7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, JUNE 26, 2018 Tolls: Final version of recommendation scheduled for July Continued from Page 1A Paris Achen/Capital Bureau Emma Sager, standing, of Portland-based consulting firm EnviroIssues, waits to write feedback from members of a Portland-area tolling policy advisory committee on a draft recommendation for tolls on Interstate 5 and Interstate 205. Representatives for environmental and trucking interests clashed over whether the pilot should include raising revenue to build another lane on I-205. Environmen- tal representatives want to encourage transit, carpooling and other alternative modes of trans- portation to decrease demand on the roadways rather than increase space for more vehicles. Jana Jarvis of the Oregon Trucking Asso- ciation said she would support a plan only if it included raising revenue for additional lanes. “Congestion” or “value pricing” refers to the practice of changing the toll price for a freeway or a lane based on how much congestion is on the roadway during that time. During the rush-hour periods, the price would be higher, and at some times at night, there might be no cost to use the same road. A $5.3 billion transportation-funding bill passed last year requires the state transportation commission to consider tolling in the Portland metro area but does not mandate it. A final version of the recommendation is scheduled to be presented to the Oregon Trans- portation Commission in July. Transportation commissioners have until December to send a proposal to the Federal Highway Administration, which would need to approve any plan. It would take several years to implement the tolling plan, according to state transportation officials. The Capital Bureau is a collaboration between EO Media Group and Pamplin Media Group. Hotel: ‘When you build on the river you build in the front yard of every home on the hill’ Continued from Page 1A Sam Mullen, a representa- tive from Hollander Hospital- ity, said he doesn’t know what steps the company will take next, but will have a better sense by the July meetings. “It’s tough to say, but my gut says we’ll start looking at other plans,” Mullen said. He believes there is flexibility to change the way the proposed hotel looks. On Monday, crit- ics called the hotel generic and ugly, a box and, more specifically, a cigar box. “This was pretty far down a path,” he said of the appli- cations under review Monday. But the project received valu- able feedback, he added. The Design Review Com- mittee meeting was standing room only and 16 people tes- tified against the project, none testified in favor of it. The committee voted 4-1 to deny the hotel applica- tion. They said they were not against a hotel at the location — hotels are permitted out- right in the zoning that exists in the area — but they worried about blocked views, how the new building mashed up with the old Ship Inn, and issues such as parking and housing for employees. People who testified against the project echoed these same concerns. Views of the Columbia River aren’t just for tourists, said Sarah Jane Bardy, who serves on the committee. “When you build on the river you build in the front yard of every home on the hill,” she said. A smaller building could be a better fit, she added. She noted that stepbacks the developers employed to be allowed to build a taller building within the Bridge Vista overlay the city estab- lished to guide development in the area — literally step- ping back portions of the building to open up views and avoid a flat appearance — were misleading and didn’t actually step back. “I think you can do better and I think we deserve bet- ter,” Bardy said. She also criticized how Stephanie’s Cabin, a for- mer restaurant on neighbor- ing property also purchased by Hollander Hospitality, has fallen into disarray. A chain link fence surrounds the building and weeds have grown up on the grounds. “It looks abandoned because it is abandoned,” Bardy said. After the meeting, Mullen said the company hoped to open a brewery at the former restaurant and had reached out to local brewers. No one is committed to the space yet. The Historic Landmarks Commission voted unani- mously to deny the hotel’s application, saying the build- ing is too large for the loca- tion and that the design doesn’t fit with either the Ship Inn or historic buildings developers referenced in their application. Several commissioners noted that once a structure like the hotel goes in, it could open up the riverfront to sim- ilar development. Already, large hotels are present at the far west and east ends of Astoria, they said. Craig Riegelnegg with Carleton Hart Architecture, the firm designing the hotel for Hollander Hospitality, said they looked at other buildings in Astoria, including historic waterfront structures, when designing the hotel. But both city boards and critics said they couldn’t see how historic elements and Astoria archi- tecture were reflected in the final design. “This building could be located anywhere,” said Loretta Maxwell, owner of the Grandview Bed & Breakfast.
