Update: This appears to be the Reserve Camp development previously announced.  Here are the notices including a site plan:

The antenna will replace a shorter one on Overturf Butte.  See notices:

This is an application for a Type II STR permit for an ADU. The owners recently applied for another STR permit for the main house at the same address (see post below this one). Written comments must be received or postmarked by Thursday, Jan. 3, 2019.

Here are the notices.  The Morningwood Way represents the second short term rental request for that address, as there is an ADU already on that property with a short term rental permit.  Comments are due 12/28 to the City.

As has been widely reported, there have been problems with a new radio system deployed by Deschutes County 9-1-1. Reception on the west side of Bend, especially near COCC and the area south of Overturf Butte, is sporadic, leading to first responders being out of contact.

To fix the problem, engineers have proposed adding an antenna on Overturf Butte, which is bordered roughly by Skyliners Rd on the north, Mt. Washington Dr on the west, Simpson Ave on the south, and 17th St on the east. Many people are familiar with the location, which is a 40-acre city-owned site zoned for public facilities. The city has two large water reservoirs there and a 45-foot wood pole with telemetry equipment used by the water department. The site also contains a dog park, a neighborhood park (on 17th), and a park trail, but it is not a park.

The proposal is to remove the existing pole and replace it with a 60-foot wood pole with a 15-foot antenna on top. The new pole would be located within the currently-fenced area, but near the southwest corner of that enclosure and at a higher elevation. The pole will have a dark stain, like tree bark, and the antenna will be painted sky-blue. A 12’ x 15’ equipment shed will be stick-built on site and painted in earth tones to blend into the scenery. The telemetry equipment on the current pole will be moved to the new pole.

The location happens to be one of the closest spots to existing homes on Skyliner Summit Loop, but was selected because it is the highest practical location within the 40-acre site, it has ready access to power, and it can be reached via an existing trail, without having to build a new road. Existing trees, many of which are 45’-60’ tall, are expected to obscure the pole from most angles.

The pole will be placed in a hole 7’-8’ deep that will be dug with a drill rig (which was already brought to the site to do test bores). Other equipment and materials will be brought in using mostly pick-up trucks. 

Access to the 40-acre site is expected to be via the water department’s service road off of Lindsay Ct. However, the water department has an easement across private property for its service road, and there may be issues to resolve regarding the use of that easement by the 9-1-1 district. The only alternative access to the site crosses another parcel which is privately owned as common area by the Skyliner Summit HOA and located on Skyliner Summit Loop. The park district has an easement across that parcel for a paved walking and bike trail.

Construction is planned for the spring of 2019. The public meeting on Nov 27th was required by the city prior to submitting plans, so a project number has not yet been assigned. Those interested in receiving updates on the project can sign up on the web site noted above.

​SITE PLAN:

When:  Wednesday, Dec 5, 2018, 7:00 pm
Where:  City Council Chambers, 1st floor of City Hall, 710 NW Wall St.
Purpose:  This is a hearing before the City Council regarding proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan and Development Code. Included is a proposal to allow duplexes on 6,000 sf lots (reduced from 8,000 sf) and triplexes on 9,000 sf lots (reduced from 10,000 sf) in single-family residential (RS) zones.
Project number:  PZ-18-0825 (hearing packet available in ePlans Public Viewer) 
Contact: (for information and to submit written comments) Pauline Hardie, phardie@bendoregon.gov or 541-693-2153
Summary from Staff Report:  Under the proposal, duplexes and triplexes will be exempt from the maximum density standards in RS zones (4-7.3 units/acre), except when lots are created as part of a new subdivision application. Instead of density limits, the amendments propose regulations (Floor Area Ratio = .6, garage placement standards and front door orientation standards) to ensure duplexes and triplexes develop at a scale compatible with single family homes. The amendments also propose to remove duplexes and triplexes from BDC 2.1.900, Architectural Design Standards.
Analysis:  It is hoped that this change will help address the City’s housing shortage and it has been recommended by the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee and approved by the Planning Commission. Potential issues:  exempting duplexes and triplexes from any design standards may result in buildings that are out of character with existing single family homes. Also, the impact of potential conversions of single family homes to duplexes or triplexes is unclear, and the new code appears to provide no guidance or requirements for such conversions.

The County is holding its meeting on the West Side Transect Proposal on Tuesday November 27 at 10 AM in the Barnes and Sawyer Room in the County Services Building on 1300 Wall Street.

This meeting is to vote on the proposed West Side Transect development.   Here is a news article about the meeting and the development.

Here is the summary from our Land Use Chair who attended the meeting. 

According to a helpful neighbor posting on NextDoor, the County is proposing to replace the 30 foot wooden pole that is within the water tower enclosure with a pole that will be 45 feet or more, plus a 20 foot antenna AND a 10 x 20 foot hut that will house the communication gear and a generator on the water tower area of Overturf Butte.

The meeting is NOT on the county website but apparently nearby neighbors got a letter (see below). The meeting is Tuesday 11/27 6:30 to 8:30 at the Bend Parks and Rec offices on 779 Columbia.
