PETITION FOR VACATION OF A PUBLIC ROAD
TO: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FOR DESCHUTES COUNTY
We, the undersigned, holding recorded interests for the property abutting the proposed property for
vacation, respectfully request the following described road be vacated.
Description of road to be vacated: A section of Cook Avenueasdescribed on the attached Exhibit A - and as shown on the attached B ("Road Vacation Map").
Reason for road vacation request: This 116' portion of Cook Avenue is not used for public roadway purposes
and is not needed for street connectivity. No roadway improvements or utilities exist in the road or easements
for the utilities will be provided. The property has only been used by the two undersigned abutting owners
who both agree to this petition and to the proposed vacation of this portion of Cook Avenue. The vacation will
not result in loss of access to either parcel abutting the vacated section because the owner of Tax Lot 4600
(Sara Whitney) has agreed to provide access to abutting Tax Lot 4500, owned by Patrick Todd. The parties
are related. The remainder of Cook Avenue immediately to the north of this section and adjacent to TL 4500
was already vacated in BOCC Order No. 2020-040 (copy attached hereto as Exhibit C), Tax Lot 4500 was
then the subject of a lot line adjustment (Exhibit D) and transfer by deed (Exhibit E), and as a result, Tax Lot
4500 as adjusted (Exhibit F) now has approximately 185 feet of frontage on O.B. Riley Road and is likely
eligible to apply for a driveway permit. The proposed vacation will eliminate an obsolete roadway, reduce
County maintenance obligations and is otherwise in the public interest.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Cody Smith, County Engineer, Deschutes County Road Department
DATE: July 14, 2021
SUBJECT: Road Official's Report
Vacation of a Portion of Cook Ave in Section 31, Township 16 South, Range 12 East
Background:
Deschutes County Road Department has received a petition to vacate a portion of the public right of way for Cook
Avenue. Chief Petitioner for the proposed vacation is Pattrick Todd, owner of Tax Lot 4500 on Assessor's Map 16-
12-31D; additional Petitioner for the proposed vacation is Sara Whitney, owner of Tax Lot 4600 on Assessor's Map
16-12-31D. The petitioners have also submitted an agreement acknowledging their consent for the subject right
of way to inure to Tax Lot 4600.
The subject right of way, which is described and depicted in proposed Order No. 2021-015, Exhibit "A", was
established by the 1904 plat for the Townsite of Laidlaw (Deschutes County Official Records Document No.
1918-000027). Cook Avenue north of the proposed vacation area and south of US 20 was vacated in 2002
(Deschutes County Official Records No. 2002-24038) and 2020 (Deschutes County Commissioners Journal No.
02020-265). The proposed vacation area is not maintained by Deschutes County and consists of a poor
condition paved road. An existing overhead utility exists within the proposed vacation area. The proposed
vacation area abuts a small northerly portion of Tax Lot 200 on Assessor's Map 17-12-06, owned by Oregon
Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD); OPRD is not a petitioner for the proposed vacation.
The Petitioners have requested the vacation for the following reason:
"This 116' portion of Cook Avenue is not used for public roadway purposes and is not needed for street
connectivity. No roadway improvements or utilities exist in the road or easements will be provided. The
property has only been used by the two undersigned abutting owners who both agree to this petition and to
the proposed vacation of this portion of Cook Avenue. The vacation will not result in a loss of acess to either
ORDER 2021-015
EXHIBIT "C", PAGE 1 OF 4
parcel abutting the vacated section... The proposed vacation will eliminate an obsolete roadway, reduce
County maintenance obligations and is otherwise in the public interest."
Figure 1—Aerial Photo of Proposed Vacation Area
The Road Department mailed preliminary notices of the proposed vacation to adjoining property owners and
affected utilities and agencies. Responses to those notices are as follows:
• Pacific Power: Richard Birch, Property Agent for Pacific Power, submitted the following written
response dated May 28, 2021:
ORDER 2021-015
EXHIBIT "C", PAGE 2 OF 4
"...1 hove reviewed the attached letter regarding vacating a portion of Cook Ave and Pacific Power has
overhead powerlines within the to be vacated area that would need to be addressed before we can
approve. 1 of 2 things need to occur for us to sign off:
1. The county reserves a 20 foot utility reservation in the vacation document — or -
2. The new landowner agrees to sign an easement for the power line that would record
concurrently with the street vacation..."
The Petitioners have granted and recorded a right of way easement to PacifiCorp on March 31, 2021
(Deschutes County Official Records No. 2021-20268).
The following notified parties did not provide a response:
• Bend Broadband
• CenturyLink
• Pine Ridge Pump
• Oregon Parks and Recreation Department
• Deschutes County Community Development Department
• Deschutes County Legal Counsel
Findings:
Based upon the submitted petition materials, responses to the preliminary notices, and the Road Department's
research of the subject right of way, the Road Department finds that:
• The subject right of way was dedicated to the public on the Townsite of Laid law plat recorded as Document
No. 1918-000027 in the office of the County Clerk, Deschutes County, Oregon (ORS 368.326).
• The proposed vacation will not deprive access to any owners of a recorded property right (ORS 368.331).
• The petitioners, who represent the owners of more than 60 percent of property abutting the subject right
of way, have submitted a complete petition and submitted the required fee (ORS 368.341(1)(c); ORS
368.341(3); ORS 368.341(4); ORS368.351).
• As the petition for vacation does not include acknowledged signatures of owners of 100 percent of
property abutting the proposed vacation area, the vacation proceedings are subject to a public hearing
(ORS 368.346).
• The subject right of way does not appear to be needed for current or future public use.
Recommendation:
Based on the above findings, the Road Department has determined that the proposed vacation is in the
public interest. The Road Department recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the
ORDER 2021-015
EXHIBIT "C", PAGE 3 OF 4
vacation of a portion of the right of way of Cook Avenue as described in proposed Order No. 2021-015 subject
to the following conditions:
1. No opposition to the vacation is reported to the County prior to vacation order presentation to the
Board of County Commissioners or during the required public hearing.
2. The vacated property shall vest according to the agreement submitted by the petitioners(proposed---
Order No. 2021-015, Exhibit "D") under the authority granted by ORS 368.366(2).
This report is made pursuant to ORS 368.326 through 368.366, concerning the vacation of county property.

SUBJECT: PUBLIC HEARING - Consideration of Order No. 2021-015, Vacating a Portion of
Cook Avenue
RECOMMENDED MOTION: .
Move approval of Order No. 2021-015.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Deschutes County Road Department has received a petition to vacate a portion of the
public right of way for Cook Avenue. Chief Petitioner for the proposed vacation is Pattrick
Todd, owner of Tax Lot 4500 on Assessor's Map 16-12-31 D; additional Petitioner for the
proposed vacation is Sara Whitney, owner of Tax Lot 4600 on Assessor's Map 16-12-31 D.
The subject right of way was established by the 1904 plat for the Townsite of Laidlaw
(Deschutes County Official Records Document No. 1918-000027). Cook Avenue north of
the proposed vacation area and south of US 20 was vacated in 2002 (Deschutes County
Official Records No. 2002-24038) and 2020 (Deschutes County Commissioners Journal No.
CJ2020-265). The proposed vacation area is not maintained by Deschutes County and
consists of a poor condition paved road. An existing overhead utility exists within the
proposed vacation area. The proposed vacation area abuts a small northerly portion of
Tax Lot 200 on Assessor's Map 17-12-06, owned by Oregon Parks and Recreation
Department (OPRD); OPRD is not a petitioner for the proposed vacation.
A public hearing will be held to allow for interested parties to provide testimony regarding
the proposed vacation. Upon closing the public hearing, the Board of County
Commissioners will consider adoption of Order No. 2021-015, which would vacate the
subject right of way and vest the vacated right of way with the owner of Tax Lot 4600 on
Assessor's Map 16-12-31 D.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
Petitioners have paid the vacation petition fee in the amount of $500.00.
