Ida B Wells High School Rebuild Land Use Appeal	172	98%
Other business	3	2%

Thursday, October 15, 2026, a recessed continuation of the October 14 Council meeting.
Council President Dunphy called it back to order at 2:01 p.m. (5:39 on the recording); the meeting adjourned at 3:09:53 on the recording.
Only one matter was heard: the land use appeal over the Ida B Wells High School rebuild.
The council voted 12-0 to tentatively deny the appeal and add a new public-access condition offered by the school district.
Final findings and vote were set for a later date.

Ida B Wells High School Rebuild Land Use Appeal

7:40-1:56:20, 2:06:09-3:09:00

Item: document 2026-347, an evidentiary hearing on an appeal by the Hillsdale Neighborhood Association of the hearings officer's approval of the conditional use review to rebuild Ida B Wells High School (case LU 26-026160 CU AD). The city attorney Lauren King explained the quasi-judicial rules; before testimony Councilor Green, Vice President Clark, Councilor Morillo, Councilor Ryan and Councilor Zimmerman disclosed constituent emails, site visits or other contacts, and none declared a conflict.
Staff report by planner Andy Galicia with transportation reviewer Tammy King: the hearings officer approved the conditional use, a taller field-light adjustment and larger scoreboard signs, with four conditions (plans consistent with approval, outdoor public-address system off by 9:30 p.m., field lights off by 10 p.m., and four public access easements). The appeal does not seek to overturn the approval. It asks for three added conditions: (1) a bike easement on the central campus driveway as well as the adjacent pathway, (2) pedestrian improvements on Burlingame Avenue at the northeast corner, and (3) public access to open areas and recreation facilities when the school is not using them. Staff said the new building has the same student capacity, so there is no added trip impact to justify transportation requirements, and that requiring neighbor recreation access would be a broader reading of the zoning code than in the past (eight other public high school rebuilds since 2015 had no such requirement).
Council questions to staff: Councilors Zimmerman, Koyama Lane, Clark, Ryan, Pirtle-Guiney and Novick asked about the driveway, bollards and farmers market, the existing de facto (unprotected) public use, the precedent of the new reading of the plan policies, and school-by-school access standards. Councilor Ryan also asked for the neighborhood's share of the school bond tax; staff said it is not relevant to the legal question.
Appellant: Valerie Friedman and two association colleagues said they support the modernization but asked the council to keep safe bike and pedestrian routes and after-hours access to the grounds. They argued the driveway is mapped as a city bikeway and neighborhood walkway, that the 6-foot clear pathway is substandard for shared use, that closing the Burlingame path forces pedestrians into a narrow, uphill street without sidewalks, and that fenced, gated fields would end long-standing informal use of the track by older and disabled residents. They said they have asked the district for a good neighbor agreement without response and do not object to the fence itself. Supporting testifiers raised the same points, plus concern about public notice signs that did not show the fence.
Applicant: Christy White, land use attorney for Portland Public Schools, said the district offers four new access easements (three ungated, one gated during school hours), the remodeled public pool, the farmers market site and a civic use of buildings reservation program, and argued the code gives no legal basis for more public open space or a driveway easement (the proportionality rule gives no new impact to offset). She read a new condition: public access to the track, tennis courts, softball field and multi-use field from 6 to 8 a.m. and 5 to 9 p.m. on weekdays and 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends and non-school days, subject to school and scheduled uses, with the district able to close the campus for vandalism, emergencies or safety incidents and to exclude individuals who break rules. She said fences are allowed outright and a safety necessity, citing a school shooting in central Oregon that day. The district said the Burlingame change closes only a short spur at a curve and replaces it with a raised, safer entrance.
Supporters of the district: school staff, coaches, an athletic director, parents and several high school student leaders described vandalism, graffiti, theft, dog waste, unauthorized events and safety fears, and asked for gated, reservation-based use. (Students are not named here.)
Appellant rebuttal: the association welcomed the new condition but, caught unprepared, asked for a 5 a.m. start, afternoon opening nearer the end of the school day, summer access to 10 p.m. or sunset, and inclusion of the courtyard and practice field; it kept its Burlingame and driveway requests.
Deliberation: Councilor Avalos backed the compromise and rejected the appeal on precedent grounds. Councilor Smith liked the compromise but wished the district had shared it earlier and suggested a 10 p.m. summer end. Councilor Zimmerman called the new condition the bare minimum, enforceable and better than a good neighbor agreement, urged the district to extend hours after a good summer, and saw no legal path on the Burlingame corner. Vice President Clark was inclined to uphold requests 1 and 2 (the driveway and pathway) and asked how vandalism would be defined. Councilor Green was leaning toward Zimmerman's approach and on the fence about the driveway. Councilor Ryan praised the compromise, and Councilor Pirtle-Guiney asked staff whether the area plans could support the requests; staff said the transportation plan does not apply outside the public right of way and the trail rules apply only to a planned development or subdivision, not a conditional use review.
Vote: Councilor Zimmerman moved, seconded by Councilor Smith, to tentatively deny the appeal, uphold the hearings officer's decision and conditions, add the district's access condition, and direct staff to return with revised findings. It passed 12-0 on the roll call. Staff will return for adoption of findings and a final vote at 2:30 p.m. on November 5, 2026 (the speaker called it Wednesday; November 5 is a Thursday).

Other business

The opening included roll call (captions garbled the first names called) and the reading of the decorum rules; the council president said the concealed handgun item would probably not be reached.
At adjournment the president held over the next agenda item (document number garbled in the captions) to a time certain of Thursday, October 29 at 2:30 p.m., and postponed item 2026-123 to a future meeting. No other agenda items were taken up.

15:17OKAY. GOOD AFTERNOON. I AM ANDY

15:19GALICIA. I AM THE PA PLANNER

15:21FOR THIS CONDITIONAL USE REVIEW

15:23TO REBUILD IDA B WELLS HIGH

15:24SCHOOL. I'M HERE WITH TAMMY

15:25KING, WHO IS THE TRANSPORTATION

15:27REVIEWER FOR THIS PROJECT. AND

15:28I'M GOING TO BRIEFLY SUMMARIZE

15:30THE PROJECT, THE HEARINGS

15:31OFFICERS DECISION AND THE

15:32APPEAL. THIS IS AN AERIAL

15:38PHOTOGRAPH OF THE SUBJECT SITE.

15:40THE PROPERTY IS BETWEEN

15:41SOUTHWEST VERMONT STREET TO THE

15:43SOUTH AND THE HILLSDALE TOWN

15:45CENTER ON SOUTHWEST CAPITOL

15:46HIGHWAY TO THE NORTH. THIS IS A

15:48PORTLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS CAMPUS

15:49WITH TWO DIFFERENT SCHOOLS THE

15:50IDA B WELLS HIGH SCHOOL ON THE

15:52EAST SIDE AND THE ELEMENTARY

15:54SCHOOL ON THE WEST SIDE. AND

15:55THE SITE ALSO CONTAINS AN

15:57OUTDOOR SWIMMING POOL AND

15:58SEVERAL ATHLETIC FIELDS. THE

16:02SITE IS WITHIN THREE DIFFERENT

16:03ZONING DISTRICTS. THE IR ZONE,

16:06THE R SEVEN ZONE, AND THE O S

16:07ZONE AND SCHOOLS ARE CLASSIFIED

16:10AS CONDITIONAL USES IN ALL

16:11THREE OF THESE ZONES, AND

16:12THAT'S WHAT TRIGGERS THE

16:13REQUIREMENT FOR CONDITIONAL USE

16:14REVIEW FOR THIS PROJECT. THIS

16:18IS THE EXISTING IDA B WELLS

16:20HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING. THIS

16:21OPENED IN THE 1950S. CLASSES

16:23WOULD CONTINUE IN THIS BUILDING

16:25DURING CONSTRUCTION, AND ONCE

16:26THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING IS

16:27OCCUPIED, THIS BUILDING WOULD

16:29BE DEMOLISHED. AND THIS IS THE

16:32SITE PLAN PROPOSED FOR THE

16:33CAMPUS. THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL

16:35BUILDING WOULD BE CONSTRUCTED

16:36JUST WEST OF WHERE THE EXISTING

16:37HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING IS A

16:39BASEBALL FIELD. TENNIS COURTS

16:40AND A PARKING AREA WOULD BE

16:42WHERE THE CURRENT HIGH SCHOOL

16:43BUILDING IS NOW. AND THE

16:45ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, THE SWIMMING

16:46POOL AND THE OTHER ATHLETIC

16:47FIELDS WOULD REMAIN IN THEIR

16:48CURRENT LOCATIONS. AND THIS IS

16:53A 3D VIEW OF THE PROPOSAL. THE

16:55NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING IS THE

16:57TALLER BUILDING TOWARD THE LEFT

16:58SIDE OF THIS DRAWING, AND IT'S

16:59FRONTING ON SOUTHWEST VERMONT

17:01STREET. SO THE HEARINGS

17:05OFFICERS DECISION INCLUDED

17:06THREE APPROVALS. FIRST, A

17:07CONDITIONAL USE REVIEW FOR THE

17:09NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING AND

17:10CAMPUS UPGRADES, FINDING THAT

17:12THE APPROVAL CRITERIA WERE MET

17:14FOR COMPATIBILITY, LIVABILITY,

17:16CHARACTER, PUBLIC SERVICES, AND

17:17NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY

17:19PLANS. SECOND, A ZONING CODE

17:21ADJUSTMENT TO ALLOW TALLER

17:22ATHLETIC FIELD LIGHT POLES.

17:24FINDING THAT APPROVAL CRITERIA

17:25WERE MET FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE

17:27HEIGHT LIMIT, LIVABILITY,

17:28APPEARANCE AND CHARACTER, AND

17:30LASTLY, SIGN CODE ADJUSTMENTS

17:32FOR LARGER ATHLETIC FIELD

17:34SCOREBOARDS. FINDING THAT

17:34APPROVAL CRITERIA WERE MET FOR

17:36AVOIDING SIGN CLUTTER,

17:38PROTECTING TRAFFIC SAFETY,

17:39VISUAL COMPATIBILITY, AND

17:41CONSISTENCY WITH THE

17:42DEVELOPMENT OF THE SITE. THE

17:46HEARINGS OFFICER IMPOSED FOUR

17:47CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL.

17:48CONDITION A REQUIRES THE

17:50BUILDING PERMIT PLANS TO BE

17:51CONSISTENT WITH THE PLANS

17:52APPROVED IN THE LAND USE REVIEW.

17:54CONDITION B REQUIRES THE USE OF

17:56OUTDOOR PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEMS

17:58TO END BY 9:30 P.M. CONDITION C

18:01REQUIRES THE ATHLETIC FIELD

18:02LIGHTS TO BE TURNED OFF BY 10

18:04P.M. AND CONDITION D REQUIRES

18:06FOUR PUBLIC ACCESS EASEMENTS,

18:08ALLOWING THE PUBLIC TO TRAVEL

18:09THROUGH THIS SITE AND THE

18:10PLANNED EASEMENTS ARE THE

18:11COLORED LINES ON THIS MAP. THE

18:15GREEN PATHWAY IN THE CENTER OF

18:16THE SITE IS ALONG AN EXISTING

18:18DRIVEWAY THAT HAS A PATHWAY ON

18:19THE SIDE OF IT, AND CONDITION D

18:22SAYS THE EASEMENT CAN DESIGNATE

18:23EITHER THE DRIVEWAY OR THE

18:24PATHWAY ALONG SIDE OF IT FOR

18:26CYCLISTS, AND THAT WORDING IS

18:28PART OF THE SUBJECT OF THIS

18:29APPEAL. THE HILLSDALE

18:33NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION FILED

18:34THIS APPEAL ON THE CONDITIONAL

18:36USE REVIEW DECISION. THEY DID

18:37NOT OBJECT TO THE ADJUSTMENTS

18:38FOR THE FIELD LIGHTS AND

18:40SCOREBOARDS, AND THE APPEAL IS

18:41NOT A REQUEST TO OVERTURN THE

18:43CONDITIONAL USE REVIEW. IT IS

18:44RATHER A REQUEST FOR THREE

18:46CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AND IN A

18:48LAND USE REVIEW, A CONDITION OF

18:49APPROVAL IS ALLOWED WHEN THE

18:50CONDITION IS FOUND TO BE

18:52NECESSARY FOR ONE OR MORE OF

18:53THE APPROVAL CRITERIA TO BE MET.

18:57FIRST, THE APPELLANT IS

18:58REQUESTING THAT THE PUBLIC

18:59ACCESS EASEMENT THROUGH THE

19:00CENTER OF THE SITE, WHICH IS

19:02THE GREEN LINE ON THIS MAP,

19:04DESIGNATES THE EXISTING

19:05DRIVEWAY FOR CYCLISTS AND THE

19:07EXISTING PATHWAY NEXT TO THE

19:08DRIVEWAY FOR PEDESTRIANS, AND

19:10REQUIRES SHARED LANE MARKINGS

19:11FOR BIKES ON THE DRIVEWAY. AND

19:13THE PHOTOGRAPH ON THE RIGHT

19:15SIDE OF THIS SLIDE IS LOOKING

19:16SOUTH ALONG THIS EXISTING

19:18DRIVEWAY. AND IN THIS PHOTO,

19:19THE RICKY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

19:20BUILDING IS ON THE RIGHT, AND

19:22THE PATHWAY NEXT TO THE

19:23DRIVEWAY IS ON THE LEFT. AGAIN,

19:25THE HEARINGS OFFICERS CONDITION

19:26OF APPROVAL SAID THE PUBLIC

19:27ACCESS EASEMENT IN THIS AREA

19:29COULD DESIGNATE EITHER THE

19:30DRIVEWAY OR THE PATHWAY NEXT TO

19:32IT FOR BIKES. CURRENTLY, THIS

19:34DRIVEWAY HAS BEEN USED BY BOTH

19:36CARS AND BIKES AS A CONNECTION

19:37THROUGH THIS PROPERTY, THE

19:39SCHOOL DISTRICT PLANS TO

19:40RECONFIGURE THIS DRIVEWAY SO

19:41THAT THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE

19:43DRIVEWAY WOULD END IN A CIRCLE,

19:44AND THERE WOULD BE NEW BOLLARDS

19:45THAT SEPARATE THE SOUTHERN AND

19:47NORTHERN SECTIONS OF THE

19:48DRIVEWAY, SO THERE WOULDN'T BE

19:49THROUGH ACCESS FOR CARS ON THIS

19:51DRIVEWAY ANYMORE, THOUGH CARS

19:52COULD STILL MOVE THROUGH THIS

19:54SITE ALONG THE BLUE LINE ON

19:55THIS MAP, ON THE NORTH AND EAST

19:57SIDES OF THE PROPERTY. AND THE

19:58REASON FOR THESE CHANGES IS

20:00BECAUSE THE SOUTHERN SECTION OF

20:01THE DRIVEWAY IS USED FOR THE

20:03ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PICKUP AND

20:04DROP OFF, AND THEY WANT TO MAKE

20:05THIS A SAFER SPACE. IN PRACTICE,

20:08BIKES WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO

20:09MANEUVER PAST THE BOLLARDS AND

20:11CONTINUE TO USE THIS DRIVEWAY,

20:12BUT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WANTS

20:14TO PRESERVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO

20:15TRY TO RESTRICT CYCLISTS TO THE

20:17PATHWAY IN THE FUTURE. IF THERE

20:18ARE CONFLICTS BETWEEN BIKES AND

20:20THE PICKUP AND DROP OFF

20:21HAPPENING ON THE DRIVEWAY.

20:23HOWEVER, BIKES WOULD ALWAYS

20:24HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE

20:25THROUGH THIS SITE ALONG THE

20:26DRIVEWAY DESIGNATED WITH THE

20:27BLUE LINE ON THIS MAP. IT'S

20:32IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE

20:33EXISTING CONDITION HERE IS

20:34ACTUALLY NO PUBLIC ACCESS

20:35RIGHTS THROUGH THIS PROPERTY.

20:37CURRENTLY, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT

20:38COULD LEGALLY BLOCK ACCESS

20:40THROUGH THEIR PROPERTY AT ANY

20:41TIME, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER

20:42PROPERTY OWNER COULD. THIS

20:44DRIVEWAY IS TREATED LIKE A

20:45STREET IN SOME PLANNING

20:46DOCUMENTS, BUT IT'S NOT A

20:47STREET, AND IMPLEMENTATION OF

20:49THE HEARINGS. OFFICER'S

20:50DECISION WOULD BE THE FIRST

20:51TIME THAT PUBLIC ACCESS THROUGH

20:53THIS SITE IS LEGALLY GUARANTEED.

20:55THE REBUILDING PROJECT WOULD

20:57NOT INCREASE THE NUMBER OF

20:58TRIPS ASSOCIATED WITH THE

20:59SCHOOL, BECAUSE THE NEW

21:00BUILDING WOULD HAVE THE SAME

21:02STUDENT CAPACITY AS THE

21:03BUILDING IT WILL REPLACE. AND

21:04THAT AFFECTED THE HEARINGS

21:05OFFICER'S ANALYSIS OF WHAT THE

21:06CITY COULD REQUIRE HERE.

21:08BECAUSE TRANSPORTATION

21:09REQUIREMENTS HAVE TO BE RELATED

21:10TO THE IMPACTS OF A PROJECT. SO

21:12THE HEARINGS OFFICER FOUND IN

21:14THIS CASE THAT ALL OF THE

21:15APPROVAL CRITERIA WERE

21:16SATISFIED, EVEN IF BIKES COULD

21:18BE EXCLUDED FROM THIS DRIVEWAY

21:19AND LIMITED TO THE PATHWAY. THE

21:23NEXT REQUEST BY THE APPELLANT

21:24IS FOR A CONDITION OF APPROVAL,

21:26REQUIRING THE SCHOOL DISTRICT

21:27TO CONSTRUCT ADDITIONAL

21:28PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS ON

21:29SOUTHWEST BURLINGAME AVENUE IN

21:31THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE

21:32SITE, AND THE APPEAL STATEMENT

21:35REQUESTS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT

21:36EITHER WIDENS THE EXISTING

21:37PATHWAY ENTRANCE AT THE

21:38NORTHEAST CORNER OF THE

21:40PROPERTY, WHICH IS ILLUSTRATED

21:41ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SLIDE,

21:43OR CONSTRUCTS A NEW PUBLIC

21:44SIDEWALK ALONG PART OF THE

21:45SCHOOL'S FRONTAGE ON BURLINGAME

21:47AVENUE, AND THAT'S ILLUSTRATED

21:48ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS SLIDE.

21:52THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PLANS TO

21:54CONVERT AN EXISTING DRIVEWAY

21:55ENTRANCE ON BURLINGAME INTO A

21:57PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCE THAT

21:58CONNECTS TO THE CAMPUS PATHWAY

22:00SYSTEM. THE CURRENT PATHWAY

22:02ENTRANCE AT THE NORTHEAST

22:02CORNER OF THE PROPERTY THAT THE

22:04APPELLANT SUGGESTS COULD BE

22:05WIDENED, IS AT A SHARP CURVE IN

22:07THE ROAD, WHICH CREATES

22:08POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUES RELATED

22:09TO SIGHT DISTANCE FOR DRIVERS,

22:11AND THE NEW PEDESTRIAN ENTRANCE

22:12WOULD BE FURTHER FROM THAT

22:14CURVE. THE APPEAL STATEMENT

22:16ALSO MENTIONS THE IMPORTANCE OF

22:18PEDESTRIANS NOT HAVING TO WALK

22:19IN THE STREET, BUT I WANT TO

22:20NOTE THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS ON

22:22SOUTHWEST BURLINGAME. SO EVEN

22:23IF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PROVIDED

22:25ADDITIONAL IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN

22:26THEIR FRONTAGE ON BURLINGAME,

22:28PEDESTRIANS WOULD STILL NEED TO

22:29WALK IN THE STREET OR ON THE

22:31SHOULDER TO REACH THOSE

22:32IMPROVEMENTS. AND THE HEARINGS

22:33OFFICER DID NOT FIND THAT THE

22:34IMPROVEMENTS REQUESTED BY THE

22:36APPELLANT HERE WERE NECESSARY

22:37FOR THE APPROVAL CRITERIA TO BE

22:38MET. AGAIN, THIS PROJECT DOES

22:40NOT INCREASE THE NUMBER OF

22:41TRIPS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS USE,

22:43WHICH AFFECTS THE ANALYSIS OF

22:44THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS

22:46THE CITY CAN REQUIRE. AND THE

22:51LAST CONDITION OF APPROVAL

22:52REQUESTED BY THE APPELLANT IS

22:54TO REQUIRE THE SCHOOL DISTRICT

22:55TO ALLOW PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE

22:57OPEN AREAS AND RECREATIONAL

22:59FACILITIES ON THE CAMPUS WHEN

23:00THOSE AREAS ARE NOT BEING USED

23:01BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT. AND

23:03THIS IS REQUESTED BECAUSE THE

23:04CAMPUS IS CURRENTLY UNFENCED

23:06AND THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PLANS

23:07TO CREATE A NEW FENCED AREA ON

23:09THE EAST SIDE OF THE CAMPUS,

23:10AND THAT'S REPRESENTED BY THE

23:12BLACK LINE AROUND THE NEW HIGH

23:13SCHOOL BUILDING AND THE

23:14ATHLETIC FIELDS IN THIS SITE.

23:15PLAN ON THIS SLIDE. THE APPEAL

23:20STATEMENT CITES THE APPROVAL

23:21CRITERION ABOUT THE HILLSDALE

23:22TOWN CENTER PLAN AND THE

23:24SOUTHWEST COMMUNITY PLAN,

23:25BECAUSE THESE PLANS HAVE POLICY

23:27STATEMENTS ABOUT THE VALUE OF

23:28COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND OPEN

23:30SPACES. THE HEARINGS OFFICER

23:32CONSIDERED THAT ARGUMENT, BUT

23:33HE FOUND THE APPROVAL CRITERIA

23:34COULD NOT REQUIRE A PROPERTY

23:36OWNER TO OPEN THEIR PROPERTY TO

23:38NEIGHBORS FOR RECREATIONAL USE,

23:39EVEN WHEN THAT PROPERTY OWNER

23:41IS A PUBLIC AGENCY. FOR CONTEXT,

23:44SINCE 2015, THE CITY HAS

23:46APPROVED LAND USE REVIEWS FOR

23:48MAJOR REMODELS OR REBUILDS OF

23:50EIGHT OTHER PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS,

23:51AND NONE OF THE PRIOR LAND USE

23:53DECISIONS INCLUDED A

23:54REQUIREMENT FOR PUBLIC ACCESS

23:55TO RECREATIONAL FACILITIES.

23:57EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE CITY

23:58APPROVED THE REBUILD OF

24:00JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL IN NORTH

24:01PORTLAND, FOR EXAMPLE. AND LIKE

24:03WITH ALL THE OTHERS, THERE WAS

24:04NO REQUIREMENT FOR RECREATIONAL

24:05AMENITIES TO BE OPEN TO

24:07NEIGHBORS. EVEN THOUGH THE

24:08HUMBOLDT NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN AND

24:09THE ALBINA COMMUNITY PLAN THAT

24:11APPLIED TO THAT CONDITIONAL USE

24:13REVIEW INCLUDES SIMILAR

24:14POLICIES ABOUT COMMUNITY

24:15FACILITIES AND OPEN SPACE. AND

24:17ACTUALLY, A MUCH GREATER

24:18PERCENTAGE OF THE JEFFERSON

24:19CAMPUS WILL BE FENCED OFF

24:20COMPARED TO WHAT'S PROPOSED FOR

24:22IDA B WELLS. I WANT TO

24:24EMPHASIZE THAT THE QUESTION

24:25BEFORE YOU IS NOT JUST WHETHER

24:27OR NOT NEIGHBORS HAVE A

24:29REASONABLE OR JUSTIFIABLE CLAIM

24:30TO A GIVEN DEGREE OF ACCESS TO

24:32THE SCHOOL CAMPUS. A BIG PART

24:34OF WHAT YOU'RE FACED WITH TODAY

24:35IS THE QUESTION OF WHETHER THE

24:37SCOPE OF APPROVAL OR THE SCOPE

24:39OF AUTHORITY, RATHER, OF THE

24:40ZONING CODE, CAN REQUIRE A

24:43PROPERTY OWNER TO GRANT THAT

24:45KIND OF ACCESS TO NEIGHBORS,

24:48AND FINDING THAT THE ZONING

24:49CODE CAN REGULATE THIS TYPE OF

24:50PROPERTY MANAGEMENT DECISION

24:52WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANTLY MORE

24:54RESTRICTIVE INTERPRETATION THAN

24:55WE'VE MADE IN THE PAST. AND I

24:58ALSO WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT

24:59ALTHOUGH GRANTING THIS APPEAL

25:00WOULD SET A NEW PRECEDENT,

25:01THERE'S NOT ANY WAY IN THIS

25:02LAND USE DECISION TO MAKE THIS

25:04EQUITABLE BETWEEN NEIGHBORHOODS.

25:05IDA B WELLS IS THE LAST WPS

25:07HIGH SCHOOL REBUILD TO GO

25:08THROUGH LAND USE REVIEW, AND

25:09THERE'S NOT ANY WAY TO REOPEN

25:11THE PREVIOUS LAND USE DECISIONS

25:12FOR THE OTHER SCHOOLS. SO IF

25:14THE APPEAL IS UPHELD, IDA B

25:16WELLS NEIGHBORS WOULD BE THE

25:17ONLY NEIGHBORS IN THE CITY TO

25:19HAVE A RECREATIONAL ACCESS

25:20RIGHT TO A SCHOOL CAMPUS THAT'S

25:21LEGALLY PROTECTED IN A LAND USE

25:23DECISION. SO THE OPTIONS BEFORE

25:26CITY COUNCIL TODAY ARE TO DENY

25:28THE APPEAL AND UPHOLD THE

25:29HEARINGS. OFFICER'S FINDINGS,

25:31DECISION AND CONDITIONS OF

25:32APPROVAL, OR TO DENY THE APPEAL

25:34AND UPHOLD THE HEARINGS

25:35OFFICER'S DECISION AND

25:36CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL. BUT

25:37REVISE THE HEARINGS OFFICER'S

25:39FINDINGS OR TO UPHOLD THE

25:40APPEAL AND MODIFY THE HEARINGS

25:42OFFICER'S FINDINGS AND

25:43CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL AND

25:44IMPLEMENT ONE OR MORE OF THE

25:46CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL

25:47REQUESTED BY THE APPELLANT. I'D

25:48BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY

25:49QUESTIONS.

25:50>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH,

25:51COLLEAGUES. WE WILL HAVE MORE

25:52OPPORTUNITY FOR DISCUSSION AND

25:54DELIBERATION, BUT IF THERE ARE

25:55ANY TECHNICAL OR CLARIFYING

25:57QUESTIONS FOR OUR STAFF AT THIS

25:58TIME. COUNSELOR ZIMMERMAN.

26:06>> THANK YOU. WITH RESPECT TO

26:09THE EASEMENT, I WANT TO MAKE

26:13SURE I'M UNDERSTANDING THE

26:14WORDS AND EVERYTHING AND THE

26:15LINES, THE GREEN LINE BETWEEN

26:17THE ELEMENTARY AND THE HIGH

26:18SCHOOL AND WHAT IS CURRENTLY A

26:22DRIVEWAY WITH PARKING SLOTS

26:24NEXT TO IT. AND I JUST NEED

26:29SOME CLARIFICATION IN TERMS OF

26:32WHAT IT IS IN THE HEARINGS

26:34OFFICER'S FINDING AND WHAT IS

26:35BEING REQUESTED SPECIFICALLY.

26:37AND IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF WHERE

26:39BIKES GO AND WHETHER OR NOT

26:40IT'S AN EASEMENT, MEANING IT'S

26:43PERMANENT AND IT'S BY LAW, OR

26:45IF IT'S BY CHOICE OF THE

26:46PROPERTY OWNER. AND I WANT TO

26:48MAKE SURE I'M GETTING IT

26:49CORRECT BECAUSE IT, IT WAS HARD

26:52TO READ ON THE MAP A LITTLE BIT.

26:54IF WE CAN JUST SPEND ANOTHER

26:55MINUTE ON THAT FOR CLARIFYING

26:56PURPOSES, THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

26:58>> YEAH. WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO

26:59SCROLL BACK TO THAT SLIDE?

27:01>> THAT WOULD BE GREAT. YEAH.

27:02>> OKAY. DO YOU WANT TO ADDRESS

27:04THAT?

27:04>> YOU'RE WELCOME.

27:06>> SO THIS IS THE GREEN LINE

27:08THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THIS

27:10IS AN EXISTING DRIVEWAY AND

27:12PATHWAY. AND THERE'S NOTHING

27:13THERE'S NO LEGAL RIGHT TO USE

27:15THIS. NOW. IT'S JUST A DE FACTO

27:17CONNECTION THROUGH THE PROPERTY

27:17THAT PEOPLE HAVE USED FOR A

27:19LONG TIME. AND WHAT IS APPROVED

27:22BY THE HEARINGS OFFICER IS A

27:23NEW EASEMENT THAT WOULD REQUIRE

27:25THE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO ALLOW

27:27PEDESTRIANS AND BIKES TO MOVE

27:27THROUGH THIS SPACE. THE ISSUE

27:29IN THE APPEAL IS THE EASEMENT

27:31REQUIREMENT BY THE HEARINGS,

27:32OFFICER'S DECISION WAS THEY

27:33COULD HAVE THE BIKES EITHER ON

27:35THE DRIVEWAY OR THE PATHWAY,

27:37BUT NOT NECESSARILY ONE OR THE

27:38OTHER OR BOTH. AND THE

27:40APPELLANTS WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A

27:41RIGHT TO USE THE DRIVEWAY FOR

27:43BIKES. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO

27:44ADD TO THAT?

27:45>> A RIGHT TO USE THE DRIVEWAY

27:47FOR BIKES. SO IN LAYMAN'S TERMS,

27:49THE PART THAT LOOKS MORE LIKE A

27:50ROAD.

27:51>> CORRECT.

27:52>> OKAY.

27:52>> YES. THIS PART, THIS IS WHAT

27:53I'M REFERRING TO IS THE

27:55DRIVEWAY.

27:55>> GREAT. OKAY. AND I WANT TO

27:57BE CLEAR THAT CURRENTLY THE

28:00GREEN LINE ON THIS DRAWING AS

28:03AN EASEMENT DOES NOT EXIST.

28:04IT'S JUST IN PRACTICE, MANY OF

28:06US GO THROUGH THERE CORRECT AS

28:08WALKERS OR BIKERS. BUT THAT'S A

28:10BY THE GRACE OF THE PROPERTY

28:12OWNER CURRENTLY. THAT'S CORRECT.

28:13AND THIS IS ESTABLISHING AN

28:15EASEMENT AND THE HEARING, THE

28:19APPEAL IS NOT ONLY TO KEEP THAT

28:21EASEMENT, BUT THEN TO DICTATE

28:22AN ASPECT OF IT. IS THAT.

28:24>> MORE THE LATTER PART? I MEAN,

28:25THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT THE

28:27EASEMENT BEING KEPT. IT'S I

28:28THINK THE APPELLANT IS ASKING

28:29FOR THAT EASEMENT TO

28:31SPECIFICALLY APPLY TO BIKES.

28:33BEING ABLE TO USE THAT DRIVEWAY,

28:35THIS PART, AND NOT JUST BEING

28:36RELEGATED TO THE PATHWAY NEXT

28:38TO IT.

28:38>> I GUESS THAT'S WHERE I'M A

28:40LITTLE BIT HUNG UP IN TERMS OF

28:42WHAT THAT MEANS, BECAUSE I'M

28:43NOT JUST IN TERMS OF GENERAL,

28:46NORMAL PERSON USE A PERSON

28:49RIDES A BIKE SOMETIMES. IF I

28:50PUT IT THIS WAY, ADULTS SEEM TO

28:52RIDE BIKES ON STREETS AND KIDS

28:53RIDE BIKES ON SIDEWALKS. I'M

28:54JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHAT

28:56IT MEANS TO PUT SOME SPECIFIC

28:57LANGUAGE AROUND THAT, TO SAY

28:59RIGHT, A RIGHT TO RIDE A BIKE

29:01ON WHAT IS OTHERWISE USED BY

29:02CARS. I'M JUST TRYING TO

29:03UNDERSTAND THAT A LITTLE BIT.

29:05>> SORRY. ONE MORE TIME.

29:06>> YEAH, I'M. I THINK THAT

29:11PEOPLE I THINK THE SCHOOL

29:12DISTRICT HAS ACKNOWLEDGED IN

29:13THE PREVIOUS HEARING FOR THE

29:14HEARINGS OFFICER, THAT PEOPLE

29:15WOULD CONTINUE TO RIDE THEIR

29:17BIKES ON THE DRIVEWAY ON, YOU

29:19KNOW, WITH THE CARS. THAT'S I

29:20DON'T THINK THERE'S A GOOD

29:22PRACTICAL WAY TO STOP THEM FROM

29:24DOING THAT. BUT THEY OBJECT TO

29:27HAVING A LEGAL REQUIREMENT PUT

29:28ON THEIR PROPERTY THAT THEY

29:30MUST ALLOW THAT.

29:33>> OKAY.

29:33>> THAT MAKES SENSE. DOES THAT

29:35ANSWER YOUR QUESTION?

29:35>> YEAH. AS MUCH SENSE AS GOING

29:37FROM WHAT IS CURRENTLY ALREADY

29:39HAPPENING TO PUTTING IT IN LAW,

29:41THAT'S THAT'S WHERE I'M

29:42STRUGGLING WITH IS LIKE

29:43EVERYDAY PRACTICE TO NOW IT

29:44WILL BE PART OF A LAND USE PLAN.

29:46AND THAT'S WHAT I'M, I'M JUST

29:48TRYING TO THINK THROUGH NOT

29:51JUST THE TODAY AND TOMORROW,

29:52BUT LIKE, WHAT DOES THIS LOOK

29:53LIKE DOWN THE ROAD? WHAT DOES

29:55SUCH A SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT IN

29:58ENABLE LATER ON? SO THAT'S

29:59WHERE I'M, I'M THINKING THROUGH

30:00IT A LITTLE BIT. IS THERE ANY

30:04INDICATION THAT THE PLANS, AS

30:06THEY CURRENTLY ARE DRAFTED,

30:09WOULD HAVE SOME ENVIRONMENTAL

30:13DESIGN THAT WOULD PREVENT

30:14BICYCLISTS ON THE PATH OR THE

30:17DRIVEWAY?

30:18>> THERE'S NOTHING PROPOSED

30:20THAT WOULD THAT WOULD DO THAT.

30:21AND IT WOULD BE THERE'D BE

30:23BOLLARDS THAT WOULD STOP CARS

30:24FROM GOING THROUGH. THERE'S TWO

30:26BOLLARDS. IT'D BE EASY FOR A

30:27BIKE TO GO AROUND IT.

30:28>> SO WILL THERE BE NO PARKING

30:30IN THIS AREA IN THE FUTURE?

30:32>> THERE WOULD STILL BE PARKING.

30:34>> AND WHERE WILL THEY ENTER IN

30:36FROM?

30:37>> FROM VERMONT, FROM THE SOUTH

30:39FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

30:40>> BUT THAT'S WHERE THE

30:41BOLLARDS ARE AT.

30:42>> THE BOLLARDS WOULD BE RIGHT

30:44HERE. YOU CAN SEE MY CURSOR.

30:47>> OH, AT THAT HALFWAY POINT,

30:48KIND OF WHERE WE ALREADY HAVE

30:50THAT WALKWAY CURRENTLY.

30:51>> AND SORRY, TAMMY, DID YOU

30:52WANT TO SAY SOMETHING? YOU

30:53WANTED ME TO GO TO THE SLIDE?

30:55>> SURE. YEAH. I WANTED TO PUT

30:57ASKED ANDY TO PUT THIS SLIDE UP

30:59BECAUSE I THINK IT SHOWS THE

31:00RECONFIGURATION OF THE DRIVEWAY.

31:01SO IT WILL NO LONGER BE A

31:03THROUGH ACCESS FOR VEHICLES. IT

31:04WILL STILL SERVE AS PARKING

31:05NORTH OF THE BOLLARDS AND SOUTH

31:08OF THE BOLLARDS, BUT THERE WILL

31:10BE AN PEDESTRIAN ACCESS

31:12AVAILABLE ON THE PATHWAY ON

31:14EITHER SIDE OF THE SCHOOL OR OF

31:17THE DRIVEWAY. I JUST WANT TO

31:19MAKE SURE EVERYBODY KNOWS YOU

31:20CAN STILL PHYSICALLY WALK ON

31:21BOTH SIDES. YOU COULD STILL

31:22PHYSICALLY RIDE A BICYCLE DOWN

31:24THE THE CENTER OF THE DRIVEWAY.

31:26IT'S JUST THERE WILL ONLY BE AN

31:27EASEMENT, RIGHT FOR THROUGH

31:29ACCESS TO THE FOR THE GENERAL

31:31PUBLIC ON THE HIGH SCHOOL SIDE

31:32OF THE DRIVEWAY ON THE PATHWAY.

31:35>> SO SO CURRENTLY, RIGHT IF I,

31:39WHEN I COME TO EVENTS AS A

31:41DISTRICT COUNSELOR AT THIS

31:42SCHOOL, I GENERALLY HAVE A

31:44CHOICE OF PULLING IN FROM

31:45VERMONT OR FROM THE FOOD CARTS

31:48AREA. RIGHT. AND I AND I CAN

31:49MAKE MY WAY THROUGH THAT AREA

31:50EITHER WAY. AND, YOU KNOW, I

31:52MAKE A JUDGMENT. WHAT IS

31:53MOTIVATING THE BOLLARDS CHANGE

31:55IN THIS PLAN TO, TO ACTUALLY

31:57STOP THAT THRUWAY. WHAT

31:59OBVIOUSLY WE'RE DOING

31:59PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE IS STILL

32:01ACCESS, BUT THERE IS A CAR

32:02ASPECT HERE. WHAT'S MOTIVATING

32:03THAT CHANGE IN THIS PLAN? NOW.

32:05>> MY UNDERSTANDING OF THE

32:06CHANGE IS TO IS TWOFOLD. ONE,

32:08TO SORT OF BRING MORE

32:09ORGANIZATION TO THE UP AND DROP

32:11OFF ACTIVITIES FOR THE

32:13ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. OKAY. AND

32:14TWO, TO PROVIDE MORE OF A

32:17PROTECTED CROSSING FOR

32:18PEDESTRIANS WHO ARE CROSSING

32:20THAT DRIVE AISLE.

32:21>> OKAY.

32:21>> SO THERE, THERE WILL, THERE

32:23WILL BE A RAISED CROSSWALK

32:25BUILT THAT WILL GIVE A SPECIFIC

32:28LOCATION FOR ESPECIALLY

32:30ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN WHO

32:31ARE ARRIVING ON FOOT TO CROSS

32:32THAT DRIVEWAY IN A WAY WHERE

32:33THEY DON'T HAVE TO CONFLICT

32:35WITH THE VEHICLE.

32:36>> OKAY.

32:38>> AND THAT IS ALIGNED ROUGHLY,

32:40YOU KNOW, CLOSER TO THE DOORS

32:42OF THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

32:44>> OKAY. ANYBODY WHO'S DRIVEN

32:46THOSE SPEED BUMPS KNOWS THAT

32:47IT'S DAMN NEAR THE SAME AS

32:48GOING TO A CHIROPRACTOR THAT'S

32:50IN THAT AREA. BUT I THIS IS

32:54CLARIFYING. I THINK I HAVE AN

32:55IDEA NOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING

32:56ABOUT IN TERMS OF THE QUESTION

32:58HERE WITH. AND THAT'S APPEAL

33:00NUMBER ONE, IS THAT CORRECT?

33:02THAT'S APPEAL NUMBER ONE.

33:03APPEAL NUMBER TWO IS THE

33:04SIDEWALK CORNER.

33:06>> RIGHT?

33:06>> OKAY.

33:07>> APPEAL NUMBER ONE FOR THE.

33:09OKAY.

33:10>> THAT'S ALL MY QUESTIONS FOR

33:11NOW, COUNCIL PRESIDENT. THANKS,

33:12GUYS.

33:12>> THANK YOU, COUNSELOR

33:13ZIMMERMAN. COUNCILOR. KOYAMA

33:14LANE.

33:15>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT

33:16I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT HOW

33:18THERE, I BELIEVE, ARE QUITE A

33:20FEW LONG STANDING

33:22INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENTS.

33:24IGS AROUND PORTLAND PUBLIC

33:26SCHOOLS PARKS THEM MAINTAINING

33:30OWNERSHIP, BUT THE CITY OF

33:31PORTLAND OPERATING AND

33:33MAINTAINING LIKE SUNNYSIDE

33:34ENVIRONMENTAL SCHOOL IS AN

33:36EXAMPLE I. THAT'S LIKELY WHAT

33:39HAPPENS WITH THE IDA B WELLS

33:40POOL. WE RUN THE PROGRAMING

33:41PARKS AND REC. THERE IS SOME OF

33:43THAT PARK AREA ALSO MAINTAINED

33:46BY THE CITY.

33:48>> NO. THERE'S. FOR EXAMPLE,

33:50GRANT HIGH SCHOOL IS CONTIGUOUS

33:52WITH GRANT PARK AND THERE'S A

33:54LOT OF SHARING OF FACILITIES

33:55THERE. BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE

33:57HERE. NONE OF THIS PROPERTY IS

33:59A PARK OR OWNED BY THE PARKS

34:01DEPARTMENT OF THE CITY. THERE

34:02IS A THERE'S AN AGREEMENT FOR

34:03THE CITY TO OPERATE THE

34:05SWIMMING POOL IN THE SUMMER.

34:06>> OKAY.

34:07>> THANK YOU.

34:07>> THANK YOU. COUNCILOR KOYAMA

34:08LANE VICE PRESIDENT CLARK.

34:10>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

34:12SO I'M JUST GOING TO CONTINUE

34:14TO PROBE ABOUT THE THE DRIVEWAY.

34:16GLAD YOU STILL HAVE IT UP. IT'S

34:18BEEN HELPFUL TO HEAR YOU. I

34:19DIDN'T KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE

34:21BOLLARDS WERE BEING PLACED AND

34:22WHY THEY WERE. BUT THEY'RE THEY

34:24CAN COME DOWN. THEY'RE

34:25REMOVABLE. RIGHT.

34:28>> I DON'T KNOW THE SPECIFIC

34:30ANSWER TO THAT. I BELIEVE THEY

34:31WILL BE REMOVABLE.

34:33>> SO WHAT WHAT WHAT HAPPENS TO

34:35THE FARMERS MARKET? WE YOU KNOW,

34:37WE KNOW THAT IN THE INTERIM,

34:38WHILE CONSTRUCTION'S GOING ON,

34:39THE FARMER'S MARKET IS MOVING

34:41TO THE SOUTH PART OF THE

34:43DRIVEWAY AND WE GOT THAT DEAL.

34:46BUT WHAT HAPPENS AFTER

34:48CONSTRUCTION? AND THEN THERE'S

34:49THESE BOLLARDS. ARE THEY

34:50REMOVED FOR THE FARMERS MARKET?

34:51DOES THE FARMERS MARKET GO BACK

34:52TO THE ENTIRE DRIVEWAY?

34:54>> I ASKED THE APPLICANT THAT

34:55QUESTION. AND THE THE FARMER'S

34:58MARKET WOULD GO TO THE SOUTH

34:59SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY DURING

35:00CONSTRUCTION. THERE'D BE NO

35:01BOLLARDS AT THAT POINT. WHEN

35:03CONSTRUCTION IS NEAR COMPLETE,

35:04THEY'LL PUT IN BOLLARDS, AND

35:05THE FARMER'S MARKET WOULD BE

35:06ENTIRELY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF

35:07THE BOLLARDS, SO THEY WOULDN'T

35:09INTERRUPT THE FARMER'S MARKET.

35:10>> OH, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. AND

35:16WHAT YOU'RE SAYING ABOUT IT.

35:21THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WANTS

35:22EITHER OR. EITHER YOU'RE ON THE

35:23STREET OR YOU'RE ON THE

35:25SIDEWALK FOR A BIKE OR A

35:26PEDESTRIAN, OR THEY ONLY WANT

35:28ON THE SIDEWALK.

35:29>> THE HEARINGS OFFICER'S

35:30CONDITION OF APPROVAL GIVES

35:31THEM THE CHOICE TO DESIGNATE

35:35BIKES TO USE THE DRIVEWAY OR

35:38THE PATHWAY. AND I MY

35:41UNDERSTANDING IS THEY WOULD

35:42PREFER TO DESIGNATE THE PATHWAY

35:44FOR BICYCLISTS RATHER THAN THE

35:46DRIVEWAY.

35:46>> WELL, YOU KNOW, I, I LIVED

35:48TWO BLOCKS FROM THERE FOR

35:49ALMOST 20 YEARS. I DIDN'T RIDE

35:52MY BIKE ON THAT SIDEWALK.

35:53THAT'S RIDICULOUS. IT'S NOT

35:55WELL MAINTAINED. IT'S VERY

35:57NARROW. AND IF THERE'S

35:58PEDESTRIANS, YOU DON'T WANT TO

35:59INTERACT WITH THEM, YOU

36:00DEFINITELY NEED TO BE ON THE

36:02DRIVEWAY. SO I UNDERSTAND THE

36:05APPEAL HERE. I GUESS I'LL LEAVE

36:12IT AT THAT FOR NOW. THANKS.

36:14>> THANK YOU, VICE.

36:15>> PRESIDENT CLARK. COUNCILOR

36:16RYAN.

36:16>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT,

36:18IF THESE ARE ALREADY IN THE

36:20EXHIBITS OR APPENDIX I, I DON'T

36:22KNOW AND I'M ASKING FOR SOME

36:24ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. I'D

36:25LIKE TO RECEIVE THE PUBLIC

36:27ACCESS STANDARDS FOR EACH HIGH

36:29SCHOOL IN PORTLAND PUBLIC

36:30SCHOOLS. SO FAR IN LISTENING, I

36:32HEARD DIFFERENT VARIATIONS. SO

36:34I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE

36:36STANDARDS ARE.

36:38>> I WANT TO SEE IF YOU HAVE

36:40ANYTHING TO ADD TO THIS TOO,

36:42BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT THERE ARE

36:43STANDARDS LIKE THAT I LOOKED AT.

36:45THIS IS THE LAST PUBLIC HIGH

36:46SCHOOL IN WPS TO GO THROUGH

36:48LAND USE REVIEW TO BE EXPANDED

36:50OR REBUILT, AND I LOOKED AT ALL

36:51THE PREVIOUS LAND USE DECISIONS.

36:53THERE WERE A COUPLE THAT HAD

36:54REQUIREMENTS IN THEM FOR AREAS

36:56WHERE PEOPLE COULD MOVE THROUGH

36:57THE CAMPUS AT CERTAIN TIMES,

37:00WHICH WHEN SCHOOL IS NOT IN

37:01SESSION, BASICALLY INCLUDING

37:02JEFFERSON, THAT WAS APPROVED

37:03EARLIER THIS YEAR, THERE'D BE

37:05AN AREA WHERE PEOPLE CAN CUT

37:06THROUGH THE CAMPUS WHEN SCHOOL

37:07IS NOT IN SESSION. SO THERE'S

37:09NOT A STANDARD THAT I'M AWARE

37:11OF. IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS

37:14EVALUATED WITH A LAND USE

37:15REVIEW. AND THIS ONE IS

37:17ACTUALLY WHAT WE'RE WHAT THE

37:19HEARINGS OFFICER REQUIRED FOR

37:20IDA B WELLS IS THE MOST

37:24RESTRICTIVE TO THE SCHOOL

37:24DISTRICT. IT'S ALLOWING FOR

37:26DIFFERENT EASEMENTS THROUGH THE

37:27SITE. AND THERE'S PEOPLE CAN

37:29MOVE THROUGH ALL

37:30TIMES, EVEN WHEN SCHOOL IS IN

37:32SESSION. THAT'S DIFFERENT FROM

37:33ALL THE OTHER SCHOOLS THAT HAVE.

37:34>> WHERE IT IS TODAY.

37:36>> WELL, WITH THE HEARINGS

37:37OFFICERS DECISION, THAT'S UNDER

37:38APPEAL. YEAH. NOT TODAY.

37:39THERE'S NO PUBLIC ACCESS. RIGHT.

37:40>> I APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR

37:42ANSWERING THIS QUESTION. I'M A

37:44LITTLE PUZZLED THAT THEY DON'T

37:45HAVE THAT. LINCOLN HIGH SCHOOL

37:50HAS DECISIONS MADE ON PUBLIC

37:52ACCESS. YOU'RE MAKING IT CLEAR

37:54THAT JEFFERSON DOES. I KNOW A

37:55LITTLE BIT OF THING ABOUT THE

37:57GRANT HIGH SCHOOL ACCESS. SO I

38:00JUST THINK THAT IT'S

38:02INTERESTING TO ME THAT WPS

38:03ISN'T PROVIDING THAT TYPE OF

38:05STANDARD, IF YOU WILL, AND IF

38:07WE COULD AT LEAST SEE SOME

38:09EXAMPLES OF SCHOOLS IN THE

38:10SCHOOL THAT CLOSEST TO IDA B

38:13WELLS IS LINCOLN. SO I STILL

38:15THINK I'D LIKE TO GET SOME MORE

38:16INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO THAT

38:18FAIR.

38:18>> AND WHEN, WHEN THE APPLICANT

38:19SPEAKS, MAYBE THEY CAN MAYBE

38:20THEY'LL HAVE INFORMATION FOR

38:21YOU ABOUT WHAT THEIR POLICY IS.

38:23OKAY. I THINK AT ISSUE WITH THE

38:25ZONING CODE APPEAL IS THIS

38:26ISN'T SOMETHING THAT'S

38:27REGULATED IN THE ZONING CODE,

38:29AND IT'S BEEN SOMETHING THAT

38:31HAS COME UP IN LAND USE REVIEWS

38:32WHEN THERE'S SOME DISCRETION,

38:33BUT THERE'S NOT A STANDARD IN

38:35THE ZONING CODE FOR ANY KIND OF

38:36PROPERTY TO.

38:37>> AND I'M TRYING TO TRANSLATE

38:39IT TO YOUR AVERAGE HUMAN BEING.

38:40SO,

38:40>> OKAY.

38:42>> IN TERMS OF PUBLIC ACCESS TO

38:45OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL PROPERTIES,

38:46THIS TOPIC HAS A LOT OF

38:48ATTENTION. YOU KNOW, THAT

38:51SCHOOLS WANT TO MAINTAIN THE

38:53PROPERTIES. THEY WANT TO MAKE

38:53SURE THAT THEY'RE GOOD STEWARDS

38:55AFTER THE CONSTRUCTION AND LIKE

38:57TO KEEP THINGS NEAT AND TIDY.

38:59THE PUBLIC HAS PAST EXPERIENCES

39:01OF MAYBE ACCESSING IT

39:03DIFFERENTLY PRIOR TO THAT. SO

39:04THIS IS A REAL TENSION

39:06EVERYWHERE. AND I DON'T KNOW IF

39:09THIS IS FAIR, BUT A LOT OF

39:11PORTLANDERS ARE RECEIVE A TAX

39:13BILL THAT SAYS THEY'RE PAYING

39:14THE WPS BOND TAX. AND AND IT'S

39:18IT'S PASSED HEAVILY IN BIG

39:22MARGINS. AND I THINK THAT I'D

39:24LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE TAX

39:27RESPONSIBILITY IS OF THE

39:28NEIGHBORHOOD TO THE WPS BOND.

39:30IS THAT A FAIR QUESTION?

39:33>> IT'S A FAIR QUESTION. I

39:34THINK I THINK.

39:35>> IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I BET

39:37THE LAWYER SOME LAWYERS DON'T

39:38LIKE THAT QUESTION. BUT WE'LL

39:39SEE.

39:40>> YEAH, I DON'T KNOW THE

39:41ANSWER. I THINK I WOULD JUST

39:42EMPHASIZE AGAIN THAT THE

39:44QUESTION BEFORE YOU IN THIS

39:45APPEAL IS NOT SO MUCH ABOUT

39:47WHAT'S WHAT KIND OF ACCESS IS

39:49FAIR OR APPROPRIATE, EVEN. IT'S

39:50REALLY ABOUT DO YOU FIND THAT

39:52THE ZONING CODE, AS IT'S

39:53WRITTEN.

39:54>> WITHIN THE.

39:54>> CRITERIA, GIVE US THE POWER

39:56TO REGULATE THAT?

39:57>> I UNDERSTAND THERE'S, YOU

40:00KNOW, CALL ME NUANCED, BUT

40:01THERE'S MOMENTS WHERE SOMETIMES

40:03ZONING CODE AND THE REALITY OF

40:04THE EXPERIENCE DON'T ALWAYS

40:07LINE UP VERY WELL. SO I'M

40:08TRYING TO NOODLE WITH THAT WITH

40:10YOU NOW. SO I'M HEARING THAT

40:12GETTING INFORMATION ABOUT THE

40:14TAX RESPONSIBILITY TO THE WPS

40:17BOND OF THE GOOD OF THE

40:19NEIGHBORS NEAR THAT HIGH SCHOOL

40:20ISN'T RELEVANT TO THIS TOPIC.

40:23>> I DON'T THINK IT'S RELEVANT

40:24TO THE LEGAL QUESTION YOU HAVE

40:26TO ANSWER. IF YOU WANT THAT

40:29INFORMATION, WE CAN. I'M SURE

40:30WE COULD TRY TO GET THAT FOR

40:32YOU.

40:32>> I THINK IT WOULD BE HELPFUL

40:34JUST TO MY. I THINK IT'D BE

40:35HELPFUL TO ME. OKAY. AND IF I'M

40:37TOLD THAT I CAN'T RECEIVE IT

40:39LEGALLY, I'LL CROSS THAT BRIDGE.

40:40THANKS.

40:41>> SURE. THANK YOU. COUNCILOR

40:42RYAN COUNCILOR PIRTLE-GUINEY.

40:44>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

40:46THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

40:49IT STOOD OUT TO ME THAT ONCE OR

40:52TWICE YOU MENTIONED THAT NONE

40:53OF THE OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS

40:56GUARANTEED ACCESS, AND I'M

40:58LOOKING SPECIFICALLY AT APPEAL

40:59REQUEST THREE, THAT NONE OF THE

41:01OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS IN THEIR

41:04PROJECTS GUARANTEED ACCESS TO

41:06FACILITIES. I THINK THERE'S TWO

41:09QUESTIONS FOR ME AROUND THAT.

41:11THERE IS THE QUESTION OF WHY WE

41:14DIDN'T AND THE QUESTION OF

41:15WHETHER WE COULD HAVE. AND SO

41:17ON. THAT FIRST QUESTION, WHY WE

41:19DIDN'T REQUIRE THAT. I'M

41:21WONDERING IF THERE WERE APPEALS

41:25TO REQUEST THAT ACCESS WITH ANY

41:27OF THE OTHER HIGH SCHOOLS, OR

41:29IF THAT QUESTION HAS, IN FACT,

41:30NOT YET BEEN ASKED. AND ON THE

41:34POINT OF THE SECOND QUESTION,

41:36CAN WE REQUIRE THAT THIS IS THE

41:38FIRST TIME THAT WE'RE FACING

41:40THAT QUESTION?

41:42>> SO I DON'T KNOW, HONESTLY,

41:44IF IT'S EVER BEEN ASKED BEFORE

41:45IN ANY OF THE OTHER REVIEWS. I

41:46KNOW THAT NONE OF THE OTHER

41:48REVIEWS WERE APPEALED, BUT.

41:49>> IT'S NOT LEGALLY RELEVANT AS

41:52TO WHETHER OR NOT WE COULD

41:55REQUIRE THAT. IF IT WASN'T

41:58APPEALED BEFORE. RIGHT? IF WE

42:00HAVEN'T BEEN ASKED THE QUESTION,

42:02THEN I THINK THE QUESTION OF

42:04EQUITY BETWEEN COMMUNITIES,

42:06WHILE AN IMPORTANT

42:09PHILOSOPHICAL TOPIC, DOESN'T

42:12HELP US MAKE THIS DECISION, THE

42:13DECISION BEFORE US HAS TO BE

42:15THIS WAS REQUESTED. CAN WE

42:17GRANT IT OR NOT?

42:19>> RIGHT.

42:20>> OKAY.

42:20>> AND I THINK THAT YOU CAN I

42:22THINK THERE YOU COULD INTERPRET

42:24THE APPROVAL CRITERIA IN THAT

42:26WAY, IN THE WAY THAT THE

42:28APPELLANT IS REQUESTING THE

42:30FACT THAT IT WASN'T DONE BEFORE.

42:32THIS WOULD BE A NEW PRECEDENT.

42:35IF THIS APPEAL WERE UPHELD,

42:37IT'D BE PROBABLY A LONG TIME

42:38BEFORE THERE'S ANOTHER LAND USE

42:39REVIEW FOR A MAJOR REBUILD OF A

42:41PORTLAND PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL, SO

42:42WE WOULDN'T HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY

42:44TO APPLY THAT PRECEDENT. I

42:46THINK THAT A FINDING THAT WE'RE

42:48DOING THIS HERE IS ALSO A

42:49FINDING THAT WE MAYBE SHOULD

42:51HAVE DONE THAT IN OTHER SCHOOLS.

42:54BUT I THINK THIS IS A LITTLE

42:56BIT OF. IT'S SOMEWHAT

42:59AGGRESSIVE OR CREATIVE

43:01INTERPRETATION OF THE ZONING

43:02CODE THAT TO SAY THAT IT'S

43:03INTENDED, THE LANGUAGE THAT'S

43:04THERE, THAT'S BEING POINTED TO

43:06IS INTENDED TO REQUIRE THE

43:07SCHOOL DISTRICT OR ANY PROPERTY

43:09OWNER, EVEN A PUBLIC PROPERTY

43:10OWNER, TO, TO ALLOW THAT KIND

43:13OF ACCESS AND MAKE THAT A

43:14MATTER FOR ZONING RATHER THAN

43:16FOR, FOR OTHER, OTHER TYPES OF

43:19GOVERNMENT DECISIONS.

43:20>> SO SPECIFICALLY ON APPEAL

43:21REQUEST THREE, WHAT I THINK I'M

43:23HEARING IS WE COULD INTERPRET

43:26OUR CURRENT, OUR CURRENT LAND

43:29USE CODE TO ALLOW FOR THIS

43:31APPEAL TO MOVE FORWARD, BUT WE

43:33WOULD BE EXPANDING THAT

43:36INTERPRETATION, AND WE WOULD

43:37WANT TO THINK ABOUT HOW ELSE

43:39THAT COULD THEN BE APPLIED IN

43:40THE FUTURE. IN OTHER CASES.

43:42>> I THINK THAT'S A FAIR

43:43STATEMENT. YEAH. I MEAN, BUT

43:44YOU CERTAINLY YOU COULD MAKE

43:46THE FINDING THAT THE APPELLANT

43:47IS ASKING YOU TO, TO FIND THAT

43:49WOULD BE IT COULD BE SUBJECT TO

43:50FURTHER APPEAL AND THEN THAT

43:52WOULD BE TESTED AT ANOTHER

43:53LEVEL. BUT THERE'S YOU COULD

43:55CERTAINLY LOOK AT THIS

43:55DIFFERENTLY THAN IT'S BEEN

43:56LOOKED AT BEFORE.

43:57>> OKAY. THANK YOU.

43:59>> THANK YOU, COUNSELOR.

43:59PIRTLE-GUINEY. COUNCILOR.

44:00NOVICK.

44:01>> THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.

44:03FORGIVE ME FOR NOT HAVING THIS.

44:04MY FINGERTIPS, BUT WHAT IS THE

44:06LANGUAGE THAT YOU THINK COULD

44:07BE INTERPRETED TO SUPPORT THIS?

44:09CAN YOU QUOTE THE LANGUAGE THAT

44:10THE APPELLANTS ARE QUOTING?

44:12>> SURE. SO THERE IS AN

44:14APPROVAL CRITERION IN THE

44:15CONDITIONAL USE REVIEW THAT

44:17SAYS THE PROJECT REBUILDING THE

44:19IDA B WELLS HIGH SCHOOL,

44:20RESURFACING THE FIELD, HAVING

44:22NEW LIGHTS AND PA SYSTEMS THAT

44:25IT HAS TO BE CONSISTENT WITH

44:27THE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN AND THE

44:29COMMUNITY PLAN THAT APPLY TO

44:30THE SITE, JUST THE HILLSDALE

44:32TOWN CENTER PLAN AND THE

44:34SOUTHWEST COMMUNITY PLAN. THERE

44:35ARE POLICIES IN THOSE PLANS

44:38THAT TALK ABOUT THE VALUE OF

44:41PUBLIC FACILITIES, PUBLIC

44:42FACILITIES SERVING MULTIPLE

44:44PURPOSES, THE VALUE OF OPEN

44:46SPACE. SO WE'VE NOT, TO MY

44:49KNOWLEDGE, EVER, FOR ANY KIND

44:51OF LAND USE REVIEW, INTERPRETED

44:52THOSE TO ACQUIRE ANY PROPERTY

44:53OWNER TO ALLOW NEIGHBORS TO

44:55ENTER THEIR PROPERTY FOR

44:57RECREATIONAL USE AS A CONDITION

44:58OF IMPROVING THEIR PROPERTY,

44:59WHICH IS WHAT THIS IS HOW

45:00THEY'RE ASKING YOU TO INTERPRET

45:02THIS TODAY. BUT THAT'S WHAT

45:03THAT'S IF THAT ANSWERS YOUR

45:04QUESTION, THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE

45:05POINTING TO. AND THAT'S WHAT

45:06THAT'S HOW YOU COULD INTERPRET

45:08THIS TO SUPPORT THIS APPEAL.

45:09>> SO THE VALUE OF WHAT WAS THE

45:11PHRASE YOU USED?

45:12>> OH, I DON'T HAVE THE

45:13LANGUAGE IN FRONT OF ME, BUT

45:14THE POLICIES WERE THE VALUES OF

45:16OPEN SPACE, COMMUNITY

45:17FACILITIES, COMMUNITY

45:18FACILITIES SERVING MULTIPLE

45:20PURPOSES.

45:21>> SO IT DOESN'T SAY WHAT THE

45:23LANGUAGE DOESN'T SAY, WHAT THAT

45:24IMPLIES. IT JUST TALKS ABOUT

45:25THOSE BEING VALUABLE, RIGHT?

45:27>> THERE'S NO POLICY THAT SAYS

45:29PUBLIC SCHOOLS MUST HAVE OPEN

45:32AREAS FOR THE NEIGHBORS AT

45:33CERTAIN TIMES OF DAY. THERE'S

45:34NOTHING THERE'S NOTHING TO

45:35POINT TO THAT SAYS THAT IT

45:37WOULD BE AN INTERPRETATION TO

45:38REQUIRE THAT.

45:39>> THANK YOU.

45:40>> THANK YOU. COUNCILOR NOVICK

45:42THAT HAS EXHAUSTED THE QUEUE OF

45:44TECHNICAL AND CLARIFYING

45:45QUESTIONS. WE ARE NOW GOING TO

45:47MOVE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

45:49WE'RE NOW GOING TO MOVE TO THE

45:50PRESENTATION FROM THE APPELLANT

45:51WHO WILL HAVE TEN MINUTES.

45:57WELCOME, FOLKS.

45:59>> THANK YOU.

46:12>> HELLO, COUNCILORS. I'M

46:15VALERIE FRIEDMAN AND THIS IS

46:17DON BACH AND KEITH LYDEN. AND

46:18WE'RE HERE ON BEHALF OF THE

46:20HILLSDALE NEIGHBORHOOD

46:21ASSOCIATION. WE'VE ALL LIVED IN

46:23THE AREA FOR A LONG TIME. AND

46:25DON AND I HAVE CHILDREN AND

46:27GRANDCHILDREN WHO GRADUATED

46:28FROM WELLS OR WILSON, AS IT WAS

46:30THEN. AND WE'RE ALL VERY

46:32INVESTED IN THE COMMUNITY AND

46:33IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. BUT

46:34WE'RE HERE TODAY TO ASK YOU TO

46:37PRESERVE WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE

46:38ON THE WELLS CAMPUS SAFE BIKE

46:40AND PEDESTRIAN ROUTES AND

46:42PUBLIC ACCESS TO SCHOOL GROUNDS

46:44AFTER HOURS. YOU CAN DO THAT BY

46:46ADDING CONDITIONS TO THE

46:47HEARINGS OFFICERS DECISION. WE

46:50APPRECIATE THE THOUGHTFUL WORK

46:51THAT HAS GONE INTO THE PLANNING

46:52OF THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL, AND

46:54WANT TO EMPHASIZE OUR SUPPORT

46:55FOR THE MODERNIZATION PROJECT,

46:57BUT THERE ARE ELEMENTS THAT

46:58STILL NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

47:00THIS IS A ONCE IN A GENERATION

47:02INVESTMENT THAT WILL SHAPE BOTH

47:03THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE AND THE

47:04SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD FOR

47:06DECADES. WE'RE HERE TAKING OUR

47:08TIME AND TAKING YOUR TIME

47:09BECAUSE WE WANT TO GET IT RIGHT.

47:12WE BELIEVE THAT IN ORDER TO

47:13COMPLY WITH THE CONDITIONAL USE

47:14APPROVAL CRITERIA. I'M SORRY, I

47:16FORGOT. OH YEAH. WE'VE GOT A

47:17SLIDE. IN ORDER TO TO COMPLY

47:20WITH THE CONDITIONAL USE

47:21APPROVAL CRITERIA, THE DECISION

47:23MUST PRESERVE THREE IMPORTANT

47:24ELEMENTS THAT THE SCHOOL CAMPUS

47:26PROVIDES TODAY. THE FIRST ONE

47:28IS SAFETY OF BICYCLES AND

47:29PEDESTRIANS ON THE DRIVEWAY.

47:31THE SECOND IS A SAFE PEDESTRIAN

47:33PATH FOR STUDENTS OF ALL AGES

47:36AND OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL. ON

47:37THE NORTHEAST SIDE OF THE

47:39CAMPUS ON BURLINGAME AVENUE.

47:40AND THE THIRD IS COMMUNITY

47:41ACCESS TO OUTDOOR SCHOOL

47:43FACILITIES DURING NON-SCHOOL

47:44HOURS. OUR WRITTEN APPEAL THAT

47:47WE FILED ADDRESSES THESE ISSUES

47:48AND THE SPECIFIC APPROVAL

47:50CRITERIA IN DETAIL. THAT APPEAL

47:52IS MORE THAN 20 PAGES LONG, BUT

47:54THE HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE PLAN

47:56CODE AND DESIGN STANDARDS THAT

47:58ARE IGNORED, ERRORS AND

48:00OMISSIONS IN THE STAFF REPORT

48:01AND HEARINGS OFFICERS DECISION,

48:03INCLUDING, IN SOME CASES, CITY

48:05STREET CLASSIFICATIONS AND

48:07CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL

48:09CRITERIA LEFT UNADDRESSED AND

48:11OVERLOOKED. AND NOW, IF YOU

48:13WANT TO ADVANCE TO THE NEXT

48:14SLIDE, AND WE'LL GIVE A BRIEF

48:16OVERVIEW OF EACH ISSUE. AND

48:17NEXT UP IS KEITH.

48:19>> GOOD AFTERNOON. I'M KEITH

48:20LYDON. TO CLARIFY REFERENCES IN

48:23THE RECORD TO RICKY ROAD. REFER

48:25TO THE DRIVEWAY THAT WE'VE BEEN

48:26TALKING ABOUT, PLUS THE TWO

48:28WALKWAYS ON EITHER SIDE. IT

48:30PROVIDES A CONNECTION BETWEEN

48:31VERMONT STREET AND CAPITOL

48:33HIGHWAY. FOR CONTEXT REGARDING

48:35RICKY ROAD AND BURLINGAME

48:38AVENUE ISSUES, THE RECENT METRO

48:40SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL REPORT

48:42GAVE THE WELLESLEY CAMPUS THE

48:44WORST WALKABILITY SCORE

48:46POSSIBLE, BECAUSE OVER 70% OF

48:49THE STREETS WITHIN THE ONE MILE

48:50WALK SHED DO NOT HAVE SIDEWALKS,

48:53THE SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOL WEB

48:55PAGE STATES. OUR MISSION IS TO

48:57SERVE A DIVERSE COMMUNITY OF

48:58PARENTS, STUDENTS, AND

48:59ORGANIZATIONS THROUGH

49:01ADVOCATING FOR AND PROMOTING

49:02THE USE OF ACTIVE AND SHARED

49:04TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM

49:05SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE PORTLAND

49:06AREA. TO ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION,

49:08WE USE THE SIX E'S OF SAFE

49:10ROUTES TO SCHOOL. TWO OF THESE

49:12E'S ENGAGEMENT ARE TO WORK WITH

49:14STUDENTS AND COMMUNITIES AND

49:16THEN COLLABORATE ON SOLUTIONS.

49:18AND THEN ANOTHER ONE IS

49:19ENGINEERING TO CREATE PHYSICAL

49:20IMPROVEMENTS TO STREETS AND

49:21NEIGHBORHOODS TO MAKE WALKING

49:23AND ROLLING SAFER. THE EXISTING

49:26RICKY DRIVEWAY AND ADJACENT

49:28SIDEWALKS PROVIDE A CRITICAL

49:29CONNECTION BETWEEN VERMONT

49:31CAPITOL HIGHWAY AND HILLSDALE

49:33TOWN CENTER. IT'S THE ONLY

49:34NORTH CENTRAL, NORTH SOUTH

49:36ROUTE BETWEEN A CONNECTION

49:39ALONG A PROPERTY FRONTAGE

49:40THAT'S OVER 2000FT IN DISTANCE,

49:43WHICH EXPLAINS WHY THE CITY'S

49:45TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PLAN

49:46DESIGNATES THIS ROUTE AS A

49:48NEIGHBORHOOD WALKWAY AND CITY

49:49BIKEWAY. IT'S ALSO LOCATED

49:52WITHIN THE HILLSDALE PEDESTRIAN

49:54DISTRICT, AND AS WE DESCRIBE IN

49:55OUR WRITTEN APPEAL, THERE ARE

49:58PLANNED POLICIES RELATED TO

49:59THOSE DESIGNATIONS WITH

50:02PEDESTRIAN ACCESS ON THE

50:03SIDEWALK AND BICYCLES, E-BIKES

50:05AND E-SCOOTERS SHARING THE

50:07DRIVEWAY. IT FUNCTIONS MUCH

50:08LIKE A NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAY

50:09THAT WE HAVE THROUGHOUT THE

50:10CITY. THE PROPOSAL TO HAVE THE

50:12EAST SIDEWALK AS THE ONLY

50:14CONNECTION FOR ALL MODES

50:15VIOLATES THE CITY REQUIREMENTS

50:16FOR MULTI-USE PATHS AND FOR

50:18NEIGHBORHOOD GREENWAYS, MAKING

50:19THE CONDITIONS LESS SAFE. WE'RE

50:23ASKING FOR THE SAME TREATMENT

50:25ON RICKY ROAD AS WHAT IS

50:27PROPOSED FOR THE DRIVEWAYS ON

50:28THE EAST AND NORTH SIDES. WE

50:31FIND IT KIND OF PECULIAR THAT

50:32THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THE

50:34CITY ARE FINE WITH THAT

50:35REQUIREMENT, BUT SOMEHOW DIG IN

50:36THEIR HEELS AND CAN'T REQUIRE

50:37THIS ONE. I'LL TURN IT OVER TO

50:40DON.

50:40>> WE NEED A NEW SLIDE.

50:42>> ANOTHER SLIDE.

50:43>> THANK YOU.

50:45>> I'M DON BACH. BASICALLY, I

50:47HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN HILLSDALE

50:49ACTIVELY FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS,

50:51AND I'VE DONE A LOT OF WORK AND

50:53A LOT OF OTHER OTHER

50:54ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHER

50:55INDIVIDUALS IN HILLSDALE HAVE

50:57DONE A LOT OF WORK IN TERMS OF

50:59MAINTAINING THESE SCHOOL

51:00PROPERTIES. RICKY WELLS AND

51:02ALSO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL. I'VE

51:05SPENT 30 YEARS WORKING WITH THE

51:06CITY AND METRO TO DEVELOP PLANS

51:08TO PROVIDE SAFER PEDESTRIAN

51:10FACILITIES. TO WHAT END? SAFE

51:13ROUTES TO SCHOOL, THE HILLSDALE

51:14TOWN CENTER PLAN, THE SOUTHWEST

51:17COMMUNITY PLAN, PEDESTRIAN

51:19DISTRICT, URBAN TRAIL

51:20DESIGNATIONS ALL SEEM TO BE

51:23IGNORED ON. WHEN WE LOOK AT THE

51:25BURLINGAME CONNECTION, WHAT WE

51:27HAVE NOW IS A WALKABLE AREA.

51:29YOU'LL NOTICE ON THE RIGHT ON

51:30THE SLIDE. RIGHT NOW IT'S A

51:33NARROW, ROUGHLY THREE FEET.

51:34WE'RE PROPOSING TO JUST MOVE

51:36THE CURB SIX FEET, NO COST TO

51:38THE CITY. THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE

51:39TO TAKE OUT THE ASPHALT AND

51:41RELANDSCAPE IT. WE. THAT'S

51:43WHERE OUR EXISTING IS. NOW.

51:44WHAT THEY'RE PROPOSING IS TO

51:46PUT US OUT ON THE STREET AND

51:47WALK WHERE THE GREEN ROUTE IS

51:49ON. THE GREEN LINE IS ON THE

51:51SIGN IN THE STREET. YOU CAN SEE

51:53THIS IS AN UPHILL GRADE WHERE

51:55THIS CAR CAN'T SEE YOU UNTIL

51:56IT'S BASICALLY AT THE CREST OF

51:58THE HILL. SAFETY IS NOT IN

52:01THEIR MIND WHEN THEY'RE

52:02PROPOSING THIS. I CAN'T IMAGINE

52:03WHY THEY'RE NOT PROPOSING

52:05SOMETHING HERE OR LEAVING WHAT

52:06WE HAVE NOW. DO NOT TAKE AWAY

52:08WHAT WE HAVE. WE ARE ASKING PS

52:10TO MAINTAIN THE SOUTHWEST

52:11COMMUNITY'S ACCESS AND SAFE

52:13PASSAGE ROUTES THAT WE HAVE

52:15ENJOYED, SUPPORTED AND HELPED

52:16MAINTAIN FOR PAST 65 YEARS,

52:19FORCING CHILDREN TO WALK IN A

52:20NARROW BURLINGAME AVENUE TO THE

52:21CREST OF THE HILL. WHEN AN

52:24EXISTING SAFE ROUTE OR SOLUTION

52:28IS STARING EVERYONE IN THE FACE.

52:29THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WHERE IS

52:32THE COMMON SENSE IN THE

52:34PROPOSAL?

52:35>> WE HAVE THE SLIDE FOUR,

52:37PLEASE. SO THIS IS THE LAST

52:39ISSUE, WHICH IS THE PUBLIC

52:41ACCESS ISSUE. WE'RE ASKING CITY

52:43COUNCIL TO ADD A CONDITION TO

52:44THE DECISION SO IT COMPLIES

52:45WITH THE ADOPTED AREA PLANS AS

52:47REQUIRED BY PORTLAND CITY CODE.

52:49FOR THE PAST 70 YEARS, THE IDA

52:51B WELLS CAMPUS HAS BEEN A

52:52CRITICAL PIECE OF SOCIAL

52:54INFRASTRUCTURE. IN THE

52:54HILLSDALE NEIGHBORHOOD.

52:56FAMILIES PLAY, NEIGHBORS GATHER,

52:57AND COMMUNITY IS BUILT IN THE

52:59OUTDOOR SPACES ON CAMPUS. THE

53:01TRACK IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT

53:02BECAUSE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES AND

53:04ABILITIES RELY ON IT. IN OUR

53:05HILLY AREA, WHERE SIDEWALKS ARE

53:06LIMITED, P S GATES AND FENCING

53:09PLAN WOULD BE A SIGNIFICANT

53:11SHIFT. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT IT'S

53:13A VERY DIFFERENT TREATMENT FROM

53:14THE GRANT HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS,

53:16WHICH IS LARGELY OPEN ACCESS

53:18AND UNFENCED, INCLUDING TWO

53:19STUDENT COURTYARDS. THE WELL

53:21WELLS CAMPUS IS ONE OF THE

53:23LARGEST OPEN SPACES IN THE AREA,

53:24BUT AFTER THE REBUILD, PUBLIC

53:25ACCESS WOULD BE LARGELY LIMITED

53:27TO THE CAMPUS PERIMETER. THE

53:29PLANS SHOW THAT THE ATHLETIC

53:31FACILITIES AND THIS INCLUDES

53:33THE BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL

53:34FIELDS, TENNIS COURTS, TRACK

53:35AND PRACTICE FIELD WILL BE

53:37FENCED AND GATED. THE COURTYARD

53:39BESIDE THE PRACTICE FIELD IS

53:41ALSO NOT EXPECTED TO BE OPEN TO

53:43THE PUBLIC AT ANY TIME,

53:44INCLUDING DURING THE SUMMER.

53:45WE'VE BEEN TOLD THE GATE TO THE

53:47TRACK WILL BE UNLOCKED AFTER

53:48SCHOOL HOURS, BUT WE'D LIKE

53:51SOME ASSURANCES FOR THE FUTURE

53:53WHEN SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION

53:55CHANGES OR POLICIES AT P. S

53:57CHANGE AND SUDDENLY WE FIND THE

53:58GATES LOCKED. AND AS AN ASIDE,

54:00I WANT TO MENTION THAT WE, THE

54:03NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, HAS

54:04PROPOSED A GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD

54:05AGREEMENT TO PORTLAND WPS THAT

54:07WOULD AT LEAST START TO ADDRESS

54:09THESE ISSUES OR OPEN

54:10COMMUNICATION ON THESE ISSUES,

54:12BUT WE HAVEN'T HAD ANY RESPONSE

54:13ON THAT. THE PLANNED EASEMENTS

54:15AROUND AND THROUGH THE PROPERTY

54:16ARE WELCOME, BUT THEY DON'T

54:17GIVE ACCESS TO THE CAMPUS'S

54:19OUTDOOR SPACES AND RECREATIONAL

54:22FACILITIES. ON THE LEFT IN THIS

54:23SLIDE IS A SCREENSHOT AT THE

54:25GOOGLE MAPS SCREENSHOT. SO

54:26IGNORE ALL THE GOOGLE STUFF

54:27THERE, BUT IT SHOWS THE AMOUNT

54:29OF OPEN SPACE THAT'S NOW

54:30ACCESSIBLE TO THE COMMUNITY,

54:31AND MOST OF IT IS UNFENCED. THE

54:33SECOND SLIDE SHOWS THAT

54:36EVERYTHING INSIDE THE BLACK

54:37LINE WILL BE FENCED WITH ACCESS

54:39CONTROLLED BY TIME LOCKED GATES.

54:41CITY COUNCIL HAS ALREADY

54:42WEIGHED IN BY APPROVING THE

54:44HILLSDALE TOWN CENTER PLAN IN

54:461997 AND THE SOUTHWEST

54:48COMMUNITY PLAN IN 2000. THESE

54:49AREA PLANS WERE DEVELOPED

54:51FOLLOWING EXTENSIVE PUBLIC

54:52ENGAGEMENT AND OUTREACH BY

54:54GRASSROOTS GROUPS OF LOCAL

54:55RESIDENTS AND CITY STAFF. THE

54:57HEARINGS OFFICER'S APPROVAL

54:58SWEEPS AWAY LONG TERM

55:00OBJECTIVES FOR OUR COMMUNITY,

55:01DEVELOPED THROUGH A LEGITIMATE

55:02LEGISLATIVE PROCESS. STUDENT

55:04SAFETY DURING SCHOOL HOURS IS

55:07ESSENTIAL, BUT THERE IS ROOM TO

55:08BETTER BALANCE SAFETY WITH

55:09MEANINGFUL SHARED ACCESS

55:11OUTSIDE SCHOOL HOURS. PUBLIC

55:13ADVANCE PUBLIC INVESTMENT

55:14SHOULD STRENGTHEN CIVIC LIFE,

55:16NOT REDUCE IT. AND WE HAVE ONE

55:18MORE SLIDE. IF THERE'S JUST

55:19ANOTHER MINUTE LEFT TO JUST TO

55:22GO OVER OUR REQUESTED

55:24CONDITIONS IN OUR WRITTEN

55:25APPEAL. SO THE FIRST ONE IS TO

55:27AMEND CONDITION D OF THE

55:29HEARINGS OFFICER DECISION TO

55:30PROVIDE THE SAME BICYCLE ACCESS

55:31THAT PS PROPOSES FOR THE EAST

55:33AND NORTH DRIVEWAYS. A NEW

55:35CONDITION OF APPROVAL TO

55:36MAINTAIN SAFE OFF ROAD

55:37PEDESTRIAN ACCESS ON BURLINGAME

55:39AVENUE, AND ANOTHER NEW

55:40CONDITION TO PRESERVE

55:42REASONABLE COMMUNITY ACCESS

55:43AFTER SCHOOL HOURS WHILE

55:45ALLOWING ALLOWING PS TO RETAIN

55:47CONTROL OF THE CAMPUS AND TO

55:48MANAGE SCHOOL SECURITY,

55:51MAINTENANCE, SCHEDULING AND

55:52AUTHORIZED USES. THANK YOU.

55:54THANKS FOR LISTENING. WE'RE

55:55HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

55:57>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND

56:00WITH 22 SECONDS LEFT.

56:04COLLEAGUES, IF THERE ARE ANY

56:05TECHNICAL OR CLARIFYING

56:06QUESTIONS, WITHOUT GETTING

56:06FURTHER INTO THE DEBATE OF THE

56:08MERIT, LET'S GO AHEAD AND FEEL

56:09FREE TO ASK OUR FOLKS HERE.

56:11COUNCILOR VICE PRESIDENT CLARK,

56:12FOLLOWED BY COUNCILOR GREEN.

56:13>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT,

56:15WELCOME. GOOD TO SEE YOU ON

56:17YOUR NUMBER THREE ON PUBLIC

56:19ACCESS. YOU'RE NOT YOU'RE NOT

56:21ASKING THAT THEY REMOVE THE

56:23FENCE, ARE YOU?

56:24>> NO, WE'RE NOT.

56:25>> OKAY WITH THE FENCE.

56:26>> I WOULDN'T SAY WE'RE OKAY

56:27WITH IT, BUT WE UNDERSTAND THAT.

56:31I MEAN, OUR UNDERSTANDING IS

56:32THAT THAT DOESN'T REALLY FALL

56:33UNDER THE PURVIEW OF THE

56:35PERMITTING PROCESS. WHAT WHAT A

56:36PUBLIC A PRIVATE PROPERTY OWNER

56:37DOES WITH FENCES ON THEIR

56:39PROPERTIES. SO WHILE THEY'RE,

56:43WHILE WE DON'T LOVE IT, WE'RE

56:46NOT ASKING FOR REMOVAL OF THE

56:47FENCE.

56:50>> OKAY. I WISH YOU HAD I THINK

56:52THE FENCE IS OFFENSIVE, BUT

56:53THAT'S MY OPINION. SO IN TERMS

56:58OF ACCESS, COULD YOU TALK A

56:59LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE

57:00ACCESS? YOU THINK THERE'S GOING

57:02TO BE MULTIPLE GATES AND DO

57:04PEOPLE DO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT

57:05JUST OPEN THOSE GATES AT A

57:07CERTAIN HOUR?

57:08>> YES THERE IS, AND I DON'T

57:11THINK I INCLUDED THAT IN OUR IN

57:13OUR PRESENTATION RIGHT HERE.

57:15BUT THERE IS A RENDERING IN THE

57:20THOUSAND PLUS PAGES OF THE

57:22APPLICATION SUBMITTED TO THE

57:23CITY THAT SHOWS WHERE THE GATES

57:26WILL BE AND A SCHEDULE FOR THE

57:28GATES ALLEGED OFFENSES AND

57:30GATES LEGEND. AND SORRY, I'M

57:32JUST RACKING MY BRAIN TRYING TO

57:34FIGURE OUT IF I'VE SUBMITTED

57:35THAT IN EVIDENCE SOMEWHERE. IF

57:37I CAN POINT YOU TO IT. AND

57:40GOING THROUGH THAT LIST OF

57:43GATES, THERE'S A GATE TO THE

57:45TRACK THAT SAYS IT WILL BE

57:47UNLOCKED AFTER SCHOOL HOURS.

57:48AND OUR OUR, WHICH IS GREAT.

57:49BUT OUR ISSUE THERE IS WHAT

57:51HAPPENS LATER WHEN THERE'S A

57:53NEW PRINCIPAL OR NEW POLICIES.

57:56THERE'S THE GATE THAT CONTROLS

57:59ACCESS TO THE PATHWAY THAT GOES

58:02THROUGH CAMPUS, AND THAT IS

58:03SCHEDULED TO BE UNLOCKED AFTER

58:05SCHOOL HOURS. AND THAT'S ABOUT

58:08IT. THERE ARE GATES. BLOCKING

58:13ACCESS THE BUILDING. SORRY, I

58:15DO NOT HAVE THIS TO SHOW YOU,

58:17BUT THE BUILDING AND THE TRACK.

58:20AND THEN IN BETWEEN, THERE'S A

58:22SERIES OF PATHWAYS AND AND THEN

58:27EVENTUALLY THAT KIND OF GOES

58:28AROUND THE BUILDING TO LEAD TO

58:30A COURTYARD AND THE PRACTICE

58:31FIELD ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE

58:33CAMPUS. AND WHAT THAT DIAGRAM

58:35AND THE FENCING AND GATES

58:37LEGEND SHOWS IS THAT THOSE THAT

58:40THERE ARE GATES CONTROLLING

58:41ACCESS TO THAT SECTION THAT

58:44WILL NOT EITHER NOT BE UNLOCKED

58:47OR IN SOME CASES, UNLOCKED FOR

58:48SCHOOL EVENTS, BECAUSE I THINK

58:50THERE'S A AN EVENTS ENTRANCE ON

58:53THAT ON THAT NORTH SIDE OF THE

58:55SCHOOL BUILDING FOR AFTER HOURS

58:57ATHLETIC EVENTS AND THEATER

59:00PERFORMANCE EVENTS. BUT THERE

59:02ARE NO GATES TO THE FENCED

59:04PRACTICE FIELD AREA, WHICH IS

59:06ON THE WEST AND WHICH FRONTS

59:09VERMONT STREET AND IS ROUGHLY

59:12KIND OF EQUIVALENT TO WHERE

59:13WELL, IT'S EQUIVALENT, I GUESS,

59:14TO WHERE THE BASEBALL FIELD IS

59:16NOW, I THINK. AND IT'S KIND OF

59:18EQUIVALENT TO THE PRACTICE

59:20FIELD AREA THAT SITS TO THE

59:23WEST OF THE SCHOOL BUILDING.

59:24AND THERE ARE NO GATES. SO THAT

59:26EXCEPT EXCEPT ONE FROM THE

59:28COURTYARD.

59:28>> ARE YOU ASKING THAT THE

59:29GATES BE OPEN ON THE WEEKEND?

59:31>> WE ARE.

59:33>> MAY I ADD, WE'VE HAD AN

59:35INFORMAL AGREEMENT WITH THE

59:37SCHOOL OVER THE YEARS. THAT

59:39AGREEMENT BASICALLY CALLED FOR

59:40THE TRACK TO BE OPEN AT PRETTY

59:42MUCH ALL HOURS, NON-SCHOOL

59:43HOURS. AND BASICALLY THAT IS IN

59:4690%, 95, MAYBE MORE. A PERCENT

59:48HAS BEEN HAS BEEN FOLLOWED, BUT

59:51AT TIMES THEY HAVE BEEN LOCKED

59:53WITHOUT ANY NOTICE TO THE

59:54NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THAT'S

59:55BASICALLY CAUSED A LOT OF

59:56INCONVENIENCE. WE HAVE A LOT OF

59:57PEOPLE THAT ARE OLDER USING

59:59THAT TRACK, BECAUSE THAT'S ONE

1:00:00OF THE FEW FLAT PLACES WE HAVE

1:00:02IN HILLSDALE. AND YOU KNOW,

1:00:04IT'S CALLED HILLSDALE BECAUSE

1:00:05THERE'S A LOT OF HILLS.

1:00:07>> AND JUST A REMINDER TO THE

1:00:08PUBLIC THAT THE TIMER IS STILL

1:00:10RUNNING BECAUSE ANY ADDITIONAL

1:00:12MOMENTS ABOVE THE TEN MINUTE

1:00:14MARK, INCLUDING COUNCILOR

1:00:15QUESTIONS, THE APPLICANT WILL

1:00:17ALSO GET TO HAVE THAT

1:00:18ADDITIONAL TIME. SO THAT IS WHY

1:00:19THE TIMER IS STILL GOING ON

1:00:21THERE.

1:00:21>> OKAY, I JUST WANTED TO

1:00:22CLARIFY THAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR

1:00:24THE GATES TO BE OPEN AFTER

1:00:26HOURS AND ON THE WEEKENDS, NOT

1:00:27IN THE MORNINGS. OKAY.

1:00:31>> I MEAN, AFTER OUTSIDE OF

1:00:32SCHOOL HOURS. WHAT? AND IT'S

1:00:37INTERESTING TO TALK ABOUT

1:00:38ACCESS AT OTHER CAMPUSES. I WAS

1:00:41AT GRANT HIGH SCHOOL RECENTLY,

1:00:43AND IT LOOKED TO ME TO

1:00:46FAIRLY OPEN. THERE ARE

1:00:48COURTYARDS THAT ARE NOT GATED

1:00:49AND NOT FENCED, AND THERE'S ON

1:00:51ONE END OF THE CAMPUS THAT SAYS,

1:00:53THESE ARE PROPERTIES. THEY'RE

1:00:55OPEN FROM DAWN TO DUSK TO THE

1:00:56PUBLIC WHEN NOT IN USE, WHEN

1:00:58NOT OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL HOURS, I

1:01:00THINK IS WHAT IT SAYS.

1:01:02>> THANK YOU.

1:01:03>> THANK YOU. VICE PRESIDENT

1:01:04CLARK COUNCILOR GREEN.

1:01:07>> YEAH, JUST BRIEFLY, THANK

1:01:08YOU. I WANT TO CLARIFY TWO

1:01:10THINGS. SO FOR THE FIRST PIECE

1:01:11IN THE APPLICATION. THERE'S A

1:01:16CITATION. I THINK IT BEGINS ON

1:01:17PAGE THREE, BUT IT SORT OF

1:01:19POINTS TO THE TRANSPORTATION

1:01:20SYSTEM PLAN AND PBOT DESIGN

1:01:25GUIDES. AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE

1:01:26I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY. THE

1:01:27ARGUMENT HERE IS TO SAY THAT

1:01:30DRIVEWAY WAS ACTUALLY

1:01:32ENVISIONED TO BE PART OF THE

1:01:34BICYCLING NETWORK. IS THAT

1:01:36CORRECT?

1:01:37>> CORRECT. SO THE CONDITIONAL

1:01:39USE CRITERIA STEER YOU TO THE

1:01:42TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PLAN. AND

1:01:43IT TALKS ABOUT APPLICABLE

1:01:45POLICIES AND SO FORTH. SO IF

1:01:47YOU GO TO CHAPTER TWO, THERE

1:01:49ARE SOME POLICIES THAT ARE

1:01:51STATED IN OUR WRITTEN APPEAL.

1:01:54AND THEN IN CHAPTER THREE WE

1:01:55HAVE WHAT ARE CALLED STREET

1:01:58CLASSIFICATIONS. AND IT'S ALL

1:01:59THE DIFFERENT STREET

1:02:00CLASSIFICATIONS IN THE CITY FOR

1:02:01ARTERIALS, COLLECTORS AND SO

1:02:02FORTH. BUT THERE'S ALSO IT

1:02:04STARTS WITH DESIGNATIONS FOR

1:02:07CITY WALKWAYS OF DIFFERENT

1:02:10TYPES, AND THEN ALSO BIKEWAYS

1:02:12OF DIFFERENT TYPES. SO RICKY

1:02:15ROAD IS SHOWN ON THE MAP AS

1:02:16BEING DESIGNATED AS A CITY

1:02:20BIKEWAY AND A NEIGHBORHOOD

1:02:22WALKWAY. THE STAFF AND

1:02:25REVIEWING IT KIND OF DISMISSED

1:02:27THAT AS WELL. WE USUALLY DON'T

1:02:28DO THAT. AND I WOULD AGREE

1:02:30THAT'S IT'S NOT A PUBLIC STREET

1:02:32PER SE, BUT IT CERTAINLY HAS

1:02:33BEEN RECOGNIZED AS SUCH. AND I

1:02:35THINK THAT'S STEMS FROM THE

1:02:37HILLSDALE TOWN CENTER PLAN,

1:02:39WHICH IDENTIFIED THAT ROUTE

1:02:41ALSO AS AN IMPORTANT PEDESTRIAN

1:02:44CORRIDOR. I MIGHT ALSO ADD THAT

1:02:46THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS ON THE

1:02:47TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE

1:02:49FOR THE HILLSDALE PLAN. SO THIS

1:02:50IS NOT A SECRET TO THE DISTRICT

1:02:52THAT THIS HAS BEEN CONSIDERED

1:02:54AS SORT OF A, YOU KNOW, ALMOST

1:02:58A PUBLIC. WELL, IT IS IT IS

1:02:59PUBLIC PROPERTY. I DISAGREE

1:03:00WITH THE IDEA THAT IT'S PRIVATE

1:03:02PROPERTY. I THINK ALL OF US IN

1:03:03THIS ROOM ARE STOCKHOLDERS IN

1:03:05PBS, BUT IT'S PRETTY CLEAR IN

1:03:10THERE THAT IT'S DESIGNATED AS

1:03:11SUCH. AND THE STAFF AND THE

1:03:13APPLICANT SO FAR HAVE JUST

1:03:14DISMISSED THAT AS WELL. WE

1:03:16DON'T HAVE TO EVEN WORRY ABOUT

1:03:17THAT STUFF.

1:03:18>> THANK YOU, I APPRECIATE THAT.

1:03:19I JUST WANTED TO SURFACE THAT

1:03:21UP INTO THE RECORD HERE. THE

1:03:22OTHER PIECE IS FOR I THINK IT'S

1:03:24THE SECOND REQUESTED AMENDMENT

1:03:27HERE, WHICH SPEAKS TO THE

1:03:29ACCESS TO SOUTHWEST BURLINGAME.

1:03:31I THINK IN THE PRESENTATION

1:03:33SORT OF SUGGESTS WE'RE ASKING

1:03:35FOR A FULLY BUILT OUT SIDEWALK,

1:03:36BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE I

1:03:38UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY IS THE ASK

1:03:39JUST AT LEAST GIVE US A SIX

1:03:41FOOT WIDE IMPROVED ACCESS LANE.

1:03:42IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE HIGH TECH

1:03:44OR COSTLY. IS THAT WHAT I'M

1:03:46HEARING FROM YOU, MR. BOCK?

1:03:48>> YES, BASICALLY, WE HAVE

1:03:50ACCESS NOW. BASICALLY, THEY'RE

1:03:52PROPOSING TO CLOSE THAT ACCESS

1:03:53AND FORCE US TO WALK IN THE

1:03:55STREET. WE'RE ASKING FOR EITHER

1:03:56CONTINUE THE ACCESS ON THE

1:03:58SCHOOL PROPERTY, WHICH WOULD BE

1:03:59WISE TO BE DEDICATED, OR BUILD

1:04:02A SIDEWALK FOR 170FT SO WE

1:04:03DON'T HAVE TO WALK IN THE

1:04:05STREET. AND THIS WOULD BE

1:04:06WALKING UPHILL. THE CREST OF

1:04:07THE HILL IS WHERE THE CROSSING

1:04:09INTO THE SCHOOL IS.

1:04:12>> OKAY. I JUST ALSO WANT.

1:04:13>> TO MAKE SURE. I THINK THAT'S

1:04:15ALSO WHY OUR PROPOSED CONDITION

1:04:16IS MORE PERFORMANCE ORIENTED,

1:04:18NOT IT'S GOT TO BE EXACTLY THIS

1:04:19WAY, BUT JUST SO WE HAVE SOME

1:04:21WAY TO WALK THAT'S NOT IN THE

1:04:23STREET, WHICH IS 16FT WIDE, BY

1:04:24THE WAY.

1:04:25>> AND WE'RE SENSITIVE TO THE

1:04:26COST OF THEIR INVESTMENT. IF IF

1:04:27THE SIDEWALK IS EXPENSIVE AND

1:04:29WE KNOW IT IS, USE WHAT YOU'VE

1:04:31GOT. GOOD GUY. YOU KNOW, WE

1:04:32DON'T HAVE TO REINVENT THE

1:04:33WHEEL HERE, GUYS, JUST TO OPEN

1:04:35YOUR EYES.

1:04:36>> YEAH, WE ALL NEED TO BE A

1:04:38LITTLE MORE COST CONSCIOUS IN

1:04:39THIS CONTEXT. THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

1:04:41COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

1:04:42>> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR GREEN

1:04:43COUNCILOR AVALOS.

1:04:45>> THANK YOU. I THINK I'M NOT

1:04:47UNDERSTANDING THE DILEMMA IN

1:04:49APPEAL. ONE IS IT THAT IT

1:04:52SOUNDS LIKE THAT'S A SPACE OF

1:04:55CORRIDOR PATHWAY THAT YOU ALL

1:04:58HAVE USED. COMMUNITY HAS USED.

1:05:00THE CHANGE IS GOING TO MEAN

1:05:04THAT WHAT THERE'S GOING TO BE

1:05:06MORE CARS ON THERE. AND SO

1:05:07YOU'RE CONCERNED THAT THAT'S

1:05:08GOING TO LIMIT ACCESS TO THE

1:05:10PEDESTRIANS. MAYBE JUST HELP ME

1:05:11UNDERSTAND, BECAUSE FROM WHAT I

1:05:12DON'T GET IS IT SEEMS LIKE

1:05:14EVERYBODY CAN STILL USE THE

1:05:15PATH. SO WHAT AM I MISSING?

1:05:18>> OKAY, SO ONE OF THE THINGS

1:05:19THAT'S BEEN CONFUSING THROUGH

1:05:20THE WHOLE COURSE OF THIS IS

1:05:22THAT, IN MY OPINION, THE, THE

1:05:24DESCRIPTION OF WHAT'S GOING TO

1:05:25BE ALLOWED ON THIS DRIVEWAY HAS

1:05:26SORT OF CHANGED OVER TIME AS

1:05:29THEY'VE STARTED FROM DESIGN

1:05:31REVIEW, SUBMITTED AN

1:05:33APPLICATION, SUBMITTED A MEMO

1:05:35AFTER THE APPLICATION WAS FILED,

1:05:36AND AFTER THE STAFF REPORT WAS

1:05:38DONE. THAT WAS SORT OF THE

1:05:39FINAL WORD ON WHAT ACCESS IS

1:05:41GOING TO BE ALLOWED. AND NOW

1:05:42WE'RE GETTING IN A SLIGHTLY

1:05:44DIFFERENT DESCRIPTION. AGAIN,

1:05:45IT KIND OF GOES BETWEEN NO

1:05:47BEING SILENT ON WHETHER BIKES

1:05:48CAN USE THE DRIVEWAY AT ALL OR

1:05:51SAYING, WELL, YEAH, WE MIGHT,

1:05:53BUT WE DON'T WANT TO DEDICATE

1:05:54AN EASEMENT, EVEN THOUGH WE'RE

1:05:56WILLING TO DEDICATE AN EASEMENT

1:05:58ON THE OTHER TWO DRIVEWAYS THAT,

1:06:00IRONICALLY, ARE NOT DESIGNATED

1:06:02IN THE TSB, AND THE STAFF AND

1:06:05RPS SEEM TO BE FINE WITH THAT.

1:06:07SO THE ISSUE IS THIS IF YOU

1:06:09HAVE IF YOU REQUIRE ALL OF THE

1:06:13PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS TO USE

1:06:15A PATH THAT HAS A CLEAR SPACE

1:06:17OF PROBABLY ABOUT SIX FEET,

1:06:18WHEN YOU HAVE CARS PARKED THERE,

1:06:20IT'S ONLY ABOUT SIX FEET WIDE.

1:06:22ANY KIND OF NORMAL STANDARD

1:06:23YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO USE FOR

1:06:24MULTI USE PATH IS AT LEAST

1:06:25TWICE THAT AMOUNT FOR ABOUT

1:06:2812FT OR SO. SO IT'S DEFICIENT.

1:06:32SO WHAT WE'RE COMPLAINING ABOUT

1:06:34IS WE DON'T HAVE ANY GUARANTEE

1:06:35THAT CYCLISTS CAN CONTINUE TO

1:06:37USE THE DRIVEWAY AS THEY HAVE.

1:06:40AND IF THEY ARE FORCED TO USE

1:06:42THE PATH THAT IS A SUBSTANDARD

1:06:44FACILITY. SO WE'RE NOT LOOKING

1:06:47FOR ANY PHYSICAL IMPROVEMENT OF

1:06:48ANY KIND. WE'RE JUST LOOKING

1:06:50FOR ACCESS. THE WAY IT HAS BEEN

1:06:53AS FAR AS THIS GROUP IS

1:06:54CONCERNED, THE ACCESS FOR CARS,

1:06:57NOT NOT BEING ABLE TO GO OUT

1:06:58ALL THE WAY THROUGH, THAT'S

1:07:00FINE.

1:07:00>> ONE OTHER POINT DURING THE

1:07:01PLANNING PROCESS, THEY

1:07:03BASICALLY PROPOSED THAT WE HAVE

1:07:04TO DISMOUNT AND WALK OUR BIKES

1:07:05THROUGH THIS AREA. YOU KNOW,

1:07:07IT'S BEEN CRAZY IN TERMS OF THE

1:07:10PERMUTATIONS THEY'VE GONE

1:07:11THROUGH.

1:07:12>> I'D ALSO LIKE TO ADD THAT

1:07:14THERE IS SOMETHING IN THE

1:07:15RECORD, THE 1000 PLUS PAGE

1:07:17RECORD, WHERE THE DISTRICT WAS

1:07:19CONTEMPLATING PUTTING GATES

1:07:21ACROSS THE DRIVEWAY IN TWO

1:07:23PLACES. SO OUR CONCERN IS, WELL,

1:07:25IF WE DON'T HAVE AN EASEMENT,

1:07:26THEN WE DON'T HAVE ANY

1:07:27ASSURANCE THAT THIS IS GOING TO

1:07:29BE REAL.

1:07:32>> OKAY. AND THEN AS IT RELATES

1:07:35TO THE FENCE. AS TO THE SPACE

1:07:48THAT THEY'LL KEEP THE DOORS

1:07:49OPEN, IS THAT CAN YOU JUST

1:07:52SUMMARIZE WHAT YOU'RE ASKING?

1:07:53>> YES, WE'RE WE'RE ASKING FOR.

1:07:57THE GATES TO BE OPEN OUTSIDE OF

1:08:00SCHOOL HOURS SO THAT THE PUBLIC

1:08:02CAN ACCESS THE GROUNDS OF THE

1:08:05CAMPUS.

1:08:06>> AND WHAT YOU'VE HEARD FROM

1:08:08YOU SAID SOMEBODY ASSURED YOU,

1:08:10WHO IS SOMEBODY? IS IT THE

1:08:11SCHOOL? IS IT THE DISTRICT THAT

1:08:13YOU THAT THEY THAT YOU WOULD

1:08:15HAVE ACCESS OR THAT THEY WOULD

1:08:16LEAVE THE GATES OPEN?

1:08:17>> WELL, WE HAVE TRADITIONALLY

1:08:20HAD ACCESS TO THE TRACK AND THE

1:08:23GATES AND THE FENCING AND GATES.

1:08:26LEGEND SAYS THE ACCESS TO THE

1:08:28TRACK, THE GATE WILL BE

1:08:29UNLOCKED AFTER SCHOOL HOURS. WE

1:08:31WOULD LIKE ASSURANCE THAT THAT

1:08:34WILL REMAIN AND NOT BE SUBJECT

1:08:37TO CHANGE UNDER NEW SCHOOL

1:08:39ADMINISTRATION OR CHANGES IN

1:08:41POLICY, THAT SUDDENLY WE'LL

1:08:43FIND THAT RPS HAS CHANGED THEIR

1:08:45MIND AND WE CAN'T HAVE ACCESS

1:08:47TO THE TRACK ANYMORE. AND THE

1:08:49GATE IS LOCKED.

1:08:52>> OKAY. THANK YOU.

1:08:53>> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR AVALOS

1:08:54AND COLLEAGUES, WE DO NEED TO

1:08:55MOVE FORWARD. SO COUNCILOR

1:08:56ZIMMERMAN WILL BE THE LAST

1:08:58TECHNICAL CLARIFYING QUESTION.

1:09:01>> THANKS. THE LAST RESPONSE,

1:09:05VALERIE, IS, I THINK, PROBABLY

1:09:06WHERE I'M I'M TRYING TO GRASP A

1:09:09LITTLE BIT MORE. SO. THE ASPECT

1:09:17OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT NOT

1:09:18BEING ABLE TO CHANGE ITS MIND

1:09:20IS SOMETHING YOU'RE BROUGHT UP

1:09:21SO THAT WE CAN PROTECT THIS

1:09:23ACCESS IN THE FUTURE. OVER THE

1:09:28DECADES, I CAN IMAGINE THAT THE

1:09:32PROBLEMS THAT FACE THE CAMPUS

1:09:33WILL CHANGE, RIGHT? SOMETIMES I

1:09:37THINK JUST LIKE I'VE BEEN A

1:09:39COACH AT A HIGH SCHOOL, I

1:09:40ACTUALLY TURNS OUT I WENT TO

1:09:42HIGH SCHOOL LIKE THE REST OF US

1:09:44IN THIS ROOM. AND LIKE, THERE

1:09:45WERE TIMES WHEN VANDALISM WAS A

1:09:46PROBLEM AT A CAMPUS I WAS

1:09:48FAMILIAR WITH. OTHER TIMES IT

1:09:49WAS THAT ONE CORNER BECAME THE

1:09:51PLACE WHERE WHERE NOT EVEN KIDS

1:09:52WENT TO THAT SCHOOL, BUT OTHERS

1:09:54WOULD SMOKE. RIGHT THEN IT WAS

1:09:56THAT PEOPLE WOULD CUT COOKIES

1:09:59IN THE PARKING LOT. AND RIGHT

1:10:00NOW, WHAT I'M HEARING A LOT IS

1:10:03THE WHATEVER THE HYPED UP

1:10:05VERSION OF THE E-BIKES, THE E,

1:10:07THE E MOTOS IS A THING. SO THE

1:10:10REASON I BRING THAT UP IS THAT

1:10:12THERE'S A THERE'S A CHANGING OF

1:10:13CONCERNS THAT COME WITH THE

1:10:15DECADES AND. THE WHAT YOU'RE

1:10:21ASKING WOULD PROVE OR HOW WOULD

1:10:25WHAT YOU'RE ASKING ENABLE THE

1:10:26SCHOOL DISTRICT TO STILL DEAL

1:10:28WITH. MAYBE A PROBLEM THAT

1:10:30ARISES FOR A COUPLE OF SUMMERS,

1:10:33BE IT FROM A SAFETY OR A

1:10:35MAINTENANCE ISSUE. WITHOUT JUST

1:10:40SAYING OUR HANDS ARE TIED

1:10:41BECAUSE THE CITY SAYS WE HAVE

1:10:42THIS EASEMENT, SO WE CANNOT DO

1:10:44ANYTHING TO CLOSE THIS CAMPUS

1:10:45TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. HOW DO

1:10:47WE SQUARE THAT PEG?

1:10:48>> WELL, I THINK THROUGH WE

1:10:51HAVE PROPOSED A GOOD NEIGHBOR

1:10:53AGREEMENT THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO

1:10:56BE ABLE TO DISCUSS WITH THE

1:10:59SCHOOL DISTRICT. I MEAN, WHAT

1:11:01WE PRESENTED WAS A DRAFT, AND

1:11:05WE SEE THAT AS A WORKING

1:11:07DOCUMENT. AND I SEE THAT AS THE

1:11:12THE WAY TO WORK THESE ISSUES

1:11:15OUT. AND, YOU KNOW, MAYBE,

1:11:18MAYBE WHEN WE ACTUALLY IN OUR

1:11:19DRAFT, WE DID SAY THAT THIS

1:11:21WOULD BE SUBJECT TO ONGOING

1:11:24COMMUNICATION AND CHECK INS ON

1:11:25EACH SIDE TO ADDRESS ISSUES

1:11:28THAT ARISE IN CONDITIONS THAT

1:11:30CHANGE. BUT I, I CAN ONLY SAY

1:11:34THAT WE WOULD LOVE THE

1:11:35OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT THAT

1:11:36AND WORK IT OUT WITH THE

1:11:38DISTRICT.

1:11:39>> OKAY. OKAY. I THINK THAT'S

1:11:47IT FOR MY QUESTION. THANK YOU.

1:11:48I APPRECIATE THE RESPONSE.

1:11:49>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I'LL

1:11:51NOTE THAT WE HAVE 14 MINUTES

1:11:52AND 51 SECONDS FOR. IN ADDITION

1:11:55TO BE OFFERING TO THE THE

1:11:58APPLICANT FOR THEIR

1:11:59PRESENTATION, WE'RE NOW GOING

1:12:01TO MOVE TOWARDS FOR TESTIMONY

1:12:02FROM THE SUPPORTERS OF THE

1:12:03APPELLANT WHO WILL RECEIVE

1:12:04THREE MINUTES EACH, I WILL BE

1:12:06UNFORTUNATELY ENFORCING THE

1:12:07DING OF THE BELL. SO WE WILL

1:12:09GET THREE MINUTES APIECE. AND

1:12:10LET'S GO AHEAD AND INVITE FOLKS

1:12:13UP.

1:12:16>> FIRST UP WE HAVE LINDA VENTI.

1:12:20>> THANK YOU. WELCOME. MAKE

1:12:21SURE TO INTRODUCE YOURSELF FOR

1:12:22THE RECORD. YOU'RE WELCOME TO

1:12:23SHARE YOUR PRONOUNS. AND YOU

1:12:25GOT THREE MINUTES.

1:12:26>> THANK YOU. I'M LINDA VENTI.

1:12:27THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR HARD

1:12:28WORK. ON BEHALF OF PORTLAND.

1:12:30I'M A 25 YEAR HILLSDALE

1:12:31RESIDENT AND LONGTIME PBS

1:12:33LOYALIST, WILSON HIGH SCHOOL

1:12:35ALUM AND MOTHER OF TWO IDA B

1:12:36WELLS GRADUATES. I HAVE SPENT

1:12:38COUNTLESS HOURS VOLUNTEERING IN

1:12:40AND OUT OF CLASSROOMS ACROSS

1:12:41THE DISTRICT AND WEEKENDS

1:12:42CLEANING CAMPUSES. I CHAIRED

1:12:44THE FOUNDATION FOR MANY YEARS

1:12:46AT GRAY AND WELLS. I WAS THE

1:12:48SOUTHWEST COORDINATOR FOR THE

1:12:49STOP THE REPEAL CAMPAIGN. I

1:12:51INVESTED IN PORTLAND AND ITS

1:12:53PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THE P. S BOND

1:12:55WEBSITE STATES THAT MODERNIZING

1:12:57AGING PUBLIC SERGEANT SORRY

1:13:00AGING SCHOOL BUILDINGS HAS

1:13:01IMPROVED WATER QUALITY AND

1:13:03PROVIDED SECURITY UPGRADES, NEW

1:13:05ROOFS, ASBESTOS AND RADON

1:13:08REMEDIATION, LEAD PAINT

1:13:09STABILIZATION, NEW FIRE ALARMS

1:13:11AND SPRINKLERS, MORE

1:13:12ACCESSIBILITY AND SEISMIC

1:13:14RETROFITS. WELLS SPECIFIC

1:13:16UPGRADES REFER TO COMMON SPACE,

1:13:17NEW TURF, ATHLETIC FIELDS,

1:13:19TENNIS COURTS, AND ACCESSIBLE

1:13:21WALKING PATHS. THESE ESTHETIC

1:13:23AND SAFETY UPGRADES SOUND GREAT,

1:13:25ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CAMPUS IS

1:13:26IN THE MIDDLE OF VIBRANT

1:13:28HILLSDALE, OPEN FOR ALL TO USE

1:13:29FOR OVER 70 YEARS. ADJACENT TO

1:13:32BOTH THE BUSINESS DISTRICT AND

1:13:34RESIDENTIAL AREAS. BUT THERE'S

1:13:36ONE MISSING WORD FROM THIS

1:13:38DESCRIPTION. FENCE VOTERS WERE

1:13:40SOLD ON MODERNIZATION, UPGRADES,

1:13:42AND TRANSPARENCY. BUT WHAT

1:13:44WE'RE GETTING IS MODERNIZATION,

1:13:46EXCLUSION, AND ANYTHING BUT

1:13:48TRANSPARENCY. COMMUNITY MEMBERS

1:13:49FEEL DECEIVED. WE VOTED TO PAY

1:13:52FOR A SAFE, MODERNIZED SCHOOL

1:13:53TO EDUCATE OUR COLLECTIVE

1:13:55STUDENTS, NOT FOR OFFENSE TO

1:13:57EXCLUDE US FROM THE GROUNDS AND

1:13:58BUILDINGS WE'VE MOWED, PLANTED,

1:14:00WEEDED, MAINTAINED, CLEANED AND

1:14:02SHARED FOR OVER 70 YEARS.

1:14:04SITUATED IN THE HEART OF OUR

1:14:06THRIVING COMMUNITY. FURTHERING

1:14:08THE INSULT ARE THE MISLEADING

1:14:10SIGNS PLANTED ALL AROUND THE

1:14:11CAMPUS, PURPORTEDLY GIVING

1:14:12PUBLIC NOTICE AND OFFERING

1:14:15OPPORTUNITIES FOR INPUT. THE

1:14:17SIGNS SHOW A BEAUTIFUL OPEN

1:14:19CAMPUS WITH NARY A FENCE IN

1:14:20SIGHT, OR 199-050-0040 NOTICE

1:14:26REQUIREMENTS STATES THAT PUBLIC

1:14:28NOTICE MUST INCLUDE THE AGENDA

1:14:30OR LIST OF THE PRINCIPAL

1:14:31SUBJECTS ANTICIPATED TO BE

1:14:33CONSIDERED AT THE MEETING.

1:14:34THESE SUBJECTS SHALL BE

1:14:36SPECIFIC ENOUGH TO PERMIT

1:14:37MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC TO

1:14:39RECOGNIZE THE MATTERS IN WHICH

1:14:40THEY ARE INTERESTED. BELIEVE ME

1:14:42WHEN I SAY THAT HILLSDALE AND

1:14:43ITS NEIGHBORS ARE EXTREMELY

1:14:45INTERESTED IN P. S PREVIOUSLY

1:14:48UNDISCLOSED AND ALL BUT UNKNOWN

1:14:49PLAN TO FENCE THE ENTIRE WELLS

1:14:52CAMPUS, ESPECIALLY WITHOUT

1:14:53ALLOWING AFTER SCHOOL ACCESS.

1:14:56PUBLIC NOTICE WAS NOT

1:14:57ADEQUATELY GIVEN. IN FACT,

1:14:59COMMUNITY MEMBERS VOTERS FEEL

1:15:02MISLED AND EVEN DECEIVED BY THE

1:15:04MISREPRESENTATIVE SIGNS

1:15:05DISPLAYED FOR MONTHS IN STALLED

1:15:09AFTER THE DESIGN TEAM HAD

1:15:10ALREADY DECIDED TO FENCE THE

1:15:12CAMPUS. THE HUNDREDS OF

1:15:14SIGNATURES, EMAILS, POSTCARDS

1:15:15AND LETTERS IN SUPPORT OF THE

1:15:16PROPOSED GOOD NEIGHBOR

1:15:18AGREEMENT, ALL SINCE RECENTLY

1:15:19LEARNING ABOUT THE FENCE, ARE

1:15:21PROOF OF THE IMPORTANCE OF

1:15:22ACCESS TO THE PUBLIC. AFTER

1:15:24DECADES OF PARTICIPATION IN

1:15:25SCHOOLS AND PRO P. S ACTIVISM,

1:15:28THIS VOTER IS DISAPPOINTED IN

1:15:29THE LACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND

1:15:32DISMAYED BY THE OUTRIGHT

1:15:34MISREPRESENTATION. I ASK THE

1:15:35COUNCIL CONSIDER P. S LACK OF

1:15:37ADEQUATE PUBLIC NOTICE AND ITS

1:15:39DISREGARD FOR VOTERS AND

1:15:40RESIDENTS.

1:15:40>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANKS

1:15:42A LOT. BE HERE TODAY.

1:15:43>> THANK YOU.

1:15:44>> NEXT UP, WE HAVE NGUYEN.

1:15:51>> WELCOME.

1:15:54>> HI, EVERYONE. THANK YOU SO

1:15:55MUCH FOR YOUR TIME, AND I

1:15:57APPRECIATE THAT WE CAN BE HERE

1:15:58AND LISTEN TO EACH OTHER. FIRST

1:16:00OF ALL, I JUST WANT TO ANSWER

1:16:02TO RYAN.

1:16:02>> INTRODUCE YOURSELF FOR THE

1:16:04RECORD. OH, SAY SAY YOUR NAME

1:16:05ON THE RECORD.

1:16:06>> OH, MY NAME IS NGUYEN. YEAH,

1:16:07SORRY ABOUT THAT. BUT HAVE YOU.

1:16:10I JUST WANT TO, FIRST OF ALL,

1:16:11AND I WANT TO ANSWER BRIAN'S

1:16:13QUESTION ABOUT THE TAX BURDEN

1:16:15ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD. AND I

1:16:17WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU A COUNTER

1:16:18QUESTION. WHAT IS THE TAX

1:16:21BURDEN ON AMERICAN NON AMERICAN

1:16:23ON THIS COUNTRY? WHAT IS THE

1:16:26BURDEN OF PORTLANDERS ON THIS

1:16:28CITY? WHAT IS THE BURDEN OF

1:16:31HILLSDALE RESIDENT TO. IT'S THE

1:16:33INSTITUTION THAT REPRESENTED.

1:16:37SO I'M AN IMMIGRANT MOTHER OF

1:16:39TWO YOUNG CHILDREN, AND I. OUR

1:16:42FAMILY MOVED TO PORTLAND TWO

1:16:43AND A HALF YEARS AGO. AND THE

1:16:45ONE THING THAT MADE HILLSDALE

1:16:46FEEL LIKE HOME WAS THE UW WELLS

1:16:49CAMPUS OUTDOORS OUTSIDE SCHOOL.

1:16:51NOW, THE TRACKS, THE FIELD AND

1:16:53THE COURSE ARE PLACES WHERE OUR

1:16:55CHILDREN CAN RUN AND PLAY

1:16:56WITHOUT EVERY ACTIVITY. BECOME

1:16:58A PAID CLASS OR REGISTRATION OR

1:17:01CAR TRIP. WE SEE ALL THE ADULTS

1:17:03WALKING, TEENAGERS EXERCISING,

1:17:05FAMILY MEETING AND PEOPLE FROM

1:17:07OTHER NEIGHBORHOODS USING THE

1:17:08SAME GROUNDS. TO ME, THAT IS

1:17:10WHAT A HEALTHY CIVIC CULTURE

1:17:12LOOK LIKE. SHARED RESOURCES,

1:17:13FREEDOM OF USE, AND MUTUAL

1:17:16RESPONSIBILITY. THAT WAY, THE

1:17:19PROPOSED FENCING CONCERNED ME

1:17:20IN THE PLACE WHERE I GREW UP.

1:17:23INSTITUTIONAL FENCES OFTEN

1:17:24SIGNAL THAT ACCESS DEPEND ON

1:17:26AUTHORITY RATHER THAN ORDINARY

1:17:27PUBLIC USE. THE URBAN SPACE

1:17:30COMMUNICATE VALUE, AND THIS

1:17:32IMAGE CHANGES THE RELATIONSHIP

1:17:34BETWEEN THE SCHOOL AND THE

1:17:35COMMUNITY. IF WE LOOK CLOSELY

1:17:39AT THE AS THE PLAN, WE CAN SEE

1:17:41LAYERS AND LAYERS. WE CAN SEE

1:17:44AT LEAST THREE LAYERS OF

1:17:45FENCING. AND DEPENDING ON THE

1:17:49FINAL FENCING SYSTEM, THAT CAN

1:17:51REPRESENT AS MUCH AS 3900

1:17:54LINEAR FEET, ROUGHLY 0.74 MILES,

1:17:57AND ABOUT THREE LAPS AROUND A

1:17:59STANDARD RUNNING TRACK THAT IS

1:18:01ROUGHLY 8 TO 26 TONS OF STEEL,

1:18:03DEPENDING ON THE FINAL FENCE

1:18:04SYSTEM. MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE

1:18:07MATERIAL ITSELF IS WHAT IT DOES.

1:18:09THE PUBLIC MAY STILL BE ABLE TO

1:18:11PASS THROUGH, BUT NOT

1:18:12NECESSARILY STAY, PLAY,

1:18:14EXERCISE OR GATHER. AND IT HAS

1:18:16A SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC COST.

1:18:19HILLSDALE PARK IS ONLY 5.7

1:18:21ACRES AND HAS NO EQUIVALENT

1:18:23TRACKS, TENNIS COURTS OR

1:18:24ATHLETIC FIELDS, AND IT. IF WE

1:18:29HAVE TO REPLACE THE RECREATION,

1:18:31ADD ON ONLY 15 MINUTES EACH WAY

1:18:33TWICE A WEEK, THAT BECOMES

1:18:35ABOUT 50 HOURS OF FAMILY TRAVEL

1:18:37EACH YEAR. SAFETY MATTERS, BUT

1:18:40SAFETY SHOULD BE DEMONSTRATED,

1:18:43NOT ASSUME OREGON LAW AS WHAT.

1:18:46PORTLAND POLICY SUPPORT OF

1:18:48PUBLIC USE WHILE MEETING

1:18:50STUDENT SAFETY NEED AND JANE

1:18:51JACOBS CALL ORDINARY PUBLIC

1:18:53PRESENCE. EYES ON THE STREET. I

1:18:56JUST WANT TO CONCLUDE THAT I

1:18:59HOPE THAT PPC AND THE CITY CAN

1:19:01PRESERVE A DURABLE. NO

1:19:03RESERVATION AFTER OUR ACCESS.

1:19:04WHEN THESE OUTDOOR FACILITIES

1:19:05ARE NOT NEEDED FOR THE SCHOOL

1:19:07ACTIVITY. THIS IS NOT A

1:19:09NEIGHBORHOOD PRIVILEGE. THANK

1:19:10YOU.

1:19:10>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

1:19:12>> NEXT UP, WE HAVE RICHARD

1:19:14STEIN ONLINE.

1:19:19>> WELCOME, RICHARD.

1:19:21>> THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. MY

1:19:25NAME IS. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME

1:19:28IS RICHARD STEIN. I CREATED THE

1:19:30HILLSDALE FOOD PARK AND I'M ON

1:19:32THE BOARD OF THE PORTLAND

1:19:33BALLET. I HELPED COLLECT OVER

1:19:36250 SIGNATURES IN SUPPORT OF

1:19:38THIS APPEAL. I'M PHONING IN

1:19:41FROM AMSTERDAM, WHERE IT IS

1:19:43AFTER MIDNIGHT. BUT THIS IS

1:19:46IMPORTANT. I'M HERE TO ASK THE

1:19:48COUNCIL TO INTERVENE AND

1:19:50REQUIRE THE SCHOOL TO MAINTAIN

1:19:52A A SAFE PEDESTRIAN ROUTE ALONG

1:19:56BURLINGAME AVENUE TO ALLOW

1:19:59BICYCLES TO PASS EASILY THROUGH

1:20:00RICKY ROAD AND TO CONTINUE TO

1:20:02ALLOW PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE

1:20:04SCHOOL GROUNDS DURING

1:20:06NON-SCHOOL USE HOURS. OUR

1:20:10REQUEST TO DATE HAVE BEEN

1:20:12LARGELY IGNORED BY P. S. IT

1:20:15SEEMS SHAMEFUL THAT IT HAS HAD

1:20:17TO GET TO THIS POINT, BUT IT'S

1:20:19SO IMPORTANT THAT THE HILLSDALE

1:20:21NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION AND

1:20:22THE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IT

1:20:25DIRECTLY REPRESENTS, HAS MADE

1:20:27THE SUBSTANTIAL EFFORT OF

1:20:28BRINGING THIS BEFORE YOU. TODAY,

1:20:31WHILE CURRENT SCHOOL

1:20:33ADMINISTRATORS

1:20:34>> UNDERSTAND THAT THE PROPERTY

1:20:35IS A KEY SOCIAL AND

1:20:37RECREATIONAL HUB FOR THE

1:20:38COMMUNITY. FUTURE

1:20:41ADMINISTRATORS MAY NOT

1:20:42UNDERSTAND THIS. THIS IS WHY WE

1:20:44WANT SOME ASSURANCES. IN

1:20:47PARTICULAR, I WANT TO SPEAK

1:20:48ABOUT FENCING IN THE SCHOOL

1:20:50GROUNDS AND THE IMPACT OF

1:20:52LOCKING THESE FENCES DURING

1:20:54NON-SCHOOL HOURS. THIS FENCE IS

1:20:57CERTAINLY CONTROVERSIAL. I'M

1:20:59WITH YOU, COUNCILOR CLARKE IN

1:21:02WIDE OPEN HILLSDALE, WRAPPING A

1:21:04PUBLICLY FUNDED PROPERTY WITH A

1:21:06TALL FENCE SEEMS WEIRDLY

1:21:09INCONGRUOUS. AND AS MORE THAN

1:21:11ONE PERSON TOLD ME, IT SENDS A

1:21:13BAD MESSAGE TO THE STUDENTS

1:21:16YOU'RE NOT SAFE IN THIS WORLD

1:21:19UNLESS YOU'RE LOCKED IN.

1:21:23PORTLAND'S POPULATION IS AGING,

1:21:25AND HILLSDALE RESIDENTS ARE

1:21:27OLDER THAN THE REST OF THE CITY.

1:21:29IN VERY FLAT NETHERLANDS,

1:21:32SENIORS CAN WALK EVERYWHERE. IN

1:21:35CONTRAST, 81% OF HILLSDALE

1:21:37STREETS DO NOT HAVE SIDEWALKS.

1:21:40MOST OF THE STREETS ARE VERY

1:21:42ROUGH AND ALMOST NONE ARE LEVEL.

1:21:45IN FACT, THE SCHOOL GROUNDS ARE

1:21:46ONE OF ONLY TWO FLAT AREAS IN

1:21:49ALL OF HILLSDALE. THE OTHER IS

1:21:51THE ROOFTOP PARKING LOT AT FRED

1:21:54MEYER. I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT

1:21:58MANY LOCAL SENIORS EXERCISE ON

1:22:00THE SCHOOL GROUNDS. LOCKING IT

1:22:03UP WOULD BE DEVASTATING. THE

1:22:06HEALTH, SAFETY AND HAPPINESS OF

1:22:10MANY PEOPLE DEPEND ON WHAT YOU

1:22:12DECIDE TODAY. IT IS IN YOUR

1:22:15HANDS NOW TO MAKE THE BEST

1:22:17DECISION. THANK YOU.

1:22:20>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

1:22:22>> NEXT UP WE HAVE EILEEN

1:22:23LAUBER ONLINE.

1:22:27>> HI, MY NAME IS EILEEN LAUBER.

1:22:29I LIVE ABOUT A HALF A BLOCK

1:22:31FROM WELLS ON 11TH DRIVE, SO

1:22:34I'M RIGHT BY THE SCHOOL. AND MY

1:22:36DAUGHTER GRADUATED FROM THE

1:22:38SCHOOL. I ALSO WAS A VOLUNTEER

1:22:40THERE FOR AT LEAST 12 YEARS,

1:22:43EITHER AT WELLS OR AT RICKY OR

1:22:46AT GRAY. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY

1:22:49THAT THIS SCHOOL SHOULD REMAIN

1:22:50OPEN AND A PART OF THE

1:22:52COMMUNITY. IT IS NOT A SEPARATE

1:22:53CAMPUS FROM OUR COMMUNITY. AND,

1:22:57YOU KNOW, ONE, ONE TIME OUR OUR

1:23:00STREET CONSIDERED CLOSING OFF

1:23:01PARKING TO STUDENTS. WE'RE ONE

1:23:03OF THE FEW STREETS WHERE YOU

1:23:04CAN PARK DURING THE DAY. AND WE

1:23:06CHOSE NOT TO. AND I, I RALLIED

1:23:08TO NOT BLOCK IT OFF TO STUDENTS,

1:23:10EVEN THOUGH IT'S EVEN THOUGH

1:23:11WE'RE VERY CROWDED MANY DAYS.

1:23:14BUT I DID THAT BECAUSE I WANT

1:23:16STUDENTS TO FEEL LIKE THEY HAVE

1:23:18THAT THEY HAVE ACCESS AND THAT

1:23:20THEY THAT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS

1:23:21THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD TOO. SO I AM

1:23:24ALSO DISABLED. AND THE FLATNESS

1:23:26OF THE TRACK I USE THAT OFTEN.

1:23:29AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME

1:23:32THAT'S IMPORTANT. I DO WANT TO

1:23:33ALSO WANT TO MENTION THAT

1:23:34LEAVING, HAVING THE THE CAMPUS

1:23:37OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ALSO OPENS

1:23:38IT TO STUDENTS AFTER HOURS

1:23:41BECAUSE WHEN YOU CLOSE IT,

1:23:42YOU'RE GOING TO CLOSE IT TO

1:23:43EVERYBODY EXCEPT FOR THOSE THAT

1:23:46RENT OUT SPACE OR PAY IN SOME

1:23:48WAY OR TO STUDENTS AS PART OF A

1:23:51GROUP. BUT THERE ARE MANY

1:23:52STUDENTS THAT ALSO ARE THERE

1:23:53AFTER HOURS ON THE TRACK AND

1:23:55PLAYING IN THE FIELD AND SO ON.

1:23:57WE'RE LOSING A LOT TO LOSE THE

1:23:59FIELD THAT WE. THAT SEEMS LIKE

1:24:01A PARK, AND IT WAS ONE OF THE

1:24:03REASONS THAT I MOVED HERE IN

1:24:04THE FIRST PLACE, IS LIKE THE

1:24:06SCHOOLS WERE GOOD AND THE

1:24:07SIDEWALKS ARE NICE. AND JUST

1:24:10THIS, IT'S JUST GOING TO WHAT'S

1:24:13PROPOSED IS GOING TO CHANGE THE

1:24:14WHOLE FEELING OF OUR

1:24:17NEIGHBORHOOD. I ALSO WANT TO

1:24:18SPECIFICALLY MENTION THE

1:24:19BURLINGAME ACCESS. IF YOU CLOSE

1:24:20THAT LITTLE, THAT LITTLE ACCESS

1:24:22TO WHICH IS JUST PEDESTRIAN TO

1:24:24THE SCHOOL, THAT ROAD,

1:24:28BURLINGAME AVENUE, IS UNSAFE

1:24:29EVEN FOR CARS. YOU CAN BARELY

1:24:32FIT TWO CARS GOING OPPOSITE

1:24:34DIRECTIONS ON THAT STREET. AND

1:24:37TO HAVE TO HAVE MORE STUDENTS

1:24:39THERE IS PROBLEMATIC. AND ALSO

1:24:41THE ROCKY ROAD SITUATION IN

1:24:45TERMS OF BIKES, THAT LITTLE

1:24:47SPACE FOR PEDESTRIANS IS TOO

1:24:49SMALL FOR PEDESTRIANS AND BIKES

1:24:50TOGETHER AND I WOULDN'T FEEL

1:24:53SAFE. I'M NOT THAT STEADY ON MY

1:24:55FEET. AND I WOULD FEEL LIKE IF

1:24:56THAT HAD BIKES GOING BACK AND

1:24:58FORTH, AND IT'S GOING TO BE A

1:24:59LOT MORE CROWDED WITH THE

1:25:01BOLLARDS, FORCING CARS TO MAKE

1:25:02TO TURN AROUND. AND SO I FEEL

1:25:05STRONGLY THAT WE SHOULD HAVE A

1:25:07DESIGNATED ACCESS FOR A

1:25:10SEPARATION OF THE BIKES AND

1:25:13PEDESTRIANS THERE. SO I THINK

1:25:15I'VE, I'VE MENTIONED EVERYTHING.

1:25:16I HOPE THAT YOU MAKE THE

1:25:17DECISION TO, YOU KNOW, I WAS

1:25:19STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF THE BOND,

1:25:21STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF A NEW

1:25:22SCHOOL, NEVER EXPECTED TO BE IN

1:25:25ANY OPPOSITION, BUT WOW, THIS

1:25:27IS NOT CONSISTENT WITH OUR

1:25:28NEIGHBORHOOD. THANK YOU.

1:25:30>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

1:25:32>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

1:25:33>> THAT COMPLETES TESTIMONY.

1:25:35>> OKEY DOKE. WE ARE NOW GOING

1:25:37TO BE MOVING INTO A

1:25:39PRESENTATION FROM THE APPLICANT.

1:25:40AS I MENTIONED BEFORE, THEY ARE

1:25:43GIVEN 15 MINUTES BUT THEY ALSO

1:25:44HAVE AN ADDITIONAL 15 MINUTES.

1:25:47BASED ON OUR BACK AND FORTH.

1:25:48BUT THAT WILL ALSO INCORPORATE

1:25:49OUR TECHNICAL AND CLARIFYING

1:25:51QUESTIONS. SO WELCOME. COME ON

1:25:55UP AND TAKE YOUR TIME I SUPPOSE.

1:25:58>> THANK YOU.

1:26:00>> GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS

1:26:01CHRISTY WHITE. I'M A LAND USE

1:26:03LAWYER WITH RATHER WHITE PARKS

1:26:05AND ALEXANDER. AND I AM

1:26:07REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT,

1:26:08PORTLAND PUBLIC SCHOOLS. AND

1:26:10WITH ME IS HANNAH BLOOM FROM

1:26:13OUR OFFICE. WHO'S GOING TO HELP

1:26:14US RUN THE POWERPOINT

1:26:16PRESENTATION. THIS APPEAL

1:26:18REQUESTS MORE PUBLIC ACCESS. AS

1:26:20YOU'VE HEARD, TO RICKY

1:26:22ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND IDA B

1:26:23WELLS HIGH SCHOOL. I'M GOING TO

1:26:26ADDRESS THOSE REQUESTS. BUT

1:26:28BEFORE I DO THAT, I WANT TO

1:26:30CLEARLY PUT ON THE RECORD AND

1:26:33IN A CLEAR FORMAT WHAT THE

1:26:35PUBLIC ACCESS IS THAT IS

1:26:37ALREADY OFFERED AND REQUIRED

1:26:39UNDER THIS APPROVAL. AND AS YOU

1:26:41CONSIDER THIS PUBLIC ACCESS,

1:26:43PLEASE ALSO CONSIDER THAT THIS

1:26:45PROPERTY ALSO HAS TO BE MANAGED

1:26:47AS A SCHOOL PROPERTY. IT'S NOT

1:26:48A PARKS PROPERTY AND IT'S OWNED

1:26:51BY WPS. WE HAVE TO BALANCE

1:26:52THESE TWO THINGS. AND I THINK

1:26:54WE'RE GOING TO STRIKE A BALANCE

1:26:55HERE TODAY. THERE WILL BE FOUR

1:26:58NEW PUBLIC ACCESS EASEMENTS

1:27:00THROUGH THE CAMPUS THAT PROVIDE

1:27:02EITHER BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN OR

1:27:05VEHICLE OR BOTH ACCESS POINTS.

1:27:08THREE OF THE ACCESS EASEMENTS

1:27:10SHOWN HERE IN ORANGE, WRAPPING

1:27:14THE EASTERN AND NORTHERN SIDE

1:27:15OF THE CAMPUS AND THE RICKY

1:27:17PATH THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE

1:27:18CAMPUS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC

1:27:22AT ALL HOURS, ON ALL DAYS, AND

1:27:26ARE NOT GATED AND ARE NOT

1:27:28FENCED. NONE OF THESE

1:27:30UNRESTRICTED EASEMENTS WILL BE

1:27:32FENCED OR GATED. THE FOURTH

1:27:34EASEMENT THAT YOU SEE THERE IN

1:27:35RED IS THE MID CAMPUS CONNECTOR.

1:27:38IT GOES THROUGH THE CENTER OF

1:27:39THE CAMPUS AND OF COURSE IT

1:27:40WILL BE GATED DURING SCHOOL

1:27:42HOURS. THE PUBLIC POOL BUILDING

1:27:44WILL BE REMODELED AND UPGRADED

1:27:46AT SIGNIFICANT COST, AND PUBLIC

1:27:48PARKING AND ACCESS TO THE POOL

1:27:50WILL BE IMPROVED. AND YOU SEE

1:27:51THAT IN THE BLUE LINE AROUND

1:27:54THE POOL BUILDING. THE

1:27:56MODERNIZATION RETAINS, AS

1:27:58COMMISSIONER CLARK MENTIONED,

1:28:00THE ON SITE LOCATION FOR THE

1:28:01PUBLIC HILLSDALE FARMERS MARKET,

1:28:03ALSO WITH ENHANCED PARKING. THE

1:28:06MODERNIZATION INCLUDES LIGHTED

1:28:07ATHLETIC FIELDS THAT WILL

1:28:09EXTEND THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE

1:28:11PUBLIC USE THROUGH THE CIVIC

1:28:12USE OF BUILDINGS PROGRAM. ALL

1:28:14OF THE FACILITIES ACROSS THIS

1:28:16CAMPUS FIELD BUILDING ALLOW THE

1:28:19PUBLIC USE OF THE SCHOOL

1:28:21FACILITIES OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL

1:28:23HOURS THROUGH A RESERVATION

1:28:25SYSTEM. PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE

1:28:27SCHOOL MUST BE BALANCED WITH

1:28:28THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THIS

1:28:30PROPERTY, WHICH IS AN

1:28:31ELEMENTARY AND HIGH SCHOOL. NOW

1:28:33TO THE REQUEST FOR MORE PUBLIC

1:28:35USE OF WPS FACILITIES. I WANT

1:28:38TO JUST BE CLEAR THAT THERE IS

1:28:40NO LEGAL BASIS OR CODE SECTION

1:28:42THAT WOULD ALLOW THE APPELLANT

1:28:44TO DEMAND MORE DEDICATION OF

1:28:45WPS PROPERTY FOR PUBLIC USE. I

1:28:48KNOW THAT'S NOT A POPULAR

1:28:49STATEMENT, BUT IT'S THE TRUTH

1:28:51AND IT IS AS A MATTER OF LAW

1:28:53UNDER OUR CODE, WHICH APPLIES

1:28:55EQUALLY TO EVERY SCHOOL ACROSS

1:28:56THE DISTRICT AND EVERY PROPERTY

1:28:58ACROSS THE DISTRICT. THERE'S NO

1:29:00PUBLIC OPEN SPACE REQUIREMENT

1:29:02UNDER THE APPLICABLE

1:29:03CONDITIONAL USE CRITERIA. THE

1:29:05GENERAL COMMUNITY PLANS WERE

1:29:06TURNED TO. BUT AGAIN, AS YOU

1:29:08HEARD FROM STAFF, NONE OF THOSE

1:29:10PLANS SAY IT. AND NONE OF THOSE

1:29:12PLANS HAVE EVER BEEN

1:29:13INTERPRETED TO SAY THAT THE

1:29:15SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS AN

1:29:16OBLIGATION TO DEDICATE PUBLIC

1:29:18OPEN SPACE, OR THE USE OF

1:29:19PUBLIC OPEN SPACE UNDER 700 070

1:29:23A LITERAL READINGS OF THE CODE

1:29:25LANGUAGE WILL BE USED, AND

1:29:26REGULATIONS CANNOT BE

1:29:28INTERPRETED MORE STRICT THAN

1:29:29THEIR STATED, BECAUSE THERE'S

1:29:31NO COMMUNITY PLAN POLICY AND NO

1:29:33CODE STANDARD THAT WOULD

1:29:35REQUIRE ADDITIONAL PUBLIC OPEN

1:29:36SPACE DEDICATED TO PUBLIC USE.

1:29:38THAT'S NON-SCHOOL USE. YOU

1:29:40CAN'T CREATE THAT STANDARD

1:29:42THROUGH AN INTERPRETATION

1:29:43WITHOUT VIOLATING 700 070 A.

1:29:47IMPORTANTLY, HERE, THIS IS A

1:29:48SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND UNDER

1:29:50OREGON'S GENERAL CONDEMNATION

1:29:51PROCEDURE ACT, THE CITY AND WPS

1:29:54HAVE COEQUAL AUTHORITY TO

1:29:56ACQUIRE AND USE LAND FOR A

1:29:58PUBLIC PURPOSE UNDER THE PRIOR

1:30:00PUBLIC USE DOCTRINE, A PROPERTY

1:30:02THAT IS ALREADY OPERATING AS A

1:30:05PUBLIC USE, LIKE A SCHOOL USE,

1:30:07CANNOT BE CONVERTED BY THE CITY

1:30:09FOR ANOTHER PUBLIC USE UNLESS

1:30:11THE LEGISLATURE HAS EXPLICITLY

1:30:14STATED SO. AND HERE, OREGON

1:30:15STATE LAW DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY

1:30:18EXPLICIT AUTHORITY GRANTING THE

1:30:20CITY SUPERSEDING POWER OVER WPS

1:30:22TO OPEN ITS PROPERTY FOR

1:30:24NON-SCHOOL OPEN SPACE USE. HERE

1:30:27COMES THE BETTER PART. I JUST

1:30:28WANTED TO LAY DOWN THE LAW

1:30:30BECAUSE THAT IS THE LAW AND IT

1:30:31APPLIES EQUALLY ACROSS THE

1:30:32DISTRICT. WPS ACKNOWLEDGES THE

1:30:36APPEAL. THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THE

1:30:37CONCERNS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD

1:30:39AND WERE IN THIS FORUM. SO WE

1:30:41CAN BE VERY CLEAR HOW WE'RE

1:30:43RESPONDING TO THAT

1:30:44ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND HOW

1:30:46RESPONDING TO THAT

1:30:47ACKNOWLEDGMENT THROUGH A

1:30:48CONDITION OF APPROVAL THAT GETS

1:30:50IMPOSED ON A LAND USE DECISION

1:30:52THAT RUNS WITH THE LAND AND

1:30:54THEREFORE IS IN THE CITY'S VERY

1:30:56CLEAR ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY, IS

1:30:58THE RIGHT PLACE TO DO THAT, NOT

1:30:59IN A GOOD NEIGHBOR AGREEMENT

1:31:01THAT HAS NOT THIS LEVEL OF

1:31:03CLARITY, NO CODE BASIS, AND NO

1:31:05ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY FOR FOR

1:31:06THE CITY. SO WHAT I'M GOING TO

1:31:09DO HERE IS TURN TO A CONDITION

1:31:11OF APPROVAL THAT WE CAN AGREE

1:31:13TO. THAT IS, I WOULD ARGUE,

1:31:15COMPLETELY RESPONSIVE TO THE

1:31:17REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL USE OF

1:31:18OPEN SPACE. THIS IS NOT A

1:31:21CONDITION THAT OTHER SCHOOLS

1:31:23CAMPUSES HAVE ENJOYED. I'LL

1:31:25READ IT OUT LOUD SO EVERYONE

1:31:26CAN HEAR IT. WPS SHALL ALLOW

1:31:29PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE TRACK

1:31:31FACILITY AND THE TENNIS COURTS

1:31:32ON THE IDA B WELLS CAMPUS AND

1:31:34THE SOFTBALL FIELD AND

1:31:35MULTI-USE FIELD ON THE CAMPUS

1:31:38OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL HOURS FROM 6

1:31:40A.M. TO 8 A.M. AND FROM 5 P.M.

1:31:43TO 9 P.M. ON WEEKDAYS AND FROM

1:31:466 A.M. TO 9 P.M. ON WEEKENDS

1:31:48AND OTHER DAYS WHEN SCHOOL IS

1:31:49NOT IN SESSION. GATES WILL BE

1:31:53UNLOCKED FOR PUBLIC ENTRY AND

1:31:55EXIT DURING THESE ALLOWED USE

1:31:57HOURS. THE NEIGHBORHOOD USE

1:31:58UNDER THIS CONDITION IS SUBJECT

1:32:00TO AND SUPERSEDED BY

1:32:02CONFLICTING SCHOOL USES, OF

1:32:04COURSE, AND USES THAT HAVE BEEN

1:32:06SCHEDULED FOR THESE FACILITIES

1:32:07UNDER THE WPS CIVIC USE OF

1:32:09BUILDINGS PROGRAM. THE REST OF

1:32:11THIS CONDITION TALKS ABOUT WPS,

1:32:13RESERVING THE RIGHT TO SECURE

1:32:14THE ENTIRE CAMPUS AND THESE

1:32:17FIELDS FOR VANDALISM. EMERGENCY,

1:32:20A SAFETY INCIDENT FOR THE TERM

1:32:21OF THAT INCIDENT. SO IF WE'RE

1:32:23HAVING REPEATED VANDALISM LIKE

1:32:25THIS CAMPUS HAS SUFFERED WITH

1:32:27STOLEN BASEBALL EQUIPMENT AND

1:32:30DONUTS ON THE TRACK, WE'RE ABLE

1:32:32TO CONTROL THE CAMPUS REBOOT

1:32:34AND SEE WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON

1:32:36AND FIGURE OUT WAYS TO PRECLUDE

1:32:37THAT USE. AND OF COURSE, WE'RE

1:32:39GOING TO RETAIN THE RIGHT TO

1:32:40EXCLUDE A MEMBER OF THE PUBLIC

1:32:42WHO ISN'T BEHAVING ACCORDING TO

1:32:43WPS RULES AND POLICIES WITH

1:32:46THIS CONDITION. IT IS A

1:32:48COMPLETE RESPONSE TO THE

1:32:50APPELLANT'S REQUEST, AND WPS

1:32:52ASKED THE COUNCIL TO

1:32:54AFFIRMATIVELY ADOPT THIS

1:32:55CONDITION OF APPROVAL IN ITS

1:32:57DECISION TODAY AS AN AMENDMENT

1:32:59TO THE HEARINGS OFFICER'S

1:33:00DECISION. SECOND, APPELLANT IS

1:33:03ASKING FOR THIS FIFTH PUBLIC

1:33:05EASEMENT FOR BIKE ACCESS IN

1:33:07PARKING LOT AND DRIVEWAY. AND I

1:33:09THINK THERE'S ONE THING I CAN

1:33:10AGREE WITH KEITH LYDON ON,

1:33:12WHICH IS IT HAS BEEN CONFUSING.

1:33:14IT HAS EMERGED AND EVOLVED.

1:33:16THIS IS NOT THE FIRST

1:33:18APPLICATION ON THIS ON THIS IN

1:33:19THIS PROCESS, IT WENT THROUGH

1:33:21THE DESIGN COMMISSION. THE

1:33:22DESIGN COMMISSION ACTUALLY MADE

1:33:24SIGNIFICANT CHANGES TO OUR

1:33:26APPLICATION WITH REGARDS TO

1:33:28DRIVEWAY, AND WE RESPONDED TO

1:33:30THOSE AS WE FILED OUR

1:33:32CONDITIONAL USE APPLICATION. SO

1:33:33THE PROCESS ACTUALLY WORKED THE

1:33:35WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO

1:33:37ITERATIVELY AND RESPONSIVELY TO

1:33:39FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT FROM THE

1:33:40DESIGN COMMISSION. FIRST, THIS

1:33:43DRIVEWAY WHICH IS SHOWN HERE.

1:33:44RICKY DRIVEWAY. IT IS ENTIRELY

1:33:47ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. IT IS NOT

1:33:49A PUBLIC STREET. IT IS A

1:33:51PARKING LOT. IT IS A DRIVE

1:33:53AISLE IN THE SCHOOL PARKING LOT

1:33:54BETWEEN TWO ROWS OF HEAD IN

1:33:57PARKING FOR VISITORS AND STAFF.

1:33:58AND IF YOU CAN. YEAH, PERFECT.

1:34:00THIS ONE AT ITS MIDPOINT. AS

1:34:01YOU'VE HEARD, THE DRIVEWAY WILL

1:34:03BE TERMINATED WITH BOLLARDS.

1:34:04THIS WAS PROPOSED SPECIFICALLY

1:34:06BY THE DESIGN COMMISSION AFTER

1:34:08THEY OBSERVED WATCHING THEIR

1:34:11GRANDKIDS. I THINK THEY SAID,

1:34:12PLAYING ON ONE OF THE FIELDS

1:34:13AND WATCHING PEOPLE TRY TO

1:34:15CROSS THIS DRIVEWAY. IT WAS

1:34:16REQUESTED BY THEM TO PROTECT

1:34:18ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS FROM

1:34:20INTERSECTING WITH CARS OR FAST

1:34:22BIKES. AS THE ELEMENTARY

1:34:24STUDENTS WALK ACROSS RICKY

1:34:25DRIVE TO AND FROM SCHOOL, BOTH

1:34:28CITY STAFF. IN THE NEXT SLIDE

1:34:30AND THE HEARINGS OFFICER

1:34:31CONCLUDED THAT THE ALTERNATIVE

1:34:33BIKE PATHS LOCATED ON THE EAST

1:34:35SIDE OF THE DRIVEWAY AND ALONG

1:34:36THE EASTERN EDGE OF CAMPUS THAT

1:34:38YOU SEE IN BLUE, WILL PROVIDE

1:34:40SAFER AND EQUIVALENT BIKE

1:34:41ACCESS THROUGH CAMPUS. NOBODY'S

1:34:44MENTIONED THIS RULE, BUT I WILL

1:34:46HERE BECAUSE IT'S PIVOTAL IN

1:34:48HOW YOU TALK ABOUT RICKY DRIVE.

1:34:50APPELLANT'S REQUEST IS BASED ON

1:34:51THE CITY'S RULES GOVERNING

1:34:53MAJOR PUBLIC TRAILS. THIS IS

1:34:55ACTUALLY A TRAIL DESIGNATION,

1:34:57RIGHT WHERE WE'VE PUT THE

1:34:59EASEMENT ALONG THE SIDEWALK ON

1:35:01THE EAST SIDE OF RICKY DRIVE.

1:35:03THE TRAIL DESIGNATION IS MAPPED

1:35:05JUST THERE ALONG THAT EAST SIDE

1:35:07OF THE DRIVEWAY, AND THAT IS

1:35:09WHERE WE HAVE THE RICKY DRIVE

1:35:10THE PATH. THE SCHOOL PROPERTY

1:35:12HAS THREE ZONES I R, D, R SEVEN

1:35:15AND OS. THE MAPPED TRAIL COVERS

1:35:17ALL THREE OF THOSE ZONES. THE

1:35:19MAJOR PUBLIC TRAIL STANDARDS

1:35:21ARE NOT TRIGGERED IN THE R

1:35:23SEVEN ZONE, UNLESS WE ARE

1:35:25APPLYING FOR A PLANNED

1:35:27DEVELOPMENT OR SUBDIVISION.

1:35:29NEITHER OF THOSE APPLICATIONS

1:35:30ARE REQUESTED HERE. SO THESE

1:35:32TRAIL RULES THAT ARE BEING USED

1:35:34AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHY WE NEED TO

1:35:36WIDEN THE PATH OR PUT IT IN THE

1:35:38MIDDLE OF THE PARKING LOT ARE

1:35:40NOT TRIGGERED BECAUSE WE'RE NOT

1:35:41ASKING FOR A PLANNED

1:35:43DEVELOPMENT OR A SUBDIVISION IN

1:35:46THE O S AND IRD ZONE. THE TRAIL

1:35:48ALSO CUTS ACROSS SOME OF THOSE.

1:35:51THOSE TRAIL STANDARDS ARE ONLY

1:35:52TRIGGERED BY YOUR ADOPTED

1:35:55PROPORTIONALITY RULE. THAT

1:35:56PROPORTIONALITY RULE, WHICH YOU

1:35:57SEE HERE, IS A CLEAR AND

1:35:59OBJECTIVE FORMULA THAT

1:36:01CALIBRATES THE TRAIL

1:36:03REQUIREMENTS. IN OTHER WORDS,

1:36:04WHERE THIS TRAIL OR EASEMENT

1:36:06WILL GO IN THE DRIVE AISLE OR A

1:36:07WIDENED TRAIL BASED ON THE NEW

1:36:10IMPACTS CREATED BY THE PROPOSAL,

1:36:12THE CITY APPLIES THESE FACTORS

1:36:14TO DETERMINE IF AN EASEMENT CAN

1:36:16BE REQUESTED OR TRAIL WIDENING

1:36:17CAN BE REQUIRED. THERE'S THREE

1:36:19FACTORS. ONE IS PERCENT OF

1:36:21IMPACT, AND THAT IS OBJECTIVELY

1:36:23DEFINED IN YOUR CODE AS THE

1:36:24NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL DAILY OR

1:36:26PED TRIPS. WE DON'T HAVE A

1:36:29SINGLE ADDITIONAL DAILY OR PED

1:36:31TRIP. SO WHEN YOU THEN ADD THAT

1:36:33TO THE PERCENTAGE OF THE

1:36:35EASEMENT LENGTH, AND THEN IN

1:36:36FACTOR THREE, DIVIDE ONE BY TWO,

1:36:38YOU COME UP WITH ZERO AND

1:36:41ANYTHING UNDER 0.33 IN YOUR

1:36:43ADOPTED RULE SAYS YOU CAN'T

1:36:45REQUIRE WIDENING AND YOU CAN'T

1:36:47REQUIRE A NEW TRAIL. THIS MEANS

1:36:50THAT AS A MATTER OF LAW, WHERE

1:36:52ARE WE? WE CAN'T BE REQUIRED TO

1:36:54WIDEN IT, AND WE CAN'T BE

1:36:55REQUIRED TO PUT A DEDICATION

1:36:56THROUGH THE PARKING LOT. WE'LL

1:36:59GET BACK TO HOW WE'RE DEALING

1:37:00WITH THAT. IN TERMS OF THE

1:37:02WIDENING AT THE END OF THE

1:37:04LEGAL ANALYSIS, THE

1:37:05TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PLAN. IT

1:37:07LEADS TO THE SAME RESULT. THE

1:37:09TSP ONLY APPLIES TO PUBLIC

1:37:11STREETS. WE DON'T HAVE A PUBLIC

1:37:13STREET. WE HAVE A PARKING LOT

1:37:14FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DROP OFF

1:37:16AND PICK UP. AND LASTLY, UNDER

1:37:21815105B2B. THE CITY HAS A

1:37:22PROPORTIONALITY RULE AND THAT

1:37:24PROPORTIONALITY RULE SAYS,

1:37:26GENERALLY SPEAKING, THAT YOU

1:37:28MEASURE THE MITIGATION THAT

1:37:29YOU'RE ALLOWED TO LEGALLY

1:37:30REQUEST BASED ON THE MAGNITUDE

1:37:32OF YOUR IMPACT. CITY STAFF AND

1:37:34THIS RECORD DEMONSTRATES, WITH

1:37:38NO REBUTTAL EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER,

1:37:40THAT THERE IS NO NEW IMPACT

1:37:42CREATED. AND THEREFORE THE

1:37:45PROPORTIONALITY RULE DOESN'T

1:37:46ALLOW WIDENING AND IT DOESN'T

1:37:48ALLOW THE NEW EASEMENT. THIS

1:37:49DOESN'T MEAN, OF COURSE, THAT

1:37:50WE'RE NOT PROVIDING AMPLE

1:37:51PUBLIC ACCESS. AS YOU CAN SEE

1:37:53THROUGH THE SLIDES WE ARE

1:37:55PROVIDING. NEXT SLIDE. THE

1:37:56AMPLE PUBLIC ACCESS. THE

1:37:59COMPLAINT SEEMS TO BE THAT THE

1:38:01PATH ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE

1:38:02PARKING LOT IS CONSTRAINED FOR

1:38:04BIKES. BUT IF THAT'S THE

1:38:07COMPLAINT, CONSIDER THE

1:38:08FOLLOWING. BIKES HAVE AN

1:38:10ALTERNATIVE ROUTE OF FIRST AND

1:38:12FOREMOST, AROUND THE ENTIRE

1:38:13PERIMETER OF THE CAMPUS IN A.

1:38:15IN A WIDER SWATH, THEY CAN TAKE

1:38:18THAT ALTERNATIVE ROUTE, AND

1:38:19THERE THEY DON'T INTERSECT WITH

1:38:21ELEMENTARY STUDENTS TRYING TO

1:38:22CROSS THE PARKING LOT. AND IF

1:38:24THE ARGUMENT IS THAT IT'S TOO

1:38:26BUSY, THEY CAN TAKE THE EASTERN

1:38:28ROUTE OR SIMPLY JUST NOT USE

1:38:30THIS ROUTE. DURING THE ARRIVAL

1:38:32AND DEPARTURE TIMES OF

1:38:34ELEMENTARY STUDENTS, WHICH IS A

1:38:35VERY LIMITED PORTION OF THE DAY.

1:38:38THIS IS, AFTER ALL, A SCHOOL

1:38:40CAMPUS FIRST AND FOREMOST. AND

1:38:42I HEARD THE ARGUMENT THAT THE

1:38:44RICKY PATHWAY IS TOO NARROW. IT

1:38:46IS NOT. IT ACTUALLY RANGES IN

1:38:48WIDTH FROM 7FT TO 12FT. AND

1:38:51WE'LL PUT THIS MEASURED, SCALED

1:38:53DIAGRAM INTO THE RECORD WITH

1:38:55MOST OF THE PATH OVER EIGHT

1:38:57FEET. THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE

1:38:58RICKY PATH IS WIDER THAN TWO

1:39:01PAVED BIKE ROUTES ONE IN

1:39:02GABRIEL PARK, ONE IN SOUTH

1:39:04SELLWOOD PARK, BOTH OF WHICH

1:39:05ALLOW BIKE ACCESS. SO THE RICKY.

1:39:09IN SHORT, THE MAJOR PUBLIC

1:39:11TRAIL RULES DO NOT REQUIRE

1:39:13ANYTHING. HERE WE ARE PROVIDING

1:39:15THE RICKY PATH. IT'S WIDE

1:39:16ENOUGH AND THERE'S AN

1:39:18ALTERNATIVE ROUTE TO THE EAST.

1:39:19IF SOMEONE FEELS CONSTRAINED AS

1:39:21A MATTER OF LAW, WE'RE NOT

1:39:23REQUIRED TO GRANT ANYTHING MORE.

1:39:24AND AS A MATTER OF DESIGN, WE

1:39:26BELIEVE WE'VE PROVIDED THE KIND

1:39:28OF BIKE PED AND VEHICULAR

1:39:30ACCESS THAT BOTH ALLOWS A

1:39:32PERMEABLE CAMPUS FOR THE

1:39:34COMMUNITY AND ALLOWS P. S TO

1:39:36SECURE ITS CAMPUS AND HAVE THE

1:39:38ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

1:39:40OPERATING SAFELY WITHIN THAT

1:39:42DRIVEWAY. I'M GOING TO MOVE

1:39:43THEN TO THE IMPROVEMENTS ALONG

1:39:46BURLINGAME. I THINK THERE'S

1:39:47BEEN QUITE A BIT OF

1:39:48MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT THIS.

1:39:49AND AGAIN, THESE ARE LINE

1:39:51DRAWINGS. THEY'RE COMPLICATED.

1:39:52I HAVE TO LOOK AT THEM A LONG

1:39:54TIME TO AND THEN MAKE A BUNCH

1:39:56OF CALLS TO THE ARCHITECT TO

1:39:57TRY TO FIGURE THEM OUT. BUT

1:39:59BASICALLY WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE

1:40:00IS THERE'S A SPUR. THE ONLY

1:40:02THING THAT'S BEING CLOSED IS A

1:40:04SPUR TRAIL OFF THE EXISTING

1:40:07WALKING PATH. SO THE SPUR TRAIL

1:40:10IS RIGHT AT THE CURVE IN THE

1:40:11UPPER RIGHT CORNER HERE. THAT

1:40:13LITTLE SPUR TRAIL IS BEING

1:40:15CLOSED. WE ARE NOT REMOVING THE

1:40:19EXISTING WALKING PATH THAT WILL

1:40:21GO TO A NEW, IMPROVED SINGLE

1:40:24ACCESS POINT IN A MUCH SAFER

1:40:26LOCATION AWAY FROM THE CURB.

1:40:28AND THIS WILL BE A RAISED

1:40:31SIDEWALK, TABLE, SIDEWALK THEY

1:40:32CALL IT, WITH A MUCH BETTER AND

1:40:36FIRMER ENTRANCE IN INTO THE

1:40:38CAMPUS. SO ALSO, WHAT'S

1:40:40IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS IS

1:40:43AS PART OF THIS WHOLE

1:40:44REDEVELOPMENT, WE'RE LOOKING AT

1:40:45LIKE THE EXISTING CONDITION IN

1:40:47THOSE PHOTOS AND THE

1:40:49REDEVELOPMENT. THIS IS BEING

1:40:51REORGANIZED. SO THE CAMPUS, THE

1:40:53BUILDING WILL ACTUALLY END UP

1:40:54FRONTING VERMONT, NOT BACK

1:40:56TOWARDS BURLINGAME WHERE IT IS

1:40:58NOW. AND THERE WILL BE A NUMBER

1:41:02OF IMPROVEMENTS, A NEW

1:41:04CROSSWALKS, ADA ACCESS RAMPS

1:41:05AND THE LIKE AROUND AND ALONG

1:41:08THE VERMONT FRONTAGE. AGAIN,

1:41:10I'M SURE YOU'RE PROBABLY TIRED

1:41:12OF HEARING THE PROPORTIONALITY

1:41:13STANDARD, BUT THIS IS A

1:41:16REQUIRED CODE STANDARD, AND THE

1:41:20TRANSPORTATION STAFF EVALUATED

1:41:22WHETHER OR NOT WE HAVE ANY

1:41:23ADDITIONAL TRIPS OR ADDITIONAL

1:41:25IMPACT. WE DO NOT. AND BECAUSE

1:41:27WE DON'T HAVE THAT, THERE CAN

1:41:29BE NO REQUIREMENT THAT WE

1:41:32IMPROVE A NEW STREET ALONG THE

1:41:35FRONTAGE OF THE CAMPUS, BECAUSE

1:41:36WE DON'T HAVE ANY IMPACT TO

1:41:37THAT STREET. ARE WE MAINTAINING

1:41:40SAFE PASSAGE THERE AND NOT

1:41:41REMOVING THE EXISTING PATH? WE

1:41:44ARE. WE'RE ONLY REMOVING THE

1:41:46LITTLE SPUR TRAIL THAT IS RIGHT

1:41:48ON THE CURVE AND BECOMES A

1:41:50PROBLEM WITH SIGHT, DISTANCE

1:41:54AND SAFETY. SO THE BURLINGAME

1:41:57IMPROVEMENTS MAY BE DESIRABLE.

1:41:59THE COMMUNITY MAY WANT THEM,

1:42:02BUT THEY CAN'T BE IMPOSED ON P

1:42:04S AS A MATTER OF LAW, WE

1:42:06SUPPORT AND WILL COLLABORATE

1:42:07WITH ANY CITY EFFORT TO IMPROVE

1:42:10THE PEDESTRIAN ENVIRONMENT ON

1:42:12BURLINGAME AND P. S WILL MAKE

1:42:14OUR PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT OF THE

1:42:15CROSSING INTO THE SCHOOL

1:42:17GROUNDS AND MERGE OUR EFFORT

1:42:19WITH ANY CITY EFFORTS ALONG

1:42:21BURLINGAME. FINALLY, IN THIS,

1:42:25MAYBE WE CAN GO TO THE FINAL

1:42:26RENDERING. P. S IS PROVIDING

1:42:28THE ADDITIONAL OPEN SPACE

1:42:30ACCESS THAT THE APPELLANT

1:42:31REQUESTS. WITH THE NEW

1:42:32CONDITION OF APPROVAL, WE'VE

1:42:34OFFERED FOR NEW PUBLIC

1:42:35EASEMENTS. AS PART OF THE

1:42:37APPLICATION, WE'RE IMPROVING

1:42:38THE PUBLIC POOL BUILDING WITH

1:42:39ENHANCED ACCESS. WE'RE

1:42:41PRESERVING AND MAINTAINING THE

1:42:42LOCATION FOR THE FARMERS MARKET.

1:42:44WE'RE LIGHTING THE FIELDS FOR

1:42:46EXTENDED USE, INCLUDING PUBLIC

1:42:47USE. WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE

1:42:49THE CIVIC USE OF BUILDINGS

1:42:50PROGRAM THAT PERMITS SCHEDULED

1:42:51PUBLIC USE IN NON-SCHOOL HOURS.

1:42:53AND AS THE STAFF AND HEARINGS

1:42:55OFFICER FOUND, THIS MORE THAN

1:42:57SATISFIES THE APPROVAL CRITERIA.

1:42:59SO WE'RE REQUESTING THAT THE

1:43:00CITY COUNCIL DENY THE APPEAL

1:43:02AND ADOPT THE ADDITIONAL PUBLIC

1:43:04ACCESS CONDITION. BECAUSE I

1:43:05HAVE SOME TIME, I WOULD LIKE TO

1:43:08ADDRESS A GOOD NEIGHBOR

1:43:09AGREEMENT AND WHAT THAT MEANS.

1:43:10THE ADOPTED CODE IS A GOOD

1:43:12NEIGHBOR AGREEMENT. IT APPLIES

1:43:14EQUALLY ACROSS THE CITY. IT

1:43:16CONTAINS IMPACT STANDARDS THAT

1:43:17MUST BE MET. WE'VE MET THOSE

1:43:19STANDARDS, THE APPROVAL AND ITS

1:43:22CONDITION. I THINK THIS IS THE

1:43:23IMPORTANT THING, THIS APPROVAL

1:43:25AND ALL THE CONDITIONS OF

1:43:26APPROVAL THEY RUN WITH THE LAND.

1:43:28THEY'RE GOING TO BE RECORDED IN

1:43:30THE ASSESSOR'S RECORDS. AND THE

1:43:32CITY HAS ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY

1:43:33OVER THOSE CONDITIONS. IT WILL

1:43:35NOT MATTER WHAT ADMINISTRATION

1:43:37IS IN PLACE. IT WILL NOT MATTER

1:43:39IF THERE'S A NEW STAFF MEMBER

1:43:41WHO WOULD CHOOSE TO CLOSE THE

1:43:42GATE. THESE ARE ENFORCEABLE

1:43:45CONDITIONS RECORDED AGAINST THE

1:43:46LAND, AND THAT'S HOW THE CITY

1:43:48STRUCTURES LAND USE ENFORCEMENT,

1:43:50ENFORCEMENT THROUGH THE CODE

1:43:51AND NOT THROUGH GOOD NEIGHBOR

1:43:52AGREEMENTS THAT ARE GENERALLY

1:43:54UNENFORCEABLE. I ALSO WANT TO

1:43:56ADDRESS THE FENCES. MAYBE YOU

1:43:58DON'T LIKE THE FENCES. MAYBE

1:43:59YOU FIND FENCES ATROCIOUS. I

1:44:02UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A

1:44:03MYRIAD OF OPINIONS. THE FENCES

1:44:05ARE NOT A CONDITIONAL USE. THE

1:44:07FENCES ARE A USE PERMITTED

1:44:09OUTRIGHT ON THIS CAMPUS, AND WE

1:44:10COULD BUILD THE FENCE TOMORROW

1:44:12WITHOUT ANY OBJECTIONS. THESE

1:44:15FENCES ARE CRITICAL. SAFETY

1:44:17PROTOCOL FOR P S. WE CANNOT

1:44:20BUILD A MODERNIZED CAMPUS

1:44:22WITHOUT THESE FENCES. EVERY

1:44:24MODERNIZED CAMPUS HAS GOTTEN

1:44:25THESE FENCES. LINCOLN HAS THEM,

1:44:27JEFFERSON HAS THEM, CLEVELAND

1:44:29HAS THEM. AND UNFORTUNATELY, WE

1:44:30HAVE A TERRIBLE EXAMPLE TODAY

1:44:33IN BEND OF AN ACTIVE SHOOTER ON

1:44:35AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CAMPUS

1:44:36WITH PEOPLE INJURED, AND THEY

1:44:38COULDN'T EXCLUDE THE PERSON. WE

1:44:39ARE NOT MESSING AROUND WITH OUR

1:44:41FENCES. THEY'RE PERMITTED

1:44:43OUTRIGHT. WE CAN INSTALL THEM.

1:44:44THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH

1:44:45THIS CONDITIONAL USE. AND I

1:44:47MIGHT MENTION TO YOU THAT IF

1:44:49YOU LOOK AT THE KIND OF VISION

1:44:51THAT IS UP HERE, AND THAT IS A

1:44:53DESIGN REVIEW RENDERING FROM

1:44:55THE DESIGN REVIEW PROCESS, YOU

1:44:57CAN SEE THESE FENCES DON'T LOOK

1:44:58LIKE A PRISON, AND THE FENCES

1:45:01ACTUALLY ALLOW THE KIDS TO FEEL

1:45:03SAFE. AND THE FENCES AND THE

1:45:05GATES WILL BE OPEN TO THE

1:45:07PUBLIC IN A WAY THAT MANAGES

1:45:09THE ESSENTIAL NEEDS OF THE

1:45:11SCHOOL FOR SCHOOL SAFETY, BUT

1:45:13ALSO ALLOWS REASONABLE PUBLIC

1:45:15ACCESS. THANK YOU.

1:45:18>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH,

1:45:21COLLEAGUES. WE HAVE TIME NOW

1:45:22FOR TECHNICAL OR CLARIFYING

1:45:24QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT.

1:45:27AND THEN AFTER WE FINISH THAT,

1:45:28WE WILL TAKE A QUICK RECESS FOR

1:45:31A BATHROOM BREAK. COUNCILOR

1:45:32ZIMMERMAN.

1:45:35>> THANK YOU. I MISSED YOUR

1:45:36NAME. CAN YOU SAY THAT?

1:45:38>> CHRISTY WHITE CHRISTY.

1:45:39>> HI. SO SETTING ASIDE ON THE

1:45:41I THINK IT'S ISSUE NUMBER TWO.

1:45:42IT'S THE ACCESS POINT ON THE

1:45:44CORNER THERE.

1:45:44>> YES, YES.

1:45:46>> SETTING ASIDE THE SIDEWALK

1:45:49ASPECT OF THAT.

1:45:50>> YES.

1:45:52>> THERE CURRENTLY IS ON YOUR

1:45:55MAP, YOU SHOW THERE IS THE MORE

1:45:58DESIRABLE TRAIL ACCESS INTO

1:46:00CAMPUS. BUT THEN THERE IS WHAT

1:46:01I WOULD SAY IS THE LESS

1:46:03DESIRABLE, WHICH IS CURRENTLY

1:46:04WHAT LOOKS LIKE AT SOME POINT

1:46:05IN THIS HISTORY. IT WAS A

1:46:07DRIVEWAY FOR CARS, BUT BUT NOW

1:46:09IT'S JUST GATED OFF. BUT IT'S

1:46:10WHERE CLEARLY THERE ARE GOAT

1:46:12TRAILS WHERE PEOPLE HAVE WALKED

1:46:14THROUGH.

1:46:15>> CORRECT.

1:46:16>> I GUESS I'M WHAT I CANNOT

1:46:17TELL FROM ANY OF THE RENDERINGS

1:46:19THAT HAVE BEEN PRESENTED TODAY

1:46:20IS WHAT DOES THE FUTURE OF THAT

1:46:22CORNER LOOK LIKE? AND I ASK IT

1:46:24IN THE FRAME OF WHY IS RPS NOT

1:46:28ADDRESSING THE DESIRE PATH

1:46:31PHENOMENON, WHICH IS LIKE WHY

1:46:33COLLEGE CAMPUSES WAIT TO SEE

1:46:34WHERE EVERYBODY WALKS TO AND

1:46:35THEN THEY PUT PAVEMENT THERE.

1:46:36YEAH. SO THAT CLEARLY IS A

1:46:39DESIRE PATH THAT'S BEEN RUN

1:46:40DOWN TO THE POINT. I DON'T

1:46:41THINK ANYTHING WOULD GROW FOR

1:46:43FIVE YEARS THERE. SO WHAT IS

1:46:44THAT CORNER LOOK LIKE? BECAUSE

1:46:45IT'S NICE THAT YOU'VE SAID 25FT

1:46:47DOWN IS AN ACCESS POINT, BUT I

1:46:50DON'T KNOW HOW VALID IT IS

1:46:52GIVEN THE DESIRE FUNCTION THERE,

1:46:53WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE IN THE

1:46:55CORNER.

1:46:55>> SO THAT CORNER WILL STILL

1:46:56RETAIN THE AREA, THE LET'S CALL

1:46:59IT YOUR GOAT TRAIL. I THINK YOU

1:47:00CALLED IT GOAT TRAIL, LIKE IT'S

1:47:02ABOUT SIX FEET IN WIDTH. WE'RE

1:47:05NOT DEVELOPING IN THE PUBLIC

1:47:06RIGHT OF WAY. SO THE

1:47:08LANDSCAPING IS NOT GOING TO

1:47:09TAKE OVER PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.

1:47:11SO WHAT WHAT HAPPENS IS

1:47:13SOMEBODY AND IT MAY NOT THE

1:47:15PEDESTRIAN COUNTS ARE NOT

1:47:16SIGNIFICANT FOR SCHOOL KIDS ON

1:47:18ON THAT FRONTAGE. THIS MIGHT BE

1:47:19OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.

1:47:21BUT WHEN YOU COME AROUND THAT

1:47:23CORNER, THE DESIRE PATH IS I'M

1:47:25GOING TO TAKE A QUICK LEFT.

1:47:26>> TO GET ONTO CAMPUS.

1:47:28>> RIGHT. BUT IT'S A IT'S A

1:47:30CURVE THAT IS NOT A SAFE CURVE

1:47:31TO INVITE PEOPLE IN AND OUT OF

1:47:34THE CAMPUS ON THAT CURVE. SO

1:47:35AND YOU'RE RIGHT, IT'S TWO

1:47:37POSTS AND A CHAIN, RIGHT? AND

1:47:39SO THAT'S BEING CLOSED OFF. THE

1:47:41PATHWAY IS NOT BEING.

1:47:43>> YOU JUST HELP ME UNDERSTAND

1:47:45WHAT IS CLOSED OFF MEAN.

1:47:46>> MEANING THAT THERE WILL BE A

1:47:47LANDSCAPING AND DEVELOPMENT ON

1:47:48THAT CORNER THAT DOESN'T ALLOW

1:47:52NORMAL PEOPLE TO TAKE A GOAT

1:47:53TRAIL. I MEAN, MAYBE SOMEBODY

1:47:54BREAKS THROUGH THE BUSHES, BUT

1:47:56IT WILL BE LANDSCAPED IN A WAY

1:47:58THAT YOU DON'T HAVE THAT LITTLE

1:48:00SPUR. THAT LITTLE SPUR IS LIKE

1:48:02THREE FEET LONG OR SOMETHING.

1:48:04THAT'S THE PIECE THAT'S BEING

1:48:05CLOSED, NOT INVITING PEOPLE IN

1:48:07AND OUT OF THE CAMPUS ON THAT

1:48:09CORNER. AND INSTEAD THAT WHOLE

1:48:11RIGHT OF WAY FRONTAGE STAYS AS

1:48:13IT IS, NOT FORCING PEOPLE TO

1:48:15WALK INTO THE STREET, AND THEY

1:48:17WILL COME TO A SAFE RAISED

1:48:19TABLE SIDEWALK WITH A BOLLARD

1:48:22ENTRY. NO CARS THERE. CARS

1:48:24CAN'T COME IN THERE. YOU'RE

1:48:25JUST WALKING NOW.

1:48:26>> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WHEN

1:48:27YOU'RE ON CAMPUS, THOUGH.

1:48:28>> NO, OFF RIGHT OFF THE RIGHT

1:48:30OF WAY. SO YOU'RE YOU'RE TAKING

1:48:31THAT LEFT TURN. YOU CAN'T GO IN

1:48:33THIS SPUR. YOU KEEP ON WALKING.

1:48:35IF THIS IS THE WAY YOU'RE

1:48:36WALKING TO SCHOOL AND YOU WILL

1:48:38COME ACROSS A RAISED CROSSWALK

1:48:41BOLLARD DESIGN, NOT JUST POLES

1:48:42WITH A CHAIN ON IT, AND IT WILL

1:48:44FUNNEL YOU INTO THE CAMPUS,

1:48:46CONNECTING WITH THE CAMPUS

1:48:48CONNECTOR TO THE FRONT DOOR OF

1:48:49THE SCHOOL, THE PEDESTRIANS

1:48:51THAT ARE COMING FROM THE OTHER

1:48:52WAY, NOT AROUND THAT CORNER,

1:48:54WILL HAVE A COMPLETELY

1:48:55DIFFERENT ROUTE IN THAT WAY.

1:48:56AND THERE IS ROOM OUTSIDE. SO

1:48:59THIS THE CITY OF PORTLAND DID A

1:49:01TRAFFIC CALMING EXERCISE THERE.

1:49:04MAYBE YOU COULD TALK ABOUT IT

1:49:05BETTER THAN I CAN. AND THE

1:49:07AVERAGE SPEEDS ARE 17 MILES AN

1:49:10HOUR THERE. AND THEN THERE'S A

1:49:14I JUST LEARNED THIS WORD RIGHT

1:49:16BEFORE OUR HEARING. THERE'S TWO

1:49:18CHICANES THAT ARE CURB LIKE

1:49:22DIAGONAL, RIGHT, THAT FORCE

1:49:23CARS TO THE RIGHT SO THAT

1:49:24THEY'RE AWAY FROM THE

1:49:26PEDESTRIANS COMING IN TO THE

1:49:28CAMPUS. SO THE REORGANIZATION

1:49:30OF THE CAMPUS, THE CLOSURE OF

1:49:32WHAT WE THINK IS THAT DANGEROUS

1:49:33LITTLE SPUR AND THE

1:49:35IMPROVEMENTS AT THE MID

1:49:36CONNECTOR, WE THINK ARE GOING

1:49:37TO AT LEAST MAINTAIN AND

1:49:39INCREASE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY.

1:49:42>> OKAY. DESPITE HOW WELL YOU

1:49:47PUT THAT, SOMETHING JUST TELLS

1:49:49ME THAT PEOPLE ARE GOING TO GET

1:49:50ONTO CAMPUS AS QUICKLY AS

1:49:52POSSIBLE. AND THAT UNLESS YOU.

1:49:54SO TO GET RID OF THAT, THAT

1:49:56THAT DESIRED PATH, WHICH IS THE

1:49:58VERY CORNER OF THE LOT. YEAH.

1:50:01SEEMS SOMEWHAT FRUITLESS OR

1:50:05THAT IT WOULD ACTUALLY PUSH

1:50:07PEOPLE A LONGER BURLINGAME. AND

1:50:09THAT'S WHERE I AM GETTING SOME

1:50:10CONCERN THERE WITH. SURE.

1:50:12OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE THE CHICANES

1:50:13THERE FOR A REASON. WE HAVE A

1:50:15REASON TO PUSH CARS AWAY. SO BY,

1:50:17BY NOT BEING ABLE TO GET ONTO

1:50:20CAMPUS, I'LL PUT IT THIS WAY.

1:50:22IT KIND OF SEEMS LIKE A STRANGE

1:50:24HILL TO DIE ON IN TERMS OF THIS

1:50:26CORNER AND THE GOAT TRAIL. LIKE

1:50:27WHAT IS THE MEANING TO P. S

1:50:29DEVELOPMENT IN TERMS OF WHAT IS

1:50:31CHANGING SO SIGNIFICANTLY THAT

1:50:33YOU GUYS WOULD WANT TO ADDRESS

1:50:34IT? I'M MISSING THAT A.

1:50:35>> LITTLE BIT. RIGHT. AND MAYBE

1:50:38I MAYBE WE'RE BOTH MISSING IT,

1:50:40BUT I UNDERSTAND THE DESIRE

1:50:42PATH. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THAT

1:50:45IS A LANDSCAPED CORNER NOW. AND

1:50:48IT IS, I DON'T WANT TO CALL IT

1:50:50A BLIND CURVE BECAUSE I'M NOT

1:50:52SURE IT IS A BLIND CURVE AS

1:50:53THAT'S DEFINED.

1:50:55>> BUT IT IT'S NOT WIDE OPEN,

1:50:57THOUGH. IT'S A LITTLE TIGHT.

1:50:58>> IT'S, IT'S TIGHT. AND, AND

1:51:01THERE MAY BE A GOAT TRAIL THERE

1:51:03UNDER THE CURRENT ORGANIZATION

1:51:04OF THE SCHOOL WHERE IT'S CLOSER

1:51:05TO GET TO THE FRONT DOOR IF

1:51:07YOU'RE COMING ALONG. BURLINGAME.

1:51:08THE NEW MAIN ENTRIES ON VERMONT.

1:51:11SO THIS WILL ACTUALLY CHANGE

1:51:13WHETHER IT'S A DESIRE PATH, THE

1:51:16DESIRE PATH IS MORE LIKELY FROM

1:51:18AREAS FURTHER TO THE WEST

1:51:22RATHER THAN AROUND THAT CORNER

1:51:24ON BURLINGAME.

1:51:24>> OKAY. AND I'LL JUST SIGNAL

1:51:29FOR COLLEAGUES WITH I, I PLAN

1:51:32TO ADOPT THE PROPOSED

1:51:33CONDITIONS THAT WERE PRESENTED

1:51:34BY THE APPLICANT. IN THIS CASE,

1:51:36I FOUND THEM TO BE AN

1:51:39IMPROVEMENT. FYI. THAT'S ALL

1:51:42FOR MY QUESTIONS.

1:51:43>> THANK YOU. COUNSELOR

1:51:44ZIMMERMAN VICE PRESIDENT CLERK.

1:51:46>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

1:51:47HI, CHRISTIE. HI. COULD YOU

1:51:49JUST YOU REFERENCED THE

1:51:51RESERVATION SYSTEM. THE

1:51:53RESERVATION SYSTEM? YEAH,

1:51:54THAT'S FOR GETTING ON AND OFF

1:51:56CAMPUS. OR ARE YOU IS YOUR

1:51:58COMPROMISE DOING AWAY WITH THE

1:52:00RESERVATION SYSTEM?

1:52:00>> NO. IT'S BOTH. SO THE CIVIC

1:52:02USE OF BUILDINGS PROGRAM

1:52:03APPLIES DISTRICT WIDE. AND IT

1:52:05MOSTLY APPLIES TO LIKE

1:52:06RECREATION LEAGUES USE IT. THEY

1:52:08WANT TO BE SURE THE FIELD IS

1:52:09RESERVED FOR THEM. SO THEY HAVE

1:52:11A CALENDAR POSTED ONLINE. YOU

1:52:12GO ON AND SIGN UP AND SAY, I

1:52:14WANT TO USE THE MULTI-PURPOSE

1:52:15FIELD AT RICKEY ON TUESDAY AND

1:52:17THURSDAY NIGHTS FROM THIS TIME

1:52:19TO THIS TIME AND SAYS, OKAY,

1:52:20THERE'S NO SCHOOL USE SIGN UP

1:52:22THAT WILL BE MAINTAINED. AND I

1:52:24DON'T THINK ANY NEIGHBORHOOD

1:52:27APPELLANT OR ANYBODY ELSE IS

1:52:28ASKING US TO REMOVE THAT

1:52:29BECAUSE IT'S ANOTHER

1:52:31OPPORTUNITY. ALL WE'RE SAYING

1:52:33IS, IF YOU WANT TO COME ONTO

1:52:35THE TRACK, FOR EXAMPLE, AND

1:52:37THERE'S A TRACK MEET FOR THE

1:52:40TRACK MEET SUPERSEDES YOUR

1:52:42ABILITY TO USE IT. SO BOTH ARE

1:52:45MAINTAINED.

1:52:45>> OKAY, BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

1:52:47IF THE GATES ARE OPEN, YOU

1:52:48DON'T HAVE TO KNOW.

1:52:49>> THE NEIGHBORS DON'T HAVE TO

1:52:51SIGN UP.

1:52:51>> I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU

1:52:53UNDERSTOOD.

1:52:54>> RESERVATION SYSTEM. YEAH.

1:52:55THEY DO NOT HAVE TO USE THE

1:52:56CIVIC USE OF BUILDINGS PROGRAM

1:52:57UNLESS THEY PUT A LEAGUE

1:52:59TOGETHER THAT NEEDS THE FIELD

1:53:00RESERVED.

1:53:00>> THANK YOU. THAT'S THE ONLY

1:53:02QUESTION I HAD.

1:53:03>> THANK YOU, VICE PRESIDENT

1:53:04CLARK. COUNCILOR RYAN, LAST

1:53:05LAST QUESTION.

1:53:05>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

1:53:07HELLO, CHRISTINE. I'M NOT USED

1:53:09TO WHAT I THINK HAPPENED. SO

1:53:10LET ME SAY THIS. SO THE

1:53:12APPELLANT THEY WANT TO HAVE

1:53:14ACCESS DURING THE SCHOOL HOURS

1:53:16OR OFF SCHOOL HOURS SORRY.

1:53:17>> OFF SCHOOL HOURS.

1:53:18>> AND DID THE APPLICANT THAT

1:53:19BE YOU REPRESENTING THE

1:53:21APPLICANT PROVIDE NEW

1:53:23CONDITIONS.

1:53:23>> YES.

1:53:24>> OKAY. JUST MEET THAT NEED.

1:53:26WANT TO MEET THAT NEED OF THEIR

1:53:28REQUEST. BECAUSE WHAT I THOUGHT

1:53:29I HEARD FROM YOU IS THAT YOU

1:53:32SAID ACCESS FROM 6 TO 8 A.M.

1:53:36>> YES.

1:53:37>> AND THEN IT'S 5 TO 9 ON

1:53:39EVENINGS.

1:53:39>> YES.

1:53:40>> AND THEN 6 A.M. TO 9 P.M. ON

1:53:42WEEKENDS?

1:53:42>> YES. AND NON-SCHOOL DAYS,

1:53:44BECAUSE THERE'LL BE SUMMER AND,

1:53:46YOU KNOW, CHRISTMAS VACATION.

1:53:48>> ALL OF.

1:53:48>> THAT, ALL OF THAT'S IN THE

1:53:50CONDITION.

1:53:50>> AND SO THIS IS NEW. I'VE

1:53:52BEEN TO A FEW OF THESE AND I'M

1:53:54NOT USED TO.

1:53:55>> THIS IS.

1:53:56>> NEW CONDITIONS COMING FROM

1:53:57THE APPLICANT.

1:53:58>> YEAH. AND I THINK.

1:54:00>> MUCH OF THE NEED. SO WOW.

1:54:02BRAVO TO THE APPELLANT. SO IS

1:54:04THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

1:54:06>> THAT IS WHAT'S HAPPENING

1:54:07RIGHT NOW. IMAGINE THAT. WELL

1:54:10AND THIS IS CAN I EXPLAIN WHY

1:54:12THIS IS THE APPROPRIATE TIME

1:54:13FOR THIS?

1:54:14>> I ALWAYS LEARN A LOT FROM

1:54:15YOU.

1:54:16>> I MEAN, THIS IS ACTUALLY

1:54:17DOES HAPPEN QUITE REGULARLY TO,

1:54:19TO GET TO RESOLUTION AND

1:54:20PROPOSE A CONDITION. IN THE

1:54:22PAST I KNOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED.

1:54:24YEAH.

1:54:24>> NOT THE LAST SIX YEARS.

1:54:25>> YEAH. RIGHT. EXACTLY. BUT

1:54:27THE THING THAT'S IMPORTANT HERE

1:54:30IS THIS TOOK A LOT OF INTERNAL

1:54:33DISCUSSION. THERE ARE A LOT OF

1:54:34DIFFERENT OPINIONS ABOUT

1:54:35WHETHER THIS SHOULD BE ALLOWED

1:54:37AT ALL. THERE ARE SOME THAT

1:54:39WOULD SAY THIS ISN'T SAFE, OR

1:54:40SOME THAT SAY WE CAN DO IT

1:54:42UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES,

1:54:43RIGHT. SO WE HAVE TAKEN A VERY

1:54:45DELIBERATE ROLE IN TRYING TO

1:54:48FIGURE OUT WHAT THE RIGHT

1:54:49LANGUAGE IS WHILE BEING

1:54:50COMPLETELY RESPONSIVE. SO

1:54:52THAT'S NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TWO

1:54:54IS THIS IS THE FORUM FOR THAT,

1:54:56BECAUSE WE WANT A CONDITION OF

1:54:58APPROVAL THAT GIVES THEM

1:55:00CERTAINTY AND GIVES US

1:55:01CERTAINTY. WE KNOW WHEN THE

1:55:02GATES OPEN, WHEN THE GATES

1:55:04CLOSED. WE KNOW THE CITY HAS

1:55:06ENFORCEMENT AUTHORITY. WE KNOW

1:55:07IT'S GOING TO BE IN A DOCUMENT

1:55:09THAT'S RECORDED AND RUNS WITH

1:55:10THE LAND, AND THERE'S NO

1:55:11QUESTION ABOUT IT. RIGHT. AND

1:55:14THIS TO BRING FINALITY TO IT IS

1:55:16TO BRING IT TO YOU AND SAY, IF

1:55:18YOU AGREE WITH THIS CONDITION

1:55:20OF APPROVAL, PLEASE IMPOSE IT

1:55:22ON US. WE'RE FINE WITH THAT.

1:55:23AND THEN THIRDLY, I JUST WANT

1:55:25TO SAY, WHICH WAS PROBABLY

1:55:26PRETTY OBVIOUS, THAT IT'S

1:55:28IMPORTANT TO JUST LAY DOWN THE

1:55:29LAW FOR PURPOSES OF PRECEDENT

1:55:32AND FOR PURPOSES OF HOW THIS

1:55:33APPLIES DIFFERENTLY TO

1:55:34DIFFERENT CAMPUSES. IT'S JUST

1:55:36IMPORTANT TO LAY DOWN THE LAW

1:55:37AND SAY, BUT WE'RE OFFERING A

1:55:40VOLUNTARY CONDITION OF APPROVAL.

1:55:42>> OKAY, THAT WAS HELPFUL. AND

1:55:44WORD OF THE DAY. GOAT TRAIL

1:55:47THINK.

1:55:47>> GOAT TRAIL.

1:55:48>> IS THAT WHAT YOU SAID?

1:55:50>> WHAT GOAT TRAIL?

1:55:51>> OH, I KNOW WHAT THEY ARE. I

1:55:52JUST HAVEN'T HEARD IT UP HERE

1:55:54AT THE DAIS BEFORE. YEAH.

1:55:55>> THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU,

1:55:57COUNSELOR. RYAN, THERE ARE NO.

1:55:58WE HAVE EXHAUSTED THE TECHNICAL

1:56:00AND CLARIFYING QUESTIONS IN THE.

1:56:02Q AND TECHNICALLY, CHRISTY, YOU

1:56:05HAVE ABOUT 20S IF YOU WANTED IT.

1:56:08>> I THINK I'LL JUST CONCEDE MY

1:56:09TIME TO TO YOU GUYS.

1:56:11>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH,

1:56:12COLLEAGUES. THE TIME IS

1:56:13CURRENTLY 351 I WE'RE GOING TO

1:56:15USE A QUICK RESTROOM BREAK. AND

1:56:17IF EVERYBODY COULD PLEASE BE

1:56:18BACK AS CLOSE TO 4:00 AS

1:56:20POSSIBLE. THANK YOU.

2:02:34>> DOES THIS TIME WORK FOR YOU?

2:06:09>> THANK YOU ALL. CALLING US

2:06:11BACK TO ORDER HERE. WE ARE NOW

2:06:13MOVING OVER TO SUPPORTERS OF

2:06:14THE APPLICANT, WHO WILL EACH

2:06:16HAVE THREE MINUTES MINUTES

2:06:17APIECE. KEELAN CAN WE PLEASE

2:06:18CALL UP ANY SUPPORTERS OF THE

2:06:20APPLICANTS?

2:06:21>> FIRST UP, WE HAVE KATIE

2:06:22ULRICH. KATIE ULRICH. NEXT WE

2:06:35HAVE JEREMY SHETLER.

2:06:40>> WELCOME. PLEASE INTRODUCE

2:06:44YOURSELF FOR THE RECORD. YOU'RE

2:06:45WELCOME TO SHARE YOUR PRONOUNS.

2:06:46AND YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

2:06:56>> MY NAME IS JEREMY SHETLER.

2:06:58I'M HERE TODAY AS A TEACHER, A

2:07:00COACH, A PARENT, A COMMUNITY

2:07:01MEMBER, AND A PROUD ALUMNI OF

2:07:03THE CLASS OF 1992. I'VE SPENT

2:07:0535 YEARS CALLING 1151 SOUTHWEST

2:07:07VERMONT STREET, MY HOME AWAY

2:07:09FROM HOME. OVER THAT TIME, I'VE

2:07:12BEEN A DEDICATED STUDENT

2:07:13ATHLETE, BASEBALL COACH,

2:07:14WRESTLING COACH, FOOTBALL COACH,

2:07:16CAMPUS MONITOR, CLASSROOM

2:07:18EDUCATOR, DEAN OF STUDENTS, AND

2:07:21PROUD PARENT TO A SOON TO BE

2:07:242027 GRADUATE. I CAN SAY

2:07:27THERE'S NOT ANOTHER PERSON THAT

2:07:29HAS SPENT AS MUCH TIME AS I

2:07:31HAVE TAKING CARE OF THE SCHOOL.

2:07:34THAT CARE INCLUDES EVERY EMAIL

2:07:35I'VE PENNED, OUR CUSTODIAN

2:07:37ADMINISTRATION REPORTING NEW

2:07:38INCIDENTS, EVERY PHOTO THAT

2:07:39I'VE TAKEN FOR EVIDENCE, EVERY

2:07:40TIME I TOOK TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE

2:07:42WHO DIDN'T KNOW DISTRICT

2:07:44POLICIES, NOT TO MENTION THE

2:07:47AMOUNT OF PERSON, THE DOG FECES

2:07:49THAT I'VE HAD TO PERSONALLY

2:07:50PICK UP OFF OF OUR GRASS FIELDS,

2:07:54THE NEW ARTIFICIAL TURF FIELDS

2:07:56ARE A HUGE INVESTMENT. THEY

2:07:58WILL NOT BE A PLACE FOR DOGS.

2:08:05HONESTLY, I'VE WANTED TO CLOSE

2:08:06OUR CAMPUS TO PUBLIC ACCESS FOR

2:08:07A VERY LONG TIME. THE AMOUNT OF

2:08:10VANDALISM THAT I'VE HAD TO DEAL

2:08:12WITH IS STAGGERING. FROM THE

2:08:13AMOUNT OF WORK THAT I'VE HAD TO

2:08:15PUT INTO REPAIRING RESTRINGING,

2:08:18REPAINTING, REPLANTING,

2:08:19RESODDING, RESEEDING, ALL DUE

2:08:22TO THE MISUSE OR INTENTIONAL

2:08:24DAMAGE. IT'S JUST DISHEARTENING

2:08:26FOR ME TO SEE OUR COMMUNITY IS

2:08:29A GREAT COMMUNITY. IF IT WASN'T,

2:08:32I STILL WOULDN'T BE HERE. WE DO

2:08:34HAVE RESPONSIBLE, CONSCIENTIOUS

2:08:36AND VERY HELPFUL COMMUNITY

2:08:38MEMBERS, BUT WE ALSO HAVE

2:08:40ENTITLED NEIGHBORS WHO FEEL

2:08:41THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO OUR

2:08:42SCHOOL PROPERTY WITHOUT

2:08:43RESTRICTION. EVERY PIECE OF

2:08:44GREEN GRASS ON OUR PROPERTY,

2:08:46INCLUDING THE BASEBALL OUTFIELD,

2:08:47HAS BECOME A PSEUDO DOG PARK.

2:08:49EVEN WITH SIGNAGE AND COMMUNITY

2:08:52AGREEMENTS, WE HAVE PEOPLE ON A

2:08:53DAILY BASIS THAT MAKE THE

2:08:55DECISION TO DO WHAT THEY WANT

2:08:56TO DO, INSTEAD OF FOLLOWING RPS

2:08:59POLICIES. REPAIRING VANDALISM

2:09:05TO FACILITIES AND ATHLETIC

2:09:06EQUIPMENT, REMOVING GRAFFITI

2:09:07AND PICKING UP AFTER A DOG

2:09:09SHOULD NOT BE THE JOB TITLE OF

2:09:10A TEACHER OR COACH. OUR

2:09:12STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO COME

2:09:14TO SCHOOL ON MONDAY MORNING TO

2:09:15AN AMAZING CAMPUS, NOT ONE THAT

2:09:16WAS ABUSED OVER THE WEEKEND

2:09:18BECAUSE OF A GROUP OF

2:09:19INDIVIDUALS DID WHATEVER THEY

2:09:20WANTED ON RPS PROPERTY. THIS IS

2:09:23A SCHOOL FIRST AND IT MUST BE

2:09:25ALLOWED TO OPERATE AS A SCHOOL

2:09:26FOR ITS PRIMARY EDUCATIONAL

2:09:28PURPOSE AND FOR THE SAFETY OF

2:09:29THE STUDENTS. WE CANNOT PUT IN

2:09:32A SITUATION WHERE WE ARE FORCED

2:09:34TO MAINTAIN OUR CAMPUS FOR

2:09:35GENERAL PUBLIC PARK USE, ALONG

2:09:38WITH THE WEAR AND TEAR AND

2:09:39VANDALISM THAT CAN COME WITH

2:09:41SUCH AN OPEN AND UNMANAGED USE.

2:09:44THANK YOU.

2:09:45>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

2:09:48>> NEXT UP, WE HAVE MALCOLM

2:09:50SIMONOFF.

2:09:54>> WELCOME.

2:09:54>> THANK YOU. IT'S ACTUALLY.

2:09:56>> ONE OF THE FEW TIMES THAT

2:09:58SIMONOFF WAS PRONOUNCED

2:09:59CORRECTLY. HI, MY NAME IS

2:10:01MALCOLM SIMONOFF. I'M A SCHOOL

2:10:02COUNSELOR AT WELLS HIGH SCHOOL,

2:10:04THE FATHER OF A SIX MONTH OLD

2:10:05SON, MARLEY, WHO WILL ONE DAY

2:10:07BE NINE TO BE WELLS GUARDIAN

2:10:08AND AN ALUMNI ALUMNI MYSELF, I

2:10:10COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHY

2:10:11PEOPLE WANT ACCESS TO THE TRACK.

2:10:12I'M A VERY ACTIVE PERSON AND

2:10:14I'VE USED IT FOR A LONG TIME.

2:10:16WHEN I GO ON VACATION, I'LL

2:10:17LOOK UP THE NEAREST HIGH SCHOOL

2:10:19TO SEE IF THERE'S A TRACK I CAN

2:10:21USE. BUT MORE AND MORE, THOSE

2:10:22FACILITIES ARE BEING LOCKED UP.

2:10:23AND NOW THAT I'M ON THE OTHER

2:10:25SIDE OF THIS ISSUE, I DO

2:10:27UNDERSTAND WHY. WE'RE A SCHOOL

2:10:28OF 1600 STUDENTS AND WERE

2:10:29STAFFED FOR FAR FEWER THAN THAT.

2:10:31UNRESTRICTED FIELD ACCESS

2:10:31CREATES A STAGGERING AMOUNT OF

2:10:33ADDITIONAL WORK FOR MAINTENANCE

2:10:34STAFF. THIS HAS CONSEQUENCES

2:10:35INSIDE THE BUILDING. BATHROOMS

2:10:36AND BATHROOMS AND CLASSROOMS

2:10:37ARE NEVER FULLY CLEANED, AND

2:10:38OUR STUDENTS DESERVE BETTER.

2:10:39BUT AS A SCHOOL COUNSELOR, I

2:10:40WANT TO FOCUS ON WHAT I BELIEVE

2:10:42IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE SAFETY.

2:10:44THERE'S PLENTY OF RESEARCH

2:10:45SHOWING THAT STUDENTS NEED TO

2:10:46FEEL SAFE IN ORDER TO LEARN. IN

2:10:48A SCHOOL OF 1600 STUDENTS,

2:10:50THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF LIFE

2:10:51CIRCUMSTANCES. I WORK WITH

2:10:52STUDENTS WHO HAVE RESTRAINING

2:10:53ORDERS FROM A PARENT OR A

2:10:55STEPPARENT. STUDENTS WHO ARE

2:10:56ACTIVELY, ACTIVELY HIDING FROM

2:10:57A PARENTS EX PARTNER. WE HAVE

2:10:59STUDENTS WHO DON'T HAVE LEGAL

2:11:00STATUS IN THIS COUNTRY, AND

2:11:02WE'VE SEEN THAT SCHOOLS ARE NOT

2:11:03OFF LIMITS TO ICE. JUST

2:11:04YESTERDAY, WE HAD TO SECURE THE

2:11:06PERIMETER BECAUSE OF A REPORT

2:11:07WE RECEIVED ABOUT A PERSON

2:11:08ENTERING OUR CAMPUS. I WAS IN

2:11:10THE CAFETERIA WITH HUNDREDS OF

2:11:11STUDENTS FACING OUR OPEN

2:11:12COURTYARD WITH FLOOR TO CEILING

2:11:13WINDOWS, EVERY CHILD FULLY

2:11:15VISIBLE, KNOWING THAT ANYONE

2:11:17WITH ANYTHING COULD WALK UP TO

2:11:19THOSE WINDOWS. LUCKILY, OUR

2:11:21COURAGEOUS STAFF STOOD BY EACH

2:11:23ENTRANCE AND POLICE RESPONDED

2:11:24QUICKLY AND APPREHENDED THIS

2:11:25PERSON. BUT AS PART OF A

2:11:27CONSTANT REMINDER ABOUT SOME OF

2:11:28THE HORRIFIC THINGS THAT HAPPEN

2:11:29ON OUR SCHOOL CAMPUSES, WE ALSO

2:11:31FOUND OUT LATER THAT THIS

2:11:32PERSON WAS ACTUALLY INSIDE OUR

2:11:34SCHOOL BUILDING. AT ONE POINT,

2:11:36EIGHT OF THE NINE HIGH SCHOOLS

2:11:37ARE NO LONGER GOING TO ALLOW

2:11:39UNRESTRICTED PUBLIC ACCESS TO

2:11:40THEIR FACILITIES. WHY SHOULD WE

2:11:43BE ANY DIFFERENT? OUR STUDENTS,

2:11:46SOME OF YOUR CHILDREN,

2:11:47GRANDCHILDREN, MY SON AND OUR

2:11:50STAFF DESERVE THAT SAME LEVEL

2:11:51OF SAFETY. EVERY ADULT ENTERING

2:11:53OUR BUILDING IS SUPPOSED TO BE

2:11:54CHECKED TO ENSURE STUDENT

2:11:55SAFETY. OUR CAMPUS SHOULD BE NO

2:11:57EXCEPTION. AT IDA B WELLS,

2:11:58ACTIVITIES CAN RUN FROM 5 A.M.

2:12:00WELL PAST 9 P.M. AT NIGHT, AND

2:12:01AS THE DAY GOES ON, THERE ARE

2:12:03FEWER STAFF MEMBERS AVAILABLE

2:12:04TO SUPERVISE THE CAMPUS SAFETY

2:12:05CONCERNS, AND A LACK OF

2:12:07SUPERVISION SHOULD NOT PREVENT

2:12:08OUR MOST VULNERABLE STUDENTS

2:12:09FROM PARTICIPATING IN SPORTS

2:12:10CLUBS AND EXTRACURRICULAR

2:12:11ACTIVITIES THAT MAKE HIGH

2:12:12SCHOOL SUCH A MEANINGFUL

2:12:13EXPERIENCE. IT'S EASY TO FORGET

2:12:15THAT FOR SOME STUDENTS, SCHOOL

2:12:16IS THE ONLY PLACE WHERE THEY

2:12:18TRULY FEEL SAFE. IT'S THE ONE

2:12:19PLACE WHERE THEY HAVE STRUCTURE,

2:12:21PREDICTABILITY, AND CONSISTENT

2:12:22ADULTS THAT THEY CAN RELY ON.

2:12:23THEY COME HERE TO LEARN, BUT

2:12:25THEY ALSO COME HERE TO ESCAPE

2:12:26THE CHALLENGES THAT THEY MAY

2:12:27FACE OUTSIDE THESE WALLS. AND

2:12:29THOSE STUDENTS DESERVE TO KNOW

2:12:30THAT THE SAFE ENVIRONMENT THEY

2:12:31RELY ON WILL BE PROTECTED.

2:12:32THANK YOU.

2:12:33>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

2:12:36>> NEXT UP WE HAVE CHRISTY

2:12:38THORPE SMITH. CHRISTY THORPE

2:12:47SMITH. MIKE NOLAN.

2:12:55>> WELCOME.

2:13:00>> MY NAME IS MIKE NOLAN. GOOD

2:13:03AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS MIKE

2:13:05NOLAN. I'VE BEEN THE ATHLETIC

2:13:06DIRECTOR AT IDA B WELLS FOR 26

2:13:09YEARS. EXCUSE ME. I'VE SERVED

2:13:10AT B WELLS FOR 26 YEARS AND

2:13:12HAVE BEEN THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

2:13:13FOR THE PAST TEN. I WANT TO

2:13:15BEGIN BY MAKING SOMETHING VERY

2:13:16CLEAR. I DEEPLY BELIEVE IN

2:13:18COMMUNITY. ATHLETICS IS ONE OF

2:13:19THE GREATEST COMMUNITY BUILDING

2:13:21TOOLS WE HAVE. OUR FACILITY

2:13:23SHOULD SERVE STUDENTS, FAMILIES,

2:13:24YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS, AND OUR

2:13:25BROADER COMMUNITY. BUT

2:13:27COMMUNITY ACCESS AND

2:13:29UNRESTRICTED ACCESS ARE NOT THE

2:13:30SAME THING. AFTER 26 YEARS IN

2:13:32THIS CAMPUS, I'M ASKING YOU NOT

2:13:34TO REQUIRE UNRESTRICTED,

2:13:36UNSUPERVISED PUBLIC ACCESS TO

2:13:37ATHLETIC FACILITIES TO OUR NEW

2:13:39SCHOOL. I'M NOT MAKING THIS

2:13:41REQUEST BECAUSE OF WHAT I FEAR

2:13:42MIGHT HAPPEN. I'M MAKING

2:13:43BECAUSE OF WHAT I HAVE

2:13:44PERSONALLY WATCHED HAPPEN.

2:13:46WE'VE HAD EQUIPMENT STOLEN, OUR

2:13:47PRESS BOX BROKEN INTO. WE'VE

2:13:49SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS

2:13:51REPLACING SOCCER GOALS AND NETS.

2:13:52WE'VE STOPPED A VARSITY GIRLS

2:13:54SOCCER GAME BECAUSE OF DOG

2:13:55FECES ON THE FIELD. WE'VE HAD

2:13:57CARS DRIVEN ONTO ATHLETIC

2:13:58FIELDS AND SOCCER GOALS DRAGGED

2:14:00ACROSS OUR TRACK. SOMEONE EVEN

2:14:02BUILT A BONFIRE ON OUR

2:14:04SYNTHETIC TURF, FORCING US TO

2:14:05REPLACE THE CENTER SECTION OF

2:14:06THE FIELD. WE SPENT MORE THAN

2:14:09$10,000 REMOVING GRAFFITI LAST

2:14:10YEAR ALONE, AND THIS PAST

2:14:12SUMMER, AN OUTSIDE GROUP

2:14:14ORGANIZED A TRACK MEET EVERY

2:14:16SUNDAY INVOLVING MORE THAN 150

2:14:18FAMILIES WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION.

2:14:19THEY HELD THE EVENT. WE

2:14:21INHERITED THE CLEANUP FACILITY

2:14:23IMPACT AND RESPONSIBILITY THAT

2:14:25IS NOT COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP.

2:14:27PARTNERSHIP REQUIRES SHARED

2:14:29RESPONSIBILITY. THIS IS NOT AN

2:14:30ARGUMENT FOR LOCKING OUR

2:14:32COMMUNITY OUT. IT IS AN

2:14:33ARGUMENT FOR MANAGED ACCESS

2:14:35INSTEAD OF UNMANAGED ACCESS. WE

2:14:37ARE A PUBLIC SCHOOL, NOT A

2:14:39PUBLIC PARK. IN FACT, THROUGH

2:14:42FACILITATION AND THE CLUB

2:14:44PROCESS, OUR OWN STUDENTS AND

2:14:45ATHLETIC PROGRAMS MUST SCHEDULE

2:14:47THE USE OF OUR OWN FACILITIES.

2:14:49IT IS REASONABLE TO EXPECT

2:14:51OUTSIDE USERS TO FOLLOW AN

2:14:52ESTABLISHED PROCESS AS WELL.

2:14:54THAT PROCESS PROCESS PROVIDES

2:14:56SUPERVISION, SCHEDULING, AND

2:14:57MOST IMPORTANTLY,

2:14:59ACCOUNTABILITY. WE ARE ABOUT TO

2:15:00MAKE AN EXTRAORDINARY PUBLIC

2:15:03INVESTMENT IN IDA B WELLS HIGH

2:15:04SCHOOL. WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION

2:15:06TO PROTECT THAT INVESTMENT.

2:15:07EVERY DOLLAR SPENT REMOVING

2:15:09GRAFFITI, REPAIRING TURF,

2:15:11REPLACING EQUIPMENT, OR

2:15:12CLEANING UP UNAUTHORIZED EVENTS

2:15:13IS A DOLLAR THAT CANNOT SUPPORT

2:15:15STUDENTS, AND TAXPAYERS SHOULD

2:15:17NOT HAVE TO PAY TWICE, ONCE TO

2:15:19BUILD THESE INCREDIBLE

2:15:20FACILITIES AND AGAIN TO REPAIR

2:15:22PREVENTABLE DAMAGE. SO I

2:15:24RESPECTFULLY ASK YOU TO

2:15:25CONTINUE TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN

2:15:26THE TWO VERY DIFFERENT IDEAS

2:15:29PUBLIC ACCESS AND UNRESTRICTED

2:15:31PUBLIC ACCESS. I SUPPORT THE

2:15:33FIRST. AFTER 26 YEARS AT WELLS,

2:15:36I CANNOT SUPPORT THE SECOND.

2:15:38ATHLETICS IS THE FRONT PORCH OF

2:15:39YOUR SCHOOL. IT IS OFTEN THE

2:15:41FIRST THING THAT PEOPLE SEE

2:15:42WHEN THEY ARRIVE ON CAMPUS. WE

2:15:43SHOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO

2:15:45MAINTAIN AN IMPECCABLE FRONT

2:15:46PORCH WITHOUT CONSTANTLY

2:15:48WORRYING ABOUT VANDALISM, THEFT,

2:15:49DAMAGE AND OVERUSE. I WANT OUR

2:15:52COMMUNITY TO USE THESE

2:15:53FACILITIES. I WANT THEM TO USE

2:15:55THEM RESPONSIBLY. THANK YOU.

2:15:57>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

2:15:59>> NEXT UP, WE HAVE JASMINE

2:16:01REESE.

2:16:08>> HI.

2:16:09>> GOOD AFTERNOON. FOR THE

2:16:12RECORD, MY NAME IS JASMINE

2:16:13REESE AND MY PRONOUNS ARE SHE

2:16:16HER. I'M A RESIDENT OF

2:16:19SOUTHWEST PORTLAND, AND I HAVE

2:16:20TWO CHILDREN IN THE WELLS

2:16:22FEEDER ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. I

2:16:25SERVED AS A VOLUNTEER ON THE

2:16:28COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING

2:16:29COMMITTEE, OR CPC FOR THE WELLS

2:16:32MODERNIZATION PROJECT, AND I

2:16:33DIRECT A BASKETBALL PROGRAM FOR

2:16:36KINDERGARTEN, FIRST AND SECOND

2:16:37GRADERS. AT WELLS. WE PULL A

2:16:39CIVIC, USE A BUILDING PERMIT,

2:16:41AND WORK WITH THE ATHLETIC

2:16:42DEPARTMENT TO GET ACCESS TO THE

2:16:44GYM ON SUNDAYS IN JANUARY AND

2:16:46FEBRUARY TO GIVE ACCESS TO OUR

2:16:48YOUTH IN SPORT. TODAY, I ASK

2:16:52THE COUNCIL DENY THIS APPEAL

2:16:54AND ADOPT THE APPLICANT'S

2:16:57REVISED CONDITIONAL USE FOR

2:16:59THIS APPLICATION FOR THE

2:17:02FOLLOWING REASONS. IN ADDITION

2:17:04TO THE STAFF REPORT, FIRST, WE

2:17:08NEED TO TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION

2:17:10STUDENT SAFETY. WE HEAR THAT

2:17:12THE VOTERS APPROVE THE BOND. WE

2:17:14HEAR THAT PEOPLE HAVE PAID FOR

2:17:15THINGS, BUT WHAT WE'RE NOT

2:17:16HEARING IS THE STUDENT VOICES,

2:17:18BECAUSE THE MAJORITY OF THE

2:17:19STUDENTS WHO ATTEND AND UTILIZE

2:17:21THIS SCHOOL FACILITY ARE NOT

2:17:23ABLE TO REGISTER TO VOTE, AND

2:17:25WE'RE LEAVING THEM BEHIND. HIGH

2:17:28SCHOOLS ARE PLACES WHERE YOUNG

2:17:31PEOPLE LEARN AND GROW SAFELY

2:17:33BEFORE THEY ENTER ADULTHOOD.

2:17:35THE DISTRICT EDUCATION

2:17:37SPECIFICATIONS THAT WERE

2:17:38IDENTIFIED DURING THE CPC. IN

2:17:40THE PROCESS, THEY CALL FOR A

2:17:42SECURE GATED CAMPUS, OPEN

2:17:45PUBLIC ACCESS TO THE GROUNDS,

2:17:46TRACK AND ATHLETIC FIELDS AND

2:17:49FACILITIES CONFLICT WITH THAT

2:17:51STANDARD OF THE EDUCATION SPEC,

2:17:53AND IT PUTS STUDENTS SAFETY AT

2:17:55RISK. AND WE KNOW THAT FROM

2:17:57TODAY'S CURRENT EVENTS THAT ARE

2:17:59TRAGICALLY TAKING PLACE IN IN

2:18:00CENTRAL OREGON. SECOND, THE

2:18:04COMMUNITY'S VOICE THROUGH THE

2:18:06CPC PROCESS, THE HILLSDALE

2:18:08NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION

2:18:09PARTICIPATED VIGOROUSLY. AND

2:18:10THAT IS THEIR RIGHT. BUT THE

2:18:17RESULT MAY HAVE BEEN OR IT IS A

2:18:20MULTIMILLION DOLLAR DESIGN THAT

2:18:23DESIGNS THE SCHOOL AROUND AN

2:18:25AGED INFRASTRUCTURE OF A POOL.

2:18:30DESPITE FEEDBACK FROM ATHLETICS,

2:18:32DESPITE FEEDBACK FROM THE

2:18:35ARCHITECTURAL STAFF AND THE

2:18:37WIDER WELLS COMMUNITY, I

2:18:38ACTUALLY PRESENTED A SURVEY

2:18:41THAT I TOOK AS A MEMBER OF THE

2:18:43CPC TO HAVE THE POOL RELOCATED

2:18:44TO THE SOUTHEAST BORDER SO IT

2:18:46WOULD BE OUTSIDE OF THE SECURE

2:18:48PERIMETER OF THE SCHOOL, AND IT

2:18:49COULD BE UTILIZED DURING THE

2:18:50DAY. AND DURING THAT

2:18:52PRESENTATION AT THE FACILITIES

2:18:55AND PLANNING MEETING, WE HAD

2:18:56LEARNED ABOUT THE $250 MILLION

2:18:59CHANGE ORDER THAT WAS A RESULT

2:19:01OF SLOWING THE JEFFERSON

2:19:02PROJECT DOWN. I HAVE CONCERNS

2:19:05ABOUT DELAYS TO THIS PROJECT

2:19:06BECAUSE OF THIS APPEAL AND A

2:19:08POSSIBLE ANOTHER BLACK EYE TO

2:19:11THE BOND MODERNIZATION PROJECT.

2:19:13FOR ALL OF THESE REASONS, I ASK

2:19:15FOR CITY COUNCIL TO DENY THE

2:19:18APPEAL AND ACCEPT THE

2:19:20CONDITIONS, THE REVISED

2:19:21CONDITIONS FROM THE APPLICANT.

2:19:22I YIELD MY TIME.

2:19:24>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

2:19:26>> NEXT UP, WE HAVE MIA DURHAM.

2:19:33>> WELCOME. THANK YOU.

2:19:36>> GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE. MY

2:19:38NAME IS MIA DURHAM AND I SERVE

2:19:40AS THE STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT

2:19:41AT IDA B WELLS HIGH SCHOOL. I

2:19:43AM ALSO THE DAUGHTER OF A

2:19:45TEACHER AT IDA B WELLS HIGH

2:19:46SCHOOL. I STAND BEFORE YOU

2:19:47TODAY TO SHARE MY CONCERNS WITH

2:19:49OUR NEW CAMPUS. NOT BEING

2:19:50CLOSED TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

2:19:51AS A MEMBER OF THE HILLSDALE

2:19:53COMMUNITY, I UNDERSTAND THE

2:19:54CONCERNS COMING FROM OUR

2:19:55NEIGHBORHOOD. ONE OF IDA B

2:19:57WELLS HIGH SCHOOL'S CORE VALUES

2:19:59IS COMMUNITY, AND WE TRY TO

2:20:00INVITE COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO OUR

2:20:01EVENTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE,

2:20:03SUCH AS A MUSIC FESTIVAL CALLED

2:20:05IDA B CELLO, WHICH I BELIEVE

2:20:07ANOTHER STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE

2:20:08WILL TOUCH UPON LATER. WE WANT

2:20:10TO CONTINUE TO CONTINUE THIS

2:20:12CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE

2:20:13BETWEEN OUR SCHOOL

2:20:14>> COMMUNITY MEMBERS. HOWEVER,

2:20:16A LESSON I'VE HAD TO LEARN OVER

2:20:17MY TIME AT IDA B WELLS IS THAT

2:20:19JUST A FEW PEOPLE CAN RUIN

2:20:20THINGS FOR EVERYONE. OVER THE

2:20:22COURSE OF MANY YEARS, TIME

2:20:23AFTER TIME, STRANGERS HAVE HELD

2:20:24EVENTS ON OUR SCHOOL GROUNDS

2:20:26WITHOUT A CUB. THEY HAVE

2:20:28INTERRUPTED SPORTS PRACTICES,

2:20:30DRIVEN ONTO OUR PRACTICE FIELDS,

2:20:32CAUSING PERMANENT DAMAGE TO OUR

2:20:33FACILITIES. I'VE PERSONALLY

2:20:35COME TO OUR FIELDS TO TRAIN AND

2:20:36HAVE FOUND LARGE SCALE EVENTS

2:20:38OF 50 PLUS PEOPLE BEING HELD,

2:20:40INHIBITING ME FROM PRACTICING

2:20:41ON THE TRACK. I'VE SEEN TRASH

2:20:43ALL AROUND OUR STADIUM AND

2:20:45FREQUENTLY HAD TO AVOID DOG

2:20:46FECES WHILE RUNNING ON OUR

2:20:47PRACTICE FIELDS. I AM A CROSS

2:20:50COUNTRY RUNNER AND WE OFTEN

2:20:51HOLD PRACTICE ON THE TRACK.

2:20:52ALMOST EVERY TIME WE PRACTICE

2:20:54ON THE TRACK, THERE ARE

2:20:55COMMUNITY MEMBERS RUNNING

2:20:55AROUND US IN CROSS COUNTRY. THE

2:20:57SAYING OF THE WORD TRACK WHILE

2:21:00RUNNING MEANS PLEASE MOVE OUT

2:21:01OF THE WAY. THIS IS AN

2:21:03EXTREMELY IMPORTANT PHRASE

2:21:04BECAUSE IT'S LET. IT LETS OUR

2:21:06RUNNERS KEEP THEIR PACE GOING

2:21:07WITHOUT BEING STOPPED BY OTHER

2:21:08ATHLETES. COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO

2:21:10DON'T UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF

2:21:11THE WORD TRACK GET IN HIS WAY

2:21:13AND CREATE A HECTIC AND

2:21:14STRESSFUL ENVIRONMENT FOR

2:21:15EVERYBODY INVOLVED. THIS ISSUE

2:21:18MAY SEEM SMALL, BUT WHEN YOU

2:21:19HAVE AT LEAST TEN STRANGERS ON

2:21:21THE TRACK DURING PRACTICE, IT

2:21:22BECOMES A MUCH LARGER ISSUE.

2:21:23HAVING A GATED TRACK FACILITY

2:21:26WOULD ELIMINATE THIS PROBLEM. I

2:21:28WOULD LIKE TO STRESS THIS TO

2:21:29YOU ALL. IDA B WELLS HIGH

2:21:31SCHOOL IS FIRST AND FOREMOST A

2:21:34SCHOOL, NOT A PUBLIC PARK.

2:21:36SCHOOLS ALL AROUND OREGON HAVE

2:21:38GATED FACILITIES AND IT MAKES

2:21:39SENSE. SCHOOLS ARE FOR STUDENTS.

2:21:42WE LOVE OUR COMMUNITY AND WE

2:21:43WANT THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN

2:21:44EVENTS THAT THEY ARE INVITED TO.

2:21:47WE EVEN HAVE A DESIGNATED

2:21:48PROCESS FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS

2:21:50TO FOLLOW WHEN THEY WANT TO

2:21:51RESERVE OUR FACILITIES FOR

2:21:52EVENT, THUS ELIMINATING ANY

2:21:54ISSUES FOR STUDENT ATHLETES AND

2:21:56PRACTICES, AS WELL AS KEEPING

2:21:57OUR CAMPUS CLEAN. BECAUSE THIS

2:21:59PROCESS PAYS FOR CUSTODIAL. SO

2:22:01TO KEEP OUR SCHOOL FACILITIES

2:22:03FOCUSED FOR THE STUDENTS, WE

2:22:04WANT TO WORK WITH OUR COMMUNITY,

2:22:06TO USE CLUBS TO RESERVE OUR

2:22:08SPACES AND MUST HAVE OUR

2:22:10FACILITIES GATED. THANK YOU FOR

2:22:12YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

2:22:14>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR

2:22:15BEING HERE.

2:22:16>> NEXT UP WE HAVE CANON WALTER.

2:22:25>> HELLO, MY NAME IS CANON

2:22:26WALTER KANNON WALTER, AND I AM

2:22:30A CURRENT SENIOR AT IDA B WELLS

2:22:31HIGH SCHOOL. I'M HERE IN FRONT

2:22:33OF YOU ALL TODAY TO TESTIFY ON

2:22:34THE IMPORTANCE OF ENCLOSING THE

2:22:36IDA B WELLS TRACK AND FIELD IN

2:22:37ORDER TO PROVIDE SAFETY FOR

2:22:39BOTH OUR STUDENTS AND THE

2:22:40EQUIPMENT THEY USE. WHILE

2:22:42ENCLOSING OUR FIELDS MAY NOT

2:22:43FEEL LIKE THE BEST OPTION, IT

2:22:45IS A NECESSARY ONE FOR OUR

2:22:46SCHOOL AND ITS STUDENTS. AT IDA

2:22:48B WELLS I'M A PART OF OUR

2:22:50LEADERSHIP PROGRAM. PART OF OUR

2:22:51FOCUS AS A LEADERSHIP GROUP IS

2:22:53TO HOST COMMUNITY AND STUDENT

2:22:54EVENTS USING OUR CAMPUS

2:22:56RESOURCES. ONE EXAMPLE OF AN

2:22:58EVENT WE HOST IS CALLED IDA B

2:22:59THAT TAKES PLACE IN EITHER THE

2:23:01COURTYARD OR ON OUR TURF FIELD.

2:23:02IT IS AN EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL

2:23:04FREE COMMUNITY EVENT THAT

2:23:07EVERYONE, INCLUDING

2:23:08NON-STUDENTS, ARE INVITED TO

2:23:10ATTEND. ONE OF THE MAIN

2:23:11ATTRACTIONS OF THIS EVENT IS

2:23:13THE LIVE MUSIC DURING SUNSET.

2:23:14DURING THIS PERIOD, WE HAVE THE

2:23:16MUSICIANS PERFORM ON A LARGE

2:23:17SCALE STAGE, GRACIOUSLY LOANED

2:23:20TO US BY OUR DRAMA DEPARTMENT.

2:23:22UNFORTUNATELY, THIS STAGE CAN

2:23:23TAKE UP TO TWO HOURS TO TAKE

2:23:25DOWN AND WITH THE IDA B LASTING

2:23:27USUALLY TO ABOUT 930. THIS HAS

2:23:29CREATED AN ISSUE FOR US AS A

2:23:30LEADERSHIP PROGRAM. IN MY

2:23:32SOPHOMORE YEAR WE HOSTED IDA B

2:23:34CHILL ON THE TURF FIELD. IT WAS

2:23:36AN INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL EVENT

2:23:37AND AS A STUDENT LEADER, I

2:23:39VOLUNTEERED TO HELP ON CLEAN UP

2:23:40DUTY. SINCE I WAS A NEW EVENT,

2:23:43WE AS A LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

2:23:44DIDN'T FULLY KNOW THE EXTENT OF

2:23:45HOW HARD IT WOULD BE TO CLEAN

2:23:47UP THE STAGE. FOR THE NEXT HOUR

2:23:48AND A HALF, I WAS AT THE SCHOOL,

2:23:51TAKING DOWN THE STAGE AND

2:23:52BRINGING IT BACK INTO OUR

2:23:53SCHOOL. DURING THIS TIME, I

2:23:54DIDN'T HAVE A DRIVER'S LICENSE,

2:23:56SO INSTEAD OF GOING TO BED WHEN

2:23:57MY PARENTS HAD TO STAY UP TILL

2:23:59AROUND 1130 ON A WORK NIGHT IN

2:24:01ORDER TO PICK ME UP, AND IN THE

2:24:03SAME REGARD, I DIDN'T GET TO

2:24:04BED UNTIL AT LEAST MIDNIGHT ON

2:24:06A SCHOOL NIGHT IN WHICH I HAD

2:24:07CLASSES THE NEXT DAY. WHILE WE

2:24:09IMPROVED OUR PROCESSES THE

2:24:10FOLLOWING YEAR, THE STAGE,

2:24:11ALONG WITH THE OTHER ASPECTS OF

2:24:13THE EVENT, STILL REMAIN A LARGE

2:24:14ISSUE IN OUR ABILITY TO CLEAN

2:24:16UP BY A REASONABLE TIME. AS YOU

2:24:17DECIDE WHETHER TO BUILD A

2:24:18SECURE FENCE, I WANT YOU TO

2:24:20THINK ABOUT MY SOPHOMORE YEAR,

2:24:22ALONG WITH THE FRESHMEN AND

2:24:23UPPERCLASSMEN WHO WORKED

2:24:24TIRELESSLY TO ENSURE THAT THIS

2:24:26AMAZING COMMUNITY EVENT, ALONG

2:24:27WITH CLEANUP FOR OTHER

2:24:28ACTIVITIES, HAPPENS EVERY YEAR.

2:24:31WITH THE EXISTENCE OF A SECURE

2:24:32FENCE THAT IS LOCKED WHEN

2:24:33STUDENTS AND STAFF ARE NOT

2:24:35USING IT, AND WHEN THE CIVIC

2:24:36USE OF BUILDING REQUESTS HAS

2:24:37NOT RENTED THE SCHOOL PROPERTY

2:24:39TO ANOTHER ORGANIZATION, THEN

2:24:40WE COULD HAVE MADE SURE THAT

2:24:41THE STAGE WOULD NOT BE DAMAGED

2:24:43OVERNIGHT. THIS WOULD ALLOW OUR

2:24:44LEADERSHIP PROGRAM, ALONG WITH

2:24:46OTHER SCHOOL BASED

2:24:47ORGANIZATIONS, THE ABILITY TO

2:24:48HOLD IDA B, ALONG WITH OTHER

2:24:50AMAZING EVENTS EVERY YEAR,

2:24:52WHILE ALSO GIVING US THE

2:24:53ABILITY TO CLEAN UP THE STAGE

2:24:55AND OTHER LARGE PARTS OF EVENTS.

2:24:56THE NEXT DAY DURING OUR

2:24:58DESIGNATED LEADERSHIP CLASS

2:24:59TIME. THIS IS ONE OF MULTIPLE

2:25:01EXAMPLES THAT WE, AS STUDENTS

2:25:02ON CAMPUS, CAN SHARE AS TO WHY

2:25:04HAVING OUR CAMPUS OPEN WITH A

2:25:06CLUB REQUEST CAN BE PROBLEMATIC,

2:25:08OR WITHOUT A CLUB REQUEST.

2:25:10WITHOUT THE PROPER MEASURES

2:25:11LIKE A SECURE FENCE AROUND OUR

2:25:13SCHOOL, WE ARE LIMITING OUR

2:25:14ABILITY AS STUDENTS TO SUPPORT

2:25:16OUR COMMUNITY THROUGH EVENTS

2:25:17LIKE THESE AND CONTINUE TO RISK

2:25:18THE SAFETY OF OUR EQUIPMENT AND

2:25:20THE STUDENT BODY. THANK YOU FOR

2:25:22YOUR TIME.

2:25:23>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR

2:25:24BEING HERE.

2:25:25>> NEXT UP WE HAVE ANAYA.

2:25:27MIRANDA. BLANK.

2:25:31>> WELCOME.

2:25:32>> THANK YOU.

2:25:35>> HELLO, EVERYONE. MY NAME IS

2:25:37ANAYA MIRANDA BLANK, AND I'M A

2:25:38CURRENT SENIOR HERE AT IDA B

2:25:40WELLS HIGH SCHOOL. I ALSO SERVE

2:25:42AS THE SENIOR OFFICER OF

2:25:44COMMUNICATIONS. I'M HERE TODAY

2:25:46TO TESTIFY THE IMPORTANCE OF

2:25:47CLOSING THE TRACK AND FIELD TO

2:25:50THE COMMUNITY IN ORDER TO

2:25:51PROTECT OUR FACILITIES, REDUCE

2:25:54LIMITED STAFF AND VOLUNTEER

2:25:55EFFORTS, AND PROVIDE AN

2:25:57ENVIRONMENT THAT IS CONDUCIVE

2:25:58TO SPORTS PRACTICE AND PLAY. I

2:26:01HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE SOCCER

2:26:03PROGRAM HERE AT IDA B WELLS. WE

2:26:05REGULARLY HAD PRACTICES ON THE

2:26:07FIELD OVER THE SUMMER, AND

2:26:09SOMETIMES OTHER SCHOOL SPORTS

2:26:10WERE ALSO PRACTICING AT THE

2:26:12SAME TIME. ONE TIME WHEN SOCCER

2:26:14WAS PRACTICING ON THE FIELD AND

2:26:16CHEER WAS USING THE TRACK. A

2:26:18LARGE GROUP OF 60 PLUS PEOPLE

2:26:20CAME OVER AND HELD THEIR OWN

2:26:22PERSONAL TRACK MEET. THEIR USE

2:26:24OF THE TRACK MADE IT EXTREMELY

2:26:26DIFFICULT FOR CHEER TO PRACTICE.

2:26:29THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS. CONSTANT

2:26:30WHISTLE BLOWING TO START AND

2:26:32STOP A RAISE ALSO CONFUSED

2:26:34STUDENTS DOING DRILLS AT SOCCER

2:26:36PRACTICE. THIS DISRUPTION SHOWS

2:26:39THAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS NEED TO

2:26:40HAVE CLEAR BOUNDARIES WHEN IT

2:26:42COMES TO THE USE OF OUR

2:26:43SCHOOL'S ATHLETIC FACILITIES.

2:26:45OUR SCHOOL, OUR SCHOOL'S

2:26:46ATHLETIC FACILITIES ALREADY

2:26:48HAVE LIMITED ACCESS FOR STUDENT

2:26:50ATHLETES. THE FIELDS HAVE BEEN

2:26:52DAMAGED BY CONSTANT MISUSE. THE

2:26:54DAMAGE TO OUR FIELDS AND

2:26:55EQUIPMENT CAUSED MORE OF A

2:26:56FINANCIAL BURDEN ON ON THE

2:26:58SCHOOL DISTRICT AND FACILITIES,

2:27:00CONSTANTLY HAVING TO REPLACE

2:27:01AND REPAIR THINGS THAT HAVE

2:27:02BEEN DAMAGED BY THE PUBLIC.

2:27:06FINALLY, WE ARE BUILDING A

2:27:07MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR FACILITY

2:27:08THAT IS GOING TO BE HERE FOR

2:27:10FUTURE GENERATIONS TO COME. IN

2:27:12ORDER TO PROTECT OUR FACILITIES,

2:27:14WE SHOULD LIMIT PUBLIC ACCESS

2:27:16AND ONLY APPROVE PUBLIC USAGE

2:27:18THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS TO

2:27:19MAINTAIN AN INVESTMENT FOR OUR

2:27:21COMMUNITY FOR YEARS TO COME.

2:27:23THE PUBLIC WANTING TO USE OUR

2:27:24ATHLETIC FACILITIES IS NOT A

2:27:26BAD THING, AND I COMPLETELY

2:27:28UNDERSTAND WHERE THEY ARE

2:27:28COMING FROM IN REGARDS TO

2:27:30WANTING TO USE THE FACILITIES.

2:27:31BUT THERE HAVE TO BE BOUNDARIES.

2:27:34I BELIEVE THAT NEIGHBORHOOD

2:27:36ORGANIZATIONS SHOULD HAVE TO

2:27:36USE THE RESERVATION PROCESS TO

2:27:38RESERVE TIME TO SAFELY ACCESS

2:27:40THE TRACK AND FIELD. WITH THE

2:27:42SUPPORT OF THE IDA B WELLS

2:27:43CUSTODIAL STAFF, THIS SCHOOL IS

2:27:45OUR COMMUNITY AND IT'S FOR OUR

2:27:47STUDENTS. THIS IS THE CENTER OF

2:27:49OUR COMMUNITY, AND I URGE THE

2:27:51COUNCIL TO PROTECT OUR SCHOOL'S

2:27:52CAMPUS AND CENTER STUDENTS

2:27:54NEEDS FIRST. THANK YOU.

2:27:56>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

2:27:58>> NEXT, WE HAVE ISOLADOS.

2:28:03>> WELCOME.

2:28:05>> THANK YOU.

2:28:07>> THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING ME

2:28:08TODAY. MY NAME IS ISOLADOS AND

2:28:10I'M A SENIOR AT IDA B WELLS

2:28:12HIGH SCHOOL, WHERE I'M INVOLVED

2:28:13IN STUDENT GOVERNMENT, SOCCER,

2:28:14TENNIS AND OTHER

2:28:16EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES. I'M

2:28:17HERE TO TESTIFY AND

2:28:19SPECIFICALLY TO OPPOSE THE

2:28:20PROPOSED CONDITION REQUIRING

2:28:22PUBLIC ACCESS WITHOUT

2:28:23RESERVATIONS TO OUR SCHOOL'S

2:28:24OPEN AREAS AND RECREATIONAL

2:28:26FACILITIES. UNRESERVED ACCESS

2:28:28WOULD PUT THE SAFETY OF MY

2:28:29PEERS AT RISK, INCREASE THE

2:28:31COST OF REPLACING SPORTS

2:28:33EQUIPMENT, AND ADD TO THE

2:28:34MAINTENANCE BURDEN ON OUR STAFF

2:28:35AND VOLUNTEERS. AS A MEMBER OF

2:28:38STUDENT GOVERNMENT, I'VE SEEN

2:28:40FIRSTHAND HOW MUCH CLEANUP OUR

2:28:41LEADERSHIP PROGRAM TAKES ON

2:28:42AFTER SCHOOL EVENTS. THAT CAN

2:28:44MEAN HOURS OF WORK AFTER

2:28:45COURTYARD EVENTS, OR STAYING

2:28:47LATE AFTER FOOTBALL GAMES

2:28:49ALONGSIDE PARENT VOLUNTEERS TO

2:28:50CLEAN OUR TRACK, FIELD AND

2:28:52BLEACHERS. THIS WORK IS

2:28:54INTENSIVE AND DEPENDS ON A

2:28:55LARGE GROUP OF COMMITTED

2:28:56STUDENTS AND PARENTS. BUT WHEN

2:28:58UNREGISTERED EVENTS HAPPEN ON

2:29:00OUR FACILITIES WITHOUT A

2:29:01RESERVATION, THERE ARE NO

2:29:03VOLUNTEERS LINED UP AND THE

2:29:04BURDEN FALLS ON OUR SCHOOL

2:29:05STAFF. AS AN ATHLETE IN BOTH AN

2:29:07ON CAMPUS SPORT AND AN OFF

2:29:09CAMPUS SPORT, I'VE ALSO SEEN

2:29:10HOW DIFFERENT FACILITIES HOLD

2:29:12UP DEPENDING ON WHO CAN ACCESS

2:29:13THEM. AS THE CAPTAIN OF THE

2:29:15WOMEN'S VARSITY SOCCER TEAM,

2:29:16I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING SURE

2:29:18OUR GOALS ARE LOCKED UP. WE USE

2:29:20SEVERAL DIFFERENT LOCKS SO OUR

2:29:21COMMUNITY PARTNERS CAN USE THE

2:29:23GOALS WHILE PREVENTING THEFT.

2:29:25OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS DURING

2:29:26OUR SOCCER PRACTICES, I'VE SEEN

2:29:28PEOPLE DIGGING THROUGH THE

2:29:29TRASH CANS LOOKING FOR CANS.

2:29:31WHEN THEY LEAVE, THE TRASH IS

2:29:33OFTEN SCATTERED EVERYWHERE IN.

2:29:34OUR CUSTODIAL STAFF WHO ARE

2:29:35ALREADY STRETCHED THIN ARE LEFT

2:29:37TO CLEAN IT UP. OUR TENNIS

2:29:39PROGRAM, MEANWHILE, PLAYS OFF

2:29:41CAMPUS AT GABRIEL PARK,

2:29:42CURRENTLY, WHERE WE FREQUENTLY

2:29:43DEAL WITH PEOPLE USING THE

2:29:44COURTS FOR NON-TENNIS PURPOSES

2:29:46AND DAMAGING THE SURFACE. I

2:29:48ALSO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE

2:29:49NEIGHBORHOOD IS COMING FROM. I

2:29:51LIVE IN THIS COMMUNITY TOO, AND

2:29:52I'VE USED THE TRACK TO TRAIN

2:29:53FOR A HALF MARATHON. I KNOW HOW

2:29:56VALUABLE THESE SPACES ARE TO

2:29:56THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM, AND I

2:29:58WANT THEM TO STAY THAT WAY. BUT

2:30:00THAT'S EXACTLY WHY I'M

2:30:01CONCERNED. THE FACILITIES ARE

2:30:02ONLY WORTH SHARING IF THEY'RE

2:30:03KEPT SAFE AND IN GOOD CONDITION,

2:30:05AND THAT'S MUCH HARDER TO DO

2:30:06WHEN THERE'S NO WAY OF KNOWING

2:30:08WHO IS USING THEM OR WHEN. WITH

2:30:11NEW TENNIS COURTS BEING BUILT

2:30:12AS PART OF THIS PROJECT,

2:30:14PROTECTING THEM FROM THE START

2:30:15IS ESSENTIAL. COURT SURFACES

2:30:16ARE DELICATE, AND WITH

2:30:17UNRESTRICTED USE, THEY WON'T

2:30:19LAST. FOR THESE REASONS, I

2:30:21RESPECTFULLY URGE THE CITY

2:30:22COUNCIL NOT TO ADD THE

2:30:23CONDITION REQUIRING PUBLIC

2:30:24ACCESS WITHOUT RESERVATIONS AND

2:30:26TO UPHOLD THE HEARING OFFICER'S

2:30:28DECISION AS APPROVED. THANK YOU

2:30:29FOR YOUR TIME.

2:30:30>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

2:30:32>> THAT COMPLETES TESTIMONY.

2:30:34>> GREAT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH,

2:30:36EVERYBODY. FINALLY, OUR WE ARE

2:30:38GOING TO INVITE THE APPELLANT

2:30:40TO PROVIDE THEIR REBUTTAL. THEY

2:30:42HAVE FIVE MINUTES FOR THAT.

2:30:50>> HI AGAIN, VALERIE FRIEDMAN.

2:30:54I HAVE TO SAY WE'RE WELL WE ARE

2:31:00WE WELCOME THE CONDITION

2:31:03PROPOSED BY PS WERE CAUGHT A

2:31:05LITTLE UNPREPARED BECAUSE THIS

2:31:08IS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE SEEN IT.

2:31:11AND AS FAR AS THAT GOES, I JUST

2:31:13I JUST WANT TO SAY WE'D LIKE TO

2:31:16REQUEST THAT THE CONDITION THAT

2:31:18THE TIMES BE ADJUSTED ON THE

2:31:20CONDITION IF IT'S IF IT WERE TO

2:31:22BE APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL AND

2:31:24THAT THE STARTING TIME BE 5

2:31:27A.M. AND THAT THE AFTERNOON

2:31:30OPEN TIME, BE CLOSER TO THE END

2:31:34OF THE SCHOOL DAY, AND THAT IN

2:31:37SUMMER THE ACCESS BE GRANTED

2:31:40UNTIL 10 P.M. OR SUNSET. BUT I

2:31:43ALSO WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO

2:31:46EVERYBODY WHO'S TESTIFIED IN

2:31:50OPPOSITION TO OUR APPEAL. ALL

2:31:52OF THESE ISSUES ARE EXTREMELY

2:31:54IMPORTANT FOR EVERYONE, FOR OUR

2:31:58SCHOOL STAFF, STUDENTS AND OUR

2:32:00COMMUNITY. I THINK A LOT OF THE

2:32:03ISSUES THAT WE'VE HEARD ABOUT

2:32:05WILL BE ADDRESSED BY THE TIME

2:32:08LOCK GATES THAT ARE PLANNED AS

2:32:09PART OF THIS PROPOSAL THAT

2:32:12NOBODY IS PROPOSING BE OPEN

2:32:13AFTER 9 P.M. MAYBE 10 P.M. SO I

2:32:19THINK A LOT OF THAT WILL BE

2:32:21TAKEN CARE OF JUST BY HAVING

2:32:24THESE NEW GATES THAT CAN KEEP

2:32:25PEOPLE OUT OVERNIGHT. AND WHEN

2:32:29THERE AREN'T OTHER PEOPLE

2:32:30AROUND, THAT'S WHEN THE PEOPLE

2:32:31COME WHO DO BAD THINGS. AND I

2:32:35JUST WANT TO CALL OUT. ALSO,

2:32:38SOMEBODY MENTIONED THAT OUT OF

2:32:40EIGHT OUT OF NINE HIGH SCHOOLS,

2:32:42THIS WILL BE THE ONLY ONE. IF

2:32:43THIS CONDITION PASSES THAT THAT

2:32:45ALLOWS PUBLIC ACCESS. AND I

2:32:46JUST KEEP COMING BACK TO GRANT

2:32:48HIGH SCHOOL. IT SEEMS LIKE A

2:32:49VERY DIFFERENT SITUATION THERE.

2:32:53I DON'T KNOW THAT I WANT TO SAY

2:32:56ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THIS, BUT I

2:32:57KNOW DONNA AND KEITH HAVE

2:32:58THINGS TO SAY.

2:32:59>> SO BURLINGAME AVENUE, IF I

2:33:02UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS BEING SAID,

2:33:03THEY DON'T WANT TO USE THE

2:33:06EXISTING PAVED ROUTE THAT WE

2:33:08CURRENTLY WALK ON, BUT CLOSE IT

2:33:10OFF AT LANDSCAPE IT. AND

2:33:12BASICALLY THEY'RE BASICALLY

2:33:13SAYING, AND PEOPLE WILL THEN

2:33:14HAVE A CROSSWALK ON BURLINGAME

2:33:16AVENUE. THINK ABOUT THAT, OKAY?

2:33:18WHEN PEOPLE ARE COMING TO

2:33:19SCHOOL, THEY'RE WALKING AGAINST

2:33:21TRAFFIC AS REQUIRED BY STATE

2:33:22LAW. THAT MEANS YOU'RE ON THE

2:33:24SOUTH SIDE OF BURLINGAME AVENUE,

2:33:26AND THEN YOU HAVE TO WALK IN

2:33:28THE STREET. AND THEIR PROPOSAL

2:33:29AGAINST TRAFFIC TO THEIR

2:33:32ENTRANCE, IF THEY JUST LEAVE IT

2:33:33OPEN LIKE IT IS, WE CAN WALK ON

2:33:35THAT ASPHALT THAT EXISTS THERE

2:33:37AND GET TO WHERE WE NEED TO GO.

2:33:39I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT'S GOING

2:33:40ON IN THEIR HEAD TO MAKE THIS

2:33:43SO COMPLICATED. AND THAT'S THE

2:33:47THAT'S THE BASICALLY THAT'S THE

2:33:48ESSENCE. GO AHEAD.

2:33:50>> REGARDING RICKY ROAD, I'D

2:33:53LIKE TO JUST REMIND EVERYBODY

2:33:54THAT RICKY DRIVEWAY AND WALKWAY

2:33:56IS USED CONSISTENTLY THROUGHOUT

2:33:58THE DAY BY PEOPLE IN THE

2:33:59NEIGHBORHOOD, STUDENTS AND SO

2:34:01FORTH. AND THE IDEA OF PUTTING

2:34:05BIKES AND PEDESTRIANS ON NOT

2:34:07REALLY AN EIGHT FOOT PATH, IT'S

2:34:09REALLY SIX FOOT CLEAR IS JUST

2:34:12SUBSTANDARD IN EVERY RESPECT.

2:34:13YOU CAN JUST LOOK AT THE CITY'S

2:34:15PEDESTRIAN DESIGN GUIDELINES,

2:34:17AND I HAD A SNIPPET IN THE

2:34:18WRITTEN TESTIMONY. IT SHOWS HOW

2:34:21THAT WIDTH IS TOTALLY DEFICIENT.

2:34:24SO THE SOLUTION IS A NON BUILD

2:34:26SOLUTION IS TO JUST HAVE AN

2:34:28EASEMENT, JUST LIKE THE

2:34:30EASEMENT THAT THEY'RE PROPOSING

2:34:32FOR THE EAST AND NORTH

2:34:34DRIVEWAYS. THAT WOULD BE

2:34:36ABSOLUTELY PERFECT FOR HERE.

2:34:37THE IRONY IS, IS THAT RICKY

2:34:39ROAD IS THE ONE THAT HAS THE

2:34:41TSB DESIGNATIONS, WHEREAS THE

2:34:42EAST AND NORTH DRIVEWAYS DO NOT.

2:34:45I WOULD ALSO SUBMIT THAT WE

2:34:46REALLY NEED BOTH ACCESSES.

2:34:48YOU'VE GOT A DISTANCE OF OVER

2:34:502000FT AND ONLY TWO ROUTES

2:34:55ACROSS THIS. THIS CAMPUS TO GET

2:34:57TO CONNECT THE NEIGHBORHOODS

2:34:59WITH WITH HILLSDALE.

2:35:00>> CAN CAN I HAVE ANOTHER 20S?

2:35:03I. THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS

2:35:05I FORGOT. AND IN TERMS OF THE

2:35:07CONDITION, THE NEW CONDITION

2:35:08THAT'S PROPOSED, WE HOPE THAT

2:35:11ACCESS TO THE WELLS COURTYARD

2:35:12AND PRACTICE FIELD CAN BE ADDED

2:35:14AS WELL. I DON'T THINK THE

2:35:16CONDITION INCLUDES THOSE TWO

2:35:18SPACES.

2:35:18>> AND THE FINAL THING I WANT

2:35:20TO POINT OUT IS ON RICKY ROAD

2:35:22OR THE RICKY DRIVEWAY. A LOT OF

2:35:26PEOPLE WALK THEIR DOGS THINK

2:35:27ABOUT SIX FEET WIDE AND DOGS ON

2:35:31A LEASH WITH A BICYCLE AT HIGH

2:35:33SPEED. IT'S TERRIBLE.

2:35:37>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OKAY.

2:35:41>> THANK YOU.

2:35:42>> THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

2:35:43COLLEAGUES, WE ARE NOW ENTERING

2:35:45INTO COUNCIL DELIBERATION. I

2:35:48HAVE A LITTLE SCRIPT TO READ

2:35:48VERY QUICKLY. THE EVIDENTIARY

2:35:51RECORD IN THIS HEARING IS NOW

2:35:52CLOSED. THIS MEANS THE COUNCIL

2:35:53WILL ACCEPT NO MORE ORAL OR

2:35:55WRITTEN TESTIMONY ON THE LAND

2:35:56USE APPEAL. AND THIS CONCLUDES

2:35:58THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

2:36:00PORTION OF THIS EVIDENTIARY

2:36:02HEARING. CITY ATTORNEY, DO WE

2:36:03HAVE ANYTHING TO DISCUSS BEFORE

2:36:05WE BEGIN DELIBERATIONS? NOPE.

2:36:08COOL. THANK YOU. COLLEAGUES,

2:36:09WE'RE NOW GOING TO BEGIN

2:36:10COUNCIL DELIBERATIONS. FEEL

2:36:11FREE TO GET INTO THE QUEUE. AND

2:36:13AS WE ENTER THE DELIBERATIONS,

2:36:16I WILL JUST NOTE TO MY

2:36:17COLLEAGUES IT IS CURRENTLY 430.

2:36:19WE HAVE ONE OTHER LAND USE ITEM

2:36:21THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO

2:36:22HOPEFULLY BEGIN. CLEARLY, WE

2:36:23WON'T END IT, BUT WE WILL. I'M

2:36:25GOING TO TRY AND GET US TO AT

2:36:27LEAST OPEN IT AND THEN WE WILL

2:36:29CONTINUE THAT CONVERSATION. SO

2:36:30COUNCILOR AVALOS, KICK US OFF.

2:36:32>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. REALLY

2:36:35APPRECIATE ALL OF THE WORK THAT

2:36:37EVERYBODY DID TO PRESENT THEIR

2:36:39CASE. I THINK THAT ULTIMATELY

2:36:43WHAT I'M FEELING IS, ONE, I

2:36:45THINK THAT THE COMPROMISE

2:36:47CONDITION THAT WAS PRESENTED

2:36:49FEELS ADEQUATE, FEELS

2:36:51SATISFACTORY TO ME. I AM NOT

2:36:55OVERLY COMPELLED BY ARGUMENTS

2:36:58THAT THE SPACE SHOULD REMAIN AS

2:37:01OPEN AND AS FREE AS IT HAS BEEN.

2:37:03I THINK THE SCHOOL AND THE

2:37:05STUDENTS HAVE MADE A VERY

2:37:07DEFENSIBLE CASE FOR WHY THEY

2:37:09DESERVE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF

2:37:13RESTRICTIONS TO ACCESS TO THEIR

2:37:14FIELDS. AND THEY'RE RIGHT, IT

2:37:16IS THEIR SCHOOL. AT THE END OF

2:37:17THE DAY, I CAN APPRECIATE,

2:37:19ESPECIALLY AS AN EAST PORTLAND

2:37:21REPRESENTATIVE, THAT PUBLIC

2:37:22SPACES, GREEN SPACES ARE HARD

2:37:24TO COME BY. AND I DEFINITELY

2:37:26UNDERSTAND THE COMMUNITY'S

2:37:28DESIRES FOR HAVING ACCESS. AND

2:37:30I THINK WE AS A CITY, NEED TO

2:37:32CONTINUE ENSURING THAT WE'RE

2:37:34PROVIDING THAT AS A PUBLIC GOOD.

2:37:37BUT THAT IS NOT THE SCHOOL'S

2:37:40RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE. AND

2:37:41I REALLY DO FEEL PERSUADED BY

2:37:44THE STUDENTS PERSPECTIVE AND

2:37:46REALLY RESPECT JUST WHAT

2:37:50THEY'RE WHAT THEY'RE ARGUING.

2:37:51AND ALSO WHAT SOUNDS LIKE IS

2:37:54REALLY CHALLENGING FOR STUDENTS

2:37:56ACCESSING THEIR OWN CAMPUS.

2:37:58THAT, TO ME, IS RISING TO A

2:38:01LEVEL OF IMPORTANCE THAT WOULD

2:38:03LEAD ME TO NOT SUPPORT THE

2:38:05APPEAL. SO AT THIS POINT, I DO

2:38:08NOT SUPPORT THE APPEALS. I

2:38:09THINK THE CONDITION THAT WAS

2:38:11PROVIDED IS ADEQUATE AND

2:38:13THANKFUL TO ALL WHO CAME TO

2:38:15TESTIFY. OBVIOUSLY UNDERSTAND

2:38:17WHERE EVERYONE'S COMING FROM,

2:38:18BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS THE

2:38:20TIME TO SET THE KIND OF

2:38:22PRECEDENCE THAT THESE KINDS OF

2:38:23APPEALS WOULD REQUIRE. I DON'T

2:38:25THINK IT'S NECESSARY. I THINK

2:38:27THAT THE SCHOOL HAS MADE PLENTY

2:38:30OF AN ARGUMENT FOR THE WAYS

2:38:31THAT THEY CONTINUE TO ALLOW

2:38:33COMMUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE

2:38:35CAMPUS, IN THE SURROUNDING

2:38:36GREEN SPACES, AND THEREFORE, I

2:38:39DON'T PLAN ON SUPPORTING THE

2:38:40APPEAL. THANK YOU.

2:38:42>> THANK YOU. COUNCILOR AVALOS

2:38:43COUNCILOR SMITH.

2:38:44>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

2:38:46I JUST WANTED TO GET SOME

2:38:48CLARIFICATION HERE. IS THERE A

2:38:51DO WE HAVE ANY SORT OF. LINK TO

2:38:57SAY HOW THIS THIS WHOLE SCHOOL

2:39:00WAS PAID FOR IS GOING TO BE

2:39:02PAID FOR?

2:39:04>> IT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I

2:39:06MEAN, THROUGH THROUGH THE BONDS

2:39:07OR WHAT ARE YOU.

2:39:09>> YEAH, SO THAT'S WHAT I. SO

2:39:10AM I CORRECT IN MY THOUGHTS

2:39:12THAT THIS SCHOOL, LIKE THE

2:39:13OTHER SCHOOLS, ARE PAID FOR

2:39:14WITH THE BOND MONEY.

2:39:16>> PERHAPS SOMEONE FROM THE

2:39:17APPLICANT IS.

2:39:18>> THAT IS THAT CAN.

2:39:23>> I LOOK TO LAUREN TO SEE

2:39:24WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S A.

2:39:26>> WELL, I DON'T KNOW IF SHE

2:39:27CAN COME UP, BUT THAT'S WHAT

2:39:29I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT. SO

2:39:30THOSE BONDS GET PAID BACK BY

2:39:32ADULTS WHO LIVE IN THE PORTLAND

2:39:34PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. CORRECT.

2:39:37>> LAUREN COUNCILOR SMITH I'M

2:39:38NOT SURE THAT THIS IS EVIDENCE

2:39:40THAT'S IN THE RECORD AND THE

2:39:41RECORD HAS BEEN CLOSED. AND IS

2:39:43THERE ANY DISCUSSION IN THE

2:39:44RECORD ABOUT THE FINANCING OF

2:39:48THE SCHOOLS AND HOW BONDS WORK?

2:39:50>> I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE

2:39:51OUT HOW IT GETS PAID FOR.

2:39:55>> THERE WAS TESTIMONY THAT

2:39:56THIS WAS PAID FOR BY BOND MONEY,

2:39:58OKAY?

2:39:58>> IT WAS PAID FOR BY BOND

2:40:00MONEY. AND THE PEOPLE WHO PAY

2:40:01IT ARE THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN

2:40:03THE PORTLAND PUBLIC SCHOOL

2:40:04DISTRICTS, THE PEOPLE WHO OWN

2:40:05HOMES.

2:40:06>> THAT'S GENERALLY HOW BONDS

2:40:07WORK.

2:40:08>> YES.

2:40:08>> OKAY. THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

2:40:09I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT.

2:40:11YEAH. BECAUSE I THINK THAT THE

2:40:15FOLKS WHO WANT TO KEEP IT, THE

2:40:17NEIGHBORHOOD FOLKS. THEY DON'T

2:40:22HAVE ANY KIDS AND THEY'RE

2:40:24PAYING THIS BOND. SO I CAN

2:40:28TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHY THEY

2:40:29FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD BE ABLE

2:40:31TO COME TO THE SCHOOL AND USE

2:40:33IT, BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES

2:40:34WHO ARE PAYING FOR IT. I DO

2:40:39AGREE THAT I THINK THAT THE

2:40:41SETTLEMENT THAT WAS PROPOSED IS

2:40:44A GOOD ONE, AND IT IS A GOOD

2:40:46SPACE TO BE. BUT I ALSO WANT

2:40:49FOLKS TO UNDERSTAND THAT ALL OF

2:40:53THESE SCHOOLS THAT I BELIEVE

2:40:54BECAUSE I THINK I HAVE

2:40:55SOMETHING ON MY ON MY PROPERTY

2:40:58TAX ROLLS THAT'S FOR A SPECIFIC

2:41:00BOND. I JUST CAN'T REMEMBER IT

2:41:02RIGHT NOW. AND WE HAVE TO BE

2:41:04MINDFUL THAT WE'RE ALL

2:41:06CARETAKERS OF, OF OUR PUBLIC

2:41:07SPACES AND THAT WE SHOULD TRY

2:41:11TO FIND RESOLUTION WHERE WE CAN.

2:41:13EVERYBODY'S NOT GOING TO GET

2:41:14EVERYTHING THAT THEY WANT. I DO

2:41:16UNDERSTAND THE SUMMERTIME

2:41:18HAVING THAT. EXPANDED TO 10:00

2:41:22MIGHT BE BETTER BECAUSE IT'S

2:41:24LIGHTER OUTSIDE DURING THE

2:41:26SUMMERTIME. AND I DON'T KNOW IF

2:41:27THERE'S A WAY THAT WE CAN WE

2:41:29CAN AMEND THAT. BUT I LIKE WHAT

2:41:31WAS PUT FORWARD. AND I WISH

2:41:34THAT THE APPLICANT WOULD HAVE

2:41:36SHARED THAT WITH THE

2:41:37NEIGHBORHOOD BEFORE THEY GOT

2:41:38HERE. THEY GOT BLINDSIDED WITH

2:41:40A CONCESSION THAT THEY DIDN'T

2:41:42HAVE A CHANCE TO REVIEW. SO I

2:41:45WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY WHO

2:41:47CAME HERE TO TESTIFY TODAY

2:41:50BECAUSE I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN

2:41:51WHO ALSO PRACTICE ON PORTLAND

2:41:55PUBLIC SCHOOL TRACKS, AND

2:41:57THEY'RE INVOLVED IN AND ENGAGED

2:41:59IN THERE. THERE IS SOME

2:42:01CONFUSION WHEN YOU HAVE OTHER

2:42:01PEOPLE ON THE FIELD. IT'S

2:42:03REALLY HARD TO TO PRACTICE. BUT

2:42:06I THINK WE HAVE TO BE MINDFUL

2:42:10ALWAYS ON HOW WE ALL HAVE A

2:42:13COLLECTIVE RESPONSIBILITY, AND

2:42:15THE ADULTS IN THIS ROOM ARE

2:42:17PAYING FOR IT. SO I THINK WE

2:42:19SHOULD UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER'S

2:42:22SIDE OF THIS WHOLE ISSUE. THANK

2:42:24YOU.

2:42:25>> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR SMITH.

2:42:27COUNCILOR ZIMMERMAN.

2:42:30>> THANK YOU. THIS HAS BEEN

2:42:32HONESTLY QUITE CHALLENGING AND

2:42:36REVIEWING THIS FROM A LETTER OF

2:42:38THE LAW AND LAND USE VERSUS A

2:42:40PUBLIC POLICY PERSPECTIVE IS

2:42:41ONE OF THOSE MOMENTS FOR US IN

2:42:43TERMS OF QUASI JUDICIAL AND OUR

2:42:44ROLES HERE. SO. THERE'S A LOT

2:42:50TO BE DESIRED IN TERMS OF HOW

2:42:54PS BEING AN URBAN SCHOOL

2:42:56DISTRICT IS GOING TO APPROACH

2:42:59BEING A COMMUNITY PARTNER AND,

2:43:01AND HOW TO. DO THAT WHILE

2:43:06FULFILLING THEIR DUTY AND THEIR

2:43:08RESPONSIBILITY, FRANKLY,

2:43:09PROBABLY UNDERLINE BOLD

2:43:10RESPONSIBILITY OF BEING, BEING

2:43:12A SCHOOL SO CHALLENGING. AND

2:43:15ALSO ALSO I'M RECOGNIZING THAT

2:43:18MY EXPERIENCE AS A COACH, MY

2:43:20EXPERIENCE OF SOME OF THE

2:43:21STORIES OF, OF THAT HAVE BEEN

2:43:23TOLD HERE ABOUT RUNNING INTO

2:43:24SITUATIONS ON THE GROUND OR

2:43:26MAYBE A LITTLE OUTDATED WITH,

2:43:28WITH WHAT IS CURRENTLY FACING

2:43:30THE SCHOOL. SO GIVEN ALL OF

2:43:33THAT ON, ON APPEAL NUMBER THREE,

2:43:36WHICH IS RELATIVE TO THE ACCESS,

2:43:39I DON'T KNOW IF THE APPROPRIATE

2:43:40THING IS TO PROPERLY MOVE, BUT

2:43:42I WOULD LIKE TO PROPERLY MOVE

2:43:43THE CONDITIONS THAT WERE

2:43:45PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT THAT

2:43:47WE READ AND HEARD IN THE RECORD,

2:43:49BECAUSE I DO THINK THAT, AND I

2:43:51WANT TO FRAME THIS UP A LITTLE

2:43:52BIT. I, I WHAT I LOOK AT THOSE

2:43:57AS IS, THOSE ARE THE BARE

2:44:00MINIMUM. THOSE ALLOW THE SCHOOL,

2:44:03I THINK, TO ADHERE TO THEIR

2:44:06RESPONSIBILITY, TAKE OWNERSHIP

2:44:07FOR THEIR LAND, PROTECT THEIR

2:44:10ASSETS AND SEND A SIGNAL OF WE

2:44:13HAVE TO BE, WE HAVE TO HAVE A

2:44:16REASON TO GO MORE RESTRICTIVE

2:44:18THAN THESE. AND IT CAN'T JUST

2:44:20BE BECAUSE IT'S TUESDAY. IT HAS

2:44:21TO BE. AS WE NOTED IN THERE,

2:44:23THERE ARE SOME CONDITIONS WHERE

2:44:24THE AUTHORITY STILL RESTS WITH

2:44:26THE SCHOOL DISTRICT, AND I

2:44:26THINK THAT THAT'S IMPORTANT.

2:44:28THAT WAS TO MY QUESTION EARLIER.

2:44:29I THINK BEING ABLE TO ADAPT TO

2:44:31THE MOMENT IS IMPORTANT. BUT

2:44:33THE POINT THAT AS SOMEBODY

2:44:34WHO'S DONE A LOT OF GOOD

2:44:36NEIGHBOR AGREEMENTS, I WANT TO

2:44:38COMMEND THE WAY THE APPLICANT

2:44:40SHOWED UP ON THIS ONE. I HAD

2:44:41NOT CONSIDERED IT, BUT THE FACT

2:44:44THAT THEY SAID THIS PUTS IT IN

2:44:46A WAY THAT IS ACTUALLY

2:44:47ENFORCEABLE IS ACTUALLY, I

2:44:48THINK, GOOD FOR BOTH THE

2:44:50APPELLANT AND THE APPLICANT IN

2:44:51A WAY THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN

2:44:53BEFORE IN AS IT RELATES TO GOOD

2:44:56NEIGHBOR AGREEMENT, I ACTUALLY

2:44:57THINK THIS HAS MORE TEETH TO IT.

2:45:00BUT MY PLEA AND THIS IS MAYBE

2:45:02STEPPING OUT OF THE LAND USE,

2:45:04MY PLEA WOULD BE IS THAT WE

2:45:05HEAR WHAT THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAID,

2:45:07AND IF WE HAVE A GOOD SUMMER,

2:45:08WE SAY WE MAYBE PROGRAM IT TO

2:45:11SUNDOWN INSTEAD OF 9 P.M. THAT

2:45:13WHEN THINGS GO WELL, WE LOOK AT

2:45:15IS IT REALLY THAT BAD IF IT

2:45:16STARTS AT FIVE? BUT WE'RE

2:45:18SETTING AS A BARE MINIMUM. SO

2:45:20THAT'S WHY I WANT TO MOVE THIS.

2:45:22I THINK THAT THAT'S AN

2:45:23IMPORTANT ACCESS PIECE. AND I

2:45:25THINK IT'S ALSO. AN

2:45:30ACKNOWLEDGMENT, WHILE I'M

2:45:31UNCOMFORTABLE WITH IT, AN

2:45:33ACKNOWLEDGMENT THAT SCHOOLS ARE

2:45:35BEING BUILT WITH FENCING NOW IN

2:45:38A WAY THAT I JUST THINK MAKES

2:45:39MANY OF US UNCOMFORTABLE, THAT

2:45:41THAT'S THE REALITY ON THE

2:45:42GROUND. I HATE THAT REALITY.

2:45:45AND. IT'S ALSO THEIR

2:45:49RESPONSIBILITY TO SECURE THE

2:45:50LOCATIONS OR HAVE THE ABILITY

2:45:52TO. AND SO I LOOK AT THIS AS A

2:45:53GOOD COMPROMISE, SOMETHING THAT

2:45:55WILL BE IN THE RECORD,

2:45:56SOMETHING THAT WILL BE

2:45:57ENFORCEABLE. AND I WOULD

2:45:58ENCOURAGE ALL PARTIES TO LOOK

2:45:59AT THIS AS A WIN, WIN, WIN. ON

2:46:02ISSUE NUMBER THREE.

2:46:03>> I SECOND.

2:46:04>> SO COUNCILOR ZIMMERMAN, CAN

2:46:05I JUST IN THE LANGUAGE OF LAND

2:46:07USE APPEALS, CAN I SEE THAT

2:46:08COUNCILOR ZIMMERMAN MOVES TO

2:46:10TENTATIVELY DENY THE APPEAL AND

2:46:11UPHOLD THE HEARINGS, OFFICER'S

2:46:13DECISION AND CONDITIONS OF

2:46:14APPROVAL WITH THE ADDITION OF

2:46:16THE CONDITION OF APPROVAL AS

2:46:17PROPOSED BY THE APPLICANT,

2:46:19DIRECTING STAFF TO RETURN AT A

2:46:20DATE AND TIME, CERTAIN WITH

2:46:22REVISED FINDINGS. DOES THAT

2:46:23SOUND CORRECT TO YOU? AND THAT

2:46:25WAS WHAT LAUREN JUST SENT ME.

2:46:26>> THAT'S CORRECT. AND I'M

2:46:28GOING TO LOOK TO STAFF TO

2:46:29CONFIRM THAT IT WOULD JUST BE

2:46:31THE ADDITIONAL CONDITION. IT'S

2:46:32NOT REVISING ANY OF THE CURRENT

2:46:34CONDITIONS, ADDING THIS NEW

2:46:35LANGUAGE. RIGHT.

2:46:36>> IF THE APPEAL.

2:46:38>> IS DENIED.

2:46:39>> YES. AND THEN I'M GOING TO

2:46:41LOOK TO THE APPLICANT'S

2:46:42ATTORNEY FOR TIMING TO RETURN

2:46:44TO COUNCIL WITH REVISED

2:46:46FINDINGS. TWO WEEKS. OKAY. SO

2:46:51DATE AND TIME, CERTAIN TWO

2:46:52WEEKS. DO WE HAVE THAT?

2:46:57>> WELL, LET ME CONTINUE ON A

2:46:58COUPLE OTHER ITEMS THEN. SO

2:47:00WITH RESPECT TO ITEM NUMBER TWO,

2:47:03WHICH IS THE BURLINGAME ACCESS

2:47:06ROAD COLLEAGUES, THAT'S THE ONE

2:47:09I'M MOST UNSURE OF. AND I'M

2:47:12CURIOUS IF THERE ARE STRONG

2:47:13OPINIONS OR IF YOU WERE ABLE TO

2:47:15VISUALIZE WHAT WAS DESCRIBED

2:47:16BETTER THAN I WAS, BECAUSE I'M

2:47:18HAVING A TOUGH TIME WITH THAT.

2:47:20AND WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S

2:47:22CREATING A MORE OR LESS SAFE

2:47:24SITUATION. AND SO I ON, ON, ON

2:47:28ISSUE ONE, I'M, I HAVE NO

2:47:30COMMENTARY ON THAT ANYMORE, BUT

2:47:31ON, ON ISSUE TWO, THAT IS KIND

2:47:33OF WHERE I'M, I DIDN'T GRASP A

2:47:36GOOD VISUALIZATION FOR WHAT

2:47:38WILL BE JUST WHAT WILL BE GONE.

2:47:43SO I JUST WANTED TO PUT THAT

2:47:44OUT THERE. BUT I'M ONLY

2:47:46SUGGESTING THE ONE CHANGE TO

2:47:47THE FINDINGS OF NUMBER THREE.

2:47:49>> CAN I ASK A POINT OF ORDER?

2:47:51SO I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS LIKE

2:47:53TECHNICALLY A REAL MOTION THAT

2:47:54HAS A SECOND, BUT WHAT THE

2:47:57MOTION IS, IS TO DENY THE

2:48:00APPEAL, WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO

2:48:02GO BACK AND TALK ABOUT THOSE

2:48:03OTHER ELEMENTS. I DON'T WANT TO

2:48:05DENY THE ENTIRE APPEAL YET. I

2:48:07WANT TO SOMEHOW APPROVE WHAT

2:48:10THE COMPROMISE IS. BUT I STILL

2:48:12WANT TO TALK ABOUT ONE AND TWO.

2:48:14>> THANK YOU.

2:48:15>> CAN I CAN I DO THAT?

2:48:17ATTORNEY.

2:48:18>> PERHAPS THE BEST WAY TO DO

2:48:20THAT IS TO TO KNOW THAT THERE'S

2:48:22SORT OF INTEREST IN ADDING THAT

2:48:25CONDITION. BUT COUNCIL'S NOT

2:48:26YET READY FOR A MOTION, A

2:48:29FORMAL MOTION, AND THAT WE CAN

2:48:31CONTINUE THIS DISCUSSION.

2:48:32>> OKAY.

2:48:33>> SO WE'VE GOT AN OUTLINE OF A

2:48:34LANGUAGE AND COUNCILOR

2:48:35ZIMMERMAN, I'LL COME BACK TO

2:48:36YOU TO REINTRODUCE THAT AND

2:48:38MOVE THAT, AND WE'LL SECOND

2:48:39THAT. AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO THE

2:48:40COUNCILORS THAT ARE IN THE

2:48:42QUEUE. AND IT IS. 445, Y'ALL.

2:48:43THANK YOU. COUNCILMEMBER. ANY

2:48:44FURTHER? OKAY. THANK YOU.

2:48:45>> POINT OF QUICK INFORMATION,

2:48:47I GUESS, IN THAT EXCHANGE, ARE

2:48:48YOU SAYING THAT WE CAN'T WE'RE

2:48:50GOING TO HAVE TO DO THE VOTE AS

2:48:52A WHOLE PACKAGE. WE'RE NOT

2:48:53GOING TO BE ABLE TO VOTE THEM

2:48:55IN INDIVIDUAL LIKE IF WE WRITE.

2:48:56IS THAT WHAT THAT WAS ABOUT?

2:48:58>> YEAH. SO COUNCIL, THE

2:48:59OPTIONS OF COUNCIL ARE TO DENY

2:49:01THE APPEAL AND REVISE, DENY THE

2:49:05APPEAL AND UPHOLD EVERYTHING.

2:49:06THE HEARINGS OFFICE AS WRITTEN,

2:49:09UPHOLD THE APPEAL AND ADOPT THE

2:49:11CONDITIONS THAT THE APPELLANTS

2:49:13HAVE PROPOSED, OR THIS MIDDLE

2:49:16SCENARIO, WHICH IS DENY THE

2:49:17APPEAL, BUT ADOPT NEW

2:49:19CONDITIONS. AND UNTIL COUNCIL

2:49:21HAS KIND OF IDENTIFIED WHAT

2:49:22THOSE NEW CONDITIONS ARE, I

2:49:23WOULD ASK COUNCIL TO PAUSE ON

2:49:25MAKING A MOTION SO THAT THEY

2:49:27CAN ALL BE DONE IN ONE MOTION,

2:49:28BECAUSE IT'S RESPONDING TO THE

2:49:30ACTUAL APPEAL.

2:49:30>> THANK YOU. I THINK THAT

2:49:32REASON I WAS CONFUSED IS

2:49:33BECAUSE IT'S LISTED AS APPEAL

2:49:34ONE, TWO AND THREE. SO I'M

2:49:36TAKING THAT AS THREE DIFFERENT

2:49:37ACTIONS. BUT WE'RE SAYING THOSE

2:49:38ARE ALL ONE ACTION, CORRECT?

2:49:40>> YES. THEY ARE ALL CONDITIONS

2:49:41THAT THE APPELLANT IS ASKING

2:49:42FOR.

2:49:43>> THANK YOU.

2:49:43>> THANK YOU. COUNCILOR AVALOS.

2:49:45COUNCILOR RYAN.

2:49:46>> YES, THANK YOU, COUNCIL

2:49:47PRESIDENT I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE

2:49:49THE STUDENTS AND THE COACHES,

2:49:52THE COUNSELORS AND ALSO THE

2:49:55COMMUNITY, THE NEIGHBORS. THIS

2:49:56WAS A REALLY GOOD SESSION. I

2:49:59SELDOM SEEN SUCH COMPROMISE AND

2:50:01CIVICS DISPLAYED IN ONE OF

2:50:03THESE HEARINGS. I THINK THAT

2:50:05THE APPLICANT BROUGHT NEW

2:50:08CONDITIONS THAT MET MANY OF THE

2:50:10KEY BEEFS FROM THE APPELLANT.

2:50:13AND SO I THINK WE'RE ON THE

2:50:15RIGHT TRACK HERE. I ACTUALLY DO

2:50:17BELIEVE FENCES MAKE GOOD

2:50:18NEIGHBORS. AND SO I WANTED TO

2:50:20JUST SAY THAT, AND I REALLY

2:50:23THANK P. S IS BEING CALLED TO

2:50:26HELP YOU ALL FIGURE OUT THE

2:50:28DETAILS OF HOW TO MANAGE THOSE

2:50:30OFF SCHOOL HOUR CONDITIONS. I

2:50:33THINK I DON'T WANT THE CITY

2:50:35COUNCIL TO GET TOO FAR INTO THE

2:50:36WEEDS OF SOME OF THE ISSUES

2:50:38THAT REALLY ARE BETTER SPENT BY

2:50:42THE P. S BOARD AND THE BODY

2:50:44THERE. I DO THINK UNDER CODE,

2:50:46WE'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK TO GO

2:50:48AHEAD AND MOVE THIS ALONG. SO

2:50:49ANYWAY, I'LL GET OUT OF THE WAY.

2:50:51BUT SAY THAT I'M REALLY PLEASED

2:50:53THAT WE MADE SOME PROGRESS

2:50:54TODAY. THANKS.

2:50:55>> THANK YOU. COUNCILOR RYAN.

2:50:56VICE PRESIDENT CLERK.

2:50:58>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

2:50:59YOU KNOW, THE SCHOOL DISTRICT

2:51:01REALLY IS A SISTER GOVERNMENT.

2:51:04AND I WOULD HOPE, I THINK,

2:51:06RIFFING OFF SOMETHING COUNCILOR

2:51:07ZIMMERMAN, I THINK, SAID IS

2:51:09THAT I WOULD HOPE FOR A STRONG

2:51:11COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP WITH P. S

2:51:15I WOULD HOPE FOR A STRONGER

2:51:17PARTNERSHIP. RIGHT NOW, WE'RE

2:51:19GENERATING POTENTIALLY SOME ILL

2:51:20WILL HERE. I DON'T WANT THAT. I

2:51:25VERY MUCH APPRECIATE THE

2:51:26TESTIMONY FROM THE NEIGHBORHOOD

2:51:27ASSOCIATION AND ALL THE

2:51:29STUDENTS, THE TEACHERS, COACHES,

2:51:31EVERYONE. IT'S ALL VERY

2:51:33COMPELLING IN THE MIX. AND I

2:51:36WILL I WILL CHANGE MY VIEW ON

2:51:39THE FENCE. I REALIZE THAT I

2:51:41CAN'T CHANGE IT ANYWAY, BUT I

2:51:44DO WANT TO JUST TALK A LITTLE

2:51:45BIT ABOUT APPEAL REQUEST ONE

2:51:48AND TWO. I THINK ONE, I'M

2:51:54TEMPTED TO UPHOLD THAT, AND I'M

2:51:58OPEN TO ARGUMENT BECAUSE

2:51:59BICYCLES ARE GOING TO USE THAT

2:52:02ANYWAY, WHETHER IT'S A, YOU

2:52:05KNOW, LEGALLY A PART OF THE

2:52:06RIGHT OF WAY OR NOT. AND I DO

2:52:08NOT BELIEVE AND LET ME JUST

2:52:09BACK UP. I'VE LIVED IN THIS

2:52:11NEIGHBORHOOD. I DID LIVE IN

2:52:12THIS NEIGHBORHOOD 20 YEARS. I

2:52:13SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON THAT

2:52:15CAMPUS. I RAN AROUND THAT TRACK

2:52:17AN AWFUL LOT, PRACTICED FOR A

2:52:20TRIATHLON ON THAT TRACK, WALK

2:52:22THROUGH THAT CAMPUS REPEATEDLY.

2:52:24AND I AND I GO TO THE FARMERS

2:52:26MARKET, AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT

2:52:28LITTLE PATH IS A LITTLE PATH

2:52:30AND IT WILL NOT ACCOMMODATE

2:52:32PEOPLE, DOG WALKERS AND BIKES

2:52:33ALL AT THE SAME TIME. SO PEOPLE

2:52:35ARE GOING TO RIDE THEIR BIKE ON,

2:52:37ON THE PATHWAY STREET, WHATEVER

2:52:40YOU WANT TO CALL IT, NOT AN

2:52:41OFFICIAL STREET. SO I GUESS THE

2:52:44ISSUE IS WHETHER WE GIVE THE

2:52:47NEIGHBORHOOD THE AUTHORITY TO

2:52:49DO THAT IN THE LAND USE PROGRAM.

2:52:52SO I'M, I'M WILLING TO

2:52:54ENTERTAIN UPHOLDING THE PEER

2:52:57REQUEST, NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TWO,

2:53:00ON THE PATHWAY, SIDEWALK,

2:53:03WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. I

2:53:05JUST WANT TO REFERENCE MY

2:53:07EXPERIENCE BUILDING BIG THINGS

2:53:10AT TRIMET. YOU KNOW, WHEN

2:53:11TRIMET HAD BIG MULTI-BILLION

2:53:14DOLLAR LIGHT RAIL PROJECTS, WE

2:53:17OFTEN INCLUDED THINGS LIKE

2:53:19SIDEWALKS AND THINGS THAT

2:53:20WEREN'T NECESSARILY GERMANE TO

2:53:23THE ACTUAL LIGHT RAIL TRACKS OR

2:53:27STATIONS. AND IN THIS CASE, I

2:53:28WOULD HOPE THAT THE SCHOOL

2:53:30DISTRICT WOULD PROVIDE THIS FOR

2:53:31THE NEIGHBORHOOD, PROVIDE THE

2:53:33SMALL BENEFIT, BECAUSE THERE

2:53:34ARE, AS WE HEARD, THERE ARE

2:53:36VERY FEW SIDEWALKS AND SAFE

2:53:38PLACES TO WALK IN THIS

2:53:40NEIGHBORHOOD, CERTAINLY VERY

2:53:41FEW FLAT ONES. AND THIS IS ONE

2:53:43OF THE ONLY ONES. SO I WOULD

2:53:45ALSO CONSIDER UPHOLDING THE

2:53:48APPEAL. NUMBER TWO FOR THAT

2:53:50LITTLE TEENY IMPROVEMENT, AND

2:53:52WOULD HOPE THAT THE SCHOOL

2:53:54DISTRICT WOULD FIND IT AS A

2:53:56PARTNER WILLING TO MAKE THAT

2:53:58IMPROVEMENT.

2:54:00>> THANK YOU. VICE PRESIDENT

2:54:01CLARK COUNCILOR GREEN.

2:54:04>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

2:54:05THANKS FOR ALL THE TESTIMONY

2:54:07TODAY. IN PARTICULAR, THE YOUNG

2:54:09PEOPLE. I DON'T THINK I WOULD

2:54:11HAVE EVER GONE TO A LAND USE

2:54:12HEARING WHEN I WAS IN HIGH

2:54:14SCHOOL. SO GOOD ON YOU. YOU

2:54:16SHOULD RUN FOR CITY COUNCIL. I,

2:54:20I THINK I'M MOVING IN COUNCILOR

2:54:22ZIMMERMAN'S DIRECTION. I THINK

2:54:23THE POINTS THAT YOU STARTED

2:54:25WITH ARE SALIENT, WHICH IS WE

2:54:26HAVE TO CONFINE OURSELVES TO.

2:54:30THE QUASI JUDICIAL CHOICE

2:54:31BEFORE US AND THE MATTERS UNDER

2:54:34WHAT'S LEGAL AND WHAT'S NOT.

2:54:36AND SO I'M NOT SURE IT'S

2:54:38APPROPRIATE TO APPLY THE

2:54:39CONDITIONS, THE FIRST ONES, BUT

2:54:40I'M NOT I'M, YOU KNOW, I, I CAN

2:54:43BE OPEN TO PERSUASION THERE. I

2:54:45GET THE IMPULSE. I THINK THAT

2:54:47IF THE IDEA IS TO HAVE A

2:54:49CYCLING ROUTE WHERE BICYCLES

2:54:51ARE MOVING AT A HIGH RATE OF

2:54:53SPEED, LIKE I WOULD EXPECT THAT

2:54:55BICYCLISTS IN THIS TOWN WOULD

2:54:56NOT DO SO IN THE MIDDLE OF A

2:54:58SCHOOL DROP OFF AND PICK UP

2:55:00LIKE THERE'S A CERTAIN AMOUNT

2:55:01OF LIKE PRACTICAL DISCRETION

2:55:02THAT WOULD HAPPEN. AND I THINK

2:55:03WHAT I GOT FROM THE APPLICANT'S

2:55:05CASE WAS THIS UNDERSTANDING

2:55:06THAT IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN

2:55:08ANYWAY. WE JUST DON'T WANT TO

2:55:10PUT IT INTO THE DEED, MORE OR

2:55:11LESS, OR THE SORT OF ZONING

2:55:13DECISION. SO I'M ON THE FENCE

2:55:15ON THAT ONE. BUT I'M, I'M

2:55:17DEFINITELY GRATEFUL FOR THE

2:55:19WILLINGNESS OF THE APPLICANT TO

2:55:20MEET THE COMMUNITY AND SAY, HEY,

2:55:23HERE ARE SOME, HERE ARE SOME

2:55:25MORE PERMISSIVE CONDITIONS THAT

2:55:28WE CAN OFFER YOU IN GOOD FAITH

2:55:29SO WE CAN GET TO YES, HERE THAT

2:55:33THAT'S THAT STILL GIVES THE

2:55:34SCHOOL THE ABILITY TO PROTECT

2:55:35THESE STUDENTS, ESPECIALLY

2:55:37TODAY WHERE, YOU KNOW, LEARNING

2:55:38THAT THERE'S YET ANOTHER

2:55:40ATROCITY. AND SO THAT'S

2:55:43PARTICULARLY COMPELLING TO ME.

2:55:45SO I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S

2:55:47SOMETHING BEING CRAFTED IN THE

2:55:48ETHER AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS,

2:55:50BUT THAT'S THE DIRECTION I'M

2:55:53GOING. THANKS.

2:55:53>> THANK YOU, COUNCILOR GREEN

2:55:55COLLEAGUES, I PUT MYSELF IN THE

2:55:56QUEUE. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT

2:55:58I AM SUPPORTIVE OF THE MOTION

2:55:59THAT WE HAD DISCUSSED TO

2:56:00TENTATIVELY OR TO DENY THE

2:56:02APPEAL, BUT TO ADD THE NEW

2:56:03CONDITIONS AS OFFERED BY PBS. I

2:56:05WILL JUST NOTE THAT THE

2:56:07ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS THAT THE

2:56:09THE APPELLANTS ARE ASKING FOR

2:56:12ARE NOT IN OUR ZONING CODE, AND

2:56:14THAT IF WE DO GRANT THOSE, THEY

2:56:16CAN. THEY ARE APPEALABLE TO THE

2:56:18LAND USE BOARD OF APPEALS, AND

2:56:19THERE IS NO THERE IS NO, NO

2:56:21BACKGROUND, NO PRECEDENT TO BE

2:56:23ABLE TO SUPPORT THOSE

2:56:24ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS. SO I

2:56:25WOULD BE VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THE

2:56:27MOTION TO, AS COUNCILOR

2:56:28ZIMMERMAN HAD FRAMED IT, TO

2:56:30DENY THE APPEAL, BUT TO ADD THE

2:56:32ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS. AND

2:56:34THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT

2:56:36THAT. COUNCILOR PIRTLE-GUINEY.

2:56:36TAKE IT AWAY.

2:56:37>> THANK YOU, COUNCIL PRESIDENT.

2:56:40YOU KNOW, UNSURPRISINGLY, I'M

2:56:43INTERESTED GENERALLY IN

2:56:45FIGURING OUT HOW WE CAN PUSH

2:56:46THE LIMITS ON THE REQUIREMENTS

2:56:48FOR PUBLIC ACCESS, PUBLIC SPACE,

2:56:49PUBLIC USE, AND THE PROPOSAL

2:56:53THAT WAS BROUGHT FORWARD BY THE

2:56:56APPLICANTS, I THINK, ALLOWS US

2:56:59TO CAPTURE THE NEED FOR PUBLIC

2:57:00ACCESS AND USE HERE WITHOUT

2:57:02HAVING TO PUSH THE LIMITS ON

2:57:03WHAT OUR WHAT OUR CURRENT LAWS

2:57:07AND CODES ALLOW, WHICH IS

2:57:10FANTASTIC. SO I'M VERY

2:57:12INTERESTED IN THAT PIECE OF THE

2:57:14MOTION THAT WAS MADE PREVIOUSLY.

2:57:16COUNCILOR CLARKE, I ALSO HEARD

2:57:17YOUR APPEAL TO SEE IF THERE

2:57:20WERE PLACES WHERE THERE WAS A

2:57:22LEGAL ARGUMENT TO MOVE ON. SOME

2:57:24OF THE OTHER APPEALS THAT WERE

2:57:27BROUGHT FORWARD. AND LAUREN,

2:57:29I'M WONDERING IF YOU CAN HELP

2:57:31ME UNDERSTAND SOMETHING WE

2:57:32HEARD FROM THE APPELLANTS AS IT

2:57:35RELATED TO, I BELIEVE IT'S

2:57:37REQUEST NUMBER THREE, THE THE

2:57:40ROAD ACCESS THAT THIS IS IN THE

2:57:46NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER PLANS. THIS

2:57:47IS IN A VARIETY OF OTHER PLANS.

2:57:49I KNOW THAT SPACE IS ALSO

2:57:53DESIGNATED ON OUR SOUTHWEST

2:57:54TRAILS AS TRAIL ACCESS SPACE.

2:57:58AND I'M WONDERING IF YOU CAN

2:58:00HELP ME UNDERSTAND HOW THOSE

2:58:02PLANS AND THAT DESIGNATION

2:58:03INTERACT WITH THE LEGAL

2:58:06REQUIREMENTS THAT WE NEED TO

2:58:07HOLD THIS APPEAL TO TODAY, OR

2:58:10IF THEY DON'T AFFECT THE

2:58:13CONDITIONS THAT WE CAN CONSIDER

2:58:14AS IT RELATES TO APPEALS ON

2:58:16THIS APPLICATION.

2:58:20>> SO I'M GOING TO SPEAK

2:58:22GENERALLY TO HOW THE LAW. AND

2:58:23THEN I'D ACTUALLY ASK STAFF TO

2:58:25COME BACK UP AND TALK ABOUT THE

2:58:27SPECIFICS OF THE CRITERIA.

2:58:30GENERALLY, WHEN WE HAVE

2:58:33APPROVAL CRITERIA, WE HAVE TO

2:58:34THE APPLICANT HAS THE BURDEN TO

2:58:36MEET THE APPROVAL CRITERIA. IF

2:58:38WE FEEL LIKE THE APPLICANT IS

2:58:40UNABLE TO MEET THE APPROVAL

2:58:42CRITERIA, WE CAN IMPOSE A

2:58:43CONDITION OF APPROVAL, BUT THAT

2:58:44CONDITION OF APPROVAL MUST BE

2:58:46NECESSARY IN ORDER TO MEET THE

2:58:47APPROVAL CRITERIA, THAT IS. BUT

2:58:48FOR THIS CONDITION, THEY WOULD

2:58:51NOT BE ABLE TO MEET MEET THE

2:58:52RELEVANT CRITERIA. STAFF CAN

2:58:55SPEAK TO THE ACTUAL

2:58:56NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN AND HOW IT

2:58:58RELATES TO THE RELEVANT

2:58:59APPROVAL CRITERIA.

2:59:02>> WELL, I, I HEARD REFERENCE

2:59:04TO THE TRANSPORTATION PLAN. AND

2:59:08SO I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, WE

2:59:12COULD UPHOLD THE APPEAL AND

2:59:14FIND THAT THE APPROVAL CRITERIA

2:59:16IS NOT MET FOR ONE OF THE

2:59:17APPROVAL CRITERIA FOR

2:59:19CONNECTIVITY OR NEIGHBORHOOD

2:59:21PLAN STATEMENTS ABOUT BICYCLE

2:59:23AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESS. BUT I

2:59:26THINK THE QUESTION ABOUT WHERE

2:59:27THESE PLANS COME INTO PLAY IS

2:59:30WHEN THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE

2:59:31PROPOSED ON THE PROPERTY, WHEN

2:59:33IT'S THERE'S A SUBDIVISION OR

2:59:35THERE'S SOME SOME BIGGER

2:59:36PROJECT THAT GIVES THE CITY THE

2:59:37OPPORTUNITY TO REQUIRE MORE

2:59:38THINGS. AND TAMMY, DO YOU WANT

2:59:40TO SPEAK TO THAT?

2:59:41>> YES. I THINK YOUR QUESTION

2:59:43WAS REALLY FOCUSED ON THE

2:59:45ACCESS ISSUES.

2:59:47>> I'M LOOKING SPECIFICALLY AT

2:59:49APPEAL REQUEST THREE AND

2:59:52HOLDING THE FACT THAT. WE DO

2:59:56HAVE THESE APPROVAL CRITERIA

2:59:59WHICH ARE CONNECTED TO THESE

3:00:00OTHER PLANS THAT WERE BROUGHT

3:00:01UP, BUT I UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE

3:00:04ONLY COME INTO PLAY AT CERTAIN

3:00:06POINTS. AND GIVEN THAT, YOU

3:00:08KNOW, WE'VE HEARD A LOT ABOUT

3:00:09WHAT PEOPLE WANT THIS TO LOOK

3:00:11LIKE, BUT IN THIS CASE, WE'RE

3:00:13NOT A POLICY BOARD. WE'RE A

3:00:14QUASI JUDICIAL BOARD. SO I'M

3:00:16TRYING TO UNDERSTAND WHETHER

3:00:18THERE IS A. WHETHER THERE IS A

3:00:24SPACE HERE FOR US TO MAKE THAT

3:00:27DECISION OR NOT BASED ON HOW

3:00:30THE PLANS RELATE TO THE

3:00:32APPROVAL CRITERIA IN THIS

3:00:34SPECIFIC CASE.

3:00:35>> THANK YOU. I APOLOGIZE, I

3:00:37LOST THE THREAD A LITTLE BIT. I

3:00:38THOUGHT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT

3:00:40THE THE PATHWAY THROUGH THE

3:00:41SITE. BUT NUMBER THREE, BEING.

3:00:42>> AS IT RELATES TO, YES, THE

3:00:44PATHWAY THROUGH THE SITE APPEAL

3:00:45REQUEST. NUMBER THREE WAS

3:00:47SPECIFICALLY THE APPEAL REQUEST.

3:00:49THAT HAS TO DO WITH PUBLIC

3:00:51ACCESS FOR THE BIKE AND

3:00:53PEDESTRIAN PATH, I BELIEVE. AM

3:00:55I LOOKING AT THE WRONG ONE? I'M

3:00:57SORRY.

3:00:57>> ONE OKAY.

3:00:58>> APPEAL ONE I APOLOGIZE. I

3:01:00WAS LOOKING AT THE WRONG MAP.

3:01:01THE GREEN LINE ON APPEAL ON

3:01:05PATH, ON APPEAL ONE. I

3:01:06APOLOGIZE FOR THE CONFUSION

3:01:07THERE.

3:01:08>> SO THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM

3:01:12PLAN DOES NOT APPLY OUTSIDE OF

3:01:14THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY. THE

3:01:17TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PLAN

3:01:20DESIGNATED THIS AS A MAJOR

3:01:22PUBLIC BIKE ROUTE BECAUSE OF

3:01:24THE MAJOR PUBLIC TRAIL

3:01:26DESIGNATION. IN CASE THIS EVER

3:01:29REDEVELOPS IN A WAY THAT ALLOWS

3:01:30US TO CREATE RIGHT OF WAY. SO

3:01:33IT'S NOT A BINDING REQUIREMENT

3:01:35UNLESS THIS IS A RESIDENTIAL

3:01:38SUBDIVISION, IN WHICH CASE THEN

3:01:39THE ZONING CODE DOES HAVE

3:01:42APPROVAL CRITERIA.

3:01:43>> OR EVEN BEYOND A RESIDENTIAL

3:01:45SUBDIVISION. IF SCHOOLS, FOR

3:01:47EXAMPLE, SOLD OFF ONE PIECE OF

3:01:49THE PROPERTY, AND THAT BECAME A

3:01:51PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY AGAIN, THEN

3:01:52THERE WOULD BE THIS ACCESS.

3:01:54>> THE ONLY ZONING CODE

3:01:57REQUIREMENT, THE ONLY CODE

3:01:59BASED REQUIREMENT TO DESIGNATE

3:02:01AN EASEMENT OR TO BUILD A

3:02:02PUBLIC TRAIL THROUGH HERE IS

3:02:04ONLY ACTIVATED IN THIS ZONE

3:02:06THROUGH A PLANNED DEVELOPMENT,

3:02:08A RESIDENTIAL PLAN DEVELOPMENT,

3:02:09OR A SUBDIVISION.

3:02:11>> OKAY.

3:02:11>> IT DOES NOT APPLY IN A

3:02:13CONDITIONAL USE REVIEW.

3:02:14>> OKAY.

3:02:14>> THANK YOU.

3:02:16>> THANK YOU, COUNSELOR

3:02:17PIRTLE-GUINEY VICE PRESIDENT

3:02:18CLARK.

3:02:20>> THANK YOU. JUST I'M NOT SURE

3:02:22I GET TO ASK QUESTIONS OF OF

3:02:26ANYBODY, BUT ON THE COMPROMISE

3:02:30PROPOSAL THAT CHRISTY PUT

3:02:32FORWARD ON BEHALF OF PSE, IT

3:02:34MENTIONS VANDALISM. AND I'M

3:02:37WONDERING IF IF YOU COME BACK

3:02:39IN TWO WEEKS AND WE ARE ABLE TO

3:02:42DIG INTO THIS, COULD YOU HELP

3:02:44US BETTER DEFINE WHAT LEVEL OF

3:02:46VANDALISM IT WOULD REQUIRE

3:02:48BEFORE THE GATES ARE CLOSED TO

3:02:50THE PUBLIC? I MEAN, JUST DEFINE

3:02:51THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE. THAT

3:02:54WOULD BE HELPFUL. I DON'T KNOW

3:02:55WHAT DEFINITION OF VANDALISM

3:02:57YOU'RE GOING TO USE IN ORDER TO

3:02:59CLOSE THE GATES. SECONDLY, I'M

3:03:02HOPING THAT IF WE DON'T IF WE

3:03:05DON'T UPHOLD THE APPEAL, NUMBER

3:03:09ONE, THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT

3:03:12WILL REPAIR AND WIDEN THAT

3:03:17PATHWAY BECAUSE IT IS QUITE

3:03:19NARROW AND FUNKY. AND I DON'T

3:03:22KNOW THAT I CAN ASK FOR THAT,

3:03:24BUT I'M JUST GOING TO PUT THAT

3:03:25OUT THERE BECAUSE I HAVE A

3:03:27FEELING I'M NOT GOING TO WIN

3:03:28HERE. ON THE UPHOLDING THE

3:03:30APPEAL. I'M NOT SURE, BUT I

3:03:31WOULD JUST PUT THAT OUT THERE.

3:03:34>> LOOKING TO LAUREN FIRST

3:03:35ANSWER THAT.

3:03:36>> SO REGARDING THE

3:03:38CLARIFICATION OF VANDALISM, IT

3:03:39DEPENDS ON WHAT COUNCIL INTENDS

3:03:41TO DO TODAY. SO THE RECORD IS

3:03:43CLOSED AND THERE IS OPPORTUNITY

3:03:46FOR CONVERSATION WITH STAFF. IF

3:03:50COUNCIL PLANS ON MAKING A

3:03:51TENTATIVE VOTE, THE NEXT STEPS

3:03:53ARE FOR STAFF TO GO BACK AND

3:03:55WORK WITH THE PREVAILING PARTY

3:03:57AND REVISE THE FINDINGS, AND

3:03:58THEN COME BACK FOR FINAL

3:04:00ADOPTION. SO WE WOULD WANT TO

3:04:01DECIDE TODAY WHAT WHAT THAT

3:04:06CONDITION WOULD BE AND WHAT

3:04:07THAT MOTION IS. IF IF THAT IS

3:04:09THE PLAN. I DON'T KNOW IF

3:04:13THERE'S ANYTHING MORE FROM

3:04:14STAFF. YEAH. AND THEN AS FAR AS

3:04:16WIDENING THE PATH, I'M GOING TO

3:04:18DEFER TO STAFF ON KIND OF WHAT

3:04:20THE APPROVAL IS AND AND WHERE

3:04:22THAT.

3:04:23>> CAN I BEFORE BEFORE TAMMY

3:04:24SPEAKS TO THAT. I JUST KRISTY

3:04:26WHITE, THE ATTORNEY FOR THE

3:04:28APPLICANT, WAS JUST LETTING ME

3:04:29KNOW THAT INFORMATION ON

3:04:31VANDALISM IS IN THE RECORD

3:04:32ALREADY. SO WE CAN, SO IT

3:04:34WOULDN'T BE ADDING TO THE

3:04:35RECORD TO TALK ABOUT THAT. WE

3:04:36CAN BRING THAT FORWARD AS WE

3:04:38DISCUSS THAT FOR THE FINDINGS.

3:04:39>> OKAY. SO INFORMATION ON I

3:04:41THINK THE QUESTION. OKAY, GREAT.

3:04:45>> SO AS FAR AS WIDENING THE

3:04:47PATH, AS YOU'VE HEARD BEFORE,

3:04:49THE THE EXISTING SCHOOL IS THE

3:04:52SAME CAPACITY AS THE NEW SCHOOL.

3:04:54SO THERE'S NO INCREASE IN

3:04:56TRANSPORTATION IMPACT. AND SO

3:04:59THE HEARING OFFICER DECISION

3:05:01SPECIFICALLY STATED THAT SINCE

3:05:03THE IMPACT IS ZERO, HE HAS NO

3:05:07AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE WIDENING

3:05:10OF THE PATH. AND SO THE CENTRAL

3:05:14QUESTION IN LAND USE FINDINGS

3:05:16IS NOT WHETHER OR NOT THE

3:05:18IMPROVEMENT IS A GOOD IDEA. THE

3:05:20CENTRAL QUESTION IS DO WE HAVE

3:05:22THE AUTHORITY TO REQUIRE IT AND

3:05:24WHO HAS TO PAY FOR IT? AND SO

3:05:27IN IN THIS ANALYSIS, THERE IS

3:05:30NO INCREASE IN IMPACT. AND SO

3:05:33REQUIRING IT AS A CONDITION OF

3:05:35APPROVAL ISN'T NECESSARILY

3:05:36SUPPORTED BY EVIDENCE IN THE

3:05:38RECORD.

3:05:38>> OKAY. I APPRECIATE THE THE

3:05:41LEGAL SIDE OF THIS, THE LAND

3:05:42USE SIDE OF THIS. I WOULD JUST

3:05:43GUARANTEE YOU THAT BICYCLES

3:05:45WILL STILL USE THE STREET.

3:05:46THEY'RE NOT ALL GOING TO RIDE

3:05:47ON THE PATH, AND MAYBE THE

3:05:49SCHOOL DISTRICT WILL FIND IT IN

3:05:51ITS HEART TO IMPROVE THE PATH

3:05:53IF WE'RE REQUIRED. AND THAT'S

3:05:55THE ONLY PLACE PEOPLE CAN GO.

3:05:56BUT I GUARANTEE YOU PEOPLE WILL

3:05:58CONTINUE TO USE THE ROAD.

3:06:02>> DON'T YOU?

3:06:04>> OKAY. THANK YOU, VICE

3:06:05PRESIDENT CLARK. OKAY,

3:06:06COLLEAGUES, WE HAVE EXHAUSTED

3:06:08THE QUEUE ON COLLEAGUES FOR

3:06:12DISCUSSION. COUNSELOR ZIMMERMAN,

3:06:13DID YOU WANT TO MAKE THAT

3:06:14MOTION?

3:06:19>> ALL RIGHT.

3:06:20>> IT'S STRANGE LANGUAGE,

3:06:21EVERYBODY TO SAY I'M GOING TO

3:06:24MOTION THAT. WE DENY THE APPEAL

3:06:27WITH NEW FINDINGS AS WERE

3:06:30DESCRIBED EARLIER.

3:06:31>> THANK YOU.

3:06:32>> SECOND. I THINK.

3:06:35>> CAN I JUST CLARIFY? SO I

3:06:39THINK BUT CORRECT ME IF I'M

3:06:40WRONG, THE THE MOTION IS TO

3:06:42TENTATIVELY DENY THE APPEAL,

3:06:45UPHOLD THE HEARINGS OFFICER'S

3:06:46DECISION AND THE HEARINGS

3:06:48OFFICER'S CONDITIONS OF

3:06:49APPROVAL. BUT ADD THE CONDITION

3:06:50PROPOSED BY PBS. IS THAT THAT'S

3:06:52WHAT I HEARD EARLIER. OKAY, SO

3:06:54EVERYTHING'S THE SAME. JUST

3:06:55ADDING THE CONDITION PROPOSED

3:06:56BY PBS. AND THEN DIRECTING

3:07:00STAFF TO RETURN AT A DATE AND

3:07:01TIME, CERTAIN WITH REVISED

3:07:03FINDINGS TO REFLECT TODAY'S

3:07:04DISCUSSION.

3:07:04>> YEAH. AND THE DATE AND TIME

3:07:06CERTAIN THAT WE HAVE. NEXT

3:07:07AVAILABLE IS OUR VIRTUAL

3:07:09MEETING ON 115 AT 2:30 P.M.

3:07:12TIME, SIR.

3:07:15>> YEAH. AND I WANT TO JUST BE

3:07:17REALLY CLEAR. I'M SAYING THAT

3:07:18BECAUSE I HAVE NOT SEEN FROM

3:07:20OUR FROM OUR DISCUSSION, OR DO

3:07:22I THINK THERE'S A LEGAL PATH TO

3:07:25WHAT I THINK IS A SAFETY

3:07:26CONCERN AT THAT CORNER ON ON

3:07:28APPEAL ISSUE NUMBER TWO, I JUST

3:07:30I DON'T SEE AN UP HOLDABLE ONE

3:07:32WITHIN OUR PURVIEW, WHICH MEANS

3:07:34THE LOOK GOES TO THE DEVELOPER,

3:07:36THE PPS, WHICH IS I THINK YOU

3:07:39HAVE A LOT OF OPPORTUNITY TO

3:07:40MAKE THAT CORNER BETTER, TO THE

3:07:41POINT THAT COUNCILOR CLARK WAS

3:07:42MAKING ABOUT THE PATH. WHAT

3:07:44WE'RE FINDING OURSELVES HERE IS

3:07:47TO MAKE IT BETTER IS DIFFERENT

3:07:48THAN THE LETTER OF THE LAW THAT

3:07:50THIS BODY HAS AUTHORITY FOR.

3:07:51AND THAT'S A REALLY TOUGH

3:07:52NEEDLE TO THREAD. AND I AND I

3:07:54RECOGNIZE THAT CHALLENGE FOR

3:07:55EVERYBODY. SO THANK YOU.

3:07:58>> THANK YOU.

3:07:58>> COUNSELOR ZIMMERMAN. KEELAN
