The first request was by Daniel Wilkerson from R-1, Urban Residential, single family to C-2 General Commercial for tax lot 1000 near the intersection of Third Street and Arthur Avenue. This request is consistent with the Bend Area Comprehensive Plan. Commissioner Grubb moved this zone change be granted. Commissioner Young seconded the motion. Vote was unanimous. Second zone change request was by Audrey M. Moore, from A-1, Exclusive Agricultural to R-1, Urban Residential, single family for tax lot 900 off of Butler Market Road. This request is consistent with the Bend Area Comprehensive Plan and city water and sewer are available. Commissioner Young moved and Commissioner Grubb seconded that this zone change be granted. Vote was unanimous. Don Grubb mentioned that if the Deschutes County Zoning Ordinance were updated these various zone change requests would not be necessary. Dave Hoerning announced that William G. Monroe from Great Falls, Montana, has been chosen as new Planning Director for Deschutes County. He was one of 63 persons who applied for the job. Dave and Lorin Morgan narrowed the field to 10 applicants who were interviewed. Commissioner Young moved that Mr. Monroe be approved as Deschutes County's new Planning Director to start that position as soon as possible. Commissioner Grubb seconded the motion. Vote was unanimous. Mr. Monroe was the first choice of all three Commissioners. The name of Dorothy Saxton was submitted to the Commission for reappoinment to Lazy River Special Road District Board. Commissioner Grubb moved they reappoint Dorothy Saxton to a three year term on Lazy River Special Road District Board. Commissioner Young seconded the motion. Vote was unanimous. At this time the Commission approved the renaming of Boulder Place in the Plat of East Villa, First Addition to Stub Place. Commissioner Grubb moved they approve the road name change. Commissioner Young seconded the motion. Vote was unanimous. Stub Place will now be the official street name. Under open discussion, Pat Finney and Jerry Allen from the Forest Service presented their new Sunriver Land Sale proposal to the Commission. Mr. Finney outlined the new proposal on a map of Sunriver which included 2000 plus acres instead of the original 3000 plus. Mr. Allen explained that Sunriver would be allowed to take cinders from the cinder pit. Ron Anderson, President of Sunriver said they now have a 12 yr. permit for 100,000 cu. yds. cinder per year. They will make a new request for 400,000 cu. yds. for the maintenance of Sunriver roads. Commissioner Grubb asked about the boat lodge area if this sale is consumated. Mr. Allen replyed they had no proposal for this area at this time. Commissioner Grubb asked if roads will be closed. Again Mr. Allen said they do not know at this time. He said they were leaning in the direction of dispersed recreation rather than campgrounds. Chairman Montgomery asked about road access to the Forest Service land in the extreme north. Mr. Anderson said that several accesses were being considered at this time. Mr. Allen said a separate environmental impact report will be prepared for this proposed land sale. Commissioner Grubb asked if a golf course would be built in phase two. He was told yes. Mr. O'Connor and Mr. Rucker residents of Sunriver questioned access to Sunriver if this land sale is approved and the second phase is built. Mr. Anderson said they had several proposals but nothing firm at this time. Whatever access is decided upon would be two or three years from completion. The Commission asked the Forest Service if they had any plans for the west side of the river. Mr. Allen said - ' VOL 25MMU3 November 15, 1977 Courtday Minutes Page 3 no, they were working on a master plan at this time but it is not complete., Mr. Finney said the plan now was for dispersed recreation rather than developed rec- reation. Commissioner Grubb said the Forest Service already has 200 miles of river frontage with no access for the public. Commissioner Young said the thrust of this sale was to save the river frontage for the public and the Forest Service has no concrete plans as yet. They told the Commission the public would have access to the river for recreational uses. Mr. O'Connor said residents of Sunriver were concerned with the care of the property if the Forest Service does buy the land because the Forest Service does not take care of its property. Mr. Anderson said the aesthic use will remain. The Commission asked Mr. Ray Bennett, County Assessor how soon he could have a report ready on the new proposal. He told them a week. Gary DeBernardi asked the Forest Service what sale price were they offering for the land? Mr. Allen said they would need a reappraisal before they could make an offer. Bob Smith from Fall River and a member of the Deer Range Study Group said this land sale proposal would solve problems for the deer range study plans. The Commission went on record favoring another public hearing before a decision could be made on this sale. They also have to know a sale price before they will consider this matter again. Mr. Anderson said a lot of time and money had been expended so far on this project and he feels the Commission could let the Forest Service know if this second proposal appeals to them so the Forest Service could go forward with their proposal. He feels this second proposal meets with the general public appeal because it covers the areas that were questionalbe with the first proposal. Chairman Montgomery said the county appreciates what Sunriver is doing but they will make a profit from this sale. Commissioner Young said Deschutes County did not ask the Forest Service to spend 75 thousand dollars on an appraisal. Chairman Montgomery personally feels this is a good alternative to the first proposal. There being no further coments, the Commission closed discussion on this matter. Commissioner Grubb told the audience that Portland State Census Bureau had estimated the new population of Deschutes County as 46,800 as of July 1, 1977. The Commission is going to send them all the population information they have and a letter protesting the latest figures. Jerry Allen from the Forest Service told the Commission that the Forest Service will receive $12,000 for the county to cover expenses in Search and Rescue operations. This money is a new grant to Deschutes County because the county has been chosen as a study area. There being no further business or discussion, meeting was recessed at 11:15 a.m. Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
