    Type 1 procedure (design review) pending

    Address: 55 N.E. Broadway

    The project team proposes replacing the existing pole sign at First Avenue and Broadway with a new pylon sign. The existing, 130-square-foot sign is 33 feet tall. The proposed sign would have approximately 102 square feet of copy and be 33 feet, 6 inches tall. The team also proposes a revision to the freestanding sign on the back lot at the freeway entrance.

    Type 3 procedure (environmental review) pending

    Address: 4420 S. Slavin Road

    Applicants: Kelsey Hinsperger and Sarah Lingley of WSP

    Owners: state of Oregon and Somkiat Anananuchatkul

    Plans call for replacing a large section of the Carolina Trunk’s large-diameter concrete sewer pipe in Southwest Portland (running from Barbur Boulevard, underneath Interstate 5, to South Macadam Avenue). The trunk was constructed in the 1930s and is showing signs of deterioration. The goal is to improve the sewer system’s reliability and allow for future stormwater and sanitary sewer separation. The new trunk sewer pipe will be installed using a variety of trenched and trenchless methods. Full restoration of pavement and landscape will take place in all disturbed areas. Surface stormwater that temporarily ponds in the project construction areas will be collected and routed to the existing trunk sewer pipe. Groundwater that seeps into the pits will be collected and removed from the site.
