7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 22, 2018 Port: Fishermens Wharf seeks a 50-year lease of about 100 acres Continued from Page 1A The East Mooring Basin, including a causeway running to an Army Corps of Engi- neers breakwater protecting the marina, was built in the 1940s as a postwar employ- ment project. Designed to hold around 1,000 slips, the marina is largely empty except for several commercial boats and a seasonal crowd of sea lions following fish runs. The Port has failed at various efforts to evict the sea lions and does not have the money to signifi- cantly develop the marina. Fishermens Wharf has pro- posed expanding the marina to the east of the causeway while building floating single-fam- ily homes to the west, similar to development found in Sau- salito, California. The com- pany seeks a 50-year lease of about 100 acres. The floating homes would provide additional housing, while expanding moorage would help ease the long wait- list at the Port’s West Mooring Basin, Sernande said. A second phase of the company’s vision would develop a cruise ship dock along the breakwater. “What we really want to do is create an inviting riverwalk to connect the east end moor- ing basin to the downtown area,” Sernande said. Commissioner Bill Hunsinger has repeatedly raised concerns about the cash- strapped Port ceding control to Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian A redevelopment project could transform the East Mooring Basin in Astoria. work with private entities to develop its languishing prop- erties. He has, for example, objected to the agency exiting its lease at the North Tongue Point industrial dock early to allow boatbuilder Hyak Mari- time to develop a vessel fabri- cation and repair center. The public has shared many concerns with him about what the project at the East Mooring Basin would do to parking, traffic, a boat ramp for recreational fishermen, the longshoremen-handled cruise ship business on Pier 1 and any agreements the Port has with the Army Corps regarding its breakwater, he said. “What money does the Port of Astoria get in this pub- lic-private partnership with these guys?” Hunsinger asked. “What kind of money does the Port retain for the property that we own up there?” Other Port commissioners, while agreeing with Hunsing- er’s concerns, said the Port is just at the starting point with Fishermens Wharf. Commis- sioners Robert Stevens and Dirk Rohne both lauded the ability of private enterprise and government to work together for the public’s benefit. “If as a governmental body we can facilitate good things that benefit the community, I would be for it,” Stevens said. The East Mooring Basin is subject to building and height restrictions in the Civic Gre- enway portion of the River- front Vision Plan between 16th to 39th streets. The Port can get exceptions if the agency presents a master plan that is approved by the Astoria City Council. The intent is to develop a solution that meets the needs of the Port, the city and Fish- ermens Wharf’s investors, but the company needs to begin due diligence and flesh out what’s feasible, Sernande said. The Port still needs to work on a lease agreement with Fish- ermens Wharf, along with a master plan for the region that addresses all the issues raised and improves the East Moor- ing Basin, said Jim Knight, the Port’s executive director. “This is the very first step,” he said. Column: Thick haze of smoke limited views from the attraction Continued from Page 1A blocked off several parking spaces to allow for production. The shoot was one of a few that have taken place in the county recently, including movies filmed at the historic Flavel House in Asto- ria and Coffenbury Lake at Fort Ste- vens State Park. Throughout the years, films such as “The Goonies,” “Kinder- garten Cop,” “Free Willy” and “The Ring 2” have used the county’s scen- ery as backdrops. Kate Karna, a film student at Port- land State University, served ice cream for Column visitors Tuesday at the Frite & Scoop mobile cart. “They’re doing pretty good,” she said. “It’s a great way to bring people in to the area.” Potentially not as good, how- ever, was the weather. A thick haze of smoke from wildfires throughout the Pacific Northwest covered the city, limiting views from the Column. The views were perfect a few weeks ago when a location scout scoped the area, but changing circumstances are not unusual for production crews. “I think they’re worried, but I think at the end of the day they know things can change and they have to roll with the punches,” Karna said. Smoky condi- tions persist over Astoria as a crew member waits for a pho- tography shoot to begin.
