MINUTES OF BUSINESS MEETING - LAND USE
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MONDAY, APRIL 16, 2007
Commissioners' Hearing Room - Administration Building - 1300 NW Wall St., Bend
Present were Commissioner Michael M. Daly, Dennis R. Luke and Tammy Baney.
Also present were Mark Pilliod and Laurie Craghead, Legal Counsel; Tom
Anderson, Catherine Morrow and George Read, Community Development
Department; and six other citizens, including a reporter from Fox TV. The
Measure 37 opening statement was distributed.
Chair Daly opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m.
1. Before the Board was Citizen Input.
None was offered.
2. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2007-
162, a Contract with Elk Horn Land Development for the Purchase of
Quadrants in the Newberry Neighborhood.
Laurie Craghead explained that this contract has been in negotiations since
August 2006. The County went out for a request for proposals for the New
Neighborhood, and Pahlisch was the successful bidder. An original contract
and numerous addendums have been approved over time, and the new contract
will consolidate and replace the previous documents. Changes have been
negotiated, the price is higher and the structure of the payments has been
simplified. The SDC payment amount has increased as well.

The number of other builder lot has been decreased and the location has been
changed; this is due in part because there was not much response from other
builders when the lots were offered for sale. Some lots will be donated to
Habitat for Humanity as well, along with the house plans.
Commissioner Luke stated that he wants some assurance that others will be able
to build in the area. Ms. Craghead said they advertised first in the La Pine area
and there was no interest; they then advertised in other areas and there were few
buyers, most of whom sold the lots at a profit instead of building.
Commissioner Baney said that no one bought more than five lots in the past.
Commissioner Daly stated the market was unknown at the time of the first
offering and there could be more interest in the lots at this point. He said the
purpose of making these lots available for locals was to offer them an
opportunity to participate.
Tom Anderson stated that in Quadrant 2-C the lots were marketed to others, and
Pahlisch should do the same with the other Quadrants. They have not been
required to do so but have done this marketing anyway. Commissioner Baney
asked if the lots in the other Quadrant are now available. Ms. Craghead said
that the ones that would be on the market had never been offered previously.
The major points of these negotiations have been brought to the Board in
several instances.
Commissioner Luke explained that the intention was to have deed restrictions in
place to make sure the homes are built within a specific period of time and will
not sell the lots without first building. If a citizen wants to buy a lot and won't
build right away, they should be able to do so, although the opportunity to
"flip" the lots exists.
Ms. Craghead stated that they have to build out a Quadrant 50% before going to
the next one. Commissioner Luke said that this puts restrictions on the
competition and giving Pahlisch an advantage over other builders.
Commissioner Baney stated she agrees with the deed restriction. Ms. Craghead
said the lots are to be sold below market and Pahlisch does not want others to
buy the lots and turn them over for a big profit. Pahlisch also has to pay the
TDC amount on top of the cost of the land. Commissioner Daly expressed
concern about this. Commissioner Luke stated that Pahlisch has been
subsidized by the County through SDC's. He does not want to support giving
Pahlisch an advantage.

Commissioner Luke said if someone wanted to resell a lot within a certain
period of time, perhaps they should have to share the profits with Pahlisch.
Commissioner Baney stated there is only so much you can do, and her only
concern is that someone could not hold on to the land as an investment.
Commissioner Daly said that the market value changed a lot from the first
contract, and he would like to know what the market value of a lot is now.
Commissioner Baney said that this has been negotiated over a long period of
time and due diligence has been done. Commissioner Luke stated that everyone
needs to be treated equally. Ms. Craghead said that in the first Quadrant, some
lots were purchased and flipped and another building left the sites messy. Their
goal is to make the community whole instead of waiting for years to have
homes built. They are also responsible for the infrastructure.
Commissioner Baney said that there needs to be common ground, and perhaps
the County could require that they have consistent deed restrictions and the
same time requirements. Commissioner Daly stated that basic property rights
should not be limited. Commissioner Luke said that Pahlisch could go into a
partnership and take over all the lots, which would not allow other local
builders and individuals a chance. Commissioner Daly stated that Pahlisch is a
master developer and has good oversight of his projects, but he wonders what
the market value of the lots truly is.
Ms. Craghead said that if there is an anti-flipping clause, she is unsure how
would that be handled by Pahlisch. Commissioner Luke stated that this is
market driven and should not be restricted to five lots. Tom Anderson said
there was an appraisal done earlier. Commissioner Baney stated that
negotiations were for a stated price and consistency is important.
Commissioner Luke said that he will not support this contract if the terms for
other potential buyers are different from that required by Pahlisch.
Commissioner Baney agreed.
Mr. Anderson said that he will make arrangements with Pahlisch to work out
some of the details. He added that this has long history and the property sold in
the remaining Quadrants will be sold below market. The original plan was
$24,000 per acre, and was an open bidding process Pahlisch took a lot of risk
taking on this project originally, so the price of the property remained the same
even though there are inflationary factors in effect over time.

3. Before the Board was a Hearing (continued from April 2) and
Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2007-070, a Measure 37 Claim
(Clement).
Mark Pilliod stated that the Commissioners wanted some additional time and
information regarding the nature of the original acquisition. Some new
information has been received, which reinforces the conclusion the claimant
wants regarding adverse possession. There is a letter from an attorney from the
1960's, and the documents also included the water rights situation. The Order
and staff report were changed accordingly, back to the 1960's, prior to zoning
laws. This land is adjacent to other property that has already been approved for
a claim.
Chair Daly opened the hearing at this time. Lisa Klemp, an attorney for the
claimant, came before the Board and said her clients agree with the revised
Order.
LUKE: Move approval.
BANEY: Second.
VOTE: BANEY: Yes.
LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Chair votes yes.
4. Before the Board was a Hearing (continued from April 2) and
Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2007-073, a Measure 37 Claim
(Pine Meadow Ranch).
Mark Pilliod said that the attorney for the claimant has asked that the matter be
continued to May. The attorney is hoping that the legislature will make
changes this year that would possibly affect this issue, and have asked for a
continuance to May 7. Commissioner Luke stated that it would be better to
delay the matter until later in the session since the legislature may be still in
session until June. Ms. Klemp said that extended it further out would be
acceptable.
