9A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, MARCH 7, 2017 Waldorf: Project would include about 40 one-bedroom, studio units Continued from Page 1A between Astoria City Hall and the library. Barring any shock- ing surprises, she said, the non- profit will likely buy the build- ing and move forward with a housing development. Workforce housing The project would include about 40 one-bedroom and stu- dio units. “It would be for people that are earning 50 and 60 percent of median income,” Garver said. “That’s a lot of entry-level jobs and service-level jobs that would make those incomes.” On the ground floor would be a retail outlet of about 800 square feet, for which Garver said Innovative Housing is open to proposals. “We’re a year or two away from getting the project done, because it takes a little longer to put affordable-housing financ- ing together,” she said. Garver said paying for the project will involve lining up a Jeff Daly/Submitted Photo The reception area of the Waldorf Hotel. A proposed project would remodel the building. series of tax credits for histor- ical buildings and affordable housing, a mortgage and some smaller grants through the State Historic Preservation Office. Local connection Sarah Lu Heath, director of the Astoria Downtown Historic District Association, said she learned about the Waldorf Hotel during the Oregon Main Street Conference in September. Heath, formerly the state devel- opment director for Restore Oregon, said she told Garver about the building, before put- ting her in touch with City Manager Brett Estes at a resto- ration celebration a month later. “We’re excited to see some- thing done with that property, as it sits between two key city facilities,” Estes said of the Waldorf. Most of Innovative Hous- ing’s work has been in the Port- land area, save for a 54-unit apartment project developed on a rundown mobile home park in Albany. Garver said the com- munity came together in sup- port of that project, a similar sentiment she said has drawn Innovative Housing to Astoria. “It sounds like the com- munity really wants the build- ing saved, and there’s a lot of energy around that,” Garver said of the Waldorf. Saved from demolition Groat Brothers pur- chased the building in 2012 for $25,000, with the intent to tear it down for an expansion of the library. The plan faced a backlash from preservationists arguing to save the 1920s-era building as an example of Late Commercial architecture with Renaissance detailing. The Historic Landmarks Commis- sion eventually voted against demolition. Dennis Groat, a vice pres- ident of Groat Brothers, had advocated for demolishing the building because of rot and other structural issues he said had created a safety issue. Reached Monday, Groat said he doesn’t have a problem with the building becoming work- force housing. Garver said that Innova- tive Housing, formed in 1984, has never sold a property it developed. “We’re a long- term owner,” she said, adding the nonprofit intends to keep the building well-maintained and available as affordable housing. Homeless: ‘There’s a small number of people ruining it for the rest of us’ Property Watch, in which offi- cers get permission from the owners of vacant buildings to trespass people loitering in vacant storefronts, awnings, alcoves and other covered areas off the public right-of- way where people gather. Sgt. Andrew Randall of the Asto- ria Police Department, interfac- ing with property owners, can be reached at arandall@asto- ria.or.us Johnston said police enforcement in problem areas has shifted around downtown, visiting the Sixth Street View- ing Platform, the downtown transit center and most recently Marine Drive and Commercial Street. Part of that enforcement, he said, depends on people’s willingness to report unlawful activity such as impeding traf- fic on the sidewalk and touch- ing of people or their property. “We’re busy; don’t get me wrong,” Johnston said. “We’re not looking for work, but let us decide if we can help you.” Johnston said police can help “as long as we have a com- plainant who is going to say something other than, ‘I don’t really want anything done; I just kind of want them to leave.’ Because that puts us in a very difficult situation, because we can ask them to leave … but then what?” He reminded people of the nonemergency dispatch number — 503-325-4411 — through which complainants can reach a police officer. Community Development Director Kevin Cronin, at the meeting Friday, said one way to address panhandling could be setting up collection meters for people to donate to local ser- vices instead of individuals. Johnston said the police are starting a new program called One of the places merchants hope the program will help is the former Garbo’s Vintage Wear storefront. Vacated last year for a marijuana store but still vacant, the storefront has become a regular gathering spot for a rotating group of people loitering, panhandling, drink- ing in public and occasion- ally accosting passers-by. Rest- ing and sharing a drink there Wednesday afternoon, amid others, were Zombie and Buck, the nicknames they provided.

Loitering, sitting and lying in public spaces is also allowed, he said, with prohib- itive ordinances challenged in the courts. As for public intoxi- cation, Johnston said, it violates city code and results in a fine, which people often can’t afford to pay but costs the city money to issue.

Buck, a local in his early 30s, said he was laid off in the winter from a construction job and fell on hard times. “We’re loud and obnoxious sometimes, but we’re not robbing any- body,” he said. Buck and Zombie both said there is a small cross-section of the homeless community caus- ing problems and making life more difficult for others just trying to meet their basic daily needs before moving on or find- ing employment. “There’s a small number of people ruining it for the rest of us,” Zombie said. She said most people just want their basic needs met, such as a place to use the bathroom. The city has a coded entry to the down- town bathrooms near 13th and Exchange streets, but has installed port-a-potties at 16th and Ninth streets near the Asto- ria Riverwalk. But Buck said the distance to the bathrooms from downtown can deter some people from using them The former Garbo’s store- front could soon get busier, with building owner Donald Sloan saying development will start within the week on the marijuana store, and that work- ers will vacate the people out front. Buck said the police can enforce the laws and move peo- ple around, but that it won’t change anything. “Maybe we need more help.” Coordinating services The homelessness task force Johnston was recruited to head in 2015 after similar complaints regarding aggressive behav- ior resulted in port-a-potties on 16th and Ninth streets near the Astoria Riverwalk, along with recommendations to advo- cate for more centralized ser- vices, inventory the need for and advocate for housing and shelter and build the capac- ity of local nonprofit advocacy groups like Riverfolk and Clat- sop Community Action, which assist with daily living needs and housing. Cronin said that while Asto- ria has separate groups provid- ing essential services, there’s no regional authority to organize efforts. If he had an unlimited bud- get, Johnston said, he’d estab- lish a central service where peo- ple can go for anything from charging phones and storing belongings to seeking addiction treatment or getting help find- ing employment, something not even cities like Portland and Eugene have been able to pro- vide. “That’s my vision, is to have gapless service, to have a place where there is one place that a person can go if they need help, if they’re down and out.” L EGAL N OTICES AB6118 TRUSTEEʼS NOTICE OF SALE T.S.
