Findings•
As stated before, NPO 83 did not have time to comment directly on all the
findings. Generally, the findings lack substance and should be more
specific. NPO #3 did make specific comment regarding the following findings:
7.1. "The City of Tigard and related service districts have to ability to
provide adequate services to meet the demand for all development within the
planning area during the planning period.•• (Staff should eliminate, restrict,
or else provide demonstrated basis for the above findings. )
7.4. Second finding: '• the network of TRUNK sewer lines should be
completed.
PAGE 4 -- NPO 3 SPECIAL MEETING MINUTES OCTOBER 27, 1982
The third and fourth findings are unsubstantiated, and should be eliminated,
or else thoroughly documented, with references.
The fifth findings should be deleted, since it pertains to Washington County,
and not to Tigard and its urban growth boundary. (an addition finding) D'
REQUIRING EXISTING DEVELOPMENT TO BOOK UP TO THE SEWER SYSTEM PLACES
UNNECESSARY BURDENS ON THE INDIVIDUALS, AND IN THE LONG RUN ALSO ON THE SEWER
SYSTEM. THERE IS CURRENTLY A REQUIREMENT FOR MANDATORY HOOK-UP WITHIN THREE
(3) YEARS FOR PROPERTIES WITHIN THREE HUNDRED (300) FEET OF A DEDICATED
SEWER. THE CITY HAS NOT CONSISTENTLY ENFORCED THIS REQUIREMENT.
7.8. third finding:
Students in the northwest corner of Tigard attend Beaverton School District
*48. This DISRUPTS THE COMMUNITY OF TIGARD AND IMPACTS THE SAFETY OF CHILDREN
CROSSING SCROLLS FERRY ROAD.
Implementation Strategies:
For the most part NPO 3 did not have time to redraft the implementation
policies. In all cases where policy changes are proposed, the implementation
policies should be changed accordingly. NPO 3 did make the following comments
and recommendations:
7.1. - 2.b. is confusing
7.4. - 1. should be modified as follows:
The Tigard Community Development Code shall require that development
permit applications demonstrate that adequate sanitary sewer collection and/or
treatment capacity, OR OTHER ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF DISPOSAL INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO SEPTIC SYSTEMS, is available at the time the application is being
made. The requested use of the system can override previous City commitments
to facilitate capacity availability.
