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 are communicating TIGARD 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 2 of 12 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 PPI 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 coil discussion, especially when a matter is controversial. 7:04:29 PM Mayor Dirk-sen said he reviews the Planning Commission minutes and asks questions if he requires more information. He said having the President or a designee testifying ,it public hearings was a good idea. Council President Wilson said be scans their minutes and the staff report. He said Council packets are already large; be doesn't want more paper. He suggested that Planning Commission minutes highlight salient facts and summarize 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 Eke the Planning Commission does. He mentioned a recent Council packet that included a mar) showing only a portion of a site,which hindered his ability to make a decision. 7:07:08 PM Mavor 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 bow 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 Buchner 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 Center. She said not many land use cases come to Council so there is a steep leamil'IL, 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 1 503-639-4171 www,tigard-or.go I Page 3 of 12 7:13:33 PTNI Current Planning Manager Bewersdorff asked that credit be Oven 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 ut-iique 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 Planninc,, 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 Buehner asked about the timeline for the Transportation System Plan update, Planning Commission President Inman said it would be completed by the end of dais 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 March 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 P1\/I 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 1 503-639-4171 www,tigard-or.go I Page 4 of 12 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 concerns 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 man), decisions are made during the design process, arborists are often brought in only at the last minute, to save what trees are left. Staffs 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 I process for faster processing. 7:44:57 PINI 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 1 503-639-4171 www,tigard-or.go I Page 5 of 12 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 clarify 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 stat, from Mayor Dirkscn 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 PlarmiriL, 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 Buchner 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 Dirk-sen said that is addressed under 5-A - Susceptibility to windtbrow. 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 casements for developed trees or significant ,groves on existing properties by collecting"fees in licu." TIGARD 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 6 of 12 7:58:15 PM Mayor Dirksen said that while Council President Wilson's suggestion a ges on was laudable goal, the proposed amendments are an interim step. He said Council's alternatives 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 PT\4 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 5-1), 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, askg the purpose of such a precise measurement. Arborist Prager explained that the measurements are in response to issues the City experiences regarding mitigation. ire on. 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 Buchner 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 13M 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, TIGARD 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 7 of 12 4. DISCUSS DRAFT WASHINGTON COUNTY URBANIZATION FORUM RESOLUTION Councilor Buchner thanked Councilor Webb for getting a transcript of the County Commission meeting and asked if Council had a chance to read it. City y 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 p 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 they can annex an area 1 if 1, 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 Citv. 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 Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 www,tigard-or.go I Page 8 of 12 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 I'M 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. Ile said requiring all roads to be brought up to standard would be difficult to achieve. City Manager Prosser summarized: 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 IIWY 99W AS A REGIONAL MOBILITY CORRIDOR 8:29:24 PM Right-of-Way Administrator McCarthy introduced this item. Ile listed the existing corridors affecting Tigard. He distributed copies of maps shoving two different scenarios for a major route from the Portland City Center area to Sherwood. In an earlier version, 1-5 was the TIGARD 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 9 of 12 main route—crossing at Tualatin over to Sherwood on a proposed 1-5/99W connector. He said with the change in direction of the 1-5/11wy 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 11 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 refcrs 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-of-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 TIGARD 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 of 12 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.
