Home My WebLink AboutCDD Draft Work Plan 2014 Public CommentsNick Lelack From: Haner Park HOA Board <hanerparkhoa@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, May 14, 2014 8:19 AM To: Peter Gutowsky; Nick Lelack; Tom Anderson Subject: Newberry Country (South County) Plan The Haner Park Homeowners Association took an active role in the development of the Newberry Country (South County) Plan. Members of the HOA board attended public information sessions, provided input on the draft plan and engaged County planning staff with our membership at the annual summer meeting. Overall, we were very pleased with the collaborative approach taken by the County and we were happy to support the plan. While the overall plan is a promising vision for the south county area, there are a number of items that are of higher importance to our membership. We would like to see these items added to the County's work plan. Policy 1.4 — Sharing information.... Our membership can only engage with the county on issues we know are occurring. We encourage the county to follow through on actively engaging our homeowners board on land use and planning issues that effect Haner Park and the Upper Deschutes River area. We request that you keep us informed at hanerparkhoa@gmail.com. Policy 5.2 - Develop a work plan, in coordination with property owners, to update the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning designations to reflect the land use and development patterns in Section 36, Haner Park and other applicable areas with long-standing issues, while protecting ecologically significant natural areas or resources. This is a significant issue for our residents. The current forest zoning regulations are impractical in a rural residential community. Most properties cannot even legally build a wood shed without obtaining a variance 1 from the County. This is an expensive and unnecessary burden on both the property owners and county staff. Updating the zoning to reflect the actual rural residential conditions that the county has approved is a necessary and urgent need. We request the county to add this to your work plan and provide partial or full reduction in the land use fees associated with the zoning conflicts until the zoning issues have been resolved. Policy 12.4 - Work with the U.S. Forest Service to address maintenance of Forest Service roads that provide access to rural subdivisions, such as USFS # 44. USFS #44 is a primary access route to Wickiup Reservoir and all of the surrounding areas. It is heavily used for recreation and is a primary safety and emergency access route for the Haner Park residents. Currently, the Haner Park residents fund all of the winter access on that road. It needs more regular grading and gravel for the amount of travel it receives, the majority of which are not Haner Park property owners. Policy 16.11 - Participate with all partners in the upper Deschutes Basin on a comprehensive water management plan that restores and manages flows in the upper Deschutes River while meeting the needs of users and property owners. The management of the water flow in the upper Deschutes is unacceptable. Not only is it not wild and scenic, but our property is also being significantly impacted by the extreme high and low flows of the river. Last fall, the widely publicized fish kills near Bend were significant. The upper section just below Wickiup Dam, Haner Park and below also experienced fish kills. We request that the County actively work to stabilize the flows in the river. This can be accomplished by raising the winter flows to the legal, in stream rights of 300 cfs and working to lower the summer flows through conservation and sharing of rights between the irrigation districts. We understand that the County has a number of competing priorities and thank you for working with the Haner Park HOA to accomplish these shared priority items.

Our properties, which consists of two single-family home lots of approximately two acres each, in an area zoned RR -10, in a completed housing subdivision, are impractical/ implausible for siting a brand new resort. They do not meet the county or state destination resort eligibility criteria, such as the 160 -acre minimum lot size. A resort cannot be sited on our housing lots. Deschutes County has freely allowed those who were included on the 1992 original resort map to "opt in" and stay on the map. We expect to enjoy the same control over our property, by opting out of the resort map. Remove our property, which is now and has always been in good standing for payment of all property taxes, from the resort overlay map. If there are fees and forms required, please advise us on what we must submit and when. If this request is denied, please provide a written response with the legal and statutory rationale.

Baldwin 69265 Hawksflight Drive Sisters, OR 97759 541-549-2015 skibumAbendcable.com April 28, 2014 Dear Director Lelack, It is my understanding that it is currently possible that there could be an effort to convert our property and our subdivision and open space to a resort — which would be an erroneous application of existing laws. Therefore we urgently request that our property (69265 Hawksflight Drive) be removed from the destination resort overlay map. For one thing, such a resort cannot be sited on our 19 housing Lots. This area is zoned RR -10, and does not meet either county or state criteria for a destination resort (eg. not be a platted subdivision which we are, nor the 160 acre minimum lot size requirement). I believe both the county and DLCD (in 2008) have confirmed that housing subdivisions cannot become resort locations. It is imperative, and our right, to request exclusion from the destination resort overlay map. Please advise us of any need to formalize this in writing and of any costs which may be involved. Thank you. Sincerely, Frank R.

Current policy: Issues: The existing policy harms the livability of our neighborhood and has a negative impact on our right to live in peace and quiet. Full time residents who have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in their homes and property have a right to enjoy their neighborhood and not be required by county ordinance to live with campers and the intolerable life style they bring to our neighborhood. • Families are living full time with children registered and attended local school. o Is the intent of the ordinance to allow full time living with children attending school. o The current family on Bakersfield at the end of June 2013 will have lived on Bakersfield for two continuous years. • Families do not have on-site potable water • Families do not have on-site disposal of gray and black water sewage o Portable toilets are permitted but who knows if they are being serviced. o Where is the human waste being dumped? o Where is the gray water being dumped? • Families are not connected to MidState Electric Service • Families run gas powered generators from early morning (getting the kids ready for school) until late at night, well past the 10 pm cut off of generators. o Once the neighborhood was quiet and with a generator operating all day the quietness has gone and has been replaced with the constant hum of the generator. • Families bring in horses and Ass's onto a 1/2 acre lot and do not remove the animal solid waste. Urine goes into the ground. Adjacent lots are high ground water lots and in the Spring you cannot walk across the lots without getting your shoes wet. • Families living in small trailers spend most of their time outdoors around a warming fire, yelling back and forth between family members. • Junk accumulates on the property. • There is no wording in the ordinance requiring the owners to remove their junk and cleanup their property at the end of the six months permit. o Can they leave the site as is until they get a new 6 moth permit. • While the area is zones RR -10 allowing camping for six months harms the full time residents who pay thousands of dollars in property tax vs. a vacant lot taxed at $90 a year. o There is no benefit to permanent residents by allowing camping in the neighborhood. "Don't Tread On Me" applies to permanent residents. o Our property values and property values diminish and the County has the potential of loosing tax revenue when a neighborhood is degraded by campers. New Policy: • Should address the above issues and permanent residents concerns. • Major restrictions should be placed on temporary use of property in a residential neighborhood. Attached are photo's of homes in our neighborhood and one of an open field and several with the camping family who has lived on Bakersfield Road for 1.9 years ( can you hear the hum of the generator? We have for almost two years!
