PUBLIC HEARING: AN APPEAL OF THE DESCHUTES COUNTY HEARINGS OFFICER'S APPROVAL OF APPLICATION CU -95-2 SUBMITTED BY MADSEN Before the Board an appeal of the Deschutes County Hearings officer's approval of application CU -95-2. Brian Harrington reviewed the procedure for the Board members. Chair Slaughter opened the hearing and asked that those testifying limit their remarks to five minutes each. Brian Harrington made a brief statement referencing the original hearing. The applicants have requested approval of a non-farm dwelling on a 6.53 acre parcel located on Tweed Road. There was no irrigation on property, no evidence of farm use, and an old pond on the property had not been used for considerable time. The staff felt the applicant had met the county's criteria for building on this property. Greg Hendrix, representing Kathy DeHaven owner of property, reviewed the case. Since both the staff and hearings officer approved the application and farmers and neighbors in the area had supported their application and stated it would not affect the adjacent farm uses, he suggested that the Board deny the appeal and approve the application. Mr. Don Madsen, applicant, confirmed the feeling that the property was not suitable for farm use. He had the support of neighboring farms. David Bouchar abuts this property and agreed with everything said today. He felt it would increase the value of the property rather than decrease it. Meyer Avedovech, attorney in Bend represented Ernie Block, who filed the appeal. He presented the Board with a packet of material relative to his client's objection. His client was concerned about the location of the drain field which was within 15 feet of public road. He also felt this property could be used for raising exotic animals, therefore it could be identified as farm land. No one addressed the possibility of raising exotic animals on this property - just cattle. His MINUTES PAGE 8 JULY 12, 1995 0147-11"A client was also concerned about a dedicated easement that might lead to the subdividing of the property. Mr. Ernie Block, property owner adjacent to the applicant's property, felt very strongly that this property should not be allowed to be built on. He stated he was keeping his property for wildlife. Part of the adjacent property was irrigated and property across the street was designated as wildlife refuge. Bruce White had questions of Mr. Avedovech. He felt the focus needed to lie in the issue that the application was for that portion of the parcel that was not suitable for farm use and not the entire parcel. He also addressed the issue of the location of the drain field not being a consideration at this time. Greg Hendrix responded to the opponent's concerns: the septic situation was not a responsibility of the board. The issue was whether the site of the house was suitable for farm use. He felt that the applicant met the criteria very well. Also in reference to the easement, he felt this 6.53 acres would not create many 20 acre parcels. Brian Harrington indicated this area was not designated as wildlife area by the county and did not lie in the wildlife zone. There being no further testimony, the hearing was closed. Commissioner Nipper saw this land as being unproductive and the applicant should be able to build on this site. Commissioner Schlangen supported the hearings officer's findings and supports this application. Chair Slaughter also supported the hearings officers findings. SCHLANGEN: I move that the Board uphold the hearings officer's decision. NIPPER: I'll second it. VOTE: SCHLANGEN: YES SLAUGHTER: YES NIPPER: YES Chair Slaughter recessed the meeting until 3:45 p.m. this afternoon for executive session.
