SEPTEMBER 16, 1980 - REGULAR MEETING
Chairman Young called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. with all three
-commissioners present.
The first item on the agenda was a discussion with LaMoine Brant and Gale
Powell regarding a zoning problem. The original permit was a building permit
for a commercially zoned area prior to November 1, 1979. When application was
first made, the Planning Department asked Mr. Brant to submit a site plan
application and pay the fee accordingly. After submitting this plan, it was
related to Mr. Brant that the site plan was not necessary for this permit and
his fee was later refunded. Because Mr. Brant was waiting on the site plan,
he did not pay his building fees and did not begin construction, and when
he-submitted his permit application for final approval, on November 1, 1979,
the zone was changed. The discussion focused on what the effective filing date
is on a building permit.. Gale Powell stated that because the site plan was
submitted, Mr. Brant was detained from beginning his building before the expir-
ation date. Bruce Knowlten stated that the site plan application did not
necessarily have to restrict Mr. Brant from beginning construction. Commissioner
Paulson commented that the filing date on a-building permit is when the permit
number is'signed and the fees are paid. Mr. Brant has not yet obtained a
permit number or paid his fees.. Mr. Gale Powell stated that the fee paid to
submit a site plan, which was not even necessary, was more than enough to cover
the cost of the building permit, and that according to a letter received from
former county counsel, Jill Thompson, the application was filed appropriately.
Rick Isham, County Counsel, related to the Board that their options were to
decide if the application was timely or not timely and act accordingly.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER SHEPARD moved that the Rick Isham be asked to prepare
an Order favoring the applicant, Mr. Brant, stating.that his
application was timely.
CHAIRMAN`YOUNG Second.
VOTE COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: AYE.
COMMISSIONER PAULSON: NO.
CHAIRMAN YOUNG: AYE.
The second item on the agenda was a request for exemption of the effective
date for PP#608, Buckhorn Subdivision. Dave Jaqua was present to represent
this request. Dave stated that Buckhorn is the only rural subdivision that
will be affected by the zone change'if the Board approves it. The subdivision
effective date is the date that it is approved. The hearing is scheduled for
September 23, 1980, which may be after the proposed zone change: If the zone
is changed, the application will not be valid. Chairman Young stated that
noone can determine the outcome of a Board decision before the actual decision.
Commissioner Paulson feels that if the Board were to approve the request it
would be rescinding a previous Order approved by the Board. Rick Isham stated
that an exception could be made to an Order which would not necessarily rescind
a previous. Order.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved to deny the request from Dave Jaqua's
letter dated September 5, 1980 regarding exemption from the effective
date for PP#608.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Second.
VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: AYE.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: AYE.
CHAIRMAN YOUNG: NO.
The next item on the agenda was in regards to recommendations from the Land'
Use Compensation Committee. Leroy Newport, Chairman, read through the
recommendations of the Land Use Committee. Commissioner Paulson related that
the Board wanted to thank the members of the committee for the work they have
done. Commissioner Paulson also stated that the majority of the people in the
county feel they should be compensated for the losses they incur due to down-
zoning. Leroy Newport requested that the committee be disbanded until the
committee is needed further.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved to accept the report from the compensation
committee and to accept their suggestion to disband the committee
until the county needs their services in the future.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: Second.
VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: AYE.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: AYE.
CHAIRMAN YOUNG: AYE.
Chairman Young recommended that a letter be sent to each member of the committee.
The next item on the agenda was in regards to a power hookup in-:the Saddleback
area, Mr. Don Ring;, applicant, needs power lines to an-.area just south of
the Saddleback subdivision. He has made application with Central Electric
Co-op to have lines put in either underground or overhead. Mr. Ring stated
that he did not care how the lines were put in as long as he got them. Bruce,
a representative from Central Electric Co-op stated that it would be much more
costly per month for the underground wires and would also be costly in terms of
the excavation to prepare for the-,wiring. He stated that it would be most
economic to go overhead with the wires. John DeMarco, a resident and homeowner
in the Saddleback Subdivision, stated that he thought the lines could come in
from the south instead of the north because it is closer from the south. Mr.
Ring replied that the property is set up to be serviced by CEC and that if it
comes from the south, it would have to be put in by PP&L. Mr. DeMarco stated
that he did not want any power lines going in front of his property. The
Saddleback Subdivision has all underground lines and he felt it would de-value
the property to have overhead lines. Mr. DeMarco stated that he would be glad
to give Mr. Ring a donation toward the underground lines for his property as
long as he did not put in overhead lines. There is a possibility that Mr. Ring
could share the costs of underground wiring if other property adjacent and
close to his, but outside the Saddleback Subdivision, is purchased. Mr. Rick
Little, President of the Homeowners Association, stated that the area along
Johnson Road in the Saddleback area is designated as Management Scenic Area.
Mr. Robert Young stated that there are nine lots that the power poles would
cross if it were to go overhead, and stated that each lot owner does not want
to see this happen. Mr. Patrick Moses stated that he is very much against
having overhead poles put in. Mr. Bruce Valentine owns property behind Mr.
Ring's and does not want to see power poles put up in the subdivision. Mr.
Neil Hudson of the Public Works Department stated that it would probably not
be to costly for the underground work, as there will be others purchasing
property in the area in the near future. Commissioner Paulson stated that
since the property is designated as Management Scenic Area that there should
not be any power poles put in, as all other land in that area has underground
lines.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER PAULSON moved that the Board require any utilities
in the vicinity discussed along Johnson Road be underground.
CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Second.
VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: AYE.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: AYE.
CHAIRMAN YOUNG: AYE.
The next item on the agenda was presented by Neil Hudson. This was on the
matter of the reclassification of Bill Coffman to Civil Engineer/Deputy County
Surveyor. Bill is licensed as a land surveyor. Rick Isham stated that the
Deputy Surveyor should be appointed by the County Surveyor. Neil stated that
he would adjust the title to read Civil Enginner/Surveyor until he may be
appointed.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER SHEPARD moved to accept the Director of Public Works
recommendations dated September 10, 1980 in regards to the reclass-
ification of Bill Coffman to Civil Engineer/Land Surveyor with the
correction of the title.
CHAIRMAN YOUNG: Second.
VOTE COMMISSIONER PAULSON: AYE.
COMMISSIONER SHEPARD: AYE.
CHAIRMAN YOUNG: AYE.
Another item discussed with Neil Hudson was in regards to criteria establishing
county roads. Neil discussed criteria in regards to county road maintenance
and determination for accepting road into the county. Commissioner Paulson
suggested that Neil draft an order for the Board to sign stating what criteria
will be used to designate maintenance of county roads.
Commissioner Shepard mentioned that the Board of Directors for Howell Hilltop
Acres is now preparing a ballot measure for the November election. They have
asked if the county will front the money for the election to them. Mr. Marvin
Young had contacted the County and stated that the County had agreed some time
ago that they would front Howell Hilltop Acres the money. Chairman Young
stated that he was in favor of helping them if possible.
Chairman Young presented to the Board a Declaration of Dedication from Chester
and Virginia Bradley to transfer some property which the VA requires before
the loan can be obtained by the Bradleys.. Neil Hudson has not reviewed this
declaration as yet.. Neil will review and bring to the Board next week.
Mike Maier presented to the Board a schedule of events relating to the Health
Department reorganization. Mike stated that he would like to get a review
committee together to help with the reconstruction of the Health Department.
Chairman Young stated that Mike should proceed in this reorganization.
Chairman Young read a Resolution in Support of proposed Sewerage Development
Program for the City of Sisters with HGE, Inc.
MOTION: COMMISSIONER SHEPARD moved to approve the Resolution.
COMMISSIONER PAULSON: Second.
