5A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2018 Hollander Hospitality The Design Review Committee has rejected a second design for a new waterfront hotel. Hotel: ‘There is such an overwhelming outcry with all the same issue which is scale’ Photos by Edward Stratton/The Daily Astorian Yes For Astoria Kids, a political action committee created to support the school district’s $70 million bond, has put out signs, posters, social media posts and videos. School bond: ‘They laid out a path to victory’ Continued from Page 1A Construction, co-owned by Warrenton-Hammond School Board member Greg Morrill. It has also received a contri- bution from the Oregon Asso- ciation of Realtors, which has donated to both campaigns, and expects to receive dona- tions from school district employee groups. Debbie Morrow, Warren- ton-Hammond School Board chairwoman and director of the school district’s PAC, said Warrenton’s campaign never planned on raising more than $10,000 and is trying to remain low-key. “We know our parents,” she said. “We’re reaching out to our parents in a way that resonates with Warrenton.” Both campaigns have been advised by Jeremy Wright of Wright Public Affairs, a firm specializing in bond cam- paigns. David Oser, director of the Astoria PAC, said Wright set the budget. “They laid out a path to vic- tory,” Oser said. “It is really based on the size, the number of household voters, how many you have to reach.” While the Astoria campaign retained Wright’s services, he provided some pro bono advice to Warrenton on messaging. “It sounds like they’re taking a more grassroots approach,” he said.

While raising money in school bonds is important, Wright said the ones that pass are when voters understand the need and can afford the tax increase. “You win these things by having a two-way conversation with voters,” he said. Astoria’s bond would pay for $45 million in moderniza- tion and security improvements at Astoria Middle School, $20 million at Astoria High School and $9 million at John Jacob Astor Elementary School. Lewis and Clark Elementary School and Capt. Robert Gray School would receive smaller improvements. Astoria voters last approved $21.4 million in bonds in 2000 to build Lewis and Clark and improve the high school. The bonds have decreased in cost through refinancing and increases in property values, and are now estimated to cost $1.83 per $1,000 of assessed value. The new bonds would begin after the older ones expire in 2020, raising taxes to $2.83 per $1,000 of assessed property value. Warrenton’s $38.5 million bond would fund the purchase of a new master campus out of the flood plain and tsunami inundation zone, while building a new middle school to relieve crowding at Warrenton Grade School. It would raise property taxes by an estimated $2.03 per $1,000 of assessed value. Warrenton’s bond would be the first of three over the next 14 years to move all the dis- trict’s schools to higher ground. School leaders hope Warren- ton’s increasing population and home prices will gradually lower the per capita tax burden on voters over time. Morrow sees the Warren- ton bond as an easier sell, between the visible overcrowd- ing and the tsunami dangers. As a regional center of affordable housing, Warrenton grew from 4,100 people in 2000 to nearly 5,400 people last year, accord- ing to Portland State University researchers, and is expected to add another 2,000 residents by 2035. Warrenton Grade School reached more than 800 stu- dents this year, one of the five most-populous K-8 campuses in the state, and has required six portable trailers to help house students. “I think anyone that knows our school district and how well we’ve managed the school facilities, with the growth that Warrenton has had and will continue to have, Warren- ton absolutely needs a new school,” Morrow said. Still, Morrow has spo- ken with people who sup- port moving schools to higher ground but will not back the bond because they are on fixed incomes and cannot afford any tax increase. “That’s why we’re going for the smaller bonds and phased approach,” she said. “We couldn’t morally go out for a bond that our residents could not afford.” ing or denying the project. A report laid out a number of issues and conditions and asked the committee to inter- pret city code and decide whether the project met the city’s criteria. City staff disagreed about whether a section of the code that addresses the scale of a building should apply to Hol- lander’s project, City Man- ager Brett Estes explained. While planning staff believe the code applies to new con- struction in this case, City Attorney Blair Hennings- gaard said the code could be interpreted to apply only to modifications to existing buildings. Since Hollander no longer plans to incorporate the old Ship Inn restaurant with the new hotel, Hennings- gaard argued questions about scale may not apply. But, Bardy said, “I just feel that these seats, our roles, are not only to enforce the code but also to represent the community and there is such an overwhelming outcry with all the same issue which is scale. I don’t think we should ignore that.” Continued from Page 1A for two years, I’ve got a lot of people who are interested in this happening. They don’t necessarily show up at these meetings, no, but I think there are a lot of people who are in support of this project, too, that just aren’t here.” He said the hotel will be a positive contribution to Astoria. Committee member Leanne Hensley initially agreed with Bardy and Phelps. She said the fourth floor seemed to be an issue and wondered if there was a way to redesign it. Later, Hensley said she didn’t see any reason, looking at criteria listed in the staff report, why the design should be denied. She said it was clear the developers had put a lot of time and research into their proposal. She and Jared Rickenbach, the com- mittee president, voted in favor. Rickenbach was the only committee member who approved of the first design back in the summer.
