Mayor Figley congratulated thc Park Department and staff members who operate the
Teen Scene program over the praise they received in the League of Oregon Cities Youth
Program report. Our program was the star program for youth in cities of 9,000 to 30,000
population.
Councilor McCallum also stated that he was pleased to see that the Teen Scene program
was renewed for a second year under the Department of Justice grant and that they had
received a high rating for their first year of operation. He also thanked Aquatic Manager
Newport for his work in gathering the statistics which show that the revenue is slightly
higher and the head count is lower. However, a realistic counting procedure is now in
place at the Aquatic Center for maintaining consistent report numbers.
MCCALLUM/NICHOLS... adopt the consent agenda as presented. The motion passed
unanimously.
0675 COUNCIL BILL 2468 - ORDINANCE PROHIBITING PUBLIC PLACE
PARKING IN A PORTION OF THE DOWNTOWN AREA TO PREVENT
INTERFERENCE WITH OPERATION OF THE 2003 SEPTEMBER 16TM
1045
CELEBRATION.
Councilor Sifuentez introduced Council Bill 2468. Recorder Tennant read the two
readings of the bill by title only since there were no objections from the Council.
Councilor McCallum expressed his opinion that this event will require a lot of publicity
since it will coincide with the Mt. Angel Oktoberfest. He also felt that parking
information needs to be broadcasted not only by radio but through other media sources.
Administrator Brown stated that there will be extensive radio coverage from two different
radio stations over the next few weeks. Staff concern is that there will so many people in
attendance that there will not be enough space to take care of the people attending this
event. The radio stations will be the primary means of letting people know where the
parking locations will be and City busses will be used to transport attendees from the
parking locations to the downtown area. It was noted that the event will be held on
September 13th and 14th.
On roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. Mayor Figley declared Council Bill
2468 duly passed.
COUNCIL BILL 2469 - RESOLUTION ENTERING INTO GRANT
AGREEMENT NO. 20836 WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION.
Council Bill 2469 was introduced by Councilor Sifuentez. Recorder Tennant read the bill
by title only since there were no objections from the Council.

On roll call vote for final passage, the bill passed unanimously. Mayor Figtey declared
Council Bill 2469 duly passed.
1115 OREGON LIQUOR LICENSE APPLICATION: SALVADOR'S BAKERY 111,320
N. Pacific Highway.
An application for a greater privilege Full On-Premise Sales was submitted by Salvador
Larios. Within Chief Russell's staff report, he expressed concerns regarding the license
application which would allow for the sale and on-premise consumption of distilled
spirits, malt beverages, and wine when (1) the nature of the business is primarily a
bakery, food, and grocery store; (2) the location is in close proximity to the Highway 99E
Safety Corridor; and (3) there are already a number of full on-premise licenses within that
area.
Mayor Figley stated that she had spoken with the Chief and Deputy Chief and she has
similar concerns on this license request but is unsure if those concerns can be addressed
through Oregon Administrative Rules and Oregon law as they now stand. Her issues are
with the driving patterns, the location, and the number of DUI's and subsequent accidents
that seem to happen on Highway 99E.
Councilor Cox stated that he shared the concerns expressed by the Mayor, however, he is
not sure if another hard liquor outlet is needed in this area and, even if there was a need,
he questioned if the restaurant would generate enough food sales to make the OLCC
percentage requirements applicable for this type of license. Since the Council can only
recommend granting or denial of a license, and, based on information in the staff report, it
does not seem likely that OLCC will pay attention to a negative recommendation from the
Council. He stated that he would be voting no on this issue unless additional information
is brought forth during Council discussion that would change his vote.
Councilor McCallum agreed with comments made by Councilor Cox and stated that he
has expressed concerns in the past on the number of establishments on Highway 99E and
the safety corridor issue. He reminded the Council that Salvador's Bakery does have a
beer and wine license and the owner has submitted an application to add distilled spirits
for financial gain. He recognized the fact that the City does not have as much say in
whether or not a license is granted by OLCC, however, he is inclined to vote for a denial
of the license in an effort to let OLCC know that the City has concerns that need to be
addressed.
Councilor Nichols stated that it is time that the City takes a stand especially in an area
where Highway 99E is an established Safety Corridor and OLCC should recognize that
the City has a right to say no on a license application.
Councilor Cox stated that any motion to deny the license needs to state some reasons for
the denial so that OLCC knows why the Council is taking the position they are on this
Page 4 - Council Meeting Minutes, August 11, 2003

AUGUST 11, 2003
TAPE
READING
1890
application. He cited the following reasons for denial: (1)Council does not feel that there
is any public necessity for it and that this use is incompatible with the location and the
area is becoming over saturated with this type of outlet, (2) traffic problems on Highway
99E, and (3) this establishment does not appear to be a typical restaurant that is serving
hard liquor.
Councilor Sifuentez stated that the Police Chief is recommending approval of the license
even though he cites issues of concern. She also stated that she has a concern about
taking a stand to deny at this time when the Council has recommended other licenses in
this area in more recent times.
Administrator Brown stated that a compliance plan is already in place at this location.
Annually, the Council reviews licenses and the Council can make a recommendation to
deny based on problems experienced at the business establishment.
Deputy Chief Youmans stated that the City has 28 days to submit a recommendation to
OLCC once the application has been received by the City. Due to the time constraint,
there is insufficient time for the Council to refer the matter back to staff for the purpose
of drafting a motion to deny the license which would include a list of reasons to
substantiate the denial.
COX/NICHOLS... recommend to OLCC that this license application be denied for the
reasons that (1) there is a lack of need and, in fact, this licensee, if granted, would be in a
bad location in terms of traffic and the Safety Corridor on Highway 99E, (2) the business
is in a location where there are already as many licenses as the area can handle, and (3)
the license does not appear to be in conjunction with established or proposed typical
restaurant operation but would rather be primarily a bar and dance hall with a bakery and
grocery store in front.
On roll call vote, the vote was 3-1 with Councilor Sifuentez voting nay.
Mayor Figley questioned if the motion was passed by the Council since there were only 3
aye votes.
City Attorney Shields stated that, under the City Charter, a motion passes when there is a
concurrence of the members present. Since there are 4 members of the Council present at
this meeting, this motion is approved with the 3-1 vote.
2164 CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING: APPEAL OF DESIGN REVIEW 02-12
AND VARIANCE 03-01 "COASTAL FARM SUPPLY EXPANSION" - 1550 MT.
HOOD AVENUE.
Mayor Figley declared the continuation of the public hearing open at 7:37 p.m.. She
requested that the Council continue the hearing to September 22, 2003 per the request of
the applicant.
NICHOLS/MCCALLUM... continue the public hearing on Design Review 02-12 and
Variance 03-01 to the City Council meeting of September 22, 2003 pursuant to the
applicant's request. The motion passed unanimously.

2239 PUBLIC HEARING: THORN STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION.
Mayor Figley declared the public hearing open at 7:38 p.m..
Public Works Manager Rohman stated that the proposed area to be vacated is an
undeveloped 50 foot right-of-way of approximately 90 foot in depth with the west end of
the right-of-way intersecting with Settlemier Avenue and the east end meeting the defined
boundary of Settlemier Park. The property owner to the north of Thorn Street has used
the north half of this street for many years as a driveway and the section to the south
looks like it is part of Settlemier park. If the street vacation is approved, one half of the
right-of-way would be given to the property owner to the north and the remainder would
be part of the park even though it would not be within the official boundary of Settlemier
Park as defined by the National Park Service. Staff will be constructing a fence along the
west side of the Third Street right-of-way to provide a permanent separation between the
residential properties and the park property. Public notices relating to this vacation
process were published in the Woodburn Independent within the statutory requirements
and notices were posted at both ends of the proposed vacation.
No one in the audience spoke either for or against the proposed vacation of the right-of-
way.
Mayor Figley declared the public hearing closed at 7:42 p.m..
NICHOLS/SIFUENTEZ... instruct staff to perform analysis on the public input received
and present a recommendation for further Council action on the proposed vacation. The
motion passed unanimously.
2620
Richard Jennings, 595 Filbert St., commended the Council for taking a stand on liquor
licenses within the City and, even though he agreed with Councilor Sifuentez on her
concern about whether this was the appropriate time to turn the license down, he felt that
the Council should do something to get OLCC's attention when there are no applications
pending. He strongly suggested that the Council begin talking to their legislators and
other community leaders so that City Councils within our State have some say in what
type of business activity occurs within their cities.
2798 PLANNING COMMISSION OR ADMINISTRATIVE LAND USE ACTIONS:
A) Community Development Director's approval of Design Review 03-10 which will
allow for a 998 square foot addition to the existing Denny's Restaurant located at 2919
Newberg Highway.
No action was taken by the Council on this land use action.

Mayor Figley thanked the Police Department and all of the neighborhoods participating in
the National Night Out event. She also thanked the Fiesta Committee for naming her as
Grand Marshall of the Fiesta Parade and to Kip Miles for loaning a convertible for the
Fiesta Queen and First Princess to ride in along the parade route.
Mayor Figley stated that the Mayor's Golf Tournament was held last weekend and the
organizers did an excellent job in putting on a great event which was enjoyed by a large
number of people. This year's beneficiaries of the event will be the Teen Scene Program
and Woodburn Together.
Lastly, she stated that the 4th Annual Walt's Run was held last Saturday and it was also a
successful event.

A___:. Woodburn City Council Minutes of June 23, 2003.
PUBLIC HEARING
A. Subdivision 03-01, request for a 88 lot sinRle family residential subdivision to be developed
as Phase III of Montebello Subdivision, Capital Development, applicant.
Staff read the applicable ORS Statement and a presentation was provided as reflected in the Staff Report.
Staff recommended approval of the applications subject to conditions, based on the information in the report,
the information provided by the applicant and the applicable review criteria.
EX-PARTE CONTACTS
None
Commissioner Loner,qan requested clarification to the condition of approval item #18 found on page 22 of the
Staff Report.
Staff explained the reserve strip is so that the applicant can be reimbursed for the street improvements.
Moreover, the Public Works Department wants to have access to continue the road thru the north/south roads.
Chairperson Lima asked Staff for confirmation regarding the small non-significant wetland in the process of
being delineated by a consultant.
Planning Commission Meeting - July 24, 2003

Staff replied there are no wetlands showing on the local wetlands inventory and therefore, they are not
designated as significant.
Commissioner Bandelow referred to condition of approval Item #11 regarding an all weather sign and asked
for further explanation.
Staff replied that condition is required because the code states "shaft"and not "should". He further explained
the sign would be located at the end of the north/south section. Staff further explained the sign would make
the public aware that street is not a dead end or cul-de-sac and it is intended to be extended.
Commissioner Bandelow commented it just seems it will imply to the buyers and the people driving thru to look
at the property that there is another section to be developed. She further remarked that will be confusing
rather than helpful.
Commissioner Grigorieff expressed concerns with traffic and bottleneck on Highway 214 since a traffic impact
study was not conducted for this project. She also inquired if there are any plans to alleviate that problem?
Staff explained a traffic impact analysis was not required on this project because it did not meet the threshold
of a thousand trips per day, however, there will obviously be a traffic impact. He went on to explain the
Transportation System Plan (TSP) looks at traffic impact based on the land uses laid out in the City's
Comprehensive Plan. The plan addresses this entire area and designates this property as Low Density
Residential. Additionally, the Transportation System Plan determines how many trips are to be generated by
all the different land uses within the City and is done by the area and a model generated which indicates how
much traffic you will have on the existing streets. Then it is determined whether the existing street system can
accommodate that or not and if it can not be accommodated, plans are made on how to upgrade. Staff
explained under Oregon State Law, the system wide improvements are to be made in conjunction with the
TSP and that is to be done thru the City's Capital Improvement Program. Individual developers developing
their property under the current zoning are not required to make system wide improvements unless, under
our code, they are required interior, boundary or connecting streets. In closing, Staff indicated we are limited
on what we can require this development to do outside of having them improve boundary and connecting
streets. He also explained System Development Charges (SDC) are to go toward increasing the capacity that
is generated by the new development.
TESTIMONY BY THE APPLICANT
Jeff Oswald, P.O. Box 3487, Lacey, WA 98509 stated he is present tonight on behalf of John Donaldson who
is having back troubles and was unable to attend tonight's meeting. He reported this is their third development
in the area having already done Montebello I and I1. Mr. Oswald thanked Staff for their assistance and efforts
with the project. Mr. Oswald further remarked the application meets all of the City's requirements and
respectfully requested that the Commission approve the application.
George Wilhelm, Wilhelm En.qineerin.q, P.O. Box 561, Woodburn, OR 97071 represented the applicant,
Capital Development Co., Inc. He provided a quick history of the property and phases. Mr. Wilhelm also
reported a final plat approval application has been submitted and they expect the Woodburn Town Center plat
will be recorded within the next 60 days. Additionally, he indicated they have also submitted conceptual plans
for infrastructure improvements, such as, transportation, storm sewer, sanitary sewer and water. He
explained Evergreen Rd. will be extended from its terminus from the Walmart entrance on down to the south
end of the property. It is hoped that this will help with the Transportation System Plan and relieve some of the
congestion by taking it down to the arterials previously mentioned. A brief historywas provided by Mr. Wilhelm
regarding the wetlands issue. He reported work with a consultant was done, at the request from Staff, to
determine what might be wetlands on the site. Since that time, they met with Division of State Lands and they
have identified and asked them to take a look at some other areas on site that might have been wetlands
years ago and/or might be wetlands today. It was further stated by Mr. Wilhelm they are in the process of
identifying those, delineating them and getting Division of State Lands concurrence. The small area they have
Planning Commission Meeting - July 24, 2003
Page 2 of 9
13
asked them to look at is in the proposed Montebello III area. He also indicated in the event that Division of
State Lands and their consultant agree that they do have some wetlands in that area, the option they have
and the option Capital Development will take, is to purchase wetland credits from a wetland bank so that a
large area can be developed at some other site so it can actually be a useable wetland for plant and fauna.
Mr. Wilhelm indicated a transportation analysis was started using 97 lots. Although, they did not complete
that, they did obtain a draft report from Lancaster Engineering concluding all studied intersection currently
operate acceptably and will continue to operate acceptably in the year 2020 with or without the development
of Montebello III. In summary, Mr. Wilhelm stated they believe the application meets all of the applicable
criteria for approval and find the Staff Repod to be complete and adequately addresses the pertinent criteria.
Commissioner Lonerqan inquired how many lots and/or units are currently empty in Montebello I and I17 He
also asked what is the time frame for Montebello Ill?
Geor.qe Wilhelm replied he did not know how many lots/units are currently vacant. However, he believed
Montebello I is pretty much built out and there are a significant number of lots still available in Montebello II.
He stated the company that built on Montebello lis interested in purchasing all of the lots in Montebello III and
he believed they would like to get started as soon as possible.
Commissioner Lonerqan questioned Mr. Wilhelm whether they have any issues with any of the conditions of
approval?
George Wilhelm responded they would certainly like to see some alternatives to the solid block wall
requirements however, they have gone up that road before. They reviewed the conditions and feel they can
live with the proposals and conditions.

TESTIMONY BY OPPONENTS
Sharon Hobson, 15227 Stubb Rd., Gervais, OR said she is not really an opponent as she knows nothing will
halt the project. She asked if the barrier in Montebello II is a dead end road? Additionally, she inquired who
will maintain the reserve strip?
Staff answered the area is not a dead end road and it is anticipated to go thru. Montebello II was approved
under the old zoning ordinance that did not have the current ordinance requirement as this requirement just
came into effect a year ago. Staff was unaware as to how the street improvements will be. However, if there
is curb line sidewalk, then there is excess right-of-way anyway and the extra foot will not be noticed. There
would be a foot between the sidewalk and Mrs. Hobson's property if it is a property sidewalk.
Sharon Hobson further expressed concerns with people tearing down the fence and trespassing on Mrs.
Smith's property. She indicated they do not want this to occur at the ends of these roads.
REBUTTAL
George Wilhelm commented they would run the curb all the way thru and would not break the curb at the
intersection and that should give people a better idea that right now they are not going to be going thru that
area.
Commissioner Bandelow remarked it seemed having a long straight stretch of cement with no houses behind
it or driveways would be more than an unattractive nuisance than anything.
Staff said the applicant is responsible for dedicating and improving the full right-of-way even if we do not
require them to actually put the sidewalk in. The sidewalk would not be required until there is a need for it
and if it is never developed there would not be a need for it. Moreover, the only way to relieve the applicant
of that responsibility is to grant either an exception or a variance from full right-of-way improvements.

DISCUSSION
Chairperson Lima closed the public hearing and opened for Commission discussion.
Commissioner Lonerqan noted the subdivision fits in good with the Montebello I and II; the application looks
good and he favored the project.
Commissioner Bandelow agreed with Commissioner Lonergan and stated the application meets all the criteria
and will be voting in favor of the project.
Commissioner Griqorieff concurred as well and indicated she will vote in favor.
Commissioner Vancil was also in agreement with his fellow Commissioners and pointed out this subdivision
is very well planned with appropriate sized lots and a decent addition to the City.
Chairperson Lima had no problems with the application and it is a nice addition to the other phases.
Commissioner Bandelow made a motion to approve Subdivision 03-01 application and requested Staff return
with a final order with findings and conditions of approval. Commissioner Vancil seconded the motion. Motion
unanimously carried.
B. Subdivision 03-02, Variance 03-11, Zone Adjustment 03-01, and Property Line Adjustment 03-
04, request for a 24 lot residential subdivision, variance request to the minimum lot depth and
width requiremetnt, zoning adjustment on Lot 21 to allow for a duplex on a lot that is not the
minimum required lot size of 10,000 sq. ft. and property line adjustment between Lot 22 and
property to the east, located on W. Lincoln St., Robert Montgomery, applicant.
EX-PARTE CONTACTS
None
The applicable ORS Statement was read by Staff and a presentation was provided as reflected in the Staff
Report. Based on the information in the report, the information provided by the applicant and the applicable
review criteria, findings can not be made of Zone Adjustment 03-01 and part of Variance 03-11 that applies
to the Variance for duplex on Lot #24; findings can be made for approval of Subdivision 03-02; the other
portions of Variance 03-11 and Property Line Adjustment 03-04 subject to the conditions of approval which
were listed in the Staff Report.
Commissioner Gri.qorieff asked who will take care of the private access?
Staff responded the homeowners would be responsible for the private access easement. She further reported
the easement is required to be 24 ft. in width and 20 ft. for the improved width and is only allowed to be
accessed by four dwelling units.
Chairperson Lima questioned whether there will be any police or fire access to that street? He also inquired
if parking will be permitted on the private land?
Staff replied the Fire Dept. did not have a problem with access to that street but they are requiring addresses
for the four lots in the rear be provided at the private access easement where it abuts Cozy Way so that they
will be able to find those properties in the rear. She reported parking will not be allowed along the private
access easement. The code requires they have a pad to meet parking requirements as well as two cars
being able to park within the garage for each of those homes.
Commissioner Loner,qan referred to the Variance needed for the orientation of four lots and asked since this
is a new subdivision and nothing has ever been plotted there before why do we need to reverse what we are
Planning Commission Meeting - July 24, 2003
Page 4 of 9
calling a frontage and why was it not designed that way?
Staff answered normally you would just have a flag lot in the rear if you have a private access easement. She
further explained the code defines the front property line as the line parallel to Cozy Way. Staff reported when
you have more than one lot behind a flag lot, they just ended up being further on the private access easement.
Moreover, it makes more sense to have them access the private access easement because they are oriented
towards that versus the street.
TESTIMONY BY THE APPLICANT
Robert Montgomery, 5373 Verda Ln. NE, Keizer, OR 97307 stated he is one of the members of the Limited
Liability Corporation. He commented there was some struggle with the property primarily because it is an infill
project and were limited as to what could be done on the property. Mr. Montgomery further mentioned the
plan before the Commission tonight is the best of all the plans they ended up with because they have the least
amount of Variances. Additionally, he made note it is difficult to meet the depth requirement of 100 ft. and
a 60 ft. average width when you have infill properties. Mr. Montgomery expressed concerns with Staff's denial
recommendation regarding the duplex lot. He explained it really has the same widths the other duplex lots
have and the only thing that differs is that it is 310 sq. ft. shy which is why the are requesting the zonin9
adjustment. He indicated you would never be able to get a duplex built on anything built less than 10,000 sq.
ft. He asked the Commission approve the Subdivision, Variances and also throw in the duplexes on Lot #24.
Commissioner Bandelow asked Mr. Montgomery whether he will be putting duplexes on Lot #22?
Robed MontRomery replied affirmatively.
TESTIMONY BY PROPONENTS
Scott Montgomery, P.O. Box 15090, Salem, OR 97309 referred to the Staff Report comments regarding
retaining the trees He mentioned them are several trees that are right in the middle of where the sidewalk
is to be placed and he is unsure whether Public Works will allow for a tree to remain in the right-of-way.
Although, he would love to save the trees, he is uncertain that will be possible because trees uproot sidewalks
and cause problems for Public Works and for neighbors to maintain their sidewalks. The tree located on Lot
#19 will be in harms way when they pipe the open channel ditch and he could not guarantee they will be able
to save that tree as well as the other trees along that area. Additionally, he seconded Mr. Montgomery's
statement regarding the duplex lot #24 and stated it seemed counterproductive to have a Variance application
for a duplex lot when you already have sufficient square footage for a single family dwelling. He concurred
with the rest of the comments made by Staff regarding the north and south side of the project.
Commissioner Bandelow inquired if a number of trees have already been removed from the property?
Scott Montgomery responded no significant (6" diameter) trees had been removed.
Chairperson Lima asked Mr. Montgomery whether he is related to the applicant?
Scott Montgomery answered he is not related to the applicant.
TESTIMONY BY OPPONENTS
Debbie Bramla,qe, 503 Cozy Way, Woodburn, OR 97071 said her residence is just at the bottom of the road.
She mentioned the trees that were already removed from the property were quite a few big trees. She
indicated she did not wish to have a duplex put in because that brings renters instead of buyers and she would
rather have single home buyers that take care of their property. Additionally, she remarked a precedent would
be set if the applicant is allowed to build in spite the fact that they are a few hundred square feet short.
Moreover, Mrs. Bramlage questioned why does there need to be so many homes in one area if there is worry
about depth and width and trying to make everything jingle and jangle just to put four homes in instead of
seven.
It was also reported by Mrs. Bramlage the traffic on Hayes is horrendous particularly with Wal-Mart opening
Planning Commission Meeting - Jul), 24, 2003
Page 5 of 9
16
up and with people not wanting to use Highway 214 anymore. Moreover, she watches all year long people
not stopping for the Nellie Muir students. New homes will generate more students to Nellie Muir and the
school does not have enough room as it is for children. She expressed her displeasure with the opening up
of Cozy Way because that would increase traffic going from Lincoln St. thru her area especially when Lincoln
St. is paved. Mrs. Bramlage reported when she moved into the area they were flooded and ended up suing
the homebuilder because all the water had no where to go and it went into their basements. She closed by
questioning what will happen when redirection of drainage from the swell to storm drain and connected to the
existing culvert?
REBUTTAL
Scott Montqomery addressed the storm drain issue but felt the other issues were not something he felt he
should comment on. He explained they are connecting to a 30" culvert that is along the property line.
Mr. Montgomery indicated the Public Works comments addressed this issue and they will be required to
provide on-site detention if the capacity of the 30" pipe is not there. They will have to hold all of the increased
run off on-site before they release into the 30" storm drain. He explained on-site detention is meant to remove
the impact downstream on a storm drain system.
Robert Montgomery interjected a 3 ft. storm line has been put in as part of the Lincoln St. improvements and
suspected the bulk of his property on the south side will be accessed into that new storm drain which should
take most of the pressure off the south side by redirecting it.
DISCUSSION
The public hearing was closed by Chairperson Lima and discussion opened among the Commissioners.
Commissioner Vancil had problems with the entire project and it seemed to him they are trying to stick 20,000
items into a 10 lb. bag. He mentioned the application has too many Variances and felt there are too many
lots on too small a space. Commissioner Vancil felt it will not be a positive addition to the City and would vote
against the project.
Commissioner Bandelow stated although she did not wish to see the Variances for the additional duplex
planned, the City does not have an overwhelming number of duplexes and there is a need for that. She
believed there is no need to have multiple Variances in order to account for that as it is the Commission's job
to see as few Variances as possible. Commissioner Bandelow further noted this type of infill development
is something that we are mandated by the State to do and until we fill that area we can not grow on the
outside. She further commented the lots are a pretty good size considering they have some Variances in the
terms of the way they are going to set these out on the private access. Commissioner Bandelow understood
the concerns on Cozy Way, nonetheless, if there is a problem with what is required by Public Works the
applicant will be required to do detention. In closing, she said although it is not a perfect plan, there is a need
for infill and the applicant planned pretty well for such. Commissioner Bandelow indicated she would vote in
favor of the project however, she agreed with Staff that the two duplexes are sufficient and to do additional
Variances in order to grant a third is not necessary.
Commissioner Lonerqan concurred with Commissioner Bandelow in that we are somewhat limited on what
we can do with the infill lots and we do need to move forward on it. He appreciated the effort gone in to the
project by the developers and Staff. Commissioner Lonergan felt comfortable that the drainage issue,
according to Public Works condition item #22, will be addressed and handled in a satisfactory manner.
Reference was made to condition item #2 and he requested a response regarding the request on the trees.
Staff reported the condition was written to state that the tree on Lot #22 and Lot #19 be retained until
recordation of the final plat. In this manner, Staff and the developer could work together and decide whether
to keep the trees or not. It was further explained by Staff the current development ordinance allows the
property owner to remove up to three significant trees per year which means the developer could conceivably
remove the trees at that time. If for some reason the project never goes forward because of the final plat, at
least the trees would stay there until some future time that somebody else wants to do something or we may
Planning Commission Meeting - July 24, 2003
Page 6 of 9
1'/'
have a tree ordinance at that time that may be in effect.
Commissioner Lonerqan concluded by stating he favored the project. However, he wished we had 10,000
sq. ft. lots here and the issue regarding overcrowding on streets and schools needs to be addressed.
Commissioner Griqorieff also agreed with Commissioner Lonergan. Moreover, she agreed with Staff's
recommendation to deny the Variance regarding Lot #24.
Chairperson Lima complimented both the applicant and Staff for the work and effort put forth on the
application. Additionally, extra kudos to Staff for trying to preserve the trees which is something he would like
to see more often. He encouraged the developers to find a way to preserve the trees because it is a legacy
very difficult to replace and certainly could be an enhancement to the subdivision. He also agreed with the
comment made regarding crowding City streets and schools. However, he said there are codes, criteria and
ordinances that have to be followed and there is very little that can be done if those are met. Chairperson
Lima mentioned a comparison between other city codes or ordinances to Woodburn's is unfair. In closing,
he stated he would vote in favor of the project even though he would like to see larger lot sizes.
Commissioner Loner,qan made a motion to approve Subdivision 03-02 and portions of Variance 03-11 other
than t hose t hat a fleet Lot #24 a nd approve Property Line Adjustment 0 3-04 subject t o conditions a nd
recommendations by Staff. Commissioner Bandelow seconded the motion. Motion carried with
Commissioner Vancil voting No.
ITEMS FOR ACTION
A_~. Final Order for Variance 03-20, Conditional Use 03-01 and Design Review 03-02, request to
expand existing 13,225 sq. ft. main fire station with a 6,197 sq. ft. addition and build a new
4,800 sa. ft. stora_cle buildin.q located at 1776 Newberg Hwy., Woodburn Rural Fire Protection
District, ap~)licant.
A motion was made b y Commissioner L oner.qan t o accept t he Final Order. Commissioner B andelow
seconded the motion, which unanimously carried.
B. Final Order for Variance 03-12, Partition 03-02 and Design Review 03-05, request to remodel
the 5,400 sq. ft. existing building, construct a 15,400 sq. ft. two story building addition, build
a new 48 space parking lot and allow a variance to the street standards on E. Lincoln St.,
located at 120 E, Lincoln St., Chemeketa Community College, al)l~licant.
Commissioner Loner.qan pointed out during the hearing a discussion was had regarding the north parking lot
and street light improvements and the applicant verbally agreed to do the improvements. However, that was
never part of the motion.
Staff indicated they have to comply with the lighting requirements of the development ordinance which
contains parking lighting requirements. The street lighting will have to comply with whatever the City
standards for street lighting is which they may or may not be responsible for.
Commissioner Lonergan noted the Staff Report mentioned lighting was not required because it was going to
be a day facility.
Staff interjected she is not aware of anything that requires the parking lot to have the lighting just the type of
lighting is regulated.
Commissioner Vancil recalled the discussion had during the hearing was if the applicant did not light the
parking lot somehow it would be secured so it could not be used after dark and the applicant indicated at that
time they had no problems with that and they would just carry the lighting on down to match what was being
done on the other side but there is no record of that.
Commissioner Bandelow also added there were some concerns whether old fashioned lighting would be
Planning Commission Meeting - July 24, 2003
Page 7 of 9
18
adequate for a parking lot.
Commissioner Lonerqan further commented the Commission was also concerned that the parking lot would
be used after dark.
Staff explained rule of thumb is if there isn't a code requirement and the Commission does not condition it,
there is no assurance it will occur. Staff reported there isn't anything in the Architectural Design Guidelines
stating you have to provide a certain amount of lighting.
Commissioner Lonergan mentioned everyone agreed however there should be something in writing that
states they do it.
Staff explained the applicant already needs to submit a revised site plan showing certain things and suggested
the addition to that to submit a lighting plan for the north parking lot. He further stated the applicant has the
opportunity to appeal the Commission's decision to City Council if they do not agree with it. Although it is not
known when Phase II is going to happen and who will be on Staff at that time, the safest way to handle this
is to have a condition that makes that clear that they are at least to comply with lighting standards of the
development ordinance. This would put Staff on notice to make sure they go back and review that.
Commissioner Bandelow made a motion to modify condition item #3 to add subsection D that states show
lighting within the proposed northerly parking lot complies with WDO Section 3.107.06. F. 2 and authorize the
Chairperson t o sign t he Final Order after S taft h as made t hat modification. Motion w as seconded b y
Commissioner Vancil. Motion unanimously carried.
DISCUSSION ITEMS
There was some discussion regarding 6,000-10,000 sq. ft. lots.
Staff indicated the City would never be able to expand their Urban Growth Boundary with 10,000 sq. ft. lots
as a standard. Although you could create a zone where you had 10,000 sq. ft. lots, you would have to offset
that with higher density elsewhere.
Commissioner Vancil requested there be a Planning Commission workshop some time regarding the
Transportation System Plan, traffic impact fees, etc.
Staff remarked the topic could be addressed under Discussion Items at a regularly scheduled Planning
Commission meeting and he could invite Randy Rohman from the Public Works Department to address those
issues.

BUSINESS FROM THE COMMISSION
Commissioner B andelow mentioned t he City required t he developers o f t he Joy Village Subdivision t o
preserve the huge tree along their property which he did. She reported she assumed the utility company went
thru and ripped the whole tree out. Commissioner Bandelow requested an investigation be done to determine
who was responsible for that.
Staff indicated it is disappointing that somehow it was not brought to Planning's attention. Staff will check into
it with the Public Works Department and should have a response for the Planning Commission at the next

Silver Falls 911 Consolidation with NORCOM 911
RECOMMENDATION:
No Council Action Necessary - Information Only
BACKGROUND:
As we have reported to you in the past NORCOM 911 Center has been in
negotiations with Silver Falls 911 Center regarding their request to have
NORCOM provide improved emergency dispatch service to the agencies
currently served by Silver Falls Communications Center. The agencies making
up the Silver Falls Communications Center ORS 190 organization have voted to
close their center by December 2003 and have voted to accept the
consolidation terms as presented by NORCOM.
DISCUSSION:
At the August 20, 2003 NORCOM Board meeting the NORCOM board voted to
allow the Silver Falls Communication Center to consolidate with NORCOM, and
to accept the proposed agreement between the two ORS 190 agencies. This
action does not change the City of Woodburn's ORS 190 agreement with
NORCOM. At some point in the future a revised ORS 190 agreement will be
brought before the City Council in order to add the former Silver Falls
Communications Center Agencies to it. These agencies are: Silverton Police
Department, Mt. Angel Police Department, Silverton Fire District, Mt. Angel Fire
Department, and Drakes Crossing Fire District.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
None, all consolidation and increased service level costs will be the responsibility
of the new user agencies,

Opinion by Holstun.
NATURE OF THE DECISION
Petitioners appeal a city decision denying their application for comprehensive plan
map and zoning map changes.
FACTS
Petitioners own a one-acre parcel that is located within the City of Woodburn. The
existing comprehensive plan designation for the subject property is Low Density Residential
and the zoning designation is Single-Family Residential (RS). The property is generally
surrounded by other RS zoned property. The property also adjoins one property with a
comprehensive plan designation of High Density Residential, which is zoned Multi-Family
Residential (RM). That property is developed with an apartment complex owned by
petitioners. Petitioners wish to redevelop the subject property with a similar multi-family
development. Petitioners applied for a comprehensive plan map change from Low Density
Residential to High Density Residential and a change in zoning from RS to RM. The
planning commission held a hearing on the application and recommended that it be denied.
The city council held a public hearing and denied the application. This appeal followed.
MOTION TO TAKE EVIDENCE
After the conclusion of oral argument, petitioners filed a motion asking us to consider
evidence that is not included in the local record that the city filed in this appeal. Specifically,
petitioners seek to have us consider a newspaper article and a city ordinance granting a
comprehensive plan map and zoning map change for another property that petitioners argue
is nearly identical to their property. The city ordinance was also attached to the petition for
review as an exhibit, and in its response brief the city objected to our consideration of that
ordinance.
OAR 661-010-0045(1) provides the grounds for motions that request that LUBA
consider extra-record evidence:
Page 2
3O
1 "[LUBA] may, upon written motion, take evidence not in the record in the
2 case of disputed factual allegations in the parties' briefs concerning
3 unconstitutionality of the decision, standing, ex parte contacts, actions for the
4 purpose of avoiding the requirements of ORS 215.427 or 227.178, or other
5 procedural irregularities not shown in the record and which, if proved, would
6 warrant reversal or remand of the decision. [LUBA] may also upon motion or
7 at its direction take evidence to resolve disputes regarding the content of the
8 record, requests for stays, attorney fees, or actual damages under ORS
9 197.845."
10 Petitioners do not explain, and it is not apparent, which of the permissible grounds for
11 granting a motion to take evidence not in the record they are relying upon, and we do not see
12 that any of those grounds are applicable. In any event, in light of our disposition of this
13 appeal, our consideration of the evidence that is the subject of petitioners' motion would not
14 assist petitioners.
15 The motion to take evidence outside the record is denied.
16 ASSIGNMENTS OF ERROR
17 The challenged decision is a denial of petitioner's application. Therefore, if any one
18 of the independent bases that the city relies on to deny the plan and zoning change request is
19 sustained, then the decision must be affirmed. Lee v. City of Oregon City, 34 Or LUBA 691,
20 693-94 (1998). Petitioners must assign error to every independent basis that the local
21 government relies upon to deny the application. If petitioners fail to assign error to every
22 basis for denial, the decision must be affirmed. Id.; Garre v. Clackamas County, 18 Or
23 LUBA 877, 881, aff'd 102 Or App 123,792 P2d 117 (1990). The city argues that petitioners
24 do not assign error to all the bases the city adopted for denying the application and that the
25 city's decision should therefore be affirmed.
26 Petitioners raise three assignments of error in the petition for review. All three of
27 those assignments of error and the argument in support of those assignments of error occupy
28 a little over a page of the petition for review. It is petitioners' responsibility to allege the
29 facts necessary to support their claim and to adequately develop their legal argument. LUBA
30 does not supply or develop a party's argument for them. Deschutes Development v.
Page 3
1 Deschutes County, 5 Or LUBA 218, 220 (1982). Petitioners' assignments of error are
2 inadequately developed for review. The summary of argument portion of the petition for
3 review comes closer to raising cognizable assignments or error. See Freedom v. City of
4 Ashland, 37 Or LUBA 123, 124-25 (1999) (LUBA will overlook a petitioner's failure to
5 include specific assignments of error, where it can discern the petitioner's assignments of
6 error from the argument presented in the petition for review). As far as we can tell,
7 petitioners assign error to the city's findings that petitioners failed to demonstrate that the
8 application complies with: (1) Statewide Planning Goal 10 (Housing); (2) Woodbum
9 Comprehensive Plan (WCP) Residential Land Development Policy A-10; and (3) WCP
10 Housing Goals and Policies G- 1-1. ~
11 As the city correctly points out, petitioners' application was denied, in part, because
12 the city found that petitioners failed to demonstrate that the request complies with Woodbum
13 Zoning Ordinance (WZO) 16.050(c) and (d).2 The city adopted findings that explain why the
14 city believes WZO 16.050(c) and (d) are not satisfied in this case. Record 14-16. Petitioners
15 do not challenge those findings or provide any other basis for reversing or remanding the
16 decision notwithstanding these findings. In the absence of such a challenge, we must affirm
17 the city's decision. Lee, 34 Or LUBA at 693-94.3
I In their second assignment of error, petitioners assign error to the city "agreeing upon a specific
population forecast * * *." Petition for Review 5. We agree with the city that this assignment of error does not
challenge any finding or action the city took as part of the challenged decision.
2 WZO 16.050 provides in pertinent part:
"Plan Amendment Criteria. Before a Plan Amendment can be made, the [city] must find
that the proposal meets the following criteria:
"(c) There is a clearly demonstrated public need for the proposed amendment.
"(d) The proposal best satisfies the public need."
3 In their conclusion, petitioners appear to raise a claim of bias on the part of the city, although it is not
apparent whether that claim applies to the city's staffor governing body or both. In order to demonstrate bias, a
petitioner must show that a decision maker or body was incapable of making a decision based on the evidence
and argument before them. Halvorson Mason Corp. v. City of Depoe Bay, 39 Or LUBA 702 (2001). In the
Page 4
39.
1 The city's decision is affirmed.
present case, petitioners do not come close to making that demonstration. Petitioners also assert that their
constitutional rights were violated. To the extent that refers to something other than their claim of bias, the
claim is not adequately developed for our review. Sparks v. Tillamook County, 30 Or LUBA 325, 330 (1996)
(LUBA will not consider constitutional claims that are not supported by legal argument).

Thorn Street Right of Way Vacation
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached ordinance for vacation of the undeveloped
section of Thom Street right of way adjacent to Settlemier Avenue.
BACKGROUND: The unimproved 50 foot right of way of Thom Street that intersects
with Settlemier Avenue varies from 82.77 feet to 99.71 feet in depth. This right of way
has not been developed and the east end and south side are the defined boundaries of
Settlemier Park. The adjacent property owner to the north has been using a driveway
approach from Settlemier Avenue on the north side of the right of way for access for
many years.
The procedures for vacation of a street right of way are defined in ORS 271.080 through
271.230. By ORS 271.130, the Council, on June 23, 2003, moved by motion to vacate
the above section of city street right of way. Notice of the public hearing on the
proposed vacation was given pursuant to ORS 271.110. Public notices were published
in the Woodburn Independent on July 26, 2003 and July 30, 2003 and individual
property owners in the affected area were sent a notice of the hearing. Public notices
were also posted at either end of the proposed vacation 14 days pdor to the hearing.
The City Council held a public hearing on the proposed vacation on August 11, 2003.
There were no objections from any of the property owners in the affected area of the
proposed Thorn Street right of way vacation. All legal requirements for the vacation
outlined in state statue have been met.
DISCUSSION: All legal requirements for vacation of the Thorn Street right of way
adjacent to Settlemier Avenue have been completed satisfactorily. Staff recommends
adoption of the ordinance vacating the Thorn Street right of way adjacent to Settlemier
Avenue
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is minimal impact. The increased lot size may cause a
small increase in assessed valuation of the adjoining property receiving % of the
vacated right of way.

Community Park Master Plans
RECOMMENDATION:
As recommended by the Recreation and Parks Board, adopt the Legion Park Master
Plan and Settlemier Park Master Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The City's 1999 Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan Update identifies Legion Park
and Settlemier Park as "Community Parks." According to the Plan Update, community
parks are designed to serve broader recreation needs that encompass the entire City.
Community parks should include areas for passive recreation such as picnicking and
walking and active recreation needing lighted athletic facilities and aquatic centers.
Community parks should also include restrooms and vehicular parking.
In addition to defining community parks, the update also outlined the need for
significant renovations and improvements to Legion and Settlemier Parks. While some
recommended improvements have been made, City staff and the Recreation and
Parks Board raised concerns that the parks need master plans to assure that future
improvements meet community needs and that all park elements properly fit within
each park and are harmonious with surrounding neighborhood uses.
Within the 2002-03 budget, funds were budgeted to engage a consultant to assist staff
and the Board with preparing plans for the two community parks. After reviewing
responses to a Request for Qualifications, Moore lacofano Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) was
contracted to help draft the plans.
DISCUSSION:
In February 2003, work on the plans began. MIG collected base information from
various City departments and met with Recreation and Parks Department staff. On
March 17, 2003, City staff conducted "mini workshops" for the plans at Lincoln and
Washington Elementary Schools. These mini workshops were associated with open
house activities for families with children enrolled in Afterschool Club.

On March 20, 2003, the Recreation and Parks Board, with assistance from MIG,
conducted an open house and visioning workshop for the plans. This meeting was
publicized in local press. The Recreation and Parks Department also distributed flyers
announcing this public meeting throughout the neighborhoods surrounding the parks.
Nearly 20 people, mostly neighbors, attended these meetings.
MIG took the staff concerns expressed in February and the public input provided at the
March mini workshops and visioning workshop and developed two master plan
alternatives for each park.
At the Recreation and Parks Board's May 13, 2003 meeting, the Board hosted a second
open house to present the plan alternatives. Following the open house, the Board
discussed the alternatives for each park and agreed on final master plans to present to
the City Council. Highlights of the plans include:
Se fl/emier Pork
n Increases parking from 81 to 140 spaces.
c] Re-establishes natural creek habitat and connects park to Mill Creek Greenway.
n Moves tennis courts from Front & Oak to southern portion of the park.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
MIG prepared opinions of probable cost for completing all improvements proposed in
the plans. The estimate for Legion Park is $2,136,825 and $1,149,740 for Settlemier Park.
Following the City Council's approval of the plans, staff will analyze the items listed with
the opinions of probable costs to determine what costs are eligible for funding through
Systems Development Charges. These costs will be integrated within the SDC
methodology and Capital Improvement Plan so that they can be reflected in fees
charged. Most costs are eligible for matching funds from the Oregon Parks and
Recreation Department's Local Government Grant Program and the National Park
Service's Land and Water Conservation Fund.

City of Woodburn
Legion Park and Settlemier Park
Woodbum City Hall
Tuesday, June 10, 2003, 7pm
Overview Summary
Moore lacofano Goltsman, inc. (MIG) was
retained by the City of Woodburn to provide
master plan development services for
Settlemier Park and Legion Park. A key
element to this process was obtaining
community involvement as part of the
development of the master plans. An
understanding of what the community needs
and desires is paramount to the MIG
process in developing community parks or
public spaces that reflects the community's
vision and goals.
The primary objectives in this process
included achieving community input and
ownership; integrating the city's policies and
long range plans for parks; achieving
universal access; balancing the local needs
of the neighborhood with the preservation of
natural resources; exploring ways to meet
normal recreation needs with limited site
areas; and to address problematic
management issues, such as maintenance
issues and impacts to adjoining property
owners such as traffic, vegetation
encroachment, security and safety.
The five-phase master plan process that
MIG embarked*on began with the Project
Initiation phase. During the first phase, a
meeting with the park's staff took place to
review the work plan and obtain background
information on the two sites.
The second phase, Site Inventory and
Analysis began with field visits of the two
sites accompanied by city staff and
Recreation and Park Board representatives.
These field visits were vital in order to
identify potential opportunities and
constraints for future development. This
step was also necessary in order to gain a
better understanding of the issues and
needs of the project. MIG then synthesized
the gathered information on both Legion
Park and Settlemier Park and developed
two thorough site analysis maps.
The third phase, Program Development,
began with MIG facilitating a workshop and
open house for the community, park staff
and Park Commission. At this workshop
and open house, the site analysis maps
were a catalyst for discussion on both of the
sites. During the open house, participants
were able to post their comments on sticky
notes and attach them to the corresponding
site. Dave Walters, MIG, Inc. led the
visioning workshop where participants
voiced their goals and desired benefits for
the two parks. A wall graphic was created
that documented the comments made.
The fourth phase, Development of the Plan
Alternatives began with the development of
two design concept options for each site.
The two park options for each site
delineated the passive use areas from the
active use areas, circulation patterns,
existing and proposed buildings, parking,
and drainage features. Also, a comparison
of needs against each site's recreation
opportunities and constraints took place in
this phase. MIG developed the two options
taking into account the input gathered from
the public workshop and open house.
Finally, the fifth phase, Final Draft Plan,
which includes the preparation of a draft
final plan that describes the size, location
and type of all the proposed features. Also,
a preliminary opinion of probable costs was
prepared to share with city staff and
Recreation and Park Board.
Brief Narrative for both Final
Draft Plans
The Legion Park and Settlemier Final Draft
Plans are conceptual yet detailed enough to
describe the concept of the designs.
Legion Park Final Draft Plan Narrative
Legion Park is located between Park
Avenue and State Highway 214. The park is
also bordered by Mill Creek and near the
Union Pacific Railroad.
The proposed plan for Legion Park includes
a total of 243 proposed parking spaces,
including 7 handicap spaces. Extending the
existing parking lot to the east and north,
allows for more parking spaces while
providing a more inviting entry. These
spaces will be invaluable during both the
once a year festival that occurs at the site in
August, as well as for the many fans coming
to the park to see their sport teams play,
including the semi-professional soccer
team. There is another small lot for 25
vehicles at the southern end of the park to
provide the additional access at this
location.
A passive use area is proposed for the
northern portion of the site, along with a
police station and its parking lot. The police
station entrance is gated at both ends to
ensure optimum security.
The soccer field is expanded to the south
some to provid~ for a full-length field.
Bleachers are proposed to the east of the
field and a small concession building and
plaza is proposed near the entrance to the
park.
The stadium is to remain with an entry plaza
located on the west side of the stadium.
Three different play environments are
proposed for the area north and west of the
entry plaza to the stadium. The various play
areas are intended to meet the needs of
different age groups, which the community
desired.
This plan proposes shelters, picnic tables,
and benches, all placed throughout the park
for users to relax and enjoy the natural
setting.
An interpretive center is proposed near Mill
Creek as well as a nature trail, which follows
the creek and restored bank. Along the
nature trail are a series of descriptive
interpretive signage.
This plan proposes a looped interior
pathway system constructed of 12' wide
concrete. The path will allow for security
and maintenance vehicles to peruse the site
easily from one end of the park to the other.
Shade trees along the path are located near
benches to give park users the opportunity
to stop and rest along the path and enjoy
the park.
A basketball court is located near the
parking area with the intent that the multi-
use hard surface could also be used for
booths at the annual festival, which draws
thousand of participants each summer.
Finally, the plan recommends that the large
dense groves of trees in the southern region
of the park be protected, yet reviewed by an
arborist for treatment and/or where
necessary the removal of diseased trees.
Settlemier Park Final Draft Plan
Narrative
Settlemier Park is located between
Settlemier Avenue, Front Street and Oak
Street. Its centerpiece is a baseball
diamond and the community's swimming
complex.
Parking is an issue at Settemier Park. The
existing aquatic center is in need of many
more parking spaces. Consequently, this
plan includes two parking areas with a total
of 140 parking spaces, including 6 handicap
spaces. The plan also includes a proposed
7500 SF "future expansion" to the existing
aquatic center. Part of the parking will
require the relocation of the tennis courts,
which are placed at the South Central Park
site.
The current building that has housed a teen
center will be relocated to another site with
better access for youth.
Settlemier Park is home to a grove of
historic Jesse Settlemie~r trees. The plan
recommends for an arbOrist to review this
historic vegetation and lake the appropriate
action necessary to preserve the trees.
During the community involvement process
it became evident that areas for different
age groups to play was important to the
community. Thus, two play environments for
different age groups are included in the
master plan. This is in addition to the new
skate park.
A looped interior pathway system is
proposed to allow easy pedestrian access
to all of the amenities in the park. Places to
sit, picnic, and play are important elements
of the plan.
Finally, the park design looks to be more
sustainable by revitalization of a portion of
Mill Creek, which parallels the pathway to
the north near the baseball field. This will
provide additional water quality and storm
water detention.

Legion Park and Settlemier Park
Open House & Presentation to Board
Woodbum City Hall
May 13, 2003
Legion Park (Option A & B)
The primary difference between Option A
and Option B for Legion Park is the
recommended use for the northern acquired
property.
Option A recommends the nodhern
acquired property be a passive use area.
This passive use area is filled with open
grass and surrounded by a sinuous pathway
system. Along the pathway are benches
and places to picnic, as well as shade trees
intermittently.
However, Option B recommends the
northern acquired property be an active use
area filled with an adult baseball field, youth
baseball field and one overlapping practice
soccer field.
Both options propose play areas for
different age groups and a looped interior
pathway system. The soccer field remains
in the existing location in both options and
nearby bleachers offer plenty of places to sit
and enjoy a match.
The parking lots are not the same in each
option. Option A recommends two separate
parking areas with approximately 180 total
parking spaces. Vehicles are allowed to
travel through the park to the other parking
lot north of the stadium in Option A.
However in Option B there is only one main
parking lot, which is extended, wrapping
aroUnd the northern edge of the soccer field
area with a total of approximately 168
parking spaces.
Settlemier Park (Option A & B)
The primary distinction between Option A
and Option B for Settlemier Park is the
location of the proposed community center
and location of the parking lot to the east.
Option A recommends that the community
center be located in the northeast corner.
This option also favors an extension to the
aquatic center to the north. Moreover,
Option A proposes that the tennis courts be
located in the southeast section of the park
near the proposed parking.
However, Option B recommends a parking
area in the northeast corner of the park with
nearby park sign to guide users into the site.
This option locates the tennis courts in the
southwest area of the park near the west
end parking lot.
Both options favor the ecological idea of
bringing Mill Creek back up to the surface
and running a pathway alongside. Both
options also recommend two play
environments at the northwest corner for
different age groups.

Legion Park and Settlemier Park
Community Workshop and Public Open House
Woodburn City Hall
March 20, 2003, 5:30 3o 9:00 p.m.
Introduction
One of the most important elements of the
design process is input from the local
community, gathered at an Open House
and Workshop like the Visioning for Legion
and Settlemier Parks held March 20, 2003.
The informal Open House gave the
community a chance to review the existing
conditions and potential opportunities
shown on plans of each park site.
Participants were asked to visit two stations
that were set up with various maps and lists
of questions and previous comments made
by staff and other community members
about the two sites. Participants wrote
down concerns, observations and future
wishes they had for both sites. The site
analysis maps were prepared by MIG, Inc.,
a consulting firm that was hired by the city
to help facilitate the open house and to
prepare master plans for both sites.
Randy Westrick, Parks and Recreation
Director for the City of Woodburn, attended
the workshop, while David Walters from
Moore lacofano Goltsman, Inc. (MIG)
facilitated a productive discussion.
Summary of Open House
There were many comments gathered at
the open house for Legion and Settlemier
Parks.
A majority of the participants felt that the
removal of trees at Settlemier Park should
be avoided. Many were planted by Jesse
Settlemier some 100 years ago, and
therefore have real histodc significance.
Also, participants expressed the need for
even more trees to be planted. In addition,
more parking is needed for Settlemier Park.
At both parks there is a need for upgrade
restroom facilities and improved
maintenance. Also needed is more
sufficient lighting at both parks. One
comment suggested constant patrols are
needed for Settlemier Park. Furthermore,
participants expressed the need for more
connected bike and walking paths through
the parks and to eliminate vehicle use
through Settlemier Park other than by the
City Police.
Transcriptions of the open house comments
are in Appendix A.
Summary of Visioning
Workshop
David Walters, MIG, Inc., led the group
discussion while Lisa Garbett, MIG, Inc.
recorded the group's visions on a large wall
graphic in front of the room. The discussion
was focused around the participant's goals
and desired benefits for both Legion and
Settlemier Parks.
A majority of the participants would like to
see programmed signage at both parks.
This includes not only signage at the
entrance and exit but throughout the park.
At the same time, there is also a need to
develop a comprehensive planting and
maintenance plan for both parks. A tree
pathologist is needed at both sites to
determine the health of the trees. An
overall circulation plan was mentioned as a
means to provide unity to the parks.
Also, safety was to be priority for the parks,
which could occur through more efficient
lighting and providing a remote controlled
gate for police access after hours.
Furthermore, some of the participants
expressed a need to open the grove area
up in Legion Park to allow for more visibility.
At Legion Park there is an opportunity for a
riparian education center near the creek.
The Fiesta, in the beginning of August has
taken place in the park since the 1950's.
Moreover, it was discussed that the master
plan for Legion Park should take into
account this festival and its cultural
significance to the community.
The Legion Park master plan should
evaluate the traffic speed along Park
Avenue. It was noted, that if and when the
city acquires additional property for Legion
Park, this could property could house the
police department and a additional park
land.
One of the most common suggestions for
Settlemier Park was the need to improve
the circulation system for pedestrians at the
park. Also a priority at Settlemier Park is
improvements to the overall continuity of the
park and addir~'g places to sit and simply
enjoy being in the park. In addition, there is
a real need to pave the 3rd street entrance.
It was mentioned that the gazebo is not very
accessible and needs to be relocated.
The complete comments from the wall
graphic are outlined in Appendix B.
