3. COMMISSION COMMUNICATION
o There was no Commission communication.
4. PUBLIC HEARING
o President Tepedino opened the Public Hearings by reading the usual
statement of authority for the procedure to be followed in the
meeting.
4.1 CPA 9-82 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REPORT: PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES
o Associate Planner Coursolle explained that each Commissioner should
have received a revised copy dated December 1982, which excludes data
for the water district. Staff did distributed a copy of "WATER
SERVICE", which they had received from the water district. Associate
Planner Coursolle then reviewed the document with the Commission
noting that the Fire District had submitted information which had
been incorporated into the document.
o President Tepedino stated for the record that he appreciated the hard
work that staff has done. We all recognize that the plan that is
being proposed is not complete, but we all need a plan. Compromise
is important, as everyone can't have everything they want in the
plan. However, there is a way to correct and modify the plan through
the process. What is important is to develop a Comprehensive Plan
which can be put into place.
NPO COMMENTS
o John Butler, NPO # 1 Chairperson, thought this was a good document.
He asked that on page 4. number three, the second sentence beginning
with "The City shall. ...", be clarified. Also, 7.4.2 on page 16,
the words "demonstrated to have failing septic systems shall be
required to connect to public sewer lines.' When they say
demonstrated is there a percentage they are referring to, in the
state statute?
o Bob Bledsoe, NPO # 3 representative, felt that the NPO's
recommendation for Policy 7.1.1 would be an improvement over
staff's. In 7.1.2, NPO # 3 presents an option which is contrary to
staff's. They felt there should be alternative method, other than
sewer or septic services, which do not present health hazards,
In part D, they suggested a general provision which applies to all
facilties and services, "that the addition of new development should
not adversely affect existing facilities and services".
They have also suggested Policy 7.1.3, The City shall discourage
annexations which create irregular boundaries.
Under storm drainage, they added the condition that the City should
adopt and implement a master storm drainage plan.
Another concern was the requirement that the City would only allow
development to occur if connected to public sewer. They felt if
another alternative is found it should be allowed if it did not cause
a health or safety hazard.
Mr. Bledsoe continued reviewing item per item various changes NPO # 3
recommended.
o Geraldine L. Ball, DJB Inc. , read and submitted into the records a
letter requesting that language be added to the Public Facilities and
Services document which would protect property owners from someone
else dumping water on their property.
o President Tepedino requested that staff work with Mrs. Ball to
investigate what is involved with the problem
o J B Bishop, Tigard property owners, commented that he has similar
problem with some of his property and would like to know if there are
any ordinances or state statutes which would help with this problem.
o Commissioner Edin added that Creekside Park is another example of
this type of problem. Discussion followed regarding the drainage
issue.
o J B continued questioning several different items in the document.
Staff responded to questions. Lengthy discussion.
o Gloria Johnson, 9300 S.W. Hill Street, questioned what their
responsibilities are in relation to adjacent property needing sewer
service. Would they need to participate in a LID even if they are
already hook up to public sewers? (staff requested she consult with
Frank Currie.)
STAFF RESPONSE TO PUBLIC INPUT
o Implementation strategy number three on page four, proper wording
should be "The City shall adopt an ordinance providing for partial
reimbursement as intervening parcels are developed". (staff has to
work on wording)
PLANNING COMMISSIONER MINUTES December 11, 1982 Page 2
o Associate Planner Coursolle reviewed NPO # 3 comments, responding to
questions raised. He added that there is a storm drainage master
plan which has a price tag of four million dollars.
o Lengthy discussion followed on septic tanks, failure of septic tanks,
areas of concern which would require hookup to public sewers. Who
makes the determination, and under what authority.
o Commissioner Moen felt we should get a conscensus of the
Commissioners. His feelings were that the densities that will be
required will preclude an adequate septic system. The sewer systems,
at the present time, is the most practical. As a safety factor, the
septic system is the responsibility of the property owner, with the
sewer system it becomes the City's responsiblity. There are the
isolated instances, which maybe should be address. But for the most
part he favored item 7.4.4.
o President Tepdino asked if staff could look at this policy to see if
they could allow for an extreme situation, and perhaps develop some
criteria which would allow for areas where sewer is not available.
(Discussion followed on how to proceed.)
o Commissioners Moen and Owen supported wording of item 7.4.4.
Commissioner Speaker, favored it as is, but does recognize JB's point
that there is a low use sanitary sewage use that could be handled by
some other means, which should receive the blessing of the Public
Works Director.
o Commissioner Edin favored having an exception and not only just
limited to commercial and industrial. He gave an example of a
church. He felt if there were some criteria to follow this might
work.
o President Tepedino, supported the languange as it is, and is
sensitive to the fact that there might be unusal circumstance that
might occur. However, he did not want the wording to change or
detract from the policy.
o Further discussion followed.
o Commissioner Moen moved and Commissioner Owen seconded to adopt
policy 7.4.4 as worded by staff.
Motion carried by a majority vote of Commissioners present.
Commissioner. Edin voting No.
o Discussion of policy number 7.4.7. followed.
o Commissioner Moen moved and Commissioner Speaker seconded for the
Commmi,ssion to disagree with policy 7.4.7 as recommended by staff and
suggested by NPO 3.
Motion carried unanimously by Commissioners present.
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES December 11, 1982 Page 3
o Commissioner Moen noted that on page 19, item 2 at the bottom of the
page, says "fire protection" and should be "police", same error is
also on page 20.
o Item 7.6.1 - Fire Service, and 7.7.1, staff did not feel that
anything was said that was different from staff's recommendation.
o Policy 7.7.1, Implementation Strategy # 2, in response to JB's input,
staff felt item 2 could be restated to say, "The Community
Development Code shall provide for the review of such facilities
through the conditional development process".
o Commissioner Moen commented on POLICY 7.8.2. Realignment of school
boundaries. He related the problems that it has created being in the
City of Tigard, but having children go to The Beaverton School
District. He feels this creates a disjointed community and that he
would perfer seeing the boundaries realigned. He felt this issue
should be addressed in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
o Discussion followed and it was the consensus of the Commission that
there should be a finding and a policy regarding this issue.
o POLICY 7.9.1, 7.10.1 and 7.11.1, staff did not feel anything
different was said from what was already in the policies. POLICY
7.12.1, the suggestion of the NPO is incorporated in POLICY 7.12.2.
Staff modified POLICY 7.12.2 as follows: THE CITY SHALL PROVIDE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ESTABLISH A PERMANENT, FULL-LINE RECYCLING CENTER
THROUGH THE PROVISIONS OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE.
o Discussion regarding Findings on page two. Staff asked if NPO # 3
would be satisfied if staff would change the word from "ability" to
"duty" and add "within their financial ability" to finding number
five. Mr. Bledsoe stated that would be satisfactory.
o Finding on page 15, finding number two after the comma, add the
network of trunk sewer lines. . .
o Findings number three, four and five, on page 15 were discussed.
o Commisioner Speaker moved and Commission Moen seconded that findings
three, four and five on page 15, stand as is with the deletion of the
word "many" in the 3rd finding and replacement of the word will with
"may" in the fifth finding.
Commissioner Speaker modified the motion to eliminate the last
sentence in finding number five and replace the words "are likely to
fail" with "may fail". Chairman Tepedino seconded the modification.
Motion carried unanimously by those Commissioners present
o Finding number three on page 27 was discussed and recognized as a
problem.
o POLICY 7.2.3, staff added 4. That the applicable ordinance dealing
with the contruction of sewer lines shall provide:
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES December 11, 1982 Page 4
a. The sewer be installed from property to property line,
except;
b. An ordinance will also provide for the staging of the
construction of the sewer line on a portion of the property
in accordance with certain standards contained within the
ordinance. (discussion followed)
o Discussion of item number three on page four, (Staff will clean
up the language. )
o Commissioner Moen requested that staff update the school map on
page 28.
o Mrs. Ball questioned if the open space park portion of the
Public Facilities and Services document had been eliminated;
staff concurred that it had been eliminated.
o Commissioner Owens °- Implementation Strategies number 1.. page 16
the last sentence. The Commission requested that staff clean up
the language.
o Commissioner Owens - Felt that the Implementation Strategies
numbers 4 and 5 were conflicting. Legal Counsel suggested

MEMORANDUM
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Department of Planning and Development
SUBJECT: Revisions to Fire District section of PUBLIC FACILITIES
AND SERVICES
Since the time the original data were collected, for the PUBLIC
FACILITIES AND SERVICES Comprehensive Plan Report the Fire Districts
have initiated plans to relocate and add facilities. In addition,
the Tualatin Rural Fire District and Washington, County Fire District
# 1 have also formulated plans to consolidate some of their services.
Therefore,. a change to page 24 of the PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES
Report . should be made. It reads as follows:
"At this time, the TRFPD has initiated plans to build or relocate
stations or equipment or personnel in the Tigard Urban Planning Area. "
Omit second sentence of second paragraph, page 24 , then add new
language: "In addition, the TRFPD and Washington County Fire Protection
District # 1 is considering plans for the functional consolidation of
some of their services.

IV. WATER SERVICE
The Tigard Plan Area is presently served by two (2) water service districts:
Tigard Water District (80%) and Metzger Water District (20%). Tigard Water
District serves the area, generally, southwest of State Highway #217, while
Metzger serves the area northeast of this highway.
While no major problems exist with this division of public services,
difficulties have arisen, in the past, with coordination and jurisdictional
disputes. For this reason, the City will take a more active role in
coordinating and communicating with both water districts and will continue
studying the feasibility of assuming part of full ownership of the water
system. Development of adequate water supply sources and distribution systems
is a vital necessity in a fast-growing urbanizing area such as the City of
Tigard. Because installation of waterlines and construction of wells and
reservoirs are major capital improvements, it is very important that those
facilities be designed to meet both the consumption and fireflow requirements
of the current as well as anticipated population. A water service provider
must be aware of population growth trends and of changing land use patterns
and planned densities in its respective service area.
FINDINGS
o Both Tigard and Metzger Water Districts have made substantial capital
improvements in recent years to provide the highest quality water at the
most reasonable rates.
o Reliable and adequate water supply, storage, and delivery systems are
presently available or planned to provide sufficient quantities of high
quality water to meet existing and future needs of the community.
o The Metzger Water District has signed a 25-year water purchase contract
for 100% of it's water. With the Tigard Water District entering into long
term contracts with the City of Portland and the City of Lake Oswego
citizens of Tigard can be assured of a long-term supply of high quality
water.
POLICIES
7.3.1 THE CITY OF TIGARD SHALL COORDINATE WITH TIGARD WATER DISTRICT AND
METZGER WATER DISTRICT TO PROVIDE A HIGH STANDARD OF WATER SERVICE TO
MEET FUTURE DEMANDS AT ALL TIMES.
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES
1. The City of Tigard shall take an active role in participating with
Tigard and Metzger Water Districts in making its views known on
matters pertaining to water rates, tax rates, annexations, capital
improvements, budgets, etc.
2. When negotiating long-term water supply contracts, the City shall
coordinate with the water districts in seeking rates and schedules
that are equitable to all water users within the City.
-8-
3. If it appears in the best interests of the citizens to consolidate the
water district and City operations, it shall be accomplished in an
orderly manner with full and detailed consultation with the water
districts involved.
}
4. The City of Tigard shall coordinate with the water districts, through
an capital improvements program to assure adequate water service for
future urban development.
5. The Tigard Community Development Code shall require of developers the
burden of proof for providing adequate water service prior to the
approval and issuance of any development permits.
General
Water systems consist of three (3) parts, namely: storage, distribution, and
source of supply. Of these, storage and distribution can be handled within
local jurisdictions without difficulty. User fees, meter installation charges
and, occasionally, tax subsidies, provide sufficient funds to maintain and
upgrade the system.
The prime problem is source of supply. Washington County is not blessed with
sufficient fresh water sources within its boundaries to provide water to its
citizens for either the short or long term. Therefore, water must be imported
to meet the ever-increasing population. Because water must be transported
vast distances via large transmission mains, including expensive wholesale
water rates and pumping charges, the unit cost of water will, generally, be
higher than in other parts of the Portland metropolitan area.
During the late 1960's and early 1970's, extensive .water plans were prepared
to resolve the problem of chronic water shortages in the summer time. By the
late 1970's and early 1980's, more of these plans had been implemented or were
in the process of being implemented.
Sources of Water Supply
Following is a list of viable sources of water which are available to the
Tigard area:
a. Bull Run River (City of Portland)
b. Clackamas River (City of Lake Oswego)
c. Groundwater (Wells)
d. Willamette River (Ranney wells)
Bull Run Water
Portland water, which is obtained from the protected area of Bull Run
watershed near Mount Hood, is of high quality, requiring only chlorination
prior to distribution. The City of Portland owns and operates a dam and
reservoirs on the Bull Run River from which a majority (70%) of Portland
-9- •
metropolitan area residents receive water. The City is also developing a
100--MGD (million gallons per day) source of supply from groundwater aquifers
near Blue Lake. This will be a back-up or emergency supply to the Bull Run
system.
The capability of the Bull Run system is almost unlimited to serve the
projected demands of the Portland metropolitan area Limitations include the
need to improve the capability to transmit more water from the Bull Run
reservoirs, now rated at 225-MGD, via three (3) conduits, the last of which
was completed in 1953.
Major improvements during the last few years include construction of a 50-MG
reservoir located at Powell Butte in east Portland. Of major importance to
Washington County was the agreement between Portland and several water
districts and cities in east Washington County to construct a 60-inch gravity
main from Powell Butte to Raleigh Hills. Entities participating in this
project are Wolf Creek Highway, Metzger, and Raleigh Water Districts and the
City of Tualatin. When this transmission main is completed in 1983, ample
water will be available well into the next century.
Clackamas River Water
Water from the Clackamas River, via the City of Lake Oswego, presently
supplies Tigard Water District with about eighty percent (80%) of its annual
requirements. Tigard Water District presently supplies the City of Tualatin
with all of its water needs which amounts to about thirty percent (30%) of the
total water consumed by Tigard Water District. When Tualatin completes its
direct connection to the City of Portland in mid-1983, Lake Oswego will be
capable of supplying Tigard Water District with all of its needs until about
1990.
The availability of the Clackamas River for water supply is restricted by
competing uses of the watershed, specifically: fisheries, recreation,
electrical power, and water supply. The Clackamas River is considered
valuable as a habitat for spawning anadromous fish. The Water Resources
Division of the State of Oregon, therefore, has established minimum flow
requirements to protect this resource. These minimum flow requirements are
presently violated with a recurrence interval of about once in seven (7)
years, based on a three-day average low flow. Further complicating the matter
is the fact that existing water rights for water supply and several rights far
exceed the projected needs of the holders. These conflicting demands on the
Clackamas River flow limit the use of this source of water for the long-range
time period.
Lake Oswego recently completed expansion of its treatment plant facilities
from 10 to 16 MGD, thereby making ample surplus water available to Tigard
Water District, at least for the immediate future.
Groundwater
Prior to 1973, Tigard Water District relied solely upon four (4) deep wells as
its primary source of water supply. Unfortunately, large withdrawals from the
Columbia River basalt aquifer led to rapidly declining water levels in Cooper
Mountain - Bull Mountain area.
-10-
I
I
In 1974, the state engineer declared this area a critical groundwater area and
placed severe limitations on future pumping. This declaration affected
Tigard's reliance upon this source of water. When direct connections (16-inch
pipelines) were made to both Lake Oswego and Portland, all deep wells were
placed in a "stand-by" status and are used only during peak demand periods.
1-MGD can be pumped from these wells.
Willamette River (Ranney wells)
An interesting concept is a proposal to utilize Ranney wells to extract water
near the Willamette River, south of Newberg. Ranney wells are used by the
Cities of Gladstone and St. Helens with excellent results. Detailed
hydrogeological tests conducted by Ranney Method Western Corporation of
Kennewick, Washington in 1980 revealed that the water in this area, being
naturally filtered, would be of excellent quality.
This proposal will be given a thorough review in the years ahead. Although
expensive, it would provide an independent source of water, a goal long-sought
by the Tigard Water District.
Tigard Water District
Serving an urbanizing area of about 22,500 persons in southeast Washington
County, the Tigard Water District provides water to the Cities of Tigard (80%)
and King City, as well as some incorporated areas inside the Urban Growth
Boundary on Bull Mountain. Since May 1980, the district has also served the
City of Tualatin with wholesale water. This will continue until Tualatin
establishes its direct connection to the Portland system in 1983.
Sources of Water, Tigard Water District
Sources of water include the Clackamas River (City of Lake Oswego), Bull Run,
(City of Portland), and district-owned deep wells. Tigard Water District is
the only water purveyor in the county with a multi-source supply system from
three (3) independent sources. This district is, also, capable of receiving
water from the City of Beaverton in cases of emergency. Beaverton, recently,
became a part-owner in the Hillsboro - Forest Grove Utility Commission which
obtains its water from the Upper Tualatin - Trask River complex.
Percentages of amounts of each type of water consumed over the past six (6)
years are shown as follows:
Fiscal
Year Well Lake Oswego Portland
1976-77 33% 65% 2%
1977-78 20% 71% 9%
1978-79 22% 62% 16%
1979-80 24% 47% 29%
1980-81 14% 60% 26%
1981-82 7% 81% 12%
-11-
Total water consumption for the past six (6) years is shown below:
Fiscal Cubic % increase
Year Feet MGD or decrease
1976-77 101,302,200 2.08 + 5.3%
1977-78 105,429,500 2.17 + 4.1%
1978-79 111,946,000 2.30 + 6.2%
+7.1% ay.
1979-80 123,843,900 2.54 +10.6%
1980-81 124,846,700 2.57 + 0.8%
1981-82 144,064,700 2.96 +15.4%
Projections for water consumption in the future are as follows:
MGD 1985 1990 1995 2000
Average Daily Demand 3.2 3.6 3.9 4.2
Peak Day Demand 8.0 9.0 9.8 10.5
Regarding an assured future water supply, the district: has five (5) years
remaining on a 10-year contract with the City of Portland. It appears that a
new 25-year agreement will be executed by both parties within a very short
time.
Lake Oswego has been providing water to the district since 1973. A long-term
contact is presently being negotiated and Lake Oswego has given assurances
that it will supply the district to the best of its ability for as long as
possible. it is envisioned that there will always- be sufficient water from
this source for at least nine (9) months of the year. After 1990, it is
projected that Clackamas River water will continue to be the district's
primary source of supply, but the total quantity provided will decrease in
successive years thereafter. At that time, more Bull Run water will be
required to meet peak demand periods.
Distribution System, Tigard Water District
During the 1970's the district completed upgrading the distribution system by
installation of new cast and ductile iron pipelines, all appropriately sized,
and completed circulation loops. As a result, excellent pressures and flows
exist throughout the system and water losses have been reduced, significantly,
from 30% in 1970 to less than 5% the past four (4) years.
Such capital improvements have increased fire flows which were instrumental in
obtaining a Class 3 fire insurance rating for Tualatin Rural Fire Protection
District. The water system accounts for 39% of this rating.
Storage Capacity, Tigard Water District
In accordance with State Health Division requirements, a water purveyor should
have, on hand, three (3) days average consumption. In year 2000, the average
daily demand is projected to be 4.2-MGD. Therefore, 12.6-MG (3 x 4.2) of
storage should be available.
-12-
4
With the recent completion of a 2.5-MG reservoir, located at S.W. 135th and
Fern Street, the district has 20-MG's of storage on hand, well above the
requirements of the health division.
It is noted that this additional storage capacity provides a backup supply of
water during peak demand periods.
It is envisioned that no additional storage will be required prior to year
2000.
Metzger Water District
Currently, Metzger Water District which provides water service to about twenty
percent (20X) of the City of Tigard serves a total area with an estimated
population of 18,500 in a still-developing portion of east Washington County.
By the year 2000, the district expects to be serving a population of 25,000
with' an estimated annual average demand of 3.0-MGD.
The district's 1979 Water System Study (CH2M Hill) reports that to meet year
2000 needs, Metzger will have to add 4-MG's to its existing 4.7-MG's of
storage capacity. The study also includes a recommended capital improvements
program which is being used as a guide in scheduling its activities.
Metzger's existing distribution system is termed "reliable" in the 1979
study. However, there is an ongoing program to replace all substandard
asbestos cement and steel pipelines with ductile iron pipe. The largest lines
will be installed in the southern part of the district in order to provide
better service to customers in the vicinity of the City of Tigard.
Metzger's primary, and only, source of water supply continues to be the city
of Portland (Bull Run), with which the district signed a 25-year contract in
1980.
To meet the long-range goals established in the water study, Metzger approved
the issuance of General Obligation bonds totaling $4.75 million in 1980.
These funds will accomplish all necessary capital improvements to meet the
water demands until year, 2000, and perhaps beyond.
Under construction at the present time are two (2) steel tanks with a total
capacity of 4-MG's. A vigorous pipe replacement program is in progress which
will upgrade the distribution, system. Probably the highest expenditure of
funds will go toward funding a pro-rata share of construction of a 60-inch
gravity main across the City of Portland. This will assure Metzger of a
long-range source of water and, at the same time, be afforded the opportunity
to purchase Bull Run water at a substantially reduced unit cost from Powell
Butte.

3. COMMISSION COMMUNICATION
o There was no Commission communication.
4. PUBLIC HEARING
o President Tepedino opened the Public Hearings by reading the usual
statement of authority for the procedure to be followed in the
meeting.
4.1 CPA 9-82 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REPORT: PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES
o Associate Planner Coursolle explained that each Commissioner should
have received a revised copy dated December 1982, which excludes data
for the water district. Staff did distributed a copy of "WATER
SERVICE", which they had received from the water district. Associate
Planner Coursolle then reviewed the document with the Commission
noting that the Fire District had submitted information which had
been incorporated into the document.
o President Tepedino stated for the record that he appreciated the hard
work that staff has done. We all recognize that the plan that is
being proposed is not complete, but we all need a plan. Compromise
is important, as everyone can't have everything they want in the
plan. However, there is a way to correct and modify the plan through
the process. What is important is to develop a Comprehensive Plan
which can be put into place.
NPO COMMENTS
o John Butler, NPO # 1 Chairperson, thought this was a good document.
He asked that on page 4 number three, the second sentence beginning
with "The City shall. . ..", be clarified. Also, 7.4.2 on page 16,
the words "demonstrated to have failing septic systems shall be
required to connect to public sewer lines." When they say
demonstrated is there a percentage they are referring to, in the
state statute?
4, "� 1
o Bob Bledsoe, NPO # 3 representative, felt that the NPO's
recommendation for Policy 7.1.1 would be an improvement over
staff's. In 7.1.2, NPO # 3 presents an option which is contrary to
staff's. They felt there should be alternative method, other than
sewer or septic services, which do not present health hazards,
In part D, they suggested a general provision which applies to all
facilties and services, "that the addition of new development should
not adversely affect existing facilities and services".
They have also suggested Policy 7.1.3, The City shall discourage
anneoxations which create irregular boundaries.
Under storm drainage, they added the condition that the City should
adopt and implement a master storm drainage plan.
Another concern was the requirement that the City would only allow
development to occur if connected to public sewer. They felt if
another alternative is found it should be . slowed if it did not cause
a health or safety hazard.
Mr. Bledsoe continued reviewing item per item various changes NPO # 3
recommended.
o Geraldine L. Ball, DJB Inc. , read and submitted into the records a
letter requesting that language be added to the Public Facilities and
Services document which would protect property owners from someone
else dumping water on their property.
o President Tepedino requested that staff work with Mrs. Ball to
investigate what is involved with the problem
_ o J B Bishop, Tigard property owners, commented that he has similar
problem with some of his property and would like„to know if there are
any ordinances or state statutes which would help with this problem.
• o Commissioner Edin added that Creekside Park is another example of
this type of problem. Discussion followed regarding the drainage
issue.
o J B continued questioning several different items in the document.
Staff responded to questions. Lengthy discussion.
o Gloria Johnson, 9300 S.W. Hill Street, questioned what their
responsibilities are in relation to adjacent property needing sewer
service. Would they need to participate in a LID even if they are
already hook up to public sewers? (staff requested she consult with
Frank Currie.)
STAFF RESPONSE TO PUBLIC INPUT
o Implementation strategy number three on page four, proper wording
should be "The City shall adopt an ordinance providing for partial
reimbursement as intervening parcels are developed". (staff has to
work on wording)

• o Associate Planner Coursolle reviewed NPO # 3 comments, responding to
questions raised. He added that there is a storm drainage master
plan which has a price tag of four million dollars.
o Lengthy discussion followed on septic tanks, failure of septic tanks,
areas of concern which would require hookup to public sewers. Who
makes the determination, and under what authority.
o Commissioner Moen felt we should get a conscensus of the
Commissioners. His feelings were that the densities that will be -
required will preclude an adequate septic system. The sewer systems,
at the present time, is the most practical. As a safety factor, the
septic system is the responsibility of the property owner, with the
sewer system it becomes the City's responsiblity. There are the
isol#ited instances, which maybe should be address. But for the most
part he favored item 7.4.4.
o President Tepdino asked if staff could look at this policy to see if
they could allow for an extreme situation, and perhaps develop some
criteria which would allow for areas where sewer is not available.
(Discussion followed on how to proceed. )
o Commissioners Moen and Owen supported wording of item 7.4.4.
Commissioner Speaker, favored it as is, but does recognize JB's point
that there is a low use sanitary sewage use that could be handled by
some other means, which should receive the blessing of the Public
Works Director.
" I
o Commissioner Edin favored having an exception and not only just
•
limited to commercial and industrial. He gave an example of a
church. He felt if there were some criteria to follow this might
•
work.
o President Tepedino, supported the languange as it is, and is
sensitive to the fact that there might be unusal circumstance that
might occur. However, he did not want the wording to change or
detract from the policy.
o Further discussion followed.
O. o Commissioner Moen moved and Commissioner Owen seconded to adopt
policy 7.4.4 as worded by staff.
Motion carried by a majority vote of Commissioners present.
Commissioner Edin voting No.
.J y
o Discussion of policy number 7.4.7. followed.
LU
o Commissioner Moen moved and Commissioner Speaker seconded for the
• Commmission to disagree with policy 7.4.7 as recommended by staff and
suggested by NPO # 3.
Motion carried unanimously by Commissioners present.

o Commissioner Moen noted that on page 19, item 2 at the bottom of the
page, says "fire protection" and should be "police", same error is
also on page 20.
o Item 7.6.1 - Fire Service, and 7.7.1, staff did not feel that
anything was said that was different from staff's recommendation.
a Policy 7.7.1, Implementation Strategy # 2, in response to IB's input,
staff felt item 2 could be restated to say, "The Community
Development Code shall provide for the review of such facilities
through the conditional development process".
o Commissioner Moen commented on POLICY 7.8.2. Realignment of school
boundaries. He related the problems that it has created being in the
City of Tigard, but having children go to The Beaverton School
District. He feels this creates a disjointed community and that he
would perfer seeing thie boundaries realigned. He felt this issue
should be addressed in the City's Comprehensive Plan.
o Discussion followed and it was the consensus of the Commission that
there should be a finding and a policy regarding this issue.
a POLICY 7.9.1, 7.10.1 and 7.11.1, staff did not feel anything
different was said from what was already in the policies. POLICY
7.12.1, the suggestion of the NPO is incorporated in POLICY 7.12.2.
Staff modified POLICY 7.12.2 as follows: THE CITY SHALL PROVIDE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ESTABLISH A PERMANENT, FULL-LINE RECYCLING CENTER
THROUGH THE PROVISIONS OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE.
o Discussion regarding Findings on page two. Staff asked if NPO # 3
would be satisfied if staff would change the word from "ability" to
"duty" and add "within their financial ability" to finding number
five. Mr. Bledsoe stated that would be satisfactory.
o Finding on page 15, finding number two after the comma, add the
network of trunk sewer lines. . .
o Findings number three, four and five, on page 15 were discussed.
o Commisioner Speaker moved and Commission Moen seconded that findings
three, four and five on page 15, stand as is with the deletion of the
word "many" in the 3rd finding and replacement off the word will with
"may" in the fifth finding.
Commissioner Speaker modified the motion to eliminate the last
sentence in finding number five and replace the words "are likely to
fail" with "may fail". Chairman Tepedino seconded the modification.
Motion carried unanimously by those Commissioners present
o Finding number three on page 27 was discussed and recognized as a
problem.
o POLICY 7.2.3, staff added 4. That the applicable ordinance dealing

the last sentence. The Commission requested that staff clean up
