2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, AUGUST 7, 2018 Astoria discusses sale of County to reimburse gillnetters Mill Pond Village lots The Daily Astorian Difficult to develop By KATIE FRANKOWICZ The Daily Astorian Astoria leaders are look- ing again at selling overwater property the city can’t afford to develop and has struggled to sell. City councilors voted Monday to have staff hire a real estate agent to list 12 city- owned lots in Mill Pond Vil- lage, which are located over the pond. Mayor Arline LaMear and City Councilor Cindy Price voted against the proposal, preferring instead to talk first with adjacent Mill Pond prop- erty owners and the home- owners association to gauge any interest in purchasing the lots. While City Councilor Zetty Nemlowill said she could sup- port that option as well, she felt the city would miss a big opportunity by not giving out- side buyers a chance to pur- chase the lots. Councilors Bruce Jones and Tom Brown- son voted with Nemlowill to bring on a real estate agent and list the properties. The city has paid more than $50,000 in homeown- ers association fees and other expenses since Mill Pond developer Art DeMuro Clatsop County will soon offer $500,000 in funding for local gillnetters affected by state regulations. The state adopted a plan to phase out gillnetting on the Columbia River’s main stem that required fishermen to either move to off-channel sites or She believes it would be difficult, if not impossible, for a developer to follow the association’s architectural guidelines when building homes on the pier lots. The association itself is interested in preserving views across the pond. “We’re interested in just how to get rid of this issue,” Storey said. The association wants a “win-win” on both sides, she added, saying it doesn’t make sense for the city to continue paying asso- ciation fees. “Make us an offer,” Nem- lowill suggested. In other business, the City Council: • Finalized an agreement with a group in Alderbrook to take over maintenance and care of Birch Field. City coun- cilors had considered selling the underused ball field last year, but neighbors rallied in protest. They proposed caring for the park themselves and have since kept up on main- tenance, made improvements and held community events. • Heard a presentation from Craig Hoppes, superin- tendent of the Astoria School District, about a proposed $70 million bond to mod- ernize the district’s five cam- puses. The bond will go to voters in November. The city councilors voiced their sup- port of the school district’s efforts. donated the properties to the city in 2012, City Manager Brett Estes said. DeMuro, who has since died, hoped the lots would fund development of Heritage Square, a city block in the center of down- town. The square is home to a city triumph, the Garden of Surging Waves, and another city dilemma: a large, open pit where a concrete pad caved in after heavy rains in 2010. The city last listed the Mill Pond lots in 2013 as part of a program to sell excess prop- erties and didn’t receive any offers. Since the lots are based overwater, they are tricky — and expensive — to develop. Any developer looking to build on the lots would need to construct piers first, an undertaking that could cost more than $3 million per pier, according to some estimates. “Individual construction of homes, as is done on the land portion of Mill Pond Vil- lage, would be unlikely since the entire pier would have to be built prior to the first unit,” noted Mike Morgan, a con- tract planner for the city, in a memo to the City Council. The lots are just as much a dilemma to the homeowners association. “We don’t know what to do with them either,” Cheryl Sto- rey, president of the of the Mill Pond Village Owners Associa- tion, told the City Council.
