Maupin delays council hearing on appeal of flood‑plain permit tied to local councilor
Summary
City Manager Nick Smith told the council the appeal of a June 18 Planning Commission approval for a flood‑plain development permit submitted by Councilor Rob Miles will not be heard at the Nov. 21 meeting while attorneys pursue a possible settlement; the Maupin Friends of the Deschutes supports the delay.
City Manager Nick Smith told the City Council on Nov. 21 that an appeal filed by Karen Miller challenging the Planning Commission's June 18, 2024 approval of a flood‑plain development permit for work submitted by Rob Miles has been deferred while attorneys explore a resolution.
"We have not slated the appeal to be heard at this meeting," Smith said, adding that the attorney for the Maupin Friends of the Deschutes indicated support among her group for a further delay. Smith said the council will schedule the appeal promptly if the parties cannot reach an agreement.
The item arises from the Planning Commission's decision to approve the permit on June 18, 2024. The council did not take action on the appeal at the Nov. 21 meeting; no formal motion or vote on the appeal was recorded. The delay leaves the challenge pending while counsel continues settlement discussions.
