A5 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 2019 Wendy’s: Location has caused concern Continued from Page A1 “Hiring’s been interest- ing,” she said. The region has one of its lowest unemployment rates in decades, raising the question of whether Wen- dy’s could fi nd workers for the lower-wage positions. Hullette-Gromoll said the company used social media and online ads to attract workers. “After we hired the fi rst round, it was word of mouth,” she said. Wendy’s will open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. inside and until midnight in the drive-thru , where Harris has predicted about two-thirds of the customers will go. The location has also caused concern over increased traffi c at Ensign Lane and U.S. Highway 101, the busiest intersection in the county. The restaurant is putting up signs to dis- courage people from block- ing the entrance and exit out of Warrenton High- lands, and employees will help direct traffi c, Harris said. Edward Stratton/The Daily Astorian Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife is planning a boat launch along the Klaskanine River near the intersection of Youngs River and Uno Swensk roads. Boat ramp: Construction could start next summer Continued from Page A1 One of the goals of the project is to create an offi - cial, safer boat ramp for an area that is already a popu- lar place to fi sh, said Mike Sinnott, an assistant district fi sh biologist with Fish and Wildlife. T here is only one gravel boat ramp on private prop- erty that people use to launch their boats. At peak times of the year, the county road and other side streets are packed with cars. “Our priority is to pro- mote larger, safer access to a fi shery that already exists,” Sinnott said. But during the public comment phase in March , a board member of the diking company alerted the county and Fish and Wildlife that the proposed boat ramp was in the diking company’s easement. N o construction can move forward without a majority vote of the board to approve it, said Ted Warila, the superintendent of the diking company. Though the dike has been fi lled in for decades , the board still has concerns . “There’s defi nitely some opposition. Our dike wasn’t built for boat traffi c going up and down so fast,” Warila said. “It’s not a very big river ... and if you get boats fl ying up and down, our banks are going to start eroding bad.” Other people in the neighborhood share the diking company’s concern with erosion, and fear the boat ramp would bring an increase in boat traffi c the river cannot handle. Sinnott said the depart- ment hopes to address con- cerns of erosion by estab- lishing speed limits. As a condition of approval, the state will also work with the county to post “no parking” signs along the road to alle- viate neighborhood crowd- ing, though Sinnott hopes having a formal parking lot will help solve the issue . Because the dike does not exist, F ish and W ildlife, like the county, was unaware of the easement when the application was submitted, Sinnott said. The depart- ment has sent a request let- ter to start the process of negotiating with the diking company. “Whatever our legal requirement is ... it will be met, even if it stops this project,” Sinnott said. If the project is approved, construction would start next summer. HEALTH NOTIFICATION! Are You Hard of Hearing?
