COUNTY UNITED WAY EFFORT The Board applauded Ralph Delamarter and Susan Mayea for their efforts in the recent United Way campaign for Deschutes County employees. Susan Mayea said the County's total contribution was up 28% over last year, and she attributed the increase to the presentations which were made to the departments on the United Way instead of just passing out contribution cards. 3. CONSENT AGENDA Consent agenda items before the Board were: #1, approval of Amendments #9 and #10 to the 1991-93 Mental Health Intergovernmental Agreement; #2, signature of Contracts with the Sisters and Redmond School Districts for school food service inspections; #3, signature of Conservation Easement from the Bauers on their property located on River Loop Drive in Fall River Estates Subdivision; #4, signature of Order 91-148 changing the name of a portion of 78th Street to 76th Street; #5, appointment of Jerry Hakes to Panoramic Access Special Road District Board of Directors; #6, reappointment of Glen Downey to the Lazy River Special Road District Board of PAGE 1 MINUTES: 1/8/92 KEY ICHED i9? i .SAN ?

MAUDLIN: I would entertain a motion for approval. SCHLANGEN: So moved. THROOP: Second the motion. VOTE: THROOP: YES SCHLANGEN: YES MAUDLIN: YES PUBLIC HEARING: ORDER 92-002 CONCERNING EXCHANGE OF CONTINGENT FUTURE INTEREST WITH THE DEBERNARDIS Before the Board was a public hearing on the exchange of contingent future interest with Gary L. DeBernardi and Ella J. DeBernardi. Brad Chalfant said this involved an exchange of reversionary interest in land known as "Big Sky I I " which was deeded to Bend Metro Parks and Recreation. The land was acquired by the County from the BLM and then transferred to the park district. Bend Metro Park and Recreation was requesting that the land be transferred to Gary L. DeBernardi in exchange for land on 27th Street and Knott Road which they felt would better suit their needs. The value of both properties appeared to be equal. Chairman Maudlin said he understood that this public hearing did not involve any County -owned land, but concerned an exchange of land between Mr. DeBernardi and the Bend Metro Parks and Recreation District. The only reason the County was involved was because the County had a reversion clause on the property which the park district now owned. Brad Chalfant said that was correct. Chairman Maudlin opened the public hearing for testimony. Wes Price, 62625 Erickson Road, said he lived directly behind the park district parcel. He was interested in the ultimate PAGE 2 MINUTES: 1/8/92 0108 1018 plans for the property, any potential zoning changes, and whether the exchange would allow the property to be developed. Chairman Maudlin said the current zoning of the property would remain. If an application were filed with the County to change the zoning, the surrounding property owners would be notified for their comments. Commissioner Throop clarified with staff that the property was currently zoned EFU-20 and was outside the urban growth boundary. He said that until the urban growth boundary reached this area, which shouldn't be for a number of years, this property would not be available for subdivision development. Chairman Maudlin pointed out that if this property was zoned EFU-20, then its owner could request a partition of the property down to the 20 acre minimum. Frank Wise, 21780 E ?, said his property was next to the subject property. He asked if this property could be used for a cluster development. Karen Green said that cluster developments would not allowed in the EFU zone. Steve White, 62777 Erickson, asked on what basis it was determined that the property was of equal value, i.e. would the zoning remain the same. Chairman Maudlin said the value of the property was the appraised value at the time of the transfer. Mr. White asked if Mr. DeBernardi was making this exchange knowing exactly what the property was zoned and could be used for, and whether he had been made any promises. Chairman Maudlin said the County had not made them any promises. John Simpson, Bend Metro Parks and Recreation, testified that the park district had gotten two appraisals on the properties. Ralph Thomas, 62680 Monterra Dr., testified that his property adjoined the concerned property. He said there had been a number of rumors that there was "a move afoot" to rezone the property and to increase the density. He didn't understand why anyone would want to make an exchange for this piece of property if the values were equal, and this property could not be developed. Karen Green said that if Mr. DeBernardi wanted to develop this property, he would have to file an application with the County, and all of the property owners with 250 feet would have to be given written notice and would be allowed to comment on the proposed change. She said the County would not even accept an application for a land use which was not presently allowed under the current zoning ordinances. Chairman Maudlin asked if the properties being exchanged were of equal size. Brad Chalfant said the property at Big Sky was 79 acres and the property at 27th and Knott was 33 acres and across from the landfill. PAGE 3 MINUTES: 1/8/92 5. 0108 1019 Mr. White asked if there was any history of the County giving potential land purchasers any "breaks" on property with power lines on them? Chairman Maudlin said that in the early 1950s, a group of attorneys purchased some land from the County. In the mid-1980s, this group said the County owed them some money because there was a power line running across the property. The County had not paid them any money. Mr. White had heard concerns that since this property had power lines across it, a developer might get some concessions. Karen Green said there were no concessions for the power lines. The County did take into consideration easements across the property but only for purposes of figuring the net acreage. Chairman Maudlin closed the public hearing. MAUDLIN: I would entertain a motion for the transfer of the reversion clause. SCHLANGEN: So moved. THROOP: Second the motion. VOTE: THROOP: YES SCHLANGEN: YES MAUDLIN: YES DESCHUTES SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT PLAN FOR HARRINGTON LOOP CONSERVATION & RESEARCH PROPOSAL Ray Curry of the Deschutes Soil and Water Conservation District came before the Board to submit the attached proposal for consideration. The District had received a grant of $5,000 to do a feasibility for a conservation and research project on the 280 -acre County -owed property on Harrington Loop. The District hired Jim Burr and Mary Young to do an evaluation. He needed the Board's approval to go forward with the next steps in the process: (1) to hold public meetings with local land owners to explain the proposal and course of action and (2) to contact and explain the proposal to cooperating agencies and school. The District would present the final plan to the GWEB Board and request a grant for $75,000 which would also require an equal amount of in-kind services. Mr. Curry said the District was reaction that he had received property owners and hoped that t explain the proposal in more d4 He said he didn't wi a Disneyland theme to use the land as neighbors. considering vision was PAGE 4 MINUTES: 1/8/92 concerned about the negative rom some of the surrounding ie public meetings would help tail and get input from the nt anyone to think they were park for the area. Their an educational tool for the 0108 1020 schools and others who might be interested. He said a member of the district was also working on the possibility of getting grants from the Federal level. They had a short time frame for submitting the plan for a GWEB grant (February 15, 1992) because the money was only available this year and GWEB would make its decision on the grant on February 27, 1992. Chairman Maudlin felt that it was important that a representative from the County also attend the public meetings so that the Commissioners could be kept up-to-date on the process and the public concerns. Brad Chalfant was requested to attend for the County, and Karen Green was asked to assign a planner to also attend so that plans were not considered which were not possible because of zoning, etc. Commissioner Throop said he liked the concept that was being proposed for this property, and said there was another similar property in Deschutes County. Tillicum Park in the Tumalo area was deeded by a private rancher to Bend Metro Parks and Recreation. The park district had a management plan for the area which included it being left as a primitive park with an education emphasis. He felt the neighbors liked this arrangement because it was better than some future development on the property. He said that since the County was not in the "park business," it was only holding lands for two reasons: (1) trades to help other public agencies block up holdings, or (2) selling the property to put it back on the tax rolls since much of the land the County owned was received through tax foreclosure. So in the foreseeable future, the Harrington Loop property could be traded or sold, if this proposal was not worked out. If this proposal could be developed, the parcel could be retained in public ownership for recreation and education. Larry Brice, 67166 Harrington Loop, said he and his neighbors had worked with the Board before on the proposal to use the site for a gavel pit. He had already received several negative calls from adjacent land owners. He felt this was partially because people were afraid of things they didn't understand, and the Bulletin newspaper article was inflammatory. He asked Mr. Curry if he were quoted correctly regarding amphitheaters, because this would make people envision buildings, roads, and lights. He felt having a public hearing was a good idea. He asked what the present zoning was of this parcel. He felt the previous agreement during the surface mining hearings was that the property would be zoned F-2. Brad Chalfant said it was zoned EFU-20. Commissioner Throop said he remembered this issue being discussed, but that no agreement was reached. The Board left the determination of the zoning up to the Planning Department. Mr. Curry said it had been reported in a Bulletin article with Commissioner Prante (he thought) that the property would PAGE 5 MINUTES: 1/8/92 0108 1021 revert to Forestry. Mr. Brice reiterated that the people who opposed the gravel pit had the understanding that the Board had agreed to the F-2 zoning for the parcel. Commissioner Throop asked him to bring him anything that he had in writing concerning the zoning of this site as F-2. Chairman Maudlin said the County was not interested in maintaining parks for the use of the surrounding neighbors. He said he would like to see the property sold to a nature conservancy or something of that nature, however if that could not be worked out, he'd like the parcel sold at auction. Mr. Brice said he was concerned about the zoning because it would make a difference on what could happen to the property if it were sold or traded. He felt the neighbors were capable of keeping an open mind on this issue. Karen Green said that staff was very careful not to make any commitments during the surface mining legislative process as to what the subsequent zoning would be, because it was a secondary decision. The analysis that was done by Dave Leslie, County Planner, was to look at the surrounding property, the soil, etc. and determine the appropriate zoning. The rationale for the zoning of this property would be available in the file on that site. Chairman Maudlin said he didn't see how the property could be zoned anything better than F-3 in any case. Mr. Curry said he hoped that if this proposal really took off, the District could purchase the property. Commissioner Throop said that one of the issues the district would need to consider was the ultimate ownership of the property through the park district, a nature conservancy, or a trust. Mr. Curry said they were already looking for money from the federal government. Commissioner Throop said he felt the overnight camping proposal or any type of enterprise activity to generate an income might be a problem for this site. Mr. Curry said he did not visualize any income from the property, and they were just in the report as potential ideas for the area. He pictured an amphitheater made from excess material, landscaped with log seating for a lecture site. He only envisioned rest rooms and a drinking fountain on the fish and wildlife trail. Jack Meyer, 69965 Gist Road, said this property was where the alpine region met the dessert region and was unique in that respect. He felt that a bunch of people on rock or paved paths would not preserve the natural environment that currently existed. He felt this kind of a project would end up like the High Dessert Museum, which would also significantly increase his taxes. Commissioner Throop advised the neighbors to go to the public meetings with an open mind and to be participants in the design of the proposal, because if something wasn't agreed PAGE 6 MINUTES: 1/8/92 0108 1022 upon, the County could end up selling the property which would take it out of public use. Jim Burr, 19699 Poplar, said when he was surveying the area, there were a couple of sites where he could visualize some overnight camping for Boy Scouts or young kids who had never been camping before. These areas would accommodate 6-8 small kids with a leader and allow them to have the overnight camping experience. The Board authorized the Deschutes Soil & Water Conservation District to go forward with the public meetings on their proposal (items 1, 2 and 3 on page 5 of attached proposal). 6. TAX REFUND ORDER 92-001 Before the Board was signature of Tax Refund Order 92-001 in the amount of $12,141.56. THROOP: Move signature. SCHLANGEN: Second. VOTE: THROOP: YES SCHLANGEN: YES MAUDLIN: YES 7. RESOLUTION 92-001 AUTHORIZING CHAIR TO EXECUTE HISTORIC PRESERVATION PLANNING GRANT Before the Board was signature of Resolution 92-001 which would authorize the Commission Chairman to execute the grant agreement with the State pertaining to historic preservation planning. THROOP: I'll move signature. SCHLANGEN: Second. VOTE: THROOP: YES SCHLANGEN: YES MAUDLIN: YES 8. WEEKLY WARRANT VOUCHERS Before the Board were weekly bills in the amount of $180,047.12. SCHLANGEN: Move approval upon review. THROOP: Second the motion. PAGE 7 MINUTES: 1/8/92 0108 1023 VOTE: THROOP: YES SCHLANGEN: YES MAUDLIN: YES 9. OUT-OF-STATE TRAVEL Before the Board was a request from the Librarian for a member of his staff to attend Dynix Computer training in Provo, Utah, January 13-16, 1992. The expenses for the trip would be paid by Dynix. THROOP: I'll move approval of the request. SCHLANGEN: Second. VOTE: THROOP: YES SCHLANGEN: YES MAUDLIN: YES 10.

FROM: Jim Burr, Burr Agricultural Consultant Service 19699 Poplar Bend, Oregon 97702 (503) 388-0365 SUBJECT: Project Overview On December 17, 1991, an agreement between Jim Burr and the Deschutes Soil & Water Conservation District was signed. This agreement was to develop a plan of action for a parcel of land belonging to Deschutes County consisting of 280 acres located in the West half of Section 36, Township 15'5 Range 10 E about five miles south east of Sisters, Oregon. The property was evaluated January 3, 1992 by Mary Young and Jim Burr. The purpose of the evaluation was to ascertain the potential of the property for conservational opportunities in the areas of but not limited to: Education, Recreation and Watershed enhancement. The parcel is bordered on the West by U.S. Forest Service Land (marked by witness trees & USFS boundary signs). On the south, east and north by private ownership. A parcel of 40 acres in the southeast 1/4 of the West half of Section 36 is private ownership. This parcel of land is fairly uniform in topography and vegetation, with the exception of a rocky ridge at the extreme southern boundary. For further information on the soil, refer to the soil and vegetation information attached to this report. The property is accessed at the northeast corner off of Harrington loop Road 1/2 miles west of Gist Road. A network of un maintained roads criss-cross the northern half of the property with the exception of the extension of forest road 870, the roads are passable for only small vehicles. Use by vehicles larger than private cars & pick- ups would require road improvements. A road roughly parallels the eastern boundary north and south. This road and U.S. forest road 870 are connected by a road about half -way through the property. There are several foot trails that show evidence of incidental use by foot, horseback riders and ATVs. 0108 1026 The southern 1/2 of the parcel is largely without vehicle access roads. This parcel of land is in a transitional zone between grassland and forest. The vegetation consists primarily of Juniper, pine stands with the understory of bitterbrush and some rabbit brush. The grasses are Idaho fescue and needle grass. Four evaluation soil pits were seen. These were made to determine the gravel content of the area by the county. They show a uniform profile consisting of gravel up to 6-8 inches in diameter and smaller to a depth of 6-8 feet overlaid by 10-12 inches of volcanic ash. Again refer to SCS soil information attached to this report for further detail. The only significant source of water in the area would have to come from wells. Some local domestic wells show water at 40-60 feet. Deeper wells for larger flows are reported to be about 300 feet. This land is included in the winter deer range; which presently excludes vehicle traffic during the winter months. Stash Thompson owns a parcel of land on the east boarder that has been designated a wildlife habitat area in cooperation the Oregon Dept. of Fish & Wildlife. The area is reported to be used by a variety of wildlife including deer, golden mantle, rabbits, coyotes, porcupine and many birds. Evidence of some of these were seen by tracks in the snow, while inspecting the property. Some possibilities or opportunities for use of this property are as follows, other ideas may well exist and this list should not be considered exclusive. A. Education 1. Nature tours, outdoor schools with possible stops being plant relationship in a transitional zone, soils, wildlife. Entomology as related to forest and wildlife, fire control and as a management tool, forest management, managing vegetation, to utilize the available precipitation in this zone. These stations should be developed preferably in a loop configuration with 3-5 minutes walking distance between stations for outdoor school uses. 2. Bird and wildlife observation stations. These could be less of a formal layout for individuals or small groups using existing foot trails or additional trails to observe wildlife and bird life. Blinds could also be built around deer water guzzlers and bird habitat enhancement areas. ---2— 0108 102'7 3. Biology classes could take advantage of the areas as an outdoor laboratory in any of the above mentioned areas. The close proximity to the Sisters school may make this a very viable option. Redmond, Bend & COCC could also use it but the distance may be too great for many classes. B. Overnight camping and picnicking. 1. Scouts, campfire girls, 4H groups, etc., may find the area useful for day use or overnight campouts. Self guided tours of this area, similar to the High Desert Museum, could be set up and would enhance this type of use. C. Trail riding and hiking. 1. The existing trails show significant evidence of use by hikers and horse back riders. While this opportunity exists, the attraction would be greatly enhanced by the inclusion of extended trails on the forest service land in cooperation with USFS. This could be a network of well -marked trails making a loop out from a general staging area. D. Water shed enhancement program. 1. This may well be limited to a demonstration showing the effects of thinning the juniper to release water for the deer browse and pine growth. This is true because of the property's land topography, rapid infiltration of water, size of parcel and lack of any existing streams. We see little opportunity to demonstrate watershed enhancement in the normally accepted sense. The property is, however, part of a larger overall Deschutes River basin watershed and thus needs to be protected from further deterioration. E. Constraints to some of the above activities 1. Improvement of present roads if needed for access to activity areas. 2. Parking/staging areas where busses can turn around and park. 3. Rest room facilities need to be developed. 4. At present time there is no source of water on the property however, wells could be developed for drinking and wildlife enhancement. 5. Permission needed from Oregon Fish & Wildlife if use coincides with closed period for deer range. - 3- 1/4/92. 0108 1028 6. The aforementioned possibilities are largely dependent on the abilities of the applicant securing cooperation and commitment of various agencies, schools and other organizations. Some of these groups are: a. Deschutes Soil and Water Conservation District b. U.S. Forest Service c. Oregon Forestry Department d. O.S.U. Extension e. Bureau of Land Management f. Area schools g. Natural Plant Society of Oregon h. Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife i. U.S. Department of Fish & Wildlife j. Audobon Society k. Upland Game Bird Federation. This report has been prepared and submitted by Jim Burr and Mary Young 0108 1029 Plan of operation if parcel is released by the County to Deschutes Soil & Water Conservation District: 1. Hold public meetings with local land owners to explain the proposal and course of action (January 10 -February 15, 1992) 2. Contact and explain proposal to cooperating agencies and schools (January 10 - February 15, 1992) 3. Obtain letters of commitment from same agencies and schools (January 10 - February 15, 1992) 4. Submit plan to GWEB for funding (February 15, 1992) 5. Form advisory board from agency people and schools. 6. Site preparation as proposed in plan of action. 7. Activate site by holding classes and proposed activities. c r . ;n I ' 1± x N°L1 'A Yt„ e 7 1 f j f• !�• , �i' � , 'r \ `,s" � 4 �� , � rr' + , �,;'� ! • � -' r � ,tJ r_ ^ ' f,,,;t ' ..� - � ,.,�,t � + .•.} +ti(�; s ✓ .r .v.,� i r x`'_q + r� ,x Zr 4 t. � �'�'-'�Y 'r'�.Y. j q t ,i r.r,,' �,�'� � S ,� �i t+� 'r .c....r, •t jj[(' ,, a+[,}., ,fr"r•.", ✓ti ' , +• � f � ,� ` �«' ` : fey ,• ,J,'' , 1 . ,, r %i �, .. j �` ' y '+ f �� ,.. _.ff '- t \, i P w .,1�.� +t�'.✓ia'rp+' � �' ,r yrs' "S' '' trJt �I � .,l �• .

TYPE LOCATION: Deschutes County, Oregon; 1,800 feet east and 1,000 feet south of the northwest corner of section 36, T. 15 S., R. 10 E.(Latitude 44 degrees, 13 minutes, 45 seconds N, Longitude 121 degrees, 29 minutes, 8 seconds W) RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: These soils are intermittently moist and are dry in all parts of the soil moisture control section for 60 to 90 consecutive days. The mean annual soil temperature is about 44 to 47 degrees F. Depth to the glacial outwash material is 20 to 40 inches. Depth to bedrock is greater than 60 inches. The mollic epipedon is 10 to 20 inches thick. Base saturation by ammonium acetate is 85 to 100 percent throughout the profile. The particle size control section contains 50 to 80 percent volcanic glass and glass -coated aggregate in the very fine sand fraction. Phosphate retention is 40 to 70 percent. The - acid oxalate extractable aluminum plus one-half the acid oxalate extractable iron is 0.4 to 1.0 percent. The 15 bar water on both dried and undried samples is 7 to 12 percent. The particle -size control section averages 20 to 35 percent coarse fragments with the solum containing 0 to 30 percent gravel and the substratum containing 40 to 65 percent gravel and cobbles. The pumice sand content (.5 mm to 2 mm) of the solum ranges from 20 to 60 percent. Reaction is neutral throughout. Field estimated clay content of the solum is 5 to 15 percent. The A horizon has value of 2 or 3 moist, 4 or 5 dry and chroma of 2 or 3 moist and dry. It is 0 to 10 percent gravel. The Bw horizon has value of 3 or 4 moist, 5 or 6 dry and chroma of 3 or 4 moist and dry. It contains 20 to 30 percent gravel. The 2C horizon has value of 3 or 4 moist, 5 or 6 dry and chroma of 3 or 4 moist and dry. It is very gravelly loam, very gravelly sandy loam or extremely gravelly sandy loam with 35 to 60 percent gravel and 5 to 15 percent cobbles. Total rock fragments range from 40 to 65 percent. COMPETING SERIES: These are the proposed Ermabell Series and the Laidlaw and Wanoga Series. Laidlaw soils contain less than 5 percent gravel throughout the solum and have 5 to 30 hard firm silica nodules. Wanoga soils are 20 to 40 inches deep to bedrock. Ermabell soils are on stream terraces, have an ash mantle consisting of fine sand or loamy fine sand and a substratum which is very gravelly or extremely gravelly sand. 0108 1035 GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Lundgren soils are on nearly level outwash plains. Elevation is 2,800 to 4,000 feet. Slopes are 0 to 3 percent. The soils formed in volcanic ash over glacial outwash deposits. The climate is characterized by cold, wet winters and hot, dry summers. The mean annual precipitation is 12 to 18 inches, falling mostly as snow. The mean annual temperature is 40 to 47 degrees F. The frost -free period is 60 to 90 days. GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are the Fremkle, Fryrear, Henkle, and the competing Wanoga soils. All of these soils are on adjacent uplands and have bedrock within 40 inches of the surface. DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Well drained; moderately rapid permeability. USE AND VEGETATION: These soils are used for timber production and livestock grazing. Potential native - vegetation is ponderosa pine, antelope bitterbrush, and Idaho fescue. DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: Deschutes Basin of central Oregon; MLRA 6. The series is not extensive. SERIES PROPOSED: Deschutes County (Upper Deschutes River Area), Oregon, 1991. The source of the name is Lundgren Road. REMARKS: Diagnostic horizons and features in this pedon are: mollic epipedon - from the soil surface to 14 inches (Al, A2, horizons). The base saturation is 97 percent and organic carbon is 0.6 percent. cambic horizon - from 14 to 23 inches (Bw horizon). This horizon has mollic colors but lacks the organic matter content definitive of a mollic epipedon. The upper part of the soil (solum) is an ash deposit from Mt. Mazama andic soil properties - for the zone from 0 to 60 inches. P -retention is about 60 percent. The amount of glass and glass coated aggregate in the very fine sand fraction is 60 to 74 percent. Acid oxalate aluminum plus one-half the iron is 0.57 to 0.67 percent. The 15 bar water content on both dried and undried samples is 7 to 11 percent.

Undesirable plants may compete with natural or artifjcial reforestation without site preparation and maintenance. Competing vegetation can be reduced by mechanical treatments, chemical treatments, or livestock grazing. Low subsoil fertility 'equi,es minimal soil surface displacement. Due to moderate susceptibility to compaction, use designated skid trails. | ivestock grazing: Cold climate and soil temperat''re delay early forage qrowth aod shorten growing season. Care should be taken during range improvement to protect the soil from wind erosion. Reestablishment of potentia] native vegetation is very slow on soils influenced by pumice awh once the native vegetation is rcmoved or depleted. The opportunity for pond development on this soil is generally impractical dxe to seepage through soil material. Range Site: Pine-Bitte/brush- Fescue
