Agenda Item
September 24, 2012
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Council through City Administrator
FROM: Jim Hendryx, Directorof Economic & Development Services
SUBJECT:
Kalugin Estates subdivision, located south of Hardcastle Avenue,
between Dunn Court and Orchard Lane
RECOMMENDATION:
1.Conduct a public hearing on Kalugin Estates Subdivision; Subdivision
2012-01, Variance 2012-01, and Street Exception 2012-01.
2.Direct staff to prepare findings implementing the Council’s decision for the
next regularly scheduled meeting.
BACKGROUND:
The owner is requesting approval for 14 lots, with variances for lot area, width,
depth, street frontage, front, side and rear setbacks, lot coverage, and street
cross-section.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal at its meeting of July 26, 2012.
Commissioners expressed concern over the small lot sizes and lack of yard area
for children to play in. They also noted that there is a need for small, affordable
housing, and that the proposed subdivision would be consistent with other
development in the neighborhood. Commissioners noted that the property
would remain undeveloped without a project such as the proposed subdivision.
The Commission voted unanimously to approve the subdivision and all its
associated variances. The motion also directed Staff to prepare findings that
the approval was for a unique parcel and development proposal, and did not
indicate support for smaller lot sizes generally. The Commission unanimously
approved the Final Order embodying those findings on August 9, 2012.
In compliance with the Woodburn Development Ordinance, the Commission’s
decision was placed before the Council at the meeting of September 10. The
Council exercised its prerogative under Section 4.102.02 of the WDO to call up
the decision for review. The staff report and background information are
attached.

120-Day DeadlineOctober 26, 2012
Date of Staff ReportSeptember 17, 2012
Date of Public HearingSeptember 24, 2012
BACKGROUND ANDPROPOSAL
The property is 2 acres in area and is currently developed with asingle-family dwelling. No wetlands or
floodplains exist on the site. The property is zoned Residential Single-Family (RS). Abutting properties are
zoned Residential Single-Family and Medium Density Residential (RM).
In 2010, the Planning Commission approved a 9-lot subdivision, with variances for lot depth and area (for
two lots). The owner now requests approval for 14 lots, with variances for lot area, width, depth, street
frontage, front, side and rear setbacks, lot coverage,and street cross-section.The site does not have the 5
acres required for a Planned Unit Development(PUD). The property is not located in the nodal overlay
(which allows attached dwellings at higher density than the RS zone). The owner’s only option to develop a
small-lot subdivision is to obtain multiple variances.The proposal should be viewed as a package, with each
variance being a necessary element ofthe entire project.
The Planning Commission reviewed the proposal at its meeting of July 26, 2012. Commissioners expressed
concern over the small lot sizes and lack of yard area for children to play in.They also noted that there is a
need for small, affordable housing, and that the proposed subdivision would be consistent with other
development in the neighborhood.Commissioners expressed concern that the property would remain
undeveloped without a project such as the proposed subdivision. The Commission voted unanimously to
approve the subdivision and all its associated variances. The motion also directed Staff to prepare findings
that the approval was for a unique parcel and development proposal, and did not indicate support for smaller
lot sizes generally. The Commission unanimously approved the Final Order embodying those findings on
August 9, 2012.
In compliancewith the Woodburn Development Ordinance, the Commission’s decision was placed before
the Council at the meeting of September 10. The Council exercised its prerogative under Section 4.102.02 of
the WDO to call up the decision for review.

Note: The applicationsubmitted in April, 2012 was for a 15-lot subdivision, with Kalugin Lane having
parking on one side (necessitating a variance for common onsite parking), and with the intersection offset
from Kennedy Street. After discussions with Staff and the Woodburn Fire District, the subdivision was
redesignedwith 14 lots, wider streets with parking on both sides, and an aligned intersection. Please note
that that the original narrative, Attachment “A”, was submitted prior to the redesign and refers to the
superseded 15-lot layout.

own motion. The City Council’s decision is the City’s final decision and is appealable to the Land Use
Board of Appeals within 21 days after it becomes final.

Director’s decision for review, and shall consider:
1.
The Planning Commission or Director’s decision.
2.
The applicant and other parties shall have an opportunity to present testimony, arguments and
evidence on all applicable criteria.
3.
The City Council may limit the issues that it will allow.
4.

WDO 2.102 Residential Single Family (RS) District Standards
Findings: Section 2.102.06.A requires a minimum of 5.2 dwelling units per net acre in subdivisions.The
proposed density is 14 dwelling units on 1.3 net acres, or 10.7dwelling units per net acre.
Conclusion: The proposed subdivision complies with Section 2.102.06.A.
Note: As the proposed subdivision requires variances for most lot and development standards, those are
discussed later in this report (pages 13-18).
WDO 3.101 Street Standards
Findings:Hardcastle Avenue is the Boundary Street and also the Connecting Street for the property, as
defined in Section 1.102 and shown in Figure 6.12 of the Transportation System Plan (TSP).Hardcastle
Avenue is designated as a Service Collector in the Plan. The required cross-section for a Service Collector is
a 72-foot of right-of-way, 36 foot improved driving surface (two 12-foot traffic lanes and a 12-foot center
turn lane), 6-foot bike lanes (optional), 6-foot landscape strips and 6-foot sidewalks on both sides. The
existing cross-section of Hardcastle Avenue is a 60-foot right-of-way, improved with (south to north) a 6-
foot sidewalk, 1.5-foot planter strip, 2-foot curb and gutter, 4-foot bike lane, 11-foot travel lane, 12-foot
center turn lane, 11-foot travel lane, 4-foot bike lane, 2-foot curb and gutter, and 5-foot sidewalk.The
applicant requests an exception for the width of the travel lanes (11 feet instead of 12), bike lane (4 feet
instead of 5 feet), and planter strip (1.5 feetinstead of 6 feet).
Detail from Figure 7-2 of the Transportation System Plan
I:\Executive Legal Assistant\01 - Attorney\Council\2012\September 24\Kalugin DECDP Staff report

The preliminary subdivision plan (Exhibit B) shows 6 feet of right-of-way dedication on Hardcastle Avenue,
for a total dedication of 36 feet from centerline. The applicant has requested an Exception to Street Right-of-
Way and Improvement Requirements for Hardcastle Avenue, which is discussed later in this report (pages 8-
11).
Conclusions:The proposed subdivision complies with the right-of-way dedication requirements for a Service
Collector. The applicant must provide the full street improvements required by the Transportation System
Plan for Hardcastle Avenue, or obtain an Exception to Street Right-of-Way and Improvement Requirements,
in accordance with Section 3.101.02.D.
Findings: Section 3.101.02.F.2 requires that temporary dead-end streets have an all-weather sign at the
temporary street terminus, installed by the applicant, that states: “This Street is Planned for Future
Extension” and that the property owner provide either a one-foot reserve strip deeded to the City, or an
alternative method for limiting access approved by the City Engineer, at the temporary end of the right-of-
way. The cover sheet (Exhibit A) shows a Type III barrier and signageat the eastern terminus of Centennial
Drive.
Conclusions: The proposed development complies with Section 3.101.02.F.2. Installation of the barrier and
signage will be verified by the Public Works Department when Centennial Drive is constructed.
: Centennial Drive will function as an emergency vehicle turnaround until it is extended.
Finding
Detail of emergency vehicle turnaround from the Oregon Fire Code
Applicant’s statement:“The applicant understands the requirement for no parking on Centennial Drive until
such time as it is extended to the east. Final engineering plans will require ‘No Parking’ signs along both
sides of Centennial Drive.”
Conclusion:No on-street parking can be allowedon Centennial Drive until it is extended.

Note: As the applicant is requesting variances for the internal streets, those standards are discussed later in
this report (pages 18-21).
WDO 3.102 Utilities and Easements
Finding: Section 3.102.04.A requires dedication of easements for municipal infrastructure, if required by the
Public WorksDepartment. The Public Works Department has not requested dedication of easements, other
than those required by Section 3.102.04.B.
Conclusion: The proposed subdivisioncomplies withSection 3.102.04.A.
Findings:Section 3.102.04.B requires dedication of a 5-foot public utility easement along each lot line
abutting a street. The preliminary subdivision plan shows a 10-foot public utility easement along either side
of the street.
Conclusion: The proposed subdivisionexceeds the requirements ofSection 3.102.04.B.
WDO 3.103 Setback, Open Space and Lot Standards, Generally
Section 3.103.01 provides that setbacks define the areas within a lot that are to be retained and maintained
unobstructed by buildings and structures. The preliminary subdivision plan shows the setbacks required in
the RS zone (the correct setbacks for Lot 6 are shown in Exhibit C). The applicant is requesting variances
from the front, side, and rear setbacks, as discussed later in this report (pages 13-18).
Findings: Section 3.103.01 Setbacks and required open space define the areas within a lot that are to be
unobstructed by buildings and structures, exceptfor projections, accessory uses and structures,and for
common facilities required as a condition of a land use decision.
Conclusion:If the Councilgrants a variance for setbacks, compliance with the approved setbacks will be
verified during the building permit process.

WDO 3.104 Access
Findings: Section 3.104.01.A.1 requires that parcels have access to a public street. The site plan shows all
lots with direct access to a public right-of-way.
Conclusion: The proposed development complies with Section 3.104.01.A.
Findings:Section 3.104.03.A.2.b provides that the lot and street layout in a subdivision or PUD should be
configured so that lots abutting a major street have access to a local street. The preliminary plan shows Lot 2
taking access from Centennial Drive(a local street), not Hardcastle Avenue (a major street as defined in
Section 1.102.)
Conclusion:The proposed development complies with Section 3.104.03.A.2.b.

WDO 3.105 Off-Street Parking and Loading
Findings:Table 3.1.2 requires, for single-family or duplex dwellings, 2 off-street parking spaces per dwelling
unit in a garage. The submittal did not include floor plans.
Applicant’s statement(in Attachment B): “Final building plans shall demonstrate each dwelling unit provides
two car garages.”
Conclusions:The proposed development complies with Table 3.1.2.This will be verified during the building
permit process.
WDO 3.106 Landscaping Standards
Findings:Section 3.106.01.A exempts single-family and duplex dwellings from on-site landscaping
requirements. The proposed development is entirely single-family.
Conclusion: The proposed development is exempt from on-site landscaping requirements.
Findings:Section 3.106.03.A.1 requires that street trees be planted prior to final occupancy. Section 6.103
lists acceptable and unacceptable trees species, classified by size.Four small trees, three medium trees, or
two large trees are required per 100 feet of street frontage. The subdivision has a total street frontage of
approximately 1,020 feet. The siteplan (exhibit C) shows 25street trees, but does not identify the species.
At least 41 small trees, 31 medium trees, or 20large street trees are required prior to final occupancy. Street
tree plans are typically approved administratively during the subdivision process. Street trees,as indicated
on the plan,are then planted upon development of each abutting lot, as part of the building permit process.
The applicant proposes to plant the street trees on each lot, outside the public right-of-way.
Applicant’s statement: “Street trees are proposed at approximately 25’to 35’ intervals along the both sides of
the proposed street right-of-ways. Proposed internal streets provide curb side sidewalks with the street right-
of-way line located 1-foot behind back of sidewalk. Due to the location of the proposed right-of-way line
relative to the curbside sidewalk location, street trees must be planted beyond the street right-of-way and be
located on private property. Street trees shall be small and medium per items (1) and (2) of this section.
Street trees are located so that clear vision areas at proposed intersections are not impacted. All street trees
shall be planted prior to occupancy of each subject lot.”
Applicant’s statement(in Attachment B): “Street trees are shown on the preliminary plans at 25-foot to 35-
foot spacing. The intent of thestreet tree layout is to provide a combination of small and medium trees per

property owner shall submit a street tree plan that shows the equivalent of at least 41 small, 31 medium, or
20 large street trees (per Section 6.103) and shall identify the species of street treeto be planted. Although
the street trees are located on the lots, their planting and maintenancecan be required as conditions of
approval for the subdivision.
WDO 5.103.03 Exception to Street Right of Way and Improvement Requirements
Section 5.103.03.B provides that the purpose of a street exception is to allow a deviation from the
development standard required for the functional classification of the street identified in the Transportation
System Plan(TSP).The applicant requests an exception forHardcastle Avenue,for the width of the travel
lanes (11 feet instead of 12), bike lane (4 feet instead of 5 feet), and planter strip (1.5 feetinstead of 6 feet).
Section 5.103.03.B requires the applicant to analyze the effect of a proposed development on streets near the
development (the boundary streets and connecting streets), and on the larger transportation system.
Subsection B.1 requires an estimate of the extent to which the rights-of-way and improvements will be used
by persons served by the building or development.
Applicant’s analysisregarding Section 5.103.03.B.1: “The proposed 15-Lot subdivision consists of 11 single
family dwelling units and 4 attached single family dwelling units. Trip generation is calculated using the
Eight Edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip generation manual. [Note: This analysis
was submitted before the subdivision plans were revised to 14 lots.]

The right-of-way improvement exception has been required by the City of Woodburn so that future widening
of Hardcastle Ave can be completed as one project. The Owner is fully prepared and willing to construct any
required street widening improvements along the projects frontage with Hardcastle Ave at the time of
development. The owner understands the desire of the City of Woodburn to postpone street widening
improvements until all required right-of-way is acquired and an actual need is identified. The Owner will
willingly agree to a waiver of non-remonstrance for the subject roadway improvements. The City of
Woodburn Traffic System Plan identifies Hardcastle Ave as a Service Collector facility in the vicinity of the
project. The existing right-of-way of Hardcastle is 60’ along the projects frontage. The required right-of-
way for a Service Collector is 72’. The City of Woodburn has required a 6’ right-of-way dedication along
the projects frontage. The existing roadway width is 44’ and the minimum width for a Service Collector is
48’. The current lane configuration conforms tothe Service Collector standards providing two bike lanes,
two travel lanes and a center turn lane. Existing lane widths are slightly below the minimum Service
Collector standard,specifically the existing bike lane widths. A 2’ wide planter strip is currently provided on
the south side of Hardcastle Ave along the projects frontage; 6’ wide planter strips are required on a Service
Collector. Based on the existing roadway cross section of Hardcastle Ave and the full build out Service
Collector cross section identified in the TSP, it appears that most of the future street widening will be used to
increase existing planter strips from 2’ to 6’ in width. An additional 4’ will be needed to increase both
existing bike lanes from 4’ to 6’. It does not appear any additional width is required for the two existing
drive lanes and center turn lane. Future roadway widening efforts described above will not provide any
additional roadway capacity to Hardcastle Ave in the vicinity of the project. As such, the proposed
development will not realize any substantial benefit from the proposed future roadway widening project from
a roadway capacity viewpoint.”

th
Findings regarding Section 5.103.03.B.1: The Institute of Traffic Engineer’s Trip Generation Manual (7
edition) estimates 9.57 average daily trips per dwelling unit. The proposed subdivision will entail a net
increase of 13 dwelling units and can be expected to generate an additional 120average daily trips on
Hardcastle Avenue. Neither conventional traffic counts, nor the ITE Trip Generation Manual, account for
non-vehicular traffic. The sidewalks are required by the Transportation System Plan for safety. The
landscape strip is required by the Transportation System Plan as a standard of aesthetics. The specified
improvements are needed to provide vehicle and non-motorized transportation facilities throughout the street
corridor. Traffic counts from August, 2008 show 1,177 average daily trips on Hardcastle Avenue, at a
location approximately one block east of the property.
Conclusions regarding Section 5.103.03.B.1: Users of the proposed subdivision will use Hardcastle Avenue
for both their vehicular and non-motorized traffic needs, for safety as well as convenience. The proposed
subdivision will generate approximately a 10 percent increase in vehicular trips per day on Hardcastle
Avenue.
Subsection B.2 requires an estimate of the improvements needed to meet the estimated use of the building or
development.
: “The proposed development provides access to
Applicant’s analysisregarding Section 5.103.03.B.2
Hardcastle Ave. Future street improvements to Hardcastle Ave will move the subject intersection south
approximately 6 feet. The intersection will experience the same intensity of use before and after the subject
street widening efforts. As described above, future roadway widening efforts will not increase the capacity
of Hardcastle Ave in the vicinity of the project. The street widening efforts will primarily increase existing
planter strips from 2’ to 6’ wide and provide minor improvements to the width of existing bike lanes. As
such, the proposed development requires no right-of-way improvements from a vehicular capacity
viewpoint.”
Findings regarding Section 5.103.03.B.2: The proposed subdivision will generate an approximately 9 percent
increase in vehicular trips per day on Hardcastle Avenue. The existing cross-section of Hardcastle Avenue is
a 60-foot right-of-way, improved with (south to north) a 6-foot sidewalk, 1.5-foot planter strip, 2-foot curb
and gutter, 4-foot bike lane, 11-foot travel lane, 12-foot center turn lane, 11-foot travel lane, 4-foot bike lane,
2-foot curb and gutter, and 5-foot sidewalk.
Conclusions regarding Section 5.103.03.B.2: No improvements to Hardcastle Avenue are needed to
accommodate the increase in traffic attributable to the proposed subdivision. It is reasonable to require the
property owner to participate in the cost of providing all improvements required by the Transportation
System Plan for Hardcastle Avenue. The property owner should enter into a non-remonstrance agreement to
participate in the cost of reconstructing Hardcastle Avenue to the standards of the Transportation System
Plan when such reconstruction becomes timely.
Subsection B.3 requires an estimate of the impact the building or development will have on the larger public
infrastructure system.

: “Since the proposed street widening provides no
Applicant’s analysisregarding Section 5.103.03.B.3
additional travel lanes, and primarily is intended to increase the planter strip width, it is considered a
beatification project rather than a roadway capacity project. Therefore, roadway capacity will not be
improved along Hardcastle Ave in the vicinity of the project as result of future street widening
improvements. The proposed intersection with Hardcastle will operate in an identical fashion both before
and after the subject roadway widening.”
Findings regarding Section 5.103.03.B.3: The proposed subdivision will generate an approximately 10
percent increase in vehicular trips per day on Hardcastle Avenue. The traffic impact on the larger public
infrastructure system is substantially smaller than the impact on Hardcastle Avenue.
Conclusions regarding Section 5.103.03.B.3: No immediate improvements to the larger public infrastructure
system are needed to accommodate the increase in traffic attributable to the proposed subdivision. System
Development Charges (SDCs) will be collected to fund improvements to the larger public infrastructure
system.
Subsection B.4 requires an estimate of the improvements needed to mitigate the impact of the building or
development on the larger public infrastructure system.
: “As described in detail in the preceding sections, future
Applicant’s analysisregarding Section 5.103.03.B.4
widening of Hardcastle Ave in the vicinity of the project will not provide additional capacity. The proposed
project does not create a need for any improvements to Hardcastle Ave. Therefore, there is no need for
mitigation resulting from impacts to the public infrastructure system by the proposed development.”
Findings regarding Section 5.103.03.B.4: The proposed subdivision will generate an approximately 9 percent
increase in vehicular trips per day on Hardcastle Avenue. The traffic impact on the larger public
infrastructure system is substantially smaller than the impact on Hardcastle Avenue.
Conclusions regarding Section 5.103.03.B.4: No immediate improvements to the larger public infrastructure
system are needed to accommodate the increase in traffic attributable to the proposed subdivision. System
Development Charges (SDC’s) will be collected to fund improvements to the larger public infrastructure
system.
: Section 5.103.03.C prohibits exceptions from construction specifications. The applicant has not

Findings
a street exception. As specified in Section 3.101.02.D.1 and 2, the minimum standard for safety is a curb and
10-foot wide travel lane in each direction, drainage facilities, pedestrian and bikeway facilities located on one
side of the street, and full improvement of the street from the center line to the boundary of the subject
property. As a Service Collector, the required cross-section for a Hardcastle Avenue is a 72-foot of right-of-
way, 36-foot improved driving surface (two 12-foot traffic lanes and a 12-foot center turn lane), 6-foot bike
lanes (optional), 6-foot landscape strips and 6-foot sidewalks on both sides. The existing cross-section of
Hardcastle Avenue is a 60-foot right-of-way, improved with (south to north) a 6-foot sidewalk, 1.5-foot
planter strip, 2-foot curb and gutter, 4-foot bike lane, 11-foot travel lane, 12-foot center turn lane, 11-foot
travel lane, 4-foot bike lane, 2-foot curb and gutter, and 5-foot sidewalk.
Conclusions: Hardcastle Avenue meets the specified minimum standards of safety. A street exception is not
precluded by Section 5.103.03.D.
Summary of conclusions regarding the street exception:
Requiring the applicant to build the boundary
and connecting streets to the cross-section specified in the Transportation System Plan would exceed the
applicant’s proportional share of the public improvements. It is, however, reasonable to require the property
owner to bear a portion of the improvement costs for Hardcastle Avenue. A non-remonstrance agreement for
public improvements could be required as a condition of approval for the street exception.
WDO 5.103.10 Subdivision Preliminary Approval
Findings: Section 5.103.10.B.1 requires that a subdivision not impede the future best use of the remainder of
the property or development of adjoining land. The current application includes all contiguous land owned
by the applicant. The subdivision design does not restrict access to, or development of, abutting properties.
Applicant’s statement: “The proposed subdivision fully develops the subject properties. The property
immediatelywest of the site is fully developed. The extension of Centennial Dr through the site alignswith
an existing ROW on Tax Lot 5803. Tax Lot 5900 is adjacent to the east property line of the development
and between the existing and proposed Centennial Dr right-of-waydiscussed above. At the time Tax Lot
5900 develops, completion of the Centennial Driveright-of-way through the property will provide for full
access for optimal development.”
Conclusion: The proposed subdivision complies with Section 5.103.10.B.1.
Findings:Section 5.103.10.B.2 requires that a subdivision be served with City streets, water, sewer and storm
drainage facilities with adequate capacity. The Public Works Department reports that the development can

be served by the existing systems.
Applicant’s statement: “The proposed street system connects to Hardcastle Ave and provides an extension of
Centennial Dr which aligns with the existing Centennial Dr right-of-way east of the project. Public water,
sanitary sewer and storm drainage infrastructure is available within Hardcastle Ave and is proposed to be
extended to and through the development. Sanitarysewer and storm sewer have adequate depth within
Hardcastle Ave to serve the development by gravity piping systems. Existing water and sanitary sewer
infrastructureprovide adequate capacity to serve the proposed development. Storm drainage detention will
be provided, by use of oversized stormwater piping and a flow control manhole detention structure,
attenuating post developed runoff to the pre-developed rate for the City of Woodburn design storm events.”
Conclusion: The proposed subdivision complies with Section 5.103.10.B.2.
Findings: Section 5.103.10.B.3 requires that the plan for the development takes into account topography,
vegetation and other natural features of the site.
Applicant’s statement: “The proposed development is extremely flat providing approximately 1’ of elevation
difference across the 2 acre site. The public street serving the development will be designed such that
proposed lots may drain toward the new street. The site is currently a predominately grass field with other
insignificant vegetation. There are no drainage wayson the site or other significant natural features. There
are 6 existing trees proposed to be removed from the site and 25 street trees proposed to be planted along the
proposed public streets.”
Conclusion: The proposed subdivision complies with Section 5.103.10.B.3.
Findings: Section 5.103.10.B.4 requires that adequate measures be taken to alleviate identified hazards and
limitations to development from wetlands and geologically unstable soil. There are no wetlands or unstable
soil identified on the property.
Applicant’s statement: “a. There are no identified wetlands on the subject properties.
b. The site is relatively flat presenting no steep slope stability concerns. Roadwaystructural sections
shall be designed with consideration of existing onsite soils. Roadway base rock and asphalt sections
may be increased as required during construction if localized areas of subgrade instability are
identified.”
Conclusion:The proposed subdivision complies with Section 5.103.10.B.4.

Conclusion: The proposed subdivision complies with Section 5.103.10.B.5.
WDO 5.103.12 Variance (lot and development standards)
Findings:Section 5.103.12.A provides that the purpose of a variance is to allow use of a property in a way
that would otherwise be prohibited by this ordinance. Uses not allowed in a particular zone are not subject to
the variance process.The variances requested are for dimensional standards, not for land uses.
Conclusion:The proposed subdivision complies with Section 5.103.12.A.
Findings:Section 5.103.12.B provides that a variance from development standards may be granted when
strict adherence to the standards of the WDOis not possible, or imposes an excessive burden on the property
owner, and when variance to the standards will not unreasonably impact existing or potential uses or
development on the subject property, or on adjacent properties.

Applicant’s statement regarding the proposed variances: “The proposed Kalugin Estates Subdivision is
located on approximately 1.98 acres of property. The subject property is approximately 550 feet deep,
perpendicular to Hardcastle Ave, and approximately 170 feet wide. In order to develop the site in a manner
typical of subdivisions, it isnecessary to construct a north-south public street in the middle of the property
with lots located on both sides as shown on the drawings submitted with this application.
Creating a north-south public street in the middle of the subject property causes the lot depths on either side
of the street to be less than minimum WDO standards. A reduction in lot depths causes the need to reduce
I:\Executive Legal Assistant\01 - Attorney\Council\2012\September 24\Kalugin DECDP Staff report
Council.docx Page 18 of 32
33
lot areas, widths and setbacks. In order to balance the reduction in lot depths, the street right-of-way width is
proposed to be reduced by providing curb side sidewalks.
In order to reduce the number of variances required to develop the subject property, a property line public
street would be required with lots on only one side. While strict adherence to the WDO could then be
achieved, an unwanted nuisance is created for the property abutting a fully developed public street. While
abutting property owners have an expectation that vacant land will someday be developed, is it expected that
residential lots will abut common property lines, not roadways. If a public street were constructed adjacent
to an existing residential property, the resulting noise and visual impacts greatly exceed those of the abutting
residential lots as proposed. Constructing the required public street down the middle of the property ensures
adjacent residential properties abut new residential lots, not a public street. In addition to allowing the
subject property to develop in a manner consistent with typical subdivisions, constructing lots along abutting
property lines achieves the intent of the WDO although requires several variances to specific standards.
Since the existing property is only 170 feet in width, providing a north-south street perpendicular to
Hardcastle Ave down the middle of the site results in lots that do not conform to minimum WDO standards.
By locating the required public street along an existing property line, lots may only be provided on one side
of the roadway which is inconsistent with industry standard practices for development of residential
subdivisions, and is economically infeasible. While the proposed residential subdivision requires several
variances, it in fact provides the highest and best use of the property by maximizing the buildable land
inventory of this infill project and locating public streets as far as possible from neighboring residential
properties.”
Findings:Section 5.103.12.C lists five factors to be used as a guide in deliberating the application. These are
discussed in detail for each requested variance on pages 12-39 of the applicant’s submittal, which is
incorporated into this staff report as Attachments A and B. In the following analysis, the applicant’s
statements have been summarized, and the reader is referred to Attachments A and B for thecomplete text of
the statements.
Section 5.103.12.C.1: The variance is needed to prevent unnecessary hardship relating to the land or
structure, which would cause the property to be unbuildable by application of the WDO. Factors to consider
in determining whether hardship existsinclude:
Physical circumstances over which the applicant has no control,related to the piece of property
involved, that distinguish it from other land in the zone, including, but not limited to lot size, shape,
or topography;
Whether reasonable use,similar to other properties, can be made of the property without the
variance;
Whether the hardship was created by the person requesting the variance.

The existing property is
Summary of Applicant’s statements regarding the criteria of Section 5.103.12.C.1:
approximately 170 feet wide. In order to develop the subject property in traditional subdivision
configuration, residential lots are required on both sides of a public street serving the development. Locating
a public street running north-south down the middle of the property results in lots that are below the
minimum standard.
In order to develop the subject property in a manner typical of residential subdivisions, lots need to be
located on both sides of the proposed north-south public street. Constructing a property line public street
with lots on only one side is not considered a typical subdivision development approach. Constructing half
street improvements is a common practice in subdivision development when adjacent properties would
ultimately develop the other half of the roadway. Since development of the subject property requires
construction of a full width public street, lots are needed on both sides in order for the project to be
economically feasible.
The property owner purchased the property intending to develop the land into a residential subdivision. The
owner has no mechanism by which to increase the width of the subject property and achieve minimum WDO
requirements for the proposed lots.
Findings regarding Section 5.103.12.C.1: The property is distinguished from other land in the zone by its
width (not wide enough for conventional lots on both sides, but wide enough to be developed with small lots
on both sides.) It is also unique in the configuration of abutting streets (Hardcastle Avenue and Centennial
Drive.) The owner asserts that the variances are necessary to make reasonable use of the property.
Section 5.103.12.C.2: Development consistent with the request will not be materially injurious to adjacent
properties. Factors to be considered in determining whether development consistent with the variance would
be materially injurious include,but are not limited to:
Physical impacts such development will have because of the variance, such as visual, noise, traffic
and drainage, erosion and landslide hazards;
Incremental impacts occurring as a result of the proposed variance.
Summary of Applicant’s statements regarding the criteria of Section 5.103.12.C.2: The proposed subdivision
abuts Medium Density Residential (RM) to the west and Single Family Residential (RS) to the east. The
subject property abuts the Woodburn city limits to the south. Reducing the required depth of the subject lots
has no material impact on adjacent properties.
The subject property is zoned RS which allows development of the single family lots proposed. Allowing
construction of the subject lots along abutting property lines is standard for residential subdivisions. While
abutting property owners have an expectation that vacant land will someday be developed, is it expected that
residential lots will abut common property lines, not roadways. If the required roadway were constructed
along an abutting property line, then the proposed lots would be in substantial conformance with the WDO
I:\Executive Legal Assistant\01 - Attorney\Council\2012\September 24\Kalugin DECDP Staff report
Council.docx Page 20 of 32
35
although the impact to the neighboring property abutting the roadway would be far greater than the minimal
additional residential lots created by approval of the requested variances.
A site-obscuring fence is proposed along the west, south and eastern property lines which will reduce the
visual impact of the proposed development on adjoining properties. Noise impacts are not expected to
increase as residential development is not a prohibitive noise-generating land use. Traffic will increase
slightly as a result of the development, although the impact is negligible relative to existing traffic volumes
on Hardcastle Ave in the vicinity of the project.
Storm drainage runoff from the post developed site will be attenuated to the predeveloped rate with a
detention system causing no additional impacts. There are no erosion or landslide concerns associated with
the existing property or proposed development.
All of the requested variances, except [side setback]are directly related to the existing width of the subject
property. While the subject variances are all interrelated and incremental in nature, no further variances
beyond those requested are required to develop the subject property in a manner consistent with traditional
subdivisions.
Findings regarding Section 5.103.12.C.2: The development allowed by the requested variances is not
anticipated to be materially injurious to adjacent properties, either through physical impacts such as visual,
noise, traffic and drainage, erosion and landslide hazards, or through incremental impacts occurring as a
result of the proposed variances.The adjacent property to the west is zoned Medium Density Residential
(RM) and is developed with duplexes. The adjacent property to the east is zoned Single-Family Residential
(RS) and is developed with a single-family dwelling. The proposed subdivision is transitional between the
two development types.
Section 5.103.12.C.3: Existing physical and natural systems, such as, but not limited to,traffic, drainage,
dramatic land forms or parks will not be adversely affected because of the variance.
Summary of Applicant’s statements regarding the criteria of Section 5.103.12.C.3:Traffic will increase
slightly as a result of the development, although the impact is negligible relative to existing traffic volumes
on Hardcastle Ave in the vicinity of the project. Storm drainage runoff from the post developed site will be
attenuated to the predeveloped rate with a detention system causing no additionalimpacts. There are no
significant land forms or parks located within the vicinity of the proposed development.
Findings regarding Section 5.103.12.C.3: The development allowed by the requested variances is not
anticipated to affect drainage or other physical or natural systems. There are no dramatic land forms nearby.
Nelson Park, the nearest public park, is approximately 1,100 feet away by road.
Section 5.103.12.C.4: The variance is the minimum deviation necessary to make reasonable economic use of
the property.

Summary of Applicant’s statements regarding the criteria of Section 5.103.12.C.4
approximately 170 feet wide. In order to develop the subject property in traditional subdivision
configuration, residential lots are required on both sides of a public street serving the development. All of
the proposed variances are the minimum required to allow the property to develop in a manner typical of
subdivisions. If lots could only be constructed on one side of a public street, itwould be economically
infeasible to develop the subject property.
Findings regarding Section 5.103.12.C.4:The proposed small-lot subdivision, with lots on both sides of
Kalugin Lane,increases the number of lots available to support the cost of necessary infrastructure
improvements. The owner asserts that the variances are necessary to make reasonable economic use of the
property.
Section 5.103.12.C.5: The variance does not conflict with the Woodburn Comprehensive Plan.
Summary of Applicant’s statements regarding the criteria of Section 5.103.12.C.5:The Woodburn
Comprehensive Plan does not specifically address lot dimensional or area standards. The only consideration
in the comprehensive plan relevant to the proposed variance is buildable land inventory. The comprehensive
plan clearly indicates a need for all types of residential housing including the subject Low Density
Residential designation. Approval of the requested variance will allow the property to develop in a manner
typical of subdivisions and optimize the number of lots within this infill project. Allowing the property to
fully develop, through approval of this variance, is in keeping with the identified need for additional
buildable land.
Findings regarding Section 5.103.12.C.5:Comprehensive Plan policy D-2.2 states that it is the policy of the
City to encourage a variety of housing types to accommodate the demands of the local housing market.
Policy D2.6 states thatWoodburn is committed to providing affordable homeownership opportunities to its
citizens. For this reason, Woodburn zoning regulations will allow row houses (attached single-family
homes) and detached single-family homes on smaller lots (4,000 sq. ft. minimums) within Nodal
Development areas.The site does not have the 5 acres required for a Planned Unit Development. The
property is not located in the nodal overlay (which allows attached dwellings at higher density than the RS
zone). The owner’s only option to develop a small-lot subdivision is to obtain multiple variances. The
property is zoned Residential Single-Family (RS) and is designated Low Density Residential on the
Comprehensive Plan Map. The proposed use of the property is single-family residential. Abutting properties
are zoned Residential Single-Family (RS) and Medium Density Residential (RM), and are designated Low
Density Residential and Medium Density Residential on the Comprehensive Plan Map.
Conclusions regarding Section 5.103.12.C: The property is not “unbuildable by application of the WDO.”
The requested variances would not alter existing patterns of traffic or drainage, or other physical or natural
systems, or be materially injurious to adjacent properties. The requested variances do not conflict with the
Woodburn Comprehensive Plan, and will further the policy of providing a variety of housing types and
affordable homeownership opportunities.

WDO 5.103.12 Variance (street cross-section)
Findings:Section 5.103.12.A provides that the purpose of a variance is to allow use of a property in a way
that would otherwise be prohibited by this ordinance. Uses not allowed in a particular zone are not subject to
the variance process.The variances requested are for dimensional standards, not for land uses.
Conclusion:The proposed subdivision complies with Section 5.103.12.A.
Section 5.103.12.B provides that a variance from development standards may be granted when strict
adherence to the standards of the WDO is not possible, or imposes an excessive burden on the property
owner, and when variance to the standards will not unreasonably impact existing or potential uses or
development on the subject property or adjacent properties.
The applicant has requested variances for right-of-way width (47 feet instead of 60 feet) and planter strip
(none instead of 7 feet, with street trees located on propertyinstead of in a planter strip).
: The applicant has requested variances for the cross-sections ofKalugin Lane and Centennial Drive.

Proposed cross-section of Kalugin Lane and Centennial Drive
Findings:Section 5.103.12.C lists five factors to be used as a guide in deliberations on the application.
Section 5.103.12.C.1: The variance is necessary to prevent unnecessary hardship relating to the land or
structure, which would cause the property to be unbuildable by application of the WDO.Factors to consider
in determining whether hardship exists, include:
Physical circumstances over which the applicant has no control,related to the piece of property
involved, that distinguish it from other land in the zone, including, but not limited to, lot size, shape,
or topography;
Whether reasonable use,similar to other properties, can be made of the property without the
variance;
Whether the hardship was created by the person requesting the variance.
Applicant’s statements regarding the criteria ofSection 5.103.12.C.1: “a. The existing property is
approximately 170 feet wide. In order to develop the subject property in traditional subdivision
configuration, residential lots are required on both sides of a public street serving the development. Locating
a public street running north-south down the middle of the property results in lots that are below the
minimum depth standard. In order to minimize the reduction in lot depth, in consideration of creating
buildable lots, a reduction in the street right-of-way width is required. In order to reduce the street right-of-
way width, a reduction in the street width and construction of curb side sidewalks is required.
b. In order to develop the subject property in a manner typical of residential subdivisions, lots need to be
located on both sides of the proposed north-south public street. Constructing a property line public street with
I:\Executive Legal Assistant\01 - Attorney\Council\2012\September 24\Kalugin DECDP Staff report
Council.docx Page 24 of 32
39
lots on only one side is not considered a typical subdivision development approach. Constructing half street
improvements is a common practice in subdivision development when adjacent properties would ultimately
develop the other half of the roadway. Since development of the subject property requires construction of a
full width public street, lots are needed on both sides in order for the project to be economically feasible.
c. The property owner purchased the property intending to develop the land into a residential subdivision.
The owner has no mechanism by which to increase the width of the subject property and achieve minimum
WDO street standard requirements for the proposed development.”
Findings regarding Section 5.103.12.C.1: The property is distinguished from other land in the zone by its
shape and the configuration of abutting streets (Hardcastle Avenue and Centennial Drive). The requested
variance does not involve the driving or parking lanes, or affect the functionality for vehicular traffic.
Section 5.103.12.C.2: Development consistent with the request will not be materially injurious to adjacent
properties. Factors to be considered in determining whether development consistent with the variance
materially injurious include but are not limited to:
Physical impacts such development will have because of the variance, such as visual, noise, traffic
and drainage, erosion and landslide hazards.
Incremental impacts occurring as a result of the proposed variance.
Applicant’s statement regarding the criteria of Section 5.103.12.C.2:“a. Development of the subject property
requires construction of internal public streets. Reducing the right-of-way width as requested has no impact.
Reducing the street width as requested is already under consideration by the City of Woodburn indicating an
acceptable roadway configuration. Providing curb side sidewalks in lieu of setback sidewalks will create a
different visual appearance from current City standards. In order to mitigate the visual difference between
curb side and setback sidewalks, street trees would be planted outside the public right-of-way instead of
inside a roadway planter strip. Maintenance of street trees planted outside the public right-of-way may be the
responsibility of private home owners at the discretion of the City of Woodburn.
b. All of the requested variances, except Variance #9, are directly related to the existing width of the subject
property. While the subject variances are all interrelated and incremental in nature, no further variances
beyond those requested are required to develop the subject property in a manner consistent with traditional
subdivisions.”
Findings regarding Section 5.103.12.C.2: The development allowed by the requested variances is not
anticipated to be materially injurious to adjacent properties, either through physical impacts such as visual,
noise, traffic and drainage, erosion and landslide hazards, or through incremental impacts occurring as a
result of the proposed variance.The requested variance does not involve the driving or parking lanes, or
affect the functionality for vehicular traffic.

Section 5.103.12.C.3: Existing physical and natural systems, such as, but not limited to,traffic, drainage,
dramatic land forms or parks will not be adversely affected because of the variance.
:“Traffic will increase slightly as a

result of the development, although the impact is negligible relative to existing traffic volumes on Hardcastle
Ave in the vicinity of the project. Storm drainage runoff from the post developed site will be attenuated to
the predeveloped rate with a detention system causing no additional impacts. There are no significant land
forms or parks located within the vicinity of the proposed development.”
Findings regarding Section 5.103.12.C.3: The development allowed by the requested variances is not
anticipated to affect drainage or other physical or natural systems. There are no dramatic land forms nearby.
Nelson Park, the nearest public park, is approximately 1,100 feet away by road.
Section 5.103.12.C.4: The variance is the minimum deviation necessary to make reasonable economic use of
the property.
Applicant’s statements regarding the criteria of Section 5.103.12.C.4:“The existing property is
approximately 170 feet wide. In order to develop the subject property in traditional subdivision
configuration, residential lots are required on both sides of a public street serving the development. All of
the proposed variances are the minimum required to allow the property to develop in a manner typical of
subdivisions. If lots could only be constructed on one side of a public street, it would be economically
infeasible to develop the subject property.”
Findings regarding Section 5.103.12.C.4:The requested variancedoes not involve the driving or parking
lanes, or affect the functionality for vehicular traffic.
Section 5.103.12.C.5: The variance does not conflict with the Woodburn Comprehensive Plan.
Applicant’s statements regarding the criteria of Section 5.103.12.C.5:“The Woodburn Comprehensive Plan
does not specifically address lot dimensional or area standards. The only consideration in the comprehensive

Findings regarding Section 5.103.12.C.5:Goal H-2 of the Comprehensive Plan is to develop a street system
that will handle projected year 2020 traffic demands in the Woodburn area, and interconnects residential
areas with employment centers, schools, parks, churches, and regional transportation facilities.The property
is zoned Residential Single-Family (RS) and is designated Low Density Residential on the Comprehensive
Plan Map. The proposed use of the property is single-family residential. Abutting properties are zoned
Residential Single-Family (RS) and Medium Density Residential (RM), and are designated Low Density

41
Residential and Medium Density Residential on the Comprehensive Plan Map. The proposed design
anticipates the future extension of Centennial Driveto provide looped traffic flow.
: The property is not “unbuildable by application of the WDO.”
Conclusions regarding Section 5.103.12.C
The requested variances would not alter existing patterns of traffic or drainage, or other physical or natural
systems, or be materially injurious to adjacent properties. The requested variances do not conflict with the
Woodburn Comprehensive Plan.
Overall Summary
The proposed small-lot subdivision is similar to a Planned Unit Development (PUD). Since the land does
not meet the minimum area requirement for a PUD,this package of variances is the only option to implement
the proposed development. The proposal should be viewed as a package, with eachvariance being a
necessary element of the entire project.
Agency Comments
The Public Works Department made the following comments, to be resolved prior to approval of the final
plat:
Actual Geodetic Elevations are required for all storm and sanitary sewer facilities.
Public Works needs to obtain the revised storm drainage report for this subdivision.
Sewer laterals for Lots 8, 9, 11, 12, and 13 are in conflict with the proposed tree locations.
The PUE is not shown on the preliminary plat sheet – the PUE needs to be shown on this sheet.
Centennial Drive should be 34” wide throughout the development; the transition to 29’ should occur
with the future easterly development.
Ensure that all proposed homes can be reached per Woodburn Fire District requirements (250’).
Sanitary sewer lateral and water line are too close to each other for Lots 12 and 6.
Sanitary sewer lateral and water line to Fire Hydrant are too close to each other for Lot 15.

The Building Official made the following comments:
Because the proposed houses will be built to the setback lines (with no room for error), foundation
surveys will be required aspart of the building permit and construction process.
A 12’ front setback with a 10’ PUE leaves an inadequate angle of repose to the foundation if a
utility is trenched in at the edge of the PUE. A narrower PUE, limiting excavation to a narrower
area, or requiring deeper foundations in front could resolve this issue.

Agenda Item
September 24, 2012
TO:Honorable Mayor and City Councilthrough City Administrator
FROM:Christina Shearer,Acting Finance Director
SUBJECT:
Woodburn Ambulance Franchise
:
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Ordinance.
:
BACKGROUND
In 2002 the City and Woodburn Ambulance Service, Inc. (WAS) entered into a 10
year nonexclusive franchise agreement to provide emergency ambulance
services within the city limits. During the course of the agreement, WAS has
complied with all provisions of the franchise and remains in good standing in
respect to the franchise and county plan.
At your last meeting, on September 10, 2012, a public hearing was held and the
City Council indicated it wanted to proceed with the adoption of a new
franchise. Since the currentfranchise agreement expires on October 1, 2012, an
emergency clause is included in the ordinance so that franchised ambulance
service can continue.
:
DISCUSSION
The Franchise grants the operator the right to use the public rights of way to
provide emergency transportation of persons suffering from illness, injury or
disability. The Franchise is not exclusive, and the City reserves the right to grant a
similaruse of public rights of way toanyother person at any time during the
period of the Franchise, provided said person complies with the regulations of
the ASA Plan and with Oregon state law.
Other highlights of the new Franchise include:
The Franchise would be valid for a period often (10) years following the
effective date.

Extension of WAVE Cable Television Franchise
:
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the ordinance amending Ordinance 2307 (the WAVE cable television
franchise) to extend the franchise expiration dateuntil December 31, 2012.
:
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
As the City Council is aware, during the past few months, the City has been in
the process of franchise renewal discussions with WAVE representatives.
OnJune 11, 2012, WAVE gave the City formal notice of its “transfer of control”
filing with the Federal Communications Commission. This WAVE restructuring
involved a change in private equity financing. Citystaff was able to review the
voluminous amount of material required to be submitted and meet the federally
required timeline of 120 days. On staff’s recommendation, the City Council
approved WAVE’s transfer of control on August 13, 2012.
While the cable television franchise negotiations have been amicable and are
ongoing, they have beeninterrupted by WAVE’s “transfer of control”
application and other competing matters.
Both WAVE’s legal counsel and City staff request that the City Council adopt the
franchise extension ordinance.
An emergency clause is included so that WAVE can continue to operate its
cable television system during the negotiation period.

SUBJECT:
Bargaining Agreement with Local 642, AFSCME
:
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the attached resolution authorizing execution of a collective bargaining
agreement with the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal
Employees, Local 642.
:
BACKGROUND
In May 2012, AFSCME and the City opened bargaining for the contract year
beginning July 1, 2012. Based on the results of negotiations conducted
pursuant to your guidance, a tentative three year agreement was reached with
AFSCME. The agreement was ratified by a majority of the AFSCME membership
on September 18, 2012.
:
DISCUSSION
Ratification of the new three year collective bargaining agreementrepresents a
real achievement for both the City and the Union. The bargaining process was
conducted professionally at all times and it allowed us to focus on important
issues with very positive outcomes.
Major accomplishments include the following:
1.A total revamp of our health benefits plan that puts more responsibility on
the individual employee to “manage” their utilization. This is achieved
through the adoption of the CIS high deductible health plan structure.
Also, importantly significant savings arerealized by the City, especially
important was our maintaining the 85%-15% premium share arrangement.
2.A restructure of the wage schedule that recognizes critical positions while
at the same time gives everyone at least one pay increase over the term
of the contract; total wage costs for the 3-year Agreement are
Agenda Item Review:City Administrator __x____City Attorney __x____Finance __x___

Honorable Mayor and City Council

Page 2
approximately 2%. We also have added important new language that
begins to incentivize certain public works positions.
3.Improved contracting workforce language should we need it. The new
language now more accurately reflects our actual work environment. This
is especially important should we have a future need for further reductions
and/or layoffs.
4.A new substance abuse policy that is very nearly the same language as
what we have with the WPA.
5.Improved leave language requiring a higher standard of documentation
for missed work time.
6.Improved contract administration flexibility, our overall ability to
“manage” various contract requirements such as pay period
configuration, streamlined grievance language, and many
“housekeeping” changes because of compliance and/or operational
needs.
In summary, these are very difficult times to be negotiating labor agreements.
Through hard work by many people on the management team and a lot of
meetings we are able say that we have an agreement that will provide us with
the operational flexibility we need in these highly uncertain times.
:
FINANCIAL IMPACT
As previously presented to the City Council, the proposed contract represents
savings in overall health care costs, makes modest adjustments to some
compensation packages and meets the City Council’s financial objectives per
the Councils adopted Five Year Financial Forecast and Budget Policies.

ARTICLE I–RECOGNITION
1.1 INCLUDED POSITIONS:
The City recognizes the Union as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for full-time and part-time (regularly scheduled
to work 20 hours per week or more) employees in the bargaining unit with respect to matters relating to wages, hours,
and working conditions. Appendix A, attached hereto and by reference incorporated herein, is a listing of all bargaining
unit employees. Supervisory employees and confidential employees as governed by State statute, irregular part-time
employees regularly scheduled to work less than twenty (20) hours per week (except in circumstances that they must
replace full-time and part-time employees on a temporary basis), seasonal and special projects employees, who shall not
be employed by the City for more than nine (9) months in any calendar year, and persons hired for a limited period of
time for training funded in whole or in part, by the state, federal, or other governmental unit are specifically excluded.
1.2 NEW POSITIONS:
In the event the City creates a new classification or revises a current classification that would place the classification in
the bargaining unit, the Union will be notified of such classification before any employees are hired in such new
classification. If the Union disagrees with the proposed salary range, the Union shall notify the City within fifteen (15)
days in writing if it wishes to discuss the wage or other conditions of employment for the classification, and an additional
fifteen (15) days in which to commence discussion on the issue. If the parties are not in agreement over the proposed
salary range or other issues, the City may fill the position with its proposed salary rate serving as a provisional salary rate
until the above-described discussions have resulted in an agreement on the issue. If the parties subsequently agree
upon a salary rate that is different than the initial City-proposed rate, such agreed-upon rate shall be retroactive to the
date that the position was filled.
ARTICLE 2-UNION RIGHTS
2.1 FAIR SHARE:
1.The City agrees to deduct the uniformly required Union membership dues and other authorized fees or
assessments once each month from the pay of those employees who have authorized such deductions in
writing. Except as provided in the following, an amount equal to the prorate share of the bona fide cost to the
Union of representation of the unit, as certified by the Union to the City, the fair share amount will be deducted
from the pay of employees in the bargaining unit who have not provided the City with such authorization, with
such amount to be deducted thirty (30) days after their date of hire. Such fair share amount shall not exceed the
amount of Union dues. The amounts so deducted, both fair share and Union dues, shall be remitted on a
monthly basis. The aggregate deductions of all employees shall be remitted by Automatic Clearing House (ACH)

day of the succeeding month after such deductions are made. Such itemized statement shall also include a list of
the employees subject to the deduction. The City agrees to deliver all notices through its internal routing system
to fair share payers when requested by the union to do so. Said notices will be delivered to the City, addressed
to each individual fair share payer.
2.The provisions of Section 1 hereof shall not apply if an employee objects in writing to the City, based on such
employee's membership in a bona fide church or religious group whose tenets or teachings are contrary to such
payment. The City will provide the Union with a copy of any such letter within five (5) days of its receipt. In such
instances, the employee shall authorize a deduction from his or her pay which is equal to the fair share amount.
Such payroll deduction shall be in addition to any previously established deduction and shall be for the United
Fund or other mutually satisfactory charitable organization as agreed to between the employee and the Union.
For the purpose of calculating months to determine the beginning or end of the payroll deductions called for in Sections
1 or 2 of this Article, dues or like amounts shall be deducted for any calendar month during which the employee works
ten (10) days or more.

no obligation to hold such meetings during the paid time of the stewards and other employees attending same. Except
as provided above, all time taken off by stewards shall be without pay. It shall be the responsibility of each individual
employee to provide reasonable advance notice to his or her immediate supervisor when time away from the job will be
required under this section. Union Business Agents may attend meetings held pursuant to any step of the Grievance

post information regarding Union business. Specifically, such notices will include information about time and place of
meeting, Union social and charitable activities, and posting of official Union publications.

responsibility for upholding this provision of the Agreement. However, it is recognized that both state and federal law
4

A full-time employee's work week shall consist of five (5) consecutive work days, not necessarily Monday through Friday,
followed by two (2) consecutive days off. A full-time employee's regular workday shall be eight (8) consecutive hours
except for an unpaid lunch period. Full-time employees' work schedules showing workdays, shift assignments, and work
hours will be posted fourteen (14) days in advance by the City on bulletin boards available to affected employees. Except
in an emergency or in such instances that a shift position is vacant due to a circumstance outside the control of the City,
such as illness on a temporary basis, established work schedules will not be changed without fourteen (14) days written
notice to the affected full-time employees. For the purposes of this Agreement, emergency shall be defined as the
performance of City functions or services necessary to protect or reserve the lives, safety, health, or property of the
citizens of Woodburn threatened by unusual or unforeseen circumstances. Nothing in this Article or any part of this
Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of hours of work.

2.Provide for a rotation of shift assignments whereby all employees within a given classification and job
assignment serve an equal amount of time on each of the available shifts or work schedules.
4.4 WORK SCHEDULE FLEXIBILITY:
It is not the intention of this Article to prevent the City and an individual employee from mutually agreeing to alternative
work schedule(s). Such alternative work schedule may be initiated by either the City or an employee(s), but must be
reduced to writing before it is implemented. In the event an employee requested flexible work schedule is denied, the
employee shall be provided the operational reason for such a refusal by the Department head. Refusals of flexible
scheduling by the Department Head are not grievable but may be subject to review by the City Administrator. In all
cases, the City reserves any and all management rights related to scheduling employee work hours, or any other rights
that may be applicable under this article. An alternative work schedule shall conform to the requirements of the Fair
Labor Standards Act but may be at variance with the provisions of 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3 of this Article and may also,
notwithstanding the provisions of 9.1, allow an employee to agree to a work schedule that includes more than eight (8)
hours of daily work without overtime pay.

1.Receive eight (8) hours of holiday pay and charge two (2) hours against any of the employees accrued leave;
except sick leave
2.Receive eight (8) hours of holiday pay and forfeit two (2) hours of pay
3.Change to a work schedule of five 8-hour days for the entire week. To select this option the employee must
notify the supervisor at least seven (7) days in advance of the start of the work week and receive approval from
the supervisor to do this
4.With the supervisors approval work two (2) extra hours during the same work week. These two (2) extra hours
will be paid at the employee’s regular straight time rate of pay.

ARTICLE 6-VACATION
6.1 VACATION ACCRUAL:
Full-time employees shall accrue working days of vacation per calendar year outlined below.
Accrued vacation shall be credited as earned vacation for each full calendar month of service, in accordance with the
above, except that vacation accrued during the first six (6) months of continuous service shall not be credited as earned
vacation until the employee completed the first six (6) months of continuous service.
An employee's earned but unused vacation credits shall not be allowed to accumulate beyond double his or her annual
accrual rate. In the event that the employee will exceed the cap within the following 90 days, the employer shall notify
the employee. The employee shall then have the opportunity to schedule vacation so as not to exceed the cap.
Vacations already scheduled and approved shall not be counted against the cap, provided that such scheduled vacation
shall be utilized prior to March 30 immediately subsequent the date employee would have otherwise exceeded the cap.
The City may initiate a mandatory vacation of sufficient duration to reduce unused vacation below the maximum
allowable accumulation. Part-time employees shall earn pro-rata vacation benefits based upon the relationship their
regularly schedule workweek bears to that of a full-time employee.

6.2 VACATION UTILIZATION:
Starting on the 1st business day of April and for the remainder of the month, the City shall circulate or post within each
department or division, as applicable, a signup register. Such register shall be posted/circulated to employees in the
order of their seniority, beginning with the most senior employee. At the time such vacation sign-up register is
posted/circulated, each employee shall have the opportunity to designate one uninterrupted period for vacation within
those parts of the upcoming fiscal year when utilization of vacation will be allowed. Following the circulation of the
vacation sign-up register, each employee may schedule any remaining accrued vacation on a first-bid basis; that is, the
first employee to request vacation for a period when the utilization of vacation is allowed shall, subject to operational
needs of the City, be allowed to utilize vacation. The foregoing shall not preclude the possibility of several employees
within a given department or division, as applicable, being allowed to take vacation at the same time, nor shall it
preclude the possibility of denying requested vacation to an employee or several employees while other employees are
allowed to take vacation when such denial of vacation is due to operational requirements that do not uniformly affect all
employees in the given department or division. Nothing in this article precludes the granting of vacation outside of the
bid process, at any time, so long as such approval does not provide operational difficulties for the department or
division.
6.3 INCLEMENT CONDITIONS:
In the event inclement conditions exist to the extent that the employee cannot safely travel to the work site, and neither
the City nor the employee can determine an alternative method of transportation, the employee may use accrued
vacation leave or compensatory time to cover their absence.
6.4 TERMINATION:
Upon the termination of a regular employee, he or she shall be paid for all unused vacation at his or her current rate of
pay. In case of death, compensation for accrued vacation leave shall be paid in the same manner the salary due the
deceased is paid to the estate/spouse.
ARTICLE 7-SICK LEAVE
7.1 SICK LEAVE ACCRUAL:
Full-time employees shall accrue sick leave at the rate of one eight-hour (8-hour) day for each full calendar month of
service from the first month of employment to a maximum of one hundred eighty (180) eight-hour (8-hour) days.
Part-time employees shall accrue prorata sick leave benefits based on the relationship their regularly scheduled work
week bears to that of a full-time employee. Accrued but unused sick leave shall not be compensated upon termination
or death.
7.2 SICK LEAVE UTILIZATION:
If any employee is unable to work his or her regularly scheduled work day(s) by reason of illness or injury, accrued sick
leave shall be applied subject to the following limitations:
1.Secondary Employment: Unless the employee has notified the City in advance and received approval, sick leave
benefits shall not be allowed when an employee is working for another employer, or otherwise engaged in an
activity for profit during the period of disability.
2.Industrial Accidents: If the employee is or should be eligible for Workers' Compensation time-loss benefits, sick
leave shall not be available
3.Doctor's Certification: If the employee is absent for more than three (3) calendar days, sick leave benefits shall
not be allowed after the third calendar day unless a physician's statement is submitted upon return to work or
unless alternative arrangements satisfactory to the City have been made on or before the third day of the
absence.
8
214
4.Family Illness: When an employee must be away from the job because of a serious illness in the immediate
family, such time off shall be granted by the Department Head and charged against sick leave time. Immediate
family is defined as: husband, wife, mother, father, son, daughter, foster children, brother, sister, father-in-law,
mother-in-law, grandparents, or other relative living in the employee's household.
5.Non-emergency/Routine Medical Appointments: When an employee must be away from the job because of an
appointment with a licensed physician or dentist, such leave, provided it was requested and approved in
advance, may be approved and charged to nearest one-quarter (1/4) hour to the employee's sick leave account.
If the City has reason to believe that an employee may have been abusing sick leave, it may, by prior written notification
to that employee, require a physician's certification of illness for absences of three (3) days or less as a condition of
receipt of sick leave benefits.
In addition, a physician's certification of fitness to return to work may be required if there is some reason to question
the employee's fitness to perform his or her assigned duties.
7.3 SICK LEAVE LIMITATIONS:
1.New Employees: Sick leave shall not be available for utilization until after the first ninety (90) days of
employment have been completed.
2.Notification: The employee shall notify his or her immediate supervisor in accordance with procedures that may
be established by such supervisor of the need for sick leave as soon as possible after his or her knowledge of the
need. If the employee fails to notify his or her supervisor in a timely manner, it shall be cause for denial of sick
leave benefits.
3.Abuse: The abuse of sick leave shall be cause for disciplinary action.
4.Extended Illnesses: Sick leave shall not be allowed after the first ninety (90) calendar days of any illness. At that
time the City's long-term disability plan provides income protection for such circumstances. After the employee
has returned to work following an absence of more than ninety (90) calendar days, any accrued but unused sick
leave shall be available for utilization for subsequent disabilities.
7.4 EXTENDED NON FMLA/OFLA SICK LEAVE:
Whenever an employee has exhausted either FMLA or OFLA, the employee will provide to the employer, when
requested and not more frequently than once every 90 days, medical verification of their disability so long as the
employee is receiving paid sick leave time from the employer. In no event may any leave time be extended under the
terms of this agreement with job placement rights for more than 18 continuous calendar months from the last
scheduled day of work missed.
FMLA/OFLA SICK LEAVE:
7.5
Employee eligible for Family and Medical Leave (FMLA) and Oregon Family Leave Act (OFLA) must promptly comply
(within 15 days), unless unable to do so because of incapacity, respond to requests for certification/documentation from
the employer. A failure to respond or to provide the appropriate documentation in a timely manner may be the basis for
discipline by the employer.
FMLA/OFLA SICK LEAVE TRACKING:
7.6
Effective upon ratification for purposes of calculating either FMLA and/or OFLA tracking, a “rolling” year or most recent
12-calendar month’s measurement period immediately preceding the FMLA/OFLA event shall be used. This means that
the immediate previous year shall be reviewed for any calculation regarding the total amount of leave time available.
9
215
ARTICLE 8-INSURANCE AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS
8.1 LONG-TERM DISABILITY INSURANCE:
Effective January 1, 2006, the City shall pay the cost of long-term disability coverage that insures sixty-six percent (66%)
of the employee's base monthly salary for a disability due to injury or illness. This coverage shall provide protection
when ninety (90) calendar days have elapsed from the time of injury or illness.
8.2 MEDICAL DENTAL VISION INSURANCE:
Health Insurance/Health Savings Account
The City agrees to offer two Health plans from which employees may choose; The Kaiser Plan or the Regence High
Deductible Health Plan (with a Health Savings Account (HSA)). Kaiser participants will not be eligible for the HSA account
and/or VEBA.
The City’s contribution for eligible employees and their eligible dependents (as defined by the Plan Administrator) shall
not exceed 85% of the monthly premiums plus the Health Savings Account contribution for Regence participants only as
outlined below.
Effective 1/1/2013, funding for all non-probationary employees to the HSA account will be 100% of the deductible. The
out of pocket coinsurance balance ($800 single or $2,050 family) will then be funded as of 7/1/2013.
Effective 1/1/2014, 50% of the deductible will be deposited into the HSA account for all eligible non-probationary
employees.
Effective 7/1/2014, 50% of the deductible will be deposited into the HSA for all eligible non-probationary employees.
Subsequent semi-annual payments will thereafter be made for all eligible non-probationary employees each January and
July for any succeeding year. The payment amounts shall be 50% of the deductible.
Any employee who does not complete a calendar half-year of employment foregoes the HSA deposit for that same
period.
Employees newly hired during the term of the Agreement will receive the deductible funded to the HSA as outlined
above in this article on a semi-annual prorated basis upon completion of probations.
For terminating employees, the final HSA contributions will be made to eligible employees on the payroll on 12/31 for
the first semi-annual period and 6/30 for the second semi-annual period.
All employees regularly scheduled to work not less than 20 hours per week are required to participate in the health
insurance program unless the employee can prove they have attained medical insurance coverage via an alternative
means. In which case, employees may opt out of the Plan and receive a $50.00/month incentive from the City. In order
for the City to offer the opt out the following must apply;
1.The City must maintain enrollment of a minimum of 75% of eligible employees in the City medical
insurance program
2.Employees must participate in the City dental insurance program with a minimum of individual coverage
(This applies to opt out only. If an employee waives medical and dental coverage, they don’t get any opt
out incentive payment).
3.Any employee opting out of City medical insurance shall provide documentation of alternate group
medical insurance coverage
10
216
4.The City will randomly audit employees who opt out of the City medical insurance program. Any
employee who has opted out of the program and does not have and/or maintain group coverage will be
required to pay back any incentive pay they have received for the entire contract period regardless of
when their coverage ceased.
Employees regularly scheduled to work more than 20 hours per week but less than 30 hours per week are not eligible
for HSA contribution made by the City. They may participate in the HSA program on a voluntary basis.
The City will fund for employees regularly scheduled to work more than thirty (30) hours a week and for the first year of
this contract only (2013) 100% of the out-of-pocket maximum as outlined above. Thus the total deposit into each eligible
employee shall be $2,300 for individual and $5,050 for family as per previously outlined funding plan.
For the second and third years of the contract (2014 and 2015) the annual contribution by the City into HSA’s for
employees regularly scheduled to work over 30 hours a week will be for the deductible only ($1,500 for individual and
$3,000 for family) as per above outlined funding schedule.
For any employee regularly scheduled to work over 30 hours per week who is ineligible to participate in the HSA
program because of Federal rules, an HRA (Health Reimbursement Account) funded through a VEBA (Voluntary
Employee Beneficiary Association) Plan with an equivalent contribution from the Employer on behalf of the employee.
The City of Woodburn has adopted the HRA VEBA Medical Expense Plan. The City agrees to contribute to the Plan on
behalf of all employees in the collective bargaining group defined as eligible to participate in the Plan. Each eligible
employee must submit a completed and signed Enrollment Form to become a Plan participant and be eligible for
benefits under the Plan.
Contributions on behalf of each eligible employee shall be based on the following selected funding sources/formulas:
1.Contributions for employees who are HSA ineligible. Eligibility is limited to employees who are ineligible to
receive and/or make contributions into a health savings account (H.S.A) due to other first-dollar / non-high
deductible health plan coverage or Medicare. Such employees will receive a contribution into an HRA VEBA
account instead of an HSA
2.If an employee becomes HSA eligible in subsequent plan years (e.g. is no longer covered under another non-high
deductible health plan), the city will establish and make contributions into an HSA and cease contributing to the
employee’s HRA VEBA account. If the employee has a balance in their HRA VEBA account, they will be required
to fill out an “election of limited plan coverage” form for their HRA VEBA account so that they are eligible to
receive and/or make contributions into their HSA
If the deductible and/or out of pocket maximums change as per plan documents during the duration of this contract and
beyond the control of the City, the Union and the City agree to meet and discuss those changes and how that may or
may not affect the City funding the HSA plan.
It is also noted that the insurance coverage’s run on a calendar year and therefore funding to the HSA will also be as per
calendar year in concurrence with the insurance plan duration.
8.3 LIFE INSURANCE:
The City shall provide the following life insurance benefits for the duration of this Agreement:
1.A 24-hour term life insurance policy equal to one times the employee's basic annual salary rounded to the next
higher $1,000.
2.An Accidental Death and Dismemberment insurance policy equal to one times the employee's basic annual
salary rounded to the next higher $1,000.
11
217
8.4 COVERAGE DURING LEAVES OF ABSENCE:
Employees on leaves of absence with pay will have their group benefits continued. The employee portion of the
premium will continue to be deducted from their pay.
Employees on medical leaves of absence without pay may continue medical, dental and vision benefits provided that the
insurance companies allow for the extension of coverage while on unpaid leave. The City and employee portion of the
premium will be paid by the City for a maximum of three (3) months. This benefit coverage will run concurrently with
FMLA.
For unpaid medical leaves that do not qualify for FMLA, the employee must return to work for a minimum of one (1)
month following the expiration of approved leave or the employee will be obligated to reimburse the City for the total
premium paid for the period of their unpaid leave.
An employee on an approved medical leave of absence without pay may continue medical, dental and vision benefits
beyond the three (3) month period by paying the full insurance premium for those benefits.
In the event of a catastrophic illness or accident, the City Administrator may extend the maximum period beyond three
(3) months.
8.5 WORKERS' COMPENSATION:
Pursuant to applicable law, the City shall continue to provide coverage under the Workers' Compensation plan for job-
connected injuries or disabilities. In the event an employee suffers an injury while on the job with the City for which he
or she is eligible for time-loss benefits, such employee shall continue to receive the medical, dental, long-term disability,
and life insurance benefits provided for herein for the first ninety (90) days of such injury.
8.6 RETIREMENT:
For the duration of this Agreement, the City shall continue the current retirement plan offered through the Public
Employees Retirement System (PERS).
Effective July 1, 2010, the City shall pick up, assume or pay the employee's contribution required by law to PERS subject
to the Oregon Administrative Rules pursuant to PERS and OPSRP statutes.
ARTICLE 9-PREMIUM PAY
9.1 OVERTIME:
Employees required by the City to work beyond eight (8) hours in any twentyfour-hour (24 hour) period beginning at
12:01 a.m., or more than forty (40) hours per week, shall receive overtime compensation.
In no case shall overtime be paid twice for the same hours.
Overtime shall be computed to the nearest quarter-hour (1/4) hour.
Overtime pay shall be based on the actual number of hours on duty per day or week, except that two (2) hours of
overtime will be guaranteed in instances of emergency callback. Emergency call-back shall include, but shall not be
limited to instances when an employee has physically left the work site, is on the way home from work, and is called to
return to work. Overtime pay shall also be paid at the emergency call-back rate to employees that trouble shoot from
home using a laptop computer who would otherwise, except for use of the computer, be required to return to the work
site to resolve an emergency. The overtime rate shall be time-and-one-half the regular rate of compensation, in the
form of comp time or pay, at the discretion of the City. However, if employee(s) are to be subject to a compensatory
12
218
time policy that differs from the eighty (80) hour maximum presently allowed by City policy, he/she shall be so notified
in writing.
In the event that sufficient acceptable personnel do not accept overtime on a voluntary basis, or in the event of an
emergency, such additional personnel as are deemed necessary by the City may be required to work overtime. As
provided by ORS 279.345(5)(b), the provisions of ORS 279.340 shall not apply to the employees covered by this
Agreement.
9.2 STANDBY:
Stand-by Responsibilities:
Subject to program needs and budget limitations the City may assign certain bargaining unit employees to “Stand-by
Required” positions. The determination of the number and qualifications is the sole and exclusive determination by
management.
Effective with this Agreement, the following positions are eligible for assignment to a “Stand-by required” position;
Wastewater Positions
Waste Water Operator I
Waste Water Operator III
Waste Water Maintenance Technician
“Lead” Waste Water Maintenance Technician
Drinking Water Positions
Water Operator I
Water Maintenance Technician
Utility Worker II
Utility Worker III
Collections/Street Maintenance/Fleet Positions
Sewer Line Maintenance Technician
Utility Worker I
Utility Worker II
Fleet Technician
Employees assigned by Management under this subsection as “Stand-by required” shall receive an eight percent (8%)
premium to their normal base hourly rate. Employees assigned to the identified rates may be scheduled for up to twelve
(12) weeks of Stand-by duty per calendar year. No other bargaining units may be scheduled for regular Stand-by
required duties; except that for short term emergency situations such as acts of God, Force Majeure or any other
unanticipated incident beyond the City’s control. In such cases any other bargaining unit employee may be temporarily
increased by 10% on an as needed basis (for not less than one (1) week) and not be a violation of this Agreement.
Hours worked on City property as a result of a call out (including travel time), shall be counted as hours worked.
Stand-by duty “standards” are required to be met by any employee assigned to Stand-by duty. A failure to fully adhere
to such standards (listed below) may result in appropriate discipline being administered:
1.Employee shall be immediately accessible by telephone or other agreed to device at all times while on Stand-by.
2.The employee shall respond within 15 minutes of a call out and be on City property within 60 minutes of the
original call out for service
13
219
3.Employees must be in “duty ready” condition; this mean strict adherence to the substance abuse policy. In the
event an employee is taking medications while on Stand-by by duty the employee has a responsibility to
immediately report such condition to his/her supervisor immediately.
Scheduling:
Management will use its best efforts to schedule Stand-by duties on a rotational basis not less than three (3) months in
advance. Management will schedule on a weekly basis. No employee shall be shall be scheduled for more than seven (7)
consecutive days until they have had fourteen (14) consecutive days without a Stand-by assignment.
Whenever an unforeseen event occurs requiring a variation from the posted schedule, management will attempt to
remedy such occurrences by asking for volunteers first; then by assigning duty by inverse seniority second. If
management still cannot adequately meet the Stand-by shifts needed, due to an emergency and/or unforeseen need
then additional Stand-by assignments may be made to employees not normally assigned. Emergency Employee(s)
assignment shall be paid as a 10% premium to their normal base pay for the week in which the assignment(s) is made.
Stand-by assignments made by management shall be tracked on a fiscal year basis (July 1 through June 30). Employees
may voluntarily “swap shifts” provided management is informed at least ten (10) days in advance of proposed swap and
no financial liability is created for the City.
In the event an employee is assigned by management more than one week of Stand-by responsibilities in any calendar
month, said employee will received fourteen (14) hours of ‘ comp’ time for each week of Stand-by assignment served
within the month.
Not more than one week in any calendar month shall be counted towards the 12 yearly assignments.
Notwithstanding the above, the intent of management is to fairly schedule Stand-by duties to bargaining until
employees to the extent practical. However it is understood and agreed that the ability of management to utilize non-
union supervisors to augment or “add to Stand-by” duties shall not be a basis for a violation of this Agreement so long as
twelve (12) bargaining unit employees are regularly receiving the Stand-by premium. Further, in the event new
technologies and/or work methods or systems are developed that provide greater efficiency to the City, then said
efficiencies may allow the City adopt a Stand-by schedule using less than the twelve (12) aforementioned positions.
Before such a modification is made the Union will be given thirty (30) days advance notice of such intent.
Right-to re-assigns:
It is agreed by all parties to this agreement that the assignment of employees to “Stand-by required” is recognition of
quality superior work performance. Accordingly, if management determines that an employee is no longer performing at
such a standard then nothing in this agreement will preclude the reassignment of a different employee.
9.3 ACTING-IN-CAPACITY PAY:
At the discretion of the department head, employees assigned to work in a higher classification may receive a five
percent (5%) wage differential for periods of two (2) weeks or longer (this excludes periods for vacation, sick leave,
workshops, etc). In order to receive Acting-In-Capacity pay, the employee must be assigned the full range of duties and
have full authority and responsibilities of the position he/she is filling. The department head must submit a Personnel
Action Form to the Human Resources office prior to assigning employees to work in a higher classification requiring a
wage differential payment.
ARTICLE 10-REST PERIODS/LUNCH PERIODS:
All employees shall be granted a fifteen-minute (15-minute) rest period during each one-half (%) shift, except in
emergency situations. Rest periods shall be taken at approximately the middle of each one-half (%) shift as designated
14
220
by the supervisor. All employees shall be granted a lunch period of not less than one-half-hour (% hour) or more than
one (1) hour, except in emergency situations. Such lunch periods shall be without pay and be utilized at approximately
the middle of the work shift as designated by the supervisor.
ARTICLE 11-LEAVES
11.1 BEREAVEMENT LEAVE:
In the event of a death in the employee's immediate family, for purposes of this article immediate family shall include
grandparents, parents, parents-in-law, siblings, children, grandchildren, or any member of the immediate household, an
employee may be granted leave of absence not to exceed five (5) working days without loss of pay. This leave shall be
separate from sick leave and shall not accumulate from year to year. In the event of a death of a co-worker, employees
may request and be granted vacation leave or other mutually agreeable time off to attend the funeral. In instances
where the essential work of the City would be seriously handicapped by the temporary absence of a group of employees
in a division, the City may set a reasonable limit on the number of employees that are to receive such leave.
11.2 WITNESS/JURY DUTY:
When an employee is called for jury duty or subpoenaed to appear in court as a witness, he or she will be paid the
difference between his or her regular salary and the amount of jury pay. However, if he or she transfers all
compensation, less mileage and meal allowances, received from the court to the City, he or she shall receive his or her
regular compensation for the time covered by the absence. Time not worked because of such service will not affect
vacation or sick leave accrual. The foregoing shall not apply if the employee is a party in interest to the proceeding or is
serving as a witness against the City or on behalf of the Union. In such instance, leave of absence without pay will be
provided.
11.3 MILITARY:
Military leave with or without pay shall be provided in accordance with applicable State (ORS 408.290) and Federal
statutes.
11.4 LEAVE WITHOUT PAY:
Upon the written request of a regular employee to the immediate supervisor, the City may, in writing, grant an
employee a leave of absence without pay for a period not exceeding twelve (12) months. Such request shall include the
reason for requesting such leave and establish reasonable justification for consideration by the City. An employee shall
not accrue benefits or seniority during such leave, but will be reinstated with all previously earned leave and seniority
upon his or her return to work.
11.5 VOTING LEAVE:
Employees who are registered voters shall be granted necessary time off, up to one (1) hour, to vote on election day if,
due to their work schedule, they otherwise would not be able to vote.

spaced at 5%. Newly hired employees will start out at 75% of the baseline rate. The baseline rate for all calculations
shall be Step 6 @100%.
15
221
Employees on the current wage schedule will be increased 1-step on the new schedule. This means an employee
currently at Step 2 will be placed at Step 3 on the new schedule and so forth.
Employees currently at Step 5 will be placed at Step 6 on the new schedule.
Effective the first full pay period after 7/1/2014, Steps 7 and 8 will become operational. Any employee at Step 6 will be
then placed into Step 7 or 8 provided they have the necessary tenure.
The structure for the new wage schedule is outline below with an updated complete schedule in Appendix A

The parties to this Agreement agree to meet before April 1, 2013, and negotiate over possible hourly wage adjustments
for regularly scheduled employees required to perform XXXX duties as Utility II in Wastewater collections. These
employees are required to regularly don Haz-Mat protective personal protective equipment and work in confined space
environments. In recognition for the additional risk and hazardous conditions, the parties will attempt to reach a
settlement of a modified hourly wage adjustment. In the event the parties are unable to conclude the negotiations
amicably for both parties, the issue may be referred by the Union to a modified binding arbitration, with the arbitrator
compelled to issue a decision within 30 days of the hearing.
12.2 PAY PERIODS/PAY DAYS:
During the term of this Agreement the City reserves the right to adopt a revised pay period of either 2 weeks or twice a
month. Before adopting such a program the City will provide to employee and the Union 90 days advance notice of its
intent to implement.
It is also agreed that the pay period for purposes of calculating overtime shall be from Sunday (12:01 am) to Saturday
(11:59 pm)
ARTICLE 13-DISCIPLINE AND DISCHARGE
13.1 DISCIPLINARY ACTION:
By way of illustration but without limitation, disciplinary action shall include the following:
1.Written reprimand. An employee may grieve a written reprimand through Step IV, City Administrator level of
the grievance procedure, but shall not pursue such a grievance to Step V, Arbitration. The decision of the City
Administrator shall be final and binding. If the employee disagrees with the written reprimand, he/she may
attach a written rebuttal thereto.
2.Suspension without pay.
3.Temporary reduction in pay to a lower step within the established pay range for the employee's classification.
4.Discharge. Oral corrections may also be given to employees, but such shall not be considered disciplinary action,
inasmuch as the employee has experienced no loss of compensation as a result thereof.
16
222
13.2 DUE PROCESS:
For the purposes of this Article, due process shall require that the following steps be accomplished before an employee
is:
1.Suspended without pay
2.Temporarily reduced in pay, OR
3.Discharged.

3.After the decision is made, the employee shall be given written notification thereof. If the decision is adverse to
the employee, the employee shall have the opportunity to include a statement in his/her personnel file and to

provisions of the grievance procedure, Article 18 hereof.
13.4 CONFIDENTIALITY:

manner that will not unduly embarrass the employee before other employees or the public.
13.5 PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEES:
A probationary employee shall serve at the pleasure of the City and shall not have the right to appeal any disciplinary
action as a violation of this Agreement. A regular employee shall be discharged only on stated grounds provided the

ARTICLE 14-SENIORITY
14.1 DEFINITIONS:
Effective with this Agreement seniority shall be defined as an employee’s continuous length of service with the City from
his/her last date of hire. Seniority as used in this Agreement means the length of continuous employment with the
employer. In most cases, seniority shall be looked at for full time employees first and then part-time employees second.
An employee’s total hours accumulation of straight time compensable hours will be the basis of exercising seniority
rights throughout this Agreement unless specifically exempted by Article. Seniority shall accrue by hours paid. An
employee shall lose all seniority credit in the event of a termination/resignation or failure to return from an expired
leave of absence.
14.2 SENIORITY LIST:
An updated seniority list for the bargaining unit and classification shall be posted annually on each department's
employee bulletin board.
17
223
14.3 EFFECT OF LEAVE WITHOUT PAY:
An employee who is absent without leave for more than seventeen (17) working hours shall be considered to have

show that it was not feasible to obtain prior approval for the absence.
14.4 TRANSFERS:
Employees desiring to transfer to other comparable positions may submit an application in writing to their immediate
supervisor. The application shall state the reason for the requested transfer. An employee may transfer to another City
department within the same classification, if both department heads agree to the transfer
14.5 JOB POSTING AND SENIORITY:
Vacancies in the bargaining unit shall be posted in a place available to employees. Employees may apply for such open
positions by the regular application procedure. Present qualified employees shall be given first consideration, provided
their qualifications are, in the City's judgment, equal to those of other applicants. If two or more qualified present
employees are otherwise equally qualified in the City's judgment, first consideration shall be given the applicant with the
greatest seniority in applicable job classification.
ARTICLE-15 PROBATION
The probationary period is an integral part of the employee selection process and provides the City with the opportunity
to upgrade and improve the department by observing an employee's work, training and aiding employees in adjustment
to their positions, and by providing an opportunity to reject any employee whose work performance fails to meet
required work standards.
Every new employee hired into the bargaining unit shall serve a probationary period of six (6) full months, which may by
written notice to the employee prior to the completion of the initial six-month (6 month) period be extended for up to
six (6) additional months.
Employees promoted into a higher classification shall serve a probationary period of six (6) full months, which may by
written notice to the employee prior to the completion of the initial six-month (6 month) period be extended for up to
six (6) additional months.
The Union recognized the right of the City to terminate new employees on probationary status at any time for any
reason without recourse to appeal and to exercise all rights not specifically modified by this Agreement with respect to
such employees, including, but not limited to, the assignment of on-the-job training in other classifications. The Union
also recognized the right of the City to demote an employee on promotional probationary status to his or her previous
position.
Employees who as a result of a layoff or reduction-in-force assume a new position must be able to demonstrate
proficiency in said position within sixty (60) days. An employee who has bumped from their regular position and has
failed to demonstrate proficiency in the new position within the 60 days may be subject to layoff thereafter by the City.
15.2 VOLUNTARY DEMOTION:
Employees who, within 1040 hours following a promotion, voluntarily demote to their previously held classification may
return to the step of the previously held classification from which they promoted. Demotion under this section shall be
with the mutual agreement of the employee and involved Department Head(s) and an opening must exist.
18
224
ARTICLE 16-LAYOFF
16.1 DEFINITION:
A layoff is a permanent reduction in the City work force
16.2 PROCEDURE:
It is the intent of the City of Woodburn to provide and maintain as many full time employment positions as practical.
However in the event of a layoff, notice of not less than 45 calendar days (a Layoff Mitigation Review Period) will be
given to the Union and the employees the City intends to lay off.
During the Layoff Mitigation Review Period, the employer shall, in good faith, meet with the Union and consider various
alternatives as offered by the Union to a reduction-in force for all affected departments. Probationary, temporary,
seasonal and limited assignment/duration employees shall be reduced in hours or laid off first; the remaining workforce
shall be composed of a minimum number of part-time employees and regular full time employees. Nothing in this
Agreement shall prohibit the parties from agreeing to a temporary alternative arrangement in lieu of a normal layoff as
outlined in this Agreement.
If the City reduces its work force, layoffs shall be made within each job classification by department by seniority, with
the least senior employees being the first laid off. The City may make exception to a layoff on the basis of seniority
where employees who possess special skills would otherwise be laid off.
Employees subject to layoff shall have the right to displace or “bump” employees in equal or lower paying job
classifications provided that they have seniority and the minimum qualifications as specified in the most recent job
description.
If the employee cannot “bump” into a position as outlined above, and the employee has no prior City service in the job
to which he/she is to be assigned, a probationary period as outlined in Article 15 shall be required. A reduction from
fulltime to part-time for the same job shall not incur a new probationary period for an employee.
16.3 RECALL:
Recalls from a layoff shall be made according to seniority. No new employees shall be hired into a classification until all
laid off employees qualified to do the job have been given a chance to return to work. In order to maintain this right to
recall, an employee must register in person or by mail with the City Administrator or his or her designee upon change of
address, telephone number, and at least annually signifying his or her availability for recall.
Laid off employees shall be recalled only by certified letter, return receipt requested, and shall have five (5) days from
receipt of such notification in which to inform the city of their intent to return to work and an additional ten (10) days
therefrom in which to report to work. An earlier reporting day may, by mutual arrangement, be arranged. Employees
laid off for a period of twenty-four (24) months or longer lose all seniority rights.
ARTICLE 17-CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT
17.1 PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
The City shall provide protective clothing and safety equipment pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, based on a
review performed by the City's insurance carrier or other similar resource acceptable to the parties. Only those items
which are required by law or regulation shall be provided.
19
225
17.2UNIFORMS:
In addition to safety equipment and clothing provided under the above, the City shall continue to provide work uniforms
for selected employees within the bargaining unit, under the following conditions:
1.It shall be the employee's responsibility to launder and to otherwise maintain the uniform in a proper manner.
2.Uniforms or any portion thereof shall not be worn except while on duty or while in transit to or from the job.
3.Uniforms shall be replaced on an exchange basis only, and employees may from time to time be required to
account for all uniforms originally issued. The cost of replacement of any uniform lost, destroyed, or otherwise
not accounted for shall be borne by the employee.

18.1 DEFINITION:
A grievance, for the purpose of this Agreement, is defined as a dispute regarding the meaning or interpretation of a
particular clause of this Agreement or regarding an alleged violation of this Agreement.
18.2 PROCEDURE:
Employees are highly encouraged to discuss any contract dispute with their direct supervisor with the intent of resolving
the issue before resorting to the grievance process. In an effort to provide for a peaceful procedure for resolution of
disputes the parties agree to the following procedure when the issue cannot be resolved between the employee and the
supervisor.
STEP I:
The employee, and his/her Union Business Representative or Steward, will file a written grievance with the employee’s
immediate Supervisor within 20 working days of the occurrence of the grievance or the date that the employee should
have first known the facts upon which the grievance is based. The grievance shall contain;

2.A statement as to the specific contract Article or Articles with Section and/or paragraph that was violated.
3.The specific remedy or alternative remedies that the City must take to correct the alleged contract violation.
Any grievance referred on the basis of past practice must cite the specific practice involved. The Supervisor will respond
to the employee and his/her Union representative or Steward in writing within ten (10) working days of receiving the
grievance.
STEP II:
If the grievance remains unresolved at Step I, it must be submitted in writing within ten (10) working days of the
completion of Step I to the Department Head. He/she may meet with the employee’s immediate Supervisor and the
aggrieved party and his/her Union representative or Steward. The Department Head shall respond to the grievance in
writing within ten (10) working days to the employee and his/her Union representative or Steward.
STEP Ill:
Individual grievances that remain unresolved and/or group grievances initiated by the Union may be initiated.
Individual grievances must be submitted in writing to the Human resources Director within ten (10) working days of the
completion of Step II.
Group grievances must be submitted within thirty (30) working days of the event of the violation or date of union
knowledge of the facts.
A meeting shall occur as soon as possible, but in no event longer than ten (10) working days from the date of referral by
the Union to the Human Resources Director and the Department Head. The entire issue giving rise to the grievance will
20
226
be reviewed. The Human resources Director will respond within ten (10) working days of the meeting in writing to the
employee and his/her Union representative or Steward.
STEP IV:
If the grievance remains unresolved, it may be submitted in writing to the City Administrator within ten (10) working
days of the completion of Step III and a copy sent to the Human Resources Director. The City Administrator (or his/her
designee) shall meet with the aggrieved party and Union Representative or Steward within ten (10) working days. The
City Administrator will respond, in writing to the Union Representative or Steward within ten (10) working days of the
meeting with a copy also being sent to the grievant. If the issue still remains unresolved it may be referred to
arbitration.
STEP V:
If the grievance is not resolved, it shall be submitted to arbitration in the following manner:
1.The Union shall provide the City with written notification of intent to proceed to arbitration within ten (10)
working days of the conclusion of Step IV.
2.The Union and the City shall have ten (10) working days from the date of such notification to reach a mutual
agreement upon an arbitrator.
3.If the Union and the City fail to agree upon an arbitrator within the ten (10) day period, the Union will request a
list of seven (7) arbitrators to the State of Oregon Mediation and Conciliation Service. The arbitrators shall
reside in the States of Oregon or Washington. Starting with the Union the parties shall alternately strike one
name from the list until only one name from the list remains.
4.The City and the Union shall have ten (10) days from the date of receipt of the list of arbitrators to select the
arbitrator.
18.3 LIMITATIONS ON ARBITRATION:
The arbitrator shall render a written decision within a reasonable time. The powers of the arbitrator shall be limited to
interpreting this Agreement and determining if it has been violated. The arbitrator shall have no power to alter, modify,
add to, or detract from the terms of this Agreement. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both
parties.
No issue whatsoever shall be arbitrated or subject to arbitration unless such issue results from an action or occurrence
which takes place while this Agreement is in effect, and no arbitration determination or award shall be made by the
arbitrator which grants any right or relief for any period of time whatsoever prior to the execution or after the
expiration date of this Agreement.
Expenses for the arbitrator's services and the proceedings shall be borne equally by the parties. However, each party
shall be completely responsible for the cost of preparing, presenting its own case, including compensating its own
representatives and witnesses. If either party desires a record of the proceedings, it shall solely bear the cost of such
records.
It is specifically and expressly understood and agreed that taking a grievance appeal to arbitration constitutes an
election of remedies. Specifically, the Union agrees that it shall not pursue an issue that has been the subject of a
grievance to any court, quasi-judicial body or other outside authority for a determination, and that when an issue is
presently pending before, or has been decided by a court, quasi-judicial body or other outside authority, no grievance
with respect thereto may exist.
18.4 TIME LIMITS:
Any or all time limits specified in the grievance procedure may be waived by mutual consent of the parties. Failure to
submit the grievance in accordance with these time limits without such waiver shall constitute abandonment of the
21
227
grievance. Failure by the City to submit a reply within the specified time will constitute a rejection of the grievance at
that Step. And thereby allow the Union to proceed to the next step within the applicable time limit. A grievance may be
terminated at any time upon receipt of a signed statement from the employee that the matter has been resolved. The
employee may be represented at any level of the grievance procedure by a Union representative

positions are subject to the requirements of state and federal law.
Purpose
The City has a strong commitment to its employees to provide a safe work environment and promotes high standards of
employee fitness. Consistent with the intent of this commitment, the City established this policy regarding drugs and
alcohol.
While the City has no intention of interfering with the private lives of its employees, the City expects its employees to
report to work in a condition to perform their duties in a safe, effective and efficient manner. All persons covered by
this policy should be aware that violations of this policy will result in discipline, up to and including termination, or in not
being hired.

Scope
For the purpose of this Policy, “drugs” is defined as all controlled substances including but not limited to: opiates,
cocaine, marijuana (THC), phencyclidine (PCP), amphetamines/ methamphetamines and barbiturates. However, “drugs”
does not include prescription and over-the-counter medications that are lawfully prescribed and used in a manner
consistent with a physician’s instructions and/or medication warnings.
Employees who violate this Policy conduct will be subject to discipline, including discharge.
Prohibited Conduct
The following conduct is strictly prohibited:
1.Buying, selling, consuming, distributing or possessing drugs or alcohol during working hours, including rest and
meal periods.
2.Reporting for work or returning to duty under the influence of alcohol or drugs. For the purpose of this Policy, an
employee is considered to be “under the influence” of alcohol if his/her alcohol concentration is .04 BAC or
24
230
more. Alcohol concentration levels measuring less than .04 BAC are considered a negative test result. An
employee is considered to be “under the influence” of drugs, if the employee tests positive for having such
substances present in his/her body.
3.Consuming drugs or alcohol while on Stand-by as defined by this Agreement. If an employee is on Stand-by and
has used any prescription or nonprescription medications which may interfere with the safe and effective
performance of duties or operation of City equipment or vehicles, the employee is required to notify his or her
supervisor prior to responding to a call for service.
4.Failure to report an arrest, conviction and/or plea-bargain for an alcohol or drug-related criminal offense to the
employee’s supervisor within 10 days after the arrest conviction or plea bargain occurs.
5.Failure to disclose use of over-the-counter or prescribed medication containing a controlled substance that may
influence behavior and/or one’s ability to safely perform one’s job.
Any determination of a positive substance abuse test for any substance will be on the same basis used for the Federal
CDL Standards.
Disclosure of Medications
Employees are responsible for consulting with their physicians and carefully reviewing medication warnings, including
any warnings pertinent to the effects of use of a combination of medications. Employees who are using over-the-
counter or prescribed medications which have any reported side effects that could reasonably affect their ability to
safely perform all essential job duties must notify their supervisor of the substance taken and its side effects before
reporting for work. Medical verification of ability to safely perform job duties may be required before the employee is
allowed to continue his/her job assignment. Employees are eligible to utilize sick leave benefits pending receipt of
acceptable verification.
Although the use of prescribed and over-the-counter medication as part of a medical treatment program is not grounds
for disciplinary action, failure to fully disclose the use of substances which could reasonably impair the safe performance
of essential job duties; and/or illegally obtaining the substance or use which is inconsistent with prescriptions or labels
will subject an employee to disciplinary action.
Employee Testing
The Employer agrees to train all supervisors to recognize behaviors which may give rise to a suspicion test request. It is
agreed that the employer will regularly train supervisors as to the proper procedures for dealing with a possible
substance abuse and that this training will be provided, at minimum, once every two years.
A supervisor may order an employee to immediately submit to a urinalysis test for drugs and/or a breathalyzer test for
alcohol whenever the City has reasonable suspicion to believe that the employee has violated the provisions of this
Policy concerning reporting to work or being at work “under the influence” of drugs or alcohol.
“Reasonable suspicion” shall be defined as suspicion based on articulated observations concerning the appearance,
unusual behavior, speech, breath odor, body symptoms or other reliable indicators that an employee has consumed
drugs and/or alcohol in violation of this Policy.
For any employee holding a safety sensitive positions that requires a pre-employment substance abuse test and who is
off the job for more than 30 calendar days regardless of the cause then the employee will be required to submit to the
same test used for pre-employment testing before returning to work. This means any leave for any reason in excess for
more than 30 calendar days, including vacation in excess of 30 days.
The City reserves the right to substance abuse test any safety sensitive employee involved in an on-the-job accident
incident.
25
231
Testing Procedures
1.All testing will be conducted at a laboratory certified by the federal DOT and shall be conducted in accordance
with the standards for procedural safeguards and testing integrity disseminated by the NIDA. All drug tests will
be conducted through collection of a split sample. All positive drug tests will be confirmed by a second cross
confirmatory test from the same sample using GCMS testing methodology and reviewed by a Medical Review
Officer before the test result is reported as positive.
2.The residual specimen sample shall remain at the testing facility in frozen storage for a minimum of 90 days
from the date the test was conducted. This sample shall be made available for testing to the employee or his
attorney, should the original sample result in a legal dispute or the chain of custody be broken.
3.Whenever there is a reason to believe that the employee may have altered, diluted and/or substituted the
specimen provided for the initial test that was not determinative, a second test will be conducted. The second
test procedures shall be identical to the first test procedures
4.If no confirmatory test is requested by the employer, the employee will have the option of having any remaining
untested original specimen sent to a qualified and certified laboratory of the employee’s own choosing at the
employee’s expense for testing. If the second confirmatory test results in a negative reading then said test shall
be paid by the employer. Any testing shall be in conformance with the original testing protocols.
5.All records pertaining to required drug and alcohol tests, as well as compliance with rehabilitation terms shall
remain confidential, and shall not be released, except on a need to know basis, in accordance with applicable
law. All documents pertaining to testing and test results will be maintained in employee medical, not personnel,
files.
Searches
The City reserves the right to conduct searches of City equipment or facilities generally, and may search any area or item
of City property (such as desks, files, lockers, cabinets, etc.), as well as personal property brought onto City property
consistent with applicable law. Personal property, such as brief cases, lunch boxes, etc. brought onto City property, as
well as lockers, may be searched when the City has reasonable suspicion that alcohol or probable cause that drugs or
drug-related paraphernalia may be found.
Prior to a search, notice will be given to the employee, who may elect to be present with a Union representative, if such
presence does not delay the search in excess of forty-five (45) minutes.
Consequences of Violations
1.Employees who Report Dependencies and Seek Treatment before Committing a Policy Violation.
Rehabilitation: The City encourages employees who have drug and/or alcohol dependencies or think they may
have such dependencies to seek assistance voluntarily. When an employee voluntarily reports a drug or
alcohol dependency to his/her supervisor and seeks assistance before violating this Policy, that employee may
be placed on a leave of absence or adjusted working hours to allow for in-patient or out-patient rehabilitation
treatment if recommended by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP).
The employee will not be permitted to work until such time as a Substance Abuse Professional agrees
him/her:
a.Has been evaluated by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP);
b.If recommended by the SAP, has complied with all rehabilitation/after-care prescribed;
and
c.Has a verified negative drug or alcohol test (as applicable).
In order to return to work for the City, an employee having sought assistance must agree to all treatment,
rehabilitation, after-care and follow-up testing as set forth in a written Rehabilitation and Return to Work
Agreement required by the City. Any employee who violates the terms of the Rehabilitation Agreement or the
26
232
Return to Work Agreement is subject to immediate termination. The term of a said agreement shall be for 2080
straight-time hours worked.
The time an employee is off work undergoing rehabilitation is unpaid. However, employees may draw their
unused, accumulated sick leave, and/or vacation pay, holiday and compensatory time. Also, employees who
are receiving health insurance coverage will be eligible for continuation of health insurance benefits with
standard employee contributions as required by the Family Medical Leave Act.
2.Employees who Report Dependencies and Seek Treatment after Committing a Policy Violation.
Employees who notify the City of drug or alcohol dependencies after violating this Policy may be subject to
discharge, irrespective of such dependencies.
The City may however, at its discretion, allow an employee to undergo evaluation and rehabilitation in lieu of
discharge, provided the employee promptly complies with the terms and conditions set forth in this Policy. The
City will consider the following factors in exercising its discretion: the employee’s length of service; the
employee’s work record, in particular, whether the employee has committed a previous alcohol or drug policy
infraction; the consequences of the violation; any other circumstances offered by the employee that militates
against discharge.
It is understood and agreed that the references to discipline and discharge set forth in this Policy and the
Rehabilitation and Return to Work Agreement are not intended to supersede “just cause” requirements.
ARTICLE 22-SAVINGS CLAUSE

To: Mayor Kathy Figley, and the Woodburn City Council
Re: Kalugin Estates, SUB 2012 -01, VAR 2012 -02, EXCP 2012 -01
For your consideration,
When the Planning Commission first received the Kalugin application, I confess that our
reaction was very similar to Council's reaction: This can't happen!
As we proceeded through the hearing, we began to see that very little else was possible on that
particular site. Aware that the site was not big enough to qualify for a planned unit
development, we carefully looked at the applicant's reason for coming back to us with this
proposal. A small lot development was the only thing feasible due to the narrowness of
property. A close look at the builder's plans for development showed that he had worked hard
to come up with a design that is practical for this land and pleasing to potential buyers.
Without going minute by minute through our deliberations, we all came to feel that the
affordable homes, albeit on small lots, would be economically feasible for the builder, give a
boost to a neighborhood in need of affordable housing, be an asset to neighborhood, and the
design would be an asset to the city as a whole.
We were determined that everyone understand that this approval did not reflect a change in
our determination to adhere to the WDO, but that it was rather, a practical way of looking at an
unusual property.
This became a simple matter of looking at the parcel and deciding what was best for the city of
Woodburn, the neighborhood, and the property owner. I hope that you will uphold our
unanimous decision.
Thank you.
