VOTE: MEETING MINUTES - PAGE 1 PRANTE, yes; YOUNG, yes; TUTTLE, no vo. 55 PaE293 Public Hearing George Read, Planning Staff, explained that several on Amendment months ago, Mr. Jack Baker from the LaPine area to PL -15, applied to amend the ordinance to allow more than one Allowing structure on a lot in a commercial zone for future Shopping commercial development. Mr. Read continued that under Complexes as the current zoning ordinance only one principal a Conditional structure is allowed on any lot in the residential Uses in Rural zones and commercial zones. In the past, a lot Service partition was required to build more than one Center Zones commercial structure on a parcel of land, or the (action item) structures were required to be connected in some manner. The Planning Commission recommended that the Board of Commissioners approve the amendment to the ordinance, which would allow commercial complexes subject to a conditional use procedure. The Planning Commission had several concerns that the uses be integrated and managed as one unit. Input was received from the Department of Land Conservation and Development and Thousand Friends of Oregon, who were concerned that this proposal would allow major shopping centers in rural services centers, drawing people away from the urban growth areas. Mr. Read continued that in order to address this concern, the Planning Staff is proposing an addition within the ordinance (..the proposed shopping complex is appropriate for serving the needs of the rural residence of the area and that the proposed shopping complex will not attract residences outside of the rural area to be serviced...). This is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan because the intent of the Rural Service Center zone is to provide for the needs of the rural population in the area with some incidental use by tourists passing through. MOTION: PRANTE moved to read first and second reading by title. TUTTLE: Second VOTE: UNANIMOUS APPROVAL Chairman Young read the title of Ordinance No. 84-023 for the first and.second readings.

The plan is developed through an inventory of the resources in the park that currently exist and an assessment of recreational needs, both local and statewide. Ms. Carder said that the most important elements in a master plan are the development plan and the land use plan. The land use plans are comprised of four different classifications. Primary protection area is the most development restrictive classification, applied to areas constituting important or critical resources either scenic or recreational. Secondary protection area is a less restrictive classification applied to areas of the park where resources are variable in quality and have variable scenic and recreational value to the park. Major and limited development area classifications are where the natural resource systems are capable of supporting intensive recreational uses and development without suffering any adverse impacts. Mr. Carder continued her presentation by showing slides of the State Parks included in the master plan, where they are located, and an outline of facilities. The four State Parks in Deschutes County included in the plan are: LaPine State Recreation Area, Cline Falls State Park, Tumalo State Park and Pilot Butte State Park.

VOTE: TUTTLE, yes; PRANTE, yes; YOUNG, no Commissioner Tuttle stated that he has discussed some possibilities with Jay Turley, City of Bend, in terms the specifics of the airport transaction. Commissioner Tuttle asked if the City is willing to make a commitment as to some direct offset to this particular transaction. Chairman Young said that the agreement says that the transfer shall be of no cost to either party. Jay Turley, Assistant City Manager, said that his understanding of the agreement is that the provisions that relate to the transfer of properties are permissive. Mr. Turley said that he feels that there is flexibility in the agreement for case-by-case review of requests and conditions could be placed on the transfers. Commissioner Tuttle asked Legal Counsel if in the event of a land exchange the County could request compensation of some form from the City, either in-kind services, fees, cash, etc. Richard Isham explained that this portion of the agreement was unchanged from the City's draft and it was his understanding that the intent was.that the transfer of property was intended to be without going through the sales process. Mr. Isham continued that the cooperative ventures in consideration of exchange was not intended to inhibit compensation.

Commissioner Tuttle recommended that for purposes of the airport exchange the County request the City consider specific waiving all of the items discussed in paragraph 1 of the outline in the cooperative agreement, i.e. land use fees, building fees, and inspection fees, for a period of one year. Mr. Tuttle asked if the City has considered a request he made to Mr. Turley that they consider expending City funds in an cooperative effort to relocate a waterline that would be to the benefit of the future overpass on Division Street. Commissioner Prante also stipulated that the property would remain in public ownership. Mr. Turley stated that with regard to the waterline on 0. B. Riley Road, the City did not include in the budget any allocation for 84/85 to accomplish this project. Mr. Turley said that they want to work with the County in relocating the waterline to the extent they can, but financial resources are going to be dependent on the kinds of bids received on other projects. Mr. Turley said at this point there are no firm dollars available that can be agreed to be allocated to this project. Mr. Turley said an agreement for the next budget year is a possibility. Mr. Turley stated that on this basis it is difficult for the City to commit to the project, but indicated they want to work with the County. Commissioner Tuttle asked if the City Commission would be willing to memorialize that intent in the form of a resolution from this years funds as available from unexpended public works projects or from next years budget. Mr. Turley said that he will make the proposal. MOTION: PRANTE moved to transfer the airport property contingent upon resolving the issue of the Division overpass in terms of moving the waterline and for the waver of fees mutually for the next year. TUTTLE: Second VOTE: UNANIMOUS APPROVAL MEETING MINUTES - PAGE 5 VOL 55 FACE 297 Discussion Re- Richard Isham explained that this is not a mandatory garding Adult program and a number of small counties have decided & Family not to participate in the program because of paper - Services work problems in getting these grant funds. Contract for Child Support Tom Howes, District Attorney, explained that one year Enforcement ago the County decided not to participate in this Activities grant because of the additional work load. Mr. Howes stated that the only change since last year is that the federal government is considering cutting back the amount of subsidy from 70 to 65%. Mr. Howes stated that Deschutes County supports enforcement work but do not participate with the contract. The difference between doing it under the federal program and the County program is that the federal government require a lot of oaoerwork. Mr. Howes said that since the budget cut, the amount of time spent on support enforcement has been reduced to approximately 12 hours a week, which is not adequate time. Mr. Howes said that if the County were to take on the federal program it is estimated that it will take an additional full-time employee as well as an additional ten hours for copying, etc. and additional time from a Deputy District Attorney. Mr. Howes continued that the County does not have the current resources to fulfill the obligation which would be taken on and recommended either not taking on the obligation or authorizing additional staff be hired. Mr. Howes said the advantage to hiring additional staff would be the additional subsidv from the federal government. Commissioner Prante stated that in addition to determining whether or not we can afford the program we are dealing with priorites on why we allocate minimum funds. Commissioner Prante stated that her priority personally is to be able to leverage our local 35% of the money by subsidizing it with federal dollars and creating a situation where both parents contribute to the support of children. Commissioner Prante continued that as the situation stands there is a vast majority of cases where the women has the child phsically and is therefore comitted to that support and is very important that we do what we can to enforce the support from both parents to the care of children. Commissioner Prante said that she would be most relucant to lose that funding that is so important. Mr. Howes stated that if another lawyer and office assistant is added to staff, more office space will be required.
