Issue #1 Page 4
The Hearings Officer found that the Subject Property was, before and at the time of adoption the 1980 Exception Statement was approved, “marginal resource land.” Therefore, the County did approve exceptions to Goals 3 and 4 for the Subject Property.
Finding of Fact E: Page
E. SITE DESCRIPTION: The South Property is approximately 307 acres and is currently vacant and undeveloped. The Subject Property borders Shevlin Park and Tumalo Creek to the west. Land to the north and east lies within the UGB. The southern end of the South Property borders directly upon the “Miller Tree Farm” subdivision. Most of the Subject Property was burned in connection with the Awbrey Hall fire in 1990. According to the application materials, the intensity and high temperatures associated with that wildfire have resulted in a landscape and soils that can no longer support the regeneration of a Ponderosa Pine forest.

page 11:
The 1990 Awbrey-Hall Fire spread onto the North Property resulting in a vegetative landscape dominated by bitterbrush, sage brush and rabbit brush with minimal pine tree regeneration. Existing vegetation includes some ponderosa pine, but mainly juniper trees, native shrubs and grasses.

Goal 4, Forest Lands. No forest lands are involved in the proposed plan amendment and zone change. Therefore Goal 4 does not apply. In addition, the 1980 Exception Statement (Exhibit 11) took exception to Goal 4 which includes the land in the Urban Reserve. In the event it is determined Goal 4 does apply, the applicants have submitted evidence and findings demonstrating why an exception to Goal 4 is warranted in Section VII hereof. Goal 5, Open Spaces, Scenic and Historic Areas and Natural Resources. No Goal 5 resources are located on the subject properties. There are no identified or inventoried Goal 5 open spaces, scenic spaces (such as Landscape Management Area Combining Zone), historic areas, natural resources, or surface mines on the properties. Nevertheless, the applicants recognize the resource values of the properties and do propose significant protections for wildlife and natural resources through the establishment of resource management corridors and CC&Rs for implementation and enforcement.”
