7. Consideration of Board Order 2022-016; decision whether to hear an
appeal of the Hearings Officer's approval of an application to
establish a wireless telecommunications facility
Anthony Raguine, Principal Planner, briefed on whether the Board should
consider hearing an appeal on an application by AT&T to establish a
wireless telecommunications (tower) facility. The facility will be located
within the Highway 20 right-of-way area and the appeal was filed by Mr.
Gary Sherman. Commissioner DeBone disclosed he was a participant in
the Statewide Executive Communications Committee and that AT&T is a
cellphone provider that currently provides FirstNet which is emergency
communications across the country and he has recently been in a
meeting where this was probably one of the dots on a map that was
proposed. Mr. Sherman's property is the one shown on the map south of
the proposed location. In answer to a question from Commissioner
Chang, Mr. Raguine confirmed he had not previously seen one of these
applications so this is a very uncommon occurrence. To his knowledge
this is a unique set of circumstances in that it is in an ODOT right-of-way.
He confirmed that they are normally in another use zone. In the majority
they will have a land use application for each. He briefed that there are
two broad categories, where provisions of the Landscape Management
combining zone apply. New structures or exterior alternations to existing
structures which require a building permit or all agricultural structures. In
the Oregon State Specialty Code (OSSC) facilities in a public right of way do
not require a building permit. As such this does not require a building
permit and therefore the sections in the LM combining zone do not apply.
Therefore there is nothing in the Code to cover this structure. Adam
Smith, Assistant Legal Counsel, also briefed on the item, noting the shot-
BOCC MEETING MARCH 7, 2022 PAGE 5 OF 10
clock deadlines and if there were compelling policy issues that are
impacting the county as a whole that the Board wants to engage in.
Commissioner Adair asked if AT&T had plans for other facilities where
they have right of way, were they looking at those as well. Staff were not
aware of any at this time. The possibility of siting it on Federal Land was
also discussed. In staffs opinion this would almost certainly go to the
Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) if it is denied here. Mr. Smith briefed
on deference that LUBA may take. All Commissioners were reluctant but
with the tight timing they took a vote. Staff noted that they could revisit
the code to make future decisions with regard to these sorts of
applications should the Commissioners wish, it would not be retroactive.
DEBONE: Move signature of Board Order 2022-016 declining to hear the
appeal.
CHANG: Second
VOTE: DEBONE: Yes
CHANG: Yes
ADAIR: Chair votes yes. Motion carried.
8. Thornburgh Destination Resort, Board Consideration on whether to
hear appeal nos. 247-22-000174-A and 247-22-000175-A
Caroline House, Senior Planner, briefed on the two appeals before the Board.
She gave background on the current site planning and appeals previously heard.
In summary, the Final Master Plan will include: total area of 1,970 acres, up to
950 dwelling units, 50 unit hotel, 425 residential overnight lodging units (OLUs),
resort facilities, community facilities, three golf courses and 1,293 acres of open
space which includes the golf courses. There will be 7 phases to the build. She
briefed closely on the appeal. In answer to a question from Commissioner
Chang, Ms. House gave clarification on water mitigation requirements. She
noted that there were no changes to that proposed in the plan and none
currently requested. Assistant Legal Counsel Adam Smith also briefed on
procedure and what could and could not be discussed and agreed during the
meeting. Commissioner Chang noted that this was not a new decision to
approve or deny a new project. This is specifically a question of mitigation
requirements. Ms. House also briefed on details of this Hearing and what was
BOCC MEETING MARCH 7, 2022 PAGE 6 OF 10
being discussed today. Will Groves, Planning Manager, clarified the decision by
the Hearings Officer. Mr. Smith clarified deference in this case.
DEBONE: Move signature of Board Order 2021-011 denying review of the
Hearings Officer Decision in File Nos. 247-21-000637-TP and
247-21-000948-A.
