Bernar6io STAFF/QUESTS: Bill Monahan Randy Clarno Iry Larson Geraldine Ball Jeanne Caswell' Tigard Chamber Chairman Clark called the meeting to order at 7,39 A.M. A quorum was not preoent. Minutes of the January 19, 1.985 meeting were reviewed and approved as submitted with one correction. Bruce initiated a discussion on the need to designate specific activities for the Committee to be engaged in during 1985. Amo had suggested that the Committee choose a project which it can accomplish during the year. Gill ran through the progress of the Committee to (late in addressing the work program of the action plan. Bruce suggested that staff bring resource informatiwn, such as land use maps, zoning maps, etc. to the Committee no that the Committee may become more familiar with the needs of the target areas. The Committee may wish to determine what in the community' s opinion can and should occur in terms of economic development. Tony suggested that the Committee may wish to contact major property owners to find out what they intend to do with their land; do they have interest in working with the Committee, and what can the Committee do to help. The resource leads may be able to assist in contacting property owners. The Committee than discussed the four target areas and the resources which are available to properly evaluate them. After much discussion, the Committee chose to concentrate initially on the central business district. The reasons for the selection were the existence of an urban renewal plan adopted there years ago (since repealed by the voters), and interest expressed by property owners to review the zoning and land use designations in the area. Other reasons for the selections are: Good background data exists, ueveral resource leads have been identified in the area, and the area needs some attention as positive changes are not taking place. At the next meeting' Bill will present the oentral business plan no that the Committee can evaluate whether the plan conforms with the Committee' s ideas about economic development. At a follow--up meeting, the Committee will invite property owners to give their input. ^ Randy Clarno' Engineering Division Supervisor, then discussed the the City's plan to develop a geographic information system, which will maintain land information which is now difficult to access for developers. The City's Master Computer plan will be completed shortly which will allow the City to choose at system for purchase or lease with a summer delivery date. Randy indicated that he would prefer to utilize a pilot area to test the system. Jeanne Caswell discussed Gov. Atiyeh' o proponal to use potential lottery revenueu. His proposal would dedicate 1% of the funds to Chambers of Commerce for economic development purposes. A pool would be developed which would be distributed to successful grant applicants. It could be in place by January 1, 198V Tigard'o Committee could put together a cooperative application with the Chamber. There were no developer applications. Bill gave an overview of the present development activities and discussed the final 1984 list of commercial and industrial projects. The next meeting of the Committee will be held on Tuesday, March 26' 1085, at 7:30 A.M. at Pioneer Pies. The meeting will be one week later than usual. (WAM:6r/1035P) March 10' 1985 Dear : The Tigard Economic Development Committee has decided to take a look at the Central Business District (CBD) to determine what role, if any, the Committee can play in its economic renuwal. Initially, the Committee will review the urban renwal plan which was prepared in 1981 for the TURA (Tigard Urban Renewal Agency) and become familiar with the problems of the area. The Committee is concerned that the downtown area is not undergoing the same level of economic recovery which is occurring in other sections of the City . After the introductory discussion on the CBD is held on Tuesday, March 26, 1985, at 7:30 A.M. at Pioneer Pies, I expect that the Committee will spend several months evaluating the following: 1. Public improvement needs 2. Traffic flow 2 . Parking availability 4. Development standards required by the City 5. Zoning and allowed land uses If you would like to attend the meeting on March 26, please notify Billie Rawlings of my offico at 639-4171' Ext. 22. Your input as a concerned property owner and business person in the downtown area is welcomed and encouraged. Sincerely, William A.

Please take these comments into consideration when making a recommendation for rezoning the downtown Tigard area . Thank you. Robert E. Santee ---- cc: Bill Monahan Bill McMonagle TIGARD WATER DISTRICT 8841 S. W. COMMERCIAL TIG.ARD, OREGON D72M ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT (Continued) 11. Zoning of Air-King Site . Several months ago the board placed the matter of zoning for construction of a new Operations Center on the "back-burner" because there was . no urgency. The district will not be in a financial position to construct the new center until July 1, 1989 , four (A) years from now. Now comes an article in THE OREGONIAN, dated March 5, 1985, copy of which is enclosed, pertaining to this zoning. It appears that Councilman Tom Brian (City of Tigard) has made a sensible judgment on the matter. On the other hand, the beliefs of other individuals are surprising. One has to accept the area as it is and what has been approved (by the city) in the past, along S . W. Burnham Street. One has to wonder if those attempting to make recommendations have ever driven down that street and observed what is there. First of all, the northerly boundaries of each lot (on the north) abut a double set of railroad tracks . How does one improve that situation? There is no solution to the noise and poor appearance of the railroad tracks . An unkept berm exists between the tracks . How does one beautify a boxcar, camped for extended periods of time on a railroad siding? One must accept the fact that the railroad tracks running through the center of town detract from the entire downtown area. What can be done about it? Nothing. One has to wonder if anyone, in authority, has ever looked behind the existing buildings along Burnham Street. A cursory examination this date revealed the following: a. Famili.an Northwest: Outside storage of about 500 fiber- glass shower stalls and bathtubs, plus tons of PVC pipe . (The appearance is horrendous) . b. Stevens Marine: Outside storage of pleasure boats, all crammed together. c . Modern Plumbing: Outside storage of PVC pipe and bath- tubs . Large area is used as a dump for used hot water tanks . Fiberglass insulation is all over . (A disgrace- ful scene) . -7- ADMINISTRATOR' S REPORT (Continued) d. H & A Construction: Outside storage of lumber and plywood, apparently left-over from many construction projects. e. City of Tigard Public Works: Mass outside parking. for vehicles and equipment. Outside storage of PVC pipe, concrete manholes, etc . f. General Telephone: Outside storage of reels of cable, telephone poles, PVC pipe, with carport for vehicles. (Everything very neat and in its place) . The idea and belief that this area will eventually consist of beautiful hi-tech, professional offices and buildings is un- realistic and illogical. Presently, there are small shops and offices for plumbing, electrical, automotive, etc . , along with a liquor store and a garage storage area . Probably the most beautiful building in the downtown area is the General Telephone structure (even with outside storage in the rear) . Our concept to what downtown Tigard should look like in the future is, perhaps, vastly different than envisioned by others . And, after all, any citizen is entitled to his or her viewpoint on this matter, not just the elected or appointed officials. Tigard needs identity. The new Civic Center, supported and approved by the citizens at the polls, is an excellent beginning. We will have a new city hall, library, and police station. Finally, the city will have someplace to call "home" . Upon considering the purchase of the Air-King site for the future headquarters for TWD, former editor Richard Nokes (on the budget committee) wrote the following: (excerpts) (.April 2, 1984) "I am intrigued by the recommendation that the water district establish its headquarters on the Air-King site. This, coupled with the city hall - library - police station move to an adjacent tract, would effectively move "downtown" Tigard from Tigard to what we used to know as Treece. That used to be the name of the flagstop at that point on the old Oregon Electric Line when I was a tad . -8- ADMINISTRATOR' S REPORT (Continued) It would be the second move of "downtown Tigard" in its history. The original town was Ti.gardville and centered roughly on McDonald and Pacific Highway. With the advent of the railroads, the Tigard center shifted north to the vicinity of the Tigard Feed Store . I note that you are requesting a recommendation from our (:budget) committee to budget $50, 000 for down payment on the site . I applaud this site for future use of the water district. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . " A birdeye perspective of the proposed Operations Center has been shown before and copies are enclosed. Large prints of this facility are posted in the administrative office . We have heard many, many compliments from the public on the proposed design and location of this facility. There have been no adverse comments . Not only is the Air-King site ideal for the water district to perform its primary function but its location takes in a broader scope in that it will become a component part of the larger civic center area. The location is in close proximity to the new civic center . A future office building (as noted on the drawing) could possibly be a justice court. (city hall annex?) This centralized, one-stop arrangement of public facilities has been the dream of most municipal planners. We believe it to be a logical, realistic dream, and attainable . From the beginning I envisioned a more extensive development of the civic center area. Between city hall and the water dis- trict I visualized a beautifully landscaped area (with trees and water fountains) and covered passageways . On several occasions I have expressed my disappointment to the city staff (Bill Monahan) that the city allowed the former owner of the property, Mr. Sturgis, to retain one acre of choice land which was a por- tion of the original tract purchased by the city. At some future date the city could have condemned and purchased the land where Tigard Electric and the single family dwelling (on the corner) are located. This would have provided the open space to give the whole civic center area the "college campus" appearance and atmosphere. -9- ADMINISTRATOR' S REPORT (Continued) The fact that the water district desires to store pipe and fittings outside is not a valid reason for not building the facility there. Those items can easily be camouflaged with attractive fencing and arborvitae trees. The storage area would be behind the building, adjacent to the railroad tracks, not visible from Burnham Street . Lastly, one has to observe the track record of the water district on its facilities elsewhere. There are plenty of district-owned sites to make a comparison. (7 reservoirs sites) . Every one of the sites is a credit to the neighborhood . Grounds are landscaped, beautiful lawns and trees, with automatic irri- gation systems, etc . Those property owners adjacent to these facilities often comment about the wonderful neighbor that TWD is . At any time, .the public is invited to visit the shop area located on S . W. Canterbury Lane. They will find a most im- pressive sight with pipe and fittings neatly stacked and trucks & equipment lined up for inspection (when not in use) . It is hoped that members of the Tigard Economic Development Advisory Committee will make a thorough review of the facts and arrive at realistic zoning for the future development of down- town Tigard. Related subject. Construction plans have been prepared and submitted to the city for approval for half-street improvements of Hall Boulevard and the most easterly 200 feet of Burnham Street. The district is not required to do this work, but it is believed to be a worthwhile project which will benefit everyone in the community. Hall Boulevard will be widened to include a deacceleration lane for turning onto Burnham Street (_from the north) . Burnham Street will be widened to provide a middle lane for left-hand turns onto Hall Boulevard. Land will be donated to the state and city for these improvements, but all construction costs will be borne by TWD. The existing cyclone fence will be re- paired and moved back. New curbs and a 5-foot sidewalk will be installed. Work is scheduled to begin next month. The project will certainly improve the appearance of this corner which is pre- sently an eye-sore. -10- all Its �,r 'fir'-" •' �� - '-•...�..s*++.+.,+.�.•,�. _.. - ►a�� I _r.s sp PROPERTY LINE SCREEN H(DGE F A cOy ,1C/ F /c ��♦ FUEL SERVICE Cj• ♦\♦ ISLAND �/C Q<s> \ / ♦ 9 i ♦♦♦\ •P9 t O/ ♦ PIPE STORAGE 0 '• �..; ♦♦ FUTUREBUILDING ♦♦♦ ;9p PUBLIC UNLOADING RAMP \ / PARKING FOR TRUCKS • ♦♦�/�'!
