Cemetery: New
volunteers are
very much needed
Continued from Page 1A
“We’ll really see the
changes next spring,” Cosby
said.
For now, volunteer crews
are helping to close the gap.
Dart-McLean has talked to
the Coast Guard about mak-
ing such volunteer work par-
ties a regular occurrence
over the next few weeks
while Alert is in dry dock.
Crew members already are
scheduled to work at the
cemetery again Wednesday.
The parks department had to
cancel a volunteer CHIP-In
program this year in an effort
to cut costs, but was able to
provide the equipment from
that program to the Coast
Guard crew this week.
Cosby said she has heard
from a number of people
interested in volunteering,
and says dedicated crews
like the one from the Alert
are very much needed. She
has not heard anything fur-
ther from the Warrenton
City Commission.
Commissioner
Mark
Baldwin, who introduced
the topic of cemetery main-
tenance at a recent commis-
sion meeting, said he has
continued to hear from peo-
ple about the condition of
Ocean View’s grounds.
At the City Commission
level, “we are already deal-
ing with properties that our
taxpayers and homeown-
ers aren’t taking care of,”
he said. In such cases, the
city has issued warnings and
citations at problem proper-
ties and even moved toward
more drastic measures to
bring property owners into
compliance.
“The cemetery falls
under that same heading as
far as I’m concerned,” he
said.
Mushen: ‘It’s about the
Port moving forward’
Continued from Page 1A
“I can’t take a chance on
having that health problem
happening again,” Mushen
said.
“It’s a sad decision, but it’s
really the only one I can come
to,” he added. “It’s not about
me. It’s about the Port moving
forward.”
Mushen said his doctors
found no signs of a stroke,
but that his personality would
not allow him to take it easy
and avoid another potential
episode.
Mushen served as the
commission’s president at
a time when the panel was
divided 3-2, so he often had to
referee contentious debates.
Commissioner Bill Hunsinger
and former Commissioner
Stephen Fulton were critical
of both fellow commission-
ers and Port management, but
found themselves on the los-
ing end of several votes.
Earlier this month, com-
missioners selected Frank
Spence, who was elected in
May, as president. Mushen
was named secretary.
A retired eye surgeon,
Mushen moved to Can-
non Beach from Seattle
17 years ago. Before join-
ing the Port Commission,
he was appointed to replace
Ann Samuelson on the Clat-
sop County Commission
in late 2009, serving until
replaced by Debra Birkby
in January 2011. He has
served on the boards of the
Seaside Chamber of Com-
merce and Clatsop Commu-
nity Action, and on the Clat-
sop County Health Services
Advisory Council, Friends of
the Regional Food Bank and
Cannon Beach Emergency
Preparedness Committee.

Inn at the Prom is one of three Seaside properties owned by Antoine Simmons and his wife, Rocio.
Seaside: Sale will be completed by September
Continued from Page 1A
Neighbors object
Simmons and his wife,
Rocio, own and operate four
boutique hotels in Seaside and
Cannon Beach.
Plans for the Pearl of Sea-
side called for three stories,
a penthouse floor and tower
roof.
A two-level parking garage
on Beach Drive with 41 inside
spaces would have been sup-
plemented with an additional
10 outdoor spaces on Avenue
A.
But stall lengths, back-
out and lane widths required
a variance from the Planning
Commission. Simmons also
requested a height variance of
7 feet because of grade differ-
ences on various parts of the
property.
After several months
of testimony, the Planning
Commission granted both
variances.
During the 2016 planning
process, neighbors — includ-
ing Dan and Susan Calef
— said the proposed build-
ing would eliminate natural
light, reduce parking spaces
and could “disrupt property
values.”
After a fall appeal was
upheld by City Council, Sim-
mons and architect David
R.J. Marx/The Daily Astorian
The Gilbert Inn will see new ownership in September.
Vonada returned to the Plan-
ning Commission in January
with revised plans, leaving
only the 8-foot grade dif-
ference needed to allow the
increase to 60 feet for the roof
height at the west building
wing, an addition of 15 feet
above the 45 feet allowed by
city zoning. Without a height
variance, the building would
have lost two floors and been
limited to 30 rooms, Simmons
said.
The Planning Commis-
sion’s granting of the vari-
ance was again challenged by
neighbors.
The proposed resort, the
Calefs wrote, “will dwarf our
house, invade our privacy by
placing hotel balconies feet
from our upstairs bedroom
and generally diminish the
value of our property.”
This time, the City Council
upheld the Planning Commis-
sion’s granting of the height
variance.
The Calefs challenged the
decision with the state’s Land
Use Board of Appeals.
September sale date
After the city received
notice of the sale, City Attor-
ney Dan Van Thiel filed a
withdrawal from the state
proceeding in order to sus-
pend any further action on
the appeal, sending the matter
back to the city.
On Monday night, the
council approved the Calef
appeal “based on a finding of
no further contest.”
Councilors Seth Morrisey,
Tita Montero, Randy Frank
and Dana Phillips, along with
Mayor Jay Barber, voted
in favor of the revised final
order. Councilors Tom Horn-
ing and Steve Wright recused
themselves.
“We felt that the proposed
hotel was simply too big and
we are pleased that the plan
has been withdrawn,” Calef
said in an email after the meet-
ing. “We wish Mr. Simmons
good luck with his future
endeavors and appreciate the
civility he has shown through
a process that easily could
have been very acrimonious.”
The identity of the pur-
chaser was not available at
press time.
The sale of the properties
will be completed by Septem-
ber, Simmons said.
His properties in Cannon
Beach, including the Blue
Gull Inn and the Inn at Hay-
stack Rock, are unaffected by
the sale.
“I am now working on
building a 37-unit apartment
complex in Warrenton,” Sim-
mons added.
