MINUTES OF BUSINESS MEETING
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MONDAY, APRIL 29, 2013
Commissioners' Hearing Room - Administration Building - 1300 NW Wall St., Bend
Present were Commissioners Alan Unger, Tammy Baney and Anthony DeBone.
Also present were Tom Anderson, County Administrator; Erik Kropp, Deputy
County Administrator, Nick Lelack, Wil Groves, Cynthia Smidt, Peter Russell and
Peter Gutowsky, Community Development, Laurie Craghead, County Counsel,
and approximately twenty other citizens.
Chair Unger opened the meeting at 10:04 a.m.
1. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
2. CITIZEN INPUT
3. Before the Board was a Presentation of the Annual Report on the
Deschutes River Mitigation and Enhancement Program.
Nancy Dorn, of the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife; Ryan Huston,
Executive Director of the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council, and Steve
Johnson, Manager of Central Oregon Irrigation District, came before the Board.
Mr. Johnson gave a presentation to the Board since one had not been done for a
couple of years. He said there is a small power-generating plan on the COID
canal between Redmond and Bend, and another hydroelectric generation
facility southwest of Bend. (A copy of the presentation is attached for
reference.) He said that over $1 million has gone towards mitigation and
enhancement of habitat, from the proceeds of this power generation plant.

Ms. Dorn stated that this is a unique relationship, and part of her responsibilities
is to work with the Deschutes River Mitigation and Enhancement Program.
There is a well-rounded group of people on the group's board, some of whom
are appointed by the Commissioners; these members make decisions on
projects, policies and funding. They have about a 1.5 match to every dollar
they contribute to make projects more effective. The scope of work on any
project can be very different. They have accomplished about a dozen larger
projects in all parts of the area, in conjunction with a variety of partners and
agencies.
The biggest current project has to do with fish monitoring and restoration. At
this point they are going into the second year of gathering data.
Ryan Huston talked about leverage and the County's involvement. He
explained where funding has originated (federal, state and local), and the in-
kind investment of the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife, the U.S. Forest
Service and others. They try to leverage funds wisely so they can do as much
as possible.
Commissioner Baney asked if there are other partnerships like this in other
parts of the state. Mr. Johnson said that he is not aware of anything similar
elsewhere. Mr. Huston added that the partnership and the power generating
component are unique.
Commissioner DeBone thanked them for explaining the program and projects.
Chair Unger asked why they maintain about $500,000 in reserves. Mr. Dorn
said there was some transition with staff and there has been a lot done on the
lower Deschutes. The middle and upper areas is the most difficult due to
fluctuations in the river flow. They are waiting for the proper conditions.
Ms. Dorn added they want to make it as meaningful as possible. Mr. Huston
stated that there are some big challenges in the middle and upper Deschutes, so
they want to make sure they have the right place to invest. Other groups are
looking at the upper Deschutes River and they need to coordinate with them.
Mr. Huston stated that fish monitoring may continue for another three years.
They also need to watch what the DEQ is doing regarding water quality. The
committee may want to invest in this process since the State has not been able
to move forward on it.
Chair Unger stated the role of the County is to approve part of the group's
membership, and he is pleased with this partnership.

4. Before the Board was Consideration of Deliberations on a Board-initiated
Review of the Planning Division's Approval of a Land Use Permit to
Establish Two Farm-help Dwellings in the EFU Zone (Applicant:
Simpson).
Cynthia Smidt gave an overview of the issue. The biggest controversy seems to
be in regard to the south additional dwelling. There are two farm-help
dwellings, one for family and one not. Two letters were submitted after the
time for comment had expired. One was in support and one wasn't.
Ms. Craghead said that the Board would have to decide whether to accept these
documents or specifically reject them, as a finding. The Board has not seen
them yet. The Board indicated it is not interested in seeing documents that
came in after the final date.
Commissioner DeBone asked if the two dwellings went into Code enforcement
at the same time. Ms. Smidt thinks that there was a complaint about one and
the other came later. One still needs to be permitted.
The north home is lived in by family members. The south home is used by a
family that is providing help with the ranch. There is an argument that this is a
replacement home to a lawfully established home. The Board would have to
determine if this is the case, and if the farm help is principally engaged in the
farm operation.
Ms. Craghead stated that the argument has been made that one is the
replacement dwelling, which had electrical power and four walls. To her, the
argument of a conditional approval does not mesh with the legal requirements.
Chair Unger asked if this is because it did not go through the permitting
process. Ms. Craghead said that the law does not specifically indicate that
permits were needed. Ms. Smidt stated that the previous dwelling was legally
established and permitted, but the new home was not placed with permits.
Commissioner Baney asked if there is a timeline given for how long someone
has to replace a dwelling. Ms. Smidt said it needs to be immediately replaced
and permits should be obtained before the original structure is removed.
Chair Unger said that the ranch was owned by other individuals, and was then
purchased by the Simpsons; so some of the work in question was what the past
owner wanted to do, and they removed it; and it took a while for the new
owners to decide what to do as well. Time was needed to decide what to do and
when.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, April 29, 2013
Page 3 of 15
Ms. Smidt said that the new dwelling was established in 1996, but the new
owners did not think they needed to go through the process for a replacement
dwelling.
Ms. Craghead said they are not deciding whether the house can stay, just how to
get there. Commissioner DeBone feels it is basically a Code compliance issue.
He does support that it was lawfully created originally. Chair Unger said it was
a manufactured home so the process that was missed was the electrical and
septic part.
Mr. Lelack said the reason it is important to know whether the replacement
home is appropriate. If it is, they can obtain the necessary permits. This is the
biggest issue, whether the structure is grandfathered in. This means that the
occupants do not have to be involved in agriculture.
Chair Unger says there is a bigger issue of challenges of State law, farming in
general and the frustration with how this relates specifically. Farming here is a
bigger challenge and it is hard to meet the bar the State established for other
areas. People who farm here have to have outside jobs since it is difficult to
farm in this area. The State has allowed other areas to look at farming in a
more regional fashion.
Commissioner DeBone stated that the replacement dwelling, a manufactured
home built to Code, probably met the requirements at the time, except for the
inspections and permits. It seems the dwellings are appropriate for this type of
operation. Mr. Lelack stated that it was an allowed use but they just did not get
the proper permits. The next question is, if it is not a replacement dwelling,
they have to show the occupants are involved in farm work.
Commissioner DeBone does not want to see the lack of permits set precedence
so that others might try to do the same thing. Chair Unger stated that there
may be others like this out there, and the County won't know unless there is a
complaint. Mr. Anderson said that from a practical standpoint, Code
enforcement won't change, but they need to determine if the gap in time
between dwellings and the time that lapsed before getting permits is an issue for
the Board. There may be other situations out there where these time gaps exist.
Each complaint would be approached more generally; this is a more specific
question.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, April 29, 2013
Page 4 of 15
Chair Unger asked that if they determine it met requirements, would it create
problems for Code enforcement if there is a similar situation. Mr. Anderson
said it would only be an issue if they have to determine whether a structure is
grandfathered, since it is supposed to exist continuously. The opponents argue
there was a gap that broke the chain; the applicant says there was not a gap
because of the unknowns of ownership at the time and whether the lack of
permits is the problem. The precedence potentially would be whether a gap in
time would be allowed between one dwelling and the next.
Ms. Craghead stated that it is not considered interrupted or abandoned for a
year. Ms. Smidt said that it is not considered non-conforming unless it is not on
EFU land. The original could be non-conforming but the replacement would
not be.
Mr. Lelack said that if it is a replacement there is no limitation on who lives
there. If it is a replacement dwelling, it has to be tied to the care of the farm.
Ms. Craghead said that the original could have been lawfully established even if
not permitted, depending on the timeframe. It could mean the use was
established before permitting or the laws changed after it was established. Ms.
Smidt said that she feels the permits are required.
Commissioner Baney said that they can get to the point of there being a
replacement, but she doesn't feel it is lawful until permitted. Commissioner
DeBone stated that it was lawfully established in 1977, but there are permit
compliance issues since then. If it is a replacement dwelling, it is okay for any
use. Ms. Smidt stated that she thinks it was established originally for farm help.
Commissioner DeBone does feel this is for farm help. Chair Unger said that it
was lawfully established in 1977 but not lawfully established after that due to a
lack of permits. It is important to have dwellings permitted. They don't want
to make that kind of exception. Commissioner Baney can't get past the
permitting part either.
Mr. Lelack went over the idea that the use was allowed but the replacement was
not established with required permits.
There was consensus on the replacement not being lawfully established due to
the lack of permits.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, April 29, 2013
Page 5of15
Ms. Smidt said people are living in the home and the proponents say both are
involved in the farm use. The opponent says that they are not principally
engaged. That term is hard to determine. DLCD has commented on this and
gives the County discretion. Often this means there has to be physical farm
work that requires them to live on the farm.
Commissioner DeBone said that physical farm use is not appropriate anymore.
There are other operations of the facility that need to take place. There is not
going to be someone out baling hay all the time. The jobs that were presented
are appropriate and necessary.
Commissioner Baney struggled with this, but since they are tracking calving
and other activities, it needs to be done on site. It is important to have someone
on the property during those times. She is supportive of the scope of the work
being done.
Chair Unger said that the term "physically engaged" is archaic. A ranch or
farm has a lot of things that need to take place, but the operation is more than
working the fields and animals. Cities have agreed that an industrial site allows
for a caretaker on site to secure and monitor the site. Agriculture should allow
this as well, especially when there is inventory like animals. There should be a
broader definition of what makes sense here.
The Commissioner agreed that this criterion has been met. Mr. Lelack said this
means finding that the occupants are principally engaged in the operation of the
ranch.
Ms. Smidt asked if the Board wants to go further with this. Chair Unger feels
that there needs to be a bigger, more holistic look at this issue and how it has
been addressed in other areas, but not at this time.
Ms. Smidt asked if the Board wants annual reporting on the activities, which are
listed as conditions. Mr. Lelack said they are willing but he is sure they don't
really want to do this if not necessary. Ms. Smidt said they would have to
report as to who is residing there and what they are doing; both the family
dwelling and the farm help dwelling. They also would be required to show the
gross annual sales and what assistance the residents provide to the operation.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, April 29, 2013
Page 6 of 15
There need to be conditions of approval recorded with the Clerk prior to them
being able to get permits for the buildings; and that the dwellings would be
removed if no longer needed.
Commissioner DeBone asked what the requirements are for family dwellings.
Ms. Smidt said it could be for a medical need if not necessary for help on the
ranch.
The Board agreed that these conditions should be met. Staff will draft a final
decision and present it to the Board at a later date.
5. Before the Board was a Public Hearing on Ordinance No. 2013-008, to
Change the Ratio of Overnight to Residential Units in Destination Resorts
Outside the Bend Urban Area.
Chair Unger read the opening statement. The Commissioners had no conflicts
of interest to disclose.
William Groves provided a presentation on the details and background of the
Ordinance. The County has more restrictive requirements regarding housing
ratios, and to change to a different ratio requires a change in Code.
This amendment would lower the mandatory number of units required in
Pronghorn, Eagle Crest and Thornburgh, and any others that might be
established. One concern is off site impacts, so the CMP (conditional master
plan) would have to be adjusted as well. Staff feels that this process would
provide a forum for an analysis of potential impacts. Staff feels that this won't
have an impact on transportation. For each residential unit, the change means
1/10th of a night overnight unit, which is small. It should comply with State
law, and this change would do so. It provides the resorts with greater flexibility
on how their units are utilized, and would not allow for an expansion of the
property.
This change may change the type of units but not the number of visitors. The
Planning Commission had a split vote on this issue but generally was in favor
due to the economic aspects, allowing more flexibility for resorts, and felt that
there would be fewer off-site impacts.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, April 29, 2013
Page 7 of 15
Some think the resorts have been allowed too much flexibility already and that
this would lower barriers for future resorts. Central Oregon Landwatch has
indicated these concerns.
The applicant asked for an emergency approval so they can apply for permits
sooner. They are trying to build units during the proper timeframe for
construction.
The Board can take testimony; and could close testimony. Representatives of
the Sunriver Owners Association asked that this be left open for thirty days for
comments. There are three areas zoned for resorts in that general area. They
would not have received specific notice. Mr. Lelack said they were aware some
time ago but did not meet for a period of time as a group.
Liz Dickson, attorney for Pronghorn (the applicant) came before the Board,
with a representative of Pronghorn.
Ms. Fancher said they have worked with the Planning Commission and staff to
address concerns. They have reviewed the record extensively, and it has been
an interesting discussion. One has concerns about destination resorts in general.
It is a worthwhile discussion, but that is not the question today.
The question is whether destination resorts in their allocation of resources
should be able to allow for more flexibility with fewer overnight dwellings
required. The question is how many overnight units to build to go along with
the residential units. This is not the place or time for deciding whether
destination resorts are a good idea.
Destination resorts are to provide recreational facilities to visitors and residents.
There are lots of different people using destination resorts. The most difficult
part is the infrastructure and recreational facilities; this is a big upfront expense.
You build the overnight facilities when there is a demand for them. If there is
no demand, you are draining your resources. This kind of thing negatively
affects the entire hospitality business in the area. Having excess supply brings
down the profitability for all in the area. You don't want to build excess units
unless there is appropriate demand. This change would allow the operators to
build what makes sense for their industry, depending on the market.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, April 29, 2013
Page 8 of 15
In this case, timing is important. There is an agreement with the County that
needs to show what overnight units are going to be built and where. The
applicant needs to know how many to build. They finalized the amended
agreement in January and filed this application the same time. They also
looked at the request from Sunriver Owners' Association asking for this to
remain open for thirty days, but they were aware of it a long time ago.
Pronghorn wants to meet the obligations of the agreement and move forward
with planning.
There was an issue raised by Planning Commissioner Powell regarding
destination resorts in general. Planning Commissioners are supposed to think
like this, the bigger picture, but he had asked whether Pronghorn was open to
the public. It is not a gated community. There is a greeter gate. Ms. Craghead
said this is irrelevant for this discussion, and there is nothing in Code that
means a destination resort can be a closed and gated community. This is a
general issue raised by the one Planning Commission but is not relevant for the
ratio discussion.
Ms. Fancher stated that they are looking for a way to be flexible with the
number and type of units. Pronghorn is a high-end resort and they don't want
cookie-cutter units; some would be small and some large. Some units will have
lock-offs for this purpose. The units can be adapted to the individual users.
Ms. Fancher said that another issued was raised was compliance with the TPR
(Transportation Planning Rule). It is hard to determine whether this change
would have any impact at all. Only another building phase might change the
transportation impacts. In the case of Pronghorn, they are maxed out by the
total number of structures allowed.
Steven Hultberg, representing Sunriver Partners and Caldera Springs, explained
that as with Title 19, this is straightforward. LCDC changed the ratio years ago
to 2.5:1. They are trying to mirror this. A lot of the discussion on this subject
has been on other aspects. Caldera would allow a ten unit difference at most.
The opposition seems to think this changes a resort into a rural subdivision, but
the change would be minimal. He agrees with what the State has determined is
appropriate.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, April 29, 2013
Page 9 of 15
Black Butte Ranch and Sunriver have no overnight obligations, yet they
function as resorts. Also, supply and demand is important. Overbuilding does
not just affect the price but also the quality. Less money coming in means less
to support the resorts in general. There needs to be a proper balance of supply
and demand.
The request to keep the record open is unnecessary. This has been open for
months. The SROA Board met in January and March, but did not send anyone
to the Planning Commission meetings, nor to this meeting today. They have
not appeared to bring up their concerns. Also, this has to do with ratios and not
density. They have a maximum density requirement already. They won't be
adding to the infrastructure or transportation impacts.
The Board had no questions or comments.
Paul Dewey testified that this is a replay of the Title 19 discussion. He is
concerned about the expansion of flexibility, or a windfall for resorts. Usually
there should be some quid pro quo to the public. There is a lot of variability
today and he does not think the impacts are that small. No one is talking about
Thornburgh where the difference might be hundreds of units. The resorts want
changes that affect them but it will be applied to other resorts. There is no
analysis of these impacts on the ones that are not built. This is a broad decision
based on two resorts. Staff has done a good analysis but has not looked at the
overall impacts. Caldera is substantially different from Thornburgh.
He also said the Board should limit the number of residential units. They all
say they want flexibility on the overnights. Thornburgh has not said they want
this done. If they say they don't plan to do this, they should have to apply for
this at the time. Most who are concerned about the resorts don't want other
resorts getting too large and creating another residential subdivision.
There was a lot of talk about supply and demand, and flexibility. They already
have substantial flexibility. It is an easy to make argument but is not justified.
He questions as to whether this would just add value to their properties so they
can flip them. There needs to be firm information on supply and demand.
He said he submitted a letter in February on Title 19 and could not attend the
Title 18 hearing, and wants to know if it is included. Mr. Groves said it has
been.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, April 29, 2013
Page 10 of 15
Commissioner Baney feels that overnight units are important, but the idea
seems to be that there will be more tourists if this is done. Mr. Dewey said that
State law calls for one thing and the County another. He feels that this market
is saturated and it is a loss for destination resorts to build overnight units.
Markets change over time, and so does demand. It is difficult to say what is
necessary for the market. There is an array of units in the area, so he does not
know how it can be said that one resort's inventory can affect another's.
Everyone points to Sunriver, but Thornburgh will not be the same. It may be
gated and exclusive. He said he can't make the argument without more
background information as to whether more overnight units are needed in this
area.
Ms. Fancher stated that she appreciates Mr. Dewey's comments and
consistency. The important thing is that there is a well-used, very developed
land use process in place for the CMP. Every time there is a situation regarding
a new development, it is an extensive process and not an easy one. The
concerns brought up regarding Thornburgh are hard to analyze. It is a big
unknown. There is a concrete reason for dividing what is now in place and a
possible future development. She thinks the protections are in place in the
existing process for future developments.
To put something in place would constrain the planners when they are dealing
with the different developments. It needs to be the same for all.
In regard to TPR, there was a submittal on this in the record and there is no
problems with it. Also, regarding supply and demand, there is information in
the record, and she also read a document in this regard. When there is
oversupply, service levels are impacted.
If they look at destination resorts which are here already, the Board should
decide whether it is appropriate for the County to match State and other county
Code, to allow more flexibility regarding overnight units.
Commissioner Baney asked if a destination resort could come in today and ask
for more units, and Thornburgh if it survives. Mr. Groves said it depends on
whether the destination CMP is still alive, they would have to amend their
request. If they came in with a new one, they would have to go through the
whole process again. There is no scenario where they would not have to show
the impacts, and it would go to a hearing and at least a Hearings Officer.

Chair Unger asked for deliberations. He said that SR requested it be left open.
Commissioner Baney feels there has been ample opportunity for this. The other
hearings also presented an opportunity. It should not be left open for this
reason. Commissioner DeBone noted that there was opportunity to participate
and agrees that this request be denied. Chair Unger agreed.
The group took a five-minute break at this time (11:45 a.m.).
Chair Unger asked if they can move forward today. Ms. Groves said he would
have to revise Exhibit C.
Commissioner Baney asked about a previous discussion regarding the
emergency clause and the 90-day adoption period. Ms. Craghead said that in
toweled years there has not been a request for an appeal during that timeframe.
There is the potential of shortening the time, adopting by emergency and
making the effective date in thirty days, but a finding is necessary.
Commissioner Baney stated that this does not allow for more density and there
are firm rules in place, with the CMP process and others. She understands
supply and demand, but this complies with the law. She is not supportive of
extensions in the past because the units need to be built in a certain period of
time. She thinks this goes the right direction.
Commissioner DeBone says this was vetted by the State, and it has taken years
for it to come on line in the eastern counties. He supports proceeding with this.
Chair Unger also supports this. Goal 8 was authorized by the State years ago
and Deschutes County took a more conservative approach. The extensions
were allowed due to needs for flexibility and the economy, and wanting to
make the resorts successful. When the rule was written, there were a lot of
ways to go. A lot has to do with the economy and how resorts operate. It will
help them to move forward with their next steps. This keeps a level playing
field with the urban areas.
Chair Unger said that counties have a 90-day adoption and effect rule, and cities
have this for 30 days. The emergency clause is requested so they can move
forward more quickly. He feels 90 days is a very long time and 30 days is
appropriate.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, April 29, 2013
Page 12 of 15
Commissioner DeBone is hesitant regarding emergency clauses, but does not
understand why it is 90 days. People can petition within 30 days.
Commissioner Baney feels this is a good compromise. It is land use and it can
be contentious.
The Board closed the hearing, and directed staff to draft the Ordinance and set
an emergency clause with an effective date of thirty days.
