VAR1996-00001 EXHIDIT A' CITY OF TIGARD NOTICE OF DECISION VARIANCE (VAR) 96-0001 BOWEN DEVELOPMENT FIELDCREST COURT APTS. 1. APPLICATION SUMMARY CASE: FILE NAME: BOWEN FIELDCREST COURT APTS. VARIANCE Variance VAR 96-0001 PROPOSAL: A request by Bowen Financial Services for a variance approval to the rear yard setback for units A-1 through A-5, and B-1 in building #1 units A-6, A-7, A-8, B-2 and B-3 in building #2; units B-4 and B-5 in building #3; and A-15 through A-17 in building #4 (SUB 95- 0005/PDR 95-0006NAR 95-0010/SLR 95-0015). The bufferline/property line setback will vary from zero feet to 17 feet on each lot, since the property line runs diagonally across the property. For units A-6, B-2, and B-3, the setback will be approximately 3 feet. APPLICANT: MCM Architects OWNER: Bowen Financial Services 1022 SW Salmon, Suite 350 111 SW Fifth Avenue Portland, Oregon 97205 Portland, OR 97204 ZONING DESIGNATION: R-25 (Residential, 25 units per acre). LOCATION: East of SW 135th Avenue, north of SW 133rd Avenue and east of SW Winter Lake Drive. WCTM 1 S1 33DB, tax lot 4300). APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA: Community Development Code Section 18.134.050. II. DECISION Notice is hereby given that the Planning Director for the City of Tigard has APPROVED the above request. The findings and conclusions on which the decision is based are noted in Section IV. THIS APPROVAL IS VALID IF EXERCISED WITHIN EIGHTEEN MONTHS OF THE DATE OF THE FINAL DECISION. NOTICE OF DECISION VAR 96-0001 BOWEN FIELDCREST COURT APTS. PAGE 1 III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Proper History In 1995, the Planning Commission approved a Subdivision, Planned Development, Variance and Sensitive Lands Review.(SUB 95-0005/PDR 95-0006NAR 95-0010/SLR 95-0015) to allow the following: 1.) Subdivision preliminary plat approval to divide an approximately 4.71 acre parcel into 52 lots ranging between 1,900 square feet to 6,800 square feet; 2.) Planned Development Review to allow construction of a private street and to allow attached single-family residential dwellings adjacent to single-family detached residential dwellings; 3.) Variance approval to allow a cul-de-sac to serve 52 units, whereas, the code limits a private street to serve a maximum of 20 lots, and a variance to allow a cul-de- sac of 780 feet, whereas, the code states the maximum cul-de-sac length shall be 400 feet; and 4.) ' Sensitive Lands Review to allow development within wetland area. The Planning Commission discussed the potential for a variance to rear yard setbacks at a public hearing on September 18, 1995. The Planning Commission approved the variance in concept, as it was compatible with the intent of the planned development and to the overall design of the project. Since the application at that time did not request a variance to rear yard setbacks, a variance could not be granted as part of that application. It was conditioned that the applicant make application for an administrative variance for setbacks on certain lots adjoining the wetland buffer. The Washington County Unified ,Sewerage Agency requires a 25 foot buffer to be provided in a separate tract. This is in addition to rear yard requirements. Vicinity Information: The surrounding properties to the south and east are zoned R-12 (Residential, 12.units per acre). Property to the north and west is zoned is zoned R-25 (Residential, 25 units per acre). The adjoining property to the north is owned by the City of Tigard and is a greenway area. Adjoining property to the east and south is developed with single-family subdivisions. The area is predominantly developed with single-family residential dwellings. NOTICE OF DECISION VAR 96-0001 BOWEN FIELDCREST COURT APTS. PAGE 2 Site Information and Proposal Description: The 4.71 acre, vacant site is rectangular in shape. The property is covered with low vegetation and a stand of fir trees. Wetlands have been delineated along the northern property boundary. The site slopes from a high. elevation of 191 feet along the southern boundary to an elevation of 175 feet along the northern boundary. The applicant requests a variance approval to the rear yard setback for units A-1 through A-5, and B-1 in building #1; units A-6, A-7, A-8, B-2 and B-3 in building #2; units B-4 and B-5 in building #3; and A-15 through A-17 in building #4 (SUB 95-0005/PDR 95- 0006/VAR 95-0010/SLR 95-0015). For these units, the bufferline/property line setback will average from zero feet to 17 feet on each lot, since the property line runs diagonally across the property., For units A-6, B-2, and B-3, the setback will be approximately 3 feet. IV. APPLICABLE REVIEW CRITERIA AND FINDINGS COMPLIANCE WITH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE SECTIONS: Community Development Code Section 18.134.050 provides standards for granting a variance as indicated in bold print below: The proposed variance will not be materially detrimental to the purposes of this title, be in conflict with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan, to any other applicable policies and standards, and to other properties in the same zoning district or vicinity. The proposed variance will not be detrimental to City standards nor to adjoining properties since the rear yard abuts a City greenway. City of Tigard Community Development Code standards and Comprehensive Plan Policies have been satisfied with the review and approval of the subdivision application. This variance will not effect City development standards or Comprehensive Plan Policies protecting natural and sensitive land areas since they are protected by Division of State Lands permit processes and City greenway ownership. There are special circumstances that exist which are peculiar to the lot size or shape, topography or other circumstances over which the applicant has no control, and which are not applicable to other properties in the same zoning district. The special circumstances which exist are the Unified Sewerage Agency requirement to provide a wetland buffer within a separate tract, the site's shape, and the provision of a 30 foot buffer and tree preservation area along the southern property boundary. . The wetland buffer effectively provides the function of the City's setback requirement. The use proposed will be the same as permitted under this title and City standards will be maintained to the greatest extent that is reasonably possible while permitting some economic use of the land. The requested variance will in no way affect the permitted use status of the attached single-family residential dwellings NOTICE OF DECISION VAR 96-0001 BOWEN FIELDCREST COURT APTS. PAGE 3 approved with the original subdivision application. This variance is limited to the setbacks applicable to those dwellings. All other City standards will be maintained as reviewed in the original application. Existing physical and natural systems, such as but not limited to traffic, drainage, dramatic land forms, or parks will not be adversely affected any more than would occur if the development were located as specified in this title. The impact of this variance will be limited to an encroachment on the required rear yard setback. Natural systems will not be effected by this variance since they will be protected by the USA buffer, nor will there be changes in traffic or drainage as a result of this variance. The hardship is not self-imposed and the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. The hardship related to this variance is not self-imposed. Under the subdivision approval, the applicant was required to provide a 25 foot buffer the length of the delineated wetland. Since the buffer will be crossing multiple property lines, this buffer is required to be provided within a separate tract. With this requirement, the buffer boundary becomes the rear property line of each lot. As a result, the setback is taken from the wetland buffer/property line and not the original propery line. The hardship is the fact that the buffer encroaches upon the applicant's property and the fact that this buffer must be provided within a separate tract. The applicant is further limited in that it is not feasible to relocate the proposed dwellings further away from the wetland buffer/property line because of a 30 foot tree preservation area located on the southern property line and the street width's required within the subdivision. (Note: If the applicant had applied for a multi-family apartment complex, the regulations are such that the wetland buffer would not have to be provided as a separate tract. This tract is only required when the buffer crosses property lines, not when it is contained on a single property., If the subdivision had not been applied for, the proposed site plan would then comply with setback standards.) The requested variance is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship as it applies to a limited number of lots and as the reduction will not eliminate the provision of setbacks. A setback will effectively be provided with the'wetland buffer. V. OTHER STAFF COMMENTS The City of Tigard Engineering Department states that the department would have serious concerns if the applicant were proposing any disturbance in the buffer, except for those allowed by USA Resolution and Order 91-47. One such exception would be the storm pipe outfall from the water quality facility. The City of Tigard Building Division states that portions of the buildings within five (5) feet of the property line shall be of,1-hour fire-resistive construction and without openings.

OF ENGINEERS Fieldcrest Court Applicant's Statement 11996 Variance Requested 18.56.050 Dimensional Requirements 3 (d) Rear setback For single family dwellings the rear yard shall be a minimum of 15 feet. We are requesting a variance with this Site Development Application to allow for a reduced rear yard set back at specific units which back up to a wetland and have a 25 foot wide buffer provided. The units which are affected include units A-1 through A-5, and B-1 in 0-~A-15through uildin _ #1 • B-2 and B-3 in Building #2; B-4 and B-5 in Building #3; and A-17 in Building #4. The buildings and units are indicated on the site plan included with this Variance Request. The proposed variance meets the variance approval criteria in the following manner: 1. The proposed variance will not be materially detrimental to the purposes of this title, be in conflict with the policies of the comprehensive plan, to any other applicable policies and standards, and to other properties in the same zoning district or vicinity; 1.1 The purpose of the required building setback is to ensure that there is adequate distance between on site buildings and other on-site and off-site buildings on adjoining properties to provide for adequate light and air circulation and for fire protection. Each of these buildings and the units identified back onto a wetland area. Between the wetland area and the building lots there is a 25 foot wide buffer zone. While this .buffer zone cannot be built on or used by the homeowner, it along with the wetland beyond provides light, attractive views and privacy to the homeowners. It also provides adequate access for fire protection and maintenance of the buildings. 2. There are special circumstances that exist which are peculiar to the lot size or shape, topography or other circumstances over which the applicant has no control, and which are not applicable to other properties in the same zoning district; 2.2 The entire northern edge of this development is formed by a wetland dropping down to a stream. The irregular edge of the wetland and the required buffer zone create an irregular rear lot line of the units affected. The rear lot line at the designated units is angled so that the actual setback distance varies with each unit. This circumstance is created solely by the location and configuration of the wetland and is specific to this piece of property. 3. The use proposed will be the same as permitted under this title and City standards will be maintained to the greatest extent that is reasonably possible while permitting some economic use of the land; 3.1 The requirement for combining the buffer and setback which creates a 40 foot setback has been created by USA's request that the buffer be kept under a common ownership. If the property was being developed for use under single ownership the setback would only be 25 feet. 3. 2 The requirement for private outdoor area of at least 48 SF is provided by decks at the upper floor level. This provides area to enjoy the proximity to the wetlands at the same time respecting the buffer zone. None of the decks would project into the buffer zone. In addition the sharp angle that the rear lot line makes relative to the back of the units creates adequate space for concrete patios at the back of each unit. 3.3 The requirement for screening to provide privacy and protection from adverse impacts of visual or noise pollution without unduly interfering with the view from neighboring properties or jeopardizing the safety of pedestrians and vehicles is not affected by this variance because the designated wetlands, which has been deeded to the City, will remain a natural area. 3.4 This variance will not effect requirements for visual clearance. 3.5 This variance will not effect the requirement for lot coverage as the 25 buffer zone will remain under the ownership of the development and cannot be built upon. 3.6 This variance will not encroach on any existing easements. 4. Existing physical and natural systems, such as but not limited to traffic drainage, dramatic land forms, or parks will not be adversely affected any more than would occur if the development were located as specified in the title; and 4.5 This variance will have no effect on the physical and natural systems. The units are split level to fit the topography and staggered to align with the edge of the greenway. The proposed use will both preserve and take advantage of natural beauty of the greenway. 5. The hardship is not self-imposed and the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. 5.1 The condition is not self-imposed, it is created by the USA requirement that the buffer zone be under common ownership. Because the units are single family homes this creates a pattern of multiple ownership. The variance requested will provide the same setback that is allowed under the current code when the land is under single ownership.

APTS VARIANCE PROPOSAUREQUEST FOR COMMENTS MEMORANDUM CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON DATE: March 10, 1996 TO: Will D'Andrea FROM: Brian Rager, Development Review Engineer.. RE: VAR 96-0001 BOWEN FIELDCREST COURT REAR YARD SETBACKS I have reviewed the staff report for SUB 95-0005 along with the conditions of approval for this project. With regard to the delineated wetland and the buffer, I believe the following to be true: 1. A 25' buffer is required; no exceptions. (See Conditions 14 & 16 of SUB 95-0005). 2. The buffer shall be placed in a tract on the subdivision plat (Pg. 8 of Final Order). 3. The proposed water quality swale shall not be placed in the buffer (Pg. 21, Item I.c. of USA comments). Assuming these items are true, which to me indicate there is to be no disturbance of the buffer, I do not have any problem with the proposed variance. I would have serious concern, however, if the applicant were proposing any disturbance in the buffer, except for those allowed by USA Resolution and Order 91-47. One such exception would be the storm pine outfall from the water quality facility. i Aeng\bri am\var96-01.bdr PAGE 1 L 'G i OF TIGARD REQUEST FOR COMMENTS DATE: February 7. 1996 TO: Greg Berry, Engineering FROM: City of Tigard Planning Department STAFF CONTACT: William D'Andrea (x315) Phone: (503) 639-4171 Fax: (503) 684-7297 RE: VARIANCE (VAR) 96-0001 ➢ BOWEN FIELDCREST COURT APTS.

We are requesting a variance with this Site Development Application to allow for a reduced rear yard set back at specific units which back up to a wetland and have a 25 foot wide buffer provided. The units which are affected include units A-1 through A-5, and B-1 in Building #1; A-6, B-2 and B-3 in Building #2; B-4 and B-5 in Building #3; and A-15 through A-17 in Building #4. The buildings and units are indicated on the site plan included with this Variance Request. The proposed variance meets the variance approval criteria in the following manner: 1. The proposed variance will not be materially detrimental to the purposes of this title, be in conflict with the policies of the comprehensive plan, to any other applicable policies and standards, and to other properties in the same zoning district or vicinity; 1.1 The purpose of the required building setback is to ensure that there is adequate distance between on site buildings and other on-site and off-site buildings on adjoining properties to provide for adequate light and air circulation and for fire protection. Each of these buildings and the units identified back onto a wetland area. Between the wetland area and the building lots there is a 25 foot wide buffer zone. While this .buffer zone cannot be built on or used by the homeowner, it along with the wetland beyond provides light, attractive views and privacy to the homeowners. It also provides adequate access for fire protection and maintenance of the buildings. 2. There are special circumstances that exist which are peculiar to the lot size or shape, topography or other circumstances over which the applicant has no control, and which are not applicable to other properties in the same zoning district; 2.2 The entire northern edge of this development is formed by a wetland dropping down to a stream. The irregular edge of the wetland and the required buffer zone create an irregular rear lot line of the units affected. The rear lot line at the designated units is angled so that the actual setback distance varies with each unit. This circumstance is created solely by the location and configuration of the wetland and is specific to this piece of property. 3. The use proposed will be the same as permitted under this title and City standards will be maintained to the greatest extent that is reasonably possible while permitting some economic use of the land; 3.1 The requirement for combining the buffer and setback which creates a 40 foot setback has been created by USA's-request that the buffer be kept under a common ownership. If the property was being developed for use under single ownership the setback would only be 25 feet. 3. 2 The requirement for private outdoor area of at least 48 SF is provided by decks at the upper floor level. This provides area to enjoy the proximity to the wetlands at the same time respecting the buffer zone. None of the decks would project into the buffer zone. In addition the sharp angle that the rear lot line makes relative to the back of the units creates adequate space for concrete patios at the back of each unit. 3.3 The requirement for screening to provide privacy and protection from adverse impacts of visual or noise pollution without unduly interfering with the view from neighboring properties or jeopardizing the safety of pedestrians and vehicles is not affected by this variance because the designated wetlands, which has been deeded to the City, will remain a natural area. 3.4 This variance will not effect requirements for visual clearance. 3.5 This variance will not effect the requirement for lot coverage as the 25 buffer zone will remain under the ownership of the development and cannot be built upon. 3.6 This variance will not encroach on any existing easements. 4. Existing physical and natural systems, such as but not limited to traffic drainage, dramatic land forms, or parks will not be adversely affected any more than would occur if the development were located as specified in the title; and 4.5 This variance will have no effect on the physical and natural systems. The units are split level to fit the topography and staggered to align with the edge of the greenway. The proposed use will both preserve and take advantage of natural beauty of the greenway. 5. The hardship is not self-imposed and the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. 5.1 The condition is not self-imposed, it is created by the USA requirement that the buffer zone be under common ownership. Because the units are single family homes this creates a pattern of multiple ownership.

No. _ ~S 13-~.n R 11:W Fieldcrest Court Applicant's Statement 1/19/% Variance Requested 18.56.050 Dimensional Requirements 3 (d) Rear set back For single family dwellings the rear yard shall be a minimum of 15 feet. We are requesting a variance with this Site Development Application to allow for a reduced rear yard set back at specific units which back up to a wetland and have a 25 foot wide buffer provided. The units which are affected include units A-1 through A-5, and B-1 in Building #1; A-6, B-2 and B-3 in Building #2; B-4 and B-5 in Building #3; and A-15 through A-17 in Building #4. The buildings and units are indicated on the site plan included with this Variance Request. The proposed variance meets the variance approval criteria in the following manner: 1. The proposed variance will not be materially detrimental to the purposes of this title, be in conflict with the policies of the comprehensive plan, to any other applicable policies and standards, and to other properties in the same zoning district or vicinity; 1.1 The purpose of the required building setback is to ensure that there is adequate distance between on site buildings and other on-site and off-site buildings on adjoining properties to provide for adequate light and air circulation and for fire protection. Each of these buildings and the units identified back onto a wetland area. Between the wetland area and the building lots there is a 25 foot wide buffer zone. While this,buffer zone cannot be built on or used by the homeowner, it along with the^ wetland beyond provides light, attractive views and privacy to the homeowners. It also provides adequate access for fire protection and maintenance of the buildings. 2. There are special circumstances that exist which are peculiar to the lot size or shape, topography or other circumstances over which the applicant has no control, and which are not applicable to other properties in the same zoning district; . \ 2.2 The entire northern edge of this development is formed by a wetland dropping down to a stream. The irregular edge of the wetland and the r required buffer zone create an irregular rear lot line of the units affected. The rear lot line at the designated units is angled so that the actual setback distance varies with each unit. This circumstance is created solely by the location and configuration of the wetland and is specific to this piece of property. 3. The use proposed will be the same as permitted under this title and City standards will be maintained to the greatest extent that is reasonably possible while permitting some economic use of the land; 3.1 The requirement for combining the buffer and setback which creates a 40 foot setback has been created by USA's request that the buffer be kept under a common ownership. If the property was being developed for use under single ownership the setback would only be 25 feet. 3. 2 The requirement for private outdoor area of at least 48 SF is provided by decks at the upper floor level. This provides area to enjoy the proximity to the wetlands at the same time respecting the buffer zone. None of the decks would project into the buffer zone. In addition the sharp angle that the rear lot line makes relative to the back of the units creates adequate space for concrete patios at the back of each unit. 3.3 The requirement for screening to provide privacy and protection from adverse impacts of visual or noise pollution without unduly interfering with the view from neighboring properties or jeopardizing the safety of pedestrians and vehicles is not affected by this variance because the designated wetlands, which has been deeded to the City, will remain a natural area. 3.4 This variance will not effect requirements for visual clearance. 3.5 This variance will not effect the requirement for lot coverage as the 25 buffer zone will remain under the ownership of the development and cannot be built upon. 3.6 This variance will not encroach on any existing easements. 4. Existing physical and natural systems, such as but not limited to traffic drainage, dramatic land forms, or parks will not be adversely affected any more than would occur if the development were located as specified in the title; and 4.5 This variance will have no effect on the physical and natural systems. The units are split level to fit the topography and staggered to align with the edge of the greenway. The proposed use will both preserve and take advantage of natural beauty of the greenway. 5. The hardship is not self-imposed and the variance requested is the minimum variance which would alleviate the hardship. 5.1 The condition is not self-imposed, it is created by the USA requirement that the buffer zone be under common ownership. Because the units are single family homes this creates a pattern of multiple ownership. The variance requested will provide the same setback that is allowed under the current code when the land is under single ownership. p A s IS 133AC-08000 Cu IS133CA-00100 r~ SW HAWK'S J BEARD C: 133DB-0se o V/ ISI33CA-oosoo I 133DB-03 0 IS 33DB-0 0 Cu I 3DB-0 00 IS 33DB-0 - IS 133DB-04300 I ISSD Y 5133 B-03000 Isl 3DB o ssD eeoo 1 3DB-07 IS133CA-00300 Cu 1SI33DB-OO1o1 -ooaoo IS 3 -05 0 S133CA-0050 S133D 00 O IS 33DB-0 ISI33CA-00700 IS133DB-o43oo A, Vicinity Map NOTIFICATION MAP VAR 90-0001 M~ ~s ~l~-r~~C~-~oo~ r k S I u z w ¢t 3 - ,r g A 1 V N N O I r ~ ~ ~ ~ L w I ~ a 0 a~ w W , Z 0 ~ - t ~ G i 1 i o i ~ t I F y, ~ I I r -~r !7~ ~i g ~e ~S t e=a 'K 1, o LDINCs M ~ ~ o - _ p ti x i ~ ~ ~ c z ~ c  i i 1 ~ ~ w~ N rl ~ f~ t W f ~l~' ~1 C" ~ir ~ 1 i ,a~~ ; ~ 3 ' ~f W .c- I ' ~ ~ v~ Q I ' i ~ ~ ( ~ ~ H ~ f ~ a N ~ R' e ~ ~ F ~ i. ; ~ ~ r 1 r ' L ~ J L . 15' SETBACK ~ I L JL J Y.
