The attached draft will be mailed in the next month to the residents and property owners in the neighborhood with a request for their comments. Please read and have your comments back to me by Thursday, October 4, 1999. The Steering Committee has addressed many issues in the Draft Plan. Probably the most significant, however, is the concept of having the County adopt some city codes which would apply to the unincorporated area of the neighborhood, and by intergovernmental agreement, transfer administration/application of the codes to the City. To coin Evan's term, a sort of"virtual annexation." The reasons the Steering Committee cites for desiring a move to City regulations in the unincorporated area include a history of County-applied decisions which are perceived both as detrimental to the neighborhood's character and resident's concerns, and as being more appropriate for a rural area than a developed suburban area. These include County actions on home occupations that are perceived as having a more commercial or industrial nature (e.g., a dentist office and a sheet metal shop), allowing clearcutting of lots to locate one house (e.g., one acre lot on Babson clearcut to site one home), and approval of commercial development that is viewed as not compatible with abutting residential development (RJR's three-story office building on Bangy south of Burma, which exceeded the City's height maximum, did not meet City setbacks and exceeded City FAR maximums; and the Olsen Memorial Clinic parking lot, which the County allowed in a residential zone with access through to a local residential street). • • The challenge is to place these concepts in the plan and have the neighborhood discuss them in order to measure the depth of support and then begin working with the City Council and County Board on refining the concept. 9-13-99 memo to Department Head-Planning • • • • • RURAL LAKE GROVE DRAFT NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN OPEN HOUSE LAKE GROVE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL GYM (DATE) 6 : 30 - 9 : 00 P . M . The Rural Lake Grove Neighborhood Plan Steering Committee invites you to attend the Rural Lake Grove Neighborhood Plan Open House on 1998 at the Lake Grove Elementary School Gymnasium located at 15777 Boones Ferry Road from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. The purpose of the open house is to provide the public an opportunity to review and comment on the Draft Rural Lake Grove Neighborhood Plan. A volunteer citizen's committee composed of members of the Rural Lake Grove Neighborhood Association developed the Draft Neighborhood Plan over the past year. This group has set the stage for keeping the neighborhood livable and preserving its natural beauty. NOW, they need your help in refining that vision. The following goals and policies of the Draft Neighborhood Plan are proposed to be adopted as part of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Consequently, future City Council adoption of the neighborhood plan will affect, future land use decisions in the neighborhood. Following the open house, the Lake Oswego Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on the plan toward the end of 1999. The Planning Commission will make a recommendation to the City Council who will hold another public hearing to consider adoption. The Rural Lake Grove Neighborhood is largely within the unincorporated are of Clackamas County. However, the City has responsibility for Neighborhood Planning in this area. The County Board of Commissioners will also have to approve any Neighborhood Plan affecting the unincorporated area. • • • Please take time to review the following goals, policies and recommended action measures and bring your comments and suggestions to the Lake Grove Elementary School on , 1999.
