The Royal Rangers

The special meeting re the Royal Rangers proposed camp originally planned by SB County Planning Commission for Oct. 15 was postponed to an as yet undetermined date in December.

Background: More than three years ago, after the Planning Commission recommended denial, the Board of Supervisors allowed the Royal Rangers an opportunity to revise their plan, meet with the public locally for input and resubmit a down-scaled plan within 75 days. After nearly a year a public meeting was held in Twin Peaks where the applicants presented some proposed changes. The project was again soundly rejected by local residents, especially when several statements made by Royal Ranger representatives were proven to be false. On July 23, 2009, more than two years later, another public meeting was held (with standing room only) in Crestline where it was admitted that no additional design changes had been made to the project since the revision in 2007, which the public had decried.
