AGENDA REQUEST & STAFF REPORT
For Board Business Meeting of November 10, 2008
DATE: October 14, 2008
FROM: Chris Bedsaul, Associate Planner.
CDD 383-6719
TITLE OF AGENDA ITEM:
Discussion regarding TA -08-7, regarding a request by Paul David Yager, to amend Chapters 17.04,
17.08 and 17.22 of Title 17 of the Deschutes County Code (DCC) in accordance with the 2007 Edition
of ORS 92.176 and ORS 92.177, also including staff recommended text amendments in Chapters 17.08
and 17.16 in Title 17.
PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS DATE? No.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
The application for a text amendment to Title 17 was submitted on June 17, 2008 to bring County Code
into conformance with ORS Chapter 92 with respect to land divisions for improperly created properties.
Staff has also recommended minor text changes to Chapters in Title 17 in order to keep the Code
consistent with State law. The Deschutes County Planning Commission held a public hearing and
accepted testimony for TA -08-7 on October 9, 2008. No parties testified in opposition to this text
amendment. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend the Board approve TA -08-7,
as modified by the Planning Commission.
This text amendment would allow persons who own properties that were improperly created to go back
after -the -fact and have them approved by the County, if they can meet the requirements that existed at
the time the properties were created.
Staff published notice in The Bulletin on November 2, 2008
Because the Board review and decision regarding the requested text amendment is a legislative
proceedure, the 150 -day deadline does not apply.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
None
RECOMMENDATION & ACTION REQUESTED:
Discussion of item; public hearing scheduled for November 24.
ATTENDANCE: Chris Bedsaul.

REQUEST:
The applicant requests a Text Amendment to the Deschutes
County Code, Title 17, to Incorporate the 2007 Edition Text of
ORS 92.176 and ORS 92.177
1. APPLICABLE STANDARDS AND CRITERIA:
1. Title 17 Subdivisions of the Deschutes County Code
Chapter 17.04
Chapter 17.08
Chapter 17.16
Chapter 17.22

3. ORS92
II. FINDINGS OF FACT:
History:
The 74th Oregon Legislative Assembly — 2007 Regular Session adopted HB2723 and amended
ORS 92 effective January 1, 2008. The Legislature's findings determined that cities and
counties review land use applications to divide property either as a partition or a subdivision for
compliance with local regulations governing minimum Tots size, public facilities service and
compliance with other policies or regulations. The Legislature found, typically, that the question
of whether a property is lawfully created is also considered during the jurisdiction's application
review process. Normally, if a property is found to have been unlawfully created, the result is to
withhold all development permits (i.e. building and septic) involving that property until the issue
is resolved. Unlawful property divisions, whether by design or error, can become complicated,
given the cloud on the title that may exist and potentially involve multiple current or absentee
property owners, all with a common interest in the property. Further complicating the issue is
that a city or county may have issued a building permit or some other type of permit for
development on the property, thereby resulting in the previous expenditures of money by the
property owner(s).
PAGE 1 OF 6 — EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2008-030 (11/24/2008)
ORS 92.176 and ORS 92.177 have been added to the text or ORS 92 to authorize cities or
counties to approve a land use application to validate a unit of land that was not lawfully
established but can meet the criteria that were in place at the time division occurred. The
applicant's request for a text amendment to Title 17 is in accordance with the language in the
2007 Edition of ORS 92.176 and ORS 92.177.
A request for a Text Amendment was submitted by Paul David Yager on June 17, 2008 and
accepted as complete on June 25, 2008. Upon adoption of the text amendment, the applicant
would proceed with an application for a partition regarding a lot sold by Paul David Yager to
Trepanier Construction on or about May 31, 2006. The applicant asserts that the subject
property is a "remainder lot" from a prior conveyance that occurred in 1979 and the zoning in
place at that time would have allowed the lot.
The Deschutes County Planning Commission held a public hearing for TA -08-7 on October 9,
2008, accepted testimony regarding the proposed text amendment, amended proposed text in
Chapter 17.22.010(D)(4)(b), closed the public hearing, deliberated and voted unanimously to
recommend the Board of County Commissioners adopt TA -08-7, as amended.
III. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
TEXT AMENDMENT
A. Title 17, Subdivisions
1. Chapter 17.04. GENERAL PROVISIONS
FINDING: The applicant proposed text under this Chapter; however, the Planning Commission
and staff believe that a modified version of the applicant's language would be more appropriate
in Section 17.04.020(A) by adding new item (8).
17.04.040. Amendments.
DCC Title 17 may be amended or repealed as provided by law.
FINDING: This application will amend portions of Title 17 in accordance with all provisions of
county and state land use laws.
2. Chapter 17.08. DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION OF LANGUAGE
FINDING: The Planning Commission and staff concur with the applicant's proposed new text
definition added to the Chapter 17.08, Definitions And Interpretation Of Language.
The Planning Commission and staff have also determined the definition of "Partition Land" is not
current regarding the text in ORS 92. Also the Planning Commission and staff have found that the
current subsection "C" in "Partition Land" in Chapter 17.08 contains a typographical error that
should be corrected by this text amendment.
PAGE 2 OF 6 — EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2008-030 (11/24/2008)
3. Chapter 17.16. APPROVAL OF SUBDIVISION TENTATIVE PLANS AND
MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLANS
17.16.030. Informational Requirements.
FINDING: The applicant did not make any recommended text changes to 17.16.030; however,
The Planning Commission and staff have determined that the inclusion of a title report or
subdivision guarantee provides adequate evidence for a partition regarding ownership of property
within an application. Therefore, an applicant should not need to provide a certified copy of a
recorded instrument. The Planning Commission and staff note that this provision has been
previously deleted from the application requirements for subdivision applications.
4. Chapter 17.22. APPROVAL OF TENTATIVE PLANS FOR PARTITIONS
17.22.010. Filing Procedures and Requirements.
FINDING: Applications received by CDD often do not include a reduced -scale copy of a
partition or subdivision; thus the Staff has to make an additional request for the applicant to
provide a reduced copy. or Staff time may be expended in the creation a smaller copy to mail or
to have available for interested parties during the review process. Staff recommends that
17.22.010(A) be amended to include the addition of a reference to a tentative plan instead of
"documents", which may include other application material and specifying one (1) reduced scale
drawing to permit ease in mailing a copy of the application tentative plan to interested parties.
Staff believes, however, that the proposed applicant text in (F) adds a reference "or the
equivalent provision of this code" that may not be applicable because ORS 215.780 regulates
only Farmland and Forestland Zones and the Deschutes County Code has created a unique
Exclusive Farm zone minimum lot sizes. The Forest zones in Deschutes County duplicate state
statutes.
The Planning Commission and staff believe that the proposed applicant text in (H) should be
changed to (I), therefore, the Planning Commission and staff have added new item (H) that
includes the language in ORS 92.176(6).
B. Title 22 - Deschutes County Development Procedures Ordinance
1. Chapter 22.08 General Provisions
22.08.005 Preapplication conference.
FINDING: The applicant conferred with appropriate staff of the County prior to making the text
amendment application.
2. Chapter 22.12 Legislative Procedures
22.12.010 Hearing Required.
No legislative change shall be adopted without review by the
Planning Commission and a public hearing before the Board
PAGE 3 OF 6 — EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2008-030 (11/24/2008)
of County Commissioners. Public hearings before the
Planning Commission shall be set at the discretion of the
Planning Director unless otherwise required by state law.
FINDING: Public hearings were held on October 9, 2008 by the Planning Commission and
November 24, 2008 by the Planning Commission and staff regarding this text amendment
proposal.
22.12.020 Notice.
FINDING: Copies of the application and materials were mailed to the Department of Land
Conservation and Development on June 25, 2008. The notice of a public hearing for the Text
Amendment was published in The Bend Bulletin newspaper on September 28, 2008 and
November 2, 2008. The Text Amendment application does not include a change in statute or
administrative rule that requires Deschutes County to change the base zoning classification or
adopt an amendment to an Ordinance that limits or prohibits otherwise permissible land uses
previously allowed; therefore, the notification requirements of ORS 197.047 does not apply.
FINDING:
22.12.030 Initiation of legislative changes.
A legislative change may be initiated by application of
individuals upon payment of required fees as well as by the
Board of Commissioners or the Planning Commission.
The applicant has submitted a complete application and submitted the appropriate
review fees.
C.
OREGON REVISED STATUTES CHAPTER 92
The Oregon Legislative Assembly adopted House Bill 2723 and amendments to
Chapter 92 that became effective on January 1, 2008. ORS 92 was amended to
contain the following;
ORS 92.176 Validation of unit of land not lawfully established.
(1)
A county or city may approve an application to validate a unit of
land that was created by a sale that did not comply with the
applicable criteria for creation of a unit of land if the unit of land:
(a) Is not a lawfully established unit of land; and
(b) Could have complied with the applicable criteria for the
creation of a lawfully established unit of land in effect when
the unit of land was sold.
(2) Notwithstanding subsection (1)(b) of this section, a county or city
may approve an application to validate a unit of land under this
section if the county or city approved a permit, as defined in ORS
215.402 or 227.160, respectively, for the construction or placement
of a dwelling or other building on the unit of land after the sale. If
the permit was approved for a dwelling, the county or city must
PAGE 4 OF 6 — EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2008-030 (11/24/2008)
(3)
determine that the dwelling qualifies for replacement under the
criteria set forth in ORS 215.755 (1)(a) to (e).
A county or city may approve an application for a permit, as defined
in ORS 215.402 or 227.160, respectively, or a permit under the
applicable state or local building code for the continued use of a
dwelling or other building on a unit of land that was not lawfully
established if:
(a) The dwelling or other building was lawfully established prior
to January 1, 2007; and
(b) The permit does not change or intensify the use of the
dwelling or other building.
(4) An application to validate a unit of land under this section is an
application for a permit, as defined in ORS 215.402 or 227.160. An
application to a county under this section is not subject to the
minimum lot or parcel sizes established by ORS 215.780.
(5)
A unit of land becomes a lawfully established parcel when the
county or city validates the unit of land under this section if the
owner of the unit of land causes a partition plat to be recorded
within 90 days after the date the county or city validates the unit of
land.
(6) A county or city may not approve an application to validate a unit of
land under this section if the unit of land was unlawfully created on
or after January 1, 2007.
(7)
Development or improvement of a parcel created under subsection
(5) of this section must comply with the applicable laws in effect
when a complete application for the development or improvement is
submitted as described in ORS 215.427 (3)(a) or 227.178 (3)(a). [2007
c.866 §2]
Note: 92.176 was added to and made a part of 92.010 to 92.190 by
legislative action but was not added to any smaller series therein. See
Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
ORS 92.177 Creation of parcel by less than all owners of lawfully
established unit of land.
When a unit of land was sold before January 1, 2007, but was not a lawfully
established unit of land, the governing body of the city or county or its
designee shall consider and may approve an application for the creation of
a parcel pursuant to ORS 92.176, notwithstanding that Tess than all of the
owners of the existing lawfully established unit of land have applied for the
approval. [1993 c.436 §2; 1995•c.595 §14; 2007 c.866 §6]
Note: 92.177 was added to and made a part of 92.010 to 92.190 by
PAGE 5 OF 6 - EXHIBIT "E" TO ORDINANCE 2008-030 (11/24/2008) •
legislative action but was not added to any smaller series therein. See
Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
FINDING: The text amendments submitted by the applicant and/or modified by the Planning
Commission contains sufficient language to adopt the changes in the 2007 Edition of ORS 92,
as approved by the 74th Oregon Legislative Assembly.
Since this is language to implement a state statute, no change to or findings of compliance with
the County's comprehensive plan is necessary. Therefore, the statewide planning rules are not
affected by these amendments.

Deschutes County CDD
Re: Proposed text amendment to incorporate HB 2723, now codified as ORS 92.176,
92.177, into County Code.
Dear Kevin:
I have enclosed a proposed text amendment to the Deschutes County Cede Tale 17. The
text amendment is intended to carry out the provisions of the above cited 2007 session
law and its present codification: I checked with several counties. To date no county has,
to my knowledge, implemented the new law in its ordinances. The consensus from those
planning directors and legal counsel I spoke to, seems to be that it is a partitioning issue,
since the only way to get a "unit of land" approved is through a partition.
It is my assumption that any changes necessary to the text as I have proposed it will be
made by your department, legal counsel or the planning commission before it goes to the
Board of County Commissioners.
If you have any questions regarding the text or why it is worded as it is, please do not
hesitate to give me a call.
The specific purpose behind the proposed text amendment is to provide for approval of a
lot sold by Paul David Yager to Trepanier Construction on or about May 31, 2006. The
lot did not receive a lot of record approval. (22-10-16, TL #414) It is a remainder lot from
a prior conveyance. The conveyance occurred in 1979. The zoning at that time would
have:allowed the -lot. It is my understanding that 4 partitioning ordinance, however, was in
effect and thus'it would not be approved as a=lot ofrecord.

The text amendment may apply to other lots in: the county. However, because this text
amendment does not restrict the use of land, I do not think a Measure 56 notice is
necessary. For that reason, I believe the fee for the proposed text amendment should be
the lesser fee of $2,135.00 rather than $2875.00.
Because the lot is the subject of litigation, and as part of the litigation I have agreed to
shepherd the text amendment, I will be the contact person.
ly yours,

1300 NW WALL STREET, BEND, OREGON, 97701
OCTOBER 9, 2008— 5:30 P.M.
Meeting was called to order at 5:30 p.m. by Chair Cyrus. Members present were Vice Chair
Todd Turner, Susan Quatre, Brenda Pace, Merle Irvine, Richard Klyce and Christen Brown.
Staff present were Tom Anderson, CDD Director; Terri Payne, Senior Planner; Chris Bedsaul,
Associate Planner; and Sher Buckner, Administrative Secretary.
Minutes of August 14 and September 25, 2008 were approved.
II. PUBLIC COMMENTS AND CONCERNS
None.
III. PUBLIC HEARING: File TA -08-7, Text Amendment to Deschutes County Code, Title 17, to
Incorporate the 2007 Edition Text of ORS 92.176 and ORS 92.177 — Chris Bedsaul,
Associate Planner
Chris Bedsaul summarized the proposed Text Amendment and his Staff Report. Commissioner
Quatre asked for clarification on the problems with the title search. Chris said that title reports 1
cover recorded documents and always contain a disclaimer giving the owner responsibility for
meeting local regulations for transfer. Commissioner Quatre also asked for more specifics about
the title transfer driving this Text Amendment. Commissioner Pace also asked whether this
partition occurred in 2006 and when the applicant discovered the problem.
Commissioner Brown wondered how many Tots exist that are not legal lots of record and if a total
is available. Chris Bedsaul said that the County's computer system often identifies them as
legal or not legal lots of record but is not totally accurate. He thinks that perhaps 5% of the
parcels in the County may not have a lot of record determination. Commissioner Brown asked
whether the areas in South County, for example, would apply here. Chris said that a lot of
record can be determined by a real estate contract or a partition of some sort; if the lot meets the
minimum lot size at the time it was created; or it can be a remaining tract where all of the
surrounding areas have been determined to be lots of record. Commissioner Brown said that if
the 5% estimate is correct, that means quite a few lots in the County are not lots of record.
Chris Bedsaul said that because, in Deschutes County, a lot has been determined to be legal if it
Onalitu .Servirnc Perfnrmvd with Pride
was legal at the time it was created, this could determine whether it is a legal property outside of
this proposed Text Amendment.
Public Testimony:
Paul Speck, former County Counsel, testified on behalf of his client, Paul Yager, who could not
be present this evening. He said his client owned property in the La Pine area which had a
convoluted history (some parcels were subdivided and some partitioned). The parcel in
question here was created when his father divided the property in the late 1970's. At the time
the residual parcel under consideration was created, there was no partition ordinance. The
effect of the conveyance back in the 1970's was that there was a leftover parcel which was
deeded and passed to his client and other family members. His client thought he had a legal
parcel. He sold it in May 2006 to Trepanier Construction. Trepanier applied to the County for a
lot of record determination, which was denied. They then turned to Paul Yager and wanted their
money back, eventually filing suit. Mr. Yager sued the title company and that issue was
resolved. House Bill 2723 was passed that might provide a remedy for the situation during this
process. Mr. Speck was told by the County that this had to be part of the Code first and that
might not happen until 2009. Trepanier did not want to wait that long, which is why Mr. Speck
submitted this proposal. His proposal to the County basically asks for adoption of what is
already State law. This has already been adopted by Hood River County and the City of
Eugene (they have approved lots under the law). Mr. Speck submitted a summary of HB 2723.
Mr. Speck said that if the change is approved (basically adopting State law at the County level),
then Trepanier will have to apply for a petition with 90 days to record the plat. Mr. Speck has no
objections to a few changes in the proposal made by County staff.
Commissioner Quatre asked if this meant an unlawful split would be come lawful under this
Code. She wanted to know if it would be legal under the 1979 law. Mr. Speck said there was no
way to determine this.
Commissioner Cyrus asked if there anyone opposed the proposal. No objections were raised.
Commissioner Klyce asked about some sections pertaining to issuing building permits and what
constitutes "change in intensity." Commissioner Turner mentioned the recent discussions
regarding home occupations, which may be relevant to this proposal. The Commissioners
discussed whether to continue the public hearing until further information is obtained.
Mr. Speck said he was uncomfortable changing the language of the law as adopted by the State
legislature. Commissioners Klyce and Quatre thought that this should be clarified so that this
type of lot is treated as any other type of lot would be treated. Commissioner Pace said that
perhaps it would not be changing State statute to define the terms.
Christen Brown asked what the County policy has been regarding mirroring State statutes.
Chair Cyrus thought that this could be passed on to the Board with the request for a definition of
change in intensity. Chris Bedsaul mentioned that County legal counsel has reviewed the
submittal with no revisions.
Jen Coughlin, attorney for Trepanier, thought that the County had an obligation to define State
statutes. Commissioner Turner thought that this should be resolved before being passed on to
the Board, and maybe language could be added saying it does not change or intensify "an
allowed use" (rather than "a use") of the dwelling or structure: Commissioner Irvine asked
whether this was a current use or a use allowed when the lot was created. Commissioner

Turner said he thought it would be a current use. Chris Bedsaul suggested saying "permitted"
rather than "allowed," to be consistent with other Code language.
Motion: Commissioner Pace moved to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner
Quatre.
Motion: Commissioner Pace moved to approve TA -08-7 with the change in Chapter
17.22.010(D)(4)(b) to include the term "the permitted use." Seconded by Commissioner Klyce.
Motion passed unopposed.
IV. UPDATES ON CITY UGB PROCESS FROM LIAISONS. Commissioner Brenda Pace.
Commissioner Pace provided a summary of the current thoughts on the UGB expansion,
showing increased land need. Commissioner Brown asked whether he needed to recuse
himself since he owns properties which will be affected by the UGB. Commissioner Cyrus did
not think that was necessary during this discussion.
Commissioner Pace said that in 14 months of the UGB process, she was only concerned about
the comments in her summary, including the cost of serving properties in the study area with
roads, sewers and water; the availability of properties with the lowest infrastructure cost and
highest livability; and whether the properties are part of exception land or priority lands. These
are indicated on maps she gave to the Commissioners. Commissioner Turner asked for
clarification on costs per acre served as indicated on one map. The transportation costs are
about twice the cost of sewer (as compared to the original thinking that sewers were the most
expensive) and there have been many revisions to these estimates. Commissioner Pace gave
the City Planning Commission a lot of credit for working through many revisions and problems.
The total acreage under consideration is now 5,000+.
Commissioner Brown asked about the ramifications of adoption - whether the City UGB and City
limits are the same. If the UGB is expanded, what is the policy of the City regarding annexing
these properties into the City (the urban area reserve properties)? Commissioner Pace said that
under our system, it would be part of the UGB and the County would re -zone it as a sort of
holding zone to prevent division into small parcels. As need arises, the City would then annex.
This is a 20 -year plan.
Tetherow was in the urban area reserve, but still got approval as a destination resort. The City
wants 500 acres of vacation land as part of their need but they are excluding Tetherow.
Commissioner Brown said he understood that any property owner adjoining the UGB could
petition to be included. Terri Payne said she thought it depended on the parcel. Commissioner
Turner mentioned some elementary schools that have already been added in. Terri said that
once the UGB is finalized, the County has discussed proposing a UAR.
V. OTHER ITEMS OF CONCERN
Terri wanted to make sure there will be a quorum for the joint meetings with the City on
October 27 and possibly the 28th.
3
The Commissioners discussed possible conflicts of interest, especially after living in the area
and being familiar with some of the public who testify. They discussed circumstances when they
should recuse themselves and asked Terri for her opinion and legal counsel's.
Commissioner Pace asked if they would be required to vote at the next public hearing with the
City. Tom Anderson said that the deliberations would be separate from the public hearings and
also separate from the City's deliberations. The Planning Commissioners will be voting on their
recommendation to the Board for the proposed UGB land.
Commissioner Luke asked that the Planning Commissioners provide input as to how their
positions relate to changes in County population (the Sunriver and Milliken areas, for example).
Commissioner Brown said that he thought many times the population wants to look to someone
to provide good judgment and feels that the current Commissioners and Board are doing a great
job. Trying to create a document that more specifically addresses what is already being done is
unnecessary. Vice Chair Turner felt that qualifications and motivation should be considered
more than location. For example, although he does not represent South County, he is very
concerned about them. Commissioner Klyce's business takes him all over the County, and one
of the things he has enjoyed over the years is talking to clients about their needs.
Commissioner Quatre suggested having town hall meetings in areas of the County such as
Brothers, where the population is lower. Commissioner Pace thought that perhaps.. La Pine and
Sunriver are not currently represented since no current Planning Commissioners live there.
Terri said she could report back to the Board that the Commissioners did not feel a need to
change the Code. Commissioner Irvine wanted to make sure that the actions of the
Commissioners did not exclude consideration of one area. Commissioner Pace said that there
was an advantage in the knowledge gained from living in a certain area, and she would be
interested in seeing a map of the areas included in the townships, as well as population numbers.
Commissioner Cyrus mentioned his involvement with the recent interview process which
selected Commissioner Brown, and said that everyone in the County is represented by the
Planning Commission; there have probably been more meetings in South County than any
other. Terri mentioned that it was possible to add more members for a total of nine Planning
Commissioners. Commissioner Brown said he would be opposed to that, and the other
Planning Commissioners agreed. He also mentioned he had already received some phone calls
from. La Pine residents questioning his appointment and had made sure they knew he would
represent them fairly. He has offered to attend local meetings in La Pine.
Tom Anderson spoke about legal lots of record in the eastern part of the County. He said there
are hundreds to thousands of non -legal lots in Brothers and the east County area.
VI. ADJOURN
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted,
Sher Buckner, Administrative Secretary
