0250 PRESENTATION - WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT UPDATE.
Public Works Director Tiwari reminded the public that the wastewater treatment plant
facility improvement is the most expensive project within our community. As part of this
agenda, the Council will be considering the award of a contract for the wastewater plant
expansion. It is anticipated that the new plant will be in operation in 2001-2002 which is
20 years after the completion of the existing plant facility. This improvement continues
to be within budgetary estimates and within the established time frames for completion.
Ron Walz. Brown & Caldwell project engineer, provided an overview of the contracts
involved with this project. He stated that the headworks and sludge lagoon contract is
substantially complete and functioning at the new facility. The second contract is for the
buildings which includes the new maintenance building and expansion of the laboratory
control building. It is anticipated that the buildings will be completed by this summer.
The third contract is for the remainder of the plant which is on this meeting's agenda.
Low bidder, James W. Fowler Co.. submitted a bid of $17.4 million compared to the
engineer's estimate of $18.6 million. Completion of this contract is anticipated to be
January 2001. He provided an overview of the treatment processes which will be
installed as part of this project thereby enabling the City to meet the more stringent water
quality regulations. He also stated that the plant design does provide for future growth so
that it will serve the City's needs for many years to come.
Director Tiwari stated that a decision had been made during the planning process to use
ultraviolet rays for disinfection rather than chlorine. The City also decided to plant poplar
trees and irrigate the plantation with treated water rather than discharging all of the
treated water to the Pudding River. He stated that the quality of the water that will be
discharged either to the plantation or the river is something that the City can be proud of.
Mayor Jennings stated that the Citizens committee worked very hard on this project to
make sure that it would meet the City's needs and it appears that they did a very good job.

IllO PUBLIC HEARING: ZONE MAP AMENDMENT #98.06 FROM SINGLE
FAMILY RESIDENTIAL (RS) TO COMMERCIAL RETAIL (CR) FOR
PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1310 AND 1340 HWY. 99E.
Mayor Jennings declared the public hearing open at 7:40 p.m..
No declarations were made by the Council regarding potential conflict of interest or ex-
parte contact.
Recorder Tennant read the land use statement required by ORS Chapter 197.
Community Development Director Goeckritz reviewed the staff report along with the
recommendation from the Planning Commission to approve. with conditions, the zone
map amendment. He stated that the subject properties are two abutting lots totaling
approximately 6.7 acres. Each lot has a 1.000 foot depth of which the 500 feet fronting
Hwy. 99E is zoned commercial retail and the rear 500 feet is zoned single family
residential. The applicants, Yacov & Nina Konovalov, have submitted a request to
amend the zone map thereby zoning the entire area of each lot to commercial retail. It
was noted that there was no site plan submitted with this application. The Planning
Commission had included in their final order a condition that the site plan proposal
allows for the full utilization of the property and the Commission did not want to see tall
structures at the rear of the property. The final order also includes a condition that a solid
wall be installed at the rear of the property when development does occur for the purpose
of noise abatement.
1583 Denny Neilsen. Vice President of Salem Hospital. stated that Salem Hospital has
purchased the property from the Konovalov's. They are in agreement with the conditions
and willing to work with the staff in developing a comprehensive conceptual plan for the
project once it is determined as to what services they could provide to enhance the health
services already provided within the community. He requested Council support for the
proposed amendment to the zone map.
Mayor Jennings questioned if an Urgent Care Center is a part of the plan being discussed
by Salem Hospital.
Mr. Neilsen stated that it is on the table and may be one component of a more complex
project.
No one in the audience spoke in opposition of the zone map amendment.
Mayor Jennings closed the public hearing at 7:55 p.m..
Councilor Figley expressed her opinion that this proposal would correct a strip zoning
issue and her only concerns are noise and privacy issues which have been addressed in the
Planning Commission conditions.
Councilors Pugh. Chadwick, Sifuentez. and Kilmurray also spoke in favor of the
proposed amendment.

Councilor Figley stated that she had made numerous visits to the site over the years
several of which have been since she was made aware this application and for the purpose
of looking over this site.
Councilor Pugh stated that he had made a site visit. walked the area. and asked questions.
Mayor Jennings stated that he has been on Brown Street with staff. on Boones Ferry Road

Exhibit 7: Amended Traffic Study received after the Council packets were distributed;
and
Exhibit 8: Correspondence between applicant. staff, and letters from various individuals

Director Goeckritz stated that this proposal began several months ago and was first heard
by the Planning Commission in September 1998. The hearing before the Council was
opened in October 1998 and the hearing had been continued until this date for the
purpose of allowing staff and the applicant an opportunity to work out issues that were
raised at the hearing. He reviewed the Planning Commission recommendations along
with the types of Council action that can be taken based on the Council's decision
following the public hearing. In summary, the applicant's request is to annex 61.9 acres
into the City and allow for the development of a residential and neighborhood
commercial center. The proposal provides for a 241 single family residential
development and would include 3 pocket parks to be maintained by the Homeowners
Association. The developer would also donate 3 acres of land for a public park to be
maintained by the Parks Department and contribute $300,000 towards park

improvements. The developer will be required to construct a deep sanitary sewer line to
serve all phases of the project plus pay all required system development charges. It was
noted that with deep sanitary sewer line. the City will not need to construct a pump
station. The developer is in the process of securing easements for a storm drain line to
Mill Creek Another condition is that the developer will be responsible for the
construction of his portion of the east/west minor arterial.
Mayor Jennings questioned as to which part of Brown Street is still descriptive easement.
Director Goeckritz stated that it is his understanding that it begins in the northeast portion
of the development and goes north to where it connects to Brown Street at the Comstock
development. It is his understanding that the property owners are not willing at this time
to provide right-of-way to connect to the improved portion of Brown Street.
Public Works Director stated that all roads are required to have curbs on both sides,
paved surface, drainage problems resolved. and be 34' in width within a residential area.
He answered several questions posed by the Council regarding street width and the
possibility of reducing the street width to 24' (sidewalk on one side of the street) for the
connection to Brown Street in the event insufficient easements can be obtained from the
property owners on Brown Street. He suggested that the property owners on Brown
Street should in the cost of the additional 10' improvement since there property will be
benefitted by this extension to Brown Street.
Mayor Jennings expressed his opinion that the Brown Street connection is an integral part
of this development and felt that the traffic study from Kittleson & Assoc. should have
come to a similar conclusion.
Tape 2 Councilor Figley questioned the adequacy of the right-of-way being obtained for the
south portion of the development in the event the south by-pass is designated as a major
arterial versus minor thereby having homes abutting the right-of-way and causing
dissension between the property owners and the City.
Director Tiwari stated that the standards within the Transportation Plan are being
followed and, in this case. a minor arterial involves a 74' right-of-way.
Director Goeckritz stated that the right-of-way behind the schools and Centennial Park is
100' and this width was established prior to the adoption of the Transportation Plan. The
City will probably be giving 26' feet back to the School District since it exceeds the right-
of-way requirement.
Mayor Jennings also expressed concern regarding the right-of-way width since it is
unknown as to where the south by-pass will be placed and. additionally, he feels that it
should be classed as something other than a minor arterial.
Director Tiwari stated that staff recommendations are based on current code
requirements.
0143 Nancy Bocchi, property owner of this development, stated that her parents were long time
residents of Woodburn and she. along with her sister Faye Zimmer. see this development

as an opportunity to give something back to the City. Numerous developers had
approached them regarding this property and, after careful consideration. decided to work
with Polygon Northwest as the developer.
Fred Gast. Polygon Northwest, stated that their company began working with the owners
approximately two years ago to develop a master plan community. He provided
background information on their company which has developments in the Puget Sound
and Portland area. He stated that their mission is to create value and they have decided to
build homes with exceptional value that would be affordable for working families. This
also involves creating a neighborhood that inspires a sense of community by having tree
line boulevards, parks and open spaces. sidewalks. and other amenities modeled after the
older neighborhoods in Woodburn and other parts of the country. He summarized the
progress to date which includes a staff report and Planning Commission decision
recommending approval since minimum standards have been met. Since the
Commission's recommendation was made. they have made additional improvements to
their development plan. This includes full street improvements to Boones Ferry,
providing a deep sanitary sewer line, public park with improvement costs. still paying
system development charges for traffic. sewer, water. park fees, and other building costs.
In his opinion, this proposal shows that they are carrying their own weight and providing
tangible benefits to the City. He also stated that they have always maintained a
commitment that if the Brown St. right-of-way becomes available when the development
is in progress that they would be willing to participate in its acquisition and full
improvement. They have made attempts to acquire the right-of-way but have not had any
success to date. They would also be willing to provide up to $20.000 towards the cost of
condemnation proceedings on that section of the road.
Mike Miller. Alpha Engineering representing Polygon, stated that the site is within the
Urban Growth Boundary. The developers have worked to make this proposal more than
just a subdivision in that it provides for different types of residential, commercial, and
numerous green spaces and parks. The proposed development includes 241 single family
residential lots averaging 5400 sq feet with future expansion of 90 multi-family units.
The development would provide for 10 open space areas in addition to the 3 acre public
park. It is also proposed that minor playground equipment will be placed in designated
tot lots. The exterior of the homes would be reminiscent of the older part of the City
utilizing classic craftsmen architecture with a lot of detail. The streets and pathways are
designed to focus on the green spaces. He reiterated that they have met all of the code
requirements and feels that this project will benefit the City and future residents of the
development.
Councilor Figley expressed concern regarding the road connections and its impact on
Boones Ferry Rd. and Settlemier since N. Front Street is a sub-standard street.

Allen Danaher. Kittleson & Assoc., reviewed the updated trip generation data used to
analyze traffic impact on Boones Ferry Road assuming that there was no access to Brown
Street. He stated that this study was completed to look at trip distribution patterns and
provides an analysis of traffic impact during peak hours. Their study indicates that no
traffic signal is warranted at the Parr Rd intersection as a result of the development
looking out to the year 2003 which is considered as the site buildout year. He also
reminded the Council that the City's Transportation Plan had identified that the south by-
pass would have a minor arterial designation with a 74' right-of-way width and would be
built in the 11-20 year timeframe. At this time, ODOT is more focused on Hwy. 214
improvements. There is no study in place to look at a new 1-5 interchange to the south of
the existing interchange and the south arterial is dependent upon how it ties into 1-5 in the
future. The site plan is consistent with roadway access spacing per existing criteria. He
also stated that studies continue to show that there is need for expansion of Hwy. 214 to 4
or 5 traffic lanes independent of site development.
1235 No one in the audience spoke in opposition to the proposal.
Mayor Jennings called for a brief recess at 9: 10 pm and the meeting reconvened at 9: 15
pm..
Councilor Pugh requested clarification on the developer's responsibilities as it relates to
the street width of Brown Street and how much of the south arterial would be completed.
Director Tiwari stated that developers will be responsible for 34' street width for property
up to their north property line plus, if the right-of-way is acquired, the connection to
Brown Street and the area up to the Comstock subdivision. He briefly reviewed the 24'
roadway requirement and suggested that the benefitted property owners contribute
towards a 10' improvement thereby making the street the same width from the new
development to the Comstock subdivision.
Allen Danaher stated that their study shows that 36% of the side traffic is oriented to the
west onto Hwy. 214 and he answered Council questions regarding trip generation and
direction of travel.
Fred Gast stated that the south arterial alignment was established based on location of
right-of-way behind the school then east to align with the Urban Growth Boundary.
Mayor Jennings stated that his major concern is the north part of Brown Street and the
need to have a connection rather relying so heavily on Settlemier.
The public hearing was closed at 9:30 p.m..
Councilor Figley stated that this is the most difficult decision in which she has had to
make since she would like to approve it but feels that she is unable to at this time because
of Brown Street. Even if Brown Street is improved, she is unsure if Brown Street can
support the traffic that would be generated by the development. Another concern is how
to remedy the traffic problems and. even though the developer will be charged fees for
improvements, it is still not enough to mitigate the impact that this development will have

on this part of the City.
Councilor Pugh expressed his opinion that this was a well-thought out plan which the
City can be proud of but it is pre-mature since the City's road infrastructure is
insufficient. He wished a bond issue was in place to provide road improvements that
would allow for developments of this nature.
Councilor Chadwick expressed her opinion that the project looked good but she is
concerned about the traffic impact.
Councilor Sifuentez also felt that the traffic issues need to be addressed.
Councilor Kilmurray expressed her opinion that, if Brown Street was improved, it would
probably be a viable project since the project will take two to four years to complete.

2133 PUBLIC HEARING: HERITAGE PARK MEADOWS. ANNEXATION. ZONE
CHANGE. CONDITIONAL USE. AND VARIANCE.
Mayor Jennings opened the public hearing at 9:38 p.m..
Councilors Figley. Pugh, Kilmurray. and Chadwick stated that they were familiar with the
area being discussed in this proposal and all had recently been to the site to view the
property.
Recorder Tennant read the land use statement as required by ORS Chapter 197.
Director Goeckritz stated that the Planning Commission signed the final order on January
14, 1999 which recommends annexation of 10 acres of property located west of Senior
Estates and north of Vanderbeck Lane. This property abuts the city limits on three sides
and the proposed development would provide 46 single family residential lots. This
development would be required to plant street trees in order to conform to the adjacent
development's street tree requirements. It was noted that this subdivision would also be
required to install a fence on the west side of their property similar to the fence installed
within the Henry Miller subdivision. He stated that one lot will be reconfigured in the
subdivision just south of this development (also owned by the same developer) since a
roadway will be constructed to provide connectivity between the two developments. As a
reminder, Vanderbeck Lane abutting Senior Estates has been closed. This proposal does
meet all established criteria and he reviewed the conditions imposed by the Commission.
Councilor Chadwick expressed concern regarding potential traffic generation through
Senior Estates off of Country Club Road since Vanderbeck Lane east to Boones Ferry Rd.
will not be improved until the subdivision east of this development begins construction.
2913 Ken Sherman, representing Hidden Creek Properties (applicant), stated that the applicant
is also the developer of Heritage Park which is the subdivision immediately south across

Vanderbeck. The applicant intends this to be the fifth phase of Heritage Park and they
plan on placing the same kind of quality development on this property. The property is
surrounded on three sides by the City limits and annexing this property will square off the
City boundary. They also concur with the recommendations of the staff and Planning
Commission.
Tape 3
Mark Gringe. Multi-Tech Engineering. stated that by connecting to Declaration Street,
located to the south of this proposed development. allows for connectivity to Country
Club Road. Emphasis will still be placed on directing traffic to Boones Ferry Road. He
also reminded the Council that the developers have previously agreed to participate in a
Local Improvement District to improve Boones Ferry Road. They are also working with
the City to address drainage issues and they would be providing storm drain detention on
the north end of the project. In regards to sanitary sewer, the applicant has dedicated a
small portion of property to the City at the north end of the Heritage Park project at
Vanderbeck for the new pump station that is currently under design. This new pump
station will be the primary provider for sanitary sewer service for this property and the
Miller Links property. They have also agreed to participate in the construction of a deep
oversized trunk sewer which would eventually allow for the removal of that smaller pump
station on Jansen.
Mayor Jennings questioned the status of the Miller Links development located just east of
this development.
Mr. Gringe stated that it was his understanding that the developer of Miller Links has
already submitted plans to Public Works Department for approval of their subdivision
including Vanderbeck out to Boones Ferry Road. He stated that their project is slated for
a year 2000 construction whereas Miller Links is slated for a year 1999 construction.
No one in the audience spoke in opposition to the proposal.
Mayor Jennings closed the public hearing at 10:08 p.m..
Councilor Figley expressed her opinion that this is a smaller project which fits into a
logical progression of the development that has been taking place in that area.
Councilor Pugh stated that this development is a natural buildout of the area and he does
not feel that it would create an undue traffic burden onto Boones Ferry Road.
Councilors Chadwick, Sifuentez. and Kilmurray also expressed their opinions that the
proposal complements the other developments in the area.

0416 CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT.
A) Update on MontebelIo Subdivision and B) Report on recording land use
decisions and CC&R's:
Administrator Brown stated that staff is still researching the right-of-way issue involving
Montebello Subdivision and the property abutting the west side of Columbia Drive. A
meeting has been scheduled for April 15th and staff will report back at the next meeting.
In regards to recording conditions of approval and/or CC&R's. Attorney Shields has
included a memo in the packet which states that the Council has the ability to record the
conditions of approval. Additionally, under state law, subdivisions are required to record
their CC&R's and state law preempts the City's local authority to require the recording.
As an alternative. the City could require the developer to bring back a copy of the
recorded CC&R's.
Lengthy discussion was held regarding the proper recording of CC&R's and staff's ability
to follow up on the recording requirement if state law already requires developers to file
the CC&R's.
It was the consensus of the Council that staff pursue a zoning ordinance amendment that
would require an applicant to provide the City with a copy of the required CC&R's.

Administrator Brown stated that the City and WDA tree planting project had been

Analyst Matt Smith for his work on the original grant and the award application.
