SUMMARY 1. BAPS Temple West, (the "applicant"), requests approval of a Conditional Use Permit ("CUP") and Site Design Review for a religious institution at 11435 SW 115' Avenue; also known as tax lot 700, WCTM IS 134DC (the "site").1 The site contains a single family home, but that home is not part of the proposed institution. A parcel containing he home will be partitioned from the rest of the site. The rest of the site consists principally of pasture. The applicant proposes to build a structure in the northeast corner of the site. The structure will contain 19,690 square feet. The first floor will contain 13, 320 square feet and includes a chapel, meeting and dining halls, a kitchen, a 112-square foot bookstore/ library, rest rooms, reception and storage spaces and a 700-square foot apartment for a resident caretaker. The second floor contains 5770 square feet and includes two classrooms, two multi-purpose rooms and storage. The chapel and meeting/dining halls on the first floor extend to the ceiling of the second story above. At the southwest and southeast corners of the building are stairwells that extend as tower elements above the roof. The proposed building complies with minimum setback and maximum building height standards of the Tigard Community Development Code ("CDC"). South and west of the building, the applicant will build a 93-space parking lot. One point of vehicular access to the site is proposed from SW Tigard Street opposite existing 114' Place. The applicant proposes a maximum of 180 people may be on the site at one time; regular worship assemblies and related activities will be held from 4 PM to 8 PM, Sundays; four festivals will be celebrated yearly on a Sunday or Saturday; and, a small number of temple members (i.e., typically fewer than ten) may attend daily morning and evening rituals (Aarto and Darshan). The applicant proposes to improve streets next to the site and to extend utilities. 2. Tigard Hearings Officer Larry Epstein (the "hearings officer") conducted a duly noticed public hearing to receive testimony and evidence in the matter. At the public hearing, City staff recommended conditional approval of the application. The applicant accepted the recommended conditions and responded to public testimony. Twenty-six persons testified orally against the application. Some of these and other witnesses also testified in writing against the application. The hearings officer held open the public record for three weeks to allow participants to offer additional written testimony and evidence. The principal disputed issue in this case include the following: a. Whether the application complies with applicable procedures of the CDC; b. Whether the proposed use is permitted in the R-4.5 zone; c. Whether affected streets are adequate to serve the proposed use; d. Whether the site is or can be adequate to accommodate the needs of the use and mitigate the impacts of the impacts and, if so, 1 CDC 18.130.020.130) defines the term "religious institutions" to mean `[p]laces of religious worship which may include related accessory uses such as offices, classrooms, auditoriums, social halls, gymnasiums and other recreational activities" CUP 2000-00004 Hearings Officer Final Order (BAPS Temple West) Page 1 9 • e. What conditions of approval should be added to address concerns about relevant impacts of the proposed use, including impacts on privacy of nearby homes, traffic, parking, landscaping, maintenance, non-member use, growth of the use, lights, noise, etc.. 3. In this final order, the hearings officer approves the conditional use permit based on the findings and conclusions included and incorporated herein and subject to conditions at the end of this final order. B. HEARING AND RECORD 1. The hearings officer received testimony at the public hearing about this application on June 25, 2001. All exhibits and records of testimony are filed with the Tigard Department of Community Development. At the beginning of the hearing, the hearings officer made the declaration required by ORS 197.763. The hearings officer disclaimed any ex parte contacts, bias or conflicts of interest. The hearings officer disclosed that he visited the site before the hearing and invited witnesses to question and rebut his observations. The following is a summary by the hearings officer of selected testimony offered at the public hearing in this matter. 2. City planner Kevin Young summarized the Staff Report to the Hearings Officer dated June 18, 2001 (the "Staff Report"). He described how the city measures building height. He agreed a condition of approval is warranted requiring the proposed use to operate as represented in the application and testimony. He noted that, even if there is a stream or spring on the property, as argued by some witnesses, the applicant is not required to obtain a sensitive lands review, because the city has not identified the stream or spring as such on a relevant comprehensive plan map or inventory, and the Unified Sewerage Agency ("USA") concluded further review was not warranted. See CDC 18.775.020.D.2 He also noted that a Conditional Use Permit is subject to Site Development Review, although most site review criteria are not relevant to the use in this case. 3. Jatin Patel, Rocky Towle and Brent Ahrend initially testified for the applicant. Mr. J. Patel introduced the application. Mr. Towle described the proposed building and exterior development. Mr. Ahrend summarized a traffic study he prepared for the proposed use, highlighting that the proposed use will generate off-peak traffic when affected streets and intersections are characterized by non-peak traffic loads, so that the use can be accommodated safely by the existing street system. On Sundays, when most temple traffic is generated, peak loads are one-half the volume on weekdays. 4. Twenty-six persons testified against the proposed use: Scott Bernhard, Larry Anderson, Nancy Tanner, Dave Nerland, Patrick Block, Tanja Bourque, Debbie Hower, Debbi Bean, D.F. Coghill, Victoria Larsen, Billie Panasevich, Charles and Ramey Wolf, Tom Pfeiffer, Diane Forner, John Benassu, Richard Jarvis, Sue Bielke, John Badden, Harry Massett, Gene Kraiter, Kimberly Kummer, Kathleen and Brian Andrews, Debbie King, and Cindy Anderson.3 Most of the witnesses expressed similar concerns without specific reference to the CDC, including the following:, 2 Regarding wetlands, CDC 18.775.020.D(1)(c) provides that the Director can issue a sensitive lands permit for "[w]etland areas which are not regulated by other local, state, or federal agencies and are designated as significant wetlands on the Comprehensive Plan Floodplain and Wetland Map." A sensitive lands permit is not required for wetland areas that are regulated by other agencies. See CDC 18.775.020.C. 3 Other persons signed the witness list but declined the opportunity to testify when called for that purpose. CUP 2000-00004 Hearings Officer Final Order (BAPS Temple West) Page 2 0 • a. The applicant gave inadequate notice of the pre-application neighborhood meeting and did not respond adequately to neighbors' concerns voiced at that meeting. Also the plan for the site changed after the meeting. The city also failed to ensure notice of the hearings was received by all parties entitled to it. b. The proposed use is not or should not be permitted in a single family residential zone, because it is a nonresidential use, and it is significantly different in appearance and function from a single family dwelling. c. The location of the site is not suited for the proposed use, because the large size and height of the proposed structure and expanse of parking is inconsistent with the character of the area. It is too big to maintain the relationships called for in CDC 18.360.010.B or the livability called for in CDC 18.510.010.A.4 Site development review criteria do not ensure the building will comply with or reflect those purposes. d. The site is not suited for the proposed use, because it will generate excessive noise, lights, traffic and other effects of activity on the site that will not and cannot be adequately mitigated. The color of the facility could be obtrusive and visually adverse. Outdoor activities, if any, would cause noise, disrupt the residential character and pose a hazard to traffic on surrounding streets. The privacy of surrounding homes will be lost, neighborhood compatibility will suffer, and the value of surrounding property will decline. e. SW 115'b Avenue and Tigard Street (and other affected intersections in the area) cannot serve the proposed use safely, because those streets (and intersections) already carry too much traffic, and the proposed use will increase that traffic, degrading the operation of those streets and intersections. At least the intersection of 115' Avenue and Tigard Street needs to be improved with additional stop signs to function more safely.5 Several witnesses disputed the validity of the traffic study, principally because traffic counts 4 CDC 18.360.010.B (one of the purpose statements for Site Development Review) provides as follows: It is in the public interest and necessary for the promotion of the health, safety and welfare, convenience, comfort and prosperity of the citizens of the City of Tigard: 1. To implement the City of Tigard's Comprehensive Plan and other approval standards in this title; 2. To preserve and enhance the natural beauties of the land and of the man-made environment, and enjoyment thereof; 3. To maintain and improve the qualities of and relationships between individual buildings, structures and the physical developments which best contribute to the amenities and attractiveness of an area or neighborhood; 4. To protect and ensure the adequacy and usefulness of public and private developments as they relate to each other and to the neighborhood or area; and 5. To ensure that each individual development provides for a quality environment for the citizens utilizing that development as well as the community as a whole. CDC 18.510.0103 (one of the purpose statements for the Residential Zones) provides as follows: One of the major purposes of the regulations governing development in residential zoning districts is to protect the livability of existing and future residential neighborhoods, by encouraging primarily residential development with compatible non-residential development schools, churches, parks and recreation facilities, day care centers, neighborhood commercial uses and other services at appropriate locations and at an appropriate scale. 5 In rebuttal, Mr. Ahrend agreed that two stop signs should replace two yield signs at the intersection to make it function more safely.

CUP 2000-00004 Hearings Officer Final Order (BAPS Temple West) Page 3 0 0 were prepared in April, 2000 and did not reflect traffic generated by a detour or what they expected would be higher trip counts now. They also argued more distant intersections should have been studied, including SW Dakota Street at Tiedeman Avenue and Tiedeman Avenue at Greenburg Road, because those intersections suffer long peak-hour queues, and the proposed use will add to them. One witness argued that, if the CUP is approved, a condition of approval should limit the number of vehicle trips so they do not exceed what is projected in the traffic study. f. The site is not suited for the proposed use, because there is a seasonal stream or spring on the site that will be destroyed by the proposed use, contrary to CDC 18.775.010, and there is insufficient evidence that the water generated by the stream/creek and the large impervious area of the site after development will be accommodated without causing floodinj of abutting streets or private property, and that construction of a sewer crossing at 114 Place will provide a conduit for subsurface water from the site to flood the topographically lower lands that lead to a floodplain to the south. g. One witness reported observing a pileated woodpecker, an endangered species, nesting on the site. h. If approved, the application should be subject to additional conditions limiting the nature, hours and number of events at the site, requiring additional landscaping and fencing, prohibiting windows and restricting use of doors on the rear of the building, prohibiting elements such as bells or amplified sound systems that produce noise outdoors, prohibiting rental of the facility by people who are not members of the congregation, lowering the building height and reducing the building size, prohibiting use of the parking lot except by temple members during events at the temple, and requiring the applicant to maintain the building, parking and landscaping in good condition, among others. Some neighbors argued that the applicant should be required to post no parking signs on surrounding streets, or the city should institute an on-street parking permit program. One witness argued the applicant should be required to reduce the size of the building above grade by building a basement instead of a second floor. i. Opponents expressed a lack of trust that the applicant would operate the facility as described in the application., based on perceived inconsistencies in the application compared to activities at other temples, concerns about unallocated space in the building (later designated "multi-purpose rooms" by the applicant), and concerns about growth of the temple membership and activities over time. j. Witnesses argued the application did not comply with the grading plan requirement of 18.330.040 or the impact study requirement of CDC 18.390.050.6 6 CDC 18.330.040.A(4) requires an application for a conditional use permit to include "[a] grading plan". CDC 18.390.050.B.2(e) provides that an application subject to a Type III process shall: Include an impact study. The impact study shall quantify the effect of the development on public facilities and services. The study shall address, at a minimum, the transportation system, including bikeways, the drainage system, the parks system, the water system, the sewer system, and the noise impacts of the development. For each public facility system and type of impact, the study shall propose improvements necessary to meet City standards and to minimize the impact of the development on the public at large, public facilities systems, and affected private property users. In situations where the Community Development Code requires the dedication of real property interests, the applicant shall either specifically concur with the dedication requirements, or provide evidence which supports the conclusion that the real property dedication requirement is not roughly proportional to the projected impacts of the development. CUP 2000-00004 Hearings Officer Final Order (BAPS Temple West) Page 4 • 0 5. City development engineer Brian Rager testified in response to public questions. a. Regarding streets, he testified the applicant will be required to improve both public street frontages with additional pavement width, curb, sidewalk, street trees, drainage, street lights, etc.. He argued the traffic study provided by the applicant does comply with city requirements. He noted it shows fewer than 1 accident per million entering vehicles at affected intersections, indicating they are not hazardous. He discussed the adequate level of service at those intersections and noted the detour that has generated significant through traffic in the area will end soon, reducing traffic volumes considerably. He opined that the April 2000 traffic counts are more representative of typical conditions than would be traffic counts conducted during the existence of the detour through the area. b. Regarding storm drainage, he testified the applicant will have to address the stream or spring on the site, if there is one. He testified the applicant can readily accommodate the relatively small volume of water from such a stream or spring by collecting and piping it to the storm drainage system on the site and in Tigard Street. There is no reason to believe it will cause off-site drainage to increase. Subsurface water encountered in sewer excavations also must be accommodated in the public storm drainage system, so it should not increase flooding to the south. c. He noted that the applicant will extend public sewer north along 115' Avenue to the north end of the site (i.e., north of the existing home on the site) and to the east edge of the Tigard Street frontage for extension to other properties in the future. 6. Mr. Ahrend, Mr. Towle, civil engineer Timothy Turner, and BAPS development coordinator Padesh Patel testified for the applicant in rebuttal. a. Mr. Ahrend testified that the 85' percentile speed of vehicles on Tigard Street is about 35 miles per hour in both directions, consistent with the city's preferred speed for a collector road such as Tigard Street, but 10 miles per hour faster than the posted speed limit. He recounted that the capacity of Tigard Street is 3000 vehicles per day ("VPD") based on its classification as a collector road. On weekdays, peak volumes reach 2700 VPD. On Sunday, the peak volume is less than 1700 VPD. Therefore the street has capacity to accommodate traffic from the temple consistent with city standards. b. Mr. Towle responded to concerns about exterior lights in general terms and agreed to accept a condition of approval limiting light levels at the property line to 1 foot-candle. He offered to continue to work with neighbors about the details of landscaping. He testified no windows are proposed on the rear of the building, and no windows are proposed on the second story or on the towers. Windows are on the front and east and west sides of the first floor only. He noted that the building will be 30 feet high only at the two towers at the southeast and southwest corners. The remainder of the building will have a flat roof 23 feet above grade. He testified that the applicant will use colors that are compatible and are not obtrusive or garish. He testified the applicant will place the grade of the first floor as low as practicable, but declined to use a basement. c. Mr. Turner testified that the property has been surveyed for topography, but a boundary survey has not been completed yet. Such a survey will be completed before the applicant files for a building permit. He noted the Unified Sewerage Agency ("USA') concluded there is no stream or spring on the site that warrants additional study, and he introduced a letter to that effect from USA. CUP 2000-00004 Hearings Officer Final Order (BAPS Temple West) Page 5 i • d. Mr. P. Patel testified the applicant will celebrate only four festivals per year as they have for thirteen years at the BAPS Temple in Portland. He also reaffirmed the applicant's understanding of and willingness to abide by the limitations proposed for the use (e.g., religious worship and related activities from 4 to 8 PM Sundays and four major festival celebrations a year on a Saturday or Sunday). He testified all activities associated with the temple (except arrival and departure of people and vehicles) will be conducted indoors, except for the opening celebration and the installation of religious symbols. He testified the applicant will install a sign, for which they first will obtain a permit. He testified the applicant will not use bells, PA systems or other sources of noise outside the building. He testified the caretaker apartment is small and is expected to house one person or a couple. He testified the temple facilities will be available for rent only to members of the temple, and that temple officials and/or the caretaker will attend all events. He argued on- site parking will be adequate to prevent on-street parking. He offered to allow other people to park on the property during non-temple hours. He described the library/bookstore. He agreed to toll the running of the 120-clock for 21 days to facilitate holding open the record. 7. At the conclusion of the hearing, the hearings officer ordered the record held open for one week for the applicant to introduce new evidence and testimony. The hearings officer held open the record for a second week for the public to offer new testimony and evidence and to respond to new evidence introduced the first week. The hearings officer held open the record for a third week for the applicant to submit a response to new evidence introduced the second week and for a closing argument. The record in this matter closed at 5 PM on Monday, July 16, 2001. Before the record closed, the city timely received new evidence and/or arguments from the applicant, Jane and Henry Massett, Dave Nerland, Tanja and Gary Bourque and Debra and James Bean. C. DISCUSSION 1. The overall issue in this case is whether the applicant has sustained the burden of proof by providing sufficient substantial evidence showing that the proposed temple does or will comply with the applicable approval criteria of the Tigard Community Development Code for a conditional use permit and concurrent site development review.? 2. The Staff Report identified the applicable approval criteria for the application and applied them to the record in the case. The hearings officer largely concurs in the identification of applicable criteria in the Staff Report and in the analysis and conclusions of City staff in that report; to wit, substantial evidence in the record shows that the proposed use does or can comply with the applicable approval standards and criteria for a CUP, and adoption of recommended conditions of approval as amended will ensure final plans are 7 CDC 18.330.030 provides as follows: The Hearings Officer shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny an application for a conditional use based on findings of fact with respect to each of the following criteria: 1. The site size and dimensions provide adequate area for the needs of the proposed use; 2. The impacts of the proposed use of the site can be accommodated considering size, shape, location, topography, and natural features; 3. All required public facilities have adequate capacity to serve the proposal; 4. The applicable requirements of the zoning district are met except as modified by this chapter; 5. The applicable requirements of 18.330.050; and 6. The supplementary requirements set forth in other chapters of this code including but not limited to Chapter 18.780, Signs, and Chapter 18.360, Site Development Review, if applicable, are met. CUP 2000-00004 Hearings Officer Final Order (BAPS Temple West) Page 6 • • submitted and implemented as approved consistent with those criteria and standards and will prevent, reduce or mitigate potential adverse impacts of the development consistent with the requirements of the CDC. The hearings officer adopts the findings and conclusions in the Staff Report as his own except as otherwise expressly provided herein. a. The City must base its decision on "substantial evidence," which is evidence on which a reasonably prudent person would rely in the conduct of a serious matter. It is more than a scintilla but less than a preponderance of the evidence. If, based on such evidence, a proposed use can comply with applicable approval standards using conditions of approval, then the City must approve the use subject to those conditions.8 b. If an application is complete within 180 days after it was filed, the relevant approval standards for the application are the standards in effect when it was filed, and the decision cannot be based on any other consideration.9 3. Before the city accepts an application for a Type III action, such as the CUP in this case, it requires applicants to provide notice of and to conduct a meeting to which owners of property in the surrounding area are invited. The applicant held such a meeting. a. Some neighbors complained the applicant failed to invite them to the meeting, although they own land within the notice area; and/or the applicant did not respond satisfactorily to the issues they raised at the meeting; and/or the applicant changed the plans after the meeting, among other complaints. Therefore, they argued, the application should be denied or subject to additional procedures. b. The hearings officer finds that notice of the neighborhood meeting and the conduct of the applicant at and in response to that meeting is not relevant to an applicable approval standard for the CUP. In fact, the meeting is not a requirement of the CDC at all. It is a laudable practice of city staff to require such a meeting, and applicants commonly do so. But it is not required by law. Therefore, whether the applicant complied with preferred practices for such a meeting is not relevant to the CUP application. c. The hearings officer is aware at least two other local government codes that do require pre-application meetings with neighbors as a matter of law (Beaverton and Washington County). Neither requires an applicant to respond to people who attend the meeting nor prohibits an applicant from amending plans after such a meeting. Such a s ORS 197.522 provides as follows: A local government shall approve an application for a permit, authorization or other approval necessary for the subdivision or partitioning of, or construction on, any land that is consistent with the comprehensive plan and applicable land use regulations or shall impose reasonable conditions on the application to make the proposed activity consistent with the plan and applicable regulations. A local government may deny an application that is inconsistent with the comprehensive plan and applicable land use regulations and that cannot be made consistent through the imposition of reasonable conditions of approval. (emphasis added) 9 ORS 227.173(1) provides as follows: Approval or denial of a discretionary permit application shall be based on standards and criteria, which shall be set forth in the development ordinance and which shall relate approval or denial of a discretionary permit application to the development ordinance and to the comprehensive plan for the area in which the development would occur and to the development ordinance and comprehensive plan for the city as a whole. CUP 2000-00004 Hearings Officer Final Order (BAPS Temple West) Page 7 0 meeting is intended to provide the opportunity for interested persons to learn more about a proposed use and to talk with the proponents. That occurred in this case. 4. The city is required to mail written notice of a public hearing regarding a land use decision to persons who own property within 500 feet of the site of a proposed conditional use permit. The applicant is responsible for assembling the notice list.10 Some witnesses who were entitled to it argued they did not receive notice of the hearing. a. The hearings officer fords the applicant provided the requisite envelopes consistent with the requirements of CDC 18.309.050, and that the city mailed the requisite notices based on the certifications in the record, consistent with CDC 18.309.050.C(1)(b). b. The fact that some persons entitled to written notice of the hearing did not receive such notice is not evidence it was not sent. Receipt of the notice is not required to comply with the CDC. 5. The proposed use is a religious institution, based on the plain meaning of the words in the definition of that term by the CDC. The temple is primarily a place of worship. Accessory uses include the classrooms, library/bookstore, cooking and dining facilities and caretaker dwelling unit. Therefore the use is permitted in the R4.5 zone pursuant to CDC Table 18.510.1. See the listing under "CIVIC (INSTITUTIONAL)". 6. The hearings officer acknowledges that the proposed structure will be larger and taller than other most structures in the immediate vicinity. To that extent it will not be consistent with the visual character of that vicinity. But the CDC does not require such consistency. See the standards in CDC 18.330.030.A (at footnote 7 above). The site development review standards likewise do not require such consistency. The purpose statements in CDC 18.360.010.B and 18.510.010.A are not approval criteria for the CUP or site development review. I t 10 CDC 18.390.050.B(2)(d) provides an application for a Type III review shall: Include two sets of pre-stamped, pre-addressed envelopes for all persons who are property owners of record as specified in Section 18.390.050C. The records of the Washington County Department of Assessment and Taxation shall be the official records for determining ownership. The applicant shall demonstrate that the most current assessment records have been used to produce the notice list; 11 CDC 18.360.090.A provides the following approval criteria for site development review: 1. Compliance with all of the applicable requirements of this title including Chapter 18.810, Street and Utility Standards; 2. Relationship to the natural and physical environment: a. Buildings shall be: (1) Located to preserve existing trees, topography and natural drainage where possible based upon existing site conditions; (2) Located in areas not subject to ground slumping or sliding; (3) Located to provide adequate distance between adjoining buildings for adequate light, air circulation, and fire-fighting; and (4) Oriented with consideration for sun and wind. b. Trees shall be preserved to the extent possible. Replacement of trees is subject to the requirements of Chapter 18.790, Tree Removal. 3. Exterior elevations: (not applicable) 4. Buffering, screening and compatibility between adjoining uses: CUP 2000-00004 Hearings Officer Final Order (BAPS Temple West) page 8 • 0 a. Buffering shall be provided between different types of land uses, for example, between single- family and multiple-family residential, and residential and commercial uses, and the following factors shall be considered in determining the adequacy of the type and extent of the buffer: (1) The purpose of the buffer, for example to decrease noise levels, absorb air pollution, filter dust, or to provide a visual barrier, (2) The size of the buffer required to achieve the purpose in terms of width and height; (3) The direction(s) from which buffering is needed; (4) The required density of the buffering; and (5) Whether the viewer is stationary or mobile. b. On site screening from view from adjoining properties of such things as service areas, storage areas, parking lots, and mechanical devices on roof tops, i.e., air cooling and heating systems, shall be provided and the following factors will be considered in determining the adequacy of the type and extent of the screening: (1) What needs to be screened; (2) The direction from which it is needed; (3) How dense the screen needs to be; (4) Whether the viewer is stationary or mobile; and (5) Whether the screening needs to be year around. 5. Privacy and noise: (not applicable) 6. Private outdoor area: (not applicable) 7. Shared outdoor recreation areas: (not applicable) 8. Development within and adjacent to the 100-year floodplain... (not applicable) 9. Demarcation of public, semi-public and private spaces for crime prevention: a. The structures and site improvements shall be designed so that public areas such as streets or public gathering places, semi-public areas and private outdoor areas are clearly defined to establish persons having a right to be in the space, to provide for crime prevention and to establish maintenance responsibility; and b. These areas may be defined by, but not limited to:... (3) A change in elevation or grade; (4) A change in the texture of the path material;... (6) Landscaping. 10. Crime prevention and safety: a. Windows shall be located so that areas vulnerable to crime can be surveyed by the occupants; b. Interior laundry and service areas shall be located in a way that they can be observed by others; c. Mail boxes shall be located in lighted areas having vehicular or pedestrian traffic; d. The exterior lighting levels shall be selected and the angles shall be oriented towards areas vulnerable to crime; and e. Light fixtures shall be provided in areas having heavy pedestrian or vehicular traffic and in potentially dangerous areas such as parking lots, stairs, ramps and abrupt grade changes. Fixtures shall be placed at a height so that light patterns overlap at a height of seven feet which is sufficient to illuminate a person. 11. Public transit: a. Provisions within the plan shall be included for providing for transit if the development proposal is adjacent to existing or proposed transit route; b. The requirements for transit facilities shall be based on: (1) The location of other transit facilities in the area; and (2) The size and type of the proposal. c. The following facilities may be required after City and Tri-Met review: (1) Bus stop shelters; (2) Turnouts for buses; and (3) Connecting paths to the shelters. 12. Landscaping: a. All landscaping shall be designed in accordance with Chapter 18.745; b. a minimum of 20 percent of the gross area including parking, loading and service areas shall be landscaped... 13. Drainage: All drainage plans shall be designed in accordance with the criteria in the adopted 1981 master drainage plan; CUP 2000-00004 Hearings Officer Final Order (BAPS Temple West) Page 9 • • a. The proposal complies with CDC 18.360.090.A(1), because it complies with other applicable standards of Title 18 as described in this Final Order and the Staff Report. It complies with CDC 18.810, because the applicant will dedicate for and improve streets abutting the site to city standards, including pavement, curbs, drainage, sidewalks and street trees, and will extend utilities (i.e., sewer, drainage and water) to the edges of the site. b. The proposal complies with CDC 18.360.090.A(2), because the small number of trees on the site and their location away from site edges make it impossible to preserve them. Trees to be saved or removed are identified on the preliminary site plan. The shallow topography of the site will not be changed significantly by proposed grading and is not subject to slumping or sliding. The proposed building is setback from adjoining buildings to allow for adequate light, air, circulation and fire-fighting, because the building is setback more than required generally in the R4.5 zone, and the proposed building will not exceed the height limit in the zone. There also is sufficient distance around the exterior side and rear of the building to provide for substantial landscaping. The applicant will replace existing trees that are removed for the development with new trees consistent with CDC 18.790, based on the preliminary landscape plan. c. The hearings officer finds that the proposed temple and surrounding single family homes are different types of land uses based on their classifications in Table 18.510-1. Therefore the applicant is required to buffer the site from surrounding properties based on the considerations in CDC 18.360.090.A(4). The purpose of the buffer in this case principally is to provide a visual barrier to protect the privacy of surrounding single family homes and to reduce the visual significance of the on-site parking and the relatively large size of the building on the site. By not having windows on the rear of the building or on the sides of the second story, the design of the proposed building reduces the potential for loss of privacy due to off-site views from elevated positions in the building: i. The hearings officer finds the proposed landscape plan, if amended, will comply with the buffer requirements of CDC 18.360.090.A(4), because there is enough distance in which to plant and maintain substantially opaque landscaping on the rear and exterior side of the building and around the exterior of the parking lot. ii. The applicant proposes to plant those areas with landscaping. Although the hearings officer finds the amount of landscaping proposed is inadequate to achieve its purpose, (e.g., cotoneaster on the rear of the building and the rear of the parking lot is a groundcover; it does not provide significant screening; the same is true for the currants proposed in front of the easterly parking area), additional and/or more suitable landscape materials can be provided where the proposed landscaping is inadequate. A minimum six-foot high hedge, wall or sight-obscuring fence should be provided along the rear and exterior side of the building, and landscaping consistent with a Type D buffer should be provided in the remainder of the setback. A relatively opaque, continuous vegetative barrier should be provided between the parking lot and the exterior of the site in addition to higher trees and groundcover.12 Also see the comments regarding CDC 18.745 at p. 13 of the Staff Report. 14. Provision for the disabled: All facilities for the disabled shall [comply with] ORS Chapter 447; and 15. All of the provisions and regulations of the underlying zone shall apply unless modified... 12 This also is warranted to comply with CDC 18.745.050.E, which provides as follows: CUP 2000-00004 Hearings Officer Final Order (BAPS Temple West) Page 10 • iii. Because the house at the northwest corner of the site is not proposed to be part of the conditional use, the applicant must provide a buffer between the parking lot and that house. There do not appear to be any roof-mounted equipment or exterior utilities that need to be buffered to comply with CDC 18.360.090.A(4)(b). If roof- or ground-mounted utility equipment is installed, it should be screened from view. iv. Because of the fencing and landscape buffers required on the periphery of the site, windows on the sides of the first floor of the building will not detract from the privacy of adjoining residents. Moreover the east-facing windows are in the living unit; so the impact of those windows is no greater than would be the windows in a single family home where the temple is proposed. d. Public spaces on the site are identified and distinguished from private areas by the building itself. Inside is private. Outside is semi-public or public. Pedestrian pathways (i.e., sidewalks) connect the different kinds of spaces. The sidewalk to the west needs to be extended to 115th Avenue to provide a continuous route to/from that street. The pedestrian crossing from that path to the building needs to be better distinguished by a change in material. Landscaping, as amended, will tend to keep people on the pathways intended for them and distinguishes public spaces outside the site from semi-public spaces between the building and the surrounding public and private property. With these changes and improvements, the transition between the private and public areas is sufficiently articulated by the design and materials on the site. Therefore the proposal does or can comply with CDC 18.360.090.A(9). e. Windows are oriented to the exterior of the building along the front and sides, from which occupants can view the directions from which perpetrators of crimes are most likely to approach the site. Exterior lights will be provided to deter criminal activity. The presence of a full-time caretaker, although not a design feature per se, also minimizes the potential for criminal activity on the site. The shallow grades on the site reduce the potential for a perpetrator to hide on the site. Although landscaping could provide such an opportunity, on balance, the landscaping is more important to protect the privacy of surrounding properties and to mitigate visual impacts. Therefore the proposal does or can comply with CDC 18.360.090.A(10). f. The site does not adjoin a public transit route, and Tri-Met did not respond to the city's notice of the application or hearing. Therefore the applicant is not required to do anything to comply with CDC 18.360.090.A(11). 1. Landscaped parking areas shall include special design features which effectively screen the parking lot areas from view. These design features may include the use of landscaped berms, decorative walls and raised planters; 2. Landscape planters may be used to define or screen the appearance of off-street parking areas from the public right-of-way; 3. Materials to be installed should achieve a balance between low lying and vertical shrubbery and trees; 4. Trees shall be planted in landscaped islands in all parking areas, and shall be equally distributed and on the basis of one tree for each seven parking spaces in order to provide a canopy effect; and 5. The minimum dimension of the landscape islands shall be three feet and the landscaping shall be protected from vehicular damage by some form of wheel guard or curb. CUP 2000-00004 Hearings Officer Final Order (BAPS Temple West) Page 11 • g. The proposal does or can comply with CDC 18.360.090.A(12), because landscaping is proposed or required that will comply with CDC 18.745, and more than 37% of the site will be in landscaping. h. The applicant proposes to collect storm water from all impervious areas of the site and to carry that stormwater to a water quality swale where it can be treated, detained and metered-out at no greater rate than before the site was developed. See the preliminary drainage calculations and preliminary site grading and utility plan. Storm water will be discharged to the public storm sewer in Tigard Street. This is consistent with the 1981 master drainage plan. i. The preliminary site plan shows parking and ramps for disabled persons, consistent with ORS 447. Final plans can be required to ensure compliance. j. The proposal complies with all of the provisions of the R4.5 zone, based on the discussion of the use provided herein and the preliminary site plan and'elevations, which show the building complies with required setbacks and does not exceed the maximum permitted height in the zone. k. Nothing in the site development review regulations authorizes the city to dictate or prohibit the use of certain colors for the exterior of the building. However the hearings officer fords that the applicant proposed to paint the building with colors that are typical of the area so that the building is not obtrusive or garish due to its exterior finish. A condition of approval is warranted to require the applicant to finish the building in a color or colors consistent with that testimony. 7. The hearings officer is persuaded that the proposed use will not generate excessive noise, lights, traffic and other effects that cannot be adequately mitigated. These impacts can be accommodated considering the size, shape, location, topography and natural features of the site. a. There is little potential for excessive noise, because substantially all activities associated with the proposed use are conducted inside the building, and no exterior noise sources are planned. A condition of approval is warranted to prohibit sources of outdoor noise, such as bells, amplified sound systems or regular outdoor assemblies, consistent with the applicant's testimony. i. The few outdoor assemblies planned, when the temple opens and when religious symbols are brought to the temple, are of such short duration and occur so infrequently that they should be permitted, because their impacts are not excessive. ii. However, outdoor assemblies, even of a temporary and infrequent nature, must accommodate the parking needs of the temple on the site, and should be situated on the property with that in mind. b. Excessive lighting can be addressed by conditions of approval that limit the level of lighting at the property line and require light fixtures to be designed, situated and/or supplemented so they do not cast significant off-sight glare. Also conditions can provide that lights not required for security purposes should be turned off when there are no scheduled activities at the temple. A condition of approval is warranted requiring lighting to be as described herein. It is feasible for the applicant to produce a final site plan showing light fixtures, specifications for fixtures and a lighting plan (including calculated light levels at the property line) to comply with such a condition. CUP 2000-00004 Hearings Officer Final Order (BAPS Temple West) page 12 c. Traffic associated with the use is not excessive, because it will not cause affected streets or intersections to exceed their design capacity or to drop below an acceptable level of service, principally because most of the traffic associated with the use is non-peak and weekend traffic, based particularly on the oral testimony by Mr. Ahrend, his April 19, 2000 traffic study and his June 29, 2001 supplement regarding Saturday traffic. By providing street improvements abutting the site, the proposed use at least offsets its impact on affected streets. The weekday traffic associated with the use (i.e., the trips by the caretaker/spouse and the relatively few individuals who attends morning and evening rituals), is insignificant (i.e., equivalent to two or three dwelling units). However a condition of approval is warranted to prohibit the applicant from conducting more activities on the site than those described herein or in the application without prior review and approval of a modification to the conditional use permit, so that traffic during weekdays does not become excessive during peak hours when the transportation system is more sensitive to increases. i. Although almost every witness in opposition objected to the additional traffic the temple will cause, no one introduced substantial evidence to rebut the expert opinion and statistical and survey evidence provided by Mr. Ahrend that streets in the area can accommodate that traffic safely. id. The hearings officer is not persuaded by popular opinion that traffic from the temple will be significantly adverse. That does not mean the traffic will not have any impact. Additional trips on area streets will require people to use more care when navigating those streets. Parents will have to instruct their children accordingly and monitor them as necessary. Residents of 114th Place to the south will have to look for traffic entering from the temple site as well as east- and westbound traffic on Tigard Street, exercising additional care. However these impacts are not significantly adverse. They follow logically from the site's location in a relatively well-developed section of the urban area where city streets are incrementally being improved in keeping with the original development of the area and subsequent infill and redevelopment. Compared to the traffic impact of uses that would be permitted outright on the site (e.g., 11 single family homes that, on average, would generate 110 weekday trips and 10 to 12 weekday AM and PM peak hour trips), the impact of the temple is not greater on the road system, particularly not when the road system is most sensitive to additional trips. iii. The hearings officer is persuaded that the traffic data from April, 2000 is a reasonable basis for the findings in the traffic study. The trip counts were done at the site. They do not include detour traffic, but most of the detour traffic will return to other routes soon. Including detour traffic would skew the results and present an inaccurate picture of typical conditions. Also, although intersections beyond those studied will be affected by traffic from the temple, the hearings officer is persuaded that they will not be significantly affected. For instance, although the hearings officer accepts the testimony of witnesses that the intersection of Tiedeman Avenue and Dakota Street may be congested at peak hours on weekdays, the same is not true for weekends, when traffic volumes generally are almost half. Because the temple will generate weekend traffic, the congested condition of other intersections during weekday peaks is not particularly probative. iv. The hearings officer is persuaded by the testimony of the witnesses, including Mr. Ahrend, that stop signs should replace the yield signs at 115th Avenue and Tigard Street to make the intersection function more safely. However city staff did not concisely address this issue after the hearing. The hearings officer concludes that the city engineer should review the function of the signage at the intersection before occupancy of the proposed temple and should replace the yield signs with a stop signs if he or she finds it is warranted. If a change in signage is warranted, the applicant should pay for the new signs to be installed, in part, because the applicant agreed to pay for them. CUP 2000-00004 Hearings Officer Final Order (BAPS Temple West) Page 13 • • v. The hearings officer is not persuaded that a condition of approval is warranted limiting the number of trips generated by the temple, because there is no reasonable basis for concluding the temple will generate more traffic than projected if it does not operate more intensely than proposed. Conditions of approval will limit the intensity of the use so it is not reasonably likely to generate more traffic than projected. d. The location of the site in a residential area does not mean the temple cannot accommodate its impacts. It is one factor to consider. However, where a use does not generate excessive lights, noise, traffic, vibration, odors or other pollution, and where the building can comply with applicable dimensional standards that apply to the vicinity, and where associated parking can be provided, and the building and parking can be buffered from the surrounding residences, and where windows are situated to minimize views of surrounding properties from within the building, there is no basis for concluding that the site location cannot accommodate the impacts of the use. The only remaining impacts are intrinsic and in the eye of the beholder. i. Certainly the use is dissimilar from single family homes that surround it. It will have an effect. To the neighbors on the east and north, that effect will be most pronounced, because they are closest to the site. The relatively large size of those neighboring properties, the mature hedge to the north and the large accessory building to the east help diminish the significance of the large temple building. Limiting the height of most of the building to 23 feet and providing substantial landscaping where it does not exist along the property lines will further mitigate the impact. ii. The temple will still have an effect. But that does not make the site inappropriate. Religious institutions exist throughout single family area in this city and throughout the United States. They do not conflict inherently. Conflicts can arise where roads are inadequate to accommodate the number and nature of trips that will be generated, where the site is too small to accommodate needed off-street parking and landscape or other buffers, or where urban infrastructure is not available. That is not the case here. iii. Many of the concerns voiced by neighbors are reasonable, but many appeared to be based on fear of the unknown and of change. Additional information generated and reaffirmed during the review process responds to many of those fears. The applicant might not have answered every question the neighbors posed, but the information the applicant provided was sufficient to address the applicable approval standards for the temple. To the extent fears remain, they are not a legal basis for denial of the application, because the applicant has sustained the burden of proof. 8. There was testimony that a spring or outfall or other source of water enters the property. a. The hearings officer is not persuaded that there is a spring or outfall or other source of water that enters the property. There is no substantial evidence in the record that such a spring or water source exists, and it was not identified in the hydrology report dated January 3, 2001 by TRT Engineering, Inc. or on any official inventory of such features. The topographic maps do not suggest a natural drainageway exists on the site. The hearings officer did not observe water on the site. No one presented pictures showing a spring or other water source on the site. USA has determined that no further research is needed to evaluate natural conditions on the site, based on its letter in the record. b. Because a spring or water source is not included on the city's wetland inventory, its existence would not trigger a sensitive lands review or other approval criteria. CUP 2000-00004 Hearings Officer Final Order (BAPS Temple West) Page 14 i i c. If a spring or water source does exist, the hearings officer is persuaded that it is not subject to state or federal regulation, because of its small size and isolation from other wetlands or water features. d. The storm water drainage plan provides for a drainage line in the vicinity of the alleged water source. A line could be extended to capture any water from such a source and pass it through to the public storm drain system in Tigard Street directly or through the biofiltration swale, as provided by applicable standards. The swale can be enlarged as needed to accommodate the relatively small incremental addition of water from such a water feature, if it exists. A condition is warranted to further research the existence and nature of a spring or other water source or outfall on the property and, if it exists, to respond accordingly in the final storm drainage plan. 9. The hearings officer is persuaded that subsurface water will not flow unimpeded from the site through the excavation for the sewer extension to drain at the south end of 114th Place, because city standards require an applicant for a street encroachment permit to provide engineered plans showing how such potential flows will be collected and directed to the public storm drainage system. 10. One witness testified she observed a pileated woodpecker nest on the site, although she did not offer corroboration. Such a nest will be displaced by development. Even if there is a pileated woodpecker nest on the site, the hearings officer finds it is not relevant to an applicable approval criteria. 11. The hearings officer finds that the applicant did submit an "impact study" consistent with CDC 18.390.050, because a study is labeled as such in the application. Although it is not extensive, it is sufficient, when combined with other substantial evidence in the record, to make necessary findings for approval. 12. The hearings officer also finds the applicant submitted a preliminary grading plan. See the plan labeled "Site Grading and Utility Plan." The preliminary grading plan is incomplete. It shows the existing grades on the whole site and proposed grading associated with the biofiltration Swale, but it does not show other proposed grading (e.g., for the parking lot or the temple-proper). However, even without a thoroughly complete preliminary grading plan, there is sufficient substantial evidence in the record about the grades on the property for the hearings officer to make the necessary findings that relate to that issue. The plan is sufficient to conclude that the site has a shallow southerly slope, and that no portions of the site are steeply sloped. Additional information is not needed to make necessary findings of fact in response to an applicable approval standard (e.g., that the impacts of the use can be accommodated considering topography; CDC 18.330.030.A(2)). 13. That the neighbors generally distrust the applicant was evident from their demeanor at the hearing and from their written testimony before and after the hearing. However such distrust is not substantial evidence of anything, and it often leads to misinformation. 13 The applicant proposed to build and operate the use as represented. If built and operated as represented, subject to a few caveats, the temple will comply with 13 For instance, it was argued that the applicant failed to described how 6000 square feet on the second floor of the building would be used, implying its use would generate additional impacts that were not considered. In fact, there is not 6000 square feet on the whole second floor. Use of the about 3000 square feet in two separate rooms was not allocated in the original application. In a supplement timely filed after the hearing, the applicant assigned those two rooms for multi-purpose use. Given the often multiple purposes served by a religious institution, such a designation is neither unusual nor suspect. CUP 2000-00004 Hearings Officer Final Order (BAPS Temple West) Page 15 applicable standards. Conditions of approval are warranted to ensure the use will operate as -represented (or as more restricted by conditions). If it is feasible for the applicant to "Comply with those conditions, the hearings officer must assume the applicant will do so. If the applicant does not do so, it can be the subject of enforcement, ultimately resulting in revocation of the permit. Such a severe consequence generally is sufficient incentive for an applicant to comply. Even if it is not, the hearings officer cannot base his decision on speculation about such matters. 14. The hearings officer finds that the applicant should not be required to place the first floor of the temple underground so that the building is one story above grade. Such a condition is not warranted, because the maximum building height is 30 feet not one story. A building that is only one story above grade would better comply with CDC 18.330.030.A(2) and 18.309.090.A(4), because it would have fewer visual impacts that would need to be accommodated and mitigated. However, even without reducing the height of the building to one story, the hearings officer finds that the application complies with CDC 18.330.030.A(2) and 18.309.090.A(4) for the reasons given in the discussion of those sections above. Also placing the first story of the building below grade would require additional grading and could conflict with CDC 18.309.090.A(2)(a)(1). However the applicant may place the finished first floor elevation a few feet below grade if practicable while meeting other needs for the building. 15. The hearings officer is persuaded that the conditions of approval recommended by city staff are consistent with the applicable approval standards and are feasible. The hearings officer also is persuaded additional conditions of approval are warranted to address issues raised in the public hearing and to require the applicant to build and operate the temple substantially as represented in the application and in the applicant's testimony, except as otherwise limited herein. Therefore conditions of approval are warranted, among other things, limiting the nature, hours and number of events at the site, requiring additional landscaping and fencing, prohibiting windows on the rear of the building or on the second floor, prohibiting elements such as bells or amplified sound systems that produce noise outdoors, prohibiting rental of the facility by people who are not members of the temple, prohibiting use of the parking lot except by temple members, and requiring the applicant to finish the building in a compatible color and to maintain the building, parking and landscaping in good condition. Those conditions are listed below. 16. Other objections to the application and Staff Report were not relevant, were inconsistent with the plain meaning of the words in the applicable approval standards, were not supported by substantial evidence, or were not persuasive to the hearings officer in light of all of the substantial evidence in the whole record. D. CONCLUSIONS Based on the findings and discussion provided or incorporated in this final order, the hearings officer concludes that the applicant sustained the burden of proof that the proposed conditional use permit and associated site development review does or will comply with the applicable criteria and standards of the Community Development Code, provided development that occurs after this decision complies with applicable local, state, and federal laws and with conditions of approval warranted to ensure such compliance occurs in fact.

We already have more traffic than the area can safely handle. This is a residential area. There are plenty of other vacant properties in the area on streets that are already developed that would be able to support a church. According to the church representatives and the builder they want to put up a 13,000 square foot building with 57 parking spaces. They kept saying that there were only 100 members but what happens as the congregation grows and there are not enough parking spaces for all the cars. Will the overflow cars park on Tigard Street and 115`h Street or on the other side streets in the area? They kept saying that the congregation would not grow. What happens as the children grow up, get married, have children and continue in this church? Is this not growth? A better use for this piece of land would be a neighborhood park which all the neighbors in the area would be able to use and enjoy. I do want to be sure to be notified of all meetings and decisions regarding this property. I have lived in this neighborhood for 28 years and my son just recently bought a house down the street because he loved the neighborhood he grew up in. We certainly do not like the idea of our property values dropping due to the inappropriate use of the one corner.

Hall Blvd. Tigard, Oregon 97223 Dear Ms. Fox: RECEIVED PLANNING MAR 31 2000 CITY OF TIGARD I attended the neighborhood meeting last Wednesday evening, March 22, concerning the proposal for a church on the corner of 115th Avenue and Tigard Avenue. I am very much against the idea of a church on that corner, or any other building(s) for that matter. Traffic is already horrendous on these two streets, as everyone has found it a good "cut-through" street. This includes the police department and fire department! The speed limit on Tigard Avenue is 35 miles per hour until approximately Gallo Avenue, then drops to 25. Even though the police occasionally patrol and issue citations, on most days, traffic is moving at 35 to 45 miles an hour - even occasionally missing the corner and crashing! I have even been passed by another car while traveling the speed limit! If you are heading west on Tigard and wish to cross 115th, you can easily be rear-ended while waiting for traffic to clear. You just hope and pray that the person behind you is paying attention! I would hope another use of this property could be found. An open area for neighborhood use (park?) would be wonderful. Please advise the next step in this process, as the people conducting the meeting could not answer that question. Sincerely, Janet Morris-Sohler 11875 S.W.

It is a daily occurrence for myself to see vehicles speed, drive on the wrong side of the road, and run stop signs right here in front of my house. As the traffic has increased, so has the number of these traffic violations. The neighborhood has asked the city for some kind of traffic control devices, such as speed humps, to be installed on Tigard St./Dr. and 115 h Ave. to help reduce these problems. The city informed us that this was not possible since the city's emergency vehicles use these streets as a main cut through to other areas of Tigard. So why put a church in a residential neighborhood that already has major traffic problems? I understand the future will only bring more traffic through our once quiet neighborhood, but why increase the flow now when nothing can be done to control the existing problems. This is only one of many concerns that I thought you should be aware of. I would be more than willing to have you or any member of your staff stop by my residence and witness these traffic problems that I mentioned above. If you have any information or questions for me regarding this matter please give me a call at 524-7222. I am available at this number anytime before 3:00pm weekdays and all day weekends. Also, I would like to be placed on the mailing list for any further meetings, hearings, or discussions regarding this proposal if at all possible. My mailing address is listed at the top of the page.

OR. This hearing is to address a condltional use pe=lt # 2000.2004. The parcel of land the hearing applies to is located at the intersection of SW 115'" and Tigard Street in Tigard. A large temple complex is proposed at this location. This has profound implications for the Summer Crest/Burlerest neighborhood along with the neighborhoods that encompass SW 115`hSt, SW 114th ST and. SW 130i ST. The proposed land use change has significant implications to our, neighborhood. Decreased property values, increased traffic congestion, safety risks to eur children and, threats to diminish the quality of life and livability of our quiet residential neighborhoods. These are the realities if the City of Tigard allows the land use change. This is YOUR OPPORTUNITY to voice your concerns. The proposed land use change will occupy approximately 20,000 sq. ft. and will rase to over 3 stories tall. The facility will have 90-100 parking spaces. It will house classrooms, a cafeteria, a library and, seating for 150-200 persons. It will be available 365 days and evenings per year and will rent space to others. This project to date has been misrepresented and the extent and impact this facility will have has been minimized. To date no traffic impact study has bean required and there's been no effort to determine the nature of the impact of how outdoor lighting will affect neighborhoods and homes. The number of neighborhood residents attending the meeting and public comment opposing the land use change is important. Requesting an appeal will provide additional time for review of how appropriate this land use change really is. Letters and phone calls to Tigard City Hall officials need to be made before the hearing on June 25th. Attached is a list of city officials you can write or call to express your views.

I would like to register my concerns about allowing a Conditional Use Permit for this project. I believe instead of solving a problem for someone, it will create a whole range of new problems for the neighborhood. There will be increased traffic into the area. In the past two years, there have been at least three accidents at the intersection of 115' and Tigard Street. More traffic will mean more accidents and safety risks for residents and their children. I am concerned about how a three-story temple, lighting, and nearly a hundred parking spaces will look in a residential neighborhood. I am concerned about neighborhood property values. Who will want to buy a home right off of a busy three-lane street next door to a temple? Given the description of the proposed temple, I believe it will be in use the entire week. To justify an auditorium, kitchen, dining area, sanctuary, classrooms, and a library, it will have to be used continually. I think after looking at the impact of this project objectively, you would not want this built in YOUR neighborhood. The conservative approach would be to simply build low- density residential housing on this lot, as the zoning requires. Sincerely, 7Z Michael Jewett 11555 SW Tigard Dr Tigard, OR 97223 Cc: Craig Dirksen, Brian Moore, Joyce Patton, Ken Scheckla - Councilors Jim Griffith - Mayor aNVE)Il -40 A110 City of Tigard Planning Department Attn: Kevin Young- Ref: BAPS TEMPLE WEST File No: CUP 2000-00004 June 20, 2001 1001 T Z Nnr E)NiNNV Id a3A1303a The purpose of this letter is to address overall concerns with the proposed temple facility on the corner of SW 115`" and Tigard streets. We are the neighbors immediately to the east of the property. Most of our concerns have already been expressed in the March 2000 neighborhood meeting, where 100% of the 38 families in attendance voted "no" on the proposal. Those concerns include the following: 1. This is a neighborhood, with no industrial or commercial buildings. 100% housing. 2. Traffic is a major concern, as we have experienced with the closure of SW Walnut/121" streets and all traffic detoured through our neighborhood. Our existing streets can't handle what we have. 3. Parking is also a major concern, as the proposal for 92 parking spaces will accommodate the churchgoers for how many years? As all congregations grow, where are the additional cars going to park? Where are cars going to park during the 4-times a year church festivals? There is no on-street parking! ! 4. Overall flooding problems occurred in the neighborhood during the 1996/1997 storms. This was primarily due to development north of us, affecting the flood plain and diverting all water onto my property. We installed over 1000 feet of drain system to handle the run-off. More significant development will cause more run-off problems. Specifically on the proposed property, there is a creek/spring that carries water directly from the north into Tigard Street, causing standing water whenever heavy rains occur. This "creek" is in the middle of the property and has not been addressed in any plans or an environmental assessment. I have spoken to Timothy Turner (TRT Engineering, Inc.) expressing this issue. He has responded that this has not been evaluated as part of the property proposal. This will cause in area flooding and erosion on the proposed structures. This must be addressed and resolved before any approval can be made. 5. Overall privacy and impact on the neighborhood. The original proposal was for a single story structure, but due to parking requirements (so here we already have parking problems) the structure is now two stories high, with three story towers on the North and South ends. So, we will be seeing 32-foot high wall when we look out our dining room window, no longer the view to the west and sunsets. In addition, the proposal shows huge lights all over the property, including at least four security light on the East wall of the structure. These lights will shine directly into bedrooms and living quarters of our house. It will be "daylight" round the clock, again our privacy is gone. Window3s are also proposed on the East side, so assume church goers will be able to stare down at us any time if the day. No more privacy and quiet neighborhood. I know this is a mute point to the property owners, but this is our home, neighborhood and place we have selected to raise our families. We selected this area due to its neighborhood and family appeal, not an industrial or commercial area. City of Tigard Planning Department Page2 6. Impact to property values. We know this proposal will severely impact the value of our property, as who would want to purchase a home next door to a 32' high wall? 7. Last but not least, we submitted a request to build a 4-car garage shop on our one-acre lot, but were denied this 1200 square foot structure, as it is detached and zoning does not allow it. This limited us to a 528 square foot building, although we have more than ample property to build larger. Now, a proposal to build a 19,000 square foot building is moving towards approval. Common sense says there is something wrong with this picture. In closing, we, as well as the entire surrounding neighborhood are against this proposal for valid concerns that exist.

According to the Level D buffer requirements, a fence would have to be 6 feet tall and sight-obscuring. Oak Haven <oak.haven @verizon.net> 06/20/01 11:30AM Good Morning Kevin, Yes there is a 4' chain link fence which is on my property (according to the orange survey stakes), but I have not had a survey done there are several surveys of my property since 1880. Does it count if it's my fence? and it does run the length of the property.. My property does have live solid row of plantings on part of the property, but it is only on the part they are not going to use (existing house). Thank you for checking on that, the landscaping plan is hard to read, due to what I think are the drain pipes (which I thought at first were bushes). Tanja Bourque file:HC:\WINDOWS\TEMP\GW} 00006.HTM 06/20/2001 Page 1 of 1 • • Good question. I believe there is an existing 4-foot tall chain-link fence separating the development site from your property to the north. I couldn't tell from the street whether it extends all the way along the property boundary, but I bet you know. The applicants do show some type of fencing on their proposed plans, but don't indicate what type of fencing it is. I think that the fence they show is the existing fence. At any rate, a 4-foot tall chain-link fence will not provide adequate buffering as required by code. In the staff report, I recommend that the Hearings Officer require a solid row of hedge plantings along the northern property line (as well as in other areas). This is one of the acceptable buffering options from Table 18.745.2 of the Tigard Development Code. Hope that helps! - Kevin Young Oak Haven <oak.haven @verizon.net> 06/19/01 10:46AM Kevin, Thank you for the information. Another question... sorry... don't see any kind of fence shown in the plans, but it is really hard to tell. Is there a fence being built to divide the properties and block the sound from their back (I am assuming service door, since the kitchen is right there)? Thank you again for all the work, I just wish I had known about this sooner to have been able to make an educated choice, now I am already in love with the property and reluctant to move (esp. since I am not even finished moving in). Tanja Bourque I received the email you sent regarding the BAPS notice. On the first page of the notice there is a section with the heading, "Applicable Review Criteria." Those are the review criteria applicable to this request. We don't include the full text of the code requirements, as it would be cost-prohibitive to make these copies for everyone within 500 feet of the property. However, the Tigard Development Code is available on-line, at http://www.ci.tigard.or.us/Titlel8/toc.htm I hope this is helpful to you. Please let me know if you have additional concerns. - Kevin Young about:blank 06/20/2001 . . Page 1 of 1 Good Morning Mayor Griffith, My name is Tanja Bourque and I live at 11455 SW 115th Ave in Tigard. My husband and I recently purchased this 2 acre lot to raise our family on, my son Max (5) and my daughter Bianca (almost 3). We bought it here to live in a nice quiet, established, and hometown neighborhood. Monday I received a Public Hearing notice about the property next door, 11435 SW 115th Ave, Tax Lot 700 in Tigard. They are proposing to put up a 19,000 sq. ft. two story Temple and 92 parking spaces in the middle of a low density residential neighborhood. The increased traffic, the noise, the pollution, the construction, the property values, property taxes, the i-T g1T" of tion and the integrity of this neighborhood are among the many concerns we as residents of this wonderful neighborhood have been discussing. There are other concerns as well drainage and sewer (we are still on septic as are my neighbors), widening of Tigard Street, and the change in plans, since the last meeting in March 2000, which no one was made aware of until I took it upon myself to get copies from the city and walk the neighborhood. I ask, that as Mayor, you come to our neighborhood and talk to the people who have lived here for year, some have been here over 20 years, and see what your citizen have to say, I have and their stories are all different and their reasons for opposing this development are also all unique. I encourage you to get in touch with the people and make them see that you care, because talking to them their major complain is the city doesn't care about it's people, just money. So help me make them believe this is not the case, because I still have hope, that the city does care about the people who make-up it's communities.

I reside at 11755 SW 114th Place, directly across Tigard Street from the proposed development. I have been a resident of this community since 1990 and am very concerned about the impact that this development would have on my neighborhood. Tigard Site Development Review Code 18.360 Section B.3 states: B. General purposes. It is in the public interest and necessary for the promotion of the health, safety and welfare, convenience, comfort and prosperity of the citizens of the City of Tigard: 3. To maintain and improve the qualities of and relationships between individual buildings, structures and the physical developments which best contribute to the amenities and attractiveness of an area or neighborhood; The proposed BAPS development is clearly in violation of this ordinance. The temple building is proposed to be 19,500 square feet and 32 feet tall. This building would clearly violate the intent of "maintaining and improving the relationships between individual buildings" as the vast majority of buildings in this area are small, single story, single family dwellings. There would be essentially no relationship between the homes in this area and this large temple building. The parking lot is proposed to have 92 parking spaces. This also violates the intent of "physical developments which best contribute to the amenities and attractiveness of an area or neighborhood". The proposed development is located on the corner of Tigard Street and 115th Avenue, both two-lane roads. Creating a 92-space parking lot in this location would greatly increase the amount of paved surface, and negatively impact the appearance of the area. Tigard Residential Zoning District Code 18.510 Section A states: A. Preserve neighborhood livability. One of the major purposes of the regulations governing development in residential zoning districts is to protect the livability of existing and future residential neighborhoods, by encouraging primarily residential development with compatible non-residential development schools, churches, parks and recreation facilities, day care centers, neighborhood. commercial uses and other services at appropriate locations and at an appropriate scale. file://C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\GW } 00006.HTM 06/21/2001 June 20, 2001 Page 2 of 2 The proposed BAPS temple development is in violation of this ordinance due to the scale of the proposed building and parking lot. Because of its size, the temple and its parking lot would become the dominant feature in the neighborhood. It is for these reasons that I object to this proposed development and urge the planning committee to deny the approval of the conditional use permit. Respectfully, John Benassu 11755 SW 114th Place Tigard, OR 97223 jbenassu@nwlink.com file://C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\GW} 00006.HTM 06/21/2001 Page 1 of 1 0 Thanks, I also talked to Mike Mills who was very helpful with some of the road improvement questions thanks for referring me to him. Talk soon, but hopefully not too soon, Tanja Bourque 0 file://C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\GW) 00006.HTM 06/20/2001 Page 1 of 2 Thanks for your correspondence. -I'll make sure that your letter is included in the materials that go to the Hearings Officer, who will decide the issue. "SUE" <sbeilke@europa.com> 06/22/01 10:13AM June 21, 2001 Kevin Young Associate Planner, City of Tigard 13125 SW Hall Blvd. Tigard, OR 97223 Dear Mr. Young, I am writing in regard to the proposed BAPS temple development project at the corner of Tigard street and 115th, and to let you know I oppose this project as do all of my neighbors!! We have lived in this area for 11 years and this project does not fit in with the neighborhood nor does it meet the needs of any of the residents that live here. It also clearly violates the City of Tigard Site Development Review codes in the following manners: - Code 18.360 Section B.3: This code would be violated since the proposed 19,000 sq.ft. building does not fit in with the existing small, mostly 1 story houses in the neighborhood. Last year when the BAPS representatives held a meeting for the neighborhood, they said the building would be "small, modest and not used very often". The 92 proposed parking spaces is also violates the intent of "physical developments which best contribute to the amenities and attractiveness of an area or neighborhood" as stated in the code. This ugly, paved parking lot for something that would supposedly only be used once a week is ridiculous and would be an eyesore in our neighborhood!!! - Code 18.510 Section A: This code would also be violated since the livability of the neighborhood would certainly not be preserved with this project. This area is relatively quiet (except for the temporary traffic due to the detour from 121 St, which by the way none of the neighbors were informed about) and this project would ruin the rural feel we still have in this area. This proposed temple would be much better located somewhere off Scholls Ferry Rd. where there is an appropriate wide street, bus transport, and other amenities for such a proposed project as this. Tigard street can not take the additional traffic this temple would bring: It is a minor connecter and already has enough traffic! We do not want it widened nor improved and you will soon find out that this is the feeling of file:HC:\VWINDOWS\TEMP\GW) 00006.HTM 06/22/2001 Page 2 of 2 all of the people who live in this neighborhood. We attended all the meetings last year for the transportation bond measure and soundly defeated any attempt to get Tigard Street widened. Our vision for this neighborhood is to keep it safe and quiet for all who live here and to have more greenspaces and parks, and under the next Bond measure we want this property bought and for it to be a small city park with a playground, wooded area for birds and a butterfly garden, and maybe garden plots for anyone who wants to have a garden. We will not allow any more buildings or concrete to destroy our quality of living! Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

This concerns me since my property is within 500 ft. of the proposed Temple site. I am referring to the list accompanied with an Affidavit of Mailing dated March 8, 2001. In a review of that list my name appears as on of the persons to be notified by mail. I did not receive any notice at that time or since that time. I first became aware of the Temple being built when my neighbor gave me a copy of the notice of the public hearing that is scheduled on June 25th 2001. 1 am quite concerned that I have not received a notice when my name appears on the list provided by the city of Tigard.

You raise a lot of issues here. In regards to the survey, it's my understanding that a survey will be required at some point in the permitting process. Brian Rager is more knowledgeable about this requirement. I think the issues you raise are things that could be communicated to the Hearings Officer at the hearing. I will make sure that he receives copies of these emails as part of the public record. The Hearings Officer has the ability to attach conditions to the approval, if he feels that they are warranted by the code criteria. Oak Haven <oak.haven @verizon.net> 06/22/01 12:10AM Good Morning Kevin, I received your staff report from a neighbor this evening and have read it once. I am please to see that you are at least hearing some of our concern. I still don't quite understand why there is no survey and how the plans are to be approve if they or for that matter we don't know where the property lines are drawn. It seems like everyone is assuming that BAPS did their homework and knows. This neighborhood is very friendly and the horses that once live on the property I now own use to graze on the proposed temple site, so the neighbors don't really know what belongs where, and I having so little time could not research all things properly. Also the fence and screening are conditioned only on the parking portion of the site, what about the windows and doors from their North side (facing my south, or backyard) is that fence going to block that (doesn't sound like you are requiring that) view (theirs and mine and the Anderson's front door) from anything. Besides isn't that door considered a service door if it comes from the kitchen and aren't there screening requirements for that as well? The limiting time: You didn't think it was necessary ...so what keeps them from using it everyday for any purpose and renting it out to make back the costs? I know that they don't only have 4 festivals, I believe there are 43 or 44? But you can check here: http://www.swaminarayan.orgi/ or here http://www.swaminarayan.org/festivals/index.htm or here http://www.swaminarayan.org/festivals/annualfestivals/index.htm or are they going to celebrate those equally important festivals elsewhere? So we believe it will be used more than it is being stated, beside they have a history of saying one thing and doing another and actions speak louder than words. Which brings me to overflow parking they may have enough parking technically, but what if there's a wedding and 300 people show up and they park in the bike/ped. lane up 115th. Police won't come, no signs, but code says there is no parking, but the police say "there are no signs". This is my first look at the report. My neighbors and I will be looking at it in more detail in the next few day. Thank you for your help, Tanja Bourque PS Phone conversations don't count for much these days, do they! If I don't speak with you before the weekend have a good one. I feel like I know you, that pretty bad, don't you think. >1 don't think it counts as effective buffering whether it's on your >property or the applicants.

Also, because Tigard Street is not a main street, we do not feel it is adequate to take care of the increased traffic that will result from this facility now and in the future. We are also concerned about any overflow parking when the church lot is full. This would cause congestion on adjacent streets, and would also result in a hazardous situation as visibility would be significantly reduced on these streets. We understand that a feasibility study of the increased traffic and its impact has not been done, and certainly believe it should be before any decision is made on this proposed use. All of these issues will become more of a problem in the future as their congregation grows and more people visit the church.

As resident neighbors, we feel that the plans for this property are incongruent with the neighborhood. Just one year ago this same property had horses grazing on it.

This neighborhood should be kept a residential one. We are contesting the proposed development of this land as such. Marsha and Neal Jurgenson 11750 SW Burlcrest Drive • Page 1 of 1 RECEIVED C.O.T.

The subject of your letter pertains to a land use application, therefore, your letter was forwarded to the decision-making authority, the Tigard Hearings Officer.

I would like to register my concerns about allowing a Conditional Use Permit for this project. I believe instead of solving a problem for someone, it will create a whole range of new problems for the neighborhood. There will be increased traffic into the area. In the past two years, there have been at least three accidents at the intersection of 115th and Tigard Street. More traffic will mean more accidents and safety risks for residents and their children. I am concerned about how a three-story temple, lighting, and nearly a hundred parking spaces will look in a residential neighborhood. I am concerned about neighborhood property values. Who will want to buy a home right off of a busy three-lane street next door to a temple? Given the description of the proposed temple, I believe it will be in use the entire week. To justify an auditorium, kitchen, dining area, sanctuary, classrooms, and a library, it will have to be used continually. I think after looking at the impact of this project objectively, you would not want this built in YOUR neighborhood. The conservative approach would be to simply build low- density residential housing on this lot, as the zoning requires. Sincerely, Michael Jewett 11555 SW Tigard Dr Tigard, OR 97223 Cc: Craig Dirksen, Brian Moore, Joyce Patton, Ken Scheckla - Councilors Jim Griffith - Mayor To the Tigard Planning Commission: • RECD JUN 2 5 2001 June 12, 2001 My name is Trish Anderson and I reside at 11897 SW 113th Place, Tigard. I am opposed to the zoning change proposed for the lot at the corner of Tigard Street and 115th. The sign says the zoning change would allow a temple and a 92 space parking lot. I say "Why here?" This is a residential area and I want it to stay that way. Respectfully, Trish Anderson mmwv(z~, ef6A ~a y Chav~ 0 0 APPLICANT'S EXHIBITS SUBMITTED AT 6/25/01 PUBLIC HEARING THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT(S) IS A POOR QUALITY ORIGINAL 0 PUBLIC TESTIMONY SUBMITTED AT 6/25/01 PUBLIC HEARING • City of Tigard Planning Department Attn: Kevin Young Ref: BAPS TEMPLE WEST File No: CUP 2000-00004 • J , 2001 The purpose of this letter is to address overall concerns with the proposed temple facility on the comer of SW I I5`h and Tigard streets. We are the neighbors immediately to the east of the property. Most of our concerns have already been expressed in the March 2000 neighborhood meeting, where 100% of the 38 families in attendance voted "no" on the proposal. Those concerns include the following: 1. This is a neighborhood, with no industrial or commercial buildings. 100% housing. 2. Traffic is a major concern, as we have experienced. with the closure of SW Walnut/12111 streets and all traffic detoured through our neighborhood. Our existing streets can't handle what we have. 3. Parking is also a major concern, as the proposal for 92 parking spaces will accommodate the churchgoers for how many years? As all congregations grow, where are the additional cars going to park? Where are cars going to park during the 4-times a year church festivals? There is no on-street parking! ! 4. Overall flooding problems occurred in the neighborhood during the 1996/1997 storms. This was primarily due to development north of us, affecting the flood plain and diverting all water onto my property. We installed over 1000 feet of drain system to handle the run-off. More significant development will cause more run-off problems. Specifically on the proposed property, there is a creek/spring that carries water directly from the north into Tigard Street, causing standing water whenever heavy rains occur. This "creek" is in the middle of the property and has not been addressed in any plans or an environmental assessment. I have spoken to Timothy Turner (TRT Engineering, Inc.) expressing this issue. He has responded that this has not been evaluated as part of the property proposal. This will cause in area flooding and erosion on the proposed structures. This must be addressed and resolved before any approval can be made. 5. Hours of operation - At the March 2000 meeting we had the hours of operation were stated to be 4-6pm on Sundays. We questioned this as no church only operates 2 hours a week. After numerous probing questions; were told the use would be more than 2 hours to include dinners, etc. Now the hours of operation are listed as 4-8pm Sunday, however someone will be living there, so how can they state only 4 hours a week. This brings me to another point of concern, overall honesty and truthfulness from the church leaders and developers. They tried to convince us they were putting all facts on the table, would keep all attendees at the March 2000 meeting informed and would even send us a copy of the March 2000 meeting minutes with the list of attendees. We never received anything in writing, or heard from church or developers until we received this hearing notice in the mail. The proposed building is more than twice the size of the original proposal (1-story to 3-story). They are regularly at the property, but have never said `Hello', waved or anything. Not real caring or considerate neighbors to have if they can't even communicate what is going on. City of Tigard Planning Department Page 2 6. Overall privacy and impact on the neighborhood. The original proposal was for a single story structure, but due to parking requirements (so here we already have parking problems) the structure is now two stories high, with three story towers on the North and South ends. So, we will be seeing a 32-foot high wall when we look out our dining room window, no longer the view to the west and sunsets. In addition, the proposal shows huge lights all over the property, including at least four security lights on the East wall of the structure. These lights will shine directly into bedrooms and living quarters of our house. It will be "daylight" round the clock, again our privacy is gone. Windows are also proposed on the East side, so assume churchgoers will be able to stare down at us any time of the day. No more privacy and quiet neighborhood. I know this is a mute point to the property owners, but this is our home, neighborhood and place we have selected to raise our families. We selected this area due to its neighborhood and family appeal, not an industrial or commercial area. 7. Impact to property values. We know this proposal will severely impact the value of our property, as who would want to purchase a home next door to a 32' high wall? 8. Last but not least, we submitted a request to build a 4-car garage shop on our one-acre lot, but were denied this 1200 square foot structure, as it is detached and zoning does not allow it. This limited us to a 528 square foot building, although we have more than ample property to build larger. Now, a proposal to build a 19,000 square foot building is moving towards approval. Common sense says there is something wrong with this picture. In closing, we, as well as the entire surrounding neighborhood are against this proposal for valid concerns that exist.

Agency staff has conducted a pre-screen review and requested completion of a Sensitive Areas Certification Form. Following Agency review it is apparent that sensitive areas do not exist on-site or within 200' from your project. In light of this result, the above referenced project does not need a Service Provider letter as required by Agency Resolution and Order 00-7, Section 3.02.1. Prior to construction, a Stormwater Connection Permit from the Agency or its designee is required pursuant to Ordinance 27, Section 4.13. All required permits and approvals must be obtained and completed under applicable local, state, and federal law. This concurrence letter does NOT eliminate the need to protect sensitive areas if they are subsequently identified on your site.

Interstate Portland, OR 97217 INTRODUCTION OWNERS: Bochasanwasi Shree Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha-West 6472 Canadan Avenue, Suite 208 San Jose CA, 95120 PO Box 41160, San Jose California 95160 This document is written testimony submitted to the TIGARD HEARINGS OFFICER with regard to the above named conditional use permit. The objective of this testimony is to provide an accurate objective accounting of the events occurring prior to and after the sale of the property at 11435 SW Tigard Street, • Tigard Oregon. Accompanying this response is a request for the owners and the representatives of the City of Tigard to provide written responses to the questions raised in this document and to provide written response to the findings presented at the conclusion of this written testimony This document is submitted by Harry and Jane Massett and Gary and Tonya Borg residents of the neighborhood which be significantly impacted by the conditional use permit for the proposed BAPS Temple. A chronology of the events leading up to the Hearing on June 25, 2001, supporting documents along with a list of neighborhood residents concerns is contained in the following narrative. Spokes persons for the neighborhood will include Tanya Borg, Harry Massett and Larry Anderson. Members of the neighborhood attending this meeting have agreed to yield their time to comment to the spokespersons. • • • • Chronology of Events Prior to March 8`h 2000 October 13, 2000 Tanja Bourge and her husband Gary purchase the property at 11455 SW 115th Street Tigard. Oregon. At that time the seller of the property (who also owned and sold the property at 11435 SW) did not disclose any information regarding the proposed use of the property adjacent to Gary and Tanja's new home. Tanja and Gary have investigated this issue with the aid of legal counsel. It is quite clear that Tanja and Gary have legal grounds to address this issue with the seller of these properties in the form of a "failure to disclose" action. Tanja and Gary have been aware of the impact to their property by the proposed land use change since approximately June 10, 2001. Currently they are reviewing their options. March 8, 2000 - June 21, 2001 March 8 2000 Mary O'dell signs AFFIDAVIT OF MAILING, State of Oregon, • City of Tigard, [see attachment A]. This notarized affidavit states Mary O'Dell has mailed to all persons on the list attached to the affidavit [see attachment B pgs. 1- 6] a notice of a neighborhood meeting. There are 116 names that appear on this list. Mary O'dell is the real estate agent handling the sale of the property. It is unclear for which party she represented. March 22, 2000 A meeting is held at 11435 with 38 neighbors attending. The documentation here is supported by attachment a copy of the minutes taken at the meeting. The neighbors at the beginning of the meeting asked five specific questions. The meeting notes [see attachment C] reflect theses questions were not answered. Mr. Patel representative of the BAPS Temple turned the meeting over to Pete White of EA White construction. Mr. White has been a builder of Temples for the BAPS organization for a number of years. Mr. White stated the property was zoned for conditional use. Concerned neighbors at the meeting did not know the meaning of "zoned for conditional use". Other unanswered questions raised at his meeting by those in attendance were: 1. When is the City going to look at the reviews? 2. Will we (the neighbors) have a chance to attend? another meeting with the city of Tigard? 0 0 0 • meeting was provided to her by City Hall and one compared to company to make sure every one is notified. I'm requesting a documents Mary O'Dell used in her neighborhood notification. a list from a title copy of whatever The following list of questions and concerns can be found in the minutes of the meeting of March 22, 2001. The owner and his agent have never answered these questions asked by neighbors. We respectfully request written responses addressing the content of the questions and concerns presented in this section. 1. What about the safety of neighborhood children is at risk from traffic Generated any time the church is in use? 2. Another neighbor inquired about the issue of the heavy traffic on Scholls Ferry Rd. and SW 121St being diverted through the center of the neighborhood via Summercrest Drive and Tigard St as motorists Avoid the heavy traffic on Scholls Ferry Road. We dispute The traffic impact study provided by the BAPS Temple. On the • based on the following. The times and the days on which the study was conducted does not accurately reflect the reality of the when the multi-use facility will be in use or the number of persons attending activities at the multi- use facility the variety of activities and actual number of festival days observed by this socio-spiritual group presented at the March 22, 2000 meeting does not correspond with the schedules provided from other other BAP socio-spiritual group { see attach. H We are asking for the owner to rectify this oversight and complete another Traffic survey, which is commensurate with the hours of operation reflected by a comparison of comparable Temple sights in the United States [See in Attachments D and E]. I am requesting that the owner Nick Patel provide me with the IRS Tax identification number that the BAP socio-spiritual group does in fact meet criteria for tax-exempt status based on meeting criteria as a religious organization. June 10, 2001 Jane Massett walks to the property at 11435 to read the sign posted at the edge of the property. Jane and Harry decide to follow up with a phone call to investigate the meaning of the proposed land use change. Jane calls on DATE and goes to City hall to get information regarding the land use change. DATE Jane Massett and son Andrew canvass the neighborhood for 2hrs a night . distributing information to the neighborhood. • Harry Jane and Cindy meet with Kevin and Bruce at Tigard City Hall to get additional information regarding the proposed land use change. June 24, 2001 A meeting was held at the residence of Tanja and Gary Bourgue's to invite neighbors to get information about the revised plan (revised from March 22, 2000) Approximately 20-25 persons show up and discuss the issue for 90 minutes. Many questions are raised about how we can prepare for the Hearing at City Hall. Arrangements are made to collect the $1,7000 to pursue an appeal. Serious issues have surfaced regarding the meeting of March 22, 2000. The neighbors had requested copy of those attending the meeting names phone and address. Mary O'Dell passed around a sign up sheet and Mr. White of EA White Construction said members could get a copy of the meeting minutes and who was at the meeting etc. It is clear this was never done. Nick Patel owner attended the meeting and sanctioned the process as the owner and representative of BAP. In the last two weeks I myself and others have interviewed our neighborhood in a fairly thorough fashion. In talking with more than 45-50 including many persons who attended that meeting on 3-22-00 residents no one to date has received a copy of has received a copy of the minute notes from the meeting on March 22, 2000 except for one set of meeting notes and list of persons at the meeting. That would be the City of Tigard where the only such set of documents have been found. First of all we allege Mary O'Dell may have committed purgery herself in signing a sworn statement of mailing notification of the 3/22/00.This concern is based largely on the fact that several neighbors on the mailing list including, myself did not receive any mailing regarding a neighborhood meeting in March of 2000. Printed on the top of the affidavit of mailing appear in small print from a fax machine 03/07/2000 01:29 Mel's motor in page 4. We request the City of Tigard or Mary O'Dell to produce the other pages 1,2,3 and any other documents sent in that fax on that date. We believe there were conflicts of interest with Mary Odell Nick Patel and Pete White being responsible to hold the meeting get names, numbers and, addresses of the attendees and send them out to everyone at the meeting on March 22, 2000. All three of these individuals have interests not in line with the members of the neighborhood. Mr. Nick Patel's interest is the multi-use facility; Mary Odell's interest is monetary commission and Mr. White builds another facility for his cohorts at BAP West and receives considerable financial benefit. Certainly the motivation for contacting other members of the neighborhood after getting • unanimous opposition in the first meeting would seem to diminish efforts at further • notification of the proposed land use change. We allege their may be issues of ethical violations but we also assert that the financial gain incurred by these individuals was sufficient enough to sabotage the processes neighbors would have in opposing the land use change. We also believe the City of Tigard has significant complicity in this matter also. This will not be addressed in this Hearing but will be thoroughly addressed if indeed an appeal on this matter is needed. In light of the fact this project has gone from a one story building at 13,000 sq. ft., an apartment, bookstore, kitchen and dining area and 25 parking spaces to a multi-story multiuse facility of 20,000 sq. ft. with an additional residence built on the property, a library, conference rooms, meeting halls, cafeteria and dinning facilities and any where from 92-106 parking spaces it is time to hold those accountable to the perpetration of this travesty on the taxpayers of our neighborhood. The road to getting the accurate information has been fraught with barriers erected by Tigard City Hall. Misinformation, disinformation and when residents tried to contact their councilman and mayor they are told by receptionists they cannot give input to their city council and mayor. The buck stops here. We have contacted legal counsel. At this writing we have contacted two attorneys. We have received the two following responses from attorneys. One stated there has not been sufficient time to adequately prepared for this hearing and two; the other attorney is considering taking our case but has to review time constraints and business contingencies before he can respond. My view in regard to this multiuse faculty and the proposed land use change is; I say not now, not in this neighborhood and not on my watch. In view of a possible appeal please take this message to the mayor and the Tigard City Council. If you are not able to do a decent job and represent the citizens of the community just remember we'll remember you come time for election. In closing lets reflect on two significant city issues one being the Willamette drinking water issue and A-BOY in downtown Tigard. Both these issue are clear evidence of just how far Tigard City Hall will go to misrepresent its citizens. We are requesting from Nick Patel his IRS tax number that establishes his socio spiritual group as a recognized religion under the Federal Tax Code. We also requester the city planner and engineer impose the conditions of the times of operation of this multi use facility under the conditional use permit as stated in the staff report under Traffic Study findings page 24 paragraph 3 as the conditions the multi-use facility can operate under. I would appreciate all questions asked in this document of Nick Patel and the City of Tigard be responded to in written form. Additionally please review all attachment, documents and photographs.

A list of which is attached. Mary O'Dell opened the meeting by asking everyone to be sure and sign their name and address in the book that was being passed around, and introduced Nick Patel, representative of B.A.P.S. West, Inc. Mr. Patel explained that their organization was proposing to build a church on the property. . He was asked some of the following questions: 1) What does B.A.P.S..stand for? 2) What kind of religion is it? 3) Is it an recognized or isolated religion? 4) How many people are in this organization? 5) Where are the other churches? • Mary stated that this meeting is being held for the purpose of explaining the proposal to build a church, and to answer any questions pertaining to such. Mr. Patel turned the meeting over to Pete White, of E.A. White Construction. He was questioned about if he lived in the area, and what his address was. Mr. White explained stated he had done business with B.A.P.S. West for a number of years, and that this organization has a church in Austin, Texas that is similar to the one proposed to be built on this property.. The concern of the neighbors is traffic and lowering the value of houses in the area. "This is a residential area, and not commercial, and we do not want a church built here", was a statement made. One neighbor stated he did not want to have to sit and look at that church all day long. Mary asked the audience where they thought churches should be built, and the reply was "in commercial areas"; one neighbor stated, "I really don't care, but not here". Mr. White explained this property was zoned conditional use; some did not know the meaning of that, so Mr. White tried to explain by saying if the proposal passed to build the church, the City can dictate sidewalks, widening of the roads, storm drains, and insure that the property permits are received, and the building is built within code. 0 • • PAGE 2 Other questions asked: When is the City going to look at the reviews? Will we have a chance to attend another meeting with the City? The answer was another meeting has not been set with the City as yet, and most likely people will have a chance to attend. A neighbor asked for a show of hands to see how many neighbors opposed the building of the church, and the showing was unanimous. Questions asked next: How many people will the church hold? Answer: They are planning for an attendance of 75-100 people. How many days of the week will the church be used? Answer: Sunday evenings between 4-6 p.m.; 4-5 people come in one car. A concern was that the congregation will grow, as children grow up and have families of their own, so there will be more people attending. Question: Why was this location chosen, there are many more places with open areas to build a church? Answer: A large lot was not needed; looking for something that will hold around 25 cars, and used mostly on Sundays. This is a central location for the congregation. • Concern of neighbor: Kids play in street and with heavy traffic from church, they could get hit by a car. One neighbor stated this was the 4th busiest street in the city for traffic. Concern: This street is too busy already; neighbors do not want to encourage a church. One neighbor explained because traffic was so bad on Scholls Ferry Road, that traffic was diverted to this area; people are wanting speed bumps put in, but the City will not do it, as they are using these streets for their convenience, i.e., firetrucks, etc. to avoid the heavy traffic on Scholls. Mr. White stated that no matter what is built on this property, the City will require sidewalks. He then showed the drawing plans, to show where the church is proposed to sit on the property. One neighbor asked if they could put it as far back off the main street as possible, as to not be too visible from the street. It wa explained by Mr. White there is a criteria on how far back it must be built, and that there would be compliance on landscaping as well. He told the neighbors the size of church was going to be 13,000 sq.ft., or 105x124 ft.- one level with a one bedroom apartment for the priest. The church will seat 165 people comfortably. The question was asked if there would be parties and weddings- held there. The answer was yes, and this was a concern, as it would bring more cars. It was brought up again the concern was that the church would grow, and more traffic would be on the streets. Also, what about over-flow on • the street. "CONCERNS: What about over-flow traffic? Where will the cars park? aoo • lJ ~Rl_~-y PAV t( s5 S w ((3 ~ ~Qw\ .n5s It7-6S sw T;Sard OK. ~a qovyll -&ua ! IT75 6Yl a.~~ Lee 1.1c tryt t / 1$ S. L, .

We are the neighbors immediately to the east of the property. Most of our concerns have already been expressed in the March 2000 neighborhood meeting, where 100% of the 38 families in attendance voted "no" on the proposal. Those concerns include the following: 1. This is a neighborhood, with no industrial or commercial buildings. 100% housing. 2. Traffic is a major concern, as we have experienced with the closure of SW Walnut/121" streets and all traffic detoured through our neighborhood. Our existing streets can't handle what we have. 3. Parking is also a major concern, as the proposal for 92 parking spaces will accommodate the churchgoers for how many years? As all congregations grow, where are the additional cars going to park? Where are cars going to park during the 4-times a year church festivals? There is no on-street parking! ! 4. Overall flooding problems occurred in the neighborhood during the 1996/1997 storms. This was primarily due to development north of us, affecting the flood plain and diverting all water onto my property. We installed over 1000 feet of drain system to handle the run-off. More significant development will cause more run-off • problems. Specifically on the proposed property, there is a creek/spring that carries water directly from the north into Tigard Street, causing standing water whenever heavy rains occur. This "creek" is in the middle of the property and has not been addressed in any plans or an environmental assessment. I have spoken to Timothy Turner (TRT Engineering, Inc.) expressing this issue. He has responded that this has not been evaluated as part of the property proposal. This will cause in area flooding and erosion on the proposed structures. This must be addressed and resolved before any approval can be made. 5. Overall privacy and impact on the neighborhood. The original proposal was for a single story structure, but due to parking requirements (so here we already have parking problems) the structure is now two stories high, with three story towers on the North and South ends. So, we will be seeing 32-foot high wall when we look out our dining room window, no longer the view to the west and sunsets. In addition, the proposal shows huge lights all over the property, including at least four security light on the East wall of the structure. These lights will shine directly into bedrooms and living quarters of our house. It will be "daylight" round the clock, again our privacy is gone. Window3s are also proposed on the East side, so assume church goers will be able to stare down at us any time if the day. No more privacy and quiet neighborhood. I know this is a mute point to the property owners, but this is our home, neighborhood and place we have selected to raise our families. We selected this area due to its neighborhood and family appeal, not an industrial or commercial area. • • • • City of Tigard Planning Department Page2 6. Impact to property values. We know this proposal will severely impact the value of our property, as who would want to purchase a home next door to a 32' high wall? 7. Last but not least, we submitted a request to build a 4-car garage shop on our one-acre lot, but were denied this 1200 square foot structure, as it is detached and zoning does not allow it. This limited us to a 528 square foot building, although we have more than ample property to build larger. Now, a proposal to build a 19,000 square foot building is moving towards approval. Common sense says there is something wrong with this picture. In closing, we, as well as the entire surrounding neighborhood are against this proposal for valid concerns that exist.

In a review of that list my name appears as on of the persons to be notified by mail. I did not receive any notice at that time or since that time. I first became aware of the Temple being . built when my neighbor gave me a copy of the notice of the public hearing that is scheduled on June 25th 2001. 1 am quite concerned that I have not received a notice when my name appears on the list provided by the city of Tigard.

VL r • NOTICE OF IMPORTANT MEETING On Monday June 25th at 7: PM a meeting will be held at the Town Hall of the Tigard Civic Center, 13125 SW Hall Blvd. Tigard. OR. This hearing is to address a conditional use permit # 2000-2004. The parcel of land the hearing applies to is located at the intersection of SW 115th and Tigard Street in Tigard. A large temple complex is proposed at this location. This has profound implications for' the Summer Crest/Burlcrest neighborhood along with the neighborhoods that encompass SW 115thSt, SW 114th ST and. SW 13th ST. The proposed land use change has significant implications to our neighborhood. Decreased property values, increased traffic congestion, safety risks to our children and, threats to diminish the quality of life and livability of our quiet residential neighborhoods. These are the realities if the City of Tigard allows the land use change. This is YOUR OPPORTUNITY to voice your concerns. The proposed land use change will occupy approximately • 20,000 sq. ft. and will rise to over 3 stories tall. The facility will have 90-100 parking spaces. It will house classrooms, a cafeteria, a library and, seating for 150-200 persons. It will be available 365 days and evenings per year and will rent space to others. This project to date has been misrepresented and the extent and impact this facility will have has been minimized. To date no traffic impact study has been required and there's been no effort to determine the nature of the impact of how outdoor lighting will affect neighborhoods and homes. The number of neighborhood residents attending the meeting and public comment opposing the land use change is important. Requesting an appeal will provide additional time for review of how appropriate this land use change really is. Letters and phone calls to Tigard City Hall officials need to be made before the hearing on June 25th. Attached is a list of city officials you can write or call to express your views. Additional questions regarding this issue can be answered by phoning city staff planner Kevin Young at 503-639-4171 Tigard City Hall 13125 SW Hall Tigard, OR.

We ask, "How can you separate the two?" Those who wish to sincerely serve society must be spiritually pure and only those who are spiritually pure can sincerely serve societyl The Bochasanwasi Shree Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS), a socio-spiritual organization with its roots in the Vedas, was revealed by Lord Swaminarayan in the late 18th Century and established in 1907 AD by Swami Yagnapurushdas. Founded on the pillars of practical spirituality, it reaches out far and wide to clear the confusions and questions that crowd the moral, social avid material world of today. Its strength lies in the purity of its nature and purpose. The Sanstha strives to better the world by consolidating character in societies, families and individuals. This is done not just by mottos and slogans but by mass motivation and individual attention, through elevating projects for all, irrespective of class, creed, color and country. The Sanstha's universal work has received many national welfare awards and the affiliation of the United Nations. Its International network has flourished into 6,814 INTERNATIONAL CENTRES • 40,000 youth volunteers.. • 7,000 women volunteers. • 10,721,000 annual volunteer- hours in service. 27 MORAL & CULTURAL ACTIVITIES • 340,000 annual assemblies. • 7 international cultural festivals visited by 32.4 million visitors. • 300,000 students have appeared in the international cultural examinations. 19 MEDICAL ACTIVITIES • 8 hospitals and healthcare centres. • 170,000 patients treated annually. • 59 medico-spiritual conferences have enlightened 14,626 doctors. 22 EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES . 23 permanent educational 14, institutes serve over 6,000 students. • 5,040 scholarships awarded. • 800 education seminars held annually. 21 ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES • 1,200,000 trees planted in 2,170 villages. • 5,475 wells recharged in 338 villages. • 102 check dams, farm ponds, gully pluggings and percolation tanks built. 32 SOCIAL ACTIVITIES • 19 disaster relief operations successfully managed. • 2,639 youth centres. • 1,316 women centres. • 2,859 children centres.

How Festivals Enrich Society : India is a land of a thousand holy festivals and rituals. Its colorful panorama reflect the religion, culture and custom of one of the most ancient and richest of civilizations. Hinduism worships and celebrates the birth and victories of its deities and holy men through festivals and rituals. Through colors, sounds and profound sentiments it elevates and motivates the inner core of individuals. Its festive ambience invigorates and enthuses the individual from the monotony of daily life. This special section provides a window to the history, significance and experience of a selected number of annual festivals, rituals and customs in Indian culture. Like the golden sun, festivals refresh and recharge humanity in more than one way. Esthetically : Festivals are a poetry of arts and crafts, and encourage the latent talents of people. Emotionally : Festivals lend joy and zest to the monotony of life, providing entertainment and enrichment through discourses and seminars, music and melodies, dances and rhythms of a meaningful life. _ Rituals b Chandan andan Adornment Socially : festivals bring man closer to of of Murtis man in peaceful understanding.

TIGARD HEARINGS OFFICER MINUTES DATE: ado a S S 2-i p ~ 300 ti< o6-a=-o 0 0 0 `raja Bourque & Gary June 24, 2001 Tigard Hearings Officer Town Hall of the Tigard Civic Center 13125 SW Hall Boulevard Tigard, Oregon 97223 To Whom It May Concern, 11455 SW 115th Avenue This is the written testimony on the proposed Conditional Use Tigard, OR 97223 Permit (CUP) 2000-00004, BAPS Temple West. tel: 503-684-8551 E-mail: oak.haven@verizon.net History on this case (not mentioned in the Staff Report, by Kevin Young, Associate Planner). 1. Neighborhood Meeting held March 22, 2000. The neighborhood was informed by a mailing March 8, 2000 of a neighborhood meeting to discuss the BAPS Temple West. After much research we have found that not all the persons of the mailing list (enclosed) received that notice and were unaware of the meeting. At this meeting it was explained to residents present that "this property was zoned conditional use" leading them to believe that it was already approved and this was just an informational meeting. A show of hands at this meeting showed unanimous opposition to the temple being built on this property. In this meeting representatives of the temple were asked why this site was chosen. The answer was: "A large lot was not needed; looking for something that will hold around 25 cars, and used mostly on Sundays. This is a central location for the congregation." Another question: How many people will this church hold? Answer: "They are planning for an attendance of 75-100 people." Another question: How many days of the week will the church be used? Answer: "Sunday evenings between 4-6 p.m." Residents were also told that the "church was Ong to be 13,000 sq.ft. or 105X124 ft..-one level with a one bedroom apartment for the priest." Now that plans show 93 parking spaces and accommodate 180 people. Why were the residents so deceived? Why was there not another neighborhood meeting to discuss the change in plans? And why wait over 1 year to submit new "improved" plans to the city? A copy of these minutes have been enclosed. 2. Change in proposed plans This all brings me to the change in plans. Telling a neighborhood one thing, drastically change the plans to something that no one who attended the meeting recognizes. "What will change next?" is the question on the minds of most, what else don't we know, who can the public trust? Yes, "drastic change" is an appropriate term, here is why. 13,000 sq.ft to 19,000 sq.ft to 19,690 sq.ft. One level opposed to two levels with additional towers. 25 parking spaces to 93 parking spaces. 3. Notification of Public Hearing Several of the neighbors here were not notified of either the neighborhood meeting nor the Public Hearing. We understand that the requirements are 500 ft. several of these residents are within that limit. Also many other were on the mailing list, however, still did not receive notification. Also, on the Public Hearing Notice it states "Included in this notice is a list of approval criteria applicable to the request from the Tigard Community development code and the Tigard comprehensive plan. Approval or disapproval of the request by the hearings officer will be based upon these criteria and these criteria only. At the hearing it is important that comments relating to the request pertain specifically to the applicable criteria listed." The only thing listed were community development code chapters, which you then had to print yourself from the web site (if you had access to the internet) or go to city hall and request them where they charge you $0.25 per page. How are residents suppose to follow the rules if they are so hard to get? 4. Phone Conversations, personal meetings and a-mails from concerned residents. , I personally have had many phone conversations and sent e- mail to Kevin Young, Brian Rager, Mike Mills, Bo Poskins, and Nick Patel over the past two week, those however did not get mention in the Staff Report as "Neighborhood Comments". Also I know of at least one meeting that took place between Brian Rager and Kevin Young with members of the community. I have also spoken to many neighbors that have written letters, made phone calls and come into city hall to get information. Enclosed are several of the e-mail conversations with Kevin Young and a list of questions I asked him over the telephone. Many of my questions were not answered during this phone conversation, instead I was referred to other members of the staff and needed to call them myself to get more information. I was even referred to the BA)pcontact person and given his phone nusr. Approval Standards and Conditions of Approval 18.330.030 outlines the criteria used to make a decision. A. 1. The site size and dimensions provide adequate area for the needs of the proposed use; Kevin Young states yes. We state for how long. Congregations grow. Families grow. Families go to church together. What happens when the congregation out grows the church? A. 2. The impacts of the proposed use of the site can be accommodated considering size, shape, location, topography, and natural features. On the site itself, technically, maybe ...but what about the neighborhood, mostly one level ranch style homes. B. 4. We ask you limit the building height due to the afore mentioned concern of the neighborhood "look" and the "deceit" with which this has been handled on many levels. B. 2. We ask you limit the hours, days, place and /or manner of operation. The reasons for this request are: 1. Both the application (information from Kevin Young) and phone conversation with Nick Patel have given the times of facility use as Sundays from 4-8 p.m. and four festivals a year. Therefore, Kevin Young did not feel it necessary to put a condition on use. In our research we have found that all of the other BAPS Temples in the United States are used everyday for various reasons. Enclosed fact sheet on all BAPS Temple in the United States, there locations, activities, daily schedules, weekly schedules, annual festivals and photographs of the buildings if available. We encourage you to look through these and again see the concern of the residents that what is portrayed will change "drastically" in the future. We are also concerned with the proposed rental space. We believe a facility of this magnitude would be rented to both congregation and outside members for various functions, including but not limited to weddings, funerals, youth groups, daycare, play groups etc. The traffic and overflow parking problems of this are a major concern on 115th Avenue and the cul-de-sacs of 114th and 113th place. 115th Avenue is wider to accommodate a bicycle and pedestrian path. This path does not have signs of any type and persons who have been attending the facility on 11435 SW 115th Avenue already use this path for their overflow parking. What happens when there is a wedding that brings in 300 people (many weddings do) will they park in the bicycle and pedestrian path and endanger the public. We ask that as a condition of use you have NO PARKING TOW AWAY ZONE signs installed along 115th. We ask this for the safety of the children who wait in my driveway for the school bus, for the pedestrians taking an evening stroll. I have also acquired information that as of code it is not legal to park in a bicycle lane, but that police do not enforce this, unless signs are posted (information per phone conversation with Mike Mills). Land Use Buffering and Screening: Kevtoung has already recommended severtonditions on the landscaping of this building, however, living directly next to the facility I believe this is not enough. I have discussed this with Kevin over e-mail and have enclosed those e-mails. I believe that the door on the north side of the building is a service entrance (since it comes from the kitchen). Kevin only recommended landscaping changes for the parking areas, and not the service area mention here, we ask that you impose proper screening between the facilities service area and my south property line as stated in 18.745 E. 2. We also feel that privacy is an issue here. The windows and doors of the north side are looking directly into my backyard and there is no fence or screening of any type for this area. Keeping with the topic of fences, I should mention, that no survey of the property has been done and it is our feeling that the plans are drawn using the existing fence. This would not be accurate according to previous surveys of our property. We have, however, not had enough time to research this further and believe if they are using the fence as property boundaries they would run into problem with adequate space. We would preferred this solved before a decision is reached, give the public input in this process. This brings me to 18.330 B.2. which deals with minimizing environmental impacts such as noise, vibration, air pollution, glare, odor and/or dust. The lights of the north side of the building would shine directly into my backyard. The dust and air pollution from the parking lot is directed at all the neighboring fruit trees. The noise pollution from 43 large festivals, which research shows include festival parades would be disturbing to a fairly quiet neighborhood. Odor from the kitchen facility (garbage etc.) would also be a problem for the adjacent neighbors and others (depending on the wind direction). In conclusion I would like to add that the neighborhood and my family are very concerned with the manner in which this issue was treated, for that manner how all these land use proposals are treated. Conditional Use was intended to bring connivence to a neighborhood by bringing in schools and churches where people live, hence reducing traffic and commute time. However, in this case a large number of "neighbors" are concerned with the "inconveniences" rather than rejoicing for the "connivence". We are asking you to look at the neighborhood and the reasons for concern, always holding in the back of your mind the intention of the creation of Conditional Use. Does this facility really enhance the livability, convenience, and quality of life on this street? We the residents of this neighborhood believe it will not, that instead it will create unwanted noise, traffic, and street repairs, not to mention the inconvenience and disruption the construction of such a large facility would cause in an otherwise residential neighborhood. I thank you for your time and hope that you continue to read the enclosed materials to get a better understanding why we, the residents, are concerned with the propose land use on the corner of 115th Avenue and Tigard Street. 0 Gary B rque And the undersigned, i anja tsourque List of question for Kevin Young: 1. What is the height of the 2 story temple and does it met the 20 feet minimum setback, plus the increased setback of five feet for every 10 feet of building height over 45 feet on all sides? 2. What is the "shadow" code in Tigard... How much shadow can a building throw onto another's property blocking the sun? 3. Have you considered the shape of the existing older neighborhood, mostly one-story ranch homes, to the story 19,000 sq. ft Temple? 4. Have you considered the drainage impact that this size structure and the attached parking lot would have on the adjacent properties, which are on septic? 5. Have you studied the impact of a 92 space parking lot on the existing traffic conditions, including, but not limited to, the detours, emergency vehicles (many use it to avoid Scholls Ferry Road), School and city buses? 6. Have you considered what to do about overflow parking? 7. Have you accounted for the light, noise, vibration and air pollution from a 92 space parking lot on the environment and surrounding properties? Many of us have fruit trees and vegetable gardens, how will this effect my apple and pear trees and my grapevines that are directly next to the parking lot? 8. Privacy... how are you planning on dealing with the privacy of the immediate neighbors, the temple looks directly into my backyard and the Anderson's front door? 9. How are you dealing with the historic water flow throughout the area, and how it effects the adjacent properties? We think there might be a small creek that use to run here, the water flows through during the winter months. Call Larry Anderson for more information. 10. What are the codes on light pollution onto your neighbors property and how will that effect me (11455 SW 115th Ave) and the Anderson's (11355 SW 113th PI) when the temple and parking light are on all night? 11. What are the hours of the temples operation and how will the traffic be impacted by such a large facility? 12. What will the temple be used for, other than religious services, and what kind of traffic and noise will this produce? a n [ai- ..I~ a.-.....~ 1........

IVVU II IG~ian IJ `QI wI aIIv l.lau v. c.vvv~ w discuss the increase in the proposed development? And what are the rule as to how much increase there needs to be before the neighborhood is notified? 14. How will the future growth of the congregation impact the noise, parking and traffic patterns? 15. In the minutes of the first meeting (March 8, 2000) it says that the property in question was zoned conditional use. Now on the Public Hearing notice it says that the zoning is R- 4.5: Low Density Residential District. The first meeting made it seem that the property was already approved to build there temple. Why was this said at the meeting and which is correct? Have they already been approve for conditional use or is this still in question? 16. How will the use of a on-site library increase traffic? 17. Why do they need a kitchen and dining facility, will they be bring in people to feed or having a soup kitchen? How will this effect the neighborhood loitering and solicitation? 18. In the minutes of the neighborhood meeting (March 8, 2000) it was asked how many people the church will hold and how many days a week the church will be used? The answer was 75-100 people and Sunday evenings between 4-6 p.m. and 4-5 people come in one car. This would mean the entire facility would only be used 2 hours a week and need to hold 25 cars? So- why do they need 92 parking spaces and classrooms, dining area, kitchen auditorium and a library? And when would these factitious be used and by how many people? 19. What will the auditorium be used for and on what days of the week? Will the use increase the number of people attending? Will it be open to people outside of there congregation, such as plays, wedding, ceremonies, etc.? 20. In the minutes of the neighborhood meeting (March 8, 2000) it was asked why this site was chosen? The answer was "A large lot was not needed; looking for something that will hold around 25 cars, and used mostly on Sundays. This is a central location for the congregation". What has changed the plans so drastically and why was the the neighborhood not notified? 21. In the minutes of the neighborhood meeting (March 8, 2000) it was stated that the size of the church would be 13,000 sq.ft. or 105X124 ft one level with a one bedroom apartment for the priest. What has change and why? And why was the neighborhood not informed? 22. In the minutes of the neighborhood meeting (March 8, 2000) it was stated that "if the proposal passed to build the church, the City can dictate sidewalks, widening of the roads, storm drains, and insure that the property permits are received, and the building is built within code." This is partially turn, but deceiving. There are many more restriction that can be imposed and the citizens also have a right to speak. Now my question: Has the city dictated any such conditions on the proposal? If so what are these conditions and how will they impact the current property owners in the area, imparticular the properties on Tigard Street and 115th Avenue? , evifl Young, 6/22/019:18 AIL-0700, Re: BAPS Notice Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2001 09:18.W-0700 Fran: "Kevin Young" <KMN@ci.tigard.or.us> To: <oak.haven@verizon.net> Subject: Re: BAPS Notice Good morning! You raise a lot of issues here. In regards to the survey, it's my understanding that a survey will be required at some point in the permitting process. Brian Rager is more knowledgeable about this requirement. I think the issues you raise are things that could be communicated to the Hearings Officer at the hearing. I will make sure that he receives copies of these mails as part of the public record. The Hearings officer has the ability to attach conditions to the approval, if he feels that they are warranted by the code criteria. Oak Haven <oak.haven@verizon.net> 06/22/01 12:10AM Good Morning Kevin, I received your staff report from a neighbor this evening and have read it once. I an please to see that you are at least hearing some of our concern. I still don't quite understand why there is no survey and how the plans are to be approve if they or for that matter we don't know where the property lines are drawn. It seems like everyone is assuming that BAPS did their homework and knows. This neighborhood is very friendly and the horses that once live on the property I now own use to graze on the proposed temple site, so the neighbors don't really know what belongs where, and I having so little time could not research all things properly. Also the fence and screening are conditioned only on the parking portion of the site, what about the windows and doors from their North side (facing my south, or backyard) is that fence going to block that (doesn't sound like you are requiring that) view (theirs and mine and the Anderson's front door) from anything. Besides isn't that door considered a service door if it comes from the kitchen and aren't there screening requirements for that as well? The limiting time: You didn't think it was necessary ...so what keeps them from using it everyday for any purpose and renting it out to make back the costs? I know that they don't only have 4 festivals, I believe there are 43 or 44? But you can check here: http://www.swmni.naravan.org/ or here httn://www.swam3maravan.org/festivals/--index.htm or here http•//www swaminaravan orcr/festivals/annualfestivals/index.htm or are they going to celebrate those equally important festivals elsewhere? So we believe it will be used more than it is being stated, beside they have a history of saying one thing and doing another and actions speak louder than words. Which brings me to overflow parking they may have enough parking technically, but what if there's a wedding and 300 people show up and they park in the bike/ped. lane up 115th. Police won't cone, no signs, but code says there is no parking, but the police say "there are no signs". This is my first look at the report. My neighbors and I will be looking at it in more detail in the next few day. Thank you for your help, Tanja Bourque PS Phone conversations don't count for much these days, do they! If I don't speak with you before the weekend have a good one.

I believe there is an existing 4-foot tall chain-link fence separating the development site from your property to the north. I couldn't tell from the street whether it extends all the way along the property boundary, but I bet you know. The applicants do show some type of fencing on their proposed plans, but don't indicate what type of fencing it is. I think that the fence they show is the existing fence. At any rate, a 4-foot tall chain-link fence will not provide adequate buffering as required by code. In the staff report, I recommend that the Hearings Officer require a solid row of hedge plantings along the northern property line (as well as in other areas). This is one of the acceptable buffering options from Table 18.745.2 of the Tigard Development Code. Hope that helps! - Kevin Young Oak Haven <oak.haven@verizon.net> 06/19/01 10:46AM Kevin, Thank you for the information. Another question... sorry... I don't see any kind of fence shown in the plans, but it is really hard to tell. Is there a fence being built to divide the properties and block the sound from their back (I am assuming service door, since the kitchen is right there)? Thank you again for all the work, I just wish I had known about this sooner to have been able to make an educated choice, now I am already in love with the property and reluctant to move (esp. since I am not even finished moving in). Tanja Bourque I received the email you sent regarding the BAPS notice. On the first page of the notice there is a section with the heading, "Applicable Review Criteria." Those are the review criteria applicable to this request. We don't include the full text of the code requirements, as it would be cost-prohibitive to make these copies for everyone within 500 feet of the property. However, the Tigard Development Code is available on-line, at htti3://www.ci.tigard.or.us/Titlel8/`toc.htm I hope this is helpful to you. Please let me know if you have additional concerns. - Kevin Young Printed for Oak Haven <oak.haven@verizon.net> 1 AFFIDAVIT OF MAILING STATE OF OREGON ) City of Tigard ) bei, and ',9P , t caused W have ru'J ted to C'ach ct t'iv rewns on the at`ACh d W ;l, n nDt,cu of n Mceting to diecuss a ~ r~1 nt of (arpnor) - ct-py 0? vAl-'eh rlot.c-ct :~u mares is attac3ze:6 hereto an4 gads a part of Nz aDf t t~ 1~r st~r~ t eat SaA ¢tOliWS ti:Llre er cl;Dt;at~ fn ej~velupes plainly addles,,;kid to paid pirwi n5 and were depo3:led are th d Indklatc obove ~ ltte Unled State yPost v,- &7 (,,~(47#+ eK C2 EdG?~Gc J7 1 ;.toBJ n %.7.i r;~ql, , o psepatd them on. 41115 SECTTI®ti MR A StATF Of O fGON, NO rAKY PUBLIC TO COMPI fl6NOTAOMM Bbd IL4 Q ~~t'r ed tt°ttt ~-wn,n6P~tfifmcd baear eta d$te day of It L s'MNMrE,'Z covvissic i PWS AP R is t !

A list of which is attached. Mary O'Dell opened the meeting by asking everyone to be sure and sign their name and address in the book that was being passed around, and introduced Nick Patel, representative of B.A.P.S. West, Inc. Mr. Patel explained that their organization was proposing to build a church on the property. He was asked some of the following questions: 1) What does B.A.P.S. stand for? 2) What kind of religion is it? 3) Is it an recognized or isolated religion? 4) How many people are in this organization? 5) Where are the other churches? Mary stated that this meeting is being held for the purpose of explaining the proposal to build a church, and to answer any questions pertaining to such. Mr. Patel turned the meeting over to Pete White, of E. A. White Construction. He was questioned about if he lived in the area, and what his address was. Mr. White explained stated he had done business with B.A.P.S. West for a number of years, and that this organization has a church in Austin, Texas that is similar to the one proposed to be built on this property.. The concern of the neighbors is traffic and lowering the value of houses in the area. "This is a residential area, and not commercial, and we do not want a church built here", was a statement made. One neighbor stated he did not want to have to sit and look at that church all day long. Mary asked the audience where they thought churches should be built, and the reply was "in commercial areas"; one neighbor stated, "I really don't care, but not here". Mr. White explained this property was zoned conditional use; some did not know the meaning of that, so Mr. White tried to explain by saying if the proposal passed to build the church, the City can dictate sidewalks, widening of the roads, storm drains, and insure that the property permits are received, and the building is built within code. 0 0 PAGE 2 Other questions asked: When is the City going to look at the reviews? Will we have a chance to attend another meeting with the City? The answer was another meeting has not been set with the City as yet, and most likely people will have a chance to attend. A neighbor asked for a show of hands to see how many neighbors opposed the building of the church, and the showing was unanimous. Questions asked next: How many people will the church hold? Answer: They are planning for an attendance of 75-100 people. How many days of the week will the church be used? Answer: Sunday evenings between 4-6 p.m.; 4-5 people come in one car. A concern was that the congregation will grow, as children grow up and have families of their own, so there will be more people attending. Question: Why was this location chosen, there are many more places with open areas to build a church? Answer: A large lot was not needed; looking for something that will hold around 25 cars, and used mostly on Sundays. This is a central location for the congregation. Concern of neighbor: Kids play in street and with heavy traffic from church, they could get hit by a car. One neighbor stated this was the 4th busiest street in the city for traffic. Concern: This street is too busy already; neighbors do not want to encourage a church. One neighbor explained because traffic was so bad on Scholls Ferry Road, that traffic was diverted to this area; people are wanting speed bumps put in, but the City wi11 not do it, as they are using these streets for their convenience, i.e., firetrucks, etc. to avoid the heavy traffic on Scholls. Mr. White stated that no matter what is built on this property, the City will require sidewalks. He then showed the drawing plans, to show where the church is proposed to sit on the property. One neighbor asked if they could put it as far back off the main street as possible, as to not be too visible from the street. It wa explained by Mr. White there is a criteria on how far back it must be built, and that there would be compliance on landscaping as well. He told the neighbors the size of church was going to be 13,000 sq.ft., or 105x124 ft.- one level with a one bedroom apartment for the priest. The church will seat 165 people comfortably. The question was asked if there would be parties and weddings- held there. The answer was yes, and this was a concern, as it would bring more cars. It was brought up again the concern was that the church would grow, and more traffic would be on the streets. Also, what about over-flow on the street. "CONCERNS: What about over-flow traffic? Where will the cars park? • PAGE 3 • A neighbor complained she is getting run-off now, and what will happen when the church is built; are they going to bring in more dirt to prevent a drainage problem? One neighbor stated that she would start a neighborhood committee to propose to the City of Tigard to buy this property and build a park here for their children. A concern was if the property was zoned to build apartments here, or how many houses could be put on the property if a developer came in. Mr. White thought it was zoned R-4-5. Question: If the owner could not parcel off this land, how come these people can? Answer was not that they couldn't, they chose not to. Is the house and lot going to be sold or kept? Answer: 100 members of this church are donating 1 million dollars to build the church; if they cannot build it for that, they might have to sell the house and extra lot to make up the difference. That decision has not been made yet. Question: Where is the entrance to the church going to be? Answer: on 114th Tigard, City requirement - they do not want an entrance on 115th. Mr. White explained that the City will require that a turn-around driveway be installed at this house to avoid backing onto 115th. Question was asked if they could have: names, addresses, and phone numbers of those attending meeting tonight, can they have copy of these minutes. Will they be notified of meeting with City so they can attend? A couple neighbors stated they did not receive notice of meeting; Mary explained that the list was given by City Hall, and compared by one from Title Company to make sure everyone was notified.. Mr. White stated they could be mailed copy of minutes with everyone's name, address and phone numbers. Meeting adjourned. S lJ A(" P4V Sow- 1 l~ ss S w ( (3 ~)au,\ /1 7- 6 T;Sa rd .

The topic addressed in this conversation was the neighborhood meeting held on March 22, 2000. Mr. Patel described the atmosphere of that meeting as neighbors attending the meeting were hostile and angry when Mr. Patel presented the proposed facility at 11435 SW 115th . Mr. Patel stated he was not prepared for this occurrence since he wanted to share the good news regarding the building of the Temple. He shared with me that as he presented the project neighbors at the meeting became increasingly hostile. He stated he was so concerned at that time he said he adjourned the meeting fairly abruptly because he felt the meeting was going so poorly. It is my contention that the neighborhood meeting of 3/22/00 did not fully inform neighbors at this meeting what the property was going to be used for. This neighborhood meeting was held to fully inform neighbors of the development and was not done. For the record in the materials submitted by this writer on 6/25/01 at the hearing reflected all 38 .neighbors at the meeting of 3/22/00 had objections to the development. In addition Mary O'Dell (realator) and the builder Pete White assured neighbors they would provide names, address and phone numbers of neighbors at the meeting. It is clear the neighbors at the meeting were depending on the alleged list so they could contact one another. This was because neighbors at the 3/22/00 did not all know one another and neighbors at that meeting voiced concern that they had not received notification of the meeting. This is not conjecture or hearsay as the meeting of the minutes acquired from the City of Tigard document the statements presented here. It is crystal clear that Mr. Patel, Mary Odell and Pete White of White Construction had reasons to not provide any list of names, phone numbers and addresses of the persons at the 3/22/00 meeting because of the solidarity of opposition for the proposed Temple. The notification of neighbors to the proposed land use change is relevant to the process required in the Land Use Change Process. The City of Tigard is the governmental agency which oversees the CUP process and is the entity given the charge to conduct traffic studies, hearings, recording testimony both written and oral, environmental impact and, notification of residents of the neighborhood. If the City of Tigard fails to ensure any aspect of the process residents of the neighborhood are deprived of their Constitutional Right of Due Process. This allegation is supported by the contention that the City ."14 • of Tigard has significant interests in development of the city of Tigard streets, businesses and utilities. The City of Tigard by virtue of giving the ok for the CUP in allowing the site at. 11435 SW 115th receives substantial assistance from Nick Patel and the BAPS Temple putting in new sewer and storm drains, street improvements, sidewalks, lighting and landscaping. Clearly these developments serve the City of Tigard in their plans to make further street improvements etc. etc. The City of Tigard will benefit from ruling in favor of a development discussed at the 6/25/01 Hearing at City Hall. In a review of the audiotapes of this Hearing not one city resident of the neighborhoods affected by this development supported the land use change. I contend that the City of Tigard will benefit monetarily and sets a foundation for other unwanted development that impacts this city neighborhood. From what I can tell the City of Tigard and residents of the neighborhood impacted by the passing of the land use change continue to be a part of the Democratic Republic we know as the United States of America and are, governed by the Constitution. Due Process is a fundamental right provided in the Bill of Rights. Our neighborhood residents have been clear in opposing this project. The dialogue regarding city codes in this writers view are indeed a necessary exercise although miss some salient aspects of neighborhood concerns. Let us not become so myopic that we miss the larger issues of constitutional rights. Attached please find a list of persons living within 500 ft. of the proposed development who did not receive notification from anyone about the proposed list. These names were gathered at a neighborhood meeting on June 23, 2001.

When the proponent for the BPS Temple was introducing the "Who We Are" I believe you said that it wasn't relevant. But from what I heard, it said it all. Are they not willing to live up to their own stated purpose, Bringing peace and harmony to mankind? Had they been interested, they would have worked with the community. No religion has done more in suppressing human rights and ignored suffering as has Hinduism. The caste system is the result of their beliefs. The public record is testimony they have not been up front with the community. When it came to the building design, parking, even the number of people per car, the community was not considered nor told the full scale of what was involved. In some religions, if you are of lower status, and especially if you are not of the same religion, its not considered lying if you don't tell the truth because the person you are speaking to is not worthy of it. Some religions will not tell you what goes on within there ceremonies (for good reason in some cases). The opening words of the spokesman for the Temple seemed to proved this. If they built 3 or 4 smaller buildings they could have a very attractive complex that would fit in with the neighborhood. I and I believe most everyone else would be willing to work with them if they were interested in living up to their purpose. Freedom of Religion is not being denied, but it seems that the will of a community is being ignored by the very ones who are responsible to watch over it and there welfare. When the City officials saw the plans for the Temple, they should have immediately said, "Not that Big". This shouldn't be a matter of whether you can do something because the government says you can but whether you should do it as it would detract from the natural beauty of a neighborhood. When you look at their site plan, the building may only be 30-32 feet. But 10 yards across the street it is now about 45 feet. I live in the second house from the corner right across the street. From my yard the proposed Temple is closer to 45 feet than 30 feet. John, the man who lives on 116th and said they would be looking right into his bedroom window was not making it up. His backyard is juxtaposed next to mine with a 6 foot privacy fence and our house, as close as it is to Johns, is still high enough to see over it. • You can stand on the sidewalk on Tigard road and look down into peoples yards. • Should people be denied their right to privacy and pursuit of happiness so others can express their freedom of The traffic report stated they would travel to the Temple with an average of 4.5 passengers per vehicle. Unless 50% or more have vans that seat 7 or more (which is unlikely), why not state reality? There putting in 92 parking spots. Why not state 1.75 people per vehicle? I believe this goes back to whether we're worthy of having accurate knowledge. • As they grow will they double and triple their meetings which will double and triple the traffic and meeting times? • How many variances will they be granted after the building is up if it goes up? • Is the money generated from their rental and catering business taxable? If I understood the terms of renting their facilities, the 6000 sq.ft. non-designated space is what will be rented out. Add to this, having to hire their catering service, and that can generate a lot of capital. If my wife gave me and my friends a bill at the end of each meal to pay for her time and expenses I'm running a restaurant. What's the difference?

BAPS West, Inc. Federal Tax ID Number is 11 -3428571 2. This being a neighborhood, with no industrial or commercial buildings. We will do as much as we can to accommodate the temple facility to the natural features of the neighborhood. Attached you will find further information regarding the architectural design submitted by Rocky Towle. 3. Notification of Meeting was sent to all neighbors. Attached is a letter from Mary Odell that will go into the details. 4. There is no "creek" in the middle of the property. Attached is a letter from the Unified Sewerage Agency of Washington County stating that sensitive areas do not exist on-site or within 200' from the project. 5. Hours of operation: The only evening there will be an assembly scheduled will be on every Sunday from 4pm to 8pm. By studying the different temple printouts you will be able to see that the BAPS Temples are generally used for Sunday Assemblies from about 4pm to 8pm. There are many festivals in the Swaminarayan Hindu Religion. BAPS Portland only celebrates the four major ones with a special festival specific event inviting other people from the Indian community. These four major festivals are: 1. April Hari-Nom: The birthdays of Lord Swaminarayan 2. August Janmashtami: The birthday of Lord Krishna. 3. November Diwali: Diwali symbolizes the victory of Good over Evil. 4. December Pramukh Swami Maharaj's Jayanti: The birthday of Pramukh Swami Maharaj. These four major festivals will be held on either Saturday or Sunday depending circumstances. Attached you will find a traffic impact study on Saturdays. According to the study there will be no major impact of traffic on Saturdays. There are many other festivals in the Swaminarayan Hindu Religion but they are incorporated in the weekly Sunday assemblies not only in Tigard, but all BAPS Temples throughout the country. Due to circumstances, members work on the weekdays and aren't able to get days off from work. Different BAPS Temples celebrate different annual festivals or no annual festivals at all. 5205 N.

Items noted during the meeting of architectural concern are: 1. Exterior lighting- All lighting will be engineered and the exterior lighting will be designed so that it minimizes the amount of light that reflects/shines into any the adjacent properties. A maximum of 1 foot-candle would be a requirement that should be satisfactory to the adjacent property owners. 2. The Temple will meet all building and fire codes, ADA requirements and all requirements set forth by this hearing. 3. No windows will be located on the 2nd floor of the North, West or East elevations of the Temple. 4. Part of the submittal for the building permit will be the property survey and grading and drainage plans. The survey will be done and if there is any adjustment to fence lines and the landscaping design submitted we will work with the adjacent neighbors to resolve any issues concerning the location of the property line or fence. Before a building permit can be issued an approved grading and drainage plan is required. 5. Designing the lowest possible roof line in conjunction with keeping the architectural character of the building, using colors to blend with the surrounding neighborhood, and using the site grading will bring the building into scale with the neighborhood are 3 elements used to minimize the impact of the Temple for the site. 6. Landscaping adjacent to the building and to the property line on the North and West will be redesigned to minimize the neighbors concern for both the size of the Temple and the access doors on the North and East sides. These doors will be used mainly for fire exiting. The main doors used for access during services and activities will be the doors adjacent to the parking lot on the South and West sides. 7. The conditional use application only allows for 93 parking stalls and 180 people at any one time with no overflow parking allowed in the streets. Any expansion beyond this requires resubmitted and approval or relocation to another site of sufficient size for any expansion. 9SSS-ESE (602) S31oan0SEIH WS I S3a d66:-1,0 To 20 T nr J u~0 2' 401 04: 19P u~ ~o co 0 0 ui En 0 M co W Q 0 0 M 0 N N N 6" U CD f r Q L cc N co Cj L O 9n CU CM t~ N D D 4 IGN RESOURCES (2008) 343-5556 We have worked with Kevin Young and Karen Fox at City of Tigard Planning Division to incorporate as many applicable approval standards as we were directed to.

As a final note, I have know the Patels for several years. They are very honest and sincere people. Since there are numerous churches in neighborhoods such as this throughout Oregon, as a Realtor when we were looking for property for them to build a Temple, we felt this was a good location, and since there is a church right around the corner on Dakota, we did not think there would be a proble. That church is not set back very far on the property line, when these neighbors are proposing; it is not "HIDDEN FROM VIEW, SO NO ONE HAS U02~2001 10:53 5032567 MARY PAGE 02 page 2 TO LOOK AT IT EVERYDAY", as proposed int he meetings, and it does not have very much landscaping around it. When I called a few of the neighbors two weeks ago, to see if they had any further questions/ comments on the meeting of the 25th, the feeling l felt was it was still a prejudice thing, instead of it being a church thing. As you can see from the minutes of the meeting, I had to remind the attendees that this was not a time to question religion, etc., but to ask questions about what was being built, and if there was a legitimate reason it shouldn't be built. A few of the residents who attended the meeting, and that I called two weeks ago expressed the same sentiments - they felt some of the people were making this into a racist thing, and digging for other reasons to stop it. All these people want is a place to worship the way they choose - isn't that what our Constitution of the United States teaches us? Freedom of worship, and freedom of speech? They would not ruin the neighborhood, but actually do lots of good deeds to help it, as well as the neighbors. They do not drink, do drugs, practice any immoral things, so why would this hull a neighborhood? I do trust you will make the right decision in their favor.

Prior to this detour, construction at the intersection of Walnut Street and Tiedeman may have also resulted in increased traffic on Tigard Street. City staff has indicated that construction should be completed in mid July of this year, at which time traffic volumes will return to previous levels. Testimony at the hearing hinted that some of the detour traffic will continue to use Tigard Street. In fact, the recent intersection improvements along Walnut Street should make that route more attractive. The intersection of Tigard Street with SW 115` Avenue is only stop controlled on the west approach, with yield signs on the east and north approaches. This control is confusing for many drivers. The accident data available from the City indicates only one accident occurred at this intersection in the last three years. The accident occurred on the snow when one driver made a wide right turn, striking a second vehicle at the intersection. We would be agreeable to installing stop signs at this intersection to make it safer, and to slow traffic. With development of the B.A.P.S. Temple, Tigard Street and SW 115'" Avenue will be widened to City Collector Roadway standards, to include bike lanes and sidewalks. The sidewalks will provide a safer area for neighbors to walk, as well as providing areas for children to wait for school buses. A speed survey conducted by Traffic Smithy on Tigard Street between SW 113`h and SW 11.4' Avenues indicates the 85'h percentile speed is approximately 35 mph. The survey was conducted in April 2000. These speeds are consistent with a collector roadway, but the posted speed on Tigard Street is 25mph. Speeding along Tigard Street is an existing problem, which will not be impacted by the proposed temple. Further, adequate sight distance is available from the proposed access opposite SW 114`h Avenue based on a 35 mph travel speed. The proposed temple access is located on Tigard Street, opposite SW 114th Avenue. The City of Tigard has requested the access beat this location. The site does not have sufficient frontage on SW 115` Avenue for an access to that street- Locating the access opposite an existing street will minimize turning movement conflicts and minimize the number of access locations on Tigard Street, a collector road. The traffic study addressed impacts of the site on a Sunday evening, when the temple services will occur. The City of Tigard concurred with this analysis. Only a few trips are anticipated from the site during weekdays, mostly due to the caretaker apartment. Development of the site as residential would result in more weekday trips that the temple. The site trips on Sunday occur at a time when traffic volumes in the area are low. Specifically, volumes on Tigard Street during the weekday PM peak hour are twice as high as the peak hour on Sunday afternoon. The analysis shows that all intersections in the study area will operate at acceptable levels of service with the addition of the temple traffic on Sunday. Some of the intersection may be failing during the weekday peak hours, but the temple will have very little impact during these times. Tigard Street is classified at a collector roadway by the City of Tigard. A collector road is designed to have a daily traffic volume of 500-3000. On a weekday, the volume is approximately 2700 vehicles, compared to 1682 on Saturday and 1326 on Sunday. The temple will add approximately 10 trips on weekdays and up to 230 trips on a Sunday and event Saturday. Tigard Street will stay below 3000 daily trips with the addition of temple traffic.

Group Mackenzie, Incorporated The intersection of Tigard Street with SW 115`'' Avenue is only stop controlled on the west Architecture I approach, with yield signs on the east and north approaches. This control is confusing for many Interior Design drivers. The accident data available from the City indicates only one accident occurred at this Land Use Planning I intersection in the last three years.

Speeding along Tigard Street is an existing problem, which will not be impacted by the proposed temple. Further, adequate sight distance is available from the proposed access opposite SW 114`' Avenue based on a 35 mph travel speed. The proposed Temple access is located on Tigard Street, opposite SW 114`' Avenue. The City of Tigard has requested the access be at this location. The site does not have sufficient frontage on SW 115`' Avenue for an access to that street. Locating the access opposite an existing street will minimize turning movement conflicts and minimize the number of access locations on Tigard Street, a collector road. The traffic study addressed impacts of the site on a Sunday evening, when the temple services will occur. The City of Tigard concurred with this analysis. Only a few trips are anticipated from the site during weekdays, mostly due to the caretaker apartment. Development of the site as residential would result in more weekday trips than the Temple. The site trips on Sunday occur at a time when traffic volumes in the area are low. Specifically, volumes on Tigard Street during the weekday PM peak hour are twice as high as the peak hour on Sunday afternoon. The analysis shows that all intersections in the study area will operate at acceptable levels of service with the addition of the Temple traffic on Sunday. Some of the intersection may be failing during the weekday peak hours, but the Temple will have very little impact during these times. Tigard Street is classified at a collector roadway by the City of Tigard. A collector road is designed to have a daily traffic volume of 500-3,000. On a weekday, the volume is approximately 2,700 vehicles, compared to 1,682 on Saturday and 1,326 on Sunday. The Temple will add approximately 10 trips on weekdays and up to 230 trips on a Sunday and event Saturday. Tigard Street will stay below 3,000 daily trips with the addition of Temple traffic. SATURDAY IMPACTS The B.A.P.S. Temple will occasionally have special events on Saturdays scheduled between the hours of 4:00 pm and 8:00 pm, with all attendees leaving the site by 10:00 pm. The maximum number of attendees will be 180, and the trip generation characteristics are anticipated to be similar to a Sunday event. Due to time constraints in preparing this analysis, as well as impacts to traffic volumes with the current detour around the intersection of Walnut Street with SW 1215` Avenue, new counts could not be conducted on a Saturday. Traffic counts from the original study were utilized for this analysis. Daily traffic volumes were collected by Traffic Smithy for the original study on Saturday, April 8, 2000. The total 24-hour volume in both directions on SW Tigard Street on a Saturday was 1,682 vehicles and the peak hour occurred between 4:00 and 5:00 p.m. with a volume of 140 vehicles. The proposed site event volume was added to existing Saturday volumes to achieve total future volumes, congruent with the TIA. Table 1 below shows the site traffic will be greatest approximately between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m., but during that time the total volume would be less HAPROJECTS\000113\WP\I F29L1 sk.wpd 0 0 Larry Epstein Project #000133 July 29, 2001 Page 3 than the peak hour volume and site traffic. Because of these findings, analysis of the Saturday volumes concentrated on the roadway peak hour. Table 1 - Traffic Volume Saturday Peak PM Hour Tigard St Volume Proposed Site Event Volume Roadway + Site 3:00-4:00 115 9 124 4:00-5:00 140 32 172 5:00-6:00 127 18 145 6:00-7:00 98 14 112 7:00-8:00 86 49 135 8:00-9:00 70 14 84 Turning volume counts were collected only on Sunday for the TIA, so an adjustment was made to account for the Saturday peak hour turning movements at the study area intersections. Saturday volumes during the peak hour of Tigard Street are approximately 19% higher than Sunday's peak hour volume. Therefore, the Sunday peak hour turning movement counts were increased 19% to estimate Saturday turning volumes. The Saturday peak hour turning volumes are presented in Figure A. Trip generation for Sunday utilized a trip survey of the existing Sunday service, which included 60 attendees. The following table presents that trip survey, as well as the trip generation for a Saturday event with the maximum of 180 attendees.

I believe that this document submitted does not address may of the question ask at the meeting or in written testimony, in fact it creates more questions and confusion. 1. Hours of Operation, a concern of the immediate neighbors, including myself. We have over the last three weeks been lead to believe, even after must questioning that the hours of operation would be only Sundays from 4-8 PM and on the 4 major holidays. Now that we, the neighbors, have done much research and ask more pointed question and are requesting conditions on the hours and manner of use, they are submitting a daily schedule from 7 am to 12 pm and from 4pm to 8:30pm. When I spoke to Nick Patel directly, in the two weeks prior to the hearing, he assured me of the hours of operation as being Sunday from 4-8 PM and the 4 holidays and went as far as to say they would be fine with a condition being placed as such. Kevin Young also gave the hours of operation as 4-8 PM Sundays and 4 major holidays and did not put conditions on the hours of operation due to the limited use planned, leaving it open for them to use the facility 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I still respectful ask that you consider placing conditions on the hours of operation since they are building in a strictly residential neighborhood with small children. If they will be using the facility during the week days, I believe that the traffic study done 13 months prior to application is invalid. Group Meckenzie representative at the Hearing himself stated (while answering questions) that if the study were done of Thursdays or Fridays he's was not sure how it would be, since those days already have much traffic. There is no study of any kind to show the impact of potentially 180 people or 90 cars between 7 am and 12 pm and 4 pm and 8:30 pm Monday-Saturday. 2. Lighting I feel that they "will do as much as we can to keep the building lights and parking lights at the lowest levels possible" is not a concrete enough statement. With the history in mind, I respectful request that you consider placing a condition of use as to the levels of lighting, that is measurable and enforceable, to maintain the privacy of the immediate neighbors. The 1 foot- candle maximum would be acceptable. 3. Rental Space: There was no answer to the question asked, if the caretaker were a family, would they build a larger apartment in the building or use the existing home as the main residence. Only a question, since the application is for a one bedroom apartment with a small living space, which face my south property line. 4. Land Use Buffering and Screening: I would like to see the new plans that will provide screening between my backyard and the temples back entrance (I would consider it an exit/entrance since there are sidewalks, etc.), so that I can determine the addition screening I will need to provide myself (which I would never do with neighboring families because I would get to know them, but the facility is a public facility, hence they are strangers to me and my children) appropriate privacy. I would like to see them be respectful enough to understand this and continue the same screening as is require of them for the parking areas, since I still believe that door to be a service door and area, it difficult to tell in the drawings how it will eventually be used. 5. Overflow parking. What about the 6000 sq.ft. of "undefined space" on the second floor. No one has disclosed if this is a possible expansion. That is 30% of the entire building is going to be "unused", that is 61% of the second floor that is causing much of the concern of the neighborhood. If this is expanded then would there not be issues with parking code and overflow parking. I respectfully request a condition of use be the installation of No Parking Signs in the bicycle and pedestrian lanes on 115th Avenue, to ensure the No Parking Law in bicycle/pedestrian lanes is being followed and enforced. Parking next to my driveway occurred every Sunday and Wednesday from the existing home BAPS owns, until this week, causing blind spots for people entering or exiting my driveway. 6. This is in response to Mary O'Dell's written statement, I was incredible offend by the accusations made by Mary O'Dell from Re/Max Equity Group. Her testimony did not address any of the issue relevant to this case and were offensive. I was not at the meeting in March, because I did not own this property at the time (I was also never told about it during the time of sale or there after, until the Hearing Notice), and do not feel she had the right to accuse me of being prejudice and throwing around "Freedom of Worship". She does not know me or my neighbors. She also does not realize the many different religions and cultures are in this neighborhood working together, or she would not have made those statements. But to respond to her accusations, since I feel I must "defend" myself, this has NOTHING to do with religion (or culture) and no one is questioning the morals of the members of the religion, this has to do with a 19,680 sq.ft building that will be open to the public and use for various functions all hours of the day in a strictly residential neighborhood. It has to do with privacy, • traffic and the preservation of a residential neighborhood. I have never once brought religion into this, since I do believe in freedom of worship (for many personal reason as well as moral reasons) and have been on the receiving end of "true prejudice". So- before throwing stones, one should know the facts. 7. Beyond that I still feel like many of our previous questions had not been answered and are still available in our written statements submitted the night of the hearing.

Temple West on July 2, 2001. There are four concerns I would like to address. 1. The BAPS Temple has now changed their hours of operation to include 7- 10 AM daily, as well as the Sunday time and four annual holiday times. This question of hours of operation has been raised repeatedly and we have been told Sunday only. Now we are informed it will be open an additional four hours a day, This changes the conditional use requirements initially proposed and changes traffic impact. 2. To date no current traffic impact study has been completed. The traffic study presented by BAPS is an extrapolation on information from 2000. A new traffic impact study should be completed due to change in hours by BAPS and since the construction project on Walnut has been completed. 3. The response letter from Mary O'Dell was totally inappropriate. This is not a "racial" or religious issue. This is an issue of quality of life for the neighbors who live in the area near the proposed temple. One of the reasons that people in the neighborhood are upset is we have not been given timely or accurate notification and information. From the minutes of the: March 2000 neighborhood meeting, it was offered that minutes from the minutes from the meeting would be sent to the neighbors at the meeting. The meeting's minutes were never sent the neighbors that attended that meeting. This has only served to make many of us mistrustful, especially since the original plans from Morch.2000 are now very different than what was originally proposed.

Clearly, Mr. and Mrs. O'Dell are not interested in improving relations by these kinds of behaviors. 4. Z am concerned with the conditional use process. In my opinion it serves the community poorly and does not consider the needs or concerns of the neighborhood.

Our biggest concern is the fact that 6,000 square feet of the building is still "undefined." It was our understanding at the public hearing that you wanted the applicant in their submitted response to clearly define that 6,000 square feet of space. Nowhere in the documents submitted was this issue even addressed. In item #2 of Mr. Patel's written testimony he states that "we will do as much as we can to accommodate the temple facility to the natural features of the neighborhood." In item #5 of Mr. Towle's written testimony he indicates that they are "designing the lowest possible roof line." If you are unable to define what a specific area of space will be used for then it would seem to me it must not be necessary space in order to operate your facility as required. It would seem to us then that removing this space that serves no real purpose would allow for the "lowest possible roof line" discussed by Mr. Towle. In addition, removing the undefined space would make the building that much smaller which would in turn help in accommodating the facility to the "natural features of the neighborhood" as discussed by Mr. Patel. In item #7 of Mr. Towle's written testimony he refers to the "180+1 " people that may be using the facility at one time. That "180+" is exactly what we are worried about. What is to prevent these people from developing that 6,000 square feet of space internally to accommodate more seating and classrooms allowing for additional people? We realize that if they expand that facility from the outside the plans would need to be resubmitted for approval, however any internal changes are not going to require anyone's approval. We also realize that if they do allow more than the 180 people to be in the meeting they will be exceeding the amount allowed by code. They will also no longer fit in the parking lot and the chances of the overflow coming in to our neighborhood is very strong. It then will become our responsibility to notify the city of the problem and to continue to do so until something is done about the issue. How long will it then take before something is done about the crowds? I can't imagine why a building of this size is necessary if the congregation that will use it on a regular basis is only 50-70 people. The numbers just aren't adding up. No one would spend the extra money it costs for each square foot if they had no intent of using the space. That 6,000 square feet has to serve some purpose whether it be current or something planned for the future. With a big, new facility of this size I can't imagine that it will not draw more people to it than is currently projected. Why else would you need that much space? Another concern we have is that the fact of the hours of operation keep changing and increasing. In the original testimony it was said that the facility would only be operating from 48 p.m. on Sundays with four additional festivals. In section #5 of Mr., Patel's testimony it now talks about daily "Aarti times" and daily "Darshan times." I am quite certain these are not newly added services by this religion. Why were these times not mentioned in earlier communication? What other times have we not been completely made aware of? Living directly across the street from the house the applicants are currently meeting in, we are able to see them coming and going. They currently arrive at the facility at approximately 10:00 am on Sundays. Is this part of their service being eliminated once the new facility is built ? Why if the members will only be coming on Sundays at 4:00 p.m. are they currently their on Sundays at 10:00 am? We also have some serious concern about the amount of traffic this will add to our tiny and very congested street. We have been in contact with Mike Mills of the City of Tigard who is in charge of the speed bump program. He recently did a survey of the traffic coming and going on SW 115`s. It was our understanding that his study showed enough traffic going at an excessive enough speed to warrant speed bumps along SW 115 h. Unfortunately the funding for the speed bumps has already been allotted for this fiscal year so it will be another year before we can get those placed on our street. According to the report from Group Mackenzie the traffic study was done on a Saturday back in April of 2000. We are now in the year 2001. It would seem in everyone's best interest that an up to date traffic study be conducted, especially now that the intersection of Walnut and 121` opened again this past week. That traffic had been detoured through our neighborhood. Prior to that, the intersection for Tiedeman and Walnut was closed for improvements, and yet again traffic was detoured through our neighborhood. Obviously our neighborhood is a logical route for people to use when other streets are not available and wilt continue to be so. Those who were not aware of the route prior to the detour may continue to use our neighborhood as it turned out to be a faster way to their destination. Now we are going to add additional traffic to the already congested streets and a current traffic study is not available. The request to have another traffic study completed and conducted both on a Saturday and another weekday, as the facility it now appears will be available to its members every day of the week, seems like a very reasonable and logical request. In the report supplied by Group Mackenzie it was documented that Tigard Street and SW 1151, Avenue will be widened and include bike lanes and sidewalks. It is my understanding that this will be done at the expense of the applicant and not the be the responsibility of the neighbors. Is this correct? In the letter submitted by Ms. O'Dell she talks about how this facility "would not ruin the neighborhood, but actually do a lot of good deeds to help it, as well as the neighbors." As mentioned above, we live directly across from the house that is currently being used for services. In the time that this group has owned the property the entire grounds surrounding this property have become very overgrown and unsightly. On numerous occasions the lawn was 2-3ft high. The height of the grass obstructed the view of the drivers trying to turn on SW 1151' making an already unsafe intersection all the more hazardous. The dandelions had overtaken the yard and gone to seed only to be spread to all the adjacent lawns. If enough neighbors complained to the city, or left notes taped to the house requesting the lawn be mowed someone would eventually show up and mow it. You would think if one was wanting to make a good impression and be happily welcomed into the neighborhood you would make a conscious effort to keep your property's outward appearance pleasing to the passerby. A few days prior to the signs being posted about the public hearing an employee of the City of Tigard was walking the property. We approached him to inquire what the latest development was and mentioned the tall and very unsightly lawn. The gentleman agreed that the height of the grass was unacceptable and indicated that he would take it to the appropriate people and see that it was mowed. On the day that we received a letter in the mail notifying us of the public hearing a flatbed semi-truck pulled up and unloaded an industrial size mower at the proposed property At this point the lawn was too high for your basic household mower. The lawn was finally mowed and for the first time since ownership of the property changed, people actually planted flowers in the flower bed and made an effort to bring the existing landscape in to some sense of order. Was the timing just a coincidence? We think not. It was at this point that the signs went up notifying the public of the hearing. Given their track record you can see why there is legitimate concern by the surrounding neighbors about this groups ability to build and maintain a property that would increase the value of our own homes as well as be pleasing to the eye of those passing by. We are requesting that specific maintenance and landscaping standards be included in the proposal before its approval. We realize this has nothing to do with determining whether or not the proposed development meets all the necessary requirements to go forward but we are hoping this might help the applicant in understanding, given their track record, why the neighbors are less than convinced about their ability to maintain a facility that will enhance the natural features of the neighborhood. Ms. O'dell implied in her letter that the opposition to this building is a racial or prejudice issue. For our family this is definitely not the case. We strongly feel that everyone should have the freedom of worship and respect others religious beliefs. However, we feel we do have a legitimate concern about how a building of this magnitude and design will affect the value of our property as well as the congestion and noise level of our neighborhood. • We appreciate your time and consideration in this matter.

The letter from James R Bean and Debra A Bean dated July 9 and received at the city July 10, 2001, in regards to the roof line, the 23' 0&1/2" is set so that a 30" parapet and a 5' truss depth and a 1'61/2" space between the bottom of the truss and the bottom of the drop ceiling will allow a 15' ceiling in the Sabha Hall. The towers that are on the plans which show on the North elevation have been deleted but were shown correctly on the East and West elevations. The only towers will be the towers on the South elevation at both corners of the building. Also the building application is for a maximum of 180 people. No exceptions can be taken with out reapplying to the city for a change. The landscaping on the site has been designed to meet the standards required by the city, however as stated in my item #6 of our letter dated July 2, 2001 landscaping adjacent to the building and to the property line on the North and East will be redesigned to minimize the neighbors concern for both the size of the Temple and the access doors on the North and East sides. 2. The letter from Gary and Tanja Bourque, recived at the city July 9,2001. a.) item #2. We will design the lighting level to 1' candle maximum at the property line. b.) item 44.

PAGE 01 July 15, 2001 RECEIVED KAMM JUL 16 2001 CITY OF TIGARD Community Development Department 13125 SW Hall Blvd. Tigard, OR 97223 WY OF MARD RE: BAPS TEMPLE WEST FILE # CUP2000-0004 This letter is in response to some letters faxed to me by Nick Patel from neighbors who wrote to the city. Also, this is in response to several phone calls I received on my cell phone voice mail from neighbors opposing the building. When I mentioned in my previous letter to the City that some of the neighbors that I had spoken to had felt this had turned into a racist thing was statements mentioned to me - these were NOT MY WORDS, although I felt this to be the case as well. In fact one neighbor was so kind as to tell me about the flyer distributed to all neighbors, written by a homeowner, and to volunteer a copy to me. He did not oppose the church being built on the property. The minutes that were taken at the meeting at the house were statements made at the meeting; I was quite surprised at the responses, and was totally embarrassed for the buyers of the property. Again, we followed the instructions given to us by City Hall on the notification of the meetings; recorded with you after the meeting, and a public record for the neighborhood. If someone wanted a copy of the minutes after the meeting, they could have gone to City Hall and read them, as they have done on these letters. I did not make any derogatory remarks to anyone at the City Hall meeting in any way; I did feel quite threatened as I was leaving the meeting, and this made me feel very sad that people would act this way in our country. During the break at the City Hall meeting, my husband overheard one of the attendees tell one of the Patels that they did not want "their kind" in their neighborhood, and "just go build your church somewhere else". My husband told him that wasn't a very nice thing to say, and that if everything was approved, the church would be built. By this time there were three men talking, and my son joined my husband to see if there was going to be trouble. 1F1t ftt'ed, "what is this, a lynch ,mob?"; my husband stated "no, just some rednecks". One 07/15/2001 19:02 5032565 MARY . man apologized to my husband later, but the other two did not. My husband and I were accused of "just wanting to make a quick buck." Yes, we are in the business to make money just like everyone else chooses a profession to make money. I received three voice mails on troy cell phone this past week from neighbors opposing the temple being built; one neighbor I consider harrassing me, and if it continues, I will consult with an attorney. I wonder if the Church that is just around the corner from this property had this much trouble getting approval, and has the same restrictions that these neighbors are wanting to put on the temple?. It appears to me to be a very large church, so should have quite a bit of traffic on that street as well? PAGE 02 When I was first looking for property for the Patels, I drove through numerous neighborhoods observing the dill'erenct churches, sizes, etc. that were built. I saw some very large churches in some very expensive neighborhoods, with the same size streets, etc. that are here, so I did not ever dream that there would be this much opposition to a church. What would happen if someone else would have bought the property and built an apartment complex, rowhouses, or duplexes there? At least with the temple, the traffic would not be all day, every day/night. With that size property and the empty lot, someone would most likely want to turn it into a profit, instead of just keeping it for a pasture, etc. I still hold true to the fact that people are grasping for ways to stop this temple from being built; not because it is a temple, but for the fact that is a different religion than what they are in the neighborhood. Granted, with all the publicity of "cults", I respect their concerns, but knowing the Patels and learning about their religion, the neighbors do not have to worry about a "cult coming into their area". If it were true, and the people were not sincere, honest, very hard working, and did not have morales, I would not have taken on the job of assisting them to find a location to build their temple ANYWHERE in this city. My son worked for the Patels for many years in their Hotels; I had the opportunity to meet them, work with them, and SEE THEM WORK. I saw how they treated their employees on a day-to-day basis. They are proud people, they do not ask outsiders for anything, they take care of their own, they do not accept charity/welfare like so many other different cultures do when they come into our country. They are building this temple with funds they have worked very hard for - only 10 families contributed all the money to pay cash for that piece of property and to build their temple. They do not have to borrow any money from any other source. This money came from those families working day/night, 07/15/2001 19:02 50325 ' 65 MARY PAGE 03 If they let the grass get a le tall at the property, it was because th got busy with their jobs, not because they are neglectful; they held bake sales, sold pop cans, did not eat meals out at restaurants, etc. to save their money for this property. They were aware they needed to get the grass mowed, and the mower was broken for awhile, and they did not "just happen" to get it mowed just before the meeting. I am quite sure they will keep the property in good condition. If you wonder how they operate, I challenge anyone to go visit their places of business and talk to employees; you will not get negative feelings/responses, but will learn of how hard the whole families work, without ever a complaint. They have been very good to my song, and helped him out when he needed it without hesitation; they have helped my family out when I asked them. I care for them like my own family, and to say that, it is with all honesty you do not have to worry about this temple being built in this neighborhood turning into a "cult".

SECTION III. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Site History: Staff conducted a computer search for case history on the subject parcel. Staff found no record of previous land use applications on this parcel. Vicinity Information: The site is located within an R-4.5-zoned residential neighborhood. To the north and east are single-family dwellings on large lots. Single-family dwellings are also located to the south and west, on the opposite sides of Tigard Street and 115th Avenue, respectively. Site Information and Proposal Description: The Site is currently developed with a residential house, which gains access from a driveway onto 115th Avenue. The home is to remain on the lot and continue to be used as a residence. The applicants intend to either rent the house to persons not affiliated with the temple, or to partition the house property from the parent lot and sell it at some point in the future. The remainder of the development site is currently a grassy field. The applicants propose to construct a 19,690 square foot temple building in the northeast corner of the site. The building is proposed to be approximately 30 feet in height. The building would contain a chapel area, kitchen, dining area, auditorium, a small office, library, and a small bedroom with an associated living room. The rest of the site would contain a 93- space parking lot, with landscaping, lighting, and walkways. SECTION IV. DECISION MAKING PROCEDURES. PERMITS AND USE Use Classification: Section 18.130.020 Lists the Use Categories. The applicant is propposin to build a Temple Religious Institution) that contains a residential unit. The Religious Institution is a Conditional Use in the R-4.5 zone and the residential use is permitted outright in the R-4.5 zone. Summa Land Use Permits: Chapter 18.310 Defines the decision-making type to which the land-use application is assigned. The proposed use (Religious Institution) requires a Conditional Use permit which is a Type III-HO decision. Decision Making Procedures: Chapter 18.390 Describes the decision-making procedures. Type III-HO procedures apply to quasi-judicial permits and actions that predominantly contain discretionary approval criteria. Type III-HO actions are decided by the Hearings Officer with appeals to or review by the City Council. SECTION VI. NEIGHBORHOOD COMMENTS The Tigard Community Development Code requires that property owners within 500 feet of the subject site be notified of the proposal, and be given an opportunity for written comments and/or oral testimony prior to a decision being made. In addition, the applicant is required to post the site with notice of the public hearing. Three letters have been received from interested persons wishing to comment on the application. Following is a summary of the issues raised in the letters, followed by a staff response to each issue: BAPS TEMPLE WEST PAGE 6 OF 24 CUP2000-00004 6/25/01 STAFF REPORT TO THE HEARINGS OFFICER The Temple Facility will increase traffic problems on streets that already carry too much traffic. Tigard Street and 115th Avenue are designated as Minor Collector streets by the City of Tigard. Minor Collector streets are designed to carry between 500 and 3,000 vehicles per day. The applicant has submitted a traffic impact analysis (TIA) for the proposed facility. The TIA surveyed traffic during one 24-hour period on Sunday, April 16, 2000 and found the number of trips to be 1,326, which is well within the range. The TIA also looks at "level of service" measures for intersections in the vicinity. The analysis used traffic modeling to compare current levels of service with future levels of service after the temple facility is in use. The study finds that levels of service would not change at any intersection during normal temple activities. During Temple Holidays, which the applicant states would occur four times a gear, the level of service at the intersection of Tiedeman and Tigard Street would drop from a B" to a "C," which is still an acceptable level of service. Based on this analysis, the traffic impacts of the proposed development are within acceptable limits. The applicant is also proposing street improvements to Tigard Street and 115th Avenue along the frontage of the temple's site. These street improvements will include sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and street trees. These improvements will help to separate pedestrian and automobile traffic in the area and will improve pedestrian and automobile circulation in the area. As the Temple's congregation grows it will create parking overflow problems in the surrounding neighborhood. The congregation will be limited by the size of the proposed facility. If the facility is proposed to expand, a modification to the conditional use permit would be required. This modification would require a new public process that would include notice to neighbors and, if a significant expansion were proposed, a new public hearing. The applicant has proposed to construct a parking lot containing 93 spaces in conjunction with the temple. The 93 spaces are necessary to serve the facility during festival days, when up to 180 persons will visit the temple. The Tigard Development Code requires one parking space for every two seats in the main assembly area of a religious institution. The proposed parking area complies with this code requirement. According to the applicant, there are only four festival days during the year. Most Sundays, when services are held, the anticipated crowd will be between 50 and 70 persons. The 93-space parking lot will more than adequately handle this number of visitors. SECTION VII.

SPECIFIC CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL CRITERIA Section 18.330.010.A states that the purpose of this chapter is to provide standards and procedures under which a conditional use may be permitted, enlarged or altered if the site is appropriate and if other appropriate conditions of approval can be met. There are certain uses which due to the nature of the impacts on surrounding land uses and public facilities require a case-by-case review and analysis. Section 18.330.020.A states that a request for approval for a new conditional use shall be processed as a Type III-HO procedure, as regulated by Chapter 18.390.050, using approval criteria contained in Section 18.330.03QA and subject to other requirements in Chapter 18.330. General Approval Criteria for a Conditional Use: Section 18.330.030: The site size and dimensions provide adequate area for the needs of the proposed use; The existing site size is 70,185 square feet in size. Of this, approximately 10,000 square feet will serve the existing single-family dwelling on the site. This report evaluates the proposal and necessary setbacks, landscaping, etc., and as conditioned, the remaining 60,000 square feet will provide adequate area for the needs of the temple facility. The characteristics of the site are suitable for the proposed use considering size, shape, location, topography, and natural features; The proposed development site is well suited for the proposed use. The site is large and mostly undeveloped. Access to the site is available from Tigard Street and 115th Avenue, which are both classified as minor collector streets. The site is largely devoid of trees or significant vegetation and it contains no sensitive land areas, such as streams or wetlands. The site slopes gradually upward to the north, but does not contain any steeply sloped areas. Concern has been expressed by nearby residents that the temple facility will change the character of this largely residential neighborhood. However, religious institutions are conditionally permitted in residential neighborhoods. The temple facility will be required to meet all applicable buffering standards in order to minimize impacts on adjacent properties. Staff finds that the subject site is suitable for the proposed use. All required public facilities have adequate capacity to serve the proposal; and The applicant has proposed half-street improvements to Tigard Street and 115th Avenue, including curb, gutter, sidewalk, and street trees. The applicant has also proposed improvements to the sanitary sewer system in this area. These proposed improvements, as well as conditions of approval in this report relating to public facility improvements, will result in public facilities with adequate capacity to serve the proposed development. The applicable requirements of the zoning district are met except as modified by this chapter. The following table provides the dimensional standards in the R-4.5 zone, the additional dimensional requirements for Religious Institutions specified in the Conditional Use Standards of Section 18.330.050.8.16 and the dimensions proposed for this development.

[2] Includes all buildings and impervious surfaces. As identified in the table above, the applicant's plans show that the dimensional standards for the base zone and Conditional Use standards are met. The submitted plans show there will be a small apartment located within the temple facility. As noted previously, there is an existing residence in the northwest corner of the development site. Although a single-family residence is a permitted use within the R-4.5 zoning district, locating two dwelling units on one lot is not allowed in that zoning district without conditional use permit approval. The applicant has not requested conditional use permit approval for this aspect of the development. Consequently, the following condition should be imposed to ensure that the development is in compliance with the applicable requirements of the zoning district: CONDITION:The applicant shall apply to partition the existing single-family dwelling site, located in the northwest corner of the development site, from the remainder of the development site. The partition application shall be submitted and deemed complete, prior to building permit issuance for the temple facility. The partition shall be completed and recorded at Washington County prior to final inspections for the temple facility. The applicable requirements of 18.330.050 are met. The applicable requirements of Section 18.330.050, as they relate to religious institutions, are summarized in the preceding table. As noted, the proposed development complies with these requirements. The supplementary requirements set forth in other chapter of this Code including but not limited to Chapter 18.780, Signs, and Chapter 18.360, Site Development Review, if applicable, are met. The applicable review criteria in this case include the following chapters of the Community Development Code: 18.330, Conditional Use; 18.360, Site Development Review; 18.390 Decision Making Procedures; 18.510, Residential Zoning Districts, 18.705, Access, Egress and Circulation; 18.745, Landscaping and Screening; 18.755, Mixed Solid Waste and Recyclable Storage; 18.765, Off-Street Parking; 18.790, Tree Removal; 18.795, Visual Clearance Areas; and 8.810, Street and Utility Improvement Standards. The development standards and requirements of these chapters are addressed further in this report. The proposal contains no elements related to the provisions of the following chapters: 18.600, Community Plan Area Standards; 18.710, Accessory Residential Units; 18.715, Density Computations; 18.720, Design Comppatibility Standards; 18.725; Historic Overlay; 18.74y, Home Occupations; 18.750, g anufactured/Mobile Home Regulations; 18.760, Nonconforming Situations; 18.775, Sensitive Lands; 18.780, Temporary Uses; 18.797, Water Resources Overlay District; and 18.798, Wireless Communications Facilities. These chapters are, therefore, found to be inapplicable as approval standards. BAPS TEMPLE WEST PAGE 9 OF 24 CUP2000-00004 6/25/01 STAFF REPORT TO THE HEARINGS OFFICER The use will comply with the applicable policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan is implemented by the Community Development Code. Compliance with Comprehensive Plan policies are, therefore, assured by satisfaction of the applicable development standards of the development code as addressed within this report. FINDING: Based on the analysis and suggested conditions identified above, the General Approval Criteria for a Conditional Use are satisfied. Additional Conditions of Approval for Conditional Use. Section 18.330.030.6 states that the Hearings Authority may impose conditions on the approval of a conditional use, which are found necessary to ensure the use is compatible with other uses in the vicinity, and that the impact of the proposed use on the surrounding uses and public facilities is minimized. These conditions may include, but are not limited to the following: Limiting the hours, days, place and/or manner of operation; The applicant has stated that temple services will ordinarily take place on Sundays. The applicant estimates that, four times a year, 150-180 followers will attend Hindu Festivals at the facility. The festivals are Hindu New Years, Lord's Birthday, Guru's Birthday, and Hindu Festival. Dates for the festivals were not provided. The applicant states that temple hours for Sunday services and festival days will generally be from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. Based on this information, staff sees no need to limit hours, days, place, or manner of operation. Requiring design features which minimize environmental impacts such as noise, vibration, air pollution, glare, odor and/or dust; No undue environmental impacts are anticipated from the proposed facility. The temple facility will function similarly to other religious institutions in the area. As with all development in the City of Tigard, the facility will be expected to comp) with the environmental performance standards in Chapter 18.725, which sets standards for noise, odors, vibrations, and other impacts. The City of Tigard will reserve the right to enforce these standards at any time. Requiring additional setback areas, lot area, and/or lot depth or width; The applicable buffer requirements are discussed in more detail later in this report. As conditioned, the buffers provided will be adequate. As discussed previously, the lot area is adequate to serve the proposed use. Limiting the building height, size or lot coverage, and/or location on the site; Based on the plans submitted, the new building will comply with the 30-foot height limitation within the R-4.5 zoning district. The location of the building is in accordance with the setback requirements. Although the building will be adjacent to residential roperties, it will effectively screen much of the parking area from those properties. Staff finds the building height, size, lot coverage, and location are appropriate on the proposed development site. Designating the size, number, location and/or design of vehicle access points; A condition is not necessary for this criteria since, as discussed further in this report, the proposed access point is located to provide the best access to the site, without creating off- site conflicts. Requiring street right-of-way to be dedicated and street(s) to be improved; As discussed later in this report, the applicant has proposed to dedicate additional right-of-way and construct improvements along the project's frontage on Tigard Street and 115th Avenue. These improvements are discussed in more detail in the analysis of compliance with the requirements of Chapter 18.810, which relates to street and utility improvement standards. Findings and conditions from that section are hereby incorporated by reference as findings under this criterion. Based on this analysis, no further dedication or improvements are necessary. BAPS TEMPLE WEST PAGE 10 OF 24 CUP2000-00004 6/25/01 STAFF REPORT TO THE HEARINGS OFFICER Requiring landscaping, screening, drainage and/or surfacing of parking and loading areas; Compliance with parking lot landscaping requirements is discussed later in this report. Findings and conditions from that analysis are hereby adopted by reference under this criterion. Staff finds that no further requirements are necessary. Limiting the number, size, location, height and/or lighting of signs; No signs have been proposed in conjunction with the proposed facility. If the applicant desires to install signage for the facility in the future, all signs must comply with the requirements of Chapter 18.780. Separate sign permits must be obtained by the applicant prior to placing signage on the site. Compliance with the sign requirements for the underlying zone should be sufficient to appropriately limit the number, size, location, and height of signs serving the development. Limiting or setting standards for the location and/or intensity of outdoor lighting; The City of Tigard's Environmental Performance Standards (Chapter 18.725) prohibit the creation of direct or sky-reflected glare that is visible across a property line from the lighting source. To ensure that this requirement is addressed, the following condition is recommended: CONDITION: The applicant shall install hooded light fixtures which comply with the standards of Chapter 18.725 in all exterior lighting locations, or shall provide an analysis by a qualified professional that demonstrates that glare will not be created by any of the proposed lights on the development site. Requiring berms, screening or landscaping and the establishment of standards for their installation and maintenance; No additional berms, screening, or landscaping are determined to be necessary beyond that required per the City of Tigard's landscaping requirements. These requirements are discussed later in this report. Requiring and designating the size, height, location and/or materials for fences; No additional berms, screening, or landscaping are determined to be necessary beyond that required er the City of Tigard's landscaping requirements. These requirements are discussedplater in this report. Requiring the protection and preservation of existing trees, soils, vegetation, watercourses, habitat areas and/or drainage areas; The applicant will be preserving some of the existing trees on the site and removing others. The proposed tree removal is not considered to be excessive. There are no watercourses, habitat areas, or drainage areas on the site. Requiring the dedication of sufficient open land area for a greenway adjoining and within the floodplain when land form alterations and development are allowed within the 100-year floodplain; and This development is not adjacent to the 100-year floodplain, therefore, a condition is not necessary. Requiring the construction of a pedestrian/bicycle pathway within the floodplain in accordance with the adopted pedestrian/bicycle pathway plan. This development is not adjacent to the 100-year floodplain, therefore, a condition is not necessary. FINDING: Based on the analysis above, and imposition of the recommended condition, staff finds that the above concerns are adequately addressed.

Egress and Circulation: Walkways: On-site pedestrian walkways shall comply with the following standards: Walkways shall extend from the ground floor entrances or from the ground floor landing of stairs, ramps, or elevators of all commercial, institutional, and industrial uses, to the streets which provide the required access and a ress. Walkways shall provide convenient connections between buildings in mulfi-building commercial, institutional, and industrial complexes. Unless impractical, walkways shall be constructed between new and existing developments and neighboring developments; Submitted plans show a walkway connecting the temple building entrance to the sidewalk to be constructed along Ti and Street. The plans also show a sidewalk connecting to the parking lot to the west of he building, but not connecting to the sidewalk along 115th Avenue. o satisfy the above code criteria, the following condition should apply: CONDITION: The sidewalk serving the western portion of the parking lot shall be extended to connect to the right-of-way along 115th Avenue. The applicant shall revise site plans to show how this will be accomplished. Wherever required walkways cross vehicle access driveways or parking lots, such crossings shall be designed and located for pedestrian safety. Required walkways shall be physically separated from motor vehicle traffic and parking by either a minimum 6-inch vertical separation (curbed) or a minimum 3-foot horizontal separation, except that pedestrian crossings of traffic aisles are permitted for distances no greater than 36 feet if appropriate landscaping, pavement markings, or contrasting pavement materials are used. Walkways shall be a minimum of four feet in width, exclusive of vehicle overhangs and obstructions such as mailboxes, benches, bicycle racks, and sign posts, and shall be in compliance with ADA standards; The walkway serving the western pportion of the parking lot crosses the traffic aisle near the southwest corner of the building. To comply with code requirements, the following condition should be applied: CONDITION:The walkway crossing of the traffic aisle near the southwest corner of the building shall be adequately differentiated from the parking lot by pavement markings or contrasting pavement material, per the requirements of 18.705.030.F. Minimum Access Requirements for Commercial and Industrial Use: Section 18.705.030.1 provides the minimum access requirements for commercial and industrial uses: Table 18.705.3 indicates that the required access width for developments with less than 100 parking spaces is one 30-foot-wide access with a 24- foot pavement width. Vehicular access shall be provided to commercial or industrial uses, and shall be located to within 50 feet of the primary ground floor entrances; additional requirements for truck traffic may be placed as conditions of site development review. Submitted plans show that a 30-foot-wide paved accessway will provide vehicular access to the development from Tigard Street. Additionally, the accessway is located directly opposite 114th Place, which will help to minimize traffic conflicts on Tigard Street. The proposed development complies with this requirement. Landscaping and Screening - Chapter 18.745: Street trees: Section 18.745.040 states that all development projects fronting on a public street shall be required to plant street trees in accordance with Section 18.745.040.C Section 18.745.040.C required that street trees be spaced between 20 and 40 feet apart depending on the size classification of the tree at maturity (small, medium or large). BAPS TEMPLE WEST PAGE 12 OF 24 CUP2000-00004 6/25/01 STAFF REPORT TO THE HEARINGS OFFICER 0 0 The applicant has proposed planting a row of Crimson Sentry Maples and Scarlett Oaks along Tigand Street and 115 Avenue. The trees are proposed to be planted at a spacing of between 20 and 30 feet. This standard has been met. Land Use Buffering and Screening: Buffering and Screening is required between different types of land uses. The proposed expansion is in a residential zone and is abutting residential uses on all sides. While the site is not classified as a residential use, it is not a use listed in the buffer matrix requiring screening from adjacent residential uses either. In any event, the applicant has proposed a 20-foot landscaped buffer between the temple building and adjacent properties to the north and east. A row of Viriscens Cedar is proposed along the eastern boundary, along with six Crimson Sentry Maples and other shrubs. Along the north boundary, a row of Cotoneaster Franchetti is proposed, as well as eight Raywood Ash trees and other shrubs. This screening and the 20-foot buffer will provide adequate separation between the proposed temple facility and adjacent buildings. Table 18.745.1 requires a Level D buffer between parking lots over 50 spaces in size and adjacent residential properties. As shown in Table 18.745.2, there are three options for a level D buffer, one is a 10-foot buffer planted with shrubs, trees, and a six-foot wall; another is a 15-foot buffer planted with shrubs, trees, and a six-foot fence; the last is a 20-foot buffer planted with shrubs, trees, and six-foot hedge. The applicant has provided a 20-foot-wide buffer between the parking lot and adjacent residential properties. Proposed trees within the buffer do not comply with the 10-foot minimum, 20-foot maximum spacing. The proposed Cedar and Photinia hedges meet the hedge requirements. However, Cotoneaster is not an acceptable hedge material. Hedge vegetation must form a continuous screen within two years of planting, and Cotoneaster will not satisf~yy this requirement. Additionally, hedge planting is required in the area where Lodgepole Pines are proposed to be planted, on the north side of the western portion of the parking lot. To satisfy these concerns, the following condition should be imposed: CONDITION: The applicant shall revise landscape plans to show a landscape buffer between the parking area and all adjacent residential properties that complies with the requirements for a Level D buffer, as explained in Table 18.745.2. Screening - Special Provisions: Section 18.745.050.E requires the screening of parking and loading areas. Landscaped parking areas shall include special design features which effectively screen the parking lot areas from view. Planting materials o be installed should achieve a relative balance between low lying and vertical shrubbery and trees. Trees shall be planted in landscaped islands in all parking areas, and shall be equally distributed on the basis of one (1) tree for each seven (7) parking spaces in order to provide a canopy effect. The minimum dimension on the landscape islands shall be three (3) feet wide and the landscaping shall be protected from vehicular damage by some form of wheel guard or curb. Screening between the parking lot and adjacent residential properties has been adequately addressed in the preceding discussion. The applicant has proposed a single row of Currant bushes and a mixture of regon Grape, Currant bushes, and Dogwood Trees to screen the parking lot from Tigard Street and 115`h Avenue. The proposed plant varieties and density of planting will not result in an adequate screen to "effectively screen the parking lot areas from view," as is required. More dense plantings, or different plant varieties, are needed. Trees are required to be evenly distributed within parking lot areas, at the rate of one tree for every seven parking spaces. Submitted plans show a 93-space parkin lot, but only seven trees proposed within' the parking lot. Given the requirement for one tree for each seven parking spaces, 13 trees are required to be located within landscaped island areas within the parking lot. To address these deficiencies, the following condition should be imposed: CONDITION:The applicant shall revise landscape plans to ensure that the proposed landscaping will effectively screen the parking lot areas from view from Tigard Street and 115'h Avenue. The landscape plans shall also be revised to include one tree within a landscaped island in the parking lot for every seven parking spaces. 13 trees will need to be planted in the parking lot area to serve the 93- BAPS TEMPLE WEST PAGE 13 OF 24 CUP2000-00004 6/25/01 STAFF REPORT TO THE HEARINGS OFFICER • space parking lot.

The proposed revisions adequate parking to serve the facility, per Section 18.745.050.E.4 requires screening of refuse containers. Except for one- and two-family dwellings, any refuse container or refuse collection area which would be visible from a public street, parking lot, residential or commercial area, or any public facility such as a school or park shall be screened or enclosed from view by placement of a solid wood fence, masonry wall or evergreen hedge. All refuse shall be contained within the screened area. It is not clear from submitted plans whether a refuse collection area is intended outside of the temple facility. There is an area in the north side of the parking lot area that could be intended as a refuse collection area. To ensure compliance with the above standard, the following condition should apply: CONDITION:The applicant shall clarify if a refuse collection area is intended outside of the temple building. If such an area is desired, the applicant shall revise plans to show the locafion of the facility outside of required buffer and setback areas. The revised plan will indicate how the screening requirement for refuse collection areas will be met for the facility. MIXED SOLID WASTE AND RECYCLABLE STORAGE Chapter 18.755 The mixed solid waste and source separated recyclable storage standards shall apply to new multi-unit residential buildings containing five or more units and non- residential construction that are subject to full site plan or design review; and are located within urban zones that allow, outright or by condition, for such uses. The requirements of Chapter 18.755 apply to the proposed development. The applicant has not indicated the location of mixed solid waste and recyclables storage on the site. To ensure that these standards are met, the following condition should be applied: CONDITION: The. applicant shall revise site plans to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Chapter 18.755 regarding Mixed Solid Waste and Recyclable Storage. If the storage area is to be located outside, it shall be located in the same area as the refuse collection area. Revised plans shall indicate how the facility will be buffered to meet applicable requirements. The applicant shall utilize one of the four allowed methods of demonstrating compliance, as explained in Section 18.755.040 of the Tigard Development Code. Off-Street Parking and Loading (18.765 Disabled-Accessible Parking: All parking areas shall be provided with the required number of parking spaces for disabled persons as specified by the State of Oregon Uniform Building Code and federal standards. Such parking spaces shall be sized, signed and marked as required by these regulations. The site is provided with 4 ADA spaces marked on-site. Building permit staff have indicated that the proposed ADA parking spaces that face Tigard Street shall comply with OSSC, Chapter 1. Compliance with these requirements will be determined during building permit review. Wheel Stops: Parking spaces along the boundaries of a parking lot or adjacent to interior landscaped areas or sidewalks shall be provided with a wheel stop at least four inches high located three feet back from the front of the parking stall. The front three feet of the parking stall may be concrete, asphalt or low lying landscape material that does not exceed the height of the wheel stop. This area cannot be calculated to meet landscaping or sidewalk requirements. The proposed parking spaces to the south of the proposed temple that face Tigard Street require a three-foot overhang into planting areas in order to meet dimensional, requirements. However, submitted plans show a row of flowerin currant bushes will be lanted within the overhang area. There is adequate space for landscape planting to the south of the overhang BAPS TEMPLE WEST PAGE 14 OF 24 CUP2000-00004 6/25101 STAFF REPORT TO THE HEARINGS OFFICER 0 area. To resolve this conflict, imposition of the following condition is recommended: CONDITION: The applicant shall revise plans to show the proposed landscaping to the south of the temple building 3 feet or more to the south from the parking spaces so that the overhanging portion of parked cars will not conflict with the required landscaping. Lighting: Lights provided to illuminate any public or private parking area or vehicle sales area shall be arranged to direct the light away from any adjacent residential district. Compliance with this requirement has been addressed previously in this report, and conditioned accordingly. As conditioned previously, this standard is met. Space and Aisle Dimensions: Section 18.765.040.N states that: "except as modified for angled parking in Figures 18.765.1 and 18.765.2 the minimum dimensions for parking spaces are: 8.5'x 18.3' for a standard space and 7.5x 16.5' for a compact space. The proposed parking layout does not comply with dimensional requirements, as indicated in Figure 18.765.1. Standard parking spaces that are 8.5 feet wide and 18.5 feet deep must be provided with an aisle width of at least 28 feet. 28-foot-wide aisles are also required to serve compact spaces that are 7.5 feet wide and 16.5 feet deep. The applicant has provided 24-foot-wide aisles. There appears to be adequate area available on the site to allow for the wider parking aisles, without altering the location of the building. Therefore, the following condition should apply: CONDITION:The applicant shall revise the design of the proposed parking lot to show 28-foot aisles serving all parking spaces, or alternatively, shall revise the parking lot design to comply with the dimensional requirements of Figure 18.765.1 in some other fashion. Minimum Bicycle Parking Requirements: The total number of required ticycle parking spaces for each use is specified in Table 18.765.2 in Section 18.765.070.H. In no case shall there be less than two bicycle parking spaces. The applicant has not shown the location of required bicycle parking to serve the temple facility. Table 18.768.2 states that for Religious Institutions, one (1) bicycle parking space is required for every 20 seats in the main assembly area. The applicant has indicated that 180 persons would be the maximum capacity of the temple facility. Based on this figure, 9 bicycle parking spaces are required. To ensure compliance with bicycle parking requirements, the following condition should be applied: CONDITION: The applicant shall submit additional materials indicating that the proposed facility will comply with all applicable bicycle parking requirements in Section 18.765.050 of the Tigard Development Code. (Vine bicycle parking spaces are required to serve the facility. Submitted materials shall indicate the location of bicycle parking areas, and shall include scalable drawings of bicycle parking facilities. Minimum Off-Street Parking: Section 18.765.070.1-11 states that the minimum and maximum parking shall be as required in Table 18.765.2. Table 18.765.2 states that the minimum parking for a Religious Institution is one (1) space for every two (2) seats. The applicant has Indicated that the maximum occupancy of the temple facility is 180 persons. Based on this figure, 90 parking spaces are required to serve the facility. The applicant has proposed a 93-space parking lot, which complies with the minimum parking requirement. The maximum allowable parking for the facility is one space for every 1.3 seats in the main assembly area. Therefore, the maximum allowable parking to serve the facility is 138 spaces (180/1.3 = 138). The number of proposed parking spaces complies with the applicable standards. BAPS TEMPLE WEST PAGE 15 OF 24 CUP2000-00004 6/25/01 STAFF REPORT TO THE HEARINGS OFFICER Tree Removal - Chapter 18.790 Section 18.790.030 requires that a tree plan for the planting, removal and protection of trees prepared by a certified arborist be provided for a conditional use application. The tree plan shall include identification of all existing trees, Identification of a program to save existing trees or mitigate tree removal over 12 inches in caliper, identification of which trees are proposed to be removed, and a protection program defining standards and methods that will be used by the applicant to protect trees during and after construction. Although the applicant has submitted information regarding existing trees on the development site, the plan was not prepared by a certified arborist, as is required. The plans do not indicate the condition of existing trees, measures to be implemented to save trees to be preserved, and do not provide information regarding mitigation. To ensure that the requirements of Chapter 18.790 are met, the following conditions should apply: CONDITIONS: • The applicant shall submit a revised tree plan, prepared by a certified arborist, which includes all necessary information as identified in Section 18.790.030 of the Tigard Development Code. The revised tree plan shall comply with all other applicable requirements of Chapter 18.790. • The applicant shall prepare tree mitigation materials to indicate the total number of caliper inches of trees to be removed. The applicant shall indicate how they intend to mitigate for the removed trees, if required to do so by Chapter 18.790. • If tree mitigation is required, the applicant shall submit a bond to provide for the planting of the required caliper inches of trees. An approximate figure for the cost of purchasing, transporting, planting, and maintaining a 2-inch caliper tree is $200. The applicant shall specify, how they propose to mitigate for the required caliper inches to be mitigated. All mitigation trees shall be a minimum of 2-inch caliper size. If the applicant intends to mitigate on-site by planting trees, a revised landscaping plan shall be required that indicates which trees are to be counted towards the mitigation total. Street trees and trees required to meet the buffer and parking lot tree requirements shall not be counted toward the mitigation trees. • Per the requirements of Section 18.790.040.13, the applicant shall record a deed restriction for all trees designated to be preserved to the effect that such a tree may be removed only if the tree dies or is hazardous according to a certified arborist. Visual Clearance Areas - Chapter 18.795: Section 18.795.020.A. states that the provisions of this chapter shall apply to all development including the construction of new structures, the remodeling of existing structures and to a change of use which increases the on-site parking or loading requirements or which changes the access requirements. Section 18.795.030.B. states that a clear vision area shall contain no vehicle, hedge, planting, fence, wall structure or temporary or permanent obstruction except for an occasional utility pole or tree), exceeding three feet in height, measure from the top of the curb, or where no curb exists, from the street center line grade, except that trees exceeding this height may be located in this area, provided all branches below eight feet are removed. There are no proposed structures inside of the vision clearance area; however, there are proposed landscape plantings within vision clearance areas. The applicant is advised that the landscaping in this area must be maintained in accordance with the above standard at all times. The City of Tigard shall reserve the right to enforce this standard at any time. This criterion is addressed without need of a condition.

ADDITIONAL SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW APPROVAL CRITERIA Section 18.360.090(A)(2) through 18.360.090(A)(15) provides additional Site Development Review approval standards not necessarily covered by the provisions of the previously listed sections. These additional standards are addressed immediately below with the following exceptions: The proposal contains no elements related to the provisions of the following and are, therefore, found to be inapplicable as approval standards: 18.360.090.3 (Exterior Elevations);); 18.360.090.5 (Privacy and Noise: Multi-family or Group Living Uses); 18.360.090.6 (Private Outdoor Areas: Multi-family Use); 18.360.090.7 (Shared Outdoor Recreation Areas: Multi-family Use); 18.360.090.8 (100-year floodplain) and 18.360.090.9 (Demarcation of Spaces). The following sections were discussed previously in this report and, therefore, will not be addressed in this section: 18.360.090.4 (Buffering, Screening and Compatibility Between Adjoining Uses; 18.360.090.13 Parking); 18.360.090.14 (Landscaping ; 18.360.090.15 (Drainage); and 18.360.090.14 Provision for the Disabled); 18.36 .09 .15 (Provisions of the underlying zone). Buildings shall e: oca e o preserve s i n ing trees, topography and natural drainage where possible based upon existing site conditions; locates in areas not subject to ground slumping or sliding; located to provide adequate distance between adjoining buildings for adequate light air circulation, and fire-fighting; and oriented wih consideration for sun and wind frees shall be preserved to he extent possible. Replacement of trees is subject to the requirements of Chapter 18.790, Tree emoval. The development site is not steeply sloped and contains few trees. The ropposed building location is sensitive to existin site conditions. As noted previously, a Y0-foot setback is required between the temple l5uildin and neighboring proppert yy lines. The separation thus provided will allow for adequate light, air circulation, and fire Vie property capability. Some concern has been expressed regarding the building blocking light to iie property to the north, thereby interfering with ppotentiargarden space. However, submitted buildingg elevations show the bulk of the building fo be approximately 23 feet in height along the nort Fi property line. Given the 20-foot setback and the approximate 45-degree sun angle during summer months, it is not anticipated that the building would interfere significantly with a garden on the adjacent property. Furthermore, there is no code provision that could be interpreted as limiting the building location to ensure a ciarden on adjacent property. If the property was developed for single- family housing, the setback and height allowed on the property would have a greater impac on the property to the north. FINDING: Based on the analysis above, this standard has been satisfied. Crime Prevention and Safety: Windows shall be located so that areas vulnerable to crime can be surveyed by the occupants; Interior laundry and service areas shall be located in a way that they can be observed by others; Mail boxes shall be located in lighted areas having vehicular or pedestrian traffic; The exterior lighting levels shall be selected and the angles shall be oriented towards areas vulnerable to crime; and Ligl t fixtures shall be provided in areas having heavy pedestrian or vehicular trai fic and in potentially danq@rous areas such as parking lots, stairs, ramps and abrupt grade changes. Fixtures shall be placed at a height so that light patterns overlap at a height of seven feet, which is sufficient to illuminate a person. The City of Tigard Police Department has reviewed this project and has not indicated concern or objection to the proposal. Staff finds that the plan addresses crime prevention concerns. FINDING: Based on the analysis above, the crime prevention standards have been met. BAPS TEMPLE WEST PAGE 17 OF 24 CUP2000-00004 6/25/01 STAFF REPORT TO THE HEARINGS OFFICER 0 0 Public Transit: . Provisions wi in the plan.shall be included for providing for transit if the development proposal is adjacent to existing or proposed transit route; the requirements for transit acs sties shall be based on: the location of other transit facilities in the area; and the size and type of the proposal. The following facilities may be required after City and Tri-Met review: bus stop shelters; turnouts for buses; and connecting paths to the shelters. A copy of the development application submittal was sent to Tri-Met for comment. No comment was received. The nearest bus line to the development site is along 121St Avenue to the west. Tri-Met has not indicated a need for transit facilities to serve the proposed development. FINDING: Based on the analysis above, this standard is satisfied. Street And Utility Improvements Standards (Section 18.810): Chapter 18.810 provides construction standards for the implementation of public and private facilities and utilities such as streets, sewers, and drainage. The applicable standards are addressed below: Streets: Improvements: Section 18.810.030.A.1 states that streets within a development and streets adjacent shall be improved in accordance with the TDC standards. Section 18.810.030.A.2 states that any new street or additional street width planned as a portion of an existing street shall be dedicated and improved in accordance with the TDC. Minimum Rights-of-Way and Street Widths: Section 18.810.030(E) requires a minor collector street to have a 60-foot right-of-way width and a 40-foot paved section. Other improvements required may include on-street parking, sidewalks and bikeways, underground utilities, street lighting, storm drainage, and street trees. This site lies adjacent to SW Tigard Street and SW 115th Avenue, both of which are classified as minor collector streets on the City of Tigard Transportation Plan Map. At present, there is approximately 20 feet of right-of-way (ROW) from centerline on both streets, according to the most recent tax assessor's map. The applicant's plan indicates they will dedicate additional ROW along both streets to provide 30 feet from centerline. In addition, they intend to dedicate ROW at the intersection to provide a ROW radius of 25 feet. This will accommodate a curb radius of 30 feet, which meets City standards. SW Tigard Street The applicant shows that they will construct a half-street improvement on SW Tigard Street across the site frontage to meet the City's minor collector standard. A new driveway entrance is proposed across from SW 114th Avenue. This location is acceptable. SW 115th Avenue The applicant is proposing to construct a half-street improvement on SW 115th Avenue along a portion of the overall site frontage. They show the improvements stopping where their current onsite development area ends. A small square area at the northwest corner of the site contains an existing single-family detached dwelling. The applicant proposes to partition this square from the main parcel in the future. The applicant proposes to maintain access to the single-family dwelling from SW 115th Avenue. Because of this, the street must be improved to City standards [CDC 18.810.030(A)(1)]. However, CDC18.810.030(A)(1)(e) states that a guarantee in lieu of street improvements is acceptable if the proposal is a land partition on property zoned residential and the partition does not create any new streets. The future partition will not create a new street. Based on this code provision, Staff recommends that the applicant be required to enter into an agreement with the City whereby the owner agrees to participate in any future widening project for SW 115th Avenue carried out by the City, a third party, or through a local improvement district. This agreement would apply to the frontage adjacent to the single- family dwelling, and must be executed prior to recording of the final plat of the partition. BAPS TEMPLE WEST PAGE 18 OF 24 CUP2000-00004 6/25/01 STAFF REPORT TO THE HEARINGS OFFICER 0 0 Sidewalks: Section 18.810.070.A requires that sidewalks be constructed to meet City design standards and be located on both sides of arterial, collector and local residential streets. By installin% a concrete sidewalk with the proposed street improvements on both SW Tigard Street and W115 th Avenue, the applicant will meet this standard. Sanitary Sewers: Sewers Required: Section 18.810.090.A requires that sanitary sewer 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. Over-sizing: Section 18.810.090.C states that proposed sewer systems shall include consideration of additional development within the area as projected by the Comprehensive Plan. There is an existing 8-inch public sanitary sewer line located south of this site in SW 114`h Avenue. The applicant's plans indicate they will extend the public line northerly to SW Tigard Street, then east to their eastern boundary to facilitate future extension. The new sewer line will also be extended westerly in SW Tigard Street, and northerly in SW 1151h Avenue to the extent of the project boundary. Staff supports the applicant's plan. Storm Drainage: General Provisions: Section 18.810.100.A states regwires developers to make adequate provisions for storm water and flood water runoff. Accommodation of Upstream Drainage: Section 18.810.100.C states that a culvert or other drainage facility shall be large enough to accommodate potential runoff from its entire upstream drainage area, whether inside or outside the development. The City Engineer shall approve the necessary size of the facility, based on the provisions of Design and Construction Standards for Sanitary and Surface Water Management (as adopted by the Unified Sewerage Agency in 2000 and including any future revisions or amendments). The topography of this site falls to the south. The applicant's plan shows that the storm drainage improvements to be installed in both streets will adequately collect any runoff that flows toward this site. Effect on Downstream Drainage: Section 18.810.100.D states that where it is anticipated by the City Engineer that the additional runoff resulting from the development will overload an existing drainage facility, the Director and Engineer shall withhold approval of the development until provisions have been made for improvement of the potential condition or until provisions have been made for storage of additional runoff caused by the development in accordance with the Design and Construction Standards for Sanitary and Surface Water Management (as adopted by the Unified Sewerage agency in 2000 and including any future revisions or amendments). In 1997, the Unified Sewerage Agency (USA) completed a basin study of Fanno Creek and adopted the Fanno Creek Watershed Management Plan. Section V of that plan includes a recommendation that local governments institute a stormwater detention/effective impervious area reduction program resulting in no net increase in storm peak flows up to the 25-gear event. The City will require that all new developments resulting in an increase of impervious surfaces provide onsite detention facilities, unless the development is located adjacent to Fanno Creek. For those developments adjacent to Fanno Creek, the storm water runoff will be permitted to discharge without detention. BAPS TEMPLE WEST PAGE 19 OF 24 CUP2000-00004 6/25/01 STAFF REPORT TO THE HEARINGS OFFICER 0 • The applicant's plan shows that all onsite runoff will be collected and directed to the southwest corner of the site where it will be treated in a biofiltration swale. They also ppro ose a detention system involving control orifices in inlet structures. Staff was not able to findpthat the detention system meets USA standards. The preliminary sizing calculations provided by the applicant did not clearly show the detention volume required for this site. Therefore, prior to construction, the applicant's engineer shall submit a revised plan and calculations to ensure that a detention system on this site will meet USA standards. There is adequate space on this site for the applicant to meet the USA detention standard. Bikeways and Pedestrian Pathways: Bikeway Extension: Section 18.810.110.A states that developments adjoining proposed bikeways identified on the City's adopted pedestrian/bikeway plan shall include provisions for the future extension of such bikeways through the dedication of easements or right-of-way. The proposed development does not abut or contain a proposed bikeway. Therefore, this criterion is not applicable. Utilities: Section 18.810.120 states that all utility lines, but not limited to those required for electric, communication, lighting and cable television services and related facilities shall be placed underground, except for surface mounted transformers, surface mounted connection boxes and meter cabinets which may be placed above ground; temporary utility service facilities during construction, high capacity electric lines operating at 50,000 volts or above, and: • The developer shall make all necessary arrangements with the serving utility to provide the underground services; • The City reserves the right to approve location of all surface mounted facilities; • All underground utilities, including sanitary sewers and storm drains installed in streets by the developer, shall be constructed prior to the surfacing of the streets; and • Stubs for service connections shall be long enough to avoid disturbing the street improvements when service connections are made. Exception to Under-Grounding Requirement: Section 18.810.120.C states that a developer shall pay a fee in-lieu of under-grounding costs when the development is proposed to take place on a street where existing utilities which are not underground will serve the development and the approval authority determines that the cost and technical difficulty of under-grounding the utilities outweighs the benefit of under- grounding in con unction with the development. The determination shall be on a case- by-case basis. T9e most common, but not the only, such situation is a short frontage development for which under-grounding would result in the placement of additional poles, rather than the removal of above-ground utilities facilities. An applicant for a development which is served by utilities which are not underground and which are located across a public right-of-way from the applicant's property shall pay a fee in- lieu of under-grounding. There are existing overhead utility lines along both SW Tigard Street and SW 115`h Avenue. If the fee in-lieu is permitted, it is equal to $27.50 per lineal foot of street frontage that contains the overhead lines. However, this rule only applies to the frontage from where service is provided to the site. If the fee option were permitted, the amounts for the two streets would be: SW Tiard Street 360 If SW 11-5 ch Avenue 235 If $9,900.00 $6,463.00. ADDITIONAL CITY AND/OR AGENCY CONCERNS WITH STREET AND UTILITY IMPROVEMENT STANDARDS: BAPS TEMPLE WEST PAGE 20 OF 24 CUP2000-00004 6/25/01 STAFF REPORT TO THE HEARINGS OFFICER 0 • Traffic Study Findings: Group Mackenzie prepared a traffic impact report, dated April 19, '2000. That report analyzed several local intersections, including: SW Tiedeman Avenue/SW Tigard Street SW Tigard Street/SW 114th Place (site driveway) SW Tigard Street/SW 115th Avenue SW 11-5th Avenue/SW North Dakota Street SW North Dakota Street/SW 121St Avenue The engineer found that all five intersections currently operate at Level of Service (LOS) B or better during the PM peak period. After the temple is constructed and operational, all five intersections will continue to operate at acceptable LOS, with the intersection of SW Tiedeman Avenue/SW Tigard Street dropping to a LOS C from a current LOS B. Staff finds that the proposed temple project will not have an adverse impact on intersection level of service. The temple pproject will generate traffic primarily on Sundays, between the hours of 4:00 PM and 8:00 PM. The temple will not be used during the weekday, except for the priest who will live onsite. Based on surveys of similar temple projects and membership information, the average number of vehicles that will enter and exit the site during worship services will be 22. On an occasional holiday celebration, that number could grow to 55 vehicles. Even with the occasional holiday traffic, the impact from this development on the street system will be manageable and will not create hazardous conditions at any intersection. Group Mackenzie reviewed sight distances for the new entrance into the site and found that in both directions there will be over 350 feet of sight distance, which is acceptable. They suggest that any landscaping to be located within sight distance lines be maintained at a height no greater than 3.5 feet above the ground. Staff concurs. In summary, this development will not have an adverse impact on the transportation system and no offsite transportation improvements are required. Public Water System: This site will be serve from the City's public water system. There is an existing public water line located in SW Tigard Street that can serve this site. The applicant's plan shows a water line top on the main. The Public Works Department has reviewed the plan and has submitted comments indicating that backflow protection will be required at the property line. A double detector check valve is required to be installed in a vault. Depending upon fire fighting needs, a fire hydrant assembly may also need to be installed. The construction drawings for permitting will need to be reviewed and approved by the Public Works Department prior to construction. Storm Water Quality The City has agreed to enforce Surface Water Management (SWM) regulations established by the Unified Sewerage Agency (USA) 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 construction, the applicant shall submit plans and calculations for a water quality facility that will meet the intent of the USA Design Standards. In addition, the applicant shall submit a maintenance plan for the facility that must be reviewed and approved by the City prior to construction. The applicant proposes to construct a biofltration swale near the south end of the site to treat the onsite runoff. The preliminary sizing calculations show that the Swale will be 106 feet long and will meet the filtration standards required by USA. BAPS TEMPLE WEST PAGE 21 OF 24 CUP2000-00004 6/25/01 STAFF REPORT TO THE HEARINGS OFFICER • 0 To ensure compliance with Unified Sewerage Agency design and construction standards, the applicant shall employ the design engineer responsible for the design and specifications of the private water quality facility to perform construction and visual observation of the water quality facility for compliance with the design and specifications. These inspections shall be made at significant stages throughout the project and at completion of the construction. Prior to final building inspection, the design engineer shall provide the City of Tigard (Inspection Supervisor) with written confirmation that he water quality facility is in compliance with the design and specifications. Grading and Erosion Control: USA 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 activiy which accelerates erosion. Per USA 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 five or more acres 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. Grading plans will be required for both the onsite private improvements and the public street improvements. Address Assi nments: The Cit o Tigard is responsible for assigning addresses for parcels within the City of Ti and g fee in the amount of $3 .00 and within the Urban Service Boundary ~USB). An addressin h per address shall be assessed. This The shall be paid to the City prior to issuance of a site permit. For this project, the addressing fee will be $30.00. FINDING: Based on the analysis above and the recommended conditions, the street utility and improvement standards are met, or may be conditioned to comply with applicable requirements. E. IMPACT STUDY: Section 18.390.040.B.2.e states that the applicant shall provide an impact study to quantify the effect of development on public facilities and services. For each public facility system and type of impact, the study shall propose improvements necessary to meet City standards, and to minimize the impact of the development on'the public at large, public facilities systems, and affected private property users. In situations where the Community Development Code requires the dedication of real property interests, the applicant shall either specifically concur with a requirement for public right-of-way dedication, or provide evidence that supports that the real property dedication is not roughly proportional to the projected impacts of the development. The following services are available or will be constructed to serve the proposed development: Sanitary Sewer, Storm Sewer, Water, Local Streets, Police and Fire Protection, Electricity, and Telephone service. The various service providers responded to the applicant's request for comments indicating necessary improvements. The application incorporates necessary improvements to ensure the development is adequately served. The applicant's proposal includes a Traffic Impact Study that addressed whether off-site improvements to the transportation system are warranted. Based on a transportation impact study prepared by Mr. David Larson for the A-Boy Expansion/Dolan II/Resolution 95-61, TIF's are expected to recapture 32 percent of the traffic impact of new development on the Collector and Arterial Street system. On July 1, 2001, Washington County will be increasing Transportation Impact Fees. These fees are assessed at the time of building permit application. Based on the need for improvements prior to submittal, it will not be possible for the applicant to submit for building permits prior to July 1, BAPS TEMPLE WEST PAGE 22 OF 24 CUP2000-00004 6/25/01 STAFF REPORT TO THE HEARINGS OFFICER 0 • 2001. Therefore, the following analysis is based on TIF rates that will appl after July 1, 2001. The estimated TIF for the proposed project is $19,786. Based on this figure, the total estimated value of the actual traffic impact of the development would be $61,831. The total unmitigated traffic impact on the collector and arterial street system would be valued at $42,045. The applicant has proposed to dedicate approximately 4,800 square feet of right- of-way. Staff estimate that the right-of-way is valued at approximately $14,400. This figure is less than the unmitigated traffic impact and within rough proport ionality guidelines. The applicant has also proposed to complete improvements along 115`h Avenue and Tigard Street to meet City requirements. Although the improvements are not required by the City, the City would have to recommend denial of the proposal if public improvement standards were not met. As proposed, public improvement standards will be met. SECTION VII. OTHER STAFF COMMENTS The City Building Division has reviewed the proposal and offered the following comments: Fire hydrants and fire access shall be approved by Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue Staff. Provide an accessible route to the public way. The ADA parking spaces facing towards Tigard Street shall comply with OSSC, Chapter 11. The City of Tigard Utility Manager has had the opportunity to review the proposal and provided the following comments: A new double check valve device assembly (backflow protections) is required to be installed to meet current requirements. Regarding Fire Sprinkler Water Service: A) Cut in 8" X 6" MJXFLG TEE with a 6" MJXFLG G.V. with a solid sleeve. Install chlorination tap (remove after testing is complete). B) Restrain jointall pipe. Install vault and double detector check assembly at the property line. It may be necessary for a fire hydrant assembly to be installed. 10-foot minimum separation between water and sanitary is required. Fees are associated with the fire line, meter, etc. Is service size to be 1" with a 1" meter? If so, does this meter meet irrigation needs? Plug abandoned storm lines at two locations. The City Forester has provided comments on the proposed development that have been incorporated into the report. The City Police Department, Long-Range Planning, and The City of Tigard Property Management/Operations Department have had the opportunity to review the proposal and have offered no comments or objections. SECTION VIII. AGENCY COMMENTS Unified Sewerage Agency has reviewed the proposal and offered the following comments: Sanitary Sewer - The engineer shall verify that public sanitary sewer is available to uphill adjacent properties or extension of service as required by USA's R & O 00-7 must be addressed. Storm Sewer - The engineer must verify that public storm sewer is available to uphill adjacent properties or extension of service as required by USA's R & O 00-7 must be addressed. Hydraulic and hydrological analysis of the storm conveyance system is necessary. If downstream storm conveyance does not have the capacity to convey the volume during a 25-year, 24-hour storm event, the applicant is responsible for mitigating the flow. BAPS TEMPLE WEST PAGE 23 OF 24 CUP2000-00004 6/25/01 STAFF REPORT TO THE HEARINGS OFFICER Water Quality - Developer shall provide a water quality facility to treat the new impervious surface being constructed as part of this development.

Because of the limited will be open; it is highly unlikely the worshipers will use the benefits of parks such as Summer Lake and Woodward. Noise Impacts The activities associated with the proposed temple are in character with the surrounding single family residential neighborhood. The facility will have limited hours of operation and worshipping activities are usually not associated with noise generation. Broad buffers in the wide setbacks from the property lines, create additional separation and softening of any potential noises. The service access to the building is adjacent to the parking and access drives, at the front of the building. This side of the building faces the street, which generates much more noise than the few vehicle trips that serve the facility. Mechanical equipment serving the facility will be screened to minimize the sound impacts on neighbors. Transportation S.W. Tigard Street and 115TH Avenue serve the project site, which are both designated as.Minor Collector streets. According to the Trip Generation Manual (Sixth Edition ITE) churches generate 9.49 trips per 1000 square foot of building. Using this value the 190 trips per day would be anticipated daily trips from the 19,690 square foot temple. These trips would primarily be concentrated on late Sunday afternoons and evenings. It is apparent that this facility will not add significantly to the traffic on S.W. 115TH Avenue or Tigard Street. Chapter 18.705 Access, Egress and Circulation Walkway is extended from the ground floor main entrance directly to S.W.

The cost of this permit is also calculated as 4% of the cost of the improvements, based on the design engineer's estimate, and is payable prior to issuance of the approved plan. The permittee will also be required to post a performance bond, or other such suitable security, and execute a Developer/Engineer Agreement which will obligate the design engineer to perform the primary inspection of the public improvement construction work. Prior to City acceptance of any permitted work, and prior to release of work assurance bond(s), the work shall be deemed complete. and satisfactory by the City in writing. The permittee is responsible for the work until such time written City acceptance of the work is posted. NOTE: If an Engineering Permit Is required, the applicant must obtain that permit prior to release of any permits from the Building Division. Building Division Permits: The following is a brief overview of the type of permits issued by the Building Division. For a more detailed explanation of these permits, please contact the Development Services Counter at 503-639-4171, ext. 304. Site Improvement Permit (SIT). This permit is generally issued for all new commercial, industrial and multi-family projects. This permit will also be required for land partitions where lot grading and private utility work is required. This permit covers all on-site preparation, grading and utility work. Home builders will also be required to obtain a SIT permit for grading work in cases where the lot they are working on has slopes in excess of 20% and foundation excavation material is not to be hauled from the site. Building Permit (BUP). This permit covers only the construction of the building and is issued after, or concurrently with, the SIT permit. Master Permit (MST). This permit is issued for all single and multi-family buildings. It covers all work necessary for building construction, including sub-trades (excludes grading, etc.). This permit can not be issued in a subdivision until the public improvements 'are substantially complete and a mylar copy of the recorded plat has been returned by the applicant to the City. For a land partition, the applicant must obtain an Engineering Permit, if required, and return a mylar copy of the recorded plat to the City prior to issuance of this permit. Other Permits. There are other special permits, such as mechanical, electrical and plumbing that may also be required. Contact the Development Services Counter for more information.
