Background: Deschutes County Road Department has received a petition to vacate an unimproved, unnamed public right of way within the River Bend Estates subdivision in Section 19 of Township 18S, Range 12E, W.M.. The Petitioners, who are owners of abutting or underlying property to the proposed vacation area, are: • Benjamin Miller, authorized representative for Bend Christian Fellowship, owner of Tax Lot 2200 on Assessor's Map 18-12-19A (Chief Petitioner); • Thomas D. Snell, joint owner of Tax Lot 15100 on Assessor's Map 18-12-19C; • Bryan W. and Donna F. Stiff, owners of Tax Lot 14400 on Assessor's Map 18-12-19C; • David K. McNaughton and Cherlyn L. Vanover, trustees of the McNaughton-Vanover Living Trust, owner of Tax Lot 14300 on Assessor's Map 18-12-19C; and • Paul J. and Cindy B. Shonka, owners of Tax Lot 14200 on Assessor's Map 18-12-19C. The following individuals are owners of abutting or underlying property to the proposed vacation area who are not Petitioners to the proposed vacation: • Shanna L. Snell, joint owner of Tax Lot 15100 on Assessor's Map 18-12-19C; • Bryan C. and Cady Zivney, owners of Tax Lot 800 on Assessor's Map 18-12-19CD; and • William J. and Jessica C. Steed, owners of Tax Lot 900 on Assessor's Map 18-12-19CD. The subject right of way is 50 ft. wide and was created by dedication deed recorded at the Deschutes County Clerk's Office as Deed No. 1970-1720616. Road Department records do not indicate why the subject deed was recorded and do not indicate that the subject dedication was accepted by the Board of County Commissioners in accordance with ORS 93.808; nonetheless, the portion of the right of way described in Deed No. 1970- 1720616 located east of present-day Tax Lot 2200 was vacated by Deschutes County Order No. 90-066. The EXHIBIT "B" - Page 1 of 5 Arnold irrigation District (AID) Main Canal crosses the southern limits of the proposed vacation area within a separate underlying right of way that is not subject to these vacation proceedings. Private outbuildings appear to exist within the proposed vacation area. There are presently no public road improvements and no public utilities within the proposed vacation area except the aforementioned AID facility. The Petitioners provided the following reason for the proposed vacation: "Improvements to the church facility located at 19831 Rocking Horse Road, known as map number 181219A, tax lot 2200." The vacation of the subject right of way across Tax Lot 2200 would allow for planned site improvements for Bend Christian Fellowship, including new building and parking space; however, vacation of the subject right of way over just Tax Lot 2200 would leave an orphaned right of way over and across the remain underlying properties to the south. As such, the Chief Petitioner has gathered additional abutting property owner signatures as indicated above. Figure — Aerial Photo of Proposed Vacation Area EXHIBIT "B" - Page 2 of 5 A review of Assessor's Tax Maps 18-12-19B and 18-12-19C indicates that the proposed vacation would effectively landlock Tax Lot 15100, potentially depriving the owners of that property of access necessary for the exercise of their property right. In regards to this matter, Road Department staff note the following: • Thomas D. Snell, joint owner of Tax Lot 15100, is a Petitioner to the proposed vaction. • The submitted petition included a loss of access consent form signed by Thomas D. Snell. • Shanna L. Snell, joint owner of Tax Lot 15100 who is not a Petitioner to the proposed vaction and who did not sign a loss of access consent form, was served with notice of the public hearing for the proposed vacation and has not provided comments on the matter to the Department to date. • Tax Lot 15100 appears to have access to Rocking Horse Road via a driveway access across Tax Lot 2200 (NOTE: It is currently unknown to Road Department staff if this driveway access exists within the boundaries of a recorded easement instrument.) The Petitioners submitted completed service provider consent forms from those providers serving within or adjacent to the proposed vacation area; those service providers and their responses are listed below: • Arnold Irrigation District o Representative: Steven Johnson, District Manager o Service provider does not have existing facilities within the area proposed for vacation o Service provider consents to the proposed vacation • Central Oregon Irrigation District o Representative: Craig Horrell, District Manager o Service provider does not have existing facilities within the area proposed for vacation o Service provider consents to the proposed vacation • Roats Water System, Inc. o Representative: Michelle Berg, Manager/Shareholder o Service provider does not have existing facilities within the area proposed for vacation o Service provider consents to the proposed vacation • Avion Water Company, Inc. o Representative: Mike Heffernan, Engineering Department o Service provider does not have existing facilities within the area proposed for vacation o Service provider consents to the proposed vacation • Cascade Natural Gas Corp. o Representative: Joshua Aiguar, Operations Manager o Service provider does not have existing facilities within the area proposed for vacation o Service provider consents to the proposed vacation • Centuryl-ink o Representative: Matthew Reese, ROW Agent II o Service provider does not have existing facilities within the area proposed for vacation o Service provider consents to the proposed vacation • Pacific Power o Representative: Ian Treadway, Operations Manager o Service provider does not have existing facilities within the area proposed for vacation o Service provider consents to the proposed vacation EXHIBIT "B" - Page 3 of 5 Road Department staff determined that, when completing their service provider consent forms, the service providers listed above may have only been notified by the Petitioners of the proposed vacation across just Tax Lot 2200; as such, the Department provided notice of the public hearing for the proposed vacation to those service providers listed above identifying the entire proposed vacation area. In response to those notices, the following comments were received: • Central Oregon Irrigation District o Representative: Spencer Stauffer, Land Use Technician o Comments: "...Please be advised that Central Oregon Irrigation District (COID) has received Notice of Public Hearing to consider vacation of an unimproved public right of way in Township 18S, Range 12E, Section 19. W.M. (dated November 22, 2022). COID has no facilities or water rights in the vicinity of the proposed vacation. COID has no further comments..." Findings: Based upon the submitted petition materials, responses to service provider notices, and the Road Department's research of the subject right of way, the Road Department makes the following findings: • The proposed vacation area was offered to the public by dedication deed recorded at the Deschutes County Clerk's Office as Deed No. 1970-1720616 (ORS 368.326). • Owners of a recorded property right that would potentially be deprived of access necessary for the exercise of that property right with the proposed vacation have consented to the proposed vacation (ORS 368.331). • The Petitioners, who represent the owners of more than sixty (60) percent of property abutting the subject right of way, have submitted complete petitions and submitted the required fee (ORS 368.341(1)(c); ORS 368.341(3); ORS 368.341(4); ORS368.351). • Except for utilities contained by separate easement instruments, the subject right of way does not contain public utilities and does not contain public road improvements of value to the public. • 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 proposed vacation as described in proposed Order No. 2023-003 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. EXHIBIT "B" - Page 4 of 5 2. The vacated property shall vest with the rightful owner or owners holding title according to law in accordance with ORS 368.366(1)(c). This report is made pursuant to ORS 368.326 through 368.366, concerning the vacation of county property. EXHIBIT "B" - Page 5 of 5 MEETING DATE: January 4, 2023 SUBJECT: Public Hearing - Consideration of Order No. 2023-003, Vacating a Public Right of Way in Section 19 of Township 185, Range 12E, W.M. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Following the public hearing, move approval of Board signature of Order No. 2023-003 to vacate a specified public right-of-way within the River Bend Estates subdivision. BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS: Deschutes County Road Department has received a petition to vacate an unimproved, unnamed public right of way within the River Bend Estates subdivision in Section 19 of Township 185, Range 12E, W.M. The petitioners, who are owners of abutting or underlying property to the proposed vacation area, are: • Benjamin Miller, authorized representative for Bend Christian Fellowship, owner of Tax Lot 2200 on Assessor's Map 18-12-19A (Chief Petitioner); • Thomas D. Snell, joint owner of Tax Lot 15100 on Assessor's Map 18-12-19C; • Bryan W. and Donna F. Stiff, owners of Tax Lot 14400 on Assessor's Map 18-12-19C; • David K. McNaughton and Cherlyn L. Vanover, trustees of the McNaughton-Vanover Living Trust, owner of Tax Lot 14300 on Assessor's Map 18-12-19C; and • Paul J. and Cindy B. Shonka, owners of Tax Lot 14200 on Assessor's Map 18-12-19C. The following individuals are owners of abutting or underlying property to the proposed vacation area who are not petitioners to the proposed vacation: • Shanna L. Snell, joint owner of Tax Lot 15100 on Assessor's Map 18-12-19C; • Bryan C. and Cady Zivney, owners of Tax Lot 800 on Assessor's Map 18-12-19CD; and • William J. and Jessica C. Steed, owners of Tax Lot 900 on Assessor's Map 18-12-19CD. The subject right of way is 50 ft. wide and was created by dedication deed recorded at the Deschutes County Clerk's Office as Deed No. 1970-1720616. Road Department records do not indicate why the subject deed was recorded and do not indicate that the subject dedication was accepted by the Board of County Commissioners in accordance with ORS 93.808; nonetheless, the portion of the right of way described in Deed No. 1970-1720616 located east of present-day Tax Lot 2200 was vacated by Deschutes County Order No. 90- 066. The Arnold Irrigation District (AID) Main Canal crosses the southern limits of the proposed vacation area within a separate underlying right of way that is not subject to these vacation proceedings. Private outbuildings appear to exist within the proposed vacation area. There are presently no public road improvements and no public utilities within the proposed vacation area except the aforementioned AID facility. The vacation of the subject right of way across Tax Lot 2200 would allow for planned site improvements for Bend Christian Fellowship, including new building and parking space; however, vacation of the subject right of way over just Tax Lot 2200 would leave an orphaned right of way over and across the remain underlying properties to the south. As such, the chief petitioner has gathered additional abutting property owner signatures as listed above. A public hearing will be held to allow interested parties to provide testimony regarding the proposed vacation. Upon conclusion of the public hearing, the Board of Commissioners will be asked to consider adoption of Order No. 2023-003, which would vacate the subject right of way, vesting it with the rightful owners holding title according to law pursuant to ORS 368.366(1)(c). BUDGET IMPACTS: None. The petitioners have paid the applicable vacation petition fee. ATTENDANCE: Cody Smith, County Engineer/Assistant Road Department Director
