Chairman Young opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. First item on the agenda was the
discussion of Road Department or General Fund Bills. There was no discussion.
Next item on the agenda was the zone change request by Ralph DeMarco & Frank Gilchrist
from M-1, light industrial to C-2, General Commercial. This zone change would rezone
property on Hwy 97, tax lot 400, T. 17 S., R. 11 E., Section, Tax lot 1700, T. 17 S.,
R. 12 E., Section 21, for the upcoming Boyd Acres Shopping Center. Brad Fancher,
attorney, explained that this zone change covers the entire piece between the existing
canal and over to the railroad tract. It takes in Boyd Acres Shopping Center also.
Chairman Young then read the order for the zone change. Commissioner Montgomery moved
for adoption of this order; Commissioner Grubb seconded it. Vote was unanimous.
Next zone change request was by Don Yeager from A-1, exclusive agriculture to R-1,
single family residential. Chairman Young read the order for the zone change; Commissioner
Grubb made a motion for adoption of this order, and Commissioner Montgomery seconded it.
Vote was unanimous.
Next on the agenda was the Boyd Acres Shopping Center Site Plan Review. Brad Fancher
spoke on this matter saying that he thought the Commissioners were interested in
the points that are left to be determined. First was what we call the South access or
entry onto the highway has been presenting some problems to the Board of Commissioners.
Sears has agreed to continue their participation in the project with the South access
eliminated. We do not need it now. We do, of course, want to continue the access that
comes in South on 0. B. Riley Road which the developer has agreed to improve. He has
also agreed to improve the bridge. We must redraft some of the parking spaces in that
area and I am not sure how that will be worked out yet. Basically, the only other
problem concerns the vacation of the portion of 0. B. Riley Road that lies within the
project itself. The hearing for that is set for December 6 and we would like to accelerate
that date if possible. As far as the letter the Commissioners received in the mail, I
do not agree with some of the principles set forth in this letter and do apologize for
it; however, we do not agree with the suggestion that in exchange for the vacation of
the portion of 0. B. Riley Road that lies within this project that the developer pay
some fee on this to be determined in some manner. We feel that the County should not
have a fee in this case and have sent a memo to you saying this. Chairman Young said
that with regard to the vacation of the road, this discussion can all take place at the
hearing. The December 6th hearing date cannot be accelerated, and since Mr. Fancher had
asked for December 6 in the first place, the hearing will take place then. Commissioner
Montgomery then made a motion to approve the site plan based on the removal of one
entrance into Sears and the redesigning of the parking lot. Commissioner Grubb seconded
it. Vote was unanimous.

Next on the agenda was discussion from those present. Chairman Young brought up the
fact that there have been several resignations from the Board of Equalization and
Budget Advisory Board. Since there has to be a Board of Equalization meeting this
coming Monday, we need to appoint these members to the boards. John E. Long of
Redmond will take Robert Herwick's place, and Jack Oliver of Bend will serve out Virgil
Henkle's position on the Budget Advisory Board. Howard Balderstone served on the Board
of Equalization this past year and has agreed to serve another 1 year term. Commissioner
Grubb made a motion to accept these appointments to the Budget Board and Board of
Equalization. Commissioner Montgomery seconded the motion, and the vote was unanimous.
There being no further business this Courtday, meeting was recessed at 10:40 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
