Can be accommodated by the City's public facilities and services; and As addressed under Comprehensive Plan, Goal 11: Public Facilities and Services of this report, staff finds that all City of Tigard public facilities and services are available to the proposed annexation property, and have sufficient capacity to provide service. B. Is consistent with applicable state statute. As addressed later in this report,staff finds the applicable provisions of ORS 222 have been met,consistent with this policy. Goal 14.2, Policy 4: The City shall evaluate and may require that parcels adjacent to proposed annexations be included to: A. Avoid creating unincorporated islands within the City; B. Enable public services to be efficiently and effectively extended to the entire area; or C. Implement a concept plan or sub-area master plan that has been approved by the Planning Commission or City Council. The subject property (13990 SW Fern Street;WCTM 2S104BD, Tax Lot 9300) and the adjacent property (13992 SW Fern Street;WCTM 2S104BD,Tax Lot 9400) make up an "island" of unincorporated land that is completely surrounded by land in the City of Tigard jurisdiction. Annexation of Tax Lots 9300 and 9400 will enable public services to be efficiently and effectively extended to these properties.Accordingly,the City of Tigard has also submitted an application for the delayed annexation of Tax Lot 9400 (Case No.ZCA2018- 00003). The annexation of both Tax Lots 9300 and 9400 will eliminate the existing unincorporated"island," which is consistent with the policy outlined above.

(9 —0) PUBLIC HEARING OPENED TRILLIUM HILL SUBDIVISION ZONE CHANGE ZON2018-00002; SUB2018-00003 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting approval for a zone change from R-3.5 to R-4.5 and a 14-lot subdivision,located at 15050 and 15100 SW 109th Avenue. Proposed lots will range in size from 7,218 square feet to 8,481 square feet. The applicant also proposes to extend SW Lady Marion Drive west to provide a connection to SW 109th Avenue and create a new private street (Tierra Terrace),which connects to SW Lady Marion Drive. LOCATION: 15050 and 15100 SW 109th Avenue QUASI-JUDICIAL HEARING STATEMENTS President Fitzgerald read the required statements and procedural items from the quasi-judicial hearing guide. There were no abstentions; there were no challenges of the commissioners for bias. Conflict of interest: none. Ex-parte contacts: none. Site visitations: Commissioners Lieuallen,Jackson, Fitzgerald, Feeney, Roberts, and Schmidt had visited the site. No one in the audience wished to challenge the jurisdiction of the commission. STAFF REPORT Associate Planner Agnes Lindor introduced herself and went over the staff report (Staff reports are available on-line one week before each hearing) and a PowerPoint (Exhibit C) regarding the proposal below: ■ Rezone request • Change from R-3.5 to R-4.5 • Both in Low Density Residential Comprehensive Plan Designation ■ Subdivision • 14 lots • Extension of SW Lady Marion Drive west to SW 109th Avenue • Private street from SW Marion Drive July 16, 2018 Page 4 of 9 STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Planning Commission approve the proposed zone change and subdivision based on the findings contained in the staff report and the applicant's materials. QUESTIONS Was the extension of SW Lady Marion Dr. a request from the applicant, or is that a City requirement? It is a requirement by the City. Are you saying we cannot approve the zone change without approving the subdivision? They are applying for it together - concurrently. So to be clear, I cannot turn down the subdivision and approve the zone change?Yes. APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION Wayne Hayson, Planning Manager with Pioneer Design Group,was there representing the applicant, Paceline Holdings, LLC. Mr. Hayson went over a PowerPoint (Exhibit D). He noted that this proposal would change the zoning district from R-3.5 to R-4.5. He said staff had covered most of his points already so he would keep this brief and expand upon some of the points. He noted that R-3.5 &R-4.5 are both low density residential, so they don't change the Comprehensive Plan. Considering the larger lots to the east in the Erickson Heights subdivision, he believes the lots are an appropriate transition. The density would increase by just 3 units, which is not a significant increase—it's an increase of less than 30 average daily trips across that side. Lady Marion will be extended to SW 109th as required and a half-street improvement will be provided along the SW 109th Ave. frontage. The private street located in Tract A will have a 26'wide paved surface to provide parking on one side and includes a turnaround,which meets TVF&R specifications. There will be no need for people to wheel their garbage cans out to a main street. There will be no problem with garbage collection on that street because of the parking being on just the one side and how the street was designed. All required public utilities are available to the site. He addressed some of the neighborhood concerns— such as speeding, no parking areas, illegal passing, etc. Unfortunately, these concerns cannot be controlled by the review of this application; however, he said, "We will obviously comply with the necessary signage that is determined by City engineering staff through the review." TESTIMONY IN FAVOR—None TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION Dorothy Gadas—16463 SW 103 Ave.,Tigard—does not want people to bulldoze the hillside. She noted there is a vast area of trees and forestry and she is against changing the area. She would like to know how the erosion with soil,wind, and incredibly dry weather will affect the hillside; she doesn't believe that was addressed. She objects to this residential community being built just for another bit of money for the city when they're putting forty-nine homeowners lives at risk because the steep hill is not going to maintain what is proposed. July 16, 2018 Page 5 of 9 Allan Rumbaugh 10500 SW Naeve St. Tigard—said he did not receive public notice. He believes he is in the impact area [Mr. Rumbaugh lives just outside of the noticing area]. He is concerned about street traffic and traffic calming. He said he had sent a letter of comment that went into more detail. He's mainly concerned about safety on the street;he does not want Lady Marion extended, and believes this should simply be a 14 lot cul-de-sac. Lynn Walker, 14970 SW 109th Tigard—doesn't want Lady Marion extended. She is concerned about signage,lack of stripes... safety. She already has a hard time getting out of her driveway due to traffic and bad visibility. She doesn't believe Tigard has done enough studies. She would like to see a 4-way stop at Murdock and 109th; she would like to see speed bumps and would like to see a traffic officer there monitoring the traffic going through. She said people speed through there all the time. She is against the commission doing the zoning and subdivision together. She would rather see them do the zoning first and the subdivision second. She thinks the residents already there should be taken into consideration. She believes this is rushed—originally, this was going to be eight houses—and now it's fourteen. She believes there are safety improvements that should be taken into consideration before rezoning. Kayla Carruth,10555 SW Lady Marion—is concerned about the extension of Lady Marion. She believes her street will become like a freeway with this change and wants this to be reconsidered. Her street already has a lot of traffic and now it will be worse. She would like that to be considered. Bill Anderson, 10499 SW Naeve Street,Tigard—agrees with all the previous testimony. He moved to the area because of the livability of the area. For safety and traffic reasons, he's very concerned about Lady Marion going through. STAFF RESPONSE Tigard's principal engineer Khoi Le said he wants to direct the Commission back to the Code Requirement regarding street connections. Lady Marion Drive has the capacity to handle additional traffic and the engineering department does not see a problem or have any issues with the street connection. Associate Planner Agnes Lindor spoke to the question about the hillside. There wasn't a sensitive lands required because the slopes are less than 25%in grade;however, a building permit through the building code requirements -if there's a geotech required for the foundations and how the houses are built—will be required at that time. As far as tree removal— the current code does provide incentives for developers to preserve trees;however,it's not a requirement—it's an option that they can utilize. As for noticing requirements—the code requires that properties within 500' of the site be sent notices, so if you are outside of that you will not receive a mailed notice. APPLICANT REBUTTAL Wayne Hayson regarding the notice area— said the state law's minimum noticing area is actually just 300', and Tigard's 500'noticing area exceeds that standard. He said, "I believe the applicant complied with Tigard's requirement and we have a written affidavit confirming the mailing. July 16,2018 Page 6 of 9 Regarding connectivity—We are subject to the standards of approval or the requirements for approval that were in effect on the day that we submitted our land use application. On that day the City code clearly stated that all local neighborhood routes and collector streets which abut a development shall be extended unless any of the three exceptions are present, that is environmental or topographical constraints, existing development,patents or strict adherence to other standards in this code. We've been through the process and this is not a sensitive area, topography is not an issue; there's nothing preventing a street going through. A cul-de-sac is not an option in this case—anything else would be changing the goal post in this application. We are required to put that street through. As for circulation, there's always a consequence to circulation and to putting a street through in this fashion. One of those consequences for people living on Kable is that they will see a decrease in traffic. People who are cutting through Naeve down to Kable will now likely take Lady Marion. People on that street will see more traffic, but other streets in the area will see a decrease in traffic. And that's the point of connectivity—it's to allow multiple ways to get in and out of a neighborhood to distribute traffic and even that traffic out. The design of Erickson Heights anticipated Lady Marion Drive going through. The stub is an interim situation and I believe it is appropriate for it to go through. Everybody would like to live on a dead end street if they had the ability to do so. Regarding a traffic study—at 14 lots it's not considered a significant enough development to warrant additional transportation studies and part of that is because when you're getting a stub street it's anticipated that it is going through unless there are physical constraints to prevent it from doing so. A geotechnical report is not required at this time. We will be required to do that geotechnical report before we submit for site development for grading permits and for building permits for the homes." QUESTIONS President Fitzgerald asked Assistant Community Development Director Tom McGuire to clarify whether the Commission is actually making the decision, or just recommending to Council. Tom answered that this is a Type III procedure,which means they are making the decision;however, the decision is appealable to City Council before being appealable to LUBA. PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED DELIBERATION REGARDING THE ZONING CHANGE President Fitzgerald took a straw poll regarding whether to do one vote on the zoning change and subdivision or whether to do two separate motions—understanding that if the zoning change does not go through, the subdivision will not be able to go through. She asked each commissioner to weigh in on the zoning change. Commissioner: • Schmidt thinks this is reasonable;he's fine with the zone change. • Roberts likes the consistency and is good with the zone change. • Brook agrees and is also good with the zone change. • Feeney concurs. July 16,2018 Page 7 of 9 • Hu agrees—he cautioned them that if they approve the zone change but not the subdivision, someone else could just run away with it. • Jackson considers the zone change justification to be reasonable. • Lieuallen chose not to comment. • Middaugh—agrees with the zone change—it's consistent with the existing lots that adjoin the site. The consensus was that the commissioners would pass the zone change, so they would like to do one motion to include both the zone change and the subdivision. DELIBERATION OF THE SUBDIVISION President Fitzgerald asked for the commissioner's thoughts on the subdivision: Commissioner: • Middaugh: is in agreement with the subdivision. The intent all along was to extend that road. He agrees with connectivity and overall thinks the plan is well thought out and well designed. He likes that most of the new units will have frontage on Lady Marion and that will fit in well with the existing look of the neighborhood. • Lieuallen thinks the 109th connection is unsafe—he thinks the very top of that hill is high and there will likely be people speeding down that road-it's a steep downhill road—he doesn't like the connection and thinks it's dangerous. As for the density—he thinks the developers could do some traffic calming. • Jackson—regarding traffic, the only homes on Lady Marion that would see less traffic are the ones on the corner. He's disappointed that the sidewalk is not going through. All in all, he thinks the proposal meets code requirements. • Hu is sympathetic to the neighbors' concerns, but the property owners have the right to develop their property in this way. He will vote for the subdivision. • Feeney— Connectivity is required and this extended street meets the criteria. • Brook—doesn't see the draw for so much additional traffic. She thinks the design very clearly considered the options. She will vote yes. • Roberts— this is as good a plan as we'll likely get on this property. He understands the concern about traffic —enforcement and calming is on his mind - but this meets the code. • Schmidt—agrees with the statements in favor of the proposal as planned. He believes the plan meets the code requirements, and he can't find a reason to deny it. • President Fitzgerald agrees that this meets the code. She asked if anyone would like to make a motion. _ MOTION Commissioner Middaugh made the following motion: "I move for approval of application ZON2018-00002 and SUB2018-00003 and adoption of the findings and conditions of approval contained in the staff report and based on testimony received tonight." The motion was seconded by Commissioner Feeney. July 16, 2018 Page 8 of 9 VOTE A vote was taken on the motion to approve. RESULT The motion to approve the application passed 8 — 1;with Commissioner Lieuallen voting nay. BRIEFING PHASE II CODE AMENDMENT PROJECT —Housing Policy & Omnibus Changes PHASE III CODE AMENDMENT PROJECT—Apartment and Commercial Standards Land Use Updates Associate Planner Schuyler Warren had sent a memo to the commissioners earlier in the week (Exhibit E) which gave a good introduction to his Phase II Code Amendment Project briefing this evening. He went over those points and a PowerPoint (Exhibit F) and took questions at the end and during his talk. Senior Planner Susan Shanks came up to speak about Phase III. She had also sent a briefing memo out to the commissioners (Exhibit G) and spoke to the commissioners about Phase III, and took questions during and at the end of the briefing. OTHER BUSINESS —None.
