required improvements. Part of this agreement involves the actual work to be
performed by UPRR and the associated costs, which are the responsibility of the
City of Woodburn. Execution of thePublic Highway At-Grade Crossing
Agreement will allow the Hardcastle Avenue Realignment at Railroad project to
proceed.

SECTION 8.SAFETY MEASURES; PROTECTION
OF RAILROAD COMPANY OPERATIONS
It is understood and recognized that safety and continuity of the Railroad's
operations and communications are of the utmost importance; and in order that the
same may be adequately safeguarded, protected and assured, and in order that
accidents may be prevented and avoided, it is agreed with respect to all of said work
of the Political Body that the work will be performed in a safe manner and in conformity
with the following standards:
A.Definitions. All references in this Agreement to the Political Body shall also
include the Contractor and their respective officers, agents and employees, and others
acting under its or their authority; and all references in this Agreement to work of the
Political Body shall include work both within and outside of the Railroad’s property.
B.Entry on to Railroad's Property by Political Body. If the Political Body's
employees need to enter Railroad's property in order to perform an inspection of the
Roadway, minor maintenance or other activities, the Political Body shall first provide at
least ten (10) working days advance notice to the Railroad Representative. With
respect to such entry on to Railroad’s property, the Political Body, to the extent
permitted by law, agrees to release, defend and indemnify the Railroad from and
against any loss, damage, injury, liability, claim, cost or expense incurred by any person
including, without limitation, the Political Body’s employees, or damage to any property
or equipment (collectively the “Loss”) that arises from the presence or activitiesof
Political Body’s employees on Railroad’s property, except to the extent that any Loss is
caused by the sole direct negligence of Railroad.
C.Flagging.
(i)If the Political Body's employees need to enter Railroad's property as
provided in Paragraph Babove, the Political Body agrees to notify the Railroad
Representative at least thirty (30)working days in advance of proposed performance of
any work by Political Bodyin which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five
(25) feet of any track, or will be near enough to any track that any equipment extension
(such as, but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25) feet of
any track. No work of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment,
machinery, tool(s), material(s), vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed,
or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's track(s) at any time, for any
reason, unless and until a Railroad flagman is provided to watch for trains.Upon
receipt of such thirty (30) day notice, the Railroad Representative will determine and
inform Political Bodywhether a flagman need be present and whether Political Body
needs to implement any special protective or safety measures. If flagging or other
special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Railroad will bill
Political Bodyfor suchexpenses incurred by Railroad. If Railroad performs any
flagging, or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad,
37
Public Highway At-Grade Crossing 03/01/13
Standard Form Approved, AVP-Law
Political Bodyagrees that Political Bodyis not relieved of any of its responsibilities or
liabilities set forth in this Agreement.
(ii)The rate of pay per hour for each flagman will be the prevailing hourly rate
in effect for an eight-hour day for the class of flagmen used during regularly assigned
hours and overtime in accordance with Labor Agreements and Schedules in effect at
the time the work is performed. In addition to the cost of such labor, a composite
charge for vacation, holiday, health and welfare, supplemental sickness, Railroad
Retirement and unemployment compensation, supplemental pension, Employees
Liability and Property Damage and Administration will be included, computed on actual
payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in effect at the
time the work is performed. One and one-half times the current hourly rate is paid for
overtime, Saturdays and Sundays, and two and one-half times current hourly rate for
holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or by agreement
between Railroad and its employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations
or a ruling of an authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also
subject to change. If the wage rate or additional charges are changed, Political Body
shall pay on the basis of the new rates and charges.
(iii)Reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight-hour
day during which any flagman is furnished, unless the flagman can be assigned to other
Railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event reimbursement will not be
required for the portion of the day during which the flagman is engaged in other Railroad
work. Reimbursement will also be required for any day not actually worked by the
flagman following the flagman's assignment to work on the project for which Railroad is
required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably be avoided by Railroad by
assignment of such flagman to other work, even though Political Bodymay not be
working during such time. When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and
assign an employee to a flagging position in compliance with union collective bargaining
agreements, Political Bodymust provide Railroad a minimum of five (5) days notice
prior to the cessation of theneed for a flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is
not given, Political Bodywill still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day
notice period required by union agreement to be given to the employee, even though
flagging is not required for that period. An additional thirty (30)days notice must then
be given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again after such five day cessation
notice has been given to Railroad.
D. Compliance With Laws. The Political Body shall complywith all applicable
federal, state and local laws, regulations and enactments affecting the work. The
Political Body shall use only such methods as are consistent with safety, both as
concerns the Political Body, the Political Body's agents and employees, the officers,

Body (without limiting the generality of the foregoing) shall comply with all applicable
state and federal occupational safety and health acts and regulations. All Federal
Railroad Administration regulations shall be followed when work is performed on the
Railroad's premises. If any failure by the Political Body to comply with any such laws,
38
Public Highway At-Grade Crossing 03/01/13
Standard Form Approved, AVP-Law
regulations, and enactments, shall result in any fine, penalty, cost or charge being
assessed, imposed or charged against the Railroad, the Political Body shall reimburse,
andto the extent it may lawfully do so, indemnify the Railroad for any such fine,
penalty, cost, or charge, including without limitation attorney's fees, court costs and
expenses. The Political Body further agrees in the event of any such action, upon
notice thereof being provided by the Railroad, to defend such action free of cost,
charge, or expense to the Railroad.

and supervise all work to be performed by the PoliticalBody, and shall not inflict injury
to persons or damage to property for the safety of whom or of which the Railroad may
be responsible, or to property of the Railroad. The responsibility of the Political Body
for safe conduct and adequate policing and supervision of the Project shall not be
lessened or otherwise affected by the Railroad's approval of plans and specifications,
or by the Railroad's collaboration in performance of any work, or by the presence at
the work site of the Railroad's representatives, or by compliance by the Political Body
with any requests or recommendations made by such representatives. If a
representative of the Railroad is assigned to the Project, the Political Body will give
due consideration to suggestions and recommendations made by such representative
for the safety and protection of the Railroad's property and operations.
G. Suspension of Work. If at any time the Political Body's engineers or the Vice
President-Engineering Services of the Railroad or their respective representatives
shall be of the opinion that any work of the Political Body is being or is about to be
done or prosecuted without due regard and precaution for safety and security, the
Political Body shall immediately suspend the work until suitable, adequate and proper
protective measures are adopted and provided.

the Railroad's property. The Railroad reserves the right to impose such conditions,
restrictions or limitations on the transportation, handling, storage, security and use of
explosives as the Railroad, in the Railroad's sole discretion, may deem to be
necessary, desirable or appropriate.
J. Excavation. The Political Body shall not excavate from existing slopes nor
construct new slopes which are excessive and may create hazards of slides or falling
rock, or impair or endanger the clearance between existing or new slopes and the
tracks of the Railroad. The Political Body shall not do or cause to be done any work
which will or may disturb the stability of any area or adversely affect the Railroad's
tracks or facilities. The Political Body, at its own expense, shall install and maintain
adequate shoring and cribbing for all excavation and/or trenching performed by the
Political Body in connection with construction, maintenance or other work. The

Railroad's culvert and drainage facilities), so that said waters may not, because of any
facilities or work of the Political Body, be impeded, obstructed, diverted or caused to
back up, overflow or damage the property of the Railroad or any part thereof, or
property of others. The Political Body shall not obstruct or interfere with existing
ditches or drainage facilities.

TOCONTRACTOR'S RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT
GENERAL TERMS & CONDITIONS
Section 1.NOTICE OF COMMENCEMENT OF WORK - FLAGGING.
A.Contractor agrees to notify the Railroad Representative at least thirty (30) working days in advance of Contractor
commencing its work and at least ten (10) working days in advance of proposed performance of any work by
Contractor in which any person or equipment will be within twenty-five (25) feet of any track, or will be nearenough to
any track that any equipment extension (such as, but not limited to, a crane boom) will reach to within twenty-five (25)
feet of any track. No work of any kind shall be performed, and no person, equipment, machinery, tool(s), material(s),
vehicle(s), or thing(s) shall be located, operated, placed, or stored within twenty-five (25) feet of any of Railroad's
track(s) at any time, for any reason, unless and until a Railroad flagman is provided to watch for trains. Upon receipt
of such ten (10)-daynotice, the Railroad Representative will determine and inform Contractor whether a flagman need
be present and whether Contractor needs to implement any special protective or safety measures. If flagging or other
special protective or safety measures areperformed by Railroad, Railroad will bill Contractor for such expenses
incurred by Railroad, unless Railroad and a federal, state or local governmental entity have agreed that Railroad is to
bill such expenses to the federal, state or local governmental entity. If Railroad will be sending the bills to Contractor,
Contractor shall pay such bills within thirty (30) days of Contractor's receipt of billing. If Railroad performs any
flagging, or other special protective or safety measures are performed by Railroad, Contractor agrees that Contractor
is not relieved of any of its responsibilities or liabilities set forth in this Agreement.
B.The rate of pay per hour for each flagman will be the prevailing hourly rate in effect for an eight-hour day for the class
of flagmen used during regularly assigned hours and overtime in accordance with Labor Agreements and Schedules
in effect at the time the work is performed. In addition to the cost of such labor, a composite charge for vacation,
holiday, health and welfare, supplemental sickness, Railroad Retirement and unemployment compensation,
supplemental pension, Employees Liability and Property Damage and Administration will be included, computed on
actual payroll. The composite charge will be the prevailing composite charge in effect at the time the work is
performed. One and one-half times the current hourly rate is paid for overtime, Saturdays and Sundays, and two and
one-half times current hourly rate for holidays. Wage rates are subject to change, at any time, by law or by
agreement between Railroad and its employees, and may be retroactive as a result of negotiations or a ruling of an
authorized governmental agency. Additional charges on labor are also subject to change. If the wage rate or
additional charges are changed, Contractor (or the governmental entity, as applicable) shall pay on the basis of the
new rates and charges.
C.Reimbursement to Railroad will be required covering the full eight-hour day during which any flagman is furnished,
unless the flagman can be assigned to other Railroad work during a portion of such day, in which event
reimbursement will not be required for the portion of the day during which the flagman is engaged in other Railroad
work. Reimbursement will also be required forany day not actually worked by the flagman following the flagman's
assignment to work on the project for which Railroad is required to pay the flagman and which could not reasonably
be avoided by Railroad by assignment of such flagman to other work , eventhough Contractor may not be working
during such time. When it becomes necessary for Railroad to bulletin and assign an employee to a flagging position
in compliance with union collective bargaining agreements, Contractor must provide Railroad a minimum of five (5)
days notice prior to the cessation of the need for a flagman. If five (5) days notice of cessation is not given,
Contractor will still be required to pay flagging charges for the five (5) day notice period required by union agreement
to be given to the employee, even though flagging is not required for that period. An additional ten (10) days notice
must then be given to Railroad if flagging services are needed again after such five day cessation notice has been
given to Railroad.
Section 2.LIMITATION AND SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS GRANTED
A.The foregoing grant of right is subject and subordinate to the prior and continuing right and obligation of the Railroad
to use and maintain its entire property including the right and power of Railroad toconstruct, maintain, repair, renew,
use, operate, change, modify or relocate railroad tracks, roadways, signal, communication, fiber optics, or other
wirelines, pipelines and other facilities upon, along or across any or all parts of its property, all or any of which may be

freely done at any time or times by Railroad without liability to Contractor or to any other party for compensation or
damages.
B.The foregoing grant is also subject to all outstanding superior rights (including those in favor of licensees and lessees
of Railroad's property, and others) and the right of Railroad to renew and extend the same, and is made without
covenant of title or for quiet enjoyment.
Section 3.NO INTERFERENCE WITH OPERATIONS OF RAILROAD AND ITS TENANTS.
A.Contractor shall conduct its operations so as not to interfere with the continuous and uninterrupted use and operation
of the railroad tracks and property of Railroad, including without limitation, the operations of Railroad's lessees,
licensees or others, unlessspecifically authorized in advance by the Railroad Representative. Nothing shall be done
or permitted to be done by Contractor at any time that would in any manner impair the safety of such operations.
When not in use, Contractor's machinery and materials shall be kept at least fifty (50) feet from the centerline of
Railroad's nearest track, and there shall be no vehicular crossings of Railroads tracks except at existing open public
crossings.
B.Operations of Railroad and work performed by Railroad personnel and delays in the work to be performed by
Contractor caused by such railroad operations and work are expected by Contractor, and Contractor agrees that
Railroad shall have no liability to Contractor, or any other person or entity for any such delays. The Contractor shall
coordinate its activities with those of Railroad and third parties so as to avoid interference with railroad operations.
The safe operation of Railroad train movements and other activities by Railroad takes precedence over any work to
be performed by Contractor.
Section 4.LIENS.
Contractor shall pay in full all persons who perform labor or provide materials for the work to be performed by
Contractor. Contractor shall not create, permit or suffer any mechanic's or materialmen's liens of any kind or nature to be
created or enforced against any property of Railroad for any such work performed. Contractor shall indemnify and hold
harmless Railroad from and against any and all liens, claims, demands, costs or expenses of whatsoever nature in any
way connected with or growing out of such work done, labor performed, or materials furnished. If Contractor fails to
promptly cause any lien to be released of record, Railroad may, at its election, discharge the lien or claim of lien at
Contractor's expense.
Section 5.PROTECTION OF FIBER OPTIC CABLE SYSTEMS.
A.Fiber optic cable systems may be buried on Railroad's property. Protection of the fiber optic cable systems is of
extreme importance since any break could disrupt service to users resulting in business interruption and loss of
revenue and profits. Contractor shall telephone Railroad during normal business hours (7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Central Time, Monday through Friday, except holidays) at 1-800-336-9193 (also a 24-hour, 7-day number for
emergency calls) to determine if fiber optic cable is buried anywhere on Railroad's property to be used by Contractor.
If it is, Contractor will telephone the telecommunications company(ies) involved, make arrangements for a cable
locator and, if applicable, for relocation or other protection of the fiber optic cable. Contractor shall not commence any
work until all such protection or relocation (if applicable) has been accomplished.
B. In addition to other indemnity provisions inthis Agreement, Contractor shall indemnify, defend and hold Railroad
harmless from and against all costs, liability and expense whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees,
court costs and expenses) arising out of any act or omission of Contractor, its agents and/or employees, that causes
or contributes to (1) any damage to or destruction of any telecommunications system on Railroad's property, and/or
(2) any injury to or death of any person employed by or on behalf of any telecommunicationscompany, and/or its
contractor, agents and/or employees, on Railroad's property. Contractor shall not have or seek recourse against
Railroad for any claim or cause of action for alleged loss of profits or revenue or loss of service or other consequential
damage to a telecommunication company using Railroad's property or a customer or user of services of the fiber optic
cable on Railroad's property.

this decision.
BACKGROUND:
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on April11, 2019and

Commission motion of approval. One attending party, Pamela Freeman of La

proposal.
The request was for “pawn, check cashing, payday loan and cash transfer”
pursuant to Woodburn Development Ordinance (WDO) Table 2.03A, B18, and
the conditional use criteria of 5.03.01for Tax Lot 051W18BA00300 in the

The site near the north/northwest corner of N. First and W. Hayes Streets in the
historic downtown developed in 1949 and remains occupied by the one-story
commercial retail building. The proposal is about land use only; no
redevelopment or site plan is relevant.
The subject property contains twovacantcommercial tenant spaces, 425 & 445
N. First Street, of which the applicant proposesthe conditional use in only one.
Because conditional use approval is tied to property and not a specific business,
the Commission’s final decision applies to the subject property in its entirety.
