Dick Knoll, Associate Planner, explained the background
of this appeal. The appeal was filed by the South Heights
Neighborhood Association.
Michael J. Davis, 3562 SW 34th St., Redmond, came forward.
He is President of theSouth Heights Neighborhood Assoc-
iation. He said that after review of the tapes of the
hearing before the Redmond Urban Area Planning Commission,
it was found that they were extremely garbled and some-
times inaudible. They would like to request a de novo
hearing to save the potential arguments of whether or
not evidence was previously submitted, which would be
difficult to ascertain with the poor condition of the
tapes. He said that they also feel that they may need
to introduce more evidence.
Dave Jaqua, representing Cal/Oregon Broadcasting, said
'that this was the first time they had heard that the
tapes were the grounds for the request for the de novo
heairng. He then gave a chronology of the radio tower
project. He concluded by saying that he felt that the
record at this point was more than adequate.
Dan Van Vactor, also representing the applicant, intro-
duced Donald Smullen, President of Cal/Oregon Broadcasting.
Mr. VanVactor asked at what point they will stand by the
decision made in the quasi-judicial process, and at what
point do they want to keep it going. He felt that it
was time to let the record stand. He felt that everything
that could come into the record had been submitted. He
said that the Gelwin Corporation had paid the fee for
this appeal and that there was more than just the neigh-
borhood association involved in this appeal action.

Martha Elliot, South Heights, Redmond, came forward.
She said that they had obtained the tapes after they
had filed the appeal and said that they were bad.
Jean Quackenbush, 32nd Street, Redmond, came forward.
She said that when the Redmond Urban Area Planning Com-
mission handed down their decision, there were only five
members present and there was a three to two vote in
favor of the applicant.
At this time Chairman Paulson closed the discussion of
this hearing request. There was some further minor dis-
cussion by the Board. Mr. Davis asked that the hearing
be extended until sometime in August because some of
their key witnesses will be out of town until then.
MOTION: PAULSON moved to deny the request for an ex-
tension.
YOUNG: Second.
VOTE: PAULSON: AYE.
SHEPARD: AYE.
YOUNG: AYE.
It was the concensus of the Board to hold the hearing
on July 21, 1981.
Discussion re- Dave Jaqua, representing the developer, came before the
garding an ex- Board. He said that one of these parcels had been sold
tension for to the Lights and they had had to vacate the property.
the Canyon They want to get this settled so that they can take pos-
Ranch Estates session of the property. Mr. Jaqua then went over the
Subdivision history of this plat. He said that all the signatures
are on the plat now. The owner had had problems as the
result of turning the matter over to an engineer for
processing,. but found out shortly before the deadline
date that the engineer had not processed it. The owner
has paid the deferred farm use taxes. The problem had
come up when the sanitation feasibility took five months
to complete, which is unusual.
MOTION: YOUNG moved that the Board approve the plat
based on the signature of the Hearings Officer
and the Planning Director.
SHEPARD: Second.
Chairman Paulson said that it was his feeling that the
applicant applied for the sanitation approval to late
for the staff to complete the work, therefore he does
not think it appropriate for the Board to approve this
because the conditions were not met. The applicant had
applied for sanitation approval one week before the dead-
line date.
VOTE: PAULSON: NO.
SHEPARD: AYE.
YOUNG: AYE.

Discussion re- The Board had received a memo on this subject from
garding Legis- John Andersen, Planning Director, dated June 30, 1981.
lative Amend- Chairman Paulson read this memo aloud. This proposed
ments that legislative amendments be adopted only in November
of each year. Chairman Paulson expressed his approval
of this suggestion. There was some general discussion
on this. Mr. Andersen went on to suggest that quasi-
judicial zone changes and plan amendments could be heard
twice per year. He went on to clarify plan amendments
as those that require an amendment to the plan map.
These could be heard. in November and June of each year.
MOTION: PAULSON moved that the Board set policy whereby
whereby legislative amendments to the compre-
hensive plan and ordinances would be normally
heard in November and hearings on quasi-judicial
matters requiring plan map amendments would be
heard in November and June with the Board re-
serving the right to make legislative amendments
and quasi-judicial amendments at other times
when unusual circumstances exist.
Commissioner Young said that he sees this as another res-
triction on the people. Commissioner Shepard said that
this was designed to allow more time for the Planning
Department attend to the requests of a majority of the
people. Chairman Paulson said that this would allow them
to see all the changes at once, giving them a larger picture
of whats going on.
