STAFF RECOMMENDATION Discuss and provide direction to staff. KEY FACTS AND INFORMATION SUMMARY • Council set a number of tasks to review and consider during 2009. One of these tas1z was to consider alternatives for Fifth Tuesday Council meetings. • The Council might decide to discontinue the Fifth Tuesday meetings, however, during a brief discussion on May 12, 2009, the City Council decided it would hold the June 30, 2009 meeting. • Attached is a May 11, 2009, memorandum prepared by City Recorder Wheatley giving the City Council background information and a It of citizen outreach efforts. Some of these efforts began after the 2004 decision to hold Fifth Tuesday Council meetings as one of the forums available to citizens to give input to the City Council. This memo also includes some alternatives suggested byMayor Dirksen for City CoLUncil consideration during its discussion. • Attached is a small list of some sites visited showing examples of how technology continues to change our methods of communication and how people might change their expectations about how they can access information and communicate with their local government.

One of the tasks was to consider alternatives for Fifth Tuesday meetings. There is time set aside during the June 9, 2009, study session for the City Council to discuss this matter. The first Fifth Tuesdaywas held November 30, 2004. The objective bythe City Council for inviting citizens to attend these informal meetings was to: • Hear and discuss citizen input for an interchange of ideas pertinent to the City and the issues that affect the City. Current Citizen Outreach Efforts Here is a list of some of the outreach efforts currently in place. A few these efforts were put into place after the 2004 decision to hold the Fifth Tuesday meetings. • Neighborhood Network Program • Cityscape restored to 8 pages and 12 issues per year o Cityscape publications posted on the City's website (September 2001 to present) o Mayor's coiner o Council meeting schedule is advertised in each issue • Listseivs for citizens who want notification when Council packets and agendas are published on the website. Staff also maintains and mails copies of agendas to persons who request this service. • Full Council packets are available at the Library. • Committee for Citizen Involvement Bylaws established with adoption of Resolution No. 07- 69. The CO is advisory to the City Council and charged with advising Council on matters pertaining to citizen involvement and communications. • Citizen communication time preserved for City Council business meetings. Follow-up on citizen communications reported by the City Manager during the televised City council meetings. • Council email addresses posted on the website. • Television broadcasts expanded to include workshop meetings. Special (extra) meetings are televised when possible. The TVCTV replay schedule is published on the Council agenda. DVDs of meetings are available at the Library. • Citywide surveys • Press releases • Events: Famdy-Fest; Booth at Balloon Festival • Boards, Committees and Task Forces • Webpage updated regularly PreliminarvList of an Alternative to the Fifth Tuesday Meetings When setting up the outline for this topic, I met with Mayor Dirksen regarding this Council Task Some of the ideas he suggested included the following whereby the City Council would select standing events or create times where City Council members are available to the public. (Public meeting requirements are a consideration when a quorum of City Council attends.) • Hold "coffees" consisting of one or two different Council members being available at changing locations on Fifth Tuesdays throughout the year. • On the 5th Tuesday, meet with all of the Neighborhood Network leaders. • Hold a "Meet and Greet" at a certain time during the Balloon Festival at the CityBooth. • Develop a forum for Town Halls. (See Attachment 1: Press Release from Representative Riley as an example). Questions for Council at May 12, Study Session: • Host a final Fifth Tuesday meeting (in the old format) on June 30, 2009? • What additional information would be helpful for the City Council's June 9 discussion on this topic?

Bristol UK- http://w-vvw.idea.gov.ulc/idk/core/page.do?pat!eld=7831705 e-Petitioner: new technology at the grassroots In a further innovation, Bristol City Council has introduced online petitions as part of its work to encourage more people to come forward and give their views. The e-Petitioner system is hosted on the council's website - www.bristol-city_.gov.uk/epetitions - and use has been growing fast since its launch in September 2004. It allows campaigners to publicise their petitions more widely than is possible through conventional methods such as door-knocking or stopping people in the street. The e-petition can run alongside a paper petition, and the two can be combined before being submitted to the council. The e-Petitioner site encourages campaigners to publish background information about their petition and start an online debate, giving people the chance to weigh up the arguments before deciding whether to support the petition or not. This also allows people who are opposed to the petition the chance to have their say, and enables people to give conditional support. These arguments can then give decision-makers a more balanced picture of public opinion. The e- Petitioner site shows all petitions received by the council and allows people to see what issues are being discussed that may affect them. It also allows people to track a petition's progress and see when a response has been made - or action taken - as a result of on or offline petitions. e-Petitions have so far covered a wide range of subjects, including the removal of `Banksy' street art, preserving Bristol's industrial museum, keeping Prince Street Bridge open to traffic and the collection of plastic for recycling. 2 600 NE Grand Ave. www,ot,egonmetro.gov Portland, OR 97232-2736 G t Metro ~ Memo 4~ ~ ~ j I'll a fco~yn Date: June 3, 2009 "D To: JPACT/MPAC From: Andy Cotugno Subject: RTP Revenue direction At the JPACT Retreat, we collected feedback from JPACT regarding the level of revenue increases to build the proposed project list around for finalizing the RTP. The purpose of this memo is to con firm direction to staff to bring back a draft set of project priorities consistent with this targeted funding level. Subject to review and corn ment in August on the draft project list, this will serve as the basis for submitting an adoption document for consideration by the Committee in September. In addition to the forecast of existing revenues, JPACT is requested to confirm sizing of the state RTP around the increases in revenues reflected in Table 1, with the following clarification: 1. Confirm city county OM&P based upon a 1/2-cent per year increase in t1 7e state gas tax with local or regional street utility fees or other local mechanism to meet a locally defined minimum standard. This is consistent with our past track record. 2. Confirm inclusion of SDC's at an assumed rate equivalent to at least the regional average plus indexing; higher in those jurisdictions so indicating. 3. Confirm inclusion of conventional vehicle fees (likely through the vehicle registration fee) from both state and'local/regional sources. Clarify the level equivalent to: a. $15/year increase every 8 years by the state plus $15/year increase every8 years by the region or local governments; OR b. $16/year increase every 8 years ($2 per year) by the state plus $8/year increase every 8 years ($1 per year) by the region or local governments. Either option is more aggressive than our past track record. 4. Confirm inclusion of any major highway projects that can't be funded within the resource level described above as projects at least partially funded through tolls. 5. Confirm sizing of the transit system expansion on the basis of a.2% increase in the payroll tax with the recognition that the second .10/o needs to be through other funding mechanisms. This level of funding would provide for- a, both expanded operating costs and increased funding for capital, including a greater local match contribution to PICT. b. Approximately 30 miles of expanded LRT. c. Approximately 1.00+ miles of expanded Frequent Bus routes. d. Expanded local service and streetcar service contingent upon local government support for associated capital improvements, i Page 2 of 3 The revenue increases above and listed in Table 1 would be in addition to the base of existing, committed revenue sources extrapolated into the fixture, as follows: 1. City/County Road-related Operations, Maintenance and Preservation a. Existing state shared highway trust fund distributed to cities and counties inclusive of revenues from FT13 2001. b. Existing locally imposed gas taxes and street utility districts. 2. City, County, State Road-related Modernization including bike/ped. TSMO, freight, etc. a. Federal highway funds from STP, CMAQ, earmarks with an inflation factor b. State trust fund revenues to ODOT earmarked for Modernization, including HB 2001 earmarks. c. Locally collected funds for Modernization including froin existing SDCs, existing MSTIP, urban renewal fund contributions. 3. Transit operations and expansion a. Federal transit funds distributed by formula plus an inflation factor; the historical portion of regional flex. Funds plus an inflation factor. b. Continuation of existing commitments of state shared resources. c. Locally collected funds for Modernization including from existing SDCs, existing MSTIP, urban renewal contributions. d.

The Transportation Policy Alternatives Committee (TPAC) and Metro Technical Advisory Committee (MTAC) reviewed the approach and system definition,: and support moving forward. The Joint Policy Advisory Committee on Transportation (JPACT) and the Metro Policy Advisory Committee (MPAC) will be asked to confirm this direction on June 10 and 11, respectively. . Action requested • Confirm regional transportation system definition (shown in Attachment 1). • Confirm system refinement criteria (shown in Attachment 2). • Confirm next steps for developing performance benchmarks for the "state" RTP investment strategy (shown in Attachment 3). Recommended Approach With MPAC and JPACT confirmation, staff will proceed with finalizing instructions and resource materials for local coordinating committees to use to complete the following three-step process: k t • Step 1: Review RTP goals and objectives, local aspirations submittals, mobility corridor atlas and needs assessment, current RTP project lists and subarea project maps and new priorities identified through regional plans and studies that are nearing completion. The purpose of this step is to identify gaps in potential solutions and priorities to be included in Steps 2 and 3. • Step 2: Update the federal priorities project list, consistent with Attachments 1 and 2, recognizing that no change may be needed. • Step 3: identify additional priority projects to include in the "state" RTP investment strategy, consistent with the JPACT recommended funding target and Attachments 1 and 2. Both project lists will be brought forward to JPACT and MPAC for review in August. Additional opportunities to refine the draft project lists will occur during the Fall 2009 adoption process as more information becomes available from the investment strategy analysis, subsequent policy advisory committee discussions and public comment. a 1s1 r A v Background In late-2009, a number of coordinated growth management decisions will be made through the Making the Greatest Place initiative, including approval of the 2035 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). Two levels of investment will be developed for the 2035 RTP. • The first level, the 2035 RTP Federal Priorities (also known as the Financially Constrained System), will represent the most critical transportation investments for the plan period.' • The second level, the "state" 2035 RTP Investment Strategy, will represent additional priority investments that would be considered for funding if new or expanded revenue sources are secured. This level of investment is tied to the revenue assumptions and funding target recommended by JPACT. The "state" RTP Investment Strategy will be developed to be adequate to serve planned land uses and will be the basis for future local and regional land use decisions. A number of Making the Greatest Place and RTP-related efforts will be completed later this spring and summer- including documenting local aspirations and finalizing the regional freight plan, the high capacity transit plan and the Transportation System Management and Operations (TSMO) plan. Each of these efforts will identify additional priority investments for the region to consider as the RTP is finalized by the end of 2009. At the JPACT retreat, JPACT supported the approach for developing the state RTP investment strategy and discussed the need for agreement on a definition of the regional transportation system. In addition, JPACT directed staff to develop a set of specific performance benchmarks that include greenhouse gas emissions, land use, public health and equity measures. On May 29, 2009, the Transportation Policy Alternatives Committee (TPAC) recommended JPACT confirm the regional transportation system definition and overall approach, including directing staff to develop a set of performance benchmarks for JPACT and MPAC consideration in August. Attachment 1 provides an updated regional transportation system definition recommended for JPACT and MPAC consideration. Projects on facilities identified in Attachment 1, and corresponding RTP system maps, are eligible to be included in the project lists that are developed this summer. Attachment 2 provides staff with system refinement criteria to use to update the current federal priorities project list and build the i035 "state" RTP investment strategy this summer. The criteria were developed to reflect M PAC and JPACT investment priority direction provided in Fall 2008. This work will focus on integrating land use and individual RTP-related efforts into a comprehensive, multi-modal investment strategy that supports the 2040 Growth Concept and meets other goals of the RTP - including responding to local aspirations and such pressing concerns as climate change. The 2035'RTP Federal Priorities will be the basis for findings of consistency with federal metropolitan transportation planning factors, the Clean Air Act and ether planning provisions identified in SAFETEA•LU. 2 The 2035 "state" RTP Investment Strategy will be the basis for findings of consistency with the Statewide Planning Goal 12, the Oregon Transportation Planning Rule and the Oregon Transportation Plan and its components. Page 2 Attachment 3 summarizes proposed next steps for developing performance benchmarks for the RTP. Staff recommends this work be conducted by the RTP Work Group during the summer in coordination with development of High Capacity Transit (HCT) system expansion targets and defining an on-going monitoring system for the region's mobility corridors. The benchmarks will be drawn from Federal and State plans, policies and legislation, consider other benchmark efforts in the region (such as the Portland Plan) and build on the previous work of the RTP Performance Work Group. Recommended schedule and approval process June 10 and 11 MPAC and JPACT confirm approach and funding strategy elements, regional system definition, and next . steps for developing performance benchmarks for the RTP. June 15 -July 29 Local coordinating committees (staff-level) update project list with land use and trails staff. Project list refinements, additions and deletions are due-to Metro by 5 p.m. on July 29. Local coordinating committees (policy-level) endorse updated project list and "state" RTP investment strategy projects. RTP work group develops RTP performance benchmarks for MPAC and JPACT consideration in August. July .9 JPACT discussion of Transportation System Management and Operations (TSMO) plan and Regional Freight and Goods Movement plan recommendations, and RTP "parking lot" issues to be addressed through post-RTP adoption activities or the next RTP update. August 12 and 13 MPAAC and JPACT discuss draft project list, funding strategy and policy refinements, including performance benchmarks. August-September Metro staff begin system analysis and compile updated draft investment strategy (project list), funding strategy and policy refinements (Chapter 3). September 15 - October 15 30-day public comment period held on draft investment strategy (project list), funding strategy and policy refinements (Chapter 3). The timing and location of public comment opportunities is under development. October-December JPACT, MPAC and Metro Council review public comments, preliminary system analysis, recommended amendments and consider approval (by Resolution) of investment strategy (project list), funding strategy and policy refinements (Chapter 3). , The approval action also directs staff to complete final system and conformity analysis, prepare regional, state and federal findings and a final document, and develop regional transportation functional plan amendments to guide local plan implementation for final adoption (by Ordinance) in June 2010.

In particular, regional partners raised concerns that the overall regional system definition may be too broad and may extend beyond facilities and services that are of regional interest. In addition, the Joint Policy Advisory Committee on Transportation (JPACT) directed staff to include a definition of what constituted a regional bridge and consider the appropriateness of designating collector facilities as part of the regional "Streets and Throughways System," Metro committed to addressing this issue during the state component of the update, and brought the issues forward for discussion by the RTP Work Group in February 2009. JPACT members also raised the policy questions at the retreat held on May 22. TPAC RECOMMENDATION ON CHANGES TO REGIONAL SYSTEM DEFINITION On May 29, the Transportation Policy Alternatives Committee (TPAC) recommended JPACT approval of changes to the regional transportation system definition, as shown in Attachment 1. Expand the definition to more specifically define regional bridges' based on the function they serve, recognizing their importance to the overall function of the regional transportation system. • Remove the "collectors of regional significance" designation from the RTP, except for those facilities that are otherwise identified in Attachment 2. The 2004 RTP designated "Collectors of Regional Significance" on the Regional Motor Vehicle Functional Classification System Map. These facilities had the intended function of connecting the arterial system and the local collector system to: (3) ensure adequate access to the primary and secondary land-use components of the 2040 Growth Concept; (2) allowF dispersion of arterial level traffic over a number of lesser facilities where an adequate collector street network exists; and (3) define appropriate collector level movement between jurisdictions. In reality, several of these facilities are designated as collectors in local plans, yet they serve as "minor arterial" or "major arterial" routes, carrying longer-distance, regional level traffic. In some cases, it may be appropriate to change the designation of the facility to a major or minor arterial classification for purposes of the RTP. In other cases a traffic management plan may be appropriate to protect the desired function of an individual facility. This summer, Metro and local agencies staff will further evaluate the appropriateness of a major arterial or minor arterial designation for the facilities affected by this recommendation. IMPLICATIONS FOR RTP INVESTMENT STRATEGY JPACT is requested to confirm the regional system definition shown in Attachment 1. Facilities.described in Attachment 1 are eligible for inclusion in tFle RTP investment strategy to be developed this summer. } 1 Oregon Revised Statues (ORS) provisions and Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) bridge definitions definition were used as a starting point. I 'ATTACHMENT to Attachment REGIONAL SYSTEM DEFINITION EXCERPTED FROM 2035 RTP (adopted Dec. 2007) - significant changes ar-e highlighted in strikethrough and underscoi°e. "3.4.9 Regional Transportation System Definition Multi-modal regional transportation facilities and services are defined both functionally acid geographically. A facility or service is part of the regional transportation system if it provides access to any activities crucial to the social or economic health of the Portland metropolitan region, including connecting the region to other parts of the state and Pacific Northwest, and providing access to and within 2040 Target areas, as described below. Facilities: that connect different parts of the region together by crossing county or city boundaries are crucial' to the regional transportation system. Any link that provides access to or within a major regional activity 4 center such as an airport or 2040 target area, is also a crucial element of the regional transportation system, as 1 described below. As a result, the regional transportation system is currently Regional Transportation defined as. System Components 1.

Regional system naps in Chapter 3 further establish the geography and focus of regional transportation system investments. Together, these facilities, services and strategies constitute an integrated and interconnected system that supports planned land use as well as all modes of travel for people and goods movement to achieve the goals of the RTP.

June 3, 2009 In addition to providing, direction on the types of investments that should be emphasized in the "state" RTP investment strategy, it is also important to recognize that different parts of the region are at different stages of implementing the 2040 Growth Concept - ranging from largely undeveloped areas that are recent additions to the urban growth boundary to largely developed areas whether growth will be primarily accommodated through infill and redevelopment, As a result, different areas may have different transportation investment needs and priorities to support local and regional aspirations for 2040 Growth Concept implementation at the community level. Substantial public and private investment that is guided by clearly defined investment priorities will be required over the long-term.

The RTP timeline does not allow for development of specific benchmarks prior to staff development of the state RTP Investment Strategy. However, the RTP Work Group will develop benchmarks in coordination with the Making the Greatest Place effort and development of High Capacity Transit (HCT) system expansion targets this summer. The benchmarks will be drawn from Federal and State plans, policies and legislation where possible, consider other benchmark efforts in the region (such as the Portland Plan) and build on the previous work of the RTP Performance Work Group. The results of that work will be brought to JPACT and MPAC for consideration in August. Overview of RTP Evaluation Framework The primary aim of the RTP is to implement the Region 2040 vision for land use, transportation, the economy, and the environment. To accomplish this, the 2035 RTP update is embracing new ways to think more holistically and strategically about how to efficiently and effectively move people and freight around and through the Portland metropolitan region. A key element is the development and application of an outcomes-based evaluation framework that considers economic, community and environmental benefits and impacts as shown in Figure 2. Figure 1. RTP Outcomes-Based Performance Measure Framework + ta r rp ~ ~ a ~ M 4 r j Benefits s . ma w a"a ~ ° tµ Sri r and 0 ~ r Impacts m' t N r ^tir,/ t( =4tI Aft+l~, ~.~tt a Y~ b ~ I What Are Performance Benchmarks and Why Use Them? The RTP defines performance benchmarks as quantitative representations of the level and timing of results (or outcomes) that the region` hopes to achieve through a plan or program - including specific environmental, land-use, economic and transportation-related objectives. Benchmarks can also be used i m f of to-~ Attachment 3 ` Next Steps for Developing Performance Benchmarks for System Evaluation June 3, 2009 to comparatively assess actual achievements overtime. Benchmarks`need not be constrained by what a particular investment strategy may be able to achieve. They can be outcomes that are desirable, but the region may have difficulty reaching. In addition, benchmarks could elevate the dialogue about transportation and its role in meeting regional and state objectives, including reducing our region's contribution to climate change. The benchmarks will provide a measuring stick to evaluate whether the draft RTP investment strategy is moving the region in the, desired direction, and are not intended to be used for project level analysis or evalaution. Benchmarks are recommended to be identified for each of the three RTP Evaluation Framework categories-economy, environment and community-to integrate transportation, land use, economic, r environmental, public health and equity objectives. The benchmarks will be drawn from Federal and State plans, policies and legislation where possible and be supplemented by the previous work of the RTP Performance Work Group. Benchmarks are also planned to be developed this summer for expanding the HCT system as part of the system expansion policy, and for on-going monitoring system of the region's mobility corridors (e.g, safety and travel time reliability, which cannot be modeled at this time.) Table 1 lists a sample set of system-level performance benchmarks recommended to use as a starting point. Table 1. Sample System-Level Performance Benchmarks Economy Job creation - By 2035, increase the number of new jobs in centers and employment and industrial areas by XX percent compared to 2000.

Source: Adapted from Transportation for America, National Performance Objectives and Targets. OR Equitable Access - By 2035, increase by 50 percent the number of low-income, minority, senior and disabled populations within 1/2-mile of high capacity transit or X-mile of frequent bus service compared to 2000. In many cases, the RTP investment strategy may not meet a specified target. As more information becomes: available from the investment strategy analysis and subsequent policy advisory committee discussions and public comment, the benchmarks can be adjusted or additional analysis can be directed to occur After the current RTP update. Further analysis and policy-development is recommended to be conducted through the Regional Mobility Program after the current RTP update to develop mobility corridor-level performance benchmarks. Consistent with the High Capacity Transit plan evaluation methodology, essential destinations are defined as: hospitals and medical centers, major retail sites, major social service centers (with more than 200 monthly LIFT pick-up counts), colleges and universities, employers with greater than 1,500 employees, sports and attraction sites and major government sites. b ° Page 3 4,A IR~T( A COUNTY OREGON June 2, 2009 unty Coordinating Committee r~n Co TO Mhig FROM htdia, Director Land Use and Transportation SUBJECT: WCCC MEETING AGENDA DATE: Monday June 8, 2OU9 TIME: 12:00 PM -1:30 PM PLACE: Beaverton City Library 12375 SW 5cn St. City of Beaverton AGENDA 1.

Tech Heads Inc. was founded in 1995 as a small slmcftq. consulting business dedicated to helping small to mid-sized business with their technology needs. I am happy to say that the City of Tigard has used our services on multiple occasions. We looped for property for many years t r.i--~,su`tt that we could use for our business, In 1999 we purchased the property on 7060 W Beveland Rd., in the Tigard Triangle. The property was listed as by the realtor as corninercial and was purchased with a commercial loan. We have been operating our business from 1999 - 2008 without any violations or complaints. In March of 2008, we received a letter from the City that stated that we were in violation of city code because we converted a residential building to commercial use without going through the rcgLiired permitting process. They also stated that the city records showed that no prior such land use was approved for our property and they gave us two options, either agree to an site development review and agree to all of its conditions, or vacate the property of all commercial use. We had question about what the city meant when they stated that we converted the property when we actually did nothing. We hired an architect and met with Cheryl Caines and. Kim McMillen. We conveyed to their that the development they wanted us to perform would cost approximately $300,000, not to mention they wanted to take back a significant chuck of land that the city had abandoned to the previous owner. After some discussion they said that they might only make us improve one street if we agree to give them the property. We still did not understand what we were in violation of but wanted to work with the city to solve the problem. We continued to have the architect work on the reN iew. We went to the city and acquired a copy of the code and it contained information about rough proportionality. We could not ourselves understand how our business that had no customers visiting our site and very little employee traffic, because all but two of our employees work at customer sites, could generate and. impact requiring improvement to the magnitude the city wanted. At this point we asked the city about rough proportionality, the city responded and cited the triangle code, but never told us how it concluded that the small amount of traffic fiorn our business met the rough proportionality tests. Then after a few letters back and forth the city changed their mind and stated that we would have make improvements both streets. On April, 2 2008, we received a second voluntary compliance agreement, with a letter that said we had to have a review in by June 1, 2008 or vacate by July 1, 2008. At this point we hired an attorney, to help us communicate with the city. He continued to ask the question of rough proportionality and the taking of the property, but got little response back. On May 9, 2008 we received a letter from the city with a final Voluntary Compliance Agreement and that the case was already reviewed by code enforcement, they listed. 3 violations dating back to March 3, 2008. Again we were reluctant to sign or agree to anything because our basic questions were not getting answered. We attempted to„Ct some discovery from the city, including the cities analysis of the mu h proportionality test, but were told that their was no case pending against us, so no discovery was needed. At this point all comnrnunications stopped and we thought it was resolved, so we decided to put the property up for sale. In October, we received our first fon-nal citation from the city, alleging 3 violations at 250 per day per violation dating back to :March 3, 2008, for a total of over $260,000.00. This was our first notice of an actual fine and I must say we were shocked. At the same time we did receive one offer. As part of the offer, we were to rent it back for a period of time, when we questioned it the real estate broker said that the new buyer worked out a deal with the city. This was totally against what the city wanted us to do. The offer had too many contingencies so we did not accept it, but it made us want to try again with the city to work something out. We hired a second architect, Jay Harris, who had done a lot of work in the triangle.: He talked to the city and worked out another agreement with Albert Shields on Feb 25, 2009 to only develop Beveland and wait until all property owners get together to develop 70"' and the fines would be dropped. He worked up a new plan and submitted it to the city. Once again the cite changed their mind and came back and stated that we have to develop both streets, give up the property and pay all fines. After the formal violation we pressed the city for more discover and found out that at the time the city charged us with converting our residential property to commercial use, it knew that we did no such thing. In fact we learned in 1991. that the city granted commercial use to our seller, ackm°mowledging that the property had been converted to commercial long before. We also learned that in 1997 the issue resurfaced and the city reaffirmed to our seller that the property had been converted to business use and could continue commercial use. I have the letter right hei-e and I will read it At this point we pulled the new site plan and are amvaiting a hearing at the end of this month regarding the alleged violations. What brings us to this meeting is our plea for help. We do not understand why the city keeps promising one thing only to negate it in the future. We are asking some basic questions about rough proportionality and the taking of land and get no response back from the city. We have been Q '4. a trying to work with the city since day one. We do not understand haw we can receive a first fuze notice of 260,000.00. We are a small business trying to make it work like many other: businesses. We cannot afford 300,000 of improvements and an unwarranted 260,000 of fine plus 750 per day while this is settled. We have spent a lot of money on site development reviews by two separate firms only to be rejected at the last minute. We have made minor updates to our property to handle two handicap workers. These costs would clearly put us out of business from what we can see no crime was committed. We bought a piece of property, l l years ago, that was the city knew that was converted to conunercial long before we bought. T think these allegations should be dropped along with it fines.

Bud Bailey, regarding the non-conforming status of your property. Based on the documentation provided by Mr. Bailey, it appears that your site does in fact have a pre- existing non-conforming use that has been recognized by the City. Because the use is pre-existing non-conforming, no further land use action is required to continue the operation, provided it is not discontinued for more than six months. Thank you for bringing the past communications and non-conforming status to our attention and for your prompt attention to this matter. We apologize for any inconvenience that may have been caused. I will forward this letter to our Code Enforcement Officer and the file will be closed. I am also updating our computer to reflect documentation that the commercial activity at the location referenced above is pre-existing non- conforming, so hopefully you will not receive further notices in the future.

A county fleet maintenance yard off Fox Hollow Boulevard east of U.S. 19 near Port Richey and land earmarked for an expanded recreation center in Land O'Lakes are now home to 190-foot-tall poles holding American flags measuring 600 square feet. But commerce and communication, not patriotic pride, are the reasons for the oversized flags. They are disguising privately owned cellular telecommunication towers leased on public land. The attempts to mitigate aesthetic concerns deserve kudos. The flag poles are preferable to the awkward-looking pine tree disguises that some phone companies have used elsewhere. "They don't look like pine trees. They look like cell towers trying to look like pine trees," Assistant County Administrator Dan Johnson observed correctly. The flag pole design is pleasing to the eye, and the towers provide unobjectionable landmarks in a flat-landscaped county that limits the height of commercial buildings to 35 feet. A giant flag pole certainly is preferably to much of the rest of the visual clutter so prominent on and near U.S. 19. The flag pole in Land O'Lakes, incidentally, is a coincidental precursor to development of the 40-acre park expansion. The county expects to award a bid of slightly less than $6.1-million May 23, with construction scheduled to begin June 6 and finish 10 months later. The new cell tower flag pole is almost dead center in the 40 acres. We have never been big fans of putting cell towers in parks, but federal law requires local governments to accommodate cellular towers to cure so-called dead zones that don't receive reliable cellular service. Parks, however, should be a last resort, and only when a gap in coverage exists. That has been the case in some central Pasco locations between State Roads 54 and 52. A similar cellular telephone tower, also disguised as a flag pole, was erected several months ago at the Lake Padgett Estates East privately controlled park in Land O'Lakes. Some locales around the country have seized upon the idea of leasing property for cell towers to fatten up government bank accounts, and even some Pasco commissioners indicated several years ago a willingness to lease county land for the towers. But economic times have changed. The county no longer finds itself near the state property tax rate limit, and a sustained construction boom has helped the revenue side of local governments' budgets. Seeking a few bucks from the wireless telephone industry - the leases are for $1,200 monthly - no longer is a priority. The recreation center in Land O'Lakes isn't the first county park to get a cell tower. Pasco previously authorized one in Oak Ridge Park in Seven Springs to stave off pending litigation. The lawsuit came after commissioners, hearing objections from area homeowners, turned down a proposed cellular tower behind a strip shopping center, just north of the park. Now the tower adjoins the light poles on the two softball diamonds there. Though the cell tower dwarfs the the light poles by more than 100 feet, a thick grove of oaks, pines and other trees abuts the outfield fences and helps to buffer the adjoining neighborhood. Cellular towers are necessary to serve people determined to talk on wireless phones no matter where they are. Homeland Secwity concerns, meanwhile, emphasized the need to eliminate dead zones. Considering the ugly alternatives, give Pasco County,credit for mandating a cellular tower design that will have some people ready to stand up and salute. cC 2007 • All Rights Reserved • St. Petersburg Times 490 First Avenue South • St. Petersburg, FL 33701 •727-893-8111 Contact the Times i Privacy PolicX I Standard of Accuracy I Terms, Conditions & Copyright bV C 4±'; Elm Tree Cat Scratch Towers Photos Trees Linden Tree Index Noteworthy Plants Trivia Lemnaceae Biology 101, Botany Search Cell Phone Trees © W.P.

Unlike most palms and gymnosperms that take many decades to grow, these "new" trees appear within days. They are commonly used in indoor landscaping and to camouflage unsightly communication towers. ~I 1:: I GOWA Armstrong 2044 Can you tell which of these cypress branches is real and which one is fake? Ce00 Phone Frees in order for us to communicate over cell phones, it is necessary to have a new type of telephone pole called a cell phone tower (or cell phone antenna) placed at proper intervals along our highways and byways. The density of these towers is directly proportional to the human population density. This mathematical principle called "cell tower proliferation" is a new subject for urban ecologists. Unlike unsightly telephone poles spanned by wires, cell phone towers are solitary structures. Cell phone towers transmit radio waves and must be placed above ground, unlike subterranean telephone cables. Wireless cell phones send and receive messages using radiofrequency energy in the 800-900 megahertz portion of the radiofrequency (RF) spectrum. Directional antennas on the towers divide a geographical area into regions of service called "cells." Different cell phone carriers use separate antennas on the same tower. Rather than have obtrusive towers cluttering our cities and countryside, they are now being disguised in many clever ways. Some of these covert forms include trees, cactus, gas station signs, boulders, and even church steeples. Tree towers resembling araucaria trees have six tiers of horizontal branches, each tier bearing a carrier antenna cluster. Each antenna cluster services a separate cell phone carrier. r F a 1 r P . aye f!i1 W.R Artristrotag 2 704 rj , i if ' These cell phone trees superficially resemble Douglas firs of the Pacific northwest.

Armstrong 2004 k`J Armstrong 20Q4 These cell phone trees superficially resemble Douglas firs of the Pacific northwest. in order to service increasing numbers of users, cells have to be made smaller. These smaller cells are called "microcells" compared with traditional cell towers that covered a 10 mile cell. Microcells today are often less than one mile, depending on the local population density. In northern San Diego County, I have counted three cell phone towers in the span of one mile. In 2002, industry officials stated that there were more than 128,000 cell phone towers across America. On a Sunday drive in northern San Diego County, I am amazed at how many people are unaware that the lovely evergreens near houses and along roads are cell phone towers. rt 11 17 s , , =tea }91 L w i+il { .ti ,~'r IJ '`:fit } ~ . . r a F r:.

They do not have the fall colors of deciduous trees and they usually do not litter the ground. Z ~ 'p >r 'All t' QW.P. Armstrong 2004 The leaves sometimes fall from cell phone trees. Along Mission Road between the cities of San Marcos and Vista, there are three species of these recently evolved trees within a span of one mile. They represent three major groups of Xf vascular plants, including palms, conifers and broad-leafed angiosperms. The broad-leafed angiosperm cell phone tree is an evergreen resembling a magnolia. This is yet another 11 example of convergent evolution. There are no deciduous cell phone trees that change colors and drop their leaves during the fall months. Cell phone trees are completely resistant to drought, bark beetles and other insect pests. They are also immune to root rot and other devastating fungal parasites. They never grow or need pruning, and they maintain their shape indefinitely. Unlike living trees, cell phone trees do not require water or mineral nutrients. In fact, they do well in just about any type of soil, even solid concrete. They are not particular about exposure; they can survive in the shade of a large building or in full sunlight. In addition, cell phone trees do not produce pollen or stinky, messy fruits. They are a godsend to hay fever sufferers. 104 LWOR Vow- -ON 1 i ajJ/fJ ' : r 1AA IPA 4 AIN 0'C LV.P.

They do well under a variety of slopes and exposures; however, nearby living trees might suffer from overshadowing, especially if they are shade intolerant.

Camouflage to some 5. This neighbor has a lovely view for eating out back 6. This neighbor too, has a wonderful close up view of the camouflaged tower 7. More great views for other neighbors (dark stormy weather doesn't help much) 8. View from another side (103`a toward Lady Marion) 9. Lots of people live nearby the camouflaged tower In fact, it is visible from the vicinity of 98' and Summerfield Drive. 10. What appears to be a camouflaged site on Hwy 99 near Avamere 11. 3 towers near the fire station at the Tualatin River on Hwy 99 12. A cell site across from Home Depot in Sherwood on Hwy 99 (different style) 13. Approaching St Margaret's Church, Palm Desert CA. from the back parking area Cell tower tree visible ahead 14. Another angle at St. Margaret's on back approach 15, zoom in on tree at St Margaret's 16. St. Margaret's 17. St. Margaret's on the upper side 18. St. Margaret's 19. St. Margaret's 20. Hwy 74 in Palm Desert where St Margaret's is located. 21. Another camouflage site from our side yard. Slight zoom. See the tree? 22. Real zoom........ now do you see the tree? Still tolerable and an old one. We didn't see it until our neighbor showed us. You never do notice them as they always blend in with the surroundings. 23.

TRAFFIC CONTROL ON SHARED FACILITIES (SCHOLLS FERRY ROAD AND HALL BOULEVARD) - DISCUSSION Scholls Fgr!:y Road Tigard Right-of-Way Administrator McCarthy briefly reviewed jurisdictional responsibility and control of Scholls Ferry Road. Mayor Dirksen advised he knew of no plans by the City of Tigard for changes or improvements. He asked if the City of Beaverton had any plans. Beaverton Public Works Director Brentano advised Washington County received an Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) grant last year. The grant was to allow the County to equip all of the major traffic signals in the County with the flashing yellow arrow left-tum signal. The County is now in the process of bidding for that work. Mr. Brantano said he believes the contract will be issued prior to the end of this fiscal year. City of Beaverton has agreed to support the County JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - APRIL 7, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 wwtv.tigard-or.gov I Page 1 of 21 in this effort on Scholls Ferry Road and Murray Boulevard. In exchange, the County has agreed to accelerate the replacement of the left-turn arrows on those streets. 6:36:18 PM Mr. Brentano reported that Metro was successful in their grant application for Federal stimulus funds to replace traffic signal controllers at 277 intersections throughout the metropolitan area. These signals will allow real-time monitoring of traffic at intersections and better inter-connect devices to monitor traffic flows. They will also allow the later installation of the type of devices that will be implemented on Farmington Road in the City of Beaverton as part of a Federal grant to monitor traffic at real-time and adjust signal timing in response to the demand. 6:37:08 PM Mayor Dirksen advised that the City of Portland has also received a grant to change out these types of signals on 99W through the City of Tigard from the I-5 ramp to Durham Road. 6:37:45 PM Councilor Buehner noted she had written to the County, as a citizen, asking if the signals at 135"' Avenue and Barrows Road could be better coordinated. Mr. Brantano said he thinks the County has wanted to close the intersection at Barrows Road because they believe this would improve traffic management. The new signal controllers will provide a greater opportunity to make some adjustments. At this time, the County does not allow their signals on major highways to go into a "demand responsive mode." Mr. Brantano said it was his hope that County officials will recognize the efficiency of these internal controllers. 6:39:41 PM Mayor Dirksen said in recent discussions with the County about Barrows Road and Barrows Road Bridge and the potential closure of the intersection, the position of the City of Tigard was that we would prefer a right-turn in and out of the intersection at the time the signal is removed. Councilor San Soucie asked if there were circumstances under which the County would relinquish traffic signal management to a city. Mr. Brantano he was not aware of this type of situation. 6:41:19 PM In response to a question from Councilor Stanton, Mr. Brantano advised that the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) received the grant to improve the signals. Essentially, it will be ODOT equipment given to local jurisdictions for installation. There is no immediate plan for interconnects. The City of Beaverton is connected to the ODOT and Portland systems, which facilitates coordination. Mr. McCarthy advised that as part of another Tigard project, the signals on 99W would be connected to the downtown Portland signal center. The flashing yellow arrows and the signal controller upgrades will be done as two separate projects. JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -APRIL 7, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 www.iigard-or.gov I Page 2 of 21 Councilor Stanton commented on safety concerns. She noted that when people use Scholls Ferry Road, they tend to drive faster than necessary to "beat that light" In response to a question from Councilor Stanton, Mr. McCarthy said there are strict criteria used to evaluate whether a flashing yellow should be installed. Councilor Stanton pointed out that, according the list she was referring to, every signal between Conestoga and Barrows Road appears to be scheduled for a flashing yellow light Mr. McCarthy said those signals meet the state criteria. Monitoring will be done after installation of the yellow lights and changes can be made if needed. Council President Wilson advised that Tigard would soon be updating its Transportation System Plan (TSP). He asked how this can be coordinated on Scholls Ferry Road, which is a County Road affecting both Tigard and Beaverton. Currently, the Tigard TSP calls for widening the road from the freeway to 130`}' Avenue. This is an expensive project. Council President Wilson said 4,000 additional homes are planned for Areas 63 and 64 and he was wondering about the plans for Scholls Ferry Road. Mr. McCarthy said both Tigard and Beaverton are beginning work on their TSP's. Representatives are involved from both jurisdictions during the planning for each other's TSPs. 6:47:11 PM Councilor Buehner asked about the timing of the extension of Davies Road. Mr. Brantano advised that much of this area is in wetland so much of the extension from Davies to Barrows would be a bridge. In today's cost, this represents about a $7-10 million project Councilor Stanton noted projects that have been on the Beaverton Capital Improvements Plan since 1972. She said her personal commitment is to do some of the older projects in established neighborhoods before dollars are spent on new connections. 6:48:32 PM Mayor Doyle referred to an earlier comment from Councilor San Soucie. He said that about 12 years ago he asked how a city could gain control of an intersection the County currently controls. He was told then that it was a matter of money. He suggested that either Tigard or Beaverton staff ask the County if there is ability for a city to take over management of the signals when its residents are impacted by how the signals are functioning at an intersection. 6:49:27 PM Hall Boulevard Council President Wilson said that on Hall Boulevard approaching the Washington Square entrance, there is a right-turn only lane on Hall Boulevard followed by a short travel lane, which then becomes another right-turn only lane. He noted it would appear to be an inexpensive, easy fix to correct this transportation-flow problem. Mayor Dirksen added that from the information before them, it appears that staff has discussed this with ODOT. City Engineer Due-nas said he thought ODOT would support the project if some other jurisdiction would pay for it This is a state route and historically local jurisdictions have been "hands off," although recently Tigard has been assisting with projects to improve 99W. Mr. JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - APRIL 7, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.rigard-or.gov Page 3 of 21 Duenas said it might be a good time to approach ODOT to determine if the cities participate, if this project could be completed. Mayor Dirksen asked about what it would take to estimate the construction costs. Mr. Duenas advised he did not think it would be difficult; conceptually, it looks feasible with enough right-of-way available. Mayor Dirksen suggested staff determine a "ballpark" figure for the project. 6:52:49 PM 3. BARROWS ROAD BRIDGE REPAIR - DISCUSSION Community Development Director Bunch introduced this topic. He corrected an error on the Agenda Item Summary for this item. He said he referred to four parties participating on this project; however, there would be only three: Washington County, City of Tigard, and the City of Beaverton. City Engineer Duenas reviewed the bridge repair project, which would get 15-20 years' use of a replacement bridge. This would allow keeping Barrows Road open. The cost for each of the parties would be $69,000 assuming that the costs remain within the estimate. Also under discussion is joint jurisdiction of Barrows Road after project completion. Negotiations are underway regarding the level of the upgrade. A draft Intergovernmental Agreement is being circulated and once the IGA is approved, the project can commence. The County plans to start this project in mid July and complete it by mid-August. At some time in the future, there might be a right-in, right-out at Barrows Road to Scholls Ferry Road. The County has included this intersection for a flashing yellow-arrow signal, which will help significantly. In response to a question from Councilor San Soucie regarding the cities taking responsibility for a portion of Barrows Road, Mr. Duenas said he would foresee a negotiated IGA between Beaverton and Tigard. Mr. Brantano advised there is an existing IGA for the western section of Barrows Road that runs from Walnut Street to Loon and Scholls Ferry Road. Councilor Arnold clarified the topic under discussion for the public. The County was proposing to close off the failing Barrows Road Bridge. Neighborhood groups from the cities approached Washington County requesting this bridge be kept open. Mayor Dirksen added the resulting proposed partnership among the three jurisdictions was a great way to address this matter. Barrows Road is no longer on the list of significant roads within the County, which has led the County to request that once the bridge has been repaired that the two cities take on the responsibility of the jurisdiction for the road, which seems reasonable. In response to a question from Councilor Stanton, Mr. Duenas advised that ODOT would not have jurisdiction over Barrows Road. He added that a right-in, right-out from Scholls and Barrows would be considered workable right now by the County. Over the long-term, he said this should be removed after the Davies extension is completed. Councilor Stanton said she would like to see some commitment from the County before the cities committed to oversight and funding. Mayor Dirksen commented that from his discussions with County staff and elected officials, their major goal appears to get rid of the left-turn. He did not hear any adverse JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - APRIL 7, 2009 Cityof Tigard 13125 Spa Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 Nvwcv.6gard-or.gov I Page 4 of 21 reaction to keeping it open as right-in, right-out until Davies could be opened. Mayor Dirksen said Councilor Stanton made a good point that this be included as a condition in the IGA. There was additional discussion on whether the County would be concerned about commitments by future elected officials from the cities regarding Barrows Road. Councilor Stanton suggested a higher comfort level if the cities would include this in their CIP and TSP. Councilor San Soucie asked if the County has modified the status of this intersection in the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) update. Mr. Duenas said he recalled that the intersection is not shown on the RTP, and he referred to the long-term plan for the Davies Road extension to Barrows. Mayor Dirksen said with the replacement bridge and the ability to use a right-in, sight-out turn, there will be 20 years available to construct the Davies-Barrows connection. Council President Wilson commented that the sight-in, sight out is better than nothing; however, left-in is a major direction that people want to travel. He said he uses that intersection everyday and he hoped the County would evaluate the impact of a flashing yellow before they decide to close it. Mr. Brantano referred to a new commercial center being developed in this area. The intention of the developer is to create a small community feel in the course of what otherwise would be a suburban type of highway. There will be additional traffic signals installed in that section of Barrows. The intention is to reduce speeds and cut-through traffic that is now using Barrows Road. Part of the problem with the left-turn from Scholls Ferry Road to Barrows is that there is a fair amount of cut-through traffic that now uses Barrows Road to bypass Scholls Ferry Road and reconnect at Scholls at the west end of Barrows. When the new center is complete, the traffic volumes might shift yet again if the traffic speeds are reduced significantly because of the increased number of traffic signals. The left-turn signal at Scholls Ferry and Barrows might not be the problem it is today. 7:06:14 PM Councilor Stanton said that at the north end of Barrows, where it connects to Scholls, there is a substantial amount of housing. Those people are not cutting through to Scholls Ferry, but this is how people access their homes. She noted the area she lives in, which is used as a cut- through. If part of her street was cut off to make a connection then that would put her and her neighbors in a bind for easy access. No decisions should be based on cut-through traffic issues; we need to find ways to meet the needs of existing residents. 7:08:00 PM Councilor Buchner said Barrows Road is the primary access for people traveling the northwest side of Bull Mountain. When this issue came up, there was immediate, tremendous outcry at CPO 4B. Discussion followed about the need for traffic calming and giving people options for travel routes. 7:10:18 PM Discussion followed on the two options for the bridge construction and associated costs. JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - APRIL 7, 2009 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 xvww.tigard-or.gov I Page 5 of 21 Mr. Duenas reviewed the initial option, soil testing and further analysis of the conditions. The goal was to arrive at a 10- to 15-year solution. The Tigard City Council reviewed the latest option with an estimate of a $65,000 cost for each jurisdiction. The Tigard Council felt it would be worthwhile to expend the additional money to quadruple the life of die bridge. This is under negotiation with the County and the City of Beaverton. Mr. Brantano advised the Beaverton City Council has not yet reviewed this matter. The remaining "sticking point" for Beaverton staff is the depth of the overlay on Barrows Road. The County recently proposed a 1-1/2-inch overlay, which is inadequate for the 6,000 vehicles-per-day use. Beaverton wants to see a certain minimum of not less than a 2-inch overlay. Mr. Duenas reported recent discussions with the County that need to be shared with the City of Beaverton. The proposal now is now for grinding 2-inches off, followed by a 2-inch overlay. In response to a question from Mayor Doyle, Mr. Brantano advised this proposal would be coming before the Beaverton City Council fairly soon once agreement has been reached on the standards to be followed for the overlay. The plan is for the bridge deck to be constructed in July followed by the sidewalk and overlay work on the bridge and street. The hope is to have the entire project completed before the start of the school year. (Note: Agenda Item No. 5 was discussed before Agenda Item No. 4.) 7:44:47 PM 4. DOWNTOWN URBAN RENEWAL - TIGARD'S EXPERIENCE - DISCUSSION Tigard Community Development Director Bunch reviewed this agenda topic. He summarized the history and lessons learned for urban renewal. Highlights included: • Pre-election activities included careful preparation and a lot of citizen information and participation. • The community received an award from the American Planning Association for the citizen engagement efforts. • Specific concepts were developed to determine how urban renewal funds would be expended. • A broad constituency of citizens were engaged. • There are always different constituencies; no one shares the same viewpoint. They have different needs. It is important to attempt to "bring in" everyone. • Urban renewal is a long-term prospect. Timing is critical to bring players together: city, developer, bonding companies, and landowners. • It is important to hold to a vision but also have many things going on at the same time; it is a balancing effort. • Progress is essential; have 15-20 things going on at once of varying sizes. • Tax increment growth has occurred at a much slower rate than expected. • It is important to establish realistic expectations in the short term. • Changing circumstances can drastically affect urban renewal plans. Flexibility is important; have numerous plans and options and always show progress. JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -APRIL 7, 2009 Cityof Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 1 wwxv.tigard-or.gov I Page 6 of 21 • The first few years of fiscal support of urban renewal operations and capital projects often comes from other sources and not from tax increment financing. Tax increment financing is used to repay debt. Getting things started requires a commitment from other parts of a municipality's budget • In the Portland-Metropolitan region, many partners can assist. For example, TriMet and Metro are helping Tigard with the Transit Oriented Development Program. • Success sometimes comes from the least-anticipated sources. In Tigard, the Community Partners for Affordable Housing are moving forward on a housing project, which is a strong symbol of progress for the downtown. • It is important to have resilient, committed, and engaged citizens and business support for urban renewal. If there are conflicts among the constituent groups over process or style, work to resolve those issues - spend a lot of time to bring people together. • Urban renewal is not about bringing in chain stores. These can be important factors for new business; but also, in the traditional downtown, there have been business owners and properties that have existed for a long time and helping to redevelop existing businesses through support programs is important. • High-density transit-oriented housing is essential to provide a market base for downtown goods and services. • An effective, interconnected street and pedestrian system is important Tigard's downtown has not changed much since 1952. It has the same street system. One of the reasons is because Highway 99W adversely affected the retail life when the viaduct was constructed and walled off the downtown. It is essential to make the downtown permeable, accessible, and easy to move around in. • A long-term parking strategy is essential. • Leadership on the part of City Council/Urban Renewal Agency is also required. • Urban renewal is part of the whole community and its value for livability should be communicated. • Convince economic development groups of the importance of the urban renewal; i.e., Chamber of Commerce or industrial group. Community Development Director Bunch distributed copies of A Tigard Douwoum Riau" Vision. In the early stages, a downtown improvement plan was created outlining all types of proposed improvements. Mr. Bunch shared the three-dimensional visions of the downtown. Councilor San Soucie asked if the downtown capital plan is maintained independently of the work done for urban renewal. Community Development Director Bunch said the capital plan and the urban renewal are "part and parcel of the same thing." The downtown vision is part of the urban renewal plan. What the City of Tigard expects to do and wants to do is develop a specific capital project plan for the downtown and look at the range of costs necessary to get to a final vision. The urban renewal plan needs to be updated every three or four years. Mayor Dirksen offered his perspective. When the City began this process, a citizen group was formed, The Downtown Task Force. Their goal was to create a downtown improvement plan. A consultant worked with the Task Force to create the plan before the city even considered the concept of urban renewal. Once the downtown plan was in place, the question was, "How do JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -APRIL 7, 2009 Cityof Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 7 of 21 we achieve this vision ...the goal of doing these improvements..." This is the time when the discussions began about the possibility of creating an urban renewal district as a tool to achieve the goal of the downtown improvements. The Mayor said, "We don't think of urban renewal as a separate entity ...urban renewal and tax increment financing is a tool, not the only tool, to fund the kinds of improvements we want to see in our downtown area." Councilor San Soucie noted that Beaverton has a downtown plan that was put together in 2004. One of the tools not available to the City to consider at that time was urban renewal because the vote to change the Charter had not taken place. One of the things Beaverton now has to consider is the technical work for urban renewal along with the visioning work to update previous work. Councilor Buehner noted the City established the City Center Advisory Commission (CCAC). The first job of the CCAC was to draft the urban renewal plan that was brought to the City Council. The plan was the basis for ballot measure development. Subsequent to the passing of the ballot measure, the CCAC continues to be actively involved on various parts of the plan. Mayor Doyle noted his appreciation of the information shared by the City of Tigard. He asked about the timeframe for the entire process. Community Development Director Bunch advised that the urban renewal vote was conducted in 2006. The conversations started in 2002. Council President Wilson added that prior to 2002 there were two failed urban renewal votes. Leading up to the urban renewal plan that passed, there was a long dialogue with downtown business owners with talk of forming an Economic Improvement District (EID) and a Business Improvement District (BID). 8:04:36 PM Mayor Doyle said it is important for Beaverton to begin to look at the Tigard and Lake Oswego experiences to learn what has worked. 8:05:19 PM In response to a question from Councilor San Soucie, Community Development Director Bunch said Tigard has modeled development for a five- to ten-year period. During this time, the parking will be surface parking. Structured parking is related to land rents/prices and the ability for a developer to make a certain amount of money. The City of Tigard anticipates that it will be about 15 years before parking structures would be constructed. In 50 years, when the Portland Metro Westside is at full build-out, there should be rents high enough to warrant structured parking. The entire premise of the downtown is based on high-capacity transit on 99W/Barbur Boulevard and a multi-modal transit center (commuter rail, bus, and light rail). The strategic location is important; it is between two retail centers, Washington Square and Bridgeport. Tigard expects the downtown be a lifestyle center, focused heavily on residential and employment with enough retail to serve the surrounding rooftops within a mile radius. 8:07:46 PM Council President Wilson said that for the downtown vision to become a reality, quite a few developers need to "step up" because the City is not going to build those housing and retail units. JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - APRIL 7, 2009 City of Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.ugard-or.gov I Page 8 of 21 8:08:27 PM Discussion followed a question by Councilor Stanton on the transit center. City Manager Prosser advised that TriMet is making a business decision to close down small transit centers. The transit center on Commercial Street is not being shown because it will no longer be there. Mr. Prosser said Tigard and TriMet are discussing the transit center's future; this site might be one of the first redevelopment opportunities. 8:09:47 PM Councilor Arnold asked about Tigard's experience with regard to financing and expectations. City Manager Prosser said financing is critical. Tax increment financing is a tool. Private financiers willing to buy bonds are needed and financiers are not willing to buy bonds until there is a record of accomplishment. In a new urban renewal district like Tigard's (three years old), a lot of increment is not being produced. Therefore, the City cannot sell bonds at this time because there is no market for it The challenge for a new district is to have City funding, grants, and partners who work with you to get projects going. You need to need get projects and public improvements established to attract developers to build new facilities downtown to increase the increment. The advice Tigard received from its financial advisor is to figure within the first years all expenses will be coming from the City. After that, the hope is there will be some incremental growth. It is all about building a credit history. The first bonds will likely be issued in the five- to ten-year period. 8:12:02 PM In response to a question from Councilor Arnold, Mr. Prosser explained that under state law, tax increment revenues can only be used to pay off indebtedness. Tigard is loaning money from the City general fund to the urban renewal agency. The tax increment money will be used to repay to the City over a period. 8:13:31 PM Community Development Director Bunch noted the importance by the City organization to develop and maintain a positive relationship with the businesses in the downtown. The City can facilitate the idea to business/property owners to invest in underutilized properties to make money. Mr. Bunch spoke about additional tools: predevelopment grants, introducing people to developers, bringing people together, and negotiating to enhance development The first two or three projects need to get going and a record of accomplishment also needs to be established for the development community to see. Design and design character is important to "set the bar" for the kind of developer you want in the downtown. 8:15:08 PM In response to a question from Councilor Arnold, City Manager Prosser (a former member of the Lake Oswego City Council) advised that Lake Oswego started on their urban renewal in the 1980's. Projects were first developed along the river followed by a period of dormancy. Focus then shifted to the downtown area. In this interim period, increment was building and they were creating a positive record of accomplishment JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - APRIL 7, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 1 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 9 of 21 Mr. Prosser explained the "Redevelopment Agency" under Oregon law is a separate legal entity. In setting it up, you have the choice whether the City Council plays the role as the governing body of the redevelopment agency or a separate governing body could be appointed. There was a lot of interest in Tigard to have a separate governing body. In checking with the majority of redevelopment agencies in the state, the governing body members of these jurisdictions also sit on the redevelopment agency. The Portland Development Commission is an example of a separate governing body. For the early years, the Tigard City Council decided it wanted to fulfill the role of the redevelopment agency because of the heavy involvement in the City and the reliance on City funding. It is possible that once the district is on stable financial footing, the City Council would revisit the decision and create a separate governing body. (Note: Item No. 5 was discussed out of order after Item No. 3) 7:16:44 PM 5. WASHINGTON COUNTY COOPERATIVE LIBRARY SERVICES (WCCLS) STRATEGIC FUNDING PLAN FOR LIBRARY SERVICES - UPDATE/DISCUSSION Tigard Library Director Barnes and Beaverton Library Director House facilitated the discussion on this agenda item. Ms. Barnes reviewed the current government model for Library services for jurisdictions throughout Washington County, which is under review and has been discussed by the various jurisdictions. A finalized report on the results of the discussions has not yet been released by the consultant. For the governance structure within the City of Tigard, there remains a strong commitment to local control and accountability. Other jurisdictions have also reported they are of a similar mind set with regard to responsibility for their library facilities. It appears that the current governance model in place is likely the most beneficial in terms of efficiency and the local experience of the community. Mr. House said he thinks Beaverton agrees with what Ms. Bames just stated. Beaverton wants to continue to maintain their libraries, not only as libraries, but as the center of the community: hold meetings, programs and other events representing the local identity. Mr. House reviewed the funding side of the plan for library services in the County. Currently, there is $23.5 million being spent countywide to provide services. This includes the money that all the cities contribute to these services (34% of the funding comes from the local community). The remaining funding is provided by the County. Of that 66%, about 2/3 comes from the County's general fund and 1 /3 comes from a levy passed two years ago. Mr. House advised funding for the library services is not stable. There has been a "gentleman's agreement" for a number of years from the County that they would provide these general fund dollars and increase this amount about 4% each year. Tbis agreement could be taken away at any time. As the economy presents other issues, the County might have to decide to spend this money some other way. Mr. House explained that the local option is levy is on a four-year cycle, which needs to be approved by voters. This is not a stable source of funding for the long term. Each local JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -APRIL 7, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 1 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 10 of 21 municipality or organization has its own money they are contributing. We have been fortunate over the last couple of years because the levy was approved and funding is good now. Mr. House reviewed the elements of a special district. A special district would need a permanent tax base of about 75 cents. In the future we would require an additional sum to meet the upward adjustments as experienced over time. There is the difficulty of convincing the voters to add yet another level of government and a new taxing authority. It would also be difficult for the cities and the county to "under-levy" for a period, meaning the full amount of the tax base would not be levied so residents would not see a great increase immediately. He noted the problems with instituting a new financing structure with current circumstances lies with the situation where unincorporated residents are not paying less than incorporated residents in property taxes. The unincorporated residents would experience a greater percentage increase. There is also the issue of determining when the base taxing authority become not enough. You might be able to operate for ten years before inflationary costs are such that funding and needs are not lining up and then there would be a need to go to the voters again. Mr. House noted there is always the discussion about who pays for facilities; i.e., the maintenance, capital improvements (current local bonds), and any new facilities that might be desirable for the County. Mr. House summarized that the above are all issues that do not forebode well to pursue any type of change in the taxing structure. 7:24:17 PM Mr. House pointed out that in 2008 a new paradigm was created when it no longer is required that voters approve funding by a double majority. If the decision is made to submit a request to voters to renew the levy in 2010, Mr. House speculated that it should pass if it has been demonstrated that current funds have been spent wisely. Therefore, it looks as if the current way of funding libraries is probably still the best way. 7:25:14 PM Mayor Dirksen clarified that the County funding is not funding external to the cities. This is funding provided from the County that includes money, about 60%, from taxes paid by people who live in cities. These people also pay into a city's general fund. 7:25:49 PM Councilor Sherwood said she heard that the County spent around $300,000 to do the studies, polling, and public information disseminated pertaining to the levies. Ms. Barnes said she would check to confirm the amount spent. She said she did not know the total, but was aware there was money spent to place the measure on the ballot and produce informational, factual literature. 7:26:44 PM Councilor Stanton referred to the consultant hired to do the County study. She asked what is planned next. Will the consultant return to the County Board of Commissioners with a recommendation that the current funding and governance structure remain the same? JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -APRIL 7, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 \vxv%v.figard-or.gov I Page 11 of 21 7:27:13 PM Ms. Barnes responded that she understood that the consultant has represented that their mandate was to gather information from all of the participating jurisdictions and to present a report She said they indicated numerous times that they did not have a taxing model or governance structure that they were going to put forward. Even if the consultant did propose a model or structure, Ms. Barnes pointed out the local officials would have strong opinions to express based on the joint meeting of the library directors and city managers - there was no clear mandate. 7:28:16 PM In response to a question from Councilor Stanton, Ms. Barnes said she understood the consultant's contract was with WCCLS and the final report would go to the WCCLS manager. This is in keeping with the request made by the WCCLS Executive Board, which is made up of city managers and mayors participating in WCCLS. Mr. House added that the consultant's basic charge was to look at the options available in the State of Oregon. After presentation of the options, which were then discussed by the representatives of the jurisdictions, the findings were that the current structure is working, so why change it. 7:29:15 PM Councilor Stanton referred to meetings of the focus groups for strategic planning. Will anything come from these efforts? Mr. House said, "Yes." The policy group, made up library directors from the participating libraries, were reviewing long-term strategic planning to determine how best to continue to provide library services. 7:30:10 PM Councilor Stanton asked what kind of support could be expected from the central services. Ms. Barnes said the County levy is administered by the County; however, we all give input and receive benefit from a successful levy. The Tigard City Council has met and identified support of a levy in its long-range goal list Ms. Barnes said she believes the County will continue its support; the operational levy benefits all County residents. The ramifications of that happening, especially in this economic time whereby activity has increased at all libraries, leads Ms. Barnes to believe the County would be supportive. Mr. House concurred with Ms. Barnes. 7:33:02 PM Councilor Arnold asked for clarification on costs associated with forming a separate district Mr. House advised the costs are bases on operational costs only assuming what individual cities contribute along with the current funding of WCCL.S. The funding received from WCCLS, excluding what is being received from the levy, is about 6 cents per $1,000 of property tax assessment Mr. House explained that local support contributes $8 million, the County general fund $10.2 million, and the County levy is $5.26 million. 7:34:38 PM Councilor Stanton pointed out that the $10.2 million from the County's general fund was based on a previously approved serial levy.

Ms. Barnes said she thought these would remain the responsibility of each jurisdiction. In response to a question about the "fairness" of this, Ms. Barnes said there are examples in other parts of the state. She referred to the Deschutes District, which is probably the most successful state library district. About 10 years ago, they held an election, formed a district, and reopened buildings. Through negotiation, the buildings were transferred to the District. For Washington County, both in terms of governance and the funding structures, the existing composition is successful for us now. 7:38:58 PM In response to a question from Councilor Arnold, Ms. Barnes said the decision to move toward consolidation depends on circumstances from state-to-state. In the Midwest, there are many instances of special districts for all types of things: parks, libraries, etc. In this part of the country, we tend to form departments within local municipal governments. 7:40:04 PM Councilor Buchner spoke of the underlying concern about the County Commissioners having the option to spend as they choose the money consolidated into the permanent County tax base. She said she was certain they would continue to honor the "gentleman's agreement" to continue to spend this money on the library system. She said her concern is that as Measure 50 continues to deplete resources for all of us, at some point in the next five- to seven-years, the County might feel it is in their best interests to redirect this money for their critical programs. She said that if we continue the status quo, the County could "pull" the money with very little notice, which would be a devastating impact on the libraries. 7:41:13 PM Mayor Dirksen said he thinks a decision on the part of the Commissioners to redirect those funds would be politically difficult. When that time comes we, as cities, will be looking at a similar crisis and libraries might become a luxury that we might not be able to afford either. 7:41:49 PM Beaverton Assistant to the Mayor Deardorff noted that all jurisdictions are at the County library system's table. She reviewed the composition of the system's decision-makers. An inter- dependence exists that would not be overlooked or set aside in a cavalier manner. She referred to an upcoming meeting of the executive group to discuss the study results, where to go in the next phase, and discuss strategic planning. All recognize there is a need to continue to look at JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - APRIL 7, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 w«zv.tigard-or.gov I Page 13 of 21 the long-term funding even though the decision has been made that the current structure and the current funding is working. 7:43:09 PM Mayor Doyle commented that times are getting tough. Hopefully the experience of the two failed levies prior to passing the current levy was a clear signal that we cannot take libraries for granted. He said, "In this state, like it or not, public opinion loves to drive things. Every four years, the are saying you can drive whether or not we are going to have libraries. It's a real simple deal. I relish the task to go out, campaign, and make sure that the answer is always, `From now on, yes, we need the libraries.' It's just a fact of life, we have to do it. We can't lose sight of the fact that that's the way we function now... We can't get lazy about it." 8:18:36 PM 6. URBANIZATION ISSUES - DISCUSSION A. City of Tigard Community Aspirations and Growth Expectations Community Development Director Bunch introduced this agenda item. Highlights of his comments follow: • A good discussion was had by the Tigard City Council when Washington County asked Tigard about its growth aspirations. Tigard approached this question by asking, "What are our responsibilities as a municipal government and where would we expect to grow?" Tigard does not aspire to grow or take in new territory, but the City does see it as its responsibility. It is good public policy because Tigard for the last few years has taken the position that there should be no additional unincorporated urban development in the County. Tigard accepts that new urban lands will be needed to accommodate population and employment growth in the coming decades; therefore, Tigard will have to go "somewhere" and provide urban services. 8:20:25 PM • Tigard is now landlocked, so it wants to increase densities and intensities of urban uses in areas such as the downtown, Washington Square, along Highway 99W, and in the Tigard Triangle. • Recently there was a preliminary designation of the Barbur/Highway 99W corridor as the top tier of the next high-capacity transit corridor for study. This fits within the stated "aspirations" promoted by the Tigard Mayor and City Council. • Tigard has been a low-density, suburban community. Those neighborhoods axe sacrosanct. We want to retain those single-family land use designations because Tigard believes there must be a choice for housing opportunities. • Tigard expects it will provide municipal services, including water, to unincorporated areas within its urban services area. • Tigard event through the urbanization process. It will not change its SB 122 agreements about where Tigard's urban planning areas are. Those areas are within Tigard's urban planning areas and urban service boundaries. JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -APRIL 7, 2009 Cityof Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 1 www.tigard-or.gov J Page 14 of 21 • Because it is good public policy and the fact that Tigard is the only logical service provider for water services, urban growth Areas 63 and 64 will ultimately be in the City. Lands south to Beef Bend Road and toward the Tualatin River and Vandermost Road will ultimately be in a municipality. • Tigard staff considered a 30- to 50-year growth scenario: Where will the housing and jobs be? Inside the City, we anticipate we will get anywhere from 14,000 to 16,000 new housing units if our visions for 99W, the Tigard Triangle and Washington Square come to pass. Tigard is doing a similar vision exercise for Highway 99W as was done for the downtown to look at what might be possible. • Tigard has a jobs/housing ratio of about 1.7 jobs per 1 household. It is jab-rich for a suburban community and the community wants to retain that. Therefore, Tigard wants to increase the density in the existing industrial lands that are accessible and useable to establish another 23,000 jobs in the next 30-50 years. Tigard needs those jobs for prosperity. • Areas 63 and 64 along with other lands should yield about another 8,000 housing units. The difference between what the County is planning for 63 and 64 is that there are no jobs planned for the area. Jobs are absolutely necessary for a complete community. Tigard believes that at least.75 jobs per household is needed. The transportation infrastructure has not been included in the concept planning process for Areas 63 and 64 development Close-to-home jobs are needed so people do not need to drive long distances. 8:25:45 PM • Councilor Buchner pointed out that Tigard's plans for the 99W Corridor, Dowtown and the Triangle are dependent upon a light rail system because of limitations imposed by ODOT. • Community Development Director Bunch reported that when responding to Metro's request regarding aspirations, every jurisdiction identified the Transportation Planning Rule as a problem. ODOT's position is that they want to protect the capacity of major roadways from land use, and this is not the way it should be from our perspective. This is an area that will need to be worked out • Mayor Dirksen commented he thinks the situation should be reversed so that land use dictates what the transportation system needs to be instead of allowing transportation system to dictate what land use will be allowed. 8:27:49 PM • Mayor Doyle advised he concurred with Mayor Dirksen. He then asked about the job growth aspirations for Tigard; that is, what does the number of 5700 additional jobs represent Community Development Director Bunch confirmed this was a number to meet the goal of .75 jobs per each residential unit. Communities need to be integrated and held together by more than housing. The .75 figure is the baseline for jobs. Community Development Director Bunch confirmed this was the vision for the job ratio in Areas 63 and 64 and lands to the south that he identified earlier. The City has partners and some of these jobs might be accommodated within their geographies; i.e., Tualatin, Sherwood, King JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -APRIL 7, 2009 Cityof Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 1 S of 21 City, and Durham. The objective is the communities sharing common boundaries to work together to have solid, core employment bases. 8:29:58 PM 0 Council President Wilson noted that the City of Tigard is not responsible for planning Areas 63 and 64 at this time. The employment figures are aspirations. 8:30:11 PM • In response to a question from Councilor Stanton, Council President Wilson advised that Metro sets the target numbers for the urban reserves; however, the plan is generated by Washington County. Community Development Director Bunch said the concept plan is required to meet Metro's Functional Plan land-use requirements. The essential parts of the functional plan of concern to Tigard is the ability of the concept plan to show all needed public facilities and services, including transportation, can be provided. In addition, the concept plan has to provide for a business plan, a financial structure - showing how the plans will be accomplished. Tigard has serious concerns with the transportation system. Tigard has water and parks. Before Metro can adopt a plan to show conformance to the Functional Plan, facilities must be available. Staff would likely recommend to the City Council that the City would not support a plan that does not include facilities and services. B. West Bull Mountain (Areas 63 and 64) Traffic Analysis 8:32:22 PM Tigard Right-of-Way Administrator McCarthy advised that Washington County is the agency leading the planning effort for Areas 63 and 64. The County's analysis assumes about 4,000 new homes and the majority of those would be single family. Mr. McCarthy advised the County is also planning for an area near the intersection of Beef Bend and Roy Rogers Roads, which is not currently in the urban growth boundary. Depending on the option the County selects, there will be 30-40,000 new vehicle trips per day. Mr. McCarthy said for comparison purposes, the current daily volume of traffic on Scholls Ferry Road between Murray Boulevard and Nimbus Street is 30-40,000 vehicle trips per day. The new trips will need to be absorbed into the existing transportation network, which does not have the capacity. 8:33:43 PM Right-of-Way Administrator McCarthy reviewed traffic numbers prepared for the area. One set of assumptions is that the traffic will be so bad so that people will not drive. Mr. McCarthy did not find this to be an acceptable assumption. A plan has yet to come forward that looks at how to handle all of the traffic generated by development. He reviewed a number of challenges that need to be addressed by jurisdictions responsible for planning and providing services. 8:38:09 PM Councilor San Soucie advised of his knowledge about the planning work for these areas and advised he is a member of the Washington County Planning Commission. He said he is looking forward to seeing more detail on the economic and transportation analyses. He pointed out that residents in the new areas might be traveling to Beaverton or Hillsboro for employment, not just Tigard - adding to the complexities of planning for transportation.

He referred to the amount of pavement reserved for bicycle lanes (12 feet of pavement) that is not well utilized. He's been thinking about the possibility of moving the bike paths off Scholls Ferry, perhaps paralleling Summer Creek through Summer Lake Park and down SW North Dakota. He said he has talked to Randy McCourt at DKS Associates about the possibility of a reversible lane. Given the "impossible cost" of road widening, why not look at using the available pavement more effectively. 8:41:21 PM Beaverton Senior Planner Fryer advised that Beaverton, as they are planning for their urban reserve areas, has similar concerns about traffic as Tigard. She advised they commented to Washington County twice, but did not receive a response on either comment letter. 8:42:15 PM 7. TIGARD ASPIRATIONS FOR THE WASHINGTON SQUARE REGIONAL CENTER - UPDATE/DISCUSSION Community Development Director Bunch presented historical information on this item: • Tigard's plan for the Washington Square Regional Center was a joint plan, involving Beaverton and Washington County and envisioned the Center as a vibrant, higher density urban environment with 50 dwelling units per acre. • It would retain its shopping center niche along with a greatly expanded mix of land use designations and urban-level activities. • The Center is dependent on an integrated light-rail, high-capacity transit system. • The multi-modal transportation improvements identified in the Center's plan are expensive to build. Perhaps, if the region cannot go forward with these improvements, the need to think about a revised planning effort based upon the prospect that we will get light rail eventually on 99W. We need to deal with ODOT's Transportation Planning Rule standards as Tigard is having similar problems in the Tigard Triangle. • Housing construction in the Washington Square area has been slow. New strategies are needed. • Recent national reports indicate that high-quality rental housing (smaller units) will become more the norm. There will be a need for new housing types. • Local street connectivity needs to be improved. • Tigard would like to work with Beaverton and Washington County to revisit the 1998 planning effort and update the vision for Washington Square. • Tigard would like for this to remain a regional center. 8:46:40 PM In response to a question from Mayor Doyle, Mr. Bunch agreed that taking another look at the Washington Square area would occur among the staff of the jurisdictions. Tigard has been successful with OD OT and DLCD in terms of receiving TGM grants to fluid studies. JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES -APRIL 7, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 17 of 21 8:47:34 PM Mayor Doyle asked if the possible outcome might result in the change of boundaries for the regional center. Does the entire Center have to remain as part of die Regional Center? Community Development Director Bunch said facts need to be reviewed to establish history of what has happened in the area and then work done to model some of the potential market economics. Mr. Bunch said that if Beaverton is interested in different land uses in the future, this could certainly be a collaborative effort 8:48:49 PM Mayor Doyle said it is the time for a discussion about the Center. Nothing of consequence has happened. This will be an incredible undertaking and suggested taking a look at it "along with our other partners." 8:49:31 PM Community Development Director Bunch said he would expect the Metro Council to be open to a review this area as part of their "creating the greatest place" efforts. 8:50:34 PM Council President Wilson said he was on the task force when the Washington Square Regional Center Plan was created. Whether Metro designates this as a regional center or not, the reality is that it is a regional center: Washington Square is a regional shopping center, Embassy Suites is the largest hotel in Washington County, and the Lincoln Center is the largest single office complex. The area has developed into a "defacto" downtown. Most of the land is under the ownership of Macedch Corporation and they realize certain parts of the area are under-utilized and they are considering options for the property. He said he's uncertain if Macerich has considered housing development, so he questioned whether tlis part of the plan was realistic. 8:52:34 PM Council President Wilson referred to recent rezoning in the Metzger area, which is now developing with townhouses; the density is increasing. The Metzger community was extremely concerned about their neighborhood changing from a single-family, detached neighborhood. He agreed it might be time to revisit. "We won't come up anywhere near the $200 million worth of public infrastructure that the plan said needs to happen ...we need to dial down to a little bit more realism." Council President Wilson disagreed that nothing has happened pointing out that Washington Square recently constructed a $50 million addition. 8:53:34 PM Councilor San Soude commented that this has been under discussion for quite awhile, both by Beaverton City Council and Planning Commission. He concurs with Mayor Doyle and others who said this area needs to be revisited. More partners need to be involved, including ODOT. Councilor San Soucie found the comment by Council President Wilson interesting regarding the concentrated land ownership in the area. If there is a "re-planning" effort to come, there is a great opportunity to get a relatively small number of people together who have significant influence for actual results. JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - APRIL 7, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 1 xvwtv.tigard-or.gov Page 18 of 21 8:55:17 PM Councilor Sherwood advised she lives in the area and someone has been buying homes in the area. At least five homes have been leveled and removed and others are for rent. There are some vacancies in the buildings around Washington Square. She said "We need to all need to be sitting down with Macerich having some discussions and finding out what their aspirations are and what we can do to facilitate, or what they can do to help us." She noted cooperation between the Tigard Police Department and Macerich regarding traffic control during the holiday season. 8:56:34 PM Tigard City Manager Prosser referred to the work by Metro on the high-capacity transit study. A draft, detailed corridor evaluation is set up in tiers: regional priority, next phase, developing, and vision. Tigard is pleased that Barbur/99W is the first priority listed in the regional priority list. The second priority is Clackamas Town Center to Washington Square; this new information might address some issues. 8:58:08 PM Right-of-Way Administrator McCarthy reported that Line 29 listed by Metro would go from Clackamas Town Center, through Milwaukie, across the Willamette River on the existing rail bridge, through Lake Oswego, on to Bridgeport Village, through Tigard to Washington Square. 8:58:35 PM Tigard City Attorney Ramis added that he also represents Clackamas Town Center in re- planning that property. He urged that jurisdictions also consider involving anchor tenants in planning discussions as they can play a catalyst role. There are uses, other than housing, that can create a mixed-use environment that are of great interest to the anchor tenants. There is a lot of opportunity to expand the number of stakeholders. 8:59:43 PM Council President Wilson said he has had conversations with Washington Square Mall Manager Jonae Armstrong about light rail. He said she is not enthusiastic about it because from her perspective their No. 1 issue is lack of parking. There is concern that the Square might have issues with parking by commuters if a light rail line was too close to the mall. 9:00:29 PM Tigard City Attorney Ramis said the synergy of light rail is not what some planners might think. It is not the fact that that high-capacity rail can bring shoppers and, therefore, drive sales. However, there is a recognition by most of the anchor companies that rail can create densification and diversification of uses in the area around the mall, which will drive sales. The mall manager might not be as broadly focused. 9:01:24 PM Councilor Arnold referred to benefits of structured parking. She recently was in Tacoma and as part of their commuter rail, they developed several significant parking structures. Communities are looking at utilizing these structures to attract commuters to stay and shop and dine at JOINT TIGARD/BEAVERTON CITY COUNCIL MINUTES - APRIL 7, 2009 Cityof Tigard 1 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 39 of 21 adjacent businesses. She said "we have really missed the boat" by not concentrating more on that with our light rail and commuter rail. 9:02:42 PM Councilor Stanton referred to an earlier comment from Council President Wilson regarding vacant properties near the Washington Square mall. She suggested additional structures similar to the Lincoln Tower might be more beneficial to the mall than housing. 9:03:16 PM Councilor Stanton advises she uses mass transit and involving TriMet will be necessary for the planning in the this area. She noted her concerns that payroll taxes collected go the "central city" and not to Washington County. 9:04:44 PM Mayor Dirksen said that City Manager Prosser indicated that TriMet was part of the discussions of the Regional Center Plan. The City of Tigard has been in close discussion with TriMet regarding Tigard's high-capacity needs on 99W; they are "on board" with that concept. 9:05:05 PM City Manager Prosser added that TriMet has been the first and strongest supporter of light rail on 99W. Councilor Stanton agreed that TriMet supports light rail; she clarified she was referring to transit service "to get people out of the neighborhoods to corridors to access the bus service..." Mr. Prosser said staff has noted the experience has been that once the light rail line is put in, the bus routes are realigned to feed into the light rail lines. Tigard's long-term plan is to get the light rail in, which will strengthen our arguments to get the bus service into the neighborhoods and higher density areas. 9:06:17 PM Councilor Buehner advised that Tigard has developed a good relationship with TriMet over the last few years. Last winter she took TriMet General Manager Hansen on a long tour of northwest Tigard and south Beaverton to see all of the dense development that has occurred. She said she believes this got him to think more about bus service for these areas. 9:07:18 PM Mayor Dirksen commented that while working with TriMet to improve service in the Tigard area, one criteria used to decide where new or improved service is needed is how well an area connects to the existing system. This is problematic if there is no existing system to tie into. 9:08:07 PM Councilor Arnold advised she has heard there are a number of people who would travel on light rail or a trolley but not on a bus. She noted the light rail lines are fixed so the property values increase because the development community is assured the service will remain.

They live on corridors and older apartment buildings on side streets. 9:08:57 PM Mayor Doyle said he appreciated the comments on light rail for the east side. He said he thinks that when Hillsboro comes to the table with their new AmberGlen development, this will become a spur off of the MAX light rail system. 9:09:38 PM Several City Council members indicated their appreciation and the value of the discussions tonight In response to the comments made, Mayor Doyle concurred with continuing the "new tradition" of periodic joint Beaverton/Tigard City Council meetings. 9:11:04 PM 8.

He said this would be of special interest to the young people attending the Council meeting tonight He noted that the words, Grren and Sustainable are different - Green is what we want; Sustainable is how we get there. He suggested the City promote a Sustainability Policy with 1-year, 5-year, and 10-year goals. He will make all materials from these meetings available to Council.

She said she cannot update Council without the maps and suggested the submittal of a formal records request to the Washington County Commission from Council in order to obtain the maps. 1.5 Call to Council and Staff for Non-Agenda Items - None 2. JOINT MEETING WITH THE PLANNING COMMISSION Planning Commission Members in attendance: President Inman Commissioner Anderson Commissioner Caffall Commissioner Hasman Commissioner Muldoon Commissioner Vermilyea Planning Commission President Inman said there were two issues of concern to the Planning Commission regarding communication with Council. She said when items are sent on to Council from the Planning Commission, quite often they don't hear back what the Council decision was. She also noted that recently the Commission and Council reached two different decisions and while that is bound to happen, they wanted to make sure they ate communicating TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 ivxv~,v.tigard-ongo Page 2 of11 with Council in a way that is effective. She asked if Council would prefer that a Planning Commission representative testify at public hearings, or if a brief staff report would be helpful. 7:04:04 PM Councilor Buehner said the Planning Commission minutes Council received before the most recent land use hearing were not sufficiently detailed to obtain the flavor of the discussions. She suggested that minutes be more detailed and include pro and con discussion, especially when a matter is controversial. 7:04:29 PM Mayor Dirksen said he reviews the Planning Commission minutes and asks questions if he requires more information. He said having the President or a designee testifying at public hearings was a good idea. Council President Wilson said he scans their minutes and the staff report He said Council packets are already large; he doesn't want more paper. He suggested that Planning Commission minutes highlight salient facts and snmmari~e the basis of each side if there is disagreement. He said he was on the Planning Commission previously and was disappointed to learn that the Council doesn't get to view full sets of plans like the Planning Commission does. He mentioned a recent Council packet that included a map showing only a portion of a site, which hindered his ability to make a decision. 7:07:08 PM Mayor Dirksen said he assumed that Council decisions were relayed back to the Planning Commission. City Manager Prosser said it is the responsibility of the staff liaison and this has been discussed with Current Planning Manager Bewersdorff. He agreed that the staff person leading the project will send out a summary of the Council decision to Planning Commission members. 7:08:10 PM Councilor Webb said she looks at the land use issues from a different angle than the Planning Commission. Councilor Henderson agreed with Councilor Webb, saying, "When I look at this, I only have one thing in mind and that is what the people of Tigard want. I haven't been on the Planning Commission but I do know how it feels when you put in a lot of time on a committee and see something come out differently." He said in his 32 years of experience as a builder he was often at odds with the Building Department, although they could always work things out. 7:10:39 PM Councilor Buehner said not getting the underlying documents makes it difficult to have enough background prior to the meeting, so she makes a point to go through the file at the Permit Centex. She said not many land use cases come to Council so there is a steep learning curve. She referred to the Senn and Blue Heron cases, saying as she looks back she thought staff and the Planning Commission must have known of the controversy and Council should have been advised of this and reviewed the entire file. She said, "The fact is the Council confirms your recommendations the vast majority of the time." She said it would be helpful if the Planning Commission lets Council know if something coming up may be controversial. Planning Commission President Inman agreed that the minutes may not accurately convey the empathy and passion Commissioners have towards some land use decisions. She said, "The recent decision was based on what many of us thought was in the best interests of the city and its future yet was also one we felt bad about" TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES -.APRIL 21, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.go Page 3 of11 7:13:33 PM Current Planning Manager Bewersdorff asked that credit be given to the current Planning Commission and their work throughout the lengthy Comprehensive Plan Amendment process. He assured Council that Planning Commission discussions are detailed and thorough and he is impressed by their work. Mayor Dirksen agreed with him and said this Commission has a unique perspective on the City of Tigard. Referring to a recent Council decision on a land use matter, Councilor Buchner told the Commission it had been a split decision. Council President Wilson also advised that he had been absent. 7:15:17 PM Planning Commission President Inman discussed their upcoming work plan. She expects discussions on the tree code to be heated and said the Planning Commission wants to be involved. Mayor Dirksen referred to the Planning Commission Work Plan 7:15:46 PM regarding the Tigard Triangle and the Washington Square Plans. He said his perspective is that the Washington Square Plan needs minor adjusting but the Tigard Triangle Plan is out of date and needs to be addressed "from the ground up" based on new projected growth assumptions. He said he agrees that Downtown Planning and Redevelopment is a priority because the City needs to follow through and finish the land use program and put design standards in place so as development occurs it will happen within that perspective. 7:17:01 PM Councilor Buchner asked about the timeline for the Transportation System Plan update. Planning Commission President Inman said it would be completed by the end of this year. Council thanked the Planning Commission for their hard work. 3. DISCUSS PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENTS REGARDING TREE REMOVAL DCA2009-00001) 7:17:38 PM Associate Planner Floyd introduced City Arborist Prager and said this proposed amendment clarifies an ambiguity in the tree removal section of Tigard's Development Code. He said his objective was to familiarize Council with the Planning Commission's recommendations from their Match 16, 2009 public hearing. He said the tree removal code amendment is the result of Council direction last summer when they found a Director's interpretation to be overreaching. Council suggested that the particular issue would be better addressed through a code update. He said this item is scheduled for a public hearing at the May 12, 2009 Council meeting. 7:20:14 PM Associate Planner Floyd listed current requirements of applicants requesting land use approval, noting that the current practice doesn't prioritize the protection of existing trees over removal, where possible. It also is in conflict with the purpose statement of the Tree Removal Ordinance, which recognizes the value of trees and calls for preservation. He said the conflict exists because it is difficult for applicants to prove how they have protected trees where possible. TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 1 503-639-417 tvwxv.tigard-or.go Page 4 of11 7:31:58 PM Councilor Buehner noted that in spite of assurances from them, the Home Builder's Association has not been actively involved in developing these code amendments. She suggested that this be stated during the hearing process so the record shows the lack of follow-through. Councilor Webb concurred. 7:33:44 PM Council President Wilson said he felt the prior language was an overreach. He said in his profession as a landscape architect he holds a unique view among the Council, having done site design for 25 years and often being the one who decides whether or not a tree is saved. He agrees with the intent to save more trees and wants clear and objective standards, but is concerned that the approach as presented will tend to cause more trees to be removed. He said unintended negative consequences include greater loss of trees, increased staff time and conflict over ambiguities. His greatest concern is that by requiring a response to each question the City is transferring design decisions from the owner, architect, or landscape architect, etc. to City staff. He said this may cause developers to simply remove trees in advance to avoid going through this process. 7:37:29 PM He also expressed concern s that this doesn't mesh with the way construction processes actually work. He said, "Including off-site trees is an example. Surveyors will not estimate where a tree is. When they put their stamp on something it must be precise. If they can't gain access to a property, a tree whose roots extend into a project will not be measured." Regarding the role of arborist, once a survey is complete, the arborist will evaluate the condition of the trees and prepare a report. But actual design decisions are made by a design team, which typically includes an architect, landscape architect, and civil engineer. The arborist will evaluate based on these design decisions whether the identified trees can be saved. He recommended splitting the roles of the arborist and the other design professionals in preparing the narrative. 7:40:30 PM Council President Wilson said it is impractical to halt construction for a land use process because any disruption would be extremely expensive. Holding up the process for two weeks to make a decision about a tree is not appropriate. When you need a building inspection, for example, the inspector comes to the site right away. Making an "on the spot" decision is necessary. 7:41:32 PM Associate Planner Floyd thanked Council President Wilson for his comments and said many of them were echoed by others during this process. He responded that while many decisions are made during the design process, arborists are often brought in only at the last minute, to save what trees are left. Staff's goal is to ensure that the arborist is involved earlier in the process and that design decisions are more transparent. He said the decision of the project arborist is the final word. He said staff is exploring a two-track process to come before Council on May 12, because they are aware of potential difficulties that could occur for a contractor when work is stopped. They will recommend a Type 1 process for faster processing. 7:44:57 PM Council President Wilson said, "I wouldn't portray it in terms of as good vs. eviL Developers are just trying to make a product that they can sell. In most cases their intentions are good. The more you make the process onerous the more trees may be lost because of the uncertainty. Give the designers the flexibility to do what they're trained to do. I oppose this as it is written now." TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 1 503-639-417 www.tigard-or.go Page 5 of11 Associate Planner Floyd said, "We are trying to accomplish the same thing in the design process. We are just trying to make the process more transparent and documented. Staff will take your comments and work on this." 7:48:38 PM Mayor Dirksen asked Council President Wilson to clai* what a reasonable timeframe would be for a minor plan modification to address an unexpected change, i.e. a tree cannot be saved and the plan has to be modified. Council President Wilson said it ought to be in the same timeframe as a building inspector - 24 hours. In response to a question to staff from Mayor Dirksen about whether the 24-hour building inspection response time is written into the City's Code, City Manager Prosser said it is a service standard, not a requirement Associate Planner Floyd noted that at present there is no process for amendment If you have an approved tree plan it can't be changed other than through the same land use plan. If that is not done you are violating your conditions. He said these recommended changes include such a process and advised that staff will work on bringing to Council some suggestions for turn- around times since this is a major issue. Current Planning Director Bewersdorff offered a historical perspective, saying that tree codes have always been a difficult issue. He said it is very difficult to protect natural resources through the code and the last time the tree code was changed it took the committee three years to get to a compromise. He said, "Our current mitigation plan worked well until we came up with a charge of $125 per caliper inch for each tree removed. That was very expensive to our most recent subdivisions and that is why the development community has a difficult time with the mitigation process. Prior to that, we took an estimate - we could get $30,000 to $40,000 with no argument Now with the caliper inch requirement the impact is much higher." He said the City went to the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) over Ash Creek regarding tree removal. As a result of that, changing a tree plan is a Type-2 process which takes 6-8 weeks. Some developers would rather cut down the trees and pay the fine. 7:53:51 PM Mayor Dirksen noted that the projected code amendments improve the process we have now. Council President Wilson said he disagreed. Councilor Buehner said too often people testify against taking out any trees so a few are left after construction but they are no longer supported by a big group of trees and they either don't survive or become dangerous to nearby property. Mayor Dirksen said that is addressed under 5-A - Susceptibility to windthrow. Council President Wilson said he advocates shifting from a quantitative to a qualitative approach to trees in the Urban Forest Plan. He said that too much of the time, all trees are treated equally. He suggested the purchase of easements for developed trees or significant groves on existing properties by collecting "fees in lieu." TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES -APRIL 21, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.dgard-ongo I Page 6ofll 7:58:15 PM Mayor Dirksen said that while Council President Wilson's suggestion was a laudable goal, the proposed amendments are an interim step. He said Council's altematives are to make these changes until the Urban Forestry Plan is completed, or do nothing to address this problem now. Councilor Webb said there needs to be a medium between the pendulum swings on this topic and this is headed in the right direction. 8:00:09 PM Mayor Dirksen agreed with Councilor Webb. He had some questions on Section B, Item 2, asking why the words, "on land" were added. He also asked about page 3, item 5-D, saying, "Why would you not want a property line within a drip line of a tree? Is lot layout a lot line?" Associate Planner Floyd replied that the lot layout means the overall configuration but he understood why the words led to the question and staff would address the language. Council President Wilson 8:02:57 PM questioned the requirement of caliper measures within one-tenth of an inch, asking the purpose of such a precise measurement. Arborist Prager explained that the measurements are in response to issues the City experiences regarding mitigation. He said because mitigation is required for a 12-inch tree, some developers try to avoid that by calling it an 11.8- inch tree. Council President Wilson asked, "Why not just round it up?" Associate Planner Floyd said staff has also heard reports of trees measuring 12.9 inches being rounded down to 12 inches. 8:05:33 PM Councilor Buehner said current language in 790.040.2 needs to be clarified regarding lot line averaging. She said the current language does not do what staff intends and is problematic in its referencing. 8:06:54 PM Councilor Henderson asked if this amendment will clear up the issue of a landowner who cuts down his trees and then one year and a day later does not have to mitigate. Associate Planner Floyd said this is a narrow amendment and that is not addressed. He suggested that this could be considered under the Urban Forest Master Plan discussions. Council President Wilson referred to a recent zone change, noting that some significant trees were removed. He asked if staff would be prepared to ask developers to go back and redesign something like that in order to save trees and make the parking lot more efficient, for example. Arborist Prager said the sequoia trees were saved. Mayor Dirksen noted in an aside to staff that this type of discussion needs more than the 15- minutes scheduled for it on the agenda.

DISCUSS DRAFT WASHINGTON COUNTY URBANIZATION FORUM RESOLUTION Councilor Buehner thanked Councilor Webb for getting a transcript of the County Commission meeting and asked if Council had a chance to read it City Manager Prosser said this item concerns a resolution coming out of the Washington County Urbanization Forum, comprised of representatives from each city in Washington County, County Commissioners and the major service districts. He said they spent one and a half years looking considering options for urbanization issues. He said that out of that process a general agreement was reached that any new areas added to the urban growth boundary should not be added until they could be served by cities. Existing urban unincorporated areas will be looked at individually and there is no overall policy to address all of them. He said the Steering Committee put together a draft resolution and asked all governmental entities in the Forum to adopt this resolution to institutionalize agreements coming out of the forum. Changes can be made by each entity. He said Community Development Director Bunch drafted another resolution which is in the Council Packet One provision provides that the county will maintain control of all county roads within cities that are part of the county road system. All other roads would be transferred to the cities, as is. Some of these roads will not be up to city standards and no funding comes to the cities with the transfer so there is a financial burden. 8:17:38 PM City Manager Prosser said another provision says that cities will actively support and work with the County to develop funding sources for unincorporated areas which cannot transferred into cities. He said this opens up the county to become an urban services provider, which current county policy says they are not. City Manager Prosser asked Council if they were comfortable with the resolution as drafted by the Steering Committee or are there changes they would suggest and, do they want staff to bring them back to them for adoption. 8:18:58 PM Councilor Buchner said the resolution doesn't address the issue of whether a city can annex an area if they are not contiguous to it She said it seemed to her that they will have to make a decision about whether cherry stemming will be allowed. Councilor Webb said, "Isn't cherry stemming illegal?" City Manager Prosser said it is legal, but against both the County's and City of Tigard's policies. He noted that Section 5 on the Resolution says although it is high priority that an expansion be contiguous, in the event the Urban Growth Boundary is expanded to include areas non-contiguous to an incorporated area, they will work with fellow jurisdictions to seek legislation or other enabling authority to enable the inclusion of such areas outside the existing Urban Growth Boundary within the interested city. Councilor Buehner8:20:53 PM said, "This is not a legislative issue. It is a local issue." TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES -APRIL 21, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW HaIl Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.go Page 8 of11 Mayor Dirksen said if this provision was in place, Metro and the counties would be given an incentive to work on this issue in the legislature and if the Urban Growth Boundary is expanded it will not be urbanized unless it becomes part of a city. City Manager Prosser said Action No. 5 allows the county to leave open the opportunity for a new city. It doesn't have to be an existing city providing services. Councilor Webb noted that there is contradictory language in No. 6, because it mentions the development of financial tools to help Washington County provide urban services to areas while they remain outside the governance of cities. 8:22:57 PM Mayor Dirksen said he wants this language to change because if the county was allowed to create a new tax rate to help provide the services, it would remove the disincentive for unincorporated areas to come into a city. 8:23:50 PM City Manager Prosser said if we choose to leave this language in we might want to modify it to say we would support the county developing tools to charge the residents in an unincorporated area the full cost of providing services so that County residents within existing cities are not required to pay that, or having needed county-wide services reduced. Council President Wilson agreed and said the term, "financial tools" is ambiguous. Mayor Dirksen said his major concern with this resolution was Section No. 6 and he would want it to change to identify or indicate that the taxing would be to the unincorporated areas receiving the service. Councilor Buchner suggested adding language in Action 3, stating that roads must be brought up to standard before being transferred to cities. City Manager Prosser said he interpreted that language to mean smaller streets. Mayor Dirksen said the County wants to keep control of roads labeled as Roads of County Significance, and they would want to retain control of those roads even if they are annexed into a city. But they would want cities to take control of local roads within the area. He said requiring all roads to be brought up to standard would be difficult to achieve. City Manages Prosser summar7ed: Council wants work done on the language supporting County efforts to provide funding. He said staff would make that one change and bring the Resolution back for Council approval. The consensus on the roads was to leave it as it is. Mayor Dirksen recommended that resolution language should be consistent throughout the jurisdictions. 5. BRIEFING ON DESIGNATION OF HWY 99W AS A REGIONAL MOBILITY CORRIDOR 8:29:24 PM Right-of-Way Administrator McCarthy introduced this item. He listed the existing corridors affecting Tigard. He distributed copies of maps showing two different scenarios for a major route from the Portland City Center area to Sherwood. In an earlier version, I-5 was the TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES -APRIL 21, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 503-639-417 ,V,V-,v.tigard-or.go Page 9 of11 main route - crossing at Tualatin over to Sherwood on a proposed I-5/99W connector. He said with the change in direction of the 1-5/Hwy 99W planning effort, there is no major road connecting the two. Metro and ODOT now believe it makes sense to designate 99W as a Regional Mobility Corridor. He said staff feel this change fits the function of Highway 99W and is appropriate for its current and future use. Mr. McCarthy said designation of 99W as a corridor would have many benefits, including greater priority to receive potential regional and state improvement funding. He said it would also assist with efforts to pursue alternative modes along or parallel to Highway 99W, and grants to study and develop plans for efficient land use in the corridor. 8:33:16 PM He asked Council if they were favorable to the concept of 99W becoming a mobility corridor. 8:34:17 PM In response to a question from Councilor Webb about whether designating 99W as a mobility corridor is the first step in getting light rail, Mr. McCarthy said, "Technically, they are independent. But it being a mobility corridor helps us in that regard." Mayor Dirksen said this designation would be a great benefit Council President Wilson said this is beneficial if it helps Tigard get more control over their roads. He said, "If the regional concerns match ours and they further our goals, then it is good." Right-of-Way Administrator McCarthy gave Council a draft copy of Metro's Atlas of Mobility Corridors. A copy is available in the City Recorder's Office. He said another issue is the designation of McDonald Street and Bonita Road. Tigard currently designates these streets as collectors rather than arterials. Metro refers to them as collectors of regional significance and is encouraging a change to identify these as arterials. Right-of-Way Administrator McCarthy said in order to be included in this study, these streets need to be classified as arterials Council President Wilson asked what kind of traffic qualifies a road as an arterial. Right-o£--Way Administrator McCarthy said the cutoff between an arterial and a collector is 8,000-10,000 vehicles per day. The roads under discussion are at the 11,000-15,000 vehicles per day level. He said a collector mainly serves adjacent properties while an arterial is busier, with more through traffic. Council agreed that staff should pursue asking for the roads to be considered as arterials for the purpose of this study now and discuss their designation later during the Tigard Transportation System Plan update. Council mentioned other connections that Right-of-Way Administrator McCarthy said would be good issues to discuss during the update of Tigard's Transportation System Plan: • Walnut/Ash/Hunziker connection • Continuing Hall Boulevard over a new bridge connecting it to Tualatin/Boones Ferry Road • Leveraging Hall Boulevard to become a city-owned arterial (taking it off of ODOT's jurisdiction TIGAR_ D CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 21, 2009 City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 www.tigard-or.go I Page 10 of11 8:45:43 PM Mayor Dirksen said the City Council Workshop meeting would continue in the Red Rock Creek Conference Room, adjacent to the Town Hall, for a training session. 6. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT TRAINING FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS Emergency Management/Safety Coordinator Lueck introduced Scott Porter, Director of the Washington County Office of Consolidated Emergency Management who presented a PowerPoint on the role of elected officials in local emergencies. These roles include: • Providing information, advice, and support to the Chief Executive Official and emergency response staff • Reassuring citizens through your presence and leadership • Coordinating with elected officials and senior executives from other jurisdictions, agencies, and businesses • Declaring an emergency, formulating policy, and taking other regulatory actions necessary to facilitate response and recovery operations and maintain government continuity. 7.

Senior Planner Farrelly, Assistant Planner Daniels, Deputy Recorder Krager Tigard City Center Advisory Commission (CCAC) Members: Alexander Craghead, Carolyn Barkley, Elise Shearer, Linli Pao University of Oregon Professors: Hans Joachim Neis, Don Genasci, James Pettina i University of Oregon Students: Josh Kolberg, Kevin Montgomery, Jon Deleonardo, Drew Krauss, Casey Kent, Marc Becker, Sina Meier, and S. Postel Marianne Fitgerald, 10537 SW 64"' Drive, Portland, OR 97219 (SW Neighborhood Information Transportation Chair) Jim McLaughlin, 4601 SW Vesta, Portland, OR 97219 (West Portland Park Neighborhood Assn.) Kay Durtschi, Metro Technical Advisory Committee (MTAC) Member GENERAL COMMENTS: • High capacity transit is not the goal; making the 99W corridor work is the goal. • High capacity transit is one way to make the corridor work. • Want students to study backage roads • Tigard wants to limit driveways onto 99W. • Create new intersections to access backage roads/linked parking lots where none exist. We would have intersections where needed, some of which exist now and some would have to be added. This would provide access to backage roads or parking lots at the rear of corridor properties that are linked together so all properties/businesses can be accessed from the rear rather than through individual driveways between the intersections. • Consider moving bicycle/pedestrian paths off 99W onto backage roads parallel to 99W. • ODOT doesn't encourage access off of 99W; have students considered this difficulty? • Even with light rail, future car traffic will increase. • Many Tigard residents complain about 99W and try to avoid it; traffic is huge frustration. • ODOT is pushing for squared-off intersections on Barbur Blvd. • Put parking high on the list when planning for light rail. Sunset Transit Center structure is filled by 7:30 every day. • Tigard has a goal to provide more affordable housing. • Think about where to start and how this can evolve; Tigard has structural problems to fut. • Where should the light rail stations be? How can they be linked so the traffic problems don't worsen? • We may not want to crowd 40 units into one acre. TrMet has built light rail through less densely populated areas. We want to see something that is not maxed out on density. 1 • TriMet has a history of locating light rail along freeways. (easier politically or due to ROW's) • What if light rail wasn't on 99W? Other ideas: 72'd Avenue, Dartmouth, or between Barbur and I-5 to Capitol Highway • Structured parking is ideal but too expensive. How can we better use surface parking and backageroads? • There could be transit stations in Downtown Tigard, Tigard Triangle and up towards PCC Sylvania via a flyover. (PCC is across from Tigard above 1-5.) • What if light rail came down through Red Rock Creek and then over to Highway 217? • Be aware of property lines when proposing redevelopment BULL MOUNTAIN SEGMENT COMMENTS: • A Pioneer Cemetery is in the forested area on Little Bull Mountain • Ease of a 15-minute walk to transit depends on who is doing the walking (a 25-year old student or an elderly person with a load of groceries from Winco). • The 1,000 foot building idea is too massive and out of character for the area. • Have you researched where residents of Arbor Heights on Royalty Parkway work? Would they be likely to use high capacity transit? VIADUCT SEGMENT COMMENTS: • Hall Blvd/99W is going to be a gateway and is redesigned, including the addition of right- turn lanes. Were students informed of this? • Work is also planned for Greenburg and 99W intersection. • Hall Blvd/Greenburg/99W is constricted by three barriers creating an hourglass effect: Highway 217, railroad tracks and Fanno Creek. Encouraged students to look at the 50,000- foot view - see where the traffic problems are. • Structured parking may be too expensive. • What is solution to pedestrian experience? Give depth to facades, use buildings to enclose and control the street. Use character to bring people into the neighborhood. TIGARD TRIANGLE SEGMENT COMMENTS: • Regarding road across from Costco on Dartmouth: City required Babies R Us to put in a road there but it is too close to 99W to use. • Intrigued by 99W couplet idea; could split traffic into Metzger area. • The Tigard Triangle is as close to the center of the Metro area as downtown Portland is. • Mid-rise towers along I-5 would have great views towards the west and south and would be a nice place to live. 2 • Loved the idea of Red Rock Creek exposure • Nice to see gridding and connectivity • City can absorb a large amount of high density housing in the Triangle so existing single- family residential neighborhoods can be preserved. • Triangle is best place for tall buildings. It is buffered from single-family homes so there are no height restrictions. • Even in a 50-year plan we need to be practical; consider existing street patterns. We can't reconfigure all the streets at once. Integrate what is here. • Light rail should be adjacent to Tigard Triangle. • What does the market want? What would get built if there were no zoning restrictions? • Tigard feels opportunity for office space is along I-5; surprised students didn't focus on that. COMMENTS ON 99W MODEL: • Great citizen communication tool! • Could modify - showing before and after • Scale would make it difficult to show small details • What U of O did for Tigard's Downtown would also be a great deliverable EXISTING STREETS/ACCESS ROADS TO ADD - • Walnut Street becomes Walnut Place on east side of 99W to Tigard Methodist Church. A driveway connects Walnut Place to Frewing Street. • Tigard Street • Grant Street continues after intersecting with Walnut Street towards Charles F. Tigard Elementary where it makes a turn-around. The road is interrupted by school grounds and then continues at School St. on to intersect at Park Street. • Backage road extends from Park Street intersection at 99W and turns towards Tigard Marketplace Mall (H-Mart, Bi-Mar, Starbucks) • School Street off of 99W between Park Street and Walnut Street • Backage road from Bull Mountain Road to Gaarde, ending at Elmer's Pancake House • Backage road from Beef Bend Road to Bull Mountain Road, comes up behind gas station at Bull Mountain • 116"' comes off 99W directly across from Durham Road and continues in front of King City shopping center, past Royalty Parkway to Beef Bend Road • Backage road in front of King City fire station • Was frontage road across from former GM building (now a church) ending at Hwy 217 included? • WES line and station • Highlight creeks in color • Label each street 3 POTENTIAL RoADs: • Would love to see transportation nodes shown with potential light rail stops • Extension of Walnut Street behind Methodist Church on Walnut Place • Extension of McKenzie Street to connect with Ash Avenue • Extension of Ash Avenue to Burnham • City wants more access into Tigard Marketplace (H-Mart/Bi-Mart, near 99W/Park St.) • Consider removing Bike paths from 99W; put them on parallel backage roads and streets • Change viaduct to arched bridge with roads through tunnels; landscaped berms • If light rail goes down 99W, could elevator take passengers to street below viaduct for connections at commuter rail/bus station?
