WOODBURN DOWNTOWN ASSOCIATION C~qDA) REPORT.
Bruce Thomas, WDA President, updated the Council on the following events:
1) The last Music in the Park performance for 2003 will be held on August 26t~ and he
reported that this event continues to grow in attendance with the August 19th performance
drawing as many as 400 people.
2) Saturday Market is doing well with the gross income taken in by the vendors being
higher this year than last year.
3) Last Saturday the WDA began a Food Drive to try and raise 500 lbs. of non-perishable
food to be presented on September 13th to the Woodburn Food Bank. Organizers of the
Mexican Independence Celebration Day event had requested that non-perishable food
items be donated to the Food Bank in lieu of charging admission fees and the WDA
decided that they would organize a food drive in advance of the event. Donations will be
accepted at the Saturday Market between now and September 13th.
4) The wind fi.om the trains are causing tremendous damage to the lights in the trees
along the railroad track. When the leaves fall off the trees this fall, WDA will be trying
to re-configure the lights so that the damage, if any, will be minimal.
5) On September 13 and 14, 2003, the Mexican Independence Celebration Day will be
held in the downtown plaza and Library Park. This is a first-time event but he felt that it
will be successful. WDA is trying to get enough volunteers to man a booth for the
purpose of sharing information with the public on the WDA.
6) Lastly, a membership drive for WDA will be held during the month of September.

F) receive the information on the Doman v. City_ of Woodbum LUBA No. 2003-025.
Councilor McCallum questioned if the Planning Commission had received any
information from staff regarding the removal of a large tree on Boones Ferry Road within
the improvement project area.
Administrator Brown stated that it was his understanding that the Commission has
indicated to the Planning Director that they wanted to convey some information to the
Council regarding their feelings on this particular tree item. He has asked the Community
Development Director to hold that information until such time as the Zoning Ordinance is
brought back before the Council which should be within the very near future. The
Council will be discussing tree protection as part of the zoning ordinance updates.
NICHOLS/SIFUENTEZ... adopt the consent agenda as presented. The motion passed
unanimously.

Bruce Thomas stated that he had failed to mention that the Food Bank has an extreme
need for food at this time of the year which is why other groups are initiating food drives
in the area.
Councilor Bjelland mentioned that the WDA Food Drive during Saturday Market is
separate from the Curbside Food Drive sponsored by the Mid-Valley Garbage and
Recycling Association.
0909 COUNCIL BILL 2470 - ORDINANCE VACATING A PORTION OF THORN

PARK.
Councilor Sifuentez introduced Council Bill 2470. Recorder Tennant read the two
readings of the bill by title only since there were no objections fi.om the Council. On roll
call vote for final passage, the bill passed unanimously. Mayor Figley declared Council
Bill 2470 duly passed.

COMMUNITY PARK MASTER PLANS.
Director Westrick stated that the 1999 Parks & Recreation Comprehensive Plan update
recommended a number of improvements to Settlemier and Legion Parks. The Board felt
that master plans were needed to meet the community needs and recommended to the
Budget Committee funding of a consultant to assist the Board and staff in plan
preparation. The 2002-03 budget included funding for a consultant who began work on
this project in February 2003. The City conducted a fairly extensive series of workshops
and open houses to publicize what is needed, to develop a vision, and eventually prepare
plans for Settlemier Park and Legion Park. The consultant, Moore Iacofano Goltsman,
Inc (MIG), developed Options A and B for each park. The Board reviewed the options
and agreed upon a final plan for each park for Council consideration. The Legion Park
plan also looked at expanding the park area to the west that abuts the northern end of the
Page 3 - Council Meeting Minutes, August 25, 2003

COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES
AUGUST 25, 2003
TAPE
READING
park that is being considered for purchase by the City. It was noted that the Board felt
that there was a need for more open play area that is not dedicated for a specific athletic
purpose. Other features on the Legion Park plan provide for new accesses into the park
and additional off-street parking, a plaza behind the stadium, age appropriate playgrounds
with the archeology theme, resource area along Mill Creek, an archeology interpretive
facility, walking paths and an improved signage system. The Settlemier Park plan would
include a sign kiosk to direct park visitors to the various park facilities. The Board also
recommended a proposed expansion of the parking area in fxont of the Aquatic Center
where the tennis courts are now located and the tennis courts would be moved to the area
now occupied by the Drop-In Center (southwest portion of the park). The proposed plan
would extend Settlemier Park to Oak Street requiring the acquisition of private property.
The open area on the north side of the Aquatic Center is reserved for future expansion of
the aquatic facility but no definite plans have been identified for this site. The Mill Creek
tributary flows along the southern section of the park and it is proposed that this portion
of Settlemier Park become part of the greenway.
Councilor Nichols expressed his opinion that the plans look good and the park
improvements will enhance the community, however, he was concerned about placing
bleachers on the east side of the athletic field since the late afternoon/early evening
sunlight limits a person's ability to see the athletic event taking place at that time. He
suggested that the stadium facing the east be expanded to the north and south.
Councilor McCallum stated that the east side bleachers have normally been assigned to
the visiting team spectators rather than placing both the home and visitor spectators in the
same seating area.
Councilor Veliz questioned if the basketball courts will be installed at the parks since the
court that was at Settlemier Park has been removed and the City should not rely on the
schools to be the only location in which basketball courts are available for use by the
public.
Councilor McCallum expressed a concern on the impact park facilities have on the
neighborhoods especially in the Legion Park area since event parking generates a lot of
on-street parking issues.
Director Westrick stated that the Board took parking issues into consideration when
developing the proposed plans. In regards to existing trees, the Board would like to hire a
professional arborist to assess which trees are healthy and which trees may need to be
removed to protect park visitors.
Councilor McCallum questioned as to where the Teen Center at Settlemier park will be
relocated at if the parking lot redesigned.
Director Westrick stated that the master plans are 20-year plans and it is hoped that a new
Community Center would house a Teen Center. The Comprehensive Plan calls for a
small neighborhood facility at Burlingharn Park and it may be feasible to move the
modular unit to that area.

Mayor Figley was pleased to see that the plan addresses the inadequacy of the Settlemier
Park parking area and that the plan does provide for connectivity between the park and
the Aquatic Center.
Director Westrick stated that the master plans will provide a map for the future general
direction of the parks. The plans on display are a combination of Option A and Option B
which are included in the proposed plan document. Copies of the plans recommended by
the Board will be provided to the Council since those plans were inadvertently left out of
the document.
Councilor Cox requested that the adoption of the plans be postponed until such time as
the recommended plans are provided to the Council in addition to some text that would
discuss the Board's final recommendation since this document is a long range plan.
Councilor Bjelland also stated that the Board's recommended plan for Settlemier Park
indicates that the proposed Community Center site at the comer of S. Front St. and Oak
Street is not a viable location for this facility and the Council needs to understand the
consequences of any adoption and future siting of the Community Center.
Director Westrick stated that the Board did not feel that Settlemier Park was a good place
for the Community Center, however, they were willing to listen to ideas of the
Community Center committee and would consider recommending changes to this plan.
Linda Sauer, 402 Oak Street, stated that she and her husband John have lived at that
location for over 30 years and they feel that the park plans are great. For many years,
Settlemier Park was very nice and well used by people. Then there was a time in which it
declined and the landscaping was not as nice in addition to other problems at the park.
Once again, the park is on an upswing and the plans are wonderful. She did not object to
the placement of a Community Center in the park as long as it was not in her backyard,
and urged retention of the tennis courts in Settlemier Park. Lastly, there has been a little
issue with their fence agreement with the City but she commended the City Administrator
in his working with them to locate the original agreement.

CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT.
A) Emergency Preparedness - Water System during power outages.
Public Works Director Tiwari reported that communities along the east coast had recently
experienced a variety of power outages that were both planned and unplanned and, as a
result, it was determined that a report on Woodburn's emergency preparedness would be
appropriate. Over the years, Oregon has also experienced blackouts and brownouts and
our prior Councils have directed staffto take necessary measures to be prepared for future
blackouts and brownouts. As a result, all but 1 of the City's 7 water wells have an
auxiliary power system thereby allowing us to maintain the domestic water supply to our
residents. Additionally, auxiliary power systems are located at the wastewater facility and
our emergency communications facilities. He assured the Council that the auxiliary
equipment is routinely maintained and operated to make sure that the equipment is fully
operational in the event an emergency arises.
Councilor McCallum questioned as to how residents will be notified of emergency
situations.
Director Tiwari stated that, in the past, residents have been notified of water shortages
through newspaper articles and public announcements.
Police ChiefRnssell stated that the City's Emergency Operations Plan calls for not only
cable TV interruption but also emergency warning announcements over the radio. The
police cars do have loud speakers which would be used to alert neighborhoods of an
emergency situation. Generally, an emergency operation is done in conjunction with the
Fire District which includes utilization of their Special Emergency Response Team
(SERT) volunteers who are neighborhood specific to give information to residents in their
neighborhood. An incident commander has the initial responsibility to deal with an
emergency until such time as a quorum of the Council is available to make the official
determination.
B) City Administrator's Evaluation:
Administrator Brown stated that he will have been with the City for 5 years as of
September 2003, therefore, he will be distributing evaluation materials to the Council
later this week so that the Mayor and Councilors can take time to complete his
performance evaluation. An executive session will be scheduled for the next regular
meeting.

COMMUNICATIONS
A_.~. Woodburn City Council Minutes of July 14, 2003.
B._~. Q & A Session - Randy Rohman, Public Works Department.
Randy Rohman, Public Works Department informed the Commission he is present tonight to try to answer
any questions the Commission may have.
Commissioner Mill requested clarification regarding the removal of the Shell Station property with the
interchange expansion for Highway 214 and the Shell property being removed.
Randy Rohman reported ODOT is currently finalizing a project to add a right turn lane in front of the Shell
Station and is scheduled to go out to bid in May 2004 for construction next summer. He further stated as a
part of that project ODOT will be purchasing all the access that currently exists on the north side of Highway
214 from the interchange to Evergreen. As a portion of that, the Shell Station are in negotiation with ODOT
right now to purchase that station as it will be basically rendered unusable due to the requirements of the right
turn lane and the restriction of access.
Chairperson Lima asked for an update pertaining to the widening of Highway 214.
Randy Rohman informed the Commission the widening of Highway 214 is broken into two segments. The
interchange project that is currently in an environmental assessment; the Citizens Stakeholder Working Group
has completed the initial part of that and have selected two alternatives. Following the Stakeholder Working
Planning Commission Meeting - August 14, 2003
Page 1 of 12

Group will come back and select one of the two alternatives. He indicated both alternatives include a 4-lane
widening of Highway 214 back past Colonial Gardens between the existing Colonial Gardens and the Fire
Station as part of the interchange widening project. Moreover, he recalled funding appropriated from Federal
FYO5 will be available for an environmental assessment sometime after October 1,2004, which would be the
first step in the widening. Mr. Rohman remarked ODOT and the City feel there is good feeling about
potentially funding the remainder of the interchange project. Currently there is about ten million dollars
committed to it and there is need for about another thirty million dollars to complete all of the work. However,
the funding for the Highway 214 widening is a little hazy but it is included as part of potential Urban Renewal
funding for a portion of it but the funding is not enough for the entire part. The important first step is to get
the environmental process done because that will bring a final alternative that will be used for design and is
one of the steps that need to be followed in the funding process.
Commissioner Bandelow inquired how does the State decide to make traffic changes in the way it moves
through the City on a State Highway? She commented they decided the right turn lane is no longer needed
where Boones Ferry and Settlemier Ave. meet the highway.
Randy Rohman interjected bike lanes were added in that area. Furthermore, he reported there were two
lanes at that intersection that it tapered down in a relatively shod distance afterwards.
Commissioner Bandelow agreed that should have not continued to occur but she assumed the second lane,
since there is plenty of room for two lanes, would have gone as a right turn only.
Randy Rohman commented the problem of people racing to get ahead through that intersection has been an
item brought up many times by citizens to Public Works and ODOT over the past several years. Furthermore,
he stated he is sure that after the resurfacing project was completed that factored into the decision to re-stripe
the lanes as well as the installation of the bike lane.
Commissioner Bandelow reported she has tried to keep track of how many signals are in that line that want
to turn right and it is at least 10% of the cars that are backed up almost to the High School would like to turn.
Randy Rohman indicated he could address this with the people from ODOT.
Commissioner Mill suggested the timing of the light should be lengthened.
Randy Rohman explained the light is a problem because it is split phased. He stated it is not the ideal signal
and they do have plans to redo that intersection and eliminate the split phasing.
Chairperson Lima made reference to Mr. Rohman's statement regarding the two options of the widening of
Highway 214.
Randy Rohman reported the first option is that Highway 214 would be widened equally along the center line
and the second option would be to widen to the north. The primary difference between the two is that to widen
the north side would have some significantly higher right-of-way costs. Both options have Lawson as a right-in
only intersection, Arney Rd. on the other side is right-in right-out and both options also include an extension
of Evergreen Rd. to the north to connect with Country Club Rd. Mr. Rohman further explained there are a few
options between Evergreen Rd. and Country Club/Oregon Way intersection to deal with access to the
properties on the south side.
Commissioner Vancil commented he has observed we are continually giving Variances because there is a
standard that has been set in the plan but it really does not fit old neighborhoods.
Randy Rohman replied the Transportation System Plan (TSP) is under review and is part of the Periodic
Review task and that will be considered under the new TSP.

PUBLIC HEARING
A. Planned Unit Development 02-03 and Phasinq Plan 02-01, proposal to develop an 80 sinRFz
family lot PUD in three phases located in Tukwila Development on Hazelnut Dr., John Baker,
applicant.
EX-PARTE CONTACTS
Commissioner Bandelow reported she is familiar with the project and acquainted with Mr. Baker. She further
stated he is developing in an area where she sells real estate however, he is not a client. Commissioner
Bandelow felt it would not make a difference or bias in her decision tonight.
Commissioner Lonerqan also stated he is very familiar with this area and he also has relatives that live in
Tukwila but he has absolutely no financial interest.
Chairperson Lima and Commissioner Mill indicated they are familiar with the area.
Staff read the applicable ORS Statement and provided a presentation as reflected in the Staff Report.
Staff recommended approval of the applications subject to the conditions in the Staff Report based on the
information in the report, the information provided by the applicant and the applicable review criteria.
Commissioner Mill requested clarification regarding where the wall will be in relation to the flood way.
Staff explained the wall requirement would be on the lots that would be just to the north of that flood zone and
the wall would be located close to the bottom of the rise of the slope. He stated the trench itself more or less
contains the 100-year flood but the City's flood ordinance requires at least 45 feet just to preserve an area on
either side of that.
Commissioner Loner,qan asked why are we requiring a fence on the north side of Goose Creek when we have
not required anyone on the south side of Goose Creek to construct one? Additionally, he said the Staff Report
mentioned 78 lots and the applicant is actually building 76. He further questioned Staff whether they were
counting Lot A and Lot B as the extra two lots?
Staff. indicated there was a property on Meridian Drive and Ray J. Glatt Circle that underwent a Variance
request not to construct a wall because the wall is now part of our new Woodburn Development Ordinance
and as part of that the code requires the subdivision construct the wall. She further explained the applicant
has the option to apply for a Variance not to build the wall however, they decided they did not want to do that.
Staff reported there are 76 single family residential lots and the two open space lots, Lot A and Lot B for a total
of 78 lots.
Commissioner Lonerqan opened up discussion regarding the public area. He remarked he was not a member
of the Planning Commission when the original Tukwila proposal went in and as far as common open space
golf course land was granted in lieu of donation of other land. Commissioner Lonergan questioned how could
the golf course be deemed as common space when the course is not opened to the public for recreational
activities other than golf?
Staff responded that has been the understanding by the Planning Commission on previous developments in
Tukwila that the golf course satisfied the requirement for common open area. He said the applicant was
proposing to get credit for the golf course which has been given to all PUD's in Tukwila as per agreement by
the City. Additionally, he reported there is no requirement for some sort of active common space under the
ordinance. Staff further commented he was unsure whether the tot lot in the Ironwood neighborhood was
proposed by the applicant or whether is was imposed by the Planning Commission. The new code requires
developers pay System Development Charges (SDC) and there are no requirements to dedicate park land
or to put parks into developments. It was further reported by Staff the Park Master Plan states we have all
the parks we need and future parks are going to be satisfied by new schools. However, that Master Plan will
need updating because that was based on the old population allocation of 26,000. Staff reiterated
there is no ordinance that requires subdivisions to provide tot lots or parks.
Planning Commission Meeting - August 14, 2003

Commissioner Bandelow recalled the majority of the members of the Planning Commission at the hearing for
the Links at Tukwila did not agree that the golf course satisfied the open space. She stated those lots are
considerably smaller than even the smallest ones in this development and remembered there was much
discussion regarding the children not being able to play on the golf course.
Commissioner Lonerqan inquired if Lot A and Lot B are buildable land and what can be done to keep that from
being buildable land?
Staff explained Track B is not buildable as there is a 20 foot setback from the middle of the flood way and it
is 45 feet wide therefore, there would not be enough room there to build any structures. However, there is
a portion of the land on the north side of Track A that could be developed once you look at the 40 foot flood
way requirement. She stated the applicant was originally going to propose a swimming pool in that area.
Chairperson Lima and Commissioner Mill both agreed with Commissioner Lonergan regarding the
preservation of the open space.
Staff further explained CC&R's and Homeowner's Association are required to control common areas if there
is a condition for open area. Moreover, this means the common area will be under common ownership of
the property owners in that development which will limit what can be done with it. Staff informed the
Commission natural areas, activity or landscaped areas are all allowed under the common areas in the PUD
ordinance. However, who gets to determine what type of open space it will be is subject to interpretation as
the code is not clear in who gets to decide.
Commissioner Vancil remarked it appears the immediate plan is for it to be open space and inquired if there
is anything legally that can be done to make it apparent to future staff reviews if something were to come up
for a change that would be very clear what the Commission's view was. He pointed out it is really muddled
because there are a lot of new phases since this started.
Chairperson Lima asked Staff if it is possible to add a condition of approval to state the intent of the Planning
Commission to keep it as an open space.
Staff replied he believed the Commission has the authority to dictate how that open space is to be used as
it is open to interpretation however, the City Council ultimately interprets what the code means. Moreover,
the applicant always has the opportunity to come back not only as design review but to modify the PUD which
would be to modify the condition and the future Planning Commission would have to consider whether they
want to allow the open space to be modified.
Commissioner Lonerqan referred to the developer's traffic impact study and requested reassurance that there
will not be a huge neighborhood traffic problem.
Randy Rohman interjected the traffic volumes for that intersection were adjusted for later conditions. Volumes
were added to the counts taken in February to take into account that it was done at that time. He stated that
intersection is not currently a problem and the actual development, even when it is fully completed, is a
relatively small percentage of the traffic that uses that intersection. The critical movement on the intersection
is actually over on the Fifth St. side primarily due to the lane configuration. Mr. Rohman further remarked
when Meridian Dr. is opened, Phase 3 will give people an option to use other collector streets mainly Hazelnut
and Tukwila. Additionally, the connection of Meridian Dr. to Hazelnut and Tukwila Dr., which are collector
streets, gives residents, people who use Glatt Circle as well as the people in the existing housing development
in that area, other options of getting to/off or away from the Highway 214 area. He further reported there are
no great problems with the right turn movements at the Meridian Dr. intersection because it is striped for left
turn and right turn. This is why the intersection across the street on Fifth St. is the critical one because it only
has one lane and people making right/left turns and through movements are all restricted to that one lane.
Although the Transportation System Plan mentions that Fifth St. should be connected through at one time but
as long as it is a substandard street the barricade that is currently there will probably remain. Mr. Rohman
Planning Commission Meeting - August 14, 2003
Page 4 of 12
12
clarified there has never been any talk of a median and the Highway 214 alternative analysis that was done
by the City with State participation does not indicate any median. Mr. Rohman stated the proposed
development will not make traffic any better but it is not going to significantly degrade it. The peak traffic
problems are between 4:00-4:30 pm and 5:30-6:00 pm. Improvement of the Boones Ferry intersection will
probably help some by allowing traffic to move through there a little better.
Commissioner Mill asked whether traffic calming devices would be something that later on would be the
responsibility of the City to provide or would that be something that would be required by the developer to
provide?
Randy Rohman answered that would depend upon when they were put in and it would probably be something
that the City would want to control. There would end up being some statistical measure to determine whether
a traffic calming device would be warranted on a particular section of street which is one of the items that has
not been developed at this time. Mr. Rohman further reported at this time they do not have any criteria, design
or a recommended calming device designed, approved or any policies on the design or development of the
device. He indicated there are pros and cons with the use of these type of devices.
Commissioner Bandelow asked whether the type of pedestrian traffic is taken into consideration
when an analysis of Meridian Dr./Fifth St./214 Interchange is done in order to determine whether or not it
meets the criteria for a light?
Randy Rohman responded there is no criteria for those types of studies. They simply look at number of
movements and do not differentiate type of people. He reported the traffic signal on that stretch will be subject
to environmental assessment he mentioned earlier because it was mentioned in the alternatives analysis that
was done by the City in 1999.
TESTIMONY BY THE APPLICANT
John Edward Baker, Diianelos Homes, Inc., 2355 Miller Court, Woodburn, OR 97071 stated he is the
president and CEO for Dijanelos Homes, Inc. He and his wife moved to Woodbum from Keizer in 1995 and
built a home in Tukwila at that time and have enjoyed living in Woodburn, as it is a great community. Mr.
Baker further remarked he has a lot of experience in golf course communities as a sub-contractor and building
in Charbonneau, Clairemont, McNary Estates and also in Sun River. He indicated they felt the original Tukwila
partners had a neat concept for Planned Unit Development where they incorporated open space with the golf
course and offered different types of opportunities for people to live in a community that had open spaces, nice
landscaping and homes. Moreover, they offered diverse housing options in a harmonious environment. He
planned, from the inception, that Goose Hollow would continue in that spirit to provide a diverse and
interesting neighborhood to compliment the Woodburn community. Their goal as developer and builder are
to build out the houses on the lots that they are going to develop so they have control over architectural
approval and to build houses that are similar to the houses they are currently building in Miller Farm and
Orchard Greens. Mr. Baker turned over testimony to Mark Grenz, Engineer, to discuss the further merits of
their project.
Mark Grenz, Multi-Tech Enqineerin.q, 1155 13"~ St. SE, Salem, OR reported they have been working with the
Bakers on this project. He said they worked hard with Staff to make sure the application met all the criteria
without any Variances. The only Variance they felt could not be avoided was the block length simply because
there is no place else to go with the school on one side and golf course on the other. Mr. Grenz commented
this is a combination of a previous project that was approved a few years ago around the alignment of the
collector street. He pointed out their project density is very Iow in comparison to some of the other projects
that have been done in this development and probably in a range as Iow as what most of the standard single
family subdivisions are done in RS zone outside of that environment. Mr. Grenz reported the project will be
constructed in three phases, Phase 1 being the northern part around the existing street and facilities and work
their way down. He further remarked they do not have an objection to the condition that requires they provide
a block wall on the boundary of the subdivision. However, they are concerned that the condition by Staff
requires them to build it on the north side of Track B which is not on the boundary anymore and is interior to
Planning Commission Meeting - August 14, 2003

13
the development. This issue comes to be in Phase 3 and the thinking could be different by that point in time
whether or not Mr. Baker returns in the future and feels a Variance might be more appropriate is not an issue.
In closing, Mr. Grenz remarked it would be more appropriate if the wall, at least from the development stand
point, were located on the south boundary rather than on the interior.
Commissioner Mill asked whether it would be acceptable to the applicant if a Variance could be obtained to
not build a wall at all or have they even thought of applying for a Variance in that area?
Mark Grenz answered he is not sure they are ready to say that they do not want the wall at this point. He
stated since it is Phase 3 it gives the applicant some time to figure out how they want to integrate that into this
development to make it an enjoyable and desirable part of the development. Mr. Grenz thought that may
become a point with the applicant but at the same time they may decide they want the wall.
Commissioner Loner,qan again brought up the common area issue.
Mark Grenz remarked he is unsure the applicants are ready to commit that the common space would never
be anything but open area. They are careful to state that what they are creating there is common area and
not open space so that it does comply with the code. Mr. Grenz felt if the Planning Commission wants to
clarify their desire that this area be utilized as much as possible as an open area without taking away Mr.
Baker's right to do something in the future that might make sense to the current or future Planning
Commission.
Chairperson Lima reported there were some concerns brought to the Commission by means of a letter
regarding Track A not being propedy maintained and that they are mowing the lawn at their own expense and
would like some guarantees that this will not be the case.
Mark Grenz interpreted the conditions of approval contained in the Staff Report as Track A has to be a part
of the Homeowner's Association which they state is the Homeowner's Association for the Tukwila area that
will become a part of that. It was his belief the CC&R's make clear that the Homeowner's Association has
that responsibility and again of course it is the responsibility of the people that make up the Association to
make sure they live up to their criteria.
Commissioner Vancil indicated he interpreted the letter received bythe Commission that the track be deeded
to the Homeowner's Association soon so that it would become a responsibility to start to take care of it. He
inquired whether we have a 1Y~-2 years of being in no mans land with this being on the edge of Phase 3?
Mark Grenz believed their intent, in order to make sure that they provide a few options for Mr. Baker, would
be to not create that tract today and deed it away without making sure that all of the other things they are trying
to accomplish with those lots have been achieved. Mr. Grenz remarked there may be a way to accomplish
that in a different manner than having to deed it away right now. Perhaps there are some things that could
be done in conjunction with the Homeowner's Association today to make sure that it is being taken care off,
at least in the area from the end of the golf course over where the citizens concerns are. Moreover, he
understood the citizens concerns but felt it could be handled in a way separate from the subdivision. However,
when the Subdivision and PUD are created all of the concerns will be addressed either by the conditions
imposed by Staff or by the CC&R's that were set out for the development.
Chairperson Lima asked Mr. Grenz when would construction begin if the project is approved tonight?
Mark Grenz replied their goal is to move forward with Phase I rapidly.
TESTIMONY BY PROPONENTS
Robin Palmer, 378 McLauqhlin Dr., Woodburn, OR 97071 reported he is a partner in the ownership of the
property to the south and said his original intent was to protect the tree. Although he favored the development,
he expressed concerns regarding the existing tree, the wall and the traffic. He commented he would hate to

see a fence go up as it would block his view from the golf course and it would also block the walkway along
the Goose Hollow waterway used by students to go over to the sports field at the High School. Moreover, that
blockage will cause problems with students coming through private property. Mr. Palmer informed the
Commission he was on the Commission when the original plan was approved and his main concern at the
time was when school gets out and High School kids want to leave, they could no longer enter right off the
school property onto Highway 214 or Mt. Hood Ave. He feared they would take Hazelnut down to McLaughlin
instead of Boones Ferry.

DISCUSSION
Chairperson Lima closed the public hearing and opened for discussion among the Commission.
Commissioner Lonerqan said it is an excellent development and will be good for Woodburn.
Commissioner Bandelow agreed with Commissioner Lonergan.
Commissioner Vancil stated it is a very impressive development. He also referred to the concern addressed
in the letter asking about the deeding.
There was some discussion regarding whether the author of the letter meant transferring the deed or
transferring the maintenance and the control to the Homeowner's Association.
Staff interjected the PUD ordinance requires common open space to be in a Homeowner's Association.
Chairperson Lima pointed out we try to give a time as to when the application is to be completed and he did
not see that included in the Staff Report for this project.
Staff stated although the dates are marked on the Phasing Plan and they were conditioned by Staff to follow
the Phasing Plan, the dates need to be more specific.
Chairperson Lima referred to the Chemeketa approval and commented the Commission specifically set a time
as to when the project would be completed.
Commissioner Bandelow clarified time frames for the phases were imposed on the Chemeketa approval
because one part of that supported another where in this project it is just developing down the street.
Staff interjected imposing a timing on a phasing depends on the type of project, i.e., industrial, commercial,
multi-family. He further explained in phasing you look at whether at some point in time you may not want the
phase to go forward as approved. Staff further explained the standards are flexible in a PUD and are unique
to that development as opposed to a standard subdivision that does not have special requirements or
conditions attached to it. Additionally, you may want future phases in a PUD to comply with the new codes
and may want to have the ability to impose that.
Commissioner Mill remarked in reviewing the CC&R's, Architectural Guidelines and applications, he could not
conceive that the City would come up with anything more restrictive than what is already outlined.
Commissioner Mill made a motion to approve Planned Unit Development 02-03, Phasing Plan 02-01 and
Variance 03-19 subject to terms and conditions as written with the change to Condition of Approval Item #8
to restrict Tracts A and B from future development subject to the Planned Unit Development Ordinance and
instruct Staff return at the next regularly scheduled Planning Commission meeting with facts and findings.
Motion was seconded by Commissioner Vancil. Motion unanimously carried.

TESTIMONY BY THE APPLICANT
Dave Susee, 10363 Mt. AnRe-Gerva s Rd., Gervais, OR 97026 stated he is one of the owners of Valley
Rolling Co. He further remarked they are asking for the Variance so that they can be a more successful
business in the community.
Commissioner Mill questioned whether the 180 degree mirror will be hung high enough that it will be out of
spray paint range? It was his opinion that it should be about 10 feet. He also expressed concerns with water
droplets possibly obscuring the mirror or getting particularly dirty or dusty and asked Mr. Susee whether they
have explored different types of mirror surfaces or coatings? Commissioner Mill urged the applicant take that
into consideration.
Dave Susee was unsure as to how high the mirror would need to be in order to keep it from getting graffiti
painted on it. He also indicated they have not yet looked at the availability or options in terms of mirrors.
Commissioner Loner.qan asked Mr. Susee what size trucks will be entering and exiting the building?
Dave Susee responded the company owns a semi truck that will go in and out of the buildJng. However, the
traffic in and out of the building will mostly be pick-ups, trailers and lumber yard trucks (18 foot flatbed) and
will be going from Young St. to B St. primarily. He also indicated the resident at the other end of the building
currently comes in with 40 foot flatbeds to the parking lot next to C St. and they pull between 24-30 foot posts
behind them.

Staff read the applicable ORS Statement and provided a presentation as reflected in the Staff Report. Based
on the information in the Staff Report, the information provided by the applicant and the applicable review
criteria, Staff recommended approval of the applications subject to conditions.
Commissioner Mill pointed out the driveway is smaller than a driveway for a two-car garage in terms of width.
Commissioner Bandelow asked if the purpose of a by-pass lane is so that you can get around if someone is
in the drive-thru however, it has nothing to do with normal traffic flow?
Staff replied affirmatively. He explained the by-pass lane is not part of the regular traffic pattern under normal
circumstances.
Commissioner Mill inquired if a by-pass lane is a required item under the ordinance?
Staff answered a by-pass lane is a required item under the ordinance. He indicated Staff believed two 9 foot
lanes provide sufficient room to get by each other. Moreover, the by-pass lane is marked with the same
direction as the drive-thru lane and traffic will flow towards the same direction. A physical barrier is not
necessary between the drive-thru lane and the by-pass lane and could just be an 18 foot wide section.
TESTIMONY BY THE APPLICANT
Chuck Archer, PAR Architecture, 34 NW First Ave. Suite 206, Portland, OR 97209 stated the property is
paved and relatively fiat and is currently used as large vehicle/semi truck overnight parking for the Motel 8.
There are two access points, one on Lawson Ave. and another on Stacy Allison Way. They propose a 4,000
sq. ft. building which Subway will take immediate occupancy on a portion of the building. Mr. Archer indicated
they will utilize the existing curb cuts that are at those two points and will improve the landscaping along the
street. The building will be a wood structure and will have a flat Iow slope roof with parapets to be utilized to
hide mechanical equipment. Additionally, the composition of the architectural detailing is what they call the
Pacific Northwest theme and will include stone accents on the building with stucco, wood panel and lap siding
with rich earth tones. He indicated the Variance is critical to the use of the restaurant for the drive-up width
and by-pass lane. Furthermore, they will utilize the existing curb cuts for access to their site and have
designed t he site t o keep t he parking traffic segregated from t he d rive-thru traffic which w ill help with
pedestrian and vehicular safety. It was also reported by Mr. Archer the site is unusually small for the zone
which does impact them for this use and are only requesting a 3 ft. reduction in the drive lanes which is the
minimum allowable. The intent of the by-pass lane is preserved even though it is 9 ft. and the traffic will still
function and the usability still remains. In closing, he remarked the last thing to consider regarding the
Variance is the speed of the traffic which is basically stop and go as it is not a drive lane and the speed of the
traffic helps the 9 ft. wide area to function.
Chairperson Lima questioned whether it would be possible to install a "No Entrance" sign? He also inquired
what will happen with the other Subway shop on the other end of town?
Chuck Archer responded they could certainly have a "One Way Do Not Enter" or "Drive-thru Exit Only" sign
placed. Mr. Archer commented Subway does market analysis and will not put another store in unless they
believe that it will be a prosperous business. Moreover, he explained many times when a second Subway
goes into a location it will actually increase the revenue of the other location.
Commissioner Lonerqan asked what is the Motel 8 going to be doing with their truck traffic? Additionally, he
inquired if the 2,000 sq. ft. office space will be operated by Subway personnel or will it be rented out?
Chuck Archer answered in addition to the proposed site, the motel has another large vehicle/semi truck
overnight parking area on the other side of the Exxon Station. He indicated although he has not done a study
or traffic count, the traffic that he has seen has never been full but he assumed the motel will utilize the other
area. Mr. Archer reported the applicant owns the entire building and will manage the property. It is
Planning Commission Meeting - August 14, 2003

that Subway has very strict policies about the restaurant, building and site because they have a standard they
want kept up. The franchisee can lose the franchise if they do not maintain those standards.
Commissioner Lonerqan further asked if there would be some type of configuration that a Variance would not
be needed if the office space were 1,200 sq. ft.?
Chuck Archer replied he does not fully understand the economics of the site and remarked he is unsure of
the answer to that question. Obviously, the rents go up because it is based on the economics of the site as
the square footage of the rentable space goes down.
Chairperson Lima inquired when will construction start if the project is approved and how much resurfacing
will have to be done?
Chuck Archer answered their next task is to complete the process with the City as far as building permits and
they would like to begin construction as soon as permits are released. He hoped to break ground before the
end of the year. Mr. Archer explained they will be removing asphalt and replaced with landscaping.
Additionally, when they build the parking area they will overlay new asphalt over the existing asphalt because
there are existing catch basins in those areas.
TESTIMONY BY PROPONENTS
Dave Cantwell, 5876 S. Lone Elder Rd., P.O. Box 816, Aurora, OR 97002 introduced himself as the owner
of the property and franchisee of the store and he and his partner will be operating the restaurant. He
announced they are looking forward to moving to Woodburn and have anticipated this for a long time and
believed it will be an asset to the community. Mr. Cantwell reported they will be very careful as to who rents
the other portion of the building. He indicated he is looking for an insurance company or something with Iow
impact on the parking.
Gary LaPoint, 750 Lawson Ave., Woodburn, OR 97071 asserted he owns the Exxon Gas Station next door
to the proposed project. He expressed concerns with the easement agreement and reported the Super 8,
McDonald's as well as himself, have an agreement on the private road. However, he did not recall whether
there is an agreement for the Lawson ingress and egress they jointly use now and further commented
something should be drawn up and assumed it will be taken care of. Mr. LaPoint was also troubled with the
location of the applicant's trash enclosure because there is equipment for his car wash just outside the
covered area of the building that people could get hurt on walking thru that area to get to the applicant's store.
He suggested a fence be erected between the two properties or doing something to discourage people from
coming thru that area.
Staff interjected it is up to that property owner to address that situation or work something out with the
adjoining property owners if someone is going across their property.

DISCUSSION
The public hearing was closed by Chairperson Lima and discussion opened among the Commissioners.
Commissioner Bandelow had no concerns regarding the Variance and thought the applicant made good points
about the by-pass lane. She noted most drive-thrus do not have a by-pass lane and you are stuck until you
go thru and felt the extra nine feet is adequate to address that. Commissioner Bandelow fully understood the
applicant wanting to utilize every possible square foot of the property for his business. In closing, she stated
she favored the project.
Commissioner Loner.qan concurred with Commissioner Bandelow.

Commissioner Vancil also agreed and felt it was a well thought out project and would also vote in favor of the
project.
Commissioner Mill voiced his concerns regarding Condition of Approval Item #7 and would like some type of
language added indicating that they will post signage that clearly indicates entrances and exits to the drive-thru
area and left it up to Staff to negotiate with the applicant what that would be.
Staff commented that the signs likely would go up whether the City requires them or not just from an
operational point of view. He indicated the franchisee does not want conflicts either because it would be
contrary to their business. Staff clarified it does not create any liability for the City as it is an onsite operational
issue and as long as the applicant complies with City standards. However, the Commission should make it
a condition if they wish to be absolutely positive that it is there.
Commissioner Mill withdrew his suggestion and left it up to Staff to expand Condition Item #7 as needed.
Chairperson Lima remarked the project is a wonderful addition to the City.
Commissioner Lonerqan moved to adopt Design Review 03-09 and Variance 03-22 and instructed Staff return

Commissioner Vancil suggested to consider in the development of the Sign Ordinance, the removal of the
structure that holds up the sign once a business is gone. He mentioned the Scott Thomason business is no
longer in the building however, the ugly scaffolding is still on the building.
Staff will look into this issue.
Commissioner Bandelow inquired whether Staff found out who and why the tree was removed?
Staff replied he spoke with the City Administrator regarding that issue. He indicated the bottom line was
failure to communicate as far as Planning Staff not being aware that Public Works was aware that they would
have to take the tree down when they improved Boones Ferry Road. Public Works stated they anticipated
that tree would not be able to remain when they had to put in improvements because the sidewalk is going
to go right up to the wall.
Commissioner Bandelow remakred the area is clearly marked and you can tell exactly where the sidewalk will
be placed and there is about 5 feet from where the tree sat. She commented a slight variation in the sidewalk
would have not hurt and mentioned the sidewalk out by the school veers nicely around the tree and into the
property. Moreover, because we lose trees when we can not help it, when you can help it, you should.
Commissioner Bandelow further expressed her displeasure with the situation and stated we should be more
careful in the future.
Commissioner Vancil remarked we need to make sure that the Commission is heard when the intersection
is widened near the school later on so that they do not take out more trees to widen Boones Ferry Rd.
Staff interjected ultimately the City Council would make any policy decision on how we address those
situations. In the absence of any other policy direction, Public Works will follow the City's typical street
standards.
There was consensus by the Commission for Staff to draft a memo from the Planning Commission to the City
Council expressing their concern and to be brought back at the next meeting for review by the Commission.
Commissioner Vancil remarked when a project is being planned they should take a look at decisions that have
been made on the effected properties over a specified number of years and be in compliance. He added the
right hand needs to know what the left hand is doing.
Commissioner Mill depicted a situation that occurred several months ago where they encounter that 35 mph
speed signs were being installed on Alexandra Ave., which is a residential street. He further indicated it Was
not only a violation of common sense, it was a violation of the law and if it were not for prompt action by
Chairperson Lima, they would probably be stuck with the signs. Commissioner Mill pointed out there are
communication difficulties.

DIRECTOR'S
REPORT
Monthly Statistics: The monthly statistics were self-explanatory. The
number of people visiting the library for July was 14,393. The number
of patrons for May was 15,920. In June, that number was 16,995, and
in July, 16,936 people visited the library.
Activities: A list of activities was distributed to the Board. Our summer
reading program was a great success. Youth Services handed out 500
child backpacks very quickly, as children signed up to join the reading
and craft program. There was excellent teen response as well. Overall,
over 800 joined the summer reading program.
Activities: Sandy Kinney reported on Music in the Park, the library
sponsored series of Tuesday night concerts. There were 8 concerts
scheduled this summer from July through August; with six completed so
far.
Average attendance at each concert was 335, with a total attendance
so far of 1996. The average attendance last year per concert was 240,
with a total attendance of 1,438, so this year has been very successful.
21
Music in the Park has had great sponsorship. Financial support has
come from Ladies of the Elks, Yes Graphics, Friends of the Library, and
American Marine Services Inc. Lupita's Restaurant provides
opportunities for dinner and Coastal Creamery brings a
variety of ice cream flovors for cones, including both fat-free and sugar-
free ice cream for diabetics.
The groups playing are wonderful. One especially note-
worthy performance was given by The Golden Bough, who gave us
a marvelous selection of Celtic music. It was 101 degrees that evening,
but all the 325 people who attended stayed to the end, and loved it.
"The Fabulous Essentials" are the next band, due to play on August 19th.
Linda Sprauer noted that one of the goals with Music in the Park is to
attract families, and the staff tries to have something for everyone.
There has been a difference in the playing time this year. Rather than
playing straight through to the end of the program, each group plays for
45 minutes, takes a 15 minute break, and then resumes for another half
hour.
Colleen Vancil reported feedback that our Music in the Park program
is being compared favorably to Canby's similar concert series.
Volunteer of the Month: Kay Kuka was chosen Volunteer of the Month
for June, and Mary Lou Bellante for July. In August, three teen-agers
were chosen to share the honor-Christie Cotter, Yazmin Estevez, and
Jason Wolfgang. All three teens help with crafts, and do a great job.
Sandy Kinney, the Library's Volunteer Coordinator, feels we should
support and augment our teen volunteers.
We have a Volunteer Appreciation almost every year, to show
our volunteers how much we cherish their invaluable contributions.
Staff: We have two new members on the staff. Alice Stewart is our new
part-time Reference Librarian. She replaces Anne Duston, who
resigned.
Vicki Musser is the new secretary, taking over for Judy Coreson, who
retired at the end of May. Judy is still making herself available to train
Vicki.
Building Feasibility Study: On Monday, August 4, architects from HEA,
(Henneberry Eddy Architects) began their intensive study of the library,
in order to complete a space utilization plan and/or library
remodel/expansion project. Everyone on the staff had an opportunity to
meet and brainstorm with the architects. On Thursday, August 7, the
Library had an open house, with HEA's conceptual drawings on display.
Nothing is final yet, but there are lots of ideas. Thinking "outside the
box" has been encouraged.
Some have questioned the need for expansion. We have 21,000 square
feet of space in both library buildings, but only 14,000 square feet of it
is actually used by the patrons. Getting rid of the ramps, for
2
instance, could give us much more usable space without physically
expanding.
The target date for presenting the finalized plan to the Board is
October-November, 2003.
Migration Committee: Linda gave us an overview of the purpose behind
the Migration Committee, which is composed of the Library Directors
from Polk, Yamhill and Marion libraries. It's purpose is to make a
transition from the presently used Dynix computer system to something
new. The Committee is working with Joseph Ford and Associates from
Washington.
Possible vendors will be selected from applications, and will go on to
give a "scripted demonstration" to prove they can best serve our needs.
If their product hasn't been fully developed, they have to say so. They
will be expected to be able to answer all of the specific questions.
It will be the first of next year before the final vendor is chosen, and next
fall before it is installed.
The new system is expected to last 7-10 years before any major
upgrades are needed, though small software or improvements might be
needed before that. The Dynix system has had 2 major upgrades.
We will be signing a maintenance agreement contract to help maintain
the equipment. The cost will be borne by CCRLS.
OLD BUSINESS: None.
NEW BUSINESS: None, beyond what has already been touched on.

Crime Statistics Comparison 2002-2003
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive the Repod
BACKGROUND:
Implementation of the Police Records Management System has permitted a
transition in the way crime statistics are reported from Oregon Uniform Crime
Reporting (OUCR) to the new Oregon Incident Based Crime Reporting System
(OIBRS). Oregon IBRS allows a better comparison to National IBRS stats. The
information now available from the system allows for more effective crime
analysis and planning. However, one drawback is the lack of comparability to
the previous years statistics. To bridge this gap Police Department staff has
developed this consolidated report that compares the January thru April
statistics for calendar years 2002 and 2003 in the OUCR Format.
DISCUSSION:
I am pleased to repod that Part I cdmes {the most serious type of crimes) and
Part II crimes, are both down. Part I crimes are down over 25%, and Part II crimes
are dowh approximately 1.75%. While any reduction in crime is welcome after
the spike in property crimes experienced in recent years, these statistics should
be interpreted carefully as they represent only the first four (4) months of the
year 2003 and do not yet form a trend. While the causes of crime are complex,
success in crime reduction should rightfully be attributed to the citizens of
Woodburn and their efforts in preventing crime and making Woodburn a great
place to live.

FROM:
Ben Gillespie, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Completion of Financial Management System Conversion
RECOMMENDATION:
Council accept the report.
BACKGROUND:
The outdated Eden accounting system has been successfully replaced with the
state of the art New World financial management system. The Eden system had
served the City for 12 years, but the vendor withdrew support of the product in
1991 forcing the City to consider other options.
The project began with vendor selection in May 2001 and spanned over two
years. The City's acceptance and final payment occurred in August 2003.
General Ledger (including budgeting, purchasing, accounts payable, and
revenue accounting), Payroll (including payroll and personnel), and Utility Billing
were the ma]or systems replaced. Business License was also replaced, and
Project Accounting was added.
The system is Windows based and allows for customized reports to be prepared
by finance staff and by users in other departments. It maintains five years of
history, which reduces the time required to retrieve data. It allows older records
to be burned onto CDs, reducing the need for paper copies.

Hearing to Consider a Supplemental Appropriation and
Contingency Transfer
RECOMMENDATION:
Direct staff to return an ordinance reflecting the Council's decision following the
hearing.
BACKGROUND:
Staff has, at the Council's direction, negotiated the purchase of two pieces of
property that will require a supplemental appropriation and a contingency
transfer. A purchase of price, including closing costs, of $60,000 has been
agreed upon for the property at 389 S. Front Avenue, which will be incorporated
into Settlemier Park. The owner of the property at 1060 Mt Hood Avenue has
agreed to sell for $364,000. Including closing costs, the total necessary will be
$370,000. This parcel will become police headquarters, if the public approves
bonds for that purpose.
Original bids for construction of the Chemical Separation Building at the Aquatic
Center came in substantially higher than anticipated. The Council rejected all
bids and staff reconfigured the bid specification to take advantage of the cost
savings achieved by using City labor to pour the foundation. The project was re-
bid, and the Iow bid still necessitates increasing the budget for this project by
$25,000. Contingency in the General Fund CIP Fund will be reduced to provide
funding.
$15,000 is budgeted to provide a contingency for the Chemical Separation
Building and 389 S. Front purchase.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The purchase price of the property at 389 S Front and closing costs ($60,000) can
be financed by a transfer from Contingency in the General Fund ClP Fund.
The cost of the properly at 1060 Mt Hood Avenue, and closing costs totaling
$370,000 will be financed by a loan from the TIF Fund, which will be paid off
when bonds are sold.
The additional cost for the Chemical Separation Building ($25,000) will be
financed by a transfer from Contingency in the General Fund CIP Fund.
Contingency for the Chemical Separation Building and for 389 S. Front purchase
($15,000) will be funded by a Contingency transfer in the General Fund CIP

John C. Brown, City Administrator~J~L~
Loan from the TIF Fund to the General ClP Fund
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing a loan
in the amount of $370,000 from the TIF Fund to the General CIP Fund for a period
of five years.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to your direction, staff negotiated the purchase of property at 1060 Mt
Hood Avenue (the Van Valkenberg property) for $364,000. Council accepted
staff's proposal to finance the purchase with a loan from the Traffic Impact Fee
(TIF) fund. State Law proscribes the manner in which inter-fund loans many be
made, but provides some latitude to local governments in establishing the terms
of such loans. Loans may be made for no longer than five years, but local
governments may determine the rates to be charged and the manner in which
payments may be made during the five- year period. The property is intended
to be the site of a new police facility and will also expand the bounds and
amenities of Legion Park. Funds were budgeted in 2003-04 for design work,
which will support an effort to pass a bond measure to finance the police
facility. It is anticipated that the measure will be placed on the November 2004
ballot, and will include funding to repay the TIF Fund loan in addition to the
funds needed to construct the facility.
DISCUSSION:
As indicated, the purchase price of the property is $364,000. The City is also
responsible for costs attendant to the sale. Consequently, it is recommended
that the City borrow $370,00 from the TIF Fund. The attached resalufion pravides
for a loan from the TIF Fund, for a five-year period. It provides for lump-sum
payment, due in the fifth year, at an interest rate of 2.32%. Deferring the
payment for five years provides the City opportunity for twa bond measure
attempts for the palice facility, within the loan period. Should both attempts fail,
Agenda Item Review:

an alternate repayment source can be used in the fifth year, or the Council can
use the fifth year to evaluate its options regarding retention of the property. The
2.32% interest rate on the loan, compounded annually, is recommended to be
between the rate the City would pay to a private lender (3.0 to 3.35%) and the
rate the City earns on its State Pool investments {1.32%). In this way both funds
benefit from making the loan internally. The lending fund (TIF) earns more than it
would on State Pool investments, and the borrowing fund {General CIP) pays
less than it would borrowing from a bank.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The TIF Fund has a current balance of $6,084,359. The recommended loan will
not impair the TIF Fund's ability to construct projects scheduled during the next
five years.

Community Park Master Plans
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Review and comment.
2. Adopt the Legion Park Master Plan and Settlemier Park Master Plan.
BACKGROUND:
At the August 25, 2003 meeting, the City Council reviewed final draft master plans for
Legion Park and Settlemier Park as recommended by the Recreation and Parks Board.
The Council was reluctant to act on the plans since the final drafts were not included
within the Council packet.
Enclosed for the Mayor and Council's review is the final draft for which the Recreation
and Parks Board has recommended approval. Each draft was developed as a result of
the five-phase process outlined in the June 10, 2003 Legion Park & Settlemier Park
Master Plans narrative. To arrive at the final drafts, the Board combined preferred
features from Option A and Option. Based on this input, the consultant drafted the
plan currently before the Council.
DISCUSSION:
At the July 25, 2003 meeting, the City Council reviewed the plan but was reluctant to
act on the recommendation since the final draft was not included in the Council
Packet. However, the Council did comment on the plans as presented in July.
Councilor Veliz said a basketball court should be added to the Settlemier Park Master
Plan. Staff recommends adding a basketball court to the plan as a part of the tennis
courts. Both are hard surface developments. Fencing needed for the tennis courts
would sufficiently segregate the two uses.
Councilor Nichols was concerned that seating proposed for the eastern portion of the
Legion Park Soccer Field would subject spectators to intense sun during late afternoon

·
events. Staff therefore recommends that this seating be dedicated as temporary, only
to be used for events when attendance is expected to exceed 800 spectators. This will
ensure premium seating for almost all events the stadium hosts. Temporary seating also
would allow the field to be used for many other activities such as practice for multiple
teams as well as youth soccer and t-ball that could use small sections of this larger
expanse of tuff.
If it is the pleasure of the Council, staff will incorporate these features and others the
Council may require within Legion Park & Settlemier Park Master Plans narrative. The
Council could approve the plan with these changes or instruct to bring the plan back
to the Council on September 22, 2003 for final approval.
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.

SUBJECT: Extension of Liability Insurance Coverage -
RECOMMENDATION:
Council approve the City's role as coordinator and the use of property owned
by the City for the Viva La Independence Celebration to be held on September
13 and 14, 2003: authorize extension of the City's liability insurance for this event;
and authorize extension of City's liability insurance to owners of the parking lots
to be used by members of the public attending this event.
BACKGROUND:
Within the staff memo submitted to the Council at their August 11,2003 meeting,
it was noted that the City's participation in this initial event is limited to planning
and coordination, activity location, and insurance coverage. The event will be
held in the downtown parking lot located between Garfield and Grant Streets
and in Library Park.
DISCUSSION:
With the closure of the downtown parking lot for this event as authorized by
Ordinance No. 2343, alternative parking locations needed to be secured in
order to accommodate the vehicular traffic expected for this event. As a result,
the City was able to secure off-street parking lots at 1) Chemeketa Community
College (120 E. Lincoln St.), and 2) North Park Plaza (east portion of parking lot
formerly used by Safeway). The property owners for these parking lots have
requested that the City name the owners of these parking lots as "additional
members". This will protect the owners' for those claims or damages that are a
result of the City's negligence or legal liability arising out of the City sponsored
activities. The City's insurance will not protect the owners' for their own
negligence or legal liability.
City County Insurance Services (CIS) requires Council authorization to extend
liability insurance to not only cover general liability for this event but to extend
liability coverage to the owners of the two parking lots.

Contract Award for Aquatic Center Chemical Handling Rooms
Building
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the contract for the Chemical Separation Building be awarded to Daneal
Construction Company, in the amount of $68,425.
BACKGROUND and DISCUSSION:
The City has received one bid for structural, plumbing and electrical components of the
Chemical Separation Building. The bid was received at 11:00 am and opened in public at
3:00 pm as advertised with the following results:
Bidder Ori.qinal Bid Modified Bid
Daneal Construction Co. $83,997.00 $68,425
This bid does not include the planned foundation and other underground work that is being
accomplished with a separate contract in the amount of $31,429.83. The summation of these
two contracts is $99,854.83. In addition to this contract amount, it is expected that door painting
work and safety fence rental costs for six weeks will be paid by the city. The bid that the city
initially rejected at the June 9 council meeting was in the amount of $124,700.00.
Staff still feels that the project should cost less than the amount of bid received. However, we
have rejected one bid earlier and have been unable to attract many bidders for this project.
Therefore, after further review of work scope and discussion with the contractor, this
recommendation is being made to award the contract to Daneal Construction in the amount of
$68,425.00.

Approval of Assignment of Contract Funds of BMT Northwest,
Provider of Steel Tanks, to Southwest Escrow Company
RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the City Administrator to execute, on behalf of the city, the
"Assignment of Contract Funds and Consent Thereto," furnished as Exhibit "A" in
the BMT letter dated August 29, 2CX)3.
BACKGROUND:
BMT Northwest (also Known as Brown Minneapolis Tank) was awarded the
contract for construction of steel reservoirs in connection with the Water System
Improvement Projects. The award to BMT was in the amount of $2,088,558.00.
BMT has not submilted signed contracts to the city, and has not received notice
to proceed. Bonds for Performance and Payment and labor & materials must
also accompany contracts. BMT, in private discussion with their bonding
company, has understood that to obtain bonding, they (BMT) must assign
proceeds from the contract to an escrow company. BMT requested action by
the city in their letter dated August 29, 2003. A copy of that letter, containing
escrow instructions, is available for review at Public Works.
DISCUSSION:
The assignment of payments to the bonding company, to which the city will
consent by execution of Exhibit "A,' allows the bonding company to ensure that
payments for work of the project will ga to labor and materials providers of this
project. This provides an additional level of protection relating to the
performance and payment bonds.

Planning Commission's Action on Planned Unit Development
Phasing Plan 02-01 and Variance 03-19
02-03,
RECOMMENDATION:
No action is recommended. This item is placed before the City Council for information
purposes in compliance with the Woodburn Development Ordinance. The City Council
may call up this item for review if it desires.
BACKGROUND:
On August 28, 2003 the Planning Commission adopted a final order approving the
applicant's request for preliminary planned unit development (PUD) approval and
design final plan approval for a 78 lot planned unit development to be developed in 3
phases and named "Goose Hollow at Tukwila." The Planning Commission also
approved the applicant's variance request to the maximum 1,200 foot block length
requirement on Meridian Drive.
The subject properties (22.47 acres) are located north and south of Hazelnut Drive,
north of Meridian Drive, east of the OGA Golf Course and west of the Woodburn High
School (T5S-1W-07AB & 07AC, Tax lots #3200, #2600 & #2601 ).
The subject properties are zoned Single Family Residential (RS) and designated on the
Woodburn Comprehensive Plan Map as Residential Less Than 12 Units Per Acre. The
properties to the north and west are zoned RS, designated on the Woodburn
Comprehensive Plan Map as Residential Less Than 12 Units Per Acre, and are the
location of the OGA golf course. The property to the east is zoned Public and Semi-
Public (P/SP), designated Open Space and Parks on the Woodburn Comprehensive
Plan Map, and the location of the Woodburn High School. The property to the south is
zoned Commercial Office, designated Commercial on the Woodburn Comprehensive
Plan Map, and is the location of offices.
The subject site is located outside of the 500-year floodplain. The Local Wetlands
Inventory Map shows a significant wetland located to the north of the subject property
and non-significant wetlands located to the west of the subject site. These wetlands are
the ponds located on the golf course. The applicant submitted a letter from a wetland
Agenda Item Review:

consultant regarding the significant wetland area to the north of the subject properties
which states that "...Regarding the suspect area along the northern boundary, based on
the found corners in relation to the adjacent golf course water obstacle, it is my opinion
that there are no jurisdictional wetlands located on the subject property in that area..."
A wetland land use notification form has been sent to the Division of State Lands (DSL)
Wetland Program. The applicant will be required to obtain the appropriate removal-fill
permits from DSL for any work done in the wetland area.
In February of 1991, the Woodburn Planning Commission gave conceptual approval of
the Tukwila Planned Unit Development (PUD). The plan called for the construction of
an 18 hole golf course and a housing mix of approximately 700 housing units to be built
over a number of years dependent on the housing market. Several pods of the Tukwila
PUD have already been approved (Orchard Greens, Miller Farm, Joy Village, Ironwood
at Tukwila and the Links at Tukwila). The total number of approved lots in the above
listed pods is 299 lots. The applicant is proposing to develop another pod (76
residential lots) within the Tukwila PUD which will be called "Goose Hollow at Tukwila."
The development of the Goose Hollow at Tukwila will increase the number of approved
residential lots within the Tukwila PUD to 375 lots which is below the maximum of 700
residential lots and consistent with the original Tukwila PUD approval. On June 26,
1997 the Woodburn Planning Commission approved a 24 lot Planned Unit Development
on the subject site ("Greens at Tukwila"). This approval expired because the applicant
did not record a plat within the approval time period.
The applicant is proposing to develop the PUD in 3 phases and finish construction in 5
or 6 years. The applicant shows on the submitted preliminary phasing plan that 22
single family residential lots will be developed in Phase 1, 24 single family residential
lots in Phase 2, and 30 single family residential lots in Phase 3. The applicant is
proposing two tracts (A & B) in Phase 3. Tract A & B are open spaces that contain the
floodway located on the southern portion of the subject properties and will be
maintained by the Tukwila Homeowner's Association.
