What This is About
A large single lot will be subdivided into nine separate lots in an interior neighborhood in South Beaverton. The lot abuts Meadow Waye Park and according to documentation will add a very narrow connecting street and nine homes on the lot. Several of the homes have variances allowing them to be smaller than the R5 lot size. The connecting street will not support on street parking and will also create a very complex and potentially dangerous intersection near a play structure. It will also remove many large trees. Look carefully at the provided information. Although the new street looks quite wide in depictions provided, it is going to be 20' wide, which is much narrower than the streets it will connect. The consensus of most surrounding neighbors are:
- A 20' road that supports no on street parking should not connect two full width streets, as parking is already a problem for park visitors
- This development will result in a very complex and potentially dangerous, obscured vision intersection at 133rd Ave and SW Bluebell Street, a location near a small children's play structure
- Nine homes can only fit with variances permitted by the city, which indicates that there are too many for the size of the plot
You should respond if you reside in Beaverton (especially South Beaverton) or you like to use Meadow Waye Park. Many present expressed that most concerns would be addressed if Riverside Homes and the City of Beaverton widened this street to full width to accommodate parking for the park and if a gate is placed on the northern intersection.
