independent 9-1-1 dispatch agency (NORCOM) being created
through an intergovernmental agreement effective July 1, 1995.
The total budget for all funds is $19,772,307. This total
includes the individual budgets for the tax-supported funds

Recorder Tennant read the land use statement as required by
ORS 197.763.
Community Development Director Goeckritz entered the following
documents into the record: Exhibit $1 - Staff Report, Exhibit
#2 - ATEP Engineering Transportation Study, and Exhibit #3 -
Written comments made by the public on this issue.
The Director stated that the proposal involves the annexation
of 34.5 acres located north of Country Club Rd. and west of
Boones Ferry Road. Residences in the most westerly portion of
the proposed subdivision would have backyards adjacent to
homes within Senior Estates. The average lot size within the
proposed 145 lot subdivision is 6,500 square feet which meets
the residential land criteria for this type of development.
The applicant is also requesting that the property be rezoned
from Marion County Urban Transition Farm (UTF) to Residential
Single Family (RS). The proposed subdivision will have a
Homeowner's Association and homes will range in value between
$125,000 and $175,000. A "good neighbor" fence will border
the perimeter of the property along Vanderbeck, Astor Way, and
Country Club Road. The fence will be very similar to the one
required in the Henry Farms Subdivision. Along Boones Ferry
Rd., there will be a brick entrance way with a detention pond
to be used during high flow periods. The transportation
analysis, prepared by Associated Transportation Engineering &
Planning (ATEP) for the applicant, concludes that there will
be approximately 1,400 vehicular trips per day generated by
this subdivision. The subdivision proposal provides for two
access points into the development - one from Boones Ferry Rd.
and the other onto Country Club Road. Another access point
will be on the north side of the development onto Vanderbeck
once Vanderbeck becomes a through street to Boones Ferry Rd.
The homes adjacent to Country Club Rd. will not front the
roadway, therefore, reducing the number of accesses to Country
Club. He reviewed the traffic circulation within the
development and stated that the access to Country Club will
lineup with the future roadway into Henry Farms subdivision
and will allow for a walkway into Henry Farms so children do
not need to walk down Boones Ferry Rd. to go to school. The
developer has also agreed to a non-remonstrance agT~ement
regarding any future improvements to Boones Ferry Road and
will be dedicating approximately 10 feet of right-of-way along
Boones Ferry Rd. for future road improvements. The Planning
Commission closed their public hearing on this issue on April
13, 1995 and took action to recommend approval of the
application with conditions at the April 27, 1995 meeting.
Those conditions, in addition to those already recommended by
staff, included 1) a sign be posted at Country Club and Astor
Way to identify it as a dead-end street and 2) move the
detention basin internally rather than near the roadway and
use it for a play area/tot lot with a $19,200 adjustment from

the approximately $70,000 required for cash in-lieu-of land
Park System Development Charge. The Home Owners Association
will be responsible for the maintenance of the common areas
within the facility which includes the play area/tot lot and
the fence surrounding the development. Director Goeckritz
also stated that a letter had been received from Senior
Estates addressing traffic concerns and a petition had been
received (Exhibit 4) with 980 signatures from Senior Estates
expressing concern on the health and safety of residents
through the increase in traffic to be generated by Heritage
Park.
1460
Ken Sherman Jr., attorney representing the applicant Multi-
Tech Engineering, stated that the land use application
requested an annexation of property, zone change amendment,
subdivision approval, and a variance on the internal traffic.
He stated that the developer has a solid reputation of
providing high-quality affordable housing primarily in the
Salem area, one of which is "The Meadows" in Keizer. There
will be a brick entrance to Heritage Park similar to "The
Meadows" entrance way. Annexation of the property will allow
the developer to obtain city services. The property is
already within the Urban Growth Plan and is designated as
residential on the map. He stated that Woodburn is
experiencing a need for increased housing in the medium price
range with a main feature for this development being close
proximity to the freeway. The developers are in agreement
with the Planning Commission's conditions regarding fencing,
moving of the detention basin to the other side of the cul-de-
sac near the entrance to .the development, park development,
and realigning the north street onto Country Club Rd. to line-
up with road improvement into Henry Farms.
Mark Grimms, Multi-Tech Engineering, stated that he had worked
closely with City staff over the last six months in developing
the site plan. The major focus within this development is to
line up accesses on Country Club Road and Boones Ferry Road
and to plan for a future access onto Vanderbeck if it is
extended to Boones Ferry Road. The internal traffic flow
consists of short blocks and is of simple design. The storm
drain system is a pass-through type for low flow periods and a
detention basin to be used for high flow periods only. Water
within the detention basin would disappear within a few hours.
Councilor Chadwick questioned increased traffic flow down
Astor Way rather than the motorists utilizing Boones Ferry
Road.
Dick Woelk, traffic engineer for Associated Transportation
Engineering & Planning, stated that there would be some
traffic infiltration down Astor Way, however, it is only
estimated at 10% or 30 cars per day. The reason this
infiltration is low is because the Transportation Plan will be
Page 5 - Council Meeting Minutes, May 22, 1995

23O2
downgrading of Astor Way to a local street rather than a
collector street and travel time studies show that the
quickest method to reach the freeway is to travel Boones Ferry
Road to Highway 214.
Preston Tack, 2197 Camilla Way, stated that he is taking a
neutral position on this issue but he didquestion if
sufficient right-of-way is being obtained from the developer
in the event Boones Ferry Rd. becomes 5 traffic lanes with a
bicycle lane.
Phil Hand, Attorney representing Senior Estates, reviewed
several concerns Senior Estates Golf & Country Club have
regarding the .traffic issue. He stated that Senior Estates is
unique in that there are no sidewalks for pedestrians and many
residents use golf carts as a means of transportation to
locations within Senior Estates and adjacent shopping areas.
He felt that the traffic engineer's estimate for traffic
infiltration within Senior Estates is too low since motorists
tend to take shortcuts to Highway 214. To lessen the impact
the new development may have on Senior Estates, they requested
that 1) motorists be discouraged from using Country Club Rd.
and they be asked to slow down while traveling within Senior
Estates, 2) stop signs be placed at the intersection of
Country Club Road and Umpqua Road, 3) Randolph Rd and Rainier
Rd. become a 3-way stop intersection, and 4) designating a tot
lot will keep residents within Heritage Park from using the
Senior Estates Park.
2688
Bob Christophersen objected to the site plan design suggesting
that homes front Country Club Rd. with direct access rather
than having an enclosed development with only two or three
access points. He also expressed concerns regarding the fence
and maintenance of landscape areas.
2955
Alan Nutall, 1986 Heather, stated that the tot lot would not
be available for use for most of the year and that a tot lot
of approximately 6,500 square feet would be insufficient area
to keep kids within the development.
Ken Sherman, applicant's attorney, stated that the dedicated
right-of-way.on the west side of Boones Ferry Rd will be
sufficient to accommodate 5 lanes of traffic. The developer
is willing to discourage traffic from utilizing the Senior
Estates streets and has no problem with the placement of the
dead-end street sign or stop sign requests. This is a
preliminary site plan which will need to go through a final
site plan process before development begins. In regards to
homes fronting Country Club Road, limiting the number of
accesses onto Country Club Road will reduce future traffic

problems along that street. The developer has a good history
in creating Homeowner Associations that work at minimal cost
to the homeowners. The Homeowners Association will maintain
the perimeter of the development, fencing, and the park even
though the park will be open to the public. The approximate
size of the park is 15,000 square feet which they consider to
be adequate to meet the needs of the homeowners within the
development. Additionally, sidewalks are required within the
development per City ordinance.
The public hearing was declared closed at 8:33 p.m..
Councilor Figley stated that she did have some concerns
regarding the size of the park in a fairly large subdivision
but felt that this concern would not be enough to vote against
the subdivision.
Council President Jennings expressed his support for the
requests made by the Senior Estates Golf & Country Club
regarding traffic signs and the need to include these requests
as conditions of approval. Additionally, he did not want to
see any playground equipment placed in the Senior Estates
Park.
Councilor Sifuentez commended the developers in there working
with Senior Estates to minimize problems associated with this
development.
Councilor Chadwick stated that she did not fully agree with
the engineer's estimate for traffic infiltration in Senior
Estates and she feels that increased traffic will be a problem
for the Estates.

NORCOM is not able. to enter into contracts until after the

Staff stated the applicant wished to build a combination gas station/car wash
which would be located on Lawson Avenue south of McDonald's Restaurant.
It would be located on a .82 acre parcel. It is an allowable use in the CG Zone.
The applicant has met all the criteria for approval. Adequate infrastructure is
already in place. A letter was included in the planning packet from ODOT
regarding the traffic study. Staff was concerned about a loading space (for
deliveries) but the decision to have one would be left up to the Commission.
Commissioner Warzynski asked if there was a name on the street behind
McDonald's and if access to Lawson would be across the vacant lot.
Staff answered that the street behind McDonald's was private but would share
access with the proposed Texaco and Motel 8. The purpose of the access
management plan was to get as much shared access as possible to limit the
number of access points that would interrupt the flow of traffic.
Commissioner Bjelland asked about Police Chief Wright's comments about
widening Lawson Ave.
Staff explained that in regards to Lawson in the future it would be a right-in,
right-out only street. By widening Lawson now and providing refuge lanes
would only be confusing/disruptive to traffic when it was changed to right-in,
right-out.
Commissioner Atkinson asked about site access to the Texaco station.
Staff answered that there would be two shared accesses, one with McDonald's
and the other with future development to the south.
The applicant, Gary LaPoint, 10618 Crosby Road, addressed the
recommendation by Police Chief Wright. He stated that the curb cut to widen
the driveway which was necessary to accommodate large/double trucks
delivering fuel. He stated that he would like to make the landscaping
compatible to McDonald's to make the area look more uniform.
Chairperson Warzynski asked about the signs.
Staff stated this would be discussed in the future.
Mr. LaPoint handed out literature regarding signs.
Staff recommended the sign issue not be discussed at this time due to the fact
the Commission had not had time to review the material.

anyone in the audience who wished to speak against this project.
Vance Cromley, Attorney, 1191 Capital Street, representing Barry Sullivan,
owner of the Texaco on the west side of the freeway. He stated that the
traffic study focused on the traffic view from the Super Motel/Texaco on the
Evergreen/Hwy 214 intersection not the Lawson/Hwy 214 intersection. He
talked about the 2 minutes, 50 seconds it took him, at 1:10 p.m. on May 25,
1995, to exit McDonald's on Lawson and make a left hand turn onto Hwy 214.
He commented on the trip generation projection. He asked for a continuance
of the hearing for 2 to 4 weeks so they could do a traffic study of their own.
Commissioner Finch asked if this was a different type of business would the
attorney be here to oppose it,
Mr. Cromle¥ stated that he could not answer that.
Dale Baker, 2874 Newberg Hwy, stated that 6 years ago he built the Texaco
across the freeway. He had the Exxon station which has now been changed
to a restaurant, he worked with the city to get the Country Club Road
realignment.. He stated that he was not against the proposal, he was
concerned about the traffic problems in the area.
Chairperson asked if there was anyone else who wished to speak against this
proposal. There were none.
The applicant, Mr. LaPoint stated that in regards to the traffic study, Mr. Tom
Lancaster, traffic engineer, was present if they would like to ask any questions.
He stated that most people would go to the signal at Evergreen.
Tom Lancaster, Traffic Engineer, Union Station #206, Portland, stated that in
regards to the comment that the traffic on Lawson/Hwy 214 intersection was
not looked at in the traffic study was not true. He stated that it is addressed
on page 15 .. of the traffic study and in regards to the trip generation, traffic
engineers use a trip generation manual for their calculations.
Commissioner Finch asked Mr. LaPoint if there has been any discussion with
McDonald's about closing the access on Lawson closest to Hwy 214.
Mr. LaPoint Stated that no it had not been discussed at this time.

Staff advised the Commission that they had a member of the audience request
the record remain open. He advised the Commission that they could close the
hearing or leave it open until the next meeting. It the Commission's wish to
close the hearing it is potentially subject to appeal.
Commissioner Bjelland asked if ODOT agreed with this proposal.
Staff stated that ODOT did not believe this proposal would require any off site
mitigation. They do not believe that this proposal would cause additional traffic
burden to the point that something would have to be done.
Commissioner Bjelland made the motion to close the public hearing.
Commissioner Henkes seconded the motion.
A vote was taken and passed unanimously.
Commissioner Bjelland asked staff if people could be encouraged to use the
access road to the north of the proposal to exit.
Staff sated that it was possible this would be a very attractive exit.
Commissioner Henkes asked if there would be direction signs back to the
freeway.
Staff answered yes.
Chairperson Warzynski asked if the Commission could recommend to the Public
Works Department that Lawson be a right-in/right-out soon.
Staff answered yes, the Commission could recommend that a study be done
as to when this would be warranted, but not as a condition of approval for this
project.
Commissioner Finch asked if a condition of approval for widening the access
on Lawson Street for truck use.
Staff answered that a standard 20 foot radius was required but allowances
could be made for flexibilitv.
Commissioner Bjelland made the motion to approve SPR 95-10 with the
conditions listed in the staff report and the condition that the access onto
Lawson widened and an analysis of the right-in/right-out on Lawson Avenue be

B. SPR 95-05 Super-Motel
Staff read the statement necessary to begin the hearing. Staff read the
Approval Criteria, the Raise it or Waive it Rule and the Right to Have the Record
Remain Open.
Staff stated that the applicant, Richert & Associates wished to build a 4,865
sq. ft. hotel with 104 rooms. It would be located on the property west of the
of Evergreen Road behind the 76 gas station, south of McDonald's access road.
Staff stated :.hat the hotel would have an indoor pool. The building itself would
be three stories, 37 ft tall. A traffic study was done and reviewed by staff and
ODOT. This project meets the' required setbacks and landscaping standards.
It has no restaurant facilities. All laundry would be done on site. It has
vending maChines. Staff has concerns about a loading space for deliveries of
cleaning pro'Jucts and items for the vending machines. The access points to
this development would be shared.
The applicant, David Huffman, 9311 SW 36th Ave. Swan Island, Portland,
stated that they looked at traffic control and talked about shared accesses with
the other developers. They felt that a loading stall was not needed sign only
vending machines were in the hotel and most deliveries to these machines were
during the non busy hours of the hotel. He stated that the front and back of
the hotel look the same. He discussed the color which would match the
surrounding residential structures.
Chairperson Warzynski asked what width was the access to the hotel.
Mr. Huffmar. answered 26 ft.

to speak for this project. There were none. She then asked if there was
anyone who wished to speak against this project.
Dale Baker, 2874 Newberg Hwy, stated he had traffic concerns on Hwy 214.
He stated that he was not against the Super 8 Motel project only the traffic
problems.
Commissioner Finch stated that he agreed with Mr. Baker regarding traffic. He
asked Mr. Baker if he was proposing to stop all development on the east side
of the freeway until all the traffic were solved.
Mr. Baker answered no, but traffic problems needed to be solved so he will
fight the system until the traffic problems are solved.
Mr. Huffman introduced Tom Lancaster, Transportation Engineer for the
project.
Mr. Lancaster stated that the traffic study mentioned previously included the
hotel traffic.
Chairperson Warzynski closed the public hearing.

willing to absorb the engineering costs. Construction costs for this
project is budgeted at $27,697 for the fiscal year 1995-96. The
board agreed with Mr. Tiwad that this seems the best course of
1
· , 3C
action and that we should keep open the option to further develop or
expand the lot in the future.

Re: Woodburn Fertilizer Public Hearing
Dear Mayor Kirksey and City Councilors:
On May 8, 1995 during a recent public hearing I made.statements regarding the
Hardeastle/Front Street neighborhood which upon reflection I realize were offensive, insensitive,
inaccurate and inappropriate. Please accept my formal apology to the council, and all the citizens of
Woodbum for those offensive statements.
I am very sorry and regret having made the statements. My poor choice of words showed my
lack of experience more than any intent to malign or characterize this area. After discussing this
matter with my client and other attorneys in my office, it is dear I should have used different words
or said nothing at all in the heat of the exchange with the neighboring property owner.
I can assure you the statements were not intended to cast a bad light on Woodbum, but rather
were a poor attempt at rebuttal. It clearly was not my intent or purpose to disparage your
community. Woodburn is a great community to live and work in. I strongly feel this way and have
communicated this sentiment to the planning staff on many occasions over the last year.
Please accept this letter as my formal apology in this matter, and my promise that I will be
much more cognivant of my testimony in the future. Thank you for understanding this situation and
I look forward to many years of association with the City of Woodburn.
Yours truly,

Exhibit A - Findings and Conclusions [Davidson Farms, Inc.]
10A
I. Nature of the Application:
This decision contains four interrelated land use actions. The first is an amendment to
thc Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) for thc City of Woodbum to bring the subject property
inside the boundary. The second is annexing the property into thc corporate limits of thc City
of Woodburn. Thc Third is designating thc parcel as Industrial in the comprehensive plan. The
fourth and final action is acOmlly rezoning the subject pwperty to Light Industrial (IL).
H. HLstory of the Application:
A duly completed application was received by the City Planning Detmmnent in
November, 1994. Staff analyzed the proposal and received commeats and information from
other agencies and, based upon that review and analysis, recommended that thc application be
approved.
A public hearing before the Woodburn Planning Commission was duly held on February
23, 1995 in which additional information and testimony was received. At thc dose of this
hearing the Woodbum Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend that all parts of
The m_~_n,,r .was submitted to the City Council for their review of the Planning
Commission recommendation. On March 27, 1995 the council duly held a public he-Hag on
this application, which hearing was then continued until April 10, 1995, at which time the record
in this matter was duly closed. At the conclusion of the public hearing, the Woodburn City
Council unanimously voted to approve all pans of this application as submitted.
During the open record period before the City Council, representatives from the applicant
and city staff met with staff from thc Department of Land Conservation and Developmeat
(DLCD) and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to discuss the .ca~se. DLCD
suggested that additional information should be supplied about the possibility of converting other
18nda already inside the UGB to industrial use. The applicant thereafter commissioned an
exhaustive study of such possibility, which study was submitted to tho c/ty and incJ.udcd in thc
record of this case.
In addition, DLCD staff encouraged the city to focus on the industrial land bas~ need
approach to justification of this decision, rather than on thc potentinl benefit to the dty in siting
its split diamond in ,ta'change. Since the dty is cummtly in the midst of reviewing its own
Transportation Plan, and given the very strong evidence throughout the city of the tree need for
additional industrial lands as shown by thc applicant in _this case, it was agreed that thc primax'y
basis for this decision would focus on industrial land need, rather than the benefits to the city
Page 1 - l~ndings and Conclusions (Davidson Farms, Inc.)
COUNCIL BILL NO. 1635
E~hibit 'B', Page 2 of 23
from allowing an alteamative site for placement of the southern by-pass of the proposed split
diamond interchange.
Also during the preparation phase of this application numerous meetings were held
between the applicant and city staff and ODOT, as well as with private traffic engineers
regarding all aspects of this proposal. ODOT has indicated on numerous occasions that they do
ffot object to the land use nature of the application.
m. General Findings of Fact
The following findings of fact relate to general features of the land and surroundings and
apply in general to all aspects of this case.
The subject property is 19.6 acres in size and is triangular in shape. The parcel is the
southern tip of a contiguous tract owned by applicant, the total acreage of the combined
ownership is ~8.38 acres. The 68.8 acre tract within the UGB will be referred to herein
as the 'remnant tntrcel'. Thc land is generally fiat, however a drainage ditch traveraes
the length of the property from north to south. Although the ditch is somewhat lower
in elevation from the remainder of the site and is bermed to some extent, the site has
been delineated and found to not contain any jurisdictional wetlands.
e
The subject property is bounded by Interstate 5 to the east, industrial land to the north
and agricultural land to the west. Since the property is a triangle whose tip lies to the
south, there is no use identification for that direction. Beyond the industrial land to the
north lies Highway 219. The north edge of the subject tract borders the city limits of
Woodburn and the Woodbum UGB.
Sole access to the site is from Hwy 219 across the applicant's remnant parcel from the
newly constructed extension of Woodland Avenue. Without the joint ownership by the
applicant of the parcel directly to the north, the subject property would be landlocked.
e
The subject pzoperty is currently zoned EFU (exclusive farm use), and is designated
Primary Agriculture in the lvIarion County Comprehensive Plan.
The land around the subject property is a mixture of zones and uses. To the south and
west are EFU zoned lands. To the north is the remainder of applicant's property, which
is located inside the UGB, designated Industrial in the Woodburn Comprehensive Plan
(WCP) and zoned IL. To the east of Interstate 5 is a large area designated commercial
in the WCP and zoned for commercial re, il uses. Wal-Mart is located in this area, as
will be the newly approved Capital Development Corporation's factory mall outlet.
A soil study was performed on the site by Scoles and Associates. The study revealed
that the subject property consists of Woodbum silt loam, Amity silt loam and Dayton silt
loam. The Woodbum and Amity series soils are considered moderately well and
Pagg 2- l~ndings and Conclusions (Davidson Farms, Inc.)
IOA
10.
· COUNCIL BILL NO. 1635
Exhibit "B", Page 3 of 23
somewhat poorly drained respectively. The Dayton sou is considered poorly drained,
unless drained (by ditching, for example). Dayton soils are not considered suitable for
farm uses. Due to the size, shape, soil types and the drainage ditch across the subject
property, it has not been successfully farmed. A cover planting of rye grass has been
maintained in order to keep the weeds from growing and contaminating the adjacent
lands.
The subject property is not a profitable farming par,el. Ita mixed soil composition malrea
it difficult to ..grow a profitabl~ la'op. The triangular ~ of the par, el; the location of
the ditch bisecting the property; and the pr~enc~ of the high voltage tra~mi~ion lin~
along the entir~ ~ border maim it ~y impo~ible to manenv~r normal farm
~quipment on :the ~ite. The location of the site adjacent to Intea~te 5 eliminatea ea~ain
customary farming practices, such as field burning, which further m~lr~ the parcel
unsuitable for commercial fanning.
In addition, this area can not be integrated into other farms. The only other farming
activity takes place on the west leg of the triangle. The subject parcel simply does not
have good enough quality soil, in sufficient amounts to warrant the expense of
acquisition, or the additional eXlXmse required to even try farming it commercially with
the adjacent land. The freeway is contiguous along the entire east leg of the triangle.
On the other side of the freeway is a large area that is inside the city limits and is zoned
for commercial use. On the north leg of the triangle is the remnant of the applicant's
protxa'ty whic~h also is inside the city limits and is zoned for industrial use. Therefore
these two areas can not and will not integrate this area into a useable fanning tract.
Finally, the ,pm'cel could not be cornmerci_'~lly farmed as a stand alone unit, which was
fanned by someone who farmed in the area, but not on contiguous ground. The primary
reason is lack of suitable access. The only access to this area is through industrial land.
Access would come off Highway 219 at Woodland Avenue. It is highly uolilrely that any
farmer would risk the traffic congestion movement of farm equipment in this area. In
the event Woodland Avenue is not further extended from its present location to the
subject property, the 19.6 acres is landlocked entirely.
IV. Specific Findings and Conclusions on Need for Industrial Lands
In 1980, the city adopted a comprehensive plan, which was acknowledged by DLCD.
At the time of adoption of that plan, the city designated a total of 548.5 acres for
industrial development. At this time, excluding the applicant's p~, only 57.03
acres of developable land remain in the city to satisfy its current and future need for
industrial land.
The city, on ~verage, is currently utilizing 55 acres of industrial development per year.
This leaves an immediate need for about 110 acres in the next two years. This average
absorption is considered a good indicator for industrial land needs in the short term,
given the population increase in the city; and the depletion Of industrial lands that have

occurred in the past several years. The long term industrial lands needs of the city will
be addressed ,luring the next periodic review of the entire Woodbum Comprehensive
Plan and impi~menting ordinances. The findings and conclusions here are intended to
only address ti~e immediate short terms needs of the city.
The proposed modification of the boundary to include 19.6 AC will not completely
satisfy the short term industrial needs of the city. However, it is a good start. This UGB
amendment will assure that the applicant's prime industrial acreage (the remnant 68.38
acre tract) is made large enough (87.98 acres) to accommodate a variety of different
industrial use~, without being compromised by other circumstances that are beyond the
control of the property owner. By reconsolidating the parcel into one cohesive
developable tract, the city adds not only the 19.6 acres to its inventory, but the 68.38
acre parent tract becomes a much more viable tract for development to meet ,the
immediate short term need for industrial land. At 87.98 acres, the tract's size and
useable shape improves greatly, and brings the available lands total to 145.01 acres.
This will now provide one large cohesive parcel for a single industrial user, or a small
to medium siz4xl industrial park, which currently is not available in the city.
Although thc 19.6 acre parcel falls below the pure size requirement of the conversion
lands study paformed by the applicant, its inclusion is consistent with the findings of that
study which looked at smaller parcels which could be joined together to make a larger
tract of sufficient size. See in particular the discussion of size requirements on page 2
of the 'Definition of Industrial Lands' .section, where it is stated that smaller parcels may
qualify for the 50 acre minimum if they are contiguous and under one ownership. In
addition, two or more smaller parcels owned by different people could still qualify for
the 50 acre minimum if it seemed advisable for the smaller parcels to be amalgamated
for development purposes.
In this case, the 19.6 acres is actually a part of the larger tract; is under one ownership
and makes up a tract of almost 88 acres when viewed together. This identical analysis
was employed throughout the conversion lands study. See in partiodar the following
tnu'cels all of which which were considered as one cohesive tract for conversion analysis
purposes: pargels 6, 7 and 8 in Sector 1; parcels 14, 15 and 16 in Sector 2; parcels 33
and 34 in Sector 3; pm-eels 35 and 39 in Sector 3; parcels 41, 42 and 43 in Sector 4;
parcels 52, 53'and 54 in Sector 4; parcels 48 and 49 in Sector 4; parcels 65 and 66 in
Sector 5; parcels 63, 64 and A in Sector 5; and parcels B and C in Sector 5. In the
analysis of all .of these parcels, the beat light possible was given to whether or not it was
possible to uflize these smaller tracts, either together with contiguous tracts under the
same ownership or by amalganmting with other adjoining owners.
It is important to point out that the subject property is the only parcel in the city that was
split zoned, but still one tract. It is also important to note that aside from parcels 41, 42
and 43 in Sector 4, no other tracts in the city were contiguous to industrial lands as the
subject parcel is.

COUNCIL BILL NO. 1635
Exhibit "B", Page 5' of 23
WCP Article IX, C I requires thc city to maintain a sufficiently large enough industrial
land base to provide for industrial growth in the city to accommodate the residen~!
growth expected. The WCP projects the city's population in the year 2008 to be 18,000.
A recent Portland State study has indicated that the city will reach a popuhtion of 18,000
sometime in early 1999. By the year 2008, the city's residential popuhtion will be 20%
higher than pwjected. This data indicates that the demand and need for industrial land
will be even larger than the current average consumption of 55 acres per year.
Industrial parks are the preferred form of industrial growth in the city according to the
comprehensive plan. It is highly unusual to find an industrial park on less than 50 acres.
Most parks ~ well in excess of 100 acres. Excluding the applicant's property, the
largest currently designated industrial site in the city is only 17.95 acres in size. When
the 19.6 acre ..,)arcel is joined with its parent parcel, a cohesive tract of almost 88 acres
is left. This is large enough to accommodate a small to medium size industrial park.
It is customary for industrial parks to have one main access route through it, and the
presence of such internal road systems does not harm the park. On the contrary, good
internal access is a must. An industrial park by its very nature con~sts of several
unrelated industries joined together in one area; served by one access system; all on the
same public utilities; and each providing buffering and compatibility for the other. It is
not unusual for an industrial park to have different 'cells', or smaller compartments
within the overall park design. For purposes of the conversion lands study, as well as
here, the size requirement is a gross acreage number, including all of the 'celis' and
street systems necessary to serve the park users.
The total parksize that would be involved on the subject property is almost 88 acres.
This is large e, aough to allow for land loss for intm'nal roadways, buffer areas, unusable
comers and y~ to still allow a workable size industrial development. Consideration of
potential futu~ land loss is important on this site because of the on-going discussion
between the city and ODOT, and during the up-dating of the Woodbum Transportation
Plan, a potential transporlafion facility is being considered somewhere on or near the
subject property.
While this application itself is not concerned with what might happen with the
tmnslx~tion plan, since there Ere evidence and findings that this site can operate within
acceptable standards using only existing facilities, it is important to view potential
impacts that could result if a new transpo~fion facility was sited on this site. Some land
loss is inevitable if a transportation facility is built on this land. The amount of the loss,
and the impact thereof is best left up to the transportation planning process, as anything
here would be pure speculation. However, a few things are known at this time.
First of all, ff the existing over-pass facility is rebuilt and reconfigured, the impact on
the subject property would be very limited. Few if any acres would be lost, and the
contiguity of the site would be retained so that there would be essentially no design

limitations. If thc south by-pass configuration of the split diamond is selected, two
possible site locations have been discussed. One possible location is on thc tip of the
triangular portion of thc subject property. Another is approximately 800' north of thc
subject property, approximately bifurcating the applicant's parent parcel..
The 19.6 acre!subject property will contribute towards the city's industrial land needs
regardless of which by-pass alignment or location is ultimately selected.
The northern location creates two parcels 03 and 48 acres) that can be one integrated
industrial park of 81 acres, and when considering the HWI facility as ac/xmlly a part of
the industrial park complex, thc total acreage is well over one hundred. Thc size of thc
parcels on each side of the by-pass road allow for an intersec/ion to extend Woodland in
a southerly direction to provide access and to integrate thc parcels into one cohesive unit.
If the northern location were selected, thc Woodland tight of way would remove about
7 acres of land, leaving over 24 acres on the northwest side of the street, backing up to
HWI which is about that same size, w~ldng an integrated Uaet there for industrial use
of almost 50 acres net. In addition, 38.8 acres in an nice rectangular shape will remain
on the southeast side of thc street. Together. this park, with HWI as its anchor, would
be large enough to allow an industrial park, and the contemplated 'cell' sizes are large
enough to allow a small to medium size industrial use such as HWI, or to be partitioned
into smaller sized parcels ff the future need demanded it.
Thc southern location creates three parcels (6.4, 24.4 and 38.8 acres) that also can be
integrated into one industrial park of almost 70 acres, and when considering the HWI
faculty as a part of the industrial complex, the total acreage is approximately 98 acres.
Access can be provided to the 6.4 acre site by intersecting with the by-pass road along
the western edge of the site where it would match up with Woo~_land. The ~
irregular size of this tract is suitable for integration in the overall industrial park
complex, and is ideal as a small site for smaller indusUial m, yet is still se, r~ed with
the same public utilities and other sendces that are constructed for thc remainder of thc
Regardless of.where the south by-pass is constructed, the 'cell' sites left are very
suitable for m~my different kinds of industry that would typically cravitate toward an
industrial park setting. Even considering that Woo~_!and Avenue will bisect the remnant,
Woodland will simply act as the major route, and can be work~! into the design of the
In addition to industrial parks, which generally fulfill the need for smaller parcels, by
smaller industries, there is a need to provide for a diversity of available lands to attract
other larger industrial users. Most large industrial users will need a minimum of 50
act's, many will require even more acreage. The Target regional distribution warehouse
recently selected a site in Albany that is well over 100 acre~ in size. High tech finns,
many of whom have been recently sited in the Portland, Tigard, Bcaverton and Tualatin

15.
areas, routinely, require a minimum of 100 acres in order to be competitive. An example
of thc need for land in the high-tech industry is Siitec in Salem. This business originally
sited in the Salem Industrial Park on 18 acres. As the market grew, and after initi:~{
expansion, it had no room for further expansion on site. Siltec was then forced to
expand at a different location, where it recently purchased 50 acres outright and acquired
an option on another 25 acres. Even with a total of 93 acres, the company is at an
economic disadvantage because of the inefficiency in having two different operation
locations. In addition to the Siltec and Target examples, the Oregon Economic
Development Department provided a list of recent market activity (dated lViareh 27,
1995) showing nine other examples of industrial site acq,,i~ifion, the smallest of which
was the Siltec expansion. Other examples included 200 acres in FHllsboro for the Seaport
property; 80 acres in Salem for Westpac Industrial; two parcels in the Albany-
1Vfillersburg aYe. a, one for 105 acres and another for 110 acres; Corvallis 300 acres for
River Park S~uth; a 300 acre site in Lebanon for Tektronics; and three sites in
Springfield, 124 acres to lVlcKenziedOateway, 200 acres to WRlow Creek and 150 acres
to Green Hill.
Woodburn's own experience, both in actual development over the years, and its counter
inquiries is that minimum industrial park sizing must be at least 50 acres. This sizing
allows adequate parking, on/offloading, industrial security, buffering, storage, room for
expansion and a sufficient building envelope.
16.
The applicant has conducted three industrial lands studies of the Woodburn area. Thc
first is a study of existing available industrial land inside the UGB. The second is a
study of lands outside the UGB to determine where the best area for UGB expansion
might be. The final study was of all other lands inside the UOB to determine if any
other lands could or should be converted from other uses to industrial uses. These
studies confirm the city's belief that there is an extreme shortage of industrial lands now
existing in the city; that the West Woodbum area is the only viable location for
~on; and that no other areas already inside the UGB are suitable for conversion to
industrial use:Unless stated otherwise herein, the findings and conclusions contained in
those reports ~xe adopted by the city in total. -
V. Additional Findings and Conclusions
The following Additional Findings and Conclusions are hereby adopted by the city in
support and justification for its decision in this case.
A. COMPLIANCE WITH COMPREHENSIVB PLAN CRITERIA:
Sections 1 and 2 of Chapter xm of thc Woodbum Comprehensive Plan require that any
change thereof comply with the goals, polices and various elements of the comprehensive plan
that are applicable to the quasi-judicial application. This criteria encompasses Sections i and
2 of Article ~, and because of the similarities in issues, will be dealt with under one heading.
Page 7'- l~ndings and Conclusions (Davidson Farms, Inc.)
IOA
.COpNCIL BILL NO. 1635
Exhibit '"B", Page 8 of 23
1. Industrial Land Usc Policies:
Comprehensive Plan Article IX, Section C relates to industrial land usc policies in thc
City. Several of these policies arc directly applicable to this application.
Policy C-1 provides that thc City will maintain a sufficiently large enough industrial land
b~se to provide for industrial growth in the City to accommodate the residential growth
expected. PoUcy C-2' provides that industrial land should be located near areas where there is
easy access to major transportation mutes. Policy C-6 encourages the industrial park concept
as the most desirable,form of industrial development.
Each of these policies is satisfied by this application. As clearly indicated in thc
inventories of industrial land, the City is essentlnlly out of vacant available industrial lands.
While there arc a few smsll ~ isolated ~ sca~ throughout the City, there is no one
single large tract remaining (aside from the applicant's) for which an industrial park campus type
development is available.
Industrial developments want neat, clean packages. There are a tremendous number of
other communities, including Wilsonville, Tigard, Salem, Eugene and Medford that have large
inventories of industrial lands to compete with the City of Woodbum in obt~irdng new industrial
lands. Those communities offer incentives by way of reduced pricing, tax brealcs and waiver
of development fees in order to attract industry. Woodbum is unique in that its location allows
it to successfully com,.l e for businesses and industries without offering those hcentives.
It is imperali,~e that this City increase its base of industrial land in order to meet thc
needs of its growing population and to maintain a vital and healthy business community. This
application does that in a number of ways.
2. Annexation Policies:
This application includes a request for annexation of the 19.6 acre parcel. Annexation
Policy D-1 provides that it is important for thc City to have enough available vacant land to meet
the necessary development anticipated in the City. As a general rule, this policy requires a five
year supply of vacant land to meet the City's needs. Annexation should be done judiciously in
order to avoid inefficient sprawling development.
This application satisfies these very important land use policies. As indicated above, and
as demonstrated in the inventory analysis, the City currently does not have a five year supply
of vacant available industrial land. Therefore, the addition of this parcel, which will provide
for the more efficient use of the Davidson industrial park, directly meets the needs expressed
in the annexation pol~cy.

This application does not involve inefficient sprawl. Simply by looking at the map, one
can see that the addition of this triangular piece serves to 'square up' the boundary in this area.
Public services are already at the Davidson property)
3. public Service Goals and Policies:
This section of the comprehensive plan generally sets forth the goal of the City of
Woodburn to provide adequate public services to developable lands in the City. Public services
include sewer, water and storm drainage. See specifically goals H-I and policies H-l, H-5 and
H-6. These policies also provide that where possible, development should carry the brunt of the
cost of extension of these services.
As indicated previously, the applicant here was instrumental in bringing public services
to west Woodbum including bearing a significant portion of the cost thereof. Those public
facilities are now on the applicant's property making the 19.6 acre parcel fully served.
4. Tran _sportation Goals and Policies:
Section I of the Comprehensive Plan sets forth the transportation goals and policies of
the City of Woodburn. Several of these policies are directly applicable here.
It is the goal of the City of Woodburn to provide a safe, effective and efficient
transportation system that will accommodate tmffw at a level projected for the year 2000.
Unfortunately, given the unexpected rapid growth rate in the City, many of the general
projections in the Comprehensive Plan have become obsolete. Transportation planning is one
of the areas hardest hit.
Adding additional industrial land at this location will not adversely affect the level of
Waffic at Woodland and Highway 219, which is the sole access point for the subject property.
The city adopts the findings and conclusions of Mr. David G. Larson, traffic engineer, set forth
in his lett__~ of March 27, 199//, in which he concludes that the potential use of the subject
property for industrial use will satisfy the provisions of OAR 660-12-060(1)(a-c) and (20 (a-c),
and that the level of c, affic generated by the additional developments that might occur thereon
, even without any major traffic facility improvements in the area, still meets the requirements
of oAR
5. Cn'owth Goal:

COUNCIL BILL NO. 1635
Exhibit 'B", Page 10 of 23
According to Comprehensive Plan Goal J-l, it is the City's plan to grow to approximately
18,000 by the year 2008 and that such growth should be accompanied by the provision of
necessary public services. This application satisfies this goal.
10A
By providing additional industrial lands, jobs will be created so that the increase in
.l~opulation will have work close to home. By approving this application, 19.6 acres of industrial
land will be added to the City, and assuming a workable transportation plan is adopted, the
design capabilities of a 68-acre industrial park are preserved as well. This is the last large
industrial piece in th~ City. The City has hopes of attracting a campus-type industrial park
development, and th~,'s-is the only parcel in the City that can accommodate that type of
development.
An industrial base is needed to support the amount of population growth anticipated by
the comprehensive p~n. Therefore, it is absolutely imperative that thc City provide a sufficient
base of industrial land to provide jobs, and a business oriented tax base to ~ this community
There are no costs associated to the public with this application. As noted above, all
public services are already to the site. Public services were planned and built to serve the
Davidson large industrial parcel, and thc addition of this tract can be served by those existing
facilities.
6. Growth and Urb~ization Policies:
The Woodbur~ growth and urbani~tion policies are essen~y a summary of several
other City goals. These polities provide that growth should be allowed only in those areas
where there are public services, or where public services can be phased in pursuant to a master
plan, and funded either by the developer or by accumulated systems development changes. In
addition, since this application involves expansion of the urban growth boundary and annexation,
there is a coordination requirement with Marion County.
This application satisfies this goal. The subject property is part of a larger industrial tract
that is already served with all public services. Pursuant to the requirements of the
Intergovernmental Agreement, Marion County must review and sign-off on this application
before it becomes effective.
Conversion of the subject property from its current unproductive status to becoming an
industrial site makes good sense. This conversion process is at the very heart of this application.
Moving unproductive land of small size-and odd shape; without the commitment of public funds
or resources; and with the end product of removing a cloud from a 68-acre industrial park and
freeing up 19.6 acres of prime industrial land for a city that is in critical shortage of such lands
satisfies this policy a~!d provides a short term window of opportunity for the city to work on a
long term solution to the shortage of industrial lands in the City.
Page 10- l~ndings and Conclusions (Davidson Farms, Inc.)
COUNCIL BILL NO. 1635
Exhibit ."B", Page 11 of 23
Policy K-10 provides that the City strive to enhance the livability of the urban growth
area by promoting logical and orderly development within the UGB in a cost effective manner.
The minor readjustmoaat of the boundary involved herein does promote the logical and orderly
development of this community. The current location of the UGB zigzags back and forth along
the applicant's propef.'y without reason. By bisecting a single owner parcel, the current location
of thoUGB even violates the plan's directive that zone and plan boundaries follow property lines
ahd geographic boundaries. In this case, there is no geographic boundary to follow~ and the
boundary bisects a single owner parcel, all in violation of the Comprehensive Plan. This
application would correct that anomaly by squaring up the boundary and allowing it to follow
10A
7. P~blic Need:
There must be a finding of 'public need' . prior to the approval of any change in the
comprehensive plan. Public need is detenuined using an 'inventory based' method of study and
determination. This detenuination doesu't mean "public" versus "private" need, as the private
owners desire to convert a single owned piece of property may very well satisfy the 'public'
need under this defm;,tion.
%
In this determination, the community as a whole must be looked at to see if there is a
'public need'. W/th/n the UGB, two questions must be answered. The first is "What is the
current inventory of industrial lands in the City'/' A parcel by parcel analysis must be done to
determine how much vacant industrial land is available in the City; what sizes the parcel are;
and where they are located. This data must then be compared against current market trends
which establish demand for existing industrial land, and the need for more industrial land into
the future through the planning period.4
The industrial lands inventory for the City of Woodbum shows very few acres of
available industrial land remnin. With appwximately 13 years left for growth within the
planning period, the current industrial land base is clearly not sufficient to meet demand.
Industrial land has been gobbled up in _this City much faster than what was o 'nginally anticipated.
The reason foi this surge in demand for land throughout the City of Woodburn is the
population explosion that has occurred, outstripping all projections contained in the
comprehensive plan. '~ recent population survey was conducted by the Portlnnd State Population
Reseat~ Center. Tl).h study shows a current pop,_d_n_tion of 15,232, up from the 1990 census
population of 14,055, and almost at the projected population for the entire comprehensive plan
3Such as a river, creek, canyon, hill or bluff.
4The Woodbum Comprehensive Plan is intended to provide the land use planning guideline for this
C~mmulli~y thl'ough ~1~ year 2008. See Page 1, Woodbum Comprehensive Plan.
Page 11 - l~ndings and Conclusions (Davidson Farms, Inc.)
. CQUNCIL BILL NO. 1635
Exhibit "B", Page 12 of 23
period (2008). In other words, Woodbum's population has grown faster than anyone projected, 1 0A
and the comprehensive plan has not kept pace by providing needed lands to satisfy this growth.
One of the primary problems of the existing inventory of industrial lands in the City of
Woodburn is the lack of any large tract parcels. The industrial land base inventory shows the
largest available parcel, excluding the applicant's is only 17.95 acres in size, and the average
size of available parcels is just over 6 acres. Of the 17 awilable parcels, 6 are 3 acres or under;
6 are over 3 but under 10 acres; and the other five are between 10 and 18 acres in size.
This small tra-~t availability limits the types of industrial uses that can site in the City of
Woodbum. Many industrial uses require.well in excess of 20 acres of contiguous land for plant,
parking, storage and necessary setback and buffer areas. Currently in the City of Woodburn,
no industry of this magnitude can site because there simply is not an available parcel to build
on.
As previously mentioned, the remnant Davidson Farms parcel is available, however as
soon as a potential ir~dustrial user looks at the map and sees the property cut in two by the
current potential location of the south bypass, and the uncertainty that causes-the pwperty by
way of potentlnl future use restrictions and limited size availability, the developers refuse to
consider the parcel further. This decision to look elsewhere is completely understand_~ble.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars will be spent on a property for public improvements such as
streets, and site improvements, and it is imperative to a developer that there are no future
uncertainties. Adding the 19.6 acres will give flexibility in siting a transportation improvement
while still leaving a sufficiently large industrial parcel.
Davidson Farms constructed the Woodland Avenue extension at its sole expense, among
the many other finan~ contributions it has made to the west Woodbum infrastructure. The
highest and best use for the Davidson Farms property is undoubtedly for a campus-type
industrial park development. By market standards, a campus-type industrial park requires a
minimum of 50 acres to be economkmlly and practically feasible. There are no areas left in the
City which are large, enough to accommodate this type of industrial park except the Davidson
Farms parcel.
In discussion with DLCD staff, it was requested that additional information be generated
as to whether or not non-industrials areas inside the UGB could be converted to industrial use.
The applicant undeilook this study, and its findings again confirmed the belief that no other area
in the city is suitable for conversion from some other use to industrial uses.
To determine whether any property not currently zoned for induslrial use may be rezoned
to alleviate the shortage of industrial lands within the UGB, a working definition of 'industrial
~ applicant's ~ study included only an analysis of lands that were designated for industrial use
inside the Woodburn UG~t, nnd did not review any other category of lands. .
Page 12 - Findings and Conclusions (Davidson Farms, Inc.)

lands' was necessary. Thc applicant in conjunction with staff, consultants and other
professionals developed a definition of what qualifies and characteristics were necessary in a
piece of prope~y to m~ it suitable for conversion to industrial lands.
10A
The elements involved in siting industrial land that were considered as a part of this
~lefmition, in summary form include the following:
Size - Thc size of a parcel, or contiguous parcels under one ownership or able to
be amalgamated, should be 50 ~ or greater.
be
Shape - Thc shape of a parcel, or area, must be generally square or rectangular,
or be partitioned into such a shape, or be large enough to provide an appropriate
size square or rectangular area upon which to site the industrial developmenC
Ce
Environmental Concerns - There must be no environmental limitations on the site
that would inhibit development. Particularly of concern are floodplains, fill
areas, wet]ands, slide areas, and hazardous material sites.
Topography - The area must be generally fiat, with no abrupt features, and no
need for significant cuts or fills in order to be developed.
:.
Acces~als only - Access to the industrial area must be well oriented to
major transportation mutes, without the need to ufliTe local, residential or
collector streets for either business, truck or employee traffic. The only two
major arterials for this area are Io5 and 99W.
f.
,~c~ss/Perimeter only - Access to thc site should be on thc perimeter of the area,
leaving the entire area as one contiguous developable tract. Cross streets through
the parcel are to be avoided, unless the through street is an arterial with sufficient
ability for improvement, and which can be integrated into a workable industrial
facility design.
Location - The location of an industrial area should be such that it is reasonably
compatible with its surroundings, and with neighboring uses. Industrial land shall
not abut single family residential areas, dedicated parks or schools. Industrial
lands ..~ould be buffered by area separation, natural vegetation or landscaping.
Where. possible, industrial uses should be separated from residential areas,
dedicated parks and schools by commerdal uses or an area of mixed uses (which
could be a mixture of high density residential and commercial uses).
Po{~lic Services: - An industrial area must either have all public services already
in place, or otherwise be readily available. Public services in this context include
sewer, storm drain, water, electricity, natural gas and telephone. All services
must be sized to accommodate industrial use in order to qualify for availability.
Page 13 - l~ndings and Conclusions (Davidson Farms, Inc.)
· COUNCIL BILL NO. 1635
Exhibit "B", Page 14 of 23
Using these elements, a working definition was developed that could be applied to parcels inside '[ OA
the UGB to determine if lands not currently designated for industrial use could be converted to
industrial use, thereby avoiding the need to expand the UGB at this time. This definition, which
the City hereby adopts and endorses, is as follows:
'Industrial lands are lands that are of su2flcient size and shape to allow siting of
a variety of industrial type uses. These lands need to either already be served by
public services, or are lands which can be economically ~erviced. To be
considered for industrial use, lands must not have ~i~ developmental
limitations such as topography, presence of floodplains, slide areas or fill
material. Industrial lands should be situated in such a way as to allow maximum
ease in access to major transportation mutes, but avoid the impacts on local,
collector and arterial streets. Industrial lands should be sited, to the extent
possible, mvay from residential and public uses, and $hould be clustered in
cohesive groups on the fringe areas of the community. When it is necessary, the
industrial use should be significantly buffered from residential and public areas
by intervening .transition uses such as commercial or mixed use areas.'
This definition was then applied to every area and vacant or underdeveloped parcel inside
the UGB regardless of its current plan designation. The result of that study, which the City
endorses and adopts as its own, is that there are no lands that can be converted to industrial
lands. Even considering discretionary allowances to certain parts of the definition for
conversion, the best that can be accomplished would be to meet the very short term needs of the
City (through perhaps the year 2000), and only then with lands that have significant drawbacks
to their use for industrial purposes, and this is assuming that the owners of those parcels would
allow conversion, and that neighborhood opposition, or any one of a number of other problems
did not stop the conversion.
In summary, ',here is a desperate need for additional industrial lands in the City of
Woodbum. Not only, is there a shortage of lands period, but there is also a shortage of large
size parcels suitable to accommodate a vafi~ of indusUies. If the City of Woodburn were to
'stand pat", more than half of the industries looking for new locations would be precluded from
coming to Woodburn simply because there wasn't either enough land or a single tract large
enough to accommodate them. This is what creates a true land use 'public need" for an
application of this so~ that not only adds industrial land to the inventory, but frees up existing
industrial land so that it can be used for its intended purpose.
8. This Land Best Suits The Public Need:
Land proposed to be added to the inventory must be considered the land best suited to
meet the public need found in the above-referenced criteria. Based on all of the inventory data
presented in this case, the subject property satisfies this criteria.

The Davidson Farms parcel is not only the best suited parcel to meet the need for
industrial development in thc land base, but it is also the only parcel that is part of a larger
contiguous parcel of industrial land that can be used to fulfill a variety of industrial type needs.
10A
Here, no productive farm land is lost, thc Comprehensive Plan is satisfied by realigning
its boundaries to follow property boundaries and a large chunk of industrial land which has
heretofore not been ptactic~y available to satisfy market demand for industrial land now can
fulfill its intended purpose. No other parcel inside the existing urban growth boundary, or
around the perimeter"'of the boundary can best fulfill the current need for industrial lands like
the present 19.6 acre triangular parcel can.
9. Th~ Land Cannot Be Suitably Used As Is:
The last criteria that must be addressed in any change to the Comprehensive Plan is a
determination that the land being brought inside the urban growth boundary cannot be reasonably
or suitably used as it is presently designated.
The subject property is designated primary agriculture and is zoned exclusive farm use.
This plan designation and zone is intended primaffiy for commercial farming operations on good
quality soil. The subject property is not productive farmland nor can it be made so. The parcel
is small in size. It is~triangularly shaped making it very difficult for farm equipment to work
the land. A drainage ditch~ traverses the entire length of the property as does a major
transmission line and'the footprint of a transmi.zsion tower.
The only access to the parcel is from Highway 214 through the Woodland Avenue
extension by HWI and through the existing industrial zoned remnant parcel of the applicant.
The parcel has only been commercially farmed in a limited way, and currently will only handle
a cover crop that is placed on the property simply to lazp the weeds down. It is impossible to
imagine a circumstance where the subject property could be used as a commercial farming unit,
whether standing alone or if it were possible to integrate with other larger farming uniLs in the
B. COMPLIANCE WITH ZONE CODE CRITERIA:
In addition to the approval criteria stated in the comprehensive plan, §16.080(a) of the
Woodbum Zone Co~ requires either a finding that the o 'nginal plan was in error, or that the
community has chan§ed since the original plan was adopted.
6since the ditch k. not considered to be jurisdictional wetlands, it may be piped or filed or diverted to allow
maximum use of the property for industrial use.
7This is not pos~ble ss was previously discussed.

.COUNCIL BILL NO. 1635
Exfi,~b~t #B', Page 16 of 23
Both of these ~temativc criteria are satisfied by this application. An error did occur
when the UGB was ~-awn in a zig-zag fashion along its western border leaving out this 19.6
acre triangle that had always before been a part of its single tract. Given the plan policy to
follow property lines,, it must be assumed that an error or mistake was made..
IOA
In addition, file Woodburn community has changed significantly since the UGB was
originally drawn in the early 1980's. In thc last 14 years, thc growth Woodburn has experienced
is far greater than either the 1981 or 1989 projections. This rapid growth has outstripped the
City's ability to provide commercial and industrial areas to meet current need, let alone through
the planning period in year 2008.
C. COMPLIANCE WITH STATEWIDE GOALS AND GUIDELINES:
This section of the compliance statement is divided into two component parts. The first
part addresses the ex-:eption process; and the second part addresses geaeral goal compliance.
1. Exception Proces~ Generally:
The subject property is currently designated and zoned for agriculture use under Goal 3.
The land contains soil with class IV or better capability, notwithstanding thc practical physical
Umitations to its farmability, mad is therefore subject to resource goal treatment.
The exceptions process is found in statewide goal 2 and has beea promulgated into rule
form in Oregon Administrative Rule 660-(M-0~ et ~1- There are three type~ of exceptions.
The first is based on the concept of the physical development of the property; the second is
based on the irrevocably committed nature of the site; and finally, the third rests upon there
being adequate reasons for a change in the use of the property.
After careful analysis of all three exceptions, the City conclude~ that all three actually
apply, but that the most appropriate exception in this case would be the 'reasons" justification.
The development of the drainage ditch and transmission tower justify a physically
developed exception.~ Also, the subject property is a part of a larger tract under the same
ownership. This larg,.x tract has been developed to a large degree. Significant funds have been
expeaded building ar access road to thc propcr~ s and in extending sewer and water to the
property. In addition'~ the HWI facility has now been fully constructed on the northwest corner
of the remnant parcel. AH of these factors irrevocably commit, the subject parcel to urban type
dcveiopmcnt.
The 'reasons' exception, however, may be thc best suited procedure for the facts of this
case so it will be explored in more de~a;! here.
SThis is the Woodland Exteasion which intersects Highway 219.

· COUNCIL BJLL NU. 1635
Exhibit "B", Page 17 of 23
IOA
An exception need only be taken to the resource goal. No other of the goals are being
deviated from, therefore, no addiOonal exceptions must be taken.
2. Reasons Exception:
The reasons exception is con_mined in OAR 660-04-020. There are four factors which
hi, st be considered when taking an exception to a resouxce goal. These factors are generally'
referred to as the "reasons'; the other at'ca justification; the long term environmental impacts;
and fio~ally, compatibility. ~h factor is discussed separa~y below.
8..
~- Reasons must be shown to justify why the resource goat should not
apply to the subject propca~. OAR 660-(M-4)2(~)(a). The reasons exception is
often x~ferred to as the 'needs' exception because generally, the City must show
that there is a demonstrated need for a project, based on one or more of the
statewi~e goals; and that the project has a uniqueness or a special quality or
feature about it that requires it to be located on the proposed exception site. OAR
66O-O44220).
In this case, the reasons for bringing the subject property into the boundary are
to correct the mistake of having a single unit ownership split zoned when there
is no geographic or other logical reason for the division. In addition, it is the
best property now available to meet a portion of the severe demand for industrial
land in the City. Finally, this parcel's inclusion will provide additional
development acreage to the applicant's remnant parcel which will give it greater
ability to satisfy the need for a large single unit tract which could be developed
be
Other ~,a Justification - Under this criteria, the City must demonstrate that other
areas ~ithin the City of Woodbum (which do not require a new exception) cannot
reasonably accommodate the proposed use. The conversion lands study
referenced above addresses this criteria in det~__ i!, and for sa~ of brevity will not
Environmental Immcts - The third factor of this analysis requires that the long
term economic, soc~ environmental and energy consequences resulting from the
use of ~is land for industrial purpoaea are not ~gnificantly more adverae than
would typically result from the industrial use being located in some other area
also requiring a goal exception.
The ~jeet parcel is part of a larger tract owned by the applicant that lies
immediately, to thc nor~. This larger tract is within tho UOB and is zoned IL,
light i~dustrial. The land is generally flat; however, a drainage ditch traverses
a portion of the property in a north-south direction. The subject parcel is
Page 17- lffndings and Conclusions (Davidson Farms, Inc.)
· CO.UNCIL BILL NO. 1635
Exhibit "B", Page 18 of 23
currently outside of the UOB, even though it is part of a larger industrial tract
that is inside the UGB.
Gener',.lly, an exception involves productive land being irrevocably removed from
its ag~cultural potential. Here there is no agricultural potential, so the
conversion of this land is ideal, as it lessens the impact an exception would
otherwise have in decreasing the agricultural inventory base of the county.
Because of the unusual shape of the property, a good share of its land mass will
be used for parking or outside storage. Both of these types of uses are rehtively
benign from an environmental impact standpoint. Also because of the small size,
the primary industrial use will undoubtedly be in conjunction with adjoining lands
to the north (which already are designated for industrial uses). Given today's
technology, and the types of uses allowable in the IL zone to be applied to the
subject property, there will be no adverse long term environmental impacts from
the inclusion of this land inside the UGB.
de
~ - Finally, the applicant must show that the industrial use will be
compatible with other adjacent uses, or ff it is not compatible, that it can be made
compatible through measures incorporated into the facility design which would
reduce those impacts.
The proposed industrial use of this property will be compatible with the
surrounding area. Thc surrounding area includes the applicant's larger tract
zoned light industrial, Interstate 5, HWI, and some agricultural uses. All of these
uses are customarily found in and around freeway interchanges, and have
tcaditionally been compatible. In this ea~, the HWI facility has been in place
next to the agricultural uses for severn1 years without problem or complaint from
e~ther side. Considering there will be proper set backs and buffering at the time
of site plan appwval for any industrial use being constructed on the site,
compatibility can be guaranteed.
It is also important to note that access to the interchange vfill be restricted. The
future industrial devdopment of the applicant's larger tract will have access only
to Woodland Drive and not to the freeway, Highway 219 or to any new
transp~.;.rtafion facilities that might be constructed. As noted earlier, traffic
engineers have already concluded that this approval will not adversely affect the
flow of traffic on Highway 219.
3. ~9~npliance:
Goals 1-3 are addressed within the context of the exceptions statement set' forth above.
Compliance with the remainder of the applicable goals is discussed as follows:
Page 18 - Findings and Conclusions (Davidson Farms, Inc.)
COUNCIL
E~hibit
BILL NO. 1635
#B', Page 19 of 23
Goal 4 - ~ - Thc property is designated as Agriculture by the Marion County
Comprehensive Plan Map. There are no forest uses occurring on the property or in the area.
Further, the soils on the property do not have a forest lands capacity for the growing of
commercial timber. The property is not forest land and therefore this Goal is not applicable,
or is otherwise excepted based on the reasons for the Goal 3 exception.
Goal 5 - _Open ~_aces. scenic and historic areas and natural resources - There are no
identified open Raaco, scenic, historic or natural resource areas identified on or near the subject
property, therefore development of the subject property will not adversely affect or impact such
areu. The subject property has no identified historic or cultural significance to it, nor are there
any energy resourcea; or aggregate resources or fish and wildlife habitats. There is nothing
ecologically or scientifically significant about thc property which would require it to remain in
open space.
Goal 6 - Air. 'rPt~ and land resources quality_ - Goal 6 strives to m~intain and improve
the quality of the air;.water and land reso~ in the state of Oregon. This proposed project
does not disturb or create problems with the environmental quality of the Slate. This application
has no real impact on the air, water and land reso~. The location near the freeway creates
a perfect setting for industrial use. Through thc site planning process the city can be assured
that when an industrial development does occur on the site, it will be clean and adequately
protective of the surrounding environment. In fact the comprehensive plan, as well as the list
of allowable uses in the IL zone will limited the types of industries that can be sited to only
those deemed to be 'clean'.
IOA
Coal 7 - Arms subject to natural di~ste~ and hazards - ~ 7 ~ to protect life and
property from natural disasters and hazards. There are no identified natural disa~t~'~ or ba~rds
on the subject propc~. The subject pwperty h not located in an identified landslide or
earthquake zone. NO~e of the property is located within an identified flood pl:aln.
Goal 8 - ]Recreational needs - This goal was created to insure that thc recreational needs
of the people were ta~e.n care of in the siting of necessary recreational facilities. This pwject
does not involve the siting of any recreational fadlities, nor does it involve the removal of any
land that could be used for recreational purposes.
Goal 9 - Economy of the state - Goal 9 strives to diversify and improve the economy of
the state. This proposal does diversify and impwve the economy of northern Marion County.
The inclusion of this land inside the UGB will improve the economy of the greater Woodbum
area by allowing industrial development to catch up with the population growth of the city, and
to provide jobs for the residents of this community. The new industries will consume local
goods and services and will contribute a hefty sum in new taxes, all of which help the state
regional and local economies. Currently the HWI development on the Davidson parcel adds
more than $200,000 annually to the City of Woodbum coffers through property taxes alone.

Goal 10 - Housing - The housing goal is meant to provide for thc housing needs of the 10A
citizens of the state of Oregon. This project does not involve thc siting of any residential
facilities, nor does it remove any land that could be used for the construction of residential
housing of any significant level for the community of Woodbum.
Goal 11 - Pu*Jlic facilities and services - This goal is meant to provide a plan for
~evelopment of prolx':ty in a timely, orderly and efficient arrangement of public facilities and
services for urban and rural development. The applicant's proposal complies with this goal in
that no new public facilities or services will be necessary, nor will any additional pressure for
public facilities be cr~.~ by _this project. Davidson Farms has contributed significantly to the
placement of infrastructure on the property ahead of development.
Goal 12 - ~ - This goal is meant to provide and encourage the safe,
convenient and economical ~rtation system within the state of Oregon. This project meets
and complies with this goal. There will be no adverse traffic impact associated with this
approval.
As indicated earlier, this application is being justified on thc basis of thc need for
additional industrial lands, and not as a precursor to the Transportation Plan. Nor this reason
thc provisions of OAR 660-12-070 are not necessary to address here. However, in discussion
with both DLCD and. ODOT, it was concluded that OAR 660-12-060 needed to be addressed.
This rule relates to ar/-,eadments to comprehensive plans that significantly affect a transportation
facility. This is not ~he case here.
Even when reviewing this application without reference to the new by-pass, OAR 660-12-
060 is not applicable. Reference is made to OAR 660-12-060(2) wherein the application of
subsection (1) thereo,~ is defined. Applying the criteria of subsection (2), this application will
not 'significantly affect a transportation facility'.
The city received a report from the applicant's traffic engineer, in which the city concurs,
that this 19.6 aores will generate total daily traffic of 2, 456 VPD, of which PM peak would be
274 total trips, 217 exit and 57 enter. Of this traffic, 90% will turn east and disburse, with 7%
going north on I-5, 18% going south on I-5 and the remaining 65% going east on Highway 214.
The final 10% will go west on Highway 219. This level of traffic will result in LOS 'D' at
both ramp terminals and at the Woodland/219 intersection. LOS 'D' is an acceptable level of
service. This is achieved with no major improvements to the interchange. It is projected that
level of service will ~crease to LOS 'C' once improvements to the interchange occur.
Based on this.study, and the opinion of the traffic engineer, the City concludes that
adding this additional land to thc industrial land base will not significantly affect a transportation
facility, and OAR 66Q-, 12'060(1) is not applicable.

This information confirms prior information received by the City from its own Iraffic
engineeaing consulta~,?9 who indicated in Teelmieal Memorandum //4 to the Woodbum
Transportation System Plan that through the year 2015 in thc area west of I-5, which is thc area
involved here, that there is sufficient capacity to handle all growth without necessity of any
interchange improvements.
10A
':' Additional concerns were expressed about,the premature nature of this application as it
relates to thc siting of the south by-pass location. It is the city's position that this appUeafion
stands on its merits as an increase in much needed induslxial land base for thc city, and does not
prejudge or otherwise commit the City to a particular choice of any transportation alternative
whatsoever, let alone any specific siting location. It is underatcgxt that this action will in no way
affect thc on-going transportation planning process. In order to assure all parties of this fact,
the City will place a condition on this approval that prohibits issuance of any building permit on
the subject property until after the transportation planning process is completed as to the I-
5fltighway 214219 fraffic issues.
Goal 13 - Enel~] Conservation - The purpose of this goal is to conserve energy in the
slate of Oregon. TIM proposal does not involve thc expenditure of any energy resources
whatsoever and, therefore, complies with the goal. The subject property is not located on any
sources of geothermal or other energy resources so that the u 'tflizafion of the property for
industrial uses would not deprive the citizens of the state of Oregon of any energy resources.
Goal 14 - Urbanization - This goal is meant to provide for an orderly and efficient
transition from rural to urban land uses. This project complies with this goal. The urbanization
goal is directly related to the establishment and changing of urban growth boundaries within the
Slate of Oregon. This proposed use involves changing the Woodbum UGB by adding the
subject property to the UGB. This goal requires an analysis of seven 'establishment factors' in
order to justify the amendment of an UGB. These factor's are generally referred to as the
'needs' and 'location.' factors.
There :is a demonstrated need. for this change - The demonstrated need for
additional industrial land has already been identified, and will not be ~I~ated
here.
e
!
There is a need for employment op_~ortunities and livability - This application will
retain 4. large industrial tract as a single unit, and will assist in making the entire
tract developable for industrial uses. Once industrial uses are in place, jobs and
spin-off economies will assist in $tabilizi~lg the economy of the area. The
secondary effect that this request will bring is increased livability to the citizens
of Woodbum. Close to home jobs mean lesser commutes and a be.Z~r liveability
situation. Greater job opportunities mean a greater number of jobs available as
sI~ttelson & Associates, Inc.

e
COUNCIL BILL NO. 1635
Exhibit 'B',. Page 22 of 23
well as a larger variety of types of jobs. This situation improves thc liveability
of the community as young families can select Woodbum as their home, and be
assured their will always be good quality jobs available there for them to support
themselves.
IOA
This request is an orderly and economic provision for a public facility_ - The
request does not require any public services, as sewer, water, storm drains and
a new street are all already in place servicing the subject property.
This rea-u~t maximizes thc efficiency of land uses within the UGB - One of thc
primary reasons this request is being made is to increase the amount of industrial
land presently inside the Woodbum UGB, and to allow the maximum efficiency
from the.lands that are already inside the boundary.
Environmental. Social. Economic & Energy_ Consequences - This factor requires
the consideration of ESg~ consequences of designating the property for urban
Thc environmental consequences of designating this property as urban are
nonexistent. The site is not within a wildlife habitat area, nor within a flood
plain area, nor designated as prime agricultural soils, nor designated as a
jurisdictional wetland. There would be some impact to the area during
construction of the industrial use, but with the requirements of the zone code for
site plan. review, buffer and other environmental safeguards will be built in.
Socially, the enhancement of the city's industrial land base and the jobs and
econon'dc diversity and improvement that would stem from that will be a
significant positive impact on the social fabric of the community.
Rete.,ntion of _agricultural land - This factor requires a local jurisdiction to consider
thc retention of agricultural land when changing the UGB. Class I soils are to
receive the highest priority of retention and Class VI receiving tho lowest
priority. The soils on the subject parcel are divided in half, with 50% of the land
classified as Dayton soil, Class IVw, and the other 50% classified as Woodbum
soils, Class IIw.
This proposal involves miring a small, irregular shaped, isohted, non-productive
rural parcel and turns it into a highly productive urban parcel. The property has
seen limited commercial farming in the past, primarily due to the drainage ditch
that bisects the property in half and its triangular shape.
From a resource standpoint, this small and relatively unusable 'resource' site is
much beaex suited for industrial use than any other parcel because of its unique
characteristics.

'COUNCIL BILL NO. 1635
E~hibit UB', Page 23 of 23
Compatibility_ of proposed use with nearby rural uses - The compatibility of the 10A
proposed use with the nearby rural uses to the west has already been addressed
earlier in the reasons component of this statement and will not be repeated here.
Based on these seven factors and considerations, this application satisfies the mandates of Goal
14.
Goal 15 - Willamette Greeuway - The property lies outside of the Willamette River
Greenway and, therefore the mandates of this goal do not apply.
Goals 16 - 19 - ~ - The subject property does not contain any estuarine
resources, is not on the coastal shorelands, does not contain any beaches or dunes or ocean
resources and, therefore the mandates of goals 16 - 19 do not apply.
VI. Ultimate Conclusions of Law
Based on all ot~ thc evidence in this record, none of which was ever contradicted, and the
findings of fact; addi0.'..onal findings and conclusions rendered herein, the City of Woodbum does
hereby conclude that ~ a matter of law the applicant has met its burden of proof on each and
every approval criteria, and that thc following actions are approved:
1. The UGB of the City of Woodburn is amended to include the 19.6 acres currently
owned by the applicant; and

1639
Residential Goals and Policies:
A-1
The concept that a development should be designed as a neighborhood is one basis
of this project. The layout has been completed with short blocks, loop streets and
good circulation of pedestrian ways to develop the feeling of a closed
neighborhood.
A-2
This subdivision will be developed in full compliance of the City of Woodburn zone
code, subdivision and park standards, The use of CC&R's will help to insure the
development will be maintained in a way that is consistent with standards that are
in effect at this time along with those established by the developer.
A-3 This project is designed to achieve a moderate density of 4.2 lots per acre. This
densiW will meet the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
A-4
The development pattern for this project, has been designed to direct the flow of
traffic from the project out to the two major streets in the area, Country Club and
Boones Ferry Roads.
A-5
This project design was prepared with the consideration of the efficient use of the
land and to limit the ability of high speed traffic. Frequent intersections in the block
configuration will limit traffic movement and allow for slow traffic speeds.
A-6 There are no nonconforming uses within this development, the CC&R's discourage
the development of "non-residential" uses within the project.
A-8
At this time there are no high traffic generating non-residential uses in the area of
this project that will increase traffic flows on the residential streets in this
development.
Conclusion:
The applicant's proposal is in conformance with the residential policies as identified
in the Comprehensive Plan.
Transportation Goals & Policies:
Goal I-1
The project takes into account the need to protect the ability of the q;;ollector streets
to move the traffic within the area. Lots that abut these streets will not have direct
access to them.
Goal I-2
The development has 'been prepared with an internal street system where access
to Country Club and Boones Ferry Roads is readily accessible withoUt having to
meander through residential areas. The street pattern is also one that will promote

Exhibit 'B"
Page 3 of 3
the use of alternative modes of transportation within the development.
1639
lOB
Goal I-3

movement of bicycle and pedestrian traffic to the two collector streets.
Goal I-5
The conditions of approval for this project will include the improvement of the
boundary streets to the extent that improvements made will allow for the easier
movement of bikes and pedestrians along both Country Club and Boones Ferry
Roads.
Goal I-6 The internal street system will meet the intent of this goal.
Conclusion:
The subdivision design meets all street and subdivision standards.
Growth and Urbanization Policies:

RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached Council Bill which authorizes
a new agreement with the International City Manager's Association
(ICMA) Retirement Corporation for the City's 401(A) Money Purchase
Plan and Trust.
BACKGROUND: In July 1991, the Council passed Resolution No. 1071
establishing the 401(A) Money Purchase Plan and Trust which
provided for a defined contribution retirement benefit for Non-
Union Management employees who elect to be covered under this type
of program rather than the City's defined benefit program through
Pacific Mutual Life Insurance.
In October 1993, we were advisedbyICMAthat changes in the 401(A)
Money Purchase Plan and Trust were necessary in order to keep the
Plan in compliance with federal regulations and maintainthe "pre-
tax" status of the Plan. ICMARetirement Corporation has submitted
and received a favorable opinion fromthe Internal Revenue Service
on the Plan, however, Council adoption of the plan amendments is
necessary to bring us into full compliance. It should be noted
that the agreement, as amended, continuesthe same vesting schedule
and contribution level which was originally adopted in 1991.

RE:
Fourth of July Celebration Requests
1. Insurance Coverage
2. Sound Amplification
For the past two years I have been looking for a club/organization to take over the
Fund raising for the Games, Fireworks and associated costs. I have been in contact
with the Woodburn Kiwanis Club (Noon club). The have agreed to take on this task.
After an audit of the current Fireworks account, remaining monies will be transferred
to their account.
Even though the Kiwanis Club will do the fund raising and maintain the Fireworks
account, I am requesting the City to continue to provide Liability Insurance for the
Games and Fireworks display along with workers Compensation Coverage. The
Kiwanis Club will pay the fee for the Workers Compensation Coverage as required.
By 'providing insurance coverage, this will promulgate the cities dedication to a truly
"CITY WIDE EVENT".
As General Chairman and Coordinator of the 4th of July Celebration I am requesting
City Liability Insurance coverage for two (2) activities on the 4th of July, 1995. The
events include the "Fifth Annual Old Fashion 4th of July Picnic with fun, games and
then the fireworks show. All events will again be held at the Woodburn High School
starting about 10:OO am and will conclude around 11 :O0 pm.
The other insurance Coverage necessary for this and future years is Workers
Compensation Insurance for those actually involved in the Fireworks set up and
lighting of fireworks. I have contacted Mary Tennant who will contact the city
insurance carrier for this coverage. For 8-10 individuals, the cost is approximately
$50.00. The 4th Committee through the Kiwanis Club will pay/reimburse this'.fee to
the city if this request is granted.
1OD
We are also requesting permission for the use of amplifying devices for the days
activities for the games, the race and music. Attached is a tentative schedule of
events for the 4th for your review.' Our fund goal for this year is $7,000. Fireworks
alone cost $5,000.
Thank you for you consideration in this matter and if possible please plan on attending
this event as it is truly a community celebration. If you wish to volunteer to help with
this great event, please contact myself of Vee Ott.

NO PARKING Request along Country Club Road, Rainier Road and Oregon
Way (portions of the Realignment Project)
DATE: June 8, 1995
I~ECO~ENDATION:
It is recommended approval be given to install NO PARKING signs along Country Club Road,
Rainier Road and Oregon Way in the area of the new realignment (as shown on the attached map).
BACKGROUND:
Concerns have been expressed regarding vehicles parking in the area of the new realignment on
Country Club Road near Hwy. 214. The roadway has recently been widened to 39 feet to allow for
two lanes of traffic and a center continuous lef~ turn lane with no allowance for on street parking.
These lanes are provided for easier vehicular movement and stacking distance for the traffic signal
located at Hwy. 214.
The Transportation and Traffic Engineering Handbook states that parked vehicles in the vicinity of
a signalized intersection reduces the space available for traffic movement and as a result decreases
the carrying capacity of the intersection.
Therefore, it is recommended that NO PARKING signs be installed on Country Club Road, Rainier
Road and Oregon Way as shown on the attached map. This will increase safety on the roadway and
carrying capacity of the intersection.

New RSVP Program Coordinator
June 8, 1995
SUBJ.:
DATE:
This is to advise the Council that Colleen J. Reed has been hired as our new
RSVP program Coordinator. Ms. Reed's first day with the City will be Monday, June
12, 1995.
Ms. Reed is a graduate of Humboldt State University with dual degrees in
English and Spanish, studied at Cai State/Sacramento for a secondary education
teaching credential, and has completed a Long-Term Health Care Administration post-
Baccalaureate program at SW Texas State University. She was most recently
employed by Meridian Park Hospital in Tualatin.
Ms. Reed made a very positive impression on everyone involved in the
recruitment/interview process. Any proposed appointment to this position must also
be approved by the federal ACTION agency and, in that regard, Ms. Reed 'passed
with flying colors". We look forward to having Colleen Reed as part of the City
organization and being able to apply her energies to the benefit of this valuable
program.
As we make this transition, I also want to acknowledge the contribution made
to the RSVP program made by Chris Breshears, who has served as Interim Coordinator
for the past two months. Chris has very ably and professionally kept the program on
track and paved the way for a smooth transition to the leadership of our new
Coordinator.

Status Report - TIF Task Force
June 8, 1995
Council will recall authorizing the City Administrator to assemble a "task force"
to review our Transportation Impact Fees (TIFs) and System Development Charges
(SDCs) as they pertain to the Downtown Historic District. The Task Force has had
several productive and informative meetings, and anticipates perhaps one or two more
sessions prior to making a recommendation back to the Council.
The group did not meet during the month of May in deference to a request by
representatives of the Woodburn Downtown Association to allow the association to
discuss the issue and perhaps provide input to the Task Force. To date, we have not
heard back from that group.
Task Force members include Dick Pugh (City Council), James Atkinson
(Planning Commission), Terry Will (Budget Committee), Brent Reddaway (Downtown
Assoc.) and Jose Castro (Downtown Assoc.). Staff support has been provided by the
Community Development Director, Public Works Director and City Administrator.

TREE DONATION AND PLANTING PROJECT
JUNE 8t 1995
The Community Development Department has recently been notified by
Portland General Electric oft he availability of a number of trees
that will be donated to the City. This is in response to the
Planning Departments efforts to acquire grant money from the
Department of Forestry. This program is going to be a joint effort
between the City of Woodburn, Portland General Electric (PGE), and
the Woodburn Chamber of Commerce. The donated trees need to be
planted at the earliest possible date due to the lateness of the
year. Therefore, it is essential that all parties involved work
quickly in order to place the trees.
The trees were donated to the city of Woodburn by PGE with the
intent they will be used as street trees. The objective is to
enhance the livability and aesthetics of properties that abut
public Rights Of Way and public open spaces. The targeted area is
Highway 99E from North City Limits to South City Limits on both
sides of the Highway.

absolutely no vegetation or landscaping.
This rating level for property holds the
highest priority for tree donation.
This level describes property which has
some vegetation and landscaping but could
use considerable improvement. Property
rated at this level is still a high
priority for tree donations.
