A. Staff Report: read by Bolen. �i
B. Applicant�s Preseiztation: � ��'�
u
o Mr. Robert Fletcher, applicant, stated that the 4
need for the �hange from i�he originally approved �
plan is necessitated by a changE in th� m�rket, h
which is not presently con.ducive to lar�er office �
buzldings. The present mark�t is favorable for �
smaller, owner-occupied nffice buildings. He ;
also stated that limiting the buil.ding coverage F!
to 40/ would l�a�e adequat� open space an.d ��r�c�- �,
scaping around the buildings much in excess o:f �;
what is required in M-4 zoning. �j
I
o Mro Hilton Smith, economist for the applicant, ;
stated that a good exam�le of the lack �f a gaod ��
I' market for large office buildings can be reflected
� ``� in Zi.n.colnwood Office Building which exhibits a
�; high vacancy rate.
o Moore a�sked a'bout what the intention was in regard
to the land.--locked parcel. labeled as lot 15.
i �
o Fletcher respanded they did not presently contem- �
plate the southerly extension of the interior ;
� street, but were leaving that option open should
it present itself_.
o Goldbach stated �that the preliminary concept was
�
soun,d and that a staff/applicant Gonference would
be in order to iron out the dimensional dif�erences
which were pointed out in the staff report.
o Bolen stated that when Smith and Hanssn f�rst con� `
tacted him about the development of the property
or about revising the general development plan,
he informed them that they had a unique piece of
property in this p�rt of the City and that it
should be developed to take advantage of those on-
site amena.tzes. �
o Barry Rand, representative of Campbell-Yost and
�„ Grube, consulting architects for the project,
stated that the first alternative proved to be

� .
unec�n.omi.c and that they are willing to work wi.th
staff to settle the dimensional problems. i
There being no further public testimony, the public
me�tin.g was closed.
E. Commission Discussion and Action
o Porter stated that the concept, as presented by
the applicant, conforms to the Comprehensive P1an;
that the maz�ket has changed in regard to office
space; and tha,t the presented deti*elopment concept
fulfills a community need for office space in the
Tigard area.
o Goldbach questioned whPther the property could be
u�ed as M-4.
o Bolen, responded that the only use that �ould be
made of that propert,y is as per the Plar�.n.ed Develop-
men-t agreement.
o Porter question,e�. what the previous zoning was.
� o Bolen responded that the parcel vaas previously
zoned R-- and if the P annin Co;nrni ion fin.d h
7 1 g ss s t at
t:his PD cannot be i�.itiated within a year, then.
they may :ini�iatP rezon.ing proceedings to revert
that zoning to R-7.
" o Goldbach stated �that the concept was OK and �;he
details needed to '�e wo.rked out and urged a staff/
, applicant conference.
o Nicoli stated tha.t he also felt the concept was sound.
. o GoldbaCh moved and Saka�ta seconded to table the re-
quest until after an applicant/staff.meeting and th�
applicant is willing �to reappear with the request.
o Motion. approved by unanimous voice vote.
5.3 VARIANCE V 4-76 (Charles McClure)

C. Public Testimony
o Dick Mi11er stated that constrictions along the
fl.00d plain, associated with fi11s and o�h.er man�ade
features such as Grimsted Bridge, have constricted

unnecessary flooding.

(f) Prior to the issuance of building permits for each

(h) The property own�r(s) shall provide curbs between all
landscaped areas and parking 1ots. "
4. Summarizing Section 18.56>O10 of the T�.g�rd Municipal Code,
the purpose of the planned development district is to allova
design flexibility to accen�Luate and enhance the un.ique ameni.ties ;
�> of' a particular site, while a� the same time �.chievin.g econoznies i
in land development, maintenance and utilities systems. It is i
questionable whether this concept goes much beyon.d the develop- �
ment �f a standard bu.siness subdivision. No attem�t to inte-
grate the common fun.cti�ns of the individual uses has �een por-
tray�d, nor -to li_nk the entire developmen.t around a central
, place or feature. The previously-approved Plann.ed Development �
provided a park-like setting (slightly over 1 acre) which the '
� buildings were grouped ar�und. The new proposal could resul.t ;
in total buildin.g floor area of 107,320 sq. ft� , if a1.1 buil.dings �
a,re single story, or 214,658 sq. ft. , i� all the buzldings are �
two st�ry, rather than the original '104,600 sq. ft. The land +
coverage would increase from 64,000 sq. ft. to 107, 329 sq. ft.
Buildin.g land coverage ha� inc;reased from 15.7/ of the t�tal
site area to 30%. The landscaped area has decreased from 43/ �
to 40/. The amount of parkin,g space has been reduced by 10%
over the original plan. Staff wou"ld a1No like to know the �
total number of spaces proposed in the amended plan. f
r
While staff realizes that the type of commercial development `
being proposed must, of necessity, use more land area, the ;
. proposed scheme do�s not produce the amenity found in the €
original plan, nor does it sufficiently capitalize upon the �
unique setting that coi�,sists of this site. C
� 5. 7.'he request for the �;hange addressed all plan and program elements �
except the ��genera�_ timetable of development". �

6. The proposed land use is consistent with the underlying M-4
zone, but the density significantly exceeds that cal.led ior in
the zone. M-4 requires a minimum 40,000 sq. ft./lot, whereas
the proposal specifies 19,628 sq. ft.
7. Section 16.36.050 of the TMC allows one free-standing directory j
sign at the entrance to the park from SW 72nd Ave. , a designated
collector street in the Tigard Community Plan. The total al.low--
able sign surface is 250 sq. ft. , if multi-faced, with park
tenants identified by no more than 4 sq. ft. Each tenan,t is
allowed one free-standing sign riot to exceed 8 ft. in height an.d
32 sq, ft. in surface. The proposed lotting pattern would allow
13 free-standing signs along the interior stree�t;. The number
of free-standing signs appears to be excessive and should either
be subject to review by the D�sign Review Board or prohibited
in lieu of wall mounted signs.
8. The park is to be serviced by� an internal public streete Section
17.28.130 of the TMC requires the minimuxn centerlin� radii af
curves to be _100 ft. The proposal shows three subs�an.dard curves
of 35 �'t. The City Engineering Dept. has stated that th� pro--
I posed alig�ment is unacceptable as presented.
�' � 9. Section 18.52.040 (1) of the TMC requires a fifty ft. setback
' fram a residential zone. The Ti�ard Communit P7_an and the
z�ning map d�signate �he a.x°ea west of SW 7 nd as "urban low
density resid�ntial" and ��,in�le �amily residential" , respectively.
The setback measurements are calculat�d from the property line.
In this ca�e the setbac� would be measured after the required.
1.0 ' d�dication on SW 72nd, n�t be�ore. as proposed. Due to
' the long range commitment in the Tigard Communit Plan to main.tain
this reside�ntial area, the 50 ft, requi.rement o�the underlyin.g
' M-4 zone should b� mainta�.ned.
l0o No spe�ifiaations on ligYitin�; were submitted.
11.. Sectian 17.28.040 of the TMC requ.ires that the minimum right-of--
way width for business and in.dus�trial street� be 60� with 44'
of pa�vemen.t vridth. The proposal shows a 50' right-of-way with
a 34' pavement width� Considering the number and frequency of
vehicles assaciated with the thirteen in-�erior offices, the
minimums addres�ed. in the TMC sh�uld either be adhered to or
onpstreet parking should be restricted. If on--street parking
is restricted, a 36� pav�ed. width is a pc�ssibility.
12. Section 1.7.32.Q30 (A) af the 7�'.MC requires 1.0' minimum utili-ty
easPments to be deda.cated or provided for in deed r�strictior�s
alon.g rear or siae lot lin.es. Nane were shown, on the. pre--
liminary proposal.

13. Seetion 17.36.040 of the TMC states that double frontage an.d
� reversed fron.tage lots should be avoided except where essential. I
Lot 11 is a multiple frontage lot and through �.ccess should be i
1
prohi.bited. k
14. Section 17.44.020 of the TMC requires that streets within the ;
subdivision, and existing streets which abut the subdivision,
shall be graded, constructed, reconstructed, surfaaed or repaired ��
as determined by the Planning Commission with the advice of the '
City Engineer. Their recommendation is to consider SW Varns as
a commercial street and require addition.al right-of-way dedication ;
to increase its width to 60' . SW Varns is essen.tially unimproved
dnd presents the options of creating a L.I.D. on the en�tire ;
length of it or including its improvement from the southeast
corner of lot 11 to SW 72nd as part of this application. A ;;
hal.f street improvement on SW 72nd from the soutriern corner o:�
lot 4 to the intersection with SW Varns has been �ecommended by
th� engineering departmerit.
1.5. Sec�;i�n. z7.44.050 requires installation of public ,sewer lin.es
on each lot, if � sewer main is within 300 f�t;. of the subdivision.
The closest sewer main i.s approximately 600 ft. south, near
San.dburg, and could be difficlzlt �to connect with due to the
relatively shallaw depth of the main line at its n.orthern ter- �'
�- niinus. Section 17.44,050 provides the Commission with twa �
options, (1) recomm�nd cons-truction of an. assessment project to �
� facilitate hooking up to the existin.g system; (2) approve an
alternate dis osal s stem that would mee�L Count De t. of b�-
P Y Y p �
lic Health and State Departmen.-t of Environmen,tal Qu�lity Si;andar��s. �
� i6. Section 17.44.060 requires �that drainage of surface water shall ''
be �rovided as determined by the Planning Commis�ion. The pro- '
pasal states that an on-site storm drainage system will be con-
structed i.n accordance with all local cades and ordinances.
Since the storm drainage would necessarily be in-to state higYiway :�'
and/or county right-of-way, the State Highway Dept. will require �
an ��outfall drain.age" perrnit and the County requires a permit s
�or storm drainage into ar onto County right-of-way. �
;
H
�-7. Access onto SW 72nd from lot 4 requires a Goun-ty access permit,
as does the new interior street. An. a.lternative to providing
an access directl�r onto �he collector street would be to create �'
a common access point for lots 3 and 4 onto the new roadway along �
the east line of l�t 3. �'
18. �To distance was given, from the intersection of SW 72nd an:d SW �"
��
Varns. A minimum of 100' east of the SW 72nd ri�;ht-of-way should ='
b� required so as to provide a saf� and adequate access point. ti;
� This 100' minimum should also be maintained f�r access to lots �;
2 and 3. ��

19. In orde.r to limit the number o� access poi,nts onto the interior
street, common access/egress points should be provided.
20. Access on the southeast portion of 1ot 11 requires a sta-Le
highway dept. access permit. The engineering dept. recommends
that access to lo-ts 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 be permitted only
` from the irlterior street.
21. It appears from the proposed plot map that space is being
reserved between lots 15 and 10 �'or an extension of the interior li
street to the south property line. If this is the intent,
adequate right-of-way for a 20' radius should be provided in
the northeast corner of 1ot 10.
22. Section 17.44.070 of the TMC requires i�hat a11 util.ity lines
sha11 be placed underground. No mention was znade in the sub�
mitted material that this is the applicant's intention.. The
present overheacl electric and telephane lines along SW �72nd
should be placed undergro:und, if feasible, �s with the utilities
within the subdivision.
23. The propasal shows a bus turn-out larle on SW '72nd. The specific
location. shown may restrict southern visibility wh�n pulling
�^` out o� �the new streeto Consa.dexation should be given. to locating
�:.� it further south or at a point centering on the common bou.ndary
line betwe�n 1.ots 1. and 2.

Tax lot 3400 of Wash. Co. tax map 2S1 2AB is designated ��C-3M�� �
(Main StreEt General Commercial) .
�
2. Section 18.30.040 of the TMC requires that, in a C-3M zone, j
��the minimum front yard sha11 be ten feet, landscaped and �
maintained. �� :
�
�
3. Section 18.76.010 of the TMC authorizes th.e T�lanning Commission ;
to grant variances from the requirements o�' Titl.e 18, where ;
� it can �e shown that, owing to special and tanusual circum- �
stances related to a specific piece of property, th� li-teral
inter�retation a�' this title would cause an undue or unneressar�
h�rdship. ,
4. Section 18.76.020 of -the 'I`MC states that, ��No variance sha17_
be granter� by the Plarining Commissian uriless it can be shown '
' that a11 of the following conditions exist:

(4) The variance requested is the minimum variance
from the provisions and stan.dards of this title
which will alleviate the hardship. ��
5. The applican�, has submitted a response to the question raised
in the �.'MC as list�d in the above staff report.
6. Section 18.60.120 (5) (c) requires one parking space for each
�50 sqizare feet of floor area.
FINDINGS:
l. The appl�_can.t has requested a variance t� Section 18.30.040
of the TMC to permit constructian. of a 1,600 5qo �t. office
building in the C-3M zone on a parcel with an existin.g resi-
dence and garage.
2. T� developed to TMC specifi.c�.tions, a building with �+00 sq.
ft. �ess than desired could be construc�ed
3. The ].ot in question i.s approximately 5400 sq, ft.
�-��. A vari�.nGe reducing the front yard setback tn Q' from 5 ' was
granted. to lots 3100 and 3200 by the Planning Commission on
�', December 19, 1967.
5. A varaance reducing -the front yard setback from 10' to 6° was
�xanted to lot 3500 by the Plannin� Commi.ss?on on. September 3,
1974•
6, Tlie purposes for� requiring setbacks are for public safety and
. to assure adequate open space for light and air.
7, Because the property abutting the sideyard is part of the
highway right-of-way acquired for the Paci.fie Highway overpass
and is highly unlikely ever to be developed, the intent of the
TMC is being preserved,
E3. Any further relaxation of t�.e setback provisions woul.d allow
construction on the prnperty line and effectively eliminate
the landscaping requirement. This variance is the minimum
allowable and still allows landscaping.

Agenda Ttem 6.1
FLOOD PLAIN FILL PERMIT
A request for a permit to fill lands within the 1.egal flood
plain of Fan.na Creek, l.ocated at 9110 SW Burnham St.
APPLICANT'S PROPOSA.L
See attached submission by applicant.
STAFF FINDINGS
1. 'Irhis item was first 'brought to the Planning Commission on
Nov. 5, 1974. It has since been tabled three times to allow
the applicant to submit additional evidence to the Commission.
TYie primary evidence lacking from each submission has b�en
a plan prepared by an hydrolic en.gineer. This is required in
Secti:o.n 18.57.060 (1) of the TMC, The pu•rpase of involving an
hyarolic engineer is to enable the Commission to identify the
impacts upon the fload plain and the effectiveness of any I
arneliorative measures. At the last meeting (February 17, 197�) ,
�he Planning Commission directed staf� an.d the �pplicant to con-
- tact the Army C�rps of Engineers and ob-tain. th�ir assessment j
� �``r of the efF�cts that he ro o d
�. t p p se pro�ec;t would have upon Fanra.o �
Greek Flood Plain. This tv�as done and a copy of the corresponden.ce �
between staff an.d the Corps is attached. '
�
In his 1Ptter, Mr�. Huetter has gone as far as possible toward �
advisin.g the Commis�sion in the absen.ce of more complete engin.eer- '
` ing information (se� item 'c ' ) . In essence the Corps. has
advised the Planning Commission that approvin� 5,000 cubic yards 'i
of fi11 an this si�te, in an. area adjacent Burnham St. , will not
be detrimental to the flood capacity or Fanno Creek. However,
as Mr. Huetter explains in item 'd' of his letter, a threat �
would exist if similar fil7_ing were allowed on man.y additional `
properties along th� creek, owing to the multiplier effect. '
Th�refore, if the Commiss.ion chooses to approve this applzcation, ,
it sl�?�u�.d in no way represent a precedent for ot�.er properties 1
in the flood plain. However, t�.is shouid na� �r-ove �o b° too
diff'icult a preced�nt to avoid in that this entire 5 acre property
is essentially unusable due to its almost total inc;lusion within ;�
the flood plain.
�
,
STAFF RECOMMEND.A,TION: Approval, subject to the conditions as follows: ;
7
l. Net fi11 brought to the site not exceed 5000 cubic yards. "
�
�
2. Average slope of 1:60 to be maintained within the ��10 year flood �
� plain.�� (elevation less than 146� MSL) from low water surface '!

Deax Mr. Bolez�:
I have your 23 Alarch 1976 J_ett�r requesY. for information on fload3.n.g
concerning a proposed develapment site near S.W. Burnham Street in �
Tigaxd, Ox�egon (application M 9-74�•-Ho�ae E. Lee) . You pose.d �everal
questions which are addr�ssecl in the order presented as follo�rs:
�
�� a. From a f].00d risk viewpoint, shapa.ng �he Zow lying area to
ialpr.ove d�rainage wou].d be a.nconsequential.
b, ��nnrally a step backwater analysis is used to determine �he
hydraulic characteristics of a parti.cu]_ar stream reach. �ield surveys
are required to plzysically define the channel and overbank areas a�d
a discha.rge must �e calculated f_or the regul.atory floocl (100-year
' fJ.00d). Our off3.ce uses th� HFC II �comguter pro�x-�m to c�mpute f.lood
heiglits and veZaeities oi flow whicti correspond ta those conditions.
Such an analysis t�ould be requ�_red to c�mpare flood conditians without
�the f�ll and with the �i11 to accur_ately determixze the c�nstrictive �
�ffects of the fill.
c. Since the. cl?anzie�. al.�.nement is straight anrl, as describnd in
�a�rx meeting ��ith Mx. Alcre the floactevay a.s alr.raady satnevahat con- }
:,i.r-�rred by fi.l.l on property' immediately upstrea.m, �he p�oposed fill ,
' lik��i.y w�u1d not sa.gnif.icanL-ly i:ncr.ease the flood risk. Thj.s, of j
cou�,:^, is bas�d on engineer3�ng judgment and not on a thorough a.nalysis.
�
d. Tlze 17:ro��sed f:i11 by itself, �,rau�,d displace a xelativel.y smal]=
I
�art of the total natural storage on Fanilo Creek. However, the accumu- '�
lat�:ve ei_'fect of potential future fi11s at ot'lzer sites along 'the creelc
c�uld �i};nificantly recluce storage and result in higher flood st.ages
and velac.i.ties do�anstream.

'� e NPPEN-PL,~7 � 1 April 1976
Mr. nick Bolen
e. A flood insurance study would result in a hydrology and hydraulic
analysis which would provide information on the extent of flooding for
a 100-year flood, streamfl.ow veJ_ocities, and flo�d�vay .�imits, all based
on existing conditions during the study. Fl.00dway limits refer to lines
along both sic3es of a stream to which buzld�.ngs, fills, dik�s o� other
above grade develapment could be constr.ucted without significantly
increasing flood heights or veloci.ties. The stream channel and overbank
areas between the floodway limits are res�rved for the unrestricted
passage of floodflows. That inf.ormation can be used to su�port lc�cal
zoning regulations in accordance with the two-district concept advocated
by Department of Iiousing and Urban Development in their Federal Flood
Insurance Program. '
Sl�ould you have any quEStions conrerning this information, please again
