BCCI;  Marv reported that they have had outstanding current event speakers.  Last month Ed House, The director of the City Library spoke of the 2500 a day participation of people at the Library.  The Board members on the Code Review Board  (Land Use) will be going to a public hearing between the homebuilders and the City, This is to make sure the codes are fair among the citizens.  About October the new handbook will be ready to present to the NAC’s.  There will be elections in November for BCCI. 1Million dollars has been pledged to help connect the Willamette trail from the River through the power line trails.  Marv also brought up the concern on Fantasy Video to be open 24 hours a day.  The Neighbors in the area are concerned that this will go through.  This will be going before the City.  The planning commission has approved the operating hours unanimously.  The neighbors are now fighting to get this stopped.  Monday night at City Hall it is open to the public, September 15, 2003.

Allen/Hall Intersection: Mike Claboe who owns the Shell station on Hall and Allen. Stated that they have been approached by the City to have bike paths put in at the intersection and expansion of the intersection.  The width of Allen and Hall would increase by 35 feet.  There would be no Shell station, Allen market, or 7-11.  The City will condemn the properties if the owners will not sell.  The owners of the small business’s feel this intersection is mature, and needs to be treated of an enterprise zone not a West Traffic collection.  This is in the beginning stages of development with the City, which will start at 12^th street on Hall to the South past Allen.  The neighbors and business owners would like the Highland Neighborhood, Vose and Central Beaverton NAC’s support in stopping this project.  In 2002 the engineering has been done.  Fall 2003 more surveying has been in motion.  Barbara made a motion that NAC put into place a committee to oppose and back the stopping of the City project 3304.  Joan 2^nd it.  Marv would like to along with Bob to check out all the facts, traffic analysis and various information be found out. Barbara will withdraw the motion in place and Joan 2^nd.  Barbara made a motion to set up a committee with Marv and Bob leading the committee and bring in Vose and Central Beaverton to research the project 3304 and report back to the NAC.  Bob asked that Mike keep us informed.  Joan 2^nd the motion opens for discussion. Voted by NAC and passed.

 

DOG Laws:  Trina Talbert said that a mastiff run across Hall at Danielle and bit Trina.  The dog was off leash.  The neighbors in the area are worried about the Mastiff and German shepherd is located at the 7450 Danielle house.  They called 911 and they said they had to call animal control to handle the dog bite case.  Marv suggested that a complaint be filed with the code enforcement with George Fesler.  The dog went to the pound for 10days because the rabies shots were not updated.  Trina will update Joan and get back to the NAC next meeting on the progress.
