Newspaper Page Text2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, JUNE 29, 2016 ‘What is a favorite Fourth of July memory?’ “Standing out on the roof of the Net Loft that Nebeker owns a few years ago, and watching the ﬁ reworks.” “It would have to be when my Aunt Kristin came up from Nevada and we got a room at the Shilo Inn and watched the ﬁ re- works in Seaside. It was a great night. It was fun.” Liz Harris, Astoria THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK Austin Ogier, Knappa By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian The Astoria Planning Com- mission on Tuesday approved a conditional use permit for Asto- ria Indoor Garden Supply owner Oscar Nelson to grow marijuana and make soap inside his new location. Nelson, also a partner in the dispensary chain Sweet Relief Natural Medicine, moved the store from downtown Astoria to 3,000 square feet he rents in construction contractor John Carriere’s new building at 487- 491 Marine Drive . His two- year conditional use permit for light manufacturing covers one-quarter of the space . City Planner Nancy Ferber said the marijuana grown there would be for testing and not for distribution, releasing it from cer- tain reviews by police and the Ore- gon Liquor Control Commission. “The cannabis that will be growing will be medicinal, so Dwight Caswell/For The Daily Astorian Above: Angela Meade, second from left, sang Leono- ra in Verdi’s “Il Trovatore ” Sunday, the role she sang in her debut at the Astoria Music Festival in 2011.

Nelson said the space will be for research and development of equipment, and potentially for selling marijuana plant starts, if he can ﬁ nd a legal avenue. He is still awaiting approval from the state to grow marijuana in the space. “I feel that this is going to have zero impact on the community,” he said. “To the outside citizen, it’s going to be business as usual. There’s going to be no odor, no adverse trafﬁ c through there. It’s just going to be, really, a space for me to play, to be quite frank.” Linda Stephens, who owns two houses above Carriere’s building, said she doesn’t want Nelson’s grow operation in her backyard. “I see it as a step for more activity than that property can maybe handle, parking-wise,” she added.

Turning to Stephens, who he later gave a business card to, Nelson said he would address any issues. Planning commissioners com- miserated with Stephens over her concerns of a marijuana-growing operation so close to a residential zone, but said Nelson’s applica- tion met the criteria for a general commercial zone. Commissioner Sean Fitzpat- rick said he owned a property adjacent to the garden store’s pre- vious location, under which Nel- son grew marijuana, and didn’t see any effects on the use of his property. “There’s just really no way we can say ‘no,’” said C ommissioner Jan Mitchell. “They complied with the requirements staff has given. You know, if it becomes a problem, then, I would have the right to comment on that … and ask for a change. But it seems to be legal.” OBITUARY SUNDAY REGIONAL WEATHER Precipitation Tuesday ............................................
