High School students help
design new gazebo
Dave Fowler’s class at the High School made several drawings for consideration of a struc-
ture next to the Post Office on Main St. The above miniature design was chosen by the city
beautification committee.
By David Sykes
When the Heppner
Beatification Committee
wanted help in designing a
new gazebo for a small park
on Heppner’s Main Street,
committee chair Joann Bur-
leson turned to high school
teacher Dave Fowler and
his students for help.
“We took our idea and
the measurements up to Mr.
Fowler and he had his stu-
dents do different designs
for what could go into that
area,” Burleson told the
Gazette-Times. She said
the committee had already
done a community survey
on what people wanted to
see in the area next to the
Post Office on Main after a
large tree was removed last
year. “We got quite a few
responses and most people
said anything but a tree,”
Burleson recalls. She said
most people wanted a place
where the public could sit,
eat and enjoy themselves.
Hometown Tacos has been
parking behind the area pro-
viding lunches for people,
and they were of course
happy with the idea of hav-
ing a place for people to sit
and enjoy their lunches, she
added
After Fowler’s class
had done the drawing de-
signs, the committee picked
one and the above minia-
ture structure was built. The
students plan on making the
building at the high school
and then transporting it
down to be placed. It will
have a composition roof
and will be placed into
concrete to withstand wind
and the elements. Burleson
said they have not decided
whether to paint it or leave
it natural, but expects to
have it up by April. The
cost will be between $750
and $1,200 and she said
her committee is looking
for funding to complete
the project at this time.
Photos of the mock up were
presented to the Heppner
City Council at its monthly
meeting last week.
In other business at the
Feb. 12 meeting, the council
voted to put $1,000 toward
a buildable lands inventory
and study being conducted
by the county planner. The
council last month heard a
report from Planning Direc-
tor Carla McLane who said
she is launching a buildable
lands inventory and hous-
ing study on land through-
out Morrow County. She
said because of anticipated
growth and a current and
ongoing shortage of hous-
ing in the county, the study
will prepare maps and lists
of available land zoned for
residential purposes. The
study will also look at avail-
able industrial and commer-
cial property in the cities
and the county at large.
McLane said the study
will, among other things,
“project the number of new
housing units needed in the
next 20 years,” look at what
type of housing the future
populations of the county
will want, determine what
types of housing is likely
to be affordable based on
household incomes and es-
timate the number of addi-
tional units by housing type
needed. The study will look
at each city in the county as
well as the county at large.
Cost of the study will
be divided up among the
county and the cities, with
the county paying $30,000,
the city of Boardman and Ir-
rigon pledging $5,000 each,
and Ione and Lexington
$200 each. Heppner voted
to contribute $1,000 toward
the study. It is expected to
be completed no later than
the end of 2018.
In other business the
council voted to appoint
A d a m D o h e r t y, M a t t
Combe, Merle Cowett, Carl
Lauritsen and John Qualls
to the city police commis-
sion. They will be four year
terms.
The council reviewed
an invoice for $3,281 sent
to Tareena Healy for the
cleanup of her properties on
Water Street. The city had,
for quite some time, threat-
ened to send city crews
onto the property that was
not cleaned up, and finally
did so. The bill included
charges for labor, equip-
ment and dumping fees to
clean up the property. Healy
must now pay the bill or the
city has the option to place
a lien on her property for
the amount of the invoice.
Under new city ordinances
to combat nuisance proper-
ties, the city could foreclose
on the property in order to
satisfy payment.
