4. MINOR LAND PARTITIONING
MLP 7-74 (Way Lee)
Location: For property located southerly of S. W. Pacific
Highway at Pacific Highway's intersection with S. W. 69th
Avenue. (Tax Map 1S1 36AB, Tax Lot 6500 and 6501; Tax Map
1S1 36DA, Tax Lots 300, 400 and 500) .
A. Staff Findings
1. Bolen presented the relevant findings explaining the
proposal's conformance with the Tigard Community Plan
and outlining the need for a public street to serve
this property.
B. Testimony
1. Way Lee and his engineer were present and the engineer
said that they had conceived of three alternate ways
of providing a public street into the property and
were desirous of a Planning Commission decision con-
cerning the alternative best suited to the future
development of subject and surrounding properties.
C. Staff Recommendation
1. Staff recommended denial of the partitioning and
recommended the applicant reapply for a major land
partitioning which would provide for the inclusion
•
of a public street.
D. Commission Discussion and Action
1. Popp stated that alternate "C" , which curves to the
east on the southern portion of the property, is best
suited to the terrain and possibly serves the City' s
future plans for development of the area most com-
pletely.
2. Barkhurst stated that he concurred with alternate "C"
but saw no reason to include improvement of the street
to the end of the applicant's property at this time.
Rather, improvements should only include that portion
now serving the two proposed restaurants.
3. Barkhurst moved that the item should not be considered
as a minor partitioning, but as a major land partitioning.
4. Ball seconded the motion and the motion passed by unani-
mous
vote of the Commission present.
5. Hansen moved to direct Way Lee that the Planning
Commission would like to see alternate "C" on a sub-
mitted preliminary plat for a major land partitioning.
Popp seconded.
6. Hansen's motion was put to a vote and failed by a
majority voting no.
7. Barkhurst moved that the street construction extend
to a point where the three alternates shown on the
submitted sketch map form a "Y" and that right-of-
way should be dedicated for all alternate "C" . In
addition, he directed staff to prepare a condition
to be considered with the preliminary plat which would
require all of alternate "C" to be paved when needed
in the future. He also directed staff to see that some
method of turn-around, whether a cul-de-sac or using
the proposed restaurant parking areas, be provided as
as a temporary feature. <<
8. Nicoll seconded and the motion passed by majority
vote, Ball and Whittaker voting no.
9. Ball suggested that a bond be used to guarantee com-
pletion of the area which would not be paved in con- 'S
junction with development of the restaurant property.
5. NEIGHBORHOOD PLANNING ORGANIZATION - NPO #2 - Greenburg-Brookside
A. Commission Discussion
1. Whittaker said that the Planning Commission appears
Page 2 - PC Minutes - October 1, 1974
i
to have formed a concensus that the site shown for (`I
t a park on the NPO #2 Plan is the most suitable and 4{
that a public need for such a facility does appear €i
to exist at this time. Ii
2. Ball suggested that the park board should be consulted
in the future on the selection of park sites for ,"
neighborhood plans.
3. Ball suggested that the staff notify all persons
affected by the NPO #2 Plan concerning zone changes,
street extensions, etc. of the upcoming City Council
hearing concerning this plan.
4. Whittaker said that the land along Tigard Street which
is planned for residential development could possibly
be better developed as some type of light industrial
or limited commercial land development. In addition,
Whittaker stated that the Planning Commission emphasizes
the priorities for a development included within the
Plan.
5. A question arose concerning the need for pedestrian
crossing between Tigard and Commercial Streets across
the railroad tracks at a point where Grant and 95th
St. are located. The Planning Commission concurred
that they would like to see a grade crossing in the
., form of a pedestrian-bicycle path at the railroad
tracks at this point.
6. Whittaker stated that the statement from NPO #1 which
stated that, "When existing streets are improved,
careful consideration will be given to the effects
upon widening existing homes near the right-of-way. "
Also to be considered in the NPO #2 planning area is ;.
the previous statement.
7. Ball stated that the policies referring to multi-family
development carry some implications that the plan might
in some way be purporting exclusionary methods. For
example, that by constructing more expensive apartment
units, a more desirable type of apartment tenant would
be the result. He stated his belief that the plan
should include no implication that there is an attempt
to exclude persons of any economic class and that the r'
plan should include a statement to this effect.
8. The Planning Commission discussed Mr. Ball 's concern
and concurred that they should recommend to the Council `.
that a statement be included within the text of the
plan clearly stating the City's position that there �f
is no effort implicit in the plan to exclude persons °:
of specific economic class. "

9. Whittaker stated that policy 7 should read that,
"Within the low density residential area, duplexes
will be considered, " rather than "be allowed".

TIGARD PLANNING COMMISSION
Staff Report
October 1, 1974
Agenda Item 4.1
MLP 7-74 (Way Lee)
Minor Land Partitioning
For property located southerly of S. W. Pacific Highway at
Pacific Highway's intersection with S. W. 69th Avenue.
(Tax Map 1S1 36AD, Tax Lot 6500 and 6501; Tax Map 1S1 36DA,
Tax Lot 300, 400 & 500) .
Staff Findings
1. The site is currently vacant. The applicant proposes to
construct and lease two restaurants as first phase develop-
ment of the property.
2. The total site comprises16.9 acres. Tax Lots 6500 and 6501
are located within a C-3, General Commercial zone and Tax
Lots 300, 400 and 500 are located within an R-7, Single
Family Residential zone.
3. The Tigard Community Plan designates the subject site
( appropriate for "General Commercial"use, said Plan stating,
"The development of individual properties in these areas
should take into account the traffic safety and visual
problems associated with 'strip commercial development' .
The present pattern of development along Highway 99W is
not desirable. It is dangerous, inefficient, confusing
and unsightly. "
Policy and Standard #5 of the General Commercial Section
of the Tigard Community Plan states, "development will
coincide with the provision of public streets, water and
sewerage facilities.. These facilities shall be (a) cap-
able of adequately serving all intervening properties
as well as the proposed development and (b) designed to
meet City or county standards. "
Objective #2 of the General Commercial Section of the
Tigard Community Plan states it is a plan objective
"to minimize the inherent conflict between the safe,
rapid movement of through traffic and shopper traffic
on major streets".
4. The unadopted. Tigard Triangle Development Plan designates
the subject site "Urban Medium Density Residential", said
development being "characterized by single family homes
clustered on small lots such as patio houses, duplexes,
townhouses and garden apartments. Densities will range
from 6 to 12 dwellings per gross acre.
Mt
J
The Tigard Triangle Development Plan indicates a collector
street connecting the subject property with S. W. Pacific
Highway and the Oregon Education Association Office com-
plex. This roadway is necessary to adequately serve the
subject site as well as intervening properties as re-
quired by Policy #5 of the General Commercial Section of
the Tigard Community Plan.
5. The subject proposed collector street requires a minimum
60 feet of right-of-way and 44 feet of paving, assuming
the parking of automobiles on the street. The subject
collector street should generally follow the natural
contours of the land and spur streets should be con-
structed to serve adjacent properties.
6. Tigard has historically developed without an adequate
traffic circulation system. The subject site provides
a natural entrance to a large developable area of land
from S. W. Pacific Highway at an existing intersection
with S. W. 69th Avenue.
7. As the subject property and street abut the Oregon Edu-
cation Association complex and through traffic cir-
culation is a community need, the Oregon Education
Association should be required to continue subject road
through their property prior to or in conjunction with
further development or land partitioning.
Staff Recommendation
Denial of the request for minor land partitioning. The
applicant is to be requested to reapply for major land
partitioning.
