COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 13, 1998 TAPE READING 0314 REOUEST FOR PERMANENT BARRICADE ON VANDERBECK LANE. JENNINGS/PUGH... accept the minority report from the Planning Commission concerning the closure of Vanderbeck east of Astor Way which, in effect, would approve a permanent barricade at that point. Councilor Jennings stated that the minority report did not recommend the abandonment of the right-of-way and he supported that position. He complimented the staff on a job well done in preparing their technical report even though he disagreed with the staff report. He stated that the Transportation Plan did not call for Astor Way to be a collector street and felt that opening Vanderbeck would make Astor Way a collector since motorists would use that roadway to get to Highway 214 rather than using Boones Ferry Rd.. Councilor Jennings stated that Joe Walsh, representing the developer of the proposed subdivision "Miller Links", had stated that they did not object to the installation of a permanent barricade. In the minority report written by Commissioners Lawson and Cox, he expressed his opinion that the following issues brought forth in the report were primary reasons for his decision to accept the minority report: 1) future safety of the individuals within the retirement community since more traffic will be generated if Vanderbeck is constructed to Boones Ferry Rd; 2) closure of Vanderbeck at this point in time does not eliminate connectivity since future developers can utilize Country Club Rd. to the south; 3) emergency vehicles come from the south and there should not be added response time as a result of the closure of Vanderbeck; and 4) there are a number of streets within the City that currently have more than 150 feet of stub that do not have cul-de-sacs, therefore, precedents have already been set. He stated that in his review of this issue, he would have come to the same opinion ifthis was coming from any other part of the City and he reiterated that a collector street must not be made out of a residential street. He stated that he would vote to support the barricade but he would not support abandonment of the right-of-way. Additionally, he agreed with the Fire Department that the name of the street on the east side of the barricade be changed. Mayor Kirksey expressed her opinion that residents ofthe senior community had a reasonable expectations that Vanderbeck would not be a through street onto Boones Ferry Rd., therefore, she supports the installation of the barricade. She stated her belief that staff did what was appropriate on the technical level, however, the human factor should be given more consideration. Councilor Hagenauer stated that he agreed with the majority report citing the need to follow technical expertise. Councilor Sifuentez stated that she also agreed with the planners and the majority of Commissioners in that the roadway should be extended to Boones Ferry Road. She Page 3 - Council Meeting Minutes, April 13, 1998 , 1 ] -r-'---_. --"--.'.._-"- .._~'~-- COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 13, 1998 TAPE READING reminded the public that the streets belong to the City and should be accessible to all members of the community. Councilor Chadwick stated that she agreed with Councilor Jennings in that Astor Way does not need more traffic. She expressed her concern regarding the safety of the pedestrians since there are no sidewalks in Senior Estates. Councilor Pugh expressed his appreciation to the Council for deferring this issue until this meeting. He reminded the Council that they had previously voted to place a barricade on Nekia Street in West Woodburn. He also stated that this situation is not unique to Woodburn and cited an example in West Salem (Salem Towne)in which a barricade was placed within that community to limit traffic into the area. He expressed his support for the installation ofthe barricade. Councilor Figley stated that she had mixed emotions on this issue, however, after reviewing both reports, she was willing to support the installation of the barricade provided that the right-of-way was not abandoned. She also suggested that a break-away barricade be considered in the event emergency vehicles need access to the areas on either side ofthe barricade. 0997 Laten Frawley, Planning Commission member, stated that he had voted for the majority report, however, at the time the issue was being discussed, he had forgotten the barricade placed on Nekia Street. Therefore, he did not feel that placing the barricade on Vanderbeck would set a precedent. Jack Donnelly, 1349 Vanderbeck, stated that he was in support of the barricade but also wanted to share a concern with the Council regarding the number of vehicles that currently go through the private parking lot in front of the Club House in order to drive down Country Club Road to Highway 214. Myron Va-Baumer, 1731 Princeton Rd, stated that he was in favor of the closure of Vanderbeck He informed the Council that Senior Estates has 480 ticketed golf carts that use the streets in Senior Estates and safety is a major issue to be considered by the Council. He also expressed his appreciation for the stop signs that had been installed by the City since it has slowed down the speed of motorists. Roger Mathis, 1810 Astor Way, stated that he was hopeful that other issues besides engineering would sway the judgement of the Council and he expressed his appreciation to those Councilors who supported the installation ofthe barricade. On roll call vote, the motion passed 4-2 with Councilors Hagenauer and Sifuentez voting nay. 1194 Hazel Smith, 105 Ben Brown Lane, summarized the contents of a letter she had previously sent to the Council regarding the ex-Salud building. The 1993 earthquake damaged many buildings in the downtown area and property owners were required to Page 4 - Council Meeting Minutes, April 13, 1998 . ~ ] 1 ~."--,.,~_._----,--~~...,-~,..~.~ COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES APRIL 13, 1998 TAPE READING make the necessary repairs. However, the ex-Salud building still has not been repaired. She stated that she is a member of the Downtown Association and they feel that the building is a disgrace to the downtown area. She feels that the Council needs to be tough with this new owner since they were tough with other downtown property owners who made major repairs within a reasonable period oftime. JENNINGS/PUGH... add the Salud building as agenda item 14A. The motion passed unanimously. 1286 Tom Waggoner, 849 Woodland Ave, complimented the Park Dept on their new building in Burlingham Park and hoped that tables would be moved toward the church area since that is where the majority of the people gather and utilize the picnic area. He also questioned the status of getting irrigation on the islands. They have collected $227 to date to buy plants for the islands but are waiting for the irrigation before the plants are purchased. Director Tiwari stated that there was discussion on the irrigation request and it had previously been agreed to provide irrigation to the north median but not the south median pending the outcome of the proposed Factory Outlet development He stated that he would work out the details with neighborhood group. Councilor Pugh also expressed his appreciation to the Waggoners who regularly clean-up the Woodland Avenue area. Elizabeth Black, Jesuit Volunteer who works at the Youth Drop-In Center, stated that letters had been submitted to the City requesting that a stop sign or some other type of traffic control be placed on Park A venue in front ofthe Drop-In Center. There have been several occurrences where children have almost been hit by cars when they cross the street They have an average of 300 signed up for the program most of which live in the immediate area. On March 18'h, they counted 340 cars that passed by the Drop-In Center between 3:30 pm and 4:30 pm. Sharon Marciniak and Kristi Davidson were also in attendance in support ofthis request Director Tiwari stated that the request has been received and Julie Moore has been assigned to look into this issue. He reminded the Council that a stop sign is not always the solution and options will be analyzed by staff with a report to the Council at a later date. 1586 PUBLIC HEARING - ANNEXATION #97-05.

This concern has been addressed by the ,developer and the fence will be placed on the north and east sides of the development. He stated that the applicant does comply with the single family zone designation, city lot size standards, and with several conditions that were imposed by the Planning Commission. A tot lot will be placed within the subdivision to be maintained by their Homeowners Association. The tot lot can also be used as a detention pond during the winter months. The development will generate approximately 688 vehicle trips daily with approximately 73 trips during peak periods. The development will have two accesses to accommodate the traffic. Councilor Jennings questioned if a water line loop will be created since Vanderbeck will be barricaded. Director Goeckritz stated that there will be no stubbing of lines. 2230 Mike George, MC Builders (developers of the property), stated that Director Goeckritz has adequately addressed their proposal and reiterated that they have no objection to the closure of Vanderbeck since it has impact on their development. On the proposed site plan, the tot lot is located at the end of a cul-de-sac since it has minimal traffic and the pedestrian path keeps children out ofthe roadway.

The motion passed unanimously. 0106 SPECIAL EVENT PARK PERMIT FOR CINCO de MAYO CELEBRATION. Park & Recreation Director Westrick briefly reviewed the new permit requirement which would reduce to writing the terms and conditions for use of the park facilities. He stated that it is in pilot format for our community and it does include a provision for fees. However, this particular event does not require any fees since it is a new event for the park facility and it is unknown as to how well it will do this year and the staff does not know what our expenses will be in order to justify charging a specific fee. A deposit will be required in the amount of $1 ,000 to cover costs for repairs that may be necessary as a result of this event, and it does require the promoter to name the City as an additional insured. Hopefully, this permit process will lay the groundwork for future permits involving use of City grounds, parks or facilities. Police Chief Wright expressed his support of Director Westrick's attempt to get the permit in writing so that responsibilities are made very clear.

Councilor Figley expressed her appreciation in receiving the newsletter and she hoped that the new administrator would continue this type of communication with the Council.

She thanked Karen Tate for her wonderful article in the Woodburn Independent on Norma Cook who has shown the qualities of a true volunteer. 0816 JoAnn Bjelland, 888 Wilson, stated that she had been watching the meeting on cable tv, however, after hearing comments regarding the Vanderbeck barricade issue, she decided to come down to this meeting to express her views. In her opinion, the majority report should have been accepted by the Council and she briefly reviewed issues that were of concern to her. She questioned if a procedure was in place that would provide for the Council to reconsider the action taken earlier in this meeting. Attorney Shields stated that it is a judgement call of the Council as to whether or not they want to reconsider the issue. Mayor Kirksey stated that she doubted if the Councilors would change their vote and, if they did, she would not change her mind which is to install the barricade.
