Andy Crosby, Assistant Legal Counsel, felt that during the process of the public hearings forming a district the boundary could be amended pursuant to public input. Bruce White stated the boundaries had been set but it was a question as to whether the documentation was accurate. He stated the documentation would need to be clarified. Possibly with a resolution Nun pro tunc which would date it back to when the original order was established. He stated that if there was an invalid district, the County could not proceed to sell bonds on that invalid district. He felt things could be straightened out providing bond counsel was willing to say that what we were doing was okay. He thought bond counsel's opinion was essential.

VOTE: SLAUGHTER: YES SCHLANGEN: YES NIPPER: YES DECISION: ON REVIEW OF A94-20, REGARDING WAL-MART Before the Board was a decision on A94-20 as to whether to review this issue or turn it over to the Land Use Board of Appeals. Paul Blikstad reported the Planning Director issued a decision on a modification of conditions for Wal -mart. The decision by the Planning Director was appealed by the Franklins. The Hearings Officer rendered a decision that this modification was a development action and the Franklins had not standing to appeal. That decision by the Hearings Officer was appealed by the Franklins again. Paul felt the decision was correct as the modification was processed as a development action and under the procedures ordinance they do not have the ability or standing to appeal that decision. In this case only Wal -mart could appeal that modification because it was processed as a development action versus a land use action. Additionally, the Hearings Officer said in her decision that because the Franklins appealed the modification to LUBA, the County had no jurisdiction. Bruce White stated that any appeal the Board decided not to hear would go to LUBA. MINUTES PAGE 4 JANUARY 25, 1995 SCHLANGEN: I would like to move that we decline to review appeal A94-20.

This was a 10 -acre parcel with 9 1/2 acres that are irrigated. The applicant was proposing to site a residence on a small rocky outcrop. The Hearings Officer believed that the applicant proved the homesite was unsuitable for growing alfalfa or other crops, but they did not build a strong enough case that it was not suitable for livestock pasture. It was on that basis that she denied the application. Dale recommended that the Board hear this appeal. NIPPER: I move that the Board of County Commissioners hear A94-21. SCHLANGEN: I second the motion. VOTE: SLAUGHTER: YES SCHLANGEN: YES NIPPER: YES 8.
