2. Section 18.52 .020 of the Tigard Municipal Code allows a
"Public Utility" in an M-4 zone as a conditional use. _
II . FINDINGS:
1 . The applicant is requesting permission to demolish the

14650 S .W. 97th Avenue - Tigard, Oregon
DOCKET: M 2-76
REQUEST: To place a fill in the flood plain of Fanno Creek in
order to place a foundation for a City office complex.
LOCATION: 12800 S .W. Ash (Wash. Co . Tax Map 2S1 2AD, Tax Lots
2800 and 3000) .
APPLICANT: City of Tigard
I . BASIC FACTS:
1 . The site is designated "Commercial-Industrial" on the
Neighborhood Plan I and zoned M-4, Industrial Park.
2. The site is presently occupied by the inoperative Tigard
Sewage Treatment Plant and the City Public Work ' s Shops.
II . FINDINGS
1 . The western portion of the subject site (see attached map)
is in the flood plain, being below the 149.2 foot elevation.
The flood plain section of the zoning ordinance (section 18 .57)
requires Planning Commission approval of any proposed plans for
filling and construction within the flood plain .
2. Pursuant to section 18 .57.060, an analysis has been made
of this proposal by a registered professional engineer
having an expertise in hydrology and his report is attached.
3. The engineer' s report indicates that this project will
remove certain impediments to the flow of flood waters
resulting from construction of the sewage treatment plant.
Item #4 of his report states that removal of the existing
dikes around the settling ; ponds will add 1500 cubic yards
of storage capacity to the flood plain . In addition, item
#7 identifies means of providing an additional 500 cubic
yards for a total of 2,000 cubic yards . As a result ,
approximately 100 cubic yards of flood water storage capacity
will be added to the flood plain by this project . He there-
fore
concludes that the flooding characteristics of this
portion of Fanno Creek will not be adversely affected pro-
vided that certain precautionary measure are taken at the
time of construction.
4. The request is made with the understanding that the City
will provide final grading plans meeting accepted engineering
criteria if the grant request is approved. Monies to accom-
p ush this detailed engineering work are not presently
available.

randum:
A preliminary evaluation of two major floodplain problems for the proposed
City Hall site has been made. Based on limited existing and final contour
information, the site was checked for impact on the mean velocity of a
100 year flood and for any change in the floodway storage capacity. Findings
are as follows:
i
1. Floodwaters of Fanno Creek below the Main Street Bridge will have a
100 year flood elevation of 149.2 (U.S.G.S. datum) and have a flaw of 1,410
cubic feet per second.
2. The relocated channel and associated floodplain presently cause a
mean velocity for the 100-year flood of about 0.6 feet per second. This
is considerably below critical velocities for erosion of banks.
3. Relocation of Fanno Creek without filling the original channel has
created an addition to the floodplain holding capacity of approximately
500 cubic yards.
4. . By removing two feet from the existing dikes used for secondary sewage }
treatment (frau elevation 148.0 to elevation 146.0) a displacement of about r
1500 cubic yards will be added to the floodplain. p j
'd
5. To provide a fill for the proposed building line, foundation footing, sloped
embankment and final grading for landscaping, approximately 1900 cubic yards ;I
will be required.
6. Net displacement would not have any adverse effect on storage capacity
since the amount of fill is about the same as capacity added by channel
relocation and dike removal.
7. Additional contouring and landscaping of the area between the new channel H
alignment and the old Fanno Creek bed could enhance the floodway capacity
:
Removal of flow obstructions such as brush and trees would reduce backwater
effects. Removal of two feet of soil in this area would add at least 500
cubic yards of storage capacity or allow additional filling of the old
channel to improve slopes and create a uniform, overbank drainage swale.
It is concluded that the minor fill for grading and restoration of the site 4
can be adequately handled without impact on the Fanno Creek floodway. Additional ',
imported materials to fill structural excavations and other depressions after
demolition removal will have no effect if placement generally conforms to
existing ground contours. r'

APPLICANT: Tigard Planning Commission,
I . BASIC FACTS :
1 . The Tigard Community Plan, Neighborhood Plans I , II, and
III state that the city should "establish high design
standards for signing and appearance" .
II . FINDINGS
1 . The right of a business to advertise should conform with
the objectives and goals of the community. Revolving and
flashing signs do not conform with these goals.
2. According to "Street Graphics" by Ewald & Mandelker a
flashing light is "one of the strongest visual stimuli . . .
causing the eyes to swing involuntarily to focus at it . . . " i
Revolving signs also distract the driver' s attention for
the space of time it takes to read the message. As
businesses compete for sign space along Pacific Highway,
revolving and flashing signs will constitute a traffic
hazard and pose a threat to the public safety.

DOCKET: Sign Code Revisions 3-76
REQUEST: To amend section 16 .28.010 (a) changing the time limit
to give written notice from 60 days to 15 days, changing sign
removal from 30 days to 15 days, and changing notification
from registered mail to restricted certified mail .
APPLICANT: Tigard Planning Commission
I . BASIC FACTS:
1 . The existing code 16.28.010 (a) reads "the building
official shall give sixty days written notice by registered
mail to the owner of the sign. If the owner of the build-
ing, structure, or premises upon which such sign is
located fails to remove the sign within thirty days after
receipt of written notice. . . "
II . FINDINGS:
1 . The existing time limit of 60 days notice is in excess of
what can be reasonably expected. A shorter time period
would necessitate the owner attending to the matter
promptly.
2. The amount of time specified for written notice and the
amount of time specified before the City can have the
sign removed should be identical .
3. Registered mail currently costs $2.48 a letter, restricted
certified mail costs $1 .58 a letter. Restricted certified
mail serves the same purpose legally as registered mail
and would involve a savings to the taxpayer .
III . RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommendations to be advised.
