SDR 31-75
Agenda Item 5.1
Site Development Plan Review
Of a proposed commercial building to be located near 72nd
and Upper Boones Ferry Road
Staff Findings
1. Location of the proposed development is between "Connie 's
Grocery" and the Beebe Company on a vacant parcel.
2. Use of the proposed building is to be a wholesale distrubutor
of welding supplies.
3. Access and parking are adequate as shown; however, the
existing paved "turnout" in .front of the grocery will
likely be a problem due to local congestion at peak hours.
Staff feels it would be better to allow parallel parking
only and increase the number of parking spaces adjacent
the grocery store to offset the loss of parking in front.
This may require slightly redesigning the access road to
the welding supply.
4. The "compacted" gravel area to the rear of the side ought
to be paved if it is to receive frequent use. If its use
is for temporary or infrequent parking or materials
handling or maneuvering, it could very economically be
seeded to turf grasses on top of compacted gravel. Tigard
code will not allow a gravel parking area.
5. Curbs for wheel blocks at the front of parking stalls and
to retain landscape materials adjacent driveway and parking
areas are strongly recommended.
6. No catchment basins or :other storm drainage provisions are
whown on the plan, nor is topography or final grading.
7. The landscape plan, as submitted, shows a total of 21 plant
types. Staff would strongly recommend that a single dominant
theme be selected using not more than 4-5 plants with not more
than 3 or 4 "feature" or "speciman" plants as accents. This
approach would be a great deal less confusing, more pleasing
and less costly.
8. Area to the rear of the existing grocery store need not be
landscaped in this project as there is an intervening property
line; however, staff would point out that it should be cleaned
up and maintained free of noxious vegetation and other nuisances.
Staff Recommendation
Approval, with appropriate conditions as follow from staff findings.
