Applicant's Presentation: ti Herb Jundt, stated that he had assumed the eequest would be approved and when staff asked for a list of items to be on display there was a misunderstanding as to what would actually be displayed. Under Staff Report Finding of Fact #1,6, concerning screening,' his drawing was only an approximate representation of the %eighth and would actually be as high as necessary to screen the equipment; the area would not actually be seen from Pacific Hwy and.Gaarde as Gaarde was screened and was below grade-the site was not visible froim the northbound lanes of Pacific Hwy; #II, the applicant further stated concerning Finding of Fact #II he was not deliberately trying to make his storage area visible - the area was not zoned for industrial construction use; this proposal would be a complete sports store allowing the customer the opportunity to try out several different types of recreation by being able to rent equipment - it would also cater to the do-it-yourself home repairperson Staff clarified its position as saying the basic intent of this report is to seek direction from the Planning Commission and not say whether he's specifically proposing to do it - only trying to clarify what type of use is permitted. C. Public Testimony: CA. Proponent's None b' Opponent's Popp read a letter stating opposition to the project due to the increase in traffic and a general disapproval of this type of business in this area. Russell Ripley, 15655 SW 0ld Orchard Place, owner of the Furniture Store directly across Pacific-Hwy for *20 years opposed, stating he had earlier had to blacktop and landscape the front of his lot at great expense to make the area look good and in keeping with the otherwise 'nice area; he stated it was unfair to have so many restrictions on one side of the y highway and none on tiie other side, Mrs. Ripley, 15655 SW Old Orchard Place, cited increased traffic hazard as another reason for opposition. - Brigitte Pottington, 10085 SW Inez, thought a 10' high fence would be unsightly to drivers. c. Rebuttal Jundt stated he had wanted to raise the grade where the building was located and would do anything necessary to screen the ,storage area, Ripley asked how they could allow anything that would require covering up MINUTES TIGARD PLANNING COMMISSION May 2, 1978 Page b Bruce Anderson, 11205 SW Gaarde, stated this was not a suitable business for this location, Tepedino asked if the general concept of this. ttore had changed since he had last presented his proposal. to the Planning Commission? The previous time it had been strictly sports shop and light hardware. • D. Staff Recommendations: Based upon the preceeding findings of fact and conclusions staff recommends that this request be denied. If the Planning Commission chooses to approve this request staff recommends. the following conditions be applied: 1. Sales and rentals be restricted from serving the construction industry l With power equipment. 2. No outside display be permitted. 3. The design criteria specified in the Conclusionary Findings be utilized for Design Review. 4. Ten feet pf right-of-way be dedicated along the Gaarde Street frontage for street improvement p-2-poses. E. Commission Discussion; Popp stated he had nothing against a sports store but the outside display area was inappropriate and all other merchants had to conform to outside aesthetics. Wood stated the previous discussion didn't consider -large construction machines - only type of outdoor storage of these machines could be under:.a roof. Corliss stated Tigard could use these items on a rental basis but that this was an inappropriate use for this,area; rental equipment requires outside storage. Quimby felt there was no need for this type of equipment and it was not in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan Sakata stated there was a need for something like this in Tigard. Tepedino thou-,ht it was inappropriate in this area with dwelling units adjacent and businesses around; he was under the impression from the previous discussion that the store would be storing ski equipment outside. Wood felt it was a similar use based on its retail store similarity, MINUTES TIGARD PLANNING COMMISSION Nay 2, 1978 Page 7 .Wood made a motion for denial abased on staff findings and recommendations. Quimby seconded the motion: The motion for denial was unanimous. 6 7 5.5 CONDITIONAL USE CU 12-78 (Tigard Assembly of God ) NPO 3 A request by the Rev. A.M.

The motion,for denial was withdrawn as well as the second. Wood stated it was an undue burden on the public to show up and.not be allowed to testi-fy Popp asked not to proceed with the Public hearing as the applicant failed to appear. Brian agreed since it was standard policy to deny they would be consistent. Wood mpved for denial and Tepedino seconded ; the vote for denial was unanimous. . 5.1 Request to realign SW Katherine Street by the Tigard School District A. Staff Report (in the form of a memo) Read by Altman B. Applicant's Presentation: Bob Greenwood, Administrative Assistant to Deb Fennell stated that in 1969 when the District purchased it, part of the agreement was the dedication of the road to 121st; 'she property was not sold for a development and the problem due to the nature of the land was the road should be realigned anyway - soil engineering and peat makeup tests R MINUTES TIGARD PLANNING COMMISSION May 2, 1978 Page' 8 made on the site had indicated the road would be more easily and cheaply put in in this new alignment proposed; thereby allowing more money to be put into the actual building than the street. Visibility tests also done had shown this exit point onto 121st has 1000' of visibility in either direction which no other point offers. Bill Risner, 12345 S.W. Katherine St. , owner of the property next to the entrance ofthe school was concerned with the traffic pattern to be created on Katherine Street but was not specifically opposed to the new alignment. He stated the curves at the end of the street were better for traffic and the safety of the school; he wanted to know the width of the entrance street to the school. r Altman stated the street was to the width required by the TMC, Risner stated the Design Review Report ,stated the street to be 25' with one side sidewalks. F Mr. Greenwood asked how the school district could carry out Condition #3 to remove the garage structure which was not on their property? Was this a condition which could be imposed on the developer: Staff answered the school district would have to make arrangements with the property owners. Herb Booke, 1709 Blankenship Road, West Linn, for Century 21, stated they would remove the garage if it was a condition , placed and further stated it would have to be removed anyway. Tepedino asked for a definition of other access routes to the school. After being shown by Mr. Altman, Mr. Tepedino, stated the 25' proposed entrance road to the school from Katherine ' would require much fill which could be in violation of the Tigard Municipal Code's statement on flood plain fill; he felt this current request for a realignment of Katherine St. was an attempt to mask the actual effects of the street construe, tion through the flood plain; the property is a marsh and a hydrographic analysis was necessary to preserve the health, safety, and welfare of the kids at the school, F, Wood stated the new alignment crosses the flood plain at the. same point as the old alignment, Tepedino said the old one was predicated on private agreements and the violation of the flood plain must not be allowed either with the new or old alignment Wood asked if the old alignment had, been approved? Altman stated it was a dedicated right-of-way and an application MINUTES TIGARD PLANNING COMMISSION May 2, 1978 Page 9 to the Planning Commission for a Flood Plain Fill Permit would be needed. Wood stated he agreed with Tepedino; they should give direction to the school and the proposed new route was a good one; they needed to determine whether to fill the flood plain or not. Tepedino stated the issue of flood plain fill should be dealt with first. Wood stated as they needed a flood plain fill permit from the P.C. they might as well okay one of the routes now. Tepedino stated the need for hydrological studies first. Popp- stated the right-of-way exists for the current desig- nation either the new or old alignment, and if fill would be needed they would definitely need a permit, but would they need a permit if they were merely crossing the flood plain? He continued to say it would be a separate item to be heard. He also asked if 251 would be adequate access to the school property. Brian inquired as to the exact steps needed if they were to approve this request and would they be able to review the access? Also what constituted fill? Altman read from the T.M.C. book defining flood plain fill. Quimby asked for the right to appeal the Design Review decision concerning the 25' access road. Greenwood asked where the limits of the flood plain are? Wood felt they should agree or disagree with the current proposal for a new alignment of Katherine Street. Tepedino disagreed with staff stating it was relevant and essential and critical now where the road goes and an engineering design was ne6essary. Wood made a motion for approval based on staff recommendations #1 and #2 with an additional item for the approval based only on Planning Commission findings that the proposed route is superior to the existing route and that the P.C. has not addressed the issue of whether the old or the new route will be appropriate in its' crossing of and possible fill of the flood plain and the approval of realignment does not involve any consideration of the entrance to the site. Brian seconded the motion. MINUTES TIGARD PLANNING COMMISSION May 2, 1978 Page 10 Quimby asked if the School District and Century 21 could get together to share the engineering costs and agreed with Tepedino. Brian agreed with Flood that the burden of the application and applicant to prove the flood plain. The motion passed 5-3. Sakata, Quimby and Tepedino voting no. Corliss, Wood, Rossman, Popp and Brian voting yes. 6.2 A request for a Similar Use Interpretation A request by Chuck Cota for a Similar Use Interpretation for a truck service, rental business in a Santry Tire Location on SW Pacific Highway. Commissioners agreed it was a similar use to the current use but would still have to be heard before the P.C. as a Conditional Use. COMMENTS ON MONTHLY REPORT FROM THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT Quimby stated 'Larry Hinton was using his Wedding Consultant business as a florist, having hired a full. time floral arranger which was not an allowable use for his Conditional Use Permit Application and approval by the Planning Commission. She asked that action be taken by the Planning Department. Commissioners requested a report by staff at the next meeting on the status of the Sierra subdivision application. Corliss announced the approval at the Design Review Board of the 84,000 sq. foot warehouse on Hunziker. Meeting was adjourned at 11:00 PM,
