Before the Board was Consideration of Approval of the Written Findings and Decision on the Revised Arnett Ranch Measure 37 Subdivision Application. Laurie Craghead explained that the Board had approved this originally. It was appealed to LUBA and the County withdrew the motion for reconsideration and the applicant was able to modify the application according to the wishes of LUBA. This is the written decision after the final hearing. She said that on page 5, paragraph e, the last sentence of the second paragraph, the question marks need to be removed. LUKE: Move question marks be removed as noted. BANEY: Second. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, October 1, 2007 Page 1 of 7 Pages VOTE: LUKE: Yes. BANEY: Yes.

Before the Board was a Hearing (continued fi°om July 23) and Consideration of Signature of Order No. 2007-117, a Measure 37 Claim (Claimant: Kraft). George Heilig of Cable Huston, attorney for the applicant, joined the meeting via conference call. Tom Anderson gave an overview of the item. The property, located off Allen Road, is approximately 37 acres, currently zoned EFU Tumalo-Redmond-Bend subzone with a conventional housing overlay. They want to subdivide for residential purposes into seven 5-acre parcels. The damage claimed is approximately $1,134,447. Ownership was acquired via deed on October 23, 1970, by Rose Allen Kraft and Walter Kraft. In 2002 the property transferred into the Kraft family revocable living trust. This does not break the ownership string. In 1994 the property was sold under contract to the Allens but the Krafts retained title. The Allens could not fulfill the terms of the agreement, so in 2001 the property was transferred via estoppel deed back to the Krafts. By virtue of the fact that the Krafts did retain title, the ownership stream is not broken; the Order sets the acquisition date of October 23, 1970 for purposes of future land use actions. In October 1970 the property was zoned intensive agriculture under PL-2 in the rural subdivision ordinance. It appears that a subdivision would have been permitted at that time. A number of letters of opposition have been received and some of the opponents are eligible to testify. Chair Daly opened the hearing at this time. Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, October 1, 2007 Page 2 of 7 Pages Mr. Heilig recommended adoption of the staff report and Order. He said the application by Ms. Kraft is more in keeping with the eligibility of Measure 37, as she has no plans of doing anything with the property at this time. She does not waive any health and safety issues. The road to the property may not accommodate development, but she wanted to put this into place. No other testimony for the claimant was offered. Testimony in opposition was then given. Elizabeth Lotochinski, who lives on Couch Market Road, said her family completed a new house that overlooks the acreage in question. She sent a letter to the Commissioners and to Ms. Kraft expressing her concern about the potential development of the property. Allan Clack, who lives on Allen Road, said he obtained legal counsel to get an opinion on the issue. For a period of almost seven years the Kraft family was not the beneficial owner, even though they had a revocable trust. He sees this as another way to get taxpayer money, and doesn't feel that Ms. Kraft has any real desire to develop the property. He lives in a community with massive growth, and he and his neighbors invested in a lifestyle and bought property to raise families in a rural setting. A subdivision in his front yard and the traffic associated with that was not in the plan. He understands the Commissioners are bound by County and State regulations, but they will fight in any fashion they can to protect our properties and lifestyle. Commissioner Luke said that since Mr. Clack is in the notification area, he would be notified of any land use action. There will be plenty of opportunity to testify in that event. The Commissioners would only be approving a waiver based on the acquisition date. Commissioner Daly asked Mr. Clack what the size of his acreage is. Mr. Clack said it is five acres. The house was built in 1990 and he has owned the property since 2000. He is not sure how the five acres came about. Chair Daly asked for rebuttal; Mr. Heilig said that he is only concerned about the Measure 37 claim at this time, not on the possible land use part. Commissioner Luke noted that the Board does not have a lot of leeway on Measure 37 claims, and this one clearly falls within the law.

DALY: Chair votes yes. 4. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Orders No. 2007-135, 136, 137, 138 and 139, Measure 37 Claims (Claimant: Central Electric Cooperative). Mark Pilliod gave a brief overview of the Orders. Staff reports in each case are the same as the ones prepared in July. The Orders are the same with one exception. They have been reviewed by the interested parties, so comments were included if they were consistent with the Board's direction. Commissioner Daly noted that Michael Peterkin's letter and Michael McGean's rebuttal conflict. Mr. Pilliod said that he made some adjustments based on comments from both parties. Language was added to indicate that if there is an appeal of a previous Order and it affects any overlapping easement, the County will abide by them. He didn't feel it was appropriate to remove easements that were part of the application. Regarding the acquisition of easements more recently, language was added that indicates that the waiver applies only to properties obtained in 1971 or earlier; others from later dates would have to comply with the zoning in place at the time of acquisition. The hearing was closed on July 23, 2007 so no public testimony was allowed at this time. Commissioner Baney asked if a property could have two easements on it. Mr. Pilliod replied that when easements were obtained in 1970 or 1971, the easements were described broadly; they did not have specific metes and bounds or follow a survey line. Years later the easements followed a specific line but might have covered the same corridor. There could be more than a single easement covering the same line.

From: Michael McGean [mailto:michael@francishansen.com] Sent: Friday, September 28, 2007 2:06 PM To: Mark Pilliod Cc: Martin E. Hansen; Brian Hickman; mwp@peterkinpc.com Subject: Order #2007-135 Mark, Here is my additional comment on Mr. Peterkin's proposed revisions to the proposed order. Mr. Peterkin asks that the 1962 Cyrus easements should be eliminated from this order and exhibit B because they were the subjects of the 2006-173 order. This was not agreed at the previous hearing as he says. The Order and Exhibit B should reflect that these easements were in fact the subjects of CEC's claim, and are subject to the terms of the Board's order. Although the 1962 Cyrus easements were included in CEC's Cline Falls to Jordan Road claim and the 2006 Order, they are also the subjects of this claim, which reflects a different stretch of transmission line, from Jordan Road to Sisters. The Board's analysis of CEC's claim depends on whether there is a land use regulation that "restricts the use of private real property or any interest therein." ORS 197.352. CEC's use of the 1962 easements is different in this case than it was in the previous claim because it is a different stretch of line. The separate Jordan Road to Sisters use in this claim should be considered independently from the Cline Falls to Jordan Road use that was at issue in 2006-173, even though the instruments are the same.
