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

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.
