On March, 30, 2016, at 6:30 p.m., the City of Beaverton Planning Commission will conduct a public hearing to consider a proposal by JT Smith Companies, LLC to construct four, multi-family residential apartment buildings designed to accommodate a total of 100 apartment units. The project site is comprised of two properties located on the south side of SW Scholls Ferry Road, west of SW Sagehen Street and east of SW Winterhawk Lane. The properties are addressed as 15450 and 15536 SW Scholls Ferry Road. The properties can also be identified as Tax Lot 2400 on Washington County’s Tax Assessor Map 1S1-32DC, and Tax Lot 100 on Washington County’s Tax Assessor Map 2S1-5BA.
Specifically, the applicant is seeking Design Review 2 approval (case file DR2015-0122), Preliminary Partition approval (case file LD2015-0026), and Tree Plan 3 approval (case file TP2015-0016). The project site contains several mature trees identified by city inventory as Significant Grove NX-4. To accommodate apartment buildings, parking, access and utilities, several trees are proposed for removal.
