2. A CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING on the Review of the Hearings
Officer's Denial of a Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan to Relocate Landfill -
related Facilities to the North Development Area at the Knott Landfill, Limited
to a Review of the Permits Issued by DEQ for the Proposed Transfer Station
and Recovery Facility at Knott Landfill. (File #'s A-04-8 (CU -02-102 and SP -
02 -51.) — Timm Schimke, Solid Waste Department; Catharine White,
Community Development Department
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, August 22, 2005
Page 1 of 19 Pages
Catharine White presented a brief history. In December of 2004 the Board held
a public hearing to deliberate on the hearings officers' denial of a conditional
use and site plan for relocation of Knott Landfill facilities to the north
development area. The Board continued the hearing to an uncertain date that
would be noticed. It has been noticed to today, August 22nd. So, today is a
continuation of the hearing.
The Board continued the hearing to allow the applicant to obtain Department of
Environmental Quality (DEQ) permits that are required for the facilities that are
going to be relocated to the north development area. The Board desired to limit
the testimony today to whether or not the appropriate DEQ permits have been
obtained for the new facilities. We did publish notice in the Bend Bulletin and
also notified all the parties that were on the mailing list. We have not received
any written comments.
Commissioner Luke asked Ms. White if they mailed to all the people that were
10 miles away like last time. Ms. White said the mailing list is to over 100
people. It is everyone who testified, submitted comments and included
petitioners. Commissioner Luke asked if there were no responses. Ms. White
said "none."
Commissioner DeWolf asked if there was anything the Board needed to know
before he opened the public hearing. Laurie Craghead said "no", other than the
fact that it is a limited de novo hearing on the one issue only.
Commissioner DeWolf reopened the public hearing which will allow the Board
to enter DEQ permits into the record and allow testimony limited to the issue of
whether the appropriate DEQ permits have been obtained for the subject
property.
Commissioner DeWolf said that public hearing is not open and asked if there
was anyone who wanted to testify in the matter. Ms. Craghead said at least the
applicant. Commissioner DeWolf said he will ask Timm Schimke to come up
to a microphone any time soon.
Commissioner DeWolf asked Mr. Schimke, for the record, has his Department
obtained the necessary permits from DEQ. Mr. Schimke said "yes." He said
they applied for the DEQ permits and DEQ chose to approach the permitting
with two separate permit applications.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, August 22, 2005
Page 2 of 19 Pages
The two binders that you see there represent our applications as well as the
DEQ permit. The majority of the binder is the application and includes
operations plans as well as the design engineering that we have done to date.
Both of those documents are referenced in the property permit. So, they are
incorporated by reference. That represents everything.
Mr. Schimke said that DEQ went through a public process, they notified, and
they had a public hearing. They received about twelve (12) written comments
both in favor and against and at the public hearing only one (1) person testified
in favor. DEQ issued the permits. There were no unanticipated restrictions or
requirements.
Mr. Schimke said they would have to submit an updated land use compatibility
statement if and when they receive a conditional use permit as well as update
engineering and operations plans as they go through the process of construction.
Commissioner DeWolf said "ok."
Commissioner Luke asked if the appeal period for the DEQ permit is past.
Mr. Schimke said he did not believe that there is actually a formal appeal period
for that. Commissioner DeWolf asked Laurie Craghead if there was an appeal
period for a DEQ permit. Ms. Craghead said she was not sure what the period
is but thought there was one of some sort.
Commissioner Luke asked when the permits were issued. Mr. Schimke said
that the permits were issued 2 or 3 weeks ago. Commissioner Luke said that
people were notified and there has been plenty of time for people to comment if
they wanted to. Mr. Schimke said the comment period closed on July 27th and
they received a permit one month later. Commissioner Luke commented on the
date. Mr. Schimke corrected the July 27th date to July 11 th.
Commissioner DeWolf said that this is August 22nd and he could not imagine
an appeal period longer than 30 days.
Commissioner DeWolf asked if there was anyone else who would like to testify
in this matter. Not hearing any he closed the public hearing.
Commissioner Luke asked Ms. Craghead what kind of motion Legal Counsel
would like to see if this was approved. Ms. Craghead said she would like to
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, August 22, 2005
Page 3 of 19 Pages
have the Board delay their decision until Wednesday so that she has a chance to
review the draft decision and make any changes to it. The Board would have a
date certain of Wednesday that they would actually make their decision.
Commissioner DeWolf asked "rather than making a decision subject to legal
review." Ms. Craghead answered "yes." Commissioner DeWolf said the Board
will make a decision on this Wednesday at the Board's 10 a.m. meeting.
3. CONSIDERATION of Signature of Document No. 2005-322, an Indemnity
Agreement regarding the Tumalo Block Party, August 27 — Judy Sumners, Risk
Management
Commissioner DeWolf asked if all three of the Indemnity Agreements
presented today are all in order including the insurance, legal approval, and
everything is done. Judy Sumners responded by saying "correct."
LUKE: Move approval.
DALY: Second.

6. DISCUSSION of Hearings on Measure 37 Claims for Compensation
(scheduled for Wednesday, August 24):
Order No. 2005-061 — Claim #M37-05-9 - Reconsideration
Order No. 2005-066 — Claim #M37-05-32
Order No. 2005-069 — Claim #M37-05-31
Order No. 2005-072 — Claim #M37-05-28
Order No. 2005-073 — Claim #M37-05-27
Order No. 2005-075 — Claim #M37-05-29
Commissioner DeWolf stated that to his knowledge, the Board has only
received packets of information on Brown/Perry, Central Electric, and the
Cyrus Loving Trust cases. On the other three claims the Board is still waiting
for information. He asked if that was accurate. Tom Anderson stated that
actually two of the six that are on the agenda will not occur on Wednesday.
Commissioners asked for the numbers. Mr. Anderson said M37-05-32 which is
the Olsen claim has been continued. Number M37-05-27 which is Matt Cyrus
claim has been withdrawn.
Commissioner DeWolf said that he does not have M37-05-29. Mr. Anderson
said they have a draft of that one; he will need to do some cleanup on it and
should have it to the Board today. Commissioner DeWolf said that on
Wednesday, the Board would then be hearing four of these. Mr. Anderson said
"that is correct."
ivliiiULCh ui noara or Lommissioners' Work Session Monday, August 22, 2005
Page 5 of 19 Pages
Commissioner DeWolf asked if they should just go through them one by one.
Mr. Anderson said typically we wait until Wednesday to go through the details
of these.
Commissioner DeWolf said it is a discussion of hearings so he thought that
meant they would have a discussion.
Commissioner Luke asked Mr. Pilliod if he saw anything coming forward on
the Perry claim and did he see any objection to what he was going to
recommend. Mr. Pilliod said that they might. The problem is that they have
not had a lot of discussion with the lawyer representing the claimant. He
received an email either late Friday or early this morning in which the attorney
expressed the idea that he would further consult with his client about the
position the County is taking, which is to reconsider the previously approved
waiver with the recommendation that a portion of it be denied and citing legal
justification for that. Mr. Pilliod's response to him was, "well the matter is now
scheduled for Wednesday, the Board will take it up then."
The attorney for the claimant has shared his views with Laurie Craghead on my
staff and we believe that the Board did make a mistake based upon mistaken
recommendation by staff to allow the claim. It should have been denied in part.
Commissioner Daly said you mean our County Administrator led us astray, that
is what you are saying. Mr. Pilliod said "no", it was my office that made the
mistake. Commissioner Luke asked what they do in Klamath County where
they don't have an Administrator. Is the County Administrator called out in the
(unintelligible word possibly law?) Mr. Pilliod said "no." That is just the local
approach that we decided upon.
Commissioner DeWolf asked if they would get the M37-05-29 information.
Mr. Pilliod said it should be later on this morning or early this afternoon. He
just received some sort of a revised version for his staff and he has some
questions about it. The problem is that there are ten (10) discreet parcels and
they were obtained at different times. The State has come down with its
recommended decision as to those corresponding State claims and it is
confusing. There is probably on the order of 300 to 400 acres of property and it
is a tough one.

7. DISCUSSION of a Public Hearing (scheduled for Wednesday, August 24),
and Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2005-071, Approving a Petition
for Designation of Territory as "Second Addition to Whispering Pines No
Shooting District" — Doreen Blome', Community Development Department
Doreen Blome' said that the public hearing is noticed for Wednesday. She said
Commissioner DeWolf may have been absent from the August 3rd session
when the Board accepted the petition. Commissioner Luke and Commissioner
Daly asked her to include the two (2) properties in the center of the map.
Commissioner DeWolf said he was absent but he has read all the material. Ms.
Blome' said that there is no opposition reported as of yet.
Commissioner DeWolf said the public hearing is scheduled for Wednesday
morning at our 10 a.m. meeting.
Commissioner Daly asked how you get 101 % of a 60% requirement. Ms.
Blome' said she had the same question for the clerk's office. They had one (1)
or two (2) signatures over the required allotment. Commissioner Daly said ok,
101% of the 60%.
8. DISCUSSION of the Continuation of a Public Hearing (scheduled for
Wednesday, August 24; continued from August 10) and Consideration of First
and Second Readings and Adoption, by Emergency, of Ordinance No. 2005-
041, Amending the Resort Community Zone and Amending the Definition of a
"Resort Facility" — Catherine Morrow, Community Development Department
Commissioner DeWolf said the Board has a continued Public Hearing on a
Resort Facility for Wednesday. He asked Catherine Morrow if there was
anything new that the Board needs to be aware of. Ms. Morrow said she was
unclear from the agenda request whether the hearing was today or Wednesday.
Commissioner Luke stated that it is Wednesday. Commissioner DeWolf said
he was unclear on that as well. The date for the meeting is scheduled for
August 24th. Ms. Morrow said that would be Wednesday then.
Ms. Morrow said this is a hearing and she is not sure why the hearing was held
open. She thought maybe the Board requested the applicant, Arrowood
Development to provide more information. She was not entirely sure, but as far
as she knows the ordinances are ready to go.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, August 22, 2005
Page 7 of 19 Pages
Commissioner Luke asked if it was a second reading. Commissioner DeWolf
stated not for an ordinance.
Laurie Craghead said she does not have anything on her agenda, so she does not
know what matter they are talking about. Commissioner Luke said item
number eight (8). Commissioner DeWolf said this is the text amendment that
allows mixed use ownership and (unintelligible word) lot lines in Resort
Community zones.
Commissioner Luke said this is the one between Inn of the Seventh Mountain
and Wiggi Creek. Ms. Morrow said you have already conducted the hearing.
Commissioner Luke said they already did that and he thought they already
approved it.
Ms. Craghead said that she thought it was a matter of approving the actual
language of the ordinance. Commissioner DeWolf said we had their ordinance
add an emergency clause so that we could pass it in the form that they wanted
and we agreed to. Ms. Morrow said she would go and check the minutes and
confirm that. Commissioner DeWolf asked, "that is all that we are doing
Wednesday." Ms. Morrow said "yes.' Commissioner DeWolf said it is
scheduled for Wednesday.
Ms. Craghead said that it is because of recent case law that has come down that
says that there actually has to be a public hearing on the actual language of the
ordinances now. So even though you approved the decision for a plan
amendment or zone change, you still actually have to have a hearing on the
actual wording of the ordinance in case someone has some disagreement with
that. That is why we are doing this process. Ms. Morrow said that it is a text
amendment to title 18.
9. DISCUSSION of a Public Hearing (scheduled for Tuesday, August 23) on
Redmond Urban Reserve Area (File # PA -05-06) —Catherine Morrow,
Community Development Department
Catherine Morrow introduced herself and Chuck McGraw, the long range
planner for City of Redmond. Ms. Morrow did not feel that they needed to
have a lot of discussion today. They are planning to do a PowerPoint
presentation at the beginning of the hearing tomorrow night to set the stage on
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, August 22, 2005
Page 8 of 19 Pages
where we are today and where we have been. We will then conduct the Public
Hearing on Tuesday, at 5:30 p.m., at the Redmond Fire Hall.
Commissioner Luke asked if they had gotten much comment since the City
Council did their final approval. Mr. McGraw said that they have only one (1)
letter from the Halls. Commissioner DeWolf said the Board has two (2) letters.
Mr. McGraw said they might have received one from Missing Links Golf
Course. Commissioner DeWolf said the Board has a letter from the Halls and a
letter from Allen 011ey who submitted a request for inclusion. Mr. McGraw
said that Mr. 011ey is currently split zoned. Part of the urban area goes through
his property. We tried for the most part to follow property lines. He and his
son own contiguous parcels and one got in and one is out. He is asking for both
parcels to be included. Commissioner DeWolf said they are separate parcels
then, not splitting one parcel. Mr. McGraw said that is correct but it is like
splitting a unit of ownership.
Commissioner Luke asked what the recommendation of City staff is on that.
Mr. McGraw said City Council listened to the testimony and drew their line
where they put it, which leaves it split. Commissioner Luke said again, it is not
through a piece of property it is down a property line. Mr. McGraw said "that
is correct." Commissioner Luke asked if there was a fence or anything there.
Mr. McGraw said he did not know. Commissioner Luke said the Board would
like to have that information.
Commissioner Daly said he drove by there every day. Commissioner DeWolf
asked if Commissioner Daly would check and let them know. Commissioner
Daly will check when he goes by there tonight.
Commissioner DeWolf asked if those that did not want any property included,
are they still included. Mr. McGraw said that they are in the City Councils
recommendation. Ms. Morrow said they are not in the Planning Commission's
recommendation.
Commissioner Luke asked where the discussions are going that Commissioner
Daly had with the Mayor about the property south of the Fairgrounds.
Mr. McGraw said currently the mayor has proposed a policy that he will
introduce in his testimony tomorrow. The policy basically says the County and
City agree to adjust the boundary of the Urban Reserve Area within public
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, August 22, 2005
Page 9 of 19 Pages
lands to address the needs of the City, County, and State. After we have
developed a memorandum of understanding for the development needs of all
parties. It is back to the issue between BLM (Bureau of Land Management)
and DSL (Department of State Lands) and a proposed user that does not want to
wait the full BLM/DSL process. He is looking for some assurance that this land
can be exchanged.
Commissioner Luke said that has really nothing to do with our
approval/proposal. It will not adjust the proposal that's come before us, is that
correct? Ms. Morrow said that is where the Mayor is suggesting that we go; it
is not actually adjusting the proposal. However, she thinks if there is a
possibility to figure out how to adjust the proposal now rather than waiting, we
should do that. It will require additional public process, public hearings in front
of both jurisdictions, the Planning Commission and an amendment with
additional findings.
It is kind of unfortunate to have to do after you have just adopted a boundary
saying this is what you need for 50 years to come back shortly after saying
whoops, we want to rearrange it. Ultimately, it is up to the Board and City
Council about whether it is even possible at this time to identify some of that
DSL land to bring in. The issue would be if you are going to adjust the
boundary between public lands, say County land, and this land that is currently
BLM but is proposed for selection by the Department of State Lands. You can
do that now or you can wait and it will be DSL's burden to come in and make
findings. They will have to make findings that will say they do not want to
increase the acres. They will want to slice some off the County land as they
need to stay within the acreage threshold to reduce vulnerability for a challenge.
Commissioner DeWolf asked what sort of assurance do we have on the lines
that they are using. Ms. Morrow said the thing she is not certain about is what
the DSL's time frame is. They only reason it came up at all is that Mayor
Unger had a discussion with a prospective user who wanted to cite some sort of
industrial use on that land. Not all of it, just maybe 50 acres. So if there is any
way we could get that in now rather than later, I think that would be
advantageous in terms of process for all of us.
Commissioner DeWolf said that if in fact what we are creating with the Urban
Reserve Area is industrial, commercial, and residential lands for the next 50
years, and if the Planning Commission and City Council have concluded that
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, August 22, 2005
Page 10 of 19 Pages
what is before us achieves that goal, then are we being driven because one
industrial user wants to be in a particular spot that is not included. When in
fact, there is land that would be available for their use because we have created
our 50 year supply elsewhere. Ms. Morrow said that's good question.
Commissioner Daly said there is a couple of reasons that the extension of 19th
Street through that property to Deschutes Junction is a huge item that needs to
be addressed. I am looking more for funding partners to make that happen and
if we have people users that are willing to do something along the south
boundary of Redmond in that area, obviously their funding partners will help us
get the road built.
Commissioner Luke asked how many acres we are talking about there. Mr.
McGraw said we don't know. There is about 800 acres south of the County
Fairgrounds. This would be just a small portion. Commissioner DeWolf said
that it would not fit. Mr. McGraw said you would have to take it off of
someplace else.
Commissioner Luke said the City has not determined if that is where they want
to grow. Mr. McGraw said from a planning prospective it is kind of
presupposing the land uses before we have even brought it into the Urban
Growth Boundary. Commissioner DeWolf said this sounds like more than two
people coming together; this is the whole planning process all over.
Mr. McGraw said he believed that is why the Mayor would be satisfied with a
policy that says here is what is in the future once the DSL and BLM get their
process done. Then DSL can come back as the land owner and make the
legislative application to amend the Urban Reserve Area boundary. As
Catherine indicated, the burden of proof will be on them at that point in time to
make the adequate findings to support additional lands.
Commissioner DeWolf said they would have the incentive because it is going to
increase the value. Mr. McGraw said we may be back to where we are today is
taking some County public lands and amending it to the south of that. It would
give you a few more years to make a better decision.
Commissioner Daly said he had one more question. He said Catherine
mentioned that one way to get more land is for the folks that so adamantly want
to be included, take them out. He does not know how much land the Halls have
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, August 22, 2005
Page 11 of 19 Pages
but that is one way of doing it. Mr. McGraw said the Halls have 80 — 100 acres
in the unit. It is not all one parcel but is separated between family units.
Ms. Morrow said if you want to take 100 acres out because the Halls do not
want to be in, it would be easy to justify because it is irrigated EFU land and
bring in the equivalent amount of what is now the BLM land in this location.
Commissioner Luke said he would be hesitant to do that without a
recommendation from the City Council. This is a long term project, would not
mind doing it if City Council came forward.
Commissioner DeWolf asked when they are hoping for a decision by the
County. Mr. McGraw said his hope was that the ordinary process is that you
close the oral testimony and leave the written record open for seven (7) days
and set a specific date in September at one of your 1 st or 2nd meetings to make
your decision. That gives you some time.
Commissioner DeWolf said a couple of options. One would be that we can do
that or we could continue the hearing tomorrow night until City Council and the
Planning Commission in Redmond have a chance to meet and discuss this
particular issue, if they think it is something they would like to do. Then we
could look more toward the middle or end of September as us making the final
decision based on a continued public hearing and then close everything up. It
may add 3 or 4 weeks to it. It may resolve the issue without having to reopen
the whole thing. Does that seem like something to consider anyway?
Commissioner Luke said he had a question of Legal Counsel or maybe
Catherine. If the City Council reopens up the process of deciding on the Urban
Reserve, does that kick in the mailings and the notifications? Legal Counsel
says yes, and planner says no. Ms. Morrow's opinion is that you have a
recommendation from City Council. If the City Council in a public meeting
decides to provide testimony to you, then it is noticed. The decision is in front
of you right now. The joint management agreement that we have that's in place
now says that if there is any disagreement between the City Council and the
Board of County Commissioners, then the joint management agreement says
that you will work it out together.
Commissioner DeWolf said will we have City Council representatives at the
Public Hearing. Mr. McGraw said yes. He believes at least the Mayor and
Counselor Mansfield will testify. They will take 1 st opportunity as they have a
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, August 22, 2005
Page 12 of 19 Pages
Council meeting at 7:00 p.m. Commissioner DeWolf asked Mr. McGraw if he
would have the time between now and then to broach this subject with each of
the City Councilors? Mr. McGraw said he has a work session a 6:45 in the
morning to go over the Council agenda. Commissioner DeWolf said if they
want to make this their issue, so be it. Mr. McGraw said tomorrow morning he
could lay out the potential length of time for the delay if they want to propose
this change, their not going to get a decision in the 1 st part of September. It
will more than likely be a continued hearing toward the end of September.
Commissioner DeWolf said depending on their timing and Redmond Planning
Commission timing.
Commissioner Luke said you are running a parallel process about bringing
ground into the Urban Growth Boundary. Until the Urban Reserve is approved,
you can't bring the property in to the Urban Growth Boundary either. Mr.
McGraw said "that is true." He did not feel a couple of weeks would make or
break the Urban Growth Boundary.
Commissioner Luke asked Laurie Craghead if she had an opinion different from
Catherine's. Ms. Craghead said that it would be something she would have to
think about a little further but Redmond would have to get their own legal
counsel on whether or not they would open it up. It is a legislative matter but
also if they are going to change the recommendation they would have to re -
notice. Commissioner Luke said they could suggest that the Commissioners'
make a change. Ms. Craghead said the other thing is that they can change their
own order or recommendation probably without a hearing, but it is a legislative
matter.
Commissioner DeWolf said we will see you tomorrow night at the Redmond
Fire Hall at 5:30 p.m.
10. DISCUSSION and Consideration to Hear Appeals of the Hearings Officer's
Decision Denying a Proposal to Establish a 2,000 -seat Outdoor Amphitheater
on a Parcel Zoned EFU-TRB, LM and AS and located on Highway 20 east of
Bend. The Applicant is Christian Life Center. (File #'s A-05-5 and A-05-6) —
Catharine White, Community Development Department
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, August 22, 2005
Page 13 of 19 Pages
Commissioner Luke suggested to Legal Counsel that the Board do this on
Wednesday as Legal Counsel has been on vacation and needs to do additional
review for some of the questions. Commissioner DeWolf said he is fine with
doing that he was just talking about the discussion this morning and seems like
this could be about a 3 minute discussion.
Ms. Craghead said she has read both the notices of appeal and had discussed
with staff the recommendation. This morning she did read staff's memo to the
Board in which she did a very good job of outlining what the issues are as far as
the factors the Board needs to consider in deciding whether or not to hear it and
if so, on what type of hearing to hear. Because both notices of appeal did raise
issues of the hearings officers interpretation of code provisions and there are
various constitutional issues which the Board does not decide. That will be
issues that will be raised on appeal because either way this is going to go on
appeal, I am sure.
Commissioner Luke said that since there are constitutional issues, what is the
downside of letting this go directly to LUBA. Ms. Craghead said the downside
is that both sides have raised issues of local code interpretation. You would not
get deference at LUBA for those issues on appeal. For the Board to hear this it
would then be a final decision of the governing body that would then be entitled
to deference on the issues.
Commissioner Luke said the City of Bend hears very few of theses. He would
be interested to know how many of their ordinances get turned over because the
hearings officer hears them and the Council does not. Ms. Craghead asked if
this was actual land use approvals. Commissioner Luke said "yes." Ms.
Craghead said she did not know what that statistic is. It is safer if we do this.
This is a highly controversial one and has a lot of issues of interpretations to be
made. A lot if information was turned in during the hearings officers'
provision, she assumed. She has not seen the record for that but there would be
issues.
Ms. White asked if the Board wants any background information before
Wednesday. Commissioner Daly said it is all right here. Ms. White said she
could just summarize it. The Board will hear this Wednesday.

11. DISCUSSION and Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2005-325,
Intergovernmental Agreement with Bend Metro Parks District for Transfer of
Restrictive Covenant on Eastgate Property — Mark Pilliod, Legal Counsel
Mark Pilliod said he and Sharon Smith have gone through the agreement. It
reflects the discussion the Board had a couple of weeks ago. The intention is to
allow the Park District to dispose of about 80 acres of property that is part of
the Eastgate Property, to affect a rezone and a series of reversionary interests as
to the balance of the property so that folks in the neighborhood and the public
generally, can be satisfied that the property will be reserved for park purposes.
The ultimate disposition of the 80 acres would generate some capital which the
Park District then plans on acquiring and improving the Pine Nursery property.
It is somewhat of a complicated series of transactions which is part of the
reason in putting it in the form of an IGA.
After Sharon Smith provided us with the colored illustrations of the property
and its current zoning in particular, we noticed that there was a mistake in the
description between the illustration, Exhibit A, and one of the recitals on page
2, Recital D. I went ahead and changed the language to reflect what was shown
on the illustration. The illustration turned out to be wrong and we are going to
change Exhibit A to properly identify and illustrate the current zoning. With
the correction and the substitution of a new Exhibit A and the language in the
Recital D, which is intended to identify the current EFU and RR10 zoning, we
are otherwise completely in agreement as to the terms.
Commissioner DeWolf asked if there was something we can do this morning or
do we need to hold off until Wednesday on this. Mr. Pilliod said subject to the
Board's allowance of staff to substitute the correct Exhibit A, which is the
current zoning, and the references in Recital D, again to reflect what the current
zoning is, the Board could authorize the approval of and later signatures by the
Board and the District.
Commissioner Luke said that this is the product of the work between Park and
Rec and neighborhoods out there working through this process. Mr. Pilliod said
that it does reflect agreement between the District and its immediate neighbors
in the Eastgate area. It is reflected in material that was attached as an exhibit to
the IGA. There is a memorandum of understanding which the folks out there
have agreed to. The agreement, the IGA with the County, reflects that this

fulfills the party's representations and their understanding of what is going to
happen.
