Title II is for the Resource Advisory Council, comprised of several counties to
handle projects mostly on public lands. Commissioner Daly stated that people
have to apply for the RAC funds, and the Council reviews the various projects
and decides which should be funded. Deschutes County usually requests
funding for the weed program, as do two other counties.
LUKE: Move approval.
BANEY: Second.
VOTE: BANEY: Yes.
LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Chair votes yes.
Mr. Stutler explained that he was able to attend a meeting in Washington, D.C.
that was attended by about forty agencies from around the country and the
world. Deschutes County was the only county there, and that was by request.
He spoke at the conference regarding Project Wildfire and FireFree, and the
response was strong. There are many agencies throughout the world working
on wildland-urban interface issues. They will use these projects as a model
internationally; the work will be finalized this fall. Australian and New Zealand
representatives will be coming to Deschutes County to see how the programs
are handled here.
A brief discussion took place regarding a request by residents of Crooked River
Ranch to improve access for them; this comes on the heels of a recent fire in
that area.

4. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2007-
343, an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Oregon Board of Parole
and Post-Prison Supervision regarding Conducting Violation Hearings for
Offenders.
Becky Wanless said that the Parole Board gives local entities the option of
conducting their own violation hearings or having the Parole Board do it. She
said the local office has more knowledge about the situation and it is their
preference to handle these locally. A small amount of funding is provided by
the State, which covers much of the cost of the hearings officers who are
already on staff doing other work.

5. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2007-

program since Deschutes County has the only facility to do so. The amount
covers the full cost of the program.

19. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2007-
339, a Services Agreement with Mark Williams, M.D. regarding Mental
Health Psychiatric Services.
Greg Canfield explained that these services are paid by the State. The
insurance information from Dr. Williams still needs to be provided.
Commissioner Baney asked if this ever is handled through an RFP process. Mr.
Canfield said that he is not sure if an RFP has been done in the past, but in his
experience it is hard to get doctors to provide this service due to the rate of pay
allowed and other requirements. Lori Hill added that at the time Dr. Williams
started doing the work, there were no other psychiatrists practicing in the area.

Dave Kanner stated that it is extremely hard to obtain the services of a good
psychiatrist who is willing to do this kind of work for a government entity.

LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Chair votes yes.
20. DELIBERATIONS and Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2007-125,
a Measure 37 Claim (Claimant: Central Electric Cooperative).
Tom Anderson and Mark Pilliod came before the Board. Some additional
material had been submitted at the hearing and the Board had asked for some
time to review it.
Mr. Pilliod mentioned that he had spoken with Commissioner Baney
concerning the waiver issued by the State relative to the Jordan Road line; it is
not directly related to this issue. For the record, he wanted to furnish the Board
with the final opinion and order and staff report provided by the State.
Commissioner Daly asked for a summation. Mr. Pilliod said it has to do with
the power line between approximately Eagle Crest and Sisters. In December
2006 a Board decision was made, which has since been reviewed by the Circuit
Court and is now at the Court of Appeals. The State's decision was the subject
of a decision by DLCD. Their decision was essentially the same as the
County's, and as far as he knows it was not appealed. The State was careful to
distinguish any later easements from the ones acquired earlier. This is
consistent with the Board's decision and practice.
Commissioner Baney asked if she could ask a question of the claimant. Mr.
Pilliod pointed out that the testimony part of the hearing is closed; the Board
would need to provide an opportunity to those in opposition to respond to any
new information that may come before the Board today. If new evidence is
submitted, the opponents should be allowed to address it as well. This can all
happen today.
Commissioner Daly asked if this would postpone the decision. Mr. Pilliod
replied that the decision could be made today.

Commissioner Luke asked if the answers to her questions would change her
vote. She said they probably would not but was uncertain. Mr. Pilliod said that
if information is offered after the vote it could make the matter more
complicated. Ms. Baney stated that it could influence her decision and she
wants her questions on the record.
Commissioner Baney asked if, in order to increase the voltage, the size of the
easement is important. Martin Hansen for Central Electric Cooperative stated
that the first part of the same line from Eagle Crest was built in as little as ten
feet. It depends on engineering requirements. Commissioner Baney noted
there are some restrictions on some of the easement sizes, which is why she
asked the question. Commissioner Baney asked how they verify whether they
are within the easement. Mr. Hansen said they use their own surveyors, and the
information is shared with the property owners. They try to work with the
property owners, and can move the easement location in some cases if the
property owners so desire.
Commissioner Baney asked if they are not located within the existing easement,
would this take them outside of the acquisition date for that easement. If the
line were moved outside of the existing location, they could be out of
compliance. Mr. Hansen said that they would stay within the easement in this
situation. Commissioner Baney asked how this can be monitored to assure they
actually stay within the easement.
Commissioner Luke noted that Community Development is not able to monitor
rights of way; that is why there are courts. Commissioner Baney stated that
approving the waiver allows them to move forward, but there will be no future
review of the work to be done. Mr. Hansen said that once he gets a building
permit, they take care not to build outside of the area waived to avoid
complications such as trespass issues. They hire surveyors to make sure this
doesn't happen.
Mr. Anderson stated that this Measure 37 waiver process does not approve a
use. The waiver sets the land use rules at a specific date; it doesn't get them
past land use approval. Technically, they would have to submit for an
administrative decision regarding the criteria of the work to be done. A land
use approval would be required that authorizes them to move forward. They
are not free technically to upgrade the line until they get land use approval.
Commissioner Baney said that she wants to consider this as she moves forward.
Commissioner Luke stated that cooperatives still have the power to condemn.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, June 27, 2007
Page 10 of 23 Pages
Mr. Anderson said that is true, but they still have to get land use approval to
build.
Chair Daly asked if there was any further testimony. None was offered.
Mark Pilliod clarified what the Order contains. After the last hearing it was
noticed that a few words were left off of page 5 of the staff report. In regard to
the sentence, "not a development permit.... in 1972 would allow", the words
"would allow" have been added.
The only other change is on Exhibit B, as references to U.S. Forest land were
not included since there is jurisdiction to allow waivers over federal land. The
Exhibit now just corresponds with private property only.
LUKE: Move approval of the amendments suggested by Legal Counsel.
BANEY: Second.
VOTE: BANEY: Yes.
LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Chair votes yes.
Commissioner Daly pointed out again that he is a member of Central Electric
Cooperative as a customer. Commissioner Baney said she was a past customer
and gets a small dividend check every year.
LUKE: Move approval of Order No. 2007-125.
BANEY: Second.
VOTE: BANEY: Yes.
LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Chair votes yes.
21. Before the Board was Consideration of Approval of an Increase in
Employee Co-Pay of Health Benefits Premium.
Dave Kanner said that the collective bargaining agreements allow for an annual
increase. He had asked EBAC to increase the co-pay to $50, the maximum
allowed under the agreements. The County is in good shape with its benefits
reserve, and expects next year it will be fully funded by the equivalent of one
year. However, he is concerned about the increasing costs of medical care and
feels it is important for employees to participate in this aspect. This change
would result in a co-pay of about $40. Eventually this will need to go up.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, June 27, 2007
Page 11 of 23 Pages
He said that he feels it is better to ratchet the co-pay up over time instead of
doing a big increase all at once. EBAC considered the maximum amount, but
felt that at this time it should be raised by a lower amount. They recommended
an increase of 8.5% from $35 per month to $38 per month. This is taken out of
paychecks pre-tax, resulting in an average cost of $28 per month to employees.
Commissioner Luke said he is disappointed that this is coming to the Board at
this late date. He would have liked to have more discussion prior to this time.
This change would generate only about $30,000 a year. The County was at a
co-pay of $50 for several years but union negotiations brought this amount
down to $35. They realize there may be a need to raise it in the future. There is
also a $15 co-pay each time an employee goes to a service provider. He
believes in having a one-year reserve, but can't support this because of the bad
will it may generate with employees.
Mr. Kanner stated he doesn't recall a request for discussions on this matter. He
agreed the increase is symbolic and will show up in the ending fund balance.
However, it sends the message that health care costs are going up and that
employees need to be aware of this.
Commissioner Baney stated this was discussed in the past but didn't' realize it
only captures about $30,000. She said perhaps a letter putting everyone on
notice might be more appropriate, to offset any potential bad will.
Commissioner Luke said the County used to have a Cadillac plan that cost
employees nearly nothing. They worked with insurers and decided to go self-
insured. A part of this is to have a year's reserve. Employees have given up
some benefits to get to this point. With the kind of money now in reserves, and
with the very active EBAC, he feels there is no need to make this adjustment at
this time. He also noted that most people are very aware of the increasing cost
of health care.
Commissioner Daly asked about the $13,000 per employee charged to the
departments. Mr. Wynne replied that the amount is 8.5% higher than the
previous year. The $38 versus the $35 is approximately 8.5%. Basically with
this change the employees would be covering the increase. Mr. Wynne
explained where the funding comes from; budgeting is done based on past
claims and other factors. In the budget the $35 is the basis; the extra $3 will
show up as additional revenue. Departments are being charged an additional
8.5% in any case; the 8.5% paid by employees would go into the same fund.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, June 27, 2007
Page 12 of 23 Pages
Commissioner Daly asked if this increase is needed to stay even. Mr. Wynne
said that it is a small amount and is primarily symbolic. It is not necessary to
fund the program.
Commissioner Luke stated the City of Bend is not self-insured and they do not
have a reserve. The money paid by the County into reserves should be able to
cover a year's claims.
Commissioner Luke said that it is already in the budget at $35. Commissioner
Baney thought that a note should go to employees to put them on alert that this
cost could go up in the future.
The item died for lack of a motion.
22. Before the Board was Consideration of First and Second Readings and
Adoption, by Emergency, of Ordinance No. 2007-017, Adopting Revised
Personnel Rules.
LUKE: Move first and second readings by title only.
BANEY: Second.
VOTE: BANEY: Yes.
LUKE: Yes.
DALY: Chair votes yes.
Chair Daly conducted the first and second readings by title only, declaring an

Mr. Kanner said that the old policies are outdated and in some cases conflict
with newer state and federal laws. These rules would bring the County into
compliance.
LUKE: Move approval.

23. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2007-102,
Distributing Monies from the Deschutes County Land Sales Fund.
Susan Ross distributed the Order to the Board at this time. This fund is the land
sales fund, and all proceeds from foreclosure sales go into this as well as
penalties, fees and interest on notes. The Order allows the appropriate amounts
to be distributed to the taxing districts.

093, Adopting the Fiscal Year 2007-08 Budget for Deschutes County.
LUKE: Move approval.
BANEY: Second.
Commissioner Baney said that she would prefer the increased tipping fee be
removed from the budget. The citizen members of the Budget Committee all
voted against this increase. Also, much of the federal funding for the Road
Department is being lost, and she would like to carefully analyze how this
funding can be restored, perhaps by increased tipping fees and other sources.
She said she feels she would like to have the situation analyzed more fully. The
increased fee could be initiated at later date if needed.

52. ADDITIONS TO THE AGENDA
Commissioner Luke asked that the tipping fee be instituted after 60 days, so
that the haulers will have adequate time to notify customers. Commissioner
Baney stated she would like to wait until the idea of other types of funding,
such as an SDC, are addressed. Commissioner Luke observed that it could take
a long time to resolve this issue.
Commissioner Baney then said that she thinks they should ask for $10 instead
of $5. Mr. Kanner stated that the timber receipt funds do not go into operations,
just into preservation and overlay projects. The operational money is being cut.
There will be a small additional amount from State gas tax. They will be losing
overall funding, however. They will not be able to keep pace with the increased
cost and demand.
Commissioner Baney said she realized this is a serious issue but she prefers to
analyze all alternatives before instituting one of them. The $5 was put into
place because no funding was anticipated; however, the program was continued
for a year. Now all alternatives need to be discussed.
Commissioner Luke stated that they are short over $1 million to complete a
mandatory project at Deschutes Junction. This is a necessary move, and the
impact to citizens will be minimal. This is an opportunity before going into a
big crisis mode to generate some funds for reserves. The legislature won't act
to improve the situation. In fact, they are taking funding away from ODOT.
Mr. Kanner clarified that the committee is working only on the SDC
methodology, not the road situation in general. Commissioner Baney said she
would like to utilize that same group to analyze the overall situation instead of
addressing it in a piecemeal manner. Commissioner Luke said that local
government is very restricted on sources of revenue, but this is one the Board
can do.

Township 15S, Range 12E, Section 16C, Tax lot 200
Deschutes County (the Property)
Claim: The demand for compensation and any supporting information received from the
Claimant by the State of Oregon (the Claim).
Claimant submitted the Claim to the State of Oregon under ORS 197.352. Under OAR 125-145-
0010 et seq., the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) referred the Claim to the
Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD) as the regulating entity. This order
is based on the record herein, including the Findings and Conclusions set forth in the Final Staff
Report and Recommendation of DLCD (the DLCD Report) attached to and by this reference
incorporated into this order.
ORDER
The Claim is approved as to laws administered by DLCD and the Land Conservation and
Development Commission (LCDC) for the reasons set forth in the DLCD Report, and subject to
the following terms:
1. In lieu of compensation under ORS 197.352, the State of Oregon will not apply the following
law to Central Electric Cooperative's upgrade of its transmission-distribution line to the extent
FINAL ORDER Page 1 of 4
that such upgrade is located within the area authorized under the easements contained in
Exhibit 1 to the claim, and to the extent that the upgrade is encompassed within the use
rights granted by those easements: ORS 215.130(5) and (9). This land use regulation will
not apply to the claimant only to the extent necessary to allow it to use the area authorized
under the easements contained in Exhibit 1 to the claim to construct, operate and maintain a
115 kV transmission line and associated poles within such area, and only to the extent that use
was permitted when it acquired the easement on August 10, 1962.
2. The action by the State of Oregon provides the state's authorization to the claimant to
use its property for the use described in this report, subject to the standards in effect on
August 10, 1962.
3. To the extent that any law, order, deed, agreement or other legally enforceable public or
private requirement provides that the subject easement may not be used without a permit, license
or other form of authorization or consent, the order will not authorize the use of the easement
unless the claimant first obtains that permit, license or other form of authorization or consent.
Such requirements may include, but are not limited to: a building permit, a land use decision, a
"permit" as defined in ORS 215.402 or 227.160, other permits or authorizations from local, state
or federal agencies and restrictions on the use of the subject easement imposed by private parties.
4. Any use of the subject property by the claimant under the terms of the order will remain
subject to the following laws: (a) those laws not specified in Condition 1 above; (b) any laws
enacted or enforced by a public entity other than the Commission or the department; and
(c) those laws not subject to ORS 197.352 including, without limitation, those laws exempted
under ORS 197.352(3).
5. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing terms and conditions, in order for the
claimant to use the subject property, it may be necessary for it to obtain a decision under
ORS 197.352 from a city and/or county and/or metropolitan service district that enforces land
use regulations applicable to the easement. Nothing in this order relieves the claimant from the
necessity of obtaining a decision under ORS 197.352 from a local public entity that has
jurisdiction to enforce a land use regulation applicable to a use of the subject easement by the
claimant.
This Order is entered by the Manager for the Measure 37 Division of the DLCD as a final order
of DLCD and the Land Conservation and Development Commission under ORS 197.352,
OAR 660-002-0010(8), and OAR 125, division 145; and by the Administrator for the State
Services Division of the DAS as a final order of DAS under ORS 197.352, OAR 125,
division 145, and ORS 293.

M#122394 - Central Electric Cooperative 1
I. SUMMARY OF CLAIM
The claimant, Central Electric Cooperative, seeks compensation in the amount of $7,905,000 for
the reduction in fair market value as a result of land use regulations that are alleged to restrict its
desired use of certain private real property. The claimant desires compensation or the right to
upgrade an electrical transmission line and associated poles located on an easement owned by the
claimant. The line that runs on the subject easement is a portion of an electric transmission line,
referred to as the Jordan Road line, that runs across 4.56 miles of private real property located in
northern Deschutes County. (See claim.)
II. SUMMARY OF STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Based on the preliminary findings and conclusions set forth below, the Department of Land
Conservation and Development (the department) has determined that the claim is valid.
Department staff recommends that, in lieu of compensation, the requirements of the following
state laws enforced by the Land Conservation and Development Commission (the Commission)
or the department not apply to Central Electric Cooperative's upgrade of the current power line
to the extent that such use is located within the area of use authorized by the easements granted
to Central Electric Cooperative prior to 1964 and included with the claim submittal:
ORS 215.130(5) and (9). This law will not apply to the claimant's desired use only to the extent
necessary to allow it to use the subject property for the use described in this report, and only to
the extent that use was permitted when it acquired the rights to construct, operate and maintain
an electric transmission or distribution line or system on various dates in 1962. (See the
complete recommendation in Section VI of this report.)
III. COMMENTS ON THE CLAIM
Comments Received
On May 24, 2006, pursuant to OAR 125-145-0080, the Oregon Department of Administrative
Services (DAS) provided written notice to the owners of surrounding properties. According to
DAS, three written comments were received in response to the 20-day notice.
One of the written comments does not address whether the claim meets the criteria for relief
under ORS 197.352. Continents concerning the effects a use of the subject easement may have
on surrounding areas are generally not something that the department is able to consider in
determining whether to waive a state law. If funds do become available to pay compensation,
then such effects may become relevant in determining which claims to pay compensation for
instead of waive a state law. The other comments are relevant, and include information and legal
argument concerning whether the claimant's easement is private real property and therefore
eligible for compensation under Measure 37, whether the restriction on the claimant's use of the
subject easement reduces the fair market value of the property, and whether the subject
easements were acquired in 2001 (after the alleged law reducing the value of the property was
enacted) rather than 1962. These comments have been considered by the department in
preparing this report, along with comments that have been received on the draft report (see
section VII of this report).
M#122394 - Central Electric Cooperative 2
IV. TIMELINESS OF CLAIM
Requirement
ORS 197.352(5) requires that a written demand for compensation be made:
1..For claims arising from land use regulations enacted prior to the effective date of Measure 37
(December 2, 2004), within two years of that effective date, or the date the public entity applies
the land use regulation as an approval criteria to an application submitted by the owner,
whichever is later; or
2. For claims arising from land use regulations enacted after the effective date of Measure 37
(December 2, 2004), within two years of the enactment of the land use regulation, or the date the
owner of the property submits a land use application in which the land use regulation is an
approval criteria, whichever is later.
Findings of Fact
This claim was submitted to DAS on September 19, 2005, for processing under OAR 125,
division 145. The claim identifies ORS 215.130(5) and (9) (Alteration of Nonconforming Use)
as the basis for the claim. Only laws that were enacted or adopted prior to December 2, 2004,
are the basis for this claim.
Conclusions
The claim has been submitted within two years of the effective date of Measure 37 (December 2,
2004), based on land use regulations enacted or adopted prior to December 2, 2004, and is
therefore timely filed.
V. ANALYSIS OF CLAIM
1. Ownershi
ORS 197.352 provides for payment of compensation or relief from specific laws for "owners" as
that term is defined in ORS 197.352. ORS 197.352(11)(C) defines `owner" as "the present
owner of the property, or any interest therein."
Findings of Fact
The property that is the subject of this claim is defined by the easements that the claimant,
Central Electric Cooperative (CEC), provided with the claim. These easements were acquired in
1961 and 1962.2
2 According to the claim, the claimant built the Jordan Road line entirely with a "blanket easement" which they
obtained in 1962. The claim includes eleven different right of way easements with acquisition dates of
November 21, 1961, January 16 (two) and 29, 1962, February 2 and 14, 1962, March 6 and 21, 1962, May 25, 1962,
August 10, 1962, and March 15, 1972. According to the claim, the claimant "moved a portion of the Jordan Road
line subject to the claim again in 1972 under another easement dated March 1972 (still prior to the adoption of the
statewide planning goals or ORS 215.130) that was redundant to the 1962 blanket easement." For purpose of this
M#122394 - Central Electric Cooperative 3
In 2001, CEC acquired replacement easements for much of the power line route (but, apparently,
not all). To the extent that the new easements simply continue the same rights of use as the
initial easements, and do not encompass any new area, the Department finds that CEC acquired
the rights to construct, operate and maintain an electrical transmission or distribution system on
August 10, 1962. However, in at least one case, there is a 1962 easement that was not a blanket
easement, and the new easement in 2001 expanded the width of the easement area. The
Department finds that the claimant acquired the rights to use the additional area for this easement
area in 2001. The easement is located within tax lot 200 (grantor - Central Oregon Irrigation
District) in T15S R12E section 16 (SW %4) (easement #10 in Exhibit 1 to claim). The easement
width for this easement was increased from 20 feet to 40 feet, and the 2001 date will apply to the
area beyond the initial 20-foot width (hereafter, "Area 2"). The Department notes that easements
contained in Exhibit 4 to the claim (the 2001 easements) appears to include other areas not
covered by the 1962 easements. The relief provided by this report and accompanying order is
limited to the area and rights granted by the 1961-1962 easements submitted as Exhibit 1 to the
claim. To the extent that the claimant's proposed rebuild of the transmission line is not within
the geographic scope or use rights granted by the 1961-1962 easements, that use is not
authorized by this report and accompanying order.
CEC's property is "private property" for purposes of ORS 197.352, because CEC is a privately
owned electrical cooperative.
Conclusions
The claimant, CEC is the current owner of property rights to construct, operate and maintain an
electric distribution or transmission line or system under the easements submitted as Exhibit 1 to
CEO's claim. To the extent that the easement area described in Exhibit 4 to the claim extends
outside of the area described in 1961-62 easements, or encompasses additional rights of use
beyond the right to construct, operate and maintain an electric transmission or distribution
system granted in the 1961-62 easements, CEC acquired these rights in 2001. The department
makes no finding or conclusion that the rights authorized by the 1961-62 easements and included
with the claim as Exhibit 1 are sufficient to authorize construction of the entire 115 kV
transmission line that CEC desires to build, operate and maintain. CEO's property that is the
subject of this claim is private real property.3
2. The Laws That are the Basis for This Claim
In order to establish a valid claim, ORS 197.352(1) requires, in part, that a law must restrict the
claimant's use of private real property in a manner that reduces the fair market value of the
property relative to how the property could have been used at the time the claimant or a family
member acquired the property.
claim, the date the last easement was acquired on August 10, 1962 is the date the claimant acquired its rights to
construct, operate and maintain an electric transmission or distribution line or system within the subject property.
Further, two of the eleven easements are not "blanket" easements, but are instead a described width on either side of
a described center line. One of these easements (Keith and Connie Cyrus, grantors, appears not to have been
replaced with a new easement in 2001).
s Central Electric Cooperative is an electric cooperative organized under ORS chapter 62 registered with the Oregon
Secretary of State.
M#122394 - Central Electric Cooperative 4
Findines of Fact
The claim indicates that "current land use regulations of Deschutes County and the state of
Oregon limit the upgrading of the current Jordan Road line with CEC's easement. For that
reason state and local land use ordinances have restricted CEC's use of its private property, its
easement, for Measure 37 purposes."
The claim is based generally on the applicable provisions of state law that limit the expansion of
non-conforming uses. ORS 215.130(5) and (9). The subject property includes three zones,
Exclusive Farm Use, Sisters/Cloverdale ( EFU SC), Surface Mining (SM), and Multiple Use
Agriculture (MUA 10).
According to the claimant, upgrade of the Jordan Road line, is limited or prohibited in all three
zones, and is therefore subject to the criteria for nonconforming uses under ORS 215.130.
Current land use regulations, particularly ORS 215.130(5) and (9), apply to the alteration of a
nonconforming use, as follows:
(5) The lawful use of any building, structure or land at the time of the enactment or
amendment of any zoning ordinance or regulation may be continued. Alteration of any
such use may be permitted subject to subsection (9) of this section. Alteration of any such
use shall be permitted when necessary to comply with any lawful requirement for
alteration in the use. Except as provided in ORS 215.215, a county shall not place
conditions upon the continuation or alteration of a use described under this subsection
when necessary to comply with state or local health or safety requirements, or to maintain
in good repair the existing structures associated with the use. A change of ownership or
occupancy shall be permitted.
(9) As used in this section, "alteration" of a nonconforming use includes:
(a) A change in the use of no greater adverse impact to the neighborhood; and
(b) A change in the structure or physical improvements of no greater adverse impact to
the neighborhood.
The claimant acquired the subject easements in 1962, prior to the adoption of the statewide
planning goals and their implementing statutes and regulations. The claimant has continuously
owned the right to main interest in the subject property since 1962, which predates the
November 15, 1972 effective date of PL-5, the county zoning ordinance, and the date when
ORS 215.130(5) and 215.130(9) were enacted.4
The claim includes evidence that the claimant has been denied a permit to alter a non-
conforming use under ORS.215.130 and corresponding provisions of the county's ordinances.
The Department notes that at least some portion of claimant's desired use may be allowed under
ORS 215.283 and corresponding provisions of Goal 3 and OAR 660-033. Nevertheless, the
Department concludes that the restrictions on alterations of a non-conforming use in
ORS 215.130(5) and (9) are applicable to the claimant's desired use.
It appears that ORS 215.130 became applicable to the claimant's use of the subject property on November 15,
1972 when Deschutes County adopted PL-5 and applied zoning to the subject property. ORS 215.130(9) was
enacted in 1979, and ORS 215.130(5) in 1977.
M#122394 - Central Electric Cooperative 5
Conclusions
The current criteria for the alteration of a nonconforming use established by ORS 215.130(5)
and (9), were enacted or adopted after the claimant acquired the rights to construct, operate and
maintain an electrical transmission line or system on August 10, 1962. This statute restricts the
claimant's desired use of its property - to upgrade the Jordan Road line.
This report addresses only those state laws that are identified in the claim, or that the department
is certain apply to the subject line and easement based on the use that the claimant has identified.
There may be other laws that currently apply to the claimant's use of the subject easement, and
that may continue to apply to the claimant's use of the easement, that have not been identified in
the claim. In some cases, it will not be possible to know which laws apply to a use of subject
easement until there is a specific proposal for that use. When the claimant seeks a building or
development permit to carry out a specific use, it may become evident that other state laws apply
to that use.
3. Effect of Regulations on Fair Market Value
In order to establish a valid claim, ORS 197.352(1) requires that the land use regulation(s)
(described in Section V.(2) of this report) must have "the effect of reducing the fair market value
of the property, or any interest therein."
FindinEs of Fact
The claim includes an estimate of $7,905,000 as the reduction in the subject easement's fair
market value due to the regulation(s). This amount is based on the cost to the claimant to bury
the 4.65-mile portion of the Jordon Road line of $2 million per mile, less the cost of the desired
above-ground modification of $300,000 per miles Nothing in ORS 215.130(5) or (9) requires
that the claimant bury the proposed transmission line upgrade. As a result, the Department
cannot conclude on that basis that the identified land use regulations have had the effect of
reducing the fair market value of the property. However, the Department notes that the effect of
ORS 215.130(5) and (9) is that CEC is unable to obtain approval of its desired use of the
property as an alteration of a non-conforming use. This would otherwise force CEC to seek
approval of its desired use under ORS 215.283(1)(d) or other provisions of 215.283. Doing so
would require the preparation of additional evidence and application to Deschutes County, which
would cost CEC some amount. As a result, there has been some additional cost and some
reduction in value as a result of the identified land use regulation.
Conclusions
As explained in Section V.(1) of this report, the claimant is Central Electric Cooperative who
acquired the subject easement in 1962. Under ORS 197.352, the claimant is due compensation
for land use regulations that restrict the use of the subject private easement and have the effect of
reducing its fair market value. Based on the findings and conclusions in Section V.(2) of this
report, laws enacted or adopted since the claimant acquired the subject easement restrict the
' According to the claim, the reduction is fair market value in the claimant's easement is attributed to ORS 215.130,
which requires that they excavate and bury their transmission-distribution line.
M#122394 - Central Electric Cooperative 6
claimant's desired use of the property. The claimant estimates that the effect of the rcgulation(s)
on the fair market value of the property is a reduction of $7,905,000.
Without an appraisal or other documentation and without verification of whether or the extent to
which the claimant's desired use of the subject property was allowed under the standards in
effect when the claimant acquired the property, it is not possible to substantiate the specific
dollar amount by which the land use regulations have reduced the fair market value of the
property. The Department specifically does not agree with the assumptions claimant has based
its estimate on. Nevertheless, based on the fact that some additional cost would be required of
CEC as a result of not being able to permit the proposed use as an alteration of a nonconforming
use, the department determines that it is more likely than not that the fair market value of the
subject easement has been reduced to some extent as a result of land use regulations enforced by
the Commission or the department.
4. Exemptions Under ORS 197 352(3)
ORS 197.352 does not apply to certain land use regulations. In addition, under ORS 197.352(3),
certain types of laws are exempt from ORS 197.352.
Findings of Fact
The claim is based on state land use regulations that restrict the use of the subject property,
including applicable provisions of ORS 215.130. This land use regulation was enacted or
adopted after the claimant acquired the subject rights to construct, operate and maintain an
electrical transmission or distribution system.
Conclusions
Without a specific development proposal for the subject property, it is not possible for the
department to determine all the laws that may apply to a particular use of the easement, or
whether those laws may fall under one or more of the exemptions under ORS 197.352. It
appears that none of the general statutory, goal and rule restrictions on upgrading the claimant's
transmission-distribution line were in effect when the claimant acquired it in 1962. As a result,
these laws are not exempt under ORS 197.352(3)(E).
Laws in effect when the claimant acquired the subject easement are exempt under
ORS 197.352(3)(E), and will continue to apply to the claimant's use of the easement. There may
be other laws that continue to apply to the claimant's use of the subject easement that have not
been identified in the claim. In some cases, it will not be possible to know which laws apply to a
use of subject easement until there is a specific proposal for that use. When the claimant seeks a
building or development permit to carry out a specific use, it may become evident that other state
laws apply to that use. In some cases, some of these laws may be exempt under
ORS 197.352(3)(A) to (D).
This report addresses only those state laws that are identified in the claim, or that the department
is certain apply to the subject easement based on the use that the claimant has identified.
Similarly, this report only addresses the exemptions provided for under ORS 197.352(3) that are
clearly applicable, given the information provided to the department in the claim. The claimant
M#122394 - Central Electric Cooperative 7
should be aware that the less.information it has provided to the department in the claim, the
greater the possibility that there may be additional laws that will later be determined to continue
to apply to its use of the subject easement.
VI. FORM OF RELIEF
ORS 197.352(1) provides for payment of compensation to an owner of private real property if
the Commission or the department has enforced a law that restricts the use of the subject
easement in a manner that reduces its fair market value. In lieu of compensation, the department
may choose to not apply the law in order to allow the present owner to carry out a use of the
subject property permitted at the time the present owner acquired the property. The
Commission, by rule, has directed that if the department determines a claim is valid, the Director
of the department must provide only non-monetary relief unless and until funds are appropriated
by the legislature to pay claims.
Findings of Fact
Based on the findings and conclusions set forth in this report, laws enforced by the Commission
or the department restrict the claimant's desired use of the subject property. The claim asserts
that existing state land use regulations enforced by the Commission or the department have the
effect of reducing the fair market value of the subject easement by $7,905,000. However,
because the claim does not provide an appraisal or other relevant evidence demonstrating that the
land use regulations described in Section V.(2) reduce the fair market value of the subject
property, a specific amount of compensation cannot be determined. Nevertheless, based on the
record for this claim, the department has determined that the laws on which the claim is based
likely have reduced the fair market value of the subject easement to some extent.
No funds have been appropriated at this time for the payment of claims. In lieu of payment of
compensation, ORS 197.352 authorizes the department to modify, remove or not apply all or
parts of certain land use regulations to allow Central Electric Cooperative to use the subject
easement for a use permitted at the time it acquired the easement on August 10, 1962.
Conclusions
Based on the record, the department recommends that the claim be approved, subject to the
following terms:
1. In lieu of compensation under ORS 197.352, the State of Oregon will not apply the following
law to Central Electric Cooperative's upgrade of its transmission-distribution line to the extent
that such upgrade is located within the area authorized under the easements contained in
Exhibit 1 to the claim, and to the extent that the upgrade is encompassed within the use
rights granted by those easements: ORS 215.130(5) and (9). This land use regulation will
not apply to the claimant only to the extent necessaryto allow it to use the area authorized
under the easements contained in Exhibit 1 to the claim to construct, operate and maintain a
115 kV transmission line and associated poles within such area, and only to the extent that use
was permitted when it acquired the easement on August 10, 1962.
M#122394 - Central Electric Cooperative 8
2. The action by the State of Oregon provides the state's authorization to the claimant to
use its property for the use described in this report, subject to the standards in effect on
August 10, 1962.
3. To the extent that any law, order, deed, agreement or other legally enforceable public or
private requirement provides that the subject easement may not be used without a permit, license
or other form of authorization or consent, the order will not authorize the use of the easement
unless the claimant first obtains that permit, license or other form of authorization or consent.
Such requirements may include, but are not limited to: a building permit, a land use decision, a
"permit" as defined in ORS 215.402 or 227.160, other permits or authorizations from local, state
or federal agencies and restrictions on the use of the subject easement imposed by private parties.
4. Any use of the subject property by the claimant under the terms of the order will remain
subject to the following laws: (a) those laws not specified in Condition I above; (b) any laws
enacted or enforced by a public entity other than the Commission or the department; and
(c) those laws not subject to ORS 197.352 including, without limitation, those laws exempted
under ORS 197.352(3).
5. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing terms and conditions, in order for the
claimant to use the subject property, it may be necessary for it to obtain a decision under
ORS 197.352 from a city and/or county and/or metropolitan service district that enforces land
use regulations applicable to the easement. Nothing in this order relieves the claimant from the
necessity of obtaining a decision under ORS 197.352 from a local public entity that has
jurisdiction to enforce a land use regulation applicable to a use of the subject easement by the
claimant.
VIL COMMENTS ON THE DRAFT REPORT
Comments on the draft report were submitted by the claimant and by several owners of property
affected by the claimant's desired use. These comments were considered by the department in
preparing this report.
