SURFACE MINING INVENTORY tr,
10:00 a.m., December 6, 1988
Deschutes County Administration Building `
Chairman Maudlin called the meeting to order at 11:06 a.m. Board
members in attendance were Dick Maudlin, Lois Bristow Prante, and
Tom Throop. Also present were Karen Green, Assistant Legal
Counsel; Craig Smith, Planning Director; and Chuck McGraw,
Associate Planner.
Before the Board was a continuation of the public hearing on
Ordinance No. 88-039, adoption of surface mining inventory.
Craig Smith gave the staff report. He stated that the first step
of the Goal 5 process for review of mineral and aggregate sites in
Deschutes County was the adoption of an inventory. Based upon the
hearings that had taken place since May of 1988, a final list of
sites had been compiled. The next step would be the ESEE analysis
and the final step would be the zoning of the sites. No mining
could take place on sites that were not already operating mining
sites until this process has been completed.
Sally Wegner, 60675 Bobcat Road, Bend, representing the Southeast
Property Owners Association, stated her concern that the Rose site
was on the inventory even though the owners had not submitted
evidence as to the quality and quantity of the site by the deadline
that the County had given them. She requested that the hearing be
continued until the Southeast Property Owners Association's
attorney could be present.
Commissioner Maudlin responded that if the site was not put on the
inventory, the owners would be able to request a zone change at any
time in the future. By putting the Rose site on the inventory now,
the owners would only have until the June 1989 deadline to submit
further evidence, and then the site would be zoned according to the
information submitted. That way, the surrounding property owners
would know what they could expect in the near future instead of
waiting until the Rose site owners decided to request rezoning of
their property.
Karen Green recommended that the hearing not be postponed since the
attorney for the Southeast Property Owners Association had already
given testimony and could have attended this public hearing.
Jim Long, 60535 Bobcat Road, Bend, stated he felt the Commissioners
had the authority to leave the Rose site off the inventory.
Commissioner Throop stated that since there was evidence of rock
at the site, it could not be left off the inventory. The only

other option was to place the site under 1(b) of the inventory
which would put the timeline for analysis and zoning at the
discretion of the site owner instead of during the timelines
established for the rest of the inventory sites.
Commissioner Maudlin stated that he did not want the process to
take any longer than was necessary and would like to see all of the
inventory sites go through the process at the same time so that the
surrounding property owners would know what they could expect.
From previous written reports and testimony, the Commissioners
determined that there was evidence of a significant resource on the
disputed Rose site and that it should, therefore, be on the
inventory. However, evidence as to the quality of the resource
would have to be brought forward during the ESEE process in order
for the Rose site to be zoned for surface mining.

#88-039 by title only.
