Councilor Figley stated that the Task Force is aiming for a Grand Opening around Memorial Day or the first part of June. Phase I of the Park is approximately 75% completed since a majority of what has been done relates to infrastructure. Yet to be completed includes paving, backfill, and additional re-seeding. By starting the project in the fall, the City was able to utilize about $60,000 in grants that may not have been available in the spring. Additionally, the drainage system needed adjustments which came to light after the winter rains began and modifications were made. The Task Force is now in a position to ask for public support in a tree planting program. Pending final permission from Woodburn Together to be used as source to receive the donations as a private charity, the program involves a donation of $150 which will be used towards the purchasing and planting of a tree at Centennial Park. At the next meeting, she will also be announcing the date for a work party around mid-May at which time the playground equipment will be installed and landscaping projects will begin. 0436 CONSENT AGENDA. A) Approval of Council regular and executive session minutes of March 8, 1999, B) Acceptance of the Planning Commission minutes of March 11, 1999; and C) Receipt of the Building Activity report for February 1999.

The hearing was continued based on the a request from the applicant. 0500 CONTINUATION OF HERITAGE PARK SUBDIVISION ANNEXATION. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP. AND ZONE CHANGE. Mayor Jennings continued the public hearing at 7:20 p.m. FIGLEYIPUGH... Heritage Park Subdivision public hearing be continued to April 12, 1999. The motion passed unanimously. 0515 PUBLIC HEARING - MONTEBELLO SUBDIVISION COMPREHENSIVE PLAN MAP AMENDMENT AND ZONE CHANGE. Mayor Jennings declared the public hearing open at 7:21 p.m.. Recorder Tennant read the land use statement as required by ORS Chapter 197. Community Development Director Goeckritz entered the following exhibits into the record: I) Exhibit 1 - Traffic impact study for Montebello Subdivision dated July 1998; 2) Exhibit 2 - Development agreement between Pioneer Trust, City of Woodburn, Wal- mart Stores, Klaw Holdings, and Prairie Corporation; 3) Exhibit 3 - Written testimony provided by Senior Estates, Barbara Lucas, and Mrs. Brown. Director Goeckritz stated that due to the length of the report, he had split the report into three parts. Part I contains discussion on the Comprehensive Plan Map amendment and justification relating to the reconfiguration of the various properties within the 177 acre parcel. Part II addresses the subdivision which is 147 lots but, at this time, the developer is requesting to develop 75 lots. Part ill is the Pinal Order as developed by the Planning Commission with reference in the Final Order back to the staff report for comments by staff on the proposal. He reminded the Council that they must act on Part I before they act on the subdivision application. He stated that the property had been reconfigured in 1992 to try and provide more of a buffer zone between the existing Senior Estates development and the applicant's (Capital Development) property. Additionally, conditions were imposed upon the applicant by the Commission and Council that required (l) reconfiguration prior to any development, (2) applicant assist City in the Transportation System Plan, and (3) proportion of land as previously zoned be as close to Page 3 - Council Meeting Minutes, March 22, 1999 ......" ,"-----". ,_.- ~."-._-"~.._-'" .-..---" ---.~_..~-~..,.__.,... .......-..,." ..".~--- COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 22, 1999 TAPE READING constant as possible when the property is reconfigured. The reconfiguration involved a change in the original road design. Additionally, the 100' strip adjacent to the Senior Estates properties was not addressed by the Commission since it is an issue that needs to be negotiated with the Council and property owners as to how the strip will be used in the future. In regards to the subdivision, the first phase will encompass the northeast comer of the development and the reconfigured road will have a 74' right-of-way with trees, curbs, sidewalks, and will be classed as a minor arterial. The proposed subdivision is approximately 15.5 acres. One of the conditions is a architectural brick wall for a portion of the property lines from HayeslEvergreen south to serve as a sound barrier to existing homes on the north end of Columbia Drive. 1146 John Donaldson, Capital Development (applicant), stated that they have been working on this project since 1992 and they are closer to having an opportunity to develop the property. He stated that Capital Development is a 35-year old company based out of Lacy, Washington, and this is the largest mixed use long term project that they own. He expressed his opinion that staff had done a good job in presenting this initial effort for their company to develop the property. He stated that their focus at this meeting is to respond to questions from the Council and public on the proposal. George Wilhelm, Wilhelm Engineering representing Capital Development, stated that the redistribution of residential and commercial zones allows for a more compatible zoning configuration and it accommodates the City's Transportation Plan which was approved in 1992. The applicant is also requesting approval of a preliminary plat consisting of 75 residential single family lots with conceptual plans for infrastructure. The applicant is also required to provide funding for a sidewalk along W. Hayes Street from Evergreen Road to Cascade Drive. It is there understanding that the sidewalk will be constructed on existing right-of-way and will provide a walkway to the elementary school. Even though some of the property owners along W. Hayes Street are not in agreement with this requirement, it appears to address the question of how are kids in future subdivisions supposed to walk or bike to the elementary school. In summary, the applicant feels that the application meets all of the applicable criteria for approval, therefore, they are requesting approval of the comprehensive plan amendment, zone change, and preliminary plat for Montebello I. 1420 Todd Mobley, Lancaster Engineering representing Capital Development, stated that the Traffic Impact study was completed in July 1998. He provided an overview of the data collected and analyzed within the study. The area assessed looked at traffic condtions within this proposed development, surrounding developments, and in the freeway interchange area up to Oregon Way. They did not recommend any mitigations to the adjacent transportation system as a result of the proposed subdivision. Page 4 - Council Meeting Minutes, March 22, 1999 . TAPE READING COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 22, 1999 Councilor Pugh questioned the report's finding that no mitigation required even though Highway 214 is already experiencing traffic problems. Mr. Mobley stated that the intersections were very close to capacity and the proposed subdivision does not propose any mitigation to fix that problem since the amount of traffic generated by the subdivision is small in comparison to the traffic volumes on Highway 214. It was noted that the study assumes 75 total trips generated by the proposal during the highest peak hours of 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm. Councilor Figley requested an explanation of the comment made in the Public Works report regarding the sanitary sewer lift station. Director Tiwari stated that the pump station located in the northwest corner of the applicant's property was originally paid for through an Oregon grant and loan program. The loan money needs to be repaid to the State over a period of years and there was a costs distribution, approved by the Council and accepted by the State, that property owners would be obligated to pay at the time building permits are issued. Councilor Bjelland questioned if the applicant would be the builder on all of the lots or would the lots be sold for other builders to construct homes. Mr. Donaldson stated that Capital Development initially will build on a few of the lots but it is there practice to attract other builders to purchase lots thereby generating different housing styles. There initial research indicates that the price range for homes in this area is between $125,000 - $150,000. Councilor Bjelland requested clarification on the maintenance of the ratio of the zoning to the original plan. Director Goeckritz stated that the intent was to maintain the ratio but road configuration and other factors do not make it a perfect match. He stated that the reconfiguration does provide for more commercial zone since approximately 17 acres has been taken out for roads. Councilor Bjelland also questioned the lack of a dedicated park or tot lot within the subdivision. Park & Recreation Director Westrick stated that the system development charge of approximately $35,000 is in lieu of land for this proposal. He also reminded the Council that the City does have the 100' right-of-way on the east side of the development. Mayor Jennings stated that the 100' right-of-way is an issue separate from this proposed development and will be brought up under "New Business" on this agenda. He reminded the public that testimony on this issue is not appropriate for this particular hearing. Director Westrick stated that this neighborhood within the draft Parks master plan would be served by the elementary school on Hayes Street. The current SDC charge per lot is $483. He also stated that the development size does not justify the building of a park which would require a minimum of 3 acres for a neighborhood park. Page 5 - Council Meeting Minutes, March 22,1999 .. COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 22, 1999 TAPE READING Don Bear, 375 S. Columbia, stated that he is a proponent of the project. He reiterated that this project is within the Urban Growth Boundary and the city limits, and it meets alls of the criteria for approval. The one condition remaining that needs to be finalized is the brick or cinder wall along the eastern side of the project which would maintain a separation between the greenway and residents along Columbia Drive. The sidewalk along Hayes Street is a controversial issue but he feels that, for safety reasons, the sidewalk needs to be installed for not only children but other pedestrians who frequently walk on Hayes Street. He also questioned the price range of homes since the price range may be a determining factor on how many more children will be brought into the community. Additionally, a higher price range of homes will create a new aesthetic value to this area. In regards to traffic, there has been some small progress to Highway 214, however, no one will know for sure how long it will be for any improvements are actually made. In the mean time, he does not feel that the developer should be held hostage until improvements are made. He also reminded the Council that sometime after Phase II is completed there will be two connections to Parr Road which will create a new north/south flow of traffic. 2343 Bill Coldwell, 170 Columbia, stated that he was representing 35 residents who own property adjacent to the 100' right-of-way and would like to make some comments to the Council on this right-of-way. Mayor Jennings stated that he would accept the papers drafted by the residents when it is discussed under New Business. He assured the residents that meetings would be held with the property owners before any decision is made regarding the right-of-way. Bruce Kaiser, attorney representing his mother-in-law who lives on Columbia near the Hayes/Evergreen St. intersection, expressed his concern regarding the alignment of the proposed right-of-way extension of Evergreen Road. He stated that his mother-in-law's home is located one block south of Hayes St. and the notice from the City shows that the proposed right-of-way is within 15 feet of the rear of her house. There are 3 or 4 homes similarly affected by this alignment and he feels that a decision on the right-of-way needs to be made before the zoning is changed. He is concern with the potential designation of Evergreen as a minor arterial and this roadway would be within 15 feet of his mother-in- law's home. Director Goeckritz stated that the roadway would not be placed that close to the homes. There is an existing 100' right-of-way adjacent to the east property line and the improvements would be within a 74' area. At this time, it is unknown as to how close the road improvement would be to the property line in question (137 Columbia). Mr. Kaiser stated that he is responding to the map that they received and having a 50' - 75' space would be a different matter. The lots on Columbia are 80' deep with a majority of the homes built within 18' of the property line. Page 6 - Council Meeting Minutes, March 22, 1999 - . COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 22, 1999 TAPE READING 2706 Roger Mathis, 1810 Astor Way, addressed new development in general and he suggested that the City halt future annexations and residential development until the City increases SDC charges and dedicates that increase, plus interest earnings, to a second 1-5 interchange. Once that action is taken, annexations and residential developments could resume within the City. In his opinion, each development adds to the traffic problems and development should cease until the City Council takes a definite action that would move toward a second interchange even though it may take years to get the interchange. 2800 Mr. Donaldson stated that the right-of-way issue is something that they did not create and they are willing to work with staff and the Council to arrive at an amiable method to deal with that issue. It is not their intent to build a road within 15 feet from someone's back door. They are agreeable to having the Council approve their project conditioned upon a resolution to the roadway issue. He stated that they recognize the issues before the City and as they are allowed to move forward with their projects, the potential to create the second off-ramp system will be much more viable. George Wilhelm stated that the proposed roadway moves away from lots on Columbia as quickly as possible and the Transportation Plan allows for a 74' right-of-way rather than the existing 100' right-of-way. Tape 2 Director Tiwari stated that the first two lots will be backing up against the existing 100' right-of-way and the proposed roadway improvement will include 48 feet of paved surface. Actual distance of the roadway from the rear of the house will be dependent upon placement of the paved roadway as it aligns to the existing Evergreen Road. Further discussion was held regarding the location of the roadway in relation to the distance to existing homes. Director Goeckritz stated that the notices to property owners are not engineering maps which ultimately show actual placement of improvements. Brief discussion was also held regarding the designation of Evergreen Road as a minor arterial. Director Goeckritz stated that the Transportation Plan designates Frontage Road as a future major arterial and the extension of Evergreen Rd as a minor arterial. Councilor Sifuentez mentioned to the audience that the Council is studying the impact developments have on the school system. Mayor Jennings closed the hearing at 8:34 p.rn.. 0216 Councilor Pugh stated that he is concerned with the transportation issue in the 1-5 interchange area. By approving the proposed subdivision, it will add to our existing problems, however, working together with Capital Development on future phases of their development will provide a Frontage Road to Parr Road and hopefully a second interchange. Councilor Figley stated that the applicant would still be able to develop the subdivision even if the Council decided not to approve the Comprehensive and Zone map designations since single family residential is allowed in a commercial district. She shares the concerns of the Council and public on the traffic congestion on Highway 214. Page 7 - Council Meeting Minutes, March 22, 1999 ~ COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 22, 1999 TAPE READING In reviewing the application and the Planning Commission's conditions, she is willing to approve the application with the following changes: I) condition of approval that applicant meet with staff and neighbors on Columbia in an attempt to resolve issues relating to noise, right-of-way, security, and privacy; 2) delete item 14 '..City Council make an effort to get the property (100' right-of-way) on the tax rolls; and 3) condition 10 be removed since it is the same as condition 13. Councilor Kilmurray stated that she likes the reconfiguration of the zones, however, she is concerned about the traffic impact. Councilor Bjelland expressed his opinion that this development will create more traffic problems on Highway 214 and the only solution is to put a road through to Parr Road thereby providing another north/south traffic flow pattern. He is also concerned about the reconfigured percentages which shifted about 20% of the single family zone to multi- family and commercial zones. Another area of concern relates to parks since this proposal would require the children to walk to the school in order to have a playground area and the school is not truly a designated park. Councilor Sifuentez expressed her opinion that, overall, it is a good proposal. However, she does have concerns on the lack of a playground for the children. If the elementary school is used as a playground site, the safety of the children is very important since they will have to walk or ride bikes to the school to use the playground area. Councilor Chadwick stated that her concerns were traffic, schools, and lack of a designated playground within the development. Mayor Jennings complimented the developer in trying to provide a more compatible zoning configuration. The residential buildout is giving the City problems on traffic and within the schools. He suggested that Phase II of this overall development look at designating some land for park purposes. He is also concerned about the location of the roadway from the first few lots along Columbia but feels that it can be worked out with all affected parties. Councilor Pugh expressed his opinion that the City needs to have their park system well- planned in proper locations and not necessarily within each development. Brief discussion was held regarding the ability of a Homeowners Association to take on responsibility for the upkeep and maintenance of a tot lot within their development. 0673 FIGLEYIPUGH... Council approve the Planning Commission's recommendation with the following modifications to the conditions of approval: #1) Item 13 be deleted because it duplicates item 10; #2) Number 14 be deleted as not germane to the discussion; #3) that the developer be required to meet with staff and with Columbia neighbors in order to resolve privacy, security, and sound abatement issues having to do with the double frontage on Evergreen as previously dedicated; and staff prepare an ordinance to substantiate our decision.

I COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES MARCH 22, 1999 TAPE READING Councilor Bjelland stated that the staff report included CC&R information which is an issue that has been before the Council in the past. FIGLEYIBJELLAND.. amend the motion that the conditions of approval be recorded with Marion County. Discussion was held regarding the recording of the CC&R's as a condition of approval. Mayor Jennings reminded the Council that conditions of approval can be enforced by the City whereas CC& R's can only be enforced by the Homeowners Association. Councilor Bjelland reiterated his statement that he feels that the CC&R's should be recorded as a condition along with the recording of the subdivision plat. Further discussion was held on the recording ofthe CC&R's and the conditions of approval. City Attorney Shields summarized the concerns expressed by the Councilors and suggested that the staff bring back the parameters on recording (1) CC&R's and (2) planning conditions, with the understanding that the Council would like to have it done starting with this land use case. Mayor Jennings called for a vote on the amendment to have the conditions of approval recorded at Marion County. The amendment passed unanimously. On roll call vote of the main motion, as amended, the vote was unanimous. Councilor Bjelland briefly reviewed problems experienced in the past by the City and homeowners when developers initially propose CC&R's as part of their development proposal when in reality they never record the CC&R's. Homeowners in these developments purchase property expecting certain conditions or events to happen but failure to record the CC&R's often times results in the anticipated conditions or events never happening. By submitting CC&R's as a condition of obtaining approval for a subdivision, the City goes on record requiring that those CC&R's be recorded at the same point in time that the subdivision plat is recorded. BJELLANDIPUGH... Council adopt as a policy that the CC&R's be submitted as a condition of approval for a subdivision and they be recorded at the same time that the subdivision plat is recorded. Following Council discussion on this motion, Administrator Brown requested that staff be given an opportunity to research this issue and report back to the Council at the next regular meeting. 1221 COUNCIL BILL 1953. ORDINANCE APPROVING THE VACATION OF A PORTION OF ARNEY ROAD. Councilor Chadwick introduced Council Bill 1953. Recorder Tennant read the two readings of the bill by title only since there were no objections from the Council. On roll call vote for final passage, the bill passed unanimously.

Council Bill 1954 was introduced by Councilor Chadwick. The bill was read by title only since there were no objections from the Council. Mayor Jennings questioned as to why the City is required to pay for each one of these agreements rather than paying only one fee. Public Works Manager Rohman stated that the City must pay the same license fee for each crossing point. On roll call vote for final passage, the bill passed unanimously. Mayor Jennings declared Council Bill 1954 duly passed. 1332 COUNCIL BILL 1955 - RESOLUTION ENTERING INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD FOR INSTALLATION OF A FIBER OPTIC CABLE AT MILEPOST 735.070.

He distributed information to the Council which included a map of the area and a survey certificate. Mayor Jennings stated that the City has looked into this issue and even if the Council would vacate the property it would still remain with the City since there is no reversion clause in any of the documents the City has found. He reiterated that the City would like to work with the property owners on this issue. 1490 Councilor Figley reiterated that staff, Columbia Drive neighbors, and Capital Development meet to discuss the issue of the 100 feet as previously outlined in the conditions of approval. 1540 SITE PLAN REVIEW #99-02: LA MORENITA TORTILLERIA.

Councilor Kilmurray reported that the Woodburn Fire District is starting a new CERT team training program (Certified Emergency Response Team) beginning April 8th. This is a 6-week program in which classes are held every Thursday night for 3 hours. The purpose of the program to help educate and train lay people within our community in natural disaster cases. In the event of an emergency, CERT team members would assist residents within their neighborhood. This is the 4th CERT class that has been offered by the Fire Department. She stated that she had been a member of the 2nd class offered and found it to be very interesting. 1615 On behalf of Councilor Sifuentez, Park Director Westrick reported that the School District had accepted a report from the Community Schools Facilities Committee. He stated that the Montebello subdivision is factored into their needs assessment for future school needs. An interesting statistic included in the report is that the grade school population is growing by 7% annually which affects not only the school district but also the Parks and Recreation program. By the year 2003, there will be enough students in Woodburn to fill a new school the size of Heritage. Councilor Sifuentez informed the public that the Great Oregon Spring Beach Clean-up will be March 27, 1999, 10:00 am to 1 :00 pm, at the Oregon Coast. She has an informational flyer available for anyone who is interested in participating in this annual event. Councilor Sifuentez also stated that Richard Steen, Steen's Jewelry, continues to express his concern regarding the amount of garbage along the railroad in the downtown area.
