Seaside resident fights campus relocation
Schools moving
out of tsunami
inundation zone
‘They did not look at
expanding the school on
two sites instead of just
one. When you do that, you
have the potential of saving
almost over $50 million for
the price of the schools.’
By R.J. MARX
The Daily Astorian
SEASIDE — The Sea-
side School District rammed
through plans for a new
school campus without ade-
quately considering alterna-
tive proposals, a resident said
in a legal challenge submitted
to the state Land Use Board of
Appeals Monday.
Money saved from an
alternate plan could be used to
provide upgrades to the city’s
bridges, John Dunzer said.
“I’d like to see the money
that would be saved for the
schools would be spent build-
ing bridges so the kids could
be safe for the 71 percent of
the time that they are not in
school.”
In November, the county
Board of Commissioners
adopted an ordinance amend-
ing the county’s comprehen-
sive plan expanding Seaside’s
urban growth boundary to
accommodate a new campus.
At that meeting, the commis-
sion declined to accept Dun-
zer’s submission as the record
was closed.
A longtime critic of the plan
to relocate Seaside’s endan-

gered schools out of the tsu-
nami inundation zone, Dunzer
said county approval of the
school district’s plan violates
state planning rules requiring
local government to look at
all options within the existing
boundaries before expansion
of those boundaries.
Tom Bennett, the county’s
community relations coordi-
nator, said the county had not
received the appeal.
Two sites proposed
By voting to recommend
approval of the school dis-
trict’s request for an expansion
of the urban growth boundary,
the county paved the way for
rezoning 40 acres of the prop-
erty and annexing an addi-
tional 49-acre portion of the
property located at Seaside
Heights Elementary School.
Dunzer said he thinks the
relocation — at a cost of more
than $100 million, to be paid
by voters after passage of a
2015 bond — is unnecessary.
“They did not look at
expanding the school on two
sites instead of just one,” Dun-
zer said. “When you do that,
you have the potential of sav-
ing almost over $50 million

Mainly clear
for the price of the schools.
Because it is possible and
quite feasible to build a junior
high school right above Sea-
side Heights Elementary
School.”
Dunzer claims in his appeal
that the existing Seaside
Heights Elementary School
site could be used as the site of
a new middle school, resulting
in a “more tolerable impact on
the entire east side of Seaside.”
Project moves forward
School district officials
have refuted Dunzer’s com-
ments in the past, stating that
change in September, Sea-
side officials said their rec-
ommendation was “based on
the assumption that the pub-
lic hearing did not reveal any
well-substantiated reason to
consider modifying the dis-
trict’s plans.”
The school district said in
a response to Dunzer’s com-
ments at the time that Dunzer
“rarely cites applicable review
criteria” and failed to explain
why the errors he believes
occurred are relevant to
whether such criteria are met.
Many facts are misstated, they
wrote, and represent a “lack of
technical knowledge.”
An October project update
reported the district is mov-
ing ahead with a focus on site
analysis, including ground
tests and surveying, before
construction is slated to begin
next spring.

the new campus plan is the
only way to provide a safe
environment for students,
moving out of aging, unrein-
forced buildings — Broadway
Middle School, Gearhart Ele-
mentary School and Seaside
High School — to seismically
resilient buildings on higher
ground.
At an August meeting,
school district consultant Greg
Winterowd of Winterbrook
Planning said the school’s
request addresses relevant cri-
teria of statewide planning
goals, the Seaside compre-
hensive plan and the Clatsop
County comprehensive plan.
The proposed location is
the only site that meets all
seven city criteria, Winterowd
said, and the only site with
access to a major collector
street, South Wahanna Road.
