1. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
2. CITIZEN INPUT
William Kuhn of Sizemore Road said his property is about four miles from the
recent wildfire, and he wanted to talk about wildfires, weeds and other things.
Several neighbors have been working with BLM to help the wildlife habitat,
Tumalo Wildlife Corridor, with some authority to put up signs, close roads and
put up kiosks to help educate the public. On April 26 they were clearing fire
fuels from BLM land and putting some of the vegetation across trails used by
motorcycles.

Just before the wildfires, he was with people from the Department of
Agriculture and some students seeking some rare vegetation. They found some
of it. He was out pulling cheat grass the day of the fires. He has collected a lot
of it. They don’t have a joint ownership agreement in his subdivision. He has
been trying to get this into place for 17 years.
He sent certified letters to the other party with no result. He has appealed but
can’t sell his property until there is an agreement. “You guys” have let this go
on for years.
While the fire was raging, he realized he can’t get permits to fix certain things
on his property because ‘you guys’ won’t do your job. He did not cause this
situation and it is not his fault. The others can’t get permits either, but they
don’t even live there. If his house had burned down, at least he would have
gotten some money out of it.
Chair Baney observed they are aware that there is a long history on this issue.
Dave Doyle agreed to review the information and meet with Mr. Kuhn.
3. Before the Board was Consideration of Chair Signature of Document No.
2014-332, a Notice of Intent to Award Contract Letter for the Household
and Conditionally Exempt Generator Hazardous Waste Management
Program.
Timm Schimke gave an overview of the item. The scope of work also includes
holding two satellite collection events – one is Sisters and one in La Pine.
There was an event in Redmond last year. The cost went up but is within the
normal range for past years, with the extra events.
DEBONE Move Chair signature of Document No. 2014-332.
UNGER: Second.
VOTE: DEBONE: Yes.
UNGER: Yes.
BANEY: Chair votes yes.
4. Before the Board was a Public Hearing and Consideration of Approval of
the Adoption of Document No. 2014-333, the Community Development
Work Plan for Fiscal Year 2014-15.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Monday, June 16, 2014
Page 3 of 12
Chair Baney opened the hearing at this time. There was no opening statement
necessary since it is not a land use decision.
Nick Lelack gave an overview of the Plan. LCDC has to be able to work with
the County on some amendments, in particular Haner Park and similar
developments, but LCDC has to take the lead. Some of this also has to do with
managing river flows, which is overseen by the State Water Resources
Department. This project is being addressed by various groups handling river
issues that are actively pursuing change at the State level.
William Kuhn testified that he proposed a text amendment in 2003 regarding
unfulfilled obligations of a prior issue of a conditional use. That specific text
amendment is at the bottom of page 3 on the 73-page document. He is grateful
it is on the agenda for this coming year, but wanted to encourage the Board to
raise the level of this. It was supposed to be done this past year but wasn’t. He
wants more commitment on the County’s part.
He also has a comment regarding enforcement of County Ordinances, in
particular the decision to not use enforcement on someone in Sisters who wants
to host weddings. He has been doing this inside but wants to build a building
for this. He knowingly entered into contracts to do something that he knew was
not legal or not acceptable, and the Board was not willing to tell him he should
not be doing this. He either has the right or he doesn’t. If it was him, he’d get
signatures on a petition from neighbors and bring the community in.
Chair Baney stated that this was mis-reported in the media. They will not sit
outside his property and wait for an infraction, but will respond to complaints.
No individual is on abeyance if they are subject to Code enforcement.
Paul Lipscomb lives in Cloverdale and wants to support the Code enforcement
conditions of the work plan, and in particular the inclusion of the text
amendment regarding pending Code violations. The rule of law is important to
maintain public confidence in equal application. He was pleased that they are
using volunteers to do some surveying on violations, in particular around
mobile home parks. Apparently there are many mobile home spaces developed
without planning or septic approval. He suggested something should be done
about this.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Monday, June 16, 2014
Page 4 of 12
It seems to be not too onerous to survey other jurisdictions to see if they have
provisions or processes in place if someone wants to expand a current use, and
certify they are in compliance with requirements. It would not be up to the
County to police this, but it needs to be shown they are in compliance. If there
is opposition, it will be easier to determine the level of the problem.
If there are going to be Code provisions, they need to follow them and be in
compliance. It should be a simple matter and a certification should be adequate.
It is interesting to note that a mobile home park has asked to be allowed to
expand, but it would be good to know if that operator is in compliance at this
time. The same kind of analysis would be appropriate in other situations. He
said thanks for the important work and he is proud of the work the Planning
Division is doing.
Andy Hyde asked for removal of this requirement. It will penalize
homeowners. This is another layer of bureaucracy if there is a clear violation of
a Code. Most get resolved voluntarily and the homeowner should not have to
get a permit, for example, a water heater. He feels this wording should be
removed and to continue with the enforcement in place. The County would be
checking for compliance already. He supports the rest of the recommendations.
Paul Dewey for Central Oregon Landwatch said that this is a good record of
what is being done by the County, which is huge. On the Bend UGB, he would
like to encourage staff to work with the City, and the County previously gave
the City great advice that was not followed. They have new leadership now and
he thinks staff would be heard this time around. The City needs the help.
Regarding the Goal 11 exception for South County, it belongs with DEQ to
initiate, rather than the County, and let DEQ take the lead.
At the bottom of page 3, pending code violations, he urged them to do so.
Other counties have. It is not redundant. He knows Code enforcement
resources are stretched and it is not a burden for people to show they are
compliant with the law before getting other approvals. A number of times
important Code violations have occurred and the neighbors and County don’t
have resources to pursue it. Other counties have done this for a long time. It is
a basic rule.
The tracking system on the top of Page 4 is important since land use regulations
are becoming more complex. He would like this applied to agricultural lands
events as well, with the cumulative effect of these to stay informed.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Monday, June 16, 2014

On page 5, exploring storm water management practices, this is vitally
important. The City of Bend decided against treatment of stormwater and
started an injection system instead. It is better not in the river, but originally the
City was to treat stormwater, but now will inject it. This may not be an
appropriate remedy. It is important to know what is being injected into the
groundwater.
Regarding review of surface mining codes and updating inventory, especially
Latham, these really need updating. As development has grown around them or
the sites have evolved, more information on dealing with them is needed.
Item #22, firewise standards for destination resorts, might need to be moved up.
The County went through an extensive planning process for Community Fire
Plans. They were adopted into the Comp Plan by reference. These are
refreshed regularly.
Mr. Dewey said they need to be in the Plan and not reference material. They
need to be enforced. A lot of effort went into these plans and they belong in the
Comp Plan.
Bill Robie, representing the Central Oregon Association of Realtors, supports
the work plan with one exception. They have a good working relationship with
County staff. There are a lot of big, important projects. In that vein, the text
amendment that really should be minor or removed is a solution is search of a
problem. Staff talked about Code enforcement and about 1% of problems result
in a fine. The inclusion of this should not be a priority. It might be used to
exacerbate issues between neighbors. Often Code violations happen because
someone is not aware of it.
Tony Aceti said staff is doing a great job. He is involved and attends a lot of
meetings, and there is a lot of expertise at all levels.
He is concerned about the non-resource type land zoning timeline. There has
been community input. He asked if this will take years to implement. If there
is a big influx of people wanting to be involved, he wants to be part of the
stakeholder input on this.
The Deschutes Junction master plan needs to stay on top, since it has been in
the works for more than four years. He is a stakeholder and wants to share
input. There are changes of circumstances in that area, commercial and
industrial uses already in place so an expansion of those is appropriate, and no
real farming is happening there.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Monday, June 16, 2014
Page 6 of 12
He noted that in his situation, 80% of the soils he has is class 7 or 8. He has
water rights that have not been used for 15 years. Transportation changes
affected the land as well. If this becomes part of a master plan, there are lands
around there that have a higher and better use than agriculture. This property
does not fit the overall classifications. He asked if there will be a frontage road.
Chair Baney said that ODOT would take the lead on this.
He wants to be part of a stakeholder and community for input. It comes down
to how they look at open space. When LCDC was doing the “Big Look’, they
indicated there is a lot of open space in Deschutes County. Mr. Aceti was told
that someone can designate their land as open space, but mostly this has to do
with public lands. Hindering someone from doing more than having open space
is not appropriate.
He does not think someone should be convicted of a violation before the
process is done. He wants to be an active part of the resource lands
conversation, and the Deschutes Junction master plan discussion.
Commissioner Unger is comfortable with the plan as presented. The Planning
Commission is supportive. He understands the destination resort part is
applicant driven. Regarding Code enforcement, there are good discussions and
they are on the right track. Concerning Haner Park, they are being asked to
created conditions that the County can’t institute. They can work with the
Water Resources people and others, but can’t make direct changes.
Commissioner DeBone stated that a Goal 11 exception was mentioned, and the
County will be a partner. The DEQ steering committee suggested the County
be involved in coordination with the DEQ.
The text amendment regarding permits was interesting. It may or may not be a
big issue requiring a lot of staff time. He is not interested in changing the
proposed plan at this point. He thanked all for the work on this. It is a big,
rolling project with a lot of input.
Chair Baney feels this will clarify what they are going to invest in. The
economic downturn helped them get more focused on this. She asked about the
Bend UGB issue. The County is assisting the City as needed and when
requested. Mr. Lelack said they are committed to helping the City, and they
have a good consultant team now.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Monday, June 16, 2014
Page 7 of 12
Chair Baney said the County needs to know what they can take the lead on; the
Goal 11 exception in particular. Mr. Lelack said this is a partnership and the
DEQ has to do the heavy lifting on this. The County is assembling the
application but DEQ will be on it, and DLCD is also involved in justifying the
Goal 11 exception. DEQ and the County will be co-applicants.
Firewise communities, #22, is not what is being done today, but this is added in
perpetuity. All need to be firewise communities going forward. She asked if
this should be added into Code.
Peter Gutowsky stated that rural residential subdivisions don’t require firewise
standards. They have done some retroactively, the historic resorts, but
subdivision code does not include this. Chair Baney stated that Ed Keith does
work with communities on this. Developers want to do it right but need to
know it is available to them.
Mr. Gutowsky stated that Brooks Resources has expressed an interest in a
development west of Bend, and were recommended to contact Ed Keith.
Through Project Wildfire, they have a few tools to make these developments
resilient.
His understanding of the CWPP is that this County is one of the few that has
this in place throughout. It deals predominately with defensible space, sweat
equity programs and other processes. It allows the Forest Service and BLM to
expedite this process on public lands. Regarding land use, this is pu t together
by other agencies as well and there are no specific standards for new
developments. It is important that it is referenced.
Chair Baney said that the Code is the law, and it would be very hard to marry
this up if there are no specific well-defined rules for all. Mr. Gutowsky said the
CWPPs get updated on a regular basis as some get treated and others rise to the
top.
Commissioner Unger stated that the changes are best being referenced so they
don’t have to revise the Comp Plan for every change that comes along. Chair
Baney supports this being a reference document.
Chair Baney is concerned about the item on page 3, prohibiting issuance of a
permit if there is an existing violation. She wondered how many would be
affected, and sees Code as dealing with the many rather than the few. She
proposed this being removed for a more robust discussion.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners’ Business Meeting Monday, June 16, 2014
Page 8 of 12
Mr. Anderson clarified that this item would initiate a discussion and
presupposed that it would be adopted. If the County initiates an amendment,
there could be changes. Chair Baney feels that a text amendment uses a lot of
resources. They have to balance the few and the many, and she does not
understand how large this issue is. Other issues perhaps need more attention.
Mr. Lelack said it would be a significant issue for a very few properties.
Commissioner DeBone said this is a wide-open discussion and does not want to
lock this down to use it against someone unless it is clear. He would consider
removing it for more discussion. Chair Baney stated she does not know how
many permits are issued if someone is already in Code enforcement. Perhaps
there is another option than a text amendment. Commissioner Unger feels they
need to put this to bed so they won’t have to grapple with it forever.
Mr. Lelack said that regarding destination resort mapping amendments and this
amendment, they could slide this to table 2. They will hit the 30-month mark
for destination resort mapping soon. An applicant can then apply to initiate
changes for this.
Chair Baney said she would like more discussion regarding the permit issue. It
could be added at another time if appropriate. She wants data on how many
properties it might involve and how other counties handle this. Commissioner
Unger said they can’t take it off the work plan and expect work to be done on it.
Mr. Lelack said this will be a part of the Code Enforcement Policy update in
August as well. Chair Baney says it states ‘initiate text amendment’ and she
feels it should be worded differently.
Mr. Gutowsky asked about the destination resort mapping changes. They can
remove or hear from someone who wants to add. Any amendment would be
borne by the applicant. The Board agreed.
The hearing was closed.

as discussed.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Nick Lelack, AICP, Director
DATE: June 10, 2013
SUBJECT: Consideration of Approval of the Community Development Department Annual Report
& Work Plan for Fiscal Year 2014-15
The purposes of this public hearing item are to present, gain public input, discuss, and approve the
Community Development Department (COD) Annual Report and Work Plan for Fiscal Year (FY) 2014-15
(July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015).
BACKGROUND
Each spring, COD prepares an Annual Report and Work Plan describing annual accomplishments and a
proposed work plan for the coming fiscal year. The work plan describes the most important objectives
and proposed projects in each COD division. It is intended that a review of the draft work plan will
provide the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC), Planning Commission, Historic Landmarks
Commission, County Administration and COD's customers and partner agencies the opportunity to
provide input, including additions, modifications and possible re-prioritization. The work plan also serves
as the context within which new projects that arise during the course of the year are prioritized and
undertaken.
WORK PLAN & MATRICES
COD's primary objective in FY 2014-15 will be to maintain high customer service levels with increasing
development activity in the rural county, cities of La Pine, Sisters, and Redmond, and Lake and Klamath
counties, while sustaining appropriate staffing levels across all divisions. Two additional high priority
objectives will be to complete the installation of the State's ePermitting software, Accela, and to create
a 5-year strategic plan for the department.
The Planning Division Draft Work Plan consistently generates public interest. It proposes to carry over
projects from the current fiscal year into FY 2014-15 and to utilize available resources to establish, maintain
and/or improve several internal tracking systems for:
• Comprehensive Plan and Community/Area Plan implementation activities, updates, revisions, and the
development of new regional plans.
Quality Services Performed with Pride
• Requirements and obligations for destination resorts and other major developments.
• Potential future text amendments or code sections to be reviewed and/or updated.
Each of these tracking systems will be included in subsequent annual reports.
Below, Table 1 lists the Planning Division's proposed long range planning projects for FY 14-15. Table 2
summarizes Comprehensive Plan policies and citizen recommended work tasks. Table 2 projects are not
currently proposed to be initiated in FY 14-15 due to limited resources .
On June 4, BOCC directed staff to indicate the general resources and timeframes required to complete
each project. Staff uses a "minor" and "significant" rating to gauge a project's required resources and
timeframe .
• A minor rating equates to 2-4 months to complete and 0 .25-0.75 full time equivalent (FTE) of long
range planning staff.
• A moderate rating equates to 4-8 months to complete and 0.5-1.0 FTE.
• A Significant rating spans 6-12 months or longer and requires 1.0-2 .0 FTE with possible consultants .
Some projects identified as "minor" can evolve and extend the amount of resources and projected
timeframe significantly as demonstrated by the Centra I Oregon Irrigation District text amendment to
allow as an outright permitted use, piping the Pilot Butte CanaL l The resources required for several
projects therefore may change depending on different factors.

HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMISSION REVIEW
Each year, the Historic Landmarks Commission (HLC) reviews the few elements in the Planning Division's
Work Plan related to historic preservation. On May 5, the HLC reviewed and supported the draft Work Plan
as proposed.

I
PlANNING COMMISSION REVIEW
Each year, the Planning Commission reviews the Work Plan and conducts a work session and public hearing
prior to making a recommendation to the BOCC. On April 24, the Planning Commission conducted a work
session and on May 8 conducted a public hearing on the draft Planning Division Work Plan.
Public input to the Planning Commission included the following:
1. Property owners requested to be unmapped from the County's destination resort maps, and in
support of the Planning Division's draft economic development action item: "Announce in August
2014 that the opportunity for remapping lands to the County's Destination Resort Map is available, and
process any applications.',3 Staff coordinated with County legal counsel because all of the property
owners live in The Rim at Aspen lakes, a subdivision affiliated with the Aspen lakes Cluster
Development. The BOCC, through Ordinances Nos. 2010-024 and 2010-025 adopted a process and
eligibility criteria for amending Deschutes County's destination resort maps. One comprehensive
plan policy in particular applies to these unmapping requests:
Section 3.9 -Destination Resorts
Policy 3.9.3 -Mapping for destination resort siting.
d. For those lands not located in any of the areas designated in Policy 3.9.3(a) though (c),
destination resorts may, pursuant to Goal 8, Oregon Revised Statute and Deschutes County
zoning code, be sited in the following areas:
5. All property within a subdivision for which cluster development approval was obtained
prior to 1990, for which the original cluster development approval designated at least 50
percent of the development as open space and which was within the destination resort
zone prior to the effective date of Ordinance 2010-024 shall remain on the eligibility map
[emphasis addedl:
According to the underlined wording above, CDD, assuming the BOCC directs staff to initiate a
process to amend the County's destination resort maps, could not recommend approving these
unmapping request because the lots are located in a subdivision meeting the criteria of Policy
3.93(d)(5). The Comp Plan criterion states "shall remain."
To change this policy, one would need to initiate a comprehensive plan text amendment.
2. KJ. Phillips, Jerry Hubbard, and Commissioner Powell submitted written proposals for projects to be
initiated. These projects are listed on the attached matrix under "Citizen Initiated Requests."
After conSidering public comments provided at the hearing and in writing, the Commission recommended
the draft Annual Report and Work Plan to the BOCC as proposed.
Since the Planning Commission's reView, the Haner Park Homeowners Association submitted written
comments regarding the CDD Work Plan for the BOCC's consideration (see Attachment 2).
3 Specifically, these residents stated their properties are mapped as eligible for destination resorts and they wish to have their
properties removed from the eligibility maps.
-7
REQUESTED BOCC ACTION
1. Conduct a public hearing on the CDD Annual Report and Work Plan.
2. Continue or close the public hearing.
3. If the hearing is closed:
a. Discuss the CDD Annual Report and Work Plan FY 14-15 and:
i. Approve the document as proposed or as modified by the BOCC at this meeting; or
ii. Continue the discussion on the document to June 30, 2014.
b. Discuss the annual report and work plan on June 30, 2014, and approve the document as
proposed or as modified by the BOCC on that date.
4. Continue the hearing to June 30, 2014.

COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GOALS, CONTINUED
1. Maintain high customer service levels with increasing
development activity in the rural county and in the cities of
La Pine, Sisters, Redmond, and Lake and Klamath counties
while: (1) sustaining appropriate staffing levels across all
divisions and programs; (2) completing the replacement of
aging vehicles and technology; and (3) providing training for
existing and new staff on regular updates to Accela and
related technologies and equipment.
2. Develop and Adopt a 5-Year Strategic Plan
CDD will develop its first 5-Year Strategic Plan in FY 14-15. This
process started in FY 13-14 with staff creating a Draft Strategic
Plan Framework (below). The CDD Strategic Plan will carry out the
department’s Work Plan Objectives (above) and guide decisions
over the next five years. The Strategic Plan will be updated on a
regular basis. As such, we are committed to revisiting the
Strategic Plan annually to refine the alignment of the priorities of
the plan with the BOCC’s goals and objectives, fiscal realities, and
our customers’ priorities.
We intend to learn what works and what needs to be improved, so
that the plan will remain relevant and continue to provide direction
over time. We continue to welcome everyone’s input on the
delivery of this plan and the services our department provides.
1. Financial Plan. Develop 5-year financial and permit projections
with experts, stakeholders, and the BOCC as the basis for
creating a financial plan to make sound financial management
decisions and build CDD’s long-term fiscal strength.
2. Human Resources/Succession Plan/Organizational Culture.
The Human Resources element will also address how to
empower our department’s most valuable asset, our
employees. Develop and implement a succession plan to
sustain high levels of customer service and efficient operations
during transitional periods caused by several senior level
retirements. Establish strategies to support and foster an
outstanding organizational culture.
3. Facilities Plan. Coordinate with the Property and Facilities
Department, stakeholders, the BOCC and others to conduct a
high level evaluation of CDD’s existing and potential facilities,
including locations and hours of operation where one-stop
shared development services shops are provided such as the
Sisters and La Pine City Halls, and identify whether
improvements may be necessary over the planning period.

and partnerships (i.e., one-stop shop at the City of La Pine); and
explore additional opportunities to provide services that benefit
our customers in a cost-effective, efficient manner.
5. Operations Plan. Create a plan for CDD’s operations with
appropriate policies where applicable to address the following:
a. Technology
b. Vehicles
c. Communications

COORDINATED SERVICES
AAACCOMPLISHMENTSCCOMPLISHMENTSCCOMPLISHMENTS
OOOVERVIEWVERVIEWVERVIEW The Coordinated Services Division provides service to customers
at the main office in Bend, as well as at satellite offices in
Redmond and La Pine. The Division consists of six permit
technicians and two code enforcement technicians. The goals
of the Division are to ensure minimal wait times, provide
accurate information to the public, and ensure the efficient
operation of the front counter. Staff also perform basic building
plan reviews and addressing in the rural county and City of
Redmond under contract.
Developed, coordinated and facilitated the adoption of
intergovernmental agreements and contracts with the state,
software vendor, cities, and the County’s IT and Legal
Departments to install the State of Oregon’s ePermitting
software program, Accela Automation.
Coordinated and installed Accela Automation for the
Building, Environmental Soils, Planning, and Coordinated
Services/Code Enforcement Divisions, and for the cities of
Redmond (Planning and Building Divisions) and Sisters
(Building Division).
Organized and trained all County CDD staff, Redmond and
Sisters staff, and customers to implement and efficiently use
Accela. Provided training courses for licensed professionals
in conjunction with Central Oregon Builders Association and
the State of Oregon on Accela and ePermitting. Much of this
training will be ongoing.
Converted credit card machines to virtual merchant devices
for credit card transactions.
Trained and coordinated with City of Sister’s staff on processing
building permit applications, estimating and calculating fees,
and ensuring the appropriate permits are issued.
Completed the database cleanup project (carried over from
prior years).
In coordination with GIS and IT, Coordinated Services
continued to assess equipment used by all CDD staff to
ensure that operational needs were met. The team
developed project list that will enhance service, staff
efficiency and communications. Projects included:
(1) providing tablets to building and environmental health
inspectors and code enforcement technicians in the field to
provide real-time inspection results; making data available to
inspectors in the field; and improving communication and

photography tools; (2) providing linkages to historical
documents where parcel numbers have changed; (3) creating
new types of online permit applications; and (4) reviewing
business processes and procedures and making several
adjustments to accommodate and fully utilize Accela.
Train staff in Administration and Crystal Reports as part of
the contract with the Accela vendor. This training will allow
staff to create custom reports and perform changes in the

The Code Enforcement program consists of two Code Enforcement technicians (2 FTE in 2013-
2014) plus volunteers, supported by a law enforcement technician from the Sheriff’s Department,
management and the operating divisions. Code Enforcement is responsible for investigating code
violation complaints associated with building, land use, onsite wastewater disposal and solid waste
codes, with the overriding goal of achieving voluntary compliance. If necessary, Code Enforcement
may issue citations for prosecution in circuit court or before a Code Enforcement hearings officer.
AAACCOMPLISHMENTSCCOMPLISHMENTSCCOMPLISHMENTS
Code Enforcement staff successfully resolved 264 cases in 2013.
The number of new Code Enforcement cases increased 8% in Year 2013. Accommodating this

Statewide Planning Goal 1, Citizen Involvement, requires cities
and counties to create a citizen involvement program that
provides opportunities for community participation in land use
planning processes and decisions. Land use legislation, policies
and implementation measures made by Oregonians 40 years ago
helped shape Oregon’s urban and rural environments. Likewise,
choices made today will ultimately shape these areas in the
future. Successful land use planning occurs through an open and
public process that provides room for information gathering,
analysis and vigorous debate. Deschutes County’s Community
Involvement program is defined in Section 1.2 of the
Comprehensive Plan. This chapter identifies the County Planning
Commission as the committee for citizen involvement (Deschutes
County Code 2.52.020D requires membership on the Commission
to be representative of the various geographic areas of the
County.) It also contains the County’s Community Involvement
goal and corresponding five policies that comply with Goal 1
(http://www.deschutes.org/Community-Development/Planning/
Title-23-Comprehensive-Plan/3_Chapter-1.aspx. Pages 9-12).
This report briefly discusses the noteworthy community involve-
ment actions undertaken by the Planning Division in 2013. The
report is intended to provide County residents and stakeholders
with a tool to assess its effectiveness and offer additional
suggestions the County can utilize to ensure that its diverse
communities remain actively involved in land use planning
discussions.
As noted in the Community Development Department’s (CDD)
2014 Annual Report, administering the zoning code requires the
Current Planning Division to processes individual land use
applications, zoning review and signoff for building and septic
permits. Current planners maintain legally prescribed turnaround
times on land use applications (150-days) and provide customer
service through assistance at the front counter, telephone
conversations, and appointments. Telephone messages are
returned within 24 hours.
A number of prominent quasi-judicial land use applications, which
required public hearings with a hearings officer and, depending
on the underlying zoning, the Board of County Commissioners,
occurred in 2014.

In 2013, the Deschutes County Community Development/Planning
Director distributed a departmental update newsletter every other
month containing current and long-range planning projects; Histor-
ic Landmarks Commission, Planning Commission, and Board of
County Commissioners calendars; noteworthy land use issues and
decisions; and legislative subcommittee
discussions. This update is emailed to residents, stakeholders,
partner organizations and agencies which have requested copies. It
is also posted on the CDD website and the County’s Facebook page.
In 2013, CDD utilized the County’s website as a primary tool of
public communication and information for public meetings;
pending land use applications; long-range planning projects;
posting the CDD Update; and providing links to current and past
BOCC and Planning Commission meetings. In addition, CDD
coordinated with the County’s Communications Director to
publish press releases and announce new documents, etc. on the
County’s Facebook page.
Finally, CDD coordinated with the Information Technology

property, development/permits, assessor records, and interactive
mapping. DIAL 2 is intended to increase access, simplify, and
consolidate information in one place for the benefit of the general
public.
Deschutes County amended its Comprehensive Plan to formally
recognize an area-specific plan, titled Newberry Country: A Plan
for Southern Deschutes County. The Plan encompasses the rural
areas south of Lava Butte with two exceptions: Sunriver and La
Pine are governed separately. It addresses the area’s unique
assets, local values and preferences for growth and development,
the environment, natural hazards, transportation and more. The
Plan represents a legal framework for implementing a vision for
building stronger, more resilient rural communities by managing
growth in this region to 2032. This is a Plan that recognizes the
realities facing rural Deschutes County, while acknowledging what
governments can and cannot influence. It demonstrates
leadership for improving the ways in which collaboration can
occur among all sectors: government, businesses, non-profits,
and residents to achieve a shared vision. This Plan presents the
results of the planning process that led to the development of its
goals and policies. Following extensive public outreach in 2012,

Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 8:19 AM
To: Peter Gutowsky; Nick Lelack; Tom Anderson
Subject: Newberry Country (South County) Plan
The Haner Park Homeowners Association took an active role in the development of the Newberry Country
(South County) Plan. Members ofthe HOA board attended public information sessions, provided input on the
draft plan and engaged County planning staff with our membership at the annual summer meeting. Overall,
we were very pleased with the collaborative approach taken by the County and we were happy to support the
plan.
While the overall plan is a promising vision for the south county area, there are a number of items that are of
higher importance to our membership. We would like to see these items added to the County's work plan.
Policy 1.4 -Sharing information ....
Our membership can only engage with the county on issues we know are occurring. We encourage the county
to follow through on actively engaging our homeowners board on land use and planning issues that effect
Haner Park and the Upper Deschutes River area.
We request that you keep us informed at hanerparkhoa@gmail.com.
Policy 5.2 -Develop a work plan, in coordination with property owners, to update the
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning designations to reflect the land use and
development patterns in Section 36, Haner Park and other applicable areas with
long-standing issues, while protecting ecologically significant natural areas or
resources.
This is a significant issue for our residents. The current forest zoning regulations are impractical in a rural
residential community. Most properties cannot even legally build a wood shed without obtaining a variance
1
from the County. This is an expensive and unnecessary burden on both the property owners and county
staff. Updating the zoning to reflect the actual rural residential conditions that the county has approved is a
necessary and urgent need.
We request the county to add this to your work plan and provide partial or full reduction in the land use
fees associated with the zoning conflicts until the ioning issues have been resolved.
Policy 12.4 -Work with the U.S. Forest Service to address maintenance of Forest Service
roads that provide access to rural subdivisions, such as USFS # 44.
USFS #44 is a primary access route to Wickiup Reservoir and all of the surrounding areas. It is heavily used for
recreation and is a primary safety and emergency access route for the Haner Park residents. Currently, the
Haner Park residents fund all of the winter access on that road. It needs more regular grading and gravel for
the amount of travel it receives, the majority of which are not Haner Park property owners.
Policy 16.11 -Participate with all partners in the upper Deschutes Basin on a comprehensive water
management plan that restores and manages flows in the upper Deschutes River while meeting the needs of
users and property owners.
The management of the water flow in the upper Deschutes is unacceptable. Not only is it not wild and scenic,
but our property is also being significantly impacted by the extreme high and low flows of the river. Last fall,
the widely publicized fish kills near Bend were significant. The upper section just below Wickiup Dam, Haner
Park and below also experienced fish kills. We request that the County actively work to stabilize the flows in
the river. This can be accomplished by raising the winter flows to the legal, in stream rights of 300 cfs and
working to lower the summer flows through conservation and sharing of rights between the irrigation
districts.
We understand that the County has a number of competing priorities and thank you for working with the
Haner Park HOA to accomplish these shared priority items.
Sincerely,

Dear Planning Director Lelack:
Once again, we are writing to request that our two parcels, located at 69225 and 69245
Hawksflight Dr., Sisters, OR 97759, be removed from the destination resort overlay map.
Our properties, which consists of two single-family home lots of approximately two
acres each, in an area zoned RR-10, in a completed housing subdivision, are impractical!
implausible for siting a brand new resort. They do not meet the county or state
destination resort eligibility criteria, such as the 160-acre minimum lot size. A resort
cannot be sited on our housing lots.
Deschutes County has freely allowed those who were included on the 1992 original
resort map to "opt in" and stay on the map. We expect to enjoy the same control over
our property, by opting out of the resort map.
Remove our property, which is now and has always been in good standing for payment
of all property taxes, from the resort overlay map. If there are fees and forms required,
please advise us on what we must submit and when.
If this request is denied, please provide a written response with the legal and statutory
rationale.

Dear Director Lelack,
It is my understanding that it is currently possible that there could be an effort to convert our property and our
subdivision and open space to a resort -which would be an erroneous application of existing laws. Therefore
we urgently request that our property (69265 Hawksflight Drive) be removed from the destination resort
overlay map.
For one thing, such a resort cannot be sited on our 19 housing lots. This area is zoned RR-I0, and does not
meet either county or state criteria for a destination resort (eg. not be a platted subdivision which we are, nor the
160 acre minimum lot size requirement). I believe both the county and DLCD (in 2008) have confirmed that
housing subdivisions cannot become resort locations.
It is imperative, and our right, to request exclusion from the destination resort overlay map. Please advise us of
any need to formalize this in writing and of any costs which may be involved.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Frank R. Baldwin

The following is our issues and position on allowing people to campout on vacant lots in a residential neighborhood.

The existing policy harms the livability of our neighborhood and has a negative impact on our right to live in peace and

to enjoy their neighborhood and not be required by county ordinance to live with campers and the intolerable life style
they bring to our neighborhood.

• Families living in smalltraiJers spend most of their time outdoors around a warming fire, yelling back and forth
between family members.
• Junk accumulates on the property.
• There is no wording in the ordinance requiring the owners to remove their junk and cleanup their property at
the end of the six months permit.
o Can they leave the site as is until they get a new 6 moth permit.
• While the area is zones RR-10 allowing camping for six months harms the full time residents who pay thousands
of dollars in property tax vs. a vacant lot taxed at $90 a year.
o There is no benefit to permanent residents by allowing camping in the neighborhood. "Don't Tread On
Me" applies to permanent residents.
o Our property values and property values diminish and the County has the potential of loosing tax
revenue when a neighborhood is degraded by campers.
New Policy:
• Should address the above issues and permanent residents concerns.
• Major restrictions should be placed on temporary use of property in a residential neighborhood.
Attached are photo's of homes in our neighborhood and one of an open field and several with the camping family
who has lived on Bakersfield Road for 1.9 years ( can you hear the hum of the generator? We have for almost two
years!
