NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN APPLICATIONS Glenmorrie Ron Bunch, Long Range Planning Manager, related that the neighborhood had met with the staff to discuss the City's Comprehensive Plan and Statewide Planning Goals. He described the neighborhood as including 100 acres with approximately 120 households; zoned entirely R-15; and bisected by Highway 43. He noted the neighborhood was well underway with their planning process, and was working on developing specific goals and polices. He related the neighborhood had listed issues to be addressed, especially regarding the closure of Old River Road and safety in crossing Highway 43. Commissioner Edwards clarified that the neighborhood desired to plan for open spaces; however, they did not have a specific park in mind. Commissioner Beebe recalled an issue from previous years regarding pathway easements to the river that were not maintained. Neighborhood representatives present related they had not discussed that issue. City of Lake Oswego Planning Commission Page 1 of 3 Neighborhood Planning Subcommittee Minutes of October 26, 1998 Jim Radda, 2205 Glenmorrie Lane, Lake Oswego, 97034, Chair of the Glenmorrie Neighborhood Association presented a chart of issues that he explained had been determined through a neighborhood survey and various study groups. He requested direction from the City as to which issues the neighborhood could control. He indicated that the Association had a committed planning steering committee and Board members. Mr. Radda indicated that the neighborhood was interested in accomplishing its plan in order to gain some local control over future growth. He related the Association had studied the First Addition and Lake Grove plans. Waluga Mr. Bunch described the Waluga neighborhood as including approximately 200 acres, (with 53 acres included in Waluga Park)and 630 residents. He advised the neighborhood was a diverse one, containing up to 50%multi-family units and that up to 25%of the area was zoned commercial. Mr. Bunch recalled the neighborhood had accomplished a neighborhood survey; discussed the planning process with staff; and desired to involve all aspects of the community, including the business community. He noted they had identified issues to be addressed during the process. Mr. Bunch suggested that staff be allocated to work with both neighborhoods to help them frame plan policies to conform with City, Metro and state requirements and provide data. He warned; however, that if the Stafford area was included in the City's Urban Growth Boundary, staff resources would be diverted to that area. He also advised that the City Council intended for multiple interest groups and jurisdictions to discuss and resolve the issue of Old River Road, and that process would require staff resources. Chair Sandblast advised that the subject of density was an issue for the neighborhood, the City and the region, and he requested the Association consider potential areas for increased density. Commissioner Beebe moved to recommend to the Planning Commission that staff resources be allotted to both the Glenmorrie and Waluga neighborhood planning processes so that the plans could be worked on simultaneously; however, with the caveat that if it became necessary for staff resources to be diverted for other planning activities, such as Stafford, the processes would be slowed. Commissioner Edwards seconded the motion and it passed with Chair Sandblast and Commissioners Beebe and Edwards voting yes.
