Staff Report: Powell requested that variance V 8"r75 and Preliminary Plat approval and Subdivision Variance S 3-75 be read sequentially. Staff report was read by Powell. B. Public Testimony o Glen McBride, 7075 SW Shady Court, stated he felt the project had abided by the existing Tigard code and had produced a project in the best interests of Tigard. o Porter asked McBride if he had an agreement to pur- chase the home where the variance was being requested. o Ems asked applicant if he had considered adding a garage to this home. o McBride advised he was not sure at this time. o Popp asked applicant why he had requested a 7 ft. variance on the west side of the property and retained 20 ft. on the east side. 77age4s PC M Octo o Applicant responded by saying "to meet zoning code requirements and compliment the existing residence". o Popp asked applicant if the resident on the west side does not object to the 7 ft. o McBride responded by saying "no". o Popp asked what is to prevent owners of property on lots 12 thru 16 in building their own entrance way onto 113th. o Powell responded that a one ft, reserve strip could be retained the length of the frontage of the sub, division on 115th for closing access to 113th, C.

He further stated that this is a good site Without the road, but would be a bad one with the road, fl C. Commission Discussion o Popp felt that the site proposal was in conformance with NPO #1 land use designation for the area. o Wakem concurred with Popp's remarks and favored this type of land use for the area. Secondly, he felt that this would eliminate additional curb cuts and a pro- posed bike path on the plan was a good idea. o Nicoll felt that the frontage road as proposed by the NPO #1 Plan would have a negative effect on this site proposal. o It was the Planning Commission's concensus that this was a good site plan. There was no formal motion and no vote was taken on this matter, 7.

ADJOURNMENT: 10:50 p.m. (I STAFF REPORT t Tigard Planning Commission October 7, ... 1975 x ( Agenda Item 5.1 CU 12-72 (Wayne McClements/Tigard School of Gymnastics) CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT RENEWAL A request for a 2 year renewal of a conditional use permit to operate a gymnastic school in an M-4 zone at 9800 SW Tigard Ave. (Tigard Industrial Park) Staff Findings 1. A conditional use permit for the Tigard School of Gymnastics was approved on September 19, 1972, by the Tigard Planning Commission under the condition that it be limited to one year and then may be extended with Planning Commission approval. d'i 2. On September 18, 1973, the matter was heard by the Tigard {{ Planning Commission and a two year renewal was granted. 11 f?, Apparently the entire four year renewal period asked was ;, not granted due to some reservations concerning the appropriate continuation of the school in that location as the Industrial Park continues to expand and fill available Ian vacant space. f 1 3. The location of the school in the project has been changed since the conditional use was originally granted in 1972. The move was in 1974 to the second building to be built in the project. This new location faces Tigard St. and is at the end of the building where conflicts do not occur with the industrial traffic serving the project. 4. Staff is aware of no particular difficulty caused by the school' s operation in this location, although staff has it- self observed that available parking appears to be nearly ' saturated at times. 5. Applicant is requesting a renewal for two years, to coincide with the termination date of his present lease agreement. Staff Recommendation To be advised at the close of the public hearing. • 1 Fie /4L STAFF REPORT TIGARD PLANNING COMMISSION October 7, 1975 AGENDA ITEM 5. 2 CU 20-75 (Scales ' n" Tails) CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT A request for permission to establish a wholesale distributor of "aquatic supplies" in an M-4 zone in the Security Storage project units E17, F17 and F18, which are subject to a prior conditional use permit for "storage" granted to the Randal Co. Location of the project is at 8900 S.W. Burnham. STAFF FINDINGS 1. Applicant intends to lease approximately 2800 square feet (units E17, F17, and F18) for a warehouse and wholesale distribution. 2. It has previously been found by the Planning Commission that any use of the security storage units besides "storage" is a conditionaluuse, amending the existing conditional use permit for storage and allowing another specific use. (.` 3. Adequate parking and access appear available at this time for a maximum of six employees. 4. Staff has no information on pick up and delivery activity to be generated. 5. Staff is under the impression that no retail sales or client contacts are to be conducted on the premises. 6. Staff finds the use proposed to be compatible with previously approved establishments and with the design capabilities of the security storage project, STAFF RECOMMENDATION To be made following public testimony. E tJ t ( `_ J" September 11, 1975 TO: CITY OF TIGARD, PLANNING COMMISSION FROM: TROPICAL FISH IMPORT AND WHOLESALE RE: REQUEST APPLICATION FOR CONDITIONAL USE TAX LOTS 2200 and 2300, BURNHAM TRACT In regards to the "Fasano" requirements the following request is submitted: 1. An existing project entitled "Security Storage" located in the Tigard Industrial Park is zoned M-4. One of the conditional uses of M-4 is for warehousing and wholesale distribution. We request permission for the conditional use of Units F-17, F-18, and E-17 as a warehousing and wholesale distribution site of fish and aquatic supplies. 2. The requested conditional use zoning is in conformance with the City of Tigard's adopted comprehensive plan. 3. There is a need for a wholesale distribution center for aquatic supplies in the Tigard area. 4. There have been no changes in conditions, to our knowledge, that would not justify a change in the zoning (conditional use) for this piece of property. The current surrounding land use and street capacity, and the present sewer and water are adequate to serve the proposed uses. 5. The location for this zoning action is particularly suited for the proposed purpose because it is already developed and is the only available space to suit our purposes in the Tigard area. We have a small operation and it would not be economically feasible to rent a larger structure. In addition, adequate parking space for our needs is available. We will only require 3 .Spaces but 6 will be available for our use. 6. The proposed zoning (conditional use) will have no change in the adjacent neighborhood and on the adjacent properties. Currently all the adjacent properties have been developed into industrial and warehouse properties and our proposed zoning would not change the current trend of development in this neighborhood. 4 • Page 2 TO: CITY OF TIGARD FROM: TROPICAL FISH IMPORT AND WHOLESALE 7. Public services would be little affected by the proposed changes in that water and sewer is already developed. The project, as it exists, requires normal police and fire protection. It would require no school, public transportation or hospital services. minimal traffic would result from the change. Therefore, the overall impact this change would have on public services would be minimum. This proposed zoning change (Conditional use) would have no adverse impact on the community.

Tigard Avenue) '} A request for a side yard setback variance to allow the construction of a 50' street for access to a proposed subdivision (Muttley's Addition). 1s STAFF FINDINGS: 1. Approval, of this request must be based, on •findings ' that: a. Exceptional or extraordinary conditions applying to the property that do not apply generally to other properties in the same 1 zone or vicinity, which conditions are a result of lot size or shap e, topography, or other circumstances over which the applicant has no control; and b. The variance is necessary for the preservation of a property right 1; of the applicant substantially the same as is possessed by owners of other property in the same zone or vicinity; and i nce shall not be materially detrimentalt! c. The authorization of the var a t. to the purposes of this title, be injurious to property in the zone �. or vicinity in which the property is located, or be otherwise l' detrimental to the objectives of any city development plan or policy; i Arit and fr d. The variance requested is the minimum variance from the provisions and standards of this title which will alleviate the hardship (Ch. 18. g 76.020 TMC). 2. Applicant's written presentation of hardship is attached. 3. The best alternative available, which would require a variance to l3- foot setbacks for both houses fronting Tigard Street, although allowing non-conforming side yards for both properties, would be a less drastic variance.

Box 65 G Garden Home, Oregon 97223' 8-19-75 Tigard Planning Commission 12420 S.W. Main St. Tigard,Oregon 97223 - Dear Sir: Weethe developers of the proposed subdivision of "Muttley's Addition" would like to define the variances required for this project and point out why they are necessary'. VARIANCES REQUIRED: ' 1. Si de_-yard' East of existing house: needs to be"reduced to 7' to road right-of-way. A. Exceptional or extraordinary conditions: There is no other way to gain adequate entryway into this project. If the road is moved to the East the Jensen's house will have less than the 20' side yard required and both houses will violate the code. B. Preservation of a property right. This entry off of Tigard Street is the only logical way to develop this property. If this entry is denied the property can not be developed. C. Variance shall not be materially detrimental to this property, or other property in the area, any city plan, or policy: Although 7' from the road' right-of-way is not as favorable= as the utopian plan we might wish. It is adequate enough to provide the house with a 15' side yard from the actual street pavement. D. Request is the minimum variance-which will alleviate the hardship: The varianee' being asked' for is only that required to provide 1 the subdivision with a 50' road right-of-way,. a' .3. At: the present time this property belongs to four different owners. They have all agreed to sell. In the future this may not be•the case.. It takes the cooperation of all four owners to. make this project a success. The preliminary plat of thi's pro j'ect has offered' a development soltitiosa to all the,wand' that is locked between the flood plain and the school district property: The time is right to develop this � . land. The future may bring•more development problems that could make this prop erty:°:even-'harder to:.develop.. • Sincerely, Herb Morisset e7Builders Inc. Hy. —err W. ' lir de' • land. Developer • • • • ar�,�rc/AI& STAFF REPORT TIGARD PLANNING COMMISSION ', October 7 , 1975 AGENDA ITEM 6. 1 PRELIMINARY PLAT APPROVAL AND SUBDIVISION VARIANCE S 3-75 (Mor.iSsette/Muttley ' s Addition) A request for preliminary plat approval for a 24 lot subdivision on a 5. 64 acre site, including a request to allow an exception to the subdivision code for an 860 foot cul-de-sac. STAFF FINDINGS: 1. This plat is an effort to replat portions of four large parcels situated to the north and east of Summer Creek, south of Tigard Street, and west of the future high school site owned by Washington County School District No. 23-J. 2. Access across Summer Creek in this area is very difficult due to the relatively flat terrain and stream gradient which would necessitate extensive road fill creating large backwater swales upstream of the road fill. 3. Existing development to the west (S.W. 114th Place) is on a cul-de-sac precluding connecting streets for a conventional loop local street system. The expansion and improvement of S.W. 113th to the east is not possible due to the parcel straddeling that street, nor would it be econofiice.11.y viable in any case due to the school district ' s ownership of the lands to the east of the street. S.W. 113th at present is a 10-12 foot wide in foot right-of-way.gravel street n a 20 f t right f way. t resent At present, this "street" provides access to three houses and a sewer pumping station. Vacation of S.W. 113th would be considered advantageous by staff were suitable alternate access to be provided these places. 4. Due to the physical and developmental constraints imposed by the creek and its flood way, the high school site, and existing residential development surrounding this site; this subdivision will not only establish the development pattern for its immediately parcels,arcels, but will foreclose alternative development J patterns for the remainder, of the Hokola and Simonton properties, all of the Glaubke property north of the creek and all of the Gallo property. 5. Applicant proposes a north-south street extending south about 1000 feet from Tigard Street to the south edge of the proposed development. Two "stub..streets" developed to city specifications, but-Ain 41 '''right-of-ways are proposed to provide access to the Hakola and Simonton properties. The Glaubke property is pro- posed to be served from a southerly extension of the proposed "main" street. It is staffs opinion, that these changes from the original preliminary plat, (which placed a dul-de-sac 60 ' from Tigard Street with access easements to the adjoining independent properties) have pub the subdivision in conformance with Tigard ' s subdivision code and moot the previously requested street length variance. 6. The commission, at its September 2 meeting tabled this matter to allow the applicant time to redesign the proposed subdivision and contact ihesurroundingf property owners. Staff is satisfied that the presently proposed subdivision design provides adequate access to adjacent parcels, and that those parcels not included in the present proposal could be included only with a great deal of effort. 7. The commission indicated a desire for a bikeway/emergency access/ pedestrian way through to 115th street. Staff believes that in this particular instance, such provision is not a good idea. The more appropriate tie-across would be at the south end along the sewer easement. The bikeway/emergency access/pedestrian way could then be part of a;;trail within the greenway along the creek. 8. Street plugs should be provided at the end of each street stubbed out to the property lines. The City could then permit access under a special permit. 9. Staff finds the 40 ' right-of-way proposed for the two street stub to be adequate if the planning commission finds a roadway less than the 34' to be justified. Each of these stubs would serve four or five parcels, should they eventually be developed as cul-de-sacs. Should they be joined, however, as a loop the ` loop would serve six or seven parcels , at most. A 24' roadway, with restricted parking; 5 ' sidewalk on one side adjacent the property line with a 5' planting strip and street trees adjacent the curb line would be acceptable providing easements are provided adjacent the property lines for utilities installation. 10. The "main",istreet, shown as a 50 ' right-of-way should be developed with a standard 34' roadway, with 4' sidewalks on each side adjacent the property lines, and with 32 foot planting areas for street trees between curb and sidewalk. Again, 5' utilities easements would be necessary along front lot lines. 11. No access to 115th ought to be allowed without specific City permission. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Approval on conditions that 1. street plugs be dedicated at the end of each stub street. 2. reserve strip be dedicated along rear lot lines adjacent 115th. Staff Report - October 7, 1975 S 3-75 Page 2 • 3. 5' utilities easements be dedicated along all lot lines with tie back easements as required by the utility companies. 4. 40' "stub" streets be developed with a five foot sidewalk on the north side of each stub, and a 24' roadway. 5. etreet trees, as approved by staff, are to be provided, installed and maintained by the developer until he vends the adjacent homesite. 6. A 5 ' dedication, sidewalks, curbs, and a 2 street improvement as necessary to match existing pavement shall be provided to the edge of the properties fronting on S.W. Tigard Street. (Tax lots 2500 and 2600) Such improvements shall be a continuation of improvement westerly of this proposed subdivision.

Agenda Item '-7. 1. • • ZOA 5-75 . ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT ' A request by the City of Tigard to amend Sections 18.20.020, 18.20.030 and 18.20.040 of the Tigard Municipal Code to in- ' • crease the' minimum lot size required in an R-7 zone and de- crease the rot coverage allowed in an R-15 zone for duplex or two family use. _ • 'Staff Findings • • • I. R-7 Zone The purpose for allowing two family and duplex housing in ... "single family" residential zones is more to allow variation" in house type and style than it is to allow an increased density. When it is considered that ordinarily duplex use is allowed on sites difficult to develop for single family use (either due to adjacency to a commercial or industrial district and/or due to a need to cluster buildings on one part of a site so that the remainder of the site may remain open) , it becomes obvious that the use of the duplex as an option. to . d permit development of otherwise difficult or unattractive sites has outweighed consideration of the place of the duplex in the neighborhood environment, the attractiveness of duplex development for optimizing residential site use and the economic attraction that exists for many people for owner occupancy of a two family dwelling. 1 The policies of the Tigard Planning Commission with respect to duplex development in subdivisions have led to some in- consistencies in development allowed by the minimum site standards presently in the zoning code. For instance, the code requires a full front yard setback for both streets, . a site standard that reduces the buildable area of corner • lots in an R-7 zone by 8 to 12%. If such a site were developed as a single family home (7500 sq. ft. lot, 75 x 100' ) , the • buildable area Would be about 2000 sq. ft. and the usable outdoor living area/play yard would be at most 1200• sq. ft. A similar site, but 8000 sq. ft. for a duplex (80 x .100) , would have an appreciably larger buildable area (about 25% ' ' larger) with about 18% increase in outdoor space, which would then be split between two users, giving each about 700 sq.' ft. net usable back yard. ' The density standard from which the R-7 zone district is . derived allows 4 units per gross acre. After deducting C streets from an R-7 zone district, approximately 80% of the land area is developable. When the public use needs of a • large area are considered it is usually found that another. • 10-20% is used' ,gip by schools , churches parks. This is the "net" 'acre. A net acre, assuming that about 70% remains for development, would then be 30,492 square feet. This "net acre", then, would accommodate four single family resi- dences or 3.8 duplexes for 7.6 dwelling units (at 10,000 sq. ft./building site there would be 3.05 lots/net acre or 6.1 dwelling nits per net acre) . It is the staff's feeling that the allowable maximum density for any site under a conditional use ought not to exceed 1.5 times the 'otherwise allowable density. For comparison, it should be pointed out that the maximum coverage of a duplex. on" a 10,000 sq. ft. lot would be 35Q0 sq. ft. , which exceeds the typical coverage require- ' ment for a two family or duplex house by 1600 to 1700 sq. ft. leaving not les's than 6500 sq. ft. (and usually more like 8000 sq. ft. ) of uncovered land, of which (assuming minimum o 3000 to 4000 sq . ft. of "backyard" (or on setbacks) from 3 sq. , . - front ) for recreational._ unit could be available r 1500 to 2000 sq. ft. /unit) use. In other words, the result of increasing the lot size for duplexes in an R-7 zone from 8000 sq. ft. to 10,000 sq. ft. would be to triple the usable .outdoor living/recreation, space. II. R-15 Zone The R-15 zone is a two unit/gross acre density zone. The net density is arrived at here exactly as in part 1 preceeding. The impact of duplex development on a 15,000 sq. ft. site is mich different than it is on a 7500 to 10,000 sq. ft. site. • The allowable maximum building area (site coverage) on a 15,000 sq. ft. lot ranges from 4800 to 5250 sq. ft. ; however, few duplexes exceed 2000 sq. ft. coverage, including garages and backyard remaining typically would range from 7000 to 10,000 sq. ft. In the case of a duplex built 'on such a lot, the backyard for each unit would exceed substantially the backyard possible on a: 7500 sq. ft. lot for single family use. • III. R-30 Zone In staff's Opinion, duplex use in this zone is compatible' neither with the comprehensive plan's typical suburban estate land•use nor with the economics of a 30,000 sq. ft. • minimum lot size. • Summary of Findings • ' 1. It appears that the 8000 sq. ft. minimum lot size for duplexes '° in an R-7 zone is presently not sufficient to provide adequate usable open space for two family use. At a lot size of 10,000 , sq. ft. for duplex use, there is space for light and air and usable open space per family provided comparable to that pr-o- vided for a single family house on a 7500 sq. ft. lot. 2. The site standards applicable in an R-15 zone allow sufficient area for light, air and recreation with no increase in lot size for duplex use. In that the usable open space available for each family exceeds that necessary to meet minimum family page 2 - staff report - 9/16/75 - item 5.2 a■iw needs by nearly 2 fold, the same considerations that apply ``� i.n the R-7 zone do not necessarily apply here. 3. The maximum lot coverage practical in an R-15 zone and, in fact, in staff's opinion, desirable, is in the vicinity of 3000 sq. ft. , closer to .25% lot coverage than 35% presently , , , allowed. 4. The present setback requirement in an R-15 zone is twenty'r� feet, very much out of balance with a lot size of 15,000 sq. ft. and a net density of two families per acre. Staff's opinion is that in order to allow the kind of environment contemplated in this zone, a more realistic street setback . would be 30 feet. Similarly, the 30 foot setback in the I . _ R-30 zone should be not less than 40 feet, although that may be considered skimpy.. • As setbacks were not intended to be discussed in this staff report but have been dealt with as a result of staff initiative, no recommendation will be made concerning this finding. 5. The intent and purpose of the R-30 zone is to provide a sub- urban environment with estate type development. Two family use may be compatible with this environment in the case of the "extended" or two generation family, but it does not appear that the duplex as such is either intended or desirable in the R-30 zoning district. ,�- 5 6. The conditional uses allowed in residential zone districts in Tigard include many other uses besides duplex use not appropriate on minimum size sites specified in those zone districts. For instance, institutional uses such as churches cemetaries, parks, playgrounds, hospitals, nursing homes, schools and children's day care centers are subject only to a 7500 sq. ft. minimum site 'size in an R-7 zone. Granted, the thirty-f ive% lot coverage requirement would tend to re- late the scale of such an enterprise to the size of the lot, but the fact that such use is possible on a site of that size is of some concern to 'staff. Some adjustment in site sizes minimums for such uses may be a subject of a future detailed study.

Main Tigard, Oregon 97223 Memorandum To: City Council and Planning Commission From: Planning Department Subject: Fee Schedules for Zoning & Subdivision Items Date: September 23, 1975 As a result of the financial situation that is presently afflicting the City, it is necessary that every revenue source be examined to • see if a few extra drops can be squeezed out. The fees charged for zoning and subdivision items have not been revised since 1972. As a result, we find that Tigard has one of the lowest fee schedules of the jurisdiction in Washington County. While it seems obvious that the fees should be revised upward, possibly now is the time to re- examine the basis for fees charged in order to ascertain that they are properly related to the service provided. The basis for the fees charged on zoning-items has, in the past, been related to the amount of staff time spent on a particular category of request and the fees charged by other cities in Washing- ton County. Traditionally the greatest emphasis has been on keeping pace with the fee schedules of other cities. The intent is to re- it cover a portion of the cost of staff time expended in reviewing an application. The question which is asked each time a revision of fee schedules is considered is, how much of the cost of reviewing an application should the City attempt to recoup in the form of application fees? Should the applicant be required 'to cover the entire cost of .considering his request' or should-the taxpayer (the _ _ _public,..whose ..interests..are..being_protected) be required to bear 1 a portion of- the cost? 4' f'l Last year in a staff report to the Multnomah County Planning Com- mission, the planners stated their opinion that the applicant should bear the direct cost of considering his request. Their report states, "In all publicly sponsored activities, those who receive :;' benefit from an activity are seldom paying for the full cost of the activity that provides that benefit. This disparity, if overly . indulged in, can lead to an inequitable redistribution of public funds and benefits. " In their staff report they go on to propose a fee schedule based upon the direct cost of supplying service. This ;` direct cost includes only the time spent per application and not the overhead costs of the department. In May of 1975 the County Com- LI L A MEpt { missioners adopted the proposed fee schedule, thereby accepting this basis for fee scheduling. It is important to point out that the large number of applications being processed by Multnomah County made it possible to cover the direct costs of the Zoning Division of the Planning Department. In other words, the volume served to keep the individual application fee down. If in Tigard we attempted to. 1, accomplish the same thing, our lower volume of applications would require a much higher application fee. . El The fee schedule proposed for Tigard in this report is based upon 1 the fo.11owing 'objectives: F. k' 1.

MEMORANDUM , TO: Planning Commission I FROM: Planning Staff SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan interpretation Frontage road at Garrett and Pacific Highway DATE: October 7, 1975 The planning staff has been presented with a development proposal for two parcels of land fronting Pacific Highway between Garrett and the existing frontage road. This proposal suggests that the frontage road not be extended to Garrett and the present point of the frontage road access to Pacific Highway be improved by the developer. The present ravine on the rear of the property would be filled to accommodate a parking lot and bicycle/pedestrian path. A bike/pedestrian path would also be placed along Pacific where ( none exists today. The first phase of development is for a medical clinic and pharmacy for the doctors presently oper- ating a clinic at Center Street and Greenburg Road. In order to evaluate the Gray proposal in terms of its con- formity with the adopted NPO #1 Plan , it is first necessary to examine the intent of the plan. By providing the front- age road the NPO #j Plan is attempting to eliminate the need for curb cuts directly into Pacific Highway. In addition, the greater set back from Pacific Highway which the frontage road permits, is more conducive to the less commercialized, professional office uses proposed for this portion of the Highway by the plan. This development proposal offers to fulfill the Plan ' s purpose by placing no curb cuts in the Highway margin and by improving the present access point of the frontage road., at Pacific Highway. The frontage access can be given a deeper "throat" , providing for adequate stacking room and a better grade transition with the Highway. Access to the clinic would then be from a idtiveway off an improved frontage road and to Garrett Street by means of an access drive to their parking lot. t The planning staff finds it necessary to seek a Planning Commission interpretation on this matter because the feasibil- ity of extending the frontage road to Garrett was a question when the plan was adopted. Of course, in addition, since the original plan adoption the whole concept of how this road t< is to function has changed. As you recall it was first located to the rear of the properties along this portion of the Highway, with the existing frontage road to be vacated and returned to the adjoining property owners. With the most recent revision to the plan the recessed frontage road concept 0 Memo October 7, 1975 Planning Commission Page 2 was scrapped in favor of using the existing roadway. In the process of revising the Plan the question of how feas- ible the frontage road extension to Garrett Street may be was not considered in depth. The greatest difficulty arising from this revision is that when the frontage road is moved from the rear of the properties in question it must cut a diagonal swath across the subject property in order to enter Garrett Street at a sufficient distance from Pacific Highway. Therefore, now that a development proposal has been offered, the Planning Commission must decide the best method of connecting the existing frontage road with Pacific Highway. The alternatives are: A. close the present frontage road access to Pacific Highway and connect it with Garrett Street, using this as the new point of High- way access, or; B. improve the existing frontage road access point to Pacific Highway and do not provide Highway cuts for the e property between this access point and Garrett Street. In evaluating the two alternatives the following observations can be made. Alternative A--The extension of the frontage road to Garrett makes it possible to eliminate the existing access point on Pacific Highway , this being the primary reason for the NPO #1 Plan recommending it. However, by so doing the property in question looses considerable area to street right- of-way as well as double fronting with streets the long narrow piece of land which will remain for development. Alternative B--By not extending the frontage the property in question is left more useable area. However, this alter- native should only be considered if the existing frontage road access point is improved and no curb cuts are allowed onto Pacific Highway. • Memo October 7, 1975 Planning Commission Page 3 The staff' s judgement on this matter is in favor of the applicant' s request. The proposal does adhere to the intent if not the letter of the NPO #1 Plan. In addition, the staff is concerned that the recent plan revision which moved the frontage road from the rear to the front of the lots was done as a motion by council without pre- liminary examination into the feasibility of such an alignment. It should also be remembered that this link to Garrett was once of much greater importance because the frontage road on an earlier plan was proposed to be extended to Frewing Street. { i I C. 4.,' „,,z„„, 6J 29001 9 .194c.
