Associate Planner Roberts reviewed the staff report on file with the Council packet material. C. Public Testimony > Martha Bishop, 10590 S.W. Cook Lane, Tigard, OR 97223 read her testimony.

Ms. Bishop reported that the Central and East CITs voted by a majority present to emphasize the Fanno Creek corridor Greenspace trails and pathways. a Pat Phillips, 14165 S.W. Fanno Creek, attended a South CIT meeting. The South CIT voted to support what the Planning Commission also recommended; that is, projects identified as F4, 2, F5, and Fl. Mayor Nicoli noted that one of Metro's groundrules is that if the property owner says "no" then the property will not be considered for purchase. > Richard Weijo, 8110 S.W. Bond Street, Tigard, OR 97224 advised he was a member of the Friends of Tigard Greenspaces. He supported F5. He also suggested that other funding sources be pursued and for the neighborhoods to be contacted. His organization strongly supports the purchase of the Gage property. > Jack Broome, The Wetlands Conservancy, Inc., Box 1195, Tualatin, OR 97062 referred to a letter dated December 11, 1995. (A copy of this letter is on file with the Council packet material.) He urged the City to purchase the four-acre Gage property. The Wetlands Conservancy raised, in donations and pledges, approximately $32,000 CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - DECEMBER 19, 1995 - PAGE 10 toward the $150,000 purchase price and has a challenge grant for the final $10,000 once the first $140,000 has been raised. Mayor Nicoli asked Mr. Broome what he thought if 2-3 sites were sold for homes in order to help buy the remaining Gage property for greenspace. In addition, Mayor Nicoli also referred to street connectivity and a portion of the property may be used to connect streets in this area. Mr. Broome advised he would have to check with the board but he would discourage this approach. Less property would mean diminished value as a greenspace9 the intent of the Board OFM was to acquire the four acres. > Melissa Barrett, 13800 S.W. Fern Street, supported the purchase of the property in the Fern Street area as the No. 1 priority. (See map and petition submitted by Ms. Barrett which is on file with the packet meeting material.)

Riverwood Lane, Tigard, OR 97224, distributed a packet of information on the purchase of Cook Park Parcel (F-2) with Greenspace bond funds. Mr. Counts reviewed his written testimony citing the areas where the Cook Park parcel met greenspaces local selection criteria. (See Mr. Counts' information. which is on file with the Council packet material.) > Elizabeth Lewis, 13990 S.W. Fern Street, Tigard, OR 97223, distributed a report from the West CIT - Meeting of December 5. (This report is on file with the Council packet material.) The West CIT recommended priorities of properties and advised that land acquisition should be a priority over trail development. The West CIT was concerned that the Planning Commission seemed to ignore both the staff report's ranking of greenspace areas and public support for individual areas in making their decision on greenspace ranking. > Scott White, 14423 S.W. 130th, Tigard, Oregon, advised he was adjacent to the F-3 parcel. He said he was concerned about the possibility that this property will be developed. The property, while the most expensive, was of significant size and would allow for a variety of uses. He urged that it be left in its current state for wildlife and vegetation. Mr. White referred to the problems of leaving just a CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES - DECEMBER 19, 1995 - PAGE 11 NEW- few trees which become vulnerable to wind and insect damage. He referred to this property's access which would mean that people would be able to come to enjoy the area. Mayor Nicoli asked if portions of this property could be used for residential use to help pay for the purchase. Mr. White advised that he thought this was a possibility; however, he was not advocating this. The property is available for sale. > Stephanie' Williams, 13865 S.W. Fern Street, supported the Fern Street property for purchase for greenspace. > John Lewn, 13990 S.W. Fern Street, Tigard, OR 97223, advised that his property was protected by trees during the recent storm. He advised that wind funnels through the valley where the Fern Street property (F4) is located. If some trees are removed, then trees will be in danger of falling. He urged the Council to walk this property. > Sandra Lepper, 13829 S.W. Fern Street, Tigard, OR 97223, advised she purchased her home because of its location. She said she would hate to "see it destroyed." > Mark Ilereim, 13194 S.W. Clear View Way, Tigard, OR 97223 supported the property identified as F3. > Liz Callison, 69395 S.W. Knightsbridge Drive, Portland OR 97219, testified as a member of the Friends of West Bills Streams. She supported the purchase of the Gage property. She advised she has worked with Metro on open spaces and has also worked in a similar fashion with a Clackamas and Washington County group. She urged the City of Tigard to consider creative options to augment their share of the local greenspaces funds to look at this money as seed money. d. Council discussion followed. There was concern about the timing for some of the properties. For example, the Fern Street property is under consideration at this time in a public hearing process for residential development. The Task Force will be formed utilizing CIT members which will bring their recommendations to the City Council. Mayor Nicoli suggested the Task Force consist of CIT members, Friends of Fanno Creek and a Tualatin River special interest group.

QUESTION #2 ® We would support strategy 1.5 as the recommended strategy for the RWSP. We would also recommend in a very strong conservation element in what strategy is finally agreed upon. The conservation element should include but not be limited to conservation rates, outdoor use, educational programs, plumbing code revisions, and industrial user standards. QUESTION #3 ® Changes recommended include more investigation on the use of gray water for irrigation - the whole water reuse issue More community involvement, start at grass roots with school kids, civic groups and other targeted groups. The success of the Plan will only work if individuals within the region understand the purpose. QUESTION #4 ® We would support a formal consortium of agencies working together on water issues in the region. A couple of areas this would benefit from this consortium - working on capital projects that would benefit regional use and conservation education and programming and all agencies being informal as to what others needs are. The City of Tigard appreciates the regional concept of water supply planning, while allowing agencies to continue to develop their own supply plans and begin planning for their own future needs. We support the group and it is our intent to continue to participate in these regional issues.

BOARD MEETING MINIJTES TIGARD CITY HALL. 13125 SW HALL BLVD., TIGARD, OREGON 97223 OCTOBER 26, 1995 - 6:30 P.M. Roll Call: Tigard City Council - Members Present: Mayor Nicoli, Councilor Rohlf, Councilor Scheckla. Members Absent: Councilor Hawley and Councilor Hunt. Tigard/Tualatin School District Board - Members Present: Board Chair Haas, Director Biggs, Director Carlson, Director Hieb, Director Thomas. Superintendent Russ Joki City of Tigard staff - City Administrator William A. Monahan, Community Development Director Jim Hendryx, City Engineer Randy Wooley. 1. Senate Bill 908 - Growth Planning Superintendent Joki introduced the draft Executive Summary prepared by the District to place on file with the City to meet the needs of the Comprehensive Plan. Community Development Director Hendryx reviewed the efforts that went into the Bill passed by the Legislature in 1993. He reviewed the highlights of the plan, required of cities and counties having a high growth school district. The School Board will begin review of the plan at its meeting later in the evening. The City of Tigard needs to schedule a review following Board consideration. Superintendent Joki explained how normal school capacity is defined by the District. He explained that the plan contains a formula to project the number of students expected from any new residential development in the District. The formula is patterned after that developed for Beaverton. Councilor Scheckla asked what the District's plans are for the Fowler Junior High site. Director Biggs noted that the JOINT TIGARD CITY COUNCIL AND TIGARD/TUALATIN SCHOOL BOARD MEETING - OCTOBER 26, 1995 PAGE 1 - scenario was selected and aDDlied to the plan. He described the assumptions that went into the analysis. Student projections were based on Forilana Seaic University figures. The projected capital cost for this growth is approximately $3 million. The analysis presents anticipated needs over several periods. It appears a high school is not needed during the next ten years. Staff recommends the medium scenario until some enrollment figures are factored in during coming years. Superintendent Joki explained the maps attached to the report, which illustrate two areas in which sites for new elementary schools have been identified as being available. The School Board will adopt a plan in the next few weeks; then it will be referred to the City Council for adoption. Community Development Director Hendryx pointed out that Intergovernmental Agreements will also be reviewed and acted on to carry out the program. Superintendent Joki noted that Washington County, which also must agree to the program, will not meet the December 31 deadline for adoption, due to its ordinance adoption process. 2. Tigard Triangle Update Community Development Director Ilendryx gave an update on the City's efforts in the Tigard Triangle. He related the City's obligations of finding adequate public facilities, specifically transportation facilities, when reviewing land use proposals in the Triangle area. He noted that no solution has been identified to date. The DLCD staff is assisting the City to address the issues. The Department of Environmental Quality is encouraging ways to reduce the number of automobile trips. Within the next two years, DEQ will be requiring employers of more than 50 employees to reduce the number of auto-related trips within a two year period. Design standards are under review. The City is planning to come back with an update of Tigard Triangle issues and projects for a Council work session, inviting Triangle property owners in early December. The School District has a March, 1996 closing date on the Phil Lewis School property. Director Carlson asked if the transportation concerns would be addressed by then. Mayor Nicoli explained that progress has been made; some funding sources have been identified, but it is not clear that all issues will be resolved by the School District's deadline. JOINT TIGARD CITY COUNCIL AND TIGARD/TUALATIN SCHOOL BOARD MEETING - OCTOBER 26, 1995 PAGE 2 BOMB _ Chair Haas recalled that ODOT had said in a meeting during the.gnmmpr of 149__5 Mat K was not concerned with the Phil Lewis School site, except for the 72nd Avenue problem. Mayor Nicoli noted that ODOT's position will be known to all, once applications are filed. He also stated that the urban arterial program could provide funding to provide some of ODOT's concerns. 3. Phil Lewis School Update - Superintendent Joki advised the application for a zone change will be filed in the coming week. 7:35 p.m. - Councilor Rohlf left the meeting. 4. Durham Signal and School Construction Update - Superintendent Joki stated that bids will be opened later in the evening on the Durham School construction. The Tigard Hearings Officer heard the school construction application on October 23. City staff found that the traffic report submitted by the School District indicated that traffic generated by the school construction would not warrant requiring a signal at 79th and Durham. The City has allocated funds to participate in the signal. The District will open bids and determine if funds are available to cover the remaining costs. Mayor Nicoli stressed that the City would like the District to contribute. Director Biggs stated that she originally heard a figure of around $25,000 as the District's share. The present share, estimated in the $50,000 range, is very high. Chair Haas asked if the City has considered an LID. City Administrator Monahan stated that an LID could be constructed in a variety of ways, but given the relatively low cost of the signal and the fact that residential properties would be involved, the likelihood of a Local Improvement District is limited. Discussion was held about the generation of users of the signal; namely pedestrian traffic. Director Biggs noted that the off-school hour use of the signal could create a potential need for a crossing guard. Board members feel that much of the use of the signal will be by non-school related uses. City Engineer Wooley explained the schedule for signal insta'lation. Superintendent Joki noted that the District did budget $25,000 for the signal, and will try to find other sources for funding. Mayor Nicoli noted that the City will also try to identify funding to make up the difference between the School District contribution and that of the City. JOINT TIGARD CITY COUNCIL AND TIGARD/TUALATIN SCHOOL BOARD MEETING - OCTOBER 26, 1995 PAGE 3 ate., ii9LC11 l^.Ul11Irl~IIL'. Sally Christensen stressed that the safety of the children is most important. She noted the problem of expecting children to walk to Hall Blvd. in order to cross Durham. She expressed her disappointment in the School District. She feels the signal is needed for safety. Kent Patton lives in the area across from Durham School, and has children. He feels the children will be more safe using a signal, even during those times when there is no crossing guard present. 5. Non-Agenda - Tigard Emergency Plan City Administrator Monahan outlined the City efforts towards Emergency Management Preparedness. He encouraged the District to coordinate with City efforts, particularly in offering shelter for those needing emergency housing. Superintendent Joki noted the District has its own Emergency Preparedness plan, and is interested in working with the City.

INFORMATION SUMMARY The Tigard Downtown Merchants Association (TDMA) has requested that approximately 20 spaces be designated for 15-minute parking on Main Street. TDMA has submitted a map showing the spaces to be designated as 15-minute zones and evidence that the adjoining businesses support the proposed restrictions. he attached ordinance will amend the Municipal Code to provide for the 15- inute parking zones. The proposed ordinance gives the City Engineer authority to designate the specific parking spaces to have the 15-minute time limit; this will allow flexibility to revise the designated spaces in the future, if necessary, to reflect changes which may occur in the adjoining businesses. The ordinance makes the time limits effective during the same hours as the existing two-hour limits on Main Street. Finally, the revisions to existing TMC Section 10.28.110 will eliminate an existing obsolete reference to a loading zone "in front of the city hall" on Main Street. The map showing the specific parking spaces proposed by TDMA will be available at the Council meeting. In discussions with Police Chief Goodpaster, the TDMA has agreed that enforcement of the 15-minute parking will be on a "voluntary compliance" basis, with TDMA to provide a program to place polite reminders on the windshields of violating vehicles.

MEMORANDUM CITY OF TIGARD, OREGON TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Ed Wegner DATE: November 29, 1995 SUBJECT: Regional Water Supply Plan - Preliminary Report Input The City has participated with twenty-seven providers and Metro to complete what is known as the Regional Water Supply Plan, Preliminary Plan. This report identifies strategies for serving the Portland metropolitan area with domestic water through the year 2050. This report evaluated six major source options for future supply in this area. The six sources were: 1 A third dam on the Bull Run Watershed. 2. Additional diversion and treatment capacity on the Clackamas River. 3. Diversion and treatment capacity on the Willamette River. 4. Diversion and treatment capacity on the Columbia River. 5. Raising the height of Barney Dam on the Trask River. 6. Aquifer storage and recharge. In addition to these major sources of supply, water conservation was included as a key resource option throughout the study. This study contains several policy objectives that were used to evaluate the recommended alternatives. These policy objectives include: ® Efficient use of water Maximize the efficient use of water resources, taking into account the potential for conservation, availability of supplies, practicality, and relative cost- effectiveness of the options. Make the best use of available supplies before developing new ones. MINI' ® Water supply reliability Minimize the frequency of water shortages of any magnitude and duration. Ensure that the duration and magnitude of shortages can be managed (e.g., through the operation of raw water storage facilities or through access to alternative sources of water). ® Water Quality Meet or exceed all current federal and state water quality standards for finished water. Utilize sources with the highest raw water quality. Maximize the ability to protect water quality in the future, including using watershed-protection based approaches. Maximize the ability to deal with aesthetic factors, such as taste, color, hardness, and color. ® Impacts of Catastrophic Events Minimize the magnitude, frequency, and duration of service interruptions due to natural or human-caused catastrophes, such as earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods, spills, fires, sabotage, etc. ® Economic Costs Minimize the economic impact of capital and operating costs of new water resources on customers. Assure the ability to relate rate impacts associated with new water resources to benefits gained within the region on an equitable basis over time. • Environmental Impacts Minimize the impact of water resource development on the natural and human environments. ® Growth Be consistent with Metro's regional growth strategy and local land-use plans. III IN III I 1 01 ® Flexibility to Deal with Future Uncertainty Maximize the ability to anticipate and respond to unforeseen future events or changes in forecasted trends. ® Ease of Implementation Maximize the ability to address local, state and federal legislative and regulatory requirements in a timely manner. ® Operational Flexibility Maximize operational flexibility to best meet the needs of the region, including the ability to move water around the region and to rely on backup sources as necessary. Comparisons and tradeoffs among alternatives are facilitated through a set of measurable evaluation criteria. Each policy objective is associated with one or more evaluation criteria. Each alternative resource strategy if evaluated against these criteria. To project future water needs, three scenarios were developed. These represented high, medium, and low customer growth in the future, as well as using variables relating to the amount of water used per customer. The recommended strategy 1.5 in the preliminary report balances all of the policy values and tries to maintain a position that provides the greatest flexibility and keeps options open for the future. This strategy would involve: • Outdoor conservation to be implemented immediately; ® Transmission lines to move water from the Clackamas area throughout the region; ® Aquifer storage and recharge; ® Improvements made to expand the capacity of the water treated from the Clackamas River, and; ® Water treated from the Willamette River. Listed below are the Intergovernmental Water Board and staff comments and concerns on key policy values for your review. NOREEN AML Rating of Policy Values - lWB Consensus Flanking ® Quality - at the tap s Costs ® Efficient use System reliability Environmental/Diversity of sources Comments//Areas of concern ® Use of gray water for irrigation purposes ® Concern for lack of public interest ® Community involvement (i.e., young people, focus groups, community groups) ® Importance of water quality ® Water is not a finite source and cannot sacrifice the environment to produce more water for consumption ® More emphasis on education and what conservation can do ® Development a rate structure that encourages conservation ® Development of building and plumbing codes revisions (gray water for irrigation) ® Development of cost to include incentives for industrial users (cost of new capacity should be true costs w System reliability and the effects (i.e., earthquake, parasites introduced into system) ® Diversity of Sources - look at all sources and investigating why some sources have been ruined and how to reverse that situation ® More emphasis be placed upon conservation management against projected demand Necessity of a formal consortium to work with capital projects of regional value ® Possible solutions and who to accomplished those goals Attached you will find the four questions supplied by the Steering Committee of the RWSP for Tigard's input into the final plan. kathy\RWSP.cou RE00ML kIATER 011nnLv 01 AW-1 PRELIMINARY PLAN QUESTIONNAIRE 1.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council discuss the option of using a survey to update the direction the City is going in the future or use a community input process along with a survey to develop this information. INFORMATION SUMMARY This Fall, Councilor Rohlf raised the question, what the vision, or future of Tigard was. While Metro is moving forward with its 2040 Plan, Tigard citizens have not been given an opportunity to determine what they want the Tigard community to be over the next 20 years. r ch week, decisions are made by the Mayor and Council, Tigard boards and committees, and City staff that affect the future of our ommunity. The purpose of the discussion on 12/19, is to determine what type of process the Council would like to use in obtaining direction from the community. Liz Newton and Loreen Mills have contacted several cities nationwide that have used various methods to understand what the "vision" of the community is for their future. Attached is a 2-page draft process which is a combination of methods used by the other cities that were successful in developing a long-range vision for their communities. Also, attached, is a list of areas to watch so that the process to develop our future vision won't "unravel. An article is attached that was printed in 1991 by the Colorado Municipalities organization. This is the best article staff has found to describe the need for strategic thinking and planning in today's world. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 1. Conduct periodic surveys of citizens, as we have in the past with "Tigard Talks," and share this information with City decision makers. 2. Conduct a broad-based community input process, along with a survey to develop Tigard's plan for the future. 3. Council to give further input FISCAL NOTES 1. $6,500 is budgeted this year for the next "Tigard Talks" survey. 2. $20,000 is a rough minimum of costs and does not count heavy staff time involvement.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt the attached resolution which reflects the direction given by the majority of Council at the October 10, 1995, meeting. INFORMATION SUMMARY The attached resolution is the final formal approval needed from the Council to amend Council compensation. Ordinance No. 95-22, which becomes effective n January 1, 1996, amends TMC 2.44 so that the amount of Council compensation is reviewed annually and set by resolution of the City Council as part of the budget cycle. The attached resolution will compensate the Council as recommended by the Task Force with the modifications approved by the majority of City Council and concludes the discussion and review which was initiated during the budget review for FY 95/96. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 1. Amend the resolution if modifications are requested by Council. FISCAL NOTES The Finance Director advises that a supplemental budget modification is unnecessary. The additional $2,400 in FY 95/96 can be accommodated because of underexpenditures in the Council's operating budget for this year (i.e., the Council's travel and training budget). f:\1ogin\cathy\cccomp.ss2 Ask, ju.~m t-~d ),2 1 1 Ct S T k"-c~Y~'s STERLING MRRSH, 14090 SOUTHWEST 80th COURT, PORTLAND, OR 97224 8142 Thursday, 7 December 1995 ~T Liz Newton City of Tigard 13125 S.W.

INFORMATION SUMMARY On September 26, 1995, the public hearing to review an appeal filed by neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Barrett concerning the proposed Hillshire Woods II ubdivision was continued. During the hearing, the appellant presented additional evidence which the City Council requested be reviewed. The City has continued with the review process for prioritizing properties to be purchased for preservation through the Metro Greenspaces Bond Measure. Because the subject property is considered to be one of the higher priority properties under review, both the property owner and the appellant have requested that the appeal on the Public Hearing be continued to the December 19th meeting. Since the first continuance, the applicant has not provided detailed findings concerning the materials submitted by the appellant Mrs. Barrett. The January 23rd meeting is the next available scheduled business meeting. The applicant has waived the 120-day rule to allow this continuance. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 1.

I understand that the Council meets next on December 19, 1995. Due to the busy holiday season, I would request that this matter be heard after the first of the year. As we have discussed, we are hopeful that the subject site will be acquired by the City and preserved as a greenspace. Such an end result would be a win/win/win situation as the property owner would get fair compensation for its land and build good will with the community, the City would acquire a wonderful parcel to supplement its natural resource areas, and my clients could avoid further conflicts with the City over this issue. Equally as important to all parties would be the elimination of further time and resources being used in a largely unproductive fashion. I look forward to working with the City and the property owner to accomplish these mutually advantageous objectives. ve trul yours, Gr o Lut j e i_ cc: Gordon & Melissa Barrett 14 Agenda Item N®.

N M~~ STAFF RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council approve the vacation as requested. NN-_ INFORMATION SUMMARY C W initiated this vacation at a public meeting held on November 14, 1995 (Res. 95-58). Brlatl Savage, the petitioner, requests City Council approval to vacate a 10 foot wide public utility easement located on lot #9 (Exhibit A), in Benchview Estates subdivision. Five foot public utility easements were provided along all the side lot lines with the recording of Benchview Estates (SUB 89-0005) subdivision plat. This is a normal platting practice in case an easement is needed in the future. A lot line adjustment was approved (MIS 95-0016) to adjust the property lines between lots #9 and #10 (E=xhibit D). While this adjustment relocated the property lines, a recorded easement cannot be adjusted or removed. This easement is no longer necessary. Lot #10 is already served by utilities. Lot #9 will be provided by services elsewhere on the property. The applicant has requested this vacation as it is the only means of removing the easement. The existing easement is now located such that it interferes with the petitioners preferred location for a single family residence. Attachments: Exhibit A - (site plan) Exhibit B - (legal description) Exhibit C - (vicinity map) Exhibit D - (pre-lot line adjustment site plan) OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 1.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION Adopt the attached resolution and ordinance to forward the annexation request to the Boundary Commission and to assign a zone designation to the properties in conformance with the city comprehensive plan. INFORMATION SUMMARY The proposed annexation consists of territory comprised of two parcels of land totaling 0.56 acres. Because the territory is located within Tigard's active planning area and has already been assigned a comprehensive plan designation of Low Density Residential, the City Council only need assign a Tigard zone designation to the properties. Attached is a resolution initiating annexation and an ordinance to change the zone designation from Washington County R-5 to Tigard R-4.5. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Deny the request.

Attached is a list of local share project priorities developed by Planning Commission for Council review. Background "Local Share" is the portion of the regional greenspaces bond to be passed through to local park providers for neighborhood and community scale greenspace projects. These funds may be spent only on greenspaces and trails related projects. Funding for active recreational projects such as sports fields, play structures, and community centers are not eligible. Tigard submitted a list of proposed local share projects to Metro in October, 1994. The list was generic, proposing half the funds be used to acquire forest land for a passive park and half for the acquisition of land or easements and the construction of greenway trails. The list did not specify particular forest areas or particular greenway segments. After the passage of the bond measure, staff put together a list of potentially suitable projects. During the three month period from September to November, each CIT reviewed and commented on the projects and nominated other projects of interest to them. Together, the cost of the various projects identified by the staff and CITs is approximately $1.5 million, or double the amount available. CIT Priorities The projects of most interest to the CITs are listed below in the priority order assigned by each citizen group. South CIT: Ce7r,1T. AM, F-2 Fo rest Area North of Cook Park T-7 Tigard St/Fowler School Trail F-5 Forest Area at Bond and 82nd T-6 Woodard Pk/Fowler Sch Trail F-1 Trailway East of Hall Boulevard T-4 Woodard Pk/Main St Trail West CIT: East CIT: Forests F-4 Forest Area along Fern St F-1 Trailway East of Hall Blvd F-3 Forest Area btwn Bull Mt Rd and 129th T-2 Ash Street Trail T-3 Forest Area btwn 3 Mtn/Morning Star Trails T-5 135th/Summer Lake Trail Although third on their list, the West CIT, in the past, twice has requested city acquisition of the T-3 (3 Mtn/Morning Star) property as open space. In addition to the CIT rankings, petitions have been submitted in support of the F-4 (Fern St.) and F-5 (Bond and 82nd) , and F-2 (Cook Park) forest acquisitions (see attached). Several individual letters in support of these and other projects also have been received (attached). Three CITs have adopted positions in regard to Council's October 1994 proposal to split the local share funds equally between forest and trail projects. South and West CITs voted to recommend that all or most of the money be allocated for land acquisitions. East CIT, on the other hand, voted in favor of programming sixty per cent of the money for trai Is. Central CIT did not adopt a formal recommendation relative to the division of funds between the two project types, but, like the East CIT, included only trails on their priority list. Regional Trail Funds In addition to local share funds, the Greenspaces bond measure included $16.5 million to help establish five regional trails, of which Fanno Creek is one. The details of how the money will be spent have not been worked out as yet. However, the general policies contained in Metro's bond measure Implementation Work Plan allow for local jurisdictions to work with Metro to jointly fund regional trail projects that are within their geographic boundaries. With this policy in mind, Planning Commission identified one project, the Hall St. Trail, as a potential opportunity for joint action with Metro, with local share dollars being used to leverage regional corridor funds. intergovernmental Agreement The intergovernmental agreement that provides for pass-through of the bond funds includes a three year window for spending the money. The agreement allows for project changes and the reallocation of funds to a different project in the event a higher priority project becomes cost prohibitive or otherwise infeasible. For projects involving land acquisitions, an emphasis is placed on working with willing sellers. A local match is not required to receive the bond measure funds. Likewise, no overrun money is available beyond the $758,000 Tigard is eligible to receive. Planning Commission Recommendations On November 20, 1995, Planning Commission considered the staff's list of recommended projects and the individual recommendations from each CIT. In addition, a number of citizens attended the meeting and provided testimony to the Commission on a variety of projects. Based on the staff, CIT, and citizen recommendations, Planning Commission prepared a prioritized list of Greenspaces projects for Council consideration (see next page). In forming its recommendations, Planning Commission gave first consideration to the acquisition of buildable land. The recommended priorities include those properties where there is a high probability of loss or conversion. This took into consideration physical constraints to development, Sensitive Land designation, and development pressure. Lower priority was given to lands where there is a low probability of loss or conversion. Because of its limited development potential, this included the proposed acquisition of floodplain for trail extensions. Planning Commission gave lowest priority to trail construction, exclusive of right-of-way acquisition. The commission recommended that funds from other sources, such as the park SDC or a future city park bond measure, be used for this purpose as such funds become available. The commission also discussed the implementation of projects, recommending that consideration be given to establishing a procedure for dealing with the potential bumping of lower priority projects due to cost overruns on higher priority projects. Specifically, Planning Commission recommended that staff be directed to return to Council for guidance on how to proceed in the event the cost of a project significantly exceeds the funding available. An opportunity for public participation should be included as part of this process. AML Tigard Planning Commission PRIORITIZED LOCOi- SHARE GREENSPACES PROJECTS Projects Recommended for Funding 1.

[T-3] Area between 3 Mt. Est./Morning Star (4 Ac.) 31,000 I Jill PROPOSED GREENSPACES PROJECTS [ ] indicates a change in project designation F-4. Forest Area along Fern Street This is the West CITs top forest area priority. The site includes 2.6 acres of buildable property with an estimated cost of $86,000. The site connects to a 13-acre wooded ravine, which is in the process of being dedicated to the city. The site was not evaluated in the city forest inventory, but is believed to be high quality. A petition in support of acquiring this site is attached. F-2. Forest Area North of Cook Park Acquisition of this property is the South CITs first priority. This project would acquire a vacant parcel of approxivriaiely 8 acres located north of the Cook Park soccer fields. The parcel includes a portion of a continuous mixed forest found along the bank of the Tualatin River. This larger forest was classified as high value in a city inventory of forested natural areas. The forested portion of the identified parcel covers somewhat more than one-third of the property. Most of the forest is protected by City Sensitive Land regulations. Estimated cost is approximately $47,000. F-3. Forest Area between Bull Mountain Road and 129th This acquisition is the West CITs second ranking forest project. The site includes a single forested parcel of 12 acres, 9 of which are buildable. Most of the forest is rated as high quality in the city forest inventory. The same high quality area is identified in the Bull Mountain Community Plan as lying within an Area of Special Concern. The site is bordered on the east by a wooded ravine, also rated as high quality, and on the west by Woodford Estates. A two-acre estate separates the site from Bull Mountain Road. Major areas on the south side are in the process of being dedicated to the city as open space. The proposed extension of 129th Avenue will provide easy access to the site. The estimated cost is $444,000. F-5. Forest Area at Bond and 82nd Ranked by the South CIT as its second priority, this area includes four acres of multi-family zoned forest. The forest was identified as medium quality in the city forest inventory. Except for a small wetland area, most of the land is developable. The site does not complete an existing city natural area or provide a link to other open spaces. The Wetlands Conservancy, which has been coordinating an effort to purchase the site, reportedly has raised $32,000 in donations and pledges toward the purchase price and has secured an additional $10,000 in grant funding. Counting these match amounts, the cost to the city would be $108,000. . Mill MEN= 111311 INS=- IF-11 Trail East of Hall Boulevard This project is the East CITs first priority and the South CITs third. The project would acquire land along Fanno Creek east of Hall Boulevard. The trail corridor would connect with an existing trail segment that extends from the Fanno Creek Apartments approximately 1,200 feet to Fanno Creek Drive. In addition to a segment of Fanno Creek, the area contains scenic views, woodlands, and wetlands. The wooded area is classified as high quality according to the Tigard forest area inventory and includes riparian deciduous and upland conifer trees. The extensive wetland area is identified in the city wetland inventory as among the highest quality found in the city. Estimated cost of acquiring the entire 17 acres of floodplain is $400,000. The city would work with Metro to fund the land acquisition, using local share dollars to leverage regional trail corridor dollars. T-4. Woodard Park/Main Street Trail This project is the Central CITs third priority. The project would provide a trail along Fanno Creek between Woodard Park and Main Street. Portions of the trail already exist. The trail would pass through an area identified as high quality in the city forest inventory. Estimated cost of land acquisition and trail construction is $227,000 and $75,000, respectively. T-7. Tigard Street/Fowler School Trail Ranked by the Central CIT as its first priority, this project would complete the Tigard Street Ask to Fowler School segment of the Fanno Creek trail. It would provide improved access to the school and its many outdoor recreation facilities. The completion of this segment and of the Windmill Apartments/North Dakota trail link, designated as a current year CIP project, would create a continuous trail from Fowler School to Scholls Ferry. Cost of trail construction is estimated at $110,000. T-6. Woodard Park/Fowler School Trail Identified by the Central CIT as its second priority, this project would provide a paved trail between Woodard Park and Fowler School. The trail route would go north through the Carol Court cul-de-sac and then south along the unimproved Katherine Street right-of-way to Tiedeman Avenue. Estimated cost of trail construction is $53,000. T-2. Ash Street Trail This is the East CITs second priority. The project would construct an offshoot of the existing Fanno Creek Trail to serve the eastside Hill Street/Ash Avenue area. The trail would run through the existing Ash Street right-of-way. At present, no trail or road connection 'exists between this nearby neighborhood and the Fanno Creek Park/city center area. Estimated cost is $52,000. Oman" T-5. 135th/Summerlake Trail This project is the West CITs first ranking trail and third ranking overall project. This project would provide a paved trail between 135th Avenue and Summerlake Park. The proposed route includes the undeveloped land located on the northern side of the city-owned open space. The alignment would follow the edge of the wetland area outside the 25-foot buffer and could include a slatted boardwalk over a portion of the wetlands. Completion of the trail would provide improved pedestrian and bicycle access to the park and would complete a key segment of the proposed Summer Creek trail. The estimated cost of land or easement acquisition is $22,000. Trail construction is estimated at $90,000. FF-3.1 Forest Area between 3 Mt. Est./Morning Star This project is the West CITs third ranking acquisition priority. The project would acquire 4 acres of forest area located between the city open space at Benchview Terrace and the open space parcel held in common by the Three Mountains Estates homeowners. Acquisition of the area would create a contiguous open space area of roughly 14 acres. Because it is located within a steeply sloped ravine, the forest area is subject to city Sensitive Land regulations. The estimated cost of the land is $31,000.

ITT TESTIMONY RECEIVED - PLANNING COMMISSION f: r: f e, i 67- f` I` S;: September 28. 1995 Dear Members of the Planning Commission, Enclosed please find a petition indicating some of the public interest for the purchase of some greenspace property. This property is located at 13870 SW Fern Street (Tax Lot 1700). It would make an excellent Greenspace area for the following reasons: 1) It is the only easy access to many acres of greenspace behind it. Sic.-ra Pacific Developers have donated many acres of a ravine that they could "not build in. This ravine in inaccessible to most people on the north side of Bull Mountain. The SW access to this greenspace requires a steep scramble down the side of the ravine. The property on Fern Street would give many people a level walking area to get to the greenspace in the ravine. Otherwise. this greenspace is cut off from most of the public. 2) Walking trails already exist through this property and beyond into the ravine. These trails have been in use for many years by the surrounding neighborhoods, as the Fern Street property has been vacant. 3) This property is a beautiful, natural area with raccoons, deer, and many species of birds including hawks and owls. It is a heavily wooded forest with many old growth fir trees and very tall alders. The fir trees range from 2 ft. to a massive 4 ft. caliper. 4) A creek runs through the property in addition to some natural springs. Water runs through this area 11 months of the year. 5) The area to be purchased is only about 1 1 /2 acres. The city will be maintaining a water retainment pond at the north end of the property, so the area will already be partly under city maintenance. 6) The owner (Ed Freeman, President of Sierra Pacific Development) has indicated a willingness to sell it as greenspace. If the city does not purchase this property. he has plans to remove most of the trees, grade the property, and build 5 houses. Because there is little space between the side of the ravine and the creek. the houses will be built with a minimum of buffer space for the creek. All of the large fir trees will need to be removed. 7) This property is located in an area of Tigard where Greenspace is very much lacking. There are no parks. walking trails, or open areas accessible to the public. Hundreds of houses are now being built nearby. most with lot sizes ranging from 6000 sq. ft. to 8000 sq. ft. These neighborhoods have nowhere for families to walk or play. The city of Tigard has an excellent opportunity to save this property for enjoyment of the public. Many forested area of Bull Mountain have already been cleared for development. Please buy this property so that a portion of Bull Mountain in its natural state can be shared with our children.

As you know, Tigard was given approximately $750,000 to purchase Green Spaces within the city. They had numerous sites in mind, including the area adjacent to Cook Park, north of the soccer fields. This is a parcel of land that is privately owned. The owner of this land has been trying to sell it to developers who would probably extend Riverwood Rd. to 92nd Ave, as well as put more housing, perhaps even apartments in that area. I received wort: yesterday that the council has chosen a 12 acre package in Bull Mountain as half of their Green Spaces fund, and they have put the other half into various trails throughout the city, none by Cook Park. I would like to raise some questions about this decision: i 1. Would it be possible for the city to purchase a l-= of the 12 acres and reserve $50,000 for the purchase of the Cook Park area. 2. Could residents who are against the extension of Riverwood Rd. and against the building of more housing/apartments in that area, possibly help the city with the purchase price; then donate it back to the city, as a tax write-off. 3. Could $50,000 be taken from the $300,000- that is allocated for trail development, and put into the purchase of the Cook park area for possible trails around the wetland/flood plain area. Agh The city is having their CIT meeting this Wednesday the 4th at 7pm at Tigard lEgh School. Its important that we go to this meeting and voice our objec''ions to their choice, before any final decisions are made. Remember, the planning commission has NOT made their decision yet. There will also be a Planning Commission meeting this Monday at 7.30pm, at City Nall. Your attendance to EITHP.R meeting would be beneficial.

I ant joined by strong community support from the South CIT, Tigard High School science teachers, the Audubon Society, the Wetlands Conservancy, and the Tualatin River Keepers. We hope you will agree that this parcel will yield the highest return from an investment of greenspace dollars. Our assessment is based on the following local project selection criteria for natural areas: A. Possesses unique or important natural resources--Parcel F-2 contains sensitive lands that are identified as protected under Chapter 18:84 of the Tigard Development Code. 1. Foress--Parcel F-2 contains an overlapping vegetation community between the floodplain and 150 foot tall Douglas fir trees that has been identified as sensitive in the City Forest Inventory. 2. Wetlands/Wildlife--Parcel F-2 is 43 percent floodplain and contains a high quality natural wetland. Protection for this wetland has been urged by Wetlands BiOloc"st dram Rrol mme of th6 wiTctiands Conservancy. 11-11C conciudid 'uiai ilv aiiCraiivil tv 51 1 this valuable wetland should occur without a full application and review. Mike Houck, an urban naturalist, in a letter to the city of Tigard identified portions of-the land as "significant wetlands with riparian wildlife habitat." The existing natural wetland offers an excellent buffer between residential areas and Cook Park's active recreational areas. The city of Tigard's Wetlands/Wildlife Inventory reported that, "The t 1111111 -slim large expanse of diverse wetland and uplands adjacent to the river provide excellent habitat for resident and migratory species." Due to the uniqueness of this natural area, Tigard High School science teachers take their biology classes to the diverse wetland. In a letter to the Friends of Cook Park in 1992, teachers stated that the location "is basically a wildlife oasis in the development throughout Tigard Students have many opportunities to study wildlife and wetland ecosystems at Tigard High School." 3. Water Quality--A lawsuit was filed in 1986 against the Environmental Protection Agency for the failure to enforce the Clean Water Act on the Tualatin River. It has since become the subject of intense clean-up efforts. The United Sewerage Agency currently cleans its waste water to some of the highest standards in the nation. However, surface water runoff remains a critical source of pollution in the Tualatin. In light of this, we should protect this parcel from residential development. It contains a Class 2 perennial stream which drains south/southeast into the wetlands described above. This stream, which flows throughout the year, has a watershed which contains the residential development of 92nd and Millen streets. It has a well-defined channel with a medium gradient, high water velocity, and flashy flows (quick to peak and recede). Cook Park Parcel acts as a natural sponge, soaking up surface water runoff from the upland residential area. Under these hydrologic conditions, water is cleaned in a natural purification process before it reaches the Tualatin River. Therefore, this parcel could be classified as a component of the city's green infrastructure. Millions of dollars are invested in infrastructure to prevent pollution with dozens of public and private sector partnerships formed to support this investment. I submit that we provide additional water quality protection for the Tualatin River with the purchase of this site. B. Completes a city-owned natural area--Two objectives of the Cook Park Plan combined with the Tigard Park Plan adopted by the city council in 1987 were to: (1) acquire land within the 100 year floodplain and (2) prepare a master plan to promote the 2 retention of important natural open spaces in Cook Park. The addition of this eight-acre parcel to Cook Park will accomplish both objectives. C. Provides a link to other natural areas--Parcel F-2 is an ideal buffer linking the active recreational areas of Cook Park to the upland residential development. D. Potential loss to development--Parcel F-2 has twice been the subject of developer's proposals. In 1986 and in 1992, proposals to develop the site fell through. E. Presents unusually favorable acquisition opportunity-- The current owner has recently spoken with adjoining property owners clearly indicating his readiness to sell to a developer. F. Community support--The Friends of Cook Park, which should be commended for its efforts, was formed in 1992 to maintain the viability of Cook Park as a natural resource. Both the Friends group and the Copper Neighborhood Association are very concerned about the loss of this unique land. As a group, we have demonstrated our strong support with many letters urging the purchase of this parcel. In addition, a South CIT vote revealed a majority of its members favoring the purchase of Parcel F-2 over other available sites. In addition to meeting the local selection criteria, the parcel complements tourism and family-based recreation in Cook Park, Tigard's most popular park destination. As a venue for special events such as the Hot Air Balloon Festival, it has a positive impact on tourism in Washington County. (Travel expenditures in Washington County for tourism generated $242,485,000 in 1993.) Projections by the Oregon State Department of Economic Development indicate that "cost-effective, safe, family-oriented destination will be increasingly popular." Consequently, we can assume that by expanding Cook Park, tourism will continue to grow. 3 Family-based recreational activities like those in Cook Park build strong communities. In 1990, Tigard had 12,084 households. About 68 percent of these were family households where members are related. For this active group of families, Cook Park is a highly valuable community resource. Five non-profit youth organizations make extensive use of the soccer and baseball fields. More than 50 groups made reservations in 1995 for 200 or more people. The population trend forecast for Tigard is almost 50,000 residents by 2005. We have insufficient park acreage to meet the future park needs. One means of accomplishing this objective is through Cook Park expansion by land acquisition as noted in the Tigard Park Plan. Expansion of Cook Park would preserve open space and enhance the natural area for park visitors. A community park where we share our hopes and dreams for the future is worth protecting.

Asia, 5 11-16-95 To: Tigard Planning Commission In this letter I hope to convince you that it is in the best interest for all concerned, (including countless animals and plants), for a portion of the Greenspace Bond Funds to be used to purchase Cook Park Parcel (F-2) from its current private owner; and save it from becoming the housing development that he reportedly has plans to make it. To begin with, there is the whole "designated wetland / class 2 stream" thing. Rather than waste space repeating the specifics of these provisions and how they apply to this special area, I'd like to take a step back and discuss why they apply. Let's face it, these natural areas do not just happen on their own any more. An ecosystem like Parcel F-2 may have taken thousands of years to become what it is: among other things, a fragile habitat for many resident species of plants and animals, a safe stopover point for many migratory birds, a natural water purification system... In a matter of a few hours with a bulldozer, it could be spoiled forever. There are fewer and fewer of these wild places around Tigard, particularly these special wet ones. If nobody fights for the lives of places like these, the relentless pressures of development will eventually cause them to be absorbed into the growing sprawl of the suburban neighborhood. Another angle I would like to touch on is that of the benefits to one non-resident species - us suburbanites. Those of us who live near, not in parcel F-2 have many reasons for it to be left in its wild state. Highschoolers study there; kids have forts and tree houses there; noise stops there when on it's way out of the soccer fields; the growing line of houses stops there; traffic stops there too. Many of us who live in this end of the neighborhood take our young kids to the Riverwood Lane cul-de-sac to play. It's the kind of place where you can cruise around on your tricycle without the confines of sidewalks, where you can learn to ride a bike or roller-skates, where you can have a block Bar-B-Que. Many of us live here because we like to have some wild and fresh space near by, and that is part of what parcel F-2 gives us. Most of our lots are small here, but there are still some foresty places we can go, to get away from the closely packed houses. And with Riverwood dead ending, our homes have less passing traffic, and what there is of it moves slower. This is because Durham Road access is routed indirectly up through Copper Creek, Millen, and 92nd. The last thing I would like to bring up is that this seems like the perfect time to make this purchase. You have the Greenspace dollars to spend, and what better place to buy than Parcel F-2? Consider all of the positive impacts on the dwellers in and around this area; the few that I mentioned are just a fraction of the possible benefits. You would be killing many birds with this one stone, (or saving them). And one more added bonus to all of you on the planning AOQI~ comission, is that when you buy the lots and putt an end to this whole discussion, we will all finally stop hassiing you guys about it. So these are my reasons for wanting to save Parcel (F-2) from being turned into more houses: preserving this diverse wetland ecosystem, to the benefit of myriad plants, animals, and people who live around or visit this area. And I believe that now would be a good time to do it, since the Greenspace dollars are currently available for funding this purchase. Most of the people that live close by here have their own reasons why they would not want to lose Parcel F-2. I hope you hear about them: they are many and varied. Thank you for your time and consideration.

OR 97223 Re: Greenspace adjacent to Cook Park and Riverwood To the Plaiminng Commission: Since I am unable to be at your meeting on November 20th. I am %vTiting to let you know how important the preservation of this land is to us. The area adjacent to Cook Park (Riverwood extension) is an important buffer between the Park and river. and the neighborhood that now extends down to that area. Nly request is that the Planning Commission support the purchase of this land with Greenspace dollars so that it is preserved. The citizens of Tigard are very fortunate to have the Park along the river. For the last seven years. we have watched as the truly diverse uses of the Park are enjoyed by thousands of people. But the Park serves another important function to protect the wetlands and varied wildlife that uses this area. Now we understand much better that the buffer area around the Park is just as important as the Park itself in sustaining the plant and animal life that lives there. This is all part of what makes Tigard a desirable place to live. Besides all our other roles in our connmunity. I believe the officials such as you and all of its who live here have a duty to balance and protect this ecology. In September. nn-,- daughter and I were returning from one of our many outings to the Park. As we walked our bikes tip the Iull on 92nd leading out of the Park. I sighted a beautiful blue heron no more than 30 feet away standing in one of the nnarshy ponds. It %vas an experience that cannot be equalled in most suburban communities. Please allocate the funds to preserve this area. Sinncerely. Caroi D. Folev 9550 Miller Drive Tigard.

We wanted to live. in this neighborhood because we had enjoyed the greenbelt and wetlands in the area. In the two years of our absence and the five years since our return, the area has undergone tremendous change. Where once there were woods now there are houses, and traffic has increased considerably. Riverwood Lane has extended to the west. But still the greenbelt is there, along with one of the most important pieces of land F2, the one under discussion for preservation with the funds allocated for purchase of green spaces and trails. We understand the need for development, but this piece of land is perhaps one of the most important to preserve. Many times we have enjoyed walking up 92nd, enjoying the blackbirds to the east, and the little pond with its wildlife, including muskrats, to the west. If F2 is not preserved, the pond will be gone, along with the wetlands bordering the soccer field where our son used to play, and the muskrats and birds that still live there. We urge you i to riamnnctrnta that in Tionrri; development can happen while still preserving vital wetlands. Please don't let this beautiful piece of land disappear. Thank you.

This area is an important natural resource and significant wetland. I am concerned that the development of this parcel would have a negative impact on the water quality in the Tualatin system and would significantly decrease the habitat for local waterfowl. Preservation of this land would provide a vital link to the Tualatin River Green-way and improve the quality of life in South Tigard. We are further concerned about the City Council's recommendation to budget approximately half of the funds for land purchase and the other half for trails and improvements. I believe along with many others that most if not all funds should be used for land purchases due to shrinking land inventory in our area. Land prices will continue to rise dramatically in the near future but the cost of trails should follow a more conservative rate of increase. Lastly, we are very concerned with what will become of area F2 should the city not decide to purchase it for green space. The impact of extending Riverwood Lane to 92"d would have a very negative impact on all residents that live south of Durham Rd. between 99W and 92"d. As park usage increases it places a burden on the local residents with crowded and closed streets during many of the events not to mention the traffic that would find an easy shortcut through our neighborhoods in order to bypass the light at Durham and 92"d Thank you for hearing our concerns.

One of the main reasons I purchased my house is because of the surrounding park areas. In addition to providing a pleasant living and recreational environment, these wetlands are an important natural resource, especially in this area of breathtakingly rapid development: blink twice and there's another new house! Before we lose another fink to the Tualatin River greenway through additional housing development with its potentially negative impact on water quality and waterfowl and other animal habitat, I urge the use of some of the metro green spaces funds for purchase of this land for preservation purposes.

Jones 16550 SW 93rd Avenue Tigard, OR 97224 November 20, 1995 City of?igard Planning Commission 1 Ife: Green Snares Planning Dear Planning Conunissioner: I arcs very concerned about the preliminary recommendations made to the Planning Commission regarding how best to utilize the $750,000 available to the City for the acquisition and enhancement of green spaces. In my opinion, the Planning Commission should strive to get the "most ban.-, for the buck" with these funds put more succinctly, use the funds to acquire the greatest amount of green space, in the greatest number of locations, benefiting the greatest number of residents. Since the availability of land is finite and perishable, I believe that ail of the funds available should be utilized to acquire land. Paths and trails can always be added at a later date conversely, once a green space is developed, it is gone forever. I strongly support and endorse the acquisition of the parcel of land adjacent to Cook Pnrk as one of the parcels that should be acquired. Cook Park is an extremely valuable resource to all residents of Tigard as evidenced by the many events and diverse recreation activities that are available at the park year round. One of the most important features that makes Cook Park so enjoyable and such a valuable resource is its apparent remoteness. Cook Nark is unique in that it does not have houses or apartment buildings within visible pro-amity, nor does it have roadways or non-park related traffic nearby. Failure to acquire the parcel of land adjacent to Cook Park could jeopardize one of the Park's strongest attributes its entirely natural setting and ,istas. The parcel adjacent to Cook Park is also a valuable ,,wetlands area providing animal and bird habitat as well as much needed settling of storm nun-off, protecting the Tualatin River. For the good of Tigard and the protection of one of the city's most valuable resources, I urge the Planning Commission to purchase the land adjacent to Cook Park. Sincerely, 639-3159 RECD NOV 16 1995 FRIENDS GE TIGAItD GREENSPACE November 20, 1995 City of Tigard Planning Commission 13125 SW Hall Blvd. Tigard, OR 97223 Dear Planning Commission: The Friends of Tigard Greenspace is a citizen's action group formed to preserve the Gage Property (F-5) as a greenspace. We strongly urge the City of Tigard Planning Commission recommend the Gage Property receive a share of the City's funds from the Metro greenspace bond. The Gage Property, totaling 3.97 acres, is an island of forest in an expanding sea of houses. It is an undisturbed remnant of Tualatin Valley floor vegetation including Douglas fir, ash, cottonwood, big leaf maple, and a great variety of undergrowth. The location and diversity of plant life make this a very important piece of our diminishing landscape in the Tigard area. The Gage family has always considered this site a wildlife refuge and a place where trees can grow, protected, to their mature height and girth... a natural sampler of valley floor vegetation. They hold fast to their dream of the sale of this property as a wildlife/natural area. The Friends of Tigard Greenspace recommend the following principles be used in the selection of properties to receive a portion of the City's share of Metro Greenspace Funds: 1) Allocate All Funding for the Purchase of Forest Lands - The forest lands in Tigard are at risk of being developed now. We recommend all funds first be allocated entirely to the purchase of forest lands. Funding for trails can wait. 8110 SW Bond Street Tigard, Olt 91224 2) Leverare Metro Funds Using Other Sources of Funding - More properties can be purchased if other sources of funding are used to leverage the Metro Funds. Neighborhoods near greenspaces can be an additional source of funding. As an example, neighbors near the Gage Property have already pledged nearly $35,000 of the 5150,000 purchase price to support the purchase of the Gage Property! Since local residents are the major benefactor when greenspace is purchased by the City, we recommend that one-third of the purchase price for all properties be provided by surrounding neighborhoods. If all neighborhoods located near forest lands provided this level of funding for the purchase of greenspace, more forest lands will end up protected in Tigard. Everyone can win!! 3) All CPf Areas Should Share in the Benefits - Based on proposed spending allocations, only one 12-acre parcel of heavily treed land between Bull Mountain Road and Southwest 129th Avenue has received staff recommendation for purchase as urban forest. We recommend that funds be allocated across several projects so all CIT planning areas benefit from the Metro Greenspace Funds. Friends of Tigard Greenspace and the Wetlands Conservancy have worked diligently over the last two years to preserve the Gage Property as a wildlife/natural area - to fulfill the Gage fancily dream. We ask for your support in this endeavor by recommending a portion of the Metro Greenspace fundinp- be used to support its purchase. If you have any questions, or if we can help in any way, please contact either hick Weijo at 684-3408 or Ken Steele at 598-1263.

Hall Blvd. Tigard, Oregon 97223 Dear Planning Commission Members, The Wetlands Conservancy, an Oregon non-profit land trust, urges the City of Tigard to purchase the four acre Gage property in South East Tigard as part of its open space protection program. This property is a reminant of the diverse forest eco-system that once covered large portions of the Tualatin valley low-lands. The site contains a great diversity of trees, shrubs and ground-cover, providing valuable habitat for wildlife, while also offering educational opportunity for present and future generations of Tigard residents of all ages. The Wetlands Conservancy has raised, in donations and pledges, approximately $32,000 toward the $150,000 purchase price and has secured a commitment of an additional $10,000 Aft from a local foundation as the final amount to be raised once the first $140,000 has been raised. We would have to verify if this grant would still apply towad a city purchase of the Gage property, but we think that it might. If the grant can be included, then the city purchase price would be about $108,000 or less depending upon additional donations and closing costs. I have personally spoken with mazy of our major donors and all have agreed to have their donations continue to go for the Gage property purchase even if the City of Tigard rather than The Wetlands Conservancy becomes the eventual owner. We urge you to favorably consider the acquisition of the Gage property. incerel yours, Jack Broome Properties Director Post Office Box 1195 Tualatin.

Hall Blvd. Tigard, OR 97223 Dear City Council: Tualatin Riverkeepers would like to encourage the City of Tigard to purchase and protect the parcel of land (Unit 9 in Fishman Environmental Services report) adjacent to Cook Park with Metro 26-26 monies or other money from other sources. We were surprised that it was not already part of Cook Park as it seems a natural transition zone between the park and wetlands and the dense development above. In addition to being a buffer it is also habitat connected to the Tualatin's riparian zone. This expands the riparian zone and diversifies habitat. Development of this site would shock many park users who, like ourselves, assumed it was already part of the park. It would be an opportunity to protect habitat that could be lost forever. Please protect this parcel by adding it to the park property especially since it is already viewed as protected park land by many.

We strongly urge the City of Tigard purchase the Gage Property using a share of the City's funds from the Metro greenspace bond. The Gage Property, totaling 3.97 acres, is an island of forest in an expanding sea of houses. It is an undisturbed remnant of Tualatin Valley floor vegetation including Douglas fir, ash, cottonwood, big leaf maple, and a great variety of undergrowth. The location and diversity of plant life make this a very important piece of our diminishing landscape in the Tigard area. The Gage family has always considered this site both a wildlife refuge and a place where trees can grow, protected, to their mature height and girth... a natural sampler of valley floor vegetation. They hold fast to their dream of the sale of this property as a wildlife/natural area. Questions have been raised about the degree of neighborhood support for the acquisition of the Gage Property. This arose because of prior unsuccessful efforts to purchase the property by forming a local improvement district (LLD). Our organization conducted market research to assess neighborhood interest Nn purchasing the property as a greenspace. Seventy-rive percent (75%) of the approximate 100 households located within one block of the Gage Property agree with the neighborhood purchase of this property as a greenspace. Neighborhood support drops to 50% for those neighborhood households residing more than one block away. Past LID efforts included many households either located further away (i.e:, between 78th and 79th Ave.) or having poor access to the Gage Property (i.e., the Ashford neighborhood). AWL 8110 SW Bond Street Tigard, OR 97224 With the support of the Wetlands Conservancy, a neighborhood fund drive was held to collect pledges to purchase the Gage Property. Neighbors and supportive businesses have promised between $30,000 and $35,600 of the $150,000 purchase price for the Gage Property! If neighborhoods located near other forest lands and trailways provided some financial support for the purchase of greenspace, more property will end up protected in Tigard. Everyone can win! Friends of Tigard Greenspace and the Wetlands Conservancy have worked diligently over the last two years to preserve the Gage Property as a wildlife/natural area - to fulfill the Gage family dream. We ask for Your support in this endeavor by using a portion of the Metro Greensnace funding to purchase the Gage Property. If you have any questions, or if we can help in any way, please contact either hick Weijo at 684-3408 or Ken Steele at 598-1263. Sincerely; YRichard O.

There are several reasons (particularly given the funding that is available through Metro Greenspaces) why this is particularly timely. The property is well located and highly developable. But for the fact that Dorothy and Marjorie Gage have long been commited to preserving this wooded parcel as an open space for future generations, the property would, without a doubt, already be developed. If you do not purchase the property, and if Dorothy and Marjorie are willing to allow development on the site, I intend to be at the head of the line with a renewed purchase offer in hand. The property is well located and easily accessible. The neighbors in the area are willing to make a significant contribution to the purchase price, and lastly - Dorothy and Marjorie are willing to sell the property for the purposes of a "green space" for considerably less than the property's market value. The time is right. The funding is available. I encourage you to seize an opportunity that won't come around again. Sincerely, Mark Rockwell President 16325 Sid Boones Ferry Rd Suite 203 Lake Oswego, OR 97035 503-635.2996 Fax: 503.635.3122 TheWetlandsConservancy ~(0 December 11, 1995 Mayor Jim Nicoli City Council City of Tigard 13125 S. W. Hall Blvd. Tigard, Oregon 97223 Dear Mr. Nicoli and Council Members, The Wetlands Conservancy, an Oregon non-profit land trust, urges the City of Tigard to purchase the four acre Gage property in South East Tigard as part of its open space protection program. This property is a reminant of the diverse forest eco-system that once covered large portions of the Tualatin valley low-lands. The site contains a great diversity of trees, shrubs and ground-cover, providing valuable habitat for wildlife, while also offering educational opportunity for present and future generations of Tigard residents of all ages. The Wetlands Conservancy has raised, in donations and pledges, approximately $32,000 toward the $150,000 purchase price and has a challenge grant for the final $10,000 once the fast $140,000 has been raised. There is a chance that this grant could still be honored if the City of Tigard agrees to purchase the Gage property. However, the Collins Foundation Vice. President has informed us that we would have to make a new application reflecting the changed condition and that the.Foundation might not extend their $10,000 grant since it is not their custom to offer challenge grants to government purchased properties. In any case, we will not know about the $10,000 grant until February 1996 and there is a chance that our application could be denied. In that case the cost to the city would be $118,000 or perhaps less depending upon how much additional money we are able to raise from private sources. I have personally spoken with many of our major donors and all have agreed to have their donations continue to go for the Gage property purchase even if the City of Tigard rather than The Wetlands Conservancy becomes the eventual owner. We urge you to favorably consider the acquisition of the Gage property.

Connectivity w/other Community Support habitat Venue for Special Events Family Recreation DATE: November 30, 1995 TO: Tigard City Council FROM: Chris Counts As a member of the Friends of Cook Park and the Copper Creek Neighborhood Association, I would like to encourage the Planning Commission to purchase Cook Park Parcel F-2 with local share funds from the Metro Greenspaces bond measure. I am joined by strong community support from the South CIT, Tigard High School science teachers, the Audubon Society, the Wetlands Conservancy, and the Tualatin River Keepers. We hope you will agree that this parcel will yield the highest return from an investment of greenspace dollars. Our assessment is based on the following local project selection criteria for natural areas: A. Possesses unique or important natural resources--Parcel F-2 contains sensitive lands that are identified as protected under Chapter 18:84 of the Tigard Development Code. 1. Forest--Parcel F-2 contains an overlapping vegetation community between the floodplain and 150 foot tall Douglas fir trees that has been identified as sensitive in the City Forest Inventory. 2. Wetlands/Wildlife--Parcel F-2 is 43 percent floodplain and contains a high quality natural wetland. Protection for this wetland has been urged by Wetlands Biologist Jack Broome of the Wetlands Conservancy. He concluded that no alteration to, this valuable wetland should occur without a full application and review. Mike Houck, an urban naturalist, in a letter to the city of Tigard identified portions of the land as "significant wetlands with riparian wildlife habitat." The existing natural wetland offers an excellent buffer between residential areas and Cook Park's active 1 MINES ranraatinna? arsac Tho rite of Tiriard'e wetiandelwilrilif? In~rentnrv rannrle that "The Alft large expanse of diverse wetland and uplands adjacent to the river provide excellent habitat... for resident and migratory species." Due to the uniqueness of this natural area, Tigard High School science teachers take their biology classes to the diverse wetland. In a letter to the Friends of Cook Park in 1992, teachers stated that the location "is basically a wildlife oasis in the development throughout Tigard Students have many opportunities to study wildlife and wetland ecosystems at Tigard High School." 3. Water Quality--A lawsuit was filed in 1986 against the Environmental Protection Agency for the failure to enforce the Clean Water Act on the Tualatin River. It has since become the subject of intense clean-up efforts. The United Sewerage Agency currently cleans its waste water to some of the highest standards in the nation. However, surface water runoff remains a critical source of pollution in the Tualatin. In light of this, we should protect this parcel from residential development. It contains a Class 2 perennial stream which drains south/southeast into the wetlands described above. This stream, which flows throughout the year, has a watershed which contains the residential development of 92nd and Millen streets. It has a well-defined channel with a medium gradient, high water velocity, and flashy flows (quick to peak and recede). Cook Park Parcel acts as a natural sponge, soaking up surface water runoff from the upland residential area. Under these hydrologic conditions, water is cleaned in a natural purification process before it reaches the Tualatin River. Therefore, this parcel could be classified as a component of the city's green infrastructure. Millions of dollars are invested in infrastructure to prevent pollution with dozens of public and private sector partnerships formed to support this investment. The United Sewerage Agency has concluded that we can provide additional water quality protection for the Tualatin River with the purchase of this site. B. Completes a city-oivned natural area--Two objectives of the Cook Park Plan combined with the Tigard Park Plan adopted by the city council in 1987 were to: (1) 2 acquire land within the 1.00 VP.ar fl_nndplain and (2) prepare a M=-*,e.r plarl tJ promote t le retention of important natural open spaces in Cook Park. The addition of this eight-acre parcel to Cook Park will accomplish both objectives. C. Provides a link to other natural areas--Parcel F-2 is an ideal buffer linking the active recreational areas of Cook Park to the upland residential development. D. Potential loss to development--Parcel F-2 has twice been the subject of developer's proposals. In 1986 and in 1992, proposals to develop the site fell through. E. Presents unusually.favorable acquisition opportunity-- The current owner has recently spoken with adjoining property owners clearly indicating his readiness to sell r to a developer. F. Community support--The Friends of Cook Park, which should be commended for its efforts, was formed in 1992 to maintain the viability of Cook Park as a natural resource. Both the Friends group and the Copper Neighborhood Association are very concerned about the loss of this unique greenspace. As a group, we have demonstrated our strong support with many letters urging the purchase of this parcel. In addition, a South CIT vote revealed a majority of its members favoring the purchase of Parcel F-2 over other available sites.( Tigard Planning Commission voted to purchase site F-2 at their last meeting.) In addition to meeting the local selection criteria, the parcel complements tourism and family-based recreation in Cook Park, Tigard's most popular park destination. As a venue for special events such as the Hot Air Balloon Festival, it has a positive impact on tourism in Washington County. (Travel expenditures in Washington County for tourism generated $242,485,000 in 1993.) Projections by the Oregon State Department of Economic Development indicate that "cost-effective, safe, family-oriented destination 3 77~~ 11 1. o I 1.._,e t_. yr rat vv ..acreas;ngt)' lIVFJUIG:l. \..V11J1'.lj UClluy, WC, Cui aSSUliLU t;iaL Vy cXpaiiUiiir, %_VVn Park, tourism will continue to grow. Family-based recreational activities like those in Cook Park build strong communities. In 1990, Tigard had 12,084 households. For this active group of families, Cook Park is a highly valuable community resource. Five non-profit youth organizations make extensive use of the soccer and baseball fields. More than 50 groups made reservations in 1995 for 200 or more people. The population trend forecast for Tigard is almost 50,000 residents by 2005. We have insufficient park acreage to meet the future park needs. One means of accomplishing this objective is through Cook Park expansion by land acquisition as noted in the Tigard Park Plan. Expansion.of Cook Park would preserve open space and enhance the natural area for park visitors. A community park where we share our hopes and dreams for the future is worth protecting.

Li Ref: Metro Greenspaces Local Share Project/ Property F-5 Dear Mr. Mayor and City Council Members: I am writing to encourage you to purchase the "Bond Street" property (property F- 5) that is owned by Dorothy and Marjorie Gage. There are several reasons (particularly given the funding that is available through Metro Greenspaces) why this is particularly timely. The property is well located and highly developable. But for the fact that Dorothy and Marjorie Gage have long been commited to preserving this wooded parcel as an open space for future generations, the property would, without a doubt, already be developed. If you do not purchase the property, and if Dorothy and Marjorie are willing to allow development on the site, I intend to be at the head of the line with a renewed purchase offer in hand. The property is well located and easily accessible. The neighbors in the area are willing to make a significant contribution to the purchase price, and lastly - Dorothy and Marjorie are willing to sell the property for the purposes of a "green space" for considerably less than the property's market value. The time is right. The funding is, available.

We strongly urge the City of Tigard purchase the Gage Property using a share of the City's funds from the Metro greenspace bond. The Gage Property, totaling 3.97 acres, is an island of forest in an expanding sea of houses. It is an undisturbed remnant of Tualatin Valley floor vegetation including Douglas fir, ash, cottonwood, big leaf maple, and a great variety of undergrowth. The location and diversity of plant life make this a very important piece of our diminishing landscape in the Tigard area. The Gage family has always considered this site both a wildlife refuge and a place where trees can grow, protected, to their mature height and girth... a natural sampler of valley floor vegetation. They hold fast to their dream of the sale of this property as a wildlife/natural area. Questions have been raised about the degree of neighborhood support for the acquisition of the Gage Property. This arose because of prior unsuccessful efforts to purchase the property by forming a local improvement district (LID). Our organization conducted market research to assess neighborhood interest in purchasing the property as a greenspace. Seve6ty-five percent (75%) of the approximate 100 households located within one block of the Gage Property agree with the neighborhood purchase of this property as a greenspace. Neighborhood support drops to 50% for those neighborhood households residing more than one block away. Past LID efforts included many households either located further away (i.e., between 78th and 79th Ave.) or having poor access to the Gage Property (i.e., the Ashford neighborhood). 8110 SW Bond Street Tigard, OR 97224 Jill Jill ~JJ 11111111111111 "1 EVAN I With the support of the Wetlands Conservancy, a neighborhood fund drive was held to collect pledges to purchase the Gage Property. Neighbors and supportive businesses have promised between $30,000 and $35,000 of the $150,000 purchase price for the Gage Property! If neighborhoods located near other forest lands and trailways provided some financial support for the purchase of greenspace, more property will end up protected in Tigard. Everyone can win! Friends of Tigard Greenspace and the Wetlands Conservancy have worked diligently over the last two years to preserve the Gage Property as a wildlife/natural area - to fulfill the Gage family dream. We ask for your support in this endeavor by using a portion of the Metro Greenspace funding to purchase the Gage Property.

The Planning commission recommended that the new street be named Royalty Parkway. Under state law, the Council should now hold a hearing and accept or reject the Planning Commission recommendation.

MEMORANDUM CITY OF 1'ItARD, OREGON TO: Planning Commission FROM: Randy Wooley, City Engineer 0 l/ DATE: November 5, 1995 SUBJECT: Street name for the 11109th Extension" The street which has been commonly known as 11109th Extension" is currently under construction. It needs to be formally named. Attachment #1 is a letter that was sent to owners of adjoining properties in October. It describes the street and the naming process. Attachment #2 is a letter from Summerfield Civic Association suggesting that the street be named "Arbor Parkway" and describing their reasons. However, the name "Arbor" has been used in other locations in Washington County, and the County tells us that this MEN name should not be used. Upon learning of the conflict, Summerfield Civic Association submitted another letter (Attachment #3) suggesting that the street be named "Promenade Parkway". Summerfield argues that the name "Royalty Parkway" would cause confusion. However, our experience is just the-opposite. We find that having a street change names as it crosses a major street leads to confusion. Therefore, staff still recommends that the street be named "Royalty Parkway". Planning Commission action: State statutes provide that the Planning Commission shall recommend to the council the naming of the street. The City Council will then hold a public hearing and adopt an ordinance naming the street. The Planning Commission action does not require a public hearing. However, the Commission may choose to hear comment-s from citizens before making its recommendation to the Council. rw/109-pc October 1 199: - CITE( F TIGARD To: Affected property owners South Crr OREGON City of King City Summerfield Civic Association Re: Name for new street The-`City's Comprehensive Plan calls for development of a new minor collector street connection between the Little Bull Mountain Area and Highway 99W. The new street will connect to Highway 99W at'the existing Royalty Parkvav intersection. On Little Bull Mountain, the street will connect with existing 109th Avenue. The artradhed map shows the approximate alignment of the new street. Construction has begun on a portion of the street. In a few months, the street will be completed between Highway 99W and Native Stneet Until now, the proposed street has been generally referred to as the "109th extension"; however, the street has never been formally named. Pmcess Street names are usually established by the subdivision plat. However, in this case, no subdivision is involved. Aft So, we must use the alternative process for naming and renaming of streets. Review by the Planning Commission and approval by the City Council will be required. Before we start the formal process, we are providing time for informal discussion among property owners and neighborhood residents. Any recommendations from interested patties should be provided to the Citv Engineer by November 3, 19955. Potential Street Ni mes Some people are referring to the new street as "SW 109th avenue". However. SW 109th Avenue alread,, exists in the Summerfield area. We cannot name the new street SW 109th Avenue unless we are-prepared to change the name of the existing street. I recommend that the new street be called "SW Rovaltv Parkwav". This appears to me to oe the name that causes the least potential confusion. No e%istin_ addresses or street signs would need to be ch :;t t ie wiui iziutrvay 991W, the streets would then have the same name on both sides of the hiahwav.

Hall Blvd. Tigard, OR 97223 Dear Randy: Your letter inviting suggestions for naming the new extension of 109th has generated a fair amount of discussion at Summer- field. Members of the board of the civic association have been challenged to submit ideas, and a number of us in posi- tions of responsibility have been talking about it. Most of us feel that it would be wrong to use the name "Roy- alty Parkway." It seems to us inappropriate to apply a name from the King City pattern of naming outside of King City. Extending that name to a road across Highway 99 from King City could also lead to confusion among strangers trying to find their way into King City. We have an alternative suggestion. Triad is pledged to pre- serve the grove of trees at the summit of Little Bull Moun- tain and will, in fact, name its development there Arbor Heights. With the preservation of that forested area in mind as well as other greenery on the mountain, we should like to nominate the name "Arbor Parkway." Summerfield's executive, Marsha Gardner, has checked with the city to determine whether there is any other street with the name "Arbor" in Tigard and was told there is not. Ron Pheister, president of the Summerfield Civic Association, suggested that we submit our nomination without further ac- tion by our board, and we do hope you';will give serious con- sideration to "Arbor Parkway" for the new extension of 109th.

Hail Boulevard CITY,_~F Tigard, Oregon 97223 Re: Name for New Street Dear Randy: With reference to the above subject, thank you for your November 9, 1995 transmittal inviting suggestions and/or proposals for naming the new road improvements currently being constructed by Sterling Development Corporation in connection with our Tigard Promenade Shopping Center project in Tigard, Oregon. We appreciate the opportunity to participate in naming the new street. This is especially true since Sterling has dedicated the majority of land needed for these public road improvements and has retained the consultants/engineers to design the same and, as you know, is currently constructing the majority of the new roadway with its private sector funds. After careful review and consideration, we respectfully request that the Tigard City Council adopt an ordinance naming the new street "Sterling Parkway". We believe that Royalty Parkway in King City and "Sterling Parkway" in Tigard go hand in hand. Furthermore, this name acknowledges and memorializes our substantial contribution in making this new street a reality as well as the costly new half-street improvements we are constructing along Pacific Highway, including a new $100,000+ traffic signal at the subject intersection.

Mr. Mel Anderson testified and raised two issues at the hearing. He feels he has an easement across the property due to the agreement he had with the previous owners. The easement was not recorded, thus it did not appear in the title report when the City purchased the land. I have enclosed a copy for your information. Mr. Anderson also suggested that if he does not retain access through City property, he will have no other access. The question of the easement was submitted to the City attorney for review. The conclusion was that the reciprocal easement agreement does not constitute an easement and that the agreement is not binding on the City. Engineering has reviewed the access question and has suggested that the driveway previously used through the subject property is not the only access to the adjacent property. The Council continued the hearing until 12/19/95 pending review of these items. Staff suggests that Council ask for any further testimony and then close the hearing. The purpose of the hearing was to solicit testimony from the public on whether it is in the public interest to sell the surplus property. I don't believe Mr. Anderson is arguing against selling the property but is wanting to establish his right to access his property and through it. The Council must then decide whether it will sell the property and what minimum price at which to sell it. The easement issue will have a bearing on the sale in that it will affect the price. The City attorney has issued an opinion on the easement. A copy of the confidential opinion is enclosed under separate cover.

PREPARED BY: Wayne DEPT HEAD OK CITY ADMIN OK (.t,01-7-- ISSUE BEFORE THE COUNCIL Shall the City Council offer property located at the corner of 99W and 72nd for sale, and if so, at what minimum acceptable terms. STAFF.RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that this property be offered for sale and that the minimum terms be set at the appraised value of $56,000. INFORMATION SUMMARY The subject property was purchased from the American Legion in February 1993 40or $170,000 for right of way related to the realignment of 72nd street at 9W. The project is now complete and the remnant property of 12,250 square feet has been appraised and deemed usable and marketable for commercial purposes. The appraisal estimated the market value at $56,000. Having no Public use for the property, it is recommended that it be offered for sale in accordance with TMC 3.44,015 which sets forth the procedures for disposing of standard undeveloped property. The procedures call for a hearing to solicit public testimony to determine if the sale of the property is in the public interest. The attached resolution declares the council's desire to offer the property for sale by sealed bid for a minimum price of $56,000. The resolution also provides the City Administrator the necessary authority to complete the sale transaction. OTHER ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED 1. Change minimum terms and authorize sale. 2. Keep property and use for City purpose. FISCAL NOTES Net proceeds from sale of property will be deposited to the TIF fund to be used for TIF related road improvements. 'Ah
