Minutes : 4 . Communication : 5. 1 SDR 50-77 Canterbury Wood Apartments An appeal by Peter Hoffman of condition number 1 of the staff approval that "Exterior siding be cedar with natural stain" for an A-2 planned development at S .W. 119th Avenue (Wash. Co . Tax Map 2S1-10AD, Lot 8800) . 5 .2 SDR 2-78 Hunziker Industrial Park An appeal by John B . Hering of a staff denial on the site plan and architect services of an 84 ,000 square foot warehouse at S .W. Hunziker & S .W. 77th « , Place (Wash . Co. Tax Map 2S1-1BD, Lot 101) . 6. Other Business : 7. Adjournment : April 18, 1.978 SITE DESIGN REVIEW 2-78 HUNZIKER INDUSTRIAL PARK Request : For site plan and architectural review of an 84,000 square foot warehouse . Applicant : Blake Hering Site Location and gescription: S .W. Hunziker Rd. & S .W. 77th Place (Wash. Co. Tax Map 2S1-lBD, Lot 101.) . The lot is relatively flat with no significant vegetation. The -site is highly visible from S .W. Hunziker and Highway 217 . Proposed Use : The applicant is proposing to build a warehouse for multi-tenant use . Previous Action: MLP-9-76 - On December 21, 1976 , the Tigard Planning Commission approved a minor land partition for the site in question. Lot 101 ' s east boundary line is detailed differently from that approved by the Planning Commission. This deviation should be recorded with the City of Tigard and Washington County. Required Parking: i Projected warehouse space 75 ,600 t 1 ,000 = 75 . 6 Projected office space 8,400 _ 350 = 24.0 '99.b, or 100 spaces Site Plan and Architectural Review: The applicant is proposing to build on 84,000 square foot warehouse approximately 600 ' long and 140' wide. This is an unusually large building for the Tigard area, and therefore, raises the following concerns : The site is highly visible from both Hunziker Rd. and Hwy 217 . It is the intent of design review to present an aesthetic view to the public . This location is not only viewed by community traffic , but also will represent Tigard to the through traffic on Hwy. 217 . When dealing with a building of this scale , an effort should be made to minimize or eliminate adverse visual effects . The architect has proposed to use exposed aggregate concrete tilt-up and metal canopies to achieve this aim. Staff has had several meetings with the architect and applicant on this matter, and has come to the conclusion that while the use of exposed aggregate is commendable, it ' s impact will be negligible - especially for Traffic on Hwy. 217 . The canopy placement (across the front of the building, with very small breaks) could add to the repetitiveness of the building. Since the purpose of design review is "to stimulate creative design" , the architect should further explore a means of treating such a large building mass . A review of the site plan is not relevant at this point, since possible architectural changes could alter it . However, it should be noted that the preliminary landscape plan demonstrates a great Ar n �-F ,nn-4 f- -4 1- � to i'}in c4 t'n Gln I }-ho 4 71A11 QV-ri n 11_P SITE DESIGN REVIEW 2-78 HUNZIKER INDUSTRIAL PARK Page 2 - Continued Staff Recommendations Staff recommends denial , and suggests that the standard fee be waived, and a revised plan be submitted which: 1 . Visually breaks up the excessively long and redundant facade of the building. 2 . Reserves the frontages on Hunziker and 217 for the proposed office tenants in order to offer a more aesthetic exposure to these two roadways . For example, office space will allow for window placement and possibly a lower profile, (e .g. , pitched roof) as opposed to the blank wall at the end of the warehouse. f Dick Bolen, Planning Director JOHN B.

Tigard, Oregon SDR 50-77 Canterbury Woods Apartment Applicant : Peter Hoffman Request : For site plan and architectural review of a 76 unit , multi- family housing project .- Location : roject .Location : SW 109th Avenue (Wash. Co. Tax Map 2S1_10AD, Tax Lot 8800) The site is bordered on the north and east by apartments and 109th Street on the south by a single family home and on the west by a vacant parcel . Site Designation : The site is zoned A--2 Planned Development and designated as a Transitory area from "Residential-Commercial" to "Urban Low Density Residential" in the Tigard Community Plan 1971. Proposed Use : �rrr The applicant is proposing to build 76 multi-family units in accordance with the approved planned development . Site Description: The site is 7. 16 acres in size and slopes to the south with an approximately 40 ' grade change from the north property line to the south. Three quarters of the site is in climax growth fir trees . Previous Action : ZC 4-75 On November 8, 1976, the Tigard City Council approved a 76 unit planned development subject to the following conditions : 1. . That S111 109th Avenue be improved to City standards of 34 ' pavement width on a 50 ' right-of-way from its existing end point through the intersection with the southerly loop drive entirely on the applicant ' s property and a 25 ' right- of-way be provided along the rest of the paree:l. 's west property line . The transition from the 50 foot right-of- way section to the 25 foot right-of-way section will occur on the applicant ' s property , thereby necessitating the dedication of a triangular shaped parcel (B on map) . Page 2 SDR 50-77 2 . The areas along the loop drive not shown for parking spaces be signed to prohibit parking along that street . 3. A 15 ' wide easement for public sewers be established. 4. All sidewalk and trails terminate in wheelchair ramps. r 5. Street lights to P.G.E. standards for Engineering Division approval . 6. The trail shown in the northern half of the development ' be 5 ' asphalt paths and the trail on the southern portion be left natural with minimal improvements of crushed gravel of three to four inches of compacted bark. 7. A minimum of six picnic tables be established within the forested area; design and location subject to approval by Planning Director. 8 . Additional right-of-way to be acquired on southerly point of proposed improvement of 109th, in order to allow transition of road to connect with presently dedicated part of 109th to the south. Site ' Plan and Architectural Review: The applicant is proposing to construct 9, two-story buildings around a circular loop road. Each building incorporates a landscaped court yard, garages and covered decks . The siding is specified as either stained cedar or light brown aluminum. Since the main theme of the Planned Development was to blend. the units into the natural setting, cedar siding would be preferred. The major concern with the site, is that as many trees as possible be saved. Because of the dense growth, a tree survey is infeasible at this stage, however, after the grading of the loop road a tree survey should be done in order to determine the exact location of parking spaces and buildings . Those trees which will be adjacent to construction activity should be examined by a certified tree surgeon for the necessary branch and root pruning, and treatment for changes in grade. A landscape plan has been submitted for the northern portion of lot which is devoid of vegetation. Landscape material is sparce and not in compliance with the planned development program which proposed "Those areas north of the tree line will be planted with deciduous trees of various heights and types to harmonize with existing landscaping . . , Each building will be adequately planted with low shrubs , i . e . , azalias , rhododendrons , etc. " Page 3 . TIGARD DESIGN REVIEW SDR 5Q-77 Therefore a revised landscape plan and irrigation plan for the portion north of the tree line . fulfilling this portion of the Planned Development program should be received prior to issuance of a building permit . Details for dumpster screens, mailboxes, and picnic areas should also be included in this submission. A landscape plan for the area south of the tree line should be received before issuance of occupancy permits . The reasoning behind this deviation from normal procedure is that a better plan can be designed after the buildings are in place since it will coincide with vegetation loss due to construction activity. The site plan also `'specifies a large number of trees to be removed around the recreation building and lawn installed in their place. According to the adopted Planned Development program "Areas within the tree line will be left as much as possible in their natural state . . . preserve the major grouping of tall fir trees" . Therefore the trees should be retained in this area and the cleared portion of the site used for activities that require lawn. According to the Tigard Police Department the proposed project is in one of higher crime areas of the City . Since the Planned `4w- Development incorporates a trail system through heavily wooded areas it was their concern that some type of lighting be provided at points along the trail and near the picnic areas. Therefore the plan should be revised to include decorative vandal-resistant lights in the appropriate locations. Code requirements for parking have been fulfilled, however it is staff 's experience that overflow parking for guests should be provided when possible . It is appropriate for this development in particular since double parking in the loop road could cause a great deal of congestion. Therefore additional parking should be added where possible along the northern property line. No drainage or grading plan has been submitted. These should be submitted for Planning and Building Departments approval and should be oriented so as to have a minimum impact on the site. Staff Recommendation : Staff recommends approval as submitted with following conditions : 1 . Exterior siding be cedar with natural stain . 2 . The following steps be .followed in construction of the Planned Development : 14,1W Page 4 SDR 50--77 a. Grading and drainage plan be submitted for planning and building department approval prior to. issuance of a grading permit for the- loop road. b. After grading of the loop road a tree survey be done and staff and the applicant determine the need for minor shifting of the units and exact location of the parking stalls. (prior to issuance of building permit) . C. A tree surgeon with suitable qualifications , to determine what work will be necessary to insure the survival of trees which will be affected by construction . (Prior to issuance of building permit) . d. Landscape and irrigation plan for the area north of the tree line, details for dumpsters , mailboxes and picnic areas be submitted prior to issuance of building permit . x e. Site plan be revised to include decorative and vandal resistant lighting along the trail system and in the picnic areas. f. Landscape plan for the area south of the tree line be received prior to issuance of occupancy permits. 3 . As per City Council condition 1 & 8, construction documents, street dedication compliance and performance bonds be submitted for engineering department approval prior to issuance of a building permit .
