2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, JANUARY 16, 2018 Tsunami resilience study at top New bottle shop, taproom hopes to be beer geek’s choice of Gearhart’s planning goals State would provide grant for safety Will join cluster of boozy businesses on Duane Street By EDWARD STRATTON The Daily Astorian By R.J. MARX The Daily Astorian Downtown Astoria will soon have a new craft beer bottle shop and taproom. Self-described beer geek Dwayne Smallwood, a man- ager at Okie’s Thriftway Market in Ocean Park, Wash- ington, for the past 27 years, is quitting his day job and opening Bridge & Tunnel Bottleshop & Taproom with his wife, Pamela Fox. Smallwood moved to the Northwest from Wiscon- sin 27 years ago to help take care of his grandmother after leaving the military. A week after arriving, he took a job at Okie’s Thriftway Market. “I’ve brewed a few beers of my own, but nothing I’d be proud enough of to go and risk opening a brewery,” Smallwood said. “But I drank so many great beers, that I really just got sick of having to go hunt them down.” The last couple of years have been spent visiting regional brewers and bottle shops while building rela- tionships to get a wider selec- tion of beer on the North Coast, Smallwood said. He GEARHART — As the city’s Planning Commission met last week to discuss goals for the new year, one item rose to the top. By applying for a state Department of Land Con- servation and Development grant, the city could be among the first to develop a coastal resilience plan. The $14,000 grant would be used to evalu- ate the city’s risk to the Casca- dia Subduction Zone tsunami hazard and decide which land use measures to develop and implement to help reduce the city’s risk. These provisions would likely result in changes to the city’s land use ordinance and its comprehensive plan. “Planning with resilience Edward Stratton/The Daily Astorian Dwayne Smallwood is opening Bridge & Tunnel Bot- tleshop & Taproom in downtown Astoria. recently started building out his shop behind closed blinds at 1390 Duane St., inside a former floral shop and next to Creations Studio and Gallery, recently opened by mosaic artist Kai Raden. Smallwood is planning 16 taps and a wall of cool- ers carrying a wide assort- ment of regional and interna- tional beers. Downstairs will be reclaimed wood bars and chrome bar seating, while upstairs will be a lounge he said his wife described as “lumberjack chic.” Bridge & Tunnel will open amid a cluster along Duane Street that includes Pilot House Distilling, Rev- eille Ciderworks, Reach Break Brewing and Fort George Brewery. Astoria has six breweries and a growler shop. Hondo’s Brew & Cork includes a brewer, bottle shop and homebrewing supply store. Bridge & Tunnel will try to stand out by focusing on the harder-to-find brews, Smallwood said. “It’s not what’s great, it’s what’s next,” he said of beer culture. “So I’m going to try and focus on what’s next.” Smallwood hopes to open Bridge & Tunnel by Fort George Brewery’s Festival of the Dark Arts in February.

People in Washington are especially wary of landslides following one in 2014 north of Seattle that swept through a tiny community and across a state road, killing dozens. Experts say the slide could happen as soon as late January or early February above Union Gap, a small agricultural town in the rolling brown foothills of the Cascade Range. A chunk of one ridge about the size of 24 football fields is expected to break off, spilling an estimated 4 million cubic yards of rocks and dirt. Opinions on the impact vary widely, ranging from little damage to widespread flood- ing, especially in Union Gap. Some worry floodwaters will stretch into Yakima, which has 94,000 residents and sits just a few miles away. Also nearby are the Yakima River and Interstate 82, which connects Oregon to PUBLIC MEETINGS Weather (W): s-sunny, pc-partly cloudy, c-cloudy, sh-showers, t-thunderstorms, r-rain, sf-snow fl urries, sn-snow, i-ice.

But with much of the paper- work already prepared by rep- resentatives of the Depart- ment of Land Conservation and Development, objections faded. The information could be used not only in land use plan- ning but in other aspects of emergency preparedness and risk reduction, Connell said. If the grant is awarded, the work may be contracted to a consultant or completed by city staff. “We’ll still have the citizen involvement pro- cess and the adoption pro- cess so that we’re transparent to get all the input we need,” she said. Members of the Planning Commission gave their unan- imous consent to submit the grant proposal. “If we don’t get the award, we don’t get the award,” Con- nell added.

What is now lacking, City Planner Carole Connell said, is data specific to Gearhart. If selected among grant applicants, the city would receive data from state’s Department of Geology and Mineral Industries, includ- ing the “beat the wave” mod- eling and mapping program and damage estimate results for infrastructure, buildings and people in various disaster scenarios. “This gets really into the facts and figures — where do we need to harden services, what we don’t know and where we should be going,” Connell said. “This is taking the next step for a government to come up with a detailed tsunami evacuation facility and improvement plan.
