Angelo Planning Group, as a subconsultant to DKS Associates, provided land use planning assistance for an Interchange Area Management Plan to support planned reconstruction of this major urban interchange project. APG provided technical support for assumptions regarding existing and planned land use conditions and then prepared an analysis of city policies and development regulations that need to be updated in order to meet federal, state, and regional requirements for managing land uses in the vicinity of urban interchanges. APG currently is working on recommended plan policies and code amendments, which will address access spacing and local connectivity requirements. The plan should be completed by the end of 2009.
US
101 Scenic Byway Coastal Management Plan
Frank Angelo served as a lead planner of a multi-disciplinary team
working with the Central Oregon coastal communities of Coos Bay, North
Bend, and Reedsport in developing the US 101 Scenic Byway Coastal Management
Plan. This plan required extensive coordination with federal, state,
local, and community groups to identify scenic features and enhancement
projects that would qualify the US 101 Corridor for federal status as
a National Scenic Byway. The US 101 Corridor was officially designated
as a National Scenic Byway in 1998. [back]
Jackson School Road Interchange Area Management
Plan and Article VII
As a member of the David Evans & Associates' project
team, Frank Angelo was a principal author of the Jackson School Road Interchange
Area Management Plan (IAMP) and Article VII/Development Review land use application. The IAMP was developed to implement conditions
placed on funding the interchange improvement by the Oregon Transportation
Commission. The IAMP prepared land use and transportation strategies
designed to protect the function and capacity of the improved interchange.
Extensive coordination occurred with the cities of Hillsboro and North
Plains, Washington County and Metro through the Jackson School Road
Task Force to prepare the final recommended IAMP. The application presented presented alternative analyses and an evaluation of the inprovement against Washington County's development code standards for road improvements. [back]
Newberg Dundee Bypass
Mary Dorman has worked on several phases of the planning for the Newberg-Dundee Bypass project. She wrote the land use chapter of the Draft & Final Location EIS and assisted with writing the statewide goal exception for the portions of the Bypass that extended outside of urban growth boundaries on resource land, including high value farmland. Mary continues to work with ODOT and Yamhill County with refinements of the approved goal exception.
Multiple Interchange Area Management Plans
Angelo Planning Group has worked on the preparation of numerous Interchange Area Management Plans throughout Oregon . Specifically, APG staff has provided land use, policy, and implementation strategy support on IAMPs for the new Jackson School Road interchange, the North Ontario interchange, and I-5 interchanges in ODOT Region 3. APG staff is currently working on IAMPs in Salem ( Kuebler Road interchange) and North Plains (Glencoe Road interchange).
170th Avenue Expansion
Frank Angelo managed the Washington County and city of Beaverton development
review process for the expansion of SW 170th Avenue, a Washington County
minor arterial road. This $30 million dollar project involved extensive
coordination with a variety of agencies including Washington County,
the city of Beaverton, the Oregon Department of Transportation, Tri-Met,
Clean Water Services, and the Beaverton School District. Frank worked
with the citizen Project Advisory Committee on the design and impact
assessments of the project.
Because SW 170th Avenue is located in both the city of Beaverton and
unincorporated Washington County, two separate land use reviews were
required for the widening project. Frank was responsible for preparing
the Type III Development Review/Article VII application for Washington
County and the Type III Design Review application for the city of Beaverton.
Both land use reviews required public hearings. [back]
Interstate 5 Corridor Plan
Frank Angelo was lead planner on a multi-disciplinary team that evaluated
the 365-mile I-5 Corridor in Oregon and recommended improvements over
the length of the corridor. Frank was the team leader for the ODOT Region
3 (southern Oregon) portion of the I-5 corridor. Frank worked with local
jurisdictions within Region 3 to identify corridor deficiencies and
issues and develop project recommendations for immediate improvements
in the corridor. [back]
Washington
County Commuter Rail Project
Angelo Planning Group was part of the project team for
the Commuter Rail project between Wilsonville and Beaverton. APG staff
provided land use planning assistance related to the permitting for
the five Commuter Rail stations along the route. Frank Angelo prepared
a draft Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between Washington County,
Wilsonville, Tualatin, Tigard, and Beaverton that was used to guide
land use permitting for the commuter rail station areas. Frank also
worked with each jurisdiction to determine land use permitting requirements
for the various station locations. APG prepared
and submitted the development applications to each jurisdiction for
land use approvals. [back]
Brookings/Highway 101 Couplet Analysis
Frank Angelo was the project manager for the Brookings/Highway 101
Couplet Analysis that developed recommendations to convert Highway 101
to a one-way couplet through central Brookings. The analysis examined
three project alternatives (including widening existing Highway 101
to six lanes), considered future traffic volumes and patterns, and assessed
land use impacts and opportunities associated with each project alternative.
The project included community open houses to present the alternatives
and obtain citizen and business input. The study was presented to ODOT
and the city of Brookings and adopted as the preferred improvement strategy
for Highway 101 through Brookings. [back]
