He felt good gravel sources were rare. This area contains 23% of the to the total protected resource. He felt there was a need for this kind of material. He state that the alternative to local sources was from over the mountains. The cost escalates when the resource was hauled from the valley and the trucks still have to go through Sisters. He felt that Sisters needed a by-pass and visitors would still stop in Sisters if there was one. Commissioner Slaughter felt the Board should not hear this issue because either way, the issue would probably be appealed to LUBA. He felt the parties MINUTES 4 NOVEMBER 13, 1995 0149-0294 involved in this issue should look towards mediation as a possible solution.

DECISION OF WHETHER TO HEAR APPEAL A-95-20, AN APPEAL OF THE HEARINGS OFFICER'S APPROVAL OF SP -95-60, FOR THE LATTER DAY SAINTS CHURCH Before the Board was the decision of whether to hear appeal A- 95-20, an appeal of the Hearings Officer's approval of SP -95- 60, for the Latter Day Saints Church. Damian Syrnyk reported that in 1994 the LDS church obtained a conditional use permit to place a church on the corner of Tekempe and Knott Road. This summer they came in for a site plan. The County held a hearing on the conditional use application. The church was requesting a building of 13,636 feet with 115 parking spaces. An appeal was filed in a timely manner by opponents. After the appeal was filed, he stated it was realized that the 120 day processing timeline was November 16, 1995, which could be a problem. Bruce White stated the 120 day was problematic when it was exceeded. It was his recommendation to decline to hold an appeal hearing. If a hearing was held in the face of the 120 day problem, the Board faced the possible scenario of the issue going to court anyway. Bruce stated that the complicated factor was that there had been no transcript received yet. Bruce stated the attorney for the church had expressed an willingness in extending the 120 day time period but for no longer than was necessary for the application to perfect their appeal by filing a transcript. He stated the applicant had submitted a letter dated today, November 13, 1995, stating that they would waive the 120 day until the transcript was filed. No action was taken on this item at this time.
