ROLL CALL: Mike Oliver, yes; Tom Van Voorhees, yes; Tim Schmeusser, yes; Craig Nelson, yes; Kay Harrison, yes. Motion passed. V. PUBLIC APPEARANCES—None VI. BUSINESS VII. DISCUSSION State Police Communications Tower. Don Burt presented Resolution 793, the proposed zoning adjustment for the State Police Communications Tower to a Class A Non-Conforming use per CPMC Section 17.56.040. At the time the Tower was constructed the property was zoned R-2 and communication towers were permitted. He explained that the zoning was changed to TOD (EC) in 1998. At the time of the rezoning the Tower's non-conforming status was not considered. Thus, by default it is considered a Class B non-conforming use. It was stressed that the Tower is needed for the continued protection, safety and general welfare of the public. It has been in use since 1998 and has not been the cause of any complaints or other issues. By re-classifying the Tower as a Class A Non- Conforming use, it would allow greater flexibility in the continued use, maintenance and operation of the Tower consistent with the purpose and function of the Oregon State Police Headquarters facility. Planning Commission Minutes July 2, 2013 Page 2 There was some discussion regarding other towers in the area and the efforts to keep their appearance minimally intrusive. The current intent is to relocate the Tower approximately 30 feet back on the property. The Tower will remain the same height, which is 80 feet. Craig Nelson moved to approve Resolution 793. Mike Oliver seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Mike Oliver, yes; Tom Van Voorhees, yes; Tim Schmeusser, yes; Craig Nelson, yes; Kay Harrison, yes. Motion passed. Amendment to Municipal Code Section 17.61050, Table 2 Don Burt presented Resolution 796, the modification of Municipal Code Section I 7.65.050, Table 2 with regard to the conflict between Minimum Area and Average Minimum Area per Dwelling Unit and Minimum and Maximum Density requirement which were in conflict. He proposed that since the density standard is the governing policy standard, the modification should be limited to the minimum and Average minimum area per dwelling unit. Mike Oliver moved to approve Resolution 793. Tom Van Voorhees seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Mike Oliver, yes; Tom Van Voorhees, yes; Tim Schmeusser, yes; Craig Nelson, yes; Kay Harrison, yes. Motion passed. Amendment to Municipal Code to Add Sidewalk Cafes and Revise Other Code Sections as Necessary Tom Humphrey presented Resolution 794, a recommendation to the City Council to approve amendments to the Municipal Code to add sidewalk cafes and revise other code sections as necessary. Specifically, Title 5 and Chapters 9.54 and 9.64. He stated that Bobbio's Pizza has approached the City about serving food and alcoholic beverages in front of their business. The City envisions this practice in front of other restaurants in the Downtown, however, the Municipal Code Chapters 9.54—Intoxication and 9.64—Obstructing Public Passage were prohibitive of this proposal. The City Attorney recommended the introduction of a Sidewalk Café ordinance which would provide both opportunity and safeguards for outdoor dining and drinking. He indicated the Department's intention to add Sidewalk Café's to Chapter 5 and make two subtle changes in Chapters 9.54 (Intoxication) and 9.64( Obstructing Public Passage) which will make Sidewalk Café's consistent with the rest of the code. He added that there do not appear to be any significant issues with these revisions. The provisions for Sidewalk Cafes have been used successfully in Ashland for years without any negative consequences. Changes to Chapters 5 and 9 are all very straightforward amendments that can be made locally and quickly. To keep the ambience of the area advertising would not be allowed on the umbrellas except for printing directly on the fabric. Planning Commission Minutes July 2, 2013 Page 3 There was some concern regarding redundancy in the code and the need to clarify the language. Mr. Humphrey stressed that permits would be required and would dictate the conditions governing the Sidewalk Café's. All permits would expire December 31 s`and would need to be renewed each January. Tom Van Voorhees made a motion to approve Resolution 794 with the recommended language adjustment to clarify pc niissible advertising on sidewalk café sites. Kay Harrison seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Tom Van Voorhees, yes; Kay Harrison, yes; Mike Oliver, yes; Tim Schmeusser, yes; Craig Nelson, yes. Motion passed. Intent to Amend Municipal Code Section 1124 Sign code:Section 17.67 Design Standards— TOD District and TOD Corridor and to use Reserved Section 17.75.050 Signage Standards to Consolidate All Other References top Signs in the Zoning Code. Tom Humphrey presented Resolution 795. Intent to Amend Municipal Code Section 15.24 Sign code; Section 17.67 Design Standards—TOD District and TOD Corridor and to use Reserved Section 17.75.050 Signage Standards to Consolidate All Other References to Signs in the Zoning Code. The Municipal Code currently contains too many various references to signs. Chapter 15 was originally intended to govern the building criteria for signs. The intent is to try to simplify the code. Derek Zwagerman reviewed Chapter 15 and made changes to make it consistent with current building code. There are multiple references to signs throughout the Zoning Code. The intent is to have all references to signs refer to Section 17.75 where all original sign language will be compiled. The differing types of advertising signs were discussed. The possibility of allowing lighted signs only by the freeway with specific conditions governing them was discussed. It was stated that signs by the freeway should be limited to a height of 60 feet. The TOD district should be kept more controlled and sophisticated, such as back lit or halo type signs. Any changes to the Zoning code would require notification and approval to the DLCD Mike Oliver made a motion to approve Resolution 795. Kay Harrison seconded the motion. ROLL CALL: Mike Oliver, yes; Kay Harrison, yes, Tom Van Voorhees, yes, Tim Schmeusser, yes; Craig Nelson, yes. Motion passed. VIII. ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEWS IX. MISCELLANEOUS X.

SRP would like to decommission the existing 80ft communication site and migrate all radio antennas and associated equipment onto SRP's proposed tower and shelter in order to keep continued emergency service operational. SRP was created by four state agencies, State Police, Department of Corrections. Department of Forestry and Department of Transportation, in conjunction with other federal, state and county/local agencies, in developing and adequate coverage for such required public services for emergency management. The justification for this proposal is that the current tower is outdated in handling current and future radio antennas on the tower. The proposed tower site will be relocated about 45 feet away from the existing site to be decommission so that the site does not interrupt the foundation of the building, light and air from the building's windows and utilizes better accessibility to the site where other maintenance and operational facilities current reside on the property.Once SRP's communication facility is completed and operational, OSP proposes to decommission their 80ft tower site and migrate all antenna and radio equipment onto SRP's tower and into their shelter in order to consolidate emergency services. OSP will return the site to its original state and comply with City of Central Point's regulations regarding removal and restoration.The anticipated time for such task will be within 30-60 days of SRP tower site being fully operational. This current proposal will be in compliance with the 1995 Conditional Use Permit and Variance Applications to allow a communication facility at the height of 80ft in a commercial zone. In 1998, the property was rezoned to TOD-EC (Transit Oriented Development—Employment Commercial) where communication tower/facilities are not permitted as a use in the district. On August 6, 2013, the Planning Commission deemed this property rezone and reclassified to allow this existing communication facility to reside,under the classification-Class A as a legal nonconforming use.This classification will now allow the tower to be modified within the perimeters of the code. SRP's tower will not increase the required height or the overall visibility of the existing tower on the north side of the OSP's building. SRP's proposal will not require any additional services for operation that current reside on the property. The addition of a generator and a propane tank are requirements for emergency services to continue to operate in the cases where operations are lost due to electrical service interruption. No existing vegetation shall be impacted as a result of this tower. The use of the existing trees on the north property line will continue to be used for visual mitigation. SRP will continue to operate under the required legal nonconforming use and will not impact its legal nonconformity as a result of this proposed design. kauli9•world sel niter BLACK &VEATCH COMPLIANCE WITH LAND USE REGULATIONS CHAPTER 17.05 APPLICATIONS AND TYPES OF REVIEW PROCEDURES Section 17.05.400 Type III Procedure(Quasi-Judicial) Response: State Radio Project (SRP) shall follow all application requirements for a completed application submittal for a Type III Application procedure. A Pm-Application Meeting was conducting by Don Burt, AICP, Planning Manager on 5/28/13, please reference Pre-Application Meeting File# 13016. As for the application requirements, SRP's he application consists of Type III CUP Application Form,Application Fee, Legal Description, Email Authorization for Agent, (3) Copies of 11"x17" scaled drawings, (1) 8.5"x 11"reduced copy of the drawings, mailing labels(all properties within 100ft of the subject parcel) and the project description and narrative demonstrating compliance with all Chapter 17.76.040. CHAFFER 17.56 NONCONFORMING USES Section 17.56.060 Regulations Pertaining to Class A and B Nonconforming Uses A.The following regulations shall apply to all designated Class A nonconforming uses and structures: 1.Class A nonconforming uses and structures shall be permitted to continue in accordance with the provisions and requirements of the most restrictive zoning district in which the use or structure would normally be listed as a permitted use;or conditional use if not listed as a permitted use in any district; 2. Existing legal nonconforming structures and uses shall be permitted to expand, remodel, or otherwise be physically or structurally improved, provided such improvements are in accordance with all applicable codes in effect at the time of the improvements; 3.A Class A nonconforming use shall not be resumed if it has been discontinued for a continuous period of at least twelve months or if it has been changed to a conforming use for any period; 4.No Class A structure or property shall be used,altered or enlarged in violation of any condition that was imposed by the planning commission or city council at the time of its designation as Class A; 5. If a nonconforming structure, or structure containing a nonconforming use, is destroyed by any cause to an extent exceeding fifty percent of the appraised value, as determined by the records of the county assessor, a future structure or use on that property shall conform to the regulations for the district in which it is located; provided, however,that this subsection shall not apply to buildings which have been designated by the city as historic buildings pursuant to Chapter 17_70 of this title; 6.Nothing contained in this title shall require any change in the plans, construction,alteration or designated use of a structure for which a valid building permit existed prior to the adoption of the ordinance codified in this title, except that if the use will be nonconforming and designated Class A, it shall be subject to all appropriate provisions of this section and shall be considered discontinued if not in operation within one year of the date of issuance of the building permit. The owner of such discontinued use may apply for reinstatement of the Class A nonconforming use designation by following the procedure established in Section 17.56.040(B)of this chapter. Response: In 1998, the subject parcel was rezoned from R-2 to TOD-EC, changing the existing tower to a nonconforming use,where towers are not allowed in the TOD-EC.On August 6, 2013, the Planning Commission reclassified under Class A and deemed this tower as a legal nonconforming use, thereby allowing the tower to be modified for continued use. SRP's proposed communication facility will not increase in height or create any additional nonconfortities are a result of it design. This proposal will not impact the legal nonconforming classification and will meet all code regulations as set forth in the City's Land Development Code. CHAPTER 17.60 GENERAL REGUALTIONS • Section 17.60.040 Antenna Standards The purpose of these regulations is to ensure that antennas continue to serve the needs of the community, while assuring that antennas are regulated in a manner that minimized visual impacts. The standards regulating the placement of antennas within the city of Central Point are as set forth in this section. B.Tower-Mounted Antennas. Tower-mounted antennas shall comply with the following standards: 1.Tower-mounted antennas are allowed per Table 2: Table Zoning District P ermitted Use Conditional Use Not Permitted R-2 — — Not Permitted C-2 — — Not Permitted C-5 — Conditional Use — 6,.Ej:S, ,,i [6 M-2 — Conditional Use — C-5 TOD Overlay — — Not Permitted Flo If — �, ii�sitfY�fl 2.Tower-Mounted Antennas, Single. Single tower-mounted antennas are subject to the following general requirements: a. When adjacent to residentially zoned properties, additional tower setback may be required to protect against collapse; b.Towers and tower-mounted antennas shall be painted an unobtrusive color; c. Lighting on towers shall be prohibited unless required by the Federal Aviation Administration; d.Conditional use permit applications may have additional conditions imposed to mitigate the visual impact of the tower and tower-mounted antennas on surrounding properties. Response: SRP's proposal is a classified as a nonconforming use. The modification of this site is allowed based on the classification—Class A and it is therefore subject to this section of the code. The tower site will be setback at minimum, no less than 10 feet from the north property line and more than twice the height of the proposed tower from the east, west and south properties lines. On the north line, residential zoning abuts the property. However, the property has been deemed uninhabitable for residential use and the property is planned for a future arboretum as per the City's Comprehensive Plan. The City currently owns the adjacent property and has planned for such project. The tower is designed to collapse within in its own foot-print. If the tower were to collapse horizontally to the property lines,no residential structures shall be affected as a result. Response: The tower and tower-mounted antennas shall be painted to match and will be compatible to the surrounding areas. The tower will not have any reflective paint as to cause glare. Response: Lighting is not required on the tower and FAA is not requiring this tower be lit at this time. Response: SRP acknowledges that this proposal is subject to any additional conditions under this type of application for the purposes of mitigating any visual impacts of the tower and tower-mounted antennas on surrounding properties. SRP also acknowledges that Planning Staff or the Planning Commission may make conditions of approval in order to mitigate any visual impacts as a result of this proposal. CHAPTER 17.65 TOD DISTRICT& CORRIDORS Section 17.65.040 Land Use--TOD District B.Employment(TOD) 1. EC--Employment Commercial. Retail, service, and office uses are primarily intended for this district. Activities which are oriented and complementary to pedestrian travel and transit are encouraged. Development is expected to support pedestrian access and transit use. Automobile oriented activities are generally not included in the list of permitted uses. Residential uses above ground floor commercial uses are also consistent with the purpose of this zone. Response: SRP proposed use complies with the legal nonconforming classification for the continued use of emergency management services in the TOD-EC District. SRP shall comply with all applicable regulations of the TOD-EC District. Section 17.65.050 Zoning Regulations--TOD District C.Conditional Uses. Conditional uses in Table I are shown with a "C." These uses are allowed if they comply with the applicable provisions of this title.They are subject to the same application and review process as other conditional uses identified in this title. Table 1:TOD District Land Uses Utilities—Conditional Use Permit Response: SRP acknowledges a communication facility will be reviewed as a conditional use permit application. Table 2:TOD District Zoning Standards Building Setbacks in EC Front:Oft Sides: 10 feet(if abutting residential) Rear: 10 feet(if abutting residential) Maximum Building Height in EC Height: 60 feet Response: SRP proposal meets all setback requirements.The tower will be closest to the side property line (north property line) and shall be setback no less than 10 feet. As for height, the continued variance from 1995 allows the tower to be at no more than 80 feet in overall height, this also includes any antennas that may project over the top of the tower. Currently, the existing tower has antennas projecting over the tower. When OSP migrates over to the SRP tower,all antennas shall be no higher than 80ft in overall height to the tower.The maximum overall height of 80ft shall not be exceeded. Section 17.65.060 Land Use--TOD Corridor C.Conditional Uses. Conditional uses in Table I are shown with a "C." These uses are allowed if they comply with the applicable provisions of this title. They are subject to the same application and review process as other conditional uses identified in this title. Table 1: TOD Corridor Land Uses Utilities—Conditional Use Permit Response: SRP acknowledges a communication facility will be reviewed as a conditional use permit application. Table 2:TOD Corridor Zoning Standards Building Setbacks in EC Front: Oft Sides: 10 feet(if abutting residential) Rear: 10 feet(if abutting residential) Maximum Building Height in EC Height:60 feet Response: SRP proposal meets all setback requirements.The tower will be closest to the side property line (north property line) and shall be setback no less than 10 feet. As for height, the continued variance from 1995 allows the tower to be at no more than 80 feet in overall height, this also includes any antennas that may project over the top of the tower. Currently, the existing tower has antennas projecting over the tower. When OSP migrates over to the SRP tower,all antennas shall be no higher than 80ft in overall height to the tower.The maximum overall height of 80ft shall not be exceeded. CHAPTER 17.65 CONDITIONAL USE PERMITS Section 17.76.040 Findings and Conditions The planning commission in granting a conditional use permit shall find as follows: A.That the site for the proposed use is adequate in size and shape to accommodate the use and to meet all other development and lot requirements of the subject zoning district and all other provisions of this code; Response: The size and shape of the lot is adequate for the SRP's proposal and shall meet all the development and lot requirements of the subject zoning district as specified in Chapter 17.65 for TOD-EC District. B.That the site has adequate access to a public street or highway and that the street or highway is adequate in size and condition to effectively accommodate the traffic that is expected to be generated by the proposed use; Response: The site has adequate access through two approaches off Highway 99 West. Access to the site can traverse through the back parking lot or the access directly off Highway 99 West(existing curb cut). C.That the proposed use will have no significant adverse effect on abutting property or the permitted use thereof. In making this determination, the commission shall consider the proposed location of improvements on the site; vehicular ingress, egress and internal circulation; setbacks; height of buildings and structures; walls and fences; landscaping; outdoor lighting;and signs; Response: SRP's tower is proposed in a location where no abutting properties are directly impacted and will be built to accommodate existing and future antennas without impacts to light or air to OSP's building and better accessibility to the other maintenance facilities on the property. There are no additional impacts to ingress and egress, internal circulation or impacts to existing vegetation.No additional lighting or signage,other than what is required by FCC, is proposed for this project. All existing landscaping will be utilized for visual mitigation. D.That the establishment, maintenance or operation of the use applied for will comply with local, state and federal health and safety regulations and therefore will not be detrimental to the health, safety or general welfare of persons residing or working in the surrounding neighborhoods and will not be detrimental or injurious to the property and improvements in the neighborhood or to the general welfare of the community based on the review of those factors listed in subsection C of this section; Response: This proposed facility will be constructed to improve the health and safety of the OSP Headquarters and staff. Siting a new tower to handle existing and future antennas,further way from the building is ideal in operating a communication facility and continuing the full use of the property for all staff.As for any health and safety impacts to surrounding property owners, SRP will continue to comply with all FCC standards and regulations as well as any additional state or local regulations in order to operate an communication facility for emergency management. E.That any conditions required for approval of the permit are deemed necessary to protect the public health,safety and general welfare and may include: 1.Adjustments to lot size or yard areas as needed to best accommodate the proposed use; provided the lots or yard areas conform to the stated minimum dimensions for the subject zoning district,unless a variance is also granted as provided for in Chapter 17_13, Response: SRP shall comply with any adjustments to lot size necessary to accommodate a communication facility for emergency management. No adjustments to lot size are proposed as a result of this design. 2.Increasing street widths, modifications in street designs or addition of street signs or traffic signals to accommodate the traffic generated by the proposed use, Response: SRP shall comply with any modifications to street designs, street signs or street signals necessary to accommodate a communication facility for emergency management. No modifications to street designs, street signs or street signals are proposed as a result of this design. 3.Adjustments to off-street parking requirements in accordance with any unique characteristics of the proposed use, Response: SRP shall comply with any modifications to off-street parking to accommodate a communication facility for emergency management. No modifications to off-street parking are proposed as a result of this design. 4.Regulation of points of vehicular ingress and egress, Response: SRP shall comply with any modifications to ingress and egress to accommodate a communication facility for emergency management.No modifications to ingress and egress are proposed as a result of this design. 5.Requiring landscaping, irrigation systems, lighting and a property maintenance program, Response: SRP shall comply with any modifications to landscaping, irrigation, lighting and property maintenance to accommodate a communication facility for emergency management.

Currently, the City of Central Point does not have an approved list of recommended street trees. Street trees are those trees planted within the public right of way. Street trees are vital part of Central Point's infrastructure, contributing energy savings, filtering storm water runoff and enhancing property values. This guide encourages choices compatible with planting locations, minimizing damage to public improvements and promoting species diversity. The purpose of the draft guide is to provide detailed information for selecting the most appropriate street tree for specific sites. The guide is a supplement to CPMC Chapter 12.36 Trees. The guide has been developed to provide information on Central Point Street Tree standards as defined in the municipal code, general information on tree care and planting, and the size and shape of trees for site specific planning. Related to specific trees, the guide provides information on size and rate of growth, ornamental features, use, drought tolerance, maintenance issues, and other useful information. The document's graphics provide a visual reference to a specific tree's generalized shape and maximum height in relation to power pole/lines. A symbolic key provides information on leaf and fruit type, drought tolerance, and exposure. Lists are also provided on non-recommended and prohibited street trees. ISSUES: No issues. ATTArIIMENTS• Attachment "A"- City of Central Point Draft Recommended Street Tree Guide ACTION: Discussion and review by the Planning Commission. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the City of Central Point Draft Recommended Street Tree Guide and forward to the City Council. ATTACHMENT "A" Recommended Street Tree k _ 1k CITY OF e.

Since arboreal diversity is a goal, the City of Central Point has created this guide to the many species and varieties that are best suited for planting along the City's streets or anywhere in the public right-of-way. These trees have been selected because they generally have a conservative, containable root system. In addition, they are less messy with less seed or fruit drop than many species. They also require limited care and pruning and have good resistance to most pests and diseases. Lastly, they provide shade and help create an attractive and healthy neighborhood environment. The Recommended Street Tree List is not exhaustive.There are many additional trees that have great value as street trees. Many of these are described in the publications listed in the reference section.Trees other than those listed should be chosen to fit local conditions. The use of trees on the prohibited list for street trees is subject to approval by the Planning Commission. Azr Young Trees Need dal C� , The Recommend Str ',. ree List s `" Id be an aid to tree selection, but a healthy urban forest depends on mo ',pan colt!: n. City trees depend on consistent care from the time they are plante• Young trees are especially vulne u ; • j- conditions. They are fragile and can be easily damaged. For protection,most ne ;`'' "" ed trees should be staked for only the first year. New trees should be deeply water l,`•nce a we-, Jl the first two summers and less often over the next two years. This will p ote • gas the tree will seek water further down in the soil. Fertilizers too s _ out over a few years. Both over- fertilizing and over-watering lead to shallow-rooted - ', whic ire regular"handouts" in order to survive. Proper pruning of street trees when they are young I imp nt. Cit es must co-exist with traffic, powerlines, buildings, and pedestn ns. City o dinance uire branches to be trimmed eight feed above sidewalks, thirteen feet above 1 ets, fifteen feet above collector streets, and eighteen feet above arterial streets. C t pru ° g is the best thing that can be done for a tree. Consult the references listed f ore information about proper pruning techniques. Central Point Street Tree Standards APPROVAL STANDARDS:All development fronting on public or private streets shall be required to plant street trees in accordance with the following standards and chosen from the recommended list of street trees. A.The species of the street trees to be planted shall be chosen from the approved street tree list unless approval of another species is given by the Central Point planning commission. B. Street trees shall be a minimum of one and one-half inches in caliper measured at six inches above ground level.All trees shall be healthy grown nursery stock with a single straight trunk, a well-developed leader with tops and roots characteristic of the species cultivar or variety.All trees must be free of insects, diseases, mechanical injury, and other objectionable features when planted. a RECOMMENDED TREES c.Small or narrow stature trees (under twenty-five feet tall and less than sixteen feet wide branching) should be spaced no greater than twenty feet apart; medium sized trees(twenty- five feet to forty feet tall, sixteen feet to thirty-five feet wide branching)should be spaced no greater than thirty feet apart; and large trees(over forty feet tall and more than thirty-five feet wide branching) should be spaced no greater than forty feet apart. Within residential developments, street trees should be evenly spaced,with variations to the spacing permitted as approved by the city for specific site limitations and safety purposes. Within commercial and industrial development staggered, or irregular spacing is permitted, as may be approved by the Central Point planning commission. D.When located adjacent to a local residential street or minor collector street, street trees shall be planted within a curb-side landscape strip measuring a minimum of three feet in width. Street trees adjacent to major collector streets or arterial streets shall be placed a minimum of four feet from the back edge of the sidewalk. In no case shall a tree be planted closer than two and one-half fe= from the face of a curb. E.Street trees shall not b F•nte• 'i hin ten feet of fire hydrants, utility poles, sanitary sewer, storm sewer or / -2r lines o k ithin twenty feet of street light standards or street intersections, or with r- e feet of a'"xisti • street tree.Variations to these distances may be granted by the ;•%•lic wo r ""•it ..r" d as may be required to ensure adequate clear vision. <� F. Existing street trees shall be r ed ''s roved by the city manager for removal during site development or in conjunction _i '"=`street construction project. Sidewalks of a variable width and elevation may be utili as WV' the city manager or his designee to save existing street trees.Any street t `- re t gh demolition or construction within the street right-of-way shall be repl- •n appr ved by the city with a tree, or trees, of similar value.As an alternative the prop" (iwner a required to pay to the city an amount sufficient to fund the planting and es '; ish y city of a tree of similar value.The value of the removed tree shall be calc :`'ed a me ds set forth in the edition then in effect of the"Guide for Plant Appraisa" ishe the I national Society of Arboriculture Council of Tree Landscape Appraisers. a develop r or app t shall be responsible for the cost of the planting, maintenance and establishment oft ment tree. a.Sidewalk cuts in concrete for tree planting shall be a minimum of feet by six feet,with the long dimension parallel to the curb. H.Street trees, as they grow, shall be pruned to provide at least eight feet of clearance above sidewalks and thirteen feet above local streets,fifteen feet above collector streets, and eighteen feet above arterial streets.This provision may be waived in the case of newly planted trees so long as they do not interfere with public travel, sight distances, or endanger public safety as determined by the city. I. Maintenance of street trees, other than those located in the downtown core area (defined as that area bordered by Manzanita, Oak, Front and 6th Streets)shall be the continuing obligation of the abutting property owner. 5 RECOMMENDED STREET TREES Planting Instructions t l Proper planting of street trees will help assure their ' survival and get them off to a good start. -\ 1. HOLE SIZE: Each hole should be about twice the y 6 diameter of the container or root ball. In soils that T have good structure, the planting hole need only be � , deep enough to hold the root ball. Plant"high" or �' "proud" in all but sandy soils. The sides and bottom I .— of the hole should be roughened with a shovel to NIL intermingle the backfill and local native soil and to provide easier access for developing roots. n 2.SOIL IMPROVEMENT: FOr most street tree planting, a back fill soil mix co •osed of 25% humus or soil amendment a pr""%o tree pit soil is recommended. In heavier " sol w.=mendments .r- s. 1111=IIII ,...`r: .. iai iiii are not recommended „ 11110.111IE e i i 1111=1111= 1111111 n:cnn m , —IIA IIII iit s.PLANTING: Place th v r e in th le -` <;?e 1111=11110111 1111--1111=1111=111=1111=1111= =1111=1111=111=IIII=IIII=1111=1111°IIAa111 roots spread in a natural • +:".1 h '- sh 1111=1111=IIII=1111=1111=1111=IIII=1111=1111=_ - =1111=1111=111°1111=IIII=IIII=M1=-11/11111 stand at about the same depth tha , in th- } nursery.Work the backfill soil fir l -rou ' ,.,e,,:,; 2% BALL ow.

Rem ve all strings and tags from the trunk and branches.Wire cages should be flatte'";J:"r clipp after tree is in hole. 4.SELECTED PRUNING: Pruning may be necessary}. B ave n been pre-pruned by the nursery at the time of digging. Prune only to kee• arm ape a tree. Cut just above a bud or close to a twig, branch, or trunk.Try to orm a we develop own with a strong leader and wide-angled branches. S.FERTILIZER(OPTIONAL):When the hole for the tree is about 2/3 filled, slow-release fertilizer tablets may be evenly distributed around the rootball. The lets should have an analysis of 20-5-10 N-P-K or similar balance. S.STAKING: In many cases staking of new trees is unnecessary. Staking is beneficial in areas of potential vandalism, high winds and/or wet soil.Trees should be double staked with 7' long stakes having a minimum diameter of two inches.The stakes should extend four to five feet above the ground.Ties should be one inch canvas web belting or rubber, looped loosely around the trunk in a figure-eight pattern and nailed to the tree stakes. The tree should remain staked for no more than one year. 7.WATERING:Water new trees once a week for the first two summers and less often over the next two years. Deep waterings should be applied slowly within the area under the spread of the trees crown and just beyond. Short frequent waterings wet only the top few inches of soil and encourage roots to grow near the surface.Ask at your local nursery if you have questions about planting, pruning, feeding or watering your new trees. 6 RECOMMENDED STREET TREES RECOMMENDED STREET TREES Scientific Name Common Name PAGE Acerbuergerianum Trident Maple 17 Acer campestre Hedge Maple 18 Acerfreemanii 'Armstrong' Maple 19 Acer ginnala Amur Maple 20 Acer grandidentatum Bigtooth Maple 21 Acer griseum Paperbark Maple 22 Acer platanoides Norway Maple 23 Acer rubrum Red Maple 24 Acer saccharum Sugar Maple 25 Acer truncatum Purblebow Maple, Shantung Maple 26 Amelanchier arborea Hybrid Serviceberry 27 Carpinus betulus var.

The first con- sideration in selecting a tree is that the size and shape of the tree should suit the specific location in which it is planted. The following lists will help you select an appropriate tree for a particular circumstance. PYRAMIDAL Many trees that appear upright when young become pyramidal with age.As they mature, the lower branches get larger and begin to droop with weight. These lower branches should not interfere with vehicular or pedestrian traffic so pruning is sometimes needed.Although prun- ing may be required, some pyramidal trees nevertheless make good street trees. Medium to large pyramidal trees should not be planted under power lines.

The City performs line clearance where tree limbs are in close proximity to live wires.You may assist the utility workers and the community by planting trees that cause the least interference with wires. One solution is to plant smaller trees that top out at or below the height of the lowest live electrical wire. These live wires are 18 feet or more above the ground.Another solution is to plant trees that naturally fork into a multi-trunked form.These trees may be easily pruned and shaped away from overhead wires. Avoid planting large, single trunked or pyramidal shaped trees directly under power lines. Select more appropriate trees by using this list.

These trees are prohibited for use as street trees except under special circumstances. Their use must be approved by the Planning Commission.

THE TWIN CREEKS TOD MASTER PLAN The Twin Creeks Master Plan was approved on December 14, 2000 and allowed for a maximum development of 1,475 dwelling units and 200,000 sq. ft. of commercial floor area. Build-out of Twin Creeks TOD was conditioned on the timely completion of specified street improvements.The most significant, and outstanding street improvement, is construction of the intersection/railroad crossing at Twin Creeks Crossing and Hwy. 99. As a result in changes in the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) it is necessary to amend the Master Plan as necessary to address changes in floodway boundaries.The FIRM changes affect the final two phases (North Village 1 &2).The applicant has submitted to FEMA plans for modification of the FIRM,which is pending approval. Once approved the Developer can submit modifications to the Master Plan. A deadline of September 5,2014 has been set for consideration of a Master Plan extension and necessary modifications. Any amendment to the Master Plan will require approval by the Planning Commission. It is anticipated that the revised Master Plan will be submitted this winter. CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE ACTIVITY Relative to the Twin Creeks TOD there are two major infrastructure projects in progress: 1. FIRM Modifications-The Twin Creeks developer has prepared engineered plans for modifications to the current FIRM.The proposed changes have been submitted to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)for their review and Page 1 of 3 approval. It is our understanding that FEMA has approved the proposed changes pending approval of the environmental mitigation. Once approved the Developer can proceed to construct the floodway improvements (Spring 2014). 2. RR-Xing Improvements-The RR-Xing improvements have been engineered and the City is expecting a grant($2,670,000) from the Oregon Transportation Commission (OTC) to partially fund the RR-Xing and Hwy. 99 intersection construction. Construction is scheduled for FY17-18 at a cost of approximately $3,970,000.The City Council is currently discussing funding of the City's match ($1,300,000). It is anticipated that of the City's match the Developer will be responsible for$750,000. Once completed Twin Creeks TOD will have met its infrastructure requirements and will be allowed to build-out per the approved master plan. RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY Since approval of the Master Plan approximately 1,475 dwelling units have been approved,of which 430 dwelling units have been constructed.Currently, Twin Creeks has immediate capacity to accommodate an additional 1,045 dwelling units.The below table identifies the planned and constructed housing by type.

Although it is anticipated that the RR- Xing will be completed by 2018, the current street infrastructure has adequate capacity to accommodate the estimated 367 dwelling units by 2023. COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY Twin Creeks TOD was designed and approved to accommodate 200,000 sq. ft. of commercial floor area. To date there has been no commercial development activity in Twin Creeks. Asante has indicated an interest in constructing a 30,000 sq. ft. medical facility at such time as the RR-Xing is improved. At 30,000 sq. ft. the Asante building would serve as a major attractor for additional commercial development. By 2023 it is estimated that 40,000 sq.ft. of commercial space will be constructed in Twin Creeks,with the Asante medical clinic as a major anchor. Page 2 of 3 TRANSPORTATION CAPACITY Presently, the Twin Creeks TOD has a traffic capacity of 6,760 Average Daily Trips (ADT). Any development that generates trips beyond the 6,760 ADT will require completion of the RR-Xing, at which point Twin Creeks will be able to build-out per the approved master plan. At the current level of development Twin Creeks is generating 3,332 Average Daily Trips. The following table illustrates current and projected levels of ADT vs. the trip capacity limit. As illustrated there is sufficient capacity to support residential development at the projected rate. 8000 6,670 ADT TRIP CAP �i• 7000 �e 6000 Y 5000 j A / A 4000 f _, 3000 ••.. /- 2000 1000 I oi 0 WHHHHH By 2018 it is expected,based on the pending grant, that the RR-Xing project will be completed,with some additional capacity. If the rate of development increase capacity could be reached or exceeded prior to completion of the RR-Xing,in which case development would be postponed.
