2020 OREGON CITY PREVENTIVE PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE Each year the Pavement Maintenance fee paid on utility bills is used to perform maintenance work on roadways. SLURRY SEAL: The process of applying a very thin layer of liquid asphalt and sand to seal the street surface. It is a preventive maintenance treatment that is applied early in the life of a roadway to prolong the life of the surface. The map shows which streets will be slurry sealed. Project Contact: Jayson Thornberg at [email protected] 2020 IN-HOUSE PAVING & PATCHING PROJECTS In order to maximize resources, City crews tackle some of the less complex paving jobs on their own using the street crew supplemented by summer workers. City crews are able to efficiently utilize equipment already owned by the City for pavement inlay work (traffic lane replace- ment) for these in-house paving projects. Project Contact: Jayson Thornberg at [email protected] HIGH STREET WATERLINE & STORM SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS—https://www.orcity.org/publicworks/project/ci-19-015 The City will be conducting a utility replacement project this spring/summer on High Street, from 3rd Street to 7th Street.The utility replace- ments will include approximately 4,000 feet of waterline, new water services and new fire hydrants, as well as approximately 600 feet of new storm pipe, new manholes, and new catch basins. Construction is expected to begin sometime in May and is anticipated to be completed by the end of August. Project Contact: John Burrell at [email protected] MEYERS ROAD EXTENSION—https://www.orcity.org/publicworks/project/ci-17-001 This project extends Meyers Road from High School Avenue to OR Highway 213 and includes extending water lines and sanitary sewer lines to serve the adjacent area. The signalized intersection at OR Highway 213 and Meyers Road will be replaced to accommodate the new leg of Meyers Road, a new southbound left-turn lane from OR Highway 213 to Meyers Road will be added, and approximately 1,400 feet of new northbound lane on OR Highway 213 will be added. Project Contact: John Burrell at [email protected] STORMWATER INFLOW REDUCTION—https://www.orcity.org/publicworks/project/ci-19-017 The project includes disconnecting known sources of stormwater inflow from the City’s sanitary sewer system and properly connecting them to the stormwater system. The City has identified six sources of inflow, along with the improvements necessary to remove these sources. Eliminat- ing these inflow sources reduces the amount of unnecessary clean surface water to be treated at the wastewater treatment plant, which can benefit homeowners with utility rates. Project Contact: Bob Balgos at [email protected] S. 2ND SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS—https://www.orcity.org/publicworks/project/ci-19-014 This project will include the design and construction of sidewalk along the north side of S. 2nd Street between High Street and Center Street and is Phase 2 of the S. 2nd Street Resurfacing Project. Project Contact: Jeremy Tamargo at [email protected] MOLALLA AVENUE STREETSCAPE PROJECT—http://bit.ly/molallaave Molalla Avenue from Beavercreek Road to Oregon Highway 213 in Oregon City is a key corridor for motorists, transit users, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The project will be making long-needed safety improvements on Molalla Avenue, and will consist of constructing roadway improve- ments mostly on the west side of Molalla Avenue to make the corridor safer for vehicles, as well as those biking, walking, and taking transit. Project Contact: Brian Van Smoorenburg at [email protected] BARCLAY HILLS DRIVE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING PROJECT This safety .roject will convert the existing mid-block crossing to a pedestrian actuated Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) crossing. Project includes reconstruction of the existing pedestrian ramps and modifications to the median to meet current Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, removal of the trees within the median and installation of a river rock surface, and installation of the RRFB. Project Contact: Dayna Webb at [email protected] ODOT—I-205 PAVING AND IMPROVEMENTS—http://bit.ly/i205paving ODOT is improving I-205 between the Abernethy Bridge and 82nd Avenue. The project repaves over 4 miles and some on/off-ramps. Con- struction will occur at night, with lanes open during the day. Visit TripCheck.com for 24/7 traffic impacts throughout Oregon. Noise-related concerns, please call 503.412.2307. Questions/Comments: Jessica Bull at [email protected] NW NATURAL UTILITY WORK NW Natural will be working in Oregon City to ensure service to our valued customers. Construction is scheduled February to May 2020 on a 1.5 mile stretch of S. Meyers Road between Highway 213 to the intersection of Clairmont Way and Leland Road. NW Natural will make every effort to minimize the traffic impact, but do anticipate some delays will occur. Lane closures will usually be 7:00am–6:00pm, Monday–Friday, and 9:00am–6:00pm on Saturday. Flaggers will send traffic through the work zone as quickly and safely as possible. Questions/Comments: Nina Carlson at 503.721.2474 PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS—www.orcity.org/projects (search for “Land Use” project types) Larger/Community Interest Projects—Development of private property for commercial or residential use, all of which have gone through the Planning Division’s (www.orcity.org/planning) land use process. These parcels are usually managed by a private development team with build- ing permits and inspections handled by the City’s Building Division (www.orcity.org/building). Public Works inspects work done to connect to City utilities and work performed in City rights-of-way (streets, sidewalks, easements). Project Contact: Josh Wheeler at [email protected]
Disclaimer: The projects identified are anticipated to be constructed during the 2020 construction season. Construction is contingent upon funding, logistics and other factors. Projects identified are provided based on the information available to the City at the time of publication. It is possible that projects/seg- ments may be removed from the construction schedule or that other projects not identified may be completed.

Stormwater SDC and Rate Study Utility Master Plans serve as a vital tool for municipalities to conduct technical reviews of previously identified needs and to update the infra- structure improvements and capital costs for years to come. Master plans help determine future rates and financial requirements and are critical components in the development planning process. The City’s previous Drainage (Stormwater) Master Plan was adopted in 1988, along with a few supplemental plans for specific drainage basins that have been completed. The newly adopted Stormwater Master Plan (2020) will guide stormwater-related priorities and Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) over the next 10 to 15 years. The Stormwater Master Plan is intended to address immediate capacity needs, replace aging infrastructure, and provide regional solutions to larger flooding and water quality challenges within the City. The updated CIP list and selected programmatic approaches included in this Stormwater Master Plan will facilitate a prioritization of the City’s resources and support future resource and financial planning. Now that the updated Stormwater Master Plan has been adopted, the next step is to identify how to fund the CIP Projects and programmatic rec- ommendations listed in the plan. In the upcoming months, City staff will be working with our consultant, FCS Group, to gather information from the Stormwater Master Plan, analyze customer and revenue and expense data, and complete rate analysis to support funding the improvements necessary to remedy system deficiencies and accommodate future growth. The City plans to complete a System Development Charge (SDC) and rate study that may result in adjustments to stormwater utility rates and stormwater SDC’s.

What is the difference between a Homeowners Association and a Neighborhood Association? A homeowners association (HOA) is a private organization generally set up by the developer of a subdivi- sion. Residents will often pay dues to the homeowners association for maintenance of common areas. A restriction on your property deed gives the HOA power to enforce Covenants, Codes & Restrictions (CC&Rs), which are a set of private rules and restrictions for your property. CC&Rs typically regulate fences, parking, home color, etc. These private restrictions are an agreement between the established HOA and property owners within the HOA. The City cannot enforce, interpret or regulate these private restrictions. Neighborhood Associations are larger geographic areas which are organized by the City. Neighborhood associations bring neighbors together to discuss neighborhood issues and plan activities. Each Neighbor- hood Association meets as often as monthly, and as seldom as quarterly. Notification of the neighborhood association meetings is generally posted within the neighborhood boundary and postcards are mailed out to residents within the neighborhood association. Presentations are regularly made to neighborhood associations by the City, developers, the school district, and the business community. You can find more information on your neighborhood association at the Oregon City website at www.orcity.org. Do I need a permit to build a porch or deck, or for a cover over my porch or deck? Permits from the Planning and Building Divisions are required for all decks over 2.5 feet above the ground or decks that are covered by a roof or canopy for an area of 200 square feet or greater. The permit ensures the structure is safe, complies with setbacks, and is not harmful to utility lines, the environment, etc. If a residential deck is less than 2.5 feet above the ground and is either uncovered or covered for less than 200 square feet, a building permit may not be needed, and the setback requirements do not apply. The following link provides more information on how to submit Planning and Building permits for your deck or porch project: https://bit.ly/2WDyz4b .

2020 National Night Out (NNO) TUESDAY, AUGUST 4 | 5:30–8:30PM END OF THE OREGON TRAIL INTERPRETIVE CENTER 1726 WASHINGTON STREET, OREGON CITY National Night Out is an annual community-building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie to make our neigh- borhoods safer, better places to live. National Night Out has been celebrated across North America on the first Tuesday of August since 1983. It’s a day when people hold parties to strengthen community cohesiveness and crime resistance, and get to know their neighbors and their local law enforcement officers. When neighbors get to know each other, they create a connected and safer community. BRING YOUR LAWN CHAIR | LIVE MUSIC | RAFFLE | FOOD | LOCAL VENDORS Prevent Theft and Burglary As we enter summer, we generally see an increase in people leaving their garage doors open and vehicles unsecure. This gives thieves easy access to you, your home, and your hard earned belongings. Here are a couple easy tips to keep your belongings safe and help you avoid becoming a victim on theft or burglary: ❚ REMOVE IT—Do not leave valuables or items that could hold valuables, such as backpacks, in your vehicle so a thief can see them. ❚ SECURE IT—Roll up your windows and lock your vehicle when you get out of it. ❚ #9PMROUTINE—One of the easiest routines is the #9PMROUTINE. At 9:00pm every night, get into the routine of double-checking that your cars are locked and secure. Also double-check that your garage door is closed and your house is locked.
Code Enforcement 320 Warner Milne Road | 503.496.1559
Reminders from Code Enforcement Please assess and maintain your property regularly and remove overgrown vegetation, dead shrubs and trees. City Code specifies:
OVERGROWN VEGETATION 8.28.010 Removal required. The owner or person in charge of any real property shall cut and remove and keep cut and removed there from all noxious vegetation, dead trees, dead brush, and dead shrubs, and shall, by cutting to a height of six inches, prevent propagation to neighboring prop- erties of wild grasses, weeds, thistles, and berry vines. A buffer strip cut to a height of six inches for a width of ten feet from property lines shall be deemed an effective method of preventing propagation of berry vines to neighboring properties.
GENERAL TREE MAINTENANCE The Code Enforcement Department would like to remind you to assess your property regularly. Low limbs and other vegetation often extend into the right-of-way, street or sidewalk, creating pedestrian and vehicular hazards. Oregon City Municipal Code 12.08.025 requires property owners to remove dead branches and dangerous limbs from street trees along side and in front of their property. Trees are to be trimmed to maintain a minimum seven-foot clearance above all sidewalks and ten- foot clearance above the street.
