10/13/1982 - Minutes 0 • NPO #3 SPECIAL MEETING October 13, 1982 2. ROLL CALL: Present were Mortensen, Fyre, Bledsoe, Horowitz, Ramsdell, and Porter. Absent were Watkins and Moonier. Watkins had said at the last regular meeting she would be absent. Moonier has a prior commitment to Wednesday classes this fall term, and is excused by unanimous approval of remaining members until January 1983. Garrett and Raetz are erroneously listed by staff as current members, both have stated they will not be able to continue participation, and both have been absent since NPO #3 was officially recognized by City Council. 3. The mintues of September 15, 1982 were approved with the following corrections: Several times the word appearing as "charging" should have been "changing". The sentence starting on the sixth line of item 7e should read: "In addition, members of the NPO were concerned about the situation that a full public hearing is held at the Planning Commission, but that public input is not allowed when an issue is appealed or referred to City Council." On Item 8d, Lot 1400 is on map #2S1 4, and Lots 400, 401 and 500 are on mapo #2S1 3cc. By unanimous vote, NPO #3 requests that staff respond in writting whether their reasons for making changes to the comprehensive plan for NPO #3 area are indeed as we itemized in our mintues of September 15, 1982. If our interpretation is incorrect, we request a complete statement of their reasons. 4. Public Facxilities and Services Draft. At the beginning of the meeting we were presented with a new draft for Public Facilities and Services. We had studied the previously issued draft for discussion at this meeting. The following recommendations reference the new draft, numbered pages 42-54, unless the "old" version is specified. Recommendations of NPO #3 regarding the Public Facilities and Services draft: As in the drafts for other elements, the findings lack substance, and should be more specific. Staff should eliminate, restrict, or else provide demonstrated basis for the following findings: 7.1 "The City of Tigard and related service districts have the ability to provide adequate services to meet the demand for all development within the planning area during the planning period." 7.1.2.x. Should refer to "facilities and services" instead of "services". The list should include schools, police, and fir protection. 7.1.2.a.2 Should read " SEWER or SEPTIC OR OTHER ALTERNATE METHODS THAT DO NOT PRESENT HEALTH HAZARDS." 7.1.2.c Should be deleted since it is a restatement of 7.1.2.b.2. 7.1.2.d Should be deleted since it is a City standard that utilities be placed underground, and therefore this also is redundant. Implementation strategy 2b for 7.1 is confusing. 7.2.1.c Should be deleted, since it is a restatement of part of 7.2.1.b. 7.2.2.c Should be deleted as redundant. 7.2.2.e Should be incorporated into 7.2.2.a. 7.2.3 Should be deleted, because part "a" is redundant to 7.1.1.b, and part "b" is a general requirement already. Also it was felt not to be a good practice to reference another plan wihich can change independently of Tigard's. Also the subject if wastewater manangement should be addressed under sewer service, not stormwater control. 7.3.1 Should omit the last phrase, "and meet future demand at all times." This is a needless job that is included in the previous phrase, " to [provide or ensure] a high standard of water service" note: the proper verb should be supplied. 5. Other Business: Chairperson LouAne Mortensen showed us the NPO Report Form on which we are requested to make comment for specific property cases. Planner Liz Newton gave us new membership survey forms to fill out ---this is the third such form; LouAne requested members to give them to the secretary, who wil make a copy for the NPO and forward them to the planning department. 6.
