Surroundng Zoning and Land '.is • The area surrounding the subject property is zoned M-2, General Industrial and M-3, Light Industrial and is developed with various industrial uses and scattered single family homes. ADPlicant' s Justification (by the applicant' s attorney) . . . this application is for permission to complete a warehouse which is in fact partially complete. The warehouse, now on the property, was erected in 1969 At the time that is was erected, a concrete pad was poured • to be used when the building was completed. The owner, A. H. Buck, plans to complete the warehouse and to put an attractive front on the building which will improve the neighborhood and be a credit to Tigard."

The Washington County Zoning ang Ordinance does not requi'^r, a side yard setback, while the City of Tigard Zoning Crdinance requires 20 feet. The staff further finds that the requested variance meets the conditions for variance approval. as stated in Section c�. 240-2 of Zoning Ordinance. It is recommended that the request be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. Future building additions shall conform to i the City' s Zoning Ordinance. 2.

Loc and Land Use of Subject Pr, ert„y The subject property is located on the north side of S.W. Hunziker St. approximately 800 feet east of S.W. Hall Blvd. and is developed with three buildings utilized by the Irvington-Moore Co. Three noncomplying mobile homes are located on the property and are being utilized for office space. Surrounding Zonin , and Land Use The abutting parcels to the west are zoned R-7, Single • Family Residential and support residences. The area surrounding the subject site to the north, east and south is zoned M-3, Light Industrial and developed with light industrial uses. The Beaverton-Tigard expressway is located just to the northeast. Applicant' s Justification "AYp'1 i cants, Edwin W. DeKoning and Patricia DeKoning, owners, and Irvington-Moore a division of U.S.N.R. , lessee of property owned by said DeKonings, request conditional uses of property with respect to the alleged apparent violations referred to in letter • of October 15, 1.971 addressed to Irvington-Moore by Ray Rangila, City Planner of City of Tigard. Said letter makes specific reference to Section 170-2, 210-`6, 245-1 and 190-6 of the zoning ordinance of the City of Tigard. • • Irvington-Moore is the successor of Irvington Machine Works, Inc. which moved its plant from Portland to the present site in 1959. Irvington-Moore is engaged in the manufacturing of machinery used in the forest products industry. It employes 150 to 160 persons. Its annual payroll approximates $1,500,000. This manufacturing plant was first established in a building approximately 38,000 square feet constructed 1959. It has just completed two new buildings. The square footage of all buildings total 78,000 square feet. The total plant is located on a tract of land approximately fifteen acres. The DeKonings plan to construct an additional building to be used by Irvington-Moore as an office building which will contain approximately 25,000 square feet. • Conditional use is requested for the following: (References are made to the sections in October 15, 1971 letter in the order set forth therein. ) 1. Section 170-2. Outside Storage. Outside storage of steel beams used in the manufacturing of saw- mill and lumber manufacturing machinery, and outside storage of prototype of lumber sorter and stacker used for display, demonstration sad. experimentation. It is not feasible or practical to have same in an enclosed building. 2. Section 210-6-B. Sgreenin . Temporary storage of scrap metal and removable waste resulting from operation of manufacturing plant and which is removed periodically. The location of this area is 'far re owed, approximately 400 feet, from pedestrian and vehicular traffic. It is not adjacent to such traffic. There are residential unite to the west of this area, none of which is closer than approximately 175 feet. Said residences are on elevated ground and a fence . as required by the ordinance would not obstruct the view of this area by the residents approximately { 175 feet away on elevated ground, Applicants would be willing to plant trees on the adjacent land to 1' the west to serve as a screen if permission were granted by owners of said land, or applicants are willing to purchase a strip of said adjacent prop- erty from said owners and plant such trees. Appli- cants previously attempted buy cants ahem ted to bu a strip of prop erty from owners to the west in order to plant trees to serve as a screen. Owners refused to sell and applicants then offered to plant trees on this (; Pg. 2 - Staff Report - Irvington-Moore - 12-21-71 9 • adjacent property with the permission of tine owners and this was also ref,Ased by said owners. 3. Section '245-1. 222.29.4ry strue wu 'es. Irvington- Moore is presently using three terl:porary structures as offices. They are adjacent to h ,lain plant and are approximately 300 feet from the closest road. Although such temporary structures were constructed originally as trailers they are in reality temporary buildings and are not trailers and can be made into permanent buildings by slight modifications. Their use is absolutely necessary to the operation of this business. It is contemplated that when the new office building • is constructed said buildings will be removed. 4. Section 190-6. Off street parkin area. This present off street par ing area exclusive of building site is approximately 30,000 square feet and is heavily graveled and will be maintained in good condition for parking necessary and required for employees and visitors. It is contemplated to build a new office building a part of said area. The exact size and location of the new office building has not yet been determined and will be constructed either to the west of the present off street parking area or on part or all of the present off street parking area. When said new building is constructed the remainder of said area used as an off street parking area will be covered with asphalt." Staff Findings and Recommendation The staff finds that Section 190-6 of the City of Tigard ;! Zoning Ordinance requires that " . . . all areas used for the standing or maneuvering of vehicles shall be improved according to the same specifications as required for city streets. " It is the staff's opinion that the request for temporary (3 to 5 years) gravel parking lot does not meet the intent of the conditional use provisions for temporary uses or temporary structures within Section 245 of the Zoning Ordinance. Also, approval of such a permit could set a precedent for other industrial or, commercial uses. 1' The request for the temporary use of three mobile homes as offices also does not appear to meet the intent of the Zoning Ordinance, Section 245-3 (e. ) states: "That the purpose for which the temporary use or occu- pancy permit is sought is compatible with and incident to the completion of the basic purpose for which the land is being developed, and the duration of such use is limited by the period of development, such as, temp- orary sales office in a residential district." Pg. 3 - Staff Report Irvington-.Moore - 12-21-71 rt It is the staff' s opinion that outside storage areas should always be fenced in order to provide both visual . screening and to confine storage areas. The staff further finds that desirable screening from the ' abutting residential properties can only be accomplished . with dense tree planting along the westerly property line. ' Such a screen will provide both a visual and noise buffer. -' It is recommended that the request for outside storage and the temporary offices be approved, and the temporary gravel parking lot be denied, with the following conditions: 1. The use of the three temporary offices shall be . limited to a period of one year, at the end of which time permanent or alternative office space ! shall be utilized. 2. The outside storage area shall be located behind the building and fenced, plans to be approved by - ' the Oity staff. If the existing lumber sorter and stacker is no longer in use it shall be dismantled and removed. Otherwise, it shall be maintained in good condition. 3. A dense strip of trees shall be planted along the ' westerly property line if an agreement for an easement or purchase is accepted by the adjoining property owners. In addition, the front 10 feet of 1 the subject property shall be landscaped and main- 4. A detailed parking and landscaping plan showing the location, varieties and sizes of trees and plant materials, and striped parking spaces, shall be approved by the City staff. 5.

Hunziker Street approximately 800 feet east of S.W. Hall Blvd. (Map 2S1 1BC tax lots 100, 101, 200 and 2000) All persons having an interest in the matter are invited to attend and be heard. j., { Tigard Planning Commission Staff Report December 21, 1971 Agenda Item VA is Subdivision Variance For "Hollytree" Subdivision, located on the west side of S.W. 115th Ave. , north of S.W. Gaarde Street. i pulicant Wilsey & Ham, Inc. ipplicant's Reque8t Subdivision variance approval for the following: 1. Road surfacing widths of 26 feet on cul-de-sacs 2. Sidewalks on one side of 34 foot-wide street 3. No sidewalk on 26-foot wide streets 4. Cul-de-sac right-of-way radius of 45 feet 5. Street surfacing center line radius of 65 feet. 42211-9.9.4144-4-411.1.1121CUM "These features are necessary to insure good placement of homes in relation to the topography and to preserve as many trees in the existing holly grove as possible. This will complement the undisturbed .92 acre wooded open space at the west end of the subdivision. We respectfully request approval of the proposed design." Staff Findings and Recommendation The staff finds that the standard 34 foot street for cul-de-sacs is unnecessary, wasteful and detracts from the residential appearance of most subdivisions. However, it is the staff's Opinions that a minimum street width of 28 feet is dee40Able in order to provide enough space for emergency vehicle accese. Also, it is the staff's opinion that sidewalks are not always necessary within }, cul-de-sacs for pedestrian traffic. The staff further finds that local streets within urban subdivisions should be provided with sidewalks on both sides, with alternative pedestrian circulation systems possible through planned development zoning. The staff feels that sidewalks can be located next to the curbs and it looped around street light and mailbox clusters if desitrned in coordination with utility companies. The staff finds that the radius variances for the cul-de-sacs and the 34 foot street are features which will not impede vehicular circulation or safety. The staff recommends approval of the following variances and conditions : 1. Cul-de-sac street widths of 28 feet. 2. Cul-de-sac right-of-way radius of 45 feet and street surfacing centerline radius of 80 feet on the j 4 foo t street. 3. The design and location of sidewalks shall be coordinated with the utility companies and the City. ' The developer shall design and place clustered mail- boxes and street lights in coordination with street tree planting. 4. Four-foot sidewalks on both sides of all streets. When sidewalks must meander due to location of utilities, landscaping affording positive weed • control must be provided by developer between back of curb and sidewalk. • • • • • • Pg. 2 - Staff Report Wilsey & Ham, Inc. 12-21-7 ' ... ---.--.....-7---........... , '-'-,:,,,,,- *, •,..,,,r 5, .;,' 4 / '' 1 ,' •. / \ L/1 •;,.• \ ,„ , , \ , . .,,,„ , ., .,•..
