Gate Permit G-25-01 for Conquest Road in Eastbourne Subdivision
Board approved gate permit application from Jason Beathers/Eastbourne LLC to gate the northerly 0.27 miles of Conquest Road, a local access road serving an 8-lot subdivision west of Bend Airport off Butler Market Road. Road department recommended denial citing concerns about de facto private road creation, emergency access delays, utility access, and precedent for similar requests countywide. Five of seven lots behind the proposed gate were sold after application submission without new owners as signatories.
- Staff directed to recommend conditions to mitigate concerns about public interest, utilities, and emergency response; pedestrian access gate mentioned as potential condition
