Wednesday, April 25, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 11 Hola! is opening in Camp Sherman Developer changes subdivision plans The Camp Sherman din- ing landmark formerly known as Kokanee Café has taken on a new flavor with its re- invention as the latest Hola! restaurant location, opening Thursday. Perched alongside the Metolius River, the new incarnation will feature the renowned Hola! blend of Mexican and Peruvian cuisines. This will be the sixth loca- tion for Hola!, joining fellow restaurants in Bend, Redmond and Sunriver, and founder Peter Lowes said the latest incarnation would maintain the relaxed atmosphere long- enjoyed at the Kokanee, while Developer Peter Hall appeared before the Sisters Planning Commission last week with what he said is the last request for an amendment to the original ClearPine sub- division plan. Hall’s application was for the subdivision of an approxi- mately 10.02-acre parcel within the ClearPine subdi- vision to create 34 single- family detached lots and 24 single-family attached town- home lots. The site already had ten- tative subdivision approval for 33 single-family lots and an 88,976-square-foot multi- family parcel. Hall proposed reconfiguring the lots and access so that the single- family detached houses would face Lundgren Mill Drive and be alley-loaded. He also wanted to subdivide the multi-family residential zoned lot to accommodate nine pairs of townhouses and three single-level affordable attached duplexes. Due to the scope and extent of the changes from the existing approval, a new subdivision was required and proposed. The Planning Commission approved the proposal unanimously (with conditions) with little discussion. According to the original approvals, there is a require- ment that 10 percent (eight units) of the ClearPine hous- ing units be affordable. The offering a fresh diversity of menu options and “Margaritas by the Metolius.” He added: “The restaurant has been known for attract- ing diners from far afield as a special destination, and we want to maintain that tradition of providing a unique experi- ence while also serving the local community.” Camp Sherman Hola!, located at 25545 SW Forest Service Road #1419, by the Metolius River Resort, will be open from April 26 to November, and open for lunch and dinner Thursday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Call 541-595-6420 for more information. Enrichment scholarships available Each year The Roundhouse Foundation grants to Sisters GRO (Graduate Resource Organization) funds to sup- port enrichment experience scholarships to enhance stu- dent education. These enrichment experi- ences include activities such as marine biology camp, DNA class, cooking and art classes, robotics, and more. This year funds have been made available to all Sisters schools, elementary through high school. Funds are still available to eligible students. All appli- cations are reviewed by a selection committee from the community, and decisions to fund or not fund are based on the requirements set up for the scholarship program. To obtain a copy of the appli- cation, see a school coun- selor or visit http://shs.ssd6. org/sistersgro/roundhouse enrichment/. Sisters GRO is accepting applications now. All applications are to be completed by May 15. Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis and available funding. Youth Cooking Class By Sue Stafford Correspondent current drawing of the multi- family residential zone shows six affordable units (the three attached units). When questioned by The Nugget about the affordable require- ments, Hall said, “We’ll get the other two in somewhere” and the Planning Commission accepted that. Hall reports that he won’t be building the nine pairs of townhouses. He indicated that Habitat for Humanity is building the three single-level attached 1,000-square-foot, two-bedroom units (six indi- vidual units). The exteriors must be designed to meet ClearPine design standards to make them blend with the townhouses. Habitat plans to build one per year, according to Hall. There are two 275- to 300-year-old trees located in the open space among the townhouses. Hall reported that since 2006, 70 trees that needed to be removed were taken out intact, with attached root balls, and donated to the Upper Deschutes Watershed Council to be transplanted in the Tumalo Falls area. Fagen Tree Service of Bend donated the time and trucks for the transplanting. Due to reorientation of the single-family lots to Lundgren Mill Drive, utility cuts will be necessary and the City is requiring Hall to apply an asphalt overlay the length of Lundgren Mill. Hall asked that future industrial tenants across the street be required to share the cost of the over- lay. Commissioners denied that request, stating they can’t put current requirements on future possible property owners. The square footage of the single-family lots is slightly reduced to accommodate the width of a new road as part of the redesign and an 18-foot buffer between Lundgren Mill and the single-family lots. Phase 3 of ClearPine, with 14 more lots along the north- ern perimeter on Heising Drive, are ready to be built on. They have been able to save seven of eight signifi- cant trees on those lots. From Heising Drive there is a 200- foot path that links the subdi- vision to National Forest land. 2005 JEEP WRANGLER X 4.0L Inline 6...94 k, hardtop, 6-speed manual transmission $ 14,900 BUY OR SELL YOUR CAR with locally owned ...
