RE: Permit MST2000 -00492
Please be advised that the above permit, which related to construction work at the
above address, never received final inspection approval and has expired by limitation,
as more than six months have elapsed with no inspection activity. As is our practice in
such matters, with this letter we are closing the file on this unfinished permit.
Whether this was new construction or an addition, occupancy or use of property subject
to a building permit without final inspection and approval is a violation of the building
codes and of the Tigard Municipal Code. The City herewith reserves the right to take
enforcement action in that regard, even though no such action is planned at this time.
You should know that the lack of final inspection approval could become a problem for
the owner of this property if it is sold. We have had cases where sale closings and
purchases have been cancelled at the last minute when purchasers or their title
companies have become aware of the lack of final inspection approval. As the owner
of this property, you may wish to consider your liability were there to be losses due to
accident, fire, etc.
If you have any questions about the permit or its status, please call Jeanne Temple in
our office at 503 - 718 -2433.
Sincerely,

RE: MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 22, 2000 EXPIRED

Ms. Davenport:
Here is the letter I committed to at meeting. Based upon the facts that you have
presented, upon application, we will process a Type 1 temporary use permit for a health
hardship. Such a permit normally takes 3 -5 days to review and process. The filing fee
is $100.00. In order to approve such an application, documentation is needed from a
physician supporting the need for the health hardship. The physician's note should
also state that your mother needs to have someone else (you) reside in the temporary
dwelling with her to provide care. You indicated that you have the application form and
will be submitting all necessary information shortly.
Please understand that yearly physician certifications will be required verifying that the
health hardship continues to exist. The manufactured dwelling will have to be removed
once the hardship ceases. The unit could remain permanently if the property was
partitioned, and setback and fee requirements were met.
The setbacks for this temporary structure will be 15' for the back yard and 5' for the side
yards. Please keep in mind that, if the unit remains permanently on the site, the
setbacks for an R -7 zone are 15' front yard, 15' back yard, and 5' side yard. If you
partition the property, your front yard will likely change from what it is now. You may
want to consider this when you initially place the structure on the property. Please feel
- • free to talk to Matt-Scheidegger (639-4171, ext. 31.7) if you would like more information
about setbacks.
Once you have obtained your temporary use permit, you will need to apply for building,
electrical, plumbing, sewer permits, etc. You will be required to pay all necessary fees,
which are listed below. Upon further investigation, we have determined that the Unified'
Sewerage Agency (USA) does reduce fees for temporary uses — you will not have to
initially pay the USA system development charge (SDC) of $2300. They have a
reduced fee of $230 for temporary uses that must be paid every two years or fraction
thereof. USA does not charge a Water Quality & Quantity fee for temporary hardship
cases. Furthermore, we have determined that the County traffic impact fee is not
collected for temporary uses, something we were unable to confirm when we met last
week. Please remember that if the modular home becomes permanent, all SDC's will
•
have to be paid at whatever the rates are at the time. Deferral options exist to make
13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 (503) 639 -4171 TDD (503) 684 -2772
payments over time and our Finance Department is currently researching this process.
Contact Tom lmdieke for further information at 503 639 -4171, ext. 326.
The following are the fees that have to be paid at the time of building permit issuance in
order to place the manufactured dwelling on the lot temporarily. -

An additional fee for a water meter is required, but not at the time of building permit
issuance. When you are ready for your water meter, please contact Tualatin Valley
Water District at 245 -3331 for fee information.
Should your son desire to annex the entire property into the City of Tigard, a survey of
the property boundaries is not required. An application is required from the property
owner requesting annexation along with a legal description of the property. This
consists of the map and tax lot number of the property assigned by Washington County.
Please contact Matt Scheidegger for details. There is not a City fee to initiate
annexation, however, Metro charges $85.00 to process notification to service providers.
Typically annexation takes two - three months to process. If you decide to annex to the
City, it will simplify the process to develop the property since it would not be split
. between two jurisdictions.
I recognize that you have found this whole process confusing and frustrating. It is staffs
responsibility to explain code standards and provide options that the public can choose
to pursue. Throughout this entire process, my staff has attempted to explain the many
options to meet your needs. Unfortunately, the situation is complicated because of the
fact that the property is located partially in unincorporated Washington County and
partially in the City of Tigard.
However, some good has arisen out of this situation and we have revised our handouts
to clarify costs, etc. Your particular situation occurs infrequently and, as a result, is not
easily understood. I have directed staff to revise our forms and procedures to correct
this situation in the future.
I believe I have included all the information you need to proceed with your project. If
you have more questions, please contact Matt Scheidegger.
Sincerely,
