1990-17615-Minutes for Meeting May 23,1990 Recorded 6/12/19900:01 0459 1IINUTES 15 DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS0 Jay (2 12; May 23, 1990 _ x 'i0 s i C e f C,LE P, K Chair Throop opened the meeting at 10 a.m. Board members in attendance were Dick Maudlin, Tom Throop and Lois Bristow Prante. Also present were Larry Rice, Public Works Director; George Read, Planning Director; Karen Green, Community Development Director; v' g-«M Rick Isham, County Legal Counsel. 1. PETITION REQUESTING BAN ON POLYSTYRENE Miss Katherine Gardner and Miss Morgan from Kenwood Elementary School came before the Board to submit a petition signed by students and teachers requesting that the use of polystyrene in schools and in all of Deschutes County be abolished. They felt that the polystyrene was only used for a few minutes but would last forever in the landfills. They were starting to recycle the polystyrene trays at their school. They didn't feel that was good enough since it polluted the air to make the trays and to burn the trays. They were promoting using trays that were washable. Commissioner Throop said the Board of Commissioners was responsible for all of the landfills in Deschutes County, and was also concerned about the amount of recyclable material that was going into the landfills. He said the Board encouraged and supported their efforts. 2. CONSENT AGENDA Consent agenda items before the Board were: #1, signature of Order 90-072 changing the name of Marlboro Drive to Ranch Village Drive; #2, signature of Amendments to Healthystart Agreement; and #3, signature of Development Agreement for the Sunriver Community Church. PRANTE: I'll move the consent agenda. MAUDLIN: Second. VOTE: PRANTE: YES THROOP: YES MAUDLIN: YES 3. PUBLIC HEARING ON ORDER 90-043 VACATING PORTION OF NW POPLAR AVENUE Before the Board was a public hearing on an order vacating a portion of NW Poplar Avenue (formerly Nickernut) located in the plat of Hidden Valley Mobile Estates No. I. Larry Rice testified that the vacation involved a small piece of property. (180' long by 60' wide) which had been set aside fog., Lure PAGE 1 MINUTES: 5-23-90 0101 0460 use as a possible road. He said it was no longer needed for that purpose since no road would connect to it. He recommended vacating the property with half of the property reverting to each of the adjacent property owners. Chair Throop opened the public hearing and asked for testimony. Katherine Hansen from Sunnyvale, CA, said her parents' property was adjacent to the property being vacated. She said her father was ill and couldn't attend. They were in favor of the vacation. She said it would be extremely costly for the County to build a bridge across the gorge which would be necessary to complete the road. No one else wished to testify so the public hearing was closed. PRANTE: I would move signature of Order 90-043 vacating a portion of NW Poplar Avenue. MAUDLIN: Second. VOTE: PRANTE: YES THROOP: YES MAUDLIN: YES 4. PUBLIC HEARING: ORDER 90-062 TRANSFERRING PROPERTY TO THE CITY OF BEND Before the Board was signature of Order 90-062 transferring eight lots to the City of Bend for eventual use by Habitat for Humanity for low to moderate income housing. Rick Isham recommended that the Board approve the Order but not sign the Quitclaim since the authority under which the property was being transferred required that the property be used for a "public purpose." The City of Bend was concerned whether this "public purpose" requirement would conflict with Habitat's goals which included allowing the low to moderate income homeowner to sell the home to an unqualified buyer for a profit. Rick Isham said he was looking at another authority to complete the transfer of property called an "arms length" sale to the City. In this transfer, the City would have to offer some consideration for the County's interest in the property in exchange for a deed without restrictions. He said he was working with the City of Bend on the possibility of using this type of transfer. Chair Throop opened the public hearing. There being no one who wished to testify, the public hearing was closed. MAUDLIN: I would move that we agree to the Order and adopt the recommendation by County Counsel. PAGE 2 MINUTES: 5-23-90 6101 O 61 5. 6. PRANTE: Second. VOTE: PRANTE: YES THROOP: YES MAUDLIN: YES PUBLIC HEARING: STF COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 1990-91 Before the Board was a public hearing on the Special Transportation Fund Committee recommendations for 1990-91 and chair signature of the State Application. Susan Mayea, Local STF Program Manager, gave the attached STF Advisory Committee report. She said there was a 50% increase in funds available this year over last year (from $72,00 to $125,000). She said the STF Committee did adopt the staff recommendation. Chair Throop opened the public hearing. There being no one from the audience who wished to testify, the public hearing was closed. THROOP: A motion to ratify the recommendations of the committee and to sign the State Application would be in order. PRANTE: So moved. MAUDLIN: Second. VOTE: PRANTE: YES THROOP: YES MAUDLIN: YES PUBLIC WORKS LABOR AGREEMENT WITH LOCAL 701 OPERATING ENGINEERS Before the Board was signature of the Labor Agreement with Local 701 Operating Engineers for the Public Works employees.

PRANTE: Move approval upon review. MAUDLIN: Second. VOTE: PRANTE: YES THROOP: YES MAUDLIN: YES 9. CONSERVATION EASEMENT FOR KMB ENTERPRISES Before the Board was signature of a Conservation Easement from KMB Enterprises. Max Merrill, attorney for KMB Enterprises (consisting of Keith, Matthew, and Brian Cyrus) said the Cyrus' were developing a subdivision in the Sisters area and the only item remaining to get approval of the subdivision was the Conservation Easement. He said they had several concerns about the Conservation Easement but were primarily concerned with some language that they felt would conflict with the open space management plan which had been worked out with the Fish and Wildlife Department. Their concern was that the Conservation Easement allowed public access to the river when the property owners were not allowed into that area without entering into a contract with ODF&W because the river bank area was so delicate. Commissioner Throop asked if the parties involved (Cyrus', ODF&W and CDD) had gotten together to work out the differences. Mr. Merrill said they had just gotten the Conservation Easement, and they had to have the Conservation Easement. Their plat approved today, so they could close some PAGE 4 MINUTES: 5-23-90 0101 0403 transactions, so they could make the payment to the underlying landowner which was due today. Therefore, the Cyrus' would be willing to sign the Conservation Easement as it had been prepared if the Board would agree to adopt whatever changes could be negotiated among the involved parties. He also pointed out that the word "unless" had been left out of Page 4, (I) and that it should read: "are permitted within the easement area unless authorized by Grantee. He said another area of concern was the restriction on water pumping facilities within the Conservation Easement. He said there were already water pumping facilities in the area which were needed to maintain the pasture next to the stream. Keith Cyrus said the first time he had seen the Conservation Easement was the previous Thursday. Commissioner Maudlin suggested that developers be given a draft copy of the standard language early on in the process so that the wildlife management plan could be worked out with the Conservation Easement. Karen Green said that the plat had been approved some time ago. She said she understood the holdup was with the potential purchasers of the lot who were uncomfortable about the Conservation Easement language. She said a draft Conservation Easement had been provided to Mr. Cyrus' former attorney, Bob Lovelein, about four week ago. They had been unaware that Mr. Cyrus had changed attorneys. She said it was their intention to provide a draft copy of the Conservation Easement as early in the process as possible. Max Merrill said that part of their agreement with Fish and Wildlife was that even the residents would not have access to the river area without some kind of contractual agreement with ODF&W. MAUDLIN: I would move that we sign the Conservation Easement accepting it as it is written subject to the negotiations between the parties for any changes that may be necessary, plus add the word "unless" on page 4 (I). PRANTE: I'll second. VOTE: PRANTE: YES THROOP: YES MAUDLIN: YES 10. SUBDIVISION PLATS FOR SUNRIVER PROPERTIES Before the Board was approval of signature of two subdivision plats for Sunriver Properties: Fairway Point Golf Estates and Fairview Village #1. George Read said that the plats were not in yet because there had been some problems which had arisen PAGE 5 MINUTES: 5-23-90 0101 OM4 late in the process. The Sunriver Homeowners Association did not indicate they had a problem with accepting and maintaining the roads but apparently they did. There was also the need for a variance on the 600' cul-de-sac length if one of the roads was ever closed off. They have applied for a variance to the maintenance standards and the cul-de-sac standards and have been given a temporary use permit to proceed while all this was pending. He said they would have Sunriver Properties record an agreement saying they would comply with the standards if the variances were denied. He felt that was adequate to allow the plats to be signed, and he said there was some money at stake for Sunriver Properties if they didn't get the issue resolved this week. He recommended the Board approve signature of plats at such time as these issues were worked out. PRANTE: I move signature at such point as you get it all worked out. MAUDLIN: I'll second the motion. VOTE: PRANTE: YES THROOP: YES MAUDLIN: YES 11. PLAT 707 FOR SUNSET VIEW ESTATES PHASE I Before the Board was signature of Plat 707 for Sunset View Estates Phase I. MAUDLIN: I move signature of Plat 707. PRANTE: Second. VOTE: PRANTE: YES THROOP: YES MAUDLIN: YES 12. OLCC APPLICATION FOR WAGNER'S Before the Board was chair signature of an OLCC Application for Wagner's. MAUDLIN: Move chair signature. PRANTE: Second.

Exceptions are those applicants who did not request an increase, new services who did not have a history to compare, and the City of Bend, who discontinued their taxi ticket program. The Opportunity Foundation, if awarded the recommended $11,500, would receive an approximate 55 percent increase over last year. The City of Bend would receive a 3 percent increase. The Residential Assistance Program is requesting less than what they received last year, and staff recommends funding their entire request for $2,350. The Central Oregon Council on Aging is requesting only a $200 increase to help offset the tremendous increase in their insurance. Staff recommends full funding of COCOA's request at $28,115. All Outdoors received STF funds to purchase a wheelchair lift, but this year's request is for operational costs. Since there is no funding history, staff's recommendation is to award $6,000 to All Outdoors. The Deschutes County Mental Health program received nearly $15,000 last fiscal year, however, some of that money was to provide service for only half a year. Because the taxi ticket program was discontinued, an additional contract with a transportation provider was required to pick up those clients affected by the taxi ticket program. Staff is recommending that Mental Health be funded at $20,000. STF COMMITTEE PAGE -2- MAY 4, 1990 0101 046 7 Also because of the discontinuation of the taxi ticket program, many developmentally disabled people were left with no resources for rides to recreational opportunities, shopping, and other nonwork-related events. Therefore, Mental Health has proposed a taxi ticket program for their developmentally disabled clients to be able to attend some special functions and events. Staff recommends partial funding of this request at $5,000. The United Senior Citizens of Bend have never requested STF dollars previously. However, their application for 16B2 grant funds to purchase three new vans was denied, so they are requesting the STF Committee to fund full purchase price of $20,000 for one new van. Staff's recommendation would be to fund 80 percent of this request (at $16,000) with the condition that this money be left in a contingency fund and that the United Senior Citizens of Bend apply for the STF discretionary funds in July 1990 for the purchase of three new vehicles and that the $16,000 be used as match money for that request. In the event that the discretionary grant is denied, the $16,000 would be released to the United Senior Citizens to purchase a new vehicle. In addition, if the United Senior Citizens does receive the discretionary grant to purchase three new vehicles, they will be required to transfer one older vehicle to the Residential Assistance Program to help provide transportation for the developmentally disabled clientele. The Citizens for a Transportation District has applied for a $1,000 grant to use as seed money for their formation efforts. This money is needed to pay for postage and mailings, ads in the newspapers, etc. Staff recommends that this full amount be funded. /scm ~ 01 QA 68 H z o tri ro 1 11 L ti t H 1-3 H H H O H O II r to 0 O C G H II O H t z O hi C n II H x x O H z ttri t rJ l w II H ~ + 0 ~0 z 1.4 11 H O H H cn C7 11 z x x x c c n o 11 H d rt H z ii N H O n E ► -1 H , b tl H N w H II t1i b N II r n z r ro c n O z ii to H 0 O G7 II o ~ m II ► + c'~ ~ II to v 11 t0 II r II fl En 11 co to II tp ti] 11 1 n r N W II t0 II O N rP N ~l N W ~l 11 I 1 ( co W to co W oP 11 H 0 0 o W to r o to o 11 ti I I 1 t0 0 Ul .P w o II O 0 11 11 z z z H II H H II O ii z H n z ~ r' r •P II N N N ~P r 11 o II 1 id W II r O On -l 01 co N O N II t0 tr1 co II O O O O 0.0 r w r%) W II O 0 11 0 0 0 o OD r to r w ~.~y II N r r II o 0 0 o LA ~w Vl o ~ ~A T y II tzJ N 11 C cn II O % c o m 11 r n o t II H Cl 0 u u G u N II (n II H II id 11 H 11 to td 11 o C.''
