Resort: Legal appeals could delay construction
Continued from Page 1A
The height of the western
portion of the building from
the adjacent grade would be
52 feet due to a below-grade
story, City Planner Kevin
Cupples wrote in a sum-
mary. The resort residential
zone limits building height
to 45 feet, necessitating the
variance.
“A number of pre-existing
buildings in the surrounding
area are close to or exceed the
requested building height,”
Cupples wrote.
‘Dwarf our house’
The Planning Commission
granted the height variance in
January, a decision appealed
to the City Council by the
Calefs, owners of a duplex at
25 Avenue A.
The proposed resort at
341 South Prom, the Calefs
wrote in their appeal, “will
dwarf our house, invade our
privacy by placing hotel
balconies feet from our
upstairs bedroom and gener-
ally diminish the value of our
property.”
Neighbor Avrel Nudel-
man, one of those to appeal
the setback variance, with-
drew his formal challenge but
added a letter of support for
the Calefs in their bid to chal-

lenge the building height.
Late Friday, Planner Cup-
ples received a memorandum
on behalf of the Calefs’ appeal
from Sean Malone, a Eugene-
based land use attorney.
The document was not
provided to city councilors,
city staff and Simmons until
Monday.
“There is no evidence in
the record that a hotel that can
satisfy the height standards
would not fit within the con-
text of the location,” Malone
wrote. “Exceptional and
extraordinary circumstances
do not exist.”
According to Malone, the
city’s findings do not demon-
strate the variance is consis-
tent with the ordinance or
comprehensive plan and “do
not demonstrate that (the)
variance will not be injurious
to the neighborhood.”
The applicant’s proposed
hotel is “really what creates
the necessity for the vari-
ance,” Dan Calef added in

testimony before councilors.
The late submission failed
to sway the council.
‘Need to resolve it’
“I haven’t read any of it,”
City Attorney Dan Van Thiel
said. “One thing is clear is
that this matter has been
before this city for a year and
a half. … But I can tell you
the city has spent a lot of time
looking at the very issues that
are the subject of the whole
controversy.”
Van Thiel said he believed
in “finality” and letting “peo-
ple get on with their own
lives.”
“I think we need to resolve
it, at least at this stage,” Van
Thiel said.
No matter the outcome,
the question can be appealed
to the state Land Use Board of
Appeals.
Councilors unanimously
rejected the Calefs’ request,
showing support for the Plan-
ning Commission’s recom-
mendation and citing the
option of a state appeal.
“I agree with the (city)
attorney,” Councilor Dana
Phillips said. “If they want to
appeal the decision, they can
go to LUBA.”
“I’ve been torn about this
the whole time, but if we deny
the appeal, they still have
some place to go,” Councilor
Tita Montero said.
“I see it as part of living
in a beach town,” Mayor Jay
Barber said. “This is an old
residence that has been there
from way back and it is in a
resort zone. Eventually the
time is going to come when
it is going to be impacted in
a negative way for the peo-
ple who have lived there and
owned it for years. I do feel
badly about that.”
Councilors Seth Morrisey
and Randy Frank joined Bar-
ber, Montero and Phillips in
voting to deny the appeal.
“We’re excited to hit the
ground running and know we
can move forward with the
project,” Simmons said after
the meeting. “We’ve got a lot
of work in front of us still.”
Work is not expected to
start until fall and could be
delayed by legal appeals,
Simmons added.
“We will be exploring the
LUBA option,” Dan Calef
said after the meeting. “That
will probably be our next
step.”
Costa: Program is recorded in Portland and has up to 3 million listeners
Continued from Page 1A
Costa said the book eventu-
ally became a bestseller, reach-
ing 26 countries and landing
her various speaking tours with
the American Program Bureau.
After a stint guest-hosting a
radio program near San Fran-
cisco, she said, she was offered
a show of her own.
The Costa Report
For the past seven years,
Costa has produced The Costa
Report. The weekly program,
which Costa said has up to 3
million listeners, includes an
hourlong interview with noted
philosophers,
journalists,
authors, politicians, historical
figures and other newsmakers
and thought-leaders on major
current events.
Costa said many big issues
often receive superficial treat-
ment through the mainstream
media. She said the longer
interviews on her program
help move beyond the initial
talking points, “so we can get
to talking about solutions.”
Costa, a registered indepen-
dent, said she spends another
part of the program moderating
a roundtable discussion with
right- and a left-leaning pan-
elists. Costa said she records
the program each Thursday
in Portland. The show runs
on various broadcast stations
Thursday through Sunday.

Cazee: He is also facing
open investigations in
Multnomah County
Continued from Page 1A
The most recent alleged
incidents partially influenced
the timing of Cazee’s arrest,
Marquis said. He also pointed
to preservation of evidence
and growing concerns from
alleged victims’ families as
reasons for the timing.
Charges include numer-
ous counts of invasion of per-
sonal privacy, using a child
in a sexually explicit display,
encouraging child sex abuse,
criminal trespass and stalking.
Bail has been set at $2 million
and Cazee is scheduled for an
early resolution conference
later this month.
Cazee is also facing open
investigations in Multnomah
County and through the FBI,
Marquis said at an arraign-
ment Monday. He works part
time as a nurse at a Clackamas
area hospital and has a resi-
dence in southeast Portland.
He previously had no crimi-
nal history in Oregon.
“Sometimes people are
completely shocked by the
persona someone has,” Mar-
quis said.
