SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY BOARD
Vision of a Sustainable Lake Oswego
A sustainable Lake Oswego is a community that meets the vital human needs of the present without
compromising our ability to meet future needs. This requires consideration of both long-term and short-
term effects on ecological, economic, and community systems. Operating sustainably means that we are
leaving a legacy for the community of Lake Oswego and the planet.
A sustainable Lake Oswego is a place recognized nationally as a model of livability—a unified city with a
vital downtown, a strong sense of neighborhoods, and a harmonious relationship with the natural
environment. The lives of everyone who lives, works, and conducts business in Lake Oswego are
enriched by a wide range of choices in transportation, housing, recreation, and culture. Our
infrastructure is sound, our finances stable, and our citizens and employees healthy and engaged.

Regular Business
A. Review Agenda
Co -Chair Ratcliff reviewed the meeting agenda.
B. City Council Update/City Council Goals Update
Joe Buck updated SAB on Council business. The City is looking to sell a piece of property adjacent to
Yakima. The funds that come from this sale have to be used for Parks. Looking to do something parks or
pathways related within that vicinity.
The City entered into an agreement with Alder Creek Canoe and Kayak to do kayak and canoe rentals at
George Rogers Park. Council is also looking at some park planning for Iron Mountain and Woodmont
Parks to be funded by SDC funds. Iron Mountain is 50% funded by SDCs and Parks is applying for a
federal grant to cover the other half. Total cost for development will be a little over $1 million. Also
awarded a contract for the development of a master plan of Woodmont Park. Woodmont has covenants
on the deed related to the Hawthorne trees on the property. Sebastian volunteered to be on the
Woodmont Park planning committee.
Richard asked for an update on marijuana and fiber. Marijuana will be going to the voters to overturn
the ban. Fiber- there haven't been any developments on that front since the last meeting. The board
briefly discussed the merits of municipal fiber vs google fiber, as far as which customers would be
covered. Trying to get a commitment from Google by early summer, so we know whether to put it on
the ballot.
C. City EV Charging
Jenny briefly updated the Board on the grant application process to obtain State funding for EV charging
infrastructure. Looking at getting chargers for the fire stations and in each of the parks.
D. Block 137 Update
Matt Baker from Lease Crutcher Lewis brought some drawings and mockups of the Block 137 project.
Some of the project details presented by Matt include:
• 200 units, 460,000 sf, underground parking, ground floor retail, 3 floors of residential on 2
buildings, 4 floors residential on 1 building
• Over 20 different fagade types
• 3 different design themes- Tudor, Oregon rustic, arts and crafts
• 15 different roof slopes
• Courtyard between the buildings, putting green, bocce ball court, etc
• Building was designed from the outside in, so not many unit types that are the same
• 1 to 4 bedroom units
• High end branding to fit the demographic
• Targeting LEED for homes mid -rise Gold
• On-site stormwater treatment
• Low flow fixtures
• Reclaimed some glue laminated timber materials from Wizer
• 13 EV charging stations for residents as an amenity- no charge
• Pet relief room
• Bike storage
Mary asked if the parking lot can ever be adapted to be EV parking for all. Matt answered that at some
point the will be able to add more conduit to accommodate more EV parking.
The project is applying for LEED for Homes Mid -Rise, which is performance based and practical based.
Jenny asked whether there would be photovoltaic cells on the roofs, but Matt stated that the design did
not a lot of room for solar on the roof.
Matt updated the board on current project status. The construction team is starting to go vertical and
pouring the concrete cores for the buildings.
Gary asked about parking spaces per unit. Matt stated that the parking ration over 1:1 but not quite 2:1.
Gary also asked whether the sidewalks surround the property would change in size. The sidewalk size
will be the same, and there will also be an east -west pathway connecting 1St to 2nd street.
Paul asked the questions that were raised in the SAB letter about the project last year:
- Parking- as stated above.
- Roofing composition: slate and fiberglass. The composites have a recycled component.
- Landscaping: planters all throughout to indicate grade changes and to delineate spaces. Will also
use a specialized soil mixture. Trees along 2nd street all preserved, as well as the Japanese maple
along 1St and A.
- Noise abatement strategies: construction starts at 7:30am, not 7am.
