15. PUBLIC HEARING: PLAN AMENDMENT TO ADJUST THE LOCATION OF THE
27TH STREET/COOLEY ROAD ARTERIAL CONNECTOR AND THE EMPIRE
BOULEVARD CONNECTION TO THE 27TH/COOLEY CONNECTOR
Before the Board was a public hearing on a plan amendment to
adjust the location of the 27th Street/Cooley Road arterial
connector and the Empire Boulevard connection to the
27th/Cooley Connector.
Paul Blikstad, Planner, reported this was to add a new urban
minor arterial road referred to as the 27th Street extension
and to revise two segments of an arterial road connecting to
this 27th Street extension.
Chair Schlangen opened the public hearing.
John Schubert testified that he was not in opposition of this
arterial but wanted to express concern regarding the process
of including the property owners in these decisions. He felt
that moving the arterial 30 feet west would reduce the noise
pollution to the residents of Nasu Park Loop Road.
Shelley Warren requested clarification regarding the extension
of Empire as to where it was now, where it will hook up and
what the timeline was for completion. Larry Rice responded
that it was not scheduled for construction at this time.
Commissioner Slaughter asked if the intersection of 27th
Street and Butler Market could be moved west. Larry Rice felt
that they would not be able to do that because of the location
of the mini -market on 27th. Commissioner Slaughter requested
that Tom Blust take a look at the intersection to see if
anything could be done about moving it west.
Earl Nichols, representing the Trinity Lutheran Church,
testified in support of the location of the proposed arterial.
The church received a right-of-way from Deschutes County in
August of 1993. The church has filed a master plan and
conditional use request with the City of Bend.
Patrick Gisler, a property owner in the area, testified in
support of the proposed alignment of the road. He felt it was
the best location that had been proposed so far.
Nancy Moran testified in support of this proposal but
expressed concern regarding traffic speed, noise pollution,
load limits, and truck traffic.
Gery Siba testified in support of the proposal for this road.
She expressed concern regarding the funding for the extension
of Empire.

Commissioner Tom Throop explained that the completion of that
road would be a function of private development in that area.
As private development occurs in that area, it will be a
condition of development to provide the road segments
necessary to make those connections.
The Board of Commissioners continued the public hearing to
February 2, 1994 at 10:00 a.m. during the regular Board
meeting.
