Update on 2012 Tigard City Council Goal No. 5,Recreation,and Council Direction Regarding a Recreation Database Note: This portion of the meeting was conducted in the Town Hall. Assistant Public Works Director Rager introduced this agenda topic. One of the council's goals for 2012 was related to recreation. For the first part, the council asked staff to search the city to identify an inventory to provide to the city's customers to give them an idea of what recreation opportunities are already provided. IMParks Facilities Manager Martin advised the inventory has been assembled in an electronic format,which can be easily kept up to date. The Public Works Department plans to devise a form that will allow people to make online suggestions regarding the inventory. After a three-month effort,a list was created and divided into categories and sub-categories to help people narrow searches. About 300 recreational items are listed in the inventory out of about 7-800 possible items that could have been included. After review, staff would like to hear from council members about how many items they would like to have listed on the inventory. Parks Facilities Manager Martin reviewed the static display of the software used to develop the inventory to demonstrate how searches could be conducted and the categories identified;i.e.,sports,crafts,music, cultural arts, classes, etc. Parks Facilities TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES—NOVEMBER 27,2012 City of Tigard 113125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1503-639-41711 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 1 of 14 Manager Martin referred to a disclaimer authored by the city attorney stating that the City of Tigard does not offer the programs,but the city is providing links to recreational offerings. 0 Assistant Public Works Director Rager asked if the inventory presented this evening is what the council had in mind.The next step would be to keep the inventory updated. 0 Councilor Woodard commented that the inventory was a good start and what the Park and Recreation Advisory Board was looking for to follow through on its goal recommendations for city recreation. He suggested that a placement holder be created to direct people to videos of Tigard activities. Mayor Dirksen noted that links to other websites could be posted as well. Councilor Woodard said he would like to see photos added to the link information;i.e.,when accessing information on the Tigard swimming pool,there would be a photo of the facility. Discussion followed on other ideas and formatting suggestions that could be considered. An interactive component of this tool would be helpful so people can send feedback to city officials. This information would be useful to the Park and Recreation Advisory Board for planning purposes. HParks Facilities Manager Martin commented on talks with the school district regarding creating recreational opportunities by partnering with the Tigard-Tualatin School District. School District officials are receptive to this concept. 9 In response to a comment from Mayor Dirksen,City Manager Wine said the nature of the types of partnerships under discussion include facility coordination, field operations and community garden opportunities. ® Councilor Henderson said the inventory as demonstrated this evening looks bland. He asked if a calendar of events could be included. City Manager Wine responded a calendar of events for city meetings and city-sponsored events are posted on the city's webpage—there might be a way to expand this to include recreational opportunities. The mayor suggested links to other calendars might be a more time-efficient way to provide this information. Councilor Wilson commented the formatting could be more user friendly. �C=1 Councilor Woodard suggested logos of different organizations that offer recreational opportunities could be posted to show support of these organizations and give them recognition. IMMayor Dirksen told staff this is a "...great start and the right idea..."

Written report and PowerPoint presentation are on file in the record copy of the packet materials. Council discussed the information and presented questions for clarification of staff and consultant (Interim Community Development Director McGuire,Associate Planner Daniels, Consultant Prager) Public testimony: • Written testimony received: o John Frewing,email dated November 24,2012 o Justin Wood,email dated November 27,2012 TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES—NOVEMBER 27,2012 City of Tigard 113125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1 503-639-4171 1 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 7 of 14 • Oral testimony: o ® Ken Gertz,Homebuilders Association (signed-in as "neutral") presented testimony. Mr. Gertz advised the Homebuilders Association were not supportive of moving the canopy percentages from the tree manual (administrative rules) to the code.The Mayor agreed with Mr. Gertz that the percentages should be in the administrative rules for greater flexibility should adjustment be needed. Mr. Gertz said that trees, from a developer's standpoint, fall into four categories: hazard trees,trees that are in the way of the development design,save trees incorporated into the development design and the "try to save" trees. The "try to save trees" are those trees that might be saved but it is unknown as to whether it can remain until the house designs are finalized for the lot line adjustments are completed.To avoid having to go to a Type I1 change, should the developer decide he wants to save or remove the tree,he would automatically place tree in the"cut" category.This would require the developer to project on his tree plan the number of canopy replacement trees. Should he be able to save the tree,he would not receive credit for the tree,which would mean that the replacement trees would still need to be planted whether they were wanted or not.A simple solution for this problem would be to refer to CDC 18.790.070 (B) (2) and add the words "or save"within the language of this section. (Inserted after the word "planted" and before "in.") Mr. Gertz referred to the tree replacement fees,which the developer would use for bonding on the project. He noted there were four different fees ranging from$350- 450. He suggested that one fee be selected as a compromise "somewhere in the" middle" of that range. He noted the basis of the fee was applied to a 3-inch tree, even though a 1'/2-inch tree would be planted, so the numbers are skewed to the high end. He recommended the fee be closer to $300 rather than$450. Mr. Gertz said the City of Tigard might want to consider what the City of Tualatin does for street trees. In Tualatin a developer pays a flat fee per lot for street trees and then twice a year the city plants these trees in the locations. This would impress upon the homeowners that these trees belong to the city. Mr. Gertz said the problem he has experience with Street trees is not having them live but that homeowners often remove them. Mr. Gertz said that HBA is generally in support of the proposed urban forestry code amendments. Council consideration of staff list of amendments to the Planning Commission's recommended draft based on council direction on October 23 and November 13,2012: Councilor Wilson remarks about the proposed UFCR. Many of his concerns relate to the complexities,most of which occurs in the Administrative Rules. The code refers to these rules, TIGARD CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES—NOVEMBER 27,2012 City of Tigard 113125 SW Hall Blvd.,Tigard,OR 97223 1503-639-4171 1 www.tigard-or.gov I Page 8 of 14 which he thinks should be simplified;therefore, adopting all of these sections now to be effective March 1 represents a problem for him. He would prefer to adopt all amendments together although he will no longer be on City Council when the rules are considered for adoption. He said he will be voting no this evening,not because he does not"like the whole thing,but because it just has not reached the point where I can support it." Mayor Dirksen urged Councilor Wilson to consider each amendment separately and determine whether he was opposed or in favor of the amendment independent of the entire UFCR recommendations.

Mayor Dirksen Yes Council President Buehner Yes Councilor Henderson Yes Councilor Wilson Yes Councilor Woodard Yes 10 Discussion on the ordinance and resolution before the City Council for approval: A. Urban Forestry Code Revisions -Land Use Elements 1WBefore voting on the proposed Ordinance No. 12-09,statement made by Council President Buehner,that she still has some concerns about potential litigation from events arising out of the code,but in an effort to reach consensus,she will vote for the code change. She added that she hoped the city attorney would keep track of issues and those that raise "red flags" should be brought to the council immediately. ,10 Mayor Dirksen commented that each councilor likely has some issues that,individually, they would like to see addressed. Looking at this as a complete package,it is "such a large improvement over what we have had previously..." He referred to the work by the Task Force and the Planning Commission,"...and to come up with this compromise that everyone could agree with in general and in principle is a huge achievement..." 1WCouncilor Woodard said his biggest concerns were cost and privacy issues. He wanted to see home builders be able to keep down those costs that are passed to the homeowner. As the council proceeded through the hearing process,his concerns diminished. While he still has a few questions for clarity, he realized the administrative rules process would assist in keeping the code less complicated and allow staff to assist customers more efficiently. Councilor Woodard said he still has some concern about project costs,but he thinks the council will have the opportunity to address this concern if it does materialize. The end result is a good product. 1WMayor Dirksen closed the public hearing. 1WMotion by Council President Buehner, seconded by Councilor Woodard, to adopt Ordinance No. 12-09: ORDINANCE NO. 12-09 -AN ORDINANCE TO ADOPT DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT DCA 2011-00002 TO AMEND CHAPTERS 18.115, 18.120, 18.310, 18.350, 18.360, 18.370, 18.390, 18.610, 18.620, 18.630, 18.640, 18.715, 18.745, 18.775, 18.790 AND 18.798 OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE,ALONG WITH THE AMENDMENTS APPROVED BY COUNCIL EARLIER IN THE MEETING.

He noted in the"whereas" statements of the ordinance,there are requirements that he assumes are required by the state. City Attorney Hall advised the "whereas"clauses do not amend the text of the Comprehensive Plan. The language in the "whereas" clauses: "...decision to allow,limit or prohibit uses..."is language from statute. Principal Planner McGuire confirmed that this language documents the process the city went through to demonstrate to the state that the city followed the state's process.

The end result is an improvement over what"we had before." His concerns at the beginning were based on comments from citizens about a desire to preserve and enhance the trees in the City of Tigard and how to do this in a way that was fair in consideration of property owners' rights. The challenge was difficult. He thanked everyone involved,particularly those who served on the Task Force. ElCouncil President Buehner noted deferral of discussions on view corridors and height restrictions. She said she hoped that staff would schedule these topics for council review in the next year. 6.
