9/24/14 Bend Bulletin Reporting:
Despite law, youth camps still problematic
Project at site of Rajneeshpuram is slow to lift off
SALEM — A nonprofit’s proposed expansion of its youth camps may be in jeopardy as a state lands commission considers new rules governing the project at the site of the former city of Rajneeshpuram.
...Young Life, a nondenominational Christian group that already has two youth camps on the site, watched as the Legislature passed a law last year that was intended to allow the nonprofit to avoid a lengthy land use exception process and build another camp immediately.
But that wasn’t the end of the game.
The bill required a state agency to create rules that will govern all new youth camps on the low-quality, Eastern Oregon farmland. But the proposed rules, if finalized Friday, might either deter future camps and potentially millions of dollars’ worth of development, or lead to more laws specifically for Young Life after, critics say, the land commission undermined the law’s intent.
“I can absolutely guarantee it wasn’t the intent of the Oregon Legislature to pass a bill and create rules that would allow for no camp at all,” said Craig Kilpatrick, a land use consultant for Young Life. “We would not have made an application if the rules today were passed.”
The additional Young Life camps would mean development of as much as 40 acres of a property that is 100 square miles of arid and desolate land about 18 miles southeast of Antelope in Wasco County. The first development would occur as soon as a rule is made that allows Young Life to move forward, and another would come a decade or two later, Kilpatrick said. But he said the project won’t be a go unless the proposed rules are changed.
The commission for the Department of Land Conservation and Development, the agency tasked with creating the rules, will consider the draft proposed by its rulemaking committee this week in Eugene.
The draft rules would limit all new camps to 350 people, and up to 600 if the group sets aside more land, a number Kilpatrick said in Young Life’s case would include about one-third staff and two-thirds campers. The rules would also prevent Young Life from connecting to an existing sewer system and limit activities campers are allowed to do, he said.
That all adds up, Kilpatrick said, to a rule that would prevent Young Life from creating the additional camps.
HOUSE BILL 3098:
UPDATE:
Gov. KITZHABER SIGNED HB 3098 INTO LAW ON AUGUST 1st.
Young life land-use planning exemption NOW EFFECTS ALL OF CENTRAL OREGON!
GROUPS ASKED GOVERNOR TO VETO HB 3098
Young Life Expansion Land-Use Bill. Oregon League of Conservation Voters, along with other groups, are joining others like Ashwood rancher Ann Snyder in asking Governor John Kitzhaber to veto HB 3098 passed in literally the last few hours of the recent legislative session. Christy Splitt of OCLV requests "email the Governor and urge him to veto the bill and tell your friends to do the same. Here is a quick form to use to send a message http://www.oregon.gov/gov/Pages/ShareYourOpinion.aspx.
While the bill originally just dealt with Young Life property on the Muddy Ranch it was amended and as Ann Snyder states: now "will open up (for resort style development) all land east of the Cascades that have poor soil classes. I believe the classes are V, VI, VII, and VIII. That means pretty much all our range land hills that are so highly erodable, and easily damaged will be in jeopardy. All that soil will wash into the John Day and mess the river up for all the folks down stream that rely on it for irrigation and such, not to mention what it will do to the fish and wild life. also, not to mention the fire issues."

2/28/13 FroM KTVZ Bend News
Young LIFE seeks to expand WASHINGTON FAMILY COMPOUND
SALEM, Ore. (AP) — A Christian-oriented camp on land formerly occupied by followers of Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh wants to expand but needs state lawmakers' approval. The Bend Bulletin reports that supporters are pushing House Bill 3098 which would allow Young Life to expand. The nonprofit group owns and operates Washington Family Ranch. The camp was donated to the group in the 1990s after Rajneeshpuram was abandoned and fell into foreclosure.The 62,000-acre camp is looking to expand by an additional 1,500 overnight beds. The property straddles Wasco and Jefferson counties north of Madras. An official with the state Department of Lands, Jon Jinings, said the land is zoned for farm and ranch activity but it's an "unusual situation" because of its past use.

YOUNG LIFE LOBBYIST PITCHES EXEMPTION TO WASCO COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
On February 20th former Deschutes County Commissioner Linda Swearingen acting as a lobbyist for Young Life pitched the proposed House Bill 3098 to grant a proposed exemption from complying with local county land use processes for 4,000 acres of agriculture and timber lands at the Muddy Ranch and allowing development of facilities to house an additional 1,500 occupants near the former Rajneeshpuram compound.

VIEWS
CONCERNS ABOUT YOUNG LIFE EXPANSION EXPRESSED TO WASCO COUNTY
On February 27 Antelope City Council President Robin Moats expressed concerns about the Young :Life proposed expansion to Wasco County Commissioners in emails.
Moats said:
"I just learned about the proposed expansion by Young Life yesterday when I read it in the news. I find it hard to believe that the City of Antelope has not been contacted about this matter by anyone (as far as I am aware.) The residents here are already negatively impacted by the number of buses and support vehicles that come through town on an ever increasing basis. It also used to be just during the summer and it is now year-round. Living on Main Street I can attest to the fact that a converstion in my yard has to cease while the buses stream through.
The addition of 1500 beds translates to roughly an increase of 33% in the vehicular traffic coming through Antelope going to Young Life...
Traffic speed is also a perennial issue here. Our straight stretch runs... approximately 1 mile.. The speed limit for the 6 block length of town is 35 mph and it is not often observed. While the street is broad with wide setbacks there are no sidewalks. There have been various attempts to have the speed limit reduced to no avail. Given our remote location it is not feasible to have a deputy or state trooper posted for traffic control. Deer and pet deaths are already an issue and at times there are children playing and pedestrians."

Subject: Young Life
Dear John,
Would you please consider pulling your support for the house bill asking for permission for Young Life to expand by 1,500 more beds. With the 600 they have now, the traffic is sometimes terrible between there and Antelope, and the roads are being badly torn up, a county expense.
There is only one narrow, winding, two lane road in and out of that camp. Even with 600 kids and staff in there during the height of fire season, evacuating them would be almost impossible let alone an added
1,500 plus.
Young Life has not necessarily been a friend to the locals here. They do not buy local or hire local very often if at all. They do not put their staff's children in our local schools, nor are the children from Antelope welcome to go to their school. They rarely, if ever buy local or hire local.
This also flies in the face of state and county land use planning. That ranch is zone farm use, grazing. I know there was already an existing but not necessarily legal community there. this does not mean that the next owner (Young Life, Washington Family Ranch) should have the right to continue to expand.
Another issue may well be water. where are they going to get the water foir all these people to drink, wash and play in? Is it going to take irrigation and house hold water away from neighboring, legal ranches buy lowering the water table and drying up their wells?
Please reconsider this and talk to the locals berore this comes up for a vote.
Sincerely, Ann Snyder

Ann,
The bill I have submitted doesn't give Young Life permission to expand but it would give Wasco and Jefferson Counties the tools they would need to allow Young Life to apply for a permit to expand. If Young Life pursues an expansion option, they would have to apply to the counties and there would be a complete public hearing vetting process.
In conversations with both counties they have expressed some of the concerns you raised about Young Life needing to cover the costs to the county in areas like road maintenance costs, Health Department costs, etc. It is my understanding that both counties will probably proceed with memorandums of understanding with young Life to recoup expenses in the various areas that the county provides assistance/benefits.
It is my understanding that last week Young Life did provide data to the Jefferson County Commission showing the extent of their economic benefit to the county. I must say that their numbers were impressive and I think they probably surprised commissioners.
The first thing I did after being contacted by Young Life representatives was to contact Richard Whitman who used to be the director of Department of Land Conservation and Development. Young Life took Richard's advice and moved forward from there. So far, they have been following all the steps required of them. But the journey is not over.

Commission tours proposed wilderness area
Madras pioneer 22 May 2013
After a two-hour drive and half-hour hike, Jefferson County commissioners and other officials were able to take in the panoramic views from one of two proposed wilderness areas last week.
"It was very impressive," said Commissioner John Hatfield, who found the roads leading out there — Gosner and Muddy Creek roads — "more rustic than I remembered; they're not even gravel roads, just dirt roads."
Hatfield, Commission Chairman Wayne Fording, Commissioner Mike Ahern and County Administrator Jeff Rasmussen were accompanied by Wayne Kinney, of Sen. Ron Wyden's office, and Susanna Julber, of Sen. Jeff Merkley's office, as well as Matt Smith, the owner of Cherry Creek Ranch, located near the intersection of the two roads. ...
At a commission meeting April 24, area residents once again expressed their interest in keeping Muddy Creek Road open, and having access to the proposed wilderness. Under the current proposal, the Bureau of Land Management would trade away the Wagner Mountain access point to Young Life, which wants Muddy Creek Road to be gated.
"I don't think the commission's changed their stance or anything," said Fording. "If we're going to do this wilderness area for public benefit, why not make it accessible to the public? We're still where we were at the last meeting."
Ahern agreed, noting, "I want to see the wilderness go through; I just think there's no way the county can give up on having public access on Muddy Creek Road." ...
Young Life operates two Christian camps for young people, the high school camp "Canyon," which opened in 1999, and the $34 million middle school camp "Creekside," which opened in 2011.
Hatfield said that the new junior high camp has 384 beds, a water park, cafetorium and meeting room. "Wow," he said. "Their goal is to make it the funnest week of the kids' life and to expose them to the gospel."
Young Life would also like to build another camp in Jefferson County, and has introduced legislation to allow the nonprofit to build on low-value exclusive farm use lands, he pointed out.
All three commissioners found the visit to Wagner Mountain, near the entrance to the proposed Cathedral Rock Wilderness, and the Young Life facilities informative.

Muddy Creek: Debate over historic road
....Caught in the middle: the Jefferson County Board of Commissioners. The road closure aspect is entirely up to them. There are logical reasons to close this road -- enhanced safety for the hundreds of young people who may be on that ranch at any time, plus road maintenance during the wet winter season. But there are over-riding issues that should convince the county to keep the road open.
As the name clearly indicates, the right of the public to use a public road, even if it runs through private country, should be maintained. If the road stopped, dead-ended at the private property, that might be a different story, and the argument for closure much stronger. But this particular road runs through the property, and connects with Gosner Road, which goes down to the John Day River and eventually hooks up with a well-maintained Wheeler County road that takes travelers to pavement, U.S. Highway 26 and the Mitchell area. What's more, the Muddy Creek Road runs through sacred ground for history buffs. Local historian Jerry Ramsey noted that it's a remnant of the The Dalles Military Road, the first major wagon road to cut through what would be Jefferson County, tying the pioneer towns of The Dalles and John Day. In the same spirit in which the wilderness areas are being created -- to allow the public into that rugged, wonderful country -- access on that historically rich road, through that countryside, should be maintained.

Excerpts from Testimony
1000 Friends of Oregon: OPPOSED
This is no small proposal. The bill says that "Young Life may develop. . . facilities, including but not limited to" four 100-acre developments with1,500 visitor beds, cooking and eating facilities, urban level utilities, urban level recreation facilities, fire stations, administrative buildings and medical facilities, and transportation infrastructure. What is proposed is the supersiting of large-scale, urban-level services and amenities on ranch lands. This level of urbanization is simply not appropriate for rural lands. In addition, the use of the language "including but not limited to" begs the question, "what are the limits?" The bill is not clear on that. In fact, it is unclear exactly what the bill authorizes, but it is above and beyond what is included in the plain language of the bill.
League of Women Voters of Oregon - OPPOSED
Washington Family Ranch’s 4,000 acre expansion proposal for the Young Life camp seeks to bypass the established order of our land use processes, which includes the critical components of local government review and citizen involvement. It is a "one-off" exception to both the statewide and local processes. We believe that specific projects such as this, which do not benefit the public as a whole, should be dealt with through the exceptions process at the local level and not through legislative action.
HB 3098 is the latest in a line of bills that exempt one entity from having to comply with the land use laws that apply to everyone else. Passage of these special entitlement bills would be inherently unfair to the hundreds of applicants who do choose to follow the law. They also send a message to future applicants that hiring a lobbyist and writing a special state law to supersite your development plans is a preferable path to complying with the existing planning goals and comprehensive plans.
Central Oregon LandWatch OPPOSED
These bills also send a disturbing message to the public that, with the right access, influence, and lobbyist, a single entity can be exempted from the laws that apply to every one else. These‘one-off’ bills create special entitlements for the well connected, and collectively undermine our entire land use system. For these reasons, COLW is leading a request to make HB 3098 the first Oregon Conservation Network Major Threat of the this session. I ask you to put an end to this practice of writing bills that single out one entity, whether Young Life or the Cyrus Family or others, for public benefits that don’t apply to everyone else.The law that applies to everyone else provides a process for Young Life to seek the expansion approval described in this bill. Young Life is proposing what current Oregon law calls a Destination Resort. The plans described in the bill (“up to and including” 1500 overnight beds, campsites, shooting ranges and recreational facilities, cooking and eating facilities, housing for staff, camp activity buildings, permanent structures, roads, and utilities) all fit well within the resort amenities and overnight unit provisions laid out in Destination Resort law. ... Beyond the disturbing trend of special interest legislation to benefit one entity, the particulars of this bill stink to high heaven.
Department of Land Conservation and Development - NEUTRAL
Without taking a position on HB 3098, the department submits the following comments for the record. HB 3098 seeks to allow expanded, outright uses on 4,000 acres of land in Wasco and Jefferson counties. The property, known as the Young Life-Washington Ranch, currently allows certain youth camp activities, permitted through land use applications by Wasco County in 1999 and 2011. The department is concerned that single-purpose land use legislation does not allow the kind of detailed county review and citizen input that are built into regular land use procedures. In this case, a large and complex proposal is best dealt with by the affected county/ies under an “exceptions process”, which has successfully been used to allow current operations to-date.
JOHN SKIDMORE, IN FAVOR
As former Planning Director and Community Development Director for Jefferson County, HB 3098 is of particular interest to me. Based on my experience on a variety of projects in Jefferson County, it's evident that Oregon's land use system just isn't a good fit for the county. In the past four years, the legislature has had to step in to create "work arounds" to the land use system. For instance, the Metolius Area of Critical State Concern was needed to protect the Metolius Basin. Further, a number of years ago I met with representatives from Young Life to discuss the Goal 8 statute and whether it allowed them to develop additional camp uses on site. We concluded that Goal 8 did not provide a clear path to entitlement for those uses. Perhaps these efforts are more symptoms of a system that doesn't work in this area versus the best solutions? I do support the ability of Young Life to develop additional camp uses on their property as it is a legitimate use of marginal resource land. ...
LINDA SWEARINGEN, Lobbyist Young Life, IN FAVOR
Legislation would allow Washington Family Ranch to expand its youth camp in Wasco and Jefferson County.
Oregon Land Use Law doesn't allow expansion of the current youth camp.
The legislation would allow for an additional 1,500 overnight beds and up to four
additional campsites on no more than a 100 acre foot print for each individual
camp.
A total of 4,000 acres of the 62,000 acre ranch would be designated as the
expansion area. The campsites would only occur within the expansion area.
The expansion would utilize existing infrastructure when possible and would
minimize duplication of some facilities and services.
Access to expanded camp facilities would utilize existing access roads where possible.
Legislation would require Young Life to file a site plan with the impacted county.
As with all county site plan submittals, the camp expansion would require a
public process.
