This larger wipe sizes was not included in the estimate at the time the budget recommendation was made. Higher costs were also attributed to difficult site access. Mr. Wooley advised there were no other projects scheduled for sanitary sewer system development dollars. He recommended that the project be funded as requested. • Review of Agenda Item No. 4 - 130th/Winterlake Project rMayor Schwartz advised that he would limit public testimony to 10 minutes per side for a spokesperson representing the opponents and proponents.

Councilor Scheckla requested that the City Engineer, when presenting the staff report, highlight the history and give detailed background information on this issue.

Mr. Wooley reviewed the history of the planning for the transportation noting that the subject road connection was placed in the 1983 Comprehensive Plan and that most of the houses in the area were built after the Comprehensive Plan was adopted. (See Memorandum dated July 38, 1994 from Randy Wooley to Bill Monahan regarding the 130th/Winterlake connection which is on file with the Council packet material.) In addition, the route is shown on the Transportation Map. Mr. Wooley explained that the road would be constructed where the foot bridge is now located. Also contained in the packet are the conclusions, which are, written a summary format, of the traffic engineer's report. Mr. Wooley referenced some of the concerns of individuals living in the area. With regard to wetland issues, he noted that a permit would be needed. In order to obtain &IND a permit, certain conditions must be met. The staff recommendation was to proceed with the design. This project has been part of the Comprehensive Plan for over ten years. Development has occurred based on this connection. Unless new evidence is presented to warrant a Comprehensive Plan change, then the connection should be made. There was no representative present or comments from the Fire District. The City of Tigard Police Department agreed that the connection would represent an improvement to response time for the area. It would also improve access for patrol of the park area. Staff further advised that the wetland impact appears to be minor and could be mitigated. Funding would be derived from Transportation Im=a_t Fees (TIF). City Engineer noted there would be opportunity for neighborhood review of design and for input with regard to mitigation of impacts. Councilor Scheckla asked clarifying questions of Mr. Ton Lancaster, the Traffic Engineer consultant.

Mr. Gerking summarized the points of opposition (also, please see letter dated August 8, 1994, which is on file with the meeting packet material this letter was signed by both Mr. Gerking and mr. Cicero). Mr. Cicero pointed out key items on a map of the area and also offered comment to support the oppositions's opinions as stated in the letter. The primary concerns included: • conflicting ,indications of the future extension Qi:z30th/Winterlake and whether or not this extension would be built concern with design of the neighborhood which was not appropriate for a "minor collector" street • "Direct access to minor collectors from individual residences shall be discouraged," per the Comprehensive Plan.

Summarizing paragraphs "The 130th/Winterlake connection will create more problems than it will solve. It compromises a class 1 jurisdictional wetlands, opens the door to criminal activity within the park, creates cut-through traffic from outside the neighborhood, increases the danger for people using the park, bisects and inner community and negatively impacts the community atmosphere that now exists. According to Mr. Wooley, past planning has been poor. It is time to responsibly address alternatives that are consistent with today's thinking on neighborhoods and people, in contrast to concrete and collectors!" A photograph was also included with the above- referenced letter illustrating that no sign "future connection" was on the barricade in January 1993.

Greg Gerking, 11149 S.W. Eschman Way, Tigard, OR 97223 (see letter on file with the Council packet material from Greg Gerking to Mayor Schwartz and Council members). Ms. Gerking's comments were in opposition to the 130th/Winterlake connection. Ms. Gerking stated that: "I wish to go on record as taking exception to statements made by Mayor Schwartz at the July 12th Council meeting on the basis of prejudicial remarks as well a direct contradiction of CIP prioritization process regarding citizen input according to Goal #1 of Oregon's Statewide Planning Goals." Ms. Gerking's letter outlined the basis for her statement above. Ms. Gerking noted that the public should have the opportunity to be involved in the evaluation of Comprehensive Land Use Plans; however, she advised that in the City of Tigard this process is very confusing and contradictory. Ms. Gerking described the CIT process on the prioritization of the Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) priority list with regard to the 130th/Winterlake connection. She expressed concerns that the input from the CIT's with regard to the CIP list was not considered by the Planning commission.

With regard to the argument of providing better access for emergency vehicles, then why was this road not constructed four years ago? Mr. Gioia noted concerns with increased gang activity. He questioned the economics of the road connection. He also referred to issues with regard to the wetlands. Mr. Gioia urged that the connection be removed from the plan. • Rose Cicero, 11127 S.W. Eschman Way, Tigard, OR 97223 (several other individuals gave up their testimony time in order to give Ms. Cicero a longer time period to present her remarks). (See August 7, 1994, letter from Ms. Cicero to Mayor Schwartz and the Tigard City Council which is on file with the Council packet material.) Ms. Cicero's comments were in opposition to the 130th/Winterlaks connection. She noted the extension would be detrimental: • to the neighborhoods around Summerlake Park • Sumaaerlake Park • wetlands adjacent to the park For further detail of Ms. Cicero's comments, please see the August 7 letter referred to above. This letter also was submitted with supporting documentation (attachments) and photographs. Ms. Cicero noted disagreement with the public comment process. She advised that the citizens have been waiting to be able to express their concerns to the City Council. She objected to the time limitation of public comment. • Ron Brady, 13212 S.W.' Shore Drive, Tigard, OR 97223, advised he was opposed to the extension. He noted the park was a good park. He said he had not talked to anyone one that was in favor of the proposed project. Increased traffic, which would result with construction of the connection, would cause the area to be "unlivable."' He noted concerns with decreased property values.

Karls was in opposition to, the connection and noted some of the traffl c s-~;a~dy elements. He also advised of concerns wi.tlh. imp-acts to wildlife. He asked the Council to consider the value of the neighborhoods and the children in the area. He noted the connection was not "connection"; rather, it was a "divider.,' Mr. Karls advised that "children were more valuable than convenience." • Keith Ketterling, 10704 S.W. 127th Court, Tigard, OR 97223, testified in opposition to the connection. He noted that if the road were completed, that it would create cut-through traffic which would be doing so to avoid traffic lights. He said he took issue with the traffic study with regard to travel times. In addition, he noted concerns with the speed of cut-through traffic. Mr. IKetterling advised of the importance of listening to both sides of the issue. He expressed concerns with gang activity if the road connection was built. He said it would be easier for gangs to get in and out of the area. He had safety concerns for children in the play areas including the fears of child abduction which would be easier if the connection was in place. Mr. Ketterling referred to the quality of all the City Parks; citing specifically Cook Park as an example.

He cited the North Dakota Street as an example of problems with cut-through traffic. He also noted that children will be walking to school from the area and advised of safety concerns. He also noted concerns with regard to Hawksbeard Street. • Sue Sei'lke, 11755 S.W. 114th Place, Tigard, Oregon, 97223, advised she was against the connection and referred to her credentials as a wildlife biologist.

She also referred to the process that the City would need to follow in order to proceed with regard to disturbing natural resources. She cited areas where impact of development, creating a cumulative effect, where activities have occurred (i.e., Costco). She suggested that the dollars allocated for 130th/Winterlake connection be used for pedestrian access. Other means of transportation should be explored. ® Mike Meredith, 12825 S.W. Glacier Lily Circle, Tigard, OR 97223, noted he was opposed to the extension. He advised that most of his reasons of opposition have already been presented in testimony. He noted concerns with the type of road designated for the area. He noted the Summerlake area has a quality of quietness at this time. • Krystin Love, 12930 S.W. Glacier Lily, Tigard, Oregon, 97223, presented a letter to the Tigard City Council which is on file with the Council packet material.

Tamara Lane, Tigard, OR 97223 advised that bridge would adversely affect the vista of tote sunset. fie listsd concerns with the traffic study and said the connection would cause problems for the park. The Tualatin Frills Recreation District is putting in ballfields and other facilities in the area (Conestoga). 'If the road is opened up, it will do more to create a potential "cruise-zone." Concerns about easy access to the park will be aggravated. He said he feels strongly that there will be a lot of cross over traffic coming through the area to the west and south of the lake if the connection is put through; this will be quite detrimental.

Council remarks: • Councilor Scheckla's points were as follows: Acknowledged the viewpoints of individuals on both sides of the issue. - Decisions must work for the whole community. Referred to the development of plans and efforts to satisfy all those affected. Referred to the Comprehensive Plan, development which has occurred since then, and the improvements made to the park. The Plan has been in place for 11 years with no attempts to amend with regard to this connection. We..."must allow for traffic to move somehow... - Issue should be "safety for the young people," and he said he thought there was a way to protect this. M~ .TM CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 9, 1994 - PAGE 17 ebil t ism s}~; k.M A plan should be deve'll apr, d try. mal,;s this connection attractive to everyone.. di maid input from that was said at this heari.n ohuulds be utilized, so that wildlife habitat will not be ruined. For safety reasons and for traffic movement, he said he thought "things may be able to be worked out. c' Advised this was a "tough decision," noting that he must represent the whole community when considering this issue. - SumT4merlake is a City park which has been used as a neighborhood park. (Note: There were comments of disagreement/dissension from the audience. Mayor Schwartz called for order and requested people refrain from speaking out while the Council makes their comments.) Councilor Scheckla°s comments (continued).... - Reiterated the need to move traffic and that possibly the connection could be made to accommodate safe pedestrian travel and as little impact to wildlife as possible. - Referred to concerns people expressed about gang activity noting the Police Department did not comment that this would be a concern. Councilor Scheckla asked that input from the Police Department be received prior to project design to address this concern. - Councilor Scheckla said he was in favor of proceeding with the design that has been recommended. • Councilor Rohlf Asked the traffic consultant: "Did you look at the Bull Mountain impact, or the potential for impact on these roads?" Traffic consultant, Tom Lancaster responded "yes." He advised he looked at the projected volumes for 135th and Gaarde Road Avenue extension. He said he assumed that most of the traffic from those developments would be on one of those two roads. He considered this in the traffic study. Councilor Rohlf asked Mr. Lancaster if he took into consideration the comments about people speeding up to beat the traffic times. Councilor Rohlf said CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 9, 1994 PAGE 18 from personal experience on S. W. North Dakota, that this is what happens. This "throws a lest of your assumptions into the wastebasket." R;i; you give any thought to that kind of speed-t 'p? 3+3.r. La.Tscastetr responded "no. fl oaid his traffic times are based on driving apt roughly the pouted speed. If people do ignore the speed limits, the tra:'fic report assumptions would be affected. Councilor Rohlf asked if there were any other alternatives considered other than whether or not to put in a bridge? Mr. Lancaster responded "no, there was not." Councilor Rohlf asked if any studies were done in terms of noise levels; i.e., what would the impact of the noise level carried across that park be with the traffic volume that will come along with the connection. ee Mr. Lancaster responded, "no, I did not. Councilor Rohlf summarized as follows: ~ i Complimented everyone on doing a good job in their presentations. Council received a good exposure to different points of view. If the laws and Comprehensive Plan were the only things reviewed, then "the proponents were right." However, he noted "I think we do have a real treasure in that park that we ought to preserve. Sympathized with the neighborhood that has an "unreasonable amount of traffic running through it." He advised, however, if the connection was to go through, one neighborhood will be "fixed" and then three or four other neighborhoods will be messed up. Advised he has been listening to people in his neighborhood as to where people stand with relation to this particular subject. He said he has not heard, outside from the group of proponents at the meeting, a single supporter for connecting that road. In his neighborhood, opinion is overwhelming against the road connection. Advised if it is his job to represent the people of Tigard, then most of the people he is aware of want the road to stay closed. "I CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 9, 1994 - PAGE 19 13 fool it is any duty to help them in reaching that If that means we have to amend the Camp Plan, then that's rarest we'r°e going to have to do . " Councilor Frawley t. .aid she thought a comprehensive Plan u mendment was "doable. it Noted there are requirements that need to be met in order amend the Comprehensive Plan: It needs to be proven that a mistake was made. It needs to be proven that there is a change of circumstances "I truly do believe that a mistake has been e. made. I believe that the density that was originally planned with the Comp Plan does not, as it exists today, match with the way the traffic patterns were laid out." "I also believe that there has been a change a change of circumstance there are a loot of people around there who have something to say about the place that they live that weren't around there ...when the Comp Plan went in." "I'm strongly in favor of leaving the connection closed. I have to say, however, that I agree with Councilor Rohlf that if we did what we supposed to do if we look at the maps and the Comp Plan, then there is really only one decision and that is to connect it. So, my suggestion is that we, go ahead and proceed with a Comp Plan amendment that will allow that connection to stay closed to automobile traffic." "I do, however, want to see the connection open to bicycle traffic, and walking and running traffic... I'm firmly on the side of the fact that this is a community park, and you will probably see me vote in favor of putting more money into that park to provide more parking, and the people on Shore Drive won't like that... CITY COUNCIL MEETING PRINCES - AUGUST 9, 1994 - PAGE 20 .N r p "I also firmly believe that we need to protect the greenway area and putting an .1. y b racross there may hurt the greenw>*ay area. . , .I know that it will have Lo be mitigated xxoder the laws that we are working with today.0 "I also believe that because we are under mandate from the Staite...that we attempt to reduce car trips by 20 percent in the next 30 years, and the only way to do that is to . provide for alternative transportation... We do need a connection there, but not for vehicles... Later on there will be decisions that will put a bridge across there that will be bigger than the one you have there now." "I am very pleased with how the process is s* working. I love it when this room is full. It gives me something to base my opinions on. I have to agree with Councilor Rohlf.... Even though I have coma down on one particular side, I was not decided when I came in here tonight and I appreciate everyone taking the time to come in and tell me how they feel about it..." • Councilor Hunt Advised that "I think we have to look at the long-range planning. We are talking about trying to bring in the islands so that we can make long-range planning in that part of the town... If we make long-range plans and then don't abide or live with them, it bothers me." With regard to testimony with the danger to the children: "I don't see why, regardless of which way this goes, we don't put fencing... around those playgrounds next to the street-to keep the children from running out..." Advised he was not convinced that much of the natural resources would be affected by the connection. There are two bridges which cross there now. Agreed with Mr. Smithey that more parks are needed. Noted in the Capital Improvement Plan there are plans to look at building another park in the West CIT area. Agreed with the need for more bicycle paths and walkways. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 9, 1994 - PACE 21 x . e "I am going to have to come down on the side of going ahead and extending the road through there. I think-pore people will be wall served by that... The. City Council has as one. of their policies that they will not encourage: and support neighborhood parks... As far as I am concerned, a lot of the arguments here were in favor or preserving that neighborhood park and the quietness there." Councilor Hunt sympathized with the problems increased traffic will bring. 11...I am going to come down on voting for extending the road through there and putting the bridge in." Mayor Schwartz Referred to a comment during testimony which suggested that 121st be connected to Katherine Street in order to move traffic. Mayor advised this may be a good idea to help share some of the traffic in the area. He noted, however, if this was done there would be a "roomful of people, just like you folks, who would not want to see that connection made through there... That is true since I have been on Council for eight years now. Any time there is a road extension through a neighborhood, that was proposed to go through, the neighborhood will come in and will not want that road to go through because they do not want the through traffic." The closest response station for fire comes from Progress. If the connection was made, it would cut response times by a_ few minutes. 11 ..I can guarantee that a fire can double in size every five minutes. I spent 31 years in the fire service." Also, for any kind of a life-threatening emergency, the extra few minutes to come K around "could certainly mean the life or death of a child." Ref erred to the comments about gangs. IIIr can't help but think as was noted by Randy Wooley and the Chief's comments, that if that road was through, the police officers would probably patrol that area on a more routine basis because of it being a through- street ...that's some of the problems we have at cook Park right now with there, only being one street into there. We have a lot of CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES AUGUST 9, 1994 PAGE 22 vandalism at Cook Park, but it's not a very visible place. Whers if you had a street goinci, by with a little bit more traffic, it do is make it a little, bit more visible. °a LL ti: Referred to councilor Hunt°s commll regarding fencing along the park. He noted that the safety issue is there now regardless of whether the connection is made. He said there were things which should be done for children's safety including some work on the bridge to make sure there are good pedestrian ways. Commented on the wetlands: "I think the bridge could go across there and that could be mitigated with the way it is designed and what is done after they complete the bridge to make sure there was no damage to the area and it would be able to recover itself." "I am a firm believer that everybody has to carry their fair share of traffic..." Advised that the streets in the winterlake area are currently built to the width of a collector street. Brittany Street is built at a local street standard; it is a substantially narrower street. Referred to the Park Plan and the improvements made to Summerlake and said more improvements were planned. As a community-park, usage will come from people outside the immediate area. He noted that many people don't know how to get to the Summerlake park. Signs are needed.: "When you take a look at the grid system that you have in that particular area ...there is going to be some flow-through traffic... guarantee it in any neighborhood where there is a street which aces from one end and ends up somewhere else on another street... You are going to have some traffic that is going to flow through the neighborhood that are not residents..." Advised he did not think the residents will be impacted substantially because of the bridge connection. "I've seen it at too many other situations. Of course, like I say, that's my, opinion, it's based on ray experience of different projects we've had going on in the city..." CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 9, 1994 - PAGE 23 will support the bridge going through there. I think that it has been on the Comp Plan. I think the read and, even though the sign ...some peopla say the sign hasn't been there at the end of Winterlake it may not have been. I think anybody that drives down the street and sees a stub of a street with a barricade across it...should have some kind of an idea that probably there is going to be a road through there at some point..." Noted that signs on similar street stubs for connections disappear. G. Council consideration: In response to concerns expressed by Councilor Hawley, Mayor Schwartz responded that there have been a lot of issues raised; i.e., safety issues for the park, cut-through traffic, impacts to Hawksbeard, how to slow traffic down. City Engineer Wooley responded that in Recommendation No. 7: If the bridge is going to go through, that the City work with the Summerlake Drive neighborhood to develop plans for responding to potential traffic increases. (Note: At this point there were questions from the audience with regard to process.) City Engineer advised: "Hearing direction to proceed with design, I would suggest that we will insert that into the Capital Improvement Program that the Planning Commission recommended last night. The 130th/Winterlake project has been off to the side, pending tonight's meeting. We will bring that back to you (Council) on the 23rd. The decision before the council that night will be exactly where it goes into that plan for funding..." "The question will not be whether to go ahead, but where to put it in the schedule. We did still envision through the design process we wound have neighborhood meetings to review the design... proposed mitigation." (Further comment from the audience and concerns of what kind of appeal process was available.) • Councilor Hawley noted there wills no Comprehensive Plan change; the method to appeal a Comprehensive Plan amendment was not x available. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 9, 1994 - PAGE 24 4 (Thers was further comment from the audience about appeal and what steps could be taken by those who disagreed with the Council action.) • In response to a question referred by the Mayor to Legal Counsel, Ms. Seedy said she could not advise the council, in a public meeting, on actions that might be taken against the City. (Dialogue continued from unidentified speakers calling out from the audience.) • Staff responded to issues noting that during the sequence of events toward construction of the project, there are processes to be followed. • City Engineer advised with regard to wetlands that there is a study going on City-wide to define where the most sensitive wetlands are and how the City is going to protect those. It will be some time before this study is completed. If the City proceeds with design of the crossing at 130th/Winterlake, as part of that design, the wetlands would be delineated in the crossing area. The City would look at how to minimize and mitigate the impacts. This would be part of the permit process from both the State and Federal government. City Engineer acknowledged, after a question from Mayor Schwartz, that there is a process to raise appeals, objections, or comments through the wetland permit process. There is a notification process. (Further comment/dialogue from the audience occurred at this point in the meeting.) • Discussion for alternatives included - Initiation of a proposed Plan Map change. - Initiative procedure to refer measure to voters. • Discussion of the petition (over 700 signatures) from Friends of Summerlake Park. This petition is part of the record for this e issue. (See listing above, after conclusion of public comment.) (City Recorder note: CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - AUGUST 9, 1994 - PAGE 25 i ~f- Information [letters/petition] received by the City for City Council s~-,ar ;~3ze last several months has been irc~s5 ~~~ut~ d Into this mvetingss packet mater.-;.a3. or referpuace as part of the record rsvivm-.ed iovciv a period of time by the City Council.) • With regard to the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) priority listing, Mayor Schwartz advised that Council would be reviewing this on August 23. 130th/Winterlake Street connection was not considered by the Planning Commission for the CIP project priority listing because of the need to have this meeting and decision made on whether a Comprehensive Plan amendment would be pursued. • Councilor Hawley clarified that each of the CIT°s submitted information with regard to the CIP prioritization. The Planning Commission has reviewed and made a recommendation. The next step is for Council review. • Mayor Schwartz further clarified that the 130th/Winterlake connection needed to be discussed separately prior to including for consideration on the CIP priority listing. (Member from the audience disputed whether the project should be on the list since there has been controversy over whether the connection should be built.) • Councilor Hawley urged audience to come back to the Council meeting on August 23 to submit testimony on the Capital Improvement Program priority listing. • In response to a question by a member of the audience, City Engineer confirmed that the Comprehensive Plan can be amended. f. Council Motion: Motion by Councilor Scheckla, seconded by Councilor Hunt, to proceed with the design of the 130th/Winterlake connection as presented in the staff report with the seven conditions. The motioir was approved by a majority vote of Council present. (Mayor Schwartz and Councilors Hunt and Scheckla vote "Yes"; Councilors Hawley and Rohlf voted "no.")

Of.those, all 6 were initially approved however District # 5, the one formed for reimbursement of the Petrie Company for the sewer installed in conjunction with land owned by the Pacific Ridge Subdivision was subsequently repealed on June 1, 1994. The Petrie Company requested reconsideration by the Engineer pursuant to Tigard's new code and that was rejected on June 24, 1994. Mr. Petrie.appealed the June 1, 1994 decision to I,UBA. That appeal is now pending before LUBA. The Sewer installed by The Petrie Company is located in the vicinity of S.W. Cherry Street and S.W. 74th and 75th. The sewer line is 1200 feet in length and cost a total of $42,239.85. One half of that amount represents benefits to other property owners for which reimbursement is requested. The Oregon Supreme Court has held in numerous cases that when a body is making a judicial or quasi judicial decision it must act with prudence and correctness of judgement that is just and fair under all the circumstances. A judicial value judgement must be based upon pertinent and relevant factual data. This value judgement must take into consideration the existing precedents in like cases. If this can not be shown an abuse of discretion has probably occurred. A review of all the other reimbursement districts which have been approved indicates that the repeal undertaken on June 1, 1994 is clearly discriminatory. District #1 McDonald Street Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement March 24, 1992. City grants itself a reimbursement district for an 8" line it installed with City Sanitary Sewer funds District #2 Bonita Road Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District March 24, 1992 City grants itself a reimbursement district for an 8" line it -1- "0244 S.W.

Reimbursement District. September. 8, 1992. Ms. Johnson is allowed a reimbursement district for an 811 line she installed in S.W. McDonald St.. Note she didn't formally request the formation until some 9 months after acceptance by the City, The code says 3 months maximum. District #4 Wilder Sanitarv Sewer Reimbursement District. July 27, 1993. The Wilders allowed reimbursement district for an 800 line constructed on S.W. 100th near Inez. District #6 Meusch Sanitary Sewer Reimbursement District. February 8th, 1994. Reimbursement district granted to Mr. Meusch for an 8" line constructed on 79th Ave. north of Gentlewoods Drive. Argument There appears to have been a misunderstanding about the law which gave rise to the vote to treat district #5 differently from all the others. The record of the hearing indicates that some City Council members believed that the sewer line had to be greater than 8" to receive reimbursement district status. Obviously that was not the interpretation given in the past and is a mis-reading of Code provision 13.08.010(7). The true test is whether the sewer line relieves adjacent property owners of installing such improvements. District 5 certainly did that. In addition, it is difficult to justify the City granting itself Reimbursement District Status for an 8" line but denying Mr. Petrie the same treatment on the alleged grounds that an 811 line is not large enough to qualify for District Status. Request for Reconsideration The Petrie Company requests an opportunity for rehearing on this matter. In return it will put on hold all LUBA and Circuit Court action which will in itself save the taxpayers of Tigard a great deal of legal fees.

INFORMATION SUMMARY Bids were opened on 7/29/94 for the purchase of one 1994 2-door utility Ovehicle. The utility vehicle is to be used by the Detective unit of the Police Department. It will replace a 1986 Buick. The Buick will be traded in as part of the purchase. Only one bid was received in the amount of $18,595 which includes the trade in value of the Buick. The adopted 1994/95 budget included $17,810 for this purchase. The difference of $785 can be offset by other items in the detective capital equipment budget. The detective unit has diversified its fleet so that each unit is inconspicuos and does not look like a typical police vehicle. The purchase of this type of vehicle therefore comes off the lot of dealerships and is not special ordered. As a result, it is difficult to get many bids because they depend on dealer_ stock at the time. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 1. Award bid per staff recommendation. 2. Seek new bids.

Cont., Tualatin OR 106,809.28 Dycon Corp., Tigard, OR 94,957.60 J.T. Inc., Portland OR. 90,137.44 The purpose of the project is to replace a sewer at a railroad crossing near Coe Manufacturing that serves the triangle area, the industrial area to the south, a small area north of SW Pacific Highway, as well as 84 residential acres within Portland. The existing line has become a maintenance problem and has inadeauate capacity to accommodate anticipated development in the triangle area. The low bidder, J.T. Inc., successfully completed the S.W. McDonald St. Storm Sewer Capital Improvement Project in 1993. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED f r FISCAL NOTES This project is part of t-he 1993-93 Capital Improvement Program approved by Council on uul'? 13, 1993, with a budget of $60,000 and is eligible for N funding through the City's sanitary sewer system development fund by inclusion on the Unified Sewerage Agency's capital improvement list of its masterplan. That fund is adequate to provide the required increased funding. The proposed increased funding is required, at least in part, as a result of a detailed study recently completed by the Unified Sewerage Agency as part of its Sewer Masterplan Update, that concluded that a sewer of greater capacity than could be provided by the currently budgeted amount was required to accommodate anticipated development in the triangle area. Accordingly, this project was revised to provide this additional capacity. With this increased capacity, the sewer becomes of a size that would normally be proposed as a possible USA construction project. However, to ensure timely completion of the project, continuation of the City project is recommended. Reimbursement for at least a portion of the cost of the project will be requested of USA.. coo-ca. is i i AGENDA ITEM # r For Agenda of _ August ,9, 1994 CITY OF TIGARD; OREGON COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY ISSUE/AGENDA TITLE 130th/Winterlake Connection PREPARED BY: R. Woolev DEPT HEAD OK A`~'4' _ CITY ADMIN OK ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Shall the City proceed with the design of the 130th/Winterlake Connection? STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City take the following actions: / 1. Proceed with the design of the 130th/Winterlake connection. 2. Expand the design project to include design of improvements to 130th Avenue between Scholls Ferry Road and Hawk°s Beard Street. 3. As part of the design work, consider ways to minimize impacts on the wetland and greenway areas. 4. As part of the design work, consider ways to encourage lower traffic speeds on the street connection and along the park (for example, reduced street width at the creek crossing, traffic islands, etc.). 5. Prior to completion of design work, provide an opportunity for the neighborhood to review and comment on the design, including the proposed methods to mitigate wetlands and traffic impacts. 6. Include funding for construction in the seven-year capital improvement program now being developed. 7. Prior to opening of the new street connection, work with the Summer Lake Drive neighborhood to develop :plans for responding to potential traffic increases. INFORMATION SUMMARY The Comprehensive Plan Transportation Map calls for completion of a street connection between 130th Avenue and Winterlake Drive, crossing Summer Creek. The FY 1993-94 Capital Improvement Program included funding for design of the street connection. However, in January, the Council directed that the design not proceed until an opportunity had been provided to hear neighborhood concerns. On April 5, 1994, the proposed project was discussed at the West CIT. r mom ~c i Approximately 170 people attended that meeting. There were a large number of cit~zeris supporting the project and a large number opposing the project. Hach side indicated strong feelings on their positions. The CIT decided not to -vote on the issue but to forward the concerns of both sides to the Council. The attached memo provides additional information. During the CIT meeting, a number of questions were raised regarding potential traffic impacts of constructing the connection. To address these concerns, an independent traffic engineer was retained. The traffic engineer's conclusions are summarized on the attached page. Copies of the report have been made available for public review in the Library and at the Engineering counter in City Hall. Copies were previously sent to the Council. The traffic engineer will attend the August 9th meeting to answer any questions about the report. R Notice has been given that this matter will be heard by the Council on August 9, 1994. Both proponents and opponents have indicated a desire to address the Council on this issue. Additional information is included in the attached memorandum. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Council options include: 1. Direct staff to proceed with design of the project, or 2. Initiate consideration of an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Transportation Map, to delete the connection, and direct that the appropriate hearings be scheduled, or 3. Leave the connection on the Map as a long--term goal, but eliminate current funding. FISCAL NOTES Design of the 130th/Winterlake connection would cost approximately $100,000 including delineation of the wetland area, determination of mitigation measures, and permit applications. Construction would cost approximately $450,000. Design of 130th Avenue between Scholls Ferry and Hawk's Beard would cost approximately $50,000. Construction would cost approximately $350,000 including potential right-of-way costs. These projects are eligible for funding from traffic impact fees. rw/130-jul2 III I!, Jim I'll III Ill, 11 10, Schols Ferr Rood I _ n a Hark 's Beard Street Sumer Cre k /North Dakota r PROPOSED CONNECTION 6~`tt°° ~r~`e Winter Lake Drive a n, a Laurn, ont Drive Folc®n Rise dive 9 . o , t Katherine Street VICINITY MAP TOM R.

If the 130th connection is built, congestion improvements at the intersection of 135th and Scholls Ferry will be small. The congestion reduction will be insignificant with today's traffic volumes, but may be significant with future increases in traffic. 3. If the • 130th connection is built and the Gaarde Extension and the Murray Extension are completed, the potential for cut-through traffic between the Gaarde Extension and Scholls Ferry on the 130th connection is low. 4. If the 130th connection is built, there is a high potential for additional cut-through traffic on Summer Lake Drive between 130th and North Dakota. This could be miti- gated by full or partial traffic diverters within the Summer Lake area. -29- Pill ISOM loom NAM REMI 1 ff 'I : I; E= MEMORANDUM CITY OF TIGARD f TO: Bill Monahan, City Adcninistrator July 28, 1994 FROM: Randy Wooley, City Engineer SUBJECT: 130th/Winterlake Connection Winterlake Drive and 130th Avenue have been designed to connect at Summer Creek. Should this connection (approximately 250 feet of street) be completed? HISTORY The Comprehensive Plan adopted in 1983 called for a minor collector street connection between the 130th/Scholls Ferry and 128th/Katherine intersections. As subdivision plans were approved during the late 1980s, the collector street route was more specifically defined to follow 128th, Winterlake and 130th. The subdivision designs envisioned Winterlake connecting directly to 130th on the north side of Summer Creek. The subdivision developers dedicated the right of way for the collector street, including the Summer Creek crossing. The developers also provided street improvements except for the creek crossing. In the same time period, a park master plan was adopted. The park plan outlined the acquisition of property for expansion of Summerlake Park on the south side of Summer Creek. The plan assumed that the 130th/Winterlake connection would occur. Property was acquired and many of the improvements shown in the park master plan have been provided. The 1993-94 capital improvement program included funding for design of the 130th/Winterlake street connection. However, design work has. not proceeded pending resolution of neighborhood concerns. To the south of the proposed street connection, Winterlake Drive has not been constructed to full collector street width along the park frontage. This causes traffic problems during times of heavy park use, when vehicles are parked along both sides of Winterlake. In April, 1994, the Council authorized funding for completion of the Winterlake Drive street improvements along the park frontage south of Summer Creek and construction of a parking lot. We are currently advertising for bids for this project, with construction expected this fall. C.I.T. REVIEW In January, after hearing of neighborhood concerns, the Council directed that design of the 130th/Winterlake, connection be 130TH/WINTERLAKE CONNECTION - MEMO PAGE 1 1111212 N suspended until an opportunity had been provided for CIT (Citizen Involvement Team) review. The CIT consideration occurred on April 5, 1991, with approximately 170 people in attendance. Those speaking in favor of the street connection argued that: • The connection has been promised in the past. It is part of the Comprehensive Plan and should be completed. Subdivisions were designed based on this plan. NPO #7 had recommended that 'the connection be constructed as a condition of approval of the subdivisions known as Village at Summer Lake. There is currently too much traffic on 128th and on Brittany, causing safety problems. Brittany was not designed as a collector street. The connection would reduce the traffic on Brittany and 128th. Y Traffic needs to be dispersed, with various streets and neighborhoods sharing the burden. • The street connection would have little impact to the wetlands. The park was designed for recreation, not as a nature preserve. A bridge could be designed in a way to make it an asset to the park. • A connection would provide better emergency access. The City needs to proceed with design to get answers to the questions about impacts. Those speaking in opposition to the connection argued: O The connection would attract through traffic, leading to higher speeds. Due to through trips, traffic volumes might actually increase on 128th and Brittany. G Increased traffic by the park would destroy the peaceful setting of the park and reduce safety of park users. O Increased traffic on Winterlake Drive would create a hazard for children going tc the park. m The connection would be harmful to the wetlands. The wetlands are a limited resource and need to be protected. 9 The connection would be very expensive and is not the best use of the City's money. O Additional information is needed to make a decision. TRAFFIC REPORT At the April CIT meeting, questions were raised regarding the traffic impacts of the connection. There was disagreement as to 130TH/WINTERLAKE CONNECTION - MEMO PAGE 2 'MW alaci: Kwl~ whether the connection would increase or decrease traffic on various streets and there were concerns about cut-through traffic. An independent traffic engineer was retained to address these traffic issues. His report has been made available to the public since July 21, 1994. His conclusions are shown on page 29 of the report. The traffic engineer, Tom Lancaster, will be available at the August 9th Council meeting to answer any questions about the report. WETLANDS AND GREENWAYS The proposed street connection would need to cross a recognized wetland along Summer Creek. In reviewing wetland impacts, we need to look at two issues. First is the legal issue; we need to review the restrictions placed on the project by existing laws. Second, is the policy issue; what is the City policy on protection of wetlands and greenways. Legal issues: The area along Summer Creek is recognized as a wetland area. To construct a street connection across the wetland, the City would need to obtain federal and state permits. A city sensitive lands permit may also be necessary. During design of the crossing, the extent of the wetlands area would be determined and we would work w1th the permitting agencies to develop appropriate mitigation for any impacts of the connection. Based on preliminary review and our experience at other sites, we believe that the required mitigation can be provided without great cost. The adjacent park property owned by the City provides opportunities for mitigation. Mitigation efforts might include; • Design the crossing to minimize impacts. • Remove the existing pedestrian bridge and the old road leading to the bridge, and restore the stream channel to its natural form. • Provide additional protection for existing wetlands areas in the park. • Provide educational materials or signing to help the public to understand and protect the wetland areas in the park. Expand or enhance existing wetland areas in the park. Policy issues: A study to more accurately identify sensitive areas throughout.the City and to determine the degree of protection that is desired for these areas is not yet completed. However, past policy has been to leave greenways in their natural state, but to develop pathways along the greenways for public access and recreation. Roads and utilities have been constructed across greenways in numerous locations. Greenway areas generally correspond with the 100-year flood plain. The city has policies 130TH/WINTERLAKE CONNECTION - MEMO PAGE 3 I EM Elm i restricting development in the flood. plain but allowing utility and roadway crossings. The tree inventory recently completed for the City diet not identify any unique :resources in the area of the proposed crossing. The park master plan assumes that the 130th/Winterlake connection will be completed. Design: Special design of a stream crossing can reduce the impacts on the stream and wetland areas. Potential design considerations include: • Increasing the length of the span across the creek to reduce filling in the wetlands area. This would probably mean building a bridge rather than a large culvert. • Reducing the street width through the greenway area. In the greenway area the street width could be less than the standard minor collector width because there is no need for parking or turn lanes in the greenway. It appears that there are only two large trees in the proposed alignment. One of the trees is dead. More detailed design work would be needed to determine whether the other tree can be saved. CONCLUSIONS I conclude that the connection should be completed. The area was planned and developed based on the Comprehensive Plan that included the street connection. Winterlake and 130th were designed to minor collector standards to safely carry some additional traffic. The traffic report indicates that the future traffic on the street connection will be well within the guidelines for a minor collector street; in fact, it will be within the guidelines for a local street. For the most part, the connection will carry traffic that is now using Brittany. Traffic volumes on Brittany near 135th currently exceed the standards for local streets. The traffic report indicates that the connection will reduce Brittany volumes to a level within the guidelines for local streets. It seems appropriate that the traffic should be shifted from a local street to a minor collector street. The traffic report indicates that the connection is not expected to attract through traffic, but only to serve neighborhood traffic an appropriate function for a minor collector. The connection will provide an additional access route to the neighborhood. Multiple access routes improve the emergency response time to a neighborhood for fire, police and ambulance. Multiple routes also reduce disruption to the neighborhood when a street must be closed for repair. The traffic report indicates that the additional access may provide some longer-term benefits by better distributing traffic on the approaches to Scholls Ferry Road. 130TH/WINTERLAKE CONNECTION - MEMO PAGE 4 !I! 13A wllm!6~111: SIR The connection will provide a better access to Sum_merlake Park. The park has been designed to serve an area larger than the immediate neighborhood. The primary recreational facilities in the park were planned and constructed along Winterlake Drive on the assumption that there would be a direct access to the north via 130th. I believe that the street connection can be designed to have only minimal impacts to the wetland and greenway area. The creek crossing can be designed to minimize fill in the wetlands area. We can consider designs that reduce the street width and the width of fills in the greenway. Completion of the street connection will allow removal of the existing pedestrian bridge and the old roadway fill that leads to the existing bridge. Removal of the existing facility will eliminate an existing restriction in the stream channel and allow restoration of the wetland. Both proponents and opponents have raised concerns about pedestrian and traffic safety in the neighborhood. These are valid concerns - - concerns that we routinely hear from neighborhoods throughout the City. However, it seems to me that shifting traffic from Brittany (designed as a meandering local street) to Winterlake/130th (designed as a collector street) will result in a net improvement to neighborhood safety. The neighborhood will continue to receive periodic traffic engineering review and traffic enforcement, as do all Tigard neighborhoods. To the north of Summer Creek, improvements to existing 130th should be completed prior to opening of the street connection. Existing 130th Avenue improvements between Scholls Ferry and Hawk's Beard are inadequate to accommodate the projected traffic volumes with the street connection completed. The traffic report warns us of potential problems of additional traffic in the Summer Lake Drive area if the 130th/Winterlake connection is completed. The traffic report suggests measures to address this potential problem. As traffic increases, it will be important to work with the Summer Lake Drive neighborhood to agree on appropriate traffic solutions. Residents of Summer Lake Drive and Springwood Drive have previously raised concerns about cut- through traffic from North Dakota Street. Additional traffic between Hawk's Beard and North Dakota may well become a problem even without the 130th/Winterlake connection, when the large vacant parcel is developed along Hawk's Beard between 130th and 135th. rw/130-ju13 130TH/WINTERLAKE CONNECTION - MEMO PAGE 5 r 01111111 11!11~ ARMS, mom F MEMORANDUM CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON TO: Honorable Mayor & City Council FROM: Sill Monahan, Interim City Administrator DATE: August 1, 1994 SUBJECT: Proposed 130th/Winterlake Connection Attached are the most recent letters received for Council review on the proposed 130th/ Winterlake Connection.

To: Tigard City Council, City of Tigard From: Steve Hooker, Tigard Resident Subject: 130th / Winterlake Proposed Connection Since I cannot attend the August 9th Tigard City Council meeting, I would like to submit the following input regarding the proposed 130th and Winterlake Street connection. am strongly opposed to connecting 130th & Winterlake drive for the following four reasons: 1) The proposed connection will have a detrimental effect upon the existing Sumn oerLake Park wetlands area. 2) The increased traffic will significantly raise the risk of an accident involving the children that play on the parkland adjacent to the road. Currently, the play areas are buffered from the busier neighborhood streets. 3) The proposed connection will not prevent the possibility of cut- through traffic on the adjoining streets, thus there is no guarantee that the residents will not see a shift in their traffic concerns from one part of the neighborhood to another. 4) If you weigh the financial cost of this project against the expected benefit, you would likely find from a poll of Tigard residents that this money should be directed to one of the many more pressing needs and concerns in our community. Evidence of this was actually gathered at a spring West GIT meeting when most of the citizens cast their votes for other projects. u., 1 would ask that the Tigard City Council take a very close look at the cost of this proposed connection and ask the question m could these funds be more wisely spent on projects that would contribute to a wider group of Tigard residents. I feel you can argue very strongly that there is already adequate access to Scholls Ferry Road so that the priority of this project is very low. Thank you.

This road extension and required bridge would significantly impact the riparian and wetland resources currently benefiting the community. This area provides important flood control and water quality protection for 1~anno Creek and the Tualatin River. This natural area also provides aesthetic and recreational values for the residents of the area. These values would also be severely diminished with this road extension. The current Summer Creek and Summer Lake corridor provides one of the nicest natural areas in the City. Fans ofFanno Creek has worked in cooperation with Tigard City and local residents to restore this area with native tree planting and clean-up events. The newest housing developments have provided appropriate buffer zones adjacent to the creek that have preserved, as well, these values. I urge you to acknowledge and validate this wort: and to recognize the importance of this resource for the future of the City. Also important to the City (and to the entire watershed) are the flood control and water quality values of streams such as Summer Creek. Any road extension and bridge construction that involves filling the riparian and associated wetland areas will diminish these values. Anything but a full suspension bridge spanning the entire riparian channel is inappropriate in light of these values and functions of the existing natural system. Given the many projects and community needs the Council currently faces, Fans of Fanno Creek questions the appropriateness of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the countless hours to complete the necessary permitting applications and documentation for a project that will do nothing to enhance the current amenities offered by this natural area.

In the hour or so I was there, all sorts of people passed by me - on foot, bicycle, and stroller - all enjoying what we all deserve - clean, safe, and natural surroundings. I urge you not to lose sight of the resources you currently have here, and not trade it away for a few minutes less of car travel time. Fans of Fanno Creek appreciates your work to begin identifying important natural resources and your planning for the future of the City of Tigard. This proposed road extension is part of a planning process begun at a time when the resources of areas such as this, were unrecognized and unheralded. We, you, know more now. Fans urges you to protect this area, and to move Tigard City toward a future that values and protects the natural areas we all cherish. Thank you for your consideration.

It is anticipated that this can be placed on a March CIT agenda. • Meeting process. Legal Counsel Coleman reviewed options for continuation of the Albertson's public hearing which is scheduled for the business agenda. If the Council determines that it appears that a lot of people did not get a full opportunity to be heard in an evidentiary hearing, there is the possibility that this issue could be remanded to the Planning Commission for another hearing. Also, Council received several hundred pages of written information concerning this hearing item. Much of this information had not been submitted to the Planning Commission as they were making their decision.

Legal Counsel and staff also advised that if the Council had specific items they would like the Planning commission to review, it would be helpful. Legal Counsel Coleman advised he would explain the remand process during the business meeting noting the issue of remand has been raised.

He urged the foot bridge not be built until the street connection was made. He reported on his understanding that the foot bridge would be constructed in a portion of the street connection right of way. He was concerned the foot bridge would interfere with the future street connection or used as justification to not build a street connection. City Engineer acknowledged that a portion of the foot bridge may be located in the same area as the street (now a gravel road) right-of-way. The materials for the bridge can be salvaged and could be relocated to another area when the street connection is made. No wetland mitigation would be required for the foot bridge.

Locust, Portland, OR, advised that he had read in the Cityscape Newsletter that bikelanes along 121st, Scholls Ferry and Walnut were to be constructed. He requested that the large plastic buttons not be used. He said this type of divider between bikelanes and the street keeps gravel and debris in the bike path and prevents street sweepers from being able to clear the lanes. City Engineer Woolley advised that the larger buttons were not planned to be used in this area; rather, smaller reflector markers would be used which would allow sweepers to access the bike lanes. Bob Pavlukovich, 12345 S.W. 128th Avenue, Tigard, OR, distributed a letter to the City Council and read the letter as his testimony. (Letter is on file with the Council packet material.)

He commented on the 25 mph speed limit and the "strictly enforced" sign which accompanied the speed sign. • Rose Cicero, 11123 S.W. Eschman, Tigard, OR, distributed a pamphlet with regard to the 130th/Winterlake Drive extension.

Attachment #6- Map showing subdivisions approved after adoption of the Comprehensive Plan of January 1983 according to the Tigard Planning Department. ~1 c Q~ rns 3 page 1 1 F- r (The purpose of attachments #4,5,and~.6 is to show that all subdivision approvals and planning has been consistently based upon the promise that the 130th/Wintterlake connection would be completed as a part of development of the general Summerlake area.) Attachment-47- City of Tigard Subdivision Application Information. (Please note instruction to meet applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan as well as sensitive land areas. A reasonable person must assume that if existing developments were approved by the city that the specificity of the streets connection as well as alleged sensitive land issues have already been addressed and resolved, Attachment #8- Engineer Wooley's endorsement and partial justification for the 130th/Winterlake connection of February 16, 1994 at the beginning of the "political fuss". Attachment #9- Copy of G. McAdams letter of June 16, 1994 as it appeared in the Tigard Times. Finally, please also-consider the apparent difficulty of amending the Tigard Comprehensive Plan to meet the wishes of those opposing the 130th/Winterlake connection. Given the quasi-judicial process and the fact-finding necessary to overrule more than a decade of substantial developmental decision making by the Planning Commission and your city council would appear to this writer as a very formidable challenge.

IER LAKE PARK ~ Cam) f as~7 Par Summer Lake Park is a community park located south of SW Scholls Ferry Road, at SW 130th Avenue, and south of Summer Lake subdivision. The park presently consists of 18.81 acres, a portion of which includes a large lake for storm drainage retention and floors control.. Approximatelv 15 acres were dedicated to the City of Tigard in 1978 by the Art Lutz Development Company as a condition of development of thg Summer Lake subdivision. In 1986, 3.06 additional acres in the southwest area of the park were dedicated to the City with the ,Ari Green subdivision. Acquisition of the remaining acreage in the proposed boundaries and the possible addition of acreage to the south of the 'park would bring the total park acreage to 30+ acres. f By 1980, work on the preparation of the lake had been achieved by the developer, which included dredging, grading and reshaping the lake and building a dam at the east end. The City then took responsibility for the building of the bridge connecting the north and south banks of the lake. In 1986, major improvements were completed with the addition of picnic tables, barbecues, trash receptacles, a children's play structure, and the installation of the irrigation/sprinkler system. Many additional recreational facilities are planned for the park. The park has been designed with the community in mind, utilizing the natural amenities and existing lake as the focal point for the parks setting. The site is characterized by open, gently rolling land, sloping south from the Summer Lake subdivision and sloping north into the lake from the southern boundary line. Approximately 75% of the shoreline has been planted in grass. The southwest edge of the lake remains in its natural state, and includes a grove of Douglas fir and deciduous trees opening into a relatively flat, AMOK' cleared area to the west of the forested area. Now The lake, surrounding shortline and drainageways are excellent habitats for various forms of wildlife, and are especially attractive to waterfoul that can be seen at all times of the year. Beavers reside at the Spring Creek inlet to the lake at the west end, causing problems in water level control. This specific area has been suggested by specialists for preservation because of its unique vegetation and wildlife values. R Goals: o To preserve open space and passive recreational land which will retain and improve liveability of the surrounding neighborhood and serve the leisure and aesthetic needs of community residents. o To provide safe and convenient access for neighborhood residents and park visitors. o To create a leisurely environment and active recreational spaces to serve the surrounding community and provide facilities which generally cannot be provided at the neighborhood level. o To preserve, protect and enhance plant, wildlife and fish areas and habitats; water areas; and wetlands. o' To :protect i Surrounding- ei bbo wag frog g pa acstia-l negative.,; impacts ~ue to 'i4c @a~s~__in ve eatrten ark ~recularraffic .generated .by. :the park. -57 - IY1G~(.C~G~mS~ Objectives: o Acquire land to the west and south of park. (approximately 9 acres) o Preserve open spaces and natural areas for passive recreation. o Provide picnicking facilities--tables, cooking facilities, trash receptacles and drinking fountains. o Provide play equipment /structure for community use. o Provide general lighting throughout park. o Construct pedestrian/ bicycle paths between park and Mary Woodward school. o Construct pedestrian/bicycle paths to connect with existing paths, greenway paths, on-street bicycle paths and neighborhood access. o Construct pedestrian/bicycle bridge over dam, sturdy enough to accommodate service vehicles. e Constrruct l~tb ;.Street for direct access to park from major transportation t p roughfare o Construct direct access to park from areas south of park. o Develop multi-purpose ballfield (softball and soccer) primarily for use other than tournament play.

VY) (0257P) C E~ JC1 S 1`~ The Tigard water District is concerned about the Number of cul-de-sacs in relation to the Districts's desire to have looped systems. The District requests that line connections be provided between Summer Lake Place and Winterlake Drive as well as the three southern cul-de-sacs. The Park Board recommends the following: a. Lots 1 and 2 should be omitted or relocated. b. Parking should be provided at the end- of Summer, Lake Drive. C. A pedestrian path should be provided between Summer Lake Place and Winterlake Drive to improve pedestrian access to the Park. d. The originally proposed footbrialge at the east end of Summer Lake should be constructed in conjunction with this development. NPO N 7 has the following comments: a. Street names should be revised to avoid confusion between similar names. b. The City should ensure that the storm drainage facilities are properly designed. C. Lot 2 should be moved to avoid problems created by traffic on 128th Avenue heading directly toward this lot. d. Stop signs are recommended for westbound traffic on Winterlake Drive and Falcon Rise Rise Drive at 128th Avenue. The Fnqineering Division has the following comments: a. The applicant proposes to subdivide 44.35 acres into 190 lots and to fill a drainage way as shown on the submitted plan sheets 1 through 4, dated 9-1-87. The plan sheets show the proposed street network, existing topography, preliminary storm sewer, sanitary and water improvements. b. The proposed subdivision street network will have access from 128th Avenue to the south, Falcon Rise Drive to the west and Winterlake Drive to the northwest. Winterlake Drive is also stubbed to the east for future development. All three of these existing streets are designated as minor collector streets. Falcon Rise Drive and 128th Avenue have pavement widths of 34 feet within a 50 foot right-of-way: Winterlake Drive has a 40 foot pavement width within a 60 foot right-of-way. C.

The proposed subdivision has a development density less than that allowed by the existing zoning for the property. e. Existing Falcon Rise Drive and 128th Avenue have pavement and right-of-way widths to local street standards rather than minor collector standards. It appears appropriate to retain the existing widths on these two streets where they are extended into the proposed subdivision, since the streets are not intended to carry through traffic. The pavement structural section should, however, be to the usual minor collector standards. In the future, these narrower-than-standard streets could become a problem if extensive on-street parking occurs in the neighborhood. If so, the problem could be resolved by prohibiting parking on one side of the street. f . ~t£~~„~tRrs~,°tintea^lake- i?ritt~e Ys ~ oanstructs3~ to;° eti~sor col lectar.

Please be aware that at the CIT meeting on April 5th I expect to attend as a neutral source of information, neither for nor against the connection. However, if asked for a recommendation, I would currently recommend in favor of the connection for the following reasons. • I see this connection as another access to the Summerlake neighborhood. I am referring to the larger neighborhood bounded by Scholls Ferry Road on the north, 121st Avenue on the east, Walnut Street on the south, and 135th Avenue on the west. I would not expect this connection to be an attractive route for through traffic. I would not expect to see any change in the total volume of traffic entering and exiting the neighborhood if this street connection is made. Traffic on 130th would increase some; traffic on other neighborhood access routes would decrease some. ® The connection has been a part of the Comprehensive Plan for over ten years. The area was planned and developed based on this Comprehensive Plan. Winterlake and 130th were designed to minor collector street standards to safely carry some additional traffic. The connection would relieve streets like Brittany Drive that were not designed to serve as collector streets. Multiple access routes improve the emergency response time to a neighborhood for fire, police and ambulance. The connection would distribute some of the neighborhood traffic to Scholls Ferry Road via 130th Avenue. This would reduce the traffic volume some at the 135th/Scholls Ferry intersection. The re-distribution of traffic would help Scholls Ferry to operate more efficiently and help to reduce delays. 9 The crossing would provide a better pedestrian and bicycle connection between the north and south portions of the neighborhood. 13125 SW Hall Blvd., Tigard, OR 97223 (503) 639-4171,TDD (503) 684-2772 ~'1 0 s ~q.. 1!1 11 111: 1 111,11111 will! A 111 1 lillillillf, Emil .e • • In summary, the connection would better distribute the traffic traveling to the neighborhood, from the neighborhood and within the neighborhood. You also asked how many times the Tigard Comprehensive Plan has been modified. The Planning Division staff indicate that there have been 76 revisions to the Comprehensive Plan since 1984. Of the 76 revisions, 8 involved changes to the Transportation Map. If additional information is needed, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Randall R. Wooley City Engineer rw/cicero atom tf Plans foir park should continue Back in 1987 the Tigard Parks Board adopted a comprehensive plan that included Summerlake Park.

We meet again tonight in the hope of puffins an end to the delay in building the connection at 134th. Not in the least do I wish to remind you that this is not a popularity contest, that whoever has the most votes for or against does not designate the winner. This decision by you, the City Council, is a reflection of tho needs and desires of all residents of this city regardless of whether or not they sent you letters, provided p otflions, or are In a ndance here tonight. Your decision reflects tke needs of a growing city, and also the carrying out of programs and projects begun years ago when the planning process for this project was begun. The wisest of the wise once said that fairing to plan is planning to fail. It is with the planning you provide today, that the feature of Tigard can be assured and our quality of life can be maintained and enhanced. SW 1 used to end just north of Katherina. From there it became a dirt trail to Summer Lake. SW Wintorlake Drive used to be Winter Lake. SW Shore Drive used to be a shore. Progress has permanently altered my neighborhoods way of life forever. I used to sit out on eery porch at G P.M. and watch the sin cars drive past any house, all of whdah were aw neighbors. I could use the street as a playground with my Idds. Now, I airs afraid if they play in the front becamse of the hundreds of cars that use nay street. My neighbors and 1 fought the Ilforissette development in 1987, we wanted to keep the serenity of the neighborhood. However, we were told that "this road was to be extended wide feature development", and that the development would be allowed. We were assured at our meeting with then Mayor Tom Brian and Keith L.yden, that the development would have its own access via SW 13001 and that the impact to our neighborhood would not be that much. We were told and I have the planning commission case # 87-013, which states that tae connection shall be approved by the city Dior to recording phase I and phase V of the project, yet, we have no connection. Some people will say that that was 7 years ago, this is now, but folks the story is still the same. We wanted this public land to ramain for everyone but no matter, it got developed. Bunch-ode of houses were built with many thousands of trips by trucks and the impact to the pre existing n erhoods has been huge, yet largely ignored. Is not that we do care, its not that we are tired of fighting; for we are not. Lt is that we have been promised this connection for a long -Ume and want to see you go through with it. We bousM in to the plan these and want to see it completed now. Some people want you to believe that no one in the immediate area wants the brides, however that is not true. Soeeee people do want better access to their neighborhoods and know that the shortened dense fw emergency volildes is a great asset: I do feel sorry for those ea wA impacted, those who live right at the coeauecHou, the traffic for deem will increrime. However, if you want to live in a city by a major CRY park, then traffic by those wishing to use the park goes along with the deal. This is not a local small neighborhood park, it is a city park planned and paid for by all residents of the city and improved with money from all residents of the city and merit be accessible to all residents of the city. This connection evade sense as long time agm, and it even makes more sense now. Lets not dowse to the read isles. If the issue is wetlands, then I believe that staff has evade an appropriate recommendation to address the wetlands. If we insist cast down a a tree or two, then be sure that it is within the guidelines for removal. The city will need to meet all local, state and federal land use requirements. If the connection meets those requirements, then build it. If the issue is safety for the park, late make scare that every effort h been made to provide safe awes to and from the park. Mcrae sure that the park is a safe haven for children, and that appropriate measures for traffic control are In place before the connecHan opens. Staffs recommendations are right in line with what most people want for as safe and usable park. N the issue is traffic and its impact to the immediate neighborhood, then staffs recommendation to work with them should be carried out. Again, foiks, we live In a city and to five in a eft means to be at goad neighbor. Shaaring the burden of traffic is an issue dear to acs all. - Everyone wants it to just go away, preferably to someone else!s neighborhood. But lets be real, we all must share the burden of the traffic we created by moving to this city. Many people feel impacted now by this connections. Please do not forget those people who have lived here for a long time and have waited patiently for this Connection as well as the many improvements being made to our fine city. I do not have any hard fooUngs for those who do not want to build the connection, for they have their reasons. I have fought similar issues in the past and will do it again. It is away purpose to remind you that there are many other long time residents of this city who Wish to see the plans they voted for and approved carried out 1 thank yoga for your time and concern, and for the way you have handled this situation. 06-06-1994 01:03PM FROM NPP-PE-D DESIGN BRANCH TO 96647297 P.02 tt! , left, City ouncil City bf Tigard 1312E SW Hall Blvd. Tigar , OR •97223 03 August 1964 Dear City. Council Merrribers, As a resident of the Summer Lake area, who lives on 1Ninterlake Drive, i am clearly affec#ed by the outcome regarding the connection of'Winterlake -Drive to 130th Aven e. -There has been •a tremendous amount of cionflicting• and sometimes misleading information regarding this issue. I know that many of.. my fellow neighbor`s, as, eau ill as myself, were initially confused about whathet to support this project: Asa professional engineer I pride myself in making logical and soured decisions. I strive to be impartial and to carefully weigh all of the facts before making a decision. It is'unfortunate that all too often decisions are based on emotions, not facts. In this case, l believe that when all of the evidence is carefully weighed, it will strongly support the building of the connection between Winterlake Drive and 130th Avenue. I wbulId like to commend the City's staff for the professionalism they displayed while hand$ng this issue and for arriving at the logical recommendation to proceed with this project. I sincerely hope that the City Council members' will support the redo mendations made by the City's staff. Sincerely, c/ Ronald S. Wridge, P.E. 12399 S.W.

TIGARD, OR 97223 RE: 130th/WINTERLAKE CONNECTION DEAR MAYOR AND COUNCILORS: IN SEPTEMBER OF 1992, THE CITY OF TIGARD WAS CONTACTED BY SEVERAL HOMEOWNERS REGARDING THE POSSIBLE EXTENSION OF 130th/WINTERLAKE. THE CITY REPLIED TO OUR INQUIRY THAT THE ROAD WAS INDEED ON THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE CITY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO COMPLETE THE EXTENSION, DID NOT WANT TO HARM THE WETLANDS AND THE BRIDGE WOULD NOT BE BUILT. SHORTLY AFTER ALL LOTS WERE SOLD AND HOMES WERE BUILT AND OCCUPIED, THE STORY WAS CHANGED. AT THAT TIME NO SIGN EXISTED ON THE BARRIER INDICATING THAT "THIS ROAD WILL BE EXTENDED WITH FUTURE DEVELOPMENT" (SEE ENCLOSED PHOTO TAKEN JANUARY, 1993). THIS SIGN WENT UP IN FEBRUARY, 1994. OUR NEIGHBORHOOD WAS DESIGNED WITH THE CITIES APPROVAL BUT NOT IN APPROPRIATE MANNER TO THE DEFINITIONS OF A MINOR COLLECTOR THAT THE CITY ACCEPTS AS STANDARD. PER YOUR DOCUMENT, PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, VOLUME 1- INVENTORY TRANSPORTATION CHAPTER, YOU HAVE DEFINED THAT "DIRECT ACCESS TO MINOR COLLECTORS FROM INDIVIDUAL RESIDENTS SHALL BE DISCOURAGED" HOWEVER, FROM 128th AND WALNUT TO 130th AND SCHOLLS FERRY, 84 DRIVEWAYS FRONTING THE STREET EXIST WITH THE CITIES APPROVAL. 135th HAS ONLY 8 DRIVEWAYS FRONTING THE STREET. HOW CAN THESE TWO VASTLY DIFFERENT STREETS BE USED IN A LIKE FASHION? REGARDLESS OF SPEED LIMITS, THEIR FUNCTION WAS NOT DESIGNED TO BE THE SAME. SURROUNDING CITIES, BEAVERTON, LAKE OSWEGO, AND TUALA`I'IN, FOR INSTANCE, DO NOT DESIGN MINOR COLLECTORS WITH EACH INDIVIDUAL DRIVEWAY FRONTING THE STREET. NOTE 1 - PER YOUR MAP, IT SHOWS YOU PLAN TO INTERRUPT 135th WHERE IT INTERSECTS WALNUT WITH A STOP SIGN. BY THE DIVERSION OF TRAFFIC ONTO MURRAY THIS WILL LESSEN THE CONGESTION EXISTING AT BRITTANY, MORNING HILL AND 135th FROM THE WINTERLAKE AREA. WHEN THE MURRAY TO WALNUT EXTENSION IS COMPLETED IT WILL DECREASE TRAFFIC FLOW ON 135th BETWEEN MORNING HILL DRIVE AND BRITTANY WHICH WILL REDUCE OR ELIMINATE ANY WAIT TIME AT 135th AND BRITTANY OR 135th AND MORNING HILL. NOTE 2 - IN YOUR TRAFFIC STUDY, FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IS SHOWN IN RELATIONSHIP TO THE EXTENSION OF GAARDE STREET WITH VERY LITTLE REGARD FOR THE DENSITY ALL THE HOUSES ON BULL MOUNTAIN WILL CREATE. THOSE PEOPLE WILL HAVE THE OPTION OF USING 128th/130th THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, IN ALL PROBABILITY CAUSING THE NUMBER OF CARS USING THE ROAD TO EXCEED THE NUMBER IN THE TRAFFIC STUDY. PAGE 6 OF THE TRAFFIC STUDY STATES "THE AREA WITHIN THE SUMMERLAKE NEIGHBORHOOD IS LARGELY DEVELOPED AT THIS TIME. THE LARGEST UNDEVELOPED AREA IS imemplarml llljIII IF, III III! I'll E, I'IIIII BOUNDED BY HAWKSBFARD, 130th, SCROLLS VERR.Y, AND 135th. THIS AREA COULD BE DEVELOPED AS EITHER SINGLE F'AMI'LY RESIDENCES OR MULTI IILY RESIDENCES. A DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO HAWIKSBEARED A= MAY HAVE ACCESS TO 130th AND 135th BUT PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE ACCESS TO SCROLLS iERRY." THAT BUILD-OUT COULD INCLUDE A ZONE CHANGE TO COMMERCIAL. INQUIRIES TO THE SALE OF SAID PROPERTY HAVE BEEN MADE AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THERE ARE TWO OFFERS ON THE PROPERTY PENDING A ZONE CHANGE TO COMMERCIAL. WE FEEL IF THE PROPERTY IS DEVELOPED AS COMMERCIAL IT WILL ATTRACT CARS LIKE A MAGNET FROM AS FAR SOUTH AS BULL MOUNTAIN. NOTE 3 - WE STRONGLY DISAGREE WITH THE TRAFFIC STUDY STATING THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR ADDING TRAFFIC TO THE STREETS WITHIN THE WINTERLAKE NEIGHBORHOOD IS THE GARRDE EXTENSION. IN OUR OPINION THE TRAFFIC GENERATED BY THE CONTINUING DEVELOPMENT OF THE BULL MOUNTAIN AREA INCLUDING BENCHVIEW TERRACE, 132nd, AND HILLSHIRE WILL SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE CUT-THROUGH TRAFFIC IN THE WINTERLAKE NEIGHBORHOOD. ALREADY THERE IS A GREAT. DEAL OF TRAFFIC FROM BULL MOUNTAIN USING THE STREETS THAT CONNECT WITH WALNUT. AS MORE AND MORE PEOPLE FIGURE OUT IT IS EASIER TO GO OVER THE TOP THEN TO DEAL WITH HWY 99, CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC IS JUST GOING TO INCREASE. IT HAS BEEN STATED THE REASON FOR THE COMPLETION OF THE EXTENSION IS EXCESS TRAFFIC ON 128th AND ON BRITTANY CAUSING SAFETY PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, THE TRAFFIC REPORT SHOWS THIS CONNECTION WILL ONLY INCREASE TRAFFIC ON 128th NORTH OF KATHERINE. WE FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT WITH FUTURE DEVELOPMENT SOUTH OF WALNUT, THE TRAFFIC WILL INCREASE GREATLY ON ALL OF 128th. STRONG CONSIDERATION NEEDS TO BE DEVOTED TO THIS POSSIBILITY BEFORE A DECISION IS MADE ON THE CONNECTION. ACCORDING TO THE TRAFFIC STUDY, THE ONLY LICENSE PLATE SURVEY WAS CONDUCTED EAST OF HAWKSBEARD AT SUMMER LAKE DRIVE. A LICENSE PLATE SURVEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE ON TRAFFIC ON BRITTANY AND WINTERLAKE AND 128th AND KATHERINE TO BETTER DETERMINE THE SOURCE OF TRAFFIC IN THE WINTERLAKE AREA. THIS CONNECTION WOULD DIVIDE A PARK AND WETLANDS WHICH IS A VERY SIGNIFICANT RECREATION AREA AND IF THE PROPOSED DIVERTERS ARE USED AT SUMMER LAKE DRIVE OR SPRINGWOOD DRIVE, THEY WOULD SERVE TO ONCE AGAIN DIVIDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD. BOTH THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION AND THE CITIZENS NATURAL RESOURCE COMMITTEE STRESS THE NEED FOR PLANNING AND DESIGNS THAT ACCOMMODATE PEOPLE AND NEIGHBORHOODS, NOT ONLY CARS. BOTH ITEMS CITED ABOVE WOULD DIVIDE PEOPLE AND NEIGHBORHOODS IN DIRECT OPPOSITION TO THIS CONCEPT. METRO'S LATEST STAFF PROPOSAL WOULD SHIFT 18,000 ACRES OUT OF RURAL ZONING INTO URBAN RESERVES THAT COULD BE REZONED FOR DEVELOPMENT OVER THE NEXT 50 YEARS. A SIZEABLE PROPORTION OF THAT 18,000 ACRES LIES DUE WEST IN THE TIGARD AREA OF THE PRESENT URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY AND SHALL BE SERVICED BY SCHOLLS FERRY AND OTHER STREETS IN THE AREA. THIS WILL IMPACT OUR EXISTING NETWORK OF TRANSPORTATION AND NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED IN THE OVERALL PLANNING. WE OFFER THE FOLLOWING ALTERNATIVES TO THE 130th\WINTERLAKE van mom CONNECTION: A. REMOVE THE 130th/WINTERLAKE CONNECTION FROM THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. B. SPEED BUMPS BE INSTALLED ON ALL ENTRIES TO THE SUMMER LAKE/WINTERLAKE AREA TO ENCOURAGE TRAFFIC TO FLOW ON THE SURROUNDING COLLECTORS OF WALNUT, 135th, SCROLLS FERRY AND 121st. C EXTEND KATHERINE STREET FROM 121st THROUGH TO 128th, WE BELIEVE THIS WOULD ALLEVIATE TRAFFIC THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD AT ITS SOURCE. THE 130th/WINTERLAKE CONNECTION WILL CREATE MORE PROBLEMS THAN IT WILL SOLVE. IT COMPROMISES A CLASS 1 JURISDICTIONAL WETLANDS, OPENS THE DOOR TO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY WITHIN THE PARK, CREATES CUT THROUGH TRAFFIC FROM OUTSIDE THE NEIGHBORHOOD, INCREASES THE DANGER FOR PEOPLE USING THE PARK, BISECTS AN INNER COMMUNITY AND NEGATIVELY IMPACTS THE COMMUNITY ATMOSPHERE THAT NOW EXISTS. ACCORDING TO MR. WOOLEY, PAST PLANNING HAS BEEN POOR. IT IS TIME.

Nall Blvd. Tigard, OR 97223 RE: 130th/Winter Lake Connection Dear Mayor and Councilors: We are opposed to the 130th/Winter Lake Connection for a number of reasons, among them.; The extension will be detrimental to the u neighborhoods around Summer Lake Park. The extension will be detrimental to Summer Lake Park. The extension will degrade the wetlands that are adjacent to Summer Lake Park. NEIGHBORHOOD S: The neighborhoods around Summer Lake value the park not only as a neighborhood park but as a increasingly rare quiet green space. While the park is well used by citizens from all over Tigard and even outside Tigard, as evidenced by the signatures on petitions opposing the extension, it is the neighborhoods that "keep and eye on the park. 11 Neighborhood residents attend meetings to learn about problems; Residents establish patrols to protect the park and the neighborhood from gang problems. Summer Lake Park is rare in that homes directly front on the park. The neighbors can and do meet and talk on the pathways around the park and along the streets bordering the park. They get to know the families from down the street, what children belong to who, what pets live where. This interaction builds a sense of responsibility and connectivity which is becoming more and more scarce. This sense of responsibility benefits not only the neighborhoods but all park users. Programs which promote "ownership", such as the adopt a road program, have proven to be very successful as people take care of what is "theirs", even though it is shared by many others. Conversely, neighborhoods that are divided or isolated by traffic or other factors tend to deteriorate. Projected traffic increases on more of the streets within the neighborhoods will, at the very least, inhibit people walking or bicycling within the neighborhood. 622 residents of the surrounding neighborhoods signed petitions opposing the extension. An additional 157 signatures were obtained from park users who did not live in the neighborhood. (The petitions were submitted to the Council in April 1994.) The Proposgd Transportation Policies of June 1994 prepared by The Citizen Group on Transportation, recognizes the transportation needs for a growing area, but it also clearly states in Policy #6 that there is a need to "Ensure that Tigard is built for people, not cars." RECOMMENDATION: Develop options to solve the traffic problems that are not detrimental to the livability of the neighborhoods. b9UMER T A E P,M The Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1966 (Attachment A) states in part that "The Secretary may approve a transportation program or project requiring the use of publicly owned land of a public park, recreation area, or wildlife and waterfowl refuge of national, State, or local significance, or land of an historic site of national, State or local significance (as determined by the Federal, State, or local officials having jurisdiction over the park, area, refuge or site) only if- 1) there is no prudent and feasible alternative to using that land; and 2) the program or project includes all possible planning to minimize harm to the park, recreation area, wildlife and waterfowl refuge, or historic site resulting from the use." (See Attachment A) While the extension is not a Federal-Aid project, it is common practice for State and local governments to conform as much as possible to Federal guidelines and conventions. Some jurisdictional questions may be raised such as the source of funding for the development of Summer Lake Park and the definition of a significant area, but the intent is quite clear on all levels. For example; o The State of Oregon addresses Natural areas and Scenic areas in Goal 5. Parts of Summer Lake Park, especially the area most affected by the extension, may fall within these definitions. o The city of Tigard identified a high quality Natural Forested Area within Summer Lake Park in the 1994 Forest Study by Arboreal Enterprises. (See Attachment B) o The Citizens Group on Natural Resources determined a negative feature of Tigard being "Lack of parks". They also recommend that in the future Tigard should have "More parks", and "Safe places to bike and walk." All of these items reflect todays concern and emphasis on protecting and preserving such areas. In the past, when the area was far less developed, these items were not as crucial. Today, and even more in the future, we need parks, both active and passive, and as much open space as we can preserve both for ourselves and generations to come. With the West end footbridge that is now in Summer Lake Park, families can walk or bike entirely around the park within the park without being endangered by traffic. Many evenings we have watched families park on the end of 130th, the kids piling out of the car and taking off running down the path or onto the foot bridge to check out the beaver dam. The parents don't have to yell at the kids to watch out for traffic. The footbridge is a perfect boundary between the active park on the East and a passive park on the West. Kids, and adults, can see a beaver dam close up and natural. They 1101 1111 S11,11g,'I III, can see a small pond that is surrounded by trees and a natural environment. They are only a few feet above the water- and they are safe. Groups, such as Families Hosting Foreign Students and church groups, that are having meetings in the park picnic area walk down the path to see the stream from the footbridge. It is a wonderful place for children to move about freely in a natural but safe environment. Neighborhood children plan, ride bicycles, and walk - actually they run more than they walk- in the area freely and safely all the time. The picnic area, basketball courts, tennis courts, and baseball areas are well used both by neighborhood residents and people from all over. If the extension is approved it will: o Require destruction of birms and trees already in and established. o It will probably require chain link fencing around baseball fields, picnic area, and open play areas as this will put the road too close to these areas for children to play safely. Can we not leave a few areas that children can play that aren't surrounded by concrete or chain link? o It will endanger all park users with increased traffic around Winter Lake and on the West end of the park. o Tigards goal was 10 acres of park per 1,000 population; there are only 4 acres per 1,000. Why degrade what little there is? RECOMMENDATIONS: Do not proceed with the widening of Winter Lake Drive until this matter is resolved. If the extension is not completed, there will not be a need to spend the funds to widen Winter Lake and there will not be a need to destroy the trees and birms already in and established. Nor will there be a need to replace the existing birms and trees with chain-link fencing. Keep this park as a unique and wonderful active passive green space for all the citizens of Tigard. Do not allow the extension and subsequent traffic to bisect what is now a natural and beautiful continuum from the wetlands to Summer Lake park. (See attached photos) WETLANDS : The wetlands were identified as a Class I potentially regulated jurisdictional wetlands in 1989 in a study done for the City by Scientific Resources. Development around the area has had to respect the wetlands as a valuable resource. Many of the people who come to enjoy the park walk over to the West side of 130th and stand for a few minutes and just look at the wetlands. They often see Great Blue Herons, many birds, and most importantly, a simply natural area of a decent size that is easily accessible for clear viewing. I don't know of any other place in the city where there is this easy access to view a wetlands. A critical factor is no traffic. People walk or drive to. the end of 130th where they are a then safe to just stand and view the area. Many of them take a look from the top, then walk over and view it from the foot bridge - close up and personal to paraphrase. These two views dive you a perspective on a stream and wetlands that is invaluable. Can this be replaced by mitigation? Can it be duplicated? At what cost? California has spent literally millions of dollars trying to recreate streams, wetlands, and open areas once destroyed. I have not heard of any resounding successes. Once lost, all the components that make up a wetlands - IF they can be identified- seem to take generations, if ever, to return. RECOM OMATIONS : Do a full environmental impact study of the area prior to any changes being considered. Improve the park path entrance from 130th and the approach to the foot bridge to.be handicapped accessible. Consider the factors that cannot be measured by statistics such as the "peace of mind" value to many people who can spend a little time out of an often overly busy life just looking and absorbing the serenity an area such as this offers conveniently and safely. Do not destroy what cannot be replaced. In conclusion, the traffic study did not address any other alternatives to the connection. It also did not address the source, or all significant future sources, of traffic that will impact the neighborhoods, the park, and the wetlands. According to the traffic study, only one point- Brittany at Winter Lake, will have traffic decrease to a truly low level, the second lowest in the area in fact, if the connection is built. Brittany at 135th will still have heavy traffic for a local street while Winter Lake and 128th north of Katherine will have increases of 37% and 34% respectively. (See Attachments C and D). There must be a better solution. Traffic is not the only issue in this matter. To me, and I hope to you, people- the citizens of Tigard- are the most important issue. How we live today, how we will live tomorrow, and how future generations will live must be a crucial factor in any decision. The most important promise any of us can give as individuals and as a society is that we will leave a world for future generations that is hopefully better, and at the least no worse, than what is now. Please help us keep that promise by not degrading the wetlands or the park. Thank you. erely, Rose Tony Cicero 11127 S.W. Eschman Way Tigard, OR 97223 503-524-0836 !I PROMISE,, v PART I.

Tigard City Council Members From: Kathleen McDonald Tigard Property Owner /Resident 12930 S.W. Glacier Lily Circle Tigard, Oregon 97223 Re: 130th Extension off Scholl- Terry Rd. Dear City Council Members: I am adamantly against the extension of 130th to Winter- lake. Reasons: 1. The traffic on 128th and Brittany has been described as fast and dangerous, and the recent traffic study indicate>s traffic on 128th will increase if extension goes through... which would brim:, this type of dangerous traffic directly by a park, play area, tennis and basketball courts, where children gather. Changing the flow of this dangerous, heavy traffic to circle around a quiet., neighborhood park, is not a solution. 2. The road would go across a beautiful, quiet wetland with beaver, blue heron, Canadian geese., and other wilcilife. This is the tranquil, quiet end of SummerLake par),, and to place a busy road across this would mean the end of the blue heron nests, the beaver dam and the landix g of the Canadian geese: in this park. 3. At a recent CIT meeting the 40 or so res_Ldents were asked to prioritize and list improvements they thought were needed in Tigard. They were told they had 5 votes each to place on 5 different projects. One man placed all of his 5 votes on the extension, the ONLY votes the extension received. When told he could not do this, they had to be directed to 5 different project: he refused, and the CIT facilitators said they would note to you that- the vote was not accurate. Now we notice, that the extension is one of the top pri,i ties. as evidensed by this Mtg. ,with 40 people voting on other necessary projects, and close to ONE MILLION DOLLARS of our cities money may be spent? If this haIppens, for what reason do we have -the CIT`s, and why should tax- payers particiapt.e when the majori:_y is not heard? i o 4. This same man presented to you at the. July 26 Council Meeting I attended, a plea from 34 residents on Brittany to go ahead with the extension. `.ihe recent -traffic study indicates Brittany's traffic will. decrease with the extension, however there are only about 24 homes effected, install speed btunps to help the situation. The traffic on Brittany is fast and dangerous, but why direct this same traffic to a gathering place for children? If the residents there feel it is unsafe, why would the city redirect it past a play area? At an expense of close to a MILLION DOLLARS for only 24 homes, and 34 resident,, when we have signatures of almost LOCO residents who DO NOT WANT IT.? 5. ONE MILLION DOLLARS is the amount the engineers are now saying this road-bridge will cost. The residents do not. want it, the increase cut. through traffic will be dangerous to our children, the CIT did not make it a priority, the nark at the west end is quiet and beautiful and enjoyed by hundreds for this reason. 6. ONE MILLION DOLLARS of our money should be spent to im- prove our city, to make it safer for childi en, not more dangerous, to make our parks more enjoyable, not noisy and dangerous with cut through street traffic that scares off the !natural wildlife and destroys a beautiful wetland. The very few people who want this extension, -ay .it is because the traffic by their homes io, s c, dangerous, . . please don't spend one milli:--,n dollars to divert- this traffic away from their 24 homes and directly around a lovely park, a gathering place for our children. For those of you who want the extension... what kind of price do we ALL pay to alleviate your dangerous traffic': When the first child lies injured or dead on Winterlake by the picnic area, are yco-i still goj-ng to feel you and the City Council have done -the correct. thing for the taxpayers in the entire city?

Fall Blvd. Tigard, OR 97223 J S Re: Extension of 130th from Scholls Ferry Road to Winter Lake Drive, Tigard, OR Dear Sirs: As the owner of a home located on Winter Lake Drive across from the Summer Lake Park and wetland area, I would like to join my neighbors in strongly protesting the proposal currently under consideration to extend 130th Street, for the following reasons: 1. The park is heavily used by children in the neighborhood of all ages who access it by crossing Winter Lake Drive. Channeling a heavy volume of faster moving traffic down this street would be a definite hazard to neighborhood children. 2. The park is already extensively used, and has begun to sustain damage from vandalism. Increasing access to the park from Scholls Ferry, particularly if the vacant land on Scholls which currently for sale is developed for a large apartment complex, would severly aggrevate the deterioration of the park. 3. The use of speed islands and bumps has had no appreciable impact on the heavy use of the first phase of Summer Lake by faster moving through traffic and would not be likely to have any more benefit in this neighborhood. It would only represent costly, unsightly window dressing. 4. The plan would cause permanent and irreparable damage to the quality of•life in this neighborhood, a reduction in property values, and is uniformly opposed by all those who would be most directly impacted. . I moved my family here from Los Angeles several years ago to escape growth without regard for human values. I urge you not to repeat the mistakes which have made L.A. such a poor area to raise families in. Very truly ours, James S. Ewald 31- 50 I r Aft August 3, 1994 City Council City of Tigard 13125 S.W. Hall Blvd. Tigard, OR 97223 E~ SUS 05 1994 tx..y b Re: 130th. Street extension ' yu L1. Dear City Council: As residents of Tigard and the Summer Lake neighborhood, we wish to register a strenuous objection to the above proposal. The road extension would do irreparable and irreversible damage to the wetlands and it's wildlife. Even though this area is used by many people, it remains quiet and natural, an oasis of natural beauty surrounded by urban development. As this area continues to grow, such areas will become more and more rare. Surely,,it would be in all our best interests to preserve this area as it is. The increased traffic would be a great danger to children in and around the park. This proposed road would funnel traffic right next to and around the park, picnic, basketball, tennis, and baseball areas. As the traffic study shows, it will also increase traffic on Winter Lake Drive and 128th. St. The only street to benefit will be Brittary Drive. It's just not worth it. The increased traffic and direct access to Sholls Ferry Blvd. will increase the likelihood of crime in the neighborhood. We already have a problem with graffiti in the park. The proposed road will only make the problem worse. We wish to have this proposed road extension removed from the comprehensive plan. Although we can't be present at the City Council meeting, we would like to give this message to our elected officials. Let's leave this beautiful park and fragile wetlands area for our children and future generations to enjoy. Please cancel the plans for the extension of 130th St. Leave our neighborhood quiet and peaceful. S'ncerely, Doug and Do na Jackson 11546 S.W.

Currently, the play areas are buffered from the busier neighborhood streets. 3) The proposed connection will not prevent the possibility of cut- through traffic on the adjoining streets, thus there is no guarantee that the residents will not see a shift in their traffic concerns from one part of the neighborhood to another. 4) If you weigh the financial cost of this project against the expected benefit, you would likely find from a poll of Tigard residents that this money should be directed to, one of the many more pressing needs and concerns in our community. Evidence of this was actually gathered at a spring West CIT meeting when most of the citizens cast their votes for other projects. 1 would ask that the Tigard City Council take a very close look at the ry cost of this proposed connection and ask the question - could these funds be more wisely spent on projects that would contribute to a wider group of Tigard residents. I feel you can argue very strongly that there is already adequate access to Scholls Ferry Road so that the priority of this project is very low. Thank you. Steve & Beckie Wocker 13980 SW 158th Terrace Tigard., OR 97224 503-590-4222 A b. ,w / r~ V •b' V ~ • GC.~I Memorandum - 1 r u'~ L Date: Friday, June 17, 1994 To: Letters/The Tigard Times From: STEVE HOCKER Subject: Summerlake Park Connection There seems to be a lot of confusion concerning the proposed connection of SW 130th to Winterlake Drive adjacent to Summerlake Park in Tigard. Let me say to all of the local residents and users of Summerl-ake Park that there is absolutely no reason that this road should be connected- it simply is not needed. Access to the park is not an issue here. Both 135th and 121st streets have direct access from Scholls Ferry Road. The city's comprehensive plan is and should be a flexible and dynamic plan that changes as a result of the needs of today's citizens - not those that voted 8 to 10 years ago even before most of these homes were built! Emergency vehicle access is not an issue either as none of the existing development could have taken place without the necessary access as required by the codes. Want to hear more - the projected cost to connect these two low volume traffic routes is over half of a million dollars! Add to this the fact that this would have a significant negative impact on the existing wetlands and you come up with a logical decision - don't connect the streets. If you spend any time watching the traffic flow in this area, you will note that most of the traffic flows north on 135th towards Schools Ferry Road and then heads East towards Beaverton and Hwy 217/Washington Square. If the proposed connection were made, it would allow hurried motorists to cut through the subdivision via Morning Hill and Brittany Drive to get onto Scholls Ferry. The volume of cars would skyrocket, the vehicle speeds would increase because the dead end is gone and there would be a whole new set of concerns regarding the safety of pedestrians, children and park users. You don't need a traffic study report to figure this one out! My family and I have visited Summerlake Park many times. Even this past Memorial Day we remarked how quiet and peaceful the park is and how it is buffered from most of the main traffic arterials. I think that most of the residents would like to keep it that way and not open up the park to more traffic, congestion, pollution and safety concerns. If you feel the same way, I would urge you to contact the Tigard City.Council and let them know you want to protect your quality of life. If you wait, the bureaucratic rubber stamp may change the way you feel about the vision our city leaders are promoting. Suggest to them instead, that these funds could be much better spent on other projects that would 1 101 i tieing we can be proud of. is and same be a benefit to our resides ~m O ~O Nq© Steve i-gocker -Tigard, Oregon .j •'1 t t !t Tz; ' i: 1111 gill 11112111 saw,, 11111l :Jlnj~ SUMMER LAKE WETLANDS Wetland habitat is disappearing in the United States at the rate of 260,000 acres per year (U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service). Not only do we lose habitat, but we lose a vast array of fish, wildlife, and other species (e.g. aquatic invertebrates) associated with these wetlands. This loss will be felt by not only present but future generations of Americans. Though mitigation (replacement) of wetlands occurs in some cases, it is not always successful in replacing the original habitat, and may take years to develop into a functioning system. if mitigation occurs offsite (as is often the case), what happens to the species that once used the area, such as the aquatic invertebrates that can°t move? The Summer Lake area is part of an interconnected system of streams, wetlands and riparian habitat that is important and vital for many species, including the followings Great Blue Heron Canada Goose Mallard American Wigeon Ring-necked Duck American Coot Pied-billed Grebe Hooded Merganser Greater Scaup Red-tailed Hawk Sharp-shinned Hawk American Kestrel Northern Flicker Downy Woodpecker Belted Kingfisher Red-winged Blackbird Tree Swallow Violet-green Swallow Bushtit Yellow Warbler Black-capped Chickadee American Robin Marsh Wren Purple Finch House Finch Sparrows Red-breasted Nuthatch Beaver Mink Raccoon Amphibians Reptiles, and many more! A ill IN Many species, such as the Canada Goose and American Wigeon, use the Summerlake area for wintering habitat. It serves as a stopping point (for resting and feeding) for some species on their southerly migration. The extension of 130th street across the lake would be disruptive to wildlife in many ways, and would include the following: 1) Loss of habitat, important to many species, and already in short-supply in the Tigard area. 2) Fragmentation of existing habitat, which in some cases means that an area can cease functioning as it once did (e.g. an area used for nesting will be abandoned). 3) Increased disturbance due to the building of the road and once its completed, disturbance to wildlife from the traffic using the road. 4) An increase in levels of carbon monoxide and other types of pollution due to motorized vehicles. 5) This area has been identified in the Metro Greenspaces Flan as a Natural Area in the Fanno Creek Greenway. Having a road built across this area would diminish its function as a "Natural Area". As a citizen of Tigard and a wildlife biologist greatly concerned about the environmental health of this area, I urge the City of Tigard to DROP their plans to extend 130th street, and spend allocated. dollars to enhance, not destroy the wetland habitat in this area. This will be much more beneficial in both the short and long term for improving the quality of life for wildlife and for the people who live nearby and use this area.

I have been told for many years that a bridge would be built connecting 130th and Winterlake Drive. I live on 128th and have seen the traffic increase dramatically over the last few years. I have attended many neighborhood meetings in which I was assured that the city would build a bridge that would help to reduce the traffic on my street and provide another means of getting to Summedake Park. I cannot understand the controversy which has been promoted by a few people over this issue, and ask that you go ahead with the plans which were approved through the Comprehensive Plan. Both myself and my neighbors are very involved in preserving open spaces and wetlands. We fought development of the recently dedicated Mart Wed ands, and were instrumental in helping to get that land into the hands of the Wetlands Conservancy. I encourage you to provide a bridge with the minimal amount of impact to the wetlands, and to follow all guidelines during construction. This supposed controversy is not about wetlands however. The people who are the newest to our neighborhood are the most vocal about this issue. This issue is about traffic. I want all the residents of these neighborhoods to share the burden of the traffic they created by moving here. I am tired of people using 128th as the major access to the hundreds of homes recently built. The new residents should have seen the signs saying that the bridge would be bunt with future development. Also, from the standpoint of fire, police and safety, I am sure that is what the Plan provided, an easy means to and from the neighborhood.

This nec scary connection of roads has been delayed too long, and now that the neighborhood has been developed, a few otatspoken individuals want you to believe that they don't want their neighborhoods serenity impacted or the wetlands destroyed. Many of my neighbors and friends have lived in this area for years and we have actively participated in the plans as the new areas have been developed. It was wade wear to us by then Mayor Town Brian and other city officials including Keith Lydon and Handy Wooley that the traffic problems created by the new developments would be eased by the construction of the bridge, and to please be patient as those areas developed. My friends, the areas ARE developed, and we want the city to proceed with weir promise to build the bridge! I have spoken to many neighbors_in the affected neighborhoods, many of whom signed a petition for saving the wetlands and not assessing us for the construction and maintenance of the bridge. (See attached TIGARD NEIGHBORS letter from Greg Gerking) min, 1 want to say that this controversy does not center around those topics, it is a tactic being used by those few who want others to believe that it is though. The real issue is TRAFFIC and sharing the burden of the traffic those neighbors created when they moved there. I suppwt a safe CITY park with acmes for ALL residents of Tigard, with an emphasis on protecting all the children who frequent there, not ;guest those selfish enough to want tha park for themselves. I support the preservation of thewetlands with the absolute minimum impact to the creels. I support a viable access to the neighborhood from Scholls Ferry for the safety and securRy of those affected. I supported the city ten years agog with the Comprehensive Plan, and still do support the city now. 1 want action by the city to go ahead with the bridge and stop thiaa controversy from expanding into something it is not. R was the desire of the Co ehensive Plan to foresee the needs of the neighborhoods as they expanded, it is your responslAlty to implement the plan and to see through the snooke screen that sonde now residents want you to be3ieve.

The controversy over the proposed bridge at Summercreek is not about wetlands or a rise in taxes as was suggested to me. I now know that the controversy centers around traffic and those who live in the immediate area surrounding the proposed bridge don't want any! I want a safe city park, I want the city to be responsible for protecting the wetlands, and I want you to provide this bridge for access into and out of the neighborhood as I now know has been proposed for years. The increase in traffic on my street and on SW Brittany has been awful. I realize that people using the park will take the easiest route available, which to me is fine. This is a city park and should be easily accessible to all. The residents nearest the park should have their own access into and out of their neighborhoods. This bridge would provide easy access as well as reducing the traffic problems they create in other neighborhoods.

Tigard, OR 97223 Re: Extension of 103th Street Dear City Council: We would fake to let you know that we strenously object to the extension of 130th street across the neighborhood wetlands. The increased traffic would change the character of the neighborhood, and would be a great danger to our children. This purposed road would funnel traffic right next to and around the park, picnic, basketball and baseball areas recently develped on the south side of the wetlands. We also think it will increase traffic on Brittany Drive, Summer Lake and S.W. Hawksbeard. We wish to have this purposed road extension removed from the comprehensive plan thus leaving these precious wetlands intact, and keeping the area safe for our children.

Tigard City Council Members, City of Tigard From : Steve Hocker, 13980 SW 158th Terrace, Tigard, OR Subject : 130th Street Connection I attended the Tuesday West Tigard CIT meeting and felt that I should convey my thoughts and concerns in writing to the Tigard city council. After listening to all of the speakers on both sides of the issue, I would have to say that there was no guarantee or definite advantage to going through with the connection of this road. The road would open up for through traffic a'parcel of land that is quiet, abundant with wildlife and now provides a buffer to the existing wetlands that are inside and adjacent to Summerlake Park. I would support that we go ahead with the building of the foot/bike bridge to provide easier access to pedestrian and bicyclists and to provide an observation point to view the wildlife. I understand that there is a volunteer citizens group that has offered to construct the bridge. I would also encourage that any available funds be spent toward the completion of the proposed parking area for Summerlake Park and the improvement of 130th out to Scholls Ferry Road. The fact that there are some neighborhood residents concerned about cut-through traffic on their streets is an unfortunate inconvienence but the connection of 130th across Summer Creek is not a proper or realistic solution to their concerns. We are all facing the issues of increased neighborhood traffic and these can be mitigated through traffic and speed controls coordinated by the Tigard Police department. opening up another route for cut-through traffic only shifts the problem from one part of the neighborhood to another. - Let's preserve the peace,and tranquility of the neighborhoods that surround Summerlake Park and spend the funds on a much more worthy application.

Hall Boulevard Tigard, OR 97223 Dear City Council Members, This is in regard to the. purposed extension of 130th Street through the area known as Summer Lake Park. Over five years ago we moved here from Florida. Our friends asked us, "what's in Oregon... besides all that rain". The answer... the beautiful environment and the respect that citizens and government alike have shown towards it. Among the most noteworthy of examples is the network of greenways in and around the Portland metropolitan area, including Tigard. One such example is the park at Summer Lake. Here one can witness many species of birds year- round; geese, ducks, and a variety of seasonal birds that would not be here if not for the lake. Some of the birds use the lake and grassy areas for their winter home and spring nesting. Residents and visitors can also enjoy the park's facilities on those days when there isn't "all that rain". The connection between man and nature's enjoyment of Summer Lake is the fact that the area is secluded from the effects of traffic. The disruption caused by vehicle traffic would have a detrimental effect on the very essence of the wetlands and park area. The purposed extension would cut through the natural "runway"- provided by the wetlands leading to the lake which is ideal for Canadian geese and other water fowl. The citizens in our area also have this place to run without the worry of vehicle traffic; perhaps only having to watch for crossing ducks. Building a roadway through this area would have a significant environmental impact extending beyond the wetlands into the neighborhood surrounding of Summer Lake. There would be increased traffic from drivers coming from the areas south of the lake looking for that quick shortcut. In fact, the purposed extension would save only a few minutes versus taking North Dakota or 135th Street. So we. ask you, the City Council, please do not make this area another concrete development. Save this wetlands and our neighborhood. Take a trip to Florida and see why we feel this wayl Sin rely, s - t51 l Steven & Frances aralC sue, 0 ;M1.r I A 1~ I APR 1 199y` March 29, 1994 `;v u To Whom It May Concern: We would like it noted as residents of the Summer Lake neighborhood that we are strongly opposed to the proposed extension.b.ridge from Winter Lake to Summer Lake.

The main agenda item was a discussion on the extension of 130th Avenue with a traffic bridge over the wetlands to connect to Winterlake Avenue at Sunmerl&ke park. Our house is on the east end of the lake but we are vitally interested in the outcome of this street extension on the west end as well as eliminating the delay in proceeding with the foot bridge on this west end. At the C.I.T. meeting, a recommendation vote on the street extension issue was not taken. Although the majority did not want the traffic bridge/street extension, there was a vocal minority who dad want it. Accordingly with this split, a concensus was not reached. However, on the item of the footbridge, there was nearly unanimous approval that this project be completed this year. We did not see nor hear any dissenters. We could all see that the materials are on hand and paid for. We understand the Tigard Rotary Club has offered to provide the labor to assemble this footbridge free of charge to the City. The reason given by the City Engineer, Kr. Wooley, for the hold-up was that the traffic bridge might make the location of the footbridge questionable. While we respect tor. Wooley's concern, we do believe the footbridge can go in at once without interference on feature road plans. This footbridge was planned at the extreme end of the creek where it connects to the lAe. The street extension would have to curve away from the footbridge in order to connect to the traffic bridge as Winterlake and 130th are not in line one with the other.' The future road extension and trafficbridge while possible„ would seem to have many obstacles such as wetland mitigEitioaa,'right-of-way acquisition for a standard roam width to connect to Scholls Ferry Road with possible traffic light installation due to the tremendous increase in traffic siitce:8883_when.the,plan was made. The engineering studies for the bridge and road could be- bstantl'l._.The biggest hurdle of all is total cost. _ It is not 'hard to imagine this cost ;waanlla ;emceed .$8,500,000.

Cam..,, ~.P City of Tigard ~ p~ 13125 S.W. Ball Blvd. Tigard, Oregon 97223 Re : 130th Street extension Dear City Council: Jam writing you to register my strong objection to the above proposal. I see no benefits in pursuing the exiting comprehensive plan which was written many years ago, and is now out of touch with the surrounding area. Being a mother of small children my main concern is for their safety. I live directly across the street from the park on Winterlake Drive and constantly observe cars speeding up and down i the street and cringe at the thought of someone getting hurt. I feel that extending 130th to Scholls Ferry Rd. will only add to this problem by opening up the neighborhood to a main thoroughfare. I am also greatly concerned about crimes committed against children and feel that the proposed 130th extension passes through areas in the park which cannot be directly viewed by the neighboring houses thus, providing not only a concealed location, but an easy access onto a main mad. As it stands now a person must drive through various established neighborhood watch programs to leave the area. I strongly believe the same arguement holds true on crimes committed on personal property, and feel that extending 130th to Scholls Ferry Rd. would only make this area more i vulnerable. Isn't one method of protecting a neighborhood from crime to place blockades on major thoroughfares to deter criminals? So why does the city want to open our neighborhood up to these kinds of problems? Lastly, I am very angered over the willingness of the city to pour our tax dollars into a project that really has no benefits except to provide a shortcut which at most would save a driver a couple of minutes by circumventing 135th and directly taking 130th onto Scholls Ferry road. I feel the extension of 130th is a mistake, and although I have only touched on those issues which concern me most my objections are just a few of many, and as such, would like this proposed road extension removed from the comprehensive plan. I feel the money set aside for this project could be better spent elsewhere. In particular I would like to see road signs be placed adjacent to the park telling motorists to slow down children playing! Could Winterlake Dr. be extended out 122nd thus relieving the amount of traffic 128th. and Katherine, and the western portion of Winterlake Dr. has to accommodate? What abut using the money set aside from 130th to finish paying off the L.I.D. on 135th which was a welcomed improvement to the residents of Wmterlake, Morning Bill, Brittany, and the surrounding areas, but at a high price which proved to J be very unfair considering how it has come to be the life line to so many other areas who did not ! have to pay the price we did? If all else fails I still. strongly feel that doing nothing far out weighs the thought of wasting tax payers money to make a frivolous move such as the extension of 130th. Again, couldn't this money really be better severed somewhere else? Thank you Sincerely, Ericka Ilffrtf - r law. a• 1 OREGON April 5, 1994 Ms. Kathleen M. Meredith 32825 S.W.

Hall Blvd. Tigard, Oregon 97223 Re: 130th -Winter Lake Drive Connection Dear City Council: I would like to thank the City Council for postponing further action with regard to this issue pending input from the West Tigard CIT meeting on April 5th. We expect to show strong support against this proposal at that meeting. My opposition to this proposal is based on both environmental concerns and increased traffic next to the park. I feel that building a vehicle bridge to connect 130th and Winter Lake Drive across Summer Creek will do irreparable and irreversible damage to this wetland and its wildlife. There are numerous forms of wildlife that inhabit this wetland. Besides the numerous varieties of the more common birds, there are ducks, geese, and blue herons that inhabit this wetland. In addition, beaver, nutria, and even deer have been spotted in this area. The city of Tigard is truly fortunate to have such a unique wetland accessible to the residents of this area. I feel very strongly that areas of this type cannot successfully be replaced by mitigation. The city of Tigard received earlier this year, a grant of $12,500.00 from the Oregon Division of State bands to help plan and protect wetlands. Among the reasons given for Tigards' selection for this award was the quality of their wetland conservation programs. It would not cost the city of Tigard a single dollar to conserve tbis wetland. The construction of this bridge would certainly damage the city's reputation for wetland conservation. The city has a unique opportunity to provide a visual learning experience for children of this area. Our children have few opportunities to view wildlife in a natural setting. The city could spend money much more wisely by constructing a footbridge and nature trails in this area. The Summer Lake Homeowners Association has committed to a donation to the City for the purchase of materials for a footbridge. These materials have been purchased and are currently stacked in this area awaiting construction of the footbridge by the City. I am also opposed to this proposal based on the impact the increased traffic would have on users of Summer Lake park and the area residents. The area that I am most concerned about is the area around the softball field and basketball courts. The existing condition is dangerous for children during times of peak park usage. This proposal would make the situation many times worse. 15 The current condition provides no off street parking for users of the park. The on street parking situation in this area is dangerous for both users of the park and residents of the area. When park users park their vehicles on the street, there is not adequate roadway remaining for two way traffic. In addition there is a lot of pedestrian and bicycle usage in this area. This roadway is located within twenty five feet of the basketball courts and softball field. With the existing condition, it is only a matter of time before someone is injured in this area. I strongly advocate the construction of a parking lot between the two playgrounds, just east of the group picnic area. This area would require little extra work to construct a gravel or paved parking lot. Parking in this area would be centralized for the major use areas of the park. There is currently a temporary grass parking lot in this area. In conjunction, I would discourage or eliminate on street parking along the park perimeter. I would discourage the construction of parking too close to the playground areas. In addition to the cost of the brige itself, the proposal would require major road improvements on 130th, including the relocation of utility poles. I understand that the cost of the bridge itself is estimated to be about $500,000.00. I would expect necessary road improvements to be several hundred thousand dollars more. I also understand that the city has not yet purchased the necessary right of way along 130th. The Friends of Summer Lake has met with a representative from the Summer Lake Homeowners Association. We have also met with the Morning Hill Homeowners Association. Alone of the groups that we have met with support this proposal. The only support we have found for the proposal is a few individuals from within the area. s Among those people opposed to this proposal, are residents on 1morning hill Drive, Brittany Drive, and 128th. According to your city engineers, these are areas that would benefit by this proposal, by having traffic diverted away from their streets. The majority of these residents are opposed to the bridge, even though it could mean less traffic in their neighborhood. Many of us feel that the completion of this project would mean an increased number of Beaverton residents cutting through Tigard residential streets to get to Pacific Highway, Hwy. 217. and 1-5. That situation currently exists with 121st, 135th and Walnut. There is no possible economic benefit for the residents of this area. There are also no commercial businesses that could benefit from this proposal. This proposal will only cost the city and its residents. The goal for myself and the Friends of Summer bake is to have this proposal removed from the comprehensive plan. We see absolutely no reason for the city to proceed with this proposal given the opposition to it and the lack of support for it. 40 „ w a w I strongly encourage each and every one of you to visit this area.

Pushing this road through would destroy wetlands and large trees and funnel through traffic right next to and around the Summer Lake park, picnic, basketball and baseball areas recently developed on the south side of the wetlands. This entire area was designed to do just the opposite with culdesacs, other nonthrough streets, etc. With 130th a through street (connecting with Winterlake Street), this would radically change. I am very concerned about enviromentally sensitive areas and their rapid destruction for projects that make absolutely no sense such as the above. We are all gradually being pushed into a world of cement, pollution and noise. I cannot understand why anyone would want to demolish this natural wonder for any reason let alone to create a traffic nightmare. You spent a great deal of money putting a beautiful park here which is used by countless people.. Even school buses full of children come to this area to study the wetlands and the many animals that inhabit it. The species of birds would be hard to count as well as beavers, nutria and even a family of deer that live here. Your engineers simply justify running a road through this by saying that mitigation will take care. of it. Have any of you studied mitigation and its efficacy?. If so, you will find that it has not proven effective and many times it is promised and not done. Why would anybody in their right mind destroy what has been in existence for unknown years and try to replace that. It can't be done! I find it ironic that the City of Tigard was just awarded $12,500 Page Two from the federal government because of its great job of preserving wetlands. I for one would like to know just how that fits in with the above purposal. Have any of you bothered to come to this area to see for yourselves just what your road would do? There should be strenuous laws to protect wetlands such as these. No one should be allowed to touch them ever. Prove to us that you do care, that you will stop this crazy road purposal and take it off the comprehensive map for once and forever.

UL7`]`:.~., u t~ Dear City Council: - As a resident of Tigard and the Summer Lake neighborhood, I wish to register a strenuous objection to the above proposal. The road extension would do irreparable and irreversible damage to the wetlands and. it's wildlife. Even though this area is used by many people, it remains quiet and natural, an oasis of natural beauty surrounded by urban development. As this area continues to grow, such areas will become more and more rare. Surely, it would be in all our best interests to preserve this area as it is. The increased traffic would be' a great danger to children in and around the park. This proposed road would funnel traffic right next to and around the park, picnic, basketball, tennis, and baseball areas recently developed on the south side of the wetlands. It probably will also increase traffic on Brittany Drive, Summer Lake and S.W. Hawksbeard. Speed control will be difficult. There is no possible economic benefit for the city or surrounding neighborhoods. I wish to have this proposed road extension removed from the comprehensive plan. Let's leave this beautiful park and fragile wetlands area for our children and future generations to enjoy.

Hall Blvd. MAR 03 1 994 Tigard, OR 97223 CJ I'SC✓Dear City Council Members: I am writing to express my concern regarding a proposed road across the Summer Lake Wetlands, connecting Winter Lake Drive and 130th and Scholls Ferry Road. Such a road extension would surely cause damage to the wildlife in this natural area. As Tigard continues to grow, it will be especially important to preserve a natural green space such as this with its restful quiet and many birds. Also, the play areas of the park are visited by many child- ren, and increased traffic-;could be a danger to them. j There would be cars passing right next to the recently- I completed picnic, basketball, and basefall areas. In my opinion, a footbridge and nature trail would be less costly and of far greater value. I cannot see any benefit i to the city of Tigard that would arise from this proposed road. ' i I hope you will find time to visit Summer Lake and will come to agree that this proposed road extension should be removed from future plans. Thank you for your kindness in giving this matter your serious thought. Sincerely yours, Elizabeth S. Jackson 4: OR M1 1 21!

STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council approve the vacation as requested. - INFORMATION SUMMARY Council initiated this vacation (vicinity map; Exhibit A) at a public meeting held on June 28, 1994 (Res. 94-26; Exhibit B). Renaissance Development Corporation, the petitioner, requests City Council approval to vacate a 165 square foot portion of a pedestrian easement along the uthern boundary of Lot 8 (shown as area B on Exhibit A), of the Hart's Landing division. . A pedestrian easement was provided (Exhibit C) with the Harts Landing subdivision approval (SUB 92-0003/PDR 92-0001/MIS 92-0006). This vacation request was required as a condition of approval (Exhibit D) for a lot line adjustment (MIS 94-0012) between Lots #8 and #9 of the Hart's Landing subdivision. With the adjustment of the property line the pedestrian easement will be relocated so it continues to abut the new property line of Lot #8, as provided in the subdivision approval. Vacation of the remaining original easement is therefore required. Appropriate agencies have been contacted and have offered no objections to this easement vacation. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 1. Deny the vacation request. 2. Take no action at this time. FISCAL NOTES All fees have been paid by the applicant. ill !1 11 5ill Mauwr B CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON RESOLUTION NO. 94- Q6 A RESOLUTION CONCERNING THE VACATION OF A 165 SQUARE FOOT PORTION OF A PEDESTRIAN .S t,TI' ON LOT #8, RMIT' S LANDING SUBDIVISION WHEREAS, the plat of Hart's Landing dedicated a public pedestrian easement on Lot #8; and, WHEREAS, a 1.65 square foot portion of that easement is no longer necessary; and, WHEREAS, the owner of the affected lot has requested that the easement be vacated; and, WHEREAS, the Tigard City Council finds it appropriate to initiate proceedings for the requested vacation. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Tigard City Council that: Section 1: The Tigard City Council initiates a request for vacation of a portion of a pedestrian easement located on Lot #8 of the Hart's Landing subdivision, as more particularly described in Exhibit "A".

PASSED : This lL day of 1994. ~o LtiYa - City of Tigard ST: AJAV City Recorder - i jof Tigard being given to reducing the numbers of significant tress to be removed. The developer will be required to provide erosion control measures during the course of subdivision and home construction in order to reduce impacts 'upon the wetland area. 3. The subdivision proposal is consistent with policy 3.5.4 because the proposal includes a bicycle/pedestriam path on lot 8 connecting the proposed development to the existing pathway system in Englewood Park. This, area of Tigard is well served by pedestrLan/bicycle pathWi This proposed connection will provide the proposed development with access to not only the pathway system for tranaportation purposes but will also provide access to public playground equipment in the park.

Publ Improvements to be constructed og ® v s A 1 will need to include an eight foot wide pathway within the easemut. The applicants engineer, Bill McMonagle, offered that the area of the pedestrian/bicycle pathway will be gonad from adjoining lots to the west. 4. In order to comply with Policy 4.2.1, conditions of approval are warranted requiring the developer to submit an erosion control plan ensuring compliance with erosion control standards for the Tualatin River Basin and to obtain a IMES permit as part of the grading t permit application. 5. This subdivision proposal complies with policg•..7-.1.2,...7..3.1, .7.4.4 and 7.6.1 because the applicant will extend public sewer and water system td this site-and will provide for undsrground i"stallaation of ;phone, electricity, and cable television lines. The Fire District and Water District have reviewed the proposal and have not raised concerns with the proposed de elopment°s effects upon the public water supply's capacity or water pressure. 6. The subdivision proposal complies with Policy 8.1.1 and 8.1.3 because 'the -Vrb'l" ` nt0 to' tPW ' lic - atraetaa adjoining this site grill 'bee c6n aistent with city of Tigard standar%jg and should provide a safe and efficient network of- local streets in the proposed development.

The applicant had requested an exception to the 25 foot undisturbed buffer area adjacent to -sensitive areas requirement of the Unified Sewerage Agency Surface Water Management regulations (R&O 91-47, as amended by R&O 91-7S). The exception would have allowed portions of the 2S feet adjacent to wetlands on the site to b6 included within lots 2-6 instead of being placed in a separate buffer tract as is usually raaquire+id. The applicant proposed that "compensating buffer area' betcaeen lots 6-8 and other portions of the wetland area be set aside from developannent.• The lot setback from the wetlands in this Y area would be 50 feet rather than the 2S foot requirement.

Woolev DEPT HEAD OK ,-yv CITY ADMIN OK ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Amenament of TMC Title 12 to adopt current rules and regulations of the Unified Sewerage Agency (USA). STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adoption of the attached ordinance. INFORMATION SUMMARY The cities within the USA boundary are required to follow USA rules and regulations regarding sanitary sewers and surface water management. However, in order for the rules to be enforceable in municipal court, the rules must be adopted into the municipal code. The municipal code needs to be updated to reflect a number of changes that have occurred in the USA rules and regulations. The attached ordinance, prepared be the city attorney's office, will bring the municipal code current with all USA regulations related to sanitary sewer and surface water management. Earlier this year, there was Council discussion of a $3,000 surcharge on connections to the sanitary sewer system for properties that had not participated in construction of the public sewer lines. On advice of the city attorney's office, the surcharge has not been collected since March 3, 1994. USA has eliminated the surcharge. Adoption of the attached ordinance will repeal the portions of the municipal code which previously adopted the surcharge. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED FISCAL NOTES rw/usa-ord 1 n! :01 r
