3. PUBLIC HEARING Regarding a Proposed Development Agreement with
Cascade Highlands Limited Partnership (Member of the West Bend Traffic
Consortium).
BLIKSTAD:
Proper notice has been given; and my department has received one letter and a
few phone calls on this matter. The County establishes outside improvement
requirements for destination resorts, and this proposed resort would be located just
within the City of Bend. This would also vest standards of criteria for destination
resorts to those in effect today. I refer to adding additional criteria (see Exhibits A
and B), and request that Deborah McMahon of the City comment.
LUKE:
(To the audience) This is a draft and the first hearing; and the Commissioners won't
act on this today, as we need to wait for the City to complete its work on changes.
BRUCE WHITE:
This is still in a work in progress, and a redline copy of the development
agreement is available to the public. The Commissioners aren't here to approve
the destination resort, but by law a public hearing must be held. Whatever is in
the development agreement must comply with the County's comprehensive plan
and zoning ordinance standards.
The City of Bend is in attendance to address effect of transportation. A traffic
study entered into record by the applicant, and they state that they can satisfy the
required criteria. The City of Bend needs to give its opinion as to whether the
application will satisfy this criteria. The assumptions of the development
agreement and the factual information of the assumptions probably won't change
much. There are a number of issues with the development agreement that the
County, the City and the applicant will have to work on.
LUKE:
I don't want the County to duplicate the process; and I find it difficult for the
Commissioners to proceed until the City completes its work, as the City is the
final arbitrator.
S WEARINGEN:
If the City is satisfied, the County probably will be as well.
WHITE:
I feel the City should proceed first, but the Commissioners may want to consider
a joint hearing with the City to address this issue; and the City has had a public
hearing already.
Minutes of Board Meeting Page 2 of 21 Pages
Wednesday, July 26, 2000
DEBORAH MCMAHON OF THE CITY OF BEND:
There are significant system -wide problems on the west side of town to address.
A solution was brought forth by the consortium to solve those problems; and to
capture all the details of that solution, the development agreement must be done.
In order to make sure the City is satisfied, a comprehensive traffic study was
required; and this work has been done and reviewed.
At this point we are just finishing up the details of the development agreement,
with the same format for each of the consortium members with slight differences
in each individual agreement. A public hearing has been held on the concept and
structure of the development agreement; and the City will schedule an additional
time to be available for public comment. This will most likely be the second
meeting in August, but the City Council will determine that at their next meeting.
COMMISSIONERS:
We would like to discuss this issue in a general, joint meeting with the City.
S WEARINGEN:
I am not interested in a joint hearing on this issue unless it is narrowed to this
portion of it, involving the County.
LUKE:
What we're looking at is a development agreement to make the County a pass-
through for money from the developer through the County to the City. They
have not submitted any plans for the development to be approved by the County;
and the development agreement does not include any new development in this
destination resort. It is simply an agreement for a pass-through of certain funds.
WHITE:
The County is obligated, as it cannot change the approval standards, which will
be vested for a period of seven years. These are the County approval standards
relating to off-site transportation standards, and the developer must meet those.
The County Road Department and the Oregon Department of Transportation are
very concerned that we still leave this open as part of the approval process to
address whatever they need as a part of this facilities agreement.
The development agreement will make very clear that we are vesting, or
determining or making assumptions only with respect to transportation facilities
within the city limits of Bend as they exist as of the date of the agreement.
Future hookups into City water and sewer are not a part of this agreement. Since
the County acts as a pass-through, I recommend an indemnity agreement from
the City.
Minutes of Board Meeting Page 3 of 21 Pages
Wednesday, July 26, 2000
DEWOLF:
Will this destination resort would eventually hook up to city water and/or sewer?
MCMAHON:
They may eventually, but not as a part of this agreement.
WHITE:
This does bring up a good point — we are vesting all standards. We are not saying
the standards are satisfied, but what we are doing is saying that all the standards
that relate to this will stay this same from this day until seven years out. To avoid
budgeting for this, the County needs to be able to assign the County's right to
payment over to the City so it doesn't have to pass through the County's budget
process.
LUKE:
I want to remind you all that this is a draft agreement, and there is time to work
out all of these details.
DEWOLF:
I am concerned about Road Department conditions and conclusions, and ODOT's
objections.
TOM BLUST OF THE ROAD DEPARTMENT:
I want to make sure this agreement doesn't limit what improvements and/or
dedications the Road Department and the Oregon Department of Transportation
can do in areas outside of the City limits. This is addressed in the staff report,
and copies are available to the public.
Chair Linda Swearingen opened the public hearing 10: 30 a.m.
NANCY CRAVEN, AN ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THE APPLICANT:
I would like to introduce Dike Dame, the owners' representative of Cascade
Highlands, Joe Weston, one of the owners of Cascade Highlands; and Tom
Walker of W & H Pacific, who has been working with us on most of the
engineering issues on the consortium; and Jim Atkins, who has been handling
many of the management issues.
The application for a development agreement was submitted and a statement filed
in support, along with a significant traffic report from Kittleson & Associates.
We have been meeting for months with the City, and have held workshops and
public hearings; and some modifications were made to the agreement at the
County's request.
Minutes of Board Meeting Page 4 of 21 Pages
Wednesday, July 26, 2000
We submitted a draft development agreement at the request of the County's legal
staff, and made some of the modifications that were previously discussed. Not
all of the changes were made; and we in fact added the City as a party to that
agreement as of last week, rather than having separate development agreements.
We are continuing to have discussions with the City and the County's legal staff
in regard to the exact framework of the documents.
After a brief review of the information received from County legal staff, we feel
we can address and resolve the issues raised, and that there will be no problems
with making changes as required by ODOT and the County Road Department.
We feel that the County appears to have a clear understanding of its limited,
although important, role and the process.
S WEARINGEN:
I suggest that the hearing be continued until a time certain when there is a more
finalized document.
KEVIN HARRISON OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT:
(Gave an overview of the logistics of this public hearing.) There is some benefit
in continuing a hearing rather than closing a hearing and scheduling a new one,
as notice would not have to be given again. A time and date certain would be
decided today on a continuance. Media notices will be done to keep the public
updated on the process.
A general discussion on a date in late August occurred.
DIKE DAME, THE OWNERS' REPRESENTATIVE FOR CASCADE
HIGHLANDS AND OTHER ENTITIES:
(Gave an overview of the history of the project.) The intent is to cooperate with
local homeowners, the City and the County to resolve any concerns.
MCMAHON:
(In response to a question from Commissioner Luke), the issue of Colorado
Avenue is completely separate and outside the scope of this agreement.
ANN WHEELER:
(Representing the Friends of Bend). I appreciate the County leaving the record
open. I realize this is not a hearing on what the development will look like, but
that the impacts of the proposal will be on the City and its residents. This is an
interesting process, making cooperation between the City and County necessary.
Minutes of Board Meeting Page 5 of 21 Pages
Wednesday, July 26, 2000
There are about 500 people involved with Friends of Bend, whose goal is to
educate local citizens on the process and what is going on in the City. We are not
taking a position on this development since it would be premature. We are
concerned that the fact that the proposal sets a limit on the amount of dollars
Cascade Highlands would contribute to the southern bridge. Since there will be
an environmental study done on the bridge which may result in more mitigation
being required, or perhaps a more expensive bridge, this is an important issue.
Giving Cascade Highlands a guarantee on a dollar amount may be very risky to
the City and its residents.
S WEARINGEN:
The County will certainly take some direction from the City.
ANN WHEELER:
The citizens of the City also need to interact with County on this, and not just at
the City level.
DEWOLF:
All this does is restrict them to $500,000 for the bridge. Are you saying this may
have a further impact on the bridge issue and the traffic numbers at each
intersection?
WHEELER:
There is no final plan yet, but because of the size of the project, it could place a
burden on non -consortium entities, that may have to address the greater traffic
situation. I request that the County require more details on traffic issues, as the
public hearing previously held did not address this specifically. Negotiations
with ODOT are occurring separately, but the City and County should be involved
in this negotiation process as well. In the proposal is a reference to the City and
County cooperating with Cascade Highland for securing for future approvals,
which is very vague and may suggest the project will receive special treatment
from the County and the City.
WHITE:
I have already asked that clause be removed, as it could be misunderstood. The
County will take this on as a regulatory body as usual.
A general discussion between the Commissioners ensued regarding the
intersections of Colorado Avenue and Century Drive, and Mount Washington
Drive and Century Drive. Bruce White indicated that it is his understanding that
this is covered by the consortium's proposal.

BARBARA MCAUSLAND OF BEND:
I thought this was to be concluded today. She read from a statement, which she
explained is premature. She submitted her written statement (Exhibit D).
PAUL DEWEY OF BEND:
(Representing the Sisters Forest Planning Committee, commented on public and
private land use issues) It appears what is proposed keeps shifting, and there
seems to be no idea when a final proposal will be available for review and
comment.
I have attended some hearings hosted by the City, and it is all very conceptual.
This is the first opportunity the public has had to testify on the development
agreement. There is no such thing in the State Statute as conceptual development
agreement. The draft development agreement does not meet standards in regard
to the seven-year term; the Statute reads differently as to when the time period
begins. It appears that the details are not readily apparent on this agreement, but
don't comply with Statute.
There is also a reference to heights of at least fifty feet, which is in essence
asking you for a variance. I want to encourage the Commissioners to not let the
City take the lead; and please do further review of traffic study done since traffic
impacts may also result from smaller developments, COCC expansion and other
developments.
BOB TUCKER:
Can I reserve my pubic testimony until the next hearing? (He was advised that
reservations are not made, but that he is welcome to sign up to give testimony at
that time)
BEVERLEY HEALY:
I am interested because I live in the area, in Broken Top, and now Cascade
Highlands will now be my back yard. I also hold a seat on the Board of Directors
of Mt. Bachelor, so any future development on the west side of Bend that may
bring in potential skiers is important to me, too.
BRUCE RONNING:
I am a staff member of Bend Metro Park & Recreation District, and want to call
the Board's attention to the open space, parks, trails and other amenities that
Cascade Highlands has agreed to provide outside of the development agreement.
I ask that the written record remain open, as I will submit my comments in
writing.

HOWARD PAINE:
(Of the Alliance for Responsible Land Use in Deschutes County - ARLUDeCo)
My group will review the latest documents. I believe the $500,000 contribution
toward the cost of the southern bridge falls short of the potential cost of the
impact of the traffic to come, and that there are a lot of questions still in the air.
I feel the impact will go far beyond the west side of Bend, and that 600 homes
would generate 6,000 daily trips, impacting the entire city; and add to that traffic
generated from the 480 room hotel and additional retail space.
DEWOLF:
Have you read the Kittleson traffic report?
PAINE:
I have not, and what I have stated is my opinion and that it's pretty obvious to me
this will happen. Who will pick up the cost of traffic throughout the balance of
the city? My group contends there should be no mitigation cap in the agreement;
and we are also concerned about allowing development outside urban growth
boundary within Bend's urban reserve area. The comprehensive plan states that
this should be reserved for long-term growth expansion. He submitted a letter
into the record (Exhibit E).
DEWOLF:
This was mapped years ago as a destination resort, and public input was gathered
at that time.
SWEARINGEN:
We will continue the public hearing on August 23rd, and news releases will be
done. The City needs to complete its work, and the public needs to keep itself
informed on how their work is progressing.
4. AN ORAL DECISION on Two Plan Amendments and Zone Change
Requests (PA -99-4 & ZC-99-1 and PA -99-5 & ZC-99-3), Barclay Meadows
and the Sisters School District
SWEARINGEN:
On Monday we outlined some of our concerns. We spoke about having an intent
to rezone, and setting up some parameters so that this can be accomplished.
Minutes of Board Meeting Page 8 of 21 Pages
Wednesday, July 26, 2000
BRUCE WHITE:
I raised a series of issues with the development agreement, and I think I sent you
a memo with those outlined. I did have a two-hour conversation yesterday with
Tia Lewis. I don't think we're both on the same page yet, but we did come a fair
distance in terms of resolving some of the issues I raised. I think there are still
going to be some uncertainties, some of which may be solved by the scope of the
transportation study.
For example, on the issue of McKinney Butte, because that is somewhat
uncertain as to its status in our plan; it is certainly not on any city plan. It may
well be that the traffic study shows that even if that is not built, they can meet the
requirements at the intersections of Pine and Locust. Are there particular things
that you want me to address; or how would you like to proceed here?
DEWOLF:
We raised a number of issues on Monday, and then we get an e-mail with sixteen
concerns and outstanding issues with the development agreement (Exhibit Q.
Unless all sixteen of those have been addressed, I have a hard time even voting on
this today. I had a number of questions, so I'm glad that Neil and Barbara are here.
WHITE:
I think what we need to try to do is to resolve these questions through staff.
DEWOLF:
So, let me ask staff, what is the timing on the Sisters comp plan?
CHRIS SCHMOYER:
I had sent an e-mail to the City of Sisters' to Neil Thompson, and he responded
but I was unable to open the document he sent me. I tried calling him but we
haven't hooked up yet.
DEWOLF:
So we don't know what the timing is yet on the Sisters' transportation system
plan, either.
SWEARINGEN:
May I suggest that you ask the questions, and we'll take a recess for a few
minutes and get those answers, and come back.
DEWOLF:
So, it would be the timing of the comp plan, the timing of the TSP; and if the TSP
is going to be completed in September, why we shouldn't just wait until
September to finalize this so that we'd have a TSP in place.
Minutes of Board Meeting Page 9 of 21 Pages
Wednesday, July 26, 2000
The other has to do with in general where we are dealing with outright allowed
uses, versus conditional uses that other cities might have in the IL zone -
specifically the four areas that were heavy industrial use.
Would we, or could we, without destroying our relationship with the Sisters City
Council, condition an agreement like this whereby they would amend their
ordinances in order to make these conditional uses require a city process, rather
than an outright use. I was specifically looking at page 21 of the hearings
officer's decision on that.
Finally, this development agreement expires seven years after the date that it is
signed, so we have fifty -foot setbacks for twenty- foot high buildings and 100
foot setbacks for taller structures. But at the end of seven years, there is nothing
to protect that fifty -foot setback. How do we respond, or how does the City
respond to those concerns? Those are the questions I would like answered.
(Planning officials and others adjourned to another room to address these
questions)
5. CONSIDERATION of Signature of a Decision on File No. MP -003 -CU -0011
(Appeal No. A-007), Overturning the Hearing Officer's Decision (Applicant:
George Cook; Property: Gentry Loop, Bend).
Tracy White, Deschutes County planner, was asked if the applicant has seen this
decision as written. She replied that he has not; that normally applicants are
represented by counsel who would prepare the decision. Paul Blikstad further
explained that since the applicant does not have counsel, his department is
writing the decision.
Chair Swearingen stated that this reflects what the Board has agreed to already.
Tracy White indicated that she and Kevin Harrison looked at code further and
clarified some language.
Commissioner Luke requested that the spelling of Gentry Loop be changed in the
conditions of approval. He expressed his disappointed this was not given to
applicant.
DEWOLF: I move approval, subject to legal review.

Contract between Deschutes County and the Extension/4-11 County Service

agreement. He said they will give notice that they would have 90 days to withdraw
if the premiums go up mid -year; they would have to pay for those 90 days while
they decide what to do. This gives the County the right to amend the plan; and the
same thing if the County has to lower benefits.

CONTINUATION OF AGENDA ITEM #4.
CHRIS SCHMOYER:
In response to the status of the expected adoption dates of the TSP and the Sisters
Comp Plan, Neal indicated that these would be processed concurrently, and a draft
would go to City Council in January 2001, with adoption expected within six months.
In regard to the setbacks and the seven-year agreement, they could possibly be
handled through a deed restriction or the adoption of a limited use combining zone
that would need to be created and adopted by the City.
SWEARINGEN:
So we could go ahead and say that we are going to give you an intent to rezone
based on the City ...
Minutes of Board Meeting Page 15 of 21 Pages
Wednesday, July 26, 2000
BRUCE WHITE:
We could do it as an option. I volunteered to help the City if they need me to supply
some language for a limited use combining zone. It either could be done through
this limited use combining zone that the City would adopt, or through an alternative,
such as a deed restriction. If you do a deed restriction that is held by the City, that
might work; or it could be held by adjoining land owners.
S WEARINGEN:
Doesn't it just make more sense to ask them to go through the process?
WHITE:
I preference is to not get into things where you have to bargain on individual deed
restrictions. It would be preferable to do it through some kind of limited use
combining zone.
DEWOLF:
All I want to get at is the fact that the development agreement expires in seven years,
and it's not a matter of faith in the current City Council or the current developers. It
will be a different City Council and different developers ten years from now. What
we want is the intent from this point to carry through ten years from now, twenty
years from now.
WHITE:
I am certainly more than willing to be helpful to the City in terms of providing
language to them based on the kind of things we've done with our limited use
combining zone. Obviously that would have to go through their Council.
SWEARINGEN:
So we can basically agree today that we will overturn the Hearings Officer's decision
based on the following criteria. If the City doesn't respond to what we have asked,
then nothing is going to happen.
DEWOLF:
May I suggest that we have this as a point of discussion when we meet with the
Sisters City Council on August 3rd, and work through this together?
WHITE:
One way to do this is to announce to all the parties that you are going to be there and
you're going to have that limited discussion, and they are able to come, too, and
provide written comments on what they hear.
Minutes of Board Meeting Page 16 of 21 Pages

LUKE:
The difference between the City's light industrial zone and the Sisters urban area
light industrial zone is that the County administers the urban one. I would go on the
record that I someone comes in and wants to put an asphalt plant or a wrecking yard,
I would call up the appeal without a charge to the person appealing. That's one vote.
DEWOLF:
That's an outright use; there is no appeal.
SCHMOYER:
It would be a land use application for a site plan.
LUKE:
The other thing is that we are in a transition; this is a situation where the impact is on
the City. Although it is in the County, it is their property. It is where they want to
develop and is where their future is, whether we do it now or ten years from now.
This is an area that will be in the City of Sisters. It really should be their
determination, and they have an elected body, and I believe that elected body has the
ability and the legal responsibility to properly maintain that property.
DEWOLF:
I absolutely agree with that. The only caveat is that it is not in the City now, and the
decision we make has implications for the future. When I get an e-mail that includes
sixteen different outstanding issues with the development agreement two days before
we are supposed to make a final decision, and questions that I would like to discuss
with the City Council arise, that's where I have difficulty with this. It would be great
if our legal counsel had met with the City's legal counsel and planning staff and
resolved these sixteen issues.
We don't have a 150 -day rule here. If this can get resolved in a couple of weeks,
great. That is all I am suggesting. There are a bunch of outstanding issues here, and
I would rather have it done right than to deal with the consequences later on.
WHITE:
Let me suggest another way. We are going to have to have our own hearing on the
development agreement, as we haven't had one yet. The City has. One thing that
you could put in your resolution of intent is that there be a development agreement
that covers certain points, obviously subject to the development agreement hearing
process.
DEWOLF:
And we could hold a public hearing at that date. So this intent now would be subject
to the resolution of that development agreement, being satisfactory to all parties.

Wednesday, July 26, 2000
WHITE:
I don't know how you want to outline the paraffieters of that. That might be one way
of handling it, as you still have to have a process of getting the County into the
development agreement as a party to it. That includes a hearing.
DEWOLF:
We are going to have a public hearing at one point or another.
WHITE:
The concern that we had before was not getting too involved because you didn't
want to pre judge where you are going on the merits of the application. It was kind
of a situation where the City held their hearings, but the County was not in a position
to make a decision because the record before you was still open. Now the record is
closed, and you've come to where you are starting to think about making a decision.
DEWOLF:
Let me be really clear. I have no problem with moving forward with the
development agreement. The voters of Sisters have approved this, and the City
Council and ODOT have reach resolution on transportation systems. I have some
issues personally with the fact that there are outright uses rather than conditional
uses.
I would like to see these resolved, if they can be resolved through a development
agreement through which we would have to have a public hearing, I am fine with
moving forward - as long as we condition our decision today on the results of that
public hearing and final development agreement. We can have the discussions,
whether at a public hearing or a meeting with the City Council. I want to move
forward here.
WHITE:
What I would like to do is come back to you with a draft resolution of intent that
lays out a series of points after I have had a chance to review it with City staff and
the applicant, so we have an idea of how we are going to get from point A to point
Z. What I am hearing you say today is "show us a way to get there through a
resolution of intent". I can't do this with all the particulars today. You could take a
vote to approve it, subject to a resolution of intent that covers certain basic points.
LUKE:
I believe we need to move forward. This has taken way too much time. I think we
should have made our decision long ago. If we are going to move forward with the
approval of a development agreement, we should have already been there.
Minutes of Board Meeting Page 18 of 21 Pages
Wednesday, July 26, 2000
I am asking planning staff and legal counsel, if a motion to approve the moving of
this property, to allow Sisters to incorporate it into their urban growth boundary, is
appropriate, with a caveat that based upon the County's involvement in the
development agreement with the City of Sisters, the owners/developers, is an
appropriate motion.
WHITE:
I think this pushes the concept forward.
[Ilii
The motion is that the County intends to approve allowing the City of Sisters to
move this property into its urban growth boundary. This would be subject to the
County being a part of a development agreement between the County, the City and
the developers.
WHITE:
That would cover the compatibility issue and some of the other issues about the IL
zone and traffic. One of the things that would need to be in the resolution of intent
is that there be an owner in place that can bind the property with the development
agreement.
LUKE:
We need to be very clear that we are not the ones controlling the development of that
property - the City of Sisters is. The subject that we're talking about for a
development agreement is the conflicts of uses, such as asphalt plants, wrecking
yards, and so on.
WHITE:
It will also cover the trip cap and those mitigation measures.
DEWOLF:
There are two major issues: compatibility and transportation.
LUKE:
The City has to be happy with the development agreement; and the County has to be
somewhat happy with the development agreement. The major impact is upon the
City of Sisters. Their staff, City Council and citizens are the ones who need to be
involved and satisfied with this agreement.
DEWOLF:
I will second that motion. I have one question. In the interim, can we discuss this
issue with the City Council at our next meeting with them?
Minutes of Board Meeting Page 19 of 21 Pages
Wednesday, July 26, 2000
LUKE:
I would point out to legal counsel that with this vote, this record is closed, and we
are starting a new process of working on the development agreement, and I would
think the answer would be yes.
WHITE:
Not until you have the written decision.
S WEARINGEN:
Staff could meet with the City of Sisters and bring the document back to us.
WHITE:
I would hope that the applicant would be responsible for coming up with the first
draft of the findings. (Applicant's Counsel Tia Lewis agreed.)
VOTE: LUKE: Aye.
DEWOLF: Yes.
SWEARINGEN: Chair votes aye.
Being no further discussion, Chair Linda Swearingen adjourned the meeting at

REQUEST: An application for a Development Agreement between Cascade Highlands
Limited Partnership and Deschutes County for a certain off-site road
Improvement contribution within the City of Bend for a proposed destination
resort project within the Urban Area Reserve (UAR-10) zone adjacent to the
Bend urban growth boundary.
STAFF CONTACT: Paul Blikstad, Associate Planner
I. STANDARDS AND APPLICABLE CRITERIA:
Title 19 of the Deschutes County Code:
Chapter 19.106, Destination Resorts
19.106.070, Approval Criteria, subsection G
Oregon Revised Statutes 94.504 through 94.528
11. FINDINGS OF FACT:
1. LOCATION: The property that is the subject of the proposed Development Agreement is
described on the draft development agreement exhibit *X. It is identified on County Assessor's
map 18-11, tax lot 100R1; 18-11-1, tax lot 300R1; 18-11-12, tax lot 301; 17-11, tax lots 500 and
6203R2.
2. ZONING: The subject property is zoned Urban Area Reserve (UAR-10), and is designated Urban
Reserve on the Bend Area General Plan.
File No. IA -00-4
Page 1
3. REQUEST: The subject application is for a Development Agreement between the applicant and
the County to specify what off-site road improvements within the City limits of Bend will be applied
to the potential development of a destination resort on the subject property. The,applicant has
submitted the following in support of this application:
• Statement is Support of Application
• Executive Summary and full copy of West Bend Traffic Study, Transportation Impact
Analysis by Kittleson & Associates
• Two maps:
1. West Bend Traffic Consortium, Westside Transportation Plan, Properties and
Improvements Exhibit Map.
2. West Side Traffic Consortium, Cascade Highlands, Property Exhibit Map
• Draft Development Agreement
According to the information submitted by the applicant (as stated in Article II of the draft
development agreement) the proposed destination resort is to include the following:
Up to 367 single-family dwellings, 243 multi family dwellings, 128 condominiums, 40,000
square feet of retail, 18 -hole golf course, 350 -room resort hotel and a 260 -room conference
hotel.
The proposed limit of an off-site improvement exaction of $500,000 for the destination resort is
only for those road improvements inside the city limits of Bend. This exaction Is proposed to be
applied to the south bridge crossing between Reed Market Road and Century Drive over the
Deschutes River. The proposed destination resort may have other off-site road improvement
requirements for roads that are outside the city limits. These improvements are not covered by
the Development Agreement and would be analyzed at the time of land use review of the project.
4. AGENCY COMMENTS: The Planning Division sent out transmittal notices on the proposed
development agreement application and received the following responses:
Oregon Department of Transportation:
The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) appreciates the opportunity to comment upon
the proposed agreement between Cascade Highlands Limited Partnership (CHLP) and
Deschutes County. CHLP is part of the West Bend Traffic Consortium and is in the initial stages
of planning a 600 -unit resort on 1,300 acres west of Broken Top. ODOT has two concerns about
the proposed agreement; one is operational and the second is financial.
Operationally, the attached maps indicate a connection to OR 372 approximately 350 to 400 feet
west of West Campbell Drive. (I realize that the proposed collector's indicated location is more
for general display purposes, rather than engineering purposes.) The spacing standard for a
District Level Highway with a posted speed of 55 mph is 700 feet. Any connection to OR 372
would either need to comply with ODOTs spacing standards or go through the deviation process
outlined in Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) Chapter 734 Division 51, Section 0320, 0330 and
0350.
The financial concerns relate to the operational aspects of the development. The development's
impacts to the system will require mitigation to OR 372 (Century Drive) and proportional
contributions to Mt. Washington Ddve1OR 372. The costs for a left -tum refuge and attendant
widenings as well as improvements to Mt. Washington could exceed the $500,000 ceiling cited by
CHLP. The state does not agree to the cap concept as the developer must mitigate the impacts
to the state transportation system. The costs of such mitigation may be less or may be more than
$500,000; the amounts will be determined during site plan review.
File No. IA -00-4
Page 2
Staff note: The proposed development agreement would limit the County's requirements for off-
site road improvements for the proposed destination resort inside the city limits of Bend, but
would not prevent the County from requiring road improvements that are outside the city limits.
County Road Department:
Cascade Highlands Ltd, Partnership is requesting that a public hearing be held to review a
proposed development agreement for the applicant's proposed destination resort. The
destination resort is being proposed for a 1,300 acre site located on Bend's west side. Cascade
Highlands is a part of the West Bend Traffic Consortium that is a group of public entity and private
landowners on Bend's west side. The Consortium has submitted a proposal to the city of Bend to
make certain transportation facility improvements on the western side of Bend. The consortium
formed in response to the projected failure of the west side transportation system.
Cascade Highlands is proposing, under the submitted development agreement, to establish and
limit the extent of any off-site transportation improvements that will be required in connection with
their development of the property. The proposal of Cascade Highlands is to limit their obligation
for off-site improvements to $500,000 that will go toward the cost of the southern bridge crossing.
The consortium of west side developers has requested that its share of the total cost of the bridge
be limited to $2.8 million.
In reviewing the material submitted on behalf of the application, the Road Department
recommends that the development agreement must include the following condition:
The $500,000 limit for Cascade Highlands share of the south river crossing bridge or any other
limitation on city or ODOT road facilities does not limit the county's ability to require the developer
to make transportation improvements on county facilities needed for this project.
Also add to Exhibit "C" of the agreement:
e) Improve Skyliner Road to current county road standards along the entire length of the
development.
f) Any other improvements deemed necessary by Deschutes County in accordance with
current Deschutes County Code.
Note: Deschutes County reserves the right to require the Cascade Highlands Ltd. Partnership to
build all on-site public road improvements to full county urban standards. The county also
reserves its right to review all on-site road, trail and pedestrian facilities (private or public) at the
time the master plan for the project is submitted.
City of Bend:
As previously discussed the City recommends that the County move forward with the adoption of
the Cascade Highlands Development Agreement subject to the following:
• The City respectfully requests that the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners
tentatively approve the development agreement. The applicant should be conditioned
such that if the City of Bend development agreements are not approved, for any reason,
the County approval is void. This way the City and County can approve a comprehensive
package rather than the applicant receiving one approval without the rest of the linked
agreements being approved by the City of Bend.
The City staff fully intends to bring the Issue before the City Council during August 2000. Final
details are being resolved at this time. The City believes that the offer by the Consortium, with
File No. IA -00-4
Page 3
modifications previously discussed, is a reasonable solution to the traffic problems on the west
side of Bend. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.
5. PUBLIC COMMENTS: The Planning Division sent out written notice to surrounding property
owners of the subject property. One letter has been received to date by the County
Commissioner's Office. This letter expressed concern over the possibility of the destination resort
development taking access through the Broken Top development.
6. LAND USE ACTION SIGN: The applicant's representative has submitted a notarized land use
action sign affidavit stating that the two signs prepared by the County Planning Division were
posted on July 12, 2000, one on Skyliners Road and the other on Century Drive.
Ill. CONCLUSIONARY FINDINGS:
1. Oregon Revised Statutes 94.504 through 94.528 governs proposed development agreements.
94.504 Development agreements; requirements, contents. (1) A city or county may enter
Into a development agreement as provided In ORS 94.504 to 94.528 with any person
having a legal or equitable Interest In real property for the development of that property.
(2) A development agreement shall specify:
(a) The duration of the agreement, which may not exceed four years for a
development of fewer than seven lots or seven years for a development of
seven or more lots;
(b) The permitted uses of the property;
(c) The density or Intensity of use;
(c0 The maximum height and size of proposed structures;
(e) Provisions for reservation or dedication of land for public purposes;
(t) A schedule of fees and charges;
(g) A schedule and procedure for compliance review;
(h) Responsibility for providing Infrastructure and services;
(I) The effect on the agreement when changes In regional policy or federal or
state law or rules render compliance with the agreement Impossible,
unlawful or Inconsistent with such laws, rules or policy;

File No. IA -00-4
Page 4
The development agreement shall further provide that nothing In the
agreement requires a city or county to appropriate such moneys.
(6) A development agreement must state the assumptions underlying the
agreement that relate to the ability of the city or county to serve the
development. The development agreement must also specify the
procedures to be followed when there Is a change in circumstances that
affects compliance with the agreement.
FINDING: The proposed draft development agreement is to be reviewed by Deschutes County
Legal Counsel for meeting all of the above standards. Based on County Planning Division staff
review of the draft agreement, it appears that all of the above components have been included
within the agreement. Whether they are adequately written to the satisfaction of County Legal
Counsel will be determined.
94.508 Approval by governing body; findings; adoption. (1) A development
agreement shall not be approved by the governing body of a city or county unless
the governing body flnds that the agreement Is consistent with local regulations
then In place for the city or county.
(2) The governing body of a city or county shall approve a development
agreement or amend a development agreement by adoption of an ordinance
declaring approval or setting forth the amendments to the agreement.
Notwithstanding ORS 197.015(10)(b), the approval or amendment of a
development agreement Is a land use decision under ORS Chapter 197.
FINDING: The County has no specific requirements for a development agreement in the
Deschutes County Code. The approval of any proposed project on the subject property is
subject to review by the County through the land use process. Consistency with section
19.106.070(6) of Title 19 is to be addressed in the findings that the applicant is proposing to
submit prior to the agreement hearing.
If the proposed development agreement is approved by the County, it will be adopted by
Ordinance. The proposed development agreement is being handled as a land use decision by
the Planning Division, including notice to surrounding property owners, posted notice on the two
main roads adjacent to the property, notice in the Bend Bulletin, and a public hearing before the
Deschutes County Board of Commissioners.
94.513 Procedures on consideration and approval. (1) A city or county may, by
ordinance, establish procedures and requirements for the consideration of
development agreements upon application by, or on behalf of, the owner of
property on which development Is sought or another person having a legal or
equitable Interest In that property.
(3) Approval of a development agreement requires compliance with local
regulations and the approval of the city or county governing body after notice and
hearing. The notice of the hearing shall, In addition to any other requirements,
state the time and place of the public hearing and contain a brief statement of the
major terms of the proposed development agreemen4 Including a description of
the area within the city or county that will be affected by the proposed
development agreement.
File No. IA -00-4
Page 5
FINDING: The County has not adopted an OrAnance which establishes mocedures and
requirements for consideration of the development agreement. This application is being
handled as a quasi-judicial land use decision, subject to notice and hearing requirements of Title
22 of the Deschutes County Code, the County Land Use Procedures Ordinance. The County
has no specific local regulations in place for development agreements. As indicated in a
foregoing finding, any proposed project on the subject property must be reviewed through the
land use process. The notice sent out by the County on the proposed development agreement
contains the time and place of the hearing, a brief statement of the major terms of the
agreement, including a description of the area within the County that will be affected by the
proposed agreement.
94.518 Application of local govemment law and policies to agreement Unless
otherwise provided by the development agreement, the comprehensive plan,
zoning ordinances and other rules and policies of the Jurisdiction governing
permitted uses of land, density and design applicable to the development of the
property subject to a development agreement shall be the comprehensive plan
and those ordinances, rules and policies of the jurisdiction In effect at the time of
approval of the development agreement
FINDING: if a land use application(s) is submitted for the subject property, the application will
be reviewed against the existing comprehensive plan and zoning regulations in effect at the time
of the approval of the development agreement. Staff does not anticipate any changes in the
zoning regulations with respect to the applicant's UAR-10 zoned land, and consequently those
standards under Title 19 will be used to review any proposed application.
94.522 Amendment of cancellation of agreement; enforceability. (1) A
development agreement may be amended or canceled by mutual consent of the
parties to the agreement or their successors In Interest The governing body of a
city or county shall amend or cancel a development agreement by adoption of an
ordinance declaring cancellation of the agreement or setting forth the
amendments to the agreement
(2) Und! a development agreement Is canceled under this section, the terms of the
development agreement are enforceable by any party to the agreement
FINDING: If any amendment or cancellation is proposed for the development agreement after
recording, it will have to meet the above standards.
94.528 Recording. Not later than 10 days after the execution of a development
agreement under ORS 94.504 to 94.528, the governing body of the city or county
shall cause the development agreement to be presented for recording In the office
of the county clerk of the county In which the property subject to the agreement Is
situated. In addition to. other provisions required by ORS 94.504 to 94.528, the
development agreement shall contain a legal description of the property subject
to the agreement
FINDING: If the development agreement is signed by the county, it must be recorded within 10
days of that date. The draft development agreement submitted by the applicant contains a legal
description of the property that is subject to the agreement.
File No. IA -00-4
Page 6
CONCLUSION:
The Board will need to decide whether the proposed development agreement meets the
standards under ORS 94.504 through 94.528, and whether the assurances from the City of
Bend that the west side traffic issues have been adequately addressed through the
Consortium's proposed solutions. This proposed development agreement and the $500,000
contribution, is purported to be one piece of the traffic issues solution, but a piece that according
to the City, is critical to the entire west side traffic issues resolution.
The Board, should they decide to approve the development agreement, will need to adopt an
ordinance for the agreement, with the agreement being an attachment to the ordinance. it is
staffs opinion that the proposed development agreement (ordinance) should be adopted either
in conjunction with the City's formal written approval of the Consortium's overall plan, or after
the City's approval.

Outline of Components of Westside Consortium Proposal
Background
The West Bend Traffic Consortium made a proposal to the City Council on January 19,
2000. As directed by Council, staff has reviewed the proposal and technical reports submitted by
the consortium. The discussions between staff and the consortium have proceeded along the
lines set forth in this outline and in the June 7, 2000; issue summary provided to the Council.
The City Council has not taken any action that commits the City of Bend to the terns set
forth in this outline or in any earlier presentation made to the Council. A public hearing is
scheduled for the meeting of June 21, 2000 to hear public comment on the consortium's
proposal.
This outline provides the terms and conditions of the proposal set forth by the
consortium, following discussions with staff. Nothing in this outline commits the City of Bend
to any particular method for resolving the transportation issues on the west side of town.
Generally, there are three components of the proposal to improve transportation facilities
on the west side. The three components include: (1) a local improvement district (LID)
covering all necessary traffic system streets and intersections; (2) development agreements to
establish uses and impacts from the properties; and (3) a LID for the southern bridge. LID
The first component is a LID covering all intersection improvements and street
connections. As discussed below, a second LID addresses the construction of the southern
bridge. As presented to the Council on June 7, 2000, the LID approach was recommended by
staff to assure that all traffic system improvements are completed in a timely manner. The
location/timing/sequence of the necessary system fixes has been established through traffic
analyses (both Kittleson and in-house).
The LID has the following provisions and conditions:
1. The LID would be initiated by a petition submitted to the City Council by the
consortium members. The city would decide whether to adopt a resolution to
form the LID. This is.the standard procedure on LID petitions.
2. The petitioners for this LID are:
• Brooks Resources
• Broken Top
• Skyliner Summit
• Century Park LLC
OUTLINE OF CONSORTIUM PROPOSAL
PACE
• River Bend
• COCC
• West Bend Prop. Co.
• Shevlin Heights
• West Side Meadows
By the terms of the LID, each petitioner is responsible for one or more traffic
system improvements. The LID petition lists the improvements to be made, the
responsible property owner, and the schedule for improvements. The following
improvements are included:
• A roundabout at 9th and Newport;
• A roundabout at 14th and Newport;
• A roundabout at Newport and College Way;
• A roundabout at Shevlin Park Road and Mt. Washington;
• A roundabout at Mt. Washington and Skyliners Road;
• A roundabout at Mt. Washington and Century Drive;
• A roundabout at 14th and Galveston;
• A roundabout at 14th and Simpson;
• Completion of Mt. Washington Dr. from Skyliners Rd. to Troon Ave.;
• Completion of Mt..Washington Drive from Century Drive to the Southern
River Crossing; and
• Completion of Skyliner Road from Lindsay Ct. to Mt. Washington
(Skyliner Summit L.P.'s portion).
4. The schedule of improvements ensures that the westside transportation system
will function acceptably during all phases of development.
S. The LID assigns the responsibility for construction of specific improvements to
one or more particular property owners, but on a global basis ensures that the
entire system is fixed as necessary.
6. At the time set for construction of each traffic system improvement, the
responsible property owner has the option of building the improvement (to an
approved design) with their own funds or using the LID financing. If constructed
outside of the LID, the responsible property is released from the LID. If LID
financing is used, then the responsible property would be assessed the
construction costs for the improvement as in other LIDs. The assessment would
become a lien to be paid by the property owner in cash or through installments, if
it is financed with Bancroft bond;.
7. If a property owner that is responsible for a particular improvement is not ready to
develop, the city would pay the installment payments on the bonds until the
property was ready to develop or for 7 years (the term of the development
agreements). The city will be entitled to retain collected SDCs generated by
development of the property to cover its payment of interim installments. If the
OUTLINE OF CONSORTIUM PROPOSAL
PAGE 2
city makes interim payments and the property owner does not take over bond
payments, the city would have the right to foreclose on the assessment lien.
8. The LID approach is consistent with the TSP recommendations made by BTAC
and supplies all necessary transportation system improvements while allowing
development to proceed in an orderly fashion.
9. The city is obligated to obtain right-of-way for all necessary intersections and
road improvements. In many cases, right-of-way is being dedicated, but it is the
city's obligation to ensure that right-of-way is available when needed
II. Development Agreements
By state law, the city is authorized to enter into development agreements to establish the
development rights and obligations for a specific property. A development agreement is a type
of land use decision. In this case, the development agreements are used to establish the level of
development on tho properties so that the planned transportation system improvements work
acceptably and, based on that density, confirm that no additional off-site traffic exactions are
imposed against the properties in the future.
The development agreements require that all other issues related to the land use approvals
for a project (other than off-site transportation) are subject to future land use review. As a result,
only off-site transportation mitigation is being finalized through the development agreements.
The development agreements provide for the following:
1. Article I: Establish that the development agreements are effective
following adoption and final approval of the land use
applications for a particular property. The development
agreement has a 7 year term.
2. Article II: This section describes the planned land uses on a property
and the proposed or pending land use applications.
3. Article III: Provides that property owner obligations (other than those set
forth in the LID petition) are contingent on final approval of
the referenced land use approvals.
4. Articles IV, V, VI: Identifies the permitted uses, density, and maximum heights
for the property.
S. Article VII: Outlines the provisions for dedications of land for public
purposes.
6. Article VIII: Requires that all usual fees be paid for future land use
actions, except fees or costs related to off-site transportation
impacts.
OUTLINE OF CONSORTIUM PROPOSAL
PAGE 3
7. Article IX: Sets up an annual compliance requirement requiring annual
reports to the city.
8. Article X: Outlines the property owner's responsibility for providing
infrastructure and services. This section provides that in
exchange for the maximum density rights vested by the
development agreement, the property owner agrees to make
the required off-site street and transportation -related
improvements. The city agrees that these required
improvements satisfy the property owner's obligations and
that no additional off-site traffic mitigation can be imposed.
It also provides for SDC reimbursement.
9. Article XI and XII: Outline the assumptions and contingencies for the
development agreement. In particular, the development
agreements are contingent on final approval of the necessary
land use requests, city acquisition of necessary right-of-way
and construction of the necessary traffic facilities.
10. Article XIII: Binds successors and assigns.
11. Article XIV: Outlines the future land use requests necessary for the
property and rogWres that the standard process be followed
on all future land use requests except with regard to off-site
transportation issues.
III. LID for Southern Bridge Construction
The third component of the consortium proposal is for the formation of a LID for the
construction of the southern bridge. The terms and conditions of this LID are as follows:
1. The petitioners (property owners) for this LID are the following private and
public entities:
• Brooks Resources Corporation
• West Bend Property Co.
• Skyliner Summit LP
• Western Communications, Inc. (the Bulletin)
• Bend-LaPine Administrative School District
2. The LID petition allocates the costs of the construction of the bridge among the
property owners to a cap of $2.8 million (this includes a S500,000 non -
reimbursable contribution from Cascade Highlands, L.P. (CHLP)).
OUTLINE OF CONSORTIUM PROPOSAL
PAGE: 4
3. The petitioners agree that if the actual cost of constructing the bridge is less than
$2.8 million, the city shall be entitled to keep the excess over the actual cost,
provided that the city applies those excess funds to the cost of constructing the
Reed Market Road extension to the bridge. If the actual costs of constructing the
bridge is more than $2.8 million, the city shall bear the additional costs.
4. The city is responsible for obtaining right-of-way that needs to be purchased for
the bridge and connections to the bridge. The city is also responsible for
obtaining all permits (land use, environmental, etc.) for bridge construction.
5. The property owners' obligations under the petition are contingent on (a) the city
obtaining all necessary permits and right-of-way; (b) ODOT and property owner
agreement on roadway design and access issues west of river to intersection of
Century Drive; (c) amendment of the City's street SDC policy to allow a shared
citywide recovery area.
6. Subject to approval of a development agreement between Cascade Highlands
Limited Partnership (CHLP), Deschutes County and the city, CHLP will make a
non -reimbursable $500,000 contribution to the LID.
7. The consortium proposes that the City's Street SDC Policy be changed so that the
City would provide for SDC support of the LID financing of the bridge from a
citywide shared recovery area. Under'this proposal, the city would make
payments from SDCs from the citywide shared recovery area toward the principal
of the LID bonds equal to 10% of the annual collection of citywide shared
recovery SDCs; not to exceed 20% of the original assessments plus any principal
payments made by the petitioners in any given year. Petitioners would be
responsible for all interest charges resulting from the assessments and for paying
principal due on the bonds if funds from citywide SDC collections are inadequate
to pay the principal.

Statement in Support of Application
I. Introduction
Cascade Highlands Limited Partnership (CHLP) has made application to
Deschutes County for a development agreement. A development agreement is a
land use decision governed by the provisions of ORS 94.504 through 94.528.
CHLP is a member of the West Bend Traffic Consortium ("Consortium"),
a group of public -entity and private landowners on Bend's westside and along
Bend's westside urban reserve area that submitted a proposal to the city of Bend
to make transportation facility improvements on the western side of Bend.
CHLP's property is located west of the Broken Top development and between
Century Drive and Skyliner Road. The property is located outside the city limits
of Bend and is under the land use planning jurisdiction of Deschutes County. As
a result of its location in the urban reserve area, the issue in the Consortium's
proposal that relates to CHLP is a matter for county review.
This application summarizes the Consortium's proposal and outlines the
specific provisions related to CHLP's proposed development agreement with
Deschutes County.
II. Background
Pursuant to ORS 94.504, a county is authorized to enter into a
development agreement for the development of property. A development
agreement has a duration of seven years for a development of seven or more lots.
By law, a development agreement must identify the permitted uses of the
property, the density or intensity of uses, the maximum height of proposed
structures, a schedule of compliance review and the responsibility for providing
infrastructure'and services. Other specific provisions are also required by the
statute.
The development agreement proposed by CHLP (in similar fashion to the
other Consortium members' development agreements with the city) specifies the
extent to which CHLP may develop its property under existing zoning and
subdivision regulation and establishes the off-site transportation improvements
that will be required in connection with CHLP's development of the property
under the Consortium proposal. The proposed uses on the CHLP property include
residential uses and a destination resort.
III. CHLP Property
The CHLP property consists of approximately 1,300 acres as depicted on
the attached map. It is essentially comprised of two main areas. The large parcel
has a zoning designation of Urban Area Reserve (UAR-10). Since 1996, it also
has been eligible for destination resort development when it was mapped with the
Destination Resort Overlay Zone (DR) by the city and county. The other parcel
in the southeast corner is zoned UAR-10. CHLP acquired this area from the Bend
Park and Recreation District in 1999. As a part of periodic review of the Bend
Area General Plan, this parcel is eligible for review for destination resort
mapping. The city and county have identified the need in the periodic review
process for the Bend Area General Plan to consider revisions to the destination
resort mapping of land in the Urban Reserve Area that has been transferred from
public to private ownership. This mapping update process has already been
approved as a work task item for the periodic review process for the Bend Area
General Plan and will be considered during the periodic review process.
IV. Overview of Consortium Proposal
There are three main components of the Consortium's proposal to improve
transportation facilities on Bend's west side. The proposal, as modified through
the city process, includes: 1) a local improvement district (LID) covering all
necessary transportation improvements; 2) development agreements to establish
maximum uses/densities and off-site transportation mitigation requirements; and
3) a LID for the financing of the southern bridge crossing across the Deschutes
River.
Transportation LID. The first component is a LID covering transportation
system improvements. The petitioner for the LID are Brooks Resources, Broken
Top LLP, Skyliner Summit LLP, Century Park LLC, River Bend LLP, COCC,
West Bend Property Co., Shevlin Heights, and West Side Meadows. Under the
terms of this LID, each petitioner is responsible for one or more transportation
system improvement(s), plus other identified off-site improvement(s) (trails,
sidewalks, bike lanes, etc.). Several roundabouts and road linkages are proposed
as a part of the LID. The location, timing, and sequence of the necessary system
fixes have been established through transportation impact analyses. Overall, the
schedule of improvements ensures that the westside transportation system will
function acceptably during all phases of development as identified by the
Consortium proposal. The LID assigns the responsibility for construction of
specific improvements to one or more of the petitioners, but on a global basis
ensures that the entire system in the traffic study area is improved as necessary.
Development Agreements. The second component is the development
agreement. In this case, the development agreement is used to establish the level
and type of development on the properties, including CHLP, so that the planned
transportation system improvements work acceptably and, based on that density,
confirm that no additional off-site transportation exactions are imposed against
the properties in the future. The only issue being addressed in the development
agreements relate to the satisfaction of off-site transportation mitigation. All
other issues related to the land use approvals for a project are subject to future
land use review. Again, only off-site transportation mitigation is being finalized
through the development agreements.
The specific provisions of the CHLP development agreement are
discussed below.
Southern Bridge LID. The third component is a LID for the financing of
the southern bridge crossing. For this LID, the petitioners are Bend-LaPine
Administrative School District, the Bulletin, Skyliner Summit, West Bend
Property Co., and Brooks Resources. The LID petition allocates the costs of the
construction of the bridge among the petitioners to a cap of $2.8 million. This
includes a $500,000 contribution from CHLP. The LID will provide that if the
actual cost of constructing the bridge is less than $2.8 million, the city shall be
entitled to keep the excess over the actual cost, provided that the city applies those
excess funds to the cost of constructing the Reed Market extension to the bridge.
If the actual costs of constructing the bridge is more than $2.8 million, the city
shall bear the additional costs. In addition, the city is responsible for obtaining
any remaining right-of-way for the bridge and the connections to the bridge. The
city is also responsible for obtaining all permits (land use, environmental, etc.) for
bridge construction. The LID will provide for reimbursement for its participants,
except for CHLP who is making its contribution of $500,000 on a non -
reimbursable basis since it cannot be a LID petitioner as its lands are outside the
city limits.
CHLP's participation in the Consortium proposal relates to its contribution
of $500,000 to the southern bridge LID. As a member of the Consortium, CHLP
has agreed to contribute $500,000 toward the southern bridge LID. Unlike other
Consortium members in this LID that would receive reimbursement from System
Development Charges (SDCs), this is a non -reimbursable contribution. The
development agreement between CHLP and Deschutes County is intended to
serve as the land use decision binding CHLP to the contribution and establishing
the vesting of its land use rights on the property together with the confirmation
that no additional off-site transportation mitigation will be required (except as
noted in the development agreement) in connection with CHLP's development of
the property consistent with its development plans (uses and densities) identified
in the Consortium proposal.
V. CHLP's Development Agreement
Under the Consortium proposal, the project on the CHLP property
includes the development of single-family dwellings consistent with the UAR- 10
zoning on a portion of the property and various dwelling units, hotels, a golf
course and retail space as components of a destination resort. The specific
project's development uses and densities have been incorporated in the
Consortium proposal and analyzed in the overall transportation impact analysis
that includes projections of year 2007 and 2020 buildout. Both of these projected
development buildout scenarios have been analyzed and evaluated in the traffic
impact analysis prepared by Kittleson and Associates as part of the Consortium
proposal. As with other Consortium member projects, this development plan of
CHLP is fully accommodated by the planned transportation improvements
included in the LIDs and development agreements of the Consortium proposal.
As a part of its development agreement, CHLP intends to commit to the
construction of the new planned north -south collector that bisects its property as
well as the extension of Metolius Drive to the new collector. Construction of the
new collector will be completed as the property is developed. In addition, CHLP
is committing to build numerous trails as depicted on the attached maps. The new
collector and Metolius Drive will be constructed with sidewalks and -bike lanes.
CHLP also recognizes that the collector's intersection on the south at Century
Drive will be subject to future review by ODOT, the city, and Deschutes County.
The northern intersection at Skyliner will need to have further review by the
county. CHLP is not intending to address the specific requirements of those
intersections within this proposed development agreement, and they will be
subject to future land use review processes. The development agreement will
provide a benchmark for development on the CHLP property and establish that
for development up to that benchmark as analyzed in the. Consortium proposal
and transportation impact analysis, no other additional off-site transportation
mitigation will be required, except as provided for in the development agreement.
By separate submittal, CHLP will provide a copy of the overall
transportation impact analysis for the Consortium proposal. Attached as a part of
this submittal is a copy of the Executive Summary prepared by Kittleson and
Associates for the Consortium proposal. CHLP is committed to working with
Deschutes County toward a development agreement in accordance with the
Consortium proposal and the on going concurrent processes occurring with the
Bend City Council.
West Bend Traft Study Exp Summary
Executive Summary
The westside consortium (herein referred to as "the consortium") includes 12 diverse entities that
have joined together for the purposes of funding transportation improvements on the west side of
Bend. This consortium formed in response to the projected failure of the westside transportation
system in the next five years. Several transportation impact studies have recently identified the need
to address transportation needs along the Wh Street, Newport Avenue, and Century Drive corridors.
These studies have evaluated the impacts of individual developments on intersection and roadway
needs near the individual sites. The consortium recognized the need to evaluate the transportation
system in a more comprehensive manner in order to identify near-term and long-term transportation
capacity and connectivity improvement needs. This report summarizes the results of that analysis.
The entities that are part of the consortium include: Brooks Resources Corporation; Broken Top
Limited Partnership; Skyliners Summit Limited Partnership; Cascade Highlands Limited
Partnership; West Bend Property Company LLC; Shevlin Heights Limited Partnership; Westside
Meadows LLP; Century Park, LLC; River Bend Limited Partnership; the Bend Bulletin; Bend -La
Pine School District; and Central Oregon Community College (COCC). The Bend -La Pine School
District, COCC, and the Old Mill District (OMD) Retail Village have already obtained land use
approvals from the City of Bend and are contributing to the consortium as part of previous approval
conditions for the projects. The Bend Bulletin has also received land use approvals from the city.
The remaining members of the consortium are proposing new projects for land .use approval. As
part of the consortium proposal, the members will fund the construction of single -lane roundabouts
at eight intersections on the west side of Bend as part of an overall development agreement for the
site. The development agreement will be valid for a period of seven years. During the seven years,
the consortium members can develop their individual properties to a level consistent with that
documented in this report without triggering the need for any additional off-site transportation
mitigation measures. For this reason, the analysis summarized in this report evaluates forecast year
2007 conditions. The report also includes an evaluation of forecast year 2020 conditions. This
analysis was perfonmed to identify for the City of Bend what the ultimate improvement needs are at
the study area intersections.
The detailed assumptions, methodologies, and findings of the consortium traffic analysis are
presented in later sections of this report. The report includes an analysis of traffic operations at nine
existing intersections on the west side of Bend, a qualitative analysis of the adequacy of the existing
and proposed pedestrian and bicycle system in the study area, and recommendations for
transportation improvements. The primary findings of the report are summarized below.
• Under existing conditions, two of the study area intersections require mitigation
measures to meet the City's criteria for acceptable operating standards. These are 14`h
Street/Galveston A%-enue and 14`h Streev" ewport Avenue. A roundabout N currently
under construction at the She% -lin Park N-101.1111, Washington Dri%-c intersection.

ArKe•/.con A AtepCINeS Inc'.
West Bew rank study EywVoi-
• With build -out of the consortium and growth in background traffic, all of the study area
intersections except 14`h Street -Century Drive/Colorado Avenue and Shevlin
Park/Mount Washington Drive will require mitigation. The consortium is proposing to
construct roundabouts at eight of these intersections (the - Shevlin Park/Mount
Washington Drive roundabout is currently under construction). The installation of a
traffic signal at these intersections would also allow the intersections to function
acceptably in the future. The configurations required to meet City operational criteria for
each of the intersections and the mitigated levels of service are shown in the table below.
• Per the development agreements, the consortium will fund single lane roundabouts at
seven of the study area intersections and a double -lane roundabout at the Century
Drive/Mount Washington Drive intersection (this , intersection will be originally
constructed as a single -lane roundabout, with accominodations to expand to a double -
lane when needed). Four additional intersections may need to be upgraded to a double
lane roundabout within seven years if growth occurs as forecast. Per the development
agreements, the city will upgrade these intersections to double -lane roundabouts at the
time the intersection improvement is needed. In addition, the city will construct a single
lane roundabout at the Mount Washington Drive/Simpson Avenue intersection when the
improvement is warranted.
With the roadway and intersection improvements identified in this report in-place, no
additional vehicular improvements. will be necessary to accommodate the seven year
buildout of the consortium and to meet the city's operational criteria. Adequate public
facilities will be available for vehicular travel. These facilities will be consistent with the
long-range transportation plan for the city, as outlined in the Bend Urban Area
Transportation System Plan.
Several transportation system improvements are proposed by the consortium that will
serve connectivity needs on the westside for cyclists, pedestrians, and vehicles. These
include 17.9 miles of sidewalks and 14.8 miles of bicycle lanes along roadways and 14.0
miles of trails. These improvements, in combination with improvements made by the
City in existing developed areas, will provide pedestrians and cyclists with a
comprehensive network on the west side of Bend. With the proposed improvements in
place, all of the collector and arterial roadways within the study area will have sidewalks
on at least one side of the roadway and bicycle lanes and/or a mixed use trail suitable for
two-way pedestrian and bicyclist travel.
The proposed pedestrian and bicycle facilities will mitigate the following system
deficiencies between pedestrian generators on the westside: Cascade Middle School and
neighborhoods to the north along Mt. Washington Drive or to the south along Century
Drive; neighborhoods to the west of 14`h and the Rosie Barets Community Center.
commercial areas, and parks along and to the east of 14`h; neighborhoods to the south of
Mt. Washington Drive along Century Drive and commercial. school, and recreational
destinations within the city limits. the existing westside neighborhoods and High Lakes
Elementary and Summit High School; and the Westside Church and neighborhoods to
the west.
• It is estimated that a traffic signal or roundabout will need it, be installed at each of the
study area intersection. %%ithin the next three years. Gi%rn the aggressive buildtnit

scenarios included in the consortium proposal, the improvement schedule identified in
this report is likely accelerated. For this reason, it is recommended that the city begin
right-of-way acquisition and preliminary design and engineering during the year
identified in the report. The city should also establish a comprehensive monitoring
program of intersection operations to determinewhen a particular improvement is
needed. This program should be based on the operational performance of the
intersections.

RE: Cascade Highlands Development Agreement File No.
Your agenda for next week includes a public hearing on the Cascade Highlands Development
Agreement. A draft of that agreement has been submitted by Cascade Highlands. Following
discussions with staff and in consultation between the developer and the City of Bend, the
agreement is still being refined. We expect to have a revised draft for you on Friday.
In the meantime, I have attached a basic explanation of what a development agreement does and
what the general concept is behind the Cascade Highlands development agreement is.
From talking with Nancy Craven, there is no expectation that we will be in a position to take
action on the development agreement at next Wednesday's meeting. There may still be the need
for further tweaking and we may wish to leave the record open. It appears that the City is not
expecting to take action on the development agreements before them until August. Staff would
recommend that the City take the lead in adopting the development agreements and that we
follow their lead.
Because the Cascade Highlands development agreement is aimed at resolving traffic issues and
traffic improvements within the City of Bend only, we have asked that City staff address you at
the hearing. They have agreed to do so.
Development Agreements Generally
• A development agreement is a device that offers regulatory certainty to developers
who may be required to make a substantial investment in infrastructure prior to
proceeding with their development by allowing a developer to "lock in" (at a
preliminary time period in which he expects to commit funds to preparatory
infrastructure improvements) the current approval standards as the standards under
which his prospective development will be evaluated during a future permitting
proceeding.
• Under a development agreement, a developer can thus proceed to commit funds to
infrastructure with the confidence that the local jurisdiction cannot pull the rug out
from under him by changing the approval criteria before he is ready to seek necessary
lhnd use approvals.
• A development agreement does not substitute for land use permit approval of a
particular project. At most — upon a showing that relevant ordinance standards can be
met -- it serves as an advance ruling that if certain assumptions that provide the basis
of the development agreement are adhered to, certain agreed -to infrastructure
improvements will be sufficient to warrant future approval of the proposed
development as to the particulars covered in the development agreement.
• The proposed development must still be shown through a subsequent land use
permitting process to meet the applicable land use standards. In order to reap the
benefits of the development agreement, the development must be shown in the
subsequent permitting process to fall within the assumptions that provided the basis
for the development agreement.
Development agreements are allowed under Oregon law by ORS 94.580 (see
attached). The applicant must show that the substance of the agreement complies
with the existing land use standards of the comprehensive plan and applicable zoning
and subdivision requirements. Development agreements are subject to a hearing, but
unlike ordinary land use decisions can be approved only through adoption of an
ordinance.
• A development agreement is a "land use decision" that can be appealed to the Land
Use Board of Appeals.
• If adopted without an emergency clause, an ordinance adopting a development
agreement is potentially subject to referral to the people in an election.
Cascade Highlands Limited Partnership Proposal
• Cascade Highlands is part of the westside consortium that seeks to make
improvements to westside intersections to allow westside development to proceed.
. . 1
• Cascade Highlands owns 1300 acres of land to the west of the Broken Top
development upon which they wish to develop a destination resort and a 52 -lot low-
density subdivision. To provide a basis for the development agreement, Cascade
Highlands has specified that its development plans will include no more than 367
single-family residences, 243 multi -family residences, 128 condominiums, 40,000
square feet of destination -resort related retail, an 18 -hole golf course, a 350 -room
resort hotel and a 250 -room conference hotel facility.
• Cascade Highlands' share of the westside consortium "fix" is to contribute $500,000
toward the southern bridge crossing over the Deschutes River at the Reed Market
Road. Before they commit to making that contribution, Cascade Highlands wishes to
receive assurance from the county that in light of that contribution: (1) the $500,000
contribution to the southern crossing will be sufficient to satisfy any and all off-site
traffic improvement requirements within the City offend; and (2) their future
destination resort proposal and their low-density subdivision will be evaluated under
current county standards in the urban reserve area, which they believe they will be
able to meet.
• To safeguard their $500,000 investment, Cascade Highlands proposes that the county
"vest" the existing approval destination resort and subdivision standards as the
standards under which the developments will be measured.
• The development agreement is supported by a Kittleson traffic study of the westside
traffic system that shows that if all the new consortium -backed developments are built
to their projected densities the traffic improvements proposed to be made by the
consortium will be sufficient to handle the increased traffic associated with those
developments. A copy of the study has been submitted to the County.
• The development agreement does not resolve any issues with regard to traffic
improvements that may be needed within the county — such as at the intersection of
roads leading from the development to Century Drive and to Skyliner Road.
Developer agrees that required improvements to those facilities and developer
responsibility, if any, will be left to the permitting process.

DESCHUTES COUNTY LEGAL COUNSEL
BRUCE W. WHITE ta w
Deputy Legal Counsel
REM. 6593
TO: Board of County Commissioners July 26, 2000
RE: Cascade Highlands Limited Partnership Development Agreement File No.
I have reviewed the revised (July 21, 2000) draft Cascade Highlands Limited Partnership
Development Agreement and my comments are as set forth below. Due to the shortness of the
review time we have had for the various drafts of this agreement, CHLP and the City will not
have received some of these comments by the time of the hearing.
1. The Development Agreement has been revised to address the concerns I had about the
effective date of the agreement being delayed until after approval of the Conceptual Master
Plan for the proposed destination resort has been secured. However, as to the term of the
agreement, it does not resolve all of my concerns (see point 4 below).
2. The City of Bend has been added as a party to this agreement, which will help assure as part
of the approval process for the proposed Agreement that coordination and liability issues
between City and County are adequately covered.
3. The July 21, 2000 revisions do not include a revision that staff and the developer's attorney
had agreed to that defines the off-site improvements "within the city" as being those within
the city boundaries as they are constituted as of the effective date of the Agreement. As we
discussed at our Monday work session in response to Commissioner DeWolf's concern, this
definition needs to be included as part of the development agreement so that it is clear that
any transportation facilities outside the current city boundaries may be required to be
addressed as part of the approval process for the proposed destination resort and the large -lot
subdivision. This can be done by perhaps adding a "Definition" subparagraph to
Article I, which would read as follows: "The phrases 'within the city' or City
transportation facilities' as they relate to the infrastructure improvements that are the
subject of this agreement refers to those traffic facilities that lie within the boundary of
the City of Bend as it exists on the effective date of this agreement."
4. Pursuant to ORS 94.504(2)(a), the County cannot be asked to vest the development standards
for a period of time longer than seven years. Article 1.3 would allow the time period during
which the standards would be vested to be seven years plus the time period during which the
approval of the destination resort is pending. Article 1.3 should be revised to state that the
term of the agreement shall be seven years following the effective date of the agreement.
There should be no difference between the Standards Vesting Date and the Effective Date.
To address concerns about this agreement being a part of an package of development
agreements dealing with all of the Westside traffic issues, I would suggest making the
effective date the date on which the last of the ordinances agreements concerning the
westside consortium development agreements becomes effective.
5. The last sentence of Article II, which defines the scope of the project, allows for a change in
the mix of the development to respond to change in market conditions, so long as the change
does not increase the number of estimated vehicle trips. As I have discussed with the
developer's attorneys previously, this needs to be amended to account not just for the
total number of vehicle trips but for possible changes in the distribution of those trips at
that might cause additional traffic at peak hours.
6. The first sentence of Article III "Uses" needs to be amended to say that it is subject to the
County's — not the City's -- land use ordinances under Title 19 of the County Code.
7. The agreement needs to specify more precisely what standards CHLP desires to vest so that
there is no uncertainty in the future about what standards have been vested by the agreement.
For example, Article IV leaves entirely open to future interpretation what standards are
required to vest in order to assure density and intensity of use. (This is exemplified by the
lack of any specific mention made of current open space limitations being frozen in place, yet
it is the open space limitations — in combination with property size and. topography
limitations -- that likely would drive any determination on whether density goals are able to
be met.) So that there is no disagreement in the future, this should be pinned down
specifically. This issue may be answered by the operation of Paragraph 13.5 that would
have all the applicable standards vest. If that is the case, this makes it all the more important
that the agreement be limited to a seven-year period.
8. A new sentence should be added to Article IV as follows: "Notwithstanding the maximum
densities expressed in the description of the Proposed Development in Article II, actual
densities and intensity of use cannot be guaranteed by this Agreement and can only be
determined and established during the approval process pursuant to the approval
standards vested herein." This simply recognizes that until CHLP comes in with an
application actual numbers cannot be determined. Staff has not and will not do any required
density and/or open space percentage calculations until the actual approval stage.
9. The language in Article V should be changed to read as follows: "The maximum height
and size of proposed structures of the Proposed Development shall be subject to any
applicable deed restrictions and the applicable standards contained in the DCC that
exist as of the effective date, notwithstanding the content of any subsequently adopted
zoning or development ordinance, whichever is the more restrictive."
CHLP has proposed revised language that arose out of a conversation with staff, but upon
further review, staff realizes that the proposed language goes beyond what is allowed by the
development agreement statute. Height of buildings in the proposed destination resort would
continue to be measured by the criteria set forth at 19.106.060(F)(1).
10. To clarify that the County is not locked in to the fee structure that exists as of the time "any"
application comes in, I would propose changing the word "any" to "each."
11. Consistent with my comments set forth in Paragraph 7 above, I am concerned about any
reference to vesting of maximum densities, such as in Line 1 of Paragraph 9. 1, or references
such as in Paragraph 9.2 to the "Ploposed bevelopment" as being vested. It is my
understanding that except for the approval of what will constitute off-site traffic
;'improvements inside the City of Bend, we are vesting the approval standards only -- and
that the specifics of what is able to be approved under those vested standards must await the
actual approval process.
12. Article 9.2 states that CHLP's contribution to the proposed transportation improvements are
deemed to satisfy CHLP's obligations toward contributing to off-site transportation facilities
within the City. We need to hear from the City, as the affected road authority, that they
are OK with this.
13. The letter of credit language in Article 9.3 needs additional specificity. At a minimum it
should state that it is an irrevocable standby letter of credit satisfactory in its terms to the City
and County. To satisfy matters relating to state budget law, the County would ask that the
following language be added in at the end of the paragraph: "County may assign its right
to payment hereunder to the City and in so doing discharge any obligation it may have
to the City hereunder." This will avoid the County having to do a supplemental budget for
an item that will be nothing but a pass-through to the City.
14. The language in Article 13.1 needs to be changed. As currently stated, that provision can be
read to indicate that we will give up our independent regulatory role and actively seek to gain
approval of the necessary permits. That is not an accurate characterization of our role.
Perhaps a statement such as the following would be more appropriate: "The parties agree
that future regulatory approvals identified herein sought within the term of this
agreement will be subject to the provisions of this agreement."
15. Paragraph 13.5 should be amended A sentence should be added to the end of Section 13.4 as
follows: "The current or any future applicable approval standard relating to off-site
transportation or pedestrian or bicycle paths, trails or routes shall be fully applicable to
the extent those facilities are located outside of the City of Bend."
16. Exhibit C needs to be open-ended and not limit what the County can legally require as off-
site improvements. This can be accomplished by making the following changes: in the
introductory paragraph by substituting the word "additional" for the words "the
following" and by adding the phrase "including but not limited to;" and by adding the
descriptions that the Road Department wants to include in the list of off-site
improvements.
17. The County needs an indemnity provision from the City to indemnify the County in the
event that events that occur within the City's control (such as things happening with the
remainder of the Westside projects that imperils this package deal) cause an action to be
brought for breach or for damages.

provided with the resort will constitute a
primary attraction to visitors, based on
the economic feasibility analysis.
D. The destination resort incorporates design
components, setbacks, and buffers to protect
designated wildlife areas.
E. Important natural features, including but not
limited to, significant wetlands, riparian
habitat and landscape management corridors
will be maintained. Riparian vegetation
within 100 feet 'of streams, rivers and
significant wetlands will be maintained.,
Alterations to important natural features,
including placement of structures, is
allowed so long as the overall values of the
feature are maintained.
F. The development will not force a significant
change in accepted farm or forest practices
or significantly increase the cost of accepted
farm or forest practices on surrounding H.
.lands devoted to farm or forest use.
G.. Destination,. resort..:., developments . that

This shall twaecoinplished by either.
1. Limiting the development to be
consistent with the planned function,
capacity and level of service of the
traaspottation facility;
2. Providing transportation facilities
adequate to support the proposed
development consistent with OAR
Chapter 660, Division 12; or
3. Altering land use densities, design
requirements or using other methods to
reduce demand for automobile travel
and to meet travel needs through other
modes.
A destination resort significantly affects a
transportation facility if it would result in
levels of travel or access that are
inconsistent with the functional
classification of a facility or would reduce
the level of service of the facility below the
minimum acceptable level identified in the
relevant transportation system plan.
a. Where the option_ .of __providing
transportation facilities is -chosen, the
applicant shall be required to improve
impacted roads to the full standards . of
the affected authority as a condition -of,
approval. Timing of such
improvements shall be based upon the
timing of the impacts created by the
development as determined by the
traffic study or the recommendations of
the affected road authority.
b. Access within the project shall be
adequate to serve the project in a safe
and efficient manner for each phase of
the project.
The development will not create the
potential for natural hazards identified in the
Bend Urban Area General Plan. No
structure will be located on slopes
exceeding 25 percent. A wildfire
management plan will be implemented to
ensure that wildfire hazards are minimized
to the greatest extent practical and allow for
safe evacuation.
I. Adequate public safety protection will be
available through existing fire districts or
wiH be provided on-site according to the
specification of the state fire marshal. If the
resort is located outside of an existing fire
district, the developer will provide for
staffed structural fire protection services or

Public Hearing:
File Number: IA -00-4
Applicant: Cascade Highlands
Honorable Chair Swearingen:
I am Howard Paine representing the Alliance For Responsible Land Use In
Deschutes County (ARLU DeCo).
We believe, it is not in the best interest of the citizens of Bend and Deschutes
County to approve this Development Agreement. A $500,000 contribution
toward the cost of the southern bridge falls way short of the traffic impact costs
generated by this proposed resort. The impact goes far beyond Bend's westside,
the 600 homes alone will generate 6,000 average daily trips (ADT) to the streets of
Bend.
It is unconscionable that Deschutes County would sign an agreement that says the
Ron Caramella developer would not be responsible for any additional city and county road
Redmond improvements. There should be na mitigation cap.
William Kuhn To allow development into the Urban Reserve area now is contrary to the Bend
Bend Area General Plan which says the Urban Reserve may be needed for "long term --
30-50 year --growth and expansion". The Plan was only adopted in 1998.
Howard Paine We recommend denial of this application. Thank you.

Respectfully submitted,

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing at 10:00 a.m. on
July 26, 2000 in the Commission hearing room in the County Administration Building at 1130
NW Harriman, Bend, to receive public testimony on a proposed development agreement with
Cascade Highlands Limited Partnership (CHLP).
CHLP is a member of the West Bend Traffic Consortium, a group of landowners who wish to
develop their individual lands on Bend's west side and who have submitted a proposal to the city
of Bend to make transportation facility improvements on the west side. CHLP's property is a
large property (Tax Lots 17-11-00-6203, 17-11-36-500, 18-11-00-100, 18-11-12-301, 18-11-1-
300) (hereinafter referred to as "the Property") located west of the Broken Top development and
between Century Dive and Skyliner Road. The Property is located outside the city limits of
Bend and is under the land use planning jurisdiction of Deschutes County.
The Consortium's proposal includes a local improvement district addressing certain street and
intersection improvements within the City of Bend, a local improvement district to finance the
construction for a southern bridge crossing across the Deschutes River within the City of Bend,
and development agreements to establish future development rights to the properties included in
the Consortium proposal and associated off-site transportation impacts.
At the hearing, Deschutes County will be considering a development agreement that specifies
the extent to which CHLP may develop the Property under existing zoning and subdivision
regulations (including such issues as establishment of permitted uses, density or intensity of uses,
maximum heights of structures, a schedule of compliance review, responsibility for providing
infrastructure and services) and which establishes the off-site transportation improvements that
will be required in connection with CHLP's development of the Property under the Consortium
proposal. The proposed uses on the CHLP property include residential uses and a destination
resort.
Development agreements are governed by the provisions of ORS 94.504 through 94.528, and the
development agreement will be reviewed against the criteria set forth in the statute.
Information including applications, documents and evidence that will be considered can be
examined at no charge at the Deschutes County Community Development Department, 117 NW
Lafayette, Bend, OR 97701. Contact Paul Blikstad, Associate Planner at (541) 388-6554.
Copies of such documentation will be provided at reasonable cost. Any staff report used at the
hearing will be available 7 days in advance of the hearing.
Oral testimony may be given at the hearing, or comments may be submitted in writing to the
Deschutes County Community Development Department, Attn: Paul Blikstad, Associate
Planner, in advance of the hearing. Participants may request an opportunity to leave the record
open for receipt of additional evidence. Issues not raised at the hearing or in writing before the
hearing with sufficient specificity to permit an opportunity to respond to the issue will preclude
awveal on that issue.
