1. Joint meeting with NPO #7 called to order at 7: 00 p.m.
2. Herman Porter introduced the item of interest, the Gaarde St.
extension. Three proposals will go to City Council on
February 9, 1993 . They are the staff recommendation referred
to as "The Report" , which connects Gaarde to Walnut
approximately 300' east of 132 Ave. , the NPO #3
recommendation, connecting to 132 Ave. at Benchview, and the
NPO #7 compromise, which connects to 132 Av. south of Walnut.
3 . Staff still favors and recommends "The Report" option. It has
no steep grades, but will take two homes and per study will
carry about 10, 000 cars per day. NPO #3 option would curve
around the steep grades and carry about 5, 000 cars per day_
The NPO 47 option has not been computer analyzed, but it is
felt it would fall between the other two.

10 . Considerable discussion followed with approximately 40
neighbors expressing concern for the children using Park and
Watkins Streets to walk to both C.F. Tigard and Fowler

and Planning Commission regarding their concerns about Taco
Bell during this comment period_ In the letter, request a
copy of the staff decision. All concerns must be expressed
before approval is given to the application. The NPO can
appeal on behalf of the neighborhood at no cost, citizens can
also appeal for a fee.

12 . Randy Wooley gave a brief overview of how street work is
prioritized using the Planners and the Comprehensive Plan.
The city wants sidewalks, funding is the issue. He suggested
that interested parties write a letter to him expressing their
desire to start a process of having city funds made available
for sidewalks on collector streets that serve children walking
to schools.
13 . MOTION: NPO #3 recommends to City Council that traffic safety
studies be done on any commercial development that will have
ingress and egress to and from a residential collector. NPO
#3 members passed the motion unanimously. Forty interested
citizens attending also voted unanimously in favor of the
motion.
14. MOTION: Request that the City of Tigard put a priority on
construction of sidewalks or asphalt paths and schedule them
in priority order based on safety needs with school areas
given the highest priority. Also put crosswalk and crosswalk
warning signs near schools. NPO #3 members passed the motion
unanimously, forty interested citizens also voted unanimously
in favor of the motion.
15. Seafirst/Gramor - MOTION: As an NPO that borders Highway 99w,
and in light of the concerns about traffic that is currently
generated by the Hollywood Video strip mall and future traffic
impact created by Hot n'Now and Taco Bell, we ask that a
traffic impact and management study be made for Main St. ,
Johnson St. and Ash St . We ask that this study cover both
external and internal traffic the development will create.
Make the results known to NPO #3 . Pawed unanimously.
16. Gaarde St. extension - MOTION: If the Report or the NPO #7
option is adopted, NPO #3 requests that a condition be placed
that the new street will not be completed until the arterial
on the west side of Bull Mountain is completed. This would
fit with the inter urban agreement regarding the extension of
Murray Rd. Passed unanimously.
