8A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 2018 Port: Hopes a public-private partnership can help provide funds tenants. Everyone seems to be afraid to make a ripple in the water.” The state has offered to detail the most critical repairs needed to reopen the cause- way to at least foot traffic, said Jim Knight, the Port’s exec- utive director. But the Port is perpetually low on money and loathe to throw more at the fail- ing causeway, which staff esti- mates will take $4 million to completely overhaul. Continued from Page 1A Vehicle traffic on the cause- way has been closed for sev- eral years. The Port closed it to pedestrians after dire warnings from the state bridge engineer, Bruce Johnson, that inspectors found significant rot in many of the timbers holding the struc- ture up. Some of the problems stem from the untreated tim- bers Port staff used to repair the causeway several years ago — repairs Johnson said are already rotting. Densmore hauled out at the East Mooring Basin in the 1970s and has been there con- tinuously since 1996. “I’ve paid more than $60,000 in moorage since bringing my boat down from Alaska,” Densmore said. “It all goes into the general fund and elsewhere. They’ve known there was a problem here for years and it hasn’t been fixed.” Vessels relocated The marina was home to about 20 vessels generating an estimated $40,000 a year in revenue before the causeway’s closure. Staff have relocated Private partner Edward Stratton/The Daily Astorian Dave Densmore, left, and Renee Ruscoe have been using a skiff to reach the boat they live on in the East Mooring Basin. five vessels to the West Moor- ing Basin, where the Port has reported a waiting list of more than 100 boats trying to get in. Ruscoe and Densmore plan to stay at the East Mooring Basin as long as the Port keeps the power on. They are also encouraging other boat own- ers not to leave, worried the diminishing fishing presence at the marina could be blotted out entirely. Steve Hammond, owner of the tuna boat Charlotte B, lives in Shelton, Washington, and has moored at the East Mooring Basin since 2002. He was called the morning before Thanksgiv- ing about the closure. Hammond has been try- ing to sell his boat, but said it’s difficult getting buyers out to the docks for viewing. He has looked at moving his vessel to Westport, Washington, but said most of his business is in Oregon. Nearby marinas want sig- nificantly more money than what Hammond pays the Port, he said. “I think that’s pretty illegal, barring access to a boat you pay moorage for,” Hammond said. “I have talked to some other The Port is hoping a pub- lic-private partnership can help provide the money to improve the causeway and revitalize the East Mooring Basin. The marina was originally built as part of a post-World War II employment program to add moorage on the lower Colum- bia, with plans for upward of 1,000 slips. Floyd Holcom, the owner of the Pier 39 commercial waterfront complex next to the East Mooring Basin, has long looked to build a private marina. He and architect Nik Sernande recently approached the Port about leasing the entire basin under Fishermens Wharf — Astoria. The company wants to expand the marina slips and develop floating homes, retail and eventually a cruise ship ter- minal along the jetty, owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The company is still devel- oping a master plan, but wants to work with the Port to fix the causeway in the interim, Ser- nande said. The East Mooring Basin was recently included in a fed- eral opportunity zone meant for attracting investment from stashed capital gains. It was also recently added to the Clat- sop Enterprise Zone offering property tax abatement for new development. “This is an opportunity zone, so we would want to really take advantage of that,” Sernande said. “There’s a lot of capital gains out there that really need to get reinvested in this area.” But investors need to under- stand what the investment will entail, their equity in the project and the Port’s role, he said. “We have to put together a plan that works for all parties,” he said. Blueprints: ‘It’s been fun to see the little buzz they’ve created’ Continued from Page 1A He decided to pull out the schematics and show them to Ratty, who he said was imme- diately intrigued. After con- firming they could be signif- icant, he donated them to the Cannon Beach History Center and Museum. “It’s been fun to see the little buzz they’ve cre- ated,” Proctor said. “It’s very nice to see that they will be well cared for.” While clearly old, it’s unlikely the schematics are the original drawings, as there are outlines around the prints that make them appear like copies. But they could be the schemat- ics used at the construction site in 1880, with evidence of cof- fee stains and burn marks from being held up to candlelight. The schematics are signif- icant because they confirm questions historians have had about the landmark for years.

For example, the light- house today has portholes, but the drawings show the original lighthouse had regular win- dows — possibly blown out by rough winter storms. The lighthouse today is made with limestone from a recent reno- vation — the drawings show never seen a plan with his name on it,” Trucke said. Trucke is now working on getting the proper type of light box to display the schematics in the museum, and hopes to scan them and put them online for everyone to see. “This makes history tangi- ble for people,” Trucke said.
