Next on the agenda was a Request for Waiver of Fees for Second Application, Moose Lodge in La Pine. Commissioner Paulson asked John Andersen to aske Bill Monroe to come into the office to address this issue. Mr. Monroe gave the Board the barest of facts--the lodge had applied for an application and asked that the fees be waived. The first application had been denied orally by the hearings officer and recommended that the lodge go to the planning department to start appeal procedures if they so wished to do so. For this second application, Commissioner Paulson moved that on the basis that this second application is for a new site that the LaPine Moose Lodge be granted a waiver of fees. Commissioner Young seconded the motion. Commissioner Paulson asked if the zone was such that such a premises could legally be built. It was affirmed that the zone was such. Chairman Shepard wanted to go over the facts of the matter. It was discussed further. Chairman Shepard suggested that further action not be taken until more facts are known. The vote was as follows: Commissioner Young--aye. Commissioner Paulson--aye. Chairman Shepard--no. Motion carried. John Andersen was next on the agenda with a discussion regarding zoning maps. Mr. Andersen told the Board that he was in the process of getting the zoning maps ready for the upcoming hearing and making the changes that the Board has ordered the Planning Department to make. Mr. Andersen said that he would probably be done Monday, October 8, 1979 with the maps. Mr. Andersen said that an issuerhad come up which he needed direction from the Board. Mr. Andersen rolled out a zoning map and proceeded to show the commissioners his problem. Mr. Andersen pointed out a surface mining operation and a High Desert Museum site elsewhere but close together; generally this land is not of good timber capability, so they want it zoned rural residential rather than forest land. Mr. Andersen said that there was a policy issue at hand. All the way down past High Desert Museum there is a lack of capabilities of the land to produce good timber but which is zoned forest(F-2). Commissioner Paulson moved that the Board have.the zoning on the portion of land south of the Urban Boundary and east of Highway 97 be either zoned RR-10 or MUA-10 whichever is appropriate. Chairman Shepard seconded the motion. Commissioner Young asked if this decision was tentative. Mr. Andersen assured him that it was. The vote went as follows: Commissioner Young--aye. Commissioner Paulson--aye. Chairman Shepard--aye. Motion carried. Mr. Andersen brought up the matter of some property out on Arnold Market Road. It was recommended by Commissioner Paulson that discussion of this matter should be referenced to in the minutes. Commissioner Paulson said his feelings on the matter is that that land should stay the way that it is now, unless someone else brings it up. This land lays south of Arnold Market Road and south of the Knox Pit Landfill. Next on the agenda was a discussion regarding Bill Borden of LaPine and his wrecking yard. Mr. Borden wants to legalize his place of business so that he won't-be hasseled by anyone anymore. There was much discussion. Mr. Borden's wrecking yard has been in the same place for thirty years and has always been a yard. He recently bought it three years ago and wants to be able to work within .y ` S the law and make a profit as does any businessman. Dick, from Planning told the Commissioners that in order for Mr. Borden to get a license for his wrecking yard from the State, the commissioners must sign his application. The problem is that the property that the wrecking yard is on is not zoned for commercial businesses. It was finally decided that the business had a non-conforming use privilege as it had never been anything else for thirty years other than a wrecking yard. Commissioner Paulson moved that based on the June 8, 1979 affidavit from Mr. Hansen(previous owner of the wrecking yard) that this use be allowed to remain as a non-conforming use "since it has been there for 30 years and that the Board should approve Mr. Borden's application.
