In addition to the seven voting members there is representation from the Planning Commission, Youth Advisory Council, and the Tigard-Tualatin School District. 1 Why does Tigard need to acquire: More Open Space? More Wetlands? More Park Land? The 1999 Parks Master Plan calls for 11 acres of parks per 1 ,000 residents. 2 Reality • Actual acreage: — less than 8 acres per 1,000 residents. • Compared to other communities: — Portland has 44 acres per 1,000 — Lake Oswego has 16 acres per 1,000 — Tualatin and THP&RD have 8 acres per 1,000 • Of the 351 acres of park land, 179 acres are developed. • There are NO parks in Northeast or Southwest Tigard e 1 r ,• _ Tusiel9n Duffam 3 The build-able lands map (on display) shows land that may be available for: Parks Green Space The following are open space sites x t 4 FAA a If we don't act quickly. . . look what will happen 6 t Tigard residents want more parks The results of a survey conducted in 2004 show that: • Residents were in favor of a $5 million bond measure (9¢ annually per $1,000 of assessed property value) to purchase wetlands and green space by 49% to 38%. • Residents supported the statement "I like the idea that the city is considering the protection of natural wetlands and greenways. I favor the idea that would preserve our natural resources" by 69% to 25%. 7 Land Acquisition Funding Sources • Park System Develop Charges • Grants — METRO — Tualatin Basin Partners for Natural Places — Oregon Park & Recreation Department • Non-Profit Organizations — Three Rivers Land Conservancy — Trust for Public Land • Green Space - Parks Bond Levy — $10 million bond (possibly in the future) — $10M bond = 18¢ annually/$1,000 assessed value 1 Canterbury Water Site—Briefing Info 1)background on this site a.Water property This property belongs to the Tigard Water District. Canterbury Water site is in the fenced yard at this site. There are 2 water tanks. Rich Sattler to provide some details b.Water tanks—see above c.Tigard House House of one of the original townspeople,city named for him. House was moved to this site from the original site(where?). The house is open to the public,and cared for by a non-profit. d. Right of Way There is a right of Way across the southern end of the property. Murdock is designated as a neighborhood connector, by engineering. Road opposed by many neighbors. Right of way is in area of natural woods that has been deteriorating for years. A lot of the natural trees are now gone,and blackberries are the primary plant in the area. Recently another 21 trees were taken out because they were dead or deteriorating,and were a hazard. e.Tree stand Probably was originally planted as a Christmas tree stand. Spacing is_x_and there are approximately_trees in the_acre area. This is at least 4 times as many as should be there. Thinning would be the right thing to do by many standards(forestry,aesthetics, use,safety) f. Radio tower for emergency services is scheduled to be built on the site. Also was opposed by some neighbors. g.Open grass area Already receives regular mowing. Garbage cans,tables could be easily added to the area. A small playground could be added if desired to this area. 2) maps of site as is and how it will look in the future minus trees and placement of potential playground,etc. a.Aerial Photo Shows location of the features of the area. b. pictures of trees and brambles as they exist. 3)what is the cost of tree/brush removal,playground,other? a.Tiger mower removal of blackberry is probably not a good idea because of past damage to trees. b.Crew and volunteer upkeep. Crews and volunteers to cut and remove the blackberries. Probably 40 to 80 hrs of city crew labor to cut initial blackberries. A good site for a make a difference day project in Sept.or Oct. Organize a planting party for volunteers. City crews to spray the blackberries over the next year.Volunteers to continue with upkeep,there is already one who helps there.. 4)what process will be used to go to neighborhood re: plan-this would be a neighborhood meeting. through getting the water district approval a.
