A request for review of a proposed major remodel of an

A. Site Design Review
1. Staff Report - Read by Bolen with the recommendation
that wheel blocks be depicted on the site development
plan and that landscape islands be shown at the
south end of the parking lot to define and channelize
traffic flow in that area.
2. Applicant Presentation - Henry Voderberg, the project
architect, explained the site plan with the assistance
of Mr. Overby, a representative from United Grocers.
3. Board Discussion and Action
o Cook asked Mr. Voderberg the size of the trees
intended to be planted in that no size was
specified on the landscape plan. Mr. Voderberg
stated that the trees would be 10 ft. in height.
o Cook then asked where garbage would be handled.
Mr. Overby replied that all refuse, bottle storage ,
etc. would be handled in an enclosed area ad-
jacent the loading dock on the south end of the
building.
o McMonagle asked if there had been any consideration
of possible improvement to Commercial St. at this
point. Voderberg said his client is looking for
some direction from the City on this point as
` " to what type of improvement could be done at this
8/12/75 DRB Minutes - page 2
time when the entire street is improved.
o McMonagle stated that at this time a sidewalk
could be placed adjacent the property line at
`+ the future street profile which has already
been determined by the City. This sidewalk
would provide definition for the proposed land-
scape platting beds and when the future street
improvements come, a curb section could be added
at that time.
o Hammes suggested thAt lighting be shown on the
landscape plan.
o Cook moved to approve the landscape plan with
the conditions that:
(1) A 5 ft. sidewalk section be built the
length of the Commercial St. frontage at
the profiles specified by the City public
works department in lieu of the extruded
curb shown on the site plan.
(2) That landscape islands be shown at the south
end of the parking area in order to channel-
ize traffic flow and that, in order to do
this , it be permitted that one landscape
island be deleted from the 90 degree parking
stalls.
(3) That the landscape plan specify plant types
and sizes and the trees be a minimum 10
ft. in height.
(4) That on-site lighting be designated on the
landscape plan.
o Seconded (Wakem) .
o Motion approved unanimously.
B. Architectural Design Review
o Mr. Voderberg explained the floor plans and elevations
to the Board.
o Cook asked about the materials to be used on the
building facia. Voderberg said that a corrugated
blue metal material would be used with wood trim
above and below. In addition, he added that the
building face would be of broken face concrete
blocks.
o McMonagle asked where the rain drains will be located
and would the same drainage system be used. Mr.
Voderberg said that it would be used with some
modifications.
o Olson asked what the six box-like shapes were shown
along the roof line of the north elevation of the
building. Voderberg said that this is an existing
roof sign. Each box contains a letter of the name
Girod 's.
o Cook asked staff. if this sign conformed to the
Tigard Sign Code. Bolen responded that this was a
non-conforming sign and would have to be removed by
1980, having essentially 5 years left to remain.
o Cook then asked staff if the fact that whenever a
building is remodeled by more than 50%, that all
non-conforming features must be brought into con-
formance with the Code, would require removal of this
non-conforming sign.
o Bolen replied that this question had never been put
to the City 's legal counsel, but it is possible that
this could be the case.
o Bolen asked that the store presently has one free-
standing name and reader board sign on Main St. and
this roof sign does represent a second and additional
sign.
o Cook moved to accept the design with the condition
that the non-conforming roof sign be removed.
o Seconded (Wakem) .
o Approved unanimously.
6. OTHER BUSINESS
6.1 Bob Santee, Tigard Water District, appeared with an architect
from the firm providing services to the Tualatin Rural Fire
Protection District, Mr. Dwayne Peterson.
o Chairman McMonagle welcomed Mr. Santee and Mr. Peterson
stating that he was aware the City Council had, on Mon-
day night, denied the Water District' s appeal of the
Board' s previous denial of their architectural plans
and added that he was happy to see them back to the Board
so quickly in order to resolve this issue.
o Mr. Peterson then proceeded to present the design which
he had prepared following Mr. Santee 's statement of the
needs and financial constraints of the Water District.
He added that this was the first time Mr. Santee had seen
this design, and possibly he should give his approval
before consideration were taken by the Board.
o Mr. Santee asked the Board to proceed with their con-
sideration.
o Mr. Peterson proceeded to present the design stating
that he was attempting to deal with the stated concerns
DRB Minutes - August 12, 1975 - page 3
of the Design Review Board and also the needs of the
Water District in providing additional space. His pro-
°+A posal involveda cantalevered second story which provided
the purpose of providing rain shelter for the doors and
windows of the first story and being of stud wall construct-
ion, economical to build while providing a direct service
for application of cedar siding.
o Cook said he sympathized with Mr. Peterson's problems in
attempting to redesign this rather drab building and added
that he liked the proposal being made.
o Olson, McMonagle and Hammes concurred that they found it
an attractive design.
o Cook moved to accept the proposal submitted, contingent
upon the Board seeing samples of the materials and colors
to be used prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit.
o Seconded (Wakem) .
o Unanimously approved.
