AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board Business Meeting of November 10, 2010
Please see directions for completing this document on the next page.
DATE: November 5, 2010
FROM: Teresa Rozic Property & Facilities 385-1414
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Consideration of signature of Document Number 2010-689, a letter to the Planning Director requesting
approval of the final plat for a two -lot partition in the La Pine Industrial Site.
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? No
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
Deschutes County owns several tracts of industrial land in southern Deschutes County. The La Pine
Industrial Group Inc. manages the land on behalf of the County and markets it to industrial service
firms and light manufacturers that can create jobs in the community.
Biogreen Sustainable Energy Co. ("Biogreen"), based in St. Helens, Oregon, wishes to purchase 19.5
acres in the northeast corner of Lot E of the La Pine Industrial Site (see attached map). Biogreen
proposes to build and operate a biomass power facility.
Deschutes County received approval for a partition to divide an approximate 49.37 -acre parcel into two
parcels. Prior to final plat approval, we must dedicate road right-of-way and install sidewalks. We
want final plat approval now so that Biogreen may apply for building permits, which will preserve
funding commitments they have. According to Deschutes County Code Chapters 17.24.120 and
17.24.130, the Planning Director may approve the final plat before the required improvements are
completed and accepted if the developer can provide a form of security, usually a bond. The County
will complete the required improvements after Biogreen exercises its option to purchase the 19.5 -acre
parcel. Staff does not believe that it is necessary to require the County to provide financial assurance
to itself.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Staff recommends Board signature of Document Number 2010-689.
ATTENDANCE: Teresa Rozic
DISTRIBUTION OF DOCUMENTS:
Original to Teresa Rozic for transmittal to the Planning Director.

Re: MP -10-6
Dear Mr. Lelack:
Deschutes County received approval for a partition to divide an approximate 49.37 -acre parcel into two
parcels in the La Pine Industrial Site. We have made application for the final plat. The County and Biogreen
Sustainable Energy Co. entered into an Option Agreement which, if exercised, will allow Biogreen to
purchase one of the two parcels. Biogreen plans to build a biomass power generation facility on the property.
Biogreen must begin construction as soon as possible in order to preserve funding commitments from various
sources. Deschutes County Code Chapter 17.24.120.B prohibits issuance of any building permits before the
required improvements are completed and accepted by the County. According to DCC 17.24.120 and
17.24.130, the Planning Director may approve the final plat before the required improvements are completed
and accepted if the developer can provide a form of security that is acceptable to the County. Given that the
purpose of the security is to make the County whole in the event the County has to complete the required
improvements instead of the developer and that the County will be completing the improvements in this case
either way, the Board does not believe that it would be appropriate or necessary to require the County to
provide financial assurance to itself.
The Board of County Commissioners has authorized the expenditure of funds and the conditional conveyance
of land specifically for the Biogreen project. Please accept this letter as the financial security cited in DCC
17.24.130.
Sincerely,
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
OF DESCHUTES COUNTY, OREGON
