BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
August 30, 1979 - DAILY MINUTES
Chairman Shepard opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. with all Commissioners present.
The first matter on the agenda was Electric Motor & Supply Company landscaping
violations, regarding Site Plan 47892. The plan was approved July 11, 1978,
and nothing has been done as far as landscaping and paving. There is a bond on the
site plan. Commissioner Young moved that we allow another forty-five days from
this date for compliance with the plan or the County will exercise the bond. Com-
missioner Paulson seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye. Commissioner Young
voted aye. Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Next was Site Plan 478-33, Awful Brothers - Landscaping Violations. Mr. Copenhaver
was advised on April 11 of an official thirty-day notice to complete site plan com-
pliance. It has not been accomplished. Mr. Copenhaver explained there is no prob-
lem - that it will be done right away, and that it has been started this morning.
Commissioner Young moved that Mr. Copenhaver be allowed to finish the project in
twenty days from this date, and if it is not done in twenty days, the agreement
will be enforced. Chairman Shepard seconded it. It is the same plan that was
approved, but it is reduced by 2/3 by the Highway Department. Commissioner Paulson
suggested that Bruce Knowlton (Planning Department) sit down with Mr. Copenhaver
and discuss what he plans to do. Commissioner Young voted aye. Commissioner
Paulson voted aye. Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Next on the agenda was the Comprehensive Plan, presented by Brian and John of the
Planning Department. They came to discuss the exceptions statements they are pre-
paring. To explain an exception statement - if a county isn't going to be able to
meet stringent requirements of the LCDC goals, you have to identify to LCDC
those lands which are not going to meet the requirements of those goals and to
explain why the county is not going to be able to meet the requirements of those
goals on those particular lands. They hope to have their document ready for public
review September S. The reason the exception process was first established was so
you could justify areas outside of urban areas that you might need for something
else. You are able to identify lands that are committed and those lands, then,
can be excepted from the goal. They have to make a determination as to which
areas will and which areas won't be committed to development. If it is not com-
mitted, they will put an exclusive farm use zone on it. If it is committed, they
will zone it for rural residential or multiple use agricultural. There will be
a public hearing on September 10. Commissioner Paulson moved that we proceed as
recommended by the Planning Staff in areas predominantly committed, meaning with
houses currently on them, and '-where 320 acres or more are platted in small
parcels,:they be given MUA status, all the other asindicated by the staff "today. be given
an EFU status with whatever appropriate acreage minimum is. Chairman Shepard
seconded the motion. Commissioner Young expressed unhappiness with the plan.
Commissioner Young sees a trend to possibly even take some of this area that is
already committed and try to change the commitment on it. The acreages are too
large so that nobody can afford them. Chairman Shepard said he is not totally
satisfied with it either. He would have trouble putting it together in a way that
would improve it. He asked Commissioner Young what he would do to improve the plan.
Commissioner Young explained that he is for the individual who owns his land being
able to use his land as he sees fit as long as he doesn't interfere with his neigh-
bor. He doesn't feel that we need socialism in this country - he is opposed to it.

He feels individual rights are no longer considered. Commissioner Paulson sug-
gested that the bottom line of what Commissioner Young was saying is to have no
planning at all. Commissioner Young denied that. Commissioner Young wants a
plan that complies with Goal #1 and Goal #10 (citizen involvement And housing,-which
he feels have been ignored; and affordable housing, which he feels has been basically
ignored because the other two Commissioners have repeatedly asked for review on
projects that would provide affordable housing). Commissioner Paulson made a
comment on Goals 1 and 10. He explained that we have had a lot of input from
citizens and the difficulty is that there are three different sides - those that
want a tremendous amount of planning, those that are in the middle and those that
don't want any at all. He feels the difficult part is deciding how to compromise.
He says we are listening to them and have been for a long time. In terms of af-
fordable housing, you'll never have housing ten miles out of town that is cheaper than
the housing in town. He went on to say, if we want affordable housing, we do follow
Goal 10 and we do as LCDC says and we concentrate on urban areas, which is what we
are attempting to do. Commissioner Paulson voted aye. Commissioner Young voted
no and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Lou Dvorak explained to the Board that he may have advised the Board wrongly about
Mountain High. Mr. Lovlien (representing J. L. Ward) called him yesterday and sent
him a note that stated he had been reviewing the tapes of the July 11 meeting re-
garding the reserve strips, and he took exception to Lou's comment that J. L. Ward
Construction had allowed their first plats of Mountain High and Mountain High First
Edition to expire in order to avoid building Sunnyside Boulevard. He wanted to set
the record straight that he had no idea why they let their first platsexpire, and
any statement he made to that effect was pure speculation. He presented a letter
dated today to Mr. Lovlien explaining this matter.
Next was an appeal filed by mistake. #12709, Gaines Eddy, Sizemore Road, Bend,
Oregon. Reason for refund, $100 appeal filed by mistake.
Receipt 414815, $50. Ellison Smith decided to place single wide mobile home in-
stead of double wide, therefore need to obtain a new permit.
Refund of taxes. Commissioner Shepard read the order. Helen Ras.tovich, tax col-
lector for Delbert R. Turner, 61785 Ten.barr Road, Bend, Oregon 97701. An acreage
change was made decreasing the value, thus creating an overpay. Refund amount -
$102.25. Commissioner Young moved that we approve the order. Commissioner Paulson
seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye. Commissioner Young voted aye. Chair-
man Shepard voted aye.
Commissioner Paulson brought up two meetings. One, district meeting of, AOC at
Lakeview on the 20th of September. Nov. 14-16 State AOC Meeting.
Lou Dvorak read a letter he prepared to send to R. Rogerson, re. Redmond Auto
Wrecking Yard, informing him of the Board's decisions in his case. He suggested
that he arrange with the Planning Department to get site plan approval for his
wrecking yard as soon as the zoning is changed. The letter was approved and signed.

Phil Paschke received a partition from the County Surveyor which he had al-
ready signed before it had been approved. Lou Dvorak explained that if a County
Surveyor, in his private capacity, does a subdivision plot, he is required to send
it to the County Surveyor of another county to be checked. Lou suggested that when
he presents his expense listings required by a letter from the Board yesterday,
the expenses be audited.

the Board regarding plat checking fees. Commissioner Paulson moved to sign the
