City Council Packet - 03/10/1998 AGENDA ITEM FOR AGENDA OF: March 10. 1998 CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE: Fanno Creek Bike Path Alignment PREPARED BY: Gus D./Jim H. DEPT HEAD OK 12,CL CITY MGR OK ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL How should the City proceed with extending the Fanno Creek pathway to Main Street? STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that Council direct staff to proceed with extension of the existing Fanno Creek path on the south side of the creek behind the Main Street Apartments, crossing the creek with a pedestrian bridge, and connect to Main Street via the easement on the Dolan property. INFORMATION SUMMARY The Tigard Comprehensive Plan identifies a bike path paralleling Fanno Creek between Main Street and Hall Boulevard. Segments have been constructed between Hall Blvd. and Ash Street and behind the Main Street Apartments. However, the path does not connect to Main Street. Easements from Dolan and Lee (Stash Tea) and dedication of land from Familian Northwest for the construction of the path have occurred on the north side of the creek. Stevens Marine was conditioned to dedicate land for the path but has not followed through with the required dedication.. The issue before City Council is how and where to proceed with the path construction. One option is to proceed with the path on the north side of the creek behind Stash Tea, Familian Northwest and Stevens Marine, and connect through the Dolan easement. An easement or dedication will be necessary to cross the Stevens property to construct this alignment. Another option is to extend the existing path on the south side of the creek behind the Main Street Apartments, cross the creek with a pedestrian bridge, and connect to Main Street via the easement on the Dolan property. This will require purchasing land from up to three intervening properties. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Direct staff to evaluate alternative path alignments to connect the existing path behind the Main Street Apartments to Main Street. This could include acquiring an easement through the Main Street Apartments connecting to Main Street. VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY Tigard Beyond Tomorrow calls for improving connectivity in the CBD (Community Character and Quality of Life, goal 3, strategy 3). It also identifies improving pedestrian issues in the Town Center (Growth & Growth ManagPmenc, goal 1, strategy 2). FISCAL NOTES Construction costs, excluding land and/or easements, are approximately $75,000. Funding will come from Park SDC's.

AGENDA ITEM # FOR AGENDA OF March 10, 1998 CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Capital Improvement Program Status Update PREPARED BY: A.P. Duenas DEPT HEAD OK -CITY MGR OK 49 %V\, ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Briefing to City Council on the Capital Improvement Program accomplishments so far in FY 1997-98, and on the process for formulation of the FY 1998-99 program. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Informational briefing only. No action required. INFORMATION SUMMARY The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for Budget Year 1997-98 included projects for city street improvements, bridge replacements, storm drainage system upgrades, pedestrian trail improvements, and water infrastructure improvements. Many of these projects have been initiated and are either completed, or are well on the way to completion. The Capital Improvement Program is updated each year, and is reviewed and approved by City Council as part of the yearly budget process. While the program lists projects for subsequent fiscal years, the projects shown are tentative and are subject to change during the formulation process for each specific budget year. The CIP, through the adoption process, therefore establishes the budget for each fiscal year and serves as a planning document to guide the infrastructure improvements over the following 6 years. During each budget year's update, the revenue estimates are adjusted, the project cost estimates are reviewed, and the program and project priorities are re-evaluated based on changes in City plans, citizen input, and additional data which may become available. Citizens can provide input via the Citizen Involvement Team meetings, or in public hearings with the Planning Commission and City Council. This status update presents a summary of the Capital Improvement Program accomplishments so far this budget year, and describes the process for formulation of next year's program. Attached is a detailed Capital Improvement Program Status Report which presents the program highlights for FY 1997-98, sets program priorities for emphasis in the formulation of the FY 1998-99 program, and describes how citizens can become involved in the CIP process from initiation till final approval by City Council. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED None VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY The annual Capital Improvement Program supports the Vision Task Force Goals Improve Traffic Safety and Improve Traffic Flow, and all the strategies under these goals. The CIP supports these goals and strategies through implementation of a comprehensive program to upgrade the street network, promote smoother traffic flow, and enhance livability in the residential neighborhoods via traffic calming efforts.

This status update presents a summary of the CIP program accomplishments for this budget year and describes the process for formulation of next year's program. Program Highlights in ]FY 1997-98 The following are the highlights of the Capital Improvement Program Projects accomplished in FY 1997-98. Street Projects 1997 Pavement Major Maintenance Program (PMMP): The PMMP is an annual program of corrective and preventive maintenance on all paved streets in the City. There is currently a backlog of $1,500,000 in corrective overlay, repairs, and slurry seals. Approximately $400,000 was allocated this year for preventative and corrective maintenance work. The following streets were included in this year's program: • Pavement Overlay: Approximately 6,600 lineal feet (1.2 miles) of pavement overlay was placed on: 69th Avenue, 76th Avenue, 109th Avenue, 110th Avenue, Bonita Road, Pine Street and Tigard Street. Eagle- Elsner, Inc. began construction in September and completed work in November. o Slurry Seals: A slurry seal is a preventative treatment to rejuvenate streets with minor cracks that do not require removal and replacement of the existing asphaltic concrete pavement. The previous slurry seal applications were performed approximately 5 years ago. This program is a Capital Improvement Program Status Report Pagc I of 7 key component of the PMMP and was again incorporated in the 1997-98 PMMP projects. The following streets received this preventative treatment: Mominghill Drive, Katherine Street, Wills Place, 134`h Place, 133`d Place, 134`h Terrace, Laurmont Drive, Tamera Lane, Fairhaven Way, Fairhaven Street, 13151 Avenue, 127`h Avenue, Brittany Drive, 133`d Avenue, Sheffield Circle, Shore Drive, Laurmont Court, and 69`h Avenue. Approximately 13,000 lineal feet (2.5 miles) of slurry seal was applied on these streets. Blackline, Inc., the contractor for the project, began work in September and completed most of the work by mid-October. Street Striping: This is an annual program to restripe City streets that require re- delineation for safety and proper channelization of traffic. This year's street stripm program included the following streets: 68`h Avenue, 72nd Avenue, 97`h Avenue, 115` Avenue, 12151 Avenue, 135`h Avenue, Canterbury Lane, Dartmouth Street, Grant Avenue, Murdock Street, North Dakota Street, Tiedeman Avenue, Walnut Street, and Walnut Lane. This program restripes streets with temporary striping (paint) and is normally funded by the Public Works operating budget at the $7,000 dollar level. This year's program included some permanent striping (Durastripe), and was supplemented with approximately $6,000 from the PMMP budget. The low bidder on the project was Apply-A-Line, who performed the 1996 Street Striping Project for the City. The Contractor began the work in late August, and has most of the work done. The remaining work will be completed in early 1998 as soon as weather permits. The Speed Hump Program: This program installs speed humps in minor collector and residential streets to reduce traffic speeds. The projects for this calendar year were advertised for bids in March. The lone bid on the project was rejected because of the extremely high prices submitted. Public Works agreed to train its personnel in this work and install the speed humps with in-house street crews. There were a total of 12 speed humps that needed to be installed on 128th Avenue, Locust Street, and North Dakota Street. Installation of the speed humps began in September and will be completed in early 1998 as soon as weather permits. Only one speed hump on Locust Street remains. North Dakota Traffic Calming Revisions: SW North Dakota Street is a minor collector street that has been subject to high traffic volumes and high vehicular speed over the past decade. City Council formed a task force consisting of citizens of that area, together with City staff, to examine the problem and recommend traffic calming revisions for that street. The task force reported recommended street modifications to the City Council in October 1997. Council approved the proposed modifications. The contract was awarded to Berning Construction in November 1997. Berning Construction completed most of the work during the first two weeks in January 1998. The painting of the traffic islands and installation of reflective markers was completed during the third week in February 1998. The two speed humps on this street will be installed by Public Works as soon as the weather is favorable. The requirement for proper installation is at least two days of dry, sunny weather and temperatures in the 50's or higher. Capital Improveme.-. --gram Status Report Page 2 of 7 79th and Durham Road Signalization: A signal system was deemed necessary at the intersection of 79`h Avenue and Durham Road because of high pedestrian activity. DKS and Associates designed the new traffic signal and Linnco Electric was awarded the work. The project costs are shared by the City of Tigard and the Tigard-Tualatin School District with the School District contributing $50,000 towards the $100,000+ total project cost for the signal system. Project construction began in February, and the new traffic signal was activated on June 16, 1997. Grant Avenue Bridge Replacement: This project was federally funded through the Highway Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation Program (HBRR). OBEC Consulting Engineers was hired to design the bridge improvements and Mowat Construction was awarded the work. Construction began in March and the new bridge was opened on July 3, 1997. Tiedeman Avenue Bridge Replacement: This project was likewise federally funded through the HBRR program, and was designed and constructed together with the Grant Avenue Bridge. OBEC Consulting Engineers performed the bridge design and Mowat Construction was awarded the construction contract. Construction began in July, and the new bridge was opened on October 31, 1997. Only punch list items remain. Bonita Road Improvements: This project is split into three phases: a Phase I - Utilities relocation: Construction began on January 5, 1998, and completion is expected by mid-March 1998. Marshall Assoc. Contractors, Inc. has completed excavation and placement of necessary conduits and vaults for relocation of the overhead system underground. Boring of a steel casing was required in the area where conduits have to cross the railroad. a Phase II - Railroad Crossing and Flashing Light Signal Installations: Phase II is designed by Willamette & Pacific (W&P) Railroad, and will be constructed by the railroad using their qualified contractors. The City will reimburse the project costs. This phase replaces the rubberized railroad track crossing material with new concrete surfaces. In addition, a complete signal system will be installed, replacing the existing signals and other appurtenances at that location. ® Phase III - Street Widening: Phase III includes widening of the street to full width, and requires rights-of-way acquisition and temporary construction easements to accommodate that expansion. This is an in-house design project and is scheduled to advertise for bids in May 1998. We are in the procc ~ of acquiring the necessary rights-of-way, preparing design/construction agreements with the Railroad, obtaining Railroad permits, and finalizing the contract and bid documents. Phases II and III will be constructed simultaneously. Construction is anticipated to begin by mid-June 1998. Capital Improvement Program Status Report Page 3 of 7 WAM 91st Avenue Widening: The widening of 915` Avenue between Greenburg Road and Lincoln Street is a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project. The scope of work is widening of the existing street to local street standards. Curb, sidewalk, and storm drainage improvements will be included in the design. Preliminary horizontal and vertical alignments of the roadway have been determined. A 5-foot wide right-of-way strip on the east side of the street has also been identified for acquisition to accommodate the widened street. Construction is scheduled for summer of 1998. 79'h Avenue Improvements: This street is classified as minor collector road per the Comprehensive Transportation Plan Map. The project will improve the existing drainage system and widen 79u' Avenue from Durham Road to Bonita Road. The preliminary design has been completed, and the rights-of-way requirements for the widening of the street have been identified. This preliminary design was presented to the citizens of Tigard during the CIT meeting on February 5, 1998. The next step is to select an engineering consultant firm to complete the design of the project. High Tor Reservoir: A paved pathway needs to be installed for maintenance access and to direct storm water from the reservoir site to the street. We are in the process of finalizing the design. Construction will begin spring 1998. Greenburg Road/217 Overerossing Widening: This project is primarily funded via MSTIP 2 funds in the amount of $2 million, with an additional $400,000 in federal funding. The City's share of the federally funded portion is 10.275%. This project is a joint effort between Washington County and the City. ODOT designed the project and opened bids October 1997. All the bids submitted were well above the engineer's estimate for the project. The project design was revised slightly to eliminate some non-essential items, and was rebid in January 1998. The 2nd bid opening on January 22, 1998 resulted in extremely favorable bids. ODOT is now in the process of awarding the contract. Construction will begin shortly after bid award with completion projected for mid-November, 1998. Drainage Projects 110'h Avenue and Park Street Storm Drainage Project: This project was originally intended to be a street widening along Park street from Watkins to 110th Avenue. Citizens from CIT requested that the City direct the street funds to alleviate an existing drainage problem on Park Street. Most of the design work has been completed and we are in the process of obtaining a utility easement through private property for the pipe outfall. Construction is expected in mid-1998. Pinebrook Street and View Terrace Drainage Projects: These -_-wo relatively small projects are intended to upgrade the existing drainage systems and alleviate periodic flooding problems. These projects are being constructed utilizing the Drainage Major Maintenance funding provided through the 1997-98 Capital Improvement Program. The Pinebrook Street project was awarded to HPS Capital Improvement Program Status Report Page 4 of 7 11 1111111111111111=N111 111111111010111011111 Construction Inc., and the View Terrace project was awarded to Gelco Construction, both in late December. The View Terrace Project has been completed, and the Pinebrook Project is expected to be completed by the end of February 1998. Main Street Drainage Project: One of the catch basins in Main Street drains into an old, existing drainage pipe located on private property. This project disconnects the catch basin from the existing line and pipes the flow to a downstream catch basin in the street. Construction began December 16 and was completed in January 1998. Other Projects Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program: This program extends sanitary sewer service into residential neighborhoods. The City initiates and completes the sewer extensions, then recoups the total cost of design and construction via creation of a reimbursement district. As residents connect to the new sewer line, they have to pay their proportionate share of the cost of the line, plus the normal connection fee. In addition, each property owner would be responsible for redirecting the existing plumbing to the new line, and for properly closing the existing septic systems. At least 50% the property owners that can connect to the new line must approve the project for the existing sewer system to be extended into a neighborhood. The initial project under this program involved four homes on Tigard Street. The project initiated and completed in calendar year 1997 included 29 homes on Fairhaven Street and Fairhaven Way. The contractor, J.W. Underground, began in May and completed the work by July. Many of the residents have already connected to the new sewer system. Commercial Area Sewer Extension Program: City Council expressed the desire that the sewer extension program be expanded to included commercial areas. Council approved the creation of the Commercial Sewer Extension Program in November 1997. This program is similar to the Neighborhood Sewer Extension Pregram in that the City would install the new sewer extensions and laterals, but would recoup the costs through formation of a reimbursement district. No projects have been initiated under this program as of yet, but the program remains available as a future option for developers in commercial areas. Tigard Senior Center Exterior Improvements: This project was primarily funded through a Community Development Block Grant. The scope of work included paving of the rear gravel parking lot, and creation of a waist-high garden at the rear of the building. The actual work was divided into two phases. Phase I included the parking lot improvements. Eastside Paving performed the work in April. Phase II involved the landscaping improvements. S&L Landscaping completed their work in September. Because the funding through the Block Grant was insufficient to complete both projects, the 2nd phase was funded on a shared basis with the City providing 50% of the cost for those improvements. Survey projects: There were numerous survey projects completed through the calendar year. Some of the work included the following: Capital Improvement Program Status Report Page 5 of 7 • Park Expansion: Survey of property being obtained from Tualatin Country Club adjacent to and southeast of Cook Park. • Survey for future purchase of nroperty that is east of Cook Park and owned by United Sewerage Agency. • Preparation and review of legal descriptions for various properties to be purchased or given to the Parks department. • Tigard Vertical Net: Establishment of 6 additional Bench Marks with elevations and monumentation. Proposed Priority Areas For FY 1998-99 • The preventative and corrective actions necessary to preserve and extend the life of the various streets in Tigard will continue to be a high priority each fiscal year. • Street reconstruction will again be considered for those streets that are beyond normal maintenance. • The realignment and signalization of the Walnut Street/Tiedeman Avenue intersection will be a construction priority during FY 1998-99. In addition, design of key major collectors will be strongly considered for construction implementation during the next few years. • Traffic calming efforts will likewise be a continuing priority for the next fiscal year. • The City Council has indicated a strong interest in providing streetlighting in unlit areas of the City where streetlights are required to enhance pedestrian safety or to deter crime. The establishment of a program to provide such lighting will be a priority in the coming fiscal )car. • Minor repairs to the storm drainage and sanitary sewer systems will again be performed through the Storm Drainage Major Maintenance and Sanitary Sewer Repair Programs. • Bridge replacement funds will again be sought for one or more bridges in Tigard. Two bridges that are obvious candidates for replacement are Tigard Street Bridge and North Dakota Bridge near the Tiedeman Avenue intersection. • The Neighborhood Sewer Extension Program will be continued for those residents that indicate a strong interest in connecting to the City's sanitary sewer system. We have two small extensions that currently in the design process. • The Parks Program will continue with acquisition of properties for future park development. Capital Improvement Program Status Report Page 6 of 7 o Water projects for maintenance and expansion of the system will again be continued in the next fiscal year. What's Next? The formulation of the CIP projects for Budget Year 1998-99 is now in the initial stages. Citizens can provide input via the Citizen Involvement Team meetings, or in public hearings with the Planning Commission and City Council. A CIP overview will be presented at the March CIT meeting starting 7:00 p.m. on March 5, 1998 at the Tigard Senior Center. The opportunity for citizens to provide input will be at the April CIT meeting scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on April 2, 1998, again at the Tigard Senior Center. The CIP budget for FY 1998-99 is expected to go before the Planning Commission and City Council during the month of June 1998. Projects approved for next year will be funded and authorized for implementation effective July 1, 1998. As mentioned above, the opportunity for citizens of Tigard to nominate projects for consideration in the FY 1998-99 Capital Improvement Program will be provided in the April CIT meeting. For those that cannot attend the April meeting, the City will accept written comments or suggestions at any time in the process prior to approval by City Council. The final project listing will be a combination of City staff input and citizen recommendations. The proposed program will be presented to the Planning Commission in early June and to City Council during the June 23`d Business Meeting. The approved plan will be ready for implementation July 1, 1998.

SPOTLIGHT: The "Typical" Tigard Household and Resident • The 1990 US Census recorded 12,084 households in the City of Tigard. Of these, 67.8% were "family" households, where the members were related. The remaining 32.2% were "non-family" households • The average household size was about 2.4 persons. • Tigard's average household income was $35,554 in 1990, and the average per capita income was $20,160. The Community Survey reported a 1996 annual household income of $51,500. • In 1990, Tigard's population was 94.6% White, 2.6% Asian and Pacific Islander, 0.9% Black, 0.6% American Indian, and 1.2% other. Hispanics make up 2.4% of the population, regardless of race. • About 64% of Tigard residents are married, 20% are single, 9% separated/divorced, and 7% are widowed. Number of single parent families doubled between 1991 & 1993 and continues to grow. • The average Tigard resident was 33 years old in 1990. Respondents to the Community Survey, who were all adults, had an average age of 40 years. • 9% of Tigard's residents have a graduate or professional degree, 29% have a bachelor's or associate's degree, 27% have attended college without attaining a degree, 23% have a high school diploma, and 12% have no high school diploma.

Increased use of volunteerism, such as in the organization of an "adopt a street" or "adopt a greenway" program could be one solution. Issues • How important is community identity to Tigard citizens? Should there be a citizen-lead effort to define and promote an identity for the Tigard community? What role would the City play in this effort? • Tigard has always taken citizen involvement seriously. Is the current level of citizen involvement high enough? Are citizens truly having their voices heard? How do we ensure that 03 the recommendations of citizens are carried out? • How do we maximize the effectiveness of the volunteer spirit to accomplish the greatest good for our community? A-4 3.

Funding for these projects was assisted by $50,000 set aside for downtown by the City Council. Issues • Tigard's local economy as a whole is doing quite well while the downtown area is not keeping pace. Many residents might say Washington Square is the commercial center of Tigard. Two efforts at downtown revitalization failed at the ballot box in the 1980's. Is there a role for the City in determining what the citizens desire is for a central downtown area? • Several area cities have adopted design standards, such as planning for new development in their downtown areas. Would design standards help improve the attractiveness and urban character of Tigard's downtown area? A-6 4. Social Services and Community annually.

The growth and development in these areas have altered these views. K Issues • Through the last community survey, citizens of Tigard stated they were interested in promoting a community identity. How should development help reflect Tigard's identity? • Vacant land is becoming scarce, demand for open space is increasing, and resources are limited. What strategies should be developed to encourage citizens and the City to work in partnership with others in our community to address this need? c i i i i i A-10 ~I 1014 t* Introduction that the Tigard area will continue to grow in igazd is a rapidly growing community the foreseeable 71ture.

Since Washing- ton Square is envisioned as a major transportation, employment, and retail hub in the future, it is seen as an appro- priate area for increased densities by Metro. The hope is that people in this area will have easier access to transit, shopping, employment, and entertain- ment, with reduced dependence on the automobile. Metro, Tigard, and Beaver- ton will be developing a plan for the Washington Square area. • The City's development code, which regulates how development occurs within the City, is currently being rewrit- ten. This work is expected to be com- pleted in 1997. The changes will incor- porate Metro's functional plan require- ments for parking, minimum density, re- source protection, and transportation connectivity. • Annexation of land outside the City's limits is temporarily uncertain. The pas- sage of Ballot Measure 47 limits the tax rate for land to be annexed without a vote of those living within the area of annexation. The City does not want to annex land unless those in the area to be annexed pay for services at the same tax rate as citizens already in the City. The City will be spending a considerable amount of effort reviewing ways to en- sure the costs of annexation are spread equitably.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION 1. Maintain the current policy with the understanding that the City is not interested in taking over the responsibility for maintenance of these streets in the future. 2. Require the developer of all private streets to install street lights. 3. All maintenance issues and costs for the private street design (streets, storm, lights) will remain the responsibility of the developer or future homeowners association. INFORMATION SUMMARY In the past, the City Council has looked at the issue of private streets and issues related to maintenance of private streets. Recently, an issue of street lights on private streets was brought before the Council. This memo is designed to address the issues surrounding private streets in order to facilitate the Council coming to some resolution as to the City policy regarding private streets. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Take no action at this time. VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY Not applicable. FISCAL NOTES Not applicable. i Acurplan\wi I I\prstrme.sum CITY OF TIGARD Community Development Shaping A Better Community MEMORANDUM CITY OF TIGARD TO: Jim Hendryx FROM: Will D'Andrea DATE: February 12, 1998 SUBJECT: Private Streets CURRENT POLICY AND PURPOSE The City of Tigard Community Development Code (CDC) allows the creation of private streets. Private streets are allowed outright to serve up to six lots or are required to be approved through the Planned Development process to serve greater than six lots. The City allows private streets for a number of reasons including: • land division on small sites that create less than six lots where a 20-foot paved shared driveway is adequate to provide access; • to facilitate infill development; • to allow a diversity of housing type (townhouses); • where public streets are not needed or are precluded from future extension; • to allow certain housing types that may be better suited for private streets (townhouses); and • to help fill a market niche for different types of living arrangements. The private street design allows a proposed development to trade-off access width and other public standards in order to allow a greater number of lots than would otherwise be feasible given the improvements at public standards. The recorded plat will identify that the street is private and that maintenance is the responsibility of the homeowners. In most cases, the design of the private street and subdivision improvements are clearly different from public street and subdivision improvements. Page 1 of 5 CURRENT STANDARDS THE FOLLOWING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTIONS PERTAIN TO PRIVATE STREETS: Planned Development. Section 18.80.010.A. - Purpose. The purposes of the planned development overlay zone are to: • provide a means for creating planned environments through the application of flexible standards which allow for the application of new techniques and new technology in community development which will result in a superior living arrangement; • facilitate the efficient use of land; • promote an economic arrangement of land use, buildings, circulation systems, open space, and ululates; • preserve to the greatest extent possible the existing landscape features and amenities through the use of a planning procedure that can relate the type and design of a development to a particular site; and • encourage development that recognizes the relationship between buildings, their use, open space, and accessways and thereby maximizes the opportunities for innovative and diversified living environments. Street and Utility Improvement Standards. Section 18.164.030.5 - Private Streets. • Design standards for private streets shall be established by the City Engineer; and • The City shall require legal assurances for the continued maintenance or private streets such as a bonded maintenance agreement; and the creation of a homeowners association. • Private streets serving more than six dwelling units are permitted only within planned developments, mobile home parks, and multi-family residential developments. Planned Development. Section 18.80.080.A.4.c.(ii). A minimum front yard setback of 8 feet is required for arty garage opening for an attached single-family dwelling facing a private street as long as the required off-street parking spaces are provided. Access, Egress, & Circulation. Section 18.108.070.A - Minimum Requirements: Residential Use. Vehicular access and egress for single-family, duplex, or attached single-family dwelling units on individual lots, residential use, shall not be less than the following: 3-6 d.u./lots minimum access width 25' with minimum pavement width 20'. Land Division. Section 18.162.050.C. - Lot Frontage (Special provisions for lots created through partition process). Each lot created through the partition process shall front a public right-of-way by at least 15 feet or have a legally recorded minimum 15-foot-wide access easement. Street and Utility Improvement Standards. Section 18.164.030.X - Street Light Standards. Street lights shall be installed in accordance with regulations adopted by the City's direction. Page 2 of 5 UNWRITTEN POLICIES Street Lights. Prior to 1997, street lights were required on all private streets. Street lights were required to address the issue of public safety and lighting in residential areas. Beginning in 1997, the City recommends that lights be installed but the developer has a choice whether lights will be installed. Wiring, powering, and metering of private street lights shall be separate from the public system and shall be paid for by the developer or homeowners. The developer has the option of installing street lights but if street lights are installed they shall be metered seperately. Storm Drainage. Prior to 1997, the City would allow public storm drainage systems in private streets (public utility easement) built to public standards. Water quality and detention ponds within subdivisions would become public after the 3 year maintenance period and City acceptance of the pond. Beginning in 1997, any storm drainage system in private streets is a private system to be maintained by the property owners, including water quality and detention ponds. The private system does not have to be designed to public standards but must comply with the minimum requirements of the Uniform Plumbing Code (UPC). Since the system only serves runoff from private streets and is not designed to public standards, the City will not accept responsibility of the system in the future. Street Widths. The access section of the code allows up to 6 dwelling units/lots to be served by a minimum access width of 25 feet with a minimum pavement width of 20 feet. The Code is relatively silent on the minimum street standards for streets serving greater than 6 lots. The only other reference to private streets is code section 18.164.030.S (Private Streets) which states that design standards for private streets shall be established by the City Engineer. The City does not have a standard that determines when a 24 foot or 28 foot street is required, such as a certain number of lots in the subdivision. Currently, the developer chooses the width of the street based on the desire to provide on-street parking. A 24 foot width will not allow on-street parking while a 28 foot width will allow parking on one side. Addressing and Signing. We allow naming and signinr of all private streets. Private street signs are blue in color to distinguish them from public streets. The City makes and installs private street signs to ensure consistency in appearance and installation. Addresses are assigned from the private street by the City. Street Maintenance. There is a written policy. Private Streets are required to be owned and maintained by the developer or the future homeowners that abut the private street. The developer is required to provide maintenance assurance as mentioned previously (Community Development Code Section 18.164.030.S). ISSUES Street Lights. The Engineering Division has a policy that allows the developer to decide whether or not street lights will be provided. The Planning Division would recommend that street lighting be installed for public safety reasons. Not requiring the installation of street lights raises issues of public safety. Requiring installation raises Page 3 of 5 issues of the lighting bills not being paid. Homeowners may claim that they did not know they had to pay for the lights, nor is there a functioning homeowner's association to collect and distribute the funds, nor can the homeowners afford the payments. Storm Drainage. Issues with policy prior to 1997 include: The City did not maintain or sweep the private streets, so the City experienced higher costs associated with additional maintenance needed for catch basins and storm lines that would not likely have been needed if the streets were better maintained. Issues with the policy beginning in 1997 include: The City still has no assurance that homeowners will maintain the streets. The homeowners (not the City) will experience higher maintenance costs for cleaning catch basins and storm lines. The issues are the same, however, the full maintenance and associated costs are the sole responsibility of the homeowners, not the City. Street Widths. Since there are no standards for street widths, widths are determined on a site by site evaluation. There are no standards or guidelines to determine the number of lots, in excess of 6 lots, that can adequately be served by a 20-foot pavement section within a 25-foot access width. For example, can a seven or eight lot subdivision be served with a 20-foot pavement section or shall it be served with a 24-foot section with no parking allowed? Currently, the developer makes the decision as to the proposed width of the street, in part, based upon the desire to provide on-street parking. The City does receive complaints about parking in no parking areas, however, the City does not enforce :he no parking provision since it is a private street. The developer is typically making a trade-off by reducing the street width to accommodate more lots. Street Maintenance. Private property owners may claim that they were not aware that they were moving onto a private street, never mind the fact that they are responsible for maintaining them. There is no guarantee that a homeowner's association (if there was one even formed) will stay active to collect and distribute money for maintenance. Property owners may claim that they cannot afford to pay for maintenance. The City does not provide sanding service for private street. OPTIONS ® No longer allow private streets. Partitions and subdivisions creating less than 6 lots would be affected by this policy. Small parcels looking to create a subdivision may be impacted because the property may not have the area to accommodate a public street and still create the number of lots allowed by the underlying zone. Requiring public streets for all subdivisions would force property owners to cooperate with adjoining properties and will perhaps necessitate the assembling of several parcels in order to properly subdivide the land. A property owner may complain that the City is not allowing them to develop their land. However, the City would be merely limiting the extent of the development options and the property owner may not be able to develop their individual parcel to the maximum density allowed. Staff does not believe that this would not be considered a takings case, as the property owner would still have full use of their land in its present state. They would always have the other option of applying for a lesser development that would meet the City standards for streets or driveways. Page 4 of 5 • Selectively allow private streets. Currently, private streets are allowed outright to serve less than 6 lots or may be created for subdivisions serving greater than 6 lots if approved through the Planned Development process. Private streets are requested when the need for a public street and public street extensions are not needed or are precluded due to existing development patterns, to accommodate a level of density not otherwise achievable with public streets, or to develop a diversified living arrangement (townhouses). The challenge here is for Staff to know when to draw the line. Under what circumstances should a private street be allowed? Staff discussed this question and determined that it would truly have to be assessed on a site-by-site basis. For instance, if there is a situation where the topography of the land makes it impossible or impractical to meet public street design standards, and there is no identified need for a public street through the site (ie, to provide further access to an adjacent property or to complete a public street connection), then the City could potentially allow a private street. However, if the need for a public street is evident, the City would potentially need to allow a variance to the public street design standards. In other cases where the developer may lose lots in order to meet the public street standards, the City may decide to not allow the variance. We would have to balance that decision with Metro's requirement for 80 percent density in developments. The bottom line is that the City would need to be willing to tell a developer that the property can not be developed to the desired density. RECOMMENDATION • Maintain the current policy with the understanding that the developer is choosing private streets standards to avoid other public standards and that the City is, therefore, not interested in taking over the responsibility for maintenance of these streets in the future. When the decision is made to allow private street standards, the City is making the decision to allow private individuals to assume the responsibility for the private design. • Require the developer of all private streets to install street lights. If, at a future date, the homeowners make a decision that they no longer want street lights, the homeowners may make a decision to discontinue operation of those lights. • All maintenance issues and costs for the private street design (streets, storm, lights) will remain the responsibility of the developer or future homeowners association. The City will accept responsibility for maintenance of water, sanitary sewer lines, and the street name signs. I:\CURPLN\WILL\PRIVSTR.MEM Page 5 of 5 March 9, 1998 - 11:22 a.m. 0 L"~ b Mr. Monahan, my name is Jackie Lang and I live over near Tigard High School, and I've read the article in the paper this morning about the Waverly Estates issue with the private streets and the streetlights. Unfortunately I'm unable to attend the meeting Tuesday night of the City Council, but for it's worth, I wanted to just offer my citizen's opinion. I feel very strongly that it is that neighborhood's responsibility and that developer's responsibility to resolve this issue. The burden when buying a house is on the future homeowner to understand the terms of his contract and other conditions that are related to living in that area. It is not the taxpayer's problem, but those people didn't figure that out, and often those people are paying less for a home than you would pay on a public street. I think that a look at development of cost analysis or sales analysis in other developments would reflect that. Or maybe the developer made more money; I don't know, but I know that it often costs less to develop in those areas when the developer is not held to the standards involving public streets. The idea that this particular developer, Kenneth Waymire, feels he is indebted or he has been burdened because he didn't know who would pay the light bill is I find that ludicrous. The developers they are more burdened than anyone in those kinds of arrangements, and if he didn't apparently he assumed that the City would come in and take over those payments for those guys, and that's absurd, and it is his responsibility, his attorney's responsibility, to research every aspect of those kinds of issues and their long-term management. And he didn't do it; it's his problem; he should pay for it from here to eternity as far as I'm concerned. I will leave my number; I don't need a call back, but I will need my number it is 598-7956. Thank you for listening to me, and good luck with this issue. \jh 1: 1admVAA3109&14. doc 03;10/98 18:10 $503 526 2538 TV FIRE K4RSHAL 00011003 3l Id C?9 TUALATIN VALLEY FIRE & RESCUE FIRE PREVENTION 4755 S.W.

FAX 526-2538 March 10, 1998 Jim Hendryx Community Development Director City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd. Tigard, OR 97223 Dear Jim: The fire code places, at least in part, the responsibility for fire department access roadways with the fire marshal of a given fire service jurisdiction. The fire code "spells out" a number of required design specifications that must be met before a roadway can be approved as e. fire access roadway (see attached information). The fire code does not specify whether or not these fire access roadways have to be public or private roadways. The fire code does require that the fire access roadways be maintained to at least the standards set forth in the code. On occasion, these requirements have been troublesome to enforce. The best example that comes to mind is "No Parking" fire lane signs, or more to the point, the lack of these signs on a narrow, private fire access roadway. It has been very difficult for the fire district and other jurisdictions in the past to get these signs installed, especially after the subdivision has been completed. Without these signs a more "hazardous" condition must exist before cars that are blocking the required fire access roadway can be removed, therefore, routine maintenance of the 20 foot minimum access road width becomes difficult for the fire district. The sign example is just an illustration and should only be considered in the same context as the other design specifications in the code that must also be maintained- To my knowledge, private fire access roadways while occasionally difficult to maintain, have not, as yet, been a large problem for the fire district. If you have other questions or need additional information please contact me at 526- 2469. Sincerely, l ~ Jerry L.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt the attached Resolution and forward the request for annexation to the Boundary Commission and adopt the attached Ordinance to assign Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Designations to the subject properties in conformance with the City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan. INFORMATION SUMMARY The proposed annexation consists of territory comprised of six (6) tax lots totaling 6.14 acres which is contiguous to the City of Tigard. The property is currently developed with single-family residences on three (3) lots and there are three (3) vacant lots. Tax lots 00300 and 00400 on WCTM 2S 110BB and Tax Lot 02100 on WCTM 2S 110BA received approval for a 14 lot subdivision (SUB 97-0005) with the condition that the property be annexed into the City of Tigard. The owners of the additional properties in this proposal wish to join the annexation. Attached is a Resolution initiating annexation and an Ordinance to change the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Designation from Washington County R-5 to City of Tigard Low Density Residential, R-4.5. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 1. Deny the request, or 2. The City Council may chose to annex two (2) additional parcels, using the double majority process, in order to create a more uniform boundary. The two (2) parcels recommended for consideration are south of SW Gaarde Street, on either side of the site proposed for annexation (WCTM 2S110BB, tax lot 00200 and 2S 110BA, tax lot 02000.) If the Council decides to do this, staff recommends continuing the hearing until the next meeting so that appropriate notice may be given to the affected property owners. VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY This request is consistent with Growth & Management "Goal 2." FISCAL NOTES Since the subject territory is within the City of Tigard's Active Planning Area, the City is responsible for paying the Boundary Commission application fee of $895 by City Council Resolution.

APPLICATION SUMMARY CASE: FILE NAME: GAARDE STREET/OLSON HEIGHTS ANNEXATION Zone Change Annexation (ZCA) 98-0004 PROPOSAL: To annex six (6) tax lots consisting of 6.14 acres of un-incorporated Washington County land into the City of Tigard and to change the comprehensive plan and zoning designations from Washington County R-5 to City of Tigard Low Density Residential; R-4.5. APPLICANT: Dale DeHarpport OWNER: Robert and Kay Norin; Four D Construction Janice Justice; P.O. Box 1577 Ron and Wilma Lambert, and Beaverton, OR 97075 Four D Construction CURRENT ZONING DESIGNATION: Washington County R-5. RECOMMENDED ZONING DESIGNATION: It is recommended that the City of Tigard zoning designation of R-4.5 be designated upon annexation. The City's R-4.5 zone most closely conforms to the County Designation of R-5 while implementing the City's Comprehensive Plan Designation of Low Density Residential. LOCATION: 11900,11910 and 11920 SW Gaarde Street; WCTM 2S110BA, Tax Lots 02100, 02200 and 02300; and WCTM 2S110BB, Tax Lots 00100, 00300 and 00400. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policies 2.1.1, 10.1.1, 10.1.2 and 10.1.3; and Tigard Community Development Code Chapters 18.136 and 18.138. SECTION II. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Council find that the proposed annexation will not adversely affect the health, safety and welfare of the City. Therefore, staff recommends APPROVAL of the annexation by adoption of the attached Resolution and Ordinance. STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL PAGE 1 OF 4 ZCA 98-0004 - GAARDE STREET/OLSON HEIGHTS ANNEXATION 3/10/98 PUBLIC HEARING SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Site History: The property is currently developed with a combination of vacant properties and single- family residences. The property owner of tax lots 00300, 00400 and 02100 obtained Subdivision approval (SUB 97-0005) to create a 14 lot subdivision. The approval of the subdivision had several conditions, one (1) of which was to annex into the City of Tigard and hook-up to city sewer. The additional property owners included in the annexation request are surrounding property owners who desired to be included in the annexation proposal. As part of the subdivision proposal, additional applications were submitted including: Planned Development, Zone Change to Planned Development Overlay, Variance, Lot Line Adjustments and Sensitive Lands Review. No development cases prior to the subdivision application were found to have been filed with the City of Tigard. Vicinity Information: The area to be annexed is 6.14 acres on the south side of SW Gaarde Street. The existing city boundary runs along the southern, eastern and western boundary line of the site. The site and the property directly to the north are within Tigard's Urban Growth Boundary but outside of the Tigard city limits. Site Information and Proposal Description: The site is bordered to the south, east and west by property inside of the city limits. The property to the south is zoned R-2, the property to the west is zoned R-3.5, and the property to the east is zoned R-4.5. The property is bordered on the north by land that is outside of the Tigard city limits but inside Tigard's Urban Growth Boundary. The proposal is to annex into the City of Tigard in order to comply with conditions of approval required by SUB 97-0005 to obtain urban services for the lots annexing that were not part of the subdivision. The applicant has requested that the 6.14 acre site be annexed into the City of Tigard by means of the double-majority method. Representing the owners of more than half of the land (100%) and a majority of the registered electors (100%) of the area proposed to be annexed, the applicant has initiated this action through the written consent of the property owners. SECTION IV. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA AND FINDINGS The relevant criteria in this case are Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policies 2.1.1, 10.1.1, 10.1.2, and 10.1.3; and Tigard Community Development Code Chapters 18.136 and 18.138. Staff has determined that the proposal is consistent with the relevant portions of the Comprehensive Plan based on the following findings: Policy 2.1.1: This Policy requires an ongoing citizen involvement program and is satisfied because the Central CIT and surrounding property owners have been notified of the hearing and public notice of the hearing has been published in a newspaper of general circulation. STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL PAGE 2 OF 4 ZCA 98-0004 - GAARDE STREET/OLSON HEIGHTS ANNEXATION 3110/98 PUBLIC HEARING Policy 10.1.1: This Policy requires adequate service capacity delivery to annexed parcels and is satisfied because the City of Tigard Police, Engineering and Water Departments, USA and Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue (TVF&R), have all reviewed the annexation request and have offered no objections. The staff report and decision for SUB 97-0005 indicates that adequate services are available, or will be available upon satisfying conditions of subdivision approval, and may be extended to accommodate the affected property. Policy 10.1.2: This Policy pertains to boundary criteria for annexations and is satisfied. The property is surrounded on all sides excluding the north, by property that is inside the Tigard city limits. The annexation, therefore, will reduce an existing "island" of un-incorporated territory. The Police Department has been notified of this request and has no objections. The affected land is located within the City's Urban Planning Area and is contiguous to the city boundary. Adequate services are also available to accommodate the properties. Staff has determined that the proposal is consistent with the relevant portions of the Community Development Code based on the following findings: Section 18.136.030: This Section addresses approval standards for annexation proposals and is satisfied because: Adequate facilities and services are available, or will be available upon satisfying conditions of approval, and have sufficient capacity to serve the affected site as determined in the decision and staff report for SUB 97-0005. The applicable Comprehensive Plan Policies and Code provisions have been reviewed and satisfied as previously indicated in this report. The City of Tigard zoning designation of R-4.5 most closely conforms to the County designation of R-5 while implementing the City's Comprehensive Plan designation of Low Density Residential. This also satisfies Comprehensive Plan Policy 10.1.3. The determination that the affected property is an established area is based on the standards set forth in Chapter 18.138 of the Tigard Community Development Code and OAR 660-007-0005. Section 18.138: This Section provides standards for the classification of annexed land and is satisfied because the affected property meets the definition of an established area and shall be designated as such. STAFF REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL. PAGE 3 OF 4 ZCA 98-0004 - GAARDE STREET/OLSON HEIGHTS ANNEXATION 3110/98 PUBLIC HEARING SECTION V. OTHER STAFF COMMENTS The City of Tigard Engineering, Public Works, Police and Water Departments have all reviewed this proposal and have offered no comments or objections. The Tigard Police requested that Staff contact the property owners directly north of the site to ask if they wanted to join the annexation. Staff has contacted these property owners and has sent the necessary forms in the event they wish to modify the annexation. If they chose to annex and if Council supports their annexation requests, the Resolution and Ordinance may be amended to include these additional lots. SECTION VI, AGENCY COMMENTS The Metro Area Boundary Commission, Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue District, Tualatin Valley Water District, PGE, NW Natural Gas, US West Communications, GTE, and Washington County have had the opportunity to review the proposal and have offered no objections.

A representative from this organization will be at the March 10, 1998 Council meeting asking for support for their efforts to reduce sales of tobacco to minors. The program consists of rewarding clerks who refuse to sell tobacco to minors with gift certificates, thank you letters and positive public recognition. is\adm\cathy\council\tobcomem.doc rob berton construction IT 503-625-7109 17112/19/98 U 10:38 AM 62/3 we ioaacco tree c:oaiition of wasnington Vounzy wouia 11Ke your support for a project to help keep Washington County youth healthy. WHAT... The goal of the project is to reduce sales of tobacco to minors in Washington County. The campaign uses positive reinforcement to encourage clerks to ask voting people to show ID on tobacco purchases. The Coalition will recruit and train youth volunteers to visit stores and other tobacco outlets and attempt to buy tobacco products. Clerks whc refuse to sell tobacco to minors will be rewarded with gift certificates, thank you letters on behalf of the commu- nity, and positive public recognition. WHO... The Tobacco Free Coalition of Washington County WHY... The positive reinforcement model to reduce sales of tobacco to minors was proven to work in research conducted by Oregon Research Institute. As part of a study called Project SizTeen, ORI tested this model in eight small Oregon communities. The plan has four steps: 1) Mobilizing Community Support 2) Merchant Education 3) Reward and Reminder Visits to stores where clerks get rewards for refusing to sell tobacco to youth under 18 and reminders of the law when they were willing to sell, and 4) Nfedia Publicity. Across the eight communities, the proportion of stores willing to sell tobacco to minors dropped from about 579/c to about 22`f, as a result of this campaign. HOW CAN I HELP?... The Coalition would like your endorsement for the campaign. Community support is essential to the projects suc- cess. We are working now to gather signatures on a Proclamation, which will be used to publicize the campaign through various media. A draft of the proclamation is attached. If you and/or your organization are willing to lend your name(s) in supporl of the campaign, please sign below: You may fax back to me at 503-625-7109 or Call me at 625-1595.

BUSINESS MEETING • Call to Order - City Council & Local Contract Review Board Mayor Nicoli called the business meeting to order at 7:34 p.m. Two Boy Scouts led the Pledge of Allegiance. Mayor Nicoli thanked them and gave them each a lapel pin. • Council Communications/Liaison Reports Councilor Hunt reported that the excellent staff presentation at the Water Consortium meeting (by Kevin Hanway of Tualatin Water District) resulted in the Consortium confirming by motion that the investigation of the Willamette River was in compliance with the Water Consortium agreement. Councilor Rohlf asked if Portland was taking a strong stand against investigating the Willamette River. Councilor Hunt explained that Portland feared losing business if other communities found their own water supply. He pointed out that in the future, given Portland's growth rate, it would not necessarily be able to continue to supply communities like Tigard from its surplus water. He spoke to the importance of Tigard getting its own water supply to offset that probability. Ed Wegner, Public Works Director, concurred with Councilor Hunt's evaluation.

PROCLAMATIONS: 2.1 Proclaim March as School-to-Careers Month 2.2 Proclaim the Week of April 6-12 as National Community Development Week 2.3 Tobacco-Free Coalition of Washington County Mayor Nicoli read the proclamation titles. Rebecca Barton, Tobacco-Free Coalition of Washington County, reviewed the Reward and Reminder campaign that Pacific Research Institute was conducting for Washington County to reward store clerks who asked for identification from minors trying to buy cigarettes and to remind those who did not that they should ask for identification. She thanked the Council for the signatures they provided for the proclamation that would be presented as a reward (in addition to a gift certificate) to those clerks enforcing the law. Councilor Scheckla commented that simply giving the clerks who did not ask for identification a letter of reminder did not enforce the law. Ms. Barton concurred. She stated that the state would do a follow up campaign in the summer to cite clerks who did not ask for identification. Councilor Scheckla suggested including gas stations that sold cigarettes in a campaign to eliminate tobacco. 3. VISITOR'S AGENDA: None 4.

DISCUSSION ON POLICY ALLOWING PRIVATE STREETS AND RESPONSIBILITY FOR MAINTENANCE OF PRIVATE STREETS. (Continued from the 2-24-98 City Council Meeting) Staff Report Brian Rager, Engineering Department, reviewed the two positions taken by the Council at the last meeting: to continue to allow private streets in the current manner, or to eliminate private streets completely. Using a slide presentation, he presented the compromise positions developed by staff. Mr. Rager explained that the first option was to continue to allow private streets in single-family developments of six or less lots as an outright use, and to continue to allow them in planned developments for more than six lots. He pointed out the additional provision of new private street design standards to distinguish a private street visually from a public street. Mr. Rager said that staff would also work with the City Attorney's office to develop appropriate language in the Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions (CC&Rs) for subdivisions that would speak to the maintenance of private streets by the property owners. Staff would investigate a process to record a lien against private properties, should the owners not maintain the streets in a condition suitable for emergency vehicle use. The last two provisions were to establish a notice method to more clearly reflect private streets in title reports, and to change the street sign design to include "private street" in addition to the street name. Mr. Rager stated that the second option allowed private streets for single-family detached projects of six or less lots or for multi-family projects but not for subdivisions with six or more lots. This option also included new private street design standards, appropriate CC&R language, and a lien process. Mr. Rager said that Option 3 eliminated private streets altogether. He recommended Option 1. He presented a series of slides to illustrate private streets currently existing in Tigard. Councilor Moore spoke in support of Option 1 as addressing his concerns to continue to allow private streets but to distinguish them visually from public streets. Councilor Hunt stated that he did not support Option 1 because it allowed private streets in subdivisions with more than six lots. He said that he favored Option 3 at this time, commenting that he did not think that the whole city should suffer so that a developer would not lose a couple of lots. Councilor Moore said that he saw private streets as a "necessary evil" in order to allow development of odd shaped and sized properties. He cautioned against overreacting to the one request to take back a private street. He mentioned that attached multi-family housing needed private streets. Councilor Scheckla stated that he did not think that private streets were safe in emergency situations. He cited the information they heard at the meeting with the Fire District last week regarding the impossibility of an emergency vehicle getting through on a private street with cars parked on both sides of the road. He supported eliminating private streets entirely. Counciior Moore expressed concern that the City not insert itself when citizens should be responsible for maintaining the clearances and no parking zones. Councilor Scheckla reiterated his opposition based on safety concerns. He pointed out that the developers knew when they signed off on the conditions imposed on their development what was expected, and they negotiated for narrower streets in order to get more units on the property. He held that if the City eliminated private streets, the developers would find some way to get around the restriction and still get their money back. Councilor Moore suggested asking the Fire District how often they have had problems with private streets in accessing a home. He said that he has never heard of a problem. Councilor Rohlf expressed his appreciation for the staff work in providing options for the Council. He commented that eliminating private streets might resolve some of the crowding and density issues he heard about from citizens through the visioning process. He said that his major concern with private streets was the lack of notice to property owners purchasing the homes, and their surprise to learn that they were on a private street. He pointed out that the private streets in Tigard were relatively new. He was concerned that 30 to 40 years in the future, they would run into problems with them. Councilor Rohlf said that he could understand allowing private streets on smaller acreage to get the density or the lands might not develop at all. He stated that he had less of a problem with private streets on multi-family properties because it was obviously private property. He said that the alternatives for giving notice and mandating future maintenance answered some of his concerns. Councilor Rohlf said that he had a problem with private streets in large planned developments. He stated that he would not support substandard private streets because cars parked on narrow streets blocked access. He pointed out that without sidewalks, pedestrians walked those streets in peril. He said private streets should not look like public streets. Mayor Nicoli supported Option 1 as best addressing his concerns regarding notification and other issues. He said that he could support Option 2 with some modifications. Councilor Moore mentioned developing a "skinny street" ordinance to allow streets with a sidewalk on only one side. Councilor Hunt said that he could support private streets for multi-family projects but reiterated his opposition to private streets for single-family detached homes. Councilor Scheckla noted the staff report comment that the City did not enforce the no parking signs on private streets. Councilor Rohlf argued that private streets simply made it more convenient for developers to develop at the expense of the future taxpayer. He held that the homes were not cheaper because a developer did not have to pay for a standard street. Councilor Hunt concurred. Mr. Hendryx reported that he spoke with the Fire District regarding Councilor Scheckla's issue. Mayor Nicoli commented that the Fire District told the Council that they have already started purchasing new engines with tighter turning radiuses so they could work the smaller and narrower streets. Mr. Hendryx read the letter he received from the Fire Marshall's office, in which the difficulties that the Fire District had with narrow streets as fire access roadways were reviewed. However these difficulties have not yet been a large problem for the district. The Council discussed modifications of Option 1 that might lead to consensus. Councilor Rohlf concurred with taking out private streets for six or more detached homes. Councilor Hunt said that he would not support Bullet #2 of Option 1. He suggested giving a private street a different name to further distinguish it from the public street. Councilor Moore suggested modifying Bullet #2 to require that planned developments go through the variance process to get a private street for six or more lots. Neittier Councilor Hunt nor Scheckla supported that suggestion. Mr. Hendryx advised the Council that staff did not "notice" this meeting because the issue started in a work session. However if the Council directed changes to current policy, then the matter must go through the public hearing process. David DeHarport, 14985 SW Ruby Street, Beaverton, commented that Mr. Hendryx's information regarding the public hearing process answered his concern that the development community be allowed input into this process. He asked if the City was signatory to an agreement to follow the Washington County private street standards. Staff indicated no. Mr. DeHarport suggested developing consistent standards throughout the region. He asked the Council to look at the County private street standards as they might apply to Tigard. Pat Phillips, Fanno Creek Court, reported that the homeowners in the Colony Creek Estates had been surprised four years ago to discover that they had a private street and more recently that they had a private sewer line. She said that they had a strong homeowners association that collected dues to pay for the street maintenance. She spoke to developers making it clear to the purchasers that they were on a private street and what that meant. She commented that they had to make special arrangements with Pride Disposal to get their garbage picked up because Pride did not go down private streets. Motion by Councilor Hunt, to adopt Option #1 with the change that private streets would not be allowed for single unattached homes, and that the same general name would not be allowed for the private street. Mr. Rager commented that the emergency and postal services preferred that the north-south streets remain as numbered streets. The Council discussed the differences between Options 1 and 2. Mr. Hendryx mentioned that Options 1 and 2 were basically the same, with Option 2 prohibiting private streets for single family detached homes of six or more lots. Tim Ramis, City Attorney, pointed out that the Council motion should be for the preparation of an ordinance that would then go through the usual process. The Council agreed by consensus to direct staff to bring back an option reflecting the Council discussion along with an ordinance. Mr. Rager mentioned the staff recommendation to require developers to install street lights on private streets with the maintenance and energy costs borne by the developer or the homeowners. He pointed out that the homeowners could ask PGE to turn off the lights if they did not want to pay for them. He mentioned private storm drainage also. Councilor Moore spoke to strongly suggesting the installation of street lights on private streets but not requiring them. Councilor Hunt pointed out that the City was undertaking a program to install street lights in unlit areas, and spoke to requiring street lights on private streets for safety reasons. Councilor Moore expressed concern at the city maintaining street lights on private streets. Mr. Rager clarified that the homeowners association would be responsible for maintaining the lights, not the City. Mayor Nicoli suggested putting this policy in resolution form to back up staffs interpretation. Councilor Scheckla asked for clarification on the holding pond issue. Mr. Rager reviewed the current policy in which the City approved the design and construction of public water quality and detention facilities, and then took over their maintenance after three years. He noted the staff proposal that private streets with detention ponds be maintained by the developer and the homeowners similarly to the maintenance of private streets. Staff would require a maintenance plan in advance and language in the CC&Rs to notify private property owners of their obligation to maintain the pond. Councilor Scheckla asked how the City could enforce maintenance of ponds on private streets. Mr. Rager noted the recent situation in Shadow Hills where the homeowners have asked the City to consider taking over the maintenance of this 20 year old private detention pond. He said that while staff has not yet made a recommendation, they have advised the homeowners how to bring the pond back up to standard. Mayor Nicoli suggested discussing the private detention pond issue separately from the private streets issue, since water quality facilities involved USA. Mr. Monahan explained that he and Mr. Wegner have been talking to USA about creating a county-wide district responsible for maintaining these ponds. Mr. Wegner commented that there were over 20 private detention ponds in the area for which the City did not have responsibility. He said that staff has only advised homeowners associations on how to maintain ponds, though they have promised three associations that they would devise a policy and procedures on upgrading privately owned ponds. Councilor Hunt withdrew his motion. Mayor Nicoli noted that staff would take direction to proceed to the Planning Commission with an ordinance and options. 6. PUBLIC HEARING (QUASI-JUDICIAL): OLSEN HEIGHTS/GAARDE STREET ANNEXATION - ZCA 97-0004 A request to annex 6.14 acres into the City of Tigard and change the zoning from County R-5 to City of Tigard R-4.5. Location: 11900, 11910, and 11920 SW Gaarde Street; WCTM 251106A, Tax Lots 02100, 02200, and 02300; and WCTM 2S110BB, Tax Lots 00100, 00300, and 00400. Applicable Review Criteria: Tigard Comprehensive Plan Policies 2.1.1, 10.1.1, 10.1.2 and 10.1.3; and Community Development Code Chapter 18.136 and 18.138. a. Mayor Nicoll opened the public hearing. b. Declarations or Challenges: None c. Staff Report Mr. Hendryx reviewed the specifics of this annexation of 6.14 acres off Gaarde Road involving six separate pieces of property whose owners have applied for a 14 lot subdivision. He mentioned that additional owners in the area wished to join the annexation but have not yet submitted a development proposal. He noted the zone designation change from County R-5 to City R-4.5. He stated that they received no negative comments from agency reviews and that suitable public facilities would be available to serve the subdivision. Mr. Hendryx explained that they could not use the double majority method of annexation in this instance because of the number of voters residing on the property. He said that staff could contact the residents who did not participate if the Council so desired. He mentioned a letter received from Paul Dean raising drainage issues along a property line. Those issues were not pertinent to the annexation request and would be addressed during subdivision review. d. Public Testimony: None e. Council Questions: None f. Mayor Nicoli closed public hearing. g. Staff Recommendation Mr. Hendryx recommended approval with the subsequent rezoning and land use designations. g.

Motion was approved by unanimous voice vote of Council present. (Mayor Nicoli, Councilors Hunt, Moore, Rohif and Scheckla voted "yes.") 7. CONFIRM AND RECOGNIZE TIGARD BEYOND TOMORROW AS A PROCESS TO BE USED TO ACHIEVE THE COMMUNITY'S VISION FOR 2017 Liz Newton, Assistant to the City Manager, noted the two documents given to Council, the summary sent to citizens, and the more detailed report used by staff at the City, the School District, and the Fire District to implement the vision. She reviewed how citizens could use the summary document to check the City's progress in implementing the vision. Ms. Newton noted four activities currently underway that were suggested by the visioning document. These included hiring a Volunteer Coordinator, working with the City Library Director and the School District to coordinate library activities, working with the Chamber Business Advocacy Committee to involve downtown businesses and property owners in a review of the downtown area, and offering a pilot recreation program at Fowler Junior High during spring break. Loreen Mills, Administrative Analyst/Risk Manager, presented the resolution in which the Council confirmed their recognition of the Tigard Beyond Tomorrow process as the process to be used to achieve the community's vision for 2017. She mentioned the partnerships with the school and fire districts in carrying out the strategies and goals as outlined through the process. She noted the Council's commitment to provide leadership and maintain these partnerships to make the community what they wanted it to be in the future. b. Council Consideration: Resolution No. 98-20 Councilor Rohif commented that he was very proud of the work that the staff and community did on the visioning process. Motion by Councilor Rohlf, seconded by Councilor Hunt, to adopt Resolution No. 98-20. The City Recorder read the number and title of the resolution. RESOLUTION NO. 98-20, A RESOLUTION OF THE TIGARD CITY COUNCIL RECOGNIZING TIGARD BEYOND TOMORROW AS THE COMMUNITY'S VISION FOR THE YEAR 2017, AND COMMITTING TO ADDRESS VISION ELEMENTS IN COUNCIL'S GOAL SETTING PROCESS AND PROVIDE LEADERSHIP TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN PARTNERSHIPS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY TO ACCOMPLISH OUR ENVISIONED FUTURE. Motion was approved by unanimous voice vote of Council present. (Mayor Nicoll, Councilors Hunt, Moore, Rohlf and Scheckla voted "yes.") 8. DISCUSSION FANNO CREEK BIKEPATH Mr. Hendryx indicated on a map the existing route of the northern section of the Fanno Creek bikepath on the south side of the creek from Hall to Ash Street. He asked for direction on whether staff should build the segment on the north side of the creek behind the operations center up to Main Street (Option 1) or build an extension along the south side (Option 2). He mentioned the rights-of-way and easements already acquired and the sections yet to be acquired. He recommended Option 2, observing that the state and federal agencies preferred building on the south side because of the impacts to wetlands by a path on the north side. Mr. Hendryx reported the cost estimate for Option 1 as $347,000 and for Option 2 as $257,000. He confirmed to Councilor Hunt that Option 2 did require a pedestrian bridge (for which there was funding in the CIP). He said that the Ash Creek path would be constructed at the same time, whichever option Council chose (estimated cost $28,000). He confirmed to Councilor Moore that the cost estimate for Option 2 did not include the cost of acquiring additional rights-of-way. Councilor Moore supported Option 2. Councilor Rohlf suggested that staff return to Council if the land costs involved in Option 2 were significant. The Council agreed by consensus to direct staff to proceed with Option 2. 9. UPDATE ON CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM STATUS Gus Duenas, City Engineer, mentioned the capital improvement program procedures and program areas. Using a series of slides, he reviewed the specific projects completed so far this year. Tigard Street and SW 110th Avenue were among the 1.2 miles of pavement overlays done and the Morning Hill area was among the 2.5 miles of slurry seal completed. He mentioned the Tiedeman and Grant Avenue bridges completed through the highway bridge rehabilitation and replacement program, and the Winterlake bridge funded through TIF funds. Mr. Duenas reviewed the speed humps installed on SW 128th Avenue from Walnut to Winterlake Drive and on S%lJ North Dakota. He noted the four way stop at Burnham and Main, the SW 130th Avenue improvements at Hawkesbeard to Scholls Ferry (TIF funding), and the signalization of the SW 79th and Durham intersection for pedestrian safety. He explained the three phases of the Bonita Road project. Mr. Duenas noted the Greenburg Road/217 overcrossing crossing widening funded through MSTIP 2 and federal funds. It would be completed by November. He mentioned the Tigard Senior Center parking lot and waist high garden built with Community Development Block Grant and City matching funds. He pointed out the SW North Dakota traffic calming measures. Mr. Duenas commented that the Fairhaven Street and Fairhaven Way sewer extension project was particularly successful, and that the roads were slurry sealed afterwards. He mentioned the Main Street drainage project to redirect the sewer flow from a private line to the public system. He noted the construction of the Menlor 3.5 gallon reservoir tank. Mr. Duenas reviewed the priorities for the next fiscal year. Staff would continue with preventative and corrective pavement maintenance, reconstruction and realignment of major streets, and the traffic calming program (including a comprehensive Public Facilities plan for the streets system). They would also implement the street lighting program and the commercial sewer extension program. Mr. Duenas noted the five pathways under consideration. He explained that they would bid out the Fanno Creek pathway and the pathway connection between Tigard Street and North Dakota as a package for completion this year while the other three would take a back seat to these top priorities. Mr. Duenas mentioned the design for the realignment of the Wain ut/Tiedeman/Fonner intersection into a four legged intersection. He said that staff has taken the SW 79th Avenue realignment design to the CITs for public input and found much concern over how it would be funded. He suggested possibly a combination of LID and City funding. Mr. Duenas reported that staff asked the County to break down the Walnut/121St Avenue intersection in the MSTIP 3 program into three phases so it would get a higher priority. He confirmed to Mayor Nicoli that they could accelerate this project by the City fronting the money out of the TIF funds. The County would then reimburse the City out of the MSTIP 3 funds as they were collected. Councilor Scheckla asked if the County would reimburse the full amount. Mayor Nicoli said that the County would reimburse the full amount but was looking in addition at the interest beyond full reimbursement as requested by Tualatin. Mr. Duenas suggested that the City prepare to run Gaarde Street out past SW 121St to Walnut by doing the preliminary engineering and design. He mentioned that. DKS Engineering was doing a traffic study for the City as part of the transportation system update, which would give them needed information. He mentioned options either to "T" a local street into Walnut or to "T" Walnut into Gaarde and let Gaarde be the main street. He supported the second option because of the residences lining both sides of Walnut back to Tiedeman. Mr. Duenas noted the consultant's work in developing solutions on restoring Summerlake. Mr., Duenas reviewed upcoming projects. He mentioned the Fanno Creek pathway, and rebuilding two bridges that, while structurally sound, could not handle water quantity and flooded. Councilor Rohlf expressed concern at spending money on the North Dakota bridge before the redesign for North Dakota and Tiedeman was completed. Mr. Duenas concurred. He explained that there was no good solution to the North Dakota/Tiedeman intersection dilemma but they would try to make the best of a bad situation. Mr. Duenas mentioned an upcoming meeting with Matrix to discuss the Hall and Sattler intersection improvements, possible signalization, and realignment of Ross Road for a four legged intersection. Councilor Scheckla asked why this was a higher priority than improving 79th and Bonita, noting traffic patterns in the area. Mr. Duenas said that improving this intersection would likely improve the traffic patterns in the area. Councilor Moore mentioned the trees overhanging Hall just down from the Sattler intersection that obscured the sitelines for oncoming traffic. Mr. Duenas mentioned the SW 91St Avenue improvements funded by a Community Development Block Grant. Councilor Scheckla suggested putting in street lights at the same time. Mr. Duenas said that staff would look into that. Mr. Duenas said that they would use the same public process they used last year to get citizen input, as they thought that it had worked well. He mentioned June 23 as the tentative date for the CIP on the Council'Q agenda. Councilor Hunt asked for the status on the traffic signal at SW 121St and Scholls Ferry. Mr. Duenas reported that they were working with the County on it. The County has told the City to get a consultant's analysis on what improvements were necessary to install a left hand turn lane that would not conflict with oncoming traffic. Staff intended to have DKS Engineering do that, and present it to the County for their review. He commented that the Council policy of annexing the Walnut Island would help with the situation on 121St because the City would then have control of the road instead of the County. 10.
