1. Meeting called to order at 7:35 P.M.
2. Present: Mortensen, Fyre, Bledsoe, Porter and Horowitz (8:15).

3. Documents received from staff were Air, Water and Land Resource Quality
on November 18, 1982, Economy on November 29, 1982, and the following
three on December 1, 1982: Transportation, Urbanization and Natural
Features and Open Space. We received also today copies of the agenda
for the Planning Commission public hearing(s) . This agenda shows almost
all topics to be considered December 7, instead of several of them on the
9th as was shown in the Tigard Times of November 23, 1982, Page 2A.
Today Associate Planner Liz Newton told Lou Ane Mortenson that the Community
Development Code will be considered in public hearing in January, not
next week.
4. NPO #3 reviewed and unanimously approved the alternate proposals for
Housing, which the secretary had typed. Also, NPO 463 approved the
cover letter to Planning Commission for all the various elements to be
presented at the public hearing(s) .
5. NPO 463 approved a preliminary draft for inclusion in 11.3 Special Areas of
Concern. For NPO 463 the special concerns center around the development of
and on S.W. 121st Avenue and S.W. Gaarde Street. Herman Porter was
assigned the task of putting this draft into final form. NPO 463 again
recommends that medium density should not be placed at 121st & Gaarde. If
the City feels it is necessary to place some 42 acres of medium density within
NPO 463 area, then NPO 463 believes the most logical place is near Highway
99 between Bull Mountain Road and Beef Bend Road, including the land shown
as CP.
6. Transportation: NPO 463 approved recommended changes and additions to the
policies and implementation strategies, and related findings. The secretary
will prepare these recommendations for presentation to the Planning
Commission. In regard to collector connections proposed by the Director
of Public Works, NPO 463 makes the following recommendations:
a. The Murray-Walnut connection. NPO 463 recommends against this route
of connecting Murray to Pacific Highway. The future connection should
go just west of Bull Mountain and/or out Scholls Ferry Road to an
Aloha-Tualatin connection. Routesresentl available include Scholls
P Y
Ferry to Highway 217 and Old Scholls Ferry to Beef Bend Road.

MINUTES NPO #3
DECEMBER 1, 1982
b. S.W. 135th Avenue extension to Bull Mountain Road. NPO #3 is in-
different about this connection, and believes the decision should be
made by the people on Bull Mountain Road who will be affected and
possibly served by such a connection. If built, it should be a smaller,
minor collector road.
c. S.W. Gaarde Street extension to the proposed S.W. 135th Avenue. NPO #3
opposes this connection. Because of the steep slopes and numerous
creeks, and in accordance with the planned low density, the area
between Walnut and Bull Mountain Road and between 121st and 135th
should be served by local streets which will probably not be designed
to form a thorough interconnecting network.
d. S.W. 121st Avenue extension to Bull Mountain Road. NPO #3 encourages
development of this connection as a smaller, minor collector. Such a
connection will serve to relieve some traffic off of S.W. Gaarde.
Also, it would help serve medium density at 121st and Gaarde, if it
is located there over NPO #3's objections. It would allow traffic from
Bull Mountain road to access neighborhoods northward without using
Pacific Highway. It need not be at 121st Avenue.
7. NPO #3 approved modifications, deletions, and additions in the Air, Water
and Land element. These will be typed and presented to the Planning Commission.
8. Herman Porter said he wanted to prepare a flyer announcing the public
hearings. Some others said they would help him pass them out.
9. Adjournment at 10:40 P.M.
