7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, AUGUST 11, 2015 Buoy 10: Deaths in 2001 triggered stronger patrol Continued from Page 1A A couple years ago, Hilburg- er said, one ¿sherman avoided by a foot getting run over by a barge being towed downriver. “He wasn’t even aware of the danger, and that’s what’s scary,” Hilburger said. “The only two people on board who had life jack- ets were the two kids. It wouldn’t have done them much good.” On the docks “Next weekend, this place will be organized chaos,” said Corey Deck, an auxiliarist watching over the boat ramp at Hammond Marina. Each Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning, Deck and about 12 other auxiliarists station themselves at local boat launches on either side of the lower Co- lumbia. There rests the bulk of the auxiliary’s preventative ef- forts to keep boaters safe, provid- ing information on safe boating and scanning for potential issues before people ever enter the river. “When people get ¿sh fever, sometimes the sense is in the back seat,” Deck said, shortly after noting one angler driving his draining boat back to the parking lot, after backing it into the marina without putting in his boat plugs. Recently, Deck said, the Warrenton Police Department Edward Stratton/The Daily Astorian U.S. Coast Guard auxiliarists say that the Warrenton Police Department posting an officer, in this case Robert Wirth, on scene helps defuse any potential conflicts. started placing of¿cers on the boat ramp at the Hammond Ma- rina, which he added immedi- ately improves how people car- ry themselves when launching. Police Chief Matt Workman said placing an of¿cer there and facilitating traf¿c helps reduce the number of chippy argu- ments between ¿shers. Some of the auxiliarists are also commercial vessel safety inspectors in addition to work- ing during Buoy 10. They offer free inspections of commercial vessels, Wood said, but because of budget constraints can’t extend the service to the pro- digious number of “six pack” charter boats taking up to six ¿shers apiece. Some auxiliarists also share their opinions that life jackets, currently required only for peo- ple 12 and younger, should be required for everyone, along with VHF radios. Reserve unit “They’re a force multipli- er for us,” said Capt. Daniel Travers, commander of Sector Columbia River, of the job the auxiliary does for the active duty Coast Guard. With his units often occu- pied with searches and rescues, Travers said the auxiliary, along with all the other state, county and local agencies, play an im- portant role in keeping ¿sher- men safe and the waterway clear for ship traf¿c. He estimated about 160 ac- tive-duty Coast Guardsmen, along with the auxiliary, patrol Buoy 10, along with county sheriff’s of¿ces, state police and local agencies from both sides of the river. The Coast Guard’s strength- ened Buoy 10 operation is par- tially a response to 2001, when seven people died during the ¿shery. Since then, fatalities have been reduced to at most one in a given year, but usually none. By the halfway point of Hil- burger’s patrol Saturday, as he is pulling into the Warrenton marina, a report comes over the radio of a vessel taking on water. By the end of the weekend, the Coast Guard had responded to 19 cases, mostly minor except for two capsizings, six people in the water and 12 searches and rescues. The people in the water were rescued by fellow ¿sher- men and the Washington De- partment of Fish and Wildlife. Last weekend was only the beginning. Travers, Workman and the auxiliarists all expect Buoy 10 to heat up over the next few weekends. Gearhart: Motion to waive fee charge passed by a 3-2 vote Continued from Page 1A “They want to get their house back legally on their property,” Connell said. “They believe it was a surveyor’s error and noth- ing more than that. This piece would be the beginning to cor- rect the rest of the properties on Ocean Avenue between D and E and get everybody squared.” A similar street vacation oc- curred in 1999, when the city vacated a 10-foot portion of D Street east of South Ocean Ave- nue for one block, Connell said. Neighbors attending the meeting, including South Ocean Avenue and Marion Avenue property owners, said they sup- ported the street vacation. City Councilor John Duncan pointed to potential concerns. With the street vacation, a park- land dedication by a previous owner could be considered void, and heirs to the previous owners could seek that property back, now valued at $3 million. In addition, since state laws say the city must retain a supply of 20 years of buildable lots, the street vacation could block po- tential development mandated by law. “We went through work that said we had about 20 years’ sup- ply right now,” Duncan said. “Based on the number of per- mits that have gone out, we’re approaching 20. How many years at 20 years does it take to use up the 200 lots we have right now? Ten years.” Retaining an easement Duncan proposed retaining an easement over the property being vacated by the city, which would protect the city should sidewalk or street improvements be required. “I can support a va- cation if we keep an easement that allows existing home struc- tures to stay in place,” he said. “I can’t support vacating that with- out retaining that easement.” City Councilor Dan Jesse supported the street vacation. “It’s helping a whole block of property owners,” he said. Councilor Sue Lorain said the city received land because of the error. “Without all the science, without the ‘what if,’ what I heard happening was somebody screwed up the surveying way back when,” she said. “The city lucked out. We got 10 feet of land we really shouldn’t have gotten because of this mess-up. I Carole Connell John Duncan don’t think we should go laugh- ing, ‘Look what we got.’ I think they deserve to keep that 10 feet, as long as they are working with the rest of the neighborhood.” Mayor Dianne Widdop called it “a major screw-up.” “These people deserve to have the right to sell their prop- erty if they so desire and give clear title,” she said. Dianne Widdop Fee waiver Councilors approved the street vacation and easement unanimously, which triggered the second part of the request, a waiver of the street vacation fee. Based on assessed value of the Ocean Avenue land, the fee was determined to be at least $86,000 and possibly much more. Councilors Duncan and Jes- se said they were concerned that a fee waiver could set a prece- dent for future applicants. “They’re getting a lot of high-dollar property for noth- ing,” Duncan said. “Do we have to do this for all our citizens? Give all of our citizens $100- plus thousand dollars?” “I take exception, I don’t think these folks have come up with a story,” said Lorain. “Maybe in the future someone will ‘come up with a story,’ but this group is one of the most prepared I’ve seen. I don’t think they should have to pay for something we’re controlling.” The motion to waive the fee charge passed by a 3-2 vote, with Lorain, Jesse and Widdop voting on its behalf. Councilors Duncan and Kerry Smith voted against the proposal.
