OBITUARY
WILSON—Frank Allen
Wilson, 72, passed away at
7:20 a.m. on Jan. 3, 2018.
Frank would like to share
with everyone that his work
here
is
done. He
has always
loved every
job he ever
had,
and
when his
newest job
offer came
in, he took Frank Wilson
it — a job
in which he will not be return-
ing from.
This opportunity came with
a bonus package he couldn’t
refuse: a reunion with family
and friends he has not seen in
a long time. His new mission
takes him on long Harley
rides, fishing with friends and
enjoying great food — just
like he always got at his
beloved “Frank’s Place.”
The biggest bonus of all is
he can run around in his
favorite Fourth of July attire
enjoying his libations with no
nagging from his wife!
He has left instructions for
his wife, Ann, and his two
sons, Frank and Steve, to cele-
brate his new afterlife mission.
Low adherence to his
instructions will not be tolerat-
ed.
A celebration of Frank’s life
will be held at Frank’s Place
on April 1, from 11:30 a.m. to
2 p.m.

DLCD gives guidelines on new Accessory Dwelling Unit requirements
SALEM — While Oregon's
population
continues
to
expand, the supply of housing,
already impacted by a lack of
building during the recession,
has not kept up.
To address the lack of hous-
ing supply, House Speaker Tina
Kotek introduced legislation to
remove barriers to develop-
ment. Among the provisions
that passed into law is the
requirement that cities and
counties over a certain popula-
tion allow accessory dwelling
units (ADUs) in areas zoned
for single-family dwellings.
This new requirement
becomes effective on July 1,
2018. To assist local govern-
ments, the Oregon Department
of Land Conservation and
Development (DLCD) has
published
guidelines
in
“Guidance on Implementing
the Accessory Dwelling Units
Requirement.”
In a few pages, the document
highlights a variety of guidance
by topic — from ADU design
Committee
members sought
for Port budget
The Port of Siuslaw Board
of Commissioners invites
applications from residents
interested in serving on the
port’s Budget Committee.
Interested persons should
obtain an application from
the port office at 100 Harbor
St. or from the port’s website
at www.portofsiuslaw.com.
Applications will be
accepted until 5 p.m. Friday,
March 30.
Applicants must be regis-
tered voters residing within
the Port of Siuslaw district.
The
district
boundary
encompasses most of the
Siuslaw River watershed,
including the communities
of Florence and Dunes City,
and extending upriver to
Mapleton, Walton, Lorane
and Blachly.
The Budget Committee is
a standing committee of five
members that sits jointly
with the Port Commission to
publicly review and revise
the annual budget.
The Budget Committee
approves the budget and tax
levy.
The budget then goes to
the Port Commission to be
adopted.
Committee
members
serve three-year terms which
expire on June 30.
Each committee member
is expected to work up to 20
hours; that includes review-
ing the budget and meeting
one to three times from May
through June each year.
The Committee may be
called to meet again during
the year in the event of a sig-
nificant budgetary change.
Questions should be
directed to the port office at

to
occupancy
requirements. The final page
includes model code language
for accessory dwellings that is
ready to be tailored to fit the
needs of communities.
Step-by-step instructions
have been shared with planning
departments and cities around
the state to further assist them
in implementing the new stan-
dard.
“As we all work to address
the housing crisis in our state,
and help give more Oregonians
shelter and a home, our agency
is proud to offer this assistance
to cities and counties,” said
Director Jim Rue. “DLCD also
has regional planners in offices
around the state who can work
directly with local govern-
ments to help tailor the model
code to meet the needs of indi-
vidual communities.”

Pedestrian Enforcement
Operation on March 17
On March 17, 2018, the
Florence Police Department
will conduct a Pedestrian
Enforcement Operation at
Highway 101 and 15th Street
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
It will be canceled if it is
raining.
Under Oregon law, a cross-
walk exists at any public
street intersection, whether
marked with paint or
unmarked.
Crosswalks also exist
between intersections (mid-
block) where indicated with
white paint.
At a traffic signal, drivers
must:
• Stop and remain stopped
for pedestrians until they have
cleared the lane in which the
driver is traveling and the
adjacent lane.
• Stop and remain stopped
for pedestrians until they have
cleared the lane into which the
driver’s vehicle is turning and
at least 6 feet of the adjacent
lane.
At any other crosswalk –
those without a signal – driv-
ers must:
• Stop and remain stopped
for pedestrians until they have
cleared the lane in which the
driver is traveling and the
adjacent lane.
• Stop and remain stopped
for pedestrians until they have
cleared the lane into which the
driver’s vehicle is turning and
the adjacent lane.
• Stop and remain stopped
for students crossing (or about
to cross) a street under the
direction of a crossing guard.
• Stop and remain stopped
for a blind or blind and deaf
pedestrian using a cane or a
guide dog, until the pedestrian
is completely across the road-
way.
A stopped car may be a clue
that a pedestrian is crossing.
Don’t pass until you know
what is going on. In fact, it is
not only unsafe but also ille-
gal in Oregon to pass a vehi-
cle stopped at a crosswalk for
a pedestrian.
Giving pedestrians more
space and slowing down in
their presence can save lives.
Pedestrians struck by vehicles
at 40 mph have an 85 percent
chance of dying in the colli-
sion.
That death rate drops to 15
percent at 20 mph.
