MINUTES OF BUSINESS MEETING
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MONDAY, JULY 209 2009
Commissioners' Hearing Room - Administration Building - 1300 NW Wall St., Bend
Present were Commissioners Tammy Baney, Dennis R. Luke and Alan Unger.
Also present were Nick Lelack, Todd Cleveland, Kristen Maze, Community
Development; Laurie Craghead, Legal Counsel; and four other citizens. No
representatives of the media were present.
Chair Baney opened the meeting at 10: 00 a. m.
1. Before the Board was Citizen Input.
None was offered.
2. Before the Board was a Public Hearing and Consideration of First Reading
of Ordinance No. 2009-018, regarding Allowing the Expansion and
Conversion of Recreational Vehicle and Manufactured Home Spaces as a
Conditional Use.
Chair Baney read the opening statement. In regard to bias or prejudgment, the
Commissioners had none to disclose. She then opened the public hearing.
Kristen Maze gave a brief overview of the item, which was citizen initiated.
Currently RV parks are not allowed to expand while manufactured home parks
can. It has been found that these facilities were primarily established in the
early 1970's and earlier, and 33 remain today. At this time 24 parks are not
within city limits and are used for residential. Many of them contain both
manufactured homes and RV's.

In 1996 an amendment allowed manufactured home facilities to expand but it
did not include RV's. The new amendment would include those and also MUA
property.
Ms. Maze stated that most of the parks are already expanded out to their
capacity at this time. This amendment cannot be used to create a new facility;
and all current regulations would have to be met.
Commissioner Baney for clarification about the number of spaces to be
approved. Ms. Maze stated that the information provided is from 1995.
Commissioner Luke clarified that this is just for a conversion or expansion, but
only the existing facilities can be considered.
Ms. Maze said the Planning Commission recommended approval, but a few
clauses were changed to clarify the wording. There was no opposition at the
Planning Commission hearing. Ms. Maze pointed out the changes at this time.
James Lewis, representing the applicant, agreed with the staff report. He
pointed out that the RV parks are thriving and viable businesses, but it is hard to
bring those up to standard without changes to the Code. This will allow them to
upgrade to existing standards, and serves an important community need.
Other entities such as the Department of Environmental Quality and the Oregon
Department of Transportation will ultimately be able to provide input.
LUKE: Move first reading by title only of the Ordinance, as amended by staff.
UNGER: Second.
VOTE: LUKE
UNGER:
BANEY:
Yes.
Yes.
Chair votes yes.
Chair Baney conducted the first reading by title only. The second reading and
consideration of adoption will be on the August 5 Board business meeting
agenda.

3. Before the Board were Additions to the Agenda.
Todd Cleveland said that the County is the on-site agent for the DEQ for
inspections and permitting. Commissioner Luke said that it was suggested by a
few citizens that DEQ handle this service in the future in regard to site
evaluation and groundwater work.
Mr. Cleveland said they handle the drinking water program, restaurant
inspections, licensed accommodation inspections, foodborne outbreak
inspections, other issues related to health.
Commissioner Luke asked how that ties into the groudnwater situation. Mr.
Cleveland said it involves humans and how they interact with the environment.
Health hazards and water quality interact and are all linked. All of the
inspectors have to be trained on the entire process and all of the potential
impacts of humans on the environment.
If the program were to be turned over to the DEQ, they would have to provide
services to the entire county and not just the south County.
Mr. Cleveland stated that there would be a service issue. To get a building
permit, certain permits and inspections have to occur in a timely fashion.
Community Development is a one-stop shop and handles these as part of the
process. If the DEQ had control of the water or sewer aspects, it would
complicate the process, take more time, and likely end up costing more.
Commissioner Luke asked if State rules apply. Mr. Cleveland said they do,
although there are some items that the County requires as well. The County can
require more than the DEQ, but not less. The DEQ would have to make sure it
complied with the County's requirements.
Commissioner Luke asked about the map created to review the information.
This will be discussed at the July 20 afternoon work session at length.
Nick Lelack emphasized the importance of the one-stop shopping at
Community Development. It is difficult for customers and others if there are
multiple entities involved.
