Cannon Beach council
Consul t a
tackles paving ideas
PROFESSIONAL
By NANCY MCCARTHY
The Daily Astorian
CANNON BEACH — If
neighbors on a local gravel
road want their street paved,
their proposal will be dis-
cussed in a public hearing
where everyone can discuss
it and the Cannon Beach City
&RXQFLOZLOOPDNHD¿QDOGH-
cision.
That provision is contained
in revised street standards
guidelines considered by the
council at its work session
Tuesday night.
While the guidelines say
that existing “unpaved” roads
are to remain gravel, the City
Council will have the right to
determine when conditions,
such as a slope or other prob-
lems, require that a road be
paved. Neighborhoods, how-
ever, can request that their
streets be paved.
Before a neighborhood’s
graveled street can be paved,
property owners must submit
a request to the city’s Pub-
lic Works director showing
that at least two-thirds of the
owners support the project
and are willing to pay for it.
The city will contribute 20
percent of the asphalt pav-
ing, and property owners
will pay 80 percent. Property say they don’t want it paved,”
owners could opt out of pay- said Councilor Mike Bene-
ing, but the cost would have ¿HOG ZKR DGGHG WKDW WKRVH

“It makes me a little un-

can get their street paved, but
maybe not,” he added.
But Councilor Wendy Hig-
gins noted that “people want
to be heard.”
“Yeah, sometimes it gets
emotional, but that’s our job,”
she said.
City
Manager
Brant
Kucera agreed. “If you’re ask-
ing people to pay 20 percent
of the cost, they have a right
to be heard,” he said.
But, he added, “People
across town aren’t going to be
affected. I would hope that the
government body takes into
account that 98 percent of the
neighborhood wants it.”

wallader noted that, if the City

Cadwallader also asked
Grassick whether the vege-
tation in the neighborhood
would be taken into account
when the street design is
drawn. Grassick said the
paving would generally fol-
low the existing right of way.
Local roads that wind around
trees now will remain that
way, even if they are paved,
he said.
Voters boost coffers at college
Patriot Hall
Redevelopment
to start in June
By EDWARD STRATTON
The Daily Astorian
Clatsop Community Col-
lege has about $7.4 million
more than budgeted in its
plant fund to use for construc-
tion, renovation and acquisi-
tion of capital assets.
The boost is part of the
$8.2 million local match for
the Patriot Hall Redevelop-
ment the college secured in
the November election.
“In my 3 1/2 years here,
that is the most resources
we’ve had over expenses,”

report to the college’s gov-
erning board Tuesday. When
Zahn arrived in 2011, she was
faced with cutting about $1
million from the budget.
More than 58 percent of
county voters approved of
matching an $7.99 million
state appropriation to CCC
with up to $8.2 million in lo-
cal general obligation bonds.
The $16 million will fund the
replacement of the seismical-
ly unstable Patriot Hall with
a newly redeveloped student
health and wellness center at
CCC, still named Patriot Hall.

The college breaks ground on
the Patriot Hall Redevelopment
at 1 p.m. June 13. It’s expected
to take 18 months to redevelop
the academic hall, which will in-
clude a full gym, weight center,
indoor elevated running track
and other classroom space. It is
set to open by fall term 2016.
In January, the college
selected P&C Construction
as the general contractor and
construction manager for the
Patriot Hall Redevelopment.

In the most recent post,
from March 4, Astoria High
School Senior Matthew Cox
explores the history of Pa-
triot Hall’s plaque, com-
memorating veterans from
Clatsop County. The plaque,
unveiled when Patriot Hall
was dedicated on the third-an-
nual Armistice Day Nov.
11, 1921, has been removed
for cleaning, restoration and
safe-keeping, but will adorn
the redeveloped building.
