The Sisters Planning Commission approved with conditions, by a 4-0 vote, expansion of the existing park on Highway 20 across from the FivePine campus. The expansion would include an additional 12 spaces for non-transient sit- ing of recreational vehicles, to be used for long-term residential use only. Staff conducted a detailed analy- sis of applicable standards and concluded that the requested site plan satisfies the approval criteria. The entire property is bound by Highway 20 to the southwest, undeveloped treed property owned by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department to the north, and a nature preserve (Hawks Haven Reserve) to the east and is approximately 5.13 acres. See RV PARK on page 24 PHOTO BY SUE STAFFORD A live-work complex is under construction along Barclay Drive in Sisters. Hammers swinging in Sisters By Sue Stafford Correspondent Hammers and saws can be heard daily on construction sites in the various industrial parks north of the downtown commercial district. One project currently under construction is a live/ work building in the Sun Ranch Business Park next to the new ministorage facil- ity on Barclay Drive. When completed, there will be two separate two-story build- ings with a parking lot in between, with an entrance off Sun Ranch Drive. On the ground floor of building one, slated for com- pletion in June, there will be three 2,000-square-foot business spaces with three apartments above. The owner of the build- ings, Art Blumencron of Sisters, will occupy one of the business spaces with inven- tory from his Goby Walnut Products urban salvage saw- mill in Portland. He will have live-edge slabs of maple, wal- nut and other woods, as well as 4-foot by 4-foot boxes of “hobby wood” which he sells by the pound for people look- ing for small wood pieces for crafts and small home projects. The second space will be the location of local fine furniture craftsman Adam Bronstein, who owns Spring Creek Woodworking. Bronstein creates primarily commission pieces, work- ing one-on-one with a client to design and craft the exact piece they are seeking. He builds desks, dining tables, beds, dressers, and blanket chests, as well as installing slab wood counters. He studied and worked in forest conservation, and his love of trees brought him to woodworking. His work is reflective of the classic fur- niture styles of Stickley, Arts and Crafts, and Shaker, while incorporating contemporary details such as live-edge fin- ishes. He uses traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery with select hardwoods. On his Spring Creek web- site, Bronstein writes, “What I like most about making fur- niture is the honesty of the See NEW BUILDING on page 28 SISTERS AREA MEETING CALENDAR BOARDS, GROUPS, CLUBS Central Oregon Council on Aging Senior Lunch Tuesdays, noon, Sisters Community Church. 541-678-5483.
