DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Audio Cassette Recording Titled: WORK SESSION
April 17, 1989; 10:00-11:15 AM.
A meeting of the Board of County Commissioners was held on April 17, 1989.
Commissioners present were Lois Prante, Tom Troop and Dick Maudlin. Also in
attendance were Rick Isham, County Counsel; County Administrator Mike Maier;
and other staff.
Items discussed at this meeting may be on a future Board business meeting
agenda:
Discussion from a citizen who is part of Bend Investment Development
Corporation, which started up about 28 years ago. They bought a ranch just north
of the canals on Boyd Acres Road, and ran a 12" water main from the City of Bend
to the property. This was for Bend Millwork, who sold out to Pozzi Corporation.
At that time the County helped with the road and the bridges. Since then most of
the area has been sold out to Fuqua Homes and Beaver Coaches. The group then
took on Phase II and Phase III, which have been sold out. In 1979 they bought
more property for Phase IV.

They have always done this at County specifications. These businesses now
employ about 3,000 people. They got a grant for extending water to the end of
the development but paid for all the rest, plus the streets, at no profit.
They are seeing some profit now as they sell parcels. They now have stockholders
involved and all have recovered their investment. The problem is that the County
wants more done with the roads. Some of the property owners are upset about
this. The Road Department has a new rule to improve the roads with curbs. The
Planning Department has been good to work with, though.
Mr. Throop said that there are some ordinances in place that are subject to
interpretation. The citizen said that the curbs will cause some problem with
where the water flows. Some of it is going to drain right into his driveway where
there is a loading dock. He said he can understand this requirement in new
subdivisions, but not retroactive.
They are getting out of the business anyway, since there are others picking up
where they left off. When they started, no one was helping people find industrial
or commercial property. Now the property owners are upset about the County's
new requirements.
Ms. Prante said that they should not require this of someone who developed
properly at the time. These are the City of Bend standards. The citizen said there
are only about four lots left to sell, and this is making it hard to do.
Mr. Maudlin said that some of the property owners seem to have purchased after
the ordinance was in effect. Mr. Isham explained that the standards were
changed in the mid -1980's, and what triggers the enforcement is when someone
comes in for a building permit. It doesn't affect those who have already built.
This requirement has been consistent. That will gradually get roads up to the
proper standards. However, this ends up with patches of sidewalks and curbs. It
is also expensive to do this kind of work piecemeal.
There was a lengthy discussion about when the properties were sold and built
upon. The Board asked for a list of potential impacted properties in that area and
in others.

Discussion of logging happening off Collins Road in La Pine, and it appears there

Discussion of Amendment #20 for case management under the Health
Department contract with the State.
Discussion of a letter of support for the dispatch program.
Discussion of a development agreement with Thomas Weston.

Mr. Throop spoke about the transportation plan update. COCOA and Bend Dial -a -
Ride are involved. (There was a long discussion about the increase in calls and
services.)
Update on recycling efforts with the Solid Waste Advisory Board and one of the
Commissioners.
Discussion on self -haulers versus contract haulers, with the input of the contract
haulers group. They have come up with a list of recommendations.
Discussion of the acceptance of a right of way easement from Oregon Fish &
Wildlife, off Bridge Drive.

Discussion of the appointment of John Copenhaver to the Mental Health Advisory
Board.
Discussion of an upcoming Health and Human Services Division meeting.
Discussion of an upcoming special Parks & Recreation meeting for the greater La
Pine area.
Discussion of upcoming work sessions and a tour of potential surface mining
locations.
Discussion of the desire of mobile home park owners to expand their existing park
areas. The County's hands are somewhat tied due to the law and non -conforming
uses rules at the State level. Although the County wants to support affordable
housing, the problem is these are non -conforming uses in rural areas, and there is
not much the County can do about it.
Discussion of Barry Slaughter's request to move to option #1 on the CCA.
Discussion of the Mental Health Division's top priorities. The Board will support
these.
Discussion of the resource capabilities of those who want to establish a race track
at the Fairgrounds location.
Discussion of the staff report regarding Reed Road, which currently does not have
an official access. However, the State recognizes the one that is being used.
I certify that the above is a true and accurate record of a meeting, as reproduced from a
cassette tape identified as Minutes of a Meeting of the Deschutes County Board of
Commissioners, held on April 17, 1989. This record was completed subsequent to the presiding
Deschutes County Board of Commissioners' tenure.
