By Wendy GordonIrvington Home Tour Committee member and 2014 tour homeowner

Each year, the Irvington Home Tour features sur-prises for both tour-goers and committee mem-bers. This year, as the tours home selection com-mittee was previewing homes for the tour, they discovered the former home of renowned Portland jazz musician, Tom Grant, whose roots in Irvington run deep.

When Grant moved to one of this years tour homes, located at 1808 NE Klickitat St., it was actually the fourth Irvington home hed inhabited in his lifetime.

Grant spent his early childhood in a house on NE 14th and Klickitat, just up the block. His father owned a record store on NE Broadway, where the freeway entrance is now. He later moved the store to a downtown location. In 1950, Grant and his family moved to 1931 NE Siskiyou, where they lived until 1965. Grant attended Portland Public Schools, including Irvington Elementary, Alameda, and yes, Grant High School. (Truth be told, back then, he didnt recall any particularly stellar music offerings at any of those schools.)

As an adult, Grant and his first wife rented a duplex at

NE 19th and Stanton. And, when 1808 NE Klickitat then a rooming house for senior citizens became available, they jumped at it.

I was drawn to the neighborhood for sentimental reasons. The house was in good shape and didnt need much work, recalls Grant. And it was ridiculously cheap around $110,000. Some of the same neigh-bors he remembered from childhood still lived in surrounding homes.

Another consistent element was the family spinet piano, which had resided in all three of Grants previous Irvington homes.

There was a nice little den on the southeast corner where I did whatever music stuff I could do at that time, he recalls.

He installed recording equipment, and set up drums in the basement. He also built his one-and-only workbench, which remained his one-and-only home construction proj-ect. His wife built raised beds in the backyard.

Grant currently lives in a 1960s-era home in the Northwest suburbs. By the time Irvington became a hot neighborhood, I was long gone, he notes.

You can tour Toms former residence and six beauti-ful Irvington homes on the 33rd annual Irvington Home Tour, Sunday, May 17 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets are $25 and are available at www.irvingtonhometour.com. Tickets are also available at the Portland White House (1914 NE 22nd Ave.); Broadway Books (1714 NE Broadway St.); Caffe Destino (1339 NE Fremont St.); and the Architectural Heritage Center (701 Se Grand Ave.)

We hope youll join us for a memorable day of touring in the neighborhood.

Ever wonder who might be around to assist you in the event of a major natural disaster such as an earthquake? If you live in Portland, a corps of neighborhood volunteers stand ready to provide critical assistance when this happens. Irvington is fortunate to have a well-established and growing group of volunteers who are trained in basic first aid and rescue techniques and have set communication protocols that can be adapted to different and challenging circumstances. These team members work under the Neighborhood Emergency Team (NET) program man-aged by the Citys Bureau of Emergency Management NET Co-coordinator Jeremy Van Keuren with active participation from Portland Fire and Rescue. Each NET volunteer has successfully completed 25 hours of basic training and con-tributes a minimum of twelve hours of volunteer work each year. Many have also elected to complete additional hours for advanced training in first aid, communications and rescue operations.

To better acquaint you with these volunteers here is some information on three of them.

Kate Davenport signed on as a NET volunteer in 2012. She was already actively involved in the community but want-ed to be prepared in a knowledgeable way for a disaster. Kate has a far flung family some of whom live in New England, Washington D.C., Florida and New Orleans and they have created strategies for keeping in touch, keeping track and being able to reach each other in case of local emergencies. It seemed very natural to her to extend that to her block and the neighborhood as a whole. Kate describes herself as orga-nized and comprehensive. With a background in community theater she is familiar with wrangling volunteers. She credits her NET experience with enhancing her communication and coordination skills and keeping her focused on knowledge-based aid. Among her other community service work she has recently become a Master Gardner intern.

Calvin Smith has been a NET volunteer since 2009/09 and finds the activity rewarding on a personal level as the trainings provide skills and knowledge to prepare your home and your family or a major disaster. He also appreciates the opportunities to meet other like-minded members of the com-

munity and to bounce ideas off one another. Being a NET member has taught him the importance of diversification of skills through trainings and in creating and maintaining community at the neighborhood level. Calvin is a certified Wilderness First Aid Responder, once ran an outdoor guid-ing company in Chiapas, Mexico and now works as a Spanish immersion teacher in the Portland Public Schools.

Erik Hovmiller is our team leader and has been actively participating in NET for 7 years. He joined knowing that he naturally wanted to help his neighbors in the event of a disaster and to make certain his own natural instincts for response would result in the best outcomes possible. He also is a big fan of the community building aspects of being a member of NET and its outreach programs. His goals in guiding our team are to ensure that we have a diverse set of skills, represent neighborhood residents, and can function in a disaster by doing the greatest amount of good for the greatest number of people. Erik says he has learned so much from being in NET but that he knows he has so much more he can learn in order to help our team continue to improve its response capabilities. He is guided by the knowledge that time and again in disasters worldwide neighbors are naturally helping neighbors. He says NET capitalizes on that altruistic tendency by ensuring there is a group of trained citizens to leverage those who will instinctively help others. Erik reminds us that the city is running a strong NET program that is grow-ing, constantly improving and continuing to gain political traction. It is exciting for him to see the improvements in the program and in himself.

Getting involved is easy. Irvington NET meetings are on the fourth Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m. at Westminster Presbyterian Church. We do not meet in summer months. Everyone is welcome to attend. We work collaboratively with NETs from nearby neighborhoods and welcome new mem-bers. Our monthly meetings always include training and plan-ning activities and are a good place to build relationships with others who will be out there with us in a crisis.

To find out more about the program or to volunteer please visit the citys NET webpage at https://www.portland-oregon.gov/net or visit the Irvington NET Facebook page at www.facebook.com/irvington.net

Stay tuned for future articles about NET activities and profiles of other volunteers.

ica board members 2014-2015

From the PRESIDENTSteven Cole

When they have not been out taking advan-tage of some spectacular Spring weather, the Irvington Community Association board members have been working on a number of different issues, some contentious. These issues include commenting on the comprehensive plan, discussing the possibility of permit park-ing, sidewalk repairs, emergency preparedness, demolitions, and capital improvement plans. In addition, we sent a letter in support of Grant Parks attempt to install an off-leash dog park and continue to work with a coalition of neighborhoods and businesses to improve the Broadway/Weidler corridor. We are trying to stay current on posting letters on our website.

Speaking of our website, it has reached the level of functionality that we envisioned. Unfortunately, we had to abandon our previous website iteration. But, the cur-rent site is much easier for the majority of board members to use, which will likely result in more current and varied content. At least, thats the plan.

Some of you may have joined the social neighborhood group, Nextdoor. I recently joined but was disappointed to find that they had assigned my block, and the blocks of two other board members, to the Alameda group. Thus, I

cannot see the Irvington discussions, including a lively dis-cussion involving permit parking. Several neighbors com-plained to Nextdoor. However, they have thus far refused to include my block, and several others, that have always been part of the original Irvington neighborhood, in the Irvington group. So, I will apologize in advance for remain-ing silent on some vigorous discussions. And, if someone is aware of a work around so that I can see the discussions, feel free to email me and let me know.

Election of new board members will occur at our June meeting. We will have a couple of openings. I encourage anyone who may be interested to show up at our next meeting. If you are basing your decision on articles which you read in the newsletter, you should keep in mind that while the board often agrees, there is sometimes a dif-ference of opinion in regard to board actions. Differing views, or having ones views challenged, makes for a health-ier board. Also, if you do not believe the board is address-ing an issue which you think is important, we are more than happy to have more people involved and have them spearhead different issues.

* MAXIMUM RECYCLING *We collect -- COOKING OIL for BIODIESEL

& FOOD WASTE for COMPOSTING

On November 15th, 1974, we moved into a lovely old house we had rented at the corner of 10th and Brazee. We were a collection of roommates and children and dogs and cats. On April 15, 1975, David and I did our first collection route of recyclables in our new neighborhood.

After settling on the name Cloudburst Recycling and talking to neighbors on our street, our first route had fifteen househo lds on it. We were driving a little three-wheeled util-ity vehicle with a couple of barrels on the back, which we had borrowed. And we picked up from front porches, garages, and back yards. We considered it to be a six-month demonstra-tion project. We wanted to show the city that people would properly prepare their newspaper, bottles, cans, and alumi-num and leave them out for pick up. I think the fee then was $1.50 a month.

It was exciting and fun and we had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Because it was such a novel idea, we got calls and letters from people all around the country want-ing to know how to start recycling collection in their commu-nities. And we found the local politics of garbage to be much more interesting than we expected. Over the years we have worked with the City, other haulers, a growing awareness of recycling, and the ongoing difficulty of plastics recycling.

Now, forty years later, we still live in our beloved home. During that time we have raised a family, had several room-mates, and watched our neighborhood change with the times. When we moved in, the neighborhood was very safe and diverse. It was just what we wanted. Today, much of that diversity has been lost. We have been sad to watch that change, but we enjoy the friendly, vibrant community it has become. And, there were no coffee shops here in 1974!

With the 40th anniversary of Cloudburst Recycling, we wish to thank our neighborhood. We could not have picked a better place to live and to set off on a venture that we hoped would give something of value to our community and to Portland. We are grateful for the support, and peoples will-ingness to wash out those bottles and cans and put them out at the curb.

Thank you! -- Michela and David McMahon

Cloudburst Recycling celebrates 40th anniversary

One of the largest running events in Portland will pass through the Irvington neighborhood on the morning of Sunday, May 17.More than 10,000 runners and walkers who are partici-

pating in the Portland Rock and Roll Marathon will be on a carefully controlled route as they pass through our neigh-borhood. Organizers promise a highly orchestrated event with minimal disruption to neighbors plus a post-race cleanup crew that will leave the neighborhood clean and debris-free.

Its also worth noting that the marathon falls on the same day as the annual Irvington Home Tour. The tour, which starts at 11 a.m., is not expected to be affected by the marathon.

After crossing the Fremont Bridge, runners will enter Irvington via NE Fremont, running past Irving Park before heading south on NE 17th St. Theyll then head east on NE Thompson and turn onto NE 21st as they exit the neighborhood.

Timing for the Irvington portion of the marathon including road closures in the neighborhood will be from approximately 7:30 a.m. until 11:10 a.m. According to representatives from the Rock and Roll Half Marathon, neighbors with homes on the route will be notified before race day so they can prepare for the morning. Neighbors

who do not live on the route are encouraged to check marathon route maps to plan for street closures.

For complete details about street closures, plus a map of the route, visit runrocknroll.competitor.com/portland/road-closures.

The purpose of this article is to educate Irvington residents about the draft Portland Comprehensive Plan 2015 (the Plan), and to describe the efforts taken by Irvington Community Association (ICA) and its land use committee (Committee) to mesh the Irvington Historic District (District) with the Plan. Before you read further, it may be helpful to review the list of useful definitions provided by the City go to http://www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/article/505086. Quoted language has been taken from a City report, study, or the Plan, unless otherwise stated.

Context and background.The Plan comprises four main parts, which are intended:

. . . to work together to guide land use and infrastructure investment decisions in Portland. They include:

Goals and Policies - Long-term aspirations for Portland and the work that must be done to achieve them.

A set of maps Land use designations for growth, devel-opment and conservation.

List of Significant Projects Planned infrastructure proj-ects to meet the transportation, sewer, stormwater and water needs of Portlands current and future residents and busi-nesses.

Portions of the Transportation System Plan (TSP) Transportation policies, street classifications and street plan maps.

State law requires that the City periodically update its existing comprehensive plan and that the Metro area must always maintain a 20-year supply of buildable land.

The Plan will be reviewed by the Planning and Sustainability Commission and later by the City Council. Additional phases of the Plan will include the development, review and adoption of key implementation measures, such as zoning and code amendments.

One of the key factors in the Plan is the projection, with which some critics disagree, that Portland is expected to add about 123,000 new dwelling units between 2010 and 2035. The City staff told the Metro Council that these units will take care of half of the folks expected to move to the metro area during this time period. A recent article in the Portland Tribune, found at http://pamplinmedia.com/pt/9-news/256181-125671-where-will-portland-grow, provides a good overview of the complex issues facing the City and Metro as they work the numbers, determine whether the units will be built in a timely fashion, and decide whether the urban growth boundary should be expanded to accommodate the projected growth.

The proposed Plan Map was based on a 30-50-20 resi-dential growth strategy; that is, 30 percent of the anticipated household growth was allocated to the Central City (a small sliver of Irvington 7th to 16th, Schuyler to Broadway is in the Central City area), 50 percent to the so called Centers and Corridors (Broadway is proposed to be a Civic Corridor), and 20 percent to residential neighborhoods outside of the Centers and Corridors. According to the City, over 15,000 of those dwelling units have been built during the first 5 years of that forecast period (2010-14) or on average, approximately 3000 units per year. An average of 5,000 units must be built each year to accommodate the projections. Additional density and significant development are the results of such projections.

In Irvington, the pressure for increased density and addi-tional housing and commercial buildings will be focused on what I call the Broadway Edge, that area between NE 7th on the west, NE 28th on the west, NE Tillamook on the North, and NE Broadway on the South since 75 to 80 percent of new dwellings will likely be apartments and condomini-ums, and in Irvington, that can only be built in the Broadway Edge.

The area closest to Broadway is presently zoned CX between NE 7th and NE 16th would become mixed use zone CM3. East of NE 16th the commercial zoning is CS which would become CM2 with a lower height limit and reduced FAR. (FAR means floor area ratio. A 100 by 100 lot has 10,000 square feet of development capacity. If the zoning has a 4/1 FAR, such as the RH zone, then the development capacity is increased by a factor of 4 or 40,000 square feet of development is allowed, subject to applicable height limits

and other relevant City Code provisions.) As you move north, you encounter an area presently with RH zoning, and finally as you move another block north and to the east, that area is presently zoned R-1. These zoning designations affect density, height, massing, and scale, and under current City Code allow for significant development. Most of Irvington is zoned R-5, the most common single family zone in the city, and evi-denced by the standard 50 x 100 lot.

Specific Concepts in the draft PlanThere are two Corridor concepts, Civic and

Neighborhood where the Plan proposes to allocate half of the residential growth. Northeast Broadway is proposed to be a Civic Corridor, which means more pressure for development in the Broadway Edge. Neighborhood Corridors are smaller in scale, mostly serving the people that live in the immedi-ate area, such as places like Woodstock, Cully Boulevard, and Sellwood. Civic Corridors are bigger and served by MAX and frequent bus service. According to the City, (Civic Corridors) have the potential to be major employment and residential hubs that serve several neighborhoods. Corridors are places where change is expected, and where most residential or employment growth will occur. There are different types of corridors, which relate to the intended scale of change and development. A Neighborhood Corridor will receive less growth than the Civic Corridor.

Mixed Use ZoningSecond, the City is proposing a new Mixed Use Zoning

plan, which for Irvington will be related to the current CX and CS zones along Broadway. The Plan will change this zon-ing. For more information about the mixed use zones project, go to http://www.portlandoregon.gov/bps/article/509165. Mixed use zoning means generally that you have retail on the ground floor and housing or office above.

Down Zoning. The city has acknowledged that the current zoning allows

for a combined development capacity that is double the expected growth, after considering constraints (emphasis added). This acknowledgment means that for the next 20 years, Portland has twice as much development capacity as it needs. It is not clear to me whether the development capacity will increase or decrease after the adoption of the Plan.

As a result, the City is proposing to down designate several areas in Portland. According to the City, this means that it is possible to be more selective about where development occurs in residential zones. The Plan proposes to reduce potential future residential development in areas that are characterized by natural hazard risks (e.g., landslide, flooding), and drainage challenges, in specific areas where the currently allowed resi-dential density is not supported by street and/or sidewalk con-nections, developed parks, and/or basic services and amenities, and in one instance, to alleviate pressure to redevelop proper-ties with existing houses to multi-unit structures.

Specifically, the Plan will reduce potential residential density in several developed neighborhoods, such as portions of Eastmoreland, Reed, Portsmouth, Kenton, Brentwood-Darlington, numerous pockets in East Portland, and in the Eliot Conservation District, which is intended to preserve the remaining historic and cultural character of what was, for over 60 years, the center of Portlands African American com-munity.

It is important to remember that the zoning for the Broadway Edge and the development capacity that results from such zoning, was put in place as part of the Irvington Community Plan of 1993, which was part of the larger Albina Plan, 17 years before the District was approved. I was involved in the 1992-93 Irvington Neighborhood Plan; we did not anticipate the historic district or the significant migration of people wanting to live in Portland, Frankly, we approved zoning with way too much density, and it was a mistake that should now be corrected, which leads me to discuss the action taken by the ICA Board.

ICA ActionOn March 12, 2015, the ICA Board of Directors approved

the following three down zoning requests: 1. For the area in the Broadway Edge presently zoned

CX between NE 7th and NE 16th, change this zoning to CM2, which is the mixed use neighborhood zoning. The CS zone, east of NE 16th, is scheduled to move to CM2.

2. Re-zone the multifamily zoning in the Broadway Edge between NE 7th and NE 16th from RH to R-1.

3. Re-zone the multifamily zoning in the Broadway Edge between NE 7th and NE 22nd from R-1 to R-2.

These changes will benefit the Irvington Historic District. First, they will provide a better transition from the predomi-nate R-5 zoning, moving first to R-2, then to R-1, and finally to the commercial zone CM2. East of NE 22nd, this form

of transition already exists, from R-5 to R-2 to commercial. Second, that proposed down zoning will reduce the pressure for future residential and commercial development in the Broadway Edge. A FAR study prepared for a proposed project showed the amount of development capacity already in the zoning system, at least in the RH zone that takes up approxi-mately 10 blocks on Irvingtons Broadway edge. The RH zone carries with it a 75-foot height limit and an FAR of 4/1.

I am convinced that Irvington will continue to take its fair share of new density under the changes approved above by the ICA Board and that the District will be able to man-age such growth. I agree with Commissioner Fritz and dont support the philosophy of cramming in density at all costs. Density should not take precedence over the other factors listed above. We need a more balanced approach.

By John E. Brennan

Some Irvington neighbors have been having a lively discussion on nextdoor.com about a proposed park-ing permit program in the southwest corner of the Irvington, the most urban area of Irvington. This article is to extend the discussion. One of the criticisms of the pro-cess was that it didnt get enough input before the proposal was made. So, I am bringing the discussion to the Irvington news-letter. The proposal is on hold for now. Whats next? Whats best for the Irvington?

I saw several factors contributing to the problem or likely to amplify the existing conditions: Recent increased parking restrictions in the NE Broadway/Weidler couplet; Lloyd District and Broadway/Weidler employees parking in the neighborhood; Elliot employees overflowing into Irvington; new residential units in the Lloyd District along the streetcar line (See side-bar); new retail and restaurant space as well as office space; and streetcar commuters choosing free parking.

History of Permit Parking in the IrvingtonPrevious attempts in the area to implement the wider-area

permit parking program, like the programs in the other parts of Portland, date back decades and have been unsuccessful. More recently, the response rate required in the bigger program was its downfall. Dahlke Manor and Grace Peck Terrace presented the most substantial obstacles. Dahlke Manor is a nine-story public housing apartment community with 115 one bedroom homes, and Grace Peck Terrace is a six-story Section 8 apart-

Big changes are happening in the Lloyd District. Currently, Hassalo on Eighth is being con-structed. Three new buildings will add 592, 616 square feet of housing consisting of 657 new resi-dences, including 186 studio units, 356 one-bedroom units, 98 two-bedroom units, and 3 three-bedroom units. In addition to the 1,200 underground car parking stalls, the developers are including over 1,000 covered bike park-ing spaces along with a bike valet and repair. Adding to the area activity, there will be approximately 31,707 square feet of retail and restaurant space, 26,400 square feet of anchor retail tenant, as well as 271,000 square feet of office space for lease.

The buildings will be named the Velomor (6 floors - 5 floors of apartments + ground-level apartments and retail); the Elwood (5 floors - 4 floors of apartments + ground-level grocery retail); and Aster Tower (21 floors - 20 floors of apartments + ground-level apartments and retail). The Lloyd 700, at 16 floors of office space, will remain. The project will add a new public space between the buildings.

The developer has already submitted plans for a sec-

ond phase consisting of four more buildings immediately to the south of Hassalo on Eighth, tentatively including a 28-story building, a 20-story building, and two 10 story buildings. There will be a large public space in the center of the four new buildings, likely including a large water feature. The second phase will also add approximately 1000 additional new residences, approximately 36,000 square feet of retail and 800 parking spaces.

Other projects on the horizon include a renovation of the Lloyd Center Mall, a renovation of the former Red Lion Hotel into a boutique hotel, a new convention cen-ter hotel with 600 rooms, the Burgerville apartments, a phase three north of the Hassalo on Eighth, as well as other multifamily residences and offices.

These additional residencies, the additional retail, the offices, and the additional park space will add tremendous vitality and activity to the Lloyd District. But, as noted in the permit parking article, there is a possibility that the additional residents and businesses will affect parking in the southern blocks of the Irvington neighborhood. Thus, the need for some thoughtful conversations.

ment community. Both are for seniors and persons with disabilities and had virtually no responses. In addition, high-turnover, multi-unit buildings included in the area had very low response rates.

Mini-Area Parking Permit PILOT ProgramRecognizing a need for smaller, more flexible permit park-

ing areas, the City of Portland created the Mini-Area Parking Permit PILOT Program (Mini-APP). The proposed permit parking program in the southwest Irvington would be the first of its kind in the City. The program allows the City Traffic Engineer some leeway in implementing the program. The pro-gram is designed to be adaptable to specific circumstances.

Current ProposalThe Mini-APP must consist of a minimum of 12 block

faces or 2,400 lineal feet of curb space and have three parts: definition of the problem, evidence of neighborhood support, and proposed area boundaries. Also, suggesting hours and days of enforcement help the process along. The cost for permits is $60 per year per. Temporary and permanent guest permits are available for a similar cost.

Approval by the local neighborhood association meets the initial submissions evidence of neighborhood support. The ICA approved the proposal on March 12, 2015. Next, a ballot would be mailed to all addresses within the proposed area. One legal occupant of each address is eligible to vote.

The online discussion led to a change in the proposed boundaries. Instead of leaving a buffer zone of free parking

along the mostly non-residential blocks of NE Schuyler, the proposal now includes both sides of NE Schuyler between 8th & 11th; NE Hancock between 8th & 11th; NE 9th & 10th between Schuyler and Hancock

Additional details include a 2-hour limit between 8AM and 6PM, Monday through Friday, allowing for nonprofit permits, and proposing a sliding-scale permit fee based on existing met-rics.

Community DiscussionFolks raised several objections to the Mini-APP in the

online discussion, including concern about aesthetics of parking signs, the nature of living in the city, the lure of free parking bringing commuters deeper into Irvington, having to pay to park in front of ones home, and making Irvington less friendly. Some people dont believe either a problem exists or needs to be addressed. The tradeoffs that come with living in the urban core, including sharing the public right-of-way, were men-tioned. Most residents outside of the proposed area objected to being included in the proposal and the anticipated increase in parking in their block if they were not included.

The final major objections included concerns that having a mid-week daytime party would be difficult and that friends visiting would have to mind the clock to avoid getting a ticket. Some objected to the big-city feel that permit parking brings.

Last year a number of Irvington blocks were hit with sidewalk repair notices. The assessments were based on complaints filed by someone going by the name Dan Wallace. Whether Dan Wallace is a real person, we dont know as the city allows anonymous complaints and makes no effort to verify a persons identity or determine how many complaints that person has filed.

After a brief lull during the rainier months, the city again began assessing sidewalk repairs. A number of neighbors attended our February ICA meeting angry that they were being assessed, sometimes, thousands of dollars in repairs, sometimes for conditions that they did not view as dangerous for pedestrians, such as concrete pads in easements and driveway cut-outs. The consensus was that Commissioner Novick needed to change the process so that a single individual could not file an inordinate amount of complaints, targeting a single neighborhood.

I sent Commissioner Novick a letter asking for an in-person meeting with the neighbors. I stated that homeowners in Irvington, and perhaps in other neighborhoods, are being subject to financial burdens due to the whims of a single individual who may have motivations other than concern for the welfare of Portlands pedestrian population. An issue which many of the Irvington residents have raised is that the sidewalk code violations, while technical violations, dont actually appear to be hazards. Thus, homeowners are incurring substantial expenses for almost no benefit to the city infrastructure. The only entities who appear to be benefiting are the sidewalk contractors.

In addition, we requested that a moratorium be imposed until the policy is changed to requiring some combination of multiple complaints before action is required and/or a cap on the number of complaints a single individual can make, as well as some way to ensure that the sidewalk contractors are not the entities encouraging the complaints. When being interviewed last summer about this very same issue, Commissioner Novick stated that he would look into changing the process. A year later, and nothing has been put into place.

We also requested that the city revisit what is considered to be a hazard. It is not reasonable to expect a perfectly smooth sidewalk and the current standards are overly onerous for homeowners while providing almost no benefit to the population at large.

Finally, we requested that the Department of Urban Forestry coordinate with the Bureau of Transportation to develop a plan to encourage saving our tree canopy when sidewalk repairs are necessary, rather than continuing with the current policy which appears to be encouraging the homeowners to remove large healthy trees and replace them with trees which, even when mature, will have a far smaller

canopy and thus smaller positive environmental impact.Commissioner Novick sent the following response:Mr. Cole this is a frustrating issue for us. We have

been looking into it but keep on running into concerns such as what if we didnt respond to a complaint because it was the persons 300th complaint and it turned out to be a valid complaint and someone was injured? And we need to be mindful of ADA requirements as well. My chief of staff, Chris Warner, has been looking at this along with PBOT and can give you a more complete answer. I am sorry about the delayed response to your records request. I would be happy to meet with you if I had anything useful to say, but right now I dont know that I do!

After some back and forth with the Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT), I sent a public records request asking for all sidewalk complaints made in 2014 and 2015 through March. PBOT sent us an excel spreadsheet, listing all of the complaints. The spreadsheet made it clear that all of the recent assessments by the city were a result of the same Dan Wallace. Apparently, all of the complaints by Dan Wallace were filed last year and the city is investigating block by block.

While the records show that there are a few hyper-vigilant sidewalk complainers, none come close to the number of complaints filed by Dan Wallace. Nor does there appear to be another neighborhood hit with anywhere the number of complaints that Irvington was hit with. In fact, right outside the Irvington neighborhood boundaries there are sidewalks in far worse condition. Thus, there is a suspicion that Dan Wallace has some issue with the Irvington neighborhood. Or, maybe he walks only in Irvingtons boundaries and thus is unconcerned with the condition of sidewalks outside those boundaries.

City policy should not allow for citizens to target spe-cific neighborhoods. I am sure that Commissioner Novick, who lives in the Multnomah Village neighborhood, would not like it if an unhappy constituent targeted his neighbor-hood for sidewalk repairs based on their dissatisfaction with his governance. Nor should someone be allowed to target a neighborhood for more insidious reasons. As we stated to Commissioner Novick, removing the anonymous com-plaint allowance and limiting the number of complaints that a single person can make in a year would help prevent a person from abusing the system for reasons which pos-sibly have nothing to do with pedestrian safety. We also advise revisiting what condition should actually require a repair.

You can find the document containing the complaint data that the city sent us on the ICA website at www.irvingtonpdx.com. Also, I encourage everyone who has had to make a repair over the past year to contact Commissioner Novick and express your thoughts as to the current policy.

Possible grudge against Irvington results in neighborhood-wide sidewalk repairs

By Jim Heuer

The history of Irvington is replete with lore of the builders, early residents, and architects that helped shape our neighborhood landscape. Neighborhood amateur historian Robert Mercer, who has for the last 15 years researched the histories of all the homes on the Irvington Home Tour for each years brochure, will share his knowledge in walking tours scheduled each month from June through September, 2015.

Mercer and his partner Jim Heuer had developed a walking tour of the neighborhood originally as a command perfor-mance for the annual conference of the American Institute of Building Designers when it was held here in Portland in 2009. The AIBD conference organizers asked the Architectural Heritage Center to arrange two tours of the City: one was of the Skidmore-Oldtown Historic District, and the other was of Irvington. The ICA collaborated with the AHC in setting up the tour and asked Mercer and Heuer to plan it out.

This original tour will be the basis of the public tour sched-uled for this summer. The tour will be geared both to long-time residents and newcomers who want to learn more about the architecture and historic development of the neighborhood. If the tours are well attended, additional tours and schedules will be added in subsequent years.

Each walking tour will begin at 10am and last roughly 90 minutes on four Saturdays:

June 13 July 18 August 15 September 12There wont be a specific charge for the Tour, but attendees

will be encouraged to make a suggested donation of $10 each to the ICAs Historic Preservation Committee, which will use the funds for its programming. Reservations for each tour are required. For reservations or questions send an email to Robert Mercer at Robert@househistorypdx.com, being sure to indicate which date youd like to take the tour. The number of attendees for each tour will be limited to the first 20 people to request reservations.

Make a difference this summer volunteer for the 2015 Irvington Street Tree Inventory!Over the summer volunteers are going to be canvassing every street in Irvington to identify, mea-sure, map and evaluate our street trees. The Irvington Community Association is doing this in conjunction with Portland Parks & Recreation Urban Forestry Department. Its part of an ongoing project PP&R started in 2010 that will eventually include every street tree in the city.

So how about it? You can get out into the fresh air and sunshine, learn about our trees, connect with your neighbors and do something great to help preserve and enhance our beautiful Irvington urban forest. You dont have to know anything about trees to sign up there are training sessions for team leaders, and local arborists will be on hand to answer questions. But its a big project and we cant do it without you.

Heres when well be hitting the streets: Saturday, July 11, 8:30 Noon Wednesday, July 29, 4:30 8:00 Saturday, Aug 15, 8:30 Noon Saturday, Sept 12, 8:30 NoonExact staging locations havent been set, but the plan

is to divide the neighborhood into four quadrants. Well cover the northwest quadrant on the first inventory day and do the northeast, southeast, and southwest in that order on the following inventory days.

We need many volunteers to do this huge job, and we need them in two categories.

First, we need Team Leaders. Team Leaders will attend one 3 hour training session on how to do the inven-tory. PP&R will teach us how to identify and measure the trees, how to evaluate their health and how to locate and map each tree. If you ever wished you knew more about our great tree canopy, you should be a Team Leader. Each Team Leader will work with an untrained volunteer Data Collector on inventory days to walk the neighborhood for the inventory.

Second, we need Data Collectors. Data Collectors will pair with Team Leaders on the inventory days to do the actual inventory. Theres no additional training required for this position, but it should be fun and youre bound to finish the day knowing a whole lot more about our trees

and our neighborhood than you did before. We have a large area to cover and many, many trees, so

we need many volunteers. You dont have to attend every inventory day, but any time you can put in will be appreci-ated. Youll be making a great contribution to our neigh-borhood and our urban forest. The data we collect will be used to create a plan to improve and protect our tree canopy for years to come.

Team Leader Training will be available at one of six ses-sions:

Saturday, June 6, 8:30 Noon (Hinson Church, 1137 SE 20th Ave, Portland, OR 97214)

Saturday, June 6, 1:00 4:30 (Hinson Church,

1137 SE 20th Ave, Portland, OR 97214) Wednesday, June 10, 8:30 Noon (Mt. Scott

Community Center, 5530 SE 72nd Ave, Portland, OR 97206)

Wednesday June 10, 1:00 4:30 (Mt. Scott Community Center, 5530 SE 72nd Ave, Portland, OR 97206)

Saturday June 13, 1:00 4:30 (Mt. Scott Community Center, 5530 SE 72nd Ave, Portland, OR 97206)

So make an investment in our neighborhoods future by signing up for this project! To do that, or to get additional information, please contact Peter ONeil at treeinventory@irvingtonpdx.com

What are Street Trees?Street trees are those that grow in the right-of-way between the street and the sidewalk. They serve as a buffer between transportation

and residential activities. They filter stormwater, reduce the effects of car emissions, increase property values, calm traffic and regulate summer temperatures.

The Street Tree Inventory Project is designed to empower neighborhoods to care for this significant urban canopy.

Irvington Street Tree Inventory goals: Learn about the species and health of the

neighborhood street trees Inventory places where new trees might be

planted Increase public awareness about the impor-

tance of neighborhood trees Forge a partnership with City of Portland
