Third Cannon Beach
Eclipse traffi c already
pot store seeks approval heavy in central Oregon
Tolovana shop
is slowed by
design review
By BRENNA VISSER
The Daily Astorian
CANNON BEACH —
Progress will be stalled for a
marijuana retailer looking to
set up shop in Tolovana.
On Thursday night, the
city’s D esign R eview B oard
decided to issue a continuance
to allow the applicant, Daryl
Bell, more time to elaborate
on and amend major exterior
design modifi cations at 3115
S. Hemlock St.
If approved, this would be
the third retail marijuana shop
to come to Cannon Beach.
Nancy Benson, the project
manager from Grace Design
and Landscaping LLC, repre-
sented Bell at the meeting and
described their goal for the
business as “high end.”
Bell, who has spent the
last couple of years building
out dispensaries for clients, is
expanding his career in can-
nabis on the coast to places
like Rockaway Beach, Pacifi c
City and, hopefully, Cannon
Beach, Benson said. Bell’s
pitch for a marijuana shop at
a condominium complex near
Pier 39 in Astoria was rejected
by the Astoria City Council
last year.
“This is going to be a very
nice place. Our goal as a com-
pany is to make it look nice,”
Benson said of the Cannon
Beach store.
But before moving for-
ward, Bell and his team must
address parking issues iden-
tifi ed by the city. As plans
stands now, parking spaces
are drawn onto the city’s right
of way, C ity P lanner Mark
Barnes said.
“The problem here is these
are private spaces half in the
public sphere,” Barnes said.
Bell will have to work with
public works to fi nd differ-
ent solutions before the next
D esign R eview B oard meet-
ing Sept. 21 in order to secure
approval.
More abstractly, board
members took issue with the
lack of detail in the applica-
tion. Bell provided plans to
paint the building and mod-
ify windows, along with gen-
eral landscaping ideas, but the
board wasn’t satisfi ed without
seeing a full mock up. Barnes
also noted the lack of discus-
sion concerning meeting ven-
tilation and signa ge require-
ments in the proposal.
“We look at actual samples
of paints and facade,” board
member Sandi Lundy said.
“It’s just a matter of us being
able to physically see the
changes you are suggesting.”
Some neighbors took issue
with the vague nature of the
design plans, including Steve
Crane, the property advise r of
Lodges at Cannon Beach next
door. In written testimony sent
to the city, he thought more
needed to be done to help
rehabilitate a structure that has
been sitting vacant for years.
Just repainting the build-
ing, Crane wrote, “ is like put-
ting lipstick on a pig. ” .
Escape Lodgings Presi-
dent Patrick Nofi eld leases
space from a modular unit
connected to the property,
and asked board members to
wait on approval before issues
like adequate parking and
more thorough designs were
presented.
One of his concerns was
making sure this property was
“architecturally compatible”
with the rest of Tolovana.
“I’ve leased space for 10
years, and I know that build-
ing needs help,” Nofi eld said.
“It needs more work than what
this plan is showing.”
Kiki Meletis is a co-trustee
of Demetrios Meletis Living
Trust, which owns the prop-
erty, and said having the new
business move in was a great
way to “revitalize the property
in a timely way.”
Benson said she and Bell
are happy to work with the
city to make sure the business
fi ts with the community.
“This is a community
thing, so I want community
input,” Benson said.
Backed up on
Highway 26

PORTLAND — Traffi c is
already a headache in central
Oregon as thousands of peo-
ple arrive before Monday’s
total solar eclipse.
Traffi c was backed up
about 15 miles at one point on
Thursday on U.S. Highway
26 near Prineville, the last
town before the turnoff for an
eclipse-themed festival that’s
expected to attract 35,000
people in a remote area with
narrow, one-lane roads. Driv-
ers then had to contend with
another 14 miles of traffi c on
local roads to the venue.
A handful of gas stations
in Bend and Prineville also
ran out of fuel Wednesday
before getting restocked.
The scene echoed one
on Wednesday night, when
eclipse traffi c fi rst began to
swell. Traffi c backed up for
