August 12, 1987
Chair Prante called the meeting to order at 10:03 a.m. Board
members in attendance were Lois Bristow Prante, Dick Maudlin, and
Tom Throop. Also present were Rick Isham, Legal Counsel, Karen
Green, Assistant Legal Counsel, Craig Smith, Planning Director,
and Assistant Planners Mark Shipman and Paul Blikstad.
1. PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PINES CONDOMINIUMS
MAUDLIN: I will move' that per our site visit and
discussion, the parking lot be approved as in Exhibit
"A" plus one more space with the condition that an 8-
to 10-foot fire access be provided.
THROOP: I'll second that motion.
Commissioner Throop felt these conditions would provide
substantial berming and would still allow the fire
access. The fire chief had requested a 12-foot fire
lane along the western boundary of The Pines and an 8-
foot lane along the Kittyhawk Condominiums portion.
Legal Counsel Rick Isham stated that they would prepare
the findings with conditions for Board signature.
VOTE: MAUDLIN: YES
THROOP: YES
PRANTE: YES
2. PUBLIC HEARING ON ORDINANCE NO. 87-026
This was a continuation of a public hearing to render a
decision on ordinance No. 87-026, an amendment to PL-
11, the Bend Urban Growth Boundary Zoning Ordinance, to
remove the section requiring minimum distances between
service stations.
Commissioner Maudlin stated that he had been in favor
of the original ordinance requiring the distance when
it was adopted in the 1970s, and still supported it.
Commissioner Maudlin had driven around town and looked
at the abandoned gas stations and felt that removing
the distance requirement could not be justified at this
time. He wanted to emphasize, however, that he did not
support limiting competition and stressed once more

that the County's role is not to place limits on
competition.
Commissioner Throop also felt that the conditions had
not changed since the 1970s and, therefore, removal of
this particular section of the ordinance could not be
justified.
Commissioner Prante did not feel that the County was in
a position to pass ordinances to anticipate global
economic situations. She wondered whether Deschutes
County could really know what distance would be
required to prevent the closing down of gas stations.
MAUDLIN: I drove around and looked and could see no
reason for the ordinance to be changed, so based on
that, I make my motion to not adopt ordinance No. 87-
026.
THROOP: I will second that motion.
VOTE: MAUDLIN: YES

that their professional liability insurance will be
dropped effective August 15, 1987. Tom Clark and Bill
Callender, members of the Board of Directors, came
before the Commission to ask for assistance in this
matter. They asked whether the Board would consider
adding them to the County's self-insurance program.
After much discussion, the Board continued the
discussion to 4:30 of this afternoon to do more
research into the subject.
The meeting resumed at 4:30 p.m. There was further
discussion on the insurance matter, however, no final
