Main - Tigard, Oregon DOCKET: SDR 12-76 REQUEST: Site plan and architectural design review of two duplexes in an "A-2, Multi-Family" zone. LOCATION: S .W. Hill Street east of S .W. Ash Street (Wash . Co . Tax Map 2S1 2BD, Tax Lot 200) . APPLICANT: J. A. Atwood Corp. I . BASIC FACTS 1 . The site is designated "Urban Medium Density" residential- duplex on the Neighborhood Plan I and zoned "A-2, Multi- Family Residential" . 2 . This lot was created by a minor land partition (MLP 3-76) approved by the Planning Commission on August 3, 1976 . 3 . The flood plain elevation at this site is 148 ' mean sea level . II . FINDINGS 1 . The applicant is requesting review of the first phase of a proposed multi-family duplex development . 2 . The entire site is primarily flood plain with the building sites composed of fill in the portion of the lot outside of the flood plain to bring it to street grade with 2 : 1 slopeback ( fill permit issued February 1976) . 3. Based on the duplex density set forth in the Neighborhood Plan I and the amount of developable land not in the flood plain a total of eight units may be constructed on the site . Four units, in duplex structures, may be built in this phase . At such time as S .W. Hill Street or S.W. Ash Street is ex- tended to provide better neighborhood traffic circulation the remaining four units may be built on the remainder of the 2 .26 acre parcel . 4 . The proposed site plan shows only the first phase and does not show how the second phase fits on the site . 5 . The amenity of the site is Fanno Creek and the developing greenway system. The proposed site plan does not utilize this amenity and instead backs onto it and offers a deck over the garages onto the street side of the building. '""' 7 . No sidewalks are shown . STAFF REPORT Agenda 5. 1 Design Review Board September 14, 1976 Page 2 8 . The area in back of the units shows bark dust with random tree and shrub plantings. This arrangement would not provide a pleasant or clean situation for the tenants and would be difficult to keep weed free. 9 . The east and west patio areas show only low shrubs along the property lines which will not adequately screen the area. 10 . No irrigation system is shown. 11 . The entire site does not contain adequate amounts of plant material necessary for good design and weed control . 12. No specification for the fence between the patios or the front door areas is shown. RECOMMENDATIONS : 1 . A 50 ' wide greenway easement be provided and a 6 ' pedestrian/ bike path to City standards be constructed along Fanno Creek. 2 . The flood plain area be cleared and maintained as usable open space for the future tennants . 3 . The remainder of the buildable area be planted in turf and maintained until the remaining phase of this development is initiated. 4 . Lawn be extended to the backyard and patio areas . 5 . Additional shrubs and trees be added between the patios and the property lines. 6. Hose bibbs be placed 50 ' on center. 7. Adequate amounts of plant material be added to the site. 8 . Patio screen of the same material as the building. 9 . Revised landscape plan be subject to staff approval . J STAFF REPORT Agenda 5 . 2 Design Review Board September 14, 1976 General Telephone 12460 SW Main - Tigard, Oregon DOCKET: SDR 34-76 REQUEST: Review of a proposed 11 , 000 square foot industrial building. LOCATION: Southwest corner of S .W. Tigard Street and S .W. Grant Avenue. APPLICANT: Victor Seeber I . BASIC FACTS 1 . The site is designated "Industrial" on the Tigard Community Plan and zoned M-4, Industrial Park" . 2. The Planning Commission granted a conditional use permit (CU 19-76) on 7/20/76 for an industrial building and a variance (V 9-76) reducing the sideyard setback from 50 ' to 30 ' was granted on September 7, 1976. Conditions of the conditional use permit were 1 . An agreement to participate in local improvement district on S .W. Tigard and S .W. Grant to be executed prior to issuance of building permits. 2 . Dedication of 10 ' along S .W. Tigard St . and S .W. Grant St . be executed prior to issuance of building permits . 3. Design Review Board require screen planting along the west property line to provide an effective screening to the single family dwelling to the west . 4 . Adequate provision for continuation of and access to the Fanno Creek Greenway be developed. This normally involves a 50 ' dedication on both sides of Fanno Creek. II . FINDINGS 1 . The applicant is requesting design review of a proposed 11 , 000 sq. ft . industrial building in an M-4 zone. 2 . The site is relatively flat sloping gently toward Fanno Creek. It is presently used as a pasture . 3. The surrounding land use is a single family residence on the west , and two single family residences on the east , the Fanno Creek flood plain on the south and the Burlington Northern Railroad right-of-way on the north. 4 . The proposed site plan conforms to the setback, building height landscaping, off-street parking and access requirements of the Tigard Municipal Code. 5. Adequate water and sewer service are available to serve the site. f STAFF REPORT Agenda 5 .2 Design Review Board September 14, 1976 Page 2 6 . All conditions attached by the Planning Commission have been satisfied or are in the process of being so . 7. NPO II states the need of maintaining a natural screen of plant material along Fanno Creek. 8. The landscape plan specifies 16 Mahonia Oregon Grape along the back parking lot line, Mahonica should be 4 ' on center for adequate screening. 9 . Of the seven existing oak noted on the plan several are either dead or in a deteriorated condition. 10. The landscape plan shows low plantings with an occassional small tree and a few street trees . More street trees would be needed to screen the site and keep the building in scale . 11 . In general , the plant materials are spaced too far apart for adequate impact and weed control . 12 . The planter in the center corner on the east side of the building specifies three skimmia. The addition of a vine maple in that spot would help soften the effect of the building. 13. The southeast corner specifies lawn area around the hose bibb . This amount of lawn would only be a maintenance problem. RECOMMENDATIONS : 1 . An additional 10 Mahonia should be added along the back parking lot line . 2. Applicant and staff determine which of the existing oak trees should be removed. New oak trees 1" - 12" caliper 8 ' tall shall be planted in their stead and additional oak trees be added along the west property line. 3 . Large shade trees (preferably oak) and shore pine should be planted along Grant and Tigard St . ( shown in red on the plan) . 4 . More deciduous and evergreen shrubs be added to the landscape buffer. 5. A vine maple be added to the center corner planter on the east side. 6. Gravel or steeping stones be added around the hose bibb at the southeast corner and shrubs be added to the remaining ��` area. STAFF REPORT Agenda 5. 3 Design Review Board September 14, 1976 General Telephone 12460 SW Main - Tigard, Oregon DOCKET: Review of a proposed free-standing sign . LOCATION: 13555 S .W. Pacific Highway APPLICANT: Sound I BASIC FACTS : 1 . The site is designated "Residential Commercial" on the Tigard Community Plan and zoned C-3 (General Commercial ) . 2 . The Tigard Community Plan states that the policy along Pacific Highway should be to "establish high design standards for signing and appearance" . "The development of individual properties in these areas should take into account the traffic safety and visual problems associated with strip commercial development . " FINDINGS : 1 . The sign is shown to be a revolving illumated sign 10 ' x 6 ' for a total of 120 square feet . 2 . A revolving illuminated sign 10 ' x 6 ' - 24 ' high would only add to the strip commercial look and add another visual dis- traction to the traveling public thus having an adverse impact on public safety. 3. Pacific Highway has an average daily load of 32, 000 vehicles. 4 . Section 16. 36 .040 (8) of the Tigard Municipal Code prohibits signs to project over the right-of-way. RECOMMENDATIONS : In keeping with the aim to improve the visual quality of Pacific Highway staff recommends that the sign be non-revolving and that the size of the sign be limited to total surface area. STAFF REPORT Agenda 5.4 Design Review Board September 14 , 1976 General Telephone 12460 SW Main - Tigard, Oregon DOCKET: SDR 26-76 REQUEST: Site plan review of a proposed commercial shopping center . LOCATION: S .W. Main Street and S .W. Scoffins Street APPLICANT: Payless Northwest , Inc . I . BASIC FACTS 1 . The site is designated "Retail Commercial" on the Neighborhood Plan I and zoned C-3M P.D. , Main Street Commercial Planned Development" . 2 . The planned development allowing this shopping center was approved by the City -Council 11/10/75 with the following conditions : A. Payless provide storm sewer subject to Public Works approval . B. That no left turns be permitted from or onto Pacific lilmwHighway between Main Street and Hall Blvd. and that a "No Left Turn" island be provided by the applicant on Pacific Highway. C. The land be dedicated for public street right-of-way as shown for Scoffins Street widening and the Main Street realignment . D . That Scoffins Street be developed to a 36 ' roadway and a 60 ' right-of-way to the south property line . E . That each street improvement recommendation contained in Exhibit "C" above re-executed and placed by the applicant . F . That all streets, public facility improvements be made to meet City standards including but not limited to curbs, sidewalks and storm drainage. 3. The architectural design for the main building was approved by Design Review Board 7/27/76 . II . FINDINGS 1 . The applicant is requesting site development plan review of a proposed shopping center for Payless, Albertson ' s and "*" undetermined lease spaces and buildings . 'i STAFF REPORT Agenda 5 .4 Design Review Board September 14, 1976 Page 2 2. The proposed site plan is in substantial conformance with the site plan approved by the City Council in 11/75. 3 . The landscaping plan presents level landscape beds bordering the site. These beds consist mainly of shade trees and ivy with a few shrubs. This will not sufficiently screen the expansive parking area delineated on the plan. 4 . The center parking strip shows an eight foot wide sidewalk leading from the parking area to the store . No wheelblocks are shown on the plan and it would be possible for a car overhang to obstruct pedestrian traffic . 5. No curbing for the landscaped areas has been specified. 6 . Landscape islands for the parking lot should be specified every 70 ' according to Section 18 . 58. 060 ( 1) of the Tigard Municipal Code. Several areas on the plan ignore this requirement . 7. Dedication of the area to be created by Main Street realign- ment has yet to be accomplished. In addition, a statement of the developers intended share in improving this site has not been received. 8 . No site preparation for the landscaped areas has been speci- fied. 9 . No specification are shown as to screening of the garden shop area. 10 . Site inspection of similar facilities has shown that they generate a considerable amount of litter. Litter containers and daily cleanup will be necessary for a facility of this size. 11 . No provision for bicycles have been made, without stands bicyles would likely end up chained to trees or left in front of the doors . 12 . The area will be comprised of several owners and tenants therefore provisions should be made for landscape maintenance and an automatic sprinkler system. RECOMMENDATIONS : 1 . All landscaped areas surrounding the perimeters of the pro- ject should be bermed and medium sized shrubs added to the plan . This is necessaryin order to partially screen the great expanse of parking lot proposed. STAFF REPORT Agenda 5.4 Design Review Board September 14 , 1976 Page 3 2. Areas designated for future expansion should be landscaped and bermed where they abut public roadways. This is parti- cularly important in order to clearly define the entrance drives off of Main and Scoffins and to screen the service areas . 3 . Wheelblocks should be added on both sides of the center parking strip . 4 . All landscaped areas be curbed where adjacent to parking and driving areas . 5. Additional landscape islands be added in the parking areas to provide landscaping 20 ' on center for both rows of each parking row and planted to correspond with other islands . 6 . Dedication of the area between Main and Pacific should be accomplished. In addition, because it is not feasible to landscape this area until the plans for "Liberty Park" are completed by the Park Board, the staff recommends that the developers be asked to provide minimal site improvements for this area in the form of seeding and irrigation . Additional landscaping will be provided by adjoining busi- nesses and the public . The public share will consist ivjw partially of federal matching funds already committed. Staff determines the cost of providing the developer' s share to be $,,25 per square foot . The area in question is 27, 800 sq. ft . and this share results in a $7, 000 con- tribution for this project . Either a cash contribution or a committment of labor and materials will satisfy this condi- tion . 7. Improved top soil surround the root balls of all plants and the hole for the roots be 12 to 2 times the size of the root system. All trees to be staked and guyed. 8. Peat moss be worked into the top 9-12" of soil in order to provide a more suitable medium for the ivy groundcover. 9 . The garden shop area be completely screened from the road and additional plant materials added to the abutting landscape . 10. Landscape plan for the area adjacent Hall and an irrigation plan be submitted and approved by staff . 11 . A regular maintenance program be established that would provide litter cleanup. In addition to this trash recepticals should be provided. 12 . Bike stands be available on the site. 13. A landscape maintenance firm be hired for the development and an automatic sprinkler system installed. STAFF REPORT Agenda 5 .4 Design Review Board September 14, 1976 Page 4 14 . A landscape and improvement plan for the connection to Hall Blvd. has not been submitted as previously requested by staff and should be submitted for staff approval . 15. An irrigation plan has not been submitted and should be submitted for staff. STAFF REPORT Agenda 5.4 f Design Review Board September 14 , 1976 RECOMMENDATIONS : Staff recommends approval with the following conditions : 1 . All landscaped areas surrounding the perimeter of the project should be planted in such a manner so as to screen the park- ing lot from the public view. This could be accomplished by the addition of more shrubs and/or berms. 2 . Areas designated for future expansion should be landscaped where they abut public roadways . This is particularly important in order to clearly define the entrance drives off of Main and Scoffins and to screen the service areas . 3. Wheelblocks should be added on both sides of the center parking strip and perimeter parking. 4 . Additional landscape islands be added in the parking areas to provide landscaping 70 ' on center for both rows of each parking row and planted to correspond with other islands. WW 5. Dedication of the area between Main and Pacific should be accomplished. In addition, because it is not feasible to landscape this area until the plans for "Liberty Park" are completed by the Park Board, the staff recommends that the developers be asked to provide minimal site improvements for this area in the form of seeding and irrigation . Additional landscaping will be provided by adjoining busi- nesses and the public. The public share will consist partially of federal matching funds already committed. Staff determines the cost of providing the developer ' s share to be 25� per square foot. The area in question is 27, 800 sq . ft . and this share results in a $7,000 contribu- tion for this project . Either a cash contribution or a committment of labor and materials will satisfy this condi- tion. 6 . The garden shop area be completely screened from the road and additional plant materials added to the abutting landscape submitted to staff . 7.
