MAY 12, 1981 - REGULAR MEETING
Chairman Paulson called the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m. Commissioner
Shepard and Commissioner Young were also in attendance.
Amendments to Chairman Paulson said that there would be one amendment
the Agenda to the Agenda, Consideration of the letter received
from Carol Bruno, President of Resort Bus Lines. The
Board briefly discussed this item, in which it is requested
that the Board approve a schedule change in which the
Bend-Sunriver-LaPine service would be incorporated with
the Chemult service.
MOTION: SHEPARD moved to amend the agenda to include
Resort Bus Lines.
YOUNG: Second.
VOTE: PAULSON: AYE.
SHEPARD: AYE.
YOUNG: AYE.

May 11, 1981.

Public Hear- Dick Knoll, Planning Department, came before the Board
ing to Con-
to explain this briefly. The requested zone change is
sider Z-81-1
from R-2 to R-3 Limited Residential. He said that the
and PL-81-1
most significant result of this change would be to allow
for Larkspur
greater housing density. This is within the Redmond Urban
Homes
Growth Boundary. He showed the location of the parcel on
a map. It is adjacent to other R-3 land. He said that
this had been before the Redmond Urban Area Planning(.!
Commission, as a public hearing and they unanimously
decided to approve this because of the similarity of
that land in terms of its character to that land already
zoned R-3. The reason it was originally zoned R-2 was
because the butte located close by was zoned R-2 because
of its topography. This land was also encompassed in
that land zoned R-2. Actually, this parcel is more like
that land zoned R-3, which is why the Redmond Urban Area
Planning Commission approved the zone change.
Chairman Paulson explained that the public hearing was
open and that Mr. Knoll's comments are to be included
in the hearing. There was some further discussion of
the matter. Mr. Knoll said that one other related item
the Board should be aware of was that there are some
problems in the area with water pressure. The State
recommends at least a static water pressure of 20 pounds
per square inch. Presently the water pressure is at
or below that level. If there is a housing development
they should provide an interim system for improving the
water pressure. Howard Krause briefly explained this.
He explained that the reason for the water pressure prob-
lem was that this was near the water treatment plant which

May 12, 1981 Regular Meeting
operates on a gravity flow basis. The water plant is
not high enough above this area to afford sufficient
pressure. He said that they are planning to place a
bond proposal on the ballot for construction of a reser-
voir in this area to provide sufficient pressure to meet
the needs of the area. There was some further minor
discussion.
MOTION: YOUNG moved to approve Z-81-1 and PA-81-1 and
adopt the findings of the Redmond Urban Area
Planning Commission on Z-81-1 and PA-81-1 and
their conditions of approval.
SHEPARD: Second.
Commissioner Young said that although he does not
approve of the formation of the Redmond Urban Area
Planning Commission he will not use that as a means of
preventing development in areas.
VOTE: PAULSON: AYE.
SHEPARD: AYE.
YOUNG: AYE.
Presentation Betsy Shay, Planning Department, reported on a project
on the Bend that the County is involved with in which problems with
Road Renaming present road names are being addressed and remedied.
Project The Post Office and various emergency service departments
have had problems with locating addresses because of the
lack of organization in naming roads. This group has
gotten together with the County Road Department and other
affected agencies to find the roads that are causing the
most problems. They have come up with a list of about
30 similar sounding names. They are evaluating these
now. They want to evaluate the County roads in a phased
manner, and hold public hearings to incorporate public
input to come up with new names for the roads. She said
that they want to begin with streets in the Bend area.
They met last night and decided on a hearing date before
the Bend Urban Area Planning Commission. The will contact
affected property owners. After the Bend Urban Area Plan-
ning Commission hears these, they will come before the
Board of Commissioners. Commissioner Young expressed
concern about the attitude of the Bend Urban Area Planning
Commission. He read in the minutes that they did not want
to be bogged down with public input. He felt that their
attitude seemed to be to leave the public out as much as
possible. Ms. Shay explained that this is not their ap-
proach, they will ask for staff comments as well as rely
on public comments. There was some further discussion
on this.
Rick Isham, County Counsel, said that under ORS 215.110
and 227.120 County roads that lie within the City fall
under the exclusive jurisdiction of the County for re-
naming purposes. Chairman Paulson noted that the new
road names will not be adopted until January of 1982.
This will allow those affected Sufficient.time to send
out change of address notification. Mr. Isham explained
that the Board could adopt a Special Ordinance or a
Page 2 of 4
Deschutes County Board of Commissioners
May 12, 1981 - Regular Meeting
General Ordinance. A Special Ordinance would rename
streets, whereas a General Ordinance would set up a
procedure for renaming streets.
Ms. Shay said that the Bend Urban Area Planning Commis-
sion will hear this on the first of June and they expect
it to have several hearings. She hopes that it will be
before the Board by the end of July.
Award of Neil Hudson, Director of Public Works, explained this.
Alarm System He noted that there was a substantial spread between the
bids high and low bids. He consulted the alarm system manufac-
turer and was told that the job could be done for approx-
imately $20,000 to $25,000. The low bid was in the
amount of $20,715 by ADT Security Systems. He check into
references for this firm and found them to be reputable.
The highest bid was in the amount of $75,000. Mr. Hudson
said that it was his recommendation that the Board accept
ADT Security Systems' bid. Mr. Isham explained that he
had reviewed the contracts submitted by this firm and
had found some language that may have allowed them to
variate from the bid specifications, so Mr. Isham had
added a provision reacknowledging the specifications.
Their signatures will have to be reacknowledged as a result
of that addition. There was some discussion on the alarm
system itself. Mr. Hudson explained that it had been
decided to install a microwave beam system.
MOTION: YOUNG moved that they approve the contract to
ADT Security Systems and authorize Neil Hudson
to sign the contracts for the amount of $20,715.
SHEPARD: Second.
VOTE: PAULSON: AYE.
SHEPARD: AYE.
YOUNG: AYE.
For Signature: MOTION: YOUNG moved to approve orders #81-240 through
Refund of Tax 81-249 for the refund of taxes.
Orders #81-240 SHEPARD: Second.
-#81-259. VOTE: PAULSON: AYE.
SHEPARD: AYE.
YOUNG: AYE.
Declaration Neil Hudson explained this. He said that property owners
of Dedication who owned lots overlooking the Deschutes River did not
on River Bend have sufficient space to construct a septic tank drainfield
Drive on their property. They felt that if River Bend Drive
(soon to be constructed under an LID) were to be constructed
farther over, that would allow sufficient space for them
to construct their drainfields. They arranged for this
declaration of dedication so that the road could be con-
stucted there, in the hope that the current easement would
be vacated, allowing them a larger lot size.
MOTION: YOUNG moved to accept the declaration of ded-
ication.
Mr. Isham said that there is no guarantee that the County
will vacate the existing roadway. If it is not vacated,
it will not help them on their setbacks at all. Mr.

Hudson explained that he had made the people involved
aware of this, but they were willing to take this
gamble, because if the road were to be constructed as
originally planned, there would be no way they could
change it. They have not requested a vacation at this
point, however, but it is expected that they will.
Commissioner Shepard suggested that Mr. Hudson send a
letter indicating this to those involved, to prevent
any misunderstandings in the future. He felt that it
was important that there be something to this effect
in writing.
SHEPARD: Second.
VOTE: PAULSON: AYE.
SHEPARD: AYE.
YOUNG: AYE.
Chairman Paulson read aloud the names appearing on the
declaration of dedications. They were: Donald L. and
Aileen V. Grosh, C. Ward and N. Lois Slover, Anthony C.-
and Robin R. Dennison-Steinhauser.
Being no further business, the meeting was adjourned and the Board re-
convened as the Seventh Mountain County Service District.
