City of Tigard.
3. BULL MOUNTAIN WHITE PAPERS
Community Development Director Hendryx provided background information on the
subcommittees and white papers. Mr. Hendryx stated the subcommittees were to
explore the cost, transition of services and implementation surrounding annexation.
Parks
Subcommittee Member Switzer described the membership of the subcommittee. City
of Tigard residents, Bull Mountain residents, and city and county staff were
represented. A cting Public Works Director Koellermeier and Parks and Facilities
Manager Plaza were also present. The subcommittee worked on a concept for parks
on Bull Mountain. He stated decisions were reached by consensus.
Mr. Switzer summarized the subcommittee's most important issues:
1. Washington County does not currently provide park and recreation services to
unincorporated Bull Mountain, nor do they charge park system development
charges (SDCs).
2. Availability of SDC funding during the first five years of annexation.
3. Can SDC revenues collected on Bull Mountain, after the first five years, be
dedicated to securing parks only on Bull Mountain?
4. What financial alternatives exist for acquiring park space on Bull Mountain?
5. What impact does Metro's Goal 5 have on Bull Mountain parks?
6. Calling a moratorium, or perhaps public facilities strategy, to temporarily stop
development until SDCs could be collected.
7. Identified Bull Mountain area park property owned by the city and potential
park sites of one-acre or more that are currently available.
8. Can a viable parks concept plan be developed?
Subcommittee Member Hanford summarized section two of the parks white paper
noting the city plans to use SDCs collected from Bull Mountain for Bull Mountain. He
explained the Bull Mountain Parks Concept Plan envisions 45 acres of parkland for the
area.
Tigard City Council Minutes Page 2
Meeting of June 15, 2004
Based upon section two, summary of benefits, Mr. Switzer provided the highlights of
the Bull Mountain Parks Concept Plan detailing possible park sites and configurations.
Mr. Switzer referred to area 63 or 64 on the Bull Mountain proposed Park Concept
Plan map as a potential site for a large community park.
Mr. Hanford read the subcommittee's recommendations detailed in the white paper.
In response to a question from Councilor Woodruff, Mr. Hendryx explained SDC
charges are calculated by a prescribed method based on a formula. The parks plan,
cost of land and Improvements, park acres per population, future park needs, and
park maintenance are all factors related to the calculation of SDCs.
In response to a question from Councilor Wilson, Mr. Switzer commented on the
subcommittee's emphasis on traditional parks versus the preservatign of green spaces.
He stated the subcommittee identified every piece of potential park property over a
certain size. He added of the property identified, nearly all had been "touched,"
leaving little opportunity for preservation efforts.
Mayor Dirksen inquired whether enough land exists to create sufficient park space.
Mr. Hanford said he did not believe sufficient land existed within the study area. He
added sufficient property may be available when considering the expansion areas or
when looking outside the urban growth boundary. Mr. Switzer agreed with Mr.
Hanford and added although adequate land is not available, the subcommittee had
developed very good solutions given the amount of land they had to work with.
Mayor Dirksen commented the Bull Mountain area is the most underserved area with
regard to. parks. He noted although an item for the Council to consider, it seemed
logical to spend SDCs collected from the Bull Mountain area in the Bull Mountain
area.
Planning
Subcommittee Members Buehner, Meads, Beilstein, Duling and Washington County
Representative Rice were present for this white paper summary. Ms. Meads described
the membership of the subcommittee. City of Tigard residents, Bull Mountain
residents, and city and county staff were represented. Community Development
Director Hendryx was also present.
Ms. Meads reported the biggest issue identified by the subcommittee was the need to
update the Tigard Comprehensive Plan as soon as possible. Ms. Meads read the
subcommittee's summary of issues detailed the white paper.
Tigard City Council Minutes Page 3
Meeting of June 15, 2004
Ms. Buehner commented if the city is unable to address the comprehensive plan
update soon and, once initiated,the eupdating the comprehensive p an was not
land will have been developed. She added
in this year's plan with the current staff.
In response to Councilor Sherwood, Mr. Hendryx explained with issues such as the
downtown plan, Goal 5 and other planning efforts, the planning department was not
able to take on another major project.
Mr. Monahan added if the Council decides to proceed with annexaon and
annexation is successful, the Council could then consider staffing opportunities
up for the July 1, 2005 implementation. The comprehensive plan process could be
reviewed at the same time. Mr. Monahan
could and begin Mr. in the near said some preliminary
future.

With regard to development and zoning, Ms. Rice described how the Bull Mountain

Councilor Wilson asked the subcommittee what it hoped to accomplish with an
update the comprehensive plan. Ms. Buehner stated currently Bull Mountain is zoned
evenly. She suggested a comprehensive plan update might allow for rezoning to
accommodate a quasi-commercial area with denser development, which would allow
zoned higher to overall density.

Ms. Meads advised the subcommittee was interested in making the density transfer
changes before the area was built out.
Councilor Woodruff mentioned the similarity between the subcommittee's comments
and the visioning committee's findings.
The subcommittee reported there was no consensus among the group that annexation
was the best way to address the concerns raised. Ms. Meads continued by saying
consensus was reached, by residents of Tigard and Bull Mountain, that something
needed to be done, as soon as possible, to protect both areas.

Meeting of June 15, 2004
Police Services
Subcommittee Member Edwards was present for this white paper summary. Mr.
Edwards described the membership of the subcommittee. City of Tigard residents,
Bull Mountain residents, and city and county staff were represented. Assistant Chief
Orr was also present.
Mr. Edwards commented through the subcommittee meetings, several hidden issues
were resolved.
Mr. Edwards described the subcommittee's summary of issues and findings and
summary of cost comparisons contained in the white paper. It was noted both county
and city police service providers deliver comparable service at comparable cost and
under annexation, services to Bull Mountain would remain at least the same level as
currently provided.
Mr. Edwards reported there was a consensus of the subcommittee that there would be
total cooperative effort between police agencies, Tigard citizens and residents of
unincorporated Bull Mountain. Annexation would be quick, planned for, and
established personnel would be brought in and trained. Mr. Edwards concluded by
adding Bull Mountain residents could expect the same level of service currently
provided, with no loss in transition.
Mr. Monahan suggested excess funds, available as a result of annexation, could be
borrowed against in order to have city police officers geared up and ready when
annexation takes effect. Then, on July 1, 2005, annexation would have no impact on
police services for existing city residents or for the Bull Mountain community.
Councilor Wilson confirmed the county law enforcement budget does not clearly
identify county wide services that are delivered to cities versus the unincorporated
areas exclusively. He further confirmed that the Enhanced Sheriff's Patrol District was
created to address the inequity of cities subsidizing unincorporated urban areas, and
pointed out the county didn't follow through with this plan. Mr. Monahan added the
County Sheriff was committed to conducting an analysis of this issue.
Councilor Woodruff inquired about a satellite police office. Mr. Monahan mentioned
outside the work of the subcommittee, there had been discussions with the school
district about a potential satellite police report writing room at the Alberta Rider
School or on other property.

Meeting of June 15, 2004
Streets
Subcommittee Member Giroux was present for this white paper summary. Mr.
Giroux described the membership of the subcommittee. City of Tigard residents, Bull
Mountain residents, and city and county staff were represented. City Engineer
Duenas, A cting Assistant Public Works Director Rager, and Washington County
Representative Saager were also present.
Mr. Giroux read portions of the subcommittee's white paper.
Mr. Giroux added since the subcommittee's report, he has learned Beef Bend Road
will eventually be turned over to municipalities. He stated this would likely occur after
annexation.
Mr. Giroux relayed some streets would not automatically transfer to the city upon
annexation. Transfer of these streets must be done by separate action and this process
is estimated to take six months. The transfer process should be initiated well before
annexation.
Mayor Dirksen asked if the subcommittee had noted any streets that may be
problematic, should no maintenance be performed for six months to a year. Mr.
Giroux stated more research would need to be done to answer this question.
Mr. Duenas added about half the streets would have to go through a separate action
in order to be annexed. He explained it becomes difficult for public works employees
to discriminate among such streets. Mr. Duenas said the streets could be transferred
relatively easily within a few months.
Mr. Hendryx concluded by saying the subcommittees had focused on a consensus
building process. He advised Council they were scheduled to hear public comment on
the all white papers at their June 22, 2004 meeting. Public comment may continue
on June 23 and 24.
Councilor Moore expressed his appreciation to the subcommittees. He said the white
papers are very complete and the subcommittees accomplished a great deal in a short
time period.
Mayor Dirksen added next week the Council would consider accepting the white
papers and would be listening to public comment.
Meeting recessed at 8:12 p.m.

Meeting of June IS, 2004
Meeting reconvened at 8:23 p.m.
4. REVIEW PARK AND RECREATION NEEDS ASSESSMENT SURVEY DRAFT #2
Parks and Facilities Manager Plaza updated the Council on this agenda item. He said,
on Monday, the Park and Recreation Advisory Board will meet with the consultant
before making a final recommendation. A final draft will come before the Council on
July 20, 2004 and the survey is slated to be conducted in August.
5. UPDATE ON THE WEED HARVESTING AT SUMMER LAKE
Parks and Facilities Manager Plaza introduced this item. City Manager Monahan
explained several years ago some issues arose regarding the quality of the lake. Water
sources, water temperature, algae growth and changes in regulations have impacted
the lake and its management. Back when the quality issues came about, the Council
consulted aquatic experts and staff and decided to harvest the weeds growing in the
lake. This was a temporary way to address weed growth. To permanently correct the
problem, physical changes would need to be made to the lake.
Mr. Monahan told the Council Summer Lake weed harvesting had been deleted from
the budget this year and a resident raised concerns.
City Engineer Duenas stated there had been a task force formed to address the was the
Summer Lake weed issue. He exprlained one of
ommendat~ton waset stake the lake offlinetand
weeds. The ultimate long-term
create a natural stream alongside the lake. The estimated cost of this proposal was
between $600,000 and $800,000. There was concern there may not be enough
water flow to support the lake and a stream.

noted the weeds and unpleasant odor are

Mayor Dirksen added if the lake is taken offline, water quality is no longer an issue
and the city would have greater flexibility in managing the lake.
Councilor Wilson advised taking the lake offline would be controversial and could
compromise the nature of the park. He added he would be very concerned about the
ramifications of taking the lake offline. Mr. Duenas relayed Clean Water Services
favors taking the lake offline, but the city had no plans to spend the money required
Tigard City Council Minutes
Meeting of June 15, 2004
Page 7
for such a project. Mr. Duenas remarked taking the lake offiine would not negate the
need for weed harvesting.
A short video depicting weed harvesting at Summer Lake was viewed. The video
showed a floating harvester with reciprocating teeth. The teeth run along the bottom
of the lake extracting the weeds and placing them on a conveyor belt. The harvester
returned to shore where the weeds were offloaded. A backhoe is brought in to load
the weeds onto a dump truck for disposal. It was noted that in the process of weed
harvesting, the shoreline is damaged by the harvester and the other heavy equipment
creates tracks to the lake.
Mr. Plaza stated public opinion regarding weed harvesting varies widely. He indicated
due to the cost and environmental damage, the city intended to postpone weed
harvesting until 2005.
Mr. Monahan asked about the current condition of the lake. Parks Supervisor Martin
relayed there was some algae bloom, but few weed issues. As the weather gets
warmer, greater algae bloom can be expected, but an increase in weeds is not
anticipated.
In response to a question from Councilor Wilson, Mr. Duenas said the lake would
need to approach a depth of 20 feet in order to make conditions unfavorable for
weed growth. He related the current depth is around five or six feet.
6. UPDATE ON THE PERMIT CENTER AND CITY HALL REMODEL
City Manager Ntonahan introduced Risk Manager Mills. He told the Council Ms. Mills
is responsible for the remodel. Ms. Mills distributed a handout (Agenda Item No. 6,
Exhibit 1) entitled "Permit Center 8t City Hall Remodel Update." The handout is on
file in the City Recorder's office. Ms. Mills noted the engineer's estimate for the cost
of the project has increased due to the rising cost of steel, concrete and petroleum.
Ms. Mills explained the DUST (Divvy Up Space and Technology) Committee was
made up primarily of department heads and executive staff. The goal of the
committee was to configure the remodel to meet the needs of customers. The old
library is slated to become a permit center.
Ms. Mills summarized the timeline on page one of the handout.
Tigard City Council Minutes Page 8
Meeting of June 15, 2004
The permit center will contain community development, engineering, human
resources and risk. Six conference rooms are planned for this facility. City Hall will
house the City Manager and his immediate staff and finance.
Ms. Mills discussed project costs. Pricing on steel, concrete and petroleum based
products has been volatile and there has been an unprecedented increase in the cost
of these items. The engineer's estimate for the remodel of the permit center and City
Hall is $ 82.83 a square foot and $13.26 a square foot respectively. Ms. Mills
described some of the project cost drivers listed on the handout. Mr. Monahan
mentioned the library's lack of sufficient restrooms. Correcting this issue will
contribute to the remodel cost. Ms. Mills commented that based on the engineer's
estimate, the city has budgeted $1.1 million in the CIP facilities fund. She noted there
is also a CIP facilities fund general contingency available in the event costs come in
above the engineer's estimate.
In response to a question from Councilor Woodruff, Ms. Mills relayed modular units
will remain in place for now. She noted they may be used for records or evidence
storage or may be used to accommodate growth should the Bull Mountain annexation
take place. Record and evidence storage was discussed further, with Mr. Monahan
relating the public works building may become a possible storage site when this
department relocates to the water building.
7. REVIEW OF TUALATIN BASIN GOAL 5 MAP
Community Development Director Hendryx and Associate Planner Hajduk presented
this item. Two handouts, a "Summary of Existing Natural Resource Regulations"
(Agenda Item No. 7, Exhibit 1) and a "Comparison Between Areas of Existing
Regulation and Areas Discussed with Current Goal 5 Efforts" (Agenda Item No. 7,
Exhibit 2), were distributed.
Ms. Hajduk presented a Tigard area map depicting natural resources which are
currently regulated. These resources include: steep slopes, floodplains, wetlands and
stream and wetland buffers. Ms. Hajduk's first handout provided a brief overview of
the current regulations as they apply to these resources.
Ms. Hajduk presented a second Tigard area map depicting additional areas which
would potentially be regulated by Goal 5. She distributed a second handout which
compared land which falls under current regulations to land that would be regulated
under Goal 5. She remarked areas identified on the proposed Goal 5 map

Meeting of June 15, 2004

Will
represented about 1,000 additional acres. About 450 acres of the additional land is
considered buildable. Criteria for upland wildlife habitat were discussed briefly.
Councilor Wilson expressed concern over habitat preservation and mitigation. He
stated the Initial goal was to prevent any further loss of habitat and to actually
Improve existing habitat. He indicated the proposed plan was not realistic. He feared
the proposal would not only fail to address the goal, but would create cumbersome
regulations.
It was noted urban growth expansion areas 63 and 64 show large portions of land
which fall under the "strictly limited" category. Ms. Hajduk responded this did not
mean these areas could not be developed. If developed, however, developers may
have to mitigate, minimize the impact of development, or pay a fee.
Councilor Wilson pointed out the majority of the land affected by Goal 5 was
residential. He asserted it would be preferable to preserve such land. He added it was
ineffective to mitigate.
Councilor Woodruff concurred by saying in the Bull Mountain white papers and the
visioning process, the community communicated it wished to save as much land as
possible.
Councilor Sherwood inquired about the impact to property owners. Councilor Wilson
responded he would like to see property owners offer to conserve their property in
exchange for rights to move the urban growth boundary, in a sense trading urban
reserve property for land contained within the boundary. He reiterated the proposed
regulations seemed cumbersome and ineffective.
Mayor Dirksen advocated for the involvement of environmental experts in the
process. Ms. Hajduk stated once program specifics are identified, modeling would be
employed to determine if environmental health would be improved.
Mayor Dirksen expressed concern over the creation of burdensome regulations and
restrictive policies.
Ms. Hajduk advised recommendations had been received from local environmental
groups. The recommendations included:
■ prohibiting development in all floodplains located in commercial and residential
areas
■ classifying all Class 1 and 11 resource areas as strictly limited
Tigard City Council Minutes Page 10
Meeting of June 15, 2004
■ prohibit development in certain areas where species of concern have been
identifled.
The Tualatin Riverkeepers also recommended the following be classified as strictly
limited:
■ all floodways, wetlands, wetland buffers and vegetated stream corridors
■ Class I and Class A resources in parks
■ Class I and Class A resources in industrial areas along Fanno Creek down
stream of Highway 99W and on Red Rock Creek
Ms. Hajduk Informed the Council they did not need to take any action on this issue.
There will be additional opportunities to shape the program as it evolves. She
reported some citizen groups were advocating for stricter regulations.
Mr. Hendryx verified the calculations of buildable land included the Bull Mountain
area, but not the urban reserve areas. Ms. Hajduk noted there was more buildable
land on Bull Mountain than in the City of Tigard.
Ms. Hajduk Informed the Council limits were determined based upon the resource
and the zone. She added higher intensity uses received lower levels of limit because
there is a greater economic need. Reserve areas were placed at a higher level, not
because they have higher value, but because they are basically a clean slate and have
more potential to be saved.
Councilor Woodruff indicated he supported saving as much open space as possible
without penalizing property owners. He noted this was a consistent message expressed
by citizens. Councilor Wilson replied property owners would be impacted by such
action.
8. COUNCIL LIAISON REPORTS: None.

The stated objectives of the Task Forces are:
♦ Develop an approach for transition of key urban services that occurs through
annexation.
♦ Provide additional review for public involvement and discussion.
♦ Develop a strategy for implementation of the Annexation Plan, e.g. funding,
planning, etc.
Subcommittee Structure and Process
Each of the four subcommittees was comprised of Bull Mountain residents and City of
Tigard residents. In addition, two City staff members and at least one Washington
County staff member served on each subcommittee. The Bull Mountain and City
residents were appointed by the Mayor based on submittal of a Citizen Interest
Application. A list of the membership of each subcommittee is on page one of each
white paper.
Each one of the subcommittees met at least five times and the meetings were open to
the public. The meeting schedules were posted on the City's web site and also are
listed on the first page of each white paper.
The subcommittee's discussions focused on four areas: identification of issues, the key
impacts of the annexation on Bull Mountain residents and Tigard residents including
cost comparisons, transition of services, and the implementation of the annexation plan.
Each white paper contains specific recommendations on how issues identified by the
subcommittee members could be addressed upon annexation. The Parks
Subcommittee recommendations address SDCs, a planning process for parks on Bull
Mountain and a moratorium/public facilities strategy. The Planning Subcommittee
recommendations address the Comprehensive Plan process, a public facility
strategy/moratorium and planned development and design review. The Police
Subcommittee recommendations address state law regarding Sheriff's Deputies
transfers, and the timing of City police staffing increases. The Streets Subcommittee
recommendations address funding, planning and timing for street maintenance and
improvements. Copies of each of the white papers are attached.
Next Steps
At the June 15 City Council workshop meeting members of the four subcommittees and
staff will present the white papers to Council for discussion. At the June 22 Council
meeting, public comments will be taken on the white papers. On July 13, a resolution to
accept the white papers will be presented for Council consideration.

Bull Mountain Annexation
White Paper on Parks and Open Spaces
The purpose of Bull Mountain Subcommittees is to provide additional time for public
discussion and review of key benefits of the Bull Mountain Annexation Plan. The
objectives of the task forces are:
Develop an approach for transition of key urban services that occurs through
annexation
Provide additional review for public involvement and discussion
Develop a strategy for implementation of the Annexation Plan, e.g. funding,
planning, etc.
Section One - Summary of public involvement and discussion
■ Task Force membership:
Carl Switzer, Jerry Hanford, Julie Russell, Mike Freudenthal, Kathy Najdek, &
staff: Dennis Koellermeier - Acting Public Works Director, Dan Plaza - Parks
Manager, and Chris Wayland - Washington County Support Services (could
not attend meetings)
■ Meeting dates: March 1, March 10, March 19, April 14, April 28
■ Summary of issues raised:
1. What financial alternatives are there to secure parks on Bull Mountain?
(see attachment #1)
2. What is the availability of SDC funding during the first five-years after
the date of annexation? (see attachment #1)
3. What impact does the Tualatin Basin's Goal 5 process have on Bull
Mountain?
4. Can a viable Parks Concept Plan be developed after all the residential
development that has taken place on Bull Mountain? (see attachment
#1)
5. Can SDC revenue, generated on Bull Mountain during the first 5-years
after annexation, be dedicated to securing parks on Bull Mountain?
6. Can a Moratorium, or Public Facilities Strategy to temporarily stop
development until SDCs be imposed? (see attachment #5)
7. What park property does the City currently own on Bull Mountain? (see
attachment #2) Are there potential park sites of one-acre or more on
Bull Mountain or surrounding area (UGB area or beyond) available for
neighborhood and/or community parks? (see attachment #3)
Section Two - Summary of key impacts of annexation on Bull Mountain
residents and Tigard residents:
With or without annexation, the number of people using existing and proposed parks
in the City of Tigard area will continue to grow. With annexation, and the
implementation of the Bull Mountain Parks Concept Plan, 45-acres of park land
could be developed. Without annexation, the need for park land will continue to
grow and will only be able to be solved by current City of Tigard residents paying for
growth related development. The City of Tigard's Park System Master Plan identifies
a standard of 11-acres of park space per 1,000 residents. The City of Tigard
currently has 7.8 acres of parks space per 1,000 residents. Bull Mountain currently
has 1.8 acres per thousand residents. The ratio of park space acreage to residents
will continue to decrease as the population increases and the amount of park space
stays the same (see Table 2.1). To rectify this situation the Task Force has
developed a Parks Concept Plan (see attachment #1) for the Bull Mountain area.
Funding, planning, and timing are discussed in Section Four of this White Paper. If
annexation does not occur, an estimated $2M in potential SDC fees would not be
collected over the next 5-years which, if collected, would enable the City to begin
implementation of the Parks Concept Plan. The Task Force recommends that SDCs
collected on Bull Mountain be spent on Bull Mountain projects. It should be noted
that the City has already promised, in the annexation handouts, to use Bull Mountain
SDCs on Bull Mountain. The subsequent impact of earmarking SDCs generated on
Bull Mountain to Bull Mountain projects could possibly be a slowdown in the
completion of park projects scheduled to be constructed within the current City of
Tigard (e.g., Jack Park, Northview Park, Summerlake Park).
■ Summary of costs: $9-11 M (see attachment #1)
■ Summary of benefits: The Bull Mountain Parks Concept Plan, if and when
approved and carried out, will provide not only the current City of Tigard
residents, but also the Bull MountAin area residents with the following:
1. 2+ miles of trails where possible and approved by BPA/PGE, with
several "nodal" park sites (see attachments 8, 9, 10), not under
BPA/PGE powerlines, but adjacent to the powerlines, totalling
approximateiy 2.5-acres, possibly containing features such as
playgrounds, picnic shelters, benches, basketball courts, exercise
stations, drinking fountains, rock climbing equipment, wall ball
structure, etc.,
2. A trail system will be installed at the existing 12-acre Cach Creek
Nature Park,
3. Possibly 2 to 3 neighborhood parks each totalling 2- to 3-acres (see
attachment 7)
4. One 20+ acre community/regional park (possibly located in the UGB or
beyond).

Section Three - Transition of services
Options considered: N/A - Washington County does not provide park and
recreation services to the unincorporated Bull Mountain area nor do they
charge a parks SDC. It should be noted that since the City of Tigard and
Washington County entered into an IGA to provide urban services in the Bull
Mountain area, over $1,000,000 in potential park SDCs have been lost
because the County does not charge a parks SDC.
■ Evaluation criteria: See Section 4 - Implementation of the Annexation Plan
■ Recommended approach: See Section 4 - Timing
Section Four - Implementation of the Annexation Plan
■ Recommended strategy for implementation: The Task Force created the
Bull Mountain Parks Concept Plan. Upon annexation the following updates
should be completed: Bull Mountain Parks Concept Plan, and the Park
System Master Plan, along with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
o Funding: Current projected revenues to be collected on Bull Mountain, if
annexed, over the next 5-years are approximately $2M (see attachment
#1). The Bull Mountain Parks Concept Plan projects that land acquisition
and park development costs range from $9M to $11 M. Obviously, projects
exceed the amount of available revenue needed to secure adequate
parks. One solution is for the City to seek grants to acquire and develop
park property. Further, as with Cook Park, a State of Oregon loan can be
sought to "jump start' land acquisition and park development on Bull
Mountain. It should be noted however, that SDC revenues, along with
grants and loans will not totally fund the Bull Mountain Parks Concept
Plan. Additional revenues, derived from bond measures and/or tax levies,
will need to be considered. If not, it may be necessary to delay and/or cut
projects until adequate revenues are found.
o Planning: The Task Force created the Bull Mountain Parks Concept
Plan. Upon annexation, it is recommended that the Park System Master
Plan should be updated within one-year (this would incorporate the Bull
Mountain Parks Concept Plan into the Park System Master Plan).
Subsequently, update the City's Comprehensive Plan. Julia Hajduk, an
Associate Planner for the City of Tigard, discussed the Tualatin Basin's
Goal 5 process with the Task Force. Currently, there are open space and
natural area resources on Bull Mountain that are being recommended to
be classified as strictly limited and/or moderately limited for development.
In other words, there are open space and natural areas on Bull Mountain
that can be the focus of protection efforts and may be able to be protected
by the program that is developed to implement Goal 5.
o Timing: Year One's Theme is, "Get Pertinent Plans In Order"
1. Update the following: SDC Methodology, Park System Master Plan,
Bull Mountain Parks Concept Plan, City Comprehensive Plan;
2. Conduct neighborhood meetings to discuss and finalize plans;
3. Arrange for trail easements, where possible, with BPA/PGE; and,
4. Perhaps purchase property early-on to take advantage of availability
and cost.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1) The City Council should accept and adopt this "white and Open Spaces Task Force. as developed
by the Bull Mountain Parks
2) The Task Force recognizes that the park acres to population ratio in the
Bull Mountain study area is substantially below the existing ratio in the City
A- of Tigard. Because of that, the Task Force recommends that futue park
SDCs, generated by construction in the Bull Mountain study area, be
dedicated to the purchase and development of park lands locate in, or
near, the study area. It should be noted that it may be wise to purchase
property early-on, in years one, two or three, to take advantage of
~ availability and cost. The Task Force also recommends an encourages
w the City to work closely with METRO to ensure that open spaces and park
J
land are acquired and developed on Bull Mountain.
3) Within one-year of annexation, the city should conduct a public process to
review and update the attached Bull Mountain Parks Concept Plan and
incorporate it into the Park System Master Plan.
4) Further explore the moratorium/Public Facilities Strategy methodologies.
5) The Task Force highly recommends that the County immediately begin
collecting SDCs.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Dennis Koellermeier
FROM: Dan Plaza
RE: "Public Facilities Strategy" & "Moratoriums"
DATE: April 8, 2004
On March 10 the Bull Mountain Parks and Open Space Task Force raised a question as to "the
City Council adopting a 'Public Facilities Strategy' (ala Wilsonville) that would freeze growth until
the election could take place and SDC's would be collected". Staff was asked to research the
matter and report back to the Task Force on April 14.
The "Public Facilities Strategy" and "Moratorium" processes are lengthy and complex. It is
anticipated that the Task Force will recommend to the Council via the "white paper" how to
proceed. The following information was collected on this matter:
The City of Wilsonville, Oregon, went through this process a few years ago and input was
requested from them. The following was received on March 24.
"if you are aware of Oregon's moratorium laws regarding limiting development due to the
lack of infrastructure, the "Public Facility Strategy" is the vehicle by which the needed
infrastructure can be provided while suspending additional demands on the system.
This suspension has a limitation of (2) years. Take our situation here In Wilsonville a
few years back with our water supply. We placed a temporary limit on new building
permits until we had the ability to supply additional water through the construction of the
new treatment plant. This particular strategy was in place for about (2) years. We have
used a similar strategy in providing transportation improvements. In fact, we will be
employing a new one for transportation in the next few months."
Further information on this matter was requested from Barbara Shields, who commented as
follows.
"This is my response to your question. This is not a legal opinion, just a general
description of the issues. Moratoriums are complex processes and are controlled by a
specific set of state statutes that must be strictly followed, as required by ORS 197.520.
If needed, we can consider a legal opinion from our city attorney to clarify some the
recent moratorium cases before you get back to the subcommittee.
"In general, the following factors need to be considered in the context of the Bull
Mountain situation:
1. It has to be a sufficient reason for a moratorium. The involved local government must
show "irrevocable public harm. "In Wilsonville's case, they could demonstrate this by
showing that they were out of water. The "irrevocable public harm" criterion would
have to be applied to the Bull Mountain situation. Also, as indicated in the statute,
regardless the "irrevocable public harm" criterion, the local government would have to
develop a number of other legal findings, which are very specific and try to strike a
balance between the needed housing and capacity of existing facilities, and a
moratorium as a means to accomplish this balance.
2. Timeline to process a moratorium. The process requires a 45-day notice to the
Department of Land Conservation and Development. It can be appealed to LUBA
(Land Use Board of Appeals), which would further impact the timeline.
3. Jurisdiction. The Board of Commissioners would have to act and follow the
formalized state law process."
This issue was discussed with the City Attorney, Gary Firestone, and he has concluded the
following:
"As far as moratoria are concerned, "public facilities" is defined as those public facilities
for which a public facilities plan is requires by ORS 197.712, ORS 197.712 requires
public facilities plans for sewer, water, and transportations, but not other services.
Therefore, parks arenY "public facilities" for the purposes of the moratorium statute, and
a moratorium cannot be declared because of an insufficiency of parks.
It is less clear whether a park is a public facility for the purposes of the public facilitates
statute. That statute (ORS 197.768) does not expressly state what constitutes a public
facility. However, a public facilities strategy may justify a denial of permits for lack of
public facilities under ORS 197.524. As used in ORS 197.524, "public facilities" is limited
to streets, water, and sewer. It is possible that a court could conclude that a public
facilities strategy cannot justify a denial unless the public facilities strategy is directed at
water, sewer, or streets. It is also possible that LUBA or a court could find that a lack of
parks is not a sufficient reason to deny or delay development."
In my conversation with the City Attorney we did concluded that if this strategy were to be
applied:
the County should do it in the unincorporated area
it is a multi-month process to implement, at best
e we should anticipate considerable challenge to the approach, which would more than
likely delay any implementation date to far past the proposed election date
We have also requested information on this issue from the Land Conservation and
Development Commission (LCDC). When that material arrives, we will amend this memo if
needed.

a
197.520 Manner of declaring moratorium
MORATORIUM ON CONSTRUCTION OR LAND DEVELOPMENT
197.520 Manner of declaring moratorium. (1) No city, county or special district
may adopt a moratorium on construction or land development unless it first:
(a) Provides written notice to the Department of Land Conservation and Development
at least 45 days prior to the final public hearing to be held to consider the adoption of the
moratorium;
(b) Makes written findings justifying the need for the moratorium in the manner
provided for in this section; and
(c) Holds a public hearing on the adoption of the moratorium and the findings which
support the moratorium.
(2) For urban or urbanizable land, a moratorium may be justified by demonstration of
a need to prevent a shortage of public facilities which would otherwise occur during the
effective period of the moratorium. Such a demonstration shall be based upon reasonably
available information, and shall include, but need not be limited to, findings:
(a) Showing the extent of need beyond the estimated capacity of existing public
facilities expected to result from new land development, including identification of any
public facilities currently operating beyond capacity, and the portion of such capacity
already committed to development;
(b) That the moratorium is reasonably limited to those areas of the city, county or
special district where a shortage of key public facilities would otherwise occur; and
(c) That the housing and economic development needs of the area affected have been
accommodated as much as possible in any program for allocating any remaining public
facility capacity.
(3) A moratorium not based on a shortage of public facilities under subsection (2) of
this section may be justified only by a demonstration of compelling need. Such a
demonstration shall be based upon reasonably available information and shall include, but

(a) For urban or urbanizable land:
(A) That application of existing development ordinances or regulations and other
applicable law is inadequate to prevent irrevocable public harm from development in
affected geographical areas;
(B) That the moratorium is sufficiently limited to ensure that a needed supply of
affected housing types and the supply of commercial and industrial facilities within or in
proximity to the city, county or special district are not unreasonably restricted by the
adoption of the moratorium;
(C) Stating the reasons alternative methods of achieving the oibjectives of the
moratorium are unsatisfactory;
(D) That the city, county or special district has determined that the public harm which
would be caused by failure to impose a moratorium outweighs the adverse effects on
other affected local governments, including shifts in demand for housing or economic
development, public facilities and services and buildable lands, and the overall impact of
the moratorium on population distribution; and
ORS 197.520
(E) That the city, county or special district proposing the moratorium has determined
that sufficient resources are available to complete the development of needed interim or
permanent changes in plans, regulations or procedures within the period of effectiveness
of the moratorium.
(b) For rural land:
(A) That application of existing development ordinances or regulations and other
applicable law is inadequate to prevent irrevocable public harm from development in
affected geographical areas;
(B) Stating the reasons alternative methods of achieving the objectives of the
moratorium are unsatisfactory;
(C) That the moratorium is sufficiently limited to ensure that lots or parcels outside
the affected geographical areas are not unreasonably restricted by the adoption of the

Bull Mountain Annexation
White Paper on Plannin
The purpose of the Bull Mountain Subcommittees is to provide additional time for public
discussion and review of key benefits of the Bull Mountain Annexation Plan.
The objectives of the subcommittees are:
➢ Develop an approach for transition of key urban services that occurs through
annexation
➢ Provide additional review for public involvement and discussion
➢ Develop a strategy for implementation of the Annexation Plan, e.g. funding,
planning, etc.
The Planning Subcommittee met 6 times in meetings that were open to the public. Notice
was provided on the City web page indicating the time and location of the meetings.
Meeting minutes were also posted on the web page. All meetings were held in the Ash
Creek Conference Room at City Hall. The draft white paper was reviewed at the meeting
on May 12, 2004. The revised draft was reviewed and finalized on May 26, 2004.
Section One
Summary of public involvement and discussion
• Subcommittee membership:
Gretchen Buchner, City of Tigard resident, Planning Commissioner
Kathy Meads, City of Tigard resident, Planning Commissioner
Rebecca Vonada, City of Tigard resident
Ellen Beilstein, Unincorporated Washington County resident
Stuart Byron, Unincorporated Washington County resident
Teddi Duling, Unincorporated Washington County resident
• Staff:
Jim Hendryx, City of Tigard Director of Community Development
Barbara Shields, City of Tigard Planning Manager
Joanne Rice, Washington County DLUT
Subcommittee members worked cooperatively in developing the White Paper.
Recommendations were developed by consensus. Recommendations came
from the citizens on the committee with input on wordage and process from
the staff representatives.
■ Meeting dates:
March 10; March s 1; April 21; April 28; May 12; May 26, 2004
Summary of issues raised:
■ The Washington County Bull Mountain Community Plan is out of date and
needs to be updated. The County has no plans to update their Comprehensive
Page 1
Revised 5/26/04
Plan, including the Bull Mountain Community Plan. The County will
continue to make periodic changes to elements of the Comprehensive Plan to
comply with mandatory Federal, State, and Regional requirements.
■ The City of Tigard's Comprehensive Plan is out of date and needs to be
updated. The Planning Commission is currently working on a schedule for
updating the City's Comprehensive Plan. Once begun, this process may take
up to 3 years to complete. Recommend budgeting additional resources to
expedite the process.
■ With annexation, Bull Mountain would be included with the update of the
Tigard Comprehensive Plan. Areas 63 and 64 should be included with this
process.
■ The Comprehensive Plan update, including Bull Mountain and areas 63 and
64, must be through an open and public process led by the City of Tigard.
■ The subcommittee recommends development and implementation of a design
review process, possibly including design standards, to assure compatibility of
new development with the unique characteristics of existing neighborhoods.
Time is of the essence and the implementation of this process could be
completed prior to, or in conjunction with, the Comprehensive Plan update.
■ The subcommittee recommends that Tigard pursue a public facility
strategy/moratorium or other measures to slow or stop growth until the
Comprehensive Plan is updated.
■ Prior to the Comprehensive Plan update, the subcommittee recommends that
Tigard amend its development standards to prohibit density transfers for
properties, including natural resources, as one way to address citizen concerns
about density. Tigard has appointed a review committee to look at the
Planned Development process which will consider density transfers. The
committee is reviewing and will recommend changes to the Planned
Development section of the Community Development Code to the Planning
Commission and City Council.
■ The subcommittce recognizes that the issues facing Bull Mountain are similar
i
• to those facing the rest of the community. To that end, the subcommittee
w developed a list of likes, dislikes, and the future that they would like to see
i with development (Attachment A). This list further identifies issues raised by
the subcommittee.

Section Two
Summary of key impacts of annexation on Bull Mountain residents and Tigard
residents:
Revised 5/26/04 Page 2
Subcommittee members recognize that some growth is inevitable and will
continue throughout the community and in particular on Bull Mountain. Current
growth is causing change in neighborhood character and the sense of community.
Subcommittee members are concerned about the type of development that is
occurring throughout the community, particularly dense, small lot, residential
development that is not consistent with the character of existing neighborhoods.
The Comprehensive Plans for Washington County and Tigard were completed in
the mid-80's. The subcommittee is unanimous about the need to update the
Comprehensive Plans for the City and Unincorporated Bull Mountain. While
both plans meet State and regional planning requirements, they need to be
updated to reflect current values and concerns of the community.
Washington County does not have the resources to update the Bull Mountain
Community Plan. Tigard recognizes that their Comprehensive Plan should be
updated and has started discussions with the Planning Commission on a potential
schedule. It is recognized that any update to Tigard's efforts should include the
entire community, including all of Bull Mountain, if annexed. Consideration
should also be given to include any areas included in the Urban Growth Boundary
Expansion immediately adjacent to Bull Mountain (Areas 63 & 64). However,
there is concern about the amount of time it will take to update the plan and the
resulting growth that will occur before the update is complete. Subcommittee
members expressed a need to slow development until the plan is updated or focus
resources to shorten the amount of time it takes to complete the plan update.
The subcommittee agreed to the following policy statements that will go forward
in the White Paper:
• The City of Tigard's Comprehensive Plan is out of date and needs to be updated.
The Planning Commission is currently working on a schedule for updating the
City's Comprehensive Plan. Once begun, this process may take up to 3 years to
complete. Recommend budgeting additional resources to expedite the process.
• The Washington County Bull Mountain Community Plan is also out of date and
needs to be updated. The County has no plans to update the Comprehensive Plan,
including the Bull Mountain Community Plan.
• With annexation, Bull Mountain would be included with the update of the Tigard
Comprehensive Plan. Areas 63 and 64 should be included with this process.
• The subcommittee recommends that Tigard pursue a public facility
strategy/moratorium or other measures to slow or stop growth until the
Comprehensive Plan is updated.
• The subcommittee recommends that Tigard adopt interim steps to not allow
density transfers for properties, including natural resources. Tigard has appointed
a review committee to look at the Planned Development process which will
consider density transfers. The committee will review and recommend changes to
the Planned Development section of the Community Development Code.
Revised 5/26/04 Page 3
The subcommittee recognizes that the issues facing Bull Mountain are similar to
those facing the rest of the community. To that end, the subcommittee developed a
list of likes, dislikes, and the future that they would like to see with development
(Attachment A). This list should be used as a starting point for updating the City's
Comprehensive Plan and in engaging the entire community on how the community
should continue to grow.
Subcommittee members enjoy their community and feel connected with their
neighbors. However, the pace and type of development, with higher densities and
incompatible building design, is changing the character of established neighborhoods.
The Comprehensive Plan update, if completed in a timely manner, provides an
opportunity to shape a future for Bull Mountain and the rest of the communty that is
different from what is developing under current land use standards.
There is a need for an updated plan for Bull Mountain, regardless of whether
annexation occurs. Annexation affords the opportunity to plan for the entire
community. Without annexation, Tigard lacks the authority and need to plan for
unincorporated Bull Mountain and/or the Urban Growth Boundary expansion areas
(areas 63 & 64).
Summary of costs:
No effort has been made to establish what the additional costs will be to provide
comprehenisve planning services to unincorporated Bull Mountain. The area totals
1400 - 1900 acres, depending on inclusion of the Urban Growth Boundary expansion
areas (areas 63 & 64). This represents approximately 20% - 25% of the existing City
limits. It would be reasonable to assume that costs associated with the
Comprehensive Plan update would increase by a proportionate amount.
When property is developed, within areas 63 and 64, the property owner/developer
could be assessed a fee to offset the City's costs associated with developing a
Comprehensive Plan for those areas because it directly benefits those areas. The City
should be responsible for the cost to update the Comprehensive Plan for City
properties and urban, unincorporated properties in Bull Mountain because these areas
are mostly developed.
Summary of benefits:
Annexation provides the opportunity to include the Bull Mountain area with the
update of the Tigard Comprehensive Plan; otherwise, it will not be done by the City
and the County has no plans to do so. Including adiacent Urban Growth Boundary
areas (areas 63 & 64) provides more opportunities to consider the needs of densities,
housing, open spaces, etc., throughout the entire community.
Section Three
Transition of services
Revised 5/26/04
Page 4
■ Options considered: The City would assume long range planning
responsibilities with annexation. Timing of the November election, budgeting
decisions, and actual annexation occurring the following July, would allow
consideration of the Bull Mountain area and areas 63 & 64 in the work
program for the Comprehensive Plan update. Other options were not
considered. The City lacks authority to provide for long range planning
services to unincorporated Bull Mountain and/or areas 63 & 64. Annexation
of portions of Bull Mountain to King City was not considered by this
subcommittee.
■ Evaluation criteria: After receiving a detailed background on Oregon's Land
Use Planning program and an overview of Washington County and Tigard's
Comprehensive Plans, the subcommittee developed a list of their likes,
dislikes, and the future development trends. From this list, the subcommittee
evaluated what was the best approach to address this list of concerns and
desires. Tigard has started discussions to update the Comprehensive Plan.
Annexation provides the opportunity to address the planning needs for
unincorporated Bull Mountain, areas 63 & 64, and the rest of the City.
■ Recommended approach:
■ With annexation, initiate the Comprehensive Plan update and include
unincorporated Bull Mountain.
■ Finalize an Intergovernmental Agreement between Tigard and Washington
County to transfer Comprehensive Plan authority for areas 63 & 64.
Section Four
Implementation of the Annexation Plan
• Recommended strategy for implementation:
The City of Tigard needs to commit to updating the Comprehensive Plan
as soon as possible. Recommend Council approve a work program for
updating the Comprehensive Plan by July 2005, including Bull Mountain
and areas 63 & 64 to begin implementation in 2005-06. The Plan update
should be through an open and public process.
• Annexation of unincorporated Bull Mountain provides the opportunity to
plan for the entire community with the update of Tigard's Comprehensive
y Plan. Areas 63 & 64 should also be included in this effort. An IGA
between Washington County and Tigard is necessary to transfer
comprehensive planning authority.
s Recommend Council pursue a public facility strategy/moratorium or other
a measures to slow or stop growth until the Comprehensive Plan is updated.
Tigard has appointed a review committee to look at the Planned
Development process which will consider density transfers. Once the
Planned Development Review Committee completes its review,
recommend the Planning Commission and City Council adopt interim
Revised 5/26/04 Page 5
steps to not allow density transfers for properties, including natural
resources.
The subcommittee recommends development and implementation of a
design review process, possibly including design standards, to assure
compatibility of new development with the unique characteristics of
existing neighborhoods. Time is of the essence and the implementation of
this process could be completed prior to, or in conjunction with, the
Comprehensive Plan update.
Consider the list of likes, dislikes, and the future that the committee
would like to see with development (Attachment A). This should be
considered in conjunction with the Comprehensive Plan update.
• Funding:
• Long range planning is funded through the general fund. City should
pursue grant funding for this effort. Funding separately should also be
considered for areas 63 & 64, including property owner participation.
Planning:
• The City of Tigard needs to commit to updating the Comprehensive Plan
as soon as possible. Recommend Council approve a work program for
updating the Comprehensive Plan by July 2005, including Bull Mountain
and areas 63 & 64 to begin implementation in 2005-06. The Plan update
should be through an open and public process.
• When property is developed, within areas 63 and 64, the property
owner/developer could be assessed a fee to offset the City's costs
associated with developing a Comprehensive Plan for those areas because
it directly benefits those areas. The City should be responsible for the cost
to update the Comprehensive Plan for City properties and urban,
unincorporated properties in Bull Mountain because these areas are mostly
developed.
Timing:
• Council to approve a work program for updating the Comprehensive Plan
by July 2005, including Bull Mountain and areas 63 & 64 to begin
implementation in 2005-06.
• Tigard City Council should pursue a public facility strategy/moratorium or
other measures to slow or stop growth until the Comprehensive Plan is
updated.
• Tigard has appointed a review committee to look at the Planned
Development process which will consider density transfers. The
committee will review and recommend changes to the Planned
Development section of the Community Development Code. Once the
Planned Development Review Committer, completes its review, the
Planning Commission and City Council should adopt interim steps to not
allow density transfers for properties, including natural resources.

Attachment A
Dislikes
As to Dislikes, it is apparent that the prospect of overdeveloping the Bull Mountain area goes
against the above qualities that the current residents strongly support. A common thread under
Dislikes seems to be the rising cost of land, housing and infrastructure (including roads, parks
and sewers). What the City of Tigard must do is reassure the present homeowners that what the
City can offer is substantially better that what the Bull Mountain residents have now or can
anticipate receiving in the near future.
Identity
• No sense of neighborhood
• Lack of master plan for development of area
• Lacks community feel - "no center," no character or identity
• Houses too close together
• Lack of neighborhood feel
• Lack of community planning
• Planning/Development
• Unsightly development
• Development: Increased services
• Development: Increasing prices
• Developers building high density homes on too small lots
• Some of the new developments are too homogenous - not enough design variety
• Residents may feel left out of the development process on Bull Mountain
• Lack of affordability in housing
• Developers cutting down too many trees and not being required to leave green spaces or
walking paths
• Over-widening of streets
• Do not stick to zoning - density transfer
• Lack of infrastructure (sewer, storm, quality roads)
• Lack of trees in new developments
• Over-widening of streets
Commercial
• Lack of commercial area
• Lack of commitment to area by County Government
• Commercial development right up to streets (require landscape barriers)
• No local conveniences - e.g., small market, bakery, coffee shop, small restaurant
Planning White Paper Page 2 of 6
Attachment A
Bull Mountain Planning Subcommittee
Attachment A
Parks
• None to date
• Price of land increasing
• No money for maintenance
• No close-in neighborhood amenities such as parks, walking paths, bike paths
• Street "parks" that are unusable public space
• Lack of parks and trails
• Location of parks
Traffic/Public Transit
• Increasing
• No connectivity
• Have to travel on congested Hwy. 99 to get anywhere. No freeway close, poor commute to
downtown Portland.
• Speeding through residential neighborhoods
• Lack of public transit
• Beef Bend Road and Bull Mountain Road can be dangerous for walkers and bicyclists. Need
more pedestrian-friendly areas.
• Lack of connectivity
• No nearby public transit
• Lack of connected street grids to relieve traffic burden
• Local roads becoming too crowded due to over-development
Planning White Paper Page 3 of 6
Attachment A
Bull Mountain Planning Subcommittee
Attachment A
Future
Planning
• Protection of existing views
• Home delivery of mail (not centralized boxes in a development)
• Underground utilities (esp. on Bull Mountain. Road)
• Incentives and disincentives for maintaining property
• Small commercial center on top of Bull Mountain
• Incentives not to subdivide
• Commercial area for local residences
• Coordinated planning
• Most undeveloped areas seem to have a limitless density potential. Can this be capped?
• No multi-family units (except perhaps by proposed commercial center on top of Bull
Mountain)
• No "forced" affordable housing
• A minimum of 20-foot setbacks between homes and lot lines (side of house)
• More continuity in types of housing (more master planned, less piecemeal development)
• Developers pay for the privilege to develop on Bull Mountain
• Home styles that follow the land contours and setting
• Increase setbacks from street to 30-40 feet
• Don't accept "adequate" - set a higher standard
• No lots in new developments less than 10,000 square feet
• Strengthen and direct development to existing communities
• Reduced density, especially on slopes
• Citizen involvement and approval of planned developments
• Preserve open space and critical environmental areas
• Foster distinctive communities with a strong sense of place
• More thoughtful development
• Reduce density
• MUA - Clusters of homes and shops
• Adaptation of Bull Mountain Community Plan
• Eliminate the one-size fits all approach to development - be responsive to existing
community/neighborhood
Greater variety in home styles in developments
• Transition between urban and rural areas with less density
• Mix of single and multi-story homes in a single development
• The entire community needs to come to a consensus on the distribution of density including
Areas 63 and 64.
• Concerning the special character of Bull Mountain, recent and current developments in the
BM area appear to ignore the basic characteristics of the established homes. More thought
needs to be given to future developments to avoid continuing this trend away from the
original openness of the mountain.
Planning White Paper Page 4 of 6
Attachment A
Bull Mountain Planning Subcommittee
Attachment A
• Prohibit density transfers.
• Establish a Design Review Board for all development (residential, commercial, and
industrial).
• Have all developments be subject to the public hearing process
• Concerning lack of commercial development - whereas there are no commercial facilities on
Bull Mountain, area residents need to come to a consensus on how much land should be
dedicated for the possible addition of any businesses in the future.
• Concerning citizen awareness - to maintain the desirable character of the Bull Mountain area,
significant involvement of the current residents is needed in future planning.
Parks
• Tree planting requirements
• Stricter penalties for cutting trees. Make developers pay fines.
• More off-road bicycle and pedestrian paths
• Green space between dense housing areas
• Low density housing
• Protection of natural spaces and resources
• Create walkable communities
• Provide parks and trails
• Require parks and walking pathways (away from streets).
Traffic
• Traffic calming structures
• Make developers pay for more street improvements and provide green space and trees.
• Provide traffic calming for existing streets
• Narrower roads with planting strips (through residential neighborhoods)
• No speed bumps
• Privatize roads where possible (e.g. cul-de-sacs)
• Less of a focus on connectivity of streets, especially in neighborhoods.
• Increase in TIFs and SDCs to reflect actual cost to community
• Green Streets (see Metro handbooks) applied to ail new developments and Bull Mountain
and Beef Bend Roads
• Give back street space to property owners with reduction in road width
• Transportation facilities need to keep pace with development. Minimal service standards
should be maintained.
• Design roadways to meet needs and not be overly wide (keep the land in the property owner's
yard).
Miscellaneous
• Encourage community and stakeholder collaboration
• Push back on Metro
Planning White Paper
Attachment A Page 5 of 6
Bull Mountain Planning Subcommittee
Attachment A
• Regular five-year reviews of Bull Mountain comprehensive plan
• Design review of developments
• Police: County will lose four officers As population grows, more needed. Will City of
Tigard get the ones laid off from Washington County?
• Have residents (both Tigard and Bull Mountain) involved in the Comp Plan update.
• Include the new areas inside the UGB (#63 and #64) in the Comp Plan update.
• Have the Comp Plan recognize the unique quality of Bull Mountain (specifically the
topography).
Additional Comments
• I don't think this pattern of soliciting information is very effective because it goes from

toward the planning process.
• I would find it helpful to have the subcommittee consider selecting one of the more pertinent
"Likes" or "Dislikes" from the list and devoting one session to searching for a consensus
which might indicate a possible productive outcome ("Solution").

Police Services Subcommittee
White Paper
Section 1- Summary of Public Involvement and Discussion
The purpose of the Police Services Subcommittee is to provide additional time for public
discussion and review of key benefits of the Bull Mountain Annexation Plan.
The objectives of the task force are:
• Develop an approach for transition of key urban services that occurs through
annexation
• Provide additional opportunity for public involvement and discussion
• Develop a strategy for implementation of the Annexation Plan, e.g. funding,
planning, etc.

Summary of issues and findings:
Comparison of cost and services provided by the Washington County
Sheriff s Office (WCSO) and the Tigard Police Department was done.
WCSO is the larger provider of police services, providing the same patrol and
emergency response services as Tigard. WCSO is the county-wide service
provider and/or coordinator for joint task forces. In this respect, they have a
greater number of officers and specialty teams, and are spread over a very
large service area. The comparison showed that both agencies deliver
comparable services at comparable costs.
■ Tigard participates in most of the county-wide teams that are managed by the
Sheriffs Office, thereby enjoying a higher level of expertise available for
Tigard citizens.
N There are some services such as jail, prisoner transport, civil process, and
forensic services which are unique to the Sheriff's Office and are provided to
all citizens of Washington County regardless of incorporation status.

municipal level of patrol service at a level that is closer to that provided by
cities. The residents who receive ESPD services are taxed directly for this
enhanced service level, making the service and tax revenue source very
identifiable. Unincorporated Bull Mountain residents would cease paying

Because all County residents (city residents and unincorporated residents),

pay the same tax rate for Sheriff s services, it is the subcommittee
recommendation that the county identify which county property tax funds
are providing county-wide services versus those that provide services to
the unincorporated area (see above plan for addressing this issue).
By clarifying where funds are applied, the Sheriff would be able to
appropriately budget for the three areas of service identified above.
Finally, it was recognized that the Sheriffs Office must continue to
receive those county-wide revenues in order to maintain the long
established servic e levels agreed upon by the County and cities in a mid-
1980s urban servie astu approved by the Board of Commissioners in 198'7.

The planning for this concept has already been conducted by the Tigard Police
Department, and can be implemented on demand. The timing is such that there is
nearly 8 months from the time of the annexation vote, until the City would
assume responsibility for delivering law enforcement responses. This is only
marginally longer than the 6 months it takes to hire and train the new staff, so
while it would require prompt action on the part of the City, there is adequate time
to allow for a smooth and seamless transition. In the event of hiring delays, the
Chief and the Sheriff will work cooperatively to assure the maintenance of police
services.

Summary of issues raised and findings:
Street Improvement Capital Project costs over the long term in the Annexation Area
■ Collector street improvements needed over the long term (6 to 20 years) in the
Bull Mountain annexation area are estimated at $19,380,000. This represents
about 6.4% of approximately $300 million in long-term capital project needs
(during the next 20 or more years) in the City of Tigard. Some of the capital needs
in the City are for high-cost overpasses and connectors that would eventually be
constructed over the long term. The improvements needed in the annexation area
are for widening of existing collectors, which most likely would be constructed
earlier than those longer-term improvements.
■ Local streets and neighborhood routes could be improved to ultimate width with
sidewalks, underground drainage, and street lights through formation of Local

Improvement Districts (LIDs). The cost of these improvements would be assessed
to the benefited properties. The formation of these districts to perform these
improvements would be subject to approval by the benefited property owners.
Status of non-remonstrance agreements required of developers by Washington County
■ Non-remonstrance Agreements signed by residents in the annexation area are for
the formation of Maintenance Local Improvement Districts (MLIDs). These
MLIDs are not to be used for street improvements, but were implemented as a

The City of Tigard does not use MLIDs, does not obtain them from developers,
and has no use for these agreements after annexation.
What revenue would be transferred to Tigard from the Urban Road Maintenance District
(URMD) and Road Fund at the time of annexation?
■ No revenue would be transferred to Tigard from URMD funds or Road Fund at
time of annexation. Collections from the residents in the annexed area for the
URMD would cease upon annexation.
What improvements are planned by Washington County prior to the effective date of
annexation (July 1, 2005)?

Except for Beef Bend Road and Barrows Road, all the streets in the annexation
area will be transferred from County to City jurisdiction. This includes Bull
Mountain Road, Roshak Road, and 150`x' Avenue. Beef Bend Road (County
arterial) and Barrows Road will remain under County jurisdiction.
Approximately half of the streets (local streets and neighborhood routes) in the
annexation area would transfer automatically. The remainder, which include local
streets, neighborhood routes and collectors, are identified by County Road
Number and would have to be transferred by separate action. The process is for
the City to request and the County Board of Commissioners to agree by formal
action to the transfer of those County Roads.
Washington County and the City already have an Urban Service Agreement dated
November 26, 2002 that provides the basis for transfer of jurisdiction for streets.
Washington County will ensure prior to transfer that all streets to be transferred
have a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of greater than 40, and that the average
PCI of all the streets is 75 or greater. The current PCI average of all the streets in
the annexation area is 81. The streets in the annexation area are generally in good
to excellent condition.
The transfer of the streets in the annexation area will be executed at no additional
cost to the residents in the annexation area.
Bull Mountain Road is a collector street that connects Highway 99W with Roy
Rogers Road (a County arterial). 150'' Avenue is also a collector street that*
provides a direct connection between Beef Bend Road (a County arterial) and
Bull Mountain Road. Both these streets accommodate regional traffic and would
most likely need to be widened during the next 5 to 10 years. A commitment from
the County Board of Commissioners to recognize improvements to those streets
as high priority would enhance the chances of those projects receiving strong
consideration for funding in a future MSTIP or other funding opportunities.
• What happens to maintenance on those streets that do not transfer immediately upon
annexation? Would there be a period where no maintenance is performed until the streets
are officially transferred?
■ The URND collections from the annexed area cease upon annexation. The
County would not perform maintenance once the funding is no longer available.
The City would not have jurisdiction over the streets until transfer occurs. Until
the transfer occurs, there would most likely be a period during which no
maintenance is performed on the streets.
One way to avoid a period of no maintenance is to initiate transfer prior to the
effective date of annexation and have the transfer effective on the annexation
date. A 6 or 7-month period should be sufficient time to initiate and complete the
process. Should the jurisdictional transfer process take much longer than
expected, the City and County could execute an Intergovernmental Agreement
(IGA) for the City to perform street maintenance on those streets from the
effective date of annexation until jurisdictional transfer occurs. This assumes that

the streets are at the level of compliance indicated in the Urban Service
Agreement.
Section 2 - Summary of Key Impacts of Annexation on Bull Mountain residents and
Tigard Residents
Summary of Costs (street maintenance, street lights, and capital improvements):
• The City funds street maintenance through gas tax revenue and through the newly
established Street Maintenance Fee. The Street Maintenance Fee revenues would be used
strictly for reconstruction, pavement overlays and slurry seals on existing streets. This fee
is collected through the City's utility billing.The County funds street maintenance
through URMD collections for all urban streets below major collector status. The URMD
assessments appear on the property tax bill and are collected with the property taxes.
Collector and arterial street maintenance are funded through the Road Fund, which is
primarily the gas tax.
• The City pays for street light energy and maintenance through the gas tax revenues. The
County creates Street Light Districts and charges the residents in the district for the
installation, maintenance and energy costs of the street lights in each district. Like:the
URMD assessments, the street light charges appear on and are collected through'.tfie!
property tax bills.
• The City currently funds its major street improvement projects through the Traffic Impact
Fee (TIF) revenues. The County also uses the TIF revenues, gas tax revenues and the
Major Streets Transportation Improvement Program for street improvements.
Annual Costs
The cost comparisons are as follows:
Street Maintenance
■ - City of Tigard Street Maintenance Fee: $2.18 per month per dwelling unit = $26.16
per year
■ Washington County UR V D charges: $61.40 per year (based on $0.25 per $1,000 of
assessed value using a $250,000 house)
Net reduction in cost upon annexation: $61.40 - $26.16 = $35.24 per dwelling unit per
year
Street Lights
■ City of Tigard Street Lights: Absorbed in the City's Operating Budget. City assumes
responsibility for energy and maintenance costs and residents do not pay charges
directly.
Bull Mountain Annexation Streets Subcommittee
White Paper
Page 4 of 10
■ Washington county forms Street Light Districts and assesses charges to cover the
long-term maintenance and energy costs for the street lights: $35.00 per year average
charge.
■ Street Light Districts in the annexed area would be terminated and the street lights
would become part of the City's street light system.
Net reduction in cost upon annexation: $35 per dwelling unit per year
Capital Project Costs (Streets only)
• Total Street Improvement Costs (based on improvements to County collectors that are not
yet built to ultimate width): $19,380,000
■ Bull Mountain Road Only: $8,050,000
■ 150'h Avenue Only: $3,425,000
Analysis of Annexation Impacts (Pros and Cons):
The following are the pros and cons of annexation from five different perspectives: Annexation
Area Residents, City of Tigard Residents, City of Tigard, Washington County, Oregon

Execute street transfers for those streets that need separate action to allow an effective
transfer date of July 1, 2005
Obtain a commitment from the Washington County Board that Bull Mountain Road and
150' Avenue would be considered as high priority projects for MSTIP 4, or other
funding opportunities
Ensure adequate time for the City to acquire necessary manpower and equipment to
perform routine maintenance on transferred streets. The 6-month period January through
June 2005 should be sufficient time for recruitment and equipment purchase.
Section 4 - Implementation of the Annexation Plan
The current plan for annexation calls for a vote in November (Citywide and Bull Mountain
Annexation Area) of 2004. The effective date of annexation would be July 1, 2005. Streets that
would transfer automatically upon annexation would become the City's responsibility on that
date. Streets that need to be transferred by separate action should be transferred at the same time
to avoid any lag in service. If the annexation vote succeeds, the seven-month time period from
December 2004 through June 2005 will allow the City to mobilize whatever resources it needs to
begin street maintenance in the annexation area on July 1, 2005. This time period should also be
sufficient for the transfer process to occur with an effective transfer date of July 1, 2005..
Additional personnel will need to be hired (at least two utility workers) and one or possi&:ly two
additional utility trucks would have to be purchased. The maintenance and control of traffic
control devices could be assumed immediately upon annexation. Neighborhood traffic
management would likewise be assumed upon annexation.
Recommended Strategy for Implementation:
Funding
• Begin gas tax collection for the annexation area effective July 1, 2005
• Begin Street Maintenance Fee billing effective July 1, 2005
• Include as part of the Supplemental Budget (which would be necessary to address the
annexation) funding to hire additional street maintenance personnel and equipment
needed to provide routine maintenance on the streets transferred
• Request and obtain commitment from Washington County Board of Commissioners to
consider Bull Mountain Road and 150°i Avenue Improvements as high priority projects
for incorporation in future MSTIP or other funding opportunities
Planning
Identify any streets that need preventative or corrective maintenance prior to transfer,
ensure that they are included in the County 's list for resurfacing, and that they are
brought up to standard prior to transfer to the City
Mobilization during the seven-month period from December 2004 through June 2005 to
have resources available by July 1, 2005. This includes approval of a Supplemental
Budget to provide the funding necessary for these resources.

• Incorporate the streets transferred into the City's Capital Improvement Program
formulation process for any future improvement needs
• Provide notice well in advance of the effective date to all residents in the Annexation
Area that the City is assuming responsibility for the streets and street maintenance
• Prepare for the transition of services from Washington County to the City
• Identify and prepare for the transfer of the street lights that need to be absorbed into the
City's street light system
liming
• Accept the streets that automatically transfer on July 1, 2005
• Begin and complete the process of identifying and describing the streets for transfer by
separate action at least 6 or 7 months prior to annexation. Have the approval process
completed prior to annexation with an effective transfer date of July 1, 2005, same as the
other streets.
• Execute a Supplemental Budget to provide the resources for street maintenance no later
than the end of March 2005
• Obtain a commitment in writing (possibly through resolution or Intergovernmental
Agreement) from the County prior to the annexation date to elevate Bull Mountaiii.Road
and 150th Avenue to high priority for future funding
• Ensure all streets are brought up to the standards described in the Urban Service
Agreement prior to transfer dates
• Dispense with the Y1IDs executed in the annexation area upon annexation
• Begin planning for improvements to Bull Mountain Road and 150 Avenue shortly after
annexation to ensure that they would be in contention for any available funding through
Federal, State, County or City sources

ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Draft #2 of Park and Recreation Needs Assessment Survey
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Council review new draft survey and give direction to staff to proceed with the interviews.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
In an effort to identify the park & recreational needs of Tigard residents, a park and recreation needs assessment
survey has been formulated. Approximately 380 randomly selected Tigard residents will be asked to participate
in a 10-12 minute phone survey. The survey is designed to ascertain Tigard residents' interest in, and
willingness to pay for: recreation programs and facilities, e.g. skate park/community recreation center, create a
city Recreation Division or create a Special Recreation District, similar to the Tualatin Hills Park and
Recreation District in Beaverton, and purchase land for parks/sports fields, and for purchasing natural resources
such as wetlands and green spaces. The survey will be conducted by Public Affairs Counsel (PAC). They use a
methodology that provides scientifically valid data accurate to 5.0%. Phone surveys will be conducted
during the evenings, weekdays, and weekends. The results of the survey will not only assist the City in
identifying and pursuing conceptual ideas, but also to decide what should be done and when. The Council
reviewed a first draft of the survey on May 25 and asked that a 2nd draft be prepared and presented at another
council work shop. The Park and Recreation Advisory Board will have reviewed the second draft and will
make their recommendation to Council via e-mail during the week of June 7.

ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Update
PREPARED onPWeed Harvesting at Summer Lake.
BY: Dan Plaza. 2590 ~ DEPT HEAD OK L~ CITY MGR OK
ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
Management issues at Summer Lake.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
No action required.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
Management of Summer Lake has been a complicated issue. Weed harvesting has historically been done to control
the growth of aquatic weeds in Summer Lake. There are several ways to control aquatic weeds, for example,
chemical, biological, and mechanical. The city of Tigard has historically chosen to utilize the mechanical method of
weed removal. Mechanical weed harvesting consists of a floating, cutting harvester that "mows" the lake in a back
and forth pattern (much like mowing a lawn). The first recorded weed harvesting at Summer Lake was done in
July, 1998 when two harvests were completed. In 1999, three harvests were done, and one harvest was done each
year from 2000-2003. It became apparent that our schedule of weed harvesting could be less frequent and not have
a negative effect on weed management. We also received complaints the mechanical harvest method was
detrimental to wildlife in the lake. In current FY '03-'04 the annual weed harvest was removed from the budget as a
cost saving measure. The harvest for this year would have taken place in June, 2004. Because of cost and
environmental damage, it was decided by staff to postpone the next weed harvest until 2005. It should be noted that
public opinion on weed harvesting ranges from, "do it often" to "don't do it at all". Due to the fact that the current
Council has not been fully briefed on Summer Lake management issues, such as weed harvesting, staff has
arranged a presentation on June 15.

ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL
This item is an information update for Council. This presentation will give Council a preview of the project scope,
action items that will be presented for Council or LCRB action during the next several months, and the tentative
timeline.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
No action necessary. This is an information update only.
INFORMATION SUMMARY
The City of Tigard built the current facility located at 13125 SW Hall Boulevard, Tigard, Oregon in 1986,
expecting it to accommodate the City's Library needs for 10 years. In the years since 1986, Tigard's population
has increased over 80 percent, while the Library's circulation has increased well over 331 percent. Since
expanding the present building wasn't feasible to meet the Library's needs for the next 20 years, the citizens of
Tigard approved a bond measure to construct a new Library at another site. The new Library is planned to be open
to the public by mid-August, 2004. This decision also provided critically needed additional space for City
administrative services.
As part of the bond measure process, the City assured citizens that the existing Library and City Hall buildings
would be remodeled to accommodate the programming needs of the administrative departments of the City for the
next 10 years.
The City has developed a staff team, referred to as the `DUST Committee' to review efficient and cost effective
space use options, coordinate the relocation of City staff into the remodeled buildings and provide
recommendations regarding these activities to the City Manager. The City Manager has provided final approval
and direction for space remodel based on the detailed space design and remodel construction plans by LRS
Architects this year.
The DUST Committee has based its recommendations on the following goals:
.FJ Better serve our customers (internal and external);
,rJ Maximize space utilization;
SJ Create efficient work environments; and
SJ Provide appropriate customer confidentiality.
Council will see information at the meeting which will better define the space use and remodel emphasis for the
Permit Center (old Library) and City Hall.
OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED
Staff and program impacts were reviewed over the last year along with anticipated fiscal projections and increased
service area impacts which include future annexations. With that information in place, there doesn't appear to be
other viable alternatives at this time.
VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY
The vision identifies "adequate facilities are available for efficient delivery of life-long learning and programs and
services for all ages." That goal identified by Tigard's citizens resulted in the construction of a new library. At the
time the new library bond was passed by Tigard voters, the City made the commitment that the existing Library and
City Hall buildings would be remodeled to accommodate the programming needs of the administrative departments
of the City for the next 10 years.
ATT LC ENT LIST
N/A
FISCAL NOTES
Funds are budgeted in the 2004-05 FY budget. A breakdown of the expenditure plan will be distributed to the
Council at the time of discussion on 6/15/04.
Limited funding is available for building improvements thus options are cost effective with limited new walls in the
buildings (though the existing Library will need more than City Hall in order for it to be usable as staff space rather
than library space). The DUST Committee refers to the building improvements as being "bare bones
improvements" while meeting the Committee's goals.

SUMMARY OF EXISTING NATUTAL RESOURCE REGULATIONS
The City of Tigard and Clean Water Services (CWS) have existing regulations for
natural resource areas. There are existing regulations for floodplain, wetlands, streams,
wetland buffers and stream buffers. Below is a brief discussion of the existing
regulations. In some instances, Tigard's standards are stricter, in other instances, the
CWS standards are more stringent. The summary below provides the more restrictive
standard to provide a quick look at what the regulations are for each resource category.
Floodplains
Limited development allowed in commercial and industrial zones with no net increase in
flood level. Floor elevation must be 1' above the floodplain measured from the bottom
of the floor beam. No development is allowed in residential zones.
Wetlands
No development is permitted in locally significant wetlands without an ESEE analysis and comprehensive plan amendment.
Stream Buffers
Tigard's standards are a 75' buffer from the Tualatin River, 50' along Fanno, Ball and o
Ash Creeks and 25' along Summer, North Ash, Red Rock and Derry Dell Creeks. The -o
CWS buffers vary from 50-200' for streams with year round flow depending on the slope o
adjacent to the stream. The CWS standards also provide buffers of 15'-50' depending
on the number of acres draining into the stream and the slope adjacent to the stream.
Each site is evaluated and the stricter standards are applied. Within the buffer, no 0
structures, development, gardens or lawns are permitted, however, small scale
averaging of the buffer is permitted.
c
Wetland Buffers W
Minimum buffer of 25 feet from wetland edge unless all or part of the wetland is located
within the stream corridor. In that case, the stream corridor width is measured from the
wetland edge. CWS requires a 50' buffer for wetlands greater than .5 acres. CWS
requires buffers from all existing and created wetlands, not just locally significant
wetlands.

Steep slopes
In addition to the riparian resources described above, the sensitive lands review section
of the development code regulates steep slopes. For the most part, development is not
prohibited on steep slopes as long as a geotechnical engineer certifies that the land
form alteration will not result in erosion, stream sedimentation, ground instability, or
other adverse on-site or off-site effects or hazards to life or property. Steep slope areas
are not included in the density calculations, however up to 25% of the density that would
otherwise be permitted on the steep slopes may be transferred to the remaining
buildable area.

• The buildable land identified in Tualatin Basin limit designated areas represents
roughly half of the buildable land in Tigard and the Urban Services area.
The majority of the buildable land is within upland wildlife habitat areas
The land identified as buildable has already deducted areas of existing regulation
so there is no overlap in this category between the existing and potentially
regulated buildable land.
