Wednesday, December 19, 2018 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon Obituaries 7 More housing on the horizon Lloyd Fields May 13, 1929 — November 29, 2018 Lloyd Fields, former resident of Sisters, passed away November 29, 2018. Lloyd was born in Snyder, Oklahoma, May 13, 1929. He moved with his family in 1936 to Malin, Oregon, where he grew up and attended school. He joined the Navy and served as a yeoman and chauffeur. After discharge he attended and was an early graduate of Oregon Technical Institute (now OIT). In 1952 he married Dorothy Saunders of Malin. They lived for 9 years in Klamath Falls, where their three children were born. In 1961, they moved to Seattle, Washington, and Lloyd operated his own business as a pattern-maker and foundry-man. After retiring in 1997, he and his wife moved to Sisters, where they lived 20 years. They moved to Emmett, Idaho in 2017 to be near family because of declining health. Lloyd is survived by his wife of 66 years, their chil- dren: Barbara Adamczyk (John), of Santa Clarita, California; Jim Fields of Flagstaff, Arizona; and Linda Stepon (Randy) of Emmett, Idaho; and four grandchildren — Joshua, Travis, Holly and Quentin Stepon; sisters Sandra Haney of Redmond, and Dena Rogers of Malin; and many nephews and nieces. He was preceded in death by his parents, Roe and Blanche Fields; brothers Andrew and Kenneth; sister Marie; and By Sue Stafford Correspondent granddaughter Sally Stepon. Lloyd felt blessed to have had many happy hours hunt- ing, fishing and camping with Dorothy, friends and family over his 89 years. He and Dorothy enjoyed pulling a 5th wheel for camping in a caravan with her sister June and brother-in-law Paul and her brother John and sister- in-law Zelle to sightsee across the western half of America. Lloyd could often be found tinkering and restor- ing cars, the last of which were a 1926 Ford Model T and a 1952 Ford Pickup. He had some funny stories regarding the custom (loud) exhaust pipes he favored for his vehicles. To the delight of his grandsons, he spent many hours recounting and embellishing about these adventures and his time in the Navy as a young man and as a child in Oklahoma with his cousins, siblings and parents. He used his skills, talent and creativity to provide for his family and enjoy life. Rest in peace husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle, cousin, friend and boss. Lloyd will be missed but remembered fondly as a good soul. y Christmas! r r e M 152 E.

Hood Ave. | www.opendoorwinebar.com Many conversations around town these days sooner or later lead to the sub- ject of growth in Sisters. One common sentiment is that more work-force hous- ing is needed in Sisters so employees who work in Sisters can afford to live in Sisters. Others argue that Sisters will lose its small- town charm as more housing units are squeezed into a lim- ited urban growth boundary. Growth means more people, more housing, more traffic, more students for our schools, a growing economy, more employment opportuni- ties, greater density, and more pressure on the city infrastruc- ture. Growth is always and everywhere a double-edged sword. Since 2006, homebuilder Hayden Homes has been engaged in building single- family homes and townhouses in Sisters, first in the various phases of the Village at Cold Springs. Included in that mas- ter plan were 29 apartment Quality Truck-mounted CARPET CLEANING Quality Cleaning 16 years in Reasonable Prices Sisters! — Credit Cards Accepted — ENVIROTECH 541-771-5048 Licensed • Bonded • Insured • CCB#181062 RESIDENTIAL • COMMERCIAL units on Lot 170 that have never been built. In October of this year the City received a site plan from Hayden for the 33,909-square- foot lot with three three-story apartment buildings proposed. Hayden has indicated on a number of previous occasions that they do not build apart- ments, although they have agreed to them in their master plans. Hayden was told by the City that they would not receive certificates of occu- pancy for the homes in the final phases of Village at Cold Springs until half of the apartments were con- structed. They are currently clearing the land and putting in the infrastructure for those homes. At this point in time, it is not known who will build the apartments or when they will be built. Community Development Director Patrick Davenport indicated to The Nugget that the Village at Cold Springs should be completed by 2020. Currently, Hayden has a new master plan before the City for development of the former McKenzie Meadows property located between the Village at Cold Springs and Sisters High School on McKinney Butte Road. The proposed project would allow for the construction of See HOUSING on page 29 Dr. Thomas R.
