ADJOURNMENT cwcca430 COUNCIL AGENDA -APRIL 30, 1990 -PAGE 2 TIGARD CITY COUNCIL M''F M XMUT'ES - APRIL 30, 1990 o Meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m. by Council President Valerie Johnson. 1. ROLL CALL: Present: Council President Valerie Johnson; Councilors Carolyn Eadon, Joe Kasten, and John Schwartz. Staff Present: Patrick Reilly, City Administrator; Gary Alfson, Transportation Engineer; Ron Bunch, Senior Planner; Ron Goodpaster, Chief of Police; Ed Murphy, Community Development Director; Tim Ramis, City Attorney; Catherine Wheatley, City Recorder; and Randy Wooley, City Engineer. 2. STUDY SESSION a. Community Development Director reviewed facts, figures and commonly asked questions with city council. Major topics reviewed included: o Description or area contained in the urban renewal district, along with current assessed valuation and miscellaneous facts and figures. o Tax increment financing-what it is; how it works. o Prior to any construction, should the Development Plan be approved by the voters, the Master Plan will be in place. o Public funding will be limited to the minimum necessary to make the project work. o The City is not financially at risk. o Franchise fees, from new development (assuming Development Plan is approved by the voters) will not be consider part of the "tax increment." Said funds will go to the general fund. b. City Engineer reviewed the construction schedule for Street Bond Projects (see chart filed with meeting material). C. Ted Kesey of the Oregon Department of Transportation reviewed two options for improvement to Highway 99 from Pfaffle Street to Commercial Street. The proposal is to widen the highway to 6 lanes (3 lanes each direction) plus a turning lane. Funding for the project would come from "Access Oregon" resources with $5.5 million as the estimated construction costs. Right-of-way acquisition would be funded through other sources. The schedule for the project calls for environmental assessment, public hearings, option selection, right-of-way acquisition, and, finally, construction in FY 1995. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINI= - APRIL 30, 1990 - PAGE 1 3 VISI`ICRS' A[A]A.: a. Bill Gross, 3019 S.W. Hampshire, Portland, Oregon, presented a petition signed by Bill Gross, Cal Woolery, Dan Anderson DBA Meadowbrook Development, Fred Moyer and Harry Schukart. The petitioners request Council to consider calling up a Director's Decision, Temporary Use Permit TUP 90-0002, for review or waive the appeal fee of $235. The Director approved a request for temporary use approval to allow spaces for parking of motor homes to house workers for the construction of Our Redeemer Lutheran Church from May 1, 1990 to October 31, 1990. The petitioners asserted that staff's approval did not reflect the intent of the Community Development Code's Chapter 18.140; Temporary Uses. b. Cal Woolery, Morning Hill Homeowners Association Board of Directors, stated that the homeowners association had filed a complaint with the Staff alleging that the Director's Decision was a violation of the C C and Rs. He requested that Council review this matter. Community Development Director reviewed for Council the Director's Decision approving the the use of RVs to house temporary workers during the construction of the church. He stated that an interpretation of the code had been requested by Nancy Robins. He noted that the necessary criteria required, such as safety issues and limited duration, were met. He reviewed a similar decision in 1985, which established a precedent for the same type of decision. He suggested that an appeal to the Planning Commission could be made and stated that the appeal period runs out at 3:30 on May 8th. After discussion, Council consensus was for Mr. Woolery and Mr. Gross to select one of two options: 1. Because NPO 7 had not been holding regular, quorum- attended meetings, the petitioners could approach another NPO to represent them on this issue. The Code makes provision for granting of a fee waiver by Council to an NPO. 2. Petitioners could submit their appeal with the required fee for a Planning Commission review. Should the Planning Commission overturn the Director's Decision, Council would waive the fee. 4. CX*ISENr AGENDA: 4.1 Approve City Council Minutes: March 26 and 28, 1990 Motion by Councilor Eadon, seconded by Councilor Kasten to approve the Consent Agenda. The motion passed by a unanimous vote of Council present. CITY COUNCIL MMING MINUTES - APRIL 30, 1990 - PAGE 2 f 5. PI EOMMG - L' FM `ffiVICRAM C[.OSUM OF S.W. NCEM OAIW.FA SiUMI! A request for a temporary closure of S.W. North Dakota Street. The approximate location of the closure request is: North of Anton Park Subdivision and at a point south of Springwood Drive. a. Public hearing was opened. 3 t b. Declarations or chanllenges: Councilors Kasten and Eadon noted they had had conversations with citizens concerning this matter. Both i Councilors indicated that they felt they could be impartial in considering the issue and would participate in the hearing process. i C. City Attorney stated that there is currently no procedure for temporary street closures. He advised that Council direct staff to develop an ordinance for temporary street closure, and that this particular street closure be processed through the hearing process established by the new ordinance. g City Engineer summarized the issue. He referred to a map showing the subject area where the temporary street closure is being proposed. The residents in the Anton Park area submitted a petition in February requesting that the Council schedule a time to again consider the closure of S. W. North Dakota Street. The petition k' requests that the temporary street closure be in effect until t Scholls Ferry Road is improved. He stated that the subject of reducing traffic in Anton Park Subdivision was brought up a year ago, with the decision to work on alternative procedures, resulting in temporary traffic islands. The measurements of speed and traffic volume indicated that the short islands did not have significant ` benefits. He reported that the City of Beaverton plans to align 125th Avenue k with 121st. The Scholls Ferry Road project is still in the ' completion of design and right-of--way acquisition stage and is scheduled to go to bid in Autumn of 1990, with construction expected to occur in 1991. He mentioned that a letter (provided in the k Council packet) from the fire district indicated concerns about the s safety of a street closure which would impede access by emergency vehicles. f 6 CITY COUNCIL MEETING MIIViTl'F5 -APRIL 30, 1990 -PAGE 3 K d. Public Testimony Proponents: o Jean Rohlf, 12430 S.W. North Dakota, reviewed past efforts by citizens in the Anton Park neighborhood to limit traffic volume, which in 1988 was measured at 2750 vehicles per day and which presently is measured at 3500 vehicles per day. She stated that Council concerns in the past involved: 1) support i by surrounding neighborhoods beyond Anton Park for the temporary street closure; 2) emergency access; and 3) traffic rerouting. She reported that neighborhood support for the closure has grown. She referred to the Conprehensive Plan which states that the minor collector is intended to receive f local traffic and deliver it onto major collector streets. She stated that S.W. North Dakota is not serving this function, but is acting as a connector between an arterial and a major collector resulting in a high percentage of cut through traffic in the neighborhoods. 's o Tan Hunt, 11105 S.W. 123rd Place, addressed the subject of emergency vehicle access if the street is closed. He stated that sidewalks and curbs, along with proper signage, could be designed to alleviate this problem. o Ward Coburn, 12280 S.W. North Dakota, and Marsha Smythe, 11185 S.W. 125th Place, presented a video tape and statistics x demonstrating traffic volumes on S.W. North Dakota. Mr. Coburn stated that the videos were taken during weekdays between 5 PM and 7PM. Ms. Smythe reported statistics of hourly volumes, stating that at peak times, 8 vehicles per minute or one car every 7 seconds is not in keeping with the neighborhood minor collector standards. She noted that 80% of the vehicles are speeding. She narrated as the video showed the poor visibility when a driver approaches the blind curve, and pointed out the dangerous situation where drivers coming around the curve cannot see a car pulling out of the driveway. o Jane Hunt, 11105 S.W. 123rd Place, expressed concern over loss in property values which she said has occurred because of poor planning. o Dave Overstreet, 11665 N.W. Dakota, requested the temporary closure be considered; and he advised that the impact of the F closure could be studied to determine whether a permanent closure would be feasible. He expressed concern that property values are being adversely affected as a direct result of the decline in liveability brought about by the increase in traffic. CITY COUNCIL MEETING M WJIES - APRIL 30, 1990 - PAGE 4 o Debbie Johnson 11100 S.W. Tony Court spoke about her concern for the safety of children crossing the street in the area. The blind curve causes poor visibility for drivers and pedestrians, and lack of sidewalks adds to the unsafe situation. o Tray Canaday, 12320 S.W. North Dakota, pointed out the high volume of traffic which does not originate in the Tigard area. o Tryg Waage, 11105 S.W. Tony Court, cited an instance where the City of Beaverton closed a street without public hearing after a pedestrian was killed in a traffic accident. He stated that he would like to see S.W. Dakota Street closed before a pedestrian accident occurs. o Estes Snedecor, 11150 S.W. 123rd Place, represented group of Anton Park neighbors. He recommended closing North Dakota Street because the senior citizens who frequently cross the street are not able to move as quickly as younger pedestrians. o Lynn Williams, 12398 S.W. Millview Court, stated her concern for the children playing and crossing the street to their school bus. o Mark Johnson, 11100 S.W. Tony Court, spoke about safety and liveability of the Anton Park area. He recounted the various meetings and discussions about the traffic problems on North Dakota, and asked Council to take action in favor of the 200 plus citizens who are in favor of closing the street. o Mary S. Lynn, 12360 S.W. S~mmiercrest, advised that the current situation is dangerous for the children in the area due to the high percentage of traffic exceeding the posted 25 mph. Opponents: o Bob Larsell, 12040 N.W. North Dakota, requested that Council disregard the temporary closure arguments, stating that the street was designed to be a through-street at the time the subdivision was developed. He pointed out that the closure of this street would set a precedent which would require Council consideration for closure of other streets in the City. He commented that the traffic levels currently fall well within the minor collector designation. He brought up the need for easy access for police and other emergency vehicles. CITY COUNCIL NEErrNG MLNNUPES - APRIL 30, 1990 - PAGE 5 o Jerry Coursolle, 12215 S.W. Summer Street, agreed with the City Attorney that it is important to establish a policy regarding the closing of streets. He pointed out that there are traffic problems in all areas of Tigard, noting that Anton Park is not an exception. He suggested looking at some of the other options which have not been tried in the Anton Park area. For example, he mentioned stop signs, cross walks and other traffic control measures. o Paul Bloom, 12530 Glacier Lilly Circle, Tigard, presented a petition signed by the residents of Summer Lake Development opposing the closure of North Dakota. He expressed his personal concern about the importance of access for emergency vehicles. He also noted that the high rate of property sales in the area indicates that the values are not being adversely affected by the through-street traffic. o Charles Bodford, 12045 S.W. North Dakota, said traffic problems make it difficult at times to back out of his driveway, but stated he is opposed to closing North Dakota. o Richard L. Ross, 12055 S.W. Hillhouse Drive, opposes the closing of North Dakota because he will lose 670 square feet of his property to make a turn lane at the time 121st is widened. He said that closing the street would not make the traffic situation better. o Marianne Bither, 11135 S.W. Tony Court, carmnented that she was misquoted concerning information she attributed to Chief Goodpaster. e. coma pity Development Director advised that staff is opposed to closure of North Dakota. He stated the inprovements planned on some other streets will help the situation on North Dakota Street. He explained Staff's reconmendation not to close North Dakota Street due to concern over access by emergency vehicles; and he also advised that closure would only shift the traffic to other residential streets. He referred to the Comprehensive Plan which designates North Dakota as a minor collector. f. City Recorder read a letter from Valerie Pappas, 11375 S.W. North Dakota, stating her desire to have North Dakota closed because of traffic problems. City Recorder read a letter from H. Fehrenbacher, 11685 S.W. North Dakota Street, cited traffic danger to bikers and pollution from vehicles as primary reasons he would like to see the street closed temporarily until inprovements to Scholls Ferry Road are made. CITY COUNCIL MEEIING MINUTM - APRIL 30, 1990 - PAGE 6 g. Chief of Police recounted his participation in the study of traffic safety and volume problems on North Dakota, noting that he believes the neighborhood has a significant problem. The volume is of concern, but the need for access by emergency vehicles is of greater importance. Police response to either Summer lake or North Dakota could be delayed because of the closed street. He reported that he surveyed other police chiefs in the areas around Portland, and only three out of twenty-three indicated that they would consider a road closure as a means of solving this type of problem. h. Councilor Schwartz questioned the traffic volume figures. City Engineer advised that last fall the volume was measured at 3700 cars per day. He indicated that a study was made to estimate traffic volume assuming tie street were closed, stating that just under a thousand cars a day might use that intersection. i. Public Hearing closed. j. Consideration by Council: o Councilor Eadon asked City Engineer whether or not there were other options to relieve traffic problems in the subject area. k. Council President re-opened public hearing for discussion. o City Engineer outlined several options including extending the islands, stating that the short islands did not significantly reduce speed. He discussed other ideas for using traffic buttons and narrow lanes to reduce speeds. Councilor Schwartz asked about the possibility of stop signs in several key locations. City Engineer explained several reasons why stop signs don't work for speed control, citing a high number of violations and drivers who speed up in between stop signs. Council President asked City Engineer if there was a similar 4 type of major street along Scholls Ferry taking traffic from Beaverton and emptying directly onto a street on the Tigard: side of Schools Ferry. City Engineer advised that the proposed Murray Road extension is intended to carry this traffic, according to the master plan. i Councilor Eadon and City Engineer discussed the proposed street, S. W. Anton Drive, which has not yet been constructed, and considered Anton Drive as a possibility in the future to intersect with S.W. 121st to offset traffic volume. 1. Public hearing closed. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MnRYIES - APRIL 30, 1990 - PAGE 7 E' 4g, r M. Consideration by Council: o Councilor Eadon asked City Attorney to clarify the Council's authority to amend the policy concerning temporary closure of a street. City Attorney advised drafting an ordinance and holding public hearings and review of comprehensive Transportation Plan were all within Council's authority. Councilor Schwartz expressed concern that a decision to close the street would inevitably invite other requests fran neighborhoods who have similar traffic problems. He reFcnmended developing a policy prior to making any decisions to close the street. o Councilor Kasten reviewed the safety issues brought up by proponents and opponents. He also expressed concern about re-routing traffic volume to other neighborhoods. He suggested that Ash Street is a good example of a permanent closure that isn't working. He referenced testimony and stated that renters and home owners have equal rights. o Councilor Eadon advised she did not believe it would be possible to close a street temporarily and re-open it later. If closed, the street should remain closed and alternatives selected. She also agreed that closing North Dakota would automatically push traffic onto other routes which are not designed to accommodate heavier traffic. She recommended not permitting further development in this area until good planning of traffic routes has taken place. She stated her primary concern was to get the Anton Park traffic speed problems under control. She further recommended developing a policy to address better transportation planning within internal subdivision streets. ' 6 i o Council President discussed the reasons she favored temporarily closing S.W. North Dakota. She observed that the intersection at Scholls Ferry and North Dakota f is unique. She pointed out the ill-conceived traffic pattern and said it represents poor planning. She referred to the connection as a mistake. The street will continue to take far more traffic than it was designed for until the City of Beaverton establishes a street that connects 121st to Sorrento. She expressed concern about the safety issues. CITY COUNCIL MEE'PIIdG MIN[T.PES -APRIL 30, 1990 -PAGE 8 E P' E" Motion by Councilor Schwartz, seconded by Councilor Kasten, to uphold staff's recommendation; S.W. North Dakota should not be temporarily closed. The motion carried by a 3-1 vote; Councilor Johnson voted "No." 6. CN OF PARS RESIRICI*IC~T CN GAIU = Snow - a DINANCE NO. 90- 32 A request to restrict parking during certain hours on additional portions of Garrett Street. a. City Engineer reviewed parking restrictions currently prohibiting parking on Garrett Street near Pacific Highway from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. He stated that the petition (see Council packet) requests that the s. parking restrictions be extended to other portions of Garrett Street. He referred to a map of the subject area. He explained the need for restriction due to new building construction of the Tigard Medical Center which has displaced employee parking; and the t. employees are now using Garrett Street to park their vehicles. He rimed approval of the ordinance. b. Council discussion followed. Councilor Schwartz asked city Engineer if there were sidewalks along the portion of Garrett where parking is to be restricted. City Engineer confirmed that no sidewalks exist in the subject area. F: C. Council President asked for comments from interested citizens. o Laurie Jensen, 9995 S.W. Garrett Street, reported that the s street is not receiving increased traffic volume. She stated that there are alternatives which can be used by the medical Center employees, but they are not using the alternative spaces- 0 Discussion of code requirements for parking followed. Community Development Director provided background of code and stated that in 1983 the standard was changed to one space for every 200 square feet; and the new building was evaluated under the new code. The medical center has 101 spaces, which should be adequate, but would not support the entire complex. o Steve Jensen, 9995 S.W. Garrett Street, referred to a City Council meeting several years ago during which the parking problems around the medical center were discussed. He expressed concern that putting the signs up in the subject area would only result in people parking farther up the street. C CITY COUNCIL MEEr1ffG MINUTES - APRIL 30, 1990 - PAGE 9 Oh d. Council comments were made. Councilor Eadon, having previously lived in the subject area, stated she has been familiar with the Garrett Street parking problems for some time. She asked Community Development Director whether street parking was considered as part of the spaces required by code. Ccmmmity Development Director stated that street parking does not count. Councilor Eadon expressed concern over whether the original building met code for parking spaces. She agreed that the parking will most likely move farther up the street, once the parking restriction signs are posted- e. Motion by Councilor Kasten, seconded by Councilor Schwartz, calling for the reading of the ordinance: ORDINANCE 90-12 - AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TIGARD MUNICIPAL CODE 10.28.125, PROHIBITING PARKING DURING CERTAIN HOURS ON A PORTION OF S.W. GARREIT STREET. Discussion followed clarifying the area being considered. The motion was approved by a unanimous vote of Council present. 7. MCK-AGENDA ITIE S - None. 8.

AREA: The area included in the urban renewal district encompasses 186 gross acres. About 121 acres are buildable. About 40 acres are vacant, including about 13 acres in the flood plain. ASSESSED VALUE: The true cash value on January 1, 1989 was $74,791,568. The Plan states that the non-developed portion of the area has a current property base of less than $5 million. PERCENTAGE VALUE TO CITY AS A WHOLE: The value within the district equals 5.26% of the assessed value of the City as a whole. PERCENTAGE VALUE COMPARED TO SCHOOL DISTRICT AS A WHOLE: The value within the proposed district is 3.52% of the value of School District 23J as a whole. EXISTING HOUSING: There are currently 84 single family houses, and 178 multi- family units, within the proposed district. EXPECTED INCREASE IN ASSESSED VALUE: It is projected that the assessed value will increase to approximately $475,428,000 by 2001, an increase of about $400,000,000. ejm/prespark.fac MEMORANDUM CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON TO: Mayor Edwards and Members of the City Council FROM: Ed Murphy, Community Development Director DATE: April 30, 1990 SUBJECT: President's Parkway - Questions and Answers We have received many questions regarding the President's Parkway Development Plan from interested citizens. Following is a list of the twelve most often asked questions, and what I feel is an appropriate response to each: 1. Why is it necessary to create an urban renewal district? Couldn't this area be developed without it? It was determined by the City Council that this area would not develop to anywhere near its full potential using conventional zoning and financing techniques. It would be very difficult to have private developers pay for all of the necessary and desired public improvements in the area, including Highway 217 improvements, Greenburg/217 interchange improvements, the creation of a large public park, as well as the interior street and utility improvements. In addition, the Council decided that the area should be planned and developed in a comprehensive manner, rather than have it developed in a piecemeal fashion. So, in order to attract high quality private development, accomplish many of the public objectives for the area, and make sure that the area is developed under a detailed master plan, the Council created an Urban Renewal District. 2. What happens after the election? After the election, the more detailed planning process begins. Studies of the traffic impacts, the development proposals and timelines, the wetlands and flooding issues, the design guidelines and development standards and many other aspects need to be analyzed, reviewed by citizens and elected officials and finalized. In addition, negotiations with the developer(s) and the school district, as well as other agencies, must take place. No private development activity is to occur until the master planning process is completed. 3. now will citizens be involved in the process after the election? Citizen involvement in the planning process is absolutely essential to ensure a finished product that will be sensitive to the surrounding neighborhood, encourage the type of development that will be a showcase for the City, and create the public amenities that are environmentally C sensitive as well as being enjoyable for the general public. Citizens may be involved in a variety of ways. In addition to the Planning Commission and the President's Parkway Advisory Commission, citizens may be involved through their Neighborhood Planning Organization or Community Planning organization, or by serving on special task forces that w4,Li. likely be established. Further, any adoption of any of the components of the master plan, or any change in the zone, will take place at public hearings. 4- 4. What are the boundaries - are the current Lincoln Center buildings included ni in the district? The boundaries are generally Highway 217, Greenburg Road, Locust Street and Hall Boulevard. The current Lincoln Center buildings are included in the district. 5. Where will the new school be located? The School District has not identified a site for the relocation of Metzger Grade School. The School District has stated that it will be located in another part of the Metzger attendance area. If the School District decides for some reason not to move that school, then the Master Plan for the President's Parkway development area will - accommodate the school in its present location. 6. Who will pay for improvements? The improvements will be paid for by a combination of funds. The Urban Renewal Agency, using tax increment funds, will pay for a significant proportion of the necessary public improvements. However, it is anticipated that funds will be requested of other agencies (Federal, State and County) to assist with a portion of the public improvements. In addition, it is likely that private sector developer(s) will pay for a portion of the public improvements. 7. How does Tax Increment Financing work? Tax Increment Financing works as follows: Property taxes paid on any newly created assessed value within the urban renewal area are used to pay for improvements within that area for a period of time. Urban renewal agencies are able to borrow money to pay for the public improvements, pledging the future tax revenue to re-pay the debt. The lender takes the full risk on the loan, not the property owners within the City. Since the lender takes the full risk, they will not loan any funds to the Urban Renewal Agency unless private development is certain to take place once the public improvements are made. At the end of the prescribed time period, the newly created assessed value becomes available to all the normal taxing agencies, thereby allowing them to reduce their individual tax rates at that time. The more assessed value that is created, the greater the tax rate reduction at the end of the ! program. 8. Will my taxes go up? The urban renewal district is not a taxing authority, and does not have the authority to levy property taxes. How much your taxes are in any given year is a function of two factors: 1. The authorized levies or tax bases of each of the taxing agencies; 2. The assessed value of each of the taxing agencies. Under the assumption that the new assessed value created by the urban renewal program would not have been there without the program, there is no impact on the tax rate as a result of this program until the end of the program, at which time the newly created value will become available to all the taxing agencies, causing a reduction in the over-all tax rate. 9. Will property that is purchased in the area be given to Trammell Crow by the City? It is anticipated that Trammell-Crow (and perhaps other developers) will purchase whatever land they need for private development themselves. Should the Urban Renewal Agency be asked to acquire land for private redevelopment by a developer, and the Agency is agreeable to that, then the urban renewal plan will have to be formally amended in a public hearing, and the plans for the acquisition and disposition of the property made publically known. 10. If I own property in the urban Renewal District and am forced to sell, will I be paid for commercial or residential value? It is anticipated that private developers will acquire whatever land they need through private negotiations with individual property owners. It is also anticipated that the City would acquire whatever land it may need for public purposes (such as streets and parkland) through negotiations with individual property owners. Should the City be unable to reach a settlement with a property owner through negotiations, the City does have the authority to acquire property through "Eminent Domain", in which case the City is required to pay the fair market value for the property. "Fair market value" is determined at the time of purchase, through an appraisal of the property. The appraiser would review other similar recent sales in the area, and would determine fair market value based on those sales, and probable use of the property. If the probable use is commercial, and other recent properties have sold for commercial values, the appraisal would reflect that. 11. W11.1 the zoning be changed if the Urban Renewal District is not formed? The City has already changed the Comprehensive Plan designation to "Commercial-Professional", except for those properties already designated as General Commercial, Neighborhood Commercial or Medium Density Residential. No rezoning of any of the properties within Urban Renewal District (with a few minor exceptions) may take place until a master plan ,r MAMMA is completed and adopted by the city Council. If the Urban Renewal District is not formed, the city Council will hold a public hearing to determine what the Comprehensive Plan Map and text pertaining to this area should be. No rezoning of any of this property would take place until the public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan took place. 12. When will the Urban Renewal District be terminated? The President's Parkway Development Plan limits the authority to initiate projects to sixteen years from the effective date of the plan. As soon as the projects are completed, and the debts incurred to complete those projects have been retired, then the District will come to an end. br/EM:PresPark.Q&A E i 4 t[ st i E t r 4 t J I, 4 h S i Y I S C 5udy Sess~"~_ CONSTRUCTIVA) =Sc~gau0~ ~oR : ,YM54T. 130AID YRNEGT.5 %isa /989 190 /99/ Phase I phase z _j i i u~ll~~Ies ; s'fief Improve.

North Dakota Street be closed temporarily at the north boundary of Anton Park Subdivision? INFORMATION SUMMARY In February, residents of the Anton Park area submitted a petition requesting that the Council schedule a time to again consider the closure of SW North Dakota Street at the north boundary of Anton Park Subdivision. The petition suggests that the temporary closure would continue until widening of Scholls Ferry Road is completed. The widening of Scholls Ferry is scheduled to be completed in 1991. April 30 is the date set for a Council hearing on the requested street closure. Notices of the hearing have been sent to petitioners and to others who have indicated an interest in the proposal. In recent weeks, the Council has received numerous letters both in support of the street closure and in opposition to closure. The authors of these letters have been notified of the hearing. Attached is a brief history of North Dakota Street at Anton Park and previous actions regarding traffic concerns in that neighborhood. The City Attorney's office advises that legal procedure for a temporary closure of a public street is not well defined. A temporary closure for an extended period, as proposed,. could be considered to be a lanrl-use action. If the street is to be closed, the attorneys suggest that ordinances be prepared to clarify the process. Additional legal research may be required. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 1. Direct City Attorney to prepare ordinance necessary for street closure. 2. Deny the request for closure. FISCAL IMPACT There would be a small cost (approximately $500) for installation of barricades and signing if the street is closed. SUGGESTED ACTION After extensive review and discussion of the issues, the City Engineer and the Police Chief recommend that the street not be closed. This recommendation is based on concern about emergency access to Anton Park and adjoining neighborhoods, the attached letter from the Fire Marshall, concern that closure would divert traffic to other residential collector streets (such as Walnut, 121st, and Springwood), and the fact that North Dakota Street is designated as a collector street and constructed to collector street standards (i.e., designed to carry somewhat higher traffic volumes and traffic speeds than a local residential street). br/Anton.rw t. a HISTORY OF SW NORTH DAKOTA STREET AT ANTON PARK SUBDIVISION In 1984 applications were approved for construction of the Meadowcreek Apartments and for Anton Park Subdivision. On both projects, conditions of approval required the construction of an extension of SW North Dakota Street to connect to Scholls Ferry Road. Aerial photo records indicate that the road was open to through traffic by March of 1986. In 1986 a traffic signal was installed at the North Dakota/Scholls Ferry intersection under an agreement between Tigard, Beaverton, and the State Highway Division. In February, 1988, the City Engineer and Police Chief met with Anton Park residents regarding traffic concerns. As a result of that meeting, directed police patrols were implemented, additional signing was installed, a Neighborhood Watch program was begun, and truck restrictions were adopted. In April, 1988, the Council received a petition requesting that the street be closed at the north boundary of Anton Park. After receiving a staff report reviewing the history of the street and possible options, the Council requested review by the Planning Commission, the Transportation Advisory Committee, and NPO V. Upon receipt of the recommendations of these advisory groups, the t Council held a hearing in February, 1989. Following the hearing, the Council voted (4-1) to deny the request for street closure. The Council directed that ! other methods of reducing the volume and speed of traffic be tried. Last spring, several meetings were held to explore methods that might be tried. After considerable discussion, it appeared that some of the options (such as additional signing) would not be effective. Other options (such as pavement markings) were not acceptable to the residents. The only option that survived as a possibility was the idea of installing traffic islands to better control traffic and restrict the number of lanes available at the 121st Avenue intersection. In April the decision was made to install some traffic islands on a temporary trial basis. The Anton Park residents felt strongly that the temporary islands should not be formed with barrels, barricades or similar devices. Therefore, the islands were constructed of extruded curbs on top of the existing asphalt pavement. To reduce costs, the islands were restricted to a few trial areas. All costs of installing the trial islands were paid by the City. Based on traffic and speed counts made before and after installation of the islands, the islands to not appear to have caused any significant changes in the volume or speed of traffic on North Dakota Street. More extensive islands might lead to greater reductions in traffic speeds but would be unlikely to result in much change in traffic volumes. The effectiveness of the islands and other traffic issues were discussed at a neighborhood meeting in November 1989. Following that meeting, the residents of Anton Park requested that the temporary islands remain in place. Improvements on other streets may reduce traffic problems in Anton Park. Completion of improvements to 121st Avenue in 1990 and to Scholls Ferry Road in 1991 are expected to reduce the amount of traffic using North Dakota Street. The City of Beaverton continues to explore a proposal to realign 125th Avenue to intersect Scholls Ferry Road at 121st Avenue, rather than its current intersection at North Dakota Street. rw/anton C` t t P TUALATIN VALLEY FIRE & RESCI 00 AND BEAVERTON FIRE DEPARTMEN 4755 S.W.

Box 23397 Tigard, Oregon 97223 Re: Closure of North Dakota Street Near Entrance of Meadows Creek Apartment Complex Dear Chief Goodpaster: In responding to your request which we appreciate very much regarding closure of above captioned street, the fire department's position is that streets not be closed to circulating and through traffic. Fire department personnel and emergency vehicles respond from many locations, not just from the fire station, as engine company and emergency medical crews have other responsibilities when not on a emergency response call. It is difficult at times to tell where the emergency equipment will be in order to respond into a particular area. Placing barricades across streets or closure of streets could increase emergency response times significantly. When dealing with a medical emergency situation such as heart attacks, this could be the balance between life and death for the patient. In conclusion, this department highly recommends that through streets are not closed to traffic. Thank you again for your inquiry. If I can be of any further assistance please feel free to call.

To: CITY OF TIGARD CITY COUNCIL p From: JEREMY COURSOLLE /l Date: 04/18/90 ' Subject: PETITION FAVORING STREET CLOSURE-LETTER TO CITY COUNCIL: Honorable Mayor and City Council City of Tigard-City Hall 13125 SW Hall Blvd. Tigard, Oregon 97224 Honorable Mayor and City Council Members: I am writing this letter to you regarding a petition that is being circulated by Mary Ann Bither requesting residences in the NW Tigard area to support a street closure for the Anton Park portion of SW North Dakota St. Mrs. Bither discussed this issue with me on Saturday April 14th and based on what she told me, I believe she is misrepresenting the facts and misleading the residences that she has talked to outside the Anton Park development. The statements she made to me are as follows: 1. She claims that the newer portion of SW North Dakota St. was intended to be a closed street and that it was not opened until after homes construction was started. I had an opportunity to talk with Nancy Robbins, an active member of NPO 7 and Liz Newton of the Planning Department and both of them relayed to me that SW North Dakota was never a closed street nor was it ever intended as such. 2. She claims that SW North Dakota St. as a "minor collector" street was only intended to accommodate 2,000 vehicle trips per day. According to the City of Tigard's Comprehensive Plan "minor collector" streets are designed to accommodated 3,000 vehicle trips per day. 3. She also claims that the Police Chief was "supporting and encouraging the residences of Anton Park to request a street closure." Again, I spoke with Liz Newton this morning and she told me that the Police Chief was sympathetic to their concerns, but was not supportive of closing SW North Dakota St. It is very feasible for people to sign a petition regarding traffic if they are told that the Police Chief is supporting the matter: especially if these residences are relying on a person with some standing within the City's governmental structure. Obviously, the issue of closing SW North Dakota St. has become a heated emotional issue, however, I find it intolerable that many residences have become mislead based on Mary Ann Bither's attempts to falsify the facts. It Is my recommendation to the City Council that this petition not be allowed as permisable evidence during the public hearing because of Mary Ann Bither's presentations to the residences outside Anton Park that signed this petition. If you have any questions of me prior to the public hearing on April 30th, please contact me at 620-8831. Thank you.

W. kaliZ ,k--OtaK~tw z ~1v t CITY COUNCIL April 30,1990 TIGARD, OREGON THE ANTON PARK PROBLEM OF TRAFFIC ON THEIR STEET IS NOT ANY DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD. THE NEED OF HAVING A NETWORK OF ROUTES SO THAT ALL PEOPLE SHARE IN MOVING TRAFFIC THROUGH THE CITY IS IMPORTANT TO THE LIVABILTY OF THE CITY AS A WHOLE. TO CLOSE NORTH DOKATA STREET WOULD CUT OFF SOME OF THE NETWORK OF ROADS THAT HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE CITY CENTER. NORTH DOKATA CONECTS WITH TIGARD STREET WHICH LEADS STRAIGHT TO THE CENTRAL BUSSINESS DISTRICT. TO CLOSE NORTH DOKATA WOULD CAUSE OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS TO WANT TO DO THE SAME THING. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE COMMON GOOD OF THE CITY BECAUSE THE PLAN TO PROVIDE GOOD ACCESS FOR ALL IS BASED ON A NETWORK OF THROUGH STREETS. TO CLOSE NORTH DOKATA WOULD PUT A STRAIN UPON LOCAL ACCESS t` OF THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS. THIS COULD MEAN TIME LOST IN A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION.

At several meetings regarding traffic on SW North Dakota Street, it has been stated that no traffic accidents have been reported where the police have been called. We wish to correct this impression. In 1987 a car was rear-ended across from our residence, 12240 SW North Dakota and the police were called. It involved a drunk driver. There have been four mailbox units hit and knocked out of their cement anchors. Incidentally, the mailperson on our route has kept a list of speeders' license plate numbers in the course of his deliveries. He expresses concern for the safety of children whom he sees crossing the street. There have been three accidents at Tony Court, all duly reported. In November, 1988, a motorcyclist travelling at a high rate of speed collided with a car. He suffered a broken leg and emerg- ency/police vehicles responded as the enclosed pictures show. This same cyclist could be identified by residents as having caused concern over his frequent use of SW North Dakota at high rates of speed, particularly as he negotiated the curve at Tony Court. Needless to say, the noise of his cycle was very object- ionable. Unreported incidents such as thirty feet of skid marks in front of our home when a child on a bicycle was narrowly missed by a car, the near-misses involving children, and animals killed by passing cars give rise to the concern that someday we will see a fatality on this street. C r We wanted to bring those incidents to your attention as part of our continuing concern for the safety and livability of this and surrounding neighborhoods. We join the many residents of Anton Park and adjoining neighborhoods in asking for a temporary closure of SW North Dakota south of Springwood Drive until such time as planned improvements have been made to Scholls Ferry Road.

Most of Garrett Street is a narrow two-lane residential street. When vehicles are parked on both sides of the street, there is only one narrow lane available for moving traffic. A hill crest west of Creamer Drive makes it difficult to see oncoming traffic in the narrow lane. Prohibition of parking would improve traffic operations and traffic safety. s In the area where new parking regulations are proposed, all of the residences abutting Garrett Street are represented by signatures on the petition. Recent weekday parking along Garrett Street appears to be mostly by employees of the Tigard Medical Center. A Medical Center representative has indicated that alternative off-street parking is available for the employees through agreements between the Medical Center and other nearby property owners. - ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 1. Approve the attached ordinance prohibiting parking as requested in the petition. 2. Amend the ordinance. 3. Allow parking to continue. FISCAL IMPACT $250 estimated cost for installation of signs. SUGGESTED ACTION Staff recommends approval of the attached ordinance. rw/garr RECEIVED AP a 1990 P E T I T I O N CDfr MUNP DEVELOPMENT We would like to request that the City of Tigard post NO PARKING between the hours of 7:00 AM and 6:00 PM on Garrett Street from the existing NO PARKING sign (from Pacific highway) east to Cresmer Street or to a location where parked cars will not create a safety hazard (as determined by the City Engineer) for pedestrians and two way traffic. This request is being made because the Tigard Family Medical Center is constructing a new building which has displaced their employee parking. These employees are now using Garrett Street (a local residential street) to park their cars. This makes it impossible for two-way traffic to use this portion of Garrett Street and because of the grade it is difficult to see approaching vehicles. Also, this has created a safety hazard for the large number of pedestrians who walk this area including the children who are let off the bus at Barnum Drive who walk this area to reach their homes. It is also our understanding that even when construction is completed there will not be enough parking spaces to accommodate all of their employees even though they have met Code requirements for parking. WE FURTHER REQUEST THAT PARKING REQUIREMENTS IN THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE BE REVIEWED TO PREVENT THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE.
