‘What do you think is missing from downtown?’
“I can’t think of any-
thing. There’s no car
dealers downtown
any more, but that’s
OK.”
“Parking.”
“I’d say more of a
variety of stores.
It would be nice to
have a little grocery
store, and a general
clothing store like J.C.
Penney’s.”

OBITUARIES
Terry Lynn (Higgins) Carstens
Warrenton
April 28, 1946 — Jan. 23, 2018
Terry Lynn Carstens was born April 28,
1946, in Myrtle Point, Oregon, at Mast Hos-
pital to James and Mildred Higgins.
Terry grew up in Coquille, attending pub-
lic schools and graduating from Coquille
High School in 1964. She attended beauty
school in Coos Bay, Oregon, and after
completing her training she worked in the
Coquille area as a beautician.
She later moved to Ocean Park, Washing-
ton, and worked at a sewing/knitting shop in
Seaside, where she developed many good
friendships. These friends of her singing,
sewing/knitting groups and TOPS expanded
and fulfilled her life.
Terry is survived by her sister, Bon-
nie, and her husband, Pete Christoson; her
brother, John Higgins; her aunt, Margaret,
and her husband, John Haney; and many
nieces, nephews and cousins.
Her parents preceded her in death.
Cremation has taken place, and

Error reignites Oregon
rural dwelling debate
Lawmakers
urged to correct
a mistake
By MATEUSZ
PERKOWSKI
Capital Bureau
SALEM — An uninten-
tional omission from a land
use bill in 2017 has reopened
the debate over accessory
dwelling units in rural areas.
Legislation aimed at eas-
ing Oregon’s affordable hous-
ing crisis, Senate Bill 1051,
was approved by lawmakers
during the tail end of the pre-
vious legislative session.
Under one provision of
that law, ADUs — some-
times called “granny flats” —
can be built in areas zoned for
detached single-family dwell-
ings in cities with more than
2,500 residents and coun-
ties with more than 15,000
residents.
That provision was only
intended to apply within urban
growth boundaries, but that
language was inadvertently
dropped from the text.
Unless the mistake is cor-
rected, the law would allow
such dwellings in rural areas
outside of cities.
Critics of ADUs in rural
areas argue that increasing
such housing would strain
existing groundwater sources,
septic tanks and rural roads.
Lawmakers are now being
urged to pass House Bill 4034,
which would correct the ear-
lier “scrivener’s error,” by lob-
byists from organizations that
don’t often agree on develop-
ment issues: 1000 Friends of
Oregon, a conservation group,
and the Oregon Home Build-
ers Association.
The possibility of legis-
lation aimed specifically at
ADUs in rural areas is being
discussed as part of a separate
work group, said Jon Chan-
dler, CEO of the home build-
ers association, which usually
advocates for relaxing land
Brenna Visser/The Daily Astorian
use restrictions.
While the problem would
seem easily fixed, the situation
is awkward because two law-
makers on the House Agricul-
ture Committee — Rep. Brad
Witt, D-Clatskanie, and Rep.
David Brock Smith, R-Port
Orford — said they weren’t
aware the urban growth
boundary provision was omit-
ted accidentally.
During a hearing Tues-
day before the committee,
Witt said he supported the
earlier legislation because he
wanted to allow more acces-
sory dwellings in rural areas
and would be disappointed to
see the provision changed.
“If you strike a deal, you
ought to let us all know a deal
has been struck,” Witt said,
referring to the urban growth
boundary limitation.
Representatives of the
Association of Oregon Coun-
ties and the Oregon Associ-
ation of Realtors urged law-
makers not to restrict ADUs
to cities.
Jenee Pearce-Mushen accepts leader of the year award from SOLVE representatives

Pearce-Mushen wins SOLVE
leader of the year award
By BRENNA VISSER
The Daily Astorian
CANNON BEACH — Out
of more than 30,000 volunteers
statewide, Cannon Beach local
Jenee Pearce-Mushen received
leader of the year award from
the environmental organization
SOLVE.
Pearce-Mushen was rec-
ognized with the honor at
Tuesday’s Cannon Beach
City Council meeting for her
10 years of service with the
SOLVE, an organization that
facilitates cleanup efforts on
beaches, parks, neighborhoods
and other natural spaces.
SOLVE program man-
ager Joy Hawkins recog-
nized Pearce-Mushen for
leading more than 41 events,
which involved organizing
more than 4,000 volunteers.
Hawkins said the beach cleanup
events she has organized alone
have helped remove 44,000
pounds of debris from Cannon
Beach over the past decade.

“Jenee is always there,
always ready to jump for an
opportunity every time we
reach out to her,” Hawkins
said. “Thank you for always
being ready.”
Pearce-Mushen said she
was honored to accept the
award, but insisted on swiv-
eling the spotlight on the
volunteers.
“This really should be
going to all of them. They are
the ones who make it happen,”
she said.
It’s free to fish, crab or clam in Oregon over
the Presidents Day weekend.
On Feb. 17 and Feb. 18, no fishing licenses
or tags are required. Other restrictions, includ-
ing closures, bag limits and size restrictions, still
apply. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wild-
life provides a weekly recreation report on its
website with information about the best fishing,
crabbing or clamming opportunities. It is updated
each Wednesday.
The state offers eight free fishing days each
year.
