SECTION VI. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA AND FINDINGS
18.795 Map and Text Amendments
18.795.030 Quasi-Judicial Amendments
A. Approval process.
1. Quasi-judicial zoning map amendments that do not require a comprehensive plan map
amendment shall be processed through a Type III-PC procedure, as provided in Section
18.710.070.
TRILLIUM HILL PAGE 10 OF 33 NOTICE OF DECISION
PLANNING COMMISSION
2. Quasi-judicial comprehensive plan map amendments shall be processed through a Type III-
Modified procedure, as provided in Section 18.710.080, which shall be decided by the city council
with a recommendation by planning commission.
3. Quasi-judicial zoning map amendments that require a comprehensive map plan amendment
shall be processed through a Type III-Modified procedure, as provided in Section 18.710.080,
which shall be decided by the city council with a recommendation by planning commission.
The applicant is requesting a concurrent review for a zone change and subdivision approval. The proposal includes a
zone change from R-3.5 to R-4.5, which does not require a comprehensive plan amendment. The comprehensive
plan designation will remain the same, Low Density Residential. Therefore, the Type III-PC procedure applies.
B. Approval criteria. A recommendation or decision for a quasi-judicial zoning map amendment or
quasi-judicial comprehensive plan amendment shall be based on the following:
1. Demonstration of compliance with all applicable comprehensive plan policies and map
designations; and
The applicant is proposing a zone change from R-3.5 to R-4.5. Both zones are within the low-density residential
comprehensive plan designation, therefore, the property will continue to comply with the applicable comprehensive
plan policies and the existing comprehensive plan map designation. This criterion is met.
2. Demonstration that adequate public services exist to serve the property at the intensity of
proposed zoning. Factors to consider include the projected service demands of the property, the
ability of the existing and proposed public services to accommodate the future use, and the
characteristics of the property and development proposal, if any.
The proposed development will result in increased demand on public facilities, however, with the proposed localized
improvements to water, sanitary sewer, and storm drainage systems, street improvements and payment of System
Development Charges (SDCs), the site will be adequately served by public facilities.
The proposal includes extending a new water line from an existing line in SW Lady Marion Drive to connect to SW 109th
Drive and installation of required fire hydrants as determined by TVF&R. Sanitary sewer will also be extended from
existing lines in SW 109th Ave and SW Lady Marion Drive. Stormwater will be collected via storm pipes and catch basins
within the new public and private streets. The stormwater will be conveyed to a stormwater facility (Tract B) before
discharging into the city’s system. Other utilities will be provided to the site through underground lines at the time of
building construction. The development will extend SW Lady Marion Drive to the west to connect to SW 109th Avenue,
providing curb, gutter, sidewalk and planter strip. As described above, through the proposed improvements to the public
systems and payment of SDCs, the development will be adequately serviced by public services.
FINDING: Based on the analysis above, all of the applicable map and text amendments criteria have been fully met.

B. Calculating minimum and maximum densities. The method for calculation of minimum and maximum
densities is provided in Chapter 18.40, Measurements.
The proposed subdivision is for fourteen lots. The gross site area is 143,506 square feet and after the required right-of-
way dedication and private street (31,294 square feet), the net development area is 112,212 square feet. The site does not
have any sensitive lands or lands dedicated for parks. The maximum density is fourteen lots (112,212 / 7,500 = 14.9) and
the minimum density is eleven lots (14.9 x 0.8 = 11.9). Densities were calculated in compliance with Chapter 18.40. As
proposed, the subdivision meets density requirements. This standard is met.
18.110.050 Development Standards
A. Compliance required. All development must comply with:
1. All of the applicable development standards for the applicable base zone, except where the applicant
has obtained variances or adjustments in compliance with Chapter 18.790, Variances and
Adjustments; and
2. All other applicable standards and requirements contained in this title.
B. Development standards. Development standards of residential zones are in Table 18.110.3.

The minimum lot size for the R-4.5 zone is 7,500 square feet. The applicant proposes to utilize lot averaging for this
subdivision, with an average lot size of 7,645 square feet. Four (4) of the proposed lots (Lots 1, 6, 7, and 10) are below
the minimum lot size requirement of 7,500 square feet, but are not less than 80 percent of the minimum, which meets
the provision outlined in TDC 18.930.020.D. The minimum lot width required for a detached unit in the R-4.5 zone is
50 feet. All proposed parcels exceed this requirement because the narrowest lot has an average lot width of approximately
55 feet, and the widest lot has an average lot width of approximately 90 feet.
Compliance with the development standards for the R-4.5 zone will be confirmed during the building permit submittal
process for all future development. These standards are met.
18.310 Off-Street Parking and Loading Requirements
18.310.030 General Provisions
A. Vehicle parking plan requirements. A development permit shall not be issued or land use approval
granted until plans are approved as provided by this title that demonstrate how off-street parking and
loading requirements are met.
The applicant is not proposing any development on the subject lots at this time. Accordingly, compliance with this
standard will be confirmed during the building permit submittal process for all future development. This standard is met.
B. Location of vehicle parking. The location of off-street parking will be as follows:
1. Off-street parking spaces for single-family and duplex dwellings and single-family attached
dwellings shall be located on the same lot as the dwelling(s) it serves.
The applicant is not proposing any development on the subject lots at this time. Accordingly, compliance with this
standard will be confirmed during the building permit submittal process for all future development. This standard is met.
18.310.070 Off-Street Parking Requirements
A. Off-street parking requirements. The ratios for providing minimum and maximum vehicle parking
spaces are provided in Table 18.310.2.
TDC Table 18.765.2 requires a minimum of one (1) parking space per dwelling unit. The applicant is not proposing any

C. Certificate of occupancy. Certificates of occupancy shall not be issued unless the requirements of this
chapter have been met or other arrangements have been made and approved by the city such as the
posting of a bond.
D. Protection of existing plants. Existing plants on a site shall be protected as follows:
1. The developer shall provide methods for the protection of existing plants to remain during the
construction process;
2. The plants to remain shall be noted on the landscape plans (i.e., plants to remain can be shown as
protected with fencing); and
3. The tree protection provisions outlined in Chapter 18.520, Urban Forestry and the Urban Forestry
Manual shall apply to the land use applications in Section 18.520.020.
E. Ongoing tree-related rules and regulations. Any trees used to meet the requirements of this chapter shall
be subject to all applicable tree-related rules and regulations in other chapters of this title and titles of
the Tigard Municipal Code. (Ord. 12-09 §1)
The accepted planting procedures are the guidelines described in the Tigard Urban Forestry Manual. These guidelines
follow those set forth by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) tree planting guidelines, as well as the standards
set forth in the most recent edition of the American Institute of Architects’ Architectural Graphic Standards. In the
Architectural Graphic Standards, there are guidelines for selecting and planting trees based on the soil volume and size at
maturity. Additionally, there are directions for soil amendments and modifications. These standards are met, and will be
further addressed in Section 18.520 Urban Forestry Plan of this administrative decision.
18.320.040 Street Trees
A. Street trees shall be required as part of the approval process for the following land use applications:
conditional use (Type III), downtown design review (Type II and III), minor land partition (Type II),
planned development (Type III), site development review (Type II), and subdivision (Type II and III).
B. The minimum number of required street trees shall be determined by dividing the linear amount of
street frontage within or adjacent to the site (in feet) by 40 feet. When the result is a fraction, the
minimum number of required street trees shall be determined by rounding to the nearest whole number.
C. Street trees required by this section shall be planted in compliance with the street tree planting standards
in the Urban Forestry Manual.
D. Street trees required by this section shall be provided adequate soil volumes in compliance with the
street tree soil volume standards in the Urban Forestry Manual.
E. Street trees required by this section shall be planted within the right-of-way whenever practicable
according to the street tree planting standards in the Urban Forestry Manual. Street trees may be planted
no more than 6 feet from the right-of-way in compliance with the street tree planting standards in the
Urban Forestry Manual when planting within the right-of-way is not practicable.
F. An existing tree may be used to meet the street tree standards provided that:
1. The largest percentage of the tree trunk immediately above the trunk flare or root buttresses is either
within the subject site or within the right-of-way immediately adjacent to the subject site;
2. The tree would be permitted as a street tree in compliance the street tree planting and soil volume
standards in the Urban Forestry Manual if it were newly planted; and
TRILLIUM HILL PAGE 15 OF 33 NOTICE OF DECISION
PLANNING COMMISSION
3. The tree is shown as preserved in the tree preservation and removal site plan, tree canopy cover site
plan, and supplemental report, as required by Section 18.520.030, of a concurrent urban forestry plan
and is eligible for credit towards the effective tree canopy cover of the site.
G. In cases where it is not practicable to provide the minimum number of required street trees, the approval
authority may allow the applicant to remit payment into the urban forestry fund for tree planting and
early establishment in an amount equivalent to the city’s cost to plant and maintain a street tree for 3
years for each tree below the minimum required.
The linear amount of street frontage adjacent to this site is 1,102 feet; therefore, the site is required to have a minimum
of 28 street trees (1,102 feet divided by 40 feet, rounded to the nearest whole number). The applicant provided a tree
canopy site plan that shows 39 new street trees will be planted at this site. Furthermore, the project arborist (Morgan
Holen & Associates, LLC) submitted an Urban Forestry Plan Supplemental Report, which describes how the street trees
will be maintained according to the Street Tree Planting Standards and Street Tree Soil Volume Standards that are outlined
in the Urban Forestry Manual. These standards are met.
18.520 Urban Forestry
18.520.020 Applicability
A. The requirements of this chapter apply to the following land use applications:
7. Subdivision (Type II).
This application is for a Type III Zone Change and Type II Subdivision. Accordingly, the requirements of TDC 18.5200
Urban Forestry apply.
18.520.030 Urban Forestry Plan Requirements
A. Urban forestry plan requirements. An urban forestry plan shall:
1. Be coordinated and approved by a landscape architect (the project landscape architect) or a person
that is both a certified arborist and tree risk assessor (the project arborist), except for minor land
partitions that can demonstrate compliance with effective tree canopy cover and soil volume
requirements by planting street trees in open soil volumes only;
An Urban Forestry Plan that was coordinated and approved by a certified arborist and tree risk assessor (the project
arborist) has been submitted. This standard is met.
2. Meet the tree preservation and removal site plan standards in the Urban Forestry Manual;
A tree preservation and removal site plan that meets the standards set forth in the Urban Forestry Manual has been
submitted. This standard is met.
3. Meet the tree canopy site plan standards in the Urban Forestry Manual; and
A tree canopy site plan that meets the standards set forth in the Urban Forestry Manual has been submitted. In addition,
the project arborist has included a signature of approval and statement attesting that the tree canopy site plan meets all of
the requirements in Section 10, Part 2 of the Urban Forestry Manual. This standard is met.
4. Meet the supplemental report standards in the Urban Forestry Manual.
A supplemental report was prepared and submitted by the project arborist, Morgan Holen & Associates, LLC. This report
includes the required inventory data for existing open grown trees, as outlined in Section 10, Part 3, Subsection D of the
Urban Forestry Manual. The site is zoned R-4.5; accordingly, the minimum required effective tree canopy for the entire
TRILLIUM HILL PAGE 16 OF 33 NOTICE OF DECISION
PLANNING COMMISSION
site is 40 percent, and 15 percent per lot (Section 10, Part 3, Subsections N and O of the Urban Forestry Manual). Through
the supplemental report, the project arborist demonstrates how the effective tree canopy for the entire site is 40.4 percent,
and over 15 percent for each lot. This standard is met.
18.520.060 Urban Forestry Plan Implementation
C. Tree establishment. The establishment of all trees shown to be planted in the tree canopy site plan and
supplemental report of a previously approved urban forestry plan shall be guaranteed and required
according to the tree establishment requirements in the Urban Forestry Manual.
The applicant’s Urban Forestry Plan does not address tree establishment. Therefore, a condition of approval is added for
the applicant to provide a tree establishment bond that meets the requirements of the Urban Forestry Manual Section 11,
Part 2. This standard will be met through conditions of approval.
D. Urban forest inventory. Spatial and species specific data shall be collected according to the urban
forestry inventory requirements in the Urban Forestry Manual for each open grown tree and area of
stand grown trees in the tree canopy site plan and supplemental report of a previously approved urban
forestry plan.
Section 11, Part 3, Subsection B of the Urban Forestry Manual states that prior to any ground disturbance work, the
applicant shall provide a fee to cover the city’s cost of collecting and processing the inventory data for the entire Urban
Forestry Plan. Therefore, a condition of approval is added to address this requirement. This standard will be met through
conditions of approval.
18.910 Street and Utility Improvement Standards
18.910.030 Streets
A. Improvements.
1. No development shall occur unless the development has frontage or approved access to a public
street.
2. No development shall occur unless streets within the development meet the standards of this
chapter.
3. No development shall occur unless the streets adjacent to the development meet the standards of
this chapter, provided, however, that a development may be approved if the adjacent street does not
meet the standards but half-street improvements meeting the standards of this chapter are
constructed adjacent to the development.
4. Any new street or additional street width planned as a portion of an existing street shall meet the
standards of this chapter.
The development is a 14-lot subdivision adjacent to SW 109th Avenue and SW Lady Marion Drive. SW 109th Avenue is
a Neighborhood Route and SW Lady Marion Drive is a Local Street. They are both existing public streets.
The site plans show that the rights-of-ways of both SW 109th Avenue and SW Lady Marion Drive meet the City of Tigard
Neighborhood Route and Local Street cross sections at 60 feet and 54 feet respectively. A right-of-way dedication of 10
feet is proposed along the development frontage on SW 109th Avenue and a full 54-foot right-of-way dedication is
proposed for the street extension through the site connecting existing SW Lady Marion Drive to SW 109th Avenue.
The site plans also show that all the streets adjacent to the development will be improved. The improvement will include
full street construction on SW Lady Marion Drive and half-street improvements on SW 109th Avenue. All the streets are
shown to have two-way travel lanes, curb and gutter, five-foot sidewalk and five-foot planter. Bike lane will be provided
TRILLIUM HILL PAGE 17 OF 33 NOTICE OF DECISION
PLANNING COMMISSION
on SW 109th Avenue and on street parking will be provided on both sides of the street on SW Lady Marion Drive. These
criterion are met.
5. If the city could and would otherwise require the applicant to provide street improvements, the city
engineer may accept a future improvements guarantee in lieu of street improvements if one or more
of the following conditions exist:
a. A partial improvement is not feasible due to the inability to achieve proper design standards;
b. A partial improvement may create a potential safety hazard to motorists or pedestrians;
c. Due to the nature of existing development on adjacent properties it is unlikely that street
improvements would be extended in the foreseeable future and the improvement associated with
the project under review does not, by itself, provide a significant improvement to street safety or
capacity;
d. The improvement would be in conflict with an adopted capital improvement plan;
e. The improvement is associated with an approved land partition on property zoned residential
and the proposed land partition does not create any new streets; or
f. Additional planning work is required to define the appropriate design standards for the street
and the application is for a project which would contribute only a minor portion of the
anticipated future traffic on the street.
The applicant’s narrative and site plans indicate that the street improvements will be provided. The applicant does not
propose to pay a fee in lieu for street improvements. This criterion is met.
B. Creation of rights-of-way for streets and related purposes. Rights-of-way shall be created through the
approval of a final plat; however, the council may approve the creation of a street by acceptance of a
deed, provided that such street is deemed essential by the council for the purpose of general traffic
circulation.
1. The council may approve the creation of a street by deed of dedication without full compliance with
the regulations applicable to subdivisions or partitions if any one or more of the following conditions
are found by the council to be present:
a. Establishment of a street is initiated by the council and is found to be essential for the purpose
of general traffic circulation, and partitioning or subdivision of land has an incidental effect
rather than being the primary objective in establishing the road or street for public use; or
b. The tract in which the road or street is to be dedicated is an isolated ownership of 1 acre or less
and such dedication is recommended by the commission to the council based on a finding that
the proposal is not an attempt to evade the provisions of this title governing the control of
subdivisions or partitions.
c. The street is located within the mixed use central business district (MU-CBD) zone and has
been identified on Figures 5-14A through 5-14I of the City of Tigard 2035 Transportation System
Plan as a required connectivity improvement.
2. With each application for approval of a road or street right-of-way not in full compliance with the
regulations applicable to the standards, the proposed dedication shall be made a condition of
subdivision and partition approval.
a. The applicant shall submit such additional information and justification as may be necessary
to enable the commission in its review to determine whether or not a recommendation for
approval by the council shall be made.
b. The recommendation, if any, shall be based upon a finding that the proposal is not in conflict
with the purpose of this title.
c. The commission in submitting the proposal with a recommendation to the council may attach
conditions which are necessary to preserve the standards of this title
TRILLIUM HILL PAGE 18 OF 33 NOTICE OF DECISION
PLANNING COMMISSION
3. All deeds of dedication shall be in a form prescribed by the city and shall name “the public” as
grantee.
The existing right-of-way on SW 109th Avenue is less than the current required right-of-way. The applicant proposes to
dedicate 30 feet right-of-way from centerline along the development frontage on SW 109th Avenue to provide a full street
for two-way travel lanes and pedestrian connection. Bike lanes will also be provided. A full 54-foot right-of-way
dedication will be provided for the street extension connecting existing SW Lady Marion Drive to SW 109th Avenue.
Dedication of right-of-way will be recorded through subdivision plat approval. These criterion are met.
D. Street location, width and grade. Except as noted below, the location, width and grade of all streets
shall conform to an approved street plan and shall be considered in their relation to existing and planned
streets, to topographic conditions, to public convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to
the proposed use of the land to be served by such streets:
1. Street grades shall be approved by the city engineer in compliance with Subsection 18.910.030.N;
and
The proposed development is adjacent to SW 109th Avenue and SW Lady Marion Drive. They are existing streets and
the grades of the streets will remain unchanged. This criterion is met.
2. Where the location of a street is not shown in an approved street plan, the arrangement of
streets in a development shall either:
a. Provide for the continuation or appropriate projection of existing streets in the
surrounding areas, or
b. Conform to a plan adopted by the commission, if it is impractical to conform to existing
street patterns because of particular topographical or other existing conditions of the
land. Such a plan shall be based on the type of land use to be served, the volume of traffic,
the capacity of adjoining streets and the need for public convenience and safety.
All the existing streets are shown on the plan. This criterion is met.
E. Minimum rights-of-way and street widths. Unless otherwise indicated on an approved street plan, or as
needed to continue an existing improved street or within the Tigard Downtown Plan District, street
right-of-way and roadway widths shall not be less than the minimum width described below. Where a
range is indicated, the width shall be determined by the decision-making authority based upon
anticipated average daily traffic (ADT) on the new street segment. (The city council may adopt by
resolution, design standards for street construction and other public improvements. The design
standards will provide guidance for determining improvement requirements within the specified
ranges.) These are provided in Table 18.910.1.
The narrative and site plans indicate that the proposed development is going to construct street improvements along all
the adjacent streets. The streets will be improved to accommodate two-way travel lanes and pedestrian connections.
Street trees and streetlights will also be provided. Bike lanes and on-street parking will be provided on SW 109th Avenue
and SW Lady Marion Drive respectively.
Additionally, the applicant will also provide storm drainage system associated with all street improvements. This criterion
is met.
F. Future street plan and extension of streets.
TRILLIUM HILL PAGE 19 OF 33 NOTICE OF DECISION
PLANNING COMMISSION
1. A future street plan shall:
a. Be filed by the applicant in conjunction with an application for a subdivision or partition. The
plan shall show the pattern of existing and proposed future streets from the boundaries of the
proposed land division and shall include other parcels within 530 feet surrounding and adjacent
to the proposed land division. At the applicant’s request, the city may prepare a future streets
proposal. Costs of the city preparing a future streets proposal shall be reimbursed for the time
involved. A street proposal may be modified when subsequent subdivision proposals are
submitted.
No future street plan is proposed or deemed necessary.
b. Identify existing or proposed bus routes, pullouts or other transit facilities, bicycle routes and
pedestrian facilities on or within 530 feet of the site.
The proposed development is not adjacent to within 530 feet of a bus route. This criterion does not apply.
2. Where necessary to give access or permit a satisfactory future division of adjoining land, streets shall
be extended to the boundary lines of the tract to be developed, and
a. These extended streets or street stubs to adjoining properties are not considered to be cul-de-
sac since they are intended to continue as through streets at such time as the adjoining property
is developed.
b. A barricade shall be constructed at the end of the street by the property owners which shall not
be removed until authorized by the city engineer, the cost of which shall be included in the street
construction cost.
c. Temporary hammerhead turnouts or temporary cul-de-sac bulbs shall be constructed for stub
street in excess of 150 feet in length.
No street extension, cul-de-sac, or turnout is proposed and deemed necessary. This criterion does not apply.
H. Street alignment and connections.
1. Full street connections with spacing of no more than 530 feet between connections is required except
where prevented by barriers such as topography, railroads, freeways, pre-existing developments,
lease provisions, easements, covenants or other restrictions existing prior to May 1, 1995 which
preclude street connections. A full street connection may also be exempted due to a regulated water
feature if regulations would not permit construction.
2. All local, neighborhood routes and collector streets which abut a development site shall be extended
within the site to provide through circulation when not precluded by environmental or topographical
constraints, existing development patterns or strict adherence to other standards in this code. A
street connection or extension is considered precluded when it is not possible to redesign or
reconfigure the street pattern to provide required extensions. Land is considered topographically
constrained if the slope is greater than 15 percent for a distance of 250 feet or more. In the case of
environmental or topographical constraints, the mere presence of a constraint is not sufficient to
show that a street connection is not possible. The applicant must show why the constraint precludes
some reasonable street connection.
3. Proposed street or street extensions shall be located to provide direct access to existing or planned
transit stops, commercial services, and other neighborhood facilities, such as schools, shopping
areas and parks.
4. All developments should provide an internal network of connecting streets that provide short, direct
travel routes and minimize travel distances within the development.
TRILLIUM HILL PAGE 20 OF 33 NOTICE OF DECISION

Marion Drive will extend through the site to connect to SW 109th Avenue. These criterion are met.
I. Intersection angles. Streets shall be laid out so as to intersect at an angle as near to a right angle as
practicable, except where topography requires a lesser angle, but in no case shall the angle be less than
75° unless there is special intersection design, and:
SW Lady Marion Drive will intersects SW 109th Avenue at a right angle. This criterion is met.
1. Streets shall have at least 25 feet of tangent adjacent to the right-of-way intersection unless
topography requires a lesser distance;
At least 25 feet of tangent adjacent to the right-of-way intersection between SW Lady Marion Drive and SW 109th Avenue
will be provided. This criterion is met.
2. Intersections which are not at right angles shall have a minimum corner radius of 20 feet along the
right-of-way lines of the acute angle; and
The intersection between SW Lady Marion Drive and SW 109th Avenue will be at a right angle. This criterion is met.
3. Right-of-way lines at intersection with arterial streets shall have a corner radius of not less than 20
feet.
The development is not adjacent to arterial streets. This standard is not applicable.
J. Existing rights-of-way. Whenever existing rights-of-way adjacent to or within a tract are of less than
standard width, additional rights-of-way shall be provided at the time of subdivision or development.
The applicant proposes to dedicate 30 feet from centerline on SW 109th Avenue and a full 54 feet rights of way dedication
and SW Lady Marion Drive. This criterion is met.
K. Partial street improvements. Partial street improvements resulting in a pavement width of less than 20
feet, while generally not acceptable, may be approved where essential to reasonable development when
in conformity with the other requirements of these regulations, and when it will be practical to require
the improvement of the other half when the adjoining property developed.
No partial improvement is proposed. This criterion does not apply.
M. Street names. No street name shall be used which will duplicate or be confused with the names of
existing streets in Washington County, except for extensions of existing streets. Street names and
numbers shall conform to the established pattern in the surrounding area and as approved by the city
engineer.
New public street names are not proposed, however a private street is proposed. A name for the private street will be
Tierra Terrace, which has been approved. This criterion is met.
N. Grades and Curves.
TRILLIUM HILL PAGE 21 OF 33 NOTICE OF DECISION
PLANNING COMMISSION
1. Grades shall not exceed 10 percent on arterials, 12 percent on collector streets, or 12 percent on any
other street (except that local or residential access streets may have segments with grades up to 15
percent for distances of no greater than 250 feet); and
2. Centerline radii of curves shall be as determined by the city engineer.
The proposed development is adjacent to SW 109th Avenue and SW Lady Marion Drive. They are existing streets and

and maintained by the Homeowners Association (HOA). All tracts shall be recorded on separate documents per the
Washington County Surveyor Office.
Fire and Life Safety:
Emergency vehicle turn around, location of fire hydrants, and fire flow must be reviewed and approved by TVF&R prior
to commencement site improvements.
Public Water System:
TRILLIUM HILL PAGE 31 OF 33 NOTICE OF DECISION
PLANNING COMMISSION
The existing public water mains surrounding the proposed development are under the City of Tigard jurisdiction.
The site plans indicate that services will be provided to serve all the proposed lots either from the new eight-inch DI main
on SW Lady Marion Drive. Water meters serving Lots 10 through 14 shall be located on SW Lady Marion Drive. An
irrigation meter for the storm water quality and detention facility on Tract B is proposed off the existing water main on
SW 109th Avenue. The water system is shown being a looped system.
Prior to commencing site improvements, submit site plans as part of the PFI Permit showing all proposed and/or
extensions of public water lines, hydrants and water services to be designed in accordance with the City of Tigard
Standards to Engineering for review and approval.
NOTE: An estimated 12 percent of the water system cost will be assessed prior to approval of the City of Tigard’s PFI
Permit.
Storm Water Quality/Detention:
The City has agreed to enforce Surface Water Management regulations established by CWS Design and Construction
Standards (adopted by Resolution and Order No. 00-7) which require the construction of on-site water quality facilities.
The facilities shall be designed to remove 65 percent of the phosphorus contained in 100 percent of the storm water
runoff generated from newly created impervious surfaces. In addition, a maintenance plan shall be submitted indicating
the frequency and method to be used in keeping the facility maintained through the year.
Prior to commencing site improvements, the applicant shall obtain a CWS Stormwater Connection Authorization prior
to issuance of the City of Tigard PFI Permit. Plans shall be submitted to the City of Tigard for review. The City will
forward plans to CWS after preliminary review.
Tract B shall be dedicated to the City at final plat.
Grading and Erosion Control:
Clean Water Services Design and Construction Standards also regulate erosion control to reduce the amount of sediment
and other pollutants reaching the public storm and surface water system resulting from development, construction,
grading, excavating, clearing, and any other activity which accelerates erosion. In accordance with CWS regulations, the
applicant is required to submit an erosion control plan for City review and approval prior to issuance of City permits.
The Federal Clean Water Act requires that a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) erosion control
permit be issued for any development that will disturb one or more acre of land. Since this site is over five acres, the
developer will be required to obtain an NPDES permit from the City prior to construction. This permit will be issued
along with the site and/or building permit.
A final grading plan shall be submitted showing the existing and proposed contours. The plan shall detail the
provisions for surface drainage of all lots, and show that they will be graded to insure that surface drainage is directed
to the street or a public storm drainage system approved by the Engineering Department. For situations where the
back portions of lots drain away from a street and toward adjacent lots, appropriate private storm drainage lines shall
be provided to sufficiently contain and convey runoff from each lot.
The design engineer shall also indicate, on the grading plan, which lots will have natural slopes between 10 percent
and 20 percent, as well as lots that will have natural slopes in excess of 20 percent. This information will be necessary
in determining if special grading inspections and/or permits will be necessary when the lots develop.

TRILLIUM HILL SUBDIVISION
18.910.030 Streets
A. Improvements.
1. No development shall occur unless the development has frontage or approved
access to a public street.
2. No development shall occur unless streets within the development meet the
standards of this chapter.
3. No development shall occur unless the streets adjacent to the development meet
the standards of this chapter, provided, however, that a development may be
approved if the adjacent street does not meet the standards but half-street
improvements meeting the standards of this title are constructed adjacent to the
development.
4. Any new street or additional street width planned as a portion of an existing street
shall meet the standards of this chapter.
The development is a 14-lot Subdivision adjacent to SW 109th Ave and SW Lady Marion Drive.
109th Ave is a Neighborhood Route and Lady Marion Dr is a Local Street. They are both
existing public streets in Tigard.
The site plans show that the rights of way of both 109th Ave and Lady Marion are meeting
the City of Tigard Neighborhood Route and Local Street cross sections at 60 feet and 54
feet respectively. A right of way dedication of 10 feet is proposed along the development
frontage on 109th Ave and a full 54-foot right of way dedication is proposed for the street
extension thru the site connecting existing Lady Marion Dr to 109th Ave.
The site plans also show that all the streets adjacent to the development will be improved.
The improvement will include full street construction on Lady Marion Dr, half-street
construction on 109th Ave. All the streets are shown to have two-way travel lanes, curb and
gutter, 5-foot sidewalk and 5-foot planter. Bike lane will be provided on 109th Ave and on
street parking will be provided on both sides of the street on Lady Marion Dr.
5. If the city could and would otherwise require the applicant to provide street
improvements, the city engineer may accept a future improvements guarantee in lieu of
street improvements if one or more of the following condition exist:
Attachment 3
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PAGE 2
a. A partial improvement is not feasible due to the inability to achieve proper
design standards;
b. A partial improvement may create a potential safety hazard to motorist or
pedestrians;
c. Due to the nature of existing development on adjacent properties it is unlikely
that street improvements would be extended in the foreseeable future and the
improvement associated with the project under review does not, by itself,
provide a significant improvement to street safety or capacity;
d. The improvement would be in conflict with an adopted capital improvement
plan;
e. The improvement is associated with an approved land partition on property
zoned residential and proposed land partition does not create any new streets; or
f. Additional planning work is required to define the appropriate design standards
for the street and the application is for a project which would contribute only a
minor portion of the anticipated future traffic on the street.
The narrative and site plans indicate that the street improvements will be provided. The
Applicant does not propose to pay a fee in lieu for street improvements.
B. Creation of rights-of-way for streets and related purposes. Rights-of-way shall be
created through the approval of a final subdivision plat or major partition; however, the
council may approve the creation of a street by acceptance of a deed, provided that
such street is deemed essential by the council for the purpose of general traffic
condition.
1. The council may approve the creation of a street by deed of dedication without full
compliance with the regulations applicable to subdivisions or major partitions if any
one or more of the following conditions are found by the council to be present:
a. Establishment of a street is initiated by the council and is found to be essential
for the purpose of general traffic circulation, and partitioning or subdivision of
land has an incidental effect rather than being the primary objective in
establishing the road or street for public use; or
b. The tract in which the road or street is to be dedicated is an isolated ownership
of one acre or less and such dedication is recommended by the commission to
the council based on a finding that the proposal is not an attempt to evade the
provisions of this title governing the control of subdivisions or major partitions.
c. The street is located within the downtown mixed use central business district
and has been identified on Figure 5-14A through 5-14L of the City of Tigard 2035
Transportation System Plan as a required connectivity improvement.
2. With each application for approval of a road or street right-of-way not in full
compliance with the regulations applicable to the standards, the proposed dedication
shall be made a condition of subdivision and major partition approval.
a. The applicant shall submit such additional and justification as may be necessary
to enable the commission in its review to determine whether or not a
recommendation for approval by the council shall be made.
Attachment 3
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PAGE 3
b. The recommendation, if any, shall be based upon a finding that the proposal is
not in conflict with the purpose of this title.
c. The commission in submitting the proposal with a recommendation to the
council may attach conditions which area necessary to preserve the standards of
this title.
3. All deeds of dedication shall be in a form prescribed by the city and shall name “the
public” as grantee.
The existing right of way on 109th Ave is less than the current required right of way. The
Applicant proposes to dedicate 30 feet right of way from centerline along the development
frontage on 109th Ave to provide full streets for two-way travel lanes and pedestrian
connections. Bike lane will also be provided. A full 54-foot right of way dedication will be
provided for the street extension connecting existing Lady Marion Dr to 109th Ave.
Dedication of right of way will be recorded via subdivision plat approval.
C. Creation of access easement. The approval authority may approve an access
easement established by deed without full compliance with this title provided such an
easement is the only reasonable method by which a lot large enough to develop can be
created.
1. Access easements shall be provided and maintained in accordance with the Uniform
Fire Code, Section 10.207.
2. Access shall be in accordance with 18.705.030.H and I.
No access easement is proposed or deemed necessary.
D. Street location, width and grade. Except as noted below, the location, width and
grade of all streets shall conform to an approved street plan and shall be considered in
their relation to existing and planned streets, to topographic conditions, to public
convenience and safety, and in their appropriate relation to the purposed use of the land
to be served by such streets:
1. Street grades shall be approved by the city engineer in accordance with subsection N
of this section; and
The proposed development is adjacent to 109th Ave and Lady Marion Dr. They are existing
streets and the grades of the streets will remain unchanged.
2. Where the location of a street is not shown in an approved street plan, the
arrangement of streets in a development shall either:
a. Provide for the continuation or appropriate projection of existing streets in the
surrounding areas, or
b. Conform to a plan adopted by the commission, if it is impractical to conform to
existing street pattern because of particular topographical or other existing
conditions of the land. Such a plan shall be based on the type of land use to be
Attachment 3
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PAGE 4
served, the volume of traffic, the capacity of adjoining streets and the need for
public convenience and safety.
All the existing streets are shown on the plan.
E. Minimum Rights-of-Way and Street Widths: Unless otherwise indicated on an
approved street plan, or as needed to continue an existing improved street or within
the Downtown District, street right-of-way and roadway widths shall not be less than
the minimum width described below. Where a range is indicated, the width shall be
determined by the decision-making authority based upon anticipated average daily
traffic (ADT) on the new street segment. (The City Council may adopt by resolution,
design standards for street construction and other public improvements. The design
standards will provide guidance for determining improvement requirements within
the specified ranges.) These are presented in Table 18.810.1
1. The decision-making body shall make its decision about desired right-of-way
width and pavement width of the various street types within the subdivision or
development after consideration of the following:
a. The type of road as set forth in the comprehensive plan transportation chapter-
functional street classification.
b. Anticipated traffic generation.
c. On-street parking needs.
d. Sidewalk and bikeway requirements.
e. Requirements for placement of utilities.
f. Street lighting.
g. Drainage and slope impacts.
h. Street tree location.
i. Planting and landscape areas.
j. Safety and comfort for motorists, bicyclists, and pedestrians.
k. Access needs for emergency vehicles.
The narrative and site plans indicate that the proposed development is going to construct street
improvements along all the adjacent streets. The streets will be improved to accommodate
two-way travel lanes and pedestrian connections. Street trees and streetlights will also be
provided. Bike lane and on street parking will be provided on 109th Ave and Lady Marion Dr
respectively.
Additionally, the Applicant will also provide storm drainage system associated with all street
improvements.
F. Future street plan and extension of streets.
1. A future street plan shall:
a. Be filed by the applicant in conjunction with an application for a subdivision or
partition. The plan shall show the pattern of existing and proposed future streets
from the boundaries of the proposed land division and shall include other
parcels within 530 feet surrounding and adjacent to the proposed land division.
At the applicant’s request, the city may prepare a future streets proposal. Costs
Attachment 3
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PAGE 5
of the city preparing a future streets proposal shall be reimbursed for the time
involved. A street proposal may be modified when subsequent subdivision
proposals are submitted.
No future street plan is proposed or deemed necessary.
b. b. Identify existing or proposed bus routes, pullouts or other transit facilities,
bicycle routes and pedestrian facilities on or within 530 feet of the site.
The proposed development is not adjacent to within 530 feet of a bus route.
2. Where necessary to give access or permit a satisfactory future division of adjoining
land, streets shall be extended to the boundary lines of the tract to be developed, and
a. These extended streets or street stubs to adjoining properties are not considered
to be cul-de-sac since they are intended to continue as through streets at such
time as the adjoining property is developed.
b. A barricade shall be constructed at the end of the street by the property owners
which shall not be removed until authorized by the city engineer, the cost of
which shall be included in the street construction cost.
c. Temporary hammerhead turnouts or temporary cul-de-sac bulbs shall be
constructed for stub street in excess of 150 feet in length.
No street extension, cul-de-sac, or turnout is proposed and deemed necessary.
G. Street spacing and access management. Refer to 18.920.030.H
H. Street alignment and connections
1. Full street connections with spacing of no more than 530 feet between connections is
required except where prevented by barriers such as topography, railroads, freeways,
pre-existing developments, lease provisions, easements, covenants or other restrictions
existing prior to May 1, 1995 which preclude street connections. A full street connection
may also be exempted due to a regulated water feature if regulations would not permit
construction.
2. All local, neighborhood routes and collector streets which abut a development site
shall be extended within the site to provide through circulation when not precluded by
environmental or topographical constraints, existing development patterns or strict
adherence to other standards in this code. A street connection or extension is
precluded when it is not possible to redesign, or reconfigure the street pattern to
provide required extensions. Land is considered topographically constrained if the
slope is greater than 15% for a distance of 250 feet or more. In the case of
environmental or topographical constraints, the mere presence of a constraint is not
sufficient to show that a street connection is not possible. The applicant must show
why the constraint precludes some reasonable street connection.
3. Proposed street or street extensions shall be located to provide direct access to
existing or planned transit stops, commercial services, and other neighborhood
Attachment 3
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PAGE 6
facilities, such as schools, shopping areas and parks.

narrative indicate that Lady Marion Dr extends through the site to connect to 109th Ave.
I. Intersection angles. Street shall be laid out so as to intersect at an angle as near to a
right angle as practical, except where topography requires a lesser angle, but in no case
shall the angle be less than 75° unless there is special intersection design, and:
Lady Marion Dr will intersects 109th Ave at a right angle.
1. Streets shall have at least 25 feet of tangent adjacent to the right-of-way
intersection unless topography requires a lesser distance;
At least 25 feet of tangent adjacent to the right of way intersection between Lady Marion Dr
and 109th Ave will be provided.
2. Intersections which are not at right angles shall have a minimum corner radius of
20 feet along the right of way line of the acute angles;
The intersection between Lady Marion Dr and 109th Ave will be at a right angle.
3. Right-of-way lines intersection with arterial streets shall have a corner radius of
not less than 20 feet.
No street adjacent to the development is an Arterial St. This standard is not applicable.
J. Existing rights-of-way. Whenever existing rights-of-way adjacent to or within a tract
are less than standard width, additional rights-of-way shall be provided at the time of
subdivision or development.
The Applicant proposes to dedicate 30 feet from centerline and a full 54 feet rights of way
dedication on 109th Ave and Lady Marion Dr respectively.
K. Partial street improvements. Partial street improvements resulting in a pavement
width of less than 20 feet, while generally not acceptable, may be approved where
essential to reasonable development when in conformity with the other requirements of
these regulations, and when it will be practical to require the improvement of the other
half when adjoining property developed.
No partial improvement is proposed.
L. Cul-de-sac
No cul-de-sac is proposed or deemed necessary.
Attachment 3
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PAGE 7

1,000 vehicle trips or more per day, an applicant shall be required to identify direct,
safe (1.25 x the straight line distance) pedestrian route within ½ mile of their site to
all transit facilities and neighborhood activity centers (schools, parks, libraries, etc.).
In addition, the developer may be required to participate in the removal of any gaps
in the pedestrian system off-site if justified by the development.
2. If there is an existing sidewalk on the same side of the street as the development
within 300 feet of a development site in either direction, the sidewalk shall be
extended from the site to meet the existing sidewalk, subject to rough proportionality
(even if the sidewalk does not serve a neighborhood activity center).
The proposed development does not generate an additional 1,000 vehicle trips or more per
day.
There is not a sidewalk gap within 300 feet of the development.
C. Planter strip requirements. A planter strip separation of at least five feet between
the curb and the sidewalk shall be required in the design of streets, except where the
following conditions exist: There is inadequate right-of-way; the curbside sidewalks
already exist on predominant portions of the street; it would conflict with utilities;
there are significant natural features (large trees, water features, significant habitat
areas, etc.) that would be destroyed if the sidewalk were located as required; or where
there are existing structures in close proximity to the street (15 feet or less) or where
the standards in Table 18.810.1 specify otherwise. Additional consideration of
exempting the planter strip requirement may be given on a case-by-case basis if a
property abuts more than one street frontage.
The site plans indicate that a 5-foot planter will be provided along all public streets adjacent to
the development meeting the standards.
D. Maintenance. Maintenance of sidewalks, curbs, and planter strips is the
continuing obligation of the adjacent property owner.
The narrative indicates that it is the adjacent property owner’s obligation to continue
maintaining the adjacent sidewalks, curbs and planter strips.
E. Application for permit and inspection. If the construction of a sidewalk is not
included in the performance bond of an approved subdivision or the performance
bond has lapsed, then every person, firm or corporation desiring to construct
sidewalks as provided by this chapter, shall be before entering upon the work or
improvement, apply for a street opening permit to the Engineering Department to so
build or construct:
1. An occupancy permit shall not be issued for a development until the provision of
this section is satisfied.
2. The city engineer may issue a permit and certificate allowing temporary
noncompliance with the provision of this section to the owner, builder or contractor
Attachment 3
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PAGE 13
when, in his or her opinion, the construction of the sidewalk is impractical for one or
more of the following reasons:
a. Sidewalk grades have not and cannot be established for the property in
question within a reasonable length of time.
b. Forthcoming installation of public utilities or street paving would be likely to
cause severe damage to the new sidewalk.
c. Street right-of-way is insufficient to accommodate a sidewalk on one or both
sides of the street; or,
d. Topography or elevation of the sidewalk base area makes construction of
sidewalk impractical or economically infeasible.
3. The city engineer shall inspect the construction of sidewalks for compliance with
the provision set forth in the standard specifications manual.
Prior to commencing of site improvements, the Applicant shall submit site plans as part of
the PFI Permit showing the location of sidewalk to Engineering for review and approval.
Prior to Final Plat Approval, the sidewalk shall be constructed, completed, and/or satisfied.
Sidewalk in the public right of way or proposed public right of way will be inspected and
approved by the City of Tigard Engineering Division.
18.910.090 Sanitary Sewers
A. Sewers required. Sanitary sewers shall be installed to serve each new development
and to connect developments to existing mains in accordance with the provisions set
forth in Design and Construction Standards for Sanitary and Surface Water
Management (as adopted by the Unified Sewerage Agency in 1996 and including any
future revisions or amendments) and the adopted policies of the comprehensive plan.
B. Sewer plan approval. The city engineer shall approve all sanitary sewer plans and
proposed systems prior to issuance of development permits involving sewer service.
C. Over-sizing. Proposed sewer systems shall include consideration of additional
development within the area as projected by the comprehensive plan.
D. Permit Denied. Development permits may be restricted by the commission or
hearing officer where a deficiency exists in the existing sewer system or portion
thereof which cannot be rectified within the development and which if not rectified
will result in a threat to public health or safety, surcharging of existing mains, or
violations of state or federal standards pertaining to operation of the sewage
treatment system.
The Applicant’s narrative and site plans indicate that all the lots in the proposed
development will be serviced and connected to public sanitary sewer systems via service
laterals. All the services will be served off the proposed 8-inch sanitary sewer systems on
Lady Marion Dr and the private street. The proposed system is shown connecting to the
existing public sanitary sewer system on 109th Ave.
Additionally, a public sanitary sewer extension to the north edge of the development on
109th Ave for future connection is proposed.
Attachment 3
ENGINEERING COMMENTS PAGE 14
Prior to commencing of site improvements, submit site plans as part of the PFI Permit
showing the proposed sanitary sewer system and associated facilities to be designed and
constructed in accordance with the City of Tigard and CWS Design and Construction
Standards.

facilities shall be constructed, completed, and/or satisfied.
No over-sizing of sanitary sewer is proposed or deemed necessary.
18.910.100 Storm Drainage
A. General provisions. The director and city engineer shall issue a development
permit only where adequate provisions for stormwater and floodwater runoff have
been made, and:
1. The storm water drainage system shall be separate and independent of any
sanitary sewerage system;
The site plans show that new public storm drainage systems are proposed on Lady Marion
Dr and the private street. Both new and existing public sanitary sewer systems and storm
drainage systems are separate and independent from one another.
2. Where possible, inlets shall be provided so surface water is not carried across any
intersection or allowed to flood any street; and
The site plans indicate that a public drainage system including manholes, inlets, and a 12-
inch main are proposed in Lady Marion Dr and the private street. A water quality/detention
facility is also proposed and located on its own tract on the southwest cornner of the
development with access taking from 109th Ave. Street run-off is going to be collected and
detained in the water quality/detention facility prior to releasing to the existing system
