Before the Board was a Discussion and Consideration of Signature of a Grant Agreement between Deschutes County and Northwest Health Foundation regarding a Community Care Clinic Bridge Fund. Dan Peddycord said this is a continuation of a grant received last year. When Pacific Care Foundation dissolved, all of their funds went into a grant program. This program is for adults who don't have any other form of health insurance. There may be six to twelve months until the voluntary program is in place, and this will cover that program in the interim. Any assets remaining will be transferred over.

Before the Board was a Discussion and Consideration of a Decision Whether to Hear an Appeal of the Hearings Officer's Decision Denying a Conditional use Permit and Tentative Plat for a Cluster Development in a Rural Residential Zone (near Deschutes River Woods - Applicant: Hardy). Commissioner Luke indicated he is not interested in hearing this appeal, and thinks it should be reapplied back through the process. He said this is really too complicated, and may have to involve major changes to the Code regarding rounding off the numbers. If they are changing their application anyway, they can go through the process. Damian Syrnyk stated that is appropriate for this kind of application; and that before the applicants had filed their appeal, they were told there were some options. Nothing new has been received from the applicant. Chair DeWolf stated that if they want to change the rules, this should not come to the Board on appeal. Commissioner Daly said that they claim they shaped their application based on the recommendations of staff. Mr. Symyk replied that they allege this from a meeting in September. Chair DeWolf added that they might have heard what they wanted to hear. Commissioner Daly said that since there was some confusion, perhaps they could be given a break on the new application fees. They allege they got bad information from staff. Commissioner Luke explained that based on the record and an e-mail received from Laurie Craghead of Legal Counsel, it sounds like this is something that should go before the Planning Commission. The County should look at what its rules are regarding land around the urban growth boundaries of Bend and Redmond. When these rules were written, the legislature didn't think that cities would actually annex entire urban growth boundaries. The Planning Commission should look at this situation. Cluster developments are a good idea, but can't be decided on a case-by-case basis.

LUKE: I move we do not hear this appeal. DEWOLF: Second. VOTE: LUKE: Yes. DALY: Yes. DEWOLF: Chair votes yes. 4. Before the Board was a Discussion of a Public Hearing (Scheduled for Wednesday, July 3) and Consideration of Approval of Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Regulations for "Whistlestop" and "Wildhunt" to Comply with State Rules regarding Unincorporated Communities. Christy Morgan explained that Wildhunt is located at the intersection of Highway 97 and Highway 3, on the way to Christmas Valley. The other is on Burgess Road on the way to Wickiup Reservoir. The change makes Wildhunt smaller, since the zoning maps don't match. The land that is being reduced is actually Bureau of Land Management property. This makes the maps consistent. Regarding Whistlestop, this makes the comprehensive plan match the zoning map, and it will be a little bigger. The reason these were not included was because it was believed none of these areas had two or more residential dwellings on them. A phone call was received that clarified this misunderstanding. Both business owners were contacted and indicated they didn't care, and weren't concerned either way. 5. Before the Board was a Discussion of a Public Hearing (Scheduled for Wednesday, July 3 - Continued from June S, 2002) and Consideration of the Adoption of Ordinance No. 2002-017, Regarding Private Property Compensation Procedures (Measure 7). On Wednesday, July 3, this will be postponed to a date certain. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, July 1, 2002 Page 3 of 5 Pages 6. Before the Board were Additions to the Agenda. George Read explained that Community Development has been very busy during May and June. He then explained that a decision has been reached regarding Oregon Water Wonderland's sewer situation. There are 190 dwelling units, with plans to serve 1,000 units eventually. It originally was thought that the plant could go within the subdivision, but due to the high water table, U.S. Forest Service land will be used. Sunriver wanted them to hook into their system, but the cost was considerably more at the $800,000 range. Apparently some other costs were not included, such as the cost of land and long-term maintenance. The State had questions, but the Federal Rural Development people funded $4 million for this plan. The Forest Service has not yet granted an environmental assessment for this land, and the sewer district has to file a plan for a goal exception. Mr. Read further said he had met with the sewer district board, and they indicate they will apply for both simultaneously, with Sunriver and the Forest Service. Both may ultimately end up before the Commissioners, depending upon cost. They are supposed to use Forest Service land last. The issue will come down to how much it really costs and what the unseen costs are. There is some mistrust between the various parties, so David Givans has agreed to help out. Oregon Water Wonderland wants to build on the Forest Service land, with a permit to avoid the land use process. The problem is this doesn't give them a permit from the Department of Environmental Quality. The Forest Service said the County supported this solution and ignored the complications made by this decision. While they now have the land to build it, they can't get the permits to do so, so it is a big complicated. Being no further items brought before the Board, Chair Tom DeWolf adjourned the meeting at 10:50 a.m. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, July 1, 2002 Page 4 of 5 Pages DATED this 1St Day of July 2002 for the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners.
