MONDAY, JUNE 6, 2016
Present were Commissioners Alan Unger, Tammy Baney and Anthony DeBone.
Also present were Tom Anderson, County Administrator; Erik Kropp, Deputy
County Administrator; and Dave Doyle and John Laherty, County Counsel.
Attending for a portion of the meeting were Nick Lelack, Peter Gutowsky and other
Community Development staff; Whitney Hale, Communications; and two other
citizens including Ted Shorack of The Bulletin.
Chair Unger opened the meeting at 1:30 p.m.
Discussion of Letter of Support for the FORGE Project.
David Stowe of the Ardell Group explained that they are a national geothermal
laboratory that is one of a consortium of partners attempting to place in this
area. The principal partner is the Northwest National Lab. Enhanced
geothermal work would be done for Phase II. They are competing with four
other teams and will be presenting to the DOE tomorrow in Washington DC.
Phase II lasts two years and after that is the final selection process. They have
to refine the geologic model and their plan, and begin stimulation work. Phase
II is funded at $1 0 million a year. Phase III is the award and will involve one
team.

Commissioner DeBone said that the he would like to change some of the
wording regarding Newberry. Mr. Stowe would like to show strong community
support. Commissioner Baney would like to limit it to just Phase II at this point
so the Board has a chance to ask more questions about Phase III.

DEBONE: Second.

3. Discussion of CDD Work Plan for FY 2016-17.
Nick Lelack said that the work plan evolves each year. They include all their
performance measures this year. Next year they want to show the results of
achieving the measures. They want this to reflect all that they do in the
department.
An overarching goal is to create a financial plan to establish reserve fund
policies, and how to measure performance to create benchmarks. That way
they can track performance and fees. Tim Burg is unable to attend but Mr.
Lelack wanted to point out his importance in supporting the department. Mr.
Burg figures out how to mine the data. He will expand the on-line subscription
services in the future, to include agendas for the Historic Landmarks
Commission and the Planning Commission, as well as Hearings Officers'
decisions and other information.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, June 6, 2016 Page 2 of 9
Peter Gutowsky stated regarding long-range planning, the Goal 11 exception
and all the work done on the marijuana issue. This took an extraordinary
amount of staff time. Current planning includes unprecedented land use
volume, which is getting more complex all the time. Staff is handling this well
and he feels they have right -sized to do so. Turnaround time is slower than they
want, but with increased staffing this will improve. They want to be as efficient
as possible.
As he looks ahead, there are projects that may conclude soon. One is the Bend
UGB amendment; DSL's RFP on planning for large lot industrial traded sector;
plan amendment for a zone change for the eastern part of areas for the next
round of Bend UGB expansion; and solar developments that may end up
located at up to four sites here. This is a newer industry and an indicator of
things to come. There is high demand regarding housing and what people are
exploring are not the usual types of property development, especially in the
margin areas.
Mr. Lelack said that in table 1 of the memorandum, a small project was added
to the work plan, for existing permanent dwellings to be used as hardship
dwellings in a certain zone. The Planning Commission supports this being on
the work plan. There are four possible new items for the work plan.
As they look at the landscape management zone, there is a question as to
whether it should be 1/8 or 1/4 mile. The greenhouses do not require a building
permit so this was put in the marijuana ordinances. This would try to
incorporate old concepts with some new information. Some landscape
management issues now are holding up building permits.
Randy Scheid said that their greatest accomplishments are maintaining
reasonable timeframes on planning review. They added new people but are
doing much through increased efficiencies due to the huge increase in volume.
They are trained to do several kinds of inspections due to having specific
certifications.
There are four field inspectors that are within retirement age, and he wants to
maintain institutional knowledge. They have a good reputation in the industry
and want this to go forward. The new FTE's for next year will help with this.
They are well over their ten stops per day. They don't want to try to push this
further because they want to keep the quality up. The agricultural building
exemption issue comes up, but there has to be an agricultural use with the land.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session
Monday, June 6, 2016 Page 3 of 9
They are also providing classes, the latest having to do with solar, which was
well attended by people from many other counties. The idea is to gain
consistency throughout jurisdictions. They are taking Sisters CDD duties over
soon, and the County department already handles La Pine. They are talking
with Redmond about this as well. The department went to smaller vehicles to
save on fuel and the carbon footprint. They meet the State requirements for
plan review, as defined in Statute.
Commissioner DeBone asked if there are big houses going up or is there any
affordable housing. Mr. Scheid said that theirs are usually custom homes, but
did receive an interest for worker housing in Terrebonne, to use container
houses. These can be built to meet code. It is not prescriptive but is totally
engineered, and this has been done for years around the world. They still have
to meet the R -value and square footage. They could end up with one or two
models that will work. The square footage went down to 1,500 square feet
during the recession but now it is up to 3,000 again. Mr. Lelack said there is a
lot of interest in tiny houses but with only one structure allowed per lot, they
won't see much of this. Some are being brought in and placed on properties
without permits.
Chair Unger said there is so much money involved, making this a huge challenge.
Lori Furlong stated that customer service is a challenge when they are busy, and
they are pushing the envelope. This is hard on staff. Some are in training
mode. Code enforcement is difficult as well, with two new staff. Some people
have unrealistic expectations about what this means. Sisters will be a big
challenge, getting staff established there. The City's one person who is familiar
with operations there is gone for most of the month. Mr. Lelack said that theirs
is an archaic system and difficult to navigate, but they are very appreciative.
There are customers who are anxious for the County to be there, and the
contractors are positive about this.
Code enforcement is beyond busy. They are at 220 cases this year so far. They
had a volunteer who is phasing out but is training another. They have a
temporary employee helping with scanning, mailings and filing.
Chair Unger asked what is triggering the complaints. Ms. Furlong said as the
population grows, it is getting more crowded and some from urban areas do not
want to be close to anyone else. Marijuana has been an issue as well. There
will be a lot of calls and complaints on this as it is refined. There are obviously
illegal grows happening as well.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, June 6, 2016 Page 4 of 9
Commissioner DeBone stated that some want to know why they have not been
approved yet. Ms. Furlong said it has to do with the sheer volume of business
plus having new staff. Some people are going to retire in the near future and
they need to have trained people to replace them.
Todd Cleveland said that he did hire a full-time person a year ago who was very
experienced. This work has gone up 25% over last year. There are site
evaluations of vacant lots, the Miller Tree Farm and other developments, plus
dealing with systems that need help. They work with DEQ on south County
Goal 11 issues, including the financial assistance portion that is running out of
money. They may need to reconvene the Financial Assistance Committee to
look at this.
Recently they started dealing with CRAFT -3 that deals with clean water loans.
They want to do a pilot project here, to provide loans for septic system repairs.
It will be for the entire County and the City of Bend. Some of the City
properties are close enough to connect to the sewer system but it is very costly
to the property owner.
Commissioner DeBone said the CRAFT -3 program is through the State. This
will be addressed at the legislature regarding grants. Commissioner Baney
stated that it was part of the AOC Business Oregon component. Mr. Lelack
said the newest Planning Commissioner is involved in this. Mr. Cleveland
added that DEQ is evaluating some of the newer technology, which might be
less expensive up front but more costly to maintain.
Commissioner DeBone asked about the Harper Bridge situation. He wants to
be sure that this is moving along. Mr. Anderson said that he, Chris Doty and
CDD are looking into this but it is very challenging. The main issue is working
with the neighborhoods, but at some point, they have to decide something.
Commissioner DeBone noted that the County does not want to take the lead but
there are too many players who will not cooperate. Chair Unger said that traffic
is safer for now but he knows this needs more work.
Commissioner Baney asked if the regulations imposed on marijuana end up
being challenged, if there is a coordinated effort on how to deal with this. She
wanted to know if they continue to move forward or hold off with permitting
and inspections. Mr. Lelack said this is a tough question because it would be
appealed to LUBA, and they would not decide anything this year.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, June 6, 2016 Page 5 of 9
If the opt out is rescinded and it is remanded, he does not know how they would
handle what is going on. It would be too late to opt out then. They are waiting
to see if there is an appeal, but all they may get is a notice of intent to appeal
without knowing the substance or arguments. Mr. Doyle said there is a
timeframe for submission and scheduling an argument before LUBA, and time
for LUBA to decide. If there are no appeals, it will involve code enforcement.
If they do second reading and effectiveness is ninety days out, there is nothing
on the books to deal with during that time. Mr. Lelack said that a remanded
decision means they cannot proceed. However, with the marijuana issue it is
allowed during that time. It would be a lawful use if not appealed and they get
permissions from the state, it may be a legal nonconforming use. Mr. Doyle
said if there are no regulations in place, there is little they can do.
Commissioner Baney wants to know what to tell people. Chair Unger said
there is risk out there and nothing will be certain for a while.
4. Discussion of Pronghorn Improvement Agreement Amendment.
Peter Gutowsky explained the proposed draft improvement agreement
amendment. The site plan modification is under review at this time.
Essentially, the request is to build the 104 hotel units as one phase instead of
two. There is a detailed timeline, and they want to start on building permits
within thirty days. They have a tight schedule and want the occupancy to be
able to begin no later than November 2017.
One provision is to post an additional bond to cover the difference in costs. The
agreement would require a percentage split of reimbursements, and the schedule
of drawdowns keeps the County protected during the process. The $2.5 million
offered is felt by staff to be adequate. Nick Lelack said that the funding
includes the soft costs as well as the hard costs.
Mr. Gutowsky stated that they hope to finalize the agreement after it has been
fine-tuned, and should be ready by June 20 for Board approval. Mr. Lelack
stated that they were going to complete the first hotel within a year, and the
second within two years; but they want to do it all now.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, June 6, 2016 Page 6 of 9
Laura Craska-Cooper and others involved with the development (Michael
Kosmin and Ralph Giffin) were present. Ms. Craska-Cooper explained, via a
PowerPoint presentation, how Pronghorn has done market studies and
concluded it would be advantageous to have just one Phase that includes both
previously planned phases. They are doing a site plan modification to cover the
small additional area required.
Mr. Kosmin said that the market demand was there for all of the facility and
they will not need more land. It will be 70,000 square feet, three stories in a
lodge style. It is designed for lock -out use where they could split a unit
between customers unless someone wants the entire unit.
A sheet detailing the numbers was then reviewed. There was additional work
required due to lava tubes beneath the structure. She explained the security
being offered via bonds, and the County also holds a deed of trust. The sharing
agreement is not a new idea. They bring in a maximum guaranteed price from
the contractors ($11 million), and the bond and security is adjusted with the
exposure. There is actually better security with this amended agreement. They
have a very tight timeframe for different parts of the project. There also are
incentives for the builder to do this work under budget and/or under cost.
Transient lodging tax would bring in another $200,000 for one and one-half
years for the additional units being ahead of schedule.
5. Other Items.
Whitney Hale talked about the final slides for the State of the County
presentation. There will be limited time available, about three or four minutes
per slide.
Mr. Anderson asked if anyone is going to NACo this year, in Long Beach.
Commissioner Baney stated she would like to attend.
Commissioner DeBone said there was a proposal to fill a seat at EDCO to
replace Steve Hultburg. They are trying to look for balance. Josh Newton has
been recommended. The Board felt this was a good match, and the
appointment letter can be on the next consent agenda.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Work Session Monday, June 6, 2016 Page 7 of 9
There is an EDCO meeting at Crosswater tomorrow with 60 or more people
attending. He thinks there will be one or two people from the Sunriver
Chamber attending.
Mr. Anderson said that Alana Hughson of COVA said that perhaps an
agreement could be developed to work on this further. He has not yet
responded to this. He has not mentioned the $10,000 set aside to help the
Sunriver Chamber move forward on clarifying their mission.
Tom Anderson said that the City of Bend want to pass an ordinance regarding
climate change issues. He does not see the harm in observing, but not becoming
an active partner. Commissioner Baney feels that what can be done within the
County is being done already. Chair Unger agreed, and said that he does not feel
an ordinance or policy choice is not necessary. Commissioner DeBone does not
want to see staff having to attend. Mr. Gutowsky said he attended a conference
on climate change and it was very intense. The business community and citizens
had a lot of concerns about how this was being approached. It needs to be more
from the bottom up and not driven by policy. He is sensitive about CDD being
involved since many citizens are their clients. Someone can watch to see where
this is going, but he warned against CDD involvement.
Commissioner Baney said that perhaps James Lewis (Property Manager) could
attend. Commissioner DeBone feels it is very political and specific to Bend at
this point. The Board decided that it is premature for the County to participate in
this process, but would appreciate hearing on the progress of the group. The
budget and work plan have just been finalized and there is no time or resources
available to do this.
Mr. Anderson stated that the City of Bend no longer pays dues to the Bend
Chamber of Commerce. The Bulletin has asked other governmental entities
about this, but not the County. The County maintains association with lots of
organizations. He feels the County should not propose to change this since they
are generally not subject to advocating from the Chambers on any issues.
Commissioner Baney wants there to be a firm distinction between the Chamber
and their PAC. The PAC revenue is not from membership dues. She feels some
Chamber members are blurring the lines, however, and it is not going to benefit
them long-term.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Nick Lelack, AICP, Director
DATE: June 1, 2016
SUBJECT: Draft CDD Annual Report and Work Plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-17 / Work Session
The purpose of this work session is to present the draft Community Development Department (CDD) Annual
Report and Work Plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2016-17 (July 1, 2016 to June 30, 2017). A public hearing on the Work
Plan is scheduled for June 22.
BACKGROUND
Each spring, CDD prepares an Annual Report and Work Plan describing annual accomplishments and a proposed
work plan for the coming fiscal year. The work plan describes the most important objectives and proposed
projects in each CDD division based on:
1. The Board of County Commissioners' (BOCC) annual goals and policies;
2. Carry-over projects from the current or prior years;
3. Changes in state law;
4. Public comments; and
5. Grants/funding sources.
The work plan is presented in draft form to our major customer groups, including the Central Oregon Builders
Association (COBA) and the Central Oregon Association of Realtors (COAR), the Planning Commission, the
Historic Landmarks Commission, interest groups, and is distributed with a request for comments to cities and
the general public.
The memorandum summarizes the department's accomplishments over the past year, Planning Commission and
Historic Landmarks Commission (HLC) recommendations, and the draft work plan for next fiscal year.
DRAFT WORK PLAN
CDD's FY 2016-17 Annual Report and Work Plan improved over the 2015-16 document. Specifically, the new Work
Plan includes an executive summary, CDD's 2016-17 Performance Measures, and incorporates elements from the
CDD Budget Document to provide a complete report of the department for internal and external customers, and
staff. The 2017-18 Work Plan will further expand to include reports on the performance measures and more.
PLANNING COMMISSION
The Planning Commission held a work session on April 28 and two public hearings on May 12 and 26 to gain
public input, discuss, and make a recommendation to the BOCC, regarding the Planning Division FY 2016-17
Work Plan. The Commission unanimously recommended approval of the draft Work Plan to the Board, including
adding a recommendation from a member of the public, John McIntyre, to initiate the first project listed in the
table below pertaining to a text amendment to allow buildings to be used as hardship dwellings in the EFU zone
consistent with state law (County Code is currently more restrictive and only allows manufactured homes and
RVs). The Commission forwarded the other citizen requested to projects to the BOCC for consideration but
without a recommendation.
1.
Table 1— Citizen Requests
izen,Requested Projects, w Level of Complexity ,,
Initiate text amendment to allow existing buildings to be used as hardship
dwellings in the EFU zoning district.
2. Establish community/organization notification system of land use applications in
specific areas.
3. Review and consider amending the Landscape Management Zone to address
review processes and applicability.
4. Create a County ombudsman to facilitate resolutions to neighbor disputes and
similar situations.
Minor

The Commission also recommended the Board consider adding additional long range planning staff in the FY
2017-18 budget to increase capacity for long range planning projects.
The Commission reviewed the projects listed in Table 2 below that are either (1) in process or (2) carried over
from FY 2015-16 and likely to be initiated in FY 2016-17 in developing its recommendations. The Commission
supports these projects remaining in the Work Plan and recognizes that they, together with new projects
identified in the draft Work Plan, consume all available planning resources pending the following:
• Implementation of (and potential amendments to) regulations pertaining to medical and recreational
marijuana;
• Completion of Bend's Urban Growth Boundary amendment and Bend Airport Master Plan update;
• Timing of applications to amend the Redmond Urban Growth Boundary for a regional large -lot industrial
campus;
• Status and decisions regarding work tasks associated with Oregon spotted frog.
The following describes resource requirements for projects listed in Table 2.
• A minor rating equates to 2-4 months to complete and 0.25-0.75 full time equivalent (FTE) of long range
planning staff.
• A moderate rating equates to 4-8 months to complete and 0.5-1.0 FTE or more.
2
• A significant rating spans 6-12 months or longer and requires 1.0-2.0 FTE with possible consultants. Some
projects identified as "minor" can evolve and extend the amount of resources and projected timeframe
significantly. The resources required for several projects therefore may change depending on different
factors.

CDD ANNUAL REPORT AND WORK PLAN 2016-17
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
FY 2016-17 WORK PLAN
11 I
The most significant issue for the fourth consecutive year will be to
maintain high customer service levels with sustained increased levels of
development activity in the rural county and in the cities of La Pine,
Sisters, and Redmond, while maintaining appropriate staffing levels
across all divisions and programs to meet business demands. High
priority CDD goals are reflected in the department's Goals and
Performance Measures section of this work plan.
CDD has historically been a fee -supported department with the
exception of the Great Recession. Permit volumes have increased across
all divisions and programs and, combined with new and expanded
building services contracts, are resulting in revenue stabilization. CDD
began restoring its reserve funds in FY 2015, continued into FY 2016, and
reserve funds are projected to increase in FY 2017. Reserve funds allow
CDD to provide a consistent level of high quality customer services
during various economic cycles and seasons. Fee adjustments are
proposed for FY 2017 based on the FY 2015-16 Comprehensive User Fee
Study prepared by a consultant to ensure full cost recovery, the accurate
cost of services (some fees are proposed to be increased and others
reduced), and to build reserve funds.
CDD's fees are proposed to increase to cover inflationary adjustments,
with a few fees increasing or decreasing by larger percentages to cover the
actual cost of service. In addition, the code compliance fee on building
permits is proposed to increase for the first time in over a decade to cover
the actual costs to administer this program.
The FY 2017 budget assumes permit volumes and revenue will continue
to increase across all divisions. The FY 2017 staffing increases are to add
two Building Inspector III positions, one Code Enforcement Technician
(limited duration), one Associate Planner (limited duration), and one
Administrative Secretary position. CDD continues to reposition itself for
strong long-term financial health, continuously operating more efficiently,
carrying no debt, all while maintaining a tremendously positive culture and
providing outstanding customer service.

CDD ANNUAL REPORT AND WORK PLAN 2016-17
COORDINATEDSERVICES
OVERVIEW The Coordinated Services Division provides service to customers at the
main office in Bend, as well as at satellite offices in Redmond, La Pine
and Sisters. The Division consists of seven permit technicians and two
code enforcement technicians. The goals ofthe Division areto ensure
minimal wait times, provide accurate information to the public, and
ensure the efficient operation ofthe front counter and coordination
among all divisions. Staif also performs basic buiiding plan reviews and
addressing in the rural county and City of Redmond under contract.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS I. Customer service is the top priority for Coordinated Services staif
and they have maintained that high level of service during the
increase in activity and while training new staif.
J. In coordination with Information Services (15) and lnformatfon
Technology (IT), Coordinated Services continued to assess equipment
used by all CDD staff to ensure that operational needs were met. The
team developed project lists that will enhance service, staff efficiency
and communications. Projects included:
a. Providing tablets to building arid envirorimental health inspectors
and code enforcement technicians in the field to provide real-time
inspection results; making data available to inspectors in the field;
and improving communication, photography and printing tools;
b. Providing iinkages to historical documents where parcel numbers
have changed;
c. Creating new types of onhine permit applications; and
d. Reviewing business processes and procedures and making several
adjustments to accommodate and fully utilize Accela.
3. Accela
a. Continued to create efficiencies using the Accela permitting
software. As the software evolves and new tools become
available, Deschutes County continues to be a statewide leader
in offering training opportunities to our customers and regional
agency partners using the software.
b. Deschutes County has created an Accela ePermitting Advisory
Group that will be looking at the future of State ePermitting
systems and how it can best fit the needs of the jurisdictions
statewide. This is both an opportunity to discuss system issues
and to offer suggestions for improvements to meet Deschutes
County's needs. The State has been supportive of this group and
its suggestions.
CDD ANNUAL REPORT AND WORK PLAN 20 6- 7 1
COORDINATED SERVICES, CONTINUED
c. As part of the transition to Accela, a custom program that
Coordinated Services has been using for operation and
maintenance of septic systems, did not fit under the
umbrella of the new system. The Information Technology
Department (IT) has created a new custom program for staff
to use. This will enable staff to send out timely monthly
billing statements to maintenance providers, track reports
that have been submitted and keep better track of those
septic systems that are out of compliance.
WORK PLAN 1. Coordinate and lead training for the new Accela user interface
that will be introduced during the summer of 2016 for County,
Sisters and Redmond staff. This new interface will be a significant
change from the current interface. Deschutes County is proposed
to be an early user of this new interface by the State, so this
training will be critical for all staff.
2. Plan for the opening of a 2017 one-stop development services
shop with the City of Redmond, and the transfer of the Sisters
Building Program back to the County.
3. Continue to coordinate and conduct public outreach and
education on Accela and all related elements to increase customer
use of ePermitting, and encourage submittal of applications for all
participating jurisdictions at any participating Community
Development Department.
4. Serve on statewide ePermitting committee, participate in national
Accela conference, and pursue other actions to ensure Accela
meets Deschutes County's needs.
5. Perform addressing duties in rural Deschutes County and for the
City of Redmond.
6. Continue to cross train permit technicians to perform simple plan
reviews, and participate in statewide permit technician training
programs and Central Oregon Planners Network Training.
7. Achieve 25% of all permits being submitted electronically, with
the exception of Planning applications (the capability does not

2015 DESCHUTES COUNTY COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT REPORT
BACKGROUND
2015 COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
CURRENT PLANNING
CDD ANNUAL REPORT AND WORK PLAN 2016-17
Statewide Planning Goal 1, Citizen Involvement, requires cities and
counties to create a citizen involvement program that provides
opportunities for community participation in land use planning
processes and decisions. Land use legislation, policies and
implementation measures made by Oregonians over 40 years ago
helped shape Oregon's urban and rural environments. Likewise, choices
made today will ultimately shape these areas in the future. Successful
land use planning occurs through an open and public process that
provides room for information gathering, analysis and vigorous debate.
Deschutes County's Community Involvement program is defined in
Section 1.2 of the Comprehensive Plan. This chapter identifies the
County Planning Commission as the committee for citizen involvement.
It also contains the County's Community Involvement goal and
corresponding five policies that comply with Goal 1.
This report briefly discusses the noteworthy community involvement
actions undertaken by the Planning Division in 2015. The report is
intended to provide county residents and stakeholders with a tool to
assess its effectiveness and offer additional suggestions the County can
utilize to ensure that its diverse communities remain actively involved in
land use planning discussions.
Administering the zoning code requires the Current Planning Section to
processes individual land use applications, zoning review and sign -off
for building and septic permits. Current planners maintain legally
prescribed turnaround times on land use applications (150 -days) and
provide customer service through assistance at the front counter,
phone conversations, and appointments. Phone messages are returned
within 24 hours.
Monthly Update
In 2014, CDD utilized the County's website as a primary tool of public
communication and information for public meetings; pending land use
applications; long-range planning projects; posting the CDD Update; and
providing links to current and past BOCC and Planning Commission
meetings. In addition, CDD coordinated with the County's
Communications Director to publish press releases and announce new

communication and information for public meetings; pending land use
applications; long-range planning projects; posting the CDD Update; and
providing links to current and past BOCC and Planning Commission
meetings. In addition, CDD coordinated with the County's
Communications Director to publish press releases and announce new
documents, etc. on the County's Facebook page. CDD also coordinates

Marijuana Regulations
On March 17, 2014, the BOCC adopted Ordinance No. 2014-008
establishing a moratorium on the operation of any marijuana dispensary
in any area subject to the jurisdiction of Deschutes County. This
ordinance included a sunset clause resulting in the repeal of the
ordinance on May 1, 2015. In anticipation of this repeal, CDD initiated
amendments to the Deschutes County Code (DCC) to define, permit, and
establish standards for medical marijuana dispensaries. A public hearing
before the Planning Commission was held on March 12, with
recommendations forwarded to the BOCC. The BOCC approved the
proposed amendments in May with changes that include not permitting
dispensaries in the Exclusive Farm Use zone, limiting the hours of
operation to 10am-7pm, and requiring dispensaries converting to
recreational marijuana sales to receive site plan review approval.
On August 12 the BOCC held a public hearing to receive testimony
regarding whether or not to "opt out" of marijuana land uses, as
permitted by HB 3400, by establishing a temporary moratorium. The
BOCC deliberated on August 17 and chose not to opt out of any uses at
that time in favor of exploring regulations of marijuana land uses. The
Planning Commission conducted public hearings on November 5 and 12
to take testimony on amendments to DCC to regulate marijuana
businesses in unincorporated areas.
Planning Commission
The Deschutes County Planning Commission held 17 meetings in 2015
discussing an assortment of issues, including:
• Agricultural Lands
• Code Enforcement Amendments
• Eagle Crest Text Amendments (overnight lodging)
• Goal 11 Exception for Southern Deschutes County
• HB 2229 (Big Look Bill)

RE: Pronghorn Improvement Agreement Amendment
The draft Improvement Agreement Amendment (IAA) relates to the construction and security of
the required improvements for Pronghorn Destination Resort which are comprised of 104
overnight lodging units. Pursuant to the 2012 Improvement Agreement (Document No. 2012-
671), the required improvements were to be constructed in two phases. Pursuant to County file
No. 247 -16 -000164 -MC (a Site Plan Modification), Pronghorn Intangibles has sought site plan
approval to construct the required improvements in one phase. The construction timeline will
commence within 30 days of receipt of building permit. The certificate of occupancy deadline is
November 30, 2017. In addition, Pronghorn Intangibles LCC will provide the County with a $2.5
million dollar bond to offer additional protections for the County, given the difference between
the funds held by the County and the total cost of construction, including soft costs.
The Board of County Commissioners will formally consider the IAA at their regular meeting on
Monday, June 20, 2016.

NOW THEREFORE,
AGREEMENT
IT IS HEREBY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN THE PARTIES above mentioned, for and in
consideration of the mutual promises hereinafter stated, as follows:
1. Amendment Conditioned Upon Site Plan Modification. The parties agree that despite
the execution of this Agreement, it shall not become effective unless and until such time as
the County Planning Department has issued the Site Plan Modification.
2. Recitals/Definitions. The Recitals to this Agreement set forth above are hereby
incorporated herein as if fully set out, shall constitute contractual provisions and are not
mere recitals. Capitalized terms used without definition herein shall have the meaning given
them in the Improvement Agreement.
3. Real Property Description. The real property subject to this Agreement is described in
the Improvement Agreement.
4. Exhibits. The exhibits listed below and attached to this Agreement are hereby incorporated
herein by reference:
4.1
estimate.
Exhibit A - Depiction and Plans for Required Improvements, including cost
4.2 Exhibit B - Deschutes County Site Plan approval, File No.
5. Phase Consolidation/Timeline for Construction of Required Improvements.
5.1 The Improvement Agreement is hereby modified to provide that Phases 1 and 2 are
hereby consolidated. All references to Phase 1 are hereby amended to include Phase
2, and all references to Phase 2 are hereby deleted.
5.2 Section 5.4 of the Improvement Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety as follows, and the balance of the Improvement Agreement is hereby
amended to the extent necessary to conform to the following:
{00061460;4}
Construction Phase
Commencement
Deadline
Within 30 days of receipt of Building
permit
Completion of Foundation, September 30, 2016
installation of electrical/plumbing
chases/utilities within in building
Completion of framing for December 31, 2016
building
Completion of installation of
mechanical, electrical and
plumbing infrastructure
throughout building
April 17, 2017
Certificate of Occupancy Granted November 30, 2017
As the timeline depicted above (the "Timeline") demonstrates, Owner shall cause the
Required Improvements to be designed, constructed, inspected and receive occupancy approval
from the County and/or the State of Oregon not later than November 30, 2017 ("Completion
Date"), unless extended by mutual agreement of the Parties.
6. Trust Account Releases.
6.1 Section 17 of the Improvement Agreement is hereby amended to provide that the
Trust Account may be used for construction of all of the Required Improvements
(i.e., not just Phase 1) in accordance with its terms.
6.2 Section 17.4 of the Improvement Agreement is hereby amended to provide that the
"Proportional Contributions" for the Parties, as set forth in Section 17.4, shall be
determined by reference to the sum of (a) the GMP for all of the Required
Improvements; (b) Soft Costs (as defined below) for the Required Improvements;
and (c) hard costs for the Required Improvements already incurred, resulting in a
calculation as follows:
(GMP + Soft Costs + expended hard costs) - Trust Account = Shortage
And resulting in Proportional percentage allocations as follows:
Proportional Contribution for County: Trust Account/GMP + Soft Costs + expended hard costs
Proportional Contribution for Owner: Shortage/GMP + Soft Costs + expended hard costs
6.3 Section 17.19 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
Owner has already expended significant hard costs, which will be included in the denominator for
calculation of the Proportional Contribution pursuant to Section 17.4, and Owner may apply for
reimbursement from the Trust Fund for the Proportional Contribution from the County for these
expenses in the first draw request. The Parties acknowledge that there are significant non -
construction costs involved in the completion of the Requirement Improvements, including, but not
limited to land use planning, design and engineering, inspections, permits, fees and cost
(collectively, the "Soft Costs"). The Soft Costs will be included in project costs to be reimbursed
pursuant to this Section 17, subject to the Proportional Contribution calculation in Section 5.2. The
first draw request will include a majority of the Soft Costs, which have already been incurred.
Since a portion of the Soft Costs are in the form of building permit fees and transportation impact
fees to be paid to Deschutes County, Owner shall have the option to have these fees offset against
the next draw to be taken under this Section 17 rather than paying them and seeking
reimbursement.
7. Security. In addition to the deed of trust referenced in Section 14 of the Improvement
Agreement recorded May 30, 2013 in the official records of Deschutes County, Oregon, as
Document No. 2013-22114, the Owner shall provide the County with a bond (the "Bond")
issued by (the "Surety") in the amount of Two Million Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00) further securing Owner's obligations under the
Improvement Agreement as amended hereby. The Bond shall be in a form reasonably
{00061460;4}
acceptable to County legal counsel, and shall provide that the County may draw on the
Bond upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Improvement Agreement. In
the event that the Bond has an expiration date that is prior to the date of full satisfaction of
Owner's obligations under the Improvement Agreement, the Bond shall require the Surety
to provide the County with not less than thirty (30) days advance written notice of any
decision not to renew the Bond. In the event that County receives such notice prior to
satisfaction of all of Owner's obligations under the Improvement Agreement, the failure to
renew the Bond shall be an Event of Default under the Improvement Agreement, allowing
County to draw on the Bond, unless Owner timely provides alternative security reasonably
acceptable to the County.
8. Default. Section 35.1 of the Improvement Agreement is hereby amended and restated to
read as follows:
Upon a failure of the Owner to comply with the requirements of this Agreement, such breach shall
constitute an `Event of Default" unless within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of the breach
Owner promptly commences and thereafter diligently prosecutes a cure to completion; provided,
however, if the breach is of such a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within thirty days,
such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such additional time as is reasonably necessary
to allow Owner to complete the cure of the breach. A breach that results from actions or events
beyond the reasonable control of Owner shall not constitute an Event of Default unless Owner fails
to take all reasonable steps with reasonable diligence to cure such breach.
9. Effect of Amendment. Except to the extent amended pursuant to this Agreement, the
Improvement Agreement remains in full force and effect, unmodified.
10. Effective Date. Notwithstanding mutual execution of this Agreement, this Agreement
shall not become effective until recorded.
