Wednesday, December 20, 2017 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon 31 Year saw significant development By Sue Stafford Correspondent “2017 saw explosive development in our city in both residential and commer- cial projects, which clearly promotes a healthy finan- cial picture,” Sisters Mayor Chuck Ryan told The Nugget in an end-of-year assessment last week (see related story, page 3). “The landscape of our city never looked better com- ing off the Cascade Avenue improvements from 2016 and our new roundabout project completion in 2017,” reported Ryan. Ninety-two building per- mits were issued for sin- gle-family dwelling units throughout the city, plus 20 for single-family attached units in the Peaks at Pine Meadow and the Village at Cold Springs, and 14 for mixed-use. Land-use applications during 2017 totaled 49 with eight site plans, two modifi- cations, six final plats, three minor partitions, and 30 other assorted applications. There were 42 business license reviews. An up-to-date zoning map was completed and a lengthy buildable-lands inventory and map was completed, pro- viding in-depth information regarding current land avail- ability and future needs for land to meet the demand for future residential growth, as the 2016 population estimate of 2,390 is projected to grow to 4,375 by 2036, an increase of 1,985 persons. By the spring of 2018, construction should be under- way on 48 affordable work- force housing apartment units planned for Village Meadows Phase Two by HousingWorks. The site plan is approved and the building permit is cur- rently under review. “The City is contributing $300,000 to that project as a part of our affordable-housing strategy,” Kucera highlighted. Site plan approval has been issued for a 22-unit mul- tifamily apartment complex on Adams Avenue, with con- struction anticipated to begin in 2018. Laird SuperFood has begun construction on one of two warehouse/light indus- trial buildings, one 13,600 square feet and the other at 6,888 square feet. In the North Sisters Business Park, there has been building per- mit signoff on five commer- cial spaces in two mixed-use buildings. Ground was just recently broken for The Lodge, a 62-unit assisted-living facil- ity on seven acres adjacent to the post office, slated to The landscape of our city never looked better coming off the Cascade Avenue improvements from 2016 and our new roundabout project completion in 2017. — Mayor Chuck Ryan “All of these accomplish- ments are credited to a self- less and coordinated team including the entire staff at City Hall, who are incred- ibly talented and dedicated, a Council that has stability and tremendous talent and insight, volunteers that serve on vari- ous committees and boards and help pave the way for informed Council decisions, a Chamber of Commerce that works hard to keep our City robust, and a community that has been very supportive throughout the year,” said Ryan. 170 W.
