ENGINEER'S REPORT
TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
FROM: GEORGE KOLB, COUNTY ENGINEER z+AAC
SUBJECT: LEGALIZATION OF A PORTION OF SISEMORE ROAD - ENGINEER'S REPORT
DATE: 9/16/2004
This report is made pursuant to ORS 368.206 and by order of the Board of County Commissioners, Order No. 2004-065,
concerning the investigation by the Road Department Engineer of the proposed legalization of a portion of Sisemore Road.
Background:
The Road Department was contacted by the owners of tax lot 171104A000500 concerning the status of Sisemore Road from its
intersection with Tumalo Reservoir Road south to the northern boundary of tax lot 1711000002200. They are in the process of
trying to partition their property and for that to happen; this portion of Sisemore Road has to be a dedicated public right-of-
way. Research completed by the Road Department shows this portion of Sisemore Road was established in 1892 per Crook
County Commissioners' Journal 2 Page 89 with a right-of-way width of 60 feet. It originated at John Sisemore's Farewell Bend
Ranch (which latter became the Brooks Scanlon mill and is now a portion of the Old Mill District) and went northwesterly 21
miles to its terminus just a few miles east of the town of Sisters. Although the Road Department has not searched for physical
monumentation of the 1892 survey, a rough retracement of the survey indicates that in the area of Tumalo Reservoir the
original alignment was approximately 4000 feet westerly of present day Sisemore Road. The 1892 alignment would have
placed the road in the middle of the large, failed reservoir that was planned in the early 1900s. Additional research of Sisemore
has revealed that Sisemore was also referred to as the "Bend - Sisters Road".
Apparently Sisemore was relocated in conjunction with the 1913 Tumalo Irrigation Project which created Tumalo Reservoir.
Evidently this road was not legally established and in 1914 Crook County began the proceedings for the establishment of this
realignment under the name of the "Tumalo Project No. 1 Road". The Crook County Road Jacket for "The Tumalo Project
Road No. 1 contains the following documents:
• Resolution to Establish the road dated 12/4/1914. This contains a general description of the road
• Surveyor's Preliminary Report filed 1/7/1915. In this report Fred Rice, the Crook County Surveyor states he has
examined the proposed road and advises that it is a public necessity and should become a public road.
• Notice of Hearing filed 8/10/1915. The hearing is to be held 9/1/1915 at the Crook County Court House.
• Claim for Damages. 8/28/1915. A letter from former Commissioner R. H. Bayley (he was one of the Commissioners
who signed the 12/4/1914 resolution). He states that during his term the road was not legalized although it was opened
across a Mr. Hudson's property in the SW '/4 of Section 20, T16S, R11E and that Mr. Hudson should be paid the
amount of $200 per the agreement between Hudson, Bayley and Laurgaard (the enginer for the Tumalo Irrigation
Project)
The only other entry in the Crook County Commissioners' Journals is a 9/6/1916 action which states the proceedings are to be
continued. There are no other entries for the road in the Crook journals (Deschutes County was carved out of Crook 3 months
Quality Services Performed with Pride
EXHIBIT "A"
PAGE 2OF3
after this entry) or in the Deschutes County Commissioners' Journals. This road is also listed on the County Road Department
records as being maintained by the County. This situation would fall under ORS 368.201 (1) which states:
A county governing body may initiate proceedings to legalize a county road under ORS 368.201 to 368.221 if any of the
following conditions exist:
(3) If the road as traveled and used for 10 years or more does not conform to the location of a road described in the
county records.
Road Location Survey:
Order No. 2004-065, Section 1, directed that the portion of Sisemore Road from the intersection with Tumalo Reservoir Road
to its terminus at the north boundary of Tax Lot 1711000002201 be surveyed to determine the location and width of the road.
The survey and legal description for this legalization is attached to Order 2004-066 as Exhibit "B".
Notification and Compensation for Property Affected by Road Legalization:
The Road Department provided notice of the proceedings for legalization of Sisemore Road, including the September 22, 2004
hearing, by posting and by service to owners of abutting land pursuant to Order No. 2004-065. The Road Department had
comments from the following people:
9/1/04 - Bill Kuhn, 65575 Sisemore Road: His question concerned notification of property owners. He specifically asked if
we had contacted the State concerning the State owned parcel. I printed out a copy of the property notification list for him. He
had no other questions.
9/3/04 - Bill Kuhn contacted our office via e-mail with the following question, "Was ODFW notified of the hearing to legalize
Sisemore Road? Is it possible that State of Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife owns parcel 171104A000600 and not the
State of Oregon Lands Division?" Notice of the legalization was done according to the rules outlined in ORS 368.401 to
368.426. Notice was provided by certified mail to the Department of State Lands office here in Bend, Oregon. Our records
indicate that the return receipt for the certified mail was signed by a person at the Department of State Lands on 8/18/04. We
did not receive any comments from them indicating they were the wrong department for notification. As far as the possibility
of the State of Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife owning the property, the Road Department first contacted the Oregon
Department of Transportation right-of-way division and discussed the property with them. They did not have any interest in
the property but suggested we do a title search and also contact the Department of Administrative Services to get their opinion.
The title search found information showing the property being sold to the Desert Land Board of the State of Oregon by William
H. Roach in 1913. No subsequent property transfers showed up in our research. On 9/14/04, I received a call from Fred Lord,
Department of Administrative Services. He stated that under the circumstances, notification to the Department of State Lands
should be sufficient for the legalization process.
9/9/04 - Jan Fuller contacted our office by phone and was curious as to what the legalization process was all about and also to
make sure she understood what portion of the road was involved. I explained the process to her and during this conversation
found out her main concern was that access was still maintained to the forest service property at the end of the legalization. I
told her the legalization clears up the status of the road and ensures that it is a public right-of-way. She felt comfortable with
this explanation but may stop in the office to look at the maps
9/14/04 - Ann Cobb called to inquire about the legalization. She stated she is in favor of the legalization but wanted to come
into the office to look at the maps.
ORS 368.211 provides for compensation for property affected by road legalization. This statute states: "A county governing
body shall provide for compensation under this section to any person who has established a structure on real property if the
structure encroaches on a road that is the subject of legalization proceedings." The statute further states: "To qualify for
compensation under this section, a person must file a claim for damages with the county governing body before the close of the
hearing to legalize the road."
From the survey, it appears that there are no structures within the proposed road legalization. To date there have been no
claims filed for compensation as a result of this legalization.
EXHIBIT "A"
PAGE 3OF3
Recommendation:
Contingent upon testimony and findings presented at the public hearing, the Engineer recommends Board approval and
signature of Order 2004-066 legalizing Sisemore Road as presented in this report.
Under ORS 368.216, when a county governing body legalizes a road, the county governing body shall comply with ORS
368.106. which requires that the county governing body comply with the following:.
1. Any order or resolution enacted and deed or other document establishing an interest in the property for public road
purposes to be recorded
2. The road right-of-way to be surveyed and monumented. This will be completed by the owners of tax lot 171104A000500.
3. The survey to be prepared in compliance with ORS 209.250
4. The survey to be recorded with the County Surveyor
Upon completion of the legalization procedures, any records showing the location of the road that conflict with the location of
the road as described in the order are void. The road exists as shown on the order legalizing the road.
