III. CONCLUSIONARY FINDINGS:
CHAPTER 16.16, ROAD NAMING
Section 16.16.010. Road Naming Authority.
A. Deschutes County, through the Community Development Department, shall have
the authority to and shall assign road names to roads requiring names as provided
in DCC 16.16.
FINDING: The subject road naming application is being reviewed by the Deschutes County
Community Development Department. This criterion is met.
Section 16.16.020, Unnamed Roads.
All unnamed public and private roads and other roadways which provide access to three or
more tax lots, or which are more than 1,320 feet in length, shall be assigned a name in
accordance with the procedures in DCC 16.16.030.
FINDING: The subject unnamed road is 2,300 feet in length and will provide access to four (4) tax lots
once improvements are completed. In addition, this road will also provide access to two (2) tentatively
approved parcels (reference land use file no. 247-20-000023-MP). Therefore, staff finds the proposed
road name assignment must be reviewed in accordance with the procedures in DCC 16.16.030, which
are addressed below. This criterion will be met.
Section 16.16.030, Procedures for Naming New Roads.
A. Application.
1. The naming of a road may be initiated by the Community Development
Department, Planning Commission, the Board, or by application of adjacent
property owners, developers, or public agencies which may be affected by
road names.
FINDING: This application was initiated by Ted W. Netter, an authorized representative for the
adjacent property owner of property addressed 70535 NW Lower Bridge Way, on October 26, 2020.
This criterion is met.
2. An application to name a road shall be submitted to the Community
Development Department and shall include, at a minimum, the following.
a. Name of applicant,
b. Location of road by description and or map;
C. Legal status of road, if known;
d. Proposed road name, with two alternate proposed names,
e. Reason for name request;
f. Petition(s) attached, if any, and
247-20-000740-RN (Joe Buck Avenue) Page 4 of 9
g. Fee, if any, as established by the Board.
FINDING: The applicant submitted the required information and fee identified above. These criteria
are met.
B. Notice of a proposed name assignment shall be sent to all persons owning property
abutting the affected road or having an address on the affected road. Such notices
shall be sent within 10 days of the receipt of an application, if any, or other action
initiating the proposed road name assignment.
FINDING: On November 4, 2020, staff mailed notice of this pending application to the property
owners of four (4) properties abutting the subject road to be named. This notice was mailed nine
(9) days after the application was received. This criterion is met.
C. Persons receiving notice under DCC 16.16.030(B) shall promptly notify any tenants
or other occupants of the affected property of the proposed road name assignment.
D. Any person receiving notice under DCC 16.16.030(B) above may comment in writing
on the proposed name within 10 days from the date of notice.
FINDING: The mailed notice included a statement requiring the recipient to notify any tenants or
other occupants of the affected property of the proposed road name assignment. No public
comments were received. These criteria are met.
E. Standards
1. General. The proposed road name shall.
a. Be limited to a maximum of two words.
b. Not duplicate existing road names, except for continuations of
existing roads.
C. Not sound so similar to other roads as to be confusing.
d. Not use compass directions such as North, East, South, etc., as part of
the road name.
e. Not use designations such as Loop, Way, Place, etc., as part of the road
name.
f. Improve or clarify the identification of the area.
g. Use historical names, when possible.
h. Reflect a consensus of sentiment of affected property owners and
occupants, when possible, subject to the other standards contained in
DCC 16.16.030.
FINDING: The applicant submitted the following four (4) road names for consideration:
1. Equine One
2. Whychus
3. Joe Buck
4. Perfect
247-20-000740-RN Qoe Buck Avenue) Page 5 of 9
The proposed road name "Equine One" includes a numeric word, which may create confusion. The
second proposed name "Whychus" is commonly used in the Sisters area and, therefore, is not
suitable. Nevertheless, staff finds the proposed road name "Joe Buck" meets the standards above
and is the best choice given the close proximity of the road to the Metolius Deer Winter Range while
also taking into consideration the rural character of the surrounding area. For these reasons, staff
has assigned the road name "Joe Buck" to the subject right-of-way from the list of submitted names.
These criteria are met.
2. Particular Roads. The proposed road name shall also conform to the
following standards:
a. North/South roads shall be called "roads" or "streets."
b. East/West roads shall be called "avenues."
C. Roads dead -ending in a turnaround 1,000 feet or less from their
beginning points shall be called "courts."
d. Roads of reduced right-of-way or curving roads of less than 1,000 feet
shall be called "lanes" or "terraces."
e. Curving roads longer than 1,000 feet shall be called "drives" or "trails."
f. Roads that deviate slightly from the main course of a road with the
same name, are less than 1,000 feet in length, shall be called "places."
g. Roads that are four lanes or more shall be called "boulevards."
h. Historical roads shall be called "market roads."
i. Roads running at oblique angles to the four points of the compass,
less than 1,000 feet in length, shall be called "ways." (See Appendix
"D," attached hereto.)
j. Roads that begin at and circle back onto the same road, or that are
circular or semicircular, shall be called "circles" or "loops."
FINDING: The road to be named is approximately 2,300 feet in length and extends west from Lower
Bridge Way. The western terminus is a cul-da-sac and does not connect to any other roads. Given
this configuration, staff finds "avenue" is the appropriate suffix. These criteria are met.
F. Staff Review and Road Name Assignment. The Community Development Department
shall review road name applications and shall assign road names under the
following procedure:
1. Verify legal status of road with the County Clerk's office and Road
Department.
FINDING: The road to be named was created and publically dedicated as part of Major Partition
Approval (MJP) 81-7. The Deschutes County Clerk's Office and Road Department have records of this
approved partition and the creation of this public road. This criterion is met.
2. Check proposed road name(s) to avoid duplication or confusing similarity
with other existing road names, with those on approved preliminary land
divisions and with those approved for future use.
247-20-000740-RN Qoe Buck Avenue) Page 6 of 9
FINDING: The Deschutes County Address Coordinator confirmed the proposed road name is
unique and there are no other similarly named roads in Deschutes County. This criterion is met.
3. Perform afield check, when necessary.
4. Assist the applicant or other affected person(s) to find alternate names when
required.
FINDING: For the purposes of this review, staff relied on existing County records and aerial images
to verify the applicable requirements. As detailed in this decision, the proposed name "Joe Buck
Avenue" satisfies the applicable requirements. Therefore, no alternate names, beyond the four (4)
submitted as part of the original request, were necessary or submitted. These criteria are met.
5. Notify appropriate persons, departments and agencies of the road name
application, and request comments.
6. Review and consider all comments submitted.
7. Assign a road name in accordance with the standards set forth in DCC
16.16.030(E) above.
FINDING: As detailed in the Basic Findings above, the appropriate persons, departments and
agencies received notice of this pending application. All of the submitted comments were reviewed
in coordination with the Deschutes County Property Address Coordinator and the assigned name,
Joe Buck Avenue, meets the standards of DCC 16.16.030(E). These criteria are met.
G. Notice of Staff Decision. Following assignment of a road name by the Community
Development Department, notice of the road name assignment shall be sent to all
persons entitled to notice under DCC 16.16.030(8).
H. Appeal. Affected property owners and occupants shall have the right to appeal the
assignment of a road name by the Community Development Department. Such
appeals shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Deschutes

Board shall sign an order establishing the road name as assigned by the Community
Development Department.
247-20-000740-RN Qoe Buck Avenue) Page 7 of 9
FINDING: Within ten (10) days of this decision becoming final and absent an appeal, the proposed

I have reviewed the transmittal materials for File 247-20-000740-RN to name a 60 foot public right of way
off of Lower Bridge Way as Joe Buck Road. The road is on Tax Map 14-12-00 adjacent to Tax Lot 1102 and
is approximately 1,400 feet south of Lambert Road, extending westward for roughly Z300 feet.
I have no adverse comments on the proposal.
The following agencies did not respond to the notice: 911, Cloverdale Fire Department, Deschutes
County Sheriff's Office, Deschutes County Surveyor, Redmond School District, Three Sisters
Irrigation District, and Bend Regional Watermaster.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Notice was sent to the four (4) affected properties per DCC 16.16.030(B). The
applicant also posted a proposed road name sign. No public comments were received.

III. CONCLUSIONARY FINDINGS:
CHAPTER 16.16, ROAD NAMING
Section 16.16.010 Road Naming Authority.
A. Deschutes County, through the Community Development Department, shall have
the authority to and shall assign road names to roads requiring names as provided
in DCC 16.16.
FINDING: The subject road naming application is being reviewed by the Deschutes County
Community Development Department. This criterion is met.
Section 16.16.020, Unnamed Roads.
All unnamed public and private roads and other roadways which provide access to three or
more tax lots, or which are more than 1,320 feet in length, shall be assigned a name in
accordance with the procedures in DCC 16.16.030.
FINDING: The subject unnamed road is 2,300 feet in length and will provide access to four (4) tax lots
once improvements are completed. In addition, this road will also provide access to two (2) tentatively
approved parcels (reference land use file no. 247-20-000023-MP). Therefore, staff finds the proposed
road name assignment must be reviewed in accordance with the procedures in DCC 16.16.030, which
are addressed below. This criterion will be met.
Section 16 16.030 Procedures for Naming New Roads.
A. Application.
1. The naming of a road may be initiated by the Community Development
Department, Planning Commission, the Board, or by application of adjacent
property owners, developers, or public agencies which may be affected by
road names.
FINDING: This application was initiated by Ted W. Netter, an authorized representative for the
adjacent property owner of property addressed 70535 NW Lower Bridge Way, on October 26, 2020.
This criterion is met.
2. An application to name a road shall be submitted to the Community
Development Department and shall include, at a minimum, the following.
a. Name of applicant,
b. Location of road by description and or map,
C. Legal status of road, if known,
d. Proposed road name, with two alternate proposed names,
e. Reason for name request;
f. Petition(s) attached, if any, and
247-20-000740-RN Qoe Buck Avenue) Page 4 of 9
g. Fee, if any, as established by the Board.
FINDING: The applicant submitted the required information and fee identified above. These criteria
are met.
B. Notice of a proposed name assignment shall be sent to all persons owning property
abutting the affected road or having an address on the affected road. Such notices
shall be sent within 10 days of the receipt of an application, if any, or other action
initiating the proposed road name assignment.
FINDING: On November 4, 2020, staff mailed notice of this pending application to the property
owners of four (4) properties abutting the subject road to be named. This notice was mailed nine
(9) days after the application was received. This criterion is met.
C. Persons receiving notice under DCC 16.16.030(B) shall promptly notify any tenants
or other occupants of the affected property of the proposed road name assignment.
D. Any person receiving notice under DCC 16.16.030(B) above may comment in writing
on the proposed name within 10 days from the date of notice.
FINDING: The mailed notice included a statement requiring the recipient to notify any tenants or
other occupants of the affected property of the proposed road name assignment. No public
comments were received. These criteria are met.
E. Standards
1. General. The proposed road name shall.
a. Be limited to a maximum of two words.
b. Not duplicate existing road names, except for continuations of
existing roads.
C. Not sound so similar to other roads as to be confusing.
d. Not use compass directions such as North, East, South, etc., as part of
the road name.
e. Not use designations such as Loop, Way, Place, etc., as part of the road
name.
f. Improve or clarify the identification of the area.
g. Use historical names, when possible.
h. Reflect a consensus of sentiment of affected property owners and
occupants, when possible, subject to the other standards contained in
DCC 16.16.030.
FINDING: The applicant submitted the following four (4) road names for consideration:
1. Equine One
2. Whychus
3. Joe Buck
4. Perfect
247-20-000740-RN (Joe Buck Avenue) Page 5 of 9
The proposed road name "Equine One" includes a numeric word, which may create confusion. The
second proposed name "Whychus" is commonly used in the Sisters area and, therefore, is not
suitable. Nevertheless, staff finds the proposed road name 'Joe Buck" meets the standards above
and is the best choice given the close proximity of the road to the Metolius Deer Winter Range while
also taking into consideration the rural character of the surrounding area. For these reasons, staff
has assigned the road name "Joe Buck" to the subject right-of-way from the list of submitted names.
These criteria are met.
2. Particular Roads. The proposed road name shall also conform to the
following standards:
a. North/South roads shall be called "roads" or "streets."
b. East/West roads shall be called "avenues."
C. Roads dead -ending in a turnaround 1,000 feet or less from their
beginning points shall be called "courts."
d. Roads of reduced right-of-way or curving roads of less than 1,000 feet
shall be called "lanes" or "terraces."
e. Curving roads longer than 1,000 feet shall be called "drives" or "trails."
f. Roads that deviate slightly from the main course of a road with the
same name, are less than 1,000 feet in length, shall be called "places."
g. Roads that are four lanes or more shall be called "boulevards."
h. Historical roads shall be called "market roads."
i. Roads running at oblique angles to the four points of the compass,
less than 1,000 feet in length, shall be called "ways." (See Appendix
"D," attached hereto.)
j. Roads that begin at and circle back onto the same road, or that are
circular or semicircular, shall be called "circles" or "loops."
FINDING: The road to be named is approximately 2,300 feet in length and extends west from Lower
Bridge Way. The western terminus is a cul-da-sac and does not connect to any other roads. Given
this configuration, staff finds "avenue" is the appropriate suffix. These criteria are met.
F. Staff Review and Road Name Assignment: The Community Development Department
shall review road name applications and shall assign road names under the
following procedure:
1. Verify legal status of road with the County Clerk's office and Road
Department.
FINDING: The road to be named was created and publically dedicated as part of Major Partition
Approval (MJP) 81-7. The Deschutes County Clerk's Office and Road Department have records of this
approved partition and the creation of this public road. This criterion is met.
2. Check proposed road name(s) to avoid duplication or confusing similarity
with other existing road names, with those on approved preliminary land
divisions and with those approved for future use.
247-20-000740-RN Qoe Buck Avenue) Page 6 of 9
FINDING: The Deschutes County Address Coordinator confirmed the proposed road name is
unique and there are no other similarly named roads in Deschutes County. This criterion is met.
3. Perform afield check, when necessary.
4. Assist the applicant or other affected person(s) to find alternate names when
required.
FINDING: For the purposes of this review, staff relied on existing County records and aerial images
to verify the applicable requirements. As detailed in this decision, the proposed name "Joe Buck
Avenue" satisfies the applicable requirements. Therefore, no alternate names, beyond the four (4)
submitted as part of the original request, were necessary or submitted. These criteria are met.
S. Notify appropriate persons, departments and agencies of the road name
application, and request comments.
6. Review and consider all comments submitted.
z Assign a road name in accordance with the standards set forth in DCC
16.16.030(E) above.
FINDING: As detailed in the Basic Findings above, the appropriate persons, departments and
agencies received notice of this pending application. All of the submitted comments were reviewed
in coordination with the Deschutes County Property Address Coordinator and the assigned name,
Joe Buck Avenue, meets the standards of DCC 16.16.030(E). These criteria are met.

Development Department, notice of the road name assignment shall be sent to all
