Peterkort Development on Barnes Road

The following article is from Warren D.

Development of the Peterkort property is starting to gel. I suspect many Peterkort Woods residents have seen the clearing of the land between the Sunset Transit Center and SW Barnes and noticed that clearing is now starting on the north side of SW Barnes. The only specific plans I see are for the land adjacent to the transit center. They plan on four high density buildings there (six stories with retail on the ground floor and apartments above).

For details look at https://content.civicplus.com/api/assets/7211ad22-ff33-4d14-8b86-05cd800bb559 beginning at slide 55 and the video at https://www.youtube.com/live/u2mWDUwQzsY?si=OdBloGnQf_PgyQf starting at about 1:25:00. 

Residents of Peterkort Woods should be aware that each of our properties are subject to a Restrictive Covenant Waiving the Right of Remonstrance for Further Development that was signed by Renaissance and recorded by Peterkort Development in 2004. These agreements prohibit future owners (i.e., us) from remonstrating against development of the Peterkort property that conforms to the original Master Plan for that property. All owners should see an exception for that in their original title insurance policies. Before objecting to any development it is a good idea to review that. (I have no idea whether an agreement like this Restrictive Covenant is enforceable.  My purpose in writing this comment is just to make people aware of the fact that these agreements exist so they don’t get blind-sided by them later on.)

Ultimate development of the Peterkort property between Peterkort Woods and Barnes will be separated from homes on the south side of Windwood Way by an “open space” shown on a 2005 Partition Plat of the Peterkort property. The open space is centered on the creek and is about 200 feet wide. It is similar to the space dividing the pool area from the apartment on our north.

Peterkort annexation

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.

Requesting Peterkort Woods Documents for Selling, Insurance and Lending Purposes

If you are selling, re-financing, or insuring your town home, you may be required to produce several documents.  Some of them can be found on this site under the Resources page.   https://peterkortwoodshoa.com/resources/hoa-rules/  I try to keep them up to date.

If you need docs maintained by our HOA, Peterkort Woods information is contained on the secure website:

This website is password protected for security of data.  If you are an owner and do not have a password, call AMS ( a division of TMG) at 503-598-0552.

Most documents you will need for Insurance purposes will be on the website.

If you are Selling, Purchasing or Refinancing, most likely you will need more documents.  These are provided by AMS at 503-598-0552.  There is a charge for these documents.

Repairs when Selling your Townhome

If you are Selling your town home, you may be requested to make some repairs. Those items which are covered by the Homeowners Association should not be agreed to be done, but language should say that you will forward these items in writing to the Homeowners Association.  Repairs not covered by the Homeowners Association are yours to freely agree to and perform at your cost.

Signs

Before you or your real estate agent places a for sale sign, please read HOA rules

If you have any questions, I would be happy to point you in the right direction or you can call TMG.
