APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION Dale Richards, Winwood Homes, 12655 SW North Dakota, Tigard, OR 97223, and Greg Kurahashi, 15580 SW Jay Street, Beaverton, OR 97006, provided details on the proposed subdivision. They agreed to meet all requirements of the staff report. Matt Scheidegger reported that the placement of the development will not interfere with the proposed Walnut Street extension (Exhibit A). In response to questions from the Planning Commission, Mr. Kurahashi advised the following: > They did a substantial analysis to ensure that the wetland area won't be adversely affected by the road being constructed in the 100-year floodplain. > There will not be any less capacity in the area than what was there before. > They used the Planned Development overlay because they needed flexible setbacks to build the minimum density of 22 units. Also, they had to create an island in the road to save several trees (not a standard for roads). > The island creates a loop for a turnaround. > The 16 '/2" setback from the street does not include the 5' sidewalk. > From Barrows Road, the units will have a deck on the first floor and a window. > There will be a retaining wall along the backs of the units next to Barrows Road. ➢ The held a neighborhood meeting and did not receive any comments from neighbors. ➢ The garage on unit#16 is a tandem garage that goes underneath the unit. > The retaining wall will be from 0' to 7' high. ➢ The requested variance is to allow the road to encroach into the floodplain — no residential units will be built in the floodplain. > No street parking will be allowed in the subdivision. ➢ • In case of fire, the Fire Department will use the street from Barrows Road into the subdivision and then back out onto Barrows when they are done. They will not use the other streets. There is not enough access for fire vehicle turn around. Commissioner Meads expressed concern for people entering and exiting the subdivision. The staff report states that the posted speed along Barrows Road is 35 mph. In actuality, the speed limit is 45 in one direction and 40 in the other.
