. D'Andrea reviewed the criteria for minimizing the visual impact (page 4),
including trying to find other locations on the property to minimize the impact. He said that
the Hearings Officer reviewed the question of visual impact.
Councilor Scheckla asked if unacceptable visual impact was discovered after the fact, would
the providers have to take the tower down. Mr. D'Andrea said no. He commented on the
! difficulty of protecting visual points of interest and in determining where those were. He
j reiterated the FCC requirement that local jurisdictions could not create regulations that
effectively prohibited provision of service. The balance lay between protecting visual impact
and complying with FCC regulations.
{
Councilor Moore commented that, as he understood it, the viewshed was what the view would ! -
be with the pole in it. He noted the requirement for three to five photo simulations of the
proposed facility for affected residential properties and public rights of way.
Councilor Scheckla asked who decided how many facilities were needed and the spacing
between the towers. Mr. D'Andrea reviewed the spacing requirements in the ordinance. He
f said that the industry determined the number of poles needed based on their provision of
service.
Councilor Scheckla asked if there was a provision for removal of the towers in the event of
more advanced technology that no longer required the towers. Mr. D'Andrea reviewed the
abandonment provision that required a provider to take down a tower not used for six months.
Councilor Scheckla asked if the local governments had any control at all. Mr. D'Andrea said
that it was limited but they could regulate some things. Ms. Beery commented that, based on
her experience in this field, she found this that ordinance did achieve the regulation allowed to
local governments while still complying with the FCC requirements.
I
Councilor Rohlf asked if the ordinance took a conservative or aggressive approach to
protecting neighborhoods from the impacts of these facilities. Ms. Beery said that while it was I
not really conservative, neither was it as aggressive as it could be. She cited the collocation
protocol as a factor in reducing the number of facilities. She described the ordinance as a
series of concomitant elements which, as a total, were intended to result in locating these
i facilities where they would have the least impact.
Councilor Hunt suggested approving this ordinance tonight and directing staff to return with
recommendations on the concerns raised regarding adjustment standards versus. variances.
Ms. Beery said doing so would place the City in a good position. She pointed out that the
variance criteria was a more aggressive protection for the City by placing more of the burden
on the industry. She commented that use of a cei!apcihle rlrcian tower could mean lower `
setback requirements, although it was not included in the ordinance.
Mayor Nicoli expressed his concern that the variance criteria might prevent a better placement
of a tower on a property if that better placement was within the setback. He spoke for
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 12, 1997 - PAGE 16

i !
flexibility in placement of the towers, especially if they could be hidden in tree groves. He
s expressed concern also about the 2000 foot spacing in commercial zones and 500 foot spacing
!t in residential zones. He spoke to encouraging placement of more than one tower in the ugly
i industrial sections of town in a cluster as opposed to a "picket fence line." Councilor Moore
suggested directing staff to identify certain locations where the Council would accept spacing
I less than the required amounts.

Councilor Rohlf commented that there were so many loopholes in these regulations that the
providers could put their facilities where ever they wanted to. He said that it was distressing
to him that they could not regulate this utility as they could any other utility. He said that he
would support the motion because it was the best they could do.
Mr. Monahan noted that the ordinance did not inc!ude an emergency clause, therefore it would
be effective in 30 days.
Amendment to the motion by Councilor Hunt, seconded by Councilor Rohlf, to include
an emergency clause.
Mr. Monahan said that the reason for the emergency clause was the Council's concern that -
1 other applications would come in under the old regulations with a potential negative impact on
the neighborhoods.

c. Staff Report: Community Development Department
Mr. Hendryx reviewed the location of the right of way requested for vacation. He said that
staff did discuss this with ODOT and the ordinance reflected ODOT's concern about retaining
adequate right of way for a future widening of 99W.
Councilor Rohlf asked what the advantage was to vacating this right of way now if in the
! future they might need it back. Mr. Hendryx said that the advantage was that the property
1 owner would maintain it. It would add a minimal amount to the tax base.
i
1 Mr. D'Andrea explained that this public street with a wide landscape strip looked like a F
private driveway. The City owned half of the landscape strip, and the owner of the other half
has requested vacation of the landscape strip, but not of the public street. He said that a
condition of the vacation was the property owner's agreement to rededicate the right of way if
necessary. The street could only be closed if the someone went through the vacation procedure
to request vacation of the public right of way of the street.
j
Mr. D'Andrea explained that this portion of the right of way was the remnant of an old ODOT
i frontage road which was vacated on development of the Tigard Marketplace.
d. Public Testimony
Mayor Nicoli reviewed the hearing standards and criteria.
> Grace Bean said that her question of whether or not the road would be closed has been _
answered.
> Michael Magus, attorney for the property owner, a Michigan corporation, reviewed the
history of this right of way. He said that this little piece was overlooked when the rest of the
right of way was transferred to the owner of the property at the time of the Tigard Marketplace
development. He said that they were also asking ODOT to sell their piece to them but
ODOT's process took longer than a street vacation. He explained that they maintained the
t entire island, it had an irrigation system in it and easements into the shopping center.
Mr. Magus said that they discovered during some research that they did not own the entire
island, as they thought they did, and that they were simply trying to rectify the problem. Mr.
Magus said that they would enter into a similar agreement with ODOT to rededicate the right
of way, should 99W be widened. He asked that the ordinance specifically state that the
property will inure to Tax Lot 100 so it would appear that way on the tax rolls. He
commented that neither ODOT nor the City Public Works Department wanted to maintain the i
island.
> Tony Cargill asked why $50,000 to $60,000 worth of property was being given away as
opposed to selling it at public auction. Ms. Beery explained that a property dedicated for _

Wayne Lowry, Finance Director, explained that MFS, a subsidiary of WorldCom, was a
competitive access provider in telecommunications, running the same type of service as
Electric Lightwaves has provided in the Port Iand/Vancouver area for three to four years. He _
said that the City entered into a franchise agreement with Electric Lightwaves in 1993 for
which they charged 5% of the gross revenue generated within the city. He said that this
franchise agreement was virtually identical to the Electric Lightwaves' agreement.
Motion by Councilor Hunt, seconded by Councilor Scheckla, to approve Ordinance 97-
10.
The City Recorder read the number and title of the ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO. 97-10, AN ORDINANCE GRANTING TO METROPOLITAN FIBER

10. UPDATE: TIGARD TRIANGLE
I
Mr. Hendryx reported on the July 22 workshop conducted by staff to test large scale
development against the adopted street plan and design standards for the Tigard Triangle. He
said that participants included big box retail developers and Triangle property owners. He
stated that the five hour workshop generated valuable discussion. Staff would circulate the
draft report summary of the information gained at the workshop amongst the participants prior
to bringing it to Council. He mentioned that citizens attended the workshop as observers but
only those specifically invited participated in the discussions. He said that the draft report
summary would include a list of issues and standards that could be changed to allow big box
retail development within the Triangle, if Council wanted to allow that type of development.
Councilor Moore requested staff to verify that the workshop participants have in fact received
the summary report.
11. COUNCIL REVIEW - REQUEST BY STAFF FOR CLARIFICATION OF
REQUIREMENT TO CONNECT TO PUBLIC SEWER (TIGARD TRIANGLE ~
DESIGN STANDARDS)
r
Mr. Hendry•x mentioned the intense discussion in the community regarding exactly what the
~
d design standards for the Tigard Triangle meant. He cited the provision in the standards that
t required all new development, including major renovations or remodeling projects that -
resulted in conversion to a non-single family use, to dedicate and approve public streets, to
connect to public facilities such as sewer, water and storm drainage, and to participate in
funding future transportation and public improvement projects necessary within the Triangle.
3 He said the intent was to prevent haphazard conversion of houses so that the converted houses
I} would be an asset to the community, not a liability.
~ Mr. Hendryx reviewed the current situation in which a property owner wanted to sell a house
1
for conversion to a business use but was more than 1500 feet away from a sewer line. He said
that he interpreted the standards to mean that they had to connect to the sewer with no
recourse.
Mr. Hendryx noted the Tigard programs for providing sewer facilities, including creation of an
LID, the neighborhood sewer extension program (applicable only in residential areas), and
reimbursement districts. He reviewed the Council's options, including the status quo, getting
involved in construction of sewer facilities, changing the standards to allow the neighborhood -
sewer program to include mixed use or commercial areas, or requiring the property owner to
pay estimated engineering costs into a fund for future installment of sewer into the area (a
sewer improvement fund).
Mr. Monahan said that they could develop a program that allowed single properties converting
to business use to remain on septic systems (if certified as functional by the County) for a
limited amount of time until the sewer was extended to allow a connection. Mr. Hendryx
pointed out that this was a requirement unique to the Triangle and did not exist in other areas j
® y' of uhe Jiy.
i
Mayor Nicoli noted that the Craigs had been in the middle of selling their home when this
9 situation arose. Mr. Monahan explained that, while there was still confusion on all the facts
TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 12, 1997 - PAGE 20
l
1 p
i
i
I. ~
a leading up to this situation, staff met with the buyer's representatives and the property owner I
j to discuss the options available.
Mayor Nicoli commented that this situation was not atypical of what would happen in the
Triangle where single family homes would convert to business uses house by house. In this f
case, the people were more than 1500 feet away from a sewer line, and did not have the money
to install that amount of sewer line. The City wanted to encourage development in the
Triangle, but this requirement would prevent the people with homes on septic systems from
selling their homes.
Mayor Nicoli spoke to the City being more proactive and allowing use of sewer fund moneys
in this zone, as had been done with the project on Tippitt. He commented that the City would
have to put in more infrastructure in the Triangle to encourage the kind of development they
wanted to see. He said that he did not want to penalize the current small property owners in
the Triangle.
Mrs. Craig said that there was interest from the other property owners on the street to connect
j to city sewer.
Mayor Nicoli said that another option to go along with Mr. Monahan's suggestion of certified
functional septic systems was to ask for a non-remonstrance for when the sewer came in.
Mr. Monahan explained that the Craigs could install a sewer pump to connect to a closer line.
The City did not promote pumping but would honor that type of connection if the Craigs _
chose to go in that direction. Mayor Nicoli pointed out that if the Craigs went with the pump,
they in effect penalized their neighbors when the sewer line was put in because they would not
i want to participate in that line.
{ Councilor Hunt asked why storm water was not included in this discussion also. Mr. Hendryx
explained that the storm water sewer was easier to connect to in this situation.
Mayor Nicoli asked if the Craigs would have to put in curbs, sidewalks, or street lights under
the standards. Mr. Hendryx said that they would have to do a half street improvement for their
property to convert to commercial. Mayor Nicoli suggested allowing several homes on a
street to convert to commercial and then doing the entire street rather than having piecemeal
half street improvements. He said that he saw the half street requirement as more applicable to
other areas of Tigard that had large existing commercial properties. Mr. Hendryx said that
was an option. f
Mr. Hendryx pointed out that if an LID process was used, subsequent buyers might not realize
that they had this obligation. In addition, waivers of remonstrance were typically only good
for 10 years. If the City did not move forward with the improvement, the agreement could
lapse, leaving the City with no way to get the improvement built. He reviewed the political
process needed to assess the properties for the improvements, questioning how did they handle
a converted house versus a house still in residential use. He commented that they could get a
cash sum for the property owners, based on the engineering estimates, and hold it in an
account for the future street improvements. He rccoi-~.-,-'
.,,ucuued that action over an LID.
Councilor Rolilf asked what the cost was for 1500 foot of sewer line. Mrs. Craig said it was
$35,000 to $40,000. `

n Councilor Ruhlf commented that they have worked hard to develop standards for the "friang e,
and that he was not willing to trash them. He spoke to the City providing infrastructure as a
way to help development move in the direction that they wanted to see it move.
Mr. Monahan said that they could use the sewer account funds. Staff could also look into a
variety of funds to contribute to building infrastructure to stimulate development, as suggested
by Councilor Rohlf. i
Councilor Hunt said that he would like to resolve the sewer question tonight but discuss the
other issues more fully, including the financial side, before making a decision on other
infrastructure elements.
Councilor Rohlf asked if people from other areas in the Triangle might come and ask for the
® same thing. Mayor Nicoli said that that was possible. Mr. Monahan commented that they
would want to create a program to allow funding of infrastructure- Possibilities included
developing a duplicate reimbursement program for commercial areas or a program to provide j
the sewer line without request by property owners.
Councilor Scheckla asked what the time frame was for the Craigs' situation. Mr. Craig said `
that they v. ere supposed to close on Friday. He said that he would hate to waste the money on
a pump if a sewer line would be installed shortly.
3$ Mr. Monahan commented that the Craigs did have a County certificate for a sewer system that
would function for a commercial property. Perhaps the Council could make an interpretation
Yr allowing the use of the septic tank for a short period of time while staff put the sewer program
in place. Mayor Nicoli concurred with that suggestion to help the Craigs with their immediate
j situation. He said that he also favored moving ahead with a program on street infrastructure.
~ f
Mr. Hendryx said that, based on Council direction, he would interpret the provision to mean
that, if sewer was not readily available, an applicant could provide funds that would equal r
I their proportionate share of the cost of installing the sewer line.
{
Tony Cargill asked if this would apply to other transactions coming up in the next few weeks.
Mayor Nicoli said yes, if they were converting their use. Mr. Cargill said that most people f _
east of 72"d Avenue were interested in converting houses into individual businesses as
I opposed to selling to a developer accumulating properties for a large development. He
expressed concern that a sewer line of adequate size to serve future development be installed.
He asked if a variance was a possibility for the Craigs but supported the Council action.
Mayor Nicoli said that he thought that the Craigs would not qualify for a variance. Ms. Beery
concurred.
12. NON AGENDA ITEMS
> Rite Center Update
I
Mr. Monahan reported on his conversation with Kim Brown of Interfaith Outreach Services
regarding the Rite Center. They have received their land use approval and expected to break
t ground in early September, once two small buildings on the property were demolished. They

intended to operate a shelter this year out of the Methodist church until the Rite Center was
completed. The Methodist church postponed remodeling the portion of their building used for t
the shelter until Interfaith could move into the Rite Center. Interfaith would not operate a
severe weather shelter this year.

Center should be completed next week.

SECTION II: BACKGROUND INFORMATION
General Information:
The passage of the Federal Telecommunications Act and the selling of new wireless
licenses by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has significantly increased the J
number of requests for cellular and personal communication services, communication I
J towers both locally and across the country. Concern has been expressed by citizens and -
council persons regarding the need to regulate the proliferation of facilities.

I
Federal Telecommunications Act:
The Federal Telecommunications Act was passed in 1996. This Act deregulated the
i nation's communication industry. This deregulation has created a marketplace filled with
1 new, more efficient technologies.
Tho Act places three important limitations on local governments as follows:
1. cities may not "unreasonably discriminate among providers of functionally equivalent
services",
2. cities may not "prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting the provision of personal
wireless services", and
3. cities may not regulate personal wireless services "on the basis of the environmental h
effects of radio frequency emissions to the extent that such facilities comply with the
(FCC's) regulations concerning such emissions."
Existing Regulations:
Cellular towers and wireless facilities are considered utilities under existing development
code regulations. Utilities are a conditional use that can be approved after a public hearing
by the Hearing's Officer. While buffering, landscaping, and other regulations can be
applied to wireless facilities, the code has no specific language or standards directed
j specifically at these facilities.
Summary of Proposed Ordinance:
Staff has attached a proposed ordinance that will address the requirements of the Federal
Communications Act and provide for reasonable regulation of wireless facilities. We are
fortunate to have learned from the experience of other cities and have reviewed regulations
from throughout the country. The proposed ordinance is a close adaptation of a model
developed from the experience of Oregon cities and with input from the wireless industry.
The City's consultant team working on the community development code rewrite provided
us with the model and code language to incorporate into the rewrite. Staff has reformatted
the draft back to the existing code format so that the new wireless regulations could be
considered without waiting until the code rewrite is complete.
The new code section provides for an incentive based system for location. It recognizes
that regulations must not have the effect of prohibiting service and provides for the ability of
wireless companies to place facilities where their cellular needs occur.
THE PROPOSED "CRAFT" ORDINANCE INCLUDES:

> collocation is encouraged in that use of existing towers is permitted outright;

! camouflaged like native tree species. This has, apparently, been successful only in the
i desert southwest. While design companies claim that they can make towers look like
j palm, lodgepole pine and fir trees, it has been indicated that the costs of maintenance
and construction are higher. Other than pictures of the faux tree towers and building
adornments, staff has no examples of such camouflage techniques.

improvements require the relocation of Grantee's equipment, Grantee must relocate the
equipment at its own expense.
SECTION 5. Whenever it becomes necessary to temporarily rearrange, remove, lower or raise the wires,
cables or other plant of grantee for the passage of buildings, machinery or other objects,

plan so as to permit such passage, and shall deposit in advance with grantee a sum equal
to such cost as estimated by grantee and shall pay all damages and claims of any kind
whatsoever, direct or consequential, caused directly or indirectly by changing, altering,
moving, removing or replacing of said wires, cables or other plant, except as may be
occasioned through the sole negligence of grantee, grantee shall be given not less than
ninety-six (96) hours written notice by the party desiring to move such building or other
objects. Said notice shall detail the route of movement of such building or other objects over
and along the streets, alleys, avenues, thoroughfares and public highways and shall bear
the approval of the City. Such moving shall be with as much haste as possible and shall not
be necessarily delayed or cause grantee unnecessary expense or waste of time.
SECTION 5. The franchise granted is subject to the following conditions:
a. If the City requests telecommunications services from Grantee. Grantee may
deduct the charges for such services from license fee payments upon prior written
approval of the City. Grantee shall charge the City at Grantee's most favorable rate
charged for a similar service within two years of providing services to the City.

shall be made quarterly on or before 45 days after the preceding quarter
commencing with the quarter ending September 30, 1997, and continuing for each I
quarter for the term of this franchise. Payments shall be accompanied by a
statement of how the total due amount was calculated, including an explanation of
gross revenue for services to each customer for whom one end-point of service was
located outside of the City. Payments not received by the 45th day of each quarter
will be assessed interest at the rate of one per cent over the existing prime rate,
compounded daily.
C. Gross revenues earned on telecommunications services means all revenues
earned on services provided by Grantee including and limited to:
(1) connections between interexchange carriers or competitive carriers and
any entity other than another interexchange carrier, competitive carrier or a
telephone company providing local exchange services;

d. For subsections c (1) & (2) above, gross revenues will be calculated when:
(1) both end-points are located within the City;
(2) one end-point is located within the City and another is located outside the
City calculated as follows:
G(io) = R(io) x (C I T), where
io = service between an address inside the City and an
address outside the City, or within the City if through
another exchange,
R = total revenues earned by Grantee for that service,
C = linear feet of cable within City carrvinq that service. and r
T = total linear feet of cable carrying that service; and
e. City has the right to expand the subsection (c) definition of gross revenues earned
on telecommunications services after 90 days written notice to Grantee if any of the

telecommunications services on revenues from services substantially 1
similar to those offered by Grantee, but are not within the current
subsection (c) definition of gross revenues;
1
(2) state law changes concerning the telecommunications services included in
I the revenue base for franchise fees or privilege taxes on
telecommunications utilities;
(3) state law changes concerning the definition of competitive and non-
competitive telecommunications services. i r

revenues as defined herein. Any difference of payment due either the City or
Grantee through error or otherwise as agreed upon by both the City and Grantee,
shall be payable within thirty (30) days after discovery of such error.
1
SECTION 7. This franchise takes effect thirty (30) days after the date of signature provided Grantee files
a written acceptance of this ordinance with the City by that date. Such acceptance must
accept all terms, conditions and restrictions cuntained in this ordinance. The failures of MFS
i
to file this acceptance within 30 days prevents this ordinance from granting a franchise or

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD '
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council s
FROM: William A. Monahan, City Man. ger
DATE: August 6, 1997
SUBJECT: Special Event Costs
i During the Study Session preceding the Council meeting of July 8, 1997, Council briefly
j discussed my July 2 memo which presented Festival of Balloon costs for 1997. Council
t directed that a general discussion be held at a future meeting. Time has set aside at the August
1 12 Study Session for the discussion. After that discussion takes place, Council suggested that
d it would be appropriate to have a discussion of Festival costs with Bruce Ellis, the event
organizer.
i"
Festival of Balloon Costs:
t
3 The July 2, 1997 memo presented a breakdown of expenses for City departments involved in
the event. Some departments incurred special expenses and/or overtime costs. Council asked
that staff review the costs and separate those costs incurred only for special events from costs
which would have been incurred anyway. (That is, regular shifts, seasonal repairs to the
parks, etc.) The costs shown in the July 2 memo and the breakout of special and regular costs
is as follows:
July 2 Memo Regular Special
Engineering 696.03 696.03 0
j Public Works 28,604.42 9,666.64 18,937.78
Police 11,995.83 5,245.36 6,750.47 - -

Therefore, the total estimated cost to the City was $41,561.42. Of this total, $15,873.17 was
labor and materials which would have been expended, even if the event was not held. The
remaining $25,688.25 was spent only because the Festival of Balloons was held.
Public Works expenditures on the Festival included:
Public Works expenditures on the Festival included:
$15,066.73 for 569.75 hours of labor
$2,727.70 of material costs
$1,143.35 of outside contractor cost (electrician)
Of the 569.75 hours, the major expenses were related to:
Hours
Field surveying (flagging for wetlands buffer
and parking lot set-up) 83
Stage set-up and take-down 123
Sign making, set-up, take-down 51.75
Cone/barricade set-up and pick-up 24
Festival clean-up 236
Material costs for Public Works were:
Sign material for 65 signs* $1,922.80
Steel for sign stands 187.90
Rock roadway 617.00
Total $2,727.70
*The signs can be used in future years for the event.
i
An electrician was hired to address a need that developed during the event. Electrical power
i was needed by the food vendors and other Festival staff.
Police costs directly related to the event were somewhat offset by 708 hours of volunteer help
provided by our Police Reserves, State Troopers, and Reserves from Beaverton, King City,
Sherwood, Tualatin, and `Jest Linn. The Pacific Northwest Search and Rescue Squad also i -
contributed time to the event. y~

Memo to Council

August 6, 1997

4th of July Costs:
In contrast to the Festival of Balloons, the 4th of July celebration has maintained a consistent
series of activities over the past ten years. The event continues to require the same services
from the City that it has for years, such as:
1. Police assistance and traffic control
2. Public Works assistance in digging a trench for fireworks canisters
3. Insurance riders to cover the pyrotechnic operator
Costs associated with this year's event were:
Police - $1,093 (18 regular hours and 14.5 overtime hours)
4
Public Works - $388.50 for overtime (above the holiday pay which those employees
3 who worked were already entitled to).
Other assistance was provided during regular business hours as the City arranged for event
insurance and obtained 36 hours of volunteer assistance by the Police Reserves.
Issues
Council expressed some concerns about the amount of the City contribution to the Festival of
Balloons. In the past, special events have been granted City financing through the budgeting
process. During the most recent budget cycle, staff provided the Council and citizen members
of the Budget Committee with estimates of the additional contributions made by the City to
events and social service agencies in the prior year. J
I
As events grow, in number, size of crowds, and in need for City involvement, the cost to the 1
City could grow unless some controls are put in place. The fine line between an event being
"City sponsored" and "City run" at times becomes difficult to determine. During the course
of an event, a City official may be put in the position of making a judgment call that either
incurs cost for the City or deflects cost to event organizers. It would be very helpful to
U establish some policies for application at future events.
l ~
1 i
rF_
Memo to Council
August , 1997
Page Four
Staff has identified several policy issues for discussion by Council. Once preliminary
! direction is given, staff can prepare a set of policies for use in guiding City involvement in
future events, while controlling the level of contribution.
i
Policy Questions
1. What is the level of City contribution to a "City-sponsored event?"
2. When and how should the City level of involvement be set? `
3. Should the City set a "budget" of funds to be earmarked for the event with i'
Department Heads authorized to expend up to that amount? That is, if Police i
have within their budget an amount of $6,000 set aside for the Festival of
Balloons above and beyond the contribution of regularly-paid staff time, can the
department expend up to that amount for any reasonable means of supporting
the event (overtime, cost to replace supplies used, etc.?) i.
i
4. Should City contributions to events be requested by event organizers during the J
budget process? For example, should an organizer submit a request which
details a proposal which is all inclusive for:
1 Y
A. Financial contributions (i.e., cash to be used by the organizers).
B. City staff commitments, both assignment of employees and overtime to
help set up, police, or clean up after an event.
C. Expected expenses such as physical improvements to facilities to
accommodate the event, (i.e., running electrical service to a location for
stage events) materials to be purchased for the event (i.e., gravel to
create a new access way or parking lot).
5. Should events be expected to always require a City contribution or is there a
point that events are expected to be self sufficient; i.e., operate on their own
without City contribution and/or reimburse the City for costs incurred to
support the event?
6. If an event has the means to generate revenue, (such as for parking on City
land) should the City have the opportunity to recover some or all of the revenue
to offset City costs?
i

i 7. Should the City capitalize on special events and devise fund raising methods to
recover some or all of City contributions?
Staff will be prepared to discuss fees, policy questions and others at the Study Session portion
of the August 12 Council meeting.

To: City of Tigard (and to whom it may concern) l
Date: 8-6-1997 (Hand delivered at the meeting below) I
Subject: The Proposed Hams-McMonagle subdivision (near the new Royalty Parkway
road, primarily above Summemeld) review meeting of 8-7-97. 1
Tigard City should be commended for unbottling traffic between Naeve/109th and the (parallel)
roads to the east. There is already very good east-west access from Naeve to the Grade, Jr. High,
I
and High Schools due to recent developments. Naeve of course connects to Royalty Parkway up
and over the hill to Canterbury, then thru connecting roads to the Jr High and Grade Schools.
Similarly, Naeve to 109th to Highland drive to Surnmerfield Drive to 100th to Durham Road,
then to the High School, is simply a major asset. Either route connects well to 100th, 99th,
Sattler, Durham etc. However, the weakest of these two routes is the one over the hill causing
additional traffic on Canterbury.
Naeve (intersecting with Royalty Parkway) proceeds straight to 109th, thence to Highland
Drive/Greenway, and to Surnmerfield Drive. This is the most desirable route for heavy east/west
traffic because of existing Summemeld conditions. These roads have low internal (retirement
base) traffic, which is particularly low at school and work commuting times in the mornings).
t Surnmerfield Drive is an especially good route for handling the bulk of this east-west traffic
because of the absolute safety this well planned road affords. It is 36 feet wide, with green belts
t between sidewalks on each side of the road. It has nice open, wide and clear vision because of
the level terrain and very adequate set-back of houses, all augmented by the low density
j
! population. However, the most important traffic flow safety factor (by far) comes from the "no
j parking"signs posted every few yards over the entire length of Summemeld Drive. Tigard City I
should try to cause 50% or more of the area's east-west traffic to use this safe
j Summerfield corridor, by not opening significantly more dangerous and un-necessary
i
east-west corridors. E
The excellent planned route (involving Naeve to Royaltly Parkway (40 ft wide with outstanding f
open visibility across sidewalks on each side), would add a new road through the proposed sub-
division connecting with Lady Marion. This is a reasonably high priority safety need, to take {
pressure off Canturbury and provide east-west traffic convenience. This route would open onto {
100th street, yielding a nice decision at 100th to either go up the hill to Murdock or McDonald l
I
and the grade/jr. high schools, or down to Sattler or lower Kahle (lower Kable is wide and has
I sidewalks on both sides), then to Durham Road and the high school. Lady Marion is a nice, (34
ft. wide) road with sidewalks on both sides, high driver safety visibility , and a nice curve to
control speed. The new (Royalty Parkway) apartment traffic would likely choose this route to go
to the gmde/jr. high schools, (but again would probably choose the Surnmerfield corridor to the
{ high school). Tigard City should make every effort to join Royalty Parkway to Lady
Marion now, by utilizing the proposed new subdivision land to accomplish this feat.
I
i

a
Options involving the new (proposed) through-roads of Kahle and Hoodview to 109th/
Royal Parkway:
i Both Hoodview and upper Kable have narrow roads at present, while all previously mentioned
corridor roads are at least 34 ft.). Kable/Hoodview have no sidewalks, very poor visibility, and
inadequate set-backs of houses with respect to the road, while all previously mentioned corridor
roads have sidewalks and excellent side-road vision area and set-backs for safety. Kable and
Hoodview roads were planned using county criteria in the mid 1960's. The criteria used then
was nowhere near the excellent land-use criteria now required by the city of Tigard, which again
has been met or exceeded on all previously mentioned corridors. Both Kable/Hoodyiew roads
have extremelv blind and dangerous driveways with very steep up-hill side slopes that
empty right onto the two roads. A short drive on these two roads readily convinces one of this
fact. The dirt cuts alone hide pedestrians from approaching traffic (particularly children living in
the area, or worse still, visiting children). Shrubs and other plants obscure driver/pedestrian
vision even more. Widening these two roads or adding sidewalks on the Kable/Hoodview uphill
bank side would be very costly, and would in essence prove impossible since cars entering their
driveways at present scrape their bumpers on the road because of the abrupt driveway slopes.
Restricting parking on these two streets would not sufficiently offset the danger of the high-bank
drivewaycuts, would impose parking unfairness on the residents, and lower property values
significantly. Tigard City should not endanger Kable and Hoodview residents by adding
east-west, high use, thru- traffic onto these two roads.
{ Furthermore:
Lady Marion empties onto 100th less than 100 yards from Kable Street. Lady Marion,
Hoodview, and Kable are very close together. It is too costly for the city, too j
dangerous to the residents, unfair to tax payers, and simply unnecessary to build the
two additional Kable/Hoodview corridors f
Finally, in addition: f i
I believe adding the Kable and Hoodview extension roads through this sub-division III
would cause difficulty in effective sub-division planning, because the three roads
would be so close to one another, and would be unfair to the developer of the proposed
sub-division.
t
Having worked in a surveying/city engineering capacity for a number of years, and having lived
in my current home for 28 years convinces me that the analysis above regarding this
neighborhood development is sound.
Sincerely,
R .Terry . ith

MEMORANDUM
CITY OF TIGARD
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: William A. Monahan, City Manager
DATE: August 8, 1997
SUBJECT: Erickson Property - Little Bull Mountain
Over the last few days there has been a flurry of activity related to the Erickson woodlot, east
of the Arbor Heights development, north of Renaissance Summit and Summerfield. The
property is heavily treed and has been discussed as a future subdivision. Randy Sebastian of
Renaissance Homes has indicated an interest in acquiring the land. In fact, he held a
community meeting on July 31, 1997 to discuss his plans. The property owner has inquired
about permission to remove the trees immediately.
Several neighborhoods are concerned about the potential impacts from tree loss, erosion,
drainage, street connections, density, etc. Staff will be prepared to bring Council up to speed
on this issue at the Study Session portion of Tuesday evening's Council meeting.
A map showing locations of the property is attached. Staff is researching:
1. Woodlot regulation - what can be required of a woodlot owner when trees are
removed?
2. What level of erosion and/or drainage plans can be required when a woodlot is
cleared'?
3. Can other studies be required of the property owner before tree clearing when
development below may be threatened with increased runoff?

Re: Tax Lots 2S11ODA-00100, 00200, 00500
It has come to the City's attention that you are considering logging the trees on
the above noted property. Please be aware that all necessary permits must be
obtained and all regulations must be followed.
I recognize that you intend to comply with all applicable standards and
procedures, however, it is critical that no tree removal occur on the property until
permits are obtained. Failure to obtain permits and to comply to applicable
standards is a civil infraction and subject to penalty.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 639-4171.

Subject: Urban Growth Management Functional Plan Issues;
Tigard Triangle
Dear 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
any disputes or application of specific provisions must be addressed by MPAC and the
J" Metro Council.
General Continents
qz. 4,
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
i of Transportation (ODOT). The City has ultimate land use approval authority and
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
to help begin implementing the Region 2040 Growiil Concept. The U1-'-FP implementz
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
requirements. To that extent, the UGMFP is not strictly a Metro document. It was i
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
1 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.

Specific Continents
Following are our responses to specific comnunts and questions raised at the meeting.
1. Continent: The group asked for clarification as to the general intent, purpose, and
benefits of the Design Stmndanls fin Street Connectivity as required in Title 6, Section 3 of
the UGMFP.
I Response: The UGMFP notes that the effectiveness of the regional
{ transportation system is impacted when local travel is restricted by a lack of I
1 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
connections are conducive to increased use of alternative modes (more direct
access to transit, walking and biking is less circuitous, etc.). f
2. Comment: Public street rf8its-of-7vaJ and other development requirements i
(landscaping, sidewalks) will render the properties in the area undevelopable.
Response: Metro staff noted at the meeting that we have supported the
! concept of "skinny" streets in the past as one way to help maximize densities
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
j narrow as 46 feet in some areas. This is significantly less than normal minimum
!i right-of-way requirements of 60 feet for local streets. We would support exploring
the option of skinny streets with the City of Tigard for streets internal to
commercial and/or mixed use developments within the Triangle.
9
We also noted that pedestrian connections (primarily sidewalks) are required from
j streets to building entryways under the Transportation Planning Rule. Those
connections should already be included in the developable land calculations. ,j
Similarly, landscape requirements are generally the rule, not the exception within
J most local codes, and have been for a number of years. Landscape requirements
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 even) 660
feet)?
r
1
Response: We noted that the UGMFP does not specifically address this
J question. However, our preference is for full intersections in order to maximize
traffic operations and safety. We also understand that circumstances may result
J in a few partial connections in certain areas. Whether the intersections are full or
partial, we would expect the 8 to 20 standard to be met on both sides of a street
where conditions allow. Title 6, Section 3.A.l.h. and Section 3.13. 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
d
7 freeways, or environmental constraints such as major streams or rivers.
f
Gordon Martin, Jr. s
' June 23, 1997
Page 3
4. Comment: Can private streets be included as part of the 8 to 20 street connections i
per rule 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
public access and circulation.
5. Comment: What was intended by the teen "local origin" under the Performance {
t Option of Title 6, Section 3.B.2?
Response: As a set of minimum standards, Section 3.B.2 was written for
residential areas or mixed use areas that include residential. It was understood
that in those areas, buildings are set either at the street or at a short, insignificant I
distance back from the property line consistent with State Transportation Planning
d Rule requirements. There was no need to differentiate whether local origin was the
3 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
asked to re-draft the language for large commercial developments, we would likely
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
r 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
3 Triangle. As we agreed, I would appreciate you circulating this letter to the other non-
staff meeting participants. If you have questions or if I may be of further help, please
call me at 797-1743.

Michael Hoglund

Dear Gordon:
As a follow-up to my June 23 letter regarding Tigard Triangle Planning issues, this letter
is intended to respond to an additional question you had regarding Metro's Urban
Growth Management Functional Plan (UGMFP). As noted in our previous letter, we
stated that these letters attempt to assist the parties in implementing the UGMFP. Our
comments explain our approach to administering the UGMFP provisions. Resolutions of
any disputes or application of specific provisions must be addressed by MPAC and the
Metro Council.
We also noted, and we repeat here, that the authority for land use and transportation
implementation actions within this area resides with the City of Tigard and with the
Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The City has ultimate land use
approval authority and both the City and ODOT have responsibility for the area's
street and highway system. Again, we will update them on our following clarification.
Finally, we again note that 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.
In your most recent request, you ask how the term "local origin," as stated in Title 6,
Section 3.13.2. of the UGMFP, applies to a local origin for a vehicle trip. As noted in our
June 23 letter, the term "local origin" was oriented towards residential or mixed-use
areas. There was no need to differentiate whether local origin was the property line or
the front door. As noted earlier, if Metro staff were to re-draft the language, the point of
local origin for pedestrians would likely be the front door. The objective would be to
make the trip as short and convenient as possible for pedestrians.
If asked to re-draft the point of origin language for motor vehicles, we likely would begin
measuring from the public street right-of-way. This is because the "point of origin"
measure is intended to ensure that public streets provide a direct street route between
private properties and collector and arterial streets. Site design tools can better address
front door orientation on private property to public streets. The State Transportation
Planning Rule (OAR 660-12-045) provides guidance to local jurisdictions regarding on-

site private streets and vehicle circulation. The UGMFP was not intended to augment
those requirements.
I hope this response addresses your latest concerns.

! STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Authorize the Mayor to sign the purchase and sale agreement negotiated by staff.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
The North Dakota trail project is identified in the 1997-98 city CIP. The project will complete a missing link in
the existing trail system. It will tie together the discontinuous Scholls/North Dakota and Windmill Apartments - -
nail segments. The property owner is willing to sell the approximately two acres of floodplain located on his
and. He is unwilling to sell a smaller portion of the land. A map of the property is attached.
} I
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
L
Withdraw the city's offer and do not complete a trail.
FISCAL NOTES
1
The acquisition of right-of-way and completion of the trail is identified in the current parks CIP. The overall C
budget set for the project is $50,000. The $30,000 purchase price is consistent with the appraised value of the ! .
property. A copy of the transmittal page of the appraisal report referencing this figure is attached. I
The use of Park SDC rather than Greenspace dollars is proposed. This is because the acquisition of the site has
been identified as a CIP project for a number of years, and Greenspace rules prohibit using Greenspaces finds to
replace other funds on projects.

COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Budget Adjustment for business tax review
PREPARED BY: -Wayne-- DEPT HEAD OK CITY ADMIN OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Shall the City Council authorize a budget adjustment in the amount of $6,000
j to fund temporary help to identify businesses located in Tigard but not
currently paying business tax?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the budget adjustment.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
The City collects an estimated $200,000 per year in the general fund from
the business tax. Our current data base includes 2,800 businesses currently
paying the tax. The City has not done a review of businesses in Tigard in
many years and therefore the completeness of our business tax data base has
questionable. I -
f ;,rte estimate that over 4,000 businesses are located in Tigard. Given that
1! our database only includes 2,800 businesses, it would appear that many are {
currently here but not paying the tax. Due to the inequity of some paying
and some not paying, we feel this is an important step to take.
1 We are proposing to hire a temporary employee to actually go into the field 4
with our data base and identify any businesses not on our list. We will
enter them into our data base and send them a bill for the tax for 1997. We
hope to finish this step cf updating our data base this fall so that all
businesses will be included in our renewal process for 1998 coming up in
December.
We have estimated the cost of this process at $6,000 which was not included
in the adopted budget. We estimate that if we are able to locate 600
businesses not currently paying the tax, we will cover our costs and add
revenue to the general fund in the amount of $27,000. The attached
resolution makes the necessary budget adjustment to allow us to proceed with
this process.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Not approve adjustment and continue current effort.

l ~ •
Shall the City Council approve the Intergovernmental Agreement for purchase of the property at the southwest
comer of the Walnut Street/Tiedeman Avenue Intersection for future realignment of Walnut Street at that area?
i ~ .
1 STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve, by motion, the Intergovernmental Agreement for Property
Acquisition at the Intersection of Walnut Street and Tiedeman Avenue, and authorize the Mayor to sign the
agreement on behalf of the City. j
~ II
INFORMATION SUMMARY
i
ashington County and the City of Tigard have agreed to jointly purchase an 0.89 acre parcel of property at the
southwest comer of the intersection of Walnut Street and Tiedeman Avenue to accommodate future realignment
of Walnut Street to correct an existing dog-leg configuration. Washington County has agreed to share half the
a costs of purchasing the property and demolishing and clearing existing structures from the property. One of the
' structures was a small house that had been severely damaged by fire. The participation of the County in sharing
the cost was approved by the County Board of Commissioners on August 6, 1996. Traffic Impact Fee (TIF)
1 funds were authorized for the acquisition and demolition work. The acquisition of the property was approved by
l City Council during the July 23, 1996 business meeting. The entire project was authorized and funded in the
1
q City of Tigard's 1996-97 CIP Budget. The intent of both parties is that the City would take the lead in the
property acquisition and demolition work, pay for all costs, and request reimbursement for half the costs from
the County at the conclusion of the work.
3 The City of Tigard proceeded with the purchase of the property and contracted for the demolition of the existing
j house and appurtenant structures, paying all costs involved with the intention of billing the County for half the
s total costs. The property was acquired in August 1996, and the demolition work was completed December 1996.
The total costs incurred is $152,247.93. An invoice for half of the total costs in the amount of $76,123.97 was
j sent to Washington County in January 1997. After numerous followup actions on the invoice for
reimbursement, the County finally informed the City that execution of an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA)
would be required before the County could reimburse the City for half the costs incurred. A draft IGA was
transmitted to the City on July 24, 1997. The attached draft IGA has been reviewed and is determined to be in
conformance with the original understanding between the City and the County prior to commencement of the
-oject. The original copies of the IGA are now being transmitted by the County and will be provided to City I
! `.council prior to the August 12 meeting date.

~^lpproval of the Intergovernmental Agreement by the City of Tigard and the County Board of Commissioners

OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSI FRED
Reject the proposed IGA. This would further delay the reimbursement of half the costs incurred by the City.

TIF funding in the amount of $75,000, which represents approximately half the estimated costs of the entire

ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE RESOLUTION TO ADOPT TUAL ATIN VALLEY FIRE AND RESCUE DISTRICT
ORDINANCE NO. 96-01
PREPARED BY: David Scott DEPT HEAD OK t ' CITY MGR OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
i
Should the Council adopt Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue District Ordinance No. 96-01
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
i
Adopt Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue Ordinance No. 96-01
INFORMATION SUMMARY
i
Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue District (TVFR) provides fire prevention services within Tigard. Part of this service
includes adopting a fire prevention code. Effective October 21, 1996, TVFR updated its' ordinance by passing Ordinance `
No. 96-01, adopting the 1994 Uniform Fire Code and Standards, with some amendments. The previous TVFR ordinance
eted the 1991 Uniform Fire Code and Standards, which Tigard adopted by Resolution 93-02. ORS 478.924 requires
i tha[ Tigard adopt the TVFR ordinance by resolution for it to be effective in Tigard. If Tigard does not adopt the TVFR
ordinance, TVFR would enforce the provisions of the State Fire Code, which also adopts the 1994 Uniform Fire Code and
I Standards. It is in the best interest of Tigard's citizens to enjoy the fire prevention code and standards adopted by the local
service provider, TVFR. An Analysis of Revisions prepared by TVFR is attached with key items starred by staff
l; Currently, there are differences between the road and street standards in the TVFR ordinance and those in Tigard's
Community Development Code. This has resulted in some ambiguity with respect to which standards supersede. 1 ,I
Legislation passed this session with anticipated Governor approval, which clarifies this issue. Under the new legislation,
county or city road and street standards supersede and prevail over similar standards set forth in local fire district
ordinances. The legislation requires the local municipality to consult with the local fire district. Currently, TVFR and j
Tigard are jointly responsible for ensuring that roads and streets meet TVFR requirements. The impact of this legislation
is that Tigard will be unilaterally responsible for ensuring that roads and streets provide adequate fire district access. To
this end, Tigard will work cooperatively with TVFR to ensure that TVFR's needs are accommodated. Attached is a staff
memo explaining how our review will be accomplished
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Not adopting the TVFR ordinance. Staff believes it is not in Tigard's best interest to defer to the state fire code and not
give TVFR authority to enforce their fire code within Tigard.

CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON Sh"'I`q A B`""`°"'°"""'
i TO: Jim Hendryx
i
FROM: Dick Bewersdorff
DATE: July 30, 1997
SUBJECT: Plan Review Related to Adoption of Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue (TVF&R)
District Ordinance
The City of Tigard street standards vary from those of the TVF&R District in some respects.
These include provisions for narrower streets, smaller cul-de-sac radii, and steeper street
grades in the city standards. Our standards were based on work that the City of Portland and
other cities underwent with their fire bureaus, recognizing the need for more flexibility and cost
reduction.
~ The impact of the City of Tigard being unilaterally responsible for ensuring adequate fire access
means increased coordination and effort related to development design where projects vary
from TVF&R standards. The TVF&R District will no longer provide written comments. They
will, however, have a Fire Marshall at the City (normally Wednesday mornings) to review plans
as time permits. They have indicated they will also meet with staff to review the TVF&R District
standards. Those standards have normally been added to the conditions of approval for
developments with TVF&R sign-off in some cases.
The TVF&R District standards will continue to be reviewed by City engineering, building, and I
planning staff as they relate to development proposals. Where there are substantial reasons to
vary from TVF&R standards, special conditions will have to be crafted. An example is the City
taking responsibility for assuring that narrower streets are posted (and enforced) with "NO ,
PARKING" signs to allow for fire access. Another option might be the provision of fire
sprinklers for all buildings served by narrower streets. Some of the conditions may mean
additional development costs.
The overall consequence of the City being responsible for ensuring fire access and protection
is the need for careful coordination of staff and fire district review. In some cases, the City may
choose not to proceed with the minimum city standards if there are unavoidable fire access
hazards or unsatisfactory alternatives. It might mean that developers incur increased costs for
providing fire sprinklers in order to gain the design benefits of minimum street standards.

' ORDINANCE 96-01
ANALYSIS OF REVISIONS
Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue is an Exempt Jurisdiction. Exempt status indicates that a
governmental subdivision, such as TVF&R, has enacted adequate regulations generally
conforming to state and national standards concerning fire prevention, fire safety measures and
building construction requirements for safety, and also provides reasonable enforcement of its
regulations. Because TVF&R meets these requirements, the State Fire Marshal has exempted the -
area subject to such regulations from the statutes, rules and regulations administered by the State
Fire Marshal. This analysis is created in order to explain the provisions included in the adoption of
the District's Fire Prevention Ordinance which is required element of an Exempt jurisdiction.
SECTION I -ADOPTION OF UNIFORM CODES
Part A - Adopts the 1994 edition (most current) of the Uniform Fire Code (UFC). The UFC is
revised and reprinted on a three year cycle by the International Fire Code Institute. The
i Appendices are adopted because the UFC states that the provisions of any Appendix
chapter do not apply unless specifically adopted. 4
Part B -Adopts the 1994 edition of the Uniform Fire Code Standards. The Standards are a
companion document to the UFC and are therefor necessary to carry out the provisions of
the Code. An example is UFC Standard 10-1 which states when fire extinguishers are
3 required and also specifies type, size and location.
SECTION fl - DEFINITIONS
j This entire section is comprised of definitions some of which are necessary to correspond with
Ordinance amendments and the needs of the District. These definitions are adopted here _
ibecause they are not found in the UFC.
SECTION III. IV. & V - ESTABLISHMENT OF LIMITS
These three sections are necessary to establish limits for the storage of flammable or combustible
liquids, explosives and blasting agents and liquefied petroleum gas as set forth by the District. 1
The limits are a reflection of the UFC with an Exception added to each that allows the installation
of above ground storage tanks in certain areas that fall into a low hazard category.
SECTION VI -AMENDMENTS TQ THE UNIFORM FIRE CODE 4
Item 1 - Replaces the term "Administrator" with "Board of Directors" in order to correspond with
TVF&R's Rural Fire Protection District (RFPD) status.
Item 2 - The UFC calls out certain statutes and regulations that a fire department or district is
authorized to enforce. RFPD's such as TVF&R are formed by authority of Oregon I
j Revised Statute, Chapter 478. The amendment to this section adds additional items that
an RFPD may regulate as authorized by ORS 478.920.
i Item 3 - Left as is, this section would require the District to inspect all buildings and premises.
Ii Therefor, word "shall" is changed to "may", because budgetary constraints do not allow for
this to happen. This amendment allows for a more flexible approach to inspections based
on the degree of hazard for each occupancy. Some low hazard occupancies do not need
to be inspected every year and some high hazard occupancies need inspected two times
a year.
Item 4,- The word "misdemeanor" is replaced with the phrase "Violation of Code". ORS 478.930
uses this term when referring to an RFPD. This amendment is necessary in order to
comply with statutory language regarding RFPDs. j
l !
s
1
Item 5 - The District does not adopt the procedures specified in the Uniform Code for the
i Abatement of Dangerous Buildings. The District does not have the authority to require
repairs or order destruction of a building, therefor this portiori is removed.
i /^!tem 6 - The UFC has an extensive list of items or processes that require a permit. This section is
' amended to reflect the items or processes for which the District requires a permit. The
entire section is deleted and reformatted as per District requirements, including Item #7, a
newly developed Table 105, Permit amounts for Hazardous Materials. The permit
amounts in Table 105 are not intended for revenue or notification reasons, rather they are
designed to reveal the exact amount of hazardous materials contained within a building in
order to determine the appropriate occupancy classification.
Item 8 - Model code language does not specify design or layout requirements for No Parking signs
i or curb and surface markings. This section specifies the District's requirements.
Item 9 - The addition of this section gives the Chief the authority to have vehicles towed in the
event they are an obstruction to fire suppression efforts. This amendment is necessary
because the UFC does not address the authority to have vehicles towed.
Item 10 - UFC fire flow requirements are nonspecific in order to accommodate a broad range of
fire departments and fire districts. This amendment expands on model code language by
designating fire flow requirements of the District. These requirements are based on
1 calculated fire flows necessary to suppress a fire in any given structure. The District
Board determined the level of fire protection the taxpayers could provide and any
requirements beyond that level must be provided by the developer. i
Item 11 - The UFC requires the installation of fire hydrants, but is very general. This section
details the District requirements for distribution and placement of fire hydrants and fire
department connections for both commercial and non-commercial structures and meets
i Insurance Services Office (ISO) requirements for distance to hydrants. (ISO evaluates
individual fire districts, and assigns a classification between one and ten that is used by
{ the insurance industry in setting fire insurance rates.) i
Item 12 - Article 30 addresses the storage, manufacturing, processing and sale of wood products i
and has been completely rewritten by the Oregon Fire Code Committee. This
amendment is necessary in order to comply with the requirement for a manual fire alarm
system as stated in Article 30. The requirement is found in Article 10, Fire Protection
Systems and Equipment.
Item 13 - This section is amended to correspond with the State Fire Marshal's amendment which
establishes limits and standards for portable electric heaters.
Item 14 - This section is adopted in order to address the growing concerns surrounding the j
handling of recyclable materials. The language contained in this amendment reflects the
cooperative efforts of the Oregon fire service and the recycling industry. Most of the
original draft of this section for the 1991 UFC was developed by TVF&R for the State Fire
Marshal.
Item 15 - The phrase "When required by the Chief" is added because new model code language
requires emergency plans and drills for all R-1 (apartment) Occupancies. This
requirement is far from realistic and therefor discretionary language was needed in order
i to alleviate the District of this responsibility. The District does not want to be charged
with the responsibility of developing emergency plans for all apartment buildings.
Item 16 - Article 30 is a complete rewrite by the Oregon Fire Code Committee. This new language
is adopted by the State of Oregon and will become model UFC language in 1997. The F
2
revised article reflects the efforts of the Oregon fire services and the wood products
industry to create performance based codes that allow for the evolution of industry
processes, but maintain a reasonable degree of fire and life safety.
(-')Item 17 - Article 53 is an Oregon Amendment to the UFC that addresses the application of
Thermosetting Plastics (fiberglass). This article was created for the 1991 UFC and is
carried forward to the 1994 UFC. It exists because the provisions of Article 45,
Application of Flammable Finishes, are too restrictive to apply to the application of
thermosetting plastics.
Item 18 - Section 6323 is deleted because it requires prior notification and approval by the Chief in
order to interchange from one refrigerant to another, which includes commercial
y! refrigerators and other similar units. This subject is better addressed in the Mechanical
Code.
Item 19 - Certificates to purchase explosives are regulated by the State Fire Marshal. This I
amendment reflects the State Fire Marshal's amendment to Article 77. The use of I
explosives is regulated by the local authority (TVF&R).
Item 20 - Pyrotechnics and Fireworks are regulated by the State Fire Marshal. This amendment is
necessary in order to stay in line with state regulations, it reflects State Fire Marshal .
requirements.
Item 21 - Model code language requires plans to be submitted to store more than 5,000 gallons of
- a flammable or combustible liquid in an above ground tank. This is a very liberal amount
and is therefor modified downward by the District to a quantity of "more than 1,000 .
gallons". The decrease in the threshold limit is necessary due to the population density
-1 of the District.
Item 22 - Liquefied petroleum gas is closely regulated by the State Fire Marshal. This section is
amended to cite the Oregon Revised Statutes that regulate who is licensed to work on or
install LP-Gas tanks or vehicles powered by LP-Gas. The District is bound by these
statutes and must therefor recognize them here.
Item 23 - This section is amended to reflect the District's requirements for the submittal of fees
and plans for installation of LP-Gas containers. An exempt jurisdiction is allowed to
l require permits for items or processes that the UFC does not address.
i Item 24 - Utility Plants for LP-Gas are not addressed in model code language. They are, however,
3
present within the boundaries of the District and require a permit to operate.
Item 25 - This section refers to the State Fire Marshal requirement stating that a person must ?
obtain a gas installation license to install, alter, extend or repair LP-Gas equipment or
appliances. j
Item 26 - The amendment to this Footnote is required due to conflicting distance requirements
between the UFC and the UFC Standard. This is an oversight by the publishers of the
I UFC and is also amended by the State Fire Marshal.
Item 27 - This standard is added to correspond with Article 30, Wood Products. (see Item 12)
Item 28 - These two Appendices are State Fire Marshal amendments to the UFC. They are
adopted by the District because they address Haunted Houses and SR Occupancies
which both present unique fire and life safety issues. Appendices must be specifically
adopted in order for them to be enforceable.

Re: 3.5 MG Menlor Reservoir Project - Recommendation of Award
Dear Ed:
Bids were received and opened at 2:00 PM on July 11, 1997, at the Tigard Water
Department, for construction of the above referenced project. Three bids were received,
along with the required bid bonds, preliminary tank design calculations and preliminary shop
drawings. All three of the bidders proposed to use DYK Incorporated as their tank designer
and tank prestressor. The total bid amounts, which we have verified, are as follows: fs;
Marion Construction Co., Salem, OR $ 2,831,400.00
Ward-Henshaw Construction Co., Inc., Canby, OR $ 3,371,149.85
Ska-ir Construction Inc., Auburn, WA $ 3,896,625.30
Engineer's Estimate $ 3,200,000 to $ 3,600,000
4
i On July 14, 1997, we received a letter from Marion Construction Co., indicating that an error +'s L
{ was made in preparing their bid. One of their subcontractors made a mathematical error, '
i providing a quote that was $284,500.00 too low. Marion Construction Co. has provided
spreadsheets of the subcontractor's and their own bid preparation showing that the error was k;}
incorporated in the total bid amount. Copies of the letter and documentation are enclosed.
Due to this error, and on the advice of the City Attorney, we recommend that Marion f~
Construction Co.'s bid be rejected.
I
We reviewed the next lowest bid, submitted by Ward-Henshaw Construction Co., Inc., along
with their prequalification statement, preliminary tank design calculations and preliminary
Enclosures MSA
shop drawings. Their bid is complete and responsive. Therefore, we recommend award of
the contract to Ward-Henshaw Construction Co., Inc., in the amount of $3,371,149.85. With
the City's approval, we will provide Ward-Henshaw a Notice of Award and agreements. i

COUNCIL AGENDA TI'EM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Tigard Greensnace Program
n 1 I' /YYY` /y/, ,
PREPARED BY: Duane Roberts DEPT HEAD OK / I1 v `CITY MGR OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
What changes are needed to the city's official list of Greenspace projects and to the process used to implement i
these projects?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the action plan described in the attached staff report. This includes shifting more funds to the acquisition
3 of land within two previously approved Fanno Creek riparian areas. It also includes the identification of two
I Tualatin River riparian properties and a large Bull Mountain forest area. This identification of a target area
rather than specific parcels will eliminate the need to come back and amend the IGA whenever a specific
transaction goes awry.
j INFORMATION SUMMARY
In April 1996, Council adopted a list of projects for the use of the city's share of Metro Greenspaces bond
measure funds. The list included the acquisition of four specific forested parcels and unspecified riparian
properties within two stretches of Fanno Creek. To date, the city has completed the purchase of one forest
property. Changes in the real estate market, uncooperative owners, and inter-governmental cooperation
difficulties have contributed to delays in the implementation of the city's program.'
The local share agreements with Metro expire on September 1, 1998.
j OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Alternative actions are discussed in the staff report. They include reconsidering two previously identified land
acquisitions, greenway trail construction, and assisting the funding of Tualatin River pedestrian bridge design
work.
FISCAL NOTES
The city is eligible to receive $758,000 in Greenspaces funds. So far, the city has spent $125,000, leaving
8633,000 in unspent funds.

j Greenspaces Progress Report j
I
This report discusses the city's fourteen month-old Greenspaces program. It details work
efforts, describes difficulties, and recommends changes to the city's official list of project
priorities and current implementation process. The report also provides information on
the IGA (inter-governmental agreement) with Metro for the receipt of Greenspaces local
share funds.
i
The report's recommendations include adding funds to the previously approved Fanno i
Creek Corridor project. They also include the identification of two substitute projects: .
the acquisition of two specific Tualatin River properties and forest acreage within a Bull
Mountain target area. Another recommendation is using a portion of the Greenspaces
funds to hire a contract firm to negotiate with landowners.
Background
In May 1995, citizens of the Portland metro area approved the Greenspaces bond
measure. This measure provides funds to acquire natural areas, trail corridors and
greenways for the protection of their natural qualities and associated recreational i
S opportunities.
f ~
4r c/ The bond measure specified that $26 million of the bond measure funds would be
distributed to local park providers for capital improvements or land acquisitions for
neighborhood and community parks, open spaces, and trails.
Early last year, after extensive public participation, the city put together a list of
potentially suitable projects for the expenditure of its Greenspaces bond measure
entitlement. The list included the acquisition of four forest sites as well as creekside land
within two Fanno Creek greenway trail corridors.
To date, approximately 16 percent of Tigard's $758,000 in local share funds have been
spent. The city has been unable to complete three of the four site acquisitions. Progress
on the acquisition of greenway corridor property has been delayed. This rate of progress
1 is on par with other park providers. Region-wide, approximately 20 percent of the local
j share funds have been spent. I
I
Information on individual city target properties is as follows:
i
Forest Area along Fern Street:
This three-acre property, which connects with a larger city greenway to the south, was
purchased with local Greenspace funds in May 1996 for $125,000.
y
y Page 2
Forest at Bull Mountain Road and 129th:
In October 1996, the owners agreed to terms on the sale of this 12-acre property.
Approval to proceed with the acquisition was provided by the Tigard City Council and
the Washington County Commissioners, the city's partner on the site. The owners
subsequently backed out of their deal with the city and sold to a developer for an
undisclosed but "significantly higher" figure.
Forest area at Bond and 82nd Avenue:
1 The asking price of this 4-acre site was revised upward from $150,000 to $300,000 after a "
}
formal appraisal conducted by the city placed the value at $490,000. Council in February
decided to withdraw its offer to purchase the property and to pursue the acquisition of
other eligible properties. A recent letter from the owners restating their interest in selling
for Greenspace use at the revised asking price is attached to the end of this report.
Forest area north of Cook Park:
j After a period of negotiations, during which the city's offer to buy at the appraised value i "
was rejected by the owner, council decided to abandon this project. New correspondence €
from the owner is attached. The current asking price is higher and includes less land
than was true before negotiations were ended early this year.
Fanno Creek Trail Corridor between Tiedeman and Main and between Hall and Durham:
Metro identified the acquisition of land along these stream segments as a regional
Greenspaces project. The city identified this same creekside areas as a City-Metro fund
I sharing partnership. A preliminary implementation strategy discussed with Metro called
1 for their real estate staff to take the lead in conducting appraisals, environmental
assessments, and owner negotiations on the city's and Metro's behalf. For its part, city
staff sent letters to the owners of land along Fanno Creek to describe the Greenspaces
program and to help identify the landowners most receptive to selling. Unfortunately,
progress on this project has been delayed due to a shortage of Metro staff time available
to devote to acquisition activities. On the positive side, Metro's recent work effort on the
corridor has resulted in the purchase of a 7-acre creek front site adjacent to Woodard
Park, which Metro has agreed to re-sell to the city for park expansion. Additionally,
Metro has a large downstream site, with good Greenspace characteristics, under active
consideration for acquisition.
Recently, a new cooperative arrangement, involving the city going after the little fish and
Metro the big fish, has been discussed.

1. Washington County Greenspaces Site
The county is in the process of using a portion of its Greenspaces funds to purchase a 7.8-
acre site located on Bull Mountain adjacent to the water district property. It is described
as a good representation of the forested qualities of the Bull Mountain area, with a
mixture of coniferous and deciduous trees. It has a pre-existing trail network running
through it. Because it does not wish to expand its role as park service provider, the
county offered to donate the land to the city. Council considered and accepted this offer.
As of mid-July, the county was close to closing on the purchase transaction.
Greenspaces Local Share IGAs
I ~
Under the IGAs for the pass through of bond funds, eligible activities include natural area
and trail related projects. Active recreation projects, such as sports fields, play
structures, and community centers, are not eligible. Public participation in the selection
of projects and a willing seller approach to land acquisition are key features of the IGAs.
1
The agreements allow for project changes and the reallocation of funds to a different
a project. The process for changing the agreements consists of holding a public meeting to
j receive citizen comments, the adoption of a resolution finding that one or more projects is
cost prohibitive or otherwise unfeasible, and the determination of a substitute project.
1 The substitute project is subject to approval of Metro's Regional Parks and Greenspaces
Department Director. Metro Council approval is not required. No additional funds are
s»' available.
4
The IGAs terminate on September 1, 1998. Local park providers may apply to Metro for
a six month extension to March 1, 1999. Subsequent extensions may be granted, if
f necessary, to complete projects. Local park providers must obtain the approval of the
extension from the Greenspaces director. {
Substitute Proiects
Because the city has been unable to complete the purchase of three of its approved
Greenspace sites, there is a need to revise the list of sites and to complete the IGA
amendment process.
I
To facilitate this and the city's parkland acquisition process, during the period March-
May, a Council-staff work group met to look at new sites potentially available for park
and Greenspaces acquisition. Several vacant properties located within the city were
considered. With regard to Greenspace sites, the group identified three small properties
located along the Tualatin River between Cook Park and the railroad tracks. The owner
of two of the properties was contacted and is receptive to selling. The owners of a third
property are willing to donate their property for Greenspaces purposes. No other feasible
Greenspace candidate sites were identified. The two riverside properties available for
1 sale are listed below as recommended substitute sites. Together, the value of these
I
l
Page 4
i
properties is $25,000. Should Council decide to use Greenspace funds to acquire these
sites, $613,000 in unspent local share funds would remain.
Recommendations
1
In response to the need to identify new projects, staff recommends the following:
(1) Tualatin River Properties:
Identify the two above river tracts as target sites. As indicated, the purchase price is
$25,000.
(2) Fanno Creek Stream Corridor:
j As seen in the attached documents, the previous project list allocated $176,000 toward
the acquisition of land within the Fanno Creek greenway corridor. Staff recommends that
} this amount be increased to $316,500. These funds would be used to go after small
i properties along the creek. Metro, using regional funds, would continue to pursue the
large-acre properties. One such large-acre negotiation is in progress.
(3) Bull Mountain Area:
As noted, a Council-staff work group looking inside the city identified only three small
properties, covering three acres in all, as feasible acquisition opportunities. In contrast,
many acquisition opportunities exist in the city's urban services area. The rationale for
targeting this area is that it is designated for future annexation into the city and includes
large blocks of relatively pristine forest areas. The area as a whole also contains the
headwaters of waterways that feed Summer and Fanno Creeks and the Tualatin River.
i
As its third recommendation, staff recommends the allocation of $316,500 toward the
j acquisition of property in an area situated between the Bonneville Power lines and
Sunrise Lane. This 47-acre area includes extensive forest cover. A ravine with a year
round stream runs in a northerly direction through the middle of the area. The area was
identified by the county as a top candidate during its Greenspaces site selection process.
It is made up of multiple owners, most of whom expressed supported for the county's
potential intentions.
The county Greenspaces briefing paper described this site as of particular interest because
it has a pre-existing trail system that follows a small creek from the top of Bull Mountain
down to Menlor Road and, previous to recent developments, on to Scholls Ferry Road. In
the future, this trail may act as part of a trail network connecting to other surrounding
parks and neighborhoods. According to residents, people have been using this existing
trail for many years. This has aided in the acceptance by local residents of its
preservation as an official Greenspaces site.
The county identified a broad range of land values within the area, ranging from $15,000
i to $90,000 per acre. The specific area city staff recommends for purchase includes
property along the trailway and adjacent hillsides. This property has less development
i
I
L-
Page 5
1
potential, and accordingly, could be expected to cost less. Depending on land costs and
the success of landowner negotiations, the focus could be on acquiring the trail corridor
or on acquiring the two trailheads. Recent correspondence from a trailhead landowner is
attached.
As with the Fanno Creek target areas, staff recommends that a broad area, rather than
specific parcels, be identified. This will eliminate the need to come back and amend the
Greenspaces IGA whenever a specific transaction goes awry. This is an allowed strategy
under the terms of the agreement.
(4) Negotiation Services:
To keep things moving forward, staff recommends Council authorize staff to hire a
contract firm to assist in conducting negotiations with the owners of property within
approved target areas. This would allow the city to engage in a very focused acquisition
effort. Use of a portion of the Greenspace funds for this purpose is an allowed expense.
i
Assuming Council authorizes the use of a contract firm, preference in the hiring of a
consultant would be given to firms with experience in negotiating open space contracts.
Depending on cost, multi-discipline firms with in-house site assessment, appraisal, and
negotiation expertise could be given special consideration.
Alternative Protects
Other potential options Council may wish to consider include: `f
(1) Old Sites:
Reconsider the two sites previously abandoned as cost prohibitive. They include the `
forest parcel located above the Cook Park soccer fields and the Bond and 82nd Avenue
parcel. As indicated in the attached landowner correspondence, both continue to be
available. Many members of the South CIT are supportive of this approach.
(2) Tualatin Pedestrian Bridge:
In partnership with the City of Tualatin, consider allocating $50,000 or a different amount
toward moving the proposed Tualatin River pedestrian bridge project from the concept
plan to the design development phase. This work is a Greenspaces eligible activity. A
letter from the City of Tualatin is attached.
(3) Trail Construction:
Consider allocating funds for trail construction and/or other Greenspace-related capital
improvements. Although trail installation is an eligible activity, during the previous
Greenspace site selection process, the CITs and Planning Commission expressed strong
support for focusing on land acquisition. For this reason, staff recommends this as an
option of last resort.

j ^ Public Input
At Council's regular August 12th meeting, citizens will be given an opportunity to make
comments and to nominate new projects of interest to them. To facilitate this public
input, more than four hundred meeting notices (copy attached) were sent to citizens who
participated in the city's previous Greenspaces project selection process. In addition, all
CTTs are scheduled to discuss Greenspaces at their August meetings. These are scheduled
i to take place the week of August 3rd. These citizen and CTT comments, opinions, and
ideas should play a key role in Council's reconsideration of the city Greenspaces
program.

Planning Department - City of Tigard
We would like to express our interest in having the planning department of the city of Tigard
consider the acquisition of 5.57 acres located off of Old Scholls Perry on the north side of Bull
Mountain for green space or a park.
3
This parcel has long been recognized for its natural value as we have allowed the public to con-
tinues to use the established trail for walking, biking, and horse back riding. This rain forest like
wilderness trail extends close to a mile, beginning at the top of Bullmountain traversing a lush
ravine and then passing through our property beside the creek. It is a wonderful area full of
old growth cedars, broad leaf maples, large sword ferns, triliurns etc. Notably due to sur-
rounding development pressures our land seems to be becoming a local refuge for wildlife such
f as deer, pileated woodpeckers, owls, rabbits, chipmunks, gray squirrels, frogs, salamanders, f1
a variety of deep woods butterflies and so on.
4 -
A
Two developers recently made offers but both became undecided when larger parcels planned
for development remained unavailable or were purchased by another developer. If we can
obtain reasonable market value, our first choice is for maintaining the area's nanlral rain forest
beauty by converting it to green space or possibly a park setting.
a f_
We submit this letter as a request for your consideration of purchasing our land as green space.
Thank you.

Re: Proposed Sale of Gage Property,
Bounded by SW Bond Street on the South
;y l
Dear Mr. Hendryx,
On behalf of the Gage family, I am offering to sell the 3.9 acre parcel (above referenced property),`
for $300,000.00 to the City of Tigard under the guidelines of the Metro Greenspaces bond measure.
As you know, real estate values have gone through the roof, escalating as much as fourfold, and are
continuing to do so at the rate of ten percent annually.
Last September, 1996 the City of Tigard conducted an appraisal of this lovely forested acreage,
which has been in family ownership for the last forty years. The property was evaluated at
$490,000.00 in the September appraisal.
Our asking price of $300,000.00 is 39 % less than last year's appraised value of the land. Clearly,
an acquisition by Tigard of this acreage would be of significant benefit to the citizens of the City.
C-D The neighborhoods are staunchly in support of the preservation of this parcel. The South C.I.T.
will be revisiting support of this potential land acquisition at its August, 1997 meeting.
Please be advised that our goal is to preserve this parcel as a natural area. Many overtures have been
made to clearcut and construct on this parcel. With the Sattler "green space" now relegated for
development, it behooves the City ofTlgard to invest in and preserve open spaces to provide safe
havens for future generations as well as to retain areas where waters can be absorbed into such natural
wetlands as exist on our property.
Your consideration of this investment opportunity of the livability of Tigard is encouraged.
j This offer is valid until December 1, 1997, at which time the offer will be cancelled and withdrawn.

In response to Four phone call yesterda}' regarding nn' property adjacent to Cook Park. I will

i
For the acreage on the same side of 92nd as the Cook Park soccer field. I will consider an otter
of 5177.500 (15".. above last pear's price). The City of Tigard would have to bear all costs to
section oil' this piece from the rcmainine small piece I own across the street. which I would
retain. I would need to identity another piece of property to purchase so as to do a non-taxable _
like-land-exchange and would thus need some time to do this. Those details call be worked out
should the city decide to purchase the land.
Take care.

Subject: Pedestrian Bridge over the Tualatin River
Dear Jim: f -
Our communities have long planned for a pedestrian bridge over the Tualatin River that
would connect Tualatin Community Park with Durham City Park and Tigard's Cook Park,
enabling residents of all the communities to conveniently travel between the parks,
schools, and other areas on foot or bicycle.
The City of Tualatin feels that this is an opportune time to pursue funding and
construction of the pedestrian bridge over the Tualatin River, given the current focus of
the three cities on their major parks and trail systems. The City of Tualatin is currently
constructing trails in greenways at various locations throughout the city, the City of
{ Tigard is expanding Cook Park, and the City of Durham is constructing improvements to I
the trail system in Durham City Park.
j
' To spur interest and to begin the process of making the bridge a reality, the City of
Tualatin has budgeted 550,000 In the FY 1997-98 Annual Budget for design work on
3 the bridge. The City of Tualatin is using funds from a special six-year serial levy for park
and greenway development for this work.
i ~ -
1 From my recent conversation with Duane Roberts, I understand the City of Tigard is in
tt1 the process of reconsidering its Metro Greenspaces Local Share projects. The City of
t Tualatin would like the City of Tigard to consider allocating an amount similar to that
s budgeted by the City of Tualatin (or, given Tigard's proportionately larger population, a
i greater amountl) toward design costs on the bridge project. Indications are that Metro
would be supportive of using Greenspaces Local Share funds for this project.
! At this point, our best cost estimates for this work come from a preliminary cost estimate
based on a conceptual layout of the bridge that was done by Kampe Associates, Inc., In
September 1996. Any remaining funds after the design work is completed could be put
toward the cost of construction.
{
P03
l Mr. Jim Hendryx
City of Tigard
July 31, 1997

By allocating these funds, the cities are expressing an interest in jointly pursuing the
bridge project by identifying opportunities, construction alternatives, and costs, and
working through the many issues that will emerge.
We are currently briefly holding on the initiation of this project while it is determined if
the Burlington Northern Railroad Company will be abandoning its tracks over the ; -
Tualatin River. If this were to be the case, it may be possible to obtain the right-of-way
and retrofit the bridge rather than to construct a separate bridge, which would save
some costs. We expect to begin work on this project this fall or early winter.
~I
Jim, thank you for considering this request. Please call me at 692-2000, extension 931,
or email me at phparksateleport.com if you have any questions. I would be happy to
meet with you or others regarding this proposal.

MEETING NOTICE
Greenspaces Program Discussion j
Tigard City Council f
7:30 PM, August 12, 1997 `
This is to notify you that the Tigard City Council at its August 12th meeting will consider ; .
making changes to its list of local share Greenspaces projects. "Local Share" is the
portion of the regional Open Spaces, Parks and Streams Bond Measure bond to be passed
a through to local park providers for neighborhood and community scale greenspaces
3 projects. These funds may be spent only on greenspaces and trails related projects.
Funding for active recreational projects, such as sports fields, play structures, and
j community centers, are not eligible.
Last year, after extensive public participation, the city put together a list of potentially j
suitable projects for the expenditure of its greenspaces entitlement. The list included the
acquisition of four forest sites and creekside land within two greenway trail corridors. To
date, approximately 16 percent of Tigard's $758,000 in local share funds have been
7 spent. The city has been unable to complete three of the site acquisitions. Progress on
the acquisition of greenway corridor property has been delayed.
f
The local share agreements expire on September 1, 1998. Local park providers may
apply to Metro for a six month extension to March 1, 1999. To keep things moving
forward, Council is developing a work plan and budget of local share projects for the t
coming fiscal year.
At its regular August 12th meeting, Council will review the status of the City
Weenspaces program, consider nominations for new sites, and put together an action
plan. As someone who participated in last year's process of identifying appropriate sites
for Greenspaces acquisition, Council values your ideas and opinions and wishes to
notify you of the meeting.
This is your opportunity to receive an update on the city greenspaces program, to
contribute your ideas, and to nominate any new projects of interest to you. -
If you have any questions or need more information, please call Duane Roberts or Liz

RE: Greenspaces j
3 Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am not moved to writing letters to the editor of newspapers
or other print organizations. But when I read about the discussion
on greenspaces in Tigard, I had to express my concern and opinion
about our community. I believe it is extremely important and
urgent that we provide "livability" in the form of greenspaces in
Tigard. Any available suitable space should be snatched and
developed for the community.
i We have a wonderful, undeveloped site downtown from Main
1 Street behind A-Boy that follows a bike path through undeveloped
I acres and neighborhoods. It is a wonderful area that should be
i placed at a higher level of completion.
1
I live on the path that leads to Cooks Park. It is amazing
the number of people that use this path everyday. We need these
greenspaces.
I consider greenspaces a top priority for the community.

3 AGENDA ITEM #
FOR AGENDA OF 8-12-97
CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Update; Tree Planting Program
PREPARED BY: Ed Wegner DEPT HEAD OK CITY MGR OK _
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Discussion of initial plans for the Council goal to plant 2000 trees by the year 2000.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
After presentation, make comments or suggestions as to the direction of the program.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
I -
Staff proposes three phases:
1. parks, greenways and wetlands
2. work with schools and other public entities in tree plantings
3. develop a street tree maintenance program for right of way and private property.
Staff would like to start Phase I this fall. Staff will work with an arborist or landscape architect to determine the
needs for trees and other landscape plantings in parks, greenways and wetlands. It is anticipated that a planting
project will be held in October or November of this year. The initial cost would be approximately $60,000 (value
of trees/plantings or irrigation if needed).
November through April, staff proposes to work with schools and other public agencies to develop a tree planting
program with plantings to occur around Arbor Day in April.
f
For the third phase, the street tree program, staff will plan an effort among Public Works, Engineering and ` -
Community Development Departments to develop a comprehensive street-tree program. This effort will include
an ordinance to amend the Community Dvelopment Code (relating to tree maintenance and to develop standards
for plantings in various sizes of planter strips.) Also staff will create an informational packet which will be made
available to property owners to use when selecting trees. The packet will include instructions on proper planting
methods.
Staff also will develop a "visual effect" to track how many trees are planted and how close we are getting to

Should the Tigard City Council amend the Community Development Code to establish standards for wireless
communication facilities?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that Council approve the proposed amendments by adopting the attached ordinance.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
i
r oncem has been expressed by citizens and Council persons regarding the need to regulate the proliferation of I
wireless communication facilities since the passage of the Federal Telecommmiications Act of 1996. The purpose }

CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON
COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE: Vacation of approximately 4.172 square feet of public right-of-way abutting SW
j
Pacific Highway (99W) south of SW Park Street and adjacent to Tigard Marketplace I
PREPARED BY: William DA/4yr/~Qa DEPT HEAD OK / CITY ADMIN OK
i ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
F.
Should the Tigard City Council vacate approximately 4,172 square feet of public right-of-way abutting SW Pacific
Highway (99W), south of SW Park Street, and adjacent to Tigard Marketplace?
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Council approve the vacation as requested.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
ouncil initiated this vacation at a public hearing held on July 8, 1997 (see Exhibit D, Res. No. 97-28).
_l
4 Michael Magnus, the representative for Pacific Corp. is requesting that the Tigard City Council vacate
approximately 4,172 square feet of public right-of-way abutting SW Pacific Highway (99W), south of SW Park
Street, and adjacent to Tigard Marketplace. In 1986, Ordinance No. 86-19 vacated a portion of a frontage road
I along SW Pacific Highway y (99W) 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 vacated only a portion of the frontage
road right-of-way, a portion of that right-of-way still remains. Within that right-of-way is an approximately 8,617
square foot landscaped area that is adjacent to the access road leading into the Tigard Marketplace Center.
Approximately 4,172 square feet of the right-of-way is owned by the City of Tigard and approximately 4,445
square feet is owned by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). The landscaped area supplements the
landscaping of the center, and is also maintained by the center. The petitioner is requesting that the City of Tigard
vacate the 4,172 square foot portion of the remaining frontage road right-of-way containing the landscaped island.
At this point in time, it is unclear whether ODOT will work out a sale agreement with the applicant. The City's
decision of the vacation request does not require resolution of the ODOT property. ODOT has stated that it does i
not oppose the request to vacate the City's right-of-way, provided there is a condition that the applicant agree to
rededicate any land area needed for future widening of SW Pacific Highway.
In the future, there's the possibility that SW Pacific Highway (99W) will be widened to six (6) lanes. The full
right-of-way width for the possible widening project is not known at this time but could extend 56 feet from
- enterline. A small portion of the proposed right-of-way to be vacated is within the 56 feet from centerline right-of-
--Nay width. The applicant has agreed to re-dedicate to the public any land within the requested vacation area that

,Might be necessary in the future widening of SW Pacific Highway (99W). Such re-dedication will occur in the
lure at which time the right-of-way is deemed as necessary.
The City of Tigard Water Department, Northwest Natural Gas, and General Telephone Electric Company have had
the opportunity to review the proposal and have indicated that there are existing buried facilities within the right-
of-way to be vacated. A condition will be imposed that will require the provision of a utility easement over the
area to be vacated.

CITY OF TIGARD

TO: Mayor Nicoli and City Council
FROM: Jim Hendryx
DATE: August 5, 1997

I SUBJECT: Sanitary Sewer Requirements within the Tigard Triangle
I
The Tigard Triangle Design Standards were adopted by the City Council in March of 1997. The
design standards, among other requirements, state:
1 "Ali new developments, including remodeling and renovation projects resulting in non
F
9 single family residential uses, are expected to contribute to the character and quality of the
area. In addition to meeting the design standards described below and other development
standards required by the Development and Building Codes, developments will be required 4
j to dedicate and improve public streets, connect to public facilities such as sanitary sewer,
water and storm drainage, and participate in funding future transportation and public ;
improvement projects necessary within the Tigard Triangle.
f
The primary reasoning behind these standards was to ensure that development, especially the
conversion of single family dwellings to non residential uses (e.g., commercial, office, etc.)
contribute and be compatible to the area and not degrade surrounding properties. It was
recognized that the timing and availability of sanitary sewer facilities would further this purpose.
Several properties within the Triangle are not immediately served by sanitary sewer. Situations
exist where some residential properties are under review for conversion to non residential uses
which are located in excess of 1500 feet from sanitary sewer facilities. The requirement that
properties connect to public sewer facilities has resulted in frustration and confusion for property
owners facing this situation.
Tigard has a few programs for providing sewer facilities to unsewered areas within the City. The
Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program can be used in non commercial areas. Property owners
can also request formation of LIDs to provide financing and construction of sewer and other public
facilities. There is also a reimbursement program where the developing property owner pays the
entire cost up front and is reimbursed by other property owners as they connect.
I f
As the code is written, properties must connect to sanitary sewer and other public facilities with
conversion and/or development. Staff does not see any leeway to this requirement. The issue
before Council is whether they are satisfied with this interpretation or are there alternative methods
that property owners could propose to guarantee eventual connection to such facilities (e.g.,
bonding, cash assurance, LID waiver, etc.) The City could also change the Neighborhood Sewer
-Program to allow it in commercial areas.
Staff is looking for direction on the matter of connection to sanitary sewer facilities and whether
alternative methods are acceptable. Mr. Craig, who is interested in conversion, and other
interested persons, may be at the August 12th meeting.
