Cate, 17254 Satterlee Way, explained that he was a road commissioner when the project began and there are numerous people in support of the project who didn't attend the meeting because they felt it was a remonstrance hearing for those opposed. Mr. Cate stated that the majority of the people in the area are backing the L.I.D. Donald Lawrence, 56724 Lunar Drive, explained that he is in favor of the project but needs a couple of issues clarified. Mr. Lawrence stated that he understood that some property was being assessed at $675 and some at $400 and wondered if this was true.

Barmes explained that he had returned his remonstrance letter to the Public Works Department indicating he was opposed to the project but would like to change vote. Charlie K. Newingham (block 59, lot 1) explained that he wasn't sure if he was for or against the project and asked which road was to be paved. Mr. Hudson showed Mr. Newingham a map of the area and the road to be paved. Mr. Newingham said that he was in favor of the project. Joseph Nelson, Solar Drive, explained that the roads as they are now have cost him more than it will for the paving. Commissioner Prante asked Mr. Hudson what financing is available for the property owners. Mr. Hudson said that there was a letter sent stating that there will be ten year financing available by sale of bond, but with the election in November it may not be an available option. Mr. Hudson said that a minimal amount of work will be done between now and November in the event the County will not be able to sell bonds. Commissioner Prante asked what options would be available if bonds are not. Richard Isham, Legal Counsel, stated that the County is required in any event to offer financing whether or not bonds are sold. Being no further testimony from those in favor of the project, Chairman Young opened the hearing for those opposed. Karen Newcomb stated that she is not actually opposed except for one factor. Mrs. Newcomb read into the record a letter from Mr. Joseph G. Lymp, who is against the project because he feels that it will be of no benefit to him. Mr. Lymp owns two lots that border on Spring River Road (block 4, MEETING MINUTES - PAGE 2 'A', . VOL 55 ?Aa 158 lots 9 and 10). Mrs. Newcomb explained that she owns two properties in this area on Spring River Road and read a letter into the record. Mrs. Newcomb feels that she will receive no benefit because Spring River Road is presently paved; is already within the Deschutes County road maintenance system; and receives no access from the roads proposed for paving. There was some discussion on excluding the lots on Spring River Road from this L.I.D. Mr. Isham stated that the Board can only impose asessments against the benefited properties and if they find that certain properties are not benefited by the district, they can not be included. William DePiazza (block 17, lot 17) explained that after he purchased the property he found that it was not septic approved and he cannot justify the road be improved because his property is worthless. Mr. Depiazza explained that the septic system required for this lot is near $10,000 and there are many other pieces of property in the area not approved for septic. Ken Jones, 16873 Sharp Drive, explained that he lives in a subdivision adjacent to Deschutes River Recreation Homesites. Mr. Jones said that approximately 20-30% of the property out there is unbuildable because there is no type of septic system that can be installed. Mr. Jones continued that they are for and against the road because there is a school bus route and mail route that will be altered for favor of using this road. Wendy Jones, 16873 Sharp Drive, compained that they did not receive any notices until they received the assessment, leaving them little time to respond. Mrs. Jones asked if the bus route, paper route, and mail route will be changed to convenience the paved road, making the children walk another two miles in some areas to get to the bus. Mrs. Jones said that if these routes are changed because of the paving, they are against the project. Mrs. Jones showed the Board the current route of the bus and mail service. A. B. Caldwell stated that he understood the property owners did not request the paving but it was a project started by the County. MEETING MINUTES - PAGE 3 3I, vot 55 iui 153 Commissioner Prante stated that the property owners came to the Board and requested the project be done. Mr. Caldwell said that this will not benefit his property at all. Mr. Caldwell submitted a letter in opposition to the project from Jessie Cuff. Mrs. Caldwell stated that she asked whether this project was the people's choice and was told that this was an unusual case and was that the County initiated the project. Commissioner Prante stated that the Board did initiate the project because of the number of people who signed petitions and came to the Board requesting the project be done. Mrs. Caldwell stated that she was told that if approximately 75% of the homeowners were out of state and approved of the project, but there were enough local owners against the project they would go along with the local concerns. Being no further testimony, the hearing was closed. Commissioner Prante asked if there is some idea of the number of people locally who were supportive of the project. Mr. Hudson stated that they can run a tabulation showing the number of people locally and those out of state. Commissioner Tuttle stated as he understands it the project will not be financed until after the November election giving time to research the questions that have arisen today.
