George Read, Director of the Community Development Department, read an
introductory statement giving an overview of the Outdoor Lighting
Ordinance. He stated that the ordinance, adopted in 1994, requires new
lighting fixtures to comply, but the problem is fixtures that existed prior to
that date.
Committee member Blaze Cachola then spoke. He indicated he would like
to see the dark night sky preserved, as light pollution has become a problem
in many areas.
Commissioner DeWolf asked if the cities have been requested to adopt the
ordinance. Blaze replied that they have not; they hope to have it through the
County before approaching the cities. He explained the nature of the printed
literature, which will be distributed through insertion into the Bulletin
newspaper and through other avenues. He asked the Board if the County
could budget and contribute $5,000, the cost of the insert in the Bulletin.
Commissioners DeWolf and Luke indicated that it cannot be included in the
budget to be adopted today, but perhaps it could be handled as a video
lottery grant item. The Board said they would investigate other options.
Chair Linda Swearingen stated perhaps this could be a segment in the
"Inside Deschutes County" video newsmagazine.
David Natowski stated that he had a problem with a neighbor's offensive
lighting fixture, and checked on the compliance of the utility companies.
The "Source" did an article, as did the Redmond "Spokesman", and other
media has agreed to do press releases. He said Cascade Natural Gas would
do a feature article, as will Midstate Electric in their Ruralite magazine. He
indicated that Pacific Power did not want to include information due to
weight limitations on their mail, and that Central Electric Cooperative
would not because of the potential controversy. He explained that most
utility company lighting is now in compliance, and the group would like to
see the County continue to fund enforcement.
Jan drumm? Of Terrebonne said that she had problems with neighboring
lights as well. She assisted in contacting local vendors and asked them to
supply complying products to public; and the results have been good so far.

Jim Kelte said that he coordinated speaking engagements with various
service clubs to get information out to the public; he also coordinates with
the media.
Martin winch stated that he oversees information on fixtures and the
website. He said that many people don't realize how bad their lighting
fixtures are. He explained that shielded lighting has gotten a good response
— this is a low cost cover to retrofit over existing lights.
He said that Bend Sheet Metal is interested in making a prototype of the
shield, which would run about $40, and would be easily installed by the
owner. He explained that high-pressure sodium is cheaper to operate than a
mercury vapor light, and provides more efficient lighting. He said that the
group used the display at the recent home show, which gave an overview of
the various lighting options, the cost, and availability; and they are also
using a website to make information available to the public.
Rick Kelley of CDD said that he visited all County properties, including
those inside the city limits of Bend and Redmond. For the County to come
into compliance, there will be a cost to the County. (See Exhibit A, a list of
the location of the lighting fixtures and the associated costs, attached)
Commissioner DeWolf asked why those within the city limits should be
changed if it is not required.
Kelley replied that the County needs to be proactive and lead by example.
B.J. Johnson of Community Development spoke about enforcement. (See
Exhibit B, attached.) She said the group would return in August to give an
update of code enforcement procedures.
George Read pointed out that everyone needs to be treated in the same
manner.
Commissioner DeWolf asked if this is a policy; B. J. Johnson replied that is
it a procedure. Commissioner DeWolf asked if Community Development is
going to ask the Board to adopt this as a policy for enforcement reasons; B.
J. Johnson answered that they are.

Page 3 of Page 28
Commissioner DeWolf stated that in that case, this needs to be adopted
before enforcement, and that Community Development should work with
Legal Counsel to draft the appropriate document prior to August 31.
Chair Linda Swearingen indicated that the retrofit of lighting fixtures on
County properties should begin as soon as possible.
George Read then introduced another committee member, Betty Costello,
who has a background in the media.
1. Citizen input.
There was none offered.
Before the Board was a Public Hearing to Consider the Adoption of the
Deschutes County Fiscal Year 2000-01 Fee Schedule.
Susan Mayea of the Commissioners' Office stated that a few administrative
fees had been added to cover the cost of providing information on disk and
via e-mail. She also discussed a few minor changes in the fees of the Health
and Mental Health Departments.
Commissioner DeWolf asked a few questions about Community
Development's fees. A general discussion ensured between the Board,
George Read and Susan Mayea about certain charges and adjustments.
Commissioner Luke stated that the Department does a lot of work, and is
supported by fees; he further said that overall the fees are reasonable. He
asked about espresso booths; and explained that the cities don't bother
telling those business owners that they need a permit from the County before
setting up shop. He suggested that a letter to the cities be drafted to come
from the Board to advise them to have these businesses comply with County
rules.
George Read indicated agreement, and that some restaurants are ready to
open before they are advised the county needs to be involved.

Chair Linda Swearingen opened the public hearing to consider the adoption
of the fee schedule for Fiscal Year 2000-01.
William Kuhn, a citizen who lives on Sizemore Road, stated that he will be
bringing to the Board during the next few week evidence of a lack of
sufficient funds to fund the code enforcement division and the general
inspection division as they go out to take care of building sites. He said he
understands there is still no general fund money going to Community
Development, and encouraged the Board to consider adding general fund
dollars or raising fees to be able to take care of the enforcement and general
inspection divisions. This is a situation that needs to be resolved.
Being no further testimony offered, Chair Linda Swearingen then closed the
hearing.
LUKE: I move for adoption of the Fee Schedule for Fiscal Year 2000-
2001, with the adjustments brought before us today.
DEWOLF: I second.
VOTE: LUKE: Aye.
DEWOLF: Yes.
SWEARINGEN: Chair votes aye.
4. Before the Board was a Public Hearing to Consider Adoption of
Ordinance No. 2000-017, to Codify the Deschutes County
Comprehensive Plan as Title 23 (Now Known as PL -20)
Dave Leslie and Christy Morgan of Community Development explained that
this would merely codify the existing plan, and does not change it. Legal
Counsel Bruce White had indicated that an ordinance may not be necessary,
and is further reviewing the information.
Chair Linda Swearingen opened the public hearing. Being no further
response, Chair Swearingen then closed the hearing. She indicated this
would be continued until Wednesday, July 26th, 2000.

5. Before the Board was Consideration of Adoption of Text Amendment
File No. TA -00-1, a Proposed Amendment to the Text of the Deschutes
County Comprehensive Plan to Add an Eighth Plan Policy for Forest
Lands.
Damian Syrnyk of Community Development gave an overview of the
amendment, and distributed copies of the letters received thus far on this
issue, plus a copy of the proposed ordinance. He said this issue is not on a
tight time frame, and that the hearing could be opened today, and be
continued until a later date.
Chair Linda Swearingen asked how many people were in attendance to
testify on this item. (Three or four responded by raising their hands.)
SYRNYK:
The purpose of this amendment is to create a separate process so that an
owner can make application to the County to rezone property from forest use
to EFU. The purposes behind this are to address a situation where a resident
wants to build a residence outside the urban growth boundary, but doesn't
neatly fit into a farm land or forest land category. Under the comprehensive
plan are Forest Use 1 and Forest Use 2; FU -1 is the U.S. Forest Service and
large commercial holdings. The County did have Forest Use 3 in the past,
but in 1992 a lot of this category was collapsed into the FU -2 category.
DEWOLF:
Was this parcel in FU -3 prior to 1992, and did they have a right to build at
that point, but can't now?
SYRNYK:
It had been in an FU -3 use, and in 1992 the State legislature allowed a non -
forest dwelling; but that in 1993 the legislature passed a types of dwellings —
template analysis or lot of dwelling option. The last option was a large tract
dwelling - 240 acres in size; or 320 acres in size if bisected by County
property.
LUKE:
The legislature's decision had a lot to do with rangeland in eastern Oregon.
Minutes of Board Meeting
Wednesday, June 28, 2000
Includes 2000-01 Budget Adoption
and a Decision on Cook (Gentry Loop)
Page 6 of Page 28
SYRNYK:
They had to look at the soils, which must qualify as agricultural land, class 1
through 6; and that rangeland is normally class 6 land.
LUKE:
Is there is a combined EFU/Forest zone under LCDC rules?
SYRNYK:
There is none under County ordinance. County Planning discussed this issue
in April, and realized there may be those who want to develop more than
what is intended in this action. They looked at those F-2 properties that may
want to do this, and there are approximately about 76 tax lots, that are 40
acres or less in size, that might want to take this option. They don't know
when the properties were purchased or if they could apply to build under a
template; so of that group there may be a small number who will pursue it.
S WEARINGEN:
So 76 owners within 3,000 square miles may potentially want to do this.
SYRNYK:
Skyliners, the Inn of Seventh Mountain, Crosswater, and Widgi Creek were
approved before this legislation was passed, or were already eligible for
conditional use permit; and that nothing else has been approved since then
except those that fit through other criteria.
DEWOLF:
How many owned these properties after 1993?
SYRNYK:
I don't know.
LUKE:
If the property was purchased after 1993, the owner should have been aware
of what they were buying.

Page 7 of Page 28
SYRNYK:
They did look at this under the proposal before the Board; and that those
who bought after 1993 would not qualify unless they fall under the template
or other provisions. The difference between F-1 and F-2 is somewhat based
on soil type and how much wood can be produced on it. The 1993 date was
established by the legislature as a part of the lot of record test; requiring that
there be continuous ownership since 1985 and that the parcel be lawfully
created in order to get a lot of record dwelling.
Chair Swearingen opened the public hearing.
DAVID HUNNICUTT:
I am from Oregonians In Action, and am also representing Jim Watts. Since
this is a comprehensive plan amendment instead of quasi-judicial matter, I
will talk in generalities. We need some changes to be fair. My client
purchased his property in 1986. Goal 4 of LCDC sets forth requirements for
change from Forest Use to EFU, and the only way to comply is to show that
the land is forestland and EFU land. This adoption would carry out LCDC's
requirement regarding appropriately zoning land that is not forestland. If
Mr. Watts applies for a re -zone, he would first have to demonstrate that he
has forestland.
LUKE:
I am concerned that people clear cut all the trees and then claim it isn't
forestland.
HUNNICUTT:
We already have a finding from the Hearings Officer that it isn't forested,
due mostly to lack of water, and that it does not meet the Goal 4 description
of forestland. This policy would allow you to go from a forest zone to a
farm zone; this land is not really farmland either, but does meet LCDC's
Goal 3 for this purpose. His land is mis-zoned. This amendment simply
codifies what LCDC has been asking the counties to do for some time. You
already have a way in your zoning ordinance to rezone land. Mr. Watts
applied for this in 1998.

Page 8 of Page 28
I believe it was a mistake to have placed this land into forest use land to
begin with. This should qualify as a mistake under County zoning. In
regard to wildlife, this won't change the wildlife overlay zone requirements.
There is a significant amount of land in wildlife overlay zone already on
farmland. Mr. Watts could have appealed to LUBA, but they might have
deferred to the County, so appealing to them may not have helped. This
policy doesn't change that; it just allows proper zoning.
DEWOLF:
Can this Board readdress the decision made in1998?
S YRNYK:
Since no appeal was sought, it is final.
HUNNICUTT:
Some people are worried about an increase in non-farm dwellings that may
qualify under this change. I feel there are not that many who would apply.
You can't justify a mis-zoning and deny someone the right to apply.
LEE KUHN:
I live across the road. There are 26 ponderosa pines on the three parcels, not
ten as the applicant has previously stated; and they are naturally occurring
on the 39 acres. Our parcel is non -irrigated and we have planted 50
ponderosa pines. I feel it is more forested than Mr. Hunnicutt has implied.
The land can be farmed on if desired; but there is no irrigation, so it is not
farmland. It has a tax deferment based on this. I suggest that a third
resource, wildlife open space lands, is more important than agricultural use.
DEWOLF:
What would you do if you bought your land and years later the government
said you couldn't build on it?
KUHN:
Other people in the area were informed of what was coming, and some built
a structure on their land in order to keep that option open in the future. If
someone did not put up a structure or sell their property to another, it was
not because they weren't aware of what was happening.

Page 9 of Page 28
DEWOLF:
You are suggesting that there was a window of opportunity between the time
of purchase and the law taking effect.
KUHN:
You had to build something.
DEWOLF:
Then all of these 76 property owners were aware?
LUKE:
Many people did not know the implications of this action; in fact, some of
the legislators did not know the implications.
KUHN:
I feel everyone knew and had an opportunity to do something.
S WEARINGEN:
If you create a wildlife open range, it is a taking of people's property. It is
not agricultural or forest use. Another designation is needed but it should
not take away the ability to build.
KUHN:
I think 40 acres is a small parcel as far as wildlife is concerned. Mr. Watts
has three lots.
SWEARINGEN:
This proposal would only allow one residence.
KUHN:
I'm not sure how this would apply, since they were already partitioned, and
could possibly put one house on every 13 acres, even though zoning calls for
40 acres for one dwelling. I am also not sure what "nearby" logging activity
means, but there is active forest use nearby.

WILLIAM BOYER:
I live on Jordan Road in Sisters. I feel the County wants to avoid a possible
lawsuit and will do this, which will end up allowing 76 other land owners to
build a house.
LUKE:
Non-farm dwellings are not easy to get, and are getting harder all the time.
The County did take a look at this, and if there are 76 wrongly zoned
properties, it is a bigger problem.
BOYER:
I disagree, and feel that non-farm residences are almost always allowed. If
this is the substance of the proposal, the public would be appalled. This is
an ominous precedence. I am worried about Deschutes County urban
sprawl, caused by unwise planning. What about the destination resort that
had been proposed for Smith Rock? If there is a legitimate claim, it could be
reviewed periodically by the county. I suggest you don't yield to
intimidation.
SWEARINGEN:
I believe this makes sense for those 76 owners, and a potential lawsuit has
nothing to do with it.
LUKE:
This issue has been studied for some time.
HOWARD PAINE of ARLU DeCo:
This is a result of a lawsuit threat against a taking. The County should not
change laws in a knee-jerk reaction to a threat of a lawsuit from one property
owner. This opens the doors for 76 others, and other people may sue in the
future if they want their property zoning to be changed. Title 18 allows for a
zone change on a case by case basis, and property owners have the right to
apply under this procedure.
DEWOLF:
Is that what happened in 1998, applying for a zone change?

SYRNYK:
He can reapply for a rezone of his property only.
LUKE:
What was the vote of the Planning Commission?
SYRNYK:
It was unanimously in favor.
PAINE:
The applicant could appeal to LUBA, then on up if necessary. That's the
procedure. We feel rezoning under Title 18's process should be followed
instead of a blanket change.
S WEARINGEN:
It doesn't it make sense to change just one if we know there is an error in
zoning; we should not hear the others of these 76 one after another.
PAINE:
We understand that Community Development can't change the zoning for
just one property owner, and would have to make a change for all who fit. I
am against rural sprawl. The intent of this change is contrary to intent of
comprehensive plan. You need to look this on a broad basis, not because of
intimidation.
LUKE:
Please don't use that term. I am not intimidated by one individual. We are
not intimidated by this owner, we face this type of thing all the time.
DEWOLF:
The threat of lawsuit started this up; but it only spurred an investigation into
whether we had a problem with our process. If there is a problem, we need
to address it.
PAINE:
The county has a process under Title 18 for a zone change, and this owner
should follow it. (He then submitted a document; Exhibit C.)

WILLIAM KUHN:
I own the property across the way. I talked with the successful bidders for
County property, who said they would respect the winter deer range. There
are two types of F-2 zoned lands that would be affected by this: F-2 land
that is not within a winter deer range; and this parcel which is within the
deer range. It says range, not farm or forest, with the type of vegetation that
is within a range. Does this text amendment give Mr. Watts the ability to
build three residences?
Steven George of ODF&W said that Damian Syrnyk said WAO land would
not be included. Why isn't this text amendment postponed to a regular
review period? (He indicated Steve George's letters had been submitted to
Community Development in the past.) There should be a stipulation in text
amendment regarding wildlife area overlays.
LUKE:
Overlay zones come into play when someone applies for an application.
KUHN:
You can make extra restrictions on those lands that are in WAO zones. I am
addressing this specific situation, not all the others. What about the Fifth
Amendment — taking public property without due compensation. Mr. Watts
knew about the change in the law; many people had asked about purchasing
Mr. Watts' property but he wouldn't cooperate and sell it. My wife and I
offered Mr. Watts $10,000 plus 1/2 of any profit we got in the future. Mr.
Watts received an offer in June.
SWEARINGEN:
The value of his property and any offers that may or may have been received
have nothing to do with this ordinance.
KUHN:
Our concern is the winter deer range and the expansion of the Bend UGB
after the establishment of the winter deer range. Land in the range has been
lost to development.

HERB HARTMANN:
I live on Sizemore Road. This area is not forestland. Mr. Watts has been
told that in the past when he appealed the assessed valuation. Why can't
you, through exemption, change it from F-2 to F-4, as state law allows this.
I purchased my property before 1985; there is a real need to eliminate the
1993 date. It is resource land, but it is not forestland, because of the lack of
moisture.
LUKE:
Do you feel that this determination should be made on an individual
application?
HARTMANN:
It's a resource, and we know it's not forest, so the County should just change it.
SWEARINGEN:
We will keep the record open until Wednesday, July 5th, 2000, at 5:00 p.m.
for written testimony.

It was due at 4 p.m. A staff member of the clinic on Greenwood called to
say someone from Four Winds was coming back here. They had apparently
gone to 1128 NW Harriman, across the parking lot, and were sent from there
to Greenwood because that's where Christine Thornton works. Because they
had been here, and sent elsewhere, I don't know how to handle this.
LUKE:
The address is very clear. They went to the wrong building. We will not
open ourselves up for a lawsuit from others who were here on time, since
Four Winds did not follow instructions.
MAYEA:
The paperwork also clearly said to return documents to the Board of County
Commissionersoffice, and this company delivers things to this building all
the time.
S WEARINGEN:
It was not on time, so we are compelled to discard it. They should know
better. I don't want to open it.
LUKE: Based on the information presented to us, I move that we
don't accept the sealed bid from Four Winds Co.
SWEARINGEN: I second.
VOTE: LUKE: Aye.
DEWOLF: Yes.
SWEARINGEN: Chair votes aye.
