NPO #3 MEETING
JUNE 13, 1983
FOWLER JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL-FRENCH ROOM
1. Meeting Called to order at 7:22 PM
2. Roll Call: Present: Bledsoe, Remsdell, Smith, Mortensen and
Porter. Absent excused were Fyre and Moonier.
3. Minutes of April 4, 1983 were approved as submitted. The meeting
of May was postponed awaiting publication of the Community Development
Code.
4 . Consideration of Conditional Use fulfillments on JB Bishop project
(Pietro's) : We had received three documents: (1) a report by
Planner Liz Newton on fulfillment of the conditions, prompted by
inquiries made by Ralph Furrer, (a) a response by JB Bishop to
Ms. Newton's report, and (3) a summary report by Planning Director
Bill Monahan in response to JB Bishop's letter. Mr. Ralph Furrer had
inquired a couple times about our meeting but he was not present;
later he told NPO #3 Chairman Bob Bledsoe that he was unable to
find the French Room, for which we are sorry.
Mr. Monahan's letter stated that only three conditions were un-
resolved, the primary being Condition #7 requiring landscaping of/
for Phase 4 of the project.
Of the other two issues Mr. Bishop said he would supply a document
requested in Mr. Monahan's Item #1, and Mr. Bishop said Item #3 is
between the Building Department and the Fire District.
JB Bishop said he mows the property once per year. This year it was
just recently. This is the same practice as other commercial un-
developed properties nearby, specifically across from C.F. Tigard School,
behind Standard Gas Station, behind Hancock Gas Station, along Hall
and McDonald, and behind Canterbury Square.
NPO #3 is conclusion is as follows: The responses by JB Bishop seem
adequate. NPO #3 is satisfied with what he has told us; and it seems
consistant with other commercial properties in the area. It seems to
be undue burden to require complete landscaping prior to development
of Phase 4, and current maintenance is appropriate. As explained above,
Mr. Furrer did not appear or submit written comments .
5. UPAA - Urban Planning Area Agreement
NPO #3's recommendations, which were presented to the City Council
that night were:
a. As part of the agreement the County should adopt the City comprehensive
plan in the Active Planning Area.

b. In all cases, not just one, should be deleted the provision that
failure to respond is to be interpreted as "no objection." Instead
the parties should agree to return an enclosed postcard as verification
of receipt of documents mailed.
C. Section II Cl The modified wording proposed by City Attorney Ed
Sullivan should stop after the word "conflicts." NPO #3 believes it
is a violation of the City's comprehensive plan to promise not to
preclude transportation plans in the County's plan, since their
plan is in opposition to the City in regard to Durham Road and the
Murray Boulevard Extension.
6. Other Business:
NPO X63 objects to the May 12, 1983 letter from Planning Director Bill
Monahan to Washington County Planner Rick Daniels, which was entered
as testimony for the County transportation plan. The letter does not
accurately reflect the position taken by the City in its adopted comprehensive
plan. This leads to the general issue that the City should establish
and enforce policy that its employees shall accurately reflect the position
of the City as adopted in its ordinances in their communications to
other government agencies. The NPO Directed the chairman to write a letter
to Council and to seek a hearing on these two items.
7. Community Development Code
The Chairman, Bob Bledsoe, explained the copies that all NPO #3 members
had received of selected sections of the code. We discussed these some but
ran out of time.
8. Next meeting will be June 20, 1983 at 7:15 at the French Room.
9. Adjourn to Council meeting at about 9:30 PM
