MINUTES OF SPECIAL WORK SESSION
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 28, 2005
Commissioners' Conference Room - Administration Building - 1300 NW Wall St..., Bend
Present were Commissioners Michael M. Daly, Bev Clarno and Dennis R. Luke. Also
present were Catherine Morrow and Kevin Harrison, Community Development; and
Mark Pilliod and Laurie Craghead, Legal Counsel. Also in attendance were four
other citizens; no representatives of the media were present.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the Thornburgh Destination Resort
appeal; in particular, to address questions from the Board regarding the history of
the application, arguments that have been submitted, and possible conditions
and/or findings. The meeting began at 1:35 p.m.
Catherine Morrow gave an overview of the application and appeal, and said the
discussion should address how the Board can balance the arguments that have been
submitted.
Commissioner Luke said he had received several a-mails since the hearing, and
was unsure as to whether to open and read them. Ms. Morrow indicated perhaps
the Commissioners should forward the e-mails to staff, who can determine if the
Board should receive them. She added that anything received after today cannot
be considered. The only one who can submit information now is the applicant, for
final rebuttal.
Ms. Morrow also said that she and Laurie Craghead had gone through the e-mails
and letters received previously and separated out the ones that have no bearing on
the Board's decision.
Kevin Harrison explained that the process goes from conceptual master plan to
final master plan, and then to individual subdivision plats and site plans. As a
development progresses, the information becomes more detailed.

He then gave the criteria for a conceptual master plan, which needs to meet legal
standards and objectives. He added that there are some feasibility issues to be
considered, such as road access, potable water sources, sewage treatment and so on.
He stated that the plan appears feasible at this point; conditions can be ordered to
demonstrate that issues regarding road access, water and other items can be
addressed.
The group also talked about CC&R's and how, or if, they could be utilized to
fulfill conditions.
Ms. Morrow indicated that the opponents' main concerns were an objection to the
procedure for setting the hearing; the submission of rebuttal information; and the
applicants' undeclared financial information.
The Commissioners and staff then discussed when conditions can be required, and
which conditions might be considered. The Commissioners asked staff to break
down which conditions are acceptable to the applicant, which conditions are
recommended by staff, and which conditions the Board wants included at this
point.
It was pointed out that the applicant has either already met specific conditions,
could meet specific conditions, will not meet specific conditions, or it is not
feasible to do so. These are aspects to consider as a basis for approval or denial.
Being no further items addressed, the meeting adjourned at 3:40 p.m.
