2. VISITOR'S AGENDA
> Jetf Pfaender spoke to the SW North Dakota traffic improvements. He explained that he had
not participated in the earlier discussions because his job took him out of state much of the time.
He said the City has spent too much money on SW North Dakota. He stated that the 3W North
Dakota extension to Scholls Ferry Road was intended to alleviate the traffic at the SW 12151 and
Scholls Ferry intersection. He commented that the North Dakota/Scholls Ferry intersection was
an efficient well-built intersection in contrast to the intersection at SW 12151 and Scholls Ferry.
Mr. Pfaender stated that SW North Dakota was a through street when people bought their homes
in this area. He suggested committee conflict of interest because, according to area realtors,
these improvements added an increase in home values between 5% to 8%.
Mr. Pfaender spoke against spending more money in this neighborhood and that other
neighborhoods wanted speed bumps to improve their neighborhoods also. He referred to iie
number of neighborhoods wanting speed bumps last year 44 streets applied for speed bumps,
and only 4% got them.
Mr. Pfaender said that the engineers told him that lowering the average speed from 35 mph to 29
mph wcu!d accomplish the neighborhood's goals. He mentioned a stop sign, at taxpayers'
expense, on a cul-de-sac that did not have sufficient warrants for installation. He referred to the
police patrols in this neighborhood and suggested the officers be reassigned to the Walnut
intersection where elementary school children cros :ed the street.
Mr. Pfaender suggested returning two-way traffic to North Dakota by removing the curb
it,
extension. He mentioned installing the speed bumps also but then emphasized that he did not
want more tax dollars spent in this neighborhood.
Mayor Nicoli explained that there was an automatic review period for this issue to return to
Council. Mr. Pfaender said that, as he understood it, the engineers indicated in their review of
the original plan (with the islands) that traffic was acceptable and questioned why the City spent
additional funds for improvements.
Mayor Nicoli said that the number one complaint from residential neighborhoods was speeding
cars and ;people not looking out for children. The City has several programs to address these
types of issues, including installation of speed humps.
Mr. Pfaender agreed that the speeding problem needed to he addressed but spoke for addressing
it throughout the city rather than spending more on a neighborhood that already had an
implemented plan acceptable to the engineers.
Mr. Pfaender commented that he thought that the neighborhood got what it wanted because a
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 27, 1998 - PAGE 2
Councilor was on the committee. Mayor Nicola said that he thought it was inappropriate to
bring accusations against Councilor Rohlf. He explained that Councilor Rohlf had informed the
Council that he did not agree with the Task Force's final recommendation but had promised to
support their recommendation to the Council. In response to Mr. Pfaender's additional
comment concerning a conflict of :nterest, the Mayor advised that a state agency was already
reviewing that matter and would not entertain further discussion at this time.
> Mark Irwin, 125th Place, SW North Dakota Task Force member, said that the Task Force
had two goals: to reduce traffic volume and to reduce speeds. He mentioned the hard work and
long hours of the Task Force in finding a solution that worked for everyone. He thanked the
Council for implementing their recommendation. He reported that while the neighbors agreed
that the traffic volumes were less, they also agreed that the traffic speeds have increased because
the traffic circles were removed, opening up the street. He said that staff told him that the speed
humps should relieve tiiat problem. He said that, overall, the neighborhood was satisfied with
the results of the work on SW North Dakota.
Mr. Irwin thanked the Council for helping them make their neighborhood more livable and safe.
He also thanked the Tigard police for their patrol work.
> Jason Broeckel introduced himself to the Council as the Republican candidate for State
Representative House District 9. He distributed a handout to the Council.
3. CONSENT AGENDA
Motion by Councilor Rohlf, seconded by Councilor Hunt, to approve the Consent Agenda.
Motion was approved by unanimous voice vote of Council present. (Mayor Nicoli, Councilors
Hunt, Moore, Rohlf and Scheckla voted "yes.")
3.1 Approve Council Minutes: December 24, 1997
3.2 Approve Reimbursement District Application Fee - Resolution No. 98-03
3.3 Approve Appointments of Craig Dirksen and Gene Farnstrom to the Budget
Committee and Nick Wilson and Jim Castile to the Planning Commission -
Resolution No. 98-04
4. VISIONING ANNUAL REPORT
Liz Newton, Assistant to the City Manager, reviewed the work done by the Visioning Task
Force and the Action Plan Committees in turning the results of the Fall 1996 community survey
into the Tigard: Beyond Tomorrow report. She presented the report to the Council.
Mark Mahon, Task Force member, mentioned two areas that he saw as critically important in
the report: cooperation within the City and with other agencies and organizations, and improved
citizen education on how the City works.
Bev Froude, Task :Force member, spoke to this vision being big enough that everyone in the
community could buy into it, and find a piece of it that they could work towards. She noted the
presence of both long and short term goals within a timeline that would make this an ongoing
process for many years. She urged citizens to participate in the vision to make Tigard a greater
community than it already was.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 27, 1998 - PAGE 3
Loreen Mills, Management Analyst/Risk Manager, mentioned the open house on Thursday,
January 29, for all citizens to get more information about the results of the visioning process.
She said that the report would come back to Council on March 10 for further discussion. She
explained that this report had the first three years of the 20 year vision, and provided
opportimities for the City, the School District, and the Chamber to work together. She said that
staff would report back to the service organizations and schools with whom they had originally
talked at the beginning of the process. They were also available to speak to any other interested
groups. She mentioned that the 10 goals recently adopted by the City Council were tied into the
Tigard vision.
5. PUBLIC HEARING (QUASI-JUDICIAL): VACATION PROCEEDINGS FOR
APPROXIMATELY 16,174 SQUARE FOOT PORTION OF SW FANNO CREEK
PLACE AND APPROXIMATELY 4,914 SQUARE FEET OF PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY
ADJACENT TO THE WESTERN LINE OF LOT 35 OF "FANNO CREEK ACRE
TRACTS"
a. Mayor Nicoli opened the public hearing.
b. Declarations or Challenges
Councilor Hunt declared that he has visited the site and spoken with one of the applicants,
Elmer Studds. He commented that he supported this request because of Mr. Studd's
generosity in supporting the Senior Center and the City. Although Tim Ramis, Legal
Counsel, said that Councilor Hunt's statement would not preclude h~m_ ;rom voting on this
issue. However, Councilor Hunt said that he would abstain from voting because he was
biased in favor of the request.
Councilor Scheckla said that he visited the site to see where it was located.
All Councilors indicated that they were familiar with the request. There were no challenges.
c. Staff Report: Community Development Department
Jim Hendryx, Community Development Director, explained that Northwest Landscape
Industries asked the City to initiate the vacation of two separate street rights-of-way: a 40
foot wide gravel road right-of-way, commonly known as Fanno Creek Place, and a 30 foot
section of road dedicated in 1911 for access to the property adjacent to the railroad tracks.
He indicated on the map the exact locations. He mentioned that PacTrust had leased the 30
foot section from the City as a means of meeting the landscaping requirements for their
development.
Mr. Hendryx noted the question of how the land would be split between the applicants. He
explained that vacated land typically returned to the original parties that dedicated the
property but in this situation it was unclear which was the parent property. He said that the
Council did have authority to decide how the land was divided.
Councilor Scheckla asked why it took so long for the parties to request this vacation, since
the City has had no use for this property since 1911. Mr. Hendryx said that he did not know
why the adjacent property owners had not made a vacation request before.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 27, 1998 - PAGE 4
Councilor Hunt asked if the Cour^il could honor an agreement between the two parties on
how to split the land. Mr. Ramis said yes.
Councilor Moore expressed concern that an easement for underground utilities be preserved.
Mr. Ramis said that it was within the Council's discretion to state how that was preserved.
He recommended that Council direct staff to develop broader language to address the issue.
d. Public Testimony
Mayor Nicoli reviewed the hearing procedures.
Rich Ackerman, Northwest Landscape Industries, explained that they had not requested
vacation of the land before because they had not known they could do so. When they
discovered it during a remodeling application, they met with Mr. Studds and decided to
make the request. He stated that, according to a survey done many years ago, two-thirds of
the vacated property went to Mr. Studds, and one-third to Northwest Landscape Industries.
In answer to Mayor Nicoli's question, both parties indicated that a one-third/two-thirds split
was acceptable.
e. Mayor Nicoli closed the public hearing.
g. Staff Recommendation
Mr. Hendryx recommended approval.
g. Council Deliberation: Ordinance No. 98-01
Motion by Councilor Scheckla, seconded by Councilor Rohn; to adopt Ordinance 98-
01.
The City Recorder read the number and title of the ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO. 98-01, AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING THE VACATION OF 1)
APPROXIMATELY 16,174 SQUARE FEET OF PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY,
COMMONLY KNOWN AS SW FANNO CREEK PLACE, AND 2) APPROXIMATELY
4,914 SQUARE FEET OF PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY ADJACENT TO THE WESTERLY
LINE OF LOT 36 OF FANNO CREEK ACRE TRACT.
Motion was approved by majority roll call vote of Council present. (Mayor Nicoli,
Councilors Moore, Rohlf and Scheckla voted "yes." Councilor Hunt abstained.)
> The Council considered Agenda Item No. 8 at this time.
6. DISCUSSION AND CONSIDERATION OF PARTICIPATION IN THE GROWTH
MANAGEMENT CAUCUS
Mr. Hendryx referenced a letter received in December from Judy Hammerstead, Clackamas
County Commissioner, requesting local governments W consider joining the Growth
Management Caucus. He explained that the Caucus was staffed by McKeever Morris and dealt
CIT yr COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 27, 1998 - PAGE 5
primarily with Metro 2040 issues, including the Functional Plan and the Framework Plan.
Participation involved at least one Councilor and a staff person, and a fee of $2,500. He said
that the purpose of the Caucus was to focus on hot issues or specific issues of concern to local
governments. He said that staff did not budget for this item.
Mr. Hendryx said that a benefit to participating was gaining a forum to discuss 2040 issues with
other elected officials in the region. He mentioned that Tigard staff already attended a majority
of growth management-related meetings, including the Metro Technical Advisory Committee
(MTAC), MPAC, and the Regional Transportation Planning Group. He said that he thought
Tigard did have adequate coverage on the Metro issues through its staff but that this Caucus
would give the Council a forum to discuss these issues.
Mr. Monahan commented that if the Council did choose to participate, they needed a Councilor
who would regularly attend meetings and work with the other officials in order to maximize the
benefit of this group for the City. Councilor Moore asked if this group had much leverage
power on Metro decisions. Mr. Hendryx said that was difficult to know because he has not dealt
with the Caucus as a recommending body.
Mr. Ramis commented that this was an opportunity for the City to come to the table and
possibly influence the opinion leaders. He mentioned the current court challenge to Metro, and
said that if the City was not at the table, then the legal advisers would be less effective in their
endeavors.
The Council discussed whether or not to pursue this opportunity. Staff said that the meetings
were quarterly and in the evening. Mayor Nicoli s,ipported a Councilor attending the Caucus as
an opportunity to listen to how other cities felt on various issues. Councilor Hunt pointed out
that without a change in the Council method of reporting back from these committees that
Councilors sat on, the Council as a whole was unlikely to get much out of the Caucus. Mayor
Nicoli agreed with Councilor Hunt but commented on the benefits, including the mutual
influence with other cities if they had a representative at the table.
Councilor Moore mentioned his interest in learning what other cities thought on various issues.
He volunteered to represent the City on this cornmittee. Councilor Scheckla said that he thought
that the $2,500 fee was appropriate, given the opportunity to work on inter-governmental
relationships and to have a voice on these issues. Mr. Monahan said that the $2,500 covered six
months. He pointed out that if more con-m-unities participated, the fee might be reduced in the
future.
Motion by Councilor Scheckla, seconded by Councilor Moore, to appropriate the funds to
continue with this endeavor.
Motion was approved by majority voice vote of Council present. (Mayor Nicoli, Councilors
Moore, Rohlf and Scheckla voted "yes." Councilor Hunt abstained.)
Mr. Monahan said that staff would return with a budget adjustment in February.
> Mayor Nicoli recessed the meeting for a break at 8:52 p.m.
> Mayor Nicoli reconvened the meeting.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 27, 1998 - PAGE 6
7. CONSIDER REQUEST: CITY MAINTENANCE OF PRIVATE STREET LIGHTS
Mayor Nicoli noted that the gentleman who raised this issue before the Council was not present
at this time. He suggested combining the private street lights discussion with the private streets
discussion on the February 24 agenda. Councilor Scheckla questioned discussing the issue at all
since they already had agreed that they would not deal with private streets.
Councilor Scheckla asked if the developer received concessions for narrower streets in return for
installing street lights. Mr. Hendryx said that, while he could not speak to this specific
development, street lights could be part of a whole package that allowed reduced standards for
private streets. Councilor Scheckla asked if there were other items of a similar nature and how
the city had addressed them.
Councilor Hunt spoke to acting on this item tonight. Councilor Scheckla concurred.
Mayor Nicoli said that he favored requiring a developer to put in street lights to city standards
on private streets, and the city taking those over as a condition of approval. Councilor Moore
said that he thought that the city was obligated to take over street lights they required be put in.
Mayor Nicoli pointed out the 2 to 2 vote on this issue, and recommended setting the item over to
February for the full Council to discuss.
Councilor Hunt requested a good history of the use of private street lights in Tigard for the
February discussion. Mr. Hendryx said that staff would provide a full report on private streets
and the related issues on February 24, including an inventory of private streets in the city.
> The Council considered Agenda Item No. 9 at this time.
8. CONSIDER ADOPTION OF QUASI-JUDICIAL COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
AMENDMENT REVIEW CRITERIA
Mr. Hendryx recommended approval of the final order and ordinance implementing the
approval criteria for quasi-judicial Comprehensive Plan amendments, as approved by Council
on December 9.
Councilor Rohlf reiterated his previously stated concern to find a way to word these changes in
s,ich a way that it gave the community in general better control over the quality of life in the
neighborhoods, and a legal leg to stand on when developers proposed changes that would affect
the; r ;uality of life. He said that in the discussion he had made it clear that this language did not
achieve that goal. The clarifying language made it easier for developers. He said that he was
not fundamentally opposed to the clarifications as given but he did not think that the language
went far enough to give citizens the ability to deal effectively with development.
Councilor Rohlf pointed out that the visioning work showed a concern about the quality of life
in Tigard. He held that a lot of the development proposals last year clearly showed that thz
Council did not have the legal provisions necessary to preserve the quality of life. If developers
met clearly defined criteria, then they could get almost anything they wanted. He contended that
these changes clarified former gray areas and made it easier for development to happen. He said
that he had hoped that they could find language to give both sides clarity and better tools with
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 27, 1998 - PAGE 7
which to work but these changes gave better tools to only one side.
Mayor Nicoli asked what specific examples Councilor Rohlf had in mind. Councilor Rohlf
mentioned the tree issue on Greenburg Road and the Haggen application on SW 135th and
Scholls Ferry. He said that these changes would give those wanting to develop within two
blocks of a residential neighborhood the clarity they needed to meet the criteria to allow the
development. However, there was no similar tool for the residents. He said that he had
expected staff to look at ways to help Tigard citizens preserve their quality of life. He stated
that while he recognized that the Plan and Codes have allowed Tigard to become the city that it
was, he heard from many folks that they did not want more density, population or speeding cars.
Councilor Scheckla pointed out that appealing the development applications was often too
expensive for the average resident. He stated that he had voted no also on December 9 and
would continue to do so.
Councilor Moore said that he had not understood at the December 9 meeting how strongly
Councilor Rohlf was against these changes. He said that he, too, was concerned about the
quality of life but pointed out that they could not stop development from happening. They
needed to make sure that development was done properly and for the betterment of the city.
Councilor Rohlf said that he had asked staff to come back with something more balanced.
However, staff's concluded that they could not develop terminology to address quality-of-life
issues. He agreed that quality of life was difficult to define in words. Councilor Moore
commented that it was important to avoid the "not in my backyard" syndrome also or there
would be no development anywhere. He said that he was willing to consider rephrasing the
language.
Mr. Monahan pointed out that these Plan change criteria dealt with where was the proper place
for the particular types of zoning in the community. He said that there were other tools to deal
with how development actually occurred. He commented that it was difficult for staff to put
everything together in one plan element. He suggested dealing with the issue both in the Plan
and in the Development Code rules and regulations.
Mayor Nicoli asked if there were options Council could discuss per Councilor Rohlfs concerns.
Mr. Hendryx said that there were options but he was not sure of the exact procedure to follow
since Council did take action on this item during the public hearing.
Mr. Monahan commented that these changes were significant in that they made it possible for
soine areas to be developed in a different way. He referred to other criteria dealing with the
specifics of how land can be developed.
Councilor Scheckla asked what the process was if they voted this down tonight. Mr. Ramis said
that procedurally the Council could d;rect staff to return with additional land wage addressing
these issues. If there was significant new language, they could renotice for p blic comment.
With regard to the substantive changes, he commented that, since the language retained the
phrase "consistent with applicable Plan policies," they could make sure that those Plan polices
emphasized sufficiently the areas of concern,. He said that another alternative was to find some
of those Plan policies and elevate their significance by incorporating them into this section..
Discussion followed on process. Mr. F!cndryx expressed concern at directing staff to make
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - j.,% UNARY 27, 1998 - PAGE 8
significant changes noting the previous public process including CIT review and a public
hearing.
Councilor Moore suggested approving the ordinance and directing staff to identify the
supporting language clarifying the Council's ideas for a livable city. Councilor Rohlf
commented that doing so would not be an easy process, citing the Tigard Triangle exp.;rience.
He spoke to deciding as a city what kind of quality of life they wanted and how to protect it.
Mr. Hendryx said that if Council adopted the changes tonight, then the criteria changed. If the
Council did not do so, then staff would continue to operate under the old standards. Councilor
Hunt asked which option would be easier for staff's work. Mr. Hendryx recommended, based
on the Council's concerns, that they either take no action tonight or deny the request, which
would leave the old standards in place. Councilor Moore expre--sed concern at overturning
something that went through the process and was approved by everyone.
Mr. Monahan suggested that Council decide to reconsider its vote, and send this item back to the
Planning Commission. They could renotice if the language changed significantly. Council
could give staff direction to look at the applicable plan policies and return with a complete
package including language to address the Council's concerns. He commented that if Council
approved these changes tonight, someone could apply before the work on the other policies was
completed, and Council might feel obligated to approve something it did not welt.
Motion by Councilor Rohlf, seconded b;- Councilor Scheckla, to send this back to the
Planning Commission for reconsideration..
Motion was approved by unanimous voice vote of Council present. (Mayor Nicoli, Councilors
Hunt, Moore, Rohlf and Scheckla voted "yes.")
Councilor Rohlf left the meeting at 8:40 p.m.
The Council considered Agenda Item No. 6 at this time.
9. CONSIDER BUDGET ADJUSTMENT: COMMUNITY VOLUNTEER ASSISTANT
Ms. Newton explained that staff created a classification called "Volunteer Coordinator" to
include this position and the Library Volunteer Coordinator. She referenced the Human
Resource Depariment memo recommending the Volunteer Coordinator position at Range 44, the
same as the Library position. She asked for adoption of the resolution authorizing the budget
adjustment to fund the Volunteer Coordinator position for the remainder of this fiscal year at
range 44 ($7,800).
Councilor Hunt asked if this was a full-time position. Mr. Monahan said yes, explaining that the
position would assist with CIT setup until the number of volunteers increased.
The Council discussed whether or not they had directed this to come back at budget time.
Councilor Moore noted that the meeting minutes did not indicate that direction.
Councilor Scheckla asked if staff could track this position to see how beneficial it was. Ms.
Newton said that they intended to set up an annual review to track whether or not the volunteer
program was saving enough money to justify assigning a full-time staff member to it.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 27, 1998 - PAGE 9
Councilor Scheckla asked what derartment this position would be under in the future. Ms.
Newton said that currently it was out of the City Manager's office. Mr. Monahan explained that
that could change depending on the needs of the volunteer program.
Motion by Councilor Hunt, seconded by Councilor Moore, to approve Resolution No. 98-
05.
The City Recorder read the number and title of the resolution.
RESOLUTION NO. 98-05, A RESOLUTION APPROVING BUDGET ADJUSTMENT NO.

Hunt, Moore, Rohlf and Scheckla voted "yes.")
10. CONSIDER ORDINANCE APPROVING AGREEMENT BETWEEN ATFALATI
RECREATION DISTRICT AND THE CITY OF TIGARD AND AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO SIGN SAID AGREEMENT
Mr. Monahan explained that the Atfalati Recreation District has approved signing the agreement
and returned it to Council for the City's signature. He said that there were no changes in the
language and recommended that the Council authorize him to sign the agreement so they could
begin working with the District representatives on the Cook Park expansion.
Motion by Councilor Moore, seconded by Councilor Hunt, to approve Jrdinance No. 98-
02.
The City Recorder read the number and title of the ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO. 98-02, AN ORDINANCE APPROVING THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE ATFALATI RECREATION DISTRICT, INC. AND THE CITY OF TIGARD AND
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO SIGN Tt?E AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF
THE CITY COUNCIL.
Mayor Nicoli mentioned that Atfalati was the name of a Tualatin Valley Indian tribe.
Motion was approved by unanimous roll call vote c~~'Council present. (Mayor Nicoli,
Councilors Hunt, Moore, Rohlf and Scheckla voted "yes.")
11. CONSIDER ATFALATI MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS
Mr. Monahan explained that the Atfalati agreement called for a committee made up of two city
officials and two District representatives to work together to plan for the development and
improvement of the Cook Park expansion. He said that the District would provide around
$15,000 a year in funding plus in kind services for development of the property. The two
District representatives were Dave Nicoli and Gary Stevens.
Mr. Monahan referenced the staff memo recommending Ed Wegner and Jeff Munro as the City
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 27, 1998 - PAGE 10
representatives. However the Council could appoint Councilors if they wished. Councilor Hunt
expressed his concern at overloading Mr. Wegner who was also working on water supply issues.
Mr. Monahan said that Mr. Wegner volunteered. Mayor Nicoli suggested appointing Councilor
Hunt as an alternate for Mr. Wegner to step in if Mr. Wegner got too busy.
The Council discussed who to appoint as an alternate. Councilor Hunt spoke for appointing
John Roy. Ed Wegner, Public Works Director, thanked the Council for their concern but
explained that he intended to serve only during the long range planning stage of design and
policy/program development. Once that was completed, Mr. Roy would be a more appropriate
representative. He commented that since he began his career in Parks and Recreation, he was
interested in being a part of this.
Motion by Councilor Hunt, seconded by Councilor Moore, to forward the approval of the
staff recommendations.
Motion was approved by unanimous voice vote of Council present. (Mayor Nicoli, Councilors
Hunt, Moore, Rohlf and Scheckla voted "yes.")
12. PRESENTATION: METRO STREAM AND FLOODPLAIN PROTECTION PLAN
Mr. Hendryx introduced Mark Turpel, Metro Interim Director for the Growth Management
Program. Mr. Turpel was here to discuss Title 3 and the model ordinance.
Mayor Nicoli asked if the model ordinance was the same as the process Tigard went through
during the past two years to develop a plan to protect its streams. Mr. Turpel said that it was
not.
Mr. Turpel reviewed the growth management work done by Metro since the 1995 adoption of
the 2040 growth concept for the region. He said that the model ordinance dealt with the water
quality and flood protection element of the Functional Plan or Title 3. He stated that Tigard's
Safe Harbor ordinance dealt with wildlife habitat in the watershed, and thus was different from
this ordinance. He conceded that they were related items.
Mr. Turpel said that the model ordinance was intended to give local jurisdictions a second way
to implement the Functional Plan standards for water quality and flood protection. Jurisdictions
could demonstrate that they met the basic performance standards or they could use the model
ordinance as a "cookbook version" modified to meet their individual situations. He reviewed
the membership of the Water Resources Policy Advisory Committee that developed this
ordinance. including representatives from local water, sewer, and storm water providers, state
and federal agencies, and environmental organizations.
Mr. Turpel stated that MPAC would receive the model ordinance tomorrow night and debate it
in February. He mentioned that he had Tigard's December 9 letter to Mayor Drake listing their
concerns. He noted the open houses held on this issue, with the next one scheduled for this
Saturday in Oregon City.
Councilor Hunt asked if the work the City did on the Safe Harbor ordinance was negated by
Metro's plan. Mr. Turpel said that, as he understood it, Metro's work was in addition to the
City's work on protecting wildlife habitats in stream corridors. He confirmed that Tigard had to
comply with both the Safe Harbor ordinance and the Metro Title 3 provisions.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 27, 1998 - PAGE 11
Mayor Nicoli mentioned that he has not read the proposed wording of the model ordinance. He
stated that as Tigard went through the Safe Harbor ordinance process, they realized that they had
so many pre-existing conditions that if they set the boundaries too high, they effectively
rendered many single family homes non-conforming, thus prohibiting remodeling or rebuilding
in the event of fire. He said that they found a positive way to deal with that issue yet protect
streams overall.
Mayor Nicoli stated that unless the ordinance included options to deal with the pre-existing
cases and the people damaged by the provisions, he doubted that Metro would receive the
support of the City, considering the testimony they received during their Safe Harbor process.
He explained that Tigard was a developed community along its streams, though the City was
trying to buy up as much stream front property as it could in order to preserve it. He reiterated
that they did not want to create non-conforming situations and extreme hardship for their
citizens, such as taking away people's right to live in their home and do what they wanted with
the property they bought 20 to 30 years ago.
Mayor Nicoli stated that the language in the ordinance might also affect their ability to develop
a city park. He explained the intent to connect Tigard's Cook Park, Tualatin's park, and
Durham's park by a bridge across the Tualatin River to form one of the biggest open areas in the
Portland metro area. However the parks were in the flood plain and this ordinance would
prohibit putting in the parking necessary to get people down tc the park to enjoy it. He said that
they needed a practical and flexible ordinance, since they were the agency that would be
implementing it.
Mayor Nicoli recommended that Metro look at Tigard's Safe Harbor ordinance as an example of
flexibility in dealing with these issues. He commented that there were hard feelings among
citizens about ordinances like this that took away people's property rights with no
compensation. He said that with their program of buying property along Fanno Creek (using
Metro Greenspace dollars) he did not think the ordinance had to be this restrictive. If Metro
thought that they really needed a 200 foot buffer, then perhaps Metro should consider giving
cities the money to buy up to 200 feet of land, instead of taking it from the people. He said
these were the concerns that they wanted taken back to the Metro Council.
Mr. Turpel said that he would convey the Mayor's comments to the Metre Council. He
explained that the model ordinance was intended to address only new development, not existing
development. He said that everyone could agree that existing development had a reasonable
expectation of continuing the use. He stated that they wanted to regulate new development that
could cause damage or further flooding if not built properly. He argued that causing flooding or
further problems was a taking of one property owner impinging on another.
With regard to the parking issue, Mr. Turpel said that Title 3 contained a provision that said that
if the approach in the model ordinance was not appropriate, jurisdictions could find other ways
to deal with the issues. He agreed that the cities had the difficult role of dealing directly with
the property owners but contended that Metro was trying to provide flexibility in the ordinance.
He commented that watershed crossed jurisdictional boundaries, and that there were ways to
arrange new development to minimize any damage. He reiterated that he would convey
Tigard's concerns to the Metro Council.
Mayor Nicoli commented that, as he understood it, Metro's role was to coordinate local
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 27, 1998 - PAGE 12
governments on regional issues. However, in his experience he has found that Metro catered to
special interests more than it did to local governments. He cited the case of Cook Park in which
the City had accommodated the environmental concerns for the property by dedicating over half
the land to wetlands. But a special interest group that wanted to shut down the whole park,
including the athletic fields, picnic tables, and other structures, in order to convert the entire
property to wetlands convinced the Metro staff that they had a valid issue. But the Metro staff
did not consider what the City had dope.
Mayor Nicoli expressed his concern that Metro catered to the special interest without talking to
the City and researching what the City had done. He said that an ordinance like this was
frightening because Metro would take it and cater to special interests, instead of looking at the
overall plan of the jurisdiction. He pointed out that Cook Park provided the only access Tigard
citizens had to the Tualatin River. If the City abandoned the park, they cut off all access to the
Tualatin River for their citizens.
Mayor Nicoli said that he grew nervous because he did not think that the Metro staff (and
sometimes the elected officials) really cared about their community. Metro cared more about
the special interests it catered to. He said that he thought that the conduct of Metro in this
instance had been horrible. He observed that ordinances like this put that much more authority
into what Metro wanted to do. When Metro misused that authority, it was not good for the
community. He stated that what Tigard has done in Cook Park was for the benefit of all cities in
the southern Portland Metro region.
Mayor Nicoli reiterated that he was very concerned about ordinances like this that gave Metro
additional authority because Metro has not yet demonstrated to him that they used authority
wisely. He asked that Mr. Turpel take that message back to the Metro Council.
Mr. Ramis clarified the testimony regarding the ordinance applying to new development. He
explained that it would also apply to redevelopment (defined as estimated value of
improvements at more than 50% of the current value). Upgrades to public or private property
could run into the ordinance.
Mayor Nicoli commented that that meant that if a property owner had more than 50% damage to
his home from fire, then under this ordinance he could not rebuild. He said that they did not
need the land that badly to make the ordinance work to do those kinds of things to people. If
they did, then the Metro area citizens should allocate money to buy the land, but they should not
take people's land. He stated that this was an inappropriate way to get the land to do what the
people as a whole wanted to do. Mayor Nicoli commented that he thought that what the
ordinance was trying to do was great but at who's expense.
Mr. Turpel said that he would not support anything like that either. He disagreed that the
Mayor's interpretation was what the ordinance did. He said that the ordinance addressed
redevelopment that would increase a structure's footprint substantially into the floodplain and
cause damage up or down stream. He said that he did not think Metro would penalize someone
rebuilding from fire damage.
Mayor Nicoli contended that a neighborhood began to stagnate when large additions to homes
were prohibited, and people stopped spending money on their homes. He said that in order to
have a healthy neighborhood, they had to leave the ability for people to add on to their homes.
He spoke against restricting what people could do on their own property, and spoke for no
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 27, 1998 - PAGE 13
controls at all on existing residential lots of a certain size.
Duane Roberts, Associate Planner, commented that under the Safe Harbor ordinance, the 50
foot buffer could be narrowed down to 25 feet for existing development. But the Metro
ordinance did not allow that narrowing down of the buffer and was less flexible.
Mr. Turpel disagreed, explaining how the ordinance allowed a wider buffer elsewhere cn the
stream to compensate for encroachments in the'.uffer in a particular place. He said that the
issue was water storage and preventing structural damage or life safety issues in the floodplain.
Mayor Nicoli asked if the Corps of Engineers standards did not already address this issue. Mr.
Roberts explained that the water quality setbacks did not address the floodplain.
Mayor Nicoli commented that at its open houses, Metro tended to sell a concept to the public on
making the livability of the region better without explaining how that concept would impact the
rights of individual property owners through the imposition of harsher regulations. He said that
he wanted Metro to show exactly how the imposition of 200-foot setbacks would impact
people's homes along streams, causing them to lose control over 200 feet of their property.
Mr. Turpel said that Metro was trying to make sure that there was sufficient capacity to
accommodate growth in the region, either inside the urban growth boundary or with an
expansion ofthe boundary. He explained that in a situation where the setbacks would
essentially take all the use of the land, there were special provisions to deal with that to give
flexibility to the property owner. He mentioned the use of density transfer on undeveloped land
in order to maintain their capacity calculations.
Mayor Nicoli contended that Metro was reaching less than I% of the population in the region,
and had no practical way of identifying the property owners along streams. He said if people
really understood how these regulations would affect their property, Metro would hear from a
lot more people. He stated that an ordinan^e generated from that experience would be more
flexible and show real concern for the people it affected. He commented that Metro has chosen
the town hall meetings to make a lot of their decisions by but he thought that they rarely touched
a lot of the people they really effected.
Mayor Nicoli commented that in taking 200 feet off the side of a stream, Metro was going after
property. Mr. Turpel pointed out that the buffer only applied to streams with a 25% slope or
greater. Mayor Nicoli reiterated that the people in those areas should be notified. Mr. Ramis
asked for information on the change in the method of calculation since the earlier drafts.
Councilor Scheckla commended the Mayor for his comments and approach.
Mr. Hendryx emphasized that the City of Tigard spent three to four years working on Goal 5,
using an elaborate and costly process. They struck an agreement with the state and developed
their Safe Harbor ordinance. He expressed their frustration that now Metro has come up with
Title 3 and they would have to take another two years to revise all their work. He mentioned the
effort it took to build consensus in the community on the Safe Harbor ordinance, and yet not
ev:.ryone was Kapp..
Mr. Hendryx said that staff did evaluate the model ordinance, and believed that they understood
where the deficiencies lay between the model ordinance and the Safe Harbor ordinance. He
asked for assurance on how their standards rated as an alternative to Metro's model ordinance.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - JANUARY 27, 1998 - PAGE 14
He commented that most jurisdictions would want to know how substantial their compliance
was.
Mr. Turpel suggested that he work with Mr. Hendryx to answer his question. He commented
that, in most cases, he thought that Washington County was already close to substantial
compliance because of the USA regulations. He acknowledged the time-consuming work done
by the City. He mentioned that Title 3 was spoken of a year before the City adopted its Safe
Harbor ordinance. Mr. Hendryx agreed that Title 3 was mentioned in conversations but pointed
out that there had been no finality in what Metro was doing.
Mr. Turpel handed out materials on Title 3 and the model ordinance.
13. NON AGENDA ITEMS
14. EXECUTIVE SESSION:
The Tigard City Council went into Executive Session at 10:15 p.m. under the provisions of
ORS 192.660 (1) (d), (3), & (h) to discuss labor relations, real property transactions, current

> STUDY SESSION
Staff explained a situation that has arisen regarding a carport built prior to the Code which
extended into the building setbacks. This has gone to court with one party asking for an
extension.
Mr. Monahan said that Mr. Hendryx would contact the judge to find out what kind of an
extension would be granted. He would also get information from other jurisdictions on how
they handled this issue and return to the Council in one month.

EXHIBIT A
TIGARD CITY ORDINANCE NO. 9$- 02-
AGREEMENT
The City of Tigard, an Oregon municipal corporation ("City"), has purchased real property
defined as the Gray/Lamb Cook Park Addition ("Property") as more particularly described in the
attached Exhibit "A", for the sum of $300,000 and the Atfalati Recreation District, Inc., an Oregon
non-profit corporation ("ARD"), will be contributing the sum of $150,000 towards the purchase of
the Property as hereinafter set forth. The purpose of this agreement is to set forth the obligations,
rights, and responsibilities of the parties concerning the purchase of the Property, development of
the Property, improvements to the Property, maintenance of the Property, and use of the developed
fields and the related facilities with this expansion of Cook Park in Tigard, Oregon.
The City and ARD (and its members Tigard Soccer Club [TSC] and Tigard Little League
[ML]) have an arrangement at present whereby TSC and TLL have priority during their seasons
for the use of the soccer fields and baseball/softball fields at the present park. The purpose of this
agreement is to acknowledge the equity position that ARD will have in the Property being
developed and that TSC and TLL will have a priority for the use of the developed Property during
their seasons and to acknowledge that TSC and TILL will continue to have priority on the existing
ball fields and soccer fields during the development of the Property. The purpose of this agreement
is not to reduce the present use that TSC and TLL have in the existing fields, nor is it to give
additional benefit as to use of the existing fields, but merely to acknowledge present use and
provide for future use of the developed Property.
Page 1 - AGREEMENT
The purpose of this agreement is to also allow for the consolidation and coordinated use of
the present baseball/softball facilities at Cook Park, the existing soccer facilities at Cook Park and
the facilities to be developed on the Property. The cooperative efforts between the City of Tigard,
ARD, and the various recreational organizations that use the present facilities and the facilities to be
developed is desirable to maximize the use for existing organizations and future organizations.
The parties agree as follows:
1. Purchase of Real Property. The present members of ARD, TSC and TLL agree to
pay the City a minimum of $15,000 per year for a period of ten (10) years toward the purchase
price of the Property for a total payment of $150,000. ARD shall have the right to prepay its
obligation at any time. The TSC and TLL are presently assessing their members a per-player fee to
fund this purchase. To the extent that there are assessed funds that have been collected by ARD for
this purchase in excess of $15,000 per year, ARD agrees to place these funds in a separate account
(the Fund), and said funds shall be used upon agreement between the City and ARD as to the use of
these funds for purchase, development, improvement and maintenance of the Property. The first
payment shall be due August 1, 1997, and each payment thereafter shall be due on May 1 of each
year until the entire $150,000 is paid.
The City- and ARD recognize that ARD is soliciting additional members to its organization.
It is agreed that should additional ARD members use the Property, they shall be assessed for the
use of the Property and funds assessed shall go into the Fund provided for herein. It is further
Page 2 - AGREEMENT
anticipated by the City and ARD that there will be other uses for the fields to be developed on the
Property and users fees charged and collected by the City and that the City will place these funds in
the development fund for the Property until the Management Committee ("Committee"), as
defined in Paragraph 2, has determined that the development called for in the 1997 Revised Cook
Park Master Plan ("Plan") has been substantially completed. At that time, the use of these user
fees shall be renegotiated between the City and ARD.
2. Management Committee ("Committee". The Committee shall consist of two (2)
City officials appointed by the City Council for the City, and two ARD representatives, one from
TSC and one from TLL, appointed by their respective boards. With input from City staff and the
boards, the development and improvement of the Property shall be the responsibility of the
Committee within the confines of the City budget and funds becoming available from various
sources. The Committee shall develop guie.& nes for use, scheduling, and maintenance of the
Property. Tigard's Department of Public Works shall be responsible for maintenance of the
facilities.
3. Mediation of Disagreements. The City and ARD agree that they will mediate any
disagreements (including those arising in the Committee) between them and will immediately
engage the services of a mediator to resolve their differences with reference to development,
improvement, maintenance and use of the Property. Both parties acknowledge that they may have
differences and agree in good faith to mediate and resolve all disputes having in mind the protection
of the fields and the use of the fields by the maximum number of participants in the City and the
Page 3 - AGREEMENT
surrounding area. The mediation shall be by agreement in a form per the attached agreement which
is attached hereto as Exhibit "B. "
4. Goals. The parties agree to the following goals:
a. To provide an area that can be used by a large number of people for other
City events such the July 4 celebration and Tigard Festival of Balloons.
b. To provide additional soccer and baseball/softball fields for TSC and TLL
and other Tigard based youth and adult soccer and baseball/softball leagues
as well as providinf; these fields to the public (which may be on a fee basis).
C. To maintain all fields at Cook Park at a high quality by limiting their use by
rotation, and provide increased maintenance.
d. To attract large tournaments and other recreational uses for the Tigard
community. A portion of the income from the proceeds would be used to
maintain the fields.
e. To have fields in the city available to the general public for general
recreation.
f. To accomplish the fast five goals with limited taxpayer money, but working
with the City to share parking, utilities, and combining the stt=gths of the
park and the fields.
5. Construction of Fields and Related Facilities. Subject to the availability of funds
ARD will construct appropriate fields on the Property. If the City builds additional facilities at
Cook Park, this Agreement may be modified to include the use and operation of those facilities.
Page 4 - ACPEEMEATT
The City and ARD agree that the improvements identified in the Plan for the development of the
Property benefit the TSC and TLL as well as the general public as a whole. Development and
improvement to the Property directly related to ARD and its membership leagues; i.e. playing
fields and parking (a percentage to be determined), and snack shacks (and the playground to service
the field) are the responsibility of ARD. The City shall be responsible for those improvements that
primarily serve the general public; i.e., playing fields and parking (a percentage to be determined),
restrooms and pathways. The above are examples and other development projects on the Property
will be shared on a negotiated percentage basis between the parties.
6. Provision of Services to Property. City will provide electrical service, garbage
collection (including refuse cans and dumpsters), water and sewer service to Cook Park as
developed and expanded. City will provide ARD with access to the electrical panel for the sports
fields during the recognized season in return for reimbursement, according to a schedule established
by the City.
7. Payment of Costs for Annual Maintenance of Sports Fields. The Department of
Public Works shall be responsible for a base level of maintenance for the sports fields such as
mowing, watering, and fertilizing, etc., as determined in its annual budget process. If ARD wishes
a higber level of maintenance on the sports fields and related facilities than the City is providing,
then ARD may either provide such maintenance (with approval of the City) and be responsible for
the cost, or it may negotiate these services and costs on an annual basis with the City.
8. Maintenance and Repair of Facilities. Daring the recognized TSC and TLL
seasons, ARD shall remove all litter and garbage to approved receptacles provided by the City and
Page 5 - AGREEMENT
keep the Property in a clean and safe condition. ARD shall be responsible for lining all spores
fields. Whether fields are suitable for play on a day-to-day basis shall be the sole decision of the
City's Public Works Director or designee. The City shall require any other user of the Property to
leave the Property in good condition and repair, including removal of litter and debris from the
Property when the use is completed. The City and ARD recognize a use of the fields is a resting
period for the fields, and that this resting and rejuvenation period for the fields is to be considered
as a use of the fields when determining other uses of the fields.
9. Improvements. ARD may make temporary or permanent improvements to the
Property only with permission of the City Public Works Director consistent with the Plan and City
financial processes. The City gives permission to ARD to provide a snack shack for ARD sales
operation during the TSC and TL.L recognized seasons. The City shall approve the type and
placement of any improvement, including a snack shack, and shall receive funds to :.aver the cost
of electricity to service the snack shack or actual cast as determined each year by the City's Public
Works Director. All improvements to the Property shall be constructed consistent with all local
and state legal requirements. Any improvement is the property of the City. Upon campletion of
the Plan, the City shall adopt a financial plan to fund its obligations under this Agreememt.
10. Priority in Use of Sports Fields. The City has the right to schedule community
events in Cook Park. The City and the Committee recognize that ARD has priority to use the
sports fields for conducting TSC and TLL activues during the appropriate recogni2nd TSC and
TLS, seasons. This priority of use allows ARD first option to use the sports fields and related
facilities during TSC and TLL recognized seasons. Other persons or entities deshirg to use the
Page 6 - AGREEMENT
Y~M~
Property for any purpose during the recognized seasons would have secondary priorities.
Community events may preclude use of sports fields and related facilities by ARD; prior to
scheduling these events the Committee shall be consulted.
11. Scheduling Other Uses of Property. ARD shall provide the Committee with a
schedule of days and times of use and suggestions for field rejuvenation prior to February 1 of each

or neglect connected with this Agreement.
13. Cooperation in Parks Planning City has and will continue to involve the
community in the planning for Cook Park, and design and construction of improvements to the
