Smaller, artisan, organic farms close to urban centers will become more and economically viable we need to provide them with a place to flourish. Areas that are currently farms or forest may, in the future, be better suited for recreation or wildlife rather than conversion to urban land.

The Willamette Valley is a superior agricultural area. Oregon Freeze Dry Foods, Inc. located in Albany because their customers wanted the strawberries from Valley to be freeze dried. The food industry feels there are no better berries than the ones grown in Valley. Crops grow in fertile land, not cement. Fertile land is south of the Willamette River. This has been proven to be the highest quality farmland and the best groundwater in Oregon. Less means higher prices. If we keep on urbanizing (urban reserves), will distance the availability of local vegetables, fruits & grains. Farmer markets & nurseries can disappear. There will be more imports, meaning outsourced to other countries with questionnable disease control. Imports means higher prices, lower quality. Scary, isn't it!! We have to stop.

I would hope to see the nursery and other agricultural businesses continue to prosper along I-5 south of Wilsonville.

I live in the Portland Metro area and do not want to see additional traffic congestion and air pollution added to an area ideally suited to rural use. Do not want to see more urban sprawl. The beaufiful farmlands should be preserved. Lots of warehouses and pavement would be a waste of wonderful agricultural land and, would also ruin the approach to Portland. I left New Jersey in 1975, largely because could see the writing on the wall.

Water -- the area circled [French Prairie area] is probably best agricultural land in Oregon. It requires water for crops and livestock as there are several dairies, one egg farm and a wide variety of crops. Water is vital and how would expansion of urbanization impact water use. 2. Urban sprawl - going south of the Willamette River along I-5 will add to sprawl, traffic congestion. 3. Loss of valuable farm land -- study should include how to replace this valuable asset once it is covered with warehouses or housing tracts. The reason for my concern is that I farmed in the circle area for 25 years and am quite aware of the above concerns. Clackamas County has too much housing and not enough jobs. Industrial land is being used for housing/commercial rather than industrial. Confidence in the process is lost when expansions aren't used as promised. Clackamas County does not need more housing because it would further distort the job to housing ratio, and harm the transportation system with more commuters. The other counties may need more urban reserves but Clackamas County does not. A thin band of rural reserves is all that needed.

Development of the land south Willamette River will encourage urbanization onto the highest quality farm land that is so needed for us.

I also work in the real estate development industry and do not want to see mistakes made that will prevent appropriate development to meet the needs of future users. Oregon land use is messy. I am a CPO leader in Washington County. My concern is citizens feel an erosion of land use rights, and the cost of regulation is opposing housing affordability.

From what I've seen with new urban developments the homes are really close together and they have no backyards. I know we need to fit a lot of peopole into this area, but maybe close isn't always best. More spread out developments alson with the rural reserves would be, in my mind, best way too go. Hence alot of people wnat more land but still being able to be close family and friends.

Urban and Rural Reserves - Phase II Compiled Public Input Additional comments and suggestions (lots of work thought that is) with the incentive if not sufficiently engaged, there will be considerable public outcry at the last minute, as 40- 50-year designations are about to be voted into place. I think Metro needs to lead this effort, and not rely on the three county advisory committees. The selection of a broad area to study The selection of a broad area to Note also that these forested slopes provide a sense of place for the Metro region, providing a claming, pastoral setting for the Tualatin Valley. Practically wherever you are in the Washington County, when look to the north, you see this forested range of hills that bounds us in and reminds we are part of a large landscape where the natural world can still be found. Our sense of pace would be quite different and much poorer if these slopes were covered with the same urban environment that threatens to engulf the valley floors. I’m worried about our shrinking wildlife corridors and agricultural areas near Portland. I hope my neighborhood can be/stay a rural reserve for the enjoyment of all the Portlanders who live and recreate in the neighborhood around Forest Park.

Factors in the enabling legislation are quite specific, but we mostly concerned about instances where data may be incomplete. For instance, the FEMA Floodplain Map for Washington/Multnomah County’s Rock Creek shows the floodplain extending upstream only to the county line. We have seen Abbey Creek (an eastward tributary) flood its floodplain repeatedly, a mile east of the county line! Similarly, for a 40- 50-year planning horizon, consideration should be given to the latest credible projections not too conservative, but applying the “Precautionary principle”) for sea- level rise, landslide vulnerability, water shortages in summer, etc. The ecological, carrying capacity of the Portland Basin and its watersheds needs to be part of the discussion. A final note: On the lower reaches of Tualatin Mountains, where the slopes begin to flatten and lands are suitable for farming, there is some fairly productive farmland. These lands are important to the migratory species and edge wildlife (including elk many small mammal, amphibian and bird species) that depends on them for food, while nearby forested land provides shelter, protection and connection to the larger habitat. But they are also increasingly important to urban dwellers for produce (especially fruit, vegetables and meat products). As fuel prices escalate we become more aware of the carbon costs importing our food, these local farms will become increasingly important to Metro residents, and the farms themselves will become more profitable. We need to preserve these agricultural lands from urban development as well. Not only are they important for local food production, but will continue to serve as a buffer between the urban developments and wildlife habitat of the Tualatin Mountains. n . t s men p or urban develo g hasis is on rural reserves p ricultural land in the Tualati g Response to Question 1: a is a reasonable selection of area g p e the em p Are these the areas that Reserves Steering Committee should study and analyze further?

Urban and Rural Reserves - Phase II Compiled Public Input Additional comments and suggestions Oregon land use is messy. I am a CPO leader in Washington County. My concern is citizens feel an erosion of land use rights, and the cost regulation is opposing housing affordability. Transportation is lacking the concurrency of needed funding. I advocate for less regulation based on the theory that land owners should have the freedom to do as they please with the responsibility of completely mitigating impacts to others. Watersheds (origin) and water reservoirs should be outside the development zone.

Designating rural reserves is of utmost importance. In our area that would be to stop development south of the Willamette River. The creation of a corridor similar to Seattle Tacoma would be the most negative impact on the quality of life our cities and counties that I can imagine. Any development of agricultural and recreational lands in that area would create a cascade of sprawl. Most Oregonians live here for a high quality of life and that includes the beauty farmlands.

In particular, the study area should reach out to cities close the tri-county border and along major transportation routes extending out of the tri-county area. More specifically, the study area should include: 1. That portion of Yamhill County west to OR 219, south 214, and east to the Willamette River. This brings study area to Newberg, St. Paul, Donald, Hubbard, and Woodburn. It also incor Columbia County along U.S. 30 west to the Washington County line, east to the Multnomah Channel, and u In fact, it would be interesting to see a map of the Metro re count do not consider those boundaries very much in their locational choices. The taxpayers and people who live in the area should take a high priority in this decision making over paid lobbyists! Ima Metro patently limited the proposed urban and rural reserves study area to remain within the tri-county area, i.e. the agency’s jurisdiction. However politically expedient this may be, such a limit should not be applied so early in the planning for reserves. The study area should live up to its connotation that it will examine an 97116 97202 97070 97224 Zip code Respondent t et to those destinations. No g will y Response to Question 2: to/from and how the g What additional information should be considered in defining these study areas? allowing nursery "farms" to ruin good farm land by just throwing down gravel over the valuable soil and not actually planting anything in the ground. French Prairie has themost fertile land for food/nursery products in the USA. Once developed and paved with concrete, it will be gone forever. This area is favored with rain, fertile land and farmers who wish to continue farming. Thers is no need for service jobs in casinos, warehousing, retail, etc, over the need for food! Our agricultural products are the state's biggest export and we must fight ot keep land uses for agriculture. Development of resort destinations, warehousing and trasnportation must not be allowed along the I-5 corridor. This area is unique in the USA and must remain rural. Food production must take precidence and priority over business. Needless to say, water/woods/I-5 interchanges and other costs will make this development extremely costly. Keep French Prairie Rural! While preserving as much valuable farmland possible, taking a realistic look at where development will have to occur for residential, commercial, and industrial growth. Where are people living commutin Changes in consumer preferences for locally grown, organically produced agricultural products that may favor smaller parcels, close to or even within urban areas. Ability of small rural towns (Gaston, Banks, Aurora, Barlow, etc) to grow. Impact of growth in neighboring counties, particularly Yamhill and Marion counties. See the answer to survey question 7. 97062 Response to Question 1: Are these the areas that Reserves Steering Committee should study and analyze further? 3s2w:The study area should also past the Sherwood area and continue into Newberg, Lafayette, and McMinnville. Thousands of people commute to Portland area jobs from this and farming is also important. 1s4w, 2s4w: All of the Gaston area, Yamhill, Carlton, and all of the area surrounding Henry Hagg Lake should be included in the study area for the same reasons mentioned above. I realize that this is mostly about the tri-county area, but these areas are already have residents working in the Portland area and will be growing in population along with the rest of the Portland Metro area. 4s1w. The area west and north of Auora, near the airport, should be considered for future industrial uses. The study area should include the area between current boundary (the creek) and I-5 (even though it is within Marion County).

Urban and Rural Reserves - Phase II Compiled Public Input I am very concerned with preserving our open spaces,and the problems of over population. I have property in the reserve that owned for over 50 years am trying to sell and thanks the economy and your thinking the land is yours I have lost a small fortune the last 4 years? 97202 I don't know what "information" they are considering to start with. 97133 a map that works Metro Metro
