Luke, Michael M. Daly and Tammy Baney. Also present were Dave Kanner, County Administrator; Tom Blust, Road Department; Anna Johnson, Communications; Dave Givans, Auditor; David Inbody, Assistant to the Administrator; Larry Blanton, Sheriff, Kevin Harrison, Will Groves, Peter Gutowsky and Peter Russell, Community Development; Joe Studer, Forester; a representative of KOHD television and Hillary Borrud of The Bulletin; and six other citizens. Chair Luke opened the meeting at 1: 30 p.m. 1. Presentation of 2010 U.S. Census Plan. Gladys Romero of the Census Bureau in Bothell, Washington, gave an overview of the upcoming census. These began in 1790. Billions of dollars are distributed annually based on census figures. It is very important to have accurate figures. Thousands of people help with the census each time but help is needed on the local level to make the process more complete. A committee would help to check the accuracy of the information collected. She distributed a sample proclamation that the Commissioners may choose to adopt. The long form went to each sixth household in the past. It has been replaced by the American Community Survey, which will go to 10% of the population in urban areas. In 2010, there will be a short form for everyone to complete - either 7 or 10 questions. Each member of the household will complete part of it. The questionnaire goes to the residents of the property. This includes residents of the jail, school dormitories and the homeless as much as possible. People need to be assured that the census is safe and confidential. The information is very useful for government agencies' planning purposes. Census Day is April 1, 2010. Minutes of Administrative Work Session Wednesday, November 12, 2008 Page 1 of 8 Pages 2. Forester Update. • Updates -Deschutes National Forest (John Allen, Supervisor) and BLM (Debbie Norton, District Manager) • Fuels Treatment • Qualified Pool Update • Update on Tampa Bay Conference John Allen, Supervisor of Deschutes National Forest, Debbie Norton, and Joe Stutler discussed wildland interface issues regarding lands that border federal lands. Commissioner Baney asked them to detail any barriers that exist to get this important work done. John Allen said the two federal agencies are peers and share a fire program and other management work. Ochoco National Forest is also a partner. He stated that discussions are ongoing regarding various parts of the County. No matter how much the message is disseminated to citizens, it does not permeate enough. A workshop locally would help to plan how to raise citizen awareness. He gave an overview of how the various entities have invested in the projects. Not all objectives have been reached, but substantial progress has been made. Joe Studer indicated a lot of energy into Deschutes River Woods, but they missed some folks with the education piece. They will be putting on a spring education event. Deschutes River Woods is unique since it is so large. The group discussed beetle kill trees, a problem that is affecting most of the western states. Lodgepole pine and some Ponderosa are dying from about Sunriver to the south at this time. More than 300,000 acres in Lake County have been affected. Debbie Norton gave a brief update of BLM activities. She said that Crook County has an agreement with the air tanker service now. The wheat farmers were the most concerned about fires this year affecting their crops. There is also new biomass facilities planned for John Day and Prineville to begin next year; these would utilize the beetle-kill trees. She added that BLM user fees have not been updated for about 25 years regarding rights of way. This fee will be raised and will primarily affect resort properties. Minutes of Administrative Work Session Wednesday, November 12, 2008 Page 2 of 8 Pages Mr. Allen stated that the federal government has a memorandum of understanding with the Warm Springs Tribes regarding using dead forests for biomass power. Commissioner Daly stated that Silvan Power in La Pine wants to use the material as well. Mr. Allen said this it is much like a timber sale. Ms. Norton stated that there is a lot of fuel available but it is an economic issue; much of the problem is the cost of transportation. Commissioner Baney said the La Pine community is looking for a place to hold the annual rodeo; they have outgrown the location they have been using. They would like to lease some land for this purpose. They need approximately 15 to 20 acres. The process used to lease BLM property is reportedly too complicated and lengthy. Ms. Norton stated that the shooting range is another issue they are dealing with at this time. There are several parcels in the La Pine area that the BLM may be able to sell as soon as they are determined to be legal lots of record. Laurie Craghead said she has been working on the lot of record issue and believes it has been resolved. Joe Stutler said that since June about 700 acres have been treated. An RFP on the qualified pool is out for about another 1,100 acres, mostly government land. The Community Fire Plan is the reason these are being treated. No one else is doing federal lands. The qualified pool group process will go out in January. Grants for $200,000 each and another large FEMA grant will be applied for soon. A presentation was made in Tampa, Florida regarding Community Fire Plans. It was well attended from people from the U.S. and other countries. Commissioner Luke asked about the RAC (Resource Advisory Committee). Mr. Allen stated that they are going to try to revitalize it. Membership will consist of individuals recommended by the counties. There are two vacancies at this time. Minutes of Administrative Work Session Wednesday, November 12, 2008 Page 3 of 8 Pages Sheriff Blanton stated that the County's Search and Rescue is the busiest in the western states. It is important to have proper and up to date equipment for these volunteers. Commissioner Baney asked if there is any way to allocate some funds to educate children about forest health. Public lands surround the communities. Mr. Studer said that proposals are being developed and they hope to be able to communicate forest health ideas to children. It may be possible to partner with the High Desert Museum. The consensus of the Board was that the allocation of Title II funds is appropriate. 3. Discussion of Title III Appropriations. Dave Kanner explained that there are three things that Title III funds can be spent on; these are wildfire planning efforts, search and rescue on federal lands, and community wildfire protection plans. Joe Studer stated that four years have been added to the original four years, totally $1.9 million. Now that this has been narrowed down to three categories, it will be handled differently. If there is a fire that doesn't receive a FEMA declaration under the State, the funds are not available. Now it will be a part of the Title III funding. Project Wildfire will be funded at about $60,000 per year. The Sheriff's receive about $150,000 per year. Some of the other amount will go for GIS production and other aspects at about $150,000 per year. Through fiscal year 2014, the amount will be $1.240 million, leaving about $252,000 in reserves. Commissioner Luke would like to see a way to accumulate or save more funding for reserves in the event funding is not available after that time. 4. Work Session on a Comprehensive Plan Text And Map Amendment and Zone Change From Surface Mining to Rural Residential to Allow Redevelopment of an Extensively Mined Site (Lower Bridge Way Area). Will Groves said that a hearing is scheduled for December 3. This was discussed previously when the Board decided to hear it de novo. Minutes of Administrative Work Session Wednesday, November 12, 2008 Page 4 of 8 Pages Commissioner Luke asked about the reclamation. Mr. Groves said that DOGAMI (Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries) has standards for mines during their existence, and some rules that predate DOGAMI. This site has been mined since the early 1900's. Everything required has been completed. (Mr. Groves distributed an oversized map for reference.) One area opened up during DOGAMI's existence, so there is a plan in place for its reclamation. The County also had limited reclamation requirements. DOGAMI feels there is no further reclamation needed at any location on the site. Mr. Groves pointed out where the existing structures are on the property. Under State rules there are no further reclamation requirements. Under a site plan in 1985, the applicant agreed to provide reclamation upon closure. This was primarily voluntary, and has not yet taken place. The applicant feels this pertains to a very limited area; it is unclear in the site plan. The Hearings Officer found that the proposal should be denied as this reclamation has not been done, or that it can be reclaimed when housing is established. At this point this only relates to the zone change. It is possible that homes could be established without completely reclaiming the area that needs it. Mr. Harrison said that a mining zone is meant to be in place only on a temporary basis. It ultimately is expected to be rezoned to a beneficial use. The zone change occurs when the resource is no longer viable and the property has been reclaimed. Inventory was done under Goal 5 in 1980. The property was surface mining reserve prior to 1985. Mr. Groves said that the cumulative file is so old that the maps showing the original mined area is not available, and it is difficult to determine what was already actively being mined. Some areas in the north end and southeast side of the property are considered view properties. Commissioner Luke asked why the County doesn't use the DOGAMI reclamation process. Mr. Groves said that DOGAMI didn't have a reclamation standard at the time and the County developed its own. The reclamation on the most recently mined area has not occurred. Minutes of Administrative Work Session Wednesday, November 12, 2008 Page 5 of 8 Pages Commissioner Luke asked if a zone change can be granted with the condition of reclamation to DOGAMI standards by a certain date. Ms. Craghead stated that the standards would have to be detailed. Mr. Harrison said that there are zone changes that are granted conditionally. It is then handled administratively. Many people are concerned about the dust generated from the site, and there have been DEQ reports on this issue. People are also concerned about the effect on groundwater by chemical contamination. Part of the property was purportedly used as a toxic waste site as late as the 1970's. The DEQ said they have not found any evidence of this, and they monitored cleanup of the site at that time. The mine has a long history, some of which is unknown. The majority of the comments say they are not worried about development as much as they are concerned about the site being cleaned up and safe for people. Commissioner Luke said that it would have to be rezoned RR-10 or MUA. He was advised that the soil does not qualify it for EFU. RR-10 is likely the lowest density. Both allow planned unit and cluster developments. Mr. Groves stated that the criteria are limited and nothing deals with possible environmental impacts. Ms. Craghead stated that there is nothing the County can do since DEQ found that it is clean. DEQ has recommended that the property owner voluntarily have additional testing done. The Department of Public Health agrees. If they are only able to use available data, they cannot dig any test holes. The toxic waste issue was completed and it was found to be cleaned up. However, in terms of the systematic cleanup of the entire site, there is not enough information available. It was not found to be a serious enough concern for DEQ to require additional testing or certification. They have issued an NFA (no further action required). They would issue a second NFA for residential use once the property is rezoned. Mr. Harrison said there is nothing in Code that requires further action. DEQ can require this but the timing of their past involvement is out of sync. There have been no cases where an environmental analysis is required in this type of situation. Ms. Craghead said that it is too complicated to decide whether a level 19 2 or 3 study should be required. DEQ usually works that out with the property owner. Commissioner Daly said that he attended one of the hearings years ago and the Health Department indicated they studied the area and could find no problems. Minutes of Administrative Work Session Wednesday, November 12, 2008 Page 6 of 8 Pages Mr. Groves said that the Health Department does not commission studies or have regulatory authority; they will do fact-finding when requested. They found that the soil and groudnwater showed no health hazards. The scrap metal and dilapidated buildings are a hazard and should be removed. Blowing dust is an indeterminate health hazard. Commissioner Luke asked how septic systems can be installed on fill or if it is stable to build upon. Mr. Groves stated that the building sites chosen have not been disturbed. This is not an issue at this time; right now, the only question is how to rezone the property since it is no longer viable to mine. Peter Russell addressed concerns about transportation issues. ODOT has indicated that trip generation has been studied, and the current traffic situation does not apply. Surface mining generates about 15 trips; residential would be about 74 during peak hours. It is felt that single-family homes generate about 10 trips a day. The applicant argues it is about the same, based on other sites with similar changes. However, some of these other sites are in metro areas and it is felt that the mining trips would naturally be higher. Commissioner Luke asked where the traffic study was done. He was advised that for the most part, Highway 97 and Lower Bridge Way were considered. Very little traffic goes north towards Madras or on Buckhorn and Highway 126. The long-term fix for Lower Bridge Way and Highway 97 has still not been determined. Commissioner Daly feels that people who live that far out would make fewer trips each day than someone who lives close in. It is not reasonable to ask the property owner or developer to provide an overpass. The "fix" is not known so it is hard to know what to charge various developers for this eventual improvement. Commissioner Daly stated that he understands the DEQ is tired of hearing from people regarding the dust problem and they look forward to something happening with the site. Commissioner Luke said that he is concerned about the environmental aspects and in particular the traffic situation.

Educators are trusted voices in their communities and can help deliver the 2010 Census message to every corner of the nation, through elementary schools to college campuses. 2090 census 7imeiine: Grey Oates Fa//2008 Spring 2009 Fall 2009 February - March 2010 April 1, 2010 April - July 2010 December 2010 March 2011 Recruitment begins for local census jobs for early census operations.

Also, SRS2008 has just three categories of approved projects, reduced from the 6 categories approved in prior years. The three approved categories are: (1) Carry out programs under the Firewise Communities program through education and assistance to homeowners regarding ways to reduce risks from wildfire; and (2) reimburse counties for the cost of search, rescue and emergency services, including firefighting, on federal lands; and (3) develop community wildfire protection plans in coordination with the Forest Service and/or the BLM. Title III projects are still subject to a 45-day notice and comment period. Title III has a new requirement for annual certifications by counties that their Title III projects are in compliance with the statutory requirements. As a consequence of the Deschutes County Board of County Commissioners decision last year to allocate the Title III dollars to the County Forester, Project Wildfire and Deschutes County Sheriff Department (see Alternative 2) for four years which runs through FY 10-11, I have taken the projected totals for the next four years and projected a budget for that time period.

The reason for the discrepancy for both Project Wildfire and the County Forester is in the past we have used grant funding to supplement both programs. For the grants we currently have and for the foreseeable future our ability to use grant funding is diminishing for salary and other charges, our grants go almost 100% to "on-ground efforts" and other program management costs are no longer allowed as in past years. In 2008 Project Wildfire costs were $61,333 and the County Forester costs were $159,810. We will continue to maximize grant funding were practical and legal thus increasing the reserve amount for FY 12-13. It is important to realize that since the previous six options for distribution of Title III funding through grants i.e. Heart of Oregon, High Desert Museum, Four Winds Foundation and Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council are no longer available. Consequently the most realistic providers of the three criteria in SRS2008 are Project Wildfire, Deschutes County Sheriff's Department and the County Forester. Recommendation: Approve the funding strategy of Title III funds for FY 08-12 Title III Options September 2007 History: Deschutes County has received both Title II and Title III dollars for approximately five years since the Secure Funding Legislation passed. Recently a one- year extension gave the counties an additional allocation to buy time which will allow counties additional time to identify alternative funding strategies for not only Title II and III projects but the road maintenance funds. Congress is looking at alternative legislative measures which would replace previous payments based on timber sale receipts but that outcome in both unpredictable and may be several years before counties see results. Traditionally Title II and Title III funding has been appropriated on a 70%-30% split respectively. For 2007 the Deschutes County BOCC reversed the percentage spread and the total amount available for Title III is approximately $765,000. In previous years Title III received approximately $250,000 annually which was allocated to the following recipients: • Deschutes County Sheriff • Deschutes County Forester • Project Wildfire • Heart of Oregon • High Desert Museum • Glades Meadow restoration project. • Edgington Road District • Nature Conservancy • Wolf Tree Education Foundation • Other education/natural resource initiatives. Title III dollars can only be spent in specific areas as per the legislation: • Emergency services on public lands, i.e. Search and Rescue and materials. • Costs for supervising mandatory community service work on public lands. • Easements for access or conservation. • Forest related education. • Fire prevention and planning. • Community Forestry. Alternatives and Strategy: The only thing certain is that the extension of the funding will be the last Deschutes County will see until Congress passes new legislation. The timing and funding amounts is unknown, consequently impossible to predict. Based on the available information there are three viable alternatives to consider: Alternative 1: Continue with existing process allocating approximately $250,000 annually to qualifying applicants. This would give Deschutes County approximately three years before Title III funding is exhausted. v Alternative 2: Fund the Deschutes County Sheriff, @ $75,000, the County Forester @ $75,000 and Project Wildfire @ $40,000 annually which will give Deschutes County approximately four years before Title III funding is exhausted. Alternative 3: Fund the Deschutes County Sheriff, @ $50,000, the County Forester @ $50,000 and Project Wildfire @ $25,000 annually which will give Deschutes County approximately five years before Title III funding is exhausted. Preferred Alternative is 2: Keeping the funding at the identified levels will allow the Sheriff's Department, Forester and Project Wildfire to operate at "sufficient levels." Both the Forester and Project Wildfire have other grant dollars to supplement the programs but can not operate with grant funding alone. Project Wildfire has brought in excess of $1.5 million dollars to Deschutes County thru grant writing efforts we must maintain this as a viable program because of the success of the program and our interagency commitments. Having a stable budget for at least four years is an added advantage from a planning advantage. The other two alternatives either will not extend Title III funding for a sufficient time period or in the case of Alternative 3, those dollars amounts for the Sheriff Department or Forester will result in significantly reduced services and reduce flexibility to utilize grant funding opportunities. The consequences of this alternative versus Alternative #1 is programs such as Heart of Oregon and other worthy endeavors will have to seek alternative funding sources. This will not be a popular decision but at this point with funding potentially going away, we simply must take care of existing programs within County government. Project Wildfire is an anomaly in that the program was created and still currently managed by County ordinance Choosing Alternative 2 will allow Deschutes County sufficient time to develop funding strategies if in fact Title III dollars or other funding schemes completely end.

(Applicant: Daniels Group LLC). File nos.: ZC-08-1 and PA-08-1 (A-08-15). BACKGROUND The applicant requests approval of a plan amendment to change the designation of the subject property from Surface Mine (SM) and Agriculture (AG) to Rural Residential Exception Area (RREA) and to remove Surface Mining Site 461 from the county's Goal 5 inventory of significant mineral and aggregate resource sites. The applicant also requests approval of a zone change from Surface Mining (SM) and Exclusive Farm Use (EFU-LB) to Rural Residential (RR-10) for the subject property. The removal of the SM zoning on the subject property also would remove the existing Surface Mining Impact Area Combining Zone (SMIA) zoning on property located within one-half mile of the SM Zone. If these applications are approved, the applicant plans to redevelop the site as a residential planned unit development with up to 74 dwellings. The Hearings Officer agreed with the applicant the site does not include significant mineral or aggregate resources and that it is appropriate to remove the site from the county's Goal 5 mineral and aggregate inventory. In addition, the Hearings Officer concluded that the site does not include agricultural or forest soils, and cannot be put to resource use. Therefore, a non-resource designation is appropriate. However, the Hearings Officer concluded that the applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposal is consistent with the Transportation Planning Rule (TPR), or that reclamation of the site will occur in accordance with the approved reclamation plan for the site. Therefore, the Hearings Officer concluded that these applications cannot be approved. The 556-acre subject property is predominantly designated Surface Mine under the Comprehensive Plan. However approximately 9.6 acres are designated agriculture. Under Quality Services Performed with Pride 22.28.030(C), the portion of this plan amendment and zone change concerning lands designated for agricultural use shall be heard de novo before the Board of County Commissioners without the necessity of filing an appeal. The applicant filed appeal A-08-15 on August 22, 2008, requesting limited de novo review of that portion of the application that pertains to property designated Surface Mine in the Comprehensive Plan. As discussed above, the Board must hear the portion of the plan amendment and zone change concerning lands designated for agricultural use de novo. However, the Board may choose to decline to hear, hear limited de novo, or hear de novo the portion of the plan amendment and zone change concerning lands designated for surface mine. The applicant believes that the Board has the option of choosing a limited de novo option to hear the land designated for agriculture because of the provision in DCC 22.28.030(C) that says that all other provisions of DCC Title 22 are applicable. Staff, believes, however, that the intent of DCC 22.28.030(C) is to require a full-de novo hearing. If the Board had the option of deciding what type of hearing to have regarding plan amendments for agricultural land, there would be no need to specify that the hearing be de novo. Additionally, DCC 22.28.030(D) says that, if a party wants the Board to review the non- agricultural portion of a plan amendment, the party must appeal to the party and "The plan amendment shall be heard by the Board consolidated with the appeal of those other applications." What is not absolutely clear from this is whether the Board must hear all by way of a de novo hearing. Staff and legal counsel believes that the Board must hear the agricultural portion de novo but may choose to include in the same hearing a limited de novo or hearing on the record for the non-agricultural portion. Because what type of hearing, if any, to have on each of the portion of this application is a matter of code interpretation, staff requests that the Board provide direction to staff as to the scope of review for the hearing. Staff will then provide the required notice for the hearing accordingly. STAFF DISCUSSION Staff recommends that the Board accept the appeal and hear the entire matter de novo. Limiting testimony to specific issues on specific portions of the property will significantly complicate the hearing. Also, given the intense public interest in this matter, a rule-complicated public hearing may create public frustration with the process.

Lewis, OSB #93343 SCHWABE, WILLIAMSON & WYATT 549 SW Mill View Way, Suite 100 Bend OR 97702 Applicant, The Daniels Group, LLC, by and through their attorney, Tia M. Lewis, submit the following Notice of Appeal of the decision of the Deschutes County Hearings Officer dated August 6 and mailed August 11, 2008 recommending denial of its application for a plan amendment and zone change from Surface Mining to Rural Residential to allow redevelopment of the Lower Bridge diatomaceous mining site. The Applicant has standing to file this appeal because it participated in the review below by filing the application and submitting written and oral testimony at the hearing before the Deschutes County Hearings Officer. The Applicant requests the Board limit de novo review to the two issues only as set forth herein. 1. REQUEST FOR DE NOVO REVIEW. Pursuant to DCC 22.32.027(B)(2) and DCC 22.28.030, the Applicant requests de novo review of the decision because it presents issues of significant public policy and county-wide implications for Deschutes County as the decision is one which involves a large surface mining site located on a prominent stretch of a wild and scenic portion of the Deschutes River. The decision involves significant issues concerning redevelopment and reclamation of the former mining site for rural residential use and thereby provides an opportunity and incentive to improve public health and safety with the redevelopment. The decision also provides an opportunity for developer funded transportation improvements in an area experiencing transportation deficiencies. De novo review of this decision by the Board of Deschutes County Commissioners is necessary to establish a reasonable interpretation of the County ordinances, a previous surface mining decision on this site, the state statutes and the administrative rules implementing the Statewide Planning Goals so that the citizens of Deschutes County can rely on such interpretations for future land use applications. Such an interpretation cannot be adequately and fairly made by any Page 1- NOTICE OF APPEAL PDX/116094/150752/PIA/2862659.1 other body as the Board of County Commissioners is the most appropriate authority for setting policy and interpreting the statutes, administrative rules and county ordinances as they apply to surface mining, transportation improvements and resource land within Deschutes County. Further, the applicant would like the opportunity to submit additional evidence addressing the Hearings Officer's findings which include factual errors and conclusions which could not have been addressed in the hearing before the Hearings Officer. The issues relied upon for this appeal are set forth below. The Applicant requests, pursuant to DCC 22.32.027 B3, the Board limit the de novo review solely to the two issues set forth below. All other issues were fully briefed, argues and correctly decided by the Hearings Officer. The facts in the record and those which will be supplied at the hearing before the Board will demonstrate that the application meets all relevant land use approval criteria or can meet the approval criteria through the imposition of conditions of approval, and therefore, should be approved. II. TIME PERIOD FOR REVIEW. The present application for a plan amendment and zone change is not subject to the 150 day deadline within which the County has to make decisions on certain land use applications. III. ISSUES FOR APPEAL. Applicant raises the following issues for appeal: 1. The Hearings Officer erred in concluding that the application should be denied on the basis that it did not comply with the Transportation Planning Rule OAR 660-012 and the applicable goals, plan policies and ordinances relating to transportation impacts. 2. The Hearings Officer erred concluding the appl' 1 should be de 'e based on the failure to complete the reclamation set forth in SP-85 / sr _ DATED: August 2008 Lewis, 09B #933 3 SCHWABE, WILLIAMSON & WYATT Attorney for Applicant/Appellant Page 2 - NOTICE OF APPEAL PDX/116094/150752/PIA/2862659.1 Legend ZC-08-1 /PA-08-1 Applicant: The Daniels Group LLC E-*.~ Address: 70420 NW Lower Bridge Way Taxmap: 14.12-1501,1502,1503,1505 & 1600 - Document Reproduces Poorly _ - (Archived)
