2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 2017 What are you doing to beat the heat? “Normally we put our chairs in the river and sit in them. But since we’re here, we went for a walk.” “Staying inside. I live in a basement so it’s nice and cool. And having ice cream.” “Drinking lots of water. Trying to fi nd a shady spot outside. Keeping my house cold by keep- ing my blinds closed during the day. Once the sun goes down, opening the windows and turning on the fans.” Cathy Batchelor, Chehalis, Washington THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK Devin Carmichael, Astoria Neal Davis, Astoria Astoria Warming Center decision delayed Good neighbor agreement under review By KATIE FRANKOWICZ The Daily Astorian Joshua Bessex/The Daily Astorian The warming center at First United Methodist Church is trying to address neighborhood concerns and obtain a city permit.

Many of the complaints have to do with last year’s operations, said Astoria Warming Center Board Presi- dent Dan Parkison. The warm- ing center’s board, after some community outreach , has pro- posed a number of changes to their operation to address neighborhood concerns. The center did not do a good job of listening to the community before, he said, a misstep the board is trying to correct. The warming center now operates a booth at the Asto- ria Sunday Market to answer questions or fi eld complaints, and, in its application to the Planning Commission, out- lined a number of ways the center plans to or has already addressed neighborhood con- cerns. Parkison said issues that came out of last week’s public testimony, such as the revelation that people were camping in their cars in the church parking lot and being disruptive to a nearby bed- and-breakfast , will further inform how the board man- ages the center this winter. “This is a conditional use permit going forward, after we listened to the neighbor- hood,” he said. Dulcye Taylor, president of the downtown association, said she thinks the neighbors, the association and the center can come to an agreement. “A meeting that didn’t happen the fi rst time, could happen the second time,” she said.

The warming center will now have until Sept. 6 to meet with neighbors and the Astoria Downtown Historic District Association and craft a “good neighbor” agreement that out- lines how the center would address a variety of concerns about how it operates and the people it welcomes. The Astoria Planning Commission decided Tuesday night to continue deliberating on the warming center’s appli- cation for a one-year condi- tional use permit at a special meeting in September follow- ing a discussion between City Manager Brett Estes, warm- ing center board members and downtown association board members. Under this proposal, the good neighbor agreement would inform the Planning C ommission’s decision; it would not be a condition of approval. The commission- ers had been concerned that by requiring a good neigh- bor agreement as a condition of approval, they were putting veto power of the warming center’s application into the hands of the downtown asso- ciation if the groups could not come to an agreement. If the groups are unable to come up with a good neighbor agreement before the Sept. 6 meeting, the Planning Com- mission will make its deci- sion based on the informa- tion already provided by city staff and by the community at a public hearing in July . Commissioners Daryl Moore and Kent Easom have both indicated they will likely vote to deny the application — they voted against continu- ing deliberations to Septem- ber . They said that while they support the mission of the warming center, the neighbor- hood on Franklin Avenue is not the right location. Com- missioner Sean Fitzpatrick was not present at Tuesday’s meeting, but has recused him- self from discussions in the past and submitted testimony against the center, saying it threatens the safety and liv- ability of the neighborhood. He is one of the owners of the Illahee Apartments across the street from the First United Methodist Church. The rest of the commission — David Pearson, Jan Mitch- ell, Jennifer Cameron-Lattek and Brookley Henri — all say they are “leaning on the side of approval.” They voted in favor of waiting until Septem- ber to make a fi nal decision on the conditional use permit.
