7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, MAY 26, 2016 Library: Options discussed have more realistic cost estimates Continued from Page 1A Councilors Cindy Price and Zetty Nemlowill told city staff they needed more infor- mation on inancing. “The main thing for me is the cost to taxpayers,” Price said. “The enduring cost to taxpayers that might have to come through a bond.” City Councilor Drew Her- zig, however, warned of the cost of taking no action and leaving the community with a substandard library. Precise igures dificult Precise igures are difi- cult to calculate until the City Council chooses an option, and, even then, the cost could depend on several variables. The easiest calculation would be to presume the city would have to pay for a new or expanded library, likely by asking taxpayers to sup- port a bond. The cost could be shared by a private devel- oper if the project includes housing. Private fundraising and grants could help offset the cost. Depending on the inal selection, the city could also market the existing library and the privately owned Wal- dorf Hotel in a redevelopment Submitted Graphic City consultants presented six options Wednesday for a new or renovated public library. package to investors. Options detailed The six options discussed on Wednesday have more realistic cost estimates than previous outlines, but city staff cautioned that the ig- ures and designs are still preliminary. • Option A/10th Street library expands into the basement. The construction cost would range from $5.7 million to $7.1 million. The option is the least expensive and disruptive, but the draw- backs include the need for additional staff to operate the library on two loors. • Option B/10th Street library expands into the parking lot. The cost would run from $9 million to $10.4 million. The beneit would be that all public spaces would be kept on one loor, but park- ing would be lost. • Option C/10th Street library expands into the Waldorf Hotel with hous- ing. The cost for the library expansion would be between $10.2 million and $11.7 mil- lion, while the estimate for the housing feature is $2.5 million to $3.5 million. The option would achieve the goal of an expanded library and could bring new life to a hotel — also known as the Merwyn — that many consider a historic treasure. The housing could be workforce micro-hous- ing units. But operating the library may be functionally dificult and would likely require two loors. • Option D/10th Street library expands into the Waldorf. The cost is pro- jected between $8.4 million and $9.6 million, signiicantly higher than the $4.6 million estimate when the City Coun- cil approved a version of the idea in 2014. The option would require additional staff to cover two loors. The Wal- dorf would be demolished. • Option E/New library at Heritage Square. The cost is pegged between $8.7 mil- lion and $10.1 million. The city would be able to design the new library from scratch and integrate the building into a redevelopment strategy. The risk is that the existing library and the Waldorf could sit vacant. • Option F/New library with housing at Heritage Square. The cost of the library would be between $8.7 million and $10.1 mil- lion, while the housing com- ponent would run from $15.6 million to $17.8 million. The housing could be market-rate units. The project could help revitalize Heritage Square, but the city would have to ind uses for the existing library and the Waldorf. Kevin Cronin, the city’s community development director, said the two Heritage Square options were the most popular among the people who attended an open house at the library Wednesday. The city will continue to accept public comment over the next month. The Library Board, which has watched as the City Coun- cil wavered, is preparing to make a recommendation. The aging library, designed in 1965, does not meet reader demand and has physical shortcomings such as a lack of access for the disabled. “We’re ready,” Kate Sum- mers, the chairwoman of the Library Board, told coun- cilors. “We want to make a decision with you. We want to give you information you need.” Squabble: There’s no timeline on the court deciding what to do Continued from Page 1A That review could involve oral arguments, which both sides have requested in their motions for summary judg- ment, or a review of ilings by the judge. There is no timeline on the court deciding what to do. Arguments The citizens group alleges the Corps improperly permit- ted Wal-Mart to ill the wetlands for the new store without ade- quately assessing environmen- tal impacts and available alter- natives. Anuta seeks judicial review of the Corps’ wetland ill permit at the retail center under the federal Clean Water Act and National Environmental Policy Act, along with review of the Corps’ environmental impact analysis and inding of no signif- icant impact in September 2014 that underpinned the approval of the ill permit. As for alternatives, Anuta claims the Corps arbitrarily rejected a parcel owned by Warrenton Fiber Co. and the Nygaard family behind the Les Schwab Tire Center, where the agency had approved illing in wetlands in 2009 for the retailer to be able to build. The Corps argues the wet- land ill at the retail center will have a minimal impact in a des- 70 Help Wanted 70 Help Wanted AM/PM LINE & PREP COOKS, DISHWASHERS.

In a iling in support of the Corps’ motion for summary judgment, Martin claims the Corps looked at the Nygaard property but determined it was not a practical alternative because of costs for develop- ment and logistical concerns. “Neither plaintiffs’ phil- osophical opposition to Wal- Mart, nor their permitting dis- agreements and regulatory methodology preferences, ren- der the Corps’ permit decision arbitrary and capricious,” Mar- tin wrote. 70 Help Wanted 70 Help Wanted THE DAILY ASTORIAN New Today 70 Help Wanted Awakenings By The Sea is accepting applications for full-time Recovery Advocate, LPN/RN and part-time cook. 100% paid insurance (FT) and competitive pay.
