Dr. Lcland (Bud) Bcamer of Madras and Bruce Bischof of Bend propose to establish a lodge opera tion in a home on the Deschutes River approximately three miles upstream from the Deschutes River . bridge. Bcamer and Bischof intend to bring no more than six guests at one time to the home, provide meals, lodging, guided fishing trips and provide transportation to and from the airport, if necessary. Fly fishing lessons also may be offered. Accomodations will be by reserva tion only. Residents living in the See Addi tion, which is close to the proposed BeamerBischof operation, have expressed concern that the opera tion is commercial, thus violating the County zoning ordinance. The County Planning Commission agreed with residents March 22 and denied the BeamerBischof application for a conditional use permit. , , . ..

Beamer and Bischof feel the use of the home will primarily be residential and not commercial as caretakers will be living in the home lull time. Beamer and Bischof originally proposed to launch boats from the home site, but later amended that proposal because the State disap proved of the launch. Additional launches on the river would be in violation of the Wild and Scenic Waterway Act. Visitors to the lodge win oe snuttica irom the home to the launch site near the Rainbow Market and drift downstream to Trout Creek. According to County planner. Chuck McGraw, numerous letters have been received from area home owners regarding the proposal. Most letters oppose the develop ment, he said, and site damage to tne spawning beds, increased traf- nc, noise ana aust as primary concerns, the home can be seen from four reservation homes on the river. The planning commission has several standards that apply to a home occupation. One is that the occupation must be secondary to the main use of the property as a residence. Another standard is that . the occupation must be conducted only by the residents of the dwel ling. "The applicants feel the prop erty will primarily be residential," with the business as a secondary use. "The County ordinance does not state that the residents must also be the owners." Yet another standard is that the exterior of the building cannot be altered. The existing deck has been extended. No application was made for the deck extension. McGraw explained that the planning depart ment will require a permit whether the proposal is approved or not. McGraw explained that if a deck is to be more than 30 inches above ground level, a permit is required. Tribal natural resources general manager Charles Calica stated it is the Tribe's feeling that the issue is "sensitive," particularly concerning the spawning beds in the area. "We want to protect them." In addition, "development of this sort of opera tion prior to completion and implementation of the Deschutes River Management Plan is premature." "It's a real interesting problem," said Pat Crcelman, who has lived ition with her family years. 'I just wish way that everybody little and come out situation.

At that meeting, said Zane Jackson. whose reservation home is adja cent to the river and is in view of the BeamerBischof home, the commission got a "real clear direc tion." Most "don't want it. It's not good for the area, the land or the river." The May 9 meeting will begin at 7 p.m. and will be held at the Courthouse Annex on Sixth Street MAY 4, 1990 Tribe purchases property The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs recently purchased off-reservation property totalling 31.07 acres. Total cost of the prop erties purchased was $558,000. The Tribe purchased from Duke Morrison the two homes and caba na north of the Rainbow Market for $450,000. "The property was for sale," said tribal attorney Jim Noteboom. A "fair price" was paid for the property, which is 27.5 acres in size and borders the reservation. The Morrison purchase also includes a narrow strip of land that connects the SchoenHagcn property with the Deschutes River and runs along land retained by Morrison that borders the Beam erBischof property. Two other parcels on the Meto lius Arm of Lake Billy Chinook were also purchased. A 2.53 acre parcel was purchased from Jack Rhoden of Pnncvillc for $69,500. A smaller 1 .04 acre parcel wa! pur chased from Deschutes Develop ment Co. Inc. of Bend for $38,500. These are adjoining lots. "The Tribe was concerned about what was happening in the area," said Note boom. Tribal Council Chairman Zane Jackson added that the purchases were good business. "It's good land and good property. We can always use good land." The Tribe pays County property taxes on all off-reservation land holdings except for two, the Sher ars Bridge property in Wasco County and the loading dock site near Madras. According to Jackson and Note boom, no plans have been discussed concerning the Tribe's most recent purchase. Tax base to go before voters Voters will be asked to approve a new tax base for county opera tions. The current tax base was approved in 1914 and has been too low for many yers. To meet the needs of county operations, tem porary yearly levies have been approved by voters. With a new base, yearly levy elections will not be needed. Voting on the new tax base will be held May 15. The requested new tax base of $2,310,089 is 7.2 percent higher than last year's tax levy (tax base and yearly temporary levy.) At this level of funding, county services will be only maintained at the exist ing level. It is estimated that the 1990-1991 would be $5.07 up 28 cents per $ 1 ,000 of assessed evalua tion. On a $60,000 home, the home owner would pay $16.80 in addi tional property taxes. Outside income to the county is $5,674,409. The outside money comes from federal and state governments and collected fees. A total of $7,984,498 is needed for county operations in 1990-1991. A public meeting will be held at the Warm Springs Community Center Monday, May 7 beginning at 7 p.m. to discuss the upcoming election. All residents are encour aged to attend. 16 72 58 17 64 52 18 75 39 19 73 45 20 70 52 21 73 44 22 62 48 23 62 49 24 60 34 25 65 43 26 56 32 27 51 44 28 56 37 29 54 33 30 63 38 Governor recognizes government-to-government relations, Indian Week set On April 10, 1990, Governor Neil Goldschmidt signed two pro clamations: one recognizing the government-to-government relation ship between the State of Oregon and the Oregon Indian Tribe; and the other declaring Oregon Ameri can Indian Weeks 1990: Govenment-to-Government relationship WHEREAS: It is the intent of the Governor of the State of Oregon to athrm the government-to-government relationship be tween the State of Oregon and the Oregon Indian Tribes; and WHEREAS: The State of Ore gon recognizes that there are none separate and distinct fed erally recognized Indian tribal government located within the Boundaries of the state; and WHEREAS: The State and tri bal governments acknowledge that tribes and the State have historical relationships and unique rights shaped by federal and state constitutions, statutes and treaties with the United States government and executive ord ers of the President.
