the issue should have gone farther at that time and made

reviews condition #4 of the decision which requires that
Antler Avenue be paved within two years. Mr. Smith stated
that a group from the County looked at the road and
recommended that condition #4 should read something like the
following: "Deschutes County shall improve Antler Ave. to a
20 foot wide rock surface road section following the
existing contours. This shall include the grading and the
placement of 4 inches of crushed hard rock 1 inch minus
watered and compacted in place. This improvement shall be

attack would be irresponsible. Chair Prante agrees with
