14 | 11/23/10 Panel | Street lighting | PreWeave | [NAME] | 1308 W Burnside | CO 10-184882 | Street lighting required to meet the ornamental lighting district standards for this location. | 17.68.A | Leave the existing SW 13th Ave street light undisturbed. | Owner has an approved Land Use review for the Weave Building. Due to the economic climate, the owner is renovating the existing 2-story building on the site. The remodel budget has been kept to a minimum with the knowledge that this is a temporary solution. The financial implications of fulfilling the ornamental street lighting requirement would be detrimental to the viability of the project, as the projected installation costs represent a substantial percentage of the project budget.Furthermore, infrastructure improvements made now would be a waste of resources as items will be removed and reinstalled, replaced or upgraded at the time of the Weave Building's construction. If "substantially enhancing the character of the district" is the aim of this code, it is worth considering the contribution a renovated building with 5 retail storefronts and office space would have on the vitality of the neighborhood. | WITHDRAWN

The required improvement would require the applicant to pave a section in the middle of an unpaved road, but also construct stormwater retention and treatment swales along the frontage and to the corner of Garden Home Rd, crossing and providing benefit to multiple propertoes that are not associated with this application. The improvements are unsuitable and unreasonable because it would result in an impracticable maintenance scenario for the Coty, having to maintain the edges of a 100 foot asphalt section. The costs of up to $144,075 are also economically unsuitable and unreasonable as it would more than offset potential profitability associated with the residential construction. | The decision of the PWBA is to deny the appeal and to direct staff to work with the applicant over the next 6 weeks to see if alternatives can be  worked out.  If they cannot be worked out, they may appeal those decisions directly to the board.

The cost of the extension would be borne entirely by the builder of the two new single family residences that will be replacing the one single family residence currently on the subject site.  The construction of the sidewalk within the existing and dedicated rigt-of-way will provide the opportunity for future street improvements (curb & surface stormwater facility) along the site's frontage in the event that a local improvement district (LID) is  ever formed.  Based on the size of the lots on this block and the zoning for this area, it is not likely there would be an opportunity for further street frontage improvements without the formation of an LID. | Denied with the recommendation that the applicant explore alternative stormwater conveyance methods with City Staff.

The proposed design will not impact SW Nevada Ct. Any use of the street by the lot will be rare and inconsequential.  The only logical route to access the lot will be via SW 3rd.  Improvements to SW 3rd are not required.  While street width is not standard, it is a low volume street that has functioned as is for many years.  Further, widening SW 3rd for only the frontage of the lot in issue provides almost no public benefit particulartly when the improvement tapers back to its current width at the lot boundary. | Required improvements will render this project economically infeasible and defeats the purpose of promoting infill. | Approved with conditions based on engineering meeting that design proposed in Attachment B of the appeal [NAME].

The cost of the extension would be borne entirely by the builder of the two new single family residences that will be replacing the one single family residence currently on the subject site.  The construction of the sidewalk with the existing and dedicated rigt-of-way will provide the opportunity for future street improvements (curb & surface stormwater facility) along the site's frontage in the event that a local improvement district (LID) is  ever formed.

Provide street trees along the sidewalk bet Beech Court and the large Beech tree to the north.  Other enhancements as may be mutually agreeable to the City and property owner. | Owner believes that the existing sidewalk substantially satisfies the Portland Pedestrian Design Guide and should be allowed to remain as follows: 1) There are no existing hazards or adverse pedestrian conditions which get fixed by reconstruction of the sidewalk.  2) Demolition and reconstruction results in unnecessary expense, consumpton of energy, and resources with no measurable benefit to existing conditions.  3) Enforcing the planter island on this property owner results in an unfaiir distribution of costs.  Based on existing neigborhood build-out and development, it is highly unlikely that the envisioned walkway can be built on most other properties in the neighborhood.  The proposed alternative provides the following benefits of the prescribed City Walkway standard.  1) Additional right-of-way provided.  2) Street trees to improve aesthetic and environmental conditions. | Approved based on maintaining the consistency of the sidewalks along the  street.  Confirming that the applicant will be requirede to grant the 4' dedication and plant street trees behind the existing sidewalk on the south section of the development.

The Portland Pedestrian Design Guide recommends a 15-foot sidewalk corridor for an arterial street in a pedestrian district. |  | A standard 12-foot sidewalk corridor is proposed on NE Tillamook that consists of a 0.5 foot curb, 4-foot furnishing zone, 6-foot pedestrian through zone, and a 1.5 foot frontage zone.  A 12-foot sidewalk corridor would require a 3.5' right of way dedication. | A 15-foot sidewalk corridor does not seem practical for our proposed 47-unit residential building located between two large-mixed use buildings that both have 12-foot sidewalk corridors.  Both of these mixed-use projects were approved after the Pedestrian Design Guide was released with frontage on NE Tillamook that have 12-foot sidewalk corridors.  There is not a single frontage on NE Tillamook within the Hollywood Pedestrian District that has a 15-foot sidewalk corridor.  The Pedestrian Design Guide also recommends a 12-foot sidewalk corridor for City Walkways and for streets where right of way width is 60.0 feet.  NE Tillamook frontage is a  City Walkway with a right of way width of 60.0 feet. | Approved with conditions the requested relief with a 12' sidewalks required on both frontages, the conditon of identical curb extensions to match the library and no sidewalk café with providing an 8' clear pedestrian pathway on NE Tillamook.

No additional ROW dedication.  Within the Colonial ROW, no additional ROW dedication, leave the existing frontage improvemens in place. | The amount of right-of-way dedication necessary to bring both street frontages up to standard would have a significant impact on both lots.  The current Pedestrian Corridor along N Colonial Ave. frontage is 4' wide curb tight sidewalk.  The additional ROW dedication would result in a new curb setback 16' from the centerline of the existing ROW and allow for an 8' wide stormwater swale, 6' sidewalk and 0.5' buffer. The existing curb is 11' from the centerline; the required improvements would create a 5' off-set from the new curb to the existing curb along the frontage of the property to the south. With a new 8' planter/swale, the new sidewalk would be off-set 9' from the existing sidewalk to the south.  The properties direct across the street and to the south on N Colonial are all fully developed so there is little opportunity for additional ROW dedications & future improvements that would align with the improvements that would be required for the subject site to bring frontage up to standard. The Blandena ROW is currently 25' wide and not improved. The additional ROW dedication and associated improvements needed to bring this frontage up to standard would result in a sidewalk that terminates at the west property line of 1630 N Blandena.  The level of vehicular traffic along this section both N Blandena and N Colonial is likely to always be limited due to the topography and the established street grid of the immediate surrounding area.  [NAME] along this site's frontage is not feasible and that the combined sewer in N Colonial already has capacity issues. | Approved with conditions.  Approve requested relief/alternate solution (including off-site stormwater management proposal) with PWAP recommending to BDS staff a requirement to either: 1) Require the developer to preserve existing trees.  2) Require the developer to plant new trees (as close to the back of the sidewalk as possible/at typical street tree spacing standards).  Additional property dedication may be required along N Blandena to accommodate the proposed alternative ROW improvements.

[NAME] is agreeable to a more sensible development pattern of sidewalks with an asphalt connection returning to street as exists throughout the neighborhood and appears to have been the standard accepted of recent and for quite some time.  It would not make sense to require storm facilities only because of construction of curbs.  The Brentwood Darlington Area happens to consist of a river rock and gravel soil that has some of if not the best infiltration rates in the entire Ciry of Portland.  It will place unrealistic economic burden to a very limited scope project making it entirely infeasible. | Approved based on the condition that the applicant must dedicate 3-ft of property for public right-of-way puposes to accommodate the future full street improvement and construct a separated 6-ft sidewalk along the site's SE Nehalem frontage.  The applicant will not be required to dedicate property or improve the site's SE 57th Ave frontage.

The proposed asphalt path is in keeping with the character of the rest of NW Skyline Blvd.  The next nearest pedestrian path is 3 miles to the East as required for the massive Forest Heights subdivision.  These are also asphalt rather than concrete.  The area surrounding 9350 NW Skyline is RF  or R20, essentially farmland with virtually zero development potential - no neighboring sidewalks will likely ever connect to the one built here.   The proposed asphalt path would provide the same  benefit as the concrete in that bicyclists and pedestrians would have a space to be off of the main roadway for a large percentage of this frontage. | APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS.  Approve the requested relief, subject to the following conditions: 1)  The improve hard-surface pathway shall be separated from the roadway; 5-ft in width & shall satisfy ADA requirements for maximum grade.  The [NAME] shall commence at the western end of the site frontage and extend easterly (approximately 200-ft in length) to the point where excavation of the embankment will be necessary. 2) This decision is not valid until the appellant provides authorization from the current property owner that he is representing said property owner.

It may require an 8-foot wide swale in lieu of the 4-foot wide furnishing zone. Dedication will be required along 109th Ave. in order to provide sufficient right-of-way and Pedestrian Corridor width for improvements. | 17.88.020 | Proposal to fill the current pot holes with asphalt material on paved surfaces and on non-paved surfaces.  The proposal is to fill the current pot holes with 3/4" minus gravel material.   Since the non-paved surface has a number of potholes, the applicant is also proposing to level out the street simultaneously as the fill pot hole areas with gravel. | Majority of Pedestrian Corridor is built at a configuratiion less than current standard and the proposal matches existing improvements.  Infill of single family for three or fewer contiguous lots where the majority of lots have been developed and there is no pattern of existing sidewalks in the area.

Construct pedestrian corridor to (8.5-6.5)". | 17.88.020 | Applicant prefers to construct NSFR in a manner that is consistent with the character of the neighborhood; an NSFR with a driveway connecting to the street.  At most, a concrete pedestrian connection (sidewalk) along the frontage could be provided. | There is no public storm system that fronts this lot for the overflow from the required stormwater swale.  This would result in a requirement for a stormwater extension approximately 330 feet in length which will be costly to the builder and would only serve a  single frontage on a street with future development potential of only one parcel.  These improvements would not be consistent with the existing conditions of the surrounding properties in the immediate vicinity and beyond. | APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS.  Approve the appeal to construct option 3 with conditions of: improvement under an infill public works permit, submittal of waivers of remonstrance, street trees in the space between the pavement and sidewalk, and stormwater runoff causes no increased drainage impacts to downstream property owners.

To comply with requirement, appellant will be required to reconstruct the frontage to the current standard with a 4-foot planting strip/furnishing zone and an 8-foot sidewalk, and dedicate 5 feet right-of-way on NW Vaughn Street. |  | Applicant proposes to maintain the existing pedestrian corridor as part of the project. | Negative health impact on the two large pine trees located along the southern property line with confirmation from an arborist submitted by the applicant.  There are existing development constraints that make it impractical and unreasonable to comply with PBOT's requirements.   A recent development in the area was not required to comply with the sidewalk corridor standards.  While other recent developments in this area have improved the sidewalk corridor to the 15-foot standard, those projects are much larger in scale than this project. | DENIED.  Deny the requested relief based on the fact that the site can accommodate the sidewalk within its design proposal, and this area has a City goal of increased pedestrian activity.

This also allowed the two westbound traffic lanes to be widened, and retained the westbound bicycle lane and south curb parking.  Neighborhood on-street parking capacity expanded by changing parallel parking to diagonal on both 10th and 11th Avenues.  Applicant proposes the same approach to create the needed ROW improvements within the existing 60 feet ROW is most appropriate for the Jefferson Street block between 11th & 12th, for a combination of public and private benefits. | The proposed project location is ideally suited to contribute to this high density residential goal due to its immediate adjacency to multiple bus lines and the Portland Streetcar, its location only 3 blocks from the edge of the PSU campus and its proximity to services.  The density of these nearby resources is particularly beneficial to the city and residents alike in allowing highly reduced vedhicle trip generation from the building. | APPROVED.  Approve proposed relief and alternative ROW design for SW Jefferson.  Proposed re-striping of parking along SW 12th is subject to approval by the City Traffic Engineer.  Approval by PWAP is based on consistency with adjacent and similar section of SW Jefferson and context of downtown constrained site conditions.

Eliminating the sidewalk will allow the street improvements (pavement, curb, stormwater planter) to be shifted to the east as far as possible with the public right of way.  Also it has been determined that with the proposed sidewalk and the proposed street grades, a wheelchair ramp cannot be constructed at the intersection of SW Virginia  Place and SW Nevada Street that meets ADA standards.  It appears that an alternative ramp design can be constructed if there is no sidewalk along SW [NAME].  It should be noted that no other properties to the south of the applicant's property is developed and the proposed sidewalk would only benefit one home on SW Virginia Place. | Eliminating the public sidewalk will allow the proposed public street improvements within SW Virginia Place to be shifted as far east as possible.  This is important because the neighboring properties to the west have constructed improvements within the existing right-of-way.  These improvements will be impacted by the proposed public street improvements required.   Eliminating the sidewalk along the  east side of SW Virginia Place will allow the street improvements to be shifted and will not  impact the neigboring property improvements. | APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS. Approve the appeal as proposed with the condition of the applicant providing waivers of remonstrance based on the infeasibility of construction of sidewalk ramp and other topographical constraints. Project to comply with all other requirements of the City Engineer and BES Chief Engineer.

There is no curb or sidewalk anywhere along the entire length of SW 4th Ave.  Nearly all of the lots on SW 4th Ave. are developed, it is unlikely that there will be additional frontage improvements in the future.  As a result, the subject site would most likely have the only improved frontage along SW 4th Ave. | APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS.

54 | 09/11/12 Panel | pavement, curb and sidewalk | [NAME] | [NAME] | 16124 SE Alder St. | 12-117198 CO | Requirements to reconstruct curb, sidewalk and pavement and 5-foot dedication on SE 162nd and SE Alder. | 17.88.020 | Proposed Design: 1) SE 162nd would be constructed to City standards with an expanded sidewalk per plan and tree well cut outs instead of the landscape strip.  A small retaining wall would be constructed along the westside of the new sidewalk; 2) SE Alder sidewalk and 1.5-foot furnishing landscape strip on the southside sidewalk would remain.  A new 4-foot wide landscape strip would be constructed along the northern edge of the sidewalk for the length of the property.  The catch basin currently in the street would remain in the landscape strip.  The fire hydrant would be moved into the landscape strip; 3) The Century Link fiber optic cable pole that is in the sidewalk will remain; 4) The property owner shall dedicate 5 feet of private property to the City of Portland along the length of SE 162nd; 5) The property owner proposes a 1.5-foot dedication along SE Alder as the solution was to move the landscape strip to the north of the existing sidewalk. | The applicant has met and consulted with PBOT several times. There was consensus on the proposed design except for the fiber optic pole and the Alder Street dedication was not part of the discussion.  1) After consultation with the Century Link Senior Design Engineer, it was noted that the service cannot be interrupted.  A hot splice would need to be routed to Stark Street that would include another power meter and significant fiber cable.  A city approve plan would need to be designed.  Century Link had moved poles in cooperation with the City previously but moving this particular pole 3 feet would create immense difficulty for all affected.  2) The existing site square feet is 61, 897.50 sq ft which allows 61 housing units under the R1 Zone.  A 1.5 foot dedication along SE [NAME] would allow the site to remain over 60,000 square feet. | APPROVED.                                               Approve the requested relief.

Improvements include curb and sidewalk replacement, closing existing driveways that are not being used and addition of street trees where feasible. | This project is proposed solely to accommodate the TriMet Light Rail.  PECO Manufacturing is losing significant building and site area and is proposing the building addition to help compensate for that loss.  Expansion of the business or facilities is not proposed at this time or as pat of this permit.

PBOT is also requiring three ornamental lights (two at the corner and one along the NW Everett Frontage [mid-block]) and to plant street trees to meet current standards. | 17.080.020 | Applicant  proposes an alternative design that balances the need to improve ROW within the River District.  Applicant's proposal is to retain as much of the existing 12-foot sidewalk as practical because it is in good condition and will not detract from the River District when incorporated into the proposal.  Applicant proposes to replace the sidewalk in the two areas where it will remove the curb cuts.  The new concrete will match the existing pattern for consistency.  Applicant proposes to replace the sidewalk at the corner of NW 9th and [NAME] to meet ADA requirements, and to retain the current sidewalks that are not impacted by the curb cuts of the ADA compliance.  Appilcant proposes to install two new twin ornamental street lights at the corner of NW 9th and [NAME] , but to retain the existing street light mid-block on NW 9th Ave. and comply with the street tree requirements. | Applicant believes that the facts and argrumentst they made with  the Appeal Panel support the Board's approval of  Applicant's alternative scope of public improvements. | APPROVED.

This would be the time to redesign the sidewalk that actually works for those who use it. | [NAME]. Deny the appeal.  Direct staff to consider reducing right of way dedication and sidewalk construction at the limit of the sign as long as it can accommodate the 4' furnishing and 6' pedestrian through zones.
58 | 10/09/12 Panel | pavement, curb and sidewalk | SE 45th Ave | [NAME] | 6806 SE 45th Ave | PW 12-182593 | The current pedestrian corridor on SE 45th Ave is 7' from  the face of the curb to the property line.  A 12' pedestrian corridor is the current standard for a Neighborhood Collector.   Transit access Street, City Walkway  & City Bikeway Service Street.  This will accommodate a 6' wide sidewalk separated from the 6" curb by a 4" wide planting strip with a 6" frontage zone (area back of the sidewalk to the property line).  In order to accommodate the 12' wide sidewalk corridor, a 5' ROW dedication is needed.  The ROW dedication and reconstruction of the pedestrian corridor to (4.5-6-1.5) must occur before the  building permit can be released. | 17.88.020 | The proposed sidewalk design maintains the existing configuratrion.  The existing  driveway will be removed and replaced with a 5' sidewalk matching the adjacent and existing sidewalk configuration.  A new driveway will be built to current PBOT requirements.  The additional approximately 42' of linear sidewalk will remain as is with no changes; the existing sidewalk was recently  replaced and is in excellent condition. | Majority of the pedestrian corridor is built at a confriguration less than the current standard and the proposal matches existing improvements.  The dedication and improvement of the required ROW also has natural resource constraints.  Seven healthy mature pine trees ranging from 18-20" in diameter are currently on the applicant's propery within 2-3" of the existing sidewalk  The current standard requires a 4' planting strip.  The intention of a planter strip is to buffer pedestrians from the street and provide shelter  and shade through the planting of street trees.  The proposed alternative  to keep the existing configuration would not provide planting strip. However, the seven trees are directly adjacent to the existing sidewalk and provide for year-round shade and shelter.  The alternative design would:                         1) match the existing adjacent configuration on a majority of the street;                                                               2) not require wasteful removal of a brand new sidewalk;                                    3) maintain easy access for Tri-Met riders;                                                               4) retain seven healthy mature trees that provide pedestrian shelter and shade. | [NAME].                                                Deny the appeal for dedication and approve the appeal for the sidewalk reconstruction.  [NAME] dedication documents be submitted by applicant prior to building permit issuance.

The site is currently 51' deep, the 6' dedication would take this R5 zoned lot out of conformanace with the lot depth standards and would require a complete redesign for the dwelling currently under permit review. | APPROVED.

There is no forseeable development on this site or adjacent properties.. | This project is intended  to be a replacement of the existing house .  There is no significant change of development on the site.  It is not likely  the the proposed house on this lot or in other adjacent lots will be removed to allow future development with design to comply with the underlying lot width of 25'.  Several very recent residential developments within the immediate vicinity have not been designed to comply with the minimum lot width of 25' , nor have they been required to provide a 15' wide sidewalk corridor.  Even though the underlyning 25' lot width is possible for future development, most of the recently completed developments have continued to utilize a 50', 75' or even 100' lot width, with no improvements connecting the property to the street except for a new asphalt apron transition to connect the driveway to the street.  No curb, swale or sidewalk has been included.  It is the applicant's opinion that requiring a 15' wide sidewalk corridor composed of 6" curb,  8' swale, 6' sidewalk and 6" frontage zone on this property would be inconsistent and out of character with recently completed adjacent development. | APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS.

The proposed public sidewallk on Rivergate will provide a curb ramp at the corner of N Rivergate and N Ramsey that would allow for pedestrian crossing to the existing sidewalk on the north side of [NAME].  This existing sidewalk serves a bus stop existing businesses along [NAME]. | A sidewalk on [NAME] will not provide any pedestrian connectivity beyond applicant's property because [NAME] is being vacated at the rail crossing.  The north side of the project site has no pedestrian access due to security fencing and a 5 spur rail yard.  [NAME] will become a dead end at the east end of the applicant's property. | APPROVED.

The walkway would be an 8' wide asphalt path.  The property owner would then be responsible for long term maintenance of the path.  The path would then align with the master plan that [NAME]  has along Elrod slough and would double as access for MCDD maintenance and pedestrian access. | By providing one access path it eliminates the need for side by side pathways.  One in the ROW and one on MCDD property for maintaining the slough.  The path also fits into MCDD master plan for Elrod slough and provides a pedestrian friendly multi use train along the south side of the slough. | APPROVED.

II - The proposed design is an 1804 SE single-family residene replacing an exising 1304 SF single-family residence on a single lot where the majority of lots have been developed and there is no pattern of existing sidewalks in the area.                               III - The ROW has no topographic, existing development, and natural resource constraints.                              IV - The existing road has no curb and it is not practicable to construct standard improvements or interim path. | APPROVED.

Implementation of the improvements required would result in a hardship to an industrial use which is not conducive to the goals of IG1 zone, which is to promote viable industrial properties as the main goal.                                                                                                                           The curb, furnishing zone with landscaping, pedestrian through zone are in conflict with the location of the Hawthorne Bridge structural columns and the access to the garage door of the warehouse and its loadding zone.                                                The pedestrian improvements should be safe and sidewalk should be designed and built to be free of hazards to minimize conflicts with obstacles and vehicular traffic.  Applicant cited that this is not the correct location to encourage pedestrian traffic because it will be directly through the path of heavy trucks and it does not  have a clear destination.  Location is also not feasible to add landscaping strip and overpass as any landscaping located directly underneath the bridge overpass would likely have trouble growing due to a lack of direct sunlight and irrigation.      These improvements are also not feasible based on financial reasons. | DENIED.   Deny the appeal; require construction of 7’ curbtight sidewalk instead of previously required frontage section.

Granting the easement for street trees will meet the request of the Urban Forester. | Street frontage on the entire block is improved with curb and sidewalk and that all of the lots on the north side of the block are developed to full density.                                                                                                                                                                  The site is currently 62.75' deep, the dedication options provided in the administrative appeal decision would affect the setback & lot coverage compliance for the design currently under building permit review and would require a complete redesign. | APPROVED.                                      Approve appeal; setbacks to be taken from property line as opposed to easement.  Notification of the requirements late in the process has no bearing on this decision.

Appellant is also required to sign a waiver of remonstrance for future street improvements. (3-0)
80 | 01/15/13 Panel | pavement, curb, sidewalk and stormwater facilities | SE Ogden St | [NAME] / [NAME] | 5732 SE Ogden St. | PW 13-102886 | Improvements would consist of additional pavement to 13 feet from ROW centerline, 8 feet of public stormwater swale, 6 feet of sidewalk and leaving a 0.5-foot frontage zone behind sidewalk. | 33 and 17 | Applicant requested that the requirement for frontage improvements for SE Ogden be waived and sign a non-remonstrance waiver instead. | SE Ogden is currently has a 60' right-of-way with 22' pavement, which is more than adequate for a residential neighborhood and works well for this community.                                                   The requested improvements will be very costly given the fact that there are no frontage improvements in the 6 block vicinity of these lots.                  Appellant will sign a letter of non-remonstrance to improve the frontage or form a Local Improvements District. | APPROVED WITH CONDITIONS.

The alternate design is requested because the subject site is 100' from the intersection & the frontage improvements would be isolated for an undetermined period of time.  [NAME] does not function as a through street due to the parking lot at the intersection of SW Canby & 34th Ave. | The alternate improvements are proposed due to the classification of SW Capitol Hwy & existing topographical constraints.  The full standard improvements along the site's frontage would likely remain isolated, without a connection to improvements to the north or south, and  would provide limited benefit to pedestrians.  The widened shoulder as proposed will provide a temporary but improved alternative for pedestrian access along the roadway and will allow a more comprehensive street plan in the future that results in a more connected pedestrian system. | Denied. Deny the appeal.  Applicant to construct sidewalk (only) and provide dedication (up to 14-ft) to accommodate future street/appropriate stormwater management facility.  Applicant to provide area survey (min) to Public Works staff for consideration of potential r.o.w. dedication reduction. (5-0)

The plans showed a 6-foot wide sidewalk, which can be constructed without retaining walls with a 12-15 inch thickened back edge and fencing behind the sidewalk.   No environmental impacts and no retaining wall will be required if the sidewalk is approved to 6 feet wide with a 12-15 inch thickened back edge as required with this application. | Sidewalk greater than 6 feet will extend beyond the top of the existing gabion wall and a retaining wall approximately 4-6 feet tall will be needed along the back of the sidewalk that will impact environmental c-zone  during construction from the end of walk in the northwest corner of the site where the existing terraced gabion wall are located running east. | Approved with conditions.

The most feasible location to provide a retro-fit storm water collection system is along the east property line.  A schematic site layout indicates that a 6' wide grassy swale can be installed adjacent to the proposed new asphalt area.  The overall length of the proposed swales is 90 feet long with check dams at 15 feet on center. The appellant proposed to provide a ditch inlet catch basin or beehive type overflow structure at the end of the swale with a connection to the existing combined sanitary sewer line in 6th Ave.  Preliminary City PAC calculation indicate that the proposed grassy swale will meet Hierarchy # 1 for the 2yr and10yr storm events.  Assuming an onsite infiltration rate of 2"/hr can be achieved.  If this infiltration cannot be achieved the proposed swale will be installed to meet water quality and detention requirements to the maximum extent practicable.  The proposed retro fit will improve the existing runoff condition, meet the city requirements to the maximum extent practicable and maintain the overall character of the surrounding neighborhood.  The appellant request is relief from the full street frontage improvements and standard City of Portland Pedestrian Guidelines. | Approved with conditions.                   Approve the appeal subject to the following conditions: - 6-ft sidewalk  - Paved section shall be min 20-ft wide (from site driveway to SE Nehalem - Appropriate stormwater management facility to be reviewed during Public Works  - Existing/proposed planters within r.o.w. abutting subj site to be reviewed/approved with [NAME] (4-0)

There are only two larger lots that could be developed with an increase in density.  These improvements would be completely isolated for an undetermined period of time without the formation of LID. | Approved with conditions.              Approve the requested relief with the requirement of waivers of remonstrance for the property.  Recommend that street trees be considered, as approved by the City Forester within the ROW.

The east side of the street is high density.  Sidewalk will be isolated in the neighborhood if installed.  Pedestrian will have to cross the street to use the 85-feet of sidewalk.  This is not a through street. There is no sideawalk but curbs only after the turn onto [NAME].  These requirements would make this project economically infeasible. | Approved.                                      Approve the appeal as proposed with no improvements required; waivers of remonstrance will be required for this development.

It is very unlikely that the properties on both sides of the subject site will be widened to match the required improvements.                    - Neighboring property on the west side of the subject site is developed with a garage located right at the current right-of-way line.  The property to the east has a mature hedge at the property line with a detached garage located right behind the hedge.                                                                   - The requested dedication & realignment of the existing sidewalk will result in the new sidewalk terminating into the side of the garage to the west & the hedge to the east creating an odd alignment with no opttion for matching up in the future.                                                              - the proposed plan includes the retention of an existing 12" Hawthorne tree at the west end of the frontage within 9' of the existing ROW line and a future rain garden at the south east corner of the site. Due to top slope of the site, this is the most practical location for the rain garden but the location would need to change as a result of the dedication & reconfirguration. | Continue appeal for 2 weeks; requirement of at least 2 street trees.  Staff to work with the applicant for creating an acceptable solution.                                                                                                                                            Approved.  04/09/2013                             Approve the appeal as proposed.  Street trees will be requested in a location to be determined by the City Forester.

And then let any street water continue to drain down the street as it already does now.  Also proposes to not install sidewalks as there are no other sidewalks on the street.  The cost of these improvements would also make developing this small odd shaped lot cost prohibitive. | The main reason to not do sidewalks is there are no other sidewalks on this street.  Putting sidewalk here would look out of place in this neighborhood.  Most of the lots are already developed on this street, so there is not a  lot of potential of creating new sidewalks on the street. | Approved.                                                     The panel's decision is based on the findings that constructing the standard improvements are infeasible due to the limited potential of additional development along SE [NAME] and conditions of the existing ROW (privately maintained street, mid-block location and slope of the site).

[NAME] on behalf of TPL | 7313 NE Columbia | PW 13-135412 | Requirement of 30% design improvements for the proposed Comprehensive Plan Change and Zone Change application. |  | Proposal to utilize the existing facilities to meet the current needs. | At this time, there is no proposed land use activity or change in use for the southern portion of Colwood Golf Course that abuts [NAME].  As such, the applicant is proposing that the existing condition remain as is until such time the adjacent property is developed.  [NAME] is proposing that the improvements be conditioned upon redevelopment of the 90 acre parcel that is to remain as [NAME].   This will allow ultimate improvements to be completed once and in harmony with the overall vision for the open space that will be articulated through a master plan process that engages the community in the design of the facilities that will serve them.  Furthermore this gives the City the opportunity to more closely study the Alderwood/Cully/Columbia intersection and determine an appropriate long-term solution for pedestrians, vehicles and bicyclist. | Approved.                                                    Approve the appeal as proposed to not provide conceptual design plans for the portions of the property that will remain as OS, based on the unique circumstances of the site.
