1007 8/12/2009 Email: Concern about farmlands and natural resources north of Highway 26; area is primarily Foundation agricultural land that provides the base for a healthy agricultural economy in Washington County. The Helvetia area contains the finest silt loam soils, typically over six feet deep, without rock, and retain moisture very well. This soil and its depth allows for a very impressive fertility and water retention. I moved to Hillsboro to allow for higher density living... and still close to our local farms. I support all Oregon farmers and food production is going to be a huge concern as populations grow... Where do the people live who will benefit form businesses and/or house development in Hillsboro? Fill in vacant office buildings with business and develop high density in the Amber Glen area before looking to add more land.

1063 8/19/2009 Email: Concern about farmlands and natural resources north of Highway 26; area is primarily Foundation agricultural land that provides the base for a healthy agricultural economy in Washington County. To paraphrase Mike Burton when he ran for Metro, "if all of the farms are paved over where are we going to eat?" In an era where we need to reduce our carbon footprint and develop a more sustainable economy, why would we destroy such an irrreplaceable resource? When we drive out to Helvetia, we pass many empty buildings and office space for lease. We do not need more development when we cannot fill the space we have. We have seen how quickly large corporations will abandon our (or any) area when their share price drops. We need residents that are truly invested in our land and our community - farmers.

When will policy makers and planners start to behave in ways that acknowledge (1) there is no more land being created, and (2) we all have to eat?

The area north of 26 known as Helvetia is probably some of the best farmland in Washington County - not to mention its aesthetic value when viewed even from the asphalt of highway 26. Likely what will happen here is that the land in this area would be developed into very high-end, up-scale properties that would maximize the tax revenues for the area relative to the land. In my opinion this land would much better serve the county as a whole if it could remain as productive farmland.

Since all of the candidate urban reserves areas north of highway 26 are within three miles of the existing UGB and are Foundation agricultural lands, Washington and Multnomah counties need to designate these areas as rural reserves under OAR 660-027-0060 (4). Additional points include: There is a food shortage in the world as the current distribution system exists; if we trade more farmland for asphalt and spawl housing, we only dig a deeper hole for the county and Oregon, making access to local, superior food even more difficult. Transit systems are already stretched - how will they service more sprawl? Building sprawl will take away dollars from the county and its families. Baffling intent of Washington County officials to deliberately trade an historic and successful industry - agriculture on some of the best soils on the planet for an uncertain future of competing for often short term business investments.

1970 1/13/2010 Minutes: Metro Policy Advisory Committee (MPAC)  
1971 1/13/2010 Email: Response to article Neighborhood Activist section of January 10 edition of Northwest Examiner entitled "What Future Do We Want for the West Hills", supporting Urban Designation of area west of Skyline Blvd from the city limits to Cornelius Pass Road. All Metro Councilors received email forwarded by Jerry Grossnickle. TO: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected],[email protected] FROM: Allan Luethe
1972 1/13/2010 Email: Owner of acreage in stafford area, requesting area be designated as an urban reserve. TO: Carlotta Collette, David Bragdon, Rod Park, Carl Hosticka, Kathryn Harrington, Rex Burkholder, Robert Liberty FROM: Don and Milynn Schaefer
1973 1/13/2010 Email: Save the Region's Farm Land, Natural Resources and Beauty. Saving rural space for farming and recreation is crucial to quality of life in Washington County. The current proposal includes too much valuable farmland. Duplicate email sent to all Metro Councilors. 1 copy retained for record. TO: David Bragdon FROM: Christina Harrington
1974 1/14/2010 Email: Subject: Stafford Triangle; Serious traffic concern due to I-205 and doesn't want to see more development without first developing a transportation plan that can handle additional residents or business traffic. TO: Reserves FROM: Gail Holmes
1975 1/14/2010 Email: Don't pave over our region's treasures. Resident of Halsey, OR. Duplicate emails sent to Rod Park and Rex Burkholder. 1 copy retained for record. TO: Carl Hosticka, Rod Park, Rex Burkholder FROM: Joy Sisto
1976 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 1: Presented plan that has urban reserve acreage consistant with the population, employment and acreage amounts in the recommendations of the Metro COO; map was prepared by agricultural and conservation groups. Compared ag/conservation map with Core 4 map. "We should really look at what we're buying." Used Nature in Neighborhood GIS inventory to see how dense resources are on certain areas. North of Cornelius merits rural reserve protection, as does Cooper Mountain, east of Sherwood (area 5f) -- which includes acquisition area of Tualatin National Wildlife Refuge. A 40 year range for urban reserves is easier to predict. Middle population range is what the COO report addressed. Q: Is that marked as purple (or tan) areas? A: Purple areas fall into low end of urban reserve need (15K acres) plus another 6000 acres of potential urban reserves. There is a mix of riparian and other resources in these proposed rural areas; see attached letter dated Jan 14, 2010. TO: Metro Council FROM: Brian Wegener, Tualatin Riverkeepers
1977 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 2: Speaking on behalf of Lake Oswego City Council and people of LO, the speaker reinforces city message that Stafford area (particulary 4a) does not meet criteria for either urban or rural reserves and should maintain as undesignated status. They are in favor of focusing on our existing city centers. TO: Metro Council FROM: Sally Moncreiff, City Councilor, City of Lake Oswego
1978 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 3: 7548 N Chatauqua, Portland. Designate all of west hills west of Forest Park (9a, b, c) as urban reserve. Undesignated would be disservice to area residents - will have to revisit the issue again. No designation may decrease property values. Owns acreage between Springville Rd. and Washington County line. Increased elk population makes farming difficult. Urban reserves can take advantage of existing infrastructure or be connected to other areas easily. Already has TriMet service on Springville Rd. See attached letter dated Jan 14, 2010. TO: Metro Council FROM: Dale Berger
1979 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 4: Supports map prepared by the agriculture and natural resources coalition. Owns farm in Gales Creek. Speaker has worked in economic development. Fresh, local, seasonal food is an important industry cluster. It is an emerging contributor to the local economy. Food culture supports knowledge-based economy. Need infrastructure to support this cluster. Land brought into urban reserve would have higher prices, making farming more difficult. See attached document TO: Metro Council FROM: Anne Berbinger
1980 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 5: Speaker is chief petitioner for Stafford hamlet. Majority of residents cherish Stafford's rural character. Need to preserve northern Stafford's rural legacy.Only one area of consensus for development: Borland Rd. area (area 4c). Most important to consider is that there is less than 1000 developable acres. Cities in area remain opposed to providing services. Clackamas County has presented a reasonable compromise. SB 1011 neglected to address buffer areas. We've got 50 years to think about how to deal with buffer zones; can work with Legislature to create language that speaks to buffer zones. speaker personally supports rural reserve, not sure if would be agreed to. See attached documents called "Stafford" signed by Dave Adams and publication "Stafford Hamlet Values and Vision." Email containing the same information sent to Carl Hosticka on January 8, 2010 TO: Metro Council FROM: Dave Adams
1981 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 6: Cornelius needs land and has chosen areas that are not the best farmland to accommodate future growth. Core 4 map is not all that city wanted, but it is the best approach overall. Q: Previous maps indicated agreement on areas southeast of city for urban reserve; what is city's criteria for going north and northeast rather southeast? A: Both areas north and south are Tier Two Ag Lands. Southeast area doesn't help with jobs need -- there is poor access. Northern areas, along edges of existing industrial area, are better. Council Creek really isn't a boundary now. Land has been purchased in southern area that would be ideal for housing at 2040-level densities. TO: Metro Council FROM: Richard Meyer, staff, City of Cornelius
1982 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 7: Portland resident asks, how many of you live packed in like sardines? Sees Metro promoting packed in, dense development. Government should accommodate lifestyles of people, not tell them how/where to live, work or commute. Biggest threat to ecosystem is overpopulation of human race, not individual lifestyles. Nowhere in Metro's plans are discussions about promoting smaller families, less population growth. Economic growth does not require population growth and cannot be supported with government subsidies. Alternative transportation users need to pay their own way. Streetcars should be scrapped unless they can pay their own way. See attached document dated Jan 14, 2010 TO: Metro Council FROM: Terry Parker
1983 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 8: Area west of I-5, southeast of Sherwood, between areas 5d and 5f. This is 5e option area, particularly eastern edge -- urges 5e area receive an urban reserve designation, plus area to east slated for rural designation. There is an area constrained for agriculture. This area will soon by served by new transportation improvements. Creating an island of rural reserve amongst urban reserves with services is not advisable. Urban reserve designation in 5e does not need to conflict with Tonquin Trail and other active transportation improvements. Q: You feel area is isolated from farming. Area to south has some farming operations; why do you feel this is isolated? A: If area north or east go urban, it would be isolated. This area is conflicted because of terrain and soil types. Area to south does not carry significant farm values. Q: Wegener pointed out this has high value natural resources. How can we preserve high value natural resources in urban reserve? A: The area near the wildlife refuge has value. There is a break in terrain to the south. The Tonquin scablands area has geographic formations that does not have significant land form. Doesn't have significant protections in place today. See attached map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Steve Pfeiffer on behalf of Metropolitan Land Group
1984 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 9: Affirms city of Canby position in agreement with Core 4 map. Represents negotiated position between city and county board with regard to designation of rural reserves north of Canby and lack of rural reserve designation to the east. City had sought more undesignated lands north of Canby. No designation east of Canby supported by city and county. City would support any decision to expand undesignated lands north of city and opposes any changes to undesignated lands to the east; area to the east has 1300 acres that is flat, then you get into more hilly territory. Parret Creek provides natural break. See attached letter from the City of Canby dated Jan 14, 2010. TO: Metro Council FROM: Bryan Brown, City of Canby Planning Director
1985 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 10: Option 1f. Hwy 26 and Hwy 212, tax lot 200 and other addresses nearby - if area goes rural, that's fine. If it goes urban, should bring all of 1000 foot strip in as urban to give cities and counties a say in how it is developed. If 1000 foot strip remains rural, it will look the same in 40 or 50 years. Infrastructure exists there. Area is suitable for urban designation. Wants to see more economic activity--particularly high technology--come to the area. See attached documents "Urban and Rural Reserves, Section 9 Boring OR 1F Options, John Chambers and Dee A Anders," and bound publication "Portland Metro Urban and Rural Reserves vision 2010-2050/60 Core 4 reserves - shaping the next 50 years" TO: Metro Council FROM: Dee Anders
1986 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.11: Forest Grove resident. Owns 40 acre parcel between Forest Grove and Banks. Raises fresh produce and sells hogs. Contributes to emerging sector of fresh food. Income comes solely from farming operations. Earlier proposed urban reserves came within half mile of property. Endorses map presented by ag/natural resources coalition. Farmland in urban reserve would likely be too expensive, and long-range planning needed for agriculture business cannot tolerate insecurity provided by urban reserve designation. Be cautious and conservative in bringing farmland into urban reserves. See attached letter dated Jan 14, 2010 TO: Metro Council FROM: Chris Roehm
1987 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 12: Concern with area at intersection of Thompson and McDaniel Rd. Area is in unincorporated Multnomah County. Not sure if his property is in area 9a. His property is landlocked by Washington County line and Forest Heights. Property can't be farmed (2.94 acres). Couldn't sell property due to uncertainty over designation. Why can't this area be developed; is not farming land. Counties and cities should bring in land adjacent to the City of Portland for urban reserve. TO: Metro Council FROM: John P. Cherry
1988 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 13: Very little growth has taken place in recent UGB expansion areas. Rural reserves in northwest sector provide options. Remaining rural lands in Multnomah County should be preserved as rural reserves (area 9). See attached letter and map dated Jan 14, 2010 TO: Metro Council FROM: Jim Emerson, Forest Park Neighborhood Assn
1989 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 14: written comment; did not testify. Stafford soils are too poor and land too steep to profitably farm. Only urban designation should be considered. Use all of Stafford for residential and employment land; save profitable farmland in other areas. TO: Metro Council FROM: Mike Miller
1990 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 15: Lives in Springville Rd. area (area 9b). Supports local food economy. Area 9b could be haven for community-supported agriculture and for wildlife. This area should be a rural reserve and meets criteria for rural reserves. Supports agriculture and natural resources coalition map. Designate all of area 9 in West Hills as rural reserve. See attached document detailing concerns. TO: Metro Council FROM: Mary Telford
1991 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 16: Bought property many years ago out in the country. Does not want it disturbed. Wants to keep property rural and have birds, animals, farms around it. Property is on Springville Rd. and Springville Lane (in area 9). See attached letter dated August 10, 2009 TO: Metro Council FROM: Winifred Miller
1992 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 17: Lived on five acres off Springville Rd. All of area 9 in West Hills should be designated as rural reserve. City of Portland supports rural reserve designation there. Area has low to medium suitability for urban reserve. Multnomah County citizen advisory committee recommended rural reserve. Consider ability to move people from homes to jobs and infrastructure necessary if urban reserves are designated- would provide more congestion on existing roads. See attached letter dated Jan 14, 2010 from Mollie and Ted Nelson. TO: Metro Council FROM: Mollie Nelson
1993 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 18: 2206 Tannler Dr., West Linn. Opposes urban reserve and supports rural reserve designation for all of Stafford area. Transportation infrastructure costs would be at least $500 million for urban reserve. Households would bear enormous costs for services. Seventy percent of citizens of West Linn, polled by city, do not want urbanization of Stafford. 203 citizens have signed petition supporting rural reserve. All of recent Metro density goals have been met or exceeded in West Linn and city is willing to do more. Petitions Attached TO: Metro Council FROM: Roberta Schwartz
1994 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 19: Speaking about an area of Canby, north of city (area 4J). City of Canby, Chamber of Commerce, farm bureau all support that area being undesignated. Canby needs flexibility for growth. If all of Canby's growth is funnelled to east, it will isolate Canby's downtown. There is a natural interaction between downtown and northern area bounded by Molalla and Willamette rivers. Does not believe city opposes undesignated area north of city. See attached letter dated Jan 14, 2010. TO: Metro Council FROM: Esther Nelson
1995 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 21: Repesents city view that Stafford area should remain rural. Council has voted unanimously twice in favor of rural reserve designation. Supports hamlet vision. Stafford is a vibrant rural community. To provide services to Borland area, could cost as much as $1 billion. It would be very expensive to provide infrastructure to constrained areas in Stafford. Adding increased population to this area adds to transportation constraints. Infrastructure costs will not provide affordability to residents or businesses. West Linn seeks to increase development in existing urban areas, as Lake Oswego supports. City recognizes need to look at how main streets work, develop more businesses in Willamette area and along Hwy. 43. Q: How far along are discussions to accommodate more population in West Linn? A: New planning director, new resources being focused on West Linn. Nearly every map has shown some urban potential along Borland Rd. Risks creating an island of urban development, and the City is concerned about that. Does not see ability to support urban concentrations in Stafford area generally. Regarding specific area proposed to be served by West Linn near Wankers Corner, West Linn never asked for that and county policy advisory committee did not recommend that. If center of Stafford were to be designated rural, the city would be okay with that. City council has not taken an official position that area 4B. TO: Metro Council FROM: Teri Cummings, Councilor, City of West Linn
1996 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 23: South Cooper Mountain land owners. Appreciates consideration as urban reserve. Makes sense for area to be planned together, not piecemeal. Ric Stephens is working with group to help design area. TO: Metro Council FROM: Ed Bartholomey
1997 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 24: Organic education professional. Works at Luscher Farm in Stafford area. The speaker and Oregon Tilth supports the ag/natural resources coalition map. See attached letter and map from Chris Schreiner, Oregon Tilth, dated Jan 11, 2010. TO: Metro Council FROM: Connor Voss
1998 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 25: The Core 4 map is a solution that is acceptable. Bragdon/Hosticka map is preferable over Liberty/Park map with some exceptions. Liberty/Park/Burkholder map is one of very best solutions except to add areas 7a, 7b, and 7c. Core 4 map brings a lot of the issues/concerns together and will meet needs for about 35-40 years. Liberty/Park/Burkholder map provide less urban reserves. Area 8a is probably overkill. Core 4 solution of reducing area north of Hwy. 26 was necessary - took a lot of farmland out that supports organic farming. Area 7b should not have industrial or residential zoning in eastern portion of 7b and should have industrial in western portion of 7b. If he could, he would redesignate some industrial land already inside city of Forest Grove as residential. Area 7a can't be served unless area 7b is included. Cornelius does not have jobs/housing balance. Putting jobs in 8a could be balanced with existing residents, would reduce carbon footprint of travel to Hwy. 26 and into town. We need to have sufficient industrial areas to support sufficient industrial sites. TO: Metro Council FROM: Richard Kidd
1999 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 26: Had been both amused and angered by those from other jurisdictions telling Washington County where and how to develop. Believes in 10 to 20 years there will be a future Metro Council that will want to re-do the reserves effort. Concerned about ag/natural resource coalition map as being too heavy on rural reserves. Believes urban reserves proposed for Washington County are inadequate. TO: Metro Council FROM: John Leeper
2000 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 27: Represents Coalition for a Prosperous Region. Urges Metro Council to designate 34,000 acres of initial Washington Co. urban reserves and the rest as undesignated land. Believes this best achieves balance with natural resources and features and supports economic growth. Bragdon/Hosticka map provides 8 acres of rural reserve for every 1 acre of urban reserve. Urban reserves have gradually been whittled down. Having a cushion of undesignated land is necessary for flexibility in next 50 years. In Washington County, the proposed maps have no room or flexibility if our projections today are wrong. The alignment of rural reserve along urban acreage is the more serious concern. If 90 percent of all land within three-mile radius is saved for farmland, leaving only 10 percent for future employment and population growth is a little tight. TO: Metro Council FROM: Beverly Bookin
2001 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 28: UR-1 -- part of option 9b (the "L"). Represents East Bethany owners collaborative - majority of ownership in UR-1. This area is east of North Bethany UGB addition, for which comprehensive planning is almost complete. UR-1 has been noted as conflicted agricultural land and is suitable for urban development. Washington County could provide services. It is within walking distance of Bethany town center and PCC Rock Creek campus. This presents a novel opportunity to create a great community. See attached letter dated January 14, 2010. TO: Metro Council FROM: Thomas VanderZanden
2002 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 29: Speaking on behalf of board of Claremont Retirement Community (900 residents), located at West Union Ave and Kaiser Rd, dissected by Bethany Blvd; supports adding East Bethany (area 9B) as rural reserve. Is extremely concerned about safety of residents on Bethany Blvd. and Kaiser Rd. See attached letter dated Jan 14, 2010 TO: Metro Council FROM: Charles Murphy
2003 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 30: Lives on NW Skyline Blvd. Supports proposed designations of urban and rural reserves on the ag/natural resources coalition map. Especially supports designations of areas 9 as rural reserve. This could protect forest and natural habitat resources in western Multnomah County. TO: Metro Council FROM: George Sowder
2004 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 31: 28,000 customers at five Portland-area farmer's markets per week. We must maintain adequate land supply to support local agriculture and food supply. Agriculture is a viable industry competing in a global marketplace. Area out in east Clackamas Co. (1b?) designated as urban reserve s a concern. Concerned about all agriculture. Need to look at preserving farming for future generations. Supports agriculture and natural resources coalition. TO: Metro Council FROM: Rosemarie Cordello, President of the Board, Portland Farmer's Market
2005 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 32: Grows vegetables in Canby area - fourth generation of Montecucco Farms north of Canby. Firmly opposes rural reserve designation on area north of Canby. It is not capable of sustaining long-term farming. Area is land locked. There is nowhere close by to grow farming operation. Has to transport food and equipment through Canby to other farming sites. Area north of Canby has been parceled out among several land owners. Not great place to farm long-term. Zoning laws already work; no need to add rural reserves. City residents should be able to annex area through voter approval. Leave the area undesignated. See attached hardcopy of comments. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jason Montecucco
2006 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 33: Lives in Helvetia. Is a community-supported agricultural farmer. In areas 8c and 8b - concerned about undesignated area. There are plans to expand dairy farm operations there. Further areas down West Union Rd. that are undesignated are in areas where some farmers want to continue farming. Please look at ag/natural resources map - that map is well supported. Turn 8b into a rural designation. See attached letter from Lyn Jacobs and Juvencio Argueta dated Jan 14, 2010 TO: Metro Council FROM: Lynn Jacobs
2007 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 34:Concerned that suburban development puts pressure on maintenance of city core. Cannot imagine adding moer land and more infrastructure to city. Would like to see more rural reserves, to have land taken care of by farmers and conservation groups and have more food grown locally. Please accept the ag and natural resources coalition's proposed reserve areas. TO: Metro Council FROM: Catherine Mushel
2008 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 35: Has landlocked piece of land in area 8a. Has business adjacent to area 8a. Wants to have his children able to build on this land. There is about 175 acres of family land. Proximity to Hwy. 26 makes this desirable for development. There will be inevitable growth in this area. TO: Metro Council FROM: Norman Relidon
2009 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 36: Lives in Hillsboro in area 8b. Keep area 8b west boundary at McKay Creek. Land has been in same ownership since 1800s. Has seen erosion in value of property from urban takings. L is below Meeks Rd. and Scotts Church Rd Q: P. 2, question 4 speaks to quantifiable evidence that farmland uses would not lose critical mass. How should Metro question assumptions about farmland use? A: Taking a portion of dryland farming won't take some farm operations out of business. Request to include 200 acres of property located north of Evergreen Rd., east of McKay Cr, south of hwy 26 and west of Jackson Rd in urban reserve. See attached written comment. TO: Metro Council FROM: Dana McCullough
2010 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 37: Reject suggestion that portions of area 9 be left undesignated. Follow suggestions of Mult. Co. CAC and City of Portland and designate this area as rural reserve. Cites from Jan. 11 letter from Mayor Adams and Commissioner Fritz. See attached letters from Jerry Grossnickle (dated Jan 14) and Mayor Adams and Commissioner Fritz (dated Dec 10) TO: Metro Council FROM: Jerry Grossnickel
2011 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 38: Lives in Forest Park area. Urges that area 9 be designated as rural reserve area. Is concerned about habitat degredation from existing development. Further development would not be helpful. There are already significant traffic problems. Providing infrastructure would be very difficult. Supports ag/natural resources coalition reserves map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Paula Saurageau
2012 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 39: Lives on Skyline Blvd. in area 9d. Comments on areas 9a, b, c and f -- supports designating all areas as rural reserve. Views are unique. Monitors western bluebirds in area, which are not currently threatened but are close. Birds are not as common in this area as they used to be. TO: Metro Council FROM: Cheryl Neal
2013 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 40: Lives on NW Springville Rd. Owns about 40 acres. Strongly supports including East Bethany as urban reserves. Many neighbors support this as well. This area would be easy to serve. It borders North Bethany on Multnomah County side. Area is close to Bethany Town Center and PCC. There is no large-scale farming in the area. It is hard to make a profit in farming in this area. In UR-1, probably 65 percent of land is owned by those in support of urban reserves. There is a lot of exception land in UR-1. There are a lot of strong planning reasons to include East Bethany as an urban reserve. TO: Metro Council FROM: Cathy Blumenkron
2014 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 41: Protecting habitat in streams is very important. Areas around 185th and West Union on the Liberty/Park map is good for rural reserve. Supports making area 9 as rural reserve. Area 9b meets none of the factors for urban reserve. Need to protect close-in farms and natural resources. See attached testimony summary and binder including detailed analysis of area 9. TO: Metro Council FROM: Joe Rayhawk
2015 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 42: Ag/natural area coalition map most closely resembles recommendations heard from Mult. Co. Citizen Advisory Committee and was endorsed by planning commission. There are differences in the Core 4 and Bragdon/Hosticka maps. On Area 9, there is more green area on both Metro maps. Believes Commissioners Wheeler and Kafoury are concerned about undesignated lands in this area. On Bragdon/Hosticka map, has concerns about area near Scappoose. State agencies believe there need to be more rural reserves north along Hwy. 30. Need to extend buffers from urban development. Planning commission recommendation is similar to ag/natural resources map for a rural reserve designation for area north of andy River up to Gorge Scenic Area. See attached written testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Chris Foster
2016 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 43: Provided packet of letters and other materials from nearby farms. Sells beef and other products to farmers markets. Does not support undesignated areas. Requests that you designate all of Area 9 in the West Hills as Rural Reserve to protect close-in farms, forests and natural resources. He supports the Agriculture and Natural Resources Coatition reserves map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Greg Malinowski
2017 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 44: East of Bethany area - farm is being considered as urban reserve. Designate all of area 9 as a rural reserve to protect close-in farms, forests and natural resources. Supports ag/natural resources coalition reserves map. See attached letter from Greg Malinowkski and Richard Malinowski dated Jan 14, 2010 TO: Metro Council FROM: Richard Malinowski
2018 1/14/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 45: Spoke about the ag/natural resources coalition map. Map does not come late in process - nothing on map is new. It makes sense from an urban point of view: capacity (urban reserves proposals mirrors largely what COO recommendation illustrates). The region has the capacity to grow in current UGB; past trends in growth would only lend support for 7000 acres of urban reserves (ag/nat. resources map proposes 15,000 acres).

Doesn't believe legislation was meant to lock in UGB. 25,000 acres of urban reserves with less than 10 percent of recent land used is a misrepresentation - it's a 20 year supply.

2102 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 18: Developed Sherwood Plaza at 6 corners, trips have been increasing, working on developing 57 acres next to Target. New development will be a mix of retail and office space. Negotiating with large national companies, is concerned with access to I-5. Would like to see I-5 connector completed. Please designate 5D as an urban reserve to increase growth and density in Sherwood. TO: Metro Council FROM: Matt Langer
2103 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 19: Commented on the history of density as related to west side light rail: was in congress at that time (1993). There was big competition for the money from L.A. for west side light rail. We got the money because we promised that we could guarantee the density. Things that happen today can impact what happens in Congress tomorrow. We can show that we do not agree with sprawl; we need to stick with commitment of density and ridership. TO: Metro Council FROM: Elizabeth Furse
2104 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 20: Opposes area 5E as an urban reserve. Natural geographic area of Tonquin Scablands, is hard to develop. Area should also be protected. Proposed urban designation is because of connector, which is a failed idea not a transportation solution. We have great and productive farmlands that we want to see continue. TO: Metro Council FROM: Leann Bennett
2105 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 21: Has 26 acres in area 6-B; would like to see the area in urban reserves (Clark Hill Rd and Grabhorn Rd.) as it is suited for urban use. Clark Hill Rd is a clear boundary. Group of owners would like to come into urban reserves. See attached aerial photo. TO: Metro Council FROM: Steven Starkel
2106 1/20/2010 Would like to see Area 8B designated as rural; is difficult to urbanize due to floodplains. There is broad consensus for designation as rural reserves. Ag and natural resources coalition recommend rural reserve. 1400 people have expressed their support. An urban designation in 8B is not required for the connector; There is more land suggested than is needed. TO: Metro Council FROM: Brian Beinlich
2107 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 23: It is unwise to urbanize 8B from a hydrologic perspective. ODOT letter tries to justify need for 8B for the interchange: area needs much assessment before any development takes place there. It is an ecological connection, a drainage comes through, silt loam is 8 feet deep, has sub-irrigation and natural drainage; if you develop lower end, will remove 1000s of tons of compression and will do damage uphill. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Robert Bailey
2108 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.24: Has 37 years of experience with Dept of Agriculture, has concern re: locally grown food and global warming. Area 8B: any area designated as urban will start to harbor weeds, becomes a management problem for nearby farmers. Farmers suffer contamination of noxious weeds from nearby urban areas. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Hal Brockman
2109 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 25: Values conservation of nature, smart compact development, affordable housing, walkable neighborhoods. The City of Cornelius supports the Core 4 compromise map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jeff Dalin, Councilor, City of Cornelius
2110 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.26: Metro needs to include a sufficient supply of employment land, if do not, will be responsible for undermining economic vitality of the area. Commented on process, that business community opinions have been dismissed. Over a dozen business organizations provided comments. Asked early that unconstrained lands be considered for urban lands; this did not happen. CACs have detailed their needs for urban land. Quality of life to most folks means a job. TO: Metro Council FROM: Greg Specht
2111 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 27: Sherwood is at top of list for urban expansion, would like a slower rate of growth. Favor balanced approach around the region. Agrees with Bragdon/Hosticka map. In 11% potential expansion. 3% would be urban reserve. Look to expand a few areas of urban reserve around Sherwood and Washington County. Favors no urban reserve reductions. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Kieth Mays, Mayor of Sherwood
2112 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 28: Supports stewardship of the land, farms and dense growth. Brings people here, recruits for jobs, people love to see the UGB. Wants to see 5E as rural reserve, undesignate lands should also be rural reserve. Tonquin Scabland area would have wildlife corridor. Area has natural geographical boundaries, no urban infrastructure, requires protection. There was no unanimous recommendatoin of the connector. See Attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: James Hook
2113 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 29: Tualatin businesses and government are working together. City of Tualatin position does represent the whole community. 5E: ? Tualatin says they cannot support Stafford, as do other cities. TO: Metro Council FROM: Kevin Ferrasci O'Malley, Tualatin Chamber of Commerce
2114 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 30: Lives in Washington County. The names and numbers keep changing, hard to keep up with the maps. Designations do not affect her two acres, but farmland is irreplacable. Important and foundation farmland should not be included in urban reserves. Steinfeld's used to use make pickles, had to import cucumbers from Sri Lanka. This area has best agricultural land in the world. We act like a million more people area are a done deal. If we don't build it, maybe they won't come. Water is an issue in Sherwood. TO: Metro Council FROM: Joan Steinfeld
2115 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.31: Would like to see a larger area of undesignated land to the north of Canby. We would like the extra flexibility in the future for potential growth. Areas to the north and east offer advantages of close-knit village type development. Dark green on map is state parkland; in the light color green areas, we agree with rural designation. Area to east of Canby is outside the 3 mile line. City negotiated with Clackamas County back to a reasonable area that has natural boundaries (1,300 acres); anything beyond, we feel, is not threatened by urban expansion.Canby is completely surrounded by prime foundation land. Best way to expand is residential to the north, commercial/industrial to the east. See attached letter and map dated Jan 20, 2010 TO: Metro Council FROM: Bryan Brown, City of Canby
2116 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 32: Real estate developer says that NW Canby should be undesignated, SE corner between river and existing boundary should also be undesignated. Owns land on Pete's Mountain; property owners there own 810 acres and would like it to be undesignated. Property owners do not want rural reserve designation; is not viable as farmland. Need to include lands south of Sherwood and Wilsonville for the connector. Favors the Bragdon/Hosticka map for minimum urban reserves, but would like more undesignated. TO: Metro Council FROM: Gordon Root
2117 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 33: Concerned re: areas 5E and 5F. 5E should remain undesignated, eastern portion should be in Tonquin reserve. This area is not needed to accommodate growth in Sherwood. 5E and 5F do not meet URR factors 1,3,5,7 and 8. 15% o 5A is in Tualatin Wildlife Refuge. Designating it urban is contrary to goals and objectives in Metro document regarding the Tonquin area. See attached testimony and map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Michael Feves
2118 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 34: concerned regarding jobs, economy and the tax base; did not testify. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jonathan Schlueter
2119 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 35: There is a critical need for large lot industrial users. Support transportation policies that ensure freight mobility. Land at St. Mary's is along TV Hwy and is not easy to get to hwy 26 or hwy 217. This land is called conflicted for ag, but is also conflicted as industrial land. Industries typically do not rely on railroad. Proposed urban reserve between 26 and Hillsboro is ideal because of transportation access. TO: Metro Council FROM: John Coulter, Hillsboro Planning Commission
2120 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 36: Represents Newland Communities, the largest property owner in south Hillsboro area. Supports south Hillsboro. Maps are a validation of the 2040 growth concept and are a very compact map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jeff Bachrach
2121 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 37: Emphasized that great communities planning started with south Hillsboro. Felt back then that property should be developed in a way that Metro would be proud of. There are a small number of owners committed to working together. TO: Metro Council FROM: Thane Tienesen
2122 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 38: handout: lives on NW Country View Way, owns 62 acres (2 parcels) in West Multnomah County abutting current UGB. This area in 9B should be considered as urban reserve or as undesignated land. Land available for 15,000 people, livable, 2 schools close by, not ag foundation land, no irrigation rights, cannot participate in CSA programs. There is large development to the north. This is devaluation of property. CAC process was dominated by a particular member who lives on Germantown Rd. to keep the area rural. It was a flawed process. She is not a developer, just wants a fair designation. See attached maps and letters. TO: Metro Council FROM: Sandra Baker
2123 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 39: Owns 189 acres in middle of South Hillsboro plan. Supports urban reserves for this area. Supports inclusion of this property as shown in Wash County farm bureau map, Liberty/Park map, etc. Portions of S Hillsboro were brought in piecemeal; land that will be brought in will pull the area together. Over half of South hillsboro plan is south of Butternut Creek. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Joe F. Hanauer
2124 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 40: Importance of having industrial land north of Hillsboro. Agriculture and industry, density and livability, we need to have all. Senate Bill 1011 was designed to give us certainty. Agrees with 99% of the Core 4 map. See attached letter and news articles. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jerry Willey, Mayor of Hillsboro
2125 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 41: Prosperity means being employed. In the beginning, process promised a balanced system. The process has become one of politics. Future growth may be in fragmented or in less than ideal areas, and there are thousands of acres of rural reserves. Look at the economic consequences of your decisions, especially need for large lots for industrial in Washington County. Business coalition map requests 40,000 acres of urban reserves. Employment land should only be used for employment provided there is sufficient land available for other uses (schools, etc). May need to look at combined uses in the area. Includes binder with Research and Source Documentation in support of the recommendatuins of the Coalition for a prosperous region. TO: Metro Council FROM: Greg Manning, President of NAIOP
2126 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 42: West Union Rd. Protect farmland north of 26 and south of West Union rd. Has 78 acre farm across from 8-F, considered for undesignated. Would be harmful to their dairy farm. Want to build onsite organic creamery, requires investment of $100,000. Industrial sites use a large amount of water. Current well has drilled down to 590 ft.; any new development affects water table. Was at 250 feet in 1970, currently at 500 feet. Depletion of water table and noise from industry will make it impossible to keep milk cows. Undesignated land opens door to uncertainty and urban sprawl. Undesignated is an extension of urban reserves. Adopt ag and natural resource map. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Casey Schoch
2127 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 43: Is north of hwy 26, has 309 acres bordering West Union and Jackson Rd. 8-FW should be designated as rural reserves. This area supports long term farming and forest operations. Is all foundatoin land and contains class one soils. 300 acres and 200 neighboring acres have been farmed for generations. Pocket of undesignated land will lead to development inside of farmland, driving land prices up. Ag and natural resource map does a better job of protecting farmland. Purchased farm 12 years ago, payed price of $3,500 acre, now going for $10,000-$12,000 an acre; across road is going for $21,000 per acre. Cannot afford to expand our farms at these prices. North Plains is not interested in expanding into 8FW. See attached testimony and map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Spencer Gates
2128 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 44: Request change to map: west of City of Tigard area in area 6C. Would accept reduction of acreage with reconfiguration, orienting them to the northern portion of the area. Would move urbanized areas away from TR wildlife refuge. Irregular boundary of urban reserve takes into consideration existing drainages. Additional acres should be undesignated. Would support the City of Sherwood regarding area 5E, that it be considered for urban reserves. 6B would connect up with Scholls Ferry Rd. Area outlined in dark blue on submitted map is area of consideration. See attached letter and map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Craig Dirksen, Mayor, City of Tigard
2129 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 45: Commented on 5-F designated as urban (Tonquin Scablands); is part of the wildlife refuge; should not be designated urban. 5B is also recommended as urban - anything north of Edie Rd impacts the refuge and should not be urban. 5A is also in refuge area and should not be urban. A hearing is coming up in Sherwood;will send paperwork to Metro. TO: Metro Council FROM: Susan Claus
2130 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 46: Commented on issues unrelated to reserves. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jim Claus
2131 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 47: Supports ag and natural resources map. List of signers to map has changed. Based on lower end of population growth. See attached map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jeff Stone, Oregon Assn of Nurseries
2132 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 48: CPO 8 endorses a designation of rural reserve status for lands north of hwy 26 and east of Jackson School Rd. that Washington County RCC recommended as urban or undesignated. Did not testify; see attached letter. TO: Metro Council FROM: Henry Oberhelman
2133 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 49: the 3 fingers of undesignated land north of hwy 26 - why are they undesignated? They should be rural reserve. 8D south of North Plains not correct. North Plains did its own studies, has had no discussion with Washington County since. Land was previously undesignated, now is "area with options" What does that mean? Area 8FX is not drawn correctly. 8FP should go along old Pumpkin Ridge. 8D also an area that is not correct. Will send a drawing in to the council. See attached letter. TO: Metro Council FROM: David Hatcher, Mayor of North Plains
2134 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 50: Represents Oak Hills Homeowners Association. Supports designating area 9 as rural reserves.Letter supplied, signed by association president Linda Kitchen. TO: Metro Council FROM: Norm Rose
2135 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 51: Splitting up Schlichting-Watzel-Sabbe properties north of the UGB off Roy Rogers makes no sense. It is all prime farmland and needs to be consistent. Did not testify. TO: Metro Council FROM: Bob Schlichting
2136 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 52: owns 115 acre farm since 1956 in the "L" in area 9B. Represents 400 acres of land just east of Wash Co line. These East Bethany properties are in an area of conflicted farmland, not highly productive. Last ag activity there was nursery and they are pulling out. Mult. Co CAC concluded area is suitable for urban reserve (area 9L).PCC Rock Creek is walking distance, school very nearby, urban infrastucture would be provided by Washington County. Would like to see this land as urban. See attached testimony and map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Bob Burnham
2137 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 54: Local grower and resident of Helvetia for 32 years. Hopes for sustainable future based on locally produced organic food. Need to cherish our rich soil, if we lose it we have to rely on importing food. Does not make sense to sacrifice farmland for urban spawl. Our best assets are favorable climate and good soils. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Michelle Hascall
2138 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 55: Resident of area 8FW. Should be rural reserve, is foundation farmland and important for natural resources. Vast areas in 6,7,8 that are undesignated should be rural reserves. They all meet OARs, cannot be served by HCT. Leaving undesignated would lead to speculation. Tualatin Valley has extremely fertile soils, historically half the farmland has been urbanized in this valley. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Faun Hosey
2139 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 56: Brooklyn Rd concept plan north will be a major thoroughfare providing for urban areas on both sides of the the road in Sherwood. I-5 connector is an urgent need for the City of Sherwood. TO: Metro Council FROM: Neil Shannon
2140 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 57: Area U6 does not meet the factors for urban designation. Did not testify. See attached letters. TO: Metro Council FROM: Christine Kosinski
2141 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 58: Farms 100 acres next to 8FS; this area has been suggested as undesignated, is concerned because it raises questions of future development, will land speculation drive up prices, will it affect Xmas tree business? Would like to see hwy 26 as the rural reserve boundary. See attached letter and map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Matt Furrow
2142 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 59: Hillsboro resident represents 7 landowners owning 160 acres in proposed undesignated 8FS. Requests designation of rural reserve. Trees planted 60 year ago grow well on Class 1 and 2 soils; speaker has 30 acres. Very few places have this quality of production. Competes on world market; 35% sold overseas, rest sold to Oregon companies for production of food goods locally. Need certainty to make investment decisions; splitting land into 3 designations creates uncertaintly, leads to speculation. City of Hillsboro wants our land for industrial sites, we are foundation lands 3 miles within UGB; rural designation is the only designation that will give us certaintly. Supports ag and natural resources map. See attached letter and map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Don Schoen, Rolling Acre Hazelnuts
2143 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 60: His land is designated rural reserve, yet farms to the west are designated urban reserve. If he has a road and sewer on his farm, why is he designated rural. Did not testify. TO: Metro Council FROM: Lloyd Wetzel
2144 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 61: Area 4J: why is area between Canby and the river undesignated? One way in and out, through residential streets, go through Canby 100 times a day. We are finding less water, problems with farm practices next to residential causes conflict. Farming infrastructure in area has vanished. Farm related support businesses are gone. Classify land north of Canby as undesignated, as the city of Canby has requested. See attached letter and map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Stephen Montecucco
2145 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 62: Area has been designated rural based on soils alone. Below blue line and beside red line on the map, there are 215 acres. These are sandy loam, County has agreed to bring this land in, leaving 100 acres of sandy loam running east to west. This last area should not be designated rural as it is parcelized. Clack Co Farm Bureau is also coming out with this position tomorrow. This position on lands north of Canby is in agreement with the City of Canby position. Light green on map designates floodplain. Schrader farm, located on map, did request to be in a rural reserve. See attached maps. TO: Metro Council FROM: Susan Myers
2146 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 63: Property at 25460 SW Baker Rd is an island in the middle of an urban area and cannot meet the criteria for agricultural operations. Has berry crops, vegetables, flowers, nursery in area 5E on Baker Rd (60 acres); tough area to farm. Would be better for urban use because properties surrounding is parcelized. Two roads in, weight restrictions, water restrictions in area. Too many conflicts, no ag infrastructure support, wetlands in area. Urges consideration of this property for urban reserve. TO: Metro Council FROM: Tim Parsons
2147 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 64: Portland resident owns 120 acres proposed as undesignated in 8FS; wants it to be rural designation to continue farming, also contains native american site. Land is adjacent to 8B (urban reserve); by proposing her land as undesignated, is open to industrial aspirations of Hillsboro. Noxious weeds will contaminate her crops. Need to make Helvetia Rd the boundary in area 8. Land is foundation land within 1/4 mile of the UGB and is foundation farmland. See attached letter and map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Deloris Grossen
2148 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 65: Reconsider designation of 8B that is proposed as urban and 8FS that is proposed as undesignated. Washington County Reserve Association scenic tour route should not be undesignated. Box buildings have been built and are vacant, view corridor has been destoyed. Helvetia Rd west to North Plains: if developed, will lose valuable farmland and view corridor. Designate this corridor as rural reserves (8B and 8FS as rural reserves). See letter, map, photos. TO: Metro Council FROM: Adrian Amabisca
2149 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 66: Core 4 map is a significant reduction in our aspirations. 700 of 1900 acres are developable. City will gain about 35,000 people over the next 50 years. Core 4 map will not accommodate over 1500 dwelling units. City's identified areas can be served without too much expense, heavily parcelized. Must have flexibility to accommodate growth. Expansion has to be decided as a region; is not imminent. TO: Metro Council FROM: Mayor Denny Doyle, City of Beaverton
2150 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 67: Letter on behalf of Scotch Church Rd families and farms (9 farming families) who are within proposed urban reserve UR-C; please designate area of UR-C as rural reserve. Did not testify. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jean Edwards Muir
2151 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 68: Expand urban reserves to what cities requested. Did not testify. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jeff Roberts
2152 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 69: Lands south of Sherwood and ot the west of I-5 should be rural reserve land. Support small farms. Did not testify. TO: Metro Council FROM: Ron Johnson
2153 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 70: Developers in area have similar interests to environmental community. Large developable land; failure to protect would lead to clean water act and endangered species act issues. Need to address issues up front. Title 13 provides protection after the fact, does not protect upland wildlife habitat. Will require plan amendments and alternative processes that do not necessarily lead to protection. There are layers on the map done with Metro that indicate that there are a number of acres of environmentally sensitive lands. Protect resources ahead of time rather than waiting for title 13 after the fact. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Paul Whitney, Tualatin Riverkeepers
2154 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 71: Area north of 8A, adjacent to 8B, should remain undesignated (between North Plains and Hillsboro); infrastructure has already been paid for, will become important area in future. Pete's Mtn. should be undesignated. Good for high end homes, is not good farmland. TO: Metro Council FROM: Ryan O'Brien
2155 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 72: Recruiting manager for Intel: having rural areas north of 26 is a key selling point to attract recruits to this area. Last year UN food and ag report said population will increase to 9 billion people, ag production capacity needs to increase 70%. Helvetia area could attract solar companies, but demand has fallen, China is the biggest solar producer now; solar revolution is happening in China, not here. Germany and Spain have cut their subsidies to the solar market. Genentech factory was built in the middle of the field (wasting land), Hillsboro has not done a good job in how they allocate land to companies. Area along 26 was supposed to be high tech high paying jobs. However, contains retail businesses. Adopt agriculture map and keep industry below 26. See attached letter. TO: Metro Council FROM: Steve Kasper
2156 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 73: Worked in high tech for 30 years, grew up on a farm. City of Hillsboro and Washington County are seeking to convert 8B and 8 FS to large lot industrial sites. This concept is flawed. Hi tech are outsourcing their jobs, automation is taking the place of employees. Employees are losing jobs, new jobs hard to obtain by local citizens. 78% of new jobs are created by small businesses; we should be supporting the small businesses. Limited logic of supporting biopharma, solar and other high tech industries. Why are we trying to expand a failing and incomplete infrastructure? Adopt rural reserves for areas north of hwy 26. See attached letter and map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Allen Amabisca
2157 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 74: NAIOP members last year presented economic mapping study to RSC. Focused on study areas north of Hillsboro. Subarea south of 26 has lowest property taxes, etc. Information to develop on foundation farmland north of 26 was based on pre-recession 2005 data, is not accurate now. 600 acres of foundation farmland (8B and 8FS) were requested by the City of Hillsboro for industrial development. Adopt the ag and natural resources coalition map. See attached letter and map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Cherry Amabisca
2158 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 76: GDP of Portland was compared to other cities. As urban density of cities increases, so does GDP. To protect farm and forestlands, we need to increase densities in urban cores. See attached handout. TO: Metro Council FROM: Greg Mecklem, Washington County Farm Bureau
2159 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 77: Stafford resident states that Stafford should be an urban reserve. 1,284 acres are unconflicted. Farms have not been sufficient to provide good income. Area does not have good soil because of salt level. Low habitat areas can be developed further. Lead opponents in areas has less than 2 acres and opposes others making good use of their land. TO: Metro Council FROM: Mike Stewart
2160 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 78: did not testify. Asking you to support an Urban Designation with conditions for what is known as 9B or the L and the adjacent lands east and west to the City of Portland and to Cornelius Pass Road. Testimony includes: A Partial Analysis of the Lands West of Forest Park, Letter from the City of Beaverton to Charles Beasley Re: East Bethany Area and map showing 9B and 9C. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jim Irvine
2161 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 79: regarding 2000 acres between 185th and Banks, 8A (urban area south of 26): go to Sunset Hwy to create borders, because of little irrigation, clay soil types, allow separation of ag traffic and commute traffic. Ag farm bureau does not necessarily represent all of their members. A lot of members do not feel that ag and urban growth have to be in conflict. Farms in area north of North Plainsbut is moving because of sprays, noise, dust (is currently in UGB). TO: Metro Council FROM: Marty Cropp
2162 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment: need 15,217 new dwelling units in the city. Medium density accommodated on 400 or so acres would be 37.5 units per acre. Revised Core 4 map has balance of values. No written testimony. (Found copy of this testimony in Comment No. 66) TO: Metro Council FROM: Don Mazziotti, City of Beaverton
2163 1/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment: Oppose urban reserve east of 65th, oppose urban reserve in Stafford, support land south of Tualatin as urban reserve (5E) ; 5F as urban reserve except for one area. Attachment missing. TO: Metro Council FROM: Councilor Bateman, City of Tualatin
2164 1/21/2010 Email: Oppose the urban reserve designations for the Sherwood area, especially areas 5A, 5B and 5D. Opposed due to the future increase in traffic, these lands are important agricultural lands and development would affect the Tualatin National Wildlife Refuge. 5E, 5F and 5G are more suitable for development. TO: Carl Hosticka FROM: Marianne Germond
2165 1/21/2010 Email: Asking for support of the Agriculture and Natural Resources Coalition's proposal for designationson Urban and Rural Lands, specifically asking that Area 1A in Troutdale be designated as Rural Reserve. TO: Kathryn Harrington FROM: Sydney Thomson

2168 1/21/2010 Email: Includes letter: Put our property in the Urban Reserves or at least leave it as undesignated so that you do not take away the versatility of our land. To lock up our land in the Rural Reserves for 50 years is ridiculous, it does not take into account that things change. Property located at 40926 NW Verboort Rd. TO: Reserves FROM: Sam Van Dyke
2169 1/21/2010 Email: Wants to voice support for the 51 acre site in Washington County, just north of the Mercedes Benz dealership in Wilsonville and East of Interstate 5 to be designated as Urban Reserves. TO: Reserves FROM: Jim & Ann Allen
2170 1/21/2010 Email: Re: Rural Reserve Area 41; Strongly support designation of Area 41, Pete's Mountain and the lands surrounding it - as a Rural Reserve. It satisfies factors in both the Natural Features and Agricultural Lands categories.

2171 1/21/2010 Email: Lives in Urban Reserve Area 4H and does not believe that this area is well suited to be included within the urban reserve area and Wilsonville's UGB. This area, along with additional areas east, have been reviewed in previous UGB expansions and rejected due to factors such as large working farms, inability to be served by sewer, water and transportation services. TO: Reserves FROM: Bill Ciz
2172 1/21/2010 Email including letter: RE: Area 5G Urban, Parcels 1, 2, and 3 Partition Plat 1995-165. Has had discussions with Metro staff about maps with property lines. The above properties on Grahams Ferry Road are partially included in proposed Urban Reserve Area 5G. Wants to know if the line would be adjusted to property line boundaries. He would like all of the entire properties included in the Urban Reserve. TO: Metro Councilors & Metro Planning FROM: Bob Hartford
2173 1/21/2010 Email: Wants the following properties to be included in the areas approved for Urban Reserves: 25550 NW Meek Rd., Hillsboro; 2330 SW 325th, Hillsboro. The overriding purpose of having Urban Reserves designation is to allow for and plan for economic and residential needs for 40-50 years. In that regard, I request you support the proposal that would include the above 2 properties. Written by son-in-law of Maxine Erdman TO: Kathryn Harington, Charlotte Lehan, Jeff Cogan, Tom Brian & Reserves FROM: Gary Gentemann

2175 1/21/2010 Comment turned in at URR Metro Council Hearing: No urban for all of north Stafford. Clackamas Co. already more than fair with amount of Urban Reserve and including Damascus not yet used. On existing Urban Reserves agreed on: The 24,000 acres now agreed upon should not be increased any further. (No name on comment card) TO: Metro Council FROM: Unknown
2176 1/21/2010 Testimony in lieu of speaking: Urge the Core 4 and the Metro Council to designate the 34,340 gross acres initially proposed for Urban Reserves by Washington County, including the 20,000-25,000 gross acres in Urban Reserves and the remainder in undesignated space. It is Metro's objective to keep the green spaces between the Portland UGB and the nearby adjacent communities' UGB's. Each of these communities are connected by roadways and supporting infrastructure. These are exactly the arteries that industrial development can occur at. TO: Metro Council FROM: Mark Childs
2177 1/21/2010 Letter: Sherwood additional comments on proposed Urban Reserves; If the area currently identified as area 5E is not designated Urban Reserve, it will undermine our ability to provide a complete balanced community that is based on a good transportation system with provisions for employment land and housing. Attachments include: Sherwood Pre-qualifying concept plan, Appendix 2 of Washington County Reserves Coordinating Committee recommendation and Map of proposed modifications to the Bragdon/Hosticka map. TO: Metro Council, Core 4, Jim Patterson, Tom Pessemier & Julia Hajduk FROM: Keith Mays, Mayor of the City of Sherwood
2178 1/21/2010 Letter: Area bounded by Stafford Road, Advance Road, Neuland Creek Canyon and on the north by the boundary line between EFU land and R5 residential land (this block of land is commonly known as the Near East block), should not be placed in Rural Reserve status. TO: Metro Council FROM: Steve Zandhuisen
2179 1/21/2010 Testimony: Wants to talk about areas 8C, the 9A,B, and C options, and 6C and D. A large portion of the infrastructure needs and costs for N. Bethany occur in area 8C, this in large part is why area 8C is necessary for N. Bethany to be a successful and viable community. These lands can't be confused with Helvetia farm land. The Core 4 and the Washington County technical staff interpreted this land for Urban Reserve, until the Hosticka/Bragdon map was presented on December 11. Feels some areas just need to be left undesignated. Includes map of North Bethany and handwritten notes. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jeff Jorgenson
2180 1/21/2010 Testimony: Feels that the section of 4D, which is drained by Newland Creek, should be Rural Reserve or left undesignated. West Linn has requested a rural zone, which included Pete's Mountain and the fertile valley to the west. The properties along the western side of SW Newland Road should also be Rural Reserve or left undesignated in order to form the western boundary of this proposed Rural Reserve. Includes Map TO: Metro FROM: Nancy T. Waller, Ph.D.
2181 1/21/2010 Testimony: Why do we need to keep spreading the growth boundaries into the fertile soils and the limited water aquifers that are used to grow healthy organic food and herbs? There is plenty of opportunity and value to be had in staying within the present boundaries and going up like in the European theater. TO: Metro Council FROM: Michael Arnett
2182 1/21/2010 Email: Comment on area referred to as North Hillsboro, with the border being Sunset Highway. Portland needs more space to grow.

2187 1/21/2010 Email: Support Rural Reserve for Stafford Basin. Not condusive to urbanization due to extreme slopes and constrained nature of area. While not technical Foundation farmland, it is farmland nonetheless. Feels Reserves process started out as open and inclusive has turned into a sham with backroom deals. TO: David Bragdon, Rod Park, Carl Hosticka, Kathryn Harrington, Rex Burkholder, Robert Liberty, David Adams, [email protected] FROM: Curt Sommer
2188 1/21/2010 Email: Stafford resident, recommending all of Stafford Triangle be included as Urban Reserve. Farms in area are not viable, are not and never will be profitable. Protect true farmland.

2189 1/21/2010 Agenda: Metro Council  
2190 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 1: Asks that area 4G, the area north of Mercedes Benz dealership, be designated as an urban reserve so that the Veteran's Center can move forward from the planning stages. This project would provide something that does not exist at this point. 34% unemployment rate for veterans in Oregon compared to 11% in the general population. See attached documents. TO: Metro Council FROM: Rick Peters and Chuck Lusardi
2191 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 2: Stafford resident refers to Hamlet vision document as a way to harmonize differing views of residents. 70% of residents agree that they do not want to be urbanized, but they want to be fair to their neighbors in terms of fair EFU modifications. Also, would like to see small and controlled development. This is in agreement with the 3 nieghboring jurisdictions. TO: Metro Council FROM: Carol Yamada
2192 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 4: Spoke regarding concern about the rural designation for Multnomah Channel moorages/marinas. Business is in Area 9; he owns Rivers Bend Marina. This area is a low suitability for rural reserve. Exhibit 6 in packet shows all area 9 with rural designation with no possibility of upzoning and will not allow additional growth in the marina. He needs undesignated in this area. See attached package including maps. Includes revised copy of testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jan Hamer
2193 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 5: This process must be completed; we must have predictability for landowners. Agrees with Clack Co. CAC to protect foundation farmland, specifically in French Prairie area. Tonquin Geologic area/Coffee Creek/Coffee Lake: 5F is shown as urban, 5E as option land; please make these areas rural. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Tony Holt
2194 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 6: Stafford resident suggests double-loading roads to provide a residential buffer on both sides of the street, for example, on Wisteria. Could put a barrier on both sides. Also, some areas are not difficult to build on; hilly areas have been built on in the past. TO: Metro Council FROM: Pat Ebert
2195 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 7: Referencing map 3 in Wilsonville packet, east section of 5E: support rural reserve designation for the eastern portion; it is within the Tonquin geologic corridor. It is among Metro's highest priority riparian areas. The area is in 100 year floodplain, as is land down into area 5F. Land adjoining to the south has been designated as rural reserve area; this is a logical extension of that area. TO: Metro Council FROM: Steve Hurst, Councilor, City of Wilsonville
2196 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 8: Thank you for maintaining French Prairie as a rural reserve; needed to preserve high dollar agriculture industries. Requests 1,380 total acres in small parcels around current city limits for primarily residential development. Each of areas mapped in blue (areas 4 and 5); support areas adjacent to the city limits. Have concerns about Tonquin and Coffee Lake. These areas are on Metro landscape features map (area 10 on that map). 3rd map in packet, area 5F, is in wildlife refuge, which is in conflict as it is designated urban reserve. Need to protect Tonquin Corridor. Eastern portion of 5E. 5E and 5F south of Sherwood - seems to be because of the I-5 connector. Will not relieve congestion in surrounding towns. See attached resolution 2225 with maps. TO: Metro Council FROM: Tim Knapp, Mayor of Wilsonville
2197 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 9: Owns property at Homesteader and Stafford Rds. (tax lots 900 and 901): this is the northernmost property in east Wilsonville that was suggested in the past for industrial inclusion. Has been a family farm for 80 years and intends to continue farming, but does not want it to be put into a rural reserve. So far it is undesignated, and he is happy with that. See attached map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Gary Rusher
2198 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 10: Has property in area 9B, would like it to be developable. Area is conflicted for farming. If an urban reserve, it would support the Bethany village town center. Saltzman Rd. connection to Springville Rd. - extension of road would offset the planning of the "L'. Area 5E: supports urban reserve. TO: Metro Council FROM: Matt Wellner, Metropolitan Land Group
2199 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 11: Area 5E (eastern) is part of flood plain and should be rural reserve, 4G and 4H should be urban reserve. 4F is a sloping hill area so should be a rural reserve. TO: Metro Council FROM: Michele Ripple, Councilor, City of Wilsonville
2200 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.12: Strafford Hamlet does not belong in urban reserves. 87% approved the hamlet vision. They can create a concept plan for the area. There is wildlife habitat. Rural business and small farms would benefit from an undesignated or rural status. SDC's only support partial infrastructure costs; taxpayers pay the rest. There are too few residents to make sewer and water cost effective. See attached letter. TO: Metro Council FROM: Ann Culter
2201 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 13: Stafford resident says that region wide designation of 24,000 acresfor urban is too much. Should be at the lower end, the 15,000 range. Damascus has not been fully used. North Stafford should be undesignated or rural. Jurisdictions cannot afford increased infrastructure costs. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Larry Read
2202 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 14: City of Cornelius values heatlhy industry, cultural diversity, affordable housing choices, walkable communities, etc. Regional map does not provide Cornelius with as much urban space as desired, but there is some space for development they want to do. Supports the regional proposed map as a compromise. Agree with property owners SE of 345th that this area should remain undesignated. Would like to make minor nuetral adjustments that make good planning sense. See Attached Testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Bill Bash, Mayor of Cornelius
2203 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 15: Spoke on preservation of French Prairie farmland and the Tonquin geologic area. French Prairie should be a rural reserve as shown on the ag and natural resource coalition map. Other places grow corn for fuel, we need to preserve land for food. Tonquin should be preserved as a landscape feature and a diverse wildlife habitat. Does not want Langdon farm area urbanized. See attachee testimony TO: Metro Council FROM: Kari Muldrow
2204 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 16: 4A should be a rural area. Questions phrase "collaborative governance." Only way to preserve 4A's character is to designate it as a rural reserve. See attached document on Stafford. TO: Metro Council FROM: David Adams
2205 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 17: Supports the agriculture and natural resource coalition map. Agrees with using the undesignated rule as a tool while remembering the importance of protecting ag land. Spoke on area 5A and 5B and 5E and 5F. The City of Sherwood areas of urban reserve requests are excessive. 5E and 5F needs to be rural reserve. See attached letter dated Jan 21, 2010 TO: Metro Council FROM: Stacey Rumgay
2206 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 18: Regarding French Prairie: This is the highest quality ag land in the state so needs to be preserved. Also, preserve the Tonquin geologic area. Over 90% is in Marion County, so we need to protect the area of French Prairie that is in Clackamas County. Developing this area will leave it employment nuetral, which will serve few, profit few and feed none. See the attached handout, including map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Ben Williams
2207 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 19: You cannot tax what we do not earn; we have to provide for employment needs of the area. Jobs generate payroll and income taxes. Maps show urban areas expanding by 11%; 220,000 acres are for rural reserves, 28,000 acres for urban needs. If willing to develop within the urban areas, this will work, but not all areas are available to be developed. See attached graph. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jonathan Schlueter, Westside Economic Alliance
2208 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 20: Public sentiment regarding the Stafford area strongly favors rural designation. Stafford does not fit easily into either urban or rural reserve criteria. Area 4A and area 4C (south east area) are being considered for urban designation. Just to save foundation land elsewhere is not a reason to designate these areas as urban. There were 203 signatures and another 22 residents on petitions that were for rural designation. Summary was created from spreadsheets summarizing public letters but this summary was flawed. Residents strongly refuse urban designation. 85% want it kept semi-agricultural. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Alan Rosenfeld
2209 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 21: 4C, Borland Rd area has serious transportation problems, does not meet urban criteria, and development would have negative impact on the existing communities. Willamette Nieghborhood Assn (5000 residents), requests rural designation. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Midge Pierce
2210 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 22: Asks that you look at Stafford as a whole and make it rural or undesignated (area 4). See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Julia Simpson
2211 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 23: The Stafford Basin should have a rural reserve designation to retain the livability and affordability of the area, including in the three surrounding cities. The three cities cannot be expected to supply infrastructure to the Stafford Basin. Only 5 areas of infrastructure can be charged to SDC's (most cities do not charge fully for SDC's), leaving the rest of the cost to the taxpayers. This would be a costly area to urbanize. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Robert Thomas
2212 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 24: Regarding areas 4A through 4D: Can designations stand up? Will we arrive at an empirical result or descend into horse-trading? Have to look at how designations are made; to benefit profit-takers, or do we conserve and re-purpose the old? Adhere to the factors and the spirit of the process. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Kevin Bryck
2213 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 25: Clackamas County Farm Bureau is not part of ag and natural resource coalition. Spoke regarding designations in the City of Canby area. Objects to area north of Canby designated as rural; should be undesignated. Area is landlocked except through residential streets of Canby. There are over 80 owners of this land. There are no buffers with surrounding residential areas. See attached map and letter. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jason Montecucco, Clackamas County Farm Bureau
2214 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 26: Reconsider proposed designations north and south and east of Canby; change to undesignated. South and east of Canby: would like this area to be undesignated. Easternmost section cannot be farmed because of interface with residential areas. East Molino Rd is not being farmed. Should be undesignated. Owners south of Canby, along Mollala River, (owners Larry and Betty Faist) should be undesignated instead of rural reserve. East and north would be good for commercial and industrial. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Randy Carson
2215 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 27: Comment on 5G on west side of Wilsonville: proposes that area be expanded north, with Coffee Creek and floodplain as boundaries. If it were residential, would provide the nearest housing for any jobs in Wilsonville industrial area. Desired buffer zone would be maintained by existing Metro land. There is an outstanding area that could be parkland. Currently there is not access to the Metro public space, but urbanizing that area could provide access. TO: Metro Council FROM: Michael J. Weedman
2216 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 28: Stafford Triangle north of Tualatin River, would like to emphasize that it should be designated as rural reserve. Would be difficult and expensive to develop this area. The roadways are seriously compromised already. Would have to have significant changes to hwys 43, 205 and the Stafford interchange. The rural reserve factors do apply to the Stafford Triangle, especially north of Tualatin River (lists factors). There is potential for localized agriculture in this area. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Scott Hinkle
2217 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 29: provided written testimony opposing designating 5E and 5F as urban. Preserving undeveloped farmland and bringing jobs back from overseas are important to her. TO: Metro Council FROM: Christine Warren
2218 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 30: Objects to putting any foundation farmland or natural resource land in urban reserves; they are public assets. It is not necessary to use this land to provide employment lands. Stop taking the course of the expedient and do what is right. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Theresa M Kohlhoff
2219 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 31: Group opposes annexations when it involves taking good farmland. If the City of Canby want designations changed from rural, the rural associations around Canby were not notified. All 4 associations were not contacted about this process. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Robert Backstrom
2220 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 32: Ag and natural resource map is a sensible compromise. Metro region has the very best and most productive soils in the entire country. We need to save what we can of what's left. Supports the ag and natural resource map. Includes testimony and letter dated Jan 15, 2010. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jean Fike, East Mult Soil and Water Conservation District
2221 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 33: Regarding Area 4J north of Canby; should be designated as a rural reserve; wonders why the City is involved with it. Land is being used to grow vegetables in that area, and it needs to be preserved. Leave it all as rural reserve. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jack Pendleton
2222 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 35: Comments on areas 5I (change boundaries), 5E (should not be urban); see notes; did not testify. TO: Metro Council FROM: Tanya and Mike Stricker
2223 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 36: Stable land use policy going out 40-50 years is really important; is important to agricultural communities' decisions regarding investments. 90% development during the last UGB change happened in the original UGB. Maximize rural reserves, minimize urban reserves. Per note on testimony Mr. Leckey did not testify. Testimony Attached TO: Metro Council FROM: David Leckey
2224 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 37: Agrees with preserving farmland. Spoke about area northwest of Sherwood, northern 5B area: the whole basin is one contiguous flat farmland. Good that northern area is designated rural; southern area of 5B should also be considered rural. His farm is 200 acres of foundation farmland that is very productive. Taking any farmland and turning it into urban reserve is not good. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Bob Schlichting
2225 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 38: Several speakers advocated that the Stafford Basin be left alone. Lives next to Tualatin River. Stafford Bridge is being built and wildlife is being displaced. No longer safe to ride a bike in the area. This area is still pristine, beautiful and is a buffer. If area is to be developed, do it in a way to benefit all in the region. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Anita K. Derry
2226 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 39: Grows filberts and trees on 360 acres in the Ladd Hill area. As a commercial farmer, this process will help us keep ag support infrastructure in place and protect our land. Adopt map by Clack Co CAC; it generally agrees with the ag and natural resource map with two exceptions. Area 5H urban should be a rural reserve as is area 5I; has all class two soils and is currently in farm use. Second change is the undesignated area north of the 5I rural area; it should all be in rural reserve, or at least should follow Mill Creek. All farms in the area are a combination of farm and forest land; forest land is actively managed. Designate all areas west and south of Wilsonville and French Prairie as rural reserves. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Peter McDonald
2227 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 40: Requests that Stafford Hamlet (area 4A) be undesignated; Metro would make a mistake by not listening to the neighboring cities that say that this area be undesignated. There are not significant areas that can be urbanized; less than 30% is suitable for development. There is a lot of rural habitat and natural features. 1,200 acres of this land is designated as conflicted. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jay Minor
2228 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 41: Spoke on behalf of the Friends of Goal 5 non profit: support preservation of farmland of the French Prairie area, opposed to urban sprawl in areas 5E and 5F; they are sensitive natural areas (Tonquin lands), do not want to see surrounding areas removed from protection to promote the I-5 connector. Testimony attached. TO: Metro Council FROM: Loretta Pickerell
2229 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 42: Spoke on behalf of theLeague of Women Voters. They studied Stafford in the 90s and support the area remaining outside of the UGB because of the cost of services. Development should be allowed dependent on availablity of services and the preservation of natural areas. Planning should be done for the area as a whole. Do not include the area in urban reserves. TO: Metro Council FROM: Joan Batten
2230 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 43: Supports the City of Tualatin's position. Requests support for Tualatin in developing the map of its future. Difference between 4D and 4E has to do with cost-benefit. Transportation is the no. 1 priority of the area. Wants to open up 124th and take it to Wilsonville. TO: Metro Council FROM: Linda Moholt, Tualatin Chamber of Commerce
2231 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 44: Spoke about southern arterial and topographical challenges in areas 5D and 5E. See attached testimony and maps. TO: Metro Council FROM: Michael Bowers, Community Development Director, Wilsonville
2232 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 45: Researched with LCDC an idea of regional problem solving to set up a pilot program of transferable development credits for the entire north section of the Stafford hamlet. Laws need to be refined to protect niche agriculture and small agriculture. There have to be incentives in place for this to happen. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Beatrice Molly Ellis
2233 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 46: Spoke on behalf of landowners association of Cooper Mtn. Submitted map for area 6B, critical that area not be reduced as it will affect their Great Communities Concept. Boundary for 6B matches this concept plan exactly.See attached brochure. TO: Metro Council FROM: Ric Stephens
2234 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 47: duplicate; see comment no. 26 TO: Metro Council FROM: Randy Carson
2235 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 48: Identified land adjacent to the city, 10 parcels of land that could be moved into urban reserves. Looked at based on projected population and business growth and ability to provide urban services. East, west and north side of the city. 4F should be labeled urban if area 4G is included. 4G should be urban. 5H urban should be urban. Spoke on 4D, 4F, 4G, 4H, 5G and 5H. See attached letter and maps. TO: Metro Council FROM: Ray Phelps, City of Wilsonville Planning Commission
2236 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 49: He farms 300+ rental acres near the UGB in area 8A off Evergreen Rd. This area is ideal for development and would not be a loss for agriculture as the type of soils are not productive and are not irrigated. Also farms a large portion of 8D south of North Plains. Feels this will be of great benefit to the area as industrial. Per note on form Mr. Coussens did not testify. TO: Metro Council FROM: Paul Coussens
2237 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 50: 5th generation farmer requests that farm at 19020 Roy Rogers Rd, currently in rural reserve, be put into urban reserve. It is near Roy Rogers Rd and other areas designated as urban reserve. His farm will end up as an island in urban development. There is a sewer trunk line through his farm. Not possible to farm using Roy Rogers Rd. as transport line. TO: Metro Council FROM: Lloyd Wetzel
2238 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 51: Area 3C: idea was to look at flatter areas regarding connectivity; west of hwy 213, Mill Creek Canyon, should be excluded as an urban reserve, it should be undesignated, has steep slopes. Concern with including Hewett (Newell?) Creek in an urban reserve as it cannot be urbanized. Please reconsider this particular area and leave undesignated. Could use conservation easements where necessary. TO: Metro Council FROM: Doug Neeley, Commissioner, Oregon City
2239 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 52: Did not testify; submitted letter regarding support for rural designation for area 4I. Leave area 4D undesignated. Rather than adding unanticipated urban reserve areas to Clackamas County, consider reducing the total no. of acres designated as urban reserve regionally. TO: Metro Council FROM: David Pollack
2240 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 53: Adding urban reserve area near Thatcher Rd, hwy 27 (area 7B) would allow for future industrial and commerical growth. 213 acres industrial, plus commercial and residential with some vegetative areas. Would allow 1,600 dwelling units and 4,000 jobs. 7A area would be reduced. Forest Grove has enough water to handle this growth, electricity is already there. Would be in tandem with providing HCT to this area. Wetlands, corridors can be protected within the urban reserve designation. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Mayor Peter Truax, City of Forest Grove
2241 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 54: Regarding business development, agrees that not enough attention given to business development in this process; need land for best use for the business community.

2242 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 56: Has Vanasche family farm, 2000 acres of owned and leased land. Support ag and natural resource coalition map. Washington County has lost 40% of its agricultural base since 1970 based on ODA information; cannot lose more farmland or we will lose support businesses, etc. Concerned with foundation farmlands; would like to see all of them put into rural reserves, especially north of Council Creek, and near Hillsboro, Evergreen Rd area. these areas meet all factors for rural designation, have best soils, have existing buffers, close to UGB, do not meet the urban reserve factors. We ask cities to conserve their lands for re-development as farmers are asked to conserve their land. Land south and east of Cornelius is of similar quality compared to north of Council Creek. North of Cornelius: present buffer is at Sunset Hwy. TO: Metro Council FROM: Dave Vanasche, President of Washington County Farm Bureau
2243 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 57: The ag and natural resource map is a new idea. Washington County Farm Bureau talked about using the area 6A, St. Mary's property (2,000 acres), for residential but it could also be used for industrial. Washington County has not taken this land seriously. Washington County wants to designate too much urban land. Have they thought of new ideas? When will Washington County stop putting 10 acre buildings on a 100 acre site? Agriculture is a business and needs to be supported. TO: Metro Council FROM: Larry Duyck
2244 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 59: 5E should be designated rural reserve, along with undesignated area south (51 and 54). Did not testify; see notes. TO: Metro Council FROM: Ron Johnson and Terry Ferrucci

2251 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 67: Areas A, B and C and D should be allowed to retain rural character. Area is a good buffer. Designating the above areas as urban will mean costs will be passed along to citizens. We do not support excessive growth that will change the character and liveabililty of our area. TO: Metro Council FROM: Gina Olson
2252 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 68: Provided written testimony addressing 8 factors for urban designation, and why the West Linn Council supports a rural designation for the Stafford area. Council voted unanimously for rural designation on March 23 and July 27. Tax increases would not be approved in this economic climate. Area 37 is one of six most difficult areas to serve re: infrastructure. Many slopes in this area are in excess of 20% slope. See attached testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Terri Cummings, Councilor, West Linn
2253 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 69: Spoke on the future of energy prices and the cost of food. Oregon could re-invent itself based on its agricultural heritage. Shared facts that there is an increase in worldwide population. Average food travels 1,500 miles. 70% of food cost required by cost to produce it. Peak oil production will occur in 2020. Need to save our local farmland because of the above issues. See notes. TO: Metro Council FROM: Carol Montclair, Planning Commissioner, City of Wilsonville
2254 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 70: Joins all three cities in opposition to the urbanization of the Stafford area. See attached testimony and Exhibit A and letter from Jack Hoffman, Lake Oswego Mayor. TO: Metro Council FROM: John Surrett, LONAC

2257 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 73: The City of Lake Oswego does not support the urbanization of the Stafford Area. Their aspirations focus on redeveloping their centers and corridors and preserving neighborhood character. Would not be a wise use of their taxpayers money; are not in a position to provide services to the Stafford area. The City of Lake Oswego would support rural designation, with some urban designation along the Borland Corridor, but would require improvements along the I-205 corridor. TO: Metro Council FROM: Mary Olson, Councilor, City of Lake Oswego
2258 1/21/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment: Has received many calls from constituents to keep the Stafford area rural.

Our school district has been investigating land acquisition for construction of a future new school in the SW area of our district to accommodate expected future growth in the area.

2298 1/25/2010 Letter: Would like to convince you to support the Hosticka/Bragdon map of Urban and Rural Reserves.A point he would like to make is that our laws in regards to the environment are stronger than any county laws or rules and I believe stronger than most communities in Clackamas County.

TO: Carlotta Collette FROM: Bill Bash, Mayor of Cornelius
2299 1/26/2010 Email: Concerned that you are endorsing the Urban Reserve option which severly limits our opportunities for employment growth. Refers to the PBA retreat last week and the presentation from Tim Dur, economist from UO. Washington County has demonstrated they can attract exactly the kind of business growth that we need to reverse this awful pattern, and by restricting their successful outcomes is economic suicide. Please reconsider your choice. TO: Rex Burkholder FROM: Randy Miller
2300 1/26/2010 Email: Member of Westside Economic Alliance and is concerned that Metro planners are setting aside only 24,000 new acres for urbanization, while potentially placing 224,000 acres off limits to development. While this may sound attractive to those focused on restricting our urban footprint, in practice it would require wholesale redevelopment of existing neighborhoods and high density development of new areas, This is neither feasible nor desirable. We would encourage the Council to press for a substantial increase in developable lands that can accommodate ruture growth without destroying existing neighborhoods and dramatically increasing our cost of living.

2304 1/27/2010 Email: Subject: Thoughts on Cornelius; Includes Cornelius Reserves Discussion Area 2 map and Concept for Cornelius document. He has the bias of attempting to convert the natural areas (non developable not limited to wetlands, stream corridors, flood plains) legitimately utilizing park SDC's and or other exactions, generated from development in the balance of the area. It is his contention these fragile lands are best protected in public domain rather than following the current practice of leaving them in private holdings. If we follow that concept it matters not whether they are designed as Urban or Rural. Discussion document talks about the map and his thoughts. TO: Robert Liberty FROM: Jim Irvine

2330 2/3/2010 Email: In favor of designating the west hills, area 1 or 9a,9b,&9c as Urban Reserve.

The Chicken Creek area is well known as one of Sherwood's treasures. This area has been identified by Metro as having high value for wildlife habitat. There is no substantiated justification for moving the UGB up against that, particularly given the well studied connections between the environmental health and economic health of a community.

2352 2/9/2010 Email: Please protect important natural features within the Tualatin Valley. Non of the following should be in Urban Reserves. They should be in the regional Rural Reserves.

2353 2/9/2010 Email: Please designate the area north of Council Creek as a Rural Reserve. Its in the heart of Tualatin Valley farming.

2362 2/10/2010 Email: Appreciates Rex's stand on the urban and rural reserve process. Spoke with Jim Johnson and his areas of greatest concern from a strictly agricultural perspective are North Hillsboro, especially the part that extends north of Waibel Creek all the way to Hwy 26, the undesignated areas around North Plains, Banks and the Helvetia area, the "option" area north of Cornelius (Council Creek) and the lands adjacent to Troutdale. TO: Rex Burkholder FROM: Lynn Youngbar
2363 2/10/2010 Email: Thanks to Rex for his support, urges him to stay strong working with Washington County on the IGA. People making the decisions on land to become urban reserves have never worked in high-tech and are basing assumptions on 1980's model of industrial spawl and too much time with developers. Washington County and City of Hillsboro making flawed assumptions about their high-tech needs.Attachment missing. TO: Rex Burkholder FROM: Charry Amabisca

2366 2/10/2010 Email: Petition including original testimony and letter signed by 31 people in area 9B (NW Springville Rd, NW Springville Lane and NW Cherrio Lane). Petitioner states that UR1 (area 7) should not be leftundesignated. The area supports tree farms, organic farms and CSA gardens as well as provides a buffer for sensitive wildlife habitats. There is no public transportation and development costs would be high. Information was originally presented to Metro Council meeting on December 17, 2009.

2367 2/10/2010 Letter: Re: Latest Core 4 map as of Feb. 8, 2010 has slightly expanded the undesignated around the Baker Rock Resources Quarry located at 21880 SW Farmington Road and Cal/Portland's Cobb Rock Quarry at 21305 SE Koehler Rd.We believe this to be an excellent decision. The recent refinement of undesignated manages the concerns of future known Quarry expansion to the South, but leaves Baker Rock Resources with known expansion properties in the Rural Reserve path along the western edge of Clark Hill Road. Properties both north and south of the Green Slope Road area are properties either held by Baker Rock resources or under option/consideration for future known expansion. Baker Rock Resources respectfully requests inclusion of the above described properties as undesignated in the final UR/RR maps. TO: Core 4 Steering Committee & Kathryn Harrington FROM: Keith E.

2372 2/10/2010 Email: Please designate Area 9B as Rural Reserve during the upcoming negotiations between Metro and the 3 counties. Designating Area 9B (Springville "L") in the West Hills as Rural Reserve will avoid creating unsolvable traffic problems, and spending an extraordinary amount of money that could better serve the needs of many more people elsewhere. TO: Reserves FROM: John Telford
2373 2/10/2010 Email: Subject: Area 9B; The idea to designate area 9B as an urban one would be one that should be thoroughly discussed so that it would not be to the detriment of the humans around, but to the flora and fauna around.

2375 2/11/2010 Email: Regarding South Cooper Mountain area; the THPRD Board was unanimous in saying that if the Core 4 draft map can be revised, the area's designation should be changed to reflect the MPAC recommendation. Urban development should be focused along the north side of Scholls Ferry Rd, central part east of 175th Ave. should be undesignated, and West of 175 Ave. should be designated rural. Contains response from Tom Brian as to why this would not be possible. TO: Tom Brian, Kathryn Harringtno, Dennis Doyle, Larry Pelatt FROM: Doug Menke, Tualatin Hills Parks and Recreation District
2376 2/12/2010 Email: Working toward a solution in Stafford; Although Tualatin has withdrawn their desire to serve the Borland area, the writer is hopeful that TDRs can be implemented in this area. Perhaps this is the time to re-examine Goal 5, to consider extending the offer to purchase Transferable Development Rights (TDRs) from all Measure 49 claimants in all the EFU lands that Metro seeks to include in the Urban Reserve.This would have to be a cooperative step, and if not financially possible, Metro could leave those areas undesignated at this time.

Jim Park's property, next to Tim's and also necessary for the CWS sewer line, is still in an urban designation. He doesn't understand why this happended, although it may have to do with a misunderstanding of whether he was willing to dedicate an easement for the Clean Water Services' sewer line to North Bethany.

2385 2/17/2010 Email: In the memoranda of understanding, is Metro willing to accord us any assurence whatsoever that they will honor the resources of the EFU (in addition to wildlife habitat and riparian resources)? We have no evidence that Metro will respect our goal of preserving the opportunity to farm the EFU lands and larger tracts (through an equitable voluntary incentive-based system such as TDC, for example). If Metro chooses to disregard the work of the people of the Hamlet, they cannot expect our support.

2386 2/17/2010 Email: Some members of the Multnomah County Board of Commissioners seem to believe that if they vote to make 9B a rural reserve (instead of leaving it undesignated), that it would be a deal-breaker in regional reserves negotiations.

2577 5/18/2010 Email: Do not add Peterkort property to urban reserves - long term costs outwiegh the short term benefits.

2581 5/19/2010 Email: Forest Park Neighborhood Association Board of Directors made a resolution on May 18 in opposition to the Washington County proposal to bring the Peterkort property into urban reserves. The addition of 77 acres of urban development at this site will inevitably harm adjacent rural lands and roads in our area. Letter attached.

2582 5/19/2010 Email: Urban rural reserves process - Ask that you do not support Washington County's urban reserve proposal. In particular, the writer and Slow Food Portland opposes the proposed designation of 212 more acres of rural roads, says that prime farmland along hwy 26 should be rural reserve, and not undesignated, asks that you do not approve the Peterkort property as an urban reserve and says that foundation farmland south of the Troutdale rural reserve should be made a rural reserve. See attached letter. TO: Rex Burkholder, Robert Liberty, Rod Park, Kathryn Harrington, Carlotta Collette, Carl Hosticka, David Bragdon, FROM: Katherine Deumling
2583 5/19/2010 Email: As a member of the state Board of Agriculture and on behalf of the Portland Farmer's Market, the writer is troubled that Washington County has recently requested that additional properties be designated urban reserve and to urbanize urban roads, as there has been a two year process that has come to a close. How can you negotiate with an individual property owner (Peterkort) when we are supposed to be evaluating properties based on 'factors' in the law?

2587 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.1: Objects to bring in areas 4A-4D into the urban reserve (Stafford Basin). Argrees with bringing 5E, 118 acres into UR. Also agrees to area 4E to UR. Do not adopt ordinance no. 10-1238 with its supporting Attachment A unless areas 4A, 4B, 4C and 4D are identified as undesignated. See letter and maps. TO: Metro Council FROM: Doug Rux, City of Tualatin
2588 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.2: North Stafford area should not be UR. All recommendations until February have been for undesignated. North Stafford does not meet the factors for UR. Would not meet statewide planning rules. 69% of residents agree that City should oppose development in the Stafford area. Title 11 concept planning says that a local govt must be resp for concept planning before inclusion in UGB. See memo, testimony, letters and maps. TO: Metro Council FROM: Chris Jordan, City of West Linn
2589 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 3. Objection to Peterkort property designation change. Washington County is asking for 129 acres be included in UR that will result in urban development in middle of rural farmlands. Will encourage congestion on local roads. Need to maintain buffers, road is not as good a buffer as the rock creek floodplain. There is no other good edge north of Rock Creek. See letter. TO: Metro Council FROM: Mary Telford
2590 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 4: UI benefits paid out are up, 1 in 5 Oregonians using food stamps. We need to have efficient use of public resources to create jobs and build on existing clusters of businesses that will also reduce infrastructure costs. See chart Prosperity and Poverty in Oregon, May 20, 2010. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jonathan Schlueter
2591 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.5: Attorney for Boboski property, 9.6 acres, currently designated rural reserves, asks that it be changed to undesignated or urban reserve. It does not meet any standards for rural reserves. In middle of residential subdivision, cannot be defined as ag land, etc. All had voted that it be UR initially. Was UR until December 2009 when it became RR. See large packet re: objection to Washington County designation of such 10 acre exception parcel as rural reserves while it and region designates EFU-zoned foundation agricultural land urban reserves or undesignated. TO: Metro Council FROM: Wendy Kellington
2592 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.6: Reject last minute changes to rural/urban designations already agreed upon by the 3 counties and Metro earlier this year. A lot of public input occurred. Last minute changes do not respect the process. Multnomah County had a good process with no last minute changes. Objects to Peterkort property as urban reserve: sewer line was known throughout process, additional development will overburden roads. See written testimony. TO: Metro Council FROM: Kevin O'Donnell
2593 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 7: Spoke re: 35 acres ( tax lots 100 and 102 of tax map 3S1W04A) in west Clackamas County. 10 acres are undesignated, remainder of parcel was left open. Would like to see a minor adjustment of this property to undesignated. Also spoke of alignment for Alt 7. See letters and maps. TO: Metro Council FROM: Matt Wellner
2594 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 8: Pete's Mountain is designated rural reserve. Feels that it should not be rural reserve as it does not meet factors; this is a political play in Clackamas County. Three past commission members said that this process was driven by the County Chair. 12 people who own 900 acres who feel their property should be undesignated. See letters, map and affadavits. TO: Metro Council FROM: Gordon Root
2595 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 9: Skyline Blvd resident supports the position of Save Helvetia on Peterkort property; it should remain rural reserve. It should remain a buffer, otherwise it will become an island of development. There are no traffic plans for Germantown Rd. Need to keep it as rural reserve and prevent further urban growth. Verbal testimony only. TO: Metro Council FROM: Claudia Martin
2596 5/20/2010 Metro Council Hearing Comment No.10: Adopt urban reserve ordinance as based on the Feb 25 reserves map. The urban reserves are substantial and sufficient and should not shift due to last minute changes. Consider reinvestment solutions within the UGB. See attached letter. TO: Metro Council FROM: Jim Emerson
2597 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.11: Lives north of Hillsboro, farms adjacent to Evergreen Rd. All his farmland is now designated UR; he's not happy about that. Back door dealing (like Peterkort example) that happens after the process is completed is objectionable. Please don't support that kind of planning. The process was important and need to be honored. Why is it that Washington County has more of this? Why leapfrog the boundary across the road? No buffer between fields and urban leaves problems for farmers, such as untreated weeds. Verbal testimony only. TO: Metro Council FROM: Bob VanderZanden
2598 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.12: Objects to Peterkort property being changed to urban reserve. Land use planning in Oregon is a model. Now, it has gone away from the process set up 35 years ago. It's no longer about the facts, its about the deal. Peterkort property is an example. Washington County cut a deal with the Peterkort property owners for an easement in return for UR designation. In the past, green spaces would be used as buffers. Verbal testimony only. TO: Metro Council FROM: Larry Dyke
2599 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.13: President of Washington County Farm Bureau who farms between North Plains and Cornelius is opposed to Peterkort property coming into UR. The future of agriculture in Washington County has been destroyed. Council Creek area and Evergreen Rd areas: concerned about traffic issues; lots of urban traffic. Presently has 5000 cars a day going by his farm. Other issue is the loss of ag infrastructure to new UR areas. Farmers depend on them to sustain their farm operations. Insurence data shows that the severity and frequency of accidents in Washington County between farm equipment and other vehicles has increased. See attached letter. TO: Metro Council FROM: Dave Vanasche
2600 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.14: Tree farmer urges no change to Peterkort property from RR to UR. Abuts Portland city limit and deals with vandals, dumpers, etc. Rock Creek floodplain works as a perfect buffer. If there is an island of urbanity, it will grow outward. 185th and Germantown are both country roads. Cannot service an urban area. Externalities of a few people making a lot of money selling their land will lead to conflilct with rural uses. Verbal testimony only. TO: Metro Council FROM: Cori Bacher
2601 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.15: Do not change designation of Peterkort property to urban. This land is a wildlife corridor, has a valuable wetland, better serves as this than as urban land that benefits just a few. TO: Metro Council FROM: Eloise Bacher
2602 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.16: In Washington County, ground gets put into urban areas based on well-moneyed developers. Peterkort is an example of this. Is dangerous because there is the floodplain used by animals. Peterkort donated land for an easement, but a road is also needed. How much money are you really saving, by putting into an UR? Urbanizing next to farmland creates problems; a buffer is needed. Washington County has said several times that if they don't get their way, they will blow up the whole thing; they would not do that because they have too much too lose. TO: Metro Council FROM: Greg Malinowksi
2603 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.17: Proposed reserves do not reflect the balance required. Wash County URs are almost all on foundation farmland that is subject to urbanization, turning the reserves rule on its head. Land north of Council Creek and Forest Grove area is rural reserve material - it meets all factors. Reconsider it please. Peterkort property and roads issue in Washington County - no reason this could not have come up earlier. Roads double-loaded: this is a policy change and not a technical change. Double-loaded roads result in urban standards that enable expansion of roads. Do not consider this. Treatment of roads need not be treated the same in all areas because the roads are of many different types. See attached letter from 100 Friends of Oregon. TO: Metro Council FROM: Mary Kyle McCurdy
2604 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.18: Additional informaitoon about Peterkort property including sewer report from 2008. It is not new information. Includes covenent signed by Peterkort family in February 2010 regarding their deal. If Washington County had an issue, it should have been on the map in January. RR designation does not block any activities proposed to this property. Rock Creek is an important natural feature with steelhead habitat. PCC does not want additional roads coming into their campus. Both previous maps showed this as RR; should remain the same now. The Peterkort property is two tax lots. See timeline, memos, maps and covenant. TO: Metro Council FROM: Carol Chesarek
2605 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.19: Save Helvetia group voices opposition to change of Peterkort property to UR. Why was it not on maps so that public could register their concerns? Please stay with boundary at Council Creek. Regarding the 212 additional acres and right of ways:fFarmers were not aware that this was a done deal and have expressed that urban improvements on their rural side will make it much more difficult to plow, spray, till, etc. Roads here need to be used as a buffer. The Bobobsky request was denied by Washington County commissioners and we agree with that. Verbal testimony only. TO: Metro Council FROM: Cherry Amabisca
2606 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No.20: Objects to Peterkort change. Adding 300-500 homes there is counter productive. The developer does not want to pay for a bridge - may make their development non-profitable. Engineering and design and permitting has not been done. The rational edge is the watershed. UR vs UGB: only makes sense if it is brought into the next UGB change. Area may not be buildable due to landslide and earthquake areas. See letter, maps, documents. TO: Metro Council FROM: Joe Rayhawk
2607 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 21: Stafford Triangle area south corridor comments - concerns over expanded growth, wish to express that we are opposed to allowing development without a concept plan by the City of West Linn. Willamette corner is a walkable workable community of 5000 people. In the south Borland corridor there are no good transportation fixes. Will only get worse. Roads in this area fail. see attached letter and map. TO: Metro Council FROM: Midge Pierce
2608 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment No. 22: Cornelius urban reserve is larger than has been recommended by all groups and the State agencies. Spoke about the roads issue Could have consistancy by making all roads rural. Safety concerns seem to be focussed on urban constituents. Need to be equally responsible for farmer safety. Read March 12 article by Dave Van Asche. TO: Metro Council FROM: Laura Masterson
2609 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment: Letter: Sherwood School District request for urban reserve designation south of Sherwood. The 10 acre parcel Is located at 24325 SW Baker Rd. Handout - no verbal comments. TO: Metro Council FROM: Dan Jamison, Sherwood School District
2610 5/20/2010 URR Metro Council Hearing Comment: City of Sandy is concerned about the proposal to extend the Metro urban reserve area halfway to the City of Sandy. Adoption of urban and rural reserves as presently proposed will violate or 1998 Rural Reserve/Green Corridor Intergovernmental Agreement. Includes letter from Mayor Linda K. Malone dated May 17. Letter only - no verbal comments. TO: Metro Council FROM: Scott Lazenby, City of Sandy
2611 5/20/2010 OVERSIZE EXHIBIT NO. 32: DIGITAL RECORDING, METRO COUNCIL MEETING - This recording will be accessible until its retention has been met  
2612 5/20/2010 Letter: Washington County's proposal to change the designation of 212 acres of land from rural to urban, in order to "double load" these roads, is a bad idea. Unnecessary urban improvements to roads will increase their cost, which is paid out of SDC funds. Maintaining rural reserve designation for the rural side of boundary roads is the best way to protect our agricultural land and our farmer's ability to continue farming. TO: Metro Council FROM: Brian Beinlich

2615 5/20/2010 Email: Including letter regarding the rural reserve designation for land south of highway 212, as proposed by the exhibitis in the IGA, is inconsistent with statutory and regulatory requirements and is not supported by substantial evidence.

2627 5/24/2010 Email: Road right of ways - leave the rural side of the road rrual and make improvements to the urban side as required. Peterkort property - reject this change; it is a sneaky way for a developer to make a buck. Standring parcels - don't change this from rural to urban; if the Helvetia interchange needs to be improved, the government has the right of eminent domain.

Mr. Duyck said that he wanted to develop their property into an industrial park with neighbor Dave Armstrong.The ordinance takes away plans for private development, makes silly the millions of dollars spent on bridge, sidewalk and other urban services and infrastructure north of Cornelius and denies the community the right to grow to a sustainable balance.

2726 3/15/2011 Public testimony: if we accept the 13,500 acres assigned to Washington County for urban reserves, it represents a 2% consumption of our agricultural areas over 50 years time.

2728 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Property owners north of Cornelius desire to be in an Urban Reserve, providing Cornelius with the much needed space for industrial expansion.

Difference in value of agricultural land depends on if it is in an urban reserve (speculative value) or farm value - approximately $70,000 per acre difference. TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Bob VanderZanden, Dave Vanasche, Dave Tonges, Larry Duyck of the Washington County Farm Bureau
2733 3/15/2011 Public testimony: All of the factual data supports an urban reserve designation for land north of Cornelius. Supports the 350 acre urban reserve compromise for land north of Cornelius.

2735 3/15/2011 Public testimony: City of Hillsboro's Crusade for Large Lots: In the last 30 years, only 1 company has built on more than 100 acres and only 2 companies have bought more than 50 acres. Hillsboro has a 100+ year supply (annualized) of industrial land without industrializing Helvetia.

Undesignated areas around North Plains, and urban reserves in the Helvetia area, south of hwy 26 and Cornelius north of Council Creek are predominately on class 1 and 2 soils. TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Greg Mecklem
2737 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Seeking Solar Industry: Is Hillsboro Getting it Right? Hillsboro is not attracting solar companies and land availability is not the reason. Hillsboro offers millions of square feet of empty manufacturing and commercial space for lease as well as vacant industrial land both inside the UGB and in already approved urban reserves. She stated that over 5,000 acres is a hundred year supply and more is not needed. Within 50 years, productive land will be a worldwide scarcity. Reject the addition of more urban reserves north of highway 26. Area D should be designated rural reserve. TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Faun Hosey
2738 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Family farm has not provided sufficient income for her family so they have had to find other work and lease the land to others. Supports an urban reserve designation for land north of highway 26 TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Analene Leppin Waterman
2739 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Supports the Hughes-Duyck Proposal.

TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Alayne Bryan
2740 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Recommended we stop while we still have some quality land here, farmland that will be desperately needed in the future.

TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Paula Adams
2741 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Ms. Gates indicated that she and her husband farm 310 acres. Spoke about Helvetia's High Value Farms - Practicing sustainable agriculture for 125 years: described high value farms, premium seed crops, hazelnuts, Christmas tree farms, nurseries and greenhouses, dairy, camelid and beef ranches, soils and field tiling (field installed subsurface drainage systems equal 125 years of continuous capital investment). Helvetia soils are superb Class I, II, III soils; 40% of the remaining Class I soils are in Washington County. Ms. Gates urged preservation of Helvetia’s farming community and its Class I soils. Supports rural reserve for Area D. TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Pam Gates
2742 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Testified with Pam Gates. Farms approximately 250 acres. He specified that 100 acres of the most valuable land is just off the north corner of Area D. He has quite a bit of experience farming next to urban areas and has had problems. Mr. Furrow stated that Highway 26 would be a better buffer than West Union Road. TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Matt Furrow
2743 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Clarified that Save Helvetia has been consistent over the last two years in advocating for rural reserves north of Highway 26 (which includes the greater Helvetia area). Endorses the State Agencies letter and said it recommends rural reserves north of Highway 26, north of Waibel Creek and north of Council Creek. Ms. Amabisca said that according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Oregon land and agriculture declined by 1.3 million acres in the ten years from 1997 to 2007. She stated that in the five years from 2002 to 2007, the pace accelerated—almost doubling the rate from the first five years. Ms. Amabisca asked that the soils, usage, and long-term sustainable 150-year tradition of farming north of Highway 26 be looked at and in favor of a designation of rural reserves. Verbal testimony only. TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Cherry Amabisca, Save Helvetia
2744 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Submitted letter on behalf of Mayor Sam Adams and Commissioner Amanda Fritz. Supports a conservative approach with respect to Urban Reserve 7I (North Cornelius); remove the urban reserve designation and do not replace it with additional land elsewhere in Washington County. Land in 7I represents 2% of total UR; there is no compelling reason to replace URs on a one for one basis. Narrow approach reduces the scope of a legal appeal and the likelihood that an appeal will prevail at the time of the next UGB decision. TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Bob Clay, City of Portland
2745 3/15/2011 Public testimony: The City of Cornelius does not have any industrial land because almost all of the industrial belongs to one person in small pieces spread out. TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Hon. Neal Knight, City of Cornelius
2746 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Disagreed that the LCDC oral decision was actually a decision. Said that land north of Cornelius is the only land suitable for industry; south is not suitable because the utilities are not there, it is low land, etc. He summarized that the south land is only suitable for residential or neighborhood commercial or a school. Mr. He said that Council Creek is not a boundary now; if it is a boundary for 50 years, it stops growth within six blocks of the future light rail station. Mr. Meyer said that the City loses good companies if they do not have breathable space.
TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Richard Meyer, City of Cornelius
2747 3/15/2011 Public testimony: The current proposal wil lead to protracted hearings and appeals because the areas north of Council Creek qualify as rural reserve and do not qualify as urban reserve or undesignated, adding more land is not responsive to LCDC's directive, balancing test in region has not been done, almost all of the Foundation farm land designated for urban reserves is in Washington County (82%), only industry with a 100+ year track record of using large lots is agriculture. Recommends designating entire area north of Council Creek (7I and parts of 7B as rural reserves, trim urban reserve area 8A). The state agencies strongly support using the lower end of the planning period authorized for reserves - e.g. forty years,. TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Mary Kyle McCurdy, 1000 Friends of Oregon
2748 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Spoke on context and process. Thinks that supporters of farmland were not included properly from the beginning in the process, specifically in Washington County's process. Best not to designate land as urban that people are determined to hang onto as farms in perpetuity through their families. Supports a lot of what was said by the Farm Bureau, Save Helvetia and others who think that it is a very smart idea to pay attention to the State Agency letter and to make decisions accordingly. This is probably the best way to minimize the necessity for a lot of lengthy litigation. Verbal testimony only. TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Linda Peters
2749 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Supports designating all reserves north of highway 26 as rural, including the 585 acres in Helvetia.

Designate some or all of the Hillsboro Airport property as urban reserves to save taxpayer money and prime farmland. Written testimony only. TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Miki Barnes
2750 3/15/2011 Public testimony: LCDC did not require or even suggest that it would be a good idea to replace remanded urban reserves.

2751 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Owns property in Area 7C. Says that the area east of Cornelius is a highly urbanized area with city water. He stated that the vacant farmland in Hillsboro does have value. When you see a 70-acre piece of ground that is zoned industrial, that land is creating jobs sitting there vacant. There are a lot of small manufacturers that are earning a living on the coattails of Intel and other large companies. Verbal testimony only.
TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: John Van Grunsven
2752 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Commented on past process issues. He believes that in the developed and committed areas along Spiesschaert and Hobbs Roads, the value of people’s homes will be destroyed by a change to industrial zoning since the area of consideration was expanded dramatically. Verbal testimony only. TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Walt Betschart
2753 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Handout of powerpoint presentation: Hillsboro has promised all this before: Helvetia industrial land is lowest in market value, payroll and property tax revenue, averages less than 3 employees per acre, warehouses and distribution centers have low economic benefit. He reported that at the present time, there are 150 acres in 50 acre and smaller lots listed for sale in this area. He added that to Intel’s 92 acres and the 252 acres that have not yet been annexed to equal 492 acres. Mr. Beinlich stated that the result is an industrial wasteland. Reject the addition of more urban reserves north of highway 26. TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Brian Beinlich
2754 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Re-affirms content of letters dated October 14, 2009 and January 22, 2010 from the nine state agencies to the Reserves Steering Committee.

Written testimony only. TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Christopher James, The James Law Group LLC, cc to Dan Cooper, Henry Lazenby, Robert Burnham, Hank Skade
2756 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Faxed comment supports an urban reserve designation for north of Cornelius; Cornelius should be given the same opportunties as larger cities such as Hillsboro. Written testimony only. TO: Metro Council and Washington County Commissioners FROM: Matthew Larrabee, Washington County Planning Commissioner
2757 3/15/2011 Public testimony: Opposes proposed changes to urban and rural reserve designations by Washington County.
