MINUTES OF BUSINESS MEETING
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 28, 2009
Commissioners' Hearing Room - Administration Building - 1300 NW Wall St., Bend
Present were Commissioners Tammy Baney, Dennis R. Luke and Alan Unger.
Also present were Dave Kanner, County Administrator; Erik Kropp, Deputy
County Administrator; Susan Ross and Teresa Rozic, Property & Facilities; Tom
Anderson, Kevin Harrison and Nick Lelack, Community Development; Tom Blust,
Road Department; Tyler Deke from Bend MPO; and about a dozen other citizens,
including representatives of the media.
Chair Baney opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m.
1. Before the Board was Citizen Input.
None was offered.
2. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2009-
620, an Amendment to the Intergovernmental Cooperative Agreement
Establishing the Bend Metropolitan Planning Organization.
Tom Blust gave a brief overview of the item. The original agreement was done
years ago, so this incorporates various changes. A lot of the governance issues
were pulled out of the intergovernmental agreement and were put instead into
by -laws. There is one change in the IGA is in section 9.1, which has to do with
the effective date, which would be by signature.
LUKE: Move approval of Document No. 2009 -620, to be effective at the
time all signatures have been obtained.
UNGER: Second.

3. Before the Board was Consideration of Approval of County
Administrator's Signature of Public Facilities Improvement Agreements
(Documents No. 2009 -622 through 628) with the City of Bend for the
Oregon State Police /911 Building Project.
Susan Ross presented an oversized general site plan map to the Board, in
response to a request by Commissioner Luke. A discussion then took place
regarding access to roads that will be declared public roads by the City of Bend.
Commissioner Luke asked that this issue be clarified before signature.
LUKE: Move approval of the documents.
UNGER: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
UNGER: Yes.
BANEY: Chair votes yes.
4. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2009-
605, an Option Agreement with Society of St. Vincent De Paul, La Pine.
Teresa Rozic gave an overview of the item, which has been previously
discussed during work sessions. They have two years to exercise the option,
$1,000 to exercise it, and $10,000 to reimburse the County for infrastructure
expenses. The property is just east of the senior center and the affordable
housing development. Discussed were improvements to Victory Way; that
construction financing is in place; and $20,000 would be set aside for future
road improvements (paragraph 7.4 on page 5). Also, a profit sharing clause is
included. If within ten years of the agreement the entity sells to someone who
is not a nonprofit agency, the property would revert back to the County.
Members of St. Vincent de Paul were present. Corrine Martinez, President,
said their board has met and is pleased with the agreement. This will help them
relocate into a much better building. Jerry Moore, project manager, has done a
lot of groundwork already. He said that Peter Bauer is the architect, who is
already familiar with the project. They hope to get all of the funding in place
soon.

Commissioner Luke said that there are a lot of nonprofits who look to the
County for support. Dave Kanner said that St. Vincent de Paul provides a lot of
social services that may otherwise have to be provided by a government agency,
and should be supported.
Commissioner Luke pointed out that this parcel, seven acres, was set aside for
uses of all kinds that benefit the community.
Commissioner Unger asked about the funds held for future road improvements;
he thought that perhaps a way to handle this is to allow payments or allow for
this to be paid at a later date. Mr. Kanner stated this number is based on the
improvements at the present time. The funds will be held in an interest - bearing
account, and it is hoped that this will help keep pace with inflation until such
time the road needs to be built.
Ms. Martinez added that this organization is stable and has a good record of
helping citizens in this area.
LUKE: Move approval of Document No. 2009 -605.
UNGER: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
UNGER: Yes.
BANEY: Chair votes yes.
5. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2009-
614, an Amendment to a Promissory Note regarding the Sale of County -
Owned Property.
Ms. Rozic said that a nonprofit organization named Four Winds asked for
temporary relief with the mortgage payment on the property they are buying
from the County since they, like others, are having a problem with cash flow.
The loan would be restructured for a brief period of time but there would be no
loss to the County. They have never been delinquent with payments.
LUKE: Move approval of Document No. 2009 -614.
UNGER: Second.
VOTE: LUKE: Yes.
UNGER: Yes.
BANEY: Chair votes yes.

6. Before the Board was a Public Hearing on Remand on an Application from
David Hurtley for a Determination of Whether he is Entitled to Relief
under Ballot Measure 49.
Steve Griffin opened the public hearing (a copy of the opening statement is
attached for reference). Commissioner Luke asked if Measure 49 is for land
use issues. Mr. Griffin said it is not.
In response to the question regarding conflicts of interest, bias or prejudgment,
all three Commissioners indicated they had none. There were no challenges to
Board qualifications.
Mr. Griffin said that the criteria are clear, as Ed Fitch is the only party who is
still involved.
Mr. Griffin said this concerns 29.8 acres in unincorporated area outside of the
Sisters urban growth boundary, with a proposal of five lots from 5 to 6.9 acres.
Originally the land use application had six existing homes; two were removed,
leaving four. The proposal configured the lot lines so that there are homes on
each of four parcels, with one left vacant for a future home. The proposal calls
for a net increase of one home.
There is an issue about two of the homes. Measure 49 vacated or extinguished
all existing Measure 37 waivers, but gave the recipients a six -month window to
obtain common law vested right. There has been a lot of litigation on what the
window means; but it is thought that they had until November 6, 2007 to invest
enough to obtain the right. There was concern about a rush to construct. The
Deschutes County courts said there is nothing wrong with this action. From
staff perspective, there are no concerns about good faith of the applicants in this
regard.
The courts came up with vested rights to protect owners from unintended
changes to the law, and to protect them when they are halfway through
construction. The Goal Post statute replaced the issue of common law vested
rights. However, appellant courts said that does not apply with Measure 49.
Complicating this is whether an applicant can achieve a vested right before
tentative subdivision approval becomes final. On page 6 of the staff report, the
relevant timeline was detailed. The quandary is that a vested right was declared
on a date when there was no final approval of the project. No court has
addressed this exact issue. In twenty years, the vested rights issue has not come
up until now.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Page 4 of 15 Pages
There are authorities that appear to suggest that an applicant cannot obtain a
vested right within that window, waiting for final approval. It would force the
governing body's hand of not being able to change, reverse or deny the land use
or subdivision application. Either you have the vested right or you don't. If
you have a vested right to complete the project, the governing authority does
not have the right to take that away. Since the governing body has the final say
on land use decisions, it does not fit with the specified date.
In the applicant's favor, there is the fact that the decision came out on
December 3, and the applicant did not have any control over that date. They
did not delay the application and proceeded as quickly as they could. It is an
odd situation that the approval did not come before the deadline.
Commissioner Luke said the record closed on September 3. On page 3 of 42
the applicant waived final arguments, so there was nothing else that came in
after that date. He asked why it took 90 days to get a decision on this matter.
Mr. Griffin said that there is no good explanation for this. He did not ask the
Hearings Officer for an explanation. There was nothing terribly complicated
about this situation. There was little impact of Measure 49. The applicant did
not contribute to this delay. If it is the case that a vested right cannot be
achieved before final land use approval, they are left out in the cold.
Commissioner Luke asked if the Hearings Officer was aware of the date so that
the applicant's rights could be protected. Mr. Griffin said he did not know.
Mr. Griffin stated that the second issue relates to incurred expenses, and Mr.
Fitch has given a revised expense ratio. There is about $4,000 difference
between the recommendations of staff and the applicant. This has to do with
whether Measure 49 expenses should be included in the proposal. There are
also engineering expenses that staff feels are not properly documented. There is
an opinion from the vendor that the value of the services is about $2,500, but
there is no way to know if this is a reasonable amount. The bottom line is that
$4,000 is not going to make a big difference. The total project cost is the
consideration.
Commissioner Luke asked about leaving out septic feasibility costs, although
the Hearings Officer made it a requirement. Mr. Griffin replied that a Supreme
Court case creates the concept of vested rights, and the case seems to exclude
boring test holes. It is a nominal expense as well, at $225. The third issue
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Page 5 of 15 Pages
relates to total project costs. There are figures in the staff report and work sheet
showing the ratio for one home.
The question relates to the configuration of the four remaining homes. The
Hearings Officer felt that approving the tentative plan relating to lot 3 and lot 4,
one did not have a building permit on file, and did not meet setbacks. One of
the dwellings may be illegal as it was approved as an accessory farm dwelling
to a property that may no longer be a farm. The question is what can be done
with these homes. The applicant prefers that they be left. However, if they
have Code violations that need to be corrected, it seems to staff that the project
may include improper homes. This needs to be clarified.
Commissioner Unger expressed concerns about this aspect, especially if newer
homes replace the older ones. Commissioner Luke said that there is only one
lot that has not yet been improved, tax lot 700. He asked what questions can be
asked. Two are manufactured homes that could be replaced by stick -built
homes. Commissioner Baney feels that they are trying to bring these homes
into compliance through this action.
Mr. Griffin stated that a challenge is that there is not particularly a good way to
know. Chair Baney asked if they are approved today, what happens. Mr.
Griffin said the applicant would continue with infrastructure, and paperwork
would be based on where the homes would be placed, whether a permit process
is needed. This does not necessarily grant the right to do this construction.
Commissioner Luke stated that the question is whether they have met the
requirements of vested rights. They could come back with a lower number.
Mr. Griffin said that the Measure 37 waivers are no longer good in any case.
The last issue has to do with on the ground construction. His reading of the
authorities is that all expenses are not created equal, that the case he pointed out
what where the Court of Appeals said that a building permit is not enough for a
vested right. Most of the on the ground work has been done and the applicant
said they proceeded in good faith.
If the Board believes the applicant does have a vested right in spite of the
window of time, and if the Board believes that enough investment has been
done to support this, it can be approved.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Page 6 of 15 Pages
Commissioner Luke asked if the law or court decisions talks about the value of
the property at this time or at a certain date. The target date was December 6,
2007. The applicant demonstrated that the market was declining. The
investment has been about $100,000, not including the land There is also
consensus is that the cost of homes is labor and material, not including markup.
The $100,000 is adequate. Mr. Hurtley is not in Code enforcement, but perhaps
the building on Lot 3 might be.
Ed Fitch, representing the applicant, addressed questions regarding the homes.
This property is an anomaly, with multiple homes already on one lot. They
were built over 30 years ago. In 2003 there was a planning process when the
County confirmed these homes were valid and legal, on September 11, 2003.
The County authorized stick -built homes to be built at that time.
The reason one was out of compliance on the setback, the setback requirements
were not in place when the home was built. This is a fifty -foot setback from the
perimeter. There are four legal homes as confirmed by the County. The goal
was to take those four homes and put them on separate lots. There is agreement
that the cost of the home would be about $100,000. The scope of the project is
five lots and one home since the other homes were deemed to be legal. The
decision is 2003 is brief. The homes were legal but could not be sold
separately.
Commissioner Luke asked if they are being used. Mr. Fitch said one is
occupied by the applicant, one by his son and two are rented.
The vesting does not say that they can sell the homes right now, as conditions
of final plat approval have to be met. A decision on Measure 49 does not mean
these conditions do not have to be met.
The written decision dates does not compare with common law vesting. It took
twelve days later per County law to get a final decision. Common law vesting
depends on thresholds of project costs. In this case, there is a minimum of 12%
or more, when only about 7% is required by the Supreme Court decision.
Mr. Fitch said that there have been four appellant cases under Measure 49.
(He then discussed some court cases to support his argument.) Those who had
Measure 37 cases that rolled into Measure 49 are stuck in awkward situation.
He said the underlying principle is fairness, but the 90 day approval timeframe
was the problem.

He then presented a document to the Board at this time. Measure 37 fees and
work on that issue should be eligible expenses. They are a barrier to getting a
final development done; nothing further can be done without doing that first.
The Hearings Officer considered it the ticket to get in the door. There is no
case law that indicates those fees are not appropriate to include as "soft costs"
that are necessary. An allowance for the costs spent on the 13 -lot subdivision
version that was not approved should be considered as well, since some were
required for either one, in the amount of about $2,500. The test hole was also a
necessary. This is in Code anyway, and had to be done before the ground froze.
When looking at all the factors of how the homes interplay, there was about a
2.5 year effort to get it going. Either there is a substantial investment on the
ground or in the project. There is no ground requirement for this, and the
question is whether or not there is a 7% investment in the homes.
Commissioner Luke asked that since this involves a rear lot setback, is the
house grandfathered in. Mr. Griffin said that at the time it was in compliance,
and had to be occupied or used. It could be a nonconforming use, but he is not
sure.
Commissioner Luke asked if the 2003 finding was to have this type of
structures made legal. Mr. Griffin said that it has not been verified and he is not
sure which one of the four homes was excluded. The Hearings Officer did not
map them out
Mr. Fitch said a septic permit was required in the early 1970's but none for the
building. David Hurtley said he built the house himself and did what they were
required to do at the time. He does not recall what permits were required.
Commissioner Luke said that Central Electric Cooperative would know when
the meter went in. Chair Baney said that it is unlikely that they could have
replaced that structure with another after permits began to be required. Mr.
Fitch said these questions came up during the process and he believes a septic
permit was submitted into the record.
Commissioner Baney observed that the percentage of improvements, there is a
different between four or five homes. Mr. Griffin said the difference would be
between 5.9 and 7.9, which makes it a closer call. The issue is the other factors.
The agreed upon figures put it comfortably in the area where it is appropriate.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Page 8 of 15 Pages
Chair Baney said that there would not be any excavation work required. Mr.
Griffin said there are no roads to be installed, no other infrastructure required,
and in his view is in favor of the vested rights approval.
Commissioner Luke asked for the date in 1973 when permits began to be
required. Tom Anderson replied he did not know. Commissioner Luke said
that before then there was nothing required except an electrical and septic
permit. The City of Bend had some requirements, but the County did not.
Mr. Fitch indicated that this should not be the breakpoint for vested rights, as it
would not make that much difference in cost. In figuring the respective nature
of the cost of homes, perhaps a ratio is not needed. Five subdivision
applications were reviewed by the courts and found that this breakdown was not
necessary. Others have come to the same conclusion. The cost of a home could
be anywhere from $80,000 to $200,000. The conclusion is whether a
substantial enough dollar amount has been invested. Sometimes that kind of
precise figure is not obtainable or relevant. There is a long -term commitment
and investment in the project.
Chair Baney asked how much has to be done. Mr. Fitch said final work by the
surveyor is needed and some paperwork completed, amounting to perhaps
$10,000.
Mr. Griffin added that the first issue is the approvals not being final. He is not
sure this is divorced from the vested rights. The cost of getting that approval
has been included in the figures, but he is not sure he agrees. The question
becomes whether there is a property right or vested right without final approval.
This is a concern, because the Board is the final authority on this approval.
Chair Baney asked how they could get final approval without vested rights
approval. It took a long time to process the information. Mr. Griffin said there
is nothing they could have done to get the decision any sooner. They did not
contribute to this delay. It is an unfortunate circumstance of timing for the
applicant, and the applicant also bears the cost of the delay.
Commissioner Luke stated that government performed actions that took away
property rights, thus the resulting laws. He feels staff has some responsibility
as they knew the deadline.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Page 9 of 15 Pages
At this time, Mr. Fitch pointed out that the septic application was obtained in
early 1973.
Commissioner Unger said that this situation seems rather unique. Deadlines are
common in land use, but this is different. Mr. Griffin stated there are time
limits for appeals to LUBA, and notices to the Court of Appeals; and if the date
is missed, the applicant or appellant is out in the cold. It could be a result of a
clerical error in the courts or at LUBA, but it does not matter.
Commissioner Luke pointed out that if the County does not issue a decision
within the time limit, the applicant gets what he or she wants. Commissioner
Unger said that this was a situation that was not within the applicant's control.
Commissioner Luke asked if the Board could deliberate before making a
decision on this issue. The other Commissioners concurred.
Commissioner Luke said that Measure 37 is not a land use issue, and vested
rights came from this. The County had complete control over the timing of this
action. The applicant waived the submission of final argument, which means
the file went to the Hearings Officer on September 3 in its final form. It is not
fair that the decision was not rendered until after the deadline. In this case with
these facts, he feels the case was a final when it was submitted to the Hearings
Officer.
In regard to obtaining land use if the application has not been approved,
Commissioner Unger reviewed the timing. He agrees with Commissioner Luke
that it was the County's fault that the deadline was not met. Chair Baney stated
that it is speculation that the applicant would have received approval within that
time frame. She agreed the decision was not rendered in a timely manner.
Commissioner Luke said that he has a great deal of respect for planning staff
and the Hearings Officer, but they dropped the ball. It is not a reflection of
anyone, but it is an unfortunate event.
In regard to the costs borne by the applicants, Chair Baney said the question is
whether the test hole and engineering costs and the Measure 37 costs should be
included. Commissioner Unger stated that whether those are included, he feels
they reached sufficient expenses. Commissioner Luke said that there is a big
difference between a 13 lot and 5 lot subdivision, but there are some costs that
are there in either case. Some should transfer over.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Wednesday, October 28, 2009
Page 10 of 15 Pages
Commissioner Unger stated that there are not many expenses that are still
required, as most is already there. Even if there was a higher bar test, they
could not spend the money. Chair Baney agreed that the $2,500 is appropriate
in this case, as it would have been needed in any case. The test hole cost is
reasonable to include, and she does feel the Measure 37 costs were necessary to
get to this point.
Chair Baney said this should be based on two things. For lot 3 to be sold, it will
likely have to have private financing. Eventually it may have to be replaced.
Commissioner Luke stated that there were a lot of dwellings built prior to late
1973 without permits. There is a good chance that it did not need one, and
setbacks were not as stringent as they now are. You don't necessarily have to
replace the dwelling as there are reasons for the setback issue and no permits. It
might have been continuously occupied and therefore a nonconforming use.
They may want to build another, but that is a replacement dwelling and not a
new home.
Commissioner Unger said that this creates five lots; the homes that were there
could not be sold separately. Now they can and could be more valuable. Mr.
Griffin said that profit margin cannot be considered in this situation. Chair
Baney said that even if two homes were considered, 7% of the project cost is
sufficient. They did what they could with the process that was in play, and the
threshold has been met. This is a very unique situation and would likely not
come up again.
Commissioner Luke added that vested rights cases are unique and need to be
considered case by case. Chair Baney stated that she does not feel this decision
would set precedence.
Commissioner Unger asked if this is setting precedent. Commissioner Luke
said this sets precedent for this County, and feels that this situation is so unique
that it would be hard to duplicate.
The Commissioners agreed with staff that the record should be closed.
LUKE: Move that this applicant be granted approval of his vested right
application.
UNGER: Second.
