7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, AUGUST 30, 2018 Warrenton: Site has 50 somewhat flat, buildable acres intended capacity, with more than 800 students expected to start classes next week. In initial meetings about the master campus, school board members have raised concerns about presenting a quality product but keeping the design simple to avoid the sort of cost overruns faced by the Seaside School District in building its new bond-fi- nanced master campus. The school district has also faced questions about why it is not moving the more popu- lous elementary school grades out of the tsunami zone first. A facilities committee recom- mended a 2022 bond to move the high school, and a 2032 bond to move the elementary school. Relocating the middle school first was driven more by what the school district could afford than what it would like to do, Jeffery said. The dis- trict had originally looked at relocating all the schools with one bond, but learned it doesn’t have the property val- ues to put out a bond similar to the $100 million approved by Seaside voters. The hope is that as Warrenton grows over time, the property tax base will expand, lowering the per cap- ita cost of future bonds. If voters approve a bond, the school district will hire an architect to work out the details of a new campus, said Karen Montovino, an archi- tectural consultant. The design process will take about a year, she said, after which construc- tion could take between 15 and 18 months. Continued from Page 1A The site also presents a potentially synergistic devel- opment for Warrenton Fiber, which owns much of the uplands in the area and is developing a new subdivision next door. The school district’s pur- chase of the property would be contingent on voter approval of a $38.5 million bond in November. The bond would also fund the construction of a new middle school as the first phase of a K-12 campus. The district looked at three sites for a new campus. One was on county-owned, industrial-zoned land in the North Coast Business Park. Another was on agriculturally zoned land owned by Warren- ton Fiber along U.S. Highway 101 Business near Trails End Recovery, in an area known as Airport Hill. While the prop- erty on Airport Hill would have been cheaper, it faced several hurdles because it is just outside district and city limits, Jeffery said. “Oregon’s land use laws are designed to prevent us from doing what we were looking to do out at Airport Hill out- side the urban growth bound- ary,” Jeffery said. “That urban growth boundary, there’s a rea- son for that. We would have had to prove that we couldn’t build anywhere else.” The Warrenton Fiber site near Dolphin Avenue pres- ents the school district with 50 somewhat flat, buildable acres significantly above sea level, in a high-density zone suitable Colin Murphey/The Daily Astorian Superintendent Mark Jeffery speaks to teachers on their lunch break at Warrenton Grade School, which school district officials say will be 40 percent over capacity this year. for a school campus and near utilities, Jeffery said. The site is also close to law enforce- ment, with the Clatsop County Sheriff’s Office to the north and the Oregon State Police to the west. Just east of Warrenton’s proposed master campus, con- tractors for Warrenton Fiber are laying out the design for the first phase of a new 74-home subdivision called The subdivision will also likely provide a necessary sec- ond access point to the cam- pus and a connection to Dol- phin Avenue, Jeffery said. The area around the cam- pus represents one of the few industrially zoned, develop- able areas in Warrenton out of the tsunami zone, Nygaard said. “We are getting kind of a business park feel on the front Roosevelt. The company hopes to break ground in the fall on the first phase, which includes about 30 homes, said John M. Nygaard, a member of the company’s leadership. Once the layout of Roos- evelt is approved, construction can start on the new S.E. Bugle Avenue from 19th Street, between the former youth jail and the sheriff’s office head- quarters, south to Roosevelt. of Dolphin,” he said. While it prepares to nego- tiate the property purchase, the school district recently began meeting with staff and the school board to start plan- ning what the new campus will look like. The initial mid- dle school would be designed for 260 students to allevi- ate overcrowding at Warren- ton Grade School. The cam- pus is about 40 percent over its Smith: Alert, Steadfast will be decommissioned if new cutters arrive Continued from Page 1A A: The biggest challenge is the distance — 400-some odd miles of coastline, 420- some odd miles of river from here all the way to Lewiston, Idaho. Area of response goes up to Grays Harbor, goes down to Coos Bay. Just that volume of work and all the activity that has to go, that’s associated with that is run out of here or Portland. So just keeping track of everything, understanding where our people are at and what they’re doing, knowing where the folks are at — that’s the biggest challenge. Q: What are some of the top items on your agenda as far as personnel or opera- tional policy? A: I just want to make sure that the sector is positioned to support the district and to sup- port the community. And then I want to make sure the folks here in the sector have the resources that they need to be comfortable in the community, so they’re not worried about their families or things in their home life, so when they come to work they’re focused on what they need to do that day and not worried about other things that are going on at home. So be that housing, medical care, ensuring that pay is commen- surate with the cost of living for the area, and just making sure they have resources they need so that they can do their job. Q: There’s been kind of a baby boom in the local Coast Guard recently, a lot of families having children. Is there any- thing that you think needs to be done to accommodate that extra load on their lives? A: So one thing that I’ve heard a lot about is child care — be that in-home child care for folks that want that or pre- school or day care. I’ve gotten a lot of informal feedback that the community may not have those resources readily avail- able for people. I’m starting to, kind of, look at that and think maybe there’s an opportunity there for improvement. Q: And, kind of in that same basket, housing is an issue in the area in general.

They’re looking at, “Where do we want to put cutters across the entire enterprise?” And they also look at the change in threats — bor- der security, drug smuggling, arctic security — where are our cutters best positioned to meet the strategic needs of the ser- vice and the nation. So, we’ll see what happens in the grand scheme of things. Q: You mean as far as the Steadfast and the Alert go? A: Just, in general. Across SCHEDULE THE DAILY ASTORIAN A years, two cutters are going to be stationed in Astoria. What do you think needs to be done to accommodate probably close to 200 families coming to the area? A: I think that it’s got to look at a couple different things. Housing obviously is the first and foremost. The number of cutters isn’t necessarily deter- mined. Also, if new cutters do arrive, the 210s — the Alert and the Steadfast — are going to be decommissioned, so it’ll be leaving the area. So there’s a little bit of an offset there. When, exactly, all that occurs is still up to the decision-mak- ers. I know the Coast Guard at the higher levels is looking at where they home port cutters. the Coast Guard, we’re mov- ing cutters around. I can think of an example on the Gulf Coast where they’ve moved home ports of cutters because of changes in the economy, the fishing fleet. They moved ports from one place to another, a place to follow the fish, so eventually the Coast Guard moved the cutters because they’re closer to the fishing community. So things like that will drive decisions on where folks live. I don’t — Astoria in particular — I don’t know that there’s any firm decision on where cutters are going to go. Like you said, two is kind of the number that has been thrown around. We’ll see what happens.
