EVCNB hosts tsunami lecture

WILL CHAPPELL Citizen Editor

A standing-room-only

crowd packed the Pine Grove Community House in Manzanita on July 28, to attend a lecture on tsunami modeling hosted by the Emergency Volunteer Corps of Nehalem Bay.

The lecture by Dr. Jonathan Allan from Oregon’s Department of Geology and Mineral Industries detailed how experts at the department use clues from past tsunamis to predict future outcomes.

Allan has worked for the Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) since 2001 and currently serves as the head of its tsunami modeling and mapping program.

Scientists studying tsunamis look at the historical record of tsunamis, in a practice known as paleoseismology, combined with the more recent recorded events to predict what will happen in future tsunamis.

Paleoseismologists look for evidence of sediment deposits caused by tsunami inundation in soil records, areas where land subsidence can be observed and ghost forests, where low-lying trees were submerged in salt water after a seismic event, to indicate an area’s seismic activity.

After observing those indicators, scientists look

at recent, well-documented earthquakes and tsunamis to develop inundation models. Those include the 1960 Chilean earthquake, which at a magnitude 9.5 was the largest in recorded history, as well as the 1964 Alaskan earthquake and 2011 Japanese event.

Allan then discussed the situation on the Oregon coast, which sits near the Cascadia Subduction Zone and is susceptible to tsunamis from farther afield. Allan said that tsunami generation requires an earthquake with a magnitude of at least 7.0 on the Richter scale.

Distant tsunamis are those that are generated in fault zones elsewhere on the pacific rim and take between four and 12 hours to arrive on Oregon shores. Since 1850, 30 distant tsunamis have impacted the Oregon coast,

with substantial damage caused in Cannon Beach and Seaside by the 1964 Alaskan quake and tsunami and in Brookings by the 2011 Japan earthquake.

The more serious scenario for the Oregon coast is a Cascadia subduction zone event, which would cause exponentially more damage due to its proximity.

The Cascadia subduction zone is formed where the Juan de Fuca tectonic plate slides eastward under the North American plate just off the coast of northern California, Oregon and Washington. The zone’s existence was not discovered until the 1990s, when researchers pieced together indigenous accounts, geologic evidence and Japanese records to determine that a major tsunami had occurred in 1700.

Since the subduction zone’s discovery, researchers have examined soil records both on land and under the ocean to develop a more detailed picture of the zone’s record. That research shows that 26 partial-margin ruptures, causing quakes around a magnitude 7, have occurred, while full-margin ruptures have occurred on average every 500 years. Allan then discussed the experience of going through and impacts of a Cascadia subduction zone earthquake and tsunami. Depending on the size of the rupture along the fault and location, shaking from the earthquake would last between tens of seconds and five minutes. The southern coast is located closer to the fault itself and is projected to

Wheeler’s city council unanimously approved the hiring of Wesley Wootten to serve as city manager at their June council meeting, following the resignation of Pax Broeder. Wootten assumed the role on June 24, bringing a background in nonprofits to the role where he says he hopes to support and listen to citizens to help council move the city forward.

“One thing that’s really important to me is that the city manager and us here in city hall are here to support the citizens of Wheeler,” Wooten said. “We’re not here to promote an agenda or our

New apartments open in Garibaldi

WILL CHAPPELL Citizen Editor

Residents are set to begin moving into the new Garibaldi Bayview Apartments at the east end of the city and seven lots prepared for home construction above the complex are on the market. The 3-acre project was shepherded by the development team of Paul Daniels and Ron Halter and marks the third complex they have partnered on in the city in the last decade.

Friends since high school, the men became involved in development in Garibaldi in 2014, constructing and operating the Garibaldi Village and Garibaldi Creekside apartments. Daniels has lived in Garibaldi for 33 years after starting a career in excavation in California, and Halter has been a developer in the Willamette Valley for 18 years after working in aerospace. Daniels said that the partnership began over a conversation at his kitchen

table a decade ago and joked that “this whole thing took about 30 seconds to start.” After deciding to team up, the pair found a property within days and hit the ground running. Progress on the Bayview project began in 2019, when Daniels and Halter purchased the property near the east end of the city on Highway 101. The coronavirus pandemic delayed the planning and permitting stages of the project significantly, preventing work from starting until last year.

After starting work, the pair’s experience helped to bring the project to fruition expeditiously and 12 of the complex’s 18 units had been inspected by the last week of June, with the rest due for inspection in the coming days. Each of the units will be one bedroom and 710 square feet, with larger apartments not possible due to the property’s topography. Rent will cost $1,450 and pets are

Update on HB 406 to allow multifamily housing

WILL CHAPPELL

CITIZEN EDITOR

The Tillamook County Planning Commission held a workshop on June 27, for a presentation on Oregon House Bill 406, which requires Tillamook County and its cities to greatly expand code allowances for multifamily dwelling units. Elizabeth Decker from JET Planning gave a detailed presentation about the bill’s specifics and the process that her firm and others will use to help the county update its ordinance. Passed in 2023 and sponsored by State Senator Suzanne Weber, HB 406 was designed as a test case for possible solutions to the state’s housing crisis, using Tillamook County to test the impacts multifamily housing zoning changes

in rural areas. The bill requires that the county and cities therein update their zoning ordinances to allow duplexes wherever singlefamily houses are permitted and requires expansion in the allowance of triplexes, fourplexes, and cottage clusters.

Decker said that the impetus behind the bill was to remove hurdles facing developers who want to bring those types of units, often referred to as missing middle housing, to the market. With Oregon’s stringent land use laws and procedures, developers currently have to go through a complex process including public hearings to get a project approved.

The bill applies to the seven incorporated cities in the county as well as the unincorporated communities governed by the county

government that are serviced by water utilities.

In addition to the ordinance updates required by 2025, the bill also mandated that the county and cities participate in an Oregon Housing Needs Analysis that will be released in 2027 and develop countywide housing production strategies to meet the needs identified in that analysis by 2028.

JET Planning is working alongside 3J Consulting to assist the county in the ordinance update and has also been retained by several cities. Though Nehalem, Rockaway Beach and Manzanita have selected other planning firms, Decker said that representatives from all involved firms were meeting monthly.

The bill provides the county and cities two options for updating their ordinances, including a

model ordinance as well as minimum standards that proposed ordinances could be reviewed against. In either case, the updates will have largely the same substance, with only a few choices left to the local governments.

The most important of those will be the decision of whether to have minimum lot size requirements for triplex, fourplex and cottage cluster developments or to allow them on any lot zoned for a singlefamily home. Governments will also decide the maximum size of cottage clusters that will be allowed, within a range of four to 12 units.

Governments will also need to decide whether they will allow duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes to be built as detached units, and set forth parking

requirements and design standards, though standards must also apply to singlefamily homes in the zone.

Decker said that governments were also provided with an opportunity to create a new process to allow lots with multifamily dwelling units to be subdivided for sale or they could elect to leave the code as is and have the developments function as condominiums.

With under a year until the bill’s June 31, 2025, deadline for ordinance updates, the project is now kicking into high gear.

Decker is currently auditing the county’s current code to identify all sections that will need to be changed as part of the update. She said that in the coming weeks, her firm and the others will also begin holding stakeholder interviews with groups

including developers and the planning commission and that a focus group with residents impacted by housing shortages is being planned.

Following those interviews, the consultants will conduct community engagement in the fall before proposing a first draft for the code updates. The public will be given an opportunity to comment on the proposed changes late this year or early next, before a final draft is developed and delivered to the board of county commissioners for approval.

Tillamook County Community Development Director Sarah Absher said that her department is planning to have at least two meetings with each impacted community before commissioners vote on the update.

Originally, Daniels and Halter had hoped to build more apartments at higher elevations on the three-acre property, but neighbors’ hesitance ended up leading to the decision to subdivide the rest of the property for single-family homes.

The subdivision created seven properties on the hillside above the apartments, with six around a quarter of an acre in size and the seventh larger. Daniels and Halter added two new streets to access the properties, as well as underground utility lines to make the properties construction ready.

Halter’s daughter, Sheri Baker, is representing the properties and encouraged prospective buyers to reach out to discuss financing and construction possibilities.

The apartments will be managed by the same person who oversees Daniels and Halter’s two other Garibaldi complexes as well as a fulltime maintenance person.

Halter said that he thought this was probably the duo’s last project in Garibaldi but allowed that another opportunity might draw them into another.

“Is this the last project,” Halter wondered. “I don’t know. If I get bored and scratch my belly and look around and Paul feels like doing it again, we could find a spot.” Please visit garibaldivillageapartments.com for more information.

The pair have worked with the local contractors who worked on the apartments to develop home designs that will comply with the covenants, conditions and restrictions they have attached to the properties. There will not be a homeowners’ association in the subdivision and the building restrictions are aimed primarily at maintaining neighbors’ views, according to Daniels.

County purchases BLM building for $3 million

WILL CHAPPELL CITIZEN EDITOR

As part of a plan to replace the county’s aging courthouse, Tillamook’s board of county commissioners approved the purchase of the Bureau of Land Management building on Third Street in Tillamook for $3 million on July 3.

Following an extensive remodel, the building will serve as the new home of the Tillamook County circuit court and district attorney’s office.

Attempts to replace the current courthouse, built in 1932, have been ongoing since at least 2008, when a statewide study found that it was the fourth worst facility in the state. The county, which is responsible for providing and maintaining a facility for

have severe to violent shaking, while the north coast is expected to experience strong to severe shaking.

Allan said that there will also be numerous aftershocks, citing the 2011 Japanese earthquake when 2,500 occurred within 25 hours, and large waves for ten to 12 hours. Of the coast’s approximately 225,000 residents, Allan said that between 24,000 and 60,000 are exposed to Tsunami risk.

Using that figure and tsunami models, DOGAMI staff have predicted that a medium sized earthquake

the circuit court and district attorney, came close to constructing a purpose-built facility near the jail on Long Prairie Road, only for a $1 million funding gap to derail the project in 2016. Another effort began in 2021, when a three-phase plan envisioning a remodel and expansion of the current courthouse with an annex to house the board of commissioners and other county staff was proposed. The first phase of the project, entailing remodeling and reassignment of courtrooms and the board of commissioners’ meeting room, was completed in 2022, but forward momentum towards the annex stalled thereafter.

Early this year when the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announced plans to build a new office at the Port of Tillamook

ton and Washington D.C. But public service has always appealed, Wootten said, and after five years with nonprofits, he began to search for jobs in local government across the country, with Wheeler jumping off the page as an excellent opportunity to begin his career in municipal administration. “It seemed like a really good fit because I know it’s a small town and I grew up in a small town just like it but on the east coast,” Wooten said. “And me just starting out as a city manager, I think this is a good place to start because I think I have the experience and the skills to do it and it just seemed like a good fit not only for

Those same calculations estimate that between 20,000 and 45,000 people will be displaced depending on the size of the event and $14 to $19 billion in damage caused.

Allan praised the work of the EVCNB in preparing north Tillamook County for a tsunami and said that such preparations on an individual and community level were critical to boosting resilience. Allan also said that DOGAMI officials continue to work on updating warning signage along Highway 101, evacuation maps and analyzing coastwide needs.

Bay and the sale of its current building on Third Street. Tillamook County Chief of Staff Rachel Hagerty said that the 13,000-square-foot building is large enough to support all court and district attorney operations and presented the best option to resolve safety issues at the current courthouse.

In January, the county submitted a proposal to the Association of Oregon Counties for the remodel project that estimated a total budget of $12 million. The state government will contribute half of the funding for the project, with the county responsible for the balance, according to Hagerty.

Responsibility for the initial purchase falls to the county, which will be using funding remaining from the American Rescue Plan Act

me to start but I think I can do a good job here for Wheeler.”

After being hired on June 18, Wootten began work on June 24, with Broeder remaining for his first week to help ease the transition. Wootten said that he has been studying the city’s charter, county’s ordinances and Oregon statutes and familiarizing himself with projects and issues in the city as a first order of business. Looking forward, Wootten said that he plans to prioritize continuing improvements to the city’s infrastructure by applying for grants to support street and water system repairs and upgrades. Wootten said that he would also like to

and a bank loan to cover the cost. Once the purchase is complete, the county will be eligible to receive $1 million from the state for planning in 2025, which would allow the county to apply for state funding for construction in 2026, for distribution in the 20272029 biennium.

Tillamook County Commissioner Erin Skaar said that the decision to purchase the building and remodel rather than pushing ahead with the construction of an annex at the courthouse had been motivated by several factors. Remodeling an existing structure carries a significantly lower price tag, $700 per square foot versus $1,000, than new construction and by moving court operations to a completely new facility the project will be eligible for more state funding than

work with the city council on projects to revitalize the section of Highway 101 running through downtown, support housing projects to grow the city’s workforce and diversify the city’s revenues. Wootten praised the three other members of Wheeler’s city staff and their teamwork and support in helping him to acclimate to the new position. He said that together they would work to keep Wheeler clean and safe and to communicate with residents and businesses about their needs.

“I want to make sure that community engagement and communication in Wheeler is strong,” Wootten said, “because

Skaar said that in considering the approach she and other commissioners had weighed the failures of past attempts and prioritized finding the most costeffective solution to ensure completion.

Approval of the contract was unanimous and included a deposit of $100,000 in earnest money and a 75-day period to complete due diligence.

Commissioners also heard a presentation from Tillamook County Clerk Christy Nyseth about House Bill 2004, which was passed this year and will ask Oregon voters whether they prefer to employ ranked-choice voting going forward in November.

Oregon’s proposal would apply to federal and statewide offices and allow for cities, counties and special districts to employ the methodology if they desired.

Commissioners also approved a $35,000 contract for a replacement feasibility study for the health department’s HVAC system, which is currently overworked after repeated expansions to the facility have led to a five-heatpump system which only serves half the building adequately and was seen smoking earlier this year.

A traffic stop near Fred Meyer in Tillamook took an unexpected turn when the vehicle’s driver allegedly opened fire on Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office Deputies and Tillamook City Police Officers before absconding.

Joey de la Rosa Rodriguez of Damascus was

spotted around 6:30 p.m. on June 26, by Tillamook Sherriff’s Deputies and Oregon State Troopers driving a white Toyota Tacoma. The officers had identified de la Rosa Rodriguez as having arrest warrants in Clackamas and Yamhill Counties for eluding law enforcement officers in recent days and pulled him over. During the stop, de la

Rosa Rodriguez allegedly opened fire on the officers with a pistol, hitting multiple law enforcement vehicles. Officers from both the sheriff’s office and Tillamook City Police returned fire, before de la Rosa Rodriguez sped off to the south.

After traveling nearly five miles on Highway 101, de la Rosa Rodriguez’s vehicle was par-

tially disabled by a spike strip deployed by sheriff’s deputies, forcing him to pull into a residential driveway, where he was taken into custody.

Upon apprehending de la Rosa Rodriguez, officers discovered that he had sustained an apparent gunshot wound to the arm and provided medical care until an ambulance arrived and transported him to Ad -

ventist Health Tillamook. There, he was treated for his injury before being released and taken to the Tillamook County Jail, where he was booked on multiple felony warrants from Clackamas and Yamhill Counties. As the case is an officer involved shooting by the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office and Tillamook City Police, the Oregon

State Police will be lead investigators. Involved law enforcement members have been placed on paid administrative leave. Tillamook County District Attorney Aubrey Olson told the Herald that she planned to seek charges for 17 different counts relating to the incident, including for four counts of attempted assault in the first degree with a firearm.
