mandate that you do. It’s
not an impossible task. It’s
not being heartless — it just
isn’t physically possible.”
City Councilor Tita
Montero asked that the city
reconsider how the property
is managed.
“Right now, o ne of my
big concerns is that with-
out any rules for density,”
she said., “It is getting
more and more jammed
out there, with 17 RVs
and 12 cars. I know from
having interactions with
people there that some of
those cars are only there
for storage because some
people have fi gured out
they can just store the car
there. I have a big concern
that there’s a trailer right
in the very middle and at
night there is not adequate
lighting in that area. And

somebody could very eas-
ily plow into that trailer.”
The land is city prop-
erty,
Montero
said.
“There’s an encampment
on it. We’re obviously
not going to kick them off
because we can’t. So how
are we going to manage
The city is not sanction-
ing that area as a place to
go, Winstanley said. “But
then again, we’re not say-
ing you can’t be there. So
we’re kind of in a very gray
area because at this point
we wouldn’t know where to
send people.”

be interpreted as us put-
ting a stamp of approval
on it. It’s not a stamp of
approval. It’s the stamp of

that it’s safe and putting

Ordinance: City considers overnight camping zones

ordinance. ‘Well, here it
is. You can’t go into these
areas.’ I’m not sure there
would be many of them
asking for the ordinance
because I don’t think they
understand it.”
The state may not crim-
inalize being homeless in
public places or criminalize
conduct that is an unavoid-
able consequence of being
homeless, such as sitting,
lying or sleeping on the
streets, Van Thiel said.
After a series of work-
shops and forums, Seaside
hoped to adopt a camping
ordinance similar to that
in place in Coos Bay since
October, designed to pro-
tect the safety of citizens
and regulate use of publicly
owned property by estab-
lishing time, manner and
place guidelines for trailers,
tents, campers and RVs.
The Coos Bay ordi-
nance provides RV camp-
ing on city streets for up to
72 hours and allows camp-
ing along U.S. Highway
101. Camping in all parks is
illegal — campers may be
in the parks during the day,
but cannot stay overnight.
“I think a city has to take
a proactive approach and
the question is, ‘What does
that mean?’” Van Thiel
said. “Because there’s a
whole lot of things that
come along with that con-
cerning objections: What
areas can they use that are
characterized as public
property, and how are the
people in the community
going to react to the coun-
cillor selection of that par-
ticular place? I think there
has to be a rational basis
for and reasonable basis for
whatever is done on public
property.”
City Councilor Randy
Frank said he was frus-
trated with the confl icting
guidelines.
“It seems like there
are just a lot of ‘nos,’ and
nothing defi ned with how
to address this,” he said.
“I don’t know how to
approach it then and still
A pitch to City Council
for more fi eld access
By R.J. MARX
Seaside Signal
With the closing and
sale of former Seaside
School District facilities,
Chris Corder and Jessica
Garrigues turned to the
City Council to discuss
options for baseball and
softball activities.
“Specifi cally, we’ve
lost several of those
opportunities in the sale
of some schools with
the Gearhart school,
and potential loss of the
so-called North 40 area,”
Corder said.
Corder, a member of
the Seaside School Dis-
trict board of directors,
said he was speaking as a
private citizen.
The North 40, land
north of the former high
school, belonged to Clat-
sop County and was
deeded to the city after
the closing of the school.
Teams used the area for
soccer, baseball and other
activities.
“I don’t know much
about what’s in the
works,” Corder said. “But
I do know that our city is
in dire need of this type
of amenity. And we really
need to encourage this
development and invest-
ment in our youth.”
With the closing of
Gearhart
Elementary,
teams lost areas for soft-
ball, baseball, soccer and
pee-wee football, Garri-
gues said. “We lost three
fi elds and even more
space that was used for
practices. And so we
really have a big need for
that outdoor space.”
that land is concerned. So
it’s not as easy as just sim-
ply saying, ‘Well, we’re
going to take this park and
we’re going to use it in this
manner.’”
While Seaside need not
select specifi c locations for
an encampment, it must
make clear that people can
understand where they are
allowed to be, which would
be a decision for the City
Council to make, Van Thiel
said. “I want the council to
understand this is an evolv-
ing area of the law,” he said.
A new look at the Coos
Bay ordinance by city staff
will follow, as well as a
look for potential partner-
ships for the homeless.
City Councilor David
Posalski proposed zones
for overnight camping. “I
think if we look at the map,
and say ‘these are the zones
where it’s allowed,’ it can
be as simple as that, ” he
said.
have an ordinance.”
City Councilor Tom
Horning proposed consider-
ing portions of land owned
by the Oregon Department
of Transportation on North
Roosevelt Drive.
“I have talked to repre-
sentatives and they have
suggested that if we came
up with a plan, they might
be able to talk about doing
something,” he said. “It’s
big enough — it’s 800 feet
by 400 feet approximately.
We might be able to swing
a deal.”
“There’s an idea that the
city has places and we are
not a city that is land rich,”
City Manager Mark Win-
stanley said. “Some cities
own lots of property. This
city doesn’t own a great
deal of property. Most of
the property that the city
owns is in its parks, and
those parks have conditions
and easements and diff er-
ent requirements as far as
