5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 2016 Hotel: City Council will consider appeals at Aug. 22 meeting Continued from Page 1A Height, setback variance challenges Simmons, with his wife, Rocio, owns and operates four boutique hotels in Seaside and Cannon Beach, including Sea- side’s Gilbert Inn, purchased in 2014. The Inn at the Prom, which they purchased in 2011, would be replaced by the Pearl. Rooms are proposed for three loors, while a penthouse loor drawing shows ive rooms capped by a tower roof. Plans include a two-level parking garage on Beach Drive with 41 inside spaces. An additional 10 outdoor spaces will be available on Avenue A. A variance was required to bring parking spaces to code. Because of street grade dif- ferences on the property, Sim- mons requested a 7-foot height variance to exceed the build- ing height limit of 45 feet to 52 feet, putting it at about the same height as the neighboring Promenade Condominiums. Simmons said Tuesday the value of the Nudelman and Calef homes are dificult to address, as both properties are already located in the shadows of the nine-story Wyndham resort and other condominium developments. “In the ’70s the Planning Commission changed this area, Submitted Photo View of the Relton Apartments at the site of the proposed hotel. The apartments and a neighboring building were torn down after being scorched by a fire. when it was rezoned as ‘resort residential,’” Simmons said. “Since then, this area has been and continues to be in a state of transition from residential to resort type developments.” Variance needed, owner says In their appeal, the Calefs said the Pearl would reduce light, views and privacy and could inlict damage during excavation. “The value of our property will be signiicantly reduced due to the size and lay- out of the proposed hotel if the variances are granted,” they wrote. “Excavation is something to be concerned about,” added engineer Philip Gerwien in a letter urging measures to deter- mine responsibility for poten- tial property damage during construction. “I don’t believe we will dam- age the two homes,” Simmons said. A Planning Commission decision to grant a variance for side-yard reduction from 8 feet to 3 feet from the property line adjacent to the Nudelman home was also contested. “We have looked at many layouts and we cannot create a building based on the exist- ing setbacks that will allow a safe low for cars,” Simmons said. “The setbacks are based on the parking requirements for stall lengths, back-out and lane widths. With setbacks we will be building 15 feet away from his home.” A driveway would be built in front of the Calef property, Sim- R.J.

Without the variance, set- backs would allow only one- half the number of units and make the project not feasible to build, Simmons said. Simmons could redesign the hotel or plan fewer rooms or parking spaces for the hotel, eliminating the requirement for variances, attorney Sean Malone stated on behalf of Nudelman. “Exceptional and extraordi- nary circumstances” necessary to win variances do not exist, he wrote in the appeal. The City Council will con- sider the appeals at a meeting on Aug. 22. Submitted Graphic Plans for the Pearl of Seaside. Goforth: She’s been called ‘godmother’ to Maritime Memorial Park Continued from Page 1A The Maritime Memorial Park is now a showcase for Astoria. Historic lights, hang- ing baskets and landscaping have been added to the park area. During a restoration event at the Maritime Memorial in 2011, Mike Morgan, a for- mer city planner and Can- non Beach mayor, thanked Goforth for her passion for the park. “She essentially started this project many years ago and is pretty much the ‘god- THE DAILY ASTORIAN W EDNESDAY E VENING A (2) (-) (-) (6) (-) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (-) (20) (-) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) L KATU KOMO KING KOIN KIRO KGW KRCW KOPB KPTV KPDX KCPQ TBS KZJO ESPN ESPN2 NICK DISN FAM FMC LIFE ROOT FS1 SPIKE COM HIST A&E TLC DISC NGEO TNT AMC USA FOOD HGTV FX CNN FNC CNBC BRAV TCM SYFY RFD (2) (4) (5) (-) (7) (-) (3) (10) (12) (-) (13) (20) (22) (29) (30) (31) (32) (34) (35) (36) (38) (39) (43) (44) (45) (46) (47) (48) (49) (50) (51) (52) (53) (54) (56) (57) (58) (61) (63) (64) (65) (162) 6 mother’ of the memorial park,” Morgan said. “I don’t think it would happen with- out her.” Goforth knew how import- ant the memorial was to the ishermen’s families. “They all loved the river and loved living in Astoria,” she said in 2006. “This wall tells the story of our town.” Goforth’s daughter Debi Barner, who lives in Poulsbo, Washington, remembers growing up in Astoria and watching her mother become a staple of the Uniontown community. Goforth would mix it up with people at her pub, Barner said, and eventu- ally was tied into the history of Uniontown.
