Daly, Dennis R. Luke and Tammy Baney. Also present were County Administrator Dave Kanner; Mark Pilliod and Laurie Craghead, Legal Counsel; Tom Anderson and George Read, Community Development Department; media representative Keith Chu of The Bulletin; and six other citizens. Chair Daly opened the meeting at 10: 00 a. m. 1. Before the Board was Citizen Input. None was offered. The Measure 37 opening statement had previously been distributed to all parties. 2. Before the Board was a Hearing (continued from December 4 and December 11) and Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2006-170, a Measure 37 Claim (Claimant: Reames). Attorney Bruce White, representing the claimant, asked that the hearing be postponed until Monday, March 19, 2007. He will provide a letter stating this and also tolling the time restraints. A letter of opposition had been submitted by Central Oregon Land Watch, which is also involved in an appeal on another claim. There are also Court decisions being made on this issue that could affect this claim. His clients would like to wait until some of these issues have been addressed before proceeding. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting - Land Use Monday, January 22, 2007 Page 1 of 7 Pages Mark Pilliod indicated that Legal Counsel has no objection to the postponement. LUKE: Move that this item be postponed until March 19, 2007. BANEY: Second. VOTE: BANEY: Yes. LUKE: Yes. DALY: Chair votes yes. Mark Pilliod stated that a Jackson County claimant who received a waiver under Measure 37 was told he need not take any further action with the development of the property and could transfer ownership, and the waiver would stay with the property. A Circuit Court Judge then decided that this could not be done. The Judge also ruled that the DLCD had the authority to make waivers, without legislative consensus. This decision does not bind Deschutes County Circuit Court, however. Also, this decision is not consistent with a similar one made in Crook County. 3. Before the Board was a Hearing (Continued from August 2, 2006) and Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2007-017, a Measure 37 Claim (Claimant: Goodwin). Tom Anderson explained that the claim was originally was filed by the James Goodwin trust, but was then modified to include the trustees as individuals. The property is located off Stevens Canyon Road, about nine miles north of Sisters. It is 160 acres in size, zoned F-2 with a wildlife overlay combining zone. The intent is to subdivide the property for residential uses. The amount of damage claimed is approximately $600,000. The ownership of this property is complicated. It was originally acquired by James Goodwin, Ted's father. In November 1978 a land sale contract was entered into and consummated in 1984. The property was purchased by various partners, but over time Ted and Laurie Goodwin acquired ownership of the property and now control 100% interest. For purposes of Measure 37, there are two key dates. The original date of acquisition by the family was November 1978. The first Measure 37 interest by Ted and Laurie Goodwin, the claimants, occurred at the land sale contract in 1989. Compensation would date back to 1978; but the waiver would be 1989. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting - Land Use Monday, January 22, 2007 Page 2 of 7 Pages There was one letter of opposition received from Central Oregon Land Watch, which is part of the record. Zoning changed when the new forest rules were adopted in 1989. There used to be three zoning designations for forest uses, and the minimum lot size was 40 acres. The 1989 waiver would allow the land to be subdivided into 40-acre parcels. Commissioner Daly asked if the ownership of the partners was equal. Mark Pilliod replied that ownership was in common, and the claimants had an interest in the entire property. Bob Lovlien, attorney for the claimant, indicated he had no comments. Mark Pilliod said that the staff report lists June 1, 1989 as the first acquisition of the property, but the Order states June 24, 1989. It appears that possession occurred on June 1 but the contract was executed on June 24. The date in the Order should be changed to June 1. Tom Anderson stated that on page 4 of the staff report under "reduction in value", the amount shown should be $600,000. LUKE: Move approval of the modifications as explained. BANEY: Second. VOTE: BANEY: Yes. LUKE: Yes. DALY: Chair votes yes. Being no other testimony offered, the Board then took action. LUKE: Move approval of the Order as amended. BANEY: Second. VOTE: BANEY: Yes. LUKE: Yes. DALY: Chair votes yes. 4. Before the Board was a Hearing and Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2007-003, a Measure 37 Claim (Claimant: Hadley). Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting - Land Use Monday, January 22, 2007 Page 3 of 7 Pages Tom Anderson said the property is located at 22015 Bear Creek Road, just east of Torkelson Road. It consists of sixteen acres zoned EFU, in the Tumalo/Redmond/Bend sub-zone. The claimant wishes to create a three-lot subdivision of approximately five acres each. The damage claim is for $243,804. Ownership is straightforward. The land was acquired by Loretta Hadley on July 10, 1974, and she has owned it continuously since then. In 1974 zoning was A-1, which probably allowed a five-acre minimum lot size. The date of acquisition for development purposes would be July 10, 1974. Based on that date, a waiver would also be required from the State. Owner Loretta Hadley indicated she agrees with the report. No other testimony was offered. Commissioner Daly stated it appears that letters from Central Oregon Land Watch have been received on all of the day's claims except this one. LUKE: Move approval of Order No. 2007-003. BANEY: Second. VOTE: BANEY: Yes. LUKE: Yes. DALY: Chair votes yes. 5. Before the Board was a Hearing and Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2007-010, a Measure 37 Claim (Claimant: Harris). Tom Anderson said the property is located east of Big River Drive and the Deschutes River. It consists of approximately 71 acres, predominately zoned RR-10 except for a small portion along the River that is zoned flood plain. Commissioner Luke asked if flood plain zoning affects Measure 37 claims. Mr. Anderson replied that this has not yet been contested, but the portion of this property zoned flood plain is very small. Mr. Anderson noted that the property is also in a landscape management and wildlife zone. The claimant would like to subdivide it into homesites and resort amenities, but has given no specifics on the size of the lots. The damage claim ranges from $7 million to $10 million. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting - Land Use Monday, January 22, 2007 Page 4 of 7 Pages Ownership has gone through a few steps. It was originally acquired by Donald and Shirley Harris on April 10, 1973. It was conveyed to a revocable trust in October 1999. Mr. Harris passed away in 2004, leaving Shirley Harris as the sole trustee. In the past when there was a question regarding revocable versus irrevocable trusts, the Board has recognized that the revocable trust is not a break in the ownership history. Therefore, the date of the Order would be April 101, 1973 for any future land use applications. There is a bit of uncertainty as to what the zoning was at that time. Later in 1973 the County modified the zoning, but in early 1973 it was covered only by the comprehensive plan. On the comprehensive plan map at that time, landscape management is an overlay zone. Surrounding the property then were rural recreational and rural residential areas. Commissioner Luke noted that there were different rules in 1973 regarding septic systems, but these don't fall under Measure 37. Mr. Anderson said that this is correct; Measure 37 does not cover land use rules or those for health and safety. There were two letters of opposition from the same owner, a neighbor; one came from the owner and the other came from an attorney representing the owner. These are in the record. Mr. Anderson indicated that on the first page of the staff report, under current zoning, it should show RR 10 and FP. LUKE: Move approval of the changes. BANEY: Second. VOTE: BANEY: Yes. LUKE: Yes. DALY: Chair votes yes. Ed Fitch, representing the claimant, said he agrees with the staff report regarding the date of acquisition. He understands that current regulations will, apply in regard to sewer and water. A planned unit development is being considered, and that the property was historically used as a youth camp for years. He has already spoken with adjacent property owners. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting - Land Use Monday, January 22, 2007 Page 5 of 7 Pages No other testimony was offered. A letter of opposition from Central Oregon Land Watch is already in the record. LUKE: Move approval, as amended. BANEY: Second. VOTE: BANEY: Yes. LUKE: Yes. DALY: Chair votes yes. 6. Before the Board was a Hearing and Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2007-002, a Measure 37 Claim (Claimant: Zierlein). Tom Anderson explained that the property, located at 3968 NW Coyner Avenue in Redmond, east of Helmholtz, consists of 9.5 acres zoned EFU, with the Tumalo/Redmond/Bend subzone. The claimants wish to subdivide it for residential uses. The amount of damage claimed is $600,000. The ownership history is clean. It was acquired by the claimants via a land sale contract on November 18, 1966 and has been continuously owned since then. Zoning at that time was minimal. The Order would establish the review date as November 18, 1966. No letters of opposition have been received. Ed Fitch, attorney for the claimant, stated that the claimants have a handicapped child and want to subdivide the property in order to provide for their child's future care. Commissioner Baney said that the claimants have not submitted any information regarding water and sewer feasibility. Mr. Pilliod explained that the County's procedure Ordinance on Measure 37 claims indicates that the preferred form of evidence of value is an appraisal. The appraisal would address the feasibility of any potential future development. In the past the County has not insisted on an appraisal. Any development of the property would have to address all issues regarding feasibility as part of the site development. Informally, and based on Board decisions, this requirement has been relaxed. Staff wishes to amend the Ordinance regarding this issue, since feasibility would have to be addressed during site development. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Meeting - Land Use Monday, January 22, 2007 Page 6 of 7 Pages Commissioner Luke noted that the County has been fortunate that most applications have been formal. Claimants don't have to submit a claim on the County forms. Mr. Fitch stated that there is a home on the property with a septic system and a domestic water system. No other testimony was offered. LUKE: Move approval of the Order as amended. BANEY: Second. VOTE: BANEY: Yes. LUKE: Yes. DALY: Chair votes yes. 7. Before the Board were Additions to the Agenda. No other items were discussed. Being no further items to come before the Board, Chair Daly adjourned the meeting at 10: SO a. m. DATED this 22°d Day of January 2007 for the Deschutes County Board of Commissioners.
