Peterkort annexation

1 Comment

Owners of townhomes in Peterkort Woods should have received a letter from the City of Beaverton regarding the annexation of some property owned by the Peterkort Company.  The land in question is adjacent to but does not include any land owned by Peterkort Woods HOA.

According to the Cedar Mills News (https://cedarmillnews.com/article/1021-devt-news-west-union-gas-station-peterkort-annexation/) “The assignment of the applicable City of Beaverton zoning and land use designations upon annexation will not eliminate the existing trail or natural resource designations on the subject property.” That means any kind of development is unlikely.”

According to the article, Peterkort Company’s stated reason for the annexation request “was to consolidate all their area holdings under one jurisdiction.”

 If this annexation is approved, it will have no direct effect on PKW other than to bring the city of Beaverton closer to our property. 

A public hearing on the matter will be held remotely on October 27, 2021 at 630pm.

Public comments can be directed by email to lsmith@beavertonoregon.gov or mailboxcddplanning@beavertonoregon.gov or in writing to the project planner at PO Box 4755, Beaverton, OR 97076.

Dear Neighbors,

Please join us for a fun fall social hour.  The clubhouse will be open for a Friday night happy hour.  We are asking neighbors to donate unwanted items to the Assistance League.  It’s a great time to clear your unneeded items and donate to a great cause.  Please bring your unwanted men’s and women’s clothing, jewelry and accessories, linens, dishes, and household items (no electronics).  Everything should be in good condition.

Come to the clubhouse with your donations and get your tax deductible receipt. We’ll have a neighborly social gathering and make it a party.  You’re encouraged to bring a beverage, snacks or hors d’oeuvre to share.

If you have items to donate but cannot attend, we can arrange another drop off time and location.  If you don’t have items to bring, come anyway for this community social event. The event is open to all PKW Residents and Guests.

For more information, contact Jane Ankney at mjankney@comcast.net

Invitation to volunteer

My name is Marilyn Gray and I live here in Peterkort Woods.  I am involved in the West TV Elementary School’s volunteer program.  I would like to invite and encourage anyone in our neighborhood who might like to explore the many and varying volunteer opportunities at the school to contact me.  If I have some interest, I will invite a seasoned volunteer from the school to an informal informational meeting to share the possibilities.  Even if you have ½ an hour a week to donate, there is no better way to invest in the future than by mentoring a child or supporting a child’s teacher!

Thank you

Marilyn Gray

Update:COMMUNITY CLEANUP DAY April 30th, 2016

Image

More than 20 PKW residents participated in this year’s event.  The group broke up into four groups: wetlands cleanup, mailbox cleanup, picnic table assembly, and plantings.

Wetlands 

A small group of volunteers  removed trash in the wetlands area to our north.  (They were careful not to disturb any wildlife.)

Mailboxes

Tape residue, algae, dirt, and other substances were removed from the community mailboxes.

Tables

There are now two new tables at the pool and one each at the two urban parks and the great lawn gazebo.

Planting 

In cooperation with CleanWater Services, the Tualatin River Watershed Council donated 100 trees, shrubs, and plants to our HOA to be planted in the areas adjacent to the wetlands.  Our crew planted 70 of these along Johnson Creek in the Merrit Woods Natural Area.

Lunch

Lunch was served afterwards at the Clubhouse.

A special thanks to Sunrise Bagels (10902 SW Barnes Rd) for providing the sandwiches!

Original post: Help cleanup and beautify the areas surrounding our wonderful community.

We’ll break into teams and tackle several different areas such as:

Prepare ground and Plant NW Natives in selected areas of the community.

Clean Mailboxes, and TBD odd jobs within Peterkort.

Wetlands and surrounding neighborhood  trash collection.
We’ll meet at the Clubhouse at 10am for assignments and work together till noon. Lunch will be provided at the Clubhouse.
We will have basic supplies on hand such as garbage bags but please bring your own gloves if desired.
Lunch and T-shirts will be provided! To help defray the costs, please bring $5/person.

Please RSVP by April 11th so we can get a count for lunch, T-shirts, and hats. When signing up, if you have a shirt from last year, let us know! Otherwise, please indicate what size t-shirt to order or if you would prefer a baseball hat.

Some of you may have received a letter recently from the City of Beaverton regarding the proposed development on SW Barnes Rd. An extension for a previously approved Conditional Use-PUD application is being requested.  (see the attached documents)

Sunset Station extension notice0001

The deadline for written comments is 400pm on December 2, 2015.

UPDATE 3 FEBRUARY 2018

You may have noticed some work being done along Barnes Road. According to the Cedar Mills News, “… the work being done now is “investigational,” and might include geological reports. They (the land owners) are talking to a developer, who will share their plans when they are ready.”
