Transportation Plans Yamhill County is a rural county located in the northwest part of the Willamette Valley and is bounded by the Willamette River on the east and the coast range on the west. Yamhill County population has more than doubled over the past 54 year period. The population of the County is estimated at 72,800 (1994 estimate) with 70% of the population living in incorporated areas. Its 718 square miles include 10 incorporated cities, with McMinnville and Newberg both over 10,000 in population. The road system consists of a combination of quiet rural routes, city streets, and busy state highways. The existing State Highway System connects with the State Capitol in Salem, the Portland Metropolitan Area, and the Oregon Coast. Yamhill County is served by state highways 99W and 18 corridors to Portland and Lincoln City, Highway 47 to the north, Highway 219 to Salem and Hillsboro, and Highway 99W and 221 to the south. These highways also bring thousands of tourists each year through Yamhill County on their way to the Oregon Coast. Yamhill County attractions include two colleges; a destination resort; a proposed aeronautic museum; numerous state, city, and county parks; two monasteries; National Register Historic Landmarks; Wheatland Ferry crossing the Willamette River; numerous vineyards and wineries; and large natural recreation areas under the National Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management. Yamhill County is also the location of a Federal Correction Facility. Located in the Mid-Willamette Valley, Yamhill County abounds with produce and agricultural products. Yamhill County Transportation System Plan (TSP) examines both short and long-term transportation needs. In the short term, the study identifies and provides solutions to immediate safety and congestion problems. For the future, the study looks at 20-year horizon, 50-year horizon and how to best move people and goods efficiently throughout the County. The transportation needs for the cities of McMinnville and Newberg have been established in their recently published Transportation System Plans. Planning for roadways in the Urban Reserve Areas for Newberg and McMinnville is covered by their Transportation System Plans. The purpose of the TSP is to develop a transportation system that meets the needs of the residents of Yamhill County, and regional and state needs. This plan provides a balanced transportation system that includes automobile, bicycle, rail, transit, air, walking and pipelines. It addresses a coordinated network of transportation facilities by including the major components of a roadway plan, a public transportation plan, a bicycle/pedestrian plan, and an air/rail/water/ and pipeline plan. It reflects existing land use plans, policies and regulations that affect the transportation system and includes a plan on how to finance future projects. The Yamhill County Transportation System Plan is intended to: Provide a multimodal interconnectivity between Yamhill County and neighboring counties and cities Maintain a positive livability for Yamhill County residents Accommodate growth as it occurs This TSP is also intended to meet the goals and objectives of the State of Oregon and Statewide Planning Goal 12 (The Transportation Planning Rule) OAR 660-12. This rule requires ODOT, the cities and counties of Oregon to cooperate and to develop balanced transportation systems. Two important aspects of this rule are: It ties land use to transportation It mandates that transportation planning reduce reliance on any one mode of transportation. Furthermore, this TSP is intended to meet the objectives of the Oregon Transportation Plan. The need to integrate all modes of transportation is recognized in the 1992 Oregon Transportation Plan. The Oregon Transportation Plan envisions a transportation system that moves people and goods in a way that provides for livability and economic prosperity for all Oregonians. The system provides Oregonians and visitors with access to goods, services, jobs, and recreation, while providing Oregon industry access to national and international resources and markets. To most effectively meet the state's needs, the transportation system takes advantage of the inherent efficiencies of each transportation mode and encourages interconnection between modes. The Oregon Transportation Plan (OTP) must be implemented through integrated state, regional, and local planning and the private sector if it is to guide Oregon's transportation future effectively. The OTP leads this process by identifying in general terms the statewide transportation system and the minimum levels of service which should be achieved. Future planning activities will provide the details of the transportation system to be developed over time in accordance with the OTP and other laws, regulations and policies. The elements of integrated transportation planning and system management statewide will include: Modal and multimodal plans developed by ODOT and other state agencies. System management developed by ODOT and other state agencies. Metropolitan area plans developed through Metropolitan Transportation Planning Organization (MPO) planning processes in conformity with state and federal laws, plans, policies, and rules. Plans developed by local governments and special districts. County and city transportation planning shall be consistent with the OTP, the Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) Transportation Planning Rule, the State Implementation Plan under the Clean Air Act Amendments, and the regional transportation system plan. In general, the Transportation System Plan should provide the following: Transportation facility goals and policies; Goals, policies, and procedures concerning improvement and development of transportation facilities; Goals, policies, and procedures concerning relationships between land use and transportation facilities; A list of transportation projects concerning improvements of roadways, intersections, and bridges in the County; A list of State projects that are part of the State Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and projects that the County would like to see included in future TIPs; Feasibility studies that the County would like to see accomplished during the planning period; New programs the County wishes to institute during the planning period; Projects, ideas, improvements and innovations that the County supports. Chapter 2 will provide background information and an inventory of the existing Transportation System as well as deficient transportation facilities in the County. Chapter 3 will provide a Transportation forecast for Yamhill County including population, employment, and traffic. Chapter 4 will address the transportation needs of the County based on the outcome of the forecasts and inventory analysis and the concerns of a wide spectrum of Yamhill County citizens. The transportation system plan is then outlined in Chapter 5 with recommended goals and policies, as well as a list of proposed transportation projects; and finally a transportation finance plan is addressed in Chapter 6. 2. Inventory And Background 2.1 Existing Plans, Policies, Standards and Laws The evaluation of current plans and policies forms the basis of Yamhill County Transportation System Plan (TSP). In addition to reviewing the comprehensive plans of all ten incorporated cities in Yamhill County the following plans were reviewed prior to developing the County's TSP: 2.1.1 COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Yamhill County adopted a Comprehensive Plan in 1974 following a major planning effort to chart the future for the community and follow through with a strong commitment to implementation. The 1974 Plan directs the bulk of urban development to existing urban centers and calls for the preservation of highly productive farm and forest land. The 1974 Plan also provides for rural residential development in limited areas. The 1974 Plan was visionary in anticipating the linkage of transportation and land use. Included in the Plan is a thoughtful discussion of issues which are as meaningful and relevant in 1995 as they were in 1974: Because a high priority is placed on mobility, large commitments in money and land have been made to provide transportation which is fast, efficient and safe. The present system is heavily dominated by roads, reflecting a dependence on automobiles and trucks. The willingness to make additional large commitments to this pattern of transportation is being tempered by a growing awareness of its increasing costs. Commuting to work in Portland and Salem has been made more convenient for residents in the northeast and southern parts of the County. This has resulted in pressure to convert farm and forest lands to urban and rural residential uses. It is now apparent that systems which encourage heavy reliance on the automobile also encourage energy waste, air pollution, and the consumption of large amounts of land. Possibilities of improved mass transit, including bus and rail service to move both goods and people, should be explored. Attractive and convenient pedestrian and bicycle paths should be integrated into the open space network and provide a useful transportation function as well. Whatever the optimum design of the transportation system may include, it cannot be achieved at the local level alone. The dominant feature of the road network on the Plan Map is the Highway 99W-18 major arterial crossing the County. It serves local and inter-city traffic, commuter traffic oriented to the Portland metropolitan area, and tourist and weekend vacation traffic

  • Descriptive Analysis of Human Remains from the Fuller and Fanning Mounds
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF David Stepp for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in the co- departments of Anthropology, Zoology, and Statistics presented onFebruary 2, 1994. Title :Descriptive Analysis of Human Remains from the Fuller and Fanning Mounds, Yamhill River, Willamette Valley, Oregon Redacted for Privacy Abstract Approved : Roberta Hall The study presents the results of a descriptive analysis of the skeletal remains of 66 individuals recovered from the Fuller and Fanning Mound sites, located on the Yamhill River, Willamette Valley, Oregon, excavated in 1941-42 by W. T. Edmundson and William S. Laughlin. The literature and original field notes have been analyzed, and a description of burial type, side, orientation, grave type, associations, original preservation, and other information has been compiled for each individual. A tally of each of these burial attributes for the Yamhill population as a whole is also completed. In addition, an assessment of age, sex, and stature, a series of craniometric measurements, and non-metric traits, a dental analysis, and general description of obvious pathologic and morphologic condition of each individual and the group as a whole have been accomplished. Differences in trade item associations between deformed and non-deformed individuals suggest either a later arrival of cranial deformation practices (and possibly another cultural group) to the area, and possibly a multiple occupation of the Fuller and Fanning sites, or an elite class separation defined in part by artificial deformation of crania. Cranial deformation is also associated with the frequency of certain cranial discrete traits. Sexual dimorphism was noted in metric but not in non-metric analyses.

  • Four Deaths: the Near Destruction of Western
    DAVID G. LEWIS Four Deaths The Near Destruction of Western Oregon Tribes and Native Lifeways, Removal to the Reservation, and Erasure from History THE NOTIONS OF DEATH and genocide within the tribes of western Oregon are convoluted. History partially records our removal and near genocide by colonists, but there is little record of the depth of these events — of the dramatic scale of near destruction of our peoples and their cultural life ways. Since contact with newcomers, death has come to the tribes of western Oregon in a variety of ways — through epidemic sicknesses, followed by attempted genocide, forced marches onto reservations, reduction of land holdings, broken treaty promises, attempts to destroy tribal culture through assimilation, and the termination of federal recognition of sovereign, tribal status. Death, then, has been experienced literally, culturally, legally, and even in scholarship; for well over a century, tribal people were not consulted and were not adequately represented in historical writing. Still, the people have survived, restoring their recognized tribal status and building structures to maintain and regain the people’s health and cultural well-being. This legacy of death and survival is shared by all the tribes of Oregon, though specific details vary, but the story is not well known or understood by the state’s general public. Such historical ignorance is another kind of death — one marked by both myth and silence. An especially persistent myth is the notion that there lived and died a “last” member of a particular tribe or people. The idea began in the late nineteenth century, when social scientists who saw population declines at the reservations feared that the tribes would die off before scholars could collect their data and complete their studies.

  • Watershed Characteristics
    SECTION 2 Watershed Characteristics This section describes drainage characteristics unique to the City of McMinnville and the watersheds that drain through the City. The following drainage characteristics are summarized: location, study area parameters, climate, soil conditions, topography, groundwater, existing drainage facilities, and existing and future land use conditions. This information will be used in the master plan to evaluate the performance of the existing drainage facilities and to identify future drainage requirements. 2.1 Location The City of McMinnville is located in Yamhill County, situated in the northern Willamette Valley between the Coastal and Cascade Mountain ranges. It is approximately 35 miles southwest of Portland and 26 miles northwest of Salem, Oregon. The City of McMinnville is mostly situated between the North and South Forks of the Yamhill River just upstream of their confluence. The Yamhill River flows northeastward from McMinnville approximately 7 miles before reaching the Willamette River. Four major waterways drain the City of McMinnville: Cozine Creek with its branches, Baker Creek, North Yamhill River, and the South Yamhill River. Figure 2-1, Topography Map, shows the location of these four major waterways. The area of the entire watershed that drains McMinnville and drains through the McMinnville urban growth boundary (UGB) is approximately 10,727 acres, 50 percent of which is drained by Cozine Creek. Cozine Creek, in turn, discharges into the South Fork of the Yamhill River. 2.2 Study Area Delineation While this master plan considers the runoff impact from the entire watershed that drains through the City, the specific study area for this plan is the McMinnville UGB.
