CITIZEN*INPUT Daniel Kiesow, the Applicant in a Recent Land Use Hearing, asked if the Board could delay its official, written decision on his appeal of the Hearings Officer's decision and the subsequent Board decision, as he is investigating alternatives to his recent applications, and will waive the 150 -day time requirement. Once he has completed this process, he indicated he would either withdraw his application or the County can proceed. (He presented a handwritten letter, Exhibit A) Bruce White, County Counsel, stated that Mr. Kiesow has requested a meeting with the Board and with Community Development, but he really should meet with staff and not with the Board. (Discussion followed.) It was determined that Mr. Kiesow will meet with staff of Community Development to sort out this situation. MINUTES OF BOARD MEETING Wednesday, March 8, 2000 Quality Services Performed with Pride I of 8 Pages 2. PRESENTATION of Current and Planned Activities of the Commute Options for Central Oregon Program Jeff Monson, Director of Commute Options gave a biennial update of this program. Mr. Monson explained that a van pool program has been developed and is beginning soon. The vans will be going from Wickiup Junction to Sunriver Resort, and then from south of Bend to Sunriver Resort. They have a contract from the Oregon Department of Transportation to help buy down the cost, and Sunriver is also contributing. There are about eight people in each van pool, and the program starts March 20 and March 21. This is work related transportation, and is for employees of the resort. He further noted that the number of names in the ride share database is increasing, which will make it easier to match car pools. Seven park and ride .lots are now established, with more to be developed. These will eventually have good signage, and will include bike racks and lockers. Park and ride locations are usually opened in conjunction with existing store shopping lots. The tenth annual Commute Options Week will be June 5th to 11 th . They are also working on the Area Commission on Transportation along with Commissioner Luke to develop efficient and cost-effective alternatives. The program is developing well, and is making good strides. 3. PRESENTATION by the Oregon Department of Transportation, Updating the Potential Ramifications of Changing the State Designations of Highways 97,20 and 126 from their Current Classification to "Expressway" Peter Russell, Oregon Department of Transportation, explained that "expressway" is equivalent to an overlay zoning for County land use. He explained that the new Oregon Highway Plan, and new Division 51 (Oregon Administrative) Rule, and the Oregon Transportation has directed regional planning staff to work with jurisdictions to discuss the possibilities and ramifications of the expressway system. MINUTES OF BOARD MEETING Page 2 of 8 Pages Wednesday, March 8, 2000 Mr. Russell stated that the goal of an expressway is to carry large volumes of traffic at relatively high speeds, using existing or planned two-lane and multi -lane highways. The function of the expressways is to move inter- urban travel in connections to ports and major recreation areas without interruption. (He presented maps and other literature to further explain the process and locations, Exhibit B) Mr. Russell stated that reasonable alternative access needs to be available, and no one will be left land -locked. The idea is to limit the amount of direct access to the expressway, and private access will be discouraged. He explained that ODOT would be going to local jurisdictions to hear from the public and agencies to input, and want to complete this process as soon as possible. Commissioner Luke indicated that COACT has been involved, and one of the reasons they are looking at this is that funding may be more available because of this designation. ADDITION TO THE AGENDA (a) was addressed at this time. (a PRESENTATION of a Certificate of Appreciation to Deschutes County from the Deschutes County Chapter of the American Red Cross Mark Amberg, acting as Chairman, and Shannon Yeager, the interim Executive Director of the local chapter of the American Red Cross, presented a letter and certificate, thanking Deschutes County for its $5,000 grant from the Board. 4.

[] = Public street spacing minor deviation limit. 200 Expressways: Key Implications • Private access is discouraged; & there is a long-range plan to eliminate, as possible, existing approach roads as opportunities occur or alternative access becomes available; (access spacing standards are two — four times more stringent & OARs don't allow direct access where there is alternative access) • Access rights will be purchased and a local road network may be developed consistent with the function of the roadway; • Public road connections are highly controlled; • Traffic signals are discouraged in rural areas; • Parking is prohibited; • Mobility standards are higher (.05 to .1 higher) • `Gaps' in the expressway designation would allow for Special Transportation Areas (STAs), Urban Business Areas (UBAs), or 'Other' designations at appropriate locations • Funding: Both the Draft Local Street & Access Mgmt. Funding Guidelines give priority to Expressways. It is likely that other funding sources will also give priority to expressways. • Designation: Statewide highways may be designated expressways "in consultation with local government". The OTC has expressed interest in quickly designating an initial system. POTENTIAL TERMINI FOR EXPRESSWAYS, STA'S, UBA'S IN DES. CO. Jurisdiction I Hwy Deschutes Co.
