MINOR URBAN BOUNDARY LINF ADJUSTiJfENT
(36 R2W 34 and 35 TAX LOT 2200)
Jackson County School Distract No. 6 desires to obtain municipal water services
far it's property known as the Future Farmers of America Land Loh and Mel Anhorn
Baseball Field located in the vicinity of the northeast quadrant of the City
south of where Upton Road tuns east and west anal north of Beax Creek and has
therefore requested that said property be included within the City of Central
Point Urban Growth Boundary Area so that it would be eligible for annexation into
the City of Central Point.
FINDINGS:
I. Subject property is used for the (Future Farmers of America) land laboratory
which provides far District 6 animal and crap studies. The property also
accommodates the Mel Anhorn Baseball Field. These two facilities provide
positive educational and recreational opportunities and thus help to satisfy
the continuing demand for such faca:~ities by urban populations (Statewide
Goal 11). While said facilities and services do not satisfy a need for hous-
ing ar large scale employment opportunities, they da help to enhance the
livability of the City of Central Point Urban Growth Boundary Area.
2. Subject property does not provide adequate well water to supnart it`s facili-
ties and services. Gity of Central Point water main is located within a
one-hundred (100) foot distance from the westerly boundary of the property.
?Municipal *aater services will provide for an orderly and economic provision
of Urban Facilities and Services as defi~aed in Statewide Planning Goal ~Ta. 11.
3. Approximately 15 acres of subject property has a soil capability of Class 1
and is thus very suitable for growing field craps and a portion of the land
is used to grow alfalf a, corn, and other crops. The farm use also facili-
tates the educational use described in Section 1 of this document,- and there-
fore serves a greater and higher need by promoting agricultural knowledge,
agriculture enterprise and agricultural productivity for future generations.
Such activities along with the recreational benefits provided by Mel Anhorn
Baseball field lend themselves to increased efficiency of subject property
which is proposed to be included within the Central Point UGB.
4. Under the District's strategy, the facility will operate by means of munici-
pal water service rather than an inadequate supply of well water. Such
services will be made available less expensively, and more efficiently than
by way 'of costly searching, drilling and maintaining poor well water facili-
ties. The resulting efficiencies and cost savings gained through providing a
stable potable water supply will benefit those who receive educational and
recreational services from District No. 6.
5. A major portion of subject property is classified for agricultural use as a
Class I with other soils along Bear Creek holding Class 2 and 4 status. All
agricultural land on subject property will be retained within it's agricultur-
al status and soil capability class. Said agricultural status will also be
enhanced by approval. of proposed Minor Urban Growth Boundary Adjustzaent and
Annexation.

6. School District ~~ has developed plans for the Rogue
Ecosystem Project which will provide for an advanced
biology course, a learning center and an ecological
park. The project is planned to occur in three phases
and is designed to promote community wide active
participation, understanding and improving the Rogue
Basis Ecosystem and man's relationship with it. The
District's project, which is underway with the salmon
hatchery component of the advanced biology course and
the development of nature and agricultural trails, helps
to accomplish statewide Planning Goal #~ in that said
project will preserve open space and natural biological
habitats, Our coming into an urban setting would
enhance development.
7. Whether included or not included within the Central UGB
area, said facility will exist and operate harmoniously
with surrounding land uses. Besides providing an
educational facility for increasing populations with the
UGB area, said property will:
a. preserve agricultural lands
b. preserve aesthetics and scenic benefits of open
space
c. satisfy recreation needs
d. facilitate delivery of educational and
recreational services,
