ADJOURNMENT a PC Agenda - May 27, 1975 - page 2 STAFF REPORT Tigard Site Development & Architectural Design Review Board May 27, 1975 SDR 6-75 (McDonald 's Restaurant - Robertson property) Applicant' s Request to construct a drive-in restaurant facility on Pacific Hwy. at School Street Staff Findings 1. In general the submitted materials are adequate per code requirements with the exception of: a. No grading plan has been submitted and b. The adjacent streets are not shown. 2. While specific directions of the Design Review Board have not been followed, applicant is proposing alternative solutions to most of the problems addressed in previous Design Review Board actions on this project. (minutes of previous meetings are attached) . 3. Access and parking conforms to City code, although staff questions adequacy of the parking provided in that there is less parking provided in this project than at other McDonald' s Restaurants in the Portland area which have apparently less "sit down" space. A projection of parking requirements by McDonald's would be helpful; however, additional parking space can easily be provided by expanding the parking area to the south west. 4. This proposal contemplates use of the entire Robertson site, surrounding the existing Standard Service Station. The applicant will provide copy of the lease agreement to sub- stantiate this. 5. There is a potential conflict with some front landscaping and the vision clearance areas adjacent the driveway approaches. 6. The reversal of the traffic pattern on site to minimize that conflict with the Standard Station complies with an Oregon State Highway Division request (see letters attached) , but leaves a dangerous conflict with School St. , 30 feet away. This conflict is accentuated by the fact that the deceleration lane adjacent the School District Administration Building will tend to keep automobiles entering Pacific Highway southbound back of the vision area of a driver entering Pacific Hwy. from the McDonald' s exit. This problem is compounded by the presence of a power transmission pole at `'�" the corner of School St. and Pacific Hwy. 7. If School St. is to remain open, widening and improvement may be eventually necessary; however, the City Public Works Dept. has recommended its closure (in spite of neighborhood + » objections) . 8. Exit to School St. from McDonald' s has been discussed, Mc- Donald ' s feeling that that solution would not be acceptable to the neighborhood. Staff and Oregon State Highway Div. concur that School St. could provide a safer exit if traffic could be restricted from the School Administration parking lot and from using School St. to gain access into the resi- dential portion of the neighborhood. 9. Applicant proposes to constrain traffic from "wrong way" use of the entrance from Pacific Hwy. by placement of signs. Staff feels this measure to be inadequate and would suggest physical constraints. 10. The presently shown "shared access" with the adjacent Standard Station is a primary concern of staff as well as the Oregon State Highway Dept. A "shared access" is in- tended as a two way common approach which constrains traffic to a right angle, two lane, two way approach, functioning, in other words , much as a local street. In order for such a "shared access" to work properly, it is most important that adequate queuing space is available to store autos waiting to enter the highway without blocking either individual approach. The "shared access" scheme proposed here avoids W some of the more obvious shortcomings of the first plan submitted by McDonald ' s in February; however, it is not, in staff' s opinion, an adequate solution. If the con- figuration shown on the site plan is found to be acceptable to the Design Review Board, than at the very minimum the planter dividing McDonald' s from the Standard Station (existing planter" on site plan) needs to be extended or a "pork chop" provided to control traffic entering McDonald' s and prevent cross circulation between the two sites. Land- scaping of that "planter" is not shown and must be adequate and compatible with McDonald's landscaping. 11. The access shown to Park St. meets City standards, but raises some questions as to the effects upon the surrounding vehicular circulation pattern. For example, it willprobably reduce the number of vehicles using the access on Pacific Hwy. (State estimate is by as much as 40%) , but conversely will result in additional traffic through the residential area adjacent Watkins Avenue. 12. S. W. Grant Avenue has a 40 ft. right-of-way and needs an additional 5 ft. dedicated (one side) to conform to City requirements. An agreement not ,to remonstrate against a future street improvement district is necessary to protect adjacent landowners waiting to develop. S. W. Park St. is an existing substandard collector street, with adequate ' right-of-way but which, with the addition of traffic from SDR Staff Report - May 27, 1975 - item 4.1 - page 2 this project must be improved to City standards at least as far as the influence and congestion due to McDonald' s can be expected to extend. S. W. School St. , a 20 ft. right- of-way existing on a private easement, should be improved to minimum standards for a private commercial access drive if it is used for access to or from McDonald' s. Otherwise, it probably should be treated as a part of the School Dist. site. 13. Landscaping of west portion of site is insignificant and needs a major shade tree or trees to provide some shelter in the "picnic area" . Retention of some of the existing native hawthorne and vine maples could be nicely worked in as well. 14. Ground covers not specified in planting areas adjacent Grant St. and Park St. , nor adjacent the service station - plantings adjacent service station should be compatible. 15. The 10 ft. planting area (as corrected) adjacent School St. needs flowering trees as provided along the rear property line in order to more effectively integrate the landscape theme. Staff Recommendation In view of the several faults found by staff in our review of this project, staff recommends that the Design Review Board rw either deny the application pending the submission of an amended plan which adequately addresses the findings herein, or that the applicant be invited to amend appropriately his site plan to such extent as may be conditionally acceptable at this meeting to the Design Review Board. DRB Staff Report - May 27, 1975 - item 4.1 - page 3 Memorandum To: File From: Jerald M. Powell Subject: Access Rights and Approach Permits to State Highways In a telephone conversation with Mr. Terry Flink, OSHD, May 1, 1975, Mr. Flink stated that generally the state would grant no more than one (1) access right, up to fifty (50) feet wide per one hundred (100) feet of frontage on a state highway. He stated that a fifty (50) foot "access right" was not the same as an "approach permit" for that access -- that the Highway Division generally would consider granting one sixteen (16) to twenty-four (24) foot width driveway ap roach for single owner use, or one thirty (30) to thirty-five (35� foot width driveway approach for commercial two way use in a fifty (50) foot wide "access right". Mr. Flink further stated that they con- sidered fifty (50) feet (center line to center line) the minimum allowable interval between driveway approaches unless, in the case of a two approach situation, the fifty (50) foot interval would not allow a vehicle to fully pull off the highway right-of-way. The Highway Division, as a matter of written policy, will not issue an approach permit in areas where they have original jurisdiction where such permit would interfere with traffic , vehicular or pedestrian. In urban areas, within a city, the Highway Division, again as a policy matter, defers to the street standards of the municipality and will not issue an approach permit without City approval. Should +wr the city 's standards be less restrictive than the state standards, and the City approves an approach not in conformance with state criteria, the state could conceivably protest the City 's approval but most likely would go along.

BOX 23557 Tigard, Oregon 97223 ATTENTION: Gerald M. Powell Assoc. Planner RE: Mcdonalds Restaurant Site Plan We have studied the proposed site developement plan for McDonalds Restaurant on Pacific Highway West in Tigard as requested. We have also had a study made by the Regional Traffic Engineer. The plan is unsatisfactory due to traffic conflict. A fast food facility such as this generates a high traffic volume. The estimate for this particular site is 1570 vehicles per 24 hour period. During the peak hour, 12 noon to 1:00 p.m. , the volume would be 205 vehicles. The approaches would have to be 2-way. Joint use of the service station driveway could not be allowed as it would cause conflicting movement. Widening of this access could not be allowed as the existing access grant is 50 feet wide. The plans call for a 60 foot access. It is estimated that not more than 40 percent of the traffic would use the Park Street approach. There would also be a conflict between the vehicles using the northerly entrance and the traffic to and from School Street. We would not issue any road approach permits until the applicant has a site plan approved by the City of Tigard. Very truly yours, W. W. Geibel District Engineer by 7 C. T. Flink CF:cl Asst.

STRAUB myW May 20, 1975 GOVERNOR F.8. KLA80E Administrator of Highways City of Tigard 12420 S.W. Main Tigard, Oregon 97223 ATTENTION: Mr. Dick Bolen Planning Director RE: McDonalds Access Pacific Highway West (99-W) After a great deal of investigation and study, we have submitted a road approach permit application for the proposed McDonalds Restaurant. This permit application is for a 30 foot wide road approach a Engineers Station 119+14, which will be the most northerly access to the property. r In conjunction with the permit application, we have submitted an ` Indenture of Access application. This indenture moves the access from Station 118+78 to its new location at Station 119+14. This new location complies with the City of Tigard requirement of a minimum of 30 feet from the property line to the near edge of the driveway. The most southerly access to the restaurant utilizes a portion of an apprca ch to a Standard Oil Company service station. Since this approach is 50 feet wide and was granted with no restrictions as to its' use, we have concluded that we have no jurisdiction. The access permit at Station 119+14 will be issued subject to approval by the City of Tigard accordance with our Rules and Regulations Governing Road Approach Permits (December 1, 1974). This is required since the city has land use zoning jurisdiction. Please call on us if you have any questions. Very truly yours, W. W. GEIBEL DISTRICT ENGINEER by CF:cl C. T. Flink Asst. District Engineer cc: Mr. Ron Failmezger Form 81-731-3122 Y SDR 6-75 McDonald' s The following suggested conditions are recommended by staff should the Board opt to approve the submitted site development plan and architectural design: 1. Modify the common access to constrain traffic to a 900 intersection with Pacific Highway and limit cross traffic between the Standard Station and McDonald' s. 2. Eliminate the exit shown and use School St. as a common access with the School District, develop School St. to a minimum commercial drive standard (30 feet) and coordinate such activities with the School District with respect to curbing the edge of their parking lot. 3. Expand parking area toward Park St. for an additional 20-30 ft. , allowing an additional 6 to 12 spaces. Capacity as drawn, 71 autos -- seating capacity of restaurant is 128, probably employment is estimated at 16 per shift. Assuming 2 persons per automobile, the parking demand would be 72 spaces. Staff recommends an additional 8-10 spaces to allow for turnover overlaps and carry-out business. 4. Provide additional trees along "east" side of site similar to "north" side. 5. Provide ground cover in planting areas adjacent service station and redesign plantings in those areas to coordinate better. 6. Provide curbs, sidewalks and necessary street improvements on Park St. and on Grant St. Grant St. will soon develop for multi-family use and Park St. will experience a rapid increase in traffic. Neither is presently adequate for its use and introducing the pro- posed project without those improvements would be a hardship on the community. - - Tigard Site Development and Design Review Board _ Staff Report May 27, I975 - 4: 30 P.M.

The latter will be brought to the Design Review Board meeting by the applicant while the former are to be considered at a later meeting. The applicants have stated that even though they have not been able to produce a landscape plan u�r for the project they would like to have the Design Review Board pooe judgement on the site plan and architectural design before Lorry Bissett. must leave for Philadelphia. 2. The Drive-up window feature of this facility required the applicant to obtain conditional use approval from the Planning Commission. This approval was granted on January 7, 1975 with the following conditions: l^ that no ec0000 be provided from Pacific Highway~ 2" that the applicant provide 18 ft° of pavement width from the center line of Qzoonburg Road to the reconstructed curb section shown on the submitted site plan. 3^ that you provide improvements to S.W. Pacific Highway and Greenburg Road at the applicants' expense, to include curbs, sidewalks and a driveway access and curb out on S.U. Creonburg Rd. * such improvements to be constructed per eppIioEbla city, county and state standards. � ^ d° that no left turns be permitted from the site onto S.W. Creenburg with controls 'P4W provided according to the approval of the City Public Uorko Director. 5. that the outside drive-up lane be used as parking area until such time as this lane is utilized as a second drive-up service lane. 3~ The driveway configuration shown on the site plan at Orognburg Road meets the staff' s approval according to the Planning Commission concern expressed in condition �4° However, in order to construct as shown a variance from the streets section (Chapter 15) of the Tigard Municipal Code must be approved by the City Council. The Planning Commission has no authority to vary the standards of Chapter 15, This variance will be considered at the June g^ 1975 City Council meeting. If approved, the staff wishes to see the driveway constructed an proposed. If the variance is not approved it will be necessary for the curb out to be 30 feet in width rather than o 20 foot opening and a 15 foot opening separated by an 8 foot divider as shown. ;4W 4° The location of catch basins at corners should be relocated so as not to pose e traffic hazard~ 5° The applicant has stated that a free standing sign will. be located at the corner of Pacific Highway and Graenburg Road~ The buildings dominance of this corner makes it questionable if a free standing is appropriate. A building mounted sign would appear to be a Solution. Staff Staff recommends approval of the site development plan subject to City Council approval of a variance to allow the driveway approach to Creenburg Road as proposed by the applicant and subject to later approval of the landscape plan by the Design Review Board. In addition the catch basins at the corner of Pacific-Qreenburg and Center should be moved to the new curb-line and any signs directed to Pacific Highway should be mounted on the building face. pego 2 - Staff Report - Oregon Bank-Bissett - SDR 2-75 STAFF Report Tigard Site Development & Architectural Design Review Board May 27, 1975 SDR 13-75 (Willow Brooke Apts. - Tualatin Development Corp. ) Applicant' s Request review of a proposed 57 unit apartment project in Summerfield, a planned development Staff Findings 1. The proposed street approaches are shown as radiused corners, like street intersections. 2. Walkway approaches to several units ( "B" Building #2, "B" Building #1 and "B" Building #6) are shown connecting to a sidewalk area on an adjacent street, probably encouraging on-street parking and providing a lengthy walk from the tenant' s parking to his apartment entrance. 3. Parking spaces 66 and 67 are awkwardly arranged, realignment tangent to curve radius would be more consistent design. 4. Parking required for a 57 unit apartment under Tigard code would be 86 parking places, which is still less than an optimum off-street parking allowance. The site plan pro- vides for 85. 5. The scale of the largest trees identified on the landscape plan is quite small with respect to the building size. The alignment of the buildings , in a semicircle around two rows of similar buildings, contributes to an excessive linearity which could be broken up by major trees (assuming that the rows cannot be re-oriented or broken up by re- designing) . 6. This project does not show the quality of environmental design promised by the Planned Development prospectus . offered by the developers. 7. Retention of the existing "hedge row" between buildings #1 and #2 is a nice feature. Staff Recommendation Denial and either submission of a project clearly consistent with design standards established in "Summerfield" or referral to the Planning Commission.
