97702, and is also identified on County Assessor's Maps 18-11, tax lots 100
and 120.
B ZONING: The subject property is zoned Urban Area Reserve (UAR10), within
a Destination Resort (DR) overlay.
C. REQUEST: The applicant requests Tentative Plat (TP) approval as part of the
Cascade. Highlands Destination Resort (CU -04-94, M-05-2/AD 05-10). The TP
proposes lots for single family dwellings, multi -family dwellings, over -night

Include 379 single-family dwelling lots, 7 multi -family dwelling tracts, 3 visitor -
oriented accommodation/commercial tracts, 25 common area tracts, 4 golf
tracts, and 1 park tract,
D. SITE DESCRIPTION: 'The 698 -acre parcel is located on the north side of
Century Drive, and is currently undeveloped.' The topography generally slopes
toward Century Drive. A ridgeline rises approximately 80 feet from Century
Drive:
The property includes vegetation that is typical of the Central Oregon region:
ponderosa pine, mountain laurel, manzanita, bunch grass, juniper and sage
brush. A majority of the property was heavily damaged during the Awbrey Hall
fire in 1990, which destroyed homes and vegetation in the hills to the west of
Bend. According to testimony in the record, regeneration has occurred on
portions of the property, including areas that border the Broken Top and First
on the Hill subdivisions to the east. The regenerated areas include ponderosa
pine with heights ranging from knee high to 25 feet in areas located near water
sources. Areas not affected by the fire have mature vegetation. According to
testimony in the record, there are approximately 400 ponderosa pine located on
the property, and approximately three-quarters of those trees are located in the
swale areas located near Broken Top's sixth hole and in an area to the east of
the proposed Skyline Ranch Road/Metolius Drive roundabout, within a
proposed road right-of-way. Neighbors stated that the property ha provided
browse for deer and elk, andhas a variety of animal life, including hawks,
woodpeckers, golden eagles, badgers and mountain lions.
E. SURROUNDING USES: The site is surrounded primarily by residential uses to
the north, east, and south. To the north is The Highlands at Broken Top PUD.
The resort site is bordered on the. east by the City of Bend Urban Growth
• Boundary.•Along this boundary is an undeveloped 14 -acre parcel owned by the
Bend Metro Parks and Recreation District, the First on the Hill Subdivision, and
the Broken Top PUD. The Braebum subdivision and the Best Westem Entrada
Lodge 'are located south of Century Drive. The resort Is bordered on the. west
by undeveloped lands held by the United States Forest Service (USFS).
' In prior decisions, the subject property is described as being comprised of 706 acres. it appears
that the subject property was recently partitioned, and the Hearings Officer assumes that the
subject property Is one of the two parcels created from the 706 -acre parent parcel.

F. PROCEDURAL HISTORY: The Conceptual Master Plan approval decision is
dated January 5, 2005. After the Conceptual Master Plan was approved, a
request for reconsideration (RC -05-01) was applied for by the owner to clarify
.findings and a Condition of Approval pertaining to financial performance
requirements with respect to the required overnight lodging. The Hearings
Officer issued a decision on the reconsideration on February 22, 2005,
modifying findings for DCC 19.106.050(6)(8) and 19.106.060(A)(4), and
modifying Condition of Approval No. 11. That decision was not appealed.
The Final Master Plan was approved on September 29, 2005. Two timely
appeals. of the PMP approval were filed. On December 14, 2005, the Hearings
Officer issued a decision denying one appeal (the Kaufman appeal) and
modifying the director's decision with respect to the second appeal (the power
lines appeal). The Hearings Officer's decision was appealed to the Board of
County Commissioners (BOCC). On December 28, 2005, the BOCC issued an
Order. (No. 2005-116) declining to hear the appeal. Consequently, •the Hearings
Officer's decision became final.
The applicant applied for a Partition of the subject property (MP-06-
01)(modified by MA -06-7) to divide the property into 2 parcels. The Partition
was approved on March 6, 2006 and the Final Plat was approved May 9, 2006.
The TP application at issue in this decision was submitted on May 19, 2006.
G. AGENCY RESPONSES: The Planning Division mailed notice of the proposed
land use to numerous affected agencies. Those comments are summarized in
the August 7, 2006 staff report and are not reiterated here. To the extent those
comments are pertinent to the relevant approval criteria, they are addressed In
the findings included in this decision.
H. The applicant submitted a Land Use Action Sign Affidavit dated June 20, 2006.
The applicant postedthe notice of land use action sign on that same date. The
applicant has satisfied the posted notice requirements of DCC 22.23.030(B).
Prior to the public•hearing, the Planning Division sent notice of the proposed
tentative plan (tentative plan or TP) to a majority of the property owners within
250 feet of the subject site. However, at the hearing, a neighbor testified that
not all property owners within the notice area were sent notice. Staff
investigated and discovered that a few property owners within the notice area
had inadvertently. been left off of the notice list: The Hearings Officer extended
.the time for comments to be induded In the record to accommodate testimony
from those neighbors and others.

III. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
INTRODUCTION
This application is the latest in a series of land use applications submitted to develop a
destination resort on property planned for that use. The conceptual master plan
approval (CMP)(CU 04-94, modified by RC 05-1) set out the types of uses that may be
developed on the property, conditions of approval .to mitigate adverse impacts
Identified during the CMP process, and provided the decisional framework for more
detailed • plans. Following the CMP, the applicant submitted a final master plan
(FMP)(M 05-2, affirmed AD 05-10). The FMP clarified of some aspects of the CMP
'such as potential developed recreational uses, the location of major utility connections,
.and set out the specific types of wildlife mitigation that the applicant and the Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife had agreed to. In this application; the applicant
proposes to divide the property into individual Ipts and development tracts to
accommodate the proposed uses. The proposed .subdivision must be consistent with
the approved CMP and FMP, and must also satisfy relevant subdivision approval
criteria.
CONFORMANCE WITH THE APPROVED CMP and FMP:
FINDING: The tentative subdivision plan depicts areas proposed for single family
residential development, townhouse/multi-family development, a hotel complex and
open space and recreation areas. These areas were generally identified and approved
for those purposes in CMP and FMP decisions. The findings for each condition are as
follows. The relevant conditions and the decisions they pertain' to are identified in .
parentheses.
A. All development in the resort shall require, tentative plat approval through
Title 17 of the County Code, the County Subdivision/Partition Ordinance,
and/or Site Plan Review through Title 19 of the County Code, the Bend
Urban Growth .Boundary Ordinance. (CMP Condition #1; FMP Condition
#2)
FINDING: The applicant acknowledges its obligation to obtain tentative plan approval
for the phased development. This tentative plan application includes all of the single-
family lots and multi -family residential tracts, the tracts for the over -night
accommodations, as well as the tracts for the commercial and recreational facilities.
Additional site plan applications would be submitted for particular uses subject to site
review, including the over -night accommodations, the commercial facilities and the golf
course buildings. Additional tentative plans may be filed In the future for further
subdivision of multi -family residential and over -night lodging tracts (e.g., condominium
development.)
B. ' The applicant shall provide a signed formal agreement with the City of
Bend for connect/on to the City of Bend sewage treatment plant A copy of
the signed contract with the City of Bend shall be submitted with the Final
Master Plan application. (CMP Condition #2) •
Hearings Officer Decision (TP -06-973)
Page 4 of 35 .
Exhibit C
Page 4 of 3.5
'FINDING: The FMP approval includes a "License and Water and Sewer Service
Agreement between the City of Bend and Cascade Highlands Limited Partnership' •
(Water/Sewer Agreement) which was negotiated and executed by the Applicant's
predecessor in interest. The Water/Sewer Agreement runs with the land and binds
both the Applicant and the City of Bend to its terms. This condition has been satisfied,
and will continue to apply to the property.
C. Road Locations and Design
1. Road Improvement plans shall be approved by the Road Department
prior to construction.
2, Skyline Ranch Road and Metollus Drive shall be designed and
constructed to the standards detailed in the approved Vehicle and
Pedestrian Access Plan (CMP Exhibit V).
3 The round -about proposed for the intersection of Skyline Ranch.
Road and Metollus Drive shall be designed and constructed
according to ODOT standards,
4. Lots within the resort shall not have direct access from Skyline
Ranch Road or Metollus Drive.
5. The internal road system shall be improved to standards consistent
with the approved Vehicle and Pedestrian Access Plan for private
roads. (CMP Condition #3; FMP Condition #3.)
FINDING: The applicant proposes to construct Internal roads to standards that are
generally consistent with the standards and conditions. imposed In prior decisions.
Those prior decisions include some arguably inconsistent standards that, to the extent
possible, are resolved in this decision. To minimize confusion, the findings with
respect to compliance with the CMP/FMP conditions are organized by Road name
and/or road type.
Skyline Ranch Road. Skyline Ranch Road is designated as a collector in the county's
Transportation Systems Plan (TSP). Developed segments of the road are located in
the county and are subject to its jurisdiction. The applicant proposes to establish an
extension of Skyline Ranch Road through the subject property to intersect with Century
Drive at its southern boundary. Within the subject property,.Skyline Ranch Road and
Metollus Drive serve as the collectors from intemai roadways. No individual lots are
permitted to access directly onto Skyline Ranch Road.
As proposed, and as depicted on.the applicant's tentative plan, Skyline Ranch Road is
to be developed in accordance with AASHTO standards, as amplified and clarified in
the applicant's CMP Application Exhibit V ("CMP Exhibit V°). Those approved
standards require a 60 -foot right-of-way, either 32 -foot or 42 foot road surfaces to
accommodate motor vehicle and bicycle lanes, and road design speeds of no greater
than 30 miles per hour. See CMP Exhibit, V, Typical Cross Sections A and B. None of.
the prior applications specifically identified standards for the Century Drive/Skyline
Ranch Road intersection. Accordingly, a condition of approval is Imposed to require
that the Skyline Ranch Road intersection with Century Drive shall, at a minimum,
comply with AASHTO and county collector approach standards. The final road designs
must be approved by the county road department 2
2, To the extent the FMP Includes conditions that7riclude arguably different requirements, this
declslon is based on the road design approved and conditioned in the CMP.
Hearings Officer Decision (TP -06-973)
. Page 5of35
Exhibit C
Pape 5of35
The intersection of Skyline. Ranch Road with Metolius Drive in the center of the
property IS to be constructed as a roundabout in accordance with ODOT standards.
'The .City of Bend Transportation Planner (Bend Transportation) requested that a
condition of approval be imposed to require that roundabout standards be coordinated
between the City and ODOT. As the applicant and County staff note, however, this
road is located within the County, and is not subject to City road standards, other than
those that are agreed to by the applicant. The Hearings Official concludes that ODOT
roundabout design standards are adequate• to assure safe transport through the
development, in part because of the proposed 30 mph design speed: A condition of
approval is imposed to require that the roundabout be constructed in accordance with
ODOT standards and the proposed design speed, consistent with the conditions of
approval Imposed in the CMP and FMP decisloris.
The applicant's TP drawings for roads are consistent with the approved CMP. A
condition of approval is imposed to require that the final road design for Skyline Ranch
Road be approved by the County.road department.
Skyliners Road. Skyliners Road Is a minor arterial located within the City of Bond and
is under the City's jurisdiction. It is not adjacent to the subject property, although the
parties agree that some traffic generated by the development will use Skyliners Road
via its intersection with Skyline Ranch Road, which extends from the property's north
boundary through the Highlands at Broken Top development. Bend Transportation has
stated that f will require road dedications and cross-sections constructed to City
standards, including a 50 -foot to centerline right-of-way dedications, and 52 -foot cross-
sections, with tuming and bicycle lanes for Skyliners Road.
The applicant and County staff respond that neither the CMP nor the FMP require that
the applicant construct off-site improvements to Skyliners Road. The Hearings Officer
,agrees, and also notes that the City entered into a 2000 Development Agreement with
the applicant's predecessor -in -interest and the County, where all off-site mitigation for
City streets within City limits was identified. See CMP Application Exhibit F. That
agreement provides that no other off-site road improvements to City roads would be
required as long as the development proposed by the applicant is equal to or less than
the density and types of uses described in that agreement. The CMP decision relied on
.that agreement to establish the required City road improvenients. The required
improvements do not include improvements to Skyliners Road. Accordingly, the
development proposed in this tentative plan, which falls within the parameters set out
in the development agreement and. the CMP, does not require additional off-site
improvements to City streets within City limits.
Metolius Drive. Metolius Drive is designated as a collector road on both City and
County TSPs. It runs through both City and County lands. The segment of Metolius
Drive that runs through the Broken Top PUD is a private road located within City limits.
The applicant proposes to construct the internal 'segment of Metolius Drive to the
.standards approved in CMP•Exhibit V (including 30 mph design speeds). The County
has agreed to accept that segment of Metolius Drive as a public road once It is
constructed to County road standards and -dedicated to the public.
As reflected in the findings for Skyline Ranch Road, the proposed Skyline Ranch
Road/Metolius Drive roundabout shall•be constructed to ODOT standards with a 30
mph design speed. No residential driveway access is allowed directly onto Metolius •
Drive.
Hearings Officer Decision (TP -06-973)
Page 6 of 35
Exhibit C
rage 6 of 35
•
In the CMP application and in the 2000 development agreement, the applicant agreed
to construct improvements to the Metolius/Washington Drives intersection, which is
'located within City limits. The Hearings Officer concludes that those improvements
must be consistent with City standards and the development agreement. The segment
of Metolius Drive located within the development must be constructed to the standards
approved in the CMP, except where Metolius Drive connects to the Broken Top PUD
• segment of Metolius Drive. There, the road shall be designed to minimize traffic
hazards and provide a smooth transition between the segment of Metolius. Drive
located on the subject property and the segment of Metolius Drive located within the
• Broken Top PUD and City limits. A condition of approval is imposed to assure that the
• County road department approves the final road design.
An attomey representing the Broken Top Community Association requested that a
condltlon of approval be Imposed to require that no public or construction access be
allowed on Metolius Drive until the road has been constructed to standards acceptable
to the City, the applicant and the Broken Top Community Association and that the
. private road segment had been accepted by the City as a public road. County staff
notes that as the proposed dreulation plan relies heavily on Metolius Drive as a
through road,' the private segment of Metolius Drive must be accepted as a public road
by the City before the final subdivision plan is approved. Staff recommended that the
.Hearings Officer impose a condition of approval to that effect.
The applicant responds that it does not intend to allow construction traffic on Metolius
Drive, in part because the private segment Is not constructed to carry heavy and wide
loads. The applicant's- representatives stated that it will agree to a condition of
approval that prohibits construction traffic on Metolius Drive. With respect to other
traffic, the applicant notes that it cannot prevent through travel on a public collector
street, nor can it demand that the City accept jurisdiction over any roads.
Other persons testified that they did not agree with the County and City's designation
of Metolius Drive as a collector street. They noted that the 'road is located within a
residential area and many children live within nearby subdivisions. In addition, they
echo the concerns of the Broken Top PUD homeowners regarding construction traffic
and its Impact on safety and residential property values.
The CMP and FMP approvals were premised on the use of Metolius Drive as a
collector street within and through the development. As noted above, the street is
designated as a collector on the City and County TSP.s and the anticipated impact of
the proposed development. is consistent with that designation. Because the collector
designation was considered and applied during the TSP approval process, those
decisions cannot be revisited here... •
However, whether and how the segment of Metolius Drivelocated within the Broken
Top PUD.can be used as a public road, despite its private road status, is another
question. The applicant agreed to off-site improvements to Metolius Drive in 2000 and
again during the. CMP and FMP process, presumably because it recognized that
development of the project at destination resort densities would result in a significant
increase In the use of that road. Therefore, the Hearings Officer agrees with staff and
• the Broken Top PUD Community Association that some assurances need to be given
that Metolius Drive is a public road that serves the function provided for in the City and
County TSPs. The Hearings •Officer understands the .applicant's predicament—it
cannot force the City to accept a public street—however, because its application is
predicated on the use of Metolius Drive as a public street, adequate access must be
assured before the final subdivision plat is approved. Accordingly, a condition of
Hearings Officer Decision (TP -08-873)

approval. is imposed to require that the applicant demonstrate that the segment of
Metoiius Drive located within the Broken Top PUD is accepted as a public road prior b
final subdivision approval.3
Century: Drive. Century Drive is designated as a minor arterial on the County TSP.
Until recently, Century Drive was under ODOT's jurisdiction; It is now under the City's
jurisdiction even though the *segment of the road that fronts the subject property is
located outside the incorporated City limits. In the CMP and FMP, the County and the
applicant agreed •that certain Century Drive/Skyline Ranch Road intersection
• improvements would need to be constructed to address the impact of the development
on traffic on Century Drive_ Conditions of approval were imposed to require an
eastbound left -tum lane, a west bound. right -turn lane, and to provide adequate
queuing to and from the property. See CMP application Exhibit E (IGttleson
Transportation Analysis) and CMP Exhibit V.
During this proceeding, the County road department provided written testimony that
some of the needed road ImproYements, especially along Century Drive, may not fit
within the standard right-of-way width and requested that a condition' of approval be
imposed to require additional transportation related dedications to assure. that all road
improvements are located within public rights-of-way. The applicant objected to a
blanket requirement that additional land be dedicated to accommodate • additional
transportation improvements, but agreed to work with the County roadmaster to craft a
condition of approval that would be acceptable to both parties. That condition of
approval is found at Condition 22, below. It is modified somewhat from the agreed
upon language to reflect that some of the roads at issue may be under other than
County Jurisdiction.
Other Internal Roads. The applicant proposes that other internal roads, including
Hosmer Lake Drive, Broken Top Drive, and an as -yet unnamed eastern loop road be
private roads developed to low -speed residential traffic in accordance with CMP Exhibit
V and the CMP and FMP approvals.
Based on the findings and conditions of approval set out above, the Hearings Officer
concludes that the proposed* tentative plan is consistent with CMP Condition 3 and
FMP Condition 3, as clarified.
D. The applicant shall submit a formal signed agreement with the City of
Bend for water serv/ce to the resort as part of the FMP application. (CMP.
Condition #4)
•
FINDING: The Water/Sewer Agreement between the.Applicant's predecessor and the
City of Bend was submitted with .the FMP approval. This Agreement details the.
applicant's. and the City's obligations with respect to the provision of water and sewer
service by the City to the'destination resort.
E. The applicant shall designate the location of all utility lines and
• easements that burden the property on the FMP. (CMP Conditlon#5)
3 On September 29, 2006, the County received a letter from Edward P. Fitch, representing the
Broken Top Community Association. The letter includes additional arguments and demands for
conditions of approval. However, because the letter was submitted after the September 11, 2006
. close of the record, the Hearings Officer does not consider it.

Exhibit C
Pavy R of lc
FINDING: All utility lines and easements which burden the property were shown on
the FMP map and• are shown on the submitted. tentative plat. As provided for in the
FMP appeal decision, if the existind overhead power line remains, it must be located
Within the area depicted on revised maps A-1, A-2, A-7 and.A-9 of that decision. If the
powerline is to be replaced with an underground line, it. may be relocated within the
"relocation corridor depicted on maps submitted by the applicant during the November
14, 2005 FMP hearing.
F. All portions of the proposed resort must be managed and operated in an
integrated manner. Failure to comply with. this standard would void resort
approval (CMP Condition #6; FMP Condition #4)
FINDING: As proposed, the Internal road system. and pedestriam and bike trails
ensure appropriate circulation within the resort. As noted in the Sewer and Water
Agreement, water and sewer infrastructure would be provided throughout the resort.
Review of resort amenities', including the golf course, overnight accommodations, and
commercial and recreational facilities, would. be analyzed for conformance with this
condition during future Site Plan review.
G. During all phases of the development, the developer and/or its
successors In Interest shall ensure that individually -owned residential
units shall not exceed two such units for each unit of visitor -oriented
overnight lodging. Individually -owned units .shall be considered visitor -
oriented lodging if • they. are available for overnight rental use by the
general public for at least 45 weeks per calendar year through one or
more central reservation and check-in service(s). (CMP Condition #7; FMP
.Condition #5)
FINDING: Conformance with this standard would be checked during future Site Plan
review of the over -night accommodations. A condition of approval is imposed to
require Site Plan approval of the overnight accommodations prior to final plat approval
to ensure compliance with DCC 19.106.060(A).
H. Commercial, cultural, entertainment or accessory uses provided as part of
the destination resort shall comply with the.requlrements and. limitations of
Section 19.106.070(Q). Sjpeciflc determination of compliance with this
condition shall be made initially at the time'of FMP approval and finally at
the time of site plan approval for each Individual commercial component of
the FMP. (CMP Condition #8; FMP Condition #6)
FINDING: Compliance with this requirement was confirmed in the FMP approval and
specifically made a condition of approval. Compliance with this- requirement would be
checked. during future Site Plan review for each individual. commercial component.
1. Commercial, cultural; entertainment or accessory uses provided as part of
the destination resort shall be contained within the development and shall
not be oriented to public roadways. Cornmerclal, cultural and entertainment
uses allowed within the destination resort shall be Incidental to the resort .
Itself.. As such, these ancillary uses shall be permitted only at a scale
suited to serve visitors to the resort Compliance with this requirement
shall also be Included as a condition of FMP approval. The maximum •
building height for commercial, cultural and entertainment. Uses shall be 40
feet. (CMP Condltion #9; FMP Condition #7)

Exhibit C
Pave 9of35
FINDING: The 'Development Tracts' illustrated on the Tentative Plat (TP) conform to
the proposed townhouse, multi -family, cottage, and commercial development areas
identified on the FMP Master Development Plan, Exhibit A-1.. As noted in the Hearings
Officer decision for CU -04-94, commercial uses would likely be limited to Areas 2, 3, and
4 (Development Tracts Z, AA, and AB), with a maximum height of 40 feet for all
commercial uses. The height restriction wouldallow the natural topography of the site to
screen the commercial uses from Century Drive, and orient these uses away from
Century Drive. Future Site Plan review of any proposed commercial, cultural,
entertainment, and accessory use's would ensure that these uses would be at a scale
suited to serve visitors of the resort.
Additionally, all development 9f the resort site would be required to comply with the
approved Height'Restiiction Areas Map (Exhibit A-6, FMP) where applicable.
J. The applicant and its successors shall guarantee that all open space used
to meet the 50% open space requirement of Section 19.106.030(E) and •

plan map as being. "public trails" shall remain open and available to the
public. (CMP Condition #10; FMP Condition #8)
FINDING: On July 31, 2006, the applicant submitted a table which calculates, the open
space area for all of the common area tracts, golf course tracts, and the park tract. This
table Is incorporated by reference herein and included in the record. Based upon the
table, the 698 -acre resort would have 357.8 acres of open space, or 51.3% open space.
Additionally, the proposed preliminary CC&Rs would ensurethat all open space used to
meet the 50% open space requirement would remain as open space and that the public
trails would remain open to the public, as shown on the Tentative Plat. A condition of
approval Is imposed to require that open space tracts be designated as such on the plat
for each phase of development.
K. The applicant and its successors in interest shall guarantee that all
• development would comply with the financial commitment and minimum
development requirements set out in DCC 19.106.060(A). Guarantees shall
be In the form satisfactory to the county tai ensure that the development
would be completed consistent with this approval, and may include bonds,
certificates Of participation, and deed restrictions to ensure compliance
with open space and developed recreation standards. Failure to comply
.with these requirements would vold the resort approval. (CMP Condition •
#11; FMP Condition #9)
FINDING: The Applicant agrees to submit adequate financial assurances to comply with
•the required financial commitment and minimum development requirements. A condition
of approval is imposed to require site plan approval or adequate financial commitment
for the elements detailed In DCC 19.106.060(A).
L. The applicant shall specify all recreational. facilities within the proposed
resort as. part of the FMP submittal. (CMP Condition #13)

This condition is satisfied.
M. The FMP shall not be approved until such time as the applicant has either
completelymltigated all resort impacts on wildlife or has assured that such
impacts would be mitigated after FMP approval by the imposition of
enforceable conditions.of approval, inclusion of wildlife protection
obligations' in covenants and restrictions that would burden the expansion
area, adoption of wildlife regulations by the resort owners association, and
by the execution of development agreements where appropriate. The
applicant shall prepare and file a comprehensive wildlife mitigation master
plan that explains how each mitigation measure would be or has been
assured, prior to FMP approval. This explanation must be supported by
documentation of consent by all landowners whose property would be
used to meet the mitigation measures. (CMP Condition #14; FMP Condition
#20)
FINDING: The Final Wildlife Evaluation (June 29, 2005) was approved by Oregon
Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) as a part of the FMP approval. Staff
recommends setting the Year 1 mitigation measure reporting date (as required in
Mitigation Measure # 15 of the Evaluation) for December 31, 2006, with annual reporting
continuing thereafter. On July 31, 2006 the applicant submitted a proposed `Timeline
and Implementation Program for Wildlife Impact and Mitigation" that has been forwarded
to ODFW, in accordance with the ODFW approved Wildlife Management Plan -
Mitigation Measure #14 requires that the Cascade Highlands Homeowner's Association
create and monitor a wildlife mitigation fund. Those monies will be paid to ODFW upon
request from ODFW in accordance with the provisions of the timeline and
Implementation schedule. County staff requests an opportunity to review the timeline in
conjunction with ODFW staff to ensure adequacy. Staff also recommends that the
tracking method be approved by the County and ODFW, and added as a Condition of
Final Plat Approval Conditions of approval with respect to the approved Final Wildlife
Evaluation are included in Conditions 12 and 13, below.
N. All temporary structures shall be limited to a_maximum of 18 months on the

"Flrewise Community" status, the applicant may submit development
design standards fotapproval by the county forester prior to FMP
approval. (CMP Condition #18)
FINDING: The Applicant has reached agreement with the Deschutes County Forester.
FMP documentation includes a memorandum from Joseph E. Stutter, Deschutes County
Forester, indicating his review and approval. The agreement creates standards which
would be integrated into the Cascade Highlands Final CC&Rs and Design Guidelines.
In general, the CC&Rs provide for.
1. Enforcement and regulation of these standards would be provided by the
Cascade Highlands Homeowners' Assodatlon (HOA) in accordance with
the final recorded Declaration of Protective Covenants, Conditions and
Restrictions for Cascade Highlands.
2. Participation in Project Wildfire sponsored local and community events
and relevant programs such as Project Wildfire's `FireFree."
3. Commencing with the recorded sale of any residential lot, the HOA would
assess an annual contribution of $4 payable to Project Wildfire, 63377
Jamison Street, Bend, OR 97701. Cascade Highlands would collect the
.payment annually from the lot owner as part of other association dues
and forward the collected amount to Project Wildfire.
4. No later than 12 months after the recorded sale of any residential lot, the
HOA would submit information and applications as required for
consideration as an officially recognized and.designated participant in the
Firewise.Communities USA recognition program.
R. Any timeshare units not Included on the FMP or on Individual plats shall be
subject to approval under the conditional use criteria set forth in Chapter
19.100 of Tlt/e 19 of the County Code. (CMP Condition #19; FMP Condition

process. The Final Wildlife Evaluation (June 29, 2005) includes. the agreed upon
mitigation measures. As noted above, the applicant has submitted a Timeline and
implementation Program for Wildlife impact and Mitigation. Conditions of approval are
imposed to assure continued compliance with the mitigation plan. •
T. Proposed drywelis shall be approved by the Department of Environmental
Quality (DEQ). (CMP Condition #21; FMP.Condition #15)
FINDING: The applicant agrees to a condition of approval (sinillar to conditions imposed
in the CMP and FMP decisions) that requires compliance with DEQ 'standards for .
drywefs. During this application phase, the County road department commented that It
does not permit the use of d •yells to accorrrniodate•run offfrom County rights-of-way.
Rather, the County requires the use of drainage swales'and retention basins. To the
extent drywells are proposed to accommodate drainage from private portions of the
property, the dyells must meet DEQ standards, and must -be maintained by the
Homeowners Association. To the extent that drywelis have been proposed to address
drainage'from the rights-of-way, the.tentative plan must be revised to depict drainage
solutions that•are acceptable to the County road department. A condition of approval is
imposed to assure compliance with this standard:
U. Building heights and setbacks shall conform t� the limits set forth In this
decision and shall be incorporated into the Design Guidelines for the
resort. (CMP Condition #22; FMP Condition #16)
FINDING: The present application is for tentative plan approval to create the separate
lots and tracts within the destination resort. The Applicant is not seeking development
approval for any structures at this time. All structures developed as part of the
destination resort would be required to comply with the Conceptual Setback Plan (see
Exhibit A-4, CMP; revised November 30, 2004); Minimum Dimensional Standards (see
Exhibit T, CMP), and Height Restriction Areas Map (see Exhibit A-6, FMP).
Conformance with these standards would be checked during future site plan review. '
Shane Austin testified that the proposed subdivision design will result in buildings
towering over the Braebum subdivision: He requested that maximum building heights
within proposed areas AD, AF, AG and AH be lowered, or that the anticipated
development within those areas (townhouse, multi -family residential and cottage homes)
• be relocated to the western side of the eastern' loop road.
In its September 18, 2006 post-hearing.sUbmittal, the applicant advised the Hearings
Officer that its representatives had met with residents of the Braebum subdivision, and . •
• had agreed to a condition of approval that Imposes a 20 foot setback from the bluff rim
. • and 8.40 -foot bullding.height lirriit for development located within proposed Tract AD.
The CMP and FMP decisions were•based on evidence provided by the applicant.thatthe.
approved building heights will minimize visual impacts from adjacent development. The
additional condition of approval agreed to by the applicant will address concems
identified by residents of the Braebum Subdivision that development in the area closest
to the subdivision will be designed to minimize adverse visual Impacts.
This condition has been satisfied, and will be further addressed though the imposition of
a condition of approval with respect to development within Tract AD. • •

lots and tracts within the destination resort. At this time; the applicant is not seeking
approval for signs within the resort The applicant will be required to secure individual
sign permits, pursuant to Chapter 15.08 of the. DCC for these signs.
X. A single gatehouse Is permitted at the Century Drive entrance. The
gatehouse must be sited outside of all public rights-of-way and on private
property. Additionally, the gatehouse must hot conflict with any City of
Bend utilities contained In exclusive easements. The gatehouse would
require future site plan review. (CMP Condition #25; FMP Condition #19)

to seek site plan review for any future gatehouse.
TITLE 17 OF THE DESCHUTES COUNTY CODE, SUBDIVISIONS:
A. Chapter 17.16, Approval of Subdivision Tentative Plans
1. Section 17.16.030. Inforrnational requirements.
FINDING: The applicants engineer, W&H Pacific, prepared a TP and a burden of proof
(BoP) statement to address these informational requirements. Richard Kaufman.testttfieki.
that the information is inadequate to satisfy DCC 17.16.030(Bx3), which requires that
the application .Include the location of "natural features, such as rock outcroppings,
marshes, wooded areas and natural hazards.' According to Air. Kaufman this standard,
unlike DCC 19.106.030(8) requires that all natural features, not Just important natural
features, be .depicted on the applicant's plans and, by Implication, must be preserved.
Because DCC 17.16.030(6x3) is more inclusive than DCC 19.106.030(8); Mr. Kaufman
argues that findings adopted in the CMP decision that conclude that DCC 19.106.070(E)
was satisfied, is inadequate to demonstrate that DCC 17.13.030 and 17.16.080 are
satisfied as well.
DCG 17.16.030 sets out the standards for a subdivision plan application. If an applicant
Hearings Officer Decision (TP -06-973)
Page 14 of 35
Exhibit C
Page 14 of 35
submits an application that addresses the informational requirements, the decision
maker has a basis for evaluating the application agalnst:applicable approval standards.
Here, the applicant submitted a subdivision plan that depicts special topographic
features, namely steep slopes and rock outcroppings. The applicant provided an aerial
photo overlay of .the property to show the location of trees of the property. That
information is adequate to show existing conditions on the property as is required by
DCC 17.16.030. In addition, other evidence, including evidence submitted by Mr.
Kaufman during these proceedings, provides enough information to evaluate relevant
approval standards.4
• 2. Section 17.16.080: Tentative plan as a•master plan.
A. As an alternative to the filing .of a master plan for phased
development, the applicant may file a tentative plan for the
entire development The plan must comply with the
provisions. of DCC Title 17 for tentative plans.
B. if the applicant proposed to phase development, [the
applicant] shall provide sufficient information regarding the
overall development plan'and phasing sequence when
submitting the tentative plan. •
C. If the tentative plan is approved with phasing, the final prat for
each phase shall be Fled through 17.24.110.
FINDING: The Cascade Highlands Destination Resort is proposed to be.developed in
multiple. phases as shown on the tentative plan phasing plan submitted. According to
the applicant, the proposed phasing plan has been designed in accordance with the
CMP and FMP approvals to maintain maximum flexibility to respond to market
conditions. The phasing plan reflects the need for flexibility with the alphanumeric phase
designations provided. in general the expected geographic trend of phasing is provided
by the numeric designations, and the additional alphabetical designations reflect the .
potential need to simultaneously develop different areas within the resort boundary.
The applicant anticipates build out and completion of the resort within approximately 10
years. However,. because macroeconomics, world events, and many other market
issues, can have a significant Impact on resort development, the applicant requests the
tentative plan approval be valid for 15 years from the approval decision date, in • •
recognition of these issues and the size of this project. The applicant acknowledges that
the DCC includes .provisionsforextending approvals•beyond the existing phasing time
frame but argues that; in this case, -where the applicant knows that development will not
Mr. Kaufman also appears to argue that if evidence is inadequate to satisfy current approval
standards; It necessarily follows that It is inadequate to satisfy -CMP standards. As the Hearings
Officer understands 11,.Mr. Kaufman asserts that the application of DCC 17.16.030:inforrhatlonal
standards necessarily Impose more rigorous review and approval standards that should have
been applied during the CMP process, arid that CMP approval standards can be reevaluated
during this process If that, initial review was inadequate. To the extent this is a cognizable
argument in this proceeding, the Hearings 'Officer Concludes that DCC 19.106.070(E) does not
require the preservation of all important natural features, It provides that "(a]Iterations to
important natural features, including placement of structures, Is allowed so long as the overall
values of the feature are maintained:' The Information supplied by the applicant identifies natural
features, and retains enough of those features to preserve the wooded landscape values
identified by opponents as an °important" natural feature.

be completed within the phasing deadlines, it is appropriateto approve an extended
development schedule at the tentative plan stage. .
Neighbors disagree. They contend that a developer should be held to a specific
development schedule in order to minimize the amount of construction traffic that will
occur within and around the development.
The Hearings Officer concludes that an extension of the phasing schedule is not
appropriate at this time. The Deschutes County area has been rapidly developing for
more than a decade. The Impacts of those developments need to be realized in within a
concrete and relatively short development time line, so that future developments do not
rely on.artlficial conditions to assure compliance with applicable approval criteria. For
example, the applicant has provided a traffic study that the Hearings Officer relied upon
to approve the CMP. If the findings and conclusions are flawed, those flaws will be
shown by the actual traffic generated by the development. Allowing the applicant to
extend develgpment for an additional five years will merely extend the time that those
flaws will be latent, and in the.meantime other developments will be likely approved that
will exacerbate those flaws. The Hearings Officer concludes that the public interest is
better served by requiring the applicant to abide by phasing timelines, and by requiring
the applicant to demonstrate changes in circumstances that would justify extending
those timelines, if development does not proceed as planned.
3. Section 17.16.100. Required findings for approval.
A tentative plan for a proposed subdivision shall not be approved
unless the Planning Director or Hearings Body finds that the
"subdivision as proposed or modified would meet the requirements
.of this title and Titles 18 through 21 of this code and is In
compliance with the'comprehensive plan. Such findings shall
include, but not be limited to, the following:
. A. The subdivision contributes to the orderly development and
land use patterns in the area, and provides for the
preservation•of natural features and resources such as
streams; lakes, natural vegetation, special terrain features,
agricultural and forest lands and other natural resources.
FINDING: The Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan, set out in DCC Title 23,
• contemplates that some plan policies will directly apply to some applications. See .e.g.,
DCC 23.40.050 (setting out development standards for specific resort communities); and
DCC 23,136.010(L) (criteria established by staff or other decision makers.may be
imposed to assure,compliance with the spirit of the comprehensive plan). With respect to
development plans:within areas°mapped for. destination resorts, the plan prohibits the '
application of the destination resoit overlay to lands that have been designated
"Extremely Sensitive Big Game Habitat' areas zoned for large scale farm orforest uses;
• or areas protected through programs adopted to comply with Goal 5 (endangered plant
and animal species, wetlands, riparian corridors, outstanding scenic and natural
features, etc.) The BOCC concluded that the subject property does not have any of
those features when it applied the destination resort designation to the property.
The provisions of the comprehensive plan pertaining to destination resorts and

development in areas with wildlife resources and steep slopes are implemented by the
previous CMP and FMP approvals, DCC 17.16;100, and by development staridardsthat
require additlbnal review in wildlife combining zones and.landscape management
l rridors.
. The subject property does not have any natural streams or lakes. It Includes neither
designated agricultural land nor Goal 4 forest lends.. Its vegetative cover is similar to
other undeveloped properties in the vicinity. clusters of secondary forest growth,
manzanita, juniper, sage brush and other native shrubs. It includes steeper areas,
primarily the steep slope rising from Century Drive to rock outcroppings located between
60 and •80 feetabove and 200 to 600 feet from the road. There are no inventoried
wildlife corridors or sensitive species located on the subject property.6
During the FMP appeal and during this process, Richard Kaufman and others testified
that this standard requires (1) a survey by an independent entity to identify and evaluate
all natural features, Including a complete survey of all trees on the.property; (2)
preservation of natural features .that•exist on the site and, if necessaryy(3)'a redesign of
the approved CMP/FMP plans to address wildlife and natural features that were not
adequately identified during the initial CMP process. Some neighbors with properties
located within City limits noted that during the development of their properties, the City
•required a thorough vegetation survey, and required that certain species be either
preserved or planted on their properties. These neighbors assert that the same
thoroughness should be required in the development of the subject 698 acres.
As is shown by the testimony, the City's development standards differ from'the County's
and, in some respects, are much•more rigorous. In this case, the subject property is
located outside of .City limits; and is subject to the County's more lenient standards. DCG
17.16.100(A) requires a balancing of the development features so that overall, the
proposed subdivision is safe, includes required development elements, and preserves
natural features that characterize the area: The evidence shows the general location of
trees on the property, and also shows that portions of the property will be logged and
graded to better accommodate the proposed development. The proposed plan provides
for safe transportation condors through the development, provides for open space
features, including a golf course and a trail system in addition to other features required
by the destination development standards,- such as a hotel and other guest -oriented
recreational features. The applicant testified that trees on the property. that. do not
interfere with the proposed development plans Will be preserved, and that rock
outcroppings will generally not be graded or developed. This evidence is adequate to
demonstrate that the subdivision contributes to the orderly development of the area and
•that natural features on the property will be preserved. This criterion is satisfied.
B. The subdivision would not create excessive demand on
public facilities, services and utilities required to serve the
development.
S The HO acknowledges that there was testimony regarding the existence of
sensitive/threatened/endangered species on the.subject property. However, under the DCC and
the Deschutes County Comprehensive Plan, development is limited only In those areas that have
been identified as special wildlife habitat and have been included on an adopted !ocal or state
inventory for protection.

FINDING: The impacts from the proposed residential, comlriercial and recreational uses
were contemplated and analyzed at the time of the CMP and FMP approvals. The
provision of access, water, sewer and utilities was analyzed and addressed through the
CMP and FMP approval process to ensure they would be provided in an orderly fashion
.to accommodate the uses within the resort, with public pedestrian, vehicle and bicycle
access through the resort. At that time, the applicant's predecessor negotiated with the
City of Bend and Deschutes County to mitigate the potential impacts the development
would have to the City sewer, City water and City street systems serving the
*development. Public facilities for the resort would be sited accordingly, allowing the
proposed subdivision to be developed without excessive demand on existing or future
service capacities. The plans submitted in the CMP and FMP approval process depict.
the locations of all sewer (Exhibit A-9, FMP), water (Exhibit A-8, •FMP), storm drainage
(CMP Erosion Control Plan), and power infrastructure (Exhibit A-7, FMP). Additionally,
the project would be served by City of Bend water and sewer service pursuantto the .
Water/Sewer Agreement between the applicarit's predecessor and the City of Bend (see
Exhibit TP -6). The FMP approval demonstrates that all utility system operations (sewer,
water, power, telephone, cable) would be regulated by the City of Bend and the State of
Oregon.
Access to the resort would be provided via an extension of Skyline Ranch Road between
Skyliner Road and Century Drive, an extension of Hosmer Lake Drive, and the extension
of Metolius Drive west from the Broken Top community. These roads would be
developed to the standards detailed in CMP Exhibit V. Per an agreement between the
applicant and the Broken Top Homeowners Association, the connection between Broken
Top Drive will be for emergency purposes only. Skyline Ranch Road and Metolius Drive
would be dedicated to the public. Access to the proposed lots would be provided by the
internal private roads within the resort.
According to Bend Transportation, the proposed street design will add an unnecessary
level of additional traffic onto the public collectors and will result in circuitous travel
through neighborhoods. The City suggests that West Campbell, Mirror Lake Place,
Broken Top Drive, Hosmer Lake, Todd Lake Court, NW Glenora Way, NW Perlette Lane
and NW Lakemont Drive be continued from the east into the proposed development.
The applicant responds that general street connectivity and circulation, and the
appropriate adjacent street connections are addressed in the CMP and FMP approvals.
Those decisions specifically recognize -that Broken Top Drive and Todd Lake Court are.
private roads. owned by other Homeowner Associations and appropriately addressed
connectivity through the public roadway system.
The Hearings Officer concludes that the proposed internal road systems and the
proposed connections to adjacent streets avoid placing excessive demands on those
streets. As the applicant notes, some of the streets are private'streets homeowners in
those adjacent developments are likely to. object to adding additional traffic to those
streets that are not owned or maintained by the City. As for the other streets, the
Hearings Officer concludes that the impact of the proposed development on those
streets and on adjacent .and nearby developments are better mitigated by the proposed
street plan than by requiring additional connections with residential streets. Finally, to the •
extent the matter is relevant, the Hearings Officer disagrees with the City that NW'
Perlette Lane and NW Lakemont Drive stub out at the property boundary. Those two
streets connect to NW Gieriora Lane, which Is laid out to provide .a connection to either
Skyline Boulevard or Skyline Ranch Road to the north of the subject • property, a

preferable connection to collector/arterial streets than an angled interesection between
two local streets, which would be the result of an extension of NW Glenora Lane to the
subject property, especially because the topography is relatively steep between NW
Glenora Lane and the subject property.
This criterion is satisfied.
C. The tentative plan for the proposed subdivision meets the
requirements of jORSJ 92.090.
FINDING: The requirements of ORS 92.090 have bean codified into the County Code in
Title 17. W&H Pacific, the applicant's engineer, submitted a subdivision TP which
includes the informational requirements set out in Title 17, the County Subdivision
Ordinance. Thus, conformance with Title •17 meets the requirements of ORS 92.090,
D. For subdivision or portions thereof proposed within a Surface
Mining impact Area...
FINDING: The subject property is not within a surface mining impact area.
Consequently, this criterion does not apply.
E. The subdivision name has been approved by the County
Surveyor.
FINDING: The proposed name of the subdivision is Cascade Highlands Destination
Resort. A condition of approval is imposed to require that the name be approved by the
County Surveyor.
B. Chapter 17.36, Design Standards.
1. Section 17.36,020. Streets.
A. The location, width and grade of streets shall be considered
in their relation to existing and planned streets, topographical
conditions, public convenience and safety...
FINDING: There are two collector streets running.through the resort: Metolius Drive
and Skyline Ranch Road. As discussed earlier, those roads will be developed to
County/AASHTO standards and will be dedicated to the public. .The construction, •
dedication and use w19 be consistent with their road designation set out in the City and
County TSPs. Other major internal 'roads within the resort include an extension of
Hosmer Lake Drive and Broken Top Drive into the resort. Hosmer Lake Drive Is
proposed to be a •private. road that serves residential properties in the'center and north of
the subject property. It is proposed to be connected to the existing segment of Hosmer
Lake Drive that dead -ends at the boundary fo the northeastern portion of the subject
property. Broken Top Drive is a private street within the Broken Top PUD to serve •
internal residential and resort development. The applicant has entered into an
agreement with the Broken Top Community Association to limit access between the
properties to emergency access only. The road will be gated at the subject property line
to assure its use is limited to emergency access.
Hearings Officer Decision (TP -06-973)

Exhibit C
Page 19 of 35
Other streets in the area that border the subject property include: West Campbell, Mirror
Lake Place, Todd Lake Court and NW Gienora Way. According to Bend Transportation;
the proposed street design will add an unnecessary level of additional traffic onto the
public collectors and will result in circuitous travel through neighborhoods. Bend
Transportation suggests that the road system be reconfigured to accommodate more
secondary road connections with adjacent developments. The applicant responds that
general street connectivity and circulation, and the appropriate adjacent street
connections are addressed in the CMP and. FMP approvals Those decisions specifically
recognize that Broken Top Drive and Todd Lake Court are private roads owned by other
Homeowner Associations and appropriately addressed connectivity through the public
roadway'system.
Skyline Ranch Road/Metollus Drive:
Per'the Broken Top Phase liI-E plat (Plat No. 818), the Metolius Drive right-of-way was
conditionally -dedicated to the public. The dedication would become effective " ".' only
upon a determination by the Deschutes County Commission, or If the right-of-way has
been annexed the Bend City Commission; that a. public right-of-way 'is required for
access .to the property contiguous. to the Broken Top .Planned Development." At this
time, the Bend City Council has not accepted the • Deed of Dedication for the. Metollus
Drive right-of-way and, therefore, that segment of Metollus Drive is a private street.
According to the current Bend Urban Area Transportation System Plan, Metolius Drive Is
designated as . a Proposed Major Collector, intended for intensive public use. The
segment of Metolius Drive that passes through the subject property is proposed to be
constructed to collector standards and, if the Deed of Dedication is accepted by the City
of Bend, continue a major publlo roadway as identified in the City of Bend Transportation
System Plan. Staff believes the Deed of Dedication acceptance by the City for the
Metolius Drive right-of-way is essential to traffic circulation for the resort, which is
contiguous to the Broken Top PUD. A Condition of Approval is imposed to require that
the applicant to provide proof that the City of Bend has accepted the Deed of Dedication
for Metolius Drive prior to Final Plat Approval.
At this time, Metolius Drive has not been constructed to handle truck traffic (pavement
section) and has not been constructed to accommodate turning traffic at Mt..
Washington, as provided for in the 2000 development agreement. Consequently, Bend
Transportation testified .that Metolius Drive would not provide a suitable construction
route. The City requests a condition •of approval to include a restriction to the
Construction Routing Plan that protects the structural integrity of Metolius Drive and
does not allow its use for construction traffic. The applicant is willing to abide by such a
condition.
The.extension of Skyline Ranch Road and Metolius Drive (the public collector roads)
through the resort provide for the continuation of the principal existing streets In the
adjoining lands. The custom'street sections provided In CMP Exhibit V for the public
collector roads accomplish that with combinations of urban elements (curbs), slightly
reduced lane widths, and design speed control. The typical street sections approved. in
CMP Exhibit V, are also shown on the tentative plan:
Century Drive/Metolius Drive:
There was also testimony that headlights from vehicles entering the resort development
from Century Drive would adversely affect neighbors within the Braeburn subdivision,
and that traffic from the resort would result in additional dlfflcufies In enteringand exiting

the Braebum subdivision from Century Drive during the ski season.
The applicant provided evidence In the-forin of tentative design plans, for Metolius Drive
as it climbs from Century Drive'.to the main'resort area showing thatthe road is to be
constructed below. grade, thereby ensuring that lights from vehicles entering the resort
property from Centiury.Drive.wlltbe confined to the roadway and rock.walls surrounding it
rather than trespass onto neighboring property. With respect to the impact of additional
vehicle trips from the resort, the'applicant asserts that with fheconstruction of Metolius
Drive as.a collector through the subdivision, it is likely that fewer vehicles will use the
segment of Century Drive that fronts.the Braebum subdivision, because vehicles
traveling from Skyline Ranch Road and Metolius Drive'west to Mount 'Batchelor will have
a shorter route through the resort; than to travel south in Washington Drive where it
intersects with Century Drive east of Braeburn Subdivision.
Other Private Streets
CMP Exhibit V allows for private roads to be constructed at a minimum paved width of
20 feet As Indicated on the tentative plan, the applicant may increase the paved width
of some private roads to 28 feet, to accommodate on -street parking on one side, in
accordance with the emergency response requirements.
•
The property has significant topographic relief in many areas. Street grade design would
meet the.deslred 30 mph•design speeds. Approximate street grades are indicated on
the tentative plan. Those grades are considered preliminary, subject to final design, and
review and approval by the County Road Department.
Based on the evidence and findings, the Hearings Officer concludes that the applicant
adequately consideried existing and planned streets, topographical conditions, public
convenience and safety in proposing its street layout, and that the proposed street
design accommodate the opportunity and limitations that those features offer. Conditions
of approval are imposed to assure compliance with this standard.
B. Streets In subdivisions shall be dedicated to the public,
unless located In a destination resort, planned community or
planned :or cluster development, where roads can be privately
owned.
FINDING: The proposed Cascade Highlands destination resort includes both public and
private streets as shown on the submitted plans. Skyline Ranch Road and Metolius
Drive will be dedicated to the public.. All other streets -in the resort will be private.
2. • Section 17.36.080. Future extension -of streets. .
When necessary to give access to or permit a satisfactory future
division of adjoining land,' streets shall be extended fo the boundary
• �f the subdivide or partition.
FINDING: Land to the east and north of the proposed Cascade Highlands Resort is
subdivided with the Broken Top and Highlands at Broken Top subdivisions, Extensions
of Skyline Ranch Road, Metollus Drive, and Hosmer Lake Drive through the resort
complete the connectivity.end circulation through the resort.. National Forest land abuts
the west and a portion of the south resort boundaries. Road extensions to National

Exhibit C
Pave. 21 of35
Forest land is not desired by the United States Forest Service and is not necessary
because future division of the Forest Service land is unlikely.
'The applicant and applicant's predecessor have negotiated an Agreement with the
Broken Top Community Association, Inc. regarding the Broken Top Drive (private road)
connection. The Agreement was recorded on April 24, 2006, in Volume 2006, page
27759, Deschutes County official records (see Exhibit TP -7).
The Agreement specifies the following language be included in the Tentative Plan
application; and the applicant hereby requests the County consider inclusion of this
language as a condition of approval:
"So long as Broken Top Drive remains a private road owned and maintained bythe
Broken Top Community Association, the portion of Broken Top Drive within the Resort
shall also be a private road and shall be gated at the common property line between the
Resort Property and the Broken Top Planned Unit Development. Vehicular access
between the Resort.and the Broken Top Planned Unit Development via Broken Top
Drive shall be limited to emergency, fire and/or life safety. purposes.°
Broken Top Drive is proposed to be a private road within the resort and a private road
outside of the resort. • Staff has concluded that Broken Top Drive would,not be necessary
for public access. if the applicant wishes to add the above language to the Final Plat, it
must be made clear that the County would not be responsible for enforcement. The
above Agreement is under the discretion of the developer and later the Homeowners
Association.
With respect to other streets, the applicant has proposed an emergency access from
Todd Lake Court to Metolius Drive through the subject property. Other connections are
either not desirable (NW Glenora Way to Hosmer Lake Drive) or are not necessaryto
assure access or future Land divisions on adjacent property. This criterion is 'satisfied.
3. Section 17.36.140. Bicycle, pedestrian and transit requirements.
A. Pedestrian and Bicycle Circulation within Subdivision.
9. The tentative plan for a proposed subdivision shall
provide for bicycle and pedestrian routes, facilities
and improvements within the subdivision and to.
nearby existing or planned neighborhood activity
centers, such as schools, shoppingareas and parks in
a manner that will: •
a. Minimize such interference from automobile .
traffic that would discourage pedestrian or
cycle travel for short trips;
b. ' Provide a direct route of travel between
destinations within the subdivision and existing
or planned neighborhood activity centers, and
c. Otherwise meet the needs of •cycl/sts and
pedestrians, considering the destination and
length of trip. ..
Hearings Officer Decision (TP -06-973)
Page 22 of 35
Exhibit C
Page 22 of 35
FINDING: Although omitted as an oversight on the TP, the location of all roads and
trails will be consistent with the Master Trails Plan (see Exhibit TP-5)and the Vehicle
and Pedestrian Accsss Plan (see l=xhibit TP -4). The Master Trails Plan shows a 10 foot
wide, hard surface multi -use path along one side of Skyline Ranch Road (between the
north resort boundary and Century Drive), Metolius Drhie (between the eastern property
boundary and Skyline Ranch Road), and the entirety of the eastern loop road. The path
would meander along the roadways, and may also be included with roadways at isolated .
locations, particularly in steeper terrain to avoid excessive cuts and fills.
In addition, the applicant's predecessor and the applicant have worked closely with Bend
Metro. Parks and Recreation District (BMPRD) and the Central Oregon Trails Alliance
(COTA) to design soft surface trails to connect BMPRD park facilities and the Bend
urban:area to the public Forest Service lands•Iocated to the west of the resort. As
shown on.the submitted plans, the main soft surface trail would run along the ridge
located at the southern area of the resort site from the BMPRD parcel located to the east
of the resort to the US .Forest Service lands Iocated.to the west. COTA would construct
the trail with funding from the applicant and its predecessor. The additional soft surface
trails shown on the Master Trails Plan are designed to connect existing.trail facilities to
the hard surface, multi -use trails within the resort, and connect the hard surface trail
along Skyline Ranch Road to the Forest Service lands.
• Bend Transportation recommends that a trail crossing from the resort across Century
Drive be planned to provide a safe connection between the development and the
Deschutes River Trail system to the south. According to the planner, travel speeds on
Century Drive make it difficult for persons trying to cross the unmarked road. The
applicant responds that a trail crossing across Century Drive was not contemplated or
approved in the CMP/FMP decisions and, furthermore, such a connection would not
promote traffic safety, as it provides the illusion:of safety for pedestrian and bicyclists
without the protection of stop signs or lights to slow traffic along Century Drive.
The Hearings Officer concludes that the proposed bicycle/pedestrian plan will
adequately accommodate and promote those transportation alternatives within and to
neighboring activity centers. The subject property is being developed with• recreational
centers; it abuts USFS land and Bend Park and Recreation property; and.connects to
the existing bicycle and pedestrian trail system within the City. The Bend Metro Park and
Recreation District and the Central Oregon Trails Alliance have supported the proposed
trail system. The Hearings Officer agrees with the City that, a connection across Century
Drive to trails to the south will optimize trail connections, but concludes that such a
connection cannot be safely constructed at this time.
2. Subdivision Layout.
a, • Culde-sacs . or dead-end streets shall be
allowed only where, due to topographleal or
environmental constraints, the size and shape
of . the parcel, or a lack of through street
connections In the area, a street connection Is
determined by the Planning Director or
Hearings Body to be Infeasible or Inappropriate.
In such Instances, where applicable and
feasible, there shall be a bkycle and pedestrian
connection connecting the ends of cul-de-sacs
Hearings Officer Decision (TP -06-973)
Page 23 of 35
Exhibit C
Page 23 of 35
to streets or neighborhood activity centers on
the opposite side of the block.
b. Bicycle and . pedestrian connections between
streets shall be provided at inid block where the
addition of a connection would reduce the
walking or cycling distance . to an existing or
planned neighborhood' activity center by 400
feet 'and by at least 50 .percent over other
available routes.
c. Local roads shall align and connect with
themselves across collectors and arterials.
Connections to existing or planned streets and
undeveloped properties shall be provided at no
greater than 400 -foot Intervals.
d. Connections shall not be more than 400 feet
long and shall be as straight as possible.
FINDING: The.proposed tentative plan indicates several cul-de-sacs to minimize the
number of road crossings and.meet the Intrinsic demands. of a golf course development.
Additional cul-de-sacs are proposed and warranted near the western (National Forest)
boundary, where street extensions are not likely.
Similarly the proposed tentative plan includes three short "dead end- or frontage roads
'paralleling the public collectors; Skyline Ranch Road and Metolius Drive. The frontage
roads are identified as roads 'G', 'M', and 'R' on the TP. These roads are necessitated
by the FMP condition prohibiting direct lot access to the public collector roads, and the
golf course layout .Each of these short private roads are in close proximity to other
private or public reads, such that fire hydrants can be located on the other roads, and
standard fire protection turnarounds are not necessary.
The TP incorporates the pedestrian and bicycle trail system approved as part of the
CMP and FMP. .
Generally; the proposed local roads do not continue across either Skyline Ranch Road
or Metolius Road. Staff does not believe criterion 'c' applies. Given the unique nature of
a destination resort and the constraints created by the golf course, staff does not believe.
that criterion 'd' should apply. The Hearings Officer agrees. This criterion is satisfied.
3. Facilities and Improvements.
a. Bikeways may be prbvlded by either a separate
paved path or an. on street bike lane, consistent
with the'requirements of DCC Title 17.
b. Pedestrian access may be provided by
sidewalks or a separate paved path, consistent
with the- requirements of DCC Title 17.
c. Connections shall have a 20 foot right of way,
with at least a 10 foot usable surface.
FINDING: The applicant has proposed a network of pedestrian and bicycle paths to
provide connections within and through the resort. Standards for the multi -use paths
were approved as part of CMP Exhibit V. The approved Master Trails plan depicts the
Hearings Officer Decision (TP -08-973)

locations of all proposed paths. A •conditioh of approval is imposed to require the
depiction of those trails on the final plat. •
4. • Section 17.36,150. Blocks.
A. General. The length, width and shape -of •blocks shall
accommodate the need for adequate building site size, street
Width and direct travel routes for pedestrians and cyclists
through the subdivision and to nearby neighborhood activity
centers, and shall be compatible with the limitations of the
topography. •
B. Size. Within an urban growth boundary, no .block shall be
longer than 1,200 feet between street centerlines. In blocks
over 800 feet in length, there shall be a cross connection
consistentwith the provisions of DCC 17.36.140.
FINDING: The proposed length, width, and shape of blocks on the TP will
accommodate the need •for adequate building site size, street width, and direct travel
routes. The project site is not within an urban growth boundary; accordirigly, criterion 'B'
does not apply.
5. Section 17.36.160. Easements.
A. Utility Easements. Easements shall be provided along
property lines when necessary for the placement of overhead
or underground utilities, and to ' provide the subdivision or
partition with electric power, communication facilities, street
lighting, sewer lines, water lines, gas lines or drainage. Such
easements shall be labeled "Public Utility Easement" on the
tentative and final plat; they shalt be at least 12 feet in width
and Centered On lot lines where possible, except utility pole
guyllne easements along the' rear of lots or parcels adjacent
to unsubdivided land may be reduced to 10 feet in width.
B. Drainage. If a•tract Is traversed by a watercourse such as a
dralnageway, channel or stream, there shall be provided a
stormwater easement or drainage right of way conforming
substantially with the lines of . the watercourse, or In such
further width as will be adequate for the purpose. Streets or
parkways parallel to major watercourses or drainageways
maybe required.
FINDING:. Typically, sewer, water, power, telephone, television cable, and natural gas
utilities •would be' extended within street rights-of-way. • Easements are typically not
required.. • '
All known utility easements are shown on the tentative plan. As the final design and .the
final :plat are completed, an analysis of utilities and the need for easements would •be
continually evaluated. Appropriate easements would be dedicated on the final plat. All
utility and street designs, and therefore the need for easements, would be subject to the
review and. approval by the Deschutes County Road Department. During the FMP
appeal process nelghbors objected to the.relocation of an overhead power line. As. part
of.a settlement agreement with those neighbors, the applicant's predecessor In interest
Hearings Officer Decision (TP -08-973).
Pape 25 of 35
Exhibit C

agreed to keep the overhead power lines in the location depicted on the CMP site plan.
However, if the applicant.places the lines underground; the lines can be relocated t� an
agreed-upon relocation corridor. That relocation corridor Is depicted on the approved
FMP site plan.
The City commented that all utilities should be placed underground. The Hearings
Officer finds no County standards that require the undergrounding of utility lines.
The subject property is not traversed by a named watercourse. Criterion 'B' does not
apply.
This standard is satisfied.
. 6. Section.17.36.170. Lots, size and shape.
The siie, width and orientation of lots or parcels shall be
appropriate for the location of the land dlvislonand for the type Of •
development and use contemplated, and shall be consistent with the
lot or parcel size provisions of Titles 18 through 21 on thls code...
• FINDING: The size, width, and orientation of the lots are appropriate to the uses
contemplated and meet the pertinent requirements of the CMP and FMP approvals and
Chapters 17 and 19 of the County Code.
7. Section 17.36.180. Frontaoe.
A. Each lot or parcel shall abut upon a public road, or when
located In a planned development or cluster development, a
private road, for at least 50 feet, except for lots or parcels
fronting on the bulb of a cul de *sac, then the minlinum
frontage shall be 30 feet, and except for partitions off of U.S.
Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management roads. In the
La Pine Neighborhood Planning Area Residential Center
District, lot widths may be less than 50 feet In width, as
.specified In DCC 18.61, Table ' 2: La Pine Neighborhood
Planning Area. Zoning Standards. Road frontage standards In
destination resorts shall be subject to review *In the
conceptual master plan.
B. All side lot lines shall be at right angles to street lines or
radial to curved streets wherever practical.
FINDING:. The CMP decision requires that all future subdivision plats within the resort
comply with the minimum dimensional and setbacks standards set forth in CMP Exhibit
T. The dimensional standards require 20 -foot minimum street frontage for multi -family
. residential Tots. For.singie-family dwelling lots,.the dimensional standards require a
minimum lot width of 20 -feet at the street. Based upon a'cursory review of the Tentative
Plat, the single-family lots vary from 20 feet to approximately 200 feet. The remaining
development tracts have a minimum lot width at the street of approximately 275 feet.
The Hearings Officer concludes that the proposed lot frontages are consistent with the
CMP. standards.
Hearings Officer Decision (TP -06-973)
Page 26 of 35
Exhibit C
Pave 26 of 35
As shown on the TP, side lot lines are generally at right angles to street lines and radial
to curved streets.
8. • Section 17.36.190,•Througli lots.
Lots or parcels with double frontage should be avoided except
where they are essential to provide separation of residential
development from major: street or adjacent nonresidential activities,
to overcome speck disadvantages of topography and orientation.
A planting screen easement of at least 10 feet In width and across•
which there shall be no right of access may, be required along the
lines of lots or parcels abutting such • a- traffic artery or other
incompatible use.
FINDING: No double frontage lots or parcels are proposed. This criterion is satisfied.
9. Section 17.36.200. Corner lots.
Within an urban growth boundary, .corner lots or parcels shall be a
minimum of five feet more In width than other lots or parcels, and
also shall have sufficient extra width to meet the additional side yard
requirements of the zoning district In which they are located.
FINDING: The proposed development is not within an urban growth boundary. This
criterion does not apply.
10. Section 17,36.210. Solar access performance.
FINDING: Pursuant to Condition of Approval #10 in the FMP decision (M-05-2), all
single-family dwellings, multi -family units, commercial structures and resort facilities are
exempted from solar setback standards.
11. Section 17.36.220. Underground facilities.
Within an urban growth boundary, all permanent utility services ....
FINDING:. The proposed development is not within an urban growth boundary. This
provision.does not apply.
12. 17.36.230.. Grading of building Sites.
•
Grading of building sites shall conform to the following standards,
unless physical conditions demonstrate the propriety of other
standards:
A. Cut slope ratios shall not exceed one foot vertically to
one and one half feet horizontally. •
B. Fill slope ratios shall not exceed one foot vertically to
two feet horizontally..
C. The composition of soil for fill and the characteristics
of lots and parcels made usable by ill shall be suitable
for the purpose Intended.

. D. When filling or grading Is contemplated by the
subdivider, he shall submit plans showing existing
and finished grades for the approval of the Community
Development Director. In reviewing these plans, • the
Community Development Director shall consider the
need for drainage and effect of •filling on adjacent .
property. Grading shall be finished in such a manner
as not to Create steep banks or unsightly areas to.
adjacent property.. .
FINDING: According to the applicant, significant lot grading Isnot anticipated during the
street and utility infrastructure construction phase. The applicant may, however, grade
some lots In select areas, such as low lying areas where necessary for. stormwater flood
protection, or In steeper areas to create reasonable driveway access afd,homQ site
areas for particular lots. Detailed street and utility design is.needed to identify such
potential lot grading. The applicant is agreeable to a condition that notes the
requirements of Section 17.36.230.apply. Staff recommends as a Condition of Approval,
that the applicant comply with DCC 17.36.230 for grading.
The Hearings Officer concludes that there is substantial evidence to support a finding
that these standards can be satisfied. A condition of approval is imposed to assure that
individual development on the proposed lots conform to this standard.
13. Section 17.36. Lighting.
Within an urban growth boundary, the subdivider shall provide
underground wiring to the County standards, and a base for any
proposed ornamental street lights at locations approved by the
affected utility company.
FINDING: The proposed development is not within an urban growth boundary. This •
criterion does not apply.
14. Section 17.36.260. Fire Hazards.
Whenever possible, a minimum of two points of access to the •
subdivision or partition shall be provided to provide assured access
for emergency vehicles and ease resident evacuation.
FINDING: As shown on the tentative plan, 5 points of access will be provided to ensure
access for emergency vehicles and resident evacuation. Access via Broken Top Drive
would be limited to emergency, fire, and/or fife safety purposes.
15. Section 17.36 280. Water and sewer lines.
Where required by the applicable zoning ordinance, water and sewer
lines shall be constructed to County and City standards and

C. Chapter 17.44, Park Development
FINDING: As part of the planning for the destination resort, the applicant's.
predecessors In interest entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
BMPRD to effect a land exchange resulting in a conveyance of a 14 -acre parcel
currently owned by BMPRD adjacent to the eastem bounday of the resort for use as
park and natural .open space. The applicant's predecessors also donated $75,000 to
BMPRD to defray the costs of constructing and installing park improvements. The park
will include a 5 -acre improved park area' and a 9 -acre natural open space area With a
trail system and trail head parking. Additionally, the applicant's predecessor agreed
through the CMP and FMP approval process to reserve a 10 acre area for the creation
of a public park as shown on the tentative plan on the eastem resort boundary, south of
