HOLIDAY MARKET REPORT - Jim Essam

Jim serves on the Board of the Beaverton Saturday Market. This year they decided to have a Holiday Market. It occurred the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Vendors brought crafts and things that they grow. Vendors had good sales. Both customers and vendors felt that the market was a big success & it was decided to continue with the market in 2004. The Beaverton Farmers Market will open this year on May 1st and will continue through the end of October. The Market is now 16 years old and is considered one of the most exceptional markets on the West Coast according to Sunset Magazine.


GENERAL DISCUSSION: NAC VISIBILITY

Don Pullin and Judy Janowitz both residents of Waterhouse stated that the NAC is virtually unknown in their neighborhood. They had a few suggestions. First off Judy is the editor of the Waterhouse quarterly publication that all the homeowners receive. They suggested inserting information about the NAC such as who we are, where we meet, & when we meet. Contact info was also included. Everyone thought this was a great idea. In addition Don suggested that the sign that is placed in their neighborhood be moved to a more visible location such as on Blueridge St. or Waterhouse Av. He also suggested that we need a few more signs.

Hal Oien then suggested something that the board has discussed in the past. Each HOA have 1 seat on the Board so they can report back to their members. They would be an At Large member of the Board.

Denise Averna said that she will have a Title Company find out all the HOA's in the NAC and get a list of officers to contact.


POLICE REPORT - Officer Sashayuch, Beaverton Police Department

Officer Sashayuch gave a brief report on two shootings in Beaverton. The first one happened today at the Mexicali Express restaurant. It was a domestic dispute. The husband shot and killed his wife while she waited in the drive thru lane. Witnesses positively identified the shooter and he was in custody in an hour. The second shooting took place at Murray/Hwy 26. Police suspect it was gang related. The suspect is still outstanding. Officer Sashayuch cautioned everyone to be alert & watch neighborhood activity. These are stressful times.

Officer Sashayuch then fielded questions: Officer Sashayuch then talked about some of the new laws that became effective as of Jan 1st pertaining to DUI and pedestrian crossings. She will give us a complete update next month.


ANNOUNCEMENTS - Rachel Nettleton

COMMITTEE REPORT: CONCERNED CITIZENS OF BEAVERTON / BUS BARN - Hal Oien

Hal was very pleased to announce that LUBA affirmed the decision made by the City of Beaverton against the School District and the CCOB. Yes we lost our appeal on Air Pollution. But the City of Beaverton in August of 2002 amended part of the code that deals with performance standards so now they can request modeling on Air Pollution if they want. This is important for us in case the BSD re-applies in the future for a Bus Barn.

For those curious to see what's happening at the Bus Barn site please go there from 6-7am on a school day and see for yourselves. There is a tremendous amount of noise and diesel smell. If you can smell odor at the fence line the BSD is breaking the law. Please write a letter and complain to Mayor Drake and The City Council. Save Our Neighborhood and Kids.

David James is planning on attending the upcoming City Council Meeting. He asked if he could represent the NAC before the City Council on matters pertaining to The Bus Barn and explaining to the City Council the Letter from the DEQ which is very technical. There was unanimous acceptance in favor of this idea.

Barb Sem suggested that the NAC and CCOB need to start getting the word out that we want a school and no Bus Barn. The NAC and CCOB need to also start pushing the idea of building a bus barn at the school administration site and putting a new administration building next to the new school. The City of Beaverton offered to sell to the BSD a parcel of land located on the corner of 160th and TV HWY that could easily store 40 or more buses but the BSD didn't want to purchase the property. Lets disperse the buses. It was decided that for now we would write a letter only asking the BSD not to appeal the LUBA decision.


COMMITTEE REPORT: 170th/173rd IMPROVEMENT PROJECT PAC MEETING - Julie Rockford

The January 8th PAC meeting was cancelled due to weather. The next meeting will be January 22nd at 5:30pm at the Elmonica School Library. The meeting is open for public input at the beginning so please come and voice your concerns. The PAC is currently involved in evaluating criteria to reassess the goals of the project. Julie would like to get more public input from citizens and PTO members from Elmonica and Five Oaks schools.


The meeting was adjourned by Rachel at 8:45pm.

Minutes Respectfully Submitted by David Kamin, NAC Recorder

ANNOUNCEMENTS - Rachel Nettleton

NAC NEWS COMMUNITY NEWS VOLUNTEERS LAND USE HEARINGS OTHER COMMUNITY ISSUES OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WASHINGTON COUNTY


GUEST SPEAKER: Mayor Rob Drake

The Mayor began by complimenting us on the large turnout for the meeting. He then proceeded to tell everyone about the city of Beaverton and the programs & services that it provides to its residents... For more information on any of these topics you can look at the City's website at www.ci.beaverton.or.us or call at 503-526-2222.

The City is financially sound.

Concerns and Challenges include annexation of unincorporated areas. Developers and property owners in the Bethany area are talking about a double majority annexation. The City is waiting for this to happen before they start the planning process. If the unincorporated areas of Washington County that abut the city are annexed including Bethany, Aloha, and Raleigh Hills the City would now have 2,500,000 residents to serve and take care of!!! The City wants to gradually annex so that the high service level can be maintained.

Code Changes: Omnibus cleanup that is slowly winding its way through the process.

Questions for the Mayor: The Mayor then explained that if some of these answers seem a little wishy-washy, it's because if a new hearing comes up he needs to avoid ex parte contact (meaning he can't really discuss the issue, since he needs to be as objective as possible if there is another hearing).


POLICE REPORT - Officer Shaw, Beaverton Police Department

Officer Shaw handed out crime statistics for the NAC. Vehicle theft is up again so please remove or hide all valuables. Thieves are particularly looking for items that carry personal information so they can steal your identity. Another place where fraud is occurring is at ATM machines. Please remove your receipt and take your card. If you notice someone loitering or getting too close to you while you are using the machines it might be best to stop what you're doing and return later or go to a more secure location.

Officer Shaw then fielded questions: Apparently there has been an ongoing dispute between some of the neighbors living on Salix Terrace. The Beaverton Police have been involved. There are accusations of ID theft, & knife wielding by some juveniles. So far they haven't been locked up which has caused consternation by the neighbors. The police are working with the affected neighbors and are encouraging them to be vigilant. Stay tuned for an update at our next meeting.


COMMITTEE REPORT: CONCERNED CITIZENS OF BEAVERTON / BUS BARN - Hal Oien

The application for a Bus Barn is dead for the moment. In December LUBA found in favor of the City of Beaverton and denied the BSD appeal. The BSD did not appeal their decision to a higher court so that application is dead. The BSD currently is parking about 50 buses on site and polluting the air with diesel exhaust as well as disturbing surrounding homeowners in the early morning hours. As the Mayor just suggested we need to turn to the DEQ to enforce the law.


COMMITTEE REPORT: 170th/173rd IMPROVEMENT PROJECT - Todd Watkins

The PAC met on February 5th. Pat Mitchell and Julie Rockford made a presentation. The group is considering 6 alternatives. Two of the alternatives they must consider while the other two are on the table. The PAC is still open for ideas. At the time of the meeting the options had not been posted on the county website. They're currently being engineered. They will then be ranked and scored. The county is hopefully going to have an open house to the public in early April. They will be looking at all the options including the no build option. The next PAC meeting will be held on March 4th at Elmonica School Cafeteria at 5:30pm


GUEST SPEAKER: Constance Beaumont - Oregon Community Protection Coalition (503) 295-5827

This is a group that advocates Environmental Protection. It's a coalition of environmental groups such as 1000 Friends, & Audobon. The coalition is opposed to Initiative 36, the so-called "Son of 7". This refers to Ballot Measure 7 which was supported by a majority of Oregon voters in 2002 and then thrown out on a technicality by the courts. It requires the government to pay private owners for lost value if zoning or land use restrictions reduces their property value. It invalidates zoning protections and applies to all new and existing land use regulations. A copy of the initiative was passed-out and a short slide presentation was made demonstrating the positive things that have come from Oregon's land use laws.

For further information on this topic, visit their website at www.protectoregon.org


GUEST SPEAKER: Doug Campbell - Representing Lindquist Development

The property is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Walker Rd and 173rd. It consists of a total of approximately 8 acres. A large portion of the property is wetland so only 3.7 acres are suitable for development. The property is zoned R/7 and can support 40 housing units. The development application will be a PUD or planned unit development. This enables the developer to spread the density around to save a portion of the resource in this case the wetlands. The Developer intends to construct 28 single family residences on lots ranging primarily from 3500 - 4500 square feet. The average square footage of the homes will be in the range of 2100 - 2400sf. There is only one entry and exit point and that is located across from the Merewood neighborhood and aligned with the Walker Rd entry. The Developer has already had a pre application meeting with city planners and will submit their application to the City in March. The Developer plans to vacate the right of way to 170th that crosses the property.

After making a short presentation Mr. Campbell answered questions from those in attendance: One resident indicated concern about fire, and the need for alternative access - possibly a crash gate. Another suggestion for the development project was to have low-level street lighting due to the close proximity to the wetland.


Rachel thanked everyone for staying so late. The meeting was adjourned at 9:50pm.

ANNOUNCEMENTS - Rachel Nettleton

NAC NEWS COMMUNITY NEWS VOLUNTEERS LAND USE HEARINGS OTHER COMMUNITY ISSUES OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WASHINGTON COUNTY METRO Attention to Board Members: We need to meet soon.


GUEST SPEAKER: John Nelson - Mitchell Nelson Group

John is a land use planning consultant. He is representing the Summit View Covenant Church with their land use application with the city of Beaverton. This is a Type 3 application. It involves a zone change from Office Commercial (OC) to Community Service (CS). The property location is 15900 SW Regatta Ln. (158th/Walker Rd). The current use for the property is a gymnastics building. The property is 1 acre in size and has an 11000 square foot building. The church intends to use the property primarily for Sunday worship. The greatest usage will occur from Saturday evening to Sunday evening. There is only one entrance/exit to the property and that is off of Regatta Lane. During the week there will be staff in attendance. They are not planning to house any kind of school or daycare during the week. The Church intends to remodel the interior so that it will be more suitable for church use. The exterior possibly would be painted but otherwise would remain pretty much as-is.

Pastor Mark Johnson explained about the history of the Church.
The Church started 5 years ago with 15 members. Growth in membership has been fueled by the growth in the Bethany area. Worship time is 10:30am Sundays and average attendance is 150 people. During the week members meet at homes. Youth groups also meet at homes. This activity will continue. The National Denomination is located in Chicago and is providing financing for the sale. For more information go to www.covchurch.org.
John Nelson continued...

There are 52 parking places. The city staff is requiring 69 places. The Church has had discussions with Bank of America which owns the adjacent property about using their parking lot on Saturday evenings and on Sunday. Kittleson Traffic Engineers have done a traffic study and have determined that the additional traffic will not exacerbate existing conditions. The Church intends to apply to the City ASAP and expects the public hearing to be in May.The City Planner assigned to this is Scott Whyte.

After the presentation, Jeff Gregor suggested that we check out what uses are allowed in the CS zone. The last time we had an innocent zone change we ended up with The Bus Barn!!! Those in attendance concurred.


POLICE REPORT - Officer Aaron Oberst, Beaverton Police Department

Officer Oberst works 40 hours/week in our NAC. He handed out the crime stats. Car break-ins were the most-reported crime, and they were concentrated in two areas: Woodcreek Apts along Walker Rd and at Ballys gym along Cornell Rd. The typical victim is a single male. The criminal watches the victim remove his wallet and leave it in the car and then proceeds to break-in, usually by breaking a window.

Officer Oberst explained that this is only a misdemeanor crime if the value of the stolen goods is under $700. Even if the criminal is caught they don't face any serious consequences and are sent to Washington County to be booked and then released.

Salix Terrace Update - The problem neighbors have been served a notice of eviction but are still there at this time. The teenage boys have been arrested and released. Clackamas County is currently interested in finding housing for the mother as she has been identified as a witness to a homicide in that county.

ANNOUNCEMENTS - Rachel Nettleton

NAC NEWS COMMUNITY NEWS VOLUNTEERS LAND USE HEARINGS OTHER COMMUNITY ISSUES OTHER ORGANIZATIONS WASHINGTON COUNTY METRO After the announcements were given Rachel introduced Julie Rockford who is the NAC representative on the 170th Road Improvement PAC


170th/173rd IMPROVEMENT PROJECT, PAC MEETING UPDATE - Julie Rockford

Julie began by giving a brief background of the recent history of this project and the NAC involvement. For instance the NAC testified before the Beaverton City Council when they were updating their Transportation Plan. In the Summer of 2002 many NAC members testified before Washington County Planning Commission and Washington County Board of Commissioners. At the latter meeting we were able to get this area designated "a study area". As a result of that designation the County began working with the NAC, held public open houses to gather opinions and eventually organized the current PAC in the summer of 2003. Since then the PAC has been meeting regularly every 4-6 weeks. At the most recent County open house on May 12th the county revealed the 2 options that the PAC is considering. The NAC Board felt that we should try and poll our members at a meeting after the public meeting so that is why we delayed our meeting a week. The City did a NAC wide mailing of postcards advertising this meeting. Tonight we want to find out what those here want.

Jim Essam proposed to separate the vote according to the proximity of your home. That being those in the directly affected area or outside that area. After much discussion the group vetoed that idea and it was decided that each household would get a red sticker and attach it to their preferred option.

Todd Watkins of Washington County brought with him the aerial maps that were present at the public meeting on June 12th and set them up for display in the gym. These maps showed the two proposed routes and some additional options.

The meeting was temporarily adjourned and for the next 45 minutes those in attendance could study the maps, ask questions, and then express their opinion by voting for one of the options.

Vote Tally Alternative 1 - 170th continues north past Elmonica school through the existing road right of way and then angles northwest across the open field.

Alternative 2 - 170th veers west before the school across the property that now has the large trucks parked on it.

For a more exact description please look on the County website. The NAC website will also try and have the two options available to look at.

There was also some discussion about how Julie will vote when the PAC decides on which alternative to select. One of the reasons for having this meeting was to get the pulse of the NAC at least of those that came to the meeting.


Bylaw Update

The NAC Board has been undertaking this year the task of updating our bylaws and making both the Five Oaks and Triple Creek bylaws the same. Copies of each were passed out for criticism and input. One suggestion was to have Section 4 part A read "Once a year in October the Beaverton Neighborhood Office will send out a notice to all households and businesses within the NAC notifying them of the general meeting where a new Board will be convened". Upon further discussion Norma Gregor volunteered to rewrite the Bylaws. They will be presented at a future meeting.


New Business

The next PAC meeting for the 170th road project will occur on June 3rd at 5:30pm at the Elmonica school cafeteria. The PAC will be taking public testimony the first 30 minutes so if you want to testify please arrive early and express your opinion.

May 20th at Metro Council Chambers there will be a hearing on Goal 5 concerning protection of flood plains and critical wildlife habitat.

The April minutes were approved as written. Rachel asked the members to think about topics and speakers for future meetings.


Meeting was adjourned at 8:45pm

Rachel gave the Treasury report - $2,320.97

BCCI REPORT – David James

In August the city of Beaverton will be sponsoring a family friendly activity called "Flicks by the Fountain" at the City Park in Downtown Beaverton. Movies will be shown on an inflatable screen on August 14th, 21st, and 28th. Pre movie entertainment will begin at 7pm and the movies will start at 8:30. The movies will be free. The cost will be covered by sponsorships. More details will be in an upcoming Beaverton City Newsletter.

Beaverton is planning a "Center for Software Innovation", to help grow software businesses. The incubator will help 15 - 25 startups during their first 2 to 3 years. It will provide access to a network of resources and professional expertise, and one-on-one coaching. The hope is that the successful companies will remain in the Beaverton area after they move out of the incubator, creating local jobs. The services will be provided free, but the companies are expected to pay rent. $1.1 Million over three years will be the cost of the non-profit incubator.


TVF&R REPORT – Eric Bokavoy

Eric passed out a flyer giving summer fire safety tips. One of the biggest summer hazards is the use of linseed oil to stain decks etc. The discarded rags can spontaneously ignite and are very volatile. Discard in a metal container. Our NAC had 120 calls last month including 20/fire, 95/medical, and 5/other. Of the medical 50-60 were for chest pains and breathing problems, and 20-30 were for car accidents. This is normal activity for the month.

Attendees asked several questions this month:


CPO 7 REPORT – David Shettles

The main speakers were from ODOT. They were discussing the Oregon Transportation Initiative. This concerns repairing bridges. Also the long awaited Hwy 26 improvement westbound from Hwy 217 to Cornell Rd is about to begin.

THPRD will develop a park on the PCC Rockcreek campus. In the future there are plans for an athletic center with a pool.


New Business

Holly Issak last month nominated her neighbors for a NAC recognition award that is given out by the City. It was rejected because they are individuals and not a NAC. We had some discussion about what we could do to say thanks. Some suggestions included a plaque, gift certificates from business. It was decided that this will be discussed at the upcoming board meeting.


Old Business

Norma Gregor has edited our bylaws. Interested parties can get an emailed copy from Rachel. Some hard copies were handed out.


Meeting was adjourned at 9:04pm

Minutes were respectfully submitted by David Kamin, NAC Recorder
