MINUTES OF BUSINESS MEETING
DESCHUTES COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 2008
Commissioners' Hearing Room - Administration Building - 1300 NW Wall St., Bend
Present were Commissioners Dennis R. Luke, Michael M. Daly and Tammy
Melton. Also present were Tom Anderson, Anthony Raguine, Will Groves and
Kristen Maze of Community Development; Laurie Craghead, Legal Counsel; ten
other citizens; and Hillary Borrud of The Bulletin.
Chair Luke 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. 2008-
011, an Intergovernmental Agreement with the City of Redmond regarding
Inspection Services.
Tom Anderson gave a brief overview of the item. The new agreement will
compensate the City for plan reviews that they did for the County last year.
This will bring the revenue and expense factors up to date.
Commissioner Melton asked if the 2011 termination date is too far out. Mr.
Anderson replied that by then the City should have transitioned into having its
own staffing, and the agreement will become a mutual aid agreement whereby
both entities will help each other as needed.

Commissioner Luke asked who does the plan check and who oversees the
inspection. Mr. Anderson said that the inspectors are from the County and the
City has plan examiners. It is possible that staffing for inspectors could transfer
to the City as progress is made on the transition and funding allows.
MELTON: Move signature of Document No. 2008 -011.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: MELTON: Yes.
DALY: Yes.
LUKE: Chair votes yes.
3. Before the Board was Consideration of Signature of Document No. 2008-
042, Authorizing Partial Release of Improvement Agreement Bonds for
Caldera Springs Real Estate.
Will Groves gave a brief staff report on the item. Infrastructure and the central
lodging would be released at this time, since those improvements have been
made.
Laurie Craghead added that the improvement agreements are still in effect; but
riders will release part of the bond. A warranty bond will be in place for a year
to make sure infrastructure and other improvements are functioning well.
DALY: Move approval of Document No. 2008 -042.
MELTON: Second.
VOTE: MELTON: Yes.
DALY: Yes.
LUKE: Chair votes yes.
4. Before the Board was a Public Hearing and Consideration of First Reading
of Ordinance No. 2008 -008, Amending Code regarding Mini - Storage
Facilities in Rural Commercial Areas.
Chair Luke read the opening statement at this time. In regard to conflicts of
interest, bias or prejudgment, none of the Commissioners had any to disclose.
Kristen Maze provided a staff report on the item, which primarily addresses
parking requirements, setbacks and similar issues.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, January 28, 2008
Page 2 of 7 Pages
Commissioner Daly asked how it was determined which areas would be
affected. Ms. Maze said the area had to already be zoned rural commercial.
The Spring River area was zoned rural commercial by exception, and is not to
be changed. The land also has to be conducive to having enough room for the
mini - storage facilities.
Chair Luke opened the public hearing at this time.
John Skidmore, representing Mr. Jordan, the owner of the Deschutes River
Woods Store, asked for an emergency adoption of the Ordinance. He said his
client originally attempted to have the change made in 2006 but the process
took longer than anticipated. Mr. Jordan would like to begin development of
the area as soon as possible.
Laurie Craghead said that this is a legislative matter and the Board could add an
emergency clause to the second reading, which would not happen until
February 11. She added that Mr. Jordan cannot apply for a permit until the
Ordinance is in effect. The application process could then take up to 150 days
to complete; longer if there is opposition and an appeal is filed. Any change
from the 90 day effective date requires an emergency clause. She added that
she believes the 90 days was originally set up to give the public time to file a
referendum.
Ms. Maze stated that there was no opposition voiced at the Hearings Officer's
public hearing.
No other testimony was offered, so the hearing was closed.
Commissioner Daly stated that there is a brief construction window in this area
and an emergency clause is necessary if the applicant is to have an opportunity
to build during the summer or fall. Chair Luke stated that he would like to see
an effective date of March 1. Commissioner Melton said that she does not like
to use the emergency clause but will support Chair Luke's idea of a March 1
effective date.
MELTON: Move first reading by title only.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: MELTON: Yes.
DALY: Yes.
LUKE: Chair votes yes.

MELTON: Move that second reading be scheduled for February 11, to include
an emergency clause with an effective date of March 1.
DALY: Second.
VOTE: MELTON: Yes.
DALY: Yes.
LUKE: Chair votes yes.
5. Before the Board was a Public Hearing on an Appeal (File #A- 07 -21) of the
Hearings Officer's Decision Revoking Land Use Approvals for the
Construction of a Dwelling (Applicant: Peery).
Ms. Craghead said that the Peery's attorney has submitted a letter withdrawing
their application.
Chair Luke opened the hearing at this time, noted that the applicant has
officially withdrawn the appeal, and then closed the hearing.
At 10:50, Chair Luke asked that the meeting be moved to the Allen Room, to
resume at 11:00 a.m.
6. Before the Board was a Work Session regarding Proposed Code
Amendments for Amateur Radio Facilities.
Chair Luke pointed out that the public hearing has already been closed and no
testimony can be taken.
Kristen Maze said the January 2 work session identified some questions
regarding text. She referred to a handout that was developed since that date.
Most of the Planning Commission options were acceptable to the Board. The
items to be discussed related to towers that are over 70 feet tall.
The first issue is the aesthetic criteria, including the placement of the guy wires.
The guy wires would need to be within the setback area as they are considered
part of the structure.
Ms. Maze stated that no matter what the height, a second tower could require
additional site plan review if this language is required by the Board. Ms.
Craghead said that some jurisdictions have allowed towers up to 150 feet.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, January 28, 2008
Page 4 of 7 Pages
Also, the County does not want towers (or any other structure) over 30 feet in
an LM (landscape management) zone. Ms. Maze asked if the Board wants a
maximum height or a cumulative height if there is more than one tower.
Chair Luke said that he has no problem with a maximum total of 150 feet. He
would like more public input in this regard. Ms. Craghead said that this is a
legislative issue, so ex parte contact is allowed; however, the information
discussed would not become a part of the official record.
Chair Luke stated that he would like to see site plan review of any towers over
30 feet, regardless of the cumulative height. Commissioner Melton said that 70
feet or over should have a site plan review. If a tower is under 70 feet but an
addition would bring it to over 70 feet, a site plan review would be needed.
Ms. Maze said that some users will mount antenna on trees instead of building a
tower. In those cases it is unlikely they will apply for a permit.
It was determined that there should be a site plan for any over 70 feet, to a
maximum to 150, or if more than one antenna is desired.
Chair Daly had to leave the meeting at this time.
In regard to retractable antennas, criteria need to be set regarding height. There
was some concern about not including these in a site plan review.
Commissioner Melton feels this falls into the same category. Chair Luke would
like some distinction made between the tower and the antenna; if the tower is
60 feet and the antenna is retractable and adds another ten feet, he doesn't feel
that site plan review would be necessary. Ms. Maze indicated that it would be
impossible to determine if the antenna is fixed or retractable. For clarity,
though, it was ultimately decided that anything that would be 70 feet or taller
should be the criteria.
In regard to screening, types of trees, vegetation and topography was discussed
in relation to adjacent residences. If the facility is over 70 feet, feedback from
the public meeting could help to determine placement. Commissioner Baney
said that this could be subjective, depending on the neighbors' opinions; she
feels that these criteria should be more defined. The proposed neighborhood
notice would go out 1/4 mile from the facility. Ms. Craghead said that this
would mean different notice requirements for different zones. Discussion took
place whether the properties to be noticed should be contiguous or within a
certain radius. Chair Luke would like some public comment in this regard.
Minutes of Board of Commissioners' Business Meeting Monday, January 28, 2008
Page 5 of 7 Pages
Ms. Maze stated that scenic views needed to be considered, although landscape
management zone criteria already addresses this issue. Therefore, existing text
can be deleted.
At this time, the fees and/or deposits for review, hearings and appeals were
discussed. Chair Daly suggested that the Hearings Officer's fee not be
required. An administrative decision would be the usual $650 fee; this will be
tracked to make sure it covers the actual cost.
On page 2 of the proposed text amendment, Chair Luke clarified that the notice
should be mailed to the established radius from the property line. Also,
clarification needs to be made regarding facilities within the LM zone.
In regard to engineering, the Commissioners want to be sure that the engineer is
familiar with weather, soil factors and other conditions found in Central
Oregon. The structure has to be built to Central Oregon standards even if the
engineer is certified in another state.
Another public hearing will be held after the proposed Code is revised and
proper notice is given. The hearing will be scheduled when all three
Commissioners are available and will likely be held in the evening beginning at
5:30 p.m.
7. Before the Board were Additions to the Agenda.
None were offered.
Being no further items to come before the Board, Chair Luke adjourned the
meeting at 12:40 p.m.

Memorandum
TO: Deschutes County Board of County Commission
FROM: Kristen Maze
DATE: January 4, 2008
SUBJECT: Amateur Radio Text Amendment TA -06 -10
Purpose
At the January 2, 2008 work session before the Board of County Commissioner's ( "Board ")
several issues were identified and the Board directed staff to outline these issues for further
discussion at the January 9th work session.
Issues
Attached are two tables that list the issues, how they relate to the proposed text amendments
and the options staff has identified for the Board discussion. Staff has developed two separate
tables, the first address the text issues and the second addresses the process issues that were
identified at the Board work session.
Findings
The Board must make aesthetic or safety findings based on the Deschutes County
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Code which clearly identify the preservation of scenic views
and open space.
The "Board" must also clearly identify the aesthetic or safety objectives of Deschutes County
that represent the minimum practicable regulation.
• Chapter 23.24.020 Rural Development clearly states Goal A. "To preserve and
enhance the open spaces, rural character, scenic values and natural resources
of the County."
• Chapter 23.88 Agricultural Lands states "Agriculture also provides secondary
benefits such as open space and scenic appearance...."
• Chapter 23.92 Forest Lands also refers to "the `beauty' in Deschutes County is
directly related to the large expanse of forestland."
Quality Services Performed with Pride
• Chapter 23.16.080 other states "Increasingly the major environmental damage
has been the Toss of scenic vistas and sensitive environment areas along
highways, rivers and other areas where development has occurred. Often the
resources lost have been irreplaceable locally.
Fortunately, Deschutes County still has many scenic and natural resources
available. Public ownership constitutes over 78 percent of the land in the
County. Proper management of both public and private lands can assure the
area's primary resource —its natural beauty and diversity —is maintained for
future residents.
• Chapter 23.96 Open Spaces, Areas of Special Concern, and Environmental
Quality states in Goal 1: "To conserve open spaces and areas of historic, natural
or scenic resources." The policies section identifies the Landscape Management
Combining zone. Specifically, Policy 6 states "Its primary purpose is to require
site plan review to maintain structures compatible with the site and existing
scenic vistas, rather than establish arbitrary standards for appearance or to
otherwise restrict construction of appropriate structures."
Aesthetic findings for the preservation of scenic values and appearances throughout rural
Deschutes County could be made by the "Board" based on these Comprehensive Plan
statements.
