Gebbers has agreed to

The farm also grows

Curoe said Antilla’s lengthy
career in agribusiness and
food processing, combined
with his love of the Pacific

him
uniquely qualified to serve
Threemile Canyon and build

Antilla has a bachelor’s

Threemile Canyon Farms hires new president
S255940-1
Oregon’s Polk County
correctly rejected a proposal
to rezone 228 acres of farm-
land to allow for 10-acre
home sites, according to a
state land use ruling.
The county government
relied on sufficient evidence
to determine that an excep-
tion to the state land use
goal of farmland preserva-
tion wasn’t justified, the
Land Use Board of Appeals
said.
Simmons Family Prop-
erties, one of the land-
owners that petitioned for
the rezone, hasn’t proven
that farming and forestry
are impractical on the 228
acres because the property
is “irrevocably committed”
to other non-resource uses,
according to LUBA.
Simmons argued that
most surrounding properties
have single-family dwell-
ings and 77% are already
smaller than 10 acres, but
failed to refute the county’s
finding that its 4-square-
mile “study area” was too
large, the ruling said.
Because the 4-square-
mile study area was “too
expansive,” the county
instead analyzed land uses
on 14 parcels directly adja-
cent to the 228-acre prop-
erty. Studying these 14 par-
Gebbers Farms will
spend more than $2 mil-
lion on farmworker housing,
medical care and recreation
to settle a fine levied by the
Washington Department of
Labor and Industries, the
state agency announced
Wednesday.
Gebbers has agreed
to spend $1.4 million to
upgrade worker housing;
$513,000 to support local
health care facilities, day
cares and recreation centers;
and $150,000 on a safety
officer to oversee the com-
pany’s safety programs for
the next three years.
The fine, which origi-
nally was $2,051,400, was
reduced to $10,000.
“Because a court could
not order Gebbers to make
these changes, this is a better
result for workers than we
could achieve through liti-
gation,” L&I Director Joel
Sacks said in a statement.
L&I issued the fine after
two inspections last year
cels wasn’t improper and
the county wasn’t required
to consider more distant
land uses as a “relevant fac-
tor,” according to LUBA.
Wayne Simmons, prin-
cipal of Simmons Family
Properties, said he’s cur-
rently leaning against chal-
lenging LUBA’s ruling
before the state’s Court of
Appeals because he fears it
would be a waste of money,
but hasn’t made a final
decision.
If the land was rezoned,
the plan was to build
“multi-million
dollar
houses” on 22 parcels on
“some of the best view
property in the entire Wil-
lamette Valley,” Simmons
said.
Despite the county’s and
LUBA’s decisions, Sim-
mons said the property isn’t
suitable for commercial
agriculture or forestry due
to its rocky, shallow soils
and high elevation.
“We’re stuck with a hill-
top that has no value,” he
said.
Pinot
noir
grapes
wouldn’t be productive on
the property and other vari-
etals haven’t been shown
to be profitable, Simmons
said.
The property’s impracti-
cality for forestry and agri-
culture was supported by
expert testimony that was
ignored by the county, he
said. “They had no facts to
show why they voted the
way they did.”
The 4-square-mile study
area encompassed urban
areas to show the property
was impractical for farming
and forestry, said Jasmine
Zimmer-Stucky, working
lands engagement manager
for the 1,000 Friends of
Oregon farmland preserva-
tion group.
