BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
MARCH 11, 1980 - DAILY MINUTES
Chairman Young called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. with all three com-
missioners present.
The first item on the agenda for today was a zone change appeal - Steve Hagan
Z79-13. Chairman Young read a previous letter from Bob Lovlien who is repre-
senting Mr. Hagan that stated he would not be present on the day that the hearing
was being held. It was set aside as it did not pertain to today's meeting.
Chairman Young asked Mr. Lovlien to state his case as he did not have any information
regarding it. Mr. Lovlien stated that this case was coming before the Board on
appeal from the Hearings Officer and the Planning Commission. Mr. Lovlien thought
that this case was unique in its way because the father in this case had purchased
a parcel of land in the LaPine area and now wants to split it between his children.
The Willers who are neighbors bought their land at the same time. The two
families are very close and have given their children the deed to the remaining
five acre parcel. Mr. Lovlien stated that this was zoned AlT for five acre
holding zone and they want it to be zoned to RRl because the lots will be smaller.
Each lot will be about 1.83 acres instead of five per lot. Mr. Lovlien thought
that it was nice to have a family compound put together and stay together.
Mr. Lovlien stated that there was a letter from John Hagan (father) in the file that
the commissioners should review. There was further discussion.
Chairman Young asked the other commissioners if they wanted to set a time for
their decision. Commissioner Paulson suggested two weeks from today would be
a good time as the commission had budget matters to contend with. It was the
concensus of the Board that March 25, 1980 was set as the date that a decision
would be made on this appeal.
Next on the agenda was a hearing regarding the C.W. Reeve land trade with the
County. Chairman Young asked if anyone present challenged the Board's right
to hear this matter with regard to procedures set out in PL-9. There was no
one who wanted to challenge that right so Chairman Young outlined the procedures
that the hearing would, follow: there would be 15 minutes for those in favor
of the trade and 15 minutes for those opposed to the trade, and 10 minutes for
rebuttal time for each side. Mr. Dan Van Vactor was representing Mr. Reeve who
was present and Mr. Paul Speck was present representing Mr. Floyd Welch who was
not present. Mr. Van Vactor gave a brief history of the case and then wanted
to turn it over to Mr. Speck. Mr. Van Vactor stated that Mr. Nichols from DEQ
was present, Mr. John Glover county sanitarian and Jay Langley, sanitarian were
also present. Mr. Van Vactor stated that he would not use the full 15 minutes
but would reserve some of his time for rebuttal. Chairman Young agreed.
It was time for those opposed to present their case. Mrs. Lois Wills presented
quite a case and gave the commissioners a number of exhibits for the record
with regard to allowing sewage lines in that area and specifics on rules and
regulations. Mrs. Wills showed the commission pictures taken by Mr. James Turn-
wall who was present showing what the land in question looks like without water
on top of it and what it looks like with water on it. There was some confusion
regarding the rules of the hearing; Mrs. Wills had taken the full 15 minutes with
the thought that each person who spoke would get 15 minutes rather than all of
them in opposition. Chairman Young allowed more time with the approval of Mr.
Van Vactor and Mr. Speck for the opposition to have more time. Mr. James Turnwall
presented some facts with regard to the appraisal of the land. At one time it
is appraised at a very low figure and then it is appraised at a very high figure
and he wanted some explanation. Mr. Tony Wills had a petition from the surrounding
neighbors asking that the commission not approve this land trade. That was
submitted for evidence. Chairman Young approved the raising of time for rebuttal
1
i - I,--
because at the time that he set out the rules for this hearing, he did not realize
that there were so many people present with regard to this matter. Mr. Van Vactor
wanted to clarify that the point of rebuttal was not to present new evidence but
was to rebutt what Mr. Van Vactor might say. Chairman Young agreed. Mr. Van Vactor
asked to look at Mr. Turnwall's pictures. They were discussed. Mr. Van Vactor
asked Mr. Glover and Mr. Langley and Mr. Nichols for their input for rebuttal on this
issue. There was further discussion. Mr. Van Vactor asked Mr. Bob Fischer, property
appraiser, to explain his appraisal which he did. Mrs. Wills was given a chance
for rebuttal and asked Mr. Glover numerous questions about the uniform plumbing code
and sewer lines and etc. Mr. Wills and Mr. Turnwall had some input. Chairman
Young stated that the hearing was now closed and asked the other commission members
what their wish was to do. Commissioner Paulson felt that time was needed to
review the file and a date should be set for a decision. Mr. Van Vactor stated that
if he received a letter of decision, that would be fine with him. It was the
concensus of the Board to give decision on Tuesday, March 25, 1980.
The next item on the agenda was the report on the formation of a Citizen Advisory
Group on Effluent Sewage - Messrs. Corwin and Priday. Mr. Corwin gave a progress
report on the this matter. Mr. Corwin stated that the suggestion of the formation
of a citizens group has been taken to the Bend City Commission for the first
reading and was included in the minutes of the hearing for the acceptance of the
proposal to put in a 160 acre pond to hold the effluent. Mr. Corwin has been con-
tacted by a group of farmers in the Powell Butte area that have been working a
year and a half with the city who are trying to get water rights to raise alfalfa to
trade some of their land for BLM land. These farmers are very interested in the
effluent disposal. Mr. Corwin said that 6,000,000 gallons a day will be generated
as figures by the city. Commissioner Shepard stated that he thought it was the
general concensus of the board that this should be done as quickly as possible.
Commissioner Shepard asked Mr. Corwin what it was in short what it was that he
wanted the commission to do. Mr. Corwin would want the county to approve this for-
mation and would like to see three county members to be appointed by the county.
Commissioner Shepard stated that maybe the county should contact the city and see
what their thinking is on this matter and is sure that there would not be any
opposition and would think that the board should inform Mr. Corwin to proceed.
Mr. Corwin stated that he would like the members to be appointed as follows: 3
by the county, 3 by the city and 1 by the six members.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved that upon the discussion and approval
with the city that the Board appoint a committee to look into
the sewage proposal concerns of the Bend Sewage Treatment and
that committee be composed of three people appointed by the county
commissioners, three people appointed by the city commissioners
and one person appointed by that joint body of six for a total
of seven on the committee and that the membership reflect people
that have shown interest in the past and preferably including
some people from the various groups who might be interested in
using the water.

doesn't know why. Mr. Buck stated that he was not at the hearing because he had
not been notified and would have shown up if he had been notified. It was decided
that Mr. Buck should get together with Louis Dvorak and discuss this matter
further and Mr. Dvorak will report back to the Board.

Charlie Plummer discussed with the Board a point of information. Three years ago
the Road department made an application to build Knott Road, Ferguson to Tekampe.
At that time there was $215,000 in Federal Aid funds available for.that project,
the county has not received the money so the Feds put the county on a number 1 deal,
but inthree years the cost of paving has gone up substantially and they will
only match $215,000, so the county will have to put up $215,000 plus $38,000
matching on the whole thing or ask the State to just let a contract on one phase of
it and the county pick up some work by forest account which would make the county's
share. Mr. Plummer stated that he has worked this out with Mr. Hagadorne and
this is agreeable. Mr. Plummer stated that he had discussed this briefly with
3
Commissioner Shepard. Chairman Young asked Mr. Plummer what he wanted from the
Board. Mr. Plummer stated that he would like to have permission to at least go
ahead and have the State let the contract go for grading and clearing and get the
job underway and have the bridge deck on and then allow the county road department
to do the rest of the work rather than come up with the matching funds because
there aren't any funds. Commissioner Shepard asked Mr. Plummer if he was asking
the Board to make some kind of commitment for service. Mr. Plummer said yes.
Mr. Plummer stated that if the Board would approve getting this project off the
ground, the State will go ahead and run a bid through and get the contractor
working on the project. Mr. Plummer stated that the bid could be matched ($215,000)
but that was it. Commissioner Shepard said he was for and Mr. Plummer stated
that if the county didn't grab it now, the money would go into some other fund.
The commissioners asked Mr. Plummer to write up a memo authorizing him to get
the ball rolling and get a contract out.
Commissioner Shepard stated that he had another matter that he needed to discuss
with Mr. Plummer regarding bancrofting.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER SHEPARD moved that the Board authorize the Road
Department to bancroft the following local improvement dis-
tricts: Highland Estates, Chapparall, Rimrock West.
COMMISSIONER YOUNG: Second.
VOTE COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye.
COMMISSIONER YOUNG: Aye.
Mr. Plummer stated that he needed authorization in writing to proceed with
bonding of the bancrofts for the above-mentioned local improvement districts.
Commissioner Shepard asked Jo-Marie Bonwell, secretary, to write a letter
to Howard Rankin and to the State.
Chairman Young said that next item that needed attention today was an order
removing the mylar of the Bend Urban Area Map in the clerk's office with
a paper copy. Chairman Young stated that he would rather have Bob and Clay
do this but as Bob was not present, he he said he would sign it. Chairman
Young read the order.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER SHEPARD.moved to approve the order.
COMMISSIONER YOUNG: Second.
VOTE . COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Aye.
COMMISSIONER YOUNG: Aye.
