He said their concern is the lack of parks and open spaces. As a teacher he used open spaces as outdoor classrooms and feels that many people enjoy hiking, bird watching and observing wildlife. He is frustrated to see so many open areas disappearing due to development. Mayor Dirksen said the City of Tigard shares his concern and would like for the City to have more local control over items such as density. He said this Council is looking for properties not only inside but outside of the Tigard city limits for future open spaces and parks. Councilor Wilson said he was disappointed in a recent public opinion poll that indicated people were not interested in spending much for parks. He suggested that Mr. George and others talk it up among their neighbors. He would like a bond measure for parks. Follow-up to Previous Citizen Communication: No action. None 3.

Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u (Note Items were not discussed in order at the January 24, 2006 Council Meeting.) 7. Consider Parks Manager Dan Plaza reported that the latest Motion by Councilor Tualatin River information on the Tualatin River Bicycle and Sherwood, seconded by Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge shows costs are up $1.5 million. Councilor Wilson, to Pedestrian Tigard's share is $592,578. The City of Tualatin's approve additional funds Bridge Funding share is $412,228, and Durham's share is $25,764. needed for the bridge, and Clean Water Services has committed to spend for confirmation of this $600,000 and will pay for all of the cost of running approval to be conveyed by pipes under the bridge. Metro will not be letter to the City of participating in this project. Tualatin. Tualatin approved an Intergovernmental Agreement After discussion, Councilor at their City Council meeting last week and Durham Nilson amended the motion just approved it tonight. ODOT would like the City to state that Tigard's share of Tigard to commit to their portion by January 31, of the project is now 2006. Staff will also be preparing a budget $592,578 and a budget amendment for Council to approve the additional amendment will be cost. considered by the City Council on February 14, Parks Manager Dan Plaza went over the reasons for 2006. the higher project cost. The original project was going to be built of wood but the National Marine The motion was approved Fisheries Commission had concerns about the wood by a unanimous vote of preservative being harmful to fish in the river. The Council bridge is now designed of steel and concrete. The present. ADA requirements for the ramps have added costs Mayor Dirksen Yes and the square footage is 20% higher. They had Councilor Harding Yes planned to use a crane to lift it into place but there are Councilor Sherwood Yes only two cranes in Oregon big enough and this is not Councilor Wilson Yes a priority project for them. Now we have to build a work bridge at water level that will need to be torn down when the project bridge is completed. Steel costs have risen. Another issue is that there are currently 30 bridge projects ready to be bid in Portland. The design complexity of the 380' span and necessary environmental permitting also raise the cost. Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes Page 5 January 24, 2006 Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u The project goes to bid on February 2 with a bid opening on February 23 d. Construction will occur from April-December, 2006, with projected opening in January 2007. Metro Councilor Carl Hosticka noted that Metro was never asked to participate in any formal fashion. There are potential opportunities for grant monies but probably not anything that can come to fruition in the next few weeks. Councilor Hosticka asked that staff contact him and said he will consider any grant request submitted. In response to a concern from City Councilor Wilson about learning of the cost overrun at this time, Tualatin Community Development Director Hennon, Tualatin City Manager Wheeler and Tigard Parks Manager Plaza outlined the circumstances of the cost increases. There was discussion about where the additional funds would come from: $200,000 would come from the MSTIP and the balance from park SDC's. In response to a question from Councilor Sherwood about whether this would affect the Greenburg Road project, Mayor Dirksen said he understands that these projects are funded from separate sources. During discussion, City Council members expressed support for going forward with the project. Any money left over will be refunded to the City. 8. Metro Metro President David Bragdon and Metro Councilor Presentation - Carl Hosticka gave a presentation on their proposed Proposed Nov. bond measure for the November 2006 ballot which 2006 Bond will provide funding to purchase natural areas in the Measure to region for parks and open spaces. They are going to Preserve the various city councils in the area to let them know Natural Areas, what they are doing and to hear any concerns the Improve Water cities may have. They have scheduled public hearings Quality, and to obtain input. President Bragdon felt that the need Protect Fish for this measure was supported tonight by the items and Wildlife listed on the Council's agenda and the comments Habitat made during citizen communication. Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes Page 6 January 24, 2006 Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u Metro's 1995 Bond Measure helped Tigard by adding 8 acres to Cook Park, 2 acres along Fern Street and trail construction and right-of-way on the Fanno Creek Greenway. This new measure will help them continue targeting regional natural areas by acquisition, improvements and making opportunity grants available to "re-nature" neighborhoods. Tigard's share would be about $1.3 million. The Fanno Creek Greenway and Tualatin River Greenway are included among the areas targeted by a blue ribbon committee. Councilor Harding expressed concern about the lack of open space within the urban growth boundary. Citizens are asking for help in getting more greenspaces and stopping development's encroachment. In response to Councilor Harding's concern about the high cost of property, Metro Councilor Hosticka said local efforts could be helped by using matching funds. He noted that the corridors are within the Urban Growth Boundary. Councilor Harding asked if Metro could take away some of the density requirements to help our citizens. Councilor Wilson said he appreciated being asked for input in advance. He thought the measure would be popular with people but noted that Metro's map shows some areas that are "pretty far flung" and not very accessible to people. He said those areas are attractive but he hears all the time that people want to be close to natural areas. Each development brings out angry neighbors who want more parks and open space. He asked if more areas could be added inside the Urban Growth Boundary because they contribute to how people live. Mayor Dirksen suggested adjusting the balance back towards the neighborhoods. He felt an important criterion for land selection is that the areas be close to people. He said that Metro, by choosing to run this regional bond measure, may be precluding Tigard's own bond measure to help ourselves. He asked if Mr. Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes Page 7 January 24, 2006 Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u Bragdon and Mr. Hosticka could stay because later in the meeting there would be a discussion on a list prepared by the Tigard Parks and Recreation Board of properties they want Metro to consider putting in their bond measure. Mr. Hosticka said we can acquire greenway properties with regional funds. Mayor Dirksen will forward the list to him. 9. Parks Manager Dan Plaza described the process used Motion by Councilor Consider a by the Parks and Recreation Board to identify Sherwood, seconded by Resolution potential greenways, passive and active parks to be Councilor Wilson to approve Approving the included in Metro's bond measure.

Mayor Dirksen reported that Mayor Dirksen Yes VAR2005- he had viewed the property from North Dakota Councilor Harding No 00055 &56) Street. He asked if they were familiar with the Councilor Sherwood Yes Council packet materials. He then asked if there Councilor Wilson Yes were any challenges from the audience. There were none. He stated the order of testimony: (1) applicant, (2) those opposed, and then (3) applicant rebuttal. The hearing focus is narrow - Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes Page 8 January 24, 2006 Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u is there access across the railroad tracks for the secondary access? Dick Bewersdorff (City of Tigard Planning) stated that the secondary access is not a requirement of the project. Mayor Dirksen said it was unusual, bordering on unique, for the City Council to review a hearings officer decision and that no one should assume they will reopen future developments. He reminded everyone present that the testimony is limited to one issue. No other testimony will be allowed. Public Testimony: • Bob Van Brocklin, 900 SW Fifth, Suite 2600, Portland, OR. 97204 (representing the Applicant). Mr. Van Brocklin requested that the City of Tigard decline to exercise to review and allow the hearings officer decision to stand. He said this case went before a hearings officer who is an experienced land-use attorney and who, after considering all the evidence, approved it. Mr. Van Brocklin said there is considerable evidence to conclude that a 1965 Bargain & Sale Deed granted public right to cross the railroad property. He said the issue was raised a few weeks ago by John Frewing but Mr. Frewing provided no new evidence. He said that practical interpretation of aerial photographs shows 60 years of easement in use, since at least 1936. Practical evidence is historical use. The county's own tax map shows this easement. There exists an underpass that is designed to get people from one side of the tracks to the other. In building a trestle the railroad acknowledges that there is access. The railroad has not objected to this easement. They are not here tonight and they have not objected in the course of the hearings. He requested that his letter of January 26, 2006 be Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes Page 9 January 24, 2006 Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u placed into the record. • Matt Sprague, 9020 SW Washington Square Drive, Tigard, Oregon 97223 (representing the Applicant) Mr. Sprague displayed maps and photos of the property in question. He showed a tax lot map showing a dotted line and the word "easement". He had a photograph from 1936 showing a raised grade. A July, 1953 photograph showed a raised grade but no trestle yet. In 1968, the aerial photograph showed Cascade Boulevard and the trestle in place. In a 1977 aerial photo there is access to Cascade Boulevard as well as in a 1983 photograph. He brought in an enlarged copy of page 615 of the Bargain & Sale Deed. • Sue Beilke, 11755 SW 114t", Tigard, OR 97223 Ms. Beilke said she wanted the Council to review this matter because the Council is representing the people of Tigard and should protect the public health, safety and general welfare. She cited Section 18.705 of the Community Development Code - Access, Egress and Circulation. Attorney Ramis reminded her that the focus of this hearing is limited and she cannot address other issues. She then stated that the Friends of Summer Creek agrees with Mr. Frewing that there is not an easement. She also noted that the words, "Condominium Project" were shown on the agenda; this is an old project title. • John Frewing, 7110 SW Lola Lane, Tigard, OR 97223 Mr. Frewing stated that two weeks ago he asked the Council to review this application. He said he has visited the property and there is a ditch at the trestle now. He said the applicants are required to show an easement Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes Page 10 January 24, 2006 Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u and they have not. He read the property descriptions of Parcel #1 and Parcel #2 on the 1965 Sale Deed while pointing to the drawing supplied by the applicant. He indicated where the property lines are in reference to the bridge and thinks there is no evidence that there is an easement through the railroad bridge. He said that deleting this access changes the application substantially. He asserted the proposed development application should be thrown out and started over. He checked on why the railroad isn't here tonight and wasn't here before. The City of Tigard sent out a notice to affected property owners listed on the Washington County tax rolls. The railroad is not on this list because they are taxed by the state, not the county. He said representatives from the railroad have not addressed this matter and that there is no easement. Mr. Frewing feels the application should be denied. • Gretchen Buehner, 13249 SW 136`" Place, Tigard, OR 97223 Ms. Buehner advised that she has researched old maps and deeds and finds that easements are not always labeled as such. They are sometimes referred to as private driveways. An easement cannot be terminated without agreement among all involved parties. Applicant Rebuttal • Matt Sprague asked that the Council to avoid getting bogged down in legal descriptions. The two parcels can use the easement. In 1907 the property was sold to the railroad and at that time an easement was reserved for the property. A railroad overpass was installed to provide access. The property owners didn't install the overpass, the railroad did. • Greg Corbin, 900 SW Fifth, Suite 2600, Portland, OR 97204 Tigard City Council Meeting Minutes Page 11 January 24, 2006 Agenda Item Discussion & Comments Action Items follow u Mr. Corbin said there isn't anything new in the record. The survey map was presented at an earlier meeting. He said the Council is being asked to hear the same argument a second time. He said could not follow Mr. Frewing's description and said it would be difficult for anyone to follow. As to whether or not the deed recognizes an easement, the easement need not be in the parcels that are being conveyed. The easement may be in another location. The documents could be written more clearly. The fact that the deed describes two different properties is irrelevant. The property being conveyed has rights. The railroad has been contacted by the City and the fact that the railroad has made no comment does not mean that there is no easement. Council Discussion Councilor Harding said it would be nice if the railroad were represented at this meeting. There is no new evidence but there is still a question in her mind. The fact that the railroad is not here doesn't prove the existence of an easement. Mr. Corbin said all of this evidence was before the Hearings Officer when he made his decision. The evidence was substantial enough for him to make that decision. Mr. Sprague said the trestle is indicative that there is an easement in that location.

Residents, government professionals, business people, and community group leaders volunteered to work together to determine the community's future direction. Adopting the name "Tigard Beyond Tomorrow," they established a process that defined a vision for our community and identified resources for implementing that vision. 9 During 2005 and each year since 1996, the citizen-based Action Committees have reviewed and updated the strategies and action plans to accomplish the goals of "Tigard Beyond Tomorrow." While City Council has received periodic presentations and information about some of the progress on the community's vision achievements, this meeting time is set aside to review the highlights of the 2005 achievements in all target areas and identify the activity focus for 2006. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED N/A COUNCIL GOALS AND TIGARD BEYOND TOMORROW VISION STATEMENT The Vision Task Force and Action Committees are citizen-based groups that are volunteering their time to focus on the future of our community.

The Mall itself is designated a `significant site' in Oregon b Homeland Security. 11 Public Safety - continued GOAL STRATEGY PLANNED ACTIONS PROGRESS DETAILS 1, 2, & 5 YEARS TVF&R has purchased and installed 84 Stovetop Fire Stop automatic fire extinguishers in kitchens at Greenburg Oaks, an at- risk apartment community, in a three year pilot program. This is a fire safety partnership between TVF&R and Community Partners for Affordable Housing, which operates Greenburg Oaks. The program will study the effectiveness of these 12-ounce extinguishers. They are about the size of a large tuna can and are designed to automatically deploy a small extinguishing agent to put out stove-top fires, the number one cause of residential fires in our Fire District. Focus for 2006 ❑ The above mentioned partnerships are relatively new and they will be on-going for the foreseeable future. The focus will be to make adjustments where needed to provide better service or accountability. Fire Safety education will be effectively promoted ➢ Education will be targeted to the residential and business Accomplishments in 2005 within the community. communities.

The existing fire safety house had reached the end of its useful life span. The new house will have fire safety, calling 9-1.1, earthquake safety, and weather safety capability. The house will be marketed to public schools in the Fire District, as well as used at public events, safety fairs, fire incident follow-up at apartment complexes, and other venues. 9 Has received a federal grant to research why tenants are disabling smoke alarms in rental properties. The research showed that landlords are pivotal in educating tenants on why they need working smoke alarms and much more effective in enforcing smoke alarm provisions in the leases than fire district personnel are in simple educational efforts. 0 As a result, TVF&R has instituted an aggressive Landlord Training program targeting at-risk apartments, but keeping it open to all landlords who express interest. To date, we have conducted two training sessions with nearly 100 landlords taking part. The goal is to conduct up to four sessions per year providing landlords with education and resources of how to keep their properties safe from fire. By invitation, TVF&R personnel have shared this program concept with Washington state fire districts, as well as national fire & life safety organizations. 12 Public Safety - continued GOAL STRATEGY PLANNED ACTIONS PROGRESS DETAILS 1, 2, & 5 YEARS El A secondary element of the grant was a multi-lingual, direct mail, billboard/bus board, and radio campaign to the tenants of our at- risk apartment communities. The direct mail pieces and the posters and materials used here and in the landlord training program use pictorials to reach non- or limited-English tenants. These materials are also useful in all facets of multi-lingual fire safety efforts. TVF&R Low Priority Business Self Inspection Program 9 The TVF&R Business Self Inspection program was determined to be less effective than hoped. It was instituted district-wide during a time of rapidly increasing numbers of businesses with a constant number of fire inspectors. The concept was spreading around the nation for low risk occupancies, such as barber shops, real estate offices, etc. Based on the low number of responses, the follow-up made on those who did respond, and the amount of time to administer the program, it wasn't deemed an effective use of resources. It has been discontinued. El The Fire Prevention Inspectors focus their efforts on higher risk occupancies--essentially any place that attracts or contains larger numbers of people, such as restaurants, theaters, schools, retailers, and, of course, the higher risk manufacturing and hazardous materials facilities. 8) Reduce fear of crime through graffiti removal. ➢ Assign staff to address graffiti problem.

Although TRK now contracts with Barbara to produce our newsletter every quarter as a professional graphic artist and talented painter, Barbara continues to give her talents and many hours to TRK by designing logos, invitations and posters for TRK events. She volunteered as co-editor ' v and designer of the Tualatin Riverkeepers' book, Exploring the Tualatin River Basin. She also has designed Discovery Day t-shirts, painted the Restoration Tool Bank trailer and recently painted animal tracking posters for the Riverkeepers' new environmental education program, Nature Awareness and Service. Barbara volunteers for TRK because she knows "non-profit organizations depend on Monica Smiley wants to volunteers, so I offer what I can. I volunteer for TRK because I believe that what we are introduceyou to her doing is important and can make a difference to the health of the river as well as the favorite new TRK Volunteer, entire ecosystem (including neighborhoods) that it affects." Oscar Smiley. As a resident of Sherwood near the urban growth boundary, Barbara watches the encroachment of development closely, "as the population grows, the demands on Statistics: natural spaces are going to be stretched to the edge.

AGENDA ITEM # 1 FOR AGENDA OF January 24, 2006 CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY IS TITLE Tualatin River Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge Funding PREPARED BY: Dan Plaza DEPT HEAD OK 00 CITY MGR OK C PC-0 ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL The City of Tualatin, managing partner of the Tualatin River Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge project, has informed its partners, Durham and Tigard, that substantial project cost increases are anticipated. ODOT, the constructing agency, needs to confirm the partners' willingness to provide additional funding. Tigard's share of these cost increases is projected to be between $103,828 and $374,078, depending on Metro's participation. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Council review the materials and the presentation by Mr. Paul Hennon, and provide direction on the Council's willingness to commit additional park system development charge (SDC) funds to the project. INFORMATION SUMMARY City of Tualatin Project Manager Mr. Paul Hennon will be presenting this issue to the Council. In February, 2004, the Council approved an intergovernmental agreement with the Cities of Durham and Tualatin to construct the Tualatin River Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge. Since that time, the project has incurred significant cost increases and we are operating under an ODOT deadline, of January 31, 2006, to verify our level of financial commitment to the project. A February bid date is scheduled and would allow sufficient lead time to obtain the materials, specifically the steel, so the project can begin June 1, 2006, as scheduled. If delayed, the project will slip an entire year and costs will undoubtedly escalate during that time. Please refer to the attached memo for more detailed information. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED The Council could choose to delay or cancel consideration of the funding increase. COUNCIL GOALS AND TIGARD BEYOND TOMORROW VISION STATEMENT Council Goal - "Addressing Growth - Acquire and Develop Park Land and Open Space" Tigard Beyond Tomorrow, Urban and Public Services, Parks and Greenways #2 - "Open space and greenway areas shall be preserved and protected." Strategy #1 - "Acquire and develop park land." Tigard Beyond Tomorrow: Parks and Greenways; Goal #2, Strategy #1, Acquire and develop parkland. ATTACHMENT LIST Memo from Dan Plaza to Dennis Koellermeier dated January 13, 2006. FISCAL NOTES Tigard has proposed to fund its share of the project with $250,000 of Metro Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) monies and parks SDCs. The actual SDC amount is dependent on Metro's financial participation in this project. The MTIP funding was approved in 2005 when the City Council tabled the Greenburg Road improvement project. The parks SDC fund currently has approximately $2.7 million. This is sufficient money to fund this project, as well as projects approved in FY 05-06, and SDC eligible projects being considered for inclusion in the upcoming FY 06-07 budget.

MEMORANDUM DATE: January 17, 2006 TO: Paul Hennon FROM: Mike Odom SUBJECT: 1/13/06 E-mail questions PROJECT: Tualatin River Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge PROJECT NO: ODOT0000-0483 COPIES: Michele Thom, ODOT As requested in your 1/13/06 e-mail, I offer the following responses to questions for the City of Tigard Mayor. A. Footings are being placed in the 100-year floodplain. Bridge length and the final footing locations were based on the FEMA requirement to achieve a "no-rise" to the 100-year flood elevation. The need to comply with this requirement was known at the beginning of the project; however, until completion of a hydraulic analysis, the design details were not known. B. We did not have prior approval for the bridge and no agency has changed its mind. We had a feasibility study based on a conceptual design and two alternative alignments that indicated a bridge project was feasible, identified key issues to address and resolve (including the "no-rise" requirement, bridge location, and bridge material), and made an estimate of design and construction costs. The cost estimate was based on a wood main bridge span, but it was determined that a steel main bridge span would simplify permitting due to concerns NOAA raised with preservative treatments of the wood. The feasibility study was completed in 2000 and Tigard and ODOT Rail participated. C. To the best of my knowledge, the original project funding was based on a report prepared in May 26, 2000 by Thomas Wiser, PE. The report evaluated two alternatives (Alternatives A and B) and provided an estimated project cost of $1.039 million for Alternative A, which most closely resembles the current project's design. This project total included engineering and a 30% construction contingency. The cost of the bridge was estimated to be approximately $500,000 in the report, which included an anticipated 200-foot wood main span with concrete girder approach spans. Currently, the estimated cost of the bridge is approximately $1,250,000. This cost represents a bridge cost of $830,000, which includes a 140-foot steel main bridge span, concrete box girder approach spans, and a work bridge. The work bridge cost of $420,000 was not addressed in the original estimate. The 30% contingency item included in the original estimate was not adequate to cover the work bridge cost. Additionally, changes in length and width of the bridge during design resulted in approximately 1000 square feet more bridge than the originally contemplated structure, which is an 2100 SW River Parkway Portland Oregon 97201 Phone: 503.223.6663 Facsimile: 503.223.2701 Joanne Bengtson - Responses to tigard questions.doc Page 2 1 Paul Hennon January 17, 2006 Page 2 approximate 20% increase in size.

Please note that the estimated cost is currently being review by ODOT and may change as a result of this review.

The project has incurred significant cost increases and we are operating under an ODOT deadline, of January 31, 2006, to verify our level of financial commitment to the project. Amending the IGA to Include Clean Water Services (CWS) The original partners in the project were the Cities of Tigard, Tualatin, and Durham. These partners agreed to contribute a combined total of $400,000 to this project based on a formula whereby Tigard contributed 57.5 percent, and Durham and Tualatin contributed 2.5 and 40 percent respectively. Recently, CWS has agreed to join the partnership, at a cost of $600,000. To bring CWS into the partnership, the original IGA must be amended. ODOT and Metro Funding ODOT, the bridge contracting agency, is a significant player in this venture and originally awarded a $990,000 project grant. Paul Hennon, Tualatin Community Services Director, is acting as project manager for the partners, including CWS. Paul is working with ODOT and Metro to cover cost increases of about $500,000. ODOT has contributed an additional $297,000 to the project. At the time of this writing, Metro had been asked to contribute, but had not made a decision. In the meantime, the partners need to be prepared to address the funding deficit. Funding and Costs Total estimated project costs have grown from $1,390,000 to $2,937,570. Tigard's share of the cost has increased accordingly. The funding scenario for each agency is as follows: Original IGA Current Estimates Current Estimates May 2004 with Metro without Metro ODOT $990,000 $1,287,000 $1,287,000 City of Tigard $230,000 $ 333,828 $ 604,078 City of Tualatin $160,000 $ 202,228 $ 420,228 City of Durham $ 10,000 $ 14,514 $ 26,264 CWS 0 $ 600,000 $ 600,000 Metro 0 $ 500,000 0 Project Total $1,390,000 $2,937,570 $2,937,570 Tigard has proposed to fund its share with $250,000 of Metro Transportation Improvement Program (MTIP) monies and parks SDC's (SDC amount dependent on Metro's financial participation in this project). The MTIP funding was approved in 2005 when the City Council tabled the Greenburg Road improvement project. Irrelevant of the project's final outcome, the partners are committed to pay ODOT approximately $350,000 for design work to-date. Tigard's share of this payment is $201,250. Why the Increase? The main reasons for the cost increases are as follows: ■ The bridge structure is longer than envisioned in the feasibility report. This is due to final alignment, avoidance of existing utilities, and footing placement outside the floodway to create a "no-rise" in flood elevation. ■ Material costs for steel and concrete have escalated, and costs for certain aspects of the project are expected to double. ■ Approximately 30 area bridge projects are planned to bid this spring. With this kind of market saturation, contractors will be in demand, and bids will likely be higher. ■ Design and construction engineering fees will be higher than anticipated due to the project's complexity related to increased length, material selection, and in-water work window. Timing ODOT's bridge contract is with the City of Tualatin. Prior to the targeted February 23 bid date, ODOT requires Tualatin to make a deposit of 110% of the final engineers estimate. This date places the project at the front end of the bidding schedule for area bridges and could result in more favorable bids. Additionally, there is an in-water work window for the Tualatin River from June 1 to September 30. This window allows the contractor four-months to get the work bridge built and drive the steel piles to support the actual bridge. A February bid date would allow sufficient lead time to obtain the steel so the project can begin June 1. If delayed, the project will slip an entire year and costs will undoubtedly continue to escalate during that time. Project Importance The Tualatin River Bicycle and Pedestrian Bridge is a critical park project; this bridge will provide a pedestrian and bikeway connection to three significant parks, a jumping off point for the Fanno Creek greenway, and a long-awaited north/south crossing over the Tualatin River. Despite the cost increases, this may be the best opportunity to finally construct a project that has been on the table for 20-years. Council Action Needed Direction on the Council's willingness to commit additional park SDC funds to the project, with funding increases between $103,828 and $374,078, depending on Metro participation. ~'m m ~aos. -Lnax~~.

Responsible development that builds strong local communities, the protection of ecologically significant lands and providing people.with the experiences of nature that they value so highly are central tenets in all of them. In 1995 citizens strongly approved Metro's $135 million Open Spaces, Parks and Streams bond measure to protect the landscapes that help define our region. Since then more than 8,100 acres of river, stream and interconnected wildlife and trail corridors, buttes, wetlands and prairies have been protected. In 2600 - 2001, the Metro Policy Advisory Committee (MPAC), a task force composed of elected officials from throughout the region, stated the need to protect. and improve the ecological health of fish and wildlife habitat in the region and .urged the Metro Council to extend its land acquisition efforts beyond the scope of the successful 1995 bond measure. In December 2004, the Council adopted resolution No. 04-3506A, which resolved to take before the voters an acquisition and restoration program bond measure by November 2006. In accordance with this resolution, the Council established the.Blue Ribbon Committee in September 2005 (Resolution No. 05-3612). The committee, a short-term task force, was to advise and make preliminary recommendations to the Council on the content of such a bond measure program. Committee Process and Charge The Committee, composed of 18 business, civic and citizen representatives recruited by Council President Bragdon, met for three sessions - October 25, November 2 and November 9, 2005 - and was asked by the Council to provide advice on the following questions: 1. What should the overall size of the bond be, within a range of $140 to $270 million? MArpglparkslstafNam1sonU1m DesmondlLocal Share Project LIOAttach B - BRCfinalfina11205-3.doc Page 1 2. Which regional-scale target areas should be prioritized for future acquisition by Metro? 3. What type, if any, of regional capital projects should be included - for example, open some previously acquired open spaces for public. use, complete regional trails, build a few high profile capital improvements (e.g. trailhead facilities for Forest Park) 4. How much of the bond should be dedicated to the "local share per capita" component, as implemented under the 1995 measure? 5. Should the "local share" fund be %limited to acquisitions and capital projects related to natural areas as in the 1995 bond, or be open to any parks or public space projects at the discretion of the local jurisdictions, including soccer fields, tennis courts, urban plazas, etc.? 6. Should the bond also contain a more flexible, opportunity-driven fund, such as the proposed competitive "Nature in Neighborhoods" capital grant program? If the committee favors this approach, what should be its primary focus and how large should it be? . In March 2006, Council will decide on a final bond sum and program after it considers and reviews the Blue Ribbon Committee's recommendations, recommendations from Metro's Greenspaces Policy Advisory Committee (GPAC) and seeks input from local jurisdictions and the community at large. Recommendations & Considerations 1. Size of a 2006 Bond Measure. Protection of water quality and fish and wildlife habitat is essential in order to protect our quality of life, manage regional growth and leave a legacy for future generations. The Committee recommends a 2006 natural areas acquisition bond measure of a maximum of $220 million in order to, as one member stated, "maintain a keen eye on what's doable, sustainable and what protects our natural and cultural heritage." It is critical to balance an investment in water quality and natural resource protection with strong voter support. The Committee believes that $220 million is the "break point" between what will be gained from such an investment and where public support may fall off in the face of competing measures. A majority of the committee felt that going higher than $220 would jeopardize support for the measure. $220 million also translates into a $32 per year contribution by the average homeowner, or $2.67, approximately; per month for the protection of water quality,, natural areas and fish and wildlife habitat - a sum consistent with preferences reflected in recent polling. The Committee was asked by the Metro Council to consider a range of between $140 million and $270 million based on the size of the 1995 bond and indications of an acceptable ceiling provided from recent polling. In-depth discussions about the success of the last bond measure ($135.6 million) weighed against lessening voter tax tolerance and the urgency of and opportunity for protecting remaining headwaters and areas critical to fish and wildlife habitat led the Committee to conclude that a balance must be achieved between these competing concerns in order for the measure to be enthusiastically embraced by voters. The Committee understands and strongly supports MArpglparks\stafNam1sonU1rn DesmondUca1 Share Project t-1sMttach B - BRUnaNina11205_1doc Page 2 1. the need to continue investing in the region's landscape in order to protect essential values but the investment must be made at a level palatable to citizens. $220 million will provide a substantial local component and provide Metro with $165 million to acquire ecologically significant lands and develop public access to previously acquired natural areas. 2. Protection of ecologically significant lands. The Blue Ribbon Committee' recommends acquisition of lands in ecologically significant headwaters, rivers and stream corridors, forests and other critical habitat areas throughout all parts of the region in order to protect water quality and fish and wildlife habitat for the long term. The Committee also strongly supports the methodology of specific, justified target areas being clearly identified in advance on scientific grounds, and in pursuing only those acquisitions which are consistent with those standards. The Committee recommends eleven new target areas (acquisition goal: 4,200 acres, approximately), six regional greenways, and continued acquisition (850 acres, approximately) of critical lands in specific target areas remaining from the 1995 bond measure. The recommendation is based on the assessment of over 40 public and private scientists from throughout the region who identified these areas as essential to the continued. protection of water quality and fish and wildlife habitat. The protection of these proposed new target areas, when taken together with the lands acquired under Metro's 1995 .bond measure, will help protect a vital ecological landscape for current and. future generations, maintaining the values that make this region a desirable place to live, raise a family and do business. The eleven Proposed Target Areas include (see attached map and target area descriptions on back): Damascus Butte Chehalem Ridge Deep Creek and Tributaries Wapato Lake Clackamas River Bluffs Rock Creek Watershed Abernethy Creek Columbia Slough Stafford/Wilson Creek Johnson Creek Watershed Lower Tualatin Headwaters The six proposed regional greenways include: Tonquin Trail Westside Powerline Trail Willamette River Greenway Cazadero Trail Fanno Creek Greenway Gresham-Fairview Trail Remaining 1995 Target Areas include: East Buttes and Boring Lava Domes Tonquin Geologic Area Clear Creek Canyon Cooper Mountain Clackamas River Greenway Gales Creek Newell Creek Canyon Jackson Bottoms/Dairy-McKay Creeks M:V"\parkslstafNamfson\Jlm Oesmond\Local Share Project LfstW.ttach B - BRCRnafflna41205_1doc Page 3 Tryon Creek Linkages Forest Park Willamette Narrows Springwater Trail Corridor Canemah Bluff Rock Creek Sandy River Gorge The Committee recommends the removal of Hayden Island as a proposed target area because of its land use designation (industrial) and the owner's documented unwillingness to sell, but encourages continued exploration of potential opportunities in the existing East Buttes Target Area, given its location in the region relative.to population growth. Metro staff will continue analyzing opportunities in each target area in order to produce "an ecologically meaningful portfolio." 3. `Peopling Nature' Projects. The Committee recommends that no more than a few (approximately six) highly visible capital improvement projects on public land, regardless of jurisdiction, be included to improve peoples' access to previously acquired public sites and to help protect and improve water quality and fish and wildlife habitat. Some capital projects, only if they clearly reflect the ecological intent of the measure and provide opportunities for citizens to use and appreciate previously acquired natural areas, will increase park provider and citizen support without eroding support overall. Completion of important land and water trail corridors, new trailheads and other projects that help citizens be in and enjoy natural areas should receive consideration. Metro staff will continue to develop a compatible package in close coordination with local park providers that own key elements of the current regional system (e.g., Forest Park). Current potential projects include $16.5 million, approximately, of total bond funds. We believe this level of involvement is advisable, but to go further would undermine the purpose by inappropriately diluting the land acquisition and water quality protection focus of the bond. 4. Local Legacy Program. Local government and community involvement in the implementation of the bond measure provides an opportunity for communities to contribute to the protection of water quality, fish and wildlife habitat and the presence of nature in neighborhoods throughout the region. Such efforts will reinforce the regional vision by integrating natural areas, wildlife and trail corridors, and nature-related parks and parklands into local areas. The Committee recommends that twenty-five percent (25%) of the total bond be provided for local projects. Twenty percent (20%) should be allocated as a per capita share to be used by local jurisdictions and park providers. Five percent (5%) should be allocated to a capital fund made available to a variety of community groups, on a competitive basis, for projects that produce the same results - improve water quality, protect or enhance fish and wildlife habitat and return nature to deficient neighborhoods throughout the urban and exurban parts of the region. M:VN\parks\staftyamison\Jlm DesmondlL.ocal Share Project LlshAttach B - BRCflnalflna11205 3.doc Page 4 5. Local Legacy Criteria. Local projects should directly complement the larger regional vision by focusing on the protection of water quality and fish and wildlife habitat, and the restoration of areas important to our quality of life. The Committee embraces and recommends use of the attached local share project selection criteria but encourages some flexibility to accommodate communities with multiple park needs. However, the Committee reiterates that projects should connect directly to or complement the ecological intent of the bond measure, and cautions against deviating from that intent. Hence, land acquisition for future neighborhood parks may be eligible, but construction of active recreation facilities should not be considered eligible (see attached criteria). 6. Community Water and Restoration (Opportunity) Grant Program. A new capital fund would provide an additional opportunity for more people to engage in local efforts that reinforce the regional vision. The restoration of natural areas, wetlands and stream corridors, construction of rain gardens, and. the replanting of streets are a few examples of the types of projects. that can re-nature neighborhoods and build strong constituencies that will help protect natural processes at all scales. The Committee embraces and recommends the attached project selection criteria. The Committee discussed and reached unanimous agreement that these funds should not be used to develop facilities such as farmers markets, interpretive centers, or other heavily .developed public spaces. (see attached criteria). Meeting Summaries The following brief summaries present the interim issues and direction set by the Committee in each of its three meetings. October 25, 2005 Council President Bragdon reiterated the Committee's charge and the need for the Committee's scrutiny in recommending elements of the 2006 bond measure. Regional Parks Department staff presented background on the composition and success of the. 1995 Open Spaces, Parks and Streams bond measure and articulated the current need for continued acquisition of critical lands to protect water quality and fish and wildlife habitat for the future. Staff described the 2006 bond measure as contemplated to date and provided a computer flyover of proposed regional target areas selected through a survey of scientists and biologists,,a local share per capita component and a new opportunity grant program designed to include and engage a wide range of local partners. Patricia McCaig presented poll results from a recent survey of 600 residents. that indicates strong interest across all populations in a regional measure focused on the protection of water quality and fish and wildlife habitat. Mike Ragsdale, chair of Metro's Greenspaces Policy Advisory Committee (GPAC), presented that committee's recommendations concerning the bond measure. M.Vpg\parkslstafNamisonUlm Desmondlocal Share Project Usl\Attach B - BRCfinaNina11205 3.doc Page 5 Issues Identified for Discussion: • Competition from other bond measures (i.e., schools, jails) • Inclusion of active recreation projects as part of the measure • Operation and maintenance revenue needs for current and future land management Direction: Chair Miller asked that Parks staff provide millage rates, population by county, and generate three acquisition and cost estimate scenarios - $140 million, $195 million and $270 million - including acreages for new target areas, acreages for land still to be acquired in the 1995 bond target areas, regional greenway acquisitions and regional capital improvement projects. All three scenarios would assume a-local component of 25% of the total sum for discussion purposes. November 2, 2005 Committee members discussed the three acquisition scenarios and the proposed target areas, and concluded the meeting with a brief discussion of the local share and opportunity fund. The acquisition of the total acreages outlined in all target areas is estimated to cost $800 million. Parks staff stated that given the program's willing seller approach, $270 million is the sum required to sustain all these areas to protect water quality and the current biological functions identified by the science community. Staff described the target areas using biologic and landscape ecology principles and their compatibility with Metro's regional growth management goals. A $140 million scenario would provide little ability to acquire acreages that would contribute significantly to sustaining future water quality or fish and wildlife habitat unless several proposed target areas were dropped, particularly those located within the current Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). Chair Miller emphasized the need to reach agreement on the total program in the third meeting on November 9. Issues Identified for Discussion: • Inconsistency of 'signature' projects with intent of the measure based on recent polling and Council's Nature in Neighborhood directive. • Need for flexibility in local share to maintain support for the measure. • Focus of opportunity grant fund - need for clear criteria and types of projects. • Relationship of target areas to vision for region (Metro's 2040 Framework Plan). Need for target areas to be defined in the context of the Regional Framework Plan and current growth management efforts. • Need for target areas and local share to include growing cities and new areas in order to maintain residents' enthusiasm for the measure. Direction: Committee members decided to recommend funding the local component of the measure at 20% per capita and 5% opportunity grant fund. The majority rejected the concern of some members about 'signature' projects and decided to retain them to improve public access to nature and to strengthen local support for the measure. They also requested cost estimates for each project. Committee members rejected the $140 million bond total as too low for success in maintaining regional water quality and fish and wildlife habitat. Chair Miller directed staff to generate a $200 million package and to prioritize proposed target areas using four overarching criteria: water quality, ecological MArpg\parks\stafNamison\Jlm DesmondlLocal Share Project Ust\Attach B - 8RCflnalflna11205_3.doc Page 6 significance, public usability and compatibility with regional growth goals. Committee members requested that Hayden Island be identified for deletion due to its inclusion as industrial land in Metro's 2040 Regional Framework Plan. Members also requested that the opportunity grant fund and local share criteria be made more explicit. Finally, members requested a list of potential ballot measures slated for November 2006. November 9, 2005 Chair Miller asked the group to reach as much agreement as possible on the bond total, proposed target areas and criteria of the local funding programs, and to make clear additional considerations for Council on issues not fully resolved. GPAC Chair Mike Ragsdale reiterated GPAC's recommendation of a $270 million bond measure. Members agreed to decide the largest prudent number for the measure in the context of tax weariness, competition with other measures and the need to balance the right target areas with the right locations. Members negotiated a total number after weighing the risk of a higher measure losing with the overall broad regional ecological landscape vision being diluted further in a lower measure by public process or a Council decision. The Committee reiterated the need for the measure to remain consistent with water quality and fish and wildlife habitat protection goals. Issues Identified for Discussion: • Addition of Scouter Mountain (East Buttes Target Area) as a proposed target area • Opportunity grant fund needs tighter focus - needs to reflect poll results and keep 're-naturing' and water quality focus • Retention of regional capital improvement projects vs. trimming; addition of other capital improvement projects (e.g. Willamette River railroad bridge from Milwaukie to Lake Oswego) Direction. The Committee agreed on a $220 million bond that includes $16 million, approximately, for regional capital improvement projects. The local component was set at 25%. Committee members urged Metro to make every effort to acquire land in the 1995 East Buttes Target Area, if financially feasible. Members approved the local share and opportunity grant fund criteria and recommended that community gardens be included under project eligibility criteria.

All three scenarios would assume a local component of 25% of the total sum for discussion purposes. 5 November 2, 2005 Committee members discussed the three acquisition scenarios and the proposed target areas, and concluded the meeting with a brief discussion of the local share and opportunity fund. The acquisition of the total acreages outlined in all target areas is estimated to cost $800 million. Parks staff stated that given the program's willing seller approach, $270 million is the sum required to sustain all these areas to protect water quality and the current biological functions identified by the science community. Staff described the target areas using biologic and landscape ecology principles and their compatibility with Metro's regional growth management goals. A $140 million scenario would provide little ability to acquire acreages that would contribute significantly to sustaining future water quality or fish and wildlife habitat unless several proposed target areas were dropped, particularly those located within the current Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). Chair Miller emphasized the need to reach agreement on the total program in the third meeting on November 9. Issues Identified for Discussion: • Inconsistency of 'signature' projects with intent of the measure based on recent polling and Council's Nature in Neighborhood directive. • Need for flexibility in local share to maintain support for the measure. • Focus of opportunity grant fund - need for clear criteria and types of projects. • Relationship of target areas to vision for region (Metro's 2040 Framework Plan). Need for target areas to be defined in the context of the Regional Framework Plan and current growth management efforts. • Need for target areas and local share to include growing cities and new areas in order to maintain residents' enthusiasm for the measure. Direction: Committee members decided to recommend funding the local component of the measure at 20% per capita and 5% opportunity grant fund. The majority rejected the concern of some members about 'signature' projects and decided to retain them to improve public access to nature and to strengthen local support for the measure. They also requested cost estimates for each project. Committee members rejected the $140 million bond total as too low for success in maintaining regional water quality and fish and wildlife habitat. Chair Miller directed staff to generate a $200 million package and to prioritize proposed target areas using four overarching criteria: water quality, ecological significance, public usability and compatibility with regional growth goals. Committee members requested that Hayden Island be identified for deletion due to its inclusion as industrial land in Metro's 2040 Regional Framework Plan. Members also requested that the opportunity grant fund and local share criteria be made more explicit. Finally, members requested a list of potential ballot measures slated for November 2006. November 9, 2005 Chair Miller asked the group to reach as much agreement as possible on the bond total, proposed target areas and criteria of the local funding programs, and to make clear additional considerations for Council on issues not fully resolved. GPAC Chair Mike Ragsdale reiterated GPAC's recommendation of a $270 million bond measure. Members agreed to decide the largest prudent number for the measure in the context of tax weariness, competition with other measures and the need to balance the right target 6 areas with the right locations. Members negotiated a total number after weighing the risk of a higher measure losing with the overall broad regional ecological landscape vision being diluted further in a lower measure by public process or a Council decision. The Committee reiterated the need for the measure to remain consistent with water quality and fish and wildlife habitat protection goals. Issues Identified for Discussion: • Addition of Scouter Mountain (East Buttes Target Area) as a proposed target area • Opportunity grant fund needs tighter focus - needs to reflect poll results and keep 're-naturing' and water quality focus • Retention of regional capital improvement projects vs. trimming; addition of other capital improvement projects (e.g. Willamette River railroad bridge from Milwaukie to Lake Oswego) Direction. The Committee agreed on a $220 million bond that includes $16 million, approximately, for regional capital improvement projects. The local component was set at 25%. Committee members urged Metro to make every effort to acquire land in the 1995 East Buttes Target Area, if financially feasible. Members approved the local share and opportunity grant fund criteria and recommended that community gardens be included under project eligibility criteria.

It's been a long time since condors soared through by Tony Vecchio, director of the Oregon Zoo the Columbia Gorge, but they were once our local wildlife. We decided to throw our hat into the ring with the California Condor Recovery Program, even though ds it was a long shot and we didn't have the space to house the condors if we were accepted. When the Oregon Zoo was invited into the program in 2001, we were only able to move ahead thanks to Metro's open spaces acquisition program. Conservation staff from the zoo and natural resource scientists from Metro Regional Parks and Greenspaces Department worked together to come up with a suitable site for the condor facility. They found it in a natural area along Clear Creek in Clackamas County acquired with funds from Metro's open spaces bond measure. This unique opportunity for the zoo and the parks and greenspaces department to work together, along with the support in 1987, the world's 27 remaining California condors were taken into captivity in an attempt to and leadership of the Metro Council, has save the species from extinction.

AGENDA OF January 24, 2006 CITY OF TIGARD; OREGON COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Consider a Resolution Approving the Submittal of the City of Tigard's Proposed Greens ace and Trail Pro ects for Inclusion in Metro's Natural Areas Bon easure 2006 PREPARED BY: Dan Plaza DEPT HEAD OK CITY MGR OK ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Consider a resolution approving the submittal of the City of Tigard's proposed greenspace and trail projects for inclusion in Metro's natural areas bond measure 2006. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the City Council approve the resolution. INFORMATION SUMMARY The goal of Metro's greenspaces program is to establish a regional system of natural areas, open space, park land, trails, and gmenways for people and wildlife. The Metro Council is proposing a $220 million natural areas general obligation bond measure to be referred to voters in November 2006. The measure will include a $44 million set aside for local greenspace and park projects. Tigard's share of these funds is estimated to be $1,326,780 and would be used for greenspace, park land, and trail acquisition and improvement projects both inside and outside the urban growth boundary. To be eligible for the proposed bond measure funds, a brief, general description of potential projects must be approved by the City Council and delivered to Metro by March 1, 2006. Approval of the attached resolution will satisfy this requirement. Submittal of these potential projects does not commit the city to any actions. At its January 9, 2006, meeting, Tigard's Park and Recreation Board reviewed and approved the proposed projects contained in the resolution. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED The Council could choose to change the potential projects or could decide not to submit a project list. COUNCIL GOALS AND VISION TASK FORCE GOAL AND ACTION COMMITTEE STRATEGY Council Goal - "Addressing Growth - Acquire and Develop Park Land and Open Space" Tigard Beyond Tomorrow, Urban and Public Services, Parks and Greenways #2 - "Open space and greenway areas shall be preserved and protected." Strategy #1 - "Acquire and develop park land." ATTACHMENT LIST 1. Resolution FISCAL NOTE If the November bond measure passes, an estimated $1,326,780 would be available to Tigard as pass-through funds. The funds would be in the form of an entitlement with no city contribution required. Staff will most likely suggest at that time that these funds be used as the "non-system development charge" portion of jointly funded projects to provide maximum leverage of our system development charge (SDC) dollars.

On December 22, 2005, Hearings ' Officer J. Richard Forester issued a final order approving Spectrum's applications for the Refuge at Fanno Creek (the "Final Order"). Pursuant to a Public Hearing Notice received by Spectrum January 13, 2006, the Tigard City Council (the "Council') has scheduled a public hearing for s January 24, 2006 to consider a request that the Council exercise its authority under ORS 227.180(l)(a) to review the Final Order. In response to the Public Hearing Notice, Spectrum submits this response. Spectrum will also present oral testimony at the hearing. At the January 10, 2006 Council meeting, Mr. John Frewing submitted a written request with attached documents asking, that the Council exercise its authority under ORS 227.180(1)(a) to review the Final Order (the "Request"). The Request was not on the Council's agenda and not noticed to the public. Spectrum was not present at that meeting and did not have an opportunity; to respond to the Request. However, Spectrum understands that Mr. F'rewing argued that the ; Council should review the Final Order because, in Mr. Frewing's view, Spectrum does not have. access rights for an alternative access route to the Refuge at Fanno Creek. Mr. Frewing also way candid that he was seeking this action from the Council because he was unable to pay the fee to appeal the Final Order. For the following reasons, Spectrum requests that the Council deny the request to review the Final Order. Mr. Frewing asks the Council to second guess a legal conclusion of the Hearings Officer. In his final Order, the Hearings Officer concluded that Spectrum has the necessary easement rights for: Orcgon` W>>hnflon C,t-(or.n.a UL.h Pordndl-2217257 10063199-00003 1 a e h o 1 t JAN-24-06 03:44PM FROM- T-574 P.03/04 F-7 E 63 - Tigard City Council January 24, 2006 Page 2 an alternative access to Refuge at Fanno Creek (Final Order at 10). The Hearings Officer reached this conclusion after reviewing a 1965 Bargain and Sale Deed (the "Deed") reserving the easement in question. The easement language in the Deed, quoted by the Hearings Officer, states: "Subject to an easement to Members of the Public for access to that certain Southern Pacific Railway Linder-Pass laying approximately one thousand feet ' northwesterly of Southwest Dakota Street under the Southern Pacific Railway tracks and westerly of the parcels herein conveyed." Mr. Frewing had argued that the easement only provides access to the railroad's property and does not allow the public to cross the railroad's property under an existing railroad trestle. The Hearings Officer specifically rejected that argument, stating that the quoted easement language contradicts Mr. Frewing's argument because it allows the public to use the easement "under the; railroad." (Id.) The Hearings Officer, a lawyer with significant experience in such matters, ; necessarily concluded that the legal effect of the easement language in the Deed is to grant the public the right to cross the railroad's property. The Council should deny the Request because Mr. Frewing provides no legal justification for the Council to upset the Hearings Officer's legal; determination. The Council also should deny the Request because Mr. Frewing provides no new information and is mistaken about the basis for the Hearings Officer's decision in the Final Order. Nothing in the Request is new information, and the arguments in, and all of the documents attached to, the Request were before the Hearings Officer, What is more, Mi. Frewing's Request is based o~► a mistaken understanding of the easements that provide access to the Refuge at Fanno Creek. Me states that Spectrum relies on a 1995 "Basement 9500015055" as the basis for access. He goes on to argue that this easement runs "from Cascade Blvd TO the RR property, but not ACROSS the railroad property." From this he argues that Spectrum cannot cross the railroad's property and therefore does not have an access right to Refuge at Fanno Creek. Mr. Frewing is both correct and wrong. He is correct that the 1995 easement provides access from Cascade Boulevard to the railroad property. He is wrong when he says that this is the easement Spectrum relies on for access across the railroad to the Refuge at Fanno Creek. The 1965 easement reserved in the Deed picks up where the 1995 easement stops and completes access to the Refuge at Fanno Creek by running across the railroad property and under the railroad tracks. These two easements together provide the rights necessary for the public to access the Refuge at Fanno Creels. Spectrum relies on both easements, and the Hearings Officer Portlnd I -2217257.1 0063198-00003 JAN-24-06 03:44PM FROW T-574 P.04/04 F-763 Tigard City Council January 24, 2006 } Page 3 specifically concluded that the 1965 easement in the Deed provides access across the railroad property. In short, Mr. Frewing is simply mistaken. There is no basis for the Council to review the Final', Order_ For the forgoing reasons, Spectrum respectfully asks the Council to deny the Request. If, however, the Council decides to review the Final Order, Spectrum reserves the right to respond and provide additional evidence. Respectfully submitted, Robert D.

Would you make sure that all Council members get this photograph; its relevance will be made clear as part of my written/oral testimony this evening. I'm sorry I can't print and give a hard copy to everyone. This photo, taken December 22, 2005 along the 'way' west of the railroad on the site of the proposed Refuge at Fanno Creek, looks east toward the railroad trestle across Ash Creek. The photo shows water from Ash Creek spilling over this 'way', because the culverts underneath the way cannot pass the stream flow of Ash Creek on that day.

That makes it difficult for me to respond. Could I and the railroad attorney be invited to the discussions you indicate are taking place between city attorneys and applicant attorneys so that it is an open exploration of the easement issue rather than a ganging up by city and applicant? I have pasted below my current thinking on the easement issues for next Tuesday's hearing. Please pass these on to the applicant and railroad for their consideration. Thanks. John Frewing REFUGE AT FANNO CREEK - JOHN FREWING VIEWS AS OF 1/19/06 On January 10, City Council agreed to hold a hearing on the question of whether there is an access easement under the Southern Pacific right-of-way. Discussion on that date was that several questions were to be addressed, including: - Should City Council be reviewing this matter - Was the railroad notified and did it express a view in the proceeding below - Did the hearings officer citation address an easement under the railroad - Is there evidence outside the record that an easement under the railroad exists Discussion concluded that if there were not easement under the railroad, the hearings officer approval of the development would be in error and a changed application would necessarily be required to be filed. My views on the issues are as follows: A This is a proper issue for City Council to review. I raised it in my initial comments on this development (November 14, 2005), was confronted by applicant with a package of new/different but supposedly applicable easements prior to the Hearings Officer hearing on December 12, 2005, and after review of those easements have properly raised it to you in accordance with state law. B The requirement for an applicant to own or otherwise control the proposed development site is not clearly stated in TCDC 18.705, as cited in the notice of this hearing, but I believe exists only in the application form provided by the director, which form is specified but not detailed in TCDC 18.390. C The City Council properly can review the "action" (hearings officer decision). ORS 227.178. Since it is not a formal 'appeal', it is debatable whether such review should be limited to the decision and its record, or should encompass new testimony, evidence, comment, rebuttal, etc. as a de novo review. I believe the scope of the review can properly be council mail councilman Re Refuge at Fanno Creek Page„2 limited as you have done, to the issue of an easement under the railroad and any truly derivative issue. D At the more narrow scope of your review, I believe the citation and conclusion by the hearings officer was in error because the meets-and-bounds description of the easement cited by the hearings officer does not include any property within the railroad property and you should reverse his action. E If some easement outside the record below is found to exist, a significant question is whether such easement is for the development and use specified in the application, ie does it allow excavation at the base of the trestle piling, does it allow development of a roadway, does it allow modification of the conduit which is positioned below the framing of the trestle, does it allow public use, etc. F Examination of the historic documents related to the property of the proposed development site may show a private driveway along the EAST side of the railroad, extending north from North Dakota St about 1000 feet (and crossing over lower Ash Creek on a bridge) and then passing under the railroad at the trestle under review at this hearing; this was never a road, just as the proposed primary access, a driveway along the WEST side of the railroad has never been a road. The TCDC defines a 'road' as a 'street', which is defined as an 'accessway'. The word 'access' is defined (TCDC 18.120.030 A.3.) as follows: "The place, means or way by which pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles enter or leave property. A private access is an access not in public ownership and is controlled by means of deed, dedication or easement." The proposed area under the railroad shows no evidence of being "controlled by means of deed, dedication or easement", ie a private access, and neither shows any evidence of being a public access. The same holds true for the proposed long access on the WEST side of the railroad to the buildings of the development. Hence, there is no 'accessway 'to the proposed development at all. This shortcoming needs correction in that the development includes commercial space and multiple homeowners but no association to control and carry out the committments of city approval.

The Council will accept argument on whether to review the decision and will accept testimony on the merits of the decision as it relates to the rail crossing. In order to get through this procedure in a reasonable time, the Council will allow both the argument on whether to review and the testimony on the substantive issue at the same time. After it has heard argument and testimony, the Council will decide whether it wishes to review the hearings officer's decision. If it decides to review the decision, it will then make a decision on the application as it relates to the proposed rail crossing for the secondary access to the property. If the Council decides to review the matter, the Council's role will be to make a land use decision applying the existing laws of the City of Tigard, but limited to the crossing issue. The Council cannot vary or change that law for the land use decision it may make. Members of the City Council are to be unbiased. Before the start of the hearing, the Mayor will ask the City Council whether they have any potential conflicts, such as a family, financial or business relationship with any of the applicants or with regard to the land in question. If such a potential conflict exists, the Mayor will ask whether the Councilor in question believes he or she is without actual bias or whether he or she would like to step down from the Council bench during the hearing. The Mayor will also ask whether any of the City Council members discussed the application in question with any of the parties or has independent knowledge of relevant facts, such as from a visit to the site in question. If a Council member has had such contacts or independent knowledge of relevant facts, the Mayor will ask the Council member to disclose the substance of that contact. After the Mayor asks the Council Members about bias and ex-parte contacts, you may challenge the impartiality of the City Councilor and may rebut the substance of a City Council member's knowledge of the facts. The Council member in question may respond to such a challenge. Copies of the rules of procedure for the hearing are available at the entrance to Town Hall on the podium. The Council will first hear from the applicant, then from those who support approval of the application, and then from those opposed to the application. As I mentioned before, persons may make arguments relating to whether the Council should allow review, and may present testimony on the substantive issue of the rail crossing. The Council members also may ask the staff and the witnesses questions throughout the hearing until the record closes. If a witness introduces new evidence in response to opposition or questions, everyone who has participated to that point gets a chance to respond to the new evidence. Then the applicant can make a closing statement without introducing new evidence. Then the Mayor will close the public portion of the hearing and the City Council will deliberate about what to do with the application. During deliberations, the City Council may re-open the public portion of the hearing if necessary to receive additional evidence before making a decision. Please only speak when the Mayor identifies you for that purpose. You must testify orally or in writing before the close of the public record to preserve your right to appeal our decision to the Land Use Board of Appeals, known as "LUBA." You must raise an issue clearly enough so people can understand what it is and offer evidence in support of it, or else you cannot raise that issue before LUBA. If an applicant wants to object to proposed conditions of approval based on constitutional grounds, he or she must do so orally or in writing before the close of the public record, or else the applicant cannot raise those issues in an appeal or in a court proceeding. Please make sure that you limit your discussion to argument as to whether the Council should allow review and to testimony regarding the railroad crossing issue. Please do not repeat testimony offered by yourself or earlier witnesses. If we think your testimony is irrelevant or repetitious, the Mayor may interrupt and ask you to continue with another subject. Demonstrations from the audience are prohibited. Please refrain from them. Comments from the audience will not be part of the record. When you testify, please come forward to the table. Please begin your testimony by giving your name, please spell your last name, and give your full mailing address including zip code. If you represent someone else, please say so. If you have any exhibits you want us to consider, such as a copy of your testimony, photographs, petitions, or other documents or physical evidence, at the close of your comments you must hand all new exhibits to the City Recorder who will mark these exhibits as part of the record. The City staff will keep exhibits until appeal opportunities expire, and then you can ask them to return your exhibits. Any questions about the process for this hearing? (Respond to questions.) That concludes the introduction. We will now begin with the hearing. i:tadm\cathytcca%quasi judicial Infonnationbpening statement - city attorney version - changes accepted.doc S T O E L asyw,6-a- Z4 r D 900 S.W. Fifth Avenue.

On December 22, 2005, Hearings Officer J. Richard Forester issued a final order approving Spectrum's applications for the Refuge at Fanno Creek (the "Final Order"). Pursuant to a Public Hearing Notice received by Spectrum January 13, 2006, the Tigard City Council (the "Council") has scheduled a public hearing for January 24, 2006 to consider a request that the Council exercise its authority under ORS 227.180(1)(a) to review the Final Order. In response to the Public Hearing Notice, Spectrum submits this response. Spectrum will also present oral testimony at the hearing. At the January 10, 2006 Council meeting, Mr. John Frewing submitted a written request with attached documents asking that the Council exercise its authority under ORS 227.180(l)(a) to review the Final Order (the "Request"). The Request was not on the Council's agenda and not noticed to the public. Spectrum was not present at that meeting and did not have an opportunity to respond to the Request. However, Spectrum understands that Mr. Frewing argued that the Council should review the Final Order because, in Mr. Frewing's view, Spectrum does not have access rights for an alternative access route to the Refuge at Fanno Creek. Mr. Frewing also was candid that he was seeking this action from the Council because he was unable to pay the fee to appeal the Final Order. For the following reasons, Spectrum requests that the Council deny the request to review the Final Order. Mr. Frewing asks the Council to second guess a legal conclusion of the Hearings Officer. In his Final Order, the Hearings Officer concluded that Spectrum has the necessary easement rights for Oregon Washington California Utah Portlndl-2217257.1 0063198-00003 1 d a h o Tigard City Council January 24, 2006 Page 2 an alternative access to Refuge at Fanno Creek (Final Order at 10). The Hearings Officer reached this conclusion after reviewing a 1965 Bargain and Sale Deed (the "Deed") reserving the easement in question. The easement language in the Deed, quoted by the Hearings Officer, states: "Subject to an easement to Members of the Public for access to that certain Southern Pacific Railway Under-Pass laying approximately one thousand feet northwesterly of Southwest Dakota Street under the Southern Pacific Railway tracks and westerly of the parcels herein conveyed." Mr. Frewing had argued that the easement only provides access to the railroad's property and does not allow the public to cross the railroad's property under an existing railroad trestle. The Hearings Officer specifically rejected that argument, stating that the quoted easement language contradicts Mr. Frewing's argument because it allows the public to use the easement "under the railroad." (Id.) The Hearings Officer, a lawyer with significant experience in such matters, necessarily concluded that the legal effect of the easement language in the Deed is to grant the public the right to cross the railroad's property. The Council should deny the Request because Mr. Frewing provides no legal justification for the Council to upset the Hearings Officer's legal determination. The Council also should deny the Request because Mr. Frewing provides no new information and is mistaken about the basis for the Hearings Officer's decision in the Final Order. Nothing in the Request is new information, and the arguments in, and all of the documents attached to, the Request were before the Hearings Officer. What is more, Mr. Frewing's Request is based on a mistaken understanding of the easements that provide access to the Refuge at Fanno Creek. He states that Spectrum relies on a 1995 "Easement 9500015055" as the basis for access. He goes on to argue that this easement runs "from Cascade Blvd TO the RR property, but not ACROSS the railroad property." From this he argues that Spectrum cannot cross the railroad's property and therefore does not have an access right to Refuge at Fan-no Creek. Mr. Frewing is both correct and wrong. He is correct that the 1995 easement provides access from Cascade Boulevard to the railroad property. He is wrong when he says that this is the easement Spectrum relies on for access across the railroad to the Refuge at Fanno Creek. The 1965 easement reserved in the Deed picks up where the 1995 easement stops and completes access to the Refuge at Fanno Creek by running across the railroad property and under the railroad tracks. These two easements together provide the rights necessary for the public to access the Refuge at Fanno Creek. Spectrum relies on both easements, and the Hearings Officer Portlnd 1-2217257.1 0063198-00003 Tigard City Council January 24, 2006 Page 3 specifically concluded that the 1965 easement in the Deed provides access across the railroad property. In short, Mr. Frewing is simply mistaken. There is no basis for the Council to review the Final Order. For the forgoing reasons, Spectrum respectfully asks the Council to deny the Request. If, however, the Council decides to review the Final Order, Spectrum reserves the right to respond and provide additional evidence. Respectfully submitted, Robert D.

Discussion on that date was that several questions were to be addressed, including: - Should City Council be reviewing this matter - Was the railroad notified and did it express a view in the proceeding below - Did the hearings officer citation address an easement under the railroad - Is there evidence outside the record that an easement under the railroad exists Discussion concluded that if there were not an appropriate easement under the railroad, the hearings officer approval of the development would be in error and a different application would necessarily be required to be filed. I incorporate by reference the comments, argument and information submitted to you on. January 10, requesting this hearing. The notice of this hearing indicated that TCDC 18.390 was applicable and that a staff report would be available seven days before the hearing; because it was not available, I am presupposing what issues may arise in testimony from others. Without the benefit of a staff report, my views on the easement issues and the consequences of the facts are as follows: A This is a proper issue for City Council to review. I raised it in my initial comments on this development (November 14, 2005), was confronted by applicant with a package of new/different but supposedly applicable easements prior to the Hearings Officer hearing on December 12, 2005, and after review of those easements have properly raised it to you in accordance with state law. B The requirement for an applicant to own or otherwise control the proposed development site is not clearly stated in TCDC 18.705, as cited in the notice of this hearing, but I believe exists only in the application form provided by the director, which form is specified but not detailed in TCDC 18.390. C The City Council properly can review the "action" (hearings officer decision). ORS' 227.178. Since it is not a formal `appeal', it is debatable whether such review should be limited to the decision and its record, or should encompass new testimony, evidence, comment, rebuttal, etc. as a de novo review. I believe the scope of the review can properly be limited to a review of the record, but perhaps, as you have done, to the issue of an easement under the railroad and any truly derivative issue. D At the more narrow scope of review, I believe the citation and conclusion by the hearings officer was in error because the meets-and-bounds description of the easement cited by the hearings officer does not include any property within the railroad property and you should simply reverse his action, making a finding that his citation does not include any easement through the railroad property. E If some easement outside the record below is found to exist, a significant question is appropriate; whether such easement is for the development and use specified in the application, or is it for some more limited purpose and activity; ie does it allow excavation at the base of the trestle piling, does it allow development of a roadway, does it allow modification of the conduit which is positioned below the framing of the trestle, does it allow public use, etc. F Examination of the historic documents related to the property of the proposed development site may show a private driveway along the EAST side of the railroad, extending north from North Dakota St about 1000 feet (and crossing over lower Ash Creek on a bridge) and then passing under the railroad at the trestle under review at this hearing; this was never a road, just as the proposed primary access, a driveway along the WEST side of the railroad has never been a road. The TCDC defines a `road' as a `street', which is defined as an `accessway'. The word `access' is defined (TCDC 18.120.030 A.3.) as follows: "The place, means or way by which pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles enter or leave property. A private access is an access not in public ownership and is controlled by means of deed, dedication or easement." The proposed area under the railroad shows no evidence of being "controlled by means of deed, dedication or easement", ie a private access, and neither shows any evidence of being a public access. The same holds true for the proposed long access on the WEST side of the railroad to the buildings of the development. Hence, there is no `accessway' to the proposed development at all. This shortcoming needs correction in any new application, since there is proposed a variety of commercial space and multiple homeowners'on the Refuge at Fanno Creek, but no homeowners association to carry out the commitments of Tigard approval. G The need for-an alternate access to the proposed sites of development exists because the primary access (north from North Dakota Street) has flooded regularly in the past (and repeatedly during the past month of rains) and will flood again, even with the proposed fill of the proposed `driveway'. I attach to this testimony a December 22, 2005 photo of the flooding across the `way' on the west side of the railroad. This flooding occurs because the existing culverts (which are proposed to remain) are inadequate to pass the waters of Ash Creek. I have examined the adequacy of these culverts and conclude that they do not meet the requirements of Clean Water Services, in their Design and Construction Manual at Section 3.05.4. Attachment A This section requires that culverts shall convey and contain at least the peak runoff for the 25-year design storm. As proof of this situation, I have contacted the United States Geological Survey office here in Portland (Suzanne Miller) and attach our email correspondence concluding that our December 2005 storms, while many, did not on any day exceed a storm with 5-year recurrence probability: Attachment B This was true for Fanno Creek as a whole at North Dakota Street and for its smaller tributaries such as Ash Creek. This comment is added as support for the conclusion that elimination of this alternate access from the proposed development would be a major change in design and require a new development application. H The City review process (Type IIIA hearing before hearing officer) was legally insufficient in that the railroad was not notified as required by city code. I attach to this testimony the Notice of Hearing, the map of affected lands, and the mailing list used by Tigard to notify the public of the proposed Refuge at Fanno Creek. Attachment C The map has two colored sections, one to the west of the railroad and one to the east, showing property owners who were notified; the railroad itself is not colored nor included on the mailing list. I believe this is because Tigard's mailing list is derived from Washington County tax lot listings and the railroad property is assessed by the State of Oregon rather than Washington County, so that their property is not listed by Washington County and did not appear on the Tigard mailing of notice. G Applicant provided a number of `easements', which purportedly were all that affect the proposed Refuge at Fanno Creek in his final rebuttal to the hearings officer. These easements do not include an important easement appropriate to this site. The Tigard Comprehensive Plan explicitly states as Policy 8.2.8 d.2 (Volume II, Policy 8-9) that "The City SHALL (my emphasis added) adopt the following auto and roadway improvement strategy in order to accommodate existing and planned land uses in the Washington Square Regional Center: Nimbus to Greenburg Connection: Extend SW Nimbus Avenue to meet Greenburg Road. This would be a 5-lane roadway with bike lanes and sidewalks, but no on-street parking." The proposed development does not include any easement for such roadway required by the Comprehensive Plan. Tigard approval of the Refuge at Fanno Creek thereby violates the mandatory requirements of its Comprehensive plan, effectively eliminating the possibility of the required roadway. In email correspondence with Tigard's Current Planning Director (Bewersdorff) dated January 6, 2006, he stated that "The City Engineer looked at the feasibility of construction of the collector. In early 2004, he estimated the cost of construction of the collector at $38 million and that it would not happen for 20 to 30 years, if ever built..... The City Engineer conditioned the Refuge approval to submit a plan to address the locational issues." Attachment D Such approval does not meet the Comprehensive Plan requirement to plan for the required roadway and- does not make any finding of feasibility; it is therefore an improper deferral of approval by the city. The City Engineer has no authority to override the Comprehensive Plan; if a plan change is desired, there is an established legislative method to make such change, which has not been used, again making the City's approval improper. The required roadway, which shows on drawings of the approved Washington Square Regional Center plan, passes exactly over the property involved in the Refuge at Fanno Creek application (see WSRC plan, a matter of record in Tigard). Tigard is obligated to implement ALL of the provisions of the WSRG plan when a development is proposed, not `cherry pick' those elements which it will follow. I would appreciate the opportunity to respond to testimony (evidence, arguments) by others along with enough time to analyze such testimony; two weeks is a normal practice n my a penence.

If the projected increase in surface water runoff leaving a proposed development will cause or contribute to damage from flooding to existing buildings or dwellings, the downstream stormwater system shall be enlarged to relieve the identified flooding condition prior to development, or the developer must construct an on-site detention facility. 3.05.3 Review of Downstream System a. For each development constructing new impervious surface of more than 5,000 square feet, or collecting and discharging more than 5,000 square feet of impervious area, the design engineer shall submit documentation, for review by the District, of the downstream capacity of any existing storm facilities impacted by the proposed development, except for the construction of a detached single family dwelling or duplex. The design engineer must perform a capacity and condition analysis of the drainage system downstream of the development. I) The analysis shall extend downstream to a point in the drainage system where the additional flow from the proposed development site constitutes 10 percent or less of the total tributary drainage flow. 2) If the additional flow from the proposed development drops to less than 10 percent of the total tributary drainage flow then the analysis will continue for the lesser of: a) One-quarter (1/4) of a mile; or b) Until the additional flow constitutes less than 5 percent of the total tributary drainage flow. b. When the downstream analysis does not continue for at least one-quarter (1/4) mile, the design engineer will provide a stamped Certification of Investigation that states the design engineer has visually investigated the downstream system for at least one-quarter (1/4) mile downstream and is aware of no observable downstream impacts to structures. 3.05.4 Conveyance System Hydraulic Standards The conveyance system shall be designed to convey and contain at least the peak runoff for the 25-year design storm. Structures for proposed pipe systems must be demonstrated to provide a minimum of 1.0 foot of freeboard between the hydraulic grade line and the top of the structure or finish grade above pipe for 25- year post development peak rate of runoff. Design surcharge in pipe systems shall not be allowed if it will cause flooding in portions of a habitable structure, Storm and Surface Water Rules Chapter 3 - - Page 24 y including below-floor crawl spaces, or otherwise create a hazard or danger to the health and safety of the public. The 25-year design shall be supplemented with an overland conveyance component demonstrating how a 100-year event will be accommodated. This overland component shall not be allowed to flow through or inundate an existing building. Flows in streets during the 25-year event shall not run deeper than 4 inches against the curb or extend more than two feet into the travel lane. Open channel systems shall be designed for minimum one foot freeboard from bank full provided no structures are impacted by the design water surface elevation. 3.05.5 Catch Basin System Standards a. Standard Catch Basin System: All catch basins shall be sumped. The main storm line shall not pass through any catch basins or sumped manholes unless approved by the District. No more than three catch basins may be connected in series before connecting to the main storm line. A ditch inlet or field inlet may be connected directly to the end of the main storm line. b. Series Catch Basin System: Unsumped catch basins are allowed, provided a sumped manhole is constructed below the unsumped catch basins before the flow enters the main storm line. No more than three unsumped catch basins may be constructed above a sumped manhole. The main storm line may not pass through the catch basins or sumped manholes. No ditch inlet or field inlet may be part of a series of unsumped catch basins. C. Flow-through Catch Basin System: This system is allowed within an arterial or major collector road, provided the main line storm pipe has a design velocity of at least three (3) feet per second. Unsumped catch basins, ditch inlets, and field inlets which are properly channelized are allowed to connect directly to the main storm line. An adequately sized water quality manhole is required at the downstream end of the flow- through system. 3.06 Storm Manhole and Pipe Design Standards 3.06.1 Application For pipe systems which convey flows from or through water quality sensitive areas; a local representative of Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) or other applicable state or federal agency shall be contacted to determine if fish passage is required and to identify site specific design criteria. All culverts shall be designed for fish passage in accordance with ODFW guidance for Fish Passage Storm and Surface Water Rules Chapter 3 - - Page 25 Page 1 of 1 John Frewing From: "Suzanne J Miller' <sjmiller@usgs.gov> To: <jfrewing@teleport.corh> Cc: "Suzanne J Miller' <sjmiller@usgs.gov> Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 9:32 AM Attach: 14206900.txt; 14206950.txt Subject: fanno creek John, Tom Herrett, of this office, asked me to run a recurrence interval for our 2 fanno creek sites, which I am attaching in a data file.

As maybe Tom told you, I am interested in Fanno Creek at North Dakota St in Tigard, which is midway between your two stations. It seems fair to me to say that at North Dakota Street, Fanno Creek flow was similarly not more than a 5-year flood. I am also interested in the flooding which occured in Ash Creek, a trib to Fanno Creek which joins Fanno Creek at North Dakota St in Tigard. It is roughly similar in watershed size to Fanno Creek above your SW 56 St station. I think your data for Fanno Creek at SW 56th St is roughly comparable to Ash Creek and again, it would be fair to say that the flooding at the mouth of Ash Creek in December again did not exceed more than a 5-year flood. I say this, recognizing that individual storm cells pass over Waft smaller watersheds and can produce flooding of greater or less magnitude than for a stream with larger watershed; but it would be very unlikely that a cell over Ash Creek in December, 2005 produced a 25, 50 or 100 year flood when a gaged nearby watershed of roughly similar size only saw flooding of less than a 5-year flood. Is my thinking correct regarding interpolation of flooding estimates between USGS stations and regarding transferrence (interpretation) of flooding data in reasonably nearby subbasins of similar size? I am not looking for extreme accuracy, but only a conclusion of whether or not flooding in Fanno Creek and Ash Creek at North Dakota St in Tigard exceeded a 25-year flood. Thanks, John Frewing r NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The following will be considered by the Tigard Hearings Officer on Monday November 14, 2005 at 7:00 PM at the Tigard Civic Center - Town Hall, 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, Oregon. Both public oral and written testimony is invited. The public hearing on this matter will be conducted in accordance with Chapter 18.390 of the Tigard Municipal Code, and the rules of procedures adopted by the Hearings Officer.

The old application number was SDR 2004-0006. The applicant let the application lapse and it expired. Under ORS 227.175, the $250 fee applies to those decisions where there was not a public hearing. The appeal fee for the refuge is $2387. As I am sure you are aware, the TSP establishes on a general location for a collector. It does not provide a specific alignment that can be used for construction. A specific alignment study is not in the capital improvements work program or their priorities. The City Engineer looked at the feasibility of construction of the collector. In early 2004, he estimated the cost of construction of the collector at $38 million and that it woud not happen for 20 to 30 years if ever built. Given the need for a more specific alignment and the lack of funds to do the study, the City Engineer conditioned the Refuge approval to submit a plan to address the locational issues. As you might guess, there are also significant nexus and proportionality limits for any specific development in relation to the proposed collector. Sincerely, Dick Bewersdorff Dick Bewersdorff dick@ci.ti arg d-or.gov "John Frewing" <jfrewing@teleport.com> 01/05 7:24 AM Dick, With the departure of Matt Scheidegger, who was the responsible planner, I write to you regarding several issues on Refuge at Fanno Creek. If there is a new planner responsible for this development, would you please forward these questions to him/her? 1. What was the application number/name for the earlier Black Bull development proposed for this site and what was the disposition of that application? 2. From the staff report, I believe that this application is being considered using a Type III procedure (Type IIIA); see page 34/55. Earlier this week, at city hall, Kristi told me that after consultation with you, the appeal fee for this development is some $2300. I looked 1/24/06 Page 2 of 2 up ORS 227.175 which governs development permits. In this statute, under subpara (10)(b), it states that the maximum appeal fee is $250. Could you confirm for me that the Oregon statute governs in this situation? Thanks very much. 3. How does the city permit this development at a site where the approved TSP shows a through public street connecting Nimbus with North Dakota, without requiring such street to be provided? In another case (Ash Creek Estates), the applicant proposes inclusion of a public street similarly shown on the TSP, saying that it is 'required' to do so. As you can surmise, I am considering an appeal of the hearing officer's decision on Refuge at Fanno Creek, so time is of the essence in getting answers to the above questions. Thanks very much.

AGENDA ITEM # I FOR AGENDA OF 1/24/06 CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE Consider Directing Staff to Apply for the 2006 Gang Resistance Education Awareness and Training (GREAT) Grant PREPARED BY: Lt. Rick Rhodes DEPT HEAD OK %UMD CITY MGR OK C ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Consider directing staff to apply for the Gang Resistance Education and Awareness Training (GREAT) Grant. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff Recommends Council direct staff to apply for the grant. INFORMATION SUMMARY If City Council authorizes the application, this will be the sixth year that the Tigard Police Department has applied for a GREAT grant. In years past, the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) To Be GREAT Summer Camp Program was awarded a grant in the amount of $23,767. The grant money covered the expenses to run Camp for four weeks. Changes have been made to this grant program. This year we are eligible for a maximum grant of $250,000 because of the number of programs we offer for youth. Another change is the requirement for a 10 percent match to any grant awarded; in the past, no match was required. If awarded an increased grant amount of $208,000, we will apply it to salary reimbursement for officers teaching GREAT and working in the Summer Camps which were ineligible costs under the past grant. The grant funds can also be used to send the Police Department Youth Services Officers to required training. In addition, grant funds would cover the cost of counselors for summer camp, necessary equipment and supplies to increase Summer Camp from four to six weeks allowing us to provide this service to an additional 80 at-risk youths. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Without this grant, the Summer Camp Program would be funded entirely from City of Tigard funds. COUNCIL GOALS AND TIGARD BEYOND TOMORROW VISION STATEMENT The Summer Camp program furthers the Council goal to Improve Communication and Relationship with Citizens - Connect Council with Students in Schools. This grant will enhance our commitment to our community's youth and directly support our goals for Schools, Education and Youth as listed in our vision statement by: I .

FISCAL NOTES The City of Tigard has annually budgeted $22,000 for DARE to be GREAT Summer Camp. In the past five years, we received reimbursement through the GREAT grant for approximately that amount. This $22,000 budget line item would more than cover the 10 percent matching cost for the $208,000 that we will be formally applying for. ra
