Officials cool to retailer’s land plea City seeks more information before approval By R.J. Marx Seaside Signal PAID PERMIT NO. 97 ASTORIA, OR PRSRT STD US POSTAGE An unnamed tenant wants to build a two-store retail de- velopment in Seaside near Avenue O and U.S. Highway 101. Representative Dan Do- ver of Texas-based Main & Main Capital Group LLC, went before the City Council on May 14 seeking the “city’s pulse” for the granting of a street vacation for property along U.S. Highway 101 in Seaside. A street vacation is a type of easement in which a government transfers the right-of-way of a public road to a private property owner. Dover said he had a pre- liminary commitment from the tenant, but they were hesitant to move forward until the property was deter- mined to be “permittable” at the city level. The property is located between Avenue N and Av- enue O. South Irvine Place runs north and south adja- cent to the proposed site. The tenant seeks the va- cation for the flexibility of parking and layout, Dover said, as existing city streets located within the site made it hard to develop. “What would the council’s thresh- old be in obtaining written sign-off?” he asked. Dover did not name the tenant, but said the business was “retail — grocery in na- ture.” “I do a lot of hearings and I’m hesitant to offer a lot of information and it could be used in a negative way.” Dover told city council- ors “an immediate need for action” was required. “If the council is favorable to this, we would proceed,” he said. City Attorney Dan Van Thiel advised a written sub- mission from the retailer be- fore any council action. “You have to envision what you’re asked when you vacate streets,” Van Thiel said to members of the City Coun- cil. “Is it in any way possible this community would have the necessity to ever utilize those streets? Because once they’re vacated, they’re gone.” See Street, Page 6A Campus sitework bid awarded at $17.4M Environmental permits await OK By R.J. Marx Seaside Signal The first bid package for the new Seaside Middle and High School site and utilities — storm, sanitary and water — was awarded to Coffman Excavation of Clackamas, according to project construc- tion manager Cary Bubenik. Coffman’s base bid of $17.4 million represents about 20 percent of the total construction cost, senior project manager Jim Henry said at the Tuesday, May 15, meeting of the Sea- side School District’s board of directors. “That’s a great mile- stone and gives us a clear sense of where we’re going and we’re on the right path.” Coffman’s contract amount will be finalized over the next month as the design is com- pleted. “We are also working See School, Page 6A Angelina’s pizzeria unveils oven, restaurant down the road Expanding the repertoire By R.J. Marx Seaside Signal Some people go restaurant-hunt- ing on Yelp! or the newspaper’s din- ing guide. Others find their restaurants on Craigslist. For Beth Hall, that’s how she became the owner of Angelina’s in Seaside seven years ago. Hall, who has owned Angelina’s for seven of the restaurant’s 10 years, is moving down the road to 1815 S. Roosevelt Drive. “When I took it over, we were do- ing about $300 a day,” the Cannon Beach resident said. “Now we’re do- ing $3,000 on weekend days.” She attributes the success to the vision of the original owners. “It’s a great concept.” Angelina was the middle name of Krista Miller, who started Angelina’s with her husband Adrian. “So the sauce, the dough, the reci- pes come from them,” Hall said. Hall attributes the restaurant’s growing popularity to fresh ingredi- ents. “We make the sauce fresh every day. We make the dough fresh every- day. We use the best ingredients we can find and we’re really generous.” A former Cincinnati, Ohio, resident, Hall worked for the family restaurant Bob Evans for 25 years. “No pizza,” she said. “But lots of restaurant expe- rience.” She found Angelina’s in Seaside for sale on Craigslist and it turned out “bet- ter than I could ever hope. The food is great, the way we take care of the cus- tomers, hopefully, and keeping a posi- tive, happy atmosphere every day.” Angelina’s has three cars for de- livery and 19 employees, but Hall said she still needs about 20 more at all posi- tions to staff the 5,000-square- feet, 108-seat R.J. MARX restaurant.
