Application 217-24-000070-PLNG – Greenbar Excavation, LLC (Owner) and Lisa Andrach – Fitch and Neary, P.C. (Applicant) proposes to amend the Crook County Comprehensive Plan (“Comprehensive Plan”) to add approximately 226,000 cubic yards of basalt aggregate volume located on Tax Lot No. 1616120000500 to Crook County’s inventory of Significant Mineral and Aggregate Sites (“Aggregate Inventory”). There is no situs address; the property is identified as lot 15 of Cimarron Hills. The property is located approximately 7 miles south of Prineville on Juniper Canyon Road adjacent to an active aggregate quarry located at 1616120000400. The property is zoned Recreation Residential Mobile Zone, RR(M)-5.

The hearing is being held pursuant to Crook County Code (“CCC”) 18.172 (Administration Provisions) and 18.168 (Legislative Amendments), and will be reviewed for compliance with CCC 18.16 (Exclusive Farm Use), CCC 18.144 (Aggregate Resource Sites), CCC 18.180 (Transportation Impact Analysis); Oregon Administrative Rule (OAR) 660-016 (Requirements and Application Procedures for Complying with Statewide Goal 5); Crook County Comprehensive Plan, including Ordinance 43, Ordinance 51, and Ordinance 55; and ORS 197, ORS 215 and ORS 517. A notice of public hearing and location maps are being mailed to all affected property owners, and to the appropriate entities and public agencies at least 10 days prior to the Board of County Commissioners hearing.

Written testimony or comments may be submitted to the Crook County Community Development Department by email at plan@crookcountyor.gov and may also be submitted in person or by mail to 300 NE 3rd St, Room 12, Prineville, OR 97754. Written testimony will continue to be accepted until the records close, which may occur as soon as the conclusion of the public hearing.

Failure to raise an issue at the hearing, in person or by letter, or failure to provide sufficient specificity to afford the decision maker an opportunity to respond to the issue precludes an appeal to the Land Use Board of Appeals based on that issue.
