NEXT NAC MEETING IN APRIL AT CONESTOGA MIDDLE SCHOOL

The next meeting of the Greenway NAC will be on April 16, 2008 at 7:00 PM. We will meet in the Library at Conestoga Middle School. Our guest speaker will be the new Beaverton Mayor Denny Doyle. The Mayor wants to hear the NAC's opinions on subjects such as: the visioning project, what's next for urban renewal, bringing more family wage jobs to Beaverton, being prepared to help the needy in our area, and improving involvement throughout our diverse community. The Mayor will also share some of his thoughts on where we are today and what the future might look like followed by a question and answer period. There will be light refreshments served at the meeting. There will not be a separate mailing for the April meeting agenda as there will be a postal patron postcard sent to all addresses in the NAC. I will have agendas available at the meeting. The agenda will also be posted on the NAC Website (http://greenwaynac.homestead.com) several weeks before the meeting.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT AT 9540 SW 125TH AVENUE

West Coast Self Storage has filed a development application for redevelopment of the existing self-storage facility at the above location. The plan indicates removal of part of the existing development and replacement with a new self storage building and associated leasing office. An existing church office will be moved to one of the existing storage buildings, which will be remodeled accordingly. The new storage building will be a single main level with a basement accessed by a vehicle ramp. There will be approximately 22,000 square feet of self-storage facilities and 2,000 square feet of church office space. The proposal also includes parking modifications, minor landscape changes, and other site improvements. This application includes a zone change from NS (Neighborhood Shopping) to R2 (Residential) and Conditional Use for self storage. The application will go before the Planning Commission on April 1, 2009. There will also be a separate Parking Determination application before the Planning Commission on April 1, 2009 to establish a minimum parking requirement for self storage facilities.
