LOCATION: 9350 SW Tigard Avenue. APPLICANT: Atlas Land Company BASIC FACTS: 1. Site is designated as general industrial on the Neighbor- hood Plan II and zoned 114-4 (Industrial Park) . 2. The surrounding land use consists of an existing industrial warehouse building on the east, the Oregon Electrical Railroad tracks on the north, Fanno Creek flood plain on the south, and a five unit single story apartment building to the west. 3. Fanno Creek flood plain at this site is approximately 1511 . 4. Sd Tigard Street is designated as an arterial in the Neighborhood Plan II and the Tigard T�Tunicipal Code requires a 201 center line setback prior to measuring the required 401 front setback. 5. Sir^T Tigard Avenue is presently 40' right way. 6. Section 15.60.120 Tigard Municipal Code requires one parking space per 1000 square feet industrial uses. FUTDINGS: 1. All setbacks have been satisfied. 2. Minimum of 15 parking spaces need to be provided on the site. 12 are shown on the site plan. The other three can be added to the front of the building when the loading areas are further desigated. 3. Applicant proposed a 36' curb cut to be used jointly by the existing building and the new building which are on separate tax lots. The code requires that the tax lots either be combined or a cross agreement be executed. 4. S7".J' Tigard Street is presently in a substandard condition and needs improvement in the near future. Staff Report Design Review Board July 13, 1976 Page 2 5. SW Tigard Street is presently 401 right way whereas a 601 right way is called for in code. An additional 101 dedication appears to be necessary. 6. Section 18.58.080 Tigard 14unicipal Code requires that all areas not occupied by paved roadways, structures or walk- ways be landscaped. The applicant has shown landscaping in all the mentioned areas except immediately adjacent to the building on the Tigard Street side. Section 18.58.080 also requires that a minimum of the front 20 feet of the lot be landscaped. The site plan shows Tam Juniper, Azalea, Birch and Shore Pine. The selection of material appears to be adequate although the Juniper appears to have too large of spacing. C� 7. The site plan proposes 41 to 51 tall Shore Pine along the west side of the new building. This should adequately screen the industrial building from the existing apart- ment building. 8. The applicant proposes to locate three landscaped islands in the parking lot. The two at the front should adequately cut off the visual impact of the two parallel buildings with parking in between and should eliminate the "bowling alley" effect, as will the landscaped island adjacent to the new building. 9. The site plan proposes to have Sycamores, 8 to 10 feet tall, in the planting islands with an evergreen ground cover and flowering shrubs. Visual impact across Fanno Creek is minimized by the location of the existing oak C) and ash trees along Fanno. These will remain. 10. The code requires 611 wheel blocks on parking stalls. 11. No signing program has been submitted. 12. No irrigation system for maintenance of the landscape is shown. 13. The Tigard Municipal Code requires sidewalks serving all parcels. No sidewalk is shown on the site plan. 14. Tigard Municipal Code requires all utilities to be under- ground. Staff Report Design Review Board July 13, 1976 Page 3 Staff recommends approval of the following conditions: 1. Either a cross easement agreement be recorded assuring joint use of the access drive or the tiro lots be combined to form one tax lot. 2. An agreement to participate in future improvements to SW Tigard St. be filed with the city Recorder. 3. A dedication of 101 along S5'i Ti-ard St. be completed for future widening. 4. Landscaping along the front of the building be continued up to the building. 5. Tam Juniper be planted 41 on center. 6. The landscape islands be curbed. 7. 611 wheel blocks be provided for all parking stalls. 8. The signing program consist of a 321 directory sign with wall mounted identification signs not to exceed 121 . "N" 9. Irrigation plan be submitted to Staff for approval. 10. A 51 sidewalk be placed adjacent to the property line. 11. All utilities serving the site be placed underground. w* STAFF REPORT Agenda 5 .2 Tigard Site Development Plan and Architectural Design Review Board July 27, 1976 - 5: 00 P.M. General Telephone 12460 SW Main Street - Tigard, Oregon DOCKET: SDR 24-76 REQUEST: Site plan and architectural design review of a proposed remodel and expansion of Gaffer ' s Fish and Chips . LOCATION: 206 Tigard Plaza APPLICANT: Gaffers, Inc . BASIC FACTS : 1 . The site is designated Retail Commercial on the Neighborhood Plan II and zoned C-3 General Commercial . FINDINGS : 1 . The existing site is in the southwest corner of the Tigard Plaza. 2 . The request is for expansion of the Gaffers Restaurant into another portion of the existing building with landscaping and signing of the existing site. 3. The area shown to be landscaped on the site plan is presently covered with asphalt paving thus there is a need for adequate site preparation and the 12" top soil recommended in the site plan will not be adequate for root growth. 4 . The site proposes the addition of primarily pines with three rhododendron shrubs . The addition of more colorful shrubs would greatly enhance the site. 5 . Site plan shows the extension of the existing sidewalk. Any extension of the sidewalk should also make provision for a wheelchair ramp . 6 . The Mugho pine are shown to be 2 ' tall . They should be a minimum of five gal . 7 . The existing 30 ' x 30" sign on the east side of the, Oti*tlding is shown to be replaced with a 24 ' x 36" sign to be mounted on the new front of the building. The sign is shown to project out from the building approximately one foot . This should be flush with the building or a part of the overhang. In order to conform to the signing program for the remainder of the Tigard Plaza and that projecting signs are not allowable in this zone. Staff Report Agenda 5 . 2 July 27, 1976 Page 2 8 . No irrigation system is shown for the landscaping areas and no hose bibbs exist on the exterior of the building at this site . STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS : Staff recommends approval with the following conditions : 1 . The extension of the existing sidewalk terminate in a wheelchair ramp . 2 . The landscaped areas be supplemented by the addition of colorful shrubbery such as creeping broom, azeleas , poten- tilla. 3. Mugho Pine be a minimum of five gallon. 4 . The existing sign be placed flush with the building or part of the overhang. 5. Irrigation system be subject to staff approval . 6 . That improved top soil surround the root balls and a hole dug for the roots to be 12 to 2 times the size of the root ARW system. 7 . That the landscape plan be revised according to the altera- tions marked in red by staff on the submitted landscape plan . -arrw STAFF REPORT - Agenda 5. 2 Tigard Site Development Plan and Architectural Design Review Board July 27, 1976 - 5: 00 P.M. General Telephone 12460 SW Main Street - Tigard, Oregon DOCUMENT: SDR 26-76 REQUEST: Architectural Review only of proposed Albertsons/Payless Store in the proposed Payless Plaza. LOCATION: SW Main and SW Scoffins APPLICANT: Payless Drug Stores BASIC FACTS : 1 . The site is designated retail commercial on the Neighborhood Plan I and zoned C-3M Plan Development . 2 . The planned development allowing this shopping center was approved by the City Council on November 10, 1975, with the following conditions : 1 . Payless provide storm sewer :subject to Public Works approval . ,*AW 2 . That no left turns be permitted from or onto Pacific Highway between Main St . and Hall Blvd. and that a no left turn island be provided by the applicant on Pacific Hwy. 3. The land be dedicated for public street right of way as shown for SW Scoffins St . widening and the main street realignment . 4 . That Scoffins St . be developed to a 36 ' roadway and a 60 ' right of way to the south property line. 5. That each street improvement recommendation contained in exhibit C above be executed and placed by the applicant . 6 . That all streets, public facility improvements be made to meet City standards including but not limited to curbs, sidewalks and storm drainage . FINDINGS : 1 . The applicant is requesting architectural review of a pro- posed 70, 000 sq. ft . building to be occupied by a Payless Drug Store, an Albertsons grocery store and four lease spaces . 2 . The face of the building is shown to be primarily concrete block with a cedar shake overhang. Staff Report July 27, 1976 Page 2 3. The Albertsons and Payless areas of the building are to be off-set 20 ' as per a recommendation by the Design Review Board during the preliminary review. The overhang is not shown on site plan to be continued around this corner. During wet weather this 20 ' gap in the canopy would be undesirable. This horizonal feature should be continued the entire length of the building and wrapped around the corners much the same as done on the west portion of the building. 4 . No east or south elevation of the Payless building are shown and no east elevation of the lease space adjacent Albertsons . 5 . The site is below grade of the Pacific Hwy. overpass thus the traveling public has a direct view onto the flat roof of the proposed building. Normally this area is dotted with air-conditioning units and other mechanical features. The submitted architectural plan does not specify mechanical location nor does it show screening which may be necessary. They should be either located in the rear of the building, or if on the roof they should be effectively screened. 6. No signing program has been submitted by the applicant . The only information provided on the signing are on the elevations provided. These two signs show a 32 ' by 5 ' Albertson sign and a 52 ' by 5 ' Payless sign, both on a white stucco background. 7. The front face of the building (York Block and Split-Face Concrete Block) should be continued the entire face of the building much the same manner as the cedar shake over- hang and the spacing of the wood beam columns have . 8 . There is evidence of illegal subdivision on the site. This is not a major factor in the Architectural review but should be remedied prior to any submission for site plan review. 9 . In that there is a 7, 000 sq. ft . lease building to the rear of the building the architectural amenities depicted for the front portion of the building should also be pro- vided for the rear . For example the chainlink fence shown for the rear of the Albertsons should become an extension of the building ( ie broken face block) . The parking lot to the rear leads staff to the conclusion that entry from either side should be provided for at least one of the two stores . Payless is most favorably situated for this purpose. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS : Staff recommends approval of the front ans southwest elevation and denial of the rear elevations with the following conditions : Staff Report July 27, 1976 Page 3 1 . The concrete block and York block face of the building be continued the entire length of it . 2 . The cedar shake overhang be continued around the corner between Payless and Albertson ' s much the same as on the west elevation of the building. 3. A signing program for the entire site be submitted to Design Review prior to the issuance of any sign permit . 4 . The location of exterior mechanical units be approved by the Design Review Board with particular concern for the screening of roof mounted units . 5. Violations of the subdivision ordinance be rectified prior to site plan review. 6 . The elevation found lacking in staff finding number 4 be submitted for approval . STAFF REPORT Agenda 5 . 3 Tigard Site Development Plan and Architectural Design Review Board July 27, 1976 - 5 :00 P.M. General Telephone 12460 SW Main Street - Tigard, Oregon DOCUMENT: SDR 24-76 REQUEST: Site plan review of a proposed 20 space parking lot LOCATION: Byer ' s Photo Equipment - 6955 SW Sandberg Rd. APPLICATION: Don Byer - Byer ' s Photo Equipment BASIC FACTS : 1 . The site is designated General Industrial on the Tigard Community Plan and zoned M-4, Light Industrial . 2 . The site is presently in turf with unkept landscaping along the north portion of the site . There are two large old cherry trees and two large Douglas Fir in the area of the parking lot . These are shown to remain . Surrounding land use in this immediate area is Torro Manufacturing on the west and Hyster Manufacturing to the immediate north. FINDINGS : 1 . The parking spaces shown on the site plan are 9 ' wide . Section 18 . 60. 160 requires parking stalls be 916" wide. This can be accomplished by moving the parking area either east or west . 2 . The site plan shows that the parking area will have "new asphalt paving" , but no cross section of paving is shown . Section 18 .60. 170 of the Tigard Municipal Code requires parking lots to be improved to local street standards . 3 . The two planting islands in the parking lot are shown to be three feet wide . This is a rather small area and should be expanded to 51 ; especially with the type of Pin Oak that are shown for the landscaping strips . Pin Oak has a span of 40 ' and a trunk width at maturity of three to four feet . 4 . No groundeover is shown in the planter strips. The addition of ivy would be adequate . 5 . The driveway is shown to enter at the street at 281 . Section 18 . 34 . 030 of the Tigard Municipal Code requires that curb cut to be 301 . Upon inspection it was discovered that the distance between the two Douglas Fir trees is less than 25 ' . A driveway constructed at that point and not disturb- ing the Douglas Fir is desirable . This can be achieved by Staff Report Agenda 5. 3 Design Review Board July 27, 1976 Page 2 a variance to the Tigard Municipal Code issued by the Planning Commission . 6. Adequate back space for the eastern portion of the site is provided. 7. The site plan proposes to use the original landscaping plan at the time of construction of the building, June 22 , 1973 . Site plan shows Photinia Fraseria which are presently on the site . Any which are in that area of the proposed parking should be moved back and retained . Also the addi- tion of the same type of Baltic ivy as existing on the Hyster site planting strip adjacent to this planting area be also continued. 8. There are presently three coast pine to immediately east of the parking lot one of which is dead. This should be replaced by a similiar size tree. 9 . There is an approximately 10 ' change of elevation from the Douglas Fir trees down to the existing parking area. This presently is in barkdust and a few low evergreens . Evidence of erosion is apparent . The driving of cars in the general area will tend to increase that erosion . The addition of landscaping such as ivy or juniper would help stabilize that bank. 10. There is one hose bibb on the north side of the building. This will be no closer than 60 ' from the landscaping. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS : Staff recommends approval with the following conditions : 1 . The planting strip be widened to 51 . 2 . All parking spaces be 9 '6" in width . 3 . The original landscape plan be adhered to with the addition of ivy along the area between Hyster and the parking lot and replacement of dead coast pine along the east perimeter of the parking lot . 4 . Asphalt paving be to standard for local streets . 5 . Irrigation plan be submitted to staff for approval . 6. Groundcover be added to the sloped area from around the north edge of the existing parking lot . 7 . A variance be acquired reducing the width of the curb/cut from SW Sandberg in order to save the two existing Douglas Fir trees. STAFF REPORT Agenda 5. 5 Tigard Site Development Plan and Architectural Design Review Board July 27, 1976 - 5 : 00 P.M. General Telephone 12460 SW Main Street - Tigard, Oregon DOCKET: SDR 28-76 REQUEST: Site plan and architectural review of a 1200 sq. ft . greenhouse LOCATION: 12555 SW Hall Blvd APPLICANT: Michael D. Fahlman BASIC FACTS: 1 . The site is designated Urban-Medium Density Residential Neighbor- hood Plan I and zoned A-2 Multi-Family Residential . 2. A conditional use permit for the greenhouse was approved by the Planning Commission November 25, 1975, and approved with the following conditions : 1 . Approval subject to Design Board review as such time as expansion is undertaken . Providing a commercial access is to be from SW Scoffins St . The site has one residential dwelling and an existing greenhouse . Surrounding land use is apartments behind and to the south . 3 . The setback requirements in a A-2 zone are; front yard set- back of 20 ' and sideyard setback of 5 ' . The Tigard Municipal Code further requires in Section 18 . 12 . 100 that a 40 ' additional setback along SW Hall Blvd be required thus not allowing any permanent structures 60 ' from the center line. Site plan shows the front yard distance to be less than that . 4 . The exterior of the greenhouses is proposed to be plastic . This should be effectively screened from both the apartments to the south and the traveling public on SW Hall Blvd. The plantings of either arbor vitae or other 5 to 8 ' evergreen plant material would be adequate . 5 . The Tigard Municipal Code requires all business activity to be carried on within structures . The site presently has out- side display areas . These are in violation of the code and should be remedied. 6. The exterior finish of the greenhouse is proposed to be visqueen. This is a thick plastic and is very temporary with a very limited life and tends to age and deteriorate rapidly. This appears to be an inadequate exterior finish and should be a fiberglass or glass exterior which would be more attractive and lasting on the site. Staff Report Agenda 5 . 5 July 27, 1976 Page 2 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS : Due to the inadequate setback from SW Hall and the inferior exterior material staff recommends DENIAL. `wrr M}'MORANDU TO: Design Review Board FROM : Planning Staff RE : City Attorney Opinion on Design Review Board authority over signs . At the June 22nd meeting, the question as to the role and authority of the Design Review Board in reviewing signs arose. Upon your directive, an opinion from the City Attorney was sought . His verbal reply to the Planning Director was as follows : 1 ) Si ;-ns attached to a building are part of that structure and are thus revin able as a part of tate building architecture . 2) Free standing signs are structures within the standard definition used in the Tigard Municipal Code , Uniform � Building Code and numerous courtc-ases on the subject . Therefore signs, either free stranding or attachVd , are reviewable and within the jurisdiction of the Desig&, Review Board to regulate. Signing programs will now be unifbrmily required as past of the submission . burr 'OEMORA\D1314 To : Design Review I3oard From: Planning Commission Staff Pe : 1 Street Improvement for SW Church of Christ In reviewing the detail plans for construction and street improvements for the Southyest Church of Christ at Sod Durham Road and SW 98th Avenue (SDR, 1.8--76 approved 5,/25/76) the Engineering Department has reqs.ested that condi_tion nu;�ber 5 "A half street i r_provement be made from the access .point, on SW 98th Avenue around to the Durhnm Road right-of-way line; street improvements on SW 98th Avenue to be provided during the later phases of the church development" be modified . This re c onmendation is basad primarily on the reasoning that normally the improvement of such a short segment of a. collector is not cost efficient . Three alternative options readily present themselves : 1 . Require an agreement to participate in an L. I .D. on SI'v 38th Avenue :for future street improvement. . 2 . Inprove the entire length of Sid 98th Avenue along the subject property at this time . 3. Improve the entire length of SW 98th Avenue along the subject property as the parcel further develops and a no -re-iionsl _ ance agreement at this t.i in .The Planning staff recommends the third option .
