PETITION FOR VACATION OF A PUBLIC ROAD
TO: THE DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
We, the undersigned (holding recorded interest or abutting the proposed property or owning
improvements constructed on the proposed property for vacation), respectfully request the following
described road be vacated.
Description of road to be vacated: All of Butte Drive as dedicated in the plat of the Second Addition to
River Forest Acres (legal description attached.) Butte Drive, a 600 plus foot undeveloped easement running
roughly north south between Bates Street and Carrington Avenue, was not improved due to a rock dome
approximately 200 feet north of Carrington Avenue. The four lots overlaying the easement have access, with
utilities from, Carrington Avenue or Bates Street.
Reason for road vacation request: 55150 Butte Drive was originally 16394 Carrington Avenue, having been
changed March 31, 2016, then was given an Access -Driveway Permit on 4/19/2016. The reason for these
changes was a large rock dome along Carrington Avenue preventing access and utilities to lot 17. Using the
Butte Drive easement as a driveway allowed the lot to be developed and a driveway was installed and paved
in 2018. Since then, the driveway has been assumed to be Butte Drive which shows on maps as a through
road. All four abutting owners would like to prevent any future misunderstanding of the purpose of this area
and re-establish the adjacent private property boundaries for the exclusive use of the owners. Although
Deschutes County has an ordinance prohibiting camping on county roads, and the chances are small it would
happen, there has been a trailer parked on the easement in the past (2016) for several weeks. The adjacent
lots are fully developed and Butte Drive has no future use.
Contact on this vacation was first made with the Road Department in April 2019 when the petitioner
was told it wasn't worth pursuing due to future utilities and development needs. The power grid for this area
runs north/south along Forest Lane and easttwest along Bates Street and Carrington Avenue. Butte Drive has
never had any utilities within the easement and since all four abutting lots are developed, will never have any
utility easements.
After some reflection and a few cars trying to pass through Butte Drive the petitioner again made
contact with the Road Department on April 15, 2020. On October 12, 2020 a response was received, this time
saying the Road Department cannot recommend the Vacation of Butte Drive due to fire danger. (I believe
between Covid 19, summer business and this being a low priority issue the response delay was
understandable.) Just to clarify, my initial inquiries we made in regards to only the section of Butte Drive
adjacent to my property (55150 Butte Drive.) This petition includes the whole of Butte Drive and is
representing all four property owners with abutment to Butte Drive.
There are fire exits for River Forest Acres on the west end of Bates Street and off Forest Lane south
both using secondary roads to access State Rec Road to the south or South Century Drive (42) to the north.
Forest Lane also leads north to South Century Drive and can provide additional access north through River
Meadows Subdivision. Developing Butte Drive to add to this exit grid provides no advantage to these routes.
(Map attached)
A Side Note: It may be necessary to return the address of 55150 Butte Drive to the original 16394
Carrington Street to eliminate confusion and remove Butte Drive from all maps.
Thank you for your time, Tom Wilkerson, lead petitioner

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Cody Smith, County Engineer, Deschutes County Road Department
DATE: August 23, 2021
SUBJECT: Road Official's Report
Vacation of Butte Drive in Section 34, Township 20 South, Range 10 East
Background:
Deschutes County Road Department has received a petition to vacate the public right of way for Butte Drive.
Petitioners for the vacation are:
• Thomas L. Wilkerson (Chief Petitioner), sole trustee of the Thomas L. Wilkerson Revocable Trust, owner of
Tax Lot 1800 on Assessor's Map 20-10-34A (Lot 17; 55150 Butte Drive, Bend, Oregon)
• Nicholas C. and Kayla J. Rotunno and Steven J. and Maryann C. Sinkler, owners of Tax Lot 1600 on Assessor's
Map 20-10-34A (Lot 15; 16377 Bates Drive, Bend, Oregon)
• Patrick D. and Debbie J. Smith, owners of Tax Lot 1700 on Assessor's Map 20-10-34A (Lot 16; 16391 Bates
Drive, Bend, Oregon)
• Vince and Julie Barghigiani, owners of Tax Lot 1900 on Assessor's Map 20-10-34A (Lot 18; 1632 Carrington
Avenue, Bend, Oregon)
These tax lots comprise all of the abutting or underlying properties to the subject right of way.
The subject right of way was established in 1966 by the Second Addition to River Forest Acres plat (Deschutes
County Official Records Document No. 1966-000010). The right of way is 50 ft. in width and connects Bates
Road to Carrington Drive. The northerly portion of Butte Drive adjacent to Tax Lots 1600 and 1700 consists of
a cinder road providing access from Bates Street to those adjacent lots. Within the southerly portion of Butte
Drive adjacent to Tax Lots 1800 and 1900, a paved driveway approach exists providing access from Carrington
Drive to Tax Lot 1800. Approximately 70 ft. north of the northern terminus of the paved driveway approach,
a large rock outcropping exists which prevents vehicles from driving through on Butte Drive between
Carrington Drive and Bates Street. Utilities located within the right of way of Butte Drive appear to consist of
power and communication facilities providing service to the adjacent lots. Butte Drive exists within the River
Forest Acres Special Road District, but the District does not maintain the road.
The Petitioners have requested the vacation for the following reason:
ORDER NO. 2021-016
EXHIBIT "C" - PAGE 1 OF 4
"55150 Butte Drive was origonally 16394 Carrington Avenue, having been changed March 31, 2016, then was
given and Access -Driveway Permit on 411912016. The reason for these changes was a large rock dome along

Figure 1—Aerial Photo of Proposed Vacation Area
ORDER NO. 2021-016
EXHIBIT "C" - PAGE 2 OF 4
The petition included service provider consent forms from the following service providers, who indicated the
following:
• River Forest Acres Special Road District —Consents to the proposed vacation
• Midstate Electric Cooperative — Does not have existing facilities within the area proposed for vacation;
consents to the proposed vacation
The Road Department mailed preliminary notices of the proposed vacation to affected property owners,
utilities, and agencies. The following notified parties did not provide a response:
• Patrick D. and Debbie J. Smith
• Thomas Wilkerson Revocable Trust
• Vince and Julie Barghigiani
• Nicholas C. and Kayla J. Rotunno, et al
• River Forest Acres Special Road District
• Bend Broadband
• Midstate Electric Cooperative
• 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 Second Addition to River Forest Acres plat
recorded as Document No. 1966-000010 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 100 percent of the owners 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).
• The subject right of way does not appear to contain any utilities or other facilities, other than private utility
services for the adjacent properties.
• 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
vacation of the right of way of Butte Drive as described in proposed Order No. 2021-016 subject to the
following conditions:
ORDER NO. 2021-016
EXHIBIT "C" - PAGE 3 OF 4
1. No opposition to the vacation is reported to the County prior to vacation order presentation to the
Board of County Commissioners.
2. The vacated property shall vest in the rightful owner(s) holding title according to law pursuant to ORS
368.366 (1)(c).
This report is made pursuant to ORS 368.326 through 368.366, concerning the vacation of county property.

adjacent to Tax Lots 1800 and 1900, a paved driveway approach exists providing access
from Carrington Drive to Tax Lot 1800. Approximately 70 ft. north of the northern
terminus of the paved driveway approach, a large rock outcropping exists which prevents
vehicles from driving through on Butte Drive between Carrington Drive and Bates Street.
Utilities located within the right of way of Butte Drive appear to consist of power and
communication facilities providing service to the adjacent lots. Butte Drive exists within the
River Forest Acres Special Road District, but the District does not maintain the road.
