SUSTAINABILITY ADVISORY BOARD
Vision of a Sustainable Lake Oswego
A sustainable Lake Oswego is a community that meets the vital human needs of the present without
compromising our ability to meet future needs. This requires consideration of both long-term and short-
term effects on ecological, economic, and community systems. Operating sustainably means that we are
leaving a legacy for the community of Lake Oswego and the planet.
A sustainable Lake Oswego is a place recognized nationally as a model of livability—a unified city with a
vital downtown, a strong sense of neighborhoods, and a harmonious relationship with the natural
environment. The lives of everyone who lives, works, and conducts business in Lake Oswego are
enriched by a wide range of choices in transportation, housing, recreation, and culture. Our
infrastructure is sound, our finances stable, and our citizens and employees healthy and engaged.

life sustainability of our community.

whole.
c. Educate and engage the public in efforts to make the community of Lake Oswego, including
residents, businesses, and institutions, more sustainable.

A. Review Agenda
Chair Eliot Metzger reviewed the meeting agenda.
B. City Council Update
Councilor LaMotte shared items from the latest City Council meetings:
• Flag lot issue is done. 2 flag lots above parent lot will be allowed city wide. Looking at whether a
50' ROW for smaller lots is appropriate or if that's too big. Richard asked if serial partitioning can
still happen.John said Council is still looking at that.
• Forest Highlands overlay is done. Neighborhood is now rezoned.
• Affordable housing on the agenda-ADUs, list of financial incentives to look at, bringing groups
together on projects
• D Avenue will be underway soon
• Stafford-5 party agreement- Metro, Clackamas County, LO,West Linn and Tualatin
• Pool is not going forward
• Golf Course-going through with moving Parks and Rec there
• Annexation issues at next meeting
• Shorenstein requested 2-3 year extension for redevelopment of one vacant parcel. Discussed
putting housing on a vacant lot and discussed lack of bus transit to Kruse Way
• John went to a presentation on Dart Fiber-all the schools are hooked up and doing facilities
next, and then business districts. Bob has scheduled a presentation with the Lake Grove
Business Association on bike sharing.Awaiting a specific proposal from Zagster for a preliminary
bikeshare program.Also been meeting with a company in Canada that provides electric assist
bikes in their program.
C. CAP Update
Eliot is compiling open house feedback into the final revised draft to be submitted with the staff report
and resolution next week. We need to outline who is responsible for each action more clearly so it does
not appear that a few people are responsible for all the outcomes. Eliot is meeting with Heather Beck
next week to discuss the LOSD actions.The group discussed how we put a work plan together. SAB will
write a letter in support and get final draft to Jenny by Wednesday
D. Recycling/Waste Issues
The Board had a long discussion about how to proceed with addressing waste and recycling issues in
Lake Oswego-should they focus on policy or education? In proceeding with a plastic bag ban, how
should it get started and implemented?The best way to begin is to draft a letter to the City Council
encouraging them to consider a plastic bag ban and direct staff to research, gather public feedback, etc.
SAB could focus on the educational responsibilities such as outreach and working with stores on
educating employees.
The Board asked what other options to bring to the City Council to help address waste issues?They
discussed working with multi-family developments, as well as the schools.
Bob Sack then brought up a separate item about the transportation engineer vacancy. He asked if there
was a way to rewrite the job description to include public transit goals. He asked if the job is a traffic
engineering or transportation planning engineer.Jenny was not sure.
Adjournment
Chair Eliot Metzger adjourned the meeting at 8:24 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
