ROLL CALL: Present were Ramsdell, Horowitz, Watkins, Porter, Fyre, Bledsoe, and Mortensen. Absent was Nonnier. 3. The minutes of August 18, 1982 were approved as written. 4. There was no input from the public. 5. Reports were given on meetings of Planning Commission, City Council, and the C.C.I. 6. Alan Horowitz reported that City Administrator Bob Jean urged the County not to locate four subsidized housing units together in Grant Court, but to dispense them rare broadly. 7a. Citizen Involvement element of the Comprehensive Plan: The consensus of the NPO was that the following should be added: (1) In the introduction, the update on the history should include the new ordinance regulating the NPO's. (2) A one-page flow chart of how a citizen can get involved in the decision making process. (3) A map of the NPO boundaries - the "Tigard Planning Area" map would be appropriate. ! In addition, members of the NPO were concerned about the Planning Commission, but that public input is not allowed when an issue is appealed or referred to the City Council. Associate Planner Liz Newton explained that this is p&--'z of Tigard's administrative hearings procedures; she further explained that anyone who had spoken at the original public hearing had the right to speak at every level of appeal or referral thereafter; but someone who had not spoken originally could not speak later. The idea is so that the City Council would be making its decision on the basis of the same information presented at the Planning Commission. It was unclear how such a restriction of information helps City Council make decisions in the best interest of the Community. The common perception is that when a matter goes before Council on appeal, public input is no longer allowed. Since the councilors don't hear the testimony presented before the Planning Commission, their decision does not benefit from the citizen involvement. 7b. Public Facilities and Services Discussion on this draft only began when consideration of time and the remaining agenda called for postponement until the next meeting. S. Liz Newton reported for the planning staff on the reason for changes proposed in the staff's new comprehensive plan for the NPO 3 area. A. The reason for changing the Commercial Professional designation along the highway to Commercial Linear are (1) an ordinance (78-2 or 78-4) for the lot where Pietro's Pizza is located - this was a comprehensive plan change at the request of the owner, J.B. Bishop, and (2) the land by Hudson gas station is already developed at Commercial Highway (C-H). Some NPO members thought this land- in vacant still. b. The reasons for charging the Bechtold property from low density to medium are: (1) S.W. Gaarde Street and S.W. 121st Avenue are both designated major collectors. (2) This is a large piece of property and (3) Washington County intends to connect S.W. 135th Avenue (from intersection with Walnut) to S.W. Gaarde (at intersection with S.W. 121st) . C. The reason for charging the area along Pacific Highway from medium density to low density was given that this area is already developed with single family houses. d. Staff had no drafts for any remaining parts of the Plan to hand out yet. Liz Newton stated that Jeremy Coursolle had changed lots 600 and 1400 on Washington County's map 2S1 4 (burgs's lot and the remainder of Bec htold' s from low density to medium density. The members of NPO 3 res onded • p that- this is is violation of the principle stated by Bob Jean at the August 10, 1982 meeting of the Planning Commission. At that meeting when the map was presented publically, Bob Jean stated that each NPO could adjust the density within its own area, but could not shove it off on another NPO without consent of that NPO. No one has asked consent from NPO 3, yet Mr. Coursolle under pressure from other NPO's has already changed two lots. By unanimous vote, NPO 3 recommends that the area west Of S.W. 121st Avenue at S.W. Gaarde (specifically lots 400, 401 500 1400 on ma and p #2S1 4 on Washington County's map #2S1 3cc) remain designated at low density, and not be charged to medium density. Higher densities will place extra burdens on Gaarde and 121st, exacerbating an already difficult traffic situation. Increased traffic will force the widening of these streets, thus destroying existing neighborhoods; planning should not deliberately destroy existing neighborhoods. The medium density is incompatible with the County's designation of low density for the surrounding, adjacent properties. Higher density should be located closer to Highway 99, and other arterial streets. In conjunction, NPO 3 recommends that S.W. Gaarde Street and S.W. 121st Avenue between Gaarde and Walnut be considered as minor collector streets for planning purposes. 9. Discussion of the July 20, 1981 letter from City Attorney to City Council was postponed. 10. By affirmative vote of 5 members, an extra meeting of NPO 3 will be held October 13, 1982 at City Hall, if available. 11. Adjournment shortly after 10:00 P.M.

INTRODUCTION This report is an analysis of Public Facilities and Services Systems in the , City of Tigard, in an attempt to relate City's Comprehensive Plan to the LCDC Statewide Planning Goal 011. It further develops an inventory of Public Facilities and Services. Goal loll states: "To plan and develop a timely, orderly, and efficient arrangement of public facilities and services to serve as a framework for urban and rural development. Urban and rural development shall be guided and supported by types and levels of urban and rural public facilities and services appropriate for, but limited to, the needs and requirements of the urban, urbanizable, and rural areas to be served. A provision for key facilities shall be included in each plan. To meet current and long-range needs, a provision for solid waste disposal sites, including sites for inert waste, shall be included in each plan." The "time, orderly, and efficient arrangement" clause refers to a system or plan that coordinates the type, location and delivery of public facilities and services in a manner that best supports the existing and proposed land uses. Public facilities are constructed and improved when resources are available and budgeted to construct them. These improvement projects can be facilitated by way of a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) . CIP also coordinates the proposed public improvements between City departments with respect to timing, functioning and location of public improvements. The "urban facilities and services" phrase refers to key facilities and to appropriate types and levels of services for the following: water, school, libraries, sewer, solid waste, police, fire, health, energy and communication, storm drainage, and government facilities. This report analyzes each of the above named facilities and service in detail, and provides a range of relevant findings and policies for each. The purpose of the public facilities goals and policies is to provide a policy framework within which the CIP and budget processes will operate. And these policies are defined as city-wide, long-range policies that guide the provision of City services to future development. -1- II. GENERAL PUBLIC FACILITIES AND SERVICES Accommodation of future population growth within Tigard's planning area will • require a corresponding expansion of public facilities and services. The planned expansion of the services will support the land development patterns in terms of location and intensity of future housing, commercial and industrial development. A coordinated policy for providing transportation, utilities and facilities can be accomplished through the use of a capital improvements program. The purposes of such a program are as follows: I. Focus on the community goals, capabilities, and the community's broadest needs; 2. Achieve maximum use of the community's tax dollars; 3. Improve intergovernmental coordination; 4. Improve efficient administration of public business; and S. Consider what role private utilities will have in the preparing of a capital improvements program for Tigard. Capital improvements programming is the process of budgeting for public expenditures on major capital items under a priority system. It should be a continuous process for the selection and sequencing of public projects in support of development over a period of years. FINDINGS o Community goals emphasize the desire to maintain the high quality of facilities and services with the City. o The community's facilities and services are an important management tool in the conservation and development of land within the urban planning area. o Plans and programs need to be developed for the expansion of urban r services in a logical and orderly manner. This should include a funded and effective capital improvement program. o Phasing adequate public facilities and services to support residential development is necessary to meet community needs. o The City of Tigard and related service districts have the ability to provide adequate services to meet the demand for all development within the planning area during the planning period. o Phasing the facilities expansion is necessary for orderly growth. o Formation of private utility districts (water, sewer) could create land management problems within the Urban Planning Area. o A capital improvements program would facilitate the coordination and expansion for providing transportation utilities and other public facilities. -2- POLICIES 7.1.1 THE CITY SHALL: a. PREPARE AND IMPLEMENT A CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM IN CONJUNCTION WITH WASHINGTON COUNTY AND THE APPLICABLE SERVICE DISTRICTS; b. WORK WITH THE SERVICE DISTRICTS TO PROVIDE A COORDINATED SYSTEM FOR PROVIDING SERVICES; C. PROVIDE URBAN SERVICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN TO THE EXTENT OF THE CITY'S FINANCIAL RESOURCES; d. USE THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM AS A MEANS FOR PROVIDING FOR ORDERLY GROWTH AND THE EFFICIENT USE OF LAND; AND e. DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WITH CONSIDERATION BEING GIVEN TO THE LEVEL AND CAPACITY OF THE EXISTING SERVICES; AND f. ADOPT LOCATIONAL CRITERIA AS THE BASIS FOR MAKING DECISIONS ABOUT THE PROPER LOCATION FOR PUBLIC FACILITIES. 7.1.2 THE CITY SHALL REQUIRE AS A PRE-CONDITION TO DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL THAT: a. DEVELOPMENT COINCIDE WITH THE AVAILABILITY OF ADEQUATE SERVICE CAPACITY INCLUDING: f 1. PUBLIC WATER; 2. PUBIC SEWER (DEVELOPMENT ON SEPTIC TANKS SHALL NOT BE ALLOWED WITH THE CITY); AND 3. STORM DRAINAGE. r r b. THE FACILITIES ARE: 1. CAPABLE OF ADEQUATELY SERVING ALL INTERVENING PROPERTIES AND THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT; AND `�Cmc,►�.��y s.�,� t3G i N s c >��-p-�S 2. DESIGNED TO CITY STANDARDS. C. ALI. UTILITIES TO BE PLACED UNDERGROUND. IMPLEMENTATION S'rRATEGIES As a part of the ongoing planning program, the City will prepare a capital improvements program; and a. The staging of facilities will be based on the availability of financial resources; �. Priorities will be based on considerations of : -3- Health and safety factors; Cost-benefit factors; and Social and economic needs. As a part of the Community Development Code; standards will be included in the: Q` Land Division Ordinance for the construction of services; and The Community Development Code which requires future subdivision plans in areas where allowed densities due to a lack of services are less than the plan densities. 3. Where sewer is not available to site, the developer shall be required to extend the services to the site at the developer's cost. The City shall adopt an ordinance providing for partial cost as intervening parcels are developed by the intervening landowners. The intent of these policies is to develop a mechanism for an orderly and logical development and expansion of services to promote an efficient use of land and thus an efficient growth pattern. This mechanism will basically be concerned with: Planning for public facilities in advance of need in a manner which will implement land use policy. This shall help direct the urban expansion and growth. III. STORM DRAINAGE AND WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT Tigard's Comprehensive Plan recognizes the importance of drainage management and notes the impact of improper management of drainageways and watercourses (flooding, pollution, and loss of recreational areas and natural habitats). Thus, the following, objectives and policies are contained in the "Environmental Design and Open Space Plan", adopted in 1977. The Federal Environmental Protection Agency has established requirements which must be met prior to qualifying for funds to construct waste water management r facilities. One of the requirements in the preparation of an Areawide Plan which addresses wastewater point sources and non-point sources. The Metropolitan Service District has prepared an Areawide Plan called No. "208" Plan which addresses facilities and storm water, sanitary sewage and measures to reduce "storm water run off." FINDINGS o The major drainage problem in Tigard is the stormwater runoff throughout the area. o The primary water quantity problem is overbank flooding that occurs when stormwater quantity exceeds channel capacity. • o CH2M Hill, Inc. developed a "Master Drainage Plan" for the City in 1981, which incorporates existing stormwater detention and subdivision procedures and standards with the recommended changes to the existing floodplain management program. -4- o There is an emphasis on the retention of a vegetation buffer along streams and drainageways to reduce runoffs and flood damage, and provide for erosion control. o Most of the following policies have been transformed into City regulations. POLICIES 7.2.1 THE CITY SHALL REQUIRE AS A PRE-CONDITION TO DEVELOPMENT THAT: a. A SITE DEVELOPMENT STUDY BE SUBMITTED FOR DEVELOPMENT IN AREAS SUBJECT TO POOR DRAINAGE, GROUND INSTABILITY OR FLOODING WHICH SHOWS THAT THE DEVELOPMENT IS SAFE AND WILL NOT CREATE ADVERSE OFFSITE IMPACTS; b. NATURAL DRAINAGE WAYS BE MAINTAINED UNLESS SUBMITTED STUDIES SHOW THAT ALTERNATIVE DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS CAN SOLVE ONSITE DRAINAGE PROBLEMS AND WILL ASSURE NO ADVERSE OFFSITE IMPACTS; c. A SHOWING THAT ALL DRAINAGE CAN BE HANDLED ONSITE OR THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION WHICH WILL NOT INCREASE THE OFFSITE IMPACT; d. THE FLOODWAY AREAS BE PROTECTED FOR THEIR WATERSTORAGE FUNCTION (SEE POLICY 3.2.1); AND e. EROSION CONTROL TECHNIQUES BE INCLUDED AS A PART OF THE SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN. 7.2.2 THE CITY SHALL: a. INCLUDE IN ITS CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM PLANS FOR SOLVING DRAINAGE PROBLEMS IN THE EXISTING DEVELOPED AREAS; b. RECOGNIZE AND ASSUME ITS RESPONSIBILITY FOR OPERATING, PLANNING AND REGULATING WASTEWATER SYSTEMS AS DESIGNATED IN THE MSD WASTEWATER TREATMENT MANAGEMENT "208" PLAN; AND c. APPLY ALL APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS AND REGULATIONS WITH RESPECT TO WASTEWATER. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES I. The City will include measures in this plan and in its implementation ordinances to reduce soil erosion. -5- The major drainage problem in Tigard is the storm-water runoff throughout the area. This problem results from the increase in impervious land surfaces that can alter the quantity and quality of runoff from the land. Much of the deficiencies that currently exist within the Tigard area are due to the lack of adequate storm drainage facilities in many areas and stream bank overflow along the Fanno Creek basin. The primary water quantity problem is overbank flooding that occurs when stormwater quantity exceeds channel capacity. Further, pollutants transported by stormwater runoff from non-point sources are significant contributors to the degradation of water quality in the Tigard area. An upper Fanno Creek study found that during several runoff events the pollutant concentrations measured in the stream exceeds those found in effluent from secondary sewage treatment plants. Urban non-point pollution results primarily from the accumulation and transport of contaminated material on paved surfaces such as streets and parking lots. The automobile is a major contributor of many pollutants to these source areas. In 1981, CH2M Hill, Inc. , developed a "Master Drainage Plan" for the City. This plan incorporates existing procedures & standards regarding subdivision and stormwater detention with the recommended changes to the existing floodplain management program. The study also lists numerous recommendations and solutions that would increase the flow efficiency of the Fanno Creek floodway. For example; it is stated that numerous bridges, ie. the Tigard Street and North Dakota Street bridges, are currently below flood elevation and these bridges substantially decrease the flow of water along Fanno Creek. It is suggested in the study that raising the bridge deck would alleviate much of the restricted water flow along Fanno Creek. It further outlines the requirements and costs for development of an effective drainage management system. Although many of these improvements are beyond the City's financial means at this time, the City is in the process of incorporating these items into the capital improvements program. ORDINANCES: Several City ordinances are relevant to drainage management and the protection of environmentally sensitive lands. Ordinance No. 70-18 (as amended) . The Sensitive Lands chapter (18.57) of the City zoning ordinance is the most important legislation regarding drainage management. The intent of the chapter is as follows: 18.57.010 Statement of Intent. Sensitive lands are lands potentially unsuitable for development because of location within the one-hundred-year floodplain, within a natural drainageway, or on steep slopes. Sensitive land areas are designated as such in order to give recognition to the need to protect the public health, safety and welfare of the community through the regulation and control of lands within floodplains, drainageways, and steeply-sloping land areas, and to thereby mitigate potential financial burdens arising from flood damage loss and to preserve natural drainageways from encroaching uses which threaten to affect adversely the property rights of the citizenry of the community, public safety, and the public health by natural conditions arising from upstream of downstream flood -6- levels. City actions under this chapter will recognize the rights of riparian property owners. The floodplain district has for its purpose the preservation of natural water storage areas within the floodplain district by discouraging or prohibiting incompatible uses. Ordinance No. 78-17. The Stormwater Detention Chapter (18.58) of Tigard's zoning ordinance is also keep legislation related to drainage management. The purpose of this chapter is stated as follows: 18.58.010 Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to reduce the harmful effects of stormwater runoff on streambeds, banks, parklands, private properties and other areas in the City of Tigard by requiring the installation of on-site stormwater detention facilities as properties are developed within the city. Ordinance No. 79-96. The purpose of this ordinance is: "To further the orderly use of land and layout of streets, to carry out the comprehensive plan of the city, and to promote the public health, safety and general welfare, lessen congestion in the streets, secure safely from fire, flood, pollution and other dangers, provide adequate light and air, prevent overcrowding of land, and facilitate adequate provision for transportation, water supply, sewage, drainage, preservation of open space, and to provide standards of design and procedures for subdividing and partitioning land." The existing plans and regulations of the City and Washington County express a need for common understanding of drainage problems and a uniform approach to their solution, both inside and outside the city limits. Although, the existing policies and regulations provide an excellent basis for drainage planning, the City needs to supplement them with additional regulatory procedures and standards, particularly in the areas of subdivision regulations and stormwater detension. -7- WORTHr PLAINSlortri" ` t Xi i�i�i7 7:777 r.` l..h k. .. n ................ t ..<.;::.;: .:. :i::�:::'� .::�.. ................... ..i:::)is w�.:}}ljS:.�•tJiNi:y'\�i:?:i:::�??::.i:L!�?:}i>1 �ii:\�iii:�::�i:�)i::�:::•:::�i}:is •;::)y:�i))))i:ii•: .... .. , tla' ..... ..4:•.�::::.�::. .:v UMMSM :•:fid<. �'.=:' :.e�.-:>t'•: B9 iy......................... • ......:::: MIM. wi COOPER MTN. ,i.D > w.

SEWER SERVICE The importance of wastewater collection and treatment facilities in influencing urban growth patterns would be difficult to over-estimate. In the Tigard area, the potential health problems created by untreated sewage flowing into Fanno Creek caused a moratorium on development in the late 1960's and early 1970's. The need for sewer service was the catalytic factor leading to incorporation of the City of Tigard in 1961. The sewer service crisis in the Fanno Creek basin was a fundamental cause of the formation of the Unified Sewerage Agency (USA) in 1970. By 1976 this regional service district has completed the critical elements in the Fanno Creek sewer system. The earlier treatment of human bodily wastes was to dispose of them in cesspools or septic tanks, the latter of which gradually converted this material to harmless organic compounds while isolating it from surface and ground water. Many homes in the Tigard Urban Planning Area rely upon septic systems, and some new homes still in the County are being installed with these systems. Unfortunately, historical experience and the best available evidence on the suitability of local soils, indicate that all future urban development should be served by sewer systems. Existing areas with a record of septic system problems should also be required to hook-up with local sewer lines• FINDINGS o The availability of sewer lines is now the single most important public service controlling the direction and pace of urban growth. o In order to more efficiently use existing vacant land within the already developed area, the network of sewer lines should be completed here before there are any significant extensions to non-urbanized areas. o There are many residents within Tigard Urban Planning Area that have or have had failing septic systems.The extent of the septic system failures and concomitant health hazard may be greater than is indicated by county records. As the area develops the problem is bound to become more conspicuous. Local authorities (the City of Tigard, the Unified Sewerage Agency, and the Washington County Health Department) may not have the legal discretion to avoid this solution to the issue of failing septic systems. On the other hand, the potential hardship of enforcing these regulations on some property owners cannot be ignored. o The existing system by which septic tanks are monitored appears to have serious defects that need to be remedied. According to some soil scientists, for instance, the dye method of tracing septic tank contamination is inadequate. The County's system of recordkeeping is not as efficient as it might be, thereby hampering access to information and the tabulation of a running record or map of problem areas and repeating violators. o Washington County's existing and proposed large-lot zoning designations in the Tigard Plan Area (and to the west on Bull Mountain) will permit septic systems that are likely to fail. Developments in these areas should either be required to have public sewer service or have larger lot sizes than now allowed or envisioned. -15- POLICIES 7.4.1 THE CITY SHALL: a. DEVELOP A COMPREHENSIVE SEWER PLAN THAT IDENTIFIES THE PRESENT AND FUTURE CAPACITY NEEDS FOR A SEWAGE SYSTEM IN THE PLANNING AREA. b. REQUIRE THAT FUTURE EXTENSIONS OF COLLECTOR SEWER LINES SHALL BE CONSISTENT WITH ALL CITY ORDINANCES AND AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE CITY OF TIGARD, WASHINGTON COUNTY AND THE UNIFIED SEWERAGE AGENCY (U.S.A.). c. ADOPT A CLEAR AND CONCISE WORKING AGREEMENT WITH U.S.A. , IMPLEMENTING THE CITY'S POLICIES FOR EXTENDING SEWERS AND PHASING OUT SEPTIC TANKS. 7.4.2 THE CITY SHALL REQUIRE THAT AREAS DEMONSTRATED TO HAVE FAILING SEPTIC SYSTEMS SHALL BE REQUIRED TO CONNECT WITH PUBLIC SEWER LINES. 7.4.3 IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW SEWER SYSTEMS, PRIORITY SHALL: a. FIRST, BE GIVEN TO AREAS HAVING HEALTH HAZARD PROBLEMS WHICH WILL BE DETERMINED BY DEQ; AND b. SECOND, BE GIVEN TO AREAS WHERE THE COST-BENEFITS ARE THE GREATEST IN TERMS OF NUMBER OF POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS. 7.4.t 4 THE CITY SHALL REQUIRE THAT ALL NEW DEVELOPMENT BE CONNECTED TO A SANITARY SEWER SERVICE. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES 1. The Tigard Community Development Code will require that development permit applications demonstrate that adequate sanitary sewer collection and/or treatment capacity is available at the time the application is being made. The requested use of the system can override previous City commitments to facility capacity availability. 2. The City will coordinate with the Unified Sewerage Agency (U.S.A.) in the construction of new trunk and collector lines through both the City's and U.S.A. 's capital improvement programs. 3. The City will work with the Metropolitan Service District (MSD), and other affected agencies to formalize collections and treatment service area boundaries and to plan major waste water treatment facilities. The City recognizes and assumes it's responsibility for operation, planning and regulating waste water systems as designated in MSD's Waste Water Treatment Management Component. -16- 4. The City will reserve it's remaining sanitary sewer system capacity to those areas within the City; 5. The City through its own lines and in cooperation with U.S.A. may provide collection and/or treatment services to unincoporated Washington County if line or system capacity exists in accordance to the City's annexation policies. 6. The City will coordinate closely with Washington County to prevent the installation of septic tank systems in areas where sanitary sewer services should be and are being planned for as part of either the City's proposed Comprehensive Sewer Plan or U.S.A. 's Capital Improvement Programs. 7. The City will monitor the inflow of storm water into the sanitary sewer system to ensure that levels of unacceptable levels of infiltration are reduced. If necessary, a program will be initiated, to reduce the levels of infiltration. Unified Sewerage Agency (USA) The Unified Sewerage Agency (USA) was formed in 1970 with the authority to collect and treat sewage in the rapidly urbanizing portions of Washington County (including all of the Tigard Urban Planning Area). By the fall of 1976, it had completed the Durham treatment plant and the Fanno Creek Interceptor which brought wastes to it from throughout the Fanno Creek basin. The opening of the treatment plan permitted closure of the old plant along North Dakota Street, formerly operated by the Metzger Sanitary District before it was superseded by USA. Additionally, USA constructed additional elements of the planned collection system. The Upper Tualatin Interceptor, linking Sherwood with the Durham Plant, was constructed in 1979. This interceptor permits gravity flow in the area south of Little Bull Mountain to the Summerfield Trunk. City of Tigard Collection System Tigard operates and maintains its own collection system and formerly had its own treatment plant. With few exceptions, its lines are limited to the incorporated territory. The City has sufficient capacity in its gravity lines to handle expected future development in each basin. Septic Systems Prior to the 1960's, when new and tightened controls on water pollution were enacted and the Tigard area began growing very rapidly, development was largely on septic tanks. Although there are now relatively very few new septic tanks being installed, some of the older systems are starting to fail. The primary causes of these failures are the inherent physical limitations of the soils and the hydrologic impact of urbanization. -17- State rules prohibit installation of septic system drainfields where the depth to the seasonal perched water table is less than 2 feet or where a restrictive layer lies less than 2 1/2 feet below the surface. On steeper land (12%-256) the required depth to the impermeable layer increases with slope to 4 feet. Drainfields are prohibited on slopes in excess of 25%. However, as urban development increases runoff, the seasonal water table rises, drainfields which initially met the state standards can be flooded and effluent released onto the surface, causing odor and posing a health problem. According to the Soil Conservation Service, virtually all of the soils in the Tigard Urban Planning Area posses characteristics which "severely" limit their suitability for septic tank systems that will function successfully. Only very minor portions are "moderately" or "slightly" limiting. The City, therefore, requires connection to a public sewer by all new developments. The County requires public sewer service for all new developments except residential subdivisions on 30,000 square foot lots in areas zoned R-30 and on 40,000 square foot lots in areas zoned RS-1 1113, 'VI Cc,;moi. . ',—(Y-_`) Records of the Washington County Health Department document the fact that failures of existing septic systems are relatively frequent in Tigard, especially in the unincorporated areas. The two perennial problem areas are in county areas of NPO #3 (lower northeast slope of Bull Mountain) and NPO #6 (lower northeast slope of Little Bull Mountain). The County Health authorities have verified numerous septic system violations along the entire length of McDonald Street, several on O'Mara Street, and others at residences on Murdock and View Terrace and in many other areas in Tigard. County and state enforcement procedures have eventually forced the owners of failing systems to make corrections or repairs, but the intervening period when the effluent is escaping can last for many weeks or even months, and the repairs may make the system only temporarily effective. The failure to septic systems will continue, and probably increase in severity , and frequency, as they age and as the area urbanizes. Legal means by which the problem can be reduced or eliminated are available. Unincorporated areas where septic systems routinely fail can be compelled to annex to the City in order to be connected with City sewers. State Health hazard annexation procedures are available. Under USA rules and regulations (Section 5 of Resolution #70-12), buildings within 300 feet of a sewer line must be connected to it no later than 3 years after it becomes available, or earlier if ordered. -18- - • s VI POLICE PROTECTION The City of Tigard Comprehensive Plan contains the following policies concerning police protection. FINDINGS o As in other cities around the country, Tigard crime rates are increasing. o As the City of Tigard continues to grow there will be a continued need to increase police protection service. POLICIES 7.5.1 THE CITY SHALL COORDINATE EXPANSION OF POLICE PROTECTION, SERVICE AND FACILITIES WITH THE OVERALL GROWTH OF THE COMMUNITY. 7.5.2 AS A PART OF THE ONGOING DEVELOPMENT REVIEW THE CITY SHALL: a. REQUIRE VISIBLE IDENTIFICATION SIGNS TO ASSIST EMERGENCY VEHICLES IN LOCATING THE AREA OF THE PROBLEM; W, 0 5.1U't-li� b. UTILIZFASPACE CONCEPTS; AND c. REQUIRE THE TIGARD POLICE DEPARTMENT TO REVIEW DEVELOPMENT PERMIT APPLICATIONS. IMPLEMENTING STRATEGIES 1. As part of the Tigard Community Development Code, crime prevention provisions will be included i^: a. The Land Division section of the Tigard Community Development Code; and b. The Site Design Review, Planned Development and Conditional Development sections of the Tigard Community Development Code to include: 1) Requirements for visible identification signs to assist emergency vehicles in locating the area of the problem; 2) Defensible space concepts; and 3) Provisions requiring the Tigard Police Department to review development permit applications. 2. Prior to approving or supporting an annexation proposal, the City will make certain that the proposed area can be adequately served with fire protection. {� -19- If the area cannot be served, the City will coordinate with the applicable police department to specify any corrective measures that would have to be taken by the City, police department, or persons proposing the annexation before the annexation takes place. 3. The nature and level of fire services will be subject to coordinated monitoring by the City and fire districts for evaluation and long-range planning. 4. The City will strive to recude citizen fear of, and susceptibility to crime through increasing awareness of crime prevention methods in development, and involving the entire community in crime prevention programs. The City provides police protection to its citizens through a force of 29 persons, 22 of whom are sworn officers. The Washington County Sheriff's Department provides protection for the unincorporated areas within the City's Urban Planning Area. Following data shows the aggregate crime rates for both the City and County, reported as number of offenses per 100,000 population. 1981 Washington County _4,826.8 City of Tigard 7,304.0 - Source: "Analysis of Crime in Oregon, 1981", Oregon Law Enforcement Council, Law Enforcement Data System.

However, murder, rape and robbery rates have stabilized for the last three years. Auto theft fluctuates over the years. The increasing crime rates can be attributed to the rapid growth and development of the City including increased City's territorial size, population and business activities. This fact has lead the Tigard Police Department to develop a Growth Impact Strategy to deal with personnel need based on growth and work load. The special distribution of reported anti-social behavior generally reflects the local concentrations of: (1) property, (2) people, and (3) crime-prone population age groups. The Tigard Police Department's maps of burglaries, thefts (including automobiles), and criminal mischief show that private businesses (especially shopping areas) , dense residential areas, and junior and senior high schools all have fairly large numbers of police calls. Further, activities of the Washington County Department of Public Safety and the Tigard Police Department are coordinated on a daily basis. The Washington County Law Enforcement Council also meets monthly to establish and maintain • joint programs of cooperation and coordination among the jurisdictions. -21- VII. FIRE PROTECTION Fire protection in the Tigard Urban Planning Area is the responsibility of two agencies: the Tualatin Rural Fire Protection District(TRFPD) and Washington County Fire District # 1(WCFPD #1). The jurisdiction of TRFPD encompasses most of the area, with the latter (WCFPD #1) covering part of the northwest (west of 125th and north of North Dakota) and north (north of North Dakota and Spruce) . Through cooperative agreements, they receive assistance from the City of Beaverton, City of Portland and City of Lake Oswego. The quality of fire protection services is independently assessed by the Insurance Services Office of Oregon, which measures such factors as water supply, equipment, personnel, and communications. The standard grading schedule assigns deficiency points to each factor and then relates the composite numerical score to one of ten insurance classes. A Class 10 rating is equivalent to no fire protection at all and a Class 1 rating is the highest potentially available. Fire insurance premiums are based on these ratings, so the better (lower) the rating, the lower the costs of insurance. Most of the City of Portand has a Class 2 rating - the best rating found in the state. The portions of Washington County Fire District #1 which have fire hydrants (within 1000 feet) have a Class 3 rating. The Tigard Urban Planning Area within the TRFPD has a Class 3 fire insurance rating in hydrant areas. It should be noted, that first aid calls constitute more than half of the runs made by the fire districts in the Tigard area. FINDINGS o Currently, the City of Tigard is serviced by the Tualatin Rural Fire District and Washington County Fire District #1. o Continued growth and urbanization places additional need for fire related services. o Congestion on some area streets slows the response time to fires. Among locations where this has been noticed are: Vicinity of Greenburg & Tiedeman Pacific Highway Main Street Hall Boulevard between Commercial and Pacific Highway Walnut Street Tiedeman Railroad crossings at Hall Boulevard and Main Street During flooding, some bridges may be closed (e.g. at Grant Street on Hall Boulevard) necessitating the use of time consuming circuitous routes. o Subdivision plats can create access problems when there are too few through streets and too many dead ends. There are numerous examples of deadend streets throughout the City. -22- POLICY 7.6.1 THE CITY SHALL REQUIRE AS A PRE-CONDITION TO DEVELOPMENT THAT: a. THE DEVELOPMENT BE SERVED BY A WATER SYSTEM HAVING ADEQUATE WATER PRESSURE FOR FIRE PROTECTION PURPOSES; b. THE DEVELOPMENT SHALL NOT REDUCE THE WATER PRESSURE IN THE AREA BELOW A LEVEL ADEQUATE FOR FIRE PROTECTION PURPOSES; AND C. THE APPLICABLE FIRE DISTRICT REVIEW ALL APPLICATIONS. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES 1. The City and private developers will coordinate with the applicable fire districts on all development proposals within the City. 2. Prior to approving or supporting an annexation proposal, the City will make certain that the proposed area can be adequately served with fire protection. If the area cannot be served, the City coordinate with the applicable fire district to specify any corrective measures that would have to be taken by the City, fire district, or persons proposing the annexation before the annexation takes place. 3. The nature and level of fire services will be subject to coordinated monitoring by the City and fire districts for evaluation and long-range planning. Tualatin Rural Fire Protection District The TRFPD, which was organized in 1948, includes a much larger area than Tigard which is only the most urbanized, northern part of a district that includes Tualatin, King City, Sherwood, Wilsonville, the southeastern corner of Washington County, and most of Clackamas County north and west of the Willamette River. There are three stations of the TRFPD serving the Tigard Plan Area: in the centers of Tigard, King City and Tualatin. Tigard: 1 station, 1 engine, 1 ladder, 1 volunteer engine King City: 1 station, 1 engine, 1 rescue (with paramedics) Tualatin: 1 station, 1 engine Under the insurance grading schedule, fire engines are permitted a running distance (radius) of 1 1/2 miles for commercial areas and 4 miles for residential areas. Almost all of the district, within the Tigard Urban Planning Area, is within a 2 mile running distance of at least one of the three stations. -23- „t..........y 3 M'l�^ •rt 4 afl .p - nion I -1 r.p.r s 1 ..y, Alai = 1 t J►.. sP - .lA...

' The district also has Mutual Response Agreements with Lake Oswego, Washington County Fire District Ill, Beaverton, and Portland to ensure that sufficient apparatus and personnel are dispatched to any call. The Lake Oswego stating (Lake Grove) is located one mile east of the Washington County-Clackamas County line at the Interstate 5/Upper Boones Ferry interchange. The closest Washington County District Ill station is at Scholls Ferry Road and Hall Boulevard (Progress) , less than one mile from the Plan Area. The south Beaverton substation is one mile north of Scholls Ferry Road and 135th. Portland's Engine #18 is 2 1/2 miles northeast on Capitol Hill. Additional back-up support is available from other TRFPD stations and, through Mutual Aid Agreements, from all Washington County and Clackamas County Departments, Portland and Newberg. These mutual aid responses constitute a significant amount of activity, especially in connection with Lake Oswego and Washington County District Ill. In 1981, for example, the TRFPD gave or received a mutual aid response with Washington County District ill an average of once every 5 days. At this time, the TRFPD has no plans to build or relocate stations or add equipment or personnel in the Tigard Urban Planning Area. It is felt that the present level of service can continue to be provided into the future as development occurs, and with the present commitment of resources. Washington County Fire Protection District #1 The WCFPD Ill serves the small part of the Tigard Urban Planning Area north of the TRFPD. The Progress station on Scholls Ferry Road, north of Hall Boulevard, responds to calls in this area. The District has Mutual Response Agreements with the TRFPD, Portland and Beaverton. Running times are the lengthiest (4 1/2 minutes) to the vicinity of Jack Park off Walnut Street. The Beaverton Engine #6 from the corner of Brockman and Davies Road usually is • first-in to 135th and Scholls Ferry as well as the area mentioned above. However, the WCFPD #1 does not regard this service pattern as a significant problem and is satisfied with current district boundaries. The Tigard station of the Tualatin district also responds relatively quickly to calls in this area. Hydrant areas have a Class 3 fire insurance rating, with the rest having Class 4. All buildings relating to fire protection are required to meet Fire Life Safety requirements of the Uniform Building Code. Although the fire districts have a 100 foot ladder truck, the use of the ladder may be restricted due to building location or design. If such is the case the fire districts require those buildings to be of fire construction and sprinkled to assure fire safety. -24- VIII. PRIVATE UTILITIES The Tigard Urban Planning Area is served by four private utilities providing communications and energy: General Telephone, Pacific Northwest Bell, Portland General Electric, and Northwest Natural Gas. To continue to meet area needs, some additional facilities and modifications to existing facilities may, on occasion, be required. Such necessary changes should be acknowledged by the City when the utilities seek to maintain or improve their operations. The timing of some utility construction activities, the laying of natural gas pipelines, for instance, should be integrated as closely as possible with public construction projects in order to avoid wasted duplication of efforts (e.g. street paving). FINDINGS o Utilities such as natural gas, electric and telephone are provided by private utility agencies. o There is a need for development of a capital improvement plan to coordinate programs developed by public and private utilities. POLICY 7.7.1 COMMUNITY LAND USE PLANNING SHALL BE COORDINATED WITH PRIVATE UTILITY AGENCIES TO ASSURE THE AVAILABILITY OF SERVICES WHEN NEEDED. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES 1. The City will work with all private utilities, public utilities, and , other public agencies which work in public rights-of-way (e.g. City and County public works departments) to ensure that each utility is provided with plans, programs, and schedules outlining any anticipated construction/reconstruction of public streets. 2. The need for additional utility facilities ( e.g. transmission lines, bulk power substations, etc. ) and improvement and maintenance of existing services will be given appropriate consideration by City Decision-Makers when the plans of private utilities require public review. Energy Utilities Portland General Electric (PGE) PGE is the only provider of electricity in Tigard. It has no generating facilities in the area and only one bulk power substation (west Portland) in the northeast corner of the Tigard Triangle (NPO #4) south of Pacific Highway. Electricity is brought into, and through, the area via 115 kilo-volt transmission lines. These are located along the length of Pacific Highway; paralleling the length of the Southern Pacific Railroad; 66th Avenue - Hampton - Hunziker; and Pine Street to 80th Avenue, and then north. There are four distribution substations in the Plan Area. -25- Progress - northern NPO #2 (west of Cascade Blvd. ) Tigard - southern NPO #2 (Johnson off Pacific) Western Foundry - northern NPO #5 (east of Hall north of Fanno Creek) Unified Sewerage Agency (customer-owned) - southern NPO #5 (USA treatment plant) There is another distribution substation just beyond the Tigard Urban Planning Area near King City (north of the Tualatin River) . A major regional transmission corridor lies west of the Tigard Urban Planning Area (along 150th) . Northwest Natural Gas There are three feeder gas pipelines in the Tigard Urban Planning Area. Along Scholls Ferry Road. Along 82nd from Oak to Pine, Pine to Hall Blvd. , Hall to Hunziker, to 72nd and east along Bradbury Court. Walnut from 135th to 132nd, 132nd and then southeasterly to Gaarde, Gaarde, McDonald to 103rd, Murdock to 100th, Sattler to 98th, Durham to Upper Boones Ferry Road, Findlay Road to Bradbury Court. Distribution lines are located along most streets in the area. Communications General Telephone Almost all of the Tigard Urban Planning Area has telephone service provided by General Telephone (GTE). A portion of northeast Tigard is serviced by Pacific Northwest Bell: northeast part of the Tigard Triangle and a slice of territory across the northern part of NPO #4 and including a small area in NPO #2. Major routes for communication lines generally follow the principal streets in the area (e.g. Pacific Highway, Greenburg &oad, Hall Boulevard, etc. ) . Increasing population and economic activity in Tigard keep GTE occupied in expanding its facilities, such as adding additional cables. About half of the existing communication lines are buried cables or underground conduits and the firm is in the process of converting to more conduits. -26- IX. SCHOOLS �- The City of Tigard and a large area beyond Tigard's Urban Planning Area are served by the Tigard School District 23J and the Beaverton School District 48 (see Map). The Tigard school system is composed of nine elementary schools, two intermediate schools and one high school. The capacity of each school and present enrollment figures are listed in Tables VI-IX. Also included in the acreage of each facility. The Tigard school district educates nearly all Tigard children who attend public school. The children who live in the extreme northern portion of Tigard reside within Beaverton School District. Although this number is small (258 out of the 6,790 total) the new residential development in the northwest portion of the City can be expected to increase Tigard children's participation in Beaverton School District. FINDINGS o The location and development of school facilities has a significant impact on residential development, transportation system location and development of public facilities and services. o Although, the boundaries of the Tigard 23J School District extend beyond the Tigard Urban Planning Area, the location and function of district's land uses has a major impact upon the Tigard Urban Planning Area. o Students in the northwest corner of Tigard attend the Beaverton School District X48. r o Schools have a major impact on future land use decisions. , o Both existing and future schools can help define residential areas and serve as activity centers. o Historically, the school district and the City of Tigard- have cooperated in the use of facilities. o State land use goals and guidelines require cooperation and coordination in land use decisions between the City and the school district. o Both of the school districts that serve Tigard are separate taxing districts and are not the responsibility of the City of Tigard government. POLICY 7.8.1 THE CITY SHALL WORK CLOSELY WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO ASSURE THE MAXIMUM COMMUNITY USE OF THE SCHOOL FACILITIES FOR TIGARD RESIDENTS THROUGH LOCATION CRITERIA AND THE PROVISIONS OF URBAN SERVICES. -27- IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES 1. The City will monitor school capacity by requiring requests for / development proposals and permits to be reviewed by applicable school district for effects on school capacity as a pre-condition to development. 2. The City will coordinate with the school districts whereby each party is regularly informed of the others activities on short and long range planning all issues of mutual interest, e.g. , school/park facilities and the financing and managing of those facilities. 3. The City will develop "Locational Criteria" and will cooperate with the school districts in their efforts to select new school sites in order to assure adequate facilities and minimize conflicts with the Comprehensive Plan. 4. The City shall support education and occupational training programs and when appropriate make selective resources of the City available to public agencies and private programs. 5. The City will encourage the use of schools as an integral part of the community by making joint agreements with the school district to allow community uses of school facilities for recreation, open space, and meeting rooms. r -28- IV.

Within the school system, there is an excess capacity of about 7 percent. Secondary schools are operating at 85 percent of their listed- capacity, while elementary schools are operating at about 99 percent capacity. As the data indicates, at the elementary school level, capacity problems exist. Two schools (Edward Byron and Tualatin) have exceeded capacity, while the rest of the schools have near capacity in recent years. The need for an additional elementary school finally led to the establishment of Bridgeport School which will commence operation during the 1982-1983 academic year. Locational Criteria for Beaverton School Sites In the summer of 1982, the Beaverton School District completed a demographic survey of single family, attached single family homes, multiple family dwellings and condominiums. As a result of this study, the factors in Table IX will be used to project student populations in new housing developments. -30- TABLE IR STUDENT POPULATION PROJECTION Beaverton School District SINGLE FAMILY .44 elementary students per dwelling .20 intermediate students per dwelling .13 high school students per dwelling .76 total school-age students per dwelling ATTACHED SINGLE FAMILY .18 elementary students per dwelling .05 intermediate students per dwelling .04 high school students per dwelling .26 total school-age students per dwelling MULTIPLE FAMILY .09 elementary students per dwelling .04 intermediate students per dwelling .04 high school students per dwelling .17 total school-age students per dwelling CONDOMINIUM t .03 elementary students per dwelling .02 intermediate students per dwelling .03 high school students per dwelling .09 total school-age students per dwelling Some numbers may not total due to rounding. -31- R. HEALTH SERVICES / Health services planning in the Tigard area is primarily the responsibility of Northwest Oregon Health Systems. However, existing services are very generally summarized here. There are 35 physicians and surgeons and 26 dentists currently practicing medicine within the Tigard Plan Area as well as a Washington County Health Department Clinic. There are no hospitals in the Plan Area; the nearest are Meridian Park in Tualatin, St. Vincent north of Beaverton, and the University of Oregon, Veterans Administration and other hospitals in Portland. The Tigard-King City area contains three nursing homes: Tigard Care Center 112 beds Canterbury Crest Sanatorium 27 beds King City Convalescent Center 148 beds TOTAL 287 beds The local fire departments also provide important service. More than half of their runs are for medical emergencies. Findings o Although there are care facilities with the Tigard Urban Planning Area, Tigard's primary health service needs are served by those facilities throughout the Portland Metropolitan area. , o There are two major hospitals in close proximity .to the City, St. Vicent's which is less than 15 minutes driving time and Meridan Park which is less than 10 minutes driving time. POLICY • 7.9.1 THE CITY SHALL: a. ENCOURAGE COOPERATION BETWEEN LOCAL, STATE, FEDERAL AND PRIVATE AGENCIES IN PLANNING AND PROVIDING FOR HEALTH AND RELATED SOCIAL SERVICES; AND b. PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NECESSARY HEALTH SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED WITHIN THE CITY THROUGH THE PROVISION OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES 1. As part of the Community Development Code: a. Hospitals will be permitted as conditional development in all residential and commercial development districts. -32- b. Group care facilities will be permitted outright in medium, medium-high and high density residential districts and permitted as conditional development in low density residential districts. c. Medical offices and clinics will be allowed. RI. LOCAL GOVERNMENT FACILITIES Major municipal facilities include: o City Hall, which accommodates all administrative functions such as administration, finance, planning, public works and building. o Police Department. o City Shop, which is adjacent to the City Hall. This facility also performs park maintenance functions. o Library, which is located on Main Street. The analysis of Tigard's existing administrative facilities and centralized services indicates that there is a need for more space. Thus, in the past several years the need for a civic center has been identified by the City as a priority problem. Previous efforts to secure funding of such a facility have been unsuccessful, but the difficulties associated with existing facilities have become more and more pressing with the community's rapid growth. Civic center concept has been approved by City Council in May, 1982, however, the funding for the project has not been approved by the voters. FINDINGS o The ?urrent space owned by the City for administrative offices does not meet the space needs of the City. Therefore, the City currently rents the needed space for administrative purposes. o The City has rented space in a building which is geographically centered in the community. POLICY 7..10..1 LOCAL GOVERNMENT ADMINISTRATION FACILITIES SHOULD REMAIN CENTRALIZED IN THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY 1. The City will continue to locate their facilities, where feasible, in a central location to all residents of the City. -33- XII. LIBRARY i FINDINGS o Current library facilities are inadequate. o Increased demands will require an expansion of library facilities and service. POLICY 7.11.1 THE CITY SHALL, WHERE ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE, PROVIDE FOR LIBRARY SERVICES WHICH MEET THE USER DEMAND OF ITS RESIDENTS. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES I. The City shall continue to work with the Library to provide adequate library services. The Tigard Public Library is in a relatively central location at the west end of Main Street. As of June, 1982 card registration totaled 8,900. The library system contains about 23,500 volumes which shows an increase of about 19% since 1977. While the gross number of volumes is not an adequate measure of a library's level of service, it is one important indicator. The existing book stock is essentially limited now by the capacity of the building housing the library. Following table shows the drastic increase in library services since 1977. ' TABLE X GENERAL LIBRARY INFORMATION 1977 1982 Card registration 4,54-07 8,900 Users of library 11,350 13,350 Library volume 19,700 23,500 Circulation 77,384 109,000 The registration has also increased by 48% since 1977. The library system is open to the public 48 hours a week and is operated by a staff of 4 full-time, 3 part-time, and 14 volunteer personnel. The library operates an outreach program which includes delivery of books to individual homes by 3 volunteers, and deposit collections which are set up once a month in King City Library and King City Convalescent Center (nursing home). -34- i The Tigard Library's service area includes (in addition to all residents of the Tigard Plan Area): King City, Bull Mountain, Metzger and Durham. Other libraries in surrounding communities include those in Beaverton, Tualatin, Sherwood, Lake Oswego, and Capitol Hill (a Multnomah County branch library on Capitol Highway south of Interstate-5). The Capitol Hill library is the closest, but is not available for free use by Washington County residents. Library service has increased as a result of the Washington County Cooperative Library Service (WCCLS) serial levy. This greater funding permitted an expansion of staff, purchase of 5,000 volumes, and other improvements. A WCCLS serial levy to run from 1979 to 1984 was approved by the County electorate in May of 1978. a e -35- XIII. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING FINDINGS o Per capita generation of solid waste has been increasing. A considerable ' reduction of the level of solid waste disposed of in landfills can be effected by recycling, particularly through the use of source separation. o The recycling of solid waste conserves limited natural resources and energy. o The storage and disposal of hazardous substances are problems of increasing public concern. o The Metropolitan Service District (MSD) has been designated with the primary responsibility of finding a solution to the disposal of solid wastes, which is a regional problem. Metrol maintains a regional solid waste management plan which is used to guide activities such as the search for new regional landfills and planning of solid waste transfer stations, resource re-covery plants, and recycling programs. o Collection of solid wastes in the City handled by private firms operating under mutually exclusive franchise granted by the City Council. o City policies and strategies regarding the solid waste management must include recognition of Metro's primary role in planning and coordinating solid waste disposal for the region and provisions which will help achieve the regional objectives of reducing, the amount of wastes that need to be J disposed of in sanitary landfills. POLICIES ` 7.12.1 THE CITY SHALL RECOGNIZE METROPOLITAN SERVICE DISTRICT'S (MSD) RESPONSIBILITY AND AUTHORITY TO PREPARE AND IMPLEMENT A _:LID WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN, AND WILL PARTICIPATE IN THESE PROCEDURES AS APPROPRIATE. 7.12.2 THE CITY SHALL PROVIDE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ESTABLISH A PERMANENT, FULL-LINE RECYCLING CENTER THROUGH THE PROVISIONS OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CODE, BY A LOCAL CIVIC ORGANIZATION, FRATERNAL GROUP, YOUTH GROUP (E.G. BOY SCOUTS) , OR THE TIGARD SCHOOL DISTRICT. THE LOCATION SHOULD BE NEAR THE CENTER OF THE COMMUNITY AND SHOULD BE OPEN EVERY DAY. IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES 1. The City will promote the recycling of solid waste. Such measures may include giving financial incentive to solid waste- collectors who recycle, and the establishment of an internal paper recycling program in City Hall and City Maintenance facilities. 2. The City will work with MSD and the State DEQ in adequately identifying the future needs for solid waste disposal in Tigard and Washington County. -36- Solid Waste Most of the solid waste now collected in Tigard is hauled to distant landfills where its components are unavailable for reuse or recycling. Local recycling efforts are rather meager. Regional solid waste management efforts will soon result in the construction of a Resource Recovery Facility and generate electricity and reduce the volume of material deposited in landfills. Existing landfills are being rapidly filled to capacity, and there are very few suitable sites for new landfills. Waste Generation Existing data does not permit a reliable calculation of the total amount of solid waste generated in Tigard. Recent regional data can give an indication of the magnitudes involved, however. The Tigard Plan Area was divided by MSD into four waste generation zones which included other areas, so the zone estimates are of little use. For the region as a whole, residential waste comprised about half of the total (53X) in terms of weight. The average residential waste generation is 2.28 pounds every day per person. That corresponds to almost seven (7) pounds (6.84) every day for a three person household. For the Tigard Plan Area, that means about 45,600 pounds of solid waste every day, or almost 23 tons (22.8). No increase in the per capita generation rate is expected in the future. (This is based on 1978 data.) Refuse Collection Three private firms hold exclusive franchises with the City and County to collect solid waste in the Tigard area. They generally provide routine garbage collection, drop box special loads, compact waste and recycle newspapers. Service areas have been convoluted and .indistinct in some areas r 4 in the past. However, the City has redrafted its franchise ordinance to create clear service boundaries. These boundaries provide for the following division of the Tigard Plan Area. Miller's Sanitary Service - Northern Tigard (north half of NPO V, NPO #2 north of N. Dakota and west of Greenburg and NPO #4 east of Hall and north of Pfaffle and Pacific). Schmidt's Sanitary Service - Southern Tigard (southern 3/4 of NPO #6 south of Murdock and Sattler and southwest corner of NPO #5 generally south of Bonita and west of 76th). Frank's Disposal Service - Central Tigard (including south Tigard industrial area and remaining areas not served by either Schmidt's or Miller's). Local Recycling There are just three public recycling centers in Tigard (see Table) and they generally handle newspaper only (with corrugated cardboard and phone books • also collected, but each at one site). There are no recycling centers in the community which accept all forms of recyclable wastes. "Full line" recycling centers accept glass, cans, newspapers, cardboard, and motor oil. According -37- to the Portland recycling information switchboard, operated by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, the Tigard area is in most need of a recycling center that will handle glass not covered by the state mandatory deposit law. That office receives frequent requests for information about , such a facility in Tigard. The closest full-line every-day recycling centers are located to the east and north of Tigard: at Lake Oswego High School and at Oregon Episcopal School (see Table). Regional Disposal and Recycling The three local garbage collectors currently haul collected wastes 15 to 20 miles away, or 30 - 40 miles for a roundtrip by truck. Miller's and Schmidt's now transport refuse to Rossman's Landfill in Oregon City, while Frank's waste material is hauled to the City of Newberg Landfill. St. Johns Landfill in north Portland is also being used, which can meet the need for a few years. However, the metropolitan area lacks a long-term landfill disposal capacity. The Rossman's Landfill is scheduled for closure this summer, for instance. The Metropolitan Service District (MSD) was created in 1970 to solve regional solid waste disposal problems. In 1977, it adopted a plan for a processing facility where wastes would be separated and the combustible portion burned to generate electricity and also reduce Lbe volume of waste to about one-tenth of its original volume. Toward this goal, a site for a Resource Recover Facility has been selected in Oregon City and the garbage-to-energy plan is expected to begin to operate in 1985, and it is estimated that about 2/3 of the total wastes can be disposed of by this technique. With the St. Johns Landfill closing in a few years, Metro is seeking permits for a new landfill in northwest Multnomah County. With resource recovery operating, the new landfill would last for 25 years. Without the garbage e burner, the landfill would be good for about 16 years. Tying the system together will be transfer stations. Metro plan to construct transfer stations at various locaLi3ns in the region to increase the efficiency and economy of the solid waste management system. Transfer stations are enclosed facilities where commercial collectors and private citizens can dispose of their garbage, which is then transferred in large trucks to either a landfill or resource recovery facility. Transfer stations save energy by reducing trips for garbage collectors. They also provide a convenient place to recycle, each transfer station will have a full-line recycling center as part of the facility. Therefore, they allow for improved landfill management by providing an interim point for directing garbage to the proper disposal site. Current proposals call for Metro to construct one transfer station on the east side of the region, one on the west side (probably in Washington County), and a limited transfer station on the resource recovery site in Oregon City. This limited station will accept garbage from haulers as well as the general public. When the resource recovery plant opens, the haulers will go directly to that facility and the transfer station will serve only the public. -38- TABLE XI RECYCLING CENTERS IN TIGARD AND ADJACENT AREAS* Tigard 72nd at Pacific Highway (Fred Meyer) open every day Western Fiber 9285 SW Greenberg Rd. -weekdays 12830 SW Pacific Highway (Davidson's Frostop Drive-In) Operated by Tigard Lions Newspapers - open every day Adjacent Areas Lake Oswego High School - 2501 SW Country Club Road Full-line (glass, cans, newspaper, cardboard, motor oil) - open every day West Coast Fibre Supply, Inc. 8440 SW Hall, Beaverton Weyerhaeuser Company Resource Recovery Plat 10950 SW 11th, Beaverton * Revised 8-20-82 7.8.4 Efforts shall be increased in developing a coordinated recreation program. Existing Facilities - In Tigard As discussed above, there are a multitude of recreational opportunities available to Tigard residents throughout the Metropolitan area. However, for public convenience and also for energy conservation purposes it is desirable to have parks and recreational facilities located in or near local neighborhoods. Within the incorporated boundaries of Tigard, the City currently owns 66.34 acres of park land. -39-
