VI. ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA
VII. PUBLIC HEARINGS, ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
A. Public Hearing - Resolution No. 1342, To Annex 5.93 Acres,
Located at 600 Beebe Road and Identified on the Jackson
County Assessor's Map as 37 2W 02 Tax Lot 3100, Applicant:
Shepherd of the Valley Catholic Church
Community Development Director Tom Humphrey explained this is a
public hearing regarding the annexation of the Shepherd of the Valley
Catholic Church. This property is located at 600 Beebe Road and has
been initiated by the property owner. All annexation criteria has been met,
the city is authorized under ORS 222.120 to hold a public hearing without
an election as long as the annexation is a full consent annexation which
this is.
The City has received written consent, the property is contiguous to city
limits and within the Urban Growth Boundary. Public Works has reviewed
the existing public facilities and their proximity to the annexation area and
concluded that public facilities can be provided or extended to the site.
The annexation has been duly noticed and advertised as a public hearing
for tonight's City Council Meeting.
The Church does plan to expand the church once the annexation and site
plan approval have been processed. They have worked with the adjoining
property owners who are not interested in annexing at this time to create
lot line adjustments creating a small sliver of land to provide access to the
lot behind the Church. There was discussion regarding the options of
forced annexation in regards to the property surrounding this proposal. In
order to force these properties to annex we would need to put it before the
Voters of Central Point. The most cost effective way would be to annex all
areas within the urban growth boundary at the same time, not just one
specific area.
Mayor Williams opened the Public Hearing at 7:24 p.m.
Herb Farber, Representative for the Applicant
Mr. Farber stated that the alley exists so that the property owner in the
back has legal access to his property. The Church wishes to annex
because the City of Central Point is easier to work with then Jackson
County Planning Department. They do plan to expand the church and
also the parking area. The Resolution before the Council is not for the site
plan approval, this is only regarding the annexation of the property. The
CAP091212 Page 3

Page 3
site plan approval and conditions will come before the Planning
Commission at a later date.
Earnest Mingus, Beebe Road Resident.
Mr. Mingus is not against the annexation of the Catholic Church. He
disagrees with the Public Works assessment that the infrastructure at the
intersection of Beebe Road and Hamrick can handle any increase in
traffic. That intersection should have been upgraded years ago according
to Transportation System Plan for Central Point. He stated there are
accidents at that intersection and believes the annexation should be
delayed until the upgrades have been completed by the City. The Church
should not be responsible for something the City should have done years
ago.
Parks and Public Works Director Matt Samitore explained the
transportation service plan and stated that we have had zero growth over
the last few years. Growth creates improvements. We have had no funds
to invest in this intersection. The site plan and intersection improvements
will be discussed during the site plan approval process. The property
owners do not need to annex into the city to make improvements. If they
apply for building permits with Jackson County the City will have little say
in the process and improvements would not be made to the intersection.
Bret Moore, Buck Point Street Resident and church member
Mr. Moore is in favor of the annexation. The Annexation meets the criteria
and should be annexed. The site plan will be worked on later as part of the
process and traffic issues will be discussed. The only time people
currently park on Beebe Road is during religious holidays a few times a
year. As a rule there are no traffic jams because of the church services.
He feels that the landscaping along one corner of Beebe /Hamrick could be
in the site triangle and in the right of way. If that issue could be fixed there
would be less of an issue for traffic and would be very cost effective for the
City.
Public Hearing was closed at 7:49 p.m.
Council would be interested in seeing options for the Hamrick /Beebe
intersection in regards to traffic control. This would be a good topic for a
future Study Session.
Bruce Dingier made a motion to approve Resolution No. 1342, To
Annex 5.93 Acres, Located at 600 Beebe Road and Identified on the
Jackson County Assessor's Map as 37 2W 02 Tax Lot 3100,
Applicant: Shepherd of the Valley Catholic Church. Kay Harrison

B. Second Reading, Ordinance No. 1964, An Ordinance Adopting
the Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Plan, Including
Adoption of a Regional Plan Element as a New Element of the
City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan, An Amendment to
the Land Development Ordinance Chapter 17.71 Agricultural
Buffering, an Amendment to the Official Comprehensive Plan
Land Use Map Designating the Urban Reserve Areas, and
Approval of an Urban Reserve Management Agreement
Between Jackson County and the City of Central Point
Community Development Director Tom Humphrey stated there were no
recommended changes at the first reading of an Ordinance to adopt the
Regional Plan which includes the new element of the Comprehensive Plan
and Agricultural Buffering. The Ordinance also approves the Council to
sign the Urban Reserve Management Agreement between Jackson
County and the City of Central Point.
The Council held a public hearing on July 26, and accepted public
testimony for and against the recommendation to adopt the Greater Bear
Creek Valley Regional Plan, Comp Plan Amendments, and Chapter 17.71.
After the public testimony the Council moved the ordinance to second
reading with no changes.
Kay Harrison made a motion to approve Ordinance No. 1964, An
Ordinance Adopting the Greater Bear Creek Valley Regional Plan,
Including Adoption of a Regional Plan Element as a New Element of
the City of Central Point Comprehensive Plan, An Amendment to the

Police Chief Kris Allison explained that there were no recommended
changes at the first reading of an ordinance stipulating that businesses
such as Pawnbrokers and Second Hand Dealers be required to retain
items they purchase for a certain amount of time before resale is allowed.
This will give the victim time to report it stolen, the police time to get it in
the system and search the database. There were no recommended
changes at the first reading.
Kay Harrison made a motion to approve Ordinance No. 1965, An
Ordinance Adding Section 5.34.025 to the Central Point Municipal
Code to Require Pawnbrokers and Second Hand Dealers to Retain
Property Prior to Resale. Ellie George seconded. Roll call: Allen
Broderick, yes, Bruce Dingler, yes; Carol Fischer, yes; Kay Harrison, yes;
Hank Williams, yes; and Ellie George, yes. Motion approved.
VIII. BUSINESS
A. Appointment of Parks and Recreation Commission Chair
Parks and Public Works Director Matt Samitore stated that with the
passing of County Assessor Kerry Bradshaw Central Point also lost a very
active community member. He had also been the Central Point Parks and
Recreation Chair for several years. His passing leaves the Chair position
vacant on the Parks and Recreation Commission and a vacancy on the
Commission. Staff recommends Mark Ludwiczak as the new Chair. Mark
has been very active as a committee member since he was appointed in
2010; he attends all fundraising events and meetings on a regular basis.
Allen Broderick made a motion to appoint Mark Ludwiczak as Parks
and Recreation Committee Chair. Ellie George seconded. Roll call:
Allen Broderick, yes, Bruce Dingler, yes; Carol Fischer, yes; Kay Harrison,
yes; Hank Williams, yes; and Ellie George, yes. Motion approved.
B. Planning Commission Report
Community Development Director Tom Humphrey presented the Planning
Commission Report for August 7, 2012:
• The Commission denied a request to remove a tree and directed staff to
trim and repair it. They accepted recommendations from City Staff and Ms.
Grosenbach to remove the mature tree that has had some damage done to it
and is dropping fruit in a sidewalk landscape strip. The code directs that the
Planning Commission review requests and authorize tree removal. In this
case the Commission found that the tree was healthy and did not jeopardize
the safety of the public.

The Commission considered the Minor Modification to the Tentative Map
for North Village Phases 1 and 2 in Twin Creeks. The City has approved
previous extensions for this subdivision however, the adoption of new Flood
Insurance Rate Maps and Changes to the City's Flood Damage Prevention
Ordinance necessitated modifications to the Tentative Map and more
stringent conditions for this extensive request.
There was discussion of East Pine Street Master Plan — Residential
Density Options. The Commission was introduced to preliminary TOD- related
land use work that planning staff is performing at the direction of the City
Council. Staff is evaluating the possibility of using residential density targets
that the City committed itself to in the Regional Plan. Higher densities have
been used successfully in Twin Creeks and may make sense on the east side
of the freeway if the City creates another TOD. The Commission wants staff
to return with some possible scenarios at future meetings
There was discussion regarding the need for a motion to accept or approve the
Planning Commission report. City Attorney Paul Noltey stated that there is an
appeal period and the Council could appeal a decision of the Planning
Commission but by the time this report is usually presented that time has passed.
The need for a motion is no longer necessary because of changes to CPMC
administrative review processes. Community Development Director Tom
Humphrey stated that he would be happy to prepare a report for the Council the
day after a Planning Commission so they would know what decisions were made
and can request a review if they feel it necessary.
Allen Broderick made a motion to accept the Planning Commission Report
for August 7, 2012 as presented. Carol Fischer seconded. Roll call: Allen
Broderick, yes, Bruce Dingler, yes; Carol Fischer, yes; Kay Harrison, yes; Hank
Williams, yes; and Ellie George, yes. Motion approved.
IX. MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Williams reported that he attended a Medford Water Commission meeting
and the Oregon Mayor's Conference. There were 18 State Department Heads in
attendance for one on one discussion time. It was educational for the attendees.
X. CITY MANAGER'S REPORT
City Manager Phil Messina reported that there are no items for a Study Session
or second Council meeting for August. A motion to cancel the August 23rd
Council meeting is in order.
Allen Broderick made a motion to cancel the August 23, 2012 Council
meeting. Ellie George seconded. Roll call: Allen Broderick, yes, Bruce Dingler,
yes; Carol Fischer, yes; Kay Harrison, yes; Hank Williams, yes; and Ellie George,
yes. Motion approved.

FROM: Chris Clayton, Matt Samitore
AGENDA DATE: September 9th, 2012
SUBJECT: Central Point East Subdivision Curb Ramp Issue
BACKGROUND:
Beginning in the late 1990's multiple phases of the Central Point East Subdivision were developed using
"rolled curb" (see attached photo /standard drawing). Although economical for builders and developers, rolled
curb provides a cost saving to developer /builders because it does not require replacement when a driveway
apron location is determined by and individual property owner; the rolled curb design presents a variety of
issues for adjacent property owners. These issues include limited drainage opportunities from adjacent private
property, difficult navigation by passenger type vehicles, and reduced property, infrastructure and pedestrian
protection from vehicles in the traveled way.
In an effort to mitigate the navigation issue (jarring when entering or exiting a driveway), a number of
property owners have purchased removable " Bridjit" style (see attached product information) ribber ramps and
placed them in the curb line /public right -of -way. While extremely effective at alleviating the jarring that
occurs when entering or exiting a driveway, these ramps also create several public right -of -way concerns and
are a violation of the current City of Central Point Municipal Code (CPMC). Property owners currently using
the Birdjit style ramps have been contacted by the Central Point Community Services Officer and warned of
the (CPMC) violation. After receiving an opportunity to remove the ramps without citation, the property
owners were given a second warning that included a timeline for issuance of a citation for non-
removal /compliance.
CAP091212 Page 11
PROPOSAL:
In an effort to continue using the Birdjit style ramps and avoid citations, multiple property owners have
requested that City Staff bring the issue to City Council for direction on a possible Central Point Municipal
Code Amendment. Section 12.20 of the Central Point Municipal Code prohibits the following:
12.20.020 Prohibited.
A. It is unlawful for any person to place or allow in or over any alley, street or sidewalk, or any street or
alley right -of -way, whether improved or not, any of the following:
1. Any garbage or refuse of any nature, provided, however, that garbage or refuse in enclosed
containers may be temporarily placed within the street right -of -wav upon garbage collection days;
2. Any building, fence, or other structure, including items which are by design intended to be
portable, provided however, that fences (subject to subsection B of this section) and mailboxes may
be placed in a right -of -wav, at the owners expense, if the same do not impede sight distance
necessary for the safe use of the street, alley, driveway or sidewalk by vehicular or pedestrian
traffic, and further provided that the same shall be removed upon the request of the city.
Should the City Council direct Staff to amend section 12.20.020 of the CPMC to accommodate the Birdjit style
ramps, Staff would suggest amending the code to allow the Public Works Director to issue right-of-way -
encroachment permits that allow certain structures to be placed in public rights -of -way. The Public Works
Director would retain the authority to issue and revoke permits in the best interest of the Public.
NEGATIVE IMPACTS:
1. As the public record reflects, many residents of Central Point East find the ramps unsightly.
2. While the Bridjit style ramps contain a small orifice to accommodate gutter flow, the 2.5 -inch diameter
orifice will not accommodate the 10 -year storm flows required by the Central Point Public Works
Standards and Specifications. Furthermore, during heavy rainfall events, the Bridjit style ramps will
direct gutter flow into the traveled way.
3. The Bridjit style ramps are heavy and constricted from durable material; however, these ramps prevent
the City's street sweeper from cleaning the entire street.
CAP091212 Page 12
POSITIVE IMPACTS:
1. The property owners using Bridjit style ramps are attempting to avoid the jarring that occurs when
entering and exiting their driveway. The installation of these ramps has produced a smoother transition
from the driveway apron to the public right -of -way.
FISCAL IMPACT:
1. If the Council directs staff to amend the current code and issue an annual right -of -way encroachment
permit for each of these ramps a small amount of revenue will be generated. Approximately 15
property owners have installed the ramps and if required to obtain an annual right -of -way
encroachment permit ($50.00), the total amount of annual revenue would equal $750.00. The
generated revenue would cover staff time to perform routine inspections and observe the ramps during
significant rainfall events.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Direct Staff to enforce the current Central Point Municipal Code that does not allow portable strictures
in the public right -of -way.
2. Direct Staff to prepare a Central Point Municipal Code amendment allowing the Public Works Director
to permit certain portable strictures in the public right -of -way.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Rolled Curb Standard Drawing /Photo
2. Birdjit curb ramp product information.
3. Public input on the curb ramp issue.
4. Photos of currently install " Birdjit" style ramps.

Subject: Rubber Curb Mats
1. Flooding due to difficulty of drainage for gutters, the holes in the mats would eventually fill
with debre and water which would create drainage problems.
2. Dirt and refuge would eventually collect on ends and around the mats. Which would result
in streetsweepers having difficulty maintaining the streets. They do not move, cars eventually
do, we also have in place a 48 hr. window for parking with our CC&R's as well as city laws.
3. If one person uses them, anyone could purchase and use them in the subdivision, which
would certainly add to the problem.
4. There is a possible danger for children or adults riding bikes, especially in the evening
hours.

Shercom Industries' Curb Ramp pmduct has been promoted by the City of Saskatoon fbr a
number of years as an acceptable method of improving the transition between the road and
sidewalk at legal crossing areas.
Many modem vehicles, particularly cars, have trouble mounting steep rolled curbs that were
constructed in the 1960's and 1970's. Curbs constructed in that era were designed for cars,
which were much larger than the average car on the road today. In addition, climates that subject
subgrades to freeze/thaw cycles can result in movement in all sicTewalks which can cause the
curbs to become steeper than onally designed.
the road and sidewalk. These permanent ramps are illegal and can be removed at the
homeowner's cost when City Bylaws are enforced.
